The EPA Isn't Protecting You From the Worst Polluters
The Center for Public Integrity has an eye-opening report on the Environmental Protection Agency's poorer-than-thought track record enforcing the Clean Air Act. The report comes out of an investigative team at the Center for Public Integrity's iWatch News, and NPR, which delved into reams of EPA documents, federal and state data, interviewed with former officials, and dispatched reporters to 10 different states. The investigation reveals a grim picture of how declining EPA funding, staff cutbacks, and flawed enforcement structures have contributed to the agency's ability to regulate the most egregious toxic air polluters.
It's a must-read no matter where you live in the US because, for one, you can locate 17,000 toxic air polluters near you on an interactive map:
Noteworthy among the iWatch and NPR's findings:
- The EPA has specific limits on seven air toxins—including the familiar asbestos, benzene, and mercury. The Clean Air Act, however, covers 180 other chemicals, and those are loosely regulated under sector-wide laws, despite the chemicals' proven links to cancer, birth defects, brain impairment, respiratory disease, among other maladies.
- Today, states receive about $200 million a year in federal grants, or about 25 percent of what it costs states to enforce private compliance with the Clean Air Act. When the act first went into effect in 1990, federal funds supported 60 percent of the cost.
- The funding cutbacks have resulted in local environmental protection agencies relying on voluntary pollutant emissions reporting by industry players, which, as you might imagine, has made for some weak data. Mike Fisher, deputy director of the EPA's office of criminal enforcement, tells iWatch that of some 120 ongoing Clean Air Act cases his department manages, 90 percent involve polluters trying to mislead regulators.
- In all, the EPA knows of more than 1,600 "high priority violators" of the Clean Air Act, a quarter of which appear on the internal EPA watchlist. Previously undisclosed, the list includes more than 383 chronic US polluters, ranging from chemical companies to corn processors, paint stripping operations, and tire makers spanning across the country. Among some of the more recognizable names are ArcelorMittal, Boeing, and Huntsman Corp., owned by the family of former Utah governor and ambassador to China Jon Huntsman. Now that the list is public, you can sift through them yourself:
More than anything, the report serves as a reminder that wherever the ongoing Congressional debate over the EPA and Clean Air Act lands, the health of entire communities hang in the balance.

RCMP community policing officer Travise Dow (left) and Amherst Police Department crime prevention officer Tom Wood, go over the floor plan at Amherst Centre Mall in preparation for May 13 activities.
AMHERST – Anybody planning a heist at the Amherst Centre Mall on May 13 should re-think and re-schedule.
"This day brings all policing elements together so people can see it in one place and see for themselves first hand the services that are available and can be used," said Travise Dow, community-policing officer for the Cumberland District RCMP.
The day he is talking about is May 13 and the place is the Amherst Centre Mall.
That's when the RCMP, along with the Amherst and Springhill Police Departments will join forces with close to 60 other agencies they work with to take part in Police Week activities.
"There's going to be visits from the helicopter, from RCMP Air Services," said Dow. "There's will also be a canine unit from the Springhill prison and a canine unit from the RCMP."
The Emergency Response Tactical Team will also make an appearance as they pass through town on their way to Newfoundland.
"They're involved in high profile or high risk situations in support of front line policing," said Dow.
Other units will include the explosives unit and coastal watch.
"It's not just front line officers policing the streets. This event shows other things they do, whether it's working with explosives or a canine unit," said Const. Tom Wood, crime prevention officer for the Amherst Police Department. "There's more to policing than patrolling."
Other groups the police work closely with, such as the Department of Natural Resources, MADD, SADD, senior safety groups and the Lions Club and Lionesses will also be present.
"We're going to have our policing agencies there but we'll also have many of out partners that we deal with day in and day out," said Wood.
The Police Day is part of police week, which has been held across Canada since 1970.
The week has four main objectives: Strengthen ties with the community, promote the services and technology that police provide to the community, inform the community about the role police play in public safety and securit and give the public the opportunity to honour police officers for the safety and security they provide to their communities.
"All those objectives enhance relationships between police and the community," said Dow. "That's the main purpose of police week."

Vikram S. Buddhi (born May 10, 1971) is an Indian Ph.D student and teaching assistant at Purdue University who was imprisoned by United States authorities in 2006 for writing anti-Bush content, which involved direct death threats via his yahoo account, and publishing them online.[1][2][3] He was released from prison but was re-arrested immediately by the Department of Immigration for not possessing a valid visa, and had so far not been deported to India.[4]
Buddhi was born to Syamala Buddhi and Captain Buddhi K Subbarao.[5] His father was a senior defense scientist with the Indian navy who had been tried for leaking naval secrets in 1988. However he was acquitted in 1993.[6] The charges were that he was leaking naval secrets which turned out to be his own PhD thesis which was a document available freely in libraries of reputed institutions of Nuclear Research. The police were reprimanded for their complete ignorance of what constitutes a secret.
Buddhi was arrested on April 14, 2006 and found guilty of threatening the life of a US President in 2007.[7] Earlier on Friday, February 3, 2006, Buddhi was questioned by the Secret Service who made a formal report saying that Buddhi was not a threat to the US President or any Secret Service protected person.[7]
The prosecution has alleged that Buddhi posted messages on a Yahoo business discussion forum which appeared in December 2005 and January 2006 calling upon the people of Iraq to retaliate against Iraq war and kill then president George W. Bush, vice-president Dick Cheney and their spouses. Buddhi's lawyer Somnath Bharti has alleged that the indictment did not mention any of the alleged charges and the prosecution failed to establish Buddhi as the author of the messages although they originated from a Purdue University IP address. Buddhi had hacked the Yahoo ID's of thousands of Purdue University Students, then used those hacked stolen ID's to spread anti-Bush, Anti-War messages across Yahoo's Discussion Boards, using an automated software program known as a "Bot".[8]
Buddhi has received considerable support from the alumni and staff of the IITs, who have joined with his father and lobbied for his release with External Affairs Minister, SM Krishna[1] and former US President Bill Clinton.[2]

Dear Carol: AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH ...VOLES!
I saw the picture in The Post-Standard showing the lawn with the vole trails, and it reminded me of my battle with those little varmints. I have spent the last two or three years planting my rock gardens appropriately to stave off the ever-increasing suburban deer population. Now that the snow has melted, there are tell-tale trails running from the meadow behind my house to most of my frontyard gardens.
Those wicked voles have been feasting on all the tasty roots and bulbs, and apparently they have been getting helped and/or are being coached by a larger rodent, rabbit or chipmunk judging by the size of the holes and height of the chewed vegetation. This is definitely not deer damage as their work is a topic for another email.
MoleTox and poison smoke bombs have been effective but are very expensive to buy on a regular basis. What can I do? Please help. I'm starting to feel like Carl Spackler the groundskeeper in the Caddyshack movie. -- L.S., Syracuse.
Dear L.S.: I expected the photo of the vole runways to get a reaction from gardeners afflicted by these rodents. The moles that cause the damage shown in today's photo drive people equally crazy. These animals had a fine time this winter. The prolonged snow cover kept the soil relatively warm and protected the pests from predators. As a result, there's a lot of lawn fixing up to do. There is also significant damage to woody plants. Voles girdle young trees and shrubs at soil level, sometimes killing them. Another name for voles is meadow mice.
Don't get me started on the rabbits. The snow was so high that they were able to munch much higher off the ground than normal. Rabbit damage is recognizable because the twig is neatly bitten off at a 45 degree angle.
Don't blame the chipmunks. They are inactive in the winter, staying in the burrow and eating the cache of food they have stored there. Chipmunks are omnivores. Voles and rabbits are vegetarians. All living creatures need food, water and shelter. Your rock gardens provide excellent shelter for voles. They have several litters a year, and the populations can become great when conditions are right. They have predators, but snakes, foxes, hawks, owls, coyotes and so on are not so abundant in cities.
Any effort to control voles has to be continuous. The poison baits labeled for meadow voles are restricted-use pesticides and are best used in the fall by certified applicators. In the early spring, before there is much natural food available, try lots and lots of snap-back mouse traps. Cornell University researchers suggest baiting the traps with apple pieces, placing them in the runways and covering them with a shingle or something similar because voles normally feed under cover.

In 2026, the Art Association of Harrisburg will celebrate its 100th birthday, but you don't need to wait until then to get a tangible sense of the group's history.
There's an exhibition of works from the organization's permanent collection is currently on display, with art that translates into a visual catalog of the personalities, influences and styles that have been a part of AAH since its early days.
Donors have been giving works of art to the Association since the organization was founded in 1926. It wasn't until the association fortuitously acquired its headquarters in the Governor Findlay mansion on Front Street that the permanent collection has been of significant size.
The current exhibit is a history of the artistic life of the association, said Terrie Hosey, AAH's curator.
Some works were donated by people who were forced to downsize, or in memory of a deceased artist. Others were part of an estate or bequest. A few were donated from benefactors who helped an artist by accepting paintings in exchange for art supplies or transportation.
The permanent collection resides in the fourth floor of AAH's historic building, stored on racks that make it difficult to know exactly what's up there. There's not a lot of storage space, and some really excellent works aren't framed yet, Hosey said.
Once she selected the works for the exhibit, she hauled them down several flights of stairs, carefully cleaned each item and decided how best to display the works.
One beautiful old oil painting had a small tear in the canvas that couldn't be seen in the storage space. It's hardly noticeable on the wall. These works can be as fragile as living creatures.
What can you see in the exhibit? On the main ground floor room there are colorful works in different styles by Lorenzo Ayala, Clyde McGeary, Brian Rogers and Kathleen Piunti, among other artists. Other familiar names include the late watercolorist Nick Ruggieri and Wanda Macomber.
There are a couple of erotic photographs by Lancaster-based Bruce Fry and some intriguing book illustrations by Alden Turner. A three-dimensional shaped canvas in yellow and green by Gary Jurysta immediately evokes the 1960s.
On the way upstairs, there's a portrait of a vaguely familiar face on the landing. It's Dave Miner's "Johnnie Johnson." At one time, Johnson was the night watchman at the Art Association, and a fixture at exhibition openings.
Continue on your way, and you'll end up in the Charles "Li" Hidley room, dedicated to works by him and his students. Hidley was an outstandingly important artist and teacher at AAH from 1966 until his death in 2003. He served as the organization's idiosyncratic curator and receptionist. He was also responsible for the acquisition of many of the works that are included in AAH's permanent collection.
AAH president Carrie Wissler-Thomas was once a student of his, and she said that the room illustrates the transforming influence Hidley had on many fine artists, not just those who painted in his expressionist style. "He burst upon the scene in the mid '60s," she said, "and he dedicated himself to freeing his students from the constrictions of the past."
"Far from forcing his students into his mold, his influence was through his critiques of their works in class," she added. "He helped student artists develop their own style." A walk around this room crammed full of colorful, emotive works confirms the accuracy of Wissler-Thomas's analysis.
A very different experience is in the room next door, a graceful space with a multi-window view of trees and the Susquehanna. "Groovy old landscapes," joked Hosey when we walked in, that include works by Ira Deen, S. E. Greene and Walt Huber. Some paintings were already in the mansion when AAH took up residence in 1964. A few go back to the late 1800s.
All styles and media have been exhibited throughout the years of AAH's existence. This show is your opportunity to see highlights of many of the artists who exhibited there.
Wissler-Thomas is currently working on a book about the vivid history of the AAH, and she portrayed one of its founders, Mrs. Gertrude McCormick, in Open Stage of Harrisburg's recent production. It's McCormick's massive and elegant portrait that greets you when you walk in the front door of the historic building.

The county last year spent $865,336 on legal fees to outside firms, according to a report completed by a transition team ordered by the new Republican freeholder leadership earlier this year.
Add to that the county solicitor's $70,000 salary for that year, and the total becomes $935,336 for 2011.
During the board's work session Tuesday night, Freeholder Director Carl Kirstein stated the county could save hundreds of thousands of dollars by hiring one or two attorneys to handle its lawsuits, rather than relying on contracts with area law firms.
"We spent $900,000 in legal funds last year, and I believe we could save a lot of money by hiring an in-house attorney, and using some of the legal fund to pay for it," said Sheppard. "Once we bring them on, we can save money as we start to use our attorneys more, and the other people less."
However, Freeholder Carol Musso opposed the idea of hiring one or more full-time employees, who would be eligible to receive benefits, during a time when all county departments are shrinking.
"If we do this, we're creating new positions," said Musso. "Are they going to be full time? Because if they are, they'd get benefits, and I don't think we should bring on more people, giving them benefits, while we're laying people off at the same time."
Musso also pointed out that the county has recently renewed its various legal contracts. They are set to expire again in March of next year.
Kirstein and Sheppard countered, stating the county could transfer some of the funds it doesn't pay to outside law firms to pay for the salaries and potential benefits of the new attorneys.
"The way the contracts are with the law offices, it's not a flat fee — we pay them as we use them," said Kirstein after Tuesday's meeting. "So, we would have money as we begin to use them less."
According to the transition report on legal expenses, led by Vineland attorney Richard Tonetta, Gloucester County employs four full-time associate solicitors serving on a yearly basis in addition to their solicitor, who serves a three-year term.
The report states that Gloucester County in 2011 spent $840,000 on legal services, including outside legal work.
"In comparison, Gloucester is a much larger county in terms of legal services provided," the report reads.
Cape May County employs two full-time attorneys — one solicitor and one associate. Their 2011 legal budget was $307,502.
According to county administrator Ken Mecouch, the freeholders can take on new county attorneys either as employees or as appointees.
However, he added the board should soon come to a decision on salaries and terms for the new hires, so they can be included in the 2012 budget.
"The earlier you decide on this, and slot it in the budget, the easier it is," said Mecouch. "But if you're going to do this, it needs to be paid for in the budget."
Kirstein stated that while he and the other members of the freeholder finance committee plan on introducing their budget during next Tuesday's regular meeting, several details of the spending plan have yet to be determined.
He said that the first draft of the budget will be ready by next week to present to the full board and the public.

Service to my community include a 30-year membership in Kiwanis Club, lifetime member of the Elks Club, Board of Directors member of Bonner General Hospital for 29 years, past commissioner of the Westside Fire District for Bonner County and involvement in youth baseball for 8 years.
I am married to Mary, have six children and eighteen grandchildren.
I am interested in seeking the position of Idaho State Treasurer for the following reasons:
-- It is time for a change in the Idaho State Treasurer's office and to set a precedent for a change.
-- It is also time for a representative from North Idaho to have a say in the state government. We are all one state and should be shown there are opportunities for all citizens to participate in government affairs. A change would encourage others from all parts of the state to challenge for the various offices.
-- I have been a lifelong resident of the State of Idaho, and to my advantage and to the State, I have lived in north and south Idaho, giving me an understanding of the different sections of Idaho.
-- I do not believe a candidate can have a good feel for a state as large as Idaho while living in only one area of the State. The office holder should be aware of the other sections of the State and different needs for each.
-- The past history of the occupant of the office indicates a comfortable position and, with no challenge, does not provide a reason for the office holder to describe a reason why he is there.
-- I have the financial background to perform the duties of Idaho State Treasurer. Also, my educational credits provide a sound basis for the position of Idaho State Treasurer.
-- I have had the responsibility of managing and directing employees to support the position I was given. The experience covers a period of 40 years in management.
In conclusion, the State will be improved by the change of occupants in the Office of Idaho State Treasurer and I want to be that change.

Flying to Ashgabat
You can travel to Ashgabat via either:
- Turkish Airlines from Istanbul
- Lufthansa, departure from Germany with a small stop in Baku, Azerbidjan.
You can also travel via Turkmen Airlines, but it is not highly recommended since they are not member of IATA.
- Business Travel
No Taxi in Ashgabat !
There are no official Taxis in Ashgabat. Every car can be considered as a Taxi. Just wave your hand and a car would stop. When you use a car waiting outside the hotel, the driver will ask you for something around 50,000 Manats (~ 2 USD), which is considered expensive. 20,000 Manats (less than 1 USD) will be more than enough for a ride.
- Business Travel
The taxis can be scary but are very cheap. Petrol costs about $1 for 60 liters.
Most trips around town will cost less than $0.50. From the city to the airport (which isn't too far from the city centre) cost me 15,000 Manat (about $0.60 changed at black market rates).
- Backpacking
to Ashgabat from Dashoguz
Minibuses leave Dashoguz, (60km from Khiva in Uzbekistan) when full from the Vokzal (bus station). The ten hour journey (570km) through the desert costs 130,000 Manat (24,000M/$ black market; 5300m/$ gov't rate). I paid $6 in US funds.
Bring plenty of water and some food along for the ride as there are not many places to stop. The road is great in some places but most of it is quite rough. It does not seem to be possible to break the journey.

The New Year and Nativity/Theophany celebrations are something different in the Middle East, and especially in Istanbul. Among the two-thirds of the Armenian people who live in the Diaspora in various countries, Catholic and Protestant traditions clearly affect Armenians and their families. In most parts of the West places of work are closed, and the feasts of the birth and baptism of the Lord Jesus Christ, together with the New Year celebration, begin on 24/25 December.
As His Beatitude Mesrob II, Armenian Patriarch of Istanbul and All Turkey, mentioned in several previous articles, he sees no harm in this. His Beatitude the Patriarch said, "The coming of God's Word in the bodily form of Jesus of Nazareth is such a deep mystery that we prepare for it for seven weeks, and we have related activities that altogether last until 14 February. Instead of restricting the feast to 5/6 January we celebrate it for a full two weeks, from 24 December to 6 January. Is there anything to match that?"
The Western Churches divided the Feast of Epiphany beginning in the 4th century, followed closely thereafter by churches in Anatolia, and then at the beginning of the last century by the Syrian Orthodox Church. Epiphany was celebrated previously on 5/6 January, but they began to celebrate the Nativity of the Lord Jesus Christ on 24/25 December and His baptism on 5/6 January. But the Armenian Church continued with the oldest tradition in Christian history and celebrated both the nativity and the baptism on 5/6 January. They called this feast the "Nativity and Theophany" (Surp Dzınunt yev Asdvadzadzahaydnutyun).
ADVENTPreparation for the Feast of Nativity and Theophany lasts for seven weeks and is called the period of Advent (Hisnag, meaning "fifty days"). In the first, fourth, and seventh weeks of Advent, a vegetarian diet is recommended to church members. At sunset on every Saturday, a new purple candle is lighted with the saying of prayers and singing of hymns.
NEW YEAR'S EVEIn Armenian traditions the evening of 31 December takes place in the family home. People go to a nearby church for end of year prayers.
That evening the members of the family, relatives, and friends come together. The poor, the lonely, the widows, the orphans, and the handicapped are not forgotten; if possible, they are invited to the evening meal. Because of the dietary restrictions of the Feast of Nativity and Theophany, the table features sea foods and vegetarian dishes, in addition to topik and dried fruits and nuts. Although it is not an Armenian tradition, turkey has often been served as well, ever since the 1930s.
At two minutes to midnight all lights in the house are put out, and the New Year is entered with the saying of the Lord's Prayer. Immediately after the prayer all lights in the house are turned on and everyone embraces each other, conveys their best wishes for the New Year, gives presents to the children, and eats anooshaboor, which is a type of pudding.
NEW YEARAs soon as the New Year begins, traditions particular to Istanbul Armenians take place. For instance, pomegranates, which symbolize prosperity, are smashed on the thresholds of shops, or placed on desks in offices. Visits are made to at least one sacred spring until morning breaks, and in the morning people go to church and join the first Divine Liturgy of the New Year. There are special Father Christmas, New Year, and Nativity and Theophany concerts for children that are held in churches and schools.
ARMENIAN CHRISTMAS EVEDjrakalooyts - this Armenian word means the lighting of lamps and candles, and it is used for the eve of the Feast of the Nativity and Theophany, and the eve of Easter. After the Divine Liturgy, which begins in the churches at sunset, families gather as they do for New Year's Eve. Because of dietary restrictions meat is not eaten, and seafood is preferred.
THE FEAST OF NATIVITY AND THEOPHANYEvery member of the community must attend the Divine Liturgy in the churches between 10:00 and 12:00. In all churches the Feast message of His Beatitude the Patriarch is read. At 10:00 a religious procession takes place from the Patriarchate building in Kumkapi to the Patriarchal church. After the service, His Beatitude the Patriarch similarly returns to the Patriarchate. At 15:00 anyone who wishes can join the festival reception in the Bezciyan Hall. Afterwards people pass the holiday by visiting near and distant relatives until the late hours of the evening.
COMMEMORATION OF DECEASED FAMILY MEMBERSOn the second day of the Feast of the Nativity and Theophany, people visit the cemeteries, if only briefly, and we remember our loved ones who now rest in the Lord. The message of the Feast of the Nativity and Theophany thus becomes good news to everyone, alive or deceased.
OUR HOMES ARE BLESSEDDuring the 40-day period from 6 January to 14 February, members of the community make an appointment at a convenient day and time with the pastor of the family or the neighbourhood to visit their home sites. A small traditional prayer is said at the home, incense is lighted, and the Gospel is read. The birth of Jesus Christ has changed world history, yet the spiritual blessings and joy that can be felt in our individual or family lives by giving Him a place again in our hearts is announced anew.
Christ is Born and Revealed! Joy to the world!Blessed be his Revelation! Joy to the world!

I was a senior in high school when my grandfather succumbed to it: Evil, nasty cancer, the kind that sapped the will to live from a man who had a booming laugh, callused hands and a deep faith in God.
That's who I'll be remembering when Jon Lester takes the mound tonight for the Boston Red Sox less than a year after being diagnosed with anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
It's a heart-warming story, obviously, and one that deserves our undivided attention. For we can all identify with the scares that go with the dreaded C-word, and the nagging doubts it can leave in those who are diagnosed with it. Lester's return gives hope to all of us, even in 2007, when cancer is no longer the death sentence it used to be.
The surprise announcement from the Red Sox on Lester's return has prompted a flurry of articles and columns today, including a poignant piece from Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy, of all people. One paragraph in particular caught my eye:
It became harder to keep Lester out of the mental mix in February when we saw him in Florida with a full head of hair, telling us he was back to his old pitching weight. It was clear the young lefty was tired of the kid glove treatment. He didn't want to be "Cancer Boy." He wanted to be like everybody else. He wanted a chance to pitch his way back to the big leagues.
"Cancer boy." Like it or not, that is what Jon Lester remains to many baseball fans out there, simply because while he and Clay Buchholz remain the most promising young pitchers in the Red Sox system, his medical condition at 22 drew national attention.
A few good starts, of course, will erase that. He will go back to being Jon Lester, the lefty of the future. The man capable of mowing down Major League batters, as he did a year ago last week, when he pitched eight innings of one-hit ball in a 1-0 win against the Kansas City Royals.
So, here's to Jon Lester.
Here's to him becoming a regular member of the Boston Red Sox, and not just a cancer survivor whose return to Major League baseball is rightfully being treated as one of the best stories in 2007 in Boston sports.
Here's to him pitching a long career in the bigs, and being able to forget -- at least most of the time -- about the sickness that wiped out the tail end of his 2006 season.
Most of all, here's to his health, and to the joy it brings cancer survivors and sufferers and their family members all over. That's something to celebrate.

The U.S. State Department this month released its full report on fiscal year 2011 intercountry adoptions -- what most people would call international adoptions. The number dropped to the lowest since 1994, and an AP story summing up the results points to cutbacks by China and Ethiopia as a major reason.
The full report, on the State Department website, gives a wealth of information on international adoptions, for instance breaking down statistics by state, by nation of origin, etc. Click on the "Fiscal Year 2011 Final Report" tab to view the tables.
The site also posts notices that pertain to those in the process of adopting, such as rule changes, and has resource pages about the adoption process, what the Hague Convention rules mean and so on.
On this last day of National Adoption Month, it makes for interesting reading.
And for a poignant video about adoptions, see the "One Day" project that marked National Adoption Day.

Moser arrived at Columbia, the Washington County-based outdoor footwear and apparel company, about two years ago to the newly created position of general manager, apparel merchandising.
Moser brings over 20 years of senior experience in apparel merchandising with several global brands.
Prior to Columbia, she served as senior vice president of product, sales, and marketing at LaCrosse, Inc., in Portland, where she led efforts to integrate sales, marketing, design, development, forecasting and customer service operations in support of the company's brand portfolio.
Before that, she was a founding member of Nau, Inc., in Portland, where she served as chief operating officer and general manager from 2005 to 2008, "building teams and implementing integrated operational processes across the entire organization," a Columbia news release says.
She also spent 14 years at Patagonia, Inc., in Ventura, Calif., rising to general merchandise manager with responsibility for all product lines developed for all sales channels and global geographies.
As Columbia's general manager of apparel merchandising, she oversaw apparel assortment, line direction, pricing and regionalization.
"We are extremely pleased to announce Adrienne's promotion to this key role," Mick McCormick, Columbia executive vice president, said in the news release. "Adrienne is a proven leader and a world-class merchandiser. Her depth and breadth of experience across the outdoor industry will be instrumental as we strive to provide our customers with the most innovative apparel technology and design available."
Moser replaces Sue Parham who left Columbia to pursue other interests, the company said in a news release.
Parham, wife of Ron Parham, senior director of investor relations for Columbia, was among the company executives who presented Columbia's spring 2012 line of apparel and footwear to journalists at an event last summer in San Francisco.
Columbia will announce its fourth quarter financial results at market's close on Thursday. Its stock closed down 16 cents today at $45.85 on Nasdaq with a 52-week high of $70.64.

TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie has declared a state of emergency today due to a heavy snow storm expected to make travel dangerous for several days.
The governor also called for all non-essential state workers to go home, on a staggering schedule, starting at noon.
"Today's winter storm is expected to produce heavy snow and travel hazards throughout the state, affecting tonight's evening commute," Christie said in a statement. "I've authorized state officials to take all necessary action to prepare, and my Administration will continue monitoring conditions throughout the remainder of the storm. I encourage all New Jerseyans to drive carefully and remain off the roads if possible so that our first responders and public safety officials can safely respond to any emergency situations."
The storm is expected to bring heavy snow and mixed precipitation throughout the state, leading to fallen trees, power outages and flooding, the governor said.
His executive order authorizes "the State Director of Emergency Management to activate and coordinate the preparation, response and recovery efforts for the storm with all county and municipal emergency operations and governmental agencies."
The sudden dismissal of state workers during Christie's inauguration two weeks ago snarled traffic through Trenton for hours.

State of Tennessee Press Release; Oct. 6, 2010:
Patrick Smith Named To Lead Tennessee First To The Top Oversight Team
NASHVILLE – Governor Phil Bredesen today announced Patrick Smith has been appointed interim executive director of the Tennessee First to the Top Oversight Team. Smith will lead implementation of Tennessee's First to the Top plan to invest a $501 million Race to the Top grant in public education reform initiatives that will improve student achievement over the next four years.
"Patrick is well-known and respected by education stakeholders across the state," said Bredesen. "I'm extremely pleased he has agreed to head up our First to the Top implementation team, providing guidance and stability through the period of transition in the months ahead to ensure we maintain momentum and focus as we work to improve the quality of education we provide our children."
"Tennessee has become a national model for education reform," said Smith. "This is one of the most important and exciting periods for public education in our state's history and I'm grateful to have this opportunity to help ensure we achieve our goals for improving student achievement."
The state's First to the Top plan was developed with broad, nonpartisan support from a wide variety of stakeholders. It details how Tennessee will improve student performance in five key areas:
1. Adopting higher standards and assessments to prepare students to succeed in college or the workplace.
2. Building systems that use data to measure student growth and success in a way that helps teachers and principals improve instruction in the classroom.
3. Finding, retaining and rewarding the most effective teachers and principals, including significant investments in professional development.
4. Turning around the lowest-performing schools.
5. Creating a unified strategy to strengthen Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education.
Smith was previously a partner at Southern Strategy Group in Nashville. Before that, he served as deputy director in the Office of State Planning and Policy where he worked on projects to modernize and improve Tennessee's K-12 Basic Education Program funding formula and to implement the Tennessee Diploma Project to increase the rigor and relevance of academic standards in Tennessee. As a member of Governor Bredesen's legislative team, he also led several major administration education initiatives including the state's nationally-recognized Voluntary Pre-K program and an initiative to address teacher pay equalization.
Smith has worked with the Tennessee Education Association and the Tennessee School Boards Association. He served as a legal consultant with the University of Tennessee's Institute for Public Service and represented Tennessee on the Education Commission of the States and as a member of the board of directors of the Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation.
The Ashland City, Tenn., native holds a Bachelor of Science in Public Administration from Middle Tennessee State University and a Juris Doctor from the Nashville School of Law.

Interdisciplinary approach
The comparative cultures major at Alfred University is a unique interdisciplinary program that allows students to learn how people in various parts of the world find meaning in their lives through their social, cultural and religious activities.
Program features
Courses in anthropology, religious studies and non-Western art history allow students to explore how people construct and maintain their identities through social organizations, gender relationships, values, myths, rituals and artistic expressions. Study abroad and fieldwork projects supplement coursework enabling students to gain an appreciation of cultural pluralism, and develop specific knowledge of diverse societies and religious traditions.
Most comparative cultures classes are small, with no more than 20 students, and are taught in seminar and discussion format.
Career preparation
The comparative cultures major prepares students for careers that require knowledge of various cultures throughout the world, including international relations or business within the global context. It also excellent preparation for negotiating our increasingly complex, pluralistic world where counselors and social workers, business people and government workers must deal with people from diverse cultures and religious traditions.

Is there a way to determine the best movie that uses Alabama as the backdrop?
One Reddit user seems to think so.
The Washington Post reports that "Jakubisko" compiled a US map that details the best film set in every state.
So, what is the best Alabama-based movie? "To Kill A Mockingbird," according to the map.
"Gone With The Wind" was identified as Georgia's best. Mississippi got Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained," while Florida's best is "Scarface."
What do you think the best film set in Alabama should be? Take our poll and let us know in the comments.

All hostages are believed to have been evacuated from a Nairobi shopping mall and Kenyan special forces are not encountering any resistance, a government spokesman says.
He said the three-day-long siege by Islamist gunmen, which has left at least 62 dead and up to 200 wounded, was nearing the end.
"Our special forces are inside the building checking the rooms. Obviously it's a very, very big building,'' said government spokesman Manoah Esipisu.
"We think that everyone, the hostages, have been evacuated, but we don't want to take any chances,'' he said.
"The special forces are doing their job and yes, I think we are near the end.''
"The special forces call this sanitising. It's a very complex and very delicate operation,'' he said, but said no resistance was being encountered.
"At the moment they have not met any resistance, but of course we are not ruling out the possibility that there are a couple of them hiding in a remote room or corner,'' he said.
Earlier, the interior ministry confirmed the deaths of three of the estimated 10 to 15 al-Shabab militants.
The ministry said authorities detained and were questioning 10 people in relation to the attack, even as military, police and special forces were still working to bring an end to the siege of the four-storey building.
Loud explosions and sustained gunfire were heard several times during Monday in the upmarket Westgate shopping centre, and black smoke continued to billow in the evening from a blaze that authorities said was started by the attackers.
Spokesmen for the Somali al-Shabab militia claimed responsibility for the attack and said there would be no negotiations with the government.
Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage, an al-Shabab leader, told a radio station in Somalia that the remaining attackers would fight to the death, calling the massacre part of a global jihad.
Al-Shabab said the attack was in response to Kenya's military presence in southern Somalia.
Eleven soldiers had been injured in the latest assault.
The current death toll of 62 civilians could rise further, Kenyan officials have said.
Here are details about some of the victims.
Ross Langdon was an architect who worked in Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania, creating eco-lodges and socially sustainable tourism in ecologically sensitive locations.
He was born in Tasmania, he said at a conference in Krakow last year, and his experiences living off the land as a child persuaded him it was better to try to adapt to one's environment than to attempt to change it - to express sensitivity and respect for the tradition of the communities in which he was working.
"I thought it might be better to be like a chameleon - able to adapt and change and blend with our environment rather than conquer it," he said.
The firm he co-founded, Regional Associates, an architecture and research consultancy, issued a statement expressing grief.
"Ross was living his dream, greatly contributing to the lives of people within highly disadvantaged communities and supporting habitat conservation for some of the world's most threatened species," the organisation said on its website.
The consultancy has offices in London, Australia, and Uganda. British media widely reported that Langdon was a dual national, though the Foreign Office did not identify British victims by name.
Langdon's partner, Elif Yavuz, 33, was expecting their first child in early October.
A 2013 graduate of Harvard University's Department of Global Health and Population, she had completed her dissertation research on malaria in eastern Africa and was working with the Clinton Health Access Initiative, the university said in a note to faculty, staff and students.
A statement from Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton said Yavuz had been working with the foundation as a senior vaccines researcher based in Tanzania.
"Elif was brilliant, dedicated, and deeply admired by her colleagues, who will miss her terribly," the Clintons said.
Jessica Cohen, an assistant professor of global health at Harvard and a friend of Yavuz, remembered her as "a deeply caring person and also an intellectually curious person".
"She was one of the most intelligent and full-of-life students I have met," Cohen said. "Malaria is such a huge burden in the world that it is an area where you can make a difference. I think she really enjoyed applying what she learned from the research side to what she knew from field experience."
Juan Ortiz-Iruri was a retired tropical disease specialist for UNICEF who had lived for 25 years in Africa, according to UNICEF and Peruvian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alejandro Neyra.
His son, Ricardo Ortiz, told Radio RPP that he entered the mall accompanied by his daughter, a 13-year-old born in the US.
"The version from my sister is that sadly my father fell to the floor and showed no signs of life," Ortiz said. He said his sister suffered a hand injury, but is out of danger.
Ortiz-Iruri had worked in Kenya, Malawi, Zimbabwe and Liberia.
Kofi Awoonor, a Ghanaian poet, professor and former ambassador to Brazil, Cuba and the United Nations, died after being wounded in the attack, Ghana's presidential office confirmed. Ghana's ministry of information said Awoonor's son was injured and is responding to treatment.
Awoonor's work drew its inspiration from the traditions of his native Ewe tribe. Ghana's poetry foundation said on its website that Awoonor went into exile after Ghana's first president, Kwame Nkrumah, was driven out in a coup in 1966. He studied at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and his dissertation was later published as "The Breast of the Earth: A survey of the History Culture and Literature of Africa South of the Sahara" (1975). He returned to Ghana in 1975 and was later jailed for alleged involvement coup plot. His time in prison was recounted in "The House by the Sea (1978)," the foundation said.
Ruhila Adatia-Sood, whose husband worked for the US Agency for International Development in Nairobi, was killed, the organization said in a press statement. She was a popular radio and TV personality in Kenya and tributes poured in for her on Twitter and Facebook. She was expecting a child.
Mitul Shah, the president of a second-tier football team in Kenya was among those killed, a spokesman for the country's national football federation told The Associated Press. Shah, president of Bidco United, was shot and killed on the first day of the siege on Saturday, Football Kenya spokesman John Kaniuki said. Shah worked for the Bidco cooking oil company and was reportedly attending a promotional cooking event with children at the Westgate mall.
President Uhuru Kenyatta's nephew and nephew's fiancee were also among the dead.
Two Indians, 8-year-old Parmashu Jain and 40-year-old Sridhar Natarajan, were killed, and four others were wounded in the attack, an External Affairs Ministry spokesman said.
Two Canadians, including a diplomat, died in the attack, according to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. He paid tribute to the victims and noted the loss of diplomat Annemarie Desloges, who served in Canada's High Commission to Kenya as a liaison officer with the Canada Border Services Agency.
Her spouse Robert Munk was wounded in the attack, but has since been released from the hospital, the Canadian Press reported.
Tim Edwards, president of the Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers, said Desloges "was one of our bright young lights, and hers was a career brimming with promise. Today we grieve the loss not only of a warm and intelligent friend and colleague, but a lifetime's potential tragically unfilled."
Edwards said 29-year-old Desloges came from a "foreign service family" and had accompanied her parents on overseas postings before deciding to follow in their footsteps in 2006. She served at a posting in New Delhi before moving to Kenya, where she had worked for two years.
Media reports and Facebook users identified Vancouver businessman Naguib Damji as the other Canadian victim. The daughter and niece of Damji confirmed to various media that he died in the attack.
The Swiss government confirmed that one of its citizens was injured in the attack. It said its embassy in Nairobi is in contact with the victim's family and local officials, but would not provide further detail on the victim's name.
British Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said six British nationals are believed to have died in the attack, and he warned the number could rise.
The victims include Zahira Bawa and her 8-year-old daughter Jenah Bawa, from Leamington Spa in central England, a relative told Britain's Press Association news agency.
Two French women were killed, President Francois Hollande said.
One South African citizen was killed, according to the country's International Relations Department.
A 38-year-old Chinese woman with the surname Zhou who worked in the real estate industry was killed in the attack, China's official Xinhua News Agency reported. Her son was injured in the attack and was in stable condition in a hospital, according to the Chinese Embassy in Kenya.
Five American citizens were injured, US officials said.
Andrew McLaren, 34, a New Zealander who managed a factory in Kenya for the avocado oil company Olivado, was wounded in the attack, the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed. He was hospitalised in stable condition.

The @Yankees sign 8-time All-Star OF Carlos Beltran to 3-year contract. #WelcomeToTheYankees pic.twitter.com/qeaLIXlh1M— New York Yankees (@Yankees) December 19, 2013
Carlos Beltran is a Yankee.
The team says it will announce his signing at a press conference at Yankee Stadium at 11 a.m. Friday.
The event is expected to be like the others the Yankees held for Brian McCann and Jacoby Ellsbury in recent weeks. Officials and Beltran will get up and talk about how happy they are to have Beltran in The Bronx. Beltran will talk a little bit with the media. The beat goes on.
We'll have more than a few questions ready for Beltran.
But what do you want to ask him?
Tell us in the comments and we'll pick the best questions and see if we can toss them his way.

Hello. I am a member of the Alaskan community, currently residing in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. Before I go further, I should mention that I am not being compensated for this message. I simply want to reach somebody who might be listening out there with regard to the following statement in the article: "That's primarily because [Alaska] hasn't stepped up to fund it, and no entrepreneurs are willing to do a cost share, which the state would likely be inclined to do." Throughout the several years I lived in the interior, I thought about how to overcome the high cost of the commonly used home heating energy sources. I purchased a pellet stove back in 08' as part of a systematic experiment to put pellet fuel to the test in my home in North Pole, Alaska. Consistently throughout the experiment(s), I contemplated the possibility of producing pellets locally with a smaller scale production mill. The biomass model looks sustainable throughout the state, and demand for more affordable heating options would almost surely support competitive pricing on low-cost local production. I consider myself an entrepreneur, so precisely what kind of cost sharing are we talking about here?

3 - Using the addon to bid random value
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.create auction
2. in the bid window type a value over 1000
3. click bid
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should give you whatever you bid aka 1k. Instead it puts any random number. Sometimes in the 100's of thousands.
What version of the product are you using?
latest release
Do you have an error log of what happened?
Please provide any additional information below.
Would be better if the box was bigger or even used the same box as the auto bid option.
Hard to tell ppl to use this addon when the bids all fuck up.

I made this for lunch for Joey after he finished the Warrior Dash, a mud-crawling, fire-leaping, extreme 5k run from hell. "Warriors" conquer extreme obstacles, push their limits and celebrate with music, beer and Warrior helmets. Sadly, Joey could not enjoy a celebratory beer, so I thought a hearty, manly salad would have to do.
This is a fantastic use for leftover steak. Let's face it, does anyone really enjoy leftover steak the day? Whenever we have leftover steak, it ends up wrapped in foil, sitting in the refrigerator for several day, before someone finds it and ends up cutting it up for the dogs. This salad is the perfect way to get another meal out of leftovers.
Steak Salad with Arugula and Blue Cheese
(adapted from Smitten Kitchen)
1 pint (2 cups) cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup (about 4 ounces) crumbled blue cheese
1/2 pound baby arugula
Vinaigrette (below)
3 tablespoons minced chives, 2 thinly sliced scallions or 3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion, for garnish</p>
Slice the steak into thin slices against the grain. Allow the meat to come to room temperature.
Arrange arugula on a large platter. Thinly slice steak on the diagonal, across the grain. Arrange over arugula, then toss halved cherry tomatoes and blue cheese over platter. Add mustard vinaigrette to taste, then sprinkle with chives, scallions or red onion. Serve with additional vinaigrette on the side.
Steakhouse Mustard Vinaigrette
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon honey
1/3 cup olive oil

I'm all geared up for tonight's Kate-centric episode, especially after reading Doc Jensen's scoop- and spoiler-filled interview with Damon Lindeloff and Carlton Cuse over at Entertainment Weekly. (Me? I don't think the spoilers spoil too much, but they will clue you in as to what to generally expect from the remainder of the season and what details fans are spending way too much time analyzing.)
Speaking of way too much time analyzing, check out this week's batch of theories, some of which are just cracking wise and some of which are clearly crackpot:
"Antarctica is the answer. I am sure of it. The answer lies in the Of Montreal song
'Wraith Pinned to Mist...,' where Kevin Barnes sings: 'Let's pretend we don't exist. Let's pretend we're in Antarctica.' My theory only gains credence when you realize that Barnes sold the rights of this song to Outback Steakhouse, which of course a reference to the fact that the Lost flight was departing from Australia. You can all stop watching now."
—"decal" at The AV Club
"I have a feeling we will get major hints and there WILL be some answers, big ones at some point, but I doubt there will be a point-blank 'Why is all this happening?' 'Well, it's because the island is located on an anti-matter mirror moon floating through space in the fourth dimension.' 'Ohhhhhhhh!'
—"Quimbies the Mouse" at The AV Club
"The coffin occupant is Michael, who lost both of his legs in a post-island accident, and then spent some time in a maximum security prison with alternate timeline Mr. Eko"
—"The Wizard" at The AV Club
"Here is 'The Prestige' theory on the bad twin. What if no one can really leave the island? But, they can be duplicated off the island. A copy stays on the island, and a copy is walking around off the island. If someone dies on the island, at least they can bring back the copy that is still out there in world."
—"ErasedSlate" Doc Arzt's "Lost" Blog
"The island is behind millions of years. Thus, in the real world, the island has moved due to continental drift, and is today located in Tunisia. It is much like how there is evidence that Antarctica was located on the equator millions of years ago. This theory would also explain why there is no native life on the island. Human life is not on the earth yet."
—"I BLEED BLUE" at Lospedia
And then there's this, also at Lostpedia:

Everything make sense now? Good.

Cons: Even with a light filter on the front intake x2, it makes grinding noise from the resistance. No problems at all with just mesh though.READ FULL REVIEW

Toys and candy-filled stockings were packed up with care, and given to children who passed through there.
Mothers with babies, and fathers wearing caps, watched as their children were photographed on Santa's lap.
Councilman Willie Watson said the event -- a 30-year tradition in the city -- is meant to spread joy to those less fortunate.
"This year it's been kind of hard," Muskegon Heights mother Darlene Bennett said at the Saturday event. "I just brought the children here so they could have a good Christmas."
The toys were donated by a variety of people and organizations.
Mayor Darrell Paige was so pleased he thanked them: "Lift-Tech, Attorney Ted Williams, former Mayor Rillastine Wilkins, and Muskegon Heights Fire Fighters Local 615," to name just a few.
The Muskegon Heights Police Department, the Downtown Development Authority, Interim City Manager Jim Stibitz and the Muskegon Heights Festival in the Park Committee also came through.
The gathering of so many, it caused such a clatter. Children played with their presents -- but for some that's not all that mattered.
Christmas is about celebrating Jesus' birthday, said 7-year-old Shantele Wilkinson.
It's about "enjoying the moment with your family," chimed in Robert Wilkinson, Shantele's 12-year-old brother.
Seven-year-old Kendrick Drummer told Santa Claus: "I just want to ask for presents for my sister and mother."
Sometimes it can be difficult, "But I get a good feeling seeing the smiles on their faces," said Community Shores banker Clint Todd, whose red suit and white beard every year at this time put him in such places.
"Often, they just want things for their families," he said of the children. "I really like to talk to kids and keep them motivated. Usually they have a lot going on in their lives."
When the children were all gone, Clint stretched out his legs and then sprang to his car.
But some heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight: "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night."
