There was evidence of communication between Russians and members of the Trump campaign, during the Trump campaign.
It doesn't fit the definition of collusion, and Trump himself was distanced from it.
So? There is evidence almost all politicians have talked with people from foreign countries, even those without good relationships with the US.
What does this prove?
Trump lied. A stupid one at that because it was so inclusive but also so easy to check. And he did it over and over again 'till the truth became general knowledge.
A wiser country should at least hold leaders to a higher standard of dishonesty.
Needless to say, no one was going to get convicted of collusion because it isn't a US Federal offense.
That's not what the dems, their media allies, and many posters on this board said. They told us the allegations in the dossier were real, and trump and his family members would go down for colluding with Russia. When they were proven wrong, they tried to change the definition and goal posts.
Though some of the content of the dossier were false, some is still unverified but some is correct and now verified:
- Without doubt, Russia did have a campaign to interfere with the 2016 election.
- The Kremlin was behind the DNC e-mail hack, confirmed in the Mueller report.
- The Trump campaign agreed to minimize US opposition to Russia's incursions into Ukraine. This at the Republican National Convention in July 2016.
- Trump would lift sanctions against Russia. Days after the inauguration, State Department staffers were ordered to develop proposals for lifting sanctions. In January 2019, Trump's Treasury Department lifted the sanctions on companies formerly controlled by Oleg Deripaska.
- That Russian diplomat Mikhail KULAGIN was a Russian spy. This was later verified by US officials.
- Page's own testimony corroborated some of the dossier's facts.
- Botnets and porn traffic were used to infiltrate the DNC. Confirmed in the Mueller report.
You can't just throw out the whole dossier (as is being suggested by some) because there were some dodgy or unverified bits. You have to deal with each allegation on its own merits. The many individual allegations, regardless of source, is what the investigation was about.
So, evidence was found of communications between the Trump campaign staff and Russians. At that time, Trump was denying strenuously those communications, which he knew were happening.
Much of those there is no proof trump had knowledge.
Oh, except for the ones where we know Trump did know and that definitely occurred. But lets throw away all the national security affecting stuff because one or two bits didn't pan out.
meanwhile dems were colluding by paying a foreign agent to work with kremlin agents to get fake dirt on trump, and lying for over a year about paying for it. Yet no investigation into them for some reason.
Perhaps because it was no secret during the investigation that the dossier was initially paid for by 'The Washington Free Beacon', then the DNC started paying for the same info from Fusion GPS (but the DNC had no idea that Steele was working for Fusion GPS, and Steele didnt know he was getting paid from DNC money). After Trump was elected, the Director of Fusion GPS continued to fund Steele's research and the DNC stopped their funding.
No one got charged with collusion because it isn't a Federal crime (have I said that enough yet for it to gain traction?).
Yes we know you have joined in with the #resistance talking points by changing the goal posts/ meanwhile you all forget to talk about the "collusion" the dnc and dems had with Russians.
I'm honestly not.
The crimes of the DNC are a separate issue and don't absolve other crimes.
But Trump clearly lied and acted guilty, repeatedly and publicly. He didn't collude (because its BS), he wasn't charged with anything. But he did lie to everyone.
Lying bad. the dems did it too. SO did the investigators such as Comey. So did intel heads such as brennan and clapper. So did the media.
Yeah the media were the worst. Or perhaps the Russian who placed all those millions of fake news posts on Facebork. Or perhaps those who, knowing that it was all a bit suspect, continue to repeat the same BS they saw on 'TwitFace' during the campaign.
Trump also wasn't the target of the Mueller investigation, for reasons that Mueller explains in the report. Yet Trump's "witch hunt" protestations seem to indicate that he thought that they were going to get something on him.
Garbage. Even the judge in the Manafort case acknowledged the whole investigation was about trying to get people to flip on trump. This was a witch hunt, and it will be investigated as the OP shows.
Your honour, I present the Mueller report in my defense. Does it look like it was targeting Trump?
There were no FISA warrants against Trump or his family.
There was at least one we know of that granted access to communications within his campaign. I know as a trump hater you don't care if the intel community under Obama was used to spy on his rival; people concerned about fair elections should be very concerned though.
You do know that an extension to the the NSA limitations on data gathering of the entire populace are signed off periodically and were instigated on a Presidential Executive Order. If Trump is so incensed, why doesn't he just close it down? He has the power to do so, or Congress.
There were no loud allegations even from the legal and investigative side (that was all the press). There was no legal disruption to prevent Trump from doing his day to day work as President (despite the "how could he be effective when he was being targeted in a witch hunt" BS).
Absurd. The investigation and the media around it certainly affected Trumps ability to have his agenda passed.
How? Indicate with figures like man hours spent, or the mechanism of bills not getting passed ,or something concrete.
But hey, as someone who doesn't believe there is a presumption of innocence in the US, I am not surprised you would think that Obamas admin spying on trumps campaign, and leaking to the press, and then the press spreading lies to hurt trump for two years is no big deal.
I never said that there is no presumption of innocence in US jurisprudence.
It is nearly universal in every code of laws, bill of rights, constitution or foundational legal framework. Right across the world and going back thousands of years into history. It is clause 11 of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
I was answering those who suggested that I did not understand such a basic principle because I'm not from the US where they have the principle of "innocent until proven guilty".
Remember, "Brawndo has electrolytes, it's what plants crave".
It doesn't fit the definition of collusion
Obviously, he's an international hotel mogul, he never hid this - he did deals with countries all over the world.
No matter how much you want it to be collusion... it isn't - by your own admission!
Since you seem to be having some confusion about it, I do not want it to be collusion. At all. The use of the inappropriate term, 'collusion' is a deflection used by Trump from the consideration of far more serious crimes, which were the ones actually being investigated.
I still don't understand what you are going on about - I get the feeling you are just being difficult for a laugh - sad
Perhaps specific words have specific meanings?
RadioRobert
No. Investigations only aim to determine if there is enough evidence to satisfy the burdens placed on the government by the Constitution.
That's it. For a prosecutorial decision, they have enough evidence to reasonably conclude something took place. Or not.
One person says his neighbor hit him. The neighbor says he didn't. If there is not a preponderance of evidence suggesting the neighbor hit him, the report is closed unfounded or unsubstantiated. It doesn't mean the neighbor is innocent or a crime did not occur. That's not the purpose of the investigation.
The investigation determines whether or not the state has sufficient evidence that an individual committed a crime so it can act non-consenually against a citizen.
The citizen has no burden. If the police knock on his door, he is free to tell them to # off. Unless they have met their threshold of evidence, the police/government is powerless to interfere with the rights of the citizen. The citizen never has to provide evidence to the state to exonerate himself.
They only need a preponderance of evidence (more likely than not) to seek an indictment. The threshold is even lower to detain you temporarily (reasonable suspicion).
The Mueller report cannot conclude a crime occurred after two years of subpeonas, warrants, and interviews. That they also don't clear him of wrong-doing or may still have suspicions is meaningless if they cannot meet their thresholds of evidence. Ask O.J.
Just straight up lies.
Sorta like the trump 2014 court case...right?
Nothing further needed from you.
I can't remember, there were so many...
Oh wait a minute, that was the one where that Jamaican girl Alexia made claims against Trump Modelling but it got thrown out of court partly because Trump misfiled her H1-B visa and she was no longer an eligible under the jurisdiction of the court?
Also, had the case proceeded, it was pretty clear that Trump Modelling made false representation to her about payments and expenses. They only paid her $3,380.75 for three years work. Pretty scummy of them when she was led to expect $75,000 per annum.

And when he tells you that it was the behavior of George Papadopolous in a London bar just like the investigation showed will any of you believe it or will you be waiting for the next investigation to start?
How's that dossier you told us all was true looking?
Important FYI UPDATE: Without the Steele Dossier, the DOJ/FBI would NOT have obtained a FISA warrant to spy on Donald Trump, and there would have been NO appointment of a Special Counsel (Bob Mueller) to investigate President Trump.
So, the question is: Why is the FBI so damned committed to this Steele Dossier?
That answer is simple. In October 2016, they needed the dossier to get the FISA warrant. They needed the 2016 FISA warrant to cover-up for all of the unauthorized and illegal surveillance activity that was already underway throughout 2016.
The FBI, and later the Mueller team, were/are strongly committed to, and defending, the formation of the Steele Dossier and its dubious content. Once they had the dossier in hand the FBI proceeded forward for an ex post facto FISA warrant.
Full content here: theconservativetreehouse.com... sa-submission/
The DOJ/FBI depended on the Steele Dossier for justifying so many actions and requests, it has become as important as a cement arch's "Keystone".
If the Dossier is determined to be substantially false by A.G. Barr's investigators, everything related to "get Trump" is retroactively blown to smithereens. Arrests, pardons, lawsuits, and more, will flow like water.
Nah, I was just pointing out to several posters that the US isn't the only country where the presumption of innocence is basic to jurisprudence.
Some of them in their Constitutions and foundational documents, like our NZ Bill of Rights.
Nah, you were just implying presumption of innocence didn't apply in the US.
I proved you wrong and you changed the goal posts, just like with the Mueller report.
Although you can provide me with legal precedent, you still haven't produced an actual legal statute regarding the principle of assumption of innocence in a court of law.
And in regard to the US accruing to itself English Law, it is still evolving and changing, probably in ways inappropriate the the US.
By tying your law to English Law and assuming that vague generality is good enough, you are also incorporating Islamic Shariah Law, which is merging into English Law - something that I'm sure you would not find acceptable in US courts.

'collusion' is a deflection used by Trump from the consideration of far more serious crimes, which were the ones actually being investigated.
Funny, I could have sworn every democratic affiliated media organisation said collusion about 1200 times per day.
So did Nadler, Pelosi, Schiff, Hillary, Comey, Brennan..
and yet, its just a made up word Trump used to deflect from his real crimes... which were in fact not found in the special counsel.

Un transpondedor (forma corta para transmisor-respondedor y a veces abreviado como XPDR, XPNDR, TPDR, o TP)  es un dispositivo electrónico que produce una respuesta cuando se recibe una llamada de radio-frecuencia. Las aeronaves tienen transpondedores para facilitar su identificación en el control del tráfico aéreo. Gracias a estos dispositivos se han desarrollado sistemas anticolisión como un medio de detección de aeronaves en riesgo de chocar unos con otros.

El control de tráfico aéreo utilizan el término "Squawk" (graznar) cuando se asigna un código de transpondedor a una aeronave, por ejemplo Squawk 7421. El Squawk por lo tanto significa "Código de transpondedor seleccionado", que se traduce como "He seleccionado el código de transpondedor (Squawk) xxxx".

Radar secundario

El radar secundario de vigilancia (SSR) se refiere como "secundario" (Pasivo) para distinguirlo del "radar primario" (Activo).

El radar primario determina distancia y azimut a un blanco con razonablemente alta fidelidad, y en caso de ser un Primario 3D también puede determinar la altura, mediante la generación de una señal de radio que rebota en el objeto y retorna al radar.

El SSR funciona de forma colaborativa junto con el avión. El secundario "interroga"  y los aviones responden, el radar secundario calcula la distancia y azimut sobre la base de la respuesta del avión, pero además recibe información del transpondedor embarcado que es el que se encarga de transmitir una respuesta a un radar secundario. Esta respuesta más a menudo incluye la altitud de la aeronave y un código identificador de cuatro dígitos.

Operación

Un piloto puede ser solicitado a "squawk" o activar un código dado por el controlador de tránsito aéreo a través de la radio, usando una frase como "Cessna 123AB, active (Squawk) 0363". Entonces, el piloto selecciona el código 0363 en su transpondedor y su señal en el radar del controlador de tráfico aéreo se asociará con la imagen que tiene este.

Debido a que el radar primario generalmente proporciona información de apoyo y posición pero carece de información de altitud, los modos C y S en los transpondedores también informan de altitud con precisión.

Códigos de los transpondedores

Los códigos de los transpondedores son números de cuatro dígitos transmitidos por el transpondedor en una aeronave en respuesta a una señal de interrogación del radar secundario para ayudar a los controladores de tráfico aéreo a separar el tráfico. Un código transpondedor discreto (a menudo llamado un código transpondedor) es asignado por los controladores aéreos para identificar unívocamente un avión. Esto permite una fácil identificación de las aeronaves en el radar.

Los códigos Squawk son de cuatro dígitos octales; los diales en un transpondedor se leen de cero a siete, ambos inclusive. Así el Squawk más bajo posible es 0000 y el más alto es 7777. Los cuatro dígitos octales pueden representar hasta 4096 códigos diferentes.

Los pilotos deben tener cuidado de no sintonizar alguno de los código de emergencia durante un cambio de código. Por ejemplo, al cambiar de 1200 a 6501 se podría convertir la segunda rueda a un 5 (por lo tanto 1500), y luego girar la primera rueda hacia atrás en la secuencia 1-0-7-6 a llegar a 6. En un momento dado el transpondedor sintonizaría el código de secuestro, lo que podría conducir a una mayor atención de la que uno desea. Los pilotos son instruidos a no colocar el transpondedor en "modo de espera" mientras cambian los códigos, ya que causa la pérdida de información de destino en la pantalla del control de tráfico aéreo, en su lugar les piden cambiar los códigos cuidadosamente para evitar seleccionar un código de emergencia por error. Los transpondedores digitales modernos son operados por botones para evitar este problema.

Códigos Squawk utilizados a nivel global

 7500: Interferencia ilícita (secuestro de la aeronave).
7600: Comunicación perdida (problemas con la radio)
 7700: Emergencia general

Stage Stop RV Campground is a park located near Drake, Colorado, ten minutes from Estes Park. It features full hookup campsites that are big rig friendly. Many of them are pull through accessible. The park provides free WiFi, allows pets, and has a dump station.
Campsite amenities offered include picnic tables, fire circles, and grills. It also includes basic amenities like restrooms with hot showers and laundry facilities. Visitors can also enjoy activities such as hiking, biking, fly-fishing, rock climbing and wildlife viewing.


Radium is a naturally-occurring element found in miniscule amounts in soil and water posing no health risk. Its risk comes from ingesting the element regularly, such as in industrial settings.
The City of Alameda became the new owner of the Seaplane Lagoon at Alameda Point on April 13, 2016. It came from the Navy with a new condition that exceeds normal protocols for dredging in San Francisco Bay.
As with all cleanup sites, the Navy, city and regulators agreed to what areas needed to be cleaned up in the Seaplane Lagoon. The cleanup plan approved in 2006 was based on testing the sediment throughout the 110-acre lagoon. The problem areas were confined to about 10 acres at the northeast and northwest corners of the lagoon where storm sewers dumped contaminants prior to 1970s environmental laws. The agreed upon plan said that there would be no restrictions on the lagoon when cleanup was done.

Looking east on West Tower Avenue. Buildings 5 and 400 are where radium-226 paint was applied to aircraft dials and markers. Paint waste contaminated thousands of feet of drain lines, most of which have been removed. The remaining radium-contaminated Industrial Waste Line is partially illustrated showing where it runs in front of Building 5, also known as the Naval Air Rework Facility.
All of the drain lines containing radium-226 paint waste at Alameda Point have either been removed, cleaned, or are scheduled to be cleaned or removed, except for one: The Industrial Waste Line in the hangar area where aircraft dials were painted. This drain line was installed in the mid-1970s after passage of the Clean Water Act prohibited sending industrial waste into public waterways. It sent wastewater to a treatment facility, and is now lying dormant, broken in places, and no longer in use. The big question is what to do about it – leave it alone and create a special radiological license, a special exemption, or dig it up?
The Navy, regulatory agencies, and the city discussed this cleanup problem at their regular cleanup team meeting on June 11, 2013, the most recent date for which meeting minutes are available.
Clean area inside Building 5 where Navy aircraft were serviced. Radium painting occurred to the left and outside of this area.
Even though radium dial painting at Building 5 and Building 400 along West Tower Avenue had ended by the time the Industrial Waste Line was installed, drain lines inside and under these two buildings contained radium that may have been released down into the waste line.
The regulatory agencies aren't sure how they will sign off on this waste line if it is left in place with elevated radium-226 levels inside the pipe or possibly in the soil where the pipe has deteriorated and leaked.
The city doesn't want a perpetual worry about monitoring and digging precautions. The East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) would also be concerned about the presence of radium. The Navy's Environmental Coordinator, Derek Robinson, asked the city's engineering contractor, Angelo Obertello, if EBMUD was asked about routing around the existing industrial waste lines. Mr. Obertello said EBMUD is looking to upsize the lines in this corridor because of fire flow pressures. The city's Chief Operating Officer for Alameda Point, Jennifer Ott, said that sewer and storm drain lines are planned for this area and that it is not realistic to expect EBMUD to work around existing rad-impacted lines.
The Navy is hoping to avoid the extra cleanup expense by asking the state to write a special document governing the drain line – essentially a warning label on a half-mile of two streets.
The Navy asked the city if they could work around the lines when installing new infrastructure. But even though the city's new infrastructure plans call for using concrete utility corridors, or trenches, the plans drawn up by the city's consulting engineer, Angelo Obertello, show that there would be future utility conflicts with the half-mile of the Industrial Waste Line on West Tower Avenue and Lexington Street. The Industrial Waste Line, including its connections to Buildings 5 and 400, is about a mile in length.
Right now, the idea of writing a special radiological license or granting a special exemption is an administrative headache because not enough soil samples have been taken from around the waste line to fashion such a document. Rob Terry of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency pointed out that the whole licensing issue would go away if the drain line were removed.
A similar drain line at Hunter's Point Shipyard in San Francisco was removed.

The meeting ended with everyone agreeing to continue working together to solve the problem of what to do about the radium-impacted Industrial Waste Line and adjacent soil.
The minutes of the Industrial Waste Line agenda item at the June 11, 2013 cleanup team meeting are below.
"Mr. Robinson said the Navy appreciated the City's effort in preparing drawings of the industrial waste lines. Peter Russell (City) said the drawings show potential conflicts with infrastructure/utilities (existing and future) and thus are higher priority for addressing.
"Angelo Obertello (CBG), City contractor, explained that updated figures were prepared and overlain on as-built drawings of existing utilities. Areas were identified where existing utilities fall within the industrial waste line areas. The City has also re-evaluated placement of future utility lines in West Tower Avenue, Lexington Street, and Monarch Street, and preliminarily shifted the future lines about 15 feet away from the existing industrial waste lines. Based on the drawings presented, possible conflicts could occur along approximately 3,300 linear feet of line as follows: about 900 linear feet of 4-inch force main; and about 2,400 linear feet of gravity line feeding into the pump station in Lexington Street. This represents about 57 percent of the force main line in conflict with existing industrial waste lines and about 44 percent of the gravity line in conflict with existing industrial waste lines. The conflicts primarily in West Tower Avenue and Lexington Street are for future utilities and represent about 45 percent of the lines.
"Dr. Russell noted that as part of the petroleum program the Navy identified former fuel lines in Monarch Street, close to the industrial waste lines. Sampling of the fuel lines was interrupted and sampling locations were adjusted to avoid the industrial waste lines.
"Mr. Robinson asked if the City expects to put buildings on top of any the industrial waste lines. Mr. Obertello said a 300- to 400-foot area northeast of Building 12 contains industrial waste lines and potentially falls within a future development block. Jennifer Ott (City) said the area may be residential and is identified for intensified development to support the historic district. Dr. Russell noted this land would not be acquired until about 2019.
"Karen Toth (DTSC) said DTSC has discussed this with CDPH licensing staff. Until it is known what is left behind in the soil, CDPH cannot say whether a radiological (rad) license or license exemption is appropriate. Soil data are needed on what remains.
"Marvin Norman (Navy Legal) said the consensus is that the rad-impacted lines beneath the building slabs will remain in place and the question concerns the extent to which the Navy commits to removal of outlying lines. He acknowledged the issues of licensing will need to be dealt with regardless of which option the Navy pursues.
"Mr. Robinson asked if CDPH will work with the Navy in making its determinations. Ms. Toth said CDPH is available for further consultation. This is a new process for CDPH at a CERCLA facility, and the first rad license exemption will be for HPS. Bob Carr (EPA) said there have been discussions with CDPH and no decisions have been made yet. EPA asked for specifics and could not get them.
"Rob Terry (EPA) said he has some experience writing rad licenses and the more contamination, the harder it is to exempt a property and the more complex the license becomes. He envisioned an AP radioactive materials license and individual "storage and use areas" within the license. Ms. Toth said they are looking at the larger buildings and lines coming out of the buildings; there are two (or maybe three) areas still under evaluation.
"Bill McGinnis (Navy) asked what legal criteria/standards/requirements CDPH is using and where the process is now. Ms. Toth said the decision criteria are still up in the air. In talking with the CDPH Radiological Health Branch (RHB), they are looking at data from specific waste lines and more site-specific data are needed in those areas being left in place. CDPH/RHB is not making "impacted" v. "non-impacted" decisions for industrial waste lines. Ryan Miya (DTSC) explained the process for licensing/licensing exemption at HPS. RHB needs to understand what is being left in the ground to determine whether or not an exemption is appropriate. The activities remaining and boundaries in picocuries per gram (pCi/g) should be defined.
"The Navy drafted a "dose-modeling assessment" for HPS so RHB understood what it is issuing a license or exemption for. The Navy and DTSC worked together to prepare the assessment, which became a key component of the application. The assessment determined how much rad is left and how deep it is located. The City of San Francisco will file an application with a cover letter, the dose-modeling assessment, and supporting CERCLA documentation in about one month to CDPH/RHB. At HPS, a small landfill/debris area is what remains.
"If AP is proposing a buffer area for a utility corridor, then more information is needed for that buffer determination. Dr. Russell said it seems easier for CDPH to issue an exemption for buildings with concrete slabs in place, and wondered if an issue is being created by addressing lines under buildings together with lines in the streets. Mr. Miya said yes, lines under the buildings are much less likely to offer potential exposure, while the lines in the streets offer a more likely exposure pathway.
"Mr. Terry agreed with Mr. Miya's description of the process, and said CDPH is looking at two issues: the rad dose remaining in place, and the quantity of rad materials present. The possibility of a rad license for AP is a very real one, and under CERCLA the cleanup should be as complete as possible. If everything is removed, the need for licensing goes away.
"Mr. Robinson said that the Navy modeled the industrial waste line exposure scenario very conservatively. The Navy is concerned about the uncertainty of a license versus an exemption. Mr. Miya said that knowing the potential exposure of what is left behind is important; at HPS what is left is very low in concentration and is covered by three feet of soil.
"Mr. Robinson asked if DTSC's main concern is the uncertainty of a license exemption. Ms. Toth said DTSC's main concern is that if an emergency arises – e.g., a sinkhole occurs in the affected streets by a water or sewer line break – this could require hiring a rad contractor to address a sinkhole or line break, either by the City or by East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD).
"Mr. Norman asked if it would be considered a problem if the lines were grouted and sealed. Ms. Toth said the clay (gravity) pipelines are known to have integrity problems. The implementability of the remedy becomes a problem.
"Bob Carr (EPA) said what Ms. Toth described is a very real possibility, and the reality is that a break in the pipeline requires time-critical access to the area to repair. Mr. Norman asked for clarification about whether a sinkhole would be caused by the natural geology or the possibility of breaking lines.
"Mr. McGinnis said the CERCLA Institutional Controls (ICs) and Land Use Control-Remedial Design would state that repair work is subject to a soil management plan including rad control requirements. Ms. Toth said the City and EBMUD do not have the ability to comply with this in a timely manner. Mr. Robinson said the Navy appreciates Ms. Toth's concerns.
"David Elias (Water Board) said that in early discussions with John West (Water Board), the project as envisioned indicated that the rad material was well defined, the risk was conservatively assessed, the lines left in the street would not be in contact with anyone, and the lines would be under concrete. However, with redevelopment the current scenario changed and the situation is different, creating small "waste management units." With future changes it may become hard to address these issues. There is no real precedent for this approach. He said the agencies may become less comfortable with the new scenario. Mr. Robinson said it is difficult for the Navy to do things just for future development; however, the City needs to take into account the environmental disposition of the property. He suggested evaluating some options for relocating lines.
"A lot of good information was presented today and the Navy will look more closely at the drawings presented.
"Dr. Russell said even without the City's redevelopment, when the Navy built AP the design standards were different and construction had shorter life cycles. Regardless of future development, the current infrastructure must be repaired and maintained for several years. Mr. Robinson said the Navy appreciates this, and justifying cleanup expenditures is tied to risk. The waste lines have been evaluated in a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study; the risk was determined to be low and within the risk management range. It is difficult for the Navy to consider complete removal of the lines when risk has been shown to be low.
"John Chesnutt (EPA) asked if there is a risk driver and what would make the agency members comfortable with the certainty of the risk. At HPS, after removing 20-plus miles of pipelines, breaks were found and sampling showed rad levels in catch basins were similar to intact pipeline areas. He asked if people would feel more comfortable if site-specific sampling was conducted at the breaks and data were collected that would enhance confidence in the risk level. Mr. Elias raised the issue of tarry refinery waste at AP, where it was left in place and the risk is low, but decision-makers have to manage the waste and the risk and communicate this to the public. This may be a messy issue long term.
"Mr. Norman said CERCLA is driven primarily by long-term human-health risk and the City may not be required to comply with long-term maintenance or handling in the event of a calamity. Dr. Russell said this is not true; the City will have to conduct routine maintenance, and emergency maintenance if needed, and will require funding for long-term rad maintenance. State and community acceptance of risk are also considered.
"Ms. Ott said EBMUD may not be comfortable working near the rad-impacted industrial waste lines. Mr. Chesnutt asked if new soil samples collected showed higher risk, would rad workers have to be hired and, if this happens, are people at risk. Mr. Robinson said no. Mr. Terry said the data from along the trench line show the risk is trivial. Mr. Carr said the highest levels detected now are about 30 pCi/g, and what is not known is what criteria other agencies (e.g, California Occupational Safety and Health) have for restricting access to this area. Mr. Terry said he did not know but it would likely depend upon the volume at 30 pCi/g.
"There was a question about whether the sediment is still present in the manholes. Mary Parker (Navy) said sediment was not removed from the industrial waste line manholes except for the small volume of sediment required for the laboratory analysis. Mr. Robinson said sediment in the manholes could be removed fairly easily and would help reduce the volume of soil.
"Mr. McGinnis said when risk was evaluated, the highest risk scenario was to an industrial worker at 225 days per year, 8 hours a day, for 25 years, through direct contact with soil. For the emergency worker the exposure and risk would be significantly less. Mr. Robinson said the Navy will evaluate the information provided today more thoroughly. He asked Mr. Obertello if EBMUD was asked about routing around the existing industrial waste lines. Mr. Obertello said EBMUD is looking to upsize the lines in this corridor because of fire flow pressures. Ms. Ott said sewer and storm drain lines are planned for this area. It is not realistic to expect EBMUD to work around existing rad-impacted lines.
"Mr. Norman said the Navy is taking the actions it needs to take and cannot take response actions to enhance development. He understands the City will have to maintain the existing lines and this could be more costly or more risky. Further, replacement of existing lines could cost more if the Navy abandons the lines with residual rad in place.
"Mr. Chesnutt said he is not sure it is a protectiveness issue. Ms. Ott asked if the risk is negligible, would a rad contractor be needed. Mr. Robinson said from a risk perspective, no rad contractor is needed. Ms. Ott asked if RASO concurred. Matt Slack (RASO) said he believed a rad contractor would be needed, but he agreed with the existing data and that the risk due to the sediment within the pipe is minimal.
"Mr. Terry said when something is left behind, there will always be a question whenever a hole needs to be dug in the street. Time and resources will be needed to respond to questions.
"Mr. Elias said the Navy usually looks at source control through removal, and that ICs are for residual contamination. Now, ICs are being looked at for source material and felt this is an unusual way of managing a contaminant source. Mr. Chesnutt said he was not sure this was a source area or just material left behind. Mr. Elias suggested the rad might be a de minimis source.
"Mr. Robinson asked if there are ARARs that address waste left in place with low risk. Ms. Toth said with ICs in place the area cannot be used as residential, and ICs are required if something is left in place. Mr. McGinnis said residential risk was evaluated and there is no exposure pathway for residential users.
The middle of Building 5, in the mezzanine area, is where radium-226 luminescent paint was applied to aircraft dials and other devices from 1941 to the mid 1950s. The Navy plans to begin removing the radium contamination from the mezzanine area in December of 2012 or January of 2013.
The harmful health effects of radium were not understood in the mid-20th century. In fact, just the opposite was the case. Hundreds of products were marketed that touted the health benefits of radium, including skin creams, bath salts, and even "growth-inducing" plant fertilizers.
It's no wonder that paint waste was dumped down storm drains in those days. That's what happened in Building 5. It ended up in storm drains leading to the Seaplane Lagoon and the lagoon itself. By 2010 the Navy had either removed or cleaned the drains leading to the lagoon. By spring of 2012, the dredging of the Seaplane Lagoon was completed.
There remain only three areas of concern for radium contamination at Building 5 – the mezzanine painting area, some storm sewer lines under the ground floor slab, and the old industrial waste line under West Tower Ave. The Navy's recently-proposed plan for leaving radium contaminated drain lines in place has been criticized by the city and the Restoration Advisory Board for being inadequate.
Plans for removing radium paint stains from floors, walls, and ceiling areas have received little public attention, however.
Radiological scanning equipment being used in another building at Alameda Point.
The photos that accompany the Navy's scanning survey say more about the obsolete condition of the mezzanine area than they do about radium. Most of the contaminated areas are small patches, which are marked by spray paint and photo outlines. Class 1 surveys covered 100 percent of floors and walls up to six feet. Class 2 surveys covered 50% of areas above six feet. Floors and walls were scanned with a cart-mounted device designed to eliminate human variations in scanning distances. Hard to reach areas were scanned with handheld devices.
Areas that were scanned included the paint shops, instrument shops, pathways from the instrument shops to the first floor staging areas, as well as buffer areas around those rooms and the ventilation system.
Radium 226 poses a health risk when ingested. The radiation is relatively low, but since the distance to cells within the body is effectively zero, the impact is high. And it's effects are relentless, since it is not easily expelled from the body.
The mezzanine area is in the area also known as the Breezeway, which runs east to west between the two hangar areas of Building 5. Hopefully this lead paint contaminated architectural oddity will be torn down so that we can more readily attract businesses here and to the surrounding areas. It has an easily identifiable wooden wall on the western side, marking it as one of Alameda Point's most prominent eyesores.
In the mid 1950s, the radium paint operation was moved across West Tower Avenue to Building 400. This building will undergo radioactive paint remediation at the same time as Building 5.

The past year had some high points and low points in the cleanup process at Alameda Point. Added delays, including a pile-driving surprise, were balanced out by steady progress.
The year saw, among other things, completion of a second Point-wide radiological survey of buildings and structures that identified two building interiors needing radium remediation, a new soil scan for radium on a section of the western runway area, replacement of a storm drain segment next to the Seaplane Lagoon, and preparation of the environmental document for the Berkeley Lab site, which will be useful whether we get the Lab or not.
The contractor preparing to cover the old dump with rocks and soil at the northwest tip of Alameda Point delivered some embarrassing news to the Navy. In the normal course of their duties, work-plan design testing revealed that the shape of part of the contamination did not match the official description. You would think they could just process a work-order change. But the Superfund law requires an additional two-year review process, which will push the completion of this open space opportunity to 2015.
At another cleanup project, the Navy drove over four dozen 30-foot steel electrodes into the ground to heat up the toxins and capture the vapor. But before turning on the electricity, the contractor discovered they had hit a sewer line. The project has since been idle for months awaiting a decision on how to proceed.
The big Seaplane Lagoon dredging project that began in January is certainly one of the most dramatic displays of cleanup. Both the northeast and northwest corners of the lagoon were supposed to have been dredged by April and final soil disposal completed by year's end. But the contractor failed to meet the deadline and was let go. A new contractor has been testing and removing existing soil, as well as doing extensive set-up over the past two months for the dredging of the northwest corner that will begin in January.
Another dredging project has just begun under the dock area next to the maritime ships. They're removing mud contaminated from two storm drain lines. That project is on schedule. It's worth visiting the area to get a glimpse of the elaborate engineering needed to capture and clean water runoff from the mud.
Less dramatic and seldom seen work is always ongoing. Groundwater is monitored at cleanup sites to ensure cleanup goals are being met. One example is the monitoring of the removal of benzene and naphthalene under Shinsei Gardens and vicinity.
Evidence of the Petroleum Program is also seldom seen, other than some white PVC pipes in the ground. But besides the big fuel extraction projects, there is ongoing testing of pipelines and oil/water separators in order to develop a remedial plan.
Finally, and perhaps most important, getting the first, very large, no-cost land conveyance from the Navy next year appears to be on schedule. To help make it happen, the Navy and regulators are planning on modifying cleanup goals by enacting restrictions against future ground-floor residential development near the east entrance to Alameda Point.
Originally published in the Alameda Journal.
Building 5. W. Tower Ave. is on right.
Up until passage of the Clean Water Act in 1972, it was common practice to dispose of chemicals by dumping them down sewer and storm drain lines that drained into the nearest surface water. Many people did this in their homes.
At Alameda's former Naval Air Station the worst legacy of this practice was in the drain lines leading out of the massive Building 5 and nearby Building 400. Building 5 is where the radioactive paint with radium-226 was used to paint aircraft dials and markers.
Radium-contaminated storm drain removal - 2010. Drains deposited in hazardous waste trailers.
of thousands of feet of the most seriously contaminated lines leading to the Seaplane Lagoon. But questions remained for Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) members about drain lines leading north to the Oakland Estuary and also the Industrial Waste Line that was installed after passage of the Clean Water Act.
The RAB heard a presentation at the September meeting about the Navy's recent examination of all the remaining drain lines using cameras and sampling equipment. The drain lines lead out of Building 5 and are part of the cleanup area known as Operating Unit-2C. Three of the storm drains and the industrial waste line were found to have areas of elevated radium, although nothing close to the levels found in the lagoon drains that were removed last year. Six alternatives for dealing with the problem, from no action to complete removal ($58 million), were presented. Two hundred ninety-seven samples were collected.
Industrial Waste Line Should Not Be Left in Place – The majority of the RAB favored the option that prescribed hydro-jet cleaning, limited excavation and disposal of storm drain lines, and complete removal of the Industrial Waste Line. Concern was raised about two alternatives that allowed the Industrial Waste Line to remain in place under West Tower Ave, the main thoroughfare between the hangars, and have so-called institutional controls. Institutional controls can have a way of being forgotten as the decades roll on, which could lead to workers being being exposed to radium during infrastructure upgrades. The forgotten lines could also lead to unexpected expenses for the city and to the posting of alarming radiation warning signs long after everyone thought the problem had been dealt with. Update – October 13 – Another reason to remove the old Industrial Waste Line: The August 8, 2011 Navy feasibility report cited in this post stated, "The industrial waste line is not considered a candidate for hydro-jetting due to the deteriorated condition of the line." Better to remove it than have toxic residue leaking out into the water table.
RAB co-chair Dale Smith said it was premature to vote on alternatives. The regulatory agencies still have to review the report.
Nuclear Fallout Residue Also Surveyed – The Navy's contractor also gathered data on the presence of Cesium-137 and Strontium-90. The presence of these two radioactive isotopes in drain lines was expected due to worldwide data showing that nuclear weapons testing and nuclear accidents such as Chernobyl have caused widespread dispersal. There are also records indicating that some observation planes that flew through nuclear fallout during nuclear weapons testing were dismantled and decontaminated at Alameda Point as part of the weapons testing studies.
The main reason for concentrations in drain lines at Alameda Point is because of all the concrete pavement that sends high volumes of water runoff into drains. The levels of Cesium and Strontium concentrations in the investigative samples were within the range that could be expected from worldwide fallout of nuclear weapons testing.
Updated October 12, 2011, in response to inquiry from reader – Below is a map and nine pages of test results for Storm Drain Line G, which partly runs along Pan Am Way. Also indicated is the Main Trunk of this storm drain, which runs from Building 5 on the left of the map to the Seaplane Lagoon on the lower part. The three horizontal storm drain lines shown below the Main Trunk are called laterals. Only the Main Trunk portion is singled out for remediation work.
The likely alternative that will be chosen will not be complete removal. Instead, it will (hopefully) be limited removal and replacement in the few areas that show elevated readings for radium. One alternative is to not do anything, but rather leave the lines in place with "Institutional Controls," which means a big hassle if anyone ever wants to do infrastructure work.
The remediation goal for radium 226 is nothing greater than 1.56 pico curies per liter. It's based on a background level of 0.56 that would be randomly found in Alameda. This background standard was established by agreement between the Navy and US EPA in prior years. The remediation goal set by the Navy is nothing in excess of 1.0 above background, or 1.56. The Navy's "1-above-background" standard is more stringent than the norm for US EPA.
In looking at the readings in the boxes and on the test result tables, there are only a few locations where radium was found to be a problem. "MH" in the box means it is manhole that was tested. "CB" is a catch basin. One reason for the low readings could be because in 2009/10 when the most seriously contaminated lines – F and FF – were being replaced due to radium contamination, the Navy had Storm Drain Line G power flushed to clean it out. The contaminated water was properly disposed of.
Another possible reason for the low radium readings is that the point from which it leaves Building 5 (where the radium paint was once used) could have been the least used for disposing of radium paint waste. This would correspond with the actual results of testing before and after the recent dredging operation on the northeast corner of the Seaplane Lagoon where line G ends. Other than a few solid objects containing radium, none of the dredged material from the northeast corner required disposal at a nuclear waste facility. The upcoming dredging of the northwest corner, however, will likely yield elevated radium in dredged sediment.

We had previously written a custom CRM System for one of our long-standing customers, and they asked us to produce some dashboards, to give them analytical information from the CRM and other internal business software.
We spent time understanding their exact requirements, and how currently the lack of clear, detailed information was slowing down numerous internal processes.
We made mockups of the dashboards, and how the data would be displayed, so they could easily visualise the end result.
Once they were happy, the dashboards were developed and integrated into the existing systems to read the required data.
The dashboards were made live across the internal network, and permissions were set on them, so only selected internal employees had access to the data.

A petition drive launched Tuesday seeks a citywide vote on a Houston police policy against asking the immigration status of people officers encounter.
Deriding what they call the city's "sanctuary policy," about a dozen members of a group called "Protect Our Citizens" conducted a news conference at City Hall to announce the petition drive for a city charter referendum.
"It is time to send a message to the world that Houston is no longer a safe haven for illegal, criminal aliens," said spokesman Paul O'Finan, a lawyer.
The group also includes Mary Williams, founder of Taxpayers for Accountability, who has been involved in successful citizen-led initiatives including term limits for city politicians and a 2004 measure capping city revenue.
Officers ask people their immigration status only after they have been arrested for some other reason. Police say the understaffed department doesn't have the resources or training to do more.
Officials also say changing the policy could erode the trust officers need to solve crimes in immigrant communities.
Police Chief Harold Hurtt and Mayor Bill White support the current policy.
But Councilwoman Shelley Sekula-Gibbs provided the first signature on the group's petition, saying, "We do not want a police force that has its hands tied."
The petition unveiled Tuesday calls for a city charter provision stating that the city "shall not obstruct" law enforcement officers from verifying immigration status or making arrests for immigration violations.
The petition also states that the city should allow officers to access federal databases and work with immigration agents.
The backers say they plan to get 20,000 signatures from registered voters by Sept. 1 to get the measure on the fall ballot.
"This has gone on long enough," Sekula-Gibbs said. "It is time for Houston to stand up and assist the federal government in enforcing immigration laws."
Sekula-Gibbs, who recently has tried to raise her profile on the border-security issue as she seeks to replace former U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Sugar Land, told the Houston Chronicle in November that she didn't have a "strong opinion" on a similar measure posed by then-Councilman Mark Ellis. He tried to force a council vote on the issue when he was seeking a Republican state Senate nomination in a conservative district.
"It's a political stunt," she said then of Ellis' measure, which would have similarly changed the police policy but also required people to show proof of U.S. citizenship to get "taxpayer-provided social services."
Sekula-Gibbs said it would be impossible to verify someone's immigration status before, for example, putting out a fire. She said she also disapproved of Ellis' tactic of trying to force a council vote on a nonbinding resolution.
A charter referendum, by contrast, would be binding on city policy.
"The city's sanctuary policy was wrong then, and it's wrong now," Sekula-Gibbs said Tuesday. "What he was trying to do was just political posturing."
After Tuesday's event, Councilwoman Carol Alvarado dismissed the petition as "pre-election politics," saying the city doesn't offer "sanctuary" to illegal immigrants.
She noted that the police department investigates the status of people arrested on serious misdemeanors and felonies, and then reports immigration violators to federal authorities.
Alvarado also said residing in the country illegally is typically treated as a civil offense, and she questioned the wisdom of getting city officers involved.
"I don't think it makes sense to take our police officers off the streets from chasing real criminals, who are committing real crimes, and send them on some witch hunt," she said.

Florida couple has helped over 50,000 creatures
Feb 2, 2020 at 12:01 AM Feb 3, 2020 at 6:50 AM
Gail and Ed Straight were named '2019 Islanders of the Year' by Anna Maria Island's weekly newspaper for their wildlife rehab.
Gail and Ed Straight will leave Wildlife Inc. Education and Rehabilitation for an hour Sunday for their grandson's birthday, but after that they've got to get home. There are dozens of Manatee County critters who need their help.
As Gail talked about the rescue of four otter pups Friday, a phone at the nonprofit Bradenton Beach animal rescue rang perpetually. She and her husband rotated answering calls, listening to voicemails and dispatching rescuers. They have been Manatee County's most steady wildlife rehab for 33 years and are beloved residents of Anna Maria Island.
Just this year, AMI's weekly newspaper, The Islander, named the couple 2019's Islanders of the Year.
Nobody deserved it more.
Gail and Ed Straight love wildlife so much they haven't taken a vacation together in about 30 years, but in that time, they've helped close to 50,000 stranded animals.

12 of Florida's most dangerous wild animals
Asked why they do a job that never gives them a break, Gail jokes about how tired she is and ponders whether anyone else would fill their shoes.
"There are days that I sit down and think, do I want to keep doing this, and then I think what else am I going to do if I don't do this?" Gail Straight said. "Who's going to take care of these animals and do it right. We have a lot of volunteers who come in here the first week, 'This is what I want to do!' By the end of four weeks, 'This is not what I want to do.' They see we haven't been on vacation together in 30 years because someone always has to be here."
Part of the job is death. She guesses she's seen about 15,000 dying, dead or euthanized animals.
"Even though you try not to really attach yourself, your heart to an animal, it happens," Gail said.
During springtime, cold snaps and tropical weather, wildlife rescues are flooded. A hurricane can lead to the stranding of hundreds of squirrels overnight.
The Straights are pros at activating the call tree and finding help. Their friends, volunteers and trained rescuers are quick to respond to the couple who have only left the island three times during hurricanes. Their children begged them to leave during Hurricane Irma.
Ed Straight is a former Bradenton Beach city commissioner, emergency management chief, reserve deputy and paramedic. He's gone from helping people to becoming an animal rescuer.
"It's really demanding for us to keep up with the whole county," he said, adding that his best friend is a squirrel that begs for peanuts. "And it's probably one of the more enjoyable things you do. It has its ups and downs, but most of the time it's quite rewarding."
Ed Straight is a St. Petersburg native and met Gail, a New Yorker who liked to collect bugs and frogs, in Florida. They complement each other well. Her passion for wildlife, his management ability and a shared love for creatures.
Ed says rescuing people is easier because they can tell you what's wrong with them.
"It's an interesting perspective because you were working with people and saving them and that's life and death," he said. "You're doing the same thing with animals but you have to figure out what's wrong yourself."
Gail said her love for helping animals started with collecting frogs and lightning bugs.
"Up north you'd collect lightning bugs and you'd watch them and then you'd let them go again," Gail said. "I thought it was really cool. I mean, you are looking and trying to figure out how they fly and how that little light works."
Wildlife Inc. rescues everything but sea life. They ask that people refrain from trying to rehabilitate animals themselves because it makes their job harder. It's also illegal.
Gail and Ed are certified with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to work with wildlife and prepare the animals for release. Animals, especially babies, need proper nourishment.
Recently, a person called them about four river otter pups scattered around their yard. Their eyes were barely open and a mother otter hadn't been seen for a while.
"It was during that really cold spell," says Gail, noting it was 30 degrees outside. "We don't like taking babies away from the mother but they already looked dehydrated. They were cold. They weren't together and they started having snotty noses which was not a good sign."
The tiny critters were started on antibiotics for pneumonia. The otters appear to be recovering but probably won't be released until September.
A picture of the four otter amigos was posted on Wildlife Inc's Facebook page with a note that they aren't available for public viewing. None of the animals on the campus are.
The Straights limit human contact to prepare the animals to go back into the wild.
And otters aren't very nice.
"They can be slightly aggressive and they aren't loyal," says Gail, noting they only want food. "Don't ever go near them and try to pet them or anything. We don't allow anybody to touch these except for our volunteers who are feeding them."
When they are bigger the otters will be taught to find their own food.
In 2019, Wildlife Inc. had 2,600 animal cases. It costs more than $100,000 yearly to operate the nonprofit group, which is assisted by volunteer veterinarians and other professionals.
In the early days, Ed Straight says he funded the rescue with his county paycheck, but these days, donations keep the operation afloat. The Straights and their volunteers are available to offer educational programs for schools, civic groups and conservation groups and have displays at art shows and other events throughout Sarasota and Manatee County.
Booking information can be found at Wildlifeinc.org.
Gail says the rehab facility is aging and they have talked about moving Wildlife Inc. to a bigger property off the island, but the expense involved in starting over is daunting — not to mention the labor. After all, they aren't as young as they used to be.
Gail and Ed Straight are going to keep doing what they do best, saving animals on Bradenton Beach. She says if you see a wild animal that needs help, "Call us."

The dream was sexual. There was a death. A Nigerian looking man. The last thing before waking, trying to fold a stained towel.
One evening our mother joined in the games instead of making supper. Father grabbed her and held her tight around her waist and she struggled to free herself. My brothers and I yanked on Father's arms and legs, screeching and laughing, as the fireflies lifted out of the grass around our ankles.
Mother stopped struggling and Father loosened his grip and we all turned to see Wren and her parents on their nightly walk. Mother gathered us all around her, hushing us. We were panting and sweaty and unable to keep still.
Father picked up the forgotten football and smacked it against his palm. Mr. Chu nodded and Father nodded back. Wren's mother glanced at our mother. Some maternal understanding, like heat lightning, flashed in the space between them. I couldn't see Wren's eyes, but it seemed she was looking at me. I wanted to cross the street and touch her white cheek. I wanted to tell her my name.

Metz vs Paris SG live streaming free
Forecast for the match Mets – PSG
April 18, 2017 at 19:30, as part of the rescheduled 31 round of the French League 1, the Metz will play against PSG in the field of the stadium "Stade Municipality of Saint-Simporogne."
Metz vs Paris SG preview
Exactly six matches left to play the football club Metz in the debut season for him in the First League of France, and literally speaking, the issue of maintaining the propiska is still open. In general, to evaluate the game Mets can be as not very expressive and this is primarily because of a very weak game in the defense. In addition, after playing a draw in the last 2-2 round with Kahn, the Mets recorded his third unbeaten match in a row.
Metz vs Paris SG prediction
As I said in my last predictions for the matches with PSG, the Parisians continue the fierce struggle for the first line, but here PSG concedes Monaco immediately by several parameters. Firstly, PSG, remaining in second place, lags behind the "Monegasque" by 3 points. Secondly, although PSG remains the most reliable league team, the extraordinary performance of Monaco, leaves PSG far behind in terms of performance. Nevertheless, PSG now in a very good move, and therefore they will come to fight solely for the victory.
PSG – the absolute favorite of the upcoming fight, moreover this season the teams managed to win back twice and both meetings remained for PSG. Matz's affairs are not the best now, the team can not keep their goal dry for 210 minutes. PSG in front of exactly the last three matches remained without a missed goal, despite the fact that he managed to score – 10 goals. The rate: F2 -1.5.

Pare the cucumber and cut into two inch lengths. Blanch in boiling water for five minutes and put in a basin of cold water.
Remove at once from the water, drain, and with a small sharp knife or spoon carefully remove the seeds and part of the pulp of the cucumber. Stuff with sausage meat etc., then put pieces of cucumber in a saucepan on a layer of bacon rashers and just cover with stock. Cover the saucepan and simmer very gently for about fifty minutes until the cucumber is quite tender.
To serve, place the hot cucumber on a hot dish, strain the sauce into a clean pan and reduce rapidly and thicken with a little flour and butter. When ready add small lumps of butter and pour over the cucumber pieces.
Blanch the peppers in boiling salted water for three or four minutes, drain, cut off the tops and remove the seeds. Stuff the peppers with the following, a brown finely chopped onion in a little butter, add one or two tablespoon of chopped ham, one clove of chopped garlic and a handful of bread which has previously soaked in milk or stock and press to remove excess. Season with salt and pepper and cook until lightly brown.
When stuffed, sprinkle the stuffed part of the pepper with breadcrumbs, place a pat of butter on each and brown in a quick oven, serve hot with melted butter.
Slice the onion and cook it until it is soft, but without browning in hot oil or butter. Add the tomatoes either sliced or quartered together with the herbs and seasoning. Stir well with a wooden spoon, crushing the tomatoes in order top extract the juice. Simmer very gently for an hour or until the tomatoes are reduced to pulp. Rub through a sieve, then re-warm ready for use.

Who choreographed Broadway Melody of 1940?

What did Fred Astaire say about Eleanor Powell?

Did Flatley marry?
How many taps a second can Michael Flatley do?
Is there a Broadway Melody 5?
Is Broadway Melody based on a true story?
Busby Berkeley
Had this Broadway MELODY edition been choreographed by Busby Berkeley, who had recently recruited to MGM from Warner Brothers, the "Begin the Beguine" number would have found Astaire and Powell sharing the grand finale spotlight with close to 100 dancers.
Audiences never suspected that Eleanor Powell did not perform her own singing vocals because Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer linked her with ghost singer Marjorie Lane from the outset of her career. Lane had only one other film credit to her name, appearing on camera in a 1930 short subject.
Who was the best female tap dancer?
Eleanor Powell During the Golden Age of Hollywood, Eleanor Powell's dazzling footwork earned her roles in Born to Dance, Broadway Melody of 1938, and Rosalie. She was even named the World's Greatest Tap Dancer by the Dance Masters of America in 1965.
Fred Astaire, who performed with Powell memorably in several films, pinpointed the issue in a couple of interviews, as well as in his autobiography, Steps in Time. "Eleanor Powell, one of our greatest talents, is a bit too powerful for me," he said. "I love Eleanor Powell, but she dances like a man.
April 28, 2016. Share this article: IRISH dancer James Devine is a World Record Holder for the "fastest feet in the world", with an astonishing 38 taps per second.
Who was the better dancer Astaire or Kelly?
I think the answer is clear – Fred Astaire. Singin' in the Rain might be more famous on a purely pound-for-pound basis, but that doesn't make it the better film, nor does it make Kelly the better dancer. The two are a study in contrasts. Gene Kelly's style of dancing was highly athletic and physical.
In June 2006, Flatley began dating dancer Niamh O'Brien, who danced in several of his shows. They were married in a Roman Catholic ceremony in Fermoy, County Cork, on October 14, 2006, with a reception at Castlehyde. He and his wife have a son, Michael St. James, born in 2007.
35 taps per second
In May 1989, Flatley set a Guinness Book world record for tapping speed at 28 taps per second. He subsequently broke his own record in 1998 with 35 taps per second.
What is the musical Broadway Melody of 1940 about?
Broadway Melody of 1940 (1940) Johnny Brett and King Shaw are an unsuccessful dance team in New York. A producer discovers Brett as the new partner for Clare Bennett, but Brett, who thinks he is one of the people they lent money to gives him the name of his partner.
A fifth Broadway Melody film was planned for release in the early 1940s, pairing Eleanor Powell with Gene Kelly, but production was cancelled at the rehearsal stage. Another production was to have been called Broadway Melody of 1944 but was instead renamed Broadway Rhythm.
Broadway Melody of 1940 was based on a story by Jack McGowan and Dore Schary. Schary would go on to be head of production (1948) and then president (1951) of MGM until 1956.

Continued pressure on oil prices and, by default, rig companies sent shares of Rowan plummeting in January, but a suspension of the dividend actually gave shares a bump.
What: Shares of Rowan Companies (NYSE:RDC) declined by 25% in January mostly because of weakness across the oil and gas sector. The company did announce it was suspending its dividend on Jan. 29, but that actually helped give shares a little boost to end the month.
So what: For Rowan and its rig company peers, the hits just seem to keep on coming. Continued low oil prices have sapped most producers of cash flow, and most of them don't have any incentive to go out and explore or drill for new reservoirs right now. So as Rowan's rigs roll off contract, they are finding themselves without work. This hits it a little harder than most rig companies because the majority of its fleet are jackup rigs, which typically work on shorter contracts than floating rigs.
According to Rowan's most recent rig status report, six of its jackup rigs are expected to roll off contract by the end of 2016, and based on statements from oil executives recently, there isn't a whole lot of confidence that a producer will be itching to sign these rigs up for more work.
Normally, when a company suspends or cuts its dividend, investors go running for the hills. In his case, though, we saw shares jump following the news that Rowan was eliminating its dividend. Much of that has to do with the fact that the market had pretty much priced in a dividend cut or suspension anyway. After all, pretty much all of Rowan's peers had already done the same.
Now what: One thing that Rowan has going for it is that the few floating rigs that it owns have contracts that go well into 2017. So it will be able to ride out most of the year with a decent revenue base. Also, by suspending its dividend, it will be able to save about $50 million annually to fill any funding gaps. Beyond that, though, things could get hairy if oil and gas producers still aren't ready to open up their wallets and spend on new offshore drilling operations.

Schouten, Nosse: Let's protect bicyclists at intersections
Reps. Sheri Schouten and Rob Nosse
State legislators say biking is eco-friendly option and Oregon should do more to be bicycle-friendly
As state representatives for Beaverton and Portland, we believe we must continue to make Oregon a bike friendly state and encourage biking as a viable eco-friendly option. Supporting individuals that use alternative means of transportation to help reduce carbon emissions is incredibly important and we need to ensure they have adequate legal protections on the road.
Rep. Schouten's husband, Dick, is an avid cyclist. It's great exercise, he commutes on two wheels regularly, and generally loves riding. Unfortunately, he has been in a couple bicycle accidents over the years, including a particularly bad one in 2015 where an uninsured driver forced him off the shoulder of Murray Boulevard in Beaverton.
Thankfully, he got away from that incident with just broken arm and a bent bike. But the hospital bill and damage to his bike were costly. Dick was travelling in a marked bike lane when he was struck, and the driver was clearly at fault. Because he had the legal right of way, he received a swift settlement and could defray the cost of the accident.
But some cyclists are not so lucky.
Last year, a 31-year-old Bend man was struck and killed in an intersection by a FedEx truck making a right turn. The Deschutes County district attorney cited the driver for failure to yield to a rider in a bicycle lane, but a judge recently threw out the charge on the (dubious) legal theory that bike lanes don't continue into intersections. Essentially, the judge's ruling only protects riders when they're between painted lines.
This is madness. To avoid visual confusion, we don't paint every lane line in our intersections. And nobody claims automobile travel lanes don't exist within an intersection. So the failure to acknowledge that bike lanes continue through intersections is both strange and troubling.
Now, to correct the confusion, we are co-sponsoring legislation (House Bill 2682) that will explicitly extend this legal protection to cyclists crossing intersections. This bill would make simple clarification that when the markings of a bicycle lane are interrupted by an intersection, the bicycle lane continues in and through the intersection. This legal clarity will help bicyclists who been struck in an intersection pursue a claim for their injuries.
As it stands now, the statute is unclear about how to handle accidents between a bike and a vehicle in an intersection. Our bill would remove legal ambiguity for those situations and encourage more cautious behavior by motorists. Nothing more. Nothing less.
While this bill will not make biking safer or prevent accidents, it will allow for legal recourse when something happens. And that's change we should support.
Sheri Schouten is state representative for Oregon House District 27, including parts of Beaverton, Raleigh Hills and Bull Mountain. Rob Nosse is state representative for Oregon House District 42, including parts of Southeast and Northeast Portland.
