Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
The Borobudur Temple Compounds is one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world, and was built in the 8th and 9th centuries AD during the reign of the Syailendra Dynasty. The monument is located in the Kedu Valley, in the southern part of Central Java, at the centre of the island of Java, Indonesia.
The main temple is a stupa built in three tiers around a hill which was a natural centre: a pyramidal base with five concentric square terraces, the trunk of a cone with three circular platforms and, at the top, a monumental stupa. The walls and balustrades are decorated with fine low reliefs, covering a total surface area of 2,520 m2. Around the circular platforms are 72 openwork stupas, each containing a statue of the Buddha.
The vertical division of Borobudur Temple into base, body, and superstructure perfectly accords with the conception of the Universe in Buddhist cosmology. It is believed that the universe is divided into three superimposing spheres, kamadhatu, rupadhatu, and arupadhatu, representing respectively the sphere of desires where we are bound to our desires, the sphere of forms where we abandon our desires but are still bound to name and form, and the sphere of formlessness where there is no longer either name or form. At Borobudur Temple, the kamadhatu is represented by the base, the rupadhatu by the five square terraces, and the arupadhatu by the three circular platforms as well as the big stupa. The whole structure shows a unique blending of the very central ideas of ancestor worship, related to the idea of a terraced mountain, combined with the Buddhist concept of attaining Nirvana.
The Temple should also be seen as an outstanding dynastic monument of the Syailendra Dynasty that ruled Java for around five centuries until the 10th century.
The Borobudur Temple Compounds consists of three monuments: namely the Borobudur Temple and two smaller temples situatued to the east on a straight axis to Borobudur. The two temples are Mendut Temple, whose depiction of Buddha is represented by a formidable monolith accompanied by two Bodhisattvas, and Pawon Temple, a smaller temple whose inner space does not reveal which deity might have been the object of worship. Those three monuments represent phases in the attainment of Nirvana.
The temple was used as a Buddhist temple from its construction until sometime between the 10th and 15th centuries when it was abandoned. Since its re-discovery in the 19th century and restoration in the 20th century, it has been brought back into a Buddhist archaeological site.
Criterion (i): Borobudur Temple Compounds with its stepped, unroofed pyramid consisting of ten superimposing terraces, crowned by a large bell-shaped dome is a harmonious marriage of stupas, temple and mountain that is a masterpiece of Buddhist architecture and monumental arts.
Criterion (ii): Borobudur Temple Compounds is an outstanding example of Indonesia's art and architecture from between the early 8th and late 9th centuries that exerted considerable influence on an architectural revival between the mid-13th and early 16th centuries.
Criterion (vi): Laid out in the form of a lotus, the sacred flower of Buddha, Borobudur Temple Compounds is an exceptional reflection of a blending of the very central idea of indigenous ancestor worship and the Buddhist concept of attaining Nirvana. The ten mounting terraces of the entire structure correspond to the successive stages that the Bodhisattva has to achieve before attaining to Buddhahood.
The boundaries contain the three temples that include the imaginary axis between them. Although the visual links are no longer open, the dynamic function between the three monuments, Borobudur Temple, Mendut Temple, and Pawon Temple is maintained.
The main threat to the ensemble is from development that could compromise the extraordinary relationship between the main monument and its wider setting and could also affect the Outstanding Universal Value of the property. The approach to the property has to a degree already been compromised by weak developmental regulations.
Tourism also exerts considerable pressure on the property and its hinterland.
There is a growing rate of deterioration of the building stone, the cause of which needs further research. There is also a small degree of damage caused by unsupervised visitors.
The eruption of Mount Merapi is also considered as one of the potential threats because of its deposit acidic ash as happened in 2010.
The original materials were used to reconstruct the temple in two phases in the 20th century: after the turn of the century and more recently (1973-1983). Mostly original materials were used with some additions to consolidate the monument and ensure proper drainage which has not had any significant adverse impact on the value of the property. Though the present state of Borobudur Temple is the result of restorations, it retained more than enough original material when re-discovered to make a reconstruction possible.
Nowadays the property could be used as a Buddhist pilgrimage site. Its overall atmosphere is, however, to a certain degree compromised by the lack of control of commercial activities and the pressure resulting from the lack of an adequate tourism management strategy.
Protection and management requirements
The protection of the property is performed under Indonesian Law No. 11/2010 concerning Cultural Heritage and its surrounding cultural landscape. It is executed under a National Strategic Area and the Spatial Management Plan by the Ministry of Public Works in accordance with the Law concerning Spatial Management No. 26/2007 and Governmental Regulation No. 26/2008 concerning National Spatial Planning and will be enforced further by another presidential regulation regarding the Management for the Borobudur National Strategic Area that is still being drafted by the Ministry of Public Works.
The legal and institutional framework for the effective management of the property is regulated by a Presidential Decree Number 1 Year 1992. The established zones within the World Heritage property are respectively under the responsibility of the Borobudur Heritage Conservation Office under Ministry of Education and Culture, of state-owned institute PT. Taman Wisata Candi Borobudur under the Ministry of Enterprises, and of the local governments (Magelang Regency and Central Java Province). A study on the integrated management of Borobudur Temple Compounds has been conducted, including attention for the ecosystem, social and cultural aspects, ecotourism, public and private partnership and organisational feasibility study. This study is the basis of the still to be developed visitor management approach.
In order to ensure consistency between the 1992 Presidential Decree and the 1972 JICA Master Plan zone-system indicated in the World Heritage nomination dossier and to strengthen the regulations regarding development, a New Presidential Regulation is still being formulated by a Coordinating Board (14 Ministries and local authorities as well as representatives of local communities) and by formalizing the role of the proposed Management Board into the wider zones. In addition, the protection of the property has been ensured by the regular financial contribution by the national budget.
Monitoring programs has been effectively executed to monitor the growing rate of deterioration of building stone and also damage by unsupervised visitors. A research is being conducted to determine the long- term impact of deposit acidic ash of eruption of Mount Merapi to set further protection and conservation management of the property. Furthermore, a risk preparedness plan will be formulated in 2012.
The Borobudur Heritage Conservation Office has conducted community development programs targeting especially at the youth to raise their awareness. In improving and empowering local community as specialist guide for Borobudur Temple Compounds, several training programs have been conducted. The community development related to economical sector (small enterprises that produce traditional handicrafts, culinaries, etc) have already being conducted by the municipalities of Magelang Regency and Central Java Province.
Long Description
Borobudur is one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world. Founded by a king of the Saliendra dynasty, it was built to honour the glory of both the Buddha and its founder, a true king Bodhisattva. The name Borobudur is believed to have been derived from the Sanskrit words vihara Buddha uhr, meaning the Buddhist monastery on the hill. Borobudur temple is located in Muntilan, Magelang, and is about 42 km from Yogyakarta city.
This colossal temple was built between AD 750 and 842: 300 years before Cambodia's Angkor Wat, 400 years before work had begun on the great European cathedrals. Little is known about its early history except that a huge army of workers worked in the tropical heat to shift and carve the 60,000 m3 of stone. At the beginning of the 11th century AD, because of the political situation in Central Java, divine monuments in that area, including the Borobudur Temple became completely neglected and given over to decay. The Sanctuary was exposed to volcanic eruption and other ravages of nature. The temple was not rediscovered until the 19th century. A first restoration campaign, supervised by Theodor van Erp, was undertaken shortly after the turn of the century. A second one was led more recently (1973-82).
A harmonious marriage of stupas, temple-mountain and the ritual diagram, this temple complex was built on several levels around a hill which forms a natural centre. The first level above the base comprises five square terraces, graduated in size and forming the base of a pyramid. Above this level are three concentric circular platforms crowned by the main stupa. Stairways provide access to this monumental stupa. The base and the balustrades enclosing the square terraces are decorated in reliefs sculpted in the stone. They illustrate the different phases of the soul's progression towards redemption and episodes from the life of Buddha. The circular terraces are decorated with no fewer than 72 openwork stupas each containing a statue of Buddha.
Stylistically the art of Borobudur is a tributary of Indian influences (Gupta and post-Gupta styles). The walls of Borobudur are sculptured in bas-reliefs, extending over a total length of 6 km. It has been hailed as the largest and most complete ensemble of Buddhist reliefs in the world, unsurpassed in artistic merit, each scene an individual masterpiece. The narratives reliefs on the main walls read from the right to left, those on the balustrade from left to right. This was done for the purpose of the Pradaksina, the ritual circumambulation which the pilgrims make moving on the clockwise and keeping the sanctuary to the right.
The Karmawibangga reliefs on the hidden foot are devoted to the law of karma. The Lalitavistara series do not provide a complete biography of the Buddha, from the Hushita heaven and end his sermon in the Deer Park near the Benares. Jataka are stories about the Buddha before he was born as Prince Sidharta. Awadana are similar to Jataka, but the main figure is not the Boddhisatva, and the saintly deeds are attributed to other legendary persons.
The stories are compiled in the Dvijavadana (Glorious Heavenly Acts) and the Awadana Sataka (Hundred Awadanas). The first twenty panels in the lower series of the first gallery depict, the Sudhanakumaravadana. The series of reliefs covering the wall of the second gallery is devoted to Sudhana's tireless wanderings in search of the Highest Perfect Wisdom. The story is continued on the wall and balustrade of the third and fourth galleries. Its depiction in most of the 460 panels is based on the holy Nahayana text Gandavyuha, the concluding scenes being derived from another text, the Badracari.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC

Good Use of Space
The 232 maximizes the storage capability aboard, maximizes the seating and the cockpit space.
Plenty of Seating
The bow seating is awesome with double-stitched material, and well-padded cushions for greater comfort and longer life.
Well-Arranged Helm
Some interesting options offered on the 232 are LED lights under the lip of the stern that light up the swim platform, a wakeboard tower, Perfect Pass, Trim Tabs, GPS and super sound system with XM Sa
Huge Sun Pad
If you enjoy laying out in the sun, this model has plenty of room for it. The stern seating converts from a huge sunpad to a comfortable seat with a simple flip of the headrest.
By Capt. Bob Smith
Cobalt brings new products to the market every year now, and this year is no different.
The 232 has a smart stainless scuff plate that protects the bow from the typical bumps and bangs that you see on the trailers and the docks. Our test boat had the optional docking lights which prove to be very handy when you're approaching the trailer in the dark after a long day on the water. The anchor locker is large enough for a good sized anchor and plenty of line.
Plenty of Seating Aboard
The bow seating is awesome with double stitched material, and well-padded cushions for greater comfort and longer life. Lift the bottom cushions and you have tremendous storage for gear and other items. The lounger backs swing into the bow to reveal monstrous storage inside them. Your life vests can be neatly organized on hangers and still have room for bumpers on the floor below them. Add optional filler cushions that are simple to install in the bow, and you have a large lounging area for catching some rays.
A panel in the walkthrough allows you to block the chilly air that passes below the windshield. The windshield has Cobalt's unique latching mechanism that keeps the flip-over locked securely in place. The windshield itself allows even more space in the cockpit. In fact, you get a full 84 inches of space from side wall to side wall in the cockpit. In-floor storage is cavernous and perfect for storing skis.
Smart Looking Helm
The helm features very comfortable seats and has a good clear view over the dash. The companion seat can be upgraded to have vertical adjustments and lumbar supports.
Some of the interesting options offered on this model are LED lights under the lip of the stern that light up the swim platform, a wakeboard tower, Perfect Pass, Trim Tabs, GPS and super sound system with XM Satellite stereo.
Stern Features
Moving back the rear of the boat features a wraparound lounge on the port side with a small bench across from it separated by the walkthrough. The rear seat section has a flip-flop backrest that becomes a headrest for the stern sun pad. This seat is also part of the engine hatch which means you gain even more space in the cockpit. Lifting the hatch, you can see the healthy gasket Cobalt uses to seal the engine from the weather, and you from the noise of the running engine. Generous space around the engine will make pre-launch checks easy, and will allow your mechanic to get any job done faster when they do service work. Over on the port side is a large storage area which is exposed to the heat of the engine; this way any wet gear you've got aboard can dry off quickly.
Extended Swim Platform
Stepping up on the walkthrough, you can access two hatches under the sun pad. The first is a large storage compartment, and the second storage box has the swim shower and water controls in it. The extended swim platform is plenty large for play, and allows you to easily put your skis on. Access to the large port side storage for skis is through a trunk hatch. Our boat had a ski pylon stored in this box, which slips into a center hole to give you a professional ski tow pylon.
After running the film, we ran the boat on a freshwater lake in the rain. Remember, when you are looking at the numbers, these were taken at an elevation of 2000 feet. We tested the 5.7L Gi from Volvo and the Volvo 8.1GXi on the 232 model, and found the 8.1 GXi could get the boat up on plane in a mere 3.9 seconds and up to 30 miles-per-hour in only 6.6 seconds. We found her cruise speed to be around 32.8 miles-per-hour at 3000 rpm. At cruise she is capable of delivering a range of about 137 miles on a full tank of fuel. When I pushed her to top end turning 4900 rpm the boat achieved a thrilling 56.5 miles-per-hour.
The all-new 232 measures 23'11" length overall, and when you add the extended swim platform, the overall length is 25'11". She has a beam width of 8'6" and dry weight of 4600 pounds. The fuel capacity on this model is 50 gallons and the water capacity is 10 gallons. With the outdrive up this boat can slip into water as shallow as 21 inches, and with it down you'll need 37 inches of water below the hull.
The 232 from Cobalt brings a great new option for boaters to enter into the elegant Cobalt family, or simply to move up to a larger version as your family grows. The 232 maximizes the storage capability aboard, maximizes the seating and the cockpit space to give you an even bigger feeling boat.

OWLS HEAD, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Federal and local investigators are still trying to figure out why that plane hit a truck on the airport runway in Owls Head Friday afternoon.
The crash that followed killed all three people on board the plane.
Two were University of Maine students and one was a UMaine graduate... all members of the Lambda Chi fraternity there.
Investigators say they truck that was crossing the runway at the Knox County Airport, and they say that is not unusual. The airport manager says some airport workers and private pilots are trained to drive on the runway, and are required to use VHF radios to notify airplanes they're doing so.
The Knox County Sheriff's Department says there was radio communication, but it isn't clear yet if the plane heard the message. Investigators and others at the airport say they also don't know why the truck and plane did not see each other.
University of Maine officials say they're doing what they can to support families of the crash victims and the members of their fraternity. The University is planning a public memorial event when students return following Thanksgiving break.
Meanwhile, leaders of the Maine National Guard confirm that the pilot of the plane, William "B.J." Hannigan III of South Portland, was also a member of the Maine Air National Guard. They say the airplane was owned by an organization called the National Guard Aero Club , but they say it is a private club with no official connection to the Air Guard or Maine National Guard.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Christie This product has been helpful. My Superfeet Black insoles have been helpful, but I'm still having problems with plantar fasciitis. I'm still looking for the perfect product. February 28, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Superfeet user for life Superfeet inserts Great pair of inserts. I bought a pair for my daughter. Especially for the types of shoes she wears that are flat (converse, vans etc) I have a pair for myself and I no longer get shin splints from jogging. May 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by fink perfect I've got flat feet, and when I would play in my cleats I had no support, and would leave the field with a lot of pain in my ankles. These solved the problem immediately, I wasn't rolling my ankles all over the place, and I was able to play point after point without grimacing in ankle pain. October 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by pamela57g LOVE my Superfeet BLACK insoles - Highly recommend!! I have plantar fasciitis and have Superfeet in all of my shoes...green, berry and copper. I have found the BLACKs to provide the best comfort and support in my golf shoes!! I can now play a round of 18 holes one day without coming up lame and am able to do it again the next day thanks to my Superfeet BLACKs!! July 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by SoccerCoach I wish I knew about these years ago I have played soccer my entire life and now I coach. After having increasing pain in my ankles after practices I saw a Physical Therapist. She recommended I use Super Feet before treatment. Athletic shoes offer little or no support. I spend hours in these shoes every day and they were quietly killing me. After using the inserts, my pain is going away and I can actually run around again with my players. I immediately purchased these for my two boys who also play. They LOVE them and feel much better after games and practices. June 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by GFranco Comfort All Day Long! I have been using SuperFeet for years! Working on my feet all day - they keep me comfortable. Can't imagine life without them. March 15, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Mark the Middle-Aged Soccer Player Happy Feet Work Great I got the black Superfeet inserts to put into my Adidas soccer kleats about 3 weeks ago. These things are fantastic and can be folded (and trimmed if necessary) to fit the contour of your feet and the shoe. They add needed support (and shock absorption) without the player ever really noticing it. I think these may only be available through the web, but if you don't need high performance inserts like these, your local store will likely also stock other types of inserts not necessarily meant to absorb as much shock but which work great for your standard walking shoe or tennis shoe. I've used these as well and can't say enough good about the line of foot support available from DicksSportingGoods ! May 31, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5�by TC I will continue to buy very good for my son's feet he has a high arch August 14, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5�by RunnerBoy Blistered Feet I don't recommend that people but these. I bought them and jogged as a usually do. They created huge blisters on the bottom of my feet. I had to visit the doctor to get treated. And, I haven't been able to jog in almost two weeks. I'm very disappointed. September 5, 2013

About 25 years ago, 3 of use went out to watch a grumby friends maiden flight on a plane that he'd been working on for months in his spare time. He got it about 6 feet off the ground straight into a power pole at 50 mph. The look on his face was priceless, The three of us rolling on the ground must have been the same.

Comments On Oct 24, 2012:Not sure why thumb throttles were invented to begin with other than to sell a twist throttle kit. When a rider 'freaks', the thumb sticks and even the 'roll on' throttle wll pin the throttle WFO either way. So thumb throttles provide no greater safety. This kit is easy and clear in instructions. Follow it to the letter and you will have an easy install. Make sure to buy the idle screw kit if required - saves time and frustration. Hardest part is tapping the carb for the idle screw. Two screws needed for the Yamaha Banshee. As the insturctions say, " If not experienced in this, have a shop do it for you." Wiser words were never written. If you or an accomplished bike mechanic buddy have tapping experience - go for it! Wish I had bought it sooner.

Reverdia opens world's first large-scale plant for biobased succinic acid in Italy
7:35 AM MST | December 13, 2012 | Sotirios Frantzanas
Reverdia (Delft, Netherlands), a joint venture between DSM and Roquette (Lestrem, France), says it has begun production of biobased succinic acid at its newly built commercial-scale plant at Roquette's site at Cassano Spinola, Italy. The plant is the world's first dedicated large-scale facility for the production of succinic acid from renewable resources, with a production capacity of about 10,000 m.t./year, Reverdia says. The facility is also the only commercial facility to benefit from experience gained using low pH–yeast technology at demonstration-plant...

Immaculata Church
Hi, I'm Mark, and I'm from Oak Park, California. This is Founders Hall. It was originally the College for Women, and today it houses several of our academic departments as well as classrooms. On the upper floor is a freshmen residence hall. Just inside the doors is Founders courtyard, and beyond that, Founders Chapel. Let's go check it out!
Begun in 1951, the chapel took two years to complete. It was designed by Mother Rosalie Hill, one of USD's founders. It is a reproduction of a 16th century Spanish Renaissance chapel. The carved, gold leaf, high altar or reredos, was made in Mexico and is full of symbols. All the figures were carved in Italy. The hand-sculptured altar is made of Italian Botticini marble.
The 68 elaborately carved Philippine mahogany choir stalls are decorated with hand-carved symbols. The Stations of the Cross are oil paintings on gold leaf in mosaic style. The chapel's stained glass windows, made of translucent glass, represent various Gospel scenes.
The chapel has daytime mass throughout the week as well as a few evening masses for students.
Another place of worship on campus is the Immaculata, a Catholic parish serving the local community. It is a landmark in San Diego and it's blue dome can be seen from all around the city. There are some very special USD events held in the Immaculata, including the Mass of the Holy Spirit, which brings together the community at the start of the fall semester.
The University of San Diego is a Roman Catholic institution. While not affiliated with any particular religious order, USD offers a values-based education and provides opportunities for students to pursue their faith and get involved, through service, retreats, as well as their coursework.

New, greener buildings and walking paths
by Agnes Blum
Staff Writer
You wouldn't know it driving down Sangamore Road in Bethesda, but high on a bluff, overlooking the Potomac River and tucked behind tall trees, is the 30-acre Intelligence Community Campus.
On Thursday, the Montgomery County Planning Board heard the latest on the construction plans on the site, a federal facility that is being retrofitted by the Defense Intelligence Agency and the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
The plans were submitted voluntarily to the board, which made 11 recommendations that will be sent to the National Capitol Parks Commission. One recommendation is to ensure that all of the glass being used would be treated to deter birds, who often fly into glass windows, injuring or even killing themselves. Other recommendations were to use permeable pavements on all pedestrian paths and try to capture more storm runoff.
A complete list of recommendations is posted at http://www.montgomeryplanningboard.org/agenda/2013/documents/06202013IntelligenceCommunityCampusBethesda_000.pdf.
Thursday's discussion centered on one building, the Centrum building, on the south campus. The footprint of that building will be 40,470 square feet, according to documents, and will have environmentally friendly design elements, such as a green roof.
Dana Pomeroy, who is leading the design and building team for the Whiting-Turner Contracting Company, said it was essential the development "fit into the fabric of the community."
That means lots of green space and woods and using materials and colors that blend in with the architecture of the neighborhood.
The campus will be a secured site and not open to the public, but Pomeroy said that "we wanted families and folks to not feel like this was a prison."
To that end, they plan to install numerous jogging, walking and bike trails for employees to use before, after and even during work.
The site will be an "intelligence center" and a major employer in the area, with about 3,000 employees.
The Intelligence campus will be renovated as part of the 2005 federally mandated Base Realignment and Closure, which moved thousands of National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency employees from Bethesda to Fort Belvoir, Va., leaving room for additional employees in Bethesda.
The campus will host employees from the National Intelligence University, additional personnel from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), administrative personnel from the Defense Intelligence Agency, and select personnel from the National Media Exploitation Center, an agency that analyzes collective intelligence, such as documents.
Bobby Bourgeois, the program manager for the project at the Defense Intelligence Agency, said community engagement was paramount to the project's success, so the agency updated the community regularly with letters and meetings.

Comments about AA Battery iPhone and USB Phone Charger:
This is the best AA to USB charger I have found. It's even better than iGo's adapter.
It automatically turns itself on and off, as needed. It slowly charges your device- this is good for your device, and it enables the charger to efficiently consume the AA cells.
Please note that AA cells are no match for smartphones and iPads. They will charge the device, but not completely. For example, a brand new set of AA cells charged my iPad mini from 71% to 95% before they were exhausted.

Ever wonder how a cloud is formed? Try this experiment to find out. You can make your own homemade cloud by using simple ingredients. A cloud needs three basic ingredients to be formed, water vapor; dust, smoke or other particles in the air; and a drop in air pressure. With all these ingredients present you can create a cloud, even at home! This experiment involves matches, so kids - don't try this without an adult!
- 2-liter clear plastic pop bottle
- matches (children will need adult assistance to light matches)
- warm water
- Fill the clear plastic 2-liter bottle one-third full of warm water and place the cap on. As warm water evaporates, it adds water vapor to the air inside the bottle. This is the first ingredient to make a cloud.
- Squeeze and release the bottle and observe what happens. You'll notice that nothing happens. Why? The squeeze represents the warming that occurs in the atmosphere. The release represents the cooling that occurs in the atmosphere. If the inside of the bottle becomes cover with condensation or water droplets, just shake the bottle to get rid of them.
- Take the cap off the bottle. Carefully light a match and hold the match near the opening of the bottle.
- Then drop the match in the bottle and quickly put on the cap, trapping the smoke inside. Dust, smoke or other particles in the air is the second ingredient to make a cloud.
- Once again, slowly squeeze the bottle hard and release. What happens? A cloud appears when you release and disappears when you squeeze. The third ingredient in clouds is a drop in air pressure.
Water vapor, water in its invisible gaseous state, can be made to condense into the form of small cloud droplets. By adding particles such as the smoke enhances the process of water condensation and by squeezing the bottle causes the air pressure to drop. This creates a cloud!

PAYT Video Covers Key IssuesDo you have questions about how to implement a pay-as- you-throw (PAYT) program in your community? Look no further for many useful answers. EPA's new video provides a wealth of information on PAYT for residents, city officials, and other community members. The video presents useful insights in the words of local practitioners-those that have successfully gone through the PAYT experience.
The video is organized into two modules-one more technical than the other-which allows the video to speak to the diverse stakeholders involved in PAYT program design. The first module is a 15-minute overview describing what PAYT is and how it works. It is designed to facilitate discussions between planners and elected officials about how PAYT can help manage municipal solid waste. This module also can be used to introduce community members to the unit-based pricing concept and explain its benefits.
The second module runs for an hour and provides the viewer with information on the "nuts and bolts" of PAYT. It is divided into four parts-Getting Started, Operations, Economics and Rate Structure Design, and Program Results-each of which can stand alone as its own instructional unit. This module is geared for solid waste planners and covers community outreach strategies, illegal dumping, multifamily units, and setting a rate for your program."I wish such a tool had been around when we were designing our program. It would have been very helpful to us!"
- Ellen Ryan, city official, San Jose, California
Both modules present the experience of dozens of planners, elected officials, residents, and researchers from PAYT communities across the country and answer both basic and detailed questions about unit-based pricing. To order a free copy of this informative video, fax or mail in the order form found in this bulletin, order online at www.epa.gov/payt/order.htm, or call the PAYT Helpline at 888 EPA-PAYT.
New and Improved PAYT Web Site
Pay-As-You-Throw Online (www.epa.gov/payt) has a new look and new information to go along with it. Surfers can browse a list of PAYT links, and obtain the updated list of cities and towns in the United States using PAYT. Other added features include the fall issue of the PAYT Bulletin, a site map, and an order form for PAYT publications and tools.
Coming Soon: Help with Rates
Determining a rate for your PAYT program can be a challenge. A rate that is too high can cause community dissent, while a rate that is too low could create financial problems. Rate Structure Design: Setting Rates for a Pay-As-You-Throw Program is a new EPA handbook created to help local officials and others design a rate to strike the necessary balance. This publication will help you understand and work through the different approaches to developing a pricing structure for your PAYT program. Look to the next PAYT Bulletin for information on how to order this valuable tool.
Source Reduction Planning Tools Available
EPA's manual, Source Reduction Program Potential Manual: A Planning Tool, and its companion software ReduceIt (EPA530-E-97-001) are available from EPA's NEPIS Web site.
The manual and software are designed to help solid waste managers evaluate the potential impact of various source reduction options on local solid waste programs. The manual allows users to calculate the potential of three residential programs (grasscycling, home composting, clothing reuse) and three commercial or industrial source reduction programs (office paper reduction, converting to multiuse pallets, paper towel reduction). The manual also provides worksheets and explains how managers can apply their own waste data to develop local estimates. The interactive ReduceIt software, a Windows-based (3.1 or later) application, offers an easy-to-use electronic version of the worksheets provided in the manual. These tools also guide users through steps to help estimate cost savings associated with implementing these source reduction programs.
Any questions regarding the use of these tools can be resolved by phoning EPA's toll-free message center at 888 249-8883.

You know shale gas and America is discovery of an American treasure throughout the country were -- and out that we can extract oil and natural gas from the shales. And -- resource -- that American's domestic that we can create jobs with. In south Texas we have the eagle for though -- is may be one of the nationals in North America does not just gas but it has little in common -- rich and that I I. It's the one who thinks there's -- people that they've beaten New York Times which -- -- particularly on table why I think to the industry that it's it at that natural gas extraction dirty business it is spoils the -- it makes it so that. Odd that may -- -- -- threat treasury -- are reservoirs are going. Are are going to be to -- by this. But why don't get that publicity not the idea that -- this is a cleaner fuel then Cole what I don't wanna going to -- -- can -- people. Well that's a great question because just -- people face of and so doesn't mean it. People do attacked the development -- natural gas because of what's called hydraulic fracturing -- a completion method. In sixty years of utilizing this technology there's not a known example where hydraulic fracture stimulation actually contaminated fresh water resolution. People continue to continue to say that's gonna have -- isn't really great things about south Texas and why it has such a low cost is that you've got the infrastructure down there are no one's down they're trying to say you know you can't do it. We arrived in south Texas is a lot of private plans -- -- is not public a lot of large ranch lands a lot of these areas have been developed for years so they have infrastructure in place road. Pipelines processing plants -- he can also get to market fairly quickly. Now one of things I think that you can probably be better than anyone because of your industry role. Is that this is a -- it's cheaper and cleaner than other alternatives 50% of our utilities our whole they including some or plants forty years old. Could put us at the back end of what -- Copenhagen -- what ever whenever greenhouse here. God it did as a mission you want to talk about. What is the road block here. What is the -- walk in Washington -- to Washington just going to be overrun by the fundamentals. Well I think you're a couple of -- books America's natural gas clearly -- the fuel of the future I mean it's clean it's under carbon fuel. But we now have well over hundred plus years of supply natural -- American ought to be a big part of both a clean energy. Agenda but also a big part of America's energy future and I think the -- wants -- policy side. We've got to -- policy makers if that's true and I think for American progress from the consulate crazy policies that that advocates the use natural gas. But we also have the end users we got to convince union leaders -- we have this long term supply and reliable predictable so silly sort of help Burres who previously -- -- -- yes absolutely there. They're been burned mainly by price volatility -- -- -- -- convinced that the prices within some man. And we're not gonna have these big double -- we just had one of the course winners in history and there was no abandoned all we're lucky for box doesn't -- mean anything to these people it should it should and and that's one of the things we need to keep working on helping the and you understand the reliability. And predictable -- that's the big difference in the market right today. -- -- one I think that I'm concerned about and I know that maybe not for -- for because of your low cost there. But -- -- the report out -- plots today talking about North American -- -- -- put defies break even economics there's so much natural gas being found. And not enough to us store space -- end user demand yet fit maybe this industry is gonna be on economical. But wouldn't that also threaten. -- -- -- Well no actually -- -- all but it won't become an economic what will happen is people move capital away from a lot of your in a little more capital invested in drilling shale -- today right because people are trying to early -- But what happens when the price comes down investment moves away you're seeing a lot of companies and investment conference we've been at -- -- -- -- -- it. It's right everyone I know I did -- a -- -- a good story huge huge stock went up fourteen straight points when they went so called liquid. But you're protecting yourself aren't you and I don't want to lead people -- you've had some very hedges are yes and our company has has been had a significant liquid content for a long time we've always believed in balance -- and vacation. Well mr. Vincent this is -- -- Swift Energy present secretary you've done a marvelous job for shareholders thank you so much coming on the stuff.

We are going to have to concentrate most of our efforts to the northern end of the area because we will be elk hunting in Area 84 the following week. Any advice on how to avoid the crowds and at the same time find where the big mule deer are? I have never hunted this area. We are going scouting in a few days and any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE THIS SEASON!!!

Missouri sinkhole area called 'very dangerous' to public
Southeast Missourian
Mon, 10 Jun 2013 16:45 UTC
Gramling said as the waters of the Mississippi River rose to above flood stage for the second time this spring, the problem worsened. He said one of the sinkholes on South Sprigg Street is about 50 feet in diameter and about 15 feet deep. A second sinkhole near the end of the bridge over the creek is 20 to 25 feet in diameter and is roughly 6 to 8 feet deep.
"And it's growing as we're talking," he said.
The water erodes the soil, causing more sinkholes.
Gramling said employees from Buzzi Unicem are working to address the creek sinkhole. He said the company is damming the creek by the bridge, attempting to isolate the water and keep down the flow into the quarry.
"They're not shut down, but they're trying their best to keep the water down," he said.
City employees are monitoring the creek bridge.
"It hasn't been affected," Gramling said. "We keep an eye on it."
The city and Buzzi Unicem have attempted in the past to fill the sinkholes with rock and concrete, to no avail.
"You can put stuff in them and it just disappears and we've done that for several years," Gramling said. "If we filled the holes up, by tomorrow [the fill] would be gone."
While the crest of the Mississippi River at just short of 45 feet on Friday at Cape Girardeau is good news in many ways, Gramling said it isn't much help as far as the sinkholes are concerned.
"When the water goes down, it actually aggravates them," he said. "It could aggravate them and make them worse."
Gramling said Ameren is keeping a close watch on a major natural gas line that runs through the problem area.
Asked if there's much that can be done, Gramling was not optimistic.
"Not really; just keep an eye on it," he said. "Right now the main thing is safety for the public. It's very dangerous; it's very unpredictable; it's random. It's just not a place for people to be walking around, unless they're emergency workers."
As for the future, the permanent closure of Sprigg Street in the area of the creek is a possibility. The city had to change plans to expand its wastewater treatment plant -- the first few sinkholes were noticed south of the plant -- and instead build a new one in another location.
Gramling said not to expect the closed portion of Sprigg Street to reopen any time soon.
"It will probably be closed now for a while," he said.

Quote of the Day
Comfort, the prevailing word for Progress, in its many different aspects and to varying degrees, forms a sufficient aim for the majority of civilized men of our era. Under these conditions of our times, man is only open to divine values in carefully measured doses, kept within limits so that they do not trouble his bourgeois conscience or threaten the material well-being he has acquired.
