Casey renews call for increased pipeline safety funding

February marks four years since five people died in a natural gas explosion that flattened eight rowhomes at the intersection of 13th and Allen streets in Allentown.

In what has become an annual ritual, Sen. Bob Casey used the occasion to push for increased funding for federal pipeline safety funding to prevent future disasters.

"We don't ever want to see what happened in this community just four years ago happen again," Casey said, speaking at the Gross Towers senior housing apartments, a stone's throw from the site of the fatal 2011 blast.

Surveying the scene shortly after the blast that year, he was dismayed.

"It was a cold, cold day, which in some ways made it more horrific," Casey said. "I have never seen a similar circumstance or situation. It was just devastating and horrific."

The federal government's 2015 budget has been passed, but 2016 appropriations are just beginning to take shape. Casey said he wants to make sure lawmakers and the administration maintain adequate funding to support pipeline inspectors added since the disaster.

It's an even more important issue as companies propose new natural gas transmission lines to move gas from Pennsylvania's booming Marcellus Shale to customers, said Chester County-based Pipeline Safety Coalition executive director Lynda Farrell.

The recently proposed PennEast Pipeline, which would bisect Northampton County on its way from Northeast Pennsylvania to central New Jersey, is a prime example.

There are also thousands of miles of transmission lines already in the ground that need oversight, she said.

"We have more pipelines going into the ground than ever before," Farrell said. "We've had 11 pipelines coming into and out of Pennsylvania in the last year or so, and we have seven more projects on the books that we know of at this time."

The 2015 federal budget includes $145 million for pipeline safety under the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, which is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation. That was up $27 million from the previous year.

But it is still less than the $155 million President Obama included in his 2014 budget proposal.

Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski, co-founder of the Mayors Council on Pipeline Safety, said state and federal government attention on the pipeline safety issue has helped speed the replacement of aging cast iron pipelines like the one implicated in the 2011 explosion.

He said more needs to be done to improve oversight.

"We only have less than a few hundred regulators nationwide looking at pipelines," he said. "Pipelines are becoming more and more an issue. Here in Pennsylvania you are looking at 80,000 miles of new pipelines in a state that is only 47,000 square miles over the course of the next decade."

The site of the 2011 explosion at 13th and Allen remains a vacant lot. All that remains are two wooden angels and five white crosses displaying the names of those who died: Ofelia Ben, 69; Katherine Cruz, 16; Matthew E. Vega, 4 months, William Hall, 79, and Beatrice Hall, 74.

Sony admits that Vita is failing to entice third parties

Sony admits that Vita is failing to entice third parties

Eight months into latest portable gaming project, Sony has admitted to key struggles with the PlayStation Vita.

The PlayStation legacy is built upon the still unrivalled third-party support successfully attracted to PS2, so it’s ironic that third parties are proving to be the Vita’s major stumbling block.

Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida told the US version of OPM that: "We're having a more difficult time than we had anticipated in terms of getting support from third-party publishers, but that's our job."

The company recently slashed its forecasted annual portable sales from 16m to 12m units.

MCV understands that UK hardware sales, while never officially divulged, are weak. There is no information regarding the strength of digital software sales.

All eyes now turn to Gamescom next week. The extent of Sony’s plans for its presentation remain unclear, but if Vita is to enjoy a change in fortunes Sony may be wise to bare all in Germany rather than hang on for September’s Tokyo Game Show.

Cologne also assumes increased significance as, alarmingly, if Vita is to get back on track it now looks more likely that this will be done overseas than in Sony’s homeland of Japan, which is increasingly feeling like Nintendo’s home ground.

Integrating Land Change Science and Savanna Fire Models in West Africa

Department of Geography, California State University, 1250 Bellflower Blvd. Long Beach, CA 90840, USA
Received: 12 September 2013 / Revised: 8 November 2013 / Accepted: 11 November 2013 / Published: 18 November 2013

Fire is a key component of many land use systems and a determinant of land change. There is a growing concern that climate change will cause more catastrophic fires, but in many areas the impacts will be mediated by human land use practices. In African savannas, for example, fires are frequent and research finds low inter-annual variability in burned areas in places with highly variable rainfall. This regularity of fire suggests that African regimes are humanized, meaning that they are governed by human practices more than climate variation. Although these fire regimes are stable, they vary greatly over space. This paper will determine the reasons for two distinctly different fire regimes in Mali by integrating land change and savanna fire science. The study takes a two pronged approach to examine the causes of fire regimes and the reasons they change. It tests the notion that land cover (not land use) governs fire regimes by combining long term burn scar and vegetation analysis with local interviews. Results indicate that efforts to link fire and land change science, need to focus more on subtle differences in land cover, landscape pattern and human practices, than on drought, land use or fire policy.

Activity-Based Measurement Key to Driving Advertising and Marketing

Marketers and advertisers, faced with intense budget scrutiny, are clamoring for better ways to measure the return on their online marketing spend, according to a survey conducted by Halyard Capital, a New York-based private equity firm. More than two thirds of respondents surveyed at Ad:Tech New York last week said that effective measurability of an online campaign’s performance relative to its cost was the most important factor driving advertising and marketing dollars online, outstripping demand for detailed customer data and significant customer engagement, respectively.

Looking at alternative marketing channels, nearly seven out of 10 respondents (68 percent) believe social networking is in the strongest position to expand and deliver on that promise over the next two years, compared with one quarter who said branded entertainment and experiential marketing will grow the most.

Some 62 percent of participants in the survey cited mobile as the platform that will grow the most in the next two years relative to others, with 15 percent each citing online advertising networks and display advertising, respectively, as the areas which will grow fastest. Only eight percent expected search marketing to outpace other areas when it comes to growth.

“Mobile marketing platforms and social networks are poised to offer a greater level of user activity measurement and application of the accompanying data to enable contextual advertising around consumers’ points of passion,” said Robert B. Nolan Jr., managing partner at Halyard Capital. “Services on mobile, social networking and other platforms that focus on user action and self-identification to generate contextualized advertisements, and thereby convert users into active consumers, will be the winners in the digital economy.”

“Attracting and retaining customers is essential to brands today,” Nolan added. “Parties who can deliver on that objective and spur customers to action around their points of interest will be rewarded with major marketing dollars.”

Separately, respondents offered a wide range of estimates of how the global financial slump will impact online marketing spend, with responses ranging from growth of up to 10 percent to a decline of more than 20 percent. The largest concentration of survey participants anticipated a 10 to 20 percent decline from current levels.

“The fact that marketers are so uncertain about how online spend levels will fare in this market signals the absence of consistent, quantifiable returns from online campaigns,” said Bruce Eatroff, partner at Halyard Capital. “Businesses seeking to measure the effectiveness of their online marketing spend are mired in an antiquated broadcast model based on passive metrics such as eyeballs and unique visitors.”

Added Eatroff, “A measurement that reflects the level of customer activity – self-identification and pro-activity, for example – is desperately needed to fully unlock the potential of the one-to-one interactive economic model.”

Nestmedic Sp. z o.o.

Creator of Pregnabit®, Patrycja Wizińska-Socha recognized as Innovator Of The Year 2016 by MIT Technology Review

Patrycja Wizińska-Socha, CEO of Nestmedic, which has developed the portable device for testing the condition of the fetus in the last weeks of pregnancy, has been awarded by MIT Technology Review honorary title Innovators Under 35 in Poland and a special mention Innovator Of The Year 2016 competition. This competition recognizes leaders in various fields of new technology that will contribute to solving global problems and improve the quality of life in the world.

In Poland, the competition was organized for the second time. The jury from among more than 150 candidates selected 10 distinguished people, including Patrycja Wizińska-Socha, who was awarded with the title of Innovator of the Year 2016, by the world’s oldest technology magazine published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Patrycja Wizińska-Socha, a medical doctor, is the co-founder and president of Nestmedic that developed Pregnabit® – portable monitoring device to allows safe and reliable examination of the fetal heart rate, pulse rate, and uterus contractions. Data collected by the device are transmitted wirelessly to a Medical Telemonitoring Center – teleCTG, supported by qualified medical personnel and operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

– Pregnabit® is designed to help pregnant women, for whom prevention is particularly important. Ongoing monitoring of fetal health can significantly reduce the level of perceived future mum stress and have a positive impact on the overall well-being and mental condition. Early detection of threats, including by measuring CTG, may be in real contribution to the rapid response and implementation of appropriate medical procedure – says Patrycja Wizińska-Socha.

This type of remote care may be especially important in monitoring pregnancies preceded by problems. The device is currently being tested in medical centers in Poland. Later this year, it will become commercially available.

food that promotes and improves your health

US Recognizes Benefits of Soy Protein

Another food ingredient has passed the rigorous scrutiny of the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) and now can appear on food labels. US officials have concluded that there is now enough information to warrant a health claim that relates the consumption soy protein to reduced risque of coronary heart disease. However, like several other claims allowed by the USFDA, the benefits of soy protein are applicable in a diet that is low in saturated fats and cholesterol. Our diets are complex mixtures of compounds that can work together to alter our metabolism and help fight disease and infection. Saturated fat and foods containing cholesterol have long been identified as major factors contributing to increased blood cholesterol levels, which in turn is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. Total blood cholesterol levels should be kept low and a fraction of total cholesterol called low density lipoprotein (LDL) should also be kept low. Doctors who have warned patients to get the fatty foods out of their diets and reduce intakes of foods high in cholesterol, can now offer some positive dietary advice. Eat more soybean products.

Pearl So health Claim

Soy protein is not like other types of protein in our diet such as meat protein or milk protein; it has a unique structure and also unique effects on the body. Experiments with humans have shown that including 25 grams of soy protein in the diet per day can reduce both total blood cholesterol and LDL levels. To qualify for a claim, a food must be low in fat and cholesterol and contain at least 6.25 grams of soy protein per serving. Soy protein can be added to many foods and so the choice should be large.

An example of the claim now allowed for foods containing soy protein: "Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 25 grams of soy protein a day may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of (this food) provides xx grams of soy protein".

There are many products in the supermarket that are made from soy protein, including soy milk drink, soy based cheese and yogurt made from soy. These together with such traditional foods as tofu, miso and natto are good sources of soy protein. To be sure, foods that contain sufficient levels of soy protein will soon be carrying the new health claim.

FDA Coordinated Outbreak Response and Evaluation (CORE) Network

FDA establishes foodborne illness outbreak response network
Aims at increased coordination, using lessons learned

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced today a streamlined, integrated approach to effectively and rapidly respond to human and animal foodborne illness outbreaks: the FDA Coordinated Outbreak Response and Evaluation (CORE) Network.

The CORE Network is comprised of a multi-disciplinary team of epidemiologists, veterinarians, microbiologists, environmental health specialists, emergency coordinators, and risk communications specialists. Working full-time on outbreak prevention and response at headquarters, the CORE is complemented by trained, experienced investigators in FDA field offices nationwide. CORE will coordinate closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and state public health and agriculture agencies in human and animal foodborne illness outbreaks.

Dr. Kathleen F. Gensheimer, M.D., M.P.H., a nationally recognized public health leader who most recently was the state epidemiologist for Maine, serves in the new position of chief medical officer/outbreak director. In this capacity, she leads the CORE Network and has responsibility for all FDA preparedness, outbreak response and post-response activities.

“The CORE Network builds on the best practices FDA has already implemented in its outbreak response efforts,” said Mike Taylor, FDA deputy commissioner of foods. “And, in keeping with the reforms of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, CORE activities will learn from outbreaks to develop preventive systems, in an effort to reduce them from happening in the future.

“CORE will also allow for more consistency in monitoring and investigating outbreaks, as well as streamline decision making and improve food safety practices,” Taylor added.

“The centralized staff of the CORE Network will work closely with FDA’s field emergency response coordinators and the investigative and analytical teams in the District offices and associated laboratories,” said Dara Corrigan, associate commissioner for regulatory affairs. “Working together will help to both standardize and strengthen how we conduct foodborne outbreak activities in the field.”

“A real benefit of the network approach is enhancing communication and coordination with federal, state and local food safety agencies, as well as industry and consumers,” said Dr. Gensheimer. “Given my background at the state public health level, this is a major priority for me.”

“Our day-to-day working relationship with FDA has been a major focus by the senior leadership in both agencies,” said Christopher Braden, M.D., director, Division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases at CDC. “We have built a solid foundation, and the CORE Network helps take us to the next level.”

“USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and FDA share the common goal to make our Nation’s food supply the safest in the world,” said David Goldman, M.D., M.P.H., acting Chief Medical Officer at USDA and FSIS Assistant Administrator for the Office of Public Health Science. “The CORE Network focuses on learning from outbreaks and applying those lessons to help make this goal a reality. FSIS, FDA and CDC have been working collaboratively over the past year to streamline investigations of multi-state foodborne outbreaks, and the development of the FDA’s CORE Network will enhance that effort.”

FDA CORE Network
The FDA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, protects the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products for human use, and medical devices. The agency also is responsible for the safety and security of our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, dietary supplements, products that give off electronic radiation, and for regulating tobacco products.

LynDee Walker--Buried Leads--Interview, Review and Giveaway

Book Details
Genre: Cozy Mystery – 2nd in Series
Published by: Henery Press
Release Date: October 15, 2013
Number of Pages: 276
When an Armani-clad corpse turns up in the woods, crime reporter Nichelle Clarke smells a scoop. A little digging, and Nichelle uncovers a web of corruption that stretches all the way to Washington, D.C. Politics. Murder. And a dead lobbyist. It’s everything Nichelle’s ever dreamed of.
The cops are playing it close, the feds even closer, and Nichelle’s afraid her boss will assign the story to the political desk any day. Richmond’s new ATF SuperCop makes an arrest before she can say “Louboutin,” but Nichelle’s gut says he’s got the wrong guy.
Her sexy Mafia boss friend warns her off the case, her TV rival is hot on her designer heels, an ambitious copy editor wants her beat, and victims are piling up faster than she can track them down. As Nichelle zeroes in on the truth, it’ll take some fancy footwork to nab this headline before the killer nabs her.
My Review:
This was an interesting journey into the crooked world of politics.  LynDee Walker did a really good job writing about corruption in the political world.  Nichelle is a dogged reporter, who loves great shoes, who doesn't give up on the "story of a lifetime" even after she is threatened.  This is the first book I have read by LynDee and I was very impressed.  This is a fast paced book that kept my attention throughout.  Great job LynDee, I look forward to more and I plan to read the first in Headlines in High Heels series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest review.
About LynDee Walker
LynDee Walker grew up in the land of stifling heat and amazing food most people call Texas, and wanted to be Lois Lane from the time she could say the words “press conference.” An award-winning journalist, she traded cops and deadlines for burp cloths and onesies when her oldest child was born. Writing the Headlines in Heels mysteries gives her the best of both worlds. Her debut novel, Front Page Fatality (A Nichelle Clarke Headlines in Heels Mystery), is an amazon new humor #1 bestseller. LynDee adores her family, her readers, and enchiladas. She often works out tricky plot points while walking off the enchiladas. She lives in Richmond, Virginia, where she is working on her next novel. You can visit her online at

Purchase Front Page Fatality (A Headlines in High Heels Mystery)
Thanks so much for having me today! I’m excited to be here.
1.       How long have you been writing?
Since I can remember. I know that sounds cliche, but my mother swore I read my first book when I was three, and I started writing little stories of my own before Kindergarten. I was a journalist for almost a decade, and have been writing fiction for four years.
2.        What or who are your influences?
People who have encouraged or inspired me to write are many, from wonderful teachers to folks I met while I was reporting who had great stories to tell. My mom was my biggest influence in everything, including pursuing fiction writing seriously. She believed I could do it enough for both of us.
As far as other writers go, I think my influences come from what I like to read, which is a rather eclectic mix. My favorites include Laura Levine, Harley Jane Kozak, Joshilyn Jackson, Hank Phillipi Ryan, Stephen King, Sarah Addison Allen, Agatha Christie, and Christopher Pike. To name a few. I’m a book nerd.
3.        Where did you get the idea for this series Headlines in High Heels?
It grew out of a single scene in the middle of the first book. I was sick, dozing off and on in the middle of the day (and if you’ve ever been a mom with two small children, you know how bad I felt by the fact that I was lying down). This sassy reporter in fabulous, impractical shoes popped into my head. She was in quite a tight spot, and when the idea wouldn’t go away and I felt a little better, I got my laptop and wrote the scene. Five weeks later I had a very long, very messy rough draft of FRONT PAGE FATALITY. And I wasn’t through having fun with Nichelle and her friends, so I started another book.
4.        What do you have planned next?
I have so much going on this year! It’s been amazing, and keeps getting better. I have a Headlines in High Heels novella coming out in December as part of the anthology HEARTACHE MOTEL with Terri L. Austin and Larissa Reinhart. We had a blast, taking our three series heroines and sending them to a seedy motel in Memphis for Christmas.
Then in the spring, the third Headlines in High Heels novel will be out! I’ve just turned SMALL TOWN SPIN in to my editor, and it’ll be on sale everywhere in April 2014. Nichelle is investigating a suspicious death in a teensy town in Tidewater. The local sheriff wants to write it off as a suicide, but Nichelle thinks there’s more to the story.
5.        What are your interests besides writing?
My family. This year has been a whirlwind of writing and editing and book launches and marketing, so generally, when I’m not in front of my computer, you can find me playing with my kids, cooking, or drinking coffee. Or all three at once if I’m feeling particularly ambitious.
6.        If you could visit anywhere, where would it be?
This has a two part answer: my favorite place to go on vacation is Walt Disney World, so that’s usually my first response to this. I love everything about the parks and enjoy going there as much or more than my little ones do. We’re headed to Florida in January, as a matter of fact, and I can’t wait!
I also love the beach, though, and I’ve always wanted to go to Australia. So if I could go anywhere in the world I wanted to go, just myself and my hubby, I’d choose Australia. With time enough to see the outback, relax on the beach, and snorkel in the reef.

a Rafflecopter giveaway

  1. Thanks for hosting the tour today! I'm so glad you enjoyed the book! :)

  2. I can't think of any questions right now, so I will praise the book. It sounds very fun! I am adding it to my to-read list.

  3. Thank you, Elaine! I hope you enjoy it!

  4. Enjoyed the review. This sounds like an intriguing book . Looking forward to reading it.
    Barbara Thompson

  5. Nichelle is an interesting name for a heroine. Is the author a Star Trek fan?

  6. I love the idea of crooked politics in a murder mystery---perfect for today's world and headlines.

Urinary Tract Infections During Pregnancy

By Lara A. Friel, MD, PhD, University of Texas Health--Medical School at Houston

Urinary tract infections are common during pregnancy, probably because the enlarging uterus and hormones produced during pregnancy slow the flow of urine in the tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder (ureters). When urine flow is slow, bacteria may not be flushed out of the urinary tract, increasing the risk of an infection.

Urinary tract infections increase the risk of the following:

Sometimes an infection in the bladder or ureters spreads up the urinary tract and reaches a kidney, causing an infection there (see Postpartum Bladder and Kidney Infections). Bacteria may infect the urine without causing symptoms of urinary tract infections, so doctors usually check the urine for bacteria even in pregnant women without symptoms.

Treatment consists of antibiotics. Doctors choose antibiotics that do not harm the fetus, such as cephalexin, nitrofurantoin, or trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Women who have had more than one bladder infection or have had a kidney infection need to take antibiotics throughout pregnancy to prevent subsequent urinary tract infections.

Bullets From Hell Lyrics

5. Bullets From Hell (5:07)
Hate is all I feel
Disgust is a disease no one can heal
Frustration - no big deal
This suckin' life can't be fuckin' real
Salvation of our sanity
Is what they preach to the silly humanity
But greed and ignorance
Knocks down the level of my tolerance

I don't give a fuck if they endorse political crime
The crap they preach is just like a bad rhyme
Don't trust the one with the smile on the face
Or you'll disappear without a trace

I Suffer from this curse - a verdict of my hate
You won't forget this verse - you can't change our fate
II You won't forget this words - no one can tell
Deep from my heart I shoot - bullets from hell
Bullets - bullets from hell
Bullets - bullets from hell
Bullets from hell

An ambush - I'm born to scream it out
I ain't no preacher - there's no fuckin' doubt
Listen - to this desperate words
Understand - I hit where it hurts

[Repeat bridge]
[Repeat pre I & II]

See - the nightmares I bring
Feel - the unholy sting
Smell - the fragrance of decay
Hear - my screams they will stay

Bullets - bullets from hell [x4]

Aborym Announces Guest Musicians For New Album "Psychogrotesque"

Italian electro/black metallers Aborym will release their fifth album "Psychogrotesque" on November 8th. The band's now-established three member line-up is joined by a number of special guests and friends: Richard K. Szabo of TWZ, Narchost (Malfeitor, Demon's Shade, Stormcrow), Pete Michael Kolstad Vegem (Blood Tusnami and Mongo Ninja), Giulio Moschini (Hour of Penance), bassist Emiliano Natali (Shoreborn), and Davide Tiso (Ephel Duath and Karyn Crisis Band).

Aborym also commented on the guest spots: "The most sensational and unprecedented collaboration on this record, and probably the most sensational in Aborym’s entire career since 1993, is with Karyn Crisis. A historical shamanic singer of the legendary combo metal-hardcore crossover Crisis from New York, as well as pioneer of the female-fronted movement also involved in the past with Six Feet Under, Sigillum S, Voivod’s vocalist and currently in the Karyn Crisis Band together with Davide Tiso, Karyn Crisis returns on the international extreme metal scene with Aborym, through one of the most insane and violent performances of all time behind the microphone."

Palm Abbe Digital Refractometer PA202 From Misco

New Palm Abbe Digital Refractometer PA202

PA202 - Palm Abbe Digital Refractometer - 0 to 85 Brix & R.I.

Laboratory Precision in the Palm of Your Hand!

The new Palm Abbe is a fourth-generation digital handheld refractometer that puts laboratory precision in the palm of your hand. Not just laboratory precision, but laboratory precision for the price of a traditional analog refractometer. It is exactly the kind of bold, cutting-edge technology you would expect from MISCO, the company that pioneered the digital handheld refractometer.

The Palm Abbe refractometer is fast, convenient, and easy to use. Simply place a drop or two of fluid in the titanium well and press a button. The custom-designed microprocessor delivers a nearly instantaneous readout in degrees Brix or refractive index. Nonlinear temperature compensation is automatic and insures that fluids read between 0 and 50 °C (+32 to 122 °F) are measured accurately.

The large LCD display is easily read, even in dim light, and removes the subjectivity associated with interpreting where a boundary line crosses tiny scale divisions. And, it is so easy to use! The user interface consists of two buttons, one to take readings and the other to step through various menu options.

Calibration is automatic and does not require the use of special calibration solutions, or tools. The Palm Abbe refractometer automatically calibrates itself to water and is ready to use in seconds. No more screws to turn and nothing to adjust.

Palm Abbe PA202 Digital Refractometer Features:

  • Beats the Competition Palms Down
    The Palm Abbe refractometer has a wider range and twice the accuracy of the Pal-1. Compare the Palm Abbe to refractometers costing more than $1,000.

  • Digital Accuracy
    Digital refractometers remove the subjectivity associated with reading traditional refractometers.

  • Auto Temp. Compensation
    The Palm Abbe features non-linear temperature compensation that accurately compensates for fluid temperatures regardless or temperature or concentration.

  • Built Tough
    The Palm Abbe is built from high-impact, chemically resistant plastic. It is very water-resistant and designed to operate in the most demanding industrial environments.

  • Choose Up to Five Scales
    The Palm Abbe PA203 may be custom programmed with up to five different scales. Select from hundreds of available scales. If you ever change your mind, send it back to us, and we can reprogram it for you. Whatever your application we have a scale that will measure the exact unit of measure you want or we’ll make it custom for you.

  • Quality You Can Measure
    The accuracy of your measurement is always dependent on the quality of your instrument.

Scandal-plagued former Brooklyn Assemblyman Vito Lopez died on Monday night at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center at age 74.

A longtime player in the Democratic Party and New York politics, Lopez resigned in 2013 amid allegations of sexual harassment of female staff members, which included groping and other unwanted sexual advances, the New York Times reported, adding that two of Lopez’s former aides, Victoria Burhans and Chloe Rivera, recently settled lawsuits accusing Lopez of making sexual advances and leering comments about their looks and attire.

RELATED: Peter Vallone goes after Vito Lopez's power base

A special prosecutor and the state Joint Commission on Public Ethics once reported allegations that Lopez forced his hand up a woman’s leg, tried to coerce women to share hotel rooms with him, asked women to touch tumors on his neck and required them to write flirtatious memos that he tried to use to discredit them, CBS New York stated, adding that Lopez denied the accusations and resigned rather than face expulsion.

Lopez’s legal problems cast shade on other prominent Democrats, including the former speaker of the Assembly, Sheldon Silver, who authorized secret payments to other women who had accused Lopez of harassment, the Times stated, adding that Silver, who is now on trial facing federal corruption charges, had neglected to pass along those complaints to a legislative ethics committee.

Longtime Lopez attorney Gerald B. Lefcourt stated Lopez had invited some friends to his house on Monday night before being taken to the hospital, the Times reported, adding that Lefcourt said,  “Everybody thought that it was some kind of ploy. … But it was very serious.”

‘Micro-organisms survive longer on the plastic surface of a packaging crate compared with the surface of a corrugated board tray alternative’ - suggests a recent research study*. Indications from this research are that corrugated board trays could keep fruit fresh for up to three days longer than when transported in a returnable plastic crate. These research findings help re-enforce the benefits of using fresh fibre linerboards as part of the corrugated packaging construction.

The humble corrugated box – too often taken for granted!

Perhaps it is fair to say that we often take for granted the tough and variable conditions corrugated boxes need to cope with during the logistics chain from grower to retailer.

The strength of the box is key to ensuring that the fruit or vegetables arrive in the best possible condition. A strong high-quality linerboard therefore should be seen as an integral part of the corrugated box construction, helping to create the best possible levels of box strength and rigidity.

Not to be underestimated is the threat to both the packaging and its contents from moisture. Moisture can be created by the contents themselves, or simply as a result of moving between different climate zones. A high-performance white-top kraftliner is designed to tolerate changes in moisture levels and help maintain the box strength and shape, whilst at the same time allowing the whole package to ‘breathe’.

The purity of the linerboard is also a key aspect as many fruits and vegetables are packed in direct contact with the packaging. This level of purity can only really be guaranteed through the use of fresh fibres.

Much more than just a way to transfer products from A to B

Increasingly retailers are demanding more from packaging and an example of this is the requirement for a traditional transit box now to work as retail ready display packaging – the aim being to reduce handling times and packaging waste. Through the use of high quality linerboards, improved printing and conversion techniques the shelf appeal of a corrugated box can be greatly enhanced.

And of course another important feature of corrugated boxes is that they are easy to recycle and can be flat packed after use, making collection and transport much easier and cheaper to do.

Gilligan's Island

Sundays at 2 PM & 2:30 PM

eastern (on most MeTV stations)
After departing from Honolulu on a three-hour tour, the two-man crew and five passengers aboard the S.S. Minnow find themselves swept away in a violent tropical storm. Becoming marooned on an uncharted island, the castaways—the bumbling Gilligan (Bob Denver), the stalwart Skipper (Alan Hale, Jr.), the super-rich Howells (Jim Backus and Natalie Schafer), the movie star Ginger (Tina Louise), the Professor (Russell Johnson) and girl-next-door Mary Ann (Dawn Wells)—make the most of their adventuresome new life while perpetually concocting botched attempts at escape.

What to do if You Have Suffered a Personal Injury in Dayton, Ohio

There are many ways in which you can suffer a personal injury, whether in Dayton, Ohio, or any other part of the world!  Car accidents are one of the most common ways, but it can happen through a slip in the park, an issue at work, or even whilst doing something at home.

Many people accept that accidents happen, even if the result is an expensive or painful long term treatment plan.  The unfortunate fact is that many accidents result in some kind of permanent physical or mental scarring; this can often be described as life changing.

The question is, what do you do if you have suffered a personal injury?  The answer is to seek professional advice, personal injury law is a complex affair; there are many more factors to consider than those which first meet the eye.  You should consider taking the following steps as soon as you are able to following an accident:

  • Find out the name of a local personal injury law firm.  This should, preferably, be done by contacting friends and family to seek their advice and decide which of the local firms have the best reputation and track record.
  • Book a consultation; these are usually free as the lawyer will discuss the options available to you.  Even when the accident appears to be your own fault there is usually a way to gain compensation for your inconvenience and the expense of treatment.
  • Timing – Do not wait to book your consultation and do not be afraid to try several law firms until you find the right fit for your needs.  There are time constraints on filing a claim; the lawyers know what these are and will ensure everything is completed in time; provided you speak to them early enough.  They are also experts at knowing what additional symptoms you may need to look out for and, a good law firm will point you in the right direction to ensure all your wounds are being dealt with – mentally as well as physically.
  • You should also check your insurance companies.  One of them may be the one responsible for compensating you for your injury; they may also be responsible for providing expenses and an income whilst you are unable to work.  The sooner a claim is placed with the right insurance firm the sooner you will start receiving money; in accordance with your policy.
  • Finally, once a law firm is dealing with your claim you should be able to focus all your energy and efforts on recovering from your accident.  It is important to remember that you can and should make a full recovery.  No one should have to put up with pain and injury on a daily basis; if you do you have a life changing injury and your level of compensation should allow for this.
It is essential to seek help as soon as possible, a local firm will be aware of the local personal injury law in Dayton, Ohio and will be able to prepare the best possible case to ensure your injury does not leave you out of pocket!

Toyota Gazoo Racing wins on home soil thanks to a flawless MICHELIN tire strategy

At the start of the 2016 6 Hours of Fuji, Audi Sport differed from its LMP1 class rivals by selecting the MICHELIN SOFT ‘Hot Weather Plus’ tire, whilst Toyota Gazoo Racing and Porsche Team opted for the ‘Hot Weather’ version, designed to suit lower track temperatures. Notwithstanding a strong performance, Audi Sport found itself having to give best to Toyota Gazoo Racing as Kamui Kobayashi, Mike Conway and Stéphane Sarrazin produced a determined effort behind the wheel of the N°6 Toyota TS050-Hybrid and the Japanese manufacturer pulled off a strategic masterstroke at its final pit-stop.

It was as the race entered its sixth hour that Kobayashi peeled into the pits for his last stop. Whilst both Audi Sport and Porsche Team decided to change tires on the N°8 R18 and N°1 919 Hybrid respectively, the Japanese squad put its faith in the consistency and durability of Michelin’s tires. The time saved enabled the N°6 Toyota TS050-Hybrid to rejoin the fray in the lead – a position it would not subsequently relinquish.

Tire strategy therefore played a key role in the outcome of a breathless race in which three different teams, cars and manufacturers pushed flat-out and duelled wheel-to-wheel for six hours straight, rarely separated by more than a handful of seconds.

From pole position, the N°8 Audi R18 (Duval / Jarvis / Di Grassi) held sway at the front of the field for more than five hours, with all three of the Ingolstadt marque’s drivers posting extremely competitive lap times to maintain the car’s advantage.

Behind the leading Audi Sport crew, the N°1 Porsche 919 Hybrid (Bernhard / Hartley / Webber) and N°6 Toyota TS050-Hybrid (Kobayashi / Conway / Sarrazin) disputed the runner-up spot until Toyota Gazoo Racing unleashed its late-race strategic coup to snatch victory from under the nose of Audi Sport, with Porsche Team completing the podium in third.

We took a gamble on a strategy that some might have perceived as risky, but we did so with the full confidence that we have in our tire partner Michelin. Our car was very competitive and we were all tremendously fired-up to deliver a home win for Toyota, so we gave it our absolute all. Even when Loïc [Duval] began closing back in on us towards the end of the race, we knew we had enough pace in the car to withstand his challenge and we were all thrilled to take the chequered flag first.

Kamui Kobayashi, Toyota driver

What a race from our three LMP1 partners! They captivated the Japanese fans throughout the six-hour duration, with so many exciting battles from start to finish. Once again today, our tires ably proved their potential and consistency. Congratulations to Toyota Gazoo Racing, who thoroughly deserve this home triumph. Congratulations must also go to Ford Chip Ganassi Team UK – who claimed a commanding one-two finish in the LMGTE Pro category – and to Dalla Lana / Lamy / Lauda, who made it back-to-back GTE Am class victories after their similar success in the 6 Hours of Circuit of the Americas.

Jérôme Mondain, Michelin’s Endurance Racing Programme Manager.

The eighth and penultimate round of the 2016 FIA WEC campaign will take place in Shanghai on November 6, around a fast circuit and in what are expected to be cool conditions.

There are nearly 1,000 youth active in the scouting program in Tuscola and Huron counties. They include Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturing. According to Herrington some of the money raised will help send scouts to summer camp. He says one of the best adventures a boy can experience as a Boy Scout is a week at summer camp. Some families, however, can't afford the couple hundred dollars it costs, but the scouting organization sees to it that any boy who wants to go to camp does. This Crest Sale will help those boys.

Bill Jackson, Scouting Finance Chairman for the Thumb District, says the theme for this year's fundraising is… “Scouting, reaching out to others“…. and that this year's goal for the two-county area is $28,000.

“We have met or exceeded our goals for the past five years. We have accomplished that largely due to a great scouting program because of dedicated Cub Scout den and pack leaders and Scoutmasters in the Boy Scout program. The scouting program helps build youth confidence, character and citizenship so people are more willing to support it."

The fundraising, frequently referred to as “Friends of Scouting," helps support scouting through services to youth in addition to professional training to hundreds of volunteers who work with them. Last year over 300 scouting families contributed to the program.

The Friends of Scouting Leadership banquet is entering its fifth year. In 2004 it raised over 40 percent of the group's goal. This year's banquet will be on March 5 at the Franklin Inn in Bad Axe. The featured guest speaker will be the Honorable Wallace Kent, Tuscola County Probate Judge. According to Jackson, several hundred people interested in scouting normally attended the banquet. It gives them an opportunity to learn what the scouting program is doing in their communities and to contribute to it.

The Crest Sale will continue through Feb. 15 at the following businesses:

Huron County: Caseville IGA, Caseville BP, The Pasta House, CJ's Party Store, Citgo Gas, Harbor Beach, Kohler BP, McDonald's Food Family Grocery, Fast Freddies, Hungry Howies- Bad Axe, Mr. Chips, Grant's Party Store, BP-Owendale, Pigeon IGA, Tom Thumb Markets

Tuscola County: Mr. Chips, Weber Grocery, Bo's Village Peddler, Suzie Q's, Healthmart Pharmacy, Videomation, Little Caesar's, Cass City, Charmont, Quaker Maid, C&L Market, Tom Thumb Markets.
