If I understand your problem correctly, you can solve it like this: # Short defer times, but allow many deferrals DEFERSTARTCOUNT 3 DEFERTIME 0:00:50 DEFERCOUNT 500 # Put priority on QOS only. # The zeroes are there, so b jobs do not preempt b jobs, # and so c jobs do not preempt c jobs. QOSWEIGHT 1 QUEUETIMEWEIGHT 0 XFACTORWEIGHT 0 # Requeue jobs. There are other policies, but I have not tried them PREEMPTIONPOLICY REQUEUE # Define the queues CLASSCFG[a] QDEF=acos CLASSCFG[b] QDEF=bcos CLASSCFG[c] QDEF=ccos CLASSCFG[d] QDEF=dcos QOSCFG[acos] PRIORITY=500000 QFLAGS=PREEMPTOR QOSCFG[bcos] PRIORITY=300000 QFLAGS=PREEMPTOR,PREEMPTEE QOSCFG[ccos] PRIORITY=100000 QFLAGS=PREEMPTOR,PREEMPTEE QOSCFG[dcos] PRIORITY=200000 QFLAGS=PREEMPTOR The solution is not perfect, because of a Maui bug: When Maui has sent the Requeue order to Torque, it does not wait for requeue completion and immediately asks for the new job to run on the nodes that perhaps not yet are evacuated. (Moab has the same problem, but tries to go around it by retrying the job start many times.) As far as I know, CRI has not yet fixed the bug. Myself, I have fixed it in a straightforward way, by putting in a sleep statement after the Requeue request. Other members of this list may have more beautiful fixes...

Minihaha maximising its potential
Page Tools
WHEN Joanne Sackville set off from her home in Britain on an overseas trip in the late 1980s, little did the 20-year-old guess she was en route to becoming one of Australia's most successful clothes designers.
Her company, Minihaha & Hiawatha Pty Ltd, based in Collingwood, has made its mark over the past decade as a leading designer and producer of children's clothing.
About a quarter of Minihaha sales come through David Jones, and the niche brand has played its part in the rise of the upmarket retailer.
Minihaha specialises in clothing for children up to the age of 14, with the Woof! line catering for boys. "Ours is a high-fashion type of product," Ms Sackville said.
Even the new baby brand, Bebe, introduced a year ago, has a strong fashion element. "We sell it exclusively through David Jones, and it's become the second-best selling label on the floor after Bonds," she said.
If Minihaha shows there is still plenty of life in the Australian rag trade, the company has also bowed to reality: the manufacturing is done at several plants in southern China. But the intellectual property the design work and general know-how remains with Ms Sackville's tight-knit team of 10 in Collingwood.
"Ninety per cent of clothing companies do their design here and produce overseas," she said. "The products are not just cheaper to make they are better. The quality of the machinery and fabrics is excellent."
Ms Sackville's background and experience in Asia on her journey to Australia paved the way for her successful Melbourne operation.
Fashion and clothing are in her blood: her grandfather owned a shoe business, her mother was a fashion buyer for stores in Britain, and her brother runs a clothing store there.
Ms Sackville herself worked in knitwear design at home, and during her overseas travels lobbed in Bali, where she set up a production plant for her brother, who had been enthused by Balinese garments she had sent him.
A five-year stint in Bali was interrupted when she met her husband, prompting the move to his home city of Melbourne.
Ms Sackville set up Minihaha in 1994. The company now has a turnover of more than $3 million and, with the emphasis on fashion, change is constant.
"We change our fashions every six months," she said. "We look to European models. I go to Europe twice a year for inspections the UK, Paris and Italy, with the occasional side trip to Amsterdam or Barcelona." Hong Kong and Bali are also on her regular visiting list.
The Australian and New Zealand markets remain Minihaha's main target, but the company is now exporting to Britain and Japan, and is in the process of setting up a distributor in the US.
David Jones remains Minihaha's main Australian outlet, accounting for 25 per cent of its business, but the company also sells through 180 boutiques, including some chains. Including New Zealand, that number is up to 200.
"We've had enormous growth this season and our aim is to grow further, particularly exports," Ms Sackville said. "That takes more time. It's a matter of being patient. You've got to find the right distributor in each country. That's not easy."

hey there!
I have a T3 tourmaline wet to dry. I suppose that with any heat added to hair, it would be somewhat damaging, so theres always a risk. I think you would have better results, since you're a 2B and i'm a 3b/c. Basically, it DOES dry and straighten pretty well, but i've also been getting alot of split ends, and my hair is definitely dryer. Therefore, you should only go for it if you're willing to condition it a bit more then usual.

Editor's note: Anne Galloway contributed to this report.
A development company that hoped to build high-end assisted living facilities for retirees in Vermont has lost approval from the state's EB-5 center.
The company, DreamLife Retirement Resorts, LLC, with representatives in Quebec, Ontario, Vermont and Florida, hoped to build six well-appointed, 160-apartment unit projects. The plans for the assisted living facilities include spas, salons, libraries and movie theaters. In February, the company was negotiating purchases of sites selected in Bennington, Rutland and Montpelier, documents show. DreamLife planned construction at two of the sites within the year.
In order to make that plan a reality, the company, doing business as EB-5 American Dream Fund I, Inc., needed to raise more than $144 million and attract more than 300 foreign investors who, under a federal program known as EB-5, receive green cards in exchange for cash investments, according to the company website and state documents.
The DreamLife developers have not purchased land or obtained options on properties, nor have they attracted a single foreign investor.
Nearly three years have passed since American Dream first received permission from the Vermont EB-5 Regional Center to seek foreign investors for two apartment buildings, and in the intervening period, the DreamLife developers have not purchased land or obtained options on properties, nor have they attracted a single foreign investor. Though it's not uncommon for a project to take three years to attract adequate funding, officials and experts say, it's difficult to bring on investors if a site hasn't been secured.
Officials with the Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development cancelled the agreement with American Dream on March 27 because of "material misrepresentations." Three of the four individuals who represent the company cited themselves as attorneys for the project; none of the men identified are licensed to practice law in Florida, where the law firm cited in the agreement, USMS Team, is registered.
In addition, American Dream listed a DreamLife construction team on its website that state officials determined were not notified that they had been identified as contractors for the project. Several said they did not have contracts with the company.
American Dream has 14 days to respond to the state's notice of cancellation. Phil Mooney, the managing director of DreamLife and a former CEO and president of the nonprofit Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council, told VTDigger the company would resolve the issue with the state in a few days. As of April 3, there was no update from the company.
"We can refute and justify everything," Mooney said. "We have 14 days to provide a remedy, and we believe we can absolutely do that. Not even in 14 days, in just one or two. We disagree completely with the letter and are busy preparing a response which will see us continue as an EB-5 project under the [Vermont] Regional Center."
It's not the first time the state has lost confidence in American Dream. In September, the Vermont EB-5 Regional Center cancelled its memorandum of understanding with the company when officials discovered that American Dream had changed its development plans and neglected to send an economic assessment to the state. Originally, DreamLife proposed two retirement resorts; in 2011, the developers decided to expand the number to six without formally notifying the Vermont center, according to the state.
Richard Parenteau, the founder of DreamLife, who state officials say is now a "background investor," was convicted of perjury in Quebec in October 2010.
Last spring, state officials became aware that a key participant in the project recently stepped down from a leadership role in the company. Richard Parenteau, the founder of DreamLife, who state officials say is now a "background investor," was convicted of perjury in Quebec in October 2010, according to court documents, after a decade-long dispute over a will. State officials say as a result of the conviction, Parenteau, a former Rock Forest (Quebec) chief of police, is no longer able to cross the border for meetings in Vermont. Parenteau has also been accused of violating labor rules in Quebec, according to court documents.
Over the last 20 years, Parenteau has created and dissolved more than two dozen companies in Florida and Vermont, some of which list his sons Marc-Andre and Richard Jr. as business associates, according to information from state websites. Five of the entities bear the DreamLife name, including an insurance company, a real estate firm and a finance company, all three of which are now inactive.
Parenteau declined, through Mooney, to be interviewed for this story.
Mooney defended his longtime business partner and friend.
"I understand that certain individuals have raised questions about past and present developments," Mooney wrote in an email. "My belief is that as soon as we begin operations, and better yet, as we deliver on our promises, these stories will be seen to be irrelevant."
Mooney described Parenteau as a generous person who is a "typical entrepreneur."
"He gets really big ideas, and he's not afraid to invest in them," Mooney said. "People like that who get ideas — sometimes they don't all work out."
State officials, including the former head of the Vermont EB-5 Center, and Kevin Dorn, the former secretary of the Agency of Commerce and Community Development who signed the original agreement with Parenteau in 2010, apparently knew little about the businessman's past. It wasn't until last spring that state officials were alerted to Parenteau's legal difficulties.
Lawrence Miller, the current secretary of the Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development, cancelled the agreement with American Dream in September and then reinstated the memorandum of understanding (MOU) in November after he and other state officials were assured that Mooney would lead the company and that a new escrow account had been secured.
The state's latest decision to cancel its agreement with American Dream, based on the aforementioned "material misrepresentations," comes on the heels of accusations that the company may have violated Securities and Exchange Commission rules with regard to marketing to investors.
Agency Secretary Miller said it's unlikely the state will reinstate the American Dream MOU. In the cancellation letter, he wrote: "Based on the nature and significance of the examples of material breach, we do not foresee American Dream Life Fund I being able to cure them or remedy the broken trust."
State officials say the Vermont EB-5 Center, which so far has a 100 percent success rate, must maintain its stellar reputation in order to continue to attract investors.
John Kessler, general counsel for the commerce agency, said as the No. 1 ranked regional center in the country, the Vermont EB-5 Center is under scrutiny from the nation's biggest media outlets. The Boston Globe, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, he said, "come to us."
"We're kind of in a bull's-eye of a target for a lot of things, and we've done really well," Kessler said. "Our approvals at the adjudication centers are the best in the country, and so what it comes down to for us is a matter of confidence."
Confidence, Kessler said, is crucial for the success of the center and the state's other 14 projects. "We've worked hard for 16-plus years to get where we are with this regional center, and we do have unparalleled success, and our reputation is important so if our confidence level is shaken, and if we read about things and ask ourselves how confident are we, that's a very important factor," he said.
David North, a fellow with the Center for Immigration Studies and a vocal critic of the EB-5 program, said he's "never heard of a regional center doing something like this."
"Vermont is the only one in the country that is an arm of the government, as opposed to Chamber of Commerce regional center," North said. "It's perfectly possible that the Vermont entity has a different agenda and a higher standard than other folks."
One national expert on EB-5 projects, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing clients, told VTDigger that making a "material misrepresentation" is a "bad thing to do, if you're trying to get a project done."
The state and other developers in Vermont have a lot at stake. In December, Bill Stenger, an owner of Jay Peak Resort, proposed a sweeping $600 million megadevelopment in the Northeast Kingdom that would be financed by the EB-5 visa program and generate as many as 10,000 jobs. The projects include a new conference center, improvements to two ski areas, regional airport improvements, the construction of a biotech research firm and a window manufacturing plant. It has been hailed as the largest investment in economic development in the state's history and a game changer for Vermont's most remote rural area. Half of the state's 14 EB-5 projects are associated with Stenger's Northeast Kingdom developments.
Gov. Peter Shumlin and the three members of Vermont's congressional delegation — Sens. Bernie Sanders and Patrick Leahy, and Rep. Peter Welch — have been vocal supporters of Stenger's project. Shumlin was criticized in the press for helping to sell the project to investors at a meeting in Miami earlier this year.
EB-5 and the state
The questions about American Dream highlight issues confronting the federal visa program used to attract foreign investors to projects. The EB-5 visa program is designed to infuse capital into risky projects and offer foreigners an opportunity to obtain a green card for two years with the possibility of gaining permanent residency if the projects create jobs. Investors, who must make at least $500,000 in cash available to participate in the program, are not guaranteed a return on investment, nor is there any promise that their investments will be held harmless.
Investors are eligible for permanent residency if the company they invest in generates 10 new jobs that last for at least a 24-month period. In the case of DreamLife, each of the six resorts — at a cost of $24 million — is projected to create 153 direct jobs and generate work for 205 additional people, Mooney said.
The federal EB-5 visa program has been championed as an effective tool for job growth in America, and last August, Sen. Leahy pushed hard for a three-year extension.
Vermont has a long history with the federal program. Former Gov. Howard Dean, a Democrat, was a proponent of EB-5, and in 1997 helped to develop Vermont's program. The center was authorized by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service in 2007 and was approved for EB-5 visa investments in 2009.
Vermont's center is unique because it is the only state-run EB-5 program in the country that certifies and approves businesses, and it currently maintains 14 different projects. Most centers are for-profit and are directly tied to individual projects, state officials say.
There are approximately 160 centers nationwide, according to Jeffrey Carr, an EB-5 analyst who also serves as an independent economist for the Shumlin administration.
American Dream was one of the state's first projects. It sought approval in July 2009 and entered into an agreement with the state a year later. In all, the state has 14 projects, including seven associated with Jay Peak and Stenger's megaproposal, Sugarbush Resort, Trapp Family Lodge, DR Power Equipment and Country Home Products.
In May of last year, Brent Raymond, who had just become the head of the Vermont EB-5 Center, started getting phone calls from the former head of the project. He learned at that time that DreamLife's economic study had changed significantly from just two buildings to six. In September, the state pulled the agreement with American Dream.
"That combined with their not being active for a couple of years, we weren't comfortable with the MOU they were working under as being current because the economic impact study is very material to our decision-making as well as to USCIS," Raymond said.
After the developers made a concerted effort to document their progress and changes with DreamLife project and were able to show they had a bank escrow account, the state signed a second memorandum of understanding with American Dream in November.
American Dream, like all projects through the Vermont center, is required to file quarterly reports with the Agency of Commerce and Community Development. Officials provided VTDigger with the two agreements and other documents, including the cancellation notices, but at press time, the progress reports were not available.
Once the DreamLife project was reinstated by the state in November, Mooney and his team traveled with Raymond to attract investors from China and Vietnam.
It appeared that DreamLife might have secured tens of millions in funding early this winter after visits to Asia, but the situation was complicated by news that broke last month about a scandal involving the EB-5 center associated with the Chicago Convention Center. More than $145 million in securities were fraudulently sold and about 250 largely Chinese investors lost $11 million in administrative fees for the Chicago project before the Securities and Exchange Commission froze the project assets and shut down the center.
Even though the Chicago project is unrelated to DreamLife, the scandal didn't help the Vermont American Dream project, or any other EB-5 program for that matter, in its quest for investors.
According to the LexisNexis Corporate and Securities Law Blog, the SEC prosecution has been widely reported by China Central Television, the largest TV network in China, and the Chinese government has warned investors about fraud in the EB-5 program.
"It is very rare for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to make such a bold comment," the authors, Mona Shah and Yi Long, wrote. "The important issue that should not be forgotten is that the joint action of USCIS and the SEC actually prevented the investment funds from being dissipated."
American Dream runs afoul of state officials
In the cancellation letter sent to American Dream on March 27, state officials said project leaders falsely claimed to have retained licensed attorneys and listed people as project partners without their knowledge or consent.
Mooney denies that American Dream is responsible for these claims, which the state labeled "material misrepresentations."
The letter from the state contends that American Dream's legal counsel, USMS Team, LLC, consists of Richard Parenteau, Richard Beaupre and David Gervais, all of whom are involved in the DreamLife project, and none of whom are licensed to practice law in Florida where USMS Team is registered. Gervais, the project's chief operating officer, practices law in Quebec and New York state.
DreamLife contends this should not present a problem.
"Legal counsel will be contracted out to experienced EB-5 counsel, if issues arise that require their services," Mooney said.
Mooney says Brent Raymond, who heads Vermont's EB-5 Regional Center, knowingly signed off on the USMS Team, LLC, as a placeholder substitute for DreamLife's more complex legal arrangements.
"We have in-house legal counsel now, and will add legal counsel as demand requires," he said. "And we will have specialized legal counsel if we need it. That arrangement was made very clear."
The state's cancellation letter also cites inquiries regarding trade professionals on materials American Dream "used to market its EB-5 project." The company named architect Tom Leytham and engineers Carl Childs and Edward Pearson, as project participants on their website although neither knew they'd been listed, nor given their consent.
In an interview, Raymond said this could be seen as "false marketing."
Mooney said he'd spoken to Leytham on March 28, and that Leytham "categorically denies" he told the state he objected to being included on DreamLife's website.
"He's been receiving money from us. He's been involved all along, and had no objection whatsoever," Mooney said of Leytham.
Leytham couldn't be reached for comment.
Mooney is preparing letters from people who are reiterating they have no objection to being associated with DreamLife, adding: "This is common practice in our industry, that you list your subcontractors in your project."
"This list has been around for two years," said Mooney. "All of the people on the list were more than happy to be on the list."
Pearson, whose firm is supposed to handle DreamLife's electrical, mechanical and geothermal engineering, said he met with company officials once, in Stowe in 2011, and he hasn't done any work for them.
Childs, an engineer from Williston, last heard from DreamLife principals almost two years, at a June 2011 meeting in Stowe.
"I don't know if it's active or not," Childs said.
Childs is listed as the structural engineer for DreamLife, and his resume was posted on DreamLife's website in an undated document that compiled the resumes of the entire construction team.
Although Childs hasn't performed any paid work for DreamLife, he doesn't object to being linked to the development.
"As far as I was concerned, the project was dead a year and a half ago," said Childs. "To me there is no project, there is no connection there. If they want to put that stuff up there, I suppose I should object. On the other hand, I don't see anything bad coming out of it."
Mooney isn't sure when the list was last updated, saying it could be four or six months ago.
On Friday, the list of contractors disappeared from the American Dream website.
A questionable video
While on a trip to China with Mooney earlier this month, Raymond received an anonymous email complaint about DreamLife promoting Vermont as a great place to host projects.
The anonymous complaint alleged that DreamLife's website violated Securities and Exchange Commission laws about how securities can be marketed.
The video, which featured a text scroll that Raymond had not approved, has since been taken down.
Alarmed, Raymond ordered DreamLife to take down an online video in which he and the state endorse the project, until they had received legal advice clarifying their website met all SEC regulations. The video, which featured a text scroll that Raymond had not approved, has since been taken down.
Within hours, according to Mooney, securities lawyers advised him the website was already in compliance with federal regulations. But they encouraged him to "tweak" some "legalese" in their disclaimer.
Susan Donegan, commissioner of the state's Department of Financial Regulation which regulates securities, explained to VTDigger anybody marketing securities must not mislead investors with marketing materials that tout the "merits of the possible future success of the project" while failing to disclose major risks.
"Nothing is to be sold or solicited in a way that is to mislead investors," said Donegan. "You want there to be full disclosure about the risks of an investment."
She said a website notifying investors of the existence of an EB-5 project is generally acceptable, though disclosing too much detailed financial information before vetting potential investors is generally prohibited.
Donegan declined to comment on DreamLife's website.
"We don't, here at the department, opine on those kinds of things. I have no opinion," Donegan said. "Someone must file a complaint to trigger our investigatory requirements."
Lack of property investment raises questions
Despite actively searching for sites in Vermont for at least two years and seeking foreign investors, the DreamLife development project owns no land and holds no options on any property.
Jeffrey Carr, an economist who has produced hundreds of job projection reports for EB-5 projects nationally, said that a project that lacks ownership or control of land while still actively seeking investors is an odd combination.
"People usually have control of the land before they sink all the money into an EB-5 project," said Carr. "The problem is that if you don't control the land, and then lose control of the land, then your project is done [dead], if you can't build the project you said you were going to build. If you know that a parcel is available and then go off and try to build an EB-5 project without actually owning the land, it's kind of a silly thing to do, because you could lose control of the land and then your project would be dead."
David North, a national EB-5 policy expert with the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, D.C., said if projects don't have even an option on the land, in which the landowner is obliged to sell the land at a specified price and time "that would sort of raise some very large questions about the whole thing."
"They should certainly have control of the land first, if they're going into a specific building project," he continued. "I'd think that'd be a necessary thing. Otherwise you get the money, and where are you going to build the building, if you don't have control of the land?"
Under EB-5 program rules, funds from foreign investors cannot be used to buy land. Properties must be purchased with other funds, often from company principals who are managing the project.
A USCIS spokesperson told VTDigger that the agency, which processes I-526 immigration petitions that foreign investors file for conditional green cards, has no regulations that specifically address land ownership or control.
"Each case is looked at, in its totality and its circumstances, for compliance with our eligibility criteria," she said.
Mooney said that it would be "irresponsible" for DreamLife to purchase land without first securing investors. He said the company is weeks away from securing its first committed investor, with about 30 investors at varying stages in the long process between initial meetings and laying down funds.
"It would be highly irresponsible to go out and purchase land, which doesn't count towards EB-5 investment, before you actually have investors," Mooney said. "We didn't get into this business to own land."
"We have done all the work to acquire land, but we won't put out the money or capital on the land, because once you do, you own it. And you can't turn around and sell it the next day," Mooney said.
Mooney wouldn't disclose how they'd finance a land purchase, but said that company principals, primarily himself, chief operating officer David Gervais, CEO Richard Beaupre, Richard Desilets, and former chief Richard Parenteau, had already invested about $500,000 in cash from their own money over the years, as well as collective time and effort worth about $1.5 million.
James Candido, former director of the Vermont EB-5 Regional Center from 2005 to 2012, said when the state first approved DreamLife, he repeatedly told company principals that they needed to buy land and acquire permits. "I don't know if they internalized it or not, but they were aware of it," he continued.
"There were different parcels of land that they kept trying to work on. And just each parcel didn't work out," he said. "That was sort of what was hanging everything up."
"Frankly, the biggest issue with the project was just honestly that there was no activity from it," said Candido of his years working with DreamLife. "There was none. As far as I could tell, they never talked to an actual investor. … So as far as I knew, and so far as they told me, their marketing was somewhat non-existent."
"People usually have control of the land before they sink all the money into an EB-5 project," Carr said.
Although speculative projects across the nation tend to be less successful, Candido said, that doesn't mean a lack of land is a hurdle that can't be overcome — with the right strategies.
Candido said the project appear to be speculative "in the sense that it didn't own land. And if you don't own land, you obviously don't know where it's permitted."
Raymond told VTDigger it's "totally fine" for DreamLife to market to investors despite not controlling land, so long as they disclose that up front. But he added: "I honestly would not have approved the project knowing that they hadn't selected properties, and that there's potential permitting issues – except that they had already been approved previously."
Raymond is now actively reviewing state standards on the question of land ownership and how far projects have progressed on land use permits. "I can say that is not the only project I know of that hasn't had land in hand," in terms of EB-5 projects nationally, Raymond added.
"In the future, if we made any changes to whether we approve projects, it wouldn't be necessarily about owning land. It'd be: Do you have permits in place? Because that's what really takes time," he said.
Parenteau's perjury conviction and role in DreamLife
State officials have raised serious concerns about DreamLife's founder, Richard Parenteau, who is still involved with the company on a daily basis.
Parenteau was DreamLife's project manager from 2009 until the summer of 2012, according to Mooney. Parenteau founded the project and authored the project's overall vision. He also signed the first memorandum of understanding with Vermont's Regional Center, in July 2010, as a general partner.
Now Parenteau is a senior adviser for DreamLife: He helps to structure the project's complex business consortium, and he selects partners and contractors, according to Mooney.
In October 2010, a Quebec court convicted Parenteau of perjury, a conviction which he later unsuccessfully appealed, according to Canadian court documents. The former police officer fabricated false documents, records show.
"I'm aware of it [the conviction], and it gives me no concern," Mooney said.
Mooney said Parenteau is free to travel in and out of the United States, despite his perjury conviction, contrary to what state sources alleged to VTDigger.
"I'm aware of it [the conviction], and it gives me no concern," Mooney said. He encouraged people to read the actual court records and see that the conviction stemmed from forgivable and well-intentioned mistakes on Parenteau's part. "[Richard] stands by his friends," he added. "If he has a fault, he's too trusting."
Two of Parenteau's other businesses, Can-Am Investment Construction Job Center and Work Permits USA, have faced claims from employees that they haven't been properly paid. Two employees have won their court cases; in another, Parenteau prevailed.
In one case from May 2008, Can-Am Investment Construction Job Center was ordered to pay $696 Canadian dollars to contractor Diane Chicoine for "canvassing" work, although Parenteau denied that Chicoine delivered tangible results, with the court agreeing that Chicoine could not produce detailed proof of the work she did.
In another case from September 2011, Fair Ways Development claimed Work Permits USA, an immigration firm, owed them about $5,000 Canadian dollars in unpaid bills for web design work, and won that payment, plus interest.
Mooney said that Parenteau doesn't handle investors' money in DreamLife. Mooney, CEO Richard Beaupre, and chief operating officer David Gervais are now the key decision-makers, he said. Neither the three partners nor Parenteau are paid at the moment, said Mooney, partly because the company hasn't generated any revenue yet.
Vermont EB-5 Regional Center director Brent Raymond said that Parenteau's background wasn't of material relevance when the state reinstated DreamLife's MOU in 2012 because Parenteau is no longer a decision-maker for the project.
Yet, information that came up while he vetted the background of the entire DreamLife management team, Raymond said, "caused me to question his [Parenteau's] business, how he operates as a business person."
Raymond said DreamLife project principals (i.e., Mooney and others) presented a different side of the story as to the perjury conviction, but also assured Raymond that Parenteau couldn't apply undue pressure within the project.
For Raymond, a big reason for later re-approving DreamLife was that its new management team was led by Phil Mooney, instead of Richard Parenteau.
"It wasn't typical for us to do a personal background check, on someone coming with an EB-5 project. We didn't do background checks. It just wasn't within the scope of what we approved." ~Candido
"These [new management] structures that I've seen [and Mooney's leadership] provided me comfort that even though he [Parenteau] is involved behind the scenes, and still has an interest in the project, he is not a decision-maker," Raymond said.
"I didn't see somebody like Phil Mooney, with his excellent reputation, putting his reputation on the line for a project like this" if there were unacceptable risks, Raymond said, citing Mooney's distinguished career and work with the Canadian government. "With a new management team, I thought everything would be OK."
Raymond's predecessor, James Candido, says that in 2010 he didn't conduct a review of the principals at DreamLife and remained unaware of Parenteau's background.
"It wasn't typical for us to do a personal background check, on someone coming with an EB-5 project," said Candido. "We didn't do background checks. It just wasn't within the scope of what we approved."
"We would approve them on the merits of their EB-5 [project]," said Candido. "We don't monitor anything else. It's not in our jurisdiction." But, Candido added, if someone had come forth with evidence of problems with company directors, even outside of their limited EB-5 project arena, he would have investigated.
"One of the ways that I describe it is that an EB-5 application is similar to a land permit," Candido said. "You don't look into everything, into the background of the people necessarily for a land permit. You just look at the validity of the land permit."
Editor's note: This story was supported by a grant from the Fund for Investigative Journalism.
CORRECTION: The story originally read: "Richard Parenteau, the founder of DreamLife, who state officials say is now a "background investor," was convicted of perjury in Quebec last summer."
In fact Parenteau was originally convicted of perjury in October 2010. His appeal to overturn that conviction was defeated in June 2012. The article has been updated to reflect that, at 2:40pm on April 8, 2013.
The article now also includes translations of court records related to Parenteau, which were commissioned by VTDigger for this article.

In addition to world class reef diving, excellent visibility, warm water, wrecks, caverns and marine life, The Bahamas also has some special activities that are offered in a variety of different areas. Shark diving is one of the most exciting and unusual types of activities in The Bahamas, matched only by the thrill of dolphin diving! We've devoted a section of this guide to both. And, just in case you or a member of your family hasn't had the time to learn to dive, we've also included a section to give you the information you need to enjoy yourself on a vacation that includes a little bit of education as well!
Seen from the air, The Bahamas is a swirling mass of deep blue ocean, dotted with patches of light blue and green water and occasionally with islands rimmed in white sand. While most folks concentrate on the breathtaking view, what you are really seeing is a unique natural resource that The Bahamas enjoys and that no other diving island can match! To be a world class diving destination, you need the right combination of deep, clear water for excellent visibility, marshes, estuaries and shallow areas for juvenile marine life development; and islands strategically placed so divers can enjoy both the visibility and the marine life. Since The Bahamas is so close to the United States (Bimini is only 60 miles away), let's take a look at the three distinct advantages The Bahamas enjoys over other diving destinations:
GULF STREAM: Far more important than any political border, the Gulf Stream originates in the crystal clear, very deep waters just to the south of Florida and The Bahamas. The water is warmed by tropical sun and pushed north by the trade winds. The Bahamas benefits in several ways from the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream acts as a giant ocean fence, protecting The Bahamas from Florida's rain and river runoff, ensuring the water remains crystal clear and the coral reefs pristine. Also, the easterly part of the Gulf Stream provides the islands with one of its sources of clear water.
BAHAMAS TRENCHES: If the Gulf Stream weren't enough, The Bahamas is also the home to oceanic trenches. Again, this provides the islands with clear water and allows any sediment to settle deep into the ocean, not on the reefs. Nearly all of the popular diving islands have access to these areas of very deep water.
BAHAMAS BANKS: The Bahamas is also dotted with very large oceanic banks, plateaus rising from the deep ocean and covered with sand. Only 20 feet deep in most places, the banks are a giant breeding and feeding ground for marine life. The islands are also fertile breeding grounds for marine life of all types. The banks and the islands combine to make The Bahamas one of the fishiest places anywhere.
INCREDIBLE MARINE LIFE: As great as these natural resources are, if they were all bunched together it would be a disaster for divers. You would get a lot of fish but the visibility would be dismal from the sand and estuaries. Here's where the geographic diversity of The Bahamas works to divers' advantage! The banks, trenches, estuaries, Gulf Stream and islands are all nicely spread out over 100,000 square miles of ocean. Less than five percent of this is land! That's how you get the combination of clear water, prolific marine life and dramatic diving that is the signature of The Bahamas.

He wanted the party to meet him at the mouth of the oxhide as early as seven o'clock.
Why, Joe, I could have got a bushel of 'em; the oxhide was just swimming with 'em.
In this way they rode together back to the mouth of the oxhide, then separated and went to their respective homes.
The little party from the ranche arrived at the mouth of the oxhide before the contingent from Fort Harker.
The family had lived on their comfortable ranche on the oxhide for nearly three years.
The Pawnees camped on the oxhide that autumn earlier than usual, as one of the boys of the tribe had said they would.
Yet, even granting that to be so, I think you should pardon me, "since not for sacred beast or oxhide shield."
From there to the oxhide, they made two night halts instead of one, as on their outward trip.
But when the oxhide was pulled away they saw the three bodies fresh and whole, as they had laid them down.
The firing was heard on the oxhide, and several of the Pawnees who happened to be out on the highest bluffs saw the herd coming.

An interesting story in today's FT on the Turkish reaction to the congressional decision to label the Ottoman-era killing of the Turks as "genocide". Professional diplomats in the US have been quietly opposed to the genocide resolution for years, since they knew how furiously the Turks would react. Phillip Gordon, who is Obama's Assistant Secretary of State for Europe, had his confirmation held up for months in Congress because the Armenian lobby deemed him to be unsound on the genocide issue. The Obama administration has, in fact, worked very hard on promoting Turkish-Armenian reconciliation and made some headway. The hope was that this would be enough to cool Congress down. But it didn't work. The Congressional vote has put Turkish-US relations into the deep freeze – which will make it much harder for America to enlist Turkish support on top American priorities, in particular Iran. (Turkey currently has a seat on the UN Security Council). Read more

Shaquille O'Neal Tuesday debuted as a TV announcer, and showed a willingness to not just play it (boringly)safe: He talked about the "Big 2" of the Miami Heat -- pointedly omitting Chris Bosh as a star who helped carry the team to the NBA Finals.
O'Neal, who'll team with Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith on TNT's NBA studio show this season -- assuming there is a season -- was appearing on Turner-managed NBA TV in a show announcing the NBA's upcoming season schedule. And that schedule suggested the NBA was acting as if nothing unusual was happening with its labor situation: The ESPN/ABC and TNT TV schedules looked normal, with lots of marquee teams appearing early in the season.

Biomedical Entrepreneur Working On Plan To Translate Basic Research Into Products
Institutes Funded By Mann Would Be Tied To Universities, Perhaps NIH
Bethesda, MD -- By establishing a dozen industrial product development institutes connected with research universities – and perhaps one connected with the National Institutes of Health -- "serial entrepreneur" Alfred E. Mann is attempting to increase what he sees as the disturbingly low number of potentially valuable biomedical innovations that make the jump from basic research to start-up product.
"Academics and even the technology-transfer people at most universities do not understand how to develop a basic technology into a product," Mann tells Molly Joel Coye, the founder and CEO of the nonprofit Health Technology Center (HealthTech), in an interview published today as a Health Affairs Web Exclusive. He observes that the process of going from basic technology to start-up product is ominously referred to as the "Valley of Death."
You can read the interview at http://content.healthaffairs.org/cgi/content/abstract/hlthaff.25.w104.
A physicist by training, Mann has founded and led several successful companies focusing on different clinical problems, including cardiac pacemakers at Pacesetter Systems and insulin pumps and glucose sensors at MiniMed. He is currently chairman of the board and CEO at the pharmaceutical company MannKind Corp. and chairman and co-CEO at Advanced Bionics Corp., which produces cochlear implants to treat deafness and implantable neurostimulation systems to treat pain and other conditions.
In his wide-ranging conversation with Coye, the second in a series of Health Affairs interviews with scientific innovators funded by the nonprofit Institute for Health Technology Studies (InHealth), Mann touches on many policy- and business-related subjects. For example, he argues against limiting the pipeline of new medical technologies, asserting that "the only solution to Social Security and health care costs is to raise the retirement age."
Valuing medical technology
Mann also suggests that society determines the value of medical technologies with too narrow a focus. The cochlear implants made by Advanced Bionics cost about $60,000 for implantation in a young child and twenty years of follow-up care, but they save the $500,000 cost of providing a special education for a deaf child, according to Mann. "Yet," he says, "we don't even have this discussion, because the money must come from different sources -- although ultimately from the public."
Wall Street's expectation of "progressively increasing profits every quarter" contributes to the Valley of Death phenomenon, Mann notes, because this expectation pushes companies toward acquiring proven, later-stage development programs rather than early- stage, more speculative ventures. The entrepreneur is developing his university-aligned product development institutes, each of which is to receive at least a $100 million endowment, through a new philanthropic entity, the Alfred E. Mann Foundation for Biomedical Engineering. The institutes will have access to unique elements of the university's biomedically related intellectual property and "will develop, say, a device perhaps through the clinical trials, or a drug through Phase II [which measures effectiveness and safety in a small group of patients], because drug trials are so costly."
"At this point, when the institute has created a product and proven its value, the product will get licensed out to either an existing or start-up company," Mann adds. "That will generate a much better return for the university and for the inventor, and it can bring important technologies to market that would perhaps never make it otherwise."
Involving NIH
Mann says that he is now talking to government officials "about creating one of my institutes at the National Institutes of Health. The only problem is that they spend more than $3 billion just for intramural research at the NIH, and I don't think $100 million is going to be enough. So I'm trying to figure out how I can build up a large enough endowment to make it work at NIH."

Occupational Safety and Health Administration
[Docket No. ICR-1218-0205(2003)]
Standard on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for General Industry (29 CFR Part 1910, Subpart I); Extension of the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Approval of Information Collection (Paperwork) Requirements
AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor.
ACTION: Request for comment.
SUMMARY: OSHA solicits comments concerning its proposal to decrease the existing burden hour estimates; and to extend OMB approval of the information-collection requirements of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for General Industry Standard (29 CFR part 1910, subpart 1).(1) The Standard requires employers to provide and ensure that each affected employee uses the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for the eyes, face, head, extremities, torso, and respiratory system, including protective clothing, protective shields, protective barriers, personal fall protection equipment, and life saving equipment, meeting the applicable provisions of this subpart, wherever employees are exposed to work activity hazards that require the use of PPE.
DATES: Comments must be submitted by the following dates:
Hard Copy: Your comments must be submitted (postmarked or received) by May 23, 2003.
Facsimile and electronic transmission: Your comments must be received by May 23, 2003.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments to the Docket Office, Docket No. ICR-1218-0205(2003), OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor, Room N-2625, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20210; telephone: (202) 693-2350. Commenters may transmit written comments of 10 pages or less by facsimile to (202) 693-1648.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Theda Kenney, Directorate of Standards and Guidance, OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor, Room N-3609, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20210; telephone (202) 693-2222. A copy of the Agency's Information Collection Request (ICR) supporting the need for the collections of information collection specified by the Standard on Personal Protective Equipment for General Industry is available for inspection and copying in the Docket Office, or by requesting a copy from Theda Kenney at (202) 693-2222, or Todd Owen at (202) 693-2444. For electronic copies of the ICR, contact OSHA on the Internet at http://www.osha.gov and select "Information Collection Requests."
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction act of 1995 (PRA-95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) is minimized, collection instruments are understandable, and OSHA's estimate of the information collection burden is correct.
The collections of information in the standard are necessary for implementation of the requirements of the standard. The Standard specifies several paperwork requirements. The following sections describe the information collection requirements and who will use the information.
Paragraph 1910.132(d) requires employers to perform a hazard assessment of the workplace to determine if personal protective equipment (PPE) is necessary. Paragraph (d)(2) requires employers to certify that a hazard assessment has been performed. The signed certification must include the date the hazard assessment was conducted and the identification of the workplace evaluated (area or location).
Paragraph 1910.132(f)(4) requires employers to certify that employees have received and understood PPE training. The training certification must include the name of the employee(s) trained, the date of training, and the subject of the certification (i.e., a statement identifying the document as a certification of training in the use of PPE).
The hazard assessment assures that the PPE selected is appropriate for the hazards present in the workplace. The certification required with the hazard assessment verifies that the hazard assessment was conducted. The training certification verifies that employees have received the necessary training involving PPE. OSHA compliance officers may require employers to disclose the certification records during an Agency inspection.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
- Whether the proposed information collection requirements are necessary for the proper performance of the agency's functions to protect workers, including whether the information is useful;
- The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and costs) of the information-collection requirements, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
- The quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and
- Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply; for example, by using automated or other technological information collection and transmission techniques.
OSHA proposes to decrease the existing burden-hour estimates, and to extend OMB approval of the collection of information requirements specified by the Standard on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for General Industry (29 CFR part 1910, subpart I). The 1,122,417 million hour decrease results largely by reestimating the burden hours for employers to disclose certification of PPE training records.
The Agency will summarize the comments submitted in response to this notice, and will include this summary in its request to OMB to extend the approval of these information collection requirements.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved information collection requirement.
Title: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for General Industry (29 CFR part 1910, subpart I).
OMB Number: 1218-0205.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; not-for-profit institutions; Federal government; State, Local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 1,100,000.
Frequency of Recordkeeping: Varies depending upon the collection of information contained in the Standard.
Average Time per Response: Varies from one minute (.02 hour) to maintain training documentation to 1 hour to perform a hazard reassessment.
Total Annual Hours Requested: 711,862.
IV. Authority and Signature
John L. Henshaw, Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health, directed the preparation of this notice. The authority for this notice is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506), and Secretary of Labor's Order No. 5-2002 (67 FR 65008).
Signed at Washington, DC, on March 18, 2003.
John L. Henshaw,
Assistant Secretary of Labor.
[FR Doc. 03-6944 Filed 3-21-03; 8:45 am]
Footnote 1 Based on its assessment of the paperwork requirements contained in this standard, the Agency estimates that the total burden hours decreased compared to its previous burden-hour estimate. Under this notice, OSHA is not proposing to revise the Standard's paperwork requirements; only to decrease the burden hour estimates imposed by the existing paperwork requirements. (Back to text)

"Steven, your music is so touching - it goes directly to the soul. "
"If you listen to Steven G. Eads for any length of time it becomes almost a religious service in and of itself. The songs induce an aura of peace & well-being, aided by the calm of the lilting, soothing voice and the skillful & steady delivery of the music. A masterful collection indeed. For me, the top five are: Lord Of All My Ways, Gideon, Tell Me, Fire Within, & Lord of Glory."
" What a delightful body of work! Heartfelt, elegant, at times majestic, this is a series of beautiful affirmations, of personal testaments. Atop his impeccable, immaculate guitar-playing are Steven's engaging, sincere, understated vocals. This is indeed music to clear oneself, straighten oneself out by. "
"Fantastic! I could listen to you for hours. Very uplifting."
"wonderfully inspiring music :)"
"Strengthen My Heart" remindes me of something from "Jesus Christ Superstar" - well done! :-) "Lord Of Glory" is my personal fave - great praise tune!
"Sharing a beautiful Sunday morning with you and the Lord! Inspirational music at its best Steven!"
"I can relate to "Jesus Lord and Friend" I think anyone who has accepted Christ as Lord and Savior can. It's like a precious love song to Jesus. I love the guitar as well. Keep doing what you do for the Lord."
"Really like Always, has a great James Taylor feel, ... great song. Great Voice!! God Bless, Brad Puckett"
"...I think your songs are very well written and have great theology in the lyrics. I really love songs that are about GOD's greatness in creation and in us personally. 'Lord Of All My Ways' has wonderful guitar work and is a gorgeous song..."

"American Pie: Fact or Fiction? A Closer Look at Virginity Loss in the Movies"
Laura Carpenter
Assistant Professor of Sociology
Movies from the 1950's to the present day have often dealt with life transitions. One of the most significant of such events for both men and women is the experience of virginity loss. How have cinematic depictions of this life transition changed over time? To what extent do movie depictions correspond to what really goes on? What effects do they have on the behavior of real young people?

On "Photography's Expanded Field"
Vesna Pavlovic'
Assistant Professor of Art
Referencing George Baker's 2005 essay on photography, Professor Pavlovic' will discuss her own photographic work, and contemporary photography's questioning of the medium's language. Professor Pavlovic' has developed her projects as anthropological studies, analyzing different cultures and their visual representations through particular phenomena. Issues of the experience of history and the changes it brings to society and culture, as well as taste, desire and expectation, and the friction of performance in different contexts prevail in her work. The shifting boundaries of contemporary public and private spaces are an instance of these themes. Either presented as a photographic print, or as a projected image within installation, Pavlovic's pieces confront photographic representation, and attempt to reveal the layers constituting the image.

An article caught my eye a couple months ago in Sky and Telescope that detailed a new breed of low light video camera made to be used on telescopes. One such camera is the ASTROVID StellaCam II. It occurs to me that this might be a good product for telescopic satellite observing. I spent a little time looking at some ISS photo web sites, and was surprised that some of them do not go into detail regarding the camera used to capture their images. Therefore, I am left wondering if they are using an astronomical video camera or not. I would like to receive some opinions as to whether listmembers feel this would be a good instrument for satellite imaging and viewing astronomical deep sky objects. --- Judy Meade 12" LX200 f/10 SCT with polar wedge _~O __O Judy May firstname.lastname@example.com _-\<,_-\<,_ (*)/---|/-(*) Life is a journey ...

CHAMPAIGN – A year and a half ago, the Champaign-Urbana community agreed to offer as much as $1.35 million in revenue guarantees to persuade Delta Air Lines to begin service at Willard Airport.
At first, the tactic appeared to be a great success. Delta attracted a lot of passengers with introductory low-cost fares to its Cincinnati hub. The new service didn't seem to hurt ridership on other airlines serving Champaign-Urbana. Overall ridership at Willard increased.
But in the past nine months, Delta encountered some turbulence. Like other major airlines struggling in the wake of 9/11, Delta was hurting financially. High fuel costs helped send the Atlanta-based airline into Chapter 11 bankruptcy in mid-September.
Delta made cuts in domestic flights and trimmed service at Cincinnati by about 26 percent. But no flights to Champaign-Urbana were eliminated. The airline still offers three flights a day to and from Willard Airport through Delta's Comair subsidiary.
However, fares on Delta's Champaign-Urbana route crept up early this year, and ridership slipped. In summer 2004, it was common for 70 percent of Delta seats to be filled; in July and August of this year, the percentage on the route dipped below 40 percent.
Gene Barton, the University of Illinois associate vice chancellor whose responsibilities include Willard Airport, attributes part of the ridership slip to American Eagle's new direct service to Dallas-Fort Worth. American began daily service April 4.
Barton said Delta's passenger drop resulted from a "combination of fares as well as the Dallas connection."
Meanwhile, Delta riled some community leaders by announcing it will add service in Bloomington-Normal, 45 miles away.
Beginning Dec. 1, Delta will compete with low-cost carrier AirTran and offer three flights a day between Bloomington-Normal and Atlanta. The flights will be operated by Delta subsidiary Atlantic Southeast Airlines.
The fact that Bloomington-Normal got the new service for free while Champaign-Urbana was helping to underwrite Delta service here irked Tom Costello, chairman of the Champaign County Economic Development Corp.'s board of directors.
When a Delta/Comair representative met with Willard Airport officials on Sept. 7, Costello voiced his complaint.
"I told her I didn't think that was quite right," Costello said.
Still, he's not confident the message will get through to Delta decision-makers.
"Much of the top management has already bailed," he said. "There's very short institutional memory."
Barton said he too was surprised when Delta started up service in Bloomington-Normal.
"I was a bit taken aback based on our relationship," he said. "Unfortunately, conversations with airlines are only as good as the ending sentence."
Under the agreement that took effect May 14, 2004, the University of Illinois agreed to provide Delta with two years of revenue guarantees for serving the Champaign-Urbana market.
Contributing money to the effort were several local organizations, including Champaign County's economic development corporation, regional planning commission, chamber of commerce and convention and visitors bureau.
Champaign County's business community also agreed to support Delta service by making $900,000 in commitments to a ticket trust. Those commitments help ensure that a certain number of seats will be filled.
Barton said no decision has been made yet about whether the university and community will continue to underwrite Delta service once the two years are up.
"I have to sit and talk with the chancellor (Richard Herman), the two mayors (Jerry Schweighart of Champaign and Laurel Prussing of Urbana) and the head of the EDC (Jeanne Gustafson) about that," Barton said.
Still, Barton is pleased that Delta and Northwest Airlines, both of which filed for Chapter 11 reorganization, haven't cut service to Champaign-Urbana.
"As of two weeks ago, Delta was not making any changes and Northwest was not making any changes," he said.
However, things continue to change in the airline industry. On Thursday, Mesaba Aviation, which operates the local Northwest Airlink flights for Northwest Airlines, filed for Chapter 11 protection. "This action will not impact our day-to-day business operations," Mesaba President John Spanjers said in a news release.
Earlier in the week, American Airlines indicated it may shrink its hub at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport if rival Southwest Airlines proceeds with plans to offer an array of new flights from Love Field in Dallas. A study commissioned by American identified cities in several states that could lose service as a result. Champaign-Urbana was too new a destination to be included in the study.
Barton said he's happy about the popularity of American's new service to Dallas-Fort Worth, but remains leery about the long-term future of American Connection service to St. Louis.
When American Airlines took over TWA's operations, it inherited the St. Louis hub, rebranded TWA as American Connection and sharply scaled back operations there.
"The St. Louis connection is probably getting iffy," Barton said. "It's not at full capacity, and the St. Louis hub is being downgraded."
Willard is currently served by American Eagle, with seven flights a day to Chicago and one daily flight to Dallas; American Connection, with two flights a day to St. Louis; Northwest Airlink, with three daily flights to Detroit; and Delta/Comair, with three flights a day to Cincinnati.
Barton said he's in contact not only with airlines serving Willard, but others as well.
What he'd really like to land, he said, is an airline with a direct flight to Washington, D.C. That would appeal to many UI researchers and foundation employees, he said.
Barton said local officials monitor air fares at Willard and the Bloomington, Decatur and Indianapolis airports.
"Any time we see anything out of line, we get hold of them (the airlines) immediately," he said.
Costello said local communities really don't have much control over airlines deciding to begin or end service.
"Unless you want to underwrite flights – routinely, that's the only way to ensure air service," he said.
Some area business people say expanded air service in Bloomington-Normal can, in some ways, be viewed as a plus for Champaign-Urbana.
Van Dukeman, president of Main Street Bank & Trust in Champaign, noted that "O'Hare Airport, from a time standpoint, is farther away from central Chicago than Central Illinois Regional Airport (in Bloomington) is from Champaign County."
"It's great that we have Delta and want to have good service here, but there's nothing wrong with promoting the fact that we have another good airport 45 minutes from Champaign," he said. "That's definitely another transportation alternative for folks trying to get to Champaign County."

The Ultimate Fighting Championship has added a quintet of bouts to its next appearance on Fox.
Four fights involving lighter weights and one match-up of big men have been officially announced for UFC on Fox 2, scheduled Jan. 28 in Chicago. The newly unveiled bouts:
• Lightweight (155-pound maximum): Evan Dunham vs. Paul Sass
• Lightweight: Michael Johnson vs. Cody McKenzie
• Heavyweight (265-pound maximum): Jon-Olav Einemo vs. Mike Russow
• Featherweight (145-pound maximum): George Roop vs. Cub Swanson
• Bantamweight (135-pound maximum): Demetrious Johnson vs. Eddie Wineland
Dunham-Sass pits two of the more aggressive grapplers in UFC's 155-pound weight class. Sass has a perfect record in 12 professional fights, including two UFC victories; his 11 submissions were heel hooks or triangle chokes. Dunham started his career 10-0 and was one of the lightweight division's before consecutive losses to Sean Sherk and Melvin Guillard; he bounced back in September with a unanimous decision over Shamar Bailey.
Johnson-McKenzie is a clash of alumni from Season 12 of The Ultimate Fighter.
The heavyweight pairing features the return of Einemo after being released by UFC earlier this year in a dispute over payment policies. Russow is a Chicago native.
Wineland and Johnson have accomplished resumes at 135 pounds, but they hope to turn around their recent fortunes. Johnson lost a title fight in October to champion Dominick Cruz. Wineland is 0-2 this year, but both defeats were inflicted by consensus top-three bantamweights, Joseph Benavidez and Urijah Faber.
Previously announced bouts of Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis and Chael Sonnen vs. Mark Munoz will lead the Fox 2 card. Both fights are title eliminators; the Evans-Davis winner gets a crack at the light-heavyweight champion; Sonnen-Munoz will produce a challenger for middleweight titleholder Anderson Silva.

The attached patch is a revised version of large object privileges based on the feedbacks at the last commit fest. List of updates: * Rebased to the latest CVS HEAD * Add pg_largeobject_aclcheck_snapshot() interface. In the read-only access mode, large object feature uses query's snaphot, not only SnapshotNow. This behavior also should be applied on accesses to its metadata. When it makes its access control decision, it has to fetch database acls from the system catalog. In this time, we scan the pg_largeobject_metadata with a snapshot of large object descriptor. (Note that it is SnapshotNow in read-write mode.) It enables to resolve the matter when access rights are changed during large objects are opened. * Add pg_dump support. * Replace all the "largeobject" by "large object" from user visible messages and documentation. * Remove ac_largeobject_*() routines because we decided not to share same entry points between DAC and MAC. * Add a description of large object privileges in SGML. * Add a definition of pg_largeobject_metadata in SGML. * \lo_list command supports both of v8.5 and prior version. Thanks, -- OSS Platform Development Division, NEC KaiGai Kohei <kaigai(at)ak(dot)jp(dot)nec(dot)com>
