CALGARY — Environmental charges have been laid against Plains Midstream Canada ULC nearly two years after an oil pipeline failure that spilled nearly half a million litres of sour crude oil into a central Alberta river system.
The company faces a federal charge under the Fisheries Act and a provincial charge under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, the latter for failing to report a release of crude oil from a pipeline, the AER announced late Friday.
It is to make its first appearance in Red Deer Court Tuesday at 9:30 on the two charges. The maximum penalty for provincial offences is $500,000 per offence, said Michelle Davio, assistant director and issues manager for Alberta Justice and the Solicitor General's office.
The leak from the company's Rangeland Pipeline on June 7, 2012, resulted in 2,900 barrels of oil being released.
The U.S.-based company had also had a pipeline leak in 2011 of 4.5 million litres of oil near Peace River in northern Alberta. Three charges were laid in April of last year in connection with the incident but the company has yet to enter a plea — the charges are also being brought to Red Deer on Tuesday, Davio said.
AER spokesman Darin Barter said Monday an audit of Plains Midstream's Alberta operations launched last year is ongoing and the regulator's extra oversight — every application must be approved by AER chief executive Jim Ellis — is delaying even routine applications.
"We look at every application they put forward and scrutinize it in light of all of the incidents and the concerns that we have," he said.
"Just generally, when you have the leadership of the AER looking at the applications themselves, it will take quite a bit longer than a routine application."
Plains Midstream's parent company, Plains All-American Pipeline, did not respond to a request for comment Monday.
In March, the Alberta Energy Regulator issued a report that concluded Plains Midstream didn't inspect the Rangeland pipeline often enough, didn't pay enough attention to government warnings, failed to enact adequate mitigation measures once the leak occurred and communicated poorly with hundreds of people affected by the spill in June 2012.
"Plains failed to apply appropriate mitigation measures according to its own hazard assessment," it said.
The 2012 spill — which led then-premier Alison Redford to call for a review of pipeline integrity in the province — was discovered when landowners just north of Sundre began phoning in reports of smelling rotten eggs, the telltale odour of sour gas or sour oil. The spill was soon tracked to Jackson Creek, which flows into the Red Deer River.
Heavy rains had recently swollen the flow in the creek to 10 times the normal amount.
The regulator concluded the heavy flow eroded the riverbed around the pipe and exposed it. The pipeline then experienced a "guillotine failure" at a weld circling the pipe.
Colin Kure, who has a farm near the river and was one of the first to report the spill, said Monday the charges are a good sign but he doesn't have a lot of confidence there won't be more spills.
"All I can say it's a wake-up call," he said. "I think the AER is going to be more attentive than they have been in the past but the province is not doing enough to protect the Eastern Slopes watershed."
He said the province should require companies to have shut-off valves at every river crossing that automatically engage if there's a pressure release.
Although the AER report concluded there were no structural problems with the 50-year-old Rangeland line, the investigation found the frequency of the company's inspections met neither provincial rules nor its own guidelines.
Plains also failed to take advantage of high stream flow warnings to isolate and purge the pipeline section, the report states.
Booms to catch oil were set up downstream on the Gleniffer reservoir, a popular boating and recreation lake. The marina and campground were closed and fishing shut down.
Drinking water was trucked in for people in 750 recreation lots and permanent homes. Rafting, fishing and guiding businesses were affected.
More than 170 people were at one time cleaning up the 475,000-litre spill with lake-surface skimmers and absorbent pads along the creek.
In a statement in March, Plains Midstream said the company is reviewing the regulator's report and is working to meet its requirements.
Barter said the charges are the first the AER has laid since taking over that responsibility from Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development on March 29.
Mike Hudema, climate and energy campaigner for Greenpeace Canada, said Monday the charges are good news.
"We're glad that charges were finally laid in this incident, but it's definitely disappointing that it has taken so long and it does beg the question whether more should be done given the severity of the lapses of Plains Midstream — everything from failing to inspect their pipelines properly to failing to heed government warnings to failing to really alert the public properly.
"All of those potentially suggest more should be done. I think the incident itself is really emblematic itself of a lot of different pipeline problems to hit the province and those problems have still yet to be addressed."

IRI-everywhere I am the issue owner of http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdf-charmod-uris, and wished to share some of the analysis that I did in applying the lessons of Charmod to URIs in RDF. The main function of a URI/IRI in RDF is as a name, just like in XML namespaces. Being able to retrieve a URL is of less interest. Three levels of IRI definition Allow (nearly) any Unicode The XLink href text, and the XML System Literal text (though erratum) provide a working definition of an IRI that allows any Unicode string that would %-escape to a URI. Disallow non-NFC A theme in charmod is the important of NFC, and early uniform normalization. We analyzed this and found security issues when two XLink style URIs differ only in normalization (two different names look the same, and hence cannot be visually distinguished: see: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Mar/0027.html The two strings: "/André" "/André" are not identical but look the same, and IRIs including these strings hence are different, but visually indistinguishable names) Hence, in the IRI draft and in the current RDF WDs the identifiers must be in NFC. In XML Namespaces 1.1, when used within XML 1.1, this restriction (that IRIs must be in NFC) is implicit. While XML Namespaces 1.1 does not mention normalization, since an XML 1.1 document must be fully normalized, all attribute values are in NFC, including those for xmlns attributes. Disallow certain BiDi The IRI draft also considers problems to do with BiDi text. I don't pretend to understand these. Further Unicode character sequences, which involve right-to-left characters and other bidi markup, which are legal under XLink href, are not legal as IRIs according to the IRI draft. This part of the IRI draft, is, as far as I am aware, still cooking. IRI equality The definition of equality between identifiers is important for any system like XML Namespaces or RDF which uses URIs/IRIs as names rather than as URLs. This notion of equality differs from operational equivalence. (Note the HTTP spec, when discussing equality of http URLs, is essentially discussing operational equivalence, rather than abstract equality of names). Identity - Character by Character The simplest notion of equality is found in the XML Namespaces spec (both 1.0 and 1.1) i.e. character by character equality. This is good from an implementors point of view; and easy to explain to users. Same Resource? Scheme specifc equality Another intuitive sense of equality is that the two URIs/IRIs identify the same resource. Attempting to capture this would involve both generic processing to do with case, %-escapes, IANA protocol numbers, etc. and scheme specific processing. Even then, such an implementation would not fully capture this intuitively appealing concept of equality. Same URI - (ASCII) URI as value space for anyURI When faced with IRIs as a migration from URIs it is tempting to define equality of IRIs as two IRIs are equal if their URIs are equal. This essentially punts the question, and typical involves URI character-by-character equality. It also raises stupid questions about %7E and %7e ... From an application point of view, defining equality in this way creates work: a.. the original characters (the IRI) must be retained, in order to redisplay the identifier to the user in the manner they expect. b.. either the %-escaping must be repeatedly performed or the value cached, both of which adds significant overhead. c.. When two different IRIs %-escape to the same URI (possible when one IRI is already, perhaps partially, %-escaped) and the associated concepts get merged, the application will probably retain one, and arbitratily discard t he other, leading to potential user confusion. d.. It may be necessary to normalize case of hexadecimal characters in % escape sequences, this runs counter to the lack of case normalization in URI comparison. Conclusion and Proposed Actions I think there are good arguments, presented in Charmod, for requiring NFC. I think there are good arguments for, when an IRI is being used as an identifier, then equality of IRIs should be character-by-character comparison. I think the sooner an I18N-WG recommendation has normative text defining IRIs the better. I think this should not be made dependent on resolving the bidi issues that are hard. Current State-of-Art=Disallow non-NFC In specs that are already at full recommendation we have IRI support allowing any unicode. In specs nearing completion such as Namespaces 1.1 (within XML 1.1) we have the proposal that IRIs should be in NFC. I think that the W3C should have this as the current expectation on WGs - the specs should support IRIs (without the BiDi) and should require full normalization. Replace Charmod Section 8 with explicit text I understand that charmod is currently held up, partly because of its dependence on IRI-draft. Thus I propose that the following modifications be made to charmod, and that it moves to Candidate/Proposed Rec. - delete normative text in section 8 Character Encoding in URI References - add text defining an IRI, similar to that in XML Namespaces 1.1, XLink, or the RDF concepts WD, with the explicit constraint that IRIs are in NFC. - add an eratum to the charmod erratum page with fragID #IRI and text - "No IRI erratum at present." - add a note to section 8 of charmod suggesting that the reader refer to that erratum - add a constraint in section 8 that documents and implementations SHOULD not use right to left or bidi characters in IRIs - add a note explaining that IRI-draft does address bidi, but this is still in development Once IRI-draft is a recommendation, then update the erratum against charmod replacing section 8 with: [[Note: this section is deleted. However, specs, implementations and documents MUST conform with IRI]] This will allow XML Namespaces 1.1 and other documents to normatively refer to a definition of IRI. Moreover, once bidi in IRI is cooked, new specs will be able to refer to IRI. Jeremy Carroll.Received on Tuesday, 12 November 2002 14:16:58 UTC

Last night at the Academy of Country Music Awards, Tim McGraw was scheduled to perform but bailed at the 11th hour over what was called by his publicists a "major disagreement" with the show's producers. Ew.com is reporting that Tim was unhappy with his stage design.
Are you a fussy bitch?
Are you too cranked up on your own ego, among other things?
Fortunately this disagreement did not turn violent. Not exactly a sexy beast move to pitch a diva fit over something as innocuous as what the backdrop might look like during your performance, but then again, some things don't always make you happy.

"I grew up not having gloves and things to play with and not having good fields to play on, and that's what the Junior Giants does. They supply the kids with good equipment, they build fields for them to play on. I think that's a good thing."
"I have found the Junior Giants program to be one of the best supported programs for children that I have been involved with during the past 20 years. I am continually amazed by how the Junior Giants program continues to find ways to improve each year. The support that the leagues receive from the organization is fantastic!"
"This organization brings Christmas in June for so many young children. The look on their face when you give them a new glove; the excitement in their eyes and bright smiles that shine from ear to ear. The laughter and cheer you hear from the field when they get their first hit or catch their first fly ball. The dreams and hopes they make come true for players and parents."
"The Giants Community Fund is an outstanding example of the impact that can be achieved when you combine the power of sports and social action to help enhance the health and well-being of communities."
"I am proud to be associated with this wonderful group of people who share the same vision as I, in providing a safe and caring place for kids to play baseball and learn life lessons through sports."
"The support we receive from the Giants Community Fund is just amazing. We do not have any other single relationship that lets us raise awareness and financial support allowing us to provide vital services to victims and survivors of domestic violence."

Americans To Save Their Tax RefundsFebruary 24, 2012
More Americans intend to save—rather than spend—their federal tax refunds this year, according to the National Retail Federation's "Tax Returns Consumer Survey" conducted by consumer-intelligence firm BIGinsight.
Two-thirds of taxpayers are expecting a refund this year—the exact same as last year. Nearly 44% of them are expected to stash away some of their refund in savings—the most in the survey's nine-year history (and up 2% from last year).

Capable of seeing, smelling, cutting, pasting, writing, erasing, heating, cooling, diagnosing, healing, and communicating, light is known to be universal, and pervasive and as such a tool for EVERYTHING. By studying light, ICFO researchers are actively pushing the farthest frontier of our understanding of nature and our ability to manipulate it, thus tackling major challenges faced in all areas of society and by industrial progress.
Performing tasks such as isolating and interrogating single atoms, cutting single neurons, or imaging hidden tumors in deep tissue, requires tools that operate at the realm of ultrafast, ultracold, ultragentle or ultraprecise, to an extent that often only light can afford.
As an industrial tool, light provides solutions that may be simpler, more compact or cheaper than other approaches. Technologies based or enabled by light are in myriad industrial products and services related to health, security, safety, energy, communications, information, food, agriculture, entertainment, and endless industrial production, inspection and manufacturing processes.
In addition to the wider research thrusts of Health, Energy and Information, research at ICFO aims to have a far reaching impact on the Environment (monitoring and sensing) as well as the development of new tools for Safety in all areas of our lives. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of photonics, research areas often overlap in terms of areas of applications and research groups effectively benefit from the specializations of scientists from a mix of backgrounds including Physics, Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, and Clinicians.

Drunken driver who killed nun sentenced to 8 years
Remorse doesn't save man from prison after pleading guilty in intoxication manslaughter case
Marcos Garza broke down in tears Wednesday after admitting to a sin he committed that some would say is completely unforgivable: He drove drunk one Sunday morning two years ago and struck a car driven by a beloved nun who later died.
The 21-year-old told jurors deciding his fate in an intoxication manslaughter trial that he went to the victim's grave, sank to his knees and begged for her forgiveness.
"I'm very sorry," he sobbed during testimony. "I would do anything to take her place."
The nuns who worked with Sister Therese Cecilia Huong Do have forgiven Garza. The young man is remorseful, has volunteered and took his first Communion since the May 22, 2011, wreck.
But a Harris County jury was less forgiving Wednesday as they sentenced Garza to eight years in prison and said he used his car as a deadly weapon.
"He's certainly disappointed," attorney Tucker Graves said of his client. "If ever there was an intoxication manslaughter case that deserved probation, it was this."
Garza faced 20 years in prison after pleading guilty this week to intoxication manslaughter. His lawyer asked for probation; prosecutors wanted jail time.
"This is a defendant who was driving home drunk who t-bones a nun," prosecutor Britni Cooper told jurors. "This is an egregious set of facts."
She said Garza, who was drinking at a party despite being underage, spent a night in jail for public intoxication in January 2011.
"That should have been a wake-up call," Cooper said. "That was his 'second chance' to do right."
The nuns who watched from the courtroom said Garza deserves mercy.
"His actions took away her life and her ministry here on Earth," said Sister Bernadette, one of the Dominican Sisters of Mary Immaculate Province. "His life was spared for a purpose and for a reason, and we want him to live his life in her honor and to carry on her legacy."
Garza was charged with intoxication manslaughter after the nun died a day after the wreck. South Houston police officers arrived at the scene in the 900 block of Minnesota about 5 a.m.
Sister Therese was on her way to her mother's home to pick up food for a youth retreat.
Police found her trapped behind the steering wheel of her Honda Civic. They found Garza leaning against his GMC Sierra pickup truck, according to court records. He ran a stop sign at 50 mph, and she was driving about 40 mph, according to testimony.
The nun was taken by Life Flight helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital.
Garza was taken into custody and a mandatory blood test showed his blood alcohol content was .20, more than twice the legal limit of .08.
After the jury's decision, the nun's sister, Hannah Do, dressed Garza down in a victim impact statement.
"You have taken someone of so much worth," Do cried. "Unfortunately, you will never get to meet her."

What started as a desire to make modest girls' and women's clothing became a labor of love as the Hebert family embarked on the journey of adoption. Seeking to raise the funds to give two Ethiopian children a loving home, the Hebert women set to work making skirts and dresses for sale with all of the proceeds going to their adoption fund.
Their simple styles, coupled with warm, cheerful prints will get you feeling bright and cheery in no time! Spring thaw….bring it on!
Did I mention…they have snoods, too!
Thanks, Malaika, for such a nice review! I'm especially excited to get my hands on some of those snoods. For those of you who don't know but are terribly curious — snoods are like big, chunky hair nets a la 1950s diner waitress or medieval fairs – style it however you like, I think snoods are the best thing since sliced bread.

Alabama Counties: Marengo County
Click on the map to get a detailed image of the county
Provided by Alabama Maps
Marengo County was created by the Alabama Territorial legislature on 1818 Feb. 6, from land acquired from the Choctaw Indians by the treaty of 1816 Oct. 24. The name of the county was suggested by Judge Abner Lipscombe, and was given as a compliment to the first white settlers, expatriated French citizens and commemorative of Napoleon's great victory at Marengo over the Austrian armies on 1800 June 14.
Marengo County is situated in the west-central part of the state. It is bordered by Hale, Greene, Perry, Dallas, Wilcox, Clarke, Choctaw and Sumter counties. It encompasses 982 square miles. The county seat was originally known as "Town of Marengo." In 1823 the name was changed to Linden, a shortened version of "Hohenlinden," scene of a French victory in Bavaria in 1800. Other towns and communities include Demopolis, where French expatriates settled and formed the Vine and Olive Colony, Myrtlewood and Sweet Water. Courthouse fires occurred in 1848 and 1965.

Glugle Gluten-Free
We are a website that is a hub for all things gluten-free. Currently, our site is full of information on Celiac Disease/gluten intolerance/gluten sensitivity. We will be linking to other gluten-free websites, such as: medical information sites, blogs, recipes, products, reviews, books, etc. We will eventually be having a newsletter, and hope to sell products on our site that we believe in.
We will be redesigning our whole website in the future, so this could lead to future project/s.
Newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease/gluten intolerance or gluten sensitivity. Relatives and friends who want to understand more. Those who have been living with Celiac Disease/gluten intolerance or gluten sensitivity for a while.
This will be a website about mostly food. We want them to be hungry.
Also, medical professionals/dietitians who already know of Celiac Disease and want to send their patients to our site for information and help, as well as medical professionals/dietitians who want to get more informed.
We want a logo that is authoritative, but also accessible. The newly diagnosed should feel the information is reliable. But the people who have been coming to our site for a while should feel happy to come back to check out information, articles, products and recipes. We want a feel of going to your best friend who is really smart, always well-informed, reads a lot, but never makes you feel dumb for not being as smart. Her door is always open, and she always has coffee brewing and pours you a cup as you come in to talk in her kitchen. You always look for an excuse to go visit.
Things we like:
1. We seem to like oranges and yellows. Please look at our current website to see how we want it to interact. http://www.glugleglutenfree.com
2. Mostly women look for information, but not ONLY women. We want it to appeal to both sexes while being very slightly slanted feminine.
3. Please include the TM with the circle for trademark. (see attached files)
What we don't want:
1. No strong pinks. If it's included, it would have to be well incorporated to not stand out.
2. No red circle with a slash over a wheat stalk. It's been done too much already.
3. No cartoon characters.
Other than that, please be creative. We love creativity. Please see attached files for what we have been using as logos, as well as look at the website above. But don't feel you need to stick with what we have been using.

I decided to decorate my mantel this year with natural colors and I'm so glad I did. I think it looks so good with the Texas stone of our fireplace. Please enjoy looking at the pictures...I have so many more decorations to show you and alot of crafts that I have made too.
I had the little trees from the past years and simply wrapped some burlap on the bases and tied it with twine.
The Happy Holidays ribbon came from Michael's and I adhered it with scrapbooking tape!
I scored some miscellaneous branches at the Michael's sale when it opened on Thanksgiving Day for 40% off with an additional 30% off my total purchase. I tied them all together with floral wire and finished it off with some burlap ribbon.
My favorite part of the mantel is the wreath. It is a Martha Stewart wreath from Home Depot and I just simply made a bow out of the ribbon I had and affixed it with floral wire.
I hope you've enjoyed looking at the Christmas mantel and sorry I've been MIA for so long. I've missed sharing with all of you. Hope you have a great weekend!

Veteran Voice is a weekly publication designed to provide information to and about veterans to veterans and to the broader community. Veterans are an integral part of their Florida communities, which currently have individual organizations of their own, such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, the Vietnam Veterans of America and many other groups with a narrow focus, but no convenient way to connect to a wider population of veterans and to the community in general within a limited geographic area, their community. The mission of Veteran Voice is to publish a weekly source of information that will provide, in one place, a listing of resources available to veterans, articles about changes in policies or organizations affecting veterans and events of interest to veterans as well as articles about veterans of interest to the general public. Veteran Voice LLC is organized as a partnership of experienced newspaper executives with an interest in veterans and in the communities of Florida veterans and friends. Veteran Voice is a start-up intended to address a perceived lack of information readily available to veterans on programs and policies affecting them and objective reporting of veteran affairs to the public. To our knowledge, and based on comments from lead ers of local veterans organizations, there was no media or website currently meeting this need until the launch of Veteran Voice. We hope you agree, and will support this publica tion with your subscription. Without subscriptions there will be a limited number of people we can help, without which this mission will not be realized. As part of our commitment to supporting local veteran communities, our readers and subscribers.

If you've just started trying to attract birds to your backyard, you may be unsure about what kind of seed you should pick for your backyard feeders (or even what feeder to start with!). Don't worry! We've got you covered with these three basic seed types: nyjer, safflower and sunflower. What kind of seed you should set out depends on what kind of feeder you have and what types of birds you want to attract. Here's what you need to know to make your backyard more inviting for hungry birds.
1. Nyjer
Lure finches and chickadees with nyjer, a tiny black seed that is sometimes called thistle. Bonus! Bully birds tend to leave nyjer alone.
2. Safflower
Serve safflower in a hopper feeder for cardinals, grosbeaks and house finches to devour. Remember: It may take a while for the birds to get acquainted with the seed.
3. Sunflower
This food deserves the No. 1 spot in your yard! Sunflower seeds, both in the shell and out-of-shell meats appeal to finches, chickadees, nuthatches, grosbeaks, cardinals, jays and even some woodpeckers. Because sunflower seeds are delicious to so many species, including some large undesirable birds, they're best served in feeders that allow only small songbirds to perch on or enter the feeding chamber.
Now that you've picked the seed, it's time to pick the right feeder!
Tray feeders are flat platforms that attract a variety of seed-eaters. Look for one with holes to allow rain or snow drainage.
Tube feeders are cylinders with mesh or plastic-coated wire screens. They're great for small birds, such as finches, chickadees and nuthatches.
Hopper feeders have an enclosed reservoir for seeds that slides food down to the open feeding tray below. Plus, seed stays dry! Woodpeckers, grosbeaks and blue jays frequent these feeders.

dogzonline precisava de um novo design de logo e criou um concurso na 99designs.
Um vencedor foi selecionado entre 89 designs enviados por 41 designers freelancers.
Logo required for popular pure breed dog site in Australia. (and variations for New Zealand and UK site)
Australia's Pure Breed Dog Community
Desired Color Scheme:
No specific colours
Desired Style:
Accepted File Formats:
psd, vector, and jpg
New logo required for pending re-design of existing web site http://www.dogzonline.com.au
The web site promotes pure breed dogs only and appeals to anyone who loves dogs.
The new site will be CSS2 and colours etc will be based on new logo design. (There will more than likely be another competition soon for the site's template)
New Dogz Online web sites are also being launched in New Zealand (http://www.dogzonline.co.nz) and the United Kingdom (http://www.dogzonline.co.uk) shortly so the logo should be able to be used for all three sites. (The domain suffix on the logo will be obviously different for each site's logo but if somebody wanted to include some other small variation so that you could see at a glance what country's site you were visting, it would be great - this however is not a requirement).
The logo should be more wider than high (ie rectangular rather than square).
It will be also used for promotional items (ie embroidered shirts, caps etc) so please be mindful of this. (Looking at a maximum of 4 colours).
Should be eyecatching and instantly recognisable.
If a dog is used in the logo, it is preferred that it is not a single breed of dog as we want to promote all pure breeds (and don't want to appear to choose one over any other breed). We also don't want it to be obvously a mutt. .... maybe some sort of abstract dog if you use one or have more than one breed in the logo.
Tagline can be included or not.

Onions are endlessly versatile and an essential ingredient in countless recipes. Native to Asia…
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh root ginger
- 3 garlic cloves, finely sliced
- 2 red chillies, both deseeded, one chopped and one thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp soft brown sugar, plus 1 tsp
- 3 star anise
Star anisestar an-eese
Star anise is one of the central spices in Chinese cooking. It has a strong anise flavour, with…
- 2 lemongrass stalks, tough outer leaves removed, then bruised
- 1.2l lamb stock
- 1½ tbsp tomato purée
- 4 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into big chunks

Remove the lamb and add the onions. Fry them quite briskly, about 30 secs, add the ginger, garlic and chopped chilli, then turn the heat down and cook for 1 min. Add 1 tbsp sugar, stir, then add the star anise, lemongrass, stock, purée and seasoning. Bring to the boil.
Cover and cook in the oven for 1½ hrs, then add the sweet potatoes and cook for 1 hr more. The lamb should be completely tender and almost falling off the bones. Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice and 1 tsp sugar to just lift the flavour, then scatter with the mint, basil and the sliced chilli to serve.
Recipe Tip
Diana says...'The warming aroma of star anise wafting through the house is an antidote to the more traditional Christmas scents. Stir-fried bok choi or Savoy cabbage and plain boiled rice are great on the side. This freezes well. Defrost completely before heating on the stove top and add the lime juice and herbs just before serving.'

I have a small toy script in Mathematica that I am trying to use to evaluate the pdf of $Y$ where $Y=X^2$, and $X$ is uniformly distributed in $[0,a]$.
The script is,
assum = {a > 0};
Subscript[P, X][x_] := If[Inequality[0, Less, x, LessEqual, a], 1/a, 0];
Y[x_] := x^2
Subscript[F, Y][y_] := Integrate[If[Y[x] <= y, 1, 0]*Subscript[P, X][x],
{x, -Infinity, Infinity}]
Subscript[P, Y][y_] := D[Subscript[F, Y][y], y]
It shows the correct form of the pdf:
Simplify[Subscript[P, Y][y], assum]
Piecewise[{{1/(2*a*Sqrt[y]), y > 0 && a^2 >= y}}, 0]
However, it doesn't evaluate the expression correctly:

SANTA CRUZ — A Fremont third-grade teacher described as an experienced hiker failed to return home Sunday from a backpacking trip in the Sierras.
Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks officials issued a missing person alert Tuesday for Gregory Muck, 46, who lives in Santa Cruz.
A Fremont Unified School District site lists Muck as a teacher at Gomes Elementary School, where classes will start Aug. 27.
His wife, Shannon Muck, who has been waiting by the phone anxiously with the couple's 5-year-old daughter Delphina, said she is doing OK. Her husband's rare divergence from his schedule has made her nervous, she said.
"He's been doing it for 19 years, and he's not been delayed before, except for one time when his friend sprained his ankle. He went out on the 10th of August and was supposed to return on the 17th and has yet to return," Shannon Muck said. "We have a 5-year-old, and he used to go out for two weeks, but now he only goes out for one, because he doesn't want to be away from her or me."
Gregory Muck graduated from UC Santa Cruz a year ago and completed his first year of teaching in May. Shannon Muck said, "crazier things have happened," but she does not believe that he would vanish on purpose, just as he is settling into his new career.
Park officials are asking anyone who may have seen Muck between Aug. 10 and 17 in Kings Canyon National Park to contact park services at 559-565-3118, or 888-677-2746, and to leave a name, contact information and additional details. Muck's backpacking itinerary, according to park officials, was to start from Roads End in Cedar Grove to Gardiner Basin, via Gardiner Pass. After several days, he was due to travel out Gardiner Creek and through Woods Creek, to Roads End in Cedar Grove.
Muck was last seen sporting a bushy beard, and wearing a bright blue shirt, green wool pants, black boots and a blue bandanna. His pack is a red internal frame pack with a blue tarp or possible orange tent. He also may have fishing gear.
"The search and rescue has just been phenomenal. They have someone that I can call at any time and contact with questions. They're very thorough, very professional and warm, and just amazing, for sure," Shannon Muck said of park officials she is working with to find her husband.


text: You can't go far without seeing disturbing images as millions of gallons of oil threaten the Gulf's irreplaceable ecosystem. We'd like to share that the National Aquarium is poised to lend assistance. As an active member of the Northeast Region Stranding Network, we are closely connected with agencies responding to this disaster. We were notified to expect requests for help with the sea turtles injured by the oil. We are assessing our facility and have a team of highly skilled staff members ready to help. Animals and oil are coming ashore now in significant numbers and response efforts must be coordinated, far-reaching and long term. This man-made disaster has the potential to be devastating to these fragile animals. There are only seven species of sea turtles in the world, and all of them are endangered or threatened, at risk of being wiped out completely. Five of these vulnerable species frequent the Gulf of Mexico to breed and to lay their eggs. We believe the stakes are too high not to invest the time and resources to help as many turtles as possible. Truly, every sea turtle counts. Beyond this disaster, we remain committed to caring for stranded animals in our own mid-Atlantic region. This Saturday, June 19, we are proudly releasing three rare Kemp's Ridley sea turtles that have been under our care since December. The turtles came to the National Aquarium from New England and Delaware, suffering from cases of cold stunning- the sea turtle equivalent of hypothermia. After six months of rehabilitation by The National Aquarium's Animal Rescue team, the turtles, named Marshall, Patterson, and Hampden, are ready to return to their ocean home! They will be escorted from Baltimore to the southern tip of Maryland in our new Official Conservation Vehicle, a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid. The move marks the first of many animal rescue efforts that will take place as part of the ongoing partnership between the National Aquarium and Chevrolet. The public is invited to join the Aquarium and Chevrolet on the beach at Point Lookout State Park for an 11:00 a.m. release. Many of you have contacted us asking how you can help. As we all brace for the long road ahead in the Gulf, we ask that you please consider a tax-deductible contribution to National Aquarium's Animal Rescue. Beyond this disaster, we remain committed to caring for stranded animals in our own mid-Atlantic region and we expect that program to remain busy. Your contribution helps us continue that important work while we assist with the catastrophic results of this oil spill in the Gulf.

The governors of Indiana and Illinois have given their endorsement to a planned 47-mile expressway aimed at relieving traffic congestion in the Chicago area and creating jobs in both states.
The support comes before a vote on the expressway expected Friday morning by the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning's transportation committee.
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence both threw their support behind the proposed Illiana Expressway during a regional summit Friday at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. The expressway would link would link Interstate 65 near Lowell, Ind., in the state's northwestern corner with Interstate 55, near Wilmington, Ill., south of Chicago.
"Whether it's the Illiana or any mode of transportation, you have to go where the demand is," Quinn told about 200 people who attended the meeting.
At a later panel discussion, Pence also gave the project his endorsement, saying "you have to think regionally, because roads don't stop at state borders."
"We look forward to the state of Illinois doing its part, but the state of Indiana wants to make it clear we want this project to go forward," Pence said.
The governors' thumbs-up comes in the face of mounting opposition to the proposed highway in Chicago, where a vote will take place in two weeks.
The proposed road has also been controversial in northwestern Indiana among residents living in its proposed path, the Times of Munster reported (http://bit.ly/15BuNce ).
Former CenterPoint Properties CEO Michael Mullen said during a panel discussion that the expressway would help get trucks off local roads from intermodal facilities like the one his company developed a decade ago in Joliet, Ill.
"There are naysayers that don't quite get it," Mullen said of the proposed highway. "But I welcome anyone to drive down there and see the amount of truck traffic moving out of there."
Friday's three-state summit that also included Wisconsin officials was convened as a follow up on a study done by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which emphasized the need for the Milwaukee-Chicago-Gary area to develop their economies as one.

Libraries: Not About Books
Hang out a little bit in library-land, and you'll soon hear the talk about books.
Or, rather, not about books.
Yes, libraries are about more than books. I totally agree. No argument there.
But it does disappoint that "more than books" has become "not about books."
LISnews offers up Ten Librarian Blogs to Read in 2010. The standard? "to help highlight people writing in the many different areas of librarianship. Those people who are doing some of the most interesting and original writing on the web. Each year we've attempted to gather a group of librarians whose writing helps increase our understanding of the profession and it's place in our rapidly changing world. Again this year we tried to choose 10 writers who cover very different aspects of our profession, 10 sites that inform, educate and maybe amuse. By following these blogs I think you'll find something new to read, and a place to gain better understanding of a part of librarianship that's outside of your normal area. We all have much to learn from each other, and these bloggers are working hard to share their knowledge and understanding with you."
Now, before you start thinking of the various librarians who blog about books and publishing, and wonder who has been picked to "inform, educate and maybe amuse", I'll save you the trouble.
One book blog; Awful Library Books: "This site is a collection of public library holdings that we find amusing and maybe questionable for public libraries trying to maintain a current and relevant collection. Contained in this site are actual library holdings." It was hard to pass up Awful Library Books. You can't help but ask, "what were they thinking when they picked THAT book?"
Don't get me wrong. Love that blog. It's funny. But its more about weeding and collection development. It's more a look at retro books....
Oh. I get it! Libraries are the future! Books are the past!
LISnews has some great librarian blogs listed; don't get me wrong.
But libraryland doesn't usually include books, publishing, reading, readers advisory (and those who blog about them) in lists such as this. Hang out in libraryland, and you find all sorts of things about technology and community and marketing etc etc. But books? Publishing? Readers Advisory? Not so much.
Take a look at Library 101. No, go look. It's "101 Resources & Things to Know." Great list, right? Makes you really think about your own skills, and patrons, and what your library does and does not do. But "the basics have changed". And guess what is not there? There is Facebook. Digital books. Downloadable books. Why, shiny techy things. Nice. I like shiny.
And then: "Stereotypes will fade away in the library of the future. Like what? We're talking about things like this: the librarian sitting behind a desk much of the day, using primarily in-house, offline resources, relying mostly on books and letting books be our primary "brand" association for our users; shushing; largely letting people come to us rather than being where our users are; often resisting emerging technology due to expense, fear or the much-used "That's not the way we've always done it" excuse. Making these things go away now is a choice for us; eventually, they will be thrust upon us in often unpleasant ways."
Oh. Books are stereotypes of libraries, to fade away unless you're helping someone print out a POD copy.
I commented at Library 101 about books (Novelist! Book blogging communities that use all that shiny technology!),and Libraryman (one of the Library 101 gurus) responded that they made "*our* library 101 knowing other folks would put different things on their Library 101 lists (not that we really think people will do this, but you know, its a conversation starter/thought exercise anyway). One things I wish is that we had made this more clear so that some folks wouldn't think we actually though *we* could make everybody's 101 basics. Well, that and we wish a handful of people out there would have read things more carefully to know this, but I digress.. I totally agree that the things you listed are quite important and I'm glad you mentioned them."
I get it; their list, not for everyone, cannot include everything. But that there isn't one real bookish thing on the list? In a list made by two high profile librarians? With essays by other high profile librarians? The message to me: books aren't considered, not even when thinking "hey, have we covered all our bases?" And by books, I mean: publishing. Collection development. Readers advisory. Reviews. All things which take work, skills, education, practice. All things which use technology.
Libraries are more than books; but that belief seems to have shifted to one of libraries being about things other than books.
It's 2010 and guess what?
It's not your Grandma's library.
But readers are still using your library.
Readers ares still working in your library.
And no, they're not shushing you.
Librarians who practice readers advisory are reinventing what this means, using blogs and Twitter and all those other shiny things. They take RA beyond the desk, creating online resources and holding discussions using technology.
Databases such as Novelist provide information on books.
Librarians who blog are discussing serious concerns about collection development and who decides what books your patrons read. Now that KIRKUS is gone, the remaining professional review journals have more power. What are the philosophies of those journals? What does it mean to have a narrowing of professional reviews?
What about librarians who participate in book blogs and the book and lit blog community?
And publishing! Instead of sitting back and wondering about things like diversity in books, librarians are trying to make a difference by blogging that yes, their patrons do want and need diverse books.
It's a rich world out there.
My suggestions for must-reads, especially for those who may be up on technology but not so much on the book world:
Fuse No. 8 at School Library Journal. Reviews, publishing news, interviews, press releases, video, serious, funny. Any "must read" list of librarian blogs that does not include Elizabeth Bird of New York Public Library is a list that says, "we're not really looking at books when we make our lists, thanks."
Roger Sutton at Read Roger, the Horn Book Blog. Who has a MLS so is a librarian! He's opinionated as hell and not afraid to stir the pot. Also? It's fantabulous that the editor of the Horn Book blogs fearlessly. And honestly? When one is trying to prove the worth of one's blogging (especially when it doesn't get the library laurels) it is very, very helpful to point to Roger's blog to show it is acceptable and professional to blog and to be fearless in blogging.
Oh, official publication blogs don't count?
I give you Bookshelves of Doom. One of the most unique voices out there; and also covers publishing, books, reviews. And so much more. Works at a library in Maine.
There are many other librarian book blogs. Being a children's/teen librarian, my suggestions are from the children's/teen book blog world. Have other suggestions, especially beyond children's/teen book blogs? Share in the comments!
One final point. I love LISnews; I read those libraryland blogs and gain valuable things from them. I want to post more on the enthusiasm in Library 101. I adore libraries and what they can contribute to communities. It's just that I believe that when people think "books = libraries," people are telling us something important. We should value those in our profession who use blogs and technology to bring the right book to the right person.

Day 2: Battle Animation
Before dawn, Moore orders his company commanders to meet him prior to an attack to rescue the still cut-off platoon. Before this meeting takes place, the PAVN launch a heavy attack which shatters the early-morning stillness like a huge explosion. The attack is carried out by the 7th Bn, 66th Regiment and the H-15 Main Force Viet Cong Bn.
C Company of the Cavalry Battalion bears the brunt of the assault and is soon involved in hand to hand combat. The right portion of D/1/7 is also struck. The code word "Broken Arrow" is sent out over the radio by the Battalion Forward Air Controller. Within minutes, all available fighter bombers in South Vietnam are headed for X-ray to render close air support to "an American unit in grave danger of being overrun". A 3 hour battle that features non-stop 105mm artillery (8" artillery also participated), aerial rockets, and determined American Infantrymen, results in Charlie Company holding it's ground in a stunning display of personal courage and unit discipline. But it pays a terrible price - no officers left and only 49 men unhurt. 42 officers and men killed; 20 wounded. Scores of slain North Vietnamese and their weapons litter the bloody battleground.
"An as their firin' dies away, the 'usky wisper runs, from lips that 'aven't drunk all day: The guns! Thank Gawd, the guns!"
- Rudyard Kipling
At noon, the 2nd Bn, 5th Cavalry marches into X-ray from a landing zone 2 miles east. Joining with the 7th Cavalry parent company of the cut-off platoon, it continues out unopposed, rescues it, and brings it back with all wounded and dead. Of the 29 man platoon, 9 killed and 13 wounded. When reached, the platoon, which had lost its Platoon leader, Platoon Sgt, and one Squad leader killed, had ammo left to fight with under the leadership of a 3 stripe "Buck Sergeant" Squad Leader (SGT Savage).
C Co 1/7 Cav survivors are replaced on line by the fresh B Co 2nd Bn, 7th Cavalry. The battalion now forms a strong perimeter and prepares for more action in the night. All American dead and wounded are evacuated.

Governor O'Malley's administration just proposed regulations for fracking--a troubling step towards lifting the state's fracking moratorium. I just submitted a public comment telling him not to allow fracking in Maryland.
Will you join me in calling on Governor O'Malley to ban fracking? Click here to read more and submit a comment: http://act.credoaction.com/letter/maryland_regulations_comments?referring_akid=8339.2988458.9RceXq&source=mailto-n1

Race Matters
Document Type
Publication Date
One frequently hears that America has a race problem. We agree, but the race problem we identify is not what is usually meant by those who invoke it. It is not discrimination, intentional or otherwise, but rather obsession with race that is America's more consequential "race problem" today. America has vanquished slavery, segregation, and long-standing racial discrimination only to succumb to an almost equally destructive race obsession. Despite the biological arbitrariness of dividing a single, interbreeding biological species into "races," despite the sorry history legally and socially of the use of race, and despite the civil rights movement's original ambition to substitute the content of character for the color of skin as the basis of decision making, America today is in many ways as race conscious as it was in the era of Jim Crow.
For that reason we welcome David Boonin's Should Race Matter? Boonin takes up five topics that constitute a good portion of the current obsession — reparations, affirmative action, hate speech, hate crimes, and profiling — and he subjects each to philosophical scrutiny. Boonin is sober and fair minded in tone, and purports to be careful and comprehensive in method. Unlike many discussions of race, Boonin's tries to shed light, not heat. He deserves to be read by everyone who takes a serious interest in public policy as it bears on race.
Boonin's book has its limitations, as we will suggest. Moreover, Boonin discusses only race, not sex, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, or sexual preference, although most of the policies he considers have been urged or actually extended beyond race to some or all of these other categories. Nonetheless, Boonin's analyses of these policies as they bear on race would have direct implications for these other categories. Given that Boonin takes 350 pages to examine five racial policies, we think limiting his focus to race was quite justifiable.
Although we believe Boonin's is a worthwhile treatment of contemporary racial policies, we take issue with him on several points. We think that his arguments in support of affirmative action and hate crimes are incomplete and thus unpersuasive, and we consider his case for reparations a failure on its own terms. Nonetheless, we admire the effort at fair-mindedness and the care with which he makes the case for these policies.
