Do we know that for sure? A corporation can be owned and run by one person.
Actually a corporation is run by a board of directors and is owned by shareholders, if there are no shareholders it isn't a corporation. What evidence is there that Quark's bar issues shares or is indeed a corporation at all? It is run far more like a sole proprietorship. There is no evidence that "Quark's bar" is a separate legal entity, for example.

Ontario's long-awaited Bill 91, the Waste Reduction Act, 2013, died on the legislative table at Queen's Park when the provincial election was set for June 12, 2014.
Although years in the making, Bill 91 failed to find a consensus among major players in the waste and recycling industry.
Many stakeholders viewed the proposal as not going far enough to make industry foot the bill as stewards of its own waste, while others feared the Bill would drive away Ontario manufacturers to more leniently-regulated waste jurisdictions in the U.S. These arguments made Bill 91 one of the most hotly-debated Bills in the Legislature during the 40th session. However, following the 2013 December break, Bill 91 failed to return to the fray, at Queen's Park, and was never addressed again.
The Recycling Council of Ontario (RCO) has assembled a timeline of the Bill 91's media coverage, and may be worth a look, as the Bill is bound to return in some new form sooner rather than later.
Another Bill dies on the floor, and more money has been wasted because of the cost of the studies and effort that went into creating the Bill will not effect any change. There needs to be a process in our governments that actually holds such Bills to be reconsidered once an election is over. Why should our tax dollars be wasted in this manner. It is true that Bill 91 had its shortcomings and needed some tweaking, but what happens now? Will the next elected government immediately restart legislative initiatives to complete the efforts of those who went before, or will it take years to restart; only to die at the foot of the next election?
Our governments need to learn to recycle and reuse its own pending legislative initiatives after an election has taken place. It is time to green-up the legislative processes!

Terone Johnson scored a career-high 32 points and Rapheal Davis added 15 for Purdue (14-16 7-10 Big Ten), which has lost five of its past seven games.
Nik Stauskas contributed 17 points and Tim Hardaway Jr. had 16 points and five rebounds for the Wolverines (25-5, 12-5), who have won four of their past five games and remain in the race for a share of the Big Ten title.
Hardaway's 3-pointer with 3:46 left gave Michigan a 66-64 lead.
Stauskas made free throws and a 3-pointer to extend the lead, and Burke added two free throws with 20 seconds left to make it 77-73.

Is Xbox Live Better Than PSN?
I think so.
I believe that Xbox Live trumps PSN in every category as far as online gaming goes. Xbox Live truely gives you everything you could want in online gaming. But PSN allows people to play online for free, while Microsoft forces all subscribers to do a monthly subscription.
All those amazing features that you want to use on Xbox Live all come at a price. If you want to enjoy all of the great benefits of Xbox Live, you'll have to be willing to spend a little money. Otherwise the service is excellent. Xbox Live runs fast and smoothly. The downloadable content and digital game downloads are great. Voice chat is clear. The servers run fast and you rarely get dropped out of games from the server. Microsoft is always on top of fixing bugs or glitches. Also, the achievements system is great.
Xbox Live runs very smoothly, and I hope Sony and Nintendo will take more notes from Sony to make their online services compare or at least match what Xbox Live offers to it's consumers.
I feel that Xbox Live and Steam are the best online gaming services available right now in gaming.
Do you agree or disagree? Do you think Xbox Live is the best online gaming service available, or would you give that award to Steam?
Have you ever tried PSN before? I once played on Xbox live and I am currently playing on PSN.. Both are great.
I dont see a difference from the online aspect of either xbox or ps3. The system is really the difference + the games available.
Very nice Information Thanks for sharing.

Clifford O Findlay Middle School Reviews
Both of my children have attended Findlay MS. My son started the 6th grade in Roy Martin Magnet school. They did not enforce their own policy so I transferred him to Findlay MS in 2009. He excelled with the help as a team and the faculty and staff went out their way to help him in grade 6, 7 and 8th. His grades improved significantly and was even a student aide. They loved him after he got his act together. My son was so proud of his accomplishments as we are too. Every time I was there they would always tell me "we wish we had 1500 students like your son". He now attends High School at a Magnet school, NWTCA, specializing in Culinary Arts. When my daughter started in the 6th grade in 2011 she had many behavioral problems that needed addressing. Yes, she went to behavioral school for 2 months. Not Findlay MS fault. She is returning to Findlay this year for 8th grade, and I have no doubt that she will succeed there if SHE makes the choice to. Once again the school did everything they can to help out and always returned my calls, or attended the Parent teacher conferences. They have after school programs to help the kids, teachers stay after school on their own time to help the kids and they also have tutors, learning lab and hour power. BUT the kids must use the tools that are provided to them.
I am reading a lot of complaints on here about the dress code. Neither one of my kids have EVER been in trouble over the dress code. Know why? Because I made sure that they wear what they were suppose to wear. That is MY job as a Parent. If you were against it you should have voted on it. You must involve yourself in your children's education by working with the school, and their policies. Your children's education should be the highest priority to you and your child. Complaining about the dress code and not placing the energy in their academics is sad ,as that is one of the things you have direct control over as a parent.
The schools are not their to raise your children while they receive a free education. Whoever said that the school is more concerned with the noise level, and not on learning please tell me where you can work and be as loud as you want?? How about a dress code in the work force. Most work places have a dress code, and a behavior policy too. It's not the schools fault when children do not listen to authority or respect the teachers. When your child refuses to stop talking in class, it disrupts and effects the entire classrooms education. You are setting your children up for failure if you do not teach them to follow the basic rules, and have not only common sense, but also common courtesy. If kids could make good choices they wouldn't need parent(s). If you do not deal with your children's behavior and lack of authority now, society will when they are older. They also have dress codes for adults that violate societies rules..all orange jumpsuits.
My son is a seventh grader at Findlay. AS for the teachers of this school most seem to sincerely care and to give all the efforts towards our children's education, but they like the children are hindered by dress codes, faculty and administration. The school itself seems to care more about the appearance and noise level of the children then their education. As for the dean that I have to work with I find that he could use a few lessons in how to neutralize a situation instead of dominate it. Overall I'm sad to say my son will have to attend this school next year, hopefully they can fix some of their administration problems by then.
I think it is a good school . But I am not excited about dress code and getting kicked out of school because of that. Dress code should be reconsidered.
this school was decent. i just hated dress code.
this school is horrible i lived near legacy high school and findlay middle i went here for 2 years 6th and 7th they introduced me to under aged smoking gang activity drugs theft and even faulty teaching one teacher even made me redo something i finished 4 times and my parents had facts that backed it up and she said i didnt
I went to this school all three years and now I'm in high school. I promise you it's a bad school I hated it, my older sister hated it and my younger brother hated it.my brother and I both had bullies and problems there and nobody did anything about it because they were too worried about dresscode. Plus most of the teachers are very unprofessional and so are the office people. DONT SEND YOUR KIDS THERE YOU'LL REGREY IT!!
Findlay Middle School is a drop out factory........
Findlay Middle School is a drop out factory........
well personaly i love this school they have the best teachers the dance team is so talented, my chiles is on ther 3rd yer here. and she also agrees that findlay is a great school
This school is more concerned with enforcing their "dress code" and kicking children out of school for "dress code violations" than giving a student an education. My daughter has been sent to behavior school for dress code violations. BEHAVIOR SCHOOL! The teachers in this school are very unprofessional. It makes me sick to my stomach that schools lilke this are not getting audited properly, so that our children can get a proper education. By the way, I will be home schooling my daughter when she is done with her behavior school sentence.
This school is perfectly fine. The teachers may be a little rude and everything, but I dont think this school is the Worst.
This school's students may cause problems but this school does have non-problem taking teachers. So I DONT agree with those whom hatethis school.
Not a very good school... I'm sorry but Johnston Middle School Is better.
This School is the WORST. My Child's Teachers were HORRIBLE! The school is HORRIBLE! My Son just got transfered from here for two weeks, and He hated it, I did, and my Husband. The kids here are rude, selfish, mean, Just the worst school ever! Im sorry but it wasnt a good school.
I Do not like dress code. Theres no point of having it if alot of kids are going to keep being out of dress code. EDUCATION IS MORE IMPORTANT!!! I am a student at Bailey Middle School
i transferred to findlay from johnston becuse i had so many problems at johnston my first week at findlay i had no problems but my first week at johnston this year before i switch i swear i was gong to switch i like this school so far but ill see later on in the year how it goes i mean just yesterday there was a fight? like really on the 4th day of school
This school has failed my children. They focus on the wrong issues. Teachers could care less about their students education. They are kicking the kids out of school for ridiculous reasons. They should be happy the kids go to school. They deny children their education because of "dress code", this school is why Las Vegas has the worst rated schools in the U.S.
This school is THE worst school ever! They are more concerned with sending kids home for dress code than giving them an education... Don't send your kids to this school!
It is a very nice school the teachers are great my daughter loves it there
I have a son at Clifford this is his first year in Clark County district, so far I think things are going well and for the most parent the teacher's seem to care, especially if they see the parent is making effort to assist. I do think that being activity is very important as to how your child is handled.

Burton mounting screws
are you supposed to keep the blue plastic on the screws when you mount new bindings on a board? i've never mounted these bindings before and i'm having trouble getting the screws tight enough.
Are you talking about lock-tight on the threads of the screw? If so yes keep it on.
is that what it is? it's a strip of blue plastic down the thread
If its what i think it is it's a hardened liquid that helps keep your screws in tight.

SAGAMORE — The ongoing power struggle for Market Basket has put a dent into sales for nearby businesses as well.
Carter's, a popular children's clothing store directly across from the Market Basket near the Sagamore Bridge is seeing a decline in its usual summer shopping crowds.
Michelle Mark, manager of the Carter's store, said Thursday the volume of shoppers is down 30 percent this summer. "We usually get a lot of business on the weekends, but since tourists and locals aren't shopping at Market Basket, we don't see our usual crowd," she said.
Mark said locals know about the store, but the lack of tourist customers has been mostly responsible for the drop.
Market Basket's parking lot, usually full on weekdays, remained half empty on Thursday. There weren't many customers inside the store.
The lack of fruit, vegetables, dairy and meat products may have a lot to do with the lack of customers as well. There's been only one tractor-trailer load of food delivered in the past week; typically, there are two a day.
Deliveries have slowed to a trickle because of employee action to protest the removal of Arthur T. Demoulas as CEO by a board controlled by his cousin and bitter rival, Arthur S. Demoulas. That has also led to a boycott and calls by workers, managers and customers for his reinstatement.
"It's amazing how many people have boycotted the store in support of Arthur T. and his employees," assistant store manager Gerry Banks said.
The chain appears to have cut back on advertising. Its weekly circular in the Times did not appear this week.
The dispute also is having an impact on Massachusetts farmers who normally supply produce to the regional supermarket chain.
Rich Bonanno, whose family operates Pleasant Valley Gardens in Methuen, estimated he was losing $2,000 a day due to the ongoing revolt by store workers and customer boycott.
While he's been able to unload produce to other buyers, Bonanno told the Eagle Tribune that he was only earning about half of what he would normally take in from Market Basket.
Lacking food and customers, the Market Basket at the Sagamore Bridge is still better off than most of the other 70 supermarkets in the chain. Looking on the bright side, Banks said the boycott hit the Sagamore faster than other locations, so there's still some stock on the shelves.
The store also still has its full ranks of part-time and full-time staff, with their same hours as before, Banks said.
"Our employees still come to work every day, stock shelves and clean like usual," he said.
One unusual thing the Sagamore store's employees have been doing is standing outside the Market Basket and protesting during their breaks, before or after work, or on their days off.
Many said they weren't stopping the protest until Arthur T. Demoulas is back. Now in their second week of protesting and gathering signatures for their petition, employees said they are tired and ready for Arthur T. Demoulas to be reinstated.

Robert S. Schilling, the managing general partner with Urban Restorations, which had a contract to buy the 86-year-old facility, said Wednesday before the Granville Village Council meeting that the projected operational costs of the inn were too daunting.
"In our due diligence, our main reason is the operating budget was just too close for our comfort level," Schilling said. "We were able to reconcile the rehab portion and keep it within budget and do the quality of job ...

Two teens face murder and arson charges in connection with a mobile home fire that claimed the life of a Jonesville man.
Conner Thomas and Trey Seward, both 17 and of Jonesville, are charged with one count each of second-degree murder and aggravated arson, according to the State Fire Marshal's Office.
Kevin Wiley, 36, died in Friday's fire in Jonesville.
The suspects were arrested by Fire Marshal investigators without incident and booked into Catahoula Parish Jail where they are being held without bond.
Jonesville firefighters were called to the fire at 1005 Pecan St. about 4 a.m. Friday after a neighbor reported seeing the fire. After the fire was brought under control, firefighters found Wiley's body on the floor in his bedroom. No one else was in the residence.
Officials said the mobile home was without electrical power at the time of the fire and was not equipped with working smoke alarms.

Stop the flow
In light of the recent massacre in Boston, I believe our government needs to put an immediate freeze on immigration to our country. Since President Jimmy Carter opened the gates for immigrants, our nation has been flooded. This has put a drain on our citizens and local economies in some areas and has allowed many undesirable people to enter our country.
When the freeze is instituted, immigration officials can then investigate those already here to weed out the undesirables and return them to their native land.
It is unbelievable that so many immigrants are employed and so many Americans are not. It is more unbelievable that young immigrants can afford to go to college. Who is paying for the tuition and books? Who pays for their rent, food and cars? Why do we educate people who hate us and turn away our born and bred American students?

A six mile run, easy? Yep, I said those words today. Who am I and what did I do with the real me? (Or should I say old me?) Nine months ago I could not even run a tenth of a mile. Today I went out in 70* weather with 83% humidity in direct sun and ran 6 miles… and called it easy.
So what does this teach me? That training works. I was terrified of this Half Marathon coming up in August, actually I still have days where I am, but once again I am realizing the training is set up the way it is for a reason and if I don't think too hard about it and just do the work, this will all work out.
I figure running in this heat and humidity is good training too, I am learning more and more about hydration, fuel, replenishing, etc. It's Hot Stuff!
(Random side note, that was the name of my 4th grade soccer team, Hot Stuff, brings back memories of Donna Summer 45s and soccer team sleepovers.)
I had kind of fizzled out in May, but deucedeuce helped get my thinking back on track. I started my Half training for real, however with one caveat, it had to be fun for me, so I would modify just a little bit so I could throw races in, I love racing.
So just a quick reap on the month of June and training:
Total Running Mileage: 52.2 miles <----WOW
Biking: 15.87 Miles
4 Yoga Classes
3 Personal Training Sessions
Too many push-ups to count
Races: Two 5Ks and a 10K
Weightloss: Down 8.2 lbs
So onward and upward in July, as in the mileage is ramping up quickly now. The one thing I am really nervous about is a 5 day work trip to Florida… plan calls for 9 miles plus either another 3 mile run or Cross-training while I am there. Yikes! And I think it is hot stuff up here in New York.
Wish me luck!
For your listening pleasure: http://youtu.be/1IdEhvuNxV8
Keep Runnin'
The first time I called 6 miles easy was such a rush a couple of months ago! Glad your training is going well.
I found that planning my workouts, routes, and really sticking to the timing and schedule helped when I was travelling. I did 9, 10, and 12 milers while on business trips plus a few 3-4 milers during my half training. I'm sure you can do it!
Decide who you want to be, and go be it.
Be Fearless. Be 261. - K. Switzer
Sounds like your training is going well and preparing you for your 1/2. That is great that you had an "easy" 6 miler! You've had a busy month - good for you. Hope all goes well in Florida and you get your workouts in.
Running = Happiness
You've had a great June! Looking back helps us on our journey forward.
Life's a little better when we run.
I have a half marathon in August, too. I keep telling myself that training in the heat and humidity will pay off then. Good luck!
- Emma (formerly MJ --- it's a long story)
That's great that you got six miles in this soup. I'm envious. I learned the hard way about hydration. Water was more useful to me than any Gatorade/like product on my run. It can be a tough answer that can only be learned from your experience. You are doing great!
Most limitations are self made.
Both t raining and weightloss are working. Keep it up.
Rock on and keep on running.
Rock on and keep on running.....
You have made really great strides in just a short amount of time. It's amazing what training can do--congrats on getting to 'easy'!!!!
Isn't it NICE that training works, though, too? Yep. I like that. Nice work with the 6 miles. I'm feeling like four miles will feel the same way for me soon, I hope. It's just step by step, little by little and then one day we look back and wow!! And I'm hoping the fall weather will surprise us with how "easy" runs will feel too, after all of this muck and yuck weatherl
Summer training still sucks. Luck.
Attitude is everything
Wow, that's some transformation! Keep at it!!
Training is tough, but it's so nice when you actually see the results of your hard work!
LOL! You know you are training for a Half or Full when you go out for a run and it's "only" 6 miles. See how far you have come?
You're doing awesome!

Monkey's Audio 4.11 available
URL: http://www.monkeysaudio.com/
Version 4.11 (January 20, 2013)
NEW: Switched from MMX to SSE assembly, making compression and decompression faster.
NEW: Switched to latest Microsoft compiler, making everything around 5% faster.
Changed: Removed support for old Monkey's Audio 3.92 and earlier files (it hasn't been possible to make these files for over ten years -- use an old copy of Monkey's Audio to convert these files to the latest format if you have any).
Changed: Fixed a few compiler warnings.
Changed: Removed dependence on third-party NASM assembly compiler in favor of intrinsics (which compile nicely with all major compilers).
Changed: Put all Monkey's Audio source code into a namespace APE so that linking into third-party projects should never have name collisions.v
Changed: Switched from #ifndef/endif to #pragma once (now supported by any reasonable compiler).

First off, let me say I am encouraged and admire the posts I will be quoting. Also, I will mention that I was such a fan of Monkey's Audio that it would fair to say I was fanatical (chalk it up to a good codec with a smart package with plugins for WinAmp CoolEdit/Audition and GUI front-end).
If you feed it an outdated file does it give you a message what to do, or just reject it silently?I imagine it might say, "Unsupported version/format." This is what I encountered when using an old plug-in with a newer file. In my case, updating my plugin solved the issue. In this current context, downgrading the plug-in would be the solution.
I can't look on this with any favor. I have many hundreds of hours of work into "restoring" old LPs, somewhere around 600 albums, all backed up in the 3.92 version. How hard would it have been to include decompression of the older format?This is a mystery to me too. Although, I do recall the whole 'source code' issue seemed to exclude versions previous to 3.96 (correct/flame me if I am wrong on this one).
Related thread at JRiver forum: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=77850.0This is interesting: people still using files from 3.60. My oldest APE files are version 3.87. (UPDATE: Matt posted he plans to restore legacy support to Windows version, so this issue is not really a issue.)
As a long time Monkey's audio user I don't like the idea of dropping support for older versions either. However, it was really simple to get foobar to show me the versions of my APE files and then convert them to a newer version.Exactly. I know I can convert losslessly but I might not go from [APE -> APE] given the current situation. Again, I was such a major Monkey's Audio supporter in the past but I gave up using "one codec for all" a while ago. I will still use Monkey's Audio for reasons such as my familiarity with the codec and its plug-ins (Monkey's Audio is one of the few lossless codecs with on-the-fly DLL encoding in EAC), but its place overall in my archives has slipped. However, I also see this latest news only affecting the users who have files prior to 3.97.

Locals attending the LDWF's Mini Becoming an Outdoors Woman event in August will receive firearms training.
In an effort to introduce more women to the outdoors for the first-time Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries personnel will hold a mini Becoming and Outdoor Woman workshop on Aug. 2 at the Woodworth Environmental Education Facility located south of Alexandria.
Only 20 women at least 18 years old will be accepted for the event that is an off-shoot of the larger BOW program the LDWF sponsors later in the year.
"The demand was so high for the original BOW workshop that we had from 30 to 50 people on the waiting list each year," said LDWF biologist Chad Moore, who instructs at the event. "The ...

It happened today – 24 July
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
On 24th July 2005, the second race of round 3 of the Formula Abarth series took place at Magione. Starting from pole was a young Italian, Davide Rigon, in a car run by Europa Corse. The race was run over 25 laps of 2.507 kilometre Umbrian circuit and Rigon got a perfect getaway to lead from Andrea Caldarelli and Giuseppe Terranova, crossing the line for the first time with a one second advantage.
On lap 10, an aggressive Terranova passed Caldarelli, but by then Rigon was well out of reach, driving steadily to the flag to win by four seconds. At the end of the season, Rigon was champion, staking his claim on moving up the motor sport ranks. Having also raced in GP2, Rigon is one of the test drivers for Scuderia Ferrari and this year, he also drives a 458 Italia GT2 in the World Endurance Championship for AF Corse.

I find simulation theory – in essence, the possibility that we're living in a artificially generated reality – philosophically interesting, even though there really isn't much evidence to support the idea. Then again, it's not really needed.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the theory, at least from a cultural perspective, is that it is at this point a religious belief system. As the bronze age myths of gods and heroes have increasingly failed to address in any convincing manner humanity's perennial existential woes ("Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going?"), we invented technological ones to replace them.
To a greater or lesser degree, the various branches of the Abrahamic faiths have at least at one time considered Earthly life to be illusory, transient, and even sinful; a transitional state of being on the path to the godhead. In the tech-friendly world of Simulation theory, Earthly life is once again illusory: An artificial construct created by powers unknown who might as well be gods.… Read the rest

Vaterite is a form of calcium carbonate – one of nature's most abundant minerals. It can be found in gallstones and in certain geological structures. It is also a component of cement, where its quick transformation into other more stable forms of calcium carbonate when exposed to water, helps make cement hard and water resistant.
Scientists have long been studying the development and formation of vaterite in biomineralization, the process in which living organisms control the production of different minerals on the atomic level. For example, when a mollusk receives a blow that cracks its shell, it uses vaterite to repair the damage. As a biomineral, vaterite is also found in freshwater pearls and in the inner ear structures of some fish.
"Unlike most minerals, vaterite has defied every effort to resolve its crystal structure, perplexing scientists for nearly a century. The structure of a mineral crystal is a critically important feature and is determined by how atoms are arranged in the crystal. The arrangement of atoms and the resulting crystal structure, for instance, make the difference between graphite and diamond, both forms of pure carbon," said Assistant Professor Boaz Pokroy of the Technion Department of Materials Science and Engineering, who led the project.
Prof. Pokroy and his graduate student Lee Kabalah-Amitai, and University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists, worked together to unveil the secrets of vaterite with the help of a needlelike spicule from a sea squirt found in the Mediterranean and Red Seas.
Ferreting out the structure of the mineral was challenging because of the difficulty of finding sufficiently large, pure single crystals of vaterite.
Using state-of-the-art transmission electron microscopy at the Technion to examine the large, single crystal that makes up the spicule of the solitary sea squirt Herdmania momus, Pokroy and his team were able to unmask the atomic structure of its constituent biomineral vaterite. They concluded that vaterite is composed of at least two different crystal structures that "coexist within a pseudo-single crystal."
"We never envisaged this scenario," explains Pokroy. "It was a total surprise, but at the same time it made so much sense knowing the years of conflicting results from different groups publishing on the structure of vaterite."
"This small organism produces a bundle of crystals from vaterite that are very sharp and relatively large, making them easier to work with," explains Kabalah-Amitai. "This is why we examined these crystals, and this is the first time they have ever been studied on the atomic level.
"We found that vaterites actually consisted of two different atomic arrangements that exist in harmony with one another. The second atomic arrangement was found in an area so tiny – about 40,000 times thinner than a human hair – which is why it eluded the eyes of scientists who believed this was a singular structure rather than a dual structure, explains Pokroy."
The research team also included Boaz Mayzel, a marine biologist from Tel Aviv University, who collected the specimens; Dr. Yaron Kaufman, who aided in examining the crystals under the Technion's "Titan" electronic microscope, Dr. Andy Fitch, a scientists at the synchrotron in Grenoble, France, Leonid Bloch from the Technion, and Prof. Pupa Gilbert of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Physics.

Sen. Sherrod Brown recently called to chat about the Farm Bill with Ohio Farm Bureau's Joe Cornely. Check out what he had to say.
Summer is here, and the opportunities to get engaged with agriculture in your community are growing throughout Ohio Farm Bureau! Here is the latest comprehensive list of Farm Bureau tours, demonstrations, workshops, meetings and other happenings throughout the state.
Franklin and Madison County Farm Bureaus held their first Breakfast on the Farm event Saturday, with more than 500 people attending. The breakfast, a Grow and Know event, was held at the Yutzy family dairy farm, Kramer Homestead, in Plain City. Attendees enjoyed a made-to-order omelet breakfast in the farms pasture and were able to get food and farming questions answered.
Rep. Bob Gibbs recently spoke with Ohio Farm Bureau Federation about the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) attempt to circumvent Congress and expand its regulatory authority under the Clean Water Act.
Last week Gov. John Kasich signed into law Senate Bill 315, legislation that strengthens regulations for Ohios oil and gas industry. Introduced by Sen. Shannon Jones (R Springboro), the bill establishes a regulatory framework for overseeing technologies allowing exploration of natural gas in deep shale rock formations, as well as other energy issues.

a difference: (l-r) Tuan Razik and Ruth Pelham.

Across the Water
Shawn Stone
local fund-raising effort aims to bring direct, practical
help to one tsunami-damaged Sri Lankan village
lost my brother, but I gained a lot more family in New York.
Its a brutally cold recent Friday morning in Albany, but
theres a genuine human warmth inside the M&T Bank branch
at the corner of State and
Pearl streets. TV cameras, photographers and reporters are
crowded around Tuan Razik and Ruth Pelham, who are standing
next to an image of a boat. The pair are telling the story
of how a simple fund-raising drive has mushroomed into a fund
thats raised thousands of dollars to buy fishing boats for
fishermen in Raziks home village, Hanbantota.
As he explained, Razik lost many close family members in the
tsunami that killed hundreds of thousands of people and devastated
coastlines across Southeast Asia and Africa. But hes transformed
that inconceivable grief into a positive effort to help rebuild
A few days before the press conference, singer-songwriter,
educator and Capital Region mainstay Pelham still seemed amazed
at everything thats happenedand by how fast it has all come
so wired, this has been such an amazing few weeks, she said.
When it really hit me that Sri Lanka was involvedId been
there for a month back in 2002I had two thoughts: Are my
friends alive who live there, and what about Tuan Raziks
Following the 20th anniversary celebration of the Music Mobile,
the arts-in-education summer program she operates in Albany,
Pelham traveled to Sri Lanka for a month-long tour. Working
with Sri Lankan musicians and children was a deeply moving
experience for Pelham. And it led, directly, to meeting Tuan
I came back from Sri Lanka, I went over to Stuyvesant Photo
to develop my film. And the owner said, Sri Lanka? Do you
know Tuan Razik? He works next door at Breuggers.
So, the ever-gregarious Pelham went right next door and introduced
herself: And [Tuan] was immediately welcoming and open-hearted.
Over the next few months, Razik helped her with her pronunciations,
and translated some of the songs she learned. Razik and his
wife invited her to their home, and she was invited to the
holiday party of the Sri Lankan community of the Capital Region.
Then, as people do, they lost contact (We both just got busy
with our lives), until the tsunami struck.
I heard about the tsunami, I called Tuan that Tuesday morning,
and he told me that he had just heard that he had lost his
brother, sister-in-law and their two children, Pelham said,
adding, and he was, as you can imagine, completely grief-stricken.
He said that he very much wanted to go to Sri Lanka immediately
to be with his family.
The problem was money. At first, Razik was considering taking
out a loan to pay for his ticket. But Pelham had another idea:
Why not start a fund? After making a number of calls to various
people she knew, Pelham got in touch with Al DeSalvo, the
community reinvestment officer at M&T Bank.
talked with Al DeSalvo, and he said We can set up a fund.
Thus, the Friends of Sri Lanka Fund was born. Calls were placed
to the local media, and before they knew it, all the TV stationsWTEN,
WRGB, WNYT and Channel News 9were interested. Money started
coming in. Tuan left for Sri Lanka.
Ruth said, while Tuan was in Sri Lanka, his employer, Breuggers,
generously decided to cover the cost of his ticket.
Which brought up a new questionwhat to do with the money
raised by the Friends of Sri Lanka?
seen the worst of the ocean, you know, when Ive crossed the
Atlantic, the English Channel . . . Ive seen the worst.
Before he settled in the United States in 1989, Razik worked
on commercial ships for five years: My wifes from here.
I used to come on a banana boat to Albany. I used to go to
the seamens mission.
why it bothers me, all those innocent people. . . . His voice
trails off, then he adds: The ocean can be your friend, and
it can be dangerous, too.
The post-tsunami trip home to Sri Lanka was as bad as Razik
anticipated. Seeing the damage to his home town, Hanbantota,
was emotionally devastating. He felt like he needed to do
something, so he went to the local officials.
asked, Is there anyway I can help you with food? Razik
remembered. They said We dont need any food, we have enough
food. He gave them what money he could, but still wanted
to find another way to help.
The next morning, as he always did when he was growing up,
Razik got up early, at 5 or 6 oclock, and walked to the
was looking at the beach, and the whole beach was empty: no
fishermen, no boats, nobody on the beach. And then one fisherman
came, who Ive known from childhood. And he said, I lost
my wife, I have four kids, and there is no way I can feed
my kids because I dont have a job. . . . If I had a boat,
Id go fishing today. A lot of people [are] scared to go fishing
now, but Im not.
Razik said forcefully, hit my heart. And I said, Im going
to buy you a boat. He said It costs $300.
Razik soon found someone else, a neighbor with a large family
to support, who also lost his boat to the tsunami, and needed
a new one. He had enough money to buy the two boats. So, he
called Pelham back in Albany.
said, We have some money in the fund.
That is how the fund was transformed into a means to buy fishing
boats. The money, Pelham said, is wired directly to a manufacturer
in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. The boats will be distributed
to fishermen based on a lottery system. Theres no overhead;
there are no middle-men.
As of the morning of the press conferenceFriday, Jan. 21enough
money has been raised to buy 35 boats. As soon as the reporters
leave, Pelham is going to meet with M&Ts Joe Tumonis
to sign the papers to effect the money transfer to the boat-builders
in Colombo.
Pelham is, as ever, focused on the community-building aspect
of the project. Shes made arrangements with another Sri Lankan
friend, musician Lakshmi Danayanthi, to travel down to Hanbantota
to take pictures of the fishermen with their boats. Danayanthi
has volunteered to do this, because she agrees with Pelham
on the importance of the personal connection between the two
communities. Its a way for the people back here in the Capital
Regionthe schoolchildren in East Greenbush and Duanesburg,
the numerous folks whove donated sums large and smallto
see the direct results of their generosity.
Or, as Pelham tells the departing press: Everyone who needs
a boat will have a boat. Because were all in the same boat.

An Oakland Grocery store employee called 911 after seeing two men acting suspicious and said they had bought salt and a plastic hose before leaving the store, 9101 Chillicothe Lancaster Road SW, around 7:45 p.m. Monday.
Fairfield County Sheriff's deputies located the vehicle at the corner of Fourth Alley and Ohio 159, and smelled "a strong chemical odor."
The driver, Jared Quincel, 27, of Stoutsville, was alone in the vehicle and had an outstanding warrant issued by the Fairfield-Hocking Major Crimes Unit on charges of illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of drugs, a third-degree felony, and illegal manufacture of drugs charges, a second-degree felony.
Once deputies smelled a possible active meth lab, MCU was called in to locate any drugs. It's unclear from the report whether a meth lab was found. Quincel has not been arraigned on any charges related to the traffic stop.

"A coup d' etat has been described as 'a sudden action by which an individual or group, usually employing limited violence, captures positions of governmental authority without conforming to the formal requirement for changing officeholders, as prescribed by the laws or constitution.' A successful coup requires a number of elements: extensive planning and preparation by the sponsors (those responsible for the coup); the collaboration of the Praetorian Guard (officials whose job is to protect the government, including the President); a diversionary cover-up afterwards; the ratification of the assassination by the new government inheriting power; and the dissemination of disinformation by major elements of the news media. If this concurrence of events has a familiar sound, it is because this is exactly what happened when John Kennedy was murdered." ( Jim Garrison, New Orleans District Attorney, ON THE TRAIL OF THE ASSASSINS, p. 325, Warner Books, 1988 )
"Frank [Klein] could not stay away from it [Kennedy investigation], and neither could I....This is the front page of the Dallas Morning News for November 22, 1963...I gestured to the large diagram on the paper's front page, indicating the route of the presidential parade...It covered almost five-sixths of the front page...The diagram indicates that the President's parade was supposed to continue on Main Street through the center of Dealey Plazawithout ever leaving Main...If that was the presidential parade route up there on Main...How did he get way down here on Elm?...The motorcade turned right on Houston and went down onto Elm...where the motorcade made that sweeping 120-degree left turn you are looking at, which had to slow the President's car down to about ten miles an hour...Are you telling me that at the last moment they just moved the President of the United States off of his scheduled route to here where the [Texas School Book] Depository is?...I haven't read a damned word about that anywhere. How can they keep something like that a secret for three years?...Where were the Dallas Police...and the Secret Service? And the FBI?...Was the Warren Commission blind?...Would you like to see the Dallas Morning News front page introduced as a Commission exhibit?...They just removed the entire motorcade route from the front page...On five-sixths of the front page where the diagram of the motorcade route was supposed to be was nothing but a large square of solid gray...And this has been printed as an official exhibit by the Warren Commission?

George Bush Sr. cites JFK Warren report at Ford funeral despite evidence placing him in CIA, near murder scene
By Tom Flocco
WashingtonJanuary 13, 2007TomFlocco.comIn his funeral eulogy for former President Gerald R. Ford last week at the National Cathedral, former President George H. W. Bush surprisingly focused renewed attention on the controversial Warren Commission final report on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and why Ford's reputation should be reason enough never to reopen the JFK murder casedespite substantial evidence of a cover-up.

Here is one of some 9-12 persons taken into custody by the Dallas police shortly after the assassination and later released sans records of any kind. Notice the length of this individuals coat (6-7 inches longer than the length the of average American males suite or sport jacket). Notice the remarkably straight line down the right-hand side of the jacket, from the breast pocket area to just below the-side pocket.

Oakbeck Veterinary, Acorn Veterinary Clinic, Ashdale Veterinary Clinic
Welcome to VetHospital – a family owned group of veterinary practices in Harrogate and Ripon,
"Working with you to provide the best possible care for your pets."
Not only do we provide routine Veterinary Care (vaccinations, neutering, parasite control etc.) but our central Hospital
(the ONLY one in the area) provides 24/7 care for in-patients and emergencies.
Our state of the art facilities mean that operations are carried out with the safest anesthetics and monitoring.
We also have two sister practices,
Acorn Veterinary Clinic in Ripon and Ashdale Veterinary Clinic on Otley Road in Harrogate.
Our centrally held patient database ensures that all your pet's records are fully accessible whichever of our three practices you visit; and we are able to transport patients between branches in our custom-built ambulance.
We are based in an RCVS-certified Veterinary Hospital. This means our nursing staff are present 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year to care for in-patients. We also provide our own "out-of-hours" emergency care. This means that you don't have to travel to an unknown practice (maybe as far away as Leeds) to be seen. It also means that your loved pet will receive care from our dedicated staff 24 hrs per day. We won't rush treatment and send pets home early - we'll ensure they get the proper care they deserve ‐ the care that you would wish for them.
We don't have to share our income with a big corporation based in some far off tax haven. Instead, we can (and do) reinvest in equipment and facilities to provide better care for your pets. Our level of equipment per vet is second to none.
Please visit our Gallery Page to view our facilities and premises.

Our Pet Family
We think of our patients as members of our Pet Family and our clients as friends of the practice. We want to provide the best possible care for your loved pets, we discuss treatment options and work with you to decide on the best way forwards. We have a bond of loyalty - that means we go the extra mile for our patients. Members of our pet family also receive discounts on emergency call-outs or hospital stays.

Z for Zachariah is a novel by Robert C. O'Brien which was published posthumously in 1973. He died when writing the last chapter, so his family finished the book for him. It is written from the first person perspective of a sixteen-year-old girl named Ann Burden, who survives a nuclear war in a small American town. The town's location is in a geographically distinct and remote valley that shelters it from the nuclear fallout. The book takes the form of a diary kept by Ann as she recounts the events that followed the war.

? On Wednesday, Officer Gerald Mancuso was called to a house on Amherst Way for a reported burglary. The owner said that someone took about $100 worth of change out of a 5 gallon water bottle that was still in the bedroom where he had it. Also stolen was a gold rope chain necklace with a gold cross pendant with Jesus on it worth $400. The owner's 15-year-old son was home but stated he left with friends for approximately 50 minutes between 11 a.m. and 11:50 a.m.. The son did not remember locking the door.
? At 3:46 p.m. on Tuesday, police investigated a motor vehicle crash at the Shop Rite Plaza at 1153 Valley Road. A car owned by Catrina A. Lostocco was parked in the parking lot when an unknown vehicle struck the car and then left the scene without reporting the incident. Police are continuing their investigation.
? At 7:14 p.m. on Aug. 24, a Springfield Township resident reported a theft from her vehicle at 1050 Long Hill Road. Police were told some unknown person(s) broke the victim's window and stole her purse from within the vehicle. Police are continuing their investigation.
? At 2:02 a.m. on Thursday, Officer Lonnie Elbaum was patrolling River Road in the Flanders section of town when he observed a 2003 Hyundai traveling River Road so he entered the vehicle's registration into his in-car computer system. Elbaum received a hit notification that the registered owner had an active bench warrant out of Jefferson with bail set at $89. A motor vehicle stop was conducted at which time the driver was identified as Charlotte Fromm, 26, of Blairstown, who was also the registered owner of the vehicle. Fromm was subsequently arrested and transported to police headquarters where she was able to post bail before she was released from police custody.
? On Aug. 22, Detective/Sgt Kyle Schwarzmann charged Crystal Farrell, 28, of Randolph, with theft subsequent to further investigation that began earlier in August when it was reported by a Jay Street resident that Farrell had taken jewelry, cash, cosmetics and prescription pills when visiting the residence.
? At 9:08 p.m. on Aug. 23, John W. Dewitt, 52, of Rockaway was charged by Officer Martin Padalino for theft. The arrest came subsequent to further investigation into a victim's lost credit card where it had been fraudulently utilized by the defendant at a local convenience store. Dewitt also had an outstanding Parsippany Twp Municipal Court warrant ($250 bail). Dewitt was served his complaint and released with a court date.
? On Tuesday, Officer Peter Krowiak charged Felipe De Jesus Cruz Osario, 36, of Parsippany, with driving while intoxicated after a motor vehicle stop on Route 46 East for failing to maintain its lane and equipment violations where further investigation lead to the arrest. The defendant was served with four motor vehicle summons, and released to a family member, with a future court date.
? On Tuesday, Officer James Lommatzsch charged William F. Payne Jr., 35, of Brooklyn, N.Y. with identity theft, criminal attempt, and possession of false government documents after an investigation revealed that Payne attempted to withdrawal $3,900 from a local bank using the false identification. Investigation further revealed that Payne attempted to withdrawal money from the same bank at several different branches. A warrant, along with a court date, was sent to the Morris County Correctional Facility as a further detainer for Payne, who is currently incarcerated on other charges.

Volunteers make NBCR what it is. Our volunteers are a wonderful group of caring, compassionate, professional women and men. Most have full-time jobs. Everyone is very appreciative of one another and just wants what is best for our kitties. Our goal is to save as many kitties as we can and help find them the homes they all deserve. (Download a Volunteer Application.)
Although there is not a lot of turnover, there's always more work to do. If you'd like to volunteer your time, here are the categories of activities where we could use the help.
Cage Cleaners
Cage cleaners are always in demand as they help keep the adoption center looking great. We have cage cleaners come in twice a day. Most morning cage cleaners come in before 11am and evening cage cleaners come in after 5pm. As each cage is cleaned the kitty comes out to explore, play with toys and use scratching posts. Cleaners sanitze the cage, shake out the beds and provide clean bedding if needed, scoop the litterbox, and give the kitty fresh food and water. We train each person for this posistion, and while it isn't the easiest job, it certainly has it's rewards! You get one-on-one time with the kitties and who appreciates a clean enviornment as much as a cat?
Foster parents take cat(s) into their home on a temporary basis. There are several reasons fosters are needed including giving a kitty a break from PetSmart, giving the kitty more socialization, caring for nursing mothers and kittens or weaned kittens not yet ready for adoption, or housing a cat until a cage opens up at PetSmart. For more details on fostering and our requirements, see the Fostering page.
Adoption Counselors
Adoption Counselors are present to help families find the right kitty for thier homes/lifestyles and vice versa. Adoptions are held every Saturday from 11am to 4pm and Sunday from 12pm to 4pm. During that time potential adopters can meet different kitties and if a good match is made, will be required to fill out an adoption application, pay the adoption fee and make arrangements to take home their new bundle of joy. Adoption Counselors also help maintain cages throughout the day, play with the cats and educate the public about the importance of spay/neuter.
Also Needed:
We also need people who can pick up, launder, and return the bedding.
If you want to volunteer, please complete and submit our Volunteer Application Form. If you would like to scan in and email your application, please email it to firstname.lastname@example.com. Alternatively, you can mail in your applications to: New Beginnings Cat Rescue, PO Box 833723, Richardson, TX 75083-3723
The volunteer coordinator will contact you to arrange an interview.
If you don't have the time, but would like to donate monetarily, please visit our donation page.

Ok sorry fellas I didn't see the deadline, but sent my ballot to The Greek on Sunday. Of course that means that I have Tenn still in the top 25, but didn't update my ballot. For that purpose I will put the ballot I submitted to the Greek here. After the game on Monday I would take Tenn out of the top 25 and probably insert UCLA at 25. The polls are so fluid here, that the bottom 5 or so will be tough to rank at this point in the season.
Without further adeu....
Name: bigtenboy07
1. Georgia- Nothing out of the ordinary for the Dawgs. The offense looked good, and Caleb King and Knowshon Moreno will be a tough combo at RB. It seems that the points were scored once the first team left the field. Which doesn't give me too much concern about UGA's D.
2. Ohio State- Everything was going very well for the Buckeyes until Beanie Wells went down. Without contact the injury still has many puzzled. The Buckeyes defense looked very good (giving up 74 yards albeit to YSU). What didn't look great for the Buckeyes was their red zone offense having to settle for FGs 3 times and twice when they had first and goal. Perhaps that can be attributed to rust, but against better teams they will have to cash those into TDs.
3. USC- USC was flat out impressive. I don't think UVA is a very good squad but going there and destroying them was impressive. Sanchez looked outstanding and that stable of backs including Gable and McKnight seem very impressive. USC scored 7 TDs…and no one scored more than 1. Look out for the weapons out there on the west coast. They will have a week off before the Buckeyes come to the Left Coast.
4. Oklahoma- Chattanooga isn't a very good way to judge Oklahoma (neither are most of the opening games) but Oklahoma did what they were supposed to do. Winning 50-0 at halftime is pretty impressive. The offense appears crisp, and they seem poised to make a run at the Big 12 title.
5. Florida- The offense seemed to struggle for the first quarter, but more than made up for that in the latter part of the game. Tebow didn't have to do as much as he did last year, and the parts around Tebow appear to be outstanding. Good news for Gator fans is that FLA had a couple of picks and a good punt return from Brandon James. An improved defense could mean a monster squad in the Swamp.
6. Missouri- Missouri played a pretty good Illinois squad and scored almost at will. The offense with Chase Daniel, Chase Coffman, and Jeremy Maclin along with an impressive showing from their RBs make their offense one of the most potent in the country. The defense with 10 returning starters looks pretty good even though Juice carved them up a bit.
7. WVU- Pat White showed that he throw the football. Albeit against Villanova (and no this isn't basketball). The Stewart era seemed to get off to a pretty good start although it is a little concerning that Villanova scored 21 points on the WVU defense (especially with a couple of tough games coming up).
8. Auburn- The last time that UL Monroe came into Bama they won (although it was against Alabama) not so much this time. Auburn plays very good defense and it may take a little longer for their new spread offense to begin clicking.
9. Texas- Colt McCoy looked very good both passing and rushing the football. A resurgence of Colt McCoy could make Texas a tough team to contend with. Texas honored Vince Young during the game, will McCoy be honoring the Texas faithful with a big bowl win…who knows?
10. LSU- LSU played a game in very difficult circumstances. The players had to be worried about their families, homes, and the imminent arrival of Gustav. That said the defense looked strong and fast. The D-Line may be the nastiest I have ever seen. The offense looked vanilla and Charles Scott filled in very nicely. The question at QB still looms against more difficult defenses.
11. Kansas- The Jayhawks? Yes those Jayhawks. They move up in the rankings mostly because of a terrible performance by Clemson.
12. Texas Tech- Graham Harrell was lighting up the scoreboard just as he did in 2007. He threw for right around 500 yards and a couple of scores. Crabtree again played very well. The questions don't lie with the offense, they can score on everyone. The question comes when the other team has the ball. Can the Red Raiders stop the other guys enough to win the big games?
13. Wisconsin- Wisconsin imposed their will running for 400 yards. PJ Hill was dominant running for over 200 yards. Akron isn't a great football team, but Wisconsin took it to them. The Badgers will have to continue to run the ball and supplement it with the pass. Evridge looked pretty good in his debut, although he didn't have to do much. Wisconsin can't look ahead to Fresno State just yet…they have to handle Marshall first.
14. Arizona State- Rudy Carpenter is a solid QB who could lead the Sun Devils to a couple of big wins. They will have to be ready quickly as UGA comes to visit the desert.
15. BYU- The Cougars had no issue with Northern Iowa. Hall was throwing the ball all over the yard. The question in part will be their defense and they way they handle the success of being the Non-BCS darling.
16. Tennessee- How will they perform on Monday?
17. Alabama- I believe the phrase is 'Roll Tide'. The Tide did just that and rolled over Clemson. Bama's D held the explosive duo of Spiller and Davis to nearly nothing. JPW carved the Clemson D and the Big Freshman Jones tore up the secondary and appears to be a physical monster. Bama could be a serious contender in the SEC West but will have to finally beat Auburn (for the first time in recent memory).
18. South Florida- South Florida played well, and appear to the only other hope for the Big East. Pitt was embarrassed by a MAC team at home. Matt Grothe is a good QB who could lead the Bulls to a very successful season in the Big East. George Selvie is a beast on the end…and can bring the heat for the Bulls D.
19. Penn State- They played Coastal Carolina…wow. The Lions were pretty good throughout the game though. The rushing attack with Royster looked good and Clark still has to prove that he can throw the football enough to keep the defense honest. Williams and Norwood will have to step up at the WR spot to help Clark.
20. Fresno State- Can they handle Rutgers?
21. Wake Forest- The Deacons headed down to Texas and demolished the Baylor Bears. The offense is good, and the defense appears strong. It just doesn't seem right that Wake would be good at football…but they really are. Believe in them.
22. Illinois- A team without a win cracks the top 25. They played a very tough Missouri team and handled themselves well. A couple of times the game could have gotten out of hand, but didn't. The defense looked tired against the spread. However the offense looked good and Juice Williams being able to throw the ball could be serious trouble for other teams on their schedule.
23. Cincinnati- Can Ben get a 6th year of eligibility? It could go a long way in determining how the Bearcats do in the Big East.
24. Oregon- The Ducks are down to their 10th QB…ok it just seems like it. It will be interesting to see how they play that offense without the protypical run QB.
25. East Carolina- Skip Holtz got his team prepared and took down the mighty VT. They looked sloppy throughout the game, but still handled the Hokies. The Hokies however appear to have little to no depth/talent at WR, and Glennon appears to not be ready for the starting job…lose that redshit Taylor.
Out of the rankings: Clemson (11 last week), VA Tech (19), Pittsburgh (20).
New Arrivals: Alabama (17), Oregon (24), East Carolina (25)
POW: Juice Williams, Illinois. Juice had a great game against a tough Missouri defense and kept the Illini in the game. Juice threw the ball 42 times connecting 26 times. He threw for 451 yards and 5 TD's. Juice had two INTs and one was ripped from his WR. A very good game for Juice who has shown that he can throw the ball a little bit which will make him a much more dangerous player. Playing a tough opponent allows Juice to get my vote for POW.

SCIENCE HILL, Ky. (WYMT) - There's concern in one Pulaski County neighborhood over a man that some say is asking children to do obscene things.
The Pulaski County Sheriff tells us they are looking into reports of a man in a black car, driving around the Science Hill area, offering to pay children twenty dollars to expose themselves.
One woman told us her 5 and 6 year old children were asked to put on diapers in front of the man.
The woman says she is concerned that the man may try to abduct children.
We're continuing to track this story and we'll have much more later today.

Although there is no doubt that Sandy is a basher of this Company, CEO, and directors I have never read where she ever mentioned any 5%. ownership. I don't agree with anyone bashing a stock that they own, in fact, IMO it's downright stupid. So Sandy either doesn't own any shares and got burnt by these people in the past and we have a vendetta happening. Jesse also doesn't give out any positive vibes for an alleged self proclaimed shareholder. As I said before, like using your own foot for target practice.
I think it would be more constructive for you, Venture, to quit jumping on the backs of people who don't agree with you and stick to posting facts. As a long time shareholder who has averaged down and would like to realize some paltry return, your attitude doesn't bring any confidence to me at least. Just saying.

Low Cost Seastead

This topic contains 32 replies, has 5 voices, and was last updated by Anonymous 7 years, 3 months ago.

I just thought I would share my latest thoughts on low cost seasteads . As usual, the raw material is in the wiki so people can fix obvious problems. General discussion, seems to work better on a dedicated forum thread — hence this post.
It should be no surprise to anybody that I am thinking in terms of a smallish truss-spar design. Read the wiki page for more detail. If anybody who is skilled with 3D modelers wants to try drawing the thing, I would be deeply indebted to you.August 20, 2008 at 10:16 pm #3604
I'm guessing the main purpose of these low cost seasteads would be a more direct commercially operated platform for recreational activities, fishing, diving, boating ect. Rather than a long term seastead solution.
I'm no engineer but the theory looks solid. How many people could each one support? And at what length of endurance.August 20, 2008 at 11:13 pm #3605
The purpose of a low cost seastead is to expand the number of people who want to give it a try.August 20, 2008 at 11:28 pm #3606
I like it. This should make for a lighter structure overall – lighter ballast neccessary, less structure needed underwater – thus making it cheaper. It will probably be more prone to bobbing up and down than a full size (and overall denser) spar, but should be ok with respect to rotational movements. I´m not entirely clear how the wires will function though, and having the ballast function as a air chamber, although clever, and probably useful, could present some problems with complexity and/or rust inspections. I guess you could build a really simple version with the truss made of just welded L-profile steel (like a power pylon) and a stack of square (or whatever shapes are available on the market, this shouldn´t matter all that much) steel plates as the ballast though.
Another benefit of this design is that you get rid of (and don´t have to pay for) all that internal space far below the water surface (in a full length spar) where noone would like to live anyway.
This should also be easier to tow and move, with the hollow truss producing less drag than a spar.August 21, 2008 at 4:15 pm #3607
I like it, too. This will add an entirely new level of people willing to join this movement. A 1500 sq. ft. dwelling that can survive a hurricane is great all by itself. Apart from new governments, I can see something like this being implimented just off shore of major population centers. The benefits of everything. I am really digging this design.August 23, 2008 at 1:21 pm #3608
This seems indeed like the most affordable design imaginable, and it seems like it would work well also.
This design is the one most similar to a ship, so lit lends itself well to comparisons with it. The two things that sets it apart from a ship are extra stabilization and a hull aimed at low cost construction, both at a sacrifice of manoevrability and speed. An excellent tradeoff given the different design requirements compared to a ship.
I could do some solidworks modelling, to give a feel of the dimensions and some possible implementations of this concept, but as i explained eariler, no pretty pictures unfortunately. If you are interested, let me know.August 23, 2008 at 7:11 pm #3609
It is really hard to describe the cable truss…
Please do the following. Take two equilateral triangles. Position one triangle above the other, but rotate it by 60 degrees. Now connect 6 rigid struts between triangle vertices. Now place a few more of equilateral triangles above the ones you have, rotating each equilateral triangle by 60 degrees.
For the cable truss, the equilateral triangles are mounted on the vertical pipe. The rigid trusses above are replaced by 6 stainless steel cables.
I have tried to draw this on a piece of paper and it completely exceeds my ability to draw it.August 23, 2008 at 7:13 pm #3610
This structure will have a deep draft due to the truss and ballast/damper. It may not be possible to bring these all too close to shore.
I can imagine a structure where the truss can be raised an lowered, but the complexity of such a design gives me the creeps.August 23, 2008 at 8:38 pm #3611
I was able to coax some software into drawing a rough picture of the basic idea. The image is attached to the main wiki page.
If people have better drawing skills than me, I will not be upset if they draw a better picture.August 23, 2008 at 8:43 pm #3612
My attitude is that if we can not design something that is better than a boat for our application, then people will simply buy boats instead. (I know that is what I would do!) The goal is to lower cost with improved comfort and safety with respect to boats.)
Another key concept behind this design is that is meant to be mass produced. The concrete forms for the living structure could be used over and over again. A jig could for the truss/ballast/damper could be easily assembled to make truss/ballast/damper construction really easy. I can imagine a factory that grinds these babies out at a rate of 2 or 3 per week.August 23, 2008 at 10:45 pm #3613
I saw your sketchup drawing now. That is some pretty funky design. Why do you feel this is better than a regular "truss-like" truss (i.e. like a power line tower)? I am asking because this seems like the most obvious, simplest and cheapest choice to me.August 23, 2008 at 11:10 pm #3614
It needn´t be that deep. If the cylinder is half submerged and we assume equal density throughout it should stay upright with the lightest of ballasts, and only a small leverage arm. If the roof is 3m above the sea (the top floor in the air and the bottom floor submerged, total 6m/20feet cylinder height ) I´m sure you could get away with like three times that below the sea as leverage. So, 9m(27feet) draft.
edit: Now I´m somewhat unsure whether my buoyancy logic above holds true… about the average density of the cylinder. It must be less than water anyway, for a number of reasons (like not sinking…).
A buoyancy program that lets you design simple shapes and experiment with CG, density etc would be very useful for these excercises…August 24, 2008 at 6:30 am #3615
My cable truss may be too cute. It may be the case that a more normal truss structure is less expensive. Suffice to say, minimizing truss cost is paramount. By minimizing cost, I include both material and labor cost.August 24, 2008 at 6:43 am #3616
Just like a boat, the interior is mostly filled with air. Even though concrete is denser than water, the exterior shell is not heavy compared to the amount of water being displaced.
A spread sheet would really help out here.August 24, 2008 at 11:58 am #3617
Its not really a pivotal feature of the concept. The space between the hull and the ballast needs to be bridged in a rigid fashion. Hard to tell which way is best without narrowing down on the static and dynamic loads this thing is going to have to deal with.
The forum 'Structure Designs' is closed to new topics and replies.

Interacting with women was not always easy for Carbeau. He spent his formative adolescent years at an English private boarding school with no female classmates. Although he had female friends after he left school, he was always frustrated by his inability to develop romantic relationships with women he found attractive.
Then Carbeau attended a Love Systems bootcamp with Braddock and The Don and what they taught him completely changed his life. He realized that, like many guys, he already possessed many of the skills needed to attract women – he just did not have a framework which he could use to pull it all together.
As a Love Systems Instructor, Carbeau specialized in Inner Game, Approach Anxiety, and Day Game.
