Cadillac Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello I will help you with your question,
Just to make sure we are talking about the same part look at this diagram. There are no fuel lines that I am aware of to change this valve but it might be possible to install it backwards so check the orientation of the original.
The nut for the lines is a 10 mm nut but that is on the front of the engine I believe
Here is the service information to change the valve
Removal Procedure
Installation Procedure
You can try cleaning the valve first, its worth a shot
EGR Valve Cleaning Whenever the EGR valve is removed, or during regularly scheduled EGR system maintenance, the EGR system should be inspected and cleaned. This will insure that the EGR system will function properly under all operating conditions. Proper EGR system service consists of the five steps listed below:Caution: When removing components for cleaning, avoid breathing fumes and swallowing EGR exhaust deposits as bodily injury may result.EGR System Service
The best part of that is to test the pintle for free movement
Look over this information and let me know if you have further questions about this
Thank you

Your taxes at work
Some snippets from the Tourism Industry Regional Fund website
The Australian Government is committed to maximising tourism's net economic contribution to the Australian economy
and to fostering an industry that promotes the principles of environmental responsibility and sustainable development.
"On 15 March 2013, the Minister for Tourism, Martin Ferguson announced that 65 applicants were successful in the
first round of the TIRF (Tourism Industry Regional Fund) Grants Program. The Australian Government will offer
these projects a total of $13.1 million in funding, which will leverage a combined investment value of over $141 million."
A second round is expected to be announced in the second half of 2013.
The competitive merit-based TIRF Grants Program offers grants from $50,000–$250,000 (GST exclusive) on a matched
dollar-for-dollar funding basis. A major focus of the program is to improve the quality of accommodation and
attractions in regional areas and encourage innovative projects to attract interstate and international visitors
and extend their length of stay.
Note: Emphasis and underlining added by RvVoice
What a wonderful initiative by our Federal Government. It's great to see that they want to invest our taxes in projects that
will attract interstate and international visitors to regional areas. Having said that you would think that some of the grants
would be applied to Regional Shires and Councils, local community groups and other organisations that are desparately
trying to establish low cost no frills accomodation options for tourists (international, interstate or local visitors).
Not so - Grants for the fat cats so that they can build their commercial interests using our taxes.
I was "gobsmacked" when I saw who got grants and how they were going to spend it. Now bear in mind it was based on a
dollar for dollar input basis so the organisation that got the money had to input an equivalent amount for the project.
There is a complete list on the TIRF website of how much was handed
out and what it is going to be spent on. Of the 65 applicants 16 appear to be from local government and/or non
profit organisations with the remaining 49 from commercial interests.
Click here to see some of the successful applicants.
So there you have it $1,583,243 of your taxes being handed out to 7 caravan parks to help develop their businesses. I suppose
they were "doing it tough" and these improvements will help to attract the travelling RV tourists to come and stay in their upgraded
deluxe accomodation , have a play in their water complexes and a bounce on the new jumping pillow. You might also want
use the multi-purpose conference facility at the BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort in Airlie Beach.
Please have a look at the other successful applicants and ask the question
"Will these projects encourage and attract the normal RV tourist to these regional communities."
As mentioned previously Regional Shires and Councils, local community groups and other organisations around the country are
desperately trying to establish low cost no frills accomodation options for tourists (international, interstate or local visitors).
Basic infrastructure like dump points, access to potable water and rest and camping areas are critical to improving the Regional
touring experience of tourists in RV's and yet obtaining funding for these community assets is like pulling teeth.
In this lucky country where we are told to expect up to ten years of Federal deficits and we will all need to tighten our belts it
seems our federal representatives think that grants to the fat cats will encourage us all to take a luxury holiday rather
than a budget low cost touring option.
Write a letter to your local media , ask your local member what they think of these "handouts"
and please pass this information on to every one you know who enjoys the RV lifestyle without
the need for exotic playgrounds and conference centres.

A YORK regenerative medical device company is targeting the fast-growing market for soft-tissue knee repairs after receiving positive results in pre-clinical studies.
Clinical studies can now begin in Europe following a regulatory review of Tissue Regenix's patented dCell formula of "washing" the DNA from animal tissues to enable them to form a scaffold which can be used in human transplants.
The pre-clinical study indicated the device was safe with no adverse or inflammatory responses, and there were signs of cells starting to integrate the scaffold into the existing tissue.
Antony Odell, managing director, said: "This important piece of safety data allows us to continue to move towards the clinical evaluation of the dCELL meniscus, which will be the pivotal study to enable EU regulatory approval so this approach can deliver real benefits to patients."

Four Feet Tall and Rising: A Memoir
by Shorty Rossi
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is the inspiring story of Shorty Rossi, ex-con, pit bull lover and rescuerer, and talent agent for Little People. Shorty accomplishes things that would make a six foot man turn and walk away.
You may know Shorty Rossi as "The Pit Boss". He has had a big impact on Animal Planet, and the world of dogs. In spite of his size and stature, Shorty Rossi is indeed "four feet tall & rising".
As a little person, Luigi "Shorty" Rossi learned that life was going to be very different for him than for that of his peers. He also learned that what didn't kill him made him stronger. Tenacity became Shorty's way.
A turbulent childhood only made Shorty more determined to go for more, try harder, to make the most of what he had but not to settle for it. Shorty took all that was available to him and sought more. Shorty took it upon himself to use his intelligence and wits to do whatever it took to get out of a difficult life.
In youth, Shorty Rossi struggled with many things that we all do: family, peer pressure, and all that is youth. For him it lead to gang situations, legal troubles, and time in prison. Again, it only made the tenacious Shorty more determined to rise above all the difficulties that surrounded him. He knew he was better than that and wanted better out of life.
With so many hard learned lessons behind him, Shorty now knew what and who is important to him. He had found that dog is indeed this man's best friend. Shorty and the Pit Bull had formed a bond. Shorty found a devotion and unconditional love beyond what he had ever known. And he found a purpose.
While Shorty Rossi owns and operates a talent agency for "little people", his number one business is his pit bull dog rescue. It doesn't stop there. In saving Pit Bulls, Shorty is just as determined to educate people on this unique breed of dog.
Personally, I have a deep respect for Luigi "Shorty" Rossi, and for his mission. He has taken a life of personal struggle and turned it into an inspirational story of success, on many levels. He is a man larger than life, with heart and soul.
I may be biased, as I am a fan of Pit Boss, but I loved this book. Shorty has lived an incredible life, and he relates it to the reader in a straightforward, no regrets manner. His story is one of survival, of learning from mistakes, and of giving back. I found it inspiring.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0307985881, Hardcover)Luigi Francis Shorty Rossi, the tough-talking, fedora-wearing star of Animal Planet's hit show Pit Boss, may stand only four feet tall but that hasn't stopped him from living large, becoming a successful businessman and an outspoken advocate for pit bulls, the most misunderstood breed of dog in the world.
A third generation dwarf, ex-gang member, and ex-con, Shorty knows what it's like to be misunderstood and in this candid memoir, he shares his personal story for the first time. No one expected Shorty to live let alone succeed, and yet he has, overcoming every challenge, from an abusive home to the violent streets and gangs of South Central LA, to the notorious cell blocks of Folsom Prison where he was imprisoned for attempted murder.
After 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days behind bars, Shorty gained his freedom and the chance to put his entrepreneurial and negotiation skills to the test. He cut the ribbon on his own business, Shortywood, with three goals: to turn his life around, act as a talent agent for little people and establish and fund charities that advocate for, rescue and place abandoned or abused pit bulls into safe homes. In the process, he became a reality-TV star. Now, with Hercules, his rescued pit bull and newly trained service dog by his side, Shorty continues to save pits from the basements and backyards of breeders and abusers while taking on new and even bigger challenges. And nothing is gonna stand in his way.
Shorty Rossi is four feet tall—and rising.

I Heard so much about this hotel that i beleived i would love it. The only thing I loved is the location of the "HOTEL" I has booked a suite for two nights.The roof was dripping, no hot water, half of the furniture was brokenand no room cleaning or bed sheet changing... I APPRECIATE THE OLD STAFF A LOT BUT IT SHOULD WORK PROPERLY TO BE "SERVED" AND BE APPRECIATED. I even was told that there would be a fireplace in the room but "FAKE ADVERTISEMENT". Draws were not opening, chair was broken, bed was noisy and uncomfortable.Service was terrible. BREAKFAST WAS SO POOR. WE JOINED THE RESTAURANT AT 945, BREAKFAST WAS ENDING AT 1030, BUT NO PLATES WERE LEFT, NO BREAD, NO MILK ETC........ And the last impression was the face of the girl at the reception when we were checking out......SHE DIDN'T EVEN REPLY TO OUR GOODBYE. NOTHING WORTHED THE MONEY WE PAYED.

You heard it here first, in a popular music scene ravaged by auto-tune, EMD and rappers like Desiigner and Chance the Rapper – there's no space for rock'n'roll any more.
The Box used to be a place for drinking, for political discussion and debate, for rock'n'roll and sweat.
It can no longer survive as such an enterprise. We've seen a shift in cultural trends, attitudes, ideas and beliefs – we know that we either have to move with the times drift forever lost, or until we can't afford the rent anymore.
The old saying goes that 'you have to spend money, to make money'. I know business strategy is the last thing the readers of this blog would expect, but we feel that in this case it's a relevant topic of conversation considering the amount of radical changes that we are about to make to your beloved venue.
Things That Will Be Changing
All Staff Will Be Retrained
For a long time, we have relied on the trusty reliability of Rod and his wife to serve the bar at the Box. However, after nearly two decades of service, it has become apparent that Rod's business strategies might have become a little outdated. We are not looking to replace or lose any current staff members though, we understand that our staff are part of the reason why our customers love the Box so much.
The Bar Will Be Refurbished
With the the decor remaining largely the same for the past 30 years, we've decided that it's time for a change of scenery! The Box has been a very dark space, for much of it's time open, and we're looking to change that. By installing large, floor-to-ceiling mirrors as well as brand new furniture – we're hoping to update our look to something a little more modern and spacious. Obviously, The Box will retain it's signature charm, everything will just feel a little…cleaner.
Heritage Graffiti Will Be Immortalised And Covered
So many wonderful memories and moments have been shared on the walls of our hallowed drinking hole, however the quantity of individual graffiti marks have increased and the quality of the artwork has significantly decreased. We would not be so bold as to simply deny the importance of the names and dates scrawled on our walls, so we've hired professional photographers to capture all of them, before they're painted over with anti-graffiti spray paint.
No More Regular Live Rock Music
Although Punk and Rock'n'Roll music have been our bread and butter for the entirety of our time open, there has come a time to face facts. People don't want to watch live music anymore. They would rather download their music illegally or pay a multi-national corporation £120 a year to 'stream' it. The last thing they would want to do is pay a fiver to get into a dingy hole in Glasgow, to watch a tribute act comprised of old men, playing music from a band that all died 15 years ago.
Men's Dress Code: Shoes, Black Trousers, Shirt
This last point has been left until last as we know how divisive it will be. We've decided to introduce a dress code for The Box, for the first time ever. It may be seen as an outdated form of elitism, but we've decided that it's what the venue needs to raise the standard of the clientele and their behaviour. For decades we have been open and for decades we have struggled with drug-use and the violence that follows it.

The benefits of self-employment include autonomy, flexibility and professional fulfillment, but planning maternity leave (or paternity leave for that matter) as a self-employed professional presents additional challenges. According to the National Partnership for Women and Families, 11 percent of employees have access to employer-paid family leave; so self-employed professionals have plenty of company in the search for leave benefits.
Family Medical Leave Act
Although 89 percent of workers do not have access to paid leave, an employee's job may be protected under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), while a self-employed professional's business is not guaranteed. FMLA protection is extended to those who have worked for a large company (50 or more employees) for 12 months. Employees do not need to be full-time workers but they must have worked at least 1,250 hours in the year leading up to the leave to be eligible. Those eligible for FMLA may receive up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for a variety of reasons, including the birth or adoption of a child, during a 12-month period.
Create Your Own Leave
In the absence of a clearly defined FMLA plan, the most effective and reliable way to take maternity leave is to create it. Develop a clear plan that outlines the amount of time you plan to be on leave and how your business – both routine work and emergency situations – will continue in your absence. Be prepared to delegate and engage a savvy substitute or a competent assistant during your last trimester so labor does not catch your clients or business by surprise. Solicit extra engagements in the months leading up to delivery and bank the additional fees to create a fund to support living expenses during maternity leave.
Support from "Employers"
By performing work for certain companies, an independent contractor may be eligible for some benefits normally only reserved for employees. Investigate the policies of major clients (especially larger clients with family-friendly benefits) to determine eligibility. Access to benefits like paid sick days or disability insurance can help pay for a nonworking maternity leave.
Disability Insurance
Short-term disability coverage may be available to provide financial support during maternity leave. Policies may be purchased directly from an insurer through some states, including California, New York and New Jersey, or through an organized union. Read the insurance policies and eligibility requirements carefully and make sure the policy includes both pregnancy and postpartum coverage.

Feature Article of Tuesday, 13 November 2012
Columnist: S.O.N
"For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." [Genesis 2:24]
Marriage in itself can sometimes be very straining; therefore, after a stressful day at the office, the last person you would wish to talk to about how the day has been should absolutely not be a spouse who doubles as your political opponent; especially when politics filled the better part of the airwaves during the day.
Such is gradually becoming the case of many Ghanaian couples. Due to education and civilisation, Ghanaians have become more socially cohesive overlooking their ethnic and tribal differences even in the context of marriage. As much as I hate to admit, politics in Ghana has been gravely influenced by tribal motivations virtually driving the course of every events and activity.
This is the story of Rex and Rita, a beautiful couple friends of mine affectionately called the 'Rs'.
Rex and Rita come from different parts of the country and the circumstances that brought them together was neither extraordinary nor love at first sight; but after a few dates together, they had become very good friends. A year into their relationship Rita had gained exclusive access into the family of Rex and says she discovered how loyal they were to a particular political party with one of his brothers virtually 'eating', 'sleeping' and 'dreaming' politics.
Coming from a different part of the country and the niece of a Member of Parliament, Rita on the other hand was politically aligned as well.
Rita says on few occasions, she witnessed a severe criticism of a political party whiles visiting Rex and family which she felt pretty uncomfortable because it was her favourite.
Rex and Rita tied the knot against all odds about three years ago and have since had an absolutely great life together. Although they are both matured adults who can manage their political differences, there are occasional episodes of intense debates bordered around their political affiliations. 'We sometimes argue when scandals rock a member of the two major parties and sometimes the debate become so heated that we choose to quit to prevent it from spinning into something else, yet nobody concedes defeat', she says.
The IEA Presidential encounter nights and subsequent Presidential Debates also stirred up the political rivalry between this couple. Rex says Rita acted like nothing was happening that night, but at her candidate's encounter she got so busy and stayed glued to the television without even noticing her husband's arrival from work just to make sure she never missed any part of the interaction. After each of the encounters, they would debate the issues out and grade the candidates but without anybody succeeding in attempts to lure the other to their side, life goes back to normal as husband and wife.
Their domestic assistant – Takyi, who will be voting for the first time tells me he is also caught up in the rivalry and with barely three weeks to elections, he is yet to decide which of his guardians' candidate to vote for. "I just wish I could please both of them", he says.
It looks as if being political rivals alone is not enough for the 'Rs'. A great sport such as football that could otherwise be a medium to unite people let alone married couples can only achieve this between Rex and Rita when it is a national team on the pitch.
Whiles Rex is an officially registered supporter of one of the top football clubs in the country, his 'better-half' remains a loyal fan of his club's arch rival. They occasionally clash as well, either at home or at the stadium when their two favourite teams meet each other.
In the English Premiership, Rex says he could die for Arsenal at any day whiles Rita will support any other club but Arsenal. Her policy is to throw her weight behind any team that plays Arsenal. And when Arsenal loses to that team, she rather celebrates her husband's loss instead of celebrating the victory of her so called-side; clearly defining her motives.
Rita has realized after thorough assessment that what matters most is not which party he belongs but a leader who is focused on improving the lives of the people. I believe many Ghanaian voters hold the same opinion.
As we count down to Dec 7, Rita has disclosed to me that she intends hiding her husband's car key to prevent him from going to vote as all attempts to woo him to her party has failed. This is awfully ridiculous because when someone makes up his mind on something; nobody can stop him. Rex will certainly find other means of going to vote on that day.
After careful observation of the lives of Rex and Rita, I cannot help but wonder how a couple may well be so politically and to some extent, socially divided and yet so much united in spirit and love.
Like this couple, several homes experience similar situations. While some manage it well, others unfortunately do not do so well.
It is definitely possible for couples with different political association to have a blissful and successful marriage if they choose to put peace and love above any other thing.

It's simple, and free.
A common legal principle provides that where the underlying circumstances of a contract have so changed in a way neither party could foresee, it may excuse performance under that contract. The EU has foreseen this problem and has issues a regulation which provides "the introduction of the euro shall not have the effect of altering any term of a legal instrument or discharging or excusing performance under any legal instrument, nor give a party the right unilaterally to alter or terminate such an instrument." (Council Regulation No. 1103/97) This is fine if the agreement is governed by EU law but not so if it is governed by the law of another country. Thus, a number of states within the U.S. have passed similar provisions including New York, California, Illinois, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
Goods sold in the EU vary in price from country to country. For instance, the price of a bottle of cola varies by 110% from highest to lowest and an automobile by 20%. Although it may not be worth the time and effort to travel to buy cola, a 20% difference in the price of an automobile is a significant sum. Also, there are arbitrageurs who are willing to buy in low price markets and sell in high price markets. These price variations will became much more readily apparent when expressed in a single currency. It will become much more difficult to price goods differently in different parts of Zone euro.
The euro will eliminate the costs of currency exchange within Zone euro as well as currency exchange risks within the zone. It does not eliminate currency exchange risk outside of Zone euro. The euro has declined in value against the dollar since its introduction this year. Ultimately, however, it should tend towards greater stability than individual national currencies. Because of increased transparency in credit costs, the conversion to the euro should increase competition in the the financial services sector making it cheaper to borrow money.

Can working during treatment be harmful?
- Question from Kona: My wife has breast cancer metastasis. She is currently receiving her second round of radiation therapy and will probably soon receive her third round of chemotherapy. Through all this, she still insists on working full-time, calling in sick on only the worst days. Could she be doing herself harm working during treatment?
- Answers - Ruth Oratz, M.D., F.A.C.P. It's unlikely that working during treatment could be causing her harm if she's not experiencing physical discomfort or other symptoms. If her energy level is adequate and she's able to work, I would encourage her to continue working for many reasons. It's important to remain physically active. Psychologically and mentally, work helps us remain engaged and productive. However, if your wife feels that work is somehow contributing to her feeling worse, again there might be accommodation with respect to type of work, the number of hours she's working, the number of days a week she's working etc. that she could address with her employer. And she should discuss with her doctor the specific side effects she can expect from treatment and how to incorporate her work and treatment schedules together into a productive program for her. I encourage people to work if they're up to it.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Working During Treatment featured Barbara Hoffman, J.D., Irene Card, and moderator Ruth Oratz, M.D., F.A.C.P. answering your questions about the legal, financial, physical, and emotional aspects of working during breast cancer treatment.
Editor's Note: This conference took place in September 2007.
The materials presented in these conferences do not necessarily reflect the views of Breastcancer.org. A qualified healthcare professional should be consulted before using any therapeutic product or regimen discussed.

Durban - Controversy is brewing around the Springbok rugby squad with Cosatu calling the make-up of the team a "white boys club", who were "over-represented by white players even though there are many great black players in the squad".
He said the "arrogance of the white boys club" is evident in the fact that veteran lock, Victor Matfield wore an "old South African riot squad skull cap" during the matches against Scotland and Wales.
In a statement, Cosatu Western Cape secretary, Tony Ehrenreich called for Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula to intervene "more decisively" in rugby as the sports administrators were dragging their feet in transforming the squad.
"The old boys club in rugby still control things in the same way they always have and they manage their public relations to reinforce this," Ehrenreich said.
"The coach (Heyneke Meyer) is always presented as now fixing the problems that Pieter de Villiers caused, to undermine the latter, yet we are bringing back old players when there are existing new ones around. The team on the field is still over-represented by white players, even though there are many great black players in the squad.
Speaking on Thursday, CEO of SA Rugby, Oregan Hoskins said he was in Antanarivo in Madagascar when contacted by the Daily News for comment.
He said he was unaware "of what was going on".
When told by the Daily News of Cosatu's statement he said: "I am not going to comment. You are telling me stuff for the first time".
Asked if he thought Matfield's head gear was appropriate, he said," I am not going to comment. I am in Antananarivo (Madagascar) for Rugby World Cup qualifiers to determine which African country is going to go through to the World Cup next year. I need to find out from organisation what is happening".
In an SMS to the Daily News, Springbok Media Manager, De Jongh Borchardt said they would not be responding to Cosatu's statement.
The camouflaged "riot squad skull cap" is the same head gear the veteran lock uses during the Blue Bulls Super 15 campaign as it matched the teams camouflage jersey.
Ehrenreich said that during last Saturday match against Scotland in which the Boks won 55-6 black players were only brought on in the last five minutes, "even though the Springboks are comfortably ahead".
"This is because the coach is scared that the black players will outshine the white players, if they get lots of game time.
"Even when players go off for injury, they are rushed back on because the black replacements may shine," he said.
Ehrenreich said it was time to take decisive steps in respect of rugby and to stop pandering to the old boys club.
"The powers in the game are money and the big sponsors who are able to put money in the game because of the tax breaks that National Government gives them. Government should also put their foot down in respect of the DSTV stranglehold in relation to the coverage of many aspects of South African Rugby. There is a need for a comprehensive new deal in Rugby and most sports codes and Government must act decisively in respect of advancing it and not pander to the white establishment.
"Political leadership must act more decisively in advancing a more representative team in all sporting codes, as they have all the tools for achieving this at their disposal," he said.

Emsworth Square - PHOTOGRAPHER COMMENT
I took this photo of St. Peter's Square in the centre of Emsworth on a deserted rainy day in June. Emsworth is a pretty little fishing village on the shores of Chichester Harbour. Once a small Saxon village, it became a busy port in the 18th and 19th centuries but more recently it has become known for its yacht harbour and as the home of the novelist P.G.Woodhouse.

Panorama of St Peter's Square, a quaint Saxon town on the south coast of England.
This English Channel town at the heart of British maritime history is set back in a sea inlet. The two most important trades in the town were oyster fishing - and brewing! Sailors did drink a lot of beer in the 30 pubs around the harbour in the 19th century.
Now a quiet seaside town with a harbour for small pleasure craft, yachts and sailboats, this little town is a great place to spend a weekend by the sea and explore the surrounding towns, Portsmouth, Southampton, Gosport, Chicester and the Isle of Wight.
East of Portsmouth, off the Havant Bypass road (A27). Take the M27 motorway east of Southampton.

Belgian WafflesTo lighten waffles, use less fat in the batter, and turn to a flavorful substitute (like low-fat buttermilk). Use a nonstick waffle iron so you can get away with just a little canola cooking spray. You can make these with reduced-fat Bisquick® and substitute low-fat buttermilk for the milk called for in the package directions (you may have to add a bit more because buttermilk is thicker than regular milk). Serve with cut fresh fruit and a dollop of light whipped topping (not included in nutritional analysis).

College Station TX (SPX) Aug 16, 2012
If a hurricane's path carries it over large areas of fresh water, it will potentially intensify 50 percent faster than those that do not pass over such regions, meaning it has greater potential to become a stronger storm and be more devastating, according to a study co-written by a group of researchers at Texas A and M University.
Ping Chang, professor of oceanography and atmospheric sciences and director of the Texas Center for Climate Studies, along with his former student, Karthik Balaguru, now at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, are the lead authors of a paper in the current issue of PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences).
Their findings could benefit weather experts as they try to predict the path and strength of a hurricane, noting that about 60 percent of the world's population resides in areas that are prone to hurricanes or cyclones.
Chang and Balaguru and their colleagues examined Tropical Cyclones for the decade 1998-2007, which includes about 587 storms, paying particular attention to Hurricane Omar. Omar was a Category 4 hurricane that formed in 2008 and eventually caused about $80 million in damages in the south Caribbean area.
They analyzed data from the oceanic region under the storm, including the salt and temperature structure of the water and other factors that played a part in the storm's intensity.
"We tested how the intensity of the storm and others increased over a 36-hour period," Chang explains.
"We were looking for indications that the storm increased in intensity or weakened and compared it to other storms. This is near where the Amazon and Orinoco Rivers flow into the Atlantic Ocean, and there are immense amounts of freshwater in the region. We found that as a storm enters an area of freshwater, it can intensify 50 percent faster on average over a period of 36 hours when compared to storms that do not pass over such regions."
The researchers believe their results could help in predicting a hurricane's strength as it nears large river systems that flow into oceans, such as the Amazon in the Atlantic, the Ganges in the Indian Ocean or even the Mississippi River into the Gulf of Mexico.
Hurricanes - called typhoons in the Pacific region and cyclones in the Indian region - are some of the most devastating natural hazards on Earth. A single storm, Cyclone Nargis in 2008, killed more than 138,000 people in Burma and caused $10 billion in damages.
"If we want to improve the accuracy of hurricane forecasting, we need to have a better understanding of not only the temperature, but also the salinity structure of the oceanic region under the storm," Chang notes.
"If we know a hurricane's likely path, we can project if it might become stronger when nearing freshwater regions. This is another tool to help us understand how a storm can intensify."

Management of Anal Cancer in 2010 Part 1: Overview, Screening, and Diagnosis
Management of Anal Cancer in 2010 Part 1: Overview, Screening, and Diagnosis
Although anal cancer is a rare disease, its incidence is increasing in men and women worldwide. The most important risk factors are behaviors that predispose individuals to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection or immunosuppression. Anal cancer is generally preceded by high-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia (HGAIN), which is most prevalent in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive men who have sex with men. There is a general consensus that high-risk individuals may benefit from screening. Meta-analysis suggests that 80% of anal cancers could be avoided by vaccination against HPV 16/18. Nearly half of all patients with anal cancer present with rectal bleeding. Pain or sensation of a rectal mass is experienced in 30% of patients, whereas 20% have no tumor-specific symptoms. According to the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database, 50% of patients with anal cancer have disease localized to the anus, 29% have regional lymph node involvement or direct spread beyond the primary, and 12% have metastatic disease, while 9% have an unknown stage. Clinical staging of anal carcinoma requires a digital rectal exam and a computed tomography scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Suspicious inguinal lymph nodes should be subject to pathologic confirmation by fine-needle aspiration. The 5-year relative survival rates are 80.1% for localized anal cancer, 60.7% for regional disease, and 29.4% for metastatic disease. Part 2 of this two-part review will address the treatment of anal cancer, highlighting studies of chemoradiation.
The treatment of anal squamous cell cancer with definitive chemoradiation is cemented as the gold-standard therapy for localized anal cancer, mainly due to its sphincter-saving and colostomy-sparing potential. Over the course of the past 2 decades, several studies have addressed different chemoradiation regimens in hopes of improving on the standard Nigro protocol of fluorouracil, mitomycin, and radiation. While these studies failed to reveal any superiority of alternative regimens to the Nigro protocol, important conclusions were derived regarding the continuity of radiation as well as the role of induction (pre-chemoradiation) and maintenance chemotherapy (post-chemoradiation) in patients with anal cancer.
Before we continue with a consideration of treatment, some background on anal cancer is in order. Part 1 of this review will provide an overview of anal cancer epidemiology, risk factors, screening, prevention, and diagnosis. Part 2, which will appear in the next issue of ONCOLOGY, will focus on treatment, highlighting the current status of chemoradiation for anal cancer and potential areas for future improvement.
Anal cancer affected an estimated 5,290 patients (2,100 men and 3,190 women), and led to approximately 710 deaths in 2009.[1] Although it is a rare disease, the incidence of anal cancer is increasing in men and women worldwide.[2-6] The incidence rates according to the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database are 1.4 per 100,000 in men and 1.7 per 100,000 in women.[1] Women have a higher incidence rate than men for age groups over 50 years, whereas men dominate for the ages of 20 to 49 years. Over the period 1973 to 2000, black men had the sharpest increase in anal cancer incidence rates, followed by white men, white women, and black women in decreasing order.
The median age at diagnosis of anal cancer ranges from 60 to 65 years. The overall 5-year survival rates for anal cancer are 60% in men and 78% in women, based on SEER data analysis for the modern era of therapy, 1994 to 2000. During the same period, the 5-year overall survival of black men decreased to 28%, presumably due to complicating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.[2]
Risk Factors for Anal Cancer
The risk factors associated with anal cancer are summarized in Table 1.[1-30] The most important risks are behavioral factors that predispose individuals to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection or immunosuppression.
Behavioral Risk Factors
Specific sexual practices have been associated with an increased risk of anal cancer. The risk of anal cancer appears to be the highest among men having sex with men[7-10] (odds ratio [OR] = 17.3; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 8.2–36.1).[9] These risks are increased in the setting of men having sex with men who are HIV-positive (relative risk [RR] = 59.5). It is now recognized that the increased risk of anal cancer in this population is due to the increased HPV infection rate rather than isolated HIV infection.
Risk factors common to both men and women are receptive anal intercourse, lifetime number of sexual partners, cigarette smoking, and a history of genital warts.[9] For women, additional risk factors include history of high-grade vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia, and vulvar cancer or cervical cancer.[7,9,11-14]
Squamous cell cancer of the anal region is similar to that of the uterine cervix, vagina, and vulva,[15] and shares the common association with high-risk HPV infection.[10,12,16-21] While the prevalence of cervical HPV infection in women declines after age 30 years, anal HPV in HIV-negative men who have sex with men (MSM) remains high and constant throughout life.[22,23]
The prevalence of anal HPV infection is greater than cervical HPV infection in women who are HIV-positive or have a high risk of HIV infection.[24-26] In a population of healthy Hawaiian women, anal HPV infection was as common as cervical HPV.[27] In immunocompetent heterosexual men, anogenital and anal HPV infections were documented in 65.4% and 24.8% of patients, respectively.[28,29] History of multiple sexual partners in homosexual or heterosexual individuals or of unprotected anal intercourse were predictive of greater risk of developing anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) and invasive anal cancer.[30]
Several subtypes of HPV are linked to anal cancer and its precursor lesions. HPV 16 has the highest degree of association and, to a lesser extent, types 18, 31, 33, 35 and others have been connected. The prevalence of high-risk HPV is about 85% in patients with squamous cell cancer of the anal canal, depending on the sensitivity of the assay[15,31,32] and the geographic variations.[33] In one series, high-risk HPV was identified in 90% of anal squamous cell carcinomas in women and 63% of such cancers in men.[31] HPV-negative anal cancers were similar to HPV-positive anal cancers in terms of patient age, adjacent dysplasia, ductal differentiation, and prognosis.[34]
Immunosuppression and HIV
Immunosuppression probably impairs the body's ability to clear HPV after sexual exposure.[35-38] Patients undergoing organ transplantation have a 10- to 100-fold risk of anal cancer compared to the general population.[39-44] The rate of high-grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia is higher in HIV-positive patients than HIV-negative patients and is inversely related to the CD4 lymphocyte count.[45,46] However, HIV-related immunosuppression has not been clearly established as an independent risk factor for anal cancer.
Since the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), HIV patients are living longer and consequently, have an increased lifetime risk of developing anal cancer.[47] Although there have been reductions in the incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma and lymphoma, no significant change has been seen in the incidence of anal carcinoma.[48] In a study matching a cancer database to AIDS databases, the relative risk of developing anal cancer among HIV-positive men with a history of homosexual contact was 59.5, while the relative risk for anal cancer was 6.8 in HIV-positive women in comparison to the general population.[49]
Benign lesions in the anal canal such as fistulas or fissures do not appear to predispose to cancer.[30] Similarly, inflammatory bowel disease does not appear to predispose to anal squamous cell cancer.[50,51] A Danish population-based cohort study of 6,334 patients with ulcerative colitis and 2,723 patients with Crohn's disease who were followed for 10 years showed no increased risk of anal cancer.[52]

Harbhajan was fined for a lesser charge of verbal abuse but John Hansen said he could have imposed a different penalty had he been aware of his past record.
In 2001 Harbhajan was fined and banned for attempting to intimidate umpires.
"He can feel himself fortunate that he reaped the benefit of these database and human errors," he said.
Hansen revealed Harbhajan could have received a one-match ban had he known about the event, which occurred in a series against South Africa.
He said he had considered reopening the sentencing process when he was belatedly made aware of the matter, but could not.
"If I had been aware of the serious transgression in November 2001 I would have required more extensive submissions as to the offense in mitigation which could have led to a different penalty," said Hansen.
"Overnight I have given earnest consideration to the Code of Conduct to see if it empowers me to reopen the sentencing process. Regrettably I have concluded that I cannot do so and the penalty imposed by me must stand.
"At the end of the day Mr. Singh can feel himself fortunate that he has reaped the benefit of these database and human errors."
Earlier this month, the India spinner had been found guilty of calling Symonds, Australia's only mixed-race player, a "monkey" during the second Test in Sydney this month.
The charge was downgraded and at the appeal hearing Harbhajan pleaded admitted to using abusive language and was fined half his match fee and is free to play.
Hansen insisted the prospect of India possibly abandoning the tour of Australia if the ruling went against their player did not influence him.
"I have not been persuaded to the necessary level required that the words were said," Hansen wrote in his judgement.
"I need to be sure and if I am left with reasonable uncertainty, then I must find in favour of Mr Singh.
"There was a direct conflict as to whether the word was used.
"There are cultural accent and language differences and it is accepted some of Mr Singh's remarks were in his own language.
"There remains a possibility of a misunderstanding in this heated situation."
Hansen also rejected the suggestion that the Board of Control for Cricket in India and Cricket Australia reached an agreement which he simply sealed with his ruling.
"It is incorrect to suggest that there was some sort of an agreement reached between Australian and Indian cricket authorities that I simply rubber-stamped," said Hansen.
"I also wish to add that while I was aware of the media furore surrounding this matter, no-one has attempted to apply direct pressure to obtain an outcome."

River Empress for Kids
- Pro: Impeccable service, sumptuous cabins and delicious cuisine are hallmarks of the ship
- Con: Limited facilities compared to more modern river ships
- Bottom Line: An outstanding ship, with some of the best service on the water
River Empress for Families
Up until 2015, this ship (and indeed the line) made little or no provision for families; there were no facilities and kids were not really encouraged onboard. All this has changed quite recently, with the line launching its first dedicated Family River Cruise Collection brochure in early 2016, which offers 16 dedicated family friendly itineraries across the fleet. In addition, children between the ages of four and 18 pay half-price.
In theory you can bring kids younger than four onboard, but the ship (and its itineraries) would be best suited for children aged seven years and up.
(Note also, these family friendly itineraries are only on offer in July and August -- peak school holiday times in Europe, and also a Christmas Markets cruise in December.)
The timing of the program is dependent on the ship's itinerary, and will start after breakfast. Depending on the number of children onboard and their ages, they may be split into groups, with age-appropriate activities for each group. Family Hosts brought on for these cruises supervise and coordinate onboard activities for Junior Cruisers (ages 4 to 11) and Young Cruisers (ages 12 to 18).
Onboard activities on offer might include dessert making with the ship's pastry chef, to create ice cream cookies or 'crazy waffling'; a behind-the-scenes tour with the captain, including a tour of the wheelhouse (and help steer the ship); tasting local soft drinks with the resident Soda Sommelier, go on a ship-wide treasure hunt or take part in craft workshops and fun local language classes.
On full family sailings, the Captain's Lounge will be turned over to a dedicated kids room -- The Young Travelers Lounge -- complete with a PlayStation, a wide selection of games, movies, puzzles, kids' books and candy jars. Every family-friendly cruise itinerary also features onboard visits from local children or teens, who introduce guests to the daily life of their culture. If the ship is sailing less than full (or there aren't that many children onboard), one of the cabins will be turned over to a dedicated kids room instead.
The ship also offers a children's menu and early meal times for very young kids. The ship also has 12 interconnecting cabins (eight on the 400 Deck, and four on the 300 Deck), so it's worth requesting those when you book. Cabins do not accommodate more than two people.
Off the ship, the line offers a number of fun family excursions, which might include a visit to a theme park in Franconia, a public swimming pool in Breisach or climbing the Cathedral tower in Strasbourg.
Weary parents can also take advantage of leaving their kids onboard with babysitting while they explore the destination undisturbed. Each night the child receives a special pillow gift from the destinations visited.
It's also worth noting that the the crew are flexible and accommodating, so if you need a babysitter one night, or you need some extra time ashore outside of the regular programming -- just ask.

Tea and Coffee Protect Against Heart Disease?
Drinking several cups of tea or coffee a day appears to protect against heart disease, a 13-year-long study from the Netherlands has found.
It adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting health benefits from the most popular hot drinks.
Those who drank more than six cups of tea a day cut their risk of heart disease by a third, the study of 40,000 people found.
Re: Tea and Coffee Protect Against Heart Disease?
Hi Adamjohn
Welcome to Life Supporters. Glad to see you've jumped straight in with an interesting thread.
I love these studies that people do. I find that if wait around a few months there is bound to be another study that disputes the first one
This particular study is actually from 2010. I am thinking the drinks themselves, pure tea or coffee, may have some benefits (not sure if they are medicinal) but it's the add-in's we have that are not - full fat milk, cream, refined sugars.
Be interesting to see what others think.

MARKET CLOSE: NZ shares rise as Sky TV earnings surprise, paced by Telecom
By Suze Metherell
Feb. 24 (BusinessDesk) – New Zealand stocks rose, led by Sky Network Television, after the nation's pay-TV operator posted earnings that beat estimates. Telecom rebounded from a selloff on Friday when it posted a modest gain in earnings and announced a rebranding strategy.
The NZX 50 Index rose 42.005 points, or about 0.9 percent, to 4969.645. Within the index 21 stocks rose, 19 fell and 10 were unchanged. Turnover was a larger-than-average $179 million and included about $47 million of Telecom stock.
Sky TV jumped 5.7 percent to $6.08, leading the index higher. New Zealand's dominant pay-TV company posted a first-half net profit of $82.1 million on lower programming costs and as more subscribers switched to its premium services.
Telecom rose 3.2 percent to $2.45. The nation's biggest telecommunications provider disappointed investors on Friday after it posted a 2.5 percent gain in first half earnings, announced plans to rebrand as Spark and develop an internet television service to rival Sky TV.
Of New Zealand's top fifty listed companies, nearly half have reported first-half or full-year earnings over the past two weeks.
"Sky TV came out with a positive surprise, which is good, they've had a strong day," said David Price, broker at Forsyth Barr. "It's actually been a familiar sort of thing with this results round - we've seen companies that have disappointed get hammered on the day, and then the following trading day they make up for what they lost the previous day."
Among companies that reported earnings last week, Fletcher Building, New Zealand's biggest listed company, rose 1.2 percent to a three month high $9.87. Auckland International Airport rose 1 percent to $3.735 and Sky City Entertainment Group rose 2.9 percent to $3.91. Online auction site Trade Me Group slipped 0.5 percent to $4.03.
Freightways gained 2.8 percent to $4.70. New Zealand's largest listed courier service reported a 3 percent lift in its first-half earnings and growth in its secure data destruction business.
"Freightways was a positive result, we saw some good volume growth for the first time in a while, and the outlook from them was positive," Price said.
Chorus fell 1.1 percent to $1.42. The telecommunication provider reported a 7.1 percent decline in first-half profit and won't pay an interim dividend as it prepares for regulated price cuts on its copper wires in December.
Xero, the cloud-based accounting software company, rose 0.4 percent to $39.95 and has risen 23 percent this year. Fellow growth stock Wynyard Group lifted 0.4 percent to $2.87. The intelligence software company listed July last year and has more than doubled from its listing price of $1.10.Wynyard today beat its own annual sales forecast while burning through more cash than expected.
Retirement village operator Summerset Group Holdings rose 0.9 percent to $3.33, Heartland New Zealand, the bank formed from the merger of the Canterbury and Southern Cross building societies and Marac Finance slipped 1.1 percent to 90 cents. Guinness Peat Group, which owns industrial thread maker Coats, was unchanged at 67 cents. All three companies report earnings tomorrow.

I hope Ta'amu plays 50% of the game. Gotta know what we have in him
1. CB Marcus Peters Washington 6/190
2. OG Josue Matias Florida State 6-6/320
3. OLB Geneo Grissom Oklahoma 6-4/250
4. DL Ellis McCarthy UCLA 6-5/330
5. TE Jeff Heurman Ohio State 6-5/255
6. FS Adrian Amos Penn State 6/200
7. DT Terry Williams East Carolina 6-1/340
DB Justin Cox Mississippi St. 6-2/190
OLB Davis Tull Chattanooga 6-2/242
Its also interesting that they signed another DT to the active roster. This tells me that Hampton is done as a Steeler after tomorrow.
We've had some good luck with DLinemen from BYU. Hopefully Hebron Fangupo is the next in line. I was reading the BYU coaching staff say he's the strongest player they've ever coached.
He's built a lot like Hampton. Interesting prospect for a NT. Maybe someone's seen him play at USC. He played there 2 years where he got injured. Then he transferred to BYU. Sounds like an interesting kid. Went on his Mormon mission to the Phillippines for 2 years, so he's probably well grounded and a hard worker. Sounds like he could be a hidden gem if he continues with us during the offseason. Might be a nice little project. I'm pretty excited to see if he gets any snaps.
Steelers claim DT Hebron Fangupo
By T.J. Doyle on Dec 29
The Pittsburgh Steelers added former Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Hebron Fangupo via waivers on Saturday in preparation for the Week 17 finale against the Cleveland Browns.
The Pittsburgh Steelers continued making roster moves Saturday in preparation for their Week 17 season finale against the Cleveland Browns, claiming defensive tackle Hebron Fangupo off of waivers from the Seattle Seahawks.
Fangupo played college ball at USC and then BYU, after serving a two-year mission in the Philippines. He was not selected in the 2012 NFL Draft, and was signed by the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent. After being released by the Texans, Fangupo reunited with former college coach Pete Carroll in Seattle as a practice squad player, before finally being promoted to the active roster just over a week ago by the Seahawks.
In addition to claiming Fangupo off waivers, the Steelers signed signed nose tackle Alameda Ta'amu and wide receiver David Gilreath from their practice squad on Friday for Sunday's game against Cleveland. Wide receiver Mike Wallace, tackle Mike Adams, and cornerback Curtis Brown, already ruled out for Sunday's game, were placed on injured reserve Friday.
I liked Loni Fangupo going into the draft last year (I liked Alameda Ta'Amu as well). Hopefully at least one of these guys develop into a player.
Ruthless 2017 Mock Draft:
1.30 ILB Zach Cunningham 6'3" 234 Vanderbilt
2.62 OLB Jordan Willis 6'4" 255 Kansas State
3.94 CB Sidney Jones 6'0" 186 Washington
3.105c DE Tanoh Kpassagnon 6'7" 289 Villanova
4.135 CB Rasul Douglas 6'2" 209 West Virginia
5.173 RB James Conner 6'1" 233 Pittsburgh
6.213 SS Lorenzo Jerome 5'10" 204 St. Francis
7.248 TE Michael Roberts 6'4" 270 Toledo
2015 MNF Executive Champion!
once the Seahawks made Fangupo available, it made sense for us to claim him off waivers to provide some much needed depth and competition at the NT position.

The Asterisk (Greek: ἀστερίσκον, asteriskon; Slavonic: Звездица, Zvezdítsa), or Star-cover (from the Greek αστήρ,astêr, meaning star), is one of the holy vessels used in the Divine Liturgy of the Eastern Orthodox and Greek-Catholic Churches. The asterisk symbolizes the Star of Bethlehem.
An asterisk is a small, folding metal covering which keeps the veil and Aër (larger veil) from disturbing the particles of bread on the diskos (paten).[1]
The asterisk is made of two strips of metal laid one on top of the other and joined in the center by a brad or screw. When the two pieces are turned perpendicular to each other it forms a cross.[2] The ends of the metal pieces are bent down so that it makes a standing frame. Sometimes, in Greek-Catholic usage, a small star will be suspended from the asterisk where the two strips of metal are joined. Among Orthodox, however, the asterisk itself is considered to be the star, so no addition to it is deemed necessary.
As the asterisk is one of the sacred vessels, it is usually kept on the Prothesis (Table of Oblation), where the bread and wine are prepared for the Eucharist, and no one except the priest or deacon should touch it. Often when a chalice and diskos are made, an Asterisk, and a liturgical spoon, and spear will be made to match them.
During the Liturgy of Preparation, after the priest has prepared the bread and the wine, he will cense the asterisk by holding it over the open censer. He then places it on the diskos as he says the words, And a star came and stood over the place where the young child was (Cf. Matthew 2:9).
During a Hierarchical Liturgy (i.e., one at which a bishop presides), just before the Great Entrance, the veils and asterisk will be removed and the bishop will make commemorations for the living and the dead, after which he will replace the asterisk and veils.
After the Sursum Corda, the deacon will lift the asterisk up from the diskos, and strike the diskos with it on four sides, making the sign of the cross, while the priest raises his hands and says, "Singing the triumphant song, shouting, crying aloud, and saying:" at which the choir begins the Sanctus. The deacon kisses the asterisk, folds it, and lays it aside on the Antimension, as the priest begins the Prayer of the Anaphora.
After the Communion of the Faithful, the veils, spear, spoon, and asterisk are placed on the diskos. The priest hands them to the deacon, who carries them back to the Prothesis.
Roman Rite Use
In the Roman Rite, a special twelve-ray asterisk was used in Papal Masses, as a covering for the host on the paten, when it was brought to the Pope at his throne for his Communion. Unlike the Eastern asterisk, which has four rays, the Papal asterisk had twelve rays, each inscribed with the name of an Apostle. Its use has been recently revived by Pope Benedict XVI.[3]

The expert anti-doping body due to sit in judgment of Stephen Dank has been bolstered to a panel of six following two new appointments.
After being embarrassed last week when Fairfax Media exposed that there were four vacancies on the Anti-Doping Rule Violation panel, which had seven members until March 31, Federal sport minister Peter Dutton has formalised three new appointments in recent days.
After Minister Dutton was widely criticised for what appeared to be a case of serious and untimely administrative sloppiness - the ADRVP was unable to meet and consider pending anti-doping matters as scheduled last week - his office informed Fairfax Media late last Friday that Dr Peter Fricker, a former director of the Australian Institute of Sport, was one new appointment to the panel.
Two further appointments have now been formalised, with Paul Carey and Stuart Thorn joining the ADRVP that lost a wealth of experience in one hit last month when Minister Dutton did not renew the tenure of four expert members Tracey Gaudry, Karen Harfield, Andrew Hughes and Michelle Gallen.
It's undertstood that Minister Dutton intends to keep the transformed ADRVP to a body of six.
The most pressing agenda item before the ADRVP is the case of biochemist Dank who has been accused of committing more than 30 anti-doping rule violations by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority.
The ADRVP exists to assess all cases that ASADA pursues and determines whether individuals are entered on the register of findings, which typically triggers the issuing of infraction notices. That process cannot occur without the ADRVP, which made the panel's inability to operate as scheduled last week so alarming given the status of the case against Dank.

VICTORIA'S Office of Police Integrity is still pursuing allegations of misconduct against Sir Ken Jones a year after the former deputy commissioner returned home to Britain.
The OPI's efforts are aimed at standing up the claim - which has never been tested or corroborated in a public forum - that Sir Ken leaked information to journalists.
The OPI used that allegation in May 2011 to begin a highly controversial phone-tapping operation targeting him.
Asked why the OPI was continuing to investigate Sir Ken, a spokesman for the watchdog said: "Increased priority has recently been given to finalising the case in question.'' But the spokesman added: ''The issues are complex and there are several steps yet to be undertaken, including the time-consuming natural justice process.''
Well-placed sources told The Age that senior OPI officials, as well as targeting Sir Ken, had canvassed using the corruption body's powers to investigate staff members of the Victorian ombudsman's office.
The Age understands that certain OPI officials wanted to use its star chamber powers on senior ombudsman officials, but were advised not to do so by other OPI staff.
The OPI officials who wanted ombudsman staff investigated told their colleagues that the ombudsman's office had become too close to Sir Ken.
The Ombudsman, George Brouwer, has been investigating the OPI's pursuit of Sir Ken for over a year in connection with allegations that the watchdog's inquiry into the former deputy police commissioner was commenced on an improper basis or for improper motives.
The director of the OPI, Ron Bonighton, declined to respond when asked whether he had intervened to ensure the OPI's coercive powers were not used on senior ombudsman staff.
However, an OPI spokesman told The Age that ''since taking up the acting director's role [late last year], Mr Bonighton has seen OPI staff committed to performing their tasks properly, fairly and ethically''.
OPI investigators have also recently asked The Age to answer questions relating to their inquiry into Sir Ken. The Age's lawyers told the OPI that newspaper staff could not assist the agency. The Age has previously reported that it is not aware of any evidence that Sir Ken leaked to the media.
The OPI investigation into Sir Ken began in May 2011 after allegations surfaced that he had leaked information to the media.
The information had led to the publication of stories raising questions about the murder of gangland figure Carl Williams in Barwon Prison and other high-profile police scandals.
Sir Ken has previously denied leaking any information.
Serving and former OPI officials have told The Age that there is anger inside the OPI over the decision to commit resources to the Sir Ken Jones inquiry and other media leak inquiries, rather than concentrate on corruption matters.
The OPI phone-tapping operation into Sir Ken began in mid-2011. He was put under surveillance by OPI operatives, and both his telephone and his wife's were tapped.
The OPI has never publicly produced any evidence to show Sir Ken was leaking to the media.
But its inquiry prompted the resignation of a state government political adviser, Tristan Weston, who worked for Police Minister Peter Ryan.
An OPI report in November accused Mr Weston of acting improperly by leaking information to the media in order to undermine then police chief commissioner Simon Overland.
Mr Weston was also accused of supporting Sir Ken.

The headlines are building about the DNC Convention. Islam is all over it. Family Security Matters says that they are expecting over 20,000 Muslims to attend. The Convention has announced there will be "Jumah" prayers for two hours before the Convention. We are told the 'purpose' for this event is to address the issues faced by the Muslim-Americans. Poor Muslims…we make it hard sometimes for them to shred our Constitution, blow up buildings and people. Usually we make it easy, however.
Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch said as bad as it is to have "Jumah at the DNC' it is dramatically worse the hosting of radical Islamic supremacists and jihad groups there. While all the radicals are scheduled to be everywhere, praying, speaking and doing their Sharia moments, the Catholics and Christian folks apparently aren't welcome. Cardinal Dolan, the President of the Conference of Catholic Bishops was denied his request to say a simple blessing prayer at the national convention.
Can you say, Catholic and Christian insult AGAIN?
The Rest…HERE
