OSHA Chemical Regulations Mean 'Work for Manufacturers'
Chemical manufacturers have a lot of work ahead as they aim to comply with regulations occurring from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration aligning its 2012 Hazard Communication Standard with the United Nations' Globally Harmonized System framework, according to a white paper by compliance products firm Labelmaster.
In March 2012, OSHA revised its 1983 Hazard Communication Standard, or HCS, by aligning it with the UN's global chemical communication system: the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals, or GHS. By the end of 2013, the first deadline outlined in the regulation will have passed and the largest change in workplace safety regulation since 1983 will be in full swing, according to GHS Impact On US Chemical Manufacturers: Regulatory Changes And Practical Guidance.
According to Dr. David Michaels, assistant secretary of labor for occupational safety and health, the 1983 HCS gave workers the right to know whereas the 2012 update gives them "the right to understand, as well."
By Dec. 1, all US workers who come into contact with just one chemical in the workplace will have to be trained to understand how to interpret hazards communicated through pictograms and standardized material safety data sheets, now called safety data sheets, or SDS.
Whereas the 1983 HCS simply mandated that chemicals were labelled with their identity, appropriate hazard warnings and some other administrative information, the 2012 requirements call for a more detailed description of the chemical as well as a hazard statement, pictograms, precautionary statements and a number of other pieces of information related to potential hazards. According to Labelmaster, chemical manufacturers will have to do most of the work to comply with the incoming regulations.
In March, information and analytics company IHS released updated versions of its enterprise software for advanced product compliance, chemical management and safety data sheet management. IHS Comply Plus 3.2 and IHS Intelligent Authoring 4.3.1 aims to offer many improvements that help organizations address business challenges driven by the revised hazard communication standard from OSHA.

In an autotools-based project I am bundling another, small static library, and linking this into my final shared library in a safe way (the static is built with -fPIC, etc.) In the end there should be no evidence at all of the existence of the internal static lib as part of the build process, and its symbols should all be "copied" into the shared lib.
The last condition is certainly met, checked with
nm, and using
ldd on the shared lib reveals no "needed" ELF section dependency on the static lib. But libtool's
.la archive file is a different story: the
dependency_libs variable in there picks up a
-lmy-secret-temp-lib (names have been changed to protect the innocent) entry which then breaks any libtool-based project which tries to build against the final library since that dependency can never be met. Non-libtool projects are of course fine since nothing other than libtool looks in
.la files.
Is there a way that I can tell libtool to not add a library to the
dependency_libs variable in its
.la file when it is included in the
xxxx_la_LIBADD variable? Maybe there are some before-and-after args like
-flibtool_ignore -lmy-secret-lib -flibtool_payattention to allow the developer to tell libtool to stop getting in the way? It'd be nice to be able to tell autotools/libtool to not make/install the
.la file at all, but that doesn't seem to be an option!

Reviewers Rave
"The assessment information is ordered in an appropriate meaningful way. I especially like the fact that students can go to the website and download an IRI." –Dr. Priscilla Leggett, Fayetteville State University
"I like how assessment is embedded with text topics as well as with teaching strategies favoring developing readers and writers. [The] text goes into greater detail about the causes of reading problems and addresses the nature versus nurture question better than I have seen in other texts. It does have very good coverage of assessment and teaching strategies for the reading process." –Terrence V. Stange, Marshall University

Carly Fiorina: Waterboarding Helped 'Keep Our Nation Safe'
CREDIT: AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall
The CIA was justified when it waterboarded terrorism suspects in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina told Yahoo News on Monday, saying there was "there was no other way to get information" from those suspects.
Adding to her reputation as an advocate of aggressive military and counterterrorism measures, Fiorina explicitly rejected a 2014 Senate report which found that waterboarding and other "enhanced interrogation techniques" never prevented a single terrorist attack. Instead, she said it helped "keep our nation safe."
"I believe that all of the evidence is very clear — that waterboarding was used in a very small handful of cases [and] was supervised by medical personnel in every one of those cases," Fiorina said, according to Yahoo News. "And I also believe that waterboarding was used when there was no other way to get information that was necessary."
Waterboarding — deemed "torture" by the International Committee of the Red Cross and most everyone who has endured it — involves strapping someone down, covering their face with cloth, and pouring water over their face. It essentially convinces the victim that they are drowning.
Fiorina is not the first presidential candidate to defend George W. Bush-era counterterrorism tactics, including torture. At the second Republican debate, former Florida governor Jeb Bush said his brother's strategy after 9/11 " kept us safe," and previously said he'd been open to repealing the current ban on certain techniques. Donald Trump has also said he would be open to waterboarding, while Sen. Marco Rubio and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson have both refused to say what kind of interrogation tactics they would support.
The comments are also not the first Fiorina has made in defense of aggressive military and counterterorrism measures. On the campaign trail in Iowa this weekend, she touted her unique foreign policy experience, which includes a top-level security clearance and a two-year stint as the chair of the the CIA's External Advisory Board. The former Hewlett-Packard CEO also advocated providing bombs and other military equipment to countries fighting ISIS in the Middle East, as well as investing more money into the U.S. Nuclear Triad.
"We must have the strongest military on the face of the planet, and everyone has to know," she said, adding that she wants to decrease the power of the Pentagon bureaucracy while increasing investments in weaponry.
"We are going to have to invest and rebuild our military, much the same way that Ronald Reagan had to decades ago," she said, echoing what she said during the second Republican debate. "And that means specifically about 50 Army brigades, it means about 36 marine battalions, about 350 naval battleships, it means reinvesting in the Nuclear Triad." The numbers are nearly identical to those advocated by the conservative Heritage Foundation.
Her plan to build up the military would also be expensive — according to The Daily Beast, it would add $500 billion to the $5 trillion the Pentagon already plans to spend over the next 10 years. Fiorina has not yet laid out her plan for how to pay for that increase.
For that, and her assertion that America needs "the strongest military on the face of the planet," Fiorina has faced some criticism — even from conservatives. "[The] U.S. already has by far the strongest military in the world, and everyone (with the possible exception of the 2016 Republican field) is well aware of this," The American Conservative's Daniel Larison wrote last week. " It is an extraordinarily expensive and unnecessary commitment, and it is being made at a time when the U.S. faces no peer competitor and faces the fewest major threats it has known in decades."

The second salvo in the fiscal 2013 budget battle has been launched. The GOP has released its budget proposal, a contrast to President Barack Obama's request released in February. The stage is now set for Congressional wrangling over which parts of the proposals to actually pass as part of the next fiscal year's budget.
The Republican proposal, which Rep. Paul Ryan, (R-Wisc), released on March 20, includes spending cuts aimed at reducing the deficit, including extending the current freeze on federal employees' salaries through 2015 and reducing the federal workforce by 10 percent. Obama's budget would end the pay freeze and give a small (0.5 percent) raise to civilian federal employees.
"The reforms called for in this budget aim to slow the federal government's unsustainable growth and reflect the growing frustration of workers across the country at the privileged rules enjoyed by government employees," reads a line in the budget document.
In the proposal, Ryan recommends boosting the private sector by slowing the growth of the public sector. The government has hired 147,000 new workers since Obama took office in 2009, according to the budget.
To Ryan, "it's no coincidence that private-sector employment continues to grow only sluggishly while the government expands," according to the proposal. He notes that the government needs a strong workforce and federal workers need equitable pay for the work they do. However, he said employees' pay increases and fringe benefits need reforms to better align with the private-sector counterparts.
As is usual in partisan politics, the other political party opposes much of Ryan's proposal. "They provide a gilded path to prosperity for the already wealthy, while leaving working Americans and future generations behind," Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), ranking member of the House Budget Committee, said in a statement.
The debate over comparing compensation and salaries and benefits between the public and private sectors has been going on in the government for some time. Each side of the debate points to their chosen analyses to support their arguments. In this proposal, Ryan cites a report from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office released in January that said federal employees are compensated on average 16 percent higher than comparable private-sector employees.
"Immune from the effects of the recession, federal workers have received regular salary bumps regardless of productivity or economic realities," Ryan wrote.
The two-year pay freeze that federal employees are under hasn't stopped all pay raises. The Office of Personnel Management reported in December 2010 that promotions, in-grade step increases and other individually based pay increases, such as bonuses, have not been affected.
Extending the pay freeze and letting the workforce shrink through attrition will save an estimated $268 billion over 10 years, according to the GOP budget.
The budget's proposed reforms also target the government's improper payments to companies and individuals, an effort the Obama administration has tackled since 2009. In addition, it includes measures aimed at duplicative programs. Congressional authorizing committees, which oversee various departments and agencies, would provide the House Budget Committee with areas in which to reduce spending on wasteful and out-of-date programs. The House Budget Committee writes the federal budget. The recommendations would also go online for transparency's sake.
The workforce measures had been anticipated earlier, but details were sketchy.

As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.

What contracting officer representatives really think is needed to fix contract management.
@George. Your miseading of people is exactly what needs to stop. Steps ARE salary increases. You get more pay. It's that simple. Nothing more, nothing less. Most feds ARE getting step (salary) increases. Only those maxed out in any grade (even low grades) are frozen. Most are not maxed out. For those out there that are not feds, I'm a long time fed. I know what I'm talking about.
@Mimi. No I am not mistaken. I, too, am a fed and maxed out within my pay grade. I'm not a senior manager like yourself. I also have two kids in college with one income earner for my family. I have strained as you have. I was maxed out in 2007 and when the President agreed to a 2 year freeze, it hit me very hard and does every day. BUT, most around me and in the federal workforce are NOT maxed out and as such are receiving step increases in their salary. Some are caught more than others since the step times are 1, 2, or 3 years apart. However, only those maxed out are truly frozen in salary and I hate it. @Truth, you hit the nail on the head about the CSRS (the old fed retirement system). It was VERY lucrative and was discontinued under Reagan in 1984. But, it gives us in FERS a bad rep even when those of us hired after 1984, have much less and will now have to pay more. One last thing, am I the only one that is ticked at the President for so quickly agreeing to the freeze in the first place? Shows what he thinks of federal employees.....
Make no mistake about it, federal salaries ARE frozen. Yes, we still get pay step increases if they are coming to us, but that isn't a pay raise! That is simply your time in service that you are obligated to be given. Cola's are frozen, period! As a federal worker with my Cola's frozen and the price of everything going through the roof, I am compelled to get a part time job to make ends meet because of the financial setbacks this freeze has cost me. This is not a pity party for me, I'll be okay one way or the other. But if I was a newer fed worker, I'm afraid I would be shopping my talents elsewhere. Personally I don't feel very valued as a federal worker anymore, way over worked and starting to get seriously underpaid for the work I offer to the government. Watch out! I'm not the only one that feels this way. Keep cutting our "overpaid" wages and watch us walk out the door in droves!
I don't understand the over paid statement. I took a $25,000.00 pay cut 10 years ago to become a fed and my salary has not kept pace with my civilian counterparts, who now make 2 - 3 times what I make.
I also put in a lot more than 40 hours a week to ensure cybersecurity in the Federal government.
Congress should look at their salary and benefits before taking it out on the Federal work force.
"Folks need to understand, most feds salaries are not frozen. Promotions and steps are continuing as stated in the article. Only those maxed out within their grade are frozen. Most are not maxed out. Federal employees, please stop trying to make people believe your salary is frozen, when it's not" Hey doofus, Please STOP trying to make people believe you know what you're talking about, because you don't. People are stupid if they believe what legislators say about my Federal salary and benefits. Look who's talking this hype - the non-performing, highly paid, priveleged Congress. Get a clue. You aren't seeing any of them give anything up, are you?

more plainly stated, are you infering that the microes within us are a possible link to ESP/intuition? As a farmer at heart, I have noticed that proximity to other plants of its kind plays a role in the health of plants. Is what you Aether and Seer are implying is that the root systems of plants are in a communication with each other on a micobe level?

Yes, it's the perfect form for surviving a car crash. But it's also the perfect form for so much more, like surviving the trauma of reading any news headline in 2016.
It's just a little confusing, is all.

"then one can either sell some puts at a strike price below current market as a way of possibly acquiring more shares at a cheaper price." I agree with your strategy but where is Resistance Price, is it $50 - $45 - or $40 ( I sure hope not ! ) Extremely difficult to figure out which way to go, or maybe just sit still & wait for rebound & that scares me to death, woe is me what to do !!!

The effects of air temperature (T) (unheated and 35 °C), infrared radiation intensity (IP) (894, 1004, 1190, 1314 and 1410 Wm−2) and air velocity (Av) (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 ms−1) on drying characteristics of tomatoes, drying time (DT), specific energy consumption (SEC) and quality parameters were investigated. DT and SEC varied between 114 and 249 min, 10.04 and 18.22 MJ kg−1 water, respectively, and were significantly affected by process variables. Shrinkage ratio (S) and rehydration ratio (Rr) were varied between 0.129 and 0.214, 2.11 and 2.86 for all the drying conditions, respectively. Total colour change (ΔE) varied from 5.30 to 13.19. Vitamin C content decreased, while lycopene content increased with infrared drying. For optimum points, desirability of functions of all targets had satisfactory, very good and excellent desirability values and ranged between 0.54 and 0.99.

I had Dr. Diederich perform a breast augmentation. I could not be more happy with the procedure or with the results. Both the office staff and Dr. Diederich were very helpful and informative as I made my decision to have the surgery done. After the procedure, I could not be happier with the results. I get compliments all the time, and I feel great. Thank you, Dr. Diederich & staff!
Extremely friendly staff. Atmosphere makes patient relax. Explanation of procedure (was) thorough…GREAT COFFEE!
I always wanted to get a breast augmentation but was terrified to do it. I finally took the plunge after attending a seminar by Dr Diederich. He had mentioned that majority of his patients only have have to take something for the discomfort the first day. He was right, I was amazed at how well everything went, how little discomfort I had and how great they look!

After all, eps in 83 was 1.46, in 99 estimated at1.50. The stock price has basically missed the entirebull market since 1987 (and maybe before that - don'thave the detail). Return on equity sucks.Return on assets suck. There's no real dividend growthto speak of. Operating and net margins have beenpitiful. Apparently the same management team is in place(you tell me). Bottom line: why should Ibelieve that the company will translate these orders intoany real profitability? History seems to suggest ahealthy lack of disrespect here. So tell me, whyshould I change my mind? I'm an institutional investorof sorts (a flea-spot one), and the orders DO haveme intrigued, but.......and forgive mefor my UNsofistiCAtion --> what is klix?
I wonder if you're looking at the same Value Linereport I am.Estimates, Q1 through Q4: .30, .35,.40, .45 = 1.50The Q4 estimate is .45, not Q2.Just wondering why you distrust the assessment of Mr.Virgile? He seems to give more thought than most to hisanalyses.
Let me address as many of your points as I amable:If 0.45 is the Q2 number, the '99 total will be muchhigher than 1.50 - this should be obvious, since the newcontracts will begin accruing during '99; most of thesecontracts run several years; whilst I will grant that therecord of cost over-runs is abysmal, any variance on theprojections for the recent orders are unlikely to berecognized until at least next year - so how could theyreport 0.30, 0.45 and then only 0.75 for the remaining 6months without some kind of extraordinary charge? Ithink 0.45 is high, but I'll be chuffed if they hit it- suffice to say I am in agreement with yourassessment of the worth of Mr/Ms Virgile'sanalyses.As far as the management is concerned, you should beaware that the main mission of the London office (atleast since Cubic bought out Westinghouse) has been toappease the London Transport Authorities enough to ensurethat Cubic was awarded the entire transport systemscontract once the system was put on the privatizationblock by the British Government. Doing business in theworld of secret handshakes and the old school tie canbe a tricky business, something Americans often donot appreciate. The London office was crawling withAmericans until the PRESTIGE contract was secured lastyear. Now there is an Englishman back in charge, thankGod!I believe Cubic expects Automated RevenueCollection will offer the greatest potential for sustainedgrowth over the coming decade, although if NATO keepsblowing things up, who knows?As far as Klix isconcerned, I posted a link back in message #35 orthereabouts.Do be a sport then, and give us your guess for theQ2 EPS.

The paper describes ongoing research in data mining techniques investigated for modelling seasonal climate effects on grapevine phenology that determines the ratio of grape berry composition that in turn determines the fineness of wine vintage in addition to winemaker experience and talent. A brief introduction to the literature in this problem domain is followed by a discussion on conventional statistical data analysis methods that looks at the problems in using these methods with only a decade old data, often considered as incomplete in sequence. Data relating to vineyard yield with its coincident seasonal climate change is used in this study to model seasonal climate effects at micro scales i.e., vineyard, using data mining techniques, decision trees and statistical methods. The initial results show potential for predicting future grapevine yield using vineyard data for more specific scenario building than is possible now, using macro climate data.

On Sunday afternoons battle rages in Radcliff City Park. Dressed in combat array and period garb, men and women fight with ancient skills and foam weapons while building communal ties and treasured friendships.
One of the most positive aspects in geekdom is the sense of community that develops among people who are fans of the same thing. It can start with something as simple as a shared understanding of geek language and end up a friendship.
This is especially true through role play gaming. Sometimes this is done through online games such as World of Warcraft or table gaming like Dungeons and Dragons. But others, like those in the amtgard troupe in Radcliff, take it a step further through live- action role play.
Amtgard members dress in medieval style clothes and fight each other with foam covered weapons similar to what was seen in the film "Role Models."
The skills they use are from a forgotten time with a sense of fantasy mixed with history. It's not only a fighting group but one that focuses on medieval leatherworks and sewing.
Interest in this activity increases when books, films or television shows such as "The Lord of the Rings" or "Game of Thrones" become popular, participants said.
Matt "Drakes" Troutman is the Baron of Five Oaks, the name of this amtgard group's Barony. The live-action role play has rules and regulations like any sport, he said. They also have rules in place for safety.
Many in the group strive for knighthood in areas of service, fighting, the arts and high levels of offices.
Troutman said when people fight together you get to know what kind of person you are dealing with and it builds community. These warriors often hang out together outside of the game, eating together and helping one another, he said.
Randy "Teth" Smith shares the communal feeling. He knows any time he needs help, amtgard members are there for him. Not long ago his car broke down and many from the group offered aid. He knows that no matter where in the country he is, someone in the national amtgard will help him if needed.
Smith started playing in 1993 when he was serving in the military in Germany. That group played in Frankenstein Castle.
He found the group in Radcliff in 2001 and made immediate connections.
"It was like coming home again," he said.
In the online role playing game World of Warcraft, players get interested in medieval and fantasy things but they keep their community online, he said. With amtgard, they get out to socialize with others who have similar interests.
Smith is a graphic designer by trade but does leatherworking in the amtgard world. He has been knighted for his work. Sometimes he creates monsters and goblins for big themed battles.
Melissa "Enfys de Verell" LaLiberte's love of playing dress up drew her to amtgard. She likes focusing on the arts and sciences and makes her own and others' garb. Some people like fantasy attire but she likes to research the history of what she's wearing and prefers the Anglo-Saxon period.
She is the oldest in the group and often serves as the group's mom.
They often get together in each other's homes to play games and work on their craft. They usually cross into other interests such as comics and sci-fi.
"For some of us, we are nerds in every sense of the word," she said.
But the community feel is often simpler than what can be found in amtgard.
Sometimes it's about a common conversation and vocabulary.
University of Kentucky student April Winebarger had an experience at summer camp that reminded her of the sci-fi community connections. She saw someone wear a shirt that said, "don't blink," a catch phrase from television's "Doctor Who." They immediately started talking about the show and had an instant friendship.
It was almost their own kind of language, she said.
This kind of connection seems to be happening everywhere.
Jonathan Sullivan, a student at Western Kentucky University from Elizabethtown, has found himself in random conversations among strangers who have a common interest. He was at a McDonalds in Florida and ran into a British family who asked him questions about his phone.
"It works as well as the TARDIS, every now and then it's pretty awesome and every now and then it's not," he answered.
They instantly knew the TARDIS reference and were surprised an American would talk about "Doctor Who."
But the commonality goes beyond a shared vocabulary.
Sci-fi enthusiast and collector Aaron Taylor said asking someone if they liked "Star Wars" was an icebreaker in school and was an instant in for social circles.
It's the same today. Taylor recently went to a 20th class reunion and found himself talking to the husband of a classmate, a doctor he didn't think he had much in common with professionally.
"But when I mentioned my Transformers collection and Megatron tattoo, we talked for half an hour like kids in elementary school," he said.
"It's not politics, sex or religion; it's fun to talk about," he said. "I've made many new friends just through the shows we watch and the toys we love."

Apple iTunes Store to stop selling NBC television showsApple on Friday afternoon issued a press release confirming that it will indeed halt sales of NBC television shows through its ubiquitous iTunes download service beginning with the upcoming television season.
The move, the company explained, follows NBCs decision to not renew its agreement with iTunes after Apple declined to pay more than double the wholesale price for each NBC TV episode, which would have resulted in the retail price to consumers increasing to $4.99 per episode from the current $1.99.
ABC, CBS, FOX and The CW, along with more than 50 cable networks, are signed up to sell TV shows from their upcoming season on iTunes at $1.99 per episode.
We are disappointed to see NBC leave iTunes because we would not agree to their dramatic price increase, said Eddy Cue, Apples vice president of iTunes. We hope they will change their minds and offer their TV shows to the tens of millions of iTunes customers.
Apples agreement with NBC ends in December. Since NBC would withdraw their shows in the middle of the television season, Apple has decided to not offer NBC TV shows for the upcoming television season beginning in September.
NBC supplied iTunes with three of its 10 best selling TV shows last season, accounting for 30 percent of iTunes TV show sales.
On Topic: iTunes
- No charges filed in alleged gun threat involving Apple's Dr. Dre
- Apple buys out cloud music provider Omnifone [u]
- Rapper Travis Scott confirms Apple Music deal ahead of new album release

"Located in an old west of Scotland town, hanging on to its once proud identity with its fingertips, 'Cloisters Bookshop' functions as an oasis of culture and quirky authenticity. The glorious gallimaufry of scenes, sketches and stories assembled here arise from, and are shaped by, the bookshop's valiant setting and rich characters. Differing thus from other contributors to the genre, this will make you both smile and sigh and ultimately dissuade you of the belief that it is only bookselling that goes on in a bookshop."

On the 11th June in 1488, two armies meet in battle at Sauchieburn, near Stirling. One fights for King James the Third of Scotland, the other is loyal to his eldest son, Prince James, Duke of Rothesay.
Soon, James the Third is dead, murdered as he flees the field. His army is routed. Among the dead is Sir Thomas Sempill of Ellestoun, Sheriff of Renfrew, whose son and heir, John, escapes with his life.
Once John's career as knight and courtier seemed assured. But with the death of his king, his situation is fragile. He's the only surviving son of the Sempill line and he's unmarried. If he hopes to survive, John must try and win favour with the new king.

text: AutoZone Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. AutoZone ( AZO) is another stock that's enjoying good relative strength, at least in the near-term. Shares of the $14 billion auto parts retailer have climbed close to 9% so far in 2013, besting the broad market's impressive performance by around 250 basis points. Now this Rocket Stock looks well positioned for even more upside. >>5 Dividends That Are About to Get Bigger AutoZone is the biggest after-market car part retailer in the country, with more than 5,000 stores in the U.S. and Mexico as well as a Brazilian pilot location. AutoZone also runs a lucrative commercial business, which provides parts to repair shops and service stations. While the margins aren't as deep for the commercial part supply business, the volumes are, and they enable AZO to take advantage of repair trends that extend beyond the do-it-yourselfers who stroll into one of the firm's stores. The record age of the average car on roads today is a big secular tailwind for AutoZone. As consumers need to spend more on maintenance to keep their cars driving, the firm should continue to enjoy increased parts spending. Exposure to Latin American markets is another major growth driver in the shorter-term. With rising analyst sentiment in shares, we're betting on this Rocket Stock this week. Prev 4 of 6 Next

Police: Man drove 101 in 55 mph zoneMarch 29,2014Police: Man
drove 101 mph
BENNINGTON A Cold Spring, N.Y., man is facing criminal charges after police said he drove 101 mph in a 55-mph zone in Shaftsbury.
Jay Philippi, 32, pleaded innocent Monday in Bennington District Court to misdemeanor charges of negligent driving and driving at excessive speeds. Philippi was released without bail.
In an affidavit, Trooper Justin Walker, of the Vermont State Police, said he was on patrol on Route 7 in Shaftsbury on Feb. 15 around 4:40 p.m. Walker said that the highway was slippery at the time because it was covered with snow and slush.
Walker said he noticed a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which Philippi is accused of driving, was going fast. He said he checked the speed by radar four times and noted the speeds registered were 101 mph, 101 mph, 100 mph and 96 mph.

The 210-foot cutter was on routine patrol in the eastern Pacific when it was directed to intercept a suspicious Panamanian fishing vessel that was spotted by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection P-3 aircraft in international waters about 140 miles offshore, the Coast Guard said.
$37 million
An Active boarding team found about 40 burlap sacks filled with an estimated $37 million worth of cocaine in the fishing vessel's cargo hold.
The contraband, fishing boat and five suspected smugglers were turned over to Panamanian authorities, according to the Alameda, Calif.-based 11th Coast Guard District.
"I am extremely proud of this crew," said Coast Guard Cmdr. Philip Crigler, Active's commanding officer.
"They have continually lived up to the cutter's nickname, the 'Li'l Tough Guy.' Through their tenacity, we have had great success on this patrol keeping illegal drugs from reaching the shores of the United States."
Last December, a Coast Guard helicopter launched from the Active used gunfire to stop a boat carrying 7,100 pounds of marijuana off the coast of Mexico.
That seizure occurred one week after an Active interceptor boat chased down another vessel being used to smuggle 5,000 pounds of marijuana off the coast of San Diego.

...I had the confidence that I could rise to the challenge. In middle school and high school, I took advanced mathematics courses at our local college (what a treat!). I took my first semester of calculus when I was in the 9th grade. I went on to graduate with highest honors with a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

...Having a good tutor that has been through the challenges in your classes will save you time and frustration. Understanding how each idea relates back to material that you do understand will make math and physics much less of a headache. Mathematics and physics are subjects I enjoyed in school and tutored in as well as being a teaching assistant.
