Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Aug 20/12| For Immediate Release
Kevin Crowley, Director
Lori Chalmers Morrison, Associate Director
WATERLOO Wilfrid Laurier University has appointed distinguished humanitarian and medical doctor James Orbinski to the position of CIGI Chair in Global Health, starting Sept. 1, 2012.
Dr. Orbinski is a former international president of Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) who has front-line experience in complex humanitarian emergencies, from Rwanda to Somalia, Zaire and Afghanistan. As head of Médecins Sans Frontières, he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the organization in 1999.
It is a great honour and privilege to welcome James Orbinski to Wilfrid Laurier University, said Deborah MacLatchy, Lauriers vice-president: academic and provost. His tremendous passion, knowledge and wealth of experience will greatly benefit our students and build on Lauriers established expertise in international policy and governance.
In his new role, Dr. Orbinski will be affiliated with Lauriers School of International Policy and Governance, the Health Sciences Program in the Faculty of Science, and the Balsillie School of International Affairs. The latter is a highly regarded partnership involving Laurier, The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), and the University of Waterloo. In addition, Dr. Orbinski will serve as director of the Africa Initiative at CIGI and as senior advisor to CIGIs vice-president of programs.
"Laurier has a wealth of expertise, great faculty and wonderful students. I am thrilled to be joining this outstanding Canadian university, where I will work with others to develop a teaching, research and policy agenda around global warming and global health," said Dr. Orbinski.
Most recently, Dr. Orbinski was a professor at the University of Toronto Medical School where he served as chair of Global Health at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health. He was also a fellow at the Munk Centre for International Studies and practiced medicine at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. Among his many achievements, Dr. Orbinski is co-founder and board chair of Dignitas International, a non-governmental organization that performs health systems research and community-based care for people living with HIV in the developing world. This year, Dignitas is expanding research and scaling services for a population of three million in Malawi.
He is also a founding board member of the Global Alliance for TB Drug Development, the Stephen Lewis Foundation, and Canadian Doctors for Medicare.
Dr. Orbinski earned an undergraduate degree at Trent University before studying medicine at McMaster University. He later completed a masters degree in international relations at the University of Toronto.
Dr. Orbinski was head of mission for Médecins Sans Frontières in Kigali during the Rwandan genocide of 1994. He served as medical co-ordinator in Jalalabad, Afghanistan in the winter of 1994; as head of mission in Goma, Zaire in 1996-97 during the refugee crisis; and as medical co-ordinator in Baidoa, Somalia during the civil war and famine of 1992-93. He was international president of Médecins Sans Frontières from 1998-2001.
As head of the organization, Dr. Orbinski represented Médecins Sans Frontières on critical humanitarian issues in the Sudan, Kosovo, Russia, Cambodia, South Africa, India and Thailand, among others. He also represented the organization at the UN Security Council, in many national parliaments, and at the World Health Organization and the UN Refugee Agency. The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Médecins Sans Frontières in 1999 in recognition of the organization's pioneering humanitarian work over several decades.
Dr. Orbinski also chaired MSFs Neglected Diseases Working Group, which created and launched the Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative (DNDi). The DNDi is a global not-for-profit research consortia focused on developing treatments for tropical diseases of the developing world that are largely neglected by profit-driven research and development companies. Since its inception in 2003, the DNDi has engaged significant international advocacy for neglected tropical diseases (including for a Global Framework Convention on Research and Development). It has also developed and disseminated new treatments for Malaria, African Sleeping Sickness, and several other neglected tropical diseases. These new drugs are now available to millions of people. DNDi also has a development portfolio of 17 lead compounds targeting neglected diseases, including childrens formulations of Anti-Retro-Virals for the treatment of HIV/AIDS.
Dr. Orbinski has written a best-selling book, An Imperfect Offering: Humanitarianism in the 21st Century, and is the subject of an award-winning documentary film, Triage: Dr. James Orbinski's Humanitarian Dilemma.
He was awarded the Meritorious Service Cross, Canada's highest civilian award, for his work assisting the injured and bearing witness to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. He is an Officer of the Order of Canada and a member of the Order of Ontario.

Cantu, who was third in the chain of command with the department prior to the recent resignation of Chief Deputy Russell Swize, declined to comment on the pending complaint currently under investigation by County Attorney Herb Hancock.
The Karnes Countywide also reached out to Vidaurri, who works as a bailiff during meetings of Commissioners Court but phone messages left were not immediately returned.
Karnes County Sheriff Dwayne Villanueva told The Karnes Countywide in an interview last week that he was aware of a complaint that had been brought to the attention of the county attorney, but any comment regarding the complaint would be more appropriately be made through the county attorney's office.
County Attorney Herb Hancock said the complaint was written by an attorney representing Scott Hall. The Karnes Countywide reached out to Hall for comment, but Hall, whose phone number is not listed, has not yet responded to a letter sent to his mailing address seeking possible comment regarding the issue.
Hancock said his office could not release a copy of the complaint at this time, but the complaint was based on an incident related to the sign-in sheet at a meeting of Commissioners Court.
"The allegations were not specific as to which deputy or bailiff it was," Hancock said, noting that he was in the early stages of investigating the incident.
"He (Hall) alleged an assault," Hancock said. "That they put their hands on him. From what little I know about it at this time, there didn't appear to be an assault. The main issue had to be around the sign-in sheet and the fact that they talked to him about that sign-in sheet for some reason."
Hancock said some changes had been made in regard to the sign-in sheet, which he said would no longer be required. He said cameras and microphones would also be installed in the room where Commissioners Court meetings take place. One of the security persons present at the meetings, Hancock explained, will be required to use a handheld camera whenever any incident occurs during a meeting.
Neither of the officers' employment status has changed as a result of the allegations, according to Hancock. Both remain on active duty pending the outcome of the investigation.
"His main concern, I think, was just that no one be intimidated from coming to Commissioners Court," Hancock said. "I think the sign-in sheet was a big deal and we just eliminated it."
Hancock said the sign-in sheet is not a requirement listed under the rules of procedure, conduct and decorum for Karnes County Commissioners Court. The Texas Open Meetings Act does not require members of the public to sign in at open meetings, he added.
Hall's wife, Shanna Hall, described the recent incident as "harassment" during public comments she made at the July 31 Commissioners Court meeting.
"I hope that no citizen goes through being harassed and threatened as happened with my husband at the last public meeting," Hall said. "He was obviously threatened with being arrested for not signing in to the public meeting. This is not required by the Texas Open Meetings Act -- to sign in."
The incident caused a disruption to the July 22 meeting when two officers approached Hall in what appeared to be an effort to get the man to sign the sign-in sheet.
"He is harassing him," County Treasurer Vi Malone said in response to County Judge Barbara Shaw taking note of the disruption. "Because he doesn't want to sign in for a public meeting."
"I think that is ridiculous that your bailiff is harassing a citizen of Karnes County when he doesn't want to sign in," Malone continued. "We need to find some criminals to look after, not an inocent man trying to listen to a meeting."
Shanna Hall, also spoke to the court during the disruption.
"I have been coming to these meetings for years and I have never signed in," Shanna Hall said.
The county treasurer tried again to intervene on Hall's behalf when the two officers continued with their efforts to get Hall to sign in.
"Tito, you need to let it go," Malone told the bailiff.
Karnes County Judge Barbara Shaw responded to questions about the sign-in sheet by email Monday.
"There has always been a sign-in sheet," Shaw said. "I don't know who made the decision to have a sign-in sheet. That was done before my time."

Skip to comments.Rick Perry: Americans should be 'unhinged' by decision to reject Keystone pipe path
Posted on 01/18/2012 9:46:14 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife
..."It doesn't surprise me but it's again -- the president's focused more on the next election than on the next generation.
"Getting this country independent of foreign sources of crude from countries that are not our friends is really problematic. So this Canadian oil, there's a possibility we could lose it to China with that decision so I hope Americans will really become unhinged with that decision because it is a really bad decision for our country, for energy independence and sends a horrible message at a time that were headed to $4 and $5 oil or excuse me $4 or $5 gasoline, to have a neighbor who's willing to sell us crude that is available."

The Perry Economic Plan: Cut, Balance and Grow
[snip] Dynamic Tax Score for RickPerry.org, Inc. Proposal:
Based on the higher GDP estimates forecast by the dynamic scoring exercise, the Perry proposal will not only lead to an increase in overall economic activity and jobs, but will also lead to higher federal revenues in the long term. In fact, the analysis suggests that revenues could be as much as $406.8 billion higher than under the static model by 2020, and could be as high as 19.5 percent of GDP.
The dynamic score of the proposal suggests that lower flatter taxes could generate both more revenue than the current tax code, and significantly more economic growth over time. With increasing demands on the Federal government from growing entitlements, higher pension expenses and interest on the debt, it will be necessary to increase the size of the economy and the tax base in order to generate significantly higher revenues. Table 7 shows how the Perry proposals would do this over a seven year period. [snip] Tax Proposal Score PDF
Rick Perry speaks to a supporter at a barbershop during a campaign stop in Pickens, South Carolina January 9, 2012
—Americans should be 'unhinged' by decision to reject Keystone pipe path—
I think those paying attention pretty much are.
Too bad the "paying attention" section is so small.
—Too bad the paying attention section is so small.—
Why do you think Obama is president?
I feel like a Jew in early 30's Germany.
Hey, it was reported today that 48% think Osama is doing a wonderful job. We are doomed.
Obama doesn't know what the hell to do with Newt...but you can be sure Obama is plotting....and it's dirty.
That number was once in the 60s who thought so.
There is hope.
The problem is that Romney is beginning to pull away in polls among Republican primary voters...
He appears to be strengthening. The non Romneys appear to be weakening...whether individually or as a group.
And no, that is not Rick Perry's fault nor his supporters fault.
I thought Gov. Perry did great in Monday's debate. I wouldn't mind seeing him surge.
Hell, he's even run a campaign against David Axelrod and won.
Currently our redistricting map here in Texas is tied up in the Supreme Court (this will bump Texas out of the Super Tuesday vote) and our Photo Voter ID Bill is sitting on Eric Holder's desk, awaiting his approval.
Add approval of the Keystone project to your day 1 list !
Even the unions are pissed about this...enough to be running radio ads about it.
The country would have a reprieve if Perry could get a foothold and battle Obama and then the K-Street-Wall Street gang. It would be something. But that is why he has been alternately attacked and ignored — the powers that be are not going to give that control up without a knock-down, drag-out battle.
Santorum does not have a good conservative voting record and yet both are polling better than Perry. I don't get it.
We say we want another Reagan and yet we're rejecting him.
And I think it will end as badly for us as it did for the Jews in Germany if it goes any longer than this year.
Sadly, I think the die is cast and the course set is not reversible without disaster. We are headed for the big rocks now.
Of the current field of pubbies only Gingrich understands how critical the situation really is and only with the help of an excellent VP and a willing congress can any of his ideas be executed to completion in time to do any good.
"I feel like a Jew in early 30s Germany".
...great analogy! I'm sure it was a tad worse for a Jew in the 30's but we're getting there.
Tyrants usually speak ahead of time about their intentions.
It's sunset in America with the leadership we now have. "Leadership" in our party sit on their hands not endorsing the strongest candidate, the governor of Texas who has the platform and the record. I guess the Party has no time for conservatives.
The answer is to ignore the media - they can have all the dirt they want - screw'm - we just don't listen - whether it's true or not! Voters react to what they hear - we can see it in the polls - it's nuts! mitt with his lying ads and the candidate drops accordingly. They are using voters as fiddles. They must be laughing their butts off! Probably taking bets on the side.
January 13, 2011 West Virginia: Agency Revokes Permit for Major Coal Mining Project WASHINGTON The Environmental Protection Agency revoked the permit for one of the nations largest mountaintop-removal coal mining projects on Thursday, saying the mine would have done unacceptable damage to rivers, wildlife and communities in West Virginia. It was the first time the agency had rescinded a valid clean water permit for a coal mine. .
I'm not blaming it on leadership. I'm blaming it on the voters. All of us have the opportunity to vote for him, yet for some reason they choose to ignore the opportunity they have before them.
Romneys Troubling Appointments (Mitt's environmental policy team now works for Obama) ."EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson has taken most of the fire from Republicans as her agency rolls out a slew of controversial new climate and clean air rules. But [Gina] McCarthy, the EPA assistant administrator of the Office of Air and Radiation, has taken on much of the heavy lifting of writing, structuring, and implementing the rules.
Lisas the coach and Ginas the quarterback in the work of rolling out new clean air regulations, said Daniel Weiss, an energy and climate policy expert at the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank with close ties to the Obama administration. Shes running the plays, improvising on the line.
Another Romney environmental adviser in the effort to regulate greenhouse gases is now Obamas Director of Science and Technology Policy, John Holdren. Dr. Holdren has some exotic views:
You know, the IMPORTANT things.
Well that's easy. We vote for the debating champion. Real substance is not really a factor anymore!
Good hair and a smile are very important; substance much further down the list.
"Another new measure made tightening air quality permits on the oil and gas industry more difficult. That law, which Perry signed in June, requires the Texas environmental agency to analyze the effect of new regulation on the economy - including how it might hurt a company - before implementation. The economic impact could override the environmental benefit of the new regulation. The new law reflects Perry's contention that global warming is a questionable theory and that regulation always creates an adverse business climate." Perry Slashed Environmental Enforcement in Texas
Dec 30, 2011: Statement by Gov. Rick Perry on Court Order to Stay Cross State Air Pollution Rule Gov. Rick Perry today issued the following statement regarding the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals' decision to grant Texas' request for a stay to the Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR):
"Todays court decision to stay the implementation of the CSAPR is a preliminary step in the right direction to end the job-killing mandates passed down by the Obama Administration and the unelected bureaucrats at the EPA. The court was right to stay this highly flawed, job-killing rule that was based on inaccurate and incomplete information. Texas will now have a chance to discuss the devastating impact that this rule will have on our state's economy and electric reliability an opportunity that we were not given by the Obama Administrations out of control EPA when they adopted the rule."
Yes. The frogs in the warming "hot tub" are content.
Now that would be a great spoof video to do. Use the Reagan ad as a template; but everything is the opposite in the spoof video with Obama as the star.
"It's sunset in America."
"Too bad the paying attention section is so small."
Well, from what I'm picking up, the only thing that really matters is stopping Romney, so they'll vote Newt because he doesn't need a teleprompter. It was he who allowed the Conservative agenda to come to a screeching halt when he was compromised and potentially blackmailed, by Clinton. They became friends. Today news says Clinton says there is absolutely no difference between Romney and Newt. But real issues like the the pipeline and jobs and the economy? Can we just move along? Governor Perry is just so, you know.
Oh. Were we looking for someone like that?
Some of us were.
Silly, huh?
Now, if it's true that Republicans select their candidate based on who ran before and whose turn it is now, then we're looking at our NEXT nominee, as well as our current one.
That pretty much describes how I feel too. I have a sinking feeling of deja vu, reliving 2008 all over again. Accelerating and pressing on even harder now to finish my survival prep, it's going to be a rough ride.
Glad I'm old and got to live my youth back in the good ol' USA - I'm afraid I won't live long enough to see those days again.
I feel like a Jew in early 30s Germany.
I actually coined that phrase in the early 1990's. People do not fully grasp that, though the Jews had no say in things, much of the world heralded what Adolf was doing for his nation and pulling it out of the pit in which it found itself.
But the Jews had no say, and this, as time marched on, escelated, culminating in the great evil we are all aware of today.
Interestingly, though, Stalin killed more Jews than did Hitler.
But I digress. What I noticed in the 90's and is screamingly obvious today, is that I am completely out of touch with American culture. It was only exacerbated by my eliminating TV from my life in 1997.
But it has given me clarity. It is why, in 2008, I bought a small farm in rural Kentucky and, in 2010, moved there from my home of 45 years, Seattle. It doesn't guarantee safety, but it mitigates the risk. And it really will get VERY ugly this year and almost certainly throw the world into a very nasty hot war.
Just like the seemingly benign early 30's Hitler eventually did.
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.
I guess this is where the historians come in. Maybe things are no worse now than 100 years ago or some other time frame.
Like Twinkies and Ding Dongs going bankrupt. Hey, did Zero bail them out too?
Rush just went into this in some detail and quoted Perry at length.
Oh, yeah, Obama hates and fears Rick Perry because he knows Rick Perry will fight him.
He's one of the few who's already done so.
I wish people would wake up and realize that Perry is the candidate we should be rallying around. This is exactly what Perry needs to continue doing. Attack obama. Rise above the fray of the other infighting. Come across as the statesman and three term governor that he is.
I truly believe that. It's a vast left wing conspiracy.
If Perry could somehow move past Santorum in SC, he would have a clear road ahead.
I just heard Hannity say that Rick Perry is going to be on his radio show "later" and that Karl Rove also will be on today to help "sort it all out"......... as in, kick Perry in the balls again. Nice going Sean. Nice going Karl. [scorn ahead of their Hannity-Rove act that isn't fooling anyone]
Hannity is a worthless suckup.
Yes. He certainly is — sad he's lost his roots.
I agree with all you just said.
Rick Perry would never ever stop this pipeline. He has spokenn of how important drilling is in his plans. Perry would fix everything if people would just wake up and see he is the only conservative to vote for.
Perry needs to call a press conference and blast Obama. He needs to do something to get attention on this issue and it could create the surge he needs!
Perry is the only Washington outsider I trust to reduce the size and intrusion of big government!
If he was president, Perry would have approved the pipeline in a heartbeat!

When did you offer the following foods?
Raw veggies?
Apples WITH peels?
Tortilla Chips?
Nursing the girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Mama to Daniel (12/3/06) and Lucy Jane (8/28/08)
don't tell but popcorn was one of the 1st things my kids had.
Hubby would sit in the chair.
And as soon as they could get over to him he would give it to them....
I didn't like it but that wasn't a battle I was willing to fight and they are all still alive.
RAw veggies are sort of tricky, the are so hard they were older when they tried them. With teeth.
oh and apples with peels we had one of thoose things that cuts wedges and my dd would just eat the apple part and spit out the peal
She still does it with some apples it drives me bonkers...
DD has already had popcorn, apples with the peel on, and tortilla chips. Not sure when I'll do raw veggies, but it'll be a while on the nuts and seeds due to allergies.
When did you offer the following foods?
Popcorn? - Not yet, mainly because I'm not a fan.
Raw veggies? - Carrots, zucchini at about 18 months? Guesstimate.
Apples WITH peels? - From the very beginning. We used to peel them but she prefers to eat the skin.
Tortilla Chips? - DH gave her some at 19 or 20 months. I'm not a fan of THAT.
Nuts? - Aside from peanut butter she has had no nuts, unless you count the sliced almonds that garnish my banana bread or that I put in the oatmeal (while it's cooking to tenderizer them a little). She's also had cashews - crushed, in a pilaf that DH makes - again added while cooking. I'm wondering about the nuts myself as I love almonds and she is majorly interested in whatever we're eating. This is the one thing that I will not let her have...too afraid she will choke.
Seeds? - only what the put in the granola or flaxseeds. This was recently for the granola.

One-handed typer Extraordinaire!
My body creates, houses, nurtures and nourishes life. That is awesome.
Kegel Kop says: TIGHTEN UP!
Popcorn? Nope - doesn't have much "food value" and we go for calories around here.
Raw veggies? Don't remember. We did BLS and DS has taken bites of my food pretty much since the beginning.
Apples WITH peels? From the beginning. If DS didn't want to eat the peel he'd spit it back out into my hand.
Tortilla Chips? Probably around 18 or 19 mo.
Nuts? Nope - DS allergic to tree nuts & peanuts
Seeds? Nope - DS allergic to sesame and avoiding all seeds
(Lyn - you've already done flax, I think. That's a seed.)
DS1: bf 7/2006 -> 4/2009; multiple food allergies
DS2: bf 9/2009 -> ???; multiple food allergies

Thanks! I guess what I mean by nuts and seeds are just offering them whole, as a snack. Like almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc.
I think our issue is, Daniel is going through a phase where he takes BIG bites. Today he choked and gagged on a piece of apple. So hard foods scare me cause hes a bit of a rush-eater lately and perhaps isn't chewing as well as he should.

Wow...that took up a lot more space than I envisioned.

DD2 - 8/6/07 Breastfed for 3 whole years and 3 little, extra days.
Popcorn? Around 18 months. Delicious and nutritious when made with coconut oil .
Raw veggies? Starting around 9 months, as teethers and then continuously as she wants.
Apples WITH peels? Again, when I intro'd apples, around 7 months, but she usually eats round the peel (excpet on yellow apples when she can't actually see it.) I think she learned it at the babysitters, because we eat the peels 'round here .
Tortilla Chips? I'm not sure, but it was a while ago.
Nuts? We started nuts around 14 months.
Seeds? Around the same time as nuts.

It amazing what a, difference, punctuation makes don't, you think?
Even though Nvidia Corp., one of the largest suppliers of GPUs in the world, is providing some kind on reimbursements to those, who suffered from the problems with failed Nvidia GeForce-based notebooks, it looks like not everyone is happy. Apparently, Nvidia only provides inexpensive notebooks even to those, who acquired business-class laptops.
"Nvidia is trying to issue one size fits all cheap economy class Compaq notebook computers to all afflicted HP owners no matter the specification or equipment installed on the afflicted owner's notebook. The disparity ranges from $100s to $1000s of dollars and is clearly a violation of the good faith intent of the judge's order," a person, who suffered, said in an e-mail to X-bit labs.
Nvidia insists that its actions are everything, but correct.
"Nvidia is complying with the Court order to fund repairs of existing consumer computers. In HP's case, they said they could not repair [customers'] computers because while Nvidia could supply them replacement processors, HP said they could not obtain all the other parts necessary for the repairs. So Nvidia is funding several options for replacement computers for HP consumers. Although we do not feel there was one exact cause of this problem, Nvidia has stepped forward and worked with our customers who provide the computer systems to provide remedies where we can," said Ken Brown, a spokesperson with Nvidia.
While the issues with Nvidia's GPU are known and admitted by the Santa Clara, California-based company, builders of actual systems could have provided decent solutions since they are responsible too. In fact, Nvidia provides different options to purchasers of failed notebooks. Unfortunately, the program works only in the U.S.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Obito is fav.
because his ability's are more unique then Madara's.
now is madara but when obito was tobi he was cooler.
Cool ?
Madara. He just sat back and enjoyed the show.
They're both cool in their own ways
Obito back in the day was awesome, what with the whole Rin dying and his combat style and all, all of the emotion involved with his character is just amazing.
Madara on the other hand is a legend, and legends tend to get fans excited.
I would say that Obito beats Madara out by a hair but Madara is still very very cool
Seating casually when the most OP thing in the NV awakens requires a certain level of coolness, even if you're immortal.
obito seems cool :D
madara is badass.
Madara is definitely "cooler" in a sense of calm an confident. Obito trying to destroy the world because of a girl is really cliche and lame. I loved the way he fought in 605 though.
Obito is cooler
Madara because he dropes meteores from the sky
Tobi is cooler
Obito. Hope this doesn't make me some sort of fan, I just like him.. That's all.
Obito, in my opinion.
Madara is strong, he's a beast and he can fodderize just about anyone but that doesn't make him cool. His motives are selfish and hate based.
Obito on the other hand; his motives are based on something he wants more then the world itself. He just wants a world with Rin and Kakashi where Kakashi didn't just break their promise, but killed her himself. His motives are fueled on love. He will do ANYTHING to the world he inhabits currently to make this happen, and I think that's pretty cool.
Madara is cooler because he is a zombie and he was no blood flow therefore he is naturally cooler than obito. :p
Obito. But not because he is special. It is because Madara is boring as ****.
This is Cooler
and he is more badass then both obito and madara
But really, madara's "I don't care" demeanor is really cool, but obito is much more relatable
Originally Posted by peteriscoo

LOL that was funny.
Obito was cooler with his mask, without it, he is just a whiny little, trash talking *****.
when he was Tobi he was straight up bawssss

Wheeling officials discuss wastewater plant
WHEELING – Councilwoman Gloria Delbrugge, Wheeling Jesuit University biology professor Ben Stout and city resident Tom Triveri are among those strongly opposed to GreenHunter Water's plan to recycle natural gas drilling wastewater in Warwood – but company officials contend the water they want to ship via barge poses less of a threat than other potentially hazardous materials transported on the river every day.
Representatives of the Texas-based company met with Wheeling officials Tuesday morning to discuss the company's plan, which they expect will create 15 temporary construction jobs and 12 permanent jobs. Earlier this month, the company announced its acquisition of the former Seidler's Oil Service property on North 28th Street for $750,000, as well as plans for $1.7 million in new construction at the plant, which the company wants to be operational by fall.
City Manager Robert Herron described Tuesday's discussion as informal and "a good exchange of information," but said it's too early for the city to take a position on the project.
"Everybody had an opportunity to kind of hear what the project was about. The information that we were told today we'll certainly research … and be prepared with any formal questions once they submit their zoning application," Herron said.
The property already is zoned for industrial use, but GreenHunter Water must file paperwork with the city to ensure all aspects of its plan conform with the zoning code. It also must obtain a building permit.
City representatives at the meeting included Herron, City Solicitor Rosemary Humway-Warmuth, Assistant Director of Planning and Economic Development Tom Connelly and representatives from the building inspection, water and fire departments. Ohio County Emergency Management Director Lou Vargo also attended.
"I think it was very productive. I think we explained pretty well what we're trying to do up there," said John Jack, vice president of business development for GreenHunter Water, regarding Tuesday's meeting.
But Jack believes the public has misconceptions concerning the company's proposed operations. He said GreenHunter Water is not seeking a permit to discharge anything into the river, and is confident safeguards to contain spills that otherwise could result in accidental discharge into the river meet all state and federal environmental regulations.
The U.S. Coast Guard is reviewing whether barges should be permitted to transport frack water on inland waterways. Opponents are concerned a river accident involving those barges could pose a threat to drinking water, but Jack said potentially hazardous substances such as petroleum and hydrochloric acid are shipped on the Ohio River every day.
GreenHunter Water officials also believe accidents are less likely to occur during barge shipping than during truck transport, and shipping the material by river will reduce the strain heavy trucks cause on area roads.
Following Tuesday's meeting with city officials, Jack explained the process GreenHunter Water plans to use to recycle frack water. After the wastewater arrives by truck at the Warwood facility, it would be piped into the 11,000-square-foot treatment facility and put through a "vibration filter" system.
That process leaves behind the suspended solids in the form of a "thick slurry," according to Jack, which is then compressed into a "cake material."
The water that is pressed out of the slurry during that phase is then pumped back through the plant's filtration system, and the separated solids – including salt, sand and chemicals used in fracking – would be transported by truck to Waste Management's facility near Parkersburg.
The treated water would be stored in 19 tanks with a collective storage capacity of 798,000 gallons. Because wastewater disposal is more complicated in the Marcellus and Utica shale regions than in places where there are more deep injection wells – Texas, for example – the demand is greater for a way to recycle wastewater for use in future fracking operations.
Companies that bring fluid for filtration and do not want to re-use it have the option of having it sent downriver to GreenHunter Water's New Matamoras, Ohio, storage facility, and from there to one of several deep injection wells nearby.
Concerning measures to prevent accidental discharge into the river, Jack said any spills would be captured by drains located around the property that feed into a 1,200-gallon underground storage tank, with a shutoff valve designed to keep water from overwhelming the underground system in the event of a more serious problem – such as failure of a tank. From that storage tank, spilled water would be piped back to the intake area for filtration.
According to Jack, containment around the storage tanks would be sufficient to handle more than 46,200 gallons of spillage, equal to 110 percent of the facility's largest storage tank, as well as 4 inches of rainwater. Although there would be 19 tanks on the site, Jack said he could conceive of no situation other than deliberate sabotage that would result in the failure of more than one tank at a time.
"Anywhere that a truck is offloading has containment," Jack added.
Several city officials said they had heard nothing about GreenHunter Water's plans until reading about them in The Intelligencer, but Jack said there was no effort to conceal anything from the city. As a publicly traded company, he said, GreenHunter Water had an obligation to inform its shareholders of its plans and was preparing preliminary drawings to submit for the city's review at the time of that announcement.
Jack also addressed public opposition to the company's activities elsewhere, particularly a February demonstration at its New Matamoras storage facility that resulted in 10 arrests after about 100 protesters stormed the facility, one chaining himself to a 30-foot pole and others attempting to clog toilets in the building, according to police. Jack acknowledged people are entitled to express their opinions, but he said the New Matamoras demonstrators went too far.
"I believe in the First Amendment. … You don't have the right to storm our facilities and put my people in harm's way and cause property damage," he said.
Jack said the plant should not have any effect on the Wheeling Heritage Trail, which runs between GreenHunter Water's property and the river. Although the strip of land between the city's Heritage Trail and the river is zoned for residential use, Jack said GreenHunter Water has a 40-foot-wide easement that crosses the trail and plans to use the existing pipe system that runs beneath it to load treated water onto barges.
"In essence, the (trail) will not be affected at all," added architect Michael Scott.

Mount Pleasant, Utah (KSTU) -- A mother claims an exploding e-cigarette set her son's car seat on fire, causing first- and second-degree burns to the 3-year-old's body.
"Seeing your child on fire and hearing them scream 'Help me!' is pretty terrifying," Kinzie Barlow told Salt Lake City TV station KSTU.
Barlow was driving in Provo with her son, Khonor, on Friday when she noticed a strange smell.
"Then there was a big bang, and kind of a flash, and there's smoke everywhere," she said.
Barlow said her e-cigarette had exploded in its charger, shooting out a white-hot copper coil that bounced off the ceiling and landed in her son's car seat. She says the coil had burned through the fabric cover and melted the hard plastic, sending flames shooting up the little boy's body.
"He was screaming and saying, 'Mom, get me! Get me!," Barlow told KSTU.
She tried smothering the fire with her shirt sleeve, but that also caught fire, so she grabbed an iced coffee from the front seat and poured it on Khonor, dousing the flames.
Provo Fire Marshal Lynn Schofield said he has no doubt Barlow's White Rhino e-cigarette exploded, saying it's the second such incident in Provo.
He planned to call the Consumer Product Safety Commission on Monday.
As for Barlow, she told KSTU she will never buy another e-cigarette again.

Report: Apple's A5X Beats Tegra 3 in Graphics, But Not in Pure CPU Performance
Jason Mick
March 19, 2012 12:10 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: iFixit)
Benchmarks show Apple's chip is generally the more fit competitor, however the Tegra 3 still manages to impress
Apple, Inc.'s (
) new iPad 3 processor, the A5X, has been pitted against a top-of-the-line Android chip from NVIDIA Corp. (
), the Tegra 3 in the real world. The Tegra 3 is found in
the Transformer Prime
, the flagship Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) tablet from ASUSTEK Computer, Inc. (
Early reviews
analysis commentaries
from various parties were rather light on hard performance numbers for the CPU. But the folks over at
Laptop Magazine
a full set of CPU and GPU benchmarks on the iPad 3 and evaluated how it performed versus the Tegra 3.
In GLBenchmark 2.1, the A5X is a beast. Apple's tablet system-on-a-chip (SoC) is thought to pack a PowerVR SGX543MP4+ (the same chip found in the Sony Corp.'s (
PlayStation Vita
). Apple wasn't kidding when it said the chip
was four times as fast as the Tegra 3
. In a huge win for Imagination Technologies plc. (
), the GPU is actually close to
5 times
as fast as Tegra 3's GeForce derived mobile GPU.
[Image Source: Laptop Magazine]
Ironically, while graphics veteran NVIDIA languishes in graphics, it hits back equally hard in the CPU department. The Tegra 3 outperformed the A5X more than 2-fold in the GeekBench benchmark, which examines various CPU performance metrics. The only victory for Apple came in the stream test.
[Image Source: Laptop Magazine]
Overall, these results are not surprising. Both the A5X and Tegra 3 use the licensed Cortex-A9 design from ARM Holdings Plc. (
). And the A5X has two cores, while the Tegra 3 is a quad-core design. Now, the comparison isn't exactly apples and apples, as the Tegra 3 in the Transformer Prime is clocked at 1.3 GHz, where as the iPad's chip is clocked at 1 GHz. Thus the A5X may be actually a bit more efficient on a per-core basis, albeit weaker overall in raw power.
A handful of games such as Shadowgun and RipTide are using the Tegra 3's extra computing muscle to pull off slick effects like physics and reflections. While the iPad 3 lacks these niceties, it does offer much crisper rendering, thanks to its higher resolution 2048x1536 pixel screen. That's a lot of pixels, hence the need for that beefy GPU.
The iPad 3 (right) reportedly offers a crisper image, but the Tegra 3 powered Transformer Prime (left) offers better lighting and fix-driven objects like the flags hanging overhead.
[Image Source: Laptop Magazine]
In terms of gaming the iPad 3 and Transformer Prime seem to be neck and neck -- the iPad 3 offers gaudier resolutions, but the Transformer Prime offers unique visual effects in certain apps.
ASUSTEK is also hoping to level the playing field a bit with its coming Transformer Prime "Infinity" (TF701), which sports a 1920x1200 pixel resolution, up from the current model's 1280x800. The real question is what GPU will be inside that. After all, the Tegra 3 doesn't seem like it has the muscle to power that high a resolution display. One has to wonder whether ASUSTEK won't jump ship to a new PowerVR equipped SoC to quench its mobile graphics thirst.

"Then they pop up and say 'Hello, surprise! Give us your money or we will shut you down!' Screw them. Seriously, screw them. You can quote me on that." -- Newegg Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng referencing patent trolls

JONESBORO, Ark. – Coach Paul Petrino saw one of the best efforts by his young team Saturday evening at Arkansas State but there still were too many mistakes as the Red Wolves won 48-24.
"We just started executing better," Petrino said of a second-half surge by the Vandals that had them to within a touchdown as the fourth-quarter unfolded. "The second half, we started making plays, executing better. The plan was similar. We just executed better."
Senior James Baker had the best night of his career with 23 carries for 150 yards and two touchdowns – an effort that drew praise from Petrino.
"James had a good game," Petrino said. "He did some good things for us. We have to keep building on that."
After trailing 31-7 early in the third quarter, the Vandals started a surge. First was Austin Rehkow's 28-yard field goal to cut ASU's lead to 31-10 with 7:09 left in the third. Then they used the momentum of a Trey Williams' interception to score on a 15-yard pass from Taylor Davis to Dezmon Epps with 4:09 left in the period. A key third-down stop on the Red Wolves' next possession forced a punt and the Vandals took over on their own 26.
Key runs by Baker and timely passes by Davis had the Vandals at the ASU 1 as the third quarter ended. Baker converted from inches out with 14:22 left in the game and, with Rekhow's successful PAT, the Vandals trailed by just one TD, 31-24, as the fourth quarter opened.
But then came the play that put the Vandals in too deep a hole. ASU's J.D. McKissic returned the ensuing kickoff 98 yards to push the Red Wolves back out by two TDs.
"That kick returned killed us," said Petrino, who shouldered the blame for allowing the kickoff to go to the fleet McKissic. "That's my fault for kicking to him."
ASU took control early in the game.
Idaho fell behind early on a pair of quick TDs by the Red Wolves after drives stalled and the defense stumbled. The Vandals' first drive was hurt most by a high snap that Chad Chalich, who left the game in the first quarter, wound up covering for a 10-yard loss, while the second ended with a pass that was high on third-and-one.
Meantime, Arkansas State went to the air to score on an 80-yard pass and a 13-yarder for a 14-0 lead with 7:54 to go in the first quarter.
The Red Wolves made it 17-7 on a Brian Davis field goal with 6:43 left. ASU was forced into the fourth-down situation when linebacker Matt Willis caught Adam Kennedy for an eight-yard loss.
The Vandals did respond when they made the most of a short-field opportunity when the defense held on fourth down to give Idaho the ball at the ASU 42 with 3:11 left in the first. After a loss of one by Baker, Taylor Davis found Deon Watson for a 39-yard pickup to the ASU 4. After a no gain, Baker went across from the four with 1:29 to go. Austin Rehkow's kick was good to cut the lead to 14-7.
"It's still a process," Petrino said. "We have to be a lot more consistent; keep improving."

John, I see the trunk lid striker plate is painted. I guess in '69, or sometime before, the process was changed to install it (and adjust likely) prior to paint? My '67 is not painted.Mike

City Manager Deborah Ballí announced to the City Council last week that the city has turned on the water at that subdivision.
The area has been trying to get onto the city's surface water system since the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality informed the owners of the Blueberry Hill Water Works that the well water being provided to residents there exceeded the state's limit for arsenic.
The project has required the sale of bonds and construction of new pumping facilities.
The City Council was able to justify the improvements because the additional pumping equipment also has improved water pressures on the city's extreme west side.
Water works owners have been installing new pipelines in the area and preparing to connect to the city's 18-mile water line coming from the George P. Morrill, I Water Treatment Plant at Swinney Switch.
Ballí also announced to the council that the combined water levels at the Choke Canyon Reservoir and Lake Corpus Christi are at 77.3 percent.
Recent rains on the lakes' watershed are expected to improve that situation.
In other business, the council voted to:
— Authorize the closing of several blocks of city streets on Oct. 20 for a 5K fun run during the Bee County Western Week Celebration.
— Approve the installation of a three-color LED lighted sign to be installed for the Beeville Volunteer Fire Department at the corner of North St. Mary's and West Cleveland streets.
— Accept a letter of engagement from the auditing firm of Collier, Johnson & Woods for the city's upcoming audit.
— Approve the establishment of a tax abatement for Ranch Hand, Inc. The company manufactures pickup and truck accessories and is hoping to expand its operation in Beeville.
— Adopt a property tax rate of 0.58105 per $100 of valuation for fiscal year 2012-13.
— Authorize additional work to be done on repairs of the wastewater paddle aerators at the city's treatment plant at a cost of $27,346.
— Approve a line item adjustment to the sales tax revenue budget to pay a $14,500 bill from Allison, Bass & Associates for redistricting services.
— OK a $39,610 payment to HDR Engineering for work performed on a study of groundwater sources.
— Amend a personnel policy allowing only department heads to drive city-owned vehicles home and to authorize incentive pay for city employees who obtain commercial driver's licenses, for obtaining certifications and licenses and for on-call pay.
— Approve 2012-13 budgets for hotel and motel tax funds, street maintenance funds and debt service expenses.

Is that exactly what he says or just the spin you would like to put on it?
He talks about poorly thought through expansion clubs and to be honest just because they are expansion clubs doesn't mean that they weren't poorly thought out.
A failing expansion club such as Quins probably does the image of our game more harm than it does good. It certainly does more than anything else to give the impression that RL is simply a northern game as it struggles so badly in the south.
Face it, if Quins were a northern RU club we would be laughing at them, claiming it proves that the north doesn't want RU.

Hallo its Michela again from Italy, the one translating the marketing book. First of all, Id like to thank the people who helped me with the Rodney Dangerfield quotation.
I have other queries:
-what is a thought leader? I understand what it means literally but nothing else!
-in Italian there is only one word for president and chairman: can anyone explain the difference?
- industry best-practices information. ???????????
- run-rate ???????
- addressable: this word is not present in the European English-Italian (and viceversa) dictionaries I have, what does it mean?
- print fulfillment: no idea of what it is, it should be an additional service companies provide.
- A whole sentence now: Playgrounds are like the proverbial camels, known in the old joke as horses designed by committee. I suppose this joke (??) does not exist in Italian
- Who or what are Kiwinians and Elks?
Thanx a lot

I think you might be best looking for some kind of dictionary of marketing terms - I would think that such a book exists. Jargon is used so much in marketing and it is very fast moving.
-in Italian there is only one word for president and chairman: can anyone explain the difference?
I think it is just a regional variation. In the UK a company's board would be lead by its chairman. In the USA I think president is used more often (maybe because it has more status, it also has the benefit of not being gender specific). I'm willing to be corrected on this.
- industry best-practices information.
This is just jargon for finding put what is the norm in a given field/what works best.
- addressable
Perhaps it means the kind of leaflet or piece which leaves a space for the address so it can be sent out easily - you will probably have to look at context.
- print fulfillment
Just jargon for the whole process of producing print (posters, leaflets, direct mail letters) and, more importantly making sure they are distributed (direct mail, leaflet distribution)
- A whole sentence now: Playgrounds are like the proverbial camels, known in the old joke as horses designed by committee.
Perhaps because the Italian government (as an example of a committee) rarely lasts long enough to design a camel (joke??). The image is of a committee setting out to design a horse. Because committees are better at incorporating everyone's ideas than cutting out ideas the final product is a camel rather than a horse. You'd have to look at the context to work out why this applies to a playground, perhaps there are lots if separate things to do but it doesn't work together as a whole.
Hope this is useful.

Just to see if I can complement JMH's response.
'Run-rate' (and I'm presuming the context is not the game of cricket), will probably refer to the rate at which a process runs, or takes place. If printing, for instance, the 'run-rate' may be 20,000 copies per hour.
'Best practice' is, as JMH said, about norms, but implies that there is some way of gathering information on the various 'most efficient' practices of the various organisations in an industry and coming up with a norm for which practice is best in which situation of circumstance.
I could be a great deal more prolix (on camels, horses, committees and playgrounds) but I'll spare you...

A president presides over meetings and decisions of a board (or country); a chairman (chairwoman, chairperson) usually assumes command of a smaller committee. In the case of Chairman Mao, he took full command of the party and thereby the lesser-powered president of the country's governing body.

Week-end Book Review: Taka-chan and I: A Dog's Journey to Japan by Runcible by Betty Jean Lifton, photography by Eikoh HosoeSaturday, December 22nd, 2012
Review as part of our current theme of Cats and Dogs in Multicultural Children's Books
Betty Jean Lifton, photography by Eikoh Hosoe,
Taka-chan and I: A Dog's Journey to Japan by Runcible
New York Review Children's Collection, 2012 (reprint of 1967 edition)
Ages: 5+
Illustrated with luminous black-and-white photographs by the art photographer Eikoh Hosoe and inspired by her experiences in 1960s Japan, Betty Jean Lifton's wry and witty 1967 Taka-chan and I, is, happily, back in print.
Hosoe's photographs of adorable 5-year-old Taka-chan with Runcible, Lifton's Weimaraner-narrator, evoke a fabled timelessness. (Children and parents may recognize his name as Edward Lear's invented adjective.) Runcible lived in Japan with Lifton and her husband, psychiatrist and writer Robert Jay Lifton. His story begins on Cape Cod (US), where a particularly enthusiastic dig in the sand takes him far underground with no way home. At long last he discovers that he's dug his way to Japan. The photograph of him emerging from the sand nose-to-nose with Taka-chan, bowing from the hip to greet him, is priceless.
Taka-chan is being detained by the Black Dragon. Ominous images of girl and dog in his shadowy "palace" create suspense; the dragon is later revealed to be an elaborate sculpture (embodying, folk-tale fashion, the dragon spirit). He's peeved that Taka-chan's disloyal fishing village has ceased to feed dragons who protect the fishermen, but if by sundown Runcible places a white flower before the most loyal person in Japan, Taka-chan will be free. Runcible negotiates: Taka-chan escorts him on his mission.
Off they go, Taka-chan in a little straw hat and pinafore dress. In busy Tokyo, they are separated. Runcible looks for her in the Emperor's gardens, then gets fed at a sushi shop. A deer tells him the most loyal person in the land is Hachiko, the dog who returned daily to Shibuya Station for a decade after his master's death and whose statue commemorates his loyalty.* Dog and girl are reunited, flower is bestowed, girl is released, and eventually Runcible loyally digs his way home to his own master.
Lifton's story is a delightful take on the traditional Japanese folk stories she loved; Hosoe's images imbue her text with magic. Taka-chan, in a summer kimono, feeding Runcible with chopsticks at a formal low table in a tatami room, is unforgettable, her gesture and expression as ingenuous as Runcible's soulful look. A photograph of the author, photographer and dog at the back of the book accompanies amusing brief biographies of each. Taka-chan and I is a classic to be cherished for generations.

*Hachiko's story became a Japanese film in 1987; a 2009 adaptation for American audiences starred Richard Gere.

- Title
- Galactic bulges from Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS observations: central galaxian objects, and nuclear profile slopes
- Author(s)
- Balcells, Marc; Graham, Alister W.; Peletier, Reynier F.
- Abstract
- We have measured the central structural properties for a sample of S0-Sbc galaxies down to scales of similar to 10 pc using Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS images. Central star clusters are found in 58% of our sample. Their near-infrared luminosities scale with the host bulge luminosities, as reported in 2003 by Balcells and coworkers. In terms of photometric masses, the relation is M-PS = 10(7.75 +/- 0.15) (M-bul/10(10) M-circle dot)(0.76 +/- 0.13). Put together with recent data on bulges hosting supermassive black holes, we infer a nonlinear dependency of the 'central massive object' mass on the host bulge mass such that M-CMO/M-circle dot = 10(7.51 +/- 0.06)(M-bul/10(10)M(circle dot))(0.84 +/- 0.06). The linear relation presented by Ferrarese and co-workers may be biased at the low-mass end by the inclusion of the disk light from cluster lenticular galaxies. Bulge-disk decompositions reaching to the outer disk show that similar to 90% of our galaxies possess central light excesses that can be modeled with an inner exponential and/or an unresolved source. All the extended nuclear components, with sizes of a few hundred parsecs, have disky isophotes, which suggest that they may be inner disks, rings, or bars; their colors are redder than those of the underlying bulge, arguing against a recent origin for their stellar populations. Surface brightness profiles ( of the total galaxy light, and the bulge component on its own) rise inward to the resolution limit of the data, with a continuous distribution of logarithmic slopes from the low values typical of dwarf ellipticals (0.1 <= gamma <= 0.3) to the high values (gamma similar to 1) typical of intermediate-luminosity ellipticals; the nuclear slope bimodality reported by others is not present in our sample.

Expert Q & A Answers About yeast infection causes
Am I giving my girlfriends yeast infections from oral sex?
I'm a guy and I'm concerned that I'm passing yeast infections to my female partners. Over the past several years, I've had three girlfriends and they've all come down with yeast infections at some point during the relationship. My current girlfriend got a yeast infection after our first sexual contact (I gave her oral sex). Could I be the cause?

"The work of priestly formation these days must involve a strong catechetical component since so many of our people have been deficiently formed. The resources you provide are allowing the Church to do a better job in preparing Catholics to know and defend their faith more effectively."
"Deviating from faith, they are implicated in the darkness of perpetual blindness, although they have the day of Christ and the light of the Church before them; while seeing nothing, they open their mouth as if they knew everything, keen for vain things and dull for things eternal."

Our program offers a broad-based core that combines the study of music history, music theory and performance. With the guidance of accomplished professors, many of whom have performed nationally and internationally, you'll hone your skills through serious, sustained and comprehensive musical training. We take pride in the hard work of our students and the high degree of rigor in our courses.
As you complete your degree, you'll participate in various collaborative activities, ensembles and numerous performance opportunities both off-campus and in our on-campus impressive performance halls, including the stunning Crimi Auditorium. During the summers, our students can participate in the Music by the Lake festival at our George Williams College campus in Williams Bay, Wis.
You can choose between keyboard and vocal studies within the Bachelor of Arts. In both studies, you will complete at least 120 semester hours total in general education and music courses.
Bachelor of Arts in Music
The degree offers students the flexibility for students to combine music with another major and to amplify and define the degree with elective courses. The program includes:
- 51 total semester hours of required music courses, including:
- Seven semester hours in applied music
- Eight semester hours of ensemble
- For pianists, one semester hour of Choral Ensemble and MUS2300 Accompanying (1)
- For vocalists, two semesters of Applied Piano Study (.5 hours each) or placement by instructor permission.
Minor in Music
The minor offers opportunities for individual instruction, participation in ensembles and a solid foundation in music theory. The minor includes
- 20-24.5 total semester hours of required music courses, including:
- 12 semester hours of foundation courses

With military commissaries closed, local businesses that deliver food and beverages are affected.
Armstrong Produce in Mapunapuna says 20 percent of its business goes to the four Hawaii commissaries. They bring in food from the mainland every week and have extra shipments in the warehouse.
Workers have stopped making deliveries, but Armstrong Produce officials say the company now has extra products they need to unload.
"We are trying to step up our sales effort to places that buy our products taht should have gone to the commissaries," said Tisha Uyehara of Armstrong Produce.
Another company, Paradise Beverages, says its $1.5 million in sales to commissaries each year is also taking a hit. A company official tells KITV4 he hopes the government shutdown ends soon so business can resume to normal.

Statewide College Goal Sunday Event on February 10 to Help West Virginia Students and Parents Apply for Money for College
CreatedMonday, January 14 2013
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
The third annual West Virginia College Goal Sunday (CGS) event will be held at several sites around West Virginia, including Bluefield State College on Sunday, February 10, 2013. The BSC event begins at 1 p.m. in the W. Paul Cole, Jr. School of Business/Mahood Hall on the Bluefield State College campus.
This event is an opportunity for students and parents to have financial aid experts provide free assistance in filling out the 2013-14 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the cornerstone of the higher education financial aid application process.
The FAFSA is a crucial first step for all college students who plan to pay for college with the help of grants, scholarships, work-study funds and/or student loans.
Individuals who plan to attend college and would like help with completion of the FAFSA or would like answers regarding general financial aid questions are encouraged to attend. Interested students and parents are asked to bring their Social Security numbers, 2012 Federal Tax Return, W-2, other income records, driver's license and other valid ID to the session. Each family who completes the Student/Family Survey during the CGS event will be eligible to register for an iPAD giveaway. The more income information that families can provide, the more likely they will be able to submit their FAFSA on the day of the event. Additionally, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) will be available to provide information and assistance regarding tax preparation. All information shared is protected by privacy laws. To register and learn more about College Goal Sunday and specific time and site information, visit: www.cfwv.com.
This year's College Goal Sunday efforts in West Virginia are coordinated by the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission, the West Virginia TRiO Association, and the West Virginia Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators with funding by a grant from the Lumina Foundation.
Individuals interested in learning more about College Goal Sunday at Bluefield State College are encouraged to contact College Goal Sunday site coordinator Dr. Sarita A. Rhonemus (firstname.lastname@example.com 304-327-4096) or co-coordinator Mr. Michael E. Goins (firstname.lastname@example.com 304-327-4327).

September 2013, TruckingInfo.com - Feature
by Deborah Lockridge, Editor-in-Chief
- Also by this author
A dual-fuel conversion system can offer some of the fuel- and emissions-saving benefits of a natural gas engine without going out and buying a brand-new truck.
Recent changes in Environmental Protection Agency rules that went into effect in 2011 made it easier for companies to certify conversions that allow diesel engines to burn a mixture of natural gas and diesel fuel. They may displace 50%, 60% or more of the diesel fuel with cleaner-burning, cheaper natural gas.
One of the key benefits of these systems is if a truck needs to run in an area where there is not a natural gas fueling infrastructure, the truck can run on straight diesel fuel.
Here are some of the companies offering these systems:American Power Group
Before getting into the U.S. transportation market, APG offered dual-fuel systems for stationary power generation and for transportation uses in other countries. It has teamed up with the WheelTime network to help it market and install its Vehicular Turbocharged Natural Gas System. In addition, Ervin Equipment and Fitzgerald are providing glider kits with APG's dual-fuel system. APG has EPA certification for more than 200 engine families.www.americanpowergroupinc.comClean Air Power
Clean Air Power is a UK firm that is bringing its Genesis-EDGE Dual-Fuel conversion unit to the U.S. It's working with UPS to put the system on 10 Mack MP8-powered tractors for fleet testing. Clean Air Power also has a Caterpillar C15 system that can be fitted to existing trucks or to new trucks using a glider kit. www.cleanairpower.comEcoDual
The EcoDual MAX/SR system enables heavy-duty diesel trucks to displace an average of 60% to 70% of their diesel fuel use with natural gas. MAX/SR is available for Cummins ISX engines produced from 2004 to 2009. EcoDual is working on certification for other engines. www.ecodual.com
Converting to 100% natural gas:
Omnitek Engineering Corp. offers a diesel-to-100% natural gas system. "Diesel dual fuel is an exciting prospect, however, success and customer acceptance is limited," the company says. "The promise of 50% to 60% diesel replacement is very attractive, but in reality savings in dollars will be more like 15% - 40% range."
The system converts existing in-use diesel engines into compressed natural gas or liquefied natural gas – at a fraction of the cost of new engines, Omnitek says. It has more than 5,000 engine conversions worldwide but is still getting ramped up in the U.S. So far it has certification for the International DT-466 and says it will have approvals for several more engines by the end of this year and into 2014.
Omnitek is working with the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency for a pilot project to demonstrate its diesel-to-natural gas engine conversion technology for drayage trucks serving the Port of Seattle, Wash. www.omnitekcorp.comLearn more about alternative fuel conversions at www.epa.gov/otaq/consumer/fuels/altfuels/altfuels.htm
I Ford F350 7.3 diesel. I would like to know if there is a system available to make my diesel operate on Natural Gas.
Ted, I just did an article on a dual-fuel system for heavy diesels, but the company (American Power Group) does not make one for light diesels. A contact at APG said that if there is a kit available, it'd probably cost way more money than you'd ever save in fuel. It might reduce smoke, but again, it'd be a very expensive way to do it.There might be a conversion out there but I can't find one. I checked with NGV America's website, which includes a link to a long list of NG kits (http://ngvamerica.org/pdfs/availablevehiclesandconversions_130920_final.pdf). Under Ford, only gasoline engines are listed.
One of the major issues I find with The use of CNG is the diesel fuel acts as a lubricant as well as being burned as fuel CNG has much less lubricating properties than diesel, what is going to be the long range costs associated with shortened engine life and down time of equipment? What is the the effect on manufacturer's warranties? A dual fuel diesel engine would need more than an addition of CNG manifold, it also needs added engineering to the engine's lubrication, regeneration and likely other systems that were designed to operate within the specifications that were engineered to be efficient under the operating conditions for diesel not Compressed Natural Gas.
