EPA Proposes "Next Generation" Storm Water Controls in Clean Water Permit for Washington D.C.
Release Date: 04/21/2010
Contact Information: David Sternberg (215) 814-5548 firstname.lastname@example.com
(PHILADELPHIA) April 21, 2010 - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today announced that it has issued a proposed permit to the District of Columbia requiring the District to continue improving its Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) program for controlling stormwater runoff. EPA is accepting comments on the permit until June 4.
"The innovations in this new permit are vital to restoring and protecting the health of local waterways in the District, as well as the Chesapeake Bay," said Shawn M. Garvin, EPA mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator. "We all need to do our part, and this permit can serve as a model to other municipalities for preventing runoff from washing harmful pollutants into streams and rivers in the Bay watershed."
Medium and large MS4s such as the District's are required by federal law to have permits covering their discharges. The permit announced today requires the District to take progressive steps that were not required by the old permit issued in 2004, including:
· Implementing a sustainable and enforceable approach to promoting low impact development and green infrastructure, including enhanced tree planting, green roofs, and water reuse onsite to slow down the rate of runoff from paved areas of the District.
· Increasing monitoring of total maximum daily loading (TMDL) or "pollution diet," for impaired waterways, including the Anacostia and Potomac rivers, Rock Creek and the Chesapeake Bay.
The new permit conditions are necessary because large portions of impervious surfaces such as roads, rooftops and parking lots in the District channel stormwater directly into local streams, and rivers. Improperly managed stormwater runoff from the District can damage streams, cause significant erosion, and carry excessive nitrogen phosphorus, sediment, toxic metals, volatile organic compounds, and other pollutants downstream and into the Chesapeake Bay.
The comment period for the permit will begin on April 21 and last 45 days, ending June 4. Following the close of public review, EPA will prepare a response and make any necessary modifications to the permit to address public comment. EPA expects to finalize the permit within 3 months of the close of the public review.

Nothing lights your day like hearing that one of your favs LN is getting animated.
But that "going with the flow" style really does fit more college age students the most.

I was kind of hoping for a live-action adaptation of this, since it would reach a bigger audience (and Yuyuko-sensei deserves it).
This is what I wrote three years ago when I'd finished the first novel:
Made it all the way to the end of Golden Time tonight. After Toradora I was a huge fan of this author, and had no clue what to expect. The summary sounded way too similar to her previous series, and I was worried it'd be a boring retread, but I think GT manages to feel different enough that it wasn't a problem at all.
In fact, I find it hard to think of it quite as a light novel. It's just a bit too mature, compared to all the other series I've read under that label, and the illustrations are so tiny that I can't help but wonder if they just stuffed them in there to abide by some kind of publisher regulation. That's not to say it's, you know, proper adult literature. Still, it's a lot more like seinen manga, and with a character called NANA-senpai (seriously), it's easy to make the connection to the manga with that name.
To put it bluntly, Golden Time is a love soap in college setting.
If you ever watched the j-drama Orange Days, that's not too far off in feel. Mind you, I liked Orange Days. And I really enjoyed reading GT. It's not as funny (comical, that is) as Toradora was, but then Toradora floated away from the comedy gradually as it went along, while GT pretty much starts at the end of Toradora's spectrum. It's fascinating to read about the life of a Japanese university student, and compare it to how I felt moving away from home to study in a new town, getting used to living without my parents, and encountering all the strange people at campus. Fresh, is a simple way to describe the book.
It's not a masterpiece, though. To begin with, the protagonist lacks any real character, so he feels pretty bland when you're used to light novels where everyone is easily identified by certain strong features. At the outset, the plot is also very loose, with no discernible goal to work towards, which makes it, well, not boring, exactly, but somewhat difficult to follow. Events occur a bit too haphazardly and disjointedly, much like real life, and at times I had to wonder what the point of a certain (absurd) chapter was, and why it was given so many pages. It doesn't help that the writing is ruthless to foreigners like me, who still struggle with slang and modern youth talk not found in a dictionary, which made some of the conversations tricky. Narrative sentences are also longer and more complex than I'm used to, so I'm definitely putting this title down as one of the harder light novels I've encountered.
Anyway. What really makes Golden Time interesting is the delicate time period it uses as setting: late teens, early twenties. The characters are right at the age where love and relationships are starting to grow complicated. It's no longer about running around drunk on emotions, instead it's an age where you approach emotions carefully -- or stumble over them -- and have to reflect on what they really mean, and how pursuing them will affect you and your future. And perhaps you'll reach the wrong conclusion the first time, and end up with a massive failure on your hands. Then grow as a person, trying to overcome that pain.
The author expresses all this perfectly, with vivid scenes that often made me think back on what it was like to be their age. The pages are teeming with the passion of youth. And that, strangely, is pretty rare these days.

As someone who is currently reading the Toradora VN translations (currently on hiatus though because of Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei ), I must say I'm actually impressed by how much they were able to cram in 2 cours. Which only serves to fuel my JC Staff fanboyism.
Kinda apprehensive a bit though, since the author didn't even have either party of the childhood friends be romantically interested in each other in Toradora, so I dunno what are the odds of them winning here. Although to be fair, Ryuuji/Taiga acted very much like osananajimi (I'd say even more so than the actual childhood friends), so if the author gives a good deal of that aspect to the winning couple, I'd be happy.
Or screw it, if Okada is writing it, I'm all in. XD

Hey, that sounds like something I went through!
I'm in.
Lol at people crying out for Nagai x Okada. Well I guess that can't be blamed since the duo have created some great works, but really be careful for what you wish for. Okada isn't the same anymore and you know that dress that the girl is wearing on the front cover? Well, it might be worn by the main male MC at some point .

[NE 1st Avenue]
Description: This photograph shows a scene of NE 1st Avenue. The stone building on the left is the "Yeager Building", which once housed the "Lion" Drugstore. At the time of the photograph, it housed Baker Medical Supply. A handwritten date on the back of the photograph states "1993." In 2007, the coffee shop "H2Jo" is located in this building. The next building up the street (and in the next block) was once the Hub Tailors, and the large three-story building farther up the street is the Western Auto Store. At the end of the street is the Old Post Office, which currently [2008] houses the Women's Club.

About two years ago, StoryCorps, the national oral history project, began animating some of the favorite stories collected from our interview participants over the years. Airing on the PBS series POV, these animations bring a whole new dimension to the audio stories that air weekly on NPR's Morning Edition and can be heard on storycorps.org.
We're now working on our first long-form animated special, which PBS has agreed to run in the fall of 2013. But - we need your help to close the gap on production funds so that we can finish the project and make it happen!
We're asking you to back our first long-form animation special and then share this link with your friends and family. With your support, StoryCorps Animated Shorts can reach new audiences!
StoryCorps is a national, independent nonprofit
organization, and your donation is 100% tax deductible.
The Animation Special
Our first half-hour special will feature six animated shorts woven together as a narrative to convey the life cycle arc: childhood, personal identity, work, friendship, falling in love, and reflecting on life. Each of these shorts will be released individually on our website and YouTube page as they are created, before appearing in StoryCorps' Animation Special.
The StoryCorps participants and their stories that were chosen for the Animation Special address some of life's most challenging questions (from StoryCorps' Great Questions List): How did you feel when I was born? Who was the most important person in your life? How do you want to be remembered?
As with all StoryCorps Animated Shorts, the half-hour special will be animated and produced with Mike and Tim Rauch of Rauch Brothers Animation. In addition to the pilot series of StoryCorps Animated Shorts, the Rauch Brothers' recent work includes directing and animating for Sesame Workshop's Electric Company. Oscar nominee (Doctor DeSoto, 1984) and industry veteran Michael Sporn calls the Rauch Brothers "an animation duo to watch."
The beautiful, detailed animation backgrounds and landscapes are created by renowned painter and background artist Bill Wray, best known for his iconic painting style on the Ren & Stimpy Show. Our character designer and storyboard artist, Stephen DeStefano, has worked on Futurama and the Ren & Stimpy Show, and published with Fantagraphics Books.
Before the artists begin their sketches, they work closely with the featured participants to gain a richer understanding of their story. They talk with them at length, and even visit them in their homes to view family photos and take pictures of details they may want to include in the animation. This attention to detail adds contextual elements and depth to StoryCorps Animated Shorts that cannot be communicated in audio recordings alone.
Check out some of our favorite animations for a better idea of what the Animation Special will look like:
John and Joe | John Vigiano Sr. is a retired New York City firefighter whose two sons followed him into service—John Jr. was a firefighter, too, and Joe was a police detective. On September 11, 2001, both Vigiano brothers responded to the call from the World Trade Center, and both were killed while saving others. Here, John Sr. remembers his sons and reflects on coping with his tremendous loss.
Miss Devine |Cousins James Ransom and Cherie Johnson recall their fearsome Sunday school teacher, Miss Lizzie Devine, the only woman who had more power than their grandmother. Set in the small Florida town of the cousins' memories, this animation resounds with the joy of sharing stories with family.
No More Questions! | Kay Wang was a strong-willed grandmother who was reluctantly taken to a StoryCorps booth by her son and granddaughter. Though Kay resisted, she still had stories to tell—from disobeying her mother and rebuffing suitors while growing up in China to late-life adventures as a detective for Bloomingdale's department store. Kay passed away just weeks after that interview, and her son and granddaughter returned to StoryCorps to remember her gentler side, which she kept to herself.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Feb. 1 (UPI) -- Forecasters predict weather at kickoff for Sunday's Super Bowl in New Jersey will be unseasonably mild with little chance for precipitation.
After days of speculation -- and hints Super Bowl Sunday could turn into Super Bowl Monday if mother nature had her say -- NBC says the game-time temperature will be 44 degrees at kickoff, slated for about 6:30 p.m. EST.
There is a 10 percent chance of rain.
Temperatures are expected to drop throughout the evening and overnight, with a higher chance of snow showers Monday morning -- so the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks may be locking horns during the optimal weather window of the next few days.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
What a great way to look at making records: like the albums themselves are all friends. That's the impression Kimberly Perry gave me when we talked about the album The Band Perry is making right now. "I feel like this one holds hands really well with the first project," she said. "If you listen to album No. 2, you'd certainly know it's The Band Perry. But it also sounds like we've had two years of brand new experiences and have brand new things to say." In a lot of respects, Perry said, this one will be even more true to who they are as songwriters and musicians. The band has been working with Rick Rubin, a producer they have admired for years. She called the experience magical, miraculous and life-changing. "I feel like that is the magic of a great producer — to meet the artist right where they are at that moment in time and to really figure out how to get the best out of that artist," she said. "And he certainly has done that for Reid and Neil and myself. And, man, I don't know how we would've gotten this record done any other way." She added, "It's a real spiritual experience for Rick," noting that she read somewhere that when he was producing records with the late Johnny Cash, they'd take communion together every day that they were in the studio. Perry said the album is 75 percent done and the first single will be delivered to country radio stations this fall.

FBI Probes Possible Hacking Incident at J.P. Morgan
Attack Appears to Have Been Caused By Malicious Computer Code
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is probing a computer-hacking attack on J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and as many as four other banks, in what people familiar with the probe described as a significant breach of corporate computer security. (Further reading: J.P. Morgan says about 76 million households affected by cyber breach).
The timing and extent of the hacking attacks weren't immediately clear, though cybersecurity experts began probing the possible J.P. Morgan breach earlier this month, according to people familiar...

Now we return to the continuing saga of 100 days of homemade. Spoiler alert! Day 26 was a doozy that included an ER visit, so, there's that. Soft foods ahead. And there's that little thing where my digital camera went ker-plunk and these are a mixture of android shots and borrowed photos from J. Legume. I've started my new-camera-woes research and received great advice from some VVC folks, but I've yet to have the time to really contemplate the matter and visit a camera store. Suggestions welcome.
Let me note that I'm enjoying the novelty of a Vegg yolk in the above dish more so than functionality in anything I've tried so far. With that, I would love to hear if it's scientifically working culinary wonders for anyone.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Senior middle blocker
Laurel Johnson of the Yale volleyball team has been named Ivy
League Player of the Week after earning a slot on the Seton Hall
Invitational All-Tournament Team this past weekend. Johnson, a
Cherry Hill, N.J. native playing in her home state, registered 3.22
kills per set with a commanding .424 hitting percentage and racked
up a tournament-high 1.22 blocks per set as the Bulldogs swept
through the competition to win the tournament crown. Johnson is
second Yale player to earn Player of the Week honors this season,
along with senior Cat Dailey, who took home the award on Sept.
In the weekend-opening sweep of Hofstra on Friday, Johnson hit at a clip of .421, piling up 10 kills on 19 swings. She also tallied three blocks (one solo), an assist and a career-best seven digs. The 5'11 middle was even better against the New Jersey Institute of Technology on Saturday, sharing the team high of 12 kills with just one error on 25 swings for a .440 hitting percentage. Johnson also added a match-best six blocks (one solo) against the Highlanders. In the weekend finale, a Yale sweep of tournament host Seton Hall, Johnson hit .400 once again (7-1-15) and had a hand in two more blocks.
Junior Kelly Ozurovich was also honored by the Ancient Eight as a member of the Weekly Honor Roll. Ozurovich, playing in the libero slot, was the anchor of a Yale defense that held opponents to a .083 hitting percentage this past weekend. The two-time All-Ivy honoree took home All-Tournament laurels after averaging a stellar 7.00 digs per set and landing four service aces for the Bulldogs in the trio of straight-set victories. Ozurovich also eclipsed 900 career digs during this weekend's action.
Johnson, Ozurovich and the Bulldogs will be back on the court this weekend as volleyball action returns to the John J. Lee Amphitheater for Yale's final pre-Ivy tune-up, the Yale Classic. The tournament kicks off on Sept. 25 with Yale hosting Central Connecticut State. First serve is slated for 7 p.m.

Looking fresh during Mercedes Benz Fall Fashion Week in NYC is no easy feat for a show-hopping celeb. First there are the outfit changes (must show designer loyalty!), not to mention trying to look chic when it's nine degrees outside, as it was most days. Which is why we found it so impressive that actress Camilla Belle (last seen in When a Stranger Calls) managed to look appropriate and fashion-forward at every event she went to this week, including Max Azria, Oscar de la Renta and Miss Sixty. "I mix it up a bit," she says about her fashion week philosophy. "I do a lot of changing!" One thing's for sure, Belle definitely prefers being a spectator, rather than the center of attention: "It's a bit nerve-wracking to walk," she says about her Red Dress runway strut. "[Watching] the shows, you can just sit back and relax."

Invisible Radiators
Invisible Radiators
Invisible radiators are just that, invisible to the occupants of a room. The heating elements are cleverly placed inside a wall cavity opening which is then plastered over. There is a
or grill at the bottom of the wall which lets the cold air in to be heated, and there is a grill at the top on the wall which lets the
heated air out into the room
. Pretty clever huh? There were many makers of these back in the day, among them was Modine, and Trane. You will notice on the Trane link that the same element gives off more btu's if the higher grill outlet is used. The taller the invisible radiator was the better the chimney effect was in getting the air to move. The Invisible radiator was generally used in dining rooms and living rooms, but could in fact be put just about anywhere.
Modine's invisible radiator patent.

County donates land for Gateway project
The land for the so-called Gateway project at the entrance of Mammoth Lakes will be donated to the Town of Mammoth Lakes by Mono County, the county's five supervisors agreed Tuesday.
The Gateway project, a volunteer-supported, large, rock and wood sign, designed to give visitors entering Mammoth a sense of arrival, will be located on county land just off of both sides of S.R. 203 near the entrance to town, just east and across the highway from, the Mono County Courthouse.
The project has been spearheaded by longtime Mammoth local Elizabeth Tenney, who has secured a veritable army of architects, designers, laborers—and the raw materials—to create the project. Work on the project is expected to begin this summer.
"We want to show the world that we are here and invested in our future," Tenney said Tuesday. "That's why this is important to do this now, despite all the bad press the town has been getting."
On Sunday, the Mammoth Police Department and the Mammoth Fire District will conduct a "Chili Cook-Off" at The Bistro (Snowcreek) to raise funds for the effort.
The project has been in the works for about a year and a half.
The vote to donate about 5,000-square feet to the Town of Mammoth was unanimous, but the supervisors didn't make the decision without strong assurances that the county would not end up maintaining the project in case the legal judgment against the Town sours further. Should the judgment against the town cause it to declare bankruptcy, or should Mammoth Lakes Land Acquisition consider the land a Town asset, the supervisors said, it might be that they ended up with an unwanted burden.
The supervisors also wanted to be sure no other signs were put on the land. They noted, too, that they weren't adverse to being give some credit for donating the land, say on a plaque in the park near the sign, something that Mammoth Lakes Town Manager Dave Wilbrecht said he was sure could be accomplished.
Mono County Counsel Marshall Rudolph reassured the supervisors that the terms of the land transfer and donation could be written to fully protect the county.
The project will consist of two, tall wood and slate signs in the Craftsman style, surrounded by landscaping and a small pocket park (on the courthouse side of the highway). The signs will read: "Going to the mountains is going home" (John Muir) as the driver exits town, and "The mountains are calling" (John Muir) and "Mammoth Lakes" as the driver arrives.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 30, 2009) - For the second time in the three days the ETSU women's soccer team fell in heartbreaking fashion, dropping its home opener to Liberty 2-1 Sunday at Summers-Taylor Soccer Stadium in Johnson City.
As play got underway the Bucs quickly fired two shots on goal - one each by freshman forward Tori Head (Kingsport, Tenn.) and junior forward Terri Miller (Cape Coral, Fla.) - that were denied by Lady Flame sophomore keeper Karen Blocker.
Minutes later, ETSU's offensive pressure continued as Miller's shot was saved again by Blocker, as was the rebound attempt by sophomore midfielder Genna Petersen (Loveland, Ohio).
"I was good to see our offense use the tactical adjustments early on that we talked about yesterday in practice," said head coach Heather Henson. "We did a great job holding the ball until we needed to release a pass into the midfield. Our composure was there and the forwards did an outstanding job moving the angles of attack, which put pressure on their backline."
After ETSU fired eight shots in the first 13 minutes of play Liberty's offense responded with five of their own, including the only goal of the half by the Lady Flame forward Silvia Betancourt.
"We got a little bit on our heels when Liberty made some changes," said Henson. "We didn't make the right reads when their players moved forward. I thought our midfield and defenders allowed too much space and didn't step up and pressure the ball. That allowed Liberty to find some rhythm and score its goal."
After a number of scoring opportunities slipped past ETSU to start the second half, junior forward Jessica Huntington (Newport News, Va.) knotted the match up at 1-1. The Virginia native fired home her first career goal off of an outstanding pass from fellow classmate Morgan Jutras (Colleyville, Texas).
"We made some adjustments in the second half which expanded our attack and gave more room for our forwards," said Henson. "We talked about switching the point of our offense and Jessica's goal was because of that. Our midfielders played the ball up and Jessica did a great job staying wide when Morgan crossed the pass."
Just when it looked like ETSU had captured the momentum Liberty answered back, as freshman forward Madison Short knocked home the game winner in the 84th minute.
"We simply gave up too many chances today," said Henson. "I was proud of our effort in the second half coming back like we did, but ultimately we gave up too many shots and corners this afternoon."
The Bucs return to action with their third road match of the season Friday Sept. 4 at Radford.

Salem, Mass. Contractor Faces Penalty for Violating Lead Renovation Rule at Kittery, Maine Site
Release Date: 08/12/2013
Contact Information: David Deegan, (617) 918-1017
(Boston, Mass. – Aug. 12, 2013) – James J. Welch & Co., Inc., based in Salem, Mass., faces a penalty of $28,125 for allegedly violating a requirement designed to protect children from exposure to lead-based paint during painting and other renovation activities.
The alleged violations occurred during a renovation project at the former Frisbee School in Kittery, Maine, at which JJ Welch was the primary contractor. The Kittery site was, at the time of the renovation, a child-occupied facility subject to EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule.
The violation was brought to EPA's attention via an anonymous tip, after which EPA and Maine Dept. of Environmental Protection performed an inspection of the site in Feb. 2012. Based on the inspection, EPA determined that JJ Welch did not ensure that a company hired as a subcontractor to replace windows at the school complied with the required work practice requirements of the RRP Rule, including failure to assign a certified renovator to the work site; failure to cover ground with plastic sheeting; and failure to contain waste from the renovation activity.
EPA's RRP Rule is designed to prevent exposure to lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards. The rule requires individuals performing renovations for compensation at most pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities to be properly trained. There are certification and training requirements for individual renovators and firms performing renovations to ensure that safe work practices are followed during renovations. The rule became effective on April 22, 2010 and allows for the assessment of penalties that may reach up to a maximum of $37,500 per violation per day.
Infants and young children are especially vulnerable to lead paint exposure, which can cause developmental impairment, reading and learning disabilities, impaired hearing, reduced attention span, hyperactivity and behavioral problems. Adults with high lead levels can suffer difficulties during pregnancy, high blood pressure, nerve disorders, memory problems and muscle and joint pain.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
As soon as you walk into Ray's restaurant hangout on Denver Avenue in Algonquin, you'll realize that something isn't right. He's talking to someone on the phone that appears to be very angry at him, and when he gets off the phone, he turns his anger on Niko. The valuables Niko just helped acquire have gone missing, and Ray sees it one of two ways. Either Niko is in on it, or he isn't. Niko claims he's not (and we, as the gamer, know that he isn't). To make it better for everyone, Ray orders Niko to head to a location where he can reclaim the rocks. This will free Niko from suspicion, and more importantly, everyone will get their money.
When you find yourself outside of the restaurant, boost a nearby car and begin heading to your destination on the HUD (via GPS), which is at Castle Garden, on Castle Drive due east of Denver Avenue in Algonquin. Once you arrive, however, things instantly get out of control. When Niko approaches the would-be thieves in their car, they quickly deny stealing the diamonds, turn around and accuse Niko of it, and then speed off. Niko automatically jumps in a nearby sports car, and the chase begins.
Like so many other chases in the game, this one will involve a pre-set course. Shooting at the car or trying to kill the passengers isn't going to help you, so save your ammunition and effort and simply follow the fast-moving vehicle as it weaves in and out of traffic, ultimately bringing you to Middle Park, where the car will meet its demise. When that happens, the group of thieves make a break for it and head deeper into the park, where you'll have to pursue them on foot.

text: Why rent a dirty movie when you can make your own? That's the can-do philosophy embraced by a handful of girl-crazy teens in this comedy. Fred (Tony Denman), Deacon (Erik von Detten), and Matt (Daniel Farber) are three high school kids who, like most teenaged boys, are obsessed with sex. Deacon has a part time job at a video rental shop with a large selection of adult films, and he's been able to sneak porn titles out of the store on a regular basis, to the great enthusiasm of Matt and Fred, who not only enjoy the videos themselves but dub bootleg copies they sell to their classmates to make pocket money. However, when Deacon loses his job, the guys are left high and dry, until one of them gets an idea -- they've seen enough porn movies to know what the average viewer expects from one, so why don't they make one themselves? However, recruiting the performers necessary for such a project turns out to be harder than they expected, with exotic dancer Ashley (Sarah Jane Potts) and neighborhood bully Jake (Riley Smith) rising to the top of a very shallow talent pool. The first production from the guys is an unexpected success, but they soon discover that not everyone is happy with their good fortune, especially sleazy porn kingpin Vic Ramalot (Horatio Sanz), who isn't interested in having more competition.

An open boat recovered from the shoreline of Kahana Bay, Oahu, may be the next piece to be verified as Japan tsunami marine debris, pending confirmation by the Government of Japan, with assistance by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Consulate-General of Japan in Honolulu.
The approximately 20-foot boat was reportedly seen floating whole on Thursday, November 29 in Kahana Bay. By Friday afternoon when it was officially reported, it had broken up into pieces on rocks on the northward outer edge of the bay. Staff from the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) the State's lead agency for marine debris responses, were able to retrieve pieces of the boat from the rocks and bring them ashore on Saturday.
Further investigations by DLNR today in the ocean near where the boat had washed up on to the rocks recovered more pieces of the broken boat. Identification information found on the various pieces include Japanese characters (kanji) on a section of the bow, and Japanese registration numbers from pieces of the stern. The NOAA Marine Debris Program in Hawai'i is working with the Japan Consulate on confirmation of the boat's origin.
DLNR and NOAA will make a followup announcement if this item is confirmed. If it is confirmed, it will be the fourth confirmed tsunami marine debris item for Hawaii and the 17th overall for the U.S. and Canada. (Currently, there are 16 confirmed JTMD for US and Canada.)
Identification of the boat's origin may also help with the identification of two species of mussels collected by DLNR staff that were attached to the boat as biofouling. The mussels could be a species that is present along the Japan coastline and is not currently known to be present in Hawai'i.
Specimens were turned over to NOAA for further identification by Bishop Museum and possible genetic identification.

Gordie Howe, Right Wing
Gordie Howe, middle, better known as "Mr. Hockey," is one of the greatest hockey players of all time. He played from 1946 until 1980, retiring at the age of 52. In 1997, Howe, almost 70 years old, signed a one-game contract with the Detroit Vipers of the International Hockey League, becoming the only player in hockey history to play in six different decades at the professional level. He played with the New England Whalers and Hartford Whalers from 1977 to 1980. His #9 jersey was retired by the Hartford Whalers in 1981. Howe holds the record for most games played in the NHL with 1,767. Pictured: The New England Whalers' Gordie Howe pokes an airborne puck away from the Quebec Nordiques' Bob Fitchner, left, and Gary Lariviere, right , during the first period of Sunday night's game at the Springfield Civic Center.

Top 10: Best Chicago theater of 2012
Of the scores of shows I reviewed in Chicago during 2012, here are the select few that, upon further consideration, I liked best of all. As is our tradition, the top 10 shows of 2012 appear in order of wonderfulness. The list does not include two shows scheduled to open after it was compiled: the tours of "War Horse" and "The Book of Mormon." For the record, I saw both of those shows on Broadway and greatly admired them. Further for the record, I rewrote this list several times; it was that difficult. All are Chicago-area shows that have opened since Jan. 1, chosen without regard to resident or touring status and without particular consideration of budget or scope. The only criterion was excellence. -- Chris Jones
