Asphalt shortage detours road repairs
- |
SEATTLE - Expect a bumpier drive. An asphalt shortage is delaying road maintenance projects nationwide. Asphalt is becoming scarce as US refiners overhaul their equipment to maximize output of highly profitable fuels such as diesel and gasoline, using inexpensive - and hard to process - crude oil.
To make things worse, refiners are also cutting back on production of a petrochemical that many states mix into asphalt to make roads more durable.
Dozens of road repairs were delayed last summer, and municipalities around the country may face another shortfall next summer. Road-maintenance projects that have gone forward cost significantly more, as the price of asphalt nearly tripled over the past year.
In Utah, as many as 50 road projects were delayed this summer by the asphalt shortage - including one for a highway that leads to one of the state's top tourist spots, Park City and its skiing resorts. Those delays add millions of dollars of extra costs, including labor.
"It strains an already strained budget," said Jim McMinimee, of the Utah Department of Transportation.
Municipalities in Alaska, New York, Colorado, Oklahoma, Idaho, Wyoming, Arizona, Nevada, and Washington state also blamed road work delays on asphalt shortages.
In the past, about 40 percent of an oil barrel would be turned into asphalt products; now it's around 10 percent, McMinimee said.
Some states, including Colorado, have responded to the problem by reducing the amount of asphalt required to be poured on a street. Others have changed the chemical requirements of the asphalt they use.
Usually, these methods lead to a shorter life-span for the roads, said Ben Teplitz, who is a specialist on asphalt for Platts, a trade publication.
At the beginning of the year, a ton of asphalt was selling for about $300.
At one point the price rose above $800 per ton.

BLUE RAPIDS — Any type of business in a small town is a good thing, says Joyce Blaske.
So after turning the empty business block in downtown Barnes into a thriving enterprise, she moved on down K-9 highway and helped set up a similar shop in Marshall County.
The Blue Rapids Mercantile offers an ever-changing array of antiques and other collectible merchandise from independent vendors along with new books by Kansas authors, original photographs, jams, jellies and handmade jewelry. Oh, yes, there are also soaps and dried-flower arrangements made by a granddaughter and grandmother.
Then, there is the museum exhibit.
Lori Parker, who is Blaske's partner in the mercantile, is vice president of the Blue Rapids Historical Society.
"Joyce and I had been talking about bringing a business to the community," Parker said. She wanted it to be a gathering place for the community, too.
So the back of the store is dedicated to a historical display that includes artifacts loaned by area residents.
"When we did wars, we got a wedding dress made out of a parachute," Parker said. A display on storms brought in a letter that was written after tornadoes struck the area in the late 1800s.
The current exhibit has American Indian artifacts and memorabilia.
The mercantile concept started when Blaske moved to Washington County from Illinois in 1992. She said she bought the business block in Barnes with the idea that she would fix it up and sell it.
She thought it would be easier to sell if it had some sort of business up and running, so she invited local crafters to sell there on weekends.
Blaske said she then invited vendors whose products were selling to leave their items through the week to be sold on consignment. And the mercantile was born.
It gave Blaske a venue for selling her jams and jellies, which are made from fruit that comes from the farm she and her husband, Dick, operate. She also created an elderberry concentrate that tastes good — it has locally produced honey among its ingredients.
"It really helps to stretch the farm income," she said. "And our goal is to stay on the farm."
The clientele at the mercantile is mostly local, Blaske said. Vendors bring visiting family and friends in to shop.
"It's bringing money into the community, and (the money's) staying in the community," Parker said.
The commissions from the vendors cover the utilities.
"Nobody's carrying the whole load," Blaske said
Parker works at the shop when she isn't at her full-time job, and her husband, Tom, also works the register. His book, "Dispatches from Kansas," can be found on the shelves, and his photographs are on the walls for sale along with photos taken by Blaske.
She does custom matting of artwork and photos, too.
"It's as much a show as it is a shop," Blaske said.

Columbia County authorities arrested on drugs and weapons charges a driver who had led deputies on a chase Friday afternoon in Martinez.
Shortly before 2 p.m., Columbia and Richmond county deputies went to the home of Joshua David Chosewood, 22, of Old Trail Road West, after receiving a tip about methamphetamine, said Columbia County sheriff's Staff Sgt. Mike Williamson.
Even before the deputies approached him, Chosewood got in his Pontiac Vibe and drove away at speeds up to 100 mph, Williamson said.
As other deputies joined the chase, Chosewood took Flowing Wells Road to Columbia Road, and was seen throwing several items out of his window, Williamson said.
Chosewood eventually drove into Hillbrook neighborhood and into the driveway of his mother's home on Forest Drive, where he was taken into custody.
About 2 grams of methamphetamine and a handgun were among the items Chosewood threw from his vehicle, Williamson said.
He has been charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and he has two active warrants for parole violations, Williamson said.
No one was injured in the chase, but Chosewood's vehicle hit several items, including mailboxes and trash cans, during the chase.
Investigators were searching Chosewood's home, and more charges could be forthcoming, Williamson said.

I really need sleep help. Should I get a professional ?(47 Posts)
My almost 9mth old is driving me crazy. She won't sleep unless on me ( bf) or in car/ pram. This is ok ish if she went off easily but recently she hasn't. So far today since 7am I've spent 4hrs trying to get her off for naps. Tonight's bedtime will be similar.
I really don't want and can't let her CIO. I think I need some professional help as I'm on the edge. My marriage is suffering not helped that she screams blue murder if my husband attends her at these times
Can anyone recommend anyone to help me ( like the bAby whisper woman ) ???
I've tried dummies pantley pull off and other things. I am not inexperienced as I have another daughter who is seriously suffering with no time with me.
I need help before my marriage fails and my PND gets worse pre return to work.
Pantley pull off probably needs more effort. At the moment and on previous tries it makes her cross.
Julia - my first one was and is a sleeper so it makes it doubly hard as we know how it can be! She is a model child tho we didn't know it at the time!!
A lot of friends believe in CIO so it comes up a lot in chats. "Just let her cry"
We've just used Andrea Grace for our 9 month old who was waking hourly. He now (usually) sleeps from 6/7pm til 5-5.30am. I can thoroughly recommend. Nothing she suggests is rocket science but having a 'plan' to stick to and having someone to answer questions / reassure was invaluable.
Thanks lovely
Good to hear positive reviews!
Oh I so feel for you! My LO is 8 months and has always been an awful sleeper. I have spent days on end with my NCT friends whose little ones would fall asleep so easily and thought 1 night waking was bad. I sat there and just thought, and still do, why me! I spent 4 months walking my LO to sleep in the pram all through the winter, even in heavy snow and rain which was so depressing and exhausting. She would wake if the pram stopped so it was non stop walking for hours on end. Nights were terrible as well as she would wake every 1-2hrs.
The nights got better when I tackled the day naps, which meant more walking! I know this would be tricky for you if it takes so long for her to drop off. The real breakthrough I had during the day was lullabies. I went to a Baby Sensory lesson and they played rock a by baby with the lights low and for the first time in her life my LO began to nod off on my lap. That's when I decided to recreate it at home and bought a CD by CRS Players called Baby Lullabies. First of all I would put her down in her pram, rocking her to start with and then laying her down, it took a whole but eventually she slept. I then transitioned to cot and it gradually started to work, and she also started to take the dummy. I rocked her in a darkened room to try and relax her before putting her down.
Having said all of this we are now going through the 9 month sleep regression slightly early and she is back to waking every 1- hrs2 at night - when will it ever end! I literally can't imagine sleeping an entire night ever again.
Take care....
Haven't had chancw to read whole thread OP but i really sympathise with you, have been in that situation with my DD, and I remember months 8 & 9 being particularly tough. I'm sorry i haven't got much advice, just to say trust your instincts. I refused to do CIO despite a lot of well meant
pressure advice, simply because I strongly felt that technique wasn't right for her, that her problem was something other than not knowing how to self settle. She was later diagnosed as having a cows milk protein allergy and when we took steps to help her with that, her sleep improved massively. She doesn't need me or continual motion to stay asleep! I was very lucky to have DH full support, if you're struggling with pnd & marital stress too, perhaps your Gp could review situation and see if there is any medical reason for the sleep probs.
Thanks for the latest posts and sympathy. It would be ok as occasional issues but not every night.
Hang in there my ds has always been an atrocious sleeper, every day was unpredictable even tho i tried to stay in routine ( and got so much criticism for it from my DP!!!) i thought i would die from sleep dep... But finally 2weeks before his 1st birthday he finally got it and started STTN!!
He doesn't sleep thru always cos he is still a terrible napper which then affects his night wakings ESP is daddy has put him to bed too late (happens all the time), but majority of time now he will actually self settle after i spend time calming him first.
Night weaning def helped, but he has a dummy and security toy which have helped immensely too... It will get better but that 8/9 mth period was horrendous!!!!!!
I used Andrea Grace too, she was fabulous, after a month DS started sleeping through and has done ever since
Although some children can just sleep and others can't, I do think things we do can make them worse sleepers. Eg I ALWAYS fed DS to sleep and by 6 months plus this became a real bind as he woke every hour and could not get back to sleep without feeding again. We gently taught him to get to sleep on his own (no CIO) and it worked a treat.
Good luck. Go to Andrea!
Hi there, soo hard when you're not getting much sleep. Strain on everything. What are you current nights looking like (do you feed during the night)? What is your bedtime routine?
I'd suggest, if she is getting plenty of solids and milk during the day, you need to break the habit of night feeds. When she cries during the night go through to her, try to not pick her up, rather stroke her head, encourage special soft toy or comforter or dummy and shush-pat. Controlled crying would be when you say good night and leave at this point, even if still upset, returning and repeating every 2-5 mins. This worked wonders for us within a few days for both our boys, however it sounds like you may not be comfortable with this. Gradual retreat is when you do similar but stay in the room rather than leave. This does take longer since they can see you there but has similar effects.
It is going to be tough trying to break any sleeping patterns or feeding habits for her without any crying at all.... Try to remember, teaching her healthy sleeping patterns is for her good and you own sanity in the long run.
If she is not napping well during the day, she is probably overtired at bedtime which will probably mean she takes longer to settle. I'd suggest similar shush-pat/gradual retreat method in quiet dark room for nap times, with first nap attempt about 2 hours after waking in the morning. Aim for nap 2 after lunch. If you can, aim to at least be home for nap 1 in the morning.
Millpond really helped us. Our DS is now 17 months old, asks us to go to bed and (most nights) sleeps 11 hours and he used to be a terrible sleeper.
If you need help don't be afraid to ask for it, it doesn't make you a bad mum
I feel for you too! At around 9 months I was despairing with my DD. We used a local sleep nurse and to be honest it wasn't rocket science, I knew a lot of what she taught me already, but it gave me the confidence to tackle sleep in a calm manner. We were also breastfeeding to sleep, waking every hour and only napping on my lap.
A couple of tips - my DD was taking so much milk at night she wasn't eating properly during the day. We had to tackle food (not giving as much milk) as part of the training. It was a progression from not feeding before say 2 am, to completely cutting out night feeds, but very gradual. I had to use other ways to get her to sleep - first rocking, then patting in her cot, then just a hand on tummy, then leaving the room entirely. I was also opposed to CIO but did have to realise that there would be some crying involved.
The sleep nurse wasn't a magic over night solution for us but I did feel more confident and having a structured approach was comforting. I could chat to her and spare my husband some of the fussing. It's just so hard when you're really tired. Hope you get some respite soon, it won't last forever.
Sleep consultant was money very well spent for me, twice! I used the Baby Sleep Clinic, Naturally Nurturing nearly seven years ago and Natural Sleep Solutions in Leeeds nearly four years ago.
The big things were breaking the link between feeding and sleep, so feeding before bath then shush patting and gradually reducing intervention (we had a lot of intervention!!! Shush pat sounds so tame compared to what we had to go through!!)
Next was stopping night feeds leading to better eating during the day and more routine feeding / eating and day time napping which was very hard.
I must also say that DS2 has a very unsettled constitution, had terrible eczema, horrific bowels and produced a lot of mucus. We are still unraveling a lot of this and it has a huge impact on sleep. Cutting out food triggers, identifying products (most recently his swimming costume and most bizarrely, toothpaste) all helps with his sleep. This may not be at all relevant to your DD but sometimes sleep is not as simple as setting a routine and being firm though the sleep consultant did give us strategies that were successful.
I contacted the HV and basically said I was at my wit's end, they referred me to a sleep specialist free of charge although it took a couple of months to come through. DS was 13 months by the time we saw them, and it was amazing! I told them from the start I wasn't willing to do CC or CIO so was offered different solutions, and a weekly appointment to see how it was coming along.
rockchick interested to hear more about the methods you used?
I've got an appt with andrea grace tomorrow. Just as well because I'm at my wits f'**king end.
We are now teething to add insult to injury.
In a heated discussion my H told me it was my fault she doesn't sleep because i go to her when she cries.
Ok ready to be completely flamed here but why the aversion to using CC?
You are at your wits end, your relationship with your DH is at breaking point and you sound seriously sleep deprived which is not good for you or either of you or your children.
If you are consistent it takes three nights and you will all be a lot happier - including baby
White noise helped both of my rubbish sleepers to settle. I would also go in and lay my hand on their backs, but not pick them up as it made them worse. So I felt I was not abandoning them, but still teaching them that they weren't going to get taken out of the cot every time they cried. DS (3) still wakes about once a night, but usually just for water and is good at settling again.
Adding my sympathy! Your LO sounds just like our DD was.
We used the child sleep company, (i would recommend them) started about three weeks ago, now have regular naps with no stress, and one feed over night (my choice to keep it for now)
It's all so much less time consuming now. It was basically a gradual withdrawal technique, I couldn't do CIO, but we were seeing big results after two nights.
It helped me to remember that what crying there was, was mostly protest - of course she'd rather snuggle on boob, but I honestly felt I was holding her back by not letting her learn to get to sleep herself, as she was sleep deprived too (she has about two hours more sleep every day now, and is happier for it).
So I treated it like I would a toddler screaming for chocolate for breakfast, or vaccinations: DCs don't always like our choices, but we have to do what's best for them.
If she's waking up crying I would consider cranial osteopathy if I were you. Fixed my DD's sleep after 22 months of hell.
Hi - thought I would update this.
First domestic - we've had regular cranial treatments which hasn't helped really though it definitely does something.
So the update ..I had a session with Andrea Grace. She confirmed what I knew which was that the feeding to sleep was the issue. She did a plan for me to sit with her until she went to sleep and to not feed to sleep any more.
First night - with my constant attention she took an hr to go to sleep. Then a further hour for one night waking (that was tough as she was mega cross).
Second night - asleep in 20mins. One night waking for 15 mins
Third night - asleep in 40mins. A few waking after that during the evening but all v short. Nothing else til morning
Fourth night - asleep in 10 mins. No night waking except very brief stir when I went to check her at 10.30pm. Woke at 5.15am. So basically 7pm-5am
I've also stopped feeding to sleep for naps and she is doing great with that too.... so far.
It's still v early days and the next step is leaving the room whilst she is awake but its been surprisingly un-stressful for all of us. In fact the nights of unsuccessful feeding to sleep were dreadful and much worse.
Still not out of the woods but a massive improvement since Friday.
I have an eight month son who didn't sleep more than two and a half hours at a time. I was absolutely exhausted. This was my second child and I felt I should know what to do. Eventually, by complete chance, I bumped into an ex midwife who now is a private maternity nurse and I got her help. I couldn't carry on any longer not sleeping. She came for three nights and transformed my life. Worth her weight in gold. Now my son sleeps for eight/nine hours at a time.
Don't suffer like I did. Get some help now. Maxine has a wealth of experience. She's affordable, thoroughly trustworthy, totally dedicated, calm, relentlessly positive and most important of all - she'll get your baby to sleep. I promise.
Check out her website: www.peacefulbabiesmaternitycare.com or contact me for a personal recommendation.
Not got long but couldnt read and run. Cannot recommend the Baby Whisperer enough. Like you, I was a prop for my baby getting to sleep - had to bounce her for aaaages to get to sleep , then she'd wake up crying not able to go back to sleep because the only way she knew to get to sleep was bouncing (or pram/car movement).
Get the BW book - cant remember exact title but subtitle is "Tricks to getting your baby to sleep through the night". It's a v short book. Day and night sleep is linked - it will explain how. Give yourself time to read and understand it, especially the section about Pick Up Put Down method and props. Also read about the importance of having routine/order to their day. Then, once you feel prepared, do PUPD and DO NOT GIVE IN. It's not harsh like CIO but neither is it a namby pamby method. It us no overstatement to say it changed my life. Within 3days, I had a 6 month old who could nod off by herself and have loooong,quality sleeps. It teaches your baby independence while knowing that mummy/daddy is there if they need them.

Be a Data Center Superhero with CPI Aisle Containment Solutions
Rescue lost power and cooling in your data center
Aug 26, 2013, 11:12 ET from Chatsworth Products, Inc.
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Aug. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Chatsworth Products (CPI) can show you how to get a quicker ROI and avoid spending $5-$25 million on a new data center by choosing an Aisle Containment Solution.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130826/CL69335)
30 to 50 percent of data centers will run out of power and cooling within the next year, and an average of four times more cooling will be used than is actually required by the IT load. By using airflow containment, you can recapture stranded or lost capacity and prolong the life of your infrastructure. In fact, new standards demand airflow containment as a minimum baseline for any data center efficiency endeavor, such as the ASHRAE 90.1 initiative.
Aisle Containment is becoming the new standard solution for data centers because:
- It is the first step to achieving energy savings.
- It adds life to an existing data center.
- It makes better use of air supply.
CPI offers unique methods of containment to address architectural and business variables in your data center, resulting in financial savings and a more efficient facility.
Defend and extend the life of your data center and become a Data Center Superhero.
To find out how you can add more computing capacity and gain up to twelve years of extended life out of your data center cooling capacity, read CPI Global Technology Manager, Ian Seaton's White Paper titled, "Extend the Life of Your Data Center" at http://www.chatsworth.com/data-center-superhero/.

Uruguay: Pulp Factions: Uruguays Environmentalists v. Big Paper
Christmas Eve 2002, Alfredo Bazzini went to draw water from the family well in Las Flores, a small farming town in western Uruguay. What he found was that the water his family depended on for drinking, cooking, washing, and farming had dried up. "It wasnt only my well that didnt have any water, all of the wells in town, even the deepest, were empty, and nobody knew what to do," Bazzini recalls. For the residents of Las Flores in the department (province) of Paysandú, this was the climax to a desperate story that began some two years earlier, when the water level in local wells dropped by up to 60 percent. And kept dropping."When it rained the wells filled up almost to the top, but then the water level would drop to even lower than it had been before," said Bazzini. With no way to bring water in from outside, townspeople watched helplessly as their watermelons and peanuts -- the mainstay crops of the local economy -- began to dry up, too. Eucalyptus as Far as the Eye Can SeeThe culprit, it turns out, is the Eucalyptus tree, or rather the large-scale plantations run by international corporations that are spreading across Uruguay. The tree farms are heavily fertilized by tax subsidies from the federal government and aid from such international financial institutions as the World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank. Las Flores lies just three kilometers east of Piedras Coloradas, the main town in a region that has been afflicted by a growing water shortage since becoming a favored location for this lucrative new crop. Other settlements in the region are also suffering the impact of eucalyptus plantations. The forestry companies are buying up more and more land and the eucalyptus forests are now spreading up to the very doors of the small towns and villages," commented fruit grower David Kertesz. That is what happened at Las Flores. "At first the plantations were far away, but little by little they kept moving closer," Bazzini reported. "When they reached to just a few meters out of town, the water ran out and the land died." "That Christmas Eve we hit rock bottom," Bazzini recounted. "The little water left was gone, and it never came back." The 40 local families who lived off the land were forced to leave everything behind and move away. Only five houses remained occupied. Today, Las Flores is known as Pueblo Seco, "Dry Town." The phenomenon is being repeated throughout the plantation region. Downstream from the San Francisco creek near Piedras Coloradas, local residents no longer have enough water to raise cattle. Nearby, in the village of Colonia 19 de Abril, 25 to 30 meter wells have dried up, and so has most of the surrounding marshland, said Augusto Sande, a farm produce transporter. Now, "to find water you have to dig a well at least 60 meters deep, which costs $4,000, and almost none of the farmers have that kind of money," remarked Sande. Native to Australia, the eucalyptus is ideal for pulpwood production: It grows quickly and is accomplished at scavenging large amounts of water at the expense of other plants. Foreign-owned large-scale plantations of the fragrant trees now occupy more than 700,000 hectares (2,700 square miles) in Uruguay, estimates María Selva Ortiz of the REDES- member of the Friends of the Earth non-governmental environmental network.Botnia of Finland has planted trees on 60,000 hectares (232 square miles) of prime land, while ENCE of Spain already owns 50,000 hectares (183 square miles) and plans to purchase even more, according to Ricardo Carrere, spokesperson for local environmental group Guayabira. But some in the halls of government, the ivory tower, and on the ground question the development. Uruguayan Agriculture Minister José Mujica has publicly called for limiting monoculture tree plantations, to prevent further degradation of the soil and exhaustion of the countrys water supply. Máximo DAtri, an independent researcher notes that "In all of the locations where there is eucalyptus monoculture forestry, the water supply is running out, and in the areas near these forests, the arable land has suffered irreversible deterioration." And two farm workers who have watched the deterioration first-hand agree. "The more eucalyptus trees they plant, the less water we have. Things are going from bad to worse," said Aníbal Sosa and Mario Díaz Suarez.
That the companies owning the plantations had ambitions in that direction "was established when it was discovered that the main companies involved in this forestry activity were controlled by pulp and paper producers or had been operated with the pre-agreed intent of selling the forested areas to corporations in the industry, which has in fact happened in many cases," said DAtri.Clear-Cutting JobsMuch of the Uruguayan economic and governmental leadership supports the project and is actively encouraging this agro-industrial project, activist Ortiz told CorpWatch. They argue that the mills will provide jobs. According to the companies estimates, the two mills together will provide some 600 direct and permanent jobs. Botnia adds that over the next 11 years, its mill will generate another 6,500 indirect jobs such as planting and harvesting on the tree plantations and transporting the trees to the mills. ENCE, which will produce 500,000 tons of pulp annually, talks about similar job creation. Currently, some 460 people-- mostly from Fray Bentos and mostly working for subcontractors-- have jobs building of the mills for about $12 a day. But Delia Villalba of the Movement for Life, Work and Sustainable Development, a local group formed in Fray Bentos, predicts that in the small port city of 24,000 inhabitants, pollution caused by the mills will decrease the number of jobs by destroying tourism, beekeeping, farming, artisanal fishing, and the dairy industries, which, after the civil service sector, are the towns main sources of employment.And increasingly as construction speeds up, locals are also facing competition for jobs from hundreds of unemployed workers attracted to the region. "They come from other departments and also from Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay with the hope of getting hired to work on the construction of the plants," said Villalba, "but there are very few jobs available, and most end up leaving empty-handed." Don't Drink the WaterMeanwhile Stolkin charges that pulp plants run by Botnia and ENCE, will spew contaminants. The use of chlorine dioxide to bleach the pulp creates dioxins and furans. These organochlorines are two of the 12 chemical compounds specifically targeted for elimination under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), as the WRM has stressed. They have been shown to weaken the immune system and have been implicated in birth defects, hormonal imbalances, neurological disorders, infertility, and diabetes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies dioxin as a potential human carcinogen. Since the manufacture of pulp requires large amounts of water that is used and then disposed of, pulp mills around the world are typically cited on waterways. The Botnia and ENCE plants in the western Uruguayan city of Fray Bentos sit on the Uruguay River, which forms part of the border between Uruguay and Argentina. The Botnia mill alone, which will produce a million tons of pulp annually, will dump the same amount of wastewater into the river as that generated by a city of 100,000, according to the estimates of local environmentalists. Botnia spokesperson Faroppa, however, insists that the water taken from the Uruguay River will be so thoroughly treated before being dumped back that it will be even cleaner than it was to begin with. But if as critics claim, the mills are releasing dioxins and furans, the consequences will be both long-lasting and far-reaching: Dioxins and furans travel long distances through the air and water, take a decade or more to break down, and can have toxic effects even in tiny quantities. They also accumulate in the fatty tissue of living organisms and have been shown to biomagnify, meaning that they increase in concentration the higher up the food chain they move, according to medical reports cited by the Argentine branch of Greenpeace. Pregnant women can pass these toxins directly to the fetus through the placenta, particularly during the first nine weeks of pregnancy, says Argentine oncologist Ada Rossi Guffanti. Nor are dioxin and furans the only contaminants associated with pulp production. Carlos Pérez Arrarte, an ecological economics professor and researcher at the University of the Republic predicts that the mills will also release into the river some 600 kilograms of nitrogen and 60 kilograms of phosphorus on a daily basis. Argentine oncologist Ada Rossi Guffanti warns that the chlorate also released by pulp processing kills fish and plants. According to Arrarte, the Botnia mills effluents -- including 43 tons of organic matter daily -- will seriously affect biodiversity and the sustainability of the rivers flora and fauna.The mills claim that these warnings are based on out-dated technology and data. The most widely used pulp bleaching technique in the world todayand the one used by Botnia and ENCE is Elemental Chlorine-free, or ECF. While cleaner than older technologies, it still releases dioxins, furans and other toxic substances. Safer yet is Totally Chlorine-Free (TCF) process which uses oxygen-based compounds instead of chlorine-based compounds.Botnia has chosen not to go with this cleaner technology in its Uruguayan mills, says agricultural engineer Carlos Faroppa. The Botnia spokesperson says that the decision was based not on cost, but on quality and effectiveness. The oxygen-based "TCF is hardly used around the world because the technology has not continued to advance," he said. "The fibers it produces cannot be used to manufacture quality paper."But Botnia does, in fact, use TCF technology at its pulp mill in Rauma, Finland, according to Arrarte. The company has not denied or confirmed this version. Botnia and ENCEs choice of the less safe process means that "Every day, millions of liters of wastewater will be dumped into the river, which will degrade it," Fray Bento activist Delia Villalba told CorpWatch.And Don't Breathe the AirIt is not just the water, but the air, too, that is affected by pulp mills. The large quantities of reduced sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide produce a potent "rotten egg smell" for kilometers around, commented biologist Oscar Galli, one of 60 scientists who sent the Uruguayan government an open letter opposing the pulp mills. Epidemiological studies show that prolonged exposure to these foul-smelling sulfur compounds increases the risk of acute respiratory infections. While placing little importance on the health impact of this stench, Botnia itself admits that many people "will stop engaging in outdoor activities in the area around the plant" and avoid nearby public spaces. But Botnia spokesperson Faroppa stressed that the mills emissions will contain the lowest possible levels of pollutants, thanks to strict controls that comply with the standards imposed in the European Union, "which are more demanding than those of the United States," and monitored by experts from the company itself, the municipal and federal governments, and the University of the Republic. Indeed, Uruguayan President Tabaré Vázquez has pledged that the mills will be rigorously monitored to ensure that they meet with national environmental protection standards. "We are going to be very strict. Uruguay is one of the countries that puts the most effort into fighting pollution and it will not allow any violations of the rules established for this purpose," he declared. Nevertheless, environmentalists doubt that the Uruguayan government will be able to exercise sufficiently strict control over the 24-hour-a-day industrial operations of two pulp sector giants like Botnia and ENCE. This degree of monitoring would require not only training enough qualified staff, but also making a significant investment in infrastructure for equipment to measure pollutants.The National Environment Office (DINAMA), the federal government agency responsible for monitoring the companies, is still not equipped to exercise the complex and thorough controls needed. "The DINAMA technicians obviously dont have the experience," chemical engineer Ignacio Stolkin told CorpWatch. "They are very capable, but this is something new for them, and it will take them time to learn." For now, they dont even have the required equipment. "It is inconceivable that [effective monitoring] could be achieved in the medium term in our country, given that, for example, a single dioxin-measuring device costs around $300,000," says Guayubira. Foreign Fertilizer
The plantations and mills, meanwhile, enjoy powerful and richly funded backers. Large-scale eucalyptus plantations were introduced in Uruguay in 1988, promoted mainly by the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), with the active participation of forestry companies. At the time, the price of pulpwood on the world market was $60 a ton, and demand was high, says Raúl Zibechi, a professor and researcher at the Franciscan Multiversity of Latin America. International financial agencies were facing increasing criticism over the destruction of the planets tropical rainforests as indiscriminate logging of trees for pulp production around the world, was consuming 15 million hectares (58,000 square miles) annually. New sources were needed and Uruguay, chosen from the climate-controlled offices in distant world capitals, seemed an ideal candidate for monoculture pulpwood production. Montevideo pledged full compliance and provided forestry companies with generous subsidies, soft credits, and tax exemptions. Over 12 years, the Uruguayan governments support for this sector exceeded $500 million in tax exemptions and direct disbursements, an amount representing almost 4 percent of the countrys annual GDP. To facilitate the transportation and export of the wood, the governments of the day made further investments in new ports, bridges, roads, and railway lines.So far, owing to low world market prices for pulpwood, the promised economic gains from export have failed to materialize. By citing the pulp mills near the plantations the corporations hoped ti increase profitability. The pulp project will be partially financed by the World Bank, which will grant each of the foreign companies involved a $200 million loan. Botnia and ENCE will invest a combined $1.8 billion in the two mills, making this the largest direct private investment ever in the countrys history, according to figures released by Minister of the Economy Danilo Astori and Minister of Industry Jorge Lepra. Much of the Uruguayan economic and governmental leadership, supports the project and is actively encouraging this agro-industrial project, activist Ortiz told CorpWatch. Big Paper ProtestHow much of that increased profit will go to Uruguay is in dispute. With 80 percent of the money going abroad the purchase of equipment and machinery abroad, Botnia and ENCE will actually spend only 20 percent in Uruguay, according representatives of the companies. Also in doubt is how much will flow to those at the lower end of Uruguays economy. Local groups fear that while benefits of the projects concentrate in the foreign and local elites, most Uruguayans will reap only lost jobs, farm land, housing, and health. Charging that pulp mills cause "serious environmental damage that poses great danger to peoples health and lives." Guayubira, REDES-Friends of the Earth and other groups have launched a major campaign specifically targeted against the mills currently under construction.The campaign has spread to Gualeguaychú, Argentina, which sits across the Uruguay River from Fray Bentos. Residents of Gualeguaychú are also concerned about the health and environmental effects of the effluents that the mills will dumped into the shared river. As in Uruguay, Gualeguaychús opposition to the mills has been spearheaded by a growing environmental movement, with strong support from trade unions and other social organizations. The Citizens Environmental Assembly of Gualeguaychú has joined with their Uruguayan counterparts to organize public protests. They are getting support from officials in Argentina. In October 2005, the governor of Entre Ríos, Jorge Busti, sparked a diplomatic incident when he told the Argentine press that Botnia and ENCE had distributed "incentives" among unnamed members of the current Uruguayan government to gain their approval for the construction of the plants. In response, the companies stated that they had given a $10,000 donation to every Uruguayan political party during the 2004 election campaign, but roundly denied the allegations of bribery implicit in the governors statements. In any case, when the new leftist Uruguayan government took office in March, it immediately ratified the authorization for the new mills originally granted by the previous conservative administration. Some critics also charge that Botnia and ENCE negotiated a sweetheart deal with Montevideo which conceded duty-free zones that will allow the companies to import and export without paying taxes. "If everything comes in and goes out without them having to pay, what does Uruguay get out of it?" asks chemical engineer Stolkin.On April 30, some 35,000 protestors from Argentina and Uruguay occupied the international bridge that links Fray Bentos to Gualeguaychú for a massive demonstration against Botnia and ENCE. Numerous other joint protests have been held since then, including one involving thousands of schoolchildren from the Argentine city of Entre Ríos, and more are planned for the coming weeks. Tensions between Argentina and Uruguay are also heating up at the diplomatic level. On September 16, provincial governor Busti - in coordination with Argentine President Néstor Kirchner -- filed a complaint against the mill construction projects with the World Bank. Their request that the bank cancel its line of credit to Botnia and ENCE fueled friction between the two nations.Financing for the projects had been frozen until the International Finance Corporation, which manages the World Banks private sector investment program, completed an environmental and social impact study. Released in January, it found that the plants dont cause substantial environmental damage to the river.The campaign being waged by local environmentalists took on greater urgency after President Tabaré Vázquez took office in March and Swedish-Finnish forestry giant Stora Enso expressed interest in installing yet another pulp mill in Uruguay. "Stora Enso is already buying up land for forestry," warned Carrere. "It wants to acquire a total of 100,000 hectares to plant trees that it will convert to pulp for paper production. This will further reinforce the monoculture-pulp mills model, which drives out productive activities, causes serious environmental problems, and forces rural populations off their lands."

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., March 8 (UPI) -- A woman's body packed in dry ice was found at an upscale Southern California hotel, police said.
Newport Beach police found the fully clothed body in a rubber or plastic container while searching a room at the swanky Fairmont Hotel after making a drug bust, the Los Angeles Times reported.
"It's very odd," police spokesman Sgt. Evan Sailor was quoted as saying. "It's not normal; it's a little weird."
Police say they know nothing about the body, not even who she is or how she died, the newspaper reported.
Police said they searched the hotel room after arresting a man on suspicion of possessing and selling cocaine.
Stephen David Royds, 46, was booked into the city jail. He had not been charged in the woman's death, the newspaper reported.
The Orange County coroner's office said Friday that the victim did not appear to have been murdered. The cause of her death is under investigation.

i don't know if its a problem with a fuse but my right flasher is always on
I'm not sure it would be the fuse. A similar thing happened to my old Corolla when it got bumped by another car; the light switch got affected.
In any case the list of fuses are in the manual on page 8-41, such as:
Position 14 = HAZARD 15 Amps Hazard warning flashers
Position 20 = HEAD-R 15 Amps Headlight-right
Position 21 = HEAD-L 15 Amps Headlight-left

dwryter Posts: 872002 Protege5, 5-spd, 70K miles, original owner. P5 now has trouble going up hills, especially with a passenger or two, far worse than normal. Performance NOT under load is fine. I thought it might be a plugs/wires/coils problem and was about to change them when a mechanic said if it were the cause, I'd have seen an error code. He suggested the fabric over the fuel pump might need cleaning, as the computer doesn't check fuel pressure. Per his suggestion, I dumped in a bottle of FI cleaner: no help. Three questions: 1) Could a bad plug, wire or coil be the culprit without the computer knowing? Might the wires or coil be less efficient after 11 years, but not so much the computer would notice? 2) Could a clogged filter-sock be the problem without triggering an error? 3) Could something else be causing this problem? I'm confident I can change the plugs/wires/coils, but hesitate to mess with the fuel filter, even with the fine instructions pointed to in an earlier post here (one in which a computer error had been generated). Thanks for any advice!

Economic Risk and Political Risk in Fiscal Unions
A fiscal program that redistributes income from rich to poor individuals indirectly redistributes tax revenues from regions hit by a favorable shock to regions hit by an unfavorable one. Centralized fiscal redistribution has therefore been advocated as a way to insure individuals against region-specific shocks. In this paper, we argue that a centralized fiscal policy, while reducing the uncertainty on the tax base, creates uncertainty on the tax rate. This occurs because regions hit by different shocks have contrasting interests on the choice of the policy instrument. Using a simple model with two regions and linear taxes, we show that the higher uncertainty on the policy instrument might more than offset the lower uncertainty on the tax base, thus making a majority of agents in each region worse off in a centralized regime. The model is a special case of a more general idea. Heterogeneous entities can reap numerous advantages from integration: mutual insurance (on which we focus), economies of scale, more bargaining power are only a few of them. However, at the same time the same process of integration can increase the unpredictability of any endogenous policy, because more diverse entities participate in the decision-making process, and therefore the opportunities for disagreement increase. In principle, this second effect might offset the advantages of integration.

Some Thoughts on Mechanical Banks
The writer has always had sort of a thing about whales an interest in them and knowing something about them. This interest has not been a great in depth type of thing or scientific in any way, just a kind of general knowledge type of information.
In any case, liking whales as he does, naturally the Jonah & The Whale Bank has always had special appeal to the writer. And prior to having one, the Jonah & Whale (Jonah Emerges) really was a hopeful goal and a great center of interest to the writer. It has particular attraction with the figure of Jonah coming out of the whale and, of course, the rarity of the bank itself. So when he finally obtained one some years ago, it was a real occasion.
Well to get to the point, the writer just accepted the two Jonah & Whale Banks for what they are, which is a lot, but for some reason he never took time to study the respective whales on each bank. While this is not earth shaking as such, nevertheless it would seem of particular importance that each bank represents a different specific type or species of whale. The one on the conventional Jonah & The Whale (where Jonah is in the boat) is a Sperm whale, the other much rare Jonah (where he comes out of the whales mouth) is a Humpback whale.
One can say what difference does it make, a whale is a whale. Well it is sort of intriguing that two different whale mechanical banks were made and that a different species of whale was used on each, and in reality in each case they are today in fact two of the most endangered type of whales. Lets certainly hope that something more definitive is done by certain other nations to preserve these wonderful creatures of the sea.
In speaking of rare banks we usually think in terms of just that a certain bank that is rare in itself and perhaps only one to five or so are known to exist. There is, however, another phase of rarity in banks that we are inclined to overlook, or at least not give proper thought to. This has to do with condition, particularly so with respect to original paint. An excellent example of what we are trying to point out is the Humpty Dumpty Bank. This is a real rare bank to find in extra fine to near mint paint condition. The white face on Humpty Dumpty just didnt lend itself to any amount of even fairly rough treatment.
While most collectors may have a Humpty Dumpty in their respective collections, how many have one in fine to better original paint? Very few. Over a considerable number of years the writer has seen two, possibly three, Humpty Dumpty Banks that would come into the category of extra fine to near mint paint condition.
So actually while in a general way Humpty Dumpty is a fairly common bank, there are examples which are quite rare. This same circumstance applies to several other of the mechanicals, and another that comes to mind at the moment, exactly comparable to Humpty Dumpty but less common, is the Bill E. Grin Bank. Try to find one of these in great original paint condition and youre faced with a real challenge. Very few exist in this state in the many collections the writer knows of or is familiar with.
A not particularly rare bank, but certainly not common, is the Hindu. Try to find a white faced Hindu in fine to extra fine paint condition. It is most certainly a rare bank in this state.
The Magician Bank is another good example in making our point. A real challenge is to obtain one of these banks with fine to extra fine paint and original colored flocking on the stairs. Very definitely a Magician in this condition is a rare bank, and no doubt about it. The writer knows of only three, perhaps four, examples of the Magician that would measure up to this standard. And after all the years of his collecting, the writers still looking for one in this state.
Let us take one of the most common of all the mechanicals, Tammany Bank. Thousands and thousands of these were made over a long period of years. How often does one see an extra fine near mint Tammany? Very seldom and while not greatly rare in this condition, it is difficult to obtain one.
Going to the other side of the coin for the moment, it is really amazing how certain of the mechanicals turn up in excellent paint condition. Banks like Chief Big Moon, Hen & Chick, Creedmoor, I Always Did Spise A Mule (both kinds), Darktown Battery, and others are frequently found with exceptionally nice original paint. A lot would seem to have to do with the character of the bank, the type paint used as well as the colors, and then, of course, the subsequent use or abuse.
Circumstances could be a governing factor. Take the case of the Kiltie Bank. A number of these were found years ago in an old store stock in Scotland. Thus, a number of Kiltie Banks known are in mint condition. Now and then one showing signs of wear turns up, but at least one half or more of those known to exist are brand new, old and original, but never subject to any use.
In closing for now, an interesting observation on tin mechanical banks is in order. For some reason tin banks are at extremes where paint condition is concerned. They are really nice or they are rather poor. There seems to be no middle of the road where tin mechanicals are concerned. Its interesting because in the case of tin toys of all types, particularly the early ones, they are often in the middle of the road condition. True, various of the tin toys made in the 1920s and 30s, which are quite collectible today, are found in mint condition, often in the original boxes. Transversely, it is surprising how many of the tin toys of this period condition-wise are middle of the road. Numbers of the tin mechanical banks were made after 1900 and its enlightening to realize that many survived in very nice condition. However, to repeat, they usually go from that to rather poor condition, not somewhere in between.

CAPOTE SPRINGS. Capote Springs is a group of springs flowing from Quaternary gravel in a remote area eleven miles northeast of Candelaria in western Presidio County (at 30°15' N, 104°33' W). The water produces the beautiful Capote Falls, where it drops over a 180-foot-high cliff of Bracks rhyolite in the Vieja Rim. There is a large buildup of travertine at the falls in the shape of a cape; hence the Spanish name, which means "cape" or "shroud." The very rare and acutely endangered Hinckley columbine and the many-stemmed spider flower have been found in Texas only at these springs. Animal life includes the canyon tree frog, the unisexual whiptail lizard, and the mastiff bat. On July 20, 1976, the springs flowed at a rate of two gallons per second. Rockshelters in the vicinity offered protection to prehistoric inhabitants, whose pictographs and bedrock mortar holes were still visible in 1990.

Alien Resurrection
'Prometheus' Interview: Charlize Theron's Alien Fantasy
At Newsweek's annual Oscar roundtable, Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender talked about working on the new Ridley Scott alien movie, Prometheus. Here is previously unseen clip.
One of the most anticipated movies of the summer is Prometheus, Ridley Scott's (sort of) prequel to Alien. The mysterious trailer for the sci-fi adventure (which opens on June 8) already has the Internet salivating. Charlize Theron plays the human bad guy and Michael Fassbender is an android and intergalactic butler. Earlier this year, at Newsweek's Oscar roundtable, Theron and Fassbender talked about making the film in London's Pinewood Studios. In this previously unseen clip, Theron explains how Scott would show her CGI animated renderings before each take and why Prometheus fulfilled a lifetime "fantasy." "I used to always find myself on movies with these indecisive directors," she says. "The fantasy was Ridley would be there and he'd have six cameras and he'd know exactly what to do with them." To which Fassbender, coming off his critically acclaimed role in Shame, couldn't help cracking a penis joke about "a different one-eyed monster in space."

Best Children's Hospitals Ranked
U.S. News & World Report Releases Annual List of Best Children's Hospitals
Bill Hendrick
Reviewed By Laura J. Martin, MD
June 4, 2010 -- U.S. News & World Report has released its 20th annual list of the nation's top children's hospitals.
The news magazine says it ranked hospitals in specialties ranging from cancer and heart disease to orthopaedics. In order to be eligible to be ranked, each pediatric hospital had to provide data about their services and capabilities on a submission form called the Pediatric Hospital Survey. Of 170 hospitals, 96 submitted data for the 2010 rankings.
In ranking each eligible hospital, scores of 0 to 100 were assigned. Reputation accounted for 35% of the score, outcomes such as surgical survival and avoidance of complications from procedures represented 25%, and care-related indicators such as the ratio of nurses to patients made up 40% of the score in each specialty. The top 30 hospitals in 10 pediatric specialties were identified in the U.S. News & World Report list.
Here are the top three hospitals in each specialty:
Diabetes and Endocrinology
Heart and Heart Surgery
Neurology and Neurosurgery

Issy died following the party in Notting Hill on April 22 after going into cardiac arrest after reportedly taking drugs.
She was one of a group of four teenagers who found the drugs in the bedroom of academic Brian Dodgeon and his partner Angela Hadjipateras, who had left the youngsters to themselves in order to visit friends in Hastings.
The news comes as Mr Dodgeon, 60, a research fellow at the University of London's renowned Centre for Longitudinal Studies, broke both legs after jumping off the North Circular Road in an apparent suicide attempt.
The academic who is on police bail following his arrest for possession of drugs - was last night in a serious but stable condition in hospital after falling onto the pavement.
Today the inquest heard that the couples daughter Beatrice took it upon herself to search her parents bedroom "looking for something that they could enjoy at the party."
Sgt Neil Philpott said: "29 Barlby is divided into two flats and the lower floor flat was used for parties. It so happened on that night that the parents and owners of the flat were out visiting friends in Hastings.
"Their daughter, known to them, was having a party and they had made arrangements with their daughter that satisfied them.
"The party was unsupervised but neighbours had been made aware that the party was taking place and one had been asked to keep an eye.
"There were about 30 young persons aged been 14-16 and they arrived at around 10pm. By 12pm, parents of the guests had started to arrive to pick them up. I would say that by 11pm the numbers had dwindled to a dozen.
"There was alcohol that the youths had taken to the party without the knowledge of their parents.
"Towards the early hours there were about seven or eight children at the address and a group of the youngsters, including Isobel, took it upon themselves to start searching her (Beatrice's) parents room.
"The reason they did that was because their daughter was looking for something that she felt they could enjoy at the party. I dont want to say much more about that.
"The youngsters found in a high cupboard a box containing what they believed, and we believe, to be controlled drugs. The cupboard was not locked and four of the youngsters took some of the contents.
"Isobel reacted particularly badly to what she had taken and her friends called the ambulance services.
"The gentleman who lived at Barlby Road was arrested at hospital and he is currently on police bail. He is due to return to us on the 8 June.
"His partner and the mother of the girl throwing the party was interviewed under caution at Notting Hill Police Station. She was not arrested as she had attended voluntarily.
"They were both questioned on possession of the drugs and about leaving their daughter and others in a position that exposed them to harm or put them at the risk of serious harm. They both co-operated with police."
Outside the inquest, Sgt Philpott added: "It is a tragic case. We are not after any blood but we do have to investigate. There are people with regrets but that is all I can say."
The post mortem results have still not been released and so Dr Fiona Wilcox adjourned the inquest until a review hearing in July.
The teenagers at the party were believed to have found Ecstasy, ketamine and LSD. Issy was reported to have taken two Ecstasy tablets before collapsing.
Her parents, Patrick Reilly and Lynne Jones, both 55, said they were "devastated and heartbroken". Their one hope was that her death would serve as a warning to other teenagers experimenting with drugs.
"We hope that if anything positive comes from this dreadful event, it is that others will make the right decisions to be safe and well in the future," they said.
The father of Harry Barton, 14, one of the children taken to hospital, said his son was "physically OK", but expected there would be "mental scars". Nicholas Barton said Harry had been to parties at the house before without any problems and expressed sympathy for Mr Dodgeon.
"It is a tragedy all round," he said. "My thoughts are with his family. He must be in turmoil."

Wouldn't take much to break her out, but I don't have the time to train anymore. She loads, clips, and trailers well. She is good with the farrier.
She is very stout and could either make a good broodmare or riding horse.
She is by a grandson of Hollywood Dun It, out of a Granddaughter of Two Eyed Jack, who also goes back to Paprika Pine. Here is her pedigree: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/watch+rose+isa+dunit

Mom Pleads With Van-napper
A single mom of 5 children from Missouri discovered her van had been stolen from a Kmart parking lot. In the midst of her panic, she remembered there was an extra cellphone (actually belonging to her ex) in the van and she decided to text the thief.
After a series of "not so nice" text messages, the mom sent a plea stating:
"Hey, you just stole a single mother of five's work van. You are ruining my life here."
And another:
"OMG car thief people can you just give me my van back! It would be epic, the miracle I need right now."
Apparently, her plea to the van-napper worked. He even replied to her messages by :
"I do feel bad…my kids needed a meal on the table so that's what their dad did got them food. I know its wrong but it's been so hard since I lost my job."
Her van was returned and all is right in the world for this mom.

Good for an airport stay. Convenient for morning flight. Pretty much a motel quality room on the beach. Some cleanliness issues.

Good, clean, economical hotel 15 minutes from airport. Relaxing atmosphere at the beach before travel. Lots of restaurants close by. Safe area.

I stayed at the Ping pong hotel the night before my flight back due to its location close to ROME FCO airport (I later learned its not really all that close). I arrived late at night and the area seemed a bit sketchy. I got a queen size bed as requested. The room was neat and clean, however there was an light on the ceiling that was a bit distracting at night. The hotel front desk helped to schedule the shuttle pick up for us in the morning and to our surprise the driver did not charge us for the trip to the airport (tipped him of course). Overall it was a satisfactory stay. ...
