Rowan Williams warns of downgrading of religious education
Rowan Williams has warned against "downgrading" religious education in secondary schools in his last Easter sermon as Archbishop of Canterbury.
Younger people take religion seriously "when they have the chance to learn about it," he said.
And Cardinal Keith O'Brien, leader of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland, urged Christians to wear a cross to symbolise their beliefs.
It comes amid a growing debate about secularisation in British society.
Meanwhile, the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh have attended traditional Easter Sunday service at Windsor Castle.
During the service at Canterbury Cathedral, Dr Williams said it was the wrong time to "downgrade the status and professional excellence" of religious education in schools.
'Something here'
RE is not one of the subjects counting towards the English Baccalaureate, the standard for ranking schools brought in by the coalition government.
The English Baccalaureate ranks secondary schools in England according to the number of pupils who get good GCSEs in English, maths, science, another language and a humanities subject - either geography or history.
Supporters of religious education want to see it included in the humanities category.
But the government says it is already a compulsory National Curriculum subject and the English Baccalaureate is to encourage more students to take up geography and history in addition to RE - not instead of it.
In his sermon, Dr Williams said: "There is plenty to suggest that younger people, while still statistically deeply unlikely to be churchgoers, don't have the hostility to faith that one might expect, but at least share some... sense that there is something here to take seriously - when they have a chance to learn about it.
"It is about the worst possible moment to downgrade the status and professional excellence of religious education in secondary schools."
Dr Williams said a hostility towards faith and religion in public life may have been tempered by a recent appreciation of the social value of religion.
But he said the ultimate test of Christianity was not whether it was beneficial to the human race, but whether the resurrection of Jesus Christ actually happened.
He said that for Christians a vision of reconciled love between people "is there only because God raised Jesus" and that the answer was not in scientific proof, but by the way believers lived with and in their faith.
'Militant secularisation'
The latest debate on faith in Britain was ignited after Conservative co-chairwoman Baroness Warsi warned that the nation was under threat from a rising tide of "militant secularisation".
The Muslim peer said in February that Europe needed to become "more confident and more comfortable in its Christianity".
Research carried out in the same month by a secularist foundation suggested three-quarters of people who describe themselves as Christian in Britain displayed only a low level of belief and practice of the religion.
The Ipsos Mori poll, for the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science, was rubbished by the Church, with Reverend Giles Fraser, former Canon Chancellor of St Paul's, saying it was not fair to trump people's "self-identification" as Christians.
In his Easter Sunday sermon, Cardinal O'Brien told worshippers to "wear proudly a symbol of the cross of Christ" each day of their lives.
He also voiced concern at the growing "marginalisation" of religion.
'Prod and nag'
Dr Williams also issued a call for peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Middle East.
He said: "A visit to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, will convince you why the state of Israel exists and must go on existing.
"A visit to any border checkpoint will convince you that the daily harassment and humiliation of Palestinians of all ages and backgrounds cannot be a justifiable or even sustainable price to pay for security."
He said: "We have to prod and nag and encourage the religious leadership in the Holy Land on all sides to speak as if they believed in a God who acts, not only a God who endorses their version of reality.
"We have to pray, to pray for wisdom and strength and endurance for all who are hungry for peace and justice, pray that people will go on looking for a truly shared future."
In March, Dr Williams announced he would step down as Archbishop of Canterbury - the head of the Church of England - in December, after 10 years in the role.

Falcon Heene, the "balloon boy," performed this rap with his brothers during the family's appearance on the 100th episode of ABC's hit reality show Wife Swap
Like Max, the protagonist of Maurice Sendak's illustrated classic Where The Wild Things Are, the Heene brothers are crass, unpredictable, and imaginative in their shenanigans (perhaps to the point of excess). They seem not unlike Spike Jonze, the director of the Where the Wild Things Are movie adaptation, in that regard. Jonze's affection for similar D.I.Y. viral video stunts, for one, is decidedly "not pussified"
In fact, how can anyone be sure that the "balloon boy" incident was not a viral marketing campaign for the film that Jonze himself conceived? America met the Heenes the day before the national release of Where The Wild Things Are. Kind of makes you think…

|Summary: Synchronize a remote arborescence from a local directory by using FTP
The command ftpsync is a tool allowing incremental and recursive FTP transfer from a local directory to a remote FTP-served directory. We sometimes need to mirror a set of files on a remote ftp server. The perfect tool (rsync) is not always available. Developing a script invoking a standard FTP client software will cause useless transfers (all files again and again even if they have not changed), and taking subdirectories into account will not be easy. ftpsync is the adequate tool because it reduces the amount of data transfered by not transfering a given local file if the remote copy has an newer date (so the copy is already done and up to date) and the same size (transfert completely done). The difference between system clocks is taken into account using the ftp protocol. ftpsync is somewhat "like" the rsync command but it uses the FTP protocol and only transfers local files to a remote FTP server. Moreover it implements the missing 'recursive PUT' FTP command.

- This article is about the character in the series. For the character in the film, see Zhao.
|"I am a legend now! The Fire Nation will for generations tell stories about the great Zhao who darkened the moon! They will call me Zhao the Conqueror! Zhao the Moon Slayer! Zhao ... the Invincible!"
|— Zhao suggesting epithets for himself after capturing the Moon Spirit.[1]
Zhao was the leader of the Fire Nation Navy for a brief period in early 100 AG.[5] During his career, he held the ranks of lieutenant, captain, commander,[2] and finally admiral.[3] He was trained by Jeong Jeong to become a master firebender and, as one of the most powerful men in the Fire Nation, took it upon himself to capture Avatar Aang, thus becoming a rival of Prince Zuko.[3] Zhao was a major enemy of Team Avatar in most of the events leading up to his siege of the Northern Water Tribe, during which he killed the Moon Spirit at the Spirit Oasis. This resulted in his downfall by a vengeful La,[1] who subsequently forced the firebender to spend eternity in the Fog of Lost Souls in the Spirit World.[4]
Early life
In his youth, Zhao studied firebending under Jeong Jeong, but stayed under his tutelage only as long as necessary to learn destructive maneuvers, rejecting his master's attempts to teach him discipline.[6] This lack of self-control, combined with a fiery temper, resulted in a tendency to make foolish mistakes when provoked. Zhao usually undertook missions for the sole purpose of glorifying his name.
Early years in the military
Zhao eventually began a career in the Fire Nation Navy. As a junior lieutenant serving under General Shu in the Earth Kingdom, Zhao discovered a vast Spirit Library hidden underground. Interested in learning the information it held, he searched through scroll after scroll for knowledge that could aid the Fire Nation in its efforts against the Avatar and Water Tribes, until he came across a detailed illustration with the words "moon" and "ocean".[1] It was there that he learned about the Moon and Ocean Spirits of the Water Tribe and where their mortal incarnations could be found. To prevent enemies of the Fire Nation from discovering this information, Zhao burned down the section of the library pertaining to the Fire Nation.[7] After this incident, he became obsessed with his supposed destiny: to destroy the Ocean and Moon Spirits and end waterbending.
For his loyal service to the military, Zhao was quickly promoted through the ranks and soon became the captain of his own ship. After a decisive victory against an Earth Kingdom vessel, the Fire Lord rewarded Zhao by promoting him to commander of a Fire Navy fleet. However, Zhao's sneaky and ambitious nature caused some people to wonder whether this promotion was honorably earned.[8]
Zhao was one of the witnesses to the Agni Kai between Zuko and Fire Lord Ozai during which Zuko was burned badly and subsequently banished from the Fire Nation. His relish in seeing Zuko suffer showed just how cruel Zhao really was.[9]
A bitter rivalry
In late 99 AG, Zhao was commanding a Fire Nation naval base when Zuko docked his ship and asked for repairs to the damage caused by his battle with the Avatar. Zuko initially told Zhao that the damage was caused by crashing into an Earth Kingdom ship, but Zhao sensed that he was hiding something. He invited a reluctant Zuko and a jolly Iroh to drink tea in his office. However, he secretly had the banished prince's crew interrogated. After the questioning revealed Zuko's encounter with the Avatar, Zhao had Zuko and Iroh confined in his office. He said that the task of capturing the Avatar was too important to entrust to a teenager, and announced his own intentions to capture the Avatar himself. The ambitious commander and wayward prince began a verbal argument, which ended in Zuko challenging Zhao to an Agni Kai. During the battle, Zhao initially had the upper hand, easily parrying the youngster's attacks and launching powerful attacks of his own. However, just as the commander seemed on the verge of victory, Zuko managed to break his stance. Pressing his advantage, Zuko aggressively attacked Zhao, until he had the older man lying on his back. Zuko struggled for a moment with the idea of killing him. Zhao urged him to attack, but Zuko fired a small fire blast at the ground beside his head as a warning, an act which caused Zhao to label him a coward.[2]
As Zuko was walking away from the battle, an enraged Zhao attempted to attack with Zuko's back turned, but was stopped by Iroh. Iroh said that Zhao's behavior in defeat was disgraceful and dishonorable. This event sparked a bitter rivalry between Zuko and Zhao.[2]
Shortly after the Avatar's return to the world, Zhao was commanding a number of Fire Nation ships forming a blockade between Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom waters. During this time, the Avatar tried to cross into Fire Nation territory to reach Roku's temple. Zhao ordered his ships to open fire upon the Avatar with no concern for hitting Zuko's ship, which was in pursuit of the Avatar at the time. Aang managed to pass the blockade, and presuming Zuko knew Aang's destination, Zhao allowed Zuko to pass the blockade and continue pursuing the Avatar. He tracked Zuko's boat to Avatar Roku's temple and, because he had been forbidden from re-entering Fire Nation territory, arrested Zuko along with the Avatar's companions. Aang was within a sealed chamber at the time, and Zhao waited for the Avatar to leave the main chamber to arrest him as well. However, due to Aang's contact with his past life and the spiritual power of the winter solstice, Zhao instead found himself confronted by Roku; Roku freed the prisoners and began destroying the island. Zhao managed to escape, but with no prince or Avatar, he attempted to save face by declaring all of the Fire Sages as traitors, despite their protests that only Shyu helped the Avatar.[10]
Promotion to admiral
Later, Zhao requested that Shinu, a colonel of a Fire Nation fortress in the Earth Kingdom, use the legendary Yuyan Archers to help capture the Avatar. Zhao insisted Shinu was wasting their talents in using them as security guards, but Shinu scoffed that Zhao's hunt for the Avatar was nothing more than a vanity project. However, a message arrived from the Fire Lord promoting Zhao to admiral. Now outranking the colonel, Zhao made his request an order.[3]
Zhao began to use his position to hinder his rival Zuko by blockading the port they were anchored at. Zuko's desperation to return home grew as Zhao's far greater resources gave him an advantage in capturing the Avatar. The Yuyan Archers successfully captured Aang and brought him to the fortress. Confident that the Avatar was defeated, Zhao gave a speech to the soldiers of the fortress forecasting the ultimate Fire Nation victory. Unbeknownst to him, a blue-masked warrior infiltrated the fortress and freed the Avatar. Together, they fought past the guards and escaped to the last gate, where the soldiers managed to corner the two combatants. Zhao ordered the Avatar captured alive, as otherwise he would simply reincarnate and trouble the Fire Nation in a new life, when the Blue Spirit held Aang hostage at sword point. Zhao was forced to give the order to let them pass through the gate. However, he had a Yuyan Archer knock out the thief from long range. Unfortunately for him, Aang escaped, taking the masked warrior with him.[3]
After hearing intelligence reports of the Avatar being seen in a Fire Nation colonial village during a festival, he began searching the nearby rivers. There he confronted his old firebending master Jeong Jeong and proclaimed that living in the wild had reduced his old master to a savage. Jeong Jeong retorted saying that it was Zhao who had embraced savagery, using only the unrestrained destructive side of firebending and ignoring the discipline needed to control it. Jeong Jeong warned Zhao not to confront the Avatar, but Zhao ignored these warnings, arrogantly stating that he could defeat a child. Aang was surprised to learn that Zhao was Jeong Jeong's student, and he used what he learned about Zhao's temper to continually egg the admiral on until Zhao was tricked into destroying a convoy of his own ships, proving his own lack of restraint and focus was against him. Aang managed to escape once again, leaving Zhao brooding over his failings.[6]
Second attempt to capture the Avatar
Zhao eventually found his way to a small Earth Kingdom village on his way up to the North. This town was near one of several traps made by Fire Lord Sozin in order to lure in any surviving Air Nomads who did not die in his genocide. Here, Zhao found a relic merchant and made a deal with him: if he gave an Air Nomad necklace to the Avatar when he passed through and got him interested in going into the mountains and the Air Nomad traps, Zhao would let the merchant take whatever he wanted from the traps. The merchant agreed and, upon the arrival of Aang and his friends, managed to successfully get the young Air Nomad into a mountain cave. There, Zhao and his soldiers revealed themselves and captured Aang. However, Aang put up a fight and Zhao was forced to defend himself. However, the Avatar had the advantage, as he knew how to work the Air Nomad relics, and defeated Zhao with a dorje before fleeing.[11]
Siege of the North and downfall
Later, still chafing from his Agni Kai defeat, Zhao discovered that Zuko was the vigilante thief known as the Blue Spirit. Determined to eliminate further interference, he ordered a group of pirates to engineer an assassination attempt on Prince Zuko, which successfully destroyed his ship but, unbeknownst to Zhao, failed to actually kill the prince. Afterward, he led a large invasion force in a siege of the North Pole, for the dual purposes of capturing the Avatar and destroying the Northern Water Tribe, with Iroh as his military consultant.[12] Fully aware that the waterbenders drew their powers from the moon at night, Zhao attacked during the day, capitalizing on the weakened state of the waterbenders.[13]
On the second day of the siege, Zhao's forces managed to penetrate the city's walls. However, Iroh reminded Zhao that if the Water Tribe was not subdued by the rise of the full moon, the waterbenders would be unstoppable. Watching his forces pushing forward, Zhao simply answered that he was planning to remove the moon as a factor, which disturbed the former general. Zhao and Iroh were briefly interrupted by a disguised Hahn, but the admiral simply grabbed the charging warrior and threw him overboard. Continuing, Zhao explained to Iroh how years prior he had stumbled upon the secret of the Moon Spirit's mortal form in an underground library while serving as a young officer in the Earth Kingdom. Iroh argued with the self-confident admiral, believing that the spirits were not to be trifled with. Nevertheless, Zhao condescendingly said that he had heard of Iroh's journey into the Spirit World, and that the Moon and Ocean Spirits would pay the consequences for giving up their immortality.
Having gained this knowledge about the Ocean and Moon Spirits, he used the assault of his troops as a distraction while he led his men to the Spirit Oasis and captured Tui, the Moon Spirit. This caused both the moon and the sky to turn red, while the waterbending warriors lost their bending abilities. The admiral began to applaud his efforts to fulfill his destiny, knowing that his army was about to secure the city and he was going to be a hero for the Fire Nation. However, Team Avatar and Iroh confronted Zhao and forced him to release the spirit, though, outraged about the idea of being defeated, Zhao suddenly killed the spirit with a fire blast, thus erasing the moon from the sky and negating all waterbending abilities. Iroh attacked Zhao's team in retaliation, causing him to flee from the scene. The slaying of the Moon aroused the anger of La, the Ocean Spirit, who merged with Aang's Avatar Spirit and used incredibly powerful waterbending together to vanquish most, if not all, of Zhao's fleet.[1]
Meanwhile, Zhao made an attempt to escape, but was confronted by Zuko, who sought revenge for Zhao's attempt to murder him. Zhao fought the prince until the moon reappeared in the sky after Princess Yue's sacrifice. Zhao stared up in disbelief before he was grabbed by the Ocean Spirit, which began to pull him into the water. Prideful as he was, Zhao declined Zuko's outstretched hand, deciding he would rather die than accept help from his sworn enemy and was pulled underwater.[1]
The Fog of Lost Souls
Zhao did not perish, but instead ended up in the Spirit World, forced to spend eternity in a place known as the Fog of Lost Souls. There, he spiraled into psychological instability, reveling in his self-proclaimed achievements for over seventy years after his defeat at the Siege of the North. When Tenzin, Kya, and Bumi entered the fog in search of Jinora, Zhao grappled Tenzin, whom he mistook for Aang, in hope of regaining his glory by capturing the Avatar. Having realized Zhao to be delusional, the siblings wrestled him away and left him behind in the fog.[4]
Zhao was a highly ambitious, power-hungry narcissist, noted for his arrogance and bad temper. While serving as a loyal member of the Fire Nation, his every action was ultimately only to serve his own rise in status. His more straightforward villainous nature stood in sharp contrast to that of the conflicted Prince Zuko; while Zuko desired to capture the Avatar to restore his honor and earn the love of his father, Zhao was not motivated by higher ideals and acted only in his own interest, considered simply a "vanity project" by some; in this way, he was similar to Princess Azula.
Although repeatedly deceptive and cunning, Zhao was rather egotistical and selfish, bordering on narcissistic, implying a deep-seated self-worship, as all of his actions seemed to fulfill purposes of grandiosity or overwhelming display: his hate-driven, uncontrollable firebending, his explosive temper, his betrayal of Fire Nation comrades, his disproportionate attack on the Northern Water Tribe, and most starkly, his unquenchable obsession with the removal of the Moon Spirit. In particular, Zhao rationalized his theft – and later, murder – of the Moon Spirit as "destiny", and relished over stealing it, ecstatically proclaiming himself as a "legend", even suggesting several epithets that the people would call him in the future for his accomplishment: "Zhao the Conqueror", "Zhao the Moon Slayer", and "Zhao the Invincible".[1]
This arrogance was ultimately realized in his final act, as his refusal to accept Zuko's helping hand[1] led to his imprisonment in the Fog of Lost Souls, where he descended into madness, continuing to mutter his self-made titles and mistaking Tenzin for Aang.[4]
Zhao was a skilled firebending master. In his youth, he studied under Jeong Jeong; he was one of the master's best students, but ultimately his greatest failure. Jeong Jeong tried to teach Zhao that the heart of firebending was controlling and limiting the dangerous destructive power of fire, but Zhao did not listen, and only focused on learning the destructive techniques. While this led him to develop very strong moves, he was easily overcome by his emotions and lost control. This was demonstrated when, while facing Aang, he burned three of his own riverboats while Aang avoided his blasts with agility.[6]
When he dueled with Prince Zuko, he easily blocked Zuko's relatively strong attacks and responded with his own. Zhao was clearly on the verge of victory until Zuko broke his footing, upon his uncle's advice, and defeated him.[2] He was able to fire many large blasts of fire at Aang without tiring. These blasts seemed larger than normal and he was not shown to charge before firing them.[6] Shortly before his death, he was able to fight evenly with Zuko and his improved skills until their battle was interrupted by La.[1]
Other skills
Zhao was a highly skilled military strategist, enough so that he managed to secure a promotion to admiral. He demonstrated his cunning ability to tap human resources on many occasions, such as allying himself with pirates to try and kill Zuko, or making patriotic speeches to engender support toward him among Fire Nation soldiers.[3] His Siege of the North demonstrated his ability to muster large forces and use deceptive means to overtake the enemy.[12][13] His knowledge of common tactics also benefited him greatly; Zhao discerned Zuko's strategy to use a smoke-screen to throw him off his trail.[10] Zhao made use of the highly skilled Yuyan Archers to capture the Avatar, demonstrating his mastery of allocated efficiency.[3] He also demonstrated strength and unarmed fighting skill, as evidenced by when he was able to deflect spears thrown at him by Lin Yee,[6] and when he parried Hahn's assassination attempt with seemingly no effort.[1]

- In an interview on IGN, Michael Dante DiMartino said that the character of Zhao was originally inspired by Jason Isaacs' performance as a villain in The Patriot. DiMartino asked his casting director to get "someone like" Isaacs for the role, and she managed to get the actual person.
- In another IGN interview, Isaacs said that he was told when recording the role to "be yourself, but be your American self".
- "The Siege of the North, Part 2" with "Avatar Extras" bonus commentary stated that, "Zhao has a pretty messed up destiny", namely killing the Moon Spirit.
- Zhao served as the secondary villain in Book One, a role similar to that of Long Feng and Combustion Man in Book Two and Book Three, respectively.
- Zhao's series of promotions, from Captain to Commander to Admiral, was somewhat backward. In traditional naval ranking, it should go from Commander to Captain to Admiral. The rank of Commander can be interpreted to resemble the real-world ranks of Commodore and Rear Admiral, since Zhao commanded multiple ships, such as the Fire Navy blockade.
- "Avatar Extras" claimed that Zhao was well known for his bad balance.
- "Avatar Extras" stated that when Zhao received his promotion to Admiral, he stayed up all night celebrating it.
- Even after he was promoted to admiral, the credits still listed him as "Commander Zhao". This remained so even in The Legend of Korra, eight years after his final speaking appearance in the original series. However, this was corrected on the credits of the DVD release of "The Siege of the North, Part 2".
- Despite his major role in Book One, Zhao was never shown on screen afterward except for "The Library" and was not directly mentioned again until "The Western Air Temple".
- In The Last Airbender, he was not killed by the Ocean Spirit, but by a group of Water Tribe warriors.
- "Avatar Extras" stated that Zhao hated snow.
- Zhao shares his name with the ancient state of Zhao in the Warring States period of China. Notably, the state of Zhao was well known for its cruel, but also cunning and successful generals as well its aggressive expansionism, traits admiral Zhao also possesses. Notably, the state of Zhao also began rather weak and insignificant, like Zhao began his career as mere soldier, but eventually rose to one of the mightiest states of China just like Zhao became a high admiral and leading military of the Fire Nation.
- Zhao also shares a name with Chinese general Zhao Kuangyin, the military leader responsible for the foundation of the Song Dynasty. Kuangyin was immensely interested in procuring books and knowledge from conquered lands rather than actual territory, similar to how Zhao craved knowledge from the scrolls of Wan Shi Tong's Library.

- "Looper" is a hit-man thriller with a time travel conceit
- Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis play younger and older versions of the same character
- "Looper's" excellent supporting cast includes Emily Blunt, Jeff Daniels and Noah Segan
(CNN) -- If you saw Joseph Gordon-Levitt in "Premium Rush" or "The Dark Knight Rises" this summer, you will be surprised at how different he looks in "Looper," a hit-man thriller with a time travel conceit.
Gordon-Levitt looks older and more mature somehow: with a high forehead, a more pronounced nose and a way of pursing his lips in a faintly ironic scowl. The reasons for his makeover become apparent when his character, Joe, comes face to face with his older self, played by Bruce Willis: higher forehead, same nose, same scowl.
It's enough to put even the sharpest hit man (or "looper") off his aim. And Old Joe gets away, which is a problem, because if Young Joe doesn't rectify the situation and fulfill his contract, he won't qualify for the 30-year retirement plan that's allowed Old Joe such a long and fruitful life. They'll both be cut off in their prime.
The first film in four years from "Brick" and "Brothers Bloom" writer-director Rian Johnson, "Looper" is a smart suspense movie. It's essentially a low-tech variation on themes from "The Terminator" but ingenious enough to feel fresh, intriguing and even bewildering at times.
Most flicks are so predictable, you could set your watch by them ... if you still had a watch (Joe has a silver pocket watch, but he's a slave to retro fashion). Johnson adopts an arrestingly bold and unusual structure, introducing two major characters an hour in and employing telekinesis when it seems the time travel thing is getting old.
But his readiness to make us stretch should not blind us to the fact that "Looper" is full of holes: time holes, holes for corpse disposal, and enough plot holes to fill a leaky bucket. It is set, confusingly, 30 years from now, in a low-budget future that looks like a more broken down version of our present (give or take a few flying motor vehicles).
Time travel has not been invented, but in another 30 years, it will be -- that is, in 2070 -- and the Mob has taken to sending their marked men back in time to be dispatched by loopers and disposed of in Joe's less-regimented present.
Confused? You will be.
It doesn't matter. It doesn't even matter that nobody thought to make Gordon-Levitt's earlobes resemble Willis' (if you've seen "The Imposter," you'll know that's a dead giveaway). It's fun being flummoxed, and Johnson has a knack for pulling off short, snappy scenes that keep the drama percolating (the excellent supporting cast, including Emily Blunt, Jeff Daniels and Noah Segan, also helps).
Yes, it's a B movie sci-fi thriller, but not many prestige pictures have this much going on underneath the surface.

Tahoe Snowkiting . Spots and advice please.
Winter snowkiting topics and locations.
Moderator: BayAreaKite
It looks like tomorrow might be a great day to snowkite. I'm planning on going to the north shore, so Martis Meadows or Tahoe Meadows (Mt Rose) are the spots I plan to be at. If there's no wind or it's inconsistant, then I'll probably hit the resort for half-day. Pondering going south shore as well... Grass lake or Hope. If anyone is down to meet up and join me, shoot me a PM tonight.
For what should be epic snowkiting, consider joining us in Utah for the US Snowkite Masters event on the weekend on March 1 & 2. Several of us are going and it should be great conditions and lots of fun.
https://www.bayareakiteboarding.com/abou ... t=snowkite
I am going up to tahoe this weekend and I am going to bring my kite. I have a 2.5 meter kite. It is only 2 lines, but I was wondering if when it is reversed if I could turn the bar once over and pull to one side to bring it up?
Downhiller I have to let You know that Your kite is useless in Tahoe conditions. You will have to use depower there as winds R usually very gusty and minimum size should be 8m. As far as conditions on grass lake We have now melted snow that is frozen so get ready for tough traction unless We will get few inches of snow.As far as depth it probably is now more than 6'.From highway it looks very shinny in sun and worm Tahoe days. We will go to Utah as well with few friends.That is event You don't want to miss for sure.
1st Annual Lake Tahoe Snowkite Demo Day
The First Annual Lake Tahoe Snowkite Demo Day is scheduled for March 8th from 12-4 at the Mt Rose Meadows. Sponsored by Tahoe Mountain Sports, Ozone, and Slingshot, participants will have the chance to try all the new gear, get some free lessons, and talk to other snowkiters from around the region. For those new to snowkiting, start with an introduction to snowkiting group lesson then put up a trainer kite and start practicing. Experienced snowkiters can try out the latest and greatest kites like the Ozone Access XC, Frenzy, and Manta and the Slingshot Ranger and hopefully some Revs.
We will also be offerring a advanced snowkite clinic with Ozone Team Rider Ken Lucas. The cost for this will be $50 for a two hour clinic and preregistration is required.
We will also have all the Ozone and Slingshot kites, Ozone XC harness, and the Mystic Blazer harness for demo and sale. We would like to encourage folks to make a whole weekend out of it and go riding as a group on Sunday if there is good wind. We have a ton of spots to choose from including some that have been recently scoped and not talked about yet.
The entire event is free and open to the public although participants must sign a liability waiver before using any equipment. For more information and directions to Mount Rose Meadows go to www.TahoeMountainSports.com
Anyone gonna be up for some kiting this weekend... as of now Sunday looks hopeful. NE winds are forecast in S. Lake according to iKitesurf. But who knows, I think winter wind forecasting is pretty unpredictable.
But if it does hold true, I'm thinking the meadow in the keys (close to my ski lease) might have some steadier winds coming from the lake... anyway pm or e-mail me if you are gonna be out there. Would love some company.

The Wright Institute School-Based Collaboration (SBC)
The goal of the SBC is to foster academic achievement and healthy development by providing trauma-informed, culturally competent, evidence-based psychological services to children and their families in public school settings. SBC focuses on small, high-need schools in the Oakland and West Contra Costa Unified School Districts. Clients are predominantly low-income children of color attending underfunded schools in neighborhoods with high levels of violence, racism, and poverty.
In 2013-2014, SBC is providing services at Life Academy, Urban Promise Academy, Manzanita SEED Elementary and EnCompass Academy in Oakland, and Gompers Continuation High School in Richmond.
Wright Institute graduate students provide a range of services, including individual and group work with children, family consultation, assessment, parent/community engagement, and teacher consultation. SBC also provides teacher psycho-education and support with information on: the impact of trauma and vicarious trauma on learning; the need for teacher self-care; and peer consultation regarding classroom behavioral issues.
In addition to providing mental health intervention, SBC aims to promote healthy development, foster resilience in the face of trauma and other stressors, and build a positive classroom and school culture.
The SBC's clinical approach to the schools is informed by the recognition that traumatic stress is one of the most important non-academic barriers to learning faced by clients. The Attachment Regulation Competence (ARC) intervention framework is based on the research of Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, and applies an understanding of traumatic stress to work with individual clients and the entire school. Group interventions focus on prevention by enabling students to build life-enhancing skills, such as forming positive relationships, resolving conflicts, and making positive life decisions.
The SBC provides its services to clients free of charge and without requiring Medi-Cal eligibility. This allows SBC to serve all children who are in need of services, regardless of their financial situation, immigration status, or other demographic factors.
SBC is supported in part by fees paid by the schools, and by the generous contributions of the Irene S. Scully Family Foundation, the Children's Support league, the June & Julian Foss Foundation, Chevron Corporation, and the Kaiser Foundation.

"I am very grateful that I was placed in SBC my first year. Through their training, I was able to embark on my journey to become a multiculturally sensitive, compassionate, and thoughtful clinician who is able to work effectively and confidently with diverse populations. I hope to take all my training and experience from SBC and use the skills and newly acquired knowledge to serve underprivileged populations and bring justice to those who do not have a voice."
"I appreciated the opportunity to dive into counseling within a school setting, and especially the chance to practice my skills at working with the children, their parents, and the team of teachers and staff within my clients' educational world. I valued the emphasis that was placed on gaining proficiency in working with families coming from very different backgrounds from my own... I am grateful for the foundational training and experience it afforded me."

Vancouver, WA — Several events in what has already been a busy 2008 for Nautilus Inc. factored into the company's first-quarter loss of $6.4 million, which the company announced last month.
Nautilus executives blamed the loss on two one-time charges — an $8 million charge for canceling the purchase of the Chinese company Land America Health and Fitness and the $2.4 million in severance paid to former CEO Robert Falcone in March. The $69.4 million earned by the company last month for the sale of its apparel business Pearl iZumi put Nautilus in a $7 million net cash position, but because the sale occurred in the second quarter, the revenue won't count until second-quarter financials are released.
"Our balance sheet is stronger than it was at the end of the [first] quarter because we've now sold Pearl iZumi and paid off our debt as a result," Edward Bramson, the new chairman and CEO of Nautilus, said in a conference call with analysts after the release of the financials. "I think the earnings, while they're not good in the first quarter, might be a little better than had been expected if you make allowance for the two one-time items we've announced."
As it stands, Nautilus lost $6.4 million, or 20 cents per share, in first quarter 2008 compared to a net income of $2.5 million, or 8 cents per share, in first quarter 2007. On a continuing operations basis, Nautilus lost $6.9 million, or 22 cents per share, in first quarter 2008 compared to a loss of $100,000, or less than a penny per share, in first quarter 2007.
Total operating expenses increased to $64.2 million from $61.8 million, and net sales fell to $129.6 million from $137 million. Bill Meadowcroft, Nautilus' chief financial officer, said on the call that the uncertain consumer environment will continue to affect the company in the second quarter, which he added is usually the company's weakest quarter.
Bramson, however, is encouraged by the company's retail business.
"The retail business is principally cardio. It's what the customers want," said Bramson, a partner with Sherborne Investors, the group that owns 23.5 percent of Nautilus stock and won four of the seven board positions in the company's December board election. "We've been feeding more cardio product to them, and that's what is really driving the sales growth."
Nautilus' board of directors has authorized a share repurchase program for the sale of up to $10 million of the company's common stock. Bramson was asked on the call if he was able to buy more Nautilus stock.
"I'd have to see if I have any money left," Bramson joked before adding, "[Sherborne Investors] have to comply with the closed periods as any employee of the company would. We're free to [buy more stock], but whether we will or not is a different issue."
Last month, Nautilus re-organized into three stand-alone business units: direct, commercial and retail. These business units and Nautilus International will report to Tim Joyce, senior vice president and general manager of Nautilus Inc. The direct business unit will be led by Vice President and General Manager Bill McMahon. The retail business unit will be led by Vice President and General Manager Jon Levin. The commercial business unit will be led by Vice President and General Manager Ken Fish.

WIG179 | Released: 12/04/06
In the autumn of 2003, Domino Records celebrated its tenth anniversary by releasing Worlds Of Possibility. This budget-priced two-disc compilation was one of those sampler sets, like Cherry Red's "Pillows & Prayers", SST's "The Blasting Concept" or Warp's "Artificial Intelligence", which seem to capture not just the spirit but the soul of a great independent label. The manner in which this bold declaration of faith in the future was to be rewarded would surpass the expectations (worlds of possibility indeed!) of the most deluded optimist. That one of the up and coming bands on that second disc - Glaswegian glam-disco tyros Franz Ferdinand would go on to sell upwards of five million albums around the world over the next two years was remarkable enough. That they would pave the way for the record-breaking exploits of a certain quartet of Sheffield teenagers (whose name we won't mention here, aware as we are of their terrible fear of the limelight) was more remarkable still. But the most remarkable thing of all was the way Domino Records responded to this dramatic and potentially fatal - upturn in its commercial fortunes. It did a revolutionary thing which independent labels have tried and failed to do in this situation ever since the first one climbed out of the primordial ooze onto the bottom rungs of the ladder of chart success. It didn't change a bit. It carried on releasing bold and innovative records by a wide range of artists. It carried on giving talented people the freedom to make exactly the kind of music they wanted to, and releasing it in stylish but environmentally uncontentious packages. And if you want to know what Domino have been up to while every other record company in Britain has been frantically flashing its cheque-book at any band which sounds a bit like those Arctic Monkeys (oops, sorry lads), well here's the perfect chance to find out.
Catch Us If You Can is a fourteen track selection box for your listening delectation. Some of it is current. Some of it is imminent. And some of it was just getting ready to settle in the memory, like the sediment in a delicious bottle of organic ginger-beer. 56 minutes and 29 seconds of upper-echelon envelope-pushing. If you like it all, you're Domino c-in-c Laurence Bell. If you don't like any of it, there's something seriously wrong with you. (Ben Thompson, March 2006)

When do you need a Sleep Study?
In most cases, a physician will prescribe a sleep study to improve your quality of care and life. Ask yourself the following questions:
If you or someone you know answers yes to one or more of the above, you may have a sleep problem that requires medical treatment. Call the Health First Sleep Center at 321-868-5832. It's time to get a good night's sleep.
Common Issues Causing Sleep Problems
The most common disorder, and one that can seriously affect your health, is sleep apnea. Apnea is when you stop breathing for at least ten seconds while you're sleeping and can occur up to hundreds of times per night. Usually, you don't know it's happening, but often your spouse or a family member has observed you snoring and gasping—two common symptoms of apnea. During apneas, your body—especially your heart—is deprived of adequate oxygen. If it's caused by an obstruction, you struggle to breathe and eventually wake up, usually without recalling it, in order to reestablish breathing. Increased blood pressure and irregular heartbeats are often associated with apnea.
Paying for Sleep Center Services
Health First has contracts with a number of managed care organizations including
Should you have any questions or concerns about which insurers and provider networks Health First Sleep Center has entered into a contractual relationship with, please call us at 321-868-5832.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan on Feb. 11 offered three options for shrinking Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC), the bailed-out housing finance companies that own or guarantee more than half the nation's mortgage debt. By gradually reducing the dominant positions of Fannie and Freddie, the officials hope to coax private financial firms and bond traders to take on more of the U.S. mortgage market's risk and revive the secondary market for home loans. One government misstep, and a shortage of home loan money could send loan costs soaring and home prices tumbling. "We want to be careful that the process happens in a way that doesn't interfere with or impede the process of repair in the housing market," Geithner said.

Photo by Jeff Clarke "I just love the place. And that's the reason I support it. It's as simple as that," said Dave Mullin '53, about his connection to Saint Michael's. He was one of five alumni named Alums of the Year for their respective classes at the Awards Brunch held on campus at Reunion 2013 on June 8th. Angela Armour '99, Saint Michael's director of alumni and parent relations, presented the honors to David Mullin '53, Walter Baumann '63, Eileen O'Rourke '83, Jeffrey LaBonte '98, and Gavin O'Shea '93. David M. Mullin '53, a resident of Darmariscotta, Maine, was presented the award with the opening, "Hi Ya, Pal!" Ms. Armour explained that "that is the familiar greeting of longtime Saint Michael's supporter and volunteer Dave Mullin," who she said "has been one of our go-to guys from the Class of '53 since the day he graduated, always giving back to the College in any way he can." After a long successful career, he retired as national sales director of Newsweek and moved to Damariscotta, Maine. He was president of his senior class at Saint Michael's, served on the student council, and was a member of the college's widely respected debate team. After graduation, he was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the Army. Dave Mullin served from 2009 to 2013 as a director on the SMC Alumni Association's Board of Directors, and worked hard to increase alumni engagement, volunteering and financial participation. He was instrumental in creating the Career Symposium, an annual event that brings alumni from around the country to campus to talk to students about their chosen career field, and he worked on the college's first-ever Tuition Runs Out Day event, designed to educate students about the importance of giving back as alumni. A tireless ambassador for Saint Michael's, Dave Mullin was cited for his work as co-chair of his 15th reunion, his 50th reunion, and his 60th reunion this year. Dave and his late wife, Margie, have two daughters, Mary and Judy, who accompanied him to the Awards Brunch. Walter E. Baumann '63 was inducted into the realms of the Golden Knights as well as being named Alumnus of the Year for his class. He was not only a standout Saint Michael's basketball player but he received the Roger Keleher Award, as the top male scholar-athlete with the highest grade point average in his graduating class. He was named an All-America honorable mention, All-Catholic player and ECAC All-East after scoring 758 points in three basketball seasons. He returned to Saint Michael's as an assistant athletic director and assistant coach of the men's basketball program, 1968-1972, and led the team to the New England Division II Tournament each of his first two seasons. He then became assistant head coach from 1972-79. He was inducted into Saint Michael's Athletic Hall of Fame in 1991. He will be inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame this year. Mr. Baumann chaired his 35th college reunion and for served on the 40th anniversary committee in 2003. He was "unofficial counsel" to the Athletic Department through periods of transition and a mentor to all of Saint Michael's basketball coaches. Before retiring, Walter was self-employed as an independent liquor broker. He and his wife, Katherine, have four children and eight grandchildren. Eileen E. O'Rourke '83 was named alumnus of the year for her class. She earned her MBA at Le Moyne College in Syracuse and has worked in Human Resources for most of her career. She has been an HR executive at several corporations, currently for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington. She also owns her own company, HR 4 Sight, LLC. Ms. O'Rourke has been a very active alumna since graduating, serving a four-year term on the Alumni Association's Board of Directors, 2004-2008, and as a member of the board's Career Development subcommittee. She worked to expand participation in the Career Advisory Network, while increasing internship opportunities and paid summer employment for current students. Ms. O'Rourke assisted the college's Career Development Office as a practice interviewer and mentor to students as they embark on job searches. She has also served on important search committees on campus. She co-chaired her 25th Reunion in 2008 and her 30th this year. She's been a long-time benefactor of the College and a President's Medallion Society member for the past six years. An avid golfer, Ms. O'Rourke plays in the Green Mountain Scholar Golf Classic each year. She also serves on the board of St. Ann's Shrine in Isle La Motte, Vermont. Gavan O'Shea '93 of Louisville, KY, was named Alumnus of the Year for his class. Mr. O'Shea, a human resources professional, is employed by Human Resources Research Organization. He was named "Outstanding Graduating Psychology Major" at Saint Michael's in 1993. He earned a master's degree from Villanova and a Ph.D. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from Virginia Tech. Mr. O'Shea has always been a major supporter of Saint Michael's College. As a student he was a member of the Student Association, the service organization MOVE, the Peace and Justice Club, Amnesty International and The Defender newspaper. He also studied abroad in Cork Ireland, where, Ms. Armour said, "he likely felt right at home." He served on the Alumni Association Board of Directors from 2005-2011, first as a two-year club representative and then for a four-year director's position. He was part of the board committee that created the Career Symposium, an annual event that brings alumni from across the country to campus to speak to students about their chosen career field. He served as a panelist at the first Symposium in 2009. He co-chaired the Greater Washington, D.C. Alumni Club for six years, planning numerous events, and he orchestrated local service projects, working to clean up trails on Roosevelt Island, clearing up the grounds at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, and volunteering at Walter Reed Medical Center. Most recently, Gavan O'Shea has been working with the College's Admissions Office to recruit students from his new home in Louisville.

Northwestern Medical Enterprise Data Warehouse
The Northwestern Medical Enterprise Data Warehouse is based at Northwestern University (http://northwestern.edu) and supports the Northwestern Memorial Hospital (http://nmh.org) and Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation (http://www.nmff.org) to provide data analytics to the Northwestern community for healthcare operations, clinical quality, and healthcare research. The EDW is used by the three different corporations, each of which has a distinct culture ranging from jeans/t-shirts to pin stripe suits. We're using the EDW both to advance medical science and change the course of patient care as well as to ensure that patients are receiving the best possible care.
The primary audience will be internal to the Northwestern community, comprised of doctors, nurses, researchers, and staff who further the mission of Northwestern's medical campus. We also have a national face, giving multiple presentations at conferences.
We're looking for an elegant logo (though elegant should be interpreted as "simple and eye-catching" not stodgy) that we can have on all marketing materials, website, business cards, as well as all products that come out of the EDW such as reports, presentations, and applications. We're called the Northwestern Medical Enterprise Data Warehouse, but most people refer to us as the EDW, so incorporating those letters would be preferred. Because we're part of Northwestern University, it would be good to incorporate the NU purple color (http://northwestern.edu). If another color is desired, a good choice would be "NMH blue" (http://nmh.org), but that's certainly not required.
Have fun with it!

The Crimson fell in three sets at Springfield Wednesday (Gil Talbot).
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The Harvard men's volleyball team lost a 3-0 decision to Springfield Wednesday night at Blake Arena. The Pride won the match 25-18, 25-21, 25-14, to drop the Crimson to 7-9 on the season.
The Crimson never could find its footing in the match, as the Pride used extended runs to keep Harvard at bay in each set. Springfield used a 7-2 run in the opening set, along with a .524 hitting percentage to take the opening set. The Pride's Alberto Bravo recorded seven of his match-high 16 kills in the first set.
Harvard kept the early part of the second set close. Michael Owen converted a service ace to tie the set at 11-11, but the Pride offense continued its success, tallying 15 kills to the Crimson's nine to go up two sets. Harvard would only hit four kills in the third set, as the Pride used a 10-2 run to take a 16-7 advantage. It was all Springfield needed to take the third set and the match.
Matt Jones led the Crimson with nine kills.
New York University will visit Cambridge Friday as the Crimson look to get back into the win column. The match is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

"Driving while texting, emailing or talking on the phone aren't perceived as egregious behaviors despite overwhelming scientific evidence of the serious crash risk these behaviors pose. The 'do as I say, not as I do' attitude is prevalent throughout much of the driving public." – Peter Kissinger, president and CEO, AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety
Here's a discouraging point in the debate surrounding distracted driving: no one seems willing to practice what they preach. That at least is what the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety discovered as part of its 2010 Traffic Safety Culture Index.
The group's study found that a majority of drivers (62%) feel that talking on a cell phone is a very serious threat to safety, but they do not always behave accordingly or believe that others share these views. In fact, nearly 70% of those surveyed admitted to talking on their phones and 24% said they read or sent text messages or emails while driving in the previous month.
Well now! Those kinds of details don't bode well for U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood's efforts to combat distracted driving behaviors, now do they?
Sure, Secretary LaHood announced at this week's national "Distracted Driving Summit" that he is initiating a new rulemaking to prohibit commercial truck drivers from texting while transporting hazardous materials. In addition, he noted two rules proposed at last year's summit are now the "law of the land," such as banning commercial bus and truck drivers from texting on the job while restricting train operators from using cell phones and other electronic devices while in the driver's seat.
"We are taking action on a number of fronts to address the epidemic of distracted driving in America," LaHood noted. "With the help of the experts, policymakers, and safety advocates we've assembled here, we are going to do everything we can to put an end to distracted driving and save lives."
Well, it's good to put rules in place prohibiting cell phone use and texting by commercial drivers, but then they are professionals – what they are doing behind the wheel is a job, and most folks follow the rules closely while working.
When you leave the office environment, though, things change – especially for everyday motorist. And it is the everyday motorist that often is the initial cause of truck-car crashes.
The AAA Foundation's own research noted this in a report it crafted back in 2005 with the help of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). That study found that in 73% of the truck-car crashes studied, no unsafe act on the part of the truck driver caused the accident.
Other crash data showed that car drivers are four times more likely to rear end a truck than truckers are to rear end cars; are 10 times more likely to crash into a truck head on than vice versa; are three times more likely to speed in poor road conditions (such as rain) than truck drivers; and are eight times more likely to be involved in crashes involving drowsiness than truckers.
Now, add in the salient fact that most motorists – even though fully aware of the dangers posed by distracted driving – by and large aren't changing their behavior behind the wheel when it comes to texting or cell phone usage. That doesn't bode well when big hopes are being pinned to the this effort to stamp out "distracted driving."
And let's not kid ourselves, either – so-called 'distracted driving" causes crashes; a lot of them. In 2009, nearly 5,500 people died and half a million were injured in crashes involving a distracted driver, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), with distraction-related fatalities representing 16% of overall traffic fatalities in 2009.
It's easy to see how distraction can lead to vehicle crashes, too. Just take research conducted by Ralph Craft, then a senior transportation specialist for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) Office of Analysis back in 2008.
According to his findings, the most common critical events that cause crashes are running out of the travel lane, crossing through intersections or hitting a vehicle stopped in the lane. Craft said that the four most common critical reasons for these events—non-performance due to factors such as sickness or sleepiness; inattention or recognition; poor decision-making and overcompensation—all relate to the driver and not the vehicle.
"Sixteen of the 24 [most common crash] factors relate to the drivers and not the vehicle," Craft said in a conference call with reporters two years ago. "There's plenty of blame for large trucks, buses and passenger vehicles in crashes, but the 'causative' factors lie mainly with drivers … the vehicle issues are secondary."
He added – and this is important – that it's hard to do much about some of these causes.
"It's very difficult to legislate many of these factors," Craft said. "Can we make it a crime to be distracted? We need to do more research in human behavior and do things above and beyond what we can legislate … we want to find the factors that FMCSA can do something about, through research and education."
Now, let's return to the AAA Foundation's 2010 Traffic Safety Culture Index study. Here, in plain sight, are some of the hurdles the Department of Transportation's (DOT) distracted driving campaign must overcome:
• Motorists rated distracted driving behaviors as some of the most serious threats to their safety, yet many admitted to distracted behaviors like talking on the cell phone or texting or e-mailing while driving;
• Nearly 90% identify texting or e-mailing while driving as a very serious threat and 80% would support a law banning it;
• Nine out of ten people personally consider texting or emailing while driving unacceptable and two-thirds indicated that they would lose some respect for a friend who they saw engaging in those activities while driving;
• However, nearly a quarter of all those surveyed said they had read or sent a text or e-mail while driving in the last month;
• However, nearly 70% of all those surveyed admitted talking on phone while driving in the past month.
Now, the DOT thinks strong laws coup0led with strong enforcement can help in reduce distracted driving. Indeed, NHTSA released interim data from its pilot enforcement programs currently underway in Hartford, CT, and Syracuse, NY, this week showing success with this approach.
Dubbed "Phone in One Hand, Ticket in the Other," the year-long pilot campaigns were launched in April to test whether increased law enforcement efforts combined with public service announcements can succeed in getting distracted drivers to put down their cell phones and focus on the road.
During two week-long periods of stepped up enforcement to date, police in Hartford have written approximately 4,956 tickets and Syracuse police have issued 4,446 tickets for violations involving drivers talking or texting on cell phones, NHTSA said.
Also, before and after each enforcement wave, NHTSA said it conducted observations of driver cell phone use and collected public awareness surveys at driver licensing offices in each test and comparison site. Based on these observations and surveys, hand-held cell phone use has dropped 56% in Hartford and 38% in Syracuse to date, with texting while driving declining 68% in Hartford and 42% in Syracuse.
"Good laws are important, but we know from past efforts to curb drunk driving and promote seatbelts that enforcement is the key," said LaHood. "Our pilot programs in Syracuse and Hartford are critical pieces of our overall effort to get people to realize distracted driving is dangerous and wrong. I want to commend the police in Hartford and Syracuse for their excellent work keeping our roads safe and serving as a model for other communities."
"Motor vehicle crashes suddenly, prematurely and violently end the lives of tens of thousands of Americans each year – killing more of our children, teens and young adults than any other single cause," added AAA foundation's Kissinger. "Using a phone while driving increases your risk of being in a crash fourfold due to the physical, visual and mental distractions."
But until people start changing their behavior, that risk shall remain. And if the AAA Foundation's data tells us anything, motorists aren't changing their behavior in terms of texting and cell phone use when behind the wheel in significant numbers yet.

EPA Accord Will Help Assess Fuel Contamination At LMM
By Jose L. Carmona of Caribbean Business
April 10, 2003
In a unique action under federal hazardous waste law, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 is requiring a wide-scale environmental assessment of a major airport.
Under an agreement with EPA, the Puerto Rico Ports Authority and Allied Aviation Services of Puerto Rico, Esso Standard Oil Company (Puerto Rico), BP Products North America, Inc., Shell Company (Puerto Rico) Ltd. and Texaco Puerto Rico have agreed to investigate soils and ground water potentially contaminated with jet fuel at the Luis Muñoz Marin (LMM) International Airport in Carolina.
In addition, the Ports Authority will conduct an assessment of the underground jet fuel storage and delivery system. The airport is surrounded by ecologically sensitive mangrove lagoons and beaches.
"This agreement goes beyond the cleanup of a single facility. It shows how government and industry can work together to meet the new environmental challenges posed by our aging airports," said EPA Regional Administrator Jane M. Kenny. "This agreement is also a wake-up call to those airports that have not already taken steps to prevent such contamination. It gives notice that EPA will do everything in its power to ensure that our airports are operated in an environmentally safe manner."
Under the agreement, the investigation will focus on measuring the contamination from jet fuel at the 1,000-acre airport and its vicinity, as well as identifying leaks in miles of underground pipes, valves and pumps.
Leaks in the fuel system will be detected using pressure testing. The investigation will begin this fall. EPA does not anticipate it will disrupt airplane service at the airport.
The agreement also requires that actions be taken if contamination posing a threat to human health or the environment is found. Once the work under the agreement is completed and the extent of the contamination is known, EPA will require appropriate cleanup.
EPA will oversee the comprehensive investigation, required under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the nation's primary law regulating solid and hazardous waste.
The LMM airport has been in operation since the 1950s and serves as the major commercial airport for Puerto Rico as well as an international hub for Caribbean and Central American air traffic. Most of the aviation jet fuel used at the airport arrives through an underground pipeline from the bulk fuel terminals in Cataño.
The aviation jet fuel is stored in aboveground tanks at fuel farms at the airport and distributed to individual airline terminals through a pressurized, pneumatically operated underground piping and hydrant system that was installed in 1954.
EPA sought public input on the agreement during a 30-day comment period and held a public information session in Carolina on January 23, 2003, at which it explained the agreement.
