Round VIII of the dialogue between Catholic and Reformed communions is well underway after January's meeting in Austin, TX. The new topic: Ecclesiology.
Ecclesiology studies the nature and meaning of the church. In the context of history, scripture, and tradition, it explores issues such as authority, governance, and the mission of God's church, especially examining ministry as it relates to and flows out of sacramental theology.
The theme for the current round of Catholic-Reformed dialogue takes up ecclesiological issues that were identified by participants on all sides of the dialogue during Round VII as clear points of both convergence and divergence. Dialogue members feel that a return to these questions is timely, building on the foundation of unity that was established by the last round's Baptism Agreement.
In 1965 four denominations of the Reformed family of churches and representatives of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops launched an official conversation in the United States. The United Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the Presbyterian Church (U.S.), the Reformed Church in America and the United Church of Christ appointed a team of pastors, theologians and lay members to initiate an ongoing consultation. At several points, other members of the Reformed family, such as the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, the Christian Reformed Church and the Hungarian Reformed Church, have joined in the process.The first round in the series met to discuss and share their insights on the topics of revelation, the scriptures, and tradition. This work was foundational to the continued collaboration on various topics. Over its lifetime this consultation has produced eight important publications.
Latest Dialogue Notes: March 2014
In January 2013, leaders from these five denominations stood before the entire body of Christian Churches Together (CCT), with its more than 35 member churches, to publicly celebrate the Common Agreement on the Mutual Recognition of Baptism during an ecumenical prayer service. This statement was developed in 2011 and assures the recognition of sacramental validity between the communities. Members called it a healing moment and a step forward. Please see our latest news release. And see the Catholic response to the reception of the agreement, requiring flowing water and Trinitarian language for baptisms to be scripturally valid.
We have been pleased to see both mainstream and religious news outlets report on this milestone of ecumenical progress. See below a sampling of related articles.

A statewide search and rescue protocol inspired by an Addison County tragedy has passed the Vermont House and Senate and been sent to the Governor's office to be signed into law.
The effort to restructure the state's search and rescue practices was launched by Rep. Willem Jewett, D-Ripton, after the hypothermia death of Levi Duclos, a 19-year-old New Haven resident. Duclos died on a Ripton hiking trail after Vermont State Police failed to initiate a ground search for more than 12 hours after he was reported missing on a frigid night in January 2012.
Public criticism of state police handling of the matter spurred the Legislature to adopt interim search and rescue protocols and to direct a summer study committee to recommend a permanent plan for effective search and rescue across the state.
The final bill leaves statewide jurisdiction for backcountry search and rescues with the Vermont State Police—an approach which was opposed by the Duclos family and many local first responders. The law now mandates a swift response to missing hikers, skiers and boaters, including notification to local law enforcement, first responder and volunteer search and rescue organizations, and fire departments, and instructs the Vermont State Police to share command structure and coordinate its efforts with these groups.
The law also establishes a new position of Statewide Search and Rescue Coordinator, to work within the State Police public information office to share information and training opportunities with search and rescue personnel across the state, tap into potential resources, and engage in public outreach over backwoods safety. The Legislature declined to fund this position, leaving the Department of Public Safety to find funds from within their existing budget.
The House Operations Committee had included an oversight Search and Rescue Council in their original bill. An independent council to engage in after-incident review is a critical component of developing successful search and rescue practices, according to Jocelyn Stohl, retired former leader of the Vermont State Police Search and Rescue Team and now a search and rescue instructor and consultant.
"In the past, at end of any ground SAR event we'd do a debriefing on scene, then hold a critique where the leadership of the participating teams met with the AHJ (agency having jurisdiction) and reviewed case from beginning to end. It was a well-managed process, with everyone able to put forth what they observed," Stohl stated in an earlier interview.
The legislation as passed, however, puts the oversight council under the aegis of the state police, and in a last-minute amendment, the Senate Appropriations Committee removed state legislator participation from the council and mandated that the council sunset in 2017.
The last-minute legislative change required additional approval from the House Government Operations committee, which bowed to the Senate amendment in order to avoid having the bill lapse before the end of the legislative session.
"The two-year sunset was recommended by the Senate. I am not sure what their thinking was about this," said Rep. Donna Sweaney (D-Windsor). "The House Goverment Operations Committee agreed at this point because we wanted to see the bill pass and come into law. We can always revisit the issue at the time of the sunset. It also makes us pay attention to what is happening with the council and the legislation we have put in place."
Jewett also expressed cautious optimism over the limitations on the SAR Council. "I suppose that if the council does its job well, the sunset won't be a big problem. If they don't, then I trust that the general assembly will take this issue up again. Forcing us to check on the status of reform isn't a bad idea," he said.
Both Sweaney and Jewett expressed satisfaction that the bill had passed the Legislature and been sent on to the governor's office for signature.
"I am very pleased with the components of the bill that we all worked so hard to put in place. It took a lot of research from the stakeholders' study committee and the Gov. Ops. Committees in the House and Senate to develop this thoughtful legislation," Sweaney said. "Hopefully we will never again face a tragedy that happened with Levi Duclos. I am very grateful to the Duclos family for their help and dedication in making this law happen."

The DRC voted unanimously Dec. 8 to support the application of Rita's Water Ice to occupy the former site of TLA video at 7630 Germantown Ave. That vote was followed by a Dec. 12 vote by the CHCA board, giving Rita's the go ahead to open.
The motion to approve is conditional on the applicant's agreement to manage the trash that will be generated by the business and to work with the property owner to create a new sign package for the shopping center.
Representing Rita's at the Dec. 8 meeting, Chestnut Hill retail consultant Eileen Reilly introduced near-neighbor Jason Freeland, of the 100 block of West Mermaid Lane. Freeland was on-hand to support Rita's application, saying that there are 13 kids on his block under the age of 12, and that their parents were fully in support of Rita's coming to Chestnut Hill at that location.
Reilly also told the committee that Rita's has three months before the start of its 2012 season, which gives them two months to get signage issues decided and implemented so they can get to work fitting out the location. To facilitate this, she asked the committee to recommend a design professional to help with that process.
"If you have someone that Rita's could work with to get a couple drawings and suggestions … a professional that knows retail but also knows guidelines and appropriate façades, I would pass that on to them," Reilly said.
Seating outside the new Rita's would be portable. It would provide parents with young children and strollers with a place to sit, but would be taken in at night so as to not encourage after-hours loitering.
If all goes well, Rita's will open in Chestnut Hill in March, on the first day of spring.

DNR, Others Warn Against Feeding Minnesota Wolves
BRIMSON (AP) - Worried about wolves becoming too bold around humans, Minnesota wildlife officials are stepping up warnings to people not to feed the animals increasingly wandering along northeastern Minnesota roadways.
The campaign has taken on special significance north of Duluth, where tourists are looking to catch glimpses of wolf pups sometimes by leaving food on the roadside. The pups have readily approached vehicles Minnesota Public Radio News (http://bit.ly/151xWvh ) reported Friday.
Assistant Department of Natural Resources wildlife manager Nancy Hansen says the pups use the stretch of forest near the intersection of two county highways as a rendezvous site while adults in the pack leave to hunt. She says officials cannot relocate the pups, because they would either die away from the pack or just return to the area.

Running Game Bump -- While the Seahawks and Patriots will be two tough customers coming out of the bye, the Jets running game start to grow by leaps and bounds in the coming weeks as those will be the only top ten run defenses from this point on. The rest of the way the running backs should be able to gain more yards on the ground, but the Jets can't continue to expect that Shonn Greene is worthy of carry the ball 20+ times a game and expect their whole offense to benefit from it. The Jets need to get other players like Powell, McKnight and even Hilliard more involved.
Run to Pass -- Tebow is probably not the answer at the QB spot, but if Sanchez isn't capable of demonstrating why he should hold a stranglehold of the starting job, then the Jets do need to figure out a way to use him in a somewhat meaningful way. We're in the midst of saying this til we're blue in the face. If the Jets want to get #15 involved, they have to be comfortable with giving him the freedom to throw the ball. It's obvious the Jets are unwilling to do that through the first half of the season, and that has made him much less deadly in their running game. Essentially neutering what little he could offer this team from his current spot. If the Jets want to see the run the ball well, they've got to let him throw it.
What Passes for Good -- Mark Sanchez has had his worst year as a starter. Yes, the team is devoid of the talent that it had just two years ago. No Braylon, no Tone, no Tomlinson, Dustin Keller just getting healthy ... but all the same, no team can be relied on to give a quarterback that much talent/money/resources pooled to make them a good offense. Sanchez is earning more than most NFL players and the team -whether rightly or wrongly now - banked their future on him. There's no more chance of dumping off the ball to a future hall of famer in Tomlinson. Braylon Edwards can't claw down a high pass in the back of the end zone. The team doesn't have the talent at the skill positions that it once did, but if Sanchez is the player everyone said he was after his first two years, he should be able to elevate his game to the level for the sake of the lesser talent around him ... it's never happened. This two month stretch will determine his future in New York.
The Importance of Third Down -- This defense has always prided themselves on their ability to get off the field on third down. This season, the team has been one of the worst in the league on third downs. It's easy to say they need to be better, but so much goes into that. Revis' absence is certainly a factor but the Jets have to find a way to get better at getting their defense off the field. That of course means that they need to be better against the run, not blow tackles, play tight in coverage and reach the quarterback on passing downs.
Time to Step Up -- Teams are now focusing their attention on Jeremy Kerley, and rightly so. Because of that, players like Stephen Hill, Chaz Schilens and Clyde Gates are going to need to step up. If Kerley is getting extra attention, it means one of them won't be and Sanchez will be looking to get the ball to them. Stephen Hill already has four drops this season, tied for 16th in the NFL right now and two of those drops came in his last two games at crucial times. Hill specifically has to start putting it together for the sake of his team. There was less concern for him to be productive when Santonio was healthy, but that padding has been removed and it's time for him to come on in the second half.
No Deus Ex Machina -- For folks who are tempted to peek ahead, there's little chance that the 2013 quarterback class will resemble the 2012 version. There is no Andrew Luck, there is no RG3. Even if they did dip into the draft ... can you imagine the Jets taking another USC quarterback regardless of how good he might be in the pros? For as good as they are in college, USC's track record isn't that impressive at grooming pro QBs of late. It might be an irrational thought, but to me it seems to really limit their options at the spot. If the Jets are going to consider making a change at that spot, their timing couldn't be worse if they wanted to look to the draft. I truly believe that this last eight games is less about rallying for the playoffs than a tryout for next season. If Sanchez stumbles again, he might be sitting the end of the season on the bench. If he doesn't, then maybe he doesn't have to face an embarrassing quarterback competition come spring camps.

Jirisan National Park, South Korea
Managed by the Korean National Parks Service, Jirisan National Park features a rich diversity of natural, cultural and recreation values and displays a strong connection to Korean legend and mystique. Jirisan is Korea's first National Park and the largest terrestrial protected area in the country. It is defined by snow capped alpine peaks, forest covered ridges and deep valleys. Jirisan is also home to the endangered Asiatic black bear which was reintroduced as part of a conservation program in the national park.
View Photos of the Park
Date created: 1967
Location: Jirisan National Park is located on the Southern section of the Korean Peninsula, spanning over three provinces and five cities.
Area: 47,176 hectares
IUCN category: In 2007, Jirisan National Park was classified as IUCN Category II. Protected areas that fall within this category are large natural or near natural areas set aside to protect large-scale ecological processes, along with the complement of species and ecosystems characteristic of the area, which also provides a foundation for environmentally compatible spiritual, scientific, educational, recreational and visitor opportunities.
Flora and fauna Jirisan is considered a treasure chest of natural wonders. Its flagship species are the Korean Winter Hazel flower and the endangered Asiatic black bear. 1,526 different plant species are found in the park including six endangered species and 107 species endemic to Korea. 2,944 animal species have been recorded in Jirisan National Park including 35 mammal; 88 bird; 11 amphibian; 27 reptile; 31 fish; and 2,752 insect species.
The legend of Jirisan National Park Jirisan has since ancient times, been recognized as one of Korea's legendary mountains and a focal point for the nation's spiritual beliefs. Jirisan National Park is also famous for the fable of the Imugi of the Baemsagol Valley. The Imugi is a kind of anaconda that was sorry not to have turned into a dragon and legend has it that 1,300 years ago the well hidden secret of the Songnimsa Temple located at the entrance to the Baemsagol Valley was revealed. It is said that each year one monk at the temple was sacrificed to an imugi. Upon revelation of the temple's secret, the valley became known as 'Baemsagol' meaning the valley where an imugi, which failed to become a dragon, died.
Preserving South Korea's cultural heritage treasures The Park contains 37 cultural heritage sites known as 'treasures' that are protected under the Korean Cultural Property Protection Law. Seven sites are listed as national treasures due to their national significance. One such national pressure is Hwaecomsa (temple) situated at the centre of one of the National Parks alpine peaks. The temple was constructed by the Buddhist priest, Yeongidaesa during the reign of King Jinheung of Silla in the year 544 and is today considered one of the South Korea's most significant templates. The park also protects 34 cultural heritage treasures and 20 tangible cultural assets.
Jirisan and the bigger protected area picture in South Korea Jirisan National Park is one component of a much bigger protected area system in Korea. The park is situated in the southern section of the nationally significant protected area corridor and buffer zone known as the Baekdudaegan Mountain System (BDMS). The BDMS is the backbone of Korean geography and an irreplaceable habitat for the country's biodiversity. The BDMS covers 260,000 hectares which is approximately 2.6% of South Korea's total land area and 4% of the country's total forest area.
Why should we protect this area? The high biodiversity; geological; cultural; and recreational values make Jirisan National Park worthy of ongoing protection. Jirisan National Park displays a rich biodiversity and protects the core habitats of threatened species including the Asiatic black bear. The Park also displays significant geological features such as alpine wetlands.
The National Park is a unique landscape resource as it protects 61 cultural heritage treasures and cultural assets. It is the fusion of natural and cultural values that makes Jirisan National Park a popular recreation destination for tourists and visitors alike. The Park offers a variety of nature based recreation opportunities including the scenically spectacular Cheonwangbong to Nogodan 25km ridge walk.

A coordinated approach to meeting water and energy demand
22 March 2014 | Article
On World Water Day, IUCN joins the international community in highlighting the close links between water and energy use and the need for a coordinated approach to ensure the world can meet the growing demand for both.
Demand for freshwater and energy will continue to increase significantly over the coming decades. Demand for one will stimulate demand for the other. Agriculture accounts for roughly 70% of water use and hydropower provides 20% of the world's electricity and is the main energy source for more than 30 countries.
Water provision, energy supply and food production all rely on water infrastructure. With growing demand and shrinking availability of natural resources, more needs to be done to develop effective ways of delivering water to fields, power plants, industries and cities.
Water infrastructure includes engineered structures such as dams, reservoirs, canals and irrigation systems. But it also includes 'natural infrastructure' — ecosystems such as river basins that supply water, mangroves that buffer against severe storms, floodplains which absorb flood waters, forests that stabilise soils and wetlands that clean and store water.
If this natural infrastructure is healthy and well-functioning, it supports built infrastructure to protect, store, clean and deliver water for various uses.
IUCN is working with the International Water Association on the Nexus Dialogue on Water Infrastructure Solutions. This initiative highlights the need for a cross-sectoral approach in finding solutions that balance environmental, social and economic concerns.
The vision of the Nexus project is coordinated planning and development of water infrastructure that combines man-made infrastructure and technology with nature-based infrastructure in a global effort to achieve water security.
• 47% of the world's population will be living in areas of high water stress by 2030• An estimated 75% of all industrial water withdrawals are used for energy production• 1.3 billion people lack acces to electricity • 768 million lack access to clean drinking water

Understanding Atherosclerosis
Understanding Atherosclerosis
When the walls of blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body become thickened due to plaque buildup and inflammation, it is called atherosclerosis. This can lead to stiffening and narrowing of the arteries. The condition can start as early as childhood. It can lead to many health problems, including heart disease and stroke.
How does it happen?
Atherosclerosis is a disease that develops slowly over time. Excess cholesterol and other matter in the blood form plaques, which line the inner wall of the arteries. Some plaques are hard and contain large amounts of calcium. Others are soft, made mostly of semi-liquid cholesterol and inflammatory cells that are contained by a fibrous "cap." Atherosclerosis can lead to narrowed arteries. This makes it harder for blood to carry oxygen and nutrients to the brain, heart, kidneys, and other organs. If the fibrous cap of soft plaque ruptures, these contents enter the bloodstream. This causes a blood clot that can block the artery. This can lead to a heart attack, stroke, or other serious or even life-threatening problem with the circulation. Diseases caused by atherosclerosis are the leading cause of death in the U.S.
How can I prevent it?
Certain risk factors increase the chance of developing atherosclerosis. These include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity. So managing these conditions can also help reduce your risk for atherosclerosis. This, in turn, can help prevent the heart conditions that can result.
Getting regular exercise; eating a diet low in fat, salt and cholesterol; quitting smoking (if you smoke); managing high blood pressure; and reducing stress are a few of the lifestyle changes that can help reduce your chance of developing these health risks. Working with your healthcare provider to keep your risk factors low is important. Age and a family history of early heart disease are also risk factors for atherosclerosis.
How is it treated?
Treatment for atherosclerosis starts with a healthy diet, physical activity, and a smoke-free lifestyle. Certain medicines can help lower cholesterol and blood pressure. These medicines can slow or even reverse the condition. If you have or are at high risk for atherosclerosis, your healthcare provider can recommend which treatment is best for you.

delle wrote:Just be DAMN sure to fold over and finish the brocade so it doesn't frazzleup and moop all over the place.
I find that machine sewing on "edging" is an easy way to contain potential mess and create a clean and THIN edge to then (hand) sew (if necessary) on to the garment. The edging is cheap (dollar store, even, if you're lucky) -- and the different colours can be a bonus.
Fucking brocade. I love brocade. I've learned from my sewing and thrift-store shopping that I might have a bit of a fetish for brocade and velvet. But fuck, brocade is a MOOPy bitch. Other MOOPy fabrics to watch out for: satin, especially if it's lightweight, taffeta, organza. I was complaining to a friend over email about organza, and how while I was crafting something from it, I would find threads of it all over the apartment like cobwebs, and she said something about "organza meltdowns" on Project Runway. I haven't seen it, but I'm not surprised.
Edging is cool and very convenient.
Another trick: Since I am not great at hemming, and I don't have a convenient place to buy edging, I have found that sometimes you can get away with just doing a really dense zigzag stitch (set on a stitch length of about 0.5, so the stitches are right next to each other), right along the very edge of the fabric (kind of overlapping it, like a pseudo-serger). It works great with really heavy fabrics (like canvas), but I have also used it with some medium-weight ones (heavy satin, ultrasuede). I plan to try it on some medium-weight brocade, too.It will, however, just destroy more delicate fabrics: The needle holes actually perforate the fabric, and your stitched edge will tear right off. Testing on a scrap is probably a good idea.

Hi Jim etal: Yes, I agree, most puzzling. If this is a JFW bug, which appears plausible at the moment, I hope it's fixed in the next release. Thanks for the variations Jim! The name attribute is apparently involved but not always required. Are there preferences in terms of valid HTML4? Steve >>> firstname.lastname@example.com 06/04/01 09:50PM >>> Steve, I am baffled. I was able to reproduce the problem with JFW 3.7U. It seems to be the missing name attribute on your example. Yours is the third edit field in http://jimthatcher.com/forms060401.htm (I moved it to third to be sure being first wasn't causing the problem). Unfortunately, I removed the name attribute from case 2 in my sample, and the prompt IS spoken by JFW. If I add a name attribute to your example, then the prompt IS spoken. I removed tabindex from your example with no effect on the speaking. I don't know what the problem is, but it seems to be a JFW problem since at least two other AT's (HPR and Window-Eyes) seem to have no problem.

We can say "Do it like this..." but how "like" is "like". In other words, what can I safely vary and still have the prompt spoken? The only way to determine this is to vary one factor at a time. Steve >>> Jim Thatcher <email@example.com> 06/01/01 02:48PM >>> I tried the variations suggested so far. I am using the most recent versions of Window-Eyes, JFW and HPR. ALL speak the prompt in ALL the cases that have been suggested. Actually HPR seems to have a bug and likes to spell "name" - don't know why. One sees the value of the LABEL attribute in the last case which AL suggested, selecting out some text from the string that precedes the input element. I cannot explain why Stephen couldn't get JFW to speak the prompt in case 1. I don't understand this testing. If you use label for= these AT's will pick it up. If you put the prompt close to the input element (left or above for text boxes) they will pick it up. Here's the HTML (attached for Stephen and Al). of course 1 and 2 are identical. First name is spoken when tabbing in all cases with all AT's that I tried. <FORM>

Microsoft Warns of Windows Script Injection Vulnerability
Microsoft tonight released a security advisory for a publicly-disclosed vulnerability in all versions of Windows. Security Advisory 2501696 describes a bug in the MHTML handler in Windows which could lead to information disclosure.
MHTML (MIME Encapsulation of Aggregate HTML) encapsulates HTML in a MIME structure. MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is a data format for encapsulating more complex binary structures in a text-only format. Windows includes a pluggable protocol handler (MHTML:) that allows applications to render MHTML structures. Internet Explorer is one of these and it can be abused to exploit the bug in the context of a web page, causing script to be executed. The user would have click a link to an MHTML:// document.
The vulnerability is similar to a cross-site scripting bug on a web page, in which HTML and script from another site is executed in the web page context. In this case, script could be executed in the client-side context.
Microsoft has provided a "Fix it" link to disable the MHTML protocol handler. This is a rather radical move, but it's probably the only thing Microsoft can do without an actual patch, which they will of course providewhen it's ready. They are also working with other companies to develop server-side protections to prevent attacks.
The link above to the Fix it also includes what amounts to a proof of concept for the bug which you can use to test if you are vulnerable or if mitigating measures have worked.

According to authorities, the explosion happened just before 7:30am Saturday in a lab at an Air Liquide cylinder plant in the 11400 block of West Fairmont Parkway at Driftwood near Bay Area Boulevard.
An Air Liquide spokesperson says 13 people were at the facility at the time of the explosion -- seven employees were outside the building and six inside the plant. Soon after it happened, Eyewitness News got word that one worker had been injured and another was missing.
Search crews spent the next several hours searching for the man, until a body was discovered Saturday evening.
"We believe everybody has been accounted for at this point," Air Liquide spokesperson Michael Rosen said.
Dean Hensley with the Harris County Fire Marshal's Office said the medical examiner hasn't yet identified the body. But late Saturday evening, his family says they received word from authorities that 30-year-old Javier Ortiz is the worker that was found dead.
"We just ask for prayers for our family, from Houstonians and for God to help us in this difficult time," his wife, Julie Ortiz said.
She says she and her husband have three children, aged 3, 5, and 7.
"I just want everyone to know he's a wonderful father of three and he's loved very much," she said. "We're very active in our church. We're good people. He's a chemist and I'm a teacher at a high school."
Emergency responders used a canine unit from CyFair Fire Department, heavy equipment and a HAZMAT team to search for him, but the mission wasn't easy. His body was still buried under the rubble by 10pm Saturday. Investigators say they're having trouble getting it out.
"Just a lot of damage, it's a metal-type structure building. There's a lot of debris and a lot of metal everywhere and we're having to work around that," Hensley said.
A second employee was injured the blast. He was taken by LifeFlight to UTMB's burn unit in Galveston. Rosen says he is in serious, but stable condition.
"It is my understanding that he (the employee) sustained some burns," Rosen said.
The family of the second victim says he suffered burns to more than 75 percent of his body, and he's not speaking right now. They say the victim worked at the plant for at least 10 years and has two daughters.
Shelter-in-place orders were issued for La Porte and the southeast portion of Pasadena. According to Harris County Office of Emergency Management officials, the La Porte shelter in place was quickly lifted. The order in Pasadena was lifted by 9:45am.
"Everything's been cooled down. All the contents of the building are secure. At this point, there is some structural damage of the building," Air Liquide Spokesman Michael Rosen said.
Rosen said the plant mixes gases and chemicals for commercial use, and the fire started in the section of the plant where that mixing takes place. La Porte officials have been monitoring air quality and say there was no danger to the public.
"To our knowledge and from the authorities here who have been monitoring the air, nothing was released into the atmosphere except for the smoke you all saw," Rosen explained.
But until all of that was determined, nearby homeowners were on edge.
"It sounded like cannons firing. We thought someone was banging on the garage door, a lot of noise and we just ran outside and started panicking," nearby resident Ivan Huerta said.
"You see the black smoke and then you'd see flames come up. And when the flames came up, you would hear a pop right after from either some drums or cylinders popping," resident Ben Aleman said.
Investigators are still on scene this morning trying to determine the cause of the explosion.
A spokesman with the Fire Marshal's Office tells Eyewitness News the body of the man who died in the fire has been removed from the plant, and is now in the hands of the medical examiner, who will be returning the remains to the man's family.

— City leaders say they hope to partner with community groups in an effort to avoid the potential closing of downtown Lebanon's lone grocery store.
With rumors circulating that the Lebanon Village Marketplace could go out of business this week, officials said they are searching for alternatives for residents who cannot easily shop elsewhere.
Lebanon Mayor Sue Prentiss on Monday asked that the city's administration work with the Lebanon Housing Authority — which manages the nearby Rogers House — to determine a plan for seniors who frequent the store.
Discussion of the grocer's fate is also on the City Council's Wednesday meeting agenda, she said.
"I think it's fair to say there's definitely less on the shelves," Prentiss said after visiting the grocery store on Monday afternoon. "I don't know what it's going to look like next week."
Prentiss, Lebanon City Manager Shaun Mulholland and Rob Taylor, executive director of the Lebanon Area Chamber of Commerce, went together this week to Lebanon Village Marketplace to inquire its status.
While it's true that employees aren't being scheduled past Wednesday, store owner Ritchard Bill told the trio he's trying to find a way to remain in business, Prentiss said.
"He is juggling a host of issues trying to make the market work," Prentiss later wrote to City Council members. "The best thing we can do right now is encourage folks to shop there."
Bill declined to comment on potential closing on Monday morning, saying only that "it's a possibility." Many of the shelves and freezers that once held produce and dried goods appeared to be empty around noon, while the bakery and prepared food section still attracted customers.
"He's in a tough situation and you can tell times are tough," Taylor said after his visit to the store. "(The market) still has a pulse but it's certainly in critical care."
The store is likely having difficulty competing with the likes of Price Chopper, Shaw's, Hannaford and the Co-Op Food Stores, all of which have Lebanon locations, Taylor said.
That competition also is compounded by the store's status as quasi convenience store, where people sometimes skip the groceries in favor of 20 ounce sodas, he said.
"I mean, it's kind of a tragedy for Lebanon to look at the bare shelves and contemplate not having a grocery store downtown," Taylor said.
Talk of the Lebanon Village Marketplace going out of business has been rumored since last month, when customers began noticing shelves were not being restocked.

Vintage 5M Linea Leather Strap Size Paolo Pumps 6 Heels Dressy Chunky Ankle Tan "They don't seem to be restocking their shelves at all," said City Councilor Bruce Bronner during a phone interview on Monday.
Bronner said he heard rumors of the store's closing, but hasn't been successful getting answers from employees.
"They're all pretty mum," he said. "Nobody has anything to say."
The store is a great asset for the downtown community, and one of the few places where people can purchase healthy meals for under $5, said Bronner, who is fond of the marketplace's meatloaf.
"There are people that are going to suffer," he said. "They're going to be bummed because you can't duplicate what (the store) is providing."
Mechanic Street resident David Muzzy said he'll be one of the residents who would miss the store. He walks to Lebanon Village Marketplace several times a week for groceries.
"It's very convenient for me, and I spend approximately $200 a month there, if not more," Muzzy said. "A lot of people utilize that little store."
Muzzy said he was in the checkout line last week when a cashier informed him the store could be out of business by the end of this week.
"As far as I know, it's no rumor," he said. "I checked with the manager."
The store serves many residents who don't own vehicles.
It's a handy place to pickup milk and bread during the week, added Carmen Deuso, who lives at Rogers House, a subsidized apartment complex for seniors across the street from Colburn Park.
Deuso, 80, takes the bus to do the bulk of her weekly shopping at Hannaford in West Lebanon. But some of her neighbors rely solely on the Lebanon Village Marketplace for their groceries, she said.
"I don't know what some of the people in here will do because some of them can't hardly walk," she said. "I'll be checking in on some of them, go to the store for them, if they need it."
Roberta Durgin, who also lives at Rogers House, said she would miss the store too.
"They have a lot of stuff over there, so we don't have to run down to Price Chopper," she said, adding the store is also convenient for nearby families. "A lot of people stop by, coming and going after they get out of work."
In the event the store closes, Prentiss said city officials are hoping to map out shopping alternatives with seniors and other downtown residents in mind.
"We are aware. We understand the impact on downtown," Prentiss said. "We can work with the business community to see what our options are and see what we can do."

2000 Chevrolet Suburban ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Chevrolet Suburban has been completely redesigned and re-engineered for model year 2000. Every piece of bodywork is new, though you'll have no trouble recognizing it. Its interior is all new and improved, but feels familiar. Its new engines offer substantially more power. Its rigid new frame and re-engineered suspensions offer excellent handling and ride quality. Last, but certainly not least, the brakes have been totally re-engineered for vastly improved pedal feel and stopping performance.
Soup to nuts, the Suburban is a more refined vehicle than before. Yet it retains all those qualities we've loved since its introduction in 1935: a spacious interior, strong torque for towing, off-road capability, and a stable, comfortable ride for long-distance travel.
Suburban comes with a choice of two- or four-wheel drive and is available in two load ranges, 1500 and 2500. Three trim levels are available, base, LS and LT. Suburban 1500s come equipped with a 5.3-liter V8. The 2500s come with a 6.0-liter V8. (A diesel engine may be available next year.)
Retail prices for 1500 models: 2WD ($26,421); LS 2WD ($33,844); LT 2WD ($37,912); 4WD ($28,375); LS 4WD ($36,760); LT 4WD ($40,828). Prices for 2500 models: 2500 2WD ($29,337); 2500 LS 2WD ($36,760); 2500 LT 2WD ($40,392); 2500 4WD ($31,305); 2500 LS 4WD ($38,728); 2500 LT 4WD ($42,360). (Chevrolet prices these as models, but window stickers show trim levels as option packages.)
All Suburbans come with four-wheel anti-lock brakes, dual front air bags and dual side-impact air bags. All come with air conditioning. LS and LT come with power windows, rear air conditioning, a compass and remote keyless entry. Moving up through the trim levels brings nicer interiors: LS gets a nicer cloth reclining front bench seat with adjustable lumbar support; bucket seats are an option. LT is fitted with leather seating surfaces and premium full-function heated front bucket seats. LT also comes with electronic climate control, premium CD stereo, the HomeLink universal garage door opener and GM's OnStar system. Otherwise, the primary functional difference is that LT comes with Chevy's Premium Ride Suspension.
This new Suburban looks strikingly different yet familiar at the same time. All the sheet metal is new. The entire vehicle looks smoother and more aerodynamic; sharp edges have been rounded. Most noticeable are the new headlights.
Two tailgate configurations are available. A new lightweight one-piece rear hatch similar to those found on compact SUVs is useful for families and can be opened with one hand. Our Suburban came with side-by-side cargo doors, which I like because they open wide and allow a closer working position to the vehicle's storage area. Cargo doors are also useful when pulling trailers because they will usually clear the trailer tongue jack. The hinges have been re-engineered for a more finished appearance; and they let the doors open wide without having to disconnect the hinges.
An innovative puddle lamp mounted below the side mirrors shines down to light up the perimeter of the Suburban. It's a nice feature that can be turned on using the keyless remote when approaching the Suburban in a dark parking garage as it illuminates underneath the vehicle. It can also be used in the backwoods to help you avoid stepping into mud puddles.
Suburban is about 17 inches longer than the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Chevy Suburban is nearly identical to the GMC Yukon XL, which was called the GMC Suburban until this year.
Seating has been cleverly designed. The third-row seatback folds down without having to remove the headrests, then the whole thing flips forward to substantially increase cargo capacity. A short prop rod locks it into place. This bench seat can be easily removed as it's mounted on wheels; it weighs 75 pounds, however, so get some help before pulling it out the back end of the Suburban. After removing the third-row seat, flip the seat bottom of the second row forward, fold the seatback down (no need to remove the headrests), flip the floor extension down and you've got a huge flat cargo space behind the driver's seat. Loading cargo is easy because there's plenty of space for it; lift-over height is lower than that of the Ford Excursion. The spare tire has been moved underneath the vehicle to free rear cargo space.
Optional cloth bucket seats in our LS were okay, but don't offer as much support as I'd like. LT's leather seats are better. The second row is quite comfortable. Headphone jacks allow rear-seat passengers to listen to CDs while those up front turn on the radio. Sitting in the third row is surprisingly comfortable for an adult; slide your feet under the seat in front of you and you can ride back there fairly long distances. Getting back there requires folding and flipping the seat out of the way.
Though my mother-in-law found getting into the Suburban a bit of a step up, it isn't a problem for those of standard stature. Step-in height is actually lower than before because of the new fully boxed frame. She liked the running boards, which make getting in easier.
Driving Impression
This new Suburban offers excellent handling for a big, heavy truck and the steering offers better feel than previously. Driving quickly over wet pavement through the San Juan Mountains high above Colorado's Delores River, we never lost traction. I took turns driving the Suburban on the wet, winding road with the road test editor from one of the major enthusiast magazines. Each of us has extensive racing experience, but we were unable to get the Suburban to come unglued. We drove into wet turns as quickly as we'd ever want to go in a Suburban and never lost grip. We were impressed. The frame is completely re-engineered. The entire front part of the frame is hydro-formed from one piece of metal and is far more rigid than a bunch of pieces welded together.
Ride quality in the Suburban 1500 is smooth, greatly improved over the previous-generation Suburban. The optional Premium Ride suspension features a hydraulically controlled rear self-leveling system to keep the Suburban at normal ride height even when carrying heavy loads. This system offered a good ride quality on the Suburban I drove. The more sophisticated optional Auto-Ride suspension system uses computer-controlled shock damping for improved ride quality over uneven pavement. Whether towing a horse trailer or picking up a soccer team, Auto-Ride continually adjusts the suspension for optimum ride and handling. This technology also helps reduce dive on braking (so that the nose of the vehicle doesn't dip down unduly) and body roll (or lean) during cornering.
Most people find the 1500 models meet their needs. The 2500 models, often referred to as the 3/4-ton versions, are only needed for those who tow heavy trailers. Rated to tow up to 10,500 pounds, they effectively match the towing capacity of the Ford Excursion. Suburban 2500 is going to ride a bit harsher because its rear suspension uses leaf springs instead of the coil-springs used on the 1500. But the 2500 rides surprisingly well, given its load range, a big improvement over the previous-generation 2500 models and smoother than the big Ford Excursion.
Until now, Suburbans came with mushy brakes. You had to tromp on them to get the thing to stop. GM redesigned the brake system to address this. The pedal on the new Suburban works smoothly and progressively, which makes is easier to stop smoothly. Four-wheel antilock disc brakes with a new Dynamic Rear Proportioning system modulates the pressure applied to the rear brakes for more effective braking. Brake pads and rotors are 40-percent larger and use new twin-piston calipers. This new brake system reduces 60-mph stopping distances by 20 feet, according to Chevrolet, and the pads are expected to last 40 percent longer.
Cost is the main consideration on whether to get four-wheel drive. Those in the Sunbelt may not see justification for it. But even if you aren't an off-road driver, four-wheel drive can keep you going through snow or sandy, unpaved roads or help pull a boat up a slippery boat ramp. If you don't get a 4WD model, consider the optional traction-assist system for a 2WD model. 4WD models offer several modes of travel and shifting among them is as easy as changing stations on the radio. Press 2WD Hi, then, as conditions grow worse, press the 4WD Hi and 4WD Lo buttons to operate the system like a traditional part-time four-wheel-drive system. If conditions are fluctuating, hit the Auto 4WD button and the Autotrac four-wheel-drive system automatically transfers power from a slipping wheel to the wheels with the best traction; no input is needed from the driver.
Responsiveness from each of two V8 engines is excellent. These new Vortec V8s offer a 30-percent increase in power over their predecessors. Suburban's automatic transmission comes with a tow/haul mode. Pushing a switch on the end of the column shifter changes the shift points of the transmission. The tow/haul mode improves performance while towing and lessens wear on the transmission. Even whe.
We love the Suburban. It's a great vehicle for moving cargo, towing trailers, hauling people. Get sleepy on a long trip and you can simply pull over and stretch out in back.
While Ford's giant Excursion has taken the Suburban's long-held position as the largest sport-utility vehicle, it doesn't match the smooth ride and all-around utility of the 'burb.

Houston, Compton to host Junior RBI Classics
The kids can play.
Major League Baseball announced Wednesday that there will be a pair of youth tournaments for the Jr. divisions of the Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities program.
The kids can play.
Major League Baseball announced Wednesday that there will be a pair of youth tournaments for the Jr. divisions of the Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities program.
The RBI program has had tournaments for the age 13-18 divisions, but this will be the first competitive element for the Jr. RBI class, which caters to kids aged 11 and 12. Two Urban Youth Academies -- the facilities in Compton, Calif., and Houston -- will play host to the Jr. RBI Classic Showcase.
The first showcase, co-hosted by the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, will be held at the Compton UYA from Saturday-Monday. The second one, co-hosted by the Houston Astros, will happen at the Houston youth academy right after the Civil Rights Game from May 31-June 1.
The junior elements of RBI have always been about installing a love of the game and teaching the fundamentals to younger children, but the showcases will allow them to feel the thrill of competition. The youngsters will also have the opportunity to stay on a college campus during the tournament, which will give them the chance to experience college life well ahead of schedule.
"The Jr. RBI playing divisions are the largest growing sector of the RBI program, so, it is important for MLB to expand opportunities and offer participants a memorable experience," said Tom Brasuell, MLB Vice President of Community Affairs, as part of an official press release. "The new Jr. RBI Classic Showcases will provide enhanced playing opportunities and showcase some terrific young talent, and we thank the Dodgers Foundation and the Astros for co-hosting these inaugural events."
Several Los Angeles area teams will play in the LA Jr. RBI Classic Showcase, and all teams will stay on the campus of the University of Southern California. The teams at the Houston Jr. RBI Classic will stay on the campus of Texas Southern University, and all participating teams will be invited to Minute Maid Park on May 30th to attend the Civil Rights Game played between Houston and Baltimore.

(Reuters) - Anaheim Ducks play-maker Corey Perry has been slapped with a four-game suspension, without pay, for an illegal hit against Minnesota Wild, the National Hockey League (NHL) said on Wednesday.
Perry put a late check on Minnesota's Jason Zucker during the second period on Tuesday, earning himself a major penalty for interference and game misconduct.
"Perry delivered a late, illegal check that injured Minnesota forward Jason Zucker," Rob Blake, the NHL's Department of Player Safety, explained in a video.
"Perry (had) enough time to avoid this violent check or, at the very least, minimize it more significantly."
A former Hart Trophy winner, Perry is among the Anaheim team leaders with nine goals and 15 assists on the season.
The Ducks have the second best record in the NHL with 41 points, and will begin campaign without Perry on Thursday against the Dallas Stars.

'Fed up' father shoots son over drug use, warrant says
Father said he didn't intend to hurt son, was aiming for holes in nearby wall
Father said he didn't intend to hurt son, was aiming for holes in nearby wall
Father said he didn't intend to hurt son, was aiming for holes in nearby wall
A father "fed up" with seeing his son injecting something in his arm unlocked a safe, pulled out a gun and shot his son last week, a court document says.
According to a search warrant detailing the Feb. 15 incident inside the home on 122nd Street, the 27-year-old son lives with his parents and ate dinner in his own room. When the father finished eating, he walked by and saw his son "shooting up" with what he believed was heroin.
WISN 12 News is not naming the father, 61, because he hasn't officially been charged with a crime.
The son denied that he was using heroin but rather another opiate, Suboxone.
The father told a responding officer that he "got pissed" and removed a .40 caliber Smith and Wesson handgun from a locked safe and shot his son in the arm. He said he was aiming for some holes that were already in a wall and didn't intend to hit his son.
"I caught him shooting up, and I lost it. I've been dealing with this for a while, and I just had enough, and I did something stupid," the father told the 911 dispatcher.
After the shooting, the son called his mother and told her he was "bleeding out," the warrant said. The father called 911 and told the operator that he'd shot his son.
The dad went across the street to get help from his firefighter neighbor who applied a tourniquet that police said likely saved his life. The search warrant indicates police found numerous drugs in the son's room, including marijuana, heroin, and mushrooms.
The son also admitted later that he was in fact shooting up "five dollars worth of heroin" when his dad confronted him and not the Suboxone he claimed.
The dad was arrested and bailed out and the District Attorney is still reviewing charges which could include Recklessly Endangering Safety.
"I know I just ruined the rest of my life, all because I let this kid just push me to the point where enough was enough," the father said to the 911 dispatcher.
The search warrant seeks entry to the home in order to collect DNA evidence from blood on the floor and items of drug paraphernalia that the detective said was in plain sight during his response.

Kobe Bryant, C.J. Wilson and More Athletes Turning to Cryotherapy Treatment [VIDEO]
Athletes are always looking for an edge in their game, and the latest craze has both pro and amateur players taking a dip inside nitrogen-chilling metal chambers as part of what's called "cryotherapy treatment." According to the Los Angeles Times, this form of therapy speeds muscle recovery and reduces inflammation after workouts or surgery.
It's similar to cooling off inside of an ice bath after a grueling workout. Patients keep their heads outside the chamber, and wear gloves and socks to ward off frostbite.
Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzi, Tyson Gay, C.J. Wilson and others have all subscribed to the treatments at times. But it's not for the cash-conscious. Ice sauna treatment costs about $70 a session, which typically last about 2.5 minutes.
"I hate the ice bath. Absolutely hate it. It's the worst thing in the world," Wilson said. "I surf, so I'm used to cold water, but there's just something about sitting in that thing I always hated. But this thing, it's cool, and you're dry so you feel OK after three or four minutes."

MURRAY, Ky. - The Tennessee Tech volleyball team's five match winning streak came to a halt on Friday evening as the Golden Eagles fell to Murray State, 3-0 (25-17, 25-20, 25-17), at Racer Arena. With the loss, Tech drops to 8-13 overall and 7-5 in the OVC while the Racers improve to 6-15 overall and 6-5 in conference play.
After dropping the opening set, 25-17, TTU came back strong in the second stanza and built a 10-7 on an ace by junior Laura Pierce. However, Murray State answered with a three-point run of its own to tie the game at 10-10 before scoring four of the next six points to take a 14-12 lead. Tech kept the set within reach at 20-18, but the Racer attack was too much down the stretch as they captured a 2-0 lead in the match with a 25-20 win in set two.
Murray State register kills on its first six points in the third set and never looked back as the Racers jumped out to a 7-3 lead and maintained that advantage throughout the set before closing out the match with a 25-17 victory.
For the Golden Eagles, junior Leah Meffert led the way with a match-high 13 kills to go along with 10 digs for her 15th double-double of the season. Senior Amanda Lindgren finished with eight kills while junior Marie Peddicord added seven.
Junior setter Melanie Culp tallied 25 assists to lead the team, while freshman Madison Comperry also got a chance to run the TTU offense as she handed out six assists.
Densively, senior Katie Kenline made it 19 consecutive matches with double-digit digs as she finished with 11 saves. Culp had a team-high 12 digs as she recorded her ninth double-double of the season.
The Golden Eagles struggled with hitting errors on Friday evening as they committed 25 compared to just 10 for the Racers.
Murray State utilized a balanced attack offensively and did not have a player with double-digit kills, but they had six players with at least five.
Tech, who remains in fourth place in the OVC following the match, will return to action on Saturday afternoon when the team makes its way to UT Martin for a 2 p.m. contest against the Skyhawks.
