Wednesday, February 20, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — For those looking at the big picture, the win by the Portsmouth High School girls basketball team on Tuesday put it in the driver's seat for a second-place finish in Division II.
The Clippers will clinch second place if they win their regular-season finale here against Souhegan on Friday, a scenario opened up wide by Windham (13-4) losing to Pembroke on Tuesday. They can't finish worse than third.
The basket by Turgeon would be the only one of the quarter by St. Thomas, which trailed 26-14 at halftime.
Hardly a lights-out shooting team, the Clippers like to manufacture easy points with their defensive pressure, but had a tough time doing that Tuesday. Now, with one game left against Souhegan, they'd like to get their house in order before the playoffs begin next week. In Division II this winter it's been Lebanon (17-0) and then everyone else. |

"I cowered," she told CNN's Meredith Artley. The shooter "must have shot a hundred rounds."
Responding police officers helped evacuate the children, telling them to hold hands and keep their eyes closed to the carnage as they exited the building.
As reports of the shooting surfaced, frantic parents descended on a nearby firehouse where the children had been taken.
"Why? Why?" one woman wailed as she walked up a wooded roadway leading from the school.
Police declined to speculate on a motive Friday evening, citing the ongoing investigation. Lanza had no known criminal record, a law enforcement official said.
Alex Israel, a former classmate of Lanza's, described him as "quiet" and "reserved."
"You could definitely tell he was a genius," Israel told CNN, adding she hadn't talked with him since middle school. "He was really quiet, he kept to himself."
Three weapons were recovered from the school: a semi-automatic .223 Bushmaster found in a car in the school parking lot, and a Glock and a Sig Sauer found with Lanza's body, a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation said. The weapons were legally purchased by Lanza's mother, the official said.
The official said Lanza died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Lt. J. Paul Vance of the Connecticut State Police said that the medical examiner will determine the cause of death for the gunman, though he noted that police never discharged their weapons.
In addition to the killings at Sandy Hook, another adult was found dead at a second location in Newtown, Vance said. A law enforcement source with detailed knowledge of the investigation identified that person as Lanza's mother, Nancy.

NEWTOWN — Parents are asking the Board of Education to consider their most "prized possessions" when considering this year's budget.
Members of the Board of Education met with the community Tuesday night and heard concerns on school safety, with parents calling for armed security guards at all elementary schools.
Amy Rohmen, who has children in elementary school, says she is working with a group to research the importance of putting security officers in all schools.
Rohmen expressed her concern that the elementary schools are the only ones without officers. "The high school, middle school and intermediate schools all have officers, it's time we put them in our elementary schools," she said.
She said having an armed resource officer will slow down a dangerous situation. She also feels it's important to have a resource officer to talk with students about public safety.
Superintendent Janet Robinson also presented the board with her proposed budget for the 2013-14 school year.
Part of Robinson's budget calls for an increase in security guards in public schools. "We are suggesting an addition of eight security guards," she said. Each security guard costs $20,650, which is a total of $165,200.
While board members agreed an increase in security is needed, some were focused on the present.
Board member Laura Roche asked what could be done right now. "I was at a school basketball game the other night and thought there could be an increase of security," she said.
Roche suggested using some of the funds that had been set up for the town. "We may not have enough security right now and right now is what we need," she said. Robinson was unsure of the amount in the funds. Continued...
Schools' video camera surveillance policies were amended for better observation purposes and the "real time" surveillance now allows for police officers to monitor school activity in their cars. Administrators in charge of the "buzzer system" will be able to monitor those entering through the parking lot.
Another parent said an officer inside his car a few blocks away won't be much help in a dangerous situation. "We need someone there now," he said.

MONROE, Mich. (AP) — Gleishya Morales nearly tore up the track during a recent vehicle simulator exercise on texting and driving at the Monroe Township Fire Station.
While driving a golf cart owned by the Michigan State Police, she drove over a couple of orange cones and dragged another.
"Ooops, I should have kept my eyes on the road more," said Morales, who turns 16 next month. "My life is way more important than answering a text."
She was not the only one who trashed the course during an open house hosted by firefighters and Explorers. A number of other younger and some older drivers also dragged a few cones. But it was only practice for the real thing, said Trooper Tressa Duffin, the instructor who rode along with the drivers.
"Most of them were not too bad, but they were only driving at 3 to 5 mph," Trooper Duffin said. "What happens when they're going 50-60 mph?? They have to know what to do."
The exercise involved driving the cart through a maze of orange cones with a cell phone in the lap of the driver. Trooper Duffin gave them three text messages to see how they would react. The drivers would pick up the phone and look at the text, which led many of them to go off course.
She just killed all the cones," Trooper Duffin said after one young female driver finished the course. "She was only 15."
Like her friend Morales, Chazlyn Frank, 15, is taking a regular driver's education course to get her driver's permit. She had a rough ride, too, but only collided with two cones.
"If that was real, I would have killed myself," Chazlyn said afterward. "One minute without your eyes on the road can be the end. It (the text message) is not worth your life. It can wait." Continued...
Morales agreed.
"Texting and driving is dangerous. If you do it, you can say goodbye to your life," she said.
Clint Worrell, 32, of Monroe had trouble on the course when his text messages came in. He said he would probably pull off the road if he wanted to text. His friend, James Thrush of Petersburg, handled it a little better. He only clipped a couple of cones.
"I never text and drive, God no," Thrush, 35, said.
Jordan Nadeau, 16, didn't strike any cones. He has his license, but also doesn't text while driving. He said his father, David, a volunteer firefighter, taught him early on not to do so for his own safety.
"He stressed with me you got to keep looking ahead and not look down," Jordan said.
Trooper Duffin said any kind of distracted driving is bad, whether it's texting or reaching for something.
"It can be worse on the road if you reach down or across the seat," she said. "Your arm goes where your body goes. That can be dangerous if you're driving."
She stressed with the drivers that they shouldn't answer a text or pick up their phones while driving.
"I want the kids to see they can't pick up the phone when driving," she said. "Their foot is jerking and their head is bobbing up and down. We like to think we can multi-task, but what it does is restrict their vision. In real life, they (shouldn't) pick up the phone. Just leave it or pull over to the side of the road." Continued...
She said a fatal accident Friday morning in Monroe Township involving a woman who was struck by a car while watching her daughter board a school bus was a sad example of a "distracted driver." State police are continuing to investigate the cause of the accident.
Paul and Tammy VanAiken ran a booth at the open house giving away free bright orange and lime T-shirts that read "Please Don't Text and Drive." The couple started the campaign two years ago. They have given away an estimated 8,000 T-shirts away to people all over the country. Some of the T-shirts come in black and the letters are bloody red to send a message.
One of the Explorers — Harley Braden, 18 — said the driver education course she took didn't teach about the dangers of texting while driving.
"They should have this so they can prepare for later on when you do get behind the wheel," Braden said.

I spent about 2/3rds of my time with Mounted Combat in the last week, but also spent a little time on foot. I'll spare you excessive on-foot combat screenshots, as the most interesting combat occurs while astride my trusty Heavy War-steed, Pokey. I also had the pleasure of exploring the Norcrofts, a beautiful stretch of rolling green hills.
As I play through Riders of Rohan, my favorite thing is to discover locations that catch me off guard. The above image was exactly one of those moments, and was a discovery led to a touching quest. I discovered two of my favorite towns in the Norcorfts. Here's the first town, Elthengels:
At Elthengels I participated in a series of quests spun from the displacement of Rohirrim people by marauding White Hand Orcs and Goblins. One of my favorite quests—and in fact the quest responsible for moving me from Elthengels to the next quest area—involved escorting a family traveling by wagon. The road was dangerous; in fact, a few surprises lay in wait.
With the aid of my mighty War-steed, Pokey, the Troll was defeated in record time.
To my delight, the Troll battle provided two new tips for Mounted Combat. The first: press the 'X' key to toggle your camera into a mode that maintains focus on your combat target; a very useful feature for Mounted Combat. The second: press your auto-run button to press a War-steed to full speed. Using both of these tricks gave me more time to focus on tactics and maneuvering. With more time to focus on tactics and maneuvering, I claimed glorious and efficient victory. With safe passage provided, I arrived at a nearby Trader's Camp with the wagon-housed family. It was time to say goodbye to the family I'd been aiding in the beautiful hillside town of Elthengels, but that was okay—there were new quests to complete. It was a long (in-game) night of questing. I rode into the ugly discovery of homes and farms under a burning siege by White-Hand Orcs. There was a reckoning of justice, and many Orcs were slain in combat. After much investigation, I discovered the White-Hand Orc's leader. He was a gnarly fellow wielding a great and deadly axe. A fierce battle ensued, as it always does. There's no avoiding it with vicious Orc-kind. With justice delivered and evil defeated, a partial safety returned to the farms and homes of the Norcrofts. But the call of new adventure is always near… I just had no idea of the strange beauty of the next adventure. It began when I entered a cave. According to the quest given to me there were Orcs to slay here, but you wouldn't know it by looking at the walls. I cautiously explored for some time, until I came across a curious object. A lonely sword stuck in the ground. Orcs and discarded swords make for a terrible combination, but there were people in danger, and a mystery just around the corner. Further exploration uncovered what I expected—Orcs. What surprised me, however, was the Orc's dining table. As the Free People of Middle-earth are known to say: aw, nasty. Okay, maybe they don't say that, but I certainly did. Clearly, there were dark machinations at work in these caves. Whatever I found was not going to be friendly, or pretty—or anything less than deadly. Deeper exploration of the lovely glowing flora-filled cave led me to an Uruk-hai leader, who had a few things to say—although I will avoid spoiling the juiciest pieces.
Hmm. Curious! After defeating the Uruk-hai leader and learning some troubling information, it was time to ride north to Cliving. The well-fortified town of Cliving was one of the biggest places I've yet explored in Riders of Rohan, and its roads and homes were dripping with lovely and inspired Rohirric art. (Thanks again Turbine Creative Studio!) I arrived in Cliving during the late hours, when the moonlight gave the city gate waterfalls an otherworld glow. I found several quests with various motivations—one of them was even about charitable work made less respectable by a greed for social status—but a particular trouble was to become one of my favorite quests. It started with a missing person, I was told, and so I set off to investigate. When I discovered the missing person, he was not… shall we say, in good health. Specifically, he was dead. What proceeded to unfold was a murder mystery. It was such fun that I refuse to spoil any of it, but I will say this: pay close attention during this quest, because you will have a choice of who to arrest, and you can get it wrong. I got it right, of course. Pokey claims it was thanks to him, but I think the horse is just getting a big head from defeating all those Warg-riding Goblins and Orcs. Cliving's Thane (pictured above) was very grateful for my effective service in the murder investigation. I do wonder what he says to a player with should they fail to arrest the correct suspect—but more specifically, I wonder what he rewards. That's it for this week's adventures! The next installment of The Rohan Report will feature the rebuilding of Hytbold, which I am looking forward to experiencing. p.s. I have one last screenshot to share with you this week; it's on the dangers of bears possessed by angry spirits. Let this be a lesson to anyone foolish enough to underestimate a bear, possessed or no.

More than 500 real estate executives and professionals descended on Monmouth University Thursday night for an annual awards dinner that has become one of the industry's top events in New Jersey.
The dinner, hosted by the school's Kislak Real Estate Institute, honored Joseph S. Taylor, president and CEO of Matrix Development Group, and Ted Zangari, a Sills, Cummis & Gross real estate attorney who chairs the firm's redevelopment law and public policy practice groups.
Taylor's firm is "just the latest in a long list of great real estate companies that we have in New Jersey," said Peter Reinhart, director of the institute. He pointed to Taylor's decades of success in the industry and philanthropic efforts.
"We look for people who are titans in the industry, and he's just one of them," Reinhart said of Taylor, who received the Leadership Excellence Award. "The first recipient 19 years ago was Arthur Greenbaum, who's the dean of all of the real estate lawyers in the state."
Zangari was awarded the institute's first ever Service to the Industry Award, due in large part to his founding of the Smart Growth Economic Development Coalition in 2007, Reinhart said. The coalition, which includes many trade groups and businesses, has spearheaded an aggressive policy agenda that "helped the real estate industry survive the recession and is now turning the state around."
"I doubt that we'll give the award every year," Reinhart said. "It's just when someone rises up above, like he clearly has, we'll give the award."
Thursday's event drew a bustling crowd to the Woodrow Wilson Hall, the lavish and historic former mansion at the university's West Long Branch campus. Attendees and organizers say the appeal is due in large part to Monmouth's role as New Jersey's only university with an undergraduate and graduate real estate program.
"I don't think there's a university on the planet that gets this kind of turnout from the real estate industry," said SJP Properties CEO Steven J. Pozycki, a Monmouth alumnus, past honoree and member of Kislak's executive advisory council.
Mitchell Hersh, CEO of Mack-Cali Realty Corp., said the endeavor is "very worthy … because really the cause is to foster and promote education in the field of real estate." Hersh also is a past honoree and member of the advisory council.
The sentiment was echoed by Alfred J. Schiavetti Jr., chairman of Navesink Associates. Schiavetti, also a council member, said the turnout was "a symbolic and tangible manifestation of what we've done with real estate education" at the university.
Taylor said he was honored to receive the award "from one of the great collections of real estate minds in New Jersey." The event is near the level of NAIOP New Jersey's annual awards gala for commercial real estate, which drew some 700 attendees last month, he said.
"The event has grown every year," Taylor said. "It's one of the two major real estate events, and having some of the students here and hopefully bringing them into the industry is very exciting."

Meanwhile at PGI....
Posted 23 May 2012 - 12:38 PM
Russ Bullock: Alright everyone settle down. Get seated.
Employees slowly shuffle to their seats
Russ Bullock: All rise
Everyone stands
All: Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati
Russ Bullock: Sit down. Now, as we all know, launch is only a few months away. It would have been sooner but Paul blew half our budget on those damn Mexican flutes, not only setting us back financially but also facilitating a very non-productive office environment.
Paul Inouye: They were a hit and you know it!
Russ Bullock: They were something. We still haven't been able to fix Dennis...
Behind Russ, Dennis de Koning goes prancing down the hallway in a cape playing hilariously bad flute
Russ Bullock: Right, where were we...ah yes. Since we are nearing our new launch date, I think it is about time we inform the community of our Beta intentions. Preliminary data gathered shows we should only lose approximately 7% of our users due to various forms of psychosis and extreme anxiety. Corporate estimates the financial losses will be minimal. This new Founder's package will make up the lost revenue easily! Also, I propose that after the Beta announcement we go quiet for a bit. That should really drive the forum nuts!! Garth Erlam raises his hand. Yes Garth?
Garth Erlam: Does this mean I have to keep sitting on the IRC all day?
Russ Bullock: Yes it does Garth. That is what you get for last weeks "pie incident". Also we need you to put the General Discussion page on a live feed on the projector. I want everyone to enjoy the community freakout we are about to invoke.
Kyle Polulak: Can I use the bathroom?
Russ Bullock: No since you did not raise your hand. Now I was thinking we should release a mech this week right after the Beta announcement. Any opinions on which mech?
David Bradley: How about the reseen or the unseen?
Bryan Ekman: I second that.
Russ Bullock: Yes well, I don't think we have tortured the community enough yet. So no, no unseen. How about instead the Cataphract? Yes, yes I think the Cataphract will be an excellent mech. Alex, can we get that released for Wednesday?
Alex Iglesias: Well, we can, but you know I have put a lot of hours into the Marauder and Warhammer...
Russ Bullock: Yes...
Alex Iglesias: I mean I have pulled multiple weekends and holidays working on these redesigns...
Russ Bullock: Your point?
Alex Iglesias: I really just want to release these mechs and do something else. I haven't shaved in a month and everyone has moved their desk away from mine. And I really miss the outdoors.
Russ Bullock: And I really miss the unseen too. But you know what I will miss more? All those topics demanding the unseen and reseen. So no, your work is not finished yet.
Garth Erlam: I don't miss those topics...
Russ Bullock: You also didn't raise your hand. It's like the "pie incident" taught you nothing
Paul Inouye: My juice box is empty!!!!
Russ Bullock: Well we would still have the vending machines if it wasn't for those flutes. Bryan Ekman raises his hand. Yes Bryan.
Bryan Ekman: I am the VP of this company...why do I still have to raise my hand? I motion that this hand raising procedure be eliminated from company meetings.
Russ Bullock: Motion denied. Garth do we have the list of forum users who AREN'T getting into the closed Beta?
Garth Erlam: No. Paul set fire to it this morning while screaming "REDACTED". He has his own list that he forwarded to everyone on the company email. Also, there is a large flux of really dumb topics on the forums. And not the usual dumb. We couldn't pay people with Beta keys to be this dumb. And my inbox is overflowing at the moment. Where is the help you promised me?
Russ Bullock: Mexican flutes...
Garth Erlam: Dammit Paul!
Paul Inouye: THEY WERE A HIT!!!
Russ Bullock: Also, whoever paid in American money last week for the Friday Playtest snack fund...we are all very amused. When I find out who it is, your next playtest match will consist of you in a limping Urbanmech!!!
Paul chuckles maniacally to himself
Russ Bullock: Alright I see this is another failed meeting. At this rate we will be lucky to launch in 2012 people!! Meeting adjourned. Go to your desks for this afternoons playtest.
Everyone shuffles off leaving a mess of juice boxes behind.
Kyle Polulak: Do you think the forum users know we are just screwing with them?
Russ Bullock: Not a chance...not a chance...mwwwuuahahahah (insert evil laugh here)

Sports Update
Mentum: Lady Eagles' Mo disappears in loss to Lady Wolves
BY Kevin Hageland,
Published: Tuesday, September 25, 2012 10:30 PM CDT
ALLEN - There have been plenty of momentum changes during Allen-Plano West volleyball matches the last couple years.
But even with that, it was tough to anticipate Tuesday night's swing.
The Lady Eagles (0-2 in District 8-5A) appeared to have all the momentum following a come-from-behind victory in Game 2, but that quickly dissipated in Game 3 as the Lady Wolves (2-0) posted the most lopsided game in an eventual four-set win (25-22, 22-25, 25-14, 25-18).
"We didn't jump out in Game 1," said Brittany Bridge, West head coach. "We were slow and not talking well and just got lucky on a few points to get the win. Same in Game 2 except we didn't get lucky on those same points and we lost. We weren't playing with any urgency or any energy and I told them if they did that again in Game 3 there was going to be a penalty."
West responded.
The Lady Wolves established a 20-9 advantage behind solid passing by senior Abigail Curry, who had 23 assists, and kills from senior Katie Stebbins, who had 14 put downs. And then there was senior Brooke Coleman, who posted a triple double with 15 kills, 16 assists and 20 digs.
"Brooke played awesome tonight," Bridge said.
Allen head coach Kelley Gregoriew was less enthusiastic about Game 3, which her team dropped, 25-14, following a kill from Stebbins.
"The mental game is something we have battled with all season," she said. "I'm not sure if that's what happened in Game 3 or what because we started to fade; we hit a flat spot and our swings were not as efficient as the first two games."
The Lady Eagles were significantly sharper with their connections in Game 4 and that resulted in an 11-7 lead following a slew of kills from sophomores Sheridan Ralston and Kaitlyn Blake. That lead wouldn't stand up though as the Lady Wolves went on a 7-0 run by abusing the Allen block.
A kill from Coleman gave West a 12-11 lead it wouldn't relinquish.
The Lady Wolves extended that advantage, eventually reaching 22-16 off an ace by senior Shane Peters, who also had 26 digs, a kill on the slide from senior Julia DeVinney and a kill by Coleman. Following two Lady Eagles' errors, West wrapped up the match, 25-18, on a kill by junior Kelly Bennett.
"We were more disciplined in Game 4," Gregoriew said. "And really, I thought we played well, except for Game 3, and the match could have gone either way."
That was apparent in Games 1 and 2.
Allen set the tone and took a 10-8 lead in the opener, gaining momentum off kills from junior Camryn Freiberg and an ace by senior Madison Lee. But West drew even at 10-10 following a block from Curry and the teams traded the lead throughout the teens despite the Lady Eagles controlling the net with Freiberg and freshman Chandler Atwood.
"Our blocking was awful in Game 1," Bridge said. "We don't necessarily need a block every time, but we need our blockers to take away an area of the court and they didn't do that in Game 1."
The Lady Wolves took control in the 20s following tips from Curry and Coleman with the finish coming at 25-22 off a kill by junior Morgan MacGilvary.
MacGilvary, who had 10 kills, was West's go-to offensive weapon in Game 2.
The Lady Wolves used MacGilvary as well as sophomore Camryn Vecera, who had 14 digs and led a much-improved defense, to establish an 18-14 lead.
"It was simple," Bridge said. "Better blocking led to better defense."
West's lead didn't hold up as multiple errors drew Allen even at 19-19.
"We had way too many errors tonight," Bridge said. "That's something that has been a problem at times and it allows other teams to stay in games."
The Lady Wolves faltered to allow the tie, but the Lady Eagles did the work in the 20s with a sequence that featured a kill by Ralston, kill by Blake, ace from senior Kelly Holden and block by junior Hannah Fry to establish a 23-21 lead. Allen kept the pressure on from there, finishing out a 25-22 win with a Lee/Fry combo block and kill by Lee.
That evened the match, but the Lady Eagles' momentum wouldn't carry over into the next two games of a 3-1 loss.
West and Allen now find themselves at opposite ends of the District 10-5A standings.
"Being 2-0 is huge for us and maybe we are a little ahead of where we thought we would be at this point," Bridge said, "but we have to keep improving in each match regardless of who we play."
Next up for West is a 6 p.m. home match Friday against McKinney. Allen is on the road against McKinney Boyd at the same time.
"Right now we can't worry about what has already happened," Gregoriew said. "Every match is its own thing and we've got Boyd on Friday, so we need to focus on them."

MONTREAL - Sections of the Champlain Bridge over the St. Lawrence River aren't the only parts of the corridor that federal officials are scrambling to repair and keep open to traffic until a new span can be built.
Two overpasses on the Montreal approach to the Champlain are in "mediocre" condition, their concrete crumbling and reinforcement steel corroding, according to a confidential 2010 inspection report, an edited version of which was obtained by The Gazette via an access-to-information request.
One of the overpasses must be replaced and the other will undergo major repairs, Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Inc. (JCCBI) said in explanatory notes released with the report.
In addition, a secondary span known as the Nuns' Island Bridge is deteriorating "very quickly" and requires major repairs, the 2010 inspection found.
All of the structures are federally owned and operated because they are part of the Champlain Bridge corridor, administered by Ottawa.
In August, JCCBI, the federal agency that administers the Champlain, refused to release the 1,343-page inspection report but re-evaluated the request this month after The Gazette appealed.
The annual inspection, conducted by the Aecom engineering firm between April and August 2010, covered the entire Champlain corridor - from the Atwater Interchange to the South Shore.
"In general, the structures are in a fair state but certain parts are in a mediocre-to-deficient state," Aecom found.
Some of Aecom's findings were disclosed in a second study, by the Delcan engineering firm, which conducted a follow-up "structural health assessment" between August and December 2010. That Delcan report focused on the section between Nuns' Island and the South Shore, warning it was so dilapidated there was a risk of a partial bridge collapse, a risk authorities are "managing at this time."
The release of the complete Aecom report marks the first time Ottawa has made public details about the condition of the section between Nuns' Island and the Atwater Interchange in Montreal.
The worst problems in this section relate to three structures built during the early 1960s:
Two are overpasses that cross over Bonaventure Auto-route access roads.
They are in "mediocre" condition, which is one notch better than the worst grade - "deficient," Aecom found.
"Defects found during the 2010 inspection (of the two overpasses) are mainly related to the concrete (spalling, delamination, cracking, and corrosion of reinforcement steel) on all major elements," the report said.
It recommended major repairs to the structures, but noted they "will only slow the degradation and mitigate the risks." The report said before investing significant sums on repairs, authorities should conduct a cost analysis of replacing the overpasses.
In response, JCCBI carried out paving work on one of the overpasses "in an attempt to slow down the deterioration."
Over the next two weeks, temporary support beams will be installed to shore up the overpass until it can be replaced in 2012 and 2013, JCCBI said in the explanatory notes.
On the second overpass, JCCBI said it has opted to conduct "major rehabilitation work aimed at prolonging (its) useful life by replacing expansion joints and pavement and repairing the bridge pier caps, piers, abutments and deck slab."
The Nuns' Island Bridge crosses a secondary river channel and links Montreal Island to Nuns' Island.
Aecom found this structure to be in "mediocre" condition in 2010, an improvement from the "deficient" grade it obtained a year earlier. But the report noted the 468meter bridge's "defects are progressing very quickly. The foundation (piers, abutments) and the slab expansion joints are the main elements that are most damaged."
This bridge was repaved in 2010 and 2011 to protect the concrete slab, and repairs were done to the slab, beams and piers, JCCBI said in the explanatory notes. More work is scheduled in 2012 and 2013, including pillar repairs and strengthening of beams.
Aecom's 2010 inspection report helped Ottawa identify problems and prioritize repairs, JCCBI noted.
But the federal agency said the report, completed in August 2010, "no longer fully reflects an up-to-date assessment of the state of the Champlain." Many repairs were carried out since then.
In 2011, $4.5 million was spent on the sections between Nuns' Island and Atwater. On the rest, another $36.5 million was spent, JCCBI said.
In its report, Aecom said ongoing Champlain repairs are "absolutely necessary to ensure the sustainability of structures and user safety."
The Champlain corridor is in the midst of a $370-million repair and upgrade project. That includes $158 million announced in March, part of which will also go to Bonaventure Autoroute repairs
That March repair-budget top-up came after Aecom said Ottawa should consider spending more on repairs.
"In a context where the damage tends to increase exponentially year after year, it is important to maintain and even consider increasing the budget invested annually for maintenance and rehabilitation (sections of the bridge) which is assessed as deficient," the report stated.
JCCBI removed information from the Aecom report before releasing it. Missing are engineers' names and all information regarding the estimated cost of suggested repairs. In some cases, it's unclear what data were removed.
JCCBI said it removed info because it referred to, among other things, vulnerabilities that could facilitate the commission of an offence or that could interfere with the awarding of contracts.
Ottawa has said it will replace the entire Champlain corridor at a cost of between $3 billion and $5 billion in about 10 years. That estimate includes $811 million for a new Nuns' Island Bridge and $681 million to expand Highway 15 between the Nuns' Island Bridge and Atwater.
In a separate report last year, Delcan concluded it would be too costly and disruptive to traffic to fix the Champlain so it can stay open for another 50 years. Delcan recommended that an expedited process for a bridge replacement be implemented quickly.
Last week, The Gazette reported on the contents of the last inspection of the federal half of the Mercier Bridge, also obtained via an access-to -information request.
That report revealed Ottawa advised Quebec about deteriorating gusset plates on the Mercier in 2006, five years before Transport Quebec had to close its side of the bridge in order to repair dangerously deteriorated plates. Ottawa fixed its gussets in 2008.

Since getting my iPhone I have been on a search for the perfect Bluetooth headset. A good one that just barely misses the mark for me is the Samsung WEP 200 Micro bluetooth in ear headset.
Here are the pair instructions and pairing code for some of the more stylish line of headsets from Samsung - called the WEP series:
To pair the headset in manually pairing mode:
1. With the headset off, press the center POWER button for 7 seconds until you see the headset blue light turn solid blue (no loneger flashing).
2. The indicator light will turn solid blue, which indicates that the headset is in "Pairing mode".
3. In the phone, you now have to add the headset to the phone's list of Bluetooth devices.
4. You have to enter a Bluetooth passkey in the phone. The default passkey is 0000.
These directions apply to a lot of different bluetooth headsets. If "0000" (four zeros) does not work, try "0001" (three zeros and a one) or "1234".
Hope this helps!
If you'd like to return the favor ... please use the Amazon search at the right or consider a Paypal $1 donation. Thanks.

Fed says large banks must submit midyear stress tests on July 5
Eighteen large U.S. bank holding companies are required to submit the results of their company-run, midyear stress tests to the Federal Reserve on July 5, the Federal Reserve said. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act required that large bank holding companies and non-bank financial institutions that are designated for Federal Reserve supervision by the Financial Stability Oversight Council conduct two stress tests each year. In the midyear test, which is being conducted for the first time in 2013, each firm develops its own baseline, adverse, and severely adverse scenarios to best reflect its individual operations and risks. Each firm in the midyear test is required to release the results produced under its severely adverse scenario, helping promote market discipline and understanding of the financial conditions and risks of individual firms, between September 15 and September 30, the Fed added.

Education & Education Reform
Quality primary and secondary education preparing them for higher education, jobs and careers is necessary for girls to grow into thriving adults. In order to expand career options science, math and technical education must be made more accessible and appealing to girls; for example, through gender awareness training for educators and organizers of science and technology-related programs. Schools must recognize the educational needs of adolescent girls, including comprehensive sex education and sound information about preventing STDs and unwanted pregnancy. Girls also require education about and protection from sexual harassment, bullying and other forms of violence.
