Biodegradable flushing wipes? Waste management says, think again
By Liz Kotalik. CREATED Jul 18, 2013
That number of overflows, they said, is much less than most of the country because of Pima County's training.
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - So, we have a bit on an issue on our hands, and it starts out pretty innocently.
Labels on flushable wipes tell you you're safe to flush them down the toilet, so you flush them down!
"They do appear to be flushable," John Warner, Deputy Director of Pima County Waste Water Management, told Nine On Your Side, "but that's about where our problems begin."
And those problems end at Pima County Regional Waste Water Reclamation Department.
It's where everything you flush goes, and everything that shouldn't be flushed gets sorted out and sent to landfills.
When we visited the site, white wipes were everywhere, and although there's no telling if the wipes we saw today are flushable, Warner said recently, they've been seeing more and more of those kind of wipes in their systems.
"They're not biodegrading as fast as I think the general public are led to believe."
He said the wipes are getting stuck in the sewers and clogging up pipes.
And when the county put a camera down in their system, they said the wipes could be seen caked on the side of the walls.
"I can't control the marketers," Warner said, "But, I hope someday they listen to our industry."
So, we reached out to Kleenex and Scott brands, and it a statement to Nine On Your Side, they said:
"At Kimberly-Clark our focus is providing essentials for a better life. We've seen several published reports suggesting that a wide variety of products, most of which are not meant to be flushed, may be causing problems with sewage systems in several cities across the country.
Our flushable wipes use a patented disposable technology, which means that when used as directed they break up after flushing and clear properly maintained toilets, drain lines, sewers, pumps and septic and municipal treatment systems.
We test these flushable wipes extensively in the lab and in the field to ensure compatibility with home and municipal waste water conveyance and treatment systems. All Kimberly-Clark products labeled as flushable pass industry guidelines for assessing the flushability of non-woven products.
Our commitment is that if our wipes say they are flushable, then we stand behind that. We want consumers to read the labels on wipes products before they flush — our wipes products are clearly labeled. Don't flush anything that's not clearly labeled as safe for flushing.
We believe our flushable wipes help people feel cleaner and fresher than toilet paper alone, and we're continuing to improve the innovation behind the product. We are committed to helping people understand what's safe to flush and what is not and will continue to work closely with industry groups, local governments and local utilities to ensure accurate information is promoted."
Warner said despite the company's comments, he still believes their products cause problems.
"Biodegradable in someone's terms may not match our terms," Warner said.
The county said flushable wipes have caused about 40 sewage overflows last year, costing around $1,500 of your tax dollars to clean up.
That number of overflows, they said, is much less than most of the country because of Pima County's training.
So, we asked, is there anything safe to flush down the toilet?
Warner said, toilet paper.

I also don't think that serendipity is entirely seredipitous (i also hate that word).
What we do has an origin somewhere. As Kevin mentioned, it may not be a conscious act, but an act (i.e. something that betrays intentionality) it is.
I'm not sure about the appreciation bit.
I think what you might do that would be art can be part of you trying to make sense of the world you live in. As such, it's part of a discovery process you alone are involved in.
No need to share (though us humans can't help oursleves and will anyway), or (more importantly) have others appreciate what we do.
On the other hand, other people confirming what you think you have discovered may be very usefull to help you go on.
Other people disagreeing, i.e. not appreciating what you do will too.

Aiming for world auction record, Ferrari 250 GTO to cross the block with no reserve
1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta, chassis 3851 GT. Photo courtesy Bonhams.
Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinettas, as highly sought after as they may be, tend not to sell at public auction nowadays, instead trading hands privately in more relaxed and confidential settings. But next month, one of the longest-held – if not the longest-held – Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinettas in the world will head to Monterey, where it could set the public auction record for a collector car.
Only 39 Ferrari 250 GTOs (including the Series II variants) were constructed by Ferrari between 1962 and 1964. Built for homologation purposes, the car possessed a rare blend of performance and civility, such that owners could enjoy their 250 GTOs on country roads, on hillclimbs and on race tracks alike. Powered by a 3.0-liter Colombo V-12 fitted with a dry sump oiling system and six 38 DCN Weber carburetors, output was rated at 300 horsepower, and the run from 0-60 MPH was said to take less than six seconds.
Chassis 3851, originally finished in metallic gray, was delivered to French racer Jo Schlesser in September 1962, in time for the running of the 1962 Tour de France Automobile. Schlesser and co-driver Henri Oreiller brought the car home in second place, and reportedly contested for the lead on several occasions throughout the nine-day event. Two weeks later, on October 7, the pair again teamed up for the Coupes du Salon race at Montlhery Autodrome on the outskirts of Paris, and it was Oreiller that took the first stint behind the wheel of the Ferrari.
Oreiller's background was alpine ski racing, and his skill on the slopes had delivered a pair of gold medals and bronze medal for France at the 1948 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland. By 1952, the speed of the downhill was no longer enough to satisfy Oreiller, who turned his attention to racing automobiles. The French Touring champion in 1959, Oreiller proved to be as skilled behind the wheel of a race car as he once was on a mountain, but his luck ran out at the Montlhery Autodrome on that October day. In pursuit of another Ferrari 250 GTO driven by Edgard Berney, Oreiller suffered a rear tire failure at speed, and the resulting rollover accident left Oreiller with grave injuries; despite the best efforts of rescuers, Oreiller died of his injuries on the way to a Paris hospital.
Chassis 3851 GT, badly damaged in the crash, was returned to Ferrari in Maranello for repair. The work was completed in advance of the 1963 racing season, and the car was sold to Paolo Colombo, who achieved a series of victories and class wins with the GTO, competing primarily in hillclimb events. In early 1964, the car was sold to Ernesto Prinoth, who achieved similar results in the hillclimb and track events he contested.

By mid-1965, chassis 3851 was a tired race car, having been driven hard by its previous owners for two full racing seasons. Fabrizio Violati, the son of a successful agricultural family, was the car's next caretaker, paying Prinoth $2.5 million lire (then the equivalent of about $4,000) for the well-used Ferrari GTO. Violati reportedly went to some lengths to keep his purchase a secret from the family, initially enjoying the car only on late-night drives through the Italian countryside.
Violati reportedly enjoyed the car into the 2000s, and 3851 GT was said to be one of the last Ferrari 250 GTOs active on the vintage race circuit. His passion for the Ferrari marque led to a personal relationship with Enzo Ferrari, and in 1984 Violati was asked to form the Ferrari Club Italia, reportedly by Enzo Ferrari himself. In 1989, Violati founded the Maranello Rosso Collection, a museum dedicated to the automobiles of Ferrari and Abarth, and in 2000 the collection moved to a permanent and dedicated facility in Falciano, San Marino. Known to be as friendly and engaging to laborers as he was to titans of industry, Violati died in January 2010 at the age of 74.
Along with the 250 GTO, which will cross the block without a reserve, Bonhams will offer nine other yet-to-be-named cars from the Maranello Rosso Collection at its Quail Lodge sale in August. No pre-auction estimate has been released. In the past three years, only three Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinettas have (likely) traded hands, each in a private sale. Prices are thought to have ranged from the reported £20 million (at the time $31.8 million) paid for chassis 5095 GT in February 2012 to the $35 million paid for chassis 3505 GT in June 2012, to the reported $52 million spent on chassis 5111 GT last October. The current absolute auction record stands at $29.65 million paid for Fangio's Mercedes-Benz W196 in 2013; the auction record for a Ferrari stands at $27.5 million paid for a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4*S N.A.R.T. Spider, also in 2013.
Bonham's Quail Lodge sale will take place August 14-15 at the Quail Lodge and Golf Club in Carmel, California. For additional information, visit Bonhams.com.
UPDATE (23.July): The 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta will be one of 10 cars offered from the Maranello Rosso Collection, all of which will cross the block on Thursday, August 14. Other Ferraris from the collection include a 1950 250 MM Berlinetta; a 1969 Dino 206 GT Coupe; a 1968 365 GTC Coupe; a 1978 312 T3 Formula 1 single-seater; a 1958 250 GT Series 1 Pinin Farina Cabriolet; a 1968 Dino 166/246T Formula 2/Tasman racing single-seater; a 1981 512 BB/LM Endurance Racing Coupe; a 1970 365 GTB/4 Daytona uprated to Competition Specification; and a 1962 250 GT SWB Speciale Aerodinamica.

Closet Design for North Jersey Residents
Great Closet Design for a Better Relationship
Start every morning happy.
We don't all enjoy waking up in the morning. You might be grumpy, he might be running late. And getting dressed is not something you want to stress out over -- not at this hour! So why not make the getting dressed part an enjoyable experience? With good closet design, all of the items that both of you need will be easily accessible -- and you won't have to trip over each other to get it. Begin every morning utilizing a closet design that makes you feel good.
Clear division.
What? Your shoes are taking over more than half the closet? Assuming he's not just exaggerating... that's just not fair. Nor should his nappy gym sweatshirts be encroaching over onto your collection of high end cashmeres. That's more than just unfair -- that's a crime! Good closet design from a California Closets North Jersey specialist will ensure that these crossovers don't happen where and when you don't want them to. They'll also work with you to understand where it's okay to share space -- and possibly even clothing items!
Taking stock.
One of the biggest complaints that people have when living together is that the other person has "so much stuff." But volume is a tricky thing. An overstuffed, disorganized closet gives the appearance of being too full, when in reality, the number of commonly used items is very little. Closet design should give you a good glimpse into closet inventory, which will allow each member of a shared closet to keep track of their belongings and know when it's time to give away or dispose of something. There are other advantages of visibility as well. If you know at a glance which clean shirts he has, you can make off-the-cuff suggestions as to shirt choices for an evening out, without having to think about a backup option. And if he knows that most of your clothing is black, he'll be less likely to buy you a loud orange tunic for your birthday. (Loud orange earrings are of course fair game!)

Medical Devices are regulated in the EU under 3 New Approach Directives. (A fourth tissue products directive will follow shortly.)
EU Directives need to be transposed into law by national governments; this process is rarely complete and leads to differences of interpretation between the various states of the European Union.
The concept of New Approach directives is that there are some basic verities, called Essential Requirements, ER's, about all products falling within the scope of the directive: if these are satisfied then the device is fit to be marketed in Europe. The various directives specify these Essential Requirements but deviate slightly from the true New Approach concept by classifying products according to risk and applying an increasing requirement for third-party verification as the risk-class increases.
Each member state of the EU will specify a Competent Authority, CA to enact the directive. Each CA can specify one or more Notified Bodies, NB, to act as third party assors of the firms compliance. A NB may be Notified for all products under the particular directive or only a sub-set of them. There is no requirement on a CA to appoint a NB within their borders, let alone one for every device type under any particular directive.
There are many directives in the EU. Compliance with one directive may automatically deem the product to be compliant with another, or it may not! Some other important directives for the Medical Device Industry are:
Remember the Machinery Directive will apply to production/process equipment transfered to the EU if it fulfills the definition of a machine. Note: No Sale is necessary!
Easy? Well maybe not easy, but it is reasonably straight forward .... ah, but people have fallen at every step! There are a lot of possibilities and many routes, the objective is to find the best one for your business - and that's where MeddiQuest can help: We'll tell you the options, the implications and let you decide!

Intense, ongoing pain in one joint, usually the big toe, that seems to have come on for no reason.
Hot, red swollen skin and a feeling of pressure around the painful area. There may also be the feeling that the skin around the area is stretching or tearing.
The onset of gout is usually quick and unexpected. Often, people who develop gout will do so during the night while sleeping, after having gone to bed in good health. During the night, they are awakened by acute pain in the big toe or, more rarely, in the heel, ankle or instep. This pain has been described as feeling at first like a bucket of cold water has been poured over the affected area, with the pain increasing to a violent stretching, tearing sensation. There is also a pressure and tightness around the area, and the pain becomes so acute that not even the weight of a bed sheet can be tolerated. The soft tissues, such as the muscles and tendons, around the joint can become hot, red and swollen, and wearing of a regular shoe may become impossible.
Joints Affected
Gout typically affects the joint at the base of the big toe. In over half of all initial attacks, this is the first joint affected. Almost any other joint can be affected, but the joints of the lower limbs are more commonly than those of the upper limbs.
The majority of initial gout attacks involve only one joint, and, with treatment, subside within three to ten days. Over 50% of people who have had an acute attack of gout will have a recurrence within the year. Over time the attacks may become more frequent, longer lasting and often involve more joints.
For some people the attacks linger, and the disease becomes chronic. The crystals of uric acid deposited inside the joint and in the surrounding soft tissues lead to destructive changes in the joint and cause persistent inflammation.
Non-Joint Involvement
Uric acid crystals can be deposited in soft tissues and form what are known as 'tophi.' These appear as whitish or yellowish deposits under the skin. They cause local irritation of the soft tissues, leading to redness of the area. Sometimes the deposits can break through the skin. Tophi may occur at any site but commonly occur in the fingers or toes, at the backs of the elbows, behind the heels, or around the outer edges of the ears. Uric acid crystals can also form deposits in the kidney or urinary tract.

The Asia Society has named Thai protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban as its Person of the Year for 2013.
"Thai politician Suthep Thaugsuban dominated our year-end reader poll for Asia's Person of the Year 2013 -- in dramatic, come-from-behind fashion," the US-based group said on its website.
Mr Suthep finished ahead of Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani girl whose fight for education rights nearly cost her her life at the hands of Taliban thugs. He earned 116,000 votes, or nearly 88% of the total.
The online reader poll is not scientific and the society even acknowledged that ballot-stuffing is possible.
"During the first two days of the year, our poll page received more than 172,000 page views," it said. "Nearly 165,000 of those visits originated in Thailand. Most of the traffic came from Facebook and a handful of Thai message boards. At one point, [Suthep] had around 97% of the total vote."
Campaigning to uproot the influence of Thaksin Shinawatra, his family and associates from Thai politics, Mr Suthep has massed some of the largest demonstrations ever seen in Bangkok, prompting the dissolution of parliament and a snap election on Feb 2.
Suthep has called for a "Bangkok shutdown" campaign starting on Monday to force caretaker premier Yingluck Shinawatra to resign to pave the way for his political reform agenda.
The Asia Society is a non-governmental organisation dedicated to educating the world about Asia.

SkyFire vs HTML5 mode
One of the drawbacks of Flash video so far was that iPhone and iPad couldn't play it. SkyFire, an application on top of Safari lets you view Flash video on iPhone and iPad.
How it exactly works can be found in the video below created by the folks of SkyFire themselves:
More on the subject can be found in this article: Skyfire Brings Flash Video To The iPad (And Sells Out)
However, Skyfire has its problems. Several customers complained about erratic behavior, so it is clear that solutions like this are not perfect.
How about HTML5 support?
A lot happened in recent months. Slowly, HTML5 is picking up and thanks to the efforts of Longtailvideo, some features typically for Flash are being supported now. HTML5 compatible skins do no longer prevent media from playing on Apple iOS devices. Playlists and post images are possible now. Streaming is still a problem, but this might change in the future.
Here is the current state of affairs: The State of HTML5 Video Report. It is update regularly, so you might want to bookmark the article.

Venturan receives Artist of Distinction award
Ventura artist Hiroko Yoshimoto has been awarded the Artist of Distinction honor from Westside Artwalk for her body of work and contributions to the community.
She was selected by a special committee of Westside Artwalk, making her the first recipient.
The group wanted to recognize local artists who have outstanding artwork and service to the arts.
Mary Perez, committee co-chair of Westside Artwalk, said Yoshimoto was chosen for her consistent involvement with the community for close to 20 years and for her distinguished body of work.
"I am honored and surprised," Yoshimoto said. "I'm happy to be part of the Artwalk."
Her involvement with the community includes curating many exhibitions of other artists, and she is a founding member of Studio 83 and Ventura College Friends of the Arts, a scholarship fundraising organization.
"I like to be part of art activities and be involved with artists and organizations," she said.
The Ventura artist has been painting for more than 30 years, including two- and three dimensional paintings, abstract works and oil paintings, "depending on what the concept calls for," she said.
Her work includes a series of paintings that have earned her many awards. She has had many solo and group exhibitions in different museums.
She has been a member of the Museum of Ventura County Fine Arts Committee since 2006 and is currently a studio art teacher at Ventura College.
One of her major accomplishments is the series of "Four Seasons" — paintings that depict four generations of her family, including her niece, sister, great aunt and her mother.
She said she did this piece to represent the contributions of women in society.
The artist also has dealt with a lot of garden themes, including her most recent piece titled "Backyard Peace and Happiness," in which she painted her dog in her backyard. It will be on display for July at the Vita Art Center as part of her Artist of Distinction award. The center is in the Bell Arts Factory, 432 N. Ventura Ave., Studio 30, Ventura.
"I'm happy to see new events and seeing Westside Artwalk continue the tradition of Artwalk. I hope it continues," she said.
Westside Artwalk is July 23-24 in downtown Ventura.

OGJ Senior Staff Writer
HOUSTON, Nov. 10 -- El Paso Corp. plans to spud a well during November in its Wolfcamp shale oil acreage in West Texas as part of a one-rig program focused on finding the optimal lateral length and completion method before the company ramps up Wolfcamp drilling activity during 2011.
Speaking during a Nov. 3 third-quarter earnings conference call, El Paso executives said they expect Wolfcamp will become an oil-focused core area. El Paso acquired University of Texas leases on 135,000 net acres in Reagan, Crockett, Upton, and Irion counties (OGJ Online, Sept. 23, 2010).
While considering its bid on the acreage, El Paso drilled a pilot well in Crockett County, a spokesman said. In addition, El Paso studied thousands of well logs across a 13-county area.
The combination of large contiguous blocks and a single royalty owner in West Texas provides "flexibility in the length of the lateral," said Brent Smolik, president of El Paso E&P Co. LP. The acreage where El Paso has identified 600 potential horizontal well sites is surrounded by 300 vertical wells.
The area already is dense with vertical well production and associated infrastructure, Smolik said. Early Wolfcamp horizontal results are encouraging, he said.
Smolik said it's too early to determine lateral length or how many frac stages might be needed for a typical well in the well. A slide in the company's Wolfcamp presentation said El Paso is assuming 4,000-6,000 ft laterals and 12-20 frac stages/well. The company initially plans 160-acre well spacing.
"We're dealing with a known reservoir, not just a known source rock, Smolik said of the Wolfcamp play, where El Paso expects to directly apply shale expertise that it learned in the Eagle Ford and Haynesville plays.
The company expects to top Wolfcamp at 5,800-7,500 ft and encounter 400-850 ft of net thickness.
El Paso said its Wolfcamp acreage has total organic carbon of 4-15% compared with its Eagle Ford TOC of 2-6%. El Paso's Wolfcamp acreage has 7-15% porosity compared with its Eagle Ford's 6-14% porosity. Wolfcamp has 24% clay compared with 30-40% clay in the Bakken, Haynesville, and Marcellus, the company said.
In its Eagle Ford shale oil and gas play in South Texas, El Paso has nine wells producing and six wells awaiting completion. It plans to operate three to six Eagle Ford rigs during 2011, Smolik said. In the Haynesville shale play, El Paso has net production of 170 MMcfd, he said.

Need your Help- Hesitation/Miss Issues
Got a problem on my hands... My 01 7.3 w/160k started jacking with me again yesterday. While driving, all was well, sudden miss began happening. I got 'service engine soon' , 'wait to start' and 'water in fuel' lights all at once as the motor basically died, then picked back up. The miss is only for a couple seconds at the longest.Like a fuel cut off or complete electrical shut off for a second or two.
I thought being winter and pretty cold here for the last few days, that I may have water, so I drained the bowl, went on about my way. But it happened a few more times. Bought a new filter on the way home, Drained bowel fuel into dry glass jar,, no floaties or water, pulled old one, no water visible in the bowel. Installed new filter, same things happens.
It may only do this once in a few miles under all conditions, idle - cruise and under load.
I did try and search this issue before posting. I see people talk about IPR, CPS but no same issues as I have and no real feedback on the solution to the other folks problems. I had the CPS recall and that was changed out at Ford 8 months ago. Not sure which one they installed, gray or black one....
I do not have a scanner, but will try and get to a shop and have the truck scanned today.
Any feedback would greatly be appreciated guys ! ! !
Thanks, RB
I found this on Guzzle's website..... hopefully I can find a CPS he references locally and solve the problem.
Maybe someone else can use this info as well..... RB
Pasted From Guzzle's --------
The CPS (Camshaft Position Sensor) is one of the weakest links on the Ford 7.3 Powerstroke engines. The sensor has a high failure rate and common symptoms include having the engine die while driving as if you turned the key off just to have the driver pull over and restart without any problems; periodic 'hiccupping' of the engine; complete failure of the CPS can kill the engine and will not let it restart.
Well,, Installed a new CPS yesterday, truck ran fine, no issues. Dang thing did it again a while ago at lunch..... Any ideas before I have to pay for a shop scan on this thing ?
Thanks, RB
60 views and ZERO help,,, what the heck does it take on here to get some input to these friggin ford problems ? ?
My CPS was also going out, so i replaced it last Thursday. Truck ran fine all day, then I was headed to a funeral on Friday and upon accelerating it hiccuped again. I suspected the CPS. Drove all the way to abilene from DFW, no problems, and then leaving my aunts house headed home and truck completely stalled while going down the road. It would turn over, but no fire. I unplugged the CPS and replugged it in, and it tried to crank once.
Apparently you CAN put too much di-electric grease on the electrical connector to the CPS...
I pulled off the plug, hit it with some PB blaster, also sprayed inside the CPS connector, plugged it back in and truck cranked right up and ran fine all the way home. Started fine this morning, and been running fine ever since.
I don't know if you did the same thing, but that's what worked for me.
Thanks. My old gray CPS had no di-electric grease on it when i pulled it out. I installed the new gray CPS I did not lube it. Still had the issues. I put a small amount of di-electic grease on the new CPS yesterday evening, still had hiccups.
I pulled the ICP connector away fro the ICP sensor, and found the entire fitting filled with motor oil... I think this is it,,, cleaned out sensor and the connector with contact cleaner, same issues with hickup.
I do not believe that the ICP was filled with a mere misting from perhaps the CCV as my motor bay is typically very clear of oil mists.
Is it possible for the ICP sealing capibilities to fail and allow oil to seep up thru it into the connector ? ? .................This is driving me nukkin futs.... ! ................
Just dumped a new BTS in her and can't afford to keep tossing money at it. I am trying to find someone locally that can scan it for me today...
Appreciate it......Russ
Both the ICP and CPS should be completely sealed units, my faulty CPS did have oil inside the connector itself when I pulled the plug out.
I would assume the ICP should be the same, so if you have oil inside the connector, very probable that it is faulty as well.
Im not 100% sure of this, but it makes sense.
Here's a writeup on a similar subject. Sounds like it could be your problem.

Apparently my truck is now stalling, no hiccups or misses, it just is driving down the road and shuts off.
I did notice that I bought the Borg Warner replacement CPS which is the grey colored one. I recently heard the grey one has problems. If I pull of the electrical connector to the CPS, hit it with some PB blaster and reinstall the connector, the truck will start right up.
So I am now beleiving what I am hearing. So questions is, where do I get the black CPS, from Ford house?
Thanks for that link to the bad sensor symptoms...... Looks like a new ICP is in order. I'll get the scan anyway to make sure..
During the Ford recall, they replaced my stock CPS with a gray one. The local International dealer had the gray one in stock. I have heard of the dark gray ones and the infamous black one.
I think Diesel O-rings has some black ones left.
edited part ---- just spoke to Bob, it will be a few days before he can get new Black CPS's out the door, he has them, but not in hand, he has to get them from storage which apparently is not local.....
Last edited by XR-2001; 01-17-2011 at 11:44 AM. Reason: added info on CPS
Well, a scanning is in my near future I reckon............ changed out the ICP,, truck does 85% better,,, still has the slight hesitation like before but now there are no idiot lights coming on when she stumbles.
Gonna swing by and have her scanned toady after work hopefully..

Judge refuses to drop 2 claims against the Pittsburgh Zoo in lawsuit over boy's mauling death
An attorney for the parents of a young boy who died at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium said he soon will ask the zoo for documents and begin deposing zoo employees to press the family's lawsuit.
Philadelphia attorney Robert Mongeluzzi, representing Elizabeth and Jason Derkosh of Whitehall, said he wants to depose employees to "ask them questions of what they knew and when they knew it."
Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge Paul F. Lutty Jr. ruled Tuesday that their lawsuit can proceed almost entirely according to the complaint the Derkoshes filed nearly three months ago.
They sued on May 23 in the case of their son, Maddox, 2, who was mauled to death when he fell into an exhibit of African painted dogs on Nov. 4. They argue the zoo was negligent and should be held responsible for the harm done by the dogs.
Attorneys for the zoo wanted Lutty to strike two legal arguments from the lawsuit.
At the request of Daniel L. Rivetti, one of three Pittsburgh-based attorneys representing the zoo, Lutty agreed to remove from the complaint photographs depicting similar exhibits from zoos around the country. Rivetti argued their inclusion would be "highly prejudicial" because the evidence has not been properly authenticated or identified.
But the judge refused Rivetti's request to remove from the 41-page lawsuit the legal concepts of punitive damage and strict liability, two prongs that would hold the zoo accountable for Maddox's death.
Mongeluzzi said he considers Lutty's decision to allow the case to proceed as a "win," adding that he will attempt to submit the photographs later.
Maddox slipped from his mother's grasp, tumbled into the dog exhibit and was mauled. Authorities did not file criminal charges, but attorneys for the Derkoshes said the zoo "blatantly ignored" a worker's warning about safety problems with the exhibit.
The zoo removed the observation deck from which Maddox fell and replaced it with a tall fence. The zoo moved the dogs to other zoos and in June reopened the exhibit with a cheetah on display.

Taiwan Stock Exchange is promoting foreign listings
Taiwan Stock Exchange is promoting foreign listings
The Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) is striving to guide and promote international listings. For instance, TWSE, GreTai Securities Market and the Taiwan Trade Center in San Francisco jointly hosted an event for potential issuers. One theme was 'Ideal partner in Asia', a forum held in Silicon Valley on 21 July 2009. There were over 200 attendees, such as senior executives of high-tech companies, venture capitalist, financial experts, certified public accountants and lawyers.
TWSE has already held many similar overseas symposia on promoting foreign high-quality companies' listings and visited many other entities run by Taiwanese entrepreneurs. Up to July 2009, there have been 18 foreign companies which have signed the counseling contract with underwriters, and 2 foreign companies have issued TDRs in TWSE.
Taiwan Stock Exchange is looking for more high-quality foreign companies to take advantage of the capital market and quality services for listing.

Archive for the 'Maserati Merak' tag
Maserati vs Citroen on the cover. What could possibly go wrong, besides everything?
Note: For the 100th issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car, editor David LaChance asked the magazine's writers and shooters to recall a memorable shoot or story. Deemed too long for print, this peek behind the scenes is now a Hemmings.com exclusive.
It was the one where nothing turned out the way I had meant it to. It was the one where things ended up better than they had a right to.
Comparison drives, I feel, are the truest measure of a car – take two machines that are aimed at the same market and pit them against each other, so that you can really feel the differences between them. (Plus, on an incredibly selfish note, I suspect that comparisons are more likely to make the cover, as the odds of getting someone to like the car on the cover roughly double when you slap a second car on there.) For years, I've been nursing a list of comparison pieces I'd wanted to do – the list runs two single-spaced pages long and hinges entirely on finding cars that I, admittedly, don't see that often. (Hence the reason why so few of my orchestrated comparisons appear in the magazine these days.)
One comparison idea that had been hovering near the top of my list was comparing a Maserati Merak to a Citroën SM. I thought that it would be fascinating to look closely at two completely different cars, that nevertheless share many similar components, and see whether they could feel really different. I had driven neither, ever, and so had formed no impressions ahead of time.
The idea was kickstarted one afternoon in September 2010 on my way back from lunch. As I'm waiting to turn left at a light, a dark blue SM glides by in front of me. It looks clean, and by God, it's running. It's not the sort of thing you often see in Phoenix; I take it as a sign. Once my light goes green, I cane my Dodge Grand Caravan into pursuit and track it to a local high school, where I meet the teenage student owner, William Titus, and learn more about his family's collection of SMs and DSs. I make the appropriate noises and we keep in touch.
My next stroke of luck came when looking for the Maserati. We've covered cars from Californian Doug Magnon's extensive Maserati collection in our pages, and because Maseratis are a little thin on the ground here in Phoenix, I shot him an email. He didn't know of any Meraks in the Phoenix area, but quickly offered up his own freshly restored deep blue Euro-bumpered Merak, the first Merak on American shores in 1973, as well as suggested a meeting at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway in Desert Center, California, a spot that was roughly halfway between the Citroën crew in Phoenix and Magnon's own digs in Riverside, California. It didn't hurt, either, that Gagnon has a membership at the Chuckwalla track. The idea was that we'd have our run of the place on an off-day, and I'd be able to drive both cars at something approaching their limits without fear of freaking out other people on the highway. Things coalesced brilliantly. We scheduled a time late in a week when William, now in college, had a couple of days free in his schedule.
Almost immediately upon this happening, things went awry. William's blue SM, an automatic, went away to college with him and ended up getting keyed in a parking lot. That left his father's two SMs, a gold one and a brown one. The gold car was automatic and immaculate, with a fresh engine rebuild; the brown one was a five-speed that was still lovely, but wasn't quite as factory-fresh looking. Also, it was brown.
Both went with us as we caravanned out to Chuckwalla that day, and while I had been planning on shooting the gold one, because gold and blue would have looked great together, having like-for-like with the Merak was more important for the story, so the brown five-speed got the photo nod. At the same time, the blue Merak was misbehaving just before the shoot, and so the reliable white one came out. So in the space of a week, I went from shooting fresh gold and blue cars to clean-enough brown and white ones. As a bonus, the November morning offered thick cloud cover that helped ensure that the brown SM was going to die, visually. My heart sank.
I also had the opportunity to drive the better part of an hour on Interstate 10 in an SM; generally, my driving impressions are gathered over a space of about 10 minutes at the end of a shoot. Photos come first. So spending the better part of an hour driving and getting to know the SM was unprecedented for me. (I had a photo assistant with me that day – someone who had fetishized the SM since he had a Matchbox version as a child – and the elder Titus was generous enough to give him a spin behind the wheel as well. Words could not convey his joy as a life-long dream was realized, and my assistant for the day silently figured whether he could refinance his home mortgage to buy one.) My experience behind the wheel, chronicled in the story itself, was tempered only by my low-level panic at how everything was going to look through the lens.
The desert sun broke through the clouds at around noontime, nearly burning them clean off. Helpful? Not necessarily so: We shoot details in even light to prevent hotspots and high contrast areas, and waiting for the sun to arc around so that we had enough shadow to do what we needed to do was taking rather longer than we'd hoped. One more hour of clouds could have made my life much easier. Another hilarious bonus: There was some track activity running clear through to dusk the day we were there, and the actual racetrack itself was off-limits to us – but we could have this rutted light-aircraft runway instead. Sigh.
Atop all of this, we had an unexpected guest: the cleanest unrestored Citroën DS Safari I'd ever seen. The owner, a friend of SM owner John Titus, was coming from his home in LA to watch the fun, and had met Magnon and his Merak at a gas station en route quite by accident. They followed each other in. I made an executive decision: I needed to shoot the Safari that day. It was too perfect not to, and when would the opportunity come again? The Safari hasn't run yet in our pages, so we won't say much about it here except to say that timing gets tricky when you have to shoot three cars in an afternoon instead of two. When everything demands just the right lighting conditions, there's only so much you can shoot and make it look good; two cars is generally my limit.
I had been tasked with getting action on the SM and Merak together, which would only happen with me up high. Could be a cover, I was told. In the late afternoon, as the sun was sinking, I balanced on the corner of the roof of my Grand Caravan, rolling along at 15 MPH. John and Doug kept pace. I fiddle-farted around with this setup for the better part of 45 minutes. All for naught: not a single shot was deemed worthy of even including in the body copy. Mercifully, the individual action shots (one shot out the back of my van, one out the back of the Safari) were deemed usable. If the Maserati shot seems speedier somehow, it's because the back of the Safari was vastly smoother than my own van, allowing me to slow down the camera that extra fraction of a second to allow more blur.
So, to sum the day up to this point: I drove almost 200 miles to shoot and drive two cars, in dull-ish colors I hadn't planned for, under murky skies that weren't going to put either car in its best light, to a track that wouldn't let us run. The hour I spent shooting action for the cover didn't coalesce. And on top of that, I decided to shoot a third car, when shooting only two would have allowed me to comfortably work within my limits. Good times.
In truth, it could have been worse. I've halted things mid-shoot when cars have stopped working for no apparent reason, or the weather turned to rain in a flash, or when I popped the hood and found that the engine isn't nearly as clean as the body. Both cars were clean and ran impeccably all day, and the owners didn't utter a grumble (within my earshot, anyway) when asked to stand around and do nothing for long periods of time. Their patience and perseverance greatly helped things turn out as well as they eventually did.
Late in the afternoon, a couple of things clicked. First was just in my own head: It occurred to me that the streaky gray airplane runway we were allowed to use in lieu of the track, disappearing into the distance and ending at a distant mountain range, made for a compelling background. That meant that visually, we wouldn't need the track – I just needed to come far enough down the runway that we couldn't see it, or the Skittles-esque race-prepped machines that circulated it. Second, a couple of wispy clouds floated overhead at sunset. Rather than block or diffuse my light, the clouds reflected it; the sunset bounced off their undersides to cast a warm, pinkish-orange glow over the runway for half an hour while I set the two cars up and shot like mad. The white Maserati became warm and creamy, while the brown on the SM became far less murky than it had at any point during the day, with just a hint of purple straining to break through. Throwing the parking lights on for a spot of color (as is my habit) was one thing, but I will leave it a secret as to how we got the SM and its notoriously self-centering DIRAVI steering to pose with its wheel cranked hard right. (Hint: unlike the Maserati's disappearing front license plate, it wasn't PhotoShop.)
And it worked. Or did it? "Seventies Supercars" blared the February 2012 coverline. My concept, my struggle, my execution. And, once secret and now public, my heartbreak. In a market where we do pretty well with cars people recognize (MGs, Porsche 911s, Datsun Zs and the like) a Maserati and a Citroën didn't exactly light our newsstand sales on fire; below average, I'm told, a full two percentage points below the February 2013 cover. And the story? The two cars shared parentage and mechanicals, but their personalities offered no other commonalities. I took eight pages to explain how two cars, designed to be so very different, were so very different. I remain proud of the result, but shall always wonder how things might have been different had any one element been altered.
Auction Preview: Auctions America at Carlisle
Dudes! Time to pull your old stone-washed jean jacket out of the closet, grab your Bon Jovi cassettes and head on down to Spring Carlisle in time to watch Auctions America by RM run this third-gen 1983 Chevy Camaro convertible across their auction block at the Carlisle Expo Center (across the street from Gate 3 by a block and a half). Although the Spring Carlisle swap meet opens on April 27, the auction runs from April 28-30; lots begin crossing the block at three in the afternoon (four on Saturday). As for this Camaro, it is one of the GM-authorized convertible conversions accomplished by Autoform; the seller claims one repaint and an odometer reading of 50,000 miles.
With the spring sale expanded this year to three days, there's bound to be something for everyone's taste. A quick scan through their early online catalog revealed an ample number of trucks, including the 1976 Ford F100 (pictured below), listed as containing a 302-cu.in. V-8 engine and an automatic transmission that pushed the truck to just – get this – 1,200 claimed miles; it's also touted as being in completely original condition. For those who prefer something a little more vintage, there's a 1923 Cadillac (Type 61 Victoria, by the looks of it), which the seller claims to be in original condition and one of two extant. For those who yearn for European flair, we also discovered a 1974 Maserati Merak; details were lacking at post time.
We'll be in town to cover all the action – look for coverage in upcoming issues of Hemmings Motor News, Hemmings Muscle Machines and Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car.

Obamacare Forces Employee Hours to Be Cut at Indiana Schools
12:02 PM, Jun 10, 2013 • By DANIEL HALPER
Obamacare regulations are forcing employers to cut employee hours at Indiana schools, according to the Courier-Journal.
"Schools across Indiana are cutting back the hours of teacher assistants, bus drivers, cafeteria workers and other aides to avoid having to offer them health insurance under the federal health care employer mandate that begins next year," reports the paper.

Community comes together to help longtime Oxnard festival organizer
Mariachi festival organizer in need
Bobby Ramirez started Oxnard's annual mariachi festival to raise money for education, helping raise more than $150,000 over 14 years.
The former cement contractor has fallen on tough times, however, so the locals he helped in the past are hosting a mariachi event Saturday to aid him.
"I realize that thousands of people in the country are losing their homes, but those thousands of people have not given to the community like he has," said event organizer Jesse Ramirez, who is not related to Bobby Ramirez. "Let's use music to help him now."
Proceeds from Saturday's event will go to help Bobby Ramirez save his home from foreclosure and care for his special-needs son.
"I told them I don't really like the idea of doing a fundraiser for me, but I'm kind of desperate, so I agreed to do it," he said. "I need to get my home out of default."
Jesse Ramirez is hoping to raise $10,000, because that amount will allow Bobby Ramirez to get his mortgage out of default and prevent foreclosure, he said.
Ramirez fell behind on his mortgage payments when medical bills for his wife's cancer treatment began piling up. His wife, Sally Ramirez, succumbed to the effects of lung cancer last May, after a five-year fight that drained the couple's savings.
Bobby Ramirez is in danger of losing his home in Pinon Hills, where he moved in 2006 at his wife's request. The home is equipped for his special-needs son, Brian, who suffered brain damage after being hit by a car when he was 5. Ramirez cares full-time for Brian, who is now 51, with the help of his other son, Isaac.
"He needs to be showered and shaved everyday and I make his meals and make sure he takes his medication," Ramirez said. "I promised my wife I wouldn't put him in a home (for developmentally disabled adults)."
Ramirez, 76, grew up listening to mariachi music and began organizing events celebrating the Mexican style of music in 1969.
The first gathering drew 180 people and raised about $500 for Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish School in Oxnard.
On a volunteer basis, Ramirez organized annual mariachi tardeadas and donated at least $1,000 each year to Oxnard schools and the Future Leaders of America, a local Latino group that provides educational opportunities for youths.
In 1991, Ramirez founded the Mariachi Festival, which still occurs every Mother's Day weekend at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center. He organized the festival until 2005.
Ramirez estimates that he donated more than $180,000 to local educational groups and schools during the 36 years he organized the various events. "I did it for the challenge, just to see if I could," he said.
"I was earning enough money as a cement contractor to support myself and so I decided to help the community. And now the community is helping me."
Bobby's Tardeada, a Spanish term for an afternoon event, will be held from 1- 7 p.m. at Casa Lopez restaurant, 325 S. A St. in Oxnard. The event features mariachi music by Bolero Soul, Mariachi International De Mexico de Francisco J. Jara and the local Amigo Band.
Tickets to the concert cost $37.50 per person and include a dinner of enchiladas, fajitas, rice and beans.

Christmas trees are popping up in department stores and credit card offers are popping into your mailbox, too.
'Tis almost the season for holiday shopping, but if you're thinking of taking advantage of a new credit card offer, there are important steps to consider before opening or closing an account.
Paying with plastic seems to be the American way.
The latest Federal Reserve statistics show more than 176 million of us are using them every day.
In fact, the average American has at least three credit cards in their wallet right now.
The question is, do you need another?
"Let's say you get a little flyer in the mail 'apply now, rates as low as 9.9 percent.' Now it doesn't mean, just because the envelope has your name on it, doesn't mean you're getting 9.99 percent. It's based upon credit approval," said Greg McBride, of Bankrate.com.
McBride says you probably won't know the real annual percentage rate or credit limit until you actually get the card in the mail.
So if those terms aren't what you expected or are less than advertised, and you decide not to use the card the next step is crucial.
"A lot of people tend to think that if they don't pull the sticker off and call that 800 number to activate the new card no one will ever know they have it. That's not the case," said McBride.
You actually need to cancel the card.
Start by calling the company, then follow up with a snail mail letter documenting the day the account was closed.
Send the letter, certified with a return receipt, to verify delivery. And specify in your letter that the account is being closed at the consumer's request.
"That tells other creditors that you were the one who decided to close that account and that the creditor didn't decide based on poor payment habits by you," said McBride.
Another important thing to remember about applying for a credit card is that it can have a negative impact on your credit score and that can affect the interest rate you get on car loan or mortgage.
Every credit inquiry impacts your credit score for a year and stays on your credit report for two years.
Don't be surprised if after closing an account you continue to get statements.
Experts say you should always check them for any fees that may be inadvertently tacked on.

Trying to put everything you know about something into your next speech is one of the most common presentation mistakes you can make. Instead, figure out what your audience wants most and save the rest for next time or never.
If you've been asked to speak to a group of people, it's because someone believes that you know something about a topic that's useful to them. Whether it's a five minute speech on how to use the office coffee maker, a thirty-minute summary of the company's financials for last quarter, or an all-day seminar on knitting, the chances are good that you know more about your subject than will fit into your allotted time. While at first this may seem daunting it's actually a blessing.
You know a lot about your topic because it interests you. You can't get enough of it. You love it. And that's good. But trying to say everything you know about a topic in one presentation isn't just impossible, it's not helpful to your audience.
Just the good stuff.
Instead of succumbing to the temptation to tell your audience every little detail, you need to decide on the main ideas you want to get across. The number of main ideas will vary for each speech you give based on the length of time you have to speak and the complexity of the ideas you want to cover. You might have time for 10 points or you may only have time for one or two. But deciding up front which ideas are most important to your audience will help you decide what facts, figures, and stories stay or go.
Just enough to convince them.
Once you have your main ideas in place, only add enough supporting information or celebrity news evidence to make the case. You probably could go on all day about why each point in your speech is a good idea. But once you've convinced your audience, you should stop talking about it and move on. Saying more may lead your audience to stop listening, and could even undermine your credibility. Giving too much evidence can actually make you seem defensive, like you might be hiding something.
Feeling the need to say everything can be daunting, and knowing that you can't fit everything you know into any speech ever can actually be comforting. No one expects to hear everything you know, and frankly, no one wants or is able to hear it all at once anyway. By taking the time to organize and edit your thoughts into an order and size your audience can handle, you'll save yourself a lot of mental anguish. And your audience will appreciate it as well.

Soros Fellowships Awarded to Three YLS Students
Since the program's inception in 1997, 71 Fellowships have been awarded to Yale University students. Of those 71 Fellows, 53 have been JD students at Yale Law School, according to the Paul and Daisy Soros Foundation.
Each award recipient must have "demonstrated creativity, originality, and initiative in one or more aspects of her or his life," as well as "a commitment to and capacity for accomplishment that has required drive and sustained effort." In addition, they must have shown a commitment to the values expressed in the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Born in New Jersey, Sundeep Iyer '16 is the son of Indian immigrants. His parents came to America in the 1970s, leaving behind families that they felt duty-bound to support. Through their example, Iyer learned the moral value of helping others. Democratic ideals excited Iyer from an early age. Proud of the American system, he nonetheless grew concerned while studying Government as a Harvard undergraduate. As he learned about the dangers of redistricting, he encouraged the low-income middle schoolers he was volunteer-teaching to fight for their rights.
After graduating from Harvard, Iyer worked for the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law School, a non-partisan think-tank where he directed statistical research to evaluate democratic reforms. His research was used in several federal voter rights cases, and his work has been cited in The New York Times, Washington Post, Politico and National Review. In 2011, he founded the Statistical Reform in Redistricting Project, whose data have been used by the Sunlight Foundation and Georgia's Legislative Black Caucus. Now a first-year student at Yale Law School, Iyer hopes to become an effective voice in safeguarding democracy by integrating academic research with real-world litigation.
At the age of five, Richard Tao '15 emigrated from Nanjing, China to Detroit, Michigan. For years, Tao lived and attended school in a distressed and crime-ridden neighborhood. Yet it was there, in Detroit's Cass Corridor, that he developed a lifelong love for the Motor City. He attended high school in Troy, Michigan.
As an undergraduate at Yale, Tao served as student body president, successfully advocating for reforms to Yale's policies on financial aid and housing. An interdisciplinary law review published his award-winning thesis on the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments. His interests in public policy, economics, and business would lead him to Goldman Sachs, the Federal Trade Commission, and, after graduation, McKinsey & Company.
Two years ago, Tao returned to Yale for a JD. Detroit filed for bankruptcy less than a year later. That summer, Tao was in Detroit working for the local prosecutor's office. After returning to school, he began supporting the Detroit Mayor's Office with policy research. He has also continued to develop his financial skills at an investment management firm. On a recent trip home, Tao saw several new businesses in his old neighborhood. It was a small, inspiring step forward—one that he hopes to build upon in his future work.
The son of Lebanese immigrants, on September 11, 2001 Khalil Tawil '17 watched in horror as the World Trade Center towers collapsed. Learning that Islamic extremists were responsible, he knew others would regard him differently. As an Arab-American, Tawil felt uniquely positioned to foster understanding. He enrolled at the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he talked to his peers about the true nature of the Arab and Muslim worlds. After graduating, he conducted research on poverty reduction in Egypt on a Fulbright Scholarship, earning a Master's degree in economics.
Tawil then served three tours of duty as an infantry officer in Afghanistan. His soldiers came from housing projects and upper-class suburbs, from American Indian reservations and Midwestern farms. War, however, collapsed their differences as they fought to help each other survive. Most recently, he worked on the prosecutions of alleged international terrorists, including the high-profile trial of the alleged 9/11 co-conspirators.
Soon to begin studying for a JD at Yale and an MBA at Harvard, Tawil hopes to remain tied to the Middle East, building institutions that increase political and economic stability. He continues to work with Service to School, a non-profit organization he co-founded that assists veterans with continuing their education.
The Fellowship Program for New Americans was established by Hungarian immigrants Paul and Daisy Soros in 1997 as a way to "give back" to the country that had afforded them and their children great opportunities. Each Fellow will receive tuition and stipend assistance of up to $90,000 in support of graduate education in the United States.

Home > SPIRITS > WHISK(E)Y > SCOTCH > GLENROTHES SELECT RESERVE (Item #129728)
Out of Stock
This non-vintage-specific, Speyside single malt is chosen by Malt Master John Ramsay when he deems the whisky to be at its peak. It is his belief that whisky does not mature at a pre-determined age so a team of tasters check the barrels regularly to test for the perfect moment when it should be bottled. The distillery lies at the foot of the Mannoch Hills and has been in operation since 1879. Nowadays, the whisky is aged in a combination of casks that create a complex range of flavors. The whisky is first aged in oak casks that have been seasoned with Oloroso Sherry in Spain or bourbon in the US. To add some extra zing, the whisky is then matured in a combination of new seasoned casks and casks that have already been used for the maturation of malt Scotch. Some vintages are finished in bourbon barrels which have previously held malt whisky. The various methods impart a range of flavors to the Glenrothes with hints of coconut, vanilla and an underlying spiciness that will please the pallet.

Carrot Cake Cupcakes (Gluten & Dairy-free)
Okay. I have to say it. These are AMAZING. It has been a long time since I've had carrot cake. So long in fact, that I really had to think about what these should taste like! After several failed attempts, I believe I finally created something divine: Carrot Cake Cupcakes.
What makes this cupcake a rockstar? The shredded coconut, crushed pineapple and almond flour. The coconut adds texture. The pineapple adds texture and moisture. The almond flour adds moisture and is full of protein, making it a nutritious and delicious flour alternative.
I promise, if you make these cupcakes, people will be clueless that they are gluten & dairy-free. 😉

start to finish: 50 minutes
makes: 12 cupcakes
- ½ cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free All Purpose Baking Flour
- ½ cup Blanched Almond Flour
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup coconut palm sugar
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup shredded carrots, room temperature
- 8 oz can crushed pineapple
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup coconut oil, melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line muffin tins with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flours, sugars, shredded coconut, baking soda, baking powder, xanthan gum, cinnamon and salt. Add in shredded carrots, mix until carrots are completely coated and the mixture has become crumbly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together pineapple, eggs and coconut oil. Add mixture into the dry ingredients, and mix until the batter is smooth.
Pour the mixture into the 12 muffin liners, filling only ½ to ¾ full. Bake in the center of a preheated oven, for about 21 minutes, depending on your oven. At the 15 minute mark, rotate the cupcakes 180º. Bake until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the pan briefly, then gently pop out the cupcakes and continue cooling on a wire rack.
Once completely cooled, frost the cupcakes and cover in an airtight container.

25 years ago, the Exxon Valdez oil tanker ran aground in Prince William Sound. The impact of this spill was truly horrific. Alaska Native Chief Walter Meganack was later quoted as calling it "the day the water died." Today, 22 of the 24 impacted species have still not fully recovered, including animals like orca whales, sea lions, and dungeness crab. And now Shell Oil has permits to drill in the Chukchi Sea of the Arctic Ocean, off the coast of Alaska. This amazing area is home to Alaska Native people who rely on the health of the sea to maintain their traditional way of life, as well as polar bears, walruses, and hundreds of species of migratory birdsAn oil spill in America's Arctic would be catastrophic. But President Obama can stop it. Tell him to remember the lessons of the Exxon Valdez, and keep the Arctic from being the site of the next oil disaster.

The latest video from Dior Homme by Willy Vanderperre entitled, "The Defile."
When asked about the importance of the videos in representing the Dior collection, designer Kris van Assche had the following to say.
""I don't know whether watching a 15 minute show on the internet is of much interest to anyone... I thought it would be a good idea to apply a different, creative approach using the boys, the clothes and the venue of the show and make it into something new and dynamic to watch. I knew I could count on Willy Vanderperre to capture the mood and the spirit of the show in a powerful synthesis.
This three minute video tells the same story in a different way.""

Ubuntu Netboot
editor's review
Welcome to the Quantal Quetzal edition of Ubuntu Netboot, an open source and freely available project that allows experienced Linux users with special requirements or system administrators to boot the Ubuntu Linux operating system over the network using PXE (Preboot Execution Environment).
Ubuntu 12.10 is dubbed Quantal Quetzal and was officially announced by Canonical on October 18, 2012 along with several other Ubuntu flavors. Support for this version ended on May 16, 2014, which means that it will no longer receive software updates and has been archived for historical purposes only.
Supported architectures
The netboot images provided on the download page (see above) support the 64-bit (amd64), 32-bit (i386), Armel OMAP, ARMhf OMAP, ARMhf OMAP4, ARMhf Highbank, ARMhf ArmadaXP, PPC (PowerPC) 32-bit and PPC (PowerPC) 64-bit instruction set architectures.
This means that Canonical dropped support for the non-PAE 32-bit (i386) and Armel OMAP4 hardware platforms, which were supported on the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) release, which forces us to ask them to bring support for even more architectures in upcoming editions of this project.
Boot Ubuntu over the network
We have specified the meaning of network booting in several other past reviews of Ubuntu Netboot, as the project's soul purpose is to enable users to boot the Ubuntu installation system over the network, boot the Ubuntu Linux operating system from a LAN (Local Area Network), or mount the local file systems with NFS.
Using this method, anyone will be able to install Ubuntu from an existing Linux or UNIX system, over Parallel Line IP (PLIP) or by using PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) via FTP or HTTP. Detailed installation instructions are provided by Canonical at https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/installation-guide/.
Bottom line
Summing up, Ubuntu Netboot 12.10 is a great product that allows system administrator or advanced users with special requirements to boot and install Ubuntu over the network. Keep in mind though, that this version works only with the Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) distribution.

District 12 Enforcement Figures, Activity
Published on August 17 2012 9:21 am
Last Updated on July 14 2013 12:07 pm
Written by Millie Lange
Illinois State Police District 12 Commander, Morrie Fraser, has announced District 12 enforcement figures and activity for July 2012.
Illinois State Police District 12 troopers issued 1,685 citations, 1,064 written warnings and made 73 criminal arrests during the month of July. Speeding accounted for 890 citations and 290 were issued for occupant restraint violations.
Troopers investigated 72 crashes, assisted 441 motorists and conducted 260 commercial vehicle and driver inspections, 39 which were placed out of service. There were 29 arrests made for driving under the influence and 66 other citations issued for alcohol related violations. District 12, which encompasses Clark, Clay, Crawford, Cumberland, Effingham, Fayette, Jasper, Marion, Lawrence and Richland counties, experienced four traffic fatalities for the month of January.
Fatalities are up 83 percent through the first six months of 2012. Thirty-three people have lost their lives on District 12 roadways so far this year. The problem areas are the rural, state and local higihways. Commander Fraser would like to remind everyone to avoid the fatal four, speeding, driving under the influence, failure to wear seatbelt and distracted driving.
