The mission statement of the Town of Westborough's Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) is to ensure the community's emergency response network is trained to a competent level to respond to hazardous materials incidents. This is accomplished by encouraging a partnership between the Town, State, businesses, industries, and residents through the exchange of information, mutual planning, and public outreach with the resources available to the Committee.
Local Emergency Planning Committee Background and Responsibilities
In 1986, Congress passed the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act commonly known as the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act, Title III (SARA Title III). It required each governor to appoint a state emergency response commission (SERC). It also charged the SERCs with the responsibility of dividing the states into planning districts and appointing local emergency planning committees (LEPCs). In 1987, the Massachusetts State Emergency Response Commission, designated sub-areas as planning districts and appointed a Local Emergency Planning Committee for each city and town within them. The legislation required that the committees have representation from a specified number of interest groups such as elected and local officials, law enforcement, emergency management, firefighting, emergency medical services, health, local environmental and transportation agencies, hospitals, broadcast and print media, community groups, and representatives of facilities subject to the emergency planning and community right-to-know requirements.
The Westborough LEPC's initial task was to develop an emergency plan to prepare for and respond to chemical emergencies. The plan needs to be reviewed annually, tested, and updated. Because the Westborough LEPC's members represent the community, they are familiar with factors that affect public safety, the environment, and the economy of the Town. That expertise was essential as the LEPC developed a plan tailored to the needs of Westborough.
The Westborough LEPC also receives emergency releases and hazardous chemical inventory information submitted by local facilities and must make this information available to the public upon request. It must establish and publicize procedures for handling these requests. ~In light of the 9-11 attack on this country, a heightened sense of awareness has been requested by many citizens including what actions can be taken by our emergency resources.
The Westborough LEPC has the authority to request additional information from facilities for planning purposes. It may visit facilities in the community to determine what they are doing to reduce hazards, prepare for accidents, and reduce hazardous inventories and releases. The Westborough LEPC also provides the community with information about hazardous substances, emergency planning, and environmental risks. It must anticipate questions about the extent, health, and environmental effects of routine chemical releases.
Finally, the Westborough LEPC can most effectively carry out its responsibilities as a community forum by taking steps to educate the public about chemical risks and working with facilities to minimize those risks. The Westborough LEPC's ability to improve the safety and health of the Town will be enhanced by the support of informed citizens.
The certification process was created by the Massachusetts SERC to be a management tool and a standard by which all LEPCs in the Commonwealth are judged equally, and was designed to ensure all LEPCs are meeting the goals and missions of SARA Title III.
There are three levels of certification for LEPCs: full, provisional, and start-up. The Westborough LEPC has achieved the full level of certification. This has many benefits including compliance and eligibility for EPA reimbursement grants for emergency response to hazardous substance releases and limited funding available through grants related to planning, training, exercising, etc.

Limbaugh's snow job on the Dem Convention
On the opening day of the Democratic National Convention, right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh [1] labeled the event "the snow job in the summer." But in the days that followed, it was Limbaugh -- not the Democrats -- who buried the truth beneath a thick layer of lies and attacks.
During the July 27 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show [1], Limbaugh made the following false assertions:
Wrong on Clinton speech: In an attempt to refute a claim former President Bill Clinton made in his July 26 convention speech, Limbaugh said: "He [Clinton] claims that the president has withheld promised funding for No Child Left Behind. This is the old cuts in education business. ... There are no cuts in the No Child Left Behind Act [NCLB]. There are no cuts in education." But as Clinton stated, the problem facing the NCLB is funding, not cuts (as Limbaugh asserted). As Media Matters for America has previously noted [2], a report [3] by the Democratic staff of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Education and the Workforce shows that President George W. Bush's 2005 budget allocates $9.4 billion less for NCLB programs than Congress had authorized them to receive. This budget plan would deny NCLB programs "promised resources" for the "third straight time" since it was signed into law two years ago.
Wrong on Jimmy Carter: In response to former President Jimmy Carter's July 26 convention speech, Limbaugh falsely claimed Carter was not invited to attend prior Democratic National Conventions:
"[D]o you realize this is the first convention Jimmy Carter's been invited to appear at? Why is that? Because he's associated with absolute economic disaster." As MMFA has noted [4], Carter not only attended the 2000 Democratic National Convention, but he was the subject of a special tribute [5] honoring his life and political career. As Carter explained [6] during an August 2000 appearance on the PBS program The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, he has attended every Democratic National Convention since his presidency except the one held in 1996.
Limbaugh continued his smears and false claims during the July 28 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
Complimented and then smeared Obama: Referring to state senator (and candidate for the U.S. Senate) Barack Obama's [7] (D-IL) July 27 speech, Limbaugh said: "It was a good speech. I mean, all right? There -- there's no question -- the guy has got it. Now, he may be Left as Mao Tse Tung [8], you know, with his -- with his policies, but his speech last night [was good]."
Wrong on pro-choice speakers not addressing the convention: Incorrectly asserting that there had been no pro-choice speakers at the convention, Limbaugh said: "[W]here are the pro-choice people at this convention? ... We haven't seen them. And they're there, but they're not being allowed to go up there and -- and speak." As MMFA has noted [9], Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Planned Parenthood Action Fund (the organization's political arm) president [10] Gloria Feldt spoke [11] at the convention on July 26 [12].
Used Vietnam-era racial slur: Limbaugh compared Senator John Kerry's (D-MA) televised arrival by boat [13] into Boston (for the convention) to an imaginary "mission" in which the Vietnam veteran-turned-senator approached Saigon in a swift boat during the Vietnam War; in doing so, Limbaugh used a Vietnam-era racial epithet to describe why only Kerry supporters had gathered to await the senator's arrival: "Charlie was nowhere to be found -- no gooks. And if there were gooks, they'd been -- they'd -- probably sent [them] over to Manhattan somewhere, around Madison Square Garden [site of the upcoming Republican National Convention], replaced by locals here, who are very much in favor of the arrival of Captain Kerry."
Wrong on Kerry's first Purple Heart: In attacking Teresa Heinz Kerry's convention speech (during which she referred to the three Purple Hearts her husband earned during combat in the Vietnam War), Limbaugh asserted without basis that Kerry's third Purple Heart, which allowed him to leave Vietnam, was undeserved. Limbaugh said, "[T]his was nothing more than a scratch that a Band-Aid would fix, and the story is, you know, three Purple Hearts and you're out of there. That was the rule. ... Well, he had two Purple Hearts and the story going around is he self-inflicted the third one with a minor, minor injury and the doctor saw it and he got a Purple Heart out of it and got out of Vietnam." Limbaugh was apparently referring to a claim by Dr. Louis Letson that Kerry was awarded his first -- not third -- Purple Heart after receiving a non-combat wound. MMFA has noted [14] that Letson's claim is highly questionable. Letson is a member of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth [15], a group founded to discredit Kerry's record during and after his service in Vietnam; both The New York Times and Los Angeles Times have reported that, according to the Kerry campaign, Letson was not the medical official who signed Kerry's medical records for the wound.
Reported false charge against Teresa Heinz Kerry: Limbaugh also read from an article [16] on AmericanThinker.com that revived the false charge that Heinz Kerry has funded "extreme left-wing" groups through donations to the Tides Foundation: "[S]he [Heinz Kerry] invokes the memory of her dead Republican first husband, Senator John Heinz [R-PA], whose family fortune she now spends on behalf of a Democrat and in support of extreme Left Wing causes through the Tides Foundation. MMFA, however, has noted [17] that, according to the Heinz Endowments [18]: "[B]y legally binding contract, every penny of Heinz's support to Tides has been explicitly directed to specific projects in Pennsylvania," such as "environmental protection or education projects," and not to "extreme left-wing causes."

Replying to marco:
Can someone here explain what is essential to change in it for 1.0?
I added Eben, kimquirk, and jg to the bug. Perhaps one of them can answer the question.
I just split #1543 into pieces (now http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Startup_Sequence is authoritative, I think) and created bugs for the pieces that currently didn't match the design. I take no responsibility for prioritizing the bugs.
comment:5 Changed 9 years ago by Eben
I don't think we're actually making any use of this name other than a visual one - as a nickname, basically. It doesn't have any technical implications or matter for registration in any way, right? Obviously there are a number of ways that having first/last name distinguished can be useful, but I'm not sure we have a use for them at present.
Perhaps a better question to ask is if we will ever need such info. We don't want to force the kids to wipe their identity once we actually do have need, do we?
Either way, we may need to reconsider that design slightly for localization reasons. I assume that the first/last split we're familiar with isn't the norm in all countries/cultures.
comment:6 Changed 9 years ago by jg
- Cc walter added
Indeed not. Family vs. given name may be in either order, and there may be cultures which use a single name. I have a friend whose name is "TV Raman". The letters *are* the name.
I think, personally, with first generation pretty boot done, that all of this can wait until after FRS.
But I'd run this by Walter, as he has to deal with Nicholas.
comment:7 Changed 9 years ago by walter
I don't see any pressing need to resolve this now. When we do it, we will have to take into consideration right-to-left languages and cultures where more than two names are used.

- Summary changed from Name entry does not match first boot spec. to Support entry of additional identity information (full name, address, etc.)
So far, we're effectively asking for a nickname and nothing more. The possibility of adding additional identity info (full name, address, etc.) is something worth discussing in detail, but it seems (to me, at least) that in any case we'd prefer to keep first boot extremely simple, and asking kids to a) recall a bunch of info they may or may not even know and b) type that info when they've never typed before is the wrong thing to do.
I'm changing the title to reflect the decision to be made.

July 09, 2015Written Senior Perspectives: Marissa Gedman "Resilience is the ability to work with adversity in such a way that one comes through it unharmed or even better from the experience." This is the quote that hangs from a tattered and worn piece of paper that I've carried with me from my small double-bedroom in Pennypacker Hall to where it hangs now, in my Winthrop House senior dorm room, holding on by its last thread of scotch tape. When I printed it for summer training motivation five years ago, I didn't realize what a mantra it would become for not only me, but also the people around me.

This may just seem like another cliché quote to characterize adversity, but it has become the quote that has defined my experience as a student-athlete.

The AU Review conducted an interview with Canadian metallers CANCER BATS during this year's Soundwave festival in Australia. You can now watch the chat in two parts below.
CANCER BATS' fourth full-length album, "Dead Set On Living", was released in the U.S. on April 24, 2012 via Metal Blade Records. Once again utilizing the legendary Vespa Studios and producers Eric Ratz and Kenny Luong, the CD brings yet another dimension to the BATS' menacing style of thrash-tinged hardcore rock. Tracks like "R.A.T.S." (featuring guest vocals from Rob Urbinati of SACRIFICE) and "The Void" are laced with the gritty, sludgy groove that first emerged on cuts from 2008's "Hail Destroyer", while the blistering first single "Old Blood" roars with the riot-inducing speed and aggression so familiar to the band's fans. The blazing "Bastards!" also features vocal boosts from DEVILDRIVER's Dez Fafara and AN HORSE's Kate Cooper. Thematically, the album offers a strong focus on the bilateral relationship of dark and light, destruction and construction, life and death. The title track, for example, refers to a close friend of the band who ended up in the hospital in serious condition; only to have the experience cement his will to survive. Whereas 2010's "Bears, Mayors, Scraps & Bones" had a much darker tinge, "Dead Set On Living" strikes a tighter balance between the opposing forces and brings listeners closer to the light at the end of the tunnel by encouraging them to push through peril. Since first turning heads with 2006's "Birthing The Giant", CANCER BATS — made up of Liam Cormier (vocals), Scott Middleton (guitar), Mike Peters (drums) and Jaye Schwarzer (bass) — is one of the hardest-working bands in the music industry.CANCER BATS: New Video Interview Posted Online

Reading List
The Scalability eMag examines topics such as how Twitter re-architected its code-base to improve stability and performance, the approaches Netflix uses to be hyper-resilient, and how Java is replacing C++ for low latency coding. We also look at some lower level tricks such as feedback controls for auto-scaling, and using memory and execution profiling to identify performance bottlenecks in Java.

Contents of the Scalability eMag include:
- Interview with Raffi Krikorian on Twitter's Infrastructure - Raffi Krikorian, Vice President of Platform Engineering at Twitter, gives an insight on how Twitter prepares for unexpected traffic peaks and how system architecture is designed to support failure.
- Interview: Adrian Cockcroft on High Availability, Best Practices, and Lessons Learned in the Cloud - Netflix is a widely referenced case study for how to effectively operate a cloud application at scale. While their hyper-resilient approach may not be necessary at most organizations, Netflix has advanced the conversation about what it means to build modern systems. In this interview, InfoQ spoke with Adrian Cockcroft who is the Cloud Architect for the Netflix platform.

With Iraq in the news again, we bring you a story from the archives, of a local man looking back at the First Gulf War. Mustafa Sugheir shared his story with The Blade this past winter.
The Palestinian American owned the Ohio Overseas corporation in Toledo, which shipped used refinery parts to the Middle East -- mostly Kuwait. When Iraqi President Saddam Hussein invaded oil-rich Kuwait in 1990, Mr. Sugheir's business suffered. All it took was Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat planting a kiss on Saddam.

Donate Soap – Start a Soap Drive
About every 15 seconds, a child dies from a disease that could have been prevented with proper hygiene. The bar soap your group collects will save lives. Depending on demand, your soap will be used in the hygiene kits we distribute to homeless shelters here in the United States, or sent to at-risk people in developing regions abroad. Since 2009, Clean the World has distributed in 100 countries.
Schools, clubs, corporations, churches, and civic groups can get involved by participating in a community soap drive. It is simple, inexpensive, and will help save lives.
Keys to Running a Successful Campaign
- Get started by registering your soap drive online.
- Set a deadline. We suggest a 7 to 14 day collection program. Set up your donation station in a high-traffic area as a reminder that the soap drive is underway. Give periodic updates on the amount of soap collected to encourage more contributions and participation.
- Download posters here. Place them near your donation station, on your collection box, and in high-visibility areas.
- Publicize your soap drive through your newsletter, e-mail list, and social media channels.
- Take pictures of your soap drive in progress. Use photos on social media to encourage participation and thank the people who get involved. Send photos to us and you might see them on our Facebook page or Instagram feed!
- Send us the collected soap. You will be responsible for shipping costs, so encourage others to help cover the shipping costs as part of the collection effort.

Copyright Matters Lecture Series
The Copyright Matters lecture series was founded by Register of Copyrights Maria A. Pallante in 2011 as a community forum to discuss the practical implications of copyright law in the 21st century and to provide education and training to the staff of the U.S. Copyright Office. Through the series, a wide range of invited speakers – including Congressional leaders, authors, market experts, and legal scholars – present topics of critical importance to the copyright debate. Lectures occur throughout the year at the historic Library of Congress and include discussions about authorship, copyright registration, marketplace investment, copyright enforcement, fair use, international norm setting, orphan works, and other updates and revisions of copyright law for the digital age.

Thursday 30 December, 2010
Over the past few days, I've been working on Arabica's DOM conformance. Until now, it's been based entirely on my reading or not of the relevant W3C Recommendations. I've always been pretty confident is was correct, but a recent bit of undirected Googling reminded me of the W3C DOM Conformance Test Suites and I thought "why not".
The W3C tests are defined in XML and then transformed to code using XSLT. It comes with stylesheets to generated Java JUnit tests and Javascript JSUnit tests. Monkeying up something to generated Arabica-style CppUnit code only took a few minutes, and getting that code compiling and running only took a little bit longer than that. Embarrasingly, some of the existing DOM code didn't compile and nobody had ever noticed. Interrogating a doctype for its entities just isn't that common, I guess.
With that done, and to my relief, nearly all of the 500 odd tests in the Level 1 Core suite passed first time. Most of those that didn't relied on loading an external DTD, and those that remained were primarily around the behaviour of entity references and child nodes of attributes. Good to have it all fixed though.
Thanks to those who put these tests together. It must have really rather tedious, but all the tests I've looked at in any detail have been good and sensible.
Will move onto Level 2 Core in due course, but got a hankering to wrestle some more of Arabica's XSLT engine to the floor.
