The Minutewomen look to capture their sixth consecutive A-10 Tournament championship this weekend. (Inside Lacrosse Photo: John & Matt Risley)
UMass locked up the top seed in the A-10 tournament with a win over Duquesne this past weekend and looks to win its sixth straight conference crown. Duquesne takes the fourth seed and Richmond and La Salle are also in the hunt after the teams finished the season in a three-way tie. Richmond earned the second seed based on cumulative goal differential and La Salle took the third seed based on their head-to-head victory over Duquesne. Here's a look at what lies ahead in the A-10 action this weekend:
All A-10 Tournament games will be played in Richmond, VA, and available via live stream on the A-10 Digital Network.
Friday, May 2nd
Semifinal 1
No. 2 Richmond vs. No. 3 La Salle, 1:00pm
Semifinal 2
No. 1 UMass vs. No. 4 Duquesne, 3:30pm
Sunday, May 4th
Semifinal 1 Winner vs. Semifinal 2 Winner, 1:00pm
Massachusetts (16-1)(7-0)
UMass turned in its fourth straight undefeated run through the Atlantic 10 regular season en route to a 16-1 finish and a national ranking of 11 in the final week of regular season play. The Minutewomen's only loss on the season was to Northwestern in March, and aside from that stumble and a one-goal win over Richmond, UMass has been absolutely dominant this season. They have scored more than ten goals against all but three opponents and have incredible players and leadership at virtually every position. They will try to win the A-10 tournament for the sixth consecutive year.
Richmond (10-6)(5-2)
Despite having been locked in a three-way tie with the other two tournament teams, Richmond should be a good bet to make it to the final and try to make the upset. While they did lose to Duquesne, they gave UMass their closest game of any team in the A-10, only losing by one goal and holding the prolific Minutewomen attack to under ten goals. The Spiders have played a tough schedule this season and while they've lost every game against ranked teams, they will be well-prepared for the competition of the tournament. They took care of La Salle, the third seed in the tournament, 15-6 when they played at the beginning of April, and will look to do so again in the first round of the tournament.
Duquesne (14-3)(5-2)
With a head-to-head victory over Richmond and a one goal loss to La Salle, Duquesne has the chance of getting an upset in the first round of the tournament, where they face UMass. The Minutewomen won handily when they played this past weekend but the Dukes have a week to make adjustments and take another shot at the top team in the conference.
Katie Ferris, Massachusetts, Attack (Sr.)
Katie Ferris is the heartbeat of the UMass offense. She is the UMass career leader in points, goals, and assists and is the second active leading career point scorer in the NCAA behind only Syracuse's Alyssa Murray. Her points distribution this season has been more balanced than ever, with 40 goals and 36 assists, and she is part of the one-two offensive punch with classmate Sam Rush, who is also rewriting the UMass scoring record books. When these two attackers are clicking, the Minutewomen will win.
Emily Doyle, Richmond, Attack (Jr.)
Richmond's attack runs through Emily Doyle. The junior is the team leader in assists, goals, and points. She works well from behind the cage and has the instincts to finish despite being a natural feeder. This has been a breakout year for Doyle and if she continues her strong performances, she will put the Spiders in contention for the title.
Amanda Kidder, Duquesne, Midfield (Jr.)
Midfielder Amanda Kidder is enjoying a breakout season for Duquesne. She leads the team in almost every statistical category and is routinely a bright spot for the Dukes, putting up a hat trick against then-No. 8 Penn State, dishing out four assists against Richmond, and turning in a balanced all-around performance against No. 11 UMass with one goal, three assists, three ground balls, and four draw controls. Kidder is a do-it-all middie who will try to be the spark for Duquesne in their upset bid.
Kelsey McGovern, Massachusetts, Defense (Sr.)
UMass's defensive leader, Kelsey McGovern is also the Minutewomen's main draw specialist. After enjoying a career year last season and pulling in 110 draw controls, she has shared the load with freshman Hannah Murphy, but still leads the team with 51 so far this season. After missing last year's tournament with a knee injury, McGovern will look to make a big impact playing in her final A-10 championship.
The Minutewomen are firing on all cylinders and are riding a healthy seven-game win streak going into this tournament. They have spent four seasons undefeated in conference play and have won 38 consecutive games against A-10 foes, including tournament games. Breaking their streak will be a tough task for any challengers, and I expect UMass to put a halt to any upset bids.

Hi Betty Ann,
I went on two of your tours last October. We were four women, traveling around New England together; you got into our big white Ford and drove us out to some cranberry bogs and then the next day, drove us around Plymouth. I can't tell you how many times in the past few months I have stopped to think about something that you taught us, or to remember some aspect of those tours. I thought I would write to tell you just how much I enjoyed the time we spent with you. You seem to be so closely tied to the history of Plymouth, not that you lived it, but that history seemed to become alive, more real, while you were telling it.I believe you recommended a book to us. Marian had this book sitting on her coffee table at home. She then gave it to Cathey to read, and Cathey passed it to Elisa. Mayflower, by Nathaniel Philbrick, has finally passed into my hands, and as I read it I remember standing with you, looking out over the water, thinking of those poor women being off loaded from the ship to finally stand on land and to begin building a fire to wash clothes. Not the stuff of romantic paintings, but very real and much more believable.Anyway, thanks so much for your time. I enjoyed it so much, and I will always remember your tours as highlights of an amazing trip.

Ok so I'm not embarrassed to say that I think Serena Williams may be a little bit too much woman for me. I like my women to be soft and feminine and no offense to Serena or anything but she doesn't look soft or feminine. There's too many better looking women out there and she looks like she would fuck me up once she caught me cheating. She'd get me in a headlock and it'd be a wrap.
Naw I'm good. You guys can have her and these pics of her in a nice top. I'll take chicks like Selita Ebanks.

Jagathy Sreekumar, who was gravely injured after he met with an accident at nearby Tenhipalam on March 10, was able to recognise his college mates recently. Now, thanks to the intense physiotherapy session that the actor has been undergoing off late, Jagathy is showing great signs of improvement. When the doctors asked him to spell his name, he spelt it very clearly. This is the first step of improvement in speech therapy and a hint that gives he would speak in future.
Speaking to TOI, Jagathy Sreekumar's son Rajkumar said, "His right leg which was paralysed after the accident has completely recovered and he has begun to walk, albeit with some help. His right arm is yet to recover fully, but the doctors have said that if he continues to recover at this rate, he would be well enough to be discharged from the hospital within two months. He further added, "The doctors have said he has completely recovered his memory and there is no retrieval issue which could have been a problem after such a traumatic experience. They say it's just one of the many good signs he is showing on his path to a swift recovery."
Actor Mukesh, who also visited Jagathy at the hospital said that the actor is improving well and even smiled when he heard his voice. What's more, the actor is also able to move around the room, with a little help.
Once he is discharged, Jagathy is expected to undergo some ayurvedic treatments in Kerala for few months after which he will be ready to come back to the big screen by mid next year.

Information Dissemination Quality Guidelines
Information Dissemination Quality Guidelines
What is the Purpose of this Posting? Consistent with The Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Guidelines (for Ensuring and Maximizing the Quality, Objectivity, Utility, and Integrity of Information Disseminated by Federal Agencies) implementing Section 515 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (P.L. 106-554), the Department is issuing guidelines explaining how the Department will ensure the quality of disseminated information. This document also explains how affected persons may seek and obtain corrections of information that does not comply with these guidelines.
When are These Guidelines Effective? These Guidelines are effective October 1, 2002.
Who Should Be Contacted for Further Information About These Guidelines? Steven B. Lott, Office of the Chief Information Officer, U. S. Department of Transportation, 202-366-1314 (not a toll-free call) or by e-mail at email@example.com. For inquirie s on the Department's administrative mechanisms for persons to seek correction of information, please contact Robert Ashby, Office of the General Counsel, U. S. Department of Transportation; 202-366-9306 (not a toll-free call) or by e-mail at email@example.com. For inquirie s on the guidelines concerning statistical disseminated information, contact Dr. Patrick Flanagan, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, U.S. Department of Transportation; 202-366-4168 (not a toll-free call) or by e-mail at email@example.com.
Comments and DOT Responses:
In response to its May 1, 2002, posting of the draft guidelines, the Department received eight substantive comments from members of the public. The commenters were the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (COC), the Center for Regulatory Effectiveness (CRE), Citizens for Sensible Safeguards (CSS), the American Bar Association Section on Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice (ABA), Senator Richard Durbin, the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), the American Trucking Association (ATA), and Senator Joseph L. Lieberman. These commenters discussed a variety of issues. In the discussion of these comments, as well as in the DOT guidelines themselves, when we use the term "guidelines" we mean both the OMB guidelines and the DOT guidelines.
Scope of the Guidelines
COC, CRE, and NAM asserted that the guidelines should be viewed as legally binding rules. CSS asserted the contrary. It is clear from Section 515 and from the OMB guidelines that the purpose of the agency guidelines is to set forth policies, procedures, and recommendations for ensuring information quality. (It is our understanding that an earlier, never-enacted draft of the amendment that became Section 515 called for "regulations," a term replaced by "guidelines" in the final version). Congress is very experienced in creating mandates directing agencies to create legally binding regulations. Such provisions are a regular part of statutes that DOT and other agencies are required to implement. Where Congress chooses a different approach, as it did in Section 515, DOT would be acting contrary to statutory direction if it attempted to convert the intended flexible guidelines into hard and fast, legally binding rules. We have retained the "guidelines not rules" structure and language of the proposed guidelines.
COC suggested that DOT operating administrations should have a notice and comment process to modify or augment these DOT-wide guidelines. It is not clear that DOT operating administrations will ever issue their own equivalents of this document. What is more likely is that the operating administrations will determine internally how to apply DOT's guidelines to their own programs and information products. If it is useful for an operating administration to obtain public comment, or if an operating administration wished to depart significantly from the approach the DOT guidelines take, the operating administration could issue a draft for comment. Whether that course will be appropriate will be determined as the process of implementing these guidelines evolves.
Exceptions to Coverage
CRE asserted, per a lengthy legal memorandum provided to all the participating agencies, that it was contrary to statute for OMB or the agencies to make any exceptions to the definition of "dissemination" in the guidelines. The Department is not persuaded by CRE's analysis.
CRE's argument begins with the premise that Section 515 is an amendment to the Paperwork Reduction Act's (PRA) information dissemination requirements. This premise is incorrect. Section 515 is a free-standing statutory provision, which was assigned as a classification matter for purposes of codification as a "note" to 44 U.S.C. §3516, a portion of the PRA. A "note" does not amend the section or overall statute to which it is assigned. The assignment of the note to a particular section simply denotes that the codifiers decided upon a convenient place to insert the provision. The only direct connection between Section 515 and the PRA is that the Section 515 directs OMB to apply its guidelines to agencies that are subject to the PRA.
CRE is forced to take an indirect route to its conclusion because the text of Section 515 imposes no limits on OMB's discretion concerning exceptions to the definition of dissemination. There is, of course, little if any legislative history available for Section 515. In these circumstances, neither OMB nor other agencies confront a direct statutory limitation on their normal discretion to interpret statutes in a reasonable manner. It is reasonable to assume that Congress knows how to prohibit agencies from exercising regulatory discretion; Congress shows no sign of doing so in Section 515.
The thrust of CRE's position is that because other applications of the term "dissemination" (e.g., in OMB Circular A-130, the legislative history of portions of the 1995 amendments to the PRA) are broad, and do not have exceptions similar to those in the OMB guidelines, Congress intended to prohibit exceptions to "dissemination" in the context of Section 515. While CRE's argument is an interesting exercise in bootstrapping, it does not meet applicable legal tests for constraints on agency discretion.
Chevron U.S.A. Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., 467 U.S. 837, 843, 81 L. Ed. 2d 694, 104 S. Ct. 2778 (1984), and its progeny provide the applicable standard of review in matters of agency interpretation of its discretion under a statute (it is important to note that the Chevron analysis is not limited to rulemaking matters). Under the Chevron analysis, judicial review of an agency's interpretation of a statute under its administration is limited to a two-step inquiry. At the first step, courts inquire into whether Congress has directly spoken to the precise question at issue. If a court comes to the unmistakable conclusion that Congress had an intention on the precise question at issue, our inquiry ends there; the court naturally must give effect to the unambiguously expressed intent of Congress. However, if the statute before the court is silent or ambiguous with respect to the specific issue, the court should proceed to the second step. At this stage, the court defers to the agency's interpretation of the statute if it is reasonable and consistent with the statute's purpose; the court is not free to impose its own construction on the statute, as would be necessary in the absence of an administrative interpretation.
As noted above, Section 515 contains no explicit, or even implied, prohibition on OMB or other agencies with respect to their discretion to make reasonable exceptions to the definition of dissemination in information quality guidelines. References to the 1995 PRA amendments and their legislative history are, at best, a very weak substitute for actual evidence that Congress intended to prohibit OMB and the agencies from acting reasonably with respect to use of "dissemination" years later when it enacted Section 515. Consequently, under the first part of the Chevron test, Section 515 is silent or ambiguous with respect to this issue. Under the second part of the test, it is clear that the exceptions that OMB and DOT have chosen to express are reasonable and advance the statute's purpose of improving information quality. Insisting on a "no exceptions" approach, while imposing unnecessary additional administrative burdens on agencies, does little to actually improve information quality in the areas of greatest concern to the public.
COC suggested that, with respect to correspondence sent to individuals, information that DOT has reason to believe would be distributed further by the recipient should be covered. For example, if DOT sends a letter to the head of an interest group, and we anticipate that the group will send copies to its members, we should apply the guidelines, notwithstanding the correspondence exception. The Department has not adopted this comment. The decision to distribute a letter is the recipient's not DOT's. The recipient's decision to do so does not trigger further obligations on DOT's part. Only if DOT sponsored or requested the further distribution (e.g., sends a letter to an interest group that requests the group to distribute the letter widely) would we agree that the correspondence exception would not apply.
The ABA suggested that we significantly limit or delete the "public filings" exception, such that material in a DOT docket would be covered by the guidelines. It appears that the ABA may have misunderstood the DOT's proposal in this regard. What DOT proposed, and what we have adopted in these final guidelines, is a provision that does apply the guidelines to docketed material, if and when the Department uses and disseminates the material. However, the mere fact that information is sitting in the docket, untouched by Departmental hands (aside from DMS personnel, perhaps), should not trigger applicability of the guidelines.
NAM disagrees with the proposal's handling of the exceptions for press releases and submissions to Congress, suggesting that the exceptions should apply only to information that has previously been disseminated subject to the guidelines. With respect to press releases and other ephemeral information products, DOT believes that it is difficult, and not very productive, to try to fit very short-lived, brief products of this sort into the guidelines' review and correction scheme. With respect to submissions to Congress, the Congressional legislative and oversight processes provide for a proven, effective means of correcting information that members of Congress believe to be flawed. A decision on a legislative provision can itself be a definitive judgment by Congress on the quality of information supporting or opposing the provision. While factual information presented to Congress (e.g., a study referred to a submission to a Congressional committee) that had not previously been subject to these guidelines would be subject to the administrative corrections process like any other information. Much material presented to Congress consists of agencies' policy views or information developed quickly in response to Congressional inquiries for which coverage under these guidelines is less apt.
CRE said that the definition of "affected person" should be broad, so as not to unnecessarily exclude persons who seek correction of information. NAM also suggested broadening of the term. The Department has not erected any elaborate "standing" requirement for seekers after correction. However, the statutory term "affected" person must be given some meaning; there must be some persons in the world who are "unaffected" if the term is not to be mere surplusage. Someone whose involvement with the information in question is merely that of a gadfly, bystander or interested reader, for example, could be an "unaffected" person.
In these guidelines, we use the term in the commonly understood way to mean a person who can show that he or she can be harmed by information that does not comply with the guidelines or can benefit from a correction of such information. We do not believe that it is useful to create an elaborate abstract definition of the term. Rather, in the guidance for the administrative corrections process, we ask requesters to explain how they are affected and provide discretion to DOT organizations to determine if the requester is an affected person who should receive a substantive response.
ABA said that if data is first disseminated before October 1, 2002, and retained on a Department's web site thereafter, it should be covered by the guidelines, evidently on the theory that it is continuously disseminated because it is still available to readers. In the Department's view, the ABA's position would give unreasonably retroactive effect to the guidelines with respect to documents that may be years old and were not subject to the pre-dissemination review provided in the guidelines. Maintenance of information on DOT web sites or paper files does not, in itself, subject information disseminated before this date to the guidelines. However, the Department's policy is to treat as subject to the guidelines information that we maintain in a way that is readily available to the public and that continues to play a significant, active role in Departmental programs or in private sector decisions. NAM essentially agreed with the Department's position on handling of data first disseminated before October 1, 2002.
Rulemaking-related Issues
COC and CRE said that the guidelines should not exclude rulemakings. They do not. Since there was evidently some misunderstanding on this point, the final guidelines make this point even more explicit than the proposal. The substantive requirements of the guidelines (objectivity, integrity, etc.) apply to information in rulemakings just as they do to other information. What is different is the mechanism used to respond to requests for correction. As in the proposal, the final guidelines state that the existing mechanism of a response to public comment on a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the preamble will be the primary way in which the Department responds to requests for correction about information in the NPRM. CSS said that information in rulemaking documents should be excluded from the guidelines. We do not agree that this would either be desirable or consistent with the statute and OMB guidelines.
Commenters did make three useful points about the use of rulemaking and analogous mechanisms for responses to requests for correction. First, as COC pointed out, if an NPRM came out before October 1, 2002, with the final rule published after this date, the public would not have had the opportunity to comment with respect to conformity of information to these guidelines. For this reason, we have changed the language of the guidelines to state that we would reject a request for correction only if someone had previously had the chance to comment on a document with respect to compliance with the guidelines. This is a transitional issue that we expect would not arise frequently after the first year or two of our implementation of the guidelines.
Second, COC and CRE said that a problem with responding to comments in a final rule is that final rules can come out a very long time after a proposal. We agree that, if it appears to the Department that a final rule will be delayed a long time, or the requester has made a good case that a quicker response is necessary, the Department could exercise its discretion to issue a response before the final rule is issued. We have added language to this effect.
Third, COC also asked how the reconsideration process applied to rulemakings. In the case of information in an NPRM, the response of the Department in the preamble to the final rule would be the initial response. Normally, a request for reconsideration of the initial decision on the request for correction would be handled either as a request for reconsideration of the rule or amendment of the rule under agency guidelines. However, in the case where the requester sought a correction that did not affect the rule - and the agency agreed that a correction would not affect the rule - the Department would follow through the same reconsideration process applicable in non-rulemaking situations.
In terms of deciding whether to accept a request for correction from someone who could have commented on an NPRM, ABA urged that the Department distinguish between commenters and (especially unsophisticated) non-commenters, giving greater consideration to the latter. Everyone has the chance to comment on a rulemaking. Those who are unaware of the rulemaking or choose not to participate do not have their voices heard, whether with respect to the contents of the NPRM generally or with respect to information quality issues. We do not know of any means by which we can distinguish the relative sophistication of commenters about the rulemaking process.
Third-Party Information
COC asked that the guidelines clarify that information submitted by contractors and grantees, as well as commenters, may be subject to the guidelines. We agree, and have added another example. COC and CRE also ask that third-party proprietary models seldom or never be used, and that strong robustness checks be employed when they are. DOT agencies seldom, if ever, use third-party proprietary models. Robustness checks in this situation are called for by the OMB guidelines, and we have added language to this effect.
ATA asked that the guidelines specifically apply to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) "SafeStat" system. This is a web-available ranking system for the safety performance of motor carriers. The inputs for the system include data from state as well as FMCSA inspectors. ATA is concerned that if some of the data from state sources is erroneous, there is no present mechanism by which FMCSA can correct it. On the other hand, the state-generated information, while used and disseminated by FMCSA, is not owned or in the hands of FMCSA, making correction problematic at best.
We agree with ATA that data quality of the SafeStat system is important and that the system, as a general matter, is covered by these guidelines. However, like other information systems in which the Department inputs and then makes use of data supplied by the states, FMCSA does not own, possess, or control the state-generated data. This makes application of the guidelines' administrative correction mechanism difficult.
Suppose, for example, that a motor carrier contacts FMCSA and says that the SafeStat web site contains inaccurate information about the carrier (e.g., the system says there was a crash involving one of the carrier's trucks and the carrier denies it). The information came from a local law enforcement agency to a state safety agency, which in turn uploaded the information to FMCSA. How would FMCSA staff in Washington, or agency contractors in Massachusetts, determine whether the report is accurate? If information appears inaccurate, through what process could FMCSA, which has no authority over the law enforcement agency, get the agency to change the report if FMCSA believed it to be incorrect? If FMCSA changed the report in the Federal database, then there would be an inconsistency between the Federal and state/local data, as well as a potential disruption in the necessary close working relationship among the Federal/state/local parties involved. FMCSA can work with state partners to improve the transparency of data, include appropriate disclaimers in relevant databases, and correct some individual items where feasible. However, it would be misleading to portray these guidelines as a "magic bullet" that can effectively correct allegedly incorrect individual items in FMCSA or state databases on an across-the-board basis.
From a study FMCSA did of randomly selected motor carriers, it appears that the rate of errors in SafeStat data is small - on the order of ¼ of one percent. In addition, FMCSA already has in place some safeguards that fall under the general heading of pre-dissemination review, such as checking for discrepancies in incoming data and confirmation analysis of data prior to release. Nevertheless, FMCSA agrees that it has responsibility to facilitate the correction of the relatively infrequent errors in system data.
For this reason, FMCSA is currently developing additional data correction guidelines. The concept behind these guidelines is that FMCSA will provide more tools to the state to facilitate correction of motor carrier inspection and crash data. When motor carriers contact FMCSA with a concern about data accuracy, FMCSA will provide the information to the appropriate state Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) office, which would seek to resolve the matter and then notify the carrier of its action. Currently, states must re-upload the data to FMCSA's Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) in order to effect the change. However, FMCSA is enhancing MCMIS to allow state MCSAP offices direct access to make any needed changes in crash or inspection information. One action the MCSAP office could take with the enhanced system is to place a "hold" on disputed data so that it would not be included in the SafeStat system or other databases until the dispute is resolved. In the future, FMCSA will look at the possibility of automating this process further, perhaps through the use of an on-line correction request form that could be transmitted electronically to the appropriate state office. Before FMCSA issues final data correction guidelines, additional procedures will be developed and tested to ensure that data in error are corrected in a timely fashion.
The application of the guidelines to the SafeStat system is an example - the only one cited by commenters - of what may be a broader long-term issue. There may be a variety of programs in which the Department, or other Federal agencies, necessarily rely on or further disseminate information provided by state and local governments. Because of the action the Department takes with respect to the information, it appears that the information is subject to the guidelines. Yet application of the specific features of the guidelines may be very difficult. The Department, as it implements the guidelines over time, will work on ways of applying the principles and objectives of the guidelines in these situations, in ways that fit the individual circumstances of the programs involved.
Administrative Corrections Process
CRE and NAM asked that the deciding official for initial correction requests, as well as requests for reconsideration, be outside the office or organization that generated the information involved. Objectivity and a lack of personal investment in an information product are desirable qualities in a deciding official. So, however, is knowledge of the subject matter. Admittedly, these two qualities can be difficult to find in the same individual. The guidance to DOT organizations is to do the best they can to find such a combination. However, mandating that the deciding official be outside the organization that produced the information could guarantee that the decision maker was unfamiliar with the issues involved. At the reconsideration stage for requests involving influential information, the final guidelines specify a three-person panel that typically would employ two persons from other DOT organizations.
Several comments addressed timing. CRE thought that there should be a maximum 45day response period to requests for correction, while CSS thought there should be a 3month statute of limitations on requests for correction after the dissemination of information. CSS also thought there should be a disclaimer that responses should be limited to information available at the time of the dissemination, so that there would not be a "moving target" situation.
We believe that, given the press of work at the Department, establishing a 45-day response period might be promising more than we could reasonably deliver. We have modified the 90-day time frame of the proposal to be 60 days, though we will strive to respond to requests as soon as possible in any case. We also believe a 3-month statute of limitations is unreasonably short, and ignores the problem, raised by other commenters, that the importance of a piece of information may not be readily apparent when it is first disseminated. Therefore, we have retained the proposal's suggestion that the Department can choose not to make corrections of information that is more than one year old, unless the data remains significant in ongoing DOT or private sector activities and decisions. In the final version of the guidelines, we have made this point a consideration in the Department's decision on a request rather than a "filter" that would screen requests out of the system.
We agree with CSS that the Department should not have to face a "moving target" situation, and we have added language to this effect. ABA suggested that we put a "flag" in a web site to note information that we have agreed to correct but have not yet corrected. While we have not included language to this effect in the guidelines, we will consider, as we implement the guidelines, whether this idea is practical and desirable.
Influential Information
COC, CRE, NAM and ABA objected to the use of the $100 million criterion in the proposal's discussion of influential information. CRE and NAM also believed that the discussion was too restrictive in its treatment of influential. We have clarified the discussion of the $100 million figure: if something has an impact of $100 million or more, the impact is likely intense, but having an economic impact of that amount is not essential to finding an intense impact. Depending on the circumstances and parties involved, a lesser economic impact could also contribute to a determination that information is influential.
We do not believe that the discussion of this concept is too restrictive. Indeed, it is an excellent example of the guidance orientation of this document, being a discussion of a thinking process designed to help DOT officials make sound decisions on the issue of influential information. In our view, consideration of the breadth as well as the intensity of an impact is essential to a fair decision on whether information is influential. In the absence of such consideration, virtually any information of interest to a particular party could be declared influential, which would be inconsistent with the intent of the guidelines.
With respect to peer review, CRE asked the Department to address the standards for rebutting the presumption of the adequacy of peer-reviewed information, while CSS suggested that we address the limitations of peer review. We have incorporated language in response to both suggestions.
COC, CRE and NAM commented that the guidelines should specifically adopt or adapt (preferably the former) Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) standards for reviewing influential information in the context of risk analysis. CSS suggested adapting rather than adopting.
While the Department may disseminate information products that evaluate safety risks in various ways, the Department appears not to conduct many formal "risk analyses" of the kind often promulgated by health and environmental agencies. The SDWA model is probably not a close fit for most DOT activities. Nevertheless, the general principles of the SDWA have wide application, and the Department will adopt or adapt these principles, as applicable, to its evaluations of risks. The final guidelines call on DOT organizations to apply the SDWA standards to their risk-related products.
Other Comments
CSS suggested that we add language placing compliance with the guidelines in the context of other agency objectives, such as carrying out agency missions, staying within budget and priority restraints, and providing useful information to the public. We think this is a useful suggestion, and we have added such language.
NAM said that the guidelines should identify who the appropriate data quality official is in a DOT organization. The Department does not believe it would be productive to list these operating administration contact persons by name in the guidelines, as their identity will no doubt change from time to time. The Department will consider having a current directory of these operating administration contacts on its web site, however. It should be pointed out that the role of this official is not to make determinations on requests for correction; it is simply to act as a facilitator of the process within the DOT organization.

Children talk about D-Day
Prince Charles and Prime Minister Gordon Brown have attended memorial services in France to mark the 65th anniversary of D-Day.
The services are to remember more than 150,000 troops who took part in a military operation which played a huge part in ending World War II.
The day's first major service was at Bayeux Cathedral, one of many taking place throughout the day.
Thousands of veterans of the war have attended the anniversary.
Mr Brown laid a wreath inside the Cathedral in remembrance of the soldiers who lost their lives during the landings.
Prince Charles and Mr Brown also attended an event at a cemetery in Normandy along with French President Nicolas Sarkozy and US President Barack Obama.
D-Day was a hugely important military operation which saw thousands of troops parachute and sail to northern France.
They were trying to free Europe from the Nazi Party, who had taken over most of the continent.

About Me
I'm here to take photos and chew bubble gum... And I'm all out of bubble gum.
TF Shoots are on a very select basis, but you never know unless you ask!
If I have contacted you, then I am planning on shooting on a TF basis.
Ask anyone I have worked with, I am very easy to get along with. There are many wonderful photographers (professionally and personally) in this area, but there are also many that just want to take advantage of you as a model.
I pride myself in being extremely professional and respectful in all manners, and the people I am fortunate enough to work with always walk away from a shoot agreeing with that.
I no longer shoot TFP unless I feel as though your photos will be beneficial to my portfolio. If all you are looking for are the typical pretty pictures, there are tons of photographers around this area you can go to.
To shoot with me, you must have vision beyond the typical, or have a unique look or ability that will make you stand out among your peers.
I will ask a lot of questions to match you to the idea that will match your look and personality best with my styles of photography... But I am always open to your suggestions.
I thrive on the creativity that comes from a mutual understanding of an idea.
Take a chance and work with me, or not. It's up to you.

Occupy protesters try to keep movement going
NEW YORK – Trying to rebound from the loss of its trademark encampments in this and other cities, the Occupy movement took to the streets Thursday in a bid to show that its 2-month-old crusade against economic inequality still has legs.
What Occupy Wall Street leaders termed a "Day of Action," which was planned before police raided and dismantled a tent city in Lower Manhattan early Tuesday, was seen as a test of whether the loss of its founding settlement had energized the movement or demoralized it.
Despite fears that the protesters might delay the opening of the New York Stock Exchange and try to stop subway service, the day was a relatively peaceful mixture of marches, speeches, street theater, standoffs with police and attempts to proselytize passersby at subway stations.
STORY: Occupy Memphis, tea party members meet

MORE: Full coverage on Occupy Wall Street
Thursday evening, about a thousand people walked peacefully and legally across the Brooklyn Bridge, staying on the walkway under the eye of hundreds of police officers. The bridge was the site of more than 700 arrests Oct. 1 when protesters tried to block it.
Some Occupy protesters were arrested Thursday night for trying to block the roadway for vehicles, but most marchers stayed on the walk path.
Earlier Thursday, police made at least 300 arrests. Some protesters were bloodied as they were hauled away. Seven officers were injured in scuffles with demonstrators; one required 20 stitches for a hand wound, the city said.
Protest organizers praised the turnout, but it fell far short of the 10,000 people that Mayor Michael Bloomberg said police had been expecting. Bloomberg characterized the disruption caused by the protests as "minimal."
In Los Angeles, about 500 Occupy sympathizers, many of them union members, marched downtown, chanting, "Banks got bailed out. We got sold out." More than two dozen people were arrested. Demonstrators also turned out in Washington, D.C.; Kansas City, Mo.; Minneapolis and St. Louis, where police arrested at least a dozen who tried to block a downtown bridge.
Police arrested 21 demonstrators in Las Vegas, and 20 were led away in plastic handcuffs in Portland, Ore., for sitting on a bridge. In Albany, N.Y., about 250 protesters from Buffalo, Rochester and other encampments arrived by bus to join a demonstration in a downtown park.
Occupy supporters said the day suggested what shape the movement would take in the wake of the encampments' demise.
"Today we demonstrated that the eviction from the park is not the end of the movement. This is Phase Two," said Jason Read, 40, a member of the Occupy group from Portland, Maine, who came to New York for the protests. He stood outside a subway stop, holding a sign that said, "We Are Free People." Other protesters at the stop included Barbara Schlachet, a psychotherapist still recovering from knee replacement surgery six weeks ago. "I'm not supposed to be here, but I wanted to be counted," she said.
Some wondered about the impact of images of demonstrators scuffling with police. "The public is largely sympathetic" to the Occupy forces, said Costas Panagopoulos, a Fordham University political scientist who studies the movement. "But that could change if it looks as if they're crossing the line into violence."
Televised images Thursday included police dragging a woman on the pavement by her backpack across an intersection and demonstrators taunting police
Panagopoulos said protesters' frustration was understandable: "Although they're getting a response from the media and the public, they're not seeing any response from the people they're trying to influence — politicians."
They weren't the only ones frustrated. Some denizens of Lower Manhattan said they were sick of the Occupiers. "This has gone on too long," said Chris Plant, a financial adviser whose office is near Zuccotti Park, site of the former encampment. "They've made their point. The noise and the hassles and the crowds, it's too much."

John Fitzgerald Kennedy, May 29, 1917 – Nov. 22, 1963
Who was he? What was his marriage to Jackie like? What if, on that fateful day in 1963, the bubble had been up? And would you travel back in time to stop his assassination if you could?
11/22/63: a Novel
by Stephen King
On November 22, 1963, three shots changed the world. What if it never happened? Jake Epping is a 35-year-old high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching adults in the GED program. Not much later, Jake's friend Al, who runs the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to 1958. He enlists Jake on an insane, and insanely impossible, mission to try to prevent the Kennedy assassination.
If Kennedy Lived: the First and Second Terms of President John F. Kennedy, an Alternate History
by Jeff Greenfield
When shots ring out in Dallas, TX, it's raining, and the President's limo has a bubble shell over the covertible. Kennedy is wounded, but not killed. This is the story of the first and second terms of a John F. Kennedy who survived his 1963 trip to Dallas and what it meant to the people and politics of the era. Synopsis by Mark, on Goodreads.
The Kennedy Half-Century: the Presidency, Assassination, and Lasting Legacy of John F. Kennedy
by Larry Sabato
John F. Kennedy died almost half a century ago, yet because of his extraordinary promise and untimely death, his star still resonates strongly. On the anniversary of his assassination, celebrated political scientist and analyst Larry J. Sabato – himself a teenager in the early 1960s and inspired by JFK and his presidency – explores the fascinating and powerful influence he has had over five decades on the media, the general public, and especially on each of his nine presidential successors.
The Kennedys
The legendary Kennedys seemed to have it all-money, power, charm, ambition. From Joe Kennedy's rise on Wall Street to the collapse of his last son's presidential hopes in 1980, the compelling tale of the Kennedy dynasty still fascinates Americans. American Experience presents the first comprehensive look at one man's elusive dream for his family and his nation, beginning in triumph and ending in tragedy.
Profiles in Courage
by John F. Kennedy, introduction by Caroline Kennedy
"This is a book about that most admirable of human virtues– courage. 'Grace under pressure,' Ernest Hemingway defined it. And these are the stories of the pressures experienced by eight United States Senators and the grace with which they endured them." – John F. Kennedy
Then Everything Changed: Stunning Alternate Histories of American Politics : JFK, RFK, Carter, Ford, Reagan
by Jeff Greenfield
Veteran CBS News reporter and commentator Greenfield speculates what would have happened if an actual failed attempt to assassinate JFK before his inauguration instead succeeded; Robert Kennedy isn't assassinated, beats Nixon in 1968, winds down the Vietnam War, and with no Watergate scandal, the cultural changes of the 1970s are averted; and, Ford wins re-election, but in 1980 it's Hart vs. Reagan, and Hart wins.
These Few Precious Days: the Final Year of Jack with Jackie
by Christopher Andersen
They were the original power couple: outlandishly rich, impossibly attractive, and endlessly fascinating.

Top Down: a Novel of the Kennedy Assassination
by Jim Lehrer

RFID Journal reviews Powercast's Battery-less Wireless Sensor System
An article in RFID Journal recently reviewed the Powercast Lifetime Power Wireless Sensor System which has battery-less wireless sensors (passive wireless sensor tags) powered by RF energy.
"Powercast Corp. is marketing active RFID sensor tags that harvest power from RF signals. The system includes an RF transmitter that provides power signals to sensor tags, and a gateway that receives information transmitted by those tags. The company's focus is on developing solutions for the wireless transmission of sensor data, such as what is required by data centers. In this case, rather than using wired sensors or traditional active RFID tags to send sensor data regarding a room's conditions, the Powercast system simply uses continuous RF signals to charge a battery or capacitor built into a sensor tag. The solution, known as the Lifetime Power Wireless Sensor System, targets the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) sector, as well as other building-controls industries, by providing a solution for acquiring data from sensors for heating and air-conditioning, lighting controls, access controls or other building automation."

Analysis | Fairness is hard to find when it comes to sports doping suspensions.
Consider javelin thrower Jarrod Bannister, who was suspended for 20 months last year for failing to attend an out-of-competition drugs test. He was "caught out" when testers went to his hotel looking for him, only for reception to be unable to find him.
To save money for Athletics Australia, he was sharing a room not booked in his name.
Cronulla players, however, have effectively been hit with three-month bans after agreeing to a deal with the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority on Friday. There are also reports Essendon AFL players may be offered six-month bans.
The 18-month ASADA probe into AFL and NRL has been marked by deals made, mostly behind the scenes.
It is ironic then, despite protests about the treatment of players, that they will escape lesser bans than those in other sports.

— Monday's RAW saw the return of the Ric Flair to WWE, who presented the "Superstar of the Year" Slammy Award and encountered CM Punk, Paul Heyman and The Shield. The legendary grappler's former TNA Wrestling colleagues, Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff, weighed in on his return via Twitter.
"Great to see Flair doing his thing again," Hogan wrote shortly after his RAW appearance.
Bischoff noted that he is "Very happy for Ric Flair."
— ShopTNA.com has released an autographed Bound For Glory framed and matted poster. Featuring autographs from Sting, Kurt Angle, James Storm, Austin Aries, Bobby Roode, AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy and Chavo Guerrero.
Flair is better suited for the WWE.
He is really. I loved wcw and flair but he just didn't do it for me in tna . Hope he makes enough cash to get out of tax trouble .
I remember when Flair came to TNA & all the WWE fans were laughing at another old man in the ring. So what does Flair do the first night back in WWE? He ends up in the ring & the crowd popped! Bunch of hypocrites the WWE fans are.
I agree 100%, its ok for the WWE but not TNA. I can't stand hypocrites.
It's ok for WWE….because TNA sucks….period…it has a cult following….like all you internet trolls….
Yet here you are on this website.
What are you, 8 or something? That's the most immature comment I've ever read here – and that says a lot!
Personally, I love Flair. He's a once-in-a-lifetime character. Doesn't matter what Colorado the ropes are – Flair steals the show. WOOOO!

From Congregaton Kol Ami in White Plains:
The Hanukah lights will burn with a very powerful and special glow at Congregation Kol Ami this year as the synagogue, located in White Plains, NY, celebrates the completion of its newly renovated sanctuary. The sanctuary will be dedicated at a Shabbat service on the seventh night of Hanukah, Friday, December 14th at 6:15 pm.
"We are incredibly excited about the re-visioning of our new sanctuary. This marks a great day in the history of our dynamic congregation, where we will worship in a magnificent newly renovated space." said Andrea Seiden of Scarsdale, the chairperson of the capital campaign.
"Our goal was to provide a warm, welcoming and functional environment that respects our past and embraces our future. We succeeded in creating a worship space that is both visually and spiritually beautiful." Said Shira Milgrom, Co-Rabbi of Kol Ami with Rabbi Tom Wiener .
The sanctuary has a number of innovative and state-of-the-art features. The soaring 30 foot ceiling gives the space an open, modern and expansive feel. The Bimah or platform area was lowered for more inclusive and embracing services which will also accommodate members and guests with special needs. The side windows were replaced with a clear curtain wall of glass to connect the outside and the inside.
The stained glass windows from the original sanctuary on Sterling Avenue in White Plains have been included in the design blending the history of the old and new. Of great use are the 300 movable chairs, which allow for flexibility so that configurations can change depending on the programs, practices and life cycle events of that day.
Kol Ami's capital campaign, called "L'dor Va'Dor" , means from generation to generation. It has raised over 4 million dollars. The sanctuary was the first phase of a project to modernize the Kol Ami campus and infrastructure. The firm of Levin/Brown & Associates, Inc. of Owings Mills, Maryland was retained as architects for the project. The construction company for the project was Kohl Construction Group who have extensive experience in religious projects in the tri-state area. Maura Smolover of Arts in Architecture, was commissioned to design the Torah Ark and the Ner Tamid, the most sacred aspect of the sanctuary space.
Congregation Kol Ami, has been serving the area reform Jewish community since 1923. The congregation, which has grown to over 800 families, offers a unique blend of Jewish worship with an array of programs both spiritually uplifting and educational. The main building includes not only the new sanctuary but also cross functional spaces for meetings and receptions; a nursery school and a Hebrew school. There is an alternate sanctuary, the Schulman Chapel in the Woods as well .
"I am deeply proud and thrilled to be a member of Congregation Kol Ami. This new sanctuary space will enhance all aspects of our current Temple life and for the future generations to come." said David Lee of Scarsdale.
For more information, please contact Janet Hershey, Director of Membership and Development at Congregation Kol Ami at 914.949-4717 ext 115 or janethershey@nykolami.

And what are you doing trolling on sites ready to jump on someone's thread when they make a comment about your employer? Shouldn't you be somewhere scanning documents and adding to the collection instead of trying to drum up customers on forums???? Just saying.

I can relate, though I have different symptoms which are sometimes mild/nonexistent and sometimes more severe. It depends on the weather [entirely serious statement here].

If we have the "community agreement" of no cats in the space, I don't see why we shouldn't extend the same practice for dogs and other animals if we have members with allergies (FUN FACT: I'm allergic to pretty much every bird and mammal on this sometimes-green Earth, so I've got them all covered for y'all, you're welcome).

I would miss seeing Shiloh and Ella around, and having them clean up the floor after I eat a burrito! But, maybe this would cut down the number of times I need Albuterol when I'm in the space. :)

I'd be fine with discussing this at a meeting. -- I'm mostly interested in people who want to argue that we should allow all dogs, despite guests' and members' allergies, because otherwise I'm just singing to the choir.

CLEANING the space and the air now that it's a den of allergens is another topic entirely, but it has to be done in conjunction with barring non-service pets from the space, otherwise we won't REALLY have solved the problem.

P.S.
I know that everyone is going to want to chime into this thread with "ZOMG SHEEPDOG", but there are more people with dogs here lately than the one lady who brings in her sheepdog, so we should really address this as "all animals", not just specific pets.

Hi !
I am currently trying to install M0n0wall CDROM version.
I've done a couple of tests using an Intel Pro 100 Server adapter as well as a 3C905C adapter, and I
couldn't get it working ...
I can properly assign adapters to their corresponding interface (LAN or WAN), and give the LAN
adapter an IP address ... but then, even after a reboot, I cannot ping or telnet (TCP 80) this
address ...
Does any of you have an idea to solve that problem ??
Thanks a lot in advance !

Top five movies ... IN SPAAAAACE
Though the Space Race has long since come and gone, people are still fascinated by what lies beyond the sky. We gaze in wonder at the stars, admire beautiful photos of distant planets and galaxies, and dream up alien creatures (and hope they're of the "E.T." variety). It's amazing that a vacuum of empty space can so vividly fill our imaginations.
Of course, movies play a huge role in creating memorable images of space. Now, Ridley Scott's "Prometheus," the mysterious "Alien" semi-prequel, hopes to enter the pantheon of iconic intergalactic adventures, which includes these five classics.
"2001: A Space Odyssey"
To spend only a small paragraph talking about Stanley Kubrick's iconic space epic seems almost like an insult. What do I talk about? Should I talk time to discuss the strangely hypnotic opening third featuring ape-men discovering an ominous black monolith, and perhaps the first signs of evolution? Or perhaps the famous middle section, the haunting astronaut thriller that would still be considered intelligent beyond its years if it was released tomorrow? The fact that "2001: A Space Odyssey" offers all of those elements (and I haven't even mentioned HAL, the space baby or the legendary music) should speak to how incredible this masterpiece is.
Popping in a DVD of Ridley Scott's "Alien" today, it's kind of amazing to think that the film was made over 30 years ago. The sets still look grandiose, especially the discovery of a dead alien in a massive chair, and H.R. Giger's design of the title character is easily one of the most memorable and terrifying images of extraterrestrial life. But as audiences learned in "Snow White and the Huntsman," looking good can only get a movie so far. Luckily, "Alien" is still packed with surprises, enduring characters and truly horrifying sequences. Three words: John Hurt chestburster. It's scenes like those that explain why people are so excited about Scott's return to the series.
"Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back"
I would love to put all three of the original films in this countdown. The classic sci-fi trilogy, combined with "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and Legos, defined my childhood. Unfortunately, this is a top five article, so I'll have to choose my favorite of the three, "The Empire Strikes Back." The movie is just packed with unforgettable moments and visuals, such as the opening battle on Hoth and the dark, twist-filled ending. Just like "Alien," the movie was made before CGI became the default setting for filmmakers, so the effects look and move authentically. It's certainly more real than anything in the new trilogy, but then again, the only thing real in Episodes I through III was the audience's disappointment.
"Apollo 13"
There comes a time in every child's life when he wants to be an astronaut. Then he sees 1995's "Apollo 13" and decides that maybe the heroic profession is just a bit too terrifyingly stressful for him. Director Ron Howard, who would later win Best Director and Best Picture for "A Beautiful Mind, terrifically balances the emotional elements of the story and creates a great tribute to the men who dangerously journeyed where most never will. Their story didn't need slimy aliens or a soullessly maniacal computer; space itself is a breathtaking horror. The only thing more horrifying? The fact that, less than a decade later, Howard directed "The Dilemma," a movie that humanity has completely forgotten.
In my last countdown article, I stated that any movie starring David Bowie is a cinematic classic. But what about a movie directed by his son? There may not be much to go on yet (his only other film is last year's "Source Code"), but Duncan Jones' 2009 debut "Moon" is certainly a sign of good things to come. The sci-fi existential indie drama stars Sam Rockwell as the lone worker on a lunar facility who, on a buggy trip, discovers an injured co-worker: himself. "Moon" isn't flawless, but it is an engrossing movie that, like it or not, you should see to stay relevant in film discussions. Plus, it was made for less than one-tenth of what it cost George Lucas to ruin "Star Wars."
