Home > Fitness & Health > Health Library > Egocentric and Magical Thinking
Egocentric thinking is the normal tendency for a young child to see everything that happens as it relates to him- or herself. This is not selfishness. Young children are unable to understand different points of view. For example, a preschool child might sympathize with his or her father and try to comfort him by offering a favorite toy or stuffed animal, reasoning that what helps the child feel better will also comfort the adult. Egocentric thinking also can cause a young child to feel responsible if something bad happens.
Magical thinking is a child's belief that what he or she wishes or expects can affect what really happens. For example, if a child wants very much for something to happen, and it does, the child believes he or she caused it to happen. If your daughter is mad at her brother and wants him to leave, and he then gets sick and goes to the hospital, your daughter may think her brother's illness is her fault.

Bruce Ajari: Water issues arise at Lake Almanor
Gone Fishin'
As everyone is well aware, water is becoming a highly sought-after commodity. It is crucial to our local fisheries. With Lake Tahoe soon to drop below its natural rim for a second time, we all know what the Truckee River is looking like these days.
A recent trip north to Lake Almanor exposed me to a huge water issue that the local community is facing up there.
As part of a damand#8217;s Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) relicensing plan for Lake Almanor, the State Water Quality Control Board is requiring consideration for lowering the temperature of the North Fork of the Feather River about 40 miles downstream between Rock Creek and Cresta dams.
A water temperature of 68 degrees (20 degrees Celsius) is being sought during the summer months as part of the plan. This is to enhance water temperatures for trout.
Installing a thermal curtain in Lake Almanor and additional ones in Butt Valley Reservoir is apparently the recommended approach for achieving this temperature decline by removing water from the lakeand#8217;s bottom.
The concern is that the thermal curtain would remove a considerable amount of the coldest water in both lakes. The Save Lake Almanor citizens groups estimates that this cold water diversion could be as high as 40 percent of the entire cold-water layer (hypolimnion) in the lake.
The most effective thermal curtain configuration is U-shaped, 900-feet-by-770-feet-by-900-feet. The most effective elevation of the curtain bottom is 4,455 feet (USGS datum). This configuration (without dredging of the Prattville Intake area) provides about 4.4 degrees Celsius and 3.6 degrees Celsius water temperature reduction at the Butt Valley PH during July and August, respectively, at its normal operating discharge of 1,600 cubic feet per second.
The Save Lake Almanor committee feels that this cold water removal could increase algae blooms and dramatically impact the existing Lake Almanor trout fishery. They also feel that the dredging could disturb ancient Indian (Maidu) burial sites.
It is certainly a battle that bears close watching to see what the State Water Quality Control Board does with this plan. You can view just what is going on with this project at http://www.savelakealmanor.org. The information on the project itself can be viewed at nsrprojects.com.
The fishery at Lake Almanor is a great one by all accounts, and risking that for a plan to create habitat that does not presently exist seems quite a risk to take, particularly if you are in the impacted communities around Lake Almanor.
We have seen how much a local economy can suffer with the chemical treatments of Davis Lake in the Portola area. A repeat of this in the Almanor area would be catastrophic. The communities depend on this fishery.

How New York's Fire Department Uses Data Mining
New York City has about a million buildings, and each year 3,000 of them erupt in a major fire. Can officials predict which ones will go up in flames?
The New York City Fire Department thinks it can use data mining to do that. Analysts at the department say that some buildings are linked to characteristics that make them more likely to have a fire than others.
Poverty, for one.

FILLER Brodie Optometry strives to ensure you have the clearest vision possible. Therefore, Dr. Brodie will measure how each eye is seeing by using the latest and most advanced technology to provide a vision acuity test and by testing eye functionality. The results of the acuity test give him a fraction, with 20/20 being the standard for normal visual acuity. The eye function tests evaluate depth perception, color vision, eye muscle capabilities, peripheral vision and responsiveness to light. The results of these tests may determine you need corrective glasses, contacts or vision therapy. Dr. Brodie will prescribe and recommend only the best option(s) for you.
Dr McKinch was great!! The staff was extremely helpful in picking out my new glasses! Wonderful experience overall!!~ Terri Kosek Himmel
Went to Dr. Brodie in Perrysburg: Appointment was on time, his staff is very knowledgeable, and very nice. I was impressed with my visit. Dr. Brodie was awesome. I went on Tuesday and by Thursday my glasses were ready to pick up. Thank you Dr. Brodie and staff.~ Fred Vincent
I took both of my children ages 7 and 9. They had never been to an eye doctor before other than screenings at school. The staff and doctor were wonderful. They explained everything they were doing to them and eased there minds. They were afraid when we first came but left with smiles on there faces and were excited to get their new glasses. Would highly recommend Dr Brodie's office.~ Kitty Kovalik
I have been going to Dr. Brodie for many years and I am never disappointed. He is very personable and is patient with my daughter when checking her eyes. I love the selection of frames also. I live almost on the Michigan border and have no problem driving to Perrysburg for eye appointments.~ Emily Eldred
Dr Brodie is the ultimate, he allows me to relax and sit back while he sees the issue and addresses it with ideas and solutions no other Dr has offered. Great guy too! Rachel is the very BEST….she will help you find YOUR perfect pair to fit your style.
The staff is friendly the eye exam is very detailed. Wait time the last few times I have been there has been a bit long, but that's what happens when you are waiting for a good eye exam. I have been to other places and they have been awful mostly in the box stores. Literally 5 minute eye exams in and out.
Dr Brodie is the best. He has all of the special equipment to make evaluations and treat his patients His staff is knowledgeable, considerate and friendly. It doesn't get much better than that. Thank you very much for taking good care of Deb and I we appreciate you very much.
Very professional, very clean, great aesthetic, friendly, and concise! They were very busy, but had people moving along. I had to exercise a little patience, unlike most people being capable of such a discipline anymore…
I attribute the wait to a business that is known for doing good business – treating people right, doing their job right, and maintaining their status in their industry.
Brodie Optometry is excellent.
Starting this (Sensory Learning Program) I wasn't sure what the outcome would be. To me "J" never had a big disability or problem, but something just wasn't right and we never knew what it was. His eyes have made great improvements with tracking and he tells us how much easier it is for him to sound out words and blend them together. We notice little changes but more important, how he feels has made it all worth it! That he feels different and better makes my heart happy!~ J's Mom
I was having a hard time wearing glasses while playing baseball. Dr. Brodie fit me with contacts and now I am hitting the ball out of the park. Thanks Dr. Brodie!~ Colin

The Kearney Site Today
"I am very proud of the state and county that have been my home for thirty-five years. . . .Kearney avenue and Kearney park will be living things of beauty centuries hence that will keep my name and memory green. . . ."
M. Theo Kearney, Fresno Morning Republican, January 1904
What remains of the estate and ranch of M. Theo Kearney is now one of the Fresno County's most important agricultural historic sites and includes:
- 11-mile long Kearney Boulevard
- 225-acre Kearney Park
- Five original structures: Superintendent's Lodge, Servants' Quarters, Carriage House, Ice House, and Tea House.
The site lends itself to telling the story of the colony farm system and the development of the raisin industry. The story of the development of agribusiness in California's San Joaquin Valley and the Valley's transformation into the most productive agricultural region in the world can also be explored at the site of the Kearney estate.
The Fresno Historical Society's relationship with the site began in 1962, twelve years after the County of Fresno began operating the Kearney estate grounds as a public park. In July 1962, the Society's President, Edwin Eaton, announced that the organization would begin partnering with Fresno County to care for the Kearney site. Specifically, the Society would take on the administration of the Kearney Superintendent's Lodge as a historic site museum, known as Kearney Mansion Museum, as well as assume responsibility for the Servants' Quarters, Carriage House and Ice House.
The first years of administration saw the Society establish its headquarters in the Servants' Quarters and begin the work of restoring the Superintendent's Lodge to reflect the Kearney era. M. Theo Kearney inhabited the Lodge from its completion in 1903 until his death in 1906, and by 1962 many of the original artifacts from the house were missing. Thanks to the generosity of many, a significant number of the original pieces that Kearney purchased for the Lodge were located in the 1960s and today the site features over 70% of its original furnishings and décor. By the late 1960s, the museum's school education program was established and the first public events were being staged.
During the next two decades, the Historical Society partnered with the County of Fresno on two major State-funded preservation grants that transformed the Lodge. An exterior restoration project accomplished structural repairs and returned the building's exterior to its original light gray color. In the mid-1980s work commenced on interior spaces of the Lodge and included replicating three wallpapers and conserving original ones, restoring all painted surfaces to their original finishes, as well as replicating the main carpet in the house, the Entry Hall's grape cluster chandelier globes, and the Jacobean Quatrefoil anaglypta ceiling. When the official ceremonies to reopen the museum were held in March, 1986, reproduction carpets in the Reception and Dining Rooms funded by the Society's La Paloma Guild also made their debut.
Other significant projects were completed through the 1990s. Again, State monies received through Fresno County funded the installation of a temperature control system in the Servant's Quarters and the Superintendent's Lodge. In addition, the Historical Society took on the refurbishing of the Carriage House which included restoring the exterior and renovating the interior into a multi-purpose education center. This project was completed through the generosity of Valley families and community businesses.
Over the last ten years, funding received through the Fresno County Community Block Grant program enabled new roofs to be installed on the Superintendent's Lodge, the Servants' Quarters and the Ice House. The restoration of the Ice House also included the reconstruction of its north adobe wall to stabilize the structure. In 2003, the Superintendent's Lodge celebrated its centennial and as part of the year-long celebration, Sun-Maid Growers of California sponsored the publication of a 12-page magazine which highlights the history of "M. Theo Kearney and the History of the California Raisin." The centennial year also included a research project that focused on gathering the stories of people who lived and worked on the ranch during the University of California period.
Today, the Kearney historic site continues to provide a unique venue for interpreting and sharing Central California's agricultural history and the story of the Raisin King, M. Theo Kearney. Currently, the Fresno Historical Society is making plans to convert the historic house to museum-style exhibits with descriptive panels and photographs.

I have to admit my surprise to you. A few weeks ago, while hosting our last HealthTalk MS webcast, I nearly fell from my chair in the broadcast booth.
I suspect you can all understand the amount of work, by several dedicated people, that goes into one of these programs. I may be the voice you hear, but there are engineers, producers, doctors, lawyers, transcriptionists that all make one of these webcasts happen; the list is pretty phenomenal. As example, the script I write for my portion of the show has to be completed two weeks in advance so it can be reviewed by a slew of professionals.
Don't worry; I'm getting to the surprise…
At the time I submitted my script for last month's program, our "celebrity guest" with MS was not yet nailed down. I just left a place marker in that spot and sent in my work. Since very few changes were made, I didn't bother with a fine-toothed comb review. Thus, leading to my elated shock.
The program was running a little bit long and I had to rush through the last page of monologue to hit our time. At the very end of a show, you'll remember that I "plug" the upcoming webcast. There I was, rushing to hit a mark and there it was "…when my guest will be writer/comedian Jonathan Katz".
WHAT?!?!?! I get to interview Dr Katz???!!!
Now, for those of you who don't know him, Jonathan Katz is not a medical doctor. He is the creator and star of one of (in my opinion, and that of numerous critics) the best animated series ever on television, "Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist." (He won Comedy Central's first ever Emmy award). Mr Katz is also a prolific writer, actor (in films like Daddy Daycare and State and Main) producer, musician and stand-up comic (with numerous appearances on the Tonight Show). Jonathan Katz also happens to have multiple sclerosis.
I met Mr. Katz for the first time at the national conference of the National MS Society a few years back. He was being presented the Society's occasional award for comedy (previous winners were Richard Prior and David Lander; the latter presenting the award).
Mr. Katz uses a motorized scooter to get around much of the time now and used his, hot rod fashion, to race up the stage ramp, across the stage, and back down an opposing ramp. The crowd broke up!
Mr. Katz (I'll admit that I'm sure to call him "Dr." Katz by mistake at least once during the show) uses his comedy to cope with his disease. I know that most of us who take the occasional gander at the Life with MS blog fall back upon the same thought. I oft say, "If I didn't laugh, I'd cry"
I know it's a little bit earlier than I usually plug my MS Webcasts, I just want to make sure everyone knows how much fun this one is going to be. Register for the MS Webcast called, Comedian Jonathan Katz and His life with MS, and as always, you'll have a chance to ask your own questions of my guest and find out how he lives with our disease.
In researching Mr. Katz, I've listened to several interviews and I'll admit I'm a little intimidated. This guy is really quick on his feet; and that's saying something for a guy with MS! I've written a script for the show but, honestly, I think this one will end up hardly used. It's going to be an hour long laugh fest and I can't wait!
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

The process consists of the following steps:
Step 1 consists in generating the XML bsaed raw data for the report. RawXMLData
Step 2 consists in merging this raw data with a XSL-FO template to give it the presentation information. XSL-FO acts as an intermediate language used to render the final reportin any format with a last transformation. XSL-FO
Step 3 consists on rendering the XSL-FO representtion (the intermediate language) of the report to the desired output fromat. FinalReport
To help the report developer to generate the XSLFO representation of the report I found Word2FO stylesheets from RenderX very useful, but they generated a static XSLFO with the look and feel of the original wordML document. I hacked it so it generate a XSLT stylesheet that consumes a data XML, this stylesheet is used in the report generation process. With this generated XSLT, hand work is reduced to thee minimum. But Word2FO is not bundled, you need to download it and apply the patch located along with the tutorial in: Docs

Viking boys capture South Shore win
By Becky Regan
ZEPHYR COVE, Nev. – On paper, a South Tahoe versus Whittell contest looks like it would be close.
South Tahoe lost to Incline by three earlier this year, and Whittell lost to Incline by one. South Tahoe lost to Sparks by 11, and Whittell lost to Sparks by 10, and so on. But on court, the Warriors just don't match up well against the larger Vikings.
The Vikings used their size, bench depth and pressure defense to beat the Warriors 62-36 in front of a packed crowd at Whittell High School on Saturday.
"It's strange how in individual games it always come down to matchups," said Whittell coach Phill Bryant. "On paper we should be close, but we absolutely do not match up with them. The way they play and their size really make a difference when they play us."
The game started out close enough.
The Vikings spread their points around, and capped the first quarter with a 3-pointer from Brandon Cramer.
Whittell was right there with an opening 3-pointer from Austin Neil and back-to-back layups from sophomore Bryce Bronken.
After two lead swaps, South Tahoe held a 12-11 lead going into the second quarter.
The next two quarters, however, were a different story.
The Vikings outscored the Warriors 18-6 and then 21-2 in the second and third quarters. Cramer and Kyante Wilson put up block-after-block on Whittell, and South Tahoe headed into halftime riding an eight-point unanswered run.
The Vikings extended that unanswered point run with another 19 points in the third quarter. Jason Rogers, Hayden Bronken and Jared Fajman couldn't miss. Fajman tossed in back-to-back 3-pointers, and combined the three boys accounted for 15 of the Vikings' 19 points that quarter.
By the fourth, South Tahoe had a 51-19 lead and both teams started pulling their starters.
"It was senior night and I know they wanted to go out big at home. The reality was that we were down by 30, and we have a playoff game the next week," Bryant said. "(Garrett Bronken) was out there working hard, but down by 30 isn't the type of game you leave an important player in."
Whittell had three freshmen and two sophomores on the court in the fourth quarter, and they gave a promising look at at the Warriors' future.
Freshmen Colin Bucholz and Palmer Chaplin both dropped 3's and junior Mark Waite added one to the Warriors' 17-point fourth quarter.
South Tahoe also had both its juniors on the court.
Fajman, who has gotten substantial playing time this season, showed his experience Saturday. He led the Vikings with 12 points, and went 2-for-3 from 3-point range.
Junior Dakoda Baca picked up most of his six points in the fourth quarter.
"To get those guys to come in and execute, that's a good sign," said South Tahoe coach Chris Proctor.
UP NEXT: Whittell heads to Elko for Round 1 of playoffs against ROP on Thursday.
South Tahoe 12 18 21 11 – 62
Whittell 11 6 2 17 – 36

Summit Up 1-15-13: Where our cars shiver from the cold
Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that's pushing our car down the side of the road as our toes and fingers freeze.
It's been a chilly couple of days here in Summit County and the ones that really seem the worse for it aren't the plants, animals or children, but our cars.
We ran out early this morning to get the old Subaru started and pre-warmed and toasty for the drive to work. Sitting in the driver's seat, breath frosting, our gloved hands clumsily slipped the key in the ignition and turned. Chug-chug. Silence. Chug-chug. Nope, it just wasn't meant to be. Old Jack Frost and the engine were too cozy and didn't want to be turned out of bed, even though we explained that it was imperative we get to the office and write this Summit Up column, beloved by its loyal crew of Millions of Summit Up readers, to warm their hearts as coffee or tea warmed their stomachs. Instead, we ended up warming the hearts of local mechanics as we joined the line of supplicants marching up to the garage in need of their expertise. Thanks guys, we appreciate it! We out.

Facebook to Introduce 'Lifesaving' Feature Tuesday
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is scheduled to appear on ABC's Good Morning America on Tuesday to introduce a feature that "could save lives."
The program teased the segment by noting that Zuckerberg "doesn't do much TV" and then asked, "So why is he inviting [GMA news anchor] Robin Roberts to Facebook's headquarters? What does he want to share that could save lives?"
Facebook reps could not be reached for comment on the announcement. The social networking giant has introduced tools of late that could be described along the same lines. In December, Facebook launched a program called "Lifeline" that let friends alert the company when their friends express suicidal thoughts. In that case, Facebook sends an email to the comment's author directing them to a telephone hotline or a link they can click to start a confidential chat.
The company also introduced a suite of tools last March aimed a cracking down on cyberbullying.
In addition to Zuckerberg's appearance, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg is also scheduled to appear on GMA for an interview with Diane Sawyer to "discuss the personal stories that led to this new initiative and its goals," according to ABC.
What do you think Facebook is going to introduce? Let us know in the comments.

Well, if you look to the CDC's recent release of their seven-year long project, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, then there's not much to worry about. On average, only 1 to 10% of those tested were nutritionally deficient in any given vitamin or mineral.
But how can you know? How do you know if you get enough folate or omega-3 fatty acids? And how much does your food contain, anyways? Do we need vitamin and mineral supplements? To summarize my answer to these and many more questions, please take a few minutes and view this highly informative, engaging and inspirational video by Dr. Terry Walhs MD.

After her solid win over a craptastic Gools (STILL NOT OVER IT), MaKiri dished on the Lena D's wedding extravaganza. It was hilarious, mainly because she was so happy to talk about it and got really animated and giggly.
"It was the best wedding I have ever been. Elena and her husband, they were always with the guests. They were sitting with the microphone, they were talking to us a lot, they were singing a song together, they were dancing together, it was unbelievable. They always was with the guests. Because normally when you go to the wedding, the pair is just sitting and watching, so kind of boring. But they were interactive."
"They were dancing together and singing a song for each other. I think they practiced a lot. I talked to her and she said you can't imagine how tough it was before to organize everything. It took half a year. I was surprised. She was singing good."
"I didn't [catch the bouquet]. [laughs] It was fun. Elena, she was like, did like this [wink] to me. And actually all the girls, they were like trying to, you know, like I was catching the flowers. Then suddenly, from somewhere, Dushevina came, you know, sprint, and she just stole it from me. [laughs] So, ok. Whatever."
Whatever to your whatever, MaKiri. YOU NEXT.

|Permeable Paving
On This Page...

|Permeable paving is a rapidly developing sector within the hard-landscaping trade, and one that has a critical role to play in the future of our towns and cities. This page considers why it is so important, the different formats available, and how it can be installed. It also leads on to other pages considering, in particular, concrete block permeable paving (CBPP).
|Permeable paving is a relatively recent introduction to the British and Irish paving markets, but one that is set to dominate the trade in the coming years. It is one of the key technologies behind SUDS - Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems - as it enables "Source Control", control of storm water at its source, rather than at some treatment works several kilometres downstream. As more and more of the country is developed and an ever greater area is covered by roads, pavements, roofs and other buildings, two problems have come to prominence; the increased load we place on our already struggling sewer systems and the risks posed to our delicate treatment systems and watercourses from pollutants originating on the traditionally-drained impermeable surfaces. SUDS aims to address this problem - read more about it on the SUDS Introduction page.
|As the percentage of open ground is reduced, rainfall that would have been naturally absorbed and retained by the ground is diverted, resulting in large volumes of run-off water that have to be channelled via sewers that may be over 100 years old, or along watercourses that cannot adequately handle such large flows. Therefore, we see more sewer failures and increased erosion of our natural watercourses, requiring costly repair, maintenance or re-construction, all of which comes from our own pockets via our water bills.
Office car parks and civic squares are prime candidates for the use of permeable paving systems
The more urbanised the environment, the less surface water reaches the ground naturally
Also, with ever increasing numbers of vehicles and machines being used by society, we see more pollutants, especially hydrocarbons and heavy metals, being released into the environment. With impermeable surfaces, these pollutants are typically carried by run-off water into our sewers and natural watercourses, where they can cause significant and costly damage to treatment plants, or devastate the fauna and flora of our ditches, streams and rivers. Permeable systems enable pollutants to be trapped by the sub-base or by a geo-textile. See below for more details on how pollutants can be more effectively managed by permeable paving systems.
Consequently, many planners, local authorities and developers are now giving serious consideration to the use of permeable paving systems, as they can be more cost-effective than traditional collection and dispersal systems and offer significant environmental advantages, such as natural breakdown of pollutants, replenishment of aquifers, and the possibility of water harvesting.
Types:From a construction point of view, there are two main types of permeable paving system:
|For low-speed traffic areas, such as car parks, an infiltratable concrete block paver system is usually chosen, whereas a grass paving system may be used on non-trafficked areas or those areas subject to occasional trafficking. There are also porous asphalts and macadams now being trialled on urban highways, along with pervious resin-bound surfacings and it should not be forgotten that gravel is the simplest of all permeable surfacings.
Permeable, porous or pervious?These terms are often heard when suds-compliant paving is being discussed, but which is correct and is there any difference?
Well, permeable, from the Latin permeatus meaning that which may be passed through, is normally used when talking about systems, rather than elements. So, f'rinstance, we talk of permeable paving, meaning a paved surface through which water may pass. However, the water does not pass through individual blocks or flags, but through gaps between these elements.
However, when considering a non-elemental surfacing, such as macadam or even gravel, the water passes directly through the material, and so we usually refer to these materials as 'porous' (having pores) rather than permeable. In the early days of permeable paving, a number of manufacturers toyed with porous block pavers, but they were never very successful, compared to the permeable block systems we use nowadays.
Pervious (pervium - a way through) is a term that really ought only to be used when discussing soils. It has been used to describe macadams, but there is a move to standardise the term porous for use with that material, leaving pervious to the soil scientists and geo-technical crowd.
In summary: permeable systems, porous elements and pervious (or impervious) soils.
Permeable, porous and pervious pavings and surfacings:
Concrete Block Permeable Paving (CBPP)
Permeable clay pavers
Permeable macadam (impressive, eh!)
Permeable resin surfacing around a tree-pit
Self-binding Golden Gravel
Concrete-supported grass paving
System Designs
Permeable concrete block systems may rely solely on infiltration blocks or use a combination of infiltration blocks with additional drainage, either at the surface or within the sub-base. Small projects of less than 100 m² (depending on sub-grade permeability) can often be managed using 100% infiltration, whereas larger schemes will often need a combined system, with some form of surface water system provided as back-up for periods of exceptional flows.
There are three commonly specified 'systems' used for permeable pavements. These are examined in more detail on the CBPP page.
Different specifications for different usages
|The design standards for permeable pavements are spread through several documents, including BS 7533:3 (2005 ed.) CIRIA's Suds Manual and Interpave's guide to Permeable Pavements. While there are 'generic' designs for smaller pavements, larger system needs to be designed by a competent engineer after a thorough investigation of the site and an assessment of the needs of the project. Fortunately, all the major manufacturers have teams of engineers who are prepared to design a system specific to each project.
Idealised construction for permeable paving
|The basic structure of a permeable pavement is not dissimilar from that used for a standard block pavement. The sub-grade is prepared, a sub-base of a specified material is laid, then a laying course consisting of a no-fines granular material, such as 6mm grit, and finally the blocks themselves. There may be one or more geo-textiles incorporated into the structure, depending on the project parameters. With Infiltration Paving, the surface voids are also filled with a no-fines granular material.
Dealing with pollutantsAs noted above, geo-textiles or the sub-base can be utilised to 'trap' pollutants and prevent them being carried into sewers and watercourses. For example, a geo-textile laid between the sub-base and the bedding layer can be used to trap any organic matter, which will then decompose in the normal manner, and will also help to 'trap' hydrocarbons and other pollutants before they get into the sub-base.
|The use of an impermeable membrane beneath the sub-base will work to contain any pollutants within the sub-base from where they can be directed to the appropriate treatment facility or storage lagoon. The invert level of the discharge pipe can be set according to needs; when set at or near the bottom of the sub-base layer, it will drain all the groundwater; if set nearer the top of the sub-base, it will act as an overflow feature, allowing the sub-base to retain a proportion of the groundwater.
A tanked permeable system
|One major advantage of tanked permeable paving systems is that any significant contamination, for example, a diesel spillage, will be restricted to the immediate area and not transported into local sewers or watercourses, making any clean-up operation much easier and less costly to implement.
Storage system with overflow
Hydrocarbons can be slowly broken down within the sub-base by natural processes. Alternatively, regular application of oil-digesting microbes over the permeable pavement will accelerate the breakdown process. In heavily trafficked areas, such as car and lorry parks, a designated treatment process should be incorporated within the system, to prevent pollutants building up to unacceptable levels.
Projects where the groundwater and any pollutants are 'corralled' within the system are said to be 'Fully Contained'. Full containment should be designed in to the system where the water table is relatively shallow, or where there is a potential threat to potable water aquifers or other sensitive resources. Fully contained systems can also be used to create storage for later harvesting as 'grey water'.
MaintenanceWith Infiltration systems, the top 15-25mm of the voids has a tendency to self-seal with washed-in organic matter, muds and silts. This phenomenon obviously reduces the potential drainage capacity of the system. On the continent, engineers conservatively assume a reduction in the potential drainage capacity of a permeable pavement to around 10% of the theoretical maximum and so, additional run-off drainage is provided to cope with periods of exceptional flow. Longer-term research shows this 10% value to be somewhat pessimistic and although there is a measurable reduction in performance over time, the actual reduction does seem to stabilise in a period of 3-6 years to a value between 10 and 20%.
Regular jet-washing of infiltratable systems can be used to keep joints and voids clear, but is an expensive and labour intensive operation, so designs tend to assume that silting and reduction in capability will take place over time.
Porous systems may depend on periodic jetting or brushing to unclog blocked pores and so maintain system performance. The required frequency of jet-washing will be determined by local conditions. It has been shown that regular jetting can unclog around 80% of the original voids within the porous structure.

There's nothing quite like a Land Rover Discovery and this fifth generation version continues to offer the toughest, the most practical and the most capable choice in the large SUV sector. It's lighter, larger inside, cheaper to run and more media-savvy than its predecessor. Yet it remains a practical choice for up to seven adults and is an easy class-leader off the beaten track. In the large family SUV segment, there's nothing quite like it.Read Full Review
There aren't too many vehicles that dominate their class in quite such an imperious manner as the Land Rover Discovery. Now the opposition has even more to fret about, courtesy of a fifth generation model that the brand has continually improved. Jonathan Crouch reports
Without the Discovery model line, it's doubtful whether the Land Rover brand would even exist today. Launched back in 1989, the original version merely bolted more spacious bodywork onto an aging Range Rover chassis, but the sales it generated were enough to save the company. They also financed a more sophisticated five cylinder air suspended model in 1998 at the same time as the company's engineers were busily beavering away at something much better, third generation Discovery3 of 2004 which was ultimately developed into the Discovery4 of 2009. That bit of history illustrates that it's been quite a long time since we've had a fundamentally new design in this model line-up, but we have that now in the form of this fifth generation version. It's a big stylistic departure from its predecessor and it uses a range of far more efficient Ingenium diesel engines. Potentially then, lots to look forward to.
Driving Experience
There's still something very special about a place behind the wheel of a Discovery. In contrast to more car-like rivals, it's not a cockpit-like experience with all the controls angled towards you as they would be in, say a Range Rover Sport. No, this is different - a place of command: a place to do business with the elements, be they the snake-infested swamps of the rainy season in the Serengeti or the snarled-up traffic of a wet windy morning on the school run. This fifth generation version is powered by Jaguar Land Rover's efficient range of four and six cylinder petrol and diesel engines, all paired with a smooth and responsive ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox. Most buyers will want the entry-level twin-turbo Sd4 Ingenium four-cylinder diesel, a unit that produces 240hp with an impressive 500Nm of torque. There's also a 300hp four cylinder Ingenium petrol engine. Six-cylinder diesel power comes from the 306hp Sd6, which delivers 600Nm of torque for strong performance, pulling power and efficiency. All variants get impressive towing capability, the diesel variants offering a class-leading 3,500kg braking towing total. Plus Land Rover has developed clever technology to make this towing ability more accessible. Advanced Tow Assist is an ingenious development which allows drivers to complete potentially difficult reversing manoeuvres when towing trailers, caravans and horseboxes with ease. As before, there's class-leading off road ability thanks to permanent 4WD and the standard 'Terrain Response' system.
Design and Build
Think it looks like a larger version of the existing Discovery Sport? We do too. Land Rover insists though that historic Discovery design cues remain in this MK5 model, things like the stepped profile that optimises headroom for passengers travelling in the third row of seats. It also accommodates Discovery's customary stadium seating configuration, which sees each row of seats positioned higher than the one in front, ensuring every seat is the best seat in the house. Unlike some of this car's 7-seat SUV rivals, the third row chairs are designed for adults as well as kids. Auto Access Height technology reduces the ride-height by up to 40mm as passengers prepare to enter or exit the vehicle. Up front, there's the usual Jaguar Land Rover 'InControl Touch Pro' infotainment system, here in 10-inch form on the centre console, enabling Land Rover's designers to reduce the number of switches on the centre console by a third, delivering a clean and uncluttered appearance. Another technology feature for active families is Land Rover's state-of-the-art Activity Key wristband, which allows customers to enjoy sports and active hobbies without carrying the standard key fob. As for luggage space, well there's lots of it - up to 1,137-litres with the first two seating rows in place - or up to 2,406-litres with just the front seats in use.
Market and Model
Prices start at around £48,000; that's for the base 240hp Sd4 diesel variant. Obviously, you'll pay more if you want either the 306hp Sd6 diesel (which starts from around £57,000). Trim levels run from 'S', 'SE' and 'HSE' to 'HSE Luxury' and on to top 'Landmark' trim. A key standard equipment feature across the range is the InControl Touch Pro infotainment system with its slick 10-inch centre console touchscreen. Crisp graphics and easy-to-navigate menus incorporate the latest navigation and entertainment technologies including door-to-door navigation, which can share directions to a paired smartphone to help customers complete journeys on foot. Seamless iOS and Android connectivity combine with a 14-speaker Meridian digital surround system, with an additional subwoofer, and 3G WiFi to provide a superb listening experience, whether streaming songs online or playing music directly from a connected device. Up to four 12V charging points ensure this Discovery is well equipped to cope with the demands of the most connected families, while as many as nine USB sockets allow passengers in each row to power their smartphones or tablets simultaneously.
Cost of Ownership
There are a number of German-brand large SUV rivals that are more efficient than this Discovery. But then none of these cars are as large and practical and none is anything like as good off road. Find yourself a large SUV that can get close to matching this Discovery in these respects - say a long wheelbase Mitsubishi Shogun or Toyota Land Cruiser - and you'll find that it's slower, less well built and costlier to run. In other words, though in comparison to some rivals, there's still a premium to pay for this car's ultimate versatility and capability, it's a smaller one these days. And with the recent efficiency improvements made, it's now pretty justifiable. Helping in that regard is the fact that this MK5 model is lighter than its predecessor. Land Rover's proven lightweight and durable aluminium monocoque architecture contributes to a 480kg weight saving compared to steel ladder construction. As a result, the twin-turbo 240hp Sd4 Ingenium four-cylinder diesel engine, for example, manages combined cycle fuel economy of up to 33.6mpg and CO2 emissions of 197g/km. For the Si4 petrol variant, the figures are 25.8mpg and 222g/km, while for the Sd6 diesel, it's 31.5mpg and 202g/km. Helping in all cases is a stop start system that cuts the engine when you don't need it, say stuck in traffic or waiting at the lights.
The world takes on a different appearance from behind the wheel of a Land Rover Discovery. At the helm, you know you're in a car that can take on just about anything, be that a seven-up trip to the Alps or a relaxing ride home on a wet and slippery winter's night. But it's only when you put it through its paces in properly extreme terrain that the genius in its design becomes fully apparent. How can a car capable of such extremes on the rough stuff be so utterly easy to use on the school run? Only Land Rover knows. The more sophisticated design and clever in-car connectivity improvements of this fifth generation version are welcome but ultimately, the recipe is as before. There's a clever, classless feel about this car that nothing else can quite replicate. Other rival SUVs claim to be tough but at the wheel, you're always a little hesitant to see them prove that. A Discovery's different, a uniquely capable SUV and a British success story that we should be proud of.Hide Full Review

Perlmutter: I want to read the 14th Amendment in defense of health care
WASHINGTON — Stoked by a new-infusion of Tea Party spirit, some U.S. House of Representatives members will read the entire Constitution on the floor at the start of Congress tomorrow.
But Jefferson County Democrat Congressman Ed Perlmutter doesn't want to be left out.
The lawyer and fierce defender of the new health care law said after his swearing in Wednesday that he is going to try and squeeze in the line of House members already queuing to read the 14th Amendment aloud on the House floor.
The reason Perlmutter picked the 14th, which explicitly lays out equal protection for all people, is to defend the new health care legislation which House Republicans say they are going to try and repeal possibly as soon as Friday.

Did mayor ignore blizzard advisory?
BRIDGEPORT -- Despite being warned of a worsening forecast for uninterrupted snowfall, Mayor Bill Finch did not alter emergency plans as a blizzard bore down on his city earlier this month.
New details about Bridgeport's much-criticized response to the 30 inches of snowfall the storm dumped on Bridgeport Feb. 8 and 9 emerged Monday as elected officials prepared to face angry citizens.
Critics have urged residents to vent their frustrations before the City Council's regular 7 p.m. meeting Tuesday, presided over by the mayor. Finch's office Monday said public speaking will begin at 5:30 p.m. instead of the regularly scheduled 6:30 p.m.
"The mayor is very aware that there are many residents who have concerns about the city's response to the recent historic snowstorm. He wants to hear residents' feedback, all of which will aid the city in its review of strategies and procedures going forward," said Finch spokesman Elaine Ficarra.
Finch, in the hours and days following the storm, urged patience. He said the historic snowfall was worsened by drivers who became stuck in the middle of the road after his administration issued a snow emergency for 5 p.m. -- rush-hour in the city, when many who work were trying to get home -- on Friday, Feb. 8.
The declaration required residents get their cars off snow emergency streets and follow alternate side parking rules in other neighborhoods to ensure plow drivers passage.
"Most of these people (whose cars got stuck) were yahoos who went out after we told them not to," Finch said last week at one post-storm briefing.
But did the mayor exacerbate the problem by waiting too long to issue the parking ban?
By early afternoon Feb. 7 Stamford Mayor Mike Pavia had announced he would enforce that city's snow emergency protocols at 5 p.m. that evening -- 24 hours before Bridgeport.
Meanwhile Finch, at an afternoon press briefing that same day told reporters he was still anticipating rain on Feb. 8 and did not plan on closing schools.
On Monday, the Connecticut Post confirmed that initially the Danbury-based Connecticut Weather Center, which advises Bridgeport and Stamford, was forecasting early morning snow for Feb. 8, changing to rain in the afternoon, then back to snow in the evening into Feb. 9.
But according to weather center documents, by 8 p.m. Feb. 7 the storm's forecast had been revised to all snow.
"We took out the mix completely," meteorologist Bill Jacquemin, the center's president, said Monday when contacted to clarify why Pavia was gearing up for snow while Finch was still expecting rain.
Jacquemin recalled discussing the revised, all-snow forecast around 7:30 p.m. Feb. 7 with Bridgeport school officials and urging them to keep students home Friday.
"They were trying to get clarification that night about closing ... That's our service to them," Jacquemin said.
Ultimately Bridgeport overnight decided to close schools.
Meanwhile in Hartford Gov. Dannel P. Malloy by 10 p.m. Feb. 7 ordered non-essential state employees to stay home the next day.
But when Bridgeport residents awoke to the first flakes of the storm Feb. 8, Finch was still sticking to a 5 p.m. snow emergency. The administration did that morning announce city offices would close at noon.
Finch's office Monday night did not immediately respond to questions about Jacquemin's forecasts.
But early last week when asked whether he had waited too long to declare a snow emergency, Finch said he would not have done anything differently. He insisted that on Feb. 8, "We were ahead of the game."
One group not calling for the mayor's head is city plow drivers.
Anna Montalvo, a school district staffer, heads the Bridgeport chapter of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents the men and women responsible for clearing the city's roads.
"I think Mayor Finch was phenomenal as far as I'm concerned," Montalvo said. She echoed the administration's defense the city responded as best it could to a swift and powerful blizzard.
Montalvo also said Finch made the right call in sidelining plow drivers for thee hours during the height of the snowfall for safety purposes. Finch's decision was questioned after Malloy in his own post-storm briefing told reporters he urged municipalities to keep plows on the roads to stay ahead of the storm.
"You don't want any worker getting injured or worse," Montalvo said.
