COP17: Week one summary
- Date
- 04 December 2011
COP17 takes place from November 28 to December 9, 2011, in Durban, South Africa, from where Damian Ryan our Senior Policy Manager is providing daily news, analysis and live tweeting. This is his summary of COP17's first week.
Week one of this year's UN Climate Conference in Durban, South Africa, appears to have followed the traditional negotiating set piece. After a high level opening attended by President Zuma of South Africa, officials focused on the multiple work streams that make up a normal COP meeting. Their task (as always) has been to work through various agenda items in order to present draft decisions for ministers to further negotiate and agree in week two.
As explained in my pre-COP 17 briefing, the key issues under discussion have been: the future of the Kyoto Protocol; the 'legal form' of a new agreement to strengthen climate action by all countries; and operationalizing various elements agreed at last year's COP16 in Cancun, particularly climate finance.
South Africa, as holder of the COP Presidency, introduced to parties its 'Indaba' process to help facilitate transparent and inclusive negotiations. Based on traditional South Africa tribal meetings, this process has been aimed at ensuring participation by all parties on all agenda items. Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, South Africa's Foreign Minister and COP President, has used the process extensively to assist the climate finance discussions, which she has focused on as a priority.
Despite the best efforts of the COP President though, the shape of any outcome from Durban remains far from clear. Parties for the most part have stuck to well known positions. The EU's efforts to find a middle ground that both preserves the Kyoto Protocol and sets the scene for a new global agreement of some kind by 2015 to 2020, apparently failed to gain widespread support, not least from other major emitters. In short, it was a week of few surprises given the pre-COP messaging that had come out of most capitals.
The first six days were not without a few points of interest however. Early in the week rumours out of Canada caused ripples through the conference. Unconfirmed reports claimed that the Canadian Government had decided to formally withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol in its entirety (i.e. joining the US as a non-party). While this was neither confirmed nor apparently denied, it was certainly not helpful to building an atmosphere of trust.
Perhaps the most significant development for the week though, was the emergence of the BASIC group (Brazil, South Africa, India and China) as a formal negotiating block. Although these countries have worked together closely ever since Copenhagen, they had not formally presented a joint position within the negotiations. In many ways this is an encouraging development as it creates for the first time a clear distinction between these major emerging economies and the much larger group of smaller and generally poorer developing countries. Whether this separation has any material difference on the negotiations will become clearer in the coming week.
The US did its part to lower expectations by reiterating its view that a formal legal treaty was unlikely and indeed unnecessary until 2020. Its deputy chief negotiator caused consternation and confusion amongst many observers by claiming that there were multiple ways to reach a two degree target after 2020. Such optimism flies in the face of the recent announcements from the International Energy Agency that failure to take action before 2017 would lock in a high-carbon global energy infrastructure, which would put the world on a pathway to three degree of warming or more.
India's request to include agenda items on intellectual property rights, unilateral trade measures, and equitable access to sustainable development, also slowed the pace of negotiations as parties argued over whether they should be adopted. In a meeting already dominated by a range of sensitive issues, the inclusion of three further such items was no doubt seen by many countries as challenging to say the least.
As the week came to an end, the chair of the main convention track negotiations pulled together a consolidated document of all the different negotiating texts. Containing all the variety of yet-to-be-agreed proposals for individual issues, the 130 page document no doubt kept many negotiators busy over the weekend. With ministers now arriving, officials have just a few days to bring order to this and other documents dealing with the Kyoto negotiations.

Peoria, AZ (Sports Network) - Jedd Gyorko belted a grand slam to highlight a
six-run first inning that propelled the San Diego Padres to a 9-3 win over the
Seattle Mariners in the Cactus League opener for both teams.
Chris Denorfia finished 2-for-4 with an RBI for the Padres, with Jeudy Valdez
contributing a pinch-hit, two-run double in the ninth inning to the triumph.
Sean O'Sullivan held the Mariners scoreless over the first two innings to
register the victory, with Thad Weber and Miles Mikolas also tossing a pair of
shutout frames for San Diego.
Casper Wells had a two-run homer to pace Seattle offensively. Mariners starter
Hector Noesi struggled mightily, surrendering six runs (four earned) on four
hits and walking four batters while recording just two outs.

The Cappel Women's Secret Insulated Jacket actually makes you invisible, so you can hop the lifts for free, poach lines, and leak government secrets without being detected. It's got a tailored design that's reminiscent of Watergate informants and private investigators, with snap chest pockets and trenchcoat-style belt loops that Deep Throat would've loved and a powder skirt and mesh-lined underarm zips that probably would've left him a little confused. When you're lurking in cold parking garage shadows, flip up the attached hood and cinch it tight with the street-style draw cord, or make use of the fleece-lined handwarmer pockets when you're actually on the mountain. The 10K waterproof Aquapel DWR-treated shell and light Clomax synthetic insulation will come in handy, too, when you're checking out secret powder stashes, details of which you refuse to divulge.
- 10K/8K waterproof and breathable membrane
- Taped critical seams
- 60g Clomax Thin synthetic insulation
- Mesh-lined underarm zips
- Snap-back powder skirt
- Drawcord hood with soft chin guard and inner collar
- Hook-and-loop cuffs

Leal's luminous beauty, innocent charm and bright smile were put to good use in her role as idealistic educator Marilyn Sudor on "Boston Public". Putting concern for her students above all and often paying the price for her naivete, Marilyn was among the most sympathetic and relatable characters on the often over-the-top series and was well-liked by her fictional students as well, who n...

Latinos are the largest and fastest-growing ethnic minority in the United States. We also are one of the groups most heavily impacted by HIV. As Latinos, we are only 16% of the population, but HIV hits us harder than it should. We account for 21% of all new HIV infections in the United States. Among Latinos, gay and bisexual men bear the greatest burden of HIV infection.
Gay and bisexual men are more severely affected by HIV than any other group in the U.S. Among all gay and bisexual men, those who were Latino accounted for an estimated 6,700 (22%) of new HIV infections in 2010. The largest number of new infections among Latino gay and bisexual men (3,300; 39%) occurred among those aged 25 to 34. In some major cities, studies found that nearly 1 in 5 Latino gay and bisexual men are infected with HIV. Many (46%) don't even know they have HIV because they have never been tested or are not testing regularly. KNOW THE FACTS
Knowing your HIV status is a powerful tool. You could have HIV and still feel healthy. The only way to know if you have HIV is to get tested. HIV testing is free, fast, and confidential. Whether you test positive or negative, you can use that knowledge to take better care of yourself and your loved ones. GET TESTED
We all have a reason for getting tested for HIV. What's yours? Get tested. Join us by sharing the importance of getting an HIV test with your community, friends, and family and share tips on how to protect yourself from getting HIV. JOIN US

Far Hills, NJ (Sports Network) - The United States Golf Association announced
on Monday that Rolling Green Golf Club will host the 2016 U.S. Women's Amateur
Rolling Green, which will be celebrating its 90th anniversary in 2016,
previously hosted the 1976 U.S. Women's Open. JoAnne Carner beat 1975 winner
Sandra Palmer in a playoff at that championship.
"The USGA is very happy to bring another national championship to Rolling
Green," said Thomas J. O'Toole Jr., USGA vice president and Championship
Committee chairman. "The course has already proven to be a formidable test,
and it will undoubtedly present yet another stern challenge when it hosts the
world's finest female amateur players."
This will be the second USGA Championship for Rolling Green. The course has
hosted many Pennsylvania Opens and numerous Golf Association of Philadelphia
championships. One of the more notable Pennsylvania Opens was in 1990 when
five-time USGA champion Jay Sigel beat future U.S. Open champion Jim Furyk by
a single stroke.

32 CFR Part 323, Appendix A to Part 323 - Instructions for Preparation of System Notices
prev | next
Appendix A to Part 323—Instructions for Preparation of System Notices
A. System identification. See DLAH 5400.1. 1
1 Copies may be obtained from the Defense Logistics Agency, ATTN: DSS-CV, 8725 John J. Kingman Road, Suite 2533, Fort Belvoir, VA 22060-6221.
2 [Reserved]
B. System name. The name of the system reasonably identifies the general purpose of the system and, if possible, the general categories of individuals involved. Use acronyms only parenthetically following the title or any portion thereof, such as, "Joint Uniform Military Pay System (JUMPS)." Do not use acronyms that are not commonly known unless they are preceded by an explanation. The system name may not exceed 55 character positions including punctuation and spacing.
C. System location 1. For systems maintained in a single location provided the exact office name, organizational identity, and address or routing symbol. For geographically or organizationally decentralized systems, specify each level of organization or element that maintains a segment of the system. For automated data systems with a central computer facility and input/output terminals at several geographically separated location, list each location by category.
2. When multiple locations are identified by type of organization, the system location may indicate that official mailing addresses are contained in an address directory published as an appendix to DLAH 5400.1.
3. If no address directory is used or the addresses in the directory are incomplete, the address of each location where a segment of the record system is maintained must appear under the "System Location" caption. Classified addresses are not listed, but the fact that they are classified is indicated. Use the standard U.S. Postal Service two letter state abbreviation symbols and zip codes for all domestic addresses.
D. Categories of individuals covered by the system. Set forth the specific categories of individuals to whom records in the system pertain in clear, easily understood, nontechnical terms. Avoid the use of broad over-general descriptions, such as "all DLA personnel" or "all civilian personnel" unless this actually reflects the category of individuals involved.
E. Categories of records in the system. Describe in clear, nontechnical terms the types of records maintained in the system. Only documents actually retained in the system of records will be described, not source documents that are used only to collect data and the destroyed.
F. Authority for maintenance of the system. 1. Cite the specific provisions of the Federal statute or Executive Order that authorizes the maintenance of the system. Include with citations for statutes the popular names, when appropriate (for example, title 51, United States Code, section 2103, "Tea-Tasters Licensing Act"), and for Executive Orders, the official title (for example, Executive Order 9397, "Numbering System for Federal Accounts Relative to Individual Persons").
2. For administrative housekeeping records, cite the directive establishing DLA as well as the Secretary of Defense authority to issue the directive. For example, 'Pursuant to the authority contained in the National Security Act of 1947, as amended (10 U.S.C. 133d), the Secretary of Defense has issued DoD Directive 5105.22 (32 CFR part 398), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), the charter of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) as a separate agency of the Department of Defense under this control. Therein, the Director, DLA, is charged with the responsibility of maintaining all necessary and appropriate records.'
G. Purpose or purposes. List the specific purposes for maintaining the system of records by the activity. Include the use made of the information within DLA and the Department of Defense (so-called "internal routine uses").
H. Routine uses. 1. The blanket routine uses that appear in DLAH 5400.1 3 apply to all systems notices unless the individual system notice specifically states that one or more of them do not apply to the system. For all other routine uses, when practical, list the specific activity to which the record may be released, to include any routine automated system interface (for example, "to the Department of Justice, Civil Rights Compliance Division," "to the Veterans Administration, Office of Disability Benefits," or "to state and local health agencies").
3 Copies may be obtained from the Defense Logistics Agency, ATTN: DSS-CV, 8725 John J. Kingman Road, Suite 2533, Fort Belvoir, VA 22060-6221.
2. For each routine use identified, include a statement as to the purpose or purposes for which the record is to be released to the activity. Do not use general statements, such as, "to other Federal agencies as required" and "to any other appropriate Federal agency."
I. Policies and practices for storing, retiring, accessing, retaining, and disposing of records. This caption is subdivided into four parts:
1. Storage. Indicate the medium in which the records are maintained. (For example, a system may be "automated, maintained on magnetic tapes or disks," "manual, maintained in paper files," or "hybrid, maintained in a combination of paper and automated form.") Storage does not refer to the container or facility in which the records are kept.
2. Retrievability. Specify how the records are retrieved (for example, name and SSN, name, SSN) and indicate whether a manual or computerized index is required to retrieve individual records.
3. Safeguards. List the categories of DLA personnel having immediate access and these responsible for safeguards (such as storage in safes, vaults, locked cabinets or rooms, use of guards, visitors registers, personnel screening, or computer "fail-safe" systems software). Do not describe safeguards in such detail as to compromise system security.
4. Retention and disposal. Indicate how long the record is retained. When appropriate, state the length of time the records are maintained by the activity, when they are transferred to a Federal Records Center, length of retention at the Records Center and when they are transferred to the National Archives or are destroyed. A reference to DLAI 5015.1, 4 DLA Records Management Procedures and Records Schedules, or other issuances without further detailed information is insufficient.
4 Copies may be obtained from the Defense Logistics Agency, ATTN: DSS-CV, 8725 John J. Kingman Road, Suite 2533, Fort Belvoir, VA 22060-6221.
J. System manager or managers and address. 1. List the title and address of the official responsible for the management of the system. If the title of the specific official is unknown, such as for a local system, specify the local commander or office head as the systems manager.
2. For geographically separated or ogranizationally decentralized activities for which individuals may deal directly with officials at each location in exercising their rights, list the position or duty title of each category of officials responsible for the system or a segment thereof.
3. Do not include business or duty addresses if they are listed in DLAH 5400.1.
K. Notification procedures. 1. If the record system has been exempted from subsection (e)(4)(G) the Privacy Act, so indicate.
2. For all nonexempt systems, describe how an individual may determine if there are records pertaining to him or her in the system. The procedural rules may be cited, but include a brief procedural description of the needed data. Provide sufficient information in the notice to allow an individual to exercise his or her rights without referrals to this part.
3. As a minimum, the caption will include:
a. The official title (normally the system manager) and official address to which request is to be directed.
b. The specific information required to determine if there is a record of the individual in the system.
c. Identification of the offices through which the individual may obtain access.
d. A description of any proof of identity required.
4. When appropriate, the individual may be referred to an activity official who shall provide this data to him or her.
L. Record access procedures. 1. If the record system has been exempted from subsection (e)(4)(H) of the Privacy Act, so indicate.
2. For all nonexempt record systems, describe the procedures under which individuals may obtain access to the record pertaining to them in the system. When appropriate, the individual may be referred to the system manager or activity official to obtain access procedures. Do not repeat the addresses listed in DLAH 5400.1, but refer the individual to that directory.
M. Contesting record procedures. 1. If the record system has been exempted from subsection (e)(4)(H) of the Privacy Act, so indicate.
2. For all nonexempt systems of records, state briefly how an individual may contest the content of a record pertaining to him or her in the system. The detailed procedures for contesting record accuracy, refusal of access or amendment, or initial review and appeal need not be included if they are readily available elsewhere and can be referred to by the public. (For example, "The Defense Logistics Agency rules for contesting contents and for appealing initial determinations are contained in 32 CFR part.") (DLAR 5400.21).
3. The individual may also be referred to the system manager to determine these procedures.
N. Record source categories. 1. If the record system has been exempted from subsection (e)(4)(I) of the Privacy Act, so indicate.
2. For all nonexempt systems of records, list the sources of the information in the system. Specific individuals or institutions need not be identified by name, particularly if these sources have been granted confidentiality.
O. System exempted from certain provisions of the Privacy Act. 1. If no exemption has been claimed for the system, indicate "None."
2. If there is an exemption claimed, indicate specifically under which subsection of the Privacy Act is is claimed. Cite the regulation and CFR section containing the exemption rule for the system. (For example, "Parts of this record system may be exempt under title 5, United States Code, sections 552a(k)2. and (5), as applicable. See exemption rules contained in 32 CFR part 323.") (DLAR 5400.21).

Seen at SEMAWritten on January 21, 2005 The nicest and newest on display in Las Vegas
Bigger? Somehow it was. Better? Without question.
Each year, the Specialty Equipment Market Association, better known tothe world as SEMA, puts together a trade show for the automotive andtransportation world. Each year, somehow, it manages to get bigger thanthe year before. It uses every inch of the Las Vegas Convention Center,most of its parking lot, and spills off into the AAPEX show that runs atthe Sands Convention Center. It's a three-day event that would challengethe biggest car buff that wants to see it all.
Success comes with strategy. SEMA organizers have done a great job inkeeping displays within a section that best defines the product ondisplay. For our purposes, the aisles of the racing and performancesection that stretched the entire length of the convention center werethe main focus. We did sneak out into restoration, electronics, andother areas just to see what was going on.
There are literally miles of aisles. Some reports say if you walk everyaisle once, you walk 22 miles. You usually walk a few of them more thanonce.
The show is designed to allow the manufacturers to display their latestinnovation and their stalwart products to potential customers. No retailselling is allowed. The exchange of business cards with follow up phonecalls and e-mails become the catalyst for achieving identificationgoals. Distributorships and dealer networks become the end result asbuyers rub elbows with racers, hot rod builders, and customizers in amixture of all that is right with the automotive world. Catalogs flyfrom booths, fodder for a plane ride home for many. Numerous socialevents and seminars help fill the day for a showgoer.
This year's event received positive reviews from most as traffic washigh each day. We brought back a few scenes from the show. There will bemore to see in the May issue of Circle Track as we get to theheart of the new products seen for the first time at SEMA. For now,let's just take you into the convention center for a small sample ofwhat the eye could behold.

A small portion of the large crowd at the 2004 SEMA show. With over1,100 displays, crowd estimates of 50,000 are not far from reality. Justwait for a shuttle bus at the end of the show, and you'll begin to seehow many people traveled the floor.Each year, SEMA invites companies with new products to display them in aseparate area. Wily showgoers rush to this display and jot down thenumber of the booth where they can get more information. This year, thenew products were right in the heart of the action at the central hall.Barry Grant unveiled the newest innovation for the small block Chevroleton the first day of the show. We all wondered what was beneath theblanket on display.Companies with new products always hope to be noticed. SEMA holds newproduct awards and, for the second year, the Primedia Technology Awardswere presented. In the Motorsports category, AFCO received the nod forthe two-way torque link. You'll see more on it in the May issue ofCircle Track. Bill Workman of AFCO (left) accepts the awardfrom Circle Track Editor Larry Jewett (center). Hot Rod TVemcee Doc Riley and Primedia's Michelle Turczyn look on.The show featured plenty of display cars, and there were no limits. ThisMopar machine helps display a new lift.Trucks occupy a prominent place at any SEMA show, but there's not enoughroom for all the vehicles. Outside the convention center is a gallery ofvehicles that included this lowered custom GMC. Many arrived early justto look at the cars and trucks outside.
For that night on the town, there are vehicles like this stretchedToyota Tundra. It was impossible to get a picture without someonechecking it out.Ford had a large presence with the introduction of the new Mustang andthe appeal of the GT40 dominating the attention. If you want to be seenat SEMA, you have to do it right because the competition is matchingyour efforts in eye-catching displays.The chopper craze was evident at SEMA as custom bikes were found indisplays like the Miller booth. This custom-made machine also had awelder painted to match. The work of the Orange County Chopper folks ofAmerican Chopper TV fame was scattered throughout.

Fish and Game Commission rejects DFG proposal on striped bass changes
A blue-ribbon panel that hopes to make recommendations that could make the Department of Fish and Game and Fish and Game Commission more efficient recently stated that in theory, the FGC sets policy while the DFG implements that policy.
You notice the panel claims that's "in theory."
In reality, the DFG more often than not will request the FGC to make a necessary change and the FGC OKs the request through a rubber-stamp process.
Case in point: It was reported in this column in November the DFG was holding hearings to make major changes to striped bass fishing, including:
* Raising the daily bag limit of stripers from two fish to six;
* The possession limit would be double the daily bag limit;
* Lowering the minimum size for striped bass from 18 inches to 12;
* Clifton Court Forebay would be a designated "hot spot," where the daily bag limit would be 20 fish with a 40-fish possession limit.
Why? Because these non-native fish were considered a threat to the Delta smelt and newly released baby salmon populations.
OK, striped bass aren't native to California and can be voracious feeders. It was in 1879 when 132 fingerlings were put on a train. They survived the trip and were planted in San Francisco Bay.
Striped bass were introduced to California to feed a fish-hungry population and, 10 years after being planted into bay waters, a commercial fishery opened.
The fishery was banned in 1935 when striped bass were declared to be a game fish and, therefore, could only be fished for by the recreational angler.
Bass thrived in California waters and, yes, probably put a dent in the baby salmon population. But, it took years for the DFG to get a clue. It would release baby salmon by the tens of thousands in Suisun Bay at about the same time every year. Stripers actually learned that schedule and waited with open mouths.
So, the DFG says, OK, we'll simply reduce the threat.
It scheduled a hearing in Rio Vista, which had to be moved because of so much angler interest. The greater interest was against the DFG's proposal.
Today, the limit on striped bass is two per day, 18 inches minimum, with four allowed in possession. Some years ago, the limit was three, 16 inches minimum. I won't keep a striped bass unless it's five to eight pounds, as there isn't enough meat. I wouldn't consider a 12-inch fish as being edible.
Well, there was so much angler outrage to the proposal that the FGC recently voted unanimously to reject DFG's proposal.
Therefore, there are no changes to striped bass fishing in California.
Current fishing
Additional snow in upper-elevation regions will render some lakes inaccessible.
Of course, for summer recreation, we need much more rain and snow. California isn't unique. The fair-weather pattern is happening across much of the nation.
A short storm waltzed across the north state last week, but the again promise of fair weather should get you out in the field with rod and reel, in short-sleeve weather after the sun rises.
Lake Pardee: The spring opening is always highly anticipated by anglers throughout the north state, and because of all the fair weather, that's true for this year. The gate will be unlocked and the entry booth manned on Thursday, Feb. 16, so you can set up for camping. Fishing activities will begin bright and early, Friday, Feb. 17, with most anglers making their first cast of the day considerably before the dawn sheds light in the eastern sky.
Collins Lake: They do some large spring trout plants, and they did a big plant — trout from four to 11 pounds — early this year due to the nice weather. Haul a crawler behind a dodger around the dam. You can also do well with Power Bait or eggs off a sliding sinker around the beach of the campground area at the lower end.
Suisun-San Pablo Bays: I've not had much to say about the sturgeon fishery this year. We just haven't had a winter. Rain causes rivers to rise, which drives out salt water-dependent creatures such as crab, starry flounder, kingfish and even sharks. These critters enjoy pricey sturgeon baits, and most anglers don't want to waste money on a fish they don't want. While there is sturgeon being taken in Suisun Bay and San Pablo Bay, anglers face constant bites from those less-preferred critters swimming with the sturgeon.
Sacramento River: There has been a decent sturgeon bite much closer to home. The waters between the confluence of the Sacramento-Feather rivers upriver to Knights Landing has yielded good catches of humpbacks. The usual shrimp baits should get you bit.
Clear Lake: The good thing this time of year is there isn't much boat traffic and you aren't fighting the summertime moss. There's a lot of bass being caught, many of which weigh more than five pounds, for those drifting live bait or tossing swim baits.
Lake Amador: They're planting up to 1,000 pounds of trout every day during the week. The smaller fish are three pounds, and the bigger fish hit seven. Fish from shore off the rocks of the dam, or the dirt area of the spillway. Power Bait, crawlers and eggs should put a limit on the stringer, but cast and retrieve a lure or white crappie jig while waiting for a bite on the bait rig.
Bass are finally waking up, but you have to go down as much as 40 feet with a jig off the points.
New Melones: Launch at Glory Hole, go around the point and head up the river. There has been a red-hot bite on spawning rainbows. Haul a crawler or shad-like lure. Around Glory Hole, you can do well from shore tossing Power Bait off a sliding sinker.

Hillman, Thammaraks Earn Big 12 Scholar Honors
AMES, Iowa – A pair of Iowa State student-athletes were named Big 12 Scholar-Athletes of the Year for their respective spring sports, the Big 12 Conference announced today.
Junior Christina Hillman was the Big 12's Scholar Athlete of the Year for women's track & field and senior Prima Thammaraks was the league's top scholar for women's golf.
To be eligible for the award, student-athletes must be a junior or senior, have a cumulative GPA of 3.20 or higher and participate in at least 60 percent of the team's scheduled contests.
Hillman, a native of Dover, Delaware, won the shot put titles at both the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships in 2014. She won the indoor national title on the farthest throw of 2014 by a collegiate athlete (59'6.75") and captured the outdoor national title on a come-from-behind performance on her final throw of competition, becoming the Cyclones' first NCAA champion in the event.
Hillman, who is a two-time First-Team Academic All-Big 12 selection, is the Iowa State record-holder in the shot put, both indoors and outdoors, and holds the 16 farthest throws in program history.
Thammaraks, a native of Bangkok, Thailand, was a four-year starter for the women's golf team, helping the program qualify to four-straight NCAA Regionals and the 2014 NCAA Championships, the first appearance by a Cyclone team at the NCAA finals.
Thammaraks posted a 74.38 stroke average, the third-best season scoring mark in school history, while competing in every tournament in 2013-14. She ended the season ranked 135th nationally by Golfweek.
Thammaraks was a three-time First-Team Academic All-Big 12 honoree.
Hillman and Thammaraks join Melvin Ejim (men's basketball) and Michelle Shealy (gymnastics) as Iowa State Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year recipients. For the second year in a row, Iowa State had more scholar-athlete of the year (four) winners than any other school in the Big 12. Iowa State had six Big 12 Scholar-Athlete winners in the inaugural season of the award last year, including two-time winner Ejim.

NEW YORK (NBC) -- Sony has just revealed its new game machine -- the PlayStation 4 -- as well as a new controller with a touch pad, a "share" button and light bar.
"Today marks a moment of truth and a bold step forward for PlayStation as a company," said Andrew House, president and Group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, as he took the stage at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. "Today we will give you a glimpse into the future of play."
House told a room packed full of journalists that the new machine -- the successor to the PlayStation 3 -- would take the moniker PlayStation 4. Sony then revealed the new touch-sensing DualShock controller as well as a new camera that works in conjunction with the controller.
Mark Cerny, the PS4's lead system architect, went on to reveal the powerful guts of the machine explaining, "The architecture we chose is like PC in many ways." He said the PlayStation 4 will have an X86 CPU and 8 gigabytes of unified system memory.
David Perry - CEO and founder of Gaikai - also took the stage. Sony bought his game streaming company last year. He said the integration of the streaming game service Gaikai in the PlayStation store will allow gamers to instantly try games before they buy them.
He said with the "share" button on the controller you can broadcast your live gameplay to your PlayStation Network friends. He said your friends will not only be able to watch your gameplay, but can post comments to your screen. You'll also be able to allow friends to take over your game to assist you in a difficult area or interact in other helpful ways.
"What we're creating is the fastest, most powerful network for gaming the world," Perry said. Our vision is to create the first social gaming network with meaning."
Perry also revealed Remote Play -- which will allow gamers to take their PS4 gaming to Sony's smaller game screen. If you're in the middle of a game on your PS4, you can use Remote Play to instantly transfer your it to Sony's handheld Vita, he said. And their ultimate goal is to make it so all PS4 games will be playable on the Vita.
So what games will be coming to the PlayStation 4? Hermen Hulst, co-founder of Guerrilla Games, took to the stage to introduce "Killzone: Shadowfall" a stunning looking futuristic shooter. And Matt Southern from Evolution Studios showed off the ultra-realistic "Drive Club" racing game.
"We've gone borderline insane with the real-world details," he said, showing off the ultra fine details that can be seen on the cars in the game.
Meanwhile, Sucker Punch's Nate Fox revealed the new game from the studio that brought us the "InFamous" series. He said "Second Son" will be a PlayStation 4 exclusive.
Sony has long been rumored to be working on the PlayStation 4. Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo have been duking it out for years, vying to be the prime purveyor of home video games and, in recent years, other home entertainment as well. But Sony's news today is the opening shot in an all new console war.
It's been six years since Sony launched the PlayStation 3 and seven years since Microsoft launched its competing Xbox 360. Late last year, Nintendo revealed the Wii U -- its new home game machine and the successor to the Wii. But so far, the Wii U's lackluster sales and technical specs that make it seem more on par with the current generation Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 suggest this machine is more of an interim step in the three-way gaming battle.
With Microsoft rumored to be working on its own new home game console (which it will reportedly unveil in the coming weeks), it is Sony and Microsoft who are widely expected to offer up powerful new game machines that leverage the Internet in new ways. And so they are expect to go head-to-head in the coming years, vying for the same demographic and to become the all-important entertainment hub in your household.

Obama student loan action offers relief
President Obama announced today new executive actions to lift the burden of student loan debt, including an expansion of the criteria for an alternative student loan repayment program.
He signed a new Presidential Memorandum directing the Secretary of Education to propose regulations that would allow nearly 5 million additional federal direct student loan borrowers the opportunity to cap their student loan payments at 10 percent of their income.
"I'm only here because this country gave me a chance through education," Obama said, according to the Associated Press. "We are here today because we believe that in America, no hard-working young person should be priced out of a higher education."
The Presidential Memorandum also outlines a series of new executive actions aimed to support federal student loan borrowers, especially for vulnerable borrowers who may be at greater risk of defaulting on their loans.
The alternative payment programs are designed to help borrowers struggling under the weight of student loans. They include forgiveness programs for on-time payments and public-sector employees. Teachers can have their balance canceled after ten years, for example.
Low-income borrowers can have their balance canceled after 20 or 25 years of on-time payments.
Many student loan borrowers are working and trying to responsibly make their monthly payments, but still struggle with debt.
According to a White House press release, a 2009 graduate earning about $39,000 a year as a fourth-year teacher, with student loan debt of $26,500, would have his or her initial monthly payments reduced by $126 under the President's Pay As You Earn plan compared with monthly payments under the standard repayment plan and would see a reduction in annual loan payments of more than $1,500.
The Department will begin the process to amend its regulations this fall with a goal of making the new plan available to borrowers by December 2015. The plan, which will cap student loan payments at 10 percent, may also increase the total amount paid over time, as interest on a loan would be paid for a longer period.
The president also voiced his support for and urged Congress to pass legislation that could help an estimated 25 million Americans refinance outstanding student loans at lower interest rates, the same as those available to federal student loan borrowers taking out loans this year. This move could save a typical student $2,000 over the life of his or her loans.
On Tuesday, President Obama is scheduled for a live Q&A with Tumblr founder and CEO David Karp, and will answer questions directly from consumers across the country as well as discuss student loan debt and other education topics.
Tumblr is currently soliciting questions for this live chat.
Obama's answers will be streamed live on the White House Tumblr account.
Over the past three decades, the average tuition at a public four-year college has more than tripled, while a typical family's income has barely budged. More students than ever are relying on loans to pay for college. Today, 71 percent of those earning a bachelor's degree graduate with debt, which averages $29,400. While most students are able to repay their loans, many feel burdened by debt, especially as they seek to start a family, buy a home, launch a business, or save for retirement.
Information from CNN and the Associated Press was used in this report.

(SportsNetwork.com) - After snapping the longest home losing streak in
franchise history, the Calgary Flames will try to create some momentum on
their current residency as they tangle with the Nashville Predators on Friday
The Flames snapped a seven-game skid as the hosting club on Wednesday, holding
on for a 3-2 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes. Calgary had been outscored 22-4
and shut out four times over its home skid, but Matt Stajan's goal late in the
second period held up as the winner versus the Coyotes.
Rookie Sean Monahan netted his team-leading 14th goal, Lance Bouma also scored
and Karri Ramo made 30 saves as the Flames snapped a four-game overall slide
with their first win at home since Dec. 23 versus St. Louis.
"We needed that," said Stajan, who signed a four-year, $14 million contract
extension on Monday. "We've been fighting it here on home ice, there's no
secret to that. We got some timely goals and Ramo did a good job there. And as
a team, we didn't give up much. Most of the shots were from the outside. We
can start building off that one."
The Flames play the second contest of their five-game homestand tonight and
are expected to give Ramo the start again. He faced the Predators for the
first time in his career on Jan. 14, giving up four goals on 34 shots in a 4-2
road loss.
Lee Stempniak and Mikael Backlund had the goals in a losing effort, with Jiri
Hudler assisting on both. Ryan Ellis and Craig Smith scored within the first
2:40 of the third period for the Predators, who won their third straight over
the Flames.
Carter Hutton made 22 saves for Nashville in the rookie's first ever encounter
with Calgary.
The Preds have lost two straight, four of five and eight of their last 12 in
Calgary, but are coming off Thursday's 2-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks
that was Nashville's first this season when trailing after two periods.
The Predators were 0-21-2 in games when they trailed after 40 minutes, but
Nick Spaling assisted on Smith's tying goal before netting the game-winner at
the 12:38 mark of the frame.
Spaling fed Smith with a behind-the-net pass 3:28 into the third period and
put home his winner by deflecting a shot by rookie defenseman Seth Jones'
point shot.
"We fell behind early, but it was a good job of staying with it and we managed
to come back," Spaling said.
Nashville claimed the opener of a four-game road trip and has won two straight
as well as four of its last five games. The club last won three in a row from
Dec. 10-14.
Last night featured the Predators debut of defenseman Michael Del Zotto,
acquired from the New York Rangers in a trade a day earlier for blueliner
Kevin Klein.
Del Zotto was paired with Jones and logged 13:15 of ice time, though the
offensive-minded defender did not see power play time.
Though Hutton won his fourth straight start, yielding seven goals in that
span, the Predators could still opt to give Devan Dubnyk his second start in a
Nashville uniform tonight.
Acquired earlier this month from Edmonton, Dubnyk yielded five goals on 29
shots on Jan. 18 in a loss to Colorado in his Nashville debut.
However, Dubnyk is 6-4-2 with a 2.27 goals against average in his career
versus the Flames, shutting them out with 27 saves when he faced them on Dec.
27 with the Oilers.

Reviews for Pecan Butterscotch Cookies
"I substituted coconut cream pudding mix for the butterscotch and added 1 cup of white chocolate chips. Amazing!!!"
"I have mixed feelings about these cookies - they were quick to put together and satisfied the initial craving, but weren't really drop-dead delicious and the next day they just tasted crumbly and like 'package mix'. Don't think I would make them again."
"OMG! These cookies just melt in your mouth!! Please try them!! For the butter portion---you must go by the markings on the butter stick.... Do not use just a measuring cup....... That might be why some of the ladies here didn't have too much luck. But I made a double batch when I made these."
"I was excited to try these because I love butterscotch. Super easy to make the cookie dough - BUT, I was so disappointed with the end product. This recipe definitely needs something. It has a butterscotch taste, but I agree with the reviewer that said it was like having a mouthful of dry pancake mix. This recipe will be going in the trash."
"I followed the recipe just as it stated and while the cookies were soft and chewy, they had no flavor and a bad after taste. Definitely a fail and I won't be making these again."

Hi there—you're looking for Windows 10 info! We put that stuff in a new spot. Try this link instead:
Show libraries in File Explorer
For other Windows 10 content, browse our top categories and trending topics.
Libraries gather folders that are stored in different locations so you can browse them in one place.
Here are answers to some common questions about libraries in Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1.
They're still there, and they work the way they did before, they're just hidden from the left pane in File Explorer by default. You can still get to them under Favourites by opening Desktop. If you've customised your libraries and want to see them in the left pane, tap or click View, tap or click Navigation pane, then choose Show libraries.
Your libraries include the Documents folder on your PC as well as the Documents folder on OneDrive.
Some applications let you browse your PC to select folders to add. You can also add folders in File Explorer. To do this:
Browse to the folder you want to add, then press and hold or right-click it.
Tap or click Include in library, then select the library you want to add the folder to.
Just after you add a folder to a library, searches and views of the folder might appear to be incomplete. This is because Windows is still indexing the folder.
You can include folders in a library from many different locations.
On your C drive, or other internal drives on your PC
On a CD or DVD
On a USB flash drive, SD card, microSD card or portable external hard drive
Yes, but the files and folders will be available only when the device or drive is connected.
On a network
Yes, as long as the network location is indexed, or the folder has been made available offline. (See the following question.)
On a different PC in your homegroup
On a network-attached storage (NAS) device
Only folders can be included in libraries. Individual files and other items can't be included.
If you upgraded your PC from an earlier version of Windows, each of your libraries will contain a Public folder. The Public folders are a convenient way of sharing files with everyone who uses your PC or everyone on your network. For example, if you and other family members share a PC, you can put all of your family pictures in the Public Pictures folder so that everyone can get to them easily and add, delete and edit photos.
You can use the Photos app to import photos and videos into your Pictures library. For more information, see Importing photos and videos from a camera, phone or DVD
You can print a document from a library without even opening the document. To do this, browse to the document, press and hold or right-click it, then tap or click Print. To print multiple documents at once, select each document you want to print, press and hold or right-click one of them, then select Print. In an open document, you can use the print command that's typically found in a menu at the top of the document – you can also try pressing Ctrl+P.
This message might appear if a library has been damaged. Here's how to solve this problem:
Open File Explorer by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the top-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, then clicking Search), entering File Explorer in the search box, then tapping or clicking File Explorer.
Tap or click View, tap or click Navigation pane, then select Show libraries if it is not already selected.
In the left pane, press and hold or right-click Libraries, then tap or click Restore default libraries.
This message appears if you try to add a network location that isn't indexed. The easiest way to index it so you can include it in a library is to enable offline files on your PC and make the network folder available offline. (In File Explorer, tap or click Home, tap or click Easy access and choose Always available offline.) When you do this, the files are added to the search index on your PC.
You might get this message if you've used an application to add a folder that isn't indexed (like a network folder) to a library. Searching, sorting and filtering in the library will all be slow. To make these tasks faster, remove the location from the library. If it's important to you to keep the folder in a library, you can create a new library for just that folder so that it won't slow down searching, sorting and filtering in any other library locations.
Libraries are new in Windows 7. Here are answers to some common questions about libraries.
Libraries are where you go to manage your documents, music, pictures, and other files. You can browse your files the same way you would in a folder, or you can view your files arranged by properties like date, type, and author.
In some ways, a library is similar to a folder. For example, when you open a library, you'll see one or more files. However, unlike a folder, a library gathers files that are stored in several locations. This is a subtle, but important, difference. Libraries don't actually store your items. They monitor folders that contain your items, and let you access and arrange the items in different ways. For instance, if you have music files in folders on your hard disk and on an external drive, you can access all of your music files at once using the Music library.
Windows has four default libraries: Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos. You can also create new libraries. For more information, see Create a new library.
Here are some ways you can modify an existing library:
Include or remove a folder. Libraries gather content from included folders, or library locations. You can include up to 50 folders in one library. For more information, see Include folders in a library.
Change the default save location. The default save location determines where an item is stored when it's copied, moved, or saved to the library. For more information, see Customize a library.
Change the type of file a library is optimized for. Each library can be optimized for a certain file type (such as music or pictures). Optimizing a library for a certain file type changes the available options for arranging your files. For more information, see Customize a library.
If you delete a library, the library itself is moved to the Recycle Bin. The files and folders that were accessible in the library are stored elsewhere and therefore aren't deleted. If you accidentally delete one of the four default libraries (Documents, Music, Pictures, or Videos), you can restore it to its original state in the navigation pane by right-clicking Libraries and then clicking Restore default libraries.
If you delete files or folders from within a library, they're also deleted from their original locations. If you want to remove an item from a library but not delete it from the location it's stored in, you should remove the folder containing the item. When you remove a folder from a library, all the items in the folder will be removed (but not deleted). For more information, see Include folders in a library.
Similarly, if you include a folder in a library and then delete the folder from its original location, the folder is no longer accessible in the library.
If a folder from a non-indexed location (such as an external hard drive or a network) was recently included in a library and it contains a large number of files, it might take some time for the library to add those files to the index. During the indexing process, searches and file arrangements might appear incomplete. For more information about indexing, see Improve Windows searches using the index: frequently asked questions.
You can include folders in a library from many different locations, such as your computer's C drive, an external hard drive, or a network.

On a USB flash drive
Only if the device appears in the navigation pane, under Computer, in the Hard Disk Drives section. This is set by the device manufacturer, and in some cases, it can be changed. Contact your manufacturer for more information.
The content won't be available if the drive is disconnected.
On removable media (such as a CD or DVD)
On a network
Yes, as long as the network location is indexed, or the folder has been made available offline. (See the question below.)
On a different computer in your homegroup
Yes. For more information, search Windows Help and Support for "Add computers to a homegroup."
Only folders can be included in libraries. Other items on your computer (such as saved searches and search connectors) can't be included.
It means that the folder is stored on a network location that hasn't been indexed. A network folder can only be included in a library if the content of the folder has been added to the search index. If the folder is already indexed on the device where it's stored, you should be able to include it directly in the library.
If the network folder is not indexed, an easy way to index it is to make the folder available offline. This will create offline versions of the files in the folder and add these files to the search index on your computer.
After you make a folder available offline, you can include it in a library.
When you make a network folder available offline, copies of all the files in that folder will be stored on your computer's hard disk. Take this into consideration if the network folder contains a large number of files.
While connected to the network, locate the network folder that you want to make available offline.
Right-click the folder, and then click Always available offline.
If you don't see the Always available offline command in the right-click menu for a network folder, you might be using an edition of Windows 7 that doesn't support offline files.
If the network folder you're trying to include is stored on a computer that's running an older version of Windows, you might be able to make it compatible with Windows 7 libraries by installing Windows Search 4.0 on the computer, and then indexing it. For more information about Windows Search 4.0, see the Windows Search website.

Time may be right. Always beat up by years end due to reckless play. Always partying on injured limbs. We have Hernadez, Fells, Ballard, Hooman.
Package him up with Wes and send him to Arizona for Larry!!! Doh! (in my homer voice)
I love Gronk, He is a great kid, but he is still a kid IMO. Doesnt seem to too mad about losing the last SB. Need more HUMBLE players like the Pats of old who work hard, keep their mouths shut and produce. He is a great player but im thinking too much money invetsed into 2 TIGHT ENDS who BOTH are hurt every year.

Smell the Coffee: How bad was this day? Let me commence
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- I was telling a friend about the terrible day I was having when he started laughing. He apologized for laughing, and then started laughing some more.
"I'm sorry," he said. "At least your column's going to be easy this week. I'll even give you your first line: 'Top this.'"
I expect the hardest part will be fitting it in the space I'm allotted.
This past Friday, my daughter and I took a vacation day to go to Ohio to visit my niece's journalism class and see her in a school play that same night. Since my car complains so loudly over its daily eight-mile commute, we stopped by Enterprise and picked up a rental. A great little car. Mazda 6.
The first half of the trip was perfect. Impressive school. Great play. Stayed up late catching up. In the morning, we saw my oldest niece in a horse show and then visited her new house. Aside from getting turned around when trying to find the interstate again, all was going so smooth.
Until my right foot got in more of a hurry to get home than it should have.
In my own defense, I was attempting to set the cruise control when the blue lights appeared. I tried to explain that it was a rental and I'd never had a car with cruise before, but every word I spoke seemed to anger him more. It's no wonder Ohio drivers are so maddeningly slow. They've been conditioned.
Calculating what the ticket meant to my already tenuous finances occupied my thoughts for the rest of the drive. To say I was in a black mood was an understatement.
We were just outside Charleston when one of my daughter's friends texted to ask if Celeste could stay the night. Since she had her things in the car, I said I'd take her straight there. As she'd never been to this friend's home in St. Albans before, she called and got directions. Twenty minutes or so later, we were driving down the girl's street. We couldn't see the house numbers in the dark, so Celeste called and asked her friend to come outside so we could find her.
"Oh," said the friend. "Guess I should've told you. I'm not there."
You'd think that at some point while giving directions, it might occur to a person to mention that they aren't actually at the place they're detailing how to find. But no. We'd driven 20 minutes out of our way for nothing.
After dropping Celeste off where her friends actually were, I pulled up in front of my house. And immediately realized I didn't have a key. I'd left mine with the friend who was watching my dogs.
No big deal, I told myself. It's a somewhat rickety old house. Shouldn't be that hard to get in. Rather than drive a half-hour to get a key, I decided I'd take a shot at breaking in.
I went from door one to the next, giving each some pretty hard kicks, thinking I could just pop one open like they do on TV. Nothing doing. Those doors were thoroughly uncooperative. I moved on to the windows, shoving and cussing and making nearly as much racket with them as I did with the doors.
But I eventually found a basement window that had been left unlocked.
Except it had been left unlocked because it was too small for someone to fit through.
I've now gone back and measured. The opening is 11 inches high. I'm ever so much bigger than 11 inches. Still, I channeled my inner Rubberman and poured myself through that wee opening, then squirted onto the floor with a loud clatter. It wasn't pretty or painless, but I was inside. Now I could take a hot bath and put on some Christmas music and read myself to sleep.
Except my bad day wasn't over. Oh, no. It wasn't even close. The closing credits hadn't yet started to roll.
When I reached the top of the stairs, I was greeted by my two severely frenzied dogs. I soon realized they had been racing at full speed all around the house, urinating the entire time I'd been trying to get in. Apparently, their strategy for dealing with burglars is to drown them. Or perhaps gross them out to a degree where they'd flee.
I visualized one dog calling out as he ran, "A moat! A moat! Hurry! Build a moat!"
I did not appreciate their attempt. No, I didn't. There's not a single item in my home with a value that warrants such an extreme level of protection.
I spent the next hour scrubbing my floors, the whole time cursing Ohio and thoughtless teenagers and dogs -- and myself, for not having hidden a key. Once I was done, I went out to the car to retrieve my bag and overnight case.
And I hadn't yet reached the bottom step when I heard the door slam shut behind me.

Rating of Evidence: I = data from randomized controlled trials; II = data from well-designed nonrandomized trials or observational cohort studies with long-term clinical outcomes; III = expert opinion
Approximately 5%–10% of HIV-infected persons also have chronic HBV infection, defined as testing positive for HBsAg for more than 6 months.1 The progression of chronic HBV to cirrhosis, end-stage liver disease, and/or hepatocellular carcinoma is more rapid in HIV-infected persons than in persons with chronic HBV alone.2 Conversely, chronic HBV does not substantially alter the progression of HIV infection and does not influence HIV suppression or CD4 cell responses following ART initiation.3-4 However, several liver-associated complications that are ascribed to flares in HBV activity, discontinuation of dually active ARVs, or toxicity of ARVs can affect the treatment of HIV in patients with HBV coinfection.5-7 These include the following:
Recommendations for HBV/HIV-Coinfected Patients
Preferred regimen. The combination of TDF + FTC or TDF + 3TC should be used as the NRTI backbone of a fully suppressive ARV regimen and for the treatment of HBV infection.17-19 (AII).
Alternative regimens. If TDF cannot safely be used, entecavir should be used in addition to a fully suppressive ARV regimen (AII); importantly, entecavir should not be considered to be a part of the ARV regimen20 (BII). Due to a partially overlapping HBV-resistance pathway, it is not known if the combination of entectavir + 3TC or FTC will provide additional virologic or clinical benefit compared with entecavir alone. In persons with known or suspected 3TC-resistant HBV infection, the entecavir dose should be increased from 0.5 mg/day to 1 mg/day. However, entecavir resistance may emerge rapidly in patients with 3TC-resistant HBV infection. Therefore, entecavir should be used with caution in such patients with frequent monitoring (~ every 3 months) of the HBV DNA level to detect viral breakthrough. Other HBV treatment regimens include peginterferon alfa monotherapy or adefovir in combination with 3TC or FTC or telbivudine in addition to a fully suppressive ARV regimen;17, 21-22 however, data on these regimens in persons with HIV/HBV coinfection are limited (BII). Due to safety concerns, peginterferon alfa should not be used in HIV/HBV-coinfected persons with cirrhosis.

Hello everyone
I've just gone live with our new Zimbra server. Everything seems to be working OK, which is a relief!
I have an issue getting email from Outlook Express to Zimbra though. This is my strategy...
1) Load the users's Zimbra account into OE via IMAP.
2) Drag the local folders across to Zimbra.
3) Job done
This worked fine on my test machine, however on the first user's machine I try, I OE won't let me drag folders onto the Zimbra server. It will let me drag individual emails though - but this isn't really a feasible option.
Has anyone any ideas how I can get round this?

Q. The recently issued ACI 318-08 Building Code contains several important changes. Do any revisions affect the methods or practices we use to design, mix, or deliver concrete?
A. At the ACI Chicago chapter meeting in September, Dr. Anthony Fiorato, who serves on ACI Committee 318, Standard Building Code, thoroughly explained how the new version will affect producers. The past president of ACI also provided some background on the document before outlining the changes.
While the new ACI document is now available, it could be some time before its provisions directly affect producers' activities. Local jurisdictions adopt and enforce the U.S. building codes.
This allows those local jurisdictions to establish the minimum requirements they feel are necessary to provide for the public health, safety, and general welfare of their citizens. In most circumstances, the building code designates the minimum requirements a design professional may choose regarding the structural design criteria, materials, and construction provisions.
Designers, contractors, material suppliers, and testing laboratories must understand the letter of the particular code or specification being used. Fiorato is concerned that many material suppliers and contractors pay little attention to ACI 318's materials, durability, and construction requirements.
"There can be unanticipated costs and problems with buildings when there are misunderstandings about, or violations of, these requirements," he said.
With the changes to ACI 318 for 2008, there are some significant implications for all parties involved in the design and construction process.
The new document now clarifies that concrete standards for residential construction are now outlined in ACI 332, Requirements for Residential Concrete Construction and Commentary. Licensed design professionals should use ACI 332 for the design and construction of cast-in-place concrete for one- and two-family dwellings and multiple single-family dwellings.
There has also been a reference that water used in mixing concrete shall conform to ASTM C1602. But with the revision to ASTM documents, producers may also have the option to use recycled water in certain mixes.
Admixtures for water reduction and setting time modification shall conform to ASTM C494. Admixtures for producing flowing concrete shall conform to ASTM C 1017. Air-entraining admixtures shall conform to ASTM C 260. All other admixtures used in concrete that do not conform to 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 shall be subject to prior approval by the licensed design professional.

The Personal Retriever by Life-Safer™ is a type V personal floatation device that is approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. Based on the American Red Cross's philosophy to "Reach, Throw, Don't Go," the Personal Retriever is built to be far reaching and safe. When the Personal Retriever is related to other throwable, water rescue tools, there is no comparison.
The Personal Retriever is of lighter flotation, which allows it to go farther when thrown and also makes it easier to carry. Its flying-disc-like design can make it go as far as 100 feet or 33 meters. The floatation device is made using soft foam, which decreases liability in the event that the victim is hit with the Personal Retriever. The expanded poly-ethylene (EPE) foam is durable as well as soft, so it will last and it won't injure.
The Personal Retriever also works faster than usual personal floatation devises. It takes less than 10 seconds to deploy, and does not require you to rewrap the cords for a re-throwing (like you have to with a line bag). When someone is drowning, every second counts, and with the Life-Safer Personal Retriever, within seconds the rescue is on its way. When it comes to safety, the Personal Retriever goes farther, flies faster and lands safer than traditional safety floatation devices.

Michigan Winner Casey Mears Racing No. 13 Valvoline™ NextGen™ Ford Fusion for Germain Racing on Sunday
· - Mears won at MIS in the ARCA Racing Series in 2003, leading 55 of 100 laps
· - Germain Racing has competed in 3 series at MIS earning a best Sprint Cup Series finish of 15th, NNS of 8th and 2nd-place in NCWTS
· - MIS ranks 10th for Casey Mears on list of NSCS tracks by average finish
· - Mears has 321 NSCS starts heading into MIS with 46 top-ten finishes, 12 top-fives, one win and 3 poles
· - Bootie Barker is crew chief for the Valvoline NextGen Fusion and has been with Germain Racing since 2009
Mooresville, N.C. (June 14, 2012) - Germain Racing is proud to race a Valvoline™-sponsored entry for the first time in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series this weekend at Michigan International Speedway. Previously, the team sported the Valvoline colors in NASCAR's other two premier divisions. Sunday, veteran driver Casey Mears will wheel the No. 13 Valvoline NextGen™ Ford Fusion around the freshly repaved 2.0-mile oval.
"The Germain family has had a long-standing relationship with Ashland and the Valvoline products in our automobile dealerships. Valvoline has been a long-time supporter of Germain Racing," explained team owner Bob Germain Jr. "So it's very exciting for us to run the Valvoline NextGen Ford Fusion to help promote the NextGen recycled oil products to NASCAR Sprint Cup Series fans."
In addition to Michigan, Germain Racing will carry the Valvoline NextGen paint scheme at Ashland's hometown race track, Kentucky Speedway.
"I'm very glad to have Valvoline NextGen on and in our Ford Fusion this weekend. Valvoline has supported Germain Racing since 2010 but this will be the first time we have run this paint scheme in the Sprint Cup Series. It's also the first of two races for this partnership, in Michigan and Kentucky so I hope that we will be able to have a couple good runs for them," said Mears. "The NextGen oil is 50-percent recycled so it comes from a better base stock which makes it a better oil as well as a green product to help our environment."
Mears is looking forward to racing at Michigan, although the California native is not sure what his past experience there will bring to the table given the track's fresh pavement.
"I've always enjoyed racing at Michigan," explained Mears. "I liked driving it in the past because of the way it was paved; you could run the top, middle and bottom. But I don't know how the repave is going to change that. It has been a decent track for me though and I've had some really good runs there—finished 2nd two years in a row in Indy Lights and won a race in ARCA. I'm looking forward to going back."

Every year, we have worked increasingly well with Don Fernando Lima – owner of Finca Santa Elena in Santa Ana, El Salvador – to keep perfecting his coffee. This year, he built an impressive area for raised bed drying based on some feedback from us and even implemented fermentation and processing techniques that we had seen used successfully at other farms. One lot using these techniques placed 5th in the El Salvador Cup of Excellence this year. We are super-proud of Don Fernando and Finca Santa Elena this year, and think it is the best coffee the farm has output for us yet: an extraordinary Bourbon variety coffee with notes of pear, nougat, and orange.
Banko Gotiti happened to be shipped to our cupping lab by an exporter working in Ethiopia. We have never been to the farm and don't know the producers, but we know through taste alone that some great things are happening here, and we are looking forward to learning more about the area and producers around Banko Gotiti. It is likely you will see a few more coffees from this tiny village offered from Counter Culture this year. This particular lot of coffee comes from a private washing station focused on quality and offers notes of honeysuckle, lemonade, and raspberry-peach that simply wowed us.
