UPDATE: USA Advances To Knockout Round In World Cup Despite Loss To Germany
UPDATE 6/26 2:09pm
RECIFE, Brazil (AP) — Thomas Mueller scored his fourth goal of the World Cup on Friday as Germany defeated the United States 1-0 to win Group G ahead of the Americans, who also advanced to the knockout stage of the World Cup despite losing.
With two wins and a draw, Germany topped the group with seven points, while the U.S. progressed with four. Portugal beat Ghana 2-1 but both were eliminated.
Mueller scored in the 55th minute with a side-footed shot from the edge of the area as tropical downpours drenched the Arena Pernambuco.
Both teams knew before kickoff that a draw would see them through, but neither held back. The game pitted Germany coach Joachim Loew against his good friend and predecessor Juergen Klinsmann, now in charge of the U.S. team.
The United States just need one point today to make it out of the Group of Death and into the Round of 16 in the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
They'll have to do it against Germany, one of the most potent sides in the world. The Germans boast a rock-solid defense, magnificent technical skill, and a lethal counterattack.
The Americans will advance with a win or draw. The U.S. could lose and still go through if Portugal and Ghana play to a draw or if goal differential tiebreakers finish in their favor.
This match carries special meaning for U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann, a German soccer legend who coached the German national team in the 2006 World Cup, and for the five German-American players on the U.S. roster.
Kickoff from Arena Pernambuco in Recife, Brazil, is scheduled for noon.
Congrats @TimLincecum! You're probably excused from work Thurs, but if you need a note: pic.twitter.com/i2oCZmGAGZ (Also nice #BusinessAttire!)

May 5, 2014
PITTSBURGH—With the 2014 NFL Draft just three days away, every major draft analyst has Pitt defensive tackle Aaron Donald pegged as a first-round pick.
Most mock drafts have the Panthers' All-American going off the board within the first 20 selections.
This past week, ESPN's Mel Kiper and Todd McShay held their three-round mock draft and had Donald going 12th overall to the New York Giants. Other projections have him going with the 10th pick to the Detroit Lions or 14th to the Chicago Bears.
There is even some online chatter about the Oakland Raiders looking at Donald with the fifth overall pick. Pretty heady stuff for a guy who was given a middle-to-late round grade a year ago when he initially tested the draft waters.
What a difference a dominating senior season makes.
Donald was the most decorated defensive player of the 2013 college football season. He earned unanimous All-America status while winning such prestigious hardware as the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Chuck Bednarik Award, Outland Trophy and Rotary Lombardi Award.
(VIDEO: Donald at the ESPN College Football Awards Show)
The recognition continued into the draft evaluation season when Donald was named the Most Outstanding Overall Player at Senior Bowl practices.
NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said Donald checked off every box en route to becoming a strong first-round prospect.
"Great college career, tremendous Senior Bowl week where he dominated, ran like crazy at the combine. He did everything," Mayock said.
(VIDEO: Watch Donald's senior highlights)
Louis Riddick, a standout Pitt defensive back from 1987-90 who played six NFL seasons, is now an ESPN studio analyst. School affiliation aside, Riddick has repeatedly gushed about Donald since watching him in person at the Senior Bowl workouts and says he deserves consideration as the best defensive prospect in the 2014 draft – above South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney.
Riddick said the majority of offensive linemen at the Senior Bowl "got embarrassed by Aaron's combination of speed, functional power/explosiveness and superior technique/hand use."
"I think he has the potential to achieve greatness in the NFL," Riddick added.
(VIDEO: Watch Donald's Pro Day video)
Pitt has a history of successful first rounders. Since 1961, there have been 24 Panthers drafted in the first round. Of that number, 14 went on to make at least one Pro Bowl. Four of them have earned the ultimate honor — enshrinement in the Professional Football Hall of Fame.
Two of Pitt's most recent first-rounders — receiver Larry Fitzgerald and cornerback Darrelle Revis — have been to a combined 13 Pro Bowls. Both Fitzgerald and Revis are well on their way to a "Canton Call" upon retirement.
The first round of the 2014 NFL Draft will be held on Thursday, May 8, and begin at 8 p.m.

ATLANTA — Can a Democrat win a U.S. Senate seat from Georgia in 2010? We're about to find out.
Georgia Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond on Wednesday became the first prominent Democrat to announce he would run against Republican incumbent Sen. Johnny Isakson.
With his wife, Zola, at his side in the Capitol, Thurmond told the crowd of supporters and media that going to the Senate was the best way for him to help Georgians.
"It's time to send someone to Washington who will put you and your family first," Thurmond said. "At this critical juncture in the history of our nation, we need servant leaders in Washington who will forsake political expediency and partisan gridlock."
But Thurmond faces a tough battle in unseating a well-established Republican incumbent, said Ross Alexander, a political scientist at North Georgia College & State University in Dahlonega.
"I would not want to be a Democrat running for statewide office in Georgia," Alexander said Wednesday. "Georgia is a one-party state, traditionally. But it was the other party for 120 years, and now it's the Republicans. ... It's a tough road ... for any Democrat challenging an experienced, incumbent Republican."
But the head of Hall County's local Democratic party, Jim Taflinger, said he thinks Thurmond will be a "very strong" opponent for Isakson.
"I think he's very well-versed in the issues. I think he represents the party well," Taflinger said. "He adds diversity to our ticket, and I'm excited to work for him."
Thurmond, finishing his third term as labor commissioner, would be the first black senator from Georgia were he able to unseat Iskason. The Senate currently has only one black member, Illinois' Roland Burris, and he is not seeking re-election in November.
Thurmond, an Athens native, will face R.J. Hadley of Rockdale County in the Democratic primary July 20. The winner will face an uphill fight against Isakson, who was elected in 2004 and has more than $4 million in his campaign coffers.
Isakson, who recently spent time in the hospital for a bacterial infection and an irregular heartbeat, issued a statement Wednesday saying he is energized and ready to campaign aggressively for a second term.
"Georgians will get to choose whether they want someone who represents their conservative values or someone who will push the Obama-Reid-Pelosi agenda of government health care, cap-and-trade taxes, skyrocketing debt, auto bailouts, government takeover of student loans, jobless stimulus packages, terrorist trials in U.S. courts and forced unionization of private sector employees by repealing their secret ballot," Isakson said.
Alexander said getting voters to turn out in heavy numbers in a nonpresidential election will be Thurmond's challenge.
"Midterm elections are lower turnout elections," Alexander said. "Peripheral voters come out in presidential election years, not in midterm election years.
"Those (midterms) are mostly for people who vote in all elections. Those people usually are not young and not people of color. They tend to be affluent, educated, older, upper-class voters who vote most regularly and tend to vote Republican."
Thurmond, an attorney, is one of just three Democrats who currently hold statewide elected office in Georgia. The other two are stepping aside this year: Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin is retiring, and Attorney General Thurbert Baker is running for governor.
A Democrat hasn't won an open statewide seat since Gov. Roy Barnes arrived in the governor's mansion in 1998.
But Thurmond pointed out that he has been elected statewide more than once.
"My Georgia never turned red," he quipped. "The people of Georgia don't care as much about party."
During his announcement, Thurmond became emotional as he talked about being the ninth child of illiterate sharecroppers and who then "rose above that through hard work and faith ... to seek the highest office in the state of Georgia."
Thurmond said he was courted by state and national Democrats to run against Isakson.
Two years ago, Democrat Jim Martin forced Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss into a runoff.
And with voters nationwide losing their taste for incumbent candidates, Taflinger said he thinks Thurmond's entrance into the race is exciting.
"There is an anti-incumbency feeling in the country, and that's not limited just to Democrats," Taflinger said.
Alexander said that though Isakson may not be the darling of hard-line conservatives, he will be tough to beat.
"He's viewed as a moderate, but it's still a safe seat, still a safe bet for Republicans," he said.
Thurmond has been at the helm in the labor department as the state's jobless rate has reached a record-high 10.6 percent. He said the economy was the main catalyst that pushed him into the race.
"This recession has changed me and my philosophy of public service," Thurmond said. "I realized I needed to focus not on the next election, but on the next generation."
Times staff members Ashley Fielding and Keith Albertson and reports from The Associated Press contributed to this story.

adding height to a wood door
I was given two matching 10 light french doors. For some reason, they were cut off and are only 76 in tall. I want to add 4 inches to the bottom to get them back to standard height, since they'll be installed in a room with a 9 ft ceiling. Since I plan to paint them, I want to add the wood on the bottom with glue and countersunk screws, then sand, prime and paint. Do you think this is the way to go?
That should work. The only potential issue you'll have is that the bottom of the door is comprised of the endgrain of two vertical stiles, and the edgegrain of the horizontal rail, mortised into the stiles. You propose to glue and screw a strip of wood along it's edgegrain to those three boards (which is how I would do it too.)
With seasonal changes the stiles will expand and contract somewhat (probably 1/16 to 1/8" total width) and that will cause the glued on piece to be shorter or longer during the summer or winter. (Probably since it's the dry season now, the door is at it's narrowest, and will swell slightly in the summer.)
Other than a slight visual issue of the shorter add-on piece, it's conceivable that your glued on piece could split the door apart, as it shrank. Probably less of a problem when doing the repair in the winter, but still a consideration. You could minimize this possibility by using yellow glue (aliphatic resin - regular carpenter's glue) instead of something like epoxy or gorrilla glue, as yellow glue is more flexible than epoxy or polyurethane glues. You could also slightly enlongate the pilot holes drilled through each end of the add-on piece, where the screws will go into the stiles. Just drill straight through, and then with the drill all the way through the wood, tilt the spinning drill bit about 15 degrees right and left (along the length of the workpiece. That will give the screw a little room to move seasonally if it needs to.
Maybe this is all overkill. The repair would more than likely be fine without these measures. But if you're concerned about the possibility of cracking, that's the way to address it.
Thanks Nate. I live in Denver with very low humidity, so that should help, too. I appreciate your additional tips.
Nate as always has some great advice. You might consider toe kicks on both sides of the door. Also if you have other old doors available cut your 4" from them. good luck
Thanks Bob. Toe kicks are a great idea. I didn't tell the whole story. These will be converging pocket doors to a basement office so toe kicks may not fit, but they sure would look nice! I'll consider them.
When RKH is selecting the add-on piece, try, if possible to find a quartersawn board. You want the growth rings to be running perpendicular to the face of the board. If they are parallel to the face, the board will cup away from the center of the tree. If they are diagonal through the board it will also be a bit more likely to warp. Best bet is if those rings are running the short thickness of the board when you look at the end of the board. That's the most stable piece of wood.
Great finishing tips. I remeasured and I'll only have to add 2 inches on, so that will alleviate a few problems. I've also selected the fir pieces I'll use and I'll be careful to orient the grain appropriately. Thanks again to all!
I replaced 6 inches to the bottom on a 15 pane single door that was a rear exterior door, I used Bondo to fill the seam at the advise of a neighbor. The door was split at the bottom from water damage. I replaced the exterior door with a new one and moved my repaired door to replace the garage entry door ( to show off my cars, lol) It's painted and been almost 3 years since repaired, you would have to get on your hands and knee's to find the seam.
Has anyone else heard of using automotive bondo as wood filler ?

Intel has formally introduced its 4-series chipsets at Computex, after months of talk about what will be Intel's last chipset to use the traditional Front-Side Bus Architecture. The series consists of the P45, G45, P43 and G43 Express chipsets and Intel says that, together, they will help to turn the PC into "a centre of high-end entertainment and communications."
G45, which features the GMA X4500HD graphics processor, is the first Intel IGP to feature hardware-accelerated decoding capabilities for Blu-ray and HD video playback in h.264, VC-1 and MPEG-2 formats, which should make it great for using in a Home Theatre PC. And because of this new feature, Intel is now able to use the graphics engine to perform post processing on the content to improve the visuals.
Several of Intel's partners have been showing G45's video decoding capabilities off on the show floor and the demos were slick, with video quality being good-to-high. Obviously, demonstrations on a packed show floor in Taipei aren't the best way to evaluate video quality - that's something we'll have to do once G45 boards arrive in the TrustedReviews office.
3D graphics performance is said to be improved by a factor of two to three times G35, but since G35 was generally inadequate for gaming in our experience, we're not expecting a great deal to change on this front with G45 (three times nothing is still nothing).
G43 supports a similar feature set to G45, although it has been costed down for lower price points. It still features Intel Clear Video technology, but it doesn't feature the hardware-accelerated video decode functionality, meaning that it won't be quite as good as G45 when it comes to high-definition Blu-ray playback.
P45 replaces the excellent P35 chipset and builds on its successes, while correcting a few misdemeanours along the way. It now supports PCI-Express 2.0 and it's also possible to split the single x16 lane into two x8 slots for better dual graphics card support. Both P35 and 965P both supported dual graphics cards, but the PCI-Express x16 lane could not be split - instead, motherboard manufacturers had to use the four PCI-Express lanes in the south bridge for the second PCI-Express slot and that was limited to just PCI-Express x4.
Because of this, performance with two graphics cards installed was often lacklustre and it also meant that all other PCI-Express devices had to be disabled - there have only been four PCI-Express lanes available in Intel's recent southbridges. That limitation is now gone though, so motherboard manufacturers can get back to integrating all of the features they want, rather than having to make compromises along the way.
Details of P43 have been fairly scant and Intel documentation doesn't really talk about the chipset's features at all. However, having looked around the show and seen various board designs, it looks as if motherboard manufacturers are only implementing a single PCI-Express x16 slot, meaning there'll be no dual graphics card support. For most people, that'll be fine, but it does limit upgrade opportunities in the future.

Etsy Take Five TuesdayApril 20, 2010
How are you doing? It's time for Etsy Take Five Tuesdays and today I have some fabric, art prints, wallets, wooden letters and fashion illustrations to share with you for a little color and fun. One shop is even extending a special discount to her customers… Curious to see who it is? Let's get started and you'll find out!
Stylish Viv from Ish & Chi is not only a great blogger but also a talented decorator and artist based in Sydney, Australia. Her work is so pretty and girly — many of them originals!
Peggy Wolf is from Germany but who now lives in London. She studied fashion design and then discovered her talent lies not in designing clothes but in drawing them, along with beautiful women wearing her designs. I really like her aesthetic – her color choices are gorgeous!
Designer William Dohman from St. Paul, Minnesota has a passion for photography, prints and creating recycled wood signs.
Ever since watching Dear Sukie show Martha Stewart how her craft wallets are made I've been thinking about featuring Kristy Boucher's work on decor8. She makes everything from moo card holders to holders for passports along with wallets in many sizes. Get 10% off your order when you tell me her that you found her on decor8 — Just write in the "Notes to Seller" box at checkout and she'll refund 10% of your purchase to your Paypal account.
Fabric! Weeee! Can you ever get enough? Not me! Booster Seat is another great surface pattern designer on Etsy with fun fabrics made by Anda Corrie in Brooklyn.

Print & Pattern Book ReviewApril 20, 2010
I am so excited to review the new Print & Pattern book today because I love the author, Marie Perkins (aka Bowie Style), and her blog under the same name — Print & Pattern! And what a lucky girl to have her book named after her blog, right? Love it. Okay so let's get started in seeing and discussing Print & Pattern (the book). First let me tell you a little about Marie.
Marie is a surface pattern designer in London who started blogging in March '06 which seems like ages ago now (I guess web years are a bit like measuring time in dog years?) and I've followed her site from day one. I guess I always felt like she and I were partners in crime since we got started blogging during a time when it wasn't yet hip or cool, and certainly before blogging became the next big thing. Marie and I always supported one another, I had launched decor8 only a few months before she got started, so again — there was this bond between us that made showing up each day to write online a nice experience — I knew she was out there, along with a handful of other new blogs that I enjoyed. This is another reason why I am so proud of her as she has been writing religiously on her site for four years now and that is some dedication — especially since so many blogs come and go. That level of commitment and consistency is quite impressive. Now Print & Pattern is both a blog and a book — the blog is loaded with bazillions of illustrators and products to drool over but the book is equally handy because you can reference it snuggled up on your sofa or carry with you to the balcony during lunch. And of course, a book pulls everything so nicely together and gives the Print & Pattern blog a permanent home that Marie can take pride in for years and years to come… even long after she's wrapped up her blogging career and moved on to discover other paths.
In Marie's beautiful book you can find 120 designers on over 300 pages with over 750 full-color examples of their work. I like how each designer has their own spot and that each has a mini bio along with contact details so that you can find them on the web. Marie has been working on turning her blog into a book since 2008 — I remember because she had put out a call for entries back then on her site which resulted in hundreds of entries (naturally). I think Print & Pattern may require a second book after I read this one… as I know Marie is scouring the globe daily for designers that I'm sure in a year or two she'll have more than enough for a possible volume two. Fingers crossed!
In this book you can find the best of the best — works by surface pattern designers who have had their designs on products ranging from wallpaper to bed linens and greeting cards. You can expect to find the fabulous Orla Kiely, Caroline Gardner, Lotta Kuhlhorn, Petra Boase, Rock Scissor Paper, Sanna Annukka, Sukie, Nathalie Lete, Julia Rothman, Anne Wendlandt, MOZI, Marilyn Patrizio, Jessica Gonacha, Samantha Hahn, Fifi Mandirac, Heather Moore… and dozens more! It's a fantastic introduction to surface pattern design that is happy, bright and inspirational. And Marie if you're reading this, I'm so proud of you — inspired by you, happy for you, and extremely impressed by the beautiful book that you've pulled together.
Congratulations Marie on this delightful, super informative book! I hope I see it in stores everywhere — this would fit in so nicely at Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters because it would help to educate the average consumer who shops there… they could learn about where all the beauty around them comes from — people! Very talented ones — I often think most people don't even consider this when out shopping, those who aren't reading blogs and who haven't made the whole "online connection" yet. In fact, this book would be great in many shops for this very reason — an education — especially in stores selling some of the works from the designers featured therein!

I first heard about Barb Fritz during the Domino days but recently a dear reader reminded me to look at her portfolio again and so I did… Barb's portfolio is definitely beautiful to behold. I am inspired by her work but equally by her background as she has spent two decades producing photography and has worn many hats along the way — creative director, food editor, food stylist, and prop stylist in many different outlets from magazines to books, catalogs, advertising… even television! I am inspired by this because lots of times people pass (sometimes harsh) judgment on those who are creative, like we can't get our "act together" because our focus is not on one thing but on many. This always irks me.
I find it unfair and to hopefully present an alternate viewpoint I like to point them to accomplished people like Barb who has made this life of multiple-hat-wearing a successful one. Not all artists are starving. Not all creative minds are wandering without clue. And not all who are working from home strange, geeky, against the man, or unable to cope with a 9-5 job. There are so many misconceptions about the freelancer out there, those with a free spirit are so often cast as flighty and unable to make decisions and it's simply not true of us all. The truth is that some of us like to experiment and have the circumstances (or made them) to support these experiments. Some experiments bomb — it's true — but if passion, talent and consistency are in the recipe then most of the time experiments can turn into careers — or at the very least, temporary paths that lead to something greater. And then there are some who just don't grow up knowing what we want to do exactly. Scientist. School teacher. Doctor. Vet. At one time I wanted to be the type who did know because kids who knew back in school seemed to be the most loved by the teacher and certainly the focused kids got further in life more quickly than the "artist types". I always admired those who knew exactly what they wanted to do in life – like my uncle who became a surgeon. I find it most interesting though that once you finish school and enter the workforce, you start to understand how life really works and that there is really no universal right way, there is only the right way according to individual definition and that definition is, or at least should be, defined by Y-O-U.
Deb says in her bio that she has styled for Domino magazine but also for Gourmet magazine. She has done some catalog work for Crate and Barrel, ads for Eggo and Godiva (hope she got to eat some of it while on the set!), and cookbooks for Bobby Flay, TV shows for Martha and signs for Target. In addition to her work as a prop stylist wearing many hats working in many different areas, Barb enjoys her garden at home in Pennsylvania.
I have come to the conclusion when it comes to career that in the end, it's okay to experiment within your field and even to dip your toe outside of that field to see what other options exist for you. But I've come to learn from my own personal experience that once you find your calling, you usually don't have an interest in experimenting outside of that particular field. For instance, you may become a painter but you also may want to experiment with other mediums (it's all art, your creative expression). And you may want to write about your art or podcast about it or teach a class or write a book about it. So someone may judge you for wearing many hats but you are still staying within your field and that is why it works. But if you became a painter, and then decided to be a classical pianist, or a car mechanic, analyst, or sky dive instructor — well that's a bit more difficult to do and is why changing careers many times may not work if they aren't somehow, someway, linked to your life's passion.
Make sense? Thoughts?
And please visit Barb's portfolio while thinking over what I write here…

My pencil case tends to be full of pencils (some mechanical pencils have the plastic part that's soft and rubbery for proper grasping). After leaving my erasers in contact with the plastic part, it melts the rubbery part of my mechanical pencils. This doesn't just occur once, it always happens.
Is it some sort of chemical reaction? I Googled and still can't find a satisfactory explanation to this.

Another week has come to a close and comedian Katt Williams is embroiled in yet another police altercation. TMZ is reporting that Williams was arrested Wednesday by Oakland authorities because of his involvement in a club fight.
Sources say the alleged battery took place at hotel near the club and cops are now investigating whether or not Williams hit someone over the head with a bottle. The First Sunday star was arrested in East Oakland early Thursday morning but was released later in the evening pending further investigation.
This marks the comedian's second dust up with police in recent months. In October, Williams was detained by Los Angeles law enforcement after pulling a gun on actor Faizon Love. He was released from custody without charges.
Back in 2010, cops in Atlanta issued a warrant for Williams for an alleged battery at a Four Seasons Hotel.

Amateur women's boxing champion Katie Taylor will be the flag bearer for Ireland at the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics. Katie Taylor is a four-time world champion, and is competing in the women's lightweight division at London. She is such an overwhelming favorite in her division, that according to the official betting odds, she's the only legitimate odds-on favorite in any of the 13 Olympic boxing weight divisions, men's or women's included. In other words, she's going off at -375 odds, while the top dogs in every other boxing division are giving you favorable +200, +300 or higher odds. Taylor, a hugely famous and popular athlete in Ireland, is certainly deserving of the honor. She enters the inaugural women's boxing competition at the London Olympics not just as one of the best amateur boxers on the planet, but according to some, the best women's boxer on the planet, period. Not only is she a four-time world champion, a ridiculous figure, she's also a five-time Europ...

awhile, but now when it opens the old files it displays a single blank
cell. I've tried NotebookConvert as per the instruction in the online
help but it doesn't seem to do a thing. I've looked all through the
options but nothing related to Notebook conversion seems to change this
behavior. The manual seems to indicate that it will always ask to
convert the file but now it never does. Any ideas?

Navigation System Projects Phone Directions Onto The Windshield
The company has come out with a heads-up display designed to keep drivers looking ahead.
Leading satellite navigation and GPS solutions provider, Garmin has come out with a heads-up display unit that connects with your smartphone via Bluetooth and beams navigation data from your phone onto the windshield.
The heads-up display unit projects the navigation instructions onto a transparent film or a reflector lens attached to the windshield. The unit is designed to make sure navigation directions are kept in the drivers' line of sight so they won't have to look away from the road.
The heads-up display can be paired with any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone and it gets navigation information from Garmin apps StreetPilot for iPhone or NAVIGON for iPhone, Android, or Windows Phone 8. The unit can project turn indicators, speed, traffic information, and even the location of upcoming safety cameras.
According to Garmin the heads-up display unit will be able to adjust the brightness level to make sure that the data projections are always visible to the driver.

"The last thing an office worker wants to see is a dad in a tank top with three screaming children," said Malkin, whose grandfather, Lawrence A. Wien, bought the Empire State Building in 1961 with Harry Helmsley.
Despite the investment, a dowdy reputation can be hard to shed, and some prospective tenants are reluctant to visit the building for a tour. Even some current employees perceive it as an unappealing tourist magnet.
"It's not in the Fashion District and it's not cool downtown," said Sarah Levine, who works in the building as a senior technical designer at Li & Fung, the consumer goods giant. Levine, who was not speaking on behalf of her company, did not know about the coming gym or restaurant, and doubts she would use either. As a working mother, she mostly appreciates the manageable commute from New Jersey.

Analysis: Oil trains to keep rumbling through North America's cities
By Solarina Ho
TORONTO (Reuters) - Mile-long trains carrying crude oil will likely keep chugging through North American cities even after a string of fiery disasters spurred safety officials to urge that railways send risky cargo along less populated routes.
Re-routing the crude-by-rail trains that support booming North American oil production would be hugely difficult given the location of major rail lines and lack of alternatives, industry watchers say, adding that skirting major centers carries different types of risks.
"In the U.S., rail built the West. Literally. The railroad came first, and then towns sprung up along the route. And so as a consequence, rail transit's the heart of many of our cities and towns," said Brigham McCown, a former chief counsel at the U.S. Department of Transportation and former head of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA).
"It's called the main line for a reason," he added.
The dangers of sending crude by rail due to increasingly clogged pipelines were highlighted last July, when an unmanned, runaway train carrying crude crashed into Lac-Megantic, Quebec, leveling the heart of the small lakeside community and killing 47 people.
Last week, the U.S. and Canadian transportation safety boards, which can only suggest and not impose new rules, recommended more rigorous route planning for shipping crude and other flammable liquids.
The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which urged that such shipments avoid populated areas, wants crude oil be added to a list of hazardous materials that already requires tougher routing protocols.
"We're not asking for new rails to be built, we're not asking for major modifications," NTSB board member Robert Sumwalt told Reuters. Continued...

A private school has launched a campaign to end the stigma around teenage boys studying arts subjects.
City of London School for boys wants to "break down the barriers" between arts and science, and prevent students from pigeon holing themselves as either an artist or scientist.
The £13,000-a-year school will hold a series of talks by philosophers, scientists and artists to breach the traditional divide between the disciplines. Headmaster David Levin said: "There is a perception that you are either an artist person or a science person. But there is a lot in science that is artistic and art can help us to understand science.
"We struggle to get boys to do art for A-level — we are in single figures. Out of 138 pupils we are lucky to have six doing A-level. If they do choose it they tend to be arty. Only one person in the last four years took both science and art A-levels."
The school has organised a week of events called Unseen Dimensions, where boys will be able to see work by artists including Michael Hoch, who is a physicist and unofficial photographer of the large hadron collider at CERN.
Philosopher AC Grayling, who set up the New College of the Humanities in Bloomsbury, will also speak in a video about the philosophy of art and the subject of creativity.
Children from local primary schools will be invited to the project, which will feature an art exhibition with work by both students and established artists.
There will be speeches by experts including Dr Daniel Glaser, former scientist in residence at the Institute of Contemporary Arts and now director of the Science Gallery at King's College London, a new venue to enable better collaboration between art and science.
Artist Heather Barnett, a lecturer in art and science at Central St Martins College, will also speak to the students. The project, which starts on Monday, will be filmed and made available to the public.Reuse content

Cuomo: Derailed Train Operator Should Be "Disciplined"
NEW YORK (AP) _ New York's governor says the operator of a train involved in a fatal derailment should be ``disciplined in an appropriate way.''
Gov. Andrew Cuomo made the comment about William Rockefeller at an unrelated event Tuesday.
Investigators have not determined whether Sunday's crash was caused by operator error or illness, a mechanical problem or some other factor.
The National Transportation Safety Board says the train was going 82 mph as it entered a 30 mph turn.
Cuomo called that a ``gross deviation from the norm.''
He said other agencies might want to take a look at the engineer's ``behavior in operating the train.''
Union leader Anthony Bottalico says he is confident the investigation will reveal ``there was no criminal intent.''

Simply Homemade
Before they were moms with six children between them, Simply Homemade owners Cindy and Stephanie were food-industry professionals, studying nutrition and food-product development. Now, they've combined both experiences to create a company that supplies healthy, handcrafted meals to busy families. Working off of a monthly menu of 22 entrees, the duo whips up mouthwatering pastas, burgers, and kebabs chock-full of whole grains, hand-trimmed chicken, and natural beef from Heartland Meats. Then, they either preassemble meals for customers to pick up or set up ingredients for customers to assemble themselves onsite. The latter option, which takes about two hours, makes it easier for customers to tailor dinners to a child's love of mushrooms or a dog's disdain for cilantro.

This book examines a series of innovations in education. The book editors argue "innovation is not necessarily an all encompassing large change but can be anything that deviates from current practice". In this book Knight and Van der Zwan present a number of authors who have written chapters on a range of innovations in education as diverse as leadership, learning design, pedagogy, classroom practices, assessment organisation, resource use and enhancing teacher capabilities.

During this one-week trip, you will have the opportunity to:
- Meet industry leaders and discuss global and regional business concerns
- Develop key job skills, such as adaptability, global understanding, tolerance, and leadership
- Engage in dialogue with senior executives of leading companies with global reach
- Meet successful entrepreneurs
- Gain first-hand experience in the many ways culture impacts the challenges and complexities of global business operations
Participants are responsible for the cost of their travel, accommodations, food and other associated expenses.
Call 866.933.5840 to speak with a Capella Counselor to learn more about the International Experience.
"Traveling to Chile was life-changing—the business, economic, societal, and global knowledge I gained was extraordinary. Before, during, and after each business visit we spent time conversing with faculty about each business, the industry, governmental policy impacts, and their financial status. I would recommend the International Experience to everyone. The investment you make in yourself as a professional is second to none."
– Tina Thompson, 2014 International Experience participant
What Can I Expect?
Most students take 1 to 2 courses at a time. One course typically requires 10 to 12 hours of study per week.
Courses are divided into 6 weekly units. Each unit consists of readings, discussions, and other activities you will be expected to complete throughout the week. Assignments are due on Sundays, though not every course requires an assignment each week.
In each course, you will receive a detailed scoring guide that describes expectations for every graded assignment.
Grades are based on your participation in weekly reading discussions and completion of assignments. You will also be assessed on your ability to demonstrate an understanding of expected outcomes for your program or specialization. These outcomes are based on the needs and performance standards of your field or discipline.
