Despite the partial loss of the Advance Camera for Surveys (ACS), the Hubble Space Telescope continues to provide excellent data and exciting scientific results.
The data from the 9 September 2006 visit of the HST Optical Monitoring Program have been analyzed. Results of phase retrieval on stellar targets in ACS/HRC and WFPC2/PC in parallel give good agreement with the mean of HRC measurements over the orbit.
The Hubble spacecraft is operating nominally. All science instruments of Hubble - with the exception of STIS - are delivering data for frontline science.
From the operational point of view, the Hubble spacecraft is working nominally. Since the switch to two-gyro mode in late August 2005, operations have continued without any problems. The two-gyro mode operating well, work shifted to evaluating the potential for a one-gyro mode. An initial study confirmed its feasibility and work began to define the operational concept and requirements. A successful preliminary design review was held in November and the various teams began moving forward on detailed design activities for implementing this contingency mode.
The Hubble spacecraft continues to operate nominally. To extend its expected scientific lifetime, and after the on-orbit two-gyro mode test using all science instruments was carried successfully, HST was transitioned to two-gyro mode on August 28. All indications are that the performance in two-gyro mode is excellent. This early introduction of the two-gyro science mode is expected to extend the observing lifetime of HST with the current set of gyros by at least 9 months to late-2008, corresponding to 2400 to 3000 more orbits of useful science.
From the operational point of view, the Hubble spacecraft is operating nominally, with the exception of the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), one of the five on-board science instruments, which failed on August 3rd, 2004.
From an operational point of view, the Hubble spacecraft is performing nominally. Measurements over the last few months have shown a negative average position for the HST focus. Consequently, an HST secondary mirror move of 4.16 micron away from the primary was performed on 22 December 2004. Analysis of data taken shortly before and after the focus adjustment show a change in the point-spread function consistent with the return to nominal focus.
Overall, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is operating nominally with all instruments functioning very well.
Mission Status
The HST observatory is operating nominally with all instruments functioning. The Phase I deadline for the 13th Cycle of HST observations is on the 23 January 2004 with the peer review taking place in Baltimore at the end of March. Notification to the PIs of successful proposals is on 4 April.

American National Election Study, 1998: Post-Election Survey (ICPSR 02684)
Principal Investigator(s): Sapiro, Virginia; Rosenstone, Steven J.; National Election Studies
This study is part of a time-series collection of national surveys fielded continuously since 1952. The election studies are designed to present data on Americans' social backgrounds, enduring political predispositions, social and political values, perceptions and evaluations of groups and candidates, opinions on questions of public policy, and participation in political life. Substantive themes of the 1998 election study include, among others, knowledge and evaluation of the House candidates and placement of the candidates on various issue dimensions, interest in the political campaigns, attentiveness to the media's coverage of the campaign, media use, evaluation of the mass media, vote choice, partisanship, and evaluations of the political parties and the party system. Additional items focused on political participation, political mobilization, evaluations of the president and Congress, the "Lewinsky affair," egalitarianism, moral traditionalism, political trust, political efficacy, ideology, cultural pluralism, and political knowledge. Respondents were also asked about their attitudes toward a wide range of issues, including social policy, race policy, military and foreign policy, immigration, foreign imports, prayer in schools, school vouchers, the environment, the death penalty, women's rights, abortion, and religion and politics, including new measures of explicitly political and religious orientations. Demographic items such as age, sex, nationality, marital status, employment status, occupation, and education were also included.

Attitudes toward Electoral Accountability: A Data-Driven Learning Guide - Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research
Accountability is a foundation of democratic principles. Elected representatives are held accountable to their constituents through the electoral process; legislators who do not appear to represent the best interests of their constituents may find it difficult to be re-elected. Citizens who believe that representatives can be held accountable through elections may be more likely to participate in the political process.
The goal of this module is to explore attitudes about government accountability and their relationship to political participation in the U.S. Crosstabulation will be used.

Motorex Dry and Wet Lubes
In choosing between Wet and Dry chain lubricants, we almost always go dry. We like dry lubes. Dribble the lube on, wipe clean, air dry, and wipe clean again. The drier the chain is on the outside, the less grit the drive train will pick up. Also, Dry lube generally means fewer grease stains and less time degreasing cassettes. And our feeling for these is such that we hardly see a reason for wet chain lubes. Our experience is that the wet stuff picks up too much dirt to be good for our drive trains. We'll grant that some wet lubes stick to drive train components better than dry lubes, but the gunk-attracting properties of the wet means that unless we're really careful, we feel that we're fast-tracking the death of our chains, cassettes, and chain rings.
So we did our routine with the Motorex Bike Line Dry Lube. We started with a clean bike and degreased the chain. We opted for the dripper (as opposed to the spray), wiped the chain clean a few times, let it dry overnight, and went for a ride. We were surprised to find lube residue everywhere. So we wiped the chain clean again, and went for another ride. Dirty again.
We called Motorex to find out if we had done something wrong. We hadn't. The lubricant is a fluid made of wax and synthetic oil. The carrier, aka the liquid portion, evaporates, but it leaves behind the wax and oil residue. It resides in the pins and rollers, so you can continue to wipe the chain clean after a few rides. The Motorex rep we spoke with told us that the residue was so thin and the bonds in it so weak, that it won't pick up dirt and grit, even if the outside of the chain looks dirty.
The chain and cassette look dirty after a few rides, and stay looking that way. But the lube also seems to stay inside with the pins and rollers. We easily did 400 miles between bouts of lubing, and that was with a bike wash and some damp days in between. We cleaned the chain with soapy water, let it air dry, and rode another 100 miles or so before it started to let out little squeaks now and again.
As we know few people who have experienced Motorex lubes, we reached out to pro team mechanics for their feedback. Our general impression is pro mechanics like clean bikes, clean gears, and like to minimize work because they've got lots of bikes to take care of. Domestically, Kelly Benefit Strategies was one of the first pro teams to be sponsored by Motorex. At the ProTour level, BMC continues their celebration of things Swiss by having them on as an equipment sponsor. We contacted both.
Eric Jellum of Kelly Benefit Strategies told us, "95% of the time, our choice is wet lube. The distances, the guys are going 250km in a day, and the conditions can vary so much. It's a precaution thing. It's typical of most wet lubes that they stay on the chain much longer. At the Tour of the Gila we used the dry lube for the 90 minute crit. It runs a bit cleaner, and the distance isn't an issue. If we can predict the elements, we can use dry." Of course, Jellum and his crew are washing the bikes every day, so dirt buildup on chains will be minimal, and it's more important that the bikes shift right every time than the drivetrain last a long time.
Kevin Grove of the BMC Cycling Team, an avowed fan of Motorex stuff, reported, "I have found a base coat of silicon spray before the chain lube is great. Not too much spray, just enough to coat the chain. Then I apply either the wet or dry lube. Both are pretty dirty, but that is not much of a problem. The next morning after application, I wipe the chain a little to take off the excess. On the really bad rainy days, I use the silicon spray and then the grease spray on the chains. The grease spray does a really good job of staying on and protecting the chain and keeps the chain quiet after 3 hours on the bike. And with the grease spray, you don't need to use regular grease like many mechanics prefer. Less mess!"
We're so not pro when it comes to lubing our chains. We'll venture to guess you're not, either. Their routines are too much work for our riding and would necessitate daily cleaning. Jellum uses the spray can, aims it at the chain on the cassette, and quickly turns the cranks backwards as he's applying the lube. It goes on fast and easy and uses less lube this way, not that he's particularly worried about over-lubing.
Still, with this sort of heavy application common in the pro ranks, we thought we'd try it. We applied the wet lube over the dry lube, which is fine to do according to the people at Motorex (but not vice versa). We wiped as best we could and had a rainy weekend of racing and riding. Everything the lube touched was pretty gritty by the end. The bike looked pretty gross, but the chain was not squeaking. We wiped down the chain, cassette, and pulleys and rode them daily for another three weeks before re-lubing. During this time, the bike worked great.
The Motorex guy also explained that the wet lubes stay wet to cover and protect gaps, cracks, and crevasses in the chain. By covering them, the lube keeps water out of the rollers and the gaps where the rollers meet the plates.
We were told by our person at Motorex that the dripper is actually harder to use well than the spray. The reason is that it comes out of the bottle faster and more concentrated than it does from the spray. In our experiences with both media, this seems to be about right, though our own preference is still for the bottle. The dripper bottle packs smaller and we can always dab a little, wipe a lot, dab, wipe, and so on.
In choosing between the wet or dry, we still lean toward the Motorex Dry on most days. Maybe with a rainy 100-mile race ahead of us we'll apply the wet lube, but otherwise we'll stick to the dry. The dirt buildup concerns us more than the possibility that our chain will need lube mid-ride.

The rolls in this package of paper towels were cut too short and rolls would not stay in the holder. We have never received a pack from Quill with this problem before, and will not purchase this particular brand again. Usually get Basic towel products.

Ohio State notes: Etienne Sabino will return to face Wisconsin
COLUMBUS — Ohio State will go up against a powerful running game Saturday against Wisconsin.
What better time for the return of linebacker Etienne Sabino?
Coach Urban Meyer said the fifth-year linebacker will play on Saturday against the Badgers. Sabino has been out of action since sustaining a broken fibula during Ohio State's 63-38 win over Nebraska on Oct. 6.
"I can't tell you what percent he's at," Meyer said on Monday. "But he's in the starting lineup for the game."
The OSU depth chart released Monday has Storm Klein and Zach Boren listed as co-starters at middle linebacker. Ryan Shazier and Joshua Perry are listed as the starters on the outside.
But Meyer said Sabino will play.
"He's one of our key guys at linebacker," defensive lineman Johnathan Hankins said. "It's good to have him back. I think he'll be at full force, and be ready."
In six games, Sabino (6-foot-3, 237 pounds) had 37 tackles and a pair of sacks.
Boren said the linebackers has "a great week of practice" on the bye week, with Sabino back on the field, and both his and Shazier's play was "elevated because of what Sabino brings to the table."
Boren said Sabino has shown no ill effects of his injury. Continued...
"He looks good," Boren said. "I know he's out there running around with us. I'd say he's pretty good."
Injury update
With Sabino's status the headliner, Meyer said the news on the injury front has been "pretty positive."
-- Center Corey Linsley "is still banged up," Meyer said, but Meyer hopes he is back to full speed by Wednesday. Linsley practiced on Monday.
-- Defensive back Orhian Johnson was injured in the Illinois game but "is good to go."
-- Freshman defensive back Armani Reeves (ankle) will be back on special teams this weekend.
"Very valuable player," Meyer said.
-- The news isn't as good with running back Bri'onte Dunn. He has a non-surgical sprain of the MCL in his knee. Meyer said he hopes to get Dunn back for the Michigan game, but "that will be questionable."
Passing grade ... kinda
Ohio State is averaging 39.9 points and 445 yards per game. But when it comes to home-run hitting plays, Meyer gives his team a passing grade. Continued...
But not by much.
"I would still grade us a C to C-minus on the ability to pull through plays," Meyer said.
Meyer singled out quarterback Braxton Miller (291.9 yards of total offense per game) and noted the improvement of running back Carlos Hyde (737 yards rushing this season). He said Jordan Hall (out with an injury) was someone who could make defenders miss, but the list ended there.
"I still would grade us not very good," Meyer said. "I mean, Ohio State, we should be better than we are. But his development, Philly (Brown), but we should have four guys like that. We should have four players that can take a curl, make a guy miss and accelerate away from people. We don't have that right now."
Preparation time
Ohio State isn't just working on a game plan for the Wisconsin Badgers. A few players are also working on a game plan for the period of time between the third and fourth quarters.
That's when Camp Randall Stadium shakes with the playing of House of Pain's "Jump Around." Fans in the stadium celebrate wildly when the song is played prior to the fourth quarter, and visiting players are known to spend some time enjoying the music, too.
Brown said he and reserve QB Kenny Guiton are already preparing for it.
"Me and Kenny G got a little dance segment we're going do to during that period," Brown said with a smile. "We practiced and rehearsed it. Hopefully, Kenny goes through with the steps and we execute it well."

Fashion show preview sparkles at Tiffany
Stephanie Wilson (right) of Winnetka thanks Joseph Lombardo, director of Tiffany & Co. at Northbrook Court, for supporting Northwestern University Settlement House. | Karie Angell Luc~For Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: May 22, 2012 2:30PM
Joseph Lombardo, director of Tiffany & Co. at Northbrook Court, removed the 18-karat Tiffany Metro bracelet ($5,200 value) from its case, offering Stephanie Wilson of Winnetka the opportunity to admire it.
Wilson put the bracelet on her left wrist and gasped.
"It's just so simple and elegant," Wilson said during a May 3 fashion show preview event benefiting the Winnetka Board of the Northwestern University Settlement House.
The goal was to support Northwestern University Settlement, an initiative that provides schooling and more for Chicago families.
Of the bracelet that will be raffled off during the fall fashion show Style Under the Stars, Wilson said, "It [the bracelet] makes such a statement; I think that's what Tiffany is all about, simple and elegance."
Since 1926 the fashion show — the longest-running fashion show on the North Shore — has been raising funds for the Northwestern University Settlement to help facilitate and sustain community programs such as a charter school (Rowe Elementary School), summer camps (House in the Wood near Lake Geneva, Wis.) and children's theater workshops. Last year the show raised $80,000.
The 86th annual fashion show will take place on Sept. 27 at Michigan Shores Club in Wilmette.
During the Tiffany & Co. event, board members modeled fashions that will be featured come autumn. Brooke Wanzenberg of Winnetka looked stunning in a breezy gown.
"This is a Helmut Lang dress from GAVIN in Evanston," Wanzenberg said.
The ethereal value of the Metro bracelet, which features an eternity ring style, drew many admirers, including Wanzenberg.
"I think it's kind of hokey," said Connie Magnuson of Chicago, past president of the Winnetka Board of Northwestern University Settlement, "but it [the bracelet] symbolizes the circle of life.
"Everything from little kids from Head Start all the way to our Golden Agers program, yeah, it's [the bracelet, other donations] a great way to fundraise for the board. It [Northwestern Settlement] is a hand up, not a hand out," Magnuson added.
"I would say the circle of life in this instance would be of having a community come together to help families," said Lombardo of Northbrook about the bracelet. "If we focus on that, I think it's cyclical, that we can always support each other and help people in need."
The Northwestern University Settlement, whose mission is "opening doors of opportunity," welcomes 350 children from the kindergarten to the fourth grade at Rowe Elementary School at 1424 N. Cleaver in Chicago.
"I couldn't be more proud," said Ron Manderscheid, president of Northwestern University Settlement, referring to students of Rowe Elementary School.
"We have a long waiting list," he lamented. "And it's by lottery. And it's heartbreaking not to be able to admit as many children that want to be there."
But the Northbrook Court Tiffany & Co. fashion show preview event offered hope.
"I think that the shout out for this evening is that Northwestern Settlement is extraordinarily blessed to have this wonderful group of people be so devoted to make sure everything we do is so supported," Manderscheid said.

Human Error
Life Sentence
First things first, Life Sentence is not a metal album in any real sense of the word; if this bothers you in any particular way, get the fuck over it. Human Error plays a style of crust that utilizes a wide variety of elements from an expansive background of influences as varied as traditional grindcore, old school hardcore, to the heavy influence of bands along the lines of Doom or Discharge that really paved the way for this sort of thing to follow. Frankly speaking, that's really about where the contact with the metal world at large ends, but this doesn't in any way detract from Life Sentence being a truly aggressive and refreshingly exciting release.
Human Error have been a large part of the DIY punk community in Budapest since the late 90's, and it shows. This is reflected quite spectacularly in their ability to write a damn good song, yet more importantly, to actually offer an album than expands upon a genre that is arguably even more stagnant than death metal is nowadays. For those of you who may not know much about the genre as a whole, this isn't grindcore proper (in the usual sense used to describe bands like Terrorizer), nor is it even primarily grindcore with emphatic punk leanings along the lines of Phobia or Skitsystem, the style presented on Life Sentence is very much in the vein of older Cripple Bastards: a multifarious melee of crust punk with a distinctive grindcore edge to it, nothing more and nothing less.
All seventeen songs are ferocious, to-the-point bursts of violence and aggression that rather than descending into a wall of half-rate noise, consistently keeps up an alarmingly professional demeanor. The level of variety and energy is kept at a constant high throughout each song with a very experienced use of contrast between catchy two steps and the quintessential d-beats and the more grindcore oriented blasts. One of the things you have to keep in mind with nearly every genre of grindcore, especially the more hardcore punk oriented material, is that it isn't exactly an overly complicated form of music. Some of you may just think I'm making excuses for sub-par musicianship, but then again you don't really fault a Picasso for being too abstract, as to do so would be to miss the point entirely. I could sit here and wade through a bunch of laborious descriptions and flowery language, but in this case I think that would be a disservice to both you and I. If you have any affiliation with hardcore punk, this one should be right up your alley, I promise

Prosecutor Still Active, Successor Remains in Limbo
Judiciary committee has not yet ruled on governor's nomination, Florham Park attorney Fredric Knapp, to replace Robert Bianchi.
Even though Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi's term technically ended more than five months ago, he is prepared to personally handle the prosecution of a man charged with vehicular homicide for allegedly crashing while intoxicated into a Mount Arlington police cruiser on Interstate 80 last October and killing Joseph Wargo, the officer inside.
Referring to the fact his five-year appointment officially ended June 22, Bianchi told a judge Monday his status as prosecutor is "tenuous" and he will work to have a contingency plan for if he is replaced near the time of the defendant, Michael Cassella's, trial, according to reports by the Daily Record and The Star-Ledger.
Bianchi's involvement in the case comes amid the departure of an assistant prosecutor who is leaving for a job with a private firm, and a spate of homicides in 2011, the reports said.
Gov. Chris Christie nominated Florham Park attorney Fredric Knapp in June to be the next county prosecutor, but the the Senate Judiciary Committee, which has a Democratic majority, has not yet held a hearing on the nomination.
Sen. Raymond J. Lesniak, a member of the Judiciary Committee, told the Daily Record he's not expecting the committee to meet this month, which would mean the governor would have to reappoint Knapp next year. Lesniak, a Democrat, also said he sees Bianchi as far more qualified for the job.
Gov. Jon Corzine appointed Bianchi to his five-year term in 2007.
Bianchi, who successfully prosecuted Jose Feliciano, found guilty last year of murdering the Rev. Edward Hinds of Chatham, has said he will do everything needed to ensure an orderly transition.
Messages were not returned Monday from the governor's office, Bianchi, Knapp, Lesniak and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Nicholas Scutari.

If Lesniak wants to be governor and appoint prosecutors, let him run for governor. Otherwise, stop obstructing the operation of New Jersey government and let Chris Christie put his own choice in the prosecutor's position.

Totally off the subject, but I saw a Coast Guard Petty Officer was killed, and another injured, in what appears to be a "drug interception operation " off the coast of California. I think it is a shame that the USCG operations in the USA and around the world get so little recognition, and relatively small appropriations, even as their National Security role has expanded. Please send me your contact information to my home, as I have a number of questions re the USCG operations and funding over past few years.

Oh gawd. I just threw up a little in my mouth. Tobin, as a republican you are what the Seals call a "Whiskey Delta". This clown is trying to get the your fellow republican mayor recalled for delegating to you. Have you no pride?
Kevin Nedd
4:30 pm on Wednesday, December 5, 2012
Your metaphor is no less tasteless (no pun intended) than the last time you used it.
My issue with the Mayor and why I think he should be subject to a recall vote has to do with his decision to abandon the township for a warm, sunny Aruba vacation in the immediate aftermath of Sandy while thousands of his constituents sat in their cold, dark, powerless homes. Delegating to Mr. Tobin was actually a positive step for our township which proved beneficial even if the Mayor had postponed his vacation and remained on site.

1. | Case Race | ||
A drinking game in which two cases of beer are required. You break up participants into teams. The first team to finish the entire case of beer is deemed the victor. We had a case race over at Greg's the other night! It was awesome!
2. | case race | ||
A race in which two teams of one or more people compete against each other to see who can finish a case of beer faster. If a team/member quits, passes out or throws up they are immediately declared the loser. I was trashed after the case race.
3. | Case Race | ||
3 people to a team, whoever finishes the case (30 pack) first wins but puking gets your team an automatic disqualification. everyone's a winner at the case race cause you drink 10 beers. drink a beer get a new one, you win.
4. | Case Race | ||
A race of 3 teams in which each team receives a case of beer, a blunt, and a pizza. First one to finish all 3 wins. Puking, spilling, and passing out all have time penalties. I won the case race, but lost thanksgiving.
5. | case race | ||
This is a simple game. Start out with 4 of your best drinkers. Challenge any other group of four people. Each 4 person group is a team. Each team gets a case. Find a ref who will judge fair.
When the ref says start everyone starts drinking. The winning team is the first team done with all of their beer. Every can must be completely empty. If the ref rules a can is not empty then it must be drank before your team can win. Any spills or throwing up results in a 30 sec penalty added to your total time. The fastest we've done this is in just under 4 minutes thirty seconds. Try to beat the record. Me, Pimpstick, Ronnie, an Cale so whipped those punk's in the last case race.

I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me
If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

"Mucus is everywhere," says microbiologist Jeremy Barr. Almost every animal uses it to make a barrier that protects tissues that are exposed to the environment, such as the gut or lungs. Now, Barr and a team of researchers have discovered that mucus is also the key to an ancient partnership between animals and viruses.
Barr and his colleagues, who are based at San Diego State University in California, show that animal mucus — whether from humans, fish or corals — is loaded with bacteria-killing viruses called phages. These protect their hosts from infection by destroying incoming bacteria.

Milton Eugene McClain (Southfield Police Department)
Southfield — Make that order to go.
A Detroit man who tried to rob a White Castle Tuesday afternoon was arrested less than two minutes after pulling a gun on employees.
Milton Eugene McClain was arraigned one count of armed robbery and one count of felony firearm before 46th District Court Magistrate Cynthia Arvant on Wednesday afternoon.
He remains in custody after being unable to post a $100,000 cash or surety bond. His next court date is March 25.
According to Lt. Nick Loussia, the incident occurred at about 2 p.m. when McClain, the 36-year-old alleged hamburglar, entered the White Castle, located in 23000 block of Telegraph near Nine Mile, looking for a sack of "mighty whiteys" and some cash.
"He said, 'I'll have some burgers and all the money in the register," Loussia said. "Another employee overheard him and called 911. Our dispatcher immediately put it out and one of our sergeants said he was in the area.
"Then two more officers told dispatch they were also in the area."
The three officers saw the suspect sprint out the restaurant carrying a cash drawer and a weapon that later proved to be a .25 caliber handgun.
"He saw the officers, dropped the drawer and ran eastbound across Telegraph," Loussia said. "He was surrounded and captured without incident. From the time the call came in to the time he was arrested was less than two minutes."

A different dress idea than the one that has the wrought iron corset. The pink stripey part is actually a separate (and pretty long) dress (the tutu belongs to the outfit with the corset), but I thought it went together pretty well when I bunched up the hem so here have some more Rochelle I'm sure you can't get tired of more pics of her I know I can't what is this run on I've not even somewhat decent of a sense of humor.
Was thinking the stripey dress would make a good beach outfit for her, especially since she can't swim. I don't see her having a bathing suit when they put her in a beach set, honestly… Cut-off shorts and a tied-off button-down shirt would be adorable, actually.

- Water firm was asked to hire Collins, preliminary report finds
A consultant has recommended the Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Authority use its influence to urge state officials to conduct a parallel environmental review of competing seawater desalination proposals, rather than focusing only on California American Water's preferred project.
Independent water resources consultant Kris Helm delivered that message in a memo to the water authority's technical advisory committee, which discussed Helm's preliminary findings on Monday.
Helm was hired by the authority to conduct an evaluation of permitting and financing aspects of three desal proposals, including Cal Am's north Marina desal plant, Nader Agha's People's Project, and Brent Constantz's Deep Water Desal, as part of a larger comparison study being led by SPI, Inc.
Helm wrote that he was struck by the "limited ability" of the state Public Utilities Commission to act as lead agency for environmental review of the desalination project based entirely on the structure of Cal Am's proposal.
A cursory review of available data for the projects, he wrote, indicated that all three of the proposals include "difficult issues" with the "substantial potential" to present obstacles during environmental review that could result in project delays.
Neither Cal Am's subsurface intake approach, which employs slant wells to provide desal plant feeder water, nor the open ocean water intake method employed by the People's Project and Deep Water Desal, is clearly superior, Helm said.
Given the potential that problems with either approach could prove fatal to any preferred project's future, he wrote that "it is imprudent for the (authority) to put all of its reliance upon an administrative process that is designed around a preference for one alternative versus another."
Instead, he argued he felt "very strongly that the (authority) should make every effort to ensure that these fundamentally different approaches is given equal footing in the environmental review.
"Indeed, to my way of thinking, the administrative process for review would be fundamentally flawed if it were to preÐdetermine which of these methods of interfacing with the ocean is superior to the other."
Helm said the authority could play a vital role in answering critical questions related to the proposals and the environmental review process.
He said the CPUC is preparing a notice of intent and is expected to conduct environmental review scoping hearings in the next few weeks.
Helm also suggested schedules for the desal proposals all seem to be "overly optimistic" given the uncertain path for environmental review and the difficult questions to be evaluated and resolved, and recommended the authority work with the project proponents on a more detailed compliance schedule.
Helm said it has taken other desal projects, such as Carlsbad, several years to obtain major permits such as coastal development and pollution discharge following certification of an environmental impact report.
The advisory committee postponed consideration of a preliminary report from SPI, which found that all three desal proposals included potential obstacles that could be overcome by the 2016 deadline for providing a replacement source of water for the Peninsula, which is facing a stateÐordered cutback in pumping from the Carmel River.

Blues rally past Rebels
11 Feb 2012
The Blues fought back from a 18-7 half-time deficit to beat the Rebels 31-21 in Melbourne.
English flyhalf Danny Cipriani starred in the first half of the pre-season match as he spearheaded the Rebels' assault that troubled the Blues regularly. It was his break that put winger Cooper Vuna through for the first try while his cross kick set up wing Mark Gerrard out wide for an early 15-0 lead.
Blues speedster Sherwin Stowers chased down a chip ahead to score, but his team still trailed 18-7 at the break.
The Auckland franchise then completed a great comeback with tries from fullback Isaia Toeava (2) and hooker Tom McCartney.

No wonder payout czar Feinberg's a succeessful well-connected insider DC attorney. He's so slick he's decreed the fisherman who contracted to work cleaning up the poisons BP spews will have their income from that work deducted. From what? From what ever settlement he may award them for damages…damages from BP's oil apocalypse.
Yep, Czar Feinberg, in his generosity, demands the fisherman cleaning up BP's posions from our public waters do their work for free. Such an opportunity! Shock Doctrine, meet Czar Doctrine: Feinberg's gone neo-feudal on the Gulf. This Czar's using the job Obama and BP's top man picked him for to get back to his roots….in 16th centruy Russia. Is that where the President hopes to bring the wounded Gulf?

Oh yeah that 6 million/year mega super TV contract how could I forgot that *rofl* If they Coyotes are going to be relocated what other option is there right now? Seattle like I said is an afterthought they want the NBA 1 and NHL 2 that worked out well for Atlanta didn't it?
Honestly I think the BOG (if they have a brain) will push hard for QC because of all the gambles they'll want some staple incomes for the coming years and QC would provide that. The only US city I can see in the mix would be Hartford (long way to go still) but they'd want the NHL first instead of an afterthought.
Hartford didn't do so well before, what makes you think that would change now?
