Fiery Pileup Kills Two in California

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (Oct. 13) - A crash in a rain-slicked Southern California freeway tunnel quickly turned into a fiery, chain-reaction pileup that mangled 15 trucks, killed two people and shut down the key north-south route as wreckage burned for hours.

Trucks burn in an access tunnel on Interstate 5 after a massive crash in Southern California that killed two and left as many as 10 injured.

It wasn't immediately known Saturday whether the two people who died were among 10 hospitalized immediately after the accident, said David Porter, a California Highway Patrol officer.
Two trucks collided about 11 p.m. Friday inside a southbound truck tunnel on Interstate 5, triggering the pileup, said Fire Inspector Jason Hurd. The accident scattered wreckage for at least half a mile and continued to block Interstate 5 on Saturday.
At one point flames shot out of the tunnel and 100 feet into the night sky, said Los Angeles County firefighter Scott Clark, one of some 300 firefighters battling the blaze at its height.
"It looked like a bomb went off," said Clark, who battled the flames throughout the night.
The charred skeletons of at least a half-dozen big rigs peeked out of the tunnel's south end. At least one truck was carrying produce, and a smoldering load of cabbages lay scattered across the pavement.
By mid-morning most of the flames appeared to have been extinguished, although thick columns of smoke were still curling out of the tunnel and into the surrounding canyons. Firefighters began pouring flame-retardant foam into one end of the tunnel to douse any hot spots.
Twenty people evacuated the fiery tunnel on foot, including the 10 injured, Hurd said, and five trucks were stuck inside. One truck driver was unaccounted for, and authorities were worried that more may be missing.
Although the tunnel is designed to carry truck traffic through a mountain pass area, Hurd said passenger cars may also use it, raising concerns that some may be trapped inside.
"We're going to have to do a very methodical search," Deputy Chief John Tripp told KABC-TV said. "There could be unfortunately more people that were not able to escape."
Authorities said eight had minor injuries and two had moderate injuries, ranging from moderate burns to neck and back injuries. All 10 injured were taken to local hospitals.
The intense heat caused concrete to crack and melt, sending chucks falling onto the road below throughout the night. Firefighters worried that the damage could cause parts of the tunnel to collapse.
"The tunnel may be structurally compromised, so we're fighting the fire from outside right now," Tripp said.
State transportation department engineers were inspecting the tunnel and the freeway above to determine whether firefighters and rescue workers could enter to douse the remaining flames and look for anyone who might have been trapped.
The interstate, a key route connecting Los Angeles to San Francisco, as well as a major commuter link connecting Los Angeles to its northern suburbs, was expected to remain closed throughout the day Saturday and perhaps longer.
"It could be another day, it could be days, it could be weeks," Hurd said.
The freeway is roughly 30 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.
Holy cow man! Wow that is crazy! I hope all that were injured heal quickly and I feel for the two families who lost loved ones

Knockemstiffby Donald Ray Pollock
Staff Pick
This book, and its writer, came out of nowhere and knocked me square in the throat. You could see Knockemstiff as a dark, demented updating of Winesburg, Ohio, or you could simply notice it as the work of a new American master. Pollock goes where many authors would fear to, and he somehow does it with both an aggressive style and surprising empathy.
"The stories in Knockemstiff depict some of the most heartbreakingly original characters and situations of recent memory....Pollock's writing doesn't just hook you; he grabs you by the throat." Gerry Donaghy, Powells.com (read the entire Powells.com review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In this unforgettable work of fiction, Donald Ray Pollock peers into the soul of a tough Midwestern American town to reveal the sad, stunted but resilient lives of its residents.
Spanning a period from the mid-sixties to the late nineties, the linked stories that comprise Knockemstiff feature a cast of recurring characters who are woebegone, baffled and depraved — but irresistibly, undeniably real. Rendered in the American vernacular with vivid imagery and a wry, dark sense of humor, these thwarted and sometimes violent lives jump off the page at the reader with inexorable force. A father pumps his son full of steroids so he can vicariously relive his days as a perpetual runner-up body builder. A psychotic rural recluse comes upon two siblings committing incest and feels compelled to take action. Donald Ray Pollock presents his characters and the sordid goings-on with a stern intelligence, a bracing absence of value judgments, and a refreshingly dark sense of bottom-dog humor.
With an artistic instinct honed on the works of Flannery O'Connor and Harry Crews, Pollock offers a powerful work of fiction in the classic American vein. Knockemstiff is a genuine entry into the literature of place.
"A native of Knockemstiff, Ohio, Pollock delivers poignant and raunchy accounts of his hometown's sad and stagnant residents in his debut story collection that may remind readers of its thematic grand-daddy, Winesburg, Ohio. The works span 50 years of violence, failure, lust and depravity, featuring characters like Jake, an abandoned hermit who dodges the draft during WWII, lives in a bus and discovers two young siblings committing incest on the bank of a creek, and Bobby, a recovering alcoholic who must face the imminent death of his abusive father. The language and imagery of the novel are shockingly direct in detailing the pitiful lives of drug abusers, perverts and a forgotten population that just isn't "much welcome nowhere in the world." Many of the characters appear in more than one story, providing a gritty depth to the whole, but the character that stands out the most is the town, as dismal and hopeless as the locals. Pollock is intimate with the grimy aspects of a small town (especially one named after a fistfight) full of poor, uneducated people without futures or knowledge of any other way to live. The most startling thing about these stories is they have an aura of truth." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"This electrifying collection of linked stories uses the voices of the rural hamlet of Knockemstiff to create a coherent world of echoing themes and recurring characters that has the drive and impact of a fine novel. Pollock brings grace and precision to colloquial language, and the ferocious integrity of his vision is flat-out stunning. Pollock grapples with savagery and reveals primal tenderness. After every story in Knockemstiff I had to take a walk and let my head cool down. I keep reaching for some other writer to compare him with — maybe a Raymond Carver with hope and vitality, or a godless Flannery O'Connor — but Pollock is no shadow of anybody else. This is a powerful talent at work." Katherine Dunn
"Pollock grabs by the throat and doesn't let go." Kirkus Reviews
The stories in this collection feature a cast of recurring characters who are woebegone, baffled, and depraved — but irresistibly, undeniably real. With artistic sensibilities reminiscent of Flannery O'Connor, Pollock offers a powerful work of fiction in the classic American vein.

IRVINE — Quarterfinals, semifinals, third-place match, championship match. It doesn't really matter.
The last two seasons, the Corona del Mar and Newport Harbor High girls' water polo teams have always found a way to meet up in a tournament.
"We can't avoid Newport," CdM senior Cassidy Papa said. "It just goes back and forth. It's fun."
The Sea Kings and Sailors now have played nine times in that two-season span. Their latest encounter was Saturday, in the third-place match of the Irvine Southern California Championships.
Papa helped make sure that it was her team that finished the tournament with a win.
The Stanford-bound co-captain had five goals, two assists and three steals as CdM rallied for a 9-7 victory at Woollett Aquatics Center to claim the bronze over the Sailors. It is the best tournament finish of the season for Corona del Mar (20-4).
"We're finally proving that we can play as a team," Papa said. "Everyone was kind of doubting it and saying that we were a team of individuals for a while there. We're finally becoming cohesive, and right before CIF that's what we're looking to do."
Each Back Bay team suffered semifinal losses earlier Saturday. The Sea Kings fell to top-seeded Foothill, 6-5, and the Sailors lost to Santa Barbara for the third time this season, 5-3.
Santa Barbara went on to capture the tournament title over Foothill, 5-4. The Dons, who have won 15 matches in a row, more than likely clinched the top seed in the CIF Southern Section Division 1 playoffs with the win.
CdM, which was ranked No. 4 in Division 1 coming into the tournament, could now earn the No. 3 seed. The Sea Kings are 2-2 against Newport Harbor this season. Papa and senior Ioanna Haralabidis were all-tournament team selections from CdM, and senior co-captains Carly Christian and Elissia Schilling earned all-tournament team status for Newport Harbor.
CdM took a 5-3 halftime lead in the third-place match after Papa scored on a counterattack, then from outside five meters off a foul. Ioanna Haralabidis, who has been emerging as a center defender, had picked up two exclusions in the first half guarding Schilling. But CdM sophomore Eliza Britt came in and played effective defense late in the half, causing a turnover.
"We were screaming at her to push and push, and she was working really hard," Haralabidis said. "I'm really proud of her."
Newport Harbor (19-6) scored four goals in the third quarter to take a 7-6 lead. Christian had two goals, while sophomore Rachel Whitelegge and junior Heidi Fults also scored.
But the Sea Kings owned the fourth quarter, posting a 3-0 advantage. Papa tied the score on a lob from six meters, then gave CdM an 8-7 lead on a skip shot from the left off Maddie Musselman's pass. Papa then provided the assist to Stephania Haralabidis, who found the back of the net cross-cage with 1:02 left in the game.
Papa, who did not score in CdM's quarterfinal win over Los Alamitos or the semifinal loss to Foothill, admitted that she had been in a little slump. She broke out of it big-time against Newport Harbor.
"I mean, I'm glad to [get] the assists, [play] the defense, but it started to get frustrating," Papa said. "I felt like I needed to put some shots away. Once I got the first one in this game, I finally got a little bit of my confidence back. It was nice to get that game under my belt."
Senior co-captain Erica Weed added eight saves in goal, while her twin sister Genevieve and Ally McCormick also scored for CdM. Stephania Haralabidis had a goal and four steals.
CdM Coach Sam Bailey said he considered it a successful tournament for his squad.
"It's always nice to finish the day on a win," Bailey said. "And the second piece of it is, it's CdM against Newport. The rivalry that the two schools have is really, really fun."
Christian led Newport Harbor with three goals, and sophomore Rachel Whitelegge had a standout game with two goals and four steals. Schilling drew four exclusions and junior goalie Cleo Harrington made 12 saves for the Sailors, but Coach Bill Barnett was not impressed with his team's effort.

The Legal Side of Turbomachinery
February 7 2011 - Richard \"Chip\" Thompson
I suppose that my first blog should be one of introduction. My name is Chip Thompson and I'm a partner at the law firm Mercer Thompson LLC (
). Our law firm has a singular focus: advising electric power companies all over the world in connection with their most important transactions. This has been my professional focus for over 15 years, and in that time, I've been involved in many transactions and disputes involving "turbomachinery." In all of these transactions, I have been counsel for the turbine owner, not the OEM. As lawyers are advocates for their clients, you'll have to pardon any apparent bias I may have in favor of the interests of turbine owners. Such owners are my clients, and I care very much about their interests.
I am very honored to have been invited by Kalyan to write this blog. At least initially, this blogs central focus will be on "legal" issues that relate to the buying, selling, operating and/or maintaining gas, steam and wind turbines for electric power plants. I don't intend at all to provide legal advice here, but to help lead a forum for general discussion of these types of issues. I have a few ideas already as to hot topics, but am certainly open to suggestions.
So, to get us started, here, let's talk a bit about trends in the "turbomachinery" industry. No, this isn't a legal topic, but I think that we should be looking at these trends first as a matter of identifying what legal topics are really relevant to folks these days.
The first trend I hear about from industry pundits is this: with coal plants nearly impossible to permit (and some targeted for retirement), and wind/solar so geographically limited, gas turbines are going to be a significant generator-of-choice in the years to come insofar as maintaining baseload capacity is concerned. Are any of you witnessing this same trend in your companies?
The second trend about which I am informed is that there are apparently multiple existing steam turbines (at coal and nuke plants) that are going to reach the end of their rotor lives in the next few years, giving rise to significant orders for new steam turbines or wholesale steam turbine retrofits. Again, are any of you seeing those types of trends in your companies?
Let's see what responses come in here… that can help us set sail toward discussions on relevant issues that may arise in connection with these trends.

SPECIFICATIONVoltage and Current Detector
The voltage and current detector is built in an Original size FLEXI-BOX on a dedicated PCB. The RF connectors can be selected from BNC, N, TNC or SMA. The box has one 50Ω input and one 50Ω output and is inserted inline to the coaxial cable under test. Four 1 mm sockets are provided for monitoring the rms voltage and current with a DMM (the current being monitored as a related voltage). The DC input can be fitted with a feed through capacitor with a solder tag. This is intended as a measurement aid and is also part of the "Standing Wave Kit". This is a unique piece of measuring equipment and has good educational potential. It is also possible to use it for fault finding as a RF signal detector especially if it is fitted with a BNC connector, because then a X1 oscilloscope probe can be plugged straight in. It makes a very cheap RF power meter if you do not mind a doing some calculations and have an accurate 50 Ohms load to hand.
The circuit uses Schottky diodes to detect both the voltage and current outputs. The measurement principal and the mathematical linearisation of these diodes is described in Understanding Coaxial RF Transmission Lines by Measurement and Calculation Appendix B1
The current output is measured via a transformer that is inserted into the transmission line. The output of this transformer is amplified and the amplifier output level is very similar to the original signal. Thus ensuring that the detector diodes at the amplifier output work over the same voltage range as the voltage detector diodes and therefore have similar linearity.
A selection of escutcheon drawings are available for downloading as .zip or .bmp files.

No Foreign Transaction Fee Credit Cards
International Travelers: Compare credit cards with no foreign transaction fee from our partners to save money when traveling.

How to Choose a Credit Card with No Foreign Transaction Fee
Most credit cards tack on a 3% charge, or foreign transaction fee, on purchases made outside the United States. If you travel internationally with a no foreign transaction fee credit card, you'll save money on your purchases.
Plus, using a credit card that doesn't have a foreign transaction fee is usually cheaper than using the currency conversion services at retail stores, banks, and airports, which tend to charge high fees and could be inconsistent in their currency calculations. Credit cards usually use the wholesale market rate or the government-mandated rate.
Featured Deal
Plus, with the Chase Sapphire Preferred, you can transfer points at a 1:1 ratio to leading frequent travel programs. Participating programs include popular airline frequent flyer programs such as United MileagePlus, Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards & British Airways Executive Club and frequent hotel programs such as Marriott Rewards, Hyatt Gold Passport & Priority Club.
International Travel
Travel to Europe: Keep in mind, what's popular in the US is not necessarily the same worldwide. For travelers to Europe, using a credit card with a smart chip is wise.
Travel to China: Did you know that China UnionPay is the largest payment scheme worldwide, appearing on 3 out of every 10 cards?
Luckily for travelers to China, Discover has a partnership with China UnionPay to provide access to "all ATMs and electronic payment merchants in Mainland China." Plus, all Discover credit cards have no foreign transaction fees.
Travel to Japan: Travelers to Japan will see the JCB network almost everywhere. Discover has a partnership with JCB, one of the largest card issuers in Japan, to honor "Discover on its network of over 1 million Japanese merchants and ATMs." And remember, all Discover credit cards have no foreign transaction fees.
College Student or Small Business Owner?
For college students who travel the world, consider using a student credit card with no foreign transaction fee to help you save on your next study abroad or summer adventure.
For small business owners, use a business card with no foreign transaction fee to help you trim expenses on international business trips.

No Foreign Transaction Fee Credit Cards Benefits
Save money when traveling internationally
Using a credit card with no foreign transaction fee is usually the cheapest way to buy items when you are overseas, compared to using cash. Currency conversion services at retail stores, banks and airports cost you more in the long run. Networks like Visa and MasterCard usually use the wholesale market rate or the government-mandated rate.
Experience convenience
Have a sense of safety
Keep track of your expenses
Reward yourself, not the bank
Remember, it's often helpful to call your credit card company in advance to let them know you will be traveling outside the US so that they are less likely to decline purchases you make while traveling.

The daycare provider convicted of involuntary manslaughter will have her sentencing hearing scheduled later this week. 35-year-old Michelle Bolze-Sann was found guilty late last Friday.
A hearing to schedule her sentencing will be held Thursday the thirteenth.
The charges against Bolze-Sann stem from the July 2007 death of Zachary Typer.
Authorities say the boy couldn't breathe after he slipped between the mattress and foot-board while at the licensed daycare operated by Bolze-Sann.

5. Preparing Students for Careers within and outside the Academy
Preparing Students for Careers within and outside the Academy
Careers as Faculty Members in Postsecondary Education
How are teaching assistants introduced to, prepared for, and supported in their assignments? Does the department offer credit-bearing or noncredit seminars in appropriate areas, such as the teaching of composition, foreign language pedagogy, the use of technology, or the teaching of literature? If so, how effective are they? Do faculty members actively and consistently provide teaching assistants the ongoing supervision and support that allow teaching assistantships to be vital parts of graduate students' education? How often are teaching assistants more or less left on their own to sink or swim?
How are supervisory responsibilities shared among the director of graduate studies, the director of freshman composition or language teaching, and faculty members who teach graduate students and direct theses and dissertations?
What range of teaching experiences are graduate students afforded? What opportunities do students have to practice and think about issues in the teaching of literature in addition to the teaching of introductory language courses and freshman composition? What is the balance between independent responsibility for courses and more closely supervised work as a section leader in a course for which a regular faculty member is the instructor of record?
What opportunities do graduate students have to talk about, practice, and receive comment on activities like leading discussions, lecturing, constructing a syllabus, creating assignments, reading and responding to student writing, having students discuss and edit class work in groups, having language students work in small groups, and teaching with audiovisual and computer-based materials? Are graduate students informed of the obligations and rights that inhere in the institutional and professional position of the classroom teacher?
Are graduate students given opportunities to have their classroom performance observed or videotaped? How extensive or perfunctory are these opportunities? What protocols are in place for briefing graduate students before classroom observations and debriefing them after and for controlled analysis and discussion, including the current and future viewing of any videotapes?
Does the department ensure that at least one faculty member, and preferably more than one, can speak specifically and fully to each graduate student's abilities and accomplishments as an undergraduate teacher?
What steps does the department take to inform its graduate students and remind its faculty members of the diversity of institutions and teaching situations in higher education? Does the department think about how its graduate students' introduction to teaching relates to the job placements and teaching assignments of recent degree recipients? Are there opportunities for graduate students to learn from faculty members in two-year and baccalaureate colleges about the work of a professor in these settings?
What models and messages about teaching do faculty members demonstrate in their teaching, directly in graduate seminars and indirectly in their participation or nonparticipation in the department's undergraduate program? How do these models and messages compare with recent graduates' job placements and teaching assignments?
Scholarly Activity and Publication
What opportunities do graduate students have to learn about the infrastructure of scholarly journals and presses and of professional meetings and conferences?
Is support available for graduate students to attend professional meetings and conferences?
Is there a systematic means for students to learn about preparing and delivering an effective conference presentation and about the etiquette of participating in or presiding over a conference panel?
Is there a systematic means for students to learn about the standards and procedures of scholarly publishing, about preparing and submitting manuscripts, and about the etiquette of corresponding with editors?
Academic Citizenship
How do students learn about the system of higher education in the United States or Canada and its diversity? About differences between public and private sectors? About differences among doctorate, comprehensive, baccalaureate, and two-year institutions? About differences represented in the Carnegie classification?
How do graduate students learn about faculty governance, the concept of academic freedom and its scope and history, and the university as a social institution?
What opportunities do graduate students have to learn about such matters as working with others on committees, the ethical and legal contexts of activities like conducting job searches, the rules of parliamentary procedure, and the etiquette of departmental discussion and debate?
Careers outside the Academy
Does the department actively develop and maintain contacts with employers other than colleges and universities and especially with program graduates who have gone on to work in business, government, and not-for-profit organizations? Are there regular opportunities for graduate students to hear and learn from such employers and graduates?
Does the department encourage graduate students early and consistently to learn about employment options outside the academy? Or do students turn to the option of nonacademic employment only late and reluctantly, when it almost inevitably feels like a consequence of failure?
Is there a campus-wide committee on nonacademic placement of PhDs made up of representatives from graduate programs in the arts and sciences and from the business school or other appropriate schools?

Syrian military conducts military exercises
Syria's military has begun large-scale military exercises involving missile tests and ground and air operations meant to test its readiness to respond to aggression.
The show of force appears to be designed as a warning to the international community not to interfere in the Syrian crisis.
The state-run SANA news agency says in a report July 8 the maneuvers started a day earlier with naval forces simulating a scenario to repel an attack from the sea.
It says the exercises were attended by Defense Minister Dawood Rajiha and will last for several days.
Some in the Syrian opposition have appealed to the international community to intervene in the country's crisis, which they say has killed more than 14,000 people.
The West has shown little appetite for military intervention in Syria. AP
Russia halts arms shipments to Syria
A senior Russian official says that Moscow is halting its weapons sales to Syrian authorities until the situation there calms down.
Vyacheslav Dzirkaln, deputy chief of the Russian military and technical cooperation agency, told Russian news agencies on the sidelines of the Farnborough airshow south-west off London that Russia is not going to sign any new arms deals with Syria or send any more weapons.
He said that so far Russia has been providing Syria's army with spare parts and assistance in repairs of the weapons supplied earlier.
Syrian activists say that about 14,000 people have been killed in an uprising in the country since March 2011.
Dzirkaln said that Russia does not sell helicopters or fighter planes to Syria. AP
Aerospace company to open plant in Oklahoma
State Officials say a Belgian aerospace company will open a plant in Stillwater, Okla., creating 250 jobs by 2014.
Gov. Mary Fallin made the announcement July 9 as she attends the Farnborough International Air Show in the United Kingdom. ASCO Inc. will build in the former MerCruiser manufacturing facility on Perkins Road in Stillwater.
Officials say the company will initially invest $60 million and employ 250 people by 2014. The second phase of development would bring an additional $30 million to $40 million in capital investment and another 350 jobs by 2015.
ASCO chief executive officer Christian Boas says Oklahoma was the best fit for his company because of its central location and existing aerospace industry.
The company designs and makes aircraft components and assemblies for Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and Embraer commercial jets. AP

|Watauga Residents Seek ETJ-Type Protection
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 11 August 2014 05:19
In a press release, the newly formed Watauga Citizens for Local Control announced that they have been accepted as a chapter of the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League. The Watauga group is centering their new effort on a Watauga County Commission meeting August
19th in which commissioners will hear from citizens in the former Boone ETJ about protections for their properties. At their August 5th meeting, members expressed concerns that polluting industries have targeted their now-protected communities for dangerous and undesirable facilities.
Watauga Citizens for Local Control's spokesman Lee Stroupe said, "We want to keep the protections we now have under ETJ. We want to keep polluting industry out of our neighborhoods. Stroupe had been active in the fight to prevent an asphalt plant on Roby Green Road during the 1990's which resulted in an ETJ for the Seven Oaks community.
Lou Zeller, who now directs the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League, welcomed the new group, saying "The legislature's removal of Boone's ETJ is like the camel's nose under the tent," wondering why Boone was singled out. In June, NC Senate Bill 865, introduced by Senator Dan Soucek, stripped Boone of its ETJ power effective January 1st, 2015. However, the bill left ETJs in place for 200 other North Carolina municipalities. Zeller called the law "A bad precedent for this and other communities who merely want to protect their homes and families."
Zeller said that just what control might be available from the county is not yet clear.
The public hearing on ETJ will be held on August 19 at 6:00 PM during the Watauga County Board of Commissioners meeting.
The Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League was founded in 1984 to protect the High Country from a nuclear waste dump and today has chapters and projects in six states.

Rug maker's in the loop

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Originally a pastime for sailors on long-distance voyages in the 1800s, rug hooking was brought into popular culture around the 1940s by Pearl McGown. Her floral-centered medallions and scroll-edged patterns were printed on burlap and sold across the country in five-and-dime stores.
Rug hooking is based on the simple process of using a small metal hook to draw loops of long, narrow strips of colored wool through a linen or cotton backing. During the last half-century, hookers have worked their designs and shading artistry into fiber art masterpieces. Rugs sometimes convey mottos, personal symbolism, and thematic or seasonal representations. Some are created as friendship keepsakes.
In 1998, Melissa Elliott took her first rug-hooking class at Shaker Village in Mercer County, Ky.
When the Association of Traditional Hooking Artists holds its biennial convention in Louisville this weekend, Elliott's pattern Kentucky Montage, created especially for the meeting, will be featured.
The opportunity to mix creative expression with functional art held great appeal for Elliott when she signed up for the class 11 years go. Since then, not only has she made many rugs, she has also developed a catalog packed with pattern designs for her business, Main Street Rugs in Versailles, Ky.
Elliott remembers thinking "I can do that" after looking at some patterns, then going home to draw a design for her daughter, which she called Meredith's Favorite Things. When she graduated to teaching rug hooking classes at Shaker Village, Elliott researched authentic Shaker rugs stored at the complex and then produced some updated versions, including her Shaker Geometric.
When the Twin Towers of New York City's World Trade Center were attacked on Sept. 11, 2001, Elliott worked through the weeks that ensued by making a U.S. flag rug, with a silhouette outlining the original skyline.
Rug hookers have a constant need for wool.
"It has to be just the right weight," says Elliott, who has a cupboard full of pieces in various colors and patterns. "Coats are too heavy and men's suiting too light."
Used clothing shops and estate sales sometimes yield perfect finds, like much-sought-after Pendleton skirts and paisley shawls. For obtaining just the right shade and tint gradients, some artisans dye their own wool, boiling pieces in pots on the stove and tolerating the smell of ammonia or vinegar to change the pH and bring out colors, and mordants to set the dyes.
The woolen pieces are cut into strips with a hand-cranked rotary cutter. Generally, early rugs were made from fairly narrow strips, but more contemporary hookers have been using wider cuts that give a more primitive look to the finished piece.
Elliott's interest in rug hooking came naturally. Growing up in Pewee Valley, near Louisville, Ky., in the 1960s, she remembers her grandmother Ernestine Caye and other women gathering on a neighbor's screened porch for hooking sessions. Elliott still has a set of Caye's dining chairs, each with a seat cover showing a different hooked flower, from classic roses to more unusual pansies.
Another tradition Elliott inherited from her grandmother is going to rug hooking camp, and spending time in a scenic, natural setting with friends. She has framed a 1950s photo of her grandmother and other rug hookers at Blythe Shoals Rug Camp near Greenville, S.C. Elliott recommends the camp at Cedar Lakes Conference Center in Ripley, W.Va., as a great getaway.
"It's a week of hooking, eating, camaraderie, staying up late and sipping wine. There's no better fun than that," she says. But then, Elliott has lots of experience. During the past 10 years, she has become a McGown-certified instructor, and plans to teach a class at the Woolery in downtown Frankfort next spring. Her work is also featured in Rug Hooking Magazine's current September/October issue, in an article describing how she gave herself a seven-day challenge to complete a rug pattern, First Date by Primco, that was assigned to her at a teacher workshop. It's a whimsical design with a primitive hen, rooster, rising sun and yummy-looking worm.
Her ideas about getting a big job finished in a short time could be broadly applied to any work: plan, set realistic goals, gather peer support, take stress-relief breaks, eat well, and if you don't get everything done, look at all that you did accomplish and know "you're a lot better off than you were."

Dueling data - Census says staffing growth accelerated in 1Q?!
How can it be?
On 6/11, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that staffing industry revenue (as represented by Employment Services NAICS code 5613) rose 7.9% year-over-year in the first quarter. As can be seen in the chart below, the increase represented an acceleration in revenue growth from the 4.7% year-over-year increase reported in the fourth quarter and the highest rate of growth since early 2006.
The 7.9% estimate for 1Q is preliminary, but adjustments to this data series have historically not been large, so this estimate is likely to stand at least in order of magnitude.
This level of growth is markedly different than what would be expected, given the decelerating state of affairs in staffing as represented by data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Staffing Industry Benchmarking Consortium and public company reports.
We welcome thoughts on this. Is business at your company quietly booming?

I'm using Java to dynamically generating text strings which become the body of "text/plain" emails sent via JavaMail. How do I encode a carriage return or line feed in these strings to produce line breaks when the email is viewed by the recipient? FYI: "text/html" mails are prohibited

An ordinary line break char should do.
(depending on the underlying system this could be a linefeed for Unix, or a carriage return for Mac, or a pair of both for MS Windows)
Note that in transmission via SMTP, line breaks in the encoded transmission need to be pairs (carriage return + linefeed). But typically your message body will be encoded by some content-transfer-encoding to protect the internal linebreaks, so they may have no relation to the linebreaks sent in transmission.

'Dogged' Paignton hold out
Posted: October 11, 2012|
PAIGNTON return to Queens Park this Saturday to face Sidmouth boosted by a 24-14 win at Bridgwater.
It was only Paignton's second win of the season so far and stopped them dropping into the bottom three.
Mark Beavis, the Saxon's director of rugby, said the 13 men left on the field needed to dig deep in the dying stages to come away victorious.
"I would like to think it is a corner turned after the difficult start to the season we have had – and if nothing else it will give the players confidence," said Beavis.
"We have lost seven players to Brixham since the end of last season, as well as a couple more who have gone walkabout or are injured.
"Last season's Development XV is the bulk of the 1st XV now – and they are doing the club proud in difficult circumstances.
"It is a bit of a struggle at times for some of the young boys, but they showed the sort of doggedness needed at Bridgwater to see us through a difficult time."
The Saxons finished two men short as Mark Palk was in the sin-bin and No.8 Josh Theophandies got a straight red in the last minute for a suspect tackle.
Paignton had almost unlimited possession early in the first half and took the lead through an Andy Sandercock penalty and a drive-over try for Chris Hallett, converted by Sandercock.
Bridgwater came back into the game a little and were unlucky when a pass on their own ten-metre line was intercepted by Paignton fly-half Sam Poustie who went 60 metres to dot down. Sandercock converted.
Bridgwater got back to 17-14 in the second half, but not for long as Hallett seized on a loose ball at a Bridgwater line-out to claim the clinching try.
PAIGNTON U16s were waved through in the O'Neil's Devon Cup by Torrington, who were unable to raise a side.
The Cherries visit Torquay this Sunday.

Earlier this year, after months of legal wrangling, authorities in a number of countries won an injunction against the Pirate Bay, probably the largest and most famous BitTorrent piracy site on the Web. The order blocked people from entering the site.
In retaliation, the Pirate Bay wrapped up the code that runs its entire Web site, and offered it as a free downloadable file for anyone to copy and install on their own servers. People began setting up hundreds of new versions of the site, and the piracy continues unabated.
Thus, whacking one big mole created hundreds of smaller ones.

Heaven Waterfall Necklace
Important! While you work, take care that your needle goes through the soutache braid just in the middle (so that it runs through the soutache groove). Before you start, cut off the frayed soutache ends and melt them with a cigarette lighter.
Picture 1
|Glue the cabochon onto a piece of cloth or felt. Let the glue dry. If you use a cabochon-bead, you do not need any cloth at all as you can sew soutache directly to your bead. Take two identical pieces of turquoise soutache, match their edges together and fix them with several stitches, going from the middle to their ends. Now sew it on the right and on the left side of your cabochon. Fix the two soutache ends together at the bottom (see Picture 1). Continue working with each soutache end separately, embroidering the pattern of Picture 2. When both sides of the pattern are finished, cut off, melt the soutache ends and hide them on the back side. Glue a piece of leather to the back side.
Now take two lengths of light blue soutache, put them together and sew a few stitches in the middle working from the center to edges. Sew two lengths of dark blue soutache in the same way. Go around 15mm square turquoise bead working with light blue soutache from the one side and with dark blue soutache from another (see Picture 3). Fix the ends together and sew a turquoise bead between them.
Go to the opposite side of the square bead passing light blue soutache through. Fix the two other soutache ends together in the same way.
A tip: if you are using a cabochon instead of a cabochon-bead, you should glue it first to a piece of cloth or felt, as described for the big cabochon.
Now form a pattern (see Picture 4), working on one side of the square bead first and then repeating the same in the mirror image on the other side. Cut off. Melt the cut ends with a cigarette lighter and hide them under the nearest bead. Cut some small pieces of leather and glue them on top of the cut ends.
Picture 5
|Take four blue soutache pieces of the same length. Divide them into two pairs and sew together (as described above). Fix a rectangular turquoise bead between them (see Picture 5). Embroider a pattern shown in Picture 6: work on one side of the bead first, and then repeat the same on the other side in the mirror image.
Picture 7
|Assemble the parts together referring to the photograph as a guide. Decorate the edges of each motif with neck ribbon (Picture 7). Pass a length of satin ribbon through the beaded eyelets on the end of the neck ribbon.

Looking at the paper, it brings up images of the Old West.
"It's just a new version of the wanted posters."
Katherine Cabaniss is the executive director of the Crime Stoppers of Houston. The 56 most wanted is printed on news paper, but the graphics are from a time gone by. It's modern day because it has the phone number for Crime Stoppers for people to call if a fugitive is spotted.
"Of the 56 featured felons in the January 2007 issue, 35 were arrested, so that's a 63% arrest rate. It's a very successful publication and a very successful partnership between Crime Stoppers and Harris County Sheriff's office."
Cabaniss says usually each publicaion leads to the arrest of 15 felons. Unfortunately, the supply of felons continue with more publications.
"So we have 56 new wanted felons every month. They are all first degree felons or capital murderers, so they are all serious violent offenders that we really want to try to locate to make us all safer. There are also a number of featured sex offenders who have failed to register, failed to comply with the sexual registration requirements here in Harris county so the sheriff's office works to try to put them behind bars where they belong."
Cabinass says they are not sure why January's publication led to more arrests, other than the public is being watchful.
"They are selected based on the severity of the offense. They cover all the 22 district courts. We try not to just work on one docket alone, we try to make sure all the courts are receiving service by the Harris County Sheriff's office and by Crime Stoppers. so they are chosen not only for the severity of the offense but for a number of different reasons like that."
The paper is distributed countywide in different parole offices, DPS offices and some convenience stores. Harris County Sheriff Tommy Thomas says successful law enforcement does depend on the community.
"It's the old cliche that the community is the eyes and ears of law enforcement and with their input it certainly makes our job a lot easier. This is a perfect example of that."
The latest editions of the 56 most wanted can be viewed on-line. A link can be found at KUHF-dot-org. Capella Tucker, Houston Public Radio News.

A nationwide assessment in Pakistan showed that the direct use of untreated wastewater for agriculture, particularly vegetable production, was common in most cities. The main reasons for this use were the absence of alternative water sources, the reliability of the wastewater supply, the nutrient value and the proximity to urban markets. It was estimated that 26% of the total domestic vegetable production of Pakistan was cultivated with wastewater. The importance of the wastewater was re.ected in high water and land fees. Policy makers have to take the importance for local livelihoods and food security into account when making decisions regarding direct wastewater use.

Our previous posts helped you with Getting Started with Postbox and Customizing the Postbox Interface.
Now it's time to get down to the nitty-gritty: working with Postbox day-to-day or, more importantly, making Postbox work for you.
Accounts Pane
The Accounts Pane is one of the most important, and unique, user interface elements in Postbox. One key feature is the "All Accounts" group, which enables you view messages from several accounts simultaneously.
Within All Accounts, each of your accounts will be listed individually according to the account name used when Postbox was first set up. You can change the account name by going to Preferences | Options > Accounts > [your account] and entering a new name in the field labeled Account Name.
Accounts can be reordered within the All Accounts group by simply dragging and dropping them to the desired location. The top-most account is the "default" account. Thus, when you compose a new message with the All Accounts selected, the "from" account will default to the account positioned at the top of the Accounts Pane (unless a different account was selected as default in Preferences | Options).
When you first install Postbox, all of your accounts will be grouped within the All Accounts group. However, you can create as many new Account Groups as you like. For example, one Account Group can be dedicated to your work accounts, and another for your personal accounts. To organize accounts within different groups, just drag and drop them to where they are needed.
Folders Pane
Closely associated with the Accounts Pane is the Folders Pane, which will display special folders such as the Inbox, Sent, Drafts and Trash along with any storage folders you're subscribed to.
The contents of the Folder Pane will change depending on which account or account group is currently selected in the Accounts Pane. When an Account Group is selected, special folders are combined into one view. Storage folders are listed below the special folders and grouped by account name.
For IMAP accounts, you can customize which folders that display in the Folders Pane by selecting Subscribe from the File menu. This can be especially useful if the IMAP server has a number of mailboxes or folders that you don't need to see, but still want to keep around for archival purposes.
To make efficient use of your workspace, the Accounts & Folders Pane can be closed so that only the message list and preview panes are visible - perfect for when you are in a power triaging mode. Click on the open/close toggle in the Favorites Bar, or go to View menu > Show > Folder Pane to show or hide the Accounts & Folders Pane.
Focus Pane
One of Postbox's most unique features is the Focus Pane, designed to help you break your Inbox into more manageable chunks. In a nutshell, this pane lets you focus on just the messages you need to support your immediate workflow. Filter messages by Favorite Topic, Favorite Contacts, dates, or attributes such as attachment status and unread. Toggle the Focus Pane open and closed by selecting View menu > Show > Focus Pane, or by using the slider button at the bottom of the Folder Pane.
The Focus Pane works in harmony with Topics to show you just what you need at a glance. While there is no limit to the number of Topics you can use in Postbox, the Focus Pane is reserved for "Favorite Topics," or the ones you wish to use most often. To assign a Topic as a Favorite, right-click the Topic and select Favorite or through Preferences | Options > Display > Topics. Reorder Favorite Topics by dragging and dropping them to the desired location. Additionally, you can assign a topic to messages by dragging and dropping then on top of a Favorite Topic.
Favorite Contacts lets you filter your message view by contact - just click on a Favorite Contact to only see messages from that person. Combine Favorite Contacts with the Show All Folders selector to see every message from that contact across all mail accounts and folders.
To make a contact a favorite, either click on the contact name in the message header envelope and check the Favorite Contact checkbox, or drag the contact name from the message header to the list of Favorite Contacts area in the Focus Pane. Reorder your Favorite Contacts by dragging and dropping them by the priority that is most important to you (hint: you may wish to put your boss at the top of the list). To remove a Favorite Contact, right-click the contact in the Focus Pane and select Remove from Favorites from the context menu. Alternatively, click on the contact in the message header envelope and uncheck the Favorite Contact checkbox from the Contact Pop-up.
You can use the ctrl/cmd-click keys to select multiple items in the Focus Pane. When selecting items across groups such as Favorite Topics, Favorite Contacts, or Dates, ctrl/cmd-click acts as an AND criteria. Ctrl/cmd-clicking only within Topics acts as an OR search criteria, e.g. "show me all messages that contain Topics: apples OR grapes."
Inspector Pane
The Inspector Pane, available via the View menu > Show > Inspector Pane menu, provides quick and easy access to a wealth of information that may be hiding within long email threads. LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter profiles, as well as any links, addresses, package tracking numbers, etc. contained in the email are easy to find and readily available for you to take action on.
These are just a few of the interface features in Postbox that help you manage your email day-to-day.
