In a classic Oh, Now You Tell Us moment, Philadelphia owner Jeffrey Lurie has suddenly realized that, aw, jeez, maybe it wasn't actually the best of ideas to bring in wide receiver Terrell Owens.
Not one usually to second-guess himself, Lurie said if he had to do it over again, he never would have brought Owens to Philadelphia. The Eagles went to the Super Bowl during Owens' first year and then fell to 6-10 during last season, in which Owens' presence or absence created a circus-like atmosphere.
"Looking back on it, you could say there was one year that was great and the second year was a disaster," said Lurie during a nearly 30-minute news conference. "Nobody should be able to be as disruptive and really cut the energy of a team down like what happened this past year. So I think we all learned from that."
We're not so such we'd feel the same way, were we in Lurie's position: Owens did, after all, put the team in a position to go to a Super Bowl that year, and he played his can off in the big game while practically sporting a broken leg. But we do love it when owners have that sudden realization that the obsessive tyrannical leadership that brought them so much success in the private sector simply doesn't fly when your employees, uh, absolutely do not have to listen to you.
Lurie Regrets Ever Having Brought In T.O. [Philadelphia Inquirer]
(By the way, that picture cracks us up.)

By Michael S. Goldberger, film critic
In Andrew Dominik's "Killing Them Softly," an unrelentingly violent meditation on the world of contract killers, French art house meets Quentin Tarantino with a delirious swirl of über naturalism. Almost every assassination is accompanied by the sound of shattering bone. Then the camera switches to the morgue, where an ID tag is tied to the victim's toe.
Slow motion heightens the horror of the deed. But then, by now we're hip to the drill, understanding full well, as Mario Puzo put it in "The Godfather" I and II, that it's just business, and nothing personal. Whew…that kind of takes a load off my mind. But fact is, you can't view this without wondering just how intentional its gratuitous appeal is.
Further confounding us, it's all done quite creatively, an avant-garde texture achieved via some very good performances. Between executions, as if flicked on like a light switch, the story's decidedly fringe personae engage in dialogue and soliloquy that, in addition to creating anticipatory tension, impart an oxymoronic humanity to the doings.
Brad Pitt's Jackie Cogan, who by all accounts is the hit man extraordinaire, tacitly takes hold of the narrative after some small time desperadoes trying to steal from the big boys prompt his entrée. The physical embodiment of the story's juxtaposing bevy of contradictory elements, his devilishly good portrayal establishes an anarchical aura.
The film is profuse with unsavory people, starting with the most bottom-feeding of criminal elements with whom we're soon vicariously rubbing elbows. Thus it crosses one's mind that, unbeknownst to us, like aliens who metamorphose into human form, these sorts stealthily slither through our everyday lives. It gives you a case of the creeps.
Russell (Ben Mendelsohn) and Frankie (Scoot McNairy), young punks who've been in and out of the pokey since childhood, put the nasty gambit in motion when they bid for a heist planned by Johnny Amato. It's a card game run by Ray Liotta's Markie Trattman, a well liked hood known for his double-dealing ways. Well, you know what hits the fan.
To paraphrase Driver, an agent of those powers that be played by Richard Jenkins, it just doesn't look good if such lowlifes can invade crime's inner sanctums. Where's the justice? Meeting with Pitt's expediter, the lawyerly go-between discusses methodology and price whilst bemoaning the boardroom mentality that now grips his higher-ups.
Mr. Pitt, who joins the ranks of big league movie hit men with this splendid conjuration, etches his own niche. Shunning the anomalous compassion Jean Reno styled so well in "León: The Professional (1994), his philosophical patter takes more of a world view. Suffering no fools, he is a pragmatist, and probably more antisocial than his employers.
Jackie talks economics and pooh-poohs the social contract as TV coverage of the 2008 Presidential campaign spews from the backdrop in a cynical contrast implying some very disturbing beliefs. And as the panoply of human scourge is depicted, we remember Dante noted that the hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who stay neutral in a moral crisis.
Chilling via an equivocating pose that only serves to accent his sinister status, Richard Jenkins is Driver, the buttoned-down middleman who connects the two, supposedly different worlds whose interests he facilitates. Perennially attired in a business suit and driving an executive sedan, his deadpan delivery suggests the Bob Newhart of villains.
Rounding out the troika of characters who populate this Chaucer-like parable of human greed and foibles is James Gandolfini as Mickey, the once great triggerman from out of town who Jackie subcontracts for a key assignment. Now part Pagliacci, but mostly buffoon, he is a jaded model of gluttony gone out of control…a study in pathos.
Truth is, there's nothing very pretty to look at here. Even the comedy relief, which comes only in thin strands of sarcastic observation, disallows any opportunity to let your guard down. This is an ugly world, not because it might exist alongside ours, but rather, because it strews through that which we have always assumed is free from harm and evil.
Thus, by design or not, the director has fashioned the filmic answer to the reversible jacket, offering a creative look at society's underbelly to the dilettante who might not always divert his eyes from a car accident, while providing unmitigated carnage for the bloodthirsty. You glance to the left, and then to the right, wondering who slots in where.
Nothing is sacred, not even Thomas Jefferson, who the normally terse Jackie makes the subject of a diatribe disdainfully meant to burst a bubble about the American dream. Distasteful stuff, albeit presented with artistic aplomb, "Killing Them Softly" refuses to let the viewer off easy as it loudly proffers its pessimistic thesis about human nature.
"Killing Them Softly," rated R, is a Weinstein Company release directed by Andrew Dominik and stars Brad Pitt, James Gandolfini and Richard Jenkins. Running time: 97 minutes

WASHINGTON (AP) — Requirements that medium-sized and large employers offer insurance coverage or face fines are one of the most complicated parts of President Barack Obama's health care law.
While most of the estimated 160 million Americans with job-based coverage will not see not see major changes when the law takes full effect next year, the so-called employer mandate will be important to millions of workers, particularly in low-wage industries.
The Affordable Care Act, as the law is known, actually has two mandates on employers, part of "shared responsibility" provisions to ensure that companies keep offering coverage. Think of them as the big stick and the smaller stick.
Employers that don't offer coverage at all face the big stick. Those that offer substandard or inadequate coverage face the smaller stick.
The penalties apply to companies with 50 or more full-time employees, defined as workers averaging 30 hours a week or more.
There is no coverage mandate — or penalty — for smaller businesses. Also, for businesses of any size, there is no penalty if their workers are poor enough to be eligible for Medicaid.
The government expects to collect $130 billion in penalties over a decade.
The first penalty — the big stick — applies to medium-sized and large companies that don't offer coverage. If just one of their full-time workers receives tax credits to purchase coverage in new insurance markets next year, the company faces a fine of $2,000 multiplied by its total number of full-timers, minus the first 30.
For a company with 100 employees, the fine would be $140,000 in 2014, according to examples provided by the National Retail Federation.
The second penalty — the smaller stick — applies to companies offering policies unaffordable or that fail to meet basic standards for adequate coverage. It's unaffordable if the premiums exceed 9.5 percent of an employee's income.
Companies whose health plans fail either test of affordability or adequacy would pay $3,000 for each employee who gets a tax credit in the new insurance markets.
Initially there was widespread speculation that many employers would drop coverage and opt to pay the fines instead, but that talk seems to have died down. A new Mercer survey of companies with 500 or more workers finds only 7 percent plan to stop offering health benefits.

STOCKTON - Bob Elliott watched the year's last regular meeting of the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors from the audience with the rest of the public.
STOCKTON - Bob Elliott watched the year's last regular meeting of the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors from the audience with the rest of the public.
And since Elliott won't be sworn into office on the board until January, he stayed in the audience when the current supervisors filed off into a back room for a closed-session meeting.
But he wasn't idle. He talked with other county officials who were there and set up meetings with some of the heads of the departments in his attempt to get ready to take his place as one of the five elected officials in charge of overseeing the county government, with its 26 departments and $1.26 billion annual budget.
His plan: To get to know each department, starting by finding out the top goals and top challenges each department expects in the coming year, Elliott said. "That kind of orientation is going to be very helpful."
By that mid-December meeting, Elliott had already taken a tour of the county's San Joaquin General Hospital, and he was interested in setting up a tour of the County Jail. He's the only new member after the 2012 elections. The other four supervisors all have at least four years experience in county government.
And it is a large and complex organization.
Within those 26 departments are about 100 separate activities, each with its own budget, County Administrator Manuel Lopez said. "Every one of them is important. Some are more high-profile," said Lopez, who said he'd already sat down with Elliott for an hours-long meeting delving into the county budget. "They are all there for a reason."
The county doesn't have a formal orientation for newly elected supervisors. But there is a formal seminar put on by the California State Association of Counties. That was held at the start of the association's annual meeting last November in Long Beach.
Elliott was there, too. In addition to the orientation provided, it was useful to see how different counties approached the same issues, "so that you're not operating in a vacuum," he said. "It was an eye-opener to see the difference of perspectives."
Elliott, 63, lives in Tracy, where he was elected to City Council in 2010. He defeated Tracy Planning Commissioner Rhodesia Ransom in a November runoff election to represent San Joaquin County's Fifth District on the Board of Supervisors. It's the county's southernmost district, containing Tracy, Mountain House, part of Manteca and unincorporated land in between. Elliott is replacing Supervisor Leroy Ornellas, who is terming out.
Elliott is going to be immediately faced with issues, including some of the big ones, like the hospital and expansion of the county jail, said Ornellas. And by June, it will be time for the board to pass next year's budget.
"He'll need to pick all that up in six months," Ornellas said. "I'm very confident that he will."

iPad 2 rumor posts have been done to death by now—we get it! It's coming very soon!—but this one could actually save you a bit of coin should you want to keep your current iPad, so, enjoy.
Basically, AT&T is having a massive sale on all iPad accessories, presumably to make way for the redesigned, camera-friendly cases and other thinner accessories that we all but know will snugly wrap themselves around the second-gen iPad 2. The sale is an inventory-clearing 50% and starts, well, today!
As far as the rumormongering goes, a 50% sale on iPad cases hints at the obvious. Mainly, that a new iPad is imminent and will have a new form factor that makes original iPad cases obsolete. [BGR]

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 7, 2013) - Golden Reign Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:GRR) (the "Company" or "Golden Reign") is very pleased to announce that a drill rig has been mobilized and drilling will re-commence shortly at its San Albino Gold Deposit located in the Southern District of its San Albino-Murra Property (the "Property"), Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua.
The Company has contracted Canchi Perforaciones de Nicaragua, S.A. for an initial 4,000 metres of a planned 20,000 metre program. The aim of the 2013 definition drill program at the San Albino Gold Deposit is to increase both open-pittable and underground resources via additional step-out drilling.
Mineralization at the San Albino Gold Deposit is open at depth and along strike, offering excellent exploration potential. Golden Reign plans to test and extend the upper, San Albino zone, which lies within 100 metres of surface (see attached map). Drilling completed in 2012 extended the San Albino zone down-dip for 250 metres, with the last, western-most fence of drill holes intercepting the strongest mineralization reported within this zone, as follows:
Highlights from 2012 drill intercepts of the San Albino zone include:
The Arras zone, which has been traced for 925 metres down-dip, will also be tested by drilling.
In addition, a trenching program designed to further delineate and extend the surface exposure of the San Albino zone, increasing potential open-pittable resources, is currently underway. The first trench successfully exposed the San Albino vein which has a true thickness ranging from 1.7 to 2.1 metres. Assay results are pending.
The near-surface San Albino Gold Deposit is currently comprised of three shallow dipping high-grade vein systems - San Albino, Naranjo and Arras - situated within approximately 300 metres from surface, striking over 850 metres, with a true average width of 2.6 metres. To date, only a small portion of the prospect has been drill tested.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative cause of parkinsonism, a clinical syndrome characterized by lesions in the basal ganglia, predominantly in the substantia nigra. PD makes up approximately 80% of cases of parkinsonism.
As a rule, PD begins between the ages of 40 and 70 years, with peak age onset in the seventh decade. The prevalence of PD is approximately 160 cases per 100,000 population, and the incidence is about 20 cases per 100,000 population. The pathological changes of PD may appear as early as three decades before the appearance of clinical signs. The cause of PD is probably multifactorial, with contributions from hereditary predisposition, environmental toxins, and aging.
Several studies have indicated that PD is more common among relatives of index cases. When all studies are analyzed, first degree relatives of probands are two to three times more likely to develop PD.
The primary lesion of PD is degeneration of the neuromelanin-containing neurons in the brainstem, particularly those in the pars compacta of the substantia nigra. The cardinal motor signs and symptoms of PD, include the characteristic clinical picture of resting tremor, rigidity, akinesia, and impairment of postural reflexes. It evolves slowly. Although preclinical detection of PD have been investigated, a practical, inexpensive, sensitive and specific screening test has yet to be made available.
Furthermore, in the absence of a disease-specific biologic marker, a definitive diagnosis of PD can be made only at autopsy by the presence of specific neuropathological findings including Lewy bodies. The pharmacologic /surgical treatment of PD can be divided into three major conceptual categories: symptomatic, protective, restorative. Although the goal of therapy is to reverse the functional disability, abolition of all symptoms and signs is not currently possible even with high doses of medication.
Before the introduction of levodopa, PD caused severe disability in 16% of patients within five years of onset, in 37% during the next five years, and in 42% of those surviving for 15 years. The introduction of levodopa has been considered one of the success stories of modern medicine. It remains the most effecacious drug available for the relief of symptoms in PD since its first introduction in the 1960s.
The drug has produced dramatic results even in severely affected patients. However, complications of chronic therapy soon became apparent. Superimposed upon the disease-related problems are the additional burden of motor fluctuations (the "on-off" reaction), dyskinesias, and visual hallucinations. Other different pharmacologic advances during the last three decades have significantly augmented the antiparkinson armamentarium: dopamine agonist, inhibitors of catechol-0-menthyltransferase (COMT), monoamine oxidase type B (MAO-B) inhibitors
The dementia associated with PD has been estimated to affect at least 20% of patients, with prevalence higher among older patients, less common among those with young-onset disease. An estimated 40% to 60% of PD patients suffer from depression, which appears to be related to duration of disease. Psychiatric adverse effects are much more likely to occur in patients with predisposing characteristics such as: dementia, advanced age, premorbid psychiatric illness and exposure to high daily doses of levodopa.
A wide variety of neurosurgical operations have been proposed over the years for the treatment of PD. Currently the most popular techniques are: pallidotomy, chronic deep-brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and globus pallidus internus (Gpi) using an implantable pulse generator (IPG).

The defining feature of parkinsonism is bradykinesia, or slowness with decrement and degradation of repetitive movements ("fatigue"). Subtle "bradykinesia" has been reported to occur in the "normal elderly" population, but this may reflect a non-specific slowness rather than bradykinesia as defined above. Parkinson's disease is the most common neurodegenerative cause of parkinsonism. Other causes include multiple system atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal degeneration.
These other neurodegenerative conditions are sometimes grouped together under term of "atypical parkinsonism" or "parkinson-plus syndromes". They do not respond as well to dopaminergic treatments and generally have a worse prognosis compared to typical Parkinson's disease. Degenerative causes of parkinsonism may be difficult to diagnose in the earliest stages and ancillary investigations may be of limited value in this instance.
Parkinsonism can also be symptomatic, as a result of various vascular, drug-related, infectious, toxic, structural and other known secondary causes. Of these, drug-induced parkinsonism is probably the most common and includes agents that block post-synaptic dopamine D2 receptors with high affinity (such as antipsychotic and anti-emetic medications) and sodium valproate. Vascular parkinsonism ("arteriosclerotic pseudoparkinsonism") tends to have a lower body emphasis with gait disturbance and concomitant cognitive impairment.

HOUSTON, TX (Jan. 11, 2012) – Holocaust historian and author Dr. Deborah Lipstadt will address the challenges and complexities of what some observers have called the "new" antisemitism in a free public lecture sponsored by Holocaust Museum Houston this January.
Dr. Deborah Lipstadt
Lipstadt, who gained international publicity when she was sued for libel by a Holocaust denier, will speak on the topic "The New Antisemitism: How New? How Dangerous? A Serious Threat or An Overreaction?" beginning at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2012, at the Emery/Weiner School, 9825 Stella Link Road in Houston. Admission is free, but advance registration is requested. Visit http://www.hmh.org/RegisterEvent.aspx to RSVP online.
During the past years there have been numerous references in the public discourse to a "new" antisemitism. Lipstadt will discuss how new this antisemitism is and whether there is anything dramatically different from what preceded it. She will address the question: Is it simply the traditional form of antisemitism seen for years but dressed in slightly new "clothing"?
Lipstadt will also offer her views on most efficacious responses on the part of the Jewish community and the strategies the community might adopt to address these developments.
Lipstadt is the Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish and Holocaust Studies at Emory University in Atlanta. She is the author of "The Eichmann Trial," and her earlier book "History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier" is the story of her libel trial in London against David Irving, who sued her for calling him a Holocaust denier and right-wing extremist.
The trial was described by the London Daily Telegraph as having "done for the new century what the Nuremberg tribunals or the Eichmann trial did for earlier generations." The judge found Irving to be a Holocaust denier, a falsifier of history, a racist, an anti-Semite and a liar. Her legal battle with Irving lasted approximately five years. According to the New York Times, the trial "put an end to the pretense that Mr. Irving is anything but a self-promoting apologist for Hitler."
Lipstadt has taught at UCLA and Occidental College in Los Angeles. She received her bachelor's degree from City College of New York and her master's and doctorate from Brandeis University.
Lipstadt is frequently called upon by the media to comment on a variety of matters. She has appeared on CNN, Sixty Minutes, Today Show, Good Morning America, NPR's Fresh Air, the BBC and the Charlie Rose Show and is a frequent contributor to a variety of newspapers including the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post and the New York Times.
Lipstadt's appearance is part of the Kosberg/Wilkenfeld Distinguished Lectures and generously underwritten by the Kosberg Charitable Foundation Trust and Dolores and the late Buddy Wilkenfeld in memory of Ruth Vinn Hendler Lack, with special thanks to United Airlines, official airline of Holocaust Museum Houston.
Holocaust Museum Houston is dedicated to educating people about the Holocaust, remembering the 6 million Jews and other innocent victims and honoring the survivors' legacy. Using the lessons of the Holocaust and other genocides, the Museum teaches the dangers of hatred, prejudice and apathy.
Holocaust Museum Houston's Morgan Family Center is free and open to the public and is located in Houston's Museum District at 5401 Caroline St., Houston, TX 77004. For more information about the Museum, call 713-942-8000 or visit www.hmh.org.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. — Here are some of the top stories of the past week from across Fairfield County as reported by Daily Voice — in case you missed it.
A massive 10-vehicle chain-reaction pileup began as drivers swerved to try to avoid a light pole that had been knocked onto the travel lanes of I-95 in Fairfield in a previous crash overnight Tuesday, state police said. One man, who had to be extricated from his car by firefighters , was seriously injured when his vehicle became wedged under a tractor-trailer as part of the crash.
A whopper of a snowstorm was forecast to hit Fairfield County on Tuesday and drop 2 feet of snow. Highway travel was banned, Metro-North shut down the trains and schools closed. But the snowfall came up short , ranging from a low of just 7 inches in Norwalk and 10 inches in Monroe, to a high of 16 inches in Monroe and 20 inches in New Fairfield.
During the storm, the staff at the Harborview Market kept dishing up meals. And Joe Doceti, owner of Hat City Construction in New Fairfield, kept busy with plowing jobs.
After the cleanup, the folks at Stew Leonard's built Mt. Stew after plowing the parking lot at the world's largest dairy store and invited the public to come sled. And a viral video showed an Amtrak train blasting New York commuters with snow.
Donut Crazy, the taste sensation born in Stratford and Shelton, opened its newest location at the Westport Train Station , selling coffee, breakfast sandwiches and, of courses, its signature giant donuts in a crazy selection of flavors.
Three days after he went missing, the body of Kenneth Woodd-Cahusac, 61, was found near a private dock in the frigid waters of the Mianus River near his Greenwich home, police said. Police retraced their steps and searched spots again in an effort to find the autistic man.
A woman who jumped to her death from an overpass onto I-95 in Stamford was identified as 27-year-old Abbey Meany of Stamford.
There will soon be some new places in Stratford to enjoy a good meal. The owners of the Lazy Dog Tavern this spring will open The Crabby Dog Tavern in the former home of Mare Bello just across from the seawall in the Lordship section of town. Meanwhile, the revived Cricket Car Hop will open for business this spring at a new location at 900 Access Road.
Police said they found a loaded gun, cocaine and a baseball bat in a car driven by José Diaz, 29, of Bridgeport, after he nearly hit several cars in clear view of officers in Fairfield.
Sylvia Beckerman of Westport has formed Après Divorce , a growing community of women to tackle the little things, the legal things and the life-empowering changes that come after a longtime relationship ends.
A Danbury firefighter rescued a Shih Tzu from a burning home as flames ran up the side of the structure.
The NTSB cited an "aerodynamic stall" and "total loss of engine power" as the probable causes of an airplane crash that killed two college students from Ridgefield in September 2015 in upstate New York. Cathryn 'Carey' Depuy, the pilot, and Ryan Adams, the only passenger, were freshmen at Colgate University.

As a U.S. senator during the 1960s, I agonized over the badly mistaken war in Vietnam," McGovern wrote. "After doing all I could to save our troops and the Vietnamese people from a senseless conflict, I finally took my case to the public in my presidential campaign in 1972. Speaking across the nation, I told audiences that the only upside of the tragedy in Vietnam was that its enormous cost in lives and dollars would keep any future administration from going down that road again.
I was wrong.

Upon his return to the Senate, McGovern turned to introducing legislation to end the Vietnam War. In 1970, he co-authored an amendment with Sen. Mark Hatfield (R-Ore.) to the annual military funding bill which ordered a complete withdrawal by the end of the year.
Shortly before the Senate voted on the measure, McGovern took to the chamber floor to castigate colleagues who opposed a hasty pullout.
"This chamber reeks of blood," he said. "It does not take any courage at all for a congressman, or a senator, or a president to wrap himself in the flag and say we are staying in Vietnam, because it is not our blood that is being shed. But we are responsible for those young men and their lives and their hopes."
The amendment failed to pass.
Geezer wrote:Not disagreeing with your view about his speaking out against military involvement but there were 2 candidates who opposed the war in 1968. Gene McCarthy(?) enjoyed a fair amount of support. I believe RFK also had basically come out for pulling out in Vietnam during the 1968 democratic nomination campaign.

Winter dressing do's and don'ts
Our crazy Chicago weather has been mostly gentle so far, but we know in our hearts there's some ferocious stuff in our future. On one of the coldest days so far — temperature in the freezing zone and snow flurries too — I went looking for the do's and don'ts of winter wear. I found a lot of both. The biggest mistakes were in footwear, where an alarming number of people were in denial and still wearing sneakers or summer shoes — in December! I'll be writing more about boots after testing some promising ones in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, underdressing for Chicago's wind, cold, snow and slush is a pretty bonehead play. The right clothes can make the difference between miserable and bearable. I got a reminder of this recently. As I wandered the city talking to the people on this page, my feet soon felt like blocks of ice and my hands weren't any better. I belonged firmly in the "Don'ts" column. Next time I'll wear thicker socks, heavier boots and insulated mittens over my fur-lined leather gloves. Yup, layering works. Please learn from my mistakes and … stay warm. -- Ellen Warren, Tribune Senior Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A corroded pipe that failed and triggered a leak and massive fire at one of California's largest refineries had walls as thin as a penny in some areas, federal investigators said.
U.S. Chemical Safety Board officials said late Tuesday that a key part of their probe into the fire at the plant in Richmond is why Chevron Corp. didn't replace the pipe during a routine inspection a year ago.
The board previously found that Chevron had inspected and replaced a larger, corroded 12-inch pipe connected to the smaller one that failed Aug. 6.
"We have obtained internal Chevron policies that recommend that every segment of pipe in this service should have been included in the pipe inspection program," said Don Holmstrom, lead investigator for the board. "There is no indication that this segment of pipe was inspected for thickness during the most recent" inspections.
Chevron did not respond to a request for comment.
The blaze at the San Francisco Bay area facility knocked an important refinery unit offline, reducing production. Gas prices on the West Coast have surpassed $4 a gallon since the fire.
In addition, smoke from the blaze sent thousands of residents to hospitals with health complaints. Local officials have moved to create more thorough air monitoring around refineries in the area along with better emergency response systems.
The destroyed unit remains offline, and the company has provided no timetable for when it might be rebuilt.
Parts of the failed, eight-inch pipe had thinned to 1/16 of an inch from its original thickness of 5/16 of an inch, officials said.
"This represents about an 80 percent wall loss from the original design thickness," Holmstrom said.
The pipe that failed dated back to the 1970s, the board said, and Chevron's own training documents said straight pipes such as the one that leaked were more susceptible to corrosion.
"Understanding the decision-making around the replacement of the eight-inch pipe remains a key focus of the investigation," Holmstrom said.
Engineering experts said the company should have done thorough inspections of connected pipes after it found corrosion and thinning in nearby pipes in the crude unit last year.
"If you find local (pipe) wall loss, you don't just stop there, you extend the inspection further until you find out whether the rest of the pipe is safe to operate," said Ronald Haupt, a mechanical engineer and president of Pressure Piping Engineering Associates Inc.

Women's basketball coach likes what she sees at scrimmage
Rob Vanya -- October 8, 2013
HOUSTON – The San Jacinto College women's basketball team, which includes only one returner and 13 new players, recently hosted its first big event of the season – Jam the Gym, an inner-squad scrimmage that allowed fans to meet this year's team.
First-year head coach Brenita Williams-Jackson liked what she saw at the scrimmage. "Overall, I was impressed with the team's hustle, effort, and execution of our system, so I see they are starting to buy in," she commented. "We still have work to do in order to get to where we want to be. We need to get better on ball defense and develop more discipline offensively."
Williams-Jackson said the team will face some well-coached and talented teams in Region XIV action. "Last year, Trinity Valley finished number one in the nation, and Blinn finished eighth, so those will be the teams to beat in this conference," she said.
The coach says fans can expect to see a highly competitive team that plays with a lot of energy. "We will play aggressively on defense, and push the ball on offense to create a fun game for players and fans," she commented. "Our goal is to finish number one, so every practice, meeting, and film session revolves around that goal. So far, the team is up for the challenge and we expect to be playing in Kansas in March for nationals."
The home opener for the San Jacinto College women's basketball team will be Nov. 5 at 5:30 p.m. when the team faces off against McLennan Community College. All games are free, open to the public, and are played at the North Campus in Nichols Gymnasium, 5800 Uvalde Road. For a complete schedule, please visit www.sanjacsports.com.

Earlier this month, Ryan Gosling cast girlfriend Eva Mendes in his directorial debut, How to Catch a Monster. With production on the fantasy film set to begin this May, Gosling is a few months away from the joys and challenges of directing a significant other.
But Gosling is hardly the first director to cast his sweetheart in his own movie. Woody Allen is famous for dating (and sometimes marrying) many of his leading ladies, and Paul Newman also directed wife Joanne Woodward in multiple films.
Here's a round-up of other men who have directed their actress significant others — some of whom are still going strong, while others' relationships are in the rear-view mirror.
Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich
This couple met while working on 2002's Resident Evil. Since they began dating in 2003 (with a wedding following in 2009), Anderson and Jovovich have made four more films in the lucrative zombie franchise. The British director also cast his wife in his 2011 adaptation of The Three Musketeers.
Anderson on directing Jovovich: "I always call her the hardest working person in show business. I've never met an actor as dedicated as she is. She's like the Terminator, relentless. It can be 2 a.m. in the morning, and she suggests we talk about some aspect of the film. How about we don't, Milla? But we both just love making movies." [Huffington Post]
Jovovich on working with Anderson: "I tell Paul every day, he spoils me. It is such a pleasure. We have our family together. We do these fun movies together. What am I going to do when I have to go work with somebody else?" [Huffington Post]
Are they still together? Yep. And they're planning to continue their working relationship too — both are expected to return for a sixth Resident Evil installment.
Len Wiseman and Kate Beckinsale
While Anderson is directing zombie-slaying Jovovich, Wiseman directs his butt-kicking wife in vampire series Underworld. He also cast her in last summer's Total Recall remake.
Wiseman on directing Beckinsale's love scenes with other men: "It's amazing how much your blood boils immediately if you call cut and it doesn't stop right way. On Underworld, I was being very polite and they didn't hear me. You've got to stop when I call cut. So now I make a point of having a megaphone during love scenes." [Celebuzz]
Still together? Yes. Things didn't work out as well for Beckinsale and longtime boyfriend Michael Sheen — who got a part in Underworld thanks to Beckinsale's recommendation — when the English actress ended up falling for her director. But Sheen kept things classy and amicable: He returned for the 2006 sequel and 2009 prequel, starring opposite his ex.
Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet
This pair had already racked up a combined five Oscar nominations by the time Winslet set her heart on adapting 1961 book Revolutionary Road. They teamed their talents together when Winslet convinced her husband to helm the project. She also brought aboard her Titanic co-star and best friend, Leonardo DiCaprio, to play her character's husband in the story of a troubled marriage.
Mendes on directing Winslet: "It was very exhilarating to finally work with my wife, and I saw a side of her I just didn't know. I suppose I was really struck by two things: One is just her attention to detail, and the other is when she's acting she looks like my Kate — her face is no different, she's not wearing prosthetics and there's no ageing or anything like that — but she is just a different person. I didn't see her on the set — I just saw the character she was playing. It was remarkable." [The Telegraph]
"I will admit it was quite bizarre to direct my wife in how to make love. But it's difficult whether you're married to a person or not." [EW]
Winslet filming love scenes with DiCaprio: "I just kept saying, 'This is too f—ing weird.' And Leo was like, 'Oh, get over it.' And I'm going, 'Yeah, a little reminder: You're my best friend. He's my husband. This is a bit weird."' [EW]
Still together? Nope. Winslet and Mendes split in 2010. Last year, she married
her soulmate Leo Richard Branson's nephew, Ned Rocknroll.
Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter
This endearingly eccentric pair met while filming 2001's Planet of the Apes. Since then, Burton has cast Bonham Carter in every feature he's directed, with the exception of last year's Frankenweenie.
Burton on directing Bonham Carter: "It's quite easy. The fact is, before I met her, she'd done lots of things. She's very secure in what she does. There's no conflict. She's the most secure actress I've ever met. So there are no problems — yet!… When we did Sweeney Todd, I didn't want to seem like I was giving the job to my girlfriend or anything. I was probably harder on her for that reason — I just wanted to make sure that she was really, really right for it." [Total Film]
Still together? Yes. They haven't tied the knot yet, though Bonham Carter has said that their two children have repeatedly pestered her and Burton to get married.
