The IPIA promotes the interests and represents the views of the oil industry-particularly with regard to environmental, health and safety issues. The IPIA is recognised by Government as the representative body for the industry. The IPIA promotes the understanding by the public of the oil industry's contribution to economic, technological and social progress. The functions of the IPIA do not extend to any matters relating to the terms and conditions of sale of product.
IPIA members are delivering energy saving measures through their Enprova Better Energy Programme agreed with the Department of Communication, Energy and Natural Resources. This has the purpose of increasing the pace, scale and depth of sustainable energy investment by upgrading existing domestic, commercial and industrial buildings and facilities.
For the foreseeable future, about 60% of Ireland's energy requirement will come from oil – most of this being being through an infrastructure of independent Irish companies.
The IPIA works alongside other European petroleum interests through FuelsEurope. This included a campaign some years ago across 29 countries encouraging consumer to Save More Than Fuel by making small adjustments to their driving behaviour.

Appeal for talks with broader section of people's struggles in the forest and mineral belt
Aditya Nigam, Dilip Simeon, Jairus Banaji, Nivedita Menon, Rohini Hensman, Satya Sivaraman, Sumit Sarkar, Tanika Sarkar
In the light of the recent demands raised by sections of the intelligentsia urging the government to heed the CPI (Maoist) "offer of talks", we insist that "civil society" should rather, put pressure on the government to initiate talks with representatives of all struggling popular and adivasi organizations. The CPI (Maoist) cannot be treated as the sole spokesperson of all the people in the forest and mineral belt, convenient though this may be for the state and for that party. Does the government believe that violent insurgents are the only deserving interlocutors?
There is a common pattern to the emergence of Maoist violence in many areas. First a non-violent mass organisation like the PCAPA in West Bengal or Chasi Muliya Adivasi Sangh (CMAS) in Orissa arises in response to marginalisation, displacement or violence against tribals by the police and paramilitaries. Then the Maoists step in, attempting to take over the movement and giving it a violent turn. The state responds with even more violence, which is directed not only against the Maoists but also against unaffiliated adivasis. At this point, some adivasis join the Maoists in self-defence, their leaders like Chhatradhar Mahato, Lalmohan Tudu, Singanna are either arrested or gunned down in fake encounters and large numbers of unaffiliated adivasis are branded Maoists or Maoist sympathisers and arrested, killed or terrorised by the state. Clearly, Maoist violence in these cases obtains legitimacy because of the unbridled use of force by security forces and violations of the fundamental rights of the local people. On the other hand, the unilateral and doctrinal use of the language of warfare by one armed group obscures the political agency of the ordinary people who have had no say in this declaration. It also tramples on the human rights of the often desperately poor people who are obliged to seek a livelihood in organizations of the state. Furthermore, it is not clear that the CPI (Maoist) actually shares the rejection of this kind of "development" by the people of the area, or whether it only wants to wrest control of this process from the Indian state.
The counter-insurgency operations mounted by the central government in these areas has led to unprecedented bloodshed, massacres of civilian populations and rampant violations of constitutional rights in the area. The central government insists on treating the affected areas as a "war zone", and has shown little inclination towards tackling the huge backlog of tribal oppression that has created fertile ground for such violence. It is also true that whenever the government has conceded space, the conditions for this have been created by mass movements, not by the military actions of the CPI (Maoist). For example, the decision by the Ministry of Environment and Forests to put on hold the agreements with Vedanta and Posco in Orissa because of non-compliance with legal requirements for obtaining the consent of local adivasis, comes in the wake of sustained joint struggles by a range of political groupings.
We therefore urge all democratic sections to put pressure on the government to ensure that:
(1) Regardless of whether talks with the Maoists materialise, talks should immediately be initiated with those adivasis who are losing their land; and with representatives of the various mass-based organizations/mass movements, if necessary by securing their release from prison.
(2) round-the-clock security from attacks by both Maoists and state-sponsored groups and security personnel, is provided to these representatives and their families, as well as to witnesses in cases like the Gompad massacre and their families;
(3) the grievances voiced by these representatives be treated with the utmost seriousness and addressed as soon as possible.
Maoist violence flourishes in the foetid atmosphere provided by the destruction of the rule of law and rampant human rights abuses by the state. It is the task of the government to ensure that the rule of law is respected by all sides in the mineral and forest belt. If the rights of the adivasis to freedom of association and of expression, including the right to oppose current "development" policies, are respected, and crucially, if this dissent is taken into account by the government, Maoists will lose credibility. The party's violent methods, often designed to cause collateral damage, will lose the support it currently obtains among sections of the disaffected population in these areas.
taki permalinkMarch 3, 2010 7:20 AM
This statement, which is highly prejudiced and almost juvenile, expresses an unhealthy call for more "law and order" as a political solution. In other words, the signatories appear to believe that the state is, or ought to become, "an umpire" as Milton Friedman's famously put it (c.f., "government is essential both as a forum for determining the 'rules of the game' and as an umpire to interpret and enforce the rules decided on"). Accordingly, the signatories clearly assert that "[i]t is the task of the government to ensure that the rule of law is respected by all sides in the mineral and forest belt." Such a position is not
Moreover, this position is especially odd in view of the fact that a few sentences earlier the statement asserts that the principal factors
that forced the hand of MoEF were mass movements and a complex political alliance. If the signatories believe this premise, then a
more sensible course of action would have been to assert that the appropriate decision now is to adopt a new strategy that would intensify this mass movement in some fashion. But they do not explore this possibility. They appeal instead for "round-the-clock security from attacks by both Maoists and state-sponsored groups and security
personnel." Who do they think will enforce this particular demand? The CRPF?
Also, the claim that the state uses force only to resist the violence of the Naxalites is implausible, since it has been consistently using the police and para-military forces to suppress non-violent, Gandhian forms of protests (NBO, the anti-POSCO agitation and recently in Bhavnagar district in Gujarat) in many places.
Indranil permalinkMarch 3, 2010 12:25 PM
While I broadly agree with the spirit of the statement, the assertion that PCAPA was a "non-violent mass organisation" is misleading. The non violent adivasi organisation which had started the agitation against police atrocities in Lalgarh was Bharat Jakat Majhi Marwa Sangathan. After a prolonged protest its leaders had arrived at an agreement with the administration. This is when the Maoists stepped in via the PCAPA, under the leadership of Chatradhar Mahato. The BJMMS was sidelined and a blockade was enforced under PCAPA leadership. When the BJMMS protested against this PCAPA takeover, the Maoists killed its leader Sudhir Mandal on 11 December 2008. Chatradhar Mahato was not a tribal leader. He was a Trinamul Congress functionary.
The call to the Government to initiate dialogue with the adivasis and mass organisations working in the tribal areas is very apt. However, it would be better to specify whose "release from prison" is being specifically sought; since if it includes the likes of Chatradhar Mahato, who is self-admittedly a Maoist pointsman, the statement can be interpreted as the laying of pre-conditions for talks with the Maoists, which goes contrary to the other formulations of the statement.

"if this dissent is taken into account by the government, Maoists will lose credibility. The party's violent methods, often designed to cause collateral damage, will lose the support it currently obtains among sections of the disaffected population in these areas." Chidambaram are you listening? follow the instructions of this letter and you will contain the maoists in a non-military way.
the signatories all seem to be part of the 'how you can contain and crush maoists through non-military means' lobby? how you can incite and unite other tribal organisations to marginalise the maoists? by the way wasnt that the rationale behind salwa judum? that is, organise other tribals against maoists. but that was also the US policy in nepal – finish off the maoists, involve other civil society groups, organisations. a crucial part of the US counter-insurgency operations. keep it up, great work!
supriya permalinkMarch 4, 2010 11:18 AM
uday, i take your point that the signatories are following the salwa judum logic, in trying to mobilise non-Maoist tribal organisations in order to counter and marginalise the Maoists. but it seems to me that they are more anti-Maoist than anti-state since they are also appealing to the state to engage different organisations.
but what i am uncomfortable with is the underlying assumption of the signatories that the Maoists are just an armed band of thugs or something. even the Indian state does not seem to consistently think so… in fact Maoists in popular imagination remains honest and committed activists – for example, in the acclaimed hazar chaurasi ki maa. the signatories come across as viscereal civil society-kinds elitist do-gooders. but uday your larger point is not clear to me.
trevor selvam permalinkMarch 5, 2010 5:32 AM
Interesting indeed– the cant of the disenfranchised left! With NO RECORD whatsoever of any succesful progressive movement in their history, no organization that they have associated with that has built up any mass movement of any proportion that has had any significant impact on the GOI's neo-liberal rampage, and at the same time frequently appearing in Arnab Goswami's Foxtalk–these progressives choose to form another small club and want to be piggy-backed into the "negotiations." Of course they should be. The Maoists know very well they are only the initiators of an upsurge. they do not pretend to be the "chosen people." They have openly called for other progressives, patriots to be involved and so will Medha Patkar, Arundhuti Roy, Himangshu Kumar, Nandita Haksar and scores of other independent leaders who feel strongly enough to throw themselves in front of the ex-Enron lawyer's paramilitary Israel-equipped hordes… But these signatories to this letter only want to be sitting around the table when PCC finally decides to negotiate (He will have to.) Piggy-backers par excellence.. It is also interesting that Goswami waves their letter openly on his trash show, telling off the other intellectuals how they should heed this letter!
Anurag permalinkMarch 7, 2010 4:28 AM
I believe the RESPONSE to the appeal is missing a cue in the argument or deliberately trying to do so while trying to homogenize the Maoist violence with the local resistence. We know what their cowardly act in Lalgarh where they infiltrated into the mass uprising, then used the occasion to brandish their AK-47, issue "macho" statements like "ghush ke dikhao yahaan"….and then disappear into the forest when the Paramilitary came leaving the local people to bear the brunt of the state. Where the hell were they when the Indian State sent its COBRAS and GREYHOUNDS to shoot Sodhi Sambu??? You claim to be leading people into the "inevitable armed struggle", put them in the warfront… leave them and run away. How dare you still call it a People's War?? Are you protecting them from the JUDUM? Are you protecting them from Operation Greenhunt? NO….you are hiding in their jungles and watching the Judum burn, rape and kill them. If you call these academician's appeal as an act of Umpiring, then why should your RESPONSE be considered anything more than an ADVOCATE of the Maoist violence?
Please read and read carefully what the appeal says "It is the task of the government to ensure that the rule of law is respected by all sides in the mineral and forest belt. If the rights of the adivasis to freedom of association and of expression, including the right to oppose current "development" policies, are respected…." The signatories are not discussing the "essentiality of the government" as your Mr. Friedman puts it. Rather it is an obvious argument in their appeal that regardless of our reservations about the legitimacy of State, as of now there is an Indian State deriving its power from the Constitution, using (read ABUSING) it against its own people in the name of maintaining law and order. And how do you respond? You give its actions legitimacy through counter violence………and the corporate media plays your daredevil tapes over and over….until they convince people that unless "they are all killed, they will topple the Indian State by 2050" (Union Home Secretary,06 March 2010,THE HINDU).
Further, the jug headed interpretation of "providing the security" only revels the shallowness of the RESPONSE which does not even consider the possibility of more inclusive modalities of the security like the community police and people's vigilance groups that have proven effective in other instances like the riots in Gujrat . Even today some villages in India and Terai of Nepal have local people and State Security working together to keep the whole process transparent and effective. Argument is about remaining open to finding a solution to insecurity of the local people.….besides, even people of Jharkhand and Chhatisgarh pay for the food the CRPF eats and clothes they wear…the guns they carry….Why relieve them of their responsibility without holding them accountable???Hence, as an active member of the citizenry, the RESPONSE ought to be… "let us demand that as an organ of government responsible for security, the CRPF be made accountable for their security…." Well if one is only intending to make life easy for self then let CRPF get away with what they do…and what they DON'T DO.
Point well taken about movements like Narmada Bachao Andolan and anti-POSCO movements…..and it is for everybody to see how much the Indian State has been exposed and criticized for how they have dealt with these movements……but don't compare them with PCAPA, which was once a people's committee….but due to the Maoists infiltration, has been reduced to one of its outfits….and today everyone once associated with the group…those who subsequently distanced themselves due to the Maoists interference….are being harassed by Army and Judum for being Maoists…and by Maoists themselves for (possibly) being informants as they choose not to join them……
Just because the whole affair has different shades does not give anyone right to fish in the murky water and start making an unsubstantiated generalizations….for when they are subjected to public scrutiny of logic….they fall apart…Let it be known through this RESPONSE!

It is the task of this government to ensure that the rule of law is not followed in the mineral and forest belt. The rights of the adivasis to freedom of association and of expression, including the right to oppose current "development" policies, are not to be respected, that is the substance of Green Hunt. This appeal will fall on deaf ears. It would be better to focus on the systematic violation of its own laws by the state in the forest and mineral belt, and strengthen the voices of democratic mass organisations while demanding the end of Green Hunt. The Maoists are of course doing incalculable harm to democratic mass mobilisation with their foolhardy actions. Intellectuals and mass organisations need to relentlessly criticise the Maoists for this. Criticising one without the other would be unbalanced.
Joe permalinkMarch 9, 2010 4:59 PM
Even though one can generally agree with some of the issues raised in the statements ,some caveats.
If one raises the timing of this hurry-burry appeal and logical conclusions one can arrive at as to the intentions behind it, that cannot be completely ruled out. Especially so, when pronounced Marxists are also there among the signatories who unashamedly associated their names for a long time to all kinds of terror unleashed by their parliamentary left masters.While some others indulged in ever procrastination business of the never achievable revolution, despite being avowed champions of its verbiage. (in the process maligning all practicing movements in the world for not taking up their god Mr.Trotsky.)
On the other hand the problem with Maoists too is acute. Despite posing to be the radical champions of subaltern they are not only being radical enough, but are of the same genetic stock of their parliamentary counterparts and foes when it comes to the realm of culture. See, for instance the statement made by Amit Bhattacharya in Jnu campus on 7 Aug, sympathetic to the maoists. According to him a revolution in Lalgarh is festival of masses. Good!. But, it is like Dusserah where a Ravan's effigy is burnt by Ram bhakts,it seems. Excellent! See the ignorance of leftists on the vast corpus of literature on the polemics on Arya- dravida, north-south, dalit-brhamin issues.Even so-called ideologues are limiting themselves to the Brahmanical indoctrination of masses for years, cashed in on even by a BJP. With out settling scores radically in the realm of culture and history what are they up to? All this are despite the radical left posing to be subaltern and indulging in open self-criticism against Brahmanism.See how ignorant and apathetic these leftist scholars are (including CPM Brahmanism) shamelessly exhibiting even their casteists surnames to command intellectual authority. At least even a Mao attempted to demolish the Confucious feudal culture. It speaks for why their fraternal movement in Nepal on achieving limited success took a u-turn and unashamedly espoused openly national chauvinism and capitalism (unlike their CPM brothers who use revolutionary verbiage at least to hoodwink people). After all, one may tend to feel that, a V.T.Rajashekar was not absolutely wrong in dismissing all savarna led movements as bound to be reactionary in the end.
Upal Chakraborty permalinkMarch 9, 2010 3:39 PM
Let us not lose sight of the following:
1. Maoism is not a legitimate "mass movement". As someone described above, ther job is limited to indulge in terrorist violence and conveniently escape into jungles letting the masses bear the brunt.
2. They aim to gain Political Power through individual acts of heroism and terrorism, i.e., through cadre-based LTTE/Che Guevara-type of actions rather than concerted mass movements. Am not against violence, but only when democratic means are exhausted, which is invariably the situation when the masses are on the verge of capturing power from the bourgeois through legitimate means. Till then, violence is not only counter productive but results in a bureaucratic and oppressive Stalinst apparatus capturing Power.
As independent Human Rights activists , Aditya and company are justified in calling the Government to withdraw its coercive forces and negotiate with people's representatives. Please note the excerpt : "We insist that "civil society" should rather, put pressure on the government to initiate talks with representatives of all struggling popular and adivasi organizations" which does not preclude talks with Maoists if they are the genuine people's representatives as I would imagine , to a large extent, in Chattisgarh but defintely not in Jharkhand , Andhra or West Bengal.

Knock-Out Whist
This page is mainly based on a description contributed by Nick Wedd
This is a simple plain-trick game, suitable for children. It seems to be played mostly in Britain, and is often called by the alternative name Trumps. A session consists of seven hands, of diminishing size.
Players and Cards
Any number from two to seven may play. A standard 52-card pack is used, with four suits ranking from high to low A K Q J 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2.
A player is selected to deal, and deals seven cards each, clockwise. The uppermost of the undealt cards is turned face upwards to indicate the trump suit.
The player on dealer's left leads to the first trick. Players must follow suit if they can, otherwise they may play any card. Each trick is won by the highest trump in it; otherwise by the highest card of the suit led. The winner of a trick leads to the next trick.
After the first hand, a second hand is dealt by the next player in order around the table, with only six cards each. The game continues like this, with one fewer card per player on each hand, until the final hand consists of one card each.
The winner of most tricks on a hand chooses the trump suit on the next hand. If there is a tie for who took most tricks, the players involved in the tie cut cards for the right to choose trumps.
The Knockout
A player who takes no tricks at all in a hand is knocked out, is dealt no more cards, and takes no further part in the game.
There is one exception to the rule about being knocked out: the first player during the game who takes no tricks on a hand is not knocked out immediately but is awarded the "dog's life". On the following hand, she is dealt just one card, and may decide on which trick to play it. In the course of the play, a player "on a dog's life" may, when it is her turn to play, either play her card or knock on the table to indicate that she wishes to keep it for a later trick. If she is the player on the dealer's left, she is not compelled to lead her card to the first trick; she may either do so, or knock, allowing the next player to lead.
If two or more players take no tricks on the same deal, no one having previously used the dog's life, these players get one dog's life each. Apart from this case, there is only one dog's life available during the game. Players who take no tricks in later deals are eliminated immediately.
If a player on a dog's life manages to take a trick with her card, the player on her left leads to the next trick, and the dog's life player is dealt a normal hand on the next deal, and treated like the other surviving players. If the dog's life player doesn't manage to win a trick, she is knocked out of the game, like anyone else who takes no trick.
Since the right to lead to the first trick is an advantage, it is fair for everyone in turn to have this opportunity. Therefore, if the player to dealer's left is knocked out, this player should deal the next hand before leaving the game. This way the player to the left of the one who was knocked out is not deprived of the chance to play the first card of the next hand.
Winning the Game
The game is won by the winner of the one trick on the final hand. Or if all but one of the players are knocked out before this, the surviving player is the winner.
Advice on Skilful Play
In choosing trumps, always choose the longest suit. From
Clubs 6
Spades K Q
Hearts 6 5 4
make hearts trumps.
In choosing between suits of the same length, do not choose a suit with very high cards in it, as these may well win tricks even if they are not trumps. From
Clubs A Q
Spades 8 6
Hearts 4
make spades trumps.

PHOENIX / FARMINGTON, NM (KKCO) -- Both the Wildcats and Tigers improved to 4-0 on the season with road wins on Thursday, while Central lost a heartbreaker in Phoenix.
Once again, Fruita Monument trailed late in the game and managed to come back for a 7-5 win, this time in the first round of the Piedra Vista Invitational over Los Alamos (NM).
The Hilltoppers led 4-3 in the sixth, but FMHS (4-0) tied the game on a wild pitch and then took the lead on a Dallin Wright sacrifice fly. Doran Wood got the win in relief and Matt Scofield got the save. Shai Fullmer did not factor in the decision after going 5 and 2/3 innings.
The Wildcats will play Farmington (NM) on Friday at 2 p.m. in the semi-finals.
Down in Phoenix, Grand Junction also advanced to 4-0 with a 10-3 win over Desert Ridge (AZ). It was the first win away from home for Kyle Rush's team.
Central suffered its first loss of the season on a walk-off single. The Warriors (3-1) weren't able to give Tanner Reid much help as the senior went 6 and 1/3 innings giving up just the two runs on seven hits.

Oregon City Council on Monday will consider an application for a Special Use Exception (SUE) in an A-1 Agricultural District so that Verizon Wireless can install a new telecommunication tower at 5841 Cedar Point Road.
The applicant is Nathan Meyer of Verizon Wireless for owner Becky Lumbrezer-Box of Toledo Alfalfa Mills, Inc.
The zoning is mostly agricultural around the site with some C-2 zoning on the corner.
Meyer said at a Planning Commission meeting in October that Verizon Wireless is looking for improved coverage in the area based on customer demand for the use of voice calls and data. People are increasingly abandoning their land lines in favor of using mobile phones for communication, he said.
Despite a drop in coal and iron ore exports, the number of vessels currently in the Great Lakes -Seaway system is exceeding the five-year average as producers make a final push to export grain before the St. Lawrence Seaway closes Dec. 30.
Stephen Brooks, President of the Chamber of Marine Commerce, calls the 2015 shipping season a "bellwether for North American economic trends."
"Ships are delivering cement, stone, gypsum aluminum and machinery to support an eight-year high in U.S. construction spending, along with growth in the automotive sector in Great Lake states.
However, steep declines in global consumption and pricing have largely halted coal and iron ore exports via the waterway, he added.
Oregon City Council on Monday approved ordinances as part of the relocation of Cedar Point and Dupont roads.
The city started working on the $8.9 million project with BP Husky in 2013. The project consists of two parts: Relocating a portion of Cedar Point Road approximately one quarter mile south of its current location, and relocating a portion of Dupont Road approximately one quarter mile east of its current location, both of which are located between Wynn and Otter Creek roads.
The purpose of the project is to allow BP Husky to move non-essential refining activities and personnel away from the center of refining activity without having to cross major traffic routes. Included in the project is the installation of 12" to 24" sanitary sewer along the west side of Wynn Road from Eagles Landing Drive to just south of Wynnscape Drive to meet current and future needs for sanitary sewer service.
A sheriff's auction of the former Woodville Mall site is planned for Dec. 31.
Northwood City Administrator Bob Anderson said the minimum bid will be $200,000, or two-thirds of the assessed value of approximately $300,000.
"I don't expect anyone to bid, really," he said. "All the taxes would have to be paid first. There's a lot of taxes and assessments due on the mall. If nobody bids, we might."
If there are no takers, a second sheriff's auction might be scheduled or the court could order an auditor's sale, which would not require a minimum bid, said Anderson.
A coalition of environmental groups has vowed to continue opposing the Davis-Besse power station after the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's decision last week to renew the station's operating license for another 20 years.
The renewed license authorizes the plant to operate through April 22, 2037. First Energy Nuclear Operating Co. filed an application in 2010 for renewal. The plant's original license was set to expire in April 2017.
The NRC issued a safety evaluation report in September 2013 followed by a supplement in August of this year. A supplemental environmental impact statement was issued in April.

Been watching it for some time now as it steps down from world demand. Chart tells me it's time to buy when the mule has taken it's beating. Copper is down for sure, copper won't stay down for sure. When is the question? Supply raw stock on the floors is low, most likely will continue a low inventory turn over until demand turns upward. Still paying a dividend, at a cheap price. Placed an open limit order for $26.70 on a market downturn. Call me a bargain hunter adding up as the world demand unlocks it grip on copper. The four country pacific trade alliance will break down some trade barriers opening up opportunity for SCCO.

Just buy it, tuck it away and enjoy the divvys. I bought it years ago and have never sold a share. (even when it hit $130)

Official Sightseeing Tours from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and London
Another event borrowed from the Gael is the ceilidh, pronounced "kay-lay". Literally meaning a visit, the word has come to mean not just a gathering in a house for the purposes of song and storytelling, but now any Scottish musical entertainment.
During the Summer months several hotels arrange Scottish evenings which allow the visitor to taste Scottish fare and enjoy the national music and dance. At weddings and gatherings, it is still tradition to wear the kilt and to include a ceilidh band and Scottish country dancing.
Scots culture also includes a strong tradition of poetry and folk music which includes both farming songs, often called bothy ballads and work songs relating to spinning, whaling, fishing and other trades.
The Border ballads, of impressive power and dramatic imagery, are yet another traditional music (or literary) category, stemming from the centuries of warfare and raiding along the Scottish-English border.
Today Scotland continues to have a major influence in both classical and popular music and its own national ballet, opera and orchestra. Traditional folk, fiddle and jazz music can often be heard in pubs and wine bars - check locally for listings.
Between May and September, a programme of Highland Games and Gatherings is held across Scotland. It is said these Games owe their origins to tests of strength and skill set by Highland chiefs recruiting for their personal entourage. The Games were later promoted and updated by various "Caledonian Societies" which were founded in the 19th century. Today they provide a unique mix of athletic skills, in such events as tossing the caber (pronounced kay-ber meaning, literally a pole) and throwing the hammer, together with displays of pipe bands and Highland dancing.

Avoid Buying a Flood-Damaged Car
Consumers may want to add hurricane damage to the list of things to look for when purchasing a used car. Of the approximately 2 million vehicles in the Gulf Coast region, it's estimated that 250,000 to 500,000 automobiles were severely damaged by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. It's unclear how many of these flood-damaged cars could potentially end up being repaired and resold throughout the U.S.
Vehicles that have been under water can have serious mechanical or electrical problems that may not be immediately evident. Unscrupulous sellers may attempt to erase the physical evidence of flood damage or hide a car's flood history by moving it through a state that doesn't require this information to be recorded on the title.
According to CARFAX, there are a number of things consumers can look for to avoid buying a waterlogged vehicle unknowingly:
- Inspect the interior: Check the trunk, glove compartment and other storage areas, dashboard and underneath the seats for signs of sand, mud, moisture or rust. Check for frayed or cracked wires underneath the dashboard, and make sure all the gauges work.
- Examine the interior fabric: Look closely at the upholstery and carpeting — if it doesn't match the interior or fit properly, it may have been replaced. Discolored, faded or stained fabric may indicate water damage.
- Test electrical components: Test the interior and exterior lights, windshield wipers, turn signals, stereo, windows, mirrors, seats and cigarette lighter.
- Try the heater and air conditioner: Make sure both the heater and air conditioner work. While the A/C is on, check for musty odors.
- Have the car inspected: Visit a trusted mechanic for an inspection before you purchase any vehicle

old educational game on the apple II?
I'm trying to find an old Apple II educational game we used to play in school in the early to mid-eighties. Played in a first-person perspective, it involved puzzles that you had to solve in order to advance from room to room. I remember there being a wine cellar at one point, but not much more than that. I've looked in the Internet Archive and Wikipedia's lists of games, to no avail. This has been driving me nuts for years - any help would be appreciated!

The White House is asking networks to break into soaps for the president later today. Stay tuned.
Posted at 11:09 AM
Mod update: ABC banner
Why should you care any more about what charlatan Savage thinks than you do Alec Baldwin or Martin Sheen?
They have equal credibility when it comes to evaluating the President. They're all actors who despise a man of character......and are on the edge of insanity themselves.
What conservative cares what ANY of them think?
Just got back...has anyone posted W's speech? I just read it at the WH web site.
Most people are at work
By the time the MSM gets done letting the dem spokesmen get they shots out on prime time news you won't recognize the speech as the one we watched this afternoon
The GOP out to put up a REAL bitch if they don't get to give their views also
I am kind of close to both the stage and the pulpit, so I have a sensitivity to presentation. I am not much good at it myself, but I do appreciate the opinions of pros on delivery.
Channel 4 News at 5:00 out of NY spent about 30 seconds on coverage of the speech, so quick I missed most of it
Iraq was invaded. So was Afghanistan, and that should have been a declared war, too, but my comments were toward the invasion of Iraq and were made at the time.
The speech was carried on radio only in Los Angeles. Thank you, KNX-AM 1070 on your dial. No non-cable networks, nor the local Fox affiliate. KFWB radio cut away after 10 minutes or so.
IMO, the speech should have been watched in all school classrooms and I'll bet not one school here showed it to the students. I know it wasn't carried on the LAUSD channel as it should have been.
Somehow, following the War on Terror, which benefits not only all Americans but all who RESIDE in America and in the free world ... has become an esoteric occupation.
That is not right!
And what about evaluating it yourself?
Michael Savage's opinion means absolutely nothing.
And there is something fundamentally unbalanced in the priorities of anyone who still cares that President Bush isn't a smooth talker (like actor Ronald Reagan or slick liar Clinton) to the point of missing the enormous weight of what he says.
Read the text of his speech, Whale. And think for yourself about what he really said.
I know you weren't listening while he was talking anyway............and now you're waiting to evaluate his 'delivery' based on an insane phony??
I'm beginning to think there's something seriously wrong with you....
Amazing. It was a great speech, not only because the President was strong on defending Guantanamo but in the way he did it.
Had you already concluded that you as 'the base' would be dissatisfied with the speech?
Yes, I would have been dissatisfied with the speech, if he had said something like what Minus_The_Bear posted. (which he, the President, did not say anything like that) I must ask though, if he had said something like that, then what true conservative wouldn't be dissatisfied with the speech?
Had you already concluded that there would be no 'red meat' in the President's words?
Had you already concluded that this would be a 'read my lips' betrayal by the President, thus agreeing with Minus' silly post?
I would have agreed with that assessment, if the President had said something like what Minus_The_Bear posted. And please remember, that this wasn't some made up headline. The headline as Minus_The_Bear posted is what ABC News was reporting at the time, although now of course, they have changed it to reflect the actual content of the President's speech. The original story was based on "inside sources" (that were obviously wrong), but, despite the blunders the media have made lately, they do get some "inside scoops" right sometimes. And indeed, my post was not implying either opinion. (see below)
You can be honest even though it might be embarrassing now that you know what the President actually said. Why don't you tell me what you meant by this non-condemnation.....
I already told you in Post 784. Quote from me, "That if it were true, then the base wouldn't like it at all." Emphasis added for clarity.
As I said in that post, if one gives the benefit of the doubt to the poster in question (me), and doesn't automatically assume someone on a conservative site is a leftist with an agenda (which you appear to be assuming), then that implication is clear.
There's nothing in the sentence, "Hmm, not exactly the red meat the base was looking for." that says it is definitely what the President would say. At most, it's only a comment that, IF he said it, it would "not be the red meat the base was looking for".
That is, unless one assumes that the poster in question (me)is a leftist. But I don't think, in the nearly 5 years I've been on this site, that I've given any indication, to a non-biased person, that I'm a leftist. I'm not a leftist. I voted for Bush twice. I believe in limited government and taxes. Social security should be reformed. The government has no business in education, nor in universal healthcare. Sure I disagree with the President on some issues (and I'm allowed to disagree with him, and still be a conservative), but the WOT is not one of them.
I don't expect anyone here to know me well enough to know these facts about me offhand, but a look at my history over even the last month should show that. Or, as I've stated all along, simply assuming that someone on a conservative website is actually a conservative, instead of a leftist troll, would probably be a good idea too.
I can guarantee you though, you're on a witch hunt here, and I'm no witch. I honestly don't see how, if one takes the time to at least research my posting history, how one can continue to assume that my comment was meant to be anything derogatory. In fact, since the President didn't say anything like the post I was commenting on, there's no way my post was derogatory. If anything is to be read into my original post at all (and I'm not saying that anything should be read into it, in fact, nothing should, but if one must), it was a criticism of Minus_The_Bear's post, the implication being that Bush would never say anything like that. You do realize that that's a potential interpetation of my post too, don't you?
Now if you must, run with that "potential interpretation" phrase. Say I've "admitted that your interpretation of my post is a potential interpretation too", and that will be "proof" of me being a liberal plant or something. Like I implied earlier, look for witches elsewhere, there aren't any here.
Substance was zilch as far as the war is concerned. He shouldn't be battling internal foes during a war. He is adjusting policy to conform to legal opinion. He is also making a demand from Congress that won't be met. That's the substance. I think his tone was harsh.
btw, I never said anything about your being a leftist. I never assumed that.
I figured you were a 'purist' who jumped on MSM biased articles to criticize the President because you thought they were true. It happens all the time around here with fringers who think they're better than the President.
That's all.
btw, the real base (i.e. folks like me) were thrilled with this speech.
I'm sure Minus was gravely disappointed because he can't honestly bash the President for it. His 'read my lips' speculation looks even more ridiculous after the speech than it did before.
There are a couple of hundred posters, and probably far more than that who are lurking who strongly disagree with you.
I'll bet phony insane actor Savage will back you up, though, so buck up. You won't be completely alone in missing the entire point of the speech.....
(Don't you hate it when the President gets 'harsh' with terrorists? It's such bad acting.......)
Pres was harsh with Congressmen and MSM. This had nothing to do with terrorists.
You have a problem with the President being 'harsh' with Congress and the MSM?
(Don't you think he was a bit testy with the guys who brought down the WTC too? Or did you just happen to miss that part of the speech. OH, never mind. You missed the WHOLE speech, didn't you? That's why you're waiting for charlatan Savage's opinion....)
Not concerned with aesthetics except as to the intended effect. Was the delivery professional or not?
It was a strong message from the Leader of the Free World, and one of the only people in that world strong enough to wage the necessary war against terrorists who are trying to destroy us.
Unless, of course, you think it's 'unprofessional' to come close to tears among those who have lost loved ones in a brutal attack on America.
He did that today, so you might think he needs acting lessons.
One of many outrageous crapolas coming out of that group that's actually supporting the terrorist over our US troops. What a disgrace...to say the least.
I would love to see the democrats take over long enough to fail so badly even they couldn't deny it.
They have already proved it in many cities across America. They will never admit failure, only a "need to do more."
I just finished watching it for myself and thought it was fabulous. Oh yea, Bush is not a smooth talker and he flubbed his lines. Big dang woop. Anybody who focuses on that is an imbecile. What he said was substative, and incredibly passionate. He knows what he's talking about and believes every word he says.
This man has more concern for this country and the American people than bj-pervert-in-chief EVER had in his fat little pinkie.
I love GW!!! Thank God he is president. No wonder liberals hate him. He is everything they're NOT.
"Pres was harsh with Congressmen and MSM."
Have you seen what the Democrats in Congress and the MSM are saying about Bush's speech? Who's being harsh? And this is exactly the same thing they've been doing every day for years.
Outstanding job Ohio! ;*)
C-Span finally updated their TV schedule for this evening.
They will re-broadcast the President's AWESOME speech from today at 10:52 PM EDT tonight:
Additionally, Katie Couric will include snippets of her interview with President Bush tonight curing CBS' 911 Special at 10 PM EDT.
Geesh, why not give these fabulous speeches during prime time, the best he can across the eastern, central, mountain and Pacific time zones?
President Bush is energized by talking to People, not TV cameras. Remember how stiff he was years ago when he sat at his Oval Office desk or stood at a podium in a hallway of the White House, to deliver important prime-time messages. So many viewers who were not his voters, saw little to recommend him (and thus his words) to them.
A venue like today, in a room packed with involved people, brings all his passion into view. His team have obviously decided that this packs more punch than the deer-in-the-headlights-teleprompter-reader look.
(I especially like the 'Big dang woop' part. ;)
During Ronald Reagan's second term none other than William F Buckley dismissed him (Reagan) as nothing more than an "SPEECH READER IN CHIEF" . . . According to Buckley, Reagan (the actor) had the FORM but lacked the SUBSTANCE. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
[NOTE: The uber conservatives turned on Reagan during his second term just an several are doing with GWB now! It didn't matter to Reagan's eventual legacy and it won't matter to Bush's.]
It is the quintessence of shallowness, IMO.
I can't believe it's even brought up on a forum like this.....
It gets tiring dealing with it, doesn't it?
Right on jackv!!! Mega dittos!
Questions I have asked myself! (as you well know ;*)) It boggles the mind that one elevates delivery over substance.
.but some guy that is on Fox just characterized this as "Bush has passed the buck"...
I'm just catching up on this thread now. Do you remember if the Fox idiot who made the above remark was a staffer or a guest? That has to be one of the dumbest things ever voiced on that channel.
It was a guest that was later identified as Joe Reeder, an ex-Clintonista!!
Never thought much of Buckley. Lots of words, big vocabulary, liked to go sailing, early conservative magazine. Maybe it was the air of aristocracy.
It's not like it's a secret.
People believe what they want to believe, and no matter what President Bush and his team actually do, his detractors, especially the media, continue to willfully NOT study the man or watch what he does. I call them self-hypnotists.
So Katie will have President Bush on her Special, but did she allot any of her precious 22 minutes to his speech today? Himself speaking, not some commentator telling us what he said, what he neglected to say, or what he meant to say!
Thanks, first time I've come across that name is on this thread.
" "Bush didn't "pass the buck", but he did pass the ball back into the legislature's court, where the Supremes told him the ball should be. .."
Russert and Williams decried the timing tonight.
Why now...? Why not a month ago or the day after the elections ..????
Then they and David Gregory sniffed that it was all political.
I just checked the cspan schedule and the speech now is listed as starting at 11:13 pm. Steny Hoyer and Nancy Pelosi's presser will be shown four times on that channel, counting the LIVE performance this afternoon.
Poor babies. Maybe they can console each other in the MSM hottubs for whining liars, er, whatever they are called.
Thank you, Star...I'm still smiling. ;-)
I think it stems from a culture that watches way too much TV. And has come to expect life to be delivered in easy to understand sound-bytes with mistakes and mis-speaks ending up on the cutting room floor.
It is shallown, I absolutley agree. And childish, and demonstrates a real lack of being able to appreciate message over delivery style and difficulty in focusing..
I thought the President did well. It was a very long speech. Few here could even hope to do as well as the President did in reading a speech of that length in front of an audience and on national TV.

President Bush was Great! I thank God we have such a leader.
Good speech? Sure. Well delivered, authoritative, thick in detail.
Smart politics? Sure. Now McCain, Warner and Linds are on the hot seat with their Dems pals. Instead of whining about how we don't have room service for terrorists, they actually have to accept some responsibility for the fact war is hell and come clean about what they think is acceptable, and not acceptable. Then explain that to the people this year, and '08.
I can appreciate the value of what the President did, I just wish he wouldn't consistently do things like this once every two years. I'd rather it be consistent. We'll see what comes of this. On this issue I'm supporting the President, but McCain is often known for sabotage. No predictions.
I have no problem with Santorum!!!

By Ms Kari Hawkins ( Redstone)August 25, 2011
REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala.--Leadership in the workplace might involve technical knowledge, system know-how and group management. But the real key to successful leadership is the relationships that leaders build with the employees they lead.
"I've learned that there are certain things that are important as you go up through leadership training. But the most important thing I've learned is about building relationships," Sue Engelhardt, the director of human resources for the Corps of Engineers, said at a Civilian Education System basic leadership course offered by the Army Management Staff College at the Tom Bevill Conference Center on the University of Alabama-Huntsville campus.
Engelhardt, appointed to the senior executive service in May 2009, is responsible for the staff direction and administration of a comprehensive human resources management and family readiness program for 35,000 civilians and 500 servicemembers.
The executive told the 34 basic leadership students, who work either at a Redstone Arsenal organization or for the Corps of Engineers in Huntsville, that development of employee leadership skills is essential to the Army's and the Corps of Engineers' missions, and that formal education is part of that development.
"The Civilian Education System is a very, very important part of the development of our employees," she said. "Managers will say 'I can't just afford to let my employees go to class.' I tell them 'You can't afford not to let them go to class.'"
Information -- gleaned from class lessons, projects and exercises -- combined with networking opportunities provided by formal education create employee leaders who understand the leadership process, the styles of leadership, the interactions and collaborations of teams, and the ways to motivate and understand co-workers and subordinates.
Engelhardt, herself, has benefited from formal leadership education. In 1998, she was selected for the Defense Leadership and Management Program, which is a competitive, systematic program of "joint" civilian leadership training, education and development with the Department of Defense. Under that program, Engelhardt completed numerous graduate courses toward her master's in business administration. Additionally, Engelhardt was competitively selected for the DISA Executive Leadership and Development Program. She has received numerous achievement and honorary awards throughout her federal career, including the Federal Aviation Administration Office of Human Resource Management's Executive of the Year.
While formal classes offered by the Civilian Education System is the first step toward understanding and developing leadership, Engelhardt also said federal employees who want to be promoted into leadership positions should also seek out development assignments, participate in mentoring activities, and practice lifelong learning.
"Working in development assignments gives you experiences in working in other places, and they broaden your horizons," she said.
Development assignments stretch and grow technical and leadership competences, cause an employee to consider different organizational levels and functional areas, and show that an employee can take calculated risks and work outside their comfort zone.
By description, mentoring should be a voluntary relationship between two people, causing Engelhardt to question whether formal mentoring programs actually work. But, whether they are formal or voluntary, mentoring is worthwhile, even for leaders, she said.
"I learn more from the people I mentor than they can possibly learn from me," she said. "Forced mentoring is not beneficial. It should be that mentoring is just in the culture, that you want to mentor. There are pros and cons of formal mentoring programs. I think you should find your own mentors and also find those you can mentor because it's so important to give back."
Mentoring enhances career development, promotes opportunities for success and encourages building the Army's bench of leaders. Engelhardt added that today's younger generation expects to have mentoring relationships in the workplace, and that they look toward these relationships to help them learn from the experience of more mature employees.
"But mentoring is not going to help you with a promotion. It's to broaden your perspective on things," she said.
Fourth, lifelong learning should include individual development plans that reflect the employee's -- the future leader's -- desires to grow professionally and personally.
"The IDP should be on you. It should answer questions 'Where do I want to go?' and 'Where do I want to be when I grow up?' You need to think about where you want to be in your future," Engelhardt said.
Employees who have their own ideas about their individual development plans show they have initiative and ownership over their future, and, in the end, makes the supervisor's management responsibility easier to accomplish.
"Supervisors are busy people just like we all are," Engelhardt said. "They are going to need all the help they can get when you come in to talk about your IDP."
Before talking to supervisors about their individual development plan, employees should do their own self-assessment of their goals and aspirations, and review resources and opportunities for growth.
"It's really about what you are going to find for yourself," she said. "If you don't try, no one else is going to do it for you."
In her own career progression, Engelhardt, who has more than 25 years of experience in the human resources profession with the federal government that includes positions with the Navy, Army, Defense Logistics Agency, Defense Information Systems Agency and the Federal Aviation Administration, has had to develop from a human resources employee working on the operational/tactical level to a human resources leader who thinks strategically.
"I'm a strong doer. I believe in getting stuff done. I want to check off that to-do list," she said, adding that she has had to learn how to balance her "doer" side to being a leader who communicates a vision and provides a strategic path for employees.
"I think as leaders, as you move up in the organization, you're going to find that you will do more with relationships than with anything else," she said. "When you become a supervisor, you give up some of the technical. It's less technical and more about relationships and mentoring."
Some of the strategic issues that Engelhardt faces in her job include determining how to recruit smartly and how to retain employees, deciding how to operate amid budget and environment turbulence, working on ways to measure return on investment in employees, and deciding what actions need to be taken to engage employees and keep them motivated in the work environment.
Although managing people is a lot more challenging than managing projects, Engelhardt said it's "also the most rewarding thing, too, if you can make a difference and see others growing in leadership … I want to make more of a difference."

'Risque' Comedy 'Bad Teacher' Earns $31 Million Opening Weekend
The Cameron Diaz comedy "Bad Teacher" received high marks at the box office.
Despite receiving a C+ from Cinemascore, a marketing researching firm that gauges audience reactions, and decidedly mixed reviews (a 47% on Rotten Tomatoes), the R-rated movie exceeded expectations, earning $31 million from 3,049 venues, for a strong per-theater average of $10,167.
That's a grade above this year's comic blockbuster "Bridesmaids," which had a $26.2 million opening (and a $8,995 average), and in line with previous R-rated summer comedy hits, such as "Sex and the City 2″ ($31 million) "Knocked Up" ($30.7 million) and "Wedding Crashers" ($33.9 million).
How did distributor Sony turn what could have been just another average summer comedy—expected to make around $25 million, at best—into a top-of-the-class competitor?
"Sony executed a great marketing campaign with a hilarious trailer," said Hollywood.com Box Office President Paul Dergarabedian, "and picked a perfect release date that offered the film up as great counter-programming to the G-rated 'Cars 2.'"
According to Box Office Mojo's Brandon Gray, the film also had "a concept that was relatable, easily understood and topical," as well as a title that was "blunt and attention-getting, adding to the promise of outrageous comedy."
Sony spokesperson Steve Elzer commented in an email, "We had a lot to work with on this title. From the risque comedy and performances in the movie to the hard-working cast, who tirelessly promoted the film with extensive press schedules."
Sony's marketing team also built "heat and awareness while having a lot of fun with our campaign," continued Elzer, citing a National Teacher Appreciation Day initiative in which apples with "Post-It" notes that read "Eat Me" were sent to top radio DJs in key markets.
"Cameron [Diaz] especially was everywhere," he added, "from a tour of key European cities to radio and satellite interviews to a wide array of magazine covers." (The movie has also been successful overseas, with a worldwide purse so far of $$49.3 million.)
The film marks Diaz's most successful comedy opening in the U.S. (not counting the "Shrek" or "Charlie's Angels" franchises).
As expected, the film's audience skewed heavily towards women (63% of ticket-buyers were female) and older (57% were 25 and over).
"Bad Teacher's" initial success has had industry insiders buzzing all weekend about the new viability of crude, female-centered movies in the marketplace, following in the high-heeled footsteps of "Bridesmaids" (which has made nearly $150 million and currently ranks the 6th highest-grossing movie of 2011).
"It seems that raunchy R-rated comedy can't miss in the summer," said Dergarabedian.
But Box Office Mojo's Gray was more realistic about "Bad Teacher's" prospects. "'Bad Teacher' should burn out at a far more rapid rate than 'Bridesmaids,'" he said.

To whom it may concern,
I would like to report a major rip-off, a major scam that needs to be dealt with before many more gullible people like me be conned and robbed of money that we can ill afford to loose. This person/persons/company is very professional at ripping people off. The communication is all carried out by surface/air mail; no fax, no email address and no web site.
On one occasion by reading every detail carefully I managed to locate a telephone number. I have not succeeded in getting a reply. All letters, documents, forms, envelopes are very official looking. He/They always request that documents and the $20 be sent in the already stamped-addressed envelope which is supplied.
Since October 3rd 2005 I have received 30 letters and every one of them presented very plausable facts and very tempting assurances that huge sums of money are there ready to be delivered to my door as soon as I return the document with the $20! I humbly admit that I fell for this more than once or twice, so I am now admitting my naivete so that others will not be ripped-off. (Let me hasten to add - I did not respond to all 30 letters!!)
People/companies like this need to be caught and brought to justice. Perhaps this complaint will help to expedite the "busting" of such scams.

NEW: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA) Report for a Removal Action to address contaminated soil and groundwater at the Millsboro TCE Superfund Site located in Millsboro, Sussex County, Delaware. The EPA will hold a public meeting to discuss the proposed EE/CA on Wed., April 13, 2016, from 6-8pm at the Millsboro Town Hall, 322 Wilson Highway, Millsboro, DE 19966. For more information, please see EPA's public notice here. The EPA is also seeking public comment on the EE/CA from April 4 until May 4, 2016. For more information on the EE/CA and the site, please see EPA's fact sheet here.
UPDATE: The EPA continues its cleanup effort at the Standard Chlorine of Delaware Superfund Site, also known as the Metachem Site, located in New Castle County, Delaware. EPA has been cleaning up the site in four separate parts called "operable units" or OUs. The EPA will announce a proposed Record of Decision (ROD) Amendment for addressing off-site contaminated soils at the site. These off-site soils are referred to as Operable Unit 2 (OU-2). EPA held a public meeting Jan. 12 in Delaware City to discuss the OU-2 Proposed ROD Amendment with the plan available here. For more information on the proposed amendment, please see EPA Fact Sheet #22. More information on the Metachem site can be found here.
The Division of Waste & Hazardous Substances' Site Investigation and Restoration Section (SIRS) is responsible for the identification, evaluation and remediation of sites within the state of Delaware that had past releases of hazardous substances. The Section manages the hazardous substance release sites in Delaware in accordance with the Hazardous Substance Cleanup Act (HSCA). The SIRS Administrator is Tim Ratsep. He can be reached at 302-395-2600. The SIRS office address is 391 Lukens Drive, New Castle, DE 19720 (Map & Driving Directions).
Delaware enacted its Hazardous Substance Cleanup Act (HSCA) in 1990 to address sites potentially contaminated with hazardous substance releases in the state that would not be addressed under the federal superfund program. Three major programs are administered under HSCA. They are the Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP), the Brownfields Program, and the HSCA Enforcement program. We also have a Prospective Purchaser Agreement Program and an Application for that program is available.
The Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) has been developed to assist the responsible parties to voluntarily clean up properties contaminated by the release of hazardous substances. The benefit of participating in the VCP is that it can eliminate the need for costly litigation.
In July of 1995, HSCA was amended to encourage voluntary cleanup of sites and in 2001, enabling legislation that introduced brownfields was enacted. On August 3, 2004 the Brownfields Development Act was signed to extend certain liability protection to developers of properties that DNREC certifies as Brownfields in an effort to encourage development. The Brownfield program allows developers and prospective purchasers who did not contribute to the contamination on their site to clean up their site and not be liable for pre-existing contamination.
DNREC has made funds available for eligible activities related to environmental remediation and investigation as detailed in the Hazardous Substance Cleanup Act Policy on Brownfields Grants. Brownfields are defined as abandoned, vacant, or underused real property where development or redevelopment may be hindered by the reasonably held belief that the property may be environmentally contaminated. A study was recently conducted by the University of Delaware to quantify the significant economic benefit of the brownfields program. You may read more about the study in a press release written about it, and will also find the the brownfields study online.
The HSCA Enforcement program requires the responsible party to clean up sites contaminated with hazardous substances and allows DNREC to recover the costs from the responsible party in the event that DNREC must perform the cleanup. It also allows the use of the HSCA fund to cleanup sites where a viable responsible party is not identifiable.
SIRS conducts Natural Resource Damage Assessments and Restoration (NRDAR) with DNREC's Division of Fish & Wildlife, Division of Water, and various federal agencies including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) to restore habitat and recreation that was lost due to contamination.
SIRS assists EPA with oversight for CERCLA sites, including Preliminary Assessment/Site Inspection (PA/SI) and National Priorities List (NPL) sites. SIRS also provides oversight for active Department of Defense (DoD) sites and Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS).
SIRS Mission StatementThe mission of the Site Investigation and Restoration Section (SIRS) is to identify sites with releases of hazardous substances, prioritize them for cleanup based on the risk posed by these sites to public health, safety and the environment, and to promote the reuse of contaminated properties.
