The Earl of Courtown: My Lords, that is the information I have. The noble Lord, Lord Ewing, made a point concerning traffic controllers. This system is still being installed. When it becomes fully operational later this year, many more messages to assist drivers will be able to be displayed. If local authorities can operate this system cheaper than the private sector they will win their tenders for that operation.
The Kincardine Bridge was mentioned by the noble Lord, Lord Ewing, and the noble Earl, Lord Mar and Kellie. No decision has yet been made on how a possible new bridge at Kincardine might be financed or how the position will be progressed. A decision will be taken in due course.
Lord Ewing of Kirkford: My Lords, before the noble Earl leaves that point, may I have on the record an absolute guarantee that, no tolls ever having been charged over the past 60 years that the present Kincardine bridge has been in operation, on any new bridge there will also be no tolls charged? May I have a guarantee that it will be a toll-free crossing?
The Earl of Courtown: My Lords, I cannot give the noble Lord that guarantee. I am sorry that I cannot be any more helpful.
The noble Lord, Lord Carmichael of Kelvingrove, mentioned the problem of cattle straying on to trunk roads. The terms of the DBFO contracts will include provisions for such occurrences.
A number of other matters were raised. Thenoble Lord, Lord Carmichael, and the noble Earl,Lord Mar and Kellie, referred to a complicated system in terms of the premium areas and the all-purpose network.I believe that the new system will be a great deal simpler than the present one. The existing system is managed under 32 different authorities but for the trunk road network we shall now have three premium networks and five all-purpose networks.
The noble Lord, Lord Carmichael, referred to the cost of tendering. We are not talking about peanuts. The extension of the A.74 from Carlisle to Glasgow, which will eventually be designated the M.6, is a £200 million
Lord Carmichael of Kelvingrove: My Lords, how wide will be the tendering list? It is quite important. Will there be selected lists which were half-promised by the Minister of State in another place? He said that there would be a selection because too many contractors estimated or put in a bid for the particular roads. Somehow or other the contractors need to be repaid in the next contract. Therefore the total cost to the country will be considerably higher. We are talking about millions of pounds for an estimate on a contract.
The Earl of Courtown: My Lords, we realise that costs are involved. Initially, when we come to the new system and the DBFOs, the actual tendering process might be more complicated and expensive. After the first successful DBFO contract there will not be the repetition of costs incurred by some contractors in the first instance. The tendering lists are being restricted to three or four, which keeps the total costs down. I believe that I have covered all the questions which have been raised. If I have not, I shall write to noble Lords.
The delegation of functions to the private sector which would become possible under this order is important, as otherwise it would not be possible for the private sector to show properly what it can do. The private sector would have to revert to government to carry out a range of maintenance improvement functions. Our local authority agents are not constrained in this way as existing statutes provide for delegation to them. This draft order will allow a level playing field, in that the private sector will have the same degree of control over its operations. It will be more efficient for private sector operators. I expect these efficiencies to be reflected in pricing.
In future, private sector bidders for DBFO and management and maintenance contracts will be able to submit their proposals in the knowledge that they will have as much control over their operations as is practical. Delegation to them of functions which otherwise would be for government will provide reassurance that they will not be subject to delay and unnecessary administration over matters of importance to them in the management of the roads.
We are continually working to ensure that we are able to meet ever-increasing demands on the trunk road network in ways that will provide value for money and are efficient for the road user. This order will allow us to extend the range of options which we have for managing the network. It will allow us, from a broad spread of functions, to select which functions are suitable to delegate in the particular circumstances. With traffic volumes continuing to increase, we need to be flexible to best meet the challenges which lie ahead and be responsive to changing circumstances. I believe that this order will play a vital role in helping us to achieve this.
On Question, Motion agreed to.
Lord McIntosh of Haringey rose to ask Her Majesty's Government whether they plan to introduce a prison regime for life prisoners who have been told that they can never expect to be released which will be consistent with their social, mental and physical needs as they grow older.
The noble Lord said: My Lords, at the risk of causing shock and horror to those few Members of your Lordships' House who are going to stay for this brief debate, perhaps I may start by saying that my purpose in putting down this Question is to get information. It is an old-fashioned way of using Unstarred Questions. I know that they are very often used as a basis for party political debate, but that is not my intention this evening. I want sincerely to probe the Government in more detail than they have been able to give in answer to Questions in the past about the conditions under which full-term prisoners--that is to say, prisoners who have been told that they can expect never to be released--are going to serve their sentence; in other words, to spend the rest of their lives.
Perhaps I may say at the outset two things which this Question is not about. It is not about the issue of whether there should be full-term sentences for anybody. I say that with some feeling because when I asked a Question in July last year, to which I shall refer in a moment, about the conditions under which full-term prisoners should be treated, I received while I was on holiday soon afterwards a telephone call from the Sunday Express. I told them the nature of my Question and of my interest. I told them specifically that they were not entitled to say, as a result of what I told them, that I or the Labour Party were in favour of releasing specifically--because they asked me--Myra Hindley. So what happened? The whole of the front page of the Sunday Express on the first Sunday in August was taken up with a headline saying, "Labour bid to free Myra Hindley". That was an absolute untruth, which had to be, and was, corrected. It was a lesson to me on how innocent questions can be distorted by the press. I have to repeat the nature of my concern this evening in order to make that position clear.
The second matter this Question is not about is whether the Home Secretary should make decisions. That is an issue on which the Labour Party has a view. We have come to the view that the judges, the Parole Board and the prison system as a whole are responsible for the tariff for mandatory life prisoners rather than a politician, the Home Secretary. Again, that is not something about which I am seeking information this evening, because it is not within the terms of the Question I am asking.
In June 1993, the Judicial Committee of your Lordships' House decided that mandatory life prisoners should be told of the tariff imposed on them. They should be told of any change in that tariff and given the opportunity to appeal against it as well as against the original sentence. After a considerable gap, I followed that up with a series of Questions for
The noble Baroness went on to say, as regards the conditions and in response to my third Question,
It is that Answer which I seek to have extended by the Minister when she replies to this Question this evening.
Two things have happened since then; one to me and one much more publicly. What happened to me is that representations were made on behalf of Roy Hall, a prisoner in Full Sutton Prison. He is 72 years old. He has been imprisoned for multiple murders. I hasten to say that, as I understand it, all the prisoners who have been told that they are never going to be released are multiple murderers and probably sadistic murderers as well. Therefore, there is no question of sympathy for the crimes or lack of sympathy for the victims of the crimes concerned.
Roy Hall is in Full Sutton Prison. He is 72 years old. He has been told that he cannot have a television set, radio or tape recorder in his room because those are the prison rules. He has been deprived of the work that he had been doing for a number of years in the prison kitchens. His letter to me was written in despair because he does not see how he is going to have any sort of self-respect or decent life for the rest of his life. He is an old man. Surely he is not a danger to the public at his age. That was the first and perhaps the more private concern which prompted me to table this Unstarred Question.
The second is somewhat fortuitous in the sense that on Friday the report of the full inspection by Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons into conditions at Durham Prison was published. It is generally a favourable report, recognising that substantial improvements have been made at Durham Prison between the previous inspection in 1992 and the inspection in 1995 which was the subject of this report as a result of refurbishment and changes of policy. I am the first to recognise that.
The report was written under the then chief inspectorship of Judge Tumim, but is now published in the name of Sir David Ramsbotham, Her Majesty's new Chief Inspector of Prisons. The inspectors make points about Myra Hindley, who is a female prisoner in the hospital there following a serious fall. At paragraph 4.31 the report records the fact that after 30 years in prison she was past the point where she felt that she could mix in normal association with other prisoners whose attention was focused on their own eventual release dates.
The inspectors make a number of specific recommendations and outline some principles which they say should govern the treatment of that small group of prisoners, the 20 or so men and women who have been formally told that they will never be released. I think that we can all agree with the first recommendation which states that security should be sufficient to prevent escape. Secondly, such prisoners should be given as much autonomy over their lives as possible; for example, they should be able, if they wish, to cook for themselves. Thirdly, they should be afforded as much privacy as possible, consonant with the need to prevent escape. Fourthly, they should have suitable occupations, including the use of a typewriter or computer. Fifthly, as they are never to be released, they should have as many opportunities to receive visits as possible away from the normal visiting area. They should also have additional access to telephones. Finally, providing that their behaviour merits these privileges, they should have as much freedom as possible to make decisions for themselves about the way in which they lead their lives in prison.
The inspectors couched the report in general terms although in the press release issued by the chief inspector those recommendations are related to a particular prisoner rather than in general terms. The question that I am asking the Government is: how far do they agree with the inspectors' policy recommendations?. I was very disappointed to see the Prison Service press release which accompanied the report on Friday, which stated:
My question is: is that the case? Is that the view of the Government as well as of the Prison Service? Is that the Government's view about the other full-term prisoners to whom the report does not refer, but to whom all the considerations which Judge Tumim and his colleagues felt were appropriate in the case in question should presumably also apply?
I do not ask those questions in any spirit of antagonism. I apologise if in referring to the case of Roy Hall I have caused the Minister any difficulty since I did not give her warning. If the noble Baroness cannot reply on that example, I shall fully understand; indeed, I do not expect it. However, generalising to a very limited extent, he is a man of 72; is there any plan for a special regime for people who are, let us say, over the age of 70--that is, over retirement age--who will never be released?
In the more general case, looking at Judge Tumim's recommendations for Durham Prison, what is the Government's view of those recommendations? How do the Government feel about the Prison Service's response to the report? To what extent do they feel, as I do, that there should be separate and special provision--not perks, but simply a recognition of their circumstances--for those prisoners who will never be released?

text: SURVEY RESULTS. A survey of Episcopalians found that strong majorities of bishops, clergy and laity favor the ordination of women to the priesthood, a practice by the church since 1976. The poll, conducted by the Gallup organization for the Prayerbook Society, which wants to keep using a 1928 prayer book along with a 1979 revision, found the laity strongly favors freedom to worship with either book. Clergy are split on the issue. The poll also asked preferences among four candidates for the office of presiding bishop, but withheld results at the request of Bishop John M. Allin, who this year completes a 12-year term. His successor will be elected at a fall convention.

Rat memory implants, vaccines, and uncontacted Amazonians
Our favorites from the week
From Douglas Main:
We have explored most every nook and cranny of the earth, but hidden in a remote part of the Amazon jungle, there are still some people who haven't had contact with the rest of humanity.
Democrat Barney Frank of Massachusetts and Texas Republican Ron Paul have introduced the first bill to remove marijuana from the list of federally prohibited substances and cede control to the states. Although it has almost no hope of passing, we can hope.
Carl Zimmer describes the most poisonous animal in the United States, the rough-skinned newt, and how it got to be that way: run-away evolutionary competition with resistant foes.
From Katie Palmer:
Statistics can be awesome, but they can also be used in duplicitous ways. Case in point: this data wrangling by a physician/epidemiologist team, showing a 35 percent increase in infant mortality on the West coast of the U.S. after the nuclear disaster in Japan. Michael Moyer at Scientific American takes them down a few notches.
In a remarkable study, neuroscientists recorded the brain signals involved in encoding a task memory in rats–and then, having given the rats a memory-blocking drug, were able to make them "remember" the task by stimulating their hippocampus with that same sequence of signals. Though a long way from consolidating and enhancing human memories, it's a fascinating first step toward "memory prostheses."
An interesting tangent in the ongoing saga surrounding low vaccination rates: Seth Mnookin, while at the Pacific Health Summit, blogs that while France is undergoing a major measles epidemic, Ghana hasn't seen a single case since 2002.
From Sabrina Richards:
Research on rats is providing clues at how we might "implant" procedural memories into the brain. A little space-agey, to be sure.
Scratch & Sniff Silly Putty? Not quite, but scientists have figured out how to employ Silly Putty's unique chemical structure to sidle toward the next step in the virtual reality experience: changing scents.
Humanity 1, HIV 0? Not Rocket Science has a lovely post explaining how scientists might be able to make an end-run around HIV's devious ways.

Sanders wants government limits on records access
Senator opposed Patriot Act renewal
Independent U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont says there should be a limit on government access to phone records.
Sanders opposed the renewal of the Patriot Act in 2011 because he felt it gave the government too much authority to monitor private phone records.
He tells Vermont Public Radio his worst fears came true last week when it was revealed that the federal government had been secretly obtaining phone and Internet records of millions of people.
The Obama administration has defended the programs, but Sanders says terrorist activities could be prevented using less intrusive techniques.
He says he wants to amend the Patriot Act to require the government to prove it has probable cause before gathering information on a specific person.

Last week we gave you a preview of Grant Morrison and Graphic India's latest project, the animated, comic-inspired 18 Days. Today, as part of Geek Week's Global Geekery Day, Graphic India is premiering the retelling of the Eastern legend of the Mahabharata, the longest epic in world literature. The story centers on an 18 day war between 18 armies (originally divided into 18 books as well). Morrison has updated the story to include super soldiers and genetically engineered elephants, but it stills carries the weight of a culture's legacy.
In the first episode, find out the history of the four ages and witness the beginning of the end of the age of Gods and the birth of the age of man. Check out the first episode now:
During Comic-Con I was lucky enough to have a discussion with Grant and Graphic India's Sharad Devarajan and Gotham Chopra about the new animated series and how they set about bringing a historical legend to modern audiences. Plus, we talk more about those genetically engineered elephants.

LAWTON, OK --An Oklahoma man ended up stuck in his city's drainage pipes for two days, all because he lost a $20 bill.
The man told police he dropped the money into a storm drain so he went in after it. Apparently, he got lost and couldn't find a way back out.
Finally, after two days, some students walking home heard him yelling for help from a manhole. They called 911.
Officers removed the manhole and found the man. He was a bit disoriented and dehydrated, but otherwise fine.

Chinese Diaspora in South East Asia Becoming a "Virtual Nation"
Noviscape asserts that "increasing sophistication of linkages among Chinese diaspora across the region, at political, cultural as well as commercial levels, leading to an identifiable emergent community."
"The diaspora's economic power, citizenship and ethnic solidarity contribute increasingly to the rise of a new paradigm of the 'Virtual nation' vis-à-vis the 'Nation-state'."
The newsletter claims that, despite it's emergent creation, it is now willfully excercising power:
"As the key to Southeast Asia's future growth and development, Southeast Asia's Chinese diaspora is increasingly flexing its economic power; the patterns of money flow generated will provide a signature for the next wave of economic globalisation in the region."
This diaspora is proportionately largest in Singapore, it has "the highest concentration of ethnic Chinese [3 million] or 75% of its population."
Novispace posits that the power of this "virtual nation" may be held in check by concerns of disproportionate influence (but it doesn't say exactly who this concern is stemming from).
"Concerns over political influence over the Chinese diaspora by the Chinese government"
"Rising concern over signals of Chinese ambitions to hegemony, and especially, a rising suspicion over its intentions in regard to control over natural resources worldwide, not only in Asia itself."
Implications from Noviscape:
The newsletter asserts that "the role of geography is gradually been ousted from its role as the key identifier of a nation."
It cites a 1999 quote from Stephen Krasner "…the characteristics that are associated with sovereignty – territory, autonomy, recognition, and control – do not provide an accurate description of the actual practices that have characterized many entities that have been conventionally viewed as sovereign states".
The newsletter chalks some of this up to market forces:
"Increasing globalization is reconstituting the economic landscape, and erodes the concept of sovereignty as an economic and political entity, and countries / national governments have diminishing control over actual practice, at least in the area of trade, compared to a highly globalized corporate sector."
The newsletter also implies that people are becoming aware of this contradiction:
"Support for the concept of 'nation state' is steadily declining. Even in Singapore, murmurs of political discontent are emerging from the middle classes- unthinkable just a few years ago."

A word to the wise. A Vegan diet is incredible. It's sustainable, and ethical. Its good for the body and soul. But we can run into vitamin/mineral defficiencies long term just as well, if not easier than omnivores. Vegan junk food and omnivore junk food is all the same. I fucked myself over pretty good. Given part of it was due to an underlying medical condition, but I did not watch my diet close enough and paid for it. I had to give up Veganism and didn't know if I'd get back here. It's been, and will be a long fight back to 100%.

Geophysical Imaging of Shallow Gas Hydrates Using Electromagnetic Techniques: A Pilot Study in the Gulf Ocean
DOEI Project Funded: 2002
Proposed ResearchGas hydrate, an ice-like solid composed of water and natural gas, can potentially store large quantities of methane, and so its abundance on the seafloor has important ramifications for the global carbon budget, for climate, and as a future energy resource. Breakdown of hydrate has also been implicated in catastrophic failure of regions of the continental slope, causing landslides and tsunamis. High-resolution geophysical techniques that image the shallowest occurrences of gas hydrate hold great potential for providing measures of the regional methane flux, but large uncertainties remain about how hydrates are distributed within seafloor sediments, the importance of localized concentrations of hydrate, and the role that focused fluid flow plays in controlling these localized concentrations.
We will run a pilot study to test the ability of a new towed electromagnetic system to delineate regions of shallow gas hydrate in the Gulf of Mexico. This survey will be a proof of concept, collecting sample lines in well-surveyed areas. Our results will be used to develop a strategy for obtaining maps of shallow hydrate distributions which can be used to test flux-based models of hydrate formation, and to examine links between shallow hydrates and faults and other conduits that channel methane and fluids to the seafloor.

Professional Liability for Business Insurance
Film Emporium offers cheap rates on quality coverage for your E&O Insurance. Errors and omissions insurance, also called professional liability insurance, protects you if a client claims that your services caused them to suffer a financial loss.
Many professional service companies choose to purchase E&O insurance policies, which are typically issued in increments of $1 million and have per-claim deductibles ranging from $1,000 to $25,000.
Some insurance companies are reluctant to issue professional liability policies, while others specialize in policies for specific professions. However, we have access to multiple insurance carriers and work with a wide range of small business professionals. This allows us to find E&O insurance coverage that is not only comprehensive, but fits the budget of small and mid-sized businesses.
It is important to note that almost all professional liability insurance policies are sold on a "claims-made" basis. This means that the insurance only covers work performed while the policy is in force, and for claims actually filed during the term of the policy. If you cancel your E&O insurance policy without arranging for an extended reporting period, coverage would end, and any claims submitted after the cancellation would not be covered, even though the work was performed while the policy was in effect.
It is also important to know that there are exclusions in every errors and omissions insurance policy. Before you purchase this type of policy, you will want to think about the most dangerous threats and professional risks for your business and look for a policy that covers those specific risks. Feel free to contact us or fill out our online application to receive a quote on a professional liability insurance policy that fits your needs.
How does professional liability insurance protect your business?
No one expects to make an error or omission that harms a client, but mistakes do happen. Even if you are not at fault, a disgruntled client could bring a lawsuit against you. Many honest, hard-working business owners have been ruined by lawsuits that, although unjustified, diverted the owner's time and resources away from running the business.
When you have professional liability insurance any lawsuit should trigger a call to us. We will work with you to initiate the claim. You can return to the priorities of running your business, confident that the insurance company, which would have to pay any judgment against you (up to policy limits), will be protecting your mutual best interests throughout every step of the legal process.

Support the We the People Amendment,
and we just might get to find out.
Recent Supreme Court rulings mean that today our government is controlled by powerful special interests, including global corporations and the very wealthy, instead of all the people.
We must take it back.
We the People Massachusetts supports a U.S. constitutional amendment to reaffirm that:
The rights protected by the Constitution of the United States are the rights of individual human beings only, and
Money spent to influence elections is not protected free speech and may be regulated to ensure equal access to the political process for all Americans.
Welcome to the website of We the People Massachusetts, a non-partisan, all-volunteer network of citizens dedicated to the cause of democracy.

Fletcher does it again, sets record
Northwestern Oklahoma State University cross-country runner Clayton Fletcher didn't hold that second-best finish in school history record all that long.
Well, actually he still does. But he's moved up a notch.
Just a week after setting the second-best time in a cross-country meet in the program's history, Fletcher, a former Kilgore High School runner, now owns the top finish, as well. Running in the rain and mud in Hays, Kan., in the Fort Hays State University Tiger Open last Saturday, Fletcher finished the 8K race in 27 minutes, 2 seconds, the best time in an 8K in NWSU history. He finished 13th overall.
The week prior, Fletcher, who ran in the UIL state meet in his senior season at KHS back in fall, 2014, Fletcher had set the second-fastest time in program history in a meet in Fayetteville, Ark.
Next up for Fletcher and his team is their conference championship meet, the Great American Conference Championships, in Magnolia, Ark., on Oct. 21.
KHS third, fifth in Lindale; will run in District 15-4A meet today in Gilmer
In their final tune-up before the District 15-4A cross-country meet today in Gilmer, the Kilgore High School teams did quite well in Lindale's Eagle Invitational last weekend.
Kilgore's boys, coached by Phillip Lane, finished third overall as a team; the Lady Bulldogs, coached by Heidi Hagan, finished fifth.
Both KHS teams were to compete today in the 15-4A meet at Gilmer. Lane's Bulldogs are aiming for their fifth straight district championship. Hagan's Lady 'Dogs are much-improved, and have a chance to win a title of their own.
See an update on how the district meet went for Kilgore later today on kilgorenewsherald.com, and coverage in Saturday's News Herald print edition.
At Lindale, Kilgore got a 15th-overall finish from freshman Austin Bain, who finished the course in 17 minutes, 40.86 seconds. Finishing 20th overall and second on Kilgore's team was Ab Herrera (17:57.81). Victor Rangel was Kilgore's third finisher (18:14.62), Gregorio Alvarez was next (18:22.95), and then Elijah Williams (19:03.25) and Mitchell Molandez (19:05.33) rounding out the field.
Zoe Craven, a freshman for the girls, continued her rapid rise, finishing second overall in 13:04.36. Emma Taylor was 19th overall, second for KHS (14:32.35). Maria Whitakar was the third-fastest finisher for Kilgore (14:47.30), followed by Jacqueline Estrella (16:17.88), Estrella Galvan (16:20.05), Skyelar Howell (16:27.41), Meliza Vega (16:46.05) and Cristina Rosas (16:48.40).
Gregg Co. DU banquet Thursday
The 48th Annual Gregg County Ducks Unlimited banquet is this Thursday, Oct. 12, at 5:30 p.m. at Longview's Maude Cobb Convention and Activity Center.
Tickets to the event are $50 for a single, $80 for a couple, and $25 for children under 18. Each ticket includes all the evening's activities and a year's membership in Ducks Unlimited. Special sponsor packages with reserved seating are also available.
A key element of this year's DU banquet is the presentation of a special flag to Longview police chief Mike Bishop. This flag has the blue line across the center and is often referred to as "the thin blue line flag." This flag, with the blue line, expresses solidarity with the police, commemorates all law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty, and symbolizes the relationship between the community and law enforcement as protectors of that community.
The event's activities include a catered meal, a live auction featuring special Ducks Unlimited items, a silent auction, several raffles and special children's activities.
Volunteers from Kilgore High School DU, the current Texas state champion high school chapter, will be on hand to help with all the youth activities and to raffle off a special DU shotgun. The money they raise will go toward their efforts to win a third consecutive Texas high school DU state title.
For more information, contact chairperson Sharon Denton at (903) 720-1978. Information, including location and ticket information, is also available on the DU website at www.ducks.org/texas/events.
Founded in 1937, Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest wetland conservation organization. In its 80 years, DU has conserved, restored and protected more than 14 million acres of critical wetland habitat throughout the North American continent. These areas provide habitat for more than 900 documented wildlife species. For more information about DU, visit the organization's website, www.ducks.org.

An alarm has sounded over the nation's natural-gas pipelines that snake underground across the lower 48 states.
Fourteen people are dead, dozens injured and entire neighborhoods are gone in the wake of three massive pipeline explosions in San Bruno, Calif.; Philadelphia and Allentown, Pa., over the past six months.
The problem is so serious The National Transportation Safety Board is set to hold hearings this week to gather additional information into the San Bruno explosion, and any information that could help prevent further incidents.
More than 2,800 significant gas pipeline accidents have been recorded across the country since 1990 -- a third of them causing deaths and significant injuries. There are more than 210 natural gas pipeline systems, made of cast iron, steel, and plastic with more than 21,000 miles running through heavily populated areas. That's a dangerous combination, say watchdog groups.
Rick Kessler, with the watchdog group Pipeline Safety Trust, tells Fox News, "Pipelines are really the safest way to transport natural gas, and the question always is, 'are they as safe as they could or should be?' We do have aging infrastructure and some more than others, a lot of systems are very up-to-date, very safe, but a lot of systems are, in fact, aging. Some are so old that you can't run the most modern inspection devices through them, and that's a problem." Kessler adds, "Cast iron pipe will fail and the law always envisioned that these things would be replaced over time.
"Well, here we are more than a century later and we still have these things in the ground… they are kind of a ticking time bomb."
By law, private and public pipeline operators are required to conduct leak surveys, which continue to be one of the most important ways to ensure the safety of the lines.
While the pipeline that broke in Allentown was more than 80 years old and made of cast iron, experts say age is just one factor in judging the integrity of a pipe, adding, old lines don't necessarily mean imminent disaster.
Joseph Swope, communications manager with UGI Utilities in Pennsylvania explains, "other factors include the leak history of the pipe, the composition, the population density around the pipe, the geography, the road, the traffic patterns."
Swope explains, "The equipment used is very sensitive, but it's actually very easy to use. The people who use those surveys have to be certified and qualified. It's not something that anybody can go down to the Home Depot and pick up -- a you know, survey a gas sniffer and figure out what's going on -- but they go through very rigorous training. They're qualified to do that work and to identify what they're looking at."
Federal pipeline regulators say safety is a top concern. The Obama administration is implementing new regulations that include additional pipeline inspectors and establish more stringent leak detection measures. But as more incidents are being reported, nerves are being rattled for some who have concerns of what lies beneath their front yards and homes.
Richard Kuprewicz, an independent neutral pipeline safety expert and president of Accufacts Inc., in Redmond Wash., says if people are concerned they need to start asking questions. Kuprewicz suggests contacting your local pipeline operators to ask about the regulations that are in place for the types of lines being used where you live, and to find out if those operators are following the regulations.
He says you should be able to get good general information from a pipeline operator, and if you don't, contact your local congressman.

We are now uniquely positioned to offer our schools continuity of care in multiple disciplines.
(PRWEB) August 05, 2014
WebWise Tutors, LLC, a premier provider of online tutoring services, is pleased to announce that it is expanding its online services to better meet the needs of the special education population.
Due to the enormous success achieved in helping students become thriving independent learners, along with the increased demand for additional services from current partner schools throughout the country, WebWise Tutors has raised additional capital and expanded its service model.
Effective immediately, WebWise Tutors and its new sister company, WebWise Therapy Services will now become subsidiaries of a newly established parent company, WebWise Education, LLC.
Moving forward, WebWise Therapy Services will address this increased demand by expanding the scope of its special education services to include: speech, occupational and physical therapy, specialized academic support, adaptive physical education, counseling and assistive technology.
Since WebWise Therapy Services is now able to provide continuity of services under one roof, schools will no longer need to go to different vendors for their special education and therapy services, thus providing them with a time saving and cost effective pathway to focus on what matters most—the needs of their students.
To ensure that the additional services are added in a seamless manner while maintaining the integrity current schools have come to expect, WebWise Therapy Services has partnered with Robyn Chu, MOT, OTR/L. Ms. Chu brings 10 years of diverse clinical experience, both as an online therapist and the owner of Growing Healthy Children, a state-of-the-art, multi-disciplinary sensory-based therapy practice.
"I am excited about this new opportunity to help WebWise Education expand its base," remarked Ms. Chu. "We are now uniquely positioned to offer our schools continuity of care in multiple disciplines. This is a comprehensive approach, with an emphasis on collaboration."
"By expanding our company and partnering with Ms. Chu, we're not only able to offer more services, but strengthen our core values and mission as a company, bringing her years of online experience immediately to the schools and students we service," announced Chris Spohn, CEO of WebWise Education.

Industrialization a Threat to the World
Japan is one of the larges industrialized countries in this world. They consume natural resources like no other. According to documents 1 and 2 they consume 10 times more then the average Bangladeshi and produce 5 times more pollution. They vary in numbers is great considering they are both industrialized countries. The difference is that Japan produces for more of the world they are the primary distributors of electronics and auto mobiles to America.
According to document 3 rich countries's although production most of the pollution china will out produce the amount of pollution buy 2015. People attempt to cut down on pollution but is that really possible? The conveniences of the world depend on pollution. . Although the pollution is killing us would man kind give up the life of luxury for the extension of life? What are the attitudes of people who would rather enjoy life now then to live a longer one? These people are the ones who don't mind industrialization.
Now the subject of people using fossil fuels scientist believe this can be another alternative for burning oil for fuel. Fossil Fuels are fuels formed from dead plant and animal remains. Yet the question is how would they go about gathering these fuels? Digging up many sites across America around our rain forest and around our regular forest this also can be detrimental to our environment.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is accelerating diplomatic efforts to get Israel and the Palestinians back to peace talks although there is little evidence the two sides are ready to resume direct negotiations.
With most Mideast experts focused on the crisis in Syria and political upheaval in Egypt, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has stepped up contacts with Israeli and Palestinian officials over the past week to persuade them to return to the table, beginning with a high-level meeting between Israeli Deputy Premier Shaul Mofaz and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Clinton met on Wednesday with chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat and Mofaz, a center-left politician who has said peace with the Palestinians should be an Israeli priority. Last week, Clinton met Israel's lead negotiator, Yitzhak Molcho, and spoke by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Abbas.
U.S. officials say the goal is to improve the atmosphere for direct talks that broke down three years ago and have yet to be resuscitated despite the administration's multiple attempts. Recent developments, including announcements of new Israeli settlement construction and attacks from Gaza into Israel, have done nothing to improve the prospects for talks.
"We are working hard at keeping these parties working and talking, and trying to keep them committed to this process," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Wednesday. "The process is still very much alive. I don't dispute the fact that we've had some bad incidents on the ground this week ... but that is further to why these parties need to stay engaged."
Erekat, speaking to reporters after meeting with Clinton, said the Palestinians want to restart the negotiations but repeated the longstanding Palestinian demand that they can't do so until and unless Israel stops settlement activity.
"We want to resume negotiations," he said. "We are not against negotiations."
"The Israeli prime minister has a choice to make: settlements or peace," Erekat said. "Because the question is: If you want two states, why are you raising settlements on the land that is supposed to be Palestine?"
The Palestinians view settlement construction as a sign of bad faith and say there is no point in talking as long as Israel builds homes for its citizens on occupied lands that they claim for part of their eventual state. More than 500,000 Israelis now live in Jewish settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
Erekat said Abbas is studying a proposal to meet with Mofaz, the leader of what had been Israel's main opposition party until the hawkish Netanyahu brought it into government last month. Mofaz told a Washington think tank on Tuesday that he believes a peace agreement with the Palestinians should be Israel's most important bilateral goal.
Nuland would not comment on whether the administration was trying to broker such a meeting but said the U.S. is "looking for as much direct engagement between Israelis and Palestinians as we can have."
"Any combination of Israelis and Palestinians getting together and working on their issues would be a step in the right direction," she said.
Quiet informal meetings between Erekat and Molcho have been going on for weeks since the end of formal but technical talks mediated by Jordan earlier this year. But officials on both sides said the agenda has been modest and stressed there was no breakthrough in sight.

TWO FOR THE ROAD / Peukalokyydillä vihille / Två på vift (Due per la strada, GB 1967) PC: Stanley Donen Films. P+D: Stanley Donen. SC: Frederick Raphael. DP: Christopher Challis. M: Henry Mancini. With Audrey Hepburn (Joanna Wallace), Albert Finney (Mark Wallace). 111 min. From: Twentieth Century Fox.
Presenta Stanley Donen
E-subtitles in Italian by Sub-Ti
Two for the Road is a cult movie in the true sense of the word. I had never seen it before, but I can understand very well that there is a cult. This is a one-of-a-kind film full of invention. It is a comedy of modern relationships, a road movie like Rossellini's Voyage to Italy but in comedy mode. Audrey Hepburn is delightful but I don't care about Albert Finney's character. - In a good comedy there is in my opinion always also a perspective of profound sorrow (qf. It's Always Fair Weather) but I found none in this film. To my taste Stanley Donen also tries here too hard to be clever. Less would be more. - But this was the first impression, and I look forward to see Two for the Road again soon. - The print was ok, the quality of the image variable.

USA Carry was created in September of 2007. Founder Luke McCoy had started Nevada Carry which was a website similar to USA Carry but focusing only on Nevada. After deciding to move out of Nevada, he wanted to launch a website that covered every state. Being a web developer since 1999, USA Carry was quickly born. It launched with concealed carry information by state, concealed carry permit reciprocity maps and concealed carry forums. The carry maps quickly became the most popular feature since no one else had an interactive permit map with the ability to select multiple permits.
Over the years, USA Carry has grown into one of the internet's leading concealed carry resource communities. The USA Carry Forums have over 50,000 members which are actively posting every day. The site has also expended to include concealed carry articles, training, news and other firearm related articles. Other new features include the Directory where users can find firearm instructors, gun stores, gun shops, gun ranges and gunsmiths and the Permit Reminder which allows users to get email reminders when they need to renew their permits.

A. L. Gators may not actually be located in a southern swamp, but at least this Florida-themed bar has a low elevation address near the Chesapeake Bay.
And even though it is not all that long a drive from Baltimore to Riviera Beach, the trip through the landfill-and-marina terrain of northern Anne Arundel County seems to take you far from the city.
Not that the destination is entirely unfamiliar. A. L. Gators, which holds 1,000 people, occupies the site of what was once the rock club Network. You'll run into some of the same hard rockers here, but the music and the crowd have become more diverse. After all, everybody likes going to the beach.

It took me a while to finally watch this drama and I have to say I was a little disappointed. I didn't like the way the female lead was treated theoughout the drama. Although they were dating, it didn't seem like it. When he left me on the side of the road, we would have been over at that point. Also, she did what most stupid women do–put her boyfriend before her future. It had potential but fell short. Strange, but I so wanted her to be with the president. There was no doubt he cared for her.

just started to watch this series. this was finished long, long ago, but i can't stand all chefs not covering their hair properly while working in the kitchen. although this is just a drama, even that little detail alone should be depicted. but i guess the producers wanted to show the faces of the actors.

More than 1,000 Territorial Army soldiers came to London from all over Britain for a colourful and dramatic pageant to mark the volunteer army's 100th anniversary.
The mood was generally upbeat. The TA was praised for proving its value in Iraq and Afghanistan, with more than 15,000 members deployed in those two countries since 2003.
But the deaths last week of four soldiers in Afghanistan – three of them members of the TA – gave the occasion a sharp, poignant theme.
Trooper Jessica Beattie, 30, a chartered surveyor from Dulwich, who has been in the TA for three years, said: "This is a celebration of the TA's success, but the loss of our colleagues was a clear reminder that we are not playing games. We all know the risks when we volunteer to go to war zones, but what happened last week brings home that death is a reality."
General Sir Richard Dannatt, the Chief of the General Staff, told the 5,000 spectators at Horse Guards Parade: "Eleven TA soldiers have paid the ultimate sacrifice and laid down their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2003; three this week in Afghanistan. With their memories and sacrifices very much in mind, our work nevertheless goes on."
He said the TA's contribution was "very much appreciated and valued" by professional soldiers.
The Prince of Wales, who attended with the Duchess of Cornwall and the Earl of Wessex, referred to the "lives that have been so tragically lost".
The rest of his speech was devoted to praising the TA soldiers' dedication, their families for the sacrifices that they made, and employers who gave time off for "drill nights, training weekends and annual camps".
The Prince, who is Colonel-in-Chief of the TA, said the Army was "absolutely vital" and "the envy of other nations" who fill us all with "unashamed pride".
The TA was a key pillar in the defence of the realm," he said, "a unique and indispensable asset to this country".
The spectators were treated to a theatrical display featuring actors, singers and historical vehicles.
The oldest surviving TA member, 104-year-old Edwin Cooper, was brought on to the stage in a wheelchair and given a loud round of applause.
Mr Cooper, a former lance corporal from Abergele, north Wales, said later: "The TA has improved a lot since I was a member during the Second World War. I'd love to join today if they would have me."
Luke Cole, 22, from Wolverhampton, who was recently awarded the Military Cross for gallantry in Afghanistan, said: "Every loss of a soldier, either TA or professional, is felt by all of us. It's important that we take time out to reflect on those people who have given their lives to their country."
Another decorated TA soldier, Walter Harris, 87, from Bracknell, Berkshire, who was awarded the Military Cross for bravery in the Second World War, said: "It's great to be here and see so many TA members. They have a much more important role today, and they give invaluable support to the Army."

Beautiful baby room decorating
Info Guru, Catalogs.com
Rate This Article:
Thank You For Voting
Follow these tips to create a perfect room for your baby.Listen carefully—you can just hear it: little steps, the rustle of stork-wings, cheering in the distance. Just what you'd expect when a prince or princess is on his or her way to your house. Welcoming a new baby is a joyful event, and we all hope to recognize our new family member by decorating a beautiful baby room.
Creating the Perfect Atmosphere
Many families will choose a décor in yellow, soft green, white or a mixture of (usually) pastel colors. In general, soft colors provide a restful atmosphere for a baby's room. While visual stimulus is important for your baby's development, toys and other elements in the baby's environment usually provide enough stimulation, and quiet colors can encourage relaxation and sleep.
Baby Furniture Essentials
Baby furniture can contribute to the quiet atmosphere. Ideally, you will need a crib, a changing table, and a dresser for clothes and extra blankets. Since even the most beautiful babies have their messy moments, look for easily cleanable, durable finishes when you shop for baby furniture.
- A bassinet or basket-bed makes a cozy nest for a newborn.
- If the baby's room is small, finding a dresser that can double as a changing table is a real space-saver.
- Examine cribs for solid construction; your baby will stand, play and jump in a crib before it is time to move to a big-girl/big-boy bed.
- A good addition to a baby's room is a good-sized mirror (you will be surprised at how soon and how often your baby responds to 'See the baby? See Mommy?').
- Another useful piece is a comfortable rocking chair or glider. There will be times when falling asleep is hard, and a baby will move more quickly into sleep if he/she is cuddled on a relaxed lap.
Whatever your choice of furniture, the linen department gives you a wide number of choices for defining the look of your baby's room. Again, quiet colors make sense. Some babies respond strongly to bright colors or jazzy patterns (a wonderful way to determine your baby's response is to select two different blankets for tummy-time; some babies definitely show more energy on a brightly-colored patterned blanket, and you'd be happy not to see this reaction at sleepy-time).
Even within a quiet palate of colors, babies are intrigued by patterns very early on. Whether it's daisies, boats or bunnies, a pattern will enhance both your décor and your baby's attention-span. You may also be able to find artwork that coordinates with your overall decorating scheme. It's worth checking catalogs that specialize in baby furniture and room décor.
Shopping While Pregnant
Whether you prefer modern or traditional furniture, you should be able to find something compatible with your overall décor if that is important to you. If shopping while pregnant is tiring, check out the wealth of baby furniture available in catalogs. Catalog shopping often lets you see coordinated or matching pieces together, which may not be the case in a store (by the time you have hiked from a long line of cribs to a long line of dressers, you may no longer be completely sure what matches what).
Catalogs may also contain transitional pieces like armoires, bookcases or toy-shelves that will carry on your décor when your baby becomes a toddler and makes the move from crib to bed. Catalogs may also offer coordinated floor-coverings, bed-linens and window-treatments, which saves you further trips to a variety of stores.
Having a baby is one of the most exciting experiences in the world. With a little planning, decorating your baby's room is a great way to prepare for your prince or princess to arrive. A beautiful room for the most beautiful baby in the world—what could be better?

Fall 2018 Freshman
Steps to Enroll
Step 7—Meet Immunization Requirements
Please note: Information on this page was updated on May 9, 2018.
All students must meet specific immunization requirements. If you have graduated from a California public high school, you may have already satisfied these requirements. To meet these requirements, you should submit medical documentation or laboratory evidence as proof of immunity to Student Health Services. This may be done in person at New Student Orientation or by uploading documents and entering dates to the secure web portal, HealtheConnect.sdsu.edu. New students will have access to HealtheConnect.sdsu.edu beginning June 1, 2018.
If you do not provide proof of required immunizations during your first semester at SDSU, you will not be allowed to register for classes the next semester. Students may also receive vaccinations or testing for immunity for a fee at Student Health Services, which provides a full range of medical services for students. You may also discuss immunizations with your family physician or county health department. Please visit the Student Health Services website for the latest information regarding immunization requirements.
Measles and Rubella—Required for All Students
If you were born on or after January 1, 1957, you must present proof of immunity against measles and rubella during your first semester at SDSU. One way is to submit proof of two vaccinations for measles and rubella given after your first birthday and after 1968. You may also submit laboratory evidence of immunity or medical documentation that you have previously had one or both of the diseases. You should submit medical documentation or laboratory evidence as proof of immunity to Student Health Services through its secure web portal, HealtheConnect.sdsu.edu.
Hepatitis B—Required for All Students
First-time enrollees age 18 or under are required to present proof of immunity to Hepatitis B during their first semester. Requirements may be satisfied by providing proof of three hepatitis B immunizations or a blood test (titer) showing immunity. Three doses are required over a four to six month period. You must provide proof of immunity or begin the vaccine series prior to the registration deadline of your second semester or you will not be able to register. The series must be completed prior to the registration deadline of your third semester or you will not be able to register. You should submit medical documentation or laboratory evidence as proof of immunity to Student Health Services through its secure web portal, HealtheConnect.sdsu.edu.
Meningococcal Disease—Recommended
Although immunization against this infection is not a requirement, all entering freshmen, particularly those living in residence halls, are recommended to consider vaccination. One vaccine is fairly effective against the majority of the strains (serogroups A, C, W, & Y) of this bacterium, but unfortunately its immunity effect declines over a few years. A second booster dose is recommended between the ages of 16 to 18 for those students who received their first vaccination at age 15 or younger. A different vaccine, effective against meningococcal serogroup B, is recommended for high risk individuals age 10 or older, but may be administered to 16- to 23-year-olds (preferably at ages 16 to 18). As the risk of becoming infected with meningococcus declines with age, there is less of a reason to immunize older students, although they may do so if they desire, or if recommended by a physician.
Other Recommended Immunizations
Other immunizations also protect students against these potentially severe infections: influenza (flu), tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, mumps, chicken pox (varicella), human papilloma virus (HPV), and Hepatitis A.
Health Care Insurance
SDSU Student Health Services is a vital program, but it does not cover medical emergencies, after-hours care, a full range of medical specialists, hospital facilities, or health care services outside the area. It is recommended that students arrange with their health plan to have a local primary care physician. While the university does not provide accident or health insurance coverage to students, we do have several services available to assist students with obtaining or utilizing their health care.
Health insurance or health care is an important part of taking care of one's own health and well-being and there are mandates and policies that require individuals to have health insurance. Students can meet with a Community Resource Specialist at the Health Promotion Department to learn more about their health insurance, find local providers who accept their insurance, know where to go in an emergency, or to access specialists. Student can also meet with a staff member if they are looking to obtain health care or to want to better understand their options. To make an appointment call (619) 594-4133. Students can also access health care options through www.CoveredCA.com.

Haruki Murakami Quotes About BalanceQuotes about: Balance
In this world, there is no absolute good, no absolute evil," the man said. "Good and evil are not fixed, stable entities, but are continually trading places. A good may be transformed into an evil in the next second. And vice versa. Such was the way of the world that Dostoevsky depicted in The Brothers Karamazov. The most important thing is to maintain the balance between the constantly moving good and evil. If you lean too much in either direction, it becomes difficult to maintain actual morals. Indeed, balance itself is the good.
She's kind of funny looking. Her face is out of balance--broad forehead, button nose, freckled cheeks, and pointy ears. A slammed-together, rough sort of face you can't ignore. Still, the whole package isn't so bad. For all I know maybe she's not so wild about her own looks, but she seems comfortable with who she is, and that's the important thing.
