Nearly Half of Americans Pirate Casually, But Pirates Purchase More Legal Content

Only a narrow majority support piracy punishments, while nearly half of people pirate
The latest edition of Columbia University's American Assembly's "Copy Culture" study on piracy and American society has been published and
familiar themes
appear yet again. The study examines
copyright infringement
and public sentiments regarding punishment in the United States and Germany
In the study authored by American Assembly VP
Joe Karaganis
and Dutch freelancer/Ph.D researcher
Lennart Renkema
, it is revealed that 45 percent of U.S. citizens and 46 percent of German citizens actively pirate media. Those rates jump to nearly 70 percent when looking at younger demographics.
When it comes to peer-to-peer (P2P) pirates, the authors note an interesting correlation with legal purchases. They write:
They buy as many legal DVDs, CDs, and subscription media services as their non-file-sharing, Internet-using counterparts. In the US, they buy roughly 30% more digital music. They also display marginally higher willingness to pay.
The authors note that most pirates illegally download casually. They write:
In both countries only 14% of adults have acquired most or all of a digital music or video collection this way. Only 2%–3% got most or all of a large collection this way (>1000 songs or >100 movies / TV shows).
The study also found that while only a smaller percentage (around 22 percent in the U.S. among those under 30) copy privately from friends, the practice is more common in Germany. However, the study points out that most people in the U.S. believe private copying is legal, when in fact it carries severe criminal penalties under current, mostly unenforced, laws.
Piracy tends to be remote and pervasive, but mostly casual.
Germans tend to be more supportive of punishments for pirates; 59 percent of Germans back punishments, while only 52 percent of Americans back punishments for filesharers. In America only 37 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds support such penalties, while in Germany 56 percent of the younger demographic supports the penalties.
Only around 20 percent of people in the U.S. and Germany support stricter penalties, though, such as
disconnecting pirates from the internet
. Most are fine with content providers policing posted content and removing infringing links or sending warnings to pirates. But when it comes to stricter punishments or the premise of the
government stepping in
, support sharply drops off.
Perhaps the most interesting conclusion of the study is just how much support there is in both countries for the idea of offering an unlimited pass to media content for a monthly fee. According to the report:
Sixty-one percent of Germans would pay a small broadband fee to compensate creators in return for legalized file sharing.
Forty-eight percent of Americans would do so—a surprisingly high number given the relative invisibility of such proposals in US debates.
The median willingness to pay was $18.79 per month in the US and €16.43 in Germany.
The study found that Germans were only about half as likely pay for TV or own a smartphone (e.g. 35 percent of Americans own smartphones vs. 18 percent for Germans). A broad range of age groups in both countries own DVDs and CDs, but when it comes to digital media, younger age groups substantially outnumber older ones in ownership.
Americans tend to have larger music and DVD collections.
The study was conducted via telephone interview of 2,303 U.S. adults and 1,000 German adults. All those surveyed were over 18. The study authors make it clear that they were careful in how they worded questions to prevent respondents from feeling pressured to lie about their own piracy habits, a complaint the authors make about other studies.

"I read another review that said these shoes look cheap but I have to disagree; albeit, they don't look like a million dollars but they look and feel like they'll last a while. My feet are a little wide so the top of the shoe is a bit snug and digs in a little but I'm hoping that after a few wears I'll break them in and that won't be an issue anymore. For average size/shaped feet, this shoe is true to size."

Customer Reviews:
Comments: RJ Rules like his new stick! Love it.
From: RJ, Pompano FL
Comments: The puck feel of this stick is absolutely unreal! I've never used a stick that makes puck handling and passing so effortless. Passes just hit the blade and stick to it... The one95 was always my favorite stick for puck feel, but after using the Widow there's no comparison. And don't even get me started on the how this beast shoots either... I think the other reviews covered that fairly well. Simply put the Widow is, in my opinion, hands down the best stick on the market right now.
From: ??
Comments:Very light and well balanced. The 12" taper truly gives the stick an amazing feel while shooting. Wrist and snapshots really come off the stick with authority. Slapshots suffer just a little bit but I dont think that's the idea with this stick. Blade seems durable and stiff almost pingy at times. Looks wise the stick in my opinion is the nicest on the market. Well made , great looks , and performance to match

Huntington City recently held a public hearing to get public opinion on what residents would like to do with grant money that the city is applying for. The city will be applying for the Community Block Development Grant Program for the 2004 year. The first step in the application process is to find out what the citizens would like to have, to better the community.
The grant has been available since 1974, and is open to communities of 50,000 people or less. The purpose of the grant is to help improve the community, and provide a better environment for residents. It is specifically meant for low to moderate income communities. The maximum amount the grant will be for the 2004 year is $81,000.
The council opened the meeting to residents' suggestions for the money. Jacob Bawden, Bruce Bell and Paul Arnold suggested that the city put in a skate park for the youth. They mentioned that there are several youth that enjoy skateboarding, but there isn't anywhere for them to do this. There are several signs that state specifically "no skateboarding." The youth would like to see a place where they can go and skate legally.
Brent Gordon suggested that the city use the money to put up some chain link fences at the rodeo grounds to make an entry gate. He would also like to see a new tractor to pull the new grater, and a garage to store them in.
Hilary Gordon would like to see some more beautification done to the city. She would like to "take people's breath away when they enter the city."
Julie Jones suggested that they build a playground for the kids. Currently the only playground is the one at the grade school. She would like to see a city park with equipment for kids to play on. She would also like to see a "Welcome to Huntington" sign.
The city will also be conducting a survey of about 250 randomly selected homes to get an income bracket. The city must have 51 percent of the 250 surveyed in the low to moderate income bracket to qualify. The city encourages all residents to cooperate with surveyors when they come around.

Art in the World of a Newly Independent Nation
Artist Sayed Haider Raza at Mission Delhi. (photo: Mayank Austen Soofi/Flickr)
"What was so revolutionary was that they insisted on being 'Indian' and 'modern.'"
—Maithili Parekh
The Progressive Artists Group was founded in India in 1947, the year the country gained its independence from Britain, to "look at the world from an Indian way, not a British way" according to Sayed Haider Raza, one of the two living original members of this group. The New York Times recently interviewed the artist about the continued legacy of this collective, which was disbanded just a decade after its creation.
"Our ways of looking at models and compositions reflected our education, which was British. In the '30s and '40s there was this shift from the British way of looking at art to an Indian way, which was not just about knowledge but also informed by the senses."

This was a very nice stay in a flat with everything, you need.
Very nice flat in a good location. Perfect service.
I went with my girlfriend, my parents and my dog. We all really loved the stay! The house is renewed, and everything was like shown in the pictures. It's well placed and the city is lovely. I really recommend.
Everything was great :) Can only recommend it.
a nice place to visit
Perfect apartment for a long weekend with friends in Prague .
Everything was just fine - especially the terrace .
We would like to recommend this place to anyone who want to spend free time in cote d'azur region. This flat is perfect for two people, it's situated in a location from which you have good acces to all intresting places, there are nice views from outside the window, in addition you can rest by the pool.
The view is excellent. Alps with your morning coffee. Quiet, everything within walking distance. Service, however, is low. A few things is missing in the appartment: table cloth, a frying pan, salt&pepper, hand soap, sufficient toilet paper. In addition, cleaning is not satisfactory - we found old chips/crisps and candy under the beds! On top of this, the Swiss system of paying 25 Swiss Francs for linnen pr. person plus 39 Swiss Francs for cleaning pr. person and the tourist taxt (5.8 Swiss Francs pr. person per day) added a nice 150% to the total costs of our three day stay. It would be more honest to present future guests with a clear total price. What good is a bed without linnen? A hotel might turn out to be the best option and cheaper in the end.
Everything was allright. The resort is beautiful, it is a quiet place not far away the see. We found on the last half of the vacation a supermarket in the city center, but there are small shops in the near. The keyholder was very helpful and correct, he helped us every time, we called him. There is just one negative or inconvenience, but it is not the keyholder's false, it is not easy to find the apartment at first time. The address is Via Rota 16, the Via Bernardino Rota is the other end of this street. But, thanks to this, we recognized the area of the apartment.
So, all in all, this was a great week and thanks to the keyholder and to Interhome. I hope, we will repeat soon.
Be aware that the apartment is made up of 2 bedrooms (4 beds each), 1 living/dining room (2 beds), 1 kitchen/living room (2 sofas), 1 bathroom and 1 separate toilet. So people sleeping in the living/dining room don't have much intimacy.
It's very quiet on the bedrooms side (building courtyard), less quiet on the living room side (street+tramway), so people sleeping there will sleep in a noisy environment.
The apartment was clean and functional. The kitchen is properly equipped.
The apartment is within walking distance of the old city center which was very appreciated, and public transportation (tramway, subway) is very near. Nice restaurants around, supermarket closeby, all in all the localisation is very good.

History's Headlines: Back to the future
Latin Mass revival
ALLENTOWN, Pa. - On a quiet weekday afternoon recently, Rev. William N. Seifert, pastor of St. Stephen of Hungary Church in Allentown, walked out of the church's sacristy to a small crowd of devout faithful.
Located at Union and 5th Streets, the congregation is 100 years old this year, having once served a large ethnic Hungarian community that worked in the old Allentown Wire Mill- which was a major maker of barbed wire- and also other industries that once huddled under the 8th Street Bridge.
Its early services were held in the basement of Sacred Heart Church and a small church built in the 1900's. The current church was built under early 20th century pastor Rev. Ladislaus Nagy.
In a way that would have been universally recognized in any Catholic church 50 or more years ago, Father Seifert begins to recite in Latin the ancient prayers and scripture that were adopted by Western Christianity in the third century when the language replaced Greek.
At the 16th century Council of Trent, called by the pope to help combat the Protestant Reformation, the Latin Mass was standardized and reinforced. As a result it is sometimes called the Tridentine Mass after Trent's Latin name "Tridentum," now Trento, Italy. It is in this form that it was known until the 1960's.
Women, some in long, lacey headgear, others in simple scarves, and bareheaded men bow in prayer. Several clutch the aging missals that were standard parts of worship in the pre-Vatican II era. They watch Seifert intently as he raises the host and a server rings the bells in a rhythmic ritual.
It would be wrong to suggest that for these worshippers that if the Mass is not in Latin, it is not the Mass. There is no doubt that most could be comfortable in the vernacular mass that is standard since the Second Vatican Council of the 1960's.
But it is a matter of preference, and, since both the late Pope John Paul II and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI have allowed the Latin rite to be adopted, it has attracted both those who remember it and those who do not but simply are curious to learn about it.
Since October 8, 2006 the Diocese of Allentown has established St. Stephen of Hungary Parish as the Diocesan site for the celebration of what is officially known as the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. Today St. Stephen's offers a sung Latin Mass on Sunday and a low mass at 12:10 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
It was on November 21, 1963 that Catholics in the Lehigh Valley became officially aware that the adoption of a vernacular mass had been approved by the Vatican Council. Called by Pope John XXIII to help update the church for the modern world, by 1963 it was under the direction of Pope Paul VI, who was selected as successor after John XXIII's death.
On page 35 of the Morning Call that day, directly across from a brief story noting that President John F. Kennedy and his wife would be in Texas over the next three days to try and mend political fences in that state's Democratic Party, an article on the Vatican Council noted a debate was going on over two important declarations: one denouncing anti-Semitism and another promoting religious freedom.
Almost as an afterthought, the Associated Press story noted, "the council paused in its debate to vote overwhelming approval of a series of amendments to a liturgy of public worship provision providing for use of modern languages in most of the Mass."
It went on to say that "the overall schema on liturgy, for providing for many related forms in worship and church art is expected to be promulgated as the council's first decree next week."
On page 20 of the November 22, 1963 issue of the Call, a slightly fuller article, noted that the vote in favor the change had been 2,107 to 95 and that the "Canon or heart of the Mass, the Consecration of bread and wine plus prayers just before and after" would remain in Latin.
Understandably the assassination of the Roman Catholic President Kennedy that day drew much more attention of American Roman Catholics than anything happening in Rome. But gradually the new vernacular Mass began to take hold.
By 1967 the Canon was being used in the vernacular languages. It was in this form that it was accepted by the vast majority of Roman Catholics around the world.
In the following years the Catholic Church had to continually remind the faithful and a press corps not known for doing nuance well, that Latin had not been abolished as a liturgical language by the Second Vatican Council.
But by the 1970s, attempts by clergy on various levels to make the church more relevant to young people, such as guitar Masses, led to questioning by conservative Catholics that the church was sacrificing its tradition to appease a trendy and tacky form of modernism.
This argument found a willing papal ear in John Paul II. As early as 1984 he noted the importance of allowing those who wanted to worship using the Latin rite in Latin to do so. In 1988 he noted in an Apostolic letter, "respect must everywhere be shown for the feelings of all those who are attached to the Latin liturgical tradition."
This was followed in 2007 with an Apostolic letter from Pope Benedict where he claimed that both the Latin rite in the Roman Missal "promulgated by St. Pius V and reissued by Blessed John XXIII…must be given due honor for its venerable and ancient usage."
Undoubtedly the vernacular Mass has taken hold and is here to stay. By allowing use of the Latin, the Catholic Church is recognizing a part of its past as a treasure for the future. For those who gather at St. Stephen it certainly is.

Bridging the gap: 7th ESB Marines train in Colorado River
Marines.mil | Apr 07 2014
LAUGHLIN, Nev. (March 25, 2014) – Metal scraped against dirt as a Rubber-Tired, Articulated-Steering, and Multipurpose Tractor [TRAM] broke down dirt barricades, granting more than 60 Marines with Bridge Company, 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group, access to the Colorado River after a 16-hour long convoy. This was just the beginning of a week-long training exercise to familiarize the Marines with crossing a flowing body of water while transporting heavy equipment.
The Marines traveled 300 miles to Laughlin, Nev., for the opportunity to face the challenging current of the river, and put their training to the test.
"If we get deployed somewhere, and we need to cross a river, the bridge has been taken out and the other side is impassible, we can put equipment on the raft, move it up-river to an area that is passible, and maintain movement forward in an expeditionary environment," said GySgt Jeremy King, company first sergeant with Bridge Co., 7th ESB, 1st MLG.
Without this resource, moving equipment over rapid waters would be significantly more difficult. The ability to bridge equipment across water is a valuable asset for Marines as an amphibious fighting force.
"Part of our mission in Bridge Co. is to provide bridging capabilities for the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force," said Capt. Jonathan Hudson, company commander, Bridge Co., 7th ESB, 1st MLG. "Part of that includes rafting. It wasn't easy to travel 300 miles to train out here, but we wanted a challenge … so it was definitely worth the trip."
As the Marines prepared to dive head first into the exercise, on rough waters, many had their doubts in how productive they would be in transporting gear up stream.
"We did the bridge reconnaissance right after we arrived, and I'll admit I was a little skeptical," said Cpl. Anderson Krieger, raft commander with Bridge Co., 7th ESB, 1st MLG. "I didn't think we could ferry equipment against the current. We weren't used to operating in a current at all."
In the early stages of the exercise, the Marines driving the boats navigated the river, both with the current and against it, in order to get a feel for how they should be operating in the new environment.
"It was definitely a crawl, walk, run approach to the exercise," said King. "Safety is paramount when we are out here training on a public river."
As the days went on, the improved ribbon bridge, a multi-piece bridge that functions as a raft, was inserted into the river. The Colorado River's current moved at an average speed of five feet per second. This kind of momentum was a far cry from the relatively-calm conditions in the Del Mar boat basin where the Marines usually conduct this training.
"Marines have to move significantly faster than they had to in a boat basin," said Krieger. "The current carries the equipment downstream until everyone is in position and pushing it upstream. When we work on a river with expensive civilian houses on the other side, the last thing we want is to be too slow and ruin one of their boat ramps by crashing a very heavy piece of equipment into their property."
The Marines went from not being sure what they could do against the current, to being confident that they could operate in even tougher conditions if they had to. Throughout the week, the Marines ferried a substantial amount of weight up the river. The Marines transported a Humvee, a TRAM, and two 7-tons, weighing approximately 60,000 pounds, in just three trips.
"I couldn't ask for anything to go any better on the water, and that was the main challenge and focus of this training," said Hudson, a native of Lima, Ohio. "My Marines moved fast, did what they practiced, and this has been a huge success."

The National Gallery of Australia and the National Portrait Gallery are pleased to collaboratively present the Art & Life Seminar, on Saturday 9 April 2005 in the James O Fairfax Theatre, National Gallery of Australia.
The seminar focuses on the life and work of three important artists, the subjects of three concurrent exhibitions: Margaret Preston – Australian printmaker, Grace Cossington Smith: a retrospective exhibition (NGA) and The World of Thea Proctor (NPG).
All three women were vigorous modern artists who found inspiration in different and sometimes overlapping worlds. They were near-contemporaries who worked in Europe at various times in their respective careers, made major contributions to Australian art and remained artistically active late into their lives. While their approaches and personalities were strikingly different, their art shared many qualities, most importantly a strong emphasis on structure, colour and design. They each pushed the boundaries of their artistic practices; during their lifetimes and since they have been regarded as linked pioneers and advocates for Australian modernism.
Bringing these three artists together as a focus of study, the seminar will share recent research and scholarship to give insight into the ways in which they were central to the development of Australian art in the twentieth century.
Director of the National Portrait Gallery, Andrew Sayers, says "the seminar offers an excellent forum to analyse and discuss the impact of the three artists' work on the development of Australian art, particularly modernism."
Ron Radford, Director, National Gallery of Australia says "it's an exciting opportunity to focus on three brave and pioneering artists, who injected vitality and a new approach to style and subject matter of Australian Art".
Seminar Registration includes access to all seminars sessions, lunch and evening receptions, a seminar satchel, entry to the exhibition launch of The World of Thea Proctor on Friday 8 April and 40% off purchase of the three exhibition catalogues available at the NGA.
The Art & Life Seminar has been collaborated by the National Gallery of Australia and the National Portrait Gallery

Nice arena in background. Yours?
It could be if my girls were into horses as much as I would like to be. The area you saw is actually an empty lot that some neighbors ride in. Next to that is a lot with 2.5 horses (1 mini). We are zoned for three horses, but so far I don't having any takers for stall mucking, so the back of our lot is just empty for now.
{jealous} That looks really great - I wish it had been an option for us. I love our oven, but I definitely would have gone for the raised if I could have. Can't wait to hear how you like it.
It's the work you do that pays for the play! Since you brought it up, what's your occupation?
Patent Attorney.
Two friends?? Unless one of those friends is the Incredible Hulk, you will need at LEAST 3 friends and probably more. For our smaller oven, when it came time to lift the dome pieces into place, we had FIVE guys and it still wasn't easy. Line up some extras
Antoine, in Robyn's installation, it looks like she has a bottom ceramic insulation, then a concrete looking layer, then the floor of the oven. For mine it looks like I am to use two layers of the ceramic insulation and then the oven floor, is that correct?

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Education released graduation rate data today for the 2012-2013 school year. The data show that the state's non-waiver graduation rate was 81.72%, up from 80.46% in 2012. The overall graduation rate for all schools was 88.6%, virtually unchanged from the prior year's rate of 88.7%. Non-waiver data is important for federal reporting requirements, as well as providing a more full picture of the number of students that are successfully passing their end of course assessments.
In addition to releasing statewide data, the Department released a wealth of other data, including graduation rate by school and school corporation, public and non-public schools, as well as graduation rate by race and ethnicity.
"There is some encouraging information in this release," said Glenda Ritz, Indiana's Superintendent of Public Instruction. "While the overall graduation rate is largely the same as it was in 2012, when you dig into the data it becomes clear that more of our students are graduating without a waiver and passing their end of course assessments. This is a crucial step in ensuring that our students graduate from high school both college and career ready."
A copy of the graduation rate data can be found here and here.

The Los Angeles Angels and marquee free agent Josh Hamilton agreed on a five-year, $125 million contract Thursday, two high-ranking executives with direct knowledge of the talks told USA TODAY Sports.
The officials could not comment publicly because the Angels had not announced the deal.
The Texas Rangers were willing to give Hamilton a four-year contract for about $100 million, according to one of the executives, forcing the Angels to pay an extra year to Hamilton. He originally was seeking a seven-year, $175 million contract.
ON THE MARKET: Top free agents remaining
Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said Hamilton did not give Texas the opportunity to match the Angels' offer.
"It was our full expectation that the phone call was going to be before he signed, and certainly not after," Daniels told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "Josh had indicated recently, last week, that he felt it might be time to move on, but we were still talking. We had had additional conversations this week that I thought had moved in a positive direction."
MORE: What can the Angels expect from Hamilton?
Angels GM Jerry DiPoto said Wednesday that a major move was not "imminent, pressing or required," but with the Hamilton addition, the team's payroll is at $109 million for the 12 players under contract.
A year ago, the Angels spent more than $300 million to sign first baseman Albert Pujols and starter C.J. Wilson, another former Ranger.
"It's a great day to be an Angel/Angel fan!" tweeted Wilson.
Hamilton, 31, hit 43 homers with 128 RBI last season but faded down the stretch. He hit .368 with 21 homers and 57 RBI in the first two months of the season and just .245 with 22 homers and 57 RBI in his last 380 at-bats, striking out a career-high 162 times.
GALLERY: Josh Hamilton in pictures
Hamilton, who played five seasons for the Rangers, has been an enigma. He is a devoutly religious man but has fought substance abuse, missing more than two years of his career as a minor leaguer.
Rangers veterans said there were days Hamilton walked into the clubhouse and looked like he'd rather take a three-hour nap than play a game. They'd question his passion at times, wondering if he plays for his love of the game, or love of the diversion from the routine. They cringe when he publicly talks about his ailments, quite aware that he has missed 163 games the last five years.
Hamilton says he has been drug-free for seven years and two months. He has had two relapses with alcohol but no public incidents involving drugs.
When Rangers manager Ron Washington was asked at the winter meetings this month whether Hamilton would consider the merits of staying in a comfortable environment in Texas vs. departing, he said: "I hope that he'll take that into consideration. But I know it's going to come down to dollars.''
The move has the potential to shift the balance of power in the American League West. Hamilton helped the Rangers win the division — and the pennant — in 2010 and '11. Texas finished second to Oakland this past season, while the Angels were in third place, five games behind the A's.
Now the Angels boast a lineup that includes Hamilton and Pujols, perhaps the most potent lefty-righty duo in baseball, as well as AL Rookie of the Year Mike Trout.
"Wow," tweeted Trout.

Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore
About Spring
March 18 : 02 days till Spring begins
Did you know that springtime allergies actually start in the winter?
By February, temperatures in most parts of the country have begun to rise, triggering the trees to bloom and release their pollen. The most allergic springtime pollens are oak, olive, elm, birch, ash, hickory, poplar, sycamore, maple, cypress and walnut. Odds are you have a few of those trees near your home, so now is the time to stock up on tissues and allergy medicine.
Ah, spring. The snow fades away, the temperatures warm, and the days grow blissfully longer. The lovebirds are happily cooing in their new nests; and the daffodils and tulips are blooming. This year, get yourself ready to spring into springtime with our fun-filled spring trivia.
We'll be presenting a new "Did You Know?" fun fact each day as we countdown to Spring on March 20th! So stop by again tomorrow.

Ignatius the God-Bearer, Bishop of Antioch
Document Actions
December 20
Saint Ignatius was a disciple of Saint John the Theologian, and a successor of the Apostles, and he became the second Bishop of Antioch, after Evodus. He wrote many epistles to the faithful, strengthening them in their confession, and preserving for us the teachings of the holy Apostles. Brought to Rome under Trajan, he was surrendered to lions to be eaten, and so finished the course of martyrdom about the year 107. The remnants of his bones were carefully gathered by the faithful and brought to Antioch. He is called God-bearer, as one who bare God within himself and was aflame in heart with love for Him. Therefore, in his Epistle to the Romans (ch. 4), imploring their love not to attempt to deliver him from his longed-for martyrdom, he said, "I am the wheat of God, and am ground by the teeth of the wild beasts, that I may be found to be the pure bread of God."
Apolytikion of Ignatius the God-Bearer in the Fourth Tone
As a sharer of the ways and a successor to the throne of the Apostles, O inspired of God, thou foundest discipline to be a means of ascent to divine vision. Wherefore, having rightly divided the word of truth, thou didst also contest for the Faith even unto blood, O Hieromartyr Ignatius. Intercede with Christ our God that our souls be saved.
Kontakion of Ignatius the God-Bearer in the Third Tone
The divine and brilliant day of thine illustrious contests doth proclaim to all mankind Him that was born of a Virgin; for it was for Him that thou didst thirst to delight in, and didst haste to be devoured by beasts in thy longing. Hence, O glorious Ignatius, the name God-bearer was rightly given to thee.

Increased Conditions of Readiness
The City of Corpus Christi Emergency Preparedness Plan operates under four "conditions of readiness" which correspond to varying degrees of threat. Conditions will be upgraded or downgraded based on information received from the National Weather Service or other sources. Conditions of readiness may be set by the Mayor, City Manager or the Emergency Management Coordinator.
Beginning with the lowest level (Condition 4), these conditions are as follows:
CONDITION 4 is the "increased awareness" stage and will be used when a higher degree of readiness than is normally present is needed. This condition will automatically be in effect during hurricane season (June 1 - November 30) or:
a. during periods of fire threat due to severe drought.
ACTION: the Emergency Management Coordinator will initiate general increased readiness activities. Group Managers/Department Heads shall review their respective Standard Operating Procedures and/or annexes and advise the Emergency Management Coordinator of any changes in personnel, material resources or operating procedures which may impact the department's readiness.
CONDITION 3 is the "watch" phase and indicates the existence of potential danger that could develop into a hazardous condition requiring a greater degree of readiness than Condition 4, but is not an immediate threat to life or property. Condition 3 may be generated by:
a. HURRICANE WATCH (the National Weather Service predicts landfall to be likely within 36 hours and/or within 100 miles of Corpus Christi.)
ACTION: The Office of Emergency Management will be staffed as necessary and active liaison will be maintained with the National Weather Service through direct telephone if the hazard is weather related. The Emergency Management Coordinator shall notify and brief the Mayor, City Manager and key Department Heads on the crisis situation and developments. The operational status of the Emergency Operations Center shall be verified. Primary EOC personnel will check their equipment and will be available from this point on or until the situation is downgraded to Condition 4.
CONDITION 2 is the "warning" phase and will be set when a situation has definite characteristics of becoming hazardous and there is significant probability of injury and/or property damage. Condition 2 will normally require some degree of community alert. The City Manager may declare that the Emergency Services Policy is in effect. Condition 2 may be generated upon receipt of a hurricane warning, tornado warning, or any other notification of the existence of a direct threat such as a toxic spill, major fire, growing civil disturbance or:
a. an international crisis has deteriorated to the point that enemy attack is probable.
ACTION: The Mayor, City Manager, Emergency Management Coordinator, key department heads and designated staff members shall assemble at the Emergency Operating Center. Emergency procedures and any necessary amendments or modifications will be briefed for the event in progress. The Public Information Officer will inform the news media that public information facilities are operational. All communications equipment will be made operational and shall be thoroughly checked by the Emergency Management Office staff. All EOC staff members will remain on one hour standby following initial check in at the EOC. In the event of a hurricane threat, communications will be established with the National Weather Service.
CONDITION 1 indicates hazardous conditions are imminent. Events such as hurricane landfall within 12 hours, tornado, large explosion, major toxic chemical release, widespread civil disturbance and violence, damaging tides or imminent enemy attack will cause Condition 1 to be set.
ACTION: The EOC will be fully staffed and each department will begin full emergency operations. Low lying and other flood prone areas will be evacuated well prior to the onset of high tides, flood waters or storm surge activity. All hurricane preparations should be complete prior to setting Condition 1.

I installed a new Whirlpool 40 gal natural gas unit today and the pilot will not light... this seems to be a constant problem with the Whirlpool water heaters - at least I've seen various pilot malfunctions in other posts. Seems as if the pilot light goes out over time and various parts have to be replaced, and often these do not solve the pilot problem... in a few days or months it happens again...
Anyone else having problems with Whirlpool Water Heaters? Are they poorly designed and built or are they reliable?? thanks!!
