(202) 512-4800
GAO discussed federal and private-sector research and development (R&D) activities concerning degradable plastics to identify: (1) the extent of efforts to develop standards for degradable plastics; and (2) federal agencies' support of degradable plastics R&D. GAO found that: (1) the federal government and the private sector made limited efforts to develop standards and support R&D for degradable plastics; (2) federal expenditures in 1988 totalled $1.7 million for 12 projects; (3) the federal agencies that supported the R&D activities were not the most appropriate to develop standards; (4) there was no testing of degradable plastics to determine degradability and end-product safety in different environments; and (5) testing would not ensure the establishment of needed standards. GAO also found that: (1) because current legislation on the use of degradable plastics lacks needed standards, many state laws do not provide definitions of degradability, specify time frames, or provide end-product safety requirements; (2) private-sector activities to develop standards are too new to evaluate; (3) the four agencies working on federally funded R&D projects focused mainly on developing and improving new degradable products, rather than the need for standards; and (4) some scientists conducting federally funded R&D planned to incorporate testing in their R&D.

UOP LLC, a Honeywell
company, will provide technology to produce propylene at
Dow Chemical Co.s production site in
Texas. Dow Texas Operations will use Honeywell
UOP C3 Oleflex technology in a new propane dehydrogenation unit
to convert shale-gas-derived propane to propylene. The facility
will produce 750,000 metric tpy of polymer-grade propylene.
The unit is scheduled to start up in 2015. It will
reportedly be the first of its kind in the US and the largest
single-train propane dehydrogenation plant in North
Since the technology was commercialized in
1990, Honeywells UOP has commissioned nine C3 Oleflex
units for on-purpose propylene production, with the 10th unit
scheduled to start up in Russia in 2012.
KBR will provide construction services for
ExxonMobils new synthetics lubricant
base-stock facility to be built at ExxonMobils refinery and chemical plant complex
in Baytown, Texas. When completed in 2013, the facility will
produce ExxonMobil Chemicals high-viscosity SpectraSyn
Elite metallocene polyalphaolefin (PAO) base stock.
KBRs scope of work for the Baytown plant includes site
work, civil, structural, pipe, electrical, instrumentation and
mechanical installation, as well as test and checkout services.
The award by Technip USA, the prime contractor
responsible for this new facilitys engineering,
procurement and construction (EPC), follows the
construction of ExxonMobils Flare Gas Recovery Project in Beaumont, Texas, for
which KBR and Technip successfully collaborated to execute a
complete EPC package.
HollyFrontier Corp. (HFC) plans to expand
capacity at its 31,000-bpd Woods Cross, Utah, refinery to
45,000 bpd with an expected completion in late 2014.
The expansion includes the
relocation/revamp of crude, fluid catalytic-cracking and
polymerization units from a subsidiary of Western Refining Inc.s
Bloomfield, New Mexico, refinery to Woods Cross. It also
comprises an expansion of the Woods Cross diesel hydrotreater
and investment in associated utilities and offsites. HFC has an
agreement with Western Refining to purchase the Bloomfield
HFC expects incremental yields from the expansion project to
be approximately 60% gasoline and 40% diesel. The expansion
cost is estimated to be approximately $225 million, with an
expected payback period of less than two years.
In conjunction with the expansion, HollyFrontier signed a
10-year, 20,000-bpd crude-oil supply agreement with
Newfield Exploration Co. This agreement, which
begins once the expansion is complete, will supply black- and
yellow-wax crude oil produced in the nearby Uinta Basin region
to the Woods Cross refinery, which has capacity to process
approximately 10,000 bpd of these crudes. When the expansion is complete, the Woods
Cross refinery will be able to process
approximately 24,000 bpd of waxy Utah crudes. This expansion,
crude-oil supply agreement and expected completion timeline are
subject to HollyFrontier successfully obtaining the necessary
permits and regulatory approvals.
ONEOK Partners, L.P.s new 100
million-cfd natural gas processing Garden Creek plant in
eastern McKenzie County, North Dakota, is now operational and
serving producers in the Bakken Shale region. The company plans
to invest approximately $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion for growth
projects in the Bakken Shale between
now and 2014 in its natural gas gathering and processing, and
natural gas liquids (NGL) businesses. In addition to the Garden
Creek plant, these investments include the construction of the Bakken pipeline,
an approximately 500-mile NGL pipeline and two additional 100
million-cfd natural gas processing facilitiesthe Stateline I and
Stateline II plants in western Williams County, North
The Bakken pipeline is expected to be completed by the first
half of 2013. The Stateline I and Stateline II plants are
anticipated to be completed by the third quarter of 2012 and
the first half of 2013, respectively.
CB&I has been awarded a contract,
valued in excess of $750 million, by Imperial Oil
Resources Ventures Ltd. for work on the Kearl
Expansion Project in Alberta, Canada.
CB&Is work scope on the expansion project includes the
engineering, procurement, module assembly and construction of a
second bitumen-extraction plant, along with froth tank farms,
multiple storage tanks and six froth-settling units.
Methanex Corp. is planning to move one of
its idle methanol plants in Chile to some land
that it has secured in Geismar, Louisiana. Site-specific
engineering has begun and the plant is expected to be
operational in the second half of 2014.
Renewable Manufacturing Gateway (RMG) and
Aither Chemicals LLC have agreed to
collaborate to finance and build a large chemical plant using
Aithers ethane catalytic-cracker technology. With an investment of
$750 million over the next five years, the project is expected to create over
2,000 construction jobs, 200 permanent
direct production jobs, and many thousand indirect jobs in the
Tri-State Region (western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and
northern West Virginia). It is anticipated to generate $463
million in annual sales by 2016.
Today the production of ethane-derived petrochemicals utilizes
steam-cracking technology developed in West Virginia by
Union Carbide Corp. in the 1920s. The birth of
this technology reportedly helped Union Carbide become one of
the worlds largest producers of ethane-derived chemicals,
and a leading manufacturer of polyethylene. Aither, also a West
Virginia company, was formed in 2010 by accomplished former
Union Carbide and Dow technologists and
business leaders.
Aithers mission is to convert ethane to high-value
chemicals. Its technology uses a patent-pending
catalytic-cracking method instead of steam cracking to make
ethylene. The company will then convert the ethylene to
higher-value chemicals that are easier to ship to customers
locally and worldwide. HP

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Arizona sealed its preparation efforts for the second scrimmage of preseason camp with a two-hour workout in shells Friday afternoon at Kindall Field/Sancet Stadium.
"After the scrimmage tomorrow we will get a little better idea of our two-deep on Sunday when the coaches meet," head coach Rich Rodriguez said.
The practice took place on the coolest day of camp with temperatures in the mid-70s and also featured some light rain showers. After going through traditional individual drills at the beginning of the session, UA dedicated time to special teams. Following the special teams work, the squad returned to individual drills, which included a session of skeleton drills.
The final portion of practice was dedicated to situational team-on-team sessions. The team session featured the two-minute drill that enabled the Wildcats to address clock management and substitution rotations in an up-tempo environment.
Arizona will hold its final scrimmage of preseason camp on Saturday at Arizona Stadium. The scrimmage is closed to the public and the media. The Arizona football team will host Meet The Team on Sunday at McKale Center. Doors will open at 11 a.m., the official program will begin at 12 p.m. and the autograph session will be held 12:30-1:30 p.m.
The Wildcats will take to Arizona Stadium on Sat., Sept. 1 to host Toledo. The 7:30 p.m. contest will be broadcast nationally on ESPNU. Football tickets are available at the McKale Center Ticket office, by visiting ArizonaWildcats.com or by calling 520-621-2287 or 1-800-452-CATS.

BLOG : Minnesota
Private Consultants Trimming Minnesota Budget
The Minnesota government shutdown stalled business, disrupted the lives of citizens and state employees alike, and created a less than favorable impression of government competency. After the record-setting nineteen-day closure, lawmakers vowed to make sure that Minnesotans never experience another government shutdown. To that end, Minnesota lawmakers are bringing in private consultants to "trim the fiscal fat" from the state's budget.
After an exhaustive selection process, legislative leaders and Governor Mark Dayton hired more than twenty private consultants to help cut millions from the state's 2012 budget. Consultants indicated the potential to cut $20 million from the budget, premised on previous successes in other states amounting to $30-140 million in cuts. Just how much these twenty-two consultants will cost Minnesota is unknown, but their share is tied to how much superfluous cost the consultants can weed out of the budget.
Despite what seems like a promising bipartisan venture, the outlook is not all sunny. After the "core functions" fiasco that occurred while the Minnesota government shut down, it is hardly a stretch to assume that groups will quietly accept program cuts. During that time, hundreds of Minnesotans scrambled to petition the Special Master for funding throughout the shutdown. Findings of "critical core functions" versus non-critical functions could potentially cause a headache for consultants attempting to slash excessive expenditures in departments with "critical" status.
Why can't we work together?
Some critics also rightfully wonder why Minnesota is contracting private consultants, when the Minneapolis Internal Audit Department (IAD), created in 2009, provides this very function for Minnesota's largest city. An internal auditing watchdog, the IAD evaluates the integrity of financial records and reports, evaluates city departments for risks of fraud, and maximizes efficiency. Yet as the state hires twenty-two outside consultants, the Minneapolis City Council is considering cutting the IAD in half to generate $130,000 in savings. One of the department's three auditor positions could be eliminated.
It necessarily begs the question: why can't we use the resources already available to find an efficient solution for both the state and the largest city in state? Both are in desperate need for financial help. Although Minnesota's closing balance for FY 2011 is $526 million greater than the original forecast, slow growth is expected through 2013; the state is hardly out of the woods. And Minneapolis is faring even worse. The 2012 recommended budget is $1.198 billion, a $10 million decrease from the 2011 adopted budget. Worse, despite certifying in 2010 that Minneapolis would receive $87.5 million in local government aid from the Minnesota Department of Revenue (MDR), constraints on the state budget forced the MDR to reduce that amount by $23.4 million.
It's clear that Minnesotans are facing economically tough times, so couldn't the state and the largest city work with each other, rather than parallel the efforts of one another? Utilizing resources already in place across state, county and city limits could potentially save money, save jobs, and build a sense of camaraderie. It seems obvious that sharing resources distributes the cost more evenly, saving money both the state and the city desperately need. Either way, it looks like Minnesotans better brace for the worst, because funding is going to get slashed, critical or not.

Bargain hunting has grown incredibly easy with mailing lists sending out 15 percent, 30 percent and "Buy one, Get One Free" e-coupons and mail coupons from popular department stores. And while the deals may get people into the stores, those clearance racks and sales racks can make even the most frugal shopper tempted. But in "Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion" by Elizabeth L. Cline, trendy shoppers may wonder are they getting the best bang for their buck. And if they are, at what cost is it to those who made the products?
The death countdown from the Bangladesh clothing factory collapse in May of 2013 grew to nauseating numbers, and the death toll seemed to increase everyday. According to AP, approximately 1,034 people were found dead during a factory building collapse. And while many consumers may have not been on high alert about where their clothes were coming from, last year's story made more people concerned about labor conditions.
In Cline's book "Overdressed," she takes on the topic of the tragedy in Bangladesh and the conditions of other textile manufacturing companies worldwide. The primary focus for research travel is in places like China and Bangladesh. According to Cline, "As retailers move to Bangladesh to take advantage of its cheap workers, the garment industry is desperately trying to keep pace. The country's clothing factories now employ more than three million people, with apparel accounting for more than 80 percent of the country's total exports. Walmart, JC Penney, H&M, Zara, Lee, Esprit, VF, Umbro, Wrangler, Disney and Nike all do business in Bangladesh, as do many Chinese apparel firms, which are now outsourcing their own cut-and-sew functions to sources of cheaper labor."
Cline explores how the fashion world made the transition from families making their own clothing, mom and pop shops starting their own businesses, American companies servicing U.S. consumers, to American clothing companies letting greed kick in and swiftly moving clothing manufacturing jobs overseas. The cheaper the labor, the more likely the country could make the clothing. And even if the workers aren't making enough pay to survive their everyday living conditions, the clothing industry continues to get rich.
Writing a book like this takes a special kind of ease. It'd be easy to start making shoppers feel guilty about their bargain hunting or feel miserable for people in other countries who are being taken advantage of. But instead of going the preachy route, Cline laid out the facts and let readers come to their own conclusions.
For readers who want to know more about how cloth is chosen and sewn, Cline covers that. For readers who want to know just how and why labor rates matter to the fashion industry, she's on it. For readers who really just want to dig into the industry and find out how clothing designers feel about knockoff clothing and "exclusive" outfits, Cline has research on that, too. For the trendsetters and those who wonder what's next in the fashion world, Cline's take on fast fashion will raise eyebrows and open minds.
And for the gurus who want to know the skinny on second-hand shops and how recycling companies handle for-profit and non-profit clothing donations, she touches on that as well. One of the most memorable parts of that section is how technology is swaying the recycling industry in poverty-stricken communities and how donations are being affected.
Although schools are eliminating elective courses like home economics and fashion design, the lucky ones who learned how to make their own clothing will definitely be able to relate to the section in the book about saving money by fixing and creating one's own wardrobe. Even knowing the basics of fixing a hem line or sewing a button will make readers puff out their chests a little bit.
If you're at all interested in the profits and budgets for the clothing industry, this is a well-researched and fascinating read. The constant reminders about how much the author looks for bargain deals can get a bit repetitive at times, but her views on fashion help with a lot of her research. Someone who is more concerned about trends rather than quality over quantity couldn't have written a book that shed this kind of monetary light for consumers. Although Cline may have strong opinions on fast fashion and consumer spending, without this bias, it would've been especially difficult to teach readers the ins and outs of the textile manufacturing industry. Brand names and the who's who would've gotten in the way of showing readers how their checking accounts are affected by clothes and shoes.
While views may vary on the fashion industry, "Overdressed" readers won't be able to help being on high alert after completing the read. Similar to those who read nutrition books, it'll be next to impossible not to start checking out the "facts" on clothing, whether new or old, and having a newfound appreciation for everything from a T-shirt to a dress to socks.

Saving Mr. Banks Movie Reviews
User reviews on Saving Mr. Banks
Top-shelf performances again from Hanks and Colin Farrell, as well as the supporting cast. The main character was portrayed as almost unbelievably dry, humorless, unfun, and unsympathetic, but maybe that was so in real life. It was an interesting story that showed a difficult situation that inevitably turned around. You may also enjoy the early 1960s period stylings.
I was terribly disappointed with this movie. I adore Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson, but the script ws so bad that even they couldn't save it. I still don't know who Mr. Banks was (other than a character in "Mary Poppins") or why he needed saving or if or who saved him. If you haven't seen "Mary Poppins"
recently, don't bother seeing this movie. It has been close to 40 years since I've seen it and I didn't understand what was going on here at all. The writers made a lot of assumptions about the viewer's knowledge of "Mary Poppins" that just didn't work for me. .A real shame because the actors were so good.
A chick flick that guys will actually like. My wife was excited to see it. I was not - - not in the least bit I dreaded the previews and hoped that my wife would change her mind. She didn't. I felt like I was walking the plank as we drove to the theater. In short, I took one for the team and decided to see it. I was shocked that it was good, really good. One of the rare movies that put men in a positive light. I am so used to women-dominant movies bashing the crap out of guys to get their point across. Not this movie. A really good movie.
I enjoyed this movie, a great holiday film.
I was told that Disney slanted the story in their favor. I do not know the facts and they probably did. It is a natural human tendency, Disney is run by humans, and there are reasons why corporations are considered people legally.
Regardless, it seemed to me that they did present cases for both sides. They definitely didn't skimp building a compelling backstory for her so that her reluctance was understandable.
In short the acting was wonderful. The story was excellent, though sadder than I expected. (I might have expected it, but it was too long since I saw Mary Poppins and was miss led by the trailer)
The audience laughed and more than a few, I suspect, cried.
I agree that this film is worth seeing.
This was definitely one of my favorite movies this year. I was a well told story that clearly defines the main characters' arc/journey. I loved the acting and the way the story was told.
I have often heard that Americans need to have their stories "spoon fed" to them, that we are incapable of understanding a European film in which we have to determine why a character does what he/she does without the movie explaining it to us. I disagree with that analysis. A film is not a "pick your own adventure" type book. If I'm determining why a character takes an action in a film then I'm not following the story that was intended but instead I'm creating my own work. For me, a film is a story that the screen writer wrote and a director working with actors plays this story out on the screen. There is a clear point-of-view and journey to be followed.
That being said "Saving Mr. Banks" does an excellent job of picking up on the details that move the story forward. I understood why the Emma Thompson character was resistant to letting her characters go and at the same time, I was able to follow why Tom Hanks' character was working so hard to get her book onto the screen.
Overall, there were plenty of laughs and a tear or two as well. I remembered so well why I cried during "Let's Go Fly a Kite" in the original Mary Poppins. This film was understood by the director and lovingly handled by cast and crew. YEAH!
Loved this movie! Excellent acting. Great story. I hope Emma Thompson is nomintated for an Oscar. She was very convincing as the snobbish troubled author.
Marry Poppins was one of my favorite books when I was growing up and I knew that I just have to see this film no matter what. I was a bit afraid to see it because my expectations were pretty high and I did not want to be disappointed. I am glad to say that I wasn't, the film was great and I think it is worth seeing on the big screen. The film was very charming and it had great performances by Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson and surprisingly Colin Farrel. I usually don't like films that play with audience's emotions, but this movie was made in such a way that it did not bother me and that just shows how masterfully made the film is. The film was very sweet and I think that it will be nominated for an Oscar this year. Overall, this movie will inspire you and I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters.
My friend really wanted to see this film and she dragged me with her. I am not a fan of Disney, I think it is an evil corporation and in my opinion this film was a blatant pro-Disney corporate propaganda. Well, I was not wrong in that aspect, but I have to say that I still liked the film, I just couldn't help it, it was too charming to resist. Tom Hanks is wonderful as usual and definitely makes this film more likable and Emma Thompson also delivers a great performance. I did feel that the film was too long and too stretched out, there were also a lot of cliches in the film, however the good outweighed the bad and I left the theater pretty satisfied. Overall, I think this film is worth seeing in the theaters, it is worth your time and money.

College Hockey:Perry helps key Quinnipiac surge
It takes a lot of guts to step in front of an opponent's slap shot, just like it does to ask for the privilege of doing so. Melissa Perry knows that as well as anyone.
Perry, a junior defenseman at Quinnipiac, has gone from being a walk-on hopeful to being a key member of the Bobcats' air-tight blue line corps.
"It's amazing," said Perry, who hails from Chelsea, Mich. "Ever since I found out that there is women's college hockey, it's been a goal of mine. Just obtaining that goal is very satisfying and gratifying. But now I just want to keep proving myself. Try to be the best player that I can be. It's a great feeling to know that I've made it, but it's a continuing process to try to better myself."
Perry might not have even come to "the Q" at all if the schools in her home state, particularly Michigan, where her father Mark played for four years, offered the sport.
However, a visit to the rustic hills of Central Connecticut convinced her that Quinnipiac was the right place to pursue her major, physical therapy, if only she had a chance to pursue that other passion, hockey.
That she admitted, took the summoning of some nerve.
"I had talked to coach (Rick) Seeley before I had come to the school," she said. "He said that there were spots open. But not necessarily scholarships. He didn't approach me. It did take courage to put myself out there and hope that somebody would give me that chance to prove to them that I would be able to help the team. Be a big part of it."
"Obviously, hockey is a huge part of my life and to leave Michigan and come all the way up here, and hoping to play a leading role. I wasn't completely blind coming in. But I still had an idea that I would be on the team and be able to play."
Oh, she can play all right.
Standing a solid 5-foot-6, Perry has played in every game since the beginning of her freshman year. In the process, she has become one of several reasons why the Bobcats rank among the top 10 teams in the nation in scoring defense and scoring margin.
Which means that Quinnipiac has been doing a lot of winning, too, currently sitting second in the ultra-competitive ECAC.
"When we're playing our best," Perry said, "we're all holding each other accountable. We don't want to be the one to let the rest down. We're doing our best, knowing the other five are doing their best. We're pressuring hard, we're communicating well. We're trying to step up into the play and help in the offensive zone. We go through that every day in practice. It's kind of second nature to us."
The same way the game itself — and the will to grasp everything within it — is to her. That, she said, is a credit to her father, who was also a shutdown "D-man" back in the day (1978-82).
"He and my brother (Matt) were the reason I started playing hockey," she said. "He's coached me a lot of my life. He has been a huge influence on my game. He helps a lot on the mental aspects of my game and how to play defensively. Just everything."
Like his daughter, Mark Perry didn't have anything handed to him, either. Not heavily recruited, he managed nonetheless to stick with the Maize and Blue, buffing up his game with each shift.
"He was talked to by other schools," Melissa said. "But at Michigan, he did have to prove himself. He went out. Worked hard and came back to have a pretty big role."
Which is to say that how one gets the chance to play is less important than wringing the most out of the opportunity.
"Once we put our jerseys on and get ready for practice, once we get to the school, there isn't really that big of a difference," Perry said. "We all came here for a reason. The way that we got here doesn't matter anymore."
NOTES: One aspect that Perry has over her dad is goal scoring. Mark Perry scored just once in his four year career — he did it as a freshman — but Melissa has tallied twice. Perry, who excelled in both physics and French in high school, attends Quinnipiac on an academic scholarship, not an athletic one.

Maria Kacik | The Gazette
MEDINA — Five months ago, brothers Randy and Jeff Napier never thought twice about food safety while sitting down to a meal.
All that changed in January when their 80-year-old mother, Nellie Napier, died after being infected with a strain of salmonella linked to contaminated peanut butter.
The Napiers have spent the months since trying to find ways their mother might have been saved. This week, they are in Washington, D.C. — along with family members of other salmonella victims — to talk with lawmakers about bills covering potentially lethal food-borne illnesses.
Jeff, left, and Randy Napier review their itinerary for their trip to Washington, D.C., where they will be talking to legislators about food safety initiatives this week.. (Maria Kacik| Gazette)
"We just need to have the feeling that when we go sit down at a dinner table we have good food. That's the way it was originally intended to be,†said Jeff, 53, of Rittman. "But as the population grows and the faster companies have to make and inspect their food, it's just not inspected the way it should be.â€
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that earlier this year 691 people in 46 states contracted salmonella typhimurium after eating contaminated peanut products. The peanuts reportedly were manufactured by Peanut Corp. of America's Blakely, Ga., facility.
On Jan. 28, Peanut Corp. of America recalled all its products — which were used in peanut butter, baked goods, candy, crackers and other products — produced at that plant since the beginning of the year. The company filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on Feb. 13, states a letter from the company posted on the Food and Drug Administration's Web site.
Nellie, who enjoyed watching Cleveland Indians games and doing crossword puzzles, became sick in early January. It seemed like a bad case of an upset stomach. But on Jan. 9, she was at Medina General Hospital, dehydrated with failing kidneys.
A day after arriving at the hospital, tests showed Nellie had salmonella. A week and a half later, it was identified as the strain linked to contaminated peanut butter.
On Jan. 26, Nellie died — two days before Peanut Corp. of America officially recalled any of its products.
"I couldn't help but wonder how it could happen. It was a shock,†said Randy, who said he didn't know what tainted peanut butter product his mother had eaten.
The brothers said Nellie was the last reported death from the salmonella outbreak.
"This should have never happened,†said Randy, 51, of Medina. "Had the Food and Drug Administration had the authority they need, it would have never happened.â€
Randy and Jeff will be talking with representatives in Washington about proposed legislation they think would give the FDA that authority.
Two measures — the Dingell and DeLauro bills — are in the House's Energy and Commerce Committee. Both of them would give the FDA the authority to recall contaminated products.
Erik Olson, director of food and consumer product safety for Pew Charitable Trust in Washington, said the FDA currently can't make such calls. All recalls are done voluntarily by the company.
"The FDA needs the power when they do inspections to be able to do mandatory recalls right at that time, instead of waiting, postponing it and then this food gets shipped out anyway and it's poisoning people,†Jeff said.
Olson said the bill introduced by Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., would call for the FDA to do mandatory inspections of food producers at least once a year. Currently, he said, they are only inspected about once every 10 years.
"You can imagine how some of these outbreaks are happening,†Olson said.
Jeff and Randy are hoping their trip to Washington will spread awareness of food safety. The two said those concerned about the issue should write their state and federal representatives about potential food safety legislation.
"It only takes 10 minutes to make a phone call,†Randy said. "This is something that affects everybody. … The intent of this is to have safe food.â€
"Which is something we should have had all along,†Jeff added.

Tim Wilding talks about the Ibis Silk
Look out for Tim at the last 3 rounds of the NZ National MTB Champs, he'll be the lucky bugger on the first 2007 Superlight. He must have friends in really high place's, because I don't know where mine is!
Anywho, here's Tim's rave;
' In honesty, I wasn't expecting much out of my Ibis Silk Road before I received it. The last carbon frame I was on, from one of the 'big brands' was a bit of a dog, never tracking well and seemingly moving every way but forward. But a month on I can honestly say that the Silk road has surpassed even my most extravagant hopes, and that it is my frame of choice. Actually, one ride was all it took (and I've done more than one ride in the past month, honest!) but I like to spend at least a bit of time before i go around chucking superlatives. Because these are what Ibis deserves.
Should we start with the build? Now i know that there has been a proliferation of bare carbon bikes so such a 'paint job' is relatively de rigeur. But the Silk Road stands out for its elegance. Ibis have foregone strangely shaped tubes and garish decal schemes in favour of a classical look that just looks oh so beautiful when built with Campagnolo. The little touches like a beautiful (and metal!) head tube badge and exquisite seat clamp all reinforce the feeling that your on something special. I like that this bike doesn't have to scream it. My bike is a bit deceptive because its a farm-gate-esque 61cm but the tubing is actually quite over sized. The bottom bracket is reassuringly solid and everything just seems proportionate. The Silk Road has built up beautifully but for those of you who are avowedly anti bare carbon you can get a painted Silk Road from February onwards in a variety of colours. My favourite by far would have to be the cream white designed to resemble the head of a pint of Guinness. Nice!
And then the ride. I built it, then i rode it. Immediately i felt connected to the bike, chucking it into corners as hard as i could. Having a bike like this makes me wish i was back in Wellington with its tight windy descents and frenetic traffic to dart amongst. I have yet to feel like I'm losing the bike on a corner - I obviously need to go faster still, but right now my legs can't keep up!
On the flats and whilst climbing the Ibis seems to float along, taking out a lot of the buzz of a road. But this isn't a soft frame; I have yet to detect any deflection at all in the frame even whilst sprinting a climb. Its difficult to explain exactly how the Silk Road rides but its kind of the best of both worlds. You have this slight give that takes the edge off and keeps the wheels planted but there is an underlying and uncompromising stiffness. As i understand it, this comes out of the layup of the carbon during the building process. Many brands don't seem to have the knowledge to get it right but it would seem that Ibis do.
Ibis isn't a big brand, but on the strength of my Silk Road i would have to say that it is one that is difficult to go past. Two gangly thumbs way up'

A quick, but very belated update on a Tour De Vineyards results.
Tour de Vineyards, a great little tour in a fantastic part of the world. For the complete results click here.
Anyhow Josh Barley finished 8th overall and 3rd U23, with some very strong competition. Josh is now riding a new Ibis Silk which seemed to do the job very well, all the feed back I'm getting from new owners of Silks, is 'all good'. The bike is very light and very stiff in all the right places and better than any of their previous carbon road bikes they have owned.
George Bennett finished 13th overall and 3rd in U19. Watch out for George at the next round of the national mtb champs. He'll be the one on a Superlight.
Congrat's goes to Brenda 'Bob' Clapp, our friendly Nelsonian got 3rd overall at the TDV in the biggest women's field in the history of the TDV.

Released: Jun 01st, 2003
Running Time: 136
Director: John Stagliano
Company: Evil Angel
Cast: Mandy Bright, Brandy (I), Claudia Jamsson, John Stagliano, Manuel Ferrara, Brandon Iron, Leslie Taylor, Christoph Clark
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
Buttman, or Euro-butt smut if you need a hook.
Claudia Jamsson, over the credits, pulls out her tits and flashes the overcast grey Eastern-European afternoon before Manuel Ferrara comes to her door where she greets him with a slap before they head off to the bedroom for a cocksuckin', pussy-and-butt-lickin', fuckin', spittin', vosburg-poundin', dick-chokin', face frostin' good time.
No sooner does Ferrara deposit a jizzload on her smiling kisser and a loogie in her mouth than we get a hand-held walk through a house where we get a peek at Brandy, taking a ciggie break as Stagliano takes his hand-held camera to her and hand-holds her tit and butt, zeroing in for a count-the-puckers tight close-up of her bung and also peeking at her delectable snatch before she is joined by Leslie Taylor, knowingly smilingly telling Stagliano "I know what you like" and kissing it, licking it and fucking it before the scene is over.
On a rainy afternoon in Budapest, Stagliano accosts C.G. Summer and asks her about a nearby building and gets her to pose for paparazzo Brandon Iron under the eye of Christoph Clark. As she strips, Iron starts to jerk off, as does Clark, and even Stagliano gets a little butt-worship in before the main event, which includes a transparent butt plug. For the finish, Mandy Bright undulates in a sunny room under the watchful eye and hardening dick of Manuel Ferrara. When Stagliano brings his camera close to her eyes, her breath fogs the lens. Bright and Ferrara take turns taking command here, and both have a fucking good time, with her taking the hard butt-banging and turning the tables by sliding off and sucking Ferrara's dick as he moans in pleasure. When he pops in her mouth, the relief is felt by the viewer.
Stagliano makes the most of his time, letting each scene find its pace and going with it. The scenes tease, cajole, and pay off, every time, leaving the viewer pleased, sated - and wanting more.

This is a perfect example of how hilariously balanced wow pvp in mists has become. Many classes hinge on several silly abilities.

to add to this, you dont have to do anything as a rogue apart from spam damage. when i try to play rogue 'oldstyle' im criticised by my partners for trying to actually control the game as im "not spamming enough damage." This is why rogues are so shit and boring as in wrath/cata you actually could win the game by controlling/outplaying but now you can lose to the most mongoloid of teams that just simply spam more damage or have more rng. overall the class mechanics are so outdated and all you need to do is spam damage to win, hence why it is boring and people dont like playing it. rogues simply got left behind with this expansion, due to the fact that they were so shit at the start of the expan that they randomly buffed them in stupid areas like 50% nerve strike, mass stealth, blades and marked for death, which are all stupid/boring/bursty talents that require 0 brain cells to play with, as they are all passive and shit.
Another reason people hate to play rogues is especially in this season they are only really viable in 1 comp: Rogue/mage/x - which is linear and boring, just spam damage and win gg. There is no rps/rls or any variations as they are shit, why take a rogue when u have warrior etc
its just a shit class to play

I don't play rogue anymore and have noticed this problem. So I'm not a dogshit person complaining about my own class. I am saying it about a class I used to enjoy because it took finesse, and now all finesse will do is get your team a loss.

http://www.mmo-champ...ords-of-Draenor, three abilities changed 2 of which are completely useless information for people who pvp,subterfuge nerfed and thats it. Another expansion of shadowstepping to people on 20 sec cd, while everyone else has Dragon Ball Z-like mobility talents or new abilities. Oh yes, and I wish I could tell my self this little beautiful lie that 'this is just the alpha notes, it will be fine by the time expansion goes live', but I did that in cataclysm and mop and guess what
- Disarm Trap has been removed.
- Rupture is no longer available to Combat Rogues.
- Shadow Blades has been removed.
- Subterfuge now allows you to use abilities that require stealth for 3 sec after leaving Stealth, instead of actually staying stealthed for 3 sec.

It's actually worse than that. Somehow the Rogue notes are far from complete (they didn't even mention CPs stacking on the Rogue... maybe... finally, or Redirect being removed).
They're actually removing Premeditation too.

I dont know, there was this talent on PTR (right about when cloak and dagger got nerfed), http://wowhead.com/spell=137638 and this is something that would be fun to use, could open up a lot of possibilities for CC or interrupts or even connecting to the target, I dont understand why cant they just make that spell be passive for rogues, on top of the shadowstep that we already have. I mean, they do just give new abilities/spells like that to other classes out of the blue, why not rogues?
If I am not mistaken, rogues could at least shadowstep with roots in TBC, right now you cant even do that and the cd is somewhat the same. So, BC>WOTLK>CATA>MOP>and now WOD, and we are stuck with the same gapcloser? With abilities like gateway/teleport symbiosis/displacer beast/blazing speed/hc leap/monk flying across the map/feathers with guise, its just not enough to stick to the target, hell, its not even enough to escape if you are in trouble...

Well, they did manage to nerf it between TBC and WoD. I mean, it used to be 15 seconds and break roots, then it went up to 24 seconds and can't be used while rooted, and recently they were oh so kind to reduce it to 20 seconds. Sprint still on a 1 min. cooldown is kind of a joke too. Remember when it would break movement-impairing effects for Combat (sort of like, you know, the spell Monks got, Tiger's Lust, which is on a 30 sec CD)?
But I'm probably just bitching because I had high expectations for the patch notes and am pretty disappointed about them now.

Yes, WoW is currently suffering from Button Bloat, but Premeditation wasn't one of the buttons which were under that category... Pretty sure you agree, as it had more uses than just applying SnD before opening. Plus it has been a core spell to the Subtlety spec, since forever...

avocado salad with carrot-ginger dressing
But I really love a good avocado salad. And my husband thinks that carrot-ginger dressings are pretty much the best thing ever. He always talks about one he'd get in college from a place called Around the Clock (it is now a Japanese bakery, next to St. Marks Books) and how he'd always crave it and how nobody really makes it as perfectly as they did, or nobody before I tried Paltrow's version — "You got the recipe just right!"
And he's right, it is pretty awesome (thanks, Gwyneth!), and it doesn't matter whether you're eating it for the healthful promises within or just because it tastes really good. The sharp flavors of the raw shallot and ginger are rounded out by the toasted, nutty seasame oil and miso, mellowed by the sweet ground carrot and contrasted by the sweet, smooth avocado in the salad. We loved this. We wanted to dip everything in it, which is good, because it makes a lot (but should not be used sparingly, as you would a thinner dressing). Even Jacob wanted to get in on the action, staring so hard at us as we ate our salads that I couldn't resist offering him a taste of the dressing. He was aghast. I'm going to assume that's a good thing.
One year ago: We hang out on The Pioneer Woman's Ranch!
Three years ago: Tequila-Lime Chicken and Green Onion Slaw
Avocado Salad with Carrot-Ginger Dressing
Adapted from Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP.com
The major changes I made to the recipe were to increase the miso and sesame oil because I like it when their flavors are noticeable. This recipe has a real bite to it from the fresh ginger and the shallot. The original recipe suggested a large one, I suggest a more thimble-like small one. If you don't want as loud of a ginger bite, use one tablespoon instead of two. This will make a lot but I like salads best with a heavy helping of this. You'll go through it faster than you'd expect.
Serves 4, with dressing to spare
1 large carrot, peeled and roughly chopped
1 small shallot, peeled and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh ginger
2 tablespoons sweet white miso
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seed oil
1/4 cup grapeseed or another neutral oil
2 tablespoons water
1 small/medium head of lettuce (I used Bibb) or mixed greens of your choice
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1 avocado, quartered
Whiz the carrots, shallot and ginger in a blender or food processor until finely chopped. Scrape down the sides, then add the miso, vinegar and sesame oil. While the machine running, slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil and the water.
Divide the lettuce among four bowls, add some of the onion and a quarter of the avocado. Drizzle with plenty of dressing and serve.

Chaps, I have just bought a new amp, a Decware Zen SE84CW (older 2003 model of the version below).
It has a pair of EL84 tubes in the output stage, instead of the original SV83. I gather (and on the Decware site) that they are interchangeable, and require no bias change as its auto-bias.
To return it to original spec, where is best to find some SV83 tubes? There are a few places, they seem very cheap.
Also the Rectifier tube can be changed for a number of different models, including the 274B which is a common modification apparently over the original 5U4G.
Are these changes likely to make a massive change?
This is my first proper tube amp, I had the Consonance Cyber 10SE USB a good while back (a single ended KT88 amp) but I did not really have it long enough to play with other valves.
Ta, Rob

Long-time Detroit Red Wings captain Steve Yzerman headlines the Hockey Hall of Fame's Class of 2009, it was announced Tuesday.
Jim Gregory, co-chairman of the board for the Hockey Hall of Fame, made the announcement on a conference call.
Yzerman will be joined by two former teammates, Brett Hull and Luc Robitaille, as well as former New York Rangers defenseman Brian Leetch.
"It is a tremendous honour to receive this news," Yzerman said. "I want to thank the Selection Committee for recognizing my contributions - I truly had chills down my spine when I got the news."
Yzerman was drafted fourth overall in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft by Detroit and spent his entire 22-season career with the Red Wings. He was named team captain as a 21-year-old, at the time the youngest captain in NHL history and the longest-serving captain by the time of his retirement.
Hull joined the Red Wings in during the summer of 2001 and was with the team for their 2002 Stanley Cup Championship, his second time claiming the trophy. He broke into the league with the Calgary Flames before making a name for himself with the St. Louis Blues. He moved on to the Dallas Stars, winning the Cup there before coming to Detroit and ending his career with a short stint for the Phoenix Coyotes.
Robitaille also joined the Red Wings in their eventful summer of 2001, part of a trifecta of future Hall-of-Famers to come to Detroit that also included Dominik Hasek. Robitaille won his only career Stanley Cup that year in a career that included three stints with the Los Angeles Kings, a season with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and two years with the Rangers.
Leetch spent nearly his entire career with the Rangers, claiming the Stanley Cup in 1994 with them and remaining with the team until he was moved to Toronto at the 2004 trade deadline. He played one season with the Boston Bruins to close out his career.
This year's induction ceremony will be November 9.
"Yzerman will be joined by two former teammates, Brett Hull and Luc Robitaille, as well as former New York Rangers defenseman Brian Leetch"
Thats a pretty outstanding class. Congrats to all of them, definitely deserving.
Indeed. Kind of hard to go wrong with any of those guys.
Though I did see a great argument against Leetch because his career plus/minus is only +25.
Yzerman to me is one of the greatest to ever play. His Mint Rookie Card is one of my prized possessions of all my cards.
It's one that always brought the most interest when I used to peddle my wares back in the day, I'm glad I held onto it.
Yeah I'm sure This lil HoF thing might see the value jump a bit
Steve Yzerman

As part of the summer reading program of the ABC (Albuquerque Bernalillo County) libraries, they encourage kids to read during the summer by encouraging them in fun ways. The 'Live Birds of Prey by Wildlife Rescue Inc.' is visiting libraries around Albuquerque and Bernalillo County to give a live presentation about wildlife. They will be bringing along real live birds such as an owl, hawk and falcon for the kids to see up close and personal. The Wildlife Rescue Inc. will be teaching the kids about how humans and wildlife can work work together to keep our environment safe for birds to thrive in. They'll teach about environmental hazards, man-made obstacles, habitat loss, forest fires and pollution. These are all real threats to New Mexico wildlife and we can be part of making it cleaner and safer for ourselves and the wildlife that are native to our state.
Kids will get to see these magnificent winged creatures in person and not behind a cage. While it is likely that they cannot touch the birds, they can view them from up close and see how they interact with the audience and their handler. They will learn all about each bird, including about how it eats, where it lives and how it came into contact with Wildlife Rescue Inc. Curious kids should come prepared to ask their questions because there is time devoted to answering questions from the audience. They want you to be familiar with wildlife so that we can know how to best treat them and interact in their environment. Cameras are also welcome.
The 'Live Birds of Prey by Wildlife Rescue Inc.' is making its way around the different libraries in town. Check the calender of events at your favorite library to see when it is visiting there. The South Broadway Library will be having a visit from the birds on Wednesday, July 16th from 11:30 am- 12:30 pm. While there, be sure to ask about their reading program and get your kid signed up to earn and possibly win cool prizes. There is also other free events taking place that the libraries including playing the wii, reading to dogs, magic shows, story-time, free movies, singing and more.

Disease Proof
Trans-Fat in Diet Food
More proof that "diet food" is pretty much just over-glorified junk. Apparently some Weight Watchers foods in Australia contain hydrogenated oils. Diet-Blog is on it:
Weight Watchers Australia has come under criticism for using hydrogenated vegetable oils in its branded dessert foods. Please note that this applies to mousse and custard products only in Australia and New Zealand.
This issue of "diet" food is an interesting one. The Weight Watchers plan (which is arguably one of the most respected weight loss programs) does not require any "special" foods.
So why the need for branded foods?
Weight Watchers relies on the "Points" system - whereby certain nutritional components of a food are aggregated into a single value: the number of points. Ready-made branded foods have the points value listed on the box - so presumably this makes shopping slightly easier.

25 years of BC success adds up to good things for Accent Inns
June 30, 2011, Victoria, BC – Although the BC owned and operated hotel chain Accent Inns has undergone many changes during its 25 year history (including its name, ownership and décor), one thing that's never wavered is the hotels' values and community commitment.
"Accent Inns has always stood strong on a number of principles – and being a good employer has always taken the top spot," said Mandy Farmer, CEO of Accent Inns. "While we pride ourselves on providing great value, cleanliness and customer service to our guests, we couldn't do any of it if we didn't have such great staff."
A testament to Farmer's dedication to her staff is Accent Inns' low staff turnover – 48 per cent of the hotel line's current employees have been with the company for 10 years or more. (more…)

Saint Mark's Bistro
|Saint Mark's Bistro.
|GTA San Andreas
|Salvatore Leone
|Giorgio Forelli
|Caligula's Palace, Las Venturas.
|$20000 and + Respect
|Second set of missions for Madd Dogg
Saint Mark's Bistro is the last mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas played for Salvatore Leone.
|Spoiler Warning: Plot and/or ending details are in the text which follows.
Salvatore Leone is pissed that the Forellis sent a group of hitmen to try and kill him in previous mission Freefall, and now wants revenge. So he's sending you to kill the Don of the Forelli Family, Giorgio Forelli, at Marco's Bistro in Liberty City.
The Mission
When you start off, the "back-up" you chose, Ken Rosenberg, Kent Paul and Maccer will leave Las Venturas for Los Santos and you'll have to pull this alone. Get to the airport and get in Salvatore's Jet, then fly yourself to Liberty City. When you arrive, a Taxi will take you to Marco's Bistro in Saint Mark's.
When you enter, the guards won't let you through, so a shootout will begin. First you'll have to shoot the guards in the entrance, next are the ones in the main eatery and next the guards in the service hallway. Now enter the kitchen and kill the guards there, finally, move on to the parking lot and kill the bodyguards there along with Giorgio Forelli. After killing Giorgio, you'll automatically be back on Salvatore's Jet, headed to Las Venturas.
Fly the same way you came and then land the plane on Runway 3, then get off of it to complete the mission.
(Salvatore's Office, Salvatore Leone, Maria Latore, Maccer, Kent Paul, Ken Rosenberg and Carl Johnson.)
(Salvatore is teaching Maria how to throw knives by using Maccer as a target, Maccer is tied to a corkboard stuck to the wall.)
Salvatore: Just feel the weight of the weapon, sweetheart.
Maria: I can feel the weight of someone's weapon!
Salvatore: Well, you're the one to blame on that front.
Maccer: Can I fucking go now or fucking what?
(Salvatore throws the knife at Maccer and hits him right below the balls.)
Maccer: OOooh! You fucking twat, right in the fucking happy sack!
Kent Paul: Perhaps you'll be cured of your little anitsocial condition, mate.
(Carl Johnson enters.)
Salvatore: Carl, my man!
Carl: Mr. Leone.
Salvatore: Looks like this piece of shit was right. You did a real number on those Forelli losers. Now it's time the Forellis found out what it means to screw with Salvatore Leone! How would you like to hit the St. Mark's Bistro?
Carl: A Hit in Liberty City? Cool, but I'm gonna need some back-up.
Salvatore: Take who you want.
(Carl points at Kent Paul and Maccer.)
Carl: Well, usually I use these two.
Ken: Hey, hey. Remember all those jobs we did together, huh? Huh? You and me, Carl, do you remember, huh? You know you used to call me "Killer" Ken? Ken The Killer? Ice cold Ken...that's me.
Carl: And him too, I guess...
(Outside Caligula's Palace, Carl, Maccer and Ken.)
Carl: Alright, you guys better get out of Las Venturas, fast! I'll be in touch.
Maccer: What about your back-up, man, will you be alright without us?
Ken: Of course he will you fucking moron, come on!
(Ken, Maccer and Kent Paul leave Las Venturas for Los Santos and Carl heads to Liberty City in Salvatore's Jet, then he is taken to Marco's Bistro.)
(Marco's Bistro, Forelli Guard and Carl.)
Forelli Guard: Private function, invitation only!
Carl: Oh yeah? Well, Mr. Leone says otherwise!
(Carl kills all the Forellis in Marco's Bistro and then heads back to Las Venturas in Salvatore's Jet.)
(Las Venturas Airport, Carl and Landing Commander.)
Carl: This is flight CJ101 out of Liberty City, requesting final approach to Las Venturas International, over.
Landing Commander: You are clear for landing on Runway 3, over.
