Open Letter on the Need for Revenue from Religious Leaders
What kind of state do we want to live in?
We believe all caring citizens want to live in a state where lifes basic necessities are met.
As religious leaders of Washington State we call upon our legislators to face the daunting challenge of balancing the state budget, with its $9 billion revenue shortfall, with courage and compassion. This cannot be accomplished without increasing revenues.
The massive budget cuts proposed in the Governor, House and Senate budgets devastate life line services such as childcare, public health, health care for kids and adults, housing and care for seniors. It denies opportunities for a quality public education essential for our childrens future. Public services are more important than ever when families lose jobs, lose healthcare and are otherwise economically stressed. To live up to our moral responsibility for the common good, we must find ways to raise additional revenues.
In times like this, we need visionary leadership that is why we call upon the best minds available to identify additional revenue sources that will be in the best interest of our communities and the least onerous upon lower to middle income workers. In our difficult situation there are some who are better able to bear the economic burden than others. We understand the impact of Initiative 960 and the supermajority vote required by both the House and Senate to pass any tax or fee increase. Because of this we urge the legislature to refer a ballot measure to the people that would maintain core programs that assist our most vulnerable residents: from our children, to our unemployed, to those without health coverage and without shelter, to those living with a disability, and to at-risk seniors.
Yes, we are doing our share in helping people in our communities get through these hard times, but as important as charity is, our churches and congregations are not equipped to maintain the critical social safety net programs and the investments of state government. As economists have said, cutting or eliminating services is not the solution. Maintaining services and keeping our current investments is a critical way to improve our sluggish economy. We call upon you as we call upon the members of our faith communities to join us in an effort to raise revenues recognizing that we live in a state with wealth and resources.
We urge you to fulfill your role as responsible legislators and we will fulfill ours as partners in educating and creating the public will to solve the challenges we face in this economy.

I thought churches lost their tax exempt status if they engaged in political activities.
Is that not true?
Does somebody need to point that out to them?
Any Southern Baptist Convention or NW Conservative Baptist Association churches in there? ... :-)
You said — I thought churches lost their tax exempt status if they engaged in political activities.
Some IRS documentation for churches...
I don't think that they were preaching from the pulpit to their congregations. I don't believe they are prohibited from participating individually (outside of their church) in other political events.
But, see what that documentation in the IRS publication says. It's supposed to be a handbook for churches.
All of the apostate church. Thanks for naming names.
They are specifically asking for something IN THE NAME OF THEIR RESPECTIVE CHURCHES.
Nobody who signed this thing said anything like "Joe Blow, truckdriver from Centralia"...
Anyways I just thought I'd mention it. You can bet if they asked to LOWER taxes, the big hats would be on their case about it...
Well..., that's why I gave you the IRS handbook for churches. They do address those issues in there...
Why don't they lobby for state sovereignty...take back the forests for logging? More jobs, more revenue.
These "religious leaders" have it backwards.
We voters have to "request" our legislature to decrease spending. That's what our TEA Party's are about.
Any in Clark County or near by, don't forget our Pork Protest, April 18 on the County Courthouse lawn, 11 AM to 1 PM.
Anywhere else there is one, go and attend. Send Olympia loud messages.
"I thought churches lost their tax exempt status if they engaged in political activities"
Not when they support the liberal socialist agenda. Speak out against abortion, gay rights, immigration, freedom of religion, etc. and hyour church will be driven to the edge by the IRS.
However, you need to look at what churches (?) are really signing on to this bunk. Most (many) are so liberal that they can hardly be classify as a Christian church.
GLAD I sold my house and exited that leftist sewer of Seattle two Summers ago...
Thanks Alex!
The unions are starting their ad campaign today, as well. The health services union. I assume that is the SEIU, that passed that initiative to organize the day care and health care workers, under the guise of training. That is one of the unions that is suing Gregoire.
I sent this to my pastor in hopes of starting a
conversation about the meltdown to luke warm
status of our church.
Without federal, state or any other kind of
funding, the church has always practiced welfare
by taking care of the widows and the orphans.
Legislated charity has trounced Scripture and the
common sense instruction from God's Word ...
"No workee, No eatee". (2Thessalonians 3:10)
What we have encouraged are lazy and promiscuous
people who expect to be taken care of by the Government.
Thanks to our not so educational system, these same
people have no idea from where the money comes.

If the legislature wants to get rid of the deficit, get rid of the non essential programs and employees that caused the deficit.
Well, dirtymac, you were saying — Not when they support the liberal socialist agenda. Speak out against abortion, gay rights, immigration, freedom of religion, etc. and hyour church will be driven to the edge by the IRS.
Well, since some people are not actually looking at the IRS rules and regulations regarding this, I thought I would post it right here so you could see.
You can do any of these things — liberal or conservative — as the IRS guidelines say.
I think what you may be observing, is that (very simply) the liberal ones may be the ones who are speaking out on issues while the conservative ones are *not* doing so in a manner like this.
So, rather than it being *illegal* — the conservative ones simply are *not* engaging the society...
The following is from the IRS handbook (the parts that appear to be relevant here...)
Substantial Lobbying Activity
In general, no organization, including a church, may qualify for IRC section 501(c)(3) status if a substantial part of its activities is attempting to influence legislation (commonly known as lobbying). An IRC section 501(c)(3) organization may engage in some lobbying, but too much lobbying activity risks loss of tax-exempt status.
Legislation includes action by Congress, any state legislature, any local council, or similar governing body, with respect to acts, bills, resolutions, or similar items (such as legislative confirmation of appointive offices), or by the public in a referendum, ballot initiative, constitutional amendment, or similar procedure. It does not include actions by executive, judicial, or administrative bodies.
A church or religious organization will be regarded as attempting to influence legislation if it contacts, or urges the public to contact, members or employees of a legislative body for the purpose of proposing, supporting, or opposing legislation, or if the organization advocates the adoption or rejection of legislation.
Churches and religious organizations may, however, involve themselves in issues of public policy without the activity being considered as lobbying. For example, churches may conduct educational meetings, prepare and distribute educational materials, or otherwise consider public policy issues in an educational manner without jeopardizing their tax-exempt status.
Measuring Lobbying Activity
Substantial part test. Whether a churchs or religious organizations attempts to influence legislation constitute a substantial part of its overall activities is determined on the basis of all the pertinent facts and circumstances in each case. The IRS considers a variety of factors, including the time devoted (by both compensated and volunteer workers) and the expenditures devoted by the organization to the activity, when determining whether the lobbying activity is substantial. Churches must use the substantial part test since they are not eligible to use the expenditure test described in the next section.
Consequences of excessive lobbying activity. Under the substantial part test, a church or religious organization that conducts excessive lobbying activity in any taxable year may lose its tax-exempt status, resulting in all of its income being subject to tax. In addition, a religious organization is subject to an excise tax equal to five percent of its lobbying expenditures for the year in which it ceases to qualify for exemption. Further, a tax equal to five percent of the lobbying expenditures for the year may be imposed against organization managers, jointly and severally, who agree to the making of such expenditures knowing that the expenditures would likely result in loss of tax-exempt status.
Expenditure test. Although churches are not eligible, religious organizations may elect the expenditure test under IRC section 501(h) as an alternative method for measuring lobbying activity. Under the expenditure test, the extent of an organizations lobbying activity will not jeopardize its tax-exempt status, provided its expenditures, related to such activity, do not normally exceed an amount specified in IRC section 4911. This limit is generally based upon the size of the organization and may not exceed $1,000,000.
Religious organizations electing to use the expenditure test must file IRS Form 5768, Election/Revocation of Election by an Eligible IRC Section 501(c)(3) Organization To Make Expenditures To Influence Legislation, at any time during the tax year for which it is to be effective. The election remains in effect for succeeding years unless it is revoked by the organization. Revocation of the election is effective beginning with the year following the year in which the revocation is filed. Religious organizations may wish to consult their tax advisors to determine their eligibility for, and the advisability of, electing the expenditure test.
Consequences of excessive lobbying activity. Under the expenditure test, a religious organization that engages in excessive lobbying activity over a four-year period may lose its tax-exempt status, making all of its income for that period subject to tax. Should the organization exceed its lobbying expenditure dollar limit in a particular year, it must pay an excise tax equal to 25 percent of the excess.
Political Campaign Activity
Under the Internal Revenue Code, all IRC section 501(c)(3) organizations, including churches and religious organizations, are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. Contributions to political campaign funds or public statements of position (verbal or written) made by or on behalf of the organization in favor of or in opposition to any candidate for public office clearly violate the prohibition against political campaign activity. Violation of this prohibition may result in denial or revocation of tax-exempt status and the imposition of certain excise tax.
Certain activities or expenditures may not be prohibited depending on the facts and circumstances. For example, certain voter education activities (including the presentation of public forums and the publication of voter education guides) conducted in a non-partisan manner do not constitute prohibited political campaign activity. In addition, other activities intended to encourage people to participate in the electoral process, such as voter registration and get-out-the-vote drives, would not constitute prohibited political campaign activity if conducted in a non-partisan manner. On the other hand, voter education or registration activities with evidence of bias that: (a) would favor one candidate over another; (b) oppose a candidate in some manner; or (c) have the effect of favoring a candidate or group of candidates, will constitute prohibited participation or intervention.
Individual Activity by Religious Leaders
The political campaign activity prohibition is not intended to restrict free expression on political matters by leaders of churches or religious organizations speaking for themselves, as individuals. Nor are leaders prohibited from speaking about important issues of public policy. However, for their organizations to remain tax exempt under IRC section 501(c)(3), religious leaders cannot make partisan comments in official organization publications or at official church functions. To avoid potential attribution of their comments outside of church functions and publications, religious leaders who speak or write in their individual capacity are encouraged to clearly indicate that their comments are personal and not intended to represent the views of the organization. The following are examples of situations involving endorsements by religious leaders.
Example 1: Minister A is the minister of Church J, a section 501(c)(3) organization, and is well known in the community. With their permission, Candidate T publishes a full-page ad in the local newspaper listing five prominent ministers who have personally endorsed Candidate T, including Minister A. Minister A is identified in the ad as the minister of Church J. The ad states, Titles and affiliations of each individual are provided for identification purposes only. The ad is paid for by Candidate Ts campaign committee. Since the ad was not paid for by Church J, the ad is not otherwise in an official publication of Church J, and the endorsement is made by Minister A in a personal capacity, the ad does not constitute campaign intervention by Church J.
Example 2: Minister B is the minister of Church K, a section 501(c)(3) organization, and is well known in the community. Three weeks before the election, he attends a press conference at Candidate V's campaign headquarters and states that Candidate V should be reelected. Minister B does not say he is speaking on behalf of Church K. His endorsement is reported on the front page of the local newspaper and he is identified in the article as the minister of Church K. Because Minister B did not make the endorsement at an official church function, in an official church publication or otherwise use the church's assets, and did not state that he was speaking as a representative of Church K, his actions do not constitute campaign intervention by Church K.
Example 3: Minister C is the minister of Church I, a section 501(c)(3) organization. Church I publishes a monthly church newsletter that is distributed to all church members. In each issue, Minister C has a column titled My Views. The month before the election, Minister C states in the My Views column, It is my personal opinion that Candidate U should be reelected. For that one issue, Minister C pays from his personal funds the portion of the cost of the newsletter attributable to the My Views column. Even though he paid part of the cost of the newsletter, the newsletter is an official publication of the church. Because the endorsement appeared in an official publication of Church I, it constitutes campaign intervention attributed to Church I.
Example 4: Minister D is the minister of Church M, a section 501(c)(3) organization. During regular services of Church M shortly before the election, Minister D preached on a number of issues, including the importance of voting in the upcoming election, and concluded by stating, It is important that you all do your duty in the election and vote for Candidate W. Because Minister Ds remarks indicating support for Candidate W were made during an official church service, they constitute political campaign intervention by to Church M.
Issue Advocacy vs. Political Campaign Intervention
Like other section 501(c)(3) organizations, some churches and religious organizations take positions on public policy issues, including issues that divide candidates in an election for public office. However, section 501(c)(3) organizations must avoid any issue advocacy that functions as political campaign intervention. Even if a statement does not expressly tell an audience to vote for or against a specific candidate, an organization delivering the statement is at risk of violating the political campaign intervention prohibition if there is any message favoring or opposing a candidate. A statement can identify a candidate not only by stating the candidates name but also by other means such as showing a picture of the candidate, referring to political party affiliations, or other distinctive features of a candidates platform or biography. All the facts and circumstances need to be considered to determine if the advocacy is political campaign intervention.
Key factors in determining whether a communication results in political campaign intervention include the following:
— whether the statement identifies one or more candidates for a given public office,
— whether the statement expresses approval or disapproval for one or more candidates positions and/or actions,
— whether the statement is delivered close in time to the election,
— whether the statement makes reference to voting or an election,
— whether the issue addressed in the communication has been raised as an issue distinguishing candidates for a given office,
— whether the communication is part of an ongoing series of communications by the organization on the same issue that are made independent of the timing of any election, and
— whether the timing of the communication and identification of the candidate are related to a non-electoral event such as a scheduled vote on specific legislation by an officeholder who also happens to be a candidate for public office.
A communication is particularly at risk of political campaign intervention when it makes reference to candidates or voting in a specific upcoming election. Nevertheless, the communication must still be considered in context before arriving at any conclusions.
Example 1: Church O, a section 501(c)(3) organization, prepares and finances a full page newspaper advertisement that is published in several large circulation newspapers in State V shortly before an election in which Senator C is a candidate for nomination in a party primary. Senator C is the incumbent candidate in a party primary. The advertisement states that a pending bill in the United States Senate would provide additional opportunities for State V residents to participate in faith-based programs by providing funding to such church-affiliated programs. The advertisement ends with the statement Call or write Senator C to tell him to vote for this bill, despite his opposition in the past. Funding for faith-based programs has not been raised as an issue distinguishing Senator C from any opponent. The bill is scheduled for a vote before the election. The advertisement identifies Senator Cs position as contrary to Os position. Church O has not violated the political campaign intervention prohibition: The advertisement does not mention the election or the candidacy of Senator C or distinguish Senator C from any opponent. The timing of the advertising and the identification of Senator C are directly related to a vote on the identified legislation. The candidate identified, Senator C, is an officeholder who is in a position to vote on the legislation.
Example 2: Church R, a section 501(c)(3) organization, prepares and finances a radio advertisement urging an increase in state funding for faith-based education in State X, which requires a legislative appropriation. Governor E is the governor of State X. The radio advertisement is first broadcast on several radio stations in State X beginning shortly before an election in which Governor E is a candidate for re-election. The advertisement is not part of an ongoing series of substantially similar advocacy communications by Church R on the same issue. The advertisement cites numerous statistics indicating that faith-based education in State X is under funded. Although the advertisement does not say anything about Governor Es position on funding for faith-based education, it ends with Tell Governor E what you think about our under-funded schools. In public appearances and campaign literature, Governor Es opponent has made funding of faith-based education an issue in the campaign by focusing on Governor Es veto of an income tax increase to increase funding for faith-based education. At the time the advertisement is broadcast, no legislative vote or other major legislative activity is scheduled in the State X legislature on state funding of faith-based education. Church R has violated the political campaign prohibition: The advertisement identifies Governor E, appears shortly before an election in which Governor E is a candidate, is not part of an ongoing series of substantially similar advocacy communications by Church R on the same issue, is not timed to coincide with a non-election event such as a legislative vote or other major legislative action on that issue, and takes a position on an issue that the opponent has used to distinguish himself from Governor E.
Example 3: Candidate A and Candidate B are candidates for the state senate in District W of State X. The issue of State X funding for a faith-based indigent hospital care in District W is a prominent issue in the campaign. Both candidates have spoken out on the issue. Candidate A supports funding such care; Candidate B opposes the project and supports increasing State X funding for public hospitals instead. P is the head of the board of elders at Church C, a section 501(c)(3) organization located in District W. At Cs annual fundraising dinner in District W, which takes place in the month before the election, P gives a long speech about health care issues, including the issue of funding for faith-based programs. P does not mention the name of any candidate or any political party. However, at the end of the speech, P makes the following statement, For those of you who care about quality of life in District W and the desire of our community for health care responsive to their faith, there is a very important choice coming up next month. We need more funding for health care. Increased public hospital funding will not make a difference. You have the power to respond to the needs of this community. Use that power when you go to the polls and cast your vote in the election for your state senator. C has violated the political campaign intervention prohibition as a result of Ps remarks at Cs official function shortly before the election, in which P referred to the upcoming election after stating a position on an issue that is a prominent issue in a campaign that distinguishes the candidates.
Inviting a Candidate to Speak
Depending on the facts and circumstances, a church or religious organization may invite political candidates to speak at its events without jeopardizing its tax-exempt status. Political candidates may be invited in their capacity as candidates, or individually (not as a candidate). Candidates may also appear without an invitation at organization events that are open to the public.
I might also make one additional note here.
One very clear way that a "church" can get rid of *all* IRS oversight on these issues and that the church can even endorse candidates, if they want to and give donations from the church to candidates and give donations from the church to political campaigns and issues... is for the church to completely dump their 501 (c) (3) designation.
Then they have no limitations.
It would seem — to me — that "greed" may be the factor in churches *not getting out from under* the IRS guidelines...
No one seems to mention that one...
How bout those churches starting to pay taxes.

Church members should withhold donations claiming the State took their money. I would not give the church a dime after this back stabbing fleecing.
What they need to preach is the separation of the goats and the sheep. The sheep take personal actions of the least of these and the goats depend on public dollars and not personal interactions. IMO
Sheep and goats... good analysis.
Now THAT is a great idea!
I'd bet those loud-mouthed pastors would understand THAT better than anything else their congregations could say to them.

Although most kittens will inherently look for soil-type surfaces for elimination, owners will still need to help their new addition adjust to using a litter box during their first few weeks of life. VCA Animal Hospitals reports that kittens between 30 and 36 days old will begin to leave their mothers in search of their own spot to eliminate, so by the time a new owner gets it, the feline should already have some independence in terms of going to the bathroom in the correct space.
To help it become familiar with its new home and its new pet supplies, VCA suggests keeping the feline in a small, confined area with an appropriately sized litter box. As long as it's able to get in and out of the litter box with ease, this short-lived confinement should be enough training to last its entire life.
Because cats naturally look for soil to eliminate, your kitten may seek out houseplants rather than its litter box if they are available, according to VCA. To prohibit this behavior, make sure to keep any plants with soil far out of reach of a new kitten, until it is fully litter-box trained. Once it's free to roam around, owners may want to bring the kitten to its litter box after it eats, drinks, plays or wakes up from a cat nap, as these tend to be times when they'll be more apt to go.

System Design: Fixing the 787's Batteries
Boeing's 787 Dreamliner is a complex design and massive engineering task that few people can truly appreciate. Not only is it an advanced composite structure aircraft with a loaded take-off weight of a half million pounds, but it was created in the light of modern fuel costs. It lists for at least $207 million a copy, so it is also one of earth's most expensive machines.
The road to 787 completion involved the use of extensive composite airframe structures and close consultation with all vendors and subcontractors to minimize airframe weight burden in every sub-system and component. Each ship contains two large Lithium-ion batteries, one fore and one aft, so the weight burden in them had to be considered in the ship design.
It was those logical and completely understandable design decisions that eventually led to the two 61.8 pound Lithium-ion Cobalt Oxide battery failures, resulting in worldwide 787 fleet grounding while the problems of the unexpected battery failures were resolved.
Two 787s experienced dramatic battery failures, in two different locations on the airframe, less than two weeks apart. The first failure was on Jan. 7, on a grounded Japan Airlines (JAL) 787 in Boston; the second was on Jan. 16, on an All Nippon Airways (ANA) 787 in Japan. This led to FAA grounding of the airframe type in January by an emergency airworthiness directive, and other agencies worldwide followed shortly thereafter. All 50 of the planes in service were grounded, pending rectification of the battery problems, and approval of the solution.

Understanding the Airframe
Most perceptions of the aircraft battery system come from much smaller aircraft, where it serves a variety of purposes from starting the engine to stabilizing the main DC bus impedance. The 787 is a much different electrical system concept, and could actually operate with no battery at all as long as ground power was available for starts. It has very high power generation capability, making a total of 1.5 megawatts in flight from 6 Variable Frequency Starter-Generators (VFSG), with two on each engine, and two in the aft Auxiliary Power Unit (APU).
Because the 787 is primarily an electrical, not a hydraulic or bleed air controlled aircraft, electrical power does almost every task on board the ship, requiring higher voltage to overcome distribution copper losses. These four busses are 235VAC primary power and 270VDC for pumps, plus 115VAC and 28VDC for small galley, IFE and flight deck subsystems. The ship relies on the low voltage DC 29.2VDC from the lithium battery only for engine starts if no ground power is available, for some power transfer functions and for last ditch back up emergency cockpit power. For it to actually be needed in flight, all six onboard generators would have to have failed, along with the emergency wind turbine.
Normal starts are from one of the external ground power ports, with the required energy supplied by an external ground power unit. Where a ground power start is not possible, the rear internal battery starts the APU, whose high capacity VFSGs then provide the power needed to start the two main engines forward. Both batteries (fore and aft) have now failed in service, however, making it more uncertain as to external causes of failure. The main battery is located just aft and below the cockpit area, The aft battery is just beyond the rear of the passenger compartment, in front of the APU.
Of some interest is that certification flight testing included a 5.5 hour failure simulation with one engine failed, and 5 of the 6 on board generators failed, and the 787 remained airworthy and operational. Its ability to work with large scale electrical failure is significant and impressive, despite its heavy reliance on electrical power.

The primary need for the batteries in the 787 is for their high start (or cold cranking) current. The key attribute of the adopted Lithium-ion battery is a very high surge current rating of 1000A max., and 450A/45 seconds for APU starts, (plus slightly elevated DC voltage), roughly 4 times the surge current capability of the comparable earlier 767 Ni-Cad batteries according to Boeing, but with significantly less weight. The 8-cell GS Yuasa 787 LVP65-8-402 battery is rated at 75Ah and 29.6VDC, with total energy storage of 1440Wh, although the implied capacity is nominally 2200Wh from the parametric ratings.
Where things perhaps got off track for the 787 is that the lithium battery was then further optimized for low installed weight, which creates a significant problem when its primary start task is considered. Under the very high current start demands, there is a risk that the battery could overheat, deform, short, experience insulation failure or even catch fire as the high temperatures associated by the very high peak start currents pushed the lightened battery structure too far. These issues are especially significant in the Lithium-ion Cobalt Oxide chemistry picked for the 787 battery.
The GS Yuasa complete battery has a specific specification that no more than 3 APU start attempts can be performed at one instance, no doubt because of the very high thermal stress these operations create. The failure analysis of the battery system on the 787 foresaw a battery thermal failure event as being something so rare it could be expressed in terms of once in 10 million flight hours, but actually one failure occurred within 196 flight hours, another within 2151 hours, a very troubling discrepancy of projected reliability. Many public statements claimed that the faults occurred after 52,000 flight hours, but this is not correct. That higher total was taken from the combined totals of all 50 aircraft in service and test flights.
In hindsight, the already weight-optimized Lithium battery should really have been thermally optimized, since temperature is the well-known and well-documented downfall of lithium battery chemistry, especially Lithium-Ion Cobalt Oxide. This battery chemistry is the same one associated with earlier laptop battery failures and fires, and has seen considerable improvement since then. It is worth nothing that most Lithium-ion battery packs picked for electric vehicle packs, where safety is also a key concern, use a different and safer chemistry than the 787 batteries. In previous Toyota hybrids, Nickel-metal hydride packs were used, the Segway transporter uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry, and the Nissan leaf uses Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO) chemistry. The Chevy Volt uses Lithium Manganese Spinel chemistry (another name for LMO), and has also licensed Argonne National Lab's nickel-manganese-cobalt battery technology for possible future use. Lithium-Ion Cobalt Oxide chemistry is conspicuously absent, which is hardly an endorsement.
Also, the known deep-discharge cell-fault issue with Lithium-ion Cobalt Oxide chemistry makes an internal battery start, and especially a repetitive battery start operation a valid concern in an aviation environment. Charging after this severe charge depletion can lead to total battery failure. High temperature operation also leads to rapid stored charge degradation. Actual catastrophic battery failure in only 196 flight hours inevitably has to raise some design concerns regarding the battery chemistry chosen.
The Lithium-ion battery in any form was already a significant weight saving relative to the cold cranking capability of an equivalent Ni-Cad or SLA battery (sealed lead acid), what was really needed was to make the temperamental chemistry less susceptible to thermal failure, and especially from propagating thermal failure from any single failed cell to any others. The unfortunate design choices pushed instead for even less weight, minimizing thermal isolation between cells, thinning internal spacers, and packing the battery cells and battery monitor control circuitry all within one very small container, which then vented into the ambient electrical bay.
This meant that any cell that shorted or overheated could quickly couple its heat to another cell, causing it to also fail. In practice, this rising temperature was eventually high enough to ignite the lithium (which is very difficult to extinguish, as firefighters subsequently learned), leading to serious battery destruction, and volatile venting into the electrical bay. The result was intense heat, corrosive hot vapor and smoke, and of course electrical failure of the battery.
Actual X-ray Battery failure on the ANA 787 main
A further revelation was released in new records on April 23rd at the NTSB hearing, that an actual battery fire caused by an internal short circuit had occurred in 2009 at a subcontractor's site. This data had not previously been disclosed. Further, NTSB chairman Deborah Hersman noted that cell-to-cell propagation of heat failure (thermal runaway) clearly occurred, a must-not-occur design condition specifically prohibited by the FAA in their agreement to allow the use of Lithium-ion batteries. This design criterion clearly was not met in practice.
Unresolved Other Factors
In addition to general issues with battery chemistry and the realities of engine start operation, several other factors of unknown significance have also surfaced. Once the APU battery was removed as well, they went OFF. This possibly indicates an unintended sneak path of some type between the Main (failed) and APU batteries. This anomaly is still under investigation.
On Jan. 9, 2013, United Airlines, the sole U.S. 787 operator right now, reported wiring problems on one of its six 787s in the same area as the ANA 787 Main battery fire. Details were not disclosed. The JTSB also found a broken battery case grounding strap on the ANA 787, but did not conclude it was contributory to the fire.
One puzzling detail is that other airframes in the flying pool of 50 ships have not had battery fires. Is this because of different starting protocols and methods, different external power sources, different wiring configurations, different flight tines, minor ship differences, or other unknown factors? Also, of great interest to all would be a public disclosure of the visual and operational condition of every battery removed from service when these new retrofit kits are installed. This data may be of critical importance downstream in evaluating the fundamental suitability of the battery chemistry, especially if existing thermal damage is found. Currently no plan to do this has been made public, but it is clearly very useful to do so.
NTSB data specifically ruled out applied battery over-voltage as a fault trigger leading to fire, as did the JTSB. Flight data recorder voltage records (see attached figure) show dramatic internal drops (to 11V and 3V) and surges as if cells are shorting out or shorting to the case, but not an indication of over-voltage. This means internal cell destruction was probably triggered by other causes, which have still not been clearly defined.
Note that the dramatic voltage drop coincides with reaching 32,000 ft altitude, raising the possibility that very low ambient pressure may have caused cell top seal venting or rupturing, and allowed water in to trigger a violent reaction with lithium. Cell vents on both ship's batteries were damaged, but it is unknown at what point this happened, and whether it is a contributing factor or simply a result of the ensuing fires.
The battery is rated to 32V for normal operation, and only hits 31V in the ANA flight data record.
Getting It Fixed
To satisfy operators and FAA, Boeing re-designed the battery internals (but did not change battery chemistry), increased internal cell spacings and insulation, hardened the internal electronics within the battery housing, had their subcontractors modify the charge control system, enclosed the entire battery in a massive sealed stainless-steel container, and added an outboard titanium exhaust port. Testing showed the new system to be far more robust, and they were unable to re-create any fire scenario within the new pack and its associated system. External venting also solved any problem of secondary system damage within the electrical bay.

This is the classic case of the considerable hazards of "unknown unknowns." Those designing a system can only rarely envision all possible fault scenarios and hazards, or correctly weigh them. Simply put, they do not even know what they do not know, and should also be concerned about. They should not be allowed to validate and approve it. Yet, that is what occurred in this case at initial adoption of the technology, with competent oversight, to be sure, and extensive outside review during the correction phase. But as we have seen, it is often better to have initial hostile analysis from outside, non-vested parties when the goal is the best and safest system design. It is a well proven QA strategy in aviation that testing should not be done by the designers, as it is a long way from 1 fault in 10,000,000 flight hours to a fault after only 169 flight hours.
In the corporate universe, considerable importance is placed on meeting schedules (no matter how arbitrarily drawn or without factual foundation), so contrarian positions are not appreciated during technical reviews and problem resolution. Regardless, there is huge value in fostering some of this attitude in every company, as it can prevent everyone from drinking the hemlock when swept up in the awe and majesty of new technology. If both battery platforms had been evaluated, for example, since The Lithium-ion solution was so untried, a simple shift to back-up technology would have been easily possible. This seems like one of those situations where parallel development would have had real value for this airframe, just as multiple engines, interiors and avionics suites are provided on every major airframe.
787 test flights began with Ethiopian airlines on April 27, and ANA (the launch customer of the 787) in Japan on April 28. The world's 787 fleet should soon be back in the air and fully operational with the updated battery system package.Only further flight testing and customer feedback can prove the efficacy of the repair strategy in this system, but some points should be noted regarding the system design itself in closing.

Festival of the Parks draws big crowd
A hot day with the slightest hint of a breeze proved to be the perfect combination for the annual Festival of the Parks celebration in Minot.
Held at the Scandinavian Heritage Park for the third consecutive year, the festival was a celebration of our country's fight for independence and our city's fight to recover from the Souris River flood of 2011.
The festivities began bright and early at 8 a.m. with breakfast at the park. At 9:15 a.m. an all-faiths church service was held, followed by a performance by the Minot City Band at 11 a.m.
At noon a patriotic program was held, with music, a speech about the courage of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and how freedom is at the very heart of what our country stands for. A tribute was also held for Hardy Lieberg, who died in May 2011 and was instrumental in bringing arts and music to the Minot community.
Terri Aldrich, a member of the Festival of the Parks Committee, said the day couldn't have gone much better.
"The weather's gorgeous, the band shell is up and beautiful, and the band sounds fabulous," Aldrich said. "People are here, so I have to say it's going great."
Aldrich said next year they hope to move the event back to Roosevelt Park, the festival's longtime venue until the area was flooded in 2011. While organizers are anxious to get back to Roosevelt, Aldrich said the Scandinavian Heritage Park gave the festival a bit of a different flavor the past few years because of its smaller size.
"A little less shade," Aldrich said with a smile. "It is a much more intimate setting."
Aldrich said they plan to hold a big "welcome back" celebration in Roosevelt Park next year to mark the festival's return after the flood. She said work on organizing that will begin right around the time this year's festival ends.
While it has been nice holding the festival in the Scandinavian Heritage Park the past three years, Aldrich said it will definitely feel good to get back into Roosevelt Park next year.
"It just indicates the beginning of healing and restoration," Aldrich said.
This year's festival was dedicated to Lieberg, who was chairman of the festival committee for more than 20 years. Lieberg's widow, Patsy, was on hand to watch the tribute to her late husband, who meant so much to the festival and Minot.
"He was involved with the event from its very inception. So from 1972 on, really, almost the whole of that time he was a part of this event," Aldrich said. "He had a great patriotic heart, and he had a wonderful heart for the Minot community, as well. So that was expressed in the way that he helped to shape this event."
Viki and Matthew Collver of Minot Air Force Base brought their two sons, Dominic, 3, and Simon, 1, out and planned to attend as many events as they could before the sun set.
Earlier in the day they went to the Dakota Territory Air Museum to check out the new Flying Legends Wing and set the children loose on the bounce house.
"Then we came over here because we needed shade and the boys needed to run around," Viki said.
While the parents were definitely having fun, their boys made sure relaxation wasn't part of the equation. While Matthew hunted down some food, Viki spent most of her time keeping Dominic and Simon corralled near a tree the family had claimed for its precious shade.
The Collvers have been in Minot around four years, and have seen the city go through a flood and a population explosion in that time. Between those two events, Viki doesn't see Minot going back to what it was before the flood, but is glad to see it recovering.
Minot is a very different place than it was just a few years ago, and Viki said they preferred the smaller town it was when they first got here.
"We were originally from California and we're like, 'It's too crowded here,'" Viki said. "And we were from California."
At that point Matthew returned with the family's food. While he did get lunch, he also had a little trouble with the mustard dispenser, which his shirt paid the price for.
Matthew said he was enjoying the time with his family and letting the boys have some fun. After the Festival of the Parks, they planned to see what was happening at Roosevelt Park Zoo.
"We're trying to hit all the hot spots," Matthew said.
Considering it doesn't get dark until around 10 p.m., Matthew didn't think they'd be taking in any firework shows, as his sons would have to be in bed before then.
"We're probably going to be sitting outside with some citronella candles to keep the mosquitoes away, enjoying the fireworks from our backyard," he said.
Enjoying a day out with the family is what a celebration like Festival of the Parks is all about. Aldrich said gathering people together to celebrate what is so wonderful about our nation is all a part of what she appreciates about the Minot community. More than the buildings or the parks, Minot's people are what make the Magic City so magical.
"Minot is a wonderful place to be, and you find across the community, without exception, people are helpful, they are giving, and we just have a great community," Aldrich said. "It's such a great thing that there are members from across the community, from a variety of different organizations, occupations, that come together to make this event happen. So it truly is a community celebration, and I think that we can be proud that Minot has continued to do this since 1972."

Hey, everyone.
Today, I found out one package of the black tea which I bought serveral years ago? I left them on the shelf and just forgot it. On the package, it is said I should drink it best before 30.01.2007. I know it's nearly three years past the date. But until I open the package, the tea still looks ok and there is a fruity smell of the tea( this is an English Rose flavor).
Have you ever had the same situation like me? Could I still drink this tea? BTW, this afternoon, I have steep one pot and I feel still OK right now.

Our hero looks very greedy.If he liked to he could buy the whole team plus the state of New York plus the Eiffeltower. If I had all his money I would send someone after the t.shirt and just chill out with a cold drink and a fat cigar . To each their own.
Pauls ex- the lovely Heather- on the other hand seems to be goin on speed. All down hill there if you ask me.

Product Details
Bali Light Filtering Vertical Cellular Shades combine the energy efficiency of cellular shades with light-filtering privacy and a side-opening design. They are ideal in spaces, such as a family room, where privacy is desired but total light obstruction is not needed. These shades are available in a single-cell depth of 3/8" or 3/4" and a double-cell depth of 3/8". Because they are available in different fabrics and a wide variety of colors, they coordinate easily with all other Bali window treatments.
Bali Light Filtering Vertical Cellular Shades feature two movable side rails with locking handles, which allow the shade stack to be positioned on the right, on the left or in the center of the window. The side-opening design mimics that of a sliding door and is a stylish way to insulate wide windows and patio doors.

We Recommend:
Double cell shades offer superior insulation and sound absorption, and are a good choice in climates with extreme heat or cold.

Billband – Towards DaybreakPosted by Jay Batzner in CD Review, tags: CD Review, chamber music, Innova, instrumental, Jay Batzner, postminimalism
Music of Bill Ryan
innova records
Ashley Bathgate, cello; Vicky Chow, piano; David Cossin, percussion; Michael Lowenstern, bass clarinet; Pablo Mahave-Veglia, cello; Jonathan Nichol, saxophones; Todd Reynolds, violin; Paul de Jong, cello
- Simple Lines
- Towards Daybreak
- Rapid Assembly
- A Simple Place
- Solitude in Transit
- Friction
- Sparkle
- Blurred
Billband is another fine example of a post-minimalist/alt-classical chamber ensemble. Bill Ryan's compositions fit the model well with direct and clear musical ideas well-paced and orchestrated for his mixture of performers. Whereas (gross generalizations follow, prepare yourself) Build draws from a jazz combo sound, Newspeak leans towards aggressive and edgy literature, and Victoire centers around a subdued synth-driven music, the Ryan/Billband sound world is heavily connected to a more traditional chamber music aesthetic with occasional bits of rock drumming deftly added to the mix.
As a composer, Ryan gets a lot out of a little. His penchant for simplicity (aside from appearing in several titles) makes for affective music making. Simple Lines is just that, good melodic gestures woven together using an overdubbed Ashley Bathgate. A Simple Place contains more surface action but it maintains attractive and clear emotional trajectories. Towards Daybreak and Sparkle are other contemplative pieces which paint clear aural pictures. Blurred uses copious piano pedal and reverb to gently smear an otherwise driving pulse towards its inexorable climax.
Ryan contrasts his contemplative nature with a handful of more groovy and driving works. Rapid Assembly starts with a thin groove which picks up speed and energy as the whole composition comes together. Friction jumps right in with a heavy rock groove. To my ears, it sounds like something someone is about to rap over but no real melodic material emerges until the drums subside and the whole piece quiets down. Even in his more driving works, Ryan has a delicate hand at orchestrating his ideas. Each instrument has not only its own musical space but also serves a vital role in creating a single ensemble sound. Most of the music utilizes strings, piano, and metal pitched percussion but the woodwinds are well balanced and blended in the group (expressively played by Lowenstern and Nichol). The whole of the Billband sounds great on this disc and I look forward to more releases.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today warned four companies that the caffeine added to their malt alcoholic beverages is an "unsafe food additive" and said that further action, including seizure of their products, is possible under federal law.
Has anyone had this stuff? I saw it in the store the other day when picking up some beers. Didn't think it was best to take to a tailgate when I wanted to be productive after the game, I am going to go snag some before it all gets off the shelf.
Nice work FDA, if only it was possible to make this stuff at home... http://www.buzzfeed.com/awesomer/make-y ... o-homebrew
It is also very good that no one could possibly mix their own red bull and vodkas at home with even more potency.
This shit cracks me up. I can sleep at night now knowing I am protected from myself.
