WELSH labour productivity is the lowest of any part of the UK, according to new figures.
Third quarter figures released yesterday by the Office for National Statistics, show that in the third quarter of the year Welsh workers were the least productive both in terms of per job and per hours worked.
In terms of output per job Welsh workers produced only 83.3% of the UK average. The output per hour worked was even lower at 81.5% of the UK average.
Economists said the figures suggest that poorer productivity is the key reason why the Welsh economy lags behind other UK nations and regions when it comes to creating wealth.
The regional figures continue to show that across the UK only two regions – London and the South East – scored above the UK average. This was largely as a result of the particularly high figure for London, which in terms of productivity per hour worked scored 39.7% above the UK average.
Professor Brian Morgan of Cardiff Metropolitan University said he was not surprised at Wales' poor performance given issues such as low levels of business investment, poor transport infrastructure, a lack of investment in skills and low levels of innovation – all of which impact on productivity.
"We have the situation in Wales where the public sector is notoriously unproductive and that tends to damp down the overall productivity figures, but even if you broke the figures down we would come out poorly in terms of the private sector," he said.
"There are a number of factors that determine productivity at a regional level and Wales is poorly positioned in terms of infrastructure and skills, with under-investment in those areas."
He said that skills, developed both through education and work-based training, were key to improving output, highlighting the example of Wales' only FTSE 100 company Admiral.
"Admiral's productivity is very high because they have their workforce working really effectively," he said. "They are not working 24 hours a day in drudgery – they have targets and all the support they could want in terms of skills and professional development. It is those things that make productive companies."
Swansea University economist Professor David Blackaby said it was unrealistic to expect Wales to be able to catch up with London in output terms, but said Wales could look at emulating the performance of other regions of the UK.
"You are not going to catch up with London or the South East, but you could be looking at regions with the same historic background and disadvantages of Wales," he said. "The right comparison might be with the North East or Scotland."
However, he warned if Wales really wanted to close the productivity gap the greatest gains in productivity could come from investing in the most productive parts of Wales such as Cardiff, at the expense of poorer areas.
Robert Lloyd Griffiths, director of the IoD in Wales, said the figures showed the need to support businesses in Wales.
"The figures reaffirm that Wales faces challenges and that, as a nation, we need to redouble our efforts to create an environment for business, to promote strong work opportunities, to improve productivity and to raise our game across the board," he said.
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "As all macro-economic tools lie with the UK Government, the Welsh Government has limited influence on productivity. We believe the UK Government's policy based on spending cuts is not working and it needs to do more to stimulate growth.
"However, we are doing all we can to support Welsh businesses through developing infrastructure and the workforce. For example, we are investing more than £90m in our apprenticeship programmes. Evidence shows that on average productivity (and wages) tends to be higher in larger urban areas, and to increase with city size. Our report on City Regions sets out the scope for Wales to exploit the opportunities that would arise from strengthening its city regions. We are also investing in broadband to support Welsh businesses and are committed to ensuring all Welsh properties have access to next-gen broadband by 2015."

Families of Omagh dead given brush off by Home Office chief
Omagh relatives have been given the brush-off by the Government in a hunt for answers about possible intelligence failures before the Real IRA massacre.
A Home Office Minister has told the Omagh Support and Self Help Group that the work of MI5 is "not relevant" to them.
The letter, from Minister of State Tony McNulty, is the latest in a series of refusals to engage with the relatives about their intelligence concerns.
Michael Gallagher, chairman of the Omagh group, said he believes the Government is trying to fudge the issue and keep MI5 "at arm's length" .
The Omagh families have sought answers from MI5 and the Home Secretary ever since the PSNI revealed that the Security Service was warned about a possible dissident attack on Omagh four months before the bombing that killed 29 adults and children, and two unborn babies.
MI5 acted on the warning - passed on by FBI informer David Rupert - and may have prevented an attack. But they did not tell the RUC that Omagh was a target, raising concerns about whether police could have responded differently to the attack.
Mr Gallagher, whose son Aidan died in the 1998 bombing, said the families are concerned about MI5's accountability - especially since the Security Service took over responsibility for national security in Northern Ireland last week.
"We are the first to recognise that there are areas that cannot and should not be talked about," Mr Gallagher said.
"But there has to be some degree of accountability. All we are asking for is a meeting with MI5, so that we can make our own minds up about any deficiencies in the intelligence services with regard to Omagh.
"I have to stress we haven't made our mind up - that's why the director of MI5 should meet the families, to discuss these matters.
"We understand why they have to be secret, but because they are taking over a wider role in Northern Ireland we feel there should be some degree of accountability."
He rejected Mr McNulty's suggestion that MI5's work is "not relevant" to the Omagh families.
Mr Gallagher said: "We're not experts, but we've experienced terrorism. To me, it's saying we're not important, and that's demeaning of the people who've stood up to terrorism and been counted. "
Last year, then director of MI5, Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller, refused to meet the families, and their requests for a meeting with previous Home Secretary John Reid also failed. The Home Office is directly responsible for the Security Service.
When Jacqui Smith became the new Home Secretary this summer, the families tried again for a meeting.
Mr McNulty responded this week, two months later. He offered to meet the families, but says he "will not be able to add substantially" to his comments in the letter.
Mr Gallagher said the Omagh families will "meet and discuss the offer Mr McNulty has kindly made to us, but we tend to think it would be a fudge".
In his letter, Mr McNulty said he appreciates the work undertaken by the Omagh Support and Self Help Group.

Hi everybody
please advise me what option are open to me if CIC decision is not complied by a CIO.
Hi everybody
please advise me what option are open to me if CIC decision is not complied by a CIO.
Can you please clarify if the PIO is not complying with a Decision Order of CIC in your case OR
the PIO is not complying with a CIC citation that you gave ?
to be very specific as this has reference to a latest decision of CIC(OK) dated 21.01.08 about MNIT and disclosing the selection proceedings to be opened...
this decision is available on https://cic.gov.in/CIC-Orders<WBR>/Decision_21012008_25.pdf
it is specifically decision order of CIC (OK) particularly to the CPIO and first appeal authority.
In that case you will have to once again complain to CIC and brief them about the PIO's inaction.
This time you can ask for Penalty under section 20 and even ask for disciplinary action under present rules and regulations.
the second appeal hearing came after nearly six months of wait, so the complait to CIC about the non compliance of decision takes that long or it is listed on prioriry basis compared to all other matters such as-normal complaints and second appeal. please advise
Really no idea as to what is the order of listing as decided by the CIC.
In this case:
Application date: 9 March 2007
PIO asks for Fees: 15 March 2007
Fees Paid: 25 June 2007
PIO reply: 23 August 2007
Complain date: 18 Sep 2007
CIC hearing: 10 January 2008
Decision date: 21 January 2008
Information to be provided before: 15 February 2008
As the CIC website itself shows, there are backlogs for hearings.


text: Centro Ecologico Sian Ka'an, or CESiaK, is an ecotourism and education center located on the Caribbean coast of Mexico. Operating entirely on wind and solar power, the resort has very little impact on its surroundings, and it works hard to maintain the area's natural, wild state. In fact, the center and its cabanas were built on the physical ruins of an old resort so that no new vegetation would have to be cleared, and the property is home to two nurseries that help breed native plants. CESiak has also developed wetland waste treatment systems to recycle gray water, and it collects rain water for guests' water needs. Locals were hired to construct the center, and today CESiak's employees are also natives.

Tokyo, Dec 1 (IANS) Japanese whale research vessels on Tuesday left for an expedition to the Antarctic Ocean under a revised government programme.
The Yushin Maru and Yushin Maru No.2 left the port in Shimonoseki city in Yamaguchi Prefecture, public broadcaster NHK reported.
The revised programme calls for hauling up only minke whales and reducing catches to 333, or one-third the previous number. The population of this species is large and Japan is aiming to commercialise minke whaling — hunting of whales primarily for meat, oil, blubber, and scientific research — in the future.
The government announced this plan last month after the International Court of Justice ordered Japan in March 2014 to halt its whaling activities.
They are expected to conduct their activities in the Antarctic Ocean from late December to March 2016.
Intense protests are expected from anti-whaling groups, as this will be the first time whales are caught by Japan since the International Court ruling.
However, activists have deemed the programme inhumane and unsustainable.
Australia and New Zealand have issued statements criticising Japan. Anti-whaling group Sea Shepherd has warned Japan of further obstruction.

A father and son from Genesee County have pleaded guilty in an investigation of welding work on Tomahawk missiles.
Dennis Frederick and son Brian Frederick acknowledged they lied to the government about their company's work on parts of the missile. They appeared Wednesday in Flint federal court.
Precision Metal Spinning in Fenton had a contract to weld seams on the outer wall assembly of missile engines. But it had difficulty meeting specifications and instead hired another company to do the job.
Cracks were discovered in 2011 by Williams International, the company supplying engines to the main missile contractor.
The government is recommending 18-month prison sentences for the Fredericks when they return to court on Sept. 3.

Panelboard certified as touch-safe
The ProLine Panelboard by ABB has been rated touch-safe per IP20 standards. The rating assures that an operator is isolated from hazardous or dangerous materials during operations and maintenance.
The ProLine Panelboard from ABB has been certified by Certifi-Group as touch-safe per IP20 standards. The comprehensive testing evaluated the panelboard for protection against solid foreign objects and hazardous parts. The IP20 rating assures that a probe the approximate size of a finger is not able to make contact with any hazardous, energized parts. ProLine Panelboard completely isolates the operator during installation and maintenance, eliminating the chance of human exposure to any energized components. The ProLine product provides a valuable feature to end users demanding the safest possible electrical components to protect workers from shock, arc-flash and arc-blast hazards while doing electrical installation and maintenance work.
Traditional US panelboards feature an open architecture with the bus bar structure and breaker hardware void of any insulating material, exposing operators to "live" parts when servicing and installing. Such systems require the operator to manually secure the breaker with a screw directly on the open chassis bus bar.
The ProLine bus bar is fully covered and the interior is encased in resin for additional safety; and breaker connections are made in "wells" that prevent any contact with live parts, while also containing any arcs that may occur. ABB's system features a breaker screw that mechanically secures the breaker with a connection that is not connected to the bus bar.
In addition to the safety design, ProLine reduces the risk of arc flash because branch and main breakers are selectively coordinated and current-limited. This allows for quick clearing of faults which reduces the amount of energy let-through (I2T) during a fault event. Less energy being let through means reduced risk of shock and reduced risk of fire.
ProLine Panelboard is suited for industrial and commercial applications like critical power, data centers, cloud computing, banking, insurance, and medical.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Looking through your work I'd say that this is your best piece although you could have spent more time on the background as it looks a little plain. Also the left leg (his left) of the character seems a bit too sketchy at the top. Other then that it's all good. They getting more up of this quality.
Yeah, most of my pictures just start as sketches so they usually end up pretty sketchy. I wasn't planning on submitting this but it was suggested that I do. This was mainly a lighting test so the background was a little last-minute. Thanks for the review! :)

SEVEN lifestyle choices could prevent three million Alzheimer's cases worldwide, experts have claimed.
These are quitting smoking, increasing physical activity, enhancing mental activity, controlling blood pressure and diabetes and managing obesity and depression.
Globally, an estimated 33.9 million people have Alzheimer's and the number is expected to triple over the next 40 years.
Study author Dr Deborah Barnes, of California University, said: "Given the current absence of disease-modifying treatments, as well as increasing awareness that symptoms develop over many years or even decades, there has been growing interest in identification of effective strategies for prevention of AD.
"Studies have identified a wide range of potentially modifiable risk factors for AD and dementia."
Her team predict low educational attainment contributes to the largest proportion - 19 per cent, or 6.5 million - of AD cases worldwide and smoking to the second highest number -14 per cent or 4.7 million.
Physical inactivity was next, contributing 13 per cent, or 4.3 million, of AD cases worldwide.
Dr Barnes said: "What really mattered was how common the risk factors were in the population.
"In the USA, about a third of the population is sedentary, so a large number of Alzheimer's cases are potentially attributable to physical inactivity.
"Worldwide, low education was more important because so many people throughout the world are illiterate or are not educated beyond elementary school.
"Smoking also contributed to a large percentage of cases because it is unfortunately still really common."
Improving health by addressing the seven lifestyle choices "could have a dramatic effect on AD".
Dr Laura Fratiglioni, of Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University in Sweden, said: "Accumulated evidence from epidemiological research strongly supports a role for lifestyle and cardiovascular risk factors in the pathogenesis and development of dementia."
She called for further large-scale studies to investigate the link between lifestyle and dementia.
In a separate study, also in The Lancet medical journal, experts insisted dementia patients should not be given common antidepressants.
Depression is often diagnosed in people with Alzheimer's - however the Institute of Psychiatry insist their mood is not lifted by widely-prescribed drugs sertraline and mirtazapine.
Experts studied more than 300 patients with possible dementia and depression lasting at least a month.
They found the antidepressants offered "no benefit" and those taking them were more likely to suffer side effects such as nausea and drowsiness than those who took none.
The authors believe the drugs should be reconsidered as a first-line treatment of depression in Alzheimer's disease.
Rebecca Wood, chief executive of the Alzheimer's Research UK, said: "Research is telling us more about how common prescribed drug treatments used during dementia may be failing patients, or even harming them.
"Findings like these are helping us think again about how we care for people with dementia, improving the effectiveness and safety of treatment plans.
"Investment in dementia research remains pitifully low, and only by increasing investment can we have more hope of finding a treatment that can really change the lives of people with dementia today and in the future."

A forecast slowdown in Sydney price growth for 2016 could spell trouble for developers and investors who bought off the plan in 2015, according to one real estate group CEO.
Starr Partners' Douglas Driscoll said the Sydney boom is well and truly over, with prices likely to remain consistent throughout 2016 – partly because banks are unlikely to pass on any reduction in the official cash rate.
Mr Driscoll said that one consequence is that developers will become nervous and will be less likely to take risks.
"As market levels fall away slightly, some developers might struggle to cover costs," he said.
"In 2015, we saw a lot of developments granted planning permission, but I think heading into 2016 we will see them feel a bit of pain because some purchased their sites on such narrow margins."
Towards the end of 2016, some investors might walk away from their deposits on the belief they over-paid in 2015 and the property has become too risky, according to Mr Driscoll.
He said that some investors will also feel the effects of the investor crackdown, which began in earnest last May.
"Going into 2016, mortgage lenders will start freezing out investors, as lenders actually don't have an obligation to provide the finance," Mr Driscoll said.
"Investors might have committed to an off-the-plan purchase as their mortgage lender considered them qualified to borrow at the time, but when it comes to the buyer needing the finance, there will be changes to lending rules, which, I think, is unfair."

Topic: Military heritage in Washington, DC
I've been to the US capital twice and seen generally nothing which is shame i think. Now i'm going for a 3 days duty trip and it would be great if you recommend smth to me.
Of course, a perfect variant would be to meet up and whip off a couple of beers.
|November 17th, 2010
I'm in the area.
Military stuff... most would be bases and that's pretty much off limits. There is the Air and Space Museum which has military stuff in it. There's also the Spy Museum which is also interesting. Arlington Cemetary is in Virginia but it's practically DC. There are some monuments such as the Vietnam War monument (the wall with names), the Korean War Monument and more recently, the World War II monument as well.
|November 17th, 2010
Still a few years away but the US Army is finally getting a National Museum. It will be located just outside Washington DC.
"The Army's National Landmark
Fort Belvoir, Virginia, one of the country's most prominent defense installations, will be home to the new National Army Museum, which is scheduled to open its doors to the public in 2015.
Just 30 minutes south of the National Mall in Washington, DC, and ten minutes from Mount Vernon, historic home of the nation's first commander-in-chief, Fort Belvoir is the ideal site for the National Army Museum. The Museum will be publicly accessible and is conveniently located at a major crossroads -- just two miles from I-95 and Route 1."

Before you visit DC check out on line the exhibits currently being displayed. For military the Smithsonian American History Museum will have things of interest.

Lafayette Building History
Site History
The Lafayette Building is located on a prominent site in downtown Northwest Washington, DC, facing Lafayette Park and McPherson Square and one block from the White House. The building occupies approximately two-thirds of the block bounded by the diagonal of Vermont Avenue on the west, I Street on the north, 15th Street on the east and H Street on the south.
The Lafayette Building is a highly developed example of the last phase of the Stripped Classical style, illustrating the continued preference for classically derived modernism in the nation's capital. In 1947, the federal government assumed ownership of the Lafayette Building. Designated a National Historic Landmark in September 2005, it is established in close proximity to numerous historic districts in Washington, DC. The Lafayette Building is a component of the Fifteenth Street Financial Historic District.
Design & Construction
Designed through an architectural collaboration between Holabird & Root of Chicago as well as their former associate A.R. Clas of Washington, the building is an excellent example of the Stripped Classical style that was popular amongst government and public buildings in Washington. It was admired for its simplicity and direct, businesslike character. The 12-story limestone-clad office building was not only among the earliest government office buildings in Washington to be centrally air-conditioned but also one of the first to include a built-in garage. Notably, the Lafayette Building was unusual among government buildings due to the incorporation of a row of commercial store along its 15th Street elevation.
Original Tenant Agencies
The Lafayette Building was privately developed with the intent that it be leased to the Federal government. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) was created by President Herbert Hoover in early 1932, during the darkest days of the Great Depression. With the American banking system near collapse and an election coming up in November, Hoover abandoned his deepest personal convictions to create an institution that would use government funds to subsidize the private banking industry. The RFC Act of January 22, 1932 authorized the corporation to make emergency loans to private banks, building-and-loan societies, railroads, and agricultural stabilization corporations.

Mavs' Nowitzki gets last-minute nod for 13th All-Star game
DALLAS (AP) - Dirk Nowitzki was a last-minute choice to make his 13th All-Star appearance.
The Dallas superstar was named Wednesday night to fill in for New Orleans forward Anthony Davis, who has a strained right shoulder. The All-Star game is Sunday in New York.
The 36-year-old Nowitzki, who is averaging 18.3 points and 5.9 rebounds per game, went to 11 straight All-Star games before missing in 2013 after he sat out the first 27 games recovering from right knee surgery. He went again last year.
No other Dallas player has more than four All-Star appearances.
Earlier this season, Nowitzki joined Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan as the only players to score 27,000 points with one franchise. The 7-footer from Germany is in his 17th season.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Kevin P.
Review for American Diabetes Association Inc, Arlington, VA, USA
So far as I can tell, most of the money I donate to the ADA gets spent on asking me for even more donations. I went looking for a better alternative and found the Diabetes Action Research and Education Foundation, which Charity Navigator gives a four-star rating as contrasted with a one-star (currently) for the ADA. My sister died of complications associated with diabetes, so I really want to make sure my money is put to good use.

Barcelona 2012 - Flash Interviews - Women's Triple Jump Final
WinnerAna PELETEIRO, ESP
I could not hide my tears. I tribute this gold medal to my both grandmothers, one of them passed away recently. I have improved my personal best in almost half a meter and I cannot believe it yet. The support of the public has been decisive for jumping 14.17m. I'd like to become as relevant as Teddy Tamgho or Carlota Castrejana, who are my idols.
Second - Dovile DZINDZALETAITE, LTU
My aim was to jump over 14metres, so I am really excited that I have managed to fulfill my goal. It is a great feeling to break Lithuanian national record and get the silver medal in World Championships. The 14.17 attempt which was made by Ana Peleteiro even helped me to concentrate more on my own performance. I ask audience to applause from my first races as this helps me to concentrate better. Family and friends have always been my main supporters. I could say only great things about the competition and the hosting city Barcelona.

Bullying misery inspires teen's victims charity
TEENAGER Luke Lancaster has turned his harrowing experiences of being bullied at school into a revolutionary scheme to help thousands of children.
The 17-year-old launched his own charity, Young Pioneers, for fellow students who have suffered at the hands of thugs.
Since setting the charity up three years ago it has provided education for thousands of young people, funded 121 scholarships and helped the Government save £1.7million.
Luke said: "We stop bullying becoming an expensive problem in schools by showing them how to tackle it before it gets out of control. I was attacked for saying that I wanted to work at school and it made me scared to go into the playground at all. There was really nobody there for me and I was determined to do something about that for other young people.
"One of the main anti-bullying tools is the use of the 'Text Someone' scheme. Software makes sure their text goes straight to a designated teacher and a response goes out at once. The young person knows immediately that their complaint of bullying has been logged and is being taken seriously.
One of the main anti-bullying tools is the use of the 'Text Someone' scheme
"The teacher will then act on the complaint and measures will be taken to stop the bullying. We also run workshops to help young people cope with nastiness that comes their way in terms of confidence building and helping them to gain self-esteem."
Joe Dawson, principal educational psychologist for Leicester City Council, worked to develop the Text Someone software. He said: "Routes for youngsters to report bullying is always paramount and since they are always texting it seemed the obvious route."

Bio-manufacturing researchers produce eco-friendly plastics
New zero-petroleum plastics manufacturing ideas include using bacteria to ferment organic and non-organic waste into bioplastics, and using vegetable oils to create a polyethylene-like bioplastic.
The American Society for Microbiology reports from its 109th General Meeting that scientists are now looking to microorganisms to replace the use of petroleum plastic in order to produce environmentally-friendly plastics.
"Organic waste from agriculture, industries and households forms a very large resource that is currently discarded or at best transformed into biogas. From a sustainability point of view it is desired to convert these organic resources in chemicals," says Mark van Loosdrecht of Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, who has been working on using bacteria to transform this waste into bioplastics known as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) .
PHAs are linear polyesters produced by bacterial fermentation of sugar or lipids (fats). They are produced by the bacteria to store carbon and energy. More than 150 different monomers can be combined within this family to give materials with extremely different properties. These plastics are biodegradable and are used in the production of bioplastics. However, the high cost of PHA production compared to conventional plastics has limited their use in a wide range of applications.
Using technology derived from wastewater treatment systems, van Loosdrecht and his lab have developed a process using open microbial cultures to convert organic wastes to PHAs. This new process is able to produce just as much PHA as existing processes at specific rates that are up to three times faster.
Other new plastic development processes using non-petroleum-based products reported at the meeting include:
Kevin O'Connor at the University College in Dublin, Ireland, has developed a new process using bacteria to produce PHAs from waste, only the waste is not organic. O'Connor has found a way to transform traditional plastics into biodegradable plastics. Using a process called pyrolysis, the waste plastics are heated in the absence of air, causing a breakdown of the molecular bonds. What's left is an oil that is then fed to natural soil bacteria that use it to produce PHA. The process was initially developed using polystyrene, one of the most widely used plastics, but O'Connor says it also works on other plastics including polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the plastic used to make water bottles.
Richard Gross from the Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, New York, is using bacteria that produce a building block from vegetable oils that can be used to make a plastic that is very much like polyethylene. However, unlike polyethylene, when it becomes waste it can be converted by mild enzymatic methods to biodiesel fuel. Gross in collaboration with colleagues at DNA 2.0 engineered a yeast to specifically ferment a fatty acid into a compound that can be processed into a bioplastic.

LITTLETON, Colo. (CBS4)– A World War II veteran from Littleton received a special honor on Friday.
Rep. Mike Coffman presented Joseph Falconetti with the Distinguished Flying Cross Award for his heroism during the war.
Falconetti, 88, was aboard a B-24 in 1944 when the plane was struck during a bombing over Romania.
The pilot and two others were wounded. That's when Falconetti took control of the plane and landed it safely.
"I had 95 hours of pilot time but never landed the plane until my last mission. I buckled the nose gear and the plane went up but everybody was still safe," said Falconetti.
Falconetti hopes troops coming home from fighting overseas are given the respect they deserve.

We bought our Mazda Bongo two years ago. We were looking for a people carrier but also needed something for touring abroad and with enough space to transport items to and from our holiday home. This was more than ideal its great to drive and easier to park than our car. We had some overheating problems but all it needed was a good Bongo garage. I can't praise it enough.

ELYRIA — A longtime supporter of Elyria Schools has been named to the school board to replace the late Richard Kaplan.
The appointment of Michael Gebhardt came Wednesday evening, less than a month after the death of Kaplan, 59, who had just been elected to his first term in November 2011.
Gebhardt will serve as a board member through 2013. The remaining board members unanimously voted to appoint Gebhardt to the seat.
He said it was an honor to be selected to serve.
"Rich was a real friend to the schools and believed wholeheartedly in the significance of his role as a member of the Elyria school board," Gebhardt said. "I echo that sentiment and will do my best to live up to his expectations, and most importantly, to the expectations of Elyria's students, staff and community."
Gebhardt is a graduate of Elyria High School and lifelong advocate of Elyria Schools. In that role, he has served as president of the Elyria Schools athletic booster organization, the Pioneer Club and serves as treasurer of the Elyria Citizens Committee for Quality Education, a position he has held for more than 20 years.
Gebhardt and his wife, Nancy, an Elyria Schools teacher, have three daughters, Amy, Kara and Emily.
Former Elyria school board member and Elyria Municipal Court Judge Gary Bennett swore in Gebhardt, who serves as the judge's bailiff.
"This is a bittersweet moment for me," Bennett said before administering the oath of office. "The bitter comes because Rich Kaplan was a dear friend of mine. I served on the board for 18 years, and I encouraged him to run for the school board because I knew how much he loved volunteering with the district and cared for the students. But the sweet comes because I also have known Mike for very many years and he, too, brings the quality of volunteering for the schools. I know his first priority will be to do what is right for the schools and what is right for the community."
Also during the meeting, longtime board member Don Boddy was named president of the board with Virginia Hawes, also a longtime member, being named as vice-president.
The appointment may seem sudden, but Howard Lane, the school board's attorney and who also represents The Chronicle-Telegram, explained Wednesday that the board was on a tight timetable.
Lane said under Ohio law the board had between 10 and 30 days from the date of Kaplan's death to appoint his replacement. Kaplan's death occurred Dec. 10 and started the board's timetable.
Dec. 20 is the earliest the vacancy could have been filled and Jan. 9 was the latest. Lane said if the board had failed to meet that timetable, the authority to appoint the new member would have fallen to the Lorain County Probate Court.
Elyria board member Evelyn France previously said the board would seek applications from community members in the process of filling the vacant seat. However, when she spoke she said she was not aware of the short time for the appointment under Ohio law.
"We would have loved to do that and take our time in picking the best person for the seat, but we did not have that luxury with there being a death on the board," Boddy said.
Lane said Gebhardt will not serve out Kaplan's entire term, which was up in 2015.
There is so much time remaining in his term that Ohio law requires the seat to go up for election in November, with the winner being chosen to serve out the remainder of the term starting Jan. 1, 2014.
Superintendent Paul Rigda said Gebhardt has been a school district supporter for longer than he has been superintendent and that is refreshing to him because it lets him know Elyria is getting someone who is passionate about the schools.

I decided this time last year to try my hand at six strings. To be honest became frustrated at the bands I was playing in, never one just to criticise I rolled my sleaves up and got involved. I'm playing guitar and bass my wife sings and drums. On these tracks I'm playing a Fender JB62, and man what a bass it is too. Full of music. My amp is a SVT micro and an amusing combination of the associated 2x10 and the 1x15' cab from an old Randell amp. If you like what you hear then please like us on Facebook, we have more music to come. Thanks for listening. [SOUNDCLOUD] http://snd.sc/QaQtET www.facebook.com/mrmrshill

WILL Eason admits leaders Horspath have the toughest test possible as they seek to clinch the Division 2 title tomorrow.
Captain Eason's side visit Oxfordshire rivals Shipton-under-Wychwood, who are unbeaten in 11 matches.
But having secured promotion to Division 1 last week, Horspath are determined to finish the job themelves rather than relying on Reading to slip up at home to Cove.
"We probably couldn't have a tougher game as Shipton are on a fantastic run and beat us comprehensively at our place," said Eason.
"I'm sure there will be people keeping an eye on the Reading match, but it doesn't really affect me.
"If we do what we need to do, that result is academic.
"We know Shipton have some dangerous players. Let's hope that we can keep them as quiet as possible.
"If we play to our potential, then hopefully at the end of the day we'll be celebrating."
Jason Hunt and Andy Hemming replace Calvin Dickinson and Sasha Barras (both unavailable) for Shipton.
Captain Simon Hole said: "We are going to treat it as any other game.
"If we win on Saturday, then we will be able to say we have won three of our four matches against the top two."
Matt Woods is added to the Great & Little Tew squad for their home game with Dinton.
Great & Little Tew (v Dinton, home): from Hubbert, White, Smith, Jordan Garrett, Catling, Slatter, Harris (capt), Lloyd Brock, Calrk, Woods, Bryan, Thomas.
Shipton-under-Wychwood (v Horspath, home): J Barrett, R Barrett, A Hemming, Hole (capt), Wood, Sanklecha, Cross, Seacole, Brain, Hunt, Miller.
Horspath (v Shipton-under-Wychwood, away): R Eason, Cutter, Phillips, Ali, Skelton, Faruq, Wynd, Foster, W Eason (capt), Conradie, Belcher.

It's The Economy Stupid!
The politicians running for Pres-ident don't really give us much to go on. They make it hard to decide who we want to vote for. Most of us feel more strongly about who we're against than who we're for. It's easier to get someone to say they hate one politician than that they like another.
Polls show that Americans are more worried about the economy now than about Iraq, but most of us are economic ignoramuses. We know, in a general sort of way, whether things are going well or badly because we see the headlines about stock prices being up or down. Economic theory eludes us, so we don't really know what we're worried about.
When I was quite young - before I went to college - I had a temporary love affair with the ideas of an Ameri-can journalist writing from Moscow named John Reed. He was Harvard-educated, a brilliant writer - and a communist. He was the only American apologist for the kind of government that ruled Russia after the revolution. I wasn't smart enough to be a communist - or a capitalist.
I got over my infatuation with John Reed. I've never given up my suspicion that there's something wrong with the capitalist, free enterprise system devoted to the theory that things work out best for everyone if we each take all we can get. Selfishness is the God of Capitalism. It doesn't seem right and it's a disappointment to me that it works. Success is the only thing in capitalism's favor. There is no intellectual defense for it.
In the real world, businesses cheat to get ahead and the quality of the product always gets worse when a big company takes over a smaller one. However, but we can't devise a system that works any better.
As early as the late 1800s, a hand-full of businessmen like the Vanderbilts, the Rockefellers, DuPonts and Morgans had accumulated so much money, while millions had none, that it became ap-parent to lawmakers something was wrong with pure, unregulated, winner-take-all capitalism. The business tycoons were known affectionately as "The Rob-ber Barons." To curb their excesses, Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1890.
The Antitrust Act provided government regulation designed to prevent a big, rich company that could afford to do it, from selling its product below cost until the smaller companies selling the same product were forced out of business. At that point, with no competition, the corporate giant could charge anything it wanted.
Most people in business are personally honest, but it's sad and true that most of our laws pertaining to business assume that business would cheat the consumer if it were not inhibited by law. What's sad is, the assumption is true. The ethical standards of too many businesses fall short of the personal standards of the people running them. I don't know why that is. Ken-neth Lay, the chairman of Enron, wouldn't pick your pocket or cheat in a poker game.
The biggest problem anyone like me has in supporting government regulation of anything is not economic theory or Republican inclinations. What's wrong is the assumption that elected officials are smart enough to run business any better than businessmen. (I call women in business "businessmen.")
The fact is, neither pure socialism nor pure capitalism works. So we lean one way or the other and draw the line between being conservative and liberal on business issues. If the administration is dominated by Democrats, we draw the line one place. If it's dominated by Republicans, we draw the line another place. President Bush has tried, successfully, to draw the line closer to where the business community likes it. As an elected Republican President, he gets to do that.
What we all have to conclude when we vote is that the success of our country depends, not on any system, but on having honest, smart people running it. They may be there but they're hard to find among campaigning politicians.

Legal Question in Traffic Law in New York
Speeding Ticket Jefferson Road
I got a ticket of 72 in a 45 in Jefferson road in Henrietta. It's my first ticket and I've only been driving for under a year here. It was late and I wanted to just get home. The limit was not posted anywhere near where I got pulled over. What is your suggestions for getting this reduced to something lower? Possibly with defensive driving school and divergence?
2 Answers from Attorneys
Re: Speeding Ticket Jefferson Road
If you have a probationary license ,you may face real trouble. If you have a regular license there are plea bargain possibilities. You may contact my office @7188340087 for a free phone consultation.
Re: Speeding Ticket Jefferson Road
Pleading not guilty and requesting a hearing is always recommended. The driver can benefit by having a hearing. More often, however, the ticket can be resolved through the mail.
Hiring an experienced traffic attorney in the area that understands the NYS V&T and how to negotiate with the local attorneys is vital to not only trying to win, but to keep your insurance premiums lower for years to come. Paying a little today may save you two or three times in the future.
Our firm handles these types of issues and would be happy to help. I would need to review the ticket and see what can be done. Please contact my firm and I would be happy to assist.

Three Department of Correction officials at Rikers Island were arrested over the alleged cover-up of an assault on a cuffed inmate with a baton, the city's chief investigator said Wednesday.
The arrests are part of an investigation by the city's Department of Investigation into violence and drug smuggling at Rikers that has led to more than a dozen people being arrested.
The latest collars were for Moises Simancas, a captain, and two corrections officers, April Jackson of Brooklyn and Tyrone Wint of Brentwood, Long Island.
The DOI alleged that on Oct. 30, 2012, the two officers took the cuffed inmate, who had been verbally abusive to one of the defendants, and brought him to a stairwell where all three defendants beat him with batons. To cover up the beating, the corrections officials allegedly filed use-of-force reports that left out the batons. The contusions the inmate suffered had an imprint of the batons, the DOI said.
The Bronx district attorney's office is prosecuting the officials arrested in the DOI investigation.

Bernie Ecclestone back in driving seat as money talks for 'Teflon Man'
Bernie Ecclestone traded in the currency he understands best to deal with a Munich criminal court — hard cash.
There is an almost poetic quality to the story of a billionaire who walks free of serious bribery charges because he writes a cheque for $100 million (about £59 million), but those who know Formula One's chief executive best will be raising a glass this morning to their "Teflon Man", the entrepreneur who has survived for more than 60 years in business because he is sharper, faster and prepared to play harder than everyone else.
In F1, there will be either a sigh of relief or sharp intake of breath. There are those loyal to Ecclestone through every legal quagmire and every gaffe, but just as…

The intractable, sophomoric politics that has come to define this era is nothing new. Americans have been dealing with such bursts of dysfunction since the beginning of the republic.
The current problems are compounded by media, mostly cable news, that amplify the players who are already shouting the loudest with little substance to justify the volume.
There is a need for places where thoughtful political discussion can happen. From the United States Capitol to state capitols, county councils, television programs, newspapers, bars and coffee shops — all should be places where we can work toward good governance.
The Seattle Times editorial board is going to create one of those places. Really, it is part of what we do daily, but the Just Fix It initiative focuses the dialogue in a way that can help on both the local and federal levels.
Just Fix It is an extension of the editorial board's Reset project that began in June of 2010 and ran through the legislative session.
For Reset we used a set of criteria for endorsing candidates and positions. We believed there were some specific issues — such as fiscal responsibility, leadership and commitment to education — that candidates needed to address and the Legislature needed to work on.
This project is similar but more prescriptive and will suggest paths that could invigorate the economy, regulators and a free press. We will be focusing on three areas — federal, state, county — where the old way of doing things is not working anymore.
The project kicks off with a look at the federal deficit-reduction committee. We also want Just Fix It to be a place for readers to reach out to politicians so, in addition to our suggestions, we will publish what readers are saying.
On Oct. 2, we will offer recommendations for the state, and then the county on Oct. 16. Just Fix It will not end there. The project will run at least through the 2012 legislative session and possibly next year's elections.
Sen. Patty Murray, a member of the deficit-reduction committee, said at the group's first hearing on Sept. 8, "... while none of us will ever set aside or betray our principles — we must keep in mind there is much more that binds us as Americans than divides us, and we must all be open to compromise and to the ideas and viewpoints of others."
Those words embody what we are attempting. It is our obligation as a newspaper to identify solutions and stimulate thoughtful civil discussion.

The Giant Asteroid: A Retrospective
Dear Dawn't Look Backs,
Its long and daring interplanetary journey continuing smoothly, Dawn is making good progress in gradually reshaping its orbit around the sun. Its uniquely efficient ion propulsion system is gently bringing it closer to its next destination, dwarf planet Ceres, and ever farther from its previous one, Vesta. Although the robotic explorer's sights are set firmly ahead, let's take one last look back at the fascinating alien world it unveiled during its 14 months in orbit there.
Vesta, the second most massive resident of the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, was discovered in 1807. For more than two centuries thereafter, the mysterious object appeared as little more than a fuzzy patch of light among the stars. The only one of the millions of main belt asteroids to be bright enough to be visible to the naked eye, Vesta beckoned, but its invitation was not answered until Dawn arrived in July 2011, nearly four years after it left distant Earth. The cosmic ambassador is the only spacecraft ever to have orbited an object in the main asteroid belt, and its ambitious mission would have been impossible without ion propulsion.
Dawn found a complex and exotic place, and it returned a fabulously rich collection of pictures and other measurements that will continue to be analyzed for many, many years. For now, we will simply touch on a very few of the many insights that already have been illuminated by the light of Dawn.
Scientists recognize Vesta as being more like a mini-planet than like the chips of rock most people think of as asteroids. The behemoth is 565 kilometers (351 miles) wide at the equator and has a surface area more than twice that of California (although it is populated by far fewer eccentrics, billionaires, and other colorful characters found in that state). Dawn's measurements of the gravity field provide good evidence that Vesta separated into layers, much like Earth did as the planet was forming. Vesta's dense core, composed principally of iron and nickel, may be 200 to 250 kilometers (125 to 150 miles) across. Surrounding that is the mantle, which in turn is covered by the veneer of the crust, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) thick. The once-molten core is now solid (in contrast to Earth's, which remains hot enough to be liquid), but the differentiation into layers gives Vesta a key distinction from most asteroids. Because it was likely still in the process of accumulating material to become a full-sized planet when Jupiter's immense gravity terminated its growth, scientists often refer to Vesta as a protoplanet.
Among the most prominent features of the alien landscape is a huge gouge out of the southern hemisphere so large that its presence was inferred from observations with the Hubble Space Telescope. Dawn found this gigantic crater to be even deeper and wider than expected, penetrating about 19 kilometers (12 miles) and spanning more than 500 kilometers (310 miles), or nearly 90 percent of the protoplanet's equatorial diameter.
The yawning hole is now known as Rheasilvia, after the Vestal Virgin who not only was the mythical mother of Romulus and Remus, but also surely would have been astounded by the spectacular sights on Vesta as well as the spacecraft's capability to point any user-defined body vector in a time-varying inertial direction defined by Chebyshev polynomials. As Dawn has brought Vesta into focus, cartographers have needed labels for the myriad features it has discovered. The International Astronomical Union names Vestan craters for Vestal Virgins and other famous Roman women; mountains, canyons, and other structures are named for towns and festivals associated with the Vestal Virgins.
Vesta dates to the dawn of the solar system, more than 4.5 billion years ago, and its age shows. Myriad craters tell the story of a timeworn surface that has been subjected to the rough and tumble conditions of life in the asteroid belt ever since. A virtual rain of space rocks has fallen upon it. While Rheasilvia records the most powerful punch, from an object as much as 50 kilometers (30 miles) across, there are at least seven craters, some quite ancient indeed, more than 150 kilometers (nearly 100 miles) in diameter. As the eons pass, craters degrade and become more difficult to discern, their crisp shapes eroded by subsequent impacts large and small.
The long history of cratering is particularly evident in the startling difference between the northern and southern hemispheres. The north is very densely cratered, but the south is not. Why? The titanic blow that carved out Rheasilvia is estimated to have occurred over one billion years ago. It excavated a tremendous volume of material. Much of it fell back to the surface, wiping it clean, so the cratering record had to start all over again. Recall that the crater itself is 500 kilometers (310 miles) in diameter, and scientists estimate that 50 kilometers (30 miles) outside the rim, the debris may have piled about 5 kilometers (3 miles) high. Even at greater distances, preexisting features would have been partially or completely erased by the thick accumulation. The effect did not reach to the northern hemisphere, however, so it retained the craters than had formed before this enormous impact.
Some of the rocks were ejected with so much energy that they broke free of Vesta's gravitational grip, going into orbit around the sun. They then went their own way as they were yanked around by the gravitational forces of Jupiter and other bodies, and many of them eventually made it to the part of the solar system where your correspondent and some of his readers spend most of their time: Earth. When our planet's gravity takes hold of one of these Vesta escapees, it pulls the rock into its atmosphere. Some lucky witness might even observe it as a meteor. Its blazing flight to the ground is not the end of its glory, however, for these rocks are prized by planetary geologists and other enthusiasts who want a souvenir from that impact.
Scientists now know that about 6 percent of the meteorites seen to fall to Earth originated on Vesta. Six percent! One of every 16 meteorites! This is an astonishingly large fraction. Apart from Mars and the moon, Vesta is the only known source of specific meteorites. Although rocks from Vesta had to travel much farther, they far outnumber meteorites from these other two more familiar celestial bodies.
Combining laboratory studies of the numerous samples of Vesta with Dawn's measurements at the source provides an extraordinary opportunity to gain insights into the nature of that remote world. Meteorites from Vesta are so common that they are often displayed in museums (occasionally even without the curators' awareness of their special history) and can be obtained from many vendors. Anyone who has seen or held one surely must be moved by contemplating its origin, so distant in space and time, from well beyond Mars and long before animal or plant life arose on Earth.
