OPINION: The Earthquake Commission and the EQC action Group on Thursday released a statement setting out their joint agreement on a series of basic principles about how to interpret the EQC Act regarding EQC's obligations around the stand of repairs.
A long-awaited announcement on how the deadlock over Christ Church Cathedral will be broken is expected soon.
Homeowners have come out firing after a landmark settlement confirmed the Earthquake Commission's legal obligation to repair damaged homes to a "when new" condition.
The EQC Action Group is a group of owners of houses that were damaged by the Canterbury earthquakes in 2010 and 2011. In November 2015 the Action Group started a proceeding in the High Court against the Earthquake Commission. The Action Group sought declarations to clarify the extent of the Commission's liability under the Earthquake Commission Act 1993 (Act) for the earthquake damage to the houses owned by members of the Action Group.
The EQC Action Group has settled its dispute with EQC. Here is a link to the website that has the settlement terms. There is a joint statement that sets out what is agreed. Insurance under the Act insures the house for replacement value, which includes the cost to reinstate a house to substantially the same condition as when new and the cost of complying with any applicable laws; EQC's liability includes the costs to fix undamaged parts where that is affected by remediation of damaged pa ...

This invention relates generally to electrical interconnection means and more particularly concerns a method and apparatus for mounting lead sockets in holes in electrical interconnection boards.
Electrical interconnection boards, often referred to as printed circuit, printed wiring or panel boards, normally have mounted thereto a plurality of electronic components such as dual-in-line electronic packages which may be integrated circuit packages, or other types of electronic components formed with any number of leads. The boards are provided with holes therethrough and with printed circuit paths or conductive voltage planes on one or both surfaces thereof. In some prior art devices, leads of electronic components are inserted into plated-through holes which are electrically connected to various printed circuit paths or areas on the board surface. An electronic device lead is inserted through one of the plated-through holes and is normally individually soldered or collectively wave soldered so that the hole is filled with solder to permanently mount and electrically connect the component to the board.
It is often desired to employ the concept of pluggability, that is, to be able to plug the leads of a component into a board for whatever purposes are desired and then to remove it and plug another component into the board. This, of course, is not possible with the previously discussed method of mounting components to the board because the component leads are soldered thereto. However, it is well known to provide two-part socket sleeve assemblies which are mounted in holes in panel boards wherein one end of the sleeve has a lead receiving socket and the other end normally provides a solder tail or a wire wrapping pin. The solder tail or wire wrapping pin projects for some appreciable distance beyond the non-component side of the board and the lead receiving socket end of the sleeve normally projects a short distance beyond the other side of the board. The sleeve socket end is necessarily somewhat larger than might otherwise be desired because of the requirement that there be a tapered opening to facilitate inserting component leads and that there be a contact insert within the socket assembly device itself to frictionally engage the lead. Thus it is necessary that the socket end of the sleeve project beyond the board surface in order to provide the desired opening which is normally slightly larger than the hole through the board. When such a socket assembly with a contact insert is used, pluggability is available but at a relatively high cost because of the necessity for using the two-element socket assembly described above which not only is expensive to manufacture but the two elements must be combined before inserting into holes in the board.
It is an object of the present invention to provide pluggability of electronic components into interconnection boards, normally referred to as panel boards hereinbelow, at a substantially reduced cost while at the same time reducing the overall assembly thickness of the board and components. The result of thickness reduction is improved stacking density because each board may thereby be placed closer to the adjacent facing board.
Lead sockets which are substantially the same as used in sleeves previously built into the socket assemblies described above, are force fitted into plated-through holes in a panel board in such a manner that they are retained therein and are adapted to receive and removably retain the leads of electronic components, including dual-in-line electronic packages (DIP's). While these lead sockets retain the leads of the electronic components, it also permits them to be readily removed when desired, and replaced by other components whose leads are then inserted into the same lead sockets mounted in the board.
Broadly speaking, the method of the present invention mounts lead sockets in the holes in panel boards through the use of a vacuum means combined with a vibrating device. The leads are thereby temporarily seated in the holes and may then be semi-permanently mounted by means of a platen or roller which forces the lead sockets partially into the board holes. A multiplicity of hard spheres or tapered seating pins may, in conjunction with a matrix board having a hole pattern corresponding to the lead socket pattern in the panel board, be used in the process of finally seating the lead sockets. The spheres or balls may be employed to seat the lead sockets and at the same time countersink the top portion of the plated-through hole in the board to provide a tapered lead-in to facilitate insertion of the component leads into the holes and thereupon into the lead sockets. The seating pins as disclosed countersink the lead socket below the board surface.
The apparatus employed for performing the method is also the subject of this invention and comprises a box or frame connected to an evacuation means. A perforated top surface adjacent the panel board permits the vacuum to create an air flow downward through the panel board holes. When coupled with a vibrating device to spread the lead sockets over the panel board surface, the vacuum created air flow through the holes in the panel board temporarily seats the lead sockets therein. The lead sockets are further seated by means of a roller or platen and can be finally seated by means of the spheres or pins residing in matrix boards having the same hole configuration as the panel board. The final seating is accomplished in a hydraulic press.
The advantages, features and objects of this invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a partially broken away perspective view of the apparatus used in performing the method of this invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view showing a lead socket temporarily seated in a hole in the panel board;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view similar to FIG. 2 showing the matrixes, platen and sphere used for finally seating the lead socket in the panel board;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view similar to FIG. 2 showing the lead socket in final position;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the outside of the structure of FIG. 1 showing apparatus for semi-permanently seating the lead sockets;
FIG. 6 is a sectional view of one apparatus for final seating of the lead sockets;
FIG. 7 is a perspective view similar to FIG. 1 showing alternative final seating apparatus; and
FIG. 8 is a sectional view similar to FIG. 6 showing still another final seating apparatus.
With reference now to the drawing and more particularly to FIG. 1 thereof, there is shown a rectangular enclosure or box 11 in which it is possible to obtain a low grade vacuum. An exhaust vent 12 is coupled to an evacuation means (not shown) and is mounted to or otherwise connected with a conventional industrial vibrator 13. While vibrator 13 is shown connected to box 11 in schematic fashion, it is likely that the box would be mounted directly to the top of such a vibrator. The top surface of the box is comprised of rigid perforated board 14 having a multiplicity of holes therethrough. The perforations are merely to provide passageways for air being evacuated from the box and need not have any particular configuration. Board 14 is recessed below shoulders 15 and 16 and has appropriate alignment means such as pins 21 and 22 mounted thereto and projecting upwardly. On top of board 14 is a fine mesh screen 23 which does not inhibit the flow of air but which prevents small parts from being drawn into the evacuation device.
Rigid frame board 26 having a central open area 27 normally rests on shoulders 15 and 16. The panel board 31 typically having printed circuit paths or voltage planes on at least one side thereof rests on top of frame board 26 with the normal margins of board 31 overlapping the edges of opening 27. All of the holes in board 31 open into central opening 27 of frame board 26. Frame board 26 may be provided with suitable alignment pins 28, similar to pins 21, 22 for mounting panel board 31 thereto.
Enclosure 11 will normally be inclined slightly with respect to the horizontal. When frame board 26 and panel board 31 are placed on shoulders 15, 16 with alignment pins 21 and 22 entering holes 32 and 33 respectively, a multiplicity of lead sockets 34, shown in greater detail in FIG. 2, are placed on top of panel board 31. The vibrator and the evacuation device are both energized and over the course of a few seconds, each of the open holes in panel board 31 is filled with a properly oriented lead socket 34. The body portion 35 of each lead socket is configured to form an interference fit with each of holes 36 in the panel board while converging flexible fingers 37 are smaller than holes 36 so that lead sockets 34 can only enter these holes in proper orientation. Vibrator 13 operates in the usual manner and causes the lead sockets to spread relatively evenly over the surface of panel board 31 and the converging finger end of the lead sockets tend naturally to enter holes 36. Because of the vacuum applied to box 11, there is a slight suction or movement of air passing downwardly through each of holes 36 thereby assisting in aligning and partially seating lead sockets 34 in the holes. It has been found that because lead sockets 34 are so short, approximately 0.1 inch (2.54 mm) they could vibrate out of holes 36 after they have initially entered such holes absent the added inpetus of the vacuum which temporarily seats them. Box 11 would typically have sides extending above board 31 to confine the lead sockets therein. Excess lead sockets are collected in an appropriate container at the low end of the board but some such elements may remain on the surface of the board when the operation is complete, thus the reason for screen 23. The sides and collection device of the apparatus are known and are not shown here to keep the drawing relatively simple.
In addition to the vacuum seating, an additional step may be employed to semi-permanently seat the lead sockets in the holes in the panel board as shown in FIG. 5. In this step, a roller 41 having a handle 42 is used to force the lead sockets slightly into each of the holes in the panel board so that there is a positive force fit and no danger that any of the lead sockets could become dislodged when the panel board is handled for further processing. While this step is not necessary, it has been found to be advantageous in some circumstances. Alternatively, a flat platen could be used to simultaneously press all of the lead sockets a short distance into the holes. The purpose is merely to partially seat the lead sockets into the holes in the panel board and any suitable means may be used to accomplish this.
When the lead sockets are partially seated in the holes, the panel board 31 is removed from enclosure 11, coupled with a support matrix board 58 as shown in FIG. 3, and transferred to a hydraulic press (not shown) where a platen 43 supported by stem 44 (FIG. 6), the platen covering the entire top surface of panel board 31, presses all of the lead sockets 34 simultaneously into the holes until the tops of lead sockets are flush with the top of the panel board. For this purpose, matrix board 58 having a hole pattern either the same as that of the lead socket pattern of the panel board or having holes therethrough on 0.1 inch centers, the modular spacing for panel boards used for mounting DIP's, is used to support the panel board and allow lead sockets 34 to extend somewhat beyond the bottom surface thereof. Matrix board 58 may be used in any of the seating steps involving a force applied to the top of board 31 but is shown only in FIG. 3. Note that the platen 43 of the hydraulic press actually rests on top of conductive plating 45 surrounding each of the holes 36. For all practical purposes, this may be considered to be the top surface of board 31 as described herein. Normally each of the holes in which a lead socket is seated will be a plated-through hole as shown in the drawing.
In FIG. 1, panel board 31 is shown with a plurality of dual-in-line arrays of holes 46. It is, however, possible that board 31 would not be comprised of dual-in-line arrays of holes or might include many other holes 52 additional to the dual-in-line arrays. It is also possible that it would be desired to insert a lead socket in less than all of the holes in the board and for that purpose, a masking matrix sheet 51 is shown in FIG. 1 in a position above board 31 having configurations of holes corresponding to those holes 36 in which it is desired to have lead sockets 34 seated in board 31. Mask sheet 51 may be very thin so that it merely masks holes 52 and does not provide any appreciable thickness to affect the insertion of lead sockets 34 in holes 36 in the panel board. Thus, it will be observed that holes 52 which are not part of dual-in-line arrays 46 in board 31 do not have corresponding holes in matrix sheet 51. In this way, when a supply of lead sockets are placed on top of matrix sheet 51 which has been placed directly over the top of panel board 31 and aligned therewith with suitable alignment means, lead sockets 34 will only enter those holes 36 which have corresponding holes in the matrix sheet. Otherwise, the procedures subsequent to seating the holes through the use of the matrix sheet are identical with those described above. Holes 52 are often formed in panel boards and are available to mount additional components such as decoupling capacitors to the board.
It is often desirable to seat lead sockets 34 still further into holes 16 beyond the position shown in FIG. 6. This is for purposes of providing a somewhat deeper lead-in for the tapered entry in each of the lead sockets and so that fingers 37 will project approximately 0.0625 inch (1.588 mm) beyond the non-component side of the board. There are two methods disclosed herein for countersinking the lead sockets as shown in FIGS. 3, 7 and 8.
According to the method shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, a large number of balls or spheres 56 are placed on top of a matrix board 55 having a thickness somewhat less than the diameter of each of the balls. As shown in the drawing, matrix board 55 is placed directly over the top of panel board 31 and is aligned by suitable means such as the alignment pins previously mentioned so that each of the holes in which there is a lead socket in panel board 31 has a corresponding hole in matrix board 55. Balls 56 are distributed over the surface of matrix board 55 due to operation of vibrator 13 and drop into each of the holes in the matrix board. The vacuum means may, if desired, also be applied in this step simultaneously with the operation of the vibrator to speed up the location of balls in the matrix board holes. With reference now to FIGS. 2-4 and 7, it may be appreciated that the step represented in FIG. 7 may take place immediately after the temporary positioning of the lead sockets in holes 36 resulting from the steps associated with FIG. 1 in the position shown in FIG. 2, it may take place after the semi-permanent seating step of FIG. 5 as shown in FIG. 3 or even after the step shown in FIG. 6. If the balls are applied through matrix board 55 immediately after the initial seating step resulting in the configuration of FIG. 2, the frame board 26, panel board 31 and matrix board 55 with the balls 56 in the holes thereof are removed to the hydraulic press where a platen 43 similar to that shown in FIG. 6 is applied to the exposed surfaces of balls 56 (see FIG. 3) thereby forcing lead sockets 34 into holes 36 through the intermediary of balls 56. This step may be continued so that the balls are forced even further downward thereby countersinking the lead sockets somewhat as shown in FIG. 4 so that the top corners of the conductive plating 45 around holes 36 is somewhat rounded to provide a greater lead-in diameter to assist component leads in entering the lead sockets mounted in the holes in the panel board. The thickness of matrix board 55 with respect to the size of balls 56 determines the depth to which the lead sockets are countersunk into panel board 31 and provides a positive stop for the action of the hydraulic press. If desired, the thickness of matrix board 55 may be such that the lead sockets are only pressed into the board so that the top surface thereof is flush with the top surface of the conductive plating on top of the board, the position shown in FIG. 6.
Alternatively, lead sockets 34 may be seated in board 31 in accordance with the steps shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 prior to the application of matrix 55 and balls 56 thereto. For this purpose panel board 31 would be returned from the hydraulic press of FIG. 6 to vacuum/vibration box 11 and matrix board 55 would be applied to the top of the panel board as discussed above. When balls 56 are properly in the holes in the matrix board, the combination is then transferred to the hydraulic press for seating the lead sockets as previously described.
As previously mentioned, in cases where the panel board must be supported in that portion covering frame board opening 27, that is, where the panel board is particularly large or where it would otherwise tend to bow downward when the FIG. 3 step is performed, a matrix board 58 may be placed beneath the panel board. Such a matrix may take the place of the frame board before the assembly is transferred to the press.
In FIG. 8, there is shown an alternative means for final seating of the lead sockets in the holes in the panel board. Instead of balls 56, seating pins 61 are employed. A composite matrix board 62 is formed of a lower layer 63 which is nominally 0.0625 inch (1.588 mm) thick having a hole 64 approximately 0.042 inch (1.0668 mm) in diameter, and a layer 65 having a hole 66 approximately 0.08 inch (2.032 mm) in diameter in alignment with hole 64. In a manner similar to that shown in FIG. 7, composite matrix board 62 is placed in box 11 and pins 61 are vibrated and vacuumed into place as shown in FIG. 8 whereby shoulder 71 of pin 61 rests on ledge 72 on the top surface of layer 63 of board 62. Top portion 73 of pin 61 is substantially the same thickness as layer 65 of the composite matrix board 62 while the shank or bottom portion 74 is slightly longer than the thickness of layer 63, projecting between 0.005 and 0.01 inch (0.127 and 0.254 mm) below the bottom surface of layer 63. From that point, pin 61 tapers to a relatively blunt end 75, the angle of taper being substantially identical to the internal lead-in taper angle of lead socket 34. In order to insure that pins 61 fit easily in the holes in the matrix board, the top portion 73 has a diameter of approximately 0.078 inch (1.98 mm) and bottom portion 74 has a diameter of 0.04 inch (1.016 mm).
Matrix board 62 is configured with the two-step holes 64 and 66 in the same pattern as matrix board 55 of FIG. 7 so that a pin 61 rests in each hole where it is desired to firmly seat a lead socket in board 31. Board 31 is assembled with the lead sockets in the manner previously described, through the temporary seating of FIG. 2, the semi-permanent seating of FIG. 5 or the flush seating position shown in FIG. 6, and matrix board 62 is assembled with pins 61 in box 11 in the manner previously described with respect to FIG. 7. However, it is not necessary to apply matrix board 62 on top of panel board 31 to insert pins 61 since each pin is independently held in the holes in the matrix board. A third substantially rigid layer or plate 67 is normally secured by suitable means on top of layer 65 to retain pins 61 in their proper holes so that the composite board 62 can be handled and stored when not in use. In some cases plate 67 may not be used with matrix board 62 and seating pins 61 would be allowed to float in their holes. When applied on top of a panel board, because pins 61 are longer than the thickness of board 62, the seating pins will rise slightly in their matrix board holes and will be moved downward to seat lead sockets 34 pursuant to the force applied by the hydraulic press platen.
Allowing pins 61 to float in the matrix board facilitates their individual alignment with the socket ends of the lead sockets. This may be accomplished, if desired, with the use of plate 67 by providing a thin peripheral spacer between that plate and the top surface of board 65. Such structure retains pins 61 in place but permits them some element of motion in their individual holes in matrix board 62.
Since pins 61 can remain in the holes in matrix board 62 independently of panel board 31, only one such matrix board need be assembled for each run of a multiplicity of the same configuration panel boards.
Matrix board 62 is applied to the top surface of board 31 with appropriate alignment means similar to the pins shown in FIG. 1 and the combination of matrix board 62, panel board 31 and matrix board 58 (shown only in FIG. 3) is mounted in a hydraulic press. Platen 43 is applied to countersink lead sockets 34 in holes 36 in the board. The plated-through holes shown in FIG. 8 may be made somewhat larger than those shown in FIG. 3, having a diameter appropriate to provide a somewhat larger lead-in to the tapered socket opening. This is because the top of the plated-through hole is not countersunk as shown in FIG. 4.
In view of the above description and drawing, modifications and improvements will likely occur to those skilled in the art which are within the scope of this invention.

Depending on what your taking Cymbalta for, if it's for anxiety and or depression, I'd say give Pristiq a go. If it's for pain, then I wouldn't suggest that one. I've had allot of luck with Pristiq for a number of years, however, needed a higher dosage than what Pristiq is good for, in addition to a need for a pain killer - so I made a switch to Cymbalta, and the two feel almost identical, except Pristiq is a little less sedating than Cymbalta (although many find Cymbalta to be energizing). If you're on a dosage of over 60mg, then I'm not sure if you could make the switch. In that case my be would be Effexor XR. But... I'm not a doctor, and really couldn't tell you for sure, especially without the mg and reason for the meds. Regardless, good luck and I hope that I've been of some help!

Mitt Romney, in his first trip abroad as the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, is trying to walk back comments he made questioning London's Olympics preparation -- comments that have drawn a sharp response from Prime Minister David Cameron.
The dustup began Wednesday, as Romney, who ran the 2002 Salt Lake City games, said there were "disconcerting" signs in the days before this year's games.
"The stories about the private security firm not having enough people, the supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials -- that obviously is not something which is encouraging," he told NBC News.
"Do they come together and celebrate the Olympic moment? And that's something which we only find out once the games actually begin," he said.
Cameron soon rebuked Romney. "We are holding an Olympic Games in one of the busiest, most active, bustling cities anywhere in the world. Of course, it's easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere," he said.
"I think we will show the whole world not just that we come together as a United Kingdom, but also we're extremely good at welcoming people from across the world," Cameron added. "I will obviously make those points to Mitt Romney. I look forward to meeting him."

Condition: Student Owned
All Product Details
Learning and Memory includes the most recent findings in the fields: the study of choice, operant behavior and economics, behavior theory and memory, implicit memory and unconscious memory, connectionism, concepts and generic memory, and networks of memories. In presenting these latest findings, the authors develop selective lines of research rather than merely listing research finding after research finding. This approach not only clearly shows students which findings support (or do nor support) hypotheses, but it also gives students a firm sense of how experiments are conducted, and science developed.
In addition, a unique chapter, Chapter 14, "Memory and the Decision-Making of Everyday Life," concludes the book. Drawing from the previous chapters, it explains how normal memory processes lead to the heuristics and strategies that guide our everyday thinking. Taking up heuristics, representativeness, covariation detection, and schema-based reasoning, including animal and human research, this chapter provides even more integration of the fields.

Review written by
Captain Jamesman
Yo, I'm Jamesman, here to talk about the recently released, BUST-A-MOVE BASH!! In my opinion, it is by far, THE BEST PUZZLE GAME OF ALL TIME. It has better graphics, better music, and better characters. The game also sees the return of Bub & Bob as playable characters (due to their absence from the Super Bust-A-Move Series' Playable Chracter List which almost made me quit playing B-A-B games).
There are 500 Puzzles in the game, with each world having 50 in each, you do the math. The game also contains an awesome shooting mode (which is hard at first). You are to shoot the bubbles that match the pointer's color, as different colored bubbles come in, you need to change the pointer's color with the control pad.
Here's one of the other cool things about the game. The game has 10 Playable Characters. 8 which you begin with, while 2 others need to be unlocked (The 1st character was easy to get, if you want to know how to get him, feel free to post a post on the Bust-A-Move Bash Page here at Wii's World that says so).
The game's controls are a little more complicated then past B-A-B games, but you get used to it after a while. You can either hold the Wii Remote like a Gun, or up like a Baton. There are new "Special" Bubbles in the game. Some are ones from other games like the Fire Bubble or Shining Bubble. There are also new ones like Slip Bubbles.
The game also features a brand-new type of Multiplayer mode. Instead of fighting in separate playing areas, you'll go against your opponent in one huge area. The characters are displayed on your bubble launcher instead of on the playing area. And there will be ten times more bubbles and mayhem then before B-A-B Bash. Trust me, this game is a must get for all Puzzle Game Fans like me. If you buy this, you made the right choice! Well, that's all for now. Sayonara!

text: Could this be the start of the quarterly divy run? The next ex-div date is not until mid Aug, but this seems to have perked up even though nat gas prices are down. In the first quarter, the stock ran from $16.50 to $19 before collapsing once the divy was announced. In the second quarter, it ran from below $13.50 to $17. It looks to be nudging over the 50 dma. Maybe have to take a look at some cheap calls. Last quarter I played the puts for a nice gain, although it took a long time to dispose of the puts since the spread can be wide. If we get a nice divy run and it hits resistance, this time I will try buying in the money puts instead of out of the money ones.

The CD is programmed like a 70-minute recital, starting with some attention-grabbing items, such as "Sunburst" by Atlanta-born Andrew York (of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet) and audience favorites "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" (Bach) and "All Creatures of Our God and King," whose origins go back to 1623. "Leyenda" by Albeniz is one standout.
Spaniards, of course, are here in abundance. Mudarra originally wrote for the vihuela in the 16th century, but Federico Mompou, a composer of whom Fletcher has made a special study, is much more recent. A prelude of his, written as part of a larger work in 1962 for Andre Segovia, is included. The second half of the CD explores a wide selection of pieces by 20th-century guitar writer Moreno Torroba. He ends with the ever-popular "Cavatina," from The Deer Hunter, written by Stanley Myers in conjunction with John Williams.
Fletcher's playing exhibits an impressive command of the considerable dynamic range which is possible with just one guitar, and the flow is uniformly effortless and occasionally breathtaking.
Peter Fletcher performs at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Decatur Sun., April 1.

Nuclear Nonproliferation:
Preliminary Observations on IAEA's Role in Verifying the Iran Agreement
GAO-16-417: Published: Feb 12, 2016. Publicly Released: Feb 23, 2016.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Version:
(202) 512-3841
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
As outlined in the JCPOA, IAEA was asked to verify Iran's implementation of a range of nuclear-related commitments, and IAEA uses its authorities and conducts additional verification activities to do so, according to IAEA. Iran's commitments include limits on uranium enrichment levels and enriched uranium inventories. GAO's preliminary observations indicate that IAEA plans to verify Iran's implementation of these commitments through a range of activities conducted by its Safeguards Department, such as inspecting Iran's nuclear facilities and analyzing environmental samples. To verify Iran's implementation of its commitments under the JCPOA, IAEA officials told GAO that the agency uses its authorities and conducts additional verification activities agreed to by Iran under the JCPOA, such as monitoring Iran's uranium mines and mills. In addition, under the JCPOA, Iran agreed to provisionally apply the Additional Protocol, an agreement that will expand IAEA's access, including to locations where undeclared materials and activities—those that an IAEA member state is required to, but has not declared under its agreements with IAEA—may be suspected. The JCPOA also includes a mechanism in which participants to the agreement commit to resolve an access request from the agency within 24 days after the request is made.
GAO's preliminary observations indicate that IAEA has identified the resources necessary to verify the nuclear-related commitments in the JCPOA. IAEA has estimated that it needs approximately $10 million per year for 15 years in additional funding above its current safeguards budget for JCPOA verification. In addition, IAEA plans to transfer 18 experienced inspectors to its Iran Task Force from other safeguards divisions and to hire and train additional inspectors. According to IAEA officials, existing safeguards technical resources are sufficient to implement the JCPOA. According to IAEA documents, all of IAEA's JCPOA work through 2016 will be funded through extra-budgetary contributions. IAEA officials said that the agency intends to propose that of the $10 million, approximately $5.7 million for all Additional Protocol activities and inspector costs attributable to the JCPOA be funded through IAEA's regular budget after 2016.
GAO's preliminary observations indicate that IAEA may face potential challenges in monitoring and verifying Iran's implementation of certain nuclear-related commitments in the JCPOA. According to current and former IAEA and U.S. officials and experts, these potential challenges include (1) integrating JCPOA-related funding into its regular budget and managing human resources in the safeguards program, (2) access challenges depending on Iran's cooperation and the untested JCPOA mechanism to resolve access requests, and (3) the inherent challenge of detecting undeclared nuclear materials and activities—such as potential weapons development activities that may not involve nuclear material. According to knowledgeable current and former U.S. government officials, detection of undeclared material and activities in Iran and worldwide is IAEA's greatest challenge. According to IAEA documents, Iran has previously failed to declare activity to IAEA. However, according to a former IAEA official as well as current IAEA and U.S. government officials GAO interviewed, IAEA has improved its capabilities in detecting undeclared activity, such as by adapting its inspector training program.
Why GAO Did This Study
In July 2015, multilateral talks with Iran culminated in an agreement called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), through which Iran committed to limits on its nuclear program in exchange for relief from sanctions put in place by the United States and other nations. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), an independent international organization that administers safeguards designed to detect and deter the diversion of nuclear material for non-peaceful purposes, was requested to monitor and verify Iran's adherence to these limits. The U.S. Department of State coordinates the United States' financial and policy relationship with IAEA.
GAO was asked to review the authorities and resources IAEA has to carry out its activities regarding the JCPOA. On the basis of preliminary results of ongoing work that GAO is conducting, this report provides observations on (1) the JCPOA commitments that IAEA has been asked to verify and its authorities to do so, (2) the resources IAEA has identified as necessary to verify the JCPOA, and (3) potential challenges and mitigating actions IAEA and others have identified with regard to verifying the JCPOA. GAO analyzed the JCPOA and key IAEA documents and interviewed current and former IAEA officials, U.S. government officials, national laboratory representatives, and experts from research institutions.
GAO is not making recommendations at this time and expects to issue a final report on this work later this year.

Tough foe awaits HLB
Published: Thursday, August 30, 2007 at 10:28 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 30, 2007 at 12:32 p.m.
GRAY -- Expectations. Thats one word that might describe H.L. Bourgeois entering this season.
Another word is speed.
And speed translates into a high-powered offense.
So far, at least, the Braves first opponent has taken notice of H.L. Bourgeois big-play ability
"Theyre going to score," said St. John-Plaquemine coach Bruce Hoffman. "I just hope we can score and keep up with them."
H.L. Bourgeois and St. John square off Friday night in Tom B. Smith Stadium for their regular season opener, and both have reason to be excited about themselves.
But both teams also have reason to be concerned about each other.
H.L. Bourgeois is a Class 5A team that appears poised to have one of its most successful seasons ever. St. John is a team coming off a state runner-up finish in Class 1A and is moving up to Class 2A this season.
"When we made the schedule, we wanted to challenge ourselves," H.L. Bourgeois coach Randy Boquet said. "(To) play some teams that would challenge and hopefully prepare us for some good things down the road.
"St. John fits that bill. They are a proven winner with a consistent program."
For St. John, the concern is simply in the numbers. While H.L. Bourgeois is able to limit the number of players participating on both offense and defense, St. John doesnt have that luxury.
"Were a small school," Hoffman said. "We have a lot of guys that play both ways."
But the Eagles also have a lot of guys that have caught the eyes of H.L. Bourgeois coaching staff.
Boquets initial praise went to Eagles quarterback Galen Johnson, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound senior.
"Their quarterback is amazing, to put it bluntly," Boquet said. "He has some of the best poise that Ive seen in a quarterback. Hes very cool, very poised and he can hurt you running. Hes an exceptional player."
The rest of St. Johns backfield also impressed Boquet, namely running backs Roddarick Jones and Guy Morgan and fullback T.J. Williams.
Those players are the heart of St. Johns double-wing offense, but the Eagles have started diversifying their attack because of Johnsons talents.
"Were running a double-wing," Hoffman said, "but were starting to do some other things because we seem to have a young man who can throw."
According to Hoffman, H.L. Bourgeois also has a talented quarterback in second-year starter Evan Ingram.
"He can throw the ball real well," Hoffman said. "Up front theyre good. Theyve obviously been running the Wing-T for a couple of years, and because of that, theyre explosive.
"Theyre big. Theyre fast. And offense is their strength."
Defensively, Hoffman pointed to Braves senior tackles Sidney Mitchell and Kyle Shackleford as players that stood out on film.
Most of that film came from last weeks 53-0 jamboree win over Terrebonne.
While it was an impressive victory, Boquet stresses that it doesnt count in the standings.
"Congratulations on a big victory," Boquet said of his teams jamboree win. "But it didnt mean anything. It counts for nothing. You had a good jamboree. Now lets step our game up even more.
"People around here are excited," Boquet added about the expectations for the team. "Theres a buzz around the school."
This weeks game is step one in living up to the expectations, and maintaining the buzz thats been created at No. 1 Reservation Court.

Something for the Weekend
My grandparents were big James Last fans, no idea what they would have made of this though.
My grandparents were big James Last fans, no idea what they would have made of this though.
You don't need to see the Eiffel Tower in the background to know that this is French.
I have an emotional attachment to this record going back to my childhood that I wrote about in the early days of this blog and I still get a bit choked up when those kids start singing "Grocer Jack, Grocer Jack, is it true what mummy says, you won't come back? Actually seeing them do it in this video is even worse — that little boy in the blazer!
I was playing it in the car the other day when from behind me my daughter started singing along "Grocer Jack, Grocer Jack…". I swear I was overcome with such a wave of sentiment and happiness I thought I was going to cry for a minute.
I've long thought this was one of those pop songs that were secretly about drugs but apparently it isn't. Shame.
I loved this song when I was kid because I thought it was literally about the fire brigade. I'm sure it's actually about girls or sex but I'd rather stick to my my youthful illusions.
It may be cold outside but inside our Brazil nuts are nice and warm.
I've never seen Privilege so I'm not sure what the significance of hot chocolate is, but out of context it does sound a bit silly and Python-esque and I keep imagining that Jean Shrimpton is thinking "Ooh, I love a man who drinks hot chocolate."
Personally I'd rather have a cup of tea.
All the recent hoo-hah over the 50th anniversary of the release of "Love Me Do" made me wonder with dread how many similar celebrations we're in for over the next few years and how utterly sick we'll be of it by the time they get to the 50th anniversary of "Let It Be."
While it didn't cause quite so much commentary, this week (Tuesday in fact) marked the 50th anniversary of the first broadcast of this song on French television (during election coverage apparently) which made it a huge hit and Francoise a big star. I think that's worth celebrating, don't you?
Any excuse to post this magnifique video.

Having stayed here on business before I booked this hotel for two nights as a treat for my husbands birthday.
Very disappointed. Having booked dinner in the hotel on the first night and checked we had the reservation when checking in we overhead a conversation between the restaurant manager and a drop guest where she told them they hotel had no gas and were only offering a limited menu. We then had to go to reception to ask what this meant. Then overhead again that the restaurant was short staffed. A restricted menu and lack of staff made for an I enjoyable meal. Never mind they ran out off food for breakfast the following morning while still wanting to charge £17.95 each for the privilege of one rasher of bacon, one sausage, one slice of black pudding and a very over cooked fried egg. Again the lack of food was an overheard conversation rather than our waitress telling us. This hotel has really let me down as it was meant to be a treat for my husbands birthday. Not worth the money.

Blizzcon: Diablo III demon hunter, PvP impressions round-up
So. Diablo III looked hot before Friday's opening ceremony at Blizzcon. By the end of the weekend, it would be looking "hawt".
A bunch of sites have written up impressions of the game which has many people still screaming for a date; a date which has not materalised at all, despite the fact it's half done.
Still, it's looking good. Watch the 20 minute Blizzcon demo for it here.

Current employer and job: Alabama School of Fine Arts, Creative Writing Faculty Member
What is your favorite UAB memory? I had a lot of great moments at UAB, and it's hard to pinpoint one as my absolute favorite. So I'll give you two. First one: Every year, the University Honors Program, of which I was a part, put together a float and building decorations as a part of UAB's Homecoming celebration. I was on the committee, and I remember spending countless hours after school creating a huge Blaze poster, using chicken wire to create some sort of green and gold apparatus, and even waking up early to tie green and gold streamers all over the Spencer Honors House. We also got to ride in the Homecoming Parade, which was absolutely fantastic! Throwing candy to cheering Blazer fans, laughing with my classmates, and trying not to fall off the back of the truck was so much fun, and it was a great way to show our Blazer pride! Another one that definitely stands out is when I spoke at my commencement ceremony. I was honored to have been chosen, and I was proud to represent my family, my department, and my graduating class. I felt like my four years at UAB had truly culminated in something magical as I looked out over the crowd at Bartow Arena.
How has UAB impacted your life? UAB has impacted me significantly in my personal and professional life. Personally, I learned how to be a functioning adult while I was at UAB, whether it was braving the dorms and the prospect of cooking my own meals, managing my own money, or powerwalking across the Green in any weather to get to class on time. I met friends and colleagues who supported me as I grew and developed, and I learned what kind of citizen I wanted to be. I learned that I wanted to be hard-working and useful to my community, and I've continued living by that philosophy since graduating UAB. Professionally, I was able to develop career skills that I still use today—my English/Creative Writing degree is put to work every single day. The education I received at UAB built upon the exemplary education I received in high school, and it propelled me onward to graduate school and now to my career.
What made you choose your current profession? I've always been a writer—I have been writing stories and poems since I was seven years old. I always knew that would be a part of my career. Teaching came to me in high school, when I did creative writing outreach and team-taught summer camps. My time at UAB again found me in classrooms as an America Reads Tutor at Glen Iris Elementary and as a volunteer at Arrington Middle School in conjunction with the University Honors Program. Working with students made me feel fulfilled as a person, and it enriched me as a writer. I also taught in graduate school at my university and in the community, and that really solidified my desire to be a teacher of writing. Now, I'm teaching at my alma mater, the Alabama School of Fine Arts, and working with these talented students honestly makes me feel like I'm walking in my purpose, and that I'm making a difference in the lives of some very special young writers.
What would you do if you were given more time in each day? I would probably make more time to read the ever-growing stack of unread books on my bookshelf. People think that when you're a writer, all you do is write and read, and that's just not true for me.
If you could have three wishes, what would they be? I'd wish for good poetry, love, and peace.
If you had the power to solve one, and only one, problem in the world…what would it be and why? I think the problem in the world is that people don't know how to chill out and let others live their fullest lives. If I could solve that, and create a world full of people who respect and value the lives of others—meaning no colonization, no racism, no sexism, no classism, no ageism, no patriarchy, etc—I would be so happy, and I'm sure the rest of the world would be, too.
What natural gift would you most like to possess? I would absolutely love the ability to really sing, like Patti Labelle or Fantasia or Luther Vandross or Whitney Houston. Something about a song sung well can lift spirits and touch hearts, and although poetry can do the same things, I want to be able to do that with my voice.
What trait(s) do you most value in your friends? I value honesty and a great sense of humor—if we can't laugh and tell each other the truth, we can't be friends!
What is the best piece of advice you ever received? Literally anything my parents have ever told me. Sounds ridiculous, I know, but my parents are truly the greatest guiding forces in my life. One thing they always impressed upon me and my siblings is to work hard and be good to others—that advice has followed me throughout my life, and it really pays off. Working hard for what you want and being a kind, humble force in the world makes life sweeter.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? I have a lot of places I'd like to go in the future, but the one place I really can't wait to go to is India. I've always wanted to see India, and not just because I love Bollywood. I want to see a place that's completely on the other side of the world, and whose culture is so full. But, by that same token, I'd love to visit Africa, too, and get a better sense of the place my distant ancestors called home.
What is something you are proud of and why? I'm proud of my family because they are truly the greatest gift I've ever been given, and they're a constant source of support and friendship. My siblings and my parents are some of the smartest, most unique, funniest, and most artistically talented people I know, and I'm just so proud to be one of them!
What is the last book you read? I've been reading a lot of books this summer as I prepare for classes in the fall, so I'll give you the last few: Fences by August Wilson, Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi, MAUS by Art Spiegelman, American Born Chinese by Gene Yang, and MARCH Book 2 by John Lewis.
What things do you not like to do? Grading, washing dishes, and resetting my car seat after someone else has driven.
What 3 items would you take to a deserted island other than food and water? I would definitely take a radio (like, one that can communicate with other radios), a flotation device (because I can't swim), and a machete.

Why did you choose to attend UAB? I loved the atmosphere the first time I visited. It felt like home. UAB is the perfect balance of academics and fun in the best city.
Who is the best professor that you have had at UAB so far and why? Dr. Roger Gilchrist. He's hilarious. The way he presents the material makes it interesting, which makes it easier to learn.
What is your favorite UAB memory? The Gurney Derby. It was exhilarating. I used to run races when I was in high school but the adrenaline rush at the start of the Gurney Derby is unparalleled to any other experience I've ever had.
How has UAB impacted your life? UAB has given me opportunities I never thought were possible. I've met friends that have become like family in a short period of time. As a TrailBlazer, I have a chance to change a prospective student's life while showing off the university I have so much love for.
What is your current state of mind? Sleepy
What do you do for fun? Using hashtags while speaking and binge watching Netflix while eating chips!
Who are your heroes in real life? My Honors College advisor is a real life superhero. She takes every opportunity to get to know each student in the Honors College despite having over a thousand of us. She does whatever it takes to make sure that her students are successful. When I wanted to go to nursing school but found out I couldn't because I had too many credit hours, she fought for me and made sure that I could apply.
If you were given more time in each day, what would you do? I would find time to paint and do some crafty things.
If you could have any superpower, what would it be? To have a strong willpower
What is the best invention of your lifetime and why? Netflix, because what else would I do in between classes?
What are your future goals? I hope to attend grad school at UAB for my MSHA or MPH. After that, I want to eventually run a hospital.
What would be your ultimate dream job? Hosting the Today Show, with Hoda Kotb
If you could trade places with any other person for a week, famous or not famous, living or dead, real or fiction, with whom would it be? At the moment, I would switch places with any student participating in the Disney College Program. It seems like such a great opportunity!
What three items would you take to a deserted island other than food and water? A floppy hat, my swimsuit and a book
If you had a theme song, what would it be? "Locked Out of Heaven" – Bruno Mars
If you had the power to solve one, and only one, problem in the world…what would it be and why? Finding funding for furthering education
What's the best advice you ever received? "Wake. Pray. Slay"

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Suspended Ohio State running back
Maurice Clarett has asked the NFL to change its rules and make him
eligible for the 2004 NFL draft.
Commissioner Paul Tagliabue said Sunday that the league received
a request last week from Clarett's lawyer, Alan C. Milstein.
Talgliabue told The Associated Press that a lawyer from his
office would meet with a lawyer for Clarett to discuss the case,
probably the week after next.
Last week, Clarett was suspended by Ohio State for at least one
season for violating NCAA bylaws concerning benefits for athletes
and for lying to investigators. Also, Ohio State is investigating
charges that athletes received improper help in classes.
Clarett, who rushed for 1,237 yards and 18 touchdowns last
season as Ohio State won the national championship, is in his
second year at the school. Under NFL rules, he would not be
eligible for the draft until his third year out of high school,
which would be 2005.
Tagliabue said the NFL remains opposed to changing that rule,
which was put into effect in 1990 with the agreement of the NFL
Players' Association.
"I think it would be better if he stayed in school," the
commissioner said.
Asked if he thought, as a lawyer, that the NFL could win a
lawsuit if Clarett were to file one, Tagliabue replied: "My
feeling as commissioner is that we have a very strong case and that
we'll win it."
CBS Sports reported Sunday that Gene Upshaw, the executive
director of the Players' Union, said that Milstein had threatened a
suit. Calls to Milstein and Upshaw by The Associated Press were not
immediately returned.
