Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The three high-flying Blackbird sisters make their hardcover debut in their fourth mystery (after 2004's Some Like It Lethal), a blend of fashion-forward romance and witty suspense. When not assisting Kitty Keough, a Philadelphia society columnist, former debutante Nora Blackbird strives to save the family farm after the sisters' parents "spent our trust funds faster than drunken lottery winners could buy a fleet of Cadillacs." Meanwhile, wild baby sis, Emma, escapes rehab with a media cowboy, and fertile sis, Libby, keeps popping out babies. Assigned to cover the Philly launch for Brinker Holt's revolutionary Brinker Bra ("No need for straps or uncomfortable wires"), Nora recalls Brinker was the creepy preppie who once assaulted Emma and tortured other kids for fun. When Kitty, whom Brinker barred from the show, turns up dead on Nora's doorstep, Nora's lover, Michael Abruzzo, becomes the primary suspect due to his mob connections. Nora, Libby and ace crime reporter Richard D'eath's efforts to investigate more likely suspects lead to a madcap dénouement just in time for Nora's annual New Year's Eve bash and a sparkling but bittersweet surprise. Martin's wicked tongue-in-cheek satire will appeal to fans of Jennifer Crusie, who provides a blurb, and Janet Evanovich.

From Booklist
Nora Blackbird is no singing star, but she knows how to act like a diva, complete with the designer clothes and the little dog in her arms. But Nora is one thing most divas are not: she is broke. Determined to save the family manse outside Philadelphia, frittered away by her parents, Nora is forced (shudder) to get a job. As an assistant for fashion-writer Kitty Keough, she does grunt work for little recognition--such as covering the unveiling of the hot new "Brinker bra." After fighting the crowds for a seat, Nora is shocked to find that her sister Emma, supposedly in rehab, is the top bra model. She is even more shocked to return home and find her boss, Kitty, dead on her doorstep. It's perhaps not quite so shocking to learn that her "mobbed-up" boyfriend is the prime suspect. This third in the Blackbird Sisters series (and first to appear in hardcover) is a laugh-out-loud comic mystery as outrageous as a pink chinchilla coat. Jenny McLarin

Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
My only reservation about this book is the silly job that Nora's sister Libby has taken, which is selling adult sex toys. There were a few good laughs in the book from this new job, but I though I should mention this sub-plot in case anyone might be offended by this subject.
I'm looking forward to the next story in this series, as the reader is left with several cliffhangers about Nora's future.
Martin doesn't disappoint with her play on words when "Cross Your Heart and Hope to Die" centers around "the Brinker Bra" - an invention which turns every woman's physique into the "Jane Russells" of yesteryear. The fashion industry becomes fierce however, when Nora's boss, Kitty Keough - Chief Society Columnist, is "pantyhosed" to death!
Nora has more on her mind, however, than writing a memorial to Kitty, when Michael Abruzzo and his mobster family are implicated in the murder. Between rescuing her two sisters: Libby, who has become the "tupperware porn saleswoman of adult toy products" and Emma who has escaped from rehab to ride bareback as the Brinker Bra's "Lady Godiva" - Nora has her hands full!
This is a series that just keeps getting better with Martin's immaginative plots and multi-dimensional characters. The highest compliment that I can give to her is that when the box arrived from Amazon.com, it contained six new works by six of my favorite authors. Nancy Martin's book was the one I chose FIRST. It was better than every expectation....a great read.
Kitty wakes Nora up to have her cover a fashion show featuring the broken bra designed by Brinker Hill, a high society sadist who almost raped Nora's younger sister Emma when they were in school together. Later that night the murdered body of Kitty is delivered to Nora's front door and the police want to pin the crime on Nora's lover Michael, whose family is mafia connected. To clear his name, Nora takes many chances including breaking and entering into Brinker's office where she thinks evidence exists that could clear Michael.
Michael and Nora come from two different worlds but together they make their own filled with love respect and tenderness. When the outside world intrudes, Nora is like a tiger protecting her mate and she is particularly suspicious of Brinker who couldn't invent a paper plane and is suspected of the arson of his comedy club. There are many people who hated the victim but Nora focuses on Brinker and socialite Hemmings Lamb, a submissive with a criminal bent. Both men had their names on Kitty's calendar on the date she was murdered. Nancy Martin has written a sublime who-done-it filled with laughter, heroes and plenty of action.

The frozen space in a little girl's heart gradually begins to warm thanks to the love of her older sister in director So Yong Kim's portrait of a young innocent forced to come to terms with feelings of loss and abandonment. Six-year-old Jin (Hee Yeon Kim) and her younger sister, Bin (Song Hee Kim), live in a cramped apartment with their single mother. Though their lives are on the edge of disaster, both girls remain completely oblivious to the threats of the outside world. One morning, after Jin wets the bed, their mother packs up all their belongings and sends the girls to live with their alcoholic Big Aunt (Kim Mi-hyang). Suddenly thrust into a hostile and unfamiliar environment, the girls are given a piggy bank and a promise that their mother will return when it's finally been filled. Wrestling with feelings of abandonment despite the fact that she's not mature enough to understand why their mother has left or what may become of her and Bin in the future, Jin showers her younger sibling with affection in order to prevent her from feeling as if all hope has been lost. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

An Upstate New York school board is seeking bids to recoat two building roofs after infrared moisture analysis revealed that the current roof coatings were failing.
The project includes application of a spray-on polyurethane foam and a silicone finish coating. Bids are due March 28. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for March 14.
An infrared moisture analysis, which is used to identify moisture-damaged insulation, concluded that the roofs of two buildings within the Rockland County Board of Cooperative Educational Services were in need of new coatings.
The moisture analysis, performed by Thermo Group, revealed that the roofs of two buildings needed new coatings. Red spots in the thermal image (left) show moisture entrapped near mechanical equipment.
The Thermo Group of Hackettstown, NJ, performed the infrared moisture analysis on the 43,000 square feet of roofing using a FLUKE TiR32 infrared camera. The testing identified 79 anomalies in the existing coating system, with 2,699 square feet of insulation entrapping moisture for a total of 6.3 percent insufficient insulation.
Scope of Work
The contract involves spraying a two-component monolithic polyurethane foam roofing system onto the surfaces of buildings 1 and 2 within the district, according to the bid documents. The roof of building 1 is 19,000 square feet; the roof of building 2 is 24,000 square feet.
The roofs will be primed before applying the roofing system. Metal surfaces will be primed with a two-component, water-based rust-inhibitive coating. Non-metallic roof components will receive a single-component, water-based primer.
The polyurethane system is designed to be self-adhering and seamless, while providing high insulation levels. The foam should be at least one to one and a half inches thick when cured, unless tapering is necessary within an area to provide drainage, according to the documents.
Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) will be used to coat two roofs at Rockland County Board of Cooperative Educational Services in West Nyack, NY.
A single-component silicone coating will be applied on top of the polyurethane foam roofing system, and is intended to act as a protective barrier against the weather. The silicone basecoat will be applied after the polyurethane foam has cured for at least an hour. If more than a day elapses after installation of the polyurethane foam, the area will have to be inspected for signs of UV degradation and oxidation.
Ceramic-coated roofing granules and low-dust roofing granules will be used to prevent skidding. Masking protection may be used to contain the areas to be painted.
About the Schools
The Rockland County Board of Cooperative Educational Services serves eight school districts. The program partners with the Board of Regents, the Commissioner of Education, and local school districts and communities.
Reported by Paint BidTracker, a construction reporting service devoted to identifying contracting opportunities for the coatings community.
Comment from Ashley McDuffee, (3/6/2013, 8:38 AM)
Does the scope of work involve removing the moisture-damaged insulation areas and moisture trapped in the existing roof assembly?
Comment from Brian Churray, (3/6/2013, 3:41 PM)
Ashley - yes, the specifications require that all roof decking must be properly cleaned and dried before refinishing, which includes replacing wet substrates and applying leveling foam to low spots where water ponds.
Comment from Paul Graham, (3/7/2013, 6:53 AM)
It sounds like a complete tear off for this to work. The temperature and humidity have to be perfect for foam installation.. 3 weeks in July? Good luck.
Comment from kevin scheid, (3/7/2013, 10:15 PM)
would anyone like a different solution to this problem given the issues with spray foam when the weather is not exactly right to spray the foam? Also no mention of exactly what the existing material(s) are on the roof at this time. this system that was specified seems a little less than i would expect from a quality specification. would a little help with that be appreciated?
Comment from Brian Churray, (3/8/2013, 2:51 PM)
Kevin - the polyurethane foam-silicone coating system that's specified is intended to match the current roofing system. Also, it's important to note that this article is just a synopsis of those specs, and shouldn't be used to determine the quality of the design work. If you'd like to assess that more directly, please check the documents on the owner's website at http://www.rocklandboces.org/services.cfm?subpage=1213442&adminActivate=1

This application claims the benefit of Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/264,330, filed Jan. 26, 2001.
1. Field of the Art
The present invention relates generally to an electrically powered linear actuator and more particularly to an electrically powered actuator having an inline, direct motor mount and adapted for a variety of robotic or other applications. The invention has particular application to the control of robotic, pedestal or fixture welding guns and specifically, welding guns utilized in the automotive industry. The invention also has application to the actuation of clamping fixtures and the like in various industries such as the automotive industry.
2. The Prior Art
Various industries, and particularly the manufacturing industry, have utilized linear actuators to control the movements of automated welding guns, automated clamping fixtures, and the like. Specifically, in the automotive industry, actuation and control of welding guns and clamping fixtures has been accomplished using fluid actuators such as pneumatic or hydraulic actuators. While fluid actuators have functioned reasonably well for this purpose, they inherently embody various limitations. One, because of the possibility of leaks and failure of seals, etc. in the fluid actuators, there is always the concern of contamination of the worksite by a leaking fluid. Second, fluid actuators necessarily require a source of pressurized fluid and a fluid supply system. This leads to significant maintenance and other costs.
Accordingly, there is a need in the art for an improved actuator which overcomes the deficiencies and limitations of the prior art, and in particular, an improved actuator which is designed for use in controlling the movement of, and accommodating the loads associated with, welding guns, clamping fixtures and the like, such as those used in the automotive industry.
In contrast to the prior art, the present invention relates to an electric actuator having particular application to the actuation of welding guns, clamping fixtures or the like, and more particularly to the actuation of welding guns and clamping fixtures for use in the automotive manufacturing industry. In contrast to the fluid actuators of the prior art, the present invention provides an electrically powered in-line actuator which overcomes the limitations of the prior fluid actuators.
To minimize downtime and infra structure changes and the like during a changeover from existing fluid actuators to the electrically powered actuator of the present invention, the actuator of the present invention has been designed to fit within the same space or package and to be no heavier than existing fluid actuators, while at the same time providing at least comparable speed, thrust and range of movement. This is accomplished by utilizing a ball or roller screw electric actuator concept and by mounting the actuating motor in-line and directly to the actuator drive shaft. To provide additional advantages for maintenance or repair, the electric actuator of the present invention has also been designed to be comprised of a modular construction, thereby facilitating easy disassembly and substitution or repair of modular components.
To provide positioning accuracy to the actuator, a rotary or other similar encoder is provided. Like the motor, this encoder is provided in-line and in direct connection with the actuator drive shaft.
The actuator of the present invention also includes a means and mechanism for manually overriding the electrically powered actuator in the event of a loss of electrical power, actuator jamming or other actuator malfunction and a mechanism for enabling the actuator head and/or end cap to be rotated or mounted in a variety of different positions and/or configurations to accommodate different welding, clamping or actuation environments. In a preferred embodiment, a lubrication assembly is provided for insuring sufficient actuator lubrication and thus a reduction in maintenance. Means are also provided for accommodating the various loads (such as side loads) which are common with the actuation for welding guns and the like.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved actuator for welding guns, clamping fixtures and the like and more particularly for welding guns and clamping fixtures utilized in the automotive manufacturing industry.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved electrical actuator which can replace the conventional fluid actuators of the automotive manufacturing industry without sacrificing size or weight restrictions, while still maintaining comparable thrust, speed, range of movement and load accommodation.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an electric actuator having an in-line, direct motor mount and a manual override.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an electric actuator that eliminates or minimizes impact loading as the thrust tube reaches its innermost travel position.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an in-line electrical actuator in combination with an improved axial bearing retaining means.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an electric actuator with a thrust assembly bearing combination to resist side loads and to isolate the roller screw from any such side loads.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide an electrical actuator for use in the automotive manufacturing industry which provides for universal mounting arrangements.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a lubrication system for the actuator.
These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent with reference to the drawings, the description of the preferred embodiment and the appended claims.
The present invention provides an improved actuator for use in providing controlled and accurate linear movement to a work piece. Although the actuator of the present invention has applicability to a variety of work pieces and in a variety of industries, it has particular application to the actuation of welding guns, clamping fixtures and the like for use in the automotive manufacturing industry. Accordingly, the preferred embodiment will be described with respect to the application of the present invention to welding guns, clamping fixtures or the like, without any implication that the present invention is limited to that application.
In describing the preferred embodiment of the present invention, reference is first made to
The motor section 12 is positioned between the ends 14 and 16 and includes an outer motor housing 18, a bearing plate or block 24 at its proximal end and a bearing plate or block 26 at its distal end. Positioned within the housing 18 is an electric motor 28 with conventional electric motor windings and other functional elements 20 and a motor drive shaft 22. The motor drive shaft 22 is centrally positioned within the housing 18 along the longitudinal axis 13 of the actuator and extends between the bearing blocks 24 and 26. The motor shaft 22 includes a distal end portion 30 which is rotatably supported within the bearing block 26 by the bearing 34 and a proximal end portion 32 which is rotatably supported by the bearing 38 in the bearing block 24. Both of the shaft portions 30 and 32 are integrally formed with and coaxial or in-line with the drive shaft 22 along the longitudinal axis 13. Further, as will be described below the shaft portion 30 is integrally formed with a threaded roller screw 36 and the shaft portion 32 is integrally formed with an encoder shaft extension 40 to support a rotary encoder 77.
As shown in the drawings, the motor shaft 22, the roller screw 36 and the encoder shaft extension 40 are concentric, inline and integrally formed from a single piece of shaft stock. Accordingly, at least all axial movement of or loads against the thrust tube 56 and the thrust tube assembly 46 is resisted by the screw 36. Because any axial movement of the shaft extension 40 and thus the encoder 77, beyond minimal tolerances, will tend to adversely affect the encoder 77 and the accuracy thereof, the shaft 36 must be axially captured relative to the housing 42 and the bearing block 26 to prevent or minimize any such movement.
To axially capture the screw 36 relative to the bearing block 26, the bearing 34 is press fit onto the shaft portion 30 so that its distal axial edge engages a bearing stop 103 which is integrally formed in the shaft portion 30. The proximal axial edge of the bearing 34 is secured relative to the bearing block 26 by a bearing retaining plate 63. As shown best in
The thrust section 16 of the actuator 10 includes a thrust tube housing 42 and a thrust tube head 44. The thrust tube housing 42 is rigidly connected between the bearing block 26 and the head 44 by a plurality of elongated threaded members 23 and 47 to define an internal thrust tube chamber 48. As shown in
Each of the bearing blocks 26 and the tube head 44 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 53 to mount the actuator relative to a fixed support (not shown). Although mounting holes 53 are shown on only two sides of the bearing block 26 and tube head 44, such mounting holes can be provided on all four sides to provide maximum mounting flexibility. Alternate mounting holes 57 (
As shown, the housing 42 is elongated, is generally parallel to the longitudinal axis 13 of the actuator and includes a plurality of sidewalls 43. The length of the housing 42 may vary depending on the desired movement range or function of the actuator. The housing 42, and thus the interior of the thrust chamber 48, has a square or multi-sided cross-sectional configuration. Although the housing may be constructed of a variety of materials, it is preferably extruded and constructed of a lightweight metal or metal alloy such as aluminum.
Positioned within the chamber 48 is a thrust tube assembly 46 which includes a roller screw nut 50, a roller screw coupler 52, a bearing or guide means 54 and a thrust tube 56. As illustrated best in
The impact loading relief assembly for the actuator of the present invention is shown generally in
The rotational component of impact loading between the screw 36 and the thrust tube 56 and end 62 is caused by the continued limited rotation of the screw 36 after initial engagement. This rotational component of impact loading is relieved by means which permits limited rotational movement between the screw 36 and the bumper 58. In the preferred embodiment, this means includes the pair of steel rings or discs 106 and 109 positioned on opposite sides of a self-lubricating, low friction ring or disc 108 at the proximal end of the bumper 58. Preferably, the ring 108 is constructed of a self-lubricating brass material commonly referred to as oilite. A further ring or disc 110 is positioned at the distal end of the bumper 58 as shown so that the bumper 58 is sandwiched between the washers 109 and 110. A tube or sleeve 111 is positioned over the threaded member 60 to support the rings 106, 108, 109, 110 and the bumper 58 as shown. The screw 60 is threadedly received by the distal end of the screw 36 as shown. During impact loading, the proximal edge surface of the thrust rod end 62 engages the ring 110.
Accordingly, it can be seen that the impact loading relief assembly or means in accordance with the present invention includes a means for relieving both the axial and rotational components of impact loading as the thrust tube reaches its innermost proximal position. Although the means for relieving the axial component is shown as the urethane bumper 58, this can include other compressible structure which permits limited axial movement of the end 62 relative to the threaded screw 36 after impact. Similarly, although the preferred embodiment discloses the low friction disc 108 sandwiched between the discs 106 and 109 as the means for relieving the rotational component of impact loading, such means can be comprised of various other structures such as a variety of bearing members which permit limited rotational movement of the threaded screw 36 relative to the bumper 58 or other axial relief means after impact. Further, although the preferred embodiment shows the impact loading relief assembly as being threadedly received in the end of the screw 36, it could also be threadedly received in the end 62.
The roller screw nut 50 is a conventional roller screw nut having a plurality of planetary or peripherally positioned roller screws. During operation of the actuator, these planetary roller screws engage the outer threads of the roller screw shaft 36 and remain rotationally fixed relative to the housing 42 to convert the rotational movement of the shaft 36 into axial movement of the thrust tube assembly 46. Thus, the assembly 46 moves axially between a retracted position shown in
The bearing 54 which guides axial movement of the thrust assembly within the housing 42 is rigidly connected to the roller screw coupler 52 as shown in
As shown best in
The proximal or control and power supply end 14 of the actuator includes an extension 40 of the motor shaft 22 and a rotary encoder 77 mounted to the shaft extension 40. The rotary encoder 77 is a conventional rotary encoder which includes a pair of connection tabs or ears 91 for connecting the encoder 77 to the bearing plate 24. In the preferred embodiment, the shaft extension 40 is integrally formed with and is axially aligned with the proximal shaft portion 32 and thus the motor shaft 22. In the embodiment shown in
A cover 93 is connected with the proximal end of the bearing plate 24. The cover 93 has a generally hollow interior to define a chamber 76 (
As illustrated best in
A motor shaft access cover 90 provides rotational access to the shaft extension 92 through an opening 94 in the cover 93. The access cover 90 is preferably provided with exterior threads to be received by internal threads in the cover 93 and is designed for selective manual rotation and thus removal. When removed, access is provided to the shaft extension 92 through the opening 94 so that the extension 92 and the entire motor shaft 22 and roller screw shaft 36 can be manually rotated by a wrench or other tool if desired.
With the structure in accordance with the present invention, axial movement of the fixture connection end 64 of the thrust tube assembly 46, and thus the welding gun or other fixture attached thereto, can be precisely and accurately controlled by rotation of the motor shaft 22. As the motor shaft 22 and thus the roller screw shaft 36 rotates in a first rotational direction, this rotational movement is converted to an axial movement of the thrust tube assembly 46 and thus the fixture end 64 and attached fixture in a first axial direction such as from the retracted position shown in
In the preferred embodiment, the actuator is generally provided with a lead of about two millimeters (mm) to six millimeters (mm) and preferably about four millimeters (mm). For purposes of the present invention, the "lead" as used in this context is the axial distance which the thrust assembly 46 and thus the connected fixture will advance during one revolution of the roller screw shaft 36. By reducing the lead for a particular actuator, by increasing the thread density, a commensurate reduction in motor size can be made without jeopardizing any thrust. Although speed of movement may be jeopardized somewhat, this is generally not a major issue. Accordingly, with a smaller lead, and thus a smaller motor, the entire package size of an actuator for a given application can be reduced.
The recessed connector post or grommet embodiment shown in
To prevent dust and other contamination from entering the interior of the chamber 48 through the access opening 100, a closure means 99 is provided to close the opening 100 during normal operation of the actuator. In the preferred embodiment, this closure means is in the form of a sliding window or gate 99 which is slideable between a closed position shown in
Accordingly, it can be seen that the actuator modification illustrated in
Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described with respect to a roller screw with planetary roller screws, it is contemplated that other means such as a ball screw or the like, among others, can also be used to convert the rotational movement of the roller screw shaft 36 into axial motion of the thrust tube assembly 46.
Although the description of the preferred embodiment has been quite specific, it is contemplated that various modifications could be made without deviating from the spirit of the present invention. Accordingly, it is intended that the scope of the present invention be dictated by the appended claims rather than by the description of the preferred embodiment.

The Long Beach Freeway (I-710) is a vital transportation artery, linking the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles to major Southern California distribution centers and intermodal rail facilities. An essential component of the regional, statewide and national transportation system, it serves both passenger and goods movement vehicles. The I-710 Freeway experiences serious congestion and safety issues as a result of population growth, increased cargo container volume at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, increasing traffic volumes, and an aging infrastructure.
In March 2005, following an extensive technical and community participation process, Metro completed the I-710 Freeway Major Corridor Study (MCS). The study analyzed congestion and mobility along the corridor in order to develop transportation solutions that preserve and enhance the quality of life of surrounding neighborhoods and communities.
Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS)
For a proposed project to move forward to construction, the extent of environmental impacts must first be determined according to State of California law, through the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and the federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). If potentially significant impacts are anticipated, or if the project is considered controversial, an EIR/EIS is required. The EIR/EIS process simultaneously ensures that the requirements for documenting and reducing environmental impacts of a project are met. Additionally, the process provides for technical analysis as well as public input and participation. It provides the information needed to make a decision regarding the Preferred Alternative for a project.
Draft EIR/EIS Headed for Recirculation
In 2012, a draft EIR/EIS was conducted for the I-710 Corridor Project to identify a Preferred Alternative for the project. Careful review of the latest traffic data, which indicated different traffic patterns than originally identified, and new information gathered during the public review of the Draft EIR/EIS, including a clearer understanding of the origin and destination of truck traffic within and beyond the project area, has prompted further evaluation of the Alternatives for the I-710 Corridor Project.
As a result of this new data and information, Metro and six project participants (see below) decided in March 2013 to release a Recirculated Draft Environmental Impact Report/ Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Study (RDEIR/SDEIS) to analyze the range of possible improvement alternatives for the I-710 corridor. The I-710 Corridor Project RDEIR/SEIS will study 18 miles (Study Area Map) of the I-710 Freeway between the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles and the Pomona Freeway (SR-60), encompassing 15 cities and unincorporated areas in Los Angeles County adjacent to the freeway corridor. This focused RDEIR/SDEIS will update the draft environmental document for the no-build alternative and build alternatives: Alternative 5C and 7. The Project Team is now working on the technical studies that constitute the basis of the environmental document, and it is anticipated that the RDEIR/SDEIS will be released for public review and comment in Spring 2017.
Project Participants
Metro is joined by several partner agencies in completing the I-710 Corridor Project EIR/EIS. These agency partners include the California Department of Transportation, the Gateway Cities Council of Governments, the I-5 Consortium Cities Joint Powers Authority, the Port of Long Beach, the Port of Los Angeles, and the Southern California Association of Governments.
Project Objectives
Metro's objectives for the I-710 Corridor Project EIR/EIS are shaped by priorities identified by stakeholders along the I-710 corridor during and following the MCS effort. These objectives include developing transportation alternatives that will:
- Improve air quality
- Improve mobility, congestion and safety
- Assess alternative, green goods movement technologies
Community Participation
The I-710 Corridor Project EIR/EIS seeks to break new ground in not only identifying impacts and mitigation strategies but in engaging community members and stakeholders in developing strategies to improve air quality, mobility, and quality of life.
Through a representative community advisory committee structure, outreach activities are designed to provide stakeholders the opportunity to work hand-in-hand with the technical team throughout the life of the project. Community participation for the I-710 Corridor Project EIR/EIS is modeled on the highly regarded program used to complete the MCS.
The project team continues to work closely with the advisory committees to provide progress updates and receive feedback from the community. To learn more about the project, please review the information and resources tabs on this website. If you have any questions or comments, please visit the "Contact Us" section on the website for e-mail, regular mail, project hotline, and comment form details.

Skip to comments.Abbas Denounces Murder of Jews in Holocaust as 'Most Heinous Crime in Modern Era'
Posted on 04/27/2014 10:34:57 AM PDT by nickcarraway
Netanyahu: Rather than soothing international public opinion, Abbas should choose between Hamas and peace with Israel.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas released a special message on Sunday in Arabic and in English on the occasion of Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day, in which he decried the murder of Jews in the Holocaust as "the most heinous crime against humanity in modern history.
This is the first time a Palestinian president has ever made such a public declaration.
(Excerpt) Read more at haaretz.com ...
He's still in the process of creating that "unity government" with Hamas though.
I'll bet the statement doesn't read the same in Arabic as it does in English.
I wonder who suggested he do that — and what the incentives were.
Why's that, did Hitler murder some moslems by mistake?
Yea, probably heinous that anyone cares about the Jews, or that Hitler did not succeed.
Nasser made peace with Israel, protected vacationing Jews in Egypt to the benefit of both nations, and passed it on President after President, until Obama's Arab Occupy trashed the benefits.
So it can be done, ...don't think Abbas will do it though.
...b/c Hitler didn't finish the job, right, Abbas?
You clowns aren't fooling anyone.
Oh, not ABBA from Waterloo, of course not!
But murdering Jews by your insane suicide bombers is perfectly okay
What a phony
It was bad, but so was the holocaust in Ukraine
"Abbas has been accused of being a Holocaust denier by Israeli officials in the past, mainly due to claims made in his doctoral dissertation, published as a book in 1983, titled The Other Side: The Secret Relationship Between Nazism and Zionism."
People usually have to defend their dissertation and do,
now will Abass deny and revoke his dissertation, and does that mean his Degree from a Russian University is going to be rescinded?
This is not a real Come to Jesus moment for this Muslim.
The Muslim religion encourages lying to the infidel.
Also, with the EU, Egypt and the US labeling Hamas as a terrorist organization our foreign welfare to the lazy Pallies is in jeopardy of being cut off. Abbas wouldn't want that to happen, so a little lying is easy for him.
"Ill bet the statement doesnt read the same in Arabic as it does in English."
If it does, he's a dead man walking who will, at best, survive as long as he's useful in helping make arrangements with Hamas.
It looks to me like the early stages leading up to the "Confirmation of the Covenant".
nice remark but... he just officially joined up with the Kill All the Jooos wing of the Islamic Party
and he's maintained exactly that position anyway for all these years, he just didn't actually join with Hamas. now he has.
so there can be NO question whatsoever about Abbas. The thing we need to do is squeeze all our American tax money out of his thieving (and murderous) hide, and then send him ASAP to Alluh
he can collect his "rewards" there...
Abbas or if you like his Alias Mazen is the same guy who financed the Munich Massacre, so he is himself a potential war crimes defendant.
The PA is the municipal arm of the PLO who promised in the 1980's in one of those peace treaties to amend their charter calling for the destruction of Israel.
Now they want Israel, just without the Jews living in it.
I say that because they rejected Jews becoming citizens of a Pally state, if they live on soil that becomes under Pally control.
Seemed like Israel felt peace meant Abbas could have a few thousand Jewish citizens like Israel has 1.25 million Arab citizens as part of Israel's culture.
No Abbas wants his country to be ethnically cleansed that to him is peace.
Bibi has FINALLY broken off these silly "take their land and kill the Joooos" negotiations!
so there is yet hope for Israel...
It really, really looks like the good Lord is watching over Israel, that they did not get suckered into another land give=-away for a fake "peace"
one more land giveaway and Israel is done for, since the enemy is trying to grab the high ground in the center of the country (so they can toss their bombs conveniently down on the little Jooos below).... plus the defensive border strip along the Jordan..................the two pieces of land MOST NECESSARY if Israel is to be able to defend herself
very clever of the IslamoNazis, especially since they have their guy in the WhiteHut just now...
but, they blew it. they let their true intentions become so damned OBVIOUS! That even Bibi had to realize the danger of continued "negotiations" with these murderous terrorist thugs. Thank Heaven the "piece negotiations" danger is done with now. Had the IslamoNazis been just a little more cleaver in hiding their true intentions, Israel might have gotten suckered (and Pressured) into a suicidal "deal"
Abbas will be viewed as a sellout by Hamas and could be dead in a matter of days.

I admit, this statement from te holder of a Phd from Patrice Lumumba University, on "The Secret Relationship Between Nazism and Zionism, doesn't impress me. Others will comment on the propensity for Muslims, radical Muslims if you prefer, to lie in furtherance of their objectives.
Kerry and the President will be impressed. Good thing a former President included in the Oslo agreements, with Israel's approval, amnesty for crimes committed prior to the agreements. Though he's best known for the Olympic operation, I suspect without amnesty he would have shared a cell with Yasser, his immediate superior. Yes, shared a cell, Israel doesn't execute mass murderers. Unless they get into larger numbers than the Palestinians have achieved. Not for lack of trying.
That was for the English-speaking listeners, the Arabic version though?

President Abbas: Holocaust is the Most Heinous Crime in Modern Era
RAMALLAH, April 27, 2014 (WAFA) - In response to a question on the occasion of Holocaust Day, raised in conversation with Rabbi Marc Schneier, President Mahmoud Abbas said that: what happened to the Jews in the Holocaust is the most heinous crime to have occurred against humanity in the modern era. He expressed his sympathy with the families of the victims and many other innocent people who were killed by the Nazis.
President Abbas stressed that the Holocaust is a reflection of the concept of ethnic discrimination and racism which the Palestinians strongly reject and act against.
'The world must do its utmost to fight racism and injustice in order to bring justice and equality to oppressed people wherever they are.
[and here's the buried lead]
The Palestinian people, who suffer from injustice, oppression and denied freedom and peace, are the first to demand to lift the injustice and racism that befell other peoples subjected to such crimes.'
'On the incredibly sad commemoration of Holocaust Day, we call on the Israeli government to seize the current opportunity to conclude a just and comprehensive peace in the region, based on the two states vision, Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security.'
Mahmoud Abbas: Still A Holocaust Denier
The New York Times says the Palestinian leaders position shifted. It didnt.

Hey Obama and Kerry, let me Google Mahmoud Abbas for you

PLO President Mahmoud Abas & Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh to reconcile governments (photo credit: IDF, World Economic Forum)
What possessed moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to suddenly join forces with Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, whose organization is bent on Israel's annihilation? As for the timing, it was even more puzzling - it came smack in the middle of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's apparent breakthrough in the clash between Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu over the release of Israeli-Arab terrorists. The latest Abbas gambit has exposed the Palestinian leader's goal of seeking an imposed UN solution, rather than a U.S. brokered peace accord.
[hold your nose, HuffPo!]
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters: "The recognition of Israel by the president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, is not new. What is important is that Hamas did not and will never recognise Israel."
Mahmoud Abbas: "Our goal is a Palestinian state in the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital"
The Amalekites (palestinians) are the very people that Yehova ordered Israel to obliterate from the Earth about 3500 years ago, and their disobedient failure is the reason for their many persecutions since.
Haman was an Amalekite.
Will the "Antichrist" be one too?
>> "author of the piece appears to be either pro-Pali or a Useful Idiot" <<
A redundancy.
>> "Ill bet the statement doesnt read the same in Arabic as it does in English." <<
A common occurrence.
> their disobedient failure is the reason for their many persecutions since.
Had they obeyed, no Amalekite would have been there to trouble them.
They've been hounded, persecuted, rounded up, driven underground, lynched, etc etc, and the Amalekites ceased to exist long long ago.
No, the Amalekites have not ceased to exist. Just had their name changed to protect the guilty.
Only for people who live by metaphor.
There is nothing metaphorical about Israel's plight WRT the Amalekites. It is as real as anything you can name.
Nope, they were annihilated.
The Amalekite genocide
The Sho'ah should be commemorated on Tish`ah Be'Av with all the other Jewish tragedies. A day of mourning in Nisan not only violates Halakhah but subtly implies that this tragedy really happened while the others are myths.

First off the box set has 4 discs, each has the blu-ray movie on it in glorious high definition. The image quality along with the audio to match makes this box set one of the best and highest quality box sets around. The movies are as good as they get when it comes down to movies and if you're asking yourself DVD or blu-ray? My honest advice is to go blu-ray as there is a difference especially when watching on a big screen (ideally plasma). Also buying the blu-ray box set you will future proof your collection, in fact the only downside to the box set is that the saga is not yet finished with them still making movies, but that's hardly a reason not to buy it.
PROS: Excellent quality both in terms or audio and visual effects, region free edition meaning it will work anywhere in the world, excellent value for money, better than DVD especially for deep colours and high action scenes.
CONS: I honestly fail to see any other than the fact that i'm still waiting for the next film to be released....arrr!
VERDICT: If like my you're a Resident Evil fan and want the 1-4 collection then get this you won't be disappointed. As for which edition to go for DVD vs Blu-ray .. get the blu-ray version as you'll be glad you did when you sit down to watch it.... you may even convert your other half like i did!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ... especially for fans!
Not a review of the movies as if you like them then I'm sure you'll buy this set as the price is amazing. Now for the ridiculously low price of £10.99 for 4 Blu Ray films I expected no extra features.. boy was I wrong so here they are listed for anyone who wants to know:

Sneak Peak of Resident Evil: Damnation (Animation Movie)

A special extra bonus in my opinion is Sienna Guillory as Jill Valentine in 2 of the movies!!! Almost forgot to concentrate on the serious nature of the movies when she came on screen... ;o)
As its set in modern times you could almost imagine it was real. The special effects are great too!
Yes, it's all brain-dead stuff, but sometimes we all need to switch off for a while and chill out, and with these movies you really can't go wrong.
With a forth sequel now in cinemas, and writer/director Paul W.S. Anderson promising one final outing for Alice and co. , this is an excellent VFM way of playing catch-up with this highly successful sci-fi horror franchise.

Excellent film set, and a great story arc. Fun action with a splash of horror thrown in. Later films more action than horror, but still very enjoyable.Published 18 hours ago by J. A. Burt

Broadcast: 21/4/1998
Interviewer: George Negus
Negus: Chris Ballard, thanks for joining us. You've just got back in the last couple of weeks from Irian Jaya - you've been on the ground there... how bad are things?... what is the situation as you observed on the ground? Ballard: Well, they're not as bad now as they were perhaps in January or February at the height of the crisis. Things are definitely improving, but there are certainly areas still suffering significant shortages in food and in medicines. Negus: Given the Indonesian government's - to say the least, dubious record on things like human rights and the on-going problems between the Indonesians, or if you like, Jakarta, and the Irian Jayans - and allegations over the years over the years of repression of the local people, is it smart for the Australian government to be involved in this joint exercise to relieve the situation there? Ballard: There are certainly some potential problems there. I think it's potentially dangerous for instance for us to view this purely as a military exercise and not to have a strong civilian component alongside the military. There are many similarities between the conditions in Irian Jaya and those in East Timor, and I think if this was an exercise that we were planning to go ahead with in East Timor we'd probably be thinking a lot more carefully about it. The Indonesians stopped publishing figures for deaths at the beginning of January and here we are four or five months later - and perhaps six months after the height of the famine - gearing up for a major relief operation... and the timing is certainly curious. Negus: What can you tell us about the so-called secret report that's being compiled right now, alleging... or making new allegations if you like, of human rights abuses in particular areas that are drought-affected? Ballard: What it suggests is that there have been massacres of civilians in one of the areas that's most affected by drought, and it's had some of the highest casualties due to famine. And there have certainly been people suggesting that the presence of the military there for almost two years now has exacerbated the situation - people have found it difficult to gain access to their gardens during that period and in effect, there was already a famine before the drought hit. The presence of the military has also scared people into fleeing into the forest, and many people have been in the forest for up to two years now, living largely on forest foods and never in one place long enough to be able to see a crop through to final harvest. Negus: Do we have any idea of how many people may have suffered as a result of this? Ballard: Very difficult to tell indeed, but the figures being claimed are in the aea of thirty or forty people who've been killed. Negus: Is it the case that it's hard to really know what's going on there, because people who could give us the information are fearful of repercussions from the Indonesians. Ballard: That is certainly a problem, but I think the presence of foreign observers of any kind, whether military or civilian, is probably in the long run of benefit in creating a climate of openness where problems that have occurred in the past, like human rights abuses, can't really be covered up - they become impossible in fact to pursue. Negus: So in fact the Australian military personnel being there could be a plus in finding out what's really going on? Ballard: It could be a plus. although there's some question about whether Australian military personnel would be at liberty to discuss what they saw, and I think again this is an important reason to have a strong civilian component in any sort of exercise like this. Negus: An obvious question - particularly from somebody who's never been there - why is Irian Jaya suffering as badly as it is, while PNG next door if you like, seems to be okay at the moment... if reports could be believed? Ballard: Papua New Guinea has a cash economy and I think we're now finding out that the Australian aid effort to Papua New Guinea constituted less than six percent of the total food that was bought and sold during that period in Papua New Guinea. So the Papua New Guineans were able to lift themselves out of the crisis by and large. In Irian Jaya there is no cash economy and if your food and your gardens fail, then you are in trouble. Negus: Chris, what's your long-term prognosis for Irian Jaya, and how in fact if you like do we protect them from drought... do we protect them from the Indonesians... do we protect them from health problems like malaria, without destroying what is a quite unique culture for that part of the world - in fact the whole world? I mean, is it an insoluble problem... do we have to destroy a culture to save it if you like? Ballard: Well I think in many ways these cultures are being destroyed anyway. I think one of the major benefits that may come from this particular exercise is an improvement in the channels of communication between Jakarta and Canberra in particular, and an increase in the openness surrounding the province, because that has been a major problem in the past... simply the lack of knowledge about what's happening there. Negus: So the paradox could be that as bad as the drought is, the level of awareness could go up and that could benefit them in the long run? Ballard: Ultimately, yes. Negus: Chris Ballard, thanks very much for giving us your time. It's been very very informative. Ballard: Thank you, George.

My husband and I stayed here in May for 6 nights. We love this very quiet spot. Situated in the southern most end of Sanur opposite mangroves and close to beach, it is very peaceful. Staff gladly called taxi that arrived within 5 minutes for $2.50 fare into main part of Sanur which is around 5-10 mins away. Beautiful huge villa style room and equally huge mosaic styled bathroom with dual walk through shower, makeup table, dual wardrobes, mini fridge, toiletries and peaceful,sheltered verandah. Gardens and pool simply beautiful. Unfortunately aircon was inefficient and took around five hours to get from 30 degrees to 25 which was the lowest it could manage. Staff instructed to turn off air con when you left resort so every time you returned you had to wait hours for air to cool. Probably more economically efficient to leave on and maintain temp with doors closed rather than it labouring hours to reduce temperature. But as soon as we told staff room too hot and ask them to leave on they were more than happy to oblige. There are new rooms being built which will apparently be even more deluxe so their aircon I'm sure will be better. The continental breakfast that was included was very simple and took some time to arrive, so we mixed it up with Indonesian style porridge; first day it was amazing but next it was obviously different chef, which is to be expected, but not edible. We ate dinner there twice and had a delicious carpaccio and bruschetta, but unfortunately pizza dough from pizza oven was almost raw which was disappointing, but toppings lovely. Husband wouldn't let me send back or say anything which I'm sure they would have appreciated. That being said, we loved our stay and the staff were very obliging and helpful. The pool was amazing, room, gardens and situation amazing and we left with very fond memories and hope very much to return one day. Thank you Safare.

No, woodtick57 is right M&M....there should not be different versions of the Bible, and there shouldn't be a few thousand different denominations either.<quoted text>
You don't know why there are different versions of the Bible? God what a moron.
IF there were a God I would expect his/her word to be the same for everyone and ALL would know the proper way to worship and do it the same.
All the differences are one of the ways we know there is no God.

Last month I attended the conference of the North American Passive House Network in New York City. They had a really nice trade show, and I got to spend some time talking to the vendors. It's always nice to see what's going at these events because I'm starting to come around to Joe Lstiburek's way of thinking. At the 2013 Building Science Summer Camp, he said, "Passive House is the only place where real innovation is happening."Read More

I've got a record of 14 blower door tests on my condo. Many of them were during home energy rater classes, as we'd bring them here for the confirmed rating they needed to complete. The early ones were horrible! But I had a good reason. Our laundry room ceiling was half gone because of a water leak. (Thanks, upstairs neighbors!) After that we had a bunch that were still bad. Now we've had another big jump in airtightness. Wanna see the numbers?Read More

Passive house has a reputation for requiring ungodly amounts of insulation. It grew out of the superinsulation movement after all. If you're familiar with any passive house projects, you may be thinking about double-stud walls that are a foot thick or regular walls with 6 to 12 inches of rigid insulation on the outside. But how much insulation can you use and still meet the requirements of the Passive House Institute US (PHIUS)?Read More
Every day, I get updates on various energy data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). Earlier this week I got one showing the graph below, indicating that energy intensity for the whole world is going down. That's a good thing, so I posted it to my social media networks. It means we're extracting more economic output from each unit of energy that we use. That's only one small part of the whole picture of energy use, however, and someone who saw my post responded with another part.Read More

Just because I haven't written about the jockeying over ventilation rates and strategies with the ASHRAE 62.2 committee doesn't mean nothing's going on. If you've been following the battle over this issue, you know that Joe Lstiburek, PhD, PE, got fed up with ASHRAE and introduced his own ventilation "standard" in 2013. Then the "Great Ventilation Debate" happened in Detroit, and he got back on the ASHRAE 62.2 committee. Stuff happened and now RESNET just put an interesting amendment out for public comment.

In Missouri for the ASHRAE conference, I took some time to visit with my Cajun baby sister the other day. As we were making our way to one of the local wineries outside of St. Louis, we saw a sign for Daniel Boone's house. Now who can resist that?
