Title V permits are required to be renewed every five years, as specified in Title 30 Texas Administrative Code §§ 122.241 and 122.505. State and federal regulations also require permit holders to submit timely and complete permit applications between 6 and 18 months prior to the expiration date of the permit. The regulations further define a complete application as one that has been received at least 60 days without request for additional information or notification of incompleteness. Unlike state new source review permit renewals, submittal of Title V renewal applications at any time prior to permit expiration will not necessarily provide continuing authorization to operate. To provide this coverage, the submittal must be complete, and it must arrive at the agency between 6 and 18 months before the permit's expiration date.
The APD will process and take final action on timely applications, and receipt of a timely and complete application will allow permit holders to operate beyond the permit's expiration until a final action is taken on the application. Untimely or incomplete applications, however, or failure to apply at all, will result in the loss of the permit holder's authorization to operate after the expiration date of the permit. In this case, permit holders will also lose the opportunity to renew their permits, and will have to reapply for a new permit and authorization to operate. These outcomes are prescribed in Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 70, and the agency has no discretion in the matter.
Advisories will be distributed through various media available. Besides posting to this site, distribution will also occur through e-mail notices to, and meetings with, the Title V stakeholders; publication in the TCEQ Natural Outlook newsletter; speaking opportunities at public and industry group meetings and at agency sponsored seminars; and by agency notification letters to permit holders. These letters will be sent out approximately 18 months and again at approximately 12 months before the permit actually expires, advising of renewal requirements and upcoming permit expiration. A reminder to submit the renewal application, along with an explanation of the consequence of failure to do so, will be included in these notifications.
If you have questions contact us.]]>
This guide will be distributed and explained at the free workshops.
The workshops will provide operators, administrators, council members, and others with useful tools, resources, and an opportunity to begin asset management planning, which leads to better financial decisions that can help stop the costly cycle resulting from reacting to crisis situations.
Workshop presenters will demonstrate how to develop an asset inventory, how to prioritize needed repairs or replacement of assets, how to prepare a budget to determine how much money is needed to support the utility, and how to ensure the system is sustainable for the long term. Operators will earn 3.5 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for attending a workshop.

In September 2000, the TCEQ and the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board initiated an innovative project to reduce phosphorus levels in the North Bosque and Leon River watersheds. Stormwater runoff containing manure from dairy farms has been a significant source of phosphorus in the two watersheds.
In November 2000, the TSSWCB's Dairy Manure Export Support (DMES) project created incentives for the transport of manure from dairies in the North Bosque and Leon River watersheds to composting facilities, where it is turned from waste into a beneficial product. The composting process reduces the volume of manure by roughly half. The composted manure can then be hauled to other watersheds for use as a soil amendment.
Between November 1, 2000, and August 31, 2006, the TCEQ's Composted Manure Incentive Project (CMIP) issued rebates to governmental entities for purchases of composted manure. The TCEQ also gave technical and marketing assistance to participating manure composters.
Both the DMES and CMIP projects received their primary financial support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under Clean Water Act Section 319(h).
The compost program grew significantly from the time it became operational in November, 2000, through August, 2006, when the CMIP ended.
Since the programs' primary focus has been addressing the impairment of the North Bosque River, the removal of manure from that watershed was documented thoroughly. Through August 31, 2006, the DMES had delivered more than 650,000 tons of dairy manure from the North Bosque watershed to participating compost facilities. As of the same date, the CMIP had supported the export of more than 329,000 tons of dairy manure from the watershed in the form of compost, thus removing more than 1.48 million pounds of phosphorus from the watershed.
1 One ton of dairy manure as delivered, at approx. 50% moisture, yields approx. one cubic yard of compost.
2 Solid manure excludes manure flushed to lagoons.
The line in the figure representing 50 percent of manure generated in the watershed shows an upward trend in fiscal 2006 because the number of cattle in the watershed increased during that period. The bars representing total sales and exports of composted manure also show an upward trend in fiscal 2006, due in part to intensive TCEQ marketing and promotion efforts in the final year. These efforts included a supplemental rebate program, available on a limited basis to large-scale non-governmental compost users, as well as demonstration of compost erosion control and reclamation practices at Fort Hood and in rock quarries in Texas.
The CMIP rebate and technical assistance program ended on August 31, 2006. Compost sales and export totals are not available to extend this chart beyond fiscal 2006. The CMIP met its goal of removing at least 50 percent of solid cattle manure from CAFOs in fiscal 2003, 2004, and 2006, with a slight shortfall in fiscal 2005 (see figure).
As of the end of August, 2007—a full year after the end of the CMIP rebate program and six months after the end of the DMES manure hauling reimbursement—the five compost facilities that participated in the final years of the program were still in operation, actively composting and exporting composted manure from the watershed.
The Texas Department of Transportation uses the compost throughout the state to promote roadside vegetation, thus helping prevent NPS pollution from highway runoff—another benefit from the project. TxDOT participated in the CMIP by creating a special specification for the composted manure from the CMIP watersheds, by instituting an internal promotion and tracking system for roadside uses of this material, and by conducting workshops, trainings, demonstrations, and research trials involving its use. Other state and local government markets for the composted manure were also explored and developed.
The TCEQ and its Clean Rivers Program partner, the Brazos River Authority, are monitoring water quality in the North Bosque and Leon Rivers to assess the impact of runoff from dairies and to verify whether composting and export of manure result in improved water quality.
Other project management and implementation partners include Texas Cooperative Extension, the University of Texas, the Texas Transportation Institute, and the Texas Institute for Applied Environmental Research. Partial funding came from federal nonpoint source grants from the EPA.

The Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Commission's portion of the project, the Dairy Manure Export Support project, handled the first part of the process—removing the manure. The DMES project gives incentives for the transporting of surplus manure from dairy farms in portions of the North Bosque and Leon River watersheds to compost facilities.
The export of the composted manure and the nutrients contained in it helped address concerns in the region about nonpoint source impacts associated with land application of manure. The project also aided in achieving the target for nutrient-load reduction established in the Implementation Plan for North Bosque River Total Maximum Daily Loads.
The initial amount of manure targeted for transport from dairy farms in the area was 300,000 tons. Hauling under the DMES project grew much faster than originally anticipated. As of August 31, 2006, more than 907,000 tons had been hauled to commercial composting facilities from both watersheds. This prevented the land application of an estimated 4 million pounds of phosphorus in the project area. These results are indicative of the popularity of the program with the dairy industry in the area.
Return to top
The CMIP ensured that manure at the composting facilities was properly processed and contained, and that it did not worsen existing water quality problems.
During the early stages of the project, the TCEQ NPS Program developed guidance, site criteria, and reporting forms for participating compost operators. Six composting facilities were approved under provisional guidelines and began receiving shipments of manure from local dairies. TCEQ personnel gave technical assistance on compost-production techniques to the facility operators, none of whom had previous experience with large-scale composting.
In addition to technical assistance, the TCEQ enforced CMIP program requirements through permits. The TCEQ made site visits to participating compost facilities to verify that they followed appropriate practices and that stormwater controls, like lagoons and berms, were properly installed and maintained.
Compost facilities were required to participate in the CMIP to qualify for the compost rebate and so that manure deliveries they received were eligible for the DMES hauling reimbursement.
Return to top
All existing and proposed composting facilities in Texas that compost manure from registered or permitted livestock facilities must receive authorization under a wastewater permit before releasing wastewater from the compost site. "Wastewater" includes any stormwater that comes within the composting area and that could come in contact with raw or composted manure.
The general permit authorizes the disposal of wastewater from manure composting facilities only through irrigation or by evaporation. These facilities are not authorized to discharge a flow of wastewater into a waterway. They are required to supply design documentation, certified by an engineer, that their use of the wastewater in irrigation will not allow pollutants to reach waterways and that their wastewater ponds are capable of retaining the expected site wastewater without overflowing.
If all stormwater that falls in the composting area is captured and stored securely on site for use only in composting, there is no need for a wastewater permit. However, composting facilities that participated in this grant project were required to supply certified design documentation establishing that they would prevent any discharges of wastewater, even if their designs made irrigation unnecessary and would therefore make them exempt from the permitting requirement.
TCEQ staff developed the statewide Manure Composting General Permit WQG200000 to streamline the authorization of facilities that agree to operate under the stringent restrictions required in this grant project. Qualifying facilities operated under the requirements of this general permit, without the expense and delay required to receive approval for an individual wastewater permit.
The TCEQ adopted the general permit in October 2002; it is due for renewal or revision in October 2007. The forms for applying to operate under the permit and an explanation of the process are available from the Storm Water & Pretreatment Team via e-mail and on the Web page about applying for the general permit.

Under the CMIP program, the TCEQ funded activities that helped assure the continued export of manure from the Bosque and Leon River watersheds beyond the end of the project. The TCEQ has worked to promote awareness of composted manure as a soil amendment and to stimulate markets among government agencies.
To encourage the use of composted manure, the CMIP offered a $5 rebate for every cubic yard of eligible compost purchased by Texas state agencies, local governments, and other eligible users until August 31, 2005. The TCEQ continued this rebate at a reduced rate of $4 per cubic yard until August 31, 2006.
A program offered under the CMIP beginning in 2004 gave a rebate to agricultural producers, compost retailers, and some other private users who bought composted manure from participating facilities.
The Texas Department of Transportation continues to spread the word about the benefits of using compost in highway projects to its district personnel, contractors, and other interested parties. Information about TxDOT's demonstration and use of compost appears at the TxDOT Web site .
Return to top
For more than 10 years, the TCEQ's Small Business and Environmental Assistance (SBEA) program has reached out and supplied technical assistance in the use of compost. Even before the CMIP began, SBEA was offering TxDOT and other agencies workshops, demonstrations of the use of compost, and technical assistance.
Under the CMIP, expanded SBEA outreach included workshops, demonstrations, and technical assistance specifically addressing the benefits, opportunities, and incentives for using composted manure through the CMIP.
The CMIP also funded a major Texas Cooperative Extension education and marketing campaign for composted manure, surveying existing and potential markets for composted manure in the region, focusing the campaign on those markets, and conducting field trials and demonstrations to document and publicize the effectiveness of the appropriate uses of composted manure in a wide array of landscaping, horticultural, and agricultural applications.
Return to top
The CMIP began in November 2000. As of August 31, 2006, it had recorded sales of over 575,000 cubic yards of manure compost. Approximately 78 percent (over 468,000 cubic yards) went to beneficial uses outside the North Bosque and Leon watersheds, which equates to more than 2 million lbs of phosphorus exported from the two watersheds.
Export of more than 329,000 tons of manure from the North Bosque watershed alone removed more than 1.48 million lbs of phosphorus from the area and came close to meeting the TMDL I-Plan goal for 2003–2006 (see figure).
The CMIP documented the sale and export of composted manure specifically from North Bosque watershed dairies at or near 50% of the total solid CAFO manure generated in the watershed from fiscal 2003 through 2006.
Read the final report for the project.
Return to top
TxDOT, as expected, proved to be the largest governmental purchaser of compost by far over the course of the project. As of August 31, 2006, TxDOT had purchased and used more than 240,000 cubic yards of composted manure from the facilities participating in the CMIP, exceeding its original goal. TxDOT continues to incorporate composted manure its into new projects. TxDOT uses compost for erosion control and establishing vegetation in both construction and maintenance activities.
TxDOT specifications for use of compost by its districts cover proper application and use of compost for controlling erosion and sedimentation, and for establishing vegetation on roadsides after construction and maintenance. Copies of the specifications for furnishing and placing compost and for compost-mulch filter berms , along with other information about TxDOT's use of compost , is available on their website.
TxDOT has adopted new specifications for compost products which require routine product testing and certification of products through the U.S. Composting Council's Seal of Testing Assurance program.
The TCEQ has developed a set of resources and regulatory guidance on the use of compost and mulch to prevent erosion, control sediment, and promote re-vegetation.
Return to top
The TCEQ and the Brazos River Authority developed a water quality monitoring strategy for the North Bosque and Leon watersheds to measure short-term improvements in water quality attributable to the removal and composting of manure. The results of these and other activities are described in an annual status report on water quality in the North Bosque watershed.
Return to top
The TCEQ produces an annual "Status Report on Water Quality in the North Bosque River." The status report includes a map of the watershed and graphs that show annual average concentrations of key water quality constituents over time.

The Shakespeare-inspired Elvis Presley pastiche All Shook Up is too inconsequential and ridiculous - gloriously so - to feature anything resembling a moral. But if pressed, you could probably fashion one from the words of its motorcycle-riding hero, Chad: "It's like my daddy used to say: 'In the right light, with the right liquor, anyone can fall for anyone.'"

Chris Walljasper isn't exactly a new face in area theatre, as the actor (and recent co-founder of Davenport's Harrison Hilltop Theatre) appeared in Genesius Guild's and Opera@Augustana's Patience last year summer, the Circa '21 Dinner Playhouse's Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story this past winter, and, most memorably, Carousel and A Year with Frog & Toad for Rock Island's The Green Room.
Yet it's entirely conceivable that audiences for the Playcrafters Barn Theatre's Promises, Promises will watch his performance and, on the drive home, ask one another, "Who was that guy?", because Walljasper is delivering the sort of terrifically engaging and endearing musical-comedy turn that makes you wonder why you haven't seen even more of him.

Milam's Market
Supermarket cheese sections often are criticized for their shrink-wrap items, mass-produced and factory-packaged hunks of cheese that taste like so much sawdust. We're not going to lie: Milam's has some of that stuff in stock. But it also has cheese that's been cut from an actual wheel on the actual premises -- Jarlsberg that's still fresh enough to be pliable, bufala mozzarella so new it's still coming together as a curd. In addition the gourmet market carries some harder-to-source products, including white Stilton with apricots and kasseri, a malleable, just-pungent Greek cheese that too often falls under the shadow of its sister feta's salad fame. And then of course there are the cheese-board byproducts: smoked mackerel, sopressata and other Italian sausages, and dips the likes of jerk shrimp with black bean or chicken with lemon-cilantro. So you'll pay a little more for indulging your superior dairy cravings, both in the wallet and in the waist. Talk to the hand. It's wielding the cheese knife.

Nepal fundraiser at Quiznos Santa Clara
All day today, Thursday, sandwiches, salads and beverages purchased at Quizno's in Santa Clara will benefit Nepalese earthquake victims.
Franchise owner Kewal Shrestha is a native of Nepal and still has relatives in that country.
"As the earthquake occurred, Shrestha was video chatting with his parents and was able to see the devastation firsthand," a company spokeswoman reported. "Through this personal connection, Shrestha is committed to raising funds to assist in the rebuilding efforts and hopes Quiznos fans in Santa Clara will join him."
Fifty percent of proceeds will go toward Nepalese relief. Customers may also add their thoughts to a "wall of support" that will be set up outside the eatery.
The Santa Clara Quiznos is at 495 El Camino Real.
Sunset magazine's final Menlo Park celebration
Every year, Sunset magazine — devoted to the topic of "Western living" — throws open the gates of its spacious grounds and invites the public in for a weekend of cooking demos, wine tastings, garden seminars, home decor exhibits, even tours of its test kitchens.
This year's event, scheduled for June 6-7, will be the final Sunset Celebration Weekend — at least at the magazine's iconic six-acre Menlo Park property. The land has been sold, and the staff will be moving to an as-yet-undisclosed site in the Bay Area later this year. Whether the magazine will continue to host such an event (or will even have the space to do so), remains to be seen, a Sunset spokeswoman said.
So you can bet this year's finale will be a blockbuster. Already booked for culinary seminars are more chefs than ever before.
Economic Impact Of California Beer
Economic Impact: In 2014 craft beer contributed more than $6.5 billion to the economy of California. That's up 18% from 2013. That's a fairly conservative number and they'll have a more accurate and most likely higher numbers in June when the full report is finished. The craft beer industry in California has a higher economic impact than any other state in the US.

Travel top 10: Most popular summer destinations
Where is everyone heading this summer? Orbitz has released its Summer Insider Index based on bookings made on the website for travel from June 1 to Aug. 31.
So far, Las Vegas has maintained its top spot. But destinations in sun-soaked Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Florida dominate the list with five spots, perhaps a reflection of the brutal winter endured by East Coast and Midwest residents in the United States.
London, home of the new princess with three names (Charlotte Elizabeth Diana) ranks No. 5. And Paris, which Orbitz reports is looking more affordable than usual this summer, comes in at No. 9.
Wings, beer deal for Mayweather-Pacquiao fight

We perused the brew list, and it sounds like Three Pepper Ale might pack a punch. Pun intended!
Buyers will also get a chance to predict the winner of the match. If you choose correctly, you can redeem your card for a free entree from May 3-9.
Meantime, you can read here about Pacman fever sweeping the Filipino community in the Bay Area.
New in Walnut Creek: Main Street Kitchen
In Walnut Creek, local residents and restaurateurs Arash and Lauren Ghasemi have fulfilled a long-held dream with their new farm-to-table eatery, Main Street Kitchen.
For several years, the Ghasemis have been serving breakfast and lunch to government workers at their Cafe 15 in downtown Oakland. Now they are at it seven days a week, with chef Arash changing up the menu almost daily.
An inaugural lineup featured a springtime salad of local English peas, bacon, potatoes, onions, hearts of romaine and blue cheese; line-caught swordfish and leg of lamb as entrees, served with lentils, fava leaves and snap peas; and lemon creme brulee for dessert.
Mountain Dew moonshine??
Add this to the "what were they thinking?" file, occupied earlier this week by Budweiser's appalling "removing 'no' from your vocabulary for the night" campaign. That one was abandoned after Twitter and other social media exploded with protests about Budweiser being "the proud sponsor of rape culture" and drunk driving.
By those standards, this is small potatoes. Or rather, small soda. But it's still disturbing to see Mountain Dew, the caffeinated fave for so many teens, marketing its newest beverage with moonshine. The ad (check it out below) is set in the Tennessee backwoods where "rebels" are making barrels of "rebel spirits," loading bottles into a vintage pickup and then driving away as the driver tips back a cold one. The original Mountain Dew, we're told, was made just like that and now, Mtn Dew DEWshine is "available legally for the first time."
We weren't the only ones confused about whether there's alcohol in DEWshine. (We asked. There isn't.) Numerous commenters on the YouTube post asked the same question. "It may not be alcoholic, but they're trying to capitalize on that alcoholic vibe," John Jenkins commented. Yes, they are. With a drinking driver, yet. Thoughts? Share them below.
Travel top 10: 'Diamonds in the rough' destinations
The editors at TripAdvisor analyzed all their 2014 vacation rental scores to find the U.S. towns rich in culture, history, scenery, family-friendly activities — and, naturally, good places to stay.
To be considered for their "Diamonds in the Rough" list, towns had to have received at least 500 reviews.
Coming out on top was Taos, New Mexico, which TripAdvisor described as "a charming pet-friendly town known for its Spanish influence and picturesque scenery … lending itself to incredible outdoor adventures like climbing, hiking, kayaking, zip lines, horseback or llama treks."
Boone, North Carolina, was No. 2, and three California destinations ranked in the top 13. Have you vacationed at those recently? If so, click on comments and share your favorites.

0km - So, there will be no change whatsoever in the top three tonight - but Cadel Evans will drop considerably down the standings after his terrible day.
0km - Here come the three top men in the GC: Nibali leads them over, with Wiggins and Froome right in his wheel 7:12 down on Voeckler.
0km - Dan Martin crosses the line 6:10 down to lead in a cluster of riders from that initial break away group.
0km - Next up: Jens Voigt, the German veteran, who crosses the line 4:20 down.
0km - Vino loses his footing on a pedal and will lose out on the third place. Izagirre frosses the line 3:25 down for third, with Vino right behind. Brice Feillu takes fifth place, 3:58 down.
0km - Here comes Chris Anker Sorensen of Saxo Bank. It has been a fine ride from the Dane. He's 1:40 down.
0km - Voeckler milks the crowd - and quite rightly so - as he rides torwards the line. The arms are up, the tongue is out, the win is his!
0.5km - The Frenchman starts his celebrations on the tree-lined streets iof Bagneres-de-Luchon.
1km - Voeckler approaches the flamme rouge. He won here in 2010 and he's won again in 2012.
2km - Voeckler has 1:50 on Sorensen. The win is his.
3.5km - Nibali, Wiggins and Froome all descending together as a three. Meanwhile, Cadel Evans is still on the final climb. He's over four minutes down on the yellow jersey group.
4km - Voeckler is giving Sorensen no leeway on this descent. Excellent riding.
5km - Tomorrow is going to be a big battle for the polka dots tomorrow: there are just four points splitting Voeckler and Kessiakoff.
6km - Jurgen van den Broeck leads the chasing group over the summit 8:32 down. Cobo, Valverde, Zubeldia, Van Garderen are all here.
7km - Nibali leads Wiggins and Froome over the top: 7:45 down on Voeckler.
7.5km - Nibali attacks again! He opens up a gap but Wiggins leads the chase - great riding from the yellow jersey. They're approaching the summit now.
8km - Voeckler has 1:40 over Sorensen - the stage is surely his.
9km - Nibali looks like a man resigned to finishing third in Paris.
11km - Evans is now more than three minutes down on the yellow jersey trio.
12km - Sorensen won't give up but it will be hard for the Dane to return on Voeckler, who is a very strong descender.
14km - Nibali, Froome and yellow jersey Wiggins - the three best men in the race - ride together as one. They have a van den Broeck chasing group further down the road.
15km - Chris Anker Sorensen crosses the summit of the Peyresourde 1:28 down on Voeckler, who will surely win this stage now - unless he crashes on this fast descent.
15km - Thomas Voeckler makes it a full house: that's four summits our of four today as he crossed the Peyresourde: that's the polka dot jersey, and probably the stage win too.
16km - Froome and Wiggins are closing in on Nibali.
16km - Voeckler edges his way through the crowds of supporters near the top of the summit. He has about a minute over Sorensen.
16km - Sky respond with a double counter by Froome and Wiggins. Froom only has 18 seconds on Nibali in the GC so he's protecting himself as much as Wiggins.
17km - ATTACK: Vincenzo Nibali attacks!
17km - Voeckler zips up his jersey as the summit approaches. What a Tour he's having since the first rest day.
18km - Voeckler still holds a nine minute gap over the yellow jersey group.
18km - Richie Porte is trying to move onto the front, but Ivan Basso won't let him. Astana's Janez Brajkovic is struggling to stay on. It's his birthday today.
19km - Evans is well off the back now. Van Garderen continues - he has the white jersey to think about and BMC won't want to lose that too. White jersey youth standings
19km - Evans has popped again! Jelle Vanendert and Ivan Basso are driving a fast pace on the front and the Australian's testing day continues. Kessiakoff and Hoogerland are being caught by the pack now...
20km - Sorensen catches Feillu as Voeckler continues. But he still has four more kilometres of this climb - it's going to be a real duel between him and Sorensen for the polka dot jersey points. Sorensen has dropped Feillu now. This is fascinating.
21km - Chris Anker Sorensen has a dig and drops Vino and Izagirre. He can see Feillu up ahead now.
21km - The main peloton with the yellow jersey are onto the start of the Peyresourd. Further up the hill, Izagirre is riding back to Vinokourov and Sorensen. At the front, Voeckler picks up water from his team car.
22km - ATTACK: Voeckler rides away from Feillu. Now is the time I have to do it on my own, he thinks.
22km - Vino and Sorensen still can't quite see Feillu and Voeckler up ahead - but they're getting closer.
23km - Normality resumes on the front of the yellow jersey group: Rogers, Porte and Froome ahead of Wiggins. Then Basso leading Nibali.
23km - Izagirre has dropped Voigt, who is fighting back on. There is still the Kessiakoff group further down the road, behind which a blown out Dan Martin rides just ahead of the peloton.
24km - Vino and Sorensen up the tempo and drop Voigt and Izagirre.
24km - Evans is back with the yellow jersey group after some great pacing by his BMC team-mates. Will he be able to hold on over the next summit?
25km - The leaders are onto the final climb of the day, the Cat.1 Col de Peyresourde (1,569m) - a 9.5km-long climb at 6.7%.
26km - Thomas Voeckler has fond memories of Bagnere-de-Luchon: he won here back in 2010 on the Tour's last visit.
27km - Evans has three team-mates in support as he tries to return with the GC favourite. White jersey Tejay van Garderen is not one of them - he's with the yellow jersey group.
29km - Europcar's Christophe Kern has been caught after his earlier attack. He'll try hold on and work for Pierre Rolland. The gap is nine minutes now. Evans is still fighting to get back with the yellow jersey group, which is being led by Jurgen van den Broeck, who is eyeing a fourth place in the GC now that the defending champion is in trouble.
31km - Feillu and Voeckler only have 53 seconds on the chasing quartet now - it may yet still come back together.
32km - Voigt, miraculously, is now back with Vino and Sorensen. Izagirre is returning too. Perhaps he was just bluffing, not wanting to share the work load.
33km - Izagirre and Voigt do not have the legs and drop back, leaving Sorensen and Vino to lead the chase of the two leaders. Voeckler has dropped back to talk to his team car. Can Europcar take a third win today?
33km - The leaders are nearing the start of the final climb.
34km - We have four riders in pursuit of the two leaders: Voigt, Izagirre, Vinokourov and Sorensen. They are 1:17 down on Feillu and Voeckler.
37km - Nibali and Basso lead the yellow jersey over the summit of the Col d'Aspin. Evans is about 45 seconds down. He has Moinard with him from BMC.
38km - Basso is driving a fast pace for Nibali, who has Wiggins right on this wheel, pre-empting the likely dig. The lead of the French duo is down to 9:15 now.
40km - Evans well off the back now in a group of six riders including his team-mate Schar. In fact, Evans is being dropped by this group, with Montfort and Leipheimer pulling clear. BMC will be riding for van Garderen now, presumably.
42km - Cadel Evans struggling on the back of the yellow jersey group.
43km - With the peloton, it's Liquigas who have upped the pace - but as a result, all their own riders have been blown off: Nerz and Szmyd. Now there's just Basso and Nibali on the front, with those Sky riders coasting along behind.
45km - Voeckler could well be in polka dots tonight: he's now on 97 points with Kessiakoff on 102.
46km - More points for Voeckler over the top of the climb. The Europcar man picks up a water bottle before crossing the summit of the Col d'Aspin. Feillu refuses water as they start the descent. Points breakdown for the KOM coming up. Vino takes third place ahead of Sorensen and Voigt. The Kazakh has returned with the chasers just ahead of the summit.
47km - Now Liquigas come to the front of the peloton, pushing Sky back a bit. Perhaps Nibali will look to attack towards teh end of this climb and then edge further clear on the descent before the final climb. Boasson Hagen has finished his turn and dropped off the back of the bunch.
48km - Voigt and Sorensen can see Voeckler and Feillu in the distance as the road weaves around the side of the mountain. They are still more than a minute back.
49km - The peloton are onto the Col d'Aspin now, with Edvald Boasson Hagen leading Sky and the peloton onto the Cat.1 ascent.
49km - Jens Voigt and Chris Anker Sorensen pull clear of Vinokourov. The German veteran is riding like a man possessed. You can see the anger in his pedal strokes - presumably after the Frank Schleck controversy that marred RadioShack's rest day.
50km - Winner on Monday, Pierrick Fedrigo is swept up by the bunch. The Frenchman was in the initial break but will now struggle all the way to the finish.
50km - Vino and Sorensen pull clear, with Voigt in pursuit. Martin cannot keep up. The two leaders look very strong. They have 1:30 over the chasers and 10:12 over the pack.
51km - Dan Martin, who looked so strong at the start of the Tourmalet, has been caught by the Voigt group. They are seven-strong now: Sorensen, ten Dam, Vinokourov, Hincapie, Voigt, Martin and Kiryienka. Five riders are in pursuit: Martinez, Caruso, Izagirre, Kessiakoff, Stortoni.
52km - Feillu and Voeckler have 11:30 on the peloton. A Feillu win today would save Saur-Sojasun's Tour. Europcar have already netted two wins, plus another two top fives.
55km - Attack by Vinokourov! It looks like Kessiakoff has blown up. Voeckler wants Feillu to come through and help. He looks very erratic - and quite barmy. He appears to be talking to himself. His earpiece is not in, so he really is just chatting away. To himself.
56km - American George Hincapie is receiving treatment from the medical motorbike. He has a big cut to his left elbow and has ripped the top of his BMC shirt on his left shoulder. He has blood on his knees too. Nasty fall that. We didn't see it on TV but it must have been at speed on that descent.
57km - Voeckler and Feillu have 1:10 on Martin and 1:55 on the Kessiakoff chasing group. Kern has caught his Europcar team-mate Arashiro and the duo are riding at 7:35 with the rambling Sky ride rolling along at 10:10 with the peloton.
58km - The leading duo are onto the third climb of the day, the Cat.1 Col d'Aspin (1,489m) - a 12.4km-long climb at 4.8%.
60km - CRASH: George Hincapie falls onto his left-hand side but manages to get back with the chasing group.
66km - It's a mighty shame that a climb as brilliant as the Tourmalet has been treated with disdaid by the main pack - it's a mere procession, a training ride led by Sky.
67km - Feillu is not renowned for his descending and is really struggling to keep Voeckler in sight. Chapeau to the Frenchman: he's managed to return to his wheel. These two are going for broke today. For Voeckler, the prizes could be huge: a second stage win, the polka dot jersey...
72km - This is a very aggressive descent from Voeckler, who is putting in a small gap on Feillu. Not wise - he really needs to keep his compatriot with him if he wants to stay out today.
73km - The leading duo have 10 minutes on the peloton at the moment. The pace has eased off - green jersey Sagan is back there. Liquigas appear content to sit in Sky's wheels.
76km - Voeckler takes 25 points over the top of the Tourmalet ahead of Feillu, who nets 20 points. We've had no sight of Dan Martin for a while, but he took third place, with Kessiakoff pipping Sorensen for fourth. They're almost two minutes behind the leading duo.
77km - Voeckler does up his Europcar jersey as he approaches the summit of the Tourmalet. You'd think Feillu would let his compatriot over in first place - for the sake of the atmosphere between the two leaders. Back with the chasing group, both Hincapie and Vinokourov are returning.
77km - Jens Voigt is catching the Kessiakoff group. What a Tour the German veteran is having.
78km - Voeckler and Feillu combining well on the front, taking alternate pulls on the front. Back with the peloton, Philippe Gilbert has just been dropped.
78km - Still Sky lead the peloton with Knees, Boasson Hagen, Rogers, Wiggins, Porte and Froome in a line in that order. Tedious for most fans, poetry in motion for others.
79km - Stortini and Izagirre have joined the Kessiakoff group, which is now five strong.
79km - Voeckler is running through the gamut of facial expressions: gurning, licking, lip smacking, tonguing - the works. He and Feillu now has 1:05 over the Kessiakoff group, with Martin riding solo in between.
79km - Boasson Hagen returns to the front with water for his Sky machine. What a Tour he's having behind the scenes as a super domestique.
80km - The leaders still have three more kilometres of this brutal Tourmalet climb. Hincapie has been dropped by the Kessiakoff group. Back with the bunch, Edvald Boasson Hagen has dropped back for water bidons.
81km - The French Voeckler-Feillu duo has 45 seconds on the Kessiakoff chasing quartet. Great ride from Feillu, who was on the verge of retiring from the race in the opening week with a nasty illness.
81km - Dumoulin and Minard have been caught by the peloton now, still led by Boasson Hagen for Sky.
82km - Dan Martin has been dropped by Voeckler and Feillu! That's a surprise - the Irishman looked so strong, but perhaps went too early.
83km - Martin, Voeckler and Feillu lead. Kessiakoff has been caught by ten Dam, Hincapie and Sorensen. The Swede will hope to finish ahead of these riders over the summit to limit his losses.
83km - Kessiakoff has been dropped by the leaders. The Swede will be caught by the ten Dam trio soon. With the peloton, it's Edvald Boasson Hagen who's setting the pace. Kern, who attacked earlier, has passed Dumoulin, one of the first riders from the initial break to crack.
83km - Ten Dam, Sorensen and Hincapie are chasing in a trio, but they're quite a bit back. Almost eight minutes further down the road, Lampre's Michele Scarponi has been dropped by the peloton.
84km - Another split in the leading group: Martin, Voeckler and Feillu pull out, with polka dot jersey Kessiakoff in pursuit. They are approaching the summit, hence the upping of tempo.
85km - Saxo Bank pair Paulinho and CA Sorensen are on the front of the leading group now. Vorganov is back with them too. Back with the bunch, Sagan has finally been dropped. Oh, and Europcar's Christophe Kern has attacked from the pack. The Frenchman was struggling with a knee problem but the rest day appears to have done him a world of good. Preparing the way for Pierre Rolland?
86km - Movistar's Rui Costa is rejoining the leading group now.
86km - Sprinters Andre Greipel and Mark Cavendish are both off the back of the peloton now. Matt Goss too. The leaders have 7:20 over the pack. Christian Knees is ahead of Boasson Hagen, Rogers and Wiggins on the front of the pack.
87km - Giampaolo Caruso is there for Katusha too, so we have a leading group of around 14 now: Martinez, Sorensen, Voeckler, ten Dam, Vinokourov, Izagirre, Hincapie, Voigt, Kessiakoff, Martin, Kiryienka, Levarlet, Stortoni and Feillu.
88km - Euskaltel pair Egoi Martinez and Gorka Izagirre are joining the leadings. Vinokourov, Voigt and Stortoni are joining them too, so the pace must have dropped from the Martin group. Kiryienka is riding back on too.
88km - Dan Martin looks the dangerman here - the Garmin-Sharp rider is the driving force of this leading group. Back with the peloton, riders are dropping off the back. Green jersey Peter Sagan is on the back. The pace is not very high though - the gap is now 6:40 for the leaders. Liquigas are right on the front for Nibali alongside Sky.
89km - It's coming back together a bit now, with Hincapie, Voeckler, Feillu and Sorensen almost back with the three leaders. Sorensen looks to be really struggling and is not quite there yet with the other six.
90km - Martin flicks his elbow and urges one of this fellow leaders to have a tug, but neither Kessiakoff nor ten Dam oblige. It's a very early move from Martin. Now ten Dam comes through to lend a hand. He has split and phlegm hanging out of his mouth.
91km - Garmin-Sharp directeur sportif Jonathan Vaughters has already said in a Tweet that he thinks Dan Martin will win today. He's looking very strong. He now only has Kessiakoff and Laurens ten Dam with him.
91km - Bernie Eisel has now been dropped by the peloton, his work donw for the day. With the leaders, Hondo is caught after Dan Martin ups the pace. Six or so riders have gone with the Irishman, with another five or so in pursuit. It's really splitting up. Voeckler is struggling on the back.
92km - Germany's Hondo is still out in front as no-one from the break is prepared to chase the Lampre rider down. The climb is long and they know he won't be able to stay out on his own. Brice Feillu is on the back of the leading group, pouring water down his back. The Frenchman won in Andorra back in 2009 but has been out of the picture since. Matthieu Ladagnous is the latest rider to be dropped.
93km - Team Sky lead the peloton onto the start of the Tourmalet. Wiggins in yellow is tucked a bit back into the peloton, behind a cluster of BMC riders.
94km - There's an attack straight away from Lampre's Danilo Hondo on the Tourmalet. Already one or two riders are feeling the pinch from the leaders - Samuel Dumoulin drops back, as does Yaroslav Popovych.
95km - We're onto the HC Col du Tourmalet (2,115m) - a 19km-long climb at 7.4%. Once again, we're approaching it from the 'easier' side but it's still pretty brutal. What you'd expect from a climb literally called "Bad detour".
96km - There's a RadioShack theme to the latest videos on Eurosport: we have images of Chris Horner falling into a ditch, an interview with directeur sportif Alain Gallopin about the Frank Schleck situation, and a report on that positive test for Schleck too. Latest videos on Eurosport
100km - If you have just joined us, we have 38 riders out in front from a field of 155 riders (154 now that Vladimir Gusev has abandoned with a suspected broken collarbone). That's almost 25% of the peloton in the break - but no big names from the GC. The best placed rider is Egoi Martinez of Eusktaltel, who is 18 minutes down on Bradley Wiggins. The gap is 5:27 as they approach the second climb of the day, the Col du Tourmalet.
102km - George Hincapie drops back to the BMC team car to pick up an ice bag to stuff down the back of his jersey. The gap is 5:40 for the leading group, which includes that man Hincapie, who is riding an 18th successive Tour de France.
105km - The whole of Team Sky are on the front of the peloton - all eight remaining riders, including world champion Mark Cavendish, who said yesterday it was "nothing less than a pleasure" to ride in support of the yellow jersey. It will be worth it is i) Wiggins wins, and ii) Cav can take the final stage on the Champs Elysees.
110km - The leaders pass though the feeding zone. They have completed the long descent and are onto the smal flat section ahead of the Tourmalet climb. The gap is 5:35.
114km - The lead is now 5:25 for the break, which is being driven along by Japan's Yukiya Arashiro.
117km - We spoke to a prophetic Alexander Vinokourov this morning: "If you have good legs then you hope to get into the break and try and contest the win. I'm not scared and I feel good. If I can win, I'll give it a good shot. I think there will be a lot of people trying to get into the break. It will be a mental and physical battle."
119km - Vladimir Gusev has withdrawn from the race. It looked like a broken collarbone for the Katusha rider from that fall - and he could also have gone into a barbed wire fence on the side of the road.
120km - Kuijswijk punctured on the descent but appears to be back with the leaders now, who have reeled in those four riders who rode off the front on the downhill. Danilo Hondo is on the front for Lampre. They are approaching the feeding zone.
124km - CRASH: Two men down on the descent - Katusha and Cofidis. Romain Zingle for the French outfit and Vladimir Gusev for the Russian team. He's holding his arm on the side of the road.
126km - A couple of riders are clear from the break after that descent: Matthieu Ladagnous and Vorganov. They are being joined by two others - from Cofidis and Euskaltel, with the remaining escapees about 12 seconds back.
129km - Katusha's Eduard Vorganov leads the descent for the break - and the Russian almost runs into the back of the TV motorbike, which could not get round the bends at the same speed as the cyclist.
130km - Kessiakoff still leads the KOM standings on 89 points, but Voeckler has now moved onto 62 points and above his team-mate Pierre Rolland, who is on 55 points.
133km - The descent is interrupted by the slight rise up the Col du Soulor. The peloton are on it now, with Team Sky still holding the reins.
135km - Sumptuous scenery in Pyrenees: this is what the Tour is about. One of the Euskaltel riders leads the 38-man group on the descent. It's Jorge Azanza. You'd think a selection would be forced on the Tourmalet.
140km - Philippe Gilbert attacks near the summit - but it looks like that's more of a manoeuvre to pick up bidons from his BMC soigneur ahead of the summit. The gap is 4:25 for the leaders. We spoke to Gilbert this morning: "The Tour won't be decided today but it's still one of the last chances for the top five. I hope to be there for at least the first two climbs in support of Cadel."
143km - A superb lead-out by Arashiro there, who propels his man Voeckler to the summit. The Frenchman takes 25 points, with Kessiakoff second for 20. Sorensen couldn't keep up with them at all and faded fast. Success for Europcar, but it won't be enough - they need to distance the Swede and so will have to change tactics if they want to get the polka dots today.
144km - Arashiro leads the break, with Voeckler and Kessiakoff in his wheel. Sorensen is there as well - they're the men for the KOM competition.
145km - World champion Mark Cavendish is near the front of the peloton for Team Sky. On an HC climb! That shows you once again now relaxed things are out there so far today. Up ahead, it's Europcar pair Voeckler and Arashiro on the front, upping the pace. Voeckler wants the mountains points.
146km - Matthieu Ladagnous leads the break now, with Movistar's Vlad Karpets in his wheel. The Frenchman clearly has some fans out here today: someone had climbed on top of a tunnel and written his name in huge white letters. Now Voeckler comes through. The Frenchman has done up his jersey now.
147km - Movistar's Kiryienka leads the break as he picks up some water. Movistar are on the bottom of the prize money standings at the moment - they have had a very quiet Tour indeed.
148km - The leaders pass through the ski resort of Gourettes ad they continue their ascent of the Aubisque. The gap is steady: still 3:40. Bernie Eisel is setting the pace for Sky in the peloton, which gives you an idea of how easy they're taking things.
149km - Voeckler, Kessiakoff and Voigt ride together, but it's Fedrigo and Costa who are setting the pace on the front of this leading group.
149km - FACT: The Col d'Aubisque has been climbed 74 times in the Tour. Federico Bahamontes was the first to reach the top the most: 4 times. In 1954, 1958, 1963 and 1964.
150km - The gap of the 38 leaders is 3:45. The pace is not very high at the moment - understandably.
151km - It's a ridiculously hot day today with the sun shining bright in a sky of blue. The temperature is 30 degrees and already some of the break have their jerseys undone - most notably Voeckler, whose jersey is entirely open. Sean Kelly says on days like these riders will get through 25-30 bottle of water each.
152km - We spoke to Jerome Pineau this morning: "I will try but there's no guarantee I'll be allowed to get clear. I don't like these climbs. If I could stop on the top of the Tourmalet I probably would." The OMQS rider has now been reeled back into the peloton after trying to join the leaders.
153km - There are so many big climbs today it's hard to see anyone from the GC riders having a pop today on the Aubisque or even the Tourmalet. Surely they'll keep things back for the second two ascents of the day. As for the leaders, we're bound to see a selection on this climb or the next - some of the guys here aren't exactly climbers.
154km - We spoke to Frederik Kessiakoff this morning. The polka dot jersey is up for a scrap today: "There will be a war for the polka dot jersey. I will do my best to defend it and win points and be part of that war. I have never ridden in the Pyrenees and so it will be fun. If you feel good then it's okay. I think Voeckler and Chris Anker Sorensen are the riders to fear most in the competition." All three of those riders are involved in this break.
155km - CRASH: Chris Horner has a touch of wheels and falls off the road and down a steep ditch on the side of the road. He has to be helped out by a spectator. Terrible and ominous start to the Aubisque for the American - as if things weren't bad enough at RadioShack.
156km - We're onto the first of four climbs of the day, the HC Col d'Aubisque (1,709m) - a 16.4km-long climb at 7.1%. As David Harmon informs us on the Eurosport commentary, they are climbing this from the easy side.
157km - The road is beginning to head upwards and predictably Team Sky have come to the front to control things. The leaders have 3:40 on the peloton, but none of the men are a big threat to Wiggins on the GC. Egoi Martinez is the best-placed at 18:04 down on the Briton.
158km - 38 leaders: Cummings, Hincapie (BMC), Popovych, Voigt (RNT), Voeckler, Arashiro (EUC), Azanza, Martinez and Izaguirre (EUS), Hondo, Manzano, Stortoni (LAM), Martin (GRS), Bouet, Minard (ALM), Taaramae, Dumoulin (COF), Feillu, Levarlet, Marino (SAU), Hoogerland, Valls Ferri (VCD), Caruso, Trofimov, Vorganov (KAT), Casar, Fedrigo, Ladagnous (FDJ), Kruiswijk, Ten Dam (RAB), Costa, Karpets, Kiryienka (MOV), Paulinho, C. Sorensen (STB), Kessiakoff, Vinokourov (AST), Sprick (ARG).
160km - Jerome Pineau is still doing his best to join the leaders, but trails the 38 riders by one minute. It's an intriguing group this, with many subplots and options, some great climbers too. Great to see Ireland's Dan Martin involved. And Johnny Hoogerland has been a rare sight in this year's Tour.
163km - It's interesting to see Pierrick Fedrigo in this group. Monday's stage winner in fact won a mirror image of this stage back in 2010 running from Bagneres-de-Luchon to Pau and covering pretty much the same roll-call of iconic climbs. Blazin' Saddles: Fedrigo, the Nose of Marmande
166km - The gap is now three minutes back to the peloton. Some names from the 38-man group: Kessiakoff, Voeckler, CA Sorensen, Hincapie, Cummings, Vinokourov, Voigt, Rui Costa, Arashiro, Karpets, Taaramae, Hoogerland, Popovych, Kruijswijk, Kiryienka, Fedrigo, Sprick, Paolini, Casar., Martinez, Vorganov, Voeckler, ten Dam, Paulinho, Dumoulin, Feillu, Martin, Marino...
168km - Jerome Pineau of Quick Step is trying to bridge the gap between the peloton and the leading group, which includes the likes of Paulinho, Kiryienka, Voeckler, Hoogerland, Kruijswijk, Taaramae, Kessiakoff, Dumoulin, Vinokourov, Popovych, Ten Dam, Hincapie, Cummings and Arashiro.
170km - Sergio Paulinho leads the break through the intermediate sprint. His team-mate CA Sorensen, also in this group, will be more interested in the KOM mountains point - he's third in the standings. Thomas Voeckler is in this leading group too.
172km - The group has one minute now. Some familiar faces are there: polka dot jersey Kessiakoff, Saxo Bank's Chris Anker Sorensen, Vinokourov, a couple of Europcar men. Back in the bunch, Sky and Wiggins don't seem to be too concerned so they must know that none of the leaders are a threat in the GC.
174km - Race radio is reporting 37 riders in the leading group - that's a huge split in the peloton. No confirmed names as yet, with the exception of Jens Voigt of RadioShack.
177km - A very large group has formed off the front of the peloton with countless riders trying to bridge the gap. There's no guarantee it will stick - the pace is fast. Remember, the intermediate sprint comes before all four climbs today - not that anyone can catch Peter Sagan in the green jersey standings. The Slovak has a 102-point cushion over nearest rival, Andre Greipel. Green jersey standings
178km - RadioShack, incidentally, still lead the team standings in spite of Frank Schleck's withdrawal from the race. Team standings
179km - Albert Timmer of Argos Shimano is making a huge pull on the front, opening up a small gap. The Dutchman is being followed by numerous riders.
180km - We also spoke to another RadioShack rider, Maxim Montfort: "It was a great shock,. I still can't believe it. Frank has all my trust and the team's trust. He went down to the police station himself, which says a lot. I believe in his innocence. He may have done it accidently. He's very anti-doping. I was having a massage when I learnt about it so I haven't seen him since. We're trying not to get distracted or lose focus."
182km - Eurosport spoke to Chris Horner of RadioShack this morning and asked him about the cloud that came over his team's rest day: "We lost a good friend and rider in Frank and we hope to have him back soon. I'm not extra motivated because of his absence. I feel good anyway and this stage means a lot to me."
185km - Seven riders open up a small gap: Izaguirre (EUS), Koren (LIQ), Paulini (KAT), Gusev (KAT), Roy (FDJ), Ten Dam (RAB) and Cobo (MOV). But it does not stick. Johnny Hoogerland of Vacansoleil-DCM is the next to have a pop but the outcome is the same.
190km - There will no doubt be a shake up in the polka dot jersey standings today, what with so many major climbs on the agenda. Swede Frederik Kessiakoff of Astana currently leads France's Pierre Rolland (Europcar) by 14 points in the KOM standings. Polka dot jersey standings
195km - Numerous attacks from the outset but nothing sticking as yet. A reminder that Bradley Wiggins leads the GC by 2:05 ahead of team-mate and compatriot Chris Froome. Vincenzo Nibali is third, 2:23 down, and defending champion Cadel Evans is fourth at 3:19. Yellow jersey standings
197km - The remaining 155 riders get this decisive stage under way. Frank Schleck is the only non-starter after his controversy over the rest day.
10:15 - Bradley Wiggins (Team Sky) still leads the race going into the final five days. For Wiggins, winning the Tour de France would be more the result of a three-year process than the end of a three-week race. "A few years ago I was failing as an athlete, I never really fulfilled my potential and I think the last few years with the right people around me I've started to realise my potential," the 32-year-old Wiggins said as the peloton enjoyed a rest day before two key mountain stages in the Pyrenees. Report: Wiggins on the verge of fulfilling three-year plan
10:10 - REST DAY BOMBSHELL: Luxembourg rider Frank Schleck has denied any wrongdoing after he was withdrawn from the Tour de France on Tuesday when he returned a positive test for the diuretic Xipamide following Saturday's Stage 13. Report: Schleck out of Tour after positive test
10:05 - On Monday, France's Pierrick Fedrigo won stage 15 of the Tour de France in Pau after outsprinting American Christian Vande Velde from a break. It was a fourth career Tour stage win for 33-year-old FDJ-BigMat rider Fedrigo – whose last victory on the Tour came on the race's previous visit to Pau back in 2010. Stagw 15 report: Fedrigo wins again in Pau
10:00 - Welcome to stage 16 of the Tour de France - a 197km trek starting in Pau and featuring the famous Pyrenean climbs of the Col d'Aubisque, Col du Tourmalet, Col d'Aspin and Col de Peyresourd before a downhill finish in Bagneres-de-Luchon.

Colo. sheriff's office uses iris scanner to ID suspects
Office has been using the technology since 2007 to book inmates and ensure they've caught the correct person
By PoliceOne Staff
LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. — When a man suspected of DUI didn't have an ID on him and was prepared to lie about his identity, officers were able to discover just who he was using an iris scan.
According to ABC 7, the Larimer County Sheriff's Office uses the technology to both book inmates and to verify that the correct person is being released. They are only one of two counties in the state with this technology.
"It's a modern day version of what the fingerprint card does," Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith said. "It maps the eye, much as running ink over a fingerprint maps the finger, it maps the blood vessels. It turns out the human eye when looked a close enough would be like a fingerprint."
Smith said they also use the scanner when the county's 205 sex offenders are required to check in, to make sure they have the correct person.
"This technology in addition to allowing us to get the right people taken into custody, also allows us to clear up people who may have been accused of something and somebody else assumed their identity."
The Sheriff's Office has been using the technology since 2007. Smith said he hopes to one day have deputies carry scanners in the field.

India's Nifty Index Futures Decline Before Derivatives Expiry
Indian stock-index futures dropped as overseas funds sold shares before the expiry of derivatives contracts today.
SGX CNX Nifty Index futures for May delivery fell 0.3 percent to 7,309 at 10:04 a.m. in Singapore. The most-active June contract lost 0.4 percent to 7,327.5. The CNX Nifty Index rose 0.2 percent to 7,329.65 yesterday. The S&P BSE Sensex gained less than 0.1 percent to 24,556.09. The gauge has jumped 9.5 percent this month, poised for the biggest advance since January 2012. The Bank of New York Mellon India ADR Index of U.S.-traded shares slid 1.1 percent.
International investors sold a net $37.8 million of Indian shares on May 27, a second day of outflows. They have bought $7.6 billion of the country's stocks this year, the most in Asia. Indian futures and options contracts expire on the last Thursday of every month.
"Foreign institutional investors have been sellers for the past couple of days and investors are trimming positions in selected counters ahead of the May expiry," Alex Mathews, head of research at Geojit BNP Paribas Financial Services Ltd., wrote in an e-mail yesterday.
Shares of Hero Motocorp Ltd. may be active. The motorcycle maker reported profit of 5.54 billion rupees ($94 million) for the quarter ended March 31, compared with the 5.26 billion-rupee median estimate of analysts in a Bloomberg survey.
Earnings Reports
Tata Motors Ltd., the owner of luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover, will report its quarterly earnings today. The company and its units may say full-year profit rose 49 percent to 147.8 billion rupees, according to the median of 21 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
The Mumbai-based company yesterday warned it may not report standalone profit for the year ended March 31. A prolonged economic slowdown, high interest rates, rising fuel costs and stagnant freight rates impacted the company, it said in a stock exchange filing.
Oil & Natural Gas Corp., India's largest state-owned oil explorer, may announce quarterly net income rose 62 percent to 54.83 billion rupees, according to the median of 27 forecasts.
Coal India Ltd., the world's biggest producer of the fuel, may say fourth-quarter profit fell 8.6 percent to 49.49 billion rupees, according to a survey of 31 analysts.
Net income at Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd., India's biggest power-equipment maker, may have tumbled 47 percent to 17.21 billion rupees, according to 33 analyst estimates. The stock has rallied 41 percent this year amid speculation the company will benefit from increased infrastructure spending by the new Narendra Modi-led government.
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., India's most valuable drugmaker, may say quarterly profit climbed 34 percent to 13.54 billion rupees, according to 34 analysts.
Fourteen out of the 20 Sensex companies that have posted earnings so far have beaten or matched estimates. About 73 percent of results beat forecasts in the previous quarter.
The Sensex has climbed 16 percent this year, the second-best performer in Asia after Indonesia's Jakarta Composite Index. The Indian gauge is valued at 15.1 times projected 12-month earnings, compared with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index's multiple of 10.7.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
I ran two pairs of ads. Both ads from each set had exactly the same text except one of each had just the root domain name as the display URL, and the other of each had actual landing URL.
In both cases, the ads that showed the landing page URL had a CTR that was about 50% higher on average.
One of the pair did very poor, and had a CTR that was half of the other pair, but even in the poorly performing pair, the one with the landing URL did roughly 50% better.
I used keywords that were not very competitive, and lower traffic. Maybe 1000 impressions per day, give or take. Also the URL contained the keyword which I think is significant since google makes it bold faced and thus it sticks out more. The ads were not in the top three, but were on the first page - so they were well mixed in with the others. The others however, rarely (that I saw) used landing URL's on their ads, preferring to use their plain domain name.
I have received many good tips here and I wanted to share this information. Hope someone will find it useful. :)
What is the official rule around this? I know it's been around for a while, but I'm a little surprised it's allowed in the first place...
Is there a rule in place to disallow:
This is handled on a case-by-case basis. The essential priniciple at work is that we will disapprove ads in which the Display URL is used as an additional line of ad text.

You can re-enable a few services and startup items at a time until you find the one causing the conflict. The conflicting software will most likely be security software. After you find the software that is causing the conflict, just update, reconfigure, or uninstall the software.

Setting prices according to the psychographics of the aimed-at market segment.
Use this term in a sentence
We engaged in psychological pricing as some people prefer certain numbers and associate those numbers with specific goods and services.
You should try to use psychological pricing if you think that you can get a little more money and higher profits.
They called us fools for using psychological pricing to value our DLC offerings; however, our business keeps expanding and theirs? They just ask us if we'd also like fries when we stop by their work.

Patient Comments: Hydrocephalus - Causes
What was the cause of your hydrocephalus?
Comment from: Sera W., 0-2 Female (Caregiver) Published: February 09
Useful tips that the doctor gave me was to gargle with 3 percent hydrogen peroxide and minimize dairy intake.
Comment from: Saba, 3-6 Male (Caregiver) Published: November 04
Comment from: Lynn Marie, 13-18 Female (Caregiver) Published: September 09
Hydrocephalus is caused by dehydration. The cure is not shunting, the cure is water. My teenager has a shunt and now I am educated. She was a typical teen with no health concerns. She never drank water, drinking fountains at school did not work, no water bottles were allowed in class and at lunch she was offered the same size carton of milk that a kindergartner gets. We didn't know any better either and we trusted doctors who just repeat the shunting process because that's what's always been done. Bottom line is, hydrocephalus is the result of prolonged dehydration. The cure is water. When your body is dehydrated it sends any water it can to the brain, heart and lungs that's why you get tremendous headaches, that's why you get coughing or sniffly nose, you are off balance and can't open your eyes.
Comment from: Dr. D, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: November 14
I had colloid cyst of the 3rd ventricle and VP (ventriculoperitoneal) shunt was placed. I had onset of symptoms of confusion, excessive somnolence and gait problem. One month later a large 3 + cm colloid cyst was excised successfully and there has been good improvement and full recovery is anticipated.
Comment from: cintrone, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: December 19
My name is Vangie. I'm in my twenties and I was born with hydrocephalus. I wasn't shunted until I was two months old. I have had over 12 surgeries throughout my entire life. My last two surgeries were in 2001. The first one in 2001 I almost died but God is great. I haven't has any surgeries ever since. Now, God has given me the chance to be a mother to a son. He is one years old. My son wasn't born with hydrocephalus. So have been very blessed. If I can do it so can you. Thanks for reading.
Comment from: HOPE, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: September 24
I am 23 years old and I had hydrocephalus when I was born but I already underwent a surgery when I was 1 month old. Everything is fine now except for one thing, I have been experiencing incontinence since I was a child causing me to wear diaper and never been able to urinate on my own; It will just go out whenever my bladder is full and I have no control of it.
Comment from: amandalake26, 25-34 Female (Caregiver) Published: June 20
My daughter has been having very severe headaches; she would wake up in the middle of the night and would be crying. She is 6 years old. I took her to her pediatrician who sent her to the children's hospital where they did 2 MRIs. One of the brain and one of the spine. She was diagnosed with Chiari malformation of the brain as well as having hydrocephalus. The doctor did brain surgery on her a week ago. She is doing so much better.
Comment from: maryslamb2011, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: April 04
I have hydrocephalus and have had it for many years with a shunt to relieve it. Shortly before I was diagnosed, I had a fall from a 4-foot platform, which the doctor said may have caused it. I was also hit in the head as a child with a baseball bat, which may have also caused it and had it lying dormant for many years. They just do not know. I do know that with the surgery insertion of the shunt to drain the water I have been able to lead a normal life. My symptoms were headaches and being constantly off balance.

Every Excess Pound Gained Raises Risk of Death
Latest Diet & Weight Management News
Steady Rise in Death Risk as Overweight/Obesity Increases
By Daniel J. DeNoon
Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD
Dec. 1, 2010 -- Your risk of death rises steadily with every overweight pound you gain, a huge study funded by the National Institutes of Health confirms.
Even if you don't smoke and are in otherwise good health, your risk of death goes up 31% with every 5-point increase in BMI, a measure of body mass based on weight and height.
Just being a little bit overweight increases death risk. Compared to those with a normal-range BMI of 22.5 to 24.9:
Those figures are for women who do not smoke and who have no underlying disease. The risks are similar for men, note Amy Berrington de Gonzalez, DPhil, of the National Institutes of Health, and colleagues.
"We conclude that for non-Hispanic whites, both overweight and obesity are associated with increased all-cause mortality," they conclude. "All-cause mortality is generally lowest within the BMI range of 20.0 to 24.9."
BMI measured before age 50 had the strongest effect on death risk.
Being underweight may also increase death risk, but it's not clear whether underlying, undetected disease might account for this finding.
The study pooled data from 19 long-term studies that followed 1.46 million white adults for five to 28 years.
The strong statistical significance of the findings suggest that an earlier study of the impact of obesity on death risk -- which was scary enough -- may have underestimated the problem. That study found that adult obesity cut life expectancy by four years. The new data show that obesity has a much greater effect on life span.
"In our study, there were more than five times as many deaths among participants in the highest obesity categories (BMI of 35-0 to 39.9 and 40.0 to 49.9) than in previous studies, because severe obesity had become more common," Berrington de Gonzalez and colleagues note.
Smoking and chronic disease have an enormous effect on death risk. To isolate the effects of obesity, the researchers calculated death risk for nonsmokers who reported no underlying disease.
The findings appear in the Dec. 2 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Comment My own Marvin Minsky story on neural networks (Score 2) 76
Posted here first this morning (couple of types fixed): https://ma.tt/2016/01/minsky/#...
Wow, sad to hear the news. Marvin Minsky and I were academic peers of a sort -- he was one of George A. Miller's first students, and I was one of George's last students.
I met Marvin Minsky once in his MIT office in 1985 as I was graduating from Princeton. I likely gave him a copy of my thesis -- "Why Intelligence: Object, Evolution, Stability, and Model". I also wrote to him once in the 1990s about getting computer time for space habitat simulations (he was responsive in a positive way, but then I met my wife and so just let stuff like that drop). And I saw him in passing about fifteen years ago when he gave a talk at IBM Research while I was a contractor there (he spoke about multiple simultaneous mental representations, and picking from the best one). A nephew of his even lived down the hall from me my senior year at Princeton in 1903 hall, too, but I never talked with him about his uncle. But we never really connected any of those times, sadly.
One of the biggest mistake I've made in my life careerwise (or so it seemed at the time) was when visiting Marvin Minsky in his office to talk to him about the triplestore and semantic network ideas in my thesis (stuff that indirectly helped inspire WordNet which George started as I graduated). I casually mentioned in passing to Marvin Minsky very early on in our meeting something about neural networks (MIT had a spinoff then of the Connection Machine), and I guess that may have put him in one of those mental states where some of the 400 different little computers activate.
So, instead of MIT, I spent a year hanging out in Hans Moravec's and also Red Whittaker's robot labs, and that was interesting in its own way. That experience also set me to thinking about the implications of most of the CMU robotics work being funded by the US military, which ultimately lead to my key insight about the irony of using robots to fight about material scarcity they could otherwise alleviate.
I sent Marvin Minsky an email in 2010, with a subject of "Vitamin D, computing, and abundance", warning about the health risks of vitamin D deficiency for heavy computer users. I also thanked him for his interactions with James P. Hogan, an author whose writings have been very inspiring to me (like Two Faces of Tomorrow and Voyage From Yesteryear), as James acknowledges Marvin in the first as a major source of ideas and inspirations, so some big ideas went from Marvin to James to me at least in that sense.
I have since some to think that, short of improved subsistence via 3D printing and flexible home and agricultural personal robotics, or a radical change to a gift economy, or broad government grants totaling in the hundreds of billions of years to any programmer who asked, about the only thing I can think of that would really fix that situation of limited time for programmers to be creative, that would really give most programmers some financial freedom to innovate, not just a few (like Marvin) who manage (often by technical brilliance of a sort, and so seemingly "deservedly") to work their way up the social/funding hierarchy, would be a "basic income" for everyone. Then any programmer who wanted to could live life a graduate student their entire life (but without grad school restrictions like pleasing an adviser) and turn out free/libre and open source software. And others might choose to do other things with that freedom (have kids, teach, write books, paint, whatever). Most such creative programming projects would fail of course, but we might still see a lot of great innovative socially-useful stuff, where programmers would have the time to really support it.
I included in that email links to my Post-Scarcity Princeton writings. That email to Marvin Minsky was also when I first created my email sig, to, as I said to him, sum up the most important thing I've learned over the past 25 years by following the road less traveled (via CMU).
It is a sad day for us and his family, but Marvin apparently had one of the most fun careers of anyone I can imagine, so I can't feel too sad for Marvin himself. I am sad though that I said the wrong thing incidentally in his office and so never got to be part of that fun. But a deep question to ask is, how can more people have a fun and creative life like Marvin Minsky had?

Draymond Green has donated $3.1 million to Michigan State athletics in support of the men's basketball program.
Green recently signed a five-year, $82 million contract with the Golden State Warriors.
"I was pretty heavy when I got here and not expected to be a pro or doing what I'm doing today," Green said at a Breslin Center news conference with Izzo, MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon and MSU athletic director Mark Hollis, with the current MSU basketball team and many others on hand. "So can I come in here and take credit for that, or do I give the credit where it's rightfully due, which is this university? And if so, how do I show my thanks? That was just a small way of me saying thank you.
"I can say thank you all I want and I can talk to coach Izzo every day. But how do I do something to say thank you but to also help these guys over here have the opportunity that I have? One thing coach Izzo used to always tell me is 'I'm living my dream. All I want to do is see you live yours.' As a freshman, it's hard to believe that. The way he's on you, you don't understand it, it's hard to believe it. Once you realize, 'This guy wants me to be successful more than I want to be successful,' it develops that love and makes you want to come back and give back to these guys like others have done for me."

*Hovis Good Inside™ bread contains natural Omega 3 from seeds, which if eaten regularly, as part of a healthy lifestyle and a varied balanced diet, contributes to the maintenance of normal cholesterol levels in the blood.
Our classic British loaves – Soft White, Best of Both, Wholemeal – and all your bakery favourites.
A taste of our heritage. Families up and down the country have loved our most famous loaves for years and they're still just as popular today. Each loaf is baked using traditional methods and they're rich, nutty in flavour and nutritious.
Seriously tasty loaves, with a blend of toasted seeds for extra flavour – brown linseeds, sunflower, pumpkin, millet, golden linseed and poppy seeds. Great taste more naturally.
Enjoy the Hovis taste you love, but with just 52 calories or fewer per slice. These loaves are full of tasty malted wholegrains, high in fibre and low in fat.

I go to work they say here comes the dreamer
But I've got these songs to make my life better
I've got to provide for my only child
I'll make the bread playing the music
Play on, play on, everything is just a cycle
Everything just stays the same
Good friends we have had,
Good friends on top again
Play on, play on
Who's that playing on the radio?
Didn't I write that song for you?
Play on, play on
