West Fertilizer Co. held $1 million in liability coverage, faced multiple robberies
12:33 PM MDT | May 6, 2013 | Lindsay Frost
The West Fertilizer Co. plant that exploded on 17 April killing 14 people, injuring over 200 others, and causing millions of dollars in damage was recently found to be holding only $1 million in liability insurance coverage, as well as having a history of ammonia leaks caused by numerous burglaries. According to the Associated Press, Randy Roberts, one of the several attorneys who have filed a lawsuit against West Fertilizer's owners, says he wasn't surprised the plant was carrying such a small policy, but he expects the owner to...

This is gonna make for one hell of an ESPiN 30-for-30 documentary in 10-15 years or so. Old testimonies, documents dug up. Victim interviews with masked voices and obscured faces. And to top it all off, a tell-all prison interview with a near-death Jerry Sandusky.
And now his fires have gone out.
I just threw up in my mouth! Who gives a flying **** about the alumni, students, etc! This is exactly what is wrong with this country we are more concerned about a god damn game then child welfare! If a school got the death sentence for gambling the PSU gets it for this and then some. They should lose everything including state and federal funding. The school leadership turned cheek while one of the most despicable crimes was committed for over a decade under their nose. On more then one occasion they had a chance to save a child and they failed! Those individuals should be having 60 years all the same as Sandusky.
A society that fails to protect its children falls its self!

The above post is not subject to penalty under the TOS I declare the Hayden Fox defense. " It is impossible for the staff to know my context therefore I cannot be penalized"
I couldn't agree more on Nike I am done with them! Big freaking deal you took the name of the kid center! I am sure the Iraqi people removed Sadams name of their center for human rights! Give me a break Nike.
Jcane I say let Paternos kid speak. Just shows everyone outside that sick twisted PSU CULT what a twisted **** his dad was and he is! My dad pulled that **** I would lead the charge to hang him.
Living down the street to FSU gives me alittle bit of the perspective of PSU fans. I recall the anger and bitterness from FSU fans when Bobby Bowden was forced into retirement(despite having met the man a few times, and personally being of fan of his, i was in favor of his firing though not of the promotion of Jimbo).
But, despite the outrage, there was no flipped cars and riots(at least that i can recall). And that was over not winning enough games, not the covering up of child rape. I get the devotion. Bowden was comparably worshipped here.
But honestly, this crushing blow to the community of Penn State is a good thing. This thing was so gruesome and tragic that people need to be shaken up and get some perspective. Im glad the alumni arent seeing Paterno as a victim anymore....even if it came many, many, months late.
Terrorist attack count against the Anything Goes Thread: 4
I like this suggestion:
http://aol.sportingnews.com/ncaa-foo...eadid=EL/SICOMTo all the fools who rioted after Paterno was justifiably fired, please report to Beaver Stadium to aid in civilly bringing down that statue. To all the sycophants who still proudly wear their "Joe Knows" T-shirts, kindly spend a day volunteering with young victims of sexual assault. It's precisely because of silence and fear that a staggering number of children—one in six, and that's a conservative estimate—continue to be victimized by monsters like Sandusky.
With its bronze finger raised to signify Penn State—or maybe the coach himself—is No. 1, the statue of Paterno now serves to taunt every child victim.
Blow the damn thing up.
As far as Im concerned this puts Paterno on the list of all time worst people in the world of sports. In fact it has to place him right near the top with OJ and LeBron.
Bill Belichick on "putting the tape on"
This is essentially what Paterno's legacy will be from now on. Even as people who helped build Paterno's supposedly pristine image over the decades realize that they've all been duped. We all were.
However, the most interesting thing in this piece is the part where Rick Reilly talks about the anonymous phone call he got one night from a Penn St. professor in 1986 while Reilly was there to do a fluff piece on Coach Paterno. There were folks back then who perhaps knew what the man was about long before anyone else did.

It took a few points for the Southwestern Community College volleyball team to get going here Wednesday, but once things started clicking, the Spartans breezed through a tough competitor in Iowa Central.
The Spartans swept the Tritons, which received votes in the latest national poll, 25-23, 25-12, 25-17.
"A big win," Southwestern head coach Melissa Blessington said. "They've been to nationals two years in a row, so we knew they had a great team. We knew we just had to come in and I said at the beginning of the match, if we take care of our side, what they do on their side, we'll be fine."
Blessington said the level of competition Southwestern saw over the weekend at the Marshalltown Invitational helped prepare the Spartans to take on Iowa Central, which came into Wednesday's ICCAC matchup with a 2-0 mark in the conference. The Tritons dropped to 8-7 overall and 2-1 in the conference with the loss.
Southwestern, meanwhile, improves to 14-7 for the season and draws to .500 in the ICCAC at 2-2.
Iowa Central held an 8-7 lead in the first set after an ace serve by Kaila Hurley, but Southwestern responded with seven straight points, fueled by two kills and a block by Alex Duffy.
The two teams traded the next four points, as Duffy recorded another kill and another block to put the Spartans up 16-10.
"We kind of always start out a little slow, because I think we're trying to feel out the other team," Blessington said. "I think as soon as we realize we have an edge on someone in a certain area, our girls just go after it. I can't be more pleased with how we played tonight, because Iowa Central is such a good team."
Mel Mangrum got a kill and a block to inch the Spartans closer to game point, and Allyson Kocour emphatically put the first game away with a thunderous kill — one of her team-high nine.
Southwestern controlled the second game right from the very beginning, bolting to an 8-3 lead and then stretching the lead to 14-4. A Mel Mangrum kill put the Spartans in front 22-11 and Mangrum teamed with Kocour for a block to make the score 24-12 before the Spartans put the set away at 25-12.
The third game went back and forth until Molly Schimp served the final six points of the match, including an ace to set up match point. Duffy once again came up big, terminating back-to-back points to give the Spartans a 23-17 lead.
Janaya Fox played well for the Spartans in the back row, Blessington said.
"Janaya Fox has come in," Blessington said. "She played front row for us this weekend and did fantastic. And we're looking to bring her in the front row, but she's a fantastic passer. They kept serving her — I don't know why they kept serving her — and she kept passing nails. She's such a consistent player. Having her back has just made our team that much better. It gives Shelby Sullivan the opportunity to really focus on the front row, which she did fantastic at tonight."
Southwestern returns to action Tuesday at Indian Hills and travels to Northeast Nebraska next Wednesday.

William J. Brennan, Jr.
William J. Brennan, Jr. was born and raised in New Jersey. The second of eight children born to Irish immigrants, Brennan gave early evidence of academic achievement. Brennan completed his law degree at Harvard and entered private practice in his home state of New Jersey. When his practice intruded on his devotion to his family, Brennan opted for service as a trial judge. He was promoted to the state's highest court in 1952.
He was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In a 1987 interview, Brennan recalled his first day on the Court. Later, Eisenhower would publicly admit the appointment was a mistake. That's because Brennan proved to be the most liberal and influential justice on the modern Supreme Court. He authored important opinions in the areas of free expression, criminal procedure, and reapportionment.
As a result of his leadership, Brennan imparted his constitutional vision to a broad coalition of his colleagues. He resigned on account of health in 1990.

Before you die, what do you want to do?
I watched a very inspiring video at TED today, which I'd really like to share; 'Before I die I want to…' given by Candy Chang. She talks about her project; She had a wall of blackboard with words written on saying, "Before I die I want to…" and left it for people to fill it in. It was really heart-moving to know how many people out there living with tender hearts.
How great it is to know that there are people out there with love, dream and hope!
Let's fill in the blanks together
Before I die I want to 'learn how to live.'

Be willing to share a kidney or a piece of their heart and souls if needed for each other. And be safe in the fact, that they each have the others back. No more frustrations, or negative feelings about each other, just hugs and handshakes when they get to spend time together. I pray this every night in my prayers for the bitterness to go away.

The 'TechStyleLAB' has been created in the Fashion School to support learning/teaching, research and commercial investigation of digital design and production technologies in the fashion context. The goal of the TechStyleLAB is to create a model for exploring more localized, sustainable and creative digital supply chains for the fashion industry. A key impact of the TechStyleLAB concept lies in demonstrating how digital design and manufacturing software/hardware can be used in conjunction with rich media interfaces to create dynamic workflows for the on‐demand production of textile/fashion products.
The TechStyleLAB houses a range of digital output devices, such as our wide format digital textile printer and digital embroidery machines in one collective space to allow for a completely vertical on‐demand design/production environment. In addition to our existing equipment and our partnership with the School of Art's Craft/Textiles area to make use of digitally-driven looms, we also seek to add in laser cutting/etching equipment, whole garment knitting machines and more.
The TechStyleLAB will ultimately be able to support small companies as an 'incubator' space to take advantage of combined access to the tools. This process has already started at the grassroots level through initial partnerships with small entrepreneurial Ohio businesses to provide on‐demand production digital prints for textile products. The commercial service is used as a means to generate income to support the TechStyleLAB's activities, as well as to provide a more meaningful understanding of the commercial and production oriented issues of the technology.
The TechStyleLAB places design and business-led inquiry at the heart of its research directive. We welcome explorations into historical/archival research and potential reinterpretations with the digital technologies, wearable technologies, hardware and software development, web‐based presentation and marketing channels, the cultural/social/psychological aspects of textiles, and the creation of artifacts for exhibition purposes.
By housing and creating this research/commercial environment in the context of The Fashion School, we will be able to integrate students into the model for both research projects and commercial service solutions, allowing for rich learning experiences that extend well beyond the standard classroom environment.

Preview | RecapBucs gear up for 2011 A-Sun Indoor Championships
Thursday, February 17, 2011
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 16, 2011) - The ETSU men's and women's track and field teams are set to host the 2011 Atlantic Sun Indoor Championships this weekend on the David E. Walker Track inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
The two-day event starts Friday at 8:30 a.m. with the women's pentathlon, while Saturday's events are slated to begin at 8:30 a.m. with the meet concluding around 4:15 p.m.
The conference will keep the same scoring system from 2010 that saw the top eight athletes score points in each event. ETSU enters the meet as the favorites in six events on the men's side - 60m, 400m, 60mH, 4x400m relay, triple jump and shot put, and two events on the women's side - 60m, 400m.
"Last year's men's championship left a horrible taste in our mouths, and we have been working very hard to make sure that nothing like that ever happens again," said assistant coach Eli Sunquist. "Our men have been doing well all season, and we are looking forward to seeing them perform at a much higher level this weekend. Our goal is not only to win, but also to break some conference records and place as many men as we can in the top three."
The men's team came up just short in 2010 finishing four points back of Kennesaw State for the A-Sun Championship. Currently the men are ranked 14th the USTFCCCA NCAA Division I South Region Poll.
Ifrish Alberg (Paramaribo, Suriname) still holds the top 60m time in the A-Sun (6.81), while Mike James (Palm Bay, Fla.) also has a top time in the 60m hurdles (7.97). Sophomore Tim O'Dell (Palm Coast, Fla.) also leads the A-Sun in the 400m (49.15), and the Bucs have also posted the top 4x400m time this season running almost a second faster than North Florida at 3:18.96.
Newcomers Stephond Allmond (Memphis, Tenn.) and Jesse Aliaga-Jacob (Nice, France) will look to make an impact in the men's heptathlon, while senior Jarrod Burton (Bastian, Va.) will look to win both the shot put and weight throw in his final indoor meet inside of the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
Sophomore Ryan Beaver (Virginia Beach, Va.) also holds the top mark in the triple jump after posting a mark of 49-7 � at the Liberty Open.
"For the women we are looking to have our best team finish in years, as well as possibly double our point total from last year's meet," Sunquist added. "This would help us make the kind of progress that we are looking for in our women's program."
On the women's side, Emani Harrison (Columbia, S.C.) holds the top time in the 60m (7.64), while Jasmine Ingram (Fredrick, Md.) is tops in the 400m (55.11) and will look to take the 200m as well.
Also expected to score big on the women's side will be newcomers Lexie Burley (Johnson City, Tenn.) in the triple jump and Leah Oakhill (Brisbane, Australia) in the high jump and Pentathlon.
Fans can follow the meet live at www.cfpitiming.com. For more information on Buccaneer track and field, visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

As part of the brand-new tennis footwear collection for the 2013 season, HEAD is launching the new Speed Pro III[B], HEAD's lightest and fastest tennis shoe ever. The shoe weighs only 370 grams* but equipped with [B]HEAD TRINERGY™ technology, it provides players with the cushioning, stability and acceleration they need on court.
TRINERGY™ combines HEAD's most proven footwear technologies to optimize tennis players' performance and provide a triple benefit: it cushions and absorbs the energy on impact, transfers it from the heel to the forefoot, and releases it again to maximize upward motion and provide full energy for the next step.
The Speed Pro III Men (available in black/white/copper and blue/white) was designed low to the ground to be light and fast. It features a flexible vamp, breathable mesh plus lateral and heel stability, along with medial and toe protection. A webbing lace frame and half sock construction improve the playability of this shoe, which features an all court outsole profile.
The Instinct Pro II Women (available in white/blue and white/black) leads the 2013 ladies' collection and provides an ideal fit for female tennis players. Also equipped with HEAD TRINERGY™ technology, the shoe comes with a seamless upper construction, webbing lace frame and half sock construction with an all-court profile.
HEAD's brand-new Motion Pro model (available in black/white/blue and white/black) targets a consumer who seeks both performance and comfort.

Charles County high school graduations are coming home in 2015.
The classes of 2015 will walk across stages in Charles County to accept their diplomas, reversing a 13-year practice of holding graduations at the Show Place Arena in Upper Marlboro, the school system announced Thursday afternoon.
This is the last school year for public school graduations outside of the county, said Superintendent Kimberly Hill.
"Graduation is an important milestone, and one that I believe should take place right here in our own community," Hill said.
Hill's decision to require Charles County locations for the class of 2015 graduations is based partly on a policy change at the Show Place Arena. The Show Place Arena changed its rules, limiting Charles County to two rather than three graduations each day, according to a news release from the school system.
As a result, graduations for the class of 2014 are spread across three days, creating challenges for after-graduation activities like Project Graduation.
Five of Charles County's six high schools have used the Show Place Arena for graduations since 2001. The school system secures graduation dates, times and locations more than a year in advance, locking in the Show Place Arena for this school year.
High school principals are planning for 2015 and asking the class of 2015 parents and students for feedback about possible graduation locations. A 2015 graduation location survey is posted on the CCPS website at www.ccboe.com and on each school's website.
This year's junior class will be the first affected by the change. There are a number of options available to schools, Hill said.
"Schools will determine their graduation location and can choose to hold graduations at their own facility, in the Convocation Center at North Point High School or at another Charles County venue. It is up to the principal and school community to decide," Hill said in the release.
This school year, Henry E. Lackey, La Plata, Maurice J. McDonough, Thomas Stone and Westlake high schools graduation ceremonies are scheduled at the Show Place Arena on May 30, June 2 and June 3. McDonough seniors graduate at 10:30 a.m. May 30, followed by Lackey at 3:30 p.m. La Plata's commencement begins at 10:30 a.m. June 2; Westlake follows at 3:30 p.m. Thomas Stone's seniors graduate at 10:30 a.m. June 3. North Point seniors graduate at 6 p.m. June 3 at the school.
McDonough relocated its graduation from the school to the Show Place Arena in 1995, a move gradually followed by the other high schools.
By 2001, all five CCPS high schools held ceremonies at the Prince George's County facility. North Point uses its convocation center, which has seating for nearly 4,700, for graduation ceremonies, a practice started with its first graduating class in 2009.
