We'll see starting tomorrow.
Amare will explode second half of the season
Amare is full of crap, well see what we been seeing

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Anyone believing this stuff, or is it more stuff the fans want to hear that Amare is saying.
first he's talking about sacrifices, now he promises to play like his old self
in the second article he stated
"it's definitely a rhythm thing, so now i feel great"
Does it really take until after the All-star weekend for you to get back in rhythm.
We'll see starting tomorrow.
he'll be fine this second half everything comes together. ive been patient and thats what its about with this team. were on the cusp. Stat has started to show some live getting that pep back and shooting better from the field. so he's getting more confortable. all in time.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
He's just saying what he thinks everyone wants to hear. What's drastically changed between when he was chillin on the beach and today? I'm actually offended by his comment as a true Knicks fan. You would have never heard some of the old Knicks say that. Play hard out the gate man. Why wait till now to play like your "old self"?? That's wack.
Sorry but I call bull****.
Real Talk
I think he'll get better but not back to his 'old self". The guy is getting outplayed by Josh Harrelson and Jared Jeffries. If it wasn't for his name he'd be coming off the bench.
How far we go will be determined by how JR Smith plays, if Jared can keep up the amazing D, if Tyson can continue to carry us on D, If Lin can keep playing well, and how quickly Melo can get back to being Melo.
I expect nothing from Amare because this season I've seen nothing from Amare.
blah, blah, blah.
Maybe hes trying to lose some weight with all the calories he is burning by yapping it up.
I am going to scream next time you barrol into the defense like jared jeffries. Atleast jeffries gets a shot off even though it doesnt hit the basket. Amare, you get your ass BLOCKED......but hell, as long as you get your one highlight dunk of the night, its all good......i guess.
Amare jumper is off, he isn't playing weakside defense anymore, and his shots in the paint are regularly getting blocked, yet he says he feels fine.
We know Melo has been injured, although I'm not letting him off the hook totally either.
Personally I can't see how anyone can feel good about their star player admitting he hasn't been giving his all.
He's been talking all season. Defense, I feel like a beast, buying in [so sick of that overused term].
Thus far, we've seen it only fleetingly.
No one respects those that say one thing and do another, or leave promises unfulfilled. If he hadn't done so before, he's made his bed now.
Like I have been saying, Amare is a hard worker (we should know that from last season) and he knows what it takes to play in NY (also something we should have learned last year) so there really should not be too much concern about his poor play, especially during a lockout season where he was hurt much of the off season!
Players with skill and work ethic just don't lose it without a major setback from an injury
check my equation for success in sports and in particular The NBA
High Skill and poor work ethic and attitude=Kwame Brown Eddy Curry Isiah Rider
Low Skill and lots Great Work Ethic and attitude= Jerome Williams Malik Rose Bruce Bowen
High Skill and High work ethic: Perinial All Stars!!!
Where has Stat proven to be over the course of his time in The NBA?
That's the problem with us as fans, when players slump we are ready to ship them out for next to nothing!
I beleive it is just a timing thing, a player of his magnitude does not just forget how to play, especially on the offensive end!

A Very Catholicgauze Wedding Plus a Call for Guest Posts
We also hope to have a feature which will describe wedding customs from around the world. This is where you, the readers, come in. Catholicgauzette and I cannot possibly hope to cover the world's vast array of wedding cultures as we reach the final weeks before the wedding. We need readers to write about weddings in their country/culture/sub-culture. The post do not have to be long (even a paragraph or two would do). This is a great opportunity to get cross-blog readership if you are a blogger as well.

Greetings from Poland and congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I got married in Poland last year, and the difference between a typical American wedding and a classic Polish Catholic wedding can be summed up as follows: in Poland there is less speechifying ("I first met the bride while bowling with Rob..") and much more drinking and dancing, and the weddings last until dawn wheras in the US they tended to die down after about 2:00am, if that.
Also, there is a cute custom in some parts of Poland where the wedding party is stopped by local lads who form a blockade in the road, until the best man gets out of the car and "pays the toll" in the form of a bottle of vodka. Hilarity ensues.
Good luck and enjoy!

We have 1 (hopefully 2) takers so far. Thanks Catlin and IW! They will be published after my wedding.
Cultural Geography from Canada
The most common and noticeable observation in Canadian cultural geography is that Canada prides itself on being a cultural mosaic.
Diversity and expressions of traditions and cultures is welcomed
here in your neighbour to the north.
We see this most in times of celebrations such as holiday festivals or weddings.
Some Canadians bring together their
cultures of the families in terms of dress, ceremonial tradition and of course food. It is not uncommon to have 2 different wedding ceremonies reflecting different cultures.
In Canada, wedding photos happen
in scenic outdoor locations, even
sometimes in winter. This happens
whether the wedding has been at a Church of city ahll.
Some Canadians opt for the cottage wedding of going to some place a few gours outside of town and doing a more casual atmosphere
in dress and celebration.
So in the Canadian culture of weddings, cultural diversity rules.

Got another one, thanks Canada!

I have not been around for a while -- limiting my web use -- but it looks like I arrived at an important time. Congratulations/ best wishes on this important milestone in your life. I wish I could offer an exotic wedding for your site. Mine was low-key, though we are also celebrating our anniversary this month.
By the way, here is an interesting map:

2012 Rocklahoma
Pryor, OK
Friday-Sunday, May 25-27, 2012
Doors: 3:00 p.m.
Rocklahoma returns with yet another stellar lineup of top rock artists for a monstrous Memorial Day weekend party, May 25-27. The 2012 lineup features a variety of headliners and supporting acts that span several decades and genres of music. Creed, Rob Zombie and supergroup Chickenfoot will close each respective day's festivities. With three stages and well over sixty hard rock acts, music will literally flow non-stop from early afternoon until late evening.
Guitar aficionados should be salivating to find Slash, Joe Satriani of Chickenfoot and Megadeth's Dave Mustaine demonstrating their masterful fretwork in a live setting. Each has redefined music via their trademark styles, they are true pioneers of their craft. Those who prefer vocals need to look no further than Geoff Tate of Queensrÿche, his operatic voice is arguably one the the best in metal, past or present.
The festival also features a handful of bands that recently broke out on rock radio. Most notably, Chevelle and Volbeat have been around for years; yet both had their first Billboard #1 singles within the last few months. Both bands have been touring relentlessly and come in to Rocklahoma primed to impress. Other bands to appear that are currently sitting on hit singles, and on the verge of breaking out, include Janus, Redlight King, Aranda and New Medicine. Looking for a positive message with your music? P.O.D., Eve to Adam and Red are slated to perform Friday night and deliver a proclamation beyond the typical lyrical trifecta of sex, drugs and rock and roll.
Creed were among the top of the charts during the late '90s. Their frontman Scott Stapp blew away the crowd when they opened their 2012 tour in Chicago a couple weeks ago. They'll be looking to do the same in Pryor, OK at the top of Friday night's lineup. The original members of The Darkness also recently reunited after five year hiatus. The British glam rockers brought 1980's hair metal back to the forefront when "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" smashed the charts in 2003. They will perform on Saturday's Rocklahoma lineup, hopefully with rumored new music in tow.
Official Rocklahoma line-ups for each day
Friday (May 25): Creed, Slash, Chevelle, P.O.D., Cavo, Adelitas Way, Red, Redlight King, Janus, Eve to Adam, Beneath, Fist of Rage, Lynam, Pretty Little Suicide, Hessler, Down & Dirty, Ragdoll, Sunset Riot, Absence of Ink, For the Broken, Echo Fuzz, Shotgun Rebels, Soulicit, Rocker Lips and Mine Enemies Fall
Saturday (May 26): Rob Zombie, Megadeth, Theory of a Deadman, Volbeat, The Darkness, 10 Years, Pop Evil, Trivium, New Medicine, Anti-Mortem, Gypsy Pistoleros, Lillian Axe, Firstryke, S.E.X. Department, Ruff Justice, Switchblade Scarlett, On Fire, Villians Dance, Stun, Dagger, Unwritten Rulz, Echo Vendetta, A Good Fight and Sweatin Bullets

Google's "Unsupervised" Self-Learning Neural Network Searches For Cat Pics
Jason Mick
June 26, 2012 2:30 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: Pop Kitten)
Magic happens at Google Inc.'s (
) X Laboratory, a secret research and development center located at an unknown location in the Bay Area of Northern California. Some projects previously disclosed have been the
augmented reality "Google Goggles"
and the
self-driving automobiles
. Google X is even rumored to be working on
a space elevator
I. AI Neural Net Loves Cats
But one of the most fascinating -- and perhaps frightening -- Google X accomplishment has been its creation of one of the world's largest self-learning
"unsupervised" neural networks
. Consisting of 16,000 computer processors, the array is capable of complex task that are considered impossible using traditional algorithms. One such task is finding cute cats on the internet.
As a test of the nascent cognizant system,
Stanford University
Electrical Engineering Professor
Andrew Y. Ng
and Google fellow Jeff Dean fed the machine 10 million thumbnails of YouTube videos. Without being told exactly what to "look for", the network began to hierarchically arrange data, removing duplicate similar features and group certain images together.
One example was the cat. Thanks to the wealth of cat videos on YouTube, the cyber-brain eventually came to a single dream-like image representing the network's knowledge of what a cat looks like. The network was able to then able to recognize its favorite thing -- cat videos, no matter what subtle variations merry YouTubers come up with to their feline's appearance.

The significant part, say researchers, is that the network wasn't told what to look for.
Professor Dean
in an interview in
New York Times
, "We never told it during the training, 'This is a cat.' It basically invented the concept of a cat. We probably have other ones that are side views of cats."
II. Future Systems May Match or Beat Human Brain
Google researchers believe this capability is due to the fact that the network operates similarly to the visual cortex in the human brain. The visual cortex is thought to contain so-called "grandmother neurons", which store key images, such as your love ones' faces. The system developed an idea of what a human face looks like, though it lacked the specificity of known faces stored in the human visual cortex.
The system taught itself what a human looks like. [Image Source: Google]
Dr. Ng describes, "A loose and frankly awful analogy is that our numerical parameters correspond to synapses [in the human brain]."
He says that despite that the network learned what a cat looks like and many basic human features, that it still had far less connections ("synapses") than a human brain. In short, mankind is still winning versus his digital counterpart. Writes the team, "It is worth noting that our network is still tiny compared to the human visual cortex, which is a million times larger in terms of the number of neurons and synapses."
David A. Bader
, executive director of high-performance computing at the
Georgia Tech
College of Computing, though, says that the team's findings indicate that mankind's era of superiority will be short-lived. He comments, "The scale of modeling the full human visual cortex may be within reach before the end of the decade."
In a difficult test of recognizing 20,000 images, the system performed better than any machine to date, post-learning. The final accuracy was 15.8 percent, 70 percent better than the previous record-holder.
The work was
at the
29th International Conference on Machine Learning
in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The project is now headed out of the top-secret lab and into Google's server farms. Applications that it may be used in include improving results in Google's image search and adaptive speech recognition for Android mobile devices.
But Professor Ng has his sights set on a far more ambitious goal -- a machine that is capable of fully learning, developing into a
fully sentient digital system
. To get there he'll need to wait for the never-ending process of hardware improvements to reach a bit further and he'll also have to work on the fundamental algorithms.
The Google X system is close, but not quite there. He states, "It'd be fantastic if it turns out that all we need to do is take current algorithms and run them bigger, but my gut feeling is that we still don't quite have the right algorithm yet."

Our family settled on the old Smith farm, five miles outside of Narrowsburg, 13 years ago. In those 13 years, we have seen the public schools merge, the rural Narrowsburg school close and be boarded up, 9/11 and the banking crisis transform the national and regional economic landscape, people bicker over casino gambling and, most notably and sadly, the division of our towns by the promise or threat, depending on how you look at it, of high volume hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as "fracking." All the while, our children have grown up in an uncertain time yet are eager to explore what the future has to promise. As a community member and parent, wondering how to cope with these uncertainties has forced me to take a closer look.
We seem to have been at the proverbial crossroads for the last five years here in the Upper Delaware. Should we choose or resist the gold-rush-like temptation that fracking offers? Several towns including Town of Tusten have voted a prudent "no," concluding that the risks are too great to our heath, the environment and our future. Looking westward, fracking in Pennsylvania provides proof that it's not what we want here. In fact, the fear factor has created a newfound awareness of what we have and have to protect. One can only dwell in the realm of uncertainty for so long before it is necessary to take action, positive action in the form of finding solutions. We are blessed to live in a community that is beginning to thrive from the inside out. New businesses and alliances are being formed through simple partnerships like the development of the fireworks committee to restore the 100-year Narrowsburg tradition, the Tusten Local Development Corporation to help local businesses and community projects. Simple actions like the old bus garage on Bridge Street opening its doors to the public are a sign of renewal.
Efforts by the Tusten town council to invest energy in projects like the town master plan or the Big Eddy Waterfront Park are admirable and offer proof that they care about improving the quality of life and the economic vitality of the community. Unlike certain towns in Pennsylvania that have banked their future on fracking, Tusten so far has chosen a path of fostering smart development and cultivating its natural assets—the historic character of our town on the beautiful Delaware River. So much progress has been made over the last 10 years in improving the hamlet of Narrowsburg, and it has already become a destination for travelers and new business owners looking for inspiration or renewal. Imagine what a riverfront park will do to enhance that Narrowsburg experience.
In 2012, Senator Bonacic was named to serve as representative on Governor Cuomo's Regional Economic Council covering Sullivan County and the entire Mid-Hudson Region. As stated in Bonacic's recent flyer, "Regional Councils allocate funds for local projects designed to create jobs and save local taxpayer dollars." Tusten is fortunate to have received $106,400 from this round of funding for the construction phase of the Big Eddy Waterfront Park in Narrowsburg. This was accomplished through hard work, partnership and collaboration with three other projects in the river corridor that share a vision of enhancing business development and the quality of life along the Upper Delaware River. These four projects are but seeds for future "green" development along the corridor. Are these uncertain times? Yes, but, as they say, from small seeds come mighty oaks.

Notebook: Plans Starting To Show
The Columbus Dispatch - February 23, 2014 09:34 AM
KISSIMMEE, Fla. – With less than two weeks remaining until the Crew opens the regular season, a few pieces of Gregg Berhalter's plans for the team are beginning to show.
After having spent the first few weeks of the preseason getting a feel for his players and installing aspects of how he wants the team to play, the Disney Pro Soccer Classic is providing an opportunity to start translating those lessons into action. The main lesson? Expect more pressure from the team's outside defenders and midfielders in what is solidifying as a 4-2-3-1 formation.
"I think emphasis is a good word," right back Chad Barson said. "In the past, maybe we talked about it'd be nice to get the outside backs forward a little bit more but now I think it's really an emphasis. We've been building around that and working in tandems with the outside backs and outside mids and understanding positioning of your teammates on the field so the outside guys can get into more advanced positions on the field and create overloads and disadvantages for the other team."
It's a system Dominic Oduro said he feels plays to his strengths. As the team's leading scorer from a season ago, Oduro occupies the right side of the midfield but considers himself a forward.
"It's not like I'm playing like a midfielder," he said. "Defensively he wants me to tuck in but I'm more like a second forward in disguise."
Defensive midfielder Wil Trapp echoed Barson's thoughts on how differently the team's approach is compared to a season ago.
"(Wednesday's) performance was much more patient and calculated in how we went about trying to find the gaps to exploit the other team," he said. "Last year it wasn't as organized and the ideas weren't there. This year we have the ideas and we know where we can find the imbalances in the other team's defense and exploit them. It's still a work in progress."
Barson said the approach has meant the outside backs have to be in constant communication with the two defensive midfielders.
"Not just them, but your partnership on the outside, knowing if an outside back is going forward those guys need to tuck in a little more and then if the outside backs are forward we can't get caught out of position so maybe the center mid needs to slide out as we recover," he said. " Organization and communication is always very important and just understanding your teammates and tendencies, when the center mid needs to slide out. I think we're a pretty tight-knit group and we understand each other well, even the new guys."
After yesterday's 1-0 win against Philadelphia, Berhalter was asked if he feels the team is understanding his vision.
"I think so," he said. "We're getting there. Stuff like this takes time. I think they understand the general philosophy of how we want to get things done, so that's big, but listen: we're a long way from a finished product."
Still waiting
The United States national team is scheduled to travel for a March 5 exhibition against Ukraine, but turmoil in the country has the game in doubt.
Crew defender Michael Parkhurst, who is hoping to make the country's World Cup roster, said it seems unlikely that he or any of his MLS counterparts will make the trip.
"From what I've read in the press, (coach Jurgen Klinsmann) is going to take a mostly-European team, which makes sense because it would be really difficult to play in the Ukraine and then fly back and play on the 8th (for the season opener)," Parkhurst said. "It's not something Gregg and I have talked about because I'm under the assumption that MLS guys won't be involved, but who knows?"& amp; amp; lt; /p>
Should the game go on as planned, Parkhurst said he is not worried about safety.
"The security is always so good for the national team and they would never put us in a situation where they didn't think it was safe," he said. "The game isn't in Kiev, which is good, but for me personally I haven't really thought about it because as of now I'm not going and I don't know if I'm going or not."
The Crew has today off before returning to practice Monday. It will face Orlando City SC on Wednesday before closing out the tournament March 1 against a to-be-determined foe.
For the final three years of his playing career, Berhalter suited up for the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Friday, Major League Soccer announced that it had purchased Chivas USA with plans to rebrand the team and move it to its own stadium rather than share one with the Galaxy. Berhalter said the league's commitment to two teams in Los Angeles makes sense given what the rivalry felt like when he was playing on one side.
"To me, it was a great rivalry," he said. "We're in the same building as those people and when it comes to the week of the game we don't talk to them. All of a sudden guys are friends but now you're separating form them. To me, I really appreciate that and I looked forward to those games. It meant a lot to me, so I like it personally. If you look at football around the world, you always have cities with multiple teams that really create nice rivalries. I love it, yeah. It's a great idea."
And as for the sale of Chivas itself, Berhalter said, "I think it's a very positive step. It just shows you the commitment that the league has in general. They're committed to this."

Pastel de Nata, is the king in coffee shops and bakeries. The Guardian has considered the famous egg and cream tart from the Portuguese pastry, the 15th tastiest delicacy all over the world and in Japan is one of the most appreciated and refined delicacies from Europe. It is a delicious pastry, but not so many know that its original recipe still remains unknown since this cream tart was created in 1820.
The original Pastel de Nata is called Pastel de Belém because it is made at a bakery and coffeehouse in Belém, the southwest section of the city. Only this bakery sells over 10.000 cream tarts in regular one day and it is the only one in the world selling the cream tarts made with the secret and original recipe. It is so famous and exclusive this secret that Pastel de Belém is the official pastry of banquets offered by Portugal President, since long time ago.
If you make a "blind test" to Portuguese people, everyone would know the difference either with or without powder sugar and cinnamon. Pastel de Belém really rocks and if it wasn't for the 3-hour waiting row, I'd be running to Belém because I'm mouth-watering for those creamy tarts that are eaten in 2 or 3 bites.
The good news is: you can eat more than one without feeling guilty!

The Ohio History Center just opened an exhibition of photography by Joe Munroe, whose photography of rural American life from the 1940s on is a continuation of the storyline started with iconic Depression-era images. The photos give us city-dwellers a feeling for the sweat, aches and sheer will it takes to forge a life off the land.
Munroe studied photography with Ansel Adams and was a photographer for Frank Lloyd Wright. The influence of both men is felt in these images of the people, animals and machinery that make rural living possible.
The photos show, "how our relationship to the land has changed, yet it hasn't. We're a little further removed from it, but it's still the same basic process. You still have to work the land to get your food and you still have to raise livestock to get your protein," said Sharon Dean, director of museum and library services for the Ohio Historical Society.

About a month ago it was announced that Zagato was building a new TZ3 Stradale, now the Milanese design house has revealed the first photos and details of its newest creation.
Zagato's TZ3 Stradale is an Alfa Romeo bodied sports car based on the platform and mechanical hardware of the hardcore, but out of production Dodge Viper ACR. Power comes from the top-spec Viper's same 447kW 8.4-litre V10 engine mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox and a full race-spec suspension. The TZ3 Stradale uses an all new and all carbon fibre body with the most distinctive design feature being the classic Kamm-tail layout. While this coachbuilt Viper doesn't actually use any mechanical pieces from Alfa Romeo, its design puts a decidedly contemporary spin on years of collaboration between Zagato and Alfa.
The TZ3 Stradale is Zagato's second and final tribute to the 100th anniversary of Alfa Romeo (1910-2010), which started in 2009 with the presentation of the 8C Competizione-based TZ3 Corsa that took out the Villa D'Este Design Concept Award in 2010.

For Immediate Release
July 27, 2006
Springfield, IL – The Illinois State Board of
Education (ISBE), in partnership with the Illinois Arts
Council, recently awarded grants totaling more than $1.1
million to 38 school districts across Illinois to strengthen
their arts education and foreign language programs.
The funding, appropriated in the State of Illinois FY06
budget, will assist school districts with engaging in
a planning process to develop new or strengthen existing
arts education and foreign language curricula. The grants
ranged in size from $12,000 to $40,000 depending on the
size of the district, the scope of the program and the
level of planning required.
"This was a very competitive grant process and
only school districts that met the criteria and demonstrated
they had the ability to complete the planning and sustain
their program were awarded funding. We hope this funding
will jump start the arts education or foreign language
program in those districts that receive funding. We also
believe that through this process we will be able to
identify model arts education or foreign language programs
that can be replicated throughout the state," said
Illinois School Superintendent Randy Dunn.
The announcement of the $1.1 million in grants was made
during the two-day (July 25 and 26) Illinois Alliance
for Arts Education conference held at Princeton High
School. IAAE is the principal arts education organization
in Illinois whose main purpose is to ensure high quality
comprehensive arts education for all children in the
In October 2005, Illinois Creates, a statewide arts
education coalition led by the Illinois Arts Alliance,
released the results of a groundbreaking study that revealed
broad disparities in the amount of arts education students
receive across the state. The study found that 20 percent
of Illinois principals reported having no arts program
of any kind in their school.
The Illinois Creates study was confirmed by new research
released on March 28, 2006 by the Center on Education
Policy in Washington, D.C. that found that since the
passage of the federal No Child Left Behind law, 71 percent
of the nation's 15,000 school districts had reduced the
hours of instructional time spent on history, music and
other subjects to open up more time for reading and math.
To demonstrate its commitment to the arts and foreign
languages as core learning areas, the ISBE, in partnership
with the Illinois Arts Council, developed the Arts and
Foreign Language grant program. The Illinois Arts Alliance
and the Illinois Council on Teaching Foreign Languages
played significant roles in working with ISBE and the
Illinois Arts Council to design the program to award
this state funding.
In FY2006, Illinois passed a $2 million budget appropriation
for arts education and foreign language. Then again in
FY2007, ISBE proposed, the state legislature passed and
Gov. Blagojevich approved an increase in the appropriation
to $4 million.
"The arts are a powerful engine in developing
students' creative faculties, dramatically increasing
their desire and ability to learn," said Terry
A. Scrogum, Executive Director, Illinois Arts Council. "The
Illinois Arts Council considers this new partnership
with the Illinois State Board of Education a significant
step toward ensuring the arts are an influential part
of every Illinois student's education. We look forward
to working together and empowering Illinoisans through
arts and education to achieve their greatest potential – both
in school and throughout their lives," he said.
For three days in June a panel of 28 arts education
and foreign language experts met in Springfield to review
proposals received from 69 school districts (45 applied
for arts funding, 21 for foreign language and 3 for both
arts and foreign language). After thoroughly reviewing
each application, the group of arts education and foreign
language experts individually scored each applicant based
on criteria outlined in the grant application.
School districts awarded grants demonstrated a great
need for additional funding for their arts education
and foreign language programs and the ability to successfully
develop a comprehensive plan to strengthen their arts
education or foreign language programs. Grant recipients
also detailed plans to implement their plans in future
years with local funds. Chicago Public Schools is the
only district to be awarded two grants – one for
arts education and one for foreign languages.
Funding in subsequent years will be contingent upon
a sufficient appropriation for the program and satisfactory
progress in the preceding grant period.

Sad news
It is with a heavy heart that we tell you all that our dear staff member Tonibunny, who was with SSo from the start and was a good friend to many here, passed away 26th February.
She was a wonderful friend to many members of the site. She readily shared all her knowledge and experience of scoliosis and was always willing to help and encourage anyone who reached out to her. When she wasn't sharing her experience of scoliosis, she shared her love of books, art, and music. She had a love of learning and life that was infectious.

Sandy River Bridge Disposition
Sandy River Conduit Bridge
The Portland Water Bureau (PWB) is seeking a home for a 115 year-old steel pin-truss historic bridge.
The Sandy River Conduit #2 and #4 Bridge once crossed the Sandy River in rural Clackamas County. Until recently, it was the oldest bridge in Oregon that performed its original task—carrying the drinking water conduits that supplied water to a quarter of the state's population.
The conduits have been removed and placed under the Sandy River in order to reduce their vulnerability to human and natural hazards. That leaves a historic bridge ready to be put into use elsewhere.
The Oregon State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) has determined that the bridge is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. This designation, under state and federal law, finds that the removal of the bridge from its current site constitutes the loss of a historic resource. In order to mitigate the effect of having the Bridge removed from its current location, the Portland Water Bureau (PWB) and SHPO have agreed that it is in the public interest to attempt to find an organization or agency that will use the bridge in a new location. Under SHPO requirements, if the bridge has not been relocated and reused after three years, the PWB may recycle it as scrap metal.
The 300-ft. long, 14-ft. wide bridge is in good condition and can be reused for pedestrian and bike use with prudent upgrades. The bridge has been determined to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Due to the historic nature of the bridge, the PWB has carefully disassembeld the bridge so that it can be reused in a new location. This bridge is an integral part of the PWB's history and the agency is motivated to preserve it for future generations at a new location.
As part of the bureau's efforts to educate potential users of the bridge, the PWB has developed a package of information, all of which can be downloaded by clicking on the links below. A CD containing all the documents is available as well.
1) Sandy River Bridge Truss Components Baseline Condition Assessment, January 2008

An MRI confirmed what the Cowboys had feared -- that Lee suffered a torn ACL and will not return for the upcoming season, ESPN.com reported.
Video showed Lee expressing his frustration with is another setback in his young career. He apparently hurt his left knee while being blocked by rookie first-round draft pick Zach Martin.
It's the third time Lee has had an ACL injury and the second time it happened to his left knee. Lee tore his right ACL in college and partially tore his left ACL in 2009.
Last year, Lee sat out the final three games and five games overall with neck and hamstring problems. He missed all but six games of the 2012 season with a toe injury and was sidelined for one game in 2011 with a wrist injury. Since Lee signed as the team's second-round draft pick in 2010, he has yet to play a full season.
However, Lee has shown enough ability on the field that he received a six-year extension before last season that could be worth $51 million, but he has to play 80 percent of the team's snaps to reach the deal's escalators, which is notable considering his struggles with injuries.
"Obviously, I've had injuries and I've said I need to find a way to stay on this field," Lee told the Cowboys' official website. "And the contract is extremely fair. If I'm on the field the whole year, I'll be able to get paid. But if I do have injuries, it protects the Cowboys and I think that's fantastic, especially with the injuries I've dealt with in the past.
"Hopefully, I'll find a way to be on the field every single year. That's my goal. So I think it's extremely fair."
Lee had 99 tackles and four interceptions in 11 games for Dallas last season. Lee's absence will leave a big hole in the middle of the Cowboys defense.
While Lee left Tuesday's practice, quarterback Tony Romo was back on the field throwing passes and working on handoffs just six months after undergoing back surgery.
The 34-year-old Romo, who missed the final game of the 2013 season after the surgical repair of a herniated disk, did not participate in team drills later in the session. Backup and Cowboys newcomer Brandon Weeden worked with the first team, according to reports.
Romo is expected to take about a third of the snaps during the OTAs, ESPN reported.

My wife is have problems nursing our 3 day old baby. It seems that all he wants to do is sleep right now. The first day he was latching on quite a bit and then the second day he latched on less and less. When we first started nursing the baby would suck just to suck and we were advised to use a pacifier for when this happens. So, as he bagan to nurse less and less he would sleep more and cry more at feeding times, even refusing to feed. We are so confused right now and are worried that he is not eating. He nursed for about 30 minutes this morning and slept pretty much the rest of the day. He cries soooo much when my wife tries to put him to breast.
What is the problem?????


text:
First of all, please let me tell you how much I appreciate and love the support you guys have! You are all so, so helpful.
The cracks on my nipples look to be one crack across each. I'm rubbing them with breast milk and they are starting to look a little better. Also bought some cream (Lanoish sp?) to use on them. Sometimes my nipples look okay after she finishes, but sometimes they are shaped like lipstick. I know that ain't good. LOL. Don't know what else I can do until I can go see the LC in my area. I can't drive for two weeks so I will try to schedule something around hubby's work schedule so he can take me. The type of pain I feel is like little stings when she sucks. Nothing so severe I can't stand it, but enough to get on your nerves. I don't feel this when I pump my breast milk with a manual pump.
We had a fitful night last night where all she wanted to do was suck, suck, suck on my breast and when I laid her down to sleep, she would scream. I thought I would supplement her to see if she would get full and sleep, but I really didn't like how that turned out. After she drank only half an oz, she went kinda in a haze and finally went to sleep. I told my husband I felt it was strange, but he just thinks I'm paranoid. Is there any link to formula and some type of shock for babies?

No jail for woman who took her kid out of stateJuly 25,2014No jail for woman
who fled with kid
BENNINGTON A woman who was intercepted in Chicago while fleeing the state with her 4-year-old child in February pleaded guilty to a felony Wednesday, but is not expected to serve any time in prison.
Kaela Holland, 24, of Albany, N.Y., pleaded guilty in Bennington criminal court Wednesday to a felony charge of custodial interference with a child younger than 18.
Under the plea agreement entered Wednesday, Hollands sentencing will be delayed for five years. If she stays out of legal trouble during that period, Hollands record will be expunged.
Holland was arrested in February after the father of the child reported that Holland, who lived in Bennington at the time, had left Vermont without his permission.
Holland and the child were found unharmed on an Amtrak train going from New York to Michigan.
Bennington County States Attorney Erica Marthage said in court on Thursday that Holland was now getting treatment in New York, based on drug-related charges she faced in that state, for her drug addiction problems.
Marthage said Hollands sentencing had been delayed for an unusually long time because it would allow authorities to keep her under observation while the child is still very young.
Judge Nancy Corsones encouraged Holland to work at building a good relationship with her daughter so she would deserve to have (her) record expunged.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Something rustles surreptitiously outside the window. Sounds like dry leaves, or a cat, or maybe even something that hisses.
Immediately I think of my grandmother and what she would say. It could only be three things: a "kapre" (a giant elemental with blackened skin, which incidentally likes to smoke tobacco), a "manananggal" (a young or old woman who by night detaches her upper torso, which grows wings so that it can take flight in search of pregnant women), or a shape-shifting witch that has taken the form of a huge black bird. The scariest thing the "aswang" ("monster" in Filipino, which variably refers to one or all types) is that the nearer it is, the softer the sound it makes.
I think most families in the Philippines have their own share of aswang stories, especially those that frequent their hometowns in the provinces. In my case, whenever my aunts and grandmother begin to talk about eerie experiences (when I was a kid), my cousins and I would instantly congregate, in a tight circle, to scare ourselves late into the night and sometimes until the next few days.
The folklore is rich, fed not only by legends of monsters with endless variations from the rural regions, but also by popular culture. One movie, "Shake, Rattle, and Roll", which first showed while I was still in elementary, has become a film franchise (no different from the Freddy and Jason movies) that has already presented the tenth installment in its series.
Looking for picture references for this post, I stumbled upon equally cute and gory cartoons, illustrations, figurines, and even dolls of the popular "manananggal". (Second on the list is the "tikbalang" or the half-man, half-horse elemental, which can lead travelers astray on their journeys.)
The "manananggal" (the root word being "tanggal" or "detach") is a vampire-like creature that appears as a normal woman (in some versions, a man) during the day. It has a long tongue that is said to be able to go through roofs and thatched floors in search for pregnant women. Upon finding them, the manananggal feasts on unborn fetuses.
It is said to be afraid of garlic, like vampires, but salt can also repel it from houses. To defeat it, one need only locate the bottom part of its body while its torso leaves during the night. Salt or sand is enough to prevent it from fully reuniting itself. The rays of the sun can then finish the job.
Going over the images I found, I can't help but observe how far removed they are from the dark and musty stories my grandmother told us. I guess that's what you get living in the city your entire life with only Hollywood as your source of horror, and with the stories of our forebears slowly fading from our disturbed, sleepless memories.

The local housing market is slower than in the past but doing better than most of the nation, people involved in that market have said.
"Compared to the rest of the country, we've really been blessed in Curry and Roosevelt counties," said Wanda Graham of Kiva Realty in Portales.
The area has seen foreclosures, but not as many as in other parts of the country, she said. People continue to buy and sell homes, although less than in the past.
According to information from Graham, Portales real estate agents sold 52 homes this year. They ranged in price from $16,500 for an 1,848-square-foot house to $257,295 for a 2,179-square-foot house.
Portales Home Spot Director of Manufactured Homes Troy Hinton agreed the market for homes was "reasonably strong." The economy is good in this area, he said, but the overall American economy worries people.
"Buyers are very cautious," he said.
Hinton said entry- to mid-level manufactured homes are the most popular because housing is expensive.
Last year, Hinton said, he saw a 10 percent increase in sales of manufactured homes, and this year, Portales Home Spot is on track for a 20 percent increase.
Graham and Hinton both said the rental market is strong, and properties don't sit empty long.
"If we had five rentals, we could rent them 15 times each," Graham said.
Clovis-Portales Association of Realtors President Bonnie Wright said houses renting for $650-$950 per month are in short supply.
Roosevelt County Community Development Corporation Executive Director Greg Fisher said city building permit numbers appear to be on track for the same number of new construction projects as last year, 60-70 units.
City of Portales records show 60 new single- and multi-family dwellings received building permits in the 2009-2010 fiscal year. According to the records, 42 new single- and multi-family homes and six new manufactured homes were permitted in the 2010-2011 fiscal year.
Hinton said growth and demand for housing has kept the local home market strong. Wright named contractors at Cannon Air Force Base, the railroad and the planned electrical superstation Tres Amigas as factors.
"Our financing is pretty positive," she said, adding that lenders can solve problems and work with people.
In addition, Wright said low mortgage rates are helping people afford to buy.
Hinton said the Portales Home Spot loan specialist has no trouble helping people with good credit and a down payment find loans.
Lenders have a lot of money, and people want to invest it in real estate, he said. However, with new federal rules, getting a loan means lots of red tape.
"It's not really difficult; it just takes time," Hinton said.
Fisher said real estate agents have told him U.S. Air Force personnel often buy homes because they can get Veterans Administration loans that cost less than rent payments.
However, Graham said many people are moving to Portales and Clovis owing more on homes in other places than those houses are worth, keeping them from buying again.

Formed in 1963, the SEMA organization consisted of pioneers in the high-performance parts business. To make SEMA more inclusive to accessory manufacturers and also to improve its image, SEMA changed its name in 1970 to the Specialty Equipment Market Association.

CANTON — For Sydney King, last night's Ohio Division II swimming finals at the C.T. Branin Natatorium were her last splashes in the state meet pool, and the senior from Granville made sure to take the full tour.
She swam the anchor leg on the Blue Aces' meet-opening win in the women's 200-yard medley relay, finished second in the 500 freestyle, third in the 200 freestyle and swam the anchor leg in the night's finale, the 400 freestyle relay, to lift her team from fourth to second.
The Blue Aces finished fourth in the team standings, the best showing by any central Ohio team and behind champion Gates Mill Hawken, Gates Mill Gilmour and Cincinnati Oakwood. But what a trip, King said, after emerging from a tear-filled group hug with teammates Abby Stone, Keely Lovern and Paige Griesse that followed their second-place relay finish to Gilmour.
"We just love each other so much," King said. "I've been swimming with Abby since I was 9 years old, and it was kind of like our last hurrah. And to go out in second place, and do it with people you love the most, it was wonderful."
King, Stone and Lovern teamed with Kassandra Mestemaker in the 200 medley relay victory. But none of the Blue Aces gained an individual win, though some came close — like Stone, who was second in the 200 individual medley, and Mestemaker, who was second in the 100 breaststroke.
No swimmer from central Ohio won an individual race in either the girls or boys competitions. Oakwood won the boys team title, followed by Hawken, Cincinnati Wyoming and Cincinnati Seven Hills. Granville was a distant 13th.
Central Ohio is expected to flex some muscle this morning in the Division I diving finals and later in the Division I swim finals. The Upper Arlington girls team will go for its ninth state title in 10 years.
Hannah Stevens, the senior backstroke ace from Lexington who repeated as champion in the 100, was named the girls swimmer of the meet, while freestyling senior Brock Turner of Oakwood won the boys award.
Like King, Stevens and Turner took their final laps in the state meet pool. But there also were signs of things to come, like Columbus School for Girls freshman Miranda Donley's fourth-place finish in the 50 freestyle. She has three more years to climb the podium.
"I wanted to take first, but I'll take fourth," said Donley, who later was fifth in the 100 freestyle. "It's pretty big. I'm really excited to see what's next, what's up and coming."
Reed McCraw, a junior from Village Academy in Powell, was third in the boys 200 individual medley. Junior Rachel Politi of CSG was second in the 100 butterfly. The smile by Politi, who like Donley was a part of CSG's second-place 200 freestyle relay team that included sophomore Eleanor Smith and senior Erin Balasky, did not indicate major disappointment.
"As many meets as we swim in for club and high school, the high-school meet is so much fun because you see all these people you know," Politi said. "It's a super fun meet, but at the same time, you have to realize you are going to swim so many more meets throughout the season. So it's just important to have fun."
But it's also important to appreciate the moment, King said, because high-school days are fleeting.
"Everyone always says it goes by so fast, and you're thinking, 'Yeah, I'm stuck in high school four years,' and now I'm standing here, a senior," King said. "I don't know, it's just weird. You don't expect it to go by that fast. It's a blink of an eye."

|Title: Regulations Implementing Amendments to the Black Lung Benefits Act: Determining Coal Miners and Survivors Entitlement to Benefits
|Abstract: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) of 2010 amended the Black Lung Benefits Act, 30 U.S.C. 901 to 944, to reinstate two methods of establishing entitlement that were repealed with respect to claims filed after 1981. Specifically, the PPACA reinstated 30 U.S.C. 921(c)(4)(presumption of total disability or death due to pneumoconiosis arising out of coal mine employment where the miner had 15 years of coal mine employment and proof of total disability) and 30 U.S.C. 932(l) (automatic entitlement to benefits for eligible survivors of miners who were awarded benefits based on lifetime claims). The newly amended statutory provisions apply to claims filed after January 1, 2005, that are pending on or after PPACA's March 23, 2010, enactment date, and to all claims filed on or after March 23, 2010. This final rule will define the class of claims affected by the amendments and set the criteria for establishing entitlement to benefits under the amendments.

No. 1: "Catwoman" - July 2004
Comic book superhero movies are almost guaranteed to be huge summer blockbusters. "Batman," "Superman," "Spider-Man" and even "Iron Man" have attracted audiences in droves.
Apparently, that doesn't hold true for "Catwoman," because this Halle Berry disaster has been skewered by audiences, critics, and we hear, even cats. The fact that it lost almost $60 million is bad enough. But what makes this movie our top pick for worst summer blockbuster debacle is that it really, really deserved it.
This film had no redeeming qualities whatsoever, except possibly for those viewers who enjoy a hot actress slinking around in a cat suit. But even those guys would have trouble recommending this film to anyone but their enemies. This is one movie that should have been scratched from the summer roster before it ever grew paws.

So if that pesky noise is coming from under your hood, be sure to get it checked out. And just hope it's not a problem related to our next selection ...
No. 2: Transmission problems
If you are driving a used car that has a lot of miles on it, a bad transmission may mean it is time to say goodbye.
Fixing a bad transmission is expensive because it involves opening the transmission up and rebuilding it.
If your car is frequently slipping when it shifts gears, it probably means the transmission is about to go.
"Even the cheapest option you would have is to take the entire transmission out and replace it with a rebuilt unit," said Larsen. "In a ballpark, a typical transmission is in the $2,500 to $3,000 range."
While the last thing you probably want to hear from your mechanic is the word "transmission," not all problems are huge, as our final selection will show …
No. 1: All problems not big problems
Your used car may have failed you on a road trip and left you stranded on the side of the road, but this does not necessarily mean it is time to take it down to the junk yard.
Electrical, battery and overheating problems frequently can be taken care of with relatively cheap and easy repairs to put you back on the road.
If your car overheats, it is usually something related to the engine cooling system. It could be something as simple as a leaky hose. But just be sure to resist the urge to drive your overheating car, or it could be the last trip you ever take in it, Larsen said.
Sometimes your car might die on the road and sound like it is out of gas when you try to start it even though it isn't. This could mean that the fuel pump has gone out. Depending on what kind of car your drive, according to Larsen, it can be very cheap or very expensive because some fuel pumps come as part of a larger unit.

Three witnesses granted immunity
STEUBENVILLE – The prosecution in the Steubenville rape case is expected to call the victim to the stand this morning when the trial continues at 8:30 a.m. before visiting Juvenile Judge Tom Lipps in the Jefferson County Justice Center.
On Friday, three eyewitnesses to the alleged sexual assault were granted immunity by Lipps in order for their testimony to be introduced in court.
Trent Mays, 17, of Bloomingdale and Ma'Lik Richmond, 16, of Steubenville have been charged with rape in connection with an incident involving an underage girl that allegedly happened on Aug. 11-12. Mays also faces a charge of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material for allegedly having a picture of the 16-year-old victim in an outgoing text message on his cell phone. Attorneys for both defendants have denied the charges.
Steubenville High School students Mark Cole II, 17, Evan Westlake, 18, and Anthony Craig, 18, all took the stand with immunity. They were represented by attorneys.
The prosecution is attempting to prove the victim was so intoxicated she couldn't have willingly consented to sex. The defense is trying to show the victim wasn't that intoxicated.
Testimony showed the victim, who lives in Weirton, was drinking vodka at the Belardine home on Wilma Avenue in Steubenville and became intoxicated. When that party was shut down, the victim was taken by the two defendants to the Howarth house on Westwood Drive in Steubenville, where she threw up at least twice. She then was driven to the Cole home outside Wintersville, according to testimony Wednesday and at a probable cause hearing held in October.
Cole said Westlake drove Cole's car from the Howarth house to the Cole residence. Cole said he was intoxicated and his keys were taken by Westlake. Richmond was in the front passenger seat, with the victim seated behind Westlake. Mays was seated next to her in the middle of the backseat with Cole seated behind Richmond.
Cole said he saw Mays insert his finger inside the victim and he shot a video with his cell phone.
He said the victim was speaking softly but the car stereo was turned up. Cole said the victim wasn't touching Mays.
At the Cole house, Cole said he saw Mays try to get the victim to perform oral sex on Mays. He said he saw Richmond laying beside the victim and, from the angle where he was standing, couldn't see exactly what was happening. He said Richmond had his hands in the victim's crotch area.
Cole said he eventually deleted the video from his phone.
On cross-examination, Cole said Craig came to the house but he didn't remember if he showed Craig the video.
Westlake said he saw the victim at the Belardine home and she appeared to be intoxicated.
Westlake, while driving Cole's car, said he heard a commotion in the backseat. He said he heard Mays and Cole laughing. He said he heard someone he thought was Mays say "get this," possibly referring to Mays telling Cole to record it.
At the Cole house, Westlake said he saw the victim naked on the floor in the basement.
Mays was beside the victim, smacking his penis off her side, Westlake said. Richmond was behind her and was putting two fingers inside her.
Westlake said he wasn't expecting to be seeing that and wasn't sure what to think.
When asked by the prosecution why he didn't stop it, Westlake said the act wasn't violent and he always pictured rape involving violence.
Back at the Howarth house, he said he recorded Michael Nodianos making the infamous12-minute video that was posted on YouTube. In the recording, Nodianos is seen making crude comments about the incident.
Westlake said he regretted making the video.
He said that decision "makes it difficult to face family and people who supported me all my life knowing what I had done."
Craig testified that he believed the victim was intoxicated. Craig said when he arrived at the Cole house, Cole showed him portions of a video he had shot in the back of the car.
He then said he saw the victim naked on the basement floor. He said he saw Richmond behind the victim on the floor but couldn't tell if Richmond was touching her. Craig said Richmond's face was in a position where he was looking between the victim's legs. He said Mays was pacing around the room.
Craig said he told them to stop but was told "not to worry," and that everything would be fine.
Craig said he saw Mays hitting his penis off the victim's side, and added he took two pictures of the victim,
When asked by the prosecution why he took the pictures, he said, "I don't know. It was stupid." When asked by the prosecution why he didn't go back to help the victim, Craig said, "I assumed they were going to put her to bed."
Craig said Mays sent him a nude picture of the victim on his cell phone the next day.
Farah Marcino, 16, a Steubenville High School student, said she talked to the victim at the Howarth house. She said the victim was intoxicated, and that she said she tried to convince her to go back with her friends to the Belardine house, but the victim insisted on leaving with Mays and Richmond.
She said she went to the Cole house with Cole and saw the victim and Mays on a couch covered with a blanket. Marcino said she spent the night at the Cole house, waking up around 7 a.m. or 8 a.m.
Mays sent a text message to Marcino that he only put a finger inside the victim and the victim performed a sex act on him, according to phone records obtained by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
Marcino said she had a Twitter conversation with the victim in the following days, and the victim said she believed she had been drugged the night of the alleged incident. The victim said tests came back positive that she was drugged, although no evidence has yet to be introduced confirming that.
Brittany Farinacci and Andrea Dennis, two BCI forensic scientists, testified about getting samples from evidence, including a blanket at the Cole house that contained semen samples, ready for DNA testing. Swabs were obtained from several suspects to be used as standards for the DNA testing, according to testimony.
Heather Bizub, a BCI expert in DNA testing, said three samples of semen were tested from the blanket. Two of the semen samples came back positive as coming from Mays. The third test was determined to be insufficient for DNA testing. Also, a single sperm cell was found on the victim's pants, even though the pants were washed and collected later from investigators.
Bizub said there was insufficient data on the pants to determine a source.
Jean-Philippe Rigaud, who had been the Steubenville Police juvenile detective investigating the case in its early stages before leaving to become a BCI special agent, reviewed the initial stages of the investigation and the evidence collected during his testimony.
The case is being prosecuted by the Ohio Attorney General's Office, which took over prosecution after Jefferson County Prosecutor Jane Hanlin stepped aside.
Rigaud said the victim and her parents provided some information about the case, including the names of people who may be involved. One of the suspects mentioned was Hanlin's son, Charlie Keenan. Rigaud said the investigation showed Keenan wasn't involved.
Rigaud said the investigation was difficult early on because the victim didn't remember what had happened.
By Friday evening, the prosecution had introduced 115 pieces of evidence.
Defense attorney Walter Madison, who represents Richmond, questioned Rigaud about Internet information that was posted from the beginning of the investigation and for months after. Madison said the postings were inflammatory.
Lipps said he didn't want to entertain gossip in the courtroom.
Defense attorney Adam Nemann, who represents Mays, told Lipps during the discussion on immunity for the testimony of eyewitnesses, that a civil lawsuit was imminent, and an attorney representing the victim and her family has been in the courtroom throughout the trial taking notes.
The prosecution is expected to rest its case after the victim's testimony this morning. The defense will then begin presenting evidence. Lipps indicated the trial may last into Sunday.

Federal court sides with environmental groups; FERC did not properly conduct environmental review
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a victory for environmental groups, a federal court ruled on June 6 that a federal agency ran afoul of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in granting certificates for the upgrade of pipeline projects in Northeast Pennsylvania and Northern New Jersey.
According to Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club, one of three environmental groups that brought the lawsuit, the decision means that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will have to do further analysis of the project, most of which is already complete and operational, and the Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (TGP) may have to undertake additional mitigation measures.
Specifically, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that FERC allowed for the "segmentation" of the review of the project. The court wrote, "On the record before us, we hold that in conducting its environmental review of the Northeast Project without considering the other connected, closely related, and interdependent projects on the Eastern Leg, FERC impermissibly segmented the environmental review in violation of NEPA. We also find that FERC's Environmental Assessment is deficient in its failure to include any meaningful analysis of the cumulative impacts of the upgrade projects. We therefore grant the petition for review and remand the case to the commission for further consideration of segmentation and cumulative impacts."
The three-judge panel was unanimous in the ruling.
Kinder Morgan, Inc. the parent company of TGP, responded with a statement that said, "We are reviewing the opinion and generally do not comment on pending litigation. However, whether the completed expansion projects are considered individually, as FERC did, or cumulatively, we do not expect any change in the ultimate conclusion that there was no significant environmental impact resulting from the projects."
The environmental organizations were nevertheless pleased with the ruling.
Maya van Rossum, the Delaware Riverkeeper said, "This is important vindication of the rights of our communities and environment to be honestly considered and protected by our federal agencies. FERC has been allowing illegal segmentation by pipeline companies for years, it has ignored the pleas of the public for equity and for honest review of impacts, and as such FERC has been complicit with the pipeline companies in their ongoing efforts to avoid the rule of law and to ignore the devastating impacts they are having on our environment, impacts that will harm not just present, but also future generations. It is rewarding that a federal court has finally held FERC to account."
The case was argued before the Court of Appeals by Delaware Riverkeeper Network attorney Aaron Stemplewicz, who said, "The D.C. Circuit's decision today should put other pipeline companies on notice that the practice of segmenting pipeline projects before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will no longer be tolerated, and that the cumulative environmental impacts resulting from these projects must be fully considered before a project is approved."
Tittel said, "This is the first time the court sided with the environment over a gas company, but more importantly it sends a clear message to FERC that they cannot ignore the environment. We see this as a critically important precedent that will now require FERC to look at the real environmental issues of the projects they review."
The third group that was part of the lawsuit was the New Jersey Highlands Coalition.
