The majority of the large Puerto Rican community in Orlando, Florida seems to favor Obama, however, Puerto Rican, Geovanna Santiago, 35, plans to vote for Romney. She's been living in Kissimmee for seven years, and has been living in a hotel room at The Paradise Inn with her husband and four children for the past month due to some financial hardships. She's working at a nearby Olive Garden restaurant to help pay the $560 monthly rent there. (Photo by Sarah L. Voisin/The Washington Post via Getty Images)

Hello Nobby, first of all, thank you very much for your very complete answer. The reason i decided to give a try to Running Wizard is because it was recommended to me when i mentioned on a previous post how surprised i was by how different seemed to be marathon training programs available when i first started to do some research on them:
Those plans made me think that i had to come up with my own plan if i wanted to train longer and safer, but somebody recommeded my Running Wizard, and iam actually happy about the program, just really needed to get information on the science behind it and why it should work, somehow i thought that maybe it was going to be better than the other programs for me, but maybe it was going to to still have at least 1 or 2 longer runs as the others too. I think i read at least one article (i cannot remember the its name) that stated something very similar to what you were saying, that after 2.5 hrs there was really no more benefit, and greater chances of damage. The stats you mentioned ("after LA marathon, he texted me and said the group's "finish rate" went up from 75% to 95%; and the injury rate dropped from 27% to 5") and all the other cases mentioned earlier, are good reasons to believe this way of training should work better and seems to be safer too. Also in my hometown, at least as a woman, there is not a safe place to run on the streets, i run on a small park near my house, so shorter distances are easier to manage.
Something else that i wont have available is a place to train hills. I'm thinking i will need to get the training on a treadmill, do you think this will still work?
Thank you again, iam really very much happy that it is possible to have this interaction, after all as someone new on the marathon distance this is really a big challenge!
laurita....my hill training weeks for my program just happened to land on weeks where we got lots of snow and ice in my area and i wasn't able to go outside for the workouts. i did one of the hill workouts on the treadmill, it's tricky, but you can do it. Finding the right speed with the right incline took me a bit, but i did figure it out. not as good as running a "real hill" but an option if you don't have any other choice
I am doing most of my Hill workouts on a treadmill (because of snow and ice ... and lack of hills nearby). I think Nobby has mentioned somewhere that stairs are a very good substitute for actual hills, maybe even better. When I watched the videos of people bounding and springing up a hill, I could see replicating that action on stairs (two at a time, for example). (On the other hand, going down stairs might not be a good idea.)
Drink beer. Mostly ales. Sometimes stouts.
Earlier in this thread, Nobby mentioned the 3x20 mile plans with some disdain. I followed one of those types of plans last summer before running a marathon in October. I am now almost 14 weeks into an RW marathon plan, and I happened to look at a plot of my daily mileage over the last year. After customizing it a bit, I think it shows graphically one of the big differences between these plans -- namely, the length/duration of the mid-week runs (see RED curves in plot below) and overall consistency. (Maybe I'll update this plot after I run the race in June.) For someone who is concerned that, with RW, they aren't running enough "really long" long runs (like they would with one of the 3x20 mile plans) and are afraid they won't be prepared for the full marathon, I think it might help to look at this to alleviate those concerns. It stood out to me when I looked at it and thought I should share:
MTA: Deleted -- Not sure how to post the graph as an image here. Oops.
Maybe easier to link to it: http://www.runningahead.com/logs/829207e9fa8845b1aef0c88124433cd9/reports/graph?e10=10&l12=2013-06-22&g12=2012-06-01&x=12&y=20&t=0
Christirei, SubDood thank you for sharing...... this is great news that at least a few have tried and it worked, not looking forward to spend so much time on a treadmill though....i might look for some fun stairs hah
I just took a look to the plot, so it seems that we are running longer more frequently right? That is what i thought with the SC, that i wasnt going to be running enough with an easy, an interval and a crazy long run every weekend. Its a very nice plot, thanks again! I hope you remember sharing later on to see the final shape.

Yeah, the plot is still a work in progress. But the thing that stood out when I looked at it the first time was how the "really long" runs in the 3x20 plan looked like skinny weak tree branches sticking up from a small foundation (trunk), whereas under the current RW plan, the plot just looks really dense and solid. I've still got a ways to go, though, but I'm glad someone else found it interesting. I'll be more likely to update it now! Thanks!

Secretary's Day is officially celebrated in late April. But, like Mother's Day, it really should be acknowledged every day. Every secretary should be greeted by her boss with a rose in one hand, and a latte in the other, as a show of gratitude for the person who makes his work life livable.
I was just leafing through an old journal and found an entry I'd written 30 years ago about how it felt to be a secretary, after I'd left the profession to become a massage therapist (which is what I did prior to entering the field of video production). What's interesting about it is that the role of secretary has not really changed all that much in three decades, except for a more palatable title that now includes males who find themselves in the role of "Administrative Professional" or "Executive Admin." So with no further ado,...
There is no bigger nuisance to me than the telephone. For nearly ten years of my life I plowed the secretarial fields of boredom, redundancy and monotony, ever striving for better, always scheming to get somewhere else, out from behind that desk covered in papers and figures and runny ink pens and telephones. The funny thing about a telephone is that no matter how quiet it has been all day, the moment it begins to ring, two more lines will start buzzing as well. Everyone calls at once. And it's up to me to be the diplomat, the efficient receptionist, the elegant octopus. I have never been more disgusted with any employment as that of secretary, the most thankless job in the universe.
"Here, make two thousand copies of these reports, and copy on both sides of the page," is one directive that haunts me in nightmares to this day. "I will never never never ever find myself in that position again," I retort, and the black dream clouds lift and disperse, but never so far away that I would ever forget what it was like to be a secretary.
A boss is a boss is a boss. Female bosses can sometimes be a little better than male bosses, especially if the woman began her career at the bottom-most rung of the ladder, as somebody's "Girl Friday" - a term which calls to mind a modified Gauguin jungle girl with bared breasts holding a platter of coffee cups and a memo pad. Whatever else a girl Friday must do, the ever present memo pad lends credibility to her position, taking down someone else's notes. Came a time when I wanted to be the one giving notes, dictating into a recorder and having someone else type out my sage thoughts.
For some, secretarial work can be the first rung in the ladder leading up to psychosis, insanity and intense self loathing. I know it was this way with me. I kept feeling that there was something else out there for me. This is not to say that I didn't learn a lot of valuable information regarding filing systems, addressing envelopes, the proper way to answer a (choke) phone, how to write a striking business letter and how to market oneself. But after a few years, the lessons began to boomerang, laughing at me; at what expense these lessons, I began to wonder.
There is one day a year, "Secretary's Day," that was always an embarrassment to me. This is the one time in an entire fiscal year that a boss would remember who he's got out in the front office, minding the telephone and scraping together the coffee every morning. He might buy her a single long-stemmed rose, and/or take her out to lunch, filling that one hour sandwiched between two halves of grueling labor, with more business talk. Secretarying is one job that goes everywhere with you: to any restaurant in the city, to the bathroom when all you want to do is mend your makeup, and then home, to bed. There were times when, after a full eight-hour day of non-stop labor (even a coffee break is laborious), I would come home and dream of undergoing another eight-hour work day. Then I'd wake up and be faced with the same thing again, thus enduring 24 hours of work in a 36-hour period!
I never again want to:
-have a copy machine break down in my presence and begin smoking with the 72 reports that need to be copied and sent (today) going limp in my hands;
- be in charge of making coffee that half the members of the office consider mud and the other half think is like drinking watered-down ink;
- get "dealt on" by the boss. Although this happens in any profession, as a secretary it feels just a little more degrading and one almost believes that it may just be included in one's job duties. Filing, typing and making it with the boss.
Sometimes, between massage jobs, I think, "Well, I can always make some money as a temp typist" and it's a deadly thought. Sure, one can make some money, but think of the price. The new kid on the block is always the most belittled. If you are a new face at the front desk, the older, wiser employees assume they can drop anything into your in-box and you'll do it. You don't know any better. And they always delight to see if you can answer twenty lines on the phone at the same time as rub your tummy and scratch your head. Hello, catatonia!
I want to take this opportunity to thank some of my past bosses for all they have done for me: Thank you, Paul Stein, for teaching me the best method of filing: The boss stands there and hands the secretary each and every piece of paper to be filed and makes up categories on the spot. And thank you for mixing business with pleasure. The vacuuming, cooking and other assorted duties rounded out my meager secretarial existence. Thank you for your astute attraction to me and thanks for the Irish coffee. Thanks for your affection but the pay was not quite up to par. And having your bedroom located in the same setting as your business office was somewhat disconcerting.
Thank you, Nancy Jensen, for being my wisest instructor. You are the one who taught me how to follow my feelings. The times were up and down but I was never happier as anyone's secretary than as yours. You are the one who suggested I look into massage as a vocation, and I have never forgotten how we grew to respect one another for who we were, and for these things I still maintain a deep respect and love for you.
And finally, thank you, Fred Parks, for your business-like approach to business. You're the one who first took me on when no one else would, thus beginning my sweet and sour career as go-fer and go-between, my education in life from a secretary's viewpoint, the "school of hard knocks," as my dad would have put it.

This makes secretarying sound so glamorous. The whole coffee thing alone makes me never want to do it.What an entertaining post this is.

Thanks, Cheeseboy! Since I wrote this 30 years ago, it was like reading work by another author. I'd completely forgotten about writing it, and feeling it. I thought it was surely worth of resurrecting! ;)

Very thought-provoking post!

Scottsdale Quarter
Sustainable design elements were incorporated throughout Scottsdale Quarter. Unique challenges, such as phasing of the project around an operating laboratory and organizing the installation of building services to meet space requirements, were faced and overcome. One of Glimcher's design goals was to create a "place" and not a "project," therefore the architectural expression is organic in nature, complementing and creating diversity through a strong urban rhythm, form and materials. The architecture is complex, contemporary and clean, and the palette of materials is regional in nature.

Welcome to Labrador Retriever Dog Training
[captionpix alt="labrador-retriever" imgsrc=http://www.labradorretrieverdogtraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/IMG_5655a.jpg]
Welcome to Labrador Retriever Dog Training, I really hope you enjoy the great content and resources I have on this topic.
My name is Joe, I own 2 wonderful hunting Labrador Retrievers and just added a new Lab puppy. All 3 are highly trained hunting retrievers I trained myself. I've also helped numerous friends and relatives train thier Labs. I have included a few recommended e-books and health care products to help you train your Labrador Retriever. I have used all the products and services I recommend. I'll introduce you to my dogs on the ABOUT US page.
The Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular dog breeds in the world
The Labradors make dog training fairly easy. They are very social, loving and willing to please. Most labs can be trained at a very young age in the form of games. The Labrador is a very versatile breed used for hunting, drug detection, seeing eye and search and rescue. This is a testament to the trainability of this amazing breed. Although it's easily trainable some Labs can be very energetic and headstrong. I have a number of great articles to help head off problems before they become prominent annoying behaviors.
The Labradors are a very popular hunting and field trial dog. Training a top notch hunting dog requires a very solid foundation in basic obedience. The commands SIT, STAY, HERE, HEEL and DOWN are not only the hunting dogs training foundation but also what makes a family pet very well mannered. Most of this site is geared toward the basic foundation of obedience, however I am expanding the hunting section to help with the highly specialized hunting dog training.

Albrecht Dürer's "Great Piece of Turf" (Das große Rasenstück) is remarkable for its universality—a snapshot of wild flowers and grasses that could be drawn from any country, at any time—and as a landmark painting in sixteenth century Europe, when weeds were more than a gardener's headache, and realism had yet to influence the field of botanic illustration.
Painted in 1503, Dürer's watercolor portrait of common plants is considered the earliest realistic depiction of plant life. His contemporaries were fascinated with weeds for their medicinal and mythological value, yet botanic drawings were mostly included in herbals—as such, they were removed from their environments, and were abstracted, often unrecognizable. In Dürer's painting, a work that would be regarded as "painting's discovery of ecology" (Richard Mabey, Weeds: In Defense of Nature's Most Unloved Plants), prosaic subjects are rendered in detail with roots, buds, leaves—stripped of glamour and flowers, an unorganized assemblage of wild plants.
As today's gardener will appreciate, Dürer's botanic subjects are portrayed as integrated species—and he illustrated that we can best understand plants by recognizing them as a community.
Among the plants that have been identified are daisies, yarrow, plantains, dandelions, pimpernels and cocksfoot. The watercolor is part of the collection of the Albertina, in Vienna.

Coming off of two-straight conference wins, the University of Wisconsin mens tennis team (15-7, 4-4 Big Ten) dropped a heartbreaker to No. 33 Minnesota on Sunday. The Golden Gophers won the Border Battle by a score of 4-3 at the Nielsen Tennis Stadium.
Wisconsin opened up the match on the right foot by notching the doubles point. The No. 15-ranked tandem of Moritz Baumann and Marek Michalicka defeated Ishay Hadash and Sebastian Gallego in dramatic fashion, 8-3. Shortly following the win at first doubles, freshman Patrick Pohlmann and junior Luke Rassow-Kantor took down Michael Sicora and Dino Bliankov by a score of 8-2.
Despite the Badgers dominating doubles play, the Golden Gophers responded with back-to-back singles wins at the fifth and sixth positions. Junior Moritz Baumann continued his dominance at the top singles spot, grabbing his 22nd singles win of the season against Ishay Hadash. After another singles win for Minnesota at the fourth singles spot, all eyes turned to freshman Patrick Pohlmann and sophomore Marek Michalicka as the Badgers trailed 3-2.
After opening up his match on a 6-0 tear, Pohlmann dropped the second set to Sebastian Gallego by a score of 6-3. The freshman from Cologne, Germany battled back to take the third set, 6-3. With the match in the hands of Michalicka at second singles, the Wisconsin sophomore faced cramping problems in the third set. Minnesotas Tobias Wernet took advantage of Michalickas health and clinched the match for the Golden Gophers, 5-7, 6-3, 6-4.
The Badgers will finish off the regular season on the road against two Big Ten foes. On Saturday they will travel to No. 61 Penn State followed by a matchup with No. 3 Ohio State on Sunday.

HTC One Max could be announced on October 17
The HTC One Max will undoubtedly be one of HTC's best devices to date, sadly if recent rumours are to be believed, its $800 launch price is more than likely to kill it before it hits the local store shelves. Now a launch date has supposedly leaked.
According to Taiwanese publication, ePrice, the HTC One Max is set to launch globally on October 17 and will retail for just over $800. If the rumoured price is true, then the company is likely to sign their death warrant on October 17, although the HTC One Max might just be a thorn in the back of the likes of Samsung and Nokia, whose phablet devices are set to compete quite a bit with the device. The HTC One Max's main differentiating feature will be its rear fingerprint sensor, similar to the new iPhone 5S's front fingerprint sensor, a feature more than likely making a comeback to the market.
The HTC One Max uses quite the original design, inspired by the smaller, HTC One, and much different from what competitors have in store for us. What do you think? Will you buy the HTC One Max or are you heading for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3?

Born in Denmark in 1968, Jan Grarup has been reporting for more than two decades on conflict around the world, including the Gulf War, the Rwandan genocide, the siege of Sarajevo, and the Palestinian uprising against Israel in 2000. His coverage of the conflict between Palestine and Israel resulted in two series: The Boys of Ramallah, which earned a POYi World Understanding Award in 2002, followed by The Boys from Hebron. His body of work reflects his belief in photojournalism's role as a witness, an historical record, and an instrument of change and of its necessity in telling the stories of people who are powerless to tell their own. Recent photographs include those of the earthquake in Haiti taken for Time and Dagbladet Information.
In November 2011, Grarup joined The New York Times as a staff photographer, covering Africa and the Middle East, especially Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and the Horn of Africa. In late 2011, he photographed the refugee camp in Dadaab, Kenya, and during 2012 traveled extensively in Somalia, producing in-depth reportage on several issues faced by the Somali population.

When it comes to sex education, schools should teach the facts. Teens need to know the risks of having sex. There are many reasons why teens should wait to have sex. But teens also need to understand how to stay safe and protect themselves from disease.
The Problem
Many opponents of choice work to block schools from teaching teens the facts about sex and staying safe.
- Our opponents strongly disapprove of education programs that teach teens about birth control. Instead, they support dangerous "abstinence-only" programs.
- When teens don't learn the facts, their health is at risk. Today, far too many teens face unintended pregnancy or have a sexually transmitted disease.
Our Solution
Our country needs to make fighting teen pregnancy a priority. The federal government and the states should invest more money in sex-education programs that work.
News & Updates
All Teens Need Accurate Sex Ed
Think gay and lesbian teens don't need to know about birth control? Not so. In order to prevent unintended teen pregnancy, all teens need access to comprehensive sex education, including information on birth control. Find out why.
Programs that focus on abstinence-only-until-marriage don't meet California's requirements for comprehensive sex education, a judge ruled.

Problems of Big Cities
Problems of big cities.
A city is a large and stable human settlements, urban area that differs from one country or a village in size, population density, importance, or legal status. The term derives from the analogous Latin civitas Italian cities, and derives from the etymology of civilization. A concise definition of city could be: the concentration of population and functions, with stable structures and one territory. This definition has the advantage of greater flexibility. Is the administrative town of the title belongs to the municipalities who have been formally granted by virtue of its importance and varies according to the legal systems of states.
Image via Wikipedia
Typically, a city consists of residential areas, industrial areas and commercial and administrative sectors, which may also affect a wider geographic area. Most of the area of a city is occupied by the urban fabric (houses, streets, roads), lakes, rivers and parks are often a minority. The word town can be used for a resort town whose population exceeds a given limit or for a location other in the same economic, political or cultural. Although the city is suitable for a reality which includes suburban areas and satellite, the term is not intended to indicate an agglomeration of separate entities or to indicate a larger "metropolitan area" consists of several cities, in which each act as a center for their part.
Image via Wikipedia
There is no general definition of a city in the world, for example in Italy city status is conferred by the head of the state by decree, and when America was colonized, the new inhabitants enthusiastically gave the name "city" to their new settlements, arguing that they would one day become very large. For example, Salt Lake City was a village of 148 souls, who immediately planned a road system and founded Great Salt Lake City. A century and a half later, the village has in fact reached the size of a city.

Back to Nova Singers' Main Page
Hal Schaefer, world-class jazz pianist, has had a rich and eclectic career that has bridged several worlds those of music (from classical to swing and jazz), film and singing. Considered a rising star of progressive jazz in the 1950's, he is an extraordinary pianist with a distinctive musical approach, which combines a lush romanticism with a strong sense of swing.
His journey as a professional pianist began at the age of twelve in his native New York City . While still in his teens, he joined a big band and toured the country, ending up in Los Angeles in the 1940's, in the middle of a progressive jazz scene. He played in bands led by Benny Carter, Harry James, Boyd Raeburn and Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey. Hal became an accompanist for Peggy Lee, Billy Eckstine and other singers, and was befriended by and became the protégé of the great Duke Ellington, who gave him his 21st birthday party.
Later, Hal worked at 20th Century Fox, where his highly specialized, very well compensated but then un-credited work was to compose and arrange film music. There he developed a specialty of teaching actors to sing. Most of these world-famous stars were terrified to sing, he says. Part of my job was to work with them and get them comfortable. During his dozen years at Fox, Hal coached such stars as Susan Hayward, Mitzi Gaynor and Robert Wagner. However, his most noted efforts were produced when he coached Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell in the classic Gentlemen Prefer Blondes . Schaefer arranged the most famous scene in the movie Monroe 's show-stopping version of Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend.
Hal Schaefer also worked on the Warner Brothers production of A Star Is Born with Judy Garland. Although Miss Garland's reputation was one of being extremely temperamental, Hal recalls, Judy was wonderful. She was a consummate artist. She was only interested in quality. She was inventive, fresh and smart.
In 1960, Hal left the restrictive Hollywood studio system and returned to New York where he continued with a variety of stints, including A & R man for the fledgling United Artists record company, creating radio and TV jingles (including a CLEO Award winner), and writing dance arrangements for Broadway shows such as A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum and Foxy . He performed in jazz clubs his home base was Greene Street in SoHo and he also continued to teach singing. One of his students was then 16-year-old Barbra Streisand. Other greats he worked with were Chita Rivera, Rita Moreno and cabaret singer Julie Wilson, whose 1980's career revival he assisted. Schaefer was also a member of the faculty of New York University 's School of Music Vocal Jazz Studies Department for several years.
Hal Schaefar left New York with his beloved wife, Brenda, and finally settled in Ft. Lauderdale in 1993. He was widowed early in 2000, but he continues to teach. Hal emphasizes that he is a singing teacher, not a voice teacher. He seldom sings in public himself, but his ability to coax the best from would-be singers has launched and revived dozens of careers.
There is nothing like singing. I've been playing piano all my life and I would probably die without it. But there is nothing as spiritual as singing. Hal Schaefer

Love this photo, as I am watching my greyhound/ whippet crashed out on my sofa, her usual bed of choice.
Funny! Altho I do have a friend who I introduced to the breed and she's a greyhead Kathy Walsh, thoughts of U <3.
If this isn't doctored these folks need to join Rescuers Anonymous. Maybe their doggies are really having a slumber party? I've noticed that greyhound rescuers are like us feral cat people – they tend to "pack" up and people who hang around usually end up with their own hounds or cats.
Great photo! I think there's room for a few more greyhounds though.
too funny
I love greyhounds. We had three. They all had the best humans they could ever have. They knew we loved them. I will always miss them. They all are with God now and, I hope he understands. they are the best dogs.
lol that's adorable seeing all those dogs crashed out. Perfect title for a perfect photo.
priceless, living the life of Riley!
Too many treats and too much Animal Planet finally added up! At least they didn't try to drive home.
Greyhound slumber party is just too funny for words. Any animal lover will appreciate this one!

branch migration of Holliday structures; repair = RuvA (summary available)
The E. coli 'resolvasome' is an enzymatic complex of 3 proteins - RuvA, RuvB and RuvC - which function together to resolve Holliday junctions formed during the recombinational repair of damaged double strand DNA. The RuvAB complex also plays an important role in the rescue of blocked DNA replication forks via a process known as replication fork reversal [Seigneur98, Baharoglu06].
Overexpressed purified RuvA is tetrameric in solution [Tsaneva92] and binds both single and double strand DNA [Shiba91]. Purified RuvB has a low ATPase activity which is enhanced by RuvA in the presence of DNA [Shiba91, Iwasaki89]. In the presence of ATP, RuvA and RuvB promote branch migration and the dissociation of synthetic Holliday structures [Parsons92] and recombination intermediates made by RecA [Tsaneva92a, Iwasaki92]. RuvC interacts with synthetic Holliday junctions and RecA mediated intermediates in vitro and promotes their resolution by introducing nicks into two homologous strands of the same polarity [Iwasaki91, Connolly91, Shah94, Dunderdale94]. RuvC resolves recombination intermediates at specific sites with the consensus sequence 5'(A/T)TT(G/C)3' [Shah94, Shah97]. RuvC binds its DNA substrate as a dimer [Iwasaki91].
RuvA and RuvB interact in solution as well as at Holliday junctions [Parsons93]. RuvA and RuvB form a complex comprised of a tetramer of RuvA and two hexamers of RuvB [Stasiak94, Rafferty96, Yu97]. RuvB interacts directly with RuvC in an in vitro reconstituted system for the formation and resolution of Holliday junctions [Eggleston97].
Mutations in ruvA, ruvB or ruvC increase sensitivity to UV light, ionizing radiation and mitomycin C [Iwasaki89a, Lloyd84, Otsuji74]. ruvA and ruvB were found to be organized into an SOS-inducible operon but ruvC belongs to an adjacent, non-inducible operon [Benson88, Shinagawa88, Sharples90].

Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON, DC, Sept. 11 -- Although major oil spills do not occur frequently, the federal oil spill liability trust fund should be increased to cover higher cleanup costs, the US Government Accountability Office said in a Sept. 7 report.
"To date, the fund has been able to cover costs from major spills that responsible parties have not paid, but risks remain," GAO said in a report to leaders of the US Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
While the 2006 Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act increased liability limits, the new limit for tank barges "remains low relative to the cost of such spills," said GAO. Similarly, the 1990 Oil Pollution Act (OPA) required that liability limits be adjusted above levels set in the law to reflect increases resulting from inflation, but such changes were not made.
Such inaction during 1990-2006 "potentially shifted an estimated $39 million in costs from responsible parties to the fund," GAO maintained.
The US Coast Guard assumed OPA enforcement responsibilities in 2005. GAO recommended that the Coast Guard determine whether and how OPA liability limits should be changed, by vessel type, and submit those findings to Congress. GAO also suggested that the liability limits for vessels be adjusted every 3 years to reflect inflation changes.
Spills since 1990
Since the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill in Prince William Sound off Alaska, which was the impetus for authorizing the fund's usage, no spill has come close to matching its $2.2 billion in cleanup costs, GAO noted. It estimated that 51 spills costing $1 million or more to clean up have occurred since 1990, requiring $240 million in outlays from the fund and $620-840 million in expenditures from responsible parties.
But payments from the fund could have been reduced by $39 million during that period if liability limits had been adjusted to reflect increases in the Department of Labor's consumer price index, it suggested.
GAO's report said the oil spill liability trust fund also faces other challenges. Additional claims can be made for as long as 3 years after spills have been cleaned up; costs and claims may occur on previously sunken vessels that may discharge oil in the future; spills may occur without an identifiable source (and responsible party); and a spill could be so catastrophic that it strains the fund's resources, the congressional watchdog's analysis suggested.
Responding, Steven J. Pecinovsky, director of the GAO's Inspector Liaison Office in the US Department of Homeland Security, of which the Coast Guard is part, said the service addressed liability limits in a January report to Congress and intends to adjust such limits annually to reflect inflation where appropriate. However, this action alone cannot ensure that the fund will remain viable, given expenses and revenues that GAO mentioned but did not address in detail in its report, Pecinovsky continued.
He said the Coast Guard is adjusting certain OPA liability limits to reflect changes in the consumer price index, and service officials are unaware of any decision to leave limits unchanged, as the report implies.
While the Coast Guard is trying to make financial responsibility certificates consistent with current liability limits, the service cannot predict that a proposed rulemaking notice will be published by the end of 2007, Pecinovsky said. "This remains a goal, and Coast Guard and [DHS] officials are working diligently to this end," he said.

text: Though there is, today, an abundance of information, most individuals and companies have little knowledge of how to use tools that would allow them to fully exploit this information to enhance the efficiency and operation of their businesses. This vast informational resource is generally overlooked by companies, due to their inability to use it, thus losing the potential advantage it could provide in improving the productivity and efficiency of their operations. People use information in different ways, from weather reports to investment in the stock market. Most fundamentally, information enhances the efficiencies of internal processes and provides businesses with knowledge of the markets in which they trade their products or services, as well as information on competition, suppliers, etc., offering a competitive advantage over other firms. Information technology (IT) tends to be regarded as something used only by large manufacturing companies or in automated systems. However, it is, in fact, used in all types of processes: accounting; relationships with suppliers; recruitment; production automation; quality control; marketing, sales and distribution of products, etc. Rapid developments in IT have had a dramatic impact on all operational aspects of organizations, as well as in the specific area of technology. IT encompasses all technology utilizing computers and computer-based communications. Such systems are used for purchasing, storing, handling and transmitting information to people and businesses units, both within and outside a company, allowing businesses the ability to efficiently manage and integrate all of their information-processing needs. This produces important savings in time and money, and facilitates problem solving and decision-making. As a result, IT usage has become a central component of any business wishing to increase its competitiveness. For various economic sectors, particularly those with limited resources and small-scale operations, accessing tools that promote competitive development has been one of the most serious constraints. Thus, it is imperative that companies gain knowledge of these new information technologies, which can be used by small and medium enterprises and can become a tool for development, providing major changes in efficiency and productivity, while creating sustainable growth for the countries involved.
