Freshman's first weekly award
MACON, Ga. (Feb. 6, 2013) – ETSU women's tennis freshman Lyn Yee Choo (Kuching, Malaysia) earned her first collegiate singles and doubles dual victories over the weekend against MTSU and was rewarded for her performances on Wednesday when the Atlantic Sun Conference named her its Women's Tennis Player of the Week.
ETSU played its season opener on Sunday at the Nashboro Village Athletic Club, defeating the Blue Raiders, 4-1. Choo was a key to the Lady Bucs' success, first teaming with fellow freshman Anna Gerbasi (Caracas, Venezuela) to win at No. 1 doubles, 8-6. In singles competition, Choo put ETSU up 2-1 with a straight-set defeat of Carla Nava, 6-4, 6-1 in the No. 4 match. Senior Antonia Kolovou (Larisa, Greece) and junior Giulia Andreazza (Balneario Camboriu, Brazil) went on to clinch the win.
On the 2012-13 campaign, Choo is 14-6 overall in singles with a 1-0 dual record. Alongside Gerbasi in doubles, the Ohio Valley Region's eighth-ranked duo is 11-6 overall and 1-0 on the dual season.
Choo had a fantastic fall with her doubles partner, advancing to the USTA/ITA Ohio Valley Regional Doubles Championship semifinals in October. At the Dick Vitale Clay Court Classic in November, Choo and Gerbasi upset the then-14th-ranked doubles team in the country, Oklahoma State's Malika Rose and Kanyapat Narattana, 8-6.
The Lady Buc tennis team competes again next Tuesday, Feb. 12, in Lynchburg, Va., against Liberty.

Justin Bieber strips off at Polish airport
The teenage pop star recently wrapped up a troubled U.K. tour which ended in a hospitalisation and a brawl with a photographer, and he has now hit headlines again for staging a bizarre stunt in Poland following a gig there on his Believe tour.
Bieber performed in the city of Lodz on Monday, and afterwards he headed straight to the regional airport, where he was photographed getting out of his car in temperatures of around minus 10 degrees Celsius (minus 14 degrees Fahrenheit) wearing nothing but a pair of white boxer shorts, and trousers slung around his thighs.
The Baby hitmaker stayed semi-naked as he walked through the airport, attracting stares as he made his way through security checks without a shirt on before boarding a private jet.
A spokeswoman for Lodz Airport has insisted the star stripped down of his own accord and was not ordered to undress by security staff, telling Reuters, "He wasn't told to take off his clothes. He had no metal objects on him. He's quite skinny so I assume he was probably freezing."
Bieber pulled a previous stunt on his recent trip to London where he was photographed wandering about the city shirtless.
The tour will continue in Munich, Germany, on 28 March (13).

Leprosy and Lou: Fact-Checking Lou Dobbs - VIDEO
60 Minutes
May 6, 2007
Guest: Lou Dobbs
Following a report on illegal immigrants carrying diseases into the U.S., one of the correspondents on his show, Christine Romans, told Dobbs that there have been 7,000 cases of leprosy in the U.S. in the past three years. 60 Minutes checked that and found a report issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, saying that 7,000 is the number of leprosy cases over the last 30 years, not the past three. The report also says that nobody knows how many of those cases involve illegal immigrants.It turns out that someone did make up those numbers. Even after Dobbs was informed that his information was contradicted by the federal government, he repeated the false information the day after on his show:
"We went to try and check that number, 7,000. We can't…," Stahl says.
"Well, I can tell you this. If we reported it, it's a fact," Dobbs replies.
"You can't tell me that. You did report it," Stahl says.
"I just did," Dobbs says.
"How can you guarantee that to me?" Stahl asks.
Says Dobbs, "Because I'm the managing editor. And that's the way we do business. We don't make up numbers, Lesley, do we?"1
DOBBS: And there was a question about some of your comments, Christine. Following one of your reports, I told Leslie Stahl, we don't make up numbers, and I will tell everybody here again tonight, I stand 100 percent behind what you said.2
ROMANS: That's right, Lou. We don't make up numbers here. This is what we reported.Want to know the Truth?
The report issued by Department of Health and Human Services is correct.3 There were, in fact, 7,000 total number of cases of leprosy over the past 30 years, and as Dobbs himself has admitted, "no one knows"4 how many can be attributed to undocumented immigrants.
Dobbs's correspondent took the figure from an article written by medieval expert Madeleine Cosman in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons,5 a publication that has been described by some as a "right-wing" 6 and "untrustworthy"7 periodical.
On the December 4, 2007 edition of Democracy Now!, journalists Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez brought up the case of (by then deceased) Madeleine Cosman to Lou Dobbs. In response, Dobbs claimed that a New York Times obituary found her to be a credible source on immigration:
DOBBS: Did you read that obituary? Did you find that the New York Times had come to basically the same conclusion we had, that she was a credible source? Because if you read that obituary, it is glowing and filled with plaudits for Madeleine Cosman.8The Truth: The New York Times never called her a "credible source." In fact, the headline description in her obituary is "Madeleine P. Cosman, 68, Medieval Expert, Dies." They never call her a "respected medical lawyer and medical historian," as Dobb's correspondent had, only a day after the 60 Minutes report exposed their lies.9 The obituary did note that Cosman's article was "widely reproduced on anti-immigration and other conservative Web sites."10 Is that what you meant by "plaudits", Lou?
And exactly who was Madeleine Cosman? Here's a presentation she made about Mexican men:
COSMAN: Recognize that most of these bastards molest girls under age 12, some as young as age 5, others aged 3, although, of course, some specialize in boys, some specialize in nuns, some are exceedingly versatile and rape little girls aged 11 and women up to age 79.11Unjustified lies. Unreliable, racist sources. All brought to you by the "most trusted name in news."

The Mission Theatre is best known for high quality community theatre productions. It was built in 1946, as a movie theater. In the late 1980's, the local community theatre group began the theatres transformation to be used as a live theatre playhouse. It was purchased in 1993, by the Hornsveld family, who quickly restored it to it's 1940 art deco glory.
The Mission Theatre is now the resident theatre to CAST Productions a 501C3 non-profit performing arts school for children of all ages. CAST also produces several performances each year with adult actors.
The Mission Theatre is a charming venue, designed in the grand tradition of the old movie house. The lobby and interior of the venue has been wonderfully preserved by the venue staff, and the stage is designed to allow great sight lines from any seat in the house.
With a quaint charm and a small town feel, the Mission Theatre is a fabulous place to see local and regional performers in action. Visit the concession stand in the lobby for an authentic movie house experience.

Colorful Coastal Home
A designer unleashes her love of color in her family's summer home
Slide 1 Of Colorful Coastal Home
The Palm Beach vacation home that interior designer Robin Weiss shares with her husband, Bill, might be pink, but sissy it's not. The Bermuda-style exterior is bathed with a barely-there pastel of the girly hue. Inside, however, Robin concocted a decorative scheme that mimics the kind of tropical drink you might order at a swim-up bar—one charged with a high level of intensity not often replicated at home.
After all, the house—built and designed by Florida architect William Wietsma—is not the primary Weiss residence. Originally from Long Island, the couple headed west in 1976 when Bill's job required moving his family to Wyoming. Becoming accustomed to scenic mountain views and long winters, Robin (who continues to operate a design business in Jackson Hole) veered toward warm, subdued colors and antique textures as a backdrop with Western flair. But once the Weisses decided to live part-time in Florida, she pulled out bold, bright tones for their vacation home and never looked back.
"I asked myself if I could get away with a palette that was so bright," Robin explains. "I felt the rooms carried enough stature and grace to balance such drama. Each room was open on one side, so you were never bombarded by the color on all four walls."
The vibrant look begins in the living room. Robin splashed the room with vivid color, but the bones of the structure and appointments of furniture are quite traditional. Classic moldings, windows, and a fireplace were painted white as a contrast to the mottled, hot pink finish on the walls. A sofa and a pair of club chairs upholstered in an orange-and-pink toile fabric were brought from the Palm Beach townhouse where the Weisses lived before their new home was built. A lattice-patterned ottoman placed between the two club chairs adds to the spirit of the space. To avoid having everything match, a white camelback sofa in front of the center French doors and a lacquered Asian-style coffee table lighten and diversify the room.
Traditional sensibilities pervade the dining room, too. A round bamboo table stained dark anchors the room under a gold-leafed crystal chandelier.
"I bought the chairs for my daughter, who lives in New York. But she no longer had room for them in her apartment," Robin says, "so I sent them to Palm Beach. Then I combed the area to find additional ones until I had a set."
The den tempers the shocking pink palette of the living and dining rooms but offers its own colorful statement with bright accents enlivening a neutral background of brown. Primarily used by Bill as an office, the room is handsomely attired. Enclosed by wood-paneled walls, the sofa and comfortable armchairs are covered in gray cotton fabric with rich red accents that imitate the color ratio of a quiet suit with a bright pocket square. To increase the room's tropical feel—established by the botanical print that upholsters the furniture—ferns adorn a pair of black lamps, the sisal rug, and artwork.
In the breakfast room, where the kitchen's green marble countertops inspired the green checks on cushions, toss pillows, and shades, a banquette on one side of the glass-and-iron table promotes easy traffic flow. The soft green of the tray ceiling adds a soothing ambience.
Femininity reigns in the master bedroom because Robin found a fabric that incorporated pink without being "too much" for her husband. The cotton-linen material features large graphic flowers instead of daintier versions that would have been too small for the scale of the room. To create cohesiveness, she upholstered all of the furniture pieces and the window panels in the same overscaled pattern.
Now that the house glows with colorful pizzazz, Robin doesn't second-guess her bold choices. "I wouldn't be able to get away with using bright pink in Jackson Hole," says Robin. "This house allowed me to do whatever my imagination told me to. Florida homes are fun, bright, and cheerful. There is a certain freedom and a different protocol with a second home. I took advantage of it!"

Do you want to survive and be able to experience expansion while everybody else believes this is the worst economic crisis ever – and is set to last for the rest of their life? If your answer is yes, then follow these 3 steps:
IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY, YOU HAVE NO REASON FOR WORRY! The current economic crisis is just a repetition of the past. Don't you remember "Black Monday"? It refers to Monday, October 19, 1987, when stock markets around the world crashed. The Black Monday decline was the largest one-day percentage decline in stock market history. But all world stock markets rallied in less than 1.5 year.
Moving forward, you may recall the 1991-1992 world crisis right after the Gulf War: huge peaks in oil prices, a steep decline in the commercial real estate market and a credit crisis (following the infamous savings and loan collapses of the late 1980s).

Researchers have successfully developed an optoelectronic camouflage system that was inspired by the skin of cephalopods (octopuses, squid and cuttlefish). This new technology allows a material to automatically read its environment and adapt to mimic its surroundings.
This is different than other technology, Dr. Cunjiang Yu, lead author and assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Houston, explained in a news release. Unlike previous camouflage systems which couldnt automatically adapt, our device sees color and matches it. It reads the environment using thermochromatic material.
The prototype is less than one-inch square and works in black and white, with shades of gray, but it could easily be scaled up in size and could eventually span the full color spectrum. Defense and industry are the most valuable applications for this technology, but Dr. Yu explained that the possible market ranges from toys and wearable electronics to disappearing cars.

Our View: The Fourth of July
It always seems a little bit weird to be thinking about the Fourth of July in February, but that's the way it goes.
Contracts must be signed. Agreements must be signed. There has to be a plan.
Mammoth is far behind this year. It doesn't mean we won't have fireworks at the iconic Crowley Lake festival. It doesn't mean we won't have the parade in town, as usual.
But the fact is, what we don't have is enough money.
The council took up the recommendations by the Recreation Commission last week and indicated we will spend up to $29,000 for the fireworks.
Back in the glorious past, Mammoth spent up to $37,000 for the show. This year? We have a budget for $31,893, but we'd have to scrap Pops in the Park—which has become very popular lately.
The town's do-gooders (no insult intended) are doing everything they can to put on a great show at Crowley Lake. It's where all the picnics, family fun and good times take place.
We're going to have to get creative about it.
The Town Council brought the Rec Commission proposals, more or less.
Taking into account a 10 percent budget reduction across the board, that works out to be $11,350 in savings.
Mammoth is not in a current position to fund the Fourth of July and Pops in the Parks.
The proposed ideas to reduce expenses include a re-negotiation with fireworks vendor.
Another idea includes negotiating with Crowley Lake Fish Camp for a higher return from gate fees.
Maybe we go can hat in hand to local business for a little help from our friends.
We can charge people outside the gate to help fund the show.
We have an idea that will probably rub people the wrong way. We know this.
But just for fun, consider Bridgeport.
They've always had it going on. They've been celebrating the Fourth of July with style since 1863. Festivities up there commence a few days before July 4 and include an arts and crafts fair, a softball tournament, a kids' fun attractions and activities event, a turkey shoot, a horseshoe tournament, a rodeo, a five-mile run, a parade down Main Street, lots of good food, and of course, a pretty intensive fireworks display.
We're just saying…
There are many options floating around town.
We hope we find one that works that makes financial sense.

Month-long field study
Book: The New Path: Ruskin and the American Pre-Raphaelites

How can one make a study like this, when the whole image is constantly changing? I mean, even if you are working fast and all over the canvas, light changes and you don't have the same data when you go for a second pass. I am wondering about the same thing with sketches artists do in courtrooms. No one is still! I go around with a small sketchbook trying to do some fast roughs but people more around so much that I can't get their faces down, so I go for inanimate objects instead. What's the key to this sort of stuff?
- February 29, 2012 at 8:12 AM
- Cindy Skillman said...
Work fast; choose a pose you think they'll repeat from time to time. Choose someone a reasonable distance away. Don't let them see you're sketching them (unless they're pretty!)Don't worry too much about a likeness or even accuracy at first. And most of all, remember you're practicing and will get better.
Outside, principally sketch in the lights and shadows first.
- February 29, 2012 at 9:20 AM
- Frankie said...
Since you can't chase shadow patterns even in a quick plein air, I'm sure he took liberties in making up some of the lighting. I wonder if he also took liberties with the composition as a whole.
- February 29, 2012 at 1:21 PM
- Terry said...
I admire plein air artists but like you said light changes so fast it can drive one crazy. Probably best way to work avoid such headaches is to work small and on overcast days when the light is more ambient. Personally I'd rather work from a series of photos.
I'm just getting back into painting again so that may change as my speed increases and skill improves.
BTW - Jim great to find you blog. Love your art! From and old GPer
- February 29, 2012 at 4:50 PM
- Ian Williamson said...
Michael, I think Cindy is right. Choose a moment. Identify where the shadows fall initially at that fixed point in time. Make an initial decision about the value range - so you know how dark your darkest darks are/lightest lights and stick to it although the light and intensity of values then goes on to shift minute by minute. Establish the value range early. That's my view. Ian
- March 1, 2012 at 8:35 AM
Painting outdoors on a sunny day, there's a window of about two hours when the light stays relatively the same. You can get away with three hours if you're careful. If you want to stay outdoors painting all day bring several canvases and switch to a different canvas every couple of hours or so. You can take these same canvases outside with you day after day to finish painting them. I imagine that's what the artist did.
- March 1, 2012 at 10:11 AM
- Kessie said...
Well, he did say that it occupied him "every afternoon". I imagine he only painted a few hours every day while the light was the same.
- March 1, 2012 at 11:27 AM
- Tom Hart said...
It took me a few days to realize why I'm not more impressed with this painting. It's completely flat, no sense of depth. Sections, taken individually (such as in the detail selection) are good enough, but taken as a whole the painting communicates no impression that the background recedes.

Excerpted from "Why Rush?", Stroke Connection January/February 2009 (Science update October 2012)
Even though the American Stroke Association and all healthcare providers emphasize that stroke is a medical emergency, Stroke Connection Magazine occasionally hears concerns like the following from one of its readers:
I question the urgency of getting to the emergency room spoken of in most articles about stroke. In the case of my husband Jim, the emergency room showed no concern when he arrived with stroke symptoms. He was examined, blood was taken and he was admitted to the hospital. However, the stroke itself was not treated that evening, nor for most of the next day! By the second day in the hospital, after scans and blood work, he was put on medication. He spent five days in the hospital, came home with meds and had physical therapy for a few weeks. About a year later, he had a second slight stroke in the middle of the night. He woke me and said his leg seemed paralyzed again, and I could see his mouth was affected. We raced to the hospital in a rainstorm. Once again he was tested, and it was ascertained he had had a second stroke, but again no meds or measures were taken in the emergency room. At the end of the second day, he was put on additional meds, and we connected with a fine neurologist.
He has had several tiny strokes, probably not even severe enough to be labeled TIAs. When we questioned the doctors about the "miracle" shot that could stop a stroke from getting worse, we were told that was almost never administered because if it is a bleeding stroke instead of a blockage one, the drug would prove fatal. We have never been given a definitive answer about why it is so important to get the person to an emergency room when no treatment is given when you get there! We are hoping you can address this.
Barbara Thompson, grateful wife of survivor Jim Thompson
Wildwood, Missouri
First and foremost, the reason to dial 9-1-1 if a person suspected of having a stroke is this — time lost is brain lost!However, given her experience at her local hospital, it is easy to see why Mrs. Thompson would question the urgency if the hospital is not going to respond quickly. When it comes to the treatment of acute stroke, all hospitals are not created equal. That is why the American Stroke Association has joined forces with the Brain Attack Coalition to create the Primary Stroke Center Certification Program, which is implemented by The Joint Commission (TJC). This commission evaluates stroke care provided by hospitals. Hospitals that follow the "Recommendations for Primary Stroke Centers" (published by the Brain Attack Coalition and the American Stroke Association) are certified as primary stroke centers.
Primary stroke centers take stroke seriously and know how to treat it. They are adept at using tPA, the clot-busting "miracle" drug that Mrs. Thompson asked about in eligible patients. It is important to remember that this drug can only be used within three hours of the onset of symptoms, making it extremely important to note the time that the first signs of stroke occurred. For this treatment to be considered, there must be enough time to determine — through an imaging test like a CT scan or an MRI — whether the stroke is ischemic (caused by a clot) or hemorrhagic (caused by a bleed). Often tPA is not administered because patients do not get to the hospital within this crucial three-hour treatment window or are not eligible to receive TPA (example: persons with an intracerebral hemorrhage). This is yet another reason to rush to the hospital when stroke symptoms are observed.
There is generally at least one primary stroke center in each major metropolitan area in the United States. It is very important for stroke families to know where these centers are and to get their loved one to that facility, even if it is not the closest hospital to them. Research indicates that patients have better outcomes when treated at a primary stroke center even when tPA is not an option. Find the primary stroke center nearest you.
There is yet another factor for stroke families to consider in getting treatment: Recent research indicates that stroke patients who arrive at the emergency room in an ambulance are twice as likely to receive a CT scan as those who "walk" in.
And finally, when speaking to 9-1-1, say "I think this is a stroke" even if there is only one symptom, and even if the symptoms have gone away.

Manchester's Texas overrun balloons, lawsuit ensues
Austin project was "stepchild" to Chargers stadium, complaint says
Matt Potter 3:39 p.m., Dec. 18
In 1953 Judy Garland made a splendid appearance at the opening reception for the Kentucky Derby. She was wearing a navy-blue, full-length coat; navy-blue, calfskin opera pumps with very high heels; white china beads; and she was carrying, cradled in her arms, a copy of Oakley Hall's recently published and somewhat scandalous novel Corpus of Joe Bailey. In an interview this August, Hall remembered what happened when the book came out. "I was feted," he said. "I had some brief fame."
In San Diego, Corpus of Joe Bailey also made a noteworthy entrance. The book was denounced from San Diego pulpits for being too sexy and provoked Mission Hills residents to speculate who among them was the model for the haughty Con Robinson, the political Uncle Dick, and the tormented hero, Joe Bailey. At the same time, the San Diego Union, in April 1953, hailed the book as a "long, credible" novel "bursting with vitality and immensely readable." The reviewer added, "For many people Joe Bailey will be recognizable as a guy like one they have known. He belongs to the shocked rather than the lost generation -- the kids who grew up in the '30s through the depression which couldn't happen, and got dumped into a war which shouldn't have come."
The book continues to fascinate San Diegans. On November 22, 1996, the San Diego Historical Society honored Hall with its first San Diego Author's Award. During his visit here to receive the honor, a group from the historical society took Hall around in a van to identify the locations of memorable scenes from Corpus of Joe Bailey. As the Union-Tribune noted the day before the ceremony, the first question of Hall is sure to be "Are you Joe Bailey?"
Corpus of Joe Bailey both belongs to its time and stands over it; the book has one foot planted in the past, in the fertile garden of hardy American fiction, the other hesitantly canting toward the solipsistic plaints of today. Hall dramatized the frustrating, often absurd conundrums that young people found around every corner during the '50s. Here are the incomprehensible codes of class -- place of birth, school attended, car driven, jacket worn, fraternity joined -- that dictated whether you were in or whether you were out and that excited novelists like F. Scott Fitzgerald and John O'Hara. Here as well are the restrictions that came with obedience to one's family and to sexual decorum, the restraints that confused so many young people as they lurched toward the realization that they would be either winners or losers in a new era. In his introduction to the 1984 reissue of Corpus of Joe Bailey, Herbert Gold forgot all these petty social inconveniences (or maybe he never faced them) and romanticized all that people from Joe's generation had come to miss and what reading the book might help them to recall. "People 'of a certain age,' " he wrote, "remember what it was like to think of going to the beach during the last days of summer vacation, to steal sexy magazines from newsstands, to read them in a secret place, to tear out and crumple and burn them, to work on model airplanes, to dream of automobiles and girls and heroism in war, to try to imagine parents in a different life." And, he added, "To think, finally, about death." Hall audited his period's most innocent and most base impulses.
But the book isn't trapped by the '50s. It tells a story that had long been told in fiction and that for better or worse is now usually told in memoirs. It's a bildungsroman, a story that explores the moral growth (spiritual growth in some cases, but not this one) of a single character. Joe is "nine or ten or eleven" when the book opens, and let's just say he's older when it ends. To tell this story Hall calls on a motif used most extraordinarily by William Faulkner, in As I Lay Dying; he titles sections of Corpus of Joe Bailey after major characters, so that by the end we have a group portrait in addition to a more dimensional sense of the hero. And part of what makes Joe Bailey who he is is an obsession with what comes next that is so consuming (no matter how elusive the answer) that we must sympathize with him. We believe Joe. "One thing about Joe Bailey," Hall told me, "I've never written a novel and had so many people tell me, 'That's the story of my life.' "
Some of the novel's palpability comes from its brawn. As the title suggests, a lot of the book is concerned with Joe's body -- with its growth, its strength on the football field, its balance on a surfboard. Joe always seems just about to crack, to hurl the full weight of the world off his shoulders. But this corporeality doesn't belong just to Joe; much of it comes from Oakley Hall. He writes a direct, sturdy prose, which in 1953 still reflected his admiration for Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler and the stories in Black Mask, the popular pulp magazine. In the very first paragraph of the book Hall flexes his muscles, describing the geography of San Diego with references to a "bent elbow," a "forearm," and an "artery"; Mission Hills, as he saw it then, "resembles very much a hand with the fingers clenched to hold it tightly there."
Oakley Hall was born in La Jolla in 1920, but his family moved to Mission Hills when he was still young. His parents split when he was a boy and he shuttled between his father, who remained in Mission Hills for a while; his grandmother, who lived around the corner from his father; and his mother, who moved to Hawaii. Hall studied at the University of Hawaii and San Diego State (where he first became interested in writing), then graduated from UC Berkeley. He joined the Marines after college and was stationed at Camp Pendleton. He married his wife Barbara in 1945 before being sent to Maui, where he was about to be shipped to war when we dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. Hall used his GI Bill money to study writing at Columbia and Iowa and to work on Corpus of Joe Bailey. His first novel, So Many Doors, part of which is also set in San Diego, was published by Random House in 1950. Throughout the '50s, Hall published several mysteries under the pseudonyms O. M. Hall (Murder City, 1950; Wanton City, 1951) and Jason Manor (The Girl in the Red Jaguar, 1955; The Pawns of Fear, 1955; The Tramplers, 1956). He was an avid athlete -- a body surfer, a tennis player, and a downhill skier. In 1963 he published The Downhill Racers, which was turned into a movie directed by the cinema verité filmmaker Michael Ritchie and starred Robert Redford. Hall's 1958 novel Warlock, a fictional account of Wyatt Earp, earned him a Pulitzer Prize nomination and was turned into a movie starring Henry Fonda and Anthony Quinn. All told, Oakley Hall has published over 20 novels -- Westerns, historical novels, and mysteries -- and two books about fiction writing.

All News Releases By Date
EPA's Clean Air Act Turns 40 / Agency achieved significant health and environmental benefits
Release Date: 09/14/2010
Contact Information: Cathy Milbourn, email@example.com, 202-564-7849, 202-564-4355
WASHINGTON - As part of the activities commemorating the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 40th anniversary, the agency is highlighting progress made under the 40 years of the Clean Air Act (CAA) at a conference in Washington, D.C. Among the attendees are those who have helped to shape the CAA over the years, including members of Congress, state and local government officials, and leaders in public health, business and technology, environmental justice, and advocacy.
"For 40 years the Clean Air Act has protected our health and our environment, saving lives and sparking new innovations to make our economy cleaner and stronger. The common sense application of the act has made it one of the most cost-effective things the American people have done for themselves in the last half century," said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. "Since 1970 we have seen a steady trajectory of less pollution in our communities and greater economic opportunity throughout our nation. We will continue those trends as we face the clean air challenges of the next 40 years, including working to cut greenhouse gases and grow the American clean energy economy. The Clean Air Act proves the naysayers wrong – we can protect our health and environment at the same time we grow our economy."
Significant health benefits, especially for children
According to an EPA analysis, the first 20 years of Clean Air Act programs, from 1970 to 1990, prevented:
· 205,000 premature deaths
· 672,000 cases of chronic bronchitis
· 21,000 cases of heart disease
· 843,000 asthma attacks
· 10.4 million lost I.Q. points in children – mostly from reducing lead in gasoline
· 18 million child respiratory illnesses
Improved air quality and public health
In 1990, the act was revised with overwhelming bipartisan support.
· From 1990 through 2008, emissions of six common pollutants are down 41 percent, while gross domestic product has grown 64 percent.
· Lead levels in the air are 92 percent lower than in 1980, greatly reducing the number of children with IQs below 70 as a result of dirty air.
· Preliminary EPA analysis shows that in 2010, CAA fine particles and ozone programs will prevent more than 160,000 premature deaths. The economic value of air quality improvements is estimated to reach almost $2 trillion for the year 2020, a value that exceeds the costs to comply with the 1990 Clean Air Act and related programs.
Cleaner cars, trucks and transportation
New cars, light trucks, and heavy-duty diesel engines are up to 95 percent cleaner than past models thanks to technology such as the catalytic converter.
· New non-road engines used in construction and agriculture have 90 percent less particle pollution and nitrogen oxide emissions than previous models.
· When fully implemented in 2030, vehicle and fuel programs will produce $186 billion in air quality and health benefits, with only $11 billion in costs, a nearly 16-to-1 benefit/cost ratio.
Combating acid rain, cleaner power plants, significant economic and health benefits
The acid rain program has reduced damage to water quality in lakes and streams, and improved the health of ecosystems and forests. Acid deposition has decreased by more than 30 percent in much of the Midwest and Northeast since 1990 under a cap-and-trade program for power plants.
· Reductions in fine particle levels yielded benefits including the avoidance of about 20,000 to 50,000 premature deaths annually.
· The benefits of the acid rain program outweigh the costs by at least 40-to-1.
Reducing industrial toxic air pollution
Since 1990, toxic emissions have been reduced from industry by 1.7 million tons a year -- many times the reductions achieved in the first 20 years of the CAA.
· The air toxics rules for chemical plants, oil refineries, aerospace manufacturing and other industries also are achieving large reductions in pollutants that form smog and particulates.
· Monitoring networks are extensive enough to determine that outdoor air concentrations of benzene, a carcinogen, decreased 55 percent between 1994 and 2007.
Reducing skin cancer by protecting the ozone layer
The Clean Air Act amendments of 1990 require that EPA develop and implement regulations for the responsible management of ozone-depleting substances in the United States to help restore the ozone layer.
· The phase-out of the most harmful ozone-depleting chemicals, including CFC and halons will reduce U.S. incidences of non-melanoma skin cancer by 295 million during the period 1989 through 2075, as well as protect people from immune system suppression and eye damage leading to cataracts.

I would love this trade. I have a pole on the pacers message board on who would like Murphy as our center. Or basiclly to play in the post with JO. So far it is 39 yea 53 nea. I like the guy but hea what can I say I would give you Tinsley and Foster for Murphy if you wanted. Foster is a rebounding Machine and plays good D. Tinsley I believe is pulling the same act Barron pullen in NO. He is a very good PG when he plays. I just think he wants out of Indy. Too many flu like symptoms for an exuse why he did not play to be true.
Stephen Jackson is a good SF but nothing special. I really still think Pietrus could be very effective and better than Jackson at least, so no to this trade. I would offer Murphy for Granger and an expiring contract to make the deal work and see what the Pacers think. Right now, Jackson is ahead of Granger in their lineup so Granger is not that important yet.
Has Fisher been traded or is that yet to happen? I can't find anything that confirms that trade

How about Troy Murphy & Monta Ellis for Anthony Johnson, Steven Jackson & Shawne Williams. This would give you a vet back up PG that can handle the reigns if Baron goes down. ( did you see his 40 pt game in the play offs) Steven Jackson would be an upgrade at your SF position. Shawne Williams is a young rookie with great upside. In two years I could see him and Diogu being the face of this franchise. Of course J-Rich would still be the leader but this team would be nasty.
As far as deals, Mullin may not pull off anything major! He really has to use players like Murphy to get anything good, no need for great. I am really getting more and more interested in just a trade for expirer with Murphy. He is in the way of Diogu and that is the biggest problem. The salary issue is what will most probably stop anything major from happening

No, not happy day that there is this thunderstorm outside of my hotel window!
This is the storm that followed me out of Pennsylvania, through parts of Maryland and into Virginia!
BUT ---even though it's storming on the outside, it's bright and sunny on the INSIDE!
You are not going to believe this --- even *I* don't believe this!
I just got a call from home.
There is a check waiting for me --- for the full replacement amount on my damaged featherweight machine!
The letter stated that if I do take the laptop in, pay the $89.95 for the evaluation, they will reimburse me for that plus the fees to repair/replace my laptop.
I know it doesn't make up for the fact that I've lost a machine I dearly loved. It may be an inanimate object, but it felt like my right arm having that machine with me when I'm on the road so much.
Will I replace it with a new souped up one? I'm not sure. I'm enjoying sewing on Bea!
Because the weather is so yuck --- I'm inside getting set up:

Coker starter Seth Weinberg (2-0) earned the win, in five man pitching rotation, with Steven Dill, Blake Miller, Larry Morris and Chris Thomas coming on in relief. The Coker pitching staff held the Bears to only six runs on seven hits in seven innings. Only Miller and Thomas allowed runs, as Miller allowed two runs in the fifth and Thomas allowed four runs in the seventh.
Leading Coker's offensive attack was Ryan Schaeffer, going 4-for-5 and hitting for the cycle, with a single, a double, a triple and a home run. Schaeffer also had nine RBIs and three runs scored. Steve Evans was 5-for-6 with two RBIs and four runs scored, while Brian Johanson was 3-for-4 with double, three RBIs and five runs scored. Ben Davidson finished 4-for-6 with a triple, four RBIs and four runs scored and Brooks Urquhart was 1-for-4 with a home run, three RBIs and a run scored.
Three of Coker's freshman picked up their first collegiate hits and two of them were triples. Nate Donovan and Bryant Smith each hit a triple and Ty Medlin recorded his first hit as well. Donovan finished 1-for-1 with an RBI and Smith was 1-for-1 with three RBIs and two runs scored, while Medlin was 1-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored.

Doctors Hospital Named Center of Excellence in Women's Health Surgery
The American Institute of Minimally Invasive Surgery (AIMIS) has named Doctors Hospital a Center of Excellence in Women's Health Surgery, making the hospital the first in the area to receive such designation.
A hospital can be recognized as a Center for Excellence once it meets minimally-invasive surgery standards and outcomes as defined by AIMIS. Doctors Hospital has made minimally invasive surgery a priority, which helps to minimize recovery times, reduce scarring, and provide better patient outcomes.
"Our main goal is to provide the very best care for our patients, and one significant way we've accomplished this is to offer the top resources for our surgeons through the latest advances in technology and minimally invasive options," said Doug Welch, CEO. "Our attention to these details has set us apart as a community leader in minimally-invasive surgery."
"It is rewarding to be recognized as a Center of Excellence, but even more notable is the designation shows we're doing what is best for women in this community," said Welch. "A record number of our OB/GYNs have become trained in advanced surgical techniques and in doing so, they're showing a true commitment to making Doctors Hospital the hospital of choice for women's surgery, particularly minimally-invasive procedures.
Doctors Hospital's minimally invasive surgery program has shown significant growth recently. In 2012, 80% of hysterectomy procedures at the hospital were minimally invasive. This number exceeds the national average for open versus minimally invasive hysterectomies which is only around 20%.

Though the pleasure you receive from using a sex toy is typically priceless, some sex toys are so ridiculously expensive it can't be worth it. Like $3,475 for a Unicorn Butt Plug or $13,500 for a vibrator? Yeesh.
VICE did the deep diving legwork on what they call sex gadgets of the rich and shameless and it's an impressive litany of self pleasure. Starting from the top left and going clock wise is the Real Doll ($6,500), Shockpot Robotic Fucking Machine ($2,100), Thrillhammer Sex Machine ($3,600), Inez 24K gold-plated vibrator ($13,500), Little Steel Tonight vibrator ($2,000) and the aforementioned glorious unicorn butt plug by Betony Vernon. If you want to know what these toys all do, head over to VICE. If you still want to buy all the toys, you have a brave soul. [VICE]

C++ at fault
January 14th, 2016 by Colin Walls
I like being right. Who does not? I am also interested in programming languages. Part of their appeal is that, unlike almost all spoken languages, they have a precise definition or specification to which implementers endeavor to comply. Many languages, like C and C++, have ANSI/ISO standards, which nail down many of the details. These standards tend to be imperfect and aspects of the language can remain rather insecure, as implementers have too much latitude. This is why organizations such as MISRA publish detailed usage guidelines to avoid the problem areas. C++, in particular, gives some interesting opportunities to write obscure code, which I have written about here before.
I was concerned, when I first started to learn C++, that there was a flaw in the language. Some years later, I got the whole story …
The C++ language is generally more "picky" than C. There are tighter requirements to specify data types and use them in a consistent manner. This is good, as it reduces opportunities for programmer error. When I was learning the language, I was a little confused by constructors and destructors. In C++, there is the concept of a class. This is a construct, very like a C language struct, but it can contain both code and data. Defining a class, in effect adds a new data type to the language. There is the opportunity to include two "member functions", which are executed when an object is instantiated from the class and when it goes out of scope; the constructor and destructor respectively. Here is an outline of a class definition:
The two functions, fubar() and ~fubar() are the constructor and destructor. Here I have just shown the declaration – the actual code is defined elsewhere.
Neither of these functions has the opportunity to return a result. So, they are intrinsically void. But you will notice that I have not declared them as such. In fact, if I did, I would get an error from the compiler. This seems illogical. In C, a function without a specified return type is, by default, int. In C++, it is normally forbidden to exclude the type specification, but not here. Confusing eh?
Some years later I got the answer to this mystery. In the early 1990s, I was working for Microtec, who were later acquired by Mentor Graphics. We had just released some of the first tools for programming embedded systems in C++ and we were promoting them and the broader use of the language. We had the idea that we would run a large seminar on C++ for embedded and, as one of our engineering team was rather well connected, we arranged for Bjarne Stroustrup, the inventor of the C++ language, to come along and speak. Needless to say, this attracted a large crowd, as we had planned. That evening, we took the Great Man out for dinner. Naturally, the conversation included some discussion of C++ and, although I was nervous about making a fool of myself, I had the chance to raise this anomaly. "Yes," he said "we screwed up there really, but it is too late to go back and change it now."
It was very satisfying to get the answer "from the horse's mouth". I suspect many modern compilers allow a void declaration. Maybe even the spec has been revised. But I think that it illustrates the point that the only silly question is the one you do not ask.

Wembley Stadium works closely with the local communities.
The re-building of the national Stadium in Wembley has had a hugely positive impact on the local area of Brent. The Stadium is the centerpiece for massive regeneration efforts which will totally transform the local area. The ambitious plans being driven forward by Wembley National Stadium Limited, Brent Council and Quintain Estates and Development plc is well on its way to delivering a national and international leisure destination – a place where people are proud to live and eager to visit. The Stadium development, designed as a public transport destination, also prompted the delivery of massively improved transport solutions. More than £70m was invested to upgrade roads, rail and pedestrian routes, partly through Wembley Stadium funding, ensuring that the infrastructure copes with the influx of fans on major event days – a benefit not only on event days but for local residents and businesses 365 days a year. Access and capacity at the three main stations serving the stadium - Wembley Park, Wembley Central and Wembley Stadium stations, has been vastly improved and there have also been highway improvements to the stadium access corridor from the North Circular Road.At Wembley Stadium we understand the importance of interacting with the local community. We consult regularly and work closely with key local stakeholders - in particular Brent Council and local resident groups.The Wembley Stadium Residents Advisory Committee, which was set-up while the old Stadium was in operation, continues to meet approximately every 6 months. This is a crucial forum at which representatives from the local residents associations meet with Wembley Stadium as well as key Brent Council representatives (and a number of other key stakeholders including transport partners and the Metropolitan Police) to be updated on stadium activities and to discuss issues and any points of concern.During concert events local residents and businesses are welcome to comment on noise levels by calling the Wembley Stadium Audio Feedback Line on 0844 980 9811. Callers will be asked to supply their name, address and phone number and any feedback will be passed on for investigation. This line is only operational for music events.
The benefits of having the national stadium at Wembley are far reaching for the local area, the London Borough of Brent and indeed the Capital as a whole. The stadium is being used to stimulate the regeneration of its surrounding area and Brent Council, as well as Wembley National Stadium Limited, are determined to maximise the positive impact of the new Wembley Stadium on the area. The Stadium development, designed as a public transport destination, prompted the delivery of massively improved transport solutions. More than £70m was invested to upgrade roads, rail and pedestrian routes, partly through Wembley Stadium funding, ensuring that the infrastructure copes with the influx of fans on major event days – a benefit not only on event days but for local residents and businesses 365 days a year. An ambitious regeneration project that is fast transforming Wembley into a world-class leisure destination is also well underway. In November 2002, Brent Council launched their Vision for a new Wembley, challenging all stakeholders to imagine a new Wembley and setting out a radical blueprint for the future of the area with the national stadium at its heart.The key components of that Vision include:The new National StadiumA community focus for BrentA national, regional and local leisure destinationThe London Convention CentreA centre for workAn accessible development A cultural and educational centre High quality commercial and retail facilitiesA mixture of housing types and tenures In June 2004 Brent Council and private developer Quintain both unveiled exciting plans for the area that will deliver thousands of jobs and homes with massively improved local facilities. Planning permission was granted for an ambitious mixed-use development proposal covering some 50 acres of land surrounding the stadium. Quintain Estates and Development plc has started work on site to develop the land around the stadium and their plans look set to create a vibrant development that will create new jobs, homes, leisure facilities, shops, bars, restaurants, offices, a hotel and major new public spaces.An array of partners have been involved in ensuring that the unique opportunity to regenerate and invigorate the local area of Wembley is captialised on to the full.

The first thing that strikes you as you step into Birthmarks, the third album from Midland, Ontario's Born Ruffians, is the staggering stench of Exactly What The Label Asked For. The honed vocal tics, pitched directly between Noah Lennox, Marcus Mumford and Fleet Foxes. The enormous production so eminently pristine you glimpse your own reflection in the vocals, causing momentary nausea. The image of soiled interns being sent to the company gallows because 'Oceans Deep's cymbals 'just don't sound massive enough!!'
But to judge Born Ruffians on that point would be unfair, not least owing to the fact the label in question, outside Canada at least, would be the entirely respectable Yep Roc Records. (That said, the band's domestic label Paper Bag do have a history of rejecting commercially-deficient masterpieces - see Slim Twig's kaleidoscopic A Hound at the Hem - which might put the frighteners somewhat on would-be pioneers...) The likely conclusion then is that Birthmarks bears a pretty close resemblance to the album Born Ruffians would make if left totally free to their own devices.
From this we can infer one of two conclusions: either the four-piece have personally taken to streamlining their music for maximum radio-play and profitability, or Born Ruffians are genuinely expressing themselves here - they are overall vibrant yet amply troubled chaps who happen to possess excellent wardrobes and, arguably, slightly defective imaginations, which leads to the spiritual pallor that niggles as we watch Birthmarks put its face on.
Still, more often than not they nail their washed-out colours to the right mast. Opener 'Needle' is big, cavernous, a mirage of reverb-dripping chords speckled with curious, winding melodies like tiny waterfalls finding their way down the cliff-face. Certainly it's meatier, more diverse than the average and lyrically - well - in the spectrum of songs prominently featuring the phrase "yummy as can be", it's probably one of the more substantial. Sure, the cymbals splash, the handclaps pow, the guitars try to sound a bit afrobeat and god, does every verse and chorus and chorus and verse occupy the exact structural, textural and emotional dimensions you expect. And yes, '6-5000' occasionally burns its anthemic-rock wings, and yes, 'So Slow' overplays its soulful-longing hand. But equally 'Never Age' has a delicate subtlety as harmonious as it is melodically wrong-footing, and any spotty teen who hears whichever of these gets commissioned for the biggest ad-spot and promptly falls in love with every single song on Birthmarks could probably do a lot worse.
See, Born Ruffians are simultaneously the pinnacle of and problem with certain strands of Canadian music. They apply a marginally authentic-sounding guitar-based tweak to a pop music formula, but ultimately fall into a category of Canadian bands that sound like passable misunderstandings of the concept of an American band. (It should be noted that plenty of American bands sound like passable misunderstandings of the concept of an American band, too.) Following the Can-rock revolution of '85-'95 (Blue Rodeo, the Rheostatics, Sloan - not exactly seismic to us, but this was like punk to those guys) Canada instilled some confidence into its own music industry. Now Broken Social Scene and Arcade Fire have banished the country's musical taboo once and for all, and in 2013 we can guiltlessly expose Born Ruffians for the highly competent songwriters of slightly etiolated stock that they are. Birthmarks is probably the most impressive Born Ruffians record to date, but it's a shame they travelled so far without straying from the middle of the road.
