Arsenal have no option but to charge high ticket prices, Arsène Wenger said yesterday, and the manager added that he had little sympathy for visiting fans at the Emirates.
Arsenal's match against Manchester City tomorrow costs £62 for the visiting supporters, and City have sent back more than 900 tickets to be re-sold to home fans. Despite all this week's criticism, Wenger said Arsenal need to charge high prices if they are to compete with those clubs funded by benefactors.
"Ideally, you want ticket prices to be as low as possible," Wenger said. "But, on the other hand, the only way we can pay the wages and compete without any external help is with the ticket prices because it is our main income. Therefore we are in this situation where of course the prices are high."
Wenger was more sympathetic to the home fans than those travelling to the Emirates: "I am really worried they are high for our supporters. For the visitors, it only happens once per year so that is less a concern."
Wenger said that individuals had to choose whether to attend football, as they would with other forms of public entertainment. "If you want to go to a concert tomorrow, you look at the price of a ticket and after if it is too high for you, you say yes or no," Wenger said. "That is everybody's individual responsibility."
Wenger said yesterday that Theo Walcott would sign a new contract at Arsenal after his long contract stand-off. Walcott is in the final year of his deal at Arsenal and until recently looked likely to leave, but after recent talks Wenger said the striker would agree a new deal this month.
"We are on a good road but in this situation as long as nothing is signed, you are cautious," Wenger said. "But I am optimistic we will get to a happy conclusion. I was optimistic last week, but I am a bit more optimistic this week."
Walcott has been at Arsenal for nearly seven years but Wenger said he could now start his career in earnest. "He can improve of course," the manager said. "He's 23 years old, that's where usually players start their career. For a striker, he's coming into the best age now."
Despite the contract issue, Walcott has been Arsenal's top scorer so far this season, and Wenger praised his recent form up front. "The quality of his runs off the ball and the quality of his finishing," Wenger identified as Walcott's areas of most improvement. "If you compare Theo from today with three years ago, he is a different animal today. Today he finishes in a calm way and very accurately.
"Against Newcastle, he scored three goals, and was completely committed. One credit I gave him always was that I could never see a difference in training or in games, during that period that was quite difficult for him."
Tomorrow, Wenger will not have to face Robin van Persie, who might have joined Manchester City in the summer but chose Manchester United instead. Wenger suggested that United was a better platform for Van Persie than City would have been.
"You know at City they have plenty of world-class strikers," Wenger said. "[Carlos] Tevez, [Edin] Dzeko – hopefully they won't have [Sergio] Aguero this weekend. They have the quality. If [Van Persie] went to City he would have been just another striker in a bunch of world-class players."

As evidenced by some Instagram photos last weekend, former Washington Capitals goaltender Semyon Varlamov is back in the states to start training for next season– just like his Russian compatriots Evgeny Kuznetsov and Dmitry Orlov.
Varly, who finished second in voting for last year's Vezina Trophy, is working out with expert trainer Steve Saunders for the third straight offseason.
Last week, to improve his explosive strength, Varly attached himself to a bungee cord and did some power jumps away from the wall. It did not go well.
Okay, so far so good. Why did I want to write this post again?
Oh, this is why. The exercise equipment almost rips Varly's pants off.
And the tumble ends with an elegant crash into the wall and floor.
I'm happy to report Varly was not injured on the fall, but I'm pretty sure his pride is still healing.
Video via Semyon Varlamov's Instagram
looks like a drunk idiot
What's Russian and is pulled back faster than Varly? A missile battery out of Ukraine.
Let's give him a break here. Assaulting and beating your girlfriend takes a lot of energy. He's tired.
Heheh this makes me very happy 🙂
That woman-beater should bungee his way to jail. So glad I don't have to root for him.
Apparently someone doesnt read all the stories. Girl made it up to try and get money out of him. I still cheer for Varly. Hands down the best goalie we had. GMGM should have named him number one and traded Neuvy.
Dismissed due to lack of evidence is not the same thing as it not happening.
That was her case, yeah. But I forget where it was, but it came out that it was like a plot to get money out of him.
Got any links? I never read or saw that.
The prosecutor said they believed her story but as is usually the case with abuse, getting a jury to convict is another thing entirely.
I dont off hand no, but it was right around when the prosecution dropped the charges (not dismissed). It was dropped by the prosecution after new information surfaced from the witnesses. Didnt think they could win…hmm.
I couldn't find a single reference or article to your claim.
We have a reader and regular commenter who's a lawyer who provided a much better legal interpretation of that case than you can get from reading Puck Daddy or other sources that don't provide legal expertise. It appears the case was extremely weak. I care a great deal about domestic violence and don't excuse such things just because someone is talented and famous, but part of caring about victims of violence is respecting due process and presumption of innocence. Take it from someone who's had to serve as a witness.
Unfortunately, a lot of that got lost in this case due to the muddled coverage– fame can result in terrible injustices either way.
Well, getting slammed against the wall should help prepare him for playing against some teams in the league. I swear to God, it's like bowling for goalies out there sometimes.
Dont get me wrong, I by no means condone abuse. Not in the least. But calling someone a wife-beater without knowing for sure the truth is wrong. Once labeled, he will always deal with this regardless of guilt/innocence. If he did it, by all means, bash away. I agree celebrity status makes a mess of things.
Here's to hoping Orpik brings that much needed crease clearing presence we havent had in years. Our goalies get hit all the time and nothing ever happens. Hence they do it again and again.
Oh, goodness, I completely agree! I found Graham's explanation really helpful, and who knows, maybe he can chime in and help again (we need some sort of lawyer version of the Batman sign). As there was a dearth of evidence and the case appears to have been weak, and as we have presumption of innocence in this country, I fully agree, supporting Varly does not mean condoning violence.
Sadly the coverage was so screwy it looks like we're probably going to have to have this discussion every time there's a post on him. Oh well. Slander is a crime, too, and if that's what happened (which seems the more likely case by now) then we need to clear that up too.
I by no means thought you were condoning abuse.
Hear, hear!
Good to know. Rather than spark this old story up, lets talk about a more recent crime that needs to be addressed. Justin Bieber sporting a Caps hat. NOOOOOOOOOO Someone call Orlando.
What the hell??? I thought he was a Leafs fan. I have this on the authority of the Dallas Stars publicity people… the last time Bieber had some run in with the law the leafs were in town and the Stars flashed Bieber's mug shot (without his name) up on the jumbotron with "Toronto Maple Leafs fan" underneath. Classic trolling.
Btw, what I mean by "part of caring about victims is respecting due process…" is that when you have to testify about violence– which my job has put me in the position of doing with depressing frequency– you absolutely cannot come across as biased or the defense will pick you apart, even in the face of credible evidence. I feel like our culture projects a false choice sometimes, that either you care about victims or you care about the law. Not only can you do both, you must do both if you want to be a credible advocate and/or witness. Besides, due process and presumption of innocence exist in our legal system for good reason: some accused folks are innocent.
Trust me, it's really hard in the face of blatant abuse to maintain a neutral, objective tone and choose words carefully, but it is an absolute must or guilty people can walk.
Anyways, hoping we can get back to hockey now…
It's a Russian article where her friend recorded her saying on the phone "that's the only thing I came for" referring to the only reason why she came to the USA and immediately got herself a lawyer. There was also an interview from a guest show where Varlamov's dad went and also people who know the girl and her "friend." She was asked (on a phone since she was still in Colorado) why she got herself a lawyer when getting to Colorado and she storm off.
I don't remember if the blog on the Denver post translate it but you can find it on the HFboards on the Colorado Avalanche Semyon Varlamov's case trend.
Suit yourself.
Our goalies may get hit, but damn, Holtby is all too willing to hit right back.
And that's the rub. He may be guilty, he may not be. But since there was not enough evidence, the prosecutors had to drop the case. I just hope both he and the girlfriend can get their heads screwed on straight so it doesn't happen again.
the exchange between Holtbeast and Peverley is my favourite Holtby moment so far in his career.
We SO do not need a lawyer-batman sign!
Oh, that was excellent. I think it's my boyfriend's favorite too. Equally awesome was when he destroyed Travis Moen (and Jack Hillen–oops!)
But all you have to do is stick fangs on the bat!
No, seriously, thank you for your help on that. I guess I wouldn't want to be on call for every time somebody brings this up either. 😉
my favorite HOCKEY moment so far….
It's not that, it's just I honestly can't remember what I said! I think at the time I was doing a bunch of sealed-records cases at work, so I focused on the importance of the presumption of innocence absent an actual conviction. Also maybe something about the meaning of the technical disposition of the case?
Come to think of it, I think it was in the comments of the entry titled Varlamov "Maniacally Protects the Crease," under related articles. That just reminded me.
I love how, possibly due to the wardrobe malfunction in the gif, these are listed next to a men's underwear ad…
Check this post out for more info and links to Russian press stories on the ex gf.
They broke up at the time of the incident so there will be no future events between them.
Uh. Yeah, no, to Varly being the best goalie we ever had. What the hell is Olie, chopped liver?
Well first off, I said best goalie we had…as in when he was here. Never said he was the best we EVER had (although the argument could be made). It's also really hard to judge two different players from different playing times. Having said that, I'm a huge Olie fan. Met him numerous times, excellent guy, great person, really good goalie. But talent wise, Varly probably is better…will be better. The kid is physically gifted/talented. Olie had a great 98, no doubt. Only time will tell though since Varlys career is just beginning. And again, the game changes often, so always hard to compare players from different decades.
Heh. Okay, I'd be willing to allow Varly might have been the most TALENTED one we had out of the three headed baby goalie monster, but I don't think you could call him best either– like it or not, injury history plays into it, and if you can't play, that certainly is a factor. And a player can be the most talented and still not the best player (heeeey, Alex Semin!) I still do that trade every day of the week and twice on Sundays– you can't let a player dictate to the club to the extent that he wanted to, and he hadn't legitimately earned the starter role at that time in history. If he was willing to not report because he wasn't named starter when he still hadn't earned it, that's not an attitude that'll serve the team well.
If he becomes the next Lundqvist, maybe I'll regret that, but so far, he's had his share of good and poor seasons, and I don't think the good has been consistent or large enough to say he's best. I'm simply not ready to proclaim him as the best between he and Holtby now, or in the near future, until there's a couple more seasons. The sample size is just too small.
And you're selling Olie a bit short by only mentioning 98, no? Comparison between two bodies of work aside and eras, they overlap each other by several years, a bit more than comparing, two players when one is from the 80's and one's from 2000. As you said, only time will tell. But right now, Olie has the better career by dint of longevity and actual accomplishments, and Holtby and Varlamov are still in process of being compared and have too small a body of work to definitively say one is best.
Remind me, why isn't he still playing for the Caps? Oh thats right Mcphee.
I thought he like the Blackhawks

I Just Had To Cop It
Two Saturdays ago I had to rush to we Legendary to cop these. Yup, among all the drops for May- PRod 3 (Cinco de Mayo), PRod 2.5 (Lakers) and the Stefan Janoski SB- it's the latter that caught my attention. I'm no skater and coppin' SBs may tag me as a poser but look at them! You don't have to be a skater to realize the beauty of this shoe. A simple, clean white perforated upper with leather laces makes this shoe the perfect summer shoe to rock.
I always had a rule of posting the latest cops before wearin' em but I couldn't resist. Wore these the very next day and absolutely loved it. If you have the chance to find these elsewhere, go ahead. They're worth it. The Janoski ofcourse comes in the blue box with extra white laces. Last weekend wL had their Labor Day Sale. I wasn't able to drop by to check out the goods. Did anyone get to check it out?

This highlighter is so amazing at bringing out our good features. It gives skin a sheer, glowing look without excessive shine or sparkle, and is made with all organic, pure ingredients—like coconut oil and rosemary extract—meaning it's good for your skin too. The slight iridescence of its light-reflecting minerals (no disco ball effect) works to subtly reflect the light and make you look fresh-faced.
I had heard about this product for quite some time but I was concerned about a few things... First the coconut oil base - would it make my skin break out? Nope! Second, is the shimmer really different? Yes - the shimmer is very subtle and more ethereal rather than glittery. And third, I have oily skin - will this make me look greasy? No, if you apply very sparingly. And I will also add that I apply this over powder so that the rest of my skin has a matte finish.
If you are expecting a dramatic highlight, this product might not be for you... However if you are looking for a subtle glow, add this to your cart STAT!
I'm not sure why this stuff is so expensive, but I was persuaded to purchase due to good reviews. The product seems small, but I have had for nearly a year and it's still going. The highlighting is so subtle I sometimes layer it in triplicate just to see something. Blends well, with absolutely no scent though, so that is nice.4
I have dry, sensitive, and rash proned skin. Other highlighters itch my face... not this one! This highlighter not only feels great, but moisturizers my skin! My face looks healthy, glowy, and amazing. Took a gamble and bought based on the reviews alone and it worked out! Def worth every penny!! Some reviews say a little goes a long way... I disagree.. I think you need a couple layers and to apply to your entire cheekbone to see a difference.5
This was very pricey, but if you are into subtle makeup, I think it is worth it. I feel like someone would have to stare at you pretty hard to notice that you're wearing it, but at the same time, it catches the light beautifully and definitely makes a difference. Only complaint: for me, it's not good on skin that gets oily--like eyelids and bridge of nose...I still have to use a powder highlighter for that, unfortunately.4
I was a little hesitant to buy this, mostly because of the price tag. It's a cult favorite, but a good friend and makeup guru of mine had used it and didn't love it. I decided to give it a try anyways and I was not disappointed! This luminzer gives the most perfectly, natural glow. I love wearing it to work for a subtle dewy glow and for days when I'm heading out the door quick and am going for a more natural look and not a super strobed highlight. It's also very moisturizing and lasts all day! It also works as a wonderful base for a powder highlighter as well!5

Which SP version? Try v.2.16.
I have tried to get Street Pilot to run on the AMI DuOs x64 Android Emulator running on a W10 machine.
I have changed the path in the apk to Storage/SDCard/Android as indicated by my file explorer and installed the base files. Unfortunately the app won't even start after installation. Has anybody else tried this and maybe even got it to work?
Which SP version? Try v.2.16.
Unfortunately still doesn't work. I've tried 2.16, 2.35, 2.37. None of them even start.

Have you looked at logcat? It might be crashing when it tries to start gps. Try to first install and run an app such as Fakegps then start SP.

Can houses really be evil? Ryan Reynolds in The Amityville Horror, nearly beheaded his girlfriend's son's head because an evil spirit whispers repeatedly- Katch them, kill them . While the remake of the movie was as scary as the original , the idea of a bad house set me thinking.
There have been a number of times that I would enter into peoples' homes and wouldn't feel comfortable. There was one home where despite the repeated insistence of the host and his wife, I couldn't bring myself to enter. I made all kinds of excuses that sounded lame even to the owners and walked back to the car at a pace that stopped just short of running.
Homes are like sponges that soak up energies of the past and present owners. They reflect the life condition of the owners. Some homes are happy homes where one is instantly at ease and others where one's eyes are always on the door, looking for a quick escape.
And some homes are even worse-they bring bad luck- the house opposite my parents' home was one such place. While it was being built, three construction workers died when the newly built roof caved in and squashed them, the owners of the house bickered constantly and one family member had even knifed her own brother in the middle of a fight.
Ironically, the house's name was Shanti Sadan ( House of Peace ). I was five when I was shown the pool of blood by my grandma (which if you ask me was a crazy thing for her to do but she was an iron lady who had seen the Partition of India along with her little kids so thought nothing of exposing me to it).
The owners would come out into the street and abuse each other in a language so colorful that my mom at one point wanted to change rooms with us to ensure that our vocabulary wasn't further enriched nor did she want us to see adult sibling rivalry at its worst . But we girls wouldnt have it – it was as if we had the front seats to the circus and the lions roared words we had never heard before. The cacophony of screams and bellowing shouts were like music to our ears.
We enjoyed the excitement that seeped into the otherwise peaceful neighbourhood once the fights started and strangely enough they always fought late in the night. My father along with other men of the community would always try to break up the fights and later go back home and discuss it with each other over the phone, while we, kids, would have an excuse to sit up late on a school night and eavesdrop on all the gory details.
The neighbourhood had agreed that like its owners the house was unlucky. When it was finally sold, the house lay barren for about five years. Kids would break into the house, throw stones on the windows, pigeons nested there yet surprisingly none of the stray cats made it their home and there were numerous strays living around our commuity.
The house changed hands after a couple of years and just as the new owner began to demolish the house he suffered a massive heart attack and died. His family, by then had heard, the rumors about the house and were devastated. The house lay in in shambles for another ten years till a cop bought the house.
Nothing much happened when he had the house demolished and built a new one on the ruins of the old. The new house looked grand and yet at the house warming I somehow did not warm up to the house. It still felt strange and even though we liked our new neighbours, I still did not like spending time within those walls.
There was something creepy, maybe it were the memories of the past that I still remembered or was the land itself bad?
Nothing untowards has happened to the current owners of the house. The neighbours believed since the new owners were deeply religious, they were protected.
The owners know the history of the house and they pooh pooh it and yet none of their pets survived beyond three years of keeping.
Are they bad pet owners or is the house working it's evil at a slow yet sure pace?Powered by Sidelines

NEW YORK -- It had been four long years between wins as a starter for John Smoltz -- so long ago that he couldn't recall the last one, June 3, 2001, against Pittsburgh.
So Tuesday night's 4-3 victory over the New York Mets was special for the man who has returned to the Braves rotation this season after posting 154 saves out of the bullpen.
"It's a big part of the process," Smoltz said. "You need a game like this. It means there's a lot of life left."
Smoltz, who will be 38 on May 15, returned from the bullpen to the rotation as the Braves shuffled their pitching staff this season. He had struggled with little run support in his first four starts and went into the seventh inning on a cold, windy night at Shea Stadium when he didn't have his best stuff.
"It was a battle," he said. "I was grinding out there. I didn't have a good splitter or curve. The ball felt like a cueball. I abandoned a pitch or two. I didn't have a good feel of the ball. Patience paid off. The last three games were a grind, just like this one."
The difference was this time Smoltz (1-3) had some runs to work with. The Braves pushed across three in the first inning against Pedro Martinez, matching the total they had scored for Smoltz in his first four starts this season.
"It felt nice and kind of weird," Smoltz said. "It was the first time I've had a lead out of the gate. I wanted to make sure I kept it."
He did, taking the Braves into the seventh inning and leaving with a 4-1 lead.
"He didn't have his best stuff but he's a competitor," said catcher Johnny Estrada, who drove in three runs with a pair of doubles. "He knew what he had to do to get through seven innings."
Smoltz mixed a four-seam fastball, a two-seamer and some changeups for the first time all year.
"You do whatever you can to get them off stride," Smoltz said.
The Braves barely held on after closer Dan Kolb allowed two runs in the ninth. Jose Reyes' second double of the game and pinch-hitter Mike Piazza's single pulled the Mets within 4-3, and a single by Carlos Beltran put runners on first and third and knocked Kolb out of the game. John Foster came in and got Cliff Floyd to pop out for his first career save.
"That's what I love about this team," Mets manager Willie Randolph said. "We keep coming back. We kept playing."
The game was a rematch of the classic duel 16 days ago, when Smoltz struck out 15 and Martinez pitched a two-hitter. This one failed to match that game's intensity, with both pitchers giving up early runs.
"He still looked good to me but I didn't really expect him to come out and strike out 15," Randolph said.
The Braves bunched four hits for three runs in the first inning against Martinez (2-1).
"We got a lot of groundball hits and a blooper or two and all of a sudden, we've got four runs," Atlanta manager Bobby Cox said. "Sometimes, you've got to have some luck."
Pete Orr, who had a pinch-hit home run Monday and was rewarded with a start at third base, started the rally with a single and moved up on a hit by Marcus Giles. After Adam LaRoche forced Giles, Brian Jordan delivered a two-out single, scoring Orr. Estrada dropped a double in short right field for two more runs.
The Mets got a run back in the second when Floyd singled and scored on a double into the left-field corner by David Wright.
In the third, Estrada's second double scored LaRoche, who had walked, restoring the three-run lead.
Smoltz struck out four and walked three. He pitched out of a sixth-inning jam, ending the inning by striking out Ramon Castro after Floyd and Wright had singled. When he gave up two more hits in the seventh, Chris Reitsma relieved and retired Beltran on a fly ball to end the inning.
It was Beltran's two-run homer that turned the first Smoltz-Martinez match for the Mets on April 10.
Martinez, leading the majors with 38 strikeouts going into the game, added eight, walked two and allowed just one hit after the second inning, Estrada's second double. Smoltz, accustomed to minimal support, didn't need more than that.
- With three singles and a double, the Braves had twice as many hits in the first inning against Martinez as they had in nine innings against him on April 10. They also managed only two hits in seven innings against Aaron Heilman on Monday.
- Floyd extended his hitting streak to 13 games with two singles.

Dutch Wave Environmental Festival to Raise Awareness of Plastic Waste
(Miami, Fla.) -- The Consulate of the Kingdom of the Netherlands will join the City of Miami for the Dutch Wave Environmental Festival from 2-5 p.m. January 23 at Peacock Park in Coconut Grove.
The Netherlands and Miami are keenly aware of the effects of plastic waste on society. The Netherlands is moving closer to a circular economy where everyone works to minimize the waste of energy and materials. The City of Miami wants to ensure its residents can continue to enjoy a clean and sustainable environment.
The Dutch Wave Environmental Festival is a free event designed to inspire people to take action to reduce the amount of plastic waste in the ocean, their daily lives, and their communities at large. At the same time, Dutch Wave will call people to use their creativity, innovation and imagination to come up with solutions that can contribute to solving the larger issue of "waste problems." As long as there are humans, there will be waste, but waste can be reused and repurposed to work again and again.
Mayor Tomás Regalado joins Henne Schuwer, the Dutch Ambassador to the United States, and Dorian van Rijsselberghe, Dutch Olympic windsurfing champion, at this family-friendly event. Dutch Wave Environmental Festival attendees can participate in interactive activities and learn how each person can contribute to a cleaner environment. The Dutch Wave Festival is next to the ISAF Sailing World Cup, so attendees can enjoy a fun and educational day by the water.
"It is very fitting that we join Miami for the Dutch Wave Environmental Festival. Miami, much like the Netherlands, is impacted by water," said Ambassador Schuwer. "It's our duty to call attention to the problem of plastic waste, and the power each of us has to reduce and reuse it."
At the Dutch Wave Environmental Festival attendees, will try to break the US record for the longest chain made from plastic bags. This will be the first attempt in the US to do so. The world record is held by South Africa. The chain made at Dutch Wave will be transformed into a work of art and donated.
Dutch Wave will also feature:
- The 2015 ISAF Sailing CUP winner and Olympic champion Dorian van Rijsselberghe, who will be interviewed about his sport and what he encounters surfing. Van Rijsselberghe will compete in the Summer Olympics in Brazil.
- Presentations by Frost Museum, the Plastic Soup Foundation, Surfrider and WWF Brazil and others;
- Workshops on transforming plastic waste into art works (David Edgar) and beach jewelry (Barbara de Vries);
- Cartoonist Gustavo Rodriguez ("Garrincha") will live sketch the Dutch Wave festival and hold a workshop on cartoon drawing;
- Music by Dutch DJ Raynor Bruges; and
- Raffle trip for two to Curacao
- Closing presentation with Nathalie Olijslager, the Miami Dutch Consul General, and Raquel Regalado of the Miami-Dade County School Board in Florida.
The Dutch Wave Environmental Festival is the Miami Consulate's kick-off event of the Netherlands Presidency of the European Union. The Netherlands holds the rotating presidency of the EU until June 30, 2016. During its EU Presidency, the Netherlands will lead the focus of the EU agenda on climate and energy policy, international security and migration, and innovation. For more about the Netherlands Presidency of the EU, visit http://english.eu2016.nl/
On Twitter, use #DutchWave to follow the event.
Members of the press who wish to cover the event should contacts Jacquelien Nienhuis, Royal Netherlands Embassy, 202-274-2606 or 202-262-0995, or Willemijn Kallenberg, Consulate of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Miami, 786-866-0483 or 786-200-5866.

There are two ways to explain why Bigfoot can't be found. There's the conventional view—that Bigfoot doesn't exist—and then there's what we might call the Donald Rumsfeld view: that the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. In this view, we haven't found Bigfoot because we haven't looked hard enough. Specifically, we haven't looked with drones.
This is the raison d'etre of the Falcon Project. It's a kind of supernatural missing persons mission, calling for "eyes in the sky" in combination with a "quick response investigative ground team." They would spend months at a time scanning undisclosed locations with high Bigfoot potential, hoping not only for irrefutable video, but to make contact. "You know, putting out a transmitter in a banana that can be passed through the gut and while it's internal serve as a tracking device," says principal investigator Jeff Meldrum. "Those kinds of things."
Those kinds of things. As outlandish as the plan sounds, it has the imprimatur of Idaho State University, which set up an account to receive tax-deductible donations. The reason why is Meldrum. He's the most reputable face not only of the Falcon Project, but of all Bigfoot belief. Meldrum is a tenured professor at ISU who teaches human anatomy and publishes papers on how (non-Bigfoot) primates walk. When I spoke with him, he was late because his students were busy cutting up cadavers. "We just did the abdominal wall and the inguinal canal," he said.
But a sizable hunk of Meldrum's CV falls under the category of "cryptozoology," where he applies his knowledge of primate gaits to footprints identified by amateur Sasquatch-ologists. This work is published not in Science or Nature, but places like his own journal of Bigfoot Studies, the Relict Hominoid Inquiry. "Some would label me as a crackpot, and [say] that I'm an embarrassment to the university," says Meldrum. But publicity is publicity. "ISU has in some ways been kind of put on the map as the only university that has a resident faculty member who is publishing on this subject," says Meldrum. "And that's noteworthy."
Of course, if finding Bigfoot were as simple as strapping a GoPro to a quadcopter and heading for the forest, Meldrum would have more than footprints. "When you're looking for a needle in a haystack, it's not like you're just flying over farmer John's pasture to count how many white-tailed deer are coming out every night and bedding down in his alfalfa," he says.
To catch an unlikely creature, you need an unlikely drone: quiet enough to escape notice, sturdy enough to carry NASA-grade cameras and long-range enough to sweep vast swaths of potential Sasqautch stomping ground. "The disadvantage of helicopters is obviously they're noisy," says Meldrum. "A fixed-wing aircraft has the disadvantage of not being able to hover."
Hence the proposed solution, the falcon of the Falcon Project: a 50-foot-wide double-blimp, catamaran-style airship, with a "proprietary" engine that can allegedly fly silently at speeds of 45 knots, stop on a dime and hover thousands of feet above the forest canopy. The maker is a Canadian company that makes blimps for outdoor marketing campaigns: R.A.T.S. Inc.. (It stands for Remote Aerial Tripod Specialists, but the company's logo also includes the glowing face of a rat.)
The other big piece of technology in the project (also proprietary) is the "high definition thermal imaging" camera, created by Infrared Cameras Incorporated. "To our knowledge no company has used a telephoto lens of this size with an uncooled 1024 x 768 camera for such a project other than possibly the U.S. Defense," avers the breathless description on the Falcon Project's defunct Kickstarter.
The fact that the Kickstarter page is defunct hints at the hurdle the project just can't seem to clear: Money.
The cost of the blimp is, according to Meldrum, between $220,000 and $260,000; the camera, another $60,000. Factor in a ground team, and odds and ends like a low-frequency "infrasound" system (in case the Bigfoot happens to communicate like whales) and the total price tag rises to upwards of $400,000 for the first year of operation. When Meldrum was brought onboard, he says the project's "owner and founder" William Barnes—who claims to have encountered Bigfoot in a pup tent in northern California while out dredging for gold—had private philanthropists lined up, but they seem to have gotten cold, normal-sized feet.
Given the shortage of foundations dedicated to finding unseen, potentially nonexistent apes, the Falcon Project has turned instead to Joe Sasquatch-hunter. "I expected a groundswell of support from the Bigfoot community," Meldrum says. But the Kickstarter campaign closed after 45 days with $11,865, at only 3% of its goal. Meldrum says a subsequent fundraiser in Portland, Oregon, this June barely broke even, when just a handful of people showed up. "That is not just a fluke, that's an entire community turning its back," says Meldrum.
It could be that the "Bigfoot community" has doubts about the technology (which Meldrum admits he has not seen in action) or are simply unwilling to put their money where their Bigfoot-believing mouths are. But Meldrum also cites "bad blood" from those who see Bigfoot not as an elusive animal, but something close to human. "They saw this process as intrusive, invasive of their privacy, as molesting or harassing the population," says Meldrum.
Despite its struggles, the Falcon Project is not yet dead. "We have ideas," says Meldrum. They could charge for a livestream of the Bigfoot blimp-cam. They could charge to see Meldrum's footprint collection in various Las Vegas casino lobbies. Or they could just sell T-shirts of the footprints. "They were hits down at Comic-Con," says Meldrum. "I guess there was quite a cryptozoology presence down there."

Poll: Comic Book Question of the Week VOTING: Treatment of Female Characters (428 votes)
The treatment of women in comics has come a long way. If you've read any Silver or Golden Age comics, you'll likely come across some scenes and dialogue that are pretty far out there and pretty wrong. While things have gotten a lot better and we are seeing more and more female readers enjoying mainstream comics, for ever two step forwards, the industry occasionally takes a step back.
This was something that was brought up on Twitter over the weekend (using the hashtag #ComicWomen). There are those that strongly feel some publishers are doing it right or simply doing it better. The question is, which publisher do you think is handling the portrayal of women the best. Try to consider all their characters.
The poll will remain open until Thursday morning (ET). Once the poll is locked, a new article will hit the homepage with the results and more. And, if you want to go the extra mile, go ahead and share with the community some "must read" stories for the character who earned your love. That'll allow other people to potentially check 'em out and see why you dig the character so much.

New Delhi, Aug 6: Kamla Beniwal, who had a strained relationship with Narendra Modi when he was the Gujarat chief minister, was Wednesday removed as Mizoram's governor, an official statement said.
Former union home secretary Vinod Kumar Duggal, who is the governor of Manipur, will hold the additional charge of Mizoram.
A Rashtrapati Bhavan statement said "the president has directed that Kamla shall cease to hold the office of the governor of Mizoram".
It said Duggal will discharge the functions of the governor of Mizoram, in addition to his own duties, until further orders.
The 87-year-old Beniwal was shifted to Mizoram July 6 by the Narendra Modi government.

L-arginine helps weight loss
Friday April 18, 2014 (foodconsumer.org) -- Taking a dietary supplement called L-arginine may help weight loss or can be used to treat central obesity, a pilot study published in Journal of Dietary Supplements suggests.
L-Arginine has been known earlier to benefit male reproduction and help reduce risk of complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus among other benefits.
Ryan T. Hurt, MD, PhD from Division of General Internal Medicine Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, USA and colleagues conducted the study.
Visceral adiposity or central obesity has been linked to higher rates of cardiometabolic risk than other types of obesity. Animal studies have already demonstrated L-arginine reduces visceral adiposity and fat mass. Reduced visceral adiposity is expected to decrease the cardiometabolic risk.
The study was to assess the efficacy of L-arginine supplementation for reducing central adiposity, body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and weight in 20 nondiabetic obese women ages 18 to 40 years who had a BMI between 30 and 40 (obesity) and waist circumstance (WC) that was greater than 89 cm.
For the study, participants were asked to take three grams of L-arginine each time three times a day for 12 weeks and in the meantime were counseled on lifestyle modification.
As a result, L-arginine supplementation led to a decrease in waist circumstance to 109 cm at 12 weeks of the study from 116 cm at baseline. WC is a good measure for central adiposity.
The 12-week L-arginine supplementation also induced an average loss of 6.5 pounds of weight and lowered BMI and WHR.
L-arginine was well tolerated and no side effects were observed.
The authors concluded "L-Arginine may be effective at reducing central adiposity in obese patients."
L-Arginine can also boost the production of semen according to early studies and it has been known to prevent renal dysfunction in people living with type 2 diabetes mellitus. L-arginine is a precursor to nitric oxide (NO), which dilates the blood vessels and help lower blood pressure.
L-Arginine is an amino acid commonly found in foods high in protein, particularly peanuts. L-arigine is available as a dietary supplement and can be purchased on the internet. (David Liu)

Awesome look and sound!!! Especially with V&H oval slip ons. Bike sounds and runs better. Runs at a cooler temp too. Easy to install. LOVE mine and have no complaints.
Great product fast shipping
Fit perfectly on 2011 Street Glide Trike!
Great job.
Sweet looking and a real nice upgrade.
The curve line without the joint is beautiful.
Great product
I love these head pipes. They cooled off the running temperature by at least 10-20 degrees. I am definitely more comfortable riding now. I also like the sound they produce. Not too loud that I can't hear the radio but a nice rumble with the V&H Monster Ovals. Awesome!!!
Love them. Only took a couple hours to yank the factory pipes off and have these back on. Look and sound great!
nice look and sound
Found product to be exactly what it should be and a quality product.I would buy this type of product again if needed.Job well done ,thanks
Thanks for good service!!
Excellent product V&H does it again sounds and looks like a million bucks! J&P fast shipping, easy shopping, and the best price on the market....Recommend Highly!!!
sounds good and gave me the power i expected
Good fit and look. Easy to install and enjoyed doing it myself.
Good fit and look sound great good tech support
Pipes sound awesome.
nice looking pipes
Great product, really woke up my mufflers and improved the performance of my 2011 Roadglide, I could not ask for more!
Very easy to install. Makes pipes much louder.
Looks and sounds great and always super great service from JP Cycles.
Great sound and runs cooler. I used master tune to get the settings close and then took the bike in for a dyno. Runs smooth and ideals with no variation. I am very happy with the speedy delivery and the price was better then the dealer would give me. I am a happy J&P Gold Club Member
Easily installed! They look and sound great. Extremely noticeable decrease in engine temp.
My 2013 street glide sound better.
Great Look! Sound pretty good. Decided to order a Vance & Hines Fuel pak hoping for more performance.
As always, the service at J&P was excellent and shipment was quick. I haven't installed these pipes yet, but will soon.
Sounds great. Easy install
It took me about four hours to install these, as I am no motorcycle mechanic. Some of the photos and instructional steps could've been clearer, but I managed to get the job done. I have these headers installed with Classic Turn-Downs and Screaming Eagle large intake and filter. A V&H fuel pack (with mapping numbers downloaded from V&H website) rounded out the project. If you can work an iPod, you can perform fuel mapping with the fuel pack. One of the heat shields had a chip in the chrome. I called J&P, who referred me to V&H. In the end, V&H is sending me a replacement heat shield. I'm extremely pleased with the service and set up on my 2013 Road King Classic!
This is what it takes to get your Glide running like it should! Fast delivery, easy installation. Of course I needed the fuelpak to dial in the fuel injection and that was so easy! I am no mechanic and I was riding within an hour and a half.
Looks great, sounds awesome with the monster round slipons.
was sent wrong part, sent back and right part was sent.Transaction was smooth, but I had to reschedule dyno tune. Pete
easy fit all hardware supplied except exhaust gaskets dont forget to order when purchasing awsome product
Great service, Great products and good prices. What more could you want? Very happy with JP Cycles.
Put these on my 14 street glide with tail gunner mufflers and a screaming eagle big breather air cleaner gained over 11 h.p. from stock. Plus it looks and sounds great.
fit perfect and easy install. excellent chrome work
Great product... Had some trouble with the first order, package was damaged. Called J&P and issue was resolved and a new set of duals was sent. Very happy how quick they resolved the issue
Beautiful looking pipes! Not installed yet but I am eagerly waiting for spring. All materials came in the box and in great condition! Really helpful customer service over the phone to a customer all the way up in Canada
Great fit and finish. Cannot believe how much better my 2014 SG sounds matched up with the twin slash cut rounds. Much better performance too.
They Look and sound great! I had these installed in the shop, thought it was worth the $150. Having all the right tools make a big difference.
These pipes are awesome great sound and looks. Easy to install. Used Fuel Pak FP3 to flash computer. Added these with the high flow breather and the RCX mufflers that I had installed previously and these made a big difference in sound and power.
Look Great, were very easy to install. Total time to remove old exhaust and install new system, and V&H Fuelpak 1 hour!
easy install and great performance and sound
Just as promised the directions could of been a little clearer but still only took a couple of hours to take the old off and get the new on. Sound is hugely different even while still using stock mufflers.
Looks good and went on easy.
These pipes are awesome. Did have a bur that had to be sanded off in order to get muffler to fully seat but not a big deal. Would definitely recommend!
EZ install, was completely done in less than 2 hrs. That's factory system off, V&H on!
Enormous heat reduction on right leg compared to factory headpipes with cat
Fit is good. Engine runs cooler temp than stock header with CAT removed. Mufflers sound 100% better. Bike runs better, but needed to tweek the PCV. Thought I could run the stock header with the CAT removed, but results weren't there.
Fantastic headers. I put these on with the twin slash rounds and the Screamin Eagle Stage Three air intake, and the Fulepak 3. What a world of difference in sound, heat, and performance. Best part was it was easy to do, follow the directions and you feel like a mechanic! Totally satisfied and when I go on rides, my bike has the sound that everyone else is looking for now!
Wow! what a difference. My left leg is no longer roasted while I ride, and the performance boost is great.
Vance and Hines sounds great.. I purchased another pair for my 09 FLHR

Fixed some controversial issues[edit]
I fixed some of the issues that seemed to be the talk of some individuals. Some of the statements have citations added, and I removed some of the otherwise biased opinions that were plaguing this article. As for more information on him, my forte isn't adding/researching things but I'll add some things to the article. Most of the bias has been removed but I left some of the things in
(such as the views and accomplishments because they are correctly cited) because I saw no reason for it to be removed.
I will delete the notification at the top because I feel that it affects the general feeling of credibility of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truthteller5482 (talk • contribs) 19:19, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
John Liu's controversial anti-pedestrian and anti-bicyclist views[edit]
From 2013: http://www.streetsblog.org/2013/04/16/john-liu-cyclists-need-helmets-but-not-bike-lanes/ From 2012: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/23/nyregion/liu-warns-of-lawsuits-with-citys-bike-share-program.html From 2009: http://www.streetsblog.org/2009/06/30/john-liu-stalls-bicycle-access-bill-in-committee/
I'm probably not the best one to edit the article since I have a strong POV, but this seems an important topic when he's running for major in a city where there are more non-drivers than drivers! Even those of us with cars mostly just drive on the weekends anyway and consider ourselves pedestrians first. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 02:16, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
This article needs a lot of work[edit]
I added section heads, removed a great deal of non-encyclopedic, POV material, and tightened the writing. But the article is in dire need of citations as well as expansion if it is to be deemed notable enough to remain here. I don't have any other information about this person, so I got the ball rolling and hope that someone who has edited here will pick it up and turn this into more of an article. At present, it is a stub, and a fairly weak one at that. Good luck with it. Tvoz 08:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Propose move[edit]
To John C. Liu. It is unclear whether the councilman is the same person as John C. Liu of Firstrade. If not, disambig at John Liu must fork to Firstrade too. --Raijinili 00:48, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
particularly for asian[edit]
i dont like how this article says he is doing anything particularly for asians because when you fight discrimination, that helps all minorities, not just asians. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 22:20, 15 May 2007 (UTC).
Binghamton University Cleanup[edit]
I have changed "a part of the SUNY publicly-funded education system" to "a part of the SUNY system"
Binghamton University is a public institution but is funded both publicly and privately. The previous verbiage is otherwise awkward. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 19:44, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
I nominated this section of the article for a neutrality check for the following reasons:
- The overall tone of this particular section is not in sync with the overall tone of the article.
- The citation is to the Epoch Times, which is owned by the Falun Gong Practitioners. The problem with it is that they are the source that are most likely to blow up the situation.
- The Epoch Times has a history of mudslinging this politician. http://en.epochtimes.com/news/8-7-7/73063.html
- The violence has stopped, while the article claims that it has continued "unabated".
- The Epoch Times fails to mention that the violence was incited from a sign they put up that said that it was "good" that the Sichuan Earthquake killed so many because it was the CCP's fault they persecuted Falun Gong "and the Chinese People".
- Not taking the above reason into consideration, they also held up alot of traffic by blocking buses, which might take into consideration why people were not happy to see them.
- Lastly, I've googled everywhere but I can't seem to find any other source about this. I've searched the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, etc. The only place where I can find this is the Epoch Times and a clip from a News Station called NDT, which is also owned by Falun Gong. If these incidents were as bad as the section of this entry suggest, there should by many, many more organizations reporting on this other than the newspaper and television station that are owned by Falun Gong. We need more sources, preferably from sources that can be trusted for their integrity, not newspapers that have a history non-neutrality.
I don't hate Falun Gong, I have no problem with it,and I'm not some CCP party official, or sympathetic to the CCP, or a John Liu official, but I think Falun Gong's reaction is being blown way out of proportion. Probably nothing will happen to this, because there are alot of Falun Gong practitioners on Wikipedia. Oh well, at least I tried. Henry1469 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 03:31, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Questionable Source[edit]
I would like to concur with Henry1469's comment on the neutrality of the source. The Epoch Times article does seem very one-sided and seems to make allegations and claims that have not been reported by other sources or any newspapers of record such as the New York Times or local papers such as the Daily News or the New York Post. The source cited in the Wikipedia entry also makes no mention of John Liu.
The Epoch Times are run by the same pro-Falun-Gong protesters who claimed that the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake was God's will; it was this claim that sparked the violence referred to by this section.220.127.116.11 (talk)
Actually, this information is mistaken. Falun Gong practitioners had been holding up banners "Heaven will eliminate the Chinese Communist Party" in NY even before the earthquake, to promote the movement to withdraw from the Communist Party. After the earthquake, Chinese media reported (falsely) that the banners referred to the earthquake. Then, Chinese organizers living in New York started organizing people to attack the practitioners. Some of the organizers were subsequently convicted of assault. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs) 2009-09-26T03:53:36
Moved from Taiwan to New York[edit]
Did his family move here legally or illegally? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs) 2009-03-09T00:12:35
Propose move[edit]
I added the Epoch Times controversy because it did occur; there was a controversy with the Epoch Times. I also reverted the changes with the Waldheim rezoning matter. It seemed well-sourced and was removed summarily. I updated the controller race. Darkmeridian (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:37, 9 July 2009 (UTC).
Cleaning Bot[edit]
Someone keeps removing sections that are well-sourced and important because they are not positive to John Liu. The controversy about his childhood during the controller race is important, and well-sourced. Don't remove it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs) 2009-09-18T17:48:27
I disagree, the writing was very POV. The two sources came from a respected newspaper, however, if anyone research this topic, you will see that the same writer, Erin Einhorn, at the Daily News has been writing the same article day after day. Especially after the paper's endorsement to John Liu's opponent, the section itself becomes obviously POV and needs reworking. It should be removed until a better section is written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 16:16, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
Sweat Shop Controversy[edit]
A big issue in the Comptroller campaign arose after Liu claimed to have worked in a sweat shop as a child. He parents denied this claim. Should this be added in? There are major papers which wrote about it. Rafe34 (talk) 20:47, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Restoring balance[edit]
I just did some work on the 'controversies' section, which were astonishingly thin and poorly sourced (they didn't even include the NYT series of articles from the fall). The campaign finance controversies are extremely notable, and I think deserve as much space as they are given. In fact, they might merit a separate article, as they implicate two other individuals, and I don't like having too much of that kind of stuff in BLP. However, now the article is somewhat unbalanced. I will try to revisit it when I have time and add more (relevant, notable) details elsewhere to the page. I would also encourage others to do so.Homunculus (duihua) 19:50, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
Also, there's this[1].Homunculus (duihua) 20:11, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
Recent edits.[edit]
This alarming series of edits by User:Homunculus seriously violates some fundamental policies of this encyclopedia. Namely, in decreasing importance, WP:BLP, WP:ATTACK, WP:NPOV, and WP:UNDUE (and by extension WP:SYNTHESIS). Sources which are placed out of context and/or skewed to paint a thoroughly anti-Liu article is striking. As such, I would like to seek a third-party opinion on reverting all of Homunculus' revisions to this page in the past few days. Colipon+(Talk) 17:50, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Colipon. Please see the discussion topic I started above, where I explicitly address my own concern that my edits may lead to undue weight being given to controversies. I said that I would remedy this by either building out other parts of the page, and/or creating a separate article to deal with allegations related to Liu's campaign staffers. I also invited other editors to partake in this effort. I will note, however, that the controversies around Liu have come to define his tenure over the last six months or so, and are extremely notable (do a google news search for his name, and tell me if you disagree). If you believe that I misrepresented the sources (almost all New York Times), I'm happy to review the sources with greater scrutiny. I do not believe that I misrepresented sources, however, nor do I think that I engaged in original synthesis; I was careful with all the content i added to adhere to strict interpretations of the articles' content. I also corrected false information (eg. previous page said Liu was charged with fraud. He was not). If you were to revert, you would restore a version of the page that misrepresented the sources of contentious claims, made unsupported accusations about Liu, and contained almost no information on the campaign finance investigations that have become the defining feature of Liu's political career, and about which hundreds of RS articles have been written. Homunculus (duihua) 18:05, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
- Your statement that "campaign finance investigations... have become the defining feature of Liu's political career" is an extraordinary statement that needs extraordinary sources — BLP policy also applies to talk pages. Also, I would not tout your ability to self-police, considering that the person you asked to help 'balance' your massive controversy expansion was responsible for adding only negative information to this article, including claims that Liu was a Fifth Column sourced to shoddy web sources like Renminbao, and for including the "source misrepresentation" and "unsupported accusations" that you complain about. Keeping or rejecting all of your edits is a false choice: we can keep your simple corrections, examine the amount of unfruitful allegations covered, and quarantine the excessive and venomous newspaper judgments of the man. Shrigley (talk) 21:14, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
- I solicited Benjwong's help to balance the article because, among frequent contributors to the page, he is the only editor still active on it. I didn't delve into his editing history. Try not to read insidious intent into everything. As for extraordinary claims, I don't think my statement on the notability of campaign finance problems satisfied the definition for an extraordinary claim about a living person. Nonetheless, I believe that extraordinary sources (and an extraordinary volume of sources) would support my interpretation of the notability of the campaign finance scandal. Here's a google search with parameters set to the last five months.[2] Nearly every single result addresses the scandal to some degree or other; it features prominently in most coverage. Would you not agree that the scandal has come to define Liu's career over the last several months? Does my writing that—on the talk page, no less—really merit warnings of BLP violations? Homunculus (duihua) 21:42, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
Civic Accomplishments Section reads like a campaign advertisement[edit]
The section on Civic Accomplishments reads like a campaign advertisement. All sources for accomplishments are the comptroller's website during the period that John Liu was comptroller. I actually have no idea if he did accomplish those things, but there is a strong perception of bias in that section.126.96.36.199 (talk) 07:24, 12 August 2013 (UTC)George

'Mr. Clean' Takes on the Garbage Mess
By BARNABY J. FEDER
Published: March 11, 1990
HOUSTON— As the first director of the Environmental Protection Agency in the early 1970's, William D. Ruckelshaus won praise for standing up to industry on a range of pollution issues. In 1983, he returned to the E.P.A. and restored public trust in the agency, which had become mired in corruption under Anne Gorsuch Burford. For his achievements, the media crowned him ''Mr. Clean.''
So when Mr. Ruckelshaus agreed to become chief executive of Browning-Ferris Industries Inc. in October 1988, the waste handler regarded it as something of a coup. In fact, the entire waste disposal industry welcomed Mr. Ruckelshaus as a major asset in its efforts to live down its shady past and cope with the growing opposition to new dumps.
''We have a number of executives who speak about the problems, but when Bill Ruckelshaus speaks on environmental issues, there's a wider group of people willing to listen,'' said Harold Gershowitz, senior vice president at Waste Management Inc. in Oak Brook, Ill., the industry leader. ''The fact that he is involved full time in this industry has got to be viewed as a very positive development.''
Yet whether anyone, even Mr. Ruckelshaus, can solve the garbage industry's image problems singlehandedly is improbable. Waste handlers have provided skeptics with every conceivable reason to distrust them, including technological fiascos, bid rigging and other antitrust violations, mismanagement and links to organized crime. ''Every time a company in the industry gets in trouble, it hurts all of us,'' admitted Mr. Ruckelshaus, a lanky, 57-year-old who was born in Indiana.
Browning-Ferris itself is not beyond reproach. With more than two decades of uninterrupted growth, healthy profits and a steadily climbing stock price, the nation's second-largest waste handler is adored on Wall Street. But the company has a less than spotless regulatory and legal record. It has spent millions of dollars to pay fines and to shut down troubled operations and has earned a reputation for arrogance in its dealings with state and Federal regulators.
Since taking over at Browning-Ferris, Mr. Ruckelshaus has implored his troops not just to play by the rules, but also to cooperate with regulators, and even work at being model citizens. And he has been trying to push those changes without disturbing the company's highly decentralized structure. In the company's modern headquarters complex, rising high above the suburban plains of West Houston, executives fervently preach the virtues of letting regional and local managers run their operations almost like independent businesses, which most were before being acquired by Browning-Ferris. Decentralization, they say, is the key to growth.
The trouble is that misdeeds by local managers account for the bulk of the company's problems. And without stronger corporate controls, critics doubt that change will ever occur. In fact, some of them view Mr. Ruckelshaus's appointment as little more than a public relations ploy. ''It's taking a nasty, tawdry mess and putting a nice wrapper on it,'' said Will Collett of Citizens Clearinghouse on Hazardous Waste in Arlington, Va., which coordinates citizen campaigns against waste disposal sites.
Regulators are also skeptical. ''The jury is still out about whether this is a new, improved B.F.I.,'' said Richard Sahli, acting assistant director of the E.P.A. in Ohio, which has cited many of the company's disposal sites for violations.
For waste disposal companies, good relations with regulators have become indispensable. Laws are stricter, penalties for violations are stiffer and opposition to nearly all forms of waste disposal is escalating.
The Gold Mine
The waste disposal market is a barely tapped gold mine. Tighter laws are making it harder for factories, households and businesses to handle their own pollutants. And large companies like Browning-Ferris have grown rapidly as municipalities, lacking the resources to invest in new technology or take on the public, have been forced to sell or close old sites (see box).
But without the support of regulators, even those large companies may be unable to grab a larger portion of the $80 billion spent annually to deal with waste. Citizens' groups have become steadily more adept at marshaling their outrage against companies looking to put waste processing and disposal plants in their neighborhoods. Already, Browning-Ferris says, it typically petitions for ten landfills to get approval to open or extend even one. ''The problem with waste,'' Mr. Ruckelshaus said, ''is that everyone wants you to pick it up and no one wants you to put it down.''
To counter the Nimby (not in my backyard) phenomenon, the Government may ultimately have to intervene in the siting process to replace at least some of the 2,000-plus of the nation's 6,500 solid waste pits that it expects will be closed over the next five years. But intervention is bound to be accompanied by even tighter regulations, giving companies with the best regulatory rapport an advantage. And in that department, Waste Management tops Browning-Ferris.
