As part of a new omnibus budget implementation bill, the federal government is attempting to disband The Hazardous Materials Information Review Commission (HMIRC), an independent agency accountable to Parliament through the Minister of Health.
October 22, 2012 by Hazmat Management
As part of a new omnibus budget implementation bill, the federal government is attempting to disband The Hazardous Materials Information Review Commission (HMIRC), an independent agency accountable to Parliament through the Minister of Health.
Bill C-45 was introduced to Parliament last week, but the 400-plus page bill has yet to be passed. It would amend the Hazardous Materials Information Review Act to transfer the powers and functions of the HMIRC to the resource-strapped Minister of Health and repeal provisions of that Act that are related to the Commission.
On its website, HMIRC says that it works "with our stakeholders—industry, labour and governments—to help safeguard both workers and trade secrets in Canada's chemical industry. Our tools include sound scientific expertise, good communication and dedication to the rights of everyone involved."
"Without proper education on safe handling, proper storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, how will chemical industry workers protect the health of Canadians and themselves?" asked Adrienne Silnicki, health campaigner for the Council of Canadians, in an October 19, 2012 statement to media.
Part of the mandate of the HMIRC is to "to formally register claims for trade-secret exemptions and issue registry numbers."
A number of Canadian companies are currently seeking exemptions from the Hazardous Materials Information Review Act. They've filed claims for exemptions "from the disclosure of supplier confidential business information in respect of a controlled product" which would normally be required under the Hazardous Products Act.
"This bill will also kill independent review of requests to keep fracking chemicals and other hazardous materials secret," Silnicki added.
The new omnibus bill — the second one this year — has renewed debate over perceptions that the federal government has been trying to steamroll new legislation past the Canadian public.
"The federal government is giving these industries more than they have ever asked for, all at the expense of average Canadians who want to ensure that we protect our natural legacy for our kids," said Devon Page, executive director of Ecojustice, in a statement to media October 18, 2012.

John Dennis Rowland III
John Dennis Rowland III, 72, passed away peacefully on Friday, May 30. John was born in Uvalde to the late Melvin D. Rowland and Ruth Stanley Rowland on June 23, 1941. John was preceded in death by his wife, Sarah
Jane Coyner Rowland, whom he married on Sept. 2, 1967. John is survived by his son, John "Jay" Dennis Rowland IV of Fayetteville, Arizona; daughter, Megan Jane Rowland Klein and husband, Frederick "Fred" William Klein III of Charlotte, North Carolina; brother, Dee Rowland of San Marcus; grandchildren, Georgia Louise Rowland, John "Dennis" Rowland V, Frederick "Freddy" William Klein IV, Taylor Jane Klein and Charles "Charlie" Arthur Klein; brotherin- law, George Heber Coyner; sister-in-law Barbara Waycasey Coyner and Teresa Evans Coyner; one nephew and seven nieces. John graduated from Uvalde High School in 1959 and received his BA from the University of Texas in 1964. He served in the Air Force briefly and remained in the Air Force reserves for some time. He worked for the past nine years in San Angelo, as the general manager of Sunset Mall and vice president for Jones Lange LaSalle. He truly loved his job and considered his team at Sunset Mall his family. Prior to working at Sunset Mall, he had a lengthy career in the shopping center development business, as well as owning his own company, Mallscapes. John was an avid art collector of American Indian art. He enjoyed cycling, spending time with his dog Lucy and traveling to see his grandchildren. Throughout his life, John made many friends who, along with his family, remained devoted to him. People were drawn to his quick wit, his genuine interest in other people, his strong opinions, and his ability to laugh at himself. A small memorial service will be held at a private
home in Dallas in late June. Memorials may be made to the Susan G. Komen Foundation in the names of John and Sarah Rowland

On June 15, Seattle-based coffee colossus Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) unveiled the new Starbucks College Achievement Plan, an ambitious partnership with Arizona State University that allows employees who work more than 20 hours a week to work toward a bachelor's degree with assistance from the company. Employees are able to choose from more than 40 paths of study and degree programs, and those admitted under junior or senior class standing will be able to receive full tuition reimbursement.
The new program is the first of its kind from a major American corporation partnering with a public university, and looks to be a great step forward for Starbucks, as the company has jumped on the opportunity to set an example for its corporate counterparts. There are numerous benefits to the Achievement Plan, and undoubtedly many of Starbucks' thousands of employees are very excited at the prospect of being able to further their education with the company's backing. Starbucks is offering a helping hand to its armies of low wage and low skill workers, in stark contrast to what many other large corporations are doing as efforts mount to increase profits and share prices.
What benefit does Starbucks get out its new initiative? For one, the quality of their employees should increase. Not to say that there aren't fine individuals staffing the thousands of locations worldwide, but there is now an incentive for some of these lower skilled workers to want to come and work at a company offering them a free education. As the program kicks in and more and more employees take advantage of the Achievement Plan, the overall average level of education among the ranks will rise as well, giving Starbucks the advantage of an employee pool that is more educated than some of its rivals in companies like McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) or Dunkin Donuts (NASDAQ:DNKN).

USTFCCCA Rankings | Current Top NCAA Times
PRINCETON, N.J. -- The Ancient Eight are
rounding into form as they get closer and closer to the Ivy League
Heptagonal Indoor Track & Field Championships, to be held on
Feb. 23-24 at Harvard. The League features a number of top-10 NCAA
marks this season, including a pair by Dartmouth junior
Abbey D'Agostino, who ranks No. 1 in the
country in both the mile and 3,000m.
Here is a team-by-team look at the Ivy League squads this season:
The Bears competed in a pair of events over the weekend: the Joe Donahue Games, hosted by Northeastern at the Reggie Lewis Center, and the Terrier Invitational, hosted by Boston University.
The women came in fourth in the Joe Donahue Games out of 12 schools, including Ivy League foe Dartmouth (eighth). A number of Bears reached the podium in their respective events, including freshman Lily Harrington's (5:06) and senior Elaine Kuckertz (5:08), who went 2-3 in the mile. Senior Lacey Craker took the weight throw title with a toss of 17.55m. In the Terrier Invitational, senior Bree Shugarts placed sixth in the mile (4:53.6), fellow classmate Olivia Mickle finished eighth in the 3,000m (9:41) and sophomore Alex Stanton took ninth in the 400m (56.3).
The men's team earned the team title at the Joe Donahue Games, recording 104 points to hold off New Hampshire (98). Freshman Anthony Mazola had a banner day, winning the 200m with a time of 21.93 and placing second in the 60m dash. Senior Zach Keefer won the 500m in 1:06.5 and the Bears went 1-2-4 in the 3,000m, with junior Brandon Boyle (8:37) winning the event. At the Terrier Invitational, Brown recorded a number of top-10 performances, including senior Erik Berg, who placed 11th in the mile with a time of 4:03.9 in a field that included US Olympian Galen Rupp. Berg's time is the fourth-fastest in Brown history.
Next event: Saturday, Feb. 2, Coaches Tribute – Kingston, R.I.
The Lions competed in the Metropolitan Indoor Track & Field Championships at the Armory in New York. The women won the event for the second-straight year and moved up to No. 78 in the latest USTFCCCA poll. Columbia earned 172 points, more than 60 ahead of the second-place team, St. John's (111.5). The Lions' distance runners posted wins in the 1,000m, one mile, 5,000m, and 4,000m distance medley runs. Moreover, the Lions went 1-2 in both the 1,000m and one mile runs, won by seniors Erin Gillingham (2:48.25) and Mallory Anderson (4:58.92), respectively. Both runners were also part of the 4,000m distance medley winning team. Junior Marvellous Iheukwumere won the 200m with a time of 24.29, while the Lions proved successful in the field events as well, winning the high jump and triple jump, including a 1-2-3 sweep in the latter event.
The men finished sixth in the Metropolitan Championships, with 49 points. Freshman Tait Rutherford won the 3,000m in 8:29.58 and the 4,000m distance medley team placed first with a time of 10:05.29.

Junior Rachel Sorna became the first runner in program history to break the 16-minute mark in the 5,000m, crossing the line in 15:53.76 to place third and break a 21-year-old school record, held by Pam Hunt. Sorna is one of four runners across the nation to break the 16-minute mark in 2012-13 and her time ranks third in the country so far this season. Senior Katie Kellner finished sixth in the same event with a time of 16:11.85, currently the seventh-best mark in the nation.

Cornell's lone victory in the invitational came in the shot put, where Mozia's heave of 63-4 ¼ was good enough for first.
Next event: Saturday, Feb. 2, Sykes-Sabock Challenge – University Park, Pa.
For the women, junior Abbey D'Agostino holds the fastest times in the country in the mile and 3,000m at 4:31.47 and 8:55.41, respectively. D'Agostino's teammates took part in the Terrier Invitational over the weekend, marking the third time the Big Green competed in Boston this season. Freshman Abby Markowitz's time of 2:54.11 was good enough for second-place in the 1,000m and senior Katie Sullivan placed sixth out of almost 90 runners in the 3,000m with a time of 9:40.22.
For the men, junior John Bleday placed first in the 3,000m with a time of 7:59.33, the third-fastest time in the NCAA this season. He became one of four runners in the country to break the eight-minute mark in 2012-13. Senior Jonathan Gault earned second in the 5,000m, crossing the line in 14:25.81.
Next events: Friday, Feb. 1, New Balance Collegiate Invite – The Armory (New York)/Saturday, Feb. 2, Dartmouth Classic – Hanover, N.H.

She is the first Crimson to surpass 4,000 points, breaking the school record in the process.

For the men, senior Nico Weiler earned his first victory of the season, winning the pole vault event after clearning 16-8 ¾. Junior Damani Wilson placed sixth in the 60m at the Terrier Invitational with a time of 6.95.
Next event: Friday, Feb. 1, New Balance

The men took part in the non-scoring Wesley A. Brown Invite hosted by Navy in Annapolis, Md. Princeton dominated the field, winning the 60m, 200m, 800m, mile, 3,000m, 5,000m and distance medley on the track, and the high jump, triple jump, long jump and shot put in the field.

Confessions of an RNC security guard
2:50 a.m.
At the RNC, the truth-telling starts somewhere around 3 a.m. Delegates who were on-message when they left for their parties at 10 p.m., return too hammered to walk a straight party line.
"How you doing, dude?" one of the drunk delegates says to me as he pulls out a cigarette, almost emptying an entire pocket in the process.
"To tell you the truth," I reply, "my pants are way too tight on the waist. They're killing me."
He gives my pants a glance.
"There's a lot of hot chicks here," he tells me in a failed attempt at a whisper. He reeks of chardonnay. "You cannot spring a woody here, dude. Your pants got no give, know what I mean? It'd be totally obvious. Gov. Palin is staying here -- you gotta be careful. You get what I'm saying? You can't get wood on the job."
"Thanks. I got it," I say.
One of his pals chimes in.
"Gov. Palin is hot, dude," he says, collapsing onto a bench in front of the hotel entrance.
Even in their lusty, alcohol-fueled swoons, these young politicos still call Palin "governor." In a way, this reverential horniness is sort of endearing. But mostly it's just creepy. Sitting on the bench, the young man leans his head back and squeezes his eyes shut, trying, and failing, to stave off vertigo. "Total MILF."
"All right, gentlemen," I say, wielding the word "gentlemen" like a prison guard. "Get out of here. Time to go to sleep."
The right-wing youth resurgence is taking shape here before my eyes and it has a strong erotic undercurrent. For the first time in American politics there is a strong alpha woman with whom mothers identify, and after whom sons lust. The GOP is playing the Oedipal card. And it could mean bloody war, fought house to house.

Gas prices rising, still lower than last year
BATON ROUGE - Gas prices are rising in south Louisiana, but are still down significantly from this time last year.
Some commuters say the price at the pump is painful in Baton Rouge, where the average is $3.17 per gallon, up five cents from last month. Despite the rise, gas is still about 50 cents cheaper than this time last year according to the American Auto Association.
The price of gas still has some drivers being conservative. As travel picks up for the spring and summer, AAA says a gradual increase is expected to continue because a less polluting "summer grade" of gasoline is being produced.
Some drivers told News 2 it will play a role in their travel destinations.
"It's hard when you're trying to take your child on a vacation and you have to think about $200-300 you have to put in your gas tank, trying to get there and back," said Wintressa Richard.
AAA says summer grade gasoline is supposed to burn cleaner and produce less pollutants than winter grade gasoline.

Having been relegated to the foyer, and the big black box that they call the cinema, when the main London Fashion Week show space was over capacity at 5pm on Saturday, I was close to throwing a hissy fashion fit. Turns out my demotion was a stroke of luck because at the John Rocha spring 2012 show the devil was in the detail. Watching a big screen projection of what was happening on the other side of the firmly closed door, us poor forlorn outsiders (all in possession of a legitimate standing ticket) probably got a better take on the collection than if we were squinting from the back row.
What advantage did that zoom lens perspective afford? We got to see the elaborate Rocha craftsmanship up close. This season it was all about texture. Coarse tangled tassels were heaped on black A-line dresses like seaweed on a shoreline; murky chiffon mille feuille box pleats fluttered on skirts; and dense cobwebs of ivory crochet covered taut bodices.
Headed up by Abbey Lee Kershaw, these girls were Rocha's warrior princesses, stomping down the runway on platform sandals and crowned with wire and feather headdresses. This war queen theme translated into clothes you could take into that battle we call the daily grind with a select few tailored pieces, specifically a white double-breasted pea coat and sleeveless blazer that were edged with tufts of shearling, plus floor length trousers that were almost palazzo width. As for the rest, warrior garb may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for those with a taste for Rocha's brand of quasi-couture craftsmanship this is a vintage year. If a collection can look this tactile on a pop-up silver screen, just imagine what it would be like to touch.

Cenn Fáelad mac Ailella
|This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (April 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Cenn Fáelad mac Ailella (alias Cennfaeladh) (died 679) was an Irish scholar renowned for having his memory markedly improve and possibly becoming eidetic after suffering a head wound in battle.
He was a member of the Cenél nEógain, being a grandson of King Báetán mac Muirchertaig (King of Cenél nEógain), a great-great-great-great grandson of Niall Noígiallach, and a first cousin once removed of Aldfrith of Northumbria via his first cousin, Fina.[1]
His father Ailill mac Báetán was murdered in Templeport, County Cavan according to the Annals of Ulster- "U620.1. The slaying in Magh Slécht in the territory of Connacht of the kindred of Báetán, i.e. of Ailill son of Báetán and of Mael Dúin son of Fergus son of Báetán; and the death of Fiachra son of Ciarán son of Ainmire son of Sétna." According to John Healy, Cenn Fáelad's sister Sabina was the mother of Saint Cuthbert of Lindisfarne.[2]
Cath Magh Rath[edit]
Cenn Fáelad fought at the crucial Battle of Moira or Magh Rath (Moira, County Down) in 636. During the battle he received a life-threatening head wound, and was afterwards carried to the abbey of Tomregan, County Cavan to be healed in the house of its abbot, Saint Bricín. That this abbey was situated beside Magh Slécht where his father had been slain 16 years earlier may not be a coincidence. His family possibly had land there. This house was situated "where the three streets meet between the houses of the three professors. And there were three schools in the place; a school of Latin learning, a school of Irish law and a school of Irish poetry. And everything that he would hear of the recitations of the three schools every day he would have by heart every night."
The Scholar[edit]
Tradition states that as a result of a head wound, Cenn Fáelad's "brain of forgetting was knocked out of him." The effect of this trauma led him to create "a pattern of poetry to these matters and he wrote them on slates and tablets and set them in a vellum book."
His verses were all composed in quatrains of numbered syllables with regular rhyme, and moderate use of alliteration, in contrast to a more archaic form that was still practised in the south of Ireland at the time (i.e., Leinster and Munster). Most or all of his historical verse relate to his own dynasty, the Cenél nEógain.
This merging of Latin learning, native Irish law and vernacular poetry, in a country which was Pagan only a few generations before, ensured Cenn Fáelad's fame in his own time and beyond.
He was the first poet quoted in the Irish annals, being referred to as sapiens, a technical term denoting a head teacher or professor in a monastic school (though not necessarily a monk himself). Later manuscripts of legal and grammatical texts were attributed to him, though the earliest of them seem to date from about fifty years after his death.
Robin Flower stated "How far these are really his may be a matter of controversy, but there can be little real doubt that the writings by him existed in the period when the vernacular learning was being eagerly cultivated."
A copy of one of the works attributed to him exists in Trinity College, Dublin Ms 1317, written by the grandfather of Dubhaltach Mac Fhirbhisigh.
Edward O'Reilly gives a full account of his works in his 'Irish Writers', LXIV sq.; d. anno 678.[3]
A commemorative verse[edit]
Sub anno 668, the Annals of the Four Masters contains an obituary with an accompanying commemorative verse by Cenn Faelad:
Maelfothartaigh, son of Suibhne, chief of Cinel Tuirtre, died. Ceannfaeladh said:
- Not dearer/ is one king to me than another/Since Maelfothartaigh/ was borne in his couch to Doire.
Verses on Cath Moin Mor Doire Lothair[edit]
- Sharp weapons were strewn, men were strewn
- in Moin Mor Doire Lothair,
- Because of a partition not just;
- the seven kings of the Cruithni, with Aedh Breac, were in the slaughter.
- The battle of all the Cruithne was fought,
- and Elne was burned.
- The battle of Gabbra Liffe was fought,
- and the battle of Cul Dreimhne.
- They bore away hostages after conflict,
- thence westwards towards Cnuas Nuach,
- Fearghus, Domhnall, Ainmire,
- and Nainnidh, son of Duach.
- The two sons of Mac Earca
- returned to the same battle,
- And the king, Ainmire,

Long queues of spectators and a stadium full of umbrellas — these historic and previously unseen photographs of the Wimbledon Championships show not much has changed.
The black and white images, from 1922, show fans prepared to stand in line for hours for the chance to glimpse the sporting heroes of the day. Of course, Centre Court fans now have a multi-million-pound retractable roof to shelter under — but elsewhere on the grounds they must suffer London's inclement weather just as they did all those years ago.
The rare photographs are published in a new book chronicling the early years of tennis and the life of George Hillyard, one of the game's most influential figures and the man responsible for moving the Championships to its present venue.
More than 200 photographs appear in the book, by professional tennis coach Bruce Tarran. One shows Suzanne Lenglen of France turning up for the final against Molla Mallory wearing a fur coat.
The book describes how in 1887 Hillyard, aged 23, married Wimbledon Ladies champion Blanche Bingley and influenced the world of tennis for the next 40 years. He won Olympic doubles gold at the London Games in 1908 and helped found the Lawn Tennis Association, wresting power over the game from The All England Club .

…here today-almost as good as California! That's why I started my day with a great 4 mile run. It felt so good to get my exercise in first thing this morning.
When I returned, I was ready for breakfast, so I had an old favorite: a piece of cinnamon raisin bread, toasted and topped with peanut butter and sliced banana with a cold glass of milk. This breakfast had approximately: 360 calories, 52g carb, 11g fat, 17g protein, and 3g fiber.
What's your favorite thing to top with peanut butter?

Chaunceywrote a review of Pro-tec IPS Hip Pads - Men's on January 9, 2008
These things rock.
I bought a pair of these for this season because I'm getting bored of free-riding and have been finally stepping it up and going to the park (and also can't afford health insurance at my work). It was definitely a good purchase. To prospective buyers: They are very comfortable, can hardly notice them while riding. The waist band isn't as stretchy as a normal pair of compression shorts, so take that into consideration. They're snug when you pull them over your hips, but feel great when you get them where they need to be. They do their job pretty well too, but you can still feel it when you take a hard slam straight on. And they do have a pee hole so you don't have to pull everything down to go. Overall review: Definitely worth what I paid for them. Adds a huge amount of confidence!

Colorado Woman Ordered to Decrypt Laptop in Bank Fraud Case
Tiffany Kaiser
January 24, 2012 9:40 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Colorado U.S. District Judge Robert Blackburn said the Fifth Amendment does not protect her from the order
A Colorado woman was told to decrypt her laptop in court on Monday in order to aid prosecutors in her bank fraud case.
Ramona Fricosu, the defendant who was accused of bank fraud in 2010, had her laptop seized by authorities during the investigation. However, authorities stumbled upon a big problem while attempting to search her hard drive --
it was encrypted
Full disk encryption, which prevents unauthorized access to data storage, is an option found in operating systems like Mac OS and Windows. The encryption can take decades to break, and if authorities tried to crack it, it could damage the computer.
That's why Colorado U.S. District Judge Robert Blackburn ordered that Fricosu decrypt her hard drive and return it to the court so prosecutors can use her files against her in the bank fraud case.
Fricosu used the Fifth Amendment to protect herself. She argued that the Fifth Amendment protects her from compelled self-incrimination, and that the judge's order violates this. However, Blackburn didn't agree.
"I conclude that the Fifth Amendment is not implicated by requiring production of unencrypted contents of the
Toshiba Satellite M305 laptop
computer," said Blackburn.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Patricia Davies backed Blackburn's order, saying that allowing encrypted content to defeat authorities would send the wrong message to other criminals. In her words exactly, it would be a "concession to her [Fricosu] and potential criminals (be it in child exploitation, national security, terrorism, financial crimes or drug trafficking cases) that encrypting all inculpatory digital evidence will serve to defeat the efforts of law enforcement officers to obtain such evidence through judicially authorized search warrants, and thus make their prosecution impossible."
Blackburn has ordered Fricosu to return the
unencrypted hard drive
by February 21. Civil rights groups are keeping a close eye on the case.

KUALA LUMPUR: Those spreading the Shia ideology in the country can be prosecuted under the Control and Restriction of the Propagation of Non-Islamic Religions Enactment and the Syariah Criminal Offences Enactment on Contravening Fatwa.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom said that under the Control and Restriction of the Propagation of Non-Islamic Religions Enactment, any individual propagating the Shia ideology could be prosecuted in the civil court.
"The country adopts the Ahli Sunnah Wal-Jamaah ideology and stern action will be taken against those propagating the Shia ideology," he told reporters at a Tabung Haji (TH) function, here yesterday.
Also present were TH chairman Datuk Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim and TH group managing director and TH chief executive officer Datuk Ismee Ismail.
Jamil Khir said any individual contravening the fatwa of the Mufti could be charged under the Syariah Criminal Offences Enactment on Contravening Fatwa.
He said the government was evaluating the existing laws from time to time to strengthen them to ensure that action could be taken to stop those propagating the shia ideology.
Meanwhile, Ismee said the decision on the number of Malaysian pilgrims going to Makkah for the haj this year would be made after Aidilfitri.
He said the first flight for the Malaysian haj pilgrims to the Holy Land was scheduled for Sept 7 while the date for the 'wukuf' was expected to be Oct 14.
Meanwhile in PUTRAJAYA, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) found that no complaint or report had been made on the propagation of the Shia ideology among its students. Its vice-chancellor, Prof Datuk Dr Mohd Fauzi Ramlan said this was based on the monitoring of student activities in the campus, including students from Iran.
He said in a statement that the UPM Islamic Centre had also taken control measures such as not distributing any pamphlets or books on the Shia ideology in the campus. – Bernama

AAA Carolina's report says crashes most likely in Pitt County
PITT COUNTY - AAA Carolina's 2011 report said Pitt County has the highest likelihood of car crashes in the state. This is the fourth time the county has topped the list for chances of high collisions.
Trooper Jeff Collins with North Carolina Highway Patrol said distracted driving may be to blame for the high rate of collisions.
"It's just as dangerous as an impaired driver," Collins said.
It's as easy as changing the radio station or sending a quick text.
"At the speeds people are traveling, highway speeds of 60 miles an hour, you're running 88 feet per second. So, only taking your eyes off the road for that one second you cover a lot of ground pretty quickly and a lot of bad things can happen," Collins said.
So why is Pitt County the worst place in our area for accidents? Troopers said new drivers on the road or people driving in unfamiliar areas contribute to the high rate.
"Sometimes it's difficult to tell between the texting and the talking. For adults, it's not illegal to talk even though it's not a good idea. Texting is illegal for everyone," Collins said.
A sign like "U TEXT. U DRIVE. U DIE." that can be seen at the corner of 14th Street and Charles Boulevard in Greenville is one way authorities are trying to get drivers to think about what could happen if they text while driving. Despite the report's rank, AAA Carolina's public relations manager Angela Daley said the number of crashes in Pitt County has gone down.
"Law enforcement has been helping with their target areas and that kinda accounts for the improvements," Daley said.
In 2010, there were more than 4,800 crashes. In 2011, the number had dropped to 4,288 crashes.

Port Authority Pushes Back on Scathing Audit, But Acknowledges Need for Reform
UPDATED WITH MORE ON PA STATEMENTS ON WTC & TOLL HIKES (READ A BIT INTO THE POST) The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is defending the expanded costs for the World Trade Center project, but it also admits it needs to become leaner and more transparent.
The agency addressed the project's costs at its first public Board meeting since an outside audit released earlier this week. The interim report revealed that costs at the World Trade Center project had ballooned to $15-billion dollars, up from about $4-billion in 2008.
But Port Authority Chair David Samson said the figures did not reflect cost overruns at the World Trade Center. "The numbers that provide an increase in the original cost estimate were not on cost overruns, and they were not over budget....there was a cost estimate increase," said Samson.
The Board said that the project's expanded costs were simply not included in the original cost estimates created in 2008. "They were mostly costs associated with One World Trade Center and retail, like tenant improvement costs, financing costs, and leasing commissions," said Vice Chairman Scott Rechler. He said these were things that would normally be included in a project cost estimate.
The Board said any cost overruns at the World Trade Center site were due to expanded work on the transportation hub, and the accelerated speed of the project. Some work was fast tracked in order to complete the 9/11 memorial in time for the ten year anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks.
The audit, by Navigant Consulting, was commissioned by NY Governor Andrew Cuomo and NJ Governor Chris Christie after the Board voted to increase bridge and tunnel tolls last August. Board Chair Samson said those toll increases are here to stay. He also maintained the toll revenue is not linked in any way to the World Trade Center project. "There was never a statement made that linked the toll increase to paying for the World Trade Center redevelopment," said Samson.
(That's actually not accurate. An August 5, 2011 press release announcing the proposed hike specifically cited "the overall cost of WTC rebuilding" as pressuring the authority's finances. "Faced with three unprecedented challenges at once," the statement said – "(1) a historic economic recession that has sharply decreased revenue below projections, (2) steep increases in post-9/11 security costs, which have nearly tripled, and the overall cost of the WTC rebuilding, and (3) the need for the largest overhaul of facilities in the agency's 90-year history – the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey today proposed a two-phase toll and fare increase to fully fund a new $33 billion ten-year capital plan, which will generate 167,000 jobs."
To be sure, after being sued by the AAA, the Port Authority has maintained that no funding from the toll increase actually goes directly to the World Trade Center, a position the Chair restated Thursday. Samson said said he "disagreed" that the Port Authority had raised the specter of WTC reconstruction as driving the toll hike, saying that press release was instead painting "a general picture of the financial position of the Port Authority." )
The audit also described the agency as dysfunctional.
The Board blamed that on prior leaders. Vice Chairman Rechler said that the last ten years at the Port Authority have been "destabilizing." The agency lost 83 employees during the 2001 terrorist attacks. The Board went through seven different executive directors over the past ten years. "We feel confident now that there's new leadership," said Vice Chairman Rechler.
The Board said it's finding ways to move forward. It pointed to a new joint venture with Westfield Group as a positive sign. "Our agreement with Westfield leverages public and private sector money that allows us to pursue our core mission: to stimulate job creation and economic activity for the New Jersey and New York region," said Samson.
The Board said it will also focus on improving capital planning and financing for big projects. It will also tackle employee compensation. The audit found that the average Port Authority employee earns about $143-thousand dollars a year. "We need to better align our compensation and benefits packages to appropriate public employee standards, "said Samson.

Federal judge: Most traditional marriage has been polygamy. Records: Swallow aide tried to cover up deals with Johnson. Huntsman Sr. interested in buying The Tribune.
Happy Monday. A federal judge struck down Wisconsin's gay marriage ban, saying that state officials need to learn a few things about the history of marriage, i.e. that plural marriage is actually more traditional over time. "As an initial matter, defendants and amici have overstated their argument," wrote Judge Barbara Crabb. "Throughout history, the most 'traditional' form of marriage has not been between one man and one woman, but between one man and
women, which presumably is not a tradition that defendants and amici would like to continue."
Topping the news:
New records show an aide to John Swallow trying to cover-up the backhand deals with Jeremy Johnson. [

Submitted to: Yeasts International Symposium
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 3/29/2002
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: For yeasts, as well as for many other groups of microorganisms, use of morphological and physiological properties for species identification and the prediction of natural relationships has often lead to erroneous conclusions. Application of gene sequence analyses provides a genetic means for reliable identification of species and the reconstruction of phylogenetic histories. Practical benefits of this work include databases for development of probes for rapid identification of clinical, agricultural and industrial strains, accurate naming of patent strains and the discovery of new species. Additionally, the predictiveness derived from phylogenetic comparisons can put direction on searches for new species of use in biotechnology. Primary questions include reliable recognition of species and the resolution of deep lineages. The 600-nucleotide D1/D2 domain of 26S rDNA has been sequenced for all known yeasts and provides a ready means for identification of most species. For the D1/D2 domain, conspecific strains show less than 1% divergence, whereas separate species differ by 1% or more substitutions. However, recently evolved species, as well as hybrids, may not be recognized by the preceding criteria. An example is Saccharomyces pastorianus, which is a hybrid of S. cerevisiae and S. bayanus, but has the rDNA repeat of the latter species, and will be identified as S. bayanus when only the rDNA sequences are analyzed. Consequently, several gene sequences may be needed for accurate identification of closely related species. Relationships more distant than the genus level are not well resolved from analysis of a single gene, but analysis of combined gene sequences will give an accurate portrayal of deeper lineages.

Cleaning up credit errors not always an easy task
It's a nightmare that impacts millions of consumers.
Your credit may be damaged - or even ruined - by mistakes that you didn't make.
A new government study found 20 percent of consumers had an error in a credit report issued by a major agency. The Federal Trade Commission study says five percent of those errors could lead to paying more for mortgages, auto loans or other financial products.
So when this happens, how can you get it fixed?
13 investigates found getting your credit cleaned up, in some cases, may not be as easy as you would think.
More than four years and a mountain of paper correspondence later, Terry Bible of Indianapolis is still fighting to correct her credit history.
"Oh my God, my first call in 2006 was to the Federal Trade Commission," said Bible. "How many other people besides myself has this affected?"
Her case, now with the FTC, is possibly among an estimated 40-million mistakes consumers found on their credit reports.
Medical bills sent to collection for debts not owed, evolving credit card accounts linked to the wrong person and collection agencies reporting debts consumers no longer owe.
"Oh, it doesn't surprise me at all," said Bible.
But the president of the industry group representing the credit bureaus says the numbers aren't as bad as you think.
"Forty-million observations on the front end is very different than the number of consumers that might have a credit report that contains a significant error," explained Stuart Pratt the CEO and President of the Consumer Data Industry Association.
Pratt says one in every five consumers the FTC found with errors on their credit histories will actually see the error cost them money, whether in higher credit rates or flat out credit denials.
The association flat out denies reports that credit mistakes often go unanswered.
That's little consolation for Terry Bible.
13 Investigates first reported on her case in 2009. She discovered TransUnion had listed one loan transaction as two open accounts. The same loan amount of $28,000 dollars showed up twice and ruined her credit score.
"TransUnion left off the four numbers and reported the loan 30 days later," Bible told 13 Investigates in 2009.
"So it looks like two different accounts on your credit report. It was actually one?" questioned 13 Investigates.
"It was actually one," Bible confirmed.
What should have been an easy fix, went uncorrected and no one took responsibility.
With her credit ruined, Bible tried to file a federal lawsuit to recoup her losses, but it was too late.
Bankruptcy proceedings had already kicked in.
Now, as she awaits help from the FTC and President Barack Obama's new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, TransUnion has yet to admit to the mistake.
"No credit bureau is going to want to see double reporting the way you've described. We've got measures to fight against that," Pratt said in response to Terry Bible's case.
The credit bureaus say 95 percent of consumers go away satisfied, but they and State Consumer Protection advocates say there's still work to be done.
"It's important to know that five percent of these issues are significant and that people need to do something about it," said Abigail Kuzma with the Indiana Attorney General's Office.
Suggested Links
All consumers are urged to check their credit reports once a year. It is important to write a letter of dispute to your creditor, send copies of your documented proof, not the originals and send the information by certified mail to ensure it has been received.
The Consumer Protection Division with the Indiana Attorney General's Office can also help you through the process.

James came to my workplace to complete a basic service on my car. He gave clear feedback on advisory items.
It's not often you meet a tradesman that fills you with confidence within 10 minutes of meeting them. But that's how I felt after explaining to James the problems I had been having with my car. It was diagnosed and fixed fairly quickly and if we hadn't had to wait for parts it would have been fixed the same day. Complete confidence in James and I will be using him again when maintence and or the need arises.
Wow! Really nervous about mobile service but phffft WRONG! So lets think about thus he comes toonyou so nontine off work or waiting on acrubbish chair with old magazines great, You get a personal service where you can ask questions perfect , £265 with Alfa or £140 ummm yeah so you great vaule and book stamped , he then tells you things that may need doing and you can trust it (mine covered underwarrenty so dis not have to tell me ) all in all my other car booked in and if you go anywhere elese your stupid!

Prompt and professional job carried out by James. Highly recommended
Price was good, customer service was great. Would recommend this garage.
Quick easy good price nice waiting area free coffee
would go there again
Did a very good job, I would use them again
Excellent service
the price I was quoted was not the price I paid as it appeared that my issue had been misdiagnosed. 3 arches however were prepared to honour the original quote which is commendable.
Happy, got the garage to do some other work for me, would use again
This is the first experience with 3 Arches who originally quoted for full service and MOT. Unfortunately my old vehicle was beyond repair but I obtained an almost new replacement vehicle at a very good price. I had exceelent and courteous service. Thank you!
Excellent service, helpful and polite staff
Would use again. Helpful and kind staff.
very impressed will use again
Excellent service had my car fixed within a few hours! Would highly recommend.
done what was asked, offered some advice to rectify problem and piont me in right direction, happy with the service
Brilliant service, excellent speed, would highly recommend
A fantastic experience and money well spent, Dave fed back what the problem was and gave good advice, the parts were shown to me prior to replacement and he was very honest with his work. most garages just replace parts without supplyibg any detail but Dave is passionate about his work. My MOT is due next month and there is now only 1 place I will go.
Great garage and a nice man! Did the job in the same day and I was very happy with the price!
Absolutely fantastic olde school garage, Dave was a really knowledgeable mechanic, helped me rectify the issue I had with my motor. Excellent assistance and advise offered definitely my new garage excellent customer service.
A professional service, Dave was very polite and his customer care was impeccable. I dropped my car off at 8.30 and he dropped me back to work which was local and then rang me to say that the job had been completed and picked me back up in my car to show that the work had been completed. A genuine and honest guy would definitely recommend.
Fantastic guy and highly recommended. The garage may be slightly further out of the way than other but definitely worth it, great value for money and most certianly will be using again in the future.

Just started reading your blog a few days ago! It's adorable...LOVE how you have it all decked out for the Holidays already. Trust me my iTunes has been playing Christmas classics since November 1st!ReplyDelete
I REALLY want to run a half marathon too. I have started training (with my hound as my partner) but haven't found any ones around where I live that look like fun. Too bad I don't live in Nashville..that one looks like an amazing time! Good luck!
I ran my first half marathon this past June - the Seattle Rock 'n Roll half (it sounds like it's put on by the same company). It was on my list to do before I'm 30 too, and I'm so glad I did it! It was definitely hard but the feeling you get when it's all done with is just amazing. The best advice I can give is to invest in some good running shoes (Asics and Brooks were recommended to me) and padded running socks too (not cotton). Good luck and let me know if you need any tips!ReplyDelete
Also, I love your blog's Christmas background and music!!!
You are so brave to do this!!! How exciting?!ReplyDelete
This is so cute! Im so glad I came across it...not to mention my all time favorite Christmas song was playing on your blog!ReplyDelete
Yay! Good for you! You are going to love it and become addicted like I did! The 1/2 marathon is a great distance and races are super fun and motivating and Nashville sounds like a great one! Best of luck in training...can't wait to hear your progress.ReplyDelete
Good Luck!! I've been told that the Nashville 1/2 is GREAT!! I had a friend do it last year and he loved it. Good luck. I'm sure it'll be easy peasyReplyDelete
Just found your blog - it's so cute! You have a new follower :)ReplyDelete
This is so cute!ReplyDelete

Students' rocket falls short of goal
Updated 1:35 pm, Tuesday, July 30, 2013
Although the launch of a rocket designed and built by Alamo Heights High School students didn't go as planned Tuesday at the White Sands (N.M.) Missile Range, pupils and officials from Alamo Heights ISD called the yearlong rocket development process rewarding.
Aerospace engineering teacher Colin Lang's class of 22 students began working on the rocket, nicknamed Maverick 2, at the start of the 2012-2013 school year. They set their sights on the missile range where the U.S. Army allows private rocket launches each summer.
The students' goal was to launch a 22-foot-tall, 600-pound rocket with an additional 35-pound payload to 100,000 feet to Mach 3, three times the speed of sound Tuesday morning. However, the rocket ascended approximately 3,000 feet before coming back down, said Cammy Montoya, public affairs specialist for White Sands Missile Range.
"I tell the students 'go out and do it' and they do it all themselves," Lang said at a public unveiling of the rocket July 25 on campus.
AHISD Superintendent Dr. Kevin Brown attended the launch, saying the event was one of the most amazing occurrences of his life.
News Channel
"It was a great experience for students. The staff at White Sands was very impressed with students of Alamo Heights."
Brown added the students consider the launch a success.
Last August the Alamo Heights aerospace students' goal was to reach 100,000 feet, but the rocket didn't succeed.
Nonetheless in that same 2012 launch, Alamo Heights was the only high school in the United States to successfully launch such a vehicle and break the sound barrier.
This year's class of newly graduated seniors traveled back to the missile range with last year's seniors, having learned from the previous year's mistakes and coming back with ideas to improve the design and field grain for this year's rocket.
Students worked on the $15,000-$20,000 rocket in the high school's downstairs machine lab.
The rocket was funded through Lang's written grants and donations. Lang has taught the class for five years at the school. He expressed pride in what the students have accomplished.
Student Christopher Ortegon, who worked on the air frame design, said the whole class was about setting a goal and accomplishing it.
"Mr. Lang really showed us how to take things one step at a time," Ortegon said at the rocket unveiling.
"Every year the kids are absolutely brilliant," Lang has said.

How to change a saw blade?
I'm trying to change the blade on my chop saw and can't get the bolt to loosen up. I have the allan wrench stuck into the end of the motor to hold the blade still, but can't turn the bolt next to the blade.
Which way do I turn the wrench that's on the bolt - left to loosen it, like a jar lid or right to loosen it?
Also, is there a special kind of allan wrench to use? I can't seem to get a good enough grip on this one to hold it still.
Sorry for the dumb questions, but this is frustrating me to no end.
How about a make and model #, Web site, something so we can at least see what saw you have.
Is there not a button on the back of the guard around the motor that can be pushed in to lock the shaft to keep it from turning?
Most are left hand thread.
Found this on Youtube:
I have a Sears model, and it has the blade locking mechanism he talks about. Note that on this Youtube he talks about how it is reversed thread, so turn the bolt RIGHT to LOOSEN (my chop saw is the same). Obviously, your mileage may vary.
if you dont have a blade lock on your saw so you can change the blade youll have to wedge something in their to keep it from turning
Thanks you guys and thanks for taking the time to look for the video on YouTube dougp23.
I got it changed. Like in the video, the bolt had to be turned clockwise to loosen it.

Turbo seals shot/New turbo replacement? help
I am possibly look at having to get a new turbo since I cant find any one that can rebuild the stock V39
I was told by the mechanic the seals on my turbo are shot, there is oil eveywhere, abnormal amount in intake, intercooler ect...My challenge here is where I live I litterally am the only person in my county that owns an STi, no one locally knows crap about turbo and Im new to Subaru---
If i go ahead and get a new turbo like the TDO5H{blouch performance in PA} what other upgrades if any do I need to do with it? The actuator is calculated with @ 9psi unless you choose to have that upgraded, since its not much of a larger turbo, would it be necessary to make any changes since its a direct bolt on?
I have given up on my stock turbo since no one @ here knows much about the IHI turbos.
What else should I be checking when installing the new turbo, IE Crankcase issues, oil drain tubes ect
what things should i look for that may have cause the stock turbo to crap out?
1 Attachment(s)
You can't rebuild IHI turbos so you'll have to get a new one if it is shot. How many miles on the car? Ya have to remember that turbos are subject to extreme heat and extremely high rpm's (think 100k rpms). Depending on the mileage and severity of driving it's possible it's just dead from wearing out over time.
Mods you'd have to do I can't get to specific, but definitely a tune. If you're looking for a turbo that will simply replace the stocker and keep power levels the same, everything else should be fine. You'll just need to get re-tuned to take care of any differences in the turbo. Now if you're interested in making more power, consider an 18 or 20g setup. For that you'd need to upgraded your injectors, fuel pump, and also get tuned.
Another idea would just be looking at classifieds for used VF39's and then you just swap it and you're done.
Another item to consider since you're down there, is to get a catless uppipe. They have been known to fall apart and send crap through the turbo, killing them. You're model year is the last year to have the cat fyi. It will add a bit of power, but the main reason is to give you a good safety factor. It could have even been the cause of your turbo going out. If you pull it, check the turbine and see if the fins look really chopped up- that's the sign you sucked up the cat in the uppipe.
Hope this helps.
^^ +123456 just find a used one on NASIOC and call it a day. If you are still new to the cars... I wouldn't reccomend gettng into all the goodies just yet.
I don't believe she has a cat in her UP. Could be off.
Paul you would be correct all STi's have a catless UP as do all 06+ WRX's
1 Attachment(s)
Good to know, thought it was all pre 06's.
also it's not all IHI turbo's that are non-rebuildable only the ball bearing models
The UP cats are a 2.0 engine WRX thing. 2.5 WRXs and all STIs are UP catless.
Basco: Nice to know, that its only a ball bearing related issue. Thanks.
Anyways no one really answered you about upgrading the turbo. If you got anything other than stock, you would need a full exhaust (turbo back exhaust), fuel pump, injectors, and larger intercooler, plus a tune to run it all. There also little things that can be thrown in there like an intake and a 3 port BCS.
couldn't run a 16g with only exhaust and tune? because wrx's only call for sti tmic and injectors and exhaust for a 16g and itll spool faster. once again though thats wrxs, i would guess an sti would work the same, but you could also want to upgrade everything, it depends on your budget
Thanks for your help
apparently IHI and subaru have a contract and thats the reason you cant get a rebuild kit for the V39....I decided to get a TDO5H, my mechanic is only gonna charge me like $150 to put it all back together, since I live in the middle of no where I gotta take it to Orlando to get to reprogram the comp.
The "experts" at the shop Im taking it to basically deal with the STI/EVO's so I pray they should know WTF the are doing....they say the TDO5H is not too much bigger and really just making the adjustments to the comp should do it. {a/f ratio ect}
Does anyone have any recommendations for good shops in FL? I live like an hour north of tampa, obviously willing to drive a few hours to make sure I get good work done
Which TD05 are you getting?? There are several out there, to include and 18G and a 20G size turbo. The "TD05" part is only part of the turbo.

IHI doesn't make them rebuildable because its cheaper to make a turbo that isn't rebuildable. That's what I've been told.
I used to believe that IHI was on of the 6 companies merged into Subaru. But, I can't find any info confirming that. So, I can't say that they are. But, they do make most of the STI turbos. Maybe a major sales partner, something like that.
I'm new with performance cars and recently bought a used 09 wrx hatch from a dealer with 34k miles on it. After a day of driving it the turbo starting to make a weird metal sounding scratchy noise around 3k rpm's when the turbo kicked in. At times i couldnt go over 40 mph in any gear. My cel light, traction control light, and cruise control light are all on. I sound like an idiot from not knowing whats going on. I drove it home & parked it. Blue smoke began to billow out of the tailpipe. The turbo is still under warantee so i think im all set. Just worried about what it really is, blown seal, etc? Let me know, thank you.
Just trying to learn more about cars.
the fact that it's under warranty just get it towed to the dealer and say here its your problem
I'd be absolutely certain that there isn't shrapnel in the oil pan. You might be needing a new short block as well. The '05 and up turbo failures we see at the shop usually take the bottom end out with it. Matt is correct, it is the dealers problem.
