GOOGLE MAPS no longer available: With apologies, I am unable to continue showing Google Maps. Google has forced my hand by increasing their map usage fee from nothing/free to OVER $300 A MONTH for the Abandoned Rails website! This is an expense that I simply cannot afford. Rest assured I am looking at available open source alternatives, so maps should be back online soon!
—Greg HarrisonAbandonedRails.com
This abandoned route, built in the late 1800s, was once part of the Baltimore & Ohio line between Creston and Greenwich. As the line headed south out of Lodi, it ran through swamps and marshes. Soon after being built, B&O decided that the the swampy land through which the tracks ran was not suited for railroad traffic, and ended up building a new "high line" between Lodi and Sullivan, to the west of Lodi. B&O soon abandoned the old stretch of line since it was now unnecessary.
This line also included a short branch south to West Salem and a connection with the Erie-Lackawanna.
The B&O line, including the reroute, is still in use today by CSX.
Add your comments
Would like to offer a few changes to this history. The railroad written about was from Willard,Ohio, eventually to Baltimore, Maryland. It was a highly traveled main line. Many remains of the old grade can still be seen. To ease some confusion, there was a branch line from Lodi to Wooster that did run through some very swampy terrain, south of Lodi. Again, this was a branch, not a main line as the story written about it might imply. It was abandoned by the B&O due to the swampy conditions. Another point of interest is this branch passed under the Erie Lackawanna, again south of Lodi. When branch was abandoned, Erie filled the underpass with gravel and dirt, burying the B&O. The old mainline crossed route 224, just west of Homerville, then paralled same route in to Lodi. Two very impressive sandstone bridges just west of Lodi on "new" line.

A segment of the old B&O row from Lodi to Rt 42 was later used by the Cleveland Southwestern to West Salem. The grade is still there.
Gary Lambillotte
Medina, OH
According to the Lodi historical society,a locomotive and some track laying equipment was lost in the quicksand while building the Lodi-Wooster branch. This happened south of the current mainline (2013)about 1/2 mile west of Lodi Lumber

TransCanada Withdraws Special Permit Application for Keystone Gulf Coast Expansion Pipeline
Special Permit Application Withdrawn for Keystone Gulf Coast Expansion Pipeline
CALGARY, Alberta - August 5, 2010 - TransCanada has withdrawn its request to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) for a special permit. The permit would have allowed TransCanada to operate the proposed Keystone XL pipeline at a slightly higher pressure than current federal regulations for oil pipelines in the United States, subject to building the pipeline using stronger steel and operating under additional safety conditions.
After listening to concerns from the public and various political leaders, TransCanada made the decision to withdraw the permit application. The company will build Keystone XL using the asproposed stronger steel but will operate it at a lower level of pressure, consistent with current U.S. regulations.
The company recognizes it needs to take more steps to assure the public and stakeholders that the parameters of the special permit would result in a safer pipeline. The company will continue to establish an operating record which will demonstrate the strength and integrity of the Keystone Pipeline System, which has been granted a special permit.
Keystone XL will implement the additional safety measures that would have been required under the special permit. These measures offer an enhanced level of safety and would allow TransCanada to request a special permit in the future. These safety measures also will be consistent with those that have been implemented on the existing Keystone Pipeline. In issuing the special permit for Keystone, PHMSA concluded the permit would provide a level of safety equal to or greater than that provided if the pipeline were operated under the current standard.
Without the special permit, Keystone XL will meet all of its initial commercial commitments to serve Gulf Coast refineries. Keystone also will continue to work with U.S. producers in the Bakken and broader Williston Basin area to provide needed transport for growing production in Montana and the Dakotas.
The Keystone XL project received approval in March 2010 from both the South Dakota Public Utility Commission and the National Energy Board in Canada. Pending receipt of additional permits, construction is planned to begin in 2011.
When completed, the Keystone XL project will increase the commercial capacity of the overall Keystone Pipeline System from 590,000 barrels per day to approximately 1.1 million barrels per day. The $12 billion system is 83 percent subscribed with long-term, binding contracts that include commitments of 910,000 barrels per day for an average term of approximately 18 years.
Commercial operations of the first phase of the Keystone system began June 30. Construction of the extension from Steele City Nebraska to Cushing Oklahoma is one-third complete and the pipeline is expected to be operational in 2011.
Keystone XL is a planned 1,959-mile (3,134-kilometre), 36-inch crude oil pipeline stretching from Hardisty, Alberta and moving southeast through Saskatchewan, Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska. It will connect with a portion of the Keystone Pipeline that will be built through Kansas to Cushing, Oklahoma and facilitate take away capacity from U.S. hubs located on the pipeline. The pipeline will then continue on through Oklahoma to a delivery point near existing terminals in Nederland, Texas to serve the Port Arthur, Texas marketplace.
To view a map of the proposed pipeline route, please visit the project web page at www.transcanada.com/keystone

Desaparecidos: "Read Music/Speak Spanish"
(Saddle Creek, June 30)
"Every rock generation needs a voice against the soul-destroying nature of social conformity, and this generation has at least two candidates in Grandaddy's Jason Lytle and Desaparecidos' Conor Oberst.... Oberst lashes out with punk-like sensibilities that feel fresh and smart."

Bright Eyes: "Lifted or the Story Is in the Soil Keep Your Ear to the Ground"
(Saddle Creek, Aug. 12)
" ... A 73-minute assault filled with so many dazzling images and rhymes that you wonder whether his real name isn't Zimmerman. After all, he's from the Midwest and he tends to spit out his words the way a young Dylan did. There are times when this cocky young songwriter seems guilty of just showing off, but there's an independent spirit here that makes him exciting, indeed."

My daughter loved dance intensive camp! One of her favorites was the theater class Miss Debbie taught! Thank you for fun week!
-- Kim
A wonderful environment to be encouraged to learn new things, from the amazing supportive friends that last a life time to the amazing teachers that are just like family!
-- Anonymous
My daughter loves Debbie's studio and has learned so much from every teacher there. We have been amazed by the dedicated teachers, great friends, and the progress she has made as her love of dance has grown exponentially. The studio is her second home, and we can't imagine a better experience!
-- Sharon Scott
I just took Gina's Barre Fitness class on Tuesday morning at 9:30 at the new studio! It was a great, fun workout, good music, and inspired me to come back for more. In fact, if I had the energy, there's a class on Tuesday evenings at 6:30...Gina provides great motivation and encouragement, and demonstrates skill and knowledge.
-- Judy Lawler
I grew up at this studio and I am now sending my two daughters here. The education is solid and can take you anywhere. The instruction I received enabled me to receive dance scholarships at several universities. I know the quality of instruction continues as I have watched my daughters progress. I recommend this school to anyone interested in solid dance education as well as a fun, supportive environment

A highly technical difference between the House of Representatives and the Senate has put overtime pay into a conference committee.
At the end of March 2003, the Bush Department of Labor (DOL) issued proposed regulations under the Fair Labor Standards Act that could cost more than 8 million workers their overtime pay protections. The comment period ended June 30. On July 10, 2003, the House voted by 213-210 to allow DOL to continue working on its proposed regulations. On September 10, 2003, the Senate took a contrary stance: Responding to a massive national outcry, it voted by 54-45 in favor of the Harkin amendment, which would allow DOL to protect additional categories of workers but not to end overtime pay protections for categories of workers who have protection now. The Senate vote, and the public outrage that fueled it, sent the House back to the drawing board. By a vote of 221-203 on October 2, the House instructed its conferees to accept the Harkin amendment. That vote, though, represents a recommendation that does not legally bind the House conferees. The result: continuing negotiations, daily rumors, and an uncertain outcome, despite the mobilization of workers across the United States and majority votes of the Senate and House.
DPE has worked hard with the AFL-CIO and DPE affiliates to contribute to both the House and Senate victories. Those votes have become important evidence of the Bush Administration's increasing political vulnerability. For updates, check "Breaking News" on the DPE website, or contact David Cohen, 202-638-0320 x13, firstname.lastname@example.com.
DPE President Paul E. Almeida, Pamela Wilson, and David Cohen met with Eugenia Kemble of the Albert Shanker Institute and Fred Feinstein of the Organizing Research Network and the University of Maryland to develop a proposal for a conference on white-collar organizing, "Organizing Professionals in the 21st Century," tentatively slated for 2004 in Washington, DC. DPE will be working on the proposal with its affiliated unions. For more information or to offer suggestions, contact David at 202-638-0320 x13 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) scheduled a National Staff Training for October 31 to November 5, 2003. At the invitation of AFGE, David Cohen, DPE Assistant to the President for Education and Organizational Development, is facilitating two of the days.
DPE participates in the Committee on Educational Awards of the Industrial Relations Research Association (IRRA). In October, Assistant to the President for Education and Organizational Development David Cohen joined other members of the Committee in judging nominations for the IRRA Excellence in Education Awards. The awards categories include collective bargaining, human resources, labor economics, labor education, labor history, labor and employment law, the sociology of work and the psychology of work. For more information about nominating candidates for the awards, contact David at 202-638-0320 x13 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The task force a joint venture of the Albert Shanker Institute and the New Economy Information Service traveled to England to study the UK's agenda for the 21st Century National Skill Agenda. The UK at all levels government, employers and unions has recognized the need for a skills agenda for the UK to stay competitive in the global economy. Representative from government, business and unions detailed their strategy for the Task Force and provided valuable insight of how their program is working. A new classification of worker (union representative) called a Learning Rep has been developed to assist workers in determining their individual skill level and what course of studies they require to advance in the ever changing workplace.
Record numbers of layoffs in engineering and technical occupations along with a new emphasis on outsourcing has led the task force to take a broader look at the UK model. The task force will evaluate the UK model and determine as part of its final report how the US should address skills upgrading and enhancement in today's economy. DPE affiliates that took part in this trip were AFT, IAM, IBEW and IFPTE. DPE affiliates that are part of the task force include AFT, CWA, IAM, IBEW and IFPTE.
The House Small Business Committee, chaired by Illinois Republican Don Manzullo, held another hearing on offshore outsourcing headlined as The Offshoring of High Skilled Jobs. Manzullo has become one of the most outspoken members of Congress on this issue. DPE arranged for a witness—Natasha Humphries, an African American, Stanford-educated, displaced tech worker and new TechsUnite/CWA activist—to testify at the hearing on October 20. Humphries was formerly with the company that makes the Palm Pilot. She was detailed by the company to train workers at their Indian subsidiary. Less than two months after her return her job was outsourced back to India. Her testimony was the most compelling of the four witnesses that testified with her during a panel presentation and was well received by Manzullo and the other legislators who attended.
Earlier this year, the World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled that a longstanding, $5 billion tax break for American companies to promote exports of U.S. products and thus generate domestic jobs—the Foreign Sales Corporation (FSC)/Extraterritorial Income (ETI) exclusion—was WTO non-compliant. The WTO demanded that the U.S. act quickly to get rid of this allegedly illegal export subsidy or face retaliation. Labor-backed legislation—H.R. 1769 was introduced by Reps. Phil Crane (R-IL) and Charlie Rangel (D-NY)—to reconfigure the export tax exemption into a deduction against income to subsidize domestic job creation by U.S. companies/foreign subsidiaries operating in the U.S. whether they export or not. The legislation's primary thrust was to stimulate manufacturing but the bill's broad definition of "production" included both software development and other tech related work as well as film and music production. (Those two industries had been plagued by increasing job losses due to runaway/offshore production in recent years.). In the Senate, during the August recess DPE Executive Director Mike Gildea participated in an AFL-CIO-arranged meeting with Senate Finance Committee staff—Ed McClellan, tax counsel to Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IO) and Russ Sullivan, tax counsel to ranking minority member Max Baucus (D-MT) to urge that the broadened definitions be retained. The final version of this bi-partisan bill—S. 1637, sponsored by Grassley and Baucus—did so. In the Finance Committee markup on the bill, Sen. Lincoln succeeded in adding her legislation to provide wage-based tax credits for the film industry to encourage more U.S. and lee runaway movie production. As of this writing, Committee versions of the FSC legislation are awaiting floor action in the House and Senate. DPE has also met with Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle and House Small Business Committee Chairman Don Manzullo to discuss strategies related to floor consideration of this legislation.
As reported in the last issue on 9/30 the cap on H-1B professional guest worker program receded from 195,000 to its pre-1998 level of 65,000. The DPE had long supported this reduction particularly at a time when so many white collar workers are jobless. Despite news reports that Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch was trying to restore the cap to over 100,000, as of this writing no action has occurred.
Following the mid-September Senate vote to nullify the action by the FCC to eradicate its media ownership limitations, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay proclaimed the resolution as DOA in the House. Several House members including Reps. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), Jim Leach (R-IA) and Ed Markey (D-MA) circulated a "Dear Collaegue" letter for signature by House members to Speaker Hastert asking him to schedule the Senate resolution for a vote. Initially these allies dad hoped to sign on 150 to 160 of their House colleagues. After a near month long effort the letter was sent to Hastert with 205 signatures including 11 GOP members. As of this writing the Speaker had not responded to their request. Meanwhile the federal court that had stayed the October 1 implementation of the revised ownership rules announced that oral arguments in the case would be heard in January.
Expanding its connection to the American Library Association (ALA), DPE has become co-chair of the ALA – AFL-CIO Joint Committee on Library Services to Labor Groups, whose mission is "to initiate, develop, and foster …ways and means of effecting closer cooperation between the librarian and labor organizations and the larger constituency represented by labor organizations". DPE hopes to assist the affiliates to further increase their visibility and membership among library workers at ALA.
DPE has held several meetings with key ALA staff to discuss ways and means for connection and collaboration. The American Library Association-Allied Professional Association, a companion organization to ALA, joined the DPE Coalition to Maintain Overtime Pay Protections. ALA-APA is focused on certification beyond the MLS, as well as comparable worth, pay equity initiatives, and other activities designed to improve the salaries and status of librarians. It promotes unionization as one of its strategies. (www.ala-apa.org) Librarian activists from AFSCME, SEIU, RWDSU-UFCW, and other affiliates were involved in the formation of this new organization and its materials, including Advocating for Better Salaries and Pay Equity Toolkit (www.mjfreedman.org/freedmantf/toolkit.pdf).
AFSCME has formed a national advisory committee on library employees. DPE was a guest at the initial meeting of this committee on October 27. In addition to AFSCME, library employees are represented by AFGE, AFT, CWA, IFPTE, SEIU and UFCW. Contact Pamela Wilson at DPE for additional information: email@example.com.
The American Public Health Association (APHA) represents more than 50,000 public health professionals. Its Annual Meeting will be held in San Francisco from November 15-19. The Department has been developing and expanding its connection with APHA for several years. DPE currently chairs the Labor Caucus within APHA and is continuing efforts to expand the connection and presence of the affiliates within the association.
The three Labor Caucus sessions at this year's Annual Meeting are:
- The Nursing Shortage: Prescriptions for Safety (2:30-4:00 p.m., Monday, November 17);
- Less Burnout and Dissatisfaction: Improving the Work Environment for Nurses (12:30-2:00 p.m., Wednesday, November 19); and
- The Social Costs of Large Retailers' (and Other Large Employers') Health Care Practices (2:30-4:00 p.m., Tuesday, November 18).
These sessions will feature speakers from DPE affiliates, including AFSCME, AFT, SEIU, UAN, and UFCW, as well as academics and public health officials sympathetic to labor. For the first time, these sessions are being cosponsored by several major Sections and Caucuses within APHA.
In addition, the Labor Caucus is joining the Occupational Health and Safety Section in sponsoring a new one-day Continuing Education Institute, Organized Labor and Public Health (9:00 – 5:00 p.m., Saturday, November 15). We hope that a program focused on how public health professionals and organized labor can form lasting partnerships will become a regular feature at APHA. This year's program will include a discussion of the AFL-CIO Nurse Staffing Campaign by UAN president, and AFL-CIO Vice President Cheryl Johnson. This session can be attended by union members and others in the Bay Area who are not planning to attend the Annual Meeting. We urge you to encourage local members to attend this meeting. Full information about the program and available scholarships can be obtained by contacting Dr. Greg DeLaurier at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The AFL-CIO Nurse Campaign will also be featured as part of the proceedings at the Occupational Health and Safety Social Hour (6:30-8:00 p.m., Monday, November 17), which the Labor Caucus is cosponsoring. The Campaign will be featured in other venues during the Annual Meeting and materials will be broadly distributed.
We urge you to encourage participation at these events and at the Labor Caucus Business Meeting (6:30-8:00 p.m., Tuesday, November 18) when the program for the coming year will be planned. For further information about APHA and the Annual Meeting, visit the Website: www.apha.org. Contact Pamela Wilson, email@example.com if you would like to know more about the Labor Caucus and its programs.
In September, 10,000 physicians announced their support for single payer national health insurance; their proposal for reform appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association and received widespread media attention (www.pnhp.org). An ABC News-Washington Post Poll released in October found that public support for a "universal health insurance program, in which everyone is covered under a program like Medicare that's run by the government and financed by taxpayers" is high and rising rapidly. By a 2:1 margin, the poll found the public favors national health insurance to the current system. In October, President Almeida met with Quentin Young, MD, National Coordinator of Physicians for a National Health Program, former president of APHA, and a leader in public health and medical and social justice issues for more than 50 years. In January, the Department will host a program and discussion with Dr. Young on the corporate takeover of medicine in America and the physicians' proposal for single payer national health insurance. For further information, contact Pamela Wilson, firstname.lastname@example.com.
DPE joins TechsUnite to tell the story of outsoucing IT jobs. Maryland Delegate Pauline Menes wants to stop export of white-collar jobs from Maryland before an exodus starts. And the way to do so, the state delegate believes, is to put the weight of the state government behind the Free State's white-collar workers.
Delegate Menes, a Democrat from College Park, met Oct. 15 in its city hall with unionists concerned about the issue, to discuss strategy for and details of legislation on the issue that she will introduce in the state capital of Annapolis next year.
Her legislation, like measures in other states, would ban state agencies and contractors from exporting white-collar jobs—computer techs, data processing, engineering and the like—to other countries. Those exports deprive U.S. workers of jobs.
"White collar workers have traditionally not been very good at advocating for themselves," said Paul Almeida, President of the AFL-CIO Department for Professional Employees, who attended the meeting. "If the public was aware and raised its voice, this would stop."
Other participants included top DPE official Mike Gildea, and Mike Blain of WashTech—a Seattle-based Communications Workers local that has led the fight on the issue.

The bride is really nervous about her big day. She has had to do, plan, pay, etc. for everything herself (with some help from the groom of course).
In a few days the one week countdown begins! I would like to send her a little message (1 each day leading up to the wedding) that will calm her, make her smile, etc. I am not talking about advice for married people or anything. I am talking about short but meaningful things that I can say to her. My hope is that there are some brides out there that know what they would like to have heard prior to their wedding. I am also hoping there are creative people out there that can think of some meaningful things to say that will calm her and help her to remember why she is of oing all of this and how special she is.
Thank you!!

Luminaries pay tribute to Edward Kennedy at NYU Journal of Legislation and Public Policy dedication (VIDEO)
On February 1, the New York University Journal of Legislation and Public Policy dedicated its forthcoming special issue to the legislative legacy of the late Senator Edward Kennedy. The ceremony included warm tributes from Kennedy's niece Caroline Kennedy and Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.
After an introduction by Sara Silverstein '11, the journal's editor-in-chief, Dean Richard Revesz reflected on Kennedy's importance to American law. "Law schools are able to advance sound policy through the production of first-rate scholarship and the exchange of complex ideas, and Senator Kennedy's work provides a rich and voluminous source of materials for advancing debate over a wide range of topics," said Revesz. "There are few leaders who can provide a more shining example of the power of law and the political process to positively change people's lives and shape a more perfect union."
Caroline Kennedy focused in her remarks on her uncle's personal touch: "More than almost anyone else I've ever met, Teddy's humanity is what made him such a legislative giant."
As the youngest of nine children, she said, Edward Kennedy knew the feeling of being crowded out. "I think it helped him develop his special gifts of always looking out for others, of making people laugh, and bringing them together no matter how differently they saw the world. He brought these gifts to the office. He saw the law as an instrument of social change, not in the abstract but in its effect on the everyday lives of those who were left out or left behind and needed his help."
Caroline Kennedy recalled how her uncle called every grieving Massachusetts family after 9/11 and attended every funeral, typical of the senator's approach. "He never stopped showing up.... Over the years he built a team of legal giants, and once someone had been on his staff they were always part of his extended family. He kept their phone numbers on a little pink card in his pocket, and he would call them at all hours of the day and night."
Every speaker stressed Edward Kennedy's consummate bipartisanship, evident in his countless legislative achievements across party lines over the course of the more than 15,000 Senate votes he cast. Thomas Susman, who was assistant adviser to Kennedy on the Senate Judiciary Committee from 1968 to 1979, summed up the senator's philosophy in reaching across the aisle: "Persuade, don't trade. Don't trade votes, don't ask for personal favors. If you've got the position, persuade them. Get them there on the merits. But if you get someone giving you a vote that's not on the merits, then that senator's going to want one back, and he didn't do that."
Justice Stephen Breyer, who had held a special Q&A session with NYU Law students earlier in the day, recalled his time working with Kennedy in the Senate, after Kennedy had appointed Breyer as the Judiciary Committee's special counsel. The future Supreme Court justice later worked with Kennedy after returning to the Senate as the committee's chief counsel.
"We used to just wake up in the morning and try to get there fast, because it was fun and interesting," Breyer said of his special counsel days. "Every minute there was something going on. It's that personality [of Kennedy's] that just gripped the whole thing."
Recently, Breyer said, Lamar Smith, the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, asked him to come speak to the committee, but did not say why beforehand. To Breyer's surprise, Smith wanted to know how Kennedy ran the Senate Judiciary Committee when Breyer was chief counsel. This request was a testament, Breyer said, to the efficacy of Kennedy's bipartisanship.
Kenneth Feinberg '70, administrator of the Gulf Coast Claims Facility compensating those affected by the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, worked for Kennedy from 1975 to 1980, eventually becoming his chief of staff and general counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Appearing on a large screen via webcam, Feinberg characterized Kennedy as one of a very few senators in modern times with "the political and institutional credibility to legislate" and achieve true partnership with members of the opposing party.
The late senator worked tirelessly and went to great lengths to foster personal relationships with everyone in his orbit, Feinberg said. "He was constantly working from early in the morning till late at night, seven days a week, in order to achieve the endgame. He was driven by his name, by the history of his family, by the reputation he was determined to vindicate."
Nick Littlefield, who worked as a staff director and chief counsel for Kennedy on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, explained how the senator accomplished as much as he did: through full immersion in the substance of issues, a holistic understanding of how both interior and exterior politics shaped how things in the Senate got done, and effective external communications.
Kennedy focused as much on unglamorous but crucial issues—job training programs, the minimum wage, administrative and regulatory policies—as on higher-profile ones. But one of his most lasting legacies, Littlefield said, would be universal healthcare, an issue on which Kennedy worked hard throughout his career.
Although the healthcare bill did not pass until after Kennedy's death, Littlefield asserted that "he had a key role through the moral force of his personality, through his strategic sense, through being there for key votes, through talking to Obama, through the letters he wrote to Obama, through the speeches he gave. In many ways, universal healthcare in America is the great Kennedy legacy.... Let the history books report that this was the man who achieved more and affected the lives of more people in America probably than any other senator in United States history."

I was speed-reading through a bunch of blogs just now but I thought I read that President Bush just nominated conductor Marin Alsop to the Supreme Court. Wow, we weren't expecting that one, were we? When I saw Alsop conduct Adams' Violin Concerto at the Cabrillo Music Festival, she gave no indication of her stand on Rove v. Wade, so legally, she may be a bit of an unknown. She does have a record of advocacy for American contemporary music, at least in Santa Cruz County, so that's enough for me. Barbara and Dianne, if you are reading this, vote yes on Marin, please.
Joshua Kosman's analysis in the Chronicle:
Alsop says she plans to chart a middle course.
Jens Laurson also has details of the nomination, focusing on the reaction in Baltimore for some reason...

text: Contaminated Sites A site is considered to be contaminated when hazardous substances are found at significantly higher concentrations than their normal (background) levels. A background level is the level of a substance that occurs naturally within the environment. Contaminated sites may pose a threat to both the environment and our health. They may limit land use and can also reduce land values. It is important that a contaminated site is investigated and managed to reduce any potential risk. A number of activities may cause a site to become contaminated. The Ministry for the Environment (MfE) has put together a Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) to help identify potentially contaminated sites. This is a list of 53 specific land uses that can potentially cause contamination. HAIL List >> Examples of sites in our region that may be contaminated include: Timber treatment sites Service Stations Disposal of wastes, controlled and uncontrolled Scrap yards Sheep dips Bay of Plenty Regional Council has the responsibility, under section 15 and section 30 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) to: a) control discharges to the environment, such as a discharges from a contaminated site to soil, air, groundwater or surface water. b) investigate land for the purposes of identifying and monitoring contaminated sites. Where subdivision or landuse change is occurring the National Environmental Standard for Assessing and Managing Contaminants in Soil to Protect Human Health (NES) may apply. Details on the NES can be found on the MfE website. The NES is administered by the local Territorial Authority. Assessing if a site is contaminated When it has been determined an activity has (or had) the potential to cause contamination on site, we recommend that an experienced environmental consultant is engaged to undertake a site investigation. This may involve collecting soil and groundwater samples for laboratory analysis. If fuel storage tanks are being removed from a service station or a site where fuel has been stored you are required to complete a Notification of Tank Pull form and submit it to us by post or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Notification of Tank Pull Form (44.5 KB, doc) Once a site investigation has been completed, we recommend that the investigation report is submitted to us for assessment to determine the appropriate classification on the Land Use Register and to assess the investigation findings against our Regional Water and Land Plan. If you intend subdividing land we will require that this work is carried out. Remediation of Contaminated Land If soil contamination is confirmed through site investigations, there are several options to remediate the land. This may include the removal of contaminated soil and its disposal to an approved landfill. If remediation of contaminated soil is chosen, the remediation strategy should be assessed against our Regional Water and Land Plan Rules 34 & 35. This would determine if a resource consent is required to undertake the remediation works. Please also discuss the proposed remediation works with your local council to determine their consenting requirements. Regional Water and Land Plan To read about some of the site remediation projects we're currently working on, click the relevant link below. Kopeopeo Canal Contamination Remediation Project Omokoroa boatyard project Redevelopment on a Contaminated Site If site redevelopment (such as re-contouring, excavation of soil for building footings, stormwater upgrades and underground services etc) is planned on a contaminated site, a resource consent under Rule 35 of Bay of Plenty Regional Council's Regional Water and Land Plan is required. This consent is required to authorise remediation or disturbance of contaminated land. Please contact a contaminated land specialist or the Consents Team for further advice on 0800 884 880. Minimising the Contamination risk Obtain the necessary approval prior to disturbing a contaminated site Dispose of hazardous substances correctly Transport hazardous substances safely Apply safe practices when using and storing hazardous substances Report any pollution incidences to the Regional Council's Pollution Hotline on 0800 884 883 Property Information To find out if Bay of Plenty Regional Council holds any information about a HAIL activity or contamination on a specific legal parcel or site for the region, please complete a HAIL Information Request Form.

BOTH Annie Power and Faugheen have suffered setbacks which has ruled them out of a run this weekend.
Willie Mullins' two hurdlers had been entered in the Morgiana Hurdle but did not feature among the declarations.
Mullins told The Irish Field: "Annie Power worked badly during the week and will be checked out over the weekend. Faugheen has a foot bruise."
Annie Power missed the start of last season through injury and was drafted in as a late substitute for the injured Faugheen at Cheltenham last season.
Future plans for both of them have yet to be decided.

So I'm usually the one giving people advise, but this one has me kinda baffled so I'm hoping to get some input here.
I'm not quite sure how long this has been the case since I don't use my computer for multimedia that often, but I noticed today that the audio playback quality under Windows is very poor on my machine. Specifically, it sounds muddled, sort of like the signal was over-amplified, then clipped, and finally muted. Even at maximum volume, the sound level is only moderate, but even then, the signal sounds as if it's already being over driven, as if there was a preamp somewhere that was dialed all the way up. Ever plug an AUX source into a stereo with the AUX source's volume turned all the way up and the stereo's only halfway up? That's what it sounds like. Further, there's a destinct (and very annoying) high frequency resonance for almost any amplitude above say quiet vocals. Say for a piano key sound, there's a second, high-pitched and tinny sound just after it. It's really hard to describe obviously, but I did my best, sufficive to say, it's enough to give you a headache in short order.
What's most interesting, and mostly why I'm confused is that this is only a problem under Windows (XP SP3, to be exact). I have an Ubuntu 9.10 install running also and sound quality and playback is to be expected on that OS.
Additional information of interest: this concern applies to ALL audio output, from any program, of any format, and from any hardware (Firefox: flash, wmplayer MP3, WAV, etc). The drivers that I were using initially were generic Windows drivers for the sound card. After noticing this issue I went to my HP Drivers disk and installed the HP drivers that came with the computer, the result is the same, however.
I appreciate anyone who has already taken the time to read this far. Like I said, I'm kinda stumped on this one, mostly because it simply makes no sense to me. I was assuming it was a hardware failure of some sort until I booted Ubuntu. If anyone has any input, I'm all ears. Additionally, I ran a few queries on the sound card while I was on Ubuntu and posted the results below. Hope that helps at all. Thanks again.

Greetings once again fans of Blu. Admittedly, the past few weeks haven't brought us the world's greatest titles to the realm of HD, but there have been a few worthy gems and cinema classics. This week is no different as studios bow a limited, but eclectic batch of titles – movies that should suit just about every taste, from TV lovers to comedy fans to bad movie nuts.
The biggest release this week goes to the critically mixed November hit, Due Date, starring Robert Downey Jr. Zach Galifianakis and Jamie Foxx (who's in the film for less than 15 minutes). Unfortunately, Due Date wasn't quite the knockout follow-up to The Hangover that director Todd Phillips had hoped for (you can read our theatrical review, from Jim Vejvoda, by clicking here). Rather, the film was more or less a not-as-funny variation of the classic John Hughes comedy Planes, Trains and Automobiles, starring Steve Martin and the late, great John Candy.
Despite a heavily mixed reaction from fans and critics, and quite possibly the most negative portrayal of a stoner seen since the Cheech and Chong era, Due Date went on to be a pretty big financial success for Warner. The $65 million comedy ended up grossing nearly $210 million worldwide – not bad for a fairly crass stoner comedy. Due Date now comes to Blu-ray with a modest special edition release packed with outtakes, deleted scenes and gags. If you're on the lookout for a silly little road picture, give Due Date a look – there are plenty of laughs to be had, even if the film is a little irresponsible. I'd suggest pairing it up with Todd Phillips first big-screen venture, Road Trip, as well. Check out our Blu-ray review by clicking here.
The next big release this week is Warner Animated's All Star Superman. Like, Due Date, reviews for this one have been pretty hit-and-miss. Honestly, though, most fans and critics seem to agree – this adaptation, based on the 12-issue comic series of the same name by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, was a pretty daunting task and was pulled off with some success, just not a whole lot of coherence. That disc comes packed with a few intriguing extras as well as a pretty solid A/V presentation. You can read our Blu-ray review, from Cindy White, by clicking here.
Last and likely least, the Z-grade 2008 bird-themed thriller Birdemic: Shock and Terror finally (?) arrives on video. Birdemic won acclaim among cult enthusiasts and bad movie lovers for its cheap production values, silly screenplay and laughably bad effects, which poorly superimpose very one-dimensional birds into the frame. The results are stunningly awesome, errr, awful.
The Blu-ray for Birdemic is actually fairly stocked, loaded with audio commentaries, featurettes, deleted scenes and more. If you're a bad movie lover looking for something to occupy the space between screenings of Troll 2 and The Room, Birdemic might be the filler you've been waiting for.
On the catalog front, we've got a few decent titles, but not many classics this week. Paramount is bringing the Eddie Murphy/Nick Nolte action-comedy 48 Hours to Blu. Lionsgate delivers the much-anticipated Christopher Nolan cult hit, Memento, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary (my how time flies). Lionsgate also brings the cult animated kid's flick, The Last Unicorn, to shelves. While Blue Underground has the 1971 horror flick, Daughters of Darkness. And Vivendi brings the little-seen, but worthwhile 2008 thriller, Killshot, which features an awesome all-star cast including Joesph Gordon-Levitt, Thomas Jane, Rosario Dawson, Diane Lane, Hal Holbrook and Mickey Rourke.
Other notable releases this week include the much-acclaimed drama, Get Low, starring Robert Duvall, the sixth season of Weeds, the second season of Nurse Jackie, and the award-winning documentary, Waiting for Superman. Ghost House also unveils their second horror helping for 2011, Psyche 9. Expect a review of that Blu-ray tomorrow.
Well folks, that's it for this week. Also, be sure to take note: the Will Ferrell animated comedy Megamind hits shelves on Friday, the 25th as well (in both 2D and 3D variations). That release includes a handful of featurettes, outtakes, deleted scenes and more (including some fun BD-exclusives). Expect a full review of Megamind in the coming days. In the meantime, stay true and stay Blu.

(A Slightly Chewed Website)
This is Summer, who only arrived with us recently in a poor condition.
She was suspected to have a pyometra (womb infection) when she came in, so went immediately to the vets, who confirmed the diagnosis and needed to operate as soon as possible. She also had a bad leg which she held awkwardly and seemed to be in pain from.
We will keep you posted on Summer's story, but please consider donating to her appeal, any amount will help.
Thank you.
Summer has recovered from her operation and is doing really well at Pip's.
The orthopaedic surgeon has said that the best thing for her pelvis is to leave it, the only way to mend it would be t re-break it and set it which could cause more problems than it solves. As she seems to be moving comfortably on it we have decided to leave it alone unless it becomes a problem.
Her coat is coming back through nicely now that the mange has been treated and she is generally a much happier, healthier dog.
I am pleased to report that Summer has now found a forever home where she can finish recovering and enjoy the rest of her life as a cherished pet.
She is settling in well and seems to have landed on her paws.

Finally, a K-drama that delivers
Alright, storywise this drama doesn't offer anything new to the table. Also, a few (very few compared to many other dramas especially k-dramas) scenes in the drama were particularly slow. But I forgive all this because of the way the actors superbly carried this drama. If it weren't for them, I really think the series could've been a disaster that it thankfully is not.
I want to mention the directing. I really enjoyed the cinematography and the way some scenes are shown from many different view points/ angles. Also, the music is absolutely tasteful and is reminiscent of 1 Litre.
ISILY, overall, was a fantastic drama and I'm really glad I gave it a try, since many of my previous ventures into k-dramas left me fearful of more disappointments and wasted hours.

From Nevada, Texas, USA:
My eight year old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about three months ago, and we are having a lot of problems getting him to give his injections. It is hard to get him to eat so I'm scared to give him his shots. Is this something he will overcome or will this continue?
This can be a common problem with younger children and diabetes. It remains quite important to keep encouraging him. Your son's diabetes educator can work with you to keep him motivated to participate in his diabetes care including the injections.
[Editor's comment: Ask your son's diabetes educators about the device kids call "the rocket" (officially called Inject-Ease®). It makes the shots much easier for kids who are just starting. WWQ]

In light of a brutal leg-kick domination at Strikeforce: Marquardt vs. Saffiedine, this old clip from "Countdown to UFC 115″ seems especially relevant. UFC heavyweight Pat Barry's professional MMA career began in 2008 with three consecutive KO/TKO's in the Midwestern regional promotion Combat USA — the first two by leg kicks, the other by head kick, all in the first round. As Barry describes it, "I threw six kicks, three fights…more money than I've ever made in my entire life." Barry was quickly snatched up by the UFC, where he did the same damn thing to Dan Evensen at UFC 92.
Bonus video after the jump: Pat Barry totally hijacks an MMAFightCorner interview with his girlfriend Rose Namajunas. It must take a lot of patience to love that man.

No matter how good you think Jazz power forward Derrick Favors is, there's a good chance he's better.
Even as the Jazz hype train barrels down the tracks with column after column citing reasons for optimism in Utah, Favors get overlooked. Writers frequently cite his co-captain Gordon Hayward, his ascendant frontcourt partner Rudy Gobert, the team's new veteran additions and an impressive contingent of rising youth. There are so many encouraging and exciting storylines around the Jazz that their second-best player often gets relegated to a passing mention, or less.
The result is that Favors — no worse than a top-three player on the Jazz, and definitely in the top 10% of NBA players overall — is somehow undersung. SI put Favors at #28 among the league's 450 or so players1, and a collaborative ranking at BballBreakdown pegged him at #32. And yet people rarely talk about him.
Well, almost nobody.
"He's been terrific," Jazz coach Quin Snyder said of his starting power forward in between two-a-day sessions on Wednesday. "His attitude's been very, very positive in a lot of situations. There is a focus. He's learning more and more how to take advantage of things that are available to him offensively, and he's always a presence defensively."
That two-way calculation is exactly why smart people rate Favors among the league's best. He might not be elite at any one thing, but is a proven impact player on both sides of the ball.
He was Utah's only consistent post scoring threat last year, but where he's really special is as a roll man off the pick & roll. If Favors can catch the ball below the free throw line with momentum toward the bucket, good things almost always happen. He scored a quarter of his points2 on short-roll pull-ups, explosions into the paint and free throw trips resulting from the P&R. His efficiency on those plays was 1.11 per possession, tops on the Jazz and top 20 in the league for players who finished at least 100 plays as roll man. The Jazz should absolutely prioritize finding ways for Favors to get these kinds of to-the-hoop touches.
His post game and near unstoppability on downhill dives make him a reliable scorer, even if his numbers aren't of the jump-off-the-page variety. He rode that prowess and athleticism to 16 & 8 per game for two straight seasons. That may not sound like a lot, but only five players averaged 16 & 8 last season with at least a block and a steal per night3, and the other four were All-Stars.
So he's incredibly unique, and we still haven't even gotten to his mix of defensive abilities. He is an above-average paint protector and someone who can force elite guards into tough shots on a switch.
Favors ranks in the top 20 in Nylon Calculus' points saved per game at the rim. His defensive FG% at the rim — 47.8% — isn't in the elite range of the Rudy Gobert (41%) and Serge Ibaka (43.3%) types, but he's solidly better than average there. He and Gobert4 are chiefly responsible for Utah's 49.7% rim defense last year, second best in the league. League average there is 60.2%, so that's a huge part of the Jazz's defensive identity.
Snyder talks a lot about how Favors' ability to switch onto ball handlers opens up the defensive options for Utah. The Jazz especially unleash that tactic in fourth quarters, when Favors will wind up guarding just about anybody through switches. He even gets asked to pick up elite point guards with regularity. When he does, he doesn't attempt to bottle them up like other bigs might try, and that's OK; he plays to his strengths. He has tools that some of those more aggressive switching bigs don't have — like length to recover against a pull-up. That allows him to guard switches a certain way, different from how someone like Draymond Green or Serge Ibaka might do it.
Watch as he gives several elite scoring guards just a little bit of space. This allows him to wall off drives without requiring help to come. He does this because he and Snyder know that his length and mobility will allow him to react to the pull-up and impact the shot without fouling.
Occasionally, guards decide to test that space and try to take Favors inside. When that happens, he moves laterally and carefully stays in front. It might look like he's conceding ground here, but what he's actually doing is preventing the player from getting around him and finishing the play while Favors looks at the back of his jersey. Again, Favors trusts his 9'2″ standing reach5 and his ability to affect the shot, so as long as he stays in front with good side-to-side movement, he can usually deny drivers after a switch.
Of course, none of this means that Favors is flawless. The Georgia Tech product spoke at media day about wanting to get better at both ends of the court, and then went on team radio where he got more specific about his summer work and planned improvements.
"Some of the things were: becoming a better leader for the team," Favors said when asked what the coaching staff counseled him to work on. "They still want me to become a better passer out of the post [and] the elbow, free-throw line area."
For those hoping that a three-point shot is development priority for Derrick, you can keep waiting. He said, in that interview and others, that he has worked on his long-range shooting to some degree, but isn't focused on deploying that in a major way this season.
He has been working to hone an already much-improved midrange game. The past two seasons have been his best in that regard, as he has averaged 40% on shots from 10 to 15 feet and 34% on long twos. Those shots made up more than 40% of his total attempts last year, far and away the most of his career as he works to use that free throw line jumper to pull defenses off the baseline and help with spacing.
"That's something I learned from (former Jazz teammate Paul Millsap)," he explained. "Add something new to your game every year and extend your range every year."
With better shooters dotting the perimeter this year, Favors will also need to be a quick-thinking and precise passer. He could be more creative at time, but he's probably underrated in terms of making the right pass, and there are times he sees and makes passes that not every big man can complete.
So overall, Favors gives the Jazz their best post option, an explosive and agile roll man, improving midrange shooting, above-average paint protection, elite switching ability in space, solid passing and a good attitude.
In other words, he gives them one of the most under-recognized game-changers in the NBA, someone who is almost certainly better than most people realize.

Thank you Dan. Love this article. The type of player is almost as important as the level of play. Favors does all the little things at a very good or elite level. That makes a larger impact on an elite team than great at one area. A good comparison would be Dreymond Green having more value to GS than Blake Griffin would. Or Tim Duncan adding more value than Demarcous Cousins. Favors will be that guy for Utah as the other players namely PG step up their games.

Since January 1, 2016, The Netherlands have the Data Breach Notification Obligation, being the first European country with such a legislation. In Belgium on the contrary, there is a lot of confusion regarding such a legislation. Now, only Belgian telecom companies have to report data laws. However, according to research by Belgian trade organization BELTUG, only half of Belgium companies realize they have to report these, but nobody truly knows what should happen.
Netherlands perfect example
According to Fox-IT's Erik De Jong, Belgium should have to start offering clarity and unity in their policy regarding data breaches. The Netherlands can be a perfect example in this. According to him, a legislation as the Data Breach Notification Obligation is especially a call to action for a lot of (Belgian) companies to take cybersecurity serious and put it on the agenda of the C-Suite, as a data breach can have consequences regarding the company's financial situation, its reputation with its shareholders and the situation of its cybersecurity.

If you had to guess which airline transports the most passengers every year, would your answer be Delta? Well if it was, you'd be absolutely right as Delta Airlines continues to carry more passengers each year than any other airline. I can tell you I've flown Delta a few times, without any problems or delays and if I had the excellent credit needed to own an airline miles credit card, the Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card from American Express would definitely be in my wallet (lousy student loans!).
New members of the Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Card from American Express will earn 30,000 bonus miles toward Award Travel after you spend $500 on the Card within the first three months of Cardmembership.. Those 30,000 miles are good enough for a free flight on Delta and when you own this card, your first checked bag is always fee. Check your first bag free on every Delta flight – that's a savings of up to $200 per round trip for a family of four.
Earn As You Spend: Get 2X miles on Delta purchases and 1X miles for all other eligible dollars spent. Cardholders of the Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card from American Express will also receive Premium Travel Perks: Settle in sooner with Priority Boarding, and enjoy the skies with 20% in-flight savings to use toward meals, beverages, and movies awarded as a statement credit, which is a nice added perk I cannot find on any other airline mile credit card.
Here are a few other added benefits of owning the Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Card from American Express:
- Receive priority boarding on Delta flights
- Using your card covers eligible purchases from theft, damage, and loss, up to $1,000 per occurrence, for up to 90 days
A variable purchase APR of 15.24% – 19.24% can be found on the Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Card from American Express and if you're late a few times with payment, you could fall into the penalty APR of 27.24%. The purchase APR you'll receive depends on just how excellent your credit is and $0 introductory annual fee for the first year, then $95 … giving you some time to decide if this card is right for you. Terms and Restrictions Apply.
As far as airline credit cards go, the Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Card from American Express is definitely one of the best. A nice up-front bonus with a good rewards program, great perks and an "OK" APR makes this a must own for anyone that flies Delta airlines more than just once or twice a year. The amount of money saved on flights and checked bags is easily in the hundreds of dollars annually (if not thousands for frequent fliers) and to own this card, visit the Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card from American Express application page using any link found within.

Colombia's Eternal Agony
Colombia is in better shape today than it has been for years, thanks largely to President Alvaro Uribe's leadership, but it remains a bizarre place, one facing strange and intractable challenges. Colombia's FARC guerrillas have held some of their kidnapping victims for many years. Child soldiers still linger in paramilitary groups, and there are compromising video recordings of leading Colombian politicians and drug lords. Perhaps weirdest of all, there are imprisoned guerrillas who refuse to be set free, and a government that insists on liberating them, even against their will.
Uribe was re-elected just over a year ago by a landslide, a tribute to the popularity and effectiveness of his "democratic security" policy of combating both the guerrillas and the country's generalized violence. Latin America's oldest standing two-party system was decimated in that election, as the Polo Democrático presidential candidate won more votes than the Liberal Party's contender, finally giving electoral expression to left-wing forces that had never been able to see more potential for change at the ballot box than by fighting in the mountains.
Negotiations on Colombia's Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United States had been finalized. Even the questionable deal Uribe cut with the right-wing paramilitary AUC groups, pardoning up to 30,000 of their members for often horrendous crimes in exchange for their disarmament, appeared successful. With Uribe in charge, Colombia seemed to be on a roll.

The Human Factor: the Figure in Contemporary Sculpture brings together the work of 25 leading international artists, in whose practice the human form plays a central role.
Over the past 25 years, artists have reinvented figurative sculpture by looking back to earlier movements in art history as well as imagery from contemporary culture. Setting up dialogues with modernist as well as classical and archaic models of art, these artists engage and confront the question of how we represent the 'human' today. Eschewing concerns related to psychological portraiture, these artists use the figure as a catalyst for evoking far-ranging content, including subjects spanning political violence and mortality to sexuality and voyeurism.
A unique survey of figurative sculpture today, this highly illustrated volume features newly-commissioned essays by authors including Tate Britain Director, Penelope Curtis, art critic and writer Martin Herbert, Artangel co-director James Lingwood, art historian Lisa Lee and Hayward Gallery Director, and curator of the exhibition, Ralph Rugoff. Alongside full-colour images of the artists' works, the book also includes original and rarely-seen material documenting the creation of these fascinating works.

Sam and Max Season One Strategy Guide 2: Culture Shock, Part 2
Go ahead and head past the office to Sybil's. Sybil won't be there, but one of the Soda Poppers, Peepers, is in her place. Go ahead and open the closet door, and the badly-kidnapped Sybil will return back to her desk. The only thing to do now is knock out Peepers. Start by hitting him with the Tear Gas Gun, and then smack him with the boxing glove while he is crying.
After Peeper's limited statement, it will now be time to take out the other members of the Soda Poppers.
Start by going back to the alley by the Desoto, and you will find a Can of Spray Paint on a gold-colored car. Go over to the Brady Culture graffiti on Sam and Max's office building. Use the Spray Paint on the picture, and Specs will come to correct it. Go into the office, and select the Open Window. You will get an overhead view of Specs correcting your improvements on the graffiti. Select the bowling ball and then Specs. The ball will fall down and clock Mr. Specs on the head.
Go back to Bosco's Inconvenience. Go ahead and take the Cheese from the display table. Go on to where Whizzer is and select the bathroom. Whizzer will then need to use the bathroom and will leave his crate behind. Select the cheese and put it in the crate. Whizzer will cross the threshold, and a boxing glove will knock him out. Go on and select him, and he will tell you that Specs knows the hideout of Brady Culture.
Go back to the Desoto, and select the unconscious Specs on the way. He will get up and drive away in a van. All you need to do is select the gun in chase mode and shoot the van.
You will find yourself at Brady Culture's Home for Former Child Stars. In order to get in, you need to fill out an admission form to prove that you have "Artificial Personality Disorder". Take one of them located to the left of the monkey. You will notice that there are three symptoms, and they are different every game.
Get back in the car to Sybil's. Select the Admittance form, and then click on Sybil. She will want to psychoanalyze you, and you must pass this three-pronged test for her to check off that you are affected by Artificial Personality Disorder.
Start with the Inkblots. The key is finding the ones that are related with your obsession. If it is Fame, then answer the questions with the responses about Hollywood. If it is money, answer the questions about money.
Now, on the Free Association, you have to have a Violent Reaction to whatever subject it is. So, when Sybil says a word, take out a gun and shoot her when that word is close to your subject. For example, if you are testing for a violent reaction to dentistry, and you hear the word Crown, shoot her. Also, if you want a violent reaction to hair styling, and you hear comb, shoot Sybil.
For Dream Interpretation, you have a chance to select a lot of weird things. In this room, you can select multiple things that represent your third major malfunction. You have to match whatever the third symptom is. Usually it is the person in question and the bakery. For subconsciously want your peers get older, you will need to select Max as the person, and a birthday cake.
Once you get the form filled out, go back to Brady Culture's Home of Former Child Stars. Insert the completed form into the form reader, and the cage on the door will open. Enter into the door.
After a long cutscene, you will be back at Bosco's, holding a crate. You will be unable to control your actions, but you can do a few things. For example, when you pass by the cheese on the table, you can grab it and put it in your crate. Do this fast.
You will be knocked out and enter another dream-like scenario. You will have to take Brady Culture out in several ways.
On the television, remove the coat hanger on top. Brady will be defeated here.
Open the closet door and you will see Brady Culture made of cheese. Go quickly to the bicycle pump and use it to inflate Jimmy Two-Teeth to a gigantic size. The rat will eat Brady Culture for lunch.
Go to the light switch by the door, and select it. This will turn off the Brady Culture that is hanging on the lamp.
You will notice the floating Max head. Stand underneath it, and whip out the pistol. Shoot the one way sign on the wall, and gravity will reverse itself. You will catch Max's head and add it to your inventory. Then all you need to do is select the head and click on the Brady Culture with Max's Body.
You will awake in Bosco's shop. Go ahead and ask him some questions, and Bosco will mention that he has always wanted to build an anti-hypnosis device of some type.
Go ahead and go see Sybil again. Ask her for help, and she will eventually give you the plans for an anti-hypnosis device.
Go ahead and go see Bosco and give him the plans for that device. He says that he needs an "antenna thing for the top".
Go back to the office and grab the coat hanger from atop the television. Go ahead and give him the coat hanger, and he will make you the Anti-hypnosis Helmet.
Drive back to Brady Culture's home, and you will be able to confront him. Unfortunately, the Soda Poppers will try and stop you. So you must stop them. I found that asking the soda poppers to Become Brady Culture, causes the option of "Worship" to appear. I then asked them to "Worship Me". I then asked them to "Worship themselves". He then keeps saying that everything is about me. This is your queue to tell the Soda Poppers to "Attack Me". The level will end.
