CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Volleyball senior Mallory McIntyre (Winnipeg, Manitoba/St. Mary's Academy) has been selected as UMBC's nominee for the America East's Woman of the Year award, the conference office announced on Tuesday afternoon.
McIntyre, who was selected as one of two UMBC Outstanding Female Senior Athletes at Monday's Varsity Awards Banquet, led the Retrievers to a program-best nine America East wins in 2013, and then the conference title match in November.
As a senior, McIntyre overcame a mid-season injury to dish out a career-best 1,127 assists, the tenth-most for a single season in volleyball program history. She led the conference in setting, averaging 10.34 assists per set. During the season, she was named the America East Setter of the Week four times, and then was selected as the conference Setter of the Year at the post-season banquet, and also received a spot on the All-Conference First Team for the second year in a row.
The Retriever captain crossed the 50-assist plateau seven times this season and piloted UMBC to its first-ever win over in-state rival Maryland, a 3-0 sweep at the GW/Nike Invitational. In addition, she handed out 56 assists on Oct. 11 as the Retrievers earned their first win in program history at conference rival Albany.
McIntyre has excelled in the classroom, as well, earning a spot on the America East Honor Roll in each of her first two years, and then receiving a mention on the Commissioner's Honor Roll as a junior and as a senior. She is set to graduate in two weeks with a degree in media and communication studies, as well as minor degrees in management of aging studies and American studies.

Frank Bruni wrote a pretty blistering op-ed in the NY Times last week on the Catholic church's funny way of veering between theocracy and secularism depending on which is most convenient at any particular moment. He pointed out things that don't get pointed out nearly often enough, especially by hyper-respectable newspapers like the Times.
On the one hand, he notes, you have the bishops shouting about contraceptive coverage in health care plans, and on the other hand, you have lawyers for a Catholic hospital chain arguing that fetuses aren't persons. And then you have those pesky child-raping priests…
We've been getting a fresh and galling peek into that with the court-compelled release of documents from the Los Angeles Archdiocese, which engaged in a pattern of willful blindness and outright cover-up so egregious that the current archbishop, José Gomez, took the shocking step last week of publicly reprimanding his predecessor, Cardinal Roger Mahony.
The documents show that Mahony and his lieutenants repeatedly failed to report allegations to law enforcement officials and urged accused priests to leave or stay out of the state, lest they face prosecution. They decided, in short, that the church's representatives and reputation mattered more than justice: that the church could hold itself above laws that governed everybody else.
Because free exercise. It's in the Constitution! It totally means that churches can just make up their own laws and ignore all secular laws and legal institutions!
Around the country, the church has beaten back lawsuits by priests' victims and tried not to furnish information about priests' wrongdoing by claiming that such scrutiny violates the free exercise of religion, said Jeffrey Anderson, a Minnesota lawyer who has represented hundreds of victims over three decades. "It's audacious, it's bold and it's across the board," he said.
But the church has simultaneously reserved the right to behave just like any other institution, leaning on legal technicalities, smearing victims and demonstrating no more compassion than a tobacco company might show.
Having it both ways is totally part of free exercise, which is in the Constitution.
From my extensive reporting on the sexual abuse crisis in the 1990s, I don't recall any great push to excommunicate priests who forced themselves on kids. But when Sister Margaret McBride, in 2009, was part of a Phoenix hospital's decision to abort an 11-week-old fetus inside a 27-year-old woman whose life was gravely endangered by the pregnancy, she indeed suffered excommunication (later reversed).
So a fetus matters more than the ravaged psyche of a raped adolescent? And Sister McBride deserved harsher rebuke than a rapist? It's hard not to conclude that a church run by men shows them more mercy than it does women (or, for that matter, children).
Definitely children. That woman with the life-endangering pregnancy? She has four young children. Their lives wouldn't have been improved much if she had died along with her fetuses, I think.
One final verdict is already in. On the charge of self-serving hypocrisy, the church is guilty.

Acer to sell Foxconn and BenQ shares
The sales are expected to result in an investment income of NT$3.12 billion for Acer, based on Foxconns closing price of NT$119.50 and BenQs closing price of NT$36.70 on the TAIEX yesterday.
Acer said that the goal of selling the shares is to increase its profitability in the second half of this year, as its first half net profits accounted for just 32.7% of its 2004 projection.
Acer may release its holdings from Foxconns GDR (global depositary receipt) issue and sell BenQs shares on the TAIEX and to some designated investors, according to market sources.
Acer currently holds a total of 190 million shares, or a 15% stake, in BenQ. After its planned sell off, Acers stake in BenQ will be lowered to 5%. Stan Shih, chairman of Acer, said earlier that he personally will take up a portion of BenQ shares released from Acer to help stabilize BenQs management.

Some credit card companies are set up to allow customers to earn rewards that they can spend on travel and you can sometimes get additional discounts by booking through them. You should also consider joining frequent flyer organizations and other travel groups that give you discounted prices on airfare and other travel expenses. Having reward points can allow you to travel for a lot less so make sure you use these if you have them.
southwest airlines tickets
Southwest Airlines cheap flights operate on a point to point system rather than the more conventional hub and spoke system that many other carriers prefer. With more than three thousand flights a day, Southwest Airlines flights can often be bought cheaply because it is a low cost carrier.
cheap airline tickets
The point to point system may benefit the traveler, as rather than having a central airport from which many of its flights originate, the Southwest Airlines model flies its airplanes between airports, with each of its airports having relative parity with the next. To cut down on costs and enable cheaper flights, Southwest Airlines frequently uses the secondary airports of its origin and destination cities. This may be a benefit or a disadvantage, depending on where the traveler wants to go in the destination city. Secondary airports usually have lower tariffs and charges for the airline, and the reduction in costs is often passed on in part to the consumer in the form of Southwest Airlines cheap flights.
Inventory is another advantage used by airlines to entice potential fliers. Airlines designate seats into price ranges on flights to offer cheap airfare. Of course, people hoping to secure the cheapest plane tickets are attracted to these advertisements. But, most often, by the time you place the call to the airline, the seats are gone.
hotel reservations
Inventory relates to demand, and if the availability is low but demand high, the wait for the cheapest plane tickets can be lengthy. But, this does not mean you will not be successful in finding low airfare tickets. Sometimes, airlines change fares or designate additional seats, depending on ticket sales.

The airline industry is a tough place to survive in, with changing customer demands and competitive pricing, out of the box thinking has become the way to go. While some carriers are counting on acupuncture and organic food to woo customers, others like Spirit Airlines have mastered the art of packing all the in-flight luxuries without burning a hole in your pocket. From implementing viral marketing advertising campaigns to kicking off the use of canned wines, you'll see innovation being implemented by this airline in every facet. The greatest thing about Spirit Airlines is that it gives its customers the leverage to choose the services they demand, meaning you only have to pay for what you value. These are some of the factors that have helped the carrier revolutionize the aviation sector for the good.

From creating campaigns on Mitt Romney at the time of presidential debate to promoting cheeky campaigns on the famous sportsperson Alex Rodriguez, the airline certainly knows how to grab some eyeballs.

The low cost airline USA makes use of consists of a large network of flights and different places. The dream of the normal working class to travel in air survives because of low airfares. In order to pay cheaper fares, one might have to do a tradeoff between airfare and comfort. But, time is important to all and so maximum passengers prefer travelling by air which also increases their efficiency while compromising slightly on comfort. Flights initially were a luxury which not many could afford but now they have become a necessity and hence are being available a cheaper rate so that people can afford it.

If you need a flight today because of a personal emergency, or because you simply need to get away, these travel websites will find perfect last-minute airfare deals for you. So, go on – take that time off, and use these last-minute airfare deals to get the break you deserve.
So, the question is: what is the best site to find the cheapest airplane tickets? Unfortunately, for all the reasons above listed, it is difficult to answer. But I would say that http://www.kayak.com is the best in perhaps 50 percent of the cases. It covers over 140 travel search engines and can often provide tickets at low and competitive prices and this, no matter your departing point or destination in the world. priceline
It is an excellent site to start your search with; you can even make a search using flexible dates. Another site that is worth using in parallel with Kayak and that is comparable to it is http://www.mobissimo.com.
cheap airlines
But remember that even though Kayak and Mobissimo are often a good source of cheap flights, they will not always give you the best price for your ticket. For the other options, it takes a little time and experience to get to know where to search for the best price. Different books and resources are available on this topic. They are worth looking at and could help you save a lot of money on your next trips.
Another website I like to use is Expedia. Everyday they will shows travel deals available to the top domestic and international tourist destinations. They will also include deals packages for "Flight + Hotel". This helps me get a feel for what the average cost is for example, a 4 night trip to Las Vegas. Let's say the price for flight and hotel to Vegas for 4 nights on the Strip is $500-$600 per person from Toronto, I like to try and keep an eye out for deals that are equal to or below this price – that's how I know I am saving money and getting the best price.
book allegiant airlines
One thing about Expedia however is that the price advertised is not always available. If I am looking on their flight deals for last minute getaways, I might see round trip tickets to Miami for $250 CAD (departing from Toronto), but once I click on the deal, it may say the price has increased to $350 CAD instead. This isn't always the case, but it does happen sometimes which is something to keep in mind.
Believe it or not some airlines will charge much more for booking your flight by phone. Because of this it is advisable to use the internet if at all possible to find and reserve your tickets. cheap airline tickets Many airlines offer discounts if you book with them directly through their websites, and you can also browse any of the down top travel sites for a great deal. Avoid travel agencies because they will be adding to the cost of your ticket in order to make a profit.
Discounts & Rewards
aa airlines
Always ask if the airline you wish to book with has any discounts available. For example if you are a student, ask about student discounts. Not all airlines will have the same discounts and they will probably not advertise them either, so always ask!
airline tickets
Frequent flyer miles or other rewards programs might be able to help you save a little money on your next airline tickets or even get your tickets for free, so be sure to find out more from the airline and from the company that offers the rewards program before you try to use them for your next flight.

Everyone knows YouTube has the largest cache of video online. They have all kinds of videos as well. Live performances and news broadcasts. This is where we will get into exactly how to convert your favorite FLV file into audio.
multiconvert.com youtube convertor We will use YouTube as the primary example since they are the most popular. YouTube to Mp3 conversion is a very popular type of file conversion. One of the ways to cnvert YouTube to Mp3 is a firefox addon. Firefox has an add on that will allow the user to convert YouTube to Mp3 however I will say a few things about that. The Add on does not produce quality Mp3′s. It seems it has a default low quality output. However this is still an option.
An ancillary benefit of spreading out is that while such content helps you get organic search rankings, it also drives direct traffic to your site. Just ask any small business with a following on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. Speaking of Google+, authorship of quality content is a big ranking factor and your Google+ profile enables you to have your smart visage appear alongside your website on the search results. Of course, it is smart strategy from Google to promote Google+, but authorship equals ownership which equals accountability. And with their name on the line, businesses can ill afford poor business practices. Their rankings can sour as can their reputation.
new search engine
Google+ has also assumed significance because it offers businesses the opportunity to create local Google+ pages; these pages enable customers to get in touch with the businesses' physical location, if any. The three attributes which Google stresses with respect to local business related information are name, address, and phone number (NAP). Google+ is a great place to put up this information; especially if you can succeed in building a community. These attributes constitute crucial information from the point of view of local SEO and you also need to have them present in the "rich snippet" section of your page HTML. Google considers this as good SEO practice and you will be rewarded with a higher position on the results page.
You should also consider the cost of different products. Some of them can be very expensive. It is important to do your research into the various products that are on the market, so that you can compare prices. At the same time, you would be wise to compare reviews from those who have used products.
flea treatment
The durability of a product is something else that you should consider. With this in mind, you should take the time to look at how long each product you consider is said to last before another application is needed. Products may differ greatly in this area. Look at your options and make sure to look at the cost in relation to how long a product stays productive.
After looking at these areas, you probably know enough to make a wise choice concerning flea control. The research will give you knowledge and you can then make an informed decision.

Special election being held in Maine Senate District 19
BATH, Maine (AP) � Residents of Maine Senate District 19 are deciding who'll fill a seat left vacant by Democratic Sen. Seth Goodall's decision to lead the Small Business Administration in New England.
Voters in the district that covers Sagadahoc County and the town of Dresden have three candidates from which to choose: Republican Paula Benoit of Phippsburg, Democrat Eloise Vitelli of Arrowsic and Green Independent Daniel Stromgren of Topsham.
There are slightly more registered Republicans than Democrats in the district.
For Democrats, loss of the seat would give them the slimmest possible majority in the Senate. Republicans, meanwhile, hope to generate some momentum in advance of the 2014 gubernatorial race.

Yellow fever
Yellow fever is an acute viral haemorrhagic disease endemic in tropical and subtropical areas in South America and Africa, but not in Asia. The yellow fever vaccine offers full protection against infection. Among other mosquito vectors, Aedes aegypti is one the primary urban transmission vector.
There are around 600 million people at risk living in endemic areas and estimated 200 000 cases (causing 30 000 deaths) per year.
Japanese encephalitis
Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a viral disease in Asia which causes inflammation of the membranes around the brain. It is transmitted by mosquitoes and infects humans, domestic pigs, and wild birds. Most JE cases experience a mild fever or headaches. However, severe cases can be dangerous and lethal.
The most affect groups are young children between 1-15 years old. JE is characterized by cyclic epidemics every two years.

Basic Guidelines and Principles for Strength Training for Pregnant Women
DISCLAIMER: The information contained on this site is not meant to replace the advice and recommendations of your doctor and/or midwife. Please consult your caregiver before beginning any exercise program.
Women possessing any of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) contraindications for aerobic exercise during pregnancy should not participate in strength training.
Women who have never participated in a strength training program should not initiate one during pregnancy.
No ballistic movements should be employed during pregnancy. Pregnant women experience joint and connective tissue laxity, raising their susceptibility for injury while performing resistance exercises.
Women should be encouraged to breathe normally during strength training. Oxygen delivery to the placenta may be reduced during any act of breath-holding (i.e., the performance of a Valsalva maneuver).
Maximal lifts and heavy resistances should be avoided, especially after the first trimester when increasing amounts of the hormone relaxin are present. Since relaxin increases tissue laxity, the performance of heavy lifts later in pregnancy may increase the risk of injury to the joints, connective tissue and skeletal structures of an expectant woman. An exercise set consisting of resistance level is not too great during any particular strength exercise.
A strength-training workout consisting of a single set of a series of exercises, collectively involving all of the major muscle groups, should be performed two times per week.
As a training effect occurs, it is recommended that overload be achieved initially by increasing the number of repetitions and , subsequently, by increasing the amount of resistance.
Strength training on machines is generally preferred to using free weights since machines tend to require less skill and can be more easily controlled.
If a particular strength exercise produces pain or discomfort, it should be discontinued and an alternative exercise should be performed.
A pregnant woman should immediately consult her physician if any of the following warning signs or complications appear: vaginal bleeding,, abdominal pain or cramping, ruptured membranes, elevated blood pressure or heart rate, or lack of fetal movement.
Authorities on the subject, however are quick to point out that strength training is not advisable for all pregnant women. Available research suggests that these recommendations mentioned are appropriate. Until more data are available, each pregnant for advice. In addition, training prescriptions for pregnant women who choose to strength train should be individualized.

Vogelsong, Lopez hit market as free agency opens
SAN FRANCISCO -- Signaling their intention to explore free-agent alternatives for starting pitching help, the Giants declined Monday to pick up the $6.5 million option on Ryan Vogelsong's 2014 contract, casting the right-hander into free agency.
Left-hander Javier Lopez, who was eligible for free agency after excelling in relief for the past 3 1/2 seasons with San Francisco, also entered the open market as he and the club could not reach a deal before the exclusive negotiating period ended Monday at 9 p.m. PT.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Signaling their intention to explore free-agent alternatives for starting pitching help, the Giants declined Monday to pick up the $6.5 million option on Ryan Vogelsong's 2014 contract, casting the right-hander into free agency.
Left-hander Javier Lopez, who was eligible for free agency after excelling in relief for the past 3 1/2 seasons with San Francisco, also entered the open market as he and the club could not reach a deal before the exclusive negotiating period ended Monday at 9 p.m. PT.
Giants vice president and assistant general manager Bobby Evans sounded resigned to Lopez's full-fledged entry into free agency.
"We've been in discussions with Javier, but I'm really not prepared to give you an update on that," Evans said, speaking earlier Monday. "We're going to maintain contact and discussion but [he] could be entering the market and exploring his options. We still have interest in bringing him back but we'll have to obviously compete against the market."
Vogelsong, who received a $300,000 buyout, also remained eligible to re-sign with the Giants. But prospects for an accord appeared dim, based on the absence of communication between both sides as Monday's deadline approached.
"Contrary to other reports, there were no negotiations between the Giants and Vogelsong to this point," said Vogelsong's agent, Dave Meier.
"The door's open for discussions with Vogelsong but we're not actively talking right now," Evans said. "We're open to discussing ways to bring him back, but right now we're going to have some exploration of the market."
Though open bidding for free agents had not yet begun, speculation already linked the Giants to the likes of Bronson Arroyo, who has pitched at least 199 innings in each of the past nine seasons; Tim Hudson, the 205-game winner who's overcoming a fractured ankle; Dan Haren, who has won 10 or more games for nine consecutive years; and Ricky Nolasco, who reportedly drew interest from San Francisco last season before the club fell from contention.
None of these starters received one-year, $14.1 million qualifying offers from their former clubs. Signing a player who didn't prompt a qualifying offer will enable San Francisco to avoid forfeiting its first-round selection in next June's First-Year Player Draft.
Evans refuted the notion that the Giants, whose surplus of talented starters in the lower Minor Leagues are projected to reach San Francisco in approximately two years, would feel comfortable offering free-agent pitchers only short-term contracts.
"If you have too much of a preconceived notion as to what you can do, it can really limit your options," he said.
After experiencing an eventful and humbling journey through Pittsburgh, the Minors and Japan that lasted a decade, Vogelsong posted a 27-16 record with a 3.05 ERA for the Giants in 2011-2012. He made the National League All-Star team in 2011 and was the team's leading winner in the 2012 postseason (3-0). He slumped last season (4-6, 5.73), though he sustained a broken right hand May 20 when he was hit by a pitch from Washington's Craig Stammen and endured the physical erosion that befell almost every Giant who participated in the World Baseball Classic.
Evans said that not retaining Vogelsong immediately was "a tough call," adding that timing with free agency was an issue. It's easy to assume that once the Giants realized how many starting pitchers didn't receive qualifying offers -- Cleveland's Ubaldo Jimenez, the Yankees' Hiroki Kuroda and Kansas City's Ervin Santana were the only ones who did -- keeping Vogelsong became less of a priority.
"We're not sure exactly how the market's going to develop. We're not sure exactly what our options are," Evans said. "I think to explore those fully, we need more time, and unfortunately we had to make a decision today."
Vogelsong's possible departure from the Giants also increases right-hander Yusmeiro Petit's chances of making the season-opening rotation as the No. 5 starter. Petit finished 4-1 with a 3.56 ERA in eight late-season games in 2013.
Lopez, who earned $4.25 million this year, could command a more lucrative salary on the open market. He posted a career-best 1.83 ERA in 2013 and led the NL by allowing only 10.5 percent (six of 57) of his inherited baserunners to score. In 236 appearances as a Giant, Lopez was 14-4 with a 2.26 ERA, compared with 13-9, 4.37 in 393 games elsewhere.
If Lopez leaves, the Giants may turn their attention to left-handed alternatives in free agency such as J.P. Howell or Scott Downs.

SAINT-AMAND-MONTROND, France — On a contrasting day for British riders at the Tour de France, Mark Cavendish moved up the list of sprint greats while Chris Froome lost a large chunk of his overall lead to his main rival.
Cavendish sealed his 25th stage win to move into a tie for third place on the Tour's all-time list, during an eventful day in which Froome gave up more than one minute to two-time former champion Alberto Contador.
To make things more worrisome for Froome, he once again had to fend for himself at the end because none of his withering Sky teammates could keep the pace. This is the second stage so far that they have been unable to support him, and with a tough mountain trek looming on Sunday rivals may try to take advantage.
Dutchman Bauke Mollema is 2 minutes, 28 seconds behind Froome, and Contador is 2:45 back – having both gained 1:09 on the leader.
"I'm just happy I've got an advantage of more than two minutes," Froome said.
Sky is down to seven riders – Edvald Boasson Hagen fractured his shoulder on Thursday and Vasili Kiryienka was disqualified earlier in the race for missing a time cut. Also, Brit Geraint Thomas is riding with a fractured pelvis.
"(Edvald's) a huge part of the team and we could really have done with him today and the same with Vasili," Froome said. "They're both really strong engines and the team is definitely weakened without those guys."
Contador, the Tour champion in 2007 and '09 who was stripped of his title the following year for doping, is now looking like a serious contender again after struggling in the Pyrenees.
Froome knows that Sunday's massive climb up to Mont Ventoux could have a major bearing on the race.
"I think there will be more time won and lost on a stage like Ventoux than the last 20 (kilometers) on this stage," he said.
Contador's late attack Friday was timed to perfection and caught Froome cold.
"Near the end we saw that many riders were at their limit," Contador said. "There were a lot of people barely hanging on, and we couldn't have asked for a better result."
Cavendish, meanwhile, was preparing to "have some Champagne" after moving even with Frenchman Andre Leducq on the all-time list of stage winners.
"My team did an incredible job," Cavendish said. "They rode themselves into the ground."
His relief was clear to see as he rushed into the arms of teammate Sylvain Chavanel after the stage. On Thursday his teammates had put him into a great position to attack but he was beaten to the line by Marcel Kittel of Germany.
"Yesterday they gave everything and I let them down," Cavendish said. "The Tour de France is the most incredible race in the world. It means so much to me. When I think about it, it makes me want to cry."
Flat stages are normally relatively free of incident, but the 173-kilometer (107.5-mile) trek from Tours, which is surrounded by the Loire river, to Saint-Amand-Montrond in central France was quite the opposite.
With about a third of the stage gone, the main pack split into three and Alejandro Valverde dropped way out of contention after stopping to repair a puncture. None of the teams ahead waited and he lost a huge amount of time, dropping down from second overnight to 16th.
"That's a really unfortunate position for Valverde," Froome said.
Contador bounced back after being battered by Froome in the Pyrenees last weekend and losing more time in Wednesday's time trial.
"I only can say thanks, thanks and thanks to my whole team," the Spaniard tweeted. "Proud of all of you."
The peloton had splintered after an attack from Cavendish's Omega Pharma QuickStep team, with Tony Martin leading the charge. Thankfully for Froome he did enough to stay with the small group forming at the front as it pulled away from the two groups behind.
The reason for Omega's attack was to try and shake off Kittel – who has won three sprint stages so far – and it worked to perfection.
"We just felt the wind wasn't in the right position," Cavendish said. "So we decided to ride harder, to make the peloton more tired and finally it broke."
Belkin showed no mercy, profiting from Valverde's mishap to push Mollema and countryman Laurens Ten Dam, who is now fifth, up the overall standings.
"I just hope that no team would do that to me if I had a mechanical problem," Froome said.
Belkin pushed so hard that Richie Porte, Froome's strongest teammate, had to drop back. If Froome is left all alone on Mont Ventoux, his lead could be further shredded.

Smoke pours from a fire at the Chevron Richmond Refinery, seen behind Alcatraz Island in San Francisco, on Aug. 6. Chemical Safety Board officials say their response to that incident delayed work on reports about other accidents.
On April 2, 2010, an explosion at the Tesoro Corp. oil refinery in Anacortes, Wash., killed five workers instantly and severely burned two others, who succumbed to their wounds.
Eighteen days later, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig blew up in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 workers and unleashing a massive oil spill.
In both cases, the U.S. Chemical Safety Board – an independent agency modeled after the National Transportation Safety Board – launched investigations. Like the NTSB, the Chemical Safety Board is supposed to follow such probes with recommendations aimed at preventing similar tragedies.
Yet three years after Tesoro and Deepwater Horizon, both inquiries remain open – exemplars of a chemical board under attack for what critics call its sluggish investigative pace and short attention span.
The number of board accident reports, case studies and safety bulletins has fallen precipitously since 2006, an analysis by the Center for Public Integrity found. Thirteen board investigations – one more than five years old – are incomplete.
"It is unacceptable that after three long years, the CSB has failed to complete its investigation of the tragic Tesoro refinery accident," Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said in a written statement to the Center. "The families of the seven victims and the Anacortes community deserve better, and the CSB must be held accountable for this ridiculous delay."
"I think they're making excuses," said Shauna Gumbel, whose son, Matt, died 22 days after being burned in the blast. "Why aren't they assigning more people so they can get the investigation done in a timely manner and the families can move forward?"

Security guards staff a gate at a Tesoro Corp. refinery in Anacortes, Wash., on April 2, 2010, after a fatal explosion and fire.
Chairman Rafael Moure-Eraso and managing director Daniel Horowitz say the board, which has a $10.55 million annual budget, is stretched thin.
"We've made innumerable proposals over the years … pointing out the significant discrepancy between the number of serious accidents and the ones that we can handle from a practical standpoint," Horowitz said. Congress, he said, has been unwilling to come up with more money.
Getting sidetracked
Moure-Eraso, chairman since June 2010, said the Tesoro investigation was sidetracked by an explosion at the Chevron refinery in Richmond, Calif., last August that created a towering black cloud and prompted about 15,000 people in surrounding neighborhoods to seek medical evaluation.
"We decided that it was important to deploy (to Richmond) because the issues that were raised were issues that affect the whole refinery industry," Moure-Eraso said.
Current and former board members and staffers, however, contend the agency's investigations are poorly managed – an allegation the Environmental Protection Agency's inspector general is exploring.
Former board member William Wark, whose five-year term ended in September 2011, said it's "embarrassing" that the Tesoro investigation has not been finished. "The basic, bottom line is the agency is grossly mismanaged," he said.
The board has 20 investigators – four more than it had in 2008. Yet earlier investigations were often completed more quickly.
The deadliest accident the board has investigated was the March 2005 explosion at the BP refinery in Texas City, Texas. Fifteen workers were killed and 180 injured. The board's final report was issued just under two years after the accident.
Stephen Morton / AP file
The Imperial Sugar Co. plant on the Savannah River in Port Wentworth, Ga., is seen Feb. 8, 2008, a day after an explosion and fire there killed 14 people.
A February 2008 blast at the Imperial Sugar plant near Savannah, Ga., killed 14 and injured 36. The final report was issued in 19 months.
Gerald Poje, a Bill Clinton appointee who served on the board from 1998 to 2004, said he finds it "painful" that more recent investigations have stagnated. "Unfortunately, over time, people begin to forget and feel less obligated to pay attention to recommendations," Poje said.
Falling productivity
Created by Congress in amendments to the Clean Air Act in 1990, the Chemical Safety Board was starved of funding and didn't get up and running until 1998.
Authorized for five members, the board currently has three, with a fourth awaiting confirmation. Its staff numbers 39.
The board appeared to hit its stride under Carolyn Merritt, a George W. Bush appointee who served as chair from 2002 to 2007 and died of cancer in 2008.
In 2006 it released nine products – three full reports, three case studies and three safety bulletins. In 2007 it put out eight, including a 341-page report on the BP-Texas City explosion.
Production has trended down ever since. Last year, the board released two case studies. So far this year, it has issued one full report, one interim report – on Chevron – and one case study.
"Would we like to do more? Would we like to do it faster? Sure," Horowitz said, adding that he expects the Tesoro investigation to be completed by the end of this year.
The United Steelworkers union, which represents workers in refineries, chemical plants and other hazardous settings, has been among the board's more vocal critics.
At a public meeting in January, Steelworkers health, safety and environment director Mike Wright said investigative delays "severely compromise the board's mission," adding, "This is a management problem."

Fire crews battle the blaze aboard the oil rig Deepwater Horizon off Louisiana on April 21, 2010. Three years later, there is still no report by the Chemical Safety Board on the disaster.
The EPA's inspector general is looking into this very subject. In May 2012, the IG notified Moure-Eraso that it planned an audit "to determine whether CSB's investigative process can be more efficient to enable more investigative work."
"We are kind of full-time employment device for the IG," Moure-Eraso said. "I don't think that they are competent to basically understand how we work or understand how we conduct investigations."
Choosing targets
The board's choice of investigative targets has been a point of contention.
Why, the Steelworkers ask, did the board follow up on an ink plant explosion in East Rutherford, N.J., that injured seven workers last October but not a hydrofluoric acid release that killed a union member in December at the Valero Energy Corp. refinery in Memphis?
Hydrofluoric acid, a highly toxic gas, is used at about 50 U.S. refineries. The union thought the Valero accident afforded a "golden opportunity" for the board to reinforce the need for "inherently safer technologies," said Kim Nibarger, a union health and safety specialist. "They said they were too busy."
Horowitz said the board was asked to go to New Jersey by one of the state's senators, Frank Lautenberg. No one in the Tennessee congressional delegation urged the board to look into Valero.
"We screen (accidents) very carefully," Horowitz said. "We look at the specific consequences – the number of deaths and injuries and things like that, the number of community evacuations. We look at qualitative factors, one of which is requests from Congress and from our authorizing committees to investigate these issues."
Debate continues over whether the board should have investigated the Deepwater Horizon accident, already addressed in at least a half-dozen other federal inquiries, including one by a presidential commission.
Former board members Wark and William Wright, both appointed by George W. Bush, said they argued against it. "It was offshore. It was something that we had absolutely no business being in," Wark said.
"I don't think there's anything they're going to say that's going to improve offshore drilling right now," said Wright, whose term expired the same day as Wark's in 2011.
Horowitz pointed out that the board, then chaired by John Bresland, was asked to investigate the disaster in early June 2010 by Reps. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and Bart Stupak, D-Mich. Bresland agreed. Moure-Eraso assumed the chairmanship days later, having been handed a record-high caseload.
"We told Congress at that time that we needed additional resources to conduct that work," Horowitz said. "Well, those resources were never provided."
Nonetheless, Horowitz said, the investigation -- which has cost nearly $4 million and should be completed this summer -- was worth doing.
"We're the agency that's going to look in detail and depth at industry standards," he said. "The presidential oil spill commission took the 30,000-foot view, wrote a good report, but looked in broad strokes."

- Transfer News
Vieira-like Carvalho perfect for Arsenal dream team
This has already been one of the most exciting transfer windows for Arsenal in recent memory.
The club have acted with unusual efficiency to snare a number of exciting signings - adding Alexis Sanchez, David Ospina, Mathieu Debuchy and Calum Chambers to an already strong squad.
However, the recruitment drive shows few signs of slowing. With nearly a full month of the transfer window to go, rumours are beginning to circulate about the possible signing of Portuguese international William Carvalho.
In signing Debuchy, Arsenal have adequately replaced Bacary Sagna. The acquisition of Sanchez gives the squad the pace and dribbling ability it lacked in the wake of Theo Walcott's ligament problem. However, there is still an enduring concern about the team's engine room. Carvalho could be the missing piece in the puzzle.
Arsenal's midfield is reliant on having a disciplined holding player shoring things up. Aaron Ramsey is inclined to bomb forward at every opportunity, so Arsene Wenger needs to pair him with someone who offers balance and security. In recent seasons, that man has been Mikel Arteta, who has made an impressive transition from playmaker to pivot.
However, Arteta will turn 33 this year. In the latter part of last season, he looked increasingly creaky. The modern Premier League midfield is dominated by young, athletic warriors. For all his intelligence and technical ability, Arteta struggles to compete against the likes of Nemanja Matic and Fernandinho.
Carvalho would have no such problems. For a start, he's a decade younger than Arteta. While the Spaniard begins a steady decline, Carvalho is just entering his prime. He's also an awesome physical specimen, capable of dominating even the most competitive midfield battles. His height is complemented by huge reserves of upper-body strength. Arteta can occasionally be outmuscled by his opposite number. Carvalho, by contrast, shares Patrick Vieira's gift of being able to hold off two markers before spinning away in to space.
That combination of power and technique initially made Carvalho a promising No.10. At youth level he resembled a young Yaya Toure, making lung-bursting runs into the box to do damage in the final third.
However, he has already undergone a significant evolution in his development. For the past few seasons, Carvalho has played almost exclusively as a defensive midfielder. Since switching roles, his progress has accelerated significantly. He is now revered as one of the most exciting prospects in European football.
His strength and skill are one thing, but what really makes him stand out is his preternatural football intelligence. There aren't many 22-year-olds who share Carvalho's instinctive ability to sense danger. He never allows himself to be carried away, focusing dutifully on his defensive responsibilities. In that respective, he is reminiscent of Gilberto Silva, whose immaculate displays for Arsenal and Brazil earned him the nickname "The Invisible Wall."
All of that makes him an ideal foil for Ramsey. The Welshman must be allowed to express his blossoming talent fully. Installing Carvalho alongside him would offer the team a sturdy platform from which Ramsey could wreak havoc.
He wouldn't come cheap. Carvalho's buyout clause with Sporting Lisbon reportedly stands at £37 million. Arsenal are unlikely to be willing to go that high, but could probably extend to something around £25m. At that price, Sporting could be tempted to sell. It's a reasonable fee for a player of Carvalho's standing.
In the long run, Arsenal could come to see that as a bargain. It might seem like a significant outlay now, but Carvalho has the talent required to anchor Arsenal's midfield for a decade. The puzzle is almost complete. Sign Carvalho, and Arsenal will have assembled something approaching the complete team.

The UIS Strategic Planning Committee worked on the plan from November 2004 until December 2005. The committee included 12 faculty members, six administrators, four staff and two students. The committee consulted widely with UIS constituencies as the process continued.
UIS submitted the plan to U of I President B. Joseph White on January 6, 2006. The other two campuses (Chicago and Urbana-Champaign) are also creating new strategic plans this year.
Major components of the plan
New Mission Statement for UIS
The University of Illinois at Springfield provides an intellectually rich, collaborative, and intimate learning environment for students, faculty, and staff, while serving local, regional, state, national, and international communities.
New Vision Statement for UIS
UIS will be a premier small public university offering innovative, high-quality liberal arts education, public affairs activities, and professional programs dedicated to academic excellence, to enriching individual lives, and to making a difference in the world.
Statement of Strategic Intent
UIS will be recognized as one of the top five small public liberal arts universities in the United States.
The Six Goals
1. Academic Excellence
2. Enriching Individual Lives
3. Making a Difference in the World
4. Strengthen Campus Culture
5. Enrollment and Retention
6. Resources and Infrastructure
Next steps
1. Campuswide implementation begins in earnest after receiving all necessary approvals.
2. The colleges and other units at UIS will have their own strategic plans by this summer.
3. UIS will allocate and reallocate resources consistent with the goals of this plan.

n.— «The word is rockism, and among the small but extraordinarily pesky group of people who obsess over this stuff, rockism is a word meant to start fights. The rockism debate began in earnest in the early 1980's, but over the past few years it has heated up, and today, in certain impassioned circles, there is simply nothing worse than a rockist.» —"The Rap Against Rockism" by Kelefa Sanneh New York Times Oct. 31, 2004.

Between fall trips to Africa and South America, Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick , the technically "retired" archbishop of Washington, stopped long enough in Washington to be honored Oct. 10 for Extraordinary Commitment to Peace by an organization that's itself an active force for peace through understanding, the Rumi Forum.
The Rumi Forum has for 13 years aimed to foster interfaith and intercultural dialogue, through dialogue, seminars, scholarships, study opportunities, travel and other activities.
In honoring Cardinal McCarrick, the forum cited his long work on various national and international bodies, as a human rights advocate, and his emphasis on education and meeting the needs of new immigrants. The annual awards dinner also honored Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and two State Department employees –- Hannah Rosenthal, special envoy to combat anti-Semitism, and Farah Anwar Pandith, special representative to Muslim communities — with prizes for Extraordinary Commitment to Public Service, and Ajla Delkic, executive director of the Advisory Council for Bosnia and Herzegovina, for Extraordinary Commitment to Peace Building – Youth Award.
In brief comments as he accepted the award, Cardinal McCarrick said the honor was sincerely appreciated at a time when simply talking to people and working to understand one another is a necessary and too-rarely attempted necessity.
He paraphrased the 13th-century Sufi philosopher and poet for whom the forum is named, Mawlana Jalaladdin Rumi: "Your task is not to seek for love, but to seek the barriers inside yourself which form barriers to love."
That philosophy meshes well with that of another 13th-century religious leader, St. Francis of Assisi, Cardinal McCarrick said. St. Francis also was known for what today would be considered interreligious dialogue, in particular for his time spent with a Muslim ruler, Malik al-Kamil, the Sultan of Egypt, on a quest for peace at the time of the fifth Crusade.
The Rumi Forum's principles are broad:
We have no one particular agenda and no inherent ideology, other than respect and genuine concern for the spiritual quality and welfare of life on this planet of ours.
We are a nonpartisan organization; however, in principle, we support activities pertaining to the better service to humanity, such as promoting conflict resolution within and between nations. As such, we are committed to universal values of freedom, justice, democracy and the rights of all living beings.
And its advisory board is a veritable Who's Who of interfaith understanding, including a handful of former ambassadors; Catholic, Episcopal and Presbyterian clergy; and academics from Georgetown University, American University, Johns Hopkins, Catholic University of America, George Mason University and George Washington University.

Roy Spilsbury
Roy Spilsbury
Roy Spilsbury has for many years worked to promote CTC and cycling in Wales, but particularly in North Wales. He is a founder member of CTC Cymru, of which he is a previous Secretary and presently Vice Chair, and he is very active in the Right to Ride network.
In 2005 he has been particularly active devoting much time to fighting local opposition to the proposed Glan Conwy cycle route. Roy campaigned actively for the route, working closely with both Sustrans and Conwy Council and he gave evidence at the resulting Public Enquiry. Not just a campaigner he also founded the CTC Colwyn Bay Mid -Week Section, which he particularly targeted at those returning to cycling, particularly on retirement. The result has been a thriving mid-week section where, even in winter, 20 riders meet to cycle along the North Wales coastal route. In partnership with his Right to Ride colleague Maurice Clarke, he also edits the much visited North Wales Cycling website, http://www.conwyctc.fsnet.co.uk/
Roy would be a worthy winner of a CTC award on any occasion, but the beginning of 2006 saw this award take on special significance.
With the tragic death of four Rhyl Cycling Club members near Abergele in January 2006, Roy became the "voice of the CTC" both on the TV and radio, and also in the local newspapers, being contacted immediately after the tragedy by the media not only because he was so well known, but as someone who has been close to the Rhyl cyclists as a personal friend since he was involved in founding the cycling club in the town.
Despite being so personally close to the tragedy it was Roy who was able to give a local and national perspective to the problems facing cyclists on our roads, and shortly afterwards he began campaigning for a commemorative network of quiet lanes to be established near the town.
On winning his award, Roy Splisbury said: "In this, my fiftieth year of CTC membership, it is an immense privilege to have received this Merit Award, primarily for my work as a CTC Right to Ride Representative. Never before have so many people wanted, and needed, to ride a bicycle. But paradoxically, never has cycling been under such threat. Any success I have achieved has only been possible through the superb and often unsung support of CTC professional staff. I would urge fellow members, whatever their skill or experience, to consider joining our Right to Ride Network. I promise they will never have a dull moment - or find a better way to serve their community!"
