Dorm Room Audit
Need some direction? Download a dorm room energy audit [pdf] !
- Turn off the lights! Easy to do, and to forget.
- Use daylight whenever possible. No need for lights during the daytime if there's a window nearby!
- Use more efficient light bulbs. Fluorescent, compact fluorescent (CFLs), LED, and other efficient bulbs use up to 90% less energy than incandescent bulbs. CFLs are the best choice in most instances, use 75% less energy, and are available for FREE from the Sustainability Integration Office.
Electronics and Appliances
Eliminate phantom loads. Almost everything electronic, especially chargers, uses "standby" power as long as it's plugged in, even when turned OFF! Unplug items when not in use, or plug them into a power strip and turn the strip off. Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory estimate that standby power, also known as the "phantom load," is responsible for 5-10% of U.S. residential energy use. If it were eliminated, 30 coal-fired power plants could be shut down for one year!
- Purchase Energy Star appliances. Energy Star certification is awarded by the EPA to products that use less energy, save money, and are better for the environment. When shopping, look for appliances that bear the Energy Star label. You can also view a list of Energy Star products here.
Use rechargeable batteries. Save money and reduce resource consumption and hazardous waste. For more information, see this site.

Using Your Fridge
Is your fridge empty? Turn OFF and UNPLUG.
Leaving for break? Turn OFF and UNPLUG.
Sharing is caring! Share fridges with friends to reduce energy use.
Don't put your fridge against the wall - leave the coils in the back open to the air.
Clean the coils on the back of the fridge if they look dusty or dirty.
Don't open the door! Well, do it as little as possible. The number one variable in fridge energy use is how often you open the door.
Climate Control
Understand how the heating or heating/AC unit works in your room: All residence halls use convection heating or heating/AC units. These units heat or cool air by blowing it over pipes filled with hot or cold (50 degree) water. These units recycle air already in the room. In other words, if you want to get fresh air into your room, you'll have to shut off the system and open your door or window!
Mudd-Blaisdell, Gibson, Oldenborg: The chillers that cool water for the AC in these dorms are turned off when outside air temperatures fall below 55-65 degrees and the boilers that heat water are turned off when outside air temperatures reach 75-80 degrees. The hallways and common areas in all of these dorms are ventilated with warm or cool fresh air.
Harwood, Wig, Lyon, North Campus: The heating in these dorms is only turned on when it is cool outside. When the heat is on in these buildings, residence can turn the knob on their heating unit to open or close the airflow flap. As long as the building heating is on, the units will be warm. Students can ask Maintenance to permanently turn off the heat to their room. Call Maintenance (909-607-2236) if your heater doesn't feel warm in the winter. The hallways and common areas in these dorms (except the short hallways in Clark III and V) are ventilated with warm or cool fresh air.
Sontag and Pomona Halls: The heating/cooling only work in these dorms when the windows in the room are shut. EAch room has an individual thermostat that can be adjusted. The screen normally displays the actual temperature. In heating mode (when room temperature is <70 degrees), the setpoint is adjustable between 60 degrees and 68 degrees. When not in the heating mode, the setpoint is adjustable between 76 degrees and 85 degrees.
Adjust your clothes, not the thermostat. Socks, hats, and sweaters make very energy-efficient heaters!
Use natural airflow to control the climate of your room or office. Use a fan instead of the AC when you can. Close your blinds when it's hot outside. don't leave the window open when the heat or air conditioning is on. Turn of the AC when you leave your room.
Call Maintenance (909-607-2236) if the heat or AC in an academic building is too high or too low.
- Go chemical-free. The RA desks provide Activeion cleaning units for student checkout - these units turn tap water into sanitizing general purpose cleaner!
- Reduce toxins. Check out the array of green cleaners at Trader Joe's, Sprouts, and Ecoterra.
- Reduce waste. Use cloths and rags instead of paper towels.
Conserve trash bags. Dump out the trash, reuse the bag.
Fix it instead of buying a new one. Have faith in your or your neighbor's fixing abilities.
Buy used. Before buying something new, post an ad on Chirps, check out ReCoop, visit a local thrift store, or browse Craigslist to see if you can get a used item instead.
Get free recycled notepads from Duplicating Services (across from Seaver North, just beyond Millikan).

You work in a firm with 75 or 80 attorneys. It's a big operation, and you're a cog in the wheel. Sometimes you feel like you lack much control over the marketing or management of the firm (that's probably because you actually lack much control). Of course, your lack of control doesn't make you any less accountable for producing revenues and generating new business. You're expected to produce results regardless of whether you're in charge.
You might, doing an objective review of the situation, feel like you're in an impossible situation. You're told to go do something and then denied the tools you need to do it. You're given the responsibility to develop business, but others control the marketing funding and decision making. The lack of control leaves you in the twilight zone when it comes to adding new clients to your roster.
Or does it?
Are you really out of control? Are you really in the twilight zone?
It certainly feels like it sometimes. You're told that you need to bump up your revenues to cover your overhead. You investigate online marketing opportunities. You talk to a company like Avvo and get information about pricing for an online listing. You take what you've learned and request that the marketing committee members approve what you consider to be relatively minor expenses.
"Denied" is the response. Of course, it's said in a much kinder, gentler manner, but the answer is still no.
You try again with something else, and again, the answer is no.
Yet, while your efforts are being endlessly frustrated, you're still expected to generate more revenue.
Total responsibility plus no control equals head-exploding frustration. Kaboom goes your brain. Ugh.
Again, I ask, are you really in the twilight zone? Are you really out of control?
Sure, they won't let you spend much money. They won't let you take interesting, innovative steps. They won't let you do things you're sure would work. But are you out of control?
I'd argue that you aren't. I'd argue that you actually have far more control over your destiny than you feel right now. I'm confident that you can affect the revenue number without the approval of the marketing committee, and you can do it right now.
You'll win at the marketing game by focusing on a different type of marketing opportunity. You'll win by doing the things the committee is trying to get you to do. I know, I know, it's depressing when they're right (I hate it more than you can know). We're usually asking for permission to do things that are easier for us. The committee is pushing back and forcing us to do things that feel hard (even if they don't articulate that idea).
Listen, we look for marketing opportunities like Avvo and other Internet listings because they're easy. They aren't stressful, and they don't cause us to start sweating and fearing rejection. An Internet listing is a simple expenditure of funds, and it doesn't involve one-on-one contact with people. It's a low-risk marketing option.
Unfortunately, low risk usually means low reward. That's absolutely the case with most Internet marketing. The payoff is proportionate to the expense and effort required.
The high-reward marketing opportunities involve building relationships. The high-reward opportunities require calling people you don't know and getting to know them. They mean picking up your phone, dialing a number, and feeling uncomfortable for a few minutes. High risk equals high reward. If it's comfortable, it's probably not terribly profitable.
Ultimately, that's what the marketing committee members are telling you. They're saying "skip the listings and go to lunch." They're telling you that you have total control over the marketing because you control your time and energy. They're saying make that phone call and go have coffee with that lawyer, mental health professional, accountant, or clergy member.
You're not in the twilight zone, and you're not lacking in control: you've got the opportunity to add to the top-line revenue number if you've got a phone for calling and a lunch that needs eating.
No one wants to hear that the old, stodgy partners on the committee are right. We want to believe that they're stuck in their ways and afraid of innovation. We might be right to an extent. But—and this is a big "but"—they've got a point. We can win at this game without innovation. We can win with the old tools they understand and appreciate. We can win with relationships and lunch.
You're not in the twilight zone. You're right here in the land of networking and relationship building. One-on-one relationships have worked since the beginning, and they're still working to build practices today.

The Calgary Stampeders have signed non-import defensive lineman Corey Mace to a contract extension.
Mace started all 21 regular-season and playoff games for the Stampeders this season, putting up 25 tackles, two forced fumbles and a sack. He even caught a one-yard touchdown pass in an Oct. 26 game against B.C.
During the playoffs, Mace recorded three defensive tackles and one sack.
The 26-year-old Vancouver native joined the Stampeders in 2010 after his rights were acquired in a trade with the Toronto Argonauts. Mace played eight games with the Stamps during his first season but was limited to one game in 2011 because of an Achilles tendon injury.
"Corey was a solid and consistent performer for us in the middle of the defensive line this past season," said Calgary coach and general manager John Hufnagel. "His durability and reliability were very important in light of the toll injuries took on us at that position this season. Coming off a season-long injury the previous year, Corey developed very well in 2012 and I look forward to even more progress next season."
In 27 career regular-season games with the Stampeders, Mace has 33 tackles, three sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery for touchdown.
"I'm very happy to get this contract signed and for the opportunity to continue my career in Calgary," said Mace. "I see great things coming for this football team and I'm thrilled that I'm going to be a part of that."Report Typo/Error

Tuna Exports Drop as Bad Weather Continues03 February 2012
INDONESIA - Fishing in Cilacap waters, Central Java, has slowed dramatically due to bad weather.
Tuna exports, for example, have declined up to 70 per cent over the past two weeks, repots TheJakartaPost.
Cilacap Fishing Boat Association chairman Sanpo said Japan had been the main destination of Indonesia's tuna exports.
"Cilacap usually exports four to five tons of tuna a day to Japan, but we could only export one ton over the past two weeks because of the weather at sea," Sanpo told The Jakarta Post.
He said fisherman and crew members were unwilling to go fishing.
"We have to postpone going to sea, hence our catch has dropped," he said, adding that many boats had to immediately moor at a nearby port to be safe.
Waves reportedly reached five to seven meters, causing 30,000 Cilacap fishermen to halt fishing activities.
"We are afraid to go to the sea. The waves are so high. Many have already fallen victim, so we have to be cautious," a Cilacap fishermen told The Jakarta Post.

Sam Burgess arrived in Manchester today and dismissed criticism of his brief return home to play in England's international against France on Saturday.
South Sydney had initially refused to release the 20-year-old Yorkshireman for the one-off Test, arguing that he should play in their game against Brisbane Broncos. But Burgess, who has made a major impact in Australia since joining Souths from Bradford last autumn, insisted that he was always keen to be involved in England's first match under his former Bradford coach Steve McNamara.
"The main reason I came over was to be part of a new set-up," said Burgess, one of three Australia-based players in the squad, along with the former Leeds second-row Gareth Ellis and the young Yorkshire-born Melbourne Storm full-back Gareth Widdop.
"It was never in doubt that I wanted to play in this game. No matter it meant flying halfway around the world, as players we should always be happy to do that because international football should be the pinnacle of the sport. There are a lot of new faces in the squad, and hopefully this game will help us lead into the Four Nations at the end of the year."
France's long injury list continues to grow, with the wings Dimitri Pelo and Vincent Duport the latest players to pull out, leaving their coach Bobbie Goulding with desperate selection problems.
McNamara has released the Cumbrian hooker Shaun Lunt back to Huddersfield to allow him to play at St Helens on Friday night, before rejoining the England squad as 18th man – suggesting he is on course for a place in the Four Nations series against Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea at the end of the season.
England are still awaiting confirmation of the opposition in their warm-up game for the series in Auckland on 16 October – probably either the Cook Islands or the Maoris – before they face New Zealand in Wellington in the first game of the tournament seven days later. They will wear red and white hoops in that game to commemorate the centenary of the first Northern Union tour.
St Helens have recalled Paul Johnson from a loan spell at Whitehaven for a possible debut at Huddersfield, when Tony Puletua should return from a back injury but Saints will be missing their England players James Graham and James Roby.
Blackpool Panthers, who only last month set a club record in a 132-0 demolition of Gateshead Thunder, have had their prop Andy Hobson suspended for five matches after being found guilty of tripping and illegal use of the forearm in a recent defeat at York. That compounds the financial problems that have already led to the resignation of their chairman Bobby Hope, with the coach Martin Crompton also considering his position.

Subject: st: Infile stops reading dataset
Has anyone ever had infile stop reading a dataset part way through a
file for no apparent reason?
I have tested the dictionaries and the data reads in correctly for the
first 3534 lines of the file, and then stops (there are 778,429 lines in
the file -- it is hierarchical).
When I try reading a different section of the file after line 3534, by
specifying _firstlineoffile() Stata reads in no observations.
The problem occurs under both Unix and Windows, and does not appear to
be related to carriage returns or odd characters in the file.
Because the dataset is quite large, and the problem appears someway into
the file I have put them on the web
(http://users.pop.umn.edu/~eroberts/no1875/) for anyone who wishes to
take a look. I have just excerpted 10000 lines of the file to reduce the
file size. An aside for anyone who does look at the
programs/dictionaries -- although most variables are (meant to be)
numeric we are reading them as strings specifically to see if there are
alpha characters in the data mistakenly.
Many thanks for whatever help people can provide

Lauren Conrad, The Madden Brothers & More Help VH1 Save The Music!
Not only did John Mayer give a hilarious speech, but LC also introduced a woman who has been crucial to her career!
It was a star studded night Nov. 9 at VH1's Save The Music Foundation Gala in NYC, and some of the biggest names in music braved the cold weather to attend. HollywoodLife.com was on the red carpet to catch up with artists like Jason Mraz, and then we got to go inside to the swanky charity dinner!
Gorgeous Broadway actress Kristin Chenoweth wowed guests with a rendition of "The Sound of Music" in honor of Julie Andrews, one of the evening's honorees. Then Natasha Bedingfield sang her hit song "Unwritten" (so if you were a fan of MTV's The Hills, you'll understand why Lauren Conrad teared up while introducing her!)
When John Mayer gave his acceptance speech, he talked about sending women bottles of wine after they give birth, and John Legend had almost everyone in tears when talking about being bullied growing up.
After the gala, guests attended the after party, hosted by Pete Wentz at BLT inside the W New York Downtown hotel.

Scott Donald grabbed a stunning win for Leeds with a last-minute try that left Wakefield shell-shocked. Trinity looked on course for their first home win over the champions since 1992 when they led 30–16 but three tries in the final 15 minutes, including two in the last four, got the Rhinos out of jail. Ali Lauitiiti and Rob Burrow both crossed to set up a dramatic finish before Donald went over with the final play of the match to snatch a dramatic two points for the champions.
Leeds's coach, Brian McClennan, elected to start with the England captain, Jamie Peacock, on the bench but Danny McGuire returned from injury at stand-off. Despite those changes Wakefield started well, battering Leeds's line in the opening minutes after errors by the Rhinos' wings, Scott Donald and Ryan Hall.
However, Trinity could not find a way through and Leeds produced a typically ruthless counter attack. McGuire's decision to test the blind side was rewarded by Jamie Jones-Buchanan finishing Carl Ablett's break. Kevin Sinfield added a straightforward conversion. Leeds' position appeared to be further strengthened when Steve Snitch was sent to the sin-bin but Wakefield refused to bow.
Ablett's desperate tackle prevented Tevita Leo-Latu crossing under the posts but Trinity's persistence was rewarded when Matt Blaymire pounced on Sam Obst's kick. Two Danny Brough penalties kept the tally ticking over and Obst's try, after another Leeds error, countered Keith Senior's score to give Wakefield a 16–10 half time advantage.
The champions started the second half well, with Senior setting Hall free. The prolific winger found Rob Burrow on his inside shoulder to set up a tense closing half hour. A fifth goal from Brough edged Trinity back ahead after Ablett and then McGuire were penalised by Steve Ganson. Brough's boot came to the fore, setting up tries for Scott Grix and Ryan Atkins, and he maintained his perfect goal-kicking, finishing with seven from seven, to leave Leeds staring into the abyss.
That they pulled themselves away from it was down to Burrow, Lauitiiti and, spectacularly, Donald.
Wakefield Trinity Wildcats Blaymire; Grix, Gleeson, Atkins, Petersen; Demetriou, Brough; Bibey, Obst, Korkidas, Snitch, Wilkes, Leo-Latu. Interchange Stosic, Moore, Ferguson, Drew.
Leeds Rhinos: Webb; Donald, Smith, Senior, Hall; McGuire, Burrow; Leuluai, Buderus, Jones-Buchanan, Lauitiiti, Ablett, Sinfield. Interchange Diskin, Worrall, Peacock, Burgess.

Urinary Incontinence
What is Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence (leakage) refers to the involuntary loss of urine from the bladder. According to recent reports by the National Institutes of Health, approximately 20 million women experience or have experienced urinary incontinence in the US. It is not uncommon to have fecal incontinence. Contrary to popular belief, incontinence is not a normal part of aging. Fortunately, most of these urinary problems and conditions can be treated.
What are the Types of Incontinence?
Stress urinary incontinence – leakage of urine during events that result from increased abdominal pressure such as sneezing, coughing, physical exercise, lifting, bending, jumping, etc.
Urge urinary incontinence – involuntary leakage of urine accompanied by or preceded by a sudden desire to urinate, also unable to make it to the bathroom in time
Mixed incontinence – stress incontinence that occurs in combination with urge incontinence
Overflow urinary incontinence – the bladder never completely empties, so it continually drips urine
Nocturnal enuresis – night-time bedwetting
How is Urinary Incontinence Evaluated?
A complete medical history will be taken, as well a physical exam. An examination of the urine may help identify causes and conditions. Specialized tests, such as urodynamic, endoscopic, and imaging provides more extensive evaluation into any conditions. You may be asked to keep a bladder diary. You may also undergo a pelvic floor evaluation.
What Treatments are Available?
Any or some of these options are individualized for each patient.
Lifestyle Changes – Avoid constipation, stop smoking,
Bladder Training – techniques that can alter the bladder's storage capacity and emptying time such as, timed urinating, retraining your bladder to urinate every 3-6 hours, double urinating
Exercise Training – keeping active, walking, core strength exercises
Pelvic Floor Muscle Training – using electronic devices to measure and track pelvic floor muscles to gain control over those muscles, Kegel exercises
Injections - Botox® is injected into the detrusor muscles to paralyze the overactive muscles
Implants - collagen or synthetic material are injected into the tissues around the urethra; the implant adds bulk and helps to close the urethra
Medications – can help inhibit bladder contractions
Pessaries – a silicone flexible ring inserted into the vagina can sometimes help
Neuromodulation – electrical stimulation is used to improve the communication between the nerves that control the bladder, this is an outpatient procedure
Surgery – usually an outpatient surgery, involves placement of a vaginal sling under the urethra

IDF 2011: Intel, Google Strengthen Android Partnership; Intel Re-ups Phone Promises
Jason Mick
September 13, 2011 1:25 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Intel has so far only released one Android tablet to the market -- the obscure Tega v2.
So far only 1 Atom tablet or smartphone has hit the market
Intel Corp. (
) CEO Paul Otellini shared the stage with Google Inc.'s (
) VP of the Android operating system, Andy Rubin at the
2011 Intel Developer Forum
at the Moscone Center in San Francisco Calif. on Tuesday morning. Intel announced that they had entered into a new partnership with Android that promises to help boost Intel's products, which have thus far struggled to compete against ARM chips in most of the mobile sector.
Late last year Intel promised
dozens of Android tablets would release in 2011
. Thus far Intel has only released one official Atom tablet in the wild -- Tegatech Australia's obscure Tega v2 design, which is a dual boot Windows 7/Android 2.1 ("Eclair") tablet powered by an Intel Atom N455 (
) system-on-a-chip.
At the press conference, though, Andy Rubin guaranteed, "All future releases of Android will be optimized for Intel's architecture."
During the event Intel also showed off a live Medfield prototype, which it says is available as a reference design to its partners. Details on the platform were scarce, but it was good to see signs of Medfield nearing market readiness, at least.
Medfield is somewhat of the
Duke Nukem Forever
of the phone world
, having seen
several delays
. Originally it was planned for a 2009 or 2010 launch, but that date has since been pushed to sometime in 2012. However, Intel promises once it delivers its first hardware it will be much faster with the followups,
hitting the 14 nm node by 2014
That's a pretty ambitious goal. If Intel can stick to it, it stands a good shot at meeting or beating
competitive ARM designs
, which will likely still be beat on a respectively larger, less power-efficient nanometer node.
Intel's Android lineup isn't entirely vaporware. Intel embedded Atom processors currently drive the entire Android-powered Google TV lineup. While that lineup has struggled, it has at least strengthened ties between the world's largest CPU maker and the world's largest smartphone OS maker.
Some sites,
have been reporting on the Atom E6xx series only receiving Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" support in January 2012, two to three months after it's made obsolete by Android 3.5 "Ice Cream Sandwich". The report's source is an
Intel slide
deck, which was recently published.
While technically true, these reports seem slightly disingenuous in that they fail to properly identify what the chip series in question is, misleading many into believing that the
chip series may be behind in Android support. Actually the chip in question is
Tunnel Creek
, which is a chip destined for infotainment systems and other embedded applications.
In other words,
Tunnel Creek
may be behind, but this has no impact on Intel's tablet or smartphone plans. Those plans have already seen enough setbacks.
Here's hoping that Intel can finally make good on its tablet and smartphone promises.

On their four hour bus trip back to Houston, the players and staff will have a lot of soul searching to do as they practically gave this game to the Ponies. Former Cougars coach Kevin Sumlin was always fond of saying that (at this level) most football games aren't won, but lost, due to mistakes. The Cougars were only trailing 28-14 at halftime but had actually outgained the Mustangs in yards (243 to 188) and by almost two hundred by the end of the game (560 to 379). So how does a team lose with those kinds of stats you ask? Easy - The Cougars turned the ball over NINE times, which led to 45 Mustang points (this in a game in which SMU won by 30). Of those 45 points, 28 were scored directly by the Mustangs defense on three 'pick six' interception returns and one was returned off of a fumbled kickoff to begin the second half. That fumbled kickoff return, by true freshman Ryan Jackson, is where the wheels began to fall off for the Coogs as that mistake turned a manageable 28-14 deficit into a 35-14 hole and to be quite frank, this team just doesn't have the necessary leaders (or coaching) to inspire the needed confidence in order to comeback from that huge of a deficit. NINE penalties for 73 yards also didn't help the cause at all.
Every phase (offense, defense, special teams and coaching) of the team failed Thursday night in an inept display of football. And the mistakes began early, as in before the Cougars first officially offensive possession of the game. After a nice 'three & out' by the defense, receiver Dewayne Peace trotted out onto the field to return the first punt of the game. The junior allowed the ball to bounce off of his shoulder pads as he promptly fumbled the punt, allowing SMU to recover at the UH 11 yard line where (three players later) SMU receiver Jerry Rice, excuse me, Darius Johnson (9 receptions 110 yards) caught a seven yard out for the games first score. While they allowed SMU only 379 yards of total offense (their third best effort stats wise), there were still too many breakdowns, especially in coverage. SMU QB Garrett Gilbert, who had not completed more than half of his throws on the season, completed 23 of his 38 passes for 260 yards with 4 TDs (and 2 interceptions). Unfortunately, the Cougars secondary made him look like the second coming of Joe Montana. On Johnson's first TD, Cougars strong safety Kent Brooks was caught looking in the backfield on a third & 6 play allowing Johnson to get by him for the score. This coverage, or lack thereof, by the secondary would be a theme all night long. On an 18 yard TD toss from Gilbert to Mustangs slot receiver Jeremy Johnson (9 receptions 94 yards), free safety Trevon Stewart was beat on a crossing pattern. Later in the game, Cougars corner Zach McMillian was burned on a deep post by Keenan Holman for his only catch on the evening, a 43 yarder for a TD that made the score 59-28 midway through the third. On Johnson's second TD (and the Mustangs final offensive score), he burned Mike Linebacker Everett Daniels in a huge mismatch. Speaking of mismatches, SMU's head coach and play caller, June Jones, had his offense in position to take advantages of the secondary's busted coverages all night long, thanks in part to Cougars defensive coordinator Jamie Bryant's typical soft zone in which he had his guys play for most of the game (with the corners back off of their man by at least 7 to 10 yards). Jones moved Johnson around the field all night so Bryant couldn't play his best cover corner, D.J. Hayden, on him, which proved to be a nice move as Hayden had his own 'pick 6' that he took 75 yards to the house early in the fourth quarter to make it a 59-42 game. Basically, it seemed like which ever SMU receiver was in the slot was a mismatch as the Cougars secondary gave them too much space. The communication between members of the Cougars back end seemed to be lacking as well with many Mustang receivers moving freely from one zone to the next without the next guy picking them up.
When speaking of bad pass coverage, the blame cannot be placed on the secondary alone. The sharing of the blame must be on the front seven as well, as they failed to place the necessary pressure on Gilbert which allowed him to just stand in the pocket and pick out his receivers at will. Cougars linebackers Phillip Steward and Derrick Mathews, who had been combining for around 21 tackles per game, only combined for 10 tackles total against a young SMU offensive line. Throughout the season, Bryant had been lining up one of them along the edge in a 5-2 look, but that proved to be ineffective against SMU as Jones kept 230 pound running back, Zack Line, in along the line of scrimmage to help in pass protection. Daniels led the backers with 10 tackles (including 3 for loss) and had a sack as he lined up more along the edge in blitzing situations.
The front four of Zeke Riser, Joey Mbu, Radermon Scypion and Kelvin King also failed to disrupt the pocket or put any pressure on Gilbert. Mbu did show nice hands on a nice interception off of a deflected pass though. The defensive line also failed in keeping contain too many times as they were pushed out of their rush lanes by the Mustangs offensive line, allowing Line to rush for 117 yards on 22 carries with 49 of those yards coming on 10 carries in an 8 minute drive in the fourth that killed any hope of a comeback by the Coogs. In all, this defensive game plan was a fail by Coach Bryant simply because he did not put his players in a position to succeed, which was sad because the defense played decently when forcing SMU to drive the entire length of the field in order to score. The defense forced six '3 & outs' on the game and at one point from the end of the first quarter through the second, SMU had gained only 4 yards on 10 plays.
Coach Bryant's failure to get his guys to play basic fundamental football was not alone however, as Travis Bush also had his worst game as offensive coordinator in his short career at UH. Quarterback David Piland finished the game 15 of 25 for 180 yards with one TD passing, but he was placed in too many 3rd & long situations due to suspect play calling, in my opinion. Teams are now beginning to key in on running back Charles Sims and too many times he was stonewalled at the line of scrimmage causing a 2nd & long situation. After too many incompletions on 2nd down, due mainly to various types of blitzing by the Stangs line, Piland finished too many drives with a 3rd & long, which is no recipe for success. With the game getting so out of hand, the running game had to be abandoned as Sims finished the game with only 55 yards on 17 carries. Kenneth Farrow only had 3 carries for 10 yards. Piland once again had a nice game running with 28 yards on 5 carries, including a nice 18 yarder to extend a drive on a 3rd & 10 situation early in the second quarter, as he made a nice decision in pulling the ball down quickly as he saw man coverage with all of the Mustang defensive players with their backs towards him. He still has a lot to learn however as he needs to sell his QB keepers better. One in particular where he pulled the ball down too quickly and ran for zero yards up the middle. The play was set up nicely though as the backfield was empty, so as to spread out the Mustangs defense from sideline to sideline.
Piland started out the game smoothly as he got into a rhythm early as he led the way on two scoring drives (of over 10 plays each) that tied the game at 14, but after SMU began blitzing more, he became a little shaky and started locking in on his receivers again. This old habit came back to haunt him right before halftime as he locked in on a receiver and Mustang linebacker Taylor Reed stepped right in front of his pass at the Cougars seven yard line, taking it in for the score to give the Ponies an insurmountable 28-14 lead just before halftime. A few plays later, after Piland was knocked out of the game with a concussion by Reed (who finished the game with 5 tackles and 2 interceptions), Crawford Jones and Bram Kohlhausen played decently the rest of the way. Jones, the veteran redshirt senior, finished the game 17 of 33 for 252 yards with 3 TDs (and 2 picks) in his first extensive playing time of his career. Bram entered the game after Piland went down and completed only 2 of 7 passes, including 2 interceptions – one of which was returned 10 yards for a score on a busted screen pass that gave SMU a 45-14 lead early in the third. With Piland possibly out next week, it's anybodies guess as to who starts against UTEP next Saturday at the Rob.
Of course the QBs would look much better if the wide receivers would learn how to hold onto the ball. In going back to another bad habit, it seemed as if the 'dropsies' once again hurt the receivers in big situations. One in particular where Daniel Spencer had the ball hit right off of his hands high into the air for an interception, this after dropping the previous pass. Spence more than made up for it later in the game catching 3 balls for 70 yards on a scoring drive, including a 7 yard TD from Jones that brought the Coogs to within 45-28 midway through the third quarter. He finished the game with 7 receptions for 96 yards and said TD. The Cougars leading receiver was Sims, who hauled in 7 passes as well, for 114 yards including a 49 yard swing pass that brought the score to within 59-35 near the end of the third. Peace finished the game with 4 receptions for 41 yards and Larry McDuffy caught 3 passes for 50 yards. Most disappointing was probably slot receiver Shane Ros, not in so much as he only caught 2 passes for 24 yards, but in how sparingly he was used after playing fantastic in the Coogs previous two wins. The biggest, but not unexpected, surprise was the coming out party of Deontay Greenberry – whom caught 6 passes for 94 yards as he seemed to be on cue early with Piland. Overall, the Cougars were manhandled along both lines of scrimmage but their offensive line in particular. Along with the play of Reed, defensive end Margus Hunt rag dolled the Cougars line, especially the right side of Ralph Oragwu at right tackle and Jacolby Ashworth at guard, to the tune of 2 sacks, 2 tackles for loss, 4 QB hurries and a pass break up.
Head coach Tony Levine must be livid at his special teams play, which in a word was atrocious. Three fumbles by the punt and kickoff return teams led to 14 SMU points (and probably would have been more if not for that Mbu interception inside the Cougars 20 yard line). Peace isn't even averaging 5 yards a return on his 11 on the season. His problem is that he wants to make a move laterally, instead of just planting his foot in the grass and taking off up field, like he did last week against UAB in which he had his best return of the season (of 29 yards). Jackson is barely averaging 18 yards per kickoff return on his seven on the season. The Cougars are better just hoping the opposing team kicks into the endzone so they can get a touchback, giving the Coogs the ball at the 25 yard line, as opposed to inside the 15 that has occurred too many times when Jackson ill-advisedly attempts to return one. The two fumbles by Peace and Jackson also came at bad times (as if there are good times to fumble the ball), as one came at the beginning of the game (in Peace's case) and one to begin the half (Jackson), which handed over any momentum the Coogs had right over to the Mustangs in both cases. Luckily Richie Leone had a few nice booming punts and is still one of the nations best in averaging 47.7 yards per punt. Football is said to be a game of field position, and because of the horrible special teams play SMU began their drives at their own 40 yard line on average, with the Cougars beginning on their own 22.
It's also said that coaches coach and players play. While this may be true, it's up to the coaches to put their players in the best possible position in order to succeed, and that's not what the coaching staff did Thursday night due to a few peculiar coaching calls. After a 92 yard scoring drive that put SMU up 21-14 with just over a minute to go before halftime, the Coogs caught what appeared to be a break with a Jackson 44 yard kickoff return. Unfortunately a holding call pushed the ball back to the Cougars 8 yard line. Instead of running the ball a few times and going into halftime only trailing by a TD, Levine has the offense go up-tempo and on a 2nd & long, Piland telegraphs the pass that Reed intercepts for a 'pick 6' to put the Ponies up 28-14. So now after they receive the kickoff they take a knee and head to the locker room for sure, right?? Of course not, in trying to go up-tempo yet again, Piland gets KO'd by Reed knocking him out for the game, and for who knows how much longer. This 'pedal to the medal' offensive philosophy (no matter which QB is in the game) must be slowed down at times. Sometimes it's ok to run the clock out and head to the locker room to regroup. The other peculiar move to me was the switching of QBs. I guess I can understand taking Bram out of the game after tossing two picks, but then put him back in the game in the fourth quarter, when it's all but over anyway just to let him get some playing time. The coaching staff has no idea if he can be the QB of the future (or even the starter next week if Piland is out) if he doesn't receive meaningful snaps in game action. And of course on the second muffed punt return attempt, why were there even any Cougars anywhere near the ball? In that situation, in which Luke Stice kicked the ball as he tried to step over it, once the ball hits the ground no Cougar should be anywhere close to the ball, in order to avoid exactly what happened – another turnover. That one is squarely on the coaching staff and special teams coordinator Jamie Christian, in my opinion. Also, there is no reason for Peace or Jackson to return anymore punts and kickoffs as they've showed that they cannot handle the respective jobs. Damian Payne had a nice 10 yard punt return that was also wiped out by a penalty (surprise) and Farrow has done a decent enough job on kickoff returns to let them continue holding onto the jobs, until proven otherwise. Payne returned a punt 76 yards for a TD last season at Tulane and some had said he was going to be the heir apparent to Patrick Edwards; alas it was not to be as Peace has done a better job in practice apparently.
In all, it was a very rough night for the Cougars, but they can still win the CUSA's Western division if they win out (which right now seems mightily suspect), and Tulsa defeats SMU in Dallas the last game of the regular season. They say adversity makes the man, well we're about to find out with our Coogs, starting next Saturday as they host the UTEP Miners at the Rob at 3pm on CSS. Despite their play Thursday night, this team still deserves our support.

October 1, 2013
The Chicago Cubs unveiled their new logo to celebrate Wrigley Field's 100th year in 2014, designed by Brandon Ort, a 2007 Cedarville University graduate.
Ort, who was a graphic design major, submitted his design to the "Wrigley Field Turns 100" logo contest before the start of the 2014 baseball season, and it was chosen as the official Wrigley Field 100th logo out of more than 1,200 submissions.
Since graduation, Ort has done a large amount of freelance graphic design and illustration. He started his career at Coho Creative in Cincinnati as a graphic designer and now works at Crown Equipment Corporation as a visual graphic designer in New Bremen, Ohio.
Ort's winning logo will be used as a patch on the Cub's home-game uniforms next season and will be featured on a variety of collectible items, souvenirs and commemorative baseballs at Wrigley Field. Other Wrigley Field 100th anniversary merchandise and novelty items, including T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, glassware and key chains will feature the logo in Wrigley Field gift shops and The Cub Store in Chicago.
Ort was eager to enter this competition, knowing that it was a great opportunity for his design business to potentially gain great visibility. "It was just a really exciting time altogether," he said. "I am completely humbled to have won."
The team invited Ort and his family and friends to the game against the Atlanta Braves on Oct. 21, where he was honored during the on-field logo unveiling ceremony and presented with his own personalized 2014 jersey featuring the patch with his winning logo.

Rawalpindi Campus
The Rawalpindi Campus of the NCA is envisaged as a second campus to enable larger enrollment for students in the arts and to provide greater geographical access to students from the northern reaches of Pakistan. The old hostel building in Liaqat Bagh was handed over to the NCA primarily for its refurbishment and adaptive reuse as an appropriate location for the Rawalpindi Campus. As this building was insufficient for purposes of the Campus, the entire Liaquat Bagh Complex including the Auditorium has been made available to the NCA to enable further physical development. The Rawalpindi/Islamabad area has an active body of professionals, many of whom are NCA graduates, as well as other groups who have been examining and working towards the setting up of art schools. Their resources will be utilized in addition to the inputs that the current NCA faculty will provide. The Federal Minister for Education has ensured the autonomy necessary for the success of this venture.
The project offers an exciting and dynamic future and a turning point in the history of the NCA. Bearing in view the ethos and model of NCA, the academic plan has been developed to ensure continuity in the integrated teaching of the visual arts through the joint foundation course and shared lectures during the course of studies leading to the Bachelors degree. Additionally, to ensure cultural diversity, gender parity and economic group representation in the student body, an important aspect of the NCA, the Rawalpindi Campus has admitted students countrywide, following the same procedures of testing and eligibility as already established. The Rawalpindi Campus will maintain the same academic standards as Lahore and will also offer the same academic programmes, initially it had started with two departments last year: Architecture and Fine Arts, the initial intake was 20 students in each department. In 2007, it is envisaged that the Departments of Film and Television, Textile Design and Communication Design will be launched. The Departments of Product Design and Multimedia Arts will be instituted in 2008 followed by the Department of Cultural Studies in 2009. It is also envisaged that a Department of Performing Arts, incorporating Theatre, Puppetry, Music and Dance will be developed as a special feature of the Rawalpindi Campus. The Rawalpindi Campus will offer residential facilities for male and female students, a visiting faculty hostel, equipment for studios and laboratories, academic buildings and a library. The Rawalpindi Campus faculty will be inducted in keeping with the NCA model comprising a core permanent faculty, and visiting, contract and guest faculty, both national and international.
Entering its third year and with new management in place the development speed has a very noticeable picked up. A large ceramic kiln which was fired on November 17th, 2007, marked initiation of ceramic design section at NCA RWP campus. First ever in country will be the glass art section being developed for launch in ner future. It is planned to update all its curriculum so that it is at par with the international standards elsewhere. The said campus will ultimately be reserved for performing arts & multimedia when CDA; finally, agrees ro allocate land for its final destination and setup somewhere in the beautiful and congenial environment in federal capital Islamabad--Nsirmalik (talk) 20:30, 21 November 2007 (UTC).
Mr Nsir Malik, has been assigned the responsibilities of NCA Rawalpindi campus as Director. Technology in service of conventional art is the main expertise and mandate of Mr Malik. Contemporary Ceramics, Glass Art, Claymation, Classical Animation, Interactive CD and PAINTOGRAPHY® are in pipeline for execution in the very near future; which will provide a definite lead to NCA Rawalpindi campus.

Advisor Name Title Andrew Curtis Committee Chair Kent Mathewson Committee Member Michael Leitner Committee Member Keywords

Date of Defense 2005-11-08 Availability unrestricted AbstractMost investigations that examine diffusion of disease through urban areas give relatively scant attention to the 'micro-environment.' Employing the many methods of macro-environmental analysis, most studies do not attempt to identify street-level or even residence-level temporal-spatial patterns of disease diffusion. As a result, the mechanisms that lead to diffusion on such small scales are left relatively undefined. There is no doubt that cumulatively these small-scale mechanisms contribute to the diffusion of disease over the urban environment. However, the level of contribution and the specific details of their dynamics remain unclear.
This thesis investigated some of these unexplored areas by presenting a temporal-spatial analysis of the Memphis Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1878. The area (downtown Memphis), the time (August-December 1878), and the epidemic (yellow fever) are centered around a collection of books, maps, and reference materials that range from contemporary accounts of the epidemic to modern virology texts. This information was used to construct a modern database and GIS that could be analyzed and manipulated by various statistical means. Hot spots and multi-death residences in particular were examined for interrelated patterns. Temporal-spatial cartographic representations of these areas proved to be the easiest means by which to extract disease patterns. Results indicated that social and cultural interactions probably play a greater role in yellow fever dissemination than previously thought. However, additional studies of complete data sets are required for a more comprehensive understanding of the exact dynamics and mechanisms that underlie urban yellow fever diffusion.

How Much is the average 32?
Ok well I'm new here and I'm 14. My dream car would be a 32 ford. First off, somebody please clarify the different ford models of the time period. What is a 32 ford coupe. And then they have model a's and it's pretty confusing. All I know is that I absolutely love the chopped 32s without fenders and big slicks. I also like 3 windows over 5. My question is is anything close to what I'm saying possible for a first car? I'm thinking a fiberglass 3 window, with a big block. I would wanna take it to the strip. I would drive it to shcool everyday though. Don't know if they're even possibly everyday cars. Looks like they can't have wipers or the right lights lol. I could probably get 7000 out of my parents and have 4k in toys to sell. All work would be free since I could do a lot of it and have a master mechanic uncle. Not looking for things like 10k dollar paint jobs or chrome everywhere. I know I sound insane just think it would be awesome to drive that bad boy to shcool. Also would be fun to smoke some ricers on the way home. Everyone has to have civics with exhausts and I just can't stand it.
Actually I'd rather a steel or original body but both are a bit pricey.
The most memorable of Henry's cars is probably the Model T, made from about 1908 to 1927. Some 15 million of them were made. The most popular with the hot rod crowd is probably the '26/'27 roadster......
Randy Asplund Historical Art 1926 Ford Model T
Here is a collage of other Model T's.....
The Model A followed the Model T and was only in production for 4 years (1928 to 1931). There were sedans (to carry 4 or more people), coupes (to carry only 2 people) and roadsters (to carry only 2 people). Also, there were pickups and roadster pickups. Think of a roadster as a convertible.
The Model B was a one-year-only model, 1932. It was the first year for Ford to offer a V8. Previous years had all used an inline 4 cylinder motor.
They came in sedans, coupes, pickups, roadster pickups and probably a couple of models that I'm forgetting 'cause I'm just skimming over the top for you.....
You're thinking along the right track in my opinion, foregoing chrome, fancy paint and other stuff that has nothing to do with the way the car operates. Quite often, the best way to shoehorn yourself into an early rod is to find a project that has gone south for the builder because of a lack of funds to really get started with it. I would not recommend that you begin your project with a brand new glass body from a high-buck manufacturer. Check craigslist in your locale and around your state. If you like the '32, then click on cars for sale and type in 1932, then search. Or click on parts for sale and do the same.
The way I kept track of the different years was by the radiator shell.....
Here's a Model T shell....

Don't be confused by it all. Some guys will confuse you by mounting a B radiator shell on a T or an A model. You'll learn to tell the difference. The most beautiful shell in my opinion is the '28 A Model shell. I used one of them on the T roadster I built. Originally, they were chromed from the factory, but are just as nice looking when painted body color.....
I have a copy of Chester Greenbaugh's book, which outlines the building a T-Bucket for under $4,000. I don't know if that interests you or not, but I might be willing to send it to you free of charge if you would like to try building a bucket. The book is in storage, so it would take a few days to find it. Here are some pics of T-Buckets......Now, don't get all bug-eyed, I doubt that any of these rods were built for under $4K.......
This yellow car is a T Tub roadster.....carry more folks.....

ok this is just to give you an idea on what one is worth. this is just the steel body it is a five window. hit this link .
Ford : Other NA in Ford | eBay Motors
build an OTF
Other Than Ford , Ford bodies are expensive especially 32's, I have a Glass 32 project up in the top of the shop, a some day project. you don't list where you are located, My son bought some late 20;s metal quarter panels for $ 50 and found a cowl out in the desert south of Bonneville Free, I found an 31 Nash out in the desert FREE. It's a lot of work to put a body together, but if you read cBoys Free Ebook at the top of the page, the scratch built hot rod. I'll try to post some picts
31 nash
I made some new panels and the louvered deck lid, I still need to follow Cboys instructions and build the doors.

I applaud your interest in starting with a '32 Ford, regardless of fiberglass or steel. But I'm not sure if you could even get a glass '32 fiberglass coupe body for the $11,000 you'd get from selling "toys" and parents gift. '32 Fords are the most desirable hotrod base around, and extremely over inflated pricing.
It is possible you might find a glass project that someone has given up on for that price, if you're patient, and save up the cash to be ready when one does come along. But it might be a long wait!
If a 30's hotrod is what you seek... I'de do something/anything other than a 32 Ford. Just too dang much $$.
Like mentioned elsewhere... an "off brand" body can be found for much less. Heck, even a Model A can be reasonable.
I have a buddy with a 30 Dodge Brothers "rat rod style" sedan that is sweet. He has maybe $10k into it and drives it everywhere.
Can you guys give me a specific list of things that are big price wise like you know trans and stuff. I wanna add up the price then add like 2k because that's just how it works.
Good to see a young guy interested in something other than a ricer.
A little advice from past history. I bought my first car 38 years ago at the age of 14 with yard mowing / birthday money that I had saved over about a 3 - 4 year period. It was a running, driving 48 Plymouth Business Coupe. No it was not exactly what I wanted which was an early 30's Mopar, but it got me started.
It was a car that I could learn on that would get me around. It allowed me to do a lot of the little things that an old car needs without having to worry about designing / welding brackets, frames etc. Drove it for about 3 years with the stock flathead, then built a very strong 383 / 727 and shoehorned it in after I had some basic experience. Eventually got an offer on the car that I couldn't refuse, minus motor/transmission which I kept and put in a 73 Cuda. Traded the Cuda for a 34 Plymouth Coupe with a 318 the car I had always wanted (your 32 Ford) and dreamed of.
Guess what? I am now back in another 48 Plymouth Coupe with a hot rodded flathead six and love it. I don't see 20 more cars like mine at every show or cruise. It rides and drives great. There is actually room in the car to stretch out a bit unlike an early 30's.
I guess the moral to this story is start small and learn as you go. 32's are great, don't get me wrong, but they can also eat through a build budget in about the time it would take your big block 32 to get through the traps on the drag strip. A new glass coupe body will run you $6,000 plus, add in the expense of a frame, suspension, engine, transmission and your $11,000 budget is gone long before you ever get it to a driving stage. Use a decent original body and your budget will suffer even more.
Expand your horizons a bit and look at something other than a 32. You may be surprised at what you can find for a decent price. Get you something that can get you into the hobby and offer a learning experience. Then as your budget allows and you still have that dream of a 32 coupe, step up to fulfill your dream. You may find yourself right back where you started one day like I have.
Good luck what ever you decide.
27 rpu budget
My grandson's 27 T roadster pickup budget, basic pieces, Model A ford frame $ 100, box and new crosmembers $ 300. lincoln front beam suspension from old hay wagon, $ 25, rebuild $200. beater chevy V8 pickup for engine , trans, rear end $ 800, Model A ford pickup bed from old trailer $ 75 (needs a new tailgate ). 27 T roadster Cowl FREE, find or build the rest of the bucket $ ??? almost a roller and running
for about $1500, Then it's time for paint, upholstery, new windshield.
You might also end up with a good steering column and steering box that can be used, not to mention the parts you could sell off the car, and scrap value of the donor once you're done with it.
I did one project with a donor that when I finished selling parts and scrapping the car, I had zero dollars into the drivetrain from it.
Like I was saying before, I don't really care about anything besides it being fast and semi-reliable. If it has to look like a ratrod for a bit then I'd be fine with that. My uncle has some magical resources where I can obtain many of the big things for free or cheap. He just built a 93 ramcharger that looks pretty good using almost new tires which he got for a great price, used rear, and more used things for 700 all in. That's what I'm looking for. A maybe 80s mustang or camaro donor would work maybe?

Toll House Nation?Joseph Weber
Gables are big this year. In the exurban frontiers of eastern Pennsylvania and western New Jersey, gables perch atop dozens of new look-alike $400,000 houses on look-alike plots. They are unique--in a suitably standard way. They are American. They are the stuff of Toll Brothers Inc.
The brothers--that's Robert, 54, and Bruce, 52--have made a fair bit of money over 28 years selling "semi-custom" homes for the well-to-do. The formula is right: They combine cheap land with borrowed, proven designs and all the bells and whistles they can muster. And the market is right: Expensive houses continue to move well, even as the broader market cools off. Since 1991, the Huntingdon Valley (Pa.) company has nearly tripled its sales, to $504.1 million last year, boosting its net income sevenfold, to $36.2 million.
Toll Brothers is, in fact, the biggest builder of luxury homes in the U.S. Now, the brothers have begun expanding well beyond their East Coast stronghold by building a modest number of homes in North Carolina, Southern California, and Florida. Texas is next.
Why mess with success by poking around unfamiliar ground? It could be that Toll Brothers is running short of room to grow. Given that new-home sales nationwide fell 2.7% in April, the Tolls are posting respectable results. But after 1993's 44% gain in backlogged orders, their backlog rose just 15% in fiscal 1994. This year, analysts at Montgomery Securities expect it to grow less than 6%--and Chief Executive Robert Toll says traffic and sales are down some 5% in many of his developments.
On its side, Toll has baby boomers--in large quantity. Crows Robert Toll: "The demographics are great for our business." The typical Toll customer, between 35 and 54 years old, comes to the table with a household income of at least $90,000. Like Reginald D. Boone, a 50-year-old self-employed benefits consultant who paid $513,000 in April for a four-bedroom Toll house outside Rockville, Md., such customers haven't backed off big housing buys. "So far, the economy for those people is still fairly strong," says Matthew V. Roswell, a housing analyst at Legg Mason Inc.
CATHEDRAL CEILINGS. The growth of Toll Brothers has a lot to do with sharp, conservative management, too. It scouts out cheap land parcels being unloaded by distressed developers, banks, or other motivated sellers. With low initial outlays, the company can make money on developments of 10 houses or 100. Toll architects borrow ideas from other upscale developments, then incorporate what sells best into a few standard designs. Customers can choose from the basic Federal, the Provincial, or the Chateau, among others, then customize with brick, stucco, or stone facing and a host of add-ons. An additional fireplace goes for $3,400; a master bath complete with a cathedral ceiling and whirlpool costs about $8,500.
Wall Street thinks the Tolls can make their formula work west of the Allegheny River and south of the Chesapeake Bay. With interest rates down again, in fact, Toll shares are up 65% since early December. But finding sites in California isn't as easy as the old days, when the brothers could scoop up parcels just by motoring around New Jersey. Monitoring work a continent away may not be as simple as keeping an eye on the project across town. And gables may not fly in L.A.

Read the Internal Document that Contradicts BP's Claims on Oil Flow
Rep. Ed Markey has been among BP's toughest critics in Congress following the Deepwater Horizon blowout, accusing it, among other things, of lowballing its estimates of oil flow.
On Sunday, Markey was at it again. As you may have read, the Boston Democrat released an internal BP document that shows that early company estimates for worst-case oil flow scenarios were far higher than the company has ever acknowledged -- up to 100,000 barrels per day if all containment mechanisms were to fail. Take a look at the document for yourself.
The document is not dated, but a statement from Rep. Markey that accompanied its release said that BP's oil flow estimate at the time the document was made available to Congress was 5,000 barrels per day, and its worst-case scenario was 60,000 barrels per day, figures the company provided for much of the month of May.
The 100,000-barrels-per-day scenario contrasts sharply with the company's public pronouncements at the time.
"I think those estimates of 70,000, with due respect to the experts, don't match the many, many experts and scientists that are involved in this in a unified way," Bob Dudley, BP's managing director and the newly anointed chief of the company's spill response, said on MSNBC on May 14. "It's not just a BP estimate ... 70,000 feels like a little exaggeration, a little scare-mongering."
2 comments
Can someone tell me why Senator Markey is reaching back in time to dredge up an early BP estimate of barrels/day? Does he know that on two separate occasions an independent GOVERNMENT group of scientists were also wrong with their estimates? Yea, but that wouldn't serve his purpose - would it?
Quote from NY Times, June 10th: "The new estimate is 25,000 to 30,000 barrels of oil a day. That range, still preliminary, is far above the previous estimate of 12,000 to 19,000 barrels a day."
Rich Lyons of Treasure Coast FLA just put together this song about the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, a great song, check it out
Commenting on this story is closed.
The BP oil disaster in the Gulf has had untold health, economic and environmental effects.

There were too many sheep on this particular island, so some of them got on a boat and left for Spain. In Spain, however, they were not welcomed. Everyone in Spain, waiting by the shore for the boat to come in, had expected something more unusual than sheep. When the gangway was lowered and the sheep descended, the Spaniards said many things to them, the overall gist of which was, "Go back to your island, sheep, and send some Gila monsters or Komodo dragons."
It is well known that the Spanish have always longed for Gila monsters and Komodo dragons and perhaps some of those child-sized ancestors of Homo erectus everyone's talking about.
So the sheep set sail again, this time looking for Franz Josef Land, which they'd heard had a balmy climate and universal health insurance. But when they arrived, six months later, they found neither. Franz Josef Land was desolate, treeless and obsessed only with wireless internet access.
So the sheep set sail again, this time landing in Montana, which no one but these seafaring sheep realised had a deep-sea port. They walked around Montana for a while, but found the people to be unfriendly and with very poor taste in music. Everywhere they went, they heard Thin Lizzy and Bachman Turner Overdrive, and though the sheep enjoyed much of the music by these bands, they actually preferred early King Crimson and later XTC.
So they set sail again, this time looking for you know what ? Hold on a second. Wait one damned second here. The author of this irrelevant narrative just woke up, momentarily, from a self-induced coma, and now something is worming into his consciousness. It couldn't be. Did that really happen? Did we really elect Bush again? Holy fucking shit. Screw the sheep and pity us Americans. Have we ever wanted pity before? We have not, but now we do. Shower us with pity as we cloak ourselves in shame.

I would also point out the video of on post information - although the regulations were what I was referring to.
I have alot of confidence in the military, I will be commissioned this summer as a matter of fact after serving half a decade enlisted. But if soldiers are on post and are basically unarmed due to regulations then it poses a scary sitation folks, that's all I am saying.
keep on topic , please.
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." Thomas Jefferson
Nemo Me Impune Lacesset
To keep it on topic, and address the ludicrous statement that nobody in their right mind would attack and army base becuase it isn't a viable target:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18549005/MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. - Six foreign-born Muslims were arrested and accused Tuesday of plotting to attack the Army's Fort Dix and massacre scores of U.S. soldiers — a plot the FBI says was foiled when the men took a video of themselves firing assault weapons to a store to have the footage put onto a DVD.
in this case they used an outside source to case the dormitoriesThe defendants, all men in their 20s from the former Yugoslavia and the Middle East, include a pizza deliveryman suspected of using his job to scout out the military base.but then again i am just paranoid"We had a group that was forming a platoon to take on an army. They identified their target, they did their reconnaissance. They had maps. And they were in the process of buying weapons. Luckily, we were able to stop that."Their goal was "to kill as many American soldiers as possible" in attacks with mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and guns, prosecutors said.In addition to plotting the attack on Fort Dix, the defendants spoke of attacking a Navy installation in Philadelphia during the annual Army-Navy football game, and conducted surveillance at other military installations in the region, prosecutors said.
I hope it isn't pointed out that this is a year old
Hummm....don't seem to remember saying that it wasn't possible...just a realist that al queda (sp) would go after bigger scares. And a little more research since you like links will find that authorities considered their plan hair brain (ah, in plain english...looney tunes).
I'm sure they would have thought the same about 9/11.
Crashing planes into buildings? That's ridiculous.
Doesn't matter if it's crazy, blowing yourself up is crazy, it hasn't stopped them yet.
Bang for the buck...won't cripple an Army post by a few guns...but a whole state by power plants etc etc...
The last I checked terror wasn't about crippling power plants, it was about terror. Imagine living in a country when the most secure of secure, a military installation was attacked. Imagine how people would feel everyday if an army base was attacked imagine what could happen at my school, shopping center, etc. Terror. Fear.
Check out the Northern Ireland and Israel and tell me how many power plants and financial centers they attack. Their targets are military and civilian personnel. Morale, fear, terror.
Now I have shown you facts.
I have responded to all of your call outs and skepticism with documented events.
- Where US military troops have spied for al queda and or attacked their own brothers.
- Where extremists were caught attempting to kill soldiers on a military base.
- Where there is no opsec and you can google how soft military installations are.
It is time to wake up and accept the facts.
While I don't think the plot schemers of the terror networks would waste the time, but it is obvious that smaller groups under their own leadership, like the ones mentioned here, are making plans and attempts to do it.
FWIW, there are tons of targets that make more "sense", but OTOH, the terror networks utilize expendable assets, so maybe an attack on a smaller Military installation isn't the main goal, but a diversion tactic??And a lot of good it did us......Actually no...a number of agencies (and FBI individuals) suspected and had this scenario...
No one is saying that they are going to continue this rational of target selection, only that it's not as crazy as it sounds, well actually it is crazy... but to those that don't know the fallacies of a Military target, a successful attack on an installation could incite panic in the region of the attack and draw attention away from a more logical target.
The terror networks goal with 9/11 was to destabilize our economy, and bring the US to it's knees, they failed, is it wrong to think that after this failure, that they may be thinking of other methods to shake the people?
Yes, back on topic, it would be a morale hit against the military and the country as a whole. Imagine a couple of hundred casuatlies on a military base. Not against untrained civilians, but against soldiers. That would be a real nasty for them to score.
1) Demoralize your enemy. Attack his rear areas and zones where he is supposed to be safe so his guard is down. Soft targets if you will. Make the enemy feel unsafe where he is supposed to be safe. Terrorism 101.
2) Demoralize your enemies support base. You get to point out that you hit your enemy on his own soil at his own base thus attempting to demoralize the people who support the policy makers. Trying to affect policy basically.
3) Your own propaganda. You get to spout off how you hit your enemy, killed and wounded them all for the glory of your cause. Look at how powerful you are being able to do this. So in other words braggin' rights at the local watering hole/terrorist recruiting seminar.Why not hit civilian and or infrastructure targets? They likely don't have the organization to do enough damage. Look at how quickly we come back from catastrophic events. I'm not saying back to the way it was before, but to restore basic needs of the people, we do it pretty well. An infrastructure target may be an inconvenience or a bit more, but it is also something that could be "covered up" like the Japanese balloon bombs that hit the western US during WWII. Nope for terrorism to work it has to be visible and easily identifiable as terrorism.Originally Posted by exactlymypoint
As for bases being a bastions of armed folks, we know this isn't the case. There are exceptions, but they are just that, exceptions. If the BGs do their homework they will avoid the exceptions.Some aren't real bright. Some are. The ones dying in the field probably aren't so bright. The planners a bit more I would think. I would actually be surprised if most of the planners are even true believers, versus whack jobs that like figuring out ways to kill people.Originally Posted by exactlymypoint
Procrastinators are the leaders of tomorrow.
exactly an army post is a high profile target. the east coast power grid may get headlines for a week after the power is back on so they can print the papers. like a few years ago when a tree branch fell not far from where i live and knocked out the lights. (said tree branch was subsequintly burned for a little more warmth the following night.) thing is kill the lights it could be anything. knock down an army base its obvious ali-baba was there.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I've been with PNC for 15 years on a home equity line of credit. After 5 years they called me and I ok'd a refinance into the same type of loan and to increase the credit limit. Little did I know, they put me in a loan that after 10 years the payment would go from $300 to $3000 per month so it would pay in full after the next 5 years. My 1st loan did not have this feature and the rep didn't tell me about this at all, only that it was the SAME as before.
I called to inquire about it and basically was told, too bad. I ask about a refi and they transfer'd me to a rep who took my info and ask for income docs, which I sent the next day. One week later, nothing. I called and she said I would receive a letter and told me nothing else. I ask for a supervisor and he at least listened and then told me that they only use a tiny portion of investment income as well as IRA's. I retired early and that was my only source of income. He said he would try to see if they can do anything but he never called back as promised and I could not reach him after that. I sent emails and tried to reach someone that could help but all were dead ends. So, I called someone else and was approved to buy another home that was worth twice what I owed PNC and even with keeping PNC, I was approved for this other home which I bought. I sold the house with the PNC loan on it and will never do business with them again.
