ZF-6533: Router begins to treat '@' as a special character in version 1.8, which should be noted in "Migrating from Previous Versions" section
Zend_Controller_Router_Route used to treat '@' as a normal character, so I use it like 'user' => new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('@/:user_name/*', array('module' => $defaultModuleName, 'controller' => 'user')), it works on zf1.7 with http://example.com/@/your_name.
In 1.8, zf treats '@' as a marker of translated segment, so the above code does not work but throws an exception. http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/…
To make it work as same as 1.7, I need to modify strangely like the following. 'user' => new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('@/:user_name/*', array('module' => $defaultModuleName, 'controller' => 'user'), array(), new Zend_Translate('array', array('' => '@'))),
I do not know it's the great way or not, but anyway this behavior change leads a backword-compatibility break, so that it should be noted in the migrating section in the document. http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/…
Except mentioning that in the migration chapter, we could also allow escaping special chars (being colon ":" and at "@" in the beginning of a segment). Thus you would be able to use them again without a dirty workaround.
Maybe that's right, but I think every zf change that the zf-user needs to change his/her code should be noted in the migration chapter. Even if you have introduce the escape character (or a way to change special characters), zf-user needs a small mod to add an escape character, so still it should be noted in the migration chapter.
Whoops, I meant "Beside mentioning that..."
Escaping for beginning special characters is now :: and @@
@character is no a special character in the beginning of a route segment. You mean "now a special character"?
Yes, that is what's meant. The typo was solved yesterday, and will be put online within a few days (probably with the release of 1.8.1).
Closing for now.

Turkish Airlines Safety Film Launch…
Manchester United today helped to launch Turkish Airlines latest on board luxury – an inflight safety video featuring the players themselves!
Turkish Airlines have turned to the stars of Manchester United in a bid to make safety and inflight comfort information more engaging for their passengers. The video features Wayne Rooney, Darren Fletcher, Chris Smalling, Nani, Rafael and Fabio da Silva recreating scenes a little different from the standard safety video.
The team mates feature in comedic sketches that play on the descriptions given in the official voiceover of the correct safety procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency. Turkish Airlines are hoping that this unique approach will encourage passengers to pay close attention to the video and highlight the importance of inflight safety.
The inflight video follows Manchester United's involvement in the current Turkish Airlines television commercial and forms part of the airline's on-going sponsorship deal with the club.
The video will be screened in cabins on all Turkish Airlines flights from June 2011.
Wayne Rooney: "It's always good fun to work with your team mates away from the pitch and today's filming has been great. Hopefully our involvement with the video will make people more safety aware when travelling with Turkish Airlines. "
Turkish Airlines Senior Vice President-Media Relations, Dr. Ali Genc: "We're very proud to once again be collaborating with Manchester United. The club is an incredibly strong brand and we hope that our customers benefit from the relationship that has been developed between Turkish Airlines and Manchester United. Manchester United is one team that we're always happy to work with!"
About Manchester United
Manchester United is the biggest football club in the world. It has an estimated 333 million fans across the globe. Its home at Old Trafford which celebrated its centenary in 2010 reflects the rich history that surrounds the Club. The first English Club to compete in the European Cup, its visionary manager Sir Matt Busby later led the team to the first English triumph in that competition in 1968. In modern times, Sir Alex Ferguson – also knighted by HM The Queen for his outstanding contribution to football – has led the Club to more European, domestic and world success - including this week, securing a record 19th English league title.

Did you get engaged this holiday season? If so, congratulations! After you announce your engagement, you'll probably be anxious to start planning your big day. One of the first things you'll probably want to do, is to select your bridesmaids.
These special women are hand selected by you, because of the love and support they have shown through different stages of your life. This is a time have them stand beside you, on one of the most important days of your life. These lovely ladies will be there to help you with your wedding, when the need arises. They will plan your bridal shower and bachelorette parties, they will straighten your gown, hold your flowers, and dab away your tears of joy. It is their responsibility to do all they can to make your special day as happy and stress free as possible, because that's exactly what you would do for them.
Your bridesmaids will give you priceless participation; so it is natural for you to want to say "thank you" in a very special way. Here are some fabulous bridesmaid gifts and ideas on how you can pamper your bridesmaids.
Throw Them a Party!
A Bridesmaid luncheon is a fantastic way to thank your beautiful attendants, for having your back and keeping you grounded. It can really be as simple or elaborate as you - and your budget - want it to be. Whatever you decide to do - I assure you - your bridesmaids will feel special and appreciated. As an added touch, it would be very meaningful to present each bridesmaid with the gift of an elegant, personalized compact.
Treat Them to a Spa Day
What girl doesn't love a little spa action. It doesn't have to be an all day thing -- unless you want it to be. Just getting all the gals together for a pedicure can really de-stress. It also shows your bridesmaids, that you realize just how hard they are working to make your wedding day perfect! At the Spa you can then present them with some of their own personalized flip-flops. These flip-flops are not only super special, since they can be personalized for each bridesmaid, they also contain dazzling Swarovski crystals -- BLING!
Honor Them at the Rehearsal Dinner
During the rehearsal dinner (or even your bridal shower), it's a great time to introduce your bridesmaids to your family and friends, who may not know them. It's also a wonderful opportunity to thank each one for their friendship, for supporting you during this special time, and to present a special gift of thanks. We have a wide variety of items; which are sure to let your bridesmaids know how much you care. We have dozens of personalized gifts that a sure to become treasured keepsakes for years to come.
Remember, although your wedding day is certainly about you, the groom-to-be, and the exciting new chapter of your life -- you do need to be gracious and appreciative of the work others provide to make your wedding day special, beautiful, and memorable.
Happy planning!!!!

International Organisation of Employers (IOE)
- Date submitted: 25 Oct 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: International Organisation of Employers (IOE)
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionAbout the IOE The International Organisation of Employers (IOE) is recognised as the only organisation at the international level that represents the interests of business in the labour and social policy fields. Our mission is to promote and defend the interests of employers in international fora. To this end we work to ensure that international labour and social policy promotes the viability of enterprises and creates an environment favourable to enterprise development and job creation. Today, the IOE consists of 150 national employer organisations from 143 countries from all over the world. In line with our mandate we will focus, in this contribution, on the social pillar of sustainable development. The IOE has been working with other business organizations, such as the ICC and the Business and Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD (BIAC), and we endorse and support their submissions on the broader conference themes. The IOE view of the purpose of RIO+20 The IOE supports a balanced discussion of social elements in the discussion topics to be taken up in Rio+20 and believes that the conference must deliver an appropriate institutional framework to enable conditions for the transition to the current concept of a ?green economy", monitor and respond to the evolution of the ?green economy" and eradicate poverty. It must look to practicalities, learning and experience, to enable action and empower the relevant actors to deliver renewed commitment for sustainable development. set up clear measures and means to allow stakeholders to monitor the assessment of progress to date and enable them to identify and provide solutions for the remaining gaps in the implementation of the outcomes of the major summits on sustainable development and achievement of the millennium development goals. set up clear measures and means to allow stakeholders to monitor, identify, prioritise and propose solutions to address new and emerging challenges. Business Engagement Business and industry is one of 9 ?major groups? recognized by Agenda 21, and engaging employers in the RIO+20 processes is essential to the pursuit of sustainable development. Business and employment creation provides not just skills, technological and innovative developments and finance but also inclusive livelihoods capable of transforming social systems. What progress has been made, what remains to be done. The 3 dimensions of sustainable development require that all policy developments and activities should be analysed pre and post implementation for their potential and actual impact on the economy, the environment and social infrastructure. That way we can follow whether policy developments had their desired impact and make appropriate adjustments to keep on course to achieve targets. The aspirations of previous conferences on Sustainable Development and achievement of the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) have not yet been met. But as well as some setbacks, there have been many recent positive developments, capable of delivering solutions. There has been a major increase in scientific information, public awareness and involvement on environmental issues, largely because of the development of internet communications. Many nations have developed economically, socially and environmentally, providing them with new powers, along with which come new roles and responsibilities. Future economic growth is likely to be fastest in emerging economies, and if well managed, can help lift the majority of their people out of poverty. How business can help deliver the solutions Business will be key to providing the solutions to the interlinked challenges of meeting the expectations of improved living standards for a growing world population and at the same time not degrading the economic, environmental and social systems on which they depend Many employers recognize and have risen to the challenge of sustainable development by controlling emissions and resource uses from their products, services and operations. Voluntary business initiatives and innovative solutions for resource efficiency, emission control, waste management, protection of ecosystems, food and energy security, renewable and low carbon technologies are being commercialized and shared. Business to business partnerships via multinationals and their supply chains will help diffuse the information and technologies. However in order to do this in a fair and equitable way businesses will have to work with governments and international governance bodies to develop instruments and incentives, sensitive to market needs and set the enabling conditions for Investment and innovation, including rule of law, sound science and risk, open markets and trade and protection of intellectual property rights. Critical long-term policy and market frameworks are being developed in many influential inter-governmental discussions and it is vital that these frameworks and their implementation support economic prosperity and growth, job creation and livelihoods. Job creation, in particular, is a critical path out of poverty, and more urgent than ever in the current economic situation. The green economy as the solution The themes of RIO+20 postulate that if the challenge is the gap between what has been achieved and what needs to be achieved, then the solution is the green economy. The IOE believes that if the green economy is to be the solution to the challenge to be addressed by the conference, of delivering sustainable development and the MDGs, then it has to be structured to do so. Solutions to these challenges will come from business initiatives, products and services facilitated by policy measures that promote the right kind of growth. Economies need to be able to secure growth and development, while at the same time improving human well-being, providing sustainable jobs and enterprises, reducing inequalities, tackling poverty and preserving the natural resources on which we depend.? this is what is implied by a green economy. However the green economy will evolve as technologies and economies develop and provide other challenges and solutions. It will be a dynamic process requiring continual review and revision as the concept of what constitutes a green economy shifts over time. Understanding the green economy Employers believe that the first challenge is for the concepts of the ?Green economy" and ?Green jobs" to be more clearly understood and have resonance with and endorsement by all stakeholders The green economy cannot be divorced from the economy in general and green jobs are reliant on other jobs. Ordinary people need to be able to see what it means and that it means something different and better than the economic model they have now. They need to understand how their current model can move towards the concept of a green economy and have a clear idea of some of the policy and practice tools needed to get there. Employers have risen to their crucial role in influencing policy measures to structure a framework conducive for enterprises to deliver sustainable jobs, economically viable products, processes, services and solutions that promote a greener economy. They also play their part in informing consumers of what actions, products and services will help deliver a green economy. The priorities to achieve a green economy Moving towards a green economy requires resilient enterprises and communities who are able to withstand the inevitable natural and man-made shocks that will occur in the future. They will enable challenges to be transformed into economic opportunities, not only reversing negative environmental trends, but also driving future growth and jobs. This will facilitate the preservation and Investment in the assets of key natural resources. It will enable the use of low-carbon and resource efficient solutions and increasing efforts to promote sustainable consumption and production patterns. All this involves greater business involvement in establishing the right regulatory frameworks, creating strong incentives for markets and innovation, leveraging financial resources, and promoting entrepreneurship. The green economy offers opportunities to all countries, irrespective of their level of development and the structure of their societies and economies. While in many cases investments to move towards a green economy can result in short-term win-win solutions, in other cases a medium to long term perspective will be needed and transitional costs will have to be addressed. These may require support for developing nations and SMEs Priorities for future action resulting from RIO+20 The IOE believes that the future should be aimed at action, based on an analysis of what needs to be done, how it can be done and by whom. The development of a suitable green economy, requires addressing the following priorities Building resilience for enterprises and communities Establishing efficient use and sustainable management of key resources Developing well-functioning markets and effective regulatory conditions Improving governance and stimulating private sector involvement The IOE will focus its efforts on strengthening the social pillar of sustainable development by Building resilience for enterprises and communities and look at how the other priorities support this. Building resilience for enterprises and communities Resilience to deal with uncertainty Examination of the existing plans to move towards sustainable development and achieve the Millennium Development Goals shows that the world must be ready for the unexpected. Whilst many projects will go to plan, as the expected has been anticipated and factored in, some plans will always be knocked off course by natural disasters, financial or political turmoil, resource scarcities or supply chain and service disruptions. Employers seek to minimize disruption and maintain sustainable enterprises, jobs and economies, whatever the challenge. Resilience is seen as an active approach of using the available tools to take responsibility for one"s own enterprise, community and self, in sustaining and developing wellbeing, competences, resources and entrepreneurship to adapt and thrive in a fast-changing and uncertain world, giving governments, enterprises and individuals the means of turning uncertainty, risk and turmoil into opportunity. Realizing a green economy, that in itself will also evolve, will require a low-emission society that offers substantial opportunities, ensures growth and sustainable development, based on innovative technologies and more sustainable production and consumption, while ensuring sustainable enterprises and jobs. To face the uncertainties involved, Governments need access to resources and expertise to plan for, not just implementation, but also disruption, disaster and recovery Enterprises need the versatility and flexibility to unleash their innovative technologies and service and the skills and creative potential of all their employees. Individuals need jobs and opportunities that enable them to develop and use their competencies, skills and creative potential to the full in their work and in their communities People encouraged to develop problem solving, creativity, and team or community building in a high-trust environment are more likely to respond to change as an opportunity rather than as a threat. They need to be provided with the skills, knowledge and experience needed to deal with it successfully. Individuals, their workplaces and wider society are highly interdependent, so national governments and regional authorities have a key role to play in helping to support and develop enterprises which promote resilience for their workers and communities. Health and wellbeing The sustainable management of resources, such as land, agriculture, forests, water and the oceans are underpinned by ecosystems and biodiversity, which determine the longer term resilience and health of the environment are major factors contributing to the wellbeing of people necessary as a foundation for their resilience. Solutions to many of the challenges of sustainable development as well as disaster aversion and recovery are trans-boundary and need to be addressed at the regional and international level. Governments, international organisations and businesses need to coordinate their resources and expertise in times of crisis. Employment Just as jobs have a direct relationship to economies, then green jobs are seen to have a similar relationship with green economies. This is important as considerable sums, within recent economic stimulus packages, have been earmarked for green growth and green jobs. Policy decisions, measures and funding to address green issues are now so extensive that they have a direct effect on business decision making and will affect enterprises of all sizes and sectors. Enterprises need to understand the funding implications, the sources and how to access the funds. Business will be the key to providing solutions to climate change and environmental concerns and new industries developed solely as a response to these challenges will owe allegiance to other technologies and businesses. New jobs ? green or otherwise- will mainly be created by the market, to satisfy market needs and utilise innovative developments. It should be recognized that green jobs and green technologies will rely greatly on all jobs and technologies and the distinction will become even more blurred in the future. The green economy should aspire to full employment for all, whether it is returning to full employment post-economic crises or creating employment to overcome poverty. Policies aimed at creating so called green jobs should not come at the cost of a net reduction of jobs across the overall economy, nor should such policies create temporary, unsustainable jobs or those that reduce productivity or have unacceptable working conditions. Skills, education and training In order to operationalise the green economy concept, there is a need for society to build competencies for resilience and for enterprises to have access to the right skills for the right jobs. The moves to greener economies will mean all skills requirements will be affected to a greater or lesser extent. Human capital, the quality of jobs, and generational shifts also need to be addressed. Without the necessary skills and know-how, a transition to a green economy will not be possible. Economic policies need to be aligned with labour policies to equip employees with new skills and help create new job opportunities. A thorough analysis is needed on a regional basis of the demographics, state of current and potential economic development and the major skills requirements needed to move that region from where it is now to a greener economy. Government, employers, education and training providers and individuals need to work in partnership to benefit from a continuum from education, training and lifelong learning. It is necessary to build and develop resilience into the economy and population so that they are capable of dealing with change. Establishing efficient use and sustainable management of key resources Holistic life cycle thinking The efficient use and sustainable management of key resources will require holistic life-cycle thinking and will be a long term effort with no certainly defined end point. There is a growing awareness of the benefits of ecosystem services, efficient resource and waste management, for businesses and society at large, and of the potential of investing in natural capital for the green economy. Managing key resources People"s livelihoods rely on resources such as water, energy, land, agriculture and marine food sources. Especially in developing countries, the lack of access to quality resources, as well as the inability to manage them sustainably, are important underlying causes of poverty. Where the sustainable management of these resources become the economy's key growth markets they can underpin future economic development, create jobs, alleviate poverty and embed resilience in the population. Developing well-functioning markets and effective regulatory conditions Framework for open markets and trade A number of market and regulatory conditions need to be put in place to enable and direct growth in the above areas. Such enabling conditions are not only key to promote environmental objectives, but also to ensure predictability, resilience and equitable treatment for business. They also provide a sound basis for investments and fostering eco-innovation through new technologies and new ways of working. Open trade and Investment are critical enablers of technological dissemination and financing that will be required to move to greener economies. Policies to promote green economy concepts should be incorporated into domestic and global markets in a way that promotes competition within open markets on an equitable basis. Stimulating innovation Innovation for the solutions to move to a green economy requires major progress in the development and deployment of key technologies, better use of existing knowledge and technologies across sectors and geographical boundaries, and increased international and public-private co-operation. It will also require the institutions and framework to foster such development, key of which is appropriate recognition and protection for intellectual property rights Governments should avoid choosing winners and losers, and refrain from using regulations that benefit certain sectors to the detriment of others. Well-intentioned measures focused on improving environmental performance and generating employment may not necessarily create lasting employment and may introduce sector distortions that should not be seen as a substitute for long term job creation through the market. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) need equitable treatment to be able to access the expertise and finance needed for making the necessary Investment. There are opportunities now to green enterprises and the current economy, using tools and facilities already available, as a step en-route to realizing the full benefits of the transition to a greener economy. Governments should provide appropriate incentives (ranging from information, demonstration, application, taxation, incentivisation, regulation) so businesses in all sectors and consumers will see the practical benefits of adopting resource efficient and lower carbon-intensive practices. Regulatory improvement Regulatory instruments should be objective seeking and well-structured to maximise compliance and minimize unintended consequences. They should be combined with market-based instruments (such as taxes, tradable permits and environmental subsidies) which are flexible and cost-effective tools that can help achieve combined economic, social and environmental objectives. Fiscal reforms that shift tax burdens from labour to environmental impacts can create highly visible incentives that send messages to society to influence their behaviour and provide win-win outcomes for employment and the environment. Financing and Investment To enable the transition to a global green economy, large scale financial resources will have to be mobilized to help finance flow towards and in the green economy. Such policies should provide clear, legally-binding, long-term signals wherever possible. This will require action by all countries, international organisations and banks and will require a significant change in approaches to financing, enabling countries to make use of innovative public and private solutions. Access to finance and venture capital coupled with a favourable regulatory environment is crucial to stimulate eco-innovation, environmental technologies and green SMEs. Improving governance and stimulating private sector involvement Measuring progress Progress towards a greener economy will benefit from development of transparent measures and indicators that make sense in societal, economic and environmental terms, at the level of individual enterprises and at national, regional and global levels. Reporting requirements should not add further burdens on business but should be part of a rationalization process for the development of indicators to be used alongside Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Improving governance It is widely recognized that current governance structures need significant reform to help deliver sustainable development, make economies greener, eradicate poverty and measure and track progress. There are several options to strengthen sustainable development governance within the UN organizations involved, either by strengthening the mandates of the main players or enhancing the scope of one to give it overarching responsibility. All options have advantages and disadvantages, and will have to be further discussed, but the outcome should be defined by minimizing duplication of effort and maximizing coordination and efficiency in the delivery of the objectives. Sustainable development governance needs to be reinforced and mainstreamed within the UN system, by enhancing coherence and policy integration between the activities carried out under the economic, social and environmental pillars. Dedicated teams focused on sustainable development should ensure regular interaction between and within organizations. Corresponding regional, national and local structures also need attention with new roles and responsibilities defined for emerging economies. Today, ?Green Economy" remains an aspirational concept. As it evolves elements of greening economies may require new governance procedures. The UN governance structures should be regularly reviewed to ensure they are fit for purpose. Stimulating private sector involvement and partnerships Moving towards a green economy is a shared, cross-sectoral, and economy-wide challenge which no actor can achieve on its own. The green economy needs to provide the governing structures and platform which allow new and transformative partnerships, involving business, to be shaped and activated. They should recognise that business plays a crucial role in the social and economic development of a country. Prosperity is contributed largely by activities of business, including jobs, investments, technologies, products and services that drive the changes and innovations needed to move towards a green economy. A greener economy depends on an engaged and incentivized private sector working in alliance with the public sector to create essential knowledge, skills, and to promote a continuum of life-long learning, technology, Investment and financing required. In particular, boosting the participation of business will be essential. Business operates in supply and value chains, many of which are global and have influence beyond national governance structures. Achieving improved conditions for transparency and integrity in doing business in all countries is of paramount importance for private and public sector actions. Measures to green businesses and contribute to green economies is most efficient and effective if they are aligned and integrated with other business systems and initiatives. Many businesses have already made significant progress in making their operations more resilient and resource efficient. They have excellent examples of good practice to share. Business involvement needs to be taken further through more dynamic public/private partnerships, new business networks and alliances. Achieving the Objectives - Key messages All countries and players have to work together to make sure that the outcomes of Rio+20 can meet our global challenges. In particular the business community must be empowered to put in place emission-reduction and resource-efficient technologies and solutions that create jobs, that raise standards of living, and that address major environmental problems. To give renewed impetus to achieving sustainable development and eradicating poverty, Rio+20 needs to involve business in Creating a shared vision that is understood, endorsed, publicized and actioned by all stakeholders on what is the current visions for a green economy what changes are needed to get there what tools and policies will be available to use how success can be measured and publicized at the international level Developing cohesive action plans at all levels These will need to be developed at enterprise, community, national and international levels. Actions should build on existing efforts and could be incorporated into national economic and development strategies, also bringing together low carbon strategies and sustainable consumption and production plans. Where needed, donor countries and international organisations could provide assistance, in line with national development strategies. Measuring effectiveness of policies and actions for all pillars of sustainable development All policy developments and activities should be assessed pre and post implementation for their potential and actual impact on the economy, the environment and social infrastructure Focusing on the issues identified as requirements for a green economy Building resilience for enterprises and communities Establishing efficient use and sustainable management of key resources Developing well-functioning markets and effective regulatory conditions Improving governance and stimulating private sector involvement the following specific actions, where business has particular leverage, are proposed as contributions to the action plans. Developing skills and training for the enterprises of the future As the transition to a green economy will create jobs and replace others, the re-skilling of the existing workforce will be needed. Rio+20 should establish the main elements for green skills training programmes in priority areas such as energy, agriculture, construction, natural resource management, waste and recycling. Based on this work and the analysis of the likely effect of the transition to a green economy, Governments, training providers and businesses should identify o What skills will be needed for future business architecture, o What programmes have to be put in place to develop those skills o How will the workforce, that do not have those skills, be managed Youth and community training programmes are also needed. These should support life-long learning and the school-to-work transition with specific training and competence development on the green economy in mind. Developing partnerships for making key resources sustainable Many private companies are involved globally in the delivery of water supplies of the appropriate quality for the task. Water management and water governance needs to have firmer linkages to economic as well as environmental aspects. This could be achieved by establishing international partnerships on water involving public and private-sector enterprises and governments. Similarly partnership involving governments, public and private-sector enterprises must be established to increase energy access, achieve secure energy supplies, promote renewable energy and energy efficiency and leverage private Investment for a low carbon economy. Frameworks should be developed to ensure protection of intellectual and physical property rights and provide access to the fair and equitable sharing of benefits derived from the utilisation of genetic and other resources. There is an urgent need to promote sustainable agriculture and forestry, land-use and food security by involving businesses more closely in strengthening existing initiatives on sustainable agriculture, building on multilateral actions (such as the FAO), regional activities (such as sustainable farming). There is merit in establishing new partnerships on food commodities involving business to make the consumption and production of food commodities more sustainable. Now is a good time to establish a more robust and coherent international regime on chemicals and hazardous substances and Rio+20 could launch a process to achieve this. Businesses should be involved in the design of such a regime building on their experience of existing initiatives. All these challenges will involve business in scientific and technological cooperation at the global level and a mechanism for greater global science and research cooperation on societal challenges of global importance should be put in motion. Achieving well-functioning markets Business should assist in the development of well-designed domestic and regional market-based instruments with a view to reducing emissions at least cost. Such instruments may also play an important role in generating innovative finance. Financial Institutions should play a strong role, working with private financial institutions to commit to establish green economy financing strategies that can lead to demonstrable results. An important focus of these financing facilities and schemes should be to assist developing countries, vulnerable regions as well as SMEs. Improving governance and stimulating private sector involvement Better and more efficient global governance in needed to accelerate global action towards a greener and more sustainable economy, greener and more sustainable jobs and to eradicate poverty. As businesses are the engines of the economy, Rio+20 must strengthen and formalize the engagement of business in the variety of partnerships and schemes proposed. The arrangements should address the special needs and realities for employers in developing countries and vulnerable regions, particularly SMEs and should provide opportunities for capacity building between groups in developed and developing countries.

Remediating unforeseen sewer contaminants
Top view of one set of submersible of pumps with discharge pipes rising from the bottom of the grit chamber. Two electric Flygt submersible 230-hp 18-inch pumps and two Gorman-Rupp electric submersible 45-hp 12-inch pumps moved solids from the chamber into the settling area. Five 12-inch diesel Gorman-Rupp and one 10-inch Pioneer diesel pump moved the liquid from the settling area to the pumping station.

Ingenious workaround. PCBs were found in 5,000 feet of an interceptor buried 20 to 30 feet below a highway near railroad tracks. Placing a decommissioned wastewater treatment plant back into operation saved millions over building a bypass sewer or on-site settling tanks for what turned out to be 2,500 tons of sediment.
Discharge pipes directing flow to the sedimentation tanks.
Who: Jersey City, N.J., Municipal Utilities Authority
Tons of clean sediment removed: 4,469
Tons of PCB-contaminated sediment: 2,502
Consulting engineer: Boswell Engineering: South Hackensack, N.J.
Environmental maintenance contractor: National Water Main Cleaning Co.; Newark, N.J.
Subcontractor: Montana Construction Co.; Lodi, N.J.
Pump operation: Sunbelt Rentals Inc.; Maple Shade, N.J.
Total project cost: $5.29 million
Contaminant remediation: $1,446,564
Funding: $3,843,653 in low-interest loans through the New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Trust
Sewer inspections and cleanings are usually uneventful, but that wasn't to be the case for Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority's 35 mgd Northeast Interceptor. Eight months into sediment removal, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) — a potential carcinogen and cause of non-Hodgkin lymphoma — were discovered.
The authority had contracted with National Water Main Cleaning Co. of Newark, N.J., and Boswell Engineering of South Hackensack to systematically inspect and clean the interceptor's 19,500 linear feet of combined sewer. Samples from its 70 manholes before cleaning met state criteria for disposal in a Class B recovery facility, which meant the authority could landfill the material instead of sending it to a more expensive, specialized facility.
"Engineers sampled sediment from each manhole, as we do in the pipes we clean ourselves," says Authority Senior Engineer Richard Haytas. "There was no indication of any unusual contaminants at the time."
Video inspection above the flow checked for cracks, deformities, and potential failure areas. Sonar beneath the flow looked for sediment that may have settled in the pipeline and deformities or damage to the pipe. Except for one feeder pipe, the 19,500-linear-foot reinforced concrete interceptor was in solid working condition for its age (30 years). Solids, however, had in many places risen to half the diameters, which range from 18 inches to 84 inches. So while it had appeared upon visual inspection to be flowing at 75% of capacity, the interceptor was flowing at only 25%.
Here's why. In its early working life, the area being served at the interceptor's farther end was isolated and undeveloped, ideal for illegal dumping by concrete trucks cleaning and emptying the residue from their tanks and trays.
National Water Main began removing the hardened cementitious material at the farthest manhole upstream in the line. Vacuum trucks with high-flow, high-velocity water jets dislodged sediment, suspending solids in the water flow before vacuuming them up. The extracted material was staged at the authority's pumping station at the end of the interceptor, where it was picked up and trucked to the designated disposal site.
As they worked, representatives from the authority, Boswell, National Water Main, and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection met monthly — a practice that was to prove highly valuable later.
Their contract with the authority required Boswell and the disposal site to sample every several hundred tons to ensure material continued to meet disposal criteria. Three-quarters of the way along the interceptor, low concentrations of PCBs — below 40 ppm — began showing up.
The potential source was puzzling because the interceptor serves a developed urban area. Public records, however, revealed that a manufacturer of power transformers once operated in the area. Since PCBs bind to solid material, samples taken before cleaning hadn't detected the contaminant because they were bound into the lowest hard sediment. It wasn't until cleaning began, disturbing the sediment, that the contaminant appeared.
PCBs presented no danger to the interceptor itself, but have been declared a potential carcinogen and cause of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. U.S. EPA requires actions be taken for concentrations above 1 ppm.
Because cleaning would put employees at risk and potentially send the contamination downstream in the regular flow, National Water Main's safety department stopped the work so the team could contemplate its challenge: removal and disposal methods, additional costs, and paying for it.
The PCBs were found 20 to 30 feet below the New Jersey Turnpike and both commuter and freight railroad tracks. Two options — building a bypass sewer and on-site settling tanks — were deemed prohibitively costly.
Diverting 35 mgd of wastewater would have required several 20-foot excavation pits for bypass pumps. Four 18-inch discharge pipes would have to be tunneled. Permitting would have taken years. Similarly, dewatering 35mgd into solids boxes would have cost millions.
But there was a third alternative: the pump station that sends the interceptor's flow to the treatment plant downstream, which used to be a wastewater treatment plant.
National Water Main suggested diverting sewage through the pump station's abandoned settling tanks. The solids stirred up by the cleaning would quickly settle, after which the water would be pumped back into the pumping station. The wet solids would then be vacuumed up and discharged to a staging area where moisture would separate and drain through the grit removal portion of the pumping station and allow the solids to dry. The dry solids would then be removed and treated using thermal desorption technology at a licensed facility. (See schematic on page 36.)
"The circumstances were very unique," says Assistant Vice President Joseph Perone. "So we developed a solution unlike any other I've been involved with during my career."
Once additional funding and state and federal government approval were obtained, removal took about four months. The New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Trust, which leverages American Resource and Recovery Act stimulus funding and had already loaned the authority $3,843,653, issued an additional $1,446,564 loan. Only one year was added to project completion.
The state gave the authority permission to put the tanks, which can hold up to 8 million gallons, back into commission with the understanding that they'd be cleaned thoroughly to prevent possible contamination of the sewer system.
When the additional funding came through, National Water Main contracted with Montana Construction Co. to remove the roof over the old treatment facility's main chamber so pumps could be installed. Montana was also contracted by the Maple Shade, N.J., location of Sunbelt Rentals Inc., the company supplying and operating the pumps, to build a platform for the pumps and its workers in the pumping chamber.
"The chamber was so deep and the space so confined that we needed Montana to place the pumps down inside," says Sunbelt Manager Robert Sheehan Jr.
A sluice gate was built to divert the flow from the pumping station during cleaning and send it into the settling tanks before it eventually reached the pumping station. After hours, when cleaning was done for the day and solids settled in the pipe, which meant the PCBs would not be sent downstream, the gate was opened to allow flow to reach the pumping station.
Under the direction of National Water Main Line Superintendent Paul Couto and Project Engineer Shilpa Bhojappa, crews began cleaning the contaminated 4,600 feet of pipeline. In addition to wearing the necessary personal protective equipment, workers were closely monitored for PCB exposure through clinic visits and regular blood tests. The company followed the medical screening and surveillance program outlined by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.
No one was contaminated and no PCBs have been found downstream.

Strange Things
Three days after the All-Star break, the Minnesota Twins were flying high. They had just taken two of three from the Rangers (and could have easily swept them if not for a walk-off home run in the final game) and were right back in the division race.
Four days later, that feeling has been squashed like an unlucky squirrel on an Interstate.
In Oakland, it turned out that we were lucky to win a single contest (and in extra innings at that). The other two games were an embarassment, and well, maybe even a bigger embarassment, respectively.
Then, there was last night in Anaheim. Scott Baker looked great through four innings, then tanked (as he so often does) in the fifth, allowing the Halos to claw back to within one run at 3-2 (the Twins had done some early scoring thanks to Mauer and Kubel).
From that point, both teams alternated runs until the ninth inning, when the Twins handed the ball to Joe Nathan with a 5-3 lead. Right away, though, it was apparent that Nathan (for whatever reason) just didn't have his usual "stuff" out on the mound. He walked the first batter of the inning on a wild curveball, then hit another guy to put the game-tying runs on base.
Of course, that is when the next "strange thing" reared it's head. With a run already in and runners at the corners with two outs, Nathan was able to coax Angels batter Howie Kendrick to hit a weak little tapper up the middle. Both Alexi Casilla and Nick Punto converged on the sphere to try and get the final out, but this was the end result…
On a freak play, the ball hit off the corner of the second base bag and bounded away from both fielders, allowing Mike Napoli to score the tying run. Had the ball not honed in on that base, it looked as if Punto would have been able to make the play and end the game.
So, it was off to extra innings once again. The Twins went down 1-2-3 in their half of the tenth, then brought in there "new" callup from Triple-A…Jesse Crain. As soon as I saw him coming into the game, I was more sure than I had ever been in my life that the Twins were going to lose this game. The soundtrack in my head…
A seeing-eye single from Chone Figgins to open the inning, after which he was quickly bunted to second, only sealed the deal. True to form, Crain actually gave fans a smidgen of hope when he struck out Kendrie Morales, but a gapper from Napoli quickly had the Twins trotting back to the visitors dugout.
Final thought: The Twins are sinking (although not out yet), the starting rotation (unless Blackburn throws a gem every outing) is a mess, and Crain is probably a basket case by now and should be put on the waiver wire.
Preview (48-48, 3rd, 2.5 GB DET & CWS): Francisco Liriano (4-9, 5.33) vs. John Lackey (5-4, 4.39).

Reviews for Apple Fritters
"I love this! It is so delicious!! I added and extra tablespoon of orange juice and milk to make it thinner. I will definitely make this again!"
"Very good! It makes a small batch. I tripled the recipe for my family of 7. Also, it makes a very thick batter, so I thinned it with more milk so it was lay down in the electric skillet, instead of staying in a big blob."
"Easy and delicious! I added cinnamon to the batter. Would definitely make again."
"It tasted great but I never follow a recipe to a tee and it seems I made fried mini apple pies rather than apple fritters. I literally folded the apples in. Into little triangles of dough. That I then fried. Oops. So the apples were in the center. I also modified the recipe. Because I thought I was supposed to fold the apples in, I made a filling for the apples the way I make apple pie, it's caramel sauce, cinnamon, flour and brown sugar. It's sooo good. Even though I totally botched the recipe, it tasted great."
"Really good. Hot and fresh is the best. Makes a small batch."

SMYRNA — Two duck hunters were rescued after their small boat capsized near Woodland Beach just east of Smyrna on Dec. 27.
Mario F. Cipolla, 36, of New Castle, and Kenneth Tolite, 24, of Wilmington were found around 9:30 a.m. by DNREC Fish and Wildlife Enforcement agents. Emergency personnel arrived and treated the men for hypothermia. Both men did have life jackets, but weren't wearing them when their boat flipped. The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
Cipolla was cited for hunting with an unplugged shotgun. No other charges have been filed.
The Delaware Office of Boating Safety reminds boaters to prepare for winter weather by dressing appropriately, carrying multiple means of communication, purchasing a personal position locator beacon and locator light, using whistles and flares to attraction attention and keeping blankets on board.

The Paul Soliai issue
Posted by David Kennedy
I read Armando's article about Paul Soliai, and thought it was worth commenting on it: I told you when they put the franchise tag on Soliai it was a mistake. They didn't have to do it, with a lockout looming, and there being restrictions after the league year end. It was unlikely he would sign elsewhere in a short span of time - and with a limited resume it would have seemed a longshot for him to get a top-dollar deal with any team, anyway.Like This Article ? :
But tag him they did. And now he's "owed" 10% of the team's salary cap - so those other 52ish (not sure if they expanded the roster) players get the rest. Or they could sign him to a long-term deal, but he'll have to be well compensated, having been tagged.
And frankly neither they, I, nor you know if he's worthy of that kind of money. Maybe he will, but who knows?
So, we heard recently that the Dolphins may be $20 million or so under the cap. Take away this $12 and they only have another $8 to spend. Ya ain't getting any big-names with that, since the rules are spelled out about how the money can be used (whereas before you could play a shell game).
Given that, it seems to me this is just another in a long line of mis-steps with the furious enigma (Ireland).

text: Bath linens have a functional purpose. In addition to purpose, bath towels and washcloths should also be attractive addition to your restroom décor, and should define your personal space. You may have realized by now that most bath linens miss the mark. Towels or washcloths are often one or the other, but seldom are they both beautiful and functional; a characteristic that distinguishes Frette's bath linens from all others. Our bath linens are highly absorbent, soft, and gorgeous too. Frette's beautifully crafted, highly plush, heavily absorbent towels, meet the requirement of functionality, while also providing a luxurious touch to bathroom décor. Our Italian-crafted, cotton-terry towels are available in a variety of rich colors, and have a tactile sateen edge finish. Consumers also have the choice of stunning towels with macramé-lace and over pure cotton bordered with a soft, sateen-finished edge.LESS

California man says his American flag is not allowed to be displayed at his home
SANTEE, Calif. - A California man said he was told he could not display the American flag inside his apartment window, but management will not tell him why.
Steve Roberts is a proud to be an American. His father served in the military for more than 25 years.
"The American flag, it means to me freedom," Roberts told 10News.
A year ago, Roberts bought an American flag and hung it across his front window, inside his apartment at The Oaks in Santee.
Roberts showed 10News a copy of his lease, which states, "No decorations, signs, or lettering may be exhibited or fixed outside of the resident's apartment." Robert's flag is hanging inside of his apartment and can only be seen if he cracks open his blinds.
"I didn't think I would have a problem. None of my neighbors have complained to me, and I asked the previous management for approval," said Roberts.
Problems began in April when the management company for The Oaks changed hands.
"Apparently, the FDC management group doesn't like me flying the American flag or displaying it. When I went to renew my lease in April, I was told by the lady in the leasing office that the district manager told them if I took down the flag they would renew my lease; until then I could only be month to month," said Roberts.
10News went to the leasing office to talk with management, but the door was locked and no one would answer. 10News then went to the onsite manager's apartment, but again, no one would answer.
10News learned that the management's offices were closed on the day crews visited.
Roberts is frustrated and is afraid he is going to be evicted, but he said he is not taking the flag down.
"It's just wrong; you can't tell someone what they can and cannot have displayed inside their own place and it's the American flag in America," said Roberts.


text: While on the Salt, we met a pair of Danish fellow's who ere there to set some records also. I made friends with Tom Jorgensen who rode the Blue 80 inch blown Knuckle to a 150 mph record. I'm sure you will find their blog fascinating. I spent an hour and just scratched the surface.
