The European Union and Japan leaders met today in Tokyo to reinforce their strategic partnership and sign two landmark agreements: the Strategic Partnership Agreement and the Economic Partnership Agreement, which creates an open trade zone covering over 600 million people and nearly a third of global GDP.
The EU is strongly committed to the stability and prosperity of Moldova. Thanks to a trade agreement in the framework of the EU's Eastern Partnership programme, trade between the EU and Moldova increased a further 18% in 2017, accounting for 55% of Moldova's total trade. Meeting on 3 May, EU High Representative Mogherini and Moldovan PM Filip discussed further steps needed in order to translate increased trade volumes into tangible benefits for citizens.
The European Union and Mexico today reached a new agreement on trade, part of a broader, modernised EU-Mexico Global Agreement. Practically all trade in goods between the EU and Mexico will now be duty-free, including in the agricultural sector. Simpler customs procedures will further benefit the EU's industry, including in sectors like pharmaceuticals, machinery and transport equipment. The agreement also lays down progressive rules on sustainable development. Among other things, the EU and Mexico have committed to effectively implementing their obligations under the Paris Agreement on climate change. It will also be the first EU trade agreement to tackle corruption in the private and public sectors.

It's Time for India Inc. to Step Up
By Nishtha Gautam
Dwarka, is the sad place where the young woman who was raped on a New Delhi bus last month was cremated Sunday morning.
The area, on Delhi's western reaches, is both one of the most notorious regions in the city for dumping dead or raped bodies as well as a preferred residential destination for corporate India, the "executive class."
It is this class that, last year, helped give momentum to the anti-corruption movement led by Anna Hazare. Many bosses sent their employees on full or half-day leave to take part in the demonstrations at the Ram Lilla ground. I still remember the "I Support Anna" stickers on the doors of big brand showrooms in malls and "Main Bhi Anna" caps and T-shirts proudly worn by the staff. Many corporate offices in Gurgaon, too, had signs of support at their reception. Many big business names openly supported the movement.
Now, I grant you this is not an empirical survey. But on all the days that I went for the protests at various venues last week to register my disgust at the fate of the young woman and the political system's lack of responsiveness to safety concerns, I saw students, professional activists, academics, neighbourhood "uncles and aunties" and even political groups in large numbers.
But I did not see, in any significant number, the laptop-carrying, PowerPoint-making, conference-calling, smartly turned-out representatives from India Inc. I wasn't really looking for the laptop bags and dapper business suits. Nor do I want to generalize about the appearance of the protesters.
All I'm saying is that during my many interactions with them last week, I found most of the consistent protesters were either students, teachers or people associated with activism. I met some "MNC" employees only on the two Saturdays, Dec. 22 and Dec. 29. Of those, most were women who could not afford personal vehicles or cabs for their daily commute so the fate of a young woman on a bus was, perhaps, especially redolent.
Newspapers reported that the gang-rape alerted corporate India towards the security of their women employees. Some reportedly responded with board discussions about safety or meetings between human resources departments and employees. Of course, these concerns aren't new: Female professionals across the country are at risk of sexual assault by strangers while travelling back and forth for work.
What surprised me, therefore, was the apparent absence of this community of professionals at these protests, which are dubbed by many as a herald of a social change. Women professionals, independent and forward thinking, were supposed to be at the helm of this revolution. Why then did women professionals and their male colleagues turn up only on the weekend and even then in not huge numbers?
Some might say that offices don't stop functioning because there are social protests in the city. True, professionalism requires focus and maybe some kind of detachment, too. But surely this also was a time to step out and show solidarity with the victim and with the broader frustration over the state of things.
I agree that the number of sloganeering protesters in the street cannot be taken as the sole marker of a movement's relevance and reach. But I also believe that this is the time – if not now, when?
I appreciate people like Kiran Mazumdar Shaw for airing their views on national television. But that is not enough. Our fellows in board-rooms and fancy cubicles didn't bother to come out during the week. I'm sure everyone was with the water-cannoned, tear-gassed and lathi-charged protesters in spirit but why did the corporate India not find it pressing enough to bunk at least one day at work? Sometimes "support from outside" isn't enough, either for a government or a social movement.
Sure there are strategies being discussed to tackle harassment at the workplace and safety during transit, but why this distance from sentiment on the street? Why not convey to young students that although we do not travel in city buses, we share your concerns about feeling unsafe? Why not assure them that once they are out of college and join the corporate world, they will be made to feel safer? They are, after all, your prospective future employees.
All of us are disgusted with the political apathy that the issue of women's rights has been greeted with for a long time. We wanted to see our political leadership come out with assurances and concrete steps, they failed us and we castigated them rightly.
Why, then, are we silent on the apathy of corporate India? It is this community that symbolizes the empowerment of women and has attempted to redefine gender roles. By making women self-reliant economically and by opening avenues for their talent and capabilities, the corporate world has contributed in a large way to the cause of gender equality.
Nevertheless, it is also an integral part of the system that we have established that still sees tension between men and women, inside and outside the office. I do not know how India Inc. plans to deal with its internal dichotomies with respect to gender equality. But I certainly would have liked to see more of its representatives rubbing shoulders with the protesters on Raisina Hill.

The fertile muck (& brush with death #2)
These are pictures taken immediately following the 50 miler, which again was the day after the 50k at Three Days of Syllamo. I had no clue how dehydrated I was at the time and that within the hour, I'd be blind and nearly puking from dehydration, laying on the shower floor. Thank God the body has these automatic mechanims to keep us alive- while our loved ones run for water. And thank God water did the trick. I was so scared. I even thought I should utter my farewell to SR.
Writing about the myriad other injuries I suffered from and the 16 falls over the three days, two of which involved hitting my head on a rock, seem trite now. And who on earth would complain after a race like this? It was, as I said on Facebook, perhaps my favorite vacation to date. Maybe my favorite race, too. Not because I think I deserve to be tortured (see Danni's blog post) but because this is absolutely the way to experience life. I just wish it could be more or a whole family experience.
Here we are arriving in Blanchard Springs, AR, not really knowing what to expect.
But by the next day the weather was sunny and perfect.
Below I momentarily accomplish a move that belongs in a Devo or Daft Punk video, at around mile 27 of the 50 miler.
The Lorax, in the meantime, was having quite a picnic with a ham & mayo sandwich, yogurt, and I am not going to get angry about the cola (and assume he said "no thank you" to it). The Lorax and I had a bit of a falling out on the trip, where he told me I should probably just stay at the hotel in Chillicothe, MO, while he drive home with SR and my mom. But I have subsequently gotten two "I love you Mommy"'s, one because I checked out Diego in the Snow for him at the library and the other because I took him to his violin lessons.
Here is my mom, who perpetually looks younger and happier than me (I).
But one must admit, that despite these experiences being immensely enjoyable, they take a big toll on the body. It would be nice to find a Three Days of Syllamo lifestyle that was more compatible with longterm survival.The day after the race, I had a half an hour crying spell for no reason and I hurt so badly everywhere that I couldn't walk. The next day, I broke out into a cold sweat at the library alone with the two boys. I rushed home with them before the real deal hit, and shook on the couch for two hours with what is the highest, scariest fever I can remember (again, I was close to calling 911), while the boys cried in fear and evetually both fell asleep. I would say it was the flu, but I was fine the next day. So I don't know what it was. But I don't think it can be chalked up to The Ides of March.
The next day (yesterday), we had a great day.
SR and I bought road bikes (ours are still in Denmark - they are hard to ship as Mmmonyka knows). I am thrilled with this used "Litespeed" which I got for $999. I would love to have the cheapest bike at the High Cliff half iron man, but I guess that is unlikely. I have also now entered the world of click-in pedals.
Natali joined us for a bike ride in this amazing weather we're having. And she informed me that all of her friends have at least 300 followers on their blogs - and they don't even write anything. (I am clearly doing something wrong)
But even if no one is reading this, I will always be able to look back and smile.
Now go wish Piccola Pinecone congrats on her baby girl!!
Poem of the day
The Fertile Muck by Irving Layton
(just one stanza, but the whole poem is great)
How to dominate reality? Love is one way;
imagination another. Sit here
beside me, sweet; take my hard hand in yours.
We'll mark the butterflies disappearing over the hedge
with tiny wristwatches on their wings:
our fingers touching the earth, like two Buddhas.
Running song of the day (fellow Canadians of Piccolo and Irving)
SR and I don't usually agree on literature or music, but we do agree on Tegan & Sara
"I Know I Know I Know" by Tegan and Sara
Happy 5 year anniversary, SR!!!!

Can I be your mum for just a second, and say you worry me a bit with your cold sweats, fevers and so on... look after yourself, hey?
As for Natali's comment, very pourd to say I am doing slightly better than you : I may have only 8 followers (and that includes... me... for some reason!), but at least, I don't write much... cleraly I am on the right track (pun not intended when it was written)!

Post-race sounds scary. Why exactly do you do things like that to yourself? But you did not know that fever, cold sweats etc would happen so I am not going to tell you off. Unless you do that again!
But the race experience sounds awesome, seems you really had a great time! And so did SR (I read it on his blog).
Regarding taking bikes on planes: you need to be witty and play your cards right. Be self-confident but play little dumb at the same time. Then once you confuse (or rather "outtrick" in this case) everyone at the check-in desk, then go back to being witty and voila, they take your bike on board with zero extra charges. And you probably also need to have a lot of luck in the mix. Unfortunatelly.

Low blood sugar, Darling? Sounded scary! You worry me, you are elated during your endurance. However, after you vagal down twice? Maybe your blood volume shrank, water is not enuff....drink pickle juice, not kidding!
- 16 March 2012 at 13:00
- sea legs girl said...
Lisa, during the race I had 16 s caps and drank only energy drink (almost a bottle per 5 miles, until the last 10 where I couldn't drink as much). I ate a ton and low blood sugar does not cause this type of vasodilatory fainting in the shower. I also drank some more sports drink after I got the initial water. Sorry I didn't make it clear in this post. But good point - it deserved clarification!!
- 16 March 2012 at 13:24
- sea legs girl said...
Mmmonyka and Mapp - I do think there was a bug going around at the race because a bunch of people reported getting a fever two days afterwards. It's just odd that SR, The Lorax and Mattias haven't gotten anything yet.
Mmmonyka - thanks for the bike on plane tip. Sounds just about right in regards to how plane rules function: there is so much luck and charm involved.

I am still not recovered from Su. I also had a fever (only 100.5 though) and now a cold. It's weird because I recovered immediately from Slickrock. Sometimes our bodies just give us the finger I guess. Your kiddos are lookin' great.

Okay, I know the poetry was justto prove me wrong.
The Cows At Night
Hayden Carruth
The moon was like a full cup tonight,
too heavy, and sank in the mist
soon after dark, leaving for light
faint stars and the silver leaves
of milkweed beside the road,
gleaming before my car.
Yet I like driving at night
in summer and in Vermont:
the brown road through the mist
of mountain-dark, among farms
so quiet, and the roadside willows
opening out where I saw
the cows. Always a shock
to remember them there, those
great breathings close in the dark.
I stopped, and took my flashlight
to the pasture fence. They turned
to me where they lay, sad
and beautiful faces in the dark,
and I counted them–forty
near and far in the pasture,
turning to me, sad and beautiful
like girls very long ago
who were innocent, and sad
because they were innocent,
and beautiful because they were
sad. I switched off my light.
But I did not want to go,
not yet, nor knew what to do
if I should stay, for how
in that great darkness could I explain
anything, anything at all.
I stood by the fence. And then
very gently it began to rain.

Hi SLG,
'Fertile muck' .. makes perfect sense, but possibly in more ways than one! Which one is it that you like? And I don't really buy it when you write 'Ok, I really don't know what it is supposed to mean' .. 'cause I think you do!
All the best,
Me :)
- 16 March 2012 at 20:20
- sea legs girl said...
Interesting, Danni. There have been a number of studies showing our immune systems are affected by ultras. Wasn't that even part of the Western States study you were in? It makes me wonder, though, if despite being more susceptible to illness immediately following an ultra if we get stronger immune systems in the long run. I don't know how high my fever was; we don't have a thermometer. I remember having 102 a couple of years ago and it felt higher than that.
- 16 March 2012 at 20:33
- sea legs girl said...
Steve, that poem is wonderful! Thank you. The last line is amazing. My other favorite part was cows being called "great breathings", though it almost doesn't fit with the rest of the poem.
One would think I was trying to prove you wrong, but honestly this was a coincidence. I don't tend to be so obvious when attempting to prove people wrong :).

I have to start out by saying I always have different (likely wrong) interpretations of poetry than others. The fertile muck is ostensibly a juxtaposition of a negative and a positive, but they are both part of nature. The gist in my mind, is that nature is both beautiful and terrible, and our interpretation and imagination make it so - but in the end, though we pretend to control and be in charge of nature, we aren't. Of course, I am saying this having read the whole poem. Now it's your turn.
- 16 March 2012 at 20:43
- DDitlev said...
Hi SLG,
I read the title saw the two pictures and thought .. Ahh, how strong, short and wonderful!
What I saw was a woman feeling like shit (by the looks of it) and still being able to nurture her child. Thus the fertile muck was you.
Another meaning could be that the fertile muck was the trail on which you had spent the last three days. Meaning that this trip had given you something you needed.
and maybe even both..
In otherwords I really liked the title and thought it fitted perfectly.
All the best,
Me :)
- 16 March 2012 at 21:42
- sea legs girl said...
Daniel, I will also add that I think writing an interpretation of a poem detracts from the actual poem, which I think should be up to the individual to interpret in their mind. But it is still sort of a fun game to see what people think.
- 16 March 2012 at 21:43
- sea legs girl said...
Daniel, I thought of both of those meanings, too! Totally agree. I just decided to write the more overarching meaning :). And my above comment was written while you were writing.
- 16 March 2012 at 21:44
- Lisa said...
Ah, thanks! Background on why I said that: Once, when I was traveling, I vagaled down while in a seated position, my head got stuck between the tub & toilet, so now you all know where I was. . I took my first and only meat wagon ( ambulance ) ride to Fort Myers hospital. Evidently, I was very dehydrated and they lectured me on anorexia & running (????). I weighed 100#, perfectly fine for 5' tall. I had to defend myself & protest I ate like a pig, but didnt drink enough. Then, I had gastro issues from traveling. Blood went to gut, abandonded the brain, so down I went. Weird experience! Hope you are feeling better, now. Being ill is no fun.
- 17 March 2012 at 12:53
- sea legs girl said...
Lisa, this is a really good point you bring up! It is quite common for young women to have vaso-vagal fainting, especially if they are a little dehydrated and low on blood sugar. It happened to me once at Sonic Youth concert in high school when I weighed a good 25 lbs more than I weigh now and it was hot and sweaty; I hadn't drunk enough, etc. or eaten dinner. I was unaware fo the anorexia runner phenotype causing vasovagal fainting.
What I am trying to say is- what happened to me after the second day of the race was not vaso-vagal and was due to serious dehydration, as far as SR and I can tell.

I fainted (or nearly so) after a few races, varied from heat exhaustion, calorie deficit, dehydration, and sheer exertion level. Doesn't phase me one bit. You do look like death:) I agree that there are numerous studies about immune system going down after an ultra (especially if you put effort into it and not slogged half-walking and when you get older). The boys are awesome, and who cares about followers (I am not officially one of them, but I do read what you have to say:)). Happy anniversary! And, btw, Meghan got sick after Ozarks too.

Hello SLG,
I read Angie B's blog and found a link to your blog there. After 3 days I just finished reading your entire missive and wanted to say hello and thank you so much for sharing your life with us. It isn't always easy to follow your instincts particularly in the public eye.
I am a sidelined (PF) runner and look forward to following what you share as SLG. Thanks - Sara

Sonic Youth, you lucky dog! Who is the troglodyte whose comments must be deleted?
I see the difference, now you've explained. My problem was more gut vs. brain demand for blood pressure.
Looking forward to reading of the next adventure!
- 19 March 2012 at 18:40
- sea legs girl said...
Olga, yeah, I have been chatting with Meghan on Facebook daily. And Ashley Nordell was sick, too. But we all had pretty different symptoms. It was just a joke about the followers, by the way. If I had thousands of followers I'd know my blog was too generic or too much like a business. I like it the way it is.
- 20 March 2012 at 02:29
- sea legs girl said...
Nice to meet you! My first instict is to feel bad for you spending all of that time reading my writing - but I love the fact you called it a "missive". That's a pretty underused word. I really appreciate that you took the time to comment and let me know you were here.
- 20 March 2012 at 02:33
- sea legs girl said...
Lisa- wow a fellow Sonic Youth fan. Sadly I fainted during the first song and was rushed out to an ambulance, so I'll never know how good the concert was.
The troglodyte is just me making mistakes. What is a troglodyte, exactly?
- 20 March 2012 at 02:35
- Lisa said...
Ohhhhhh, craaap. I thought you were deleting someone elses rude remarks on your blog. I said to myself 'oh, we are back to this, I see.' I probably spelled it wrong, but it is a cave-dwelling creature. Many apologies!
I was thinking......let me know, everyone if this sounds reasonable...I wondered if your low BMI could have been your body processing 'evolution' to continue to adapt to very long distance running. Cut the wind better? Slim down. Fight gravity on tough trails, scree, rocks? Slim down. Drop unneccesary luggage? Slim down. Specialized adaptation could be applied, certainly. You are not built like a body builder, as you dont body build, and so on. Other women have chimed in in agreement, even citing their own examples. Eh, what do I know, I work in accounting and never made it past 7.2 miles.

At first, Eleanor doesn't bother trying to get to know anyone at her new school—not even the Asian kid she sits next to every day on the bus.
At first, all Park can think about is getting his driver's license so he won't be associated with the new girl, who is strange with her wild red curls and the ties she wears around her neck.
Then, Park starts to notice that she is secretly reading his comic books.
Then, Eleanor is surprised when a stack of comic books is waiting for her the next time she gets on the bus.
Finally, Park asks Eleanor about the song lyrics on her book covers. She replies that they are songs she wants to listen to. That night he makes her several mixed tapes—and brings her more comic books.
What starts off as a tentative friendship based on shared reading and music tastes gradually becomes something more than either has experienced much less expected. They know all the stories say first-loves don't last. But they're stubborn enough to keep trying. Because neither of them can handle the idea of thinking about the After of their relationship.
Eleanor and Park is Rainbow Rowell's first book for young adults. It breathes fresh air into teenage romance and shatters your expectations of stereotypical characters. Rainbow Rowell proves that it is possible to write very, very good literature for young adults that does not involve magic or take place in a not too distant dystopian future. Her next book Fangirl comes out September 10, but you can put a hold on it today!

BALTIMORE – UMBC women's soccer looks to bounce back from Wednesday's 1-0 overtime loss to Lafayette when it kicks off its 2013 America East slate on Sunday at Maine. Game time is set for noon at Alumni Field, with live stats and video available, free of charge, at www.UMBCRetrievers.com.
The Retrievers' (5-3-2) snapped a three game win streak and a five game unbeaten streak with Wednesday's defeat to the Leopards. Senior goalkeeper Lauren Kadet (Oakville, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas) took over as the program's all-time saves leader, with 342 stops in her career.
The reigning America East Player of the Week Jessy Brown (Plantation, Fla./American Heritage) leads the Retrievers' offensive attack, with three game-winning goals on the year. Junior Lilly Rydon (Stirling, South Australia/Concordia College) has added six points of her own (two goals and two assists), while sophomore Alexa Quaranta (Baltimore, Md./Perry Hall) and the league's current Rookie of the Week Amanda Dailey (Howell, N.H./Freehold Township/Monmouth) have added two goals apiece.
After starting the season with three-straight victories, Maine (3-3-3) is winless in its last six contests, including last Sunday's 1-0 loss to Dartmouth.
Maine has had four players find the back of the net on the season. Sophomore forward Eve L'Abbe and junior midfielder Camille Varin-Tremblay have each registered two goals on the season. L'Abbe also leads the team with 12 shots. Senior back Maggie Malone and junior forward Jordan Pellerin have chipped in a goal and assist apiece.
In net, sophomore Lauren Swant has posted three shutouts on the season and is surrendering 0.71 goals per game, ranking third in the America East.
Inside the Series
-UMBC trails 1-9-1 in the all-time series against Maine, with last season's meeting ending in a 1-1 double overtime draw at Retriever Soccer Park.

In the Pacific Northwest, breweries are about as common as the rain. Yet for some dubious reason, GQ left out both Portland and Seattle in its list of the five best beer cities in the country.
Perhaps the GQers had a bit too much to drink while ranking the cities. Yelp lists 43 breweries near downtown Seattle, while portlandbeer.org has nearly 35 in the Portland area.
If that wasn't enough brewery-related proof, there's even a new beer discovery platform developed in Portland that just launched today. (You were probably just now wondering why we were writing so much about beer).
Taplister helps beer drinkers find craft beers for free and allows bars and breweries to update and promote their beer list. The company, founded in 2009, has been active for three years now and decided to do a little revamping. They've re-launched the iPhone app, done away with Android for now and also partnered with Foursquare.
"With the Brewers Association (BA) reporting that the number of U.S. breweries just hit a 125-year-high, it is evident that craft beer is more popular than ever," said Kerry Finsand, CEO and founder of Taplister. "With so many choices, beer drinkers are demanding an easy way to find their favorite beer on tap near them and the new Taplister delivers. There's no more calling bars for what they have on tap, and no more constant updating of menus for bars and brewpubs with Taplister."
Taplister, which is available nationwide, now offers a Digital Beer Board (shown above) that shows customers what's available at the bar, with extra information like alcohol content, bitterness, price, size and beer ratings made possible through a partnership with RateBeer. Bars can update what's on tap from the web, with options to spread the word on social media and through Taplister's iPhone app.
I had to chuckle at the company's three cleverly-named pricing sets: six pack, case and keg. Cheers to that.

Wyden, Murkowski team on energy
Sens. Ron Wyden and Lisa Murkowski drew applause as they shook hands onstage Thursday — an early step in a partnership that could steer U.S. energy policy in unpredictable ways.
"My friend, I extend my hand because we're going to work together," Murkowski told the Oregon Democrat, who's set to become chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
Story Continued Below
"We're going to set the tone; we're going to set the standard," Murkowski, the committee's ranking Republican, said during a joint interview at a breakfast hosted by CQ Roll Call. "We both recognize there's a lot of pent-up demand out there."
Across town, committee member Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) expressed hope that the panel's new reigning duo will shake up five years of frozen national energy policy.
"I have never been more optimistic than I am right now with Ron Wyden and Lisa Murkowski," Manchin said during an energy policy luncheon hosted by POLITICO.
The last major energy legislation to pass through the Capitol was in 2007, and it's not uncommon for lawmakers to look optimistically toward the next Congress as the one that can break through the logjam.
Even rumors are reflecting the new reality: Murkowski's aides quickly shot down speculation that she was considering endorsing a carbon tax. But she said that's almost par for the course amid heightened expectations that the next Congress will bring more action to the panel.
"I think it is because of the nature of Sen. Wyden's leadership and his style and my desire to work a deal," Murkowski said. "The benefit that we have is we're both kind of coming at this from the approach of let's make some things happen here instead of focusing and getting all twisted around in those areas where we disagree."
Wyden was hopeful in an interview last week. "I'm very upbeat about the prospects of bringing people together just based on the conversations I've had with senators on and off the committee," he said.
Wyden and Murkowski have already gotten started. They met for an hour this month in Portland, Ore., and the two toured Alaska energy sites in August.
Of course, the Senate energy panel, chaired by retiring Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.), is known for its bipartisan spirit. But it still had little success getting things done.
The panel passed its share of legislation, including a Bingaman bill ordering an inventory of available oil and natural gas in federal waters and an energy efficiency proposal that the Senate unanimously approved in September.
Bingaman also broached bipartisan deals with conservatives on bills aimed at designating Manhattan Project sites as national historic parks and preserving stewardship of the Federal Helium Reserve in Texas. He and Murkowski teamed up for a bill promoting production of medical isotopes that the Senate approved last November.
But most of those attempts have fallen victim to the broader dysfunction in Congress. And some grand ideas — addressing the nation's nuclear waste disposal problem, instituting a clean-energy standard or expanding revenue-sharing of oil and gas production for coastal states — failed to gain any traction.

This CPD is sponsored by ACO Building Drainage. It aims to help specifiers gain knowledge allowing them to avoid specification risks associated with drainage elements for corrosion resistant and hygienic applications.
ACO Building Drainage specialises in the development of corrosion resistant drainage systems and building products for applications across the internal and external built environments. Conceived to eliminate design risk, to optimise installation and to minimise lifetime ownership cost, every product in the range delivers exceptional levels of performance, finish and durability.
The technical expertise, global resources and fabrication capacity within ACO Building Drainage also make it possible for architects, engineers and contractors to obtain the highest quality and value the ACO range of products.
Part 1: What is stainless steel?
A steel becomes stainless when at least 11 per cent chromium is added to the iron based alloy.
Stainless steel has now been around for more than 100 years. It was first produced by researchers developing corrosion resistant alloys and used to prevent rusting of gun barrels during the First World War.
Since then its durability and corrosion resistant properties have been widely utilised in engineering applications including aerospace, automobile, petro-chemical, pharmaceutical, medical, scientific, white goods, domestic, cutlery and construction products including drainage systems.
New York's Chrysler building, built in the late 1920s and clad in stainless steel has successfully withstood acid rain and the corrosive city environment for more than 75 years. London's Savoy Hotel's façade is also manufactured from stainless steel and has been standing for a similar length of time.
Part 2: Stainless steel grades
There are over 150 different grades of stainless steel. These are categorised into four core families; ferritic, martensitic, duplex and austenitic. It is the austenitic grade of steel which is used for drainage products and the only family of stainless steels that are non-magnetic.
Magnetic grades of stainless steel are not appropriate for drainage elements as often minute iron particulates can be found in wastewater. If these particulates become magnetic they can be immobilised on to the surface of drainage elements and the following issues may arise:
- Natural galvanic corrosion of the drainage element due to the dissimilar metals in direct contact with each other in an aqueous environment
- Crevices can form adjacent to the particulates where pathogens can grow and multiply, creating cleaning issues for the operator and ultimately a threat to hygiene
Typical alloying content of the different stainless steel families – the balance of which is iron:
|Typical composition (% weight)
|Stainless steel family
|Popular notation
Most building drainage applications use austenitic 304 grade steel, whereas for particularly hostile environments 316 grade may be required. The fundamental difference between grades 304 and 316 stainless steel is the addition of molybdenum of between 2 and 2.5 per cent. The raw material costs for 316 grade stainless steel increases by around 60 per cent compared to 304.
Part 3: Corrosion resistance
Stainless steel is naturally corrosion resistant. This resistance is formed by a thin, but tough chromium-rich oxide film.
Despite the name, stainless steel, can stain and corrode if it is used incorrectly. To avoid corrosion issues, the following will need to be considered:
- Exposure to reducting solutions, such as hydrochloric and sulphuric acids which need careful consideration
- Gasket and seal materials also need to be considered – neoprene and EPDM are generally adequate for most applications, but Viton may be needed for particularly hostile environments
In order to correctly specify the drainage system it is important to establish the cocktail of chemicals which the drainage system will be exposed to; their concentration; the temperature of the solution – this is most important and often forgotten as corrosion rates can dramatically increase as the temperature rises; and the amount of time which the drainage system will be exposed to the chemicals.
Part 4: Stainless steel fabrication and finishing processes
The fabrication process of cutting and forming will introduce impurities such as embedded iron into the surface of the stainless steel. If this is not removed then corrosion of these iron particles can occur causing pitting and rust spots. Additionally, the welding process destroys the all-important chromium-rich oxide film protecting the stainless steel from corrosion around the welded joints rendering the product particularly vulnerable to corrosion.
The full corrosion resistance of the fabricated product can be restored using the pickle passivation process which is a controlled corrosion process using nitric and hydrofluoric acids to remove any embedded iron particulates and restore the passivated layer. Pickle passivation is considered to be the ultimate post-fabrication process, restoring the chromium-rich oxide film to the stainless steel, and allows reliable prediction of corrosion resistance.
Electro polishing can also be used as a finishing process. This is an electrochemical process and is in essence the reverse of electroplating where a small amount of material is removed from the surface of the stainless steel. The resulting finish is a highly polished lustre, not dissimilar to chromium plating in appearance and generally applied for aesthetic purposes.
Part 5: Surface finish and hygienic performance
Stainless steel sheet is generally used for the fabrication of drainage elements.
2B stainless steel material is cold rolled and skin-passed with a light roll to improve the surface finish. The surface finish is key to its hygienic performance. The roughness of the surface ranges from 0.3 to 0.5µm Ra which is smaller than the geometry of Listeria bacteria and therefore allows easily cleaned drainage surfaces.
Listeria can kill humans, and in a survey carried out in 1990, which swabbed 10,000 high risk areas, it was found in 23 per cent of drains tested. Listeria is particularly difficult to control as it survives in a temperature range from -0.5°C to +45°C.
Providing drainage elements with rounded contours and the avoidance of lapped joints significantly improves hygiene performance in the prevention of bacteria traps.
Part 6: Galvanised steel
Galvanised steel can be used for drainage applications however it does have limitations in both corrosion resistant and hygienic applications.
For galvanised steel, zinc is applied to the base material to prevent rusting of the mild steel substrate. Products can be manufactured either from pre-galvanised sheet or by dipping the steel into molten zinc after fabrication to form hot-dipped galvanised steel.
Generally, galvanising is best suited to external storm water drainage applications. Stainless steel is significantly more appropriate for internal drainage use where high corrosion resistance and hygiene requirements are pre-requisites.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is a pretty big phone, in every way. Not only does it sport a massive 5.3-inch HD AMOLED screen, putting it somewhere between the average phone and a small tablet like the Google Nexus 7, but it's also more powerful than Samsung's current flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S3. And now we know exactly when it will be coming to the UK, as Samsung Mobile has released the official Galaxy Note 2 release date for these shores: October 1st.
Yep, on the first of next month, UK shops will be selling the next big smartphone. As we noted in our hands-on Samsung Galaxy Note 2 review/first look, the new handset seems extremely impressive. In fact, the Galaxy Note 2 has the specs to make many other smartphones feel a little inadequate, with a 1.6GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, and the usual niceties like NFC, with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean running the show.
Of course the Note 2's unique feature, and the one it gets its name from, is the pressure-sensitive S-Pen 'stylus' that uses Wacom technology – great for designers, artists, those who prefer handwritten notes, and just general scribbling. Pressure levels have been upgraded from the original Samsung Galaxy Note, and, overall, the experience with using the Galaxy Note 2 should be more akin to that offered by the Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet, which also sports a quad-core CPU and 2GB of RAM. Frankly, we're glad the previously-rumoured release date of the 15th turned out to be a little pessimistic, at least for the UK.
So on the 1st of October we'll have a new flagship in the Samsung smartphone stable "on every major network" according to the press release, but will it be enough to take on the mighty iPhone 5? They're probably aimed at different markets, but both the Note 2 and Apple's new iPhone will represent (however briefly in the former's case) the best that Android and iOS have to offer. However, we'll be sure to let you know soon in our full Samsung Galaxy Note 2 review.

Four Locked In
FORT MYERS, Fla. — For those keeping track at home, Jays manager John Gibbons has now issued two official votes of confidence for relievers this spring. Of course, it's all talk until that final Opening Day roster is announced.
Much like he did a couple weeks ago for RHP Jason Frasor, though, Gibbons declared that LHP Brian Tallet's place in Toronto's bullpen was secure. Counting shoo-ins RHP Jeremy Accardo and LHP Scott Downs, that narrows the race down to three vacant slots.
I say three because, while I'm assuming RHP Brandon League is a lock, especially now that RHP Casey Janssen is done for the year, I won't consider him thus until the Blue Jays say so. I'm also sticking with three because, while LHP B.J. Ryan has stormed back in his attempt to return from an elbow injury in time for Opening Day, I'm not buying it 100 percent that he does in fact break with the team.
So, that's three spots in a seven-man bullpen — both Gibbons and GM J.P. Ricciardi have indicated that's the makeup — up for grabs between Ryan, League, LHP John Parrish, RHP Randy Wells, RHP Brian Wolfe, and RHP Armando Benitez. So let's get right to it.
The Jays have been high on Parrish all spring, even considering him as a starter briefly not long ago. Now, the Jays like him as a long man, or a guy who can come in and go after lefties. Basically, Parrish could help out in case Downs has to pitch more in the eighth on days Accardo fills in as the closer (Gibby insists Ryan won't go back-to-back in the first month).
From talking with Gibbons, if Ryan doesn't make the cut, it almost seems a given that Parrish makes it. If Ryan does, Gibbons said he still likes the idea of having four lefties in the 'pen to help out against the tough lefty hitters in the American League — East especially.
Among the righties, Wolfe hasn't been discussed too much, so I'm not sure how high he is on the list of candidates. Right now, just simply from names being tossed around, I'd say the Jays are leaning more toward League and Wells. Remember, Wells is a Rule 5 pick, and would be likely be lost to the Cubs if he doesn't make the Jays.
There's also Benitez, who Frank Thomas says "is ready! wow!" Thomas' opinion aside, Benitez doesn't have a proper work visa yet and there's no indication about when he might appear in his first Grapefruit League game. That being the case, I just don't know how realistic it is — with less than two weeks left in the spring slate — for him to break with the club.
If the Jays open the year without Ryan in the fold, they could afford to take a chance with Wells, because Wolfe has options and can be sent down. If Ryan is in the bullpen come Opening Day, I don't see how Wells or Wolfe make the cut.
So here's my thoughts on it right now:
Accardo, Downs, Tallet, Frasor, League, Parrish, Wells
Ryan, Accardo, Downs, Tallet, Frasor, League, Parrish
ON ANOTHER NOTE: Gibbons had a great quote about the pregame standoff between the Red Sox players, the MLB Players' Association and MLB. Gibbons said he was actually happy to see players stand up for their coaches — that the minor "strike" could only be beneficial in the long run:
"You don't expect to see that, but I was kind of glad it happened and I was kind of impressed with those guys. Not only are they a very talented team, they've got something special over there. That's a team. They stuck their necks out for the coaching staff — those guys they admire and stand by — and that helps us all. There's only two teams that can get away with that: Boston and New York. That's good to see."

14-4 record for the Devil Rays?! That's an insane record even if it is only spring training.
Cant understand how people dont realize spring training records mean nothing. If anyone watched the game today you would have witnessed how minor league players won the game for the jays…. If the regulars were playing I would find it hard to beleive the jays would have won that game.
Anyways, I definatly think Tallet deserves to pitch, he looked real good today. He keeps the ball low, and has pretty good command.
Are you insane, Wolfe doesn't make the cut?
How does Wolfe not make the cut?
I am not sold on Benitez.However, if he is even close to being ready it might be a good idea to have Parrish and/or Wolfe in the starting rotation at triple A in case of an injury or if Listch struggles early on.They both would make a good #5 with more work and experience.I understand the Wells situation but if he to falters early I would like to see Parrish or Wolfe getting regular work so that either one could step in with the big club when needed.You can bet that they will be counted on sooner or later.
I don't know, i really like Wolfe.
Honestly i don't see what Gibbins sees in Tallet. Yah, he looked ok the other day, but, to me, he really seems like a situational lefty guy. He doesn't have the assortment of different pitches that Downs has and he's the sit lefty.
I like Parrish, he's good, but Wolfe is also really useful, id like to keep both.
I saw Jordan's explanation as to why we might not keep Wells — that he comes in late into the games and only faces minor leaguers — but why is that ? If thats true, it doesn't seem like he's been given a fair chance to compete.
Oh well, I hope Beej is on the 40 day DL and comes back when we know he's good to go. It's not like Accardo can't handle the save opp in the first month back when hitters usually are off.

Dates that Affected Development of the Hebrew Bible — a.k.a. the Old Testament
The Hebrew Bible and Old Testament are the same group of writings, although Jews prefer the term Hebrew Bible. These biblical writings are much older than the Christian New Testament writings. These dates represent important events that influenced how scripture (religiously important reference writings) led to the collection of works known as the Hebrew Bible.
450 BCE: Approximate year when Ezra the Scribe/Priest visits Jerusalem from Eastern portions of the Persian Empire and brings with him the "Scrolls of the Law" and teaches the people from them. This is the oldest reference to important religious writings in Jewish tradition (see Nehemiah 8).
333 BCE: Alexander the Great conquers the ancient Near East.
300–200 BCE: A large Jewish community develops in Alexandria, Egypt. Jewish religious writings begin to be translated into Greek, eventually producing the biblical Greek translations known as the Septuagint, which continue to expand until the first century BCE. Christians later use the Greek version for their Old Testament.
200–100 BCE: The oldest of the Dead Sea Scrolls is written (according to historians' best guess).
200–180 BCE: The book of Sirach (49:8–10) refers to "Twelve Prophets," suggesting an early collection of the 12 "minor" (that is, shorter) Prophets that are now part of the Hebrew Bible.
20 BCE–50 CE: Philo of Alexandria makes one of the earliest references to the three-part division of Hebrew Scriptures into Law, Prophets, and Writings/Poetry. Although specific books aren't listed, an agreed-upon list is clearly emerging.
4 BCE–around 32 CE: In Luke 11:48–51, Jesus may be implying that there's an emerging Hebrew "collection" of scriptures when he refers to martyrs from Abel to Zechariah, suggesting Genesis through 2 Chronicles.
70–90 CE: Rabbi Yochanon Ben Zakkai, an important first-century CE Jewish leader, gathers a group of teachers in Jamnia (on the coast of Palestine). They may have discussed approved Hebrew scriptures, but there's no indication that a list is settled at this time because debates continue among scholars in later Jewish writings.
70–90 CE: The ancient Jewish historian Josephus refers to the three-part division of the Hebrew Bible and refers to 22 books without listing them.
Around 100 CE: The book of 4 Ezra makes reference to 24 books of the Hebrew Bible without listing them.
Around 200 CE: The Jewish Talmud (Baba Bathra 14–15) finally provides a list of books, making it the earliest list of what emerges as the Old Testament for Protestants and the Hebrew Bible for Jews (same books, different order).

Jason Witten had nearly as many drops as catches through three games, back when his side still hurt just about every time he moved because of a lacerated spleen.
The Dallas Cowboys tight end dismissed the suggestion that the injury had anything to do with an uncharacteristic case of stone hands. The seven-time Pro Bowler didn't really even want to say how long it took to feel normal again after injuring the spleen in a preseason game.
Dallas coach Jason Garrett puts it somewhere around a month into the season. That's about when Witten started a career-best stretch that has him six catches from breaking Tony Gonzalez's tight end record of 102 in a season.
Witten could get it Sunday at home against New Orleans (6-8).

Due to a death in my wife's family, I now own a 98 Tracker with 69k miles. Being from the jeep world, I don't know much about them so figured I ask some questions here.
My father in law has expressed interest in using it around his farm. He plans to use it to pull a sprayer around the fields, he estimates the weight the the sprayer and liquid to be around 3000 lbs. The tracker has an auto trans. Will the Tracker stand up for that kind of work?
I might build it for some trail fun when it's not working on the farm.
Any thoughts or info is appreciated.

The Supreme Court released two major decisions expanding gay rights across the country on Wednesday as hordes of cheering demonstrators greeted the news outside. The justices struck down a federal law barring the recognition of same-sex marriage in a split decision, ruling that the law violates the rights of gays and lesbians and intrudes into states' rights to define and regulate marriage. The court also dismissed a case involving California's gay marriage ban, ruling that supporters of the ban did not have the legal standing, or right, to appeal a lower court's decision striking down Proposition 8 as discriminatory.
The decision clears the way for gay marriage to again be legal in the nation's most populous state, even though the justices did not address the broader legal argument that gay people have a fundamental right to marriage.
The twin decisions throw the fight over gay marriage back to the states, because the court ruled the federal government must recognize the unions if states sanction them, but did not curtail states' rights to ban gay marriage if they choose.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, the court's conservative-leaning swing vote with a legal history of supporting gay rights, joined his liberal colleagues in the DOMA decision, which will dramatically expand the rights of married gay couples in the country to access more than 1,000 federal benefits and responsibilities of marriage previously denied them.
"The avowed purpose and practical effect of the law here in question are to impose a disadvantage, a separate status, and so a stigma upon all who enter into same-sex marriages made lawful by the unquestioned authority of the States," Kennedy wrote of DOMA. He concluded that states must be allowed by the federal government to confer "dignity" on same-sex couples if they choose to legalize gay marriage. DOMA "undermines" same-sex marriages in visible ways and "tells those couples, and all the world, that their otherwise valid marriages are unworthy of federal recognition."
Eighty-three-year-old New Yorker Edith Windsor brought the DOMA suit after she was made to pay more than $363,000 in estate taxes when her same-sex spouse died. If the federal government had recognized her marriage, Windsor would not have owed the sum. She argued that the government has no rational reason to exclude her marriage (she and her late partner, Thea Spyer, had been married since 2007, and together for more than four decades) from the benefits and obligations other married couples receive.
DOMA, which was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996, prevented the government from granting marriage benefits in more than 1,000 federal statutes to same-sex married couples in the 12 states and District of Columbia that allow gay marriage. Clinton, who disavowed the law earlier this year, released a statement congratulating Windsor on her victory. Attorney General Eric Holder said the Justice Department would "work expeditiously" to implement the decision, and called it a "triumph for equal protection under the law for all Americans."
With this decision, Kennedy furthers his reputation as a defender of gay rights from the bench. He wrote two of the most important Supreme Court decisions involving, and ultimately affirming, gay rights: Lawrence v. Texas (2003) and Romer v. Evans (1996). In Romer, Kennedy struck down Colorado's constitutional amendment banning localities from passing anti-discrimination laws protecting gays and lesbians. In Lawrence, Kennedy invalidated state anti-sodomy laws, ruling that gay people have a right to engage in sexual behavior in their own homes free from the fear of punishment.
Legal experts said the DOMA decision lays the foundation for a future Supreme Court ruling that could find a broader right for same-sex couples to marry.
The decisions mark the first time the highest court has waded into the issue of same-sex marriage. Just 40 years ago, the Supreme Court tersely refused to hear a case brought by a gay couple who wanted to get married in Minnesota, writing that their claim raised no significant legal issue. At the time, legal opinions often treated homosexuality as criminal, sexually deviant behavior rather than involuntary sexual orientation.
Since then, public opinion has changed dramatically on gay people and same-sex marriage, with a majority of Americans only just recently saying they support gay unions. Now, 12 states representing about 18 percent of the U.S. population allow same-sex marriage. With California, the percentage of people living in gay marriage states shoots up to 30.
With the Proposition 8 decision, the Supreme Court refused to wade into the constitutional issues surrounding the California gay marriage case, dismissing the Proposition 8 argument on procedural grounds. The legal dodge means a lower court's ruling making same-sex marriage legal in California will most likely stand, opening the door to marriage to gays and lesbians in the country's most populous state without directly ruling on whether gay people have a constitutional right to marriage.
California voters passed Proposition 8 to ban same-sex marriage in 2008, after 18,000 same-sex couples had already tied the knot under a state Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage. A same-sex married couple with children, Kris Perry and Sandy Stier, sued the state of California when their 6-month-old marriage was invalidated by the ballot initiative. They argued that Proposition 8 discriminated against them and their union based only on their sexual orientation, and that the state had no rational reason for denying them the right to marry. Two lower courts ruled in their favor, and then-California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced he would no longer defend Proposition 8 in court, leaving a coalition of Proposition 8 supporters led by a former state legislator to take up its defense.
Chief Justice John Roberts joined with Antonin Scalia, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan to rule the defenders of Proposition 8 did not have the standing to defend the ban in court. The unlikely coalition of liberals and conservatives argued that the Proposition 8 supporters could not prove they were directly injured by the lower court's decision to overturn the ban and allow gay people to marry.
Same-sex marriage will most likely not be immediately legal in California, because the Ninth Circuit has several weeks to confirm the court's decision. California officials have asked county clerks offices to prepare to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples as soon as the decision is confirmed.
The Proposition 8 case was argued by two high-profile lawyers, Ted Olson and David Boies, who previously faced off against each other in Bush v. Gore. Olson, a conservative and Bush's former solicitor general, and Boies, a liberal, have cast gay marriage as the civil rights issue of our time.
Boies said on the steps of the Supreme Court on Wednesday that the court had shown gay marriage does not harm society. "Today the United States Supreme Court said as much," Boies said. "They cannot point to anything that harms them because these two love each other."
President Barack Obama also reportedly called Chad Griffin, the president of the Human Rights Campaign gay rights group, to congratulate him on the legal victory. "We're proud of you guys, and we're proud to have this in California," the president said, according to audio on MSNBC.
"The laws of our land are catching up to the fundamental truth that millions of Americans hold in our hearts: When all Americans are treated as equal, no matter who they are or whom they love, we are all more free," the president said in a statement.
Olson made the argument that gay marriage should be a conservative cause in a recent interview with NPR. "If you are a conservative, how could you be against a relationship in which people who love one another want to publicly state their vows ... and engage in a household in which they are committed to one another and become part of the community and accepted like other people?" he asked.
The Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group, a coalition of mostly Republican House lawmakers, defended DOMA after the Obama administration announced it believed the law was unconstitutional in 2011. (Roberts criticized the president for this move during oral arguments in the case, saying the president lacked "the courage of his convictions" in continuing to enforce the law but no longer defending it in court.)
"While I am obviously disappointed in the ruling, it is always critical that we protect our system of checks and balances," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said in a statement. "A robust national debate over marriage will continue in the public square, and it is my hope that states will define marriage as the union between one man and one woman."
Faith and Freedom Coalition Chairman Ralph Reed said in a statement that his political advocacy group would push for federal legislation to try to restore DOMA. He called the decision "an Orwellian act of judicial fiat."

The Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research established the Institutional Development Grant (IDG) program in 2008. The IDG is intended to strengthen (or to support the development of) anthropological doctoral programs in countries where the discipline is underrepresented. The grant provides $25,000 per year, is renewable for a maximum of five years (total support of $125,000), and may be used for any purpose to achieve the academic development goals of the applicant department. A minimum of one new award will be made each year and priority will be given to those applicant departments which have arranged strong partnership arrangements with other anthropological institutions that can help them achieve their development goals.
Since the program's inauguration, five institutions have received IDG grants located in Nepal, Mongolia, Argentina, The Philippines and Vietnam. All departments have created an innovative five-year plan developing initiatives in staff, student, and program development, among other things. Details of the these Institutional Development Grants can be found in the Grantees section of the Wenner-Gren website as well as in the Foundation's annual reports at: www.wennergren.org/grantees
The grant has a two-stage application process; a preliminary inquiry followed by a full application. The deadline for the mandatory preliminary inquiry is May 15, 2012 and this must be submitted on the preliminary inquiry form which can be downloaded from the website. The deadline for those applicants invited to submit a full application is September 15, 2011. Awards will be announced in November 2012 for programs beginning in January 2013. Full information about the program can also be found on the Foundation's website. Further inquiries about the program can be directed to development(at)wennergren.org.

JGE 1992 - Volume 40
NovemberDelphi Study on Barriers to Environmental Education
Haydn Algardi Fox, Jr., Clemson University
John R. Carpenter, University of South Carolina
Full Text (Acrobat (PDF) 7.7MB Jun16 09)
A "Delphi Study" was conducted in which a panel of 23 experts in the field of environmental or science education were asked to list the barriers to environmental education in the elementary grades of public schools. Their responses were condensed into 12 categories. The panelists were again contacted an asked to rank-order by importance the 12 types of barriers. By far, the number one barrier was seen to be a lack of teacher knowledge in the areas of both environmental and science education. Because it affects both teachers and administrators, the education barrier is closely tied to many of the other barriers, including logistical and attitudinal barriers. The solution to the problems may be to make environmental education and integral part of preservice teacher education so that both future teachers and future administrators become more aware of the importance of environmental education in our public school systems Additionally, massive efforts should be conducted to educate administrators and in-service teachers about environmental education.

Met seeks ticket crime crackdown
The Metropolitan Police has called for regulation or potential new laws to combat ticket crime - including fraud, counterfeiting and touting - in a new report.
Apart from the resale of football tickets, reselling tickets is not illegal, but the force has called for a clampdown on ticket crime after tackling it during London 2012.
Ticket fraud alone costs around £40 million a year, the Met said.
In the report, the force called for a transparent ticketing market underpinned by either regulation, legislation, or both, to help people understand who they are buying from and therefore better protect themselves against ticket crime.
The report also called for victims of ticket crime to report suspected offences to the authorities and agencies such as Action Fraud. That will allow the police and other authorities to gain a more accurate picture of the scale of ticket crime and then take action to stop it.
The Met also said the ticketing industry needs to build relationships with search engine companies, website hosts and registrars and the payments sector to help tackle ticket crime. The force also wants to make it easier to suspend fraudulent websites.
During Operation Podium, the Met worked on tackling economic crime around London 2012 and has published this report - Ticket Crime: Problem Profile - as a result of learning from that experience.
Detective Superintendent Nick Downing, who leads Operation Podium, said: "Experience shows that fraud is the most prevalent form of ticket crime and causes the greatest harm - conservatively estimated at £40 million per year. Criminals involved in this are also highly likely to be involved in other crimes.
"We also know that it is extremely under reported, and there is a lack of public awareness and understanding which means that people find it difficult to distinguish between an authorised, unauthorised or fraudulent websites. For these reasons it is important that ticket crime is properly tackled and the awareness is raised on how the public can take steps to protect themselves from becoming a victim of these crimes."
Jonathan Brown, on behalf of the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers (STAR) and its members said: "This industry has never before benefited from such concentrated work to help uncover criminality and fraud which continue to cause detriment to the ticket buying public. We are grateful for the support from Operation Podium during the launch of STAR's kite mark for identifying authorised ticket sellers in 2011."

You are just finishing up some work in a branch circuit panel when a strong chemical smell hits. What should you do? A strong smell means there's some kind of leak or spill. Any time there's a leak or a spill, leave the area immediately.
- Wait to see if it gets worse; your ability to smell it will weaken with time.
- Put things away; time might run out before you're done.
- Try to locate the source of the smell. Maybe there's a valve you can close, but how do you know you won't be overcome by fumes before you get there?
The logic of airline safety announcements applies here. Help yourself first so that you can help others. That means leave. On your way out, warn others that there's a spill and they need to leave the area — but don't stop walking while you're talking.
After you reach safety, report the problem to the first supervisor you can find. Then report to your own supervisor.

Colorado Public Radio is one of 15 public radio organizations that will contribute to NPR's "Here & Now," which replaces "Talk of the Nation" beginning Monday. NPR announced the cancellation of "TOTN" in March after 20 years on the air. The idea is to allow NPR to cover breaking news between "Morning Edition" and "All Things Considered" where previously it had no outlet to do so.
The new show will air Monday-Thursday, noon-2 p.m. on CPR; "Science Friday" with Ira Flatow continues on Fridays.
CPR staffers have contributed to NPR programs for years but this formalizes the arrangement via "Here & Now," a production of WBUR in Boston, which expands to two hours. Robin Young, the longtime host of "Here & Now," will now co-anchor with Jeremy Hobson, previously of "Marketplace Morning Report."
Per the CPR release: the local news operation will contribute "Colorado stories and sources for interviews, in addition to offering occasional reporter debriefs. CPR will also contribute to special segments, including business and technology."

If you're flying into William P. Hobby Airport, the domestic airport in Houston, then check out Southwest Airlines as a first port of call. This airport is one of their largest hubs, and you can usually find a bargain flight to Houston with them.
Getting to Houston from either airport is simple. From George Bush Intercontinental Airport, you can hire a rental car from 9 companies at the arrivals hall, you can take a taxi, which should cost roughly $50 to get downtown, the SuperShuttle is an affordable yet slow option to get to your hotel, and the public METRO buses run direct from the airport to downtown.
From William P. Hobby Airport, you'll have a much quicker journey. Taxis are available from Curb Zone 3 outside the baggage claim and cost roughly $25 to get downtown. You can also hire a rental car, or take the SuperShuttle or the public METRO buses.
The cheapest time of year to fly into Houston is during summer. Most visitors try to avoid the hot, wet summer months and opt to travel during the cooler winter months instead, making summer flights much cheaper in price. For a less humid time of year while still saving money, opt to travel during spring and fall. Remember that fall is Hurricane Season so keep an eye on the weather reports if you've booked a flight for then.
If possible, try to avoid flying during baseball season. Houston is a large sports town, home of the Major League Baseball team the Houston Astros, and prices jump around game time.
Deciding which airport to fly into depends on what will suit you best. George Bush Intercontinental airport is 23 miles north of downtown Houston, but William P. Hobby Airport is only seven miles south of downtown. If you're looking for the least amount of hassle and travel time, and will be flying domestically William P. Hobby Airport will be your best bet. If you're flying internationally, or you're on a tight budget then George Bush Intercontinental Airport is the best option for you. With so many flights passing through the airport each day, prices are generall cheaper.
Visitors can remove the frustrating hour-long wait in a customs line at George Bush Intercontinental Airport. It's one of just 20 airports in the United States to have a Global Entry kiosk -- it can turn that hour-long wait into just 40 seconds. In terms of customer satisfaction, George Bush Intercontinental Airport wins again. In 2008, it ranked fourth for customer satisfaction in North American airports in a study run by J.D. Power and Associates, as well as being voted the fourth best airport in the country by Global Traveler magazine.
Houston has plenty of events running throughout the year, appealing to visitors of all genders, nationalities and ages. Two of the biggest conventions in Houston are the Offshore Technology Conference in May, and the Houston International Quilt Festival at the end of October, the latter involving 50,000 people flying into town to discuss the finer aspects of quilting.
During the winter, many travelers visit the city to gaze at the Christmas celebrations. Go ice skating at the ice rink at the Galleria by the enormous Christmas tree. Thanksgiving is a large celebration too, with a thrilling parade, performances and fireworks.
