The Flemish government and the port authorities of Antwerp, Zeebrugge, Ghent and Fluxys have published a feasibility study on LNG bunkering. DNV provided a market forecasting study, a regulatory analysis and modelled the LNG supply logistics. The Flemish government is now acting on DNV recommendations to ensure the safe introduction of LNG bunkering at Flemish seaports.
The market study led to a forecasted LNG bunkering demand for each port derived from shipping and world energy market forecasts, while the logistics model allows the ports to simulate, compare and calculate costs of different LNG bunkering supply chain options. The combined results serve as strategic and tactical decision support tool for the ports in developing their LNG bunkering infrastructure.
The legal and regulatory analysis resulted in a comprehensive listing of applicable local, regional, national, European and international standards and regulations as well as in 23 concrete recommendations indicating gaps in the current framework.
This part of the report is now available online http://www.flanderslogistics.be/fpa/lng-rapport.pdf and the recommendations include the need to develop operational bunkering procedures, and procedures for metering, measurement, fuel sampling and quality control. Additionally, there is a need to initiate the process for accreditation of LNG bunkering companies and a need to perform a training needs analysis for people who board LNG fuelled vessels in their line of duty, for example ship pilots, surveyors, government inspectors, customs officials and rescue services personnel.
"Through the realization of this study on the different aspects for the bunkering of LNG in the Flemish ports, the stricter standards of the IMO for marine fuel sulphur emissions are anticipated, and an important step has been taken towards providing LNG as shipping fuel in the Flemish seaports," said Hilde Crevits, Flemish Minister for Mobility and Public Works.
"Shipowners are working hard to meet the increasingly strict emissions requirements and ports are now responding as the popularity of LNG is becoming apparent," says Torgeir Sterri, DNV Regional Manager Central Europe. It is anticipated that within the next years a considerable share of ships will be LNG fuelled, particularly in short-sea shipping and especially in Emission Control Areas. Ports are gearing up to accommodate this transition and a significant increase in the number of LNG bunkering facilities is expected by 2020.
For this project, DNV has built on its extensive experience in LNG shipping and the LNG industry. DNV is leading the development of rules and recommended practices and heads the ISO workgroup commissioned with the development of LNG bunkering standards. "We bring to the table a unique combination of onshore and offshore risk analysis experience coupled with maritime and class expertise," said Mr Sterri.
"With DNV's background, the Flemish government and the different participants have made an important step forward in the development of LNG as fuel in the region and even beyond. I am confident there is more to come in the region, just stay tuned!!" says Mohamed Houari, DNV Area Manager Solutions, Central Europe who also has supervised this feasibility study for DNV.

Guns N' Roses' Gilby Clarke Recovering From Hit-and-Run Accident Injury
Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke has been discharged from hospital nearly two weeks after he was seriously injured in hit-and-run accident on his motorcycle. The musician was out riding his through Sherman Oaks, California on January 10 when a car turned in front of him, sending him smashing into the side of the vehicle. The other driver allegedly failed to stop after the accident.
He suffered three broken bones in his left foot/ankle and a broken bone in his right foot, and underwent surgery last week, January 11, to fix his shattered limbs. And the rocker has taken to his blog to keep fans informed of his progress.
Clarke writes, "My 1st (sic) surgery went well & I'm home from the hospital. If everything looks good Friday, I can have the 2nd (sic) surgery next week. Thanks again for all the kind thoughts & prayers, they're working."

Trans woman claims she lost her job after wearing women's clothes
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
I hope the Press Complaints Commission proactively takes notice and censors the Lincolnshire Echo for unnecessarily subjecting Ms Millington and her property to potential transphobic attack by callously having published her place of residence in their 2010-08-19 article…
Beat me to it, Brenda!
Why is this company not even named in the article? Anyone know who they are?
I thought it was a requirement that trans people lived as their adopted sex for a year before they had the op. So this person would have had no choice but to dress as a woman.
The Lincolnshire Echo is owned by Northcliffe Media (Daily Mail), so we shouldn't expect anything else. You can try and comment on the story, but they'll probably remove it.
I read comments in the echo pretty nasty stuff I hope she has somewhere
safe stay tonight. you can't trust journos
I hope there are laws to be respected and somebody that enforces them immediately.
Hi Rachel Millington
I too am Transsexual and a support worker for mental health & learning disabilities.
I had no trouble with my employers with my transition. You need to tell them about Diversity & equality.
Then find a company that promotes Diversity & equality, like Home Ltd
All the best to you
Lady Tanya
Disgraceful actions from her employer , she has to live for a woman for a year I understand and her employer should be doing it all it can to help her.
Rachel, if you read this site, I wish you well and hope that you win your case. Trans is complicated for most people to get their heads around – I only just got my head around it after speaking with Trans people on pinknews.
And you should move to Manc, I've never seen as many Trans women in my life – so it must be okay here?
Just to be clear, if you have gender reassignment in England, on the NHS, they insist you live in your 'new' gender role for 2 years not 1. Pretty much the only public health service in the world to do so – everywhere else the protocol is 1 year.
It sounds like Rachel has a cast iron case, as long as she is prudent with how she handles this story and does not let the media mess it up for her. No-one can be sacked 'out of the blue', other than for things like gross misconduct. This sounds like good ole fashion'd transphobic discrimination – illegal.

NEWARK, N.J. — The man charged in a northern New Jersey home invasion and beating that were captured on a nanny cam has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder, robbery, burglary and child endangerment.
Forty-two-year-old Shawn Custis was held Tuesday on $750,000 bail. He was arrested Friday in Manhattan.
The June 21 attack in Millburn was captured on a hidden camera in a woman's home. A man can be seen bursting into the home, punching and kicking the woman and throwing her down the stairs while her 3-year-old daughter cowered on a couch.

But Jim Ludwig of Oregonians for Immigration reform says it's a poke in the eye at immigrants who wait to get into the U.S. legally. Some estimates say as many as 10,000 young illegal immigrants could be affected in Oregon.

Chris Martin wears fat suit to play backstage janitor with a 'big' heart yearning for his True Love in new Coldplay music video
Slim Chris Martin dons a fat suit to show how unfair life can be for others in Coldplay's new music video True Love.
It's not easy either as he's denied from boarding a bus and is forced to take a menial job as janitor at a downtown theatre when what he really wants to do is dance on stage.
There's a girl out there just waiting to meet to him who goes through similar pratfalls due to her generous proportions.
Scroll down for video
Romantic at heart: Chris Martin puts on a blow-up fat suit to portray a backstage janitor in search of the bigger picture in Coldplay's new music video True Love
True Love is Coldplay's third single from their latest album Ghost Stories and the message behind the video is that, in spite of the obstacles blocking our access, 'anything is possible.'
The music video begins with the lead singer in fat suit toddling along to the metro bus and, realising he could never fit through the door, hitches a ride at the rear of the bus on a skateboard to his destination, which is a Los Angeles theatre where there's a ballet rehearsing.
Martin's soothing voice can be heard singing the poignant lyrics, 'For a second I was in control/ I had it once I lost it though...'
Rejected: Chris Martin tries to board a metro bus but is turned away when he's deemed too large
Good thing he brought his skateboard: The rotund character hitches a ride at the rear of the bus
Daydreamer: Chris huffs and puffs his way through more than four minutes of lyrically moving footage
Prima ballerina: A ballet is being cast and a very pretty large girl waits for her audition
A pretty and very large girl (fat suit) hops along to an audition where a line of slender dancers give her sidelong glances.
She's given a resounding 'no' when she hands over her portfolio and instead heads to the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles where, in spite of her large size, dances to her heart's content.
Chris' rotund character gets a menial job as janitor and tosses trash into the dumpster before his 'boss' comes out in the alley and kicks him back to work.
'No': She's so eager to perform but is turned away from the casting directors
All she wants to do is dance: The dancer ends up performing for free on the boardwalk in Venice Beach, California
All work and no play: Chris yearns to be among the performers but he's forced to lug a bucket and mop instead
Alternate plan: Chris makes his own stage on the roof
The ballerina wannabe's home is a trailer and she plops down into chair to rest and daydream.
Meanwhile, back at the theatre, the ballet dancers are rehearsing and Chris the janitor idly steps into the background with his bucket until the director shouts, 'Excuse me!'
A postal worker brings the girl an invite from the theatre, while Chris is shown watering the plants and dancing in his own makeshift stage that he's created outside on the roof of the landmark building.
Invited: The pretty ballerina is invited to attend the ballet
Dream come true: She watches the performance and is moved to tears
Opportune moment: Chris carries on with his own performance on stage and with a mop after the show
Care to dance: The two meet and dance to their hearts content
Take a bow: Chris and his partner wow the audience with their amazing footwork
The marquee blazes 'Big Ballet Premiere' as the big girl tries to find a seat in the audience.
Tears come to her eyes while watching the partners twirl on stage, but when the show is over she finds she can't get out of her little chair.
Chris waltzes onto the stage with his partner, which is really just a mop, and the girl is compelled to join him in a dance making theirs a perfect match.
'So tell me you love me/ If you don't then lie/ Oh lie to me,' the song goes on.
They are then seen performing on the same stage in front of a live and appreciative audience, and video ends with the message 'anything is possible.'
'Anything is possible': It looks like True Love for these two characters

I started this blog post earlier in the month to recognize June as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ)* Pride Month, but the tragedy in Orlando rightly caused the Council and my blog post to change course. As June comes to a close, it seems fitting to celebrate the LGBTQ community and the steps which our society has taken on its journey toward full equality.
Independent Foundations
Private foundations make grants based on charitable endowments. The endowment funds come from one or a small handful of sources -- an individual, a family or a corporation. Because of their endowments, they are focused primarily on grantmaking and generally do not raise funds or seek public financial support the way public charities (like community foundations) must.
Private independent foundations are distinct from private family or corporate foundations in that an independent foundation is not governed by the benefactor, the benefactor's family or a corporation. Of the largest private foundations in the United States, most are independent foundations, although they may have begun as family foundations or were converted from corporate foundations. There is no official IRS or legal definition of independent foundations, so it is difficult to arrive at statistics that are fully representative of the field.
Below is everything on our site for independent foundations. You can use the filtering options on the right to narrow these results.

Since the beginning of May, Josh Beckett had been delivering the types of performances that could only be examined through the perspective of history. On Sunday, that remained the case, but for entirely different reasons.
The Red Sox ace, who enjoyed a period of unrelenting dominance from early May through the middle of August, turned in an outing unlike any other in his career, and indeed, in the last half century.
The Yankees went deep five times off of Beckett, leading New York to an 8-4 triumph in the rubber match of a three-game set against the Red Sox. (Recap.)
It was the most homers that Beckett had ever allowed in his career, and marked just the second time since 1954 that a Sox pitcher had yielded five round-trippers in a game. (The previous one came when Dennis Eckersley endured the beating on July 1, 1979.)
"It was a pretty good ass-whupping, to sum it up," Beckett said. "You can't give up seven and eight runs every damn time you go out there. You're not going to be here very long if you do that.
"Obviously, you tend to remember these. These are humbling deals."
The odd thing was that no single pitch was responsible for Beckett's woes. Both Derek Jeter and Hideki Matsui blasted solo homers on mid-90s fastballs on the first pitches of the first and second innings.
Beckett left both pitches up in the zone, and the Yankees assaulted the offerings.
"He's been struggling to get that good two-seam movement. This team doesn't need help elevating the ball," explained Sox manager Terry Francona. "(Beckett's) fastball, especially early, was a little bit flat. Early, they were hunting first pitch fastball. They got a couple of them."
Robinson Cano and Alex Rodriguez added to the slugfest with homers on curveballs. Matsui finished the damage on another type of fastball – either a two-seamer or cutter – that drifted over the plate.
In short, the Yankees did damage against just about everything in Beckett's arsenal. Even so, New York – now enjoying a comfortable 7.5 game lead in the division – were hardly reveling in their performance.
"When we got pitches to hit, we hit them. It's really not more complicated than that," said Jeter. "He's always tough to face. Even though we got some hits today off him, it's not like guys are running up there to hit off of him. He's tough. Today, we just got some pitches to hit and we hit them hard. I'm pretty sure he'll be fine."
The pitcher said twice that he does not have any physical problems. But in some ways, his clean bill of healthy makes his recent struggles all the more puzzling.
In his first 22 starts this year, spanning 150 innings, Beckett allowed 10 homers. In his last three starts, covering 20.1 innings, he has allowed 10 longballs.
He gave up a pair of solo shots against the Tigers on Aug. 12, was taken deep three times by the Jays on Aug. 18, and then endured his five-blast beating on Sunday. The 10 homers over a three-outing span shattered the pitcher's previous career-high mark of eight, set in 2006.
If there is a silver lining for Beckett, it is that just two of those longballs came with a runner on base. Even so, given that pitching coach John Farrell has said repeatedly that Beckett's success has been premised upon his command down in the strike zone, it would appear that he has been struggling of late to employ that effective formula.
Beckett's vulnerability was of a peculiar sort. He was charged with all eight runs, but because the Yankees took an aggressive approach against him, he had an opportunity to pitch deep into the game. Beckett delivered eight innings, thus turning in just the fourth outing since 1954 in which a pitcher stayed in the game for at least eight innings while giving up five homers.
The others to do so were Hall of Famer Jim Palmer (who was taken deep five times by the Red Sox on June 22, 1977) and former Cy Young winner Pat Hentgen, who endured two such outings (one against the Sox on June 25, 1997, the other against the Indians on May 26, 1995).
That Beckett delivered such a clunker – one start after he got blasted for seven runs in 5.1 innings in Toronto – seemed stunning. Prior to the start against the Jays, after all, Beckett had a 12-2 record and 2.17 ERA over his previous 18 outings. Now, he has allowed 15 runs in his last 13.1 innings spanning two starts.
Even so, the Sox were not ready to sound any alarms – yet.
"The guy is human. No question. He had just been on a run for so long that everyone just expected Josh to go out there and give up a run or two, three tops," said outfielder Jason Bay. "It's just a reminder that it's not that easy and there are bumps in the road. But I don't think there's one guy in here who wouldn't take him again tomorrow. He's one of the best pitchers in the league, and everyone goes through a little stretch."
So long as it is indeed "a little stretch," such as the one that Beckett endured en route to a 2-2 record and 7.22 ERA in April, the team will be able to resume life with the confidence of having a pair of pitchers (in Beckett and Jon Lester) with ace-caliber stuff. But if Beckett's struggles continue, then one of the team's foremost strengths will suddenly turn into cause for alarm.
Here are four other lessons from a series finale that left the possibility of an American League East title as little more than a speck on the horizon for the Sox:
Just two weeks earlier, the walls seemed to be crumbling on the Red Sox. The team scurried out of Yankee Stadium having been smoked in four straight games in New York, following another pair of defeats in Tampa Bay. It was the unquestionable low point of the season.
Most pointedly, the Sox had endured a stretch of 31 straight innings without scoring a run in New York. Even with some excellent pitching performances, the Sox rarely felt like they were able to compete with the Yankees.
This series was different. The Sox posted 17 earned runs against Yankees starters Andy Pettitte (5 IP, 5 ER), A.J. Burnett (5 IP, 9 ER) and CC Sabathia (6.2 IP, 3 ER) in 16.2 innings. That same group had logged 22.1 shutout frames against the Sox during the prior series.
"Offensively, we swung the bat all three days really well, all things considering, especially given who they were throwing out there," said Bay.
"We were in a very tough stretch. We threw the ball extremely well. We just couldn't score a run. Now, things are starting to settle offensively," said Sox catcher Jason Varitek. "I like, for the most part, all in all how we're playing. We've started to play much better over the last week, 10 days. We even played well today. We made CC work. That was good."
In New York, the Sox were scrambling to find bodies so that they could field a major-league lineup, resulting in oddities such as Kevin Youkilis playing left field and left-handed hitter Casey Kotchman being in the lineup against a nasty southpaw like Sabathia.
In this series, the Sox had an entirely different sort of lineup challenge, as they had what seemed like too many options for a nine-man lineup. Both David Ortiz and J.D. Drew, after all, sat for the series finale.
The positive developments did not necessarily stop there. Presuming that Beckett's start on Sunday was an anomaly, the team had reason to feel better about its rotation. While Brad Penny flopped, Junichi Tazawa demonstrated that he has the potential to serve as a viable option against potent lineups.
Moreover, Tim Wakefield is set to return on Wednesday while Daisuke Matsuzaka, who is scheduled to pitch roughly three innings for his first rehab outing in the Rookie Level Gulf Coast League on Monday, has given the Sox at least some cause to believe he might help down the stretch.
"He is significantly stronger in the shoulder, he is significantly leaner in his body, and he is also significantly stronger in his body," said Francona. "There's a lot of reasons to be excited."
That said, the Sox have little reason to think that they can erase their 7.5 game deficit in the American League East. Still, the team believes that if it sustains its level of play from this series going forward, then – armed with a one-game lead in the wild card – they can feel good about their chances of playing into October.
"Obviously, (the division) is getting a little further away and we're running out of time – no question – so you've got to be realistic. But at the same time, your goal is to get into the playoffs. Whatever way you can do that, at least you're in," said Bay. "I think what goes unnoticed around here is that we are in first place for the other remaining playoff spot.
"We're not really chasing anyone else in the other race. In some regards, we call our own destiny," Bay continued. "That sometimes goes unnoticed when you're playing New York and people want to make a huge deal out of it. But we won the Wild Card last year and made it to Game 7 of the ALCS."
To no one's surprise, after Brad Penny got shelled on Friday and Junichi Tazawa delivered six scoreless innings against the Yankees on Saturday, the Sox committed to keeping Tazawa in the rotation. The Japanese rookie will pitch on Thursday, while Penny will be relegated to an insurance option.
Penny will be available in the bullpen as a long reliever when Wakefield makes his return on Wednesday and, presuming that he is not used that night, again on Thursday when Tazawa takes the mound. If he does not pitch on either of those days, Penny will throw a simulated game on Friday to remain stretched out.
"We don't just want to turn him into a reliever," Francona said of Penny. "That's not in anybody's best interest. But we want to protect the club, we want to help him. That's about as far as we can go. And we communicated that to him today."
Penny has made just four career appearances as a reliever – two that came on the final day before All-Star breaks (in 2000 and 2006), the other two coming last September when he was trying to see if he was healthy enough to contribute to the Dodgers (he wasn't).
His current outlook is unclear, as the right-hander suggested that he does "not really" have a sense of how he fits into the team's plans going forward this year.ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂè

Penny (7-8, 5.61) is 1-5 with a 7.82 ERA in his last seven starts.
It started on Saturday. Relievers Jonathan Papelbon and Manny Delcarmen, upon learning that the Sox were trying to acquire Mets reliever Billy Wagner after having claimed him on waivers from the Mets, expressed some hesitancy about the merits of such a deal.
The two Sox hurlers cited uncertainty about the pitcher's health and the potentially unsettling nature of role changes that would occur if Wagner was brought to Boston. The two pitchers cited the Eric Gagne deal in 2007 to suggest that trades intended to improve a club sometimes have disappointing outcomes.
On Sunday, a pack of reporters sought clarification from Papelbon. The Sox closer suggested that a reliever of Wagner's caliber would certainly be a boon to a bullpen. Even so, he again cited the Gagne precedent, and expressed concerns that the addition of another reliever could threaten "the dynamic" of the Sox bullpen. He suggested that a decision about whether to deal for Wagner was not "cut and dried."
In New York, Wagner gushed about his general enthusiasm for pitching in Boston, but expressed annoyance to reporters about Papelbon's comments.
"When he walks in my shoes, then I'll say something," Wagner told reporters. "Let him be 38 and have Tommy John and come back."
Yet that back and forth probably was less central to the issue of a potential move by the Sox to acquire Papelbon than Wagner's no-trade clause.
According to Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com, the Red Sox' efforts to acquire reliever Billy Wagner from the Mets were in "serious jeopardy" due to Boston's unwillingness to grant two conditions that Wagner and his agent, Bean Stringfellow, established for the pitcher to waive his no-trade clause.
Wagner and Stringfellow, according to the report, asked the Sox to guarantee that they will not pick up his $8 million option for 2010, and also wanted the Sox to commit to not offering the pitcher salary arbitration.
Such conditions would be designed to make the pitcher as attractive as possible as he seeks a job as a closer for the 2010 season. The Sox, on the other hand, would likely want to have either the chance to control Wagner's 2010 rights on what could be a relatively affordable $8 million option (a reasonable salary, should he continue to demonstrate that he is healthy over the rest of this year) or the chance to offer the pitcher salary arbitration so that they could receive two draft picks if he left as a free agent.
Rosenthal said that the Sox might still be interested in trading for Wagner as a rental, but that they would not offer the same prospect value to the Mets under such a scenario.
The Sox claimed Wagner on waivers on Friday. The Mets have until Tuesday at 1 p.m. to grant the claim outright, to work out a trade for Wagner, or to pull the pitcher back off of waivers and keep him for the rest of the year.
It would appear that the hours leading up to the Tuesday deadline have the potential for intense drama.
With Wakefield returning, Victor Martinez will get the honors on Wednesday as the catcher entrusted with the responsibility of trying to corral knuckleballs. Martinez has caught one of Wakefield's side sessions, and he has also been practicing with the knuckleball machine that bullpen coach and catching instructor Gary Tuck has rigged.
Indeed, the Sox toted the piece of equipment with them on their last roadtrip, "which I'm sure the airline appreciated," chuckled Francona.
The Sox would like to see if Martinez can handle the knuckler. If so, then Martinez will likely get more work with Wakefield down the stretch. If not, then the team will likely return to the pairing of Wakefield and catcher George Kottaras (currently eligible to come off the D.L., Kottaras will almost surely be activated on Sept. 1) for the final month of the season.
Francona said that he would like to have Varitek work with Beckett and Lester going forward, given the familiarity and track record of success for those partnerships.

What is Business Process Outsourcing?
Business process outsourcing (BPO) is the external contracting of services such as data management, accounting and creative design with a service provider. In contrast, manufacturing outsourcing involves businesses arranging for production of goods through a contract manufacturer.
This straightforward distinction can be more important than it might seem at first glance — while only companies engaged in producing goods will periodically use manufacturing outsourcing, all organizations in the private, public and government sectors can benefit from outsourcing various services to an external provider. For example, businesses of all sizes have functions like payroll and human resources that often require expert help from outside the organization.
Outsourcing is becoming more common as companies [Continue reading]

Regretably this administration, maybe without knowing it, is killing the economy with all the taxes and regulations. And it's going to get worse before it gets better.
Hey, you won't just feel it in social security, etc. You'll feel it in your healthcare and your electric and gas bills as well as they charge you more to pay for their pet programs. It's the 70's bunch that wanted to put their ideas into practice THEN, but couldn't so now that they're in charge, they've found a way to do it.
As long as people rely on society to boost them up instead of working up on their own, this will be the result.

They are the same reason your food bill is going up too. Has nothing to do with the big bad farmer or the store. They're simply passing on the cost.
Go figure. The government through the doctor's unions has a cap on who can graduate from med school and practice.(which affects what you pay) They pay farmers NOT to raise crops.(reduced supply; higher cost) The San Juaquin valley USED to be the glory of California raising crops.(more imported food) No more because of water restrictions and environmental concerns about 'endangered' wildlife.
Look at what the price of meat and milk has done.

Pension system lags amid costly fees
Orange County's public pension system poured money into hedge funds, private equity and other alternative investments during the past six years, but the returns have proven mediocre despite costing the system millions in fees.
This year alone, the fund is expecting to pay $54.5 million in alternative investment fees.
The fund's focus on alternatives has cost it: The stock market earned 22 percent over the last year, while the Orange County Employee Retirement System's investments earned just 9 percent. And OCERS overall performance has lagged behind other public pension systems during the three years since the recession. Among 88 of the largest pension systems in the country, OCERS ranked 86th.
