Thatcher's children have grown up fit to face the new challenges
The Falklands conflict was the trigger indicating her radical belief that Britain's best was yet to come
In the 1970s the young men, and they were all men, of the Conservative Research Department had a special nickname for Margaret Thatcher. For the generation that included Michael Portillo, Chris Patten and Matthew Parris, she was "mother". The choice was pregnant with many meanings.
She was at once an object of fear and a target for teasing, a diva to be adored at one moment and a matron to be mocked, behind her back of course, at another. For this cohort of young Conservatives, Margaret Thatcher went on to become the matriarch under whose protection they were to grow and flourish. But they never lost a sense of ironic detachment towards her, even as they recognised her greatness.
Margaret may have mothered that generation…

Quiet Moments by NaturVet - Natural Calming Aid for Dogs
Quiet Moments calms your dog during periods of anxiety, nervousness, tension or stress:
Quiet Moments calms your dog during periods of anxiety, nervousness, tension or stress:
- Traveling and Kenneling
- Grooming
- Thunderstorms
- 4th of July and other celebrations
- Trips to the vet
Quiet Moments is a natural way to calm down your dog and contains all natural active ingredients including chamomile, passion flower, ginger, tryptophan and Vitamin B-1.
Each bottle contains 30 tablets. Also available in 70 ct. Soft Chews
Active Ingredients:
Chamomile Flower - 150 mg
Chamomile has a wide variety of uses including for pets with nervousness and anxiety. Chamomile's high content of the amino acid tryptophan has been used for sleeplessness and insomnia for hundreds of years. It is commonly used as a mild sedative to calm the nerves, reduce anxiety and induce a state of pleasant relaxation without disrupting normal function or interfering with motor coordination. It is also an anti-inflammatory herb that has antimicrobial properties (for pets with skin infections) and for its ability to heal wounds. Chamomile should not be used in pregnant animals or those taking prescription anticoagulants.
Passion Flower - 100 mg
Passion Flower contains several flavonoids that exhibit a sedative effect on the central nervous system. Chrysin, a monoflavonoid, affects the central receptors of the brain and the combination of flavonoids act as an anxiolytic which helps to promote relaxation, soothe tension and relieve occasional anxiety and panic caused by emotional stress.
Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B-1) - 100 mg
Thiamine is considered an "anti-stress" vitamin because it is believed to enhance the activity of the immune system and improve the body's ability to withstand stressful conditions.
Ginger - 50 mg
Ginger has been used to increase peripheral circulation and may help with motion sickness. Excessive doses of ginger may interfere with existing cardiac, antidiabetic or anticoagulant therapies.
L-Tryptophan (an essential amino acid)- 30 mg
Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that is required to produce vitamin B3 (niacin) and is a precursor for serotonin, melatonin and niacin. Tryptophan has been found to increase brain levels of serotonin, a calming neurotransmitter and/or melatonin, a sleep-inducing hormone. Studies with humans and animals have shown that serotonin nerve circuits promote feelings of well-being, calm, personal security, relaxation, confidence and concentration.
Inactive Ingredients: Dicalcium phosphate, Dried Skim Milk, Magnesium Stearate, Maltodextrins, Montmorillonite, Natural Flavoring, Stearic Acid, Vegetable oil, and Whey.
For dogs and puppies over 12 weeks in age.
Dogs up to 26 lbs. - 1/2 tablet daily
27 - 50 lbs. - 1 tablet daily
51 - 99 lbs. - 2 tablets daily

Showing the Way
The Department of Medicine has been a pioneer in advancing the career interests of its minority and female faculty. About 10 years ago, former Department of Medicine Director Jack Stobo created a task force to deal with issues specific to women faculty, and recently, Director Mike Weisfeldt set up the first departmental diversity council in the School of Medicine.
Now, Medicine also has created the first underrepresented-minority visiting professorship, a program that will bring leading academic clinician scientists here from other schools to lecture and mentor Hopkins' minority faculty, residents and students.
Endocrinologist Gary Wand, chair of Medicine's diversity council, explains that the low number of minority senior faculty makes it difficult for underrepresented junior faculty to find role models who can encourage their career development and shepherd them through issues unique to their situation. "The contributions of outstanding clinician scientists don't get enough attention," Wand says. "Showcasing those accomplishments will send a positive message to our minority junior faculty that academic career paths are open to them."
According to a recent analysis by the Association of American Medical Colleges of 50,000 full-time medical faculty, minority faculty are promoted at lower rates than white faculty, after adjusting for such variables as type of department and medical school. "Academic medicine isn't doing a good job," asserts David Nichols, vice dean for education, "in attracting minorities and keeping those we do have. In fact, compared to the United States military or the corporate world, academic medicine is far behind."
Nichols points out that minorities make up 10 percent to 20 percent of Hopkins' medical school classes, and form about 8 percent of faculty in the instructor and assistant professor ranks. But only 2.7 percent of full professors are underrepresented minorities, and only one is female. Why minority faculty leave before they reach the top, according to Nichols, is unclear. But the dean's office is committed to improving career opportunities for faculty. "The Department of Medicine always has been out in front in dealing with diversity," he adds, "and this visiting professorship is just the latest example."
Medicine's diversity council also is undertaking a three- to five-year study to nail down the reasons why retention and promotion of minority faculty have lagged. The council is launching other diversity programs, such as matching its 30 minority residents and fellows with mentors and recruiting the best fourth-year medical school students from around the country for a minority clerkship. "We'll be using the results of our study and evaluations of these other diversity initiatives to come up with a program that will make the department more attractive for minority faculty," Wand says. "If we're successful, this could become a model for the rest of the School."
For the first visiting professor, the diversity committee tapped Juanita Merchant, associate professor of internal medicine at the University of Michigan and a Howard Hughes investigator. Merchant, who earned both her medical and postgraduate degrees from Yale, is a noted researcher who has won numerous scientific awards for her study of the mechanisms that control normal and cancerous cell growth in the gastrointestinal tract. Merchant was chosen from a list of outstanding minority physician scientists supplied to the council by Hopkins faculty. "She came out on top of our list," Wand says.

by HERNANDO!!! • May 9, 2008 • norcal scene • 19 Comments
hey now … got word that our UC Davis hammerheads went 1st in the Men's Div 1, and 4th in the Women's. And, lo, STANFORD takes the Women's. West Coast Mafia, eh?
that rocks.
here's a nice blurb (thanks E.O.B & Swatters) ~
This morning the UC Davis men's squad of Shawn Rosenthal, Tyler Dibble, Paul Mach and Phil Mooney WON the team time trial at the National Collegiate Cycling Championships in Ft. Collins, Colorado, beating CU Boulder by nine seconds. Stanford, last year's Team Omnium Champion, finished eighth.
Our women's squad of Amanda Seigle, Marisa McAdler, Amy Encalada and Amy Chandos finished fourth. Stanford's women won.
Preliminary calculations place the Aggies in first place in the Team Omnium competition after the first day. This weekend the Aggies will compete in a road race on Saturday and a crit on Sunday. I'll be filing news stories with the local papers on Sunday evening, but I'll also post updates, quotes, and photos on http://sportclubs.ucdavis.edu/cycling/ as they become available.

Hollywood Romance Revisited at Baylor's Ultimate Valentine's CelebrationFeb. 9, 2010
Follow us on Twitter: @BaylorUMediaCom
Baylor University's Armstrong Browning Library will be filled with its special kind of romance during the 2nd Annual Valentine Extravaganza at 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13, at the library's McLean Foyer of Meditation on the Baylor campus.
The celebration will include a serenade by singer/pianist Dave Tanner, who will perform a medley of Hollywood love songs. Afternoon tea and gourmet desserts will be served after Tanner highlights the deep love that Victorian poets Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning had for each other.
"We wanted to provide an entertaining afternoon in the beautiful meditation room to celebrate everyone who has helped us throughout the year," said Rita S. Patteson, library director. "It is especially romantic because of the Browning love story that is very unique and special."
The Extravaganza will be connected to the Baylor Libraries newest exhibit Baylor Love Stories: A Celebration of Romance which is on display in the Allbritton Foyer of Moody Memorial Library on the Baylor campus. The exhibit consists of photos, stories and mementos of Baylor Bears who met at Baylor, fell in love and lived happily ever after. Some couples featured in the exhibit will be present at the Extravaganza.
The treasured handwritten manuscript of How Do I Love Thee? written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning can be found at the library, which houses the world's largest collection of artifacts relating to the Brownings. Baylor's manuscript of the poem, which is contained in Sonnets from the Portuguese is one of only three copies in existence today. The two other copies are at the British Library in London and the Pierpoint Morgan Library in New York.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning died at age 55 in 1861, while her husband, Robert Browning, was 77 when he died in 1889. The two were married for only 15 years when Elizabeth died in Browning's arms at their home in Florence, Italy. Their union was considered one of the greatest literary romances ever known.
Tanner has performed for more than 300 radio and television commercials, including ones for American Airlines, Pizza Hut, Mountain Dew and Radio Shack. Children know him as "Farmer Dooley" on the PBS television show, Barney The Dinosaur. Tanner has performed for European royalty, five Texas governors and three Presidents of the United States.
Tickets are $50 for couples and $30 for individuals. Proceeds will benefit the library collection development.
Tickets can be purchased online. Contact the library at (254) 710-4968 for more information.

No Turning Back
December 31, 2012 in Preparedness
We are in a major crisis as we speak, a situation that most likely cannot be reversed. We have a government that does not look out for the interests of the American people, but only looks out for how much more they can fit into their wallets. I will admit, they are good at what they do. They have had the majority of America fooled for decades. They still have most of us brainwashed, and I wish I could turn the switch off. I can only show you the facts and theories, I can give you enough information to paint an ugly picture of the United States has become and what it is becoming, but I can not make you see the destruction if all the fluoride and chemicals has had you on the equivalent of a disney vacation on LSD. I know it is going to take more than a pinch to wake people up, so that is why I do what I do on a daily basis. The time is now people. It is time to wake up and start preparing yourselves. If TSHTF tomorrow, what the fuck would you do? Would your family be protected? How would you feel if "IT" happened within the next week, and you had to watch your family beg for food and water, and you had the opportunity to make sure your family was safe, and had somewhat of a plan, but decided it was not important enough because you think it will never happen? Did you know that there are people on the East Coast still, as of today, without power from Hurricane Sandy? Still living in Fema Camps that will not let them leave? The mainstream media will not cover these things. It is time you did your own research and stop watching Fox News. Just be prepared, it really does not take that much effort and your family and friends will thank you later.

Court ruling could mean DNA testing for convicted murderer
Updated 11:15 pm, Wednesday, March 27, 2013
An inmate convicted of murder and sent to prison in 2002 for 65 years might have a glimmer of hope for DNA testing in his case based on a decision Wednesday by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Instead of dismissing William Harris' civil rights claim, a Houston federal judge should have given him the opportunity to amend his complaint to "state his best case," according to the federal appellate court's opinion issued Wednesday.
Harris, 48, has filed lawsuits in various courts claiming his constitutional rights were violated because the Harris County D.A. would not use DNA testing on evidence in his case.
According to the appeals court opinion, district courts should not dismiss pro se complaints - those filed on one's own behalf without a lawyer - "without first providing the plaintiff an opportunity to amend, unless it is obvious from the record that the plaintiff has pled his best case."
In September 2002, a Harris County jury found Harris guilty of the strangulation of his wife, Wenona Lynn Morris-Harris, 29.
The Texas Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction in 2004. The state appeals court also denied two motions for post-conviction DNA testing.
Sued D.A. Pat Lykos
In 2006, Harris filed a habeus corpus petition in federal court challenging the conviction, based on the lack of DNA testing, and was denied relief.
Then last year, Harris sued then-Harris County District Attorney Pat Lykos, accusing her of denying him due process by repeatedly refusing to seek or recommend DNA testing of evidence.
The case was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes less than three weeks later.
"Harris has not raised a constitutional deprivation under his claim that the Harris County District Attorney did not pursue DNA testing for him," Hughes wrote in his opinion dismissing the case in late February 2012. "Harris has also not shown [that he is in custody] in violation of the constitution by the failure of the District Attorney to pursue DNA testing. Harris fails to state a claim recognized at law."
Case goes back to court
Hughes also ordered the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to deduct 20 percent of every deposit made into Harris' inmate account, when the balance exceeds $10, and send the sum to the court until the $350 filing fee is paid.
Wednesday's decision vacates the dismissal and sends the case back to Houston federal court.
In March 2001, Morris-Harris disappeared from the Texas City apartment complex where she lived with her young son. The couple was in the process of getting a divorce, which was supposed to be finalized the week after the death, according to Texas Court of Appeals records.
Witnesses saw a man carrying what they first thought was laundry from the building until an arm fell out of the bundle. Morris-Harris' body was found the next day behind a trash receptacle in Houston. She worked in the criminal division of the Galveston County District Clerk's office.

Carbon man admits to assault on troopers
A Carbon County man, scheduled to go on trial this week for assault on state troopers, entered a guilty plea instead.
Joseph A. Flammia, 21, of Albrightsville, Penn Forest Township, pleaded to one count of aggravated assault and two counts of simple assault.
Flammia was arrested following an incident on Feb. 8 at his residence. State police at Fern Ridge responded to the home at 94 Buckhill Road, in the Indian Mountain Lakes development, for a reported domestic dispute. Upon arrival troopers were told by personnel of the Intrepid Detective Agency that Flammia was in his bedroom in the downstairs area of the residence and had a loaded BB gun.
Flammia yelled at security to leave the area and fired several shorts in their direction.
Troopers announced their presence and Flammia then yelled back at them to leave. Troopers again announced their presence. They then rounded a corner in the home and observed Flammia pointing a loaded Crossman pellet gun that resembled a real handgun in their direction.
He was ordered to drop the weapon and was taken into custody.
President Judge Roger N. Nanovic II accepted the plea but deferred sentencing and ordered the adult probation office to prepare a presentence investigation (PSI).

A FEW years ago I had to spend a weekend pretending I was living in 1948.
It was to mark Prince Charles's birthday, and rather than stick his mug on the front, the mag I worked for opted for me darning, dusting and jitterbugging. It was a good laugh making sponge cakes, wearing gloves and channelling Rita Hayworth and I kept a trio of those ornamental flying ducks as a memento.
But goodness gracious (I'm method acting here), the grooming! What with the Ponds cold cream, the "beauty cake", lipstick, powder, the hour "finger-curling" my hair with starch and water, and the gravy browning on my legs followed by a "seam" of black crayon to approximate stockings, it was a massive faff. And all for a thimble of sherry and a dance with some bloke Brylcreemed to within an inch of his life.
Since that illuminating little time travel, I've had little truck with grooming grumblers — those women who moan about what an effort it is to look half decent. Because far from resenting make-up, nail polish and a squirt of perfume, I could kiss MAC, Giorgio, Bobbi and that organic dude Dr Hauschka because in eight and a half minutes they make me look 75 per cent better than when I get out of bed. (It takes 20 minutes and someone more skilled than me with a GHD to upgrade to 100).
Grooming has become a tyranny, we're constantly told. "Red carpet ready" is an affront to feminism, blasts one commentator. My talented friend Tracey Spicer outs herself as a "vain cow" because she dares to improve on being, frankly, pretty bloody gorgeous in the first place.
OK, so let's pull up a chair at the make-up counter and have a little play with some of this. By all means sit back and watch if au naturel is your thing.
Let's begin with foundation. Tyranny is being ruled cruelly and oppressively by some autocrat like Stalin, Pinochet or Pol Pot. Last time I looked — and goodness knows I often do — Tom Ford was not ordering every woman on the planet into two coats of rouge fatal and an obligatory tidy with his brow sculptor.
Compared to the 1800s when it was all wigs, corsets and whitening powder, or even the 1950s when every woman had to look like something out of Call The Midwife, we can do what we damn well please. I walk to the newsagent in denim cut-offs, beach hair and no make-up. Tonight I'll spruce up for dinner with friends in heels, mascara, and a MAC blush called Springsheen which has the same magical effect as dancing hard to Glory Days. Grooming is not a tyranny, it's a treat. You can opt in, or out.
Moving on (I can't remember — is it concealer next?), Mail Online's Rachel Johnson wrote a piece this week bemoaning the effort required of women who need to be camera ready. "We expect the red carpet to be a feminism-free zone (talented women are posing show ponies in the grand dressage ring of the global media) but this double-standard about presentation, and appearance, is also still normal for telly in general."
Oh please — women may garner 10 times as much airtime on the red carpet because they're not in the ubiquitous tux (Angelina excluded) but plenty use it to talk about their work and passions. Jennifer Lawrence, Helen Mirren, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler — all are proof you can navigate the red carpet with style and substance. "Dress by Vera Wang, jewels by Chopard," they announce then segue neatly into whatever point they want to get across.
As for Johnson's claim that women don't go on TV because they hate all the make-up, what nonsense. Yes, it takes 40 minutes for hair and make-up when I appear on The Today Show — the blokes breeze through in five minutes — but would it make us any more worthy if we announced: "Nope, I'm going with sallow skin and under-eye circles"? I'm no less of a feminist for wanting to look my best. Plus I get three days out of one of their excellent blow-drys.
Right, Spicer. I've had coffee with her in no make-up and dined with her in full war paint (actually newsreaders Juanita Phillips and Jacinta Tynan were also with us so, collectively, we were working four inches of full slap). I loved Trace's recent Tedx talk in Brisbane where she removed her dress and wiped off her make-up to prove a point about the time women devote to getting ready. "Why do we do this to ourselves," she asked. "It's bullshit." We could be far more productive, she explained, if we spent less time on grooming.
I can only speak for myself, but my eight and a half minutes spent applying tinted moisturiser, mascara, blush, gloss, body cream and perfume make me feel professional, efficient and the best version of me.
But just to check I wrote this at home, wearing pyjamas and no make-up. It took me twice as long as usual. Next week I'll go the full Rita.

D2x $600 Craigslist scam to watch out for
D2x $600 Craigslist scam to watch out for
this one is pretty obvious but just thought I'd post it for the newbees
I still have the camera and the price is $600
My name is David Brenet and I am a professionist photograph but for this reason I'v had to move in London, United Kingdom.
At this new company where I work now they have gived me a new camera
and now I have to sell this one because I don't need it anymore
All original accessories, software and manuals...nothing missing. USA warranty card. USED 5 TIMES IN HOME PHOTO STUDIO.
I've only taken about 1200 photos with it. It really is in brand new condition. Not a mark on it.
We can close a deal asap.
Obviously we need a way to complete this deal that will allow us to make
sure we receive what we are after.
I have found a way for us to complete the deal safely and fast, and in
this way you will receive the camera in less than 2 days, if you move fast as
well. The solution is provided by a company called TNT which is similar
to Fedex, DHL or UPS, which will handle the payment and delivery of the
I have found a procedure that will allow you to pay for the camera only after
you will receive it and through this way you will see it and test it
before I receive my payment.
Please click on the link bellow to the TNT website to see how we can
complete the deal safely and fast directly from the website of the
company where the procedure is explaine ww.tnt.com/country/en_generic/about/ournews/euexpansion.html
Like I said, I will pay for a 2 days delivery so you will receive the camera
right away.
I will explain to you step by step how this will work .
1) First you will have to send me your full name and address. I will
need them for the shipping.
2) I go to the TNT store and leave the camera onto your name as the
intended receiver.
3) TNT will check the camera to see if everything is OK with it and
also the legal papers that will come along with the pai .
4) TNT will send you a delivery notification to let you know they
have the camera,in which you will be told that they have the camera and
that they checked it.
5) At this point you will have to go to a Western Union Agent
Location and make a money deposit on the TNT payment agent name for the amount we agreed .
6) After you make the deposit you will have to send the info about
the money deposit to TNT (MTCN, sender's name and address)
7) TNT will verify the payment informations and if everything is in
order they will deliver the camera to you .
8) After you receive the camera, check it and see that all is in
order you will instruct TNT to send me the informations about the money
deposit and I will be able to receive the funds .
I will pay TNT for the shipping and you will pay Western Union for
the Money Transfer fee .
Let me know if we can do this.
Best regards

He also expanded his business, opening several new branches across the country.
The results were mixed. His customers rave about the firm's service. But the expansion proved premature. In addition to the Denver office, Bassey had offices in New York, Cleveland, Chicago and Houston. Bassey had to close those branches after he quickly realized the overhead was more than he could afford to manage.
Now Harvestons has 18 employees in offices in Denver, Houston and Little Rock, Arkansas. "I don't want to go above 30 employees. If I didn't do the expansion, we would've turned a profit in 1998," he says. "But since we trimmed back, eve
ry month [in the first quarter of 1999] we've been profitable," Bassey says.
Harvestons' experiences, in many ways, offer a lesson for all African American investment firms. At every turn, success will be measured not only by clients wooed or by products sold, but also by how well firms adjust to changing or unworkable conditions.
Bernard Beal is already adjusting his business strategies based on client demands and sound management practices. "One of our goals is to let them buy securities over the Internet," he says. Beal decided to make the transition after many of his busy institutional clients said, in essence, that they wanted more service but less contact. "This business is going to become like the supermarket business, where different retailers compete for shelf space and visibility for their products," Beal predicted. In the case of investment firms, "you've got to be on people's screens; they've got to see your firm and know your name," he says.
Beal has another major change planned for 1999. "I own 99% of the firm and I would like to rationally see my ownership interest go down," Beal reveals. He plans to sell a piece — as yet undetermined — of the firm to his employees. "It's a logical first step," says Beal, adding that he sees the move happening "by year's end."
Looking forward, Chapelle expects minority broker-dealers to capture more corporate bond and equity underwriting business. In 1998, at least eight major financings, and in March of this year the $1.7 billion Delphi spin-off and the initial public offering of the Internet stock iVillage, involved African American investment banks. The trend toward diversification and a broader mix of products and services will also continue.
Powell, of Powell Capital Markets, says that to date most of his firm's success has been in school district financing and in solid waste restructuring. "Still, I don't think we'll ever return to the days when we made the money we made [15-20] years ago," Powell says. That's why his firm is looking to diversify into other areas — most likely insurance brokerage and asset management.
For Williams Capital, 1999 will be a year of implementing plans that are already on the drawing board as well as new initiatives (see "Strength in Numbers," this issue). The firm

Prince Harry's Birthday Riddled By Question of His Safety in Afghanistan Following Taliban Attack
While Prince Harry was looking forward to a 28th birthday, it was hard to celebrate the occasion with questions over his safety looming following a Taliban attack.
Price Harry turned 28 years old on Saturday, but there was little time to celebrate given the number of questions that have been raised over his current safety. Earlier on in the week the Prince became the target of a Taliban attack just days after fulfilling his military post in Afghanistan.
The prince was not wounded in the attack, which took place on Friday, although two American marines were killed.
"We attacked that base because Prince Harry was also on it and so they can know our anger," Taliban spokesman Qari Youssef Ahmadi told the Associated Press by telephone following the attack. "Thousands more suicide attackers are ready to give up their lives for the sake of the Prophet."
The Prince began the fourth month tour earlier in September; it is his second tour in Afghanistan. The attack, which took place less than a mile from where the Prince was stationed at Camp Bastion, occurred just one day before he turned 28.
The situation is very different from the one that Prince Harry found himself in weeks before when naked photos of him were leaked while he opted for an early birthday celebration in Las Vegas. Naked photos of Kate Middleton were also leaked on Friday, marking a difficult time for the royal family.
Despite the military attack however, the British military has stated that it has no plans of removing the Prince from his post.
Tory MP Colonel Bob Stewart, a former commander of British troops in Bosnia, supported the decision to keep the Prince in Afghanistan.
"To hell with them," he said according to the Press Association. "Harry wants to go there and our soldiers want him there. He should stay."
Stewart did however state that the Prince posed as a luring target.
"Capturing, killing or hurting Prince Harry would be a huge propaganda coup for the Taliban."

Last Wednesday morning a hazardous chemical leak was reported at the Dow plant in Taft and workers were advised to shelter in place while the issue was handled by plant personnel.
According to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), the leak of Acrolein, a highly flammable and poisonous gas, began at 8:24 a.m., but St. Charles Parish Spokeswoman Renee Simpson said the situation was not reported to the Emergency Operations Center until 51 minutes later at 9:15 a.m.
Dow officials said the leak was contained and never posed a threat to residents.
The DEQ later reported the leak was secured at 10:30 a.m. and an "all clear" was called at 11:24 a.m. with no offsite impact expected.
According to Louisiana State Police (LSP) spokeswoman Trooper Melissa Matey, Dow was within reporting requirements when they called in the leak.
"The LSP has a hazardous materials section. It is required by state law if there is any kind of chemical release they have to notify us," she said.
Matey said DEQ regulations require the reporting of leaks of hazardous materials within one hour, which means Dow still had nine minutes to spare when they notified the EOC of the situation.
Emergency Coordinator Steve Sirmon said the Dow leak was a small incident such as others that occur on a regular basis in St. Charles Parish.
"It required no protective action or any activation from us," he said. "On average we have an unusual event we deal with once every three days."
As far as the reporting requirement is concerned, EOC Director Ron Perry said he thought Dow handled the situation well.
"This is just another unusual event that did not require offsite protective measures," he said. "I think Dow exhibited an abundance of caution with this particular material. It was appreciated by us and I think everything went exactly as we expected it to go."
Senior Emergency Coordinator Jason Tastet said since he has been working at the EOC he has never had an issue with a facility not reporting within the required timeline.
"In my 14 years of working here I've never had a reporting issue where I've thought it came too late with any fixed facility issue," he said.
Dow State Government Affairs Leader Tommy Faucheux said the chemical plant cooperated with all appropriate agencies throughout the ordeal.

We'll start with a postgame comment from coach David Shaw — the quote that best captures not only Stanford's win Saturday but also Stanford's season to date:
"We're not a great team right now, but we're getting better. And the one thing we have is guys who have won a lot of games. You can't discount that experience."
Based on talent and execution, the Cardinal is not a 4-1 team right now — Washington and Arizona are average teams, at best, and Stanford was 45 seconds away from getting swept.
But that experience — Shaw could have said moxie, savvy, poise, maturity; they all fit — fills the gap between Stanford's talent/execution and its record.
Result: Beat Arizona 54-48 (OT)
Grade: C
Comment: Sizzling offense, shoddy defense — not exactly the expected script.
Arizona's defense is BAD.
If the Cardinal puts up half that many points this week, then it might be time to declare the wobbly offense a thing of the past.
But he rarely had to throw out of rhythm or into narrow windows.
His receivers were, for the most part, easy targets against the soft Wildcat defense (9th in the league against the pass, 10th in total defense, 11th against the run).
He'll have good games and bad games. He's tough, he's resourceful, and he's a 50 — 55 percent passer.
Skeptical fans hoping for a change should stop wasting their time:
Unless the situation gets dire — a few bad games does not constitute dire — there will be no change.
A handful of important players were hurt, including (but not limited to) receiver Ty Montgomery (knee/leg) and cornerback Terrence Brown (kicked in the head).
I'd estimate the turnstile count was somewhere in the high-30,000s.
First, UW defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox showed the best way to contain the running game, then RichRod and the Wildcats carved up Stanford's highly-rated defense.
How many teams are capable of doing both? I can think of one, for sure, but it's six weeks away.
Can either of the next two?
Next up: at Notre Dame
The matchup: The point spread — Stanford is a 9.5-point underdog — should give you a sense for the challenge awaiting in South Bend.
The Cardinal has won three in a row, but this is the best Irish team in that span, by far.
Don't be surprised if it's close and low scoring — more like the Stanford-Washington game than what we saw from the Cardinal and Arizona.
Nunes must stay calm in the face of Notre Dame's pressure and in the shadow of Touchdown Jesus. Without downfield completions, Stanford's running game will have a tough afternoon.
At the same time, Stanford must contain UND's rushing attack (187.4 ypg) and force quarterback Everett Golson to win the game through the air.
First team to 20 wins.

Re: Sound crackling
It is a speaker issue. When a speaker reaches its limit, voice just are cutting.
Re: Sound crackling
It's 100% program issue. My speakers can play much louder.
On Windows 7 I don't have any problems and sound by default louder than it is on Mint now.
Anyway, I returned to Windows. I had other problems with Mint which i can't deal.

THE Pakistan football team may have lost to the Afghanistan national squad earlier this week in Kabul but none of the three goals conceded was an own goal.
That task was left to the players in other fields at home led by the country's (fairly) heavily mandated prime minister who, on assuming office a little over two months ago, promised he would address the nation only when he had something to say.
Obviously, when his 'address to the nation' was announced, expectations were raised that some important policy statement would be forthcoming and not a day too late since the country is facing what can only be described as an existential threat.
Having listened with rapt attention to Nawaz Sharif's poorly edited televised speech, my immediate reaction was expressed thus in a Tweet: He spoke, spoke and spoke but said nothing.
The mention of poorly edited isn't to lay the blame for the content on a poor PTV employee. It is merely to point out the reason for the various jumps and bumps you may have witnessed over the course of the prime minister's otherwise prolonged, polished performance.
Of course it wasn't the NLE's (non-linear editor as they're called in TV) fault that the speech was bereft of content.
On reflection, one must add, this initial reaction was a bit harsh. There were hints in the prime minister's speech which spoke volumes for, and there isn't a better way to describe it, his confusion. Terminology may not be significant when we lesser mortals use it. The same isn't true of leaders.
The prime minister mentioned the relentless murder and mayhem being visited on the country by religious zealots as terrorism and also stressed the need to stem the tide. But then in a reconciliatory tone he called terrorists responsible for mass murder in the country 'extremists'.
He offered talks to these extremists and said force will be used against those with whom talks fail. That this carrot and stick wasn't part of a clearly thought through security policy became apparent a few days on when the Defence Committee of the Cabinet met.
Journalists briefed immediately after the meeting reported that it was agreed that talks will be held only with the militants who lay down their weapons. Otherwise force will be used. The story was reported as such by the electronic media.
Hours later the information minister said the prime minister's talks offer had not been made conditional to the laying down of weapons by the terrorists. The minister lambasted the media for carrying an incorrect story. He didn't say why it took him nearly eight hours to correct it.
The Taliban reaction was quite clear. Within hours of the last meeting of the DCC (it has now been reconstituted and rechristened as the National Security Committee) they claimed responsibility for bombing a military convoy in Karachi and the very next morning a paramilitary convoy in Peshawar.
This is in no way to suggest that the information minister, speaking on behalf of the committee chairman, the prime minister, gave a green signal to the Taliban (they need none) to continue with their attacks but only to stress that dilly-dallying has not, and will not, work.
The interior minister has already announced that the counterterrorism policy is well under way and should be unveiled by the end of the month. So, wouldn't it have been better had all government statements on the
issue followed, rather than preceded, it?
This is being said in all earnestness and not as any leg-pulling. Time and again the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) have demonstrated that their actions may make them no better than cavemen but their fighting machine and its propaganda arm are sophisticated and quick on the ball.
They'll seize on any sign that various elements of the country's ruling elite have differing opinions on how to deal with them and make capital out of it. The institution which has paid the heaviest price for the own goal of ambivalence is the military.
After the army chief publicly identified the internal threat from the zealots as his biggest challenge, hopefully, the military's ambiguity may soon be a thing of the past. But a fear-strapped PML-N still appears uneasy about marching in step, let alone lead.
The army has been criticised for acting brutally in Balochistan unilaterally without seeking a national 'consensus' for action there but calling for it where use of force against the TTP is concerned. This criticism is valid.
But it is equally true that in the largest and most influential province of Punjab, there isn't even a hint of a fallout from the disappearance of hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of Baloch youth whose 'tagged', tortured, mutilated bodies are later found dumped. Yes, tagged.
Almost all dumped bodies carry identification. There is no ambiguity about the victim and none about who has meted out this 'justice' to him. If such own goals lead to an own goal by the separatists who kill innocent workers from southern Punjab, continuing the cycle, so be it.
The Taliban are different. Any use of force will potentially shatter peace in the Punjab heartland, which has more or less remained immune from terrorism that has gripped the rest of the country, as the TTP is bound to retaliate against the military's soft underbelly.
This retaliation can be vicious and bloody and last several months, as its fairly clear now how well-entrenched and resourceful the Punjabi Taliban are. This then is the backdrop against which to see the military's demand for a consensus before any action against TTP sanctuaries.
No matter what the government desires, this problem won't be wished away. Neither does procrastination promise deliverance. So, the prime minister needs to focus, assess all repercussions and decide on his chosen course. Then stick with it. There is no room for own goals.

capacitor which stores a charge. The charge will eventually bleed off,
at varying rates, so by the time you get to working on it the charge may
have bled off enough not to give you that nice audible feedback.
That said, just do the discharge procedure (twice if you're shy) and
you'll be good to go. FWIW, the charge on a picture tube is not lethal

I will use it more. When I first got the 1581, I would consolidate many 1541

Chelsea hero Ruud Gullit has urged his old club to go for Tottenham star Luka Modric.
Andre Villas-Boas' club failed in a £40m bid to land the Croatian midfielder in the summer and Spurs are now offering him a new deal, says the Mirror.
But despite losing only one match under their new Portuguese manager, Gullit claimed: "The player Chelsea still need, for me, is Modric.
"They have great players all around the pitch but he has something Chelsea doesn't have at the moment. He is creative and dominates the passing game in the midfield - he could be like Xavi or Iniesta are to Barcelona.
"I was surprised Tottenham didn't accept £40m because they are known to sell their best players for good offers. I think Chelsea will try to sign Modric again in January and maybe this time they will get him."

Letter from Israel
As a result of a chance encounter at Lod airport at the beginning of the year, I met Robi Damelin, spokesperson for the Parents Circle–Bereaved Families Forum, the group uniting Israeli and Palestinian bereaved families in an effort to attain peace, reconciliation and tolerance.
Robi was struggling with a huge poster advertising an exhibition of cartoons about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict due to be held in London the following week. We helped her with her package and, as we were also on our way to London, she invited us to attend the opening of the exhibition.
Robi is obviously a woman of character. Born in South Africa, where she was involved in the struggle against apartheid, she immigrated to Israel as a young woman. After her son was killed by a sniper while in the IDF reserves, she resolved not to let his death serve as a lever for stirring up calls for revenge and was instrumental in bringing together bereaved families from both sides. In the course of her campaign to spread the message of conciliation, she has travelled all over the world, speaking in synagogues, schools and even mosques, receiving a warm welcome wherever she goes.
The exhibition, which was curated by leading Israeli cartoonist Michel Kishka, was hosted by St Martin in the Fields church. The cartoons, most of them sharply critical of the impasse in the Middle East and the toll it has taken on human life, came from all over the world, though they all refrained from simply blaming one side or the other.
The Bereaved Families Forum (www.theparentscircle.org), which now numbers some 500 families, engages in educational activities to promote dialogue and understanding between the two communities through outreach to high schools on both sides, bi-national youth leaders' seminars, an internet reconciliation programme and workshops, and a phone line through which individuals can talk to someone on 'the other side'. Since 2002 it has facilitated over one million phone calls between Palestinians and Israelis.
In addition, a group of Israeli and Palestinian bereaved women was established in 2006. It meets several times a year, bringing into the Forum many new female members who feel more at ease with 'women only' activities. The women cook and travel together, hold empowerment workshops and visit one another's homes.
About 150 people attended the opening of the exhibition, which was sponsored by the UK Friends of the Forum, World Vision and Christian Aid, and has been displayed in New York, Spain, Italy, Israel and elsewhere. Moving speeches were made by Robi and her Palestinian counterpart, Seham Abu Awad, as well as addresses by the vicar of St Martin in the Fields and a rabbi. The vicar read out a message of support from the Archbishop of Canterbury and the rabbi passed on the good wishes of the Chief Rabbi.
My favourite cartoon was one by South African cartoonist Jonathan Zapiro. It showed terrorists wearing face-masks and keffiyas, Israeli soldiers in tanks, and soldiers from India and Pakistan beneath missiles, all stopping whatever militant or military action they were engaged in to focus on a TV set and raise their arms as they all stood side by side shouting 'Gooooal!'
The throng at the opening night inspected the cartoons, smiled at some and shook their heads at others. Everyone there was united in regretting the terrible waste of human life and resources that the conflict has produced. A calendar containing a selection of the cartoons as well as other literature went on sale and business was brisk, but the tragic bottom line is that the organisation's membership is still growing.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. Ending one of the nation's biggest manhunts without bloodshed, the last two escaped convicts from Texas left a hotel barechested and in handcuffs Wednesday after railing against the Texas criminal justice system in a TV interview.
Patrick Murphy Jr., 39, and Donald Newbury, 38, gave up after each was granted a five-minute telephone interview with KKTV in Colorado Springs. The surrender ended a frantic search that began exactly six weeks earlier when the pair and five others broke out of a Texas prison 800 miles away.
"They had their say by telephone and then we had them back out of the room, shirtless, hands in the air, no weapons on them," FBI agent Mark Mershon said. Inside the room, authorities said they found 10 handguns, two shotguns and ammunition.
Of the other inmates, four were arrested peacefully Monday in nearby Woodland Park and a fifth committed suicide as authorities closed in. Police said they had accounted for all 60 guns they believed the convicts had obtained since their Dec. 13 escape.
Texas authorities have said they will seek the death penalty against the men for the Christmas Eve slaying of a Dallas-area policeman during a holdup at a sporting goods store. His loaded gun was recovered from the convicts on Monday, police said.
The last two convicts had checked in Monday at the Holiday Inn, paying in cash and showing possibly false identification, hotel officials said. A suspicious employee called authorities.
Officers checking out the tip telephoned one room about 10 p.m. Tuesday and Murphy answered. "You got us. I don't know how you guys did it, but you got us," Deputy Police Chief Luis Velez quoted Murphy as saying.
Lt. Skip Arms added: "I think the officers were equally surprised when the individual said you found us."
After five hours of negotiations, the inmates gave up at 3:45 a.m.
During the interviews with a KKTV news anchorman, Newbury said the breakout was a statement against the Texas judicial system.
"The system is as corrupt as we are. You going to do something about us, well, do something about that system, too," said Newbury, who was serving a 99-year sentence for armed robbery.
Murphy, who was serving 50 years for rape, said he was up for parole but felt he would have been given unfair parole requirements that would have landed him back in prison.
"Hopefully, like I said, this will open up some people's eyes that the penal system does have some problems with it," he said.
The seven convicts bluffed their way out of the prison in Kenedy, Tex., reportedly stealing 16 guns and ammunition. Eleven days later, authorities say, the group stole more guns and cash from an Irving, Texas, sporting goods store and killed police officer Aubrey Hawkins when he arrived.
Hawkins was shot 11 times and run over by a vehicle, heightening fears the men would not surrender peacefully.
The group arrived in Colorado during the last week in December, authorities said. They spent time in Pueblo, 100 miles south of Denver, before renting a space for a motor home in the Coachlight Motel and RV Park in Woodland Park, 20 miles from here, about Jan. 1.
The convicts led the RV park manager and neighbors to believe they were Christian missionaries. The men much hid in plain sight, frequenting a coffee shop and going to nightclubs.
"We joked about it often, but it really was just by downplaying ourselves and changing our hair color and such," Murphy said. "We attempted to be as friendly and neighborly as we could."
The other escaped convicts were captured after the owners of the Coachlight recognized their photos on the Web site of TV's "America's Most Wanted."
Authorities believe Murphy and Newbury split from the others last weekend because they wanted to obtain more money. On Tuesday, authorities found their van abandoned in a parking lot two blocks from the hotel where they were arrested.
Newbury told KKTV that the inmates tried to avoid violence throughout their 42-day escape, beginning with the breakout.
"We hurt the officers very little, only the ones that resisted. It could have been a bloodbath," he said.
In Irving, police spokesman David Tull scoffed at the men's claims: "Officer Hawkins was the victim. We buried the victim."
In an interview with The Associated Press, Hawkins' mother, Jayne Hawkins, said: "Now we can get down to business and get some changes in this lousy Texas penal system. My son will not die in vain."
The inmates arrested Monday were suspected ringleader George Rivas, 30, convicted of aggravated robbery and kidnapping; Michael Rodriguez, 38, and Joseph Garcia, 29, both convicted murderers, and Randy Halprin, 23, who was serving time for beating an infant.
All four were being held at the Teller County Jail in Divide pending transfer to Texas. Murphy and Newbury made an initial court appearance Wednesday and face another hearing Monday.
FBI agent Greg Groves said authorities and residents were relieved the ordeal was over: "This whole community has just been scared to death."

New York will get a New Year's Twerkin' Eve in Times Square.
Before the ball drops, "Wrecking Ball" singer Miley Cyrus will perform on ABC's "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest" along with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Blondie and Icona Pop.
"You've got a sampling of everything that's happened culturally over the last year," said Times Square Alliance president Tim Tompkins.
More than a million people are expected to squeeze into Times Square to ring in 2014. The weather calls for chilling temperatures as low as 22 degrees, with a high of 30 degrees on Tuesday.
For revelers who want to avoid frigid temperatures, there will be a live webcast available at Times SquareNYC.org, livestream.com and TimesSquareBall.net.
Melissa Etheridge, who will perform her new song "Uprising of Love," will play out 2013 with a rendition of John Lennon's "Imagine." The Times Square New Year's Eve celebration hosted by Allison Hagendorf kicks off at 6 p.m. with a lively Chinese cultural performance presented by the Sino-American Friendship Association.
Musical events also include a USO Show Troupe, country singer Rodney Atkins on Fox News Channel's "All American New Year," and singers Jencarlos Canela and El Dasa on Univision's "¡Feliz 2014!"
During 2013's final hour, The Associated Press will recount in a news reel the year's most important and memorable events.
"It's about tapping into where we've been, where we've gone and where we're going and to celebrate the good things in life, no matter how crazy the world is," Tompkins said of the Times Square celebration.
In a poll the AP conducted with the Times Square Alliance, nearly half of Americans anticipate that 2014 will be better than this year, though more than a third of people did not expect much of a difference.
"This is a time when people take a pause and look forward with a sense of hope even if they've had a tough year," Tompkins said.

Shoplifting At Wal-Mart
According to NY Times accounts, Wal-Mart has decided to cut shoplifters a bit of slack. If you're under 18 or over 65, and try to swipe merchandise under $25 (and it's your first time being caught by Wal-Mart security), they'll give you a tough lecture and send you packing. Why the generosity? The article suggests – and this is surely true – that the local infrastructure (i.e., the cops and local prosecutors) don't like to foot the bill for enforcing shoplifting laws. This raises some interesting questions. First, should shoplifting be a crime? Probably, if only because if allowed to grow, it would (in aggregate) devastate retailing. Second, who should bear the cost of shoplifting enforcement? Perhaps the right answer is the retailer. Offenders are the logical payors, but they are often too poor to bear actual costs. And while society at large could pay the cost (and does, right now), it seems to me that it would be easier to impose the tax on the retailer. Why? Because, in many respects, the retailer is in the best position to reduce theft. Cameras, good layout, ever-present security all help reduce attempted thefts. If stores see that they save more than mere shrinkage by stopping shoplifting, perhaps they'll introduce those preventive steps.
In my experience, shoplifting cases are a major source of docket junk in criminal courts. DA's typically don't care much about them. The victims – and there are real victims – are mostly corporations, and these corporations don't get exercised like other victims. To the DA, the company's face is the security guard who shows up to testify – and he or she is usually a low-paid worker bee who doesn't much care the outcome of the case.
Sounds to me like Wal-Mart is just trying to get along better with the local community. Perhaps they should talk to Target, a leader in the national fight against crime, for tips.
