Pocket-sized Bluetooth keyboard with touchpad and laser Pointer!
This tiny keyboard is perfect for times when you need to control your PC or mobile device (or blind someone) from across the room. Not only does it offer a 72-key QWERTY keyboard, but a tiny touchpad, and a new bonus not usually found on keyboards – a laser pointer. It's a veritable Swiss Army knife of Bluetooth mini keyboards – except there's no toothpick or bottle opener. Maybe next time.
The pocket-size keyboard is supposed to work from an unobstructed distance of 20 meters. It's supposed to be compatible with Windows, Mac OS, Linux, PS3, WinMo 5, Nokia Symbian S60 and above, and most Android phones. No word on whether or not you can use it with an iPad, though. Somebody out there needs to try that out and let us know if it does. As an added bonus, the mini keyboard also is backlit, so it's great for presentations or home theater use.
Mini Desktop Paper Shredder powered by USB!
Making things easier on the traveling home office worker is the USB paper shredder. This is the perfect device to ensure your confidential letters are securely disposed of when needed. Its size and letter opening function gives it that additional usefulness.

A robot vacuum cleaner uses advanced technology like sensors to get used to the environment and pick up all the dirt from the floor. It is very simple and quick in its operation. Pressing the 'on' button and setting the desired speed is enough for it to start its operation. It does not have any compartment for collecting the dust so the problem of clogging doesn't exist.

It works mainly on robotic intelligence. It stops its operation for a while when some living thing like a pet or a baby comes near it.

Pre-Order RIVER ROSE AND THE MAGICAL LULLABY Now!
RIVER ROSE AND THE MAGICAL LULLABY publishes in the US on October 4, 2016
New York, NY (February 9, 2016) – HarperCollins Publishers announced today the acquisition of Grammy Award winner Kelly Clarkson's first picture book, RIVER ROSE AND THE MAGICAL LULLABY, featuring an original lullaby written and performed by the international superstar. World rights were sold to David Linker, Executive Editor, HarperCollins Children's Books, from CAA.
RIVER ROSE AND THE MAGICAL LULLABY is an enchanting picture book that chronicles the night before an imaginative little girl's first trip to the zoo. River Rose is so excited to see the animals and ride the carousel that she can't fall asleep—until a magical lullaby from her mom sends her off on an amazing adventure. Soon River Rose is hopscotching with the hippos, slip-sliding with the penguins, and dancing with the big brown bears. It's a rollicking, rhyming tale from America's most beloved performer, recording star Kelly Clarkson. Join along on this bedtime journey, complete with an original lullaby that parents and kids are sure to love.
With adorable illustrations by Laura Hughes, RIVER ROSE AND THE MAGICAL LULLABY is the perfect story for bedtime or reading time.
"When kids read RIVER ROSE AND THE MAGICAL LULLABY my hope is that it inspires their imagination and reminds them that they should always follow their dreams – no matter where they lead," says Kelly Clarkson.
"The first time I heard Kelly talk about this project, I knew it was something special," says David Linker, Executive Editor, HarperCollins Children's Books. "Her passion for the story and musical ear for the rhythm and melody that make for great storytelling was evident from the very first draft. It's been a true labor of love."
Grammy Award winner Kelly Clarkson has released six studio albums (Thankful, Breakaway, My December, All I Ever Wanted, Stronger, Piece by Piece), one greatest hits album, and one holiday album, has sold over twenty-one million albums worldwide, and has had ten singles in the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. She is the recipient of three Grammy Awards, four American Music Awards, three MTV Video Music Awards, two Academy of Country Music Awards, and one CMA Award. Clarkson's sixth studio album, Piece by Piece, debuted at number one on Billboard's Top 200 chart, marking her third number-one debut on the chart. Piece by Piece garnered two 2016 Grammy nominations (Pop Vocal Album and Pop Solo Performance for her hit single "Heartbeat Song").
Clarkson's 2011 effort, Stronger, was certified platinum, won the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album, and produced the smash singles "Mr. Know It All" and "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)," which mark Kelly's ninth and tenth top ten hits. "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" was number one on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for two consecutive weeks (three weeks total) marking her third number one on the Hot 100 chart. In 2013, she released her very first Christmas album, Wrapped in Red, which debuted at number three and was the biggest holiday album debut for a female artist since 2010 and is certified platinum.

Comments about Hyland's Fevers & Inflammations, Belladonna 30X, Tablets, 250 ea:
I have heat headaches - when the air is so still and it is very hot and humid outside. From the products I have researched, this one fit the bill. My headache went away within 3 minutes and I felt immeasurably better. But an hour or so later I had a stomach ache and my headache came back. I still would recommend it for getting rid of headaches quickly.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

O'Keeffe, Stettheimer, Torr, Zorach: Women Modernists in New York examines the art and careers of four pioneering artists and their contributions to American modernism in parallel for the first time. Through this exhibition, the PMA invites visitors to explore works by some of the most significant modernists in American art history: Georgia O'Keeffe, Marguerite Thompson Zorach, Florine Stettheimer, and Helen Torr. In presenting works by these artists together and connecting their careers in New York City, this exhibition offers valuable perspectives on the meaning of modernism, the life of a working artist in New York in the early 20th century, and the shared and differing experiences of being women at a crucial moment in first-wave feminism.
When Jessica May arrived at the Portland Museum of Art as a new curator in 2012, one of the first things she did was seek out the museum's paintings by Tim Rollins and K.O.S.

- I can't say enough about how AMAZING the food was at our wedding (125 guests). We had the brisket, pork and chicken, along with the mac and cheese, grilled veggies, stuffed mushrooms and jalapeno cornbread. Everything was fantastic and we had so many guests come up to us telling us that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Even weeks after our wedding people are still talking about how great the food was. I would 100% recommend hiring Rocklands for your next event.
- K.B.(/div)Rocklands was a great caterer! The food was delicious and the Rocklands team was a pleasure to work with. Unlike other barbecue joints, Rocklands really does offer full service catering and has tasty options for vegetarians. They made everything really easy. -– JenWe used Rocklands Catering for our engagement party. They were first class all the way, from the tasting to the setup to the breakdown. When I normally think of Rocklands I think of BBQ, but their catering is SO MUCH MORE. They are a first class caterer, with outstanding service, friendly employees, and I would highly recommend them. Absolutely delicious food! Some of the best crab cakes I have ever had.
– BrianRocklands did an amazing job with our wedding. A huge storm hit DC the day before our wedding so our wedding site had no power. We had to move the reception to my husband's parents' house the day of the wedding. Rocklands had no problem with the change of location at the very last minute, and were incredibly flexible. We also asked Rocklands to create a specialty cocktail for us, and they were more than happy to (even though the cocktail recipe was pretty involved!).
– DianaWe had originally planned to use another caterer that is highly rated in the DC area. Our garden party/surprise wedding was supposed to be stress free and fun. They were incredibly high maintenance to work with and we figured if it was that difficult prior to the party, then it might be the same way the day of the party. My husband had said, "I love Rocklands. Wonder if they cater?" From that point on things got significantly more fun. Rocklands was incredible to work with, they made everything painless, and the day of the party was perfect. The staff was incredible. Top notch! The food was delicious, plenty was provided, and guests couldn't stop commenting how great it tasted. We will definitely use Rocklands again for future events. – HeidiThe BBQ was outstanding. Plenty of food and the jalapeño cornbread blew me away (in more ways than one!) – I think it was the best meal that our group had during their trip to Washington. Thank you for outstanding, friendly service.

In these experiments, kids learn two important things about the sense of taste.
First, in experiment 1, kids find out that chemicals from the food must first dissolve in saliva before food can be tasted. Once these chemicals are dissolved, receptors on our taste buds can identify the food.
In experiment 2, kids learn how our sense of smell helps us taste foods — yet another example of how our senses work together as a team to help us identify things. Without the nose, we may not be able to tell the difference between foods that have the same texture.
Check with parents before doing these experiments. You need to be sure that kids don't have food allergies.

BEIRUT - Hezbollah rejected an offer by Lebanese Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri for 10 of the 30 Cabinet posts in the new government.
The planned distribution, which Hariri submitted to President Michel Suleiman, gives 15 seats to the Western-backed parliamentary majority, 10 seats to Iranian-backed Hezbollah, and the remaining five seats to independents chosen by Suleiman.
Hezbollah supporter Michel Aoun said Hariri's proposed Cabinet distribution "shows that Mr. Saad Hariri does not want to form a Cabinet, but wants to pass time and play with the Cabinet according to his mood."
"If Hariri wants to create a new tradition, let him search for people other than us to form a Cabinet," Aoun said, according to Lebanese state-run National News Agency.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah's al-Manar satellite television station also denounced Hariri's Cabinet, saying his proposal "raises major question marks on the fate of a national unity government."
Hariri has been trying to form a government for more than two months.
On June 27, the day after Suleiman tasked Hariri with forming a unity coalition, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu warned that if Hezbollah became part of the Lebanese government, Lebanon would be held responsible for the terror group's actions.
"If Hezbollah joins the Lebanese government, then the Lebanese government is accepting responsibility for Hezbollah's actions, including its actions against Israel," the prime minister said.
Netanyahu restated Israel's position the following month.

Even though goalie Ilya Bryzgalov allowed five goals against the New York Rangers on Tuesday - his worst outing since Jan. 22 - the Flyers were encouraged by his return to the lineup.
"You couldn't fault him for any of the goals. I'm not concerned at all," general manager Paul Holmgren said Wednesday. "It's good he got a game behind him and now he can move forward."
Bryzgalov had missed the previous three games with a chip fracture of his right foot. He said he expected the rustiness he felt Tuesday after not playing in eight nights.
"We didn't help him too much. I think the majority of the goals were point-blank shots, and it's tough to make saves like that," winger Wayne Simmonds said. "You've got to have support from everyone on the ice."

The Sterotypical Questions i Always get
My name is Ehab Wassily, this is my first blog on this website, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I am a Christian Egyptian, and yes I still live in Egypt although I am a Christian. Of course being an Arab, and I think many Arabs will relate, we come across a hefty sum of questions that are so stereotypical that shows the great amount of misconceptions that people from the west have concerning the Middle East and Arabs. So here is a list of these questions and the answers.
Q: "Oh, you are an Arab, so you must be a Muslim, right?"
A: No, there are other religions here.
– It might come as a surprise to a lot of western people, but there are Christians and Catholics in Egypt, not only because I am an Arab then this automatically means I am a Muslim.
Q: "So, you ride a camel to go to work?"
A: No, we use some 4 wheeled machines; they are called "CARS".
– I get this question a lot, we are not nomads, we don't live in the desert, the only place where we ride camels is at the pyramids, and it's a kind of tourism. We don't use them for transportation, we actually have "ROADS" and we use "CARS" on these roads.
Q:"Where is your cave located?"
A: Nowhere, because we don't live in caves, nor tents.
– Egypt is not a big desert centered around the pyramids as a lot of movies show, the pyramids are just a tourism spot, but it is not the whole country. Therefore, we don't live in caves, believe it or not, we have buildings, houses and homes. Yes, there are areas where people live this way, like in Sinai, or in the desert, they live in tents because this is how they want to live.
Q: "You must know terrorists, or in fact, are you one"?
A: Hell no, Egypt and the Middle East is not a big terrorist training camp.
– Of course there are extremists, as there are extremists in any community, but that is a whole other topic, so I'll discuss it later.
Q: "So do you wear these white clothes with this thing wrapped around your head"?
A: No we wear this thing called Jeans, suits, oh yes, and shoes.
– Contrary to common belief, we wear normal clothes in Egypt, yes there are traditional clothes in some parts of the country, but the majority wears the same clothes you wear.
Q: "You must be working as a farmer or as a shepherd in the desert?"
A: NO, I am an Architect!!!
– We have farmers, we have shepherds just like any country, but we do have other jobs, we got doctors, teachers or as myself, I am an architect.
Such questions do not come from nowhere, it is due to the media and the misconceptions people have about us, but it is a whole other story, which will be the topic of the next post, the reasons for these misconceptions.

In the article, "Corticosteroid Metabolism in Liver Disease", by Drs. Harold Brown and Edwin Englert, Jr., published in the May 1961, issue of the Archives, editorial changes in the names of the drugs, dihydrocortisone for dihydrohydrocortisone and tetrahydrocortisone for tetrahydrohydrocortisone, caused Compound F to produce derivatives of Compound E instead of its own derivatives. The incorrect sentences should read as follows:
For example, hydrocortisone may be converted to cortisone, cortolone, dihydrohydrocortisone, and 11-β-hydroxy-androstenedione by fibroblasts.35
(Page 777, first column, first paragraph, beginning on line 22)
The first step in the liver is the reduction of hydrocortisone to dihydrohydrocortisone by a specific δ-hydrogenase in the soluble fraction of the liver cell with stereo specificity to the 5β isomer.43
(Page 777, second column, first paragraph, first sentence)
The next step is the reversible reduction of dihydrohydrocortisone to tetrahydrohydrocortisone by a relatively nonspecific 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in the soluble fraction of the

NEW YORK (AP) - Thanksgiving travelers scrambled to book earlier flights Tuesday to avoid a sprawling storm bearing down on the East Coast with a messy mix of snow, rain and wind that threatened to snarl one of the busiest travel days of the year and ground giant balloon versions of Snoopy and SpongeBob SquarePants in the Macy's parade.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Stung by plunging approval numbers at a low point in his presidency, President Barack Obama is urging donors to buck up and making a thread-the-needle appeal for bipartisanship with Republicans even as he calls for replacing the House GOP majority and holding his Democratic edge in the Senate.
SAN ANTONIO OFFICER ACCUSED OF RAPE IN POLICE CAR: SAN ANTONIO (AP) - A San Antonio police officer is accused of handcuffing and raping a 19-year-old woman in a case decried by the police chief, who calls it "unthinkable."

NY Times: Your dad was manlier than you. His dad was manlier than him. And so on, for all of history back to the Stone Age.
I'm thrilled with technology, the Enlightenment and feminism. But with all those improvements we lost a little self-reliance, some ability to protect – some manliness. And no matter how many hoodied nerds become masters of the virtual universe, without manliness we're going to die as a species. Because being a nerd will never get you any action.
Sure, you could be progressive and buy your son a doll. But he'll thank you if you're more old school and teach him to hunt.
When a pipe broke at Pete's party on "Mad Men," and Don Draper ripped off his shirt like Superman and fixed the sink in his undershirt, no guy watching that show got lucky that night, since every one of us is a metrosexual liberal who immediately calls the plumber. It was the meanest thing any broadcast has done to its own audience since Orson Welles's "War of the Worlds."
I got messed up by my feminist mom in the 1970s, who taught me that gender was a social construct. I can't believe that social experiment went on as long as it did, since it's clear by month six of having a child that William does not want a doll. Ladies do go first. We are not free to be you and me.

Teams have become much more complex in the past 10 years. In the past, a team would be comprised of similar individuals in the same location driving on a fairly stable course towards its objectives. These tenets are no longer true. Trends are driving the need for more flexible, highly skilled teams. This leads to the following challenges:
This web seminar presents real-world practical tips for leaders of complex teams. The course will present learners with the concept of team development. By understanding the stages of team development, we as leaders can identify those tasks which are most critical to team alignment and collaboration in order to ultimately achieve successful outcomes.
This course will be taught by one of the following instructors:

Online Annual Meetings Begin to Click
No investors raised their hands to grill the top brass during this year's annual meeting at Herman Miller Inc., MLHR 0.53 % nor buttonholed board members after it ended.
That's because the Oct. 10 session occurred solely in cyberspace—for the fifth straight year. The furniture maker stopped holding its annual meetings at pricey hotels in order to "reach a broader shareholder base" and save money, says Jeff Stutz, treasurer and vice president of investor relations at Herman Miller.
Since December 2009, 25 public companies have conducted at least one annual meeting only online, reports Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc., BR 0.93 % a major provider of such services.
Those with annual "e-meetings" included Warner Music Group Corp., Applied Minerals Inc. and Nutrisystem Inc. NTRI 0.44 %
But some critics challenge the value of sacrificing face-to-face accountability just to gain occasional increased participation, and lament the loss of personal interaction with executives and directors.
During the meetings, investors—who log into a website through a 12-digit control number linked to their brokerage accounts—vote and pose questions electronically. Some e-meetings are audio only; others include a video component where investors can see executives seated at a conference table. But few companies post investor queries online so other shareholders see what gets asked. Instead, officials running virtual meetings view posted questions and decide which to answer.
"You need to have give-and-take between shareholders and the board," says Glyn A. Holton, executive director of U.S. Proxy Exchange.

Last year, after Symantec Corp. SYMC 0.24 % became the first Fortune 500 company to decide to hold a virtual annual meeting, the investor advocacy group waged a letter-writing campaign against the computer-security concern.
We didn't want to deprive shareholders from participating at a physical annual meeting, says Anne Sheehan, head of corporate governance for the California State Teachers' Retirement System, a big public pension fund that joined the Symantec protest. Virtual meetings only make sense when investors take part "as fully as if they were there in person," Ms. Sheehan adds.
Symantec had embraced e-meetings because "an information-technology company should be leading the way toward most cost-effective solutions," says Robert S. "Steve" Miller, a Symantec board member. Directors agreed the idea would also "improve access by shareholders not in the area," adds Mr. Miller, the independent lead director until last month.
The September 2010 online session attracted 31 shareholders, up from only a handful at live meetings during the prior decade. "We historically have had in the range of four to six shareholders show up," then Chairman John W. Thompson said during the virtual meeting.
But stockholder Larry Dohrs, vice president of Newground Social Investment, was dismayed by what he thought was a low-tech performance during the e-meeting. He says he couldn't view submitted questions and officials toned down his query challenging cyberspace sessions. A Symantec spokeswoman declined to comment.
Symantec abandoned the virtual-only approach after just one meeting. The board didn't want to "go to war over this" because some investors preferred to look members in the eye at annual meetings, Mr. Miller says.
Just three non-employee stockholders showed up for this year's meeting, held Oct. 25 at Symantec's headquarters in Mountain View, Calif.
Before its 2007 switch, Herman Miller says it made sure major investors approved of virtual meetings. "We spoke with most of the top 10 shareholders," and none opposed the idea, says Mark Schurman, a company spokesman.
But the furniture manufacturer hasn't seen the expected surge in participation from the altered format. Only six investors not employed by Herman Miller attended the 15-minute online session this fall, matching the high point reached last year.
Still, the latest meeting's $3,000 cost was far less than the typical tab of $10,000 to $15,000 for in-person meetings between 2001 and 2006, Mr. Schurman says.
Even some critics expect virtual meetings to spread further if concerns offer certain safeguards. Mr. Holton of the U.S. Proxy Exchange, for instance, favors an electronic display of submitted questions so investors can endorse questions they want management to answer.
Broadridge will enhance its virtual-meeting service next year to let corporate clients display unfiltered questions, says Chuck Callan, its chief regulatory officer. (At typical live meetings, companies allow a brief question period during which officials recognize investors' raised hands.)
"We could see 100 companies do virtual meetings within five years," predicts Broc Romanek, editor of TheCorporateCounsel.net, an online newsletter which covers corporate governance issues.
However, live annual meetings probably won't disappear any time soon—especially at big businesses known for elaborate events. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. drew tens of thousands of investors to its 2011 meeting at an Omaha arena.
Johnson & Johnson JNJ 0.90 % also attracts big crowds. About 1,900 people typically attend annual meetings of the pharmaceutical giant, says Carol Goodrich, a spokeswoman.
Shareholders line up around 7:30 a.m., two hours before the session starts. They get coffee and Danish pastries beforehand and lunch sandwiches afterward. Everyone takes home goody bags filled with J&J products ranging from Listerine to baby shampoo.

Mercyhurst expands offerings at struggling center
A dark cloud of financial woes is hanging over the Booker T. Washington Center, but Mercyhurst University officials say that won't keep the sun from shining on their programs at the center.
Mercyhurst officials have announced plans to offer three new certificate programs in the fall and a college preparation course for high school graduates this summer all at the center at 1720 Holland St. Those program expansions will go hand in hand with the university leasing more space at the center.
All of this is happening while Booker T. Washington Center officials are dealing with lingering funding issues that led to the IRS stripping the center of its nonprofit status.
Mercyhurst President Tom Gamble said the university is keeping tabs on those issues, but he doesn't plan to end the university's work at the center.
"The inner city is going through a tough time right now," Gamble said. "It's not the time to abandon a project like that. We want to be part of the solution."
The IRS revoked the center's 501(c)(3) status in March, saying officials had not submitted required Form 990s for three consecutive years -- 2010, 2011 and 2012. The center's newly hired accountant, Christopher Elwell, disputes that claim, saying the 2010 form was submitted but the 2011 and 2012 forms weren't because the center couldn't afford to hire an accountant.
The dispute has already caused the center to lose more than $10,000 in Community Development Block Grant funding for summer programs channeled through the city and has cast doubt on funding from organizations like the United Way of Erie County. Booker T. Washington Center Executive Director William Jeffress couldn't be reached for comment Friday.
Gamble said university officials have met with Jeffress and other center officials twice to discuss the center's financial outlook and confirmed that they can still lease the space despite the center's loss of nonprofit status. After getting the OK to continue leasing space, Gamble said Mercyhurst decided to expand the program because it seems to be helping people -- including the center's first 10 graduates who earned their associate degrees in May.
"We're worried about" the financial situation, Gamble said. "And we're monitoring it, but education is the best anti-poverty program ever created."
Gamble said the university paid more than $40,000 to lease space at the center during the 2013-14 academic year. He expects to pay more than $50,000 for the upcoming year.
The new offerings are medical assistant, retail management and early childhood education one-year certificate programs.
Travis Lindahl, associate vice president of enrollment for Mercyhurst's McAuley College of Associate Degree Studies, said each of those programs is designed so students can continue on to associate or bachelor's degree programs if they wish.
"We were surprised that some of the students who just graduated with associate degrees showed an interest in continuing to earn bachelor's degrees," Lindahl said. "There were people who were initially intimidated by college, but realized they're pretty good at it."
Mercyhurst's associate degree program at the Booker T. Washington Center has about 60 students. Lindahl hopes at least 10 students enroll in each of the certificate programs.
There will also be a summer program for high school graduates starting June 23 with math, reading and writing lessons.

Alexis McLaughlin, a freshman at Madison County High School, is participating in the Freshman Academy FFA Chapter. She has her own show animals for the Supervised Agriculture Experience program, which includes one show heifer and four pigs
These animals will be shown throughout this school year at various shows in the area and at state competitions. This past summer, she traveled with fellow exhibitors to the National Junior Swine Association show in Louisville, Ky.
She is the daughter of Patricia and Mike McLaughlin.
When asked what her goals are for her animals this show season, Alexis said, "I would like my heifer to be friendlier to other showers and other people. Right now she will get very scared when someone else is in the ring and I would like her to get to the point that it doesn't matter whose in the ring she will still set up like she does for me."
And she was asked for advice she would give a younger showman, she said: "Whenever you get frustrated with your project, just keep going. Don't stop showing."
Alexis looks back at her show career and the impact it has had on her life.
"My favorite memory was when my older sister got her show pig, Petunia, and watching her show and learning from her," she said.

Los Angeles led 3-2 in the third period when Alec Martinez scored a power play goal at 7:38, but the home team was unable to hold on to their lead.
Duncan Keith tied it at 11:34 before Kane broke the tie in the closing minutes of the game.

One of the big innovations "Zest" brought to reading mailing lists was a paragraph-centric view of messages rather than a thread-centric view. I think he introduced the program years ago on this list, so hopefully I won't need to explain in too much detail what makes it interesting. The paragraph focus means it's easy to watch questions get asked and answered without diving through a full thread or having to remember lots of state as to who asked what. I discovered that Python code a few months back and fixed some bugs here and there. I also made a web interface where you can link me to an mbox file and I'll run Zest against it <http://dev.asheesh.org/code/zest_web/>.

(There are some bugs I know need to be fixed, and the URLs need to be fixed to make more sense.) I'd love to hear comments from cap-talkers about ways this is good or ways it could be improved. I don't think I'll be able to spend a whole lot of time updating Zest, but some tips from energetic mailing list users like you guys would be great motivation! (-: -- Asheesh. P.S.

How to Avoid EPA Citations? Keep Good Oil Tank Inspection Records.
One of the biggest compliance problems the oil and gas industry has with the EPA's Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) inspections involves maintenance of records related to oil tank inspections, says environment, health and safety services consultants BLR.
The firm analyzed 93 SPCC expedited settlements at 46 bulk storage facilities and 47 onshore oil production facilities in the first half of 2013.
At bulk storage facilities, 13 percent of the citations involved tank inspections. These citations included records not being kept for the required three years and having no inspection records at all.
Of the facilities that did have records to show the regulators, the facilities received citations because the records did not include inspections of tank supports/foundations, deterioration, discharges, and/or accumulations of oil, BLR says.
At onshore production facilities, the majority of the 276 citations also centered on inadequate environmental data and inspection records.
The citations at these facilities included aboveground valves and pipelines that were not examined periodically on a scheduled basis for general condition, and visual inspections of containers, foundations and supports that were not conducted periodically for deterioration and maintenance needs.
Worker training accounted for more than 16 percent of the 281 citations for bulk storage facilities, included SPCC training citations, according to BLR.
The analysis of onshore oil production facilities indicated that 18 percent of the citations were for personnel training. Common citation included a lack of training record maintenance, no training on the operation and maintenance of equipment to prevent discharges, no training on the applicable pollution control laws, rules and regulations, and no training on the contents of the SPCC Plan.
The group further analyzed citations facilities received related the SPCC Plan. At bulk storage facilities, the majority were fined for not having an SPCC Plan at all. This was possibly due to the fact that SPCC applicability is determined by oil storage capacity – not necessarily how much oil the facility currently stores.
The minimum penalty for not having a required SPCC plan is $1,500. Fines increase substantially – $37,500 per day, per violation, with no cap – if a facility has spill and does not have and SPCC plan, BLR says.
Reader Comments
It's unfair that the minimum penalty that large corporations have to pay for failing to have a proper SPCC plan is $1500 which is the same that's small companies have to pay as well. Heaven help those small businesses If a spill occurs and they don't have a SPCC plan in place; $37,500 per day is a pretty steep fine but it's a drop in the bucket to huge oil refineries.

Disruption brought by superstorm Sandy drove first-time unemployment claims to a seasonally adjusted 439,000, the most since April 2011, the U.S. Labor Department said. The 78,000 increase was the biggest one-week jump since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Sandy's effects could reduce economic growth this quarter as much as a half percentage point, economists said.

SLDF 2012: SAC eco-index to help reduce supplier audits
By Petah Marian | 16 November 2012
How the Sustainable Apparel Coalition's Higg Index could appear on a label or a hang tag
Suppliers may need to undergo only one audit a year on their sustainability and environmental credentials if an eco-index initiative by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) takes off.
Speaking at the Sri Lanka Design Festival today (16 November), SAC index manager Ryan Young said that the Higg Index, which was launched in July this year, could lead to suppliers being audited on its framework just once a year, with that information shared among its members.
The SAC, whose members include Nike, Marks & Spencer, Levi Strauss and Wal-Mart, is working to build a "common understanding of what sustainability means, what it is and what it isn't, and also that there is a common framework that measures the sustainability of individual products".
The future that the SAC envisions would enable designers to make better decisions on the materials they use by having access to information on which ones are more sustainable than others.
Buyers would also have details of individual facilities and how sustainable they are. Facilities would also have clear expectations of what would be demanded of them, Young added.
"Because this framework would be shared across the industry, you would now have a situation where you would be audited once a year and, because brands have all of this shared understanding, would be willing to share that across brands. So you wouldn't be audited on one standard by one brand on one week, then another standard by another brand the next week," said Young.
The Higg Index is based on established evaluation tools, including the Outdoor Industry Association's Eco Index and Nike's Environmental Apparel Design Tool.
It is designed to measure everything from water and energy use to greenhouse gas emissions, waste, chemicals and toxicity, and has been released after a year of beta testing the sustainability impacts of some 150 products from more than 63 companies.
Young said the index, which quantifies sustainability attributes, giving them a score between zero and 100, "could show up on a label or a hang tag, so that everyone has the same information - including the consumers - about the impact of a product".
According to Young, the SAC represents over 30% of the market for apparel and footwear. Its members also include suppliers like MAS, Li & Fung and TAL Apparel.
The next version of the Index, set to be released in 2013, will include key social and labour metrics.
