Leaves can be home composted or you can sign up to our garden waste collection scheme.
Instead of throwing leaves away or burning them, which is bad for the environment, spread them around bushes, under hedges and on bare earth. By next spring the worms will have composted them to produce rich, fertile soil. Alternatively put them into a leaf mould bag or a black sack with some holes punched in. Water them liberally, tie up the sacks and leave them in a corner of your garden. A year later you will have a superb leaf mould.
Energy-saving light bulbs can be recycled at Slyfield Community Recycling Centre. Although they are initially more expensive, they last a lot longer, use less electricity and are far more economical in the long run.
Fluorescent tubes can also be recycled at Slyfield Community Recycling Centre.
Unfortunately the old-fashioned style light bulbs cannot be recycled. Please do not put them in glass recycling banks. Put them out with your normal refuse, wrapped so as not to cause injury to the refuse collectors.
Please double wrap clean linen in a couple of tied plastic bags and place next to your green wheeled bin for kerbside recycling or take to a recycling bank.
Many charity shops also accept linen.

Current Student-Athletes
More than 460,000 NCAA student-athletes – more than ever before – compete in 23 sports every year. Slightly more than half of those student-athletes are men, although the gap between the numbers of male and female student-athletes has decreased over time and there are currently more women's teams than men's teams.
Our members support their student-athletes' academic success by providing state-of-the-art technology, tutoring and access to academic advisors. More than eight out of 10 student-athletes will earn a bachelor's degree, and more than 35 percent will earn a postgraduate degree.
Graduation rates for student-athletes as a group are higher than those of their peers in the general student body. Two-thirds of former student-athletes agree that playing an NCAA sport helped prepare them for life after graduation. In addition to practicing, competing and studying, student-athletes give back to their communities through volunteer service and national charity partnerships.

Virginia Congressman Urges Al Gore to Enter '08 Race
Controversial Virginia Democrat Rep. Jim Moran has said that former veep Al Gore should run for president in 2008. "I'd like to see him get into the race. He won the popular vote in 2000, and I think he's even stronger and more committed. But you know, he's got his own life and it's his decision to make." Moran made his comments recently on C-SPAN's Washington Journal.
While we on this blog couldn't agree more with Moran, the 8-term congressman is no bastion of credibility and respectability. He was one of 31 House Democrats to vote with Republicans to conduct impeachment hearings on Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal. He's also been scrutinized for pushing for the bankruptcy reform bill after a major credit card issuer gave him a large home equity loan. Moran also supported CAFTA; and was skewered for his pre-war comments in 2003 that "If it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war with Iraq, we would not be doing this. The leaders of the Jewish community are influential enough that they could change the direction of where this is going, and I think they should."
And for the "I shit you not" file, Moran once famously duked it out with indicted former Congressman Duke Cunningham outside of the Capitol building and had to be separated by Capitol Police.
As we've said countless times on this blog, Gore is the best, most electable candidate the Democrats have. His major appeal stems from his impressive resume and White House experience; his successful economic track-record; his pro-environment position; and his early opposition to the Iraq war. He did win the popular vote in 2000 when America was a much different place, coming off of terrific prosperity and relative peace throughout the world. And, he'd be sitting in the Oval Office right now had it not been for the political chicanery of the Jeb Bush Gang and the Supreme Court.
Gore's been front and center on the speaking circuit, and has been the most vocal, outspoken and passionate critic of the Busheviks. In 2006's age of war, economic turmoil, global warming, natural disaster, and political cronyism and corruption, Gore's message resonates.
He's recently reaffirmed that he's not entering the race, though many in and outside the Beltway believe he's likely running, instead waiting for a groundswell of grassroots/'netroots support before officially declaring his candidacy. He recently joked in Florida that he's "a recovering politician." Let's just hope he doesn't take too long to recover.

Is there any way to upload attachments and then use them in forum topic entries? I would like to be able to include images in my entries.
Is there any way to upload attachments and then use them in forum topic entries? I would like to be able to include images in my entries.
Hi Fannar, can you describe what you mean here? To include an image in your forum entry, use the "Insert/edit image" icon on the entry editor:
I'm talking about the API. I want to create a forum entry like yours with image inline through the API, not using the editor.
We do not support this explicitly, but it can be done. If you look at the source code for that image above, you'll see that it's represented as an attachment resource:
<img src=" [/attachments/token/d8xiapybjpnz8dq/?name=tiny-mce-image-attach.jpg](view-source:https://support.zendesk.com/attachments/token/d8xiapybjpnz8dq/?name=tiny-mce-image-attach.jpg)" border="0" alt="tiny-mce-image-attach.jpg" />
Using our attachments API, you can upload your attachment and compose the URL with the token that is generated via the attachments API and the filename which you provide when uploading.
Good point. Thanks!
What about non-image attachments, like pdf or word files?
In the end they're all just files, so this will work with any file format.
So I uploaded an attachment by POSTing to http://bigtent.zendesk.com/uploads.xml?filename=test.pdf
Response content length: 115
<uploads token="r4mri2avmp48zzj">
Then I figured out the download URL would be
but that gives me a 404 response. Was that the wrong URL for the download?
Also, can I send files compressed with gzip and get them decompressed on your side? That way, uploads will be smaller and faster.
The token returned by the attachments API is for a batch upload. It allows you to associate multiple images with a single entry/ticket. I have yet to find a way to get the attachment token using the API which means you can't insert images into the content area unless you do it manually.
Here are some solutions I found while poking around -
1) You can point to an attachment using /attachments/{id} rather than /attachments/token/{token}. This makes it possible to construct a url using the data returned after uploading an attachment using the API.
2) Although undocumented, you can get info on an attachment from /attachments/{id}.xml. The returned XML contains the token for the image.
Only predicament with this approach is that it then still shows the list of attachments at the bottom of the article. When the images are already shown, it is not required to show the attachment list as well. Is there a way to not show the list of attachments ?
I have yet to find a way to do hide attachments.
Thanks for the feedback Trevor. You guys at screensteps have done an excellent job in implementing the discussions in this forum. It is *much *easier to use screensteps to prepare forum content, as opposed to entering it with the online zendesk editor.
Regarding the undocumented APIs that Trevor is alluding to for getting details of an attachment as well as deleting them, we are planning on documenting those.
Willem - To hide attachments I am going to upload the attachments but not associate them with the post using the "uploads" node. The forum entry will display the images inline but will not show the images as attachments. I believe this means the images won't be deleted if you delete the entry using the web interface though.
How are you finding the attachment ids or even the token for an attachment that's previously been uploaded to a ticket/comment? Once the id/token is known, retrieval would work a treat but I can't seem to locate either.
In my case I'm the one uploading the attachments so I get the ids/tokens at upload time.
So, if end users are creating tickets through the web interface, there's currently no way to find the URL of attachments for those tickets.
Not that I am aware of.
Hi all, just as a followup - attachments seem to be available within the comments node of the xml.
I would like to do the opposite. I plan to store a lot of pre-written PDF help files for customers in the agents forum so that an agent can search for a possible answer to a customers problem. It would then be good if they could attach the relevant PDF to the customer reply directly from the forum. Or is there a better way of doing this? I only want to send it to customers after it has been confirmed what the problem is.
Hey Ian:
There's no way to attach a file that exist in the forum directly to a ticket. I'd suggest compiling a list of those documents/links to those documents in a forum, allowing your agents to quickly copy/paste the link in to the ticket. If they want to attach a document, they'll need to manually upload it to the ticket.
Hey Justin:
Thank you. I like the idea of adding the links rather than the documents as it means that if they are updated the current one will always be used (as long as the name is the same). Thanks again Justin.

figure skating
Adrianna Phillips moved away from home to chase her figure skating dreams.
She came home this weekend to try to realize one of them.
The 15-year-old Moose Jaw figure skater finished fifth in the Pre-Novice category in the Skate Canada Saskatchewan Sectionals at the Pla-Mor Palace this weekend. That qualified her as an alternate for the provincial team at the Skate Canada Challenge in Regina from Dec. 5-9.
The fifth place finish put her teasingly close to earning one of the four full spots on provincial team to test herself against the best skaters in the country in her category.
"There were 28 girls in her event, so coming in fifth was a nice accomplishment for her. It's great," said David Schultz who, along with his wife Vicki, coaches Phillips in Medicine Hat.
"It's a bittersweet situation where you're an alternate for the goal of the season — we wanted to get to the Challenge."
Phillips skates with the local Prairie Edge School of Skating, but moved to Medicine Hat at the end of the summer to train full time.
Phillips first skated with Schultz in the summer of 2011. She went back to Medicine Hat for seven weeks this past summer and decided to stay. She lives with the Schultzes and their two kids.
"We've made a big commitment to her and she's made a big commitment to us," said Schultz. "Adrianna impresses me every day. She's a disciplined kid. The maturity that she has shown at such a relatively young age, she definitely impresses me."
Phillips has seen her skating improve since moving west. She said her jumps are more consistent and her skating component scores have improved.
"It's been good, but it gets hard," said Phillips of being away from home.
Friday, Phillips put together her best short program of the season, but didn't skate the long program as well as she would have liked.
"I felt that my short program was quite good, but my long has been better recently," said Phillips.
If one of the other four provincial team members is injured or sick, Phillips could see herself skating at the Challenge.
Even being in Regina and around the competition should be a good experience for her.
"I'll get the feeling of it and hopefully it helps me prepare for next year," said Phillips.

Staff Picks Playlist (September 3)
The end of this past work week unfortunately brought us into September, but with it came a couple of hotly anticipated releases we can't complain about, even if the months are getting colder. The two big releases of this past week belonged to Isaiah Rashad, with The Sun's Tirade, and Travis Scott's Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight. The two projects differ greatly in sound and style, with Travis being a more experimental rapper and Isaiah keeping that true hip-hop feel alive and well. They both have that Kendrick Lamar feature on deck, though.
Stream IAMSU!'s New Album "6 Speed"
Bay Area emcee IAMSU! always does it for the fans, and today he uploaded a new project to Spotify (and TIDAL) called 6 Speed. Drawing at least a bit of inspiration from his 2012 project $uzy 6 $peed, the 10 song 6 Speed is classic IAMSU! Think upbeat, Bay slappers with slick flows and rapid-fire wordplay. Su doesn't stray far from his formula, but there's little reason to do so when the formula is so good.
Stream Show Banga's New Album "ShowTime 2"
On Friday, Bay Area rapper Show Banga released his 15-track sophomore album ShowTime 2. It is partly a tribute to his father, ShowTime, a hustler and businessman from the storied Fillmore district of San Francisco who taught him from a young age how to earn money and hustle in the independent music game.
Iamsu! Says He "Fully Lied" Concerning Frank Ocean Album Tweets
Yesterday Iamsu! appeared to be -the man-, basically insinuating he had a role to play in Frank Ocean's highly anticipated album Boys Don't Cry, which we know little about, save for the fact that it might be dropping in July.
Iamsu! Says Frank Ocean's New Album Does Not Disappoint
Frank Ocean's name recirculated public consciousness this past weekend when the singer hinted heavily that a new album, BOYS DON'T CRY, would be dropping in July. The hint came via Frank Ocean's official website, with an image suggesting his album's due date is July 2016.
Hey Mama: Ty Dolla $ign, Wiz Khalifa & Others Reveal Their First Big Purchase For Their Mom
Mother's Day has always been one of our most cherished holidays. How do rappers celebrate their mothers? We asked 13 rappers what they bought their mom after they received their first big check. See how they showed their mommas love below and be sure to let your mom know you love her today. *** Ty Dolla $ign "After receiving my first big check, I bought my mom some diamonds and helped fund some updates for her house. I still contribute each day, just so she knows that my appreciation for her has no end."
Stream Iamsu!'s New Album "Kilt 3"
Iamsu! just dropped his new album Kilt 3. It follows up 2015's Biggie Smalls with Aka Frank, but is the successor to 2013's Kilt 2. The Bay Area emcee keeps the features light this time, only inviting HBK Gang family to hop on the mic (except for his collaborator Aka Frank)
Staff Picks Playlist (January 15)
This week, as you probably noticed, the VERY HOTTTTTs were killing it, and no, we weren't just in a giving mood, there was just a lot of fire music dropping. Not only that, the songs lists were phenomenally long each day (who peeped our Snapchat?). All this to say, everyone should have a song they were fucking with this past week.
Iamsu! Reveals "KILT 3" Cover Art & Tracklist
Iamsu! has been sprinkling his Soundcloud with loose records these past few weeks, seemingly warming us up for KILT 3. It looks like it's finally time, or at least, almost time, for KILT 3.
Iamsu! Announces "I Love My Squad" World Tour
Iamsu! has some hits under his belt and has proven himself as a live performer, so it's about time he set out on a headlining world tour. Today, Su! hit us with some dates for the I Love My Squad tour, which will find him bringing fellow West Coasters, Bobby Brackins, Nic Nac, and Show Banga on a number of dates through Paris, Hollywood, Sydney and more.According to the poster (shared on Instagram), there are still more dates to be announced. Here's hoping that Canada and the east coast get some love as well.
Stream HBK Skipper's New Album, "The Thrill"
Skipper has always been one of the most consistent members of HBK, but he's generally operated just below the radar compared to the crews biggest names. His new project, The Thrill, could bring the rapper into the lanes of Iamsu and Sage The Gemini, as he continues to fine-tune his incredibly catchy brand of West Coast-infused rap. Kool John, Jay Ant, CJ, and Dave Steezy, show up as features, while the and the aforementioned Su provides production among the likes of T-Scoob, Trauma Tone, and Shonuff.
Stream The New Iamsu! EP, "Eyes On Me"
Iamsu! is headed out on his Eyes On Me tour later this year, and while he already has plenty of material to perform, from his 2014 debut album, Sincerely Yours, to his large catalog of mixtape work, the Bay Area rapper has decided to share one more project before he takes off.
Iamsu! Announces "Eyes On Me" Tour With Rome Fortune
This morning Iamsu! announced a new tour, "Eyes On Me," which will find the West Coast native teaming up with Rome Fortune from down south. The two rappers will be linking up for tour dates across the United States, starting out with Los Angeles on March 26th. Iamsu's "Eyes On Me" tour will keep him occupied for a good two months, with dates kicking off at the end of March and running until May 8th, where the final tour date wraps up in Phoenix, AZ. They're covering as much ground as possible on the tour, from the West Coast to the Mid-West to the South.
Ticket Giveaway: Downtown Fest With Iamsu! & Tink In NYC
Downtown Festival is about to takeover New York City, with the impending festival kicking off on October 2nd and running until October 4th. While the NYC edition of Downtown Fest is not entirely dedicated to hip-hop, they've recruited two buzzing hip-hop artists this year for two different shows.
Jamie Foxx, 2 Chainz & DJ Mustard Sued For "Party Ain't A Party"
Just a week ago, Jamie Foxx, 2 Chainz and DJ Mustard linked up on a song called "Party Ain't A Party" that, in addition to sharing a name with a '90s hit, may be a complete rip off.
G-Eazy, E-40, IAMSU! & Jay Ant Announce "From The Bay To The Universe" Tour
G-Eazy won big this year with his album These Things Happen, and now he's taking his show on the road in a 31-date tour called "From The Bay To The Universe." Accompanied by E-40, IAMSU! and Jay Ant, the rapper, toted as "USA Today's Hottest College Ticket" in his press release, will being the tour on October 21st in Sacramento, CA.
Charts Don't Lie: May 25
This week we're seeing how a little bit (or a lot, rather) of media coverage can go a long way. While we have new entries from Michael Jackson (Xscape) and Iamsu! (Sincerely Yours), we're also seeing a few classic albums re-enter the Billboard 200, plus there's the aftermath of the Solange/Jay Z elevator blow out.
Review: Iamsu!'s "Sincerely Yours"
It only took one day for Iamsu!'s debut album, Sincerely Yours, to reach iTunes' top album charts, a feat which is, quite frankly, surprising. Though the album is not a flop, it's not a work of artistic genius either. There is nothing about this album that differentiates it from his previous seven albums, and many of the songs on it sound alike.
Stream Iamsu!'s Debut Album, "Sincerely Yours" In Its Entirety
HBK Gang releases really sneak up on you. Sage The Gemini's debut album seemed to come out of nowhere, and now Iamsu! has dropped his brand new 19-track effort on us without warning.
Crew Love: HBK Gang
HBK (Heart Break Kids) are a crew from the San Francisco Bay Are who count rapper/producer Iamsu! as their de facto leader. Formed in 2008 by Su and producers Chief and P-Lo, the crew went on to add Sage The Gemini, Skipper, CJ, Rossi, Dave Steezy, Jay Ant, Kool John and the production team The Invasion (consisting of Iamsu!, P-Lo, Kuya Beats, Jay Ant, and Chief).

Keanu Reeves went virtual in Johnny Mnemonic and The Matrix. Even further back, films like Tron or Lawnmower Man promised us virtual worlds. But for years, the promise of Hollywood paled in comparison to the reality of virtual reality. What we got instead of some alternate dimension were five-minute games at malls or amusement parks at 10 bucks a pop. Now Virtual Reality may finally be getting real. The Oculus Rift headset is betting on becoming the VR device for the masses.
"You have to have it very affordable and that's a key part of our strategy. We want to keep it in the same $300 range as the developer kit," says Brendan Iribe, CEO of Oculus VR. "We would like the consumer kit to be just as affordable and even more affordable over time." With costs low enough that the company is selling developer kits to game companies, it appears the futuristic tech is finally ready for the living room. As cell phones have grown more powerful, so has the power of smaller components. It was in this happy confluence that an engineer named Palmer Luckey saw an opportunity.
The Rise Of The Rift
"The fact that Palmer set out to do this, right at a time where full-screen smartphones became so popular, was that right-place-at-the-right-time moment," Iribe says. Perhaps it was just a matter of time until someone took the same handheld screen, same tiny processor, same accelerometer tech, and put them together to create the inexpensive VR that every geek has been waiting for.
In the past, virtual reality headsets were primarily the domain of military simulations. "The military wasn't demanding the VR companies to make their headsets for hundreds of dollars. If someone showed up with a new VR headset that was 5% or 10% better and it cost an extra $10,000, that was okay," notes Iribe. "There wasn't much of an incentive for those companies, which were living on those VR military contracts, to go out and make a product that was 100 times less expensive." Luckey pounced on making an affordable VR for the everyday gamer.
"Palmer, living in his garage and trying to make a VR gaming device, didn't have access to the expensive components. So he started taking apart cell phones," says Iribe. For two years he tinkered. He began showing off his prototypes in a forum for VR enthusiasts. In early 2012, Luckey found himself talking with John Carmack, the programmer behind Doom, the PC shooter game that launched the era of players exploring 3-D worlds on PCs and TVs.
Palmer sent Carmack his latest prototype. And then in June, the dominoes fell. "Palmer didn't realize that John Carmack was going to take that headset and a Doom 3 demo to the E3 convention and show it to the top 30 journalists at the show," says Iribe. "That kind of turned his world upside down." The news exploded.
A mutual friend introduced Iribe to Luckey, who was then looking for startup assistance. Iribe and his business partner Michael Antonov soon met with Luckey. "Palmer shows up with a bucket of wires and circuit boards," Iribe remembers. "At one point Michael picks up the headset, with all the circuitry dangling from it, and says, 'Well, it's certainly a startup.' It very much was this crazy looking thing at the time." In August, they launched their company Oculus VR and started a Kickstarter project, offering $300 developer kits.
Testimonials from respected PC game makers like Carmack and Valve's Managing Director Gabe Newell boosted the project's profile. They raised $2.4 million, while taking over 7,000 pre-orders of the dev kit. Since then, with additional pre-orders on the website, they have sold about 11,000 dev kits. Iribe expects that developer base to grow to between 20,000 and 30,000. "This is really just the beginning of VR working for the first time well enough for developers. Developers will make really cool experiences, but they are still just developer prototypes," he says.
Will Consumers Want It?
The initial run of kits ships next month. In this preliminary phase, game makers will get comfortable with the hardware, learn the software, and create games for the Rift headset. "Those developers are looking for feedback, to try to perfect the experience, get it consumer ready," Iribe says.
He remains worried about early adopters impatient for the VR tech at home. "I wouldn't set my expectation that this is going to replace my console or I'm going to buy one of these instead of a next-gen console, when it's only a developer kit," he says. But fans will benefit from the dev kit program. Beyond creating actual content to play, the dev kits will help create the consumer version of the Rift.
After they have collected that feedback and tweaked the consumer version, Oculus faces a bigger challenge: getting the public to want the Rift. The idea of VR has been around for decades and the public may have some pre-conceived notions from film and television of what VR is. These notions have been tarnished by decades of waiting for home VR that is both effective and affordable. Iribe realizes that, "A lot of that VR baggage is from the '80s and '90s. Hardware wasn't ready 20, 30 years ago. You were just having Sega Genesis; Doom was barely running in a very low resolution. You just didn't have the computer power to run this very incredible VR experience. People's imaginations were just far ahead of actual technology."
Oculus Rift, then, has to appeal to the young consumers with little or no preconception about what "Virtual Reality" is. "What's the closest thing to the size and shape of this, that needs to go around your eyes?" Iribe asks, before answering his own question. "Ski goggles. Most of the gaming population could probably throw on a pair of ski goggles and not be too intimidated."
The consumer friendliness of the Oculus Rift may be the thing the turns it from a $300 gimmick to a viable part of PC gaming. Iribe is uncertain when the consumer version will become a reality. "We are confident we are going to get through them all and we will have a consumer version soon. But we just don't know what soon is—12 months? 24 months?" he says.
Peering Into VR's Future
But as he said before, that is just the start. "Resolution will go way up, comfort will improve, latency will go down, the overall experience will improve," says Iribe. "And it will continue to get more compatible with existing hardware, and we certainly hope it would be compatible with game consoles," he says.
By then the company may move beyond the headset. "Internally, we are really R&Ding a lot. Ultimately, when you can put on a headset and you look down and see a virtual body, you can see your limbs and you can move your hands and fingers, when that is brought into the virtual experience and you become the actual character of the game, that's going to be a huge fundamental shift," he says.
Iribe knows the impact more immersive game would have. "For the first time, you won't see the screen anymore. Something switches in your brain and anywhere you look, 360 degrees around you, you are in the game universe or even the architectural universe that you created. You are inside of it."

Going to other dojos
In one of his answers to my last post Greg mentioned going to seminars and other dojos.
Which reminded me of another question I have.
Can you go to any other dojos? Should they be of the same style you are training in? Do they need to be dojos that yours is affilliated with? Can you go to any seminars or do they need to be run by senseis in your affilliation? In karate we had to ask our sensei's permission to go to other dojos. Of course they were in our organisation and one was our sensei's parent club. Does it work the same way in aikido?
Re: Going to other dojos
Yes. But I will qualify that statement by saying that I think you should get a solid grounding in your dojo's methodology and practice before venturing out.
THen there are sub-issues -- another dojo in the same organization? Same style? Another aikido dojo from a different lineage (Tomiki vs Ki Society vs ASU vs USAF (E/W/MAF) vs independant vs? Related Japanese jujutsu systems (Daito Ryu, et al) ... etc etc. There are lots of flavors of aikido and they all offer something to learn.
If your teacher says no, you cannot, ever, ever, for any reason, any time visit and train with another dojo, find another teacher.
Should they be of the same style you are training in? Do they need to be dojos that yours is affilliated with?
Be easier that way,, but see above. Later in your training, you will certainly find it enlightening and challenging to train in other systems and with other organizations.
Can you go to any seminars or do they need to be run by senseis in your affilliation?
See above. Get a base, then when you start venturing outside your 'comfort zone' you can learn a lot (sometimes about the very things you do at home -- never discount the value of looking at a thing through a different perspective).
In karate we had to ask our sensei's permission to go to other dojos.
Ack! I can see informing your teacher that you are going and getting his or her thoughts, but to ask permission? No way.
Of course they were in our organisation and one was our sensei's parent club. Does it work the same way in aikido?
Some aikido teachers would have it that way, but IMNSHO, it's just wrong.
Like one of my students says: If all you ever date is your cousins, all the kids'll start looking alike after a while.
Re: Going to other dojos
Mostly aikido dojo are really good about welcoming visitors from out of town. Let me tell you right now that if you ever visit my area and don't stop in to visit, I'll be irritated.
Most aikido dojo will list a "mat fee" on a per visit basis for visitors. In my experience, it's usually waived, but be prepared.
Your instructor will have his own ideas about his/her students visiting other dojo. You should ask one of the senior students (sempai...there, that term should be familiar to you) about it.
How it works here is when I'm travelling on business, I find a dojo that I want to visit and my instructor calls them and asks if I could train there while I'm in town. If there isn't enough time for that, he gives me a letter of introduction that I present when I go to the dojo after calling and asking if I can visit.
Always _ask_ and be very polite. You'll have a hard time going wrong.
Most aikido styles (I'm growing to hate that phrase), don't have competition. We do have seminars and they're almost always open to all aikidoists. I'm looking at a flyer right now that says "All Aikidoka Welcome".
But that gets back to "ask one of your sempai" about the local custom.
It depends on the sensei/dojo. I was in one that required permission, and while the rule existed, it was expected no one would actuallyask permission to train in other Aikido dojos (one of the things that led to my being shown the door there:rolleyes: ). The others I've joined encourage their students to move around and explore---altough that is one thing I look for when choosing a place. This is not that those who are more restrictive are wrong or inferior, they are not, but it is just not my way of being. :confused: Just ask the sensei or a senior student what the dojo rules are.
Also, some dojos are not excited about hosting unexpected visitors (often the same ones that don't like their students wandering around from dojo to dojo). I find it best to call or write ahead to seek permission to train.
If the dojo is somewhat restrictive in visiting other places, your best bet is with another dojo in the same organization; if the sensei encourages exploration it usually doesn't matter.
When you are first starting out, visiting other places might be confusing, as there are often slight (or major :eek: ) variations in attacks and techniques and names, from style to style, or even dojo to dojo. If you are the type that needs to do it 'the right way' then don't travel until you are very comfortable in your home dojo. It is rude to visit another place and NOT do what the teacher is showing you, to the best of your ability, so go with an open mind and PAY ATTENTION to what is shown. Also, don't come back from a visit and tell your home dojo that THEY are 'doing it wrong'. The 'right' way is what is shown by the instructor, but a lot of times beginners are so hung up on getting it right, that they cannot accept many right ways and conflict builds.
Re: Re: Going to other dojos
I'm of the mind that if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it's a duck. If it claims to be a peregrine falcon, then it's a duck with a complex.
As for an example of why visiting new place might be confusing, refer to Greg's explanation (and a very nice one, by the way) of how to name techniques. In one style I studied, those names would still be 'missing' what I came to think of as the 'middle name' of the technique. For example, in his system a technique might be Katate tori kokyu nage (with perhaps an omote or tenkan) ki no nigare. In the one I studied, the same teachnique could be:
Katate-tori kokyu nage
a. tenchi nage irimi
b. tenchi nage tenkan
c. tekubi tori irimi
d. tekubi kosatori irimi, jodan style
e. tekubi kiri irimi, gedan style
f. tekubi kiri, chudan style
g. tekubi tori tenkan
h. ude oroshi irimi
i. ude oroshi tenkan
Imagine trying to square those conflicting names away while still working on getting a square knot to stay tied thorugh an entire class...
visiting new places is great, I think, just be sure you go with a very open mind and the knowledge that there is no one absolute way to do anything, from tie your hakama to get a partner to name a technique to do the technique.
You guys really are friendly. Not too many people want to keep answering all the questions that I ask. Or maybe its not the answering part they have a problem with just listening to me all the time. No worries about me thinking that there is only one way to do things. My first sensei would do things one way my second another and his sensei would also be different sometimes. I guess it all depends on what you are wanting the technique to accomplish. In karate some techniques could be a block or a way to break your attackers arm for example. I learned to do it the way it was done by the particular dojo I was in. Of course a couple of times the sensei would show me one way then his jokyoshi would later correct me on my technique and have me do it differently. Never was sure what to then so I just did it according to who happened to be watching. I also learned early on never ever argue with sensei, never tell sensei his method is wrong, and never say "well in my dojo they do it this way."
By the way Colleen I never could get my belt knot to stay tight during class but at least the strings holding my gi pants on always stayed tight!:D
Greg, you mentioned bogus titles and affiliations. This brings to mind another question. How do I check this stuff out. Hopefully without offending sensei? Which is never a good idea.
How long should one train before going to a seminar. I went to my first karate one after having graded only once so I guess I had been training for three months. I enjoyed the seminar though it was strenous as it was originally for blackbelts but they opened it up to every rank but never changed the curriculum! Was I ever sore! It was great fun
even though I was really nervous.
I read in another thread about students asking to be graded! Do you really do this?! My sensei told us to never ask about when we would be grading next and if we did they would make us wait longer. I never wanted to know I never felt comfortable grading so I definitly didn't look forward to it. I never thought that my technique was as good as it should be to grade but it was up to sensei and I would never question him on this. My husband (though we weren't married at the time) told me my technique was good. No prejudice there eh? ;)
By the way Greg, I'm assuming Al in your dojo address stands for Alabama. I live in Canada but I have an Aunt and Uncle in alabama. They live in Trussville
is that anywhere near your dojo?
Failing that, ask one of the sempai what the style of aikido is and if the dojo belongs to a larger organization. I might be an acronym, so listen sharp and write it down. One of us can probably track it down for you. There is a list of affiliations here: http://www.aikiweb.com/general/affiliat.html .
I trained for two years before I knew there was such a thing as a seminar. But as soon as I did, I started attending them. There just about the maximum fun allowed by law.
Trussville is about 1.5 hours away. It's an easy drive around the I-459 loop then down I-65. Be warned, if you visit, we'll nikyo you till you let us buy you dinner.
Best Regards,
Just a quick comment on nomenclature and visiting other dojos. Basically I think it is a non-issue. Unless you are making a particular study of the style visiting is just that. Watch the sensei, try to copy, and if you feel that naming is important to help you remember far better to name the technique according to the conventions of your style.
Personally I find it very helpful to refer everthing that I see and hear to the teachings found in my style anyway. I have yet to come across anything that did not have some relation.
This is also the reason I recommend getting a reasonable grounding in one style before setting off. Contradictions are often not so contradictory - but it takes a little knowledge and experience to recognize that.
Peter, I'd agree that it is best to go with what you know in terms of names, but what to tell the student who is asking the names without having set foot in the dojo yet? the point I was making was about beginners who focus on 'the RIGHT way' (you know them, they wander from senior to senior holding a book published by someone in a different style, or a magaizne or internet article, demanding to know why we don't use the 'right' name). I worry when folks who haven't even found a dojo yet are wanting to know answers that a dojo should be providing. Those are the types most likely to get frustrated when they find disagreement between what they read or see in videos and see and hear on the mat.
As for testing, Kat, not to sound like a broken record but ask at the dojo you join. Since you seem to have a fair amount of experience in karate, and have had several different sensei and dojos, then you must know that can vary from sensei to sensei. Some test those they want, when they want. Others only if it is requested. Just ask when you join a dojo, nothing that you read here matters, it is what your sensei tells you. You must realize this from all your previous experience.
Good luck on finding a place to train, let us know how you enjoyed your first class.
Hi Colleen;
What we really need is an icon for shudder.
Coming from a Shodokan background nomenclature differences are a step beyond. I tend to run into rightous indignation about other things - nomenclature differences are only brought up to bolster the idea that Tomiki was a Judoka who never had a clue what Ueshiba M. was about.
Still my response, beyond different teachers different methods, is the same. This is the way we are - if you are interested stick around and maybe you'll understand why.
Hello Kathryn!
I'm from Germany and some things seem to be different here (can also depend on my style...).
We encourage our students to attend seminars when they finished their beginners course (approx. 6 - 7 weeks). I also did. My first big seminar was confusing, but that's normal, I think.
I was not jet really on a seminar outside an affiliated dojo, but I will go. And I don't ask the permission of my sensei every time. We spoke about this earlier and he agreed, so it's no question any more. And, agreeing with Chuck, change your sensei when he forbids you to visit others!
I visited many dojos, even outside my affiliation (and outside Germany). I always asked their permission before visiting (but without any introduction of my sensei) and it never was a problem. When I started this, I was 1st kyu and I, from my experience, also recomment a solid base in your "home"-style. Then you can enjoy and take to your advantage the great variety Aikido has to offer.
Hope you find the way working best for you,
There's a Bay Area dojo which can tell you a nice lineage story. They talk about their teacher and how he's done this, done that and probably walked on the moon. Unfortunately, if his rank and title were real he'd be one of the most prominent Aikidoists in the USA, actually the world. At best, he's a nobody with a fake history, at his worst, well, it gets pretty bad if you know the story. Unfortunately, none of the neighboring dojos could tell you that truth without looking bad themselves.
If you've been in Karate you know the drill. You just can't tell.
Note: As far as I know this guy is no longer teaching but his students have gone on to open a couple of dojos. While their Aikido is almost certainly not up to my standards, which are not all that lofty, at least the pretty bad part seems to be gone.
My experience is that most aikido clubs where I live are very inclusive and do not restrict their students from visiting other dojos. Certainly the senseis that I have trained under encourage visiting and training at other dojos to broaden an aikidoka's experience and technique.
There are regular friendship seminars where aikidoka from different "styles" attend to share techniques and to socialise. One of the dojos I train at (I train regularly at two but they're both aikikai) invites senseis from different dojos to train and share techniques. Recently we had some people form the local Kokikai dojo attend. It was a very enlightening training session.
Personally, I trained with yosheikan and yoshinkan aikidoka and have left feeling that I had learned something new and different. A good feeling :)
Assuming that the dojo that you choose and other dojos that you choose to visit are accommodating and inclusive, I think there's a lot to be gained from cross training in other aikido dojos. You may wish to stick with one dojo for a while to get use to the basics first before branching out to other dojos.
As for the dojos in your area, there's a lot that has already been said on this thread that I wont repeat.
All the best for your search for a aikido dojo and practice.
We have many regular visitors from other clubs and associations. In fact, our Sensei encourages people to visit other Dojo's and invites other Association heads to teach at our place. We've just finished a weekend course taught by Sensei Wasyl Kolesnikov, which was very well attended. We have regular courses with Senseis Bill Smith and Hayden Foster at our Dojo (just see our website www.phoenix-aikido.com). I agree with others in this thread, if your Sensei is really against you visiting other Dojos, ask the reason why. It may be that your syllabus requirements are such that He/She doesn't want any outside influences, or it may be that they are afraid of comparison.
Have fun.
I joined at the end of January 1995 and my sensei moved about three months later. Right after my first grading I believe. The sensei that he had asked to take over his dojo invited us to go to his sensei's dojo if we wanted to get in extra classes. So I was really lucky that summer, I got to train 4-5 times a week (our dojo only had classes twice a week) and I got to go to a seminar.:D Anyway my husband and I moved down here in november of the same year! We kept up training on our own for a couple of years. Whenever we visited home we would go to our dojo. Eventually we slacked off on training and eventually stopped altogether.
Well that was a rather long winded way for me to say that I actually had less than a year!
Anyway that is how I had three senseis. Lucky me they were all wonderful! My husband was in it for about four years I think. That is how we met. I joined the dojo and it was love at first punch!
I will of course ask the sensei of this dojo all these questions but I just wanted other peoples opinions so I could have an idea if what he says is "normal". I hate that word but I couldn't think of a better one.Besides I am curious right now and I am not at the dojo!
Hey Kathryn,
As to testing, there are some dojos where a student is told when to test, but I would say that the majority of dojos simply hold tests on a regular schedule and it is up to the student to decide if they will test. There are minimum requirements, usually the number of practice days since the last test, which, once met, allow you to sign up for a test.
There are also a number of people who don't test at all, or quit testing after Shodan. I stopped taking tests after black belt and have been promoted "by recommendation" ever since.
Go and practice at seminars whenever you can. I remember a guy who came to a summer camp where the first class was his FIRST class. People sort of looked after him from then on, making sure he could fall or teaching him the basics. Aikido seems to attract helpful people like that.
I would also recommend that people check out the affiliations of a school (if any) before they start. I always gave new students the phone number for the USAF's office. Like Greg (Hi Greg, we're doing fine) said, you should also check the online services, like, well, this one!
Soon to be Aikido of Norfolk
currently Antarctica Aikikai

Some politicians think you're stupid
How stupid?
There are among politicians, certain ones who think you'll believe this:
"Now, this debt ceiling — I just want to remind people in case you haven't been keeping up — raising the debt ceiling, which has been done over a hundred times, does not increase our debt; it does not somehow promote profligacy. All it does is it says you got to pay the bills that you've already racked up, Congress. It's a basic function of making sure that the full faith and credit of the United States is preserved."
Obama went on to suggest that "the average person" mistakenly thinks that raising the debt ceiling means the U.S. is racking up more debt: "It's always a tough vote because the average person thinks raising the debt ceiling must mean that we're running up our debt, so people don't like to vote on it, and, typically, there's some gamesmanship in terms of making the President's party shoulder the burden of raising the — taking the vote."
First – what is it called?
Oh, a debt ceiling.
Anyone – what is the purpose of raising the debt ceiling?
To allow more debt.
If the debt ceiling isn't raised, then the government can't do what?
Increase our debt. Correct?
They can't borrow (commonly known as going into debt) more money to pay those "bills" they've already "racked up", can they?
So when "the average person" thinks that raising the debt ceiling means"running up more debt", they're absolutely dead-on right. Unless you plan on "running up more debt", there is no reason to raise the debt ceiling, is there?
It's called a "debt ceiling" for a reason.
25 Responses to Some politicians think you're stupid
I've said it before and I'll say it again — "It's not a ceiling, it's a hat."
I am soooo stealing that line!
Uh, let me be clear….
I think it depends on what your definition of the word "is" is.
"there's some gamesmanship in terms of making the President's party shoulder the burden of raising the — taking the vote."
And based on (my emphasis) wording, asshat ALMOST stuck his foot in it AGAIN, "raising the….(debt ceiling….I mean….) taking the vote".
Smartest Man in an empty room.
Oh, and notice, again, that Congress has racked up the debt, not big eared lying to your face Barry.
Can't they just keep lying and saying that the debt has increased $0? Then, they can just ignore the debt ceiling.
What kind of fiscal policy is that? A deft one!
But Bruce, It wasn't MY redline. It was the world's.
"It's a basic function of making sure that the full faith and credit of the United States is preserved."
In other words, too big to fail. I am not sure who is supposed to bail out the head bailer though.
"I am not sure who is supposed to bail out the head bailer though."
That's why Obama created China! He's a genius!
Okay, okay, fun's fun but the joke is over, where's the real President? Come on guys, what did you do with him?
I'm pretty sure he is locked up in a gimp cage somewhere in the backwoods of Maine.
Some politicians think you're stupid.
And none of them…or at least very, very few…have ever gone broke betting on it.
Very often, enough of us ARE stupid that it carries the day.
More and more it seems every time he opens his mouth he's just winging it, talking in circles. Please someone, retrieve the royal teleprompter and hire a new speechwriter – that way we can at least pretend he's semi-literate. This national embarrassment must end. Of course another viable option is to send him on a 3 year golf vacation. Oh, wait…
A staff memo released earlier this week by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee provides an "interim update" on the investigation of the IRS scandal. A central finding: "Media attention caused the IRS to treat conservative-oriented tax-exempt applications differently" from liberal or progressive ones.
The memo presents no evidence that the White House directly ordered the IRS to crack down on political opponents. Instead, it is consistent with the theory, described here in May, that IRS personnel responded to "dog whistles" (in Peggy Noonan's metaphor) in public statements from the president and his supporters. . . .
As we have argued before, Barack Obama's re-election deserves to be listed with an asterisk in the record books. He is the political equivalent of an athlete found to have used illicit performance-enhancing drugs. Whether he would have won in 2012 absent the IRS's political corruption is unknowable. We know only that he did win with the help of a corrupt IRS. And if indeed the election was stolen, many in the media were complicit in its theft.
Very real scandal.
Not going away. Nor should it.
Is Pres. Red Line still "outraged"…???
This IRS scandal has so many parallels to the movie "Inception." Yes, the White House never told the IRS to do it, but once the IRS started to do it, Administration officials ignored that it was happening.
There was a report the other day that "Turbo" Timmy Geithner knew about the program in the Spring of 2012, but obviously did nothing about it (like his taxes).
All it does is it says you got to pay the bills that you've already racked up, Congress.
Cleaver that he blames Congress, but then neither he or his own party will man-up to take on the difficult decisions of just how to deal with the problem that is running up the debt. In fact, they both added billions more in debt with the Unaffordable Care Act.
I swear that if the tied the overages in these programs to the Congressional and Presidential Pension funds that somehow they would find a way.
The Economist: The weakened West: The deal over Syria's chemical weapons marks a low for those who cherish freedom. "The deal looks good only because the mess Mr Obama had got himself into was so bad. Step back, and the outcome looks rotten."
Will Erp ever even read that…???
(I know. Silly question…)
Think of it this way. Joe has maxed out his $50,000 credit card. Joe has promised his family a winter ski vacation which will be put on said credit card. If his debt limit isn't raised then Joe has defaulted.
If this makes sense to you then you might be a democrat.
OTOH, Joe has maxed out his $50,000 credit card. Joe has promised his family a winter ski vacation which will be put on said credit card. The credit card company does not raise his debt limit so the ski vacation gets cancelled. Joe continues to make the minimum payment on the credit card and is not considered to be in default.
If this makes sense to you then you probably have a realistic view of the situation.
Why don't we just mint a few trillion dollar coins and pay off our debts and start fresh? And this time don't let Mr Burns give them to Castro to check out

FREEZE FRAME: THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA Celebrates 25th Anniversary Curtain Call!
The longest-running show in Broadway history, Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, directed by Harold Prince and produced by Cameron Mackintosh and The Really Useful Company, Inc., once again made theater history when it became the first Broadway show ever to celebrate its 25th Anniversary last night, January 26. Much of the Phantom family reunited for the special event, and the current cast was also be a big part of the festivities.
On Broadway, since its debut on January 26, 1988, The Phantom of the Operahas grossed over $888 million. Even now - as it celebrates its 25th Anniversary on Broadway - it is consistently among Broadway's highest-grossing shows and remains a box office champ. Earlier this year, the production shattered the house record at The Majestic by having its best weekly gross in its entire 25-year history. Total attendance is now over 15 million and it continues to play with no end in sight.
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA currently stars Hugh Panaro in the title role with Sierra Boggess as Christine and Kyle Barisich as Raoul. The musical co-stars Jim Weitzer (Monsieur André), Tim Jerome (Monsieur Firmin), Michele McConnell (Carlotta), Ellen Harvey (Madame Giry), Christian Šebek (Piangi) and Kara Klein (Meg Giry). At certain performances, Samantha Hill plays Christine.

PCB Design
Here's a refutation of the theory that NVIDIA's partners receive all GeForce 7 series cards ready-made. Although the ASUS Extreme N7800GT uses the reference PCB design, its PCB is colored blue rather than traditional red.
The graphics card doesn't have an NVIDIA logo, carrying ASUS' ones instead. It means that the GeForce 7800 GT may come to graphics card makers as a GPU + memory kit, and it's up to the manufacturer to choose the color of the lacquer, to put any logos on it and to mount an appropriate cooling system. ASUSTeK Computer took the opportunity to deflect from NVIDIA's reference model, as you can see. According to the manufacturer's website, this graphics card exists in two versions, a reference one and the one we are dealing with now. They are called Original Edition and ASUS Blue LED Edition, respectively.
The ASUS Extreme N7800GT strongly resembles ASUS' V9999 Gamer Edition card we described in our earlier article (for details see our article called ASUS V9999 Gamer Edition Graphics Card Review ), largely due to the same cooling system. The system is a mixture of the reference coolers from GeForce 6800 Ultra and GeForce 6800. The former contributed the memory chips heatsink and the latter, the low-profile design. ASUS also added a few touches of its own: they replaced the material of the fan and of the cooler's casing with blue translucent plastic that reacts to ultraviolet light, embellished the casing with an ASUS logo and installed bright blue LED highlighting. Well, beauty has nothing to do with functionality, yet this cooling system should surpass the reference GeForce 7800 GT cooler in efficiency and noise characteristics, too. First, it uses an all-copper heatsink which directly contacts with the GPU and, second, ASUS' blower is less noisy than the one employed in the reference cooler.
High-efficiency thermal paste is used as thermal interface between the heatsink's sole (which might have been polished better, by the way) and the GPU die. The memory touches the cooler through cloth pads soaked in thermal paste. This solution is quite efficient, we should say. The fan is attached via a two-wire cable, meaning the lack of smooth speed adjustment as was implemented on the ASUS V9999 Gamer Edition. And still, you can control the speed of the fan. The latest version of RivaTuner allows you to set up different speeds for 2D, Low Power 3D and Performance 3D modes.
A curious design detail is a metal plate that goes along the top edge of the PCB and prevents it from bending. This plate was present on the ASUS Extreme N7800GTX TOP where it was obligatory because of the massive cooling system installed on that card. Here, however, it is hardly really necessary and is nothing else but a decoration element. There's a cut in the plate near the MIO connector so that nothing hindered you in attaching a SLI connector.
The graphics card employs Infineon HYB18T256324F-20 chips of GDDR3 memory with 256Mb capacity, 2.0V voltage, and 2.0ns access time. The memory is clocked at its rated frequency, i.e. at 500 (1000) MHz. The GPU is clocked at 400MHz (the default frequency of the GeForce 7800 GT). We want to remind you that this clock rate refers to the GPU's pixel processors and raster operators only. Its vertex processors are clocked at 440MHz.
As mentioned above, the graphics card is VIVO-compatible by using a Philips SAA7115HL controller equipped with two 9-bit analog-to-digital converters and capable of hardware scaling of the captured image. This chip is installed on all GeForce 7 series cards, endowing them with additional functions.

vanB2-Tn5382 typing in enterococcal clones disseminated around 16 hospitals in Chile
Abstract number: P2115
López M., Saavedra G., Rodriguez-Baños M., Hormazábal J.C., Maldonado A., Silva J., Torres C., del Campo R.
Objectives: To analyse the composition of the genetic element Tn5382 associated with the vanB2 genotype in selected enterococcal clones disseminated around 16 different Hospitals in Chile, as well as the presence of other resistance, virulence and bacteriocin genes.
Methods: Seven unrelated PFGE-SmaI clones (2 E. faecalis and 5 E. faecium) corresponding to 10 E. faecalis and 60 E. faecium vanB2 isolates were studied. Strains were collected at the National Reference Institute in Santiago (ISPCH) from 16 different hospitals of four regions of Chile. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by the agar dilution method. Presence of ISEnfa110 or ISEnfa200, as well as the vanX-ORFC fragment or the antimicrobial resistance genes erm(B), tet(M), tet(L), aph(3')-III and aac(6')-aph(2") were tested by PCR. Similarly, esp, hyl, gelE, fsrA, fsrB, fsrC, cylLLS, cylA, cylB, cylM, and agg virulent factors were tested in all vanB2-enterococcal clones by PCR. Amino acid changes in PBP5 protein was studied in one penicillin-resistant E. faecium clone by PCR and sequencing. The purK allele was analysed by PCR and sequencing. Bacteriocin production was analysed using 8 indicator bacteria and bacteriocin structural genes were checked by PCR.
Results: All five vanB2 E. faecium clones harboured the Tn5382 element with positive amplifications for ISEnfa110 upstream of the vanRB gene, whereas ISEnfa200 was not detected between the intergenic region vanSB-vanYB. Negative results were obtained for both ISEnfa100/200 elements in the two vanB2-E. faecalis clones. The sequence of vanX-ORFC fragment corresponded to the described sequence 203412. Eight amino acid changes were detected in PBP5 protein in one ampicillin-resistant E. faecium clones respect to the reference one. Almost all enterococcal clones tested harboured the resistant genes erm(B), tet(M), aph(3'), and aac(6')-aph(2"), and the E. faecalis ones also contained all the virulence tested factors. The purK1 allele was found in all E. faecium clones. Bacteriocin production was detected in two E. faecium and two E. faecalis clones, showing activity against L. monocytogenes, among others, and they harboured the entA gene.
Conclusions: different vanB2 clones of E. faecium and E. faecalis have been disseminated in hospitals of four different regions of Chile and most of them harbour a wide variety of antibiotic resistance genes and virulence genes.

Federal Court Backs States In Power Plant Pollution Case
A federal appeals court in Chicago today agreed with New York and other states that the Clean Air Act requires dirty coal-fired power plants to install pollution controls when plant modifications result in increased pollution emissions. This decision gives a major boost to New Yorks efforts to reduce air pollution from power plants in the Midwest.
In a case brought by Attorney General Spitzer, other state attorneys general and the federal government against the Cinergy Corporation of Ohio, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit unanimously ruled that air pollution must be measured based on yearly power plant emissions rather than the hourly rate of pollution - as the company contended. The court, in an opinion authored by Judge Richard Posner, found that Cinergys interpretation would "open a loophole that would allow pollution to soar unregulated."
"This is a resounding environmental and public health victory," Attorney General Spitzer said. "New York has been especially hard hit by the devastating impacts of dirty air. Acid rain has damaged our lakes and streams, while scores of children suffer from asthma attacks every day. Todays decision squarely rejects the arguments made by the coal plant owners to delay the installation of pollution controls necessary to save lives and clean up the environment."
At issue in the case is the New Source Review provision of the Clean Air Act, which requires power plants and manufacturing facilities to install modern pollution reduction controls whenever they modify their plants in a way that increases air pollution. Attorney General Spitzer has sued the owners of coal-fired power plants in six states who have violated the law by not upgrading their pollution controls. In response, the federal government has attempted to relax clean air standards and a coalition of attorneys general have successfully litigated to protect the integrity of the Clean Air Act in court.
New York sued Cinergy in 2001 after Cinergy walked away from an agreement with the federal and state governments that would have required the company to slash air pollution from 10 coal-fired power plants in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. One of Cinergys responses to the lawsuit was that its air pollution should be measured based on the speed of the emissions rather than the actual increase in pollution. The court today strongly rejected Cinergys argument.
Peter Iwanowicz, Vice President for the American Lung Association of NY said: "This decision is an important legal as well as public health victory. The decision will assure that power plant operators must cut the unhealthful pollution belched from their smokestacks. This pollution triggers asthma attacks in children, puts the lives of seniors with lung disease at risk and makes it difficult for otherwise healthy New Yorkers to breathe."
Neil F. Woodworth, Executive Director of the Adirondack Mountain Club said: "This critically important legal victory in Attorney General Spitzers efforts to get strict enforcement of the Clean Air Act will mean much less acid rain, mercury and smog in New York and the Adirondacks. It will also mean that more polluting coal-burning power plants upwind of New York will have to finally clean up their act."
The case is being handled by Assistant Attorneys General Robert Rosenthal, Eugene Kelly, Michael Myers, and Jared Snyder, under the direction of Peter Lehner, chief of the Attorney Generals Environmental Protection Bureau.
