Canada rail safety questioned after train derailment diesel leak
TORONTO (Reuters) - A Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd train derailment in Toronto caused a diesel leak near a residential area on Sunday, authorities said.
While a regulation body said there were no injuries, Transport Minister Marc Garneau told reporters about 1,200 liters (317 gallons) of diesel fuel were leaked.
The incident began with a westbound train striking an eastbound one that was changing tracks early in the morning, said Transportation Safety Board of Canada spokesman Chris Krepski.
He said both trains derailed, with the westbound one, comprising two locomotives, leaking diesel.
The eastbound train carried "small quantities" of dangerous goods in one of its last cars, but there was no leakage, Krepski said.
He said the goods included non-flammable gas under pressure, compressed nitrogen, aerosol containers, wet batteries and alcoholic beverages.
It was not immediately clear when the track will reopen.
Canadian Pacific spokesman Martin Cej confirmed the car contained dangerous goods, but said there were no public safety concerns.
"The incident was a result of human error, so there were no track issues, no signaling issues, no mechanical issues," he said. Continued...

When I was six, if a stranger asked me, "What do you want to do when you grow up?" I would have immediately responded with, "I want to be an actress." Simple, right? I'd play with my Play-Doh, put on pretty princess costumes, and wear my mom's high heels. Boy, have times changed— who plays with Play-Doh anymore? I went through high school, college, and now I am on my six "month-iversary" of working for Intel, and it seems as though my thought process and answer to the same question has only gotten more complicated.
What do you want to do when YOU "grow up?" Loaded question, huh? I don't blame you. Rarely, can people pinpoint what they'll be doing fifteen years down the line and still be happy.
As spring recruitment unfolded (one year ago today), I asked myself this question many times. And though I had years to think about it, the answer was still nebulous. But, as I sit pondering this question today, in the midst of ramping up for my second rotation for the Rotation Engineers Program (REP) —wondering where my final placement within Intel will be—I've come to a happy conclusion. With deep insight from lessons learned from others, knowledge gained through tangible mediums, and real-life trial-and-error, I created a list of steps to finding the perfect career. And the best part? These steps can work for anyone and everyone :)
DISCLAIMER: The following steps require perserverance (defined as: commitment, hard work, patience, and endurance) to achieve optimum results.
1) Know yourself:
Everyone wants to get paid for doing what they love. How? Identify AND optimize the following:
- your interests
- your talents/skills
- current job need(s)
It helps to start with a list for each and create a three-ring Venn diagram.
List One should cover "your interests." This includes activities you relish, aka your passions. (Tip: it may even help to begin with things you know you don't like to frame the picture).
List Two should cover "your talents." Detail what you're good at—because "enjoying" an activity and "being good" at it are two DIFFERENT things. Think critically about what you're good at or what your skills are.
List Three should cover "current economy needs." What does the current job market need—what jobs are highly valued and sought after? (Tip: If you're not sure, you can use your resources such as the newspaper and Google to help.)
Now look at all of your lists and try to put it into a Venn diagram. Where is there some overlap? Where are there some stand alone items? This will help you visualize where those commonalities are. For example, do you enjoy programming? Is it one of your skills? Is the market looking for more software programmers? I think you just found one commonality across all three lists. Oh! …that was simple. Now you try.
2) Choose the right company:
When you are looking for a job, it's not uncommon to live by the saying "beggars can't be choosers." And in this economy, who can blame you? Though if you are looking for a company to stay with long-term, develop your skills, and build strong technical/business/(insert other) acumen, you must exercise your right to be choosy (within reason, of course). What am I trying to say? As a self-confessed "optimizer" (i.e. a person who likes to observe all possible opportunities and optimize the outcome), I believe it is important to gather and evaluate as many job opportunities that maximize your interests, talents, and market needs. Using the career options you found from Step 1 (options that satisfy your interests, talents, and current need), add a few more variables to the mix. Consider these questions:
- What companies employ such positions?
- Are there companies more adept for this job field?
- What kind of company do you want to work for? (big vs. small, start-up vs. established, high tech/blue-collar/biomedical etc.)
Tip: Add only a few variables/considerations at a time. It's easy to fall into "analysis paralysis" aka over-analyzing a situation so that action is never taken.
3) Select a good manager
To be fair, CGs (college graduates) and incoming employees do not usually get to choose their future manager. In fact, it is more likely that your first (and most frequent) focus is to get your foot in the door. But once you are given the opportunity—perhaps after you've been with the company for a few months—I believe selecting the right manager is the most important step to career happiness. Why? Because picking a manager is like picking a partner. You invest many hours of your time (~40hrs/wk) at work, interacting with, reporting to, and obtaining feedback from your manager. A good manager helps satisfy the needs you have in a way that is most effective for you. If you're a high-touch person, for instance, you may appreciate constant feedback. This is unlike an individual who prefers to work independently, and may find constant feedback from his/her manager comparable to being micromanaged.
The bottom line: a good manager knows how to bring out the best in you, and it begins with knowing the type of person you are/how you work best. You'll soon find out that employees don't necessarily follow the work but they will follow good managers.
4) Continue to learn:
An amazing and interesting career does not start and end with the same responsibilities AND set of skills. Think about it. If you really enjoy programming, does working on the same thing day-in-out sound exciting? Don't get me wrong. I understand some people LOVE programming, but here's my point: no one wants to stay stagnant for an extended period of time. If you're forever a programmer, it's likely that you'll want to try new computer languages, make new code, and start getting "jazzy" once you're a true pro. Or, maybe you prefer to change it up more than that. Do programming and try some electrical engineering on the side? Sure, everyone is different. Or worse yet, there's the hidden terror: you lose steam for something you loved (like what often happens to me when I order the same sandwich from Subway five days in a row).
The takeaway: constantly challenge yourself and your abilities so that you don't hit a "lull" period. How? Plan. Make a list of the top three things you want to do during a set time period and THINK BIG. Each day, ask yourself what small action you've taken to achieve the goals you placed on your list. Pace yourself. And enjoy.
5) Repeat steps 1-4, as needed.
So where have these steps taken me? As a rotation engineer, I constantly reflect and reassess my career path choices with and in each rotation. My first rotation, for example, taught me that I would like to (and would benefit from) pursuing a technical Ph.D (step 1).
As you can imagine, Intel is a large company with a cornucopia of job positions. In fact, Intel offers many careers I am interested in, like: program management, technical business, and technology manufacturing (step 2). My first experience with Intel was working in the Technology Manufacturing Group utilizing my materials background to help test products. And currently, I am working in Strategic Business Planning, in which I leverage my technical knowledge to understand market fluctuation, growth, and forecasting.
I have also learned the importance of selecting the right "host" manager to help me hone my strengths, such as: my strong communication/people skills and technical ambition (step 3). As an example, my current host manager has provided me the opportunity to add value to the business group's annual forecasting project, which is high touch and visibility with senior level individuals.
Additionally, I continue to expand my knowledge and challenge my capabilities with Intel's large database of learning tools (step 4). For instance, I have taken Lean Six Sigma training, recently signed up for the "Fundamentals of Project Management," and will soon take advantage of the "Get Software Smart Program" (to expand beyond materials science, my bread and butter). And, I am not done yet. Each rotation brings new challenges, but, more so, Intel (as a fast-paced technology company) keeps me challenged.
The English theatre critic, Jeremy Collier, once said, "Everyone has a fair turn to be as great as he pleases." I actively think how I might apply Jeremy's ideology in my career. But what about YOU? As you've read this blog, have you decided that your career will be great?
…what do you want to do when you grow up?

WWE Draft...TWO Threads doesn't cover it haha
View Single Post
Join Date: Jun 2008
Posts: 7,753
There are a few problems i see with the outcome of this "Draft".I know supplemental draft is coming but:
- Why would they waste a draft pick on Big Show? Last time i checked, the unified tag team champs could go between brands anytime they wanted. At least thats the way its been in the past. Waste imo
-Why would you waste 2 draft picks on Cena? I mean it made sense when he first got moved to Smackdown, as it was a draft and anything can happen. But the last pick of the night was him back to Raw? so basically that was 2 wasted picks, since nothing changed..
-Why waste a pick on Sin Cara? sure he first appeared on Raw, and was on Raw last week...but didnt he also appear on an episode of Smackdown 2?? im confused...if they wanted him on Smackdown couldnt he have just went there like he did before?
-Why handicap one of the Main Events of the upcoming PPV? The drafting of Cena back to Raw completely screwed the Smackdown Main Event imo. After Cena was drafted to Smackdown, it and Del Rio to Raw it was up in the air you had:
Miz (Raw) champion vs Morrison (Raw)vs Cena (now Smackdown)
Del Rio (now Raw) vs Christian (Smackdown)
possibilities of Christian winning and being champ on SD, or Del RIo winning and taking the title to Raw and Miz losing and Cena champ on SD.
Now, the 3-way is all Raw again so no matter who wins will be champion on Raw. So doesnt that kinda make it obvious that Christian will win and become champion, since Del RIo is now on Raw?
make sense?
anyways..pretty poor imo

Anyone could she she made a few mistakes - but aspects of her skating are superior. Her spins are not just beautiful but difficult. For such a young skater she has beautiful lines and extensions,,,,,,and to me seems very musical.
A few have said she has "little jumps" but I think she has the biggest jumps since Yuna.
Anyway - I think some fans are so impatient they expect perfection from her and nothing less will do.
Adelina - and the others - are skating under a challenging system. This early in the season we typically see few clean programs.
Christina was a pleasant surprise - and hope she keeps it going.

One of Australia's prominent private equity firms has invested in a new angel investment fund.
M H Carnegie & Co has invested an undisclosed but "significant" amount in the Sydney Angels Sidecar Fund, which reached the first close of $10 million for the fund, the minimum threshold for registration as an early stage venture capital limited partnership (ESVCLP ).
The Sidecar Fund is expected to approach the Innovation Australia board in a few weeks to seek unconditional registration as an ESVCLP.
Proto Investment Partners and Sydney Angels, who sponsored the successful capital raising, said the fund would stay open for another three months and was expected to close with a maximum of $15 million capital.
Proto is the manager of the fund, which will co-invest with Sydney Angels' members in early-stage ventures.
"The fund will commit about 50 per cent of its capital to second-round investments in early-stage ventures. The added draw of larger co-investments by M H Carnegie & Co, in addition to the fund's investments, will provide a compelling alternative for Australian early-stage ventures that currently are forced to head offshore for later capital rounds," Proto director Jeremy Colless said.
Proto partnered with Sydney Angels to capitalise on the angel group's deal origination, deal evaluation and deal management processes to access high-quality, early-stage investment opportunities.
Besides M H Carnegie, investors in the fund included Sydney Angels' members, individual angels, as well as domestic and international sophisticated investors.
Sydney Angels co-founder and Proto director Vivian Stewart claimed the establishment of the fund was a major event for the angel sector in Australia.
"One of the challenges entrepreneurs typically face is simply raising enough money to reach relevant milestones. A second challenge lies in trying to source follow-on funding without being distracted from executing the business plan. We believe the fund will address both these issues by increasing the available pool of capital at the angel stage."
The fund plans to invest in 25 to 30 early-stage companies over the next five years. Investments will range from $100,000 to $500,000.

Bristol seeking ideas for Walley school re-use
Town looks to lease Walley School
Building has been vacant for nearly 10 years
By Erik Dickervitz
Interested in taking over an old school? The Town of Bristol has one to lease.
Although it occupies a prominent spot on the northwest corner of town common, the former Walley School at 260 High St., has been shuttered for nearly 10 years, costing taxpayer money for maintenance and missed opportunity costs. Last year a group of Roger Williams University students came up with a preliminary plan for the building to be converted to an arts center, creating an affordable incubator where artists and art enthusiasts can mix and mingle in a creative environment. While such a use is still open for discussion, community planning director Diane Williamson said that the town is currently seeking any and all interested parties who have a viable plan to re-use the vacant building.
"We want to see if there's anyone out there who is interested in a public/private partnership," Ms. Williamson said.
The Town of Bristol is requesting proposals for the approximately 18,000-square-foot building to identify a qualified person or group who will reuse the building with a use or uses that will put it back into productive use. Besides occupying an otherwise vacant building, town officials said that a successful plan must have a significant positive economic impact on the community. The town will consider lease proposals up to 99 years, including public, private partnership proposals.
Details of the town's RFP (request for proposals) are posted on the town's website, www.bristolri.us. Proposals must be filed at the town clerk's office by noon on June 26, 2013.

How to Grow $500,000 on One Acre & Peace on Earth
By Anna EdeyIsn't that title a grabber? What more could one ask for? Wait, there is more in the second subtitle: "Revealing the Truth About How We Can Provide Electricity, Heating, Cooling, Transportation, Food, Solid Waste and Wastewater Management in Ways that Reduce Pollution and Depletion of Resources by 80 percent or more, and that At The Same Time Reduce Cost of Living and Improve Quality of Life". At first glance, Anna Edey may sound a little 'out there', but isn't that what we need; people who venture beyond conventional thinking to solve problems? Edey has been working on these solutions from her farm in Martha's Vineyard since 1977 and has developed a remarkable "solar dynamic, bio-benign" living system. Edey wisely began her book with a lengthy section of color photographs of her farm, greenhouse, and waste management system that will convince you it exists and works. It will also make you envious of her lifestyle with year-round tomato plants and a salad garden in the kitchen, and a greenhouse that produces 1600 servings of her famous organic salad mix a day; without an artificial heat source! Edey relates the remarkable story of the development of her farm, her research and experiments with greener living designs, and the details of constructing and maintaining them. She also issues a "Call to Action" where she envisions grander uses for her designs; greener schools, businesses, municipal solid waste facilities, even the White House! Softcover 224 pp

So who has "improved" these new bad boys?
Dustin - how did that supercharged new 380 go?
Got it sorted yet?
How about a quick update?
I get my boat delivered in March, it has the new no cat 380's then I'll be looking at all the options to bump up the ponies a little.
Ray - Do you have an upgrade kit in development for these new engines?
Bob - got some new cams for these guys?
Anyone else?
I am still undecided whether to go SC or stay NA.
Let's see the options.
I'm sure many are interested.

The electric radiant floor heating you find in many homes these days has come a long way. Did you know that underfloor warming has been around since nearly 5,000 B.C.? These primitive methods weren't nearly as advanced as a SunTouch or NuHeat system, but the core concept of radiating heat in the floor hasn't changed.
The earliest examples date back to ancient Korea and Manchuria, where fires were built in stone-covered trenches below primitive dwellings. The stones would then heat up and radiate heat into the rooms above, while the smoke would pass through to a chimney located outside the house. Known as an "ondol" or sometimes "gudeul" system, this technology evolved into a structure where the fire was used both to heat the floor AND a kitchen stove.
Perhaps the most famous example of early floor warming comes from the Ancient Romans and Greeks and the so-called "Roman Baths." In addition to heating baths, "hypocaust" technology was used to heat homes and buildings, both public and private. Since the system required constant attention to a fire furnace, and could become expensive with fuel costs, it was seen primarily in upper-class villas and public baths.
Hypo, meaning "under," and caust, meaning "burnt," relates to a fairly advanced system of underfloor heating. The house was built on several rows of pillars with the floor being a layer of concrete sandwiched between two layers of tiles. This basement area was called the "caldarium" and is where the baths were commonly located. The furnace was located at one corner of the caldarium and was usually built under the master bedroom or kitchen. The building would also feature empty spaces or hollow bricks in the walls so the smoke could rise up out of the roof without polluting the inside of the house.
Although these two systems are quite similar, hypocaust is generally considered the Western form of floor warming, while ondol is native to Eastern civilizations. Hypocaust technology spread as far as Turkey, Iraq, and Algeria, while Ondol continued to be popular throughout all of Asia. After the decline of the Roman Empire, hypocaust systems evolved into the Gloria system, which had a slower rate of combustion and allowed for smaller and cheaper fuels such as hay.
As you might imagine, the biggest problem with these primitive underfloor heating techniques was carbon monoxide poisoning, caused by fumes leaking through the floors. By the 19th century, many ondol, Gloria, and hypocaust systems had been replaced by early types of water boiling-based systems. In the 20th-century many new forms of radiant heating emerged, such as that seen in Frank Lloyd Wright's famous line of Usonia homes. Today, underfloor heating can be divided into electric and hydronic systems.

The hire is the latest in a long series of recent reports that suggest Apple is hiring a wide variety of health and medical sensor experts for its upcoming iWatch product. According to Raymann's LinkedIn biography, his main research is in "how to optimize rest and activity", "non-pharmacological approaches to promote sleep", and "interpretation of ambulatory physiological and biomechanical data". He did other research on sleep and coffee, power napping, and he founded the Philips Sleep Experience Laboratory, a non-clinical sleep research facility. Philips Research has been involved in many major technological advancements, including the development of the compact disc, LED lightbulbs, the MRI, and more. The hire suggests Apple could be looking to help iWatch buyers with tracking and improving sleep, while also possibly tracking other health data like pulse and activity, and blood data like glucose levels. Several current fitness tracking devices are designed to track both sleep length and sleep quality. For example, bands like the Jawbone UP and the Fitbit Force are both able to slip into a night time monitoring mode that keeps track of sleep. Philips confirmed to 9to5Mac that Raymann no longer works at the company, but would not say where he was currently employed.

Where I stayed
What I did
Washed, chilled and swam in the most beautiful water.
I was swimming one day, minding my own business when this little fish literally swam up to me. It's such an unexpected thing to have a little thing swim towards you instead of away from you that my mind didn't know how to react. My subconscious automatically assumed that for this brave fish to come chasing me it must have some very strong means of protecting itself. I didn't mind it chasing me as I was in shallow water and could quickly move out of the way. Things changed when we went out further in the sea for a proper swim. As Paul and I stopped for a breather I saw this David of a fish, no bigger than a goldfish, swimming towards me, Goliath. And we all know what happened to Goliath. I swear I heard the 'Jaws' music in my head. I panicked and started splashing and screaming shouting 'the fish the fish'. I nearly walked on water I swam so fast to the shore, still screaming my head off. It was only when I saw Paul with a very rare look of embarrassment on his face I realised that I'd screamed the beach down over a teeny weeny fish. Ooops. Tried and failed at a dignified exit from the sea.
Another great thing about being in Boracay was that we got to meet other travellers. On one night we met a British/Ozzie couple James and Kelly and we all decided to go for dinner together. We went to a fantastic Tapas place and had a great night exchanging travel and diving stories. It's great that we have the freedom to ask a random couple out for dinner just because we're travelling. Wow think of all the new people we could get to know if we did that in our every day lives.
On our last day in Boracay we ended up room-less as we hadn't quite clarified when we wanted to check out and the staff had given away our room. To make it up to us they set us up in a swankier place, in one of their swankiest rooms for the same price. Sweet! Although unfortunately I didn't sleep that well as I was convinced I'd seen a spider in the bed. Which reminds me.....
One of the things we forgot to mention in our previous blog was a particular night in Siquijor. It was the middle of the night and both Paul and I were asleep. I felt something on my leg and since I'd seen a cockroach that day my mind immediately thought cockroach. I got up and looked around and sure enough I see a dark oval shadow the size of a cockroach on the bed. In one gravity defying move I managed to go from sitting on the bed to jumping over Paul and arrive standing by the bed. All the while screaming like a banshee. Paul who till that point was in deep sleep was suddenly woken up by all the commotion. For some reason he assumed I'd seen a rat on the bed. So he also jumped out of bed like it was on fire, screaming his head off too. (It was the first time I'd heard him scream, very funny caveman like noise) So there we were, the pair of us, in pitch darkness screaming and jumping. I moved to the left and felt something scrape against my leg. 'It's still on me' I hollered' and both of us screamed some more. It was only then that one of us (me!) had the good sense to switch on the light. The thing that scraped against my leg turned out to be my laptop wire, whilst on the bed there was no sign of any cockroach. Only the curtain blowing in the wind, which could have easily touched my leg as I slept. We realised that we were acting like nutters, and got the giggling fits. It took us forever to stop laughing. It might not have been a very restful night but it certainly was worth our bleary eyes the next morning.
Ah sorry I've digressed.
See you back in Manila for our last day in the Philippines (sob, sob)
Lots of love
Karen & Paul

Justin Hymes, Allegany
Congratulations to the NBC25 Student Athletes of the Month. Our male Student Athlete of the Month is Justin Hymes, a senior at Allegany High School. Justin plays football and basketball, and also throws the shot for Allegany. This season he was selected to play in the Crab Bowl football all-star game.
"A lot of people say they're student athletes, but I think it means the combination of not just being a student and participating in athletics, and being good at one, but being able to balance the two," said Justin.
Off the field Justin carries a 4.3 GPA and is an academic tutor. He's also a member of the National Honor Society and is a Maryland Distinguished Scholar. Justin recently signed a letter of intent to play football at Yale University, where he plans to major in political science or pre-law.
"It never really sunk in until pretty much as I was signing, as I was signing the line, that I actually was going to play football at an Ivy League school, and all the opportunity that came," said Justin.
Our female Student Athlete of the Month is Martinsburg senior Lauren Taylor. Lauren is a four-year letter winner in soccer for the Bulldogs, and has also run track. This season, Lauren was selected to be a captain of the soccer team.
"[A student athlete is] someone who is able to balance both their school and athletics and excel in both, and help their teammates to do the same," said Lauren.
Lauren maintains a 4.14 GPA, is a member of the National Honor Society, and has dedicated herself to community service, including raising more than $10,000 for Hospice, and organizing a bake sale that raised more than $5,500 for Martinsburg police officer J.R. Butcher as he battled cancer.
"I feel that, if the community is going to help me pay for school and college, through their taxes and all the scholarships I'm applying for, I should try and give back to them," said Lauren.
Congratulations again to Justin Hymes and Lauren Taylor, the NBC25 Student Athletes of the Month.

Using Drupal Feeds Module to Import Content from MS Access
Drupal Feeds Module works brilliantly, but there is a couple weird gotchas when working from MS Access to Drupal that are worth documenting:
- Seems self-explanatory, but since you are importing as .txt or .csv make sure you remove all carriage returns. In MS Access this involves writing an update query and doing a replace on all Chr(10) and Chr(13). e.g. Replace(Replace([myfield],Chr(10),"
"),Chr(13),"
")
- Although CCK Date fields import perfectly as MS Access dates, published dates do not. This is because the published field in Drupal is a Unix Timestamp which is a quite different than Access dates.
To fix you need to first account for the difference between the start dates of the two time systems and then account for the fact that is decimal days and unix is seconds (or something like that.
Access -> Unix
DateDiff("s", #1/1/1970#,[myAccessDate]) AS myUnixDate
Unix -> Access
DateAdd("s", [myUnixDate],
#1/1/1970#) As myAccessDate
Exporting from MS Access can also cause you problems with Memo fields. Strangely, if you use Text Qualifiers your exported Memo fields will be truncated to 512 characters. Don't do that.There is a better way - export tables not queries and this won't happen.
- If Importing Taxonomy fields to Drupal, you'll need to edit your Taxonomies at least for now to Free Text. You can set them back later, but at least for me, even if the Term existed it wouldn't insert unless I set it to Free Text. Your mileage may vary.
- Apostrophes will cause you nightmares. They terminate strings early. Replace them with right apostrophes or quotes.
- Real HTML required. If you're like me and you've stored all your  as  in your ASP and .Net applications to get around Microsoft injection filters you'll have to undo all that silliness.
And I think that's it. If I remember any more from this evening I'll edit this post. Good times.

New pupil Sophia was introduced to tutorial discipline when Lucy entered with her latest punishment note. Seconds later Lucy had her legs smacked for being insolent whilst Sophia looked on in shock. Whilst Hargreaves explained to Sophia that the same could happen to her, Lucy was cheeky again whilst standing in the corner which earned her a second dose of leg-smacking. This was swiftly followed by a bare bottom spanking from The Tutor. Sophia found this amusing so Hargreaves decided that she should find out just how "funny" a sore bottom could be. Lucy was sent back to the corner and the new girl took her place over the Tutorial lap for her first ever spanking! Sophia wasn't laughing after a few stingers over her navy blue gym knickers and was even less amused when The Tutor pulled them down and continued her introduction to corporal punishment on her bare bottom. Hargreaves only stopped when Sophia was crying tears of pain and shame, rather than laughter. Lucy was then called out of the corner, bent over the desk and slippered hard on her still stinging bottom. After a hard slippering, Lucy was dismissed still crying and sobbing, leaving a very nervous looking Sophia to ask whether she would get the same. The Tutor answered by putting the scared schoolgirl across his knee for a long, hard, bare bottom spanking that left her red raw and crying uncontrollably. After a warning from Hargreaves, Sophia was dismissed with her head in a daze, her bottom ablaze and mascara all over her face from her tears.

First look: Mint Leaf
The goods:If you've ever been to London, you probably know that the best food in town is usually being served in a restaurant that specializes in Indian fare.Maybe it's because teatime is the only "meal" the Brits really dig. Most likely it's just that Indians have mastered the art of stimulating the senses with their incredible mix of spices. Miami is now the American outpost for London restaurateur Ranjit Sood, who brings us Mint Leaf in Coral Gables. Seating around fifty, this little spot fills its dance card Thursday through Sunday nights with folks who have been feeling the need to deviate from the steakhouse/Italian-inspired fare common in the City Beautiful's culinary repertoire.
Tables covered with white linens, square-shaped white plates decorated with tiny mint leaves and a new-agey water feature give Mint Leaf a posh yet relaxing vibe. Of course, there's a television — plasma, no less — playing the great dance scenes from all the hottest Bollywood hits from Arandhana (your favorite, what a classic!) to Devdas (the remake with Aishwarya Rai). There's your icebreaker for that blind date: "Check out how the actors almost kiss, but never do!"
Ranjit patrols the tables, making recommendations for the unsure and reminding the enthusiastic to make their reservations for the next visit. Saturday nights, he says, he has folks who wait up to an hour to be seated. That's some serious dedication to chutney and naan.
The grub:The menu focuses mainly on North Indian cuisine, with a mix of vegetarian and meat-based dishes. For starters, try the lasooni jingha, shrimp marinated with ginger and garlic and a bit of yogurt, then baked in the clay oven. Or the Mint Leaf tokri chaat, which is a unique dish made with grated potato deep fried in the shape of a small bowl, then filled with a mixture of fruit, yogurt, chutneys and lentil doughnuts. As for the entrees, the tandoori lamb chops are tender and served floating in a spicy red sauce that's delicious over their lemon rice. A nice choice for vegetarians is the makhani matar paneer, with fluffy cubes of fresh cheese floating in a spicy sauce that you can wipe clean with a piece of warm garlic naan.
All of the cheeses, yogurts and chutneys are prepared at the restaurant. The desserts are innovative and in perfect proportion, especially considering you've just eaten like a wolf. The gajjar ka halwa is a small bowl of mashed carrots mixed with sugar, pistachios and almonds served warm and topped with vanilla ice cream. Their signature dessert is the badam halwa, made from ground almonds, milk, sugar, butter and saffron.
The Verdict: There's always room for a high-quality Indian restaurant in Miami, and Mint Leaf is a welcome addition to the Coral Gables culinary scene. Just make sure you call ahead.
Mint Leaf, 276 Alhambra Circle, Coral Gables; 305-443-3739

text: in southern CA i see a LOT of stupid lifts... mostly from people who will never even see a dirt road. these are the 2 most common mistakes people make with their lift. it scares me to see it on the highway doing 70+ first you probably know; lift blocks. dont stack them! seriously!... dont do it. a steep embankment, huge pothole, a heavy trailer, even an abrupt lane change they can separate and/or crack. spend a little extra and get a combination of good shackles and purpose built springs if you want to go that big... second is the front sway bar end links. its easy to forget that the sway bar needs to be perfectly parallel to the lower control arm in that slight downward angle... i saw what must've been a 45-degree angled front sway bar this last weekend with bent up end links. dude had terrible body roll on the interstate trying to stay in its lane... moron.. so fabricate something if you need to, but for secure steering you need that sway bar perfect. ESPECIALLY with a lift im amazed CA does not have safety inspections... it would totally help our traffic cause half these people would need to stay home lol just an fyi. thanks. carry on.

On The Beach… With Beverly Baxter
Oooh, that stench! Can't you smell it! If you think that the stench from the Beach 108 Street Sewage Treatment Plant is awful enough, particularly in the summertime, then wait 'til you hear, and smell, what's going to be coming down Newport Avenue! It seems that there's a "dirty deal" well underway and the construction is happening right under our nose!
While attending a meeting recently at John Baxter's office, I was introduced to Floyd Smith who, along with his organization, The Concerned Citizens For Riis Park, has been the watchdog over the park for the last 27 years. He told me that there was a pipeline being dug under Jamaica Bay. While rollerblading around the park, I have often noticed continuous construction on the Mall area; and perhaps like many, I merely assumed that they were fixing up the mall or adding more recreational amenities; however, neither is the case. I contacted Billy Garret, Superintendent of Jamaica Bay who referred me to Dave Avrin, Assistant Superintendent of Operations. What he so willingly told me was astonishing. Indeed, the people of Rockaway are now going to be the beneficiaries of sludge...from Brooklyn!
Avrin stated that there is, in fact, a pipeline being built under Jamaica Bay to transport sludge to the mall at RIis Park and then to transport it to the Sewage Treatment Plant on Beach 108 Street. Perhaps this is the reason for the most recent construction on Newport Avenue. Avrin stated that it would be cost effective, rather than upgrade, the smaller plant at Floyd Bennett Field and more efficient to run a pipe under the bay and then pump it up through Riis Park!
I assure you I am not a scientist, however, it seems to be quite an engineering feat at best! Or the worst possible experiment with the homeowners being assessed the cost for the construction on Newport Avenue.
When I asked Avrin the cost of the entire project, he could only say that
it was in the obvious millions and part of a larger water and sewage utility project. He was also unable to give me the name of the contractor. The contractor has incurred problems with the drilling, the project is at a temporary stalemate, and negotiations are going on between the National Parks Service and the contractor to determine what their options are in order to continue the project. What are our options as residents of Rockaway??
Evidently none, because the Federal Government can do whatever it wishes and the homeowner will be assessed for it.
Perhaps the recent press release about the Borrow Pits being filled is a
deterrent, and while they are filling the Borrow Pits, they are actually bringing the sludge right down through the heart of the west end. According to John Baxter, it is "the silt at the bottom of the Borrow Pits that provide nourishment for the grassland in the bay; and this kind of dumping will strangle the eco-system in Jamaica Bay."
The Committee to Preserve Rockaway (C.P.R.) met recently at Dr. Geraldine Chapey's office to discuss the potential decision by Gateway to lease to the city the northeast portion of the Riis Park parking lot to impound 2,400 cars. It was a lively discussion attended by Sharon Gabriel, Sylvan Klein, Brian Heffernan, Bob Sullivan, Eugene Pasternak, Owen Baxter, and myself.
The roundtable discussion included the environmental impact of cars that sit dormant for an indefinite period of time to its unsightliness. Sharon Gabriel, of The Rockaway Music and Arts Council, made a poignant point of stating that RMAC, as well as The Rockaway Theatre Company, have long had difficult negotiations with Gateway because there are federal laws prohibiting the use of the federal Gateway Park land to be used for profit. Funds derived from our wonderful RMAC and RTC events are rendered in the form of "donations"; so how can Gateway, themselves, negotiate a permit with the N.Y.C. Corporation Council for use as an impound lot?
Dr. Geraldine Chapey, along with the C.P.R. Committee, will be distributing petitions that you will find in local stores over the next several days. Please sign these petitions! It is only through activism that we can have any kind of say over what happens to Rockaway.
I was speaking with John Baxter about the proposed lot and his determination and documented research never ceases to amaze me. A few years ago he had done extensive research on the legality of the tolls on the Cross Bay and Marine Park Bridges. In his folder he found a Memorandum regarding the jurisdiction and ownership of the Traffic Circle at Riis Park and it included a map of jurisdiction of the parking lot. According to this map and Chapter 162 of the Law of 1934, "Robert Moses as Park Commissioner assigned to the Marine Parkway Authority certain lands north of the northerly line of Rockaway Beach Boulevard within the confines of Jacob Riis Park."
According to Baxter's papers, the Marine Parkway Authority became the New York Parkway Authority, which then became the Tri-Borough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, and is now the M.T.A. According to this map obtained by John Baxter, Rockaway Beach Boulevard was once called Washington Avenue and a portion of the land that is north of Washington Avenue/Rockaway Beach Boulevard is actually under the jurisdiction of the M.T.A. as it was deeded to The Marine Parkway Authority by, at that time, Parks Commissioner Robert Moses. Therefore, our dispute may in fact be with the M.T.A. and not with Gateway.
The Rockaway City Committee has been meeting very frequently and there is quite a buzz of interest around our town (I mean, around our "city"!). There are plans for an election with a referendum to take place in the spring of 2002.
The committee is on a fact-finding tour to determine precisely what the city owes Rockaway over the past 85 years. John Baxter states, "if we could compare the way we were with the way we are now and compare ourselves with other communities, we will see that we have been steadily depreciated over the past 85 years."
He continues to state that "we started out as a thriving, worthy, and profitable community and the city has created the blight and devalued our land; and in deliberately doing so, the city now doesn't have to provide more of the services that other areas receive because we have become, or rather, they have created us to be, a bad investment with a low tax base."
In other words, Baxter states, "They don't invest properly in our area because there isn't enough bang for their buck! But the city created our current state. Our Community Planning Board has been railroading projects through our community for years. They were initially created to advise the Borough President of the needs and wants of a community; but
instead, they act not on behalf of the community they're suppose to serve, but rather on behalf of the will of the Borough President's Office and they continue to railroad these projects through. There are now more low-income housing, for people earning less than $10,000 a year, being built at Wavecrest by the Goldfarb Organization. If we were Rockaway City, we could stop this. We would have a say in our own future."
John Baxter has received lots of press lately with articles about his candidacy for the city council featured in The New York Times, The Daily News, The Queens Tribune and The Chronicle. "You know a lot of people are saying that I'm talking about the Charter for Rockaway City in order to somehow advance or gain attention on my campaign. This is nonsense! What I discovered is a "will" a Charter voted on and put forth by the Rockaway people of 1915. The Charter is in place. It is deemed valid. Only new, and suspect, legislation could over-turn it. All I am saying to people and presenting is that we have a choice, in our hands, for our future. Do we want to secede and become our own governing city? And if we don't, at least let any decision be the present will of the Rockaway people today. All I'm saying is that we have a Charter already in place. Do we want it? Do we not want it? Let's vote on it and let the will of the people be heard. Besides, anyone who says I'm exploiting the issue for political gain is misinformed because if I were to be elected to the city council and Rockaway became its own governing city, I'd be out of a job!"
The Saint Thomas Moore Parish, through its Issues and Discussion Club, will host Candidates Night on Tuesday August 28 at 7:30 pm. Ralph Colantuoni has informed me that all candidates in the 32nd City Council race have been invited to attend.

For more information you may contact the Executive Office at email@example.com or (919) 402-4044.
The Best is Yet to Be:
Strategic Planning
How Our Chapter Developed Its Objectives for the 2016-2017 Academic Year: An important part of leadership comes from developing a vision for how the chapter seeks to build on its past and prepare for its future. Using 2015-2016 as the base year, how were current year [2016-2017] objectives developed? Moreover, what current-year actions ['inputs'] contributed to accomplishing these objectives. Further, what results ['outputs'] are expected to provide feedback [or have provided feedback] regarding the impact on your chapter. Measurability of results ['outputs'] enhances your assessment of what did or did not work. Examples of measurability could include changes in chapter membership demographics over time, changes in membership size over time, interactions among competitor student groups in addition to countless others.
Community Outreach
Building a Multi-Cultural Coalition Among Financial Information Professionals-In-Training at Our School. There are numerous 'groups' or constituencies among financial information students at your school. Share what your chapter did to strengthen its outreach into various underrepresented student constituencies in your environment. Identify those underrepresented constituencies in your environment. Do not limit your thinking to the most obvious constituencies. This outreach to underrepresented constituencies could extend to high school students who will become the next generation of collegiate financial information students
Leadership Development
Leadership Extends Beyond the Academic Disciplines Pursued by Our Members and the Student Organizations to Which Members Belong. How has your chapter provided service in 2016-2017 to your off-campus and/or university communities? What impact has been achieved to date? How has your chapter's membership served in leadership roles within these off-campus and/or university communities? What portion of your chapter was involved in this service?
All participating chapters are required to use the new logo. Failure to use the new logo during competition will result in disqualification from winning first place.

Earthquake Kills Dozens in Eastern Turkey
Officials in Turkey say more than 50 people are dead after a magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck the eastern part of the country.
The Associated Press reports that nearly 80 aftershocks shook villages in the area. The earthquake hit just after 4:30 A.M. local time about 340 miles east of Ankara. Another 100 people were injured.
The AP reports that the worst-hit area was the village of Okcular. Seventeen people died there as their homes crumbled into piles of dirt.
Earthquakes are frequent in Turkey. Much of the country lies on the North Anatolian fault. In 1999, two powerful earthquakes struck northwestern Turkey, killing about 18,000 people.
NOTE SINCE THIS ARTICLE WAS FIRST POSTED: This article has been updated to reflect that 50 aftershocks have been reported.

Howard scores in Everton loss
Tim Howard scored Everton's first goal in its 2-1 defeat to Bolton.
Linda Cuttone/Sports Vue Images
LIVERPOOL -- Tim Howard, whose No. 1 responsibility is to score goals, pulled off a rarity on Wednesday -- he found the back of the net for Everton in its 2-1 English Premier League loss to Bolton.
The former MetroStar became the fourth keeper in EPL history as to score as he tallied off a wind-aided 100-yard goal in the 63rd minute. Howard took a back pass from Sylvain Distin and booted the ball down field. The ball hit the ground some 25 yards out and took one bounce over the head of bewildered Bolton keeper Adam Bogdan and into the net to give Everton a 1-0 lead.
Howard refused to celebrate out of respect to Bogdan.
Its not a nice place to be, Howard was quoted by the Associated Press. Ive been there beforea long, long time ago and that was why I didnt celebrate.
But Howard, playing in his 250th game in England, and his Everton teammates could not hold the lead at Goodison Park.
The goal overshadowed the Everton debut of U.S. international midfielder Landon Donovan, who made his debut for the Toffees. Donovan is on loan from the LA Galaxy for two months during the Major League Soccer pre-season. Donovan, who scored twice in 13 games with Everton last year, will remain with the club through the Merseyside derby with Liverpool on Feb. 25.
Four minutes later, David Ngog equalized for Bolton, beating Howard from 12 yards on the right side of thed penalty area.
Gary Cahill beat Howard from nine yards on the right side as the hosts could not clear the ball out of the penalty area in the 78th minute for a 2-1 Bolton lead.
I was delighted that we were in the lead and would hopefully go on to get three points, but its not a nice feeling for a keeper, its really awful actually, Howard was quoted by the AP.
You could see everybody was mistiming balls. Defenders were missing clearances that normally they would put up the field
The wind is the hardest condition to play in. Snow, rain, sun doesnt matter, but the wind really does play tricks on you.
Goalkeeper goals are rare. In his first professional start, Danny Cepero struck late in the match of a 3-1 New York Red Bulls' home win over the Columbus Crew in 2008.

After 3 weeks or so lazing around in the same place, i am finally rolling on my journey and have moved off, despite screwing up my schedule by staying 6 extra days. Most people id met had begun departing in the following week since my last email, which kinda sucked, and I also got kicked out of my awesome rooftop penthouse, and had to move in with a girl i met in a creaky wooden 'hotel' halfway across town called maya de carmen, but hey, i wasnt complaining. The beach was still there, and a lot of stereotypical sasha sleeping (sss) was done that week, getting up a balmy 1 or 2, thoroughly deserved, of course, after 2 weeks getting up at 9am. Nothing significant really happened that week, or if it did i dont remember leave me alone ill tell you later in 5 minutes shush. Anyway, on Friday we all managed to get off our asses and go to Cancun to party, except that most people we were meant to go there with got lost along the way and I havent seen them since...weird...But I went with my girl, lets call her D, and no relation to Jehungry, and we met up with Katja and some Mexican breres we encountered in Playa. One of them, Juan Carlos, drove us to this club where the rest of his crew were, but let me point out that this so called 'driving', was done after ol' Juan had consumed a bottle of Bacardi, funnily enough some Guiness, a Modelo Negro, and a few tequilas, the latter three in our prescence, and with a random concoction of music blaring on the 30 minute ride to the hotel district of Cancun, which looks exactly like Vegas, except louder, apparently. Hmm. We spent the night in a place called Carlos and Charlies, with lots of yanks being yanks, except us, and Juans friends, who are without a doubt the biggest classes I have encountered so far. In Mexico that is. Im pretty sure they were pretty high on drugs at the time, or else theyre just plain weird. The next day, forced by se�orita D, we departed for Merida at 8am, since it was 6 hours away and we didnt want to arrive in the evening. Sasha was not too happy about this idea, but what could he do? eh? nothing i tells you. Merida was in the next state, Yucatan, after Quintana Roo, where Playa and Cancun were. Merida was a colonial town inland, so no beach anymore goddamit, with the oldest catholic church in mexico. Merida was built around a big Plaza in the centre. Merida was about 45 degrees. No kidding. So, despite a single venture outside meaning your clothes for the day were pretty much soaked, we nevertheless obliged by exploring it. Everything further than 4 or 5 blocks from the Plaza, was pretty much ghetto, I have to say. We made the mistake of looking for the local market, but upon locating it, discovered that this maket produced such a large array of abominable odours and throng of repulsive spilled lliquids on the floor that...well there is no conclusion to be drawn...it was gross. Sunday we decided to ditch that party and head up to the beach, because beach is best. Best is beach. Beachbest. Bestbeach. Ok, concentrate...yeah, it was called Progresso, on the Gulf of Mexico, and we were the only 'white' people there. I decided to try some sharkmeat...which was pretty unchewable, and then some heart-attack-inducing fried shrimp fried in cheese and wrapped in bacon, and probably fried again. Why not. For good measure. Today sucked. I had to split from D, taking a bus west to Campeche, while she took one east back to Cancun, to go back to LA. I was bummed, you may imagine. But then I saw something shiny and forgot all about it. The bus ride here was 2 hours, im staying in a place called Monkey Hotel, and, despite being all excited expecting a treehouse with little hammocks and monkeys with trays bringing me drinks and crap...it was just a name. Outrageous, I know. False advertising. But anyway my room is pretty much a prison cell with no windows. I talked to some hyperactive canadian triplet from quebec for two hours about skydiving, though. Then I walked around the town trying to find some food and couldnt find a single open cafe, so had to settle for Sabritas, which is what they call Lays, which is what we call Walkers. Theyre crisps for gods sake. Ok, I think i need to sleep because im starting to talk crap now. And my warden said i was only allowed an hour of exercise, which ive wasted on all of you, it seems... More photos to come soon, by the way, so check in a few days.

6:20 pm
The man who was found in Newnan's Lake has been identified as 53-year old Ollen James Rogers of Gainesville.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission recovered a body Thursday around 2 p.m. in Newnan's Lake.
The search effort began Wednesday night after friends of the man had reported he went missing in the water. He had supposedly gone boating and drinking Wednesday afternoon.
The FWC and Alachua County Sheriff's Office searched for the man during the night and all morning using a helicopter, dive team and boaters.
Deputies are continuing to investigate how the man ended up in the water.
The name of the missing man is not being released at this time because authorities are notifying relatives.

Flew with Virgin Blue, the Easyjet of Australia and arrived at Hobart International Airport - so sophisticated that you take your own luggage off the trolleys after you've watched the dogs jump all over them looking for fruit.
Hobart looks nice arriving on the bus - hilly suburbs with pretty little houses, though the centre is just the same as any other city - mini skyscrapers and shopping malls.
Stayed at the Pickled Frog Backpackers, simply because I liked the name, though in reality, whilst the bar area is very good and sociable, the rooms are a little on the grotty side, and meet Kasu from Japan, who is also on my Tasmania tour.
Wednesday 22nd December 2004
Another early pick up, at 6.15, and also meet Sandy, from Switzerland, who had also been staying at the Pickled Frog, and then get a free guided tour round town picking up about 14 others.
Today is a bit of a driving day, onto the west coast of Tasmania. Once you get out of Hobart, Tasmania is very green, and isolated, with rolling fields like the UK, and then huge granite mountains out of nowhere.
My diary gets a little confused here, but I think we went to see two waterfalls on a forest walk - firstly horseshoe falls (yes they do) and then Russell Falls.
Onto Mount Field National Park, where we see some very tall trees, as well as the odd wallaby passing by.
Thursday 23rd December 2004
Walked for a few hours to see Montezuma Waterfalls, across a walking suspension bridge which swayed quite strongly when prompted - (usually by me when there is somebody else on it!), with a nice walk there and back.
Onto some sand dunes, which stretched on for miles, for some quad biking, which across the dunes was awesome - just wished they would have let me use fifth gear! Quickly followed by sand boarding - did this on the west coast of the mainland of course, but this time did it standing up - easy - it really was - probably helped by the sand being a little slower here.
Onto the place we were staying at Tullah, where we crossed the lake in canoes, and I had, and comprehensibly lost a canoe water fight. Whilst getting drier (and colder), it was nice criss crossing the lake, with spectacular scenery, and very funny.
Navigation wasnt our strong point - we ended up landing at the wrong bay and wondering why it looked different, but after temporarily kidnapping a small dog into our boat, we made it back eventually!
Friday 24th December 2004
Cradle Mountain - the mountain to climb in Tasmania.
Choice of walks - around the lake, along the side, half way, etc, etc, but I really wanted to climb - unfortunately, the weather was against us - you couldnt actually see the mountain because of the cloud, and hence we climbed halfway, where the weather got worse so we retreated just past "Marions Lookout"
Nevertheless, excellent views, at least intermittently, on the way up and down, of mountainous area, with numerous lakes, and lower down, spotted a solo wombat - now I know you think I made that name up, but see the picture below - they do exist! (Also forgot to mention a few weeks ago I saw a Possum as well)
Weather has the last laugh as well - as we get down, it clears completely, and we can see the spectacular view of Cradle Mountain - but no longer have the legs or the time to climb again
Saturday 25th December 2004
Wake up Xmas morning at 6.00, sharing a dorm with Kazu, the Japanese Guy, and Anchi, the Taiwanese guy, so Xmas is highly relevant here! - Bizarrely though, they do celebrate Xmas in Japan - purely as an excuse to celebrate something!
First of all a nice refreshing walk to Cataract Gorge, and then onto Ross - nice historic town, with all stone buildings - very pretty.
The highlight of the day (or even week) however is without doubt the visit to Freycinct National Park, where we climb, scrambling over slippery granite rocks, Mount Amos - and when you reach the top, the most spectacular view of a bay - Wine Glass Bay to be exact, I have ever seen - stunning.
The reason its called Wine Glass Bay is less beautiful - it used to turn red when they killed all the whales there.
Xmas party in the evening, and as usual one of the last to go to bed at 2.30am (for getting up at 6.30)
Sunday 26th December 2004
Very tired today (cant understand why), and visit local wildlife park - whilst this place looks after injured / orphaned animals (the amount of roadkills you see on the roads of Tasmania is amazing), I prefer to see the wildlife wild.
Nevertheless, saw my first Tasmanian Devil, and Koala, so not all bad, as well as lots, and lots, of snakes.
Onto short rainforest walk (after filling up on huge local delicious ice cream!), and then down to Fortesque Bay - for swimming in theory, but it was just too cold (we are only a couple of inches from Antartica according to the map).
Walk round to penguin nesting area...where we dont even see penguin nests - they only come out at night and we werent very observant.
Monday 27th December 2004
Port Arthur was the worst of the worst penal colonies, where you got sent if you committed another crime after being transported to Australia, and is now the site for a museum.
Port Arthur is also infamous for the murder of 35 people in 1996 by a madman - a subject we are banned from bringing up with any locals for fear of upsetting them - I wondered why, given it is now a long time ago, but when you get there you realise what a small town it is.
Brief tour by the guide, after which we can wander the grounds - fascinating to see how the place developed, with prisons on one side, and nice officers quarters the other. Interesting to learn we only started exporting criminals to Australia after we could no longer send them to America after independence.
Weather is not so good (summer in Tasmania is never that good - we have been lucky) and there is a lot of cloud now and the odd bit of rain.
Afternoon is spent seeing, in the rain, some cliff edges formed by the sea in various shapes - including a map of Tasmania.
Followed by our farewell meal in Tasmania - shame to be leaving as this was a very good group of people to meet - though I will undoubtedly see at least some of them when I get to Sydney.
Tuesday 28th Decemer 2004
Hobart day - wandered around Hobart, which luckily was hosting the "Taste of Tasmania" event, which coincides with the expeted arrival of the Sydney-Hobart yacht race, and has dozens of food and drinks stalls in a huge hangar.
After sampling some of the food and drink, and bumping into a guy from my Tasmania tour, wander Salamanca point, and then back to the hostel for laundry!
