For major capital improvements not listed above, the owner must
submit with the MCI application evidence that the useful life of
the item or equipment being replaced has expired.
The foregoing useful life schedule establishes the period during
which an item is expected to be of service to the building or
building complex, in accordance with manufacturing industry
standards, However, compelling reasons may exist to grant an
owner's request for a waiver of the useful life requirements
stated above. Following are the conditions which an owner must
satisfy in order to be granted a waiver of the useful life
Where an owner wishes to request a waiver of the useful life
requirement, the owner shall apply to the DHCR for such waiver
prior to the commencement of the work for which he or she will be
seeking a major capital improvement (MCI) rental increase. DHCR
will approve or deny the waiver as promptly as possible.
Notwithstanding this requirement, where the waiver requested is
for an item being replaced because of an emergency, which causes
the building or any part thereof to be dangerous to human life
and safety or detrimental to health, an owner may apply to the
DHCR for such waiver at the time he or she submits the MCI
If the waiver is denied the owner will not be eligible for an MCI
increase. If the waiver is granted the useful life requirement
will not be a factor in the determination of eligibility for the
MCI increase. However, approval of the waiver in no way assures
that the MCI increase will be granted. The MCI application will
be subject to the same scrutiny in processing on every other
condition for eligibility and the increase may be denied if the
owner is found ineligible on any other grounds.
An owner may apply for, and the DHCR may grant, a waiver of the
useful life requirements as stated in the Useful Life Schedule if
the owner satisfactorily demonstrates that one or more of the
following circumstances existed:
1) The item or equipment cannot be repaired and must be
replaced during its useful life because of a fire,
vandalism or other emergency, or "act of God" resulting
in an emergency: or
2) The item or equipment needs to be replaced since such
item or equipment is beyond repair, or that spare parts
are no longer available, or that the required repairs
would cost more than 75% of the cost of the total
replacement of the item or equipment. Certification by
a duly licensed engineer or architect, who has no
relationship, financial or otherwise, with the owner,
shall be considered substantial proof of such
condition(s). The owner may also be required to submit
proof that the item or equipment was properly
maintained. Such Proof could include receipts for
repairs and parts or maintenance logs.
3) (a) An appropriate New York State or local
governmental agency has determined that the item
or equipment needs to be replaced as part of a
government housing program;
(b) For the owner to qualify for a New York State or
local government long-term loan or insured loan,
the governmental lender or insurer requires the
remaining useful life of the building or building
complex, as well as the component parts of such
building or building complex, to be as great as or
greater than the term of the loan agreement.
4) The replacement of an item or equipment which has
proven inadequate, through no fault of the owner,
provided that there had been no major capital
improvement rent increase for that item or equipment
being replaced
In the event that DHCR determines that an installation qualifies
for a waiver of the useful life requirements, the agency may:
1) where no previous increase was granted within the useful
life of the item or equipment being replaced and the cost of
repair would equal or exceed the cost of replacement DHCR
would approve 100% of the substantiated cost of the item or
equipment, including installation;
2) where no previous increase was granted within the useful
life of the item or equipment being replaced and the cost of
repair is more than 75% of the cost of replacement DHCR
would grant a prorated increase based upon the remaining
useful life.
3) where it is determined that an item is eligible to be
replaced during its useful life, the increase granted shall
be the difference between the substantiated cost of the item
or equipment, including installation, and (a) the amount
reimbursed from other sources, such as insurance proceeds,
or any other form of commercial guarantee, etc., and (b) the
amount of any increase previously granted for the same item
or equipment either as a major capital improvement, or
pursuant to other governmental programs, if such item or
equipment has not exhausted at least 75 percent of its
useful life at the time of the installation.
4) where it is determined that an item is eligible to be
replaced even though it has not exhausted 75% of its useful
life and it was installed as part of a substantial
rehabilitation or the new construction of a building for
which the owner set initial building-wide rents, DHCR may
reduce the increase granted as a MCI by a proportion of the
remaining useful life of such item or equipment.
Notwithstanding the above, where an owner has substantially
commenced work on the major capital improvement installation
before the effective date of this Operational Bulletin, based on
prior DHCR decisions and policies, and where adherence to these
requirements or to the conditions of the waiver would create an
undue hardship, the owner's application will be determined in
accordance with those prior decisions and policies.
Elliot G. Sander
Deputy Commissioner for Rent Administration
On September 26, 1990, the DHCR issued Operational Bulletin: 90-
2, Useful Life Schedule for Major Capital Improvements.
In an effort to inform owners of the issuance of the Useful Life
Schedule, the DHCR distributed it through the Owner Advisory
Committee to owner organizations and publications.
In recognition of the fact that there may be a lag between the
DHCR promulgation of the Bulletin and the time its existence
becomes general knowledge, the DHCR is providing a grace period
(September 26, 1990 February 1, 1991) before fully implementing
the waiver provisions of the Useful Life Schedule. The Bulletin,
which is effective as of September 26, 1990, requires an owner
who requests a waiver of the useful life requirements to file
before commencing work on the major capital improvement
installation. For the duration of the grace period an owner may
file a request for a waiver after the work has begun. The DHCR
will determine an owner's application for waiver in accordance
with prior decisions and policies, if an owner can demonstrate
that work was substantially commenced on the major capital
improvement prior to February 1, 1991 and adherence to the
requirements of the bulletin or to the conditions of the waiver
would create an undue hardship.
A request for a waiver should be made by sending a letter to the
MCI Unit of the DHCR explaining the circumstances and including
the necessary documentation.

In brief, the three charges of the PSC are:
to hold a conference (tentatively planned for April 2010) to facilitate information sharing and coordination among ISO technical committees (TCs) involved in privacy-related work;
to develop a common terminology document on privacy and privacy principles; and
to create a live inventory of privacy-related work.
In addition, the TMB has directed the PSC to further explore the feasibility of three additional recommendations contained in the earlier task force report. These include dialoguing with public policy organizations on commonality of privacy principles, developing an ISO privacy-management standard, and developing a common framework of privacy standards. The PSC has been asked to provide the TMB with an outline of its proposed workplan and related timeframes by June 2010.
Membership in the PSC is open to representatives of ISO TCs working in the privacy field, experts to be named by TMB members, and other experts to be identified and added if necessary. The Secretariat of the PSC is assigned to ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee (JTC) 1, subcommittee (SC) 27, IT Security Techniques. Krystyna Passia of DIN, the ISO member body from Germany, will act as the Secretary of the PSC. The PSC will be chaired by Dr. Johannes Messer, a technical relations executive with IBM in Germany and a long-term, actively participating expert in the German mirror committee to SC 27.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) ISO Council (AIC) has approved the appointment of Mark MacCarthy, an adjunct professor at Georgetown University's Communication, Culture, and Technology Program and former senior vice president of global public policy for Visa Inc., to serve as ANSI's expert to the PSC. Mr. MacCarthy served as ANSI's expert on the earlier TMB privacy task force.
The AIC also has approved the appointment of Scott Matthews, acting assistant director in the Office of Technology and Electronic Commerce at the U.S. Department of Commerce, to chair the ANSI virtual U.S. Technical Advisory Group (TAG) that will provide support and input to ANSI's expert on the PSC.
Persons interested in participating in the ANSI virtual TAG or signing up for its distribution list to receive information regarding this activity should contact Jim McCabe, ANSI senior director of consumer relations and IDSP, at email@example.com. It is anticipated that the virtual TAG will carry out its work via conference call and electronically as needed.

Is Love at 1st sight is really a Love...or just an infactuation/attraction?
4 responses

Oh, I think that the quickening of your heart at first sight that causes feelings of attraction and infactuation can be the beginning of the emotional bonds of love long-lasting. But one should be honest and discerning of their feelings, and proceed with caution, love, true love will always reveal its self -- Or so has been my experience :) -- Best wishes :)

It is mainly people acting on lust if anything.There truly is no such thing as love at first sight.

It can be, if the chemistry kicks in, sometimes first sight love is the strongest just means it was meant to be...

New York Lincoln Center's more than just a place to bring visiting parents or annoy girlfriends with ill-timed yawns during Madama Butterfly -- it's also a place surrounded by quality restaurants deserving of your hard-earned ducats. We've outlined 10 must-hit eateries within walking distance of this upper-crusty cultural bastion, from a BYOB Haitian place to a historic Italian date spot.
Best burger: P.J. Clarke's
44 W 63rd St
While it might lack the historic charm of the original 55th St location, the P.J. Clarke's directly opposite Dante Park still serves up the best burger-and-beer combination within walking distance of Lincoln Center. Post up at the bar with a pint and a Cadillac burger, or share a trio of sliders with a fellow meat-lover -- the choice is yours!
Best pizza: Casabianca Pizzeria
503 W 57th St
Serving classic NY-style slices on grease-absorbing paper plates, Casabianca's your go-to for pizza and pizza-related foodstuffs (stromboli, garlic knots, etc.). There's also a grilled chicken salad here that'll blow your hair back, inasmuch as a person's hair can be blown back by a grilled chicken salad. Continue Reading
Best seafood: Atlantic Grill
49 W 64th St
This is actually a solid play for surf OR turf (try the grilled filet or the organic chicken), but unless you're a diehard meatist, your move should be one of the fishier dishies. Opt for the shrimp dumplings, pan-roasted salmon, or seared bigeye tuna -- or, even better, go rogue with the six-piece sushi sampler.
Best Italian: Lincoln Ristorante
142 W 65th St
With its glass-walled dining room and open-kitchen format, this Lincoln-Center-adjacent restaurant lets you observe the chefs prepare your meal while passersby watch you observing them. It's basically Inception, but with high-end pasta dishes and crispy pork cutlets instead of dream heists and BRAAAAM.
Best Mexican: Rosa Mexicano
61 Columbus Ave
The tableside guac preparation, pomegranate margaritas, chile relleno, and mahi-mahi tacos are all excellent reasons to hit up the UWS location of this modern Mexican chain, but its expansive tequila selection (75+ bottles!) might just be the ultimate deal-sealer. Just know that whatever you end up getting, you'll be paying UWS prices for it.
Best cheap eats: La Dinastia
145 W 72nd St
Located right off the 1 train stop at 72nd St, La Dinastia combines Asian and Latin cuisine at a price point that's tailor-made for the "I just blew my paycheck on these Nutcracker tickets" set. Menu highlights include the pot roast, the beef stew, the pork dumplings, and the fried chicken -- and of course, the portions are massive as well.
Best sandwiches: Parm
235 Columbus Ave
The UWS outpost of this beloved Italian shop serves up the same hearty semolina sammies as its Downtown forebear, from chicken francese to the eponymous Parm itself, served in roll, hero, or platter form. If you're up for something new, there's also the messy-yet-delicious Randy Levine sandwich: char siu pork, half-sour pickles, and spicy mustard on a garlic bread roll.
Best brunch: Cafe Luxembourg
200 W 70th St
This UWS spot gets packed during prime-time brunch hours, so reservations are a must. Once you're actually in your seat, though, the maddening crowd is swiftly drowned out by lobster rolls, ricotta pancakes, and the kind of French onion soup you'd arm-wrestle your own mother for. Arm-wrestling your mom at the table isn't the best look, though, so maybe just order two bowls of soup.
Best BYOB: Le Soleil
858 10th Ave
If you've never had Haitian food, this is the place to amend that glaring error: the fried goat, griot, and red snapper are all excellent, and there's a rotating menu with special items for each day of the week. The milkshakes are on point as well, but the fact that you can bring your booze of choice to enjoy with your meal is what pushes this place over the top.
Best date spot: The Leopard at des Artistes
1 W 67th St
This classic New York establishment is built on the bones of the iconic Café des Artistes, and that history is a big part of why you're going here: the walls feature the original restaurant's famous murals, which set the tone and serve as great conversation starters. Of course, there's more to this place than reliving your favorite trenchant insights from My Dinner with Andre: the Southern Italian fare (like homemade pappardelle and three-meat tortellini) is some of the best in the city.

That's right folks, the upcoming project that I alluded to a few weeks ago is our new house! We bought a house! I feel like a proper adult now…
Waaaaay back in March, we listed our flat on the market and started hunting for the perfect house. We debated a few areas and neighbourhoods, but in the end came back to the good ol' London Borough of Bexley. Our new house is actually just around the corner from the flat!
When it came to the neighbourhood pros and cons, we looked at commute (we both work in London), schools (both for resale and in case we're still living here by then), house prices (could we afford to live there), resale potential (could we make money) and the overall 'feel' of the neighbourhood. Some of the areas seemed amazing on paper but when we visited them and walked around… just didn't feel right.
Some neighbourhoods were too 'up-and-coming' (to put it nicely). We knew the value could go up over the next 5-10 years but didn't really feel comfortable living there. Others were too pricey (here's looking at you Hither Green); we debated Sevenoaks, because we liked it's 'quintessential English' feel, but the commute and prices just made it unsuitable.
So we sat down, talked through everywhere we had looked at and realised that we both actually liked living in Sidcup! It's not that we were lazy and didn't want to move – Sidcup has a lot going for it. I actually can't understand why the market here isn't more expensive!(more…)

|Supplies needed for this project are: clutch, newspaper, Mod Podge Glue in matte, glitter of your choice, paper plate, foam brush ,and a plastic bag.
|I put the bag over the interior because the material that is lined inside is my favorite part.
|I am loving cobalt blue, and color blocking. So, I decided to use the blue glitter at the top of the clutch. One more supply you will need is packaging tape to keep the blue glitter only at the top. Again, the trick is about 4 to 5 coats.
|One of the main reasons I loved this bag was the interior fabric. To ensure no glue gets in the interior, make sure to put a plastic bag inside.
|I think the final product turned out fabulous. I can't wait use to use this clutch. Give it a try and let me know how it worked for you.

Love was once considered a highly spiritual emotion. Some sages believed it to be a form of giving that should be extended to society at large, as well as intimates. In the center of the Chinese character for Love is the "heart" pictogram, above is "breath" and below is "graceful movement". Love can be seen as a form of inspiration. It breathes Life into the heart and brings forth grace to the body.

For their fourth game in 10 days, all of which were at home, with the prospect of a minimum further 10 games to be played by May 9th, Newcastle Benfield rang the changes for the visit of Ryhope CW. Out went the experienced quartet Andrew Grainger, Mark Turnbull, Alex Nisbet and Paul Brayson to give game time to Dan Nimmins, Richie Slaughter, Marc Dummett and Luke Carr.
During the first 45 minutes this cannot be said to have worked, as the home side were played off the park in the opening half an hour, before finally regaining a foothold in the game with a much improved performance in the final third of the opening period.
Despite the weather over the previous months and the number of games played recently, the pitch at Sam Smith's was looking in fine shape, once the broken down mower had been pushed from the far side in the moments before kick-off that is. Unfortunately, while the surface was well grassed and free of mud, the drying out process was not uniform and the bounce was uneven. This had the effect of putting Benfield off their passing game and playing into the hands of Ryhope's high pressing, hard running tactics.
The discomfited home side fell behind on 10 minutes when a high, hopeful ball bounced unexpectedly at the edge of the area, deceiving keeper Nimmins and allowing JOE MELVIN to put the visitors ahead with their first serious effort of the game. Prior to this, Jack Devlin had twice unluckily failed to get enough on crosses by Luke Carr to really test keeper Johnny Ball.
For the next 20 minutes, the game followed a pattern of Benfield attempting to build patiently from the back and being hurried out of their stride by the tireless visitors, resulting in speculative long balls or misplaced passes that saw any attacking intent thwarted. On 29 minutes, Ryhope went 2-0 ahead when captain KYLE DAVIS shot through the legs of a fatally exposed Nimmins. Moments later it could have been 3, when Davis intercepted a Dummett clearance and fired past Nimmins, only for Lewis Scorgie, who was excellent throughout and seemed a natural skipper in the place of Mark Turnbull, deftly cleared the ball off the line with the outside of his foot. After this, the home side began to get their act together and Richie Slaughter was inches away from halving the deficit with a low drive on 41 minutes.
After the break, Benfield introduced Jake Orrell for Dylan McEvoy and the former Spennymoor man's presence transformed the game. Within seconds of entering the fray, he drove through the Ryhope defence and crossed for a suspiciously offside looking Joe Hailes to tap in from 6 yards. The home side swarmed forward and Jack Devlin was denied an immediate equaliser by an agile stop by Ball, who spread himself commendably. Moments later Slaughter set Orrell free and his effort rolled agonisingly wide of the back post. At the other end, desperate defending kept Ryhope at bay when Nimmins dropped a cross at the feet of Melvin.
Despite being unrecognisable from the sorry outfit of the first period, Benfield could not fashion another goal and Ryhope weathered the storm. There was one final late flurry when Brayson, on as a late substitute, collected an astute through ball from Devlin and fired just wide of the post. Thus, Ryhope completed a league double over Benfield, both by a 2-1 scoreline and the home side were left to reflect on missed chances, though still encouraged by a 2-1 win over the same opponents in the League Cup quarter final a while back, which is where the real interest must lie between now and the end of the season.

Psoriasis, Eczema and Skin Conditions - How Hypnosis Helps
The skin - the body's largest organ
We tend to ignore our skin until we get a cut or a blemish which reminds us of its existence, often thinking of it as no more than mere wrapping to protect the delicate organs of the body.
To begin to understand its problems, it is important to realize that the skin itself is a complex organ, as complex as the heart, the lungs, and the liver. In fact it is the body's largest organ, and certainly one of the most sensitive ones.
Clearly, skin must be sensitive to its environment to allow us to function properly. For example, when our skin temperature rises, blood flow through the skin increases and sweat glands secrete liquid whose evaporation prevents the body's inner temperature from rising; when the temperature drops, vessels constrict to conserve body heat.
To sense and respond to the outside world in this and other ways, the skin contains many millions of nerve endings that are closely connected to the body's control centre - the brain
Thanks to these close links with the nervous system, the skin is acutely sensitive to and reflective of emotional events as well. Think for a moment of the emotions that cause change in the skin:
It turns pale and clammy when we experience anxiety
It blushes when we're embarrassed
It glows when we're happy
It produces "goose bumps" when we are fearful
When stress occurs in our lives, and we experience emotional difficulties, these emotional states can make conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, or other common conditions of the skin much more likely.
Our skin "feels" our emotions
It is important to understand that we don't always "feel" emotions in the way we may think that we do. At times our efforts to not express or feel emotion can cause the body to express those very emotions in other ways. Our efforts to protect ourselves from our feelings can cause more trouble than the feelings would themselves as our mind and body find other ways or expressing the very emotions we are trying to mask.
Like other organs of the body, such as the heart which is subject to stress, the skin, in a sense, leads an emotional life of its own filled with the feelings a person has avoided in a fruitless attempt to protect themselves. The skin effectively "feels" for you. It can't talk in words but its emotional language may be expressed by an appearance of rashes, eczema or an outbreak of psoriasis.
How does emotional distress trigger these problems? As researchers learn more about the skin, the emotions and the brain , the key discovery appears to be the body's ability to turn intensely experienced ideas and fantasies into physical realities.
This is the same principle which governs the "fight and flight" response. When we perceive danger, real or imagined, our bodies go into high alert. Most of the changes happen in our brain, nervous system, lungs, heart and muscles before we are even consciously aware of any danger.

Posting about Patrick Stewart last week made me think of other celebrity stories where I actually met the celebrity. Way back in 1992 Peter O'Toole had published the first volume of his memoirs, Loitering with Intent. I attended a signing appearance here in St. Paul at a bookstore that no longer exists.
Peter was running late, and a crowd of more than a hundred people was waiting patiently. Suddenly the crowd parted, and Peter, a head taller than anyone else in the room, walked briskly through us commoners in his inimitable lanky way. Women from sixteen to sixty swooned, as did approximately 10 percent of men. In his mid-sixties at the time, he still had an amazing aura of energy (metaphorically speaking), the quintessential magnetic personality.
I knew what I wanted him to write in the book. One of my favorite movies of his is the 1982 comedy My Favorite Year, in which he plays a washed-up drunk of an actor riding on the fame of bygone days. There's a great deal of self-awareness in the role, you could say. In his first scene he shows up in the offices of a Sid Caesar–type show on which he's the guest star, drunk as a skunk, and passes out. The boss wants to fire him on the spot. A young writer on the show bets that he'll still be able to do the show later that week. Another writer takes the bet. Then Peter rises up, glares at the guy who bet against him, and says "Double the lad's bet for me, you toad," before he slowly timbers to the floor. What a great personalization that line would be.
However, as my turn approached, I saw the sign: "No personalizing." Peter was just signing his name. When there's a lot of people, it's common to keep the line moving in this way. But Peter was chatting with everyone, so it was probably more about sparing him writer's cramp than saving time.
Finally it was my turn. He focused his incredibly sharp bright blue eyes on me. Even as a straight man I almost swooned. "It's too bad you're only signing your name, because I had picked out my favorite line from My Favorite Year that I was going to have you write." I purposefully didn't say the line to see what his reaction would be. He leaned closer to me. "And what line is that?"
"Double the lad's bet for me, you toad," I said, trying not to do my impression but probably matching the intonation fairly closely from repeated viewings. He sat up straight, threw his head back, and guffawed as only he can. Then he looked back at me, leaned forward again, and said, as he put an elbow on the table, hand in the air, "And then … the fall." He flopped his arm down just as he had collapsed in the scene.
Well, well. He signed his name and I was off, feeling that I had had a genuine moment with him. What a personable guy. The way he talked to everyone, looking straight at you … he really engaged. The whole thing is incredibly clear in my mind two decades after it happened.
So that's my Peter O'Toole story.

Sunny Day whaaa? They aren't for everyone, but they were good.
Andrew Thompson did indeed finish the Barkley Marathons this year. That makes him about the 9th person of 700 to finish this crazy race. He did it in 57:37. That's 57 hours and 37 minutes, less than 2 and a half hours from the cutoff. Insane. And yet, so cool. He was the only person to make it to loop 4 (and 5). On the final loop he faced rain, sleet, and snow. I still say it's cool. Great job Andrew.
I have a few days off work in the next couple weeks and plan to head up into Angeles National Forest for an overnight backpacking trip. Should be good...might be wet. It's supposed to rain a bit the next few days.
Next week we have a couple of friends from the East coast coming to stay with us. Everything weather wise should be cleared up by then. We're sure to share some good meals and good times!
Nicole is plowing through her final projects of the semester. It's been a ton of work and I'm proud of her for everything she is doing. No one ever said grad school was easy, but wow!
I got up into the mountains for a run after work today and plan to go again tomorrow. It's hard going so short, but I want to build up a good base and just as importantly stay injury free.
In other news, Benton got a bath today. Observe the poor quality, low resolution photo.
That is all.

January 20, 2017
CPABC was proud to be a supporting sponsor of "Power, Politics, and Prosperity," the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade's 28th annual Economic Outlook Forum. The forum took place on Friday, January 20, 2017, the day of the US presidential inauguration.
The program included leading CEOs economists who provided economic forecasts for the coming year and examined how America's new government might shape BC and Canada's economies. Representatives from the BC Liberal and NDP parties were also in attendance to promote their parties' platforms, in advance of May's provincial election.
Chief economist and strategist at National Bank of Canada and managing director of National Bank Financial, Stéfane Marion, gave the forum's opening session. In "Success by the Numbers: 2017 Economic Outlook," he outlined how BC and Canada's economies could be expected to perform in the year ahead. He identified maintaining access to US markets, increasing capacity for manufacturing, and continuing to attract young, skilled workers as key contributors to sustained economic growth.
A live broadcast of the US presidential inauguration followed, during which Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. In the subsequent panel session, "The New American President and Canada: Politics of Prosperity," speakers Michael Audain, chair of Polygon Homes Ltd., Graham Clarke, chair and CEO of Vancouver International Maritime Centre, Dr. Ira Kalish, chief global economist at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and Kari Yuers, president and CEO of Kryton International Inc., examined how the new US government might impact Canada's economy. Discussion focused on how a more protectionist US government could affect existing trade agreements, Canadian exports, and highly integrated sectors of the Canadian economy, such as automobile manufacturing.
The forum's third session, "The Economic Balance Sheet: CEO Perspective of the Year Ahead," featured business leaders Susan Paish, president and CEO of LifeLabs, John Stovel, CEO of Reliance Properties Ltd., Ray Walia, CPA, CMA, CEO of Launch Academy, and Susan Yurkovich, president and CEO of Forest Industries. The panelists expressed a mixed outlook on BC's economy. They identified the continued net in-migration of skilled workers and increased opportunities for public-private partnerships as positives, but noted government intervention in the housing market and depressed global prices for natural resources could constrain growth.
NDP and Liberal MLAs took the stage for the forum's final session, "Voting for the Future: British Columbia's 2017 Election." The Honourable Shirley Bond, Carol James, Bruce Walston, and the Honourable Andrew Wilkinson debated hot topics such as liquefied natural gas projects, housing supply, and the Site C dam. The candidates also identified key themes in the upcoming provincial election, including housing affordability and cost of living.
Robin Silvester, chair of the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade and president and CEO of the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, wrapped up the forum by thanking the participants for sharing their perspectives.

A 61‐year‐old white man with significant history of hypertension was brought to the emergency department with sudden onset shortness of breath, epigastric pain, diaphoresis, and light‐headedness for 30 minutes. Examination was positive for hypertension (201/121 mm Hg), tachycardia, and tachypnea. Blood work revealed anion‐gap metabolic acidosis, respiratory acidosis with hypoxemia, and lactic acidosis. The patient was placed on 15 L/min supplemental oxygen through a nonre‐breather mask and later changed to bilevel positive airway pressure, following which there was dramatic clinical improvement. A repeat blood gas analysis revealed resolution of metabolic and respiratory acidosis. Chest x‐ray demonstrated bibasilar opacities. Pulmonary embolism, aortic dissection, and acute coronary syndrome were ruled out. Pulmonology and cardiology were consulted for further evaluation. A comprehensive history revealed occupational exposure to nitrogen gases. As he was a farmer by occupation, the patient had been in and out of a grain elevator filled with fresh corn the day before, 4 hours before the onset of symptoms. He was diagnosed with silo filler's disease (SFD) based on typical clinical presentation and rapid resolution of symptoms with supplemental oxygen. He was started on a tapering dose of steroids. After a stable hospital course, he was discharged on day 3. A pulmonary function test at 3 months did not demonstrate any evidence of obstructive or restrictive lung disease. He was advised to follow up with the pulmonologist every 6 months.
Silo filler's disease, a preventable occupational hazard, results from exposure to oxides of nitrogen. It is prevalent during the harvest months of September and October. An estimated incidence of 5 cases per 100,000 silo‐associated farm workers per year was reported in New York. SFD is likely significantly underreported. A silo filled with freshly cut corn generates oxides of nitrogen within hours, and maximum concentration is reached within 1–2 days. Nitrogen dioxide hydrolyzes to nitrous and nitric acid, causing profound chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. Most exposures are mild and self‐limiting; however, some events may cause sudden death from acute respiratory distress syndrome, laryngeal spasm, bronchiolar spasm, or asphyxia. Oxygen supplementation is the treatment of choice. Failure to use corticosteroids in some patients with SFD can result in the development of bronchiolitis obliterans, a permanent restrictive lung disease.
Acute chemical emergencies can occur as a result of industrial disaster, occupational exposure, recreational mishap or acts of terrorism. However, real‐time identification of specific chemical by means of environmental or clinical laboratory testing is difficult. SFD is a clinical diagnosis simulating acute cardiovascular events, and the appropriate diagnosis mandates comprehensive occupational medical history.

My Xavier Xperience
"There is something special about the Xavier Community. It is a place where I learn and participate in cool activities. We have fun celebrations, like Mardi Gras and St. Nick's Day. I love how we get to praise Jesus and God not only during our weekly Masses but also in the classroom with my teachers and friends. Being part of the Xavier Community is a year round experience. Not only do I get to see my friends and teachers during the school year but also during the summer when my teachers surprise me and my friends at our lemonade stand or attend one of my soccer or softball games."
-Ellie, 3rd Grade Student

Application development and testing in the cloud are gaining popularity, as more businesses launch public and private cloud computing initiatives. Cloud development typically includes integrated development environments, application lifecycle management components (such as test and quality management, source code and configuration management, continuous delivery tools), and application security testing components.
Although technology executives and developers with experience in cloud-based development say there are clear benefits to developing in these environments -- such as costs savings and increased speed to market -- they also caution that there are challenges and surprises to look out for.
[ Get the no-nonsense explanations and advice you need to take real advantage of cloud computing in InfoWorld editors' 21-page Cloud Computing Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay up on the cloud with InfoWorld's Cloud Computing Report newsletter. ]
Despite the learning curve, cloud development is appealing
Despite the potential challenges, for many organizations application development in the cloud rather than sticking with traditional methods makes sense, for the same reasons that cloud computing in general makes sense: elasticity of resources and cost, and reduced operational complexity, both of which lead to shorter completion time.
This article, "Cloud development: 9 gotchas to know before you jump in," was originally published at InfoWorld.com.
