Congressional Republicans May Be Understating the Cost of ObamaCare
Yesterday, the Senate Finance and House Energy & Commerce committees released a joint report on the costs that ObamaCare's Medicaid mandate will impose on states. That report, which is based on other reports, likely understates the cost of that unfunded mandate.
In a new Cato Working Paper, "Estimating ObamaCare's Effect on State Medicaid Expenditure Growth," senior fellow Jagadeesh Gokhale constructed cost projections for the five largest states -- California, Florida, Illinois, New York, and Texas -- which account for 40 percent of the nation's population. Gokhale carefully decomposed and organized micro-data and state-specific administrative data on Medicaid eligibility, enrollments, benefit recipiency, and average benefits per recipient. Gokhale found much larger cost burdens than the committees' projections.
For example, Gokhale projects that ObamaCare will force Florida to spend an additional $20.4 billion between 2014 and 2023. That is almost double the committees' estimate of an additional $12.9 billion in spending by Florida between 2013 to 2023.

Canadian politician Jim Prentice and three others were killed when their plane went down in British Columbia, authorities confirmed Friday.
Sixty-year-old Prentice was returning to his home in Calgary from a golfing trip with friends when their twin-engine Cessna Citation crashed late Thursday night, NBC News reports. None of the plane's four passengers survived the crash.
The former premier of Alberta and government minister was a Conservative who crossed party lines in 2005 to support same-sex marriage. He was also a married father of three, with two granddaughters.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau released a statement Friday, calling Prentice a "great Canadian."
"He was broadly respected in the House of Commons across all party lines, for his intelligence, commitment and honest straightforward approach on tough issues," Trudeau said.

Congressman Bob Gibbs has opened an office in Canton that is staffed by a former local Republican candidate.
U.S. Rep. Bob Gibbs, R-Lakeville, who represents Canton and most of Stark County, has opened an office at the downtown County Office Building.
Gibbs this month hired Jason Wise, a recently honorably discharged Army sergeant, to staff the office, according to a statement from Gibbs. Wise also was the 2008 Republican candidate for Stark County Clerk of Courts.
The statement says that starting in 2011, Wise served a year in Iraq with the 1st Cavalry Division and graduated from Perry High School in 1997.
For the time being, Wise will be out of the office most of the time to meet with constituents in their communities, the statement said. Those needing constituent assistance should call Wise at (330) 737-1631 to schedule an appointment. Wise will seek to help people having issues with federal agencies and people seeking military service academy nominations and field requests for flags and tour tickets for certain federal attractions in Washington D.C. like the White House.
The office is at 110 Central Plaza South, Suite 445, on the fourth floor.
Gibbs, who has his main district office in Ashland, had been discussing leasing office space from the Stark County commissioners at the County Office Building since at least March. His Canton office is the first in Stark County since U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci, R-Wadsworth, moved his congressional office from Jackson Township to Wadsworth in December.
Renacci represents Jackson Township, Lawrence Township, North Canton, Canal Fulton, northwestern Plain Township, western Lake Township and a slice of eastern Perry Township. U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Warren, represents Alliance and Lexington Township and in general, Gibbs represents the rest of Stark County.

Nation & World
European anger growing over extent of alleged U.S. electronic surveillance
In the pages the German tabloid Bild, President Barack Obama on Tuesday had been renamed OHRbama (Ohr is the German word for ear). He was pictured leaning over to listen to German Chancellor Angela Merkel with a grossly oversized ear.
In a televised interview, French President Francois Hollande used angry words to describe the United States and an eavesdropping program whose size and scope were revealed in weekend news stories that cited documents leaked by one-time NSA computer specialist Edward Snowden. Hollande said the spying must "cease immediately."
"We cannot accept this kind of behavior from partners and allies," he added.
Europeans, and especially East Germans who a generation ago lived under the oppressive Stasi intelligence agency, were amazed by the allegations. At least one German politician has suggested that Snowden be given refuge in Germany's witness protection program, and a criminal investigation might soon be launched.
It is certain to become a major issue between the United States and Europe.
According to the reports, first detailed by the German news magazine Der Spiegel, the U.S. National Security Agency is monitoring 500 million German communications each month and has classified Germany as a target on a level with China and Saudi Arabia. The United States also allegedly is bugging European Union offices, monitoring EU communications, and scooping up the emails and phone calls of EU nations' citizens.
"The monitoring of friends – this is unacceptable, it can't be tolerated," Merkel said. "We're no longer in the Cold War. Our cooperation must be based on trust. This trust must be re-established now."
German federal prosecutors are now "officially observing" the situation, to determine if criminal charges brought to them by various German citizens should be pursued.
David Livingstone, a cyber-security expert at London's Chatham House think tank, noted that, in the end, the governments of Europe understand that everyone spies a bit.
"A government that isn't taking steps to understand what another government is doing – to gain an economic advantage, for instance – is rare," he said. "This is how diplomatic intelligence has been conducted for centuries."
Still, he noted that the scope of information available to those who gather it has exploded with the emergence of the Internet. Electronic devices, from smart phones to e-readers to iPads and other tablets, are ubiquitous, generating uncountable bits of metadata about who we call, how long we talk to them, what we read, and what we watch, all of which apparently is being collected and stored away.
It's not exactly new or news that cell and smart phones track their users' locations, but less known is that many apps stay in contact with the companies that launched them and can provide in-depth profiles of how a life is lived.
Livingstone said the Snowden revelations may lead to a long-coming international debate on exactly what privacy people should be giving up when they live in an online world and what should remain private.
"Twitter connects us and allows us to share our thoughts instantly on Wimbledon, and that's amazing," he said. "But, oh, the dangers."
German open-government activist Anke Domscheit-Berg, a member of the German Pirate Party, is unwilling to give the U.S. a pass on spying. She said Merkel's tough words weren't nearly harsh enough and raised the question of whether the German government was aware of, or perhaps involved in, similar activities.
"Immediately, we should stop all data deliveries to the United States," she said. "Flight passenger records, financial transactions, etc. . . . We must make it very clear that the United States cannot expect any more data until we have an agreement on how our citizens' privacy will be treated. We are not powerless in this matter. It's not as if the United States can do whatever it wants without repercussions."
Part of that is the beginning of a discussion in Germany to give a home to the fugitive Snowden.
"With federal prosecutors investigating possible espionage against Germany, the government shouldn't just offer Snowden asylum, but perhaps even witness protection," Green Party parliamentarian Hans-Christian Stroebele said Tuesday.
And, in the medium that is the source of this spy scandal, the anonymous commentators are frothing. The Spiegel expose on the depth of the scandal attracted 191 pages of comments within the first day, including one who noted: "I've had it now. I will file charges against a person unknown for violating the telecommunications code at the prosecutor's office first thing Monday."
A reader on the website of the Die Zeit newspaper went further: "In fact, there can only be one consequence: the cessation of all diplomatic relations with the United States by the EU. Who needs a partner who spies on you? The Americans are a nation in decline anyway. One should look for partners elsewhere."
It's not an uncommon thought in Europe these days, said Bibi van Ginkel, a terrorism and security expert at the Clingendael Institute, a Dutch think tank.
"The anger, the worry, these are things we hear a lot, from people and in the newspapers," she said. "Government officials, either because they were on the inside or want to appear as if they were, are more muted. But people here are surprised at the scope, and the Cold War practices. This is extreme espionage."

In an explosive season that saw Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green return to the big red chairs alongside Adam Levine and Blake Shelton — even as Cher guest-mentored and Shelton's winning streak finally came to an end — "The Voice" is set to go out with bang when the season five winner is crowned this week.
Lady Gaga, Celine Dion, NE-YO and OneRepublic are all set to perform in the live two-hour fall finale on Tuesday, Dec. 17 at 9 p.m. ET on NBC.
Gaga will perform her current single "Do What U Want," from her latest release "ARTPOP." Dion will duet with NE-YO on the song "Incredible" from her new album "Loved Me Back to Life," and OneRepublic will perform "I Lived" from their recent album "Native."
But first the top three contestants — Tessanne Chin, Jacquie Lee and Will Champlin — must prove their mettle on the "Voice" stage and wow America with their final performances when the lights come up on Monday night's penultimate episode.
Team Adam leads the charge with two of the three finalists, chanteuse Tessanne and pitch-perfect Will. Team Christina fills the remaining berth with pint-sized belter Jacquie.
Powerhouse Jamaican pop singer Tessanne, 28, charged into the finals with her take on the Simon & Garfunkel classic "Bridge Over Troubled Water." She spent three years singing backup for reggae legend Jimmy Cliff before becoming a solo artist in her native country, but major U.S. recognition has eluded her until now.
"I've never been speechless on the show before, but I was amazed," said coach Adam of Tessanne's semi-final performance.
Levine's second finalist, 30-year-old Will, was born into a musical family: his dad was a singer, songwriter and keyboardist for the rock band Chicago. The L.A.-based musician is now a father himself, to a one-year-old daughter he says is his inspiration.
Perhaps not his strongest performance during the competition, Will's semi-final rendition of "Carry On" by indie pop band Fun. allowed him to show a lighter side to audiences, with whom he has clearly connected following several close calls with eliminations early in the season.
Hailing form Colts Neck, N.J., 16-year-old Jacquie's ability to belt out a tune is belied by her petite presence. For the semis she performed the Sarah McLachlan ballad "Angel," and her blues-tinged arrangement even struck a chord with the usually stoic Cee Lo. "It was wonderful, and just when I'm thinking I'm jaded," he admitted. "I was affected by that performance tonight."
"You showed the most dynamic and the best vocal performance that you actually ever have on this show," gushed proud coach Christina of her young charge. "Honestly, you straight up won tonight in my heart."
Season five marks the only time in "Voice" history that Team Blake won't be represented in the finals.
A win for Jacquie would be the first time Team Christina has taken the "Voice" crown. Team Adam produced season one's victor, Javier Colon, with Team Blake taking the top spot each season afterward thanks to winners Jermaine Paul, Cassadee Pope and Danielle Bradbery.
Jacquie, Tessanne, Will and their respect cheer squads — both in the studio audience and in living rooms across the nation — will have to wait until Tuesday night to find out who is ultimately crowned "The Voice."
To close out the fall series, the season five champion will perform an original song by OneRepublic founder and "Voice" in-house songwriter-producer Ryan Tedder at the show's conclusion.
"The Voice" finale airs live Monday at 8/7c and Tuesday at 9/8c ET on NBC.

Breckenridge and Copper Mountain resorts to reopen for one last weekend
summit daily news
Mint snow conditions sparked Breckenridge, Copper Mountain and Vail ski resort officials to announce their season will be extended this Friday through Sunday.
The last day of the season for all three resorts was originally scheduled for April 14, but now each resort will be open this weekend operating on limited terrain Friday through Sunday.
"Last Sunday the conditions were so amazing, and we knew we had more snow forecast during the week, so we didn't have the heart to shut the lifts yet," said Kristen Pettit Stewart, the communications manager at Breckenridge Ski Resort.
Breckenridge has been dumped on with more than 5 feet of snow so far in April, including a new foot of snow since the official closing on Sunday.
Copper Mountain also cited more than a foot of snow since closing day, with up to 20 more inches expected in the forecast through Sunday.
"Mother Nature is a fickle business partner, and apparently she wasn't ready for the ski season to be over. We can't think of a better way to thank our loyal guests for celebrating our 40th anniversary season with us," said Gary Rodgers, president and general manager of Copper Mountain Resort in a news release.
Copper will open American Flyer, Sierra and Timberline lifts from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Skier services including food and beverage offerings and rental and retail options will be limited to Center Village.
Breck will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day as well. The open terrain at the resort this weekend will include 1,180 acres on Peak 8.
Lifts open include the BreckConnect Gondola, Colorado SuperChair, Rip's Ride, 6 Chair, T-Bar and the Imperial Express SuperChair. Park Lane and Trygve's Terrain Parks will also be open.
"We are expecting powder conditions," Pettit Stewart said. "This should be one of those spring ski weekends you dream about all season long."
Mike Sweeney is a longtime Breckenridge resident who is happy to change his plans from bicycling to staying in his hometown and riding instead.
"Yesterday, I heard the rumor mill. But you never want to trust anything until you know it's for sure," he said.
Sweeney says it "just makes sense" to stay open when conditions allow for it.
"I think Vail Resorts is missing the mark when they have a set closing date in spring and try to be open as early as possible in the fall when the best snow is this time of the year," he said.
At the beginning of the year, ski area officials and their partners have to agree on a closing date, Pettit Stewart said, adding that there are quite a few challenges involved in extending the season.
"We have to make sure we have the staff and the ticket product to be able to pull off a great weekend. We believe we can, so we are moving forward with it," she said.
Bill Kight, public affairs officer with the Forest Service, said his agency tries to allow the public to have the best experience possible on the White River National Forest.
"For that reason, when snow conditions permit, we accept an extension of resort closing dates with a simple phone call to forest officials and their operating plan will be updated," he reported.
All Copper Mountain season pass products will be valid including Rocky Mountain Superpass and Superpass Plus, Four Pack's with remaining days and Copper Mountain season passes. The Snow Day pass will be valid if 4 inches or more are reported. Lift tickets are available for a special 40th anniversary rate of $40.
Vail Resorts' season passes will be valid for the extended weekend at Breckenridge and Vail. A $50 lift ticket for casual skiers and boarders can be purchased at the ticket windows. There will also be a special $25 lift ticket for guests who hold season passes from non-Vail owned and operated resorts. Free parking will be available this weekend in the Breckenridge gondola lots.
The Vail Resorts' extension will include special lesson prices, with half-day adult lessons starting at $59 and full-day children's lessons for $99. Discounted private lessons with a reservation will also be available.
"We are already receiving a great response," Pettit Stewart said. "People are so excited that we are able to be flexible and keep the pass open, and are adding value for season-pass holders and other skiers and snowboarders across Colorado."
Loveland is scheduled to close on May 5, and Arapahoe Basin Ski Area is aiming for June 2.

English professor's writing process, new novel highlighted in Oregonian
July 16, 2012
When sitting down to write in his office at Lewis & Clark, Pauls Toutonghi, assistant professor of English, used to reach for a towel. Not because writing worked up a sweat, but because covering up the screen helped free him from overthinking his words. Today, he uses a wireless keyboard.
"It really helps, and this is why it helps: because it disables the critical faculty," Toutonghi says. "I can't see what I'm typing. It's full of typos, but if I'm sitting here and it's going on the monitor over there, I'm not self-editing."
Toutonghi, popular at Lewis & Clark for his courses on the rock-and-roll novel and fiction writing, was recently the focus of the Oregonian's Where I Write, a series that uses work space to explore the hows and whys of writing. Toutonghi's office is his sanctuary and the place where he wrote almost all his new novel, Evel Knievel Days.
"[Writing is] just what I've always wanted to do, and it's immensely satisfying to me," Toutonghi says. "It's a way of ordering the world. The world is so overwhelming, and to be able to describe anything in it and communicate that description to another person is the only thing that's really interesting to me."

If you have ever wondered where your SIRIUS Starmate got it's humble beginnings, then this is the guide you've been looking for.
SIRIUS Starmate Line: The Starmate line was first created with the Original Starmate ST1. Cousin to the Streamer GT and Xact XTR7 , The ST1 was a simple radio that boasted a no frills, 24/7 workaholic attitude. The design was simple and offered SIRIUS fans a contemprary look. The Starmate Line really got its glory with the invention of the SIRIUS Replay function.
The Starmate 2 or Starmate Replay SIRIUS ST2 was the first Starmate Sirius Satellite Radio to included the Replay function. Cousin to the Streamer GTR, This radio took a notice from many consumer that begged for a narrower SIRIUS receiver, that did not block vision on the dash. It was designed on a unique mounting bracket system much like the ST1 Starmate mount. This receiver is one of the most loved of all by SIRIUS fans.,but SIRIUS goes universal!
With as many different receivers out there, and many consumers switching back and forth. Consumers really wanted a universal docking style, that way any receiver could fit in another car/home/motorcycle kit. This would make it easier for a consumer to replace a radio or purchase a new one if they knew that the docking cradles were all the same. So SIRIUS introduced the SIRIUS Universal Dock and Play system. This means all new receivers and cradles are cross-compatible with eachother. SIRIUS impletmented this in its Starmate 3 ST3
The Starmate 3 was seen as a huge jump forward and a small step backwards. The SIRIUS ST3 did not offer the SIRIUS Replay function, but it did offer the new universal style docking system. This radio was a throwback to its grandfather the ST1 with the features it carried. The ST3 was a low production radio and saw little favor from the SIRIUS world. This remains the low point in the SIRIUS line, however all that would change with the SIRIUS Starmate 4.
By far of the most loved SIRIUS radios of all time came in 2006 with the Starmate 4. This radio had all the advantages of the ST2 and ST3, with none of their disadvantages. Th ST4 still remains a top seller and with its low return rate, the ST4 will have a placed saved for the Sirius Satellite Radio muesum and Hall of Fame, which isn't being built, but should be! The St4 has the universal dock and replay function, plus its narrow design keeps you looking at the road and not the receiver.

Call For Women's Solidarity
"We are calling for solidarity among the nation's strongest driving force – the life blood of this nation and the entire world – our women.
In the early nineteenth century, women were considered second-class citizens whose existence was limited to the interior life of the home and care of the children. Women were considered sub-sets of their husbands, and after marriage they did not have the right to own property, maintain their own wages, or sign a contract, much less vote. It was expected that women be obedient wives, never to hold a thought or opinion independent of their husbands. It was considered improper for women to travel alone or to speak in public.
Entertaining the farce that intense physical or intellectual activity would be injurious to the delicate female biology and reproductive system, women were directed to refrain from pursuing any serious education. Yet, many women were physically and emotionally abused by their husbands and such crimes often went unpunished by the law. Silently perched in their birdcages, women were considered merely objects of beauty, and were looked upon as intellectually and physically inferior to men. This myth of women's inferiority to men was further reinforced by organized religion which preached strict restrictive and well-defined sex roles.
One could have a very good idea what Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Condoleezza Rice, Doris Cook, Terrie Williams, Susan Taylor, Laila Ali, Rosalind McLymont, and billions of other strong women would have to say about that.
Ladies, it's National Women's History Month. The Phenomenal Women's Group, Girlfiends Get Together, Sistahs In Unity and a number of other women's groups to be announced, are coming together to bring an exciting night of networking and fun to New York City's trendy night spot, Solas on 9th Street between 2nd & 3rd Avenues. The Theme for the 2007 National Women's History Month celebration is "Generations of Women Moving History Forward."
There will be a special presentation highlighting some critically acclaimed historic events, including the 50th anniversary of the integration of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, and the 30th anniversary of the National Women's Conference in Houston, Texas.
In 1957, the integration of Central High School helped ignite the Civil Rights Movement, and n 1977, the National Women's Conference in Houston marked a high point in the influence of the Women's Rights Movement on the formation of government policy.
Additional exciting activities will be announced.
The Phenomenal Women Group, Girlfriends Get Togther and Sistahs In Unity invite you to join them for a evening of networking with the city's most Phenomenal Women. Other women's groups are encouraged to partner with the event.
"We are calling for solidarity among the nation's strongest driving force – the life blood of this nation and the entire world – our women. Let us take time out from our busy lives to come together for the purpose of making new alliances and building new friendships. Please join The Phenomenal Women Group, Girlfriends Get Together, Sistahs In Unity and other women and women's groups in solidarity as we celebrate the blessing of womanhood and sheer awesomeness," stated Brenda Jeanne Wyche, PR Director for The Phenomenal Women Group.

Sustainable Glass Home in USA Opening Up Towards a Perfect Landscape
Proudly nestled in a wooded property in Washington State, USA, Port Ludlow Residence is a contemporary residential project implemented by the creative team at FINNE Architects. The impressive 2400 square feet glass home sits along a high bank, with great views of the water. Here is more from the architects regarding the structure of the project: "The main living volume is completely glazed, with 12-ft. high glass walls facing the view and large, 8-ft.x8-ft. sliding glass doors that open to a slightly raised wood deck, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor space. During the warm summer months, the living area feels like a large, open porch. Anchoring the north end of the living space is a two-story building volume containing several bedrooms and separate his/her office spaces". Acting as the social core of the residence, the double-height living room abounds in natural light and showcases a minimalist, yet welcoming design. Sustainable features of the project include large overhangs for sun and rain protection, recycled steel siding for maximum durability and a heat pump mechanical system for maximum energy efficiency.

Per and I had an offline discussion about this to explore what he'd been observing in practice. In most situation it appears to be the case that higher quality does in fact lead to lower costs and shorter time for delivery, something that Per and I had observed numerous times. This happens because high quality code is much easier to understand and evolve than low quality code -- the agile community has found that it is very inexpensive to write high quality code by following practices such as continuous integration, developer regression testing [or better yet test-driven development(TDD)], static code analysis, following common development conventions, and agile modeling strategies. When you "bake in" quality from the start through applying these techniques, instead of apply traditional techniques such as reviews and end-of-lifecycle testing (which is still valid for agile projects, but should not be your primary approach to testing) which have long feedback cycles and therefore prove costly in practice. But, as we've learned time and again, when you find yourself in more complex situations of Agility@Scale sometimes the mainstream agile strategies fall down. For example, in situations where the regulatory compliance scaling factor is applicable, particularly regulations around protecting human life (i.e. the FDA's CFR 21 Part 11), you find that some of the URPS requirements require a greater investment in quality which can increase overall development cost and time. This is particularly true when you need to start meeting 4-nines requirements (i.e. the system needs to be available 99.99% of the time) let alone 5-nines requirements or more. The cost of thorough testing and inspection can rise substantially in these sorts of situations.
In conclusion, it does seem to be true in the majority of situations, which is what the level 1 rhetoric focuses on, that higher quality leads to lower development costs. But at scale this doesn't always seem to hold true.
PS -- Sorry for the corny title, but a couple of days ago at the Rational Software Conference I had the pleasure of interviewing Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage from the Discovery Channel's Mythbuster's show as part of the conference keynote. They're great guys, BTW, who have had a really positive impact on motivating children to be interested in science (apparently kids like to see stuff get blown up, go figure).

Prior to our ease of internet access and the wide spectrum of test data uploaded for browsing covering every subject under the sun, a man could only decide what to preference by gathering information from experienced folks, respected elders, textbooks, or from their personal education and experience. Occasionally advice from some of the aforementioned may not have been reliable.
As an example, I was never able to convince my father the wind chill factor has no effect on cold weather starting. 20 degrees is 20 degrees no matter how fast the wind is blowing. The only effect wind has is blowing away heat you are trying to apply to warm things up. I know people who still would take my dad's side offering hours of debate about wind chill.
Can you believe everything you read on the internet? You have to consider the source of the information. Data submitted from testing laboratories and OE manufacturers' such as the B & S oil temperature chart you shared, I would regard as reliable.
I think I've mentioned this before, I like to learn one new thing everyday. I'm not afraid of changing a long time practice due to the discovery of new or updated reliable information. It's part of the learning process.
Good post.
I am an evidence based person, if there is a real study that supports a course of action then that is the right course to follow. I do not understand why anyone would want to use straight weight oil or even worse, non-detergent oil, for an engine. Oil has changed a bit in the past 60 years. Putting 10W oil in an engine may help at low temps for starting but may be too thin once the engine warms to operating temps. Multiviscosity oils correct that problem.
I also do not believe everything I read on this or any other web board nor do I always believe what is written in a book. Try to determine if what is posted fits with the accepted science. The accepted science may still be wrong but is a good place to start.
Even though I believe in multiweight oils, a cub engine is not a Cummins. I expect the bearing loading is different and the cub may be a lot less likely to be damaged during startup. Old oil left over from the turkey fry may work in a cub engine but if you have to buy the oil you may as well use a modern oil.

Liberty News
Seminary's Dr. Daniel Kim honored for years of service
Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary professor Dr. C. Daniel Kim was recognized in Wednesday's convocation for his 32 years of ministry at the seminary and abroad.
Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. presented Kim with a plaque in recognition of his faithful service to the seminary and for being "a role model and spiritual leader for countless Korean pastors and missionaries." The plaque was presented on behalf of Liberty's Board of Trustees and gives Kim the title of Distinguished Professor of Church History and Intercultural Studies.
Kim is the seventh Liberty professor to earn the title of Distinguished Professor.
Kim is the director of the seminary's Korean language assistance program. Since he moved to Lynchburg and began teaching at the seminary 32 years ago, thousands of Korean citizens have chosen to continue their education at Liberty, with many pastoring churches in Korea with thousands of members.
Vice chancellor and provost Dr. Ron Godwin introduced Kim as an "unsung hero."
"Even today we have several hundred studying here at Liberty because of the unchallenged recognized spiritual leadership of one man," said Godwin.
Kim was raised in a Christian home in North Korea and became a Christian at the age of 14. He earned his bachelor's degree at Young Nam University and his bachelor's of divinity at Presbyterian Theological Seminary, both in Korea. Kim went on to earn his Master of Sacred Theology degree from Biblical Theological Seminary in New York, N.Y. He earned his Doctor of Theology degree from Dallas Seminary in 1963.
Kim founded the Lynchburg Korean School, which opened in January 2009, and offers eight class levels for students. He also founded the Korean Baptist Church of Lynchburg, a ministry of Thomas Road Baptist Church.
He has also been a pastor in churches in Montana and Minnesota. He is the author of the book "Salvation, Sanctification and Service," which was published in Korea. Several of Kim's articles have also been published in Korea.

Game 110: Baltimore at Toronto
The good doctor needs some help. Ever since coming back from that pesky groin injury, Roy Halladay has not had much love from his offense. He takes the mound today against the O's looking for win No. 12, but he can't do it alone.
Over Doc's last seven starts, the man has logged 54 innings with two complete games and three outings in which he punched in for nine frames. He has compiled 48 strikeouts against eight walks, including no free passes issued to the last 73 batters he has faced.
Along the way, Halladay has thrown 68 percent of his pitches for strikes, fashioned a 1.31 grounder-to-flyball ratio and posted a 3.17 ERA (bloated by the fact that 7 ER came between innings 7-9 while Halladay tried to buy more time for his lineup to go to work).
For all of his work, Halladay has posted a 1-4 record over the last seven starts and the Jays have gone 1-6 in that span. Toronto has given Doc just 18 runs of support (2.6 per game) over that period with no more than three runs in each his last five trips up the hill.
It's been very reminiscent of last season, when the Blue Jays gave Halladay just 23 runs to work with across his 11 losses. Today, the Orioles send rookie Brian Matusz (fourth overall pick in the 2008 Draft) to the mound as Doc's opponent. Halladay has been great in his career against the O's, going 19-4 with a 2.92 ERA, but he needs some assistance.

The Vegas 51's played the Iowa Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago today, part of the Cubs planned marketing of their affiliated minor league league clubs (which is a great idea).
Although, the 51's lost the game 5-4, Travis Snider continued his hitting tirade by hitting two home runs over the ivy in deep right center. Travis is hitting .487 over the last 10 games with 6 singles, 8 doubles, 5 home runs, 6 walks and 16 rbi's. Dopirak, who's cooled off over the last 4 games went 1-4 and is now hitting .323/.358/.535.
There was 16,280 fans at Wrigley to view the event…..If the Jays want to grow baseball in Canada why don't they consider having some Auburn or Lansing games in Southern Ontario, Some New Hampshire games in the Maritimes and and some Vegas games in Vancouver/Calgary, etc.
In response to the Iowa Cubs game at Wrigley, it's an interesting idea but I don't see it really applying to the Blue Jays.
I'd imagine the goal was to drum up interest about Cubs fans in Chicago for the AAA team in the hopes that more of them make the not-so-far trip to neighbouring Iowa.
This would make sense for the Jays if the AAA team were still in Syracuse, but not so much with them being in Vegas – though with all the other attractions in Vegas, you could pitch gambling/baseball weekend junkets to Toronto fans.
It would be interesting I suppose, for the young players to experience the big league stadium and the fans to see the top prospects – but would fans really come in Toronto? Somehow I doubt it.
On a similar topic, I wish some of the Las Vegas 51's games were broadcast in Canada, think you might have more interest there.
I didn't suggest bringing any of the teams into Toronto, maybe Hamilton or London for the Auburn or Lansing teams. I would have the Vegas team play in Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary.
The concept is to build interest in the Jays on a national basis. The point is if Rogers can build their broadcast audience the ratings goes up and revenue goes up.I think it would have huge impact for Rogers and build interest in the Jays on a national basis.
You can listen to all 51's as well as New Hampshire, Dunedin and Lansing games no charge through the internet, you'll find the connection on their web site under the multi media button. If you have difficulty locating this, let me know and I'll post the links.
MiLB tv is available for the same teams. The games that are televised are shown over the internet on MiLB TV. It's not the greatest broadcast quality, but you'll love the announcers. Generally speaking, you can watch as many minor league games as you want for $6.95 per month. A link to this service is below.
Too bad about Towers, the Yanks DFA'd him when they activated Gaudin.
Sounds like trade talks are heating up with Chicago on Alex Rios. If I had my druthers, I'd rather see Wells dealt instead, even if we picked up the difference between the two contracts. Rios, imo, has more upside than Wells, is younger and his contract can be managed in future years. Sooner or later we're going to take a hit on Wells, it might as well be now.
Rios gone to Chicago-I wonder if Travis Snider starts tonight.
Quote: Rios, imo, has more upside than Wells. I imagine that is why the Cubs would have claimed him rather than Wells. Unfortunately, if Rios is dealt, there goes one of our two speed merchants, and the Jays lose some of their ability to manufacture runs. Unless, of course, Reed Johnson becomes part of the trade.
IMO, the Jays don't pay enough attention to speed. Speed shows up every day, doesn't go into slumps, and can win ball games for you. Just ask Joe Maddon.
It's the Whitesox, not The Cubs. Hopefully, Wells and Overbay will be next.
I agree, but that isn't going to happen until the new President comes in. If you add it all up, its a huge number.
Remember when they talked about the Lincecum trade, Rios wasn't signed to this contract. Also, Snider who will replace Rios has much more upside and funds are freed up for other purposes. It had just better not be JP making the decisions on who to sign and how much to pay him.

How the heck couldn't they get anything for him ? I don't understand this at all. This news pisses me off. They better do something with that money this offseason (Rolen's + Rios') Either go after someone like Bay this offseason or completely rebuild. To go from almost having Tim Lincecum for him to getting nothing is aggravating, I obviously didn't expect a Tim Lincecum this time around but a guy with some upside would've been nice. If according to J.P. they wanted them to eat some salary then keep him and see if other teams are interested in the offseason. To do this now makes little sense in my opinion.
The best salary dump would be to get rid of Riccardi . Imagine how much money the Jays would save or could have saved
oh no, here we go again. I posted an answer to Indigo and Enigma after reading their posts and mine was posted twice in front of theirs.
Please JP, report this problem
As of now, TSni is in the starting lineup for LV tonight. I hope this changes. He better be the guy coming up.
If they don't call up Snider JP deserves to be whipped.
Enigma ,
I totally agree with you . First they take a quiet , hard working pitcher ( Halladay) and toss his name out there creating a circus sideshow . I believe it not only effected Doc but the whole team …..the team flatlined. Now they give Rios away for nothing . Riccardi keeps saying its not a money thing but how can anyone believe a word he spews . Can anyone tell me why Riccardi is still a GM ?
I am in total disgust right now . I realize Beeston won't due anything until the new President comes , maybe I will put the Jays on hold until that happens
I actually think this was one of Beeston's moves-not JP's. I'm hoping they do the same thing with both Wells and Overbay.
From Bastian's tweet
"Seems doubtful that Travis Snider will get the call from AAA. Jays don't need an OF right away. Maybe a guy like Randy Ruiz will get a look."
If this is the case, this is seriously a dumb move. Although Ruiz has had a career year in AAA, he's 32 in October and a first baseman. But Snider is playing tonight and Ruiz isn't in the starting lineup.
GS while i'm really excited about Travis' potential I still don't think it's right that they gave Rios for nothing. Travis can move into right field next year but then who plays left ? If it's Lind who DH's ? You're likely right in that it could be Beeston's call but I don't like how they're claiming that they want to contend next year and have just created a big hole.
They're not going to contend next year, unless they dump both Overbay and Wells and get damn lucky.
Snider will produce more offense than Rios and cost 10 million less. BUT, we still need a 1st baseman with power ( hopefully Dopirak), a 3rd baseman who can hit in the 4th hole and a lead off guy-assuming we don't resign Scutaro. We also need all our pitchers to be healthy.

As the colder weather crawls in for many of us, there are definitely two things you'll want to have on hand – lip balm and hand cream. No one wants chapped lips or rough hands so here are two recommendations to keep them both smooth, bright and well-hydrated.
{Certified Organic Cocoa Powder with a hint of Essential Oil of Lavender & Organic Blueberry Flavor! .15 oz Tube $3.49}
Eco Lips makes some of the best petroleum-free lip balm on the market with a line that includes both 100% organic options as well as a vegan balm. They have a flavor for everyone, especially since they teamed up with Honest Tea® and Dagoba® chocolate to bring us some seriously fun and unique flavors (like the one above). AND they have tinted options as well! For the quality, you can't beat the prices – lip balms are all under $3.50 and the tinted are under $4.50.
This Exfoliage Natural Hand Cream by TonicCare is normally $24.99, but with the current online sale it's now $12.99. It's specifically designed to reduce fine lines and wrinkles on hands (aka one of the places where aging often shows the most and the soonest). Some of the beneficial natural ingredients include Grape Seed Oil, Algae Extract, Chamomile Oil, Almond Oil and Papaya Fruit Extract.
More fall beauty recommendations to come! Have a great Monday.

THOURIA MAHMOUD: And I'm a student in Northwestern
in Qatar, a sophomore in journalism. And now we're in Carnegie Mellon University
in Qatar, and I'm talking to Mr. Secretary. If you had any advice for students who are,
like, looking forward to pursue any science major, what would you tell them? SECRETARY OF ENERGY STEVEN CHU: In universities
they call a liberal arts education something where, with a good education, you're actually
learning to teach yourself in the future, right, how to think critically, how to read
a book, how to look at things in a way that you're not force-fed – Is this true? This
isn't – to think for yourself. Well, I think physics was the best liberal
arts education I could have ever had. With a physics degree, you actually have a strong,
rigorous mathematical training. And later in my scientific career, I got interested
in other areas, in polymer science, in biology. A lot of the things I'm doing – now doing
impact on chemistry. And in all those things where I went into
a new area, I never mentally thought: Well, oh, I cannot ever understand biology or polymer
physics or things like that, because of this very rigorous mathematical training. I am
terrible with memorizing things, and that's another reason why I went into physics. I
– you don't have to memorize very many things. A few basic principles, you figure
it all out. Now, having said all that, studying science
is very hard. When I was a student, in high school and in college, it – I had to work
very hard. These are foreign ideas to me, and I – and I really had to work very hard.
It didn't come naturally. And – but I worked very hard at the beginning and then
afterwards it came much, much easier to me because it – I learned it well enough in
– when I was an undergraduate student that by the time I was a graduate student, they'd
just teach the same course over and over again, until you – and hope that you get it. It's like sports. Do you – do you do sports? MS. MAHMOUD: I'm in – I'm in the basketball
team. SEC. CHU: Oh, good. Now you might have been a natural athlete,
but sometimes you have to, you know, run and train and do drills, and is that fun? Well,
not really. Right? MS. MAHMOUD: Yeah. SEC. CHU: But it makes you a better player,
and that exercise and those – the training routines actually make it, in the end, more
enjoyable. MS. MAHMOUD: It does. SEC. CHU: OK? MS. MAHMOUD: Yeah. SEC. CHU: Because you know you're getting
better, and you feel good about yourself because you're getting better. So in all studies, no matter whether it's
humanities or sciences or social sciences, there's a certain amount of discipline and
training that, when you get better, you feel much better about yourself and more excited
about it, because you did all that hard work.

The Kensington Creative and Performing Arts High School (KCAPA) is part of a much larger commitment to sustainable change in Philadelphia. Located on a former brownfield site, the high school is educating and encouraging students as well as the surrounding community. SMP Architects in collaboration with SRK Architects designed and built the school to create a positive and encouraging space in which to learn and it features a number of energy efficient and healthy strategies to reduce the building's impact. Students and members of the community have a chance to engage and learn from its sustainable strategies like daylighting, rainwater collection, green roofs, gardening and much more.
KCAPA's new school is located on a challenging, long, narrow, north-south oriented site, directly next to the elevated transit line. Previously known as a haven for the homeless, drug activity and wild dogs, the site was a blight until the school district took it over and transformed it with an inspiring new building. SMP Architects had their work cut out for them to maximize daylight inside the classrooms, minimize noise from the train line and eliminate any stormwater runoff from the site. To achieve this, windows are largely placed away from the train line, skylights work to bring more light in and shading or glass fritting controls solar heat gain. A ground coupled heating and cooling system along with occupancy sensors provides very energy efficient climate control. A pv system is slated for installation on the roof and once installed will bring the school close to being net zero.
To meet the restrictions of the city water department for stormwater runoff, SMP designed a series of rain gardens, permeable paving and green roofs to soak up the water. Because of their green infused design, the firm was able to save the school a considerable amount of money for not having a stormwater bill or penalty assessments. A school garden provides space for students to grow and learn about food. Designed for durability and a long life, the school is also flexible for future uses and expansions if necessary. Small building footprints, the use of locally sourced materials and healthy and non-toxic materials further reduce the facility's impact.
Since KCAPA moved into their new building in 2010 it has become a source of inspiration for the community. A number of workshops have been held in the school to teach area residents about rainwater barrel construction, weatherstripping, recycling and more. The gardens and green roofs provide much needed open space in the neighborhood and new habitats for wildlife.

BERLIN — The 13th Annual Great Worcester Herp Search will take place Saturday, May 11 when volunteers scour county lands for reptiles and amphibians.
Sponsored by the Coastal Bays Program, Salisbury Zoo, Maryland Department of Natural Resources, and Salisbury University, the search kicks off at 9 a.m. at Furnacetown on Old Furnace Road off Route 12 near Snow Hill. A brief pre-hunt training session will feature live turtles, snakes, frogs, and salamanders and explain ways to identify them in the wild. It is free to the public and will be held to prep volunteers for searching four Worcester County sites in the morning and afternoon.
Last year 96 reptiles and amphibians representing 17 species were the result of the search held in Worcester County. Finds included coastal plain milksnakes, ringneck snakes, and wormsnakes. Box and spotted turtles were found along with fence lizards and four species of frogs and toads.
In Worcester, there are approximately 19 species of snakes, 15 species of frogs and toads, six species of salamanders, 13 species of turtles, and four species of lizards. The search will provide data to help DNR scientists better understand population trends in this declining group of vertebrates as they continue the first ever Maryland Herp Atlas.
This year's sites include public and private parcels in the heavily forested southern part of the county. No animals are harmed or removed from the wild during the search.
Participants should bring a sack lunch and drinks. Groups will return from the field around 12:30 p.m. for lunch then hunt again until approximately 5 p.m. All children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Sunscreen, mosquito and tick repellant, greenbriar proof-pants, bright clothing, and boots are recommended.
For more information call the Coastal Bays Program office at 410-213-2297.

Program History
The City of Portland begins regulating construction and demolition (C&D) debris. The ordinance and associated administrative rules required projects with a value of $25,000 or greater to recycle a minimum of 50 percent of construction debris generated at the job site, and mandated the recycling of five primary materials including metal, cardboard, wood, land-clearing debris, and rubble (concrete/brick).
Since 1995, projects meeting the $25,000 threshold, and later $50,000 threshold, have been required to fill out a Pre-Construction Recycling Plan Form, which explains the C&D requirements, and requests information on waste materials generated and the method of collection or if it was reused at the site.
The $25,000 threshold is increased to $50,000. The rationale at the time was that projects valued between $25,000 and $50,000 did not generate substantial amounts of recyclables.
A resolution is adopted and Portland City Council directs the then Office of Sustainable Development (now Bureau of Planning and Sustainability) to develop a plan that would achieve, among other things, increasing recovery of all waste with a target of 75 percent by the year 2015.
Portland City Council and the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners adopts resolutions directing staff to design a strategy to reduce local carbon emissions 80 percent by 2050. This results in the 2009 Climate Action Plan.The Portland Recycles! Plan recommends increasing the recycling requirement for C&D materials from 50 percent to 75 percent.
Mandatory 75 percent recycling rate is adopted for C&D materials.
Metro makes changes in the processing and disposal of mixed dry waste, primarily construction and demolition debris. The Enhanced Dry Waste Recovery Program (EDWRP) requires that all mixed dry waste generated in the metro region is delivered to a material recovery facility, ensuring that recyclable materials such as wood, cardboard and metal are first removed from mixed loads before disposal.
The Climate Action Plan is released, establishing a set of objectives to achieve an interim goal of a 40 percent reduction in carbon emissions by 2030. The Plan calls for technical assistance to contractors, and construction firms to meet Portland's C&D recycling requirement of 75 percent, giving priority to salvage and reuse activities.
The City of Portland updates its Green Building Policy for City-owned facilities, requiring recycling of at least 85 percent of all construction, remodeling and demolition waste for new construction and major renovations.
The City's new online resource for C&D material management is launched at www.RecyclingNutsandBolts.com. City staff will spend more time in the field ensuring that requirements are being met and answering any contractors questions.

Systolic pressure is the pressure of blood against the artery walls
when the heart has just finished contracting or pumping out blood. (Diastolic
pressure is the pressure of blood against the artery walls between heartbeats,
when the heart is relaxed and filling with blood.)
Systolic blood pressure is the upper number of a blood pressure
reading. For example, if a person's systolic pressure is 120 millimeters of
mercury (mm Hg) and the diastolic pressure is 80 mm Hg, blood pressure is
recorded as 120/80 and read as "120 over 80."

VIENNA, April 20 (Reuters) - Most Austrians are in favour of relaxing the strict banking secrecy rules that have isolated the Alpine republic from its European peers, according to two polls published on Saturday.
Only 18 percent want to keep banking secrecy in its current form, a Gallup poll for daily tabloid Oesterreich found, while a second poll for news weekly profil found only 14 percent would be opposed to Austria's sharing details of foreigners' accounts.
Austria is under pressure to share information with its European Union partners on accounts held by foreigners after Luxembourg decided this month to do so, leaving it as the EU's last holdout.
Currently Austria deducts interest income tax at source from foreign accounts and sends most of proceeds back to the depositors' home countries without revealing names of the account holders.
Chancellor Werner Faymann has indicated he is ready to exchange some details on foreigners' accounts but will protect confidentiality for law-abiding Austrian savers.
But Finance Minister Maria Fekter has said she will fight "like a lioness" for banking secrecy, which has been traditionally cherished in Austria.
The new polls suggested that attachment to confidentiality may be waning, especially for foreigners.
The Oesterreich poll found 44 percent in favour of Faymann's compromise, while 31 percent were ready to give up banking secrecy altogether. Half thought Fekter's stance unsustainable.
The profil poll, carried out by the Karmasin market research institute, found as many as 71 percent of Austrians in favour of Austria's sharing details of foreigners' accounts.

I want a universal password manager - something that can work with any browser and any OS - and I want it to be simple, secure and completely dummy-proof. Turns out that such a thing actually exists. Meet LastPass.
Lifehacker's Kevin has a great guide to how LastPass works and how you can get the most out of it, but here's one of the most important things to keep in mind:
[T] he only thing stored on LastPass' servers is a heavily encrypted bundle of your passwords and the sites they belong to-a form of host-proof hosting. They don't have the encryption key to your passwords (only you do), and the encryption and decrypting all takes place on your own computer, where a backup copy of LastPass' records is always kept. If LastPass became evil, or got hacked, the nefarious doers would have to buy one of Google's server farms to break into its users' passwords.
Sold? I am and will be giving LastPass a shot. You can read all about the password manager's features such as browser extensions, one-time passwords, bookmarklets, secure notes and mobile app compatibility over at Lifehacker. [Lifehacker]

Corbin Miller and the Crimson improved to 2-0 in the Ivy League (Gil Talbot).
HANOVER, N.H. – Corbin Miller led Harvard with 13 points, going 3-of-4 from 3-point range, while Steve Moundou-Missi tallied nine points and two blocks to propel the No. 24 Harvard men's basketball team to a 54-38 win on the road at Dartmouth Saturday evening. With the victory, the Crimson pushes its Ivy record to 2-0, while improving to 16-2 overall.
Keith Wright led the Crimson with seven rebounds, while Brandyn Curry handed out five in a winning effort. Harvard went 8-of-17 (.471) from long distance in the game and outrebounded Dartmouth, 31-28. The Crimson's bench also had a 31-14 advantage in points. Dartmouth's 38 points was the fewest surrendered by the Crimson since a 41-35 win at Dartmouth Jan. 11, 1992.
Jvonte Brooks (12 points, nine rebounds) and Tyler Melville (10) paced the Big Green in scoring. Dartmouth slips to 0-2 in conference action and 4-14 overall.
The Crimson missed its first nine field goals of the game, as the Big Green led, 4-0, at the first media timeout. Wright got Harvard on the scoreboard with a jumper in the lane and then Moundou-Missi followed with a three-point play, as the Crimson cut the deficit to 6-5.With just under 13 minutes to play, Christian Webster nailed a trey from the corner, tying the game, 8-8.
With 9:57 remaining in the opening half, Miller stepped up a buried a triple, giving Harvard a 13-10 advantage. Wesley Saunders made a steal moments later and dished out a pass to Moundou-Missi for a strong, two-handed slam, as Harvard led, 15-10. The Crimson extended its advantage to eight points, 18-10, with a triple by Rivard, Harvard's third 3-pointer of the half. Webster added an acrobatic layup in the pain to give the Crimson a 20-16 lead with less than three minutes to go. Oliver McNally followed with a trey from the top of the key, as Harvard went up by seven, 23-16.
Moundou-Missi and Webster each led Harvard at the break with five points apiece, as the Crimson carried a 23-16 lead into the break. Harvard made 4-of-8 shots from beyond the arc (.500), but was only 8-of-23 (.348) overall from the floor in the first frame. The Crimson held Dartmouth to 6-of-20 shooting (.300), while rebounds were even, 14-14, after the first 20 minutes.
Rivard was fouled attempting a 3-pointer and made two of the ensuing free throws, as Harvard led, 25-16, early in the second. With 13:52 to play, Webster stepped up and drilled a wide-open triple, making it 28-20 in favor of the Crimson. Harvard made its next three baskets, including two by Moundou-Missi, opening a nine-point edge, 34-25.
The Crimson continued to up its lead, as Kyle Casey dribbled along the baseline and finished with a two-handed dunk, 36-25.Wright fed Miller with a pass for a wide-open triple, as the Crimson owned a 39-26 advantage with just under 10 minutes left. Miller added a jumper before the shot clock could expire, and Casey connected on a basket from the right side, as Harvard began to pull away, 43-26.
With 6:41 left, Casey was fouled going up for a dunk and
completed the 3-point play by hitting the foul shot, giving Harvard
a 20-point lead, 46-26. Miller made his third triple from the right
corner, giving Harvard its largest lead, 49-28.
The Crimson will remain on the road and will visit Yale Friday, Jan. 27 at 7 p.m.

A Florida Keys man was arrested after he stabbed a couple with a box cutter at an outreach mission facility because they were kissing, authorities said.
Andrew Sullivan, 53, was arrested on an aggravated battery charge following the stabbing at the Star of the Sea Outreach Mission on Stock Island Friday night, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies responded to reports of a stabbing at the outreach mission and found a man and woman sitting on a bench covered in blood. The woman had been cut on the arm and the man had several wounds, including one to his upper right chest, authorities said.
The couple said they had been watching movies and drinking with Sullivan at the woman's living quarters when Sullivan became angry because they kissed, authorities said.
Sullivan pulled out the box cutter and stabbed the man then stabbed the woman when she intervened, authorities said.
Sullivan fled the scene but was found hiding in a small space behind a shed on the property, authorities said. He complained of neck pain and was hospitalized along with the stabbing victims.
Jail records showed Sullivan was being held without bond Saturday. It was unknown whether he has an attorney.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Bay Area air pollution board said Monday it will expand its system of air monitors near oil refineries to detect smoke and fumes that were largely missed in the Aug. 6 Chevron refinery fire in Richmond.
"People have a right to know what's in the air they breathe," said John Gioia, a Contra Costa County supervisor and chairman of the nine-county air board.
The extra monitors should be able to pick up routine long-term pollution as well as toxic releases during emergencies, or during accidental releases, members of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District board said.
Everything from portable sniffing machines to balloon monitors that could be released into smoke plumes will be evaluated, agency managers said at a meeting attended by dozens of West Contra Costa residents and environmental leaders.
"We need an expanded monitoring system to know what's in the air after incidents like this," said Gioia, of Richmond.
Gioia said refineries will pay for the new monitors.
Air district board members said they will examine options for new monitoring devices as they create a new rule to regulate what pollution information refineries will be required to collect and report to the public.
The air district had been scheduled to take more than a year to come up with the rule. In the wake of the Chevron fire, the air district now intends to enact the rule in 2013, said Jack Broadbent, the district's executive director.
After the Chevron fire, more than 15,200 people visited hospitals with complaints of lung, eye and throat irritation and headaches and dizziness.
Because the smoke went up 1,000 to 5,000 feet in the air and then dispersed, air pollution monitors in West Contra Costa failed to detect any big jump in smoke particles, air district officials said.
The district has about 40 fixed pollution monitors, including eight that monitor for fine soot particles — the pollutants suspected of causing the most health problems after the fire.
The air board will investigate the latest technology for portable soot monitors, but they are not as reliable as portable monitors for gaseous pollutants, said Eric Stevenson, the district's director of technical services.
It's not enough to get some pollution data, but rather results that can be quickly analyzed, understood and communicated to the public, Stevenson said.
Several environmental leaders said the air district has dragged its feet for years, talking about better monitoring, but the talk dies after memories fade of the latest incident.
"We need to have something real this time," said Henry Clarke, executive director of the West Contra Costa Toxics Coalition.
Denny Larson of Global Community Watch, based in El Cerrito, said the air district has balked at adopting "21st century technology" to monitor refineries.
"Things are about to change," because of the Chevron fire, Larson said.

You'll laugh: Goosestepping and the Colorado governor's race
Normally, invoking Nazis isn't good for a laugh but a video with "Hitler" being furious that Mayor John Hickenlooper is in the governor's race is a hoot.
The video, which can be found on YouTube, features scenes from the movie "Downfall," showing Hitler in his final days in the bunker as the war goes badly. It now has American subtitles, all related to the Colorado governor's race.
"Hitler" goes beserk when he learns that Democrat Bill Ritter is no longer in the race, but Hickenlooper will be the nominee.
"This was supposed to be all sewn up," he screams talking about how people love the mayor.
"We think calling him 'Hickenritter' will work," one person says.
Hitler" also instructs anyone who has ever eaten at any of Hickenlooper's restaurants to leave the room. Only a handful of people are left.
"We can use oil and gas money against the mayor," someone says.
"He's a geologist! He's always been for responsible development," Hitler screams back.
There are some delicious digs at GOP candidate Scott McInnis, including a swipe at his hair.
No word on who is behind the video.
But YouTube has another video, same footage, but this time with Hitler going nuts when he learns that Republican Scott Brown has won the U.S. Senate race.
