Organizations expect salespeople to get results, but successful long-term performance requires a focus on more than just results. Research indicates that high performance is not sustainable over time unless it is accompanied by a high degree of fulfillment—neither performance nor fulfillment exists in a vacuum. To implement strategy and achieve business results, sales managers must create an environment of performance with fulfillment. These skills require integrating the inspiration of leadership with the skill of management.
The Sales Leader Manager: Leading Salespeople to Success (SLM) provides a framework and skills for sales managers to enable their sales teams to succeed—to achieve higher revenue, customer satisfaction, and long-term profitability. To provide the leadership their people need, sales managers learn how to align their efforts and motivate their sales teams by using Five Practices.
SLM is a comprehensive solution that fosters both insight and skill development around what is most important for leaders to do—enable their people to perform at their best.
Sales Leader Manager (SLM) provides sales managers with a process for helping their salespeople realize their full sales potential by creating an environment that supports successful business results. SLM helps sales managers understand their own role in executing sales strategy so they can help salespeople align to the organization's strategy.
The Sales Leader Manager (SLM) incorporates this Learning Transfer approach to drive increased performance.
Participant Readiness: Pre-workshop communication prepares sales managers for the learning experience and their managers for supporting the learning experience. The Sales Leader Manager Inventory (optional) enhances the impact by giving participants feedback from those they lead.
Learning Design: The SLM workshop is a two-day application-oriented session. It is an instructor-led session that can be delivered in modular format over two non-consecutive days to allow application between sessions.
Organizational Alignment: Post-learning communications to sales managers and their managers support both skill application and implementation.
Sales Leader Manager is enhanced by application activities, post-learning reinforcement, pre- and post-classroom e-mails, and support tools. These tools help ensure that sales leaders can develop skills during the workshop, then fine-tune and apply their newly acquired skills and behaviors back on the job. Involving participants' managers is also important for successful SLM implementation, and manager support tools are provided for that purpose.
The learning experience is enhanced by the use of the Sales Leader Manager Inventory, a multi-rater instrument designed to provide managers with feedback about how their sales leadership behavior is perceived by the people who report to them and their manager.
Wilson Learning can partner with your organization to measure the initial post-session behavioral changes and business results. Our common interest is to make sure that Sales Leader Manager delivers the results you seek, and we have a variety of tools to help you evaluate progress and results.
This offering, like all others from Wilson Learning, can be customized to reflect your sales environment and business priorities.

[Release] 10-Time New York Times Bestselling Author Dr. Daniel Amen's Memory Rescue TV Special Debuts As #1 Public Television Show in the US
LOS ANGELES—Memory Rescue, the latest TV program from 10-time New York Times best-selling author, Dr. Daniel Amen, debuted at #1 on public television, making it the network's top show in the U.S. The program originally aired on Dec. 3, where Dr. Amen—who has been named "the most popular psychiatrist in America" by the Washington Post—discussed how anyone can improve their memory and even rescue it, even if they feel it's already headed for trouble.
The special was based off of Dr. Amen's most recent book, Memory Rescue: Supercharge Your Brain, Reverse Memory Loss, and Remember What Matters Most, released by Tyndale Publishing in November. The renowned neuroscientist reveals how a multi-pronged strategy—including dietary changes, physical and mental exercises, as well as spiritual practices—can improve one's brain health, enhance memory, and reduce the likelihood of Alzheimer's and other memory loss–related conditions.
"Psychiatrists are the only medical profession that virtually never look at the organ of the body they diagnose and treat, namely the brain," says Dr. Amen. "As both a psychiatrist and a neuroscientist, I've had the opportunity to scan over 135,000 brains. It represents a treasure trove of real world research and it informs so much of what we discuss in this book. From dementia to more general feelings of fogginess and forgetfulness, wherever you find yourself on the spectrum of brain health, I have good news for you, it is highly probable that we can help turn your memory loss around. Everyone wants a sharp mind, and that's why, I believe, the public television show has resonated with so many people across the country"
Dr. Amen has developed the mnemonic device of "Bright Minds" to help audiences remember the 11 major risk factors outlined in the book, which contribute to "stealing your mind." Amen contends that all of these risk factors are either preventable or altogether treatable.
Dr. Amen recently finished his book tour and will continue speaking at conferences and workshops around the country throughout 2018. The special one-hour show, Memory Rescue, is scheduled to continue running on public television networks through the end of the year.
Dr. Amen is the founder of Amen Clinics, a double board-certified psychiatrist, neuroscientist, professor, and one of the world's foremost experts on using brain-imaging technology to help optimize and treat his patients. His research was listed as one of the Top 100 Stories in Science for 2015 by Discover magazine. He is a 10-time New York Times best-selling author and has hosted twelve highly popular shows about the brain for public television. His work has been featured in The New York Times Magazine, the Washington Post, Men's Health, The Dr. Oz Show, Dr. Phil and many others.

I know it can be boring as hell but I do quite enjoy the chit chat/horsing around while we wait for it to populate.
As I mentioned to MiK (Man in Kilt) yesterday the reason I continue to play this game is because of those of you I play with. Some of you for years now, others more recently but I do enjoy playing with you all.
So yeah, thank you, and know it's greatly appreciated.
Payload Server / Re: Why Even Have a Vote?
Thanks to Dave the voting system is now fixed.
The first map vote I was part of after it was fixed did indeed have a new map as an option. Yay!
It's not about what 6-7 people want it's about what the server voted for.
Because there where no better options? People can only vote for what shows up. If the new maps are not showing up in vote......how are we to play them?
It's not like GR wins the vote, so we switch it to BW. We only switch to maps that the voting system is having issues with.
It's been like this for awhile.
We get a lot of Goldrush, Badwater, Frontier, Swiftwater, etc but not much of the most recent additions. I can probably count using both hands how many times I've seen one in vote since being added.
I meant to message you about this earlier today but procrastinated.
Also I don't understand why the stock Barnblitz would even be on the map vote anymore, Pro version is so much more balanced.
The original BB is still on the server and does come up in map votes.
The reason we change them is the newest maps added are not coming up in the rotation hardly at all. It needs to be fixed.
A lot of the regulars are just tired of the same maps over and over. I use Badwater and as much as it pains me, Goldrush when I am trying to get the server going. They are good server starters. After that, I personally would be happy not to play them at all again that day! More GR than BW. I still enjoy BW from time to time but not 2-5 times a day, day after day.
I really hate that changing the maps like that can send people packing, but I know most of the regulars appreciate it. We either hear them over voice asking for a newer map or see it in chat before changing it. It rarely takes more than 10 minutes to fill the slots again.
Sorry. I know it can be annoying but we are trying to keep everyone happy, regs and new folks, but you know that's impossible.
I'll chat with Plasma and see if we can get this sorted.
Hiya folks. Welcome one and all.
Frankly I think everyone needs to take a step back, stop insulting each other, and let the powers that be decide one way or another.
It is just my opinion of course.
Payload Server / Re: Ever gonna see some new maps?
Sounds good to me but we'll have to see what Plasma thinks.
I still don't get why CP is such a failure. When it was a second PL server it was at least full some of the time. I'd love to play it more, but I got sick and tired of populating it, just to leave, and have it dead within the hour. So I put all my attention into PL. When I really do love CP.
I see no reason to remove it personally. Especially if we are getting new maps to choose from. If it wins a vote, it wins, otherwise "the community has spoken" via voting.
I was wondering if we could have more than 3 maps + extend map in each vote. I think 4 would be perfect with new additions. Hell, outside of a few of us seeding the server, I have never seen extend map win a vote. I recall twice it ever being used and winning.


The Chi-Square Test for Normality allows us to check whether or not a model or theory follows an approximately normal distribution.
The Chi-Square Test for Normality is not as powerful as other more specific tests (like Lilliefors). Still, it is useful and quick way of for checking normality especially when you have a discrete set of data points.
How to Use the Chi-Square Test for Normality.
to find the chi-square statistic. Compare this to the critical chi-square value from a chi-square table, given your degrees of freedom and desired alpha level. If your chi-square statistic is larger than the table value, you may conclude your data is not normal.
The variable you are studying is categorical.
If your variable is continuous, you will need to bin the data before using the chi-square test for normality.
All of these tests have different strength and weaknesses, but the Shapiro Wilk test may have the best power for any given significance.

UV Export: Texturing & UV maps in Adobe Dimension with Julia Masalska
A 3D product mockup for easy, a fictional sunscreen brand.
By Srujani Kamineni
Adobe Dimension digitally transforms the traditional photography studio, helping you bring concepts to life in prototype form, combining 3D models and 2D images with dynamic lighting and photorealistic rendering. With its ability to reduce the time it takes to iterate and make better design decisions, Dimension empowers you to digitally showcase consumer-packaged goods and product mockups like no other tool.
Adobe Dimension
Discover new dimensions in design.
Dimension's latest release, version 3.4, focuses on more creative control for product designs. New to Dimension, the UV Export feature gives you the ability to place graphics on a specific part of a 3D model. Multidisciplinary designer and educator Julia Masalska is a big fan of the feature, and in this article we'll follow along with her as she uses UV export along with Photoshop and Illustrator for a brand exploration project. Masalska named the brand she created "easy" and designed their sunscreen product shots, which naturally makes you want to grab the product on a hot, sunny afternoon!
Staged and rendered using Dimension.
Using materials for fast photorealism
Dimension has a wide range of features for controlling the appearance of your models, and Masalska used many of these in her project. She started with selecting her materials. She had to decide what her objects were made of, like shiny plastic or textured stones, which is a crucial step in setting up the right look on her products, not unlike the real world.
Pull Quote
"I'm making sure materials work with the environment where the product would naturally live. A more elegant product may live on a surface that's marble or more high- end materials."
Julia Masalska
https://hlx.blob.core.windows.net/external/ae9fa00dc93cc91709943db4ca56a67b66a32bbe#image.mp4
Applying Substance materials.
Dimension supports Substance by Adobe materials, which are handcrafted in Substance Designer and published in a parametric format, making it easy for artists to customize. Substance materials let artists like Masalska easily control the look of their material while the app does the hard work of creating textures and configuring the material channels.
Precise textures with the UV Export feature
Placing graphics in Dimension is a light and simple workflow. Just drag and drop a graphic onto the 3D model and it will be placed as a graphic layer. This is a quick workflow that lets the user control the graphic position, rotation, and scale directly on the surface. You can switch to fill mode for wrapping and repeating patterns, and decal mode for placing stickers and isolated elements.
"… But I don't think I'll go back from UV Export! It makes it so much better to align my design so perfectly and create a layout."
There may be cases where you need more precise placement of your decals, and that is where UV Export comes in. UVs are a representation of a 3D model flattened into 2D space with coordinates that precisely map back to the corresponding points on the 3D surface. Like in print, where a die line can be folded into a 3D object, UVs are the complete opposite; a UV model is a 3D object, flattened to 2D! UVs provide you with the template to create textures for models in your chosen image editing application.
"I found my workflow really adapted easily to UV Export. Because I noticed how much value it actually brings to the workflow. You can use guides, you can play around with the layout, knowing where the frame is, where the borders are."
Masalska is using the UV Export feature to apply her graphics so she can get the exact look on the 3D model later.
Masalska exported a UV for the tube model in order to better design for the edge of the cap on the tube. She gets a PSD file with helper layers to identify the parts on the flattened version of her object. Using the UV guide layers that are automatically generated by Dimension, she identified which area she wanted to paint her texture on and used linked graphics to edit seamlessly with Photoshop. This also helped her design for multiple different SKUs, all in one texture file.
https://hlx.blob.core.windows.net/external/a959379ca25bf90137d873255cbef368531aeaa7#image.mp4
Work seamlessly across apps: center using Photoshop.
"… It's very helpful to see the model overlay, to see the complexion of the model, the folds and curves that are part of the design and need to be considered in the process. That helps me not design in 2D and bring it to 3D, but to right away start designing in 3D."
Masalska took advantage of the connected Adobe ecosystem via Creative Cloud Libraries. She worked seamlessly while designing across applications — creating logos in Illustrator and accessing them directly in Photoshop to place on the UV Export file. As she updates her designs in Photoshop, the changes are picked up in Dimension, and she is able to see the final results instantly!
"… I create the typefaces, iconography, and colors in Illustrator. Then I created a Library to sum all these up and used the Creative Cloud Library in Photoshop to place it onto the UV Export File."
Extend Dimension with Substance Apps
As we've seen by following along with Masalska, Dimension is a powerful tool that enables quick visualization and rendering, the digitization of graphic design, and prototyping. This power is extended by the Substance suite of tools. Substance Painter and Substance Alchemist empower designers to create using professional texturing workflows, fully supported for import to Dimension, bringing more capability into your hands.
Use Substance Source and Adobe Stock to access more material and model content, made and optimized for Adobe Dimension.

The Harvard Journal of Sports and Entertainment Law (JSEL) provides the academic community, the sports and entertainment industries, and the legal profession with scholarly analysis and research related to the legal aspects of the sports and entertainment world. The legal issues raised in these fields frequently draw from areas as diverse as antitrust law, civil procedure, constitutional law, contract law, corporate law, copyright law, labor law, and real estate law. JSEL serves as a forum in which scholars from these and other disciplines can discuss the law as it relates specifically to the sports and entertainment industries and the unique issues raised therein. JSEL strives to be the premier source for academic analysis of these issues, such that scholars, industry professionals, news media, and the general public turn to JSEL when complicated legal issues arise in the sports and entertainment community.
JSEL is currently published as an online journal, twice per year. Issues will contain approximately four articles by professors, practitioners, or students on current topics relating to sports and entertainment law. Each issue will also contain several case comments or notes discussing current legal issues in these fields.
As alumni of Harvard Law School have played, and continue to play, major roles in shaping the sports and entertainment industries, JSEL's faculty/alumni advisory committee will provide guidance to ensure that the journal addresses the most critical issues in sports and entertainment law while maintaining the highest standard in legal scholarship.


Downstairs in our headquarters is Mr. duPont's model car collection. It's worth more than my house. Model cars can be found spread around the office, but instead of die-cast machines, LEGO seems to have taken over. Following on the success of their P1 and the 720S, the McLaren Senna by LEGO Speed Champions is a fast and affordable supercar.
McLaren outlined the details of their collaboration on their press site. The driver is a Minifig homage to the world's best driver, Ayrton Senna. Ayrton and his ride are finished in Victory Grey with orange highlights. You will have two sets of wheels, one for track and the other for street use. A total of 219 pieces includes a wind tunnel, removable windshield, and a massive rear spoiler.
For only $14.99, your new Senna is 50,000 times cheaper than the car it is based on. The base price of a 2019 McLaren senna is just under $1,000,000, without any options. The real car can withstand 1,763.7 lbs of downforce, but please don't subject this car to such abuse.

50 years after the US's first gay politician, lesbians and trans people smashed barriers
Josh Jackman November 8, 2017
(Twitter/Danica Roem and andreajenkinsforward8.org and Facebook/Tyler Titus)
50 years ago, Dan Johnston took his place in the Iowa House of Representatives, becoming the first gay person to hold such a high office.
But as he took his seat on that freezing Monday in Des Moines, two-and-a-half years before the Stonewall Riots, the 28-year-old Democrat was very much in the closet.
He remained there until after he and fellow gay representative Norman Jesse – who joined Johnston in the legislature two years later – retired and revealed they were in a relationship.
Dan Johnston (YouTube/kcci)
Half a century and two dozen elections later, openly transgender and lesbian politicians across the US have smashed through barriers.
Danica Roem became the first out trans person to be elected to a state legislature – by beating a virulent anti-LGBT politician.
Danica Roem (Facebook/danica roem)
The Virginian journalist and heavy metal vocalist won against Bob Marshall, a 26-year incumbent who proposed a bill that would've restricted which bathrooms trans people could use.
Marshall, who lost by 46% to 54% yesterday, also co-authored the state's now-defunct constitutional ban on same-sex marriage and refused to debate Roem or refer to her as a woman during the campaign.
Andrea Jenkins became the first trans woman of colour elected in the nation after winning a 73% landslide in Minneapolis's Eighth Ward to give her a place on the City Council.
(YouTube/Victory Fund)
In Seattle, Jenny Durkan won 61% of the vote to become the first out lesbian mayor in the city's history.
The former federal prosecutor joined Jackie Biskupski, who holds office in Utah's Salt Lake City, as the only out lesbian mayors of major US cities.
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan (Twitter/jennydurkan)
California, the state where Harvey Milk made history in 1978 by becoming the state's first openly gay elected official, broke another barrier last night.
Nearly 40 years after Milk took office, Lisa Middleton became the first openly transgender person elected to political office in the state.
After Palm Springs voted her onto its City Council, Middleton said: "Another glass ceiling has been broken.
Lisa Middleton (KMIR)
"For young people who are transgender all over the United States, they are going to have examples for what they can do," she told local outlet KMIR.
"It says Palm Springs is going to judge you by the content of your character and by the work you're able to accomplish," Middleton added.
Pennsylvania also broke its trans barrier, as Tyler Titus became the first openly trans person to be elected in the state.
Tyler Titus (Facebook/tyler titus)
The 33-year-old professional counsellor, who is a father of two boys, was elected to the Erie School Board.
Aisha C. Moodie-Mills, president of the Victory Fund, which is dedicated to increasing the number of openly LGBT public officials, paid tribute to Titus and all the other trans winners.
She said: "Tyler Titus shattered a lavender ceiling in Pennsylvania today – and his victory will resonate well-beyond state boundaries.
"Trans people remain severely underrepresented in our politics and government, and now more than ever we need trans voices like Tyler's in the halls of power.
"This is a historic night for trans candidates across the country – and Tyler is part of a vanguard of leaders who are determined to be part of the conversation on issues that affect their lives."

NPR Stint Leads Radio Enthusiast to Sound's New Cohort
Posted September 21, 2018 by akm344
Q: You grew up in Ohio and attended Kent State University. What did you study in undergrad?
A: I was a communications major with a double minor in non-profit studies and digital media production.
Q: What piqued your interest in sound and podcasting?
A: I grew up as a backseat listener of NPR, and then when I started driving, I continued to tune into my NPR station (WKSU). That station was my first introduction to sound.
Q: What shows did you listen to?
A: I'd listen to news headlines "All Things Considered," "Prairie Home Companion" and "Wait Wait … Don't Tell Me!"
Q: What was your first exposure to working in radio?
A: I started out as a DJ at my college radio station. I had a show from midnight to 2 a.m. Then I was the outreach coordinator, program director and eventually the general manager. There's so much creative freedom with college radio.
Q: After college you moved to Chicago to intern with "Wait Wait … Don't Tell Me!" That must have been a dream considering it was a show you listened to growing up.
A: It was the peak of my career so far! It was a pretty cool opportunity to intern with "Wait Wait."
Q: What was that experience like?
A: It was super exciting and then super terrifying. It's a very small team, so you share an office with Peter Sagal. I really wanted to do a good job and make the most of it. I put a lot of pressure on myself. Looking back, I wish I had relaxed a bit more and not stressed so much. When you're there, you realize, 'Oh, these aren't celebrities; they're people.'
Q: In addition to the internship and doing your own podcast work with friends, you also teach a podcast workshop. Can you talk about that?
A: It's called Blok by Blok, and we worked in Chicago public schools with fourth through sixth graders. We helped them think about the basics of storytelling, what makes a good interview, open-ended vs. closed-ended questions, etc. When you're young, you don't know any of the rules, so it was challenging but super fun.
Q: What spurred your decision to go back to school?
A: After the internship, I did some soul searching. I knew I wanted to go back to school even after undergrad. After the internship ended and I had more experience, I knew I wanted to go back to school and get better at this.
Q: What attracted you to the Northwestern University program?
A: Northwestern's program is great because you can focus on what you want to do and broaden your horizons at the same time. I know where I want to be, but I don't know exactly how I'm going to get there. This program will help me figure that out.
Q: Is there anything you're particularly excited about or looking forward to?
A: I'm especially excited about Sara Geis being an instructor and getting better at Pro Tools. The facilities are amazing, and there are so many talented teachers that have a good handle on all of the tools.
Q: You probably listen to tons of podcasts, but do you have any recommendations? Anything you've been listening to lately that you would recommend?
A: I recently binged "The Great God of Depression." I also like "Everything is Alive" and "Welcome to L.A.," and "Heavyweight" is a really good one. And "Love + Radio."

Norman Miller Daily News Staff @Norman_MillerMW
NATICK – A Wellesley man will be summoned to court and face several charges after police say he crashed his car into a tree on Tuesday night.
The man was not arrested because he was taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston after the 10 p.m. crash on Marion Street, police spokeswoman Lt. Cara Rossi said.
Rossi did not identify the man because he has not been arrested and charges have not been filed. However, she said the man, who is in his 20s, will be summoned to Natick District Court and charged with operating a vehicle under the influence of liquor and driving to endanger. He will also be cited for a marked-lanes violation.
The man was driving on Marion Street when, for unknown reasons, he lost control of his car and crashed head-on into a tree in front of 43 Marion St. The man suffered serious head injuries and was taken to Beth Israel to be treated.
Rossi said police discovered evidence in the car that the man had been drinking prior to the crash. Police also obtained information from doctors that indicated the man was drinking, Rossi said.
It is not known when the man will be arraigned in Natick District Court.

Biryani is a revered dish that has claimed hearts (and tummies), not just in India but other countries as well. Considering the diversity in India, each region and every community has its own take on Biryani.
Coming down to South India, Chettinad cuisine is the specialty of the Nattukotai Chettiars (or Nagarathars) of Tamil Nadu. Inspired by the neighbouring regions, Chettinad food is full of gastronomical delights, tickling your tastebuds with every bite. There are a plethora of dishes ranging from seafood to non-vegetarian to vegetarian. The Chettiar community too, has its own version of biryani, resplendent with the flavour of aromatic spices. Check out home chef Rumya's recipe for Chettinad Biryani!
1. Par-cook the soaked rice with salt. Drain and set aside.
2. Wash and clean mutton pieces. Set aside.
3. Heat ghee in a large vessel. Add the cloves-cinnamon-cardamom spice mix and fry for a few minutes. Add the sliced onions and fry till soft.
4. Add the sliced tomatoes and mutton pieces. Saute till tomatoes are soft.
5. Add the ginger-garlic paste. Mix in the turmeric powder, red chilli powder and coriander powder. Stir for a few minutes. Add the curd and slit green chillies. Cook well till the meat is tender.
6. Once the meat is cooked, add the rice, chopped coriander and mint leaves and the fried onions. Stir very gently and cook for 10 mins on dum.
7. Serve hot with Onion Pachadi (or Kachumber Raita).


There are very few organisations selling a product or service that don't spend money on advertising, and larger businesses usually have an advertising budget, some more generous than others. No matter how large or small the amount available, every company wants to get the best exposure for their dollars, and so there are often competing opinions in the marketing team about what type of advertising should be used. These days, there are any number of options, e.g. print media, internet-based advertising, traditional outlets like radio and television, telemarketing, community sponsorships etc., and the challenge is to get the best result for the least outlay.
One of the cheapest and most visible methods of advertising is one that has been popular in various forms for many years - the printed company banner. Interestingly enough, one business that makes this product is also a major manufacturer of food packaging, quite the contrast from items we pick up every day at the supermarket to brilliant, eye-catching banners advertising everything from the local school fete to major festivals.
Printed company banners are a low-cost, versatile and durable form of outdoor advertising. Large banners can be hung across a main street to advertise a community event, draped across the front of a building to alert customers to a sale or grand opening of a new business, or stretched the length of a float in a festival parade. Banners can be used to advertise a garage sale, a new housing estate, a child's party, a special event at the local playground, a special offer at the local hardware store. Organisations use banners to publicise trade shows, careers expos, farmer's markets and many other events.
The most popular and durable material used for banners is vinyl, available in varying weights and double or single-sided. With the large format inkjet printers now available, the vinyl can be printed in sizes up to billboard size on a single piece of fabric or vinyl. Most reasonable quality vinyl banners have a useful life of three to five years. The digitally printed banners are printed with special inks and if prolonged exposure to the weather is likely, they can be UV-resistant. By storing them in large, specially made plastic bags in Brisbane banner owners will prolong the life of their banners, keeping them clean and free of vermin until ready for their next use.
Printed company banners are one of the easiest ways to advertise a product or event. When combined with other advertising techniques like radio and TV coverage, newspaper reports and an email marketing campaign, any product or event will get targetted coverage and ensure a successful result.

Martín Sarmiento est un savant bénédictin espagnol, né Villafranca del Bierzo le , mort le  à Madrid.

Biographie
Martín Sarmiento nait à Ségovie le . Jeune encore, il entre chez les bénédictins de Madrid, passe ensuite à l'Université d'Alcalà d'Hénarès, où il est reçu docteur en droit ; de retour dans la capitale, il y occupe successivement les chaires de philosophie, de morale, de théologie ; il se distingue en même temps dans la prédication. Il a déjà publié plusieurs écrits sur ces diverses sciences et sur les belles-lettres, lorsque le Théâtre critique et universel du P. Benito Jerónimo Feijoo, confrère de Sarmiento, parait à Madrid en 1732. Cet ouvrage, où sont combattus les préjugés qui règnent en Espagne, a, dès ses premières livraisons, excité contre l'auteur plusieurs ennemis, dont les plus nombreux sont dans les autres ordres monastiques. Les réclamations sont telles que l'autorité charge le P. Sarmiento d'examiner le Théâtre critique et d'en dire son avis. Il se prononçe en faveur de l'ouvrage ; et alors tous les ennemis de Feijoo se déchaînent contre son défenseur. Il leur répond par son Apologie du Théâtre critique, imprimée la même année 1732 ; et l'on doit à Sarmiento la conservation et la continuation d'un livre qui est un monument dans la littérature espagnole. Martín Sarmiento meurt à Madrid le .

Œuvres
On trouve la liste de ses ouvrages dans les journaux espagnols du temps, et plus particulièrement dans le Courier de l'Europe. Ses œuvres posthumes furent publiées à Madrid en 1775, 4 vol. in-8°. On y distingue ses Mémoires pour l'histoire de la poésie et des poètes espagnols. Ce fut à cette époque que parut l'ouvrage de Tomás Antonio Sánchez sur le même sujet. Les deux auteurs avaient travaillé à l'insu l'un de l'autre, et ayant pour guide la lettre du marquis de Santillane sur la poésie espagnole, adressée au prince dom Pedro de Portugal.

The Archdeacon of Warwick (now called Archdeacon Missioner) is the senior ecclesiastical officer in charge of the archdeaconry of Warwick in the Diocese of Coventry. The Archdeaconry of Warwick has five Deaneries which centre on Warwick and Leamington Spa, Alcester, Stratford upon Avon, Shipston and Southam.

History
The archdeaconry was originally created, on 10 January 1910, from the Archdeaconry of Worcester, and in the Diocese of Worcester (consisting of the rural deaneries of Alcester, of Blockley, of Evesham, of Feckenham, of North Kineton, of South Kineton, of Pershore, and of Warwick). Since 2009 the post has been redefined and renamed as Archdeacon Missioner. From the retirement of Michael Paget-Wilkes in 2009, the Archdeacon of Coventry also had statutory oversight over the Archdeaconry of Warwick, delegated from the Archdeacon Missioner, in preparation for the merging of the two archdeaconries, until that post was replaced by that of Archdeacon Pastor. Rodham and Green remained, legally, collated to the Archdeaconries of Warwick and of Coventry.

19101921 (res.): James Peile, Rector of Great Comberton (until 1917), then Rector of Alvechurch (became Archdeacon of Worcester)
In 1918, the archdeaconries of Warwick and of Coventry were erected into the new Coventry diocese.

Billy Crystal's Emotional 2014 Emmy Awards Tribute to Robin Williams
Photo credit:Wonderwall.com
It is not easy to say good-bye to a treasured friend--to convey the depth of your feelings or capture the true essence of the person in words spoken to others. But that's just what Billy Crystal did at the Emmy Awards in a touching tribute to Robin Williams, whose death continues to be felt by millions around the world.
As Crystal so aptly put it: "As genius as he was onstage, he was the greatest friend you could ever imagine. Supportive, protective, loving. It's hard to talk about him in the past, because he was so present in all of our lives. For almost 40 years, he was the brightest star in the comedy galaxy."

An exclusive track from Kirkoid's summer concert tour. If you listen closely - you can hear the crowd headbanging at the chorus!
For me, when I think of beaches and blankets, I think of the summer festivals at the lakefront of a nearby city has every year. There are lots and lots of great concerts there, so that's where the concert theme came from!
Kirkiod has many very good sample packs, but the track I really liked was "The Bipolar Bear" which was a Sitar piece from way back. You should give it a listen!

Phuket | Trial date set for Phuket taxi driver accused of abducting Chinese teen
Trial date set for Phuket taxi driver accused of abducting Chinese teen
PHUKET: The trial of the illegal taxi driver charged with abducting and sexually assaulting a Chinese teen tourist on May 17 will start on September 2.
"The case was transferred to the court on July 4," said Phuket Public Prosecutor Theerasak Srichulalak.
Paitoon Kruain, 32, faced five charges: deprivation of liberty; sexual assault; using a Category 1 narcotic; consuming alcohol while driving; and operating a regular vehicle as a taxi (story here).
He has paid the 2,000-baht fine for illegally operating a taxi, said Mr Theerasak.
"Mr Paitoon denies the other charges and will make a statement when his trial starts," he said.
The charges against Mr Paitoon came to light when a 19-year-old Chinese tourist filed a complaint to police alleging that after he picked her up at the airport, Mr Paitoon kept her captive in his car for five hours and repeatedly touched her, hugged her and asked to kiss her.
Her ordeal ended only when the car ran out of gas and she was able to escape and call for help from passersby.
Although Mr Paitoon was initially taken into custody and sent to Phuket Prison, he was released on bail on May 31, a prison officer told the Phuket Gazette.
"I do not know how much the suspect's bail was. The court would have decided the amount," the prison officer said.

2015 PROSPECTUS | GAME NOTES | LIBERTY GAME NOTES
SMITHFIELD, R.I. – The Bryant University baseball team continues its season opening 16-game road trip this weekend with a three-game series against Big South favorite Liberty in Lynchburg, Va. All three games will be broadcast live on the Liberty Flames Sports Network.
** UPDATE: Due to weather conditions this weekend in Lynchburg, Va., Bryant and Liberty will now play just three games. Friday's game has been moved up to a 1:00 p.m. start, Saturday's doubleheader has been trimmed to just one game with a first pitch at 1 and Sunday's series finale remains at 1:00 p.m. **
Weekend Lineup:
Friday, 1 p.m. (Stats, Audio)
Saturday, 1 p.m. (Stats, Video)
Sunday, 1 p.m. (Stats, Video, Audio)
Bryant and Liberty will be meeting for the second time in program history this weekend. The Bulldogs earned a 6-2 victory over the Flames on March 13, 2012. Then freshman Jordan Mountford went 2-for-3 with his first career home run to propel the Black and Gold to the mid-week victory. Jon Scott also hit his first career home run that afternoon for the Bulldogs.
SCOUTING THE FLAMES
Ranked as high as No. 23 in the preseason polls, Liberty is off to a 3-3 start to the season. The Flames are coming off a 41-win season and their second-straight appearance in the NCAA tournament. It marked the first time in the program's 41-year history that they had made consecutive postseason appearances. They won the Big South regular season title and received an at-large bid to the Charlottesville, Va., Regional hosted by the University of Virginia.
Offensively, the Flames are led by preseason All-American Alex Close. The senior was drafted in the 27th round by the Kansas City Royals last June but decided to return for his final year. He is hitting just .200 to start the year but hit .323 with nine home runs and 46 RBI last spring. SS Dalton Britt is hitting .348, while two-way standout Ashton Perritt leads the team with eight RBI.
Sophomore Parker Bean is off to a rough start this season but was a Freshman All-American last spring. Perritt saved 12 games a year ago and is a preseason All-American utility selection.
BRYANT'S SEASON OPENING STRUGGLES CONTINUE
The Bulldogs' struggles in season openers continued last weekend at UTSA. Bryant is now 1-6 in openers since the 2009 season. Bryant's only win came during the 2012 season when they defeated St. Joseph's 4-1. The victory over St. Joe's is also the only opening weekend victory for Bryant since the 2009 campaign.
EARLY SEASON BLUES
Bryant's struggles early on in the season have lasted longer the first weekend in recent years. The Bulldogs are a combined 4-14-1 over the first two weekends in the last three years. Add in last weekend and that record goes to 4-17-1.
BRYANT AGAINST THE BIG SOUTH
Bryant is 4-4 against current members of the Big South. Bryant is 3-4 against Radford and has won its only meeting with Liberty. The Bulldogs lost 2-of-3 to Radford in 2014 and 2012 after winning the first meeting in 2009. Bryant defeated the Flames in 2012.

"First, Do No Harm" is one of the principal precepts of bioethics that all healthcare students are taught and is a fundamental principle throughout the world. Does it extend to taking action toward "Harm Reduction?" How do we navigate when politics and morality conflict with life-saving harm reduction policies and ethical action?
Jenni and Michael will explore several controversial harm reduction initiatives throughout Western North Carolina including Needle Exchange Programs – where sterile syringes, life-saving overdose-reversing naloxone (Narcan) and other harm reduction supplies are available; HIV & viral hepatitis (hepatitis B and C) prevention programs – including free HIV and hepatitis C testing and info on the HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis pill; and other harm reduction programs and strategies.
As a matter of both public health and civil rights, we must practice compassion over judgment. What can we do to end the stigma? Join us to learn about Harm Reduction, hear inspiring stories and explore individual and social bias.
Dr. Jennifer Mullendore is the Medical Director at Buncombe County Health & Human Services and has been with the Buncombe County Department of Health for over 10 years. She was formerly a resident family physician at Moses Cone. Jenni received her medical degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine and her MSPH in Maternal and Child Health from UNC-Chapel Hill, Gillings School of Global Public Health.
Informal discussion and refreshments will follow the presentation. All are welcome.

A genome-wide phylogeny and the diversification of genus Liriomyza (Diptera: Agromyzidae) inferred from anchored phylogenomics. Systematic Entomology Laboratory World Wide Web Site. Article e13653113. https://doi.org/10.1111/syen.12569.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1111/syen.12569
Interpretive Summary: Invasive leafmining flies can feed on hundreds of crop species and varieties, typically causing millions of dollars in agricultural losses each year. This study of the evolutionary history of Liriomyza species finds that highly destructive species have evolved multiple times and that the evolution of broad feeding diets does not follow a predictable trajectory.
Technical Abstract: The genus Liriomyza Mik (Diptera: Agromyzidae) is a diverse and globally distributed group of acalyptrate flies. Phylogenetic relationships among Liriomyza species have remained incompletely investigated and have never been fully addressed using molecular data. Here, we reconstruct the phylogeny of the genus Liriomyza using various phylogenetic methods (maximum likelihood, Bayesian inference, and gene tree coalescence) on target-capture-based phylogenomic datasets (nucleotides and amino acids) obtained from anchored hybrid enrichment (AHE). We have recovered tree topologies that are nearly congruent across all data types and methods, and individual clade support is strong across all phylogenetic analyses. Moreover, defined morphological species groups and clades are well-supported in our best estimates of the molecular phylogeny. Liriomyza violivora (Spencer) is a sister group to all remaining sampled Liriomyza species, and the well-known polyphagous vegetable pests [L. huidobrensis (Blanchard), L. langei Frick, L. bryoniae (Kaltenbach), L. trifolii (Burgess), L. sativae Blanchard, and L. brassicae (Riley)] belong to multiple clades that are not particularly closely related on the trees. Often, closely related Liriomyza species feed on distantly related host plants. We reject the hypothesis that cophylogenetic processes between Liriomyza species and their host plants drive diversification in this genus. Instead, Liriomyza exhibits a widespread pattern of major host shifts across plant taxa. Our new phylogenetic estimate for Liriomyza species provides considerable new information on the evolution of host-use patterns in this genus. In addition, it provides a framework for further study of the morphology, ecology, and diversification of these important flies.

It means that he is really upset and makes me cringe whenever it starts up.
The whole thing comes from an Arthur CD that we've had forever. We just listened to it yesterday for the first time in ages. Pookie was re-mesmerized and has been running around singing a bunch of the songs for the last couple days.
Tonight before bed, Pookie was singing "Loxodonta, genus Loxodonta, Loxodonta, that's a pachyderm." And then cracking up. In the song, there is a funny, tuba type of note at the end of that bit so I started blowing a loud rasberry where the tuba should have been. Pookie started laughing louder and kept singing the line over and over while I kept ending with louder and louder noises.
Then Pookie started yelling "Stop, stop, stop. [mumble mumble] she's just a little baby and she don't understand." But this time he was still cracking up which made it way more fun then when he normally says it. It just happens to be the next line in the song on the CD.
So from now on, I'm planning on starting the pachyderm part of the song whenever the "Stop, stop, stop" starts up and see if we can't turn it into a happy phrase instead of a mad one.

From Coding to Stakeout – 9 new ways Leica Captivate v3.0 can increase efficiency
Explorez Leica Captivate
5 improvements in Leica Captivate v3.0 that make switching between projects more efficient
Leica Captivate – How to import Leica Captivate data into Autodesk's AutoCAD Civil 3D
Leica Captivate v2.30 - the next great release
Improved workflows with Leica Captivate v3.0
As with everything - time is money, also in the Surveying and Construction world so today we show you 9 areas in which we have made improvements in Leica Captivate v3.0 that will help speed up the work process and make it more efficient.
1) A more efficient way of handling control data
These multiple changes are described in a previous article on Leica Captivate v3.0 , please read it for details. Leica Captivate v3.0 allows linking several jobs containing control and design data to one working job. This way, all Setup, Stakeout and Alignment data used with a working job is automatically activated when selecting the job in the home panel. It also allows using control data from more than one job in parallel and hiding jobs from the home panel to keep it tidy and only show what is needed at the time.
Control and design jobs can be linked to the working job.
In the new Job Management panel, jobs can be set to
visible/invisible for the Home panel.
2) Faster Coding and linework
The coding and linework functionality in the Measure app is one of the most used features and we have done several changes to make this even faster.
Firstly, we have added a hotkey to access the Load Code Template panel. This allows easily changing the sequence of codes when switching between cross sections.
Further, we have added five new hotkeys that allow switching a highlighted code box between being a linework code and a non-linework code with just one button press. It also allows starting new lines quickly. For instance, if measuring a tree and then wanting to start a line of trees, press the new hotkey User - Begin line and the code is changed to start a line of trees.
The new hotkeys to quickly switch coding between linework and non-linework
The third change is a small improvement but will make a difference for everyone working with attribute values. When an attribute value was selected, pressing the "Enter" button would close the selection list but not move the focus to the next field. This now works with the new version, making the entry of attribute values a much smoother experience.
And, last but not least, a change in multi-coding which may be most useful when surveying cables, pipelines or similar objects – it is now possible to permanently keep multi-coding on. This allows subsequent measurements of multiple points with the same coordinate but different codes. Permanent multi-coding might be useful when, for example, several cables or pipelines join and need measuring simultaneously.

Multi-coding enabled to measure the joined pipeline
Besides this, we have disabled the re-sorting of the code boxes when multi-coding is permanently on, making the point storage much faster.
3) Easily create Stakeout reports
Surveyors might need to quickly and easily provide reports about the points which were staked . This information may be needed in various formats and with varying content from the same job. While the job can contain a mixture of data (measured, control, staked), only the stakeout data is relevant for such a report.
Leica Captivate v3.0 now supports the export of user configured cutsheet data directly from within the Stake points app. The needed data can be provided in the required format and content directly from the field without the need of office software or further editing of the files.
The cutsheet content can be defined and stored for later use.

4) Accessing functions faster
When working in any software, each button press needs time. So the fewer buttons to press, the more time is saved. We have therefore added new hotkeys to allow faster access to often used functionality.
The new hotkeys allow the following:
Choose the nearest point when staking points with a GS sensor. This function was until now available in the tools menu and is now a hotkey for faster access.
Access the lights and accessories settings to easily turn on or off the laser pointer while working in an app
Access the ID templates panel to easily change the point numbering rule (e.g. with every new cross section to be measured)
5) Easier instrument configuration
We have made 2 changes to the general instrument configuration.
The first change is in the Transfer User Objects tool which now allows excluding the jobs when transferring the settings from one instrument to another. Up until now, jobs had always been included, which made it necessary to delete them on the new instrument. Now the settings can easily be transferred to new instruments without the need of removing jobs afterwards.
The second change is a general one in the entire system – everywhere a password can be entered, there is now a check box allowing to display the password in plain text. This makes entry of complicated password less error prone, which can, for instance, make SmartNet logins much easier.
Password displayed as clear text
6) More point information
Leica Captivate allows offsets for measured points and multiple elevations for staked points to be entered while in the app. However, once the points were stored, these values could no longer be changed. With the new Leica Captivate version, the offsets and multiple heights entered for each point are shown in the Data Management and, if needed, can be edited and updated later, before bringing them into the office.
For staked points, the stakeout results, shown in the Stake apps, are now also shown in the Data Management for each point, allowing them to be re-used later. This can help, for instance, if a peg gets knocked over on a building site and needs to be re-placed and re-labelled.
Showing the Stake results in the Edit Point panel
7) Saving on setups
There are two changes that can help save time on setups. The first may reduce the number of needed total station setups to do a survey and the second could speed up the Orientate to line setup method.
When starting a survey job, the surveyor will assess the area to be surveyed and then decide the best locations to set up the total station – usually trying to minimise the number of setups. While measuring, the surveyor may realize that additional points need measuring and would require an additional setup, sometimes for just a very small number of points. To save on additional setups, a Measure Hidden Point function is now available on the CS20 also in TS mode. It allows using the CS20 internal Disto for measuring distances to the points hidden from the total station and then calculating the coordinates for these points. This may save having to do an additional Setup and can reduce the time needed for a survey job significantly.
Inside the new Measure Hidden Point app for TS mode
To directly save time on setting up the instrument, we have extended the Orientate to line setup method. It is now possible to select an existing point to define the line to orientate to, instead of having to type in the point coordinates. Further, the line to orientate to can now define any azimuth instead of being fixed to the northing or easting axis. This makes the Orientate to line method much more flexible, allowing to fulfil more setup requirements.
8) Increased proficiency in the Road app
When staking a Road alignment, there may be single points in the blueprint (design) that do not belong to the alignment. For instance, if there is a fire hydrant in the blueprint with a location given by a chainage and offset, it will be useful to be able to stake that single point while working on the road and without leaving the app. So we have extended the COGO Tool within the Road app with new methods that allow creating points with chainage and offset information.
3 new methods available in the COGO Roads tool
New points created along the alignment with equal chainage increments,
distance and height offset
It is now not necessary anymore to calculate coordinates for these points or to leave the Roads app to enter and use them in Leica Captivate.
Further, Leica Captivate v3.0 now shows the length of an alignment as meta data when selecting an alignment. Easy access to alignment length information can be beneficial, for instance if the client wants to know how many lineal meters or feet there are in total for a particular section.
9) Improved speed when handling CAD data
For very large CAD files, Leica Captivate would occasionally experience performance issues when displaying them in the 3D viewer. For Leica Captivate v3.0, we have greatly improved the performance of showing CAD data so that the 3D viewer is now able to handle large CAD files smoothly.
And that's it - our 9 improvements to speed up the Leica Captivate work processes. One final improvement is the ability to optionally view DTMs as 3D surfaces. This one was not done for efficiency but for better visibility. Have a look at the screenshot below.

Home owners spend more money on kitchen remodeling than on any other home improvement project, according to the Home Improvement Research Institute (http://www.hiri.org). And with good reason. Kitchens are the hub of home life, and a source of pride.
A significant portion of kitchen remodeling costs may be recovered by the value the project brings to your home. Kitchen remodels in the $50,000 to $60,000 range recoup about 66% of the initial project cost at the home's resale, according to recent data from Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs. Value Report (http://www.remodeling.hw.net/2011/costvsvalue/national.aspx).
A minor kitchen remodel of about $20,000 does even better, returning more than 72% of your investment.
•Cooking traffic patterns: A walkway through the kitchen should be at least 36 inches wide. Work aisles should be a minimum of 42 inches wide and at least 48 inches wide for households with multiple cooks.
•Child safety: Avoid sharp, square corners on countertops, and make sure microwave ovens are installed at the proper height-3 inches below the shoulder of the primary user but not more than 54 inches from the floor.
•Outside access: If you want easy access to entertaining areas, such as a deck or patio, factor a new exterior door into your plans.
No matter the size and scope of your kitchen remodel, you can protect your budget by maintaining the same footprint: Keep the walls, locate new plumbing fixtures (http://www.houselogic.com/home-advice/kitchens/high-tech-kitchen-faucet-hip-smart-retrofit/) near existing plumbing pipes, and forget bump-outs.
It's easy to get carried away during your kitchen remodeling project. A six-burner commercial-grade range and luxury-brand refrigerator (http://www.houselogic.com/articles/appliance-buying-guide-refrigerators/) may make eye-catching centerpieces, but they may not fit your cooking needs or lifestyle.
High-priced appliances are worth the investment if you're an exceptional cook. Otherwise, save thousands with trusted brands that receive high marks at consumer review websites, like www.ePinions.com (http://www.ePinions.com) and www.amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com), and resources such as Consumer Reports (http://www.consumerreports.org).
•Install task lighting, such as recessed or track lights, over sinks and food prep areas; assign at least two fixtures per task to eliminate shadows. Under-cabinet lights (http://www.houselogic.com/home-advice/lighting/under-cabinet-lighting-your-kitchen-task-masters/) illuminate cleanup and are great for reading cookbooks. Pendant lights over counters bring the light source close to work surfaces.
•Ambient lighting includes flush-mounted ceiling fixtures, wall sconces, and track lights. Pair dimmer switches with ambient lighting to control intensity and mood.
•Install cabinets that reach the ceiling: They may cost more–and you might need a stepladder–but you'll gain valuable storage space for Christmas platters and other once-a-year items. In addition, you won't have to dust cabinet tops.
•Hang it up: Mount small shelving units on unused wall areas and inside cabinet doors; hang stock pots and large skillets on a ceiling-mounted rack; and add hooks to the backs of closet doors for aprons, brooms, and mops.
•Drop by the project during work hours: Your presence broadcasts your commitment to quality.
•Establish a communication routine: Hang a message board on site where you and the project manager can leave daily communiqués. Give your email address and cell phone number to subs and team leaders.
•Set house rules: Be clear about smoking, boom box noise levels, available bathrooms, and appropriate parking.

Thailand Braces for Large Anti-Government Rally
THANYARAT DOKSONE Friday, 23 November 2012 09:47 AM EST
BANGKOK — Thailand will deploy thousands of police officers and has invoked a special security law for an anti-government rally Saturday that is expected to be the largest since Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra took office in 2011, and that officials fear could turn violent.
Authorities expect tens of thousands of protesters, a turnout that would serve as a sharp reminder of the deep political tensions in the country despite two years of relative calm.
The demonstration is being organized by a royalist group calling itself "Pitak Siam" — or "Protect Thailand" — at Bangkok's Royal Plaza, a public space near Parliament that has been used by protesters in the past.
Led by retired army Gen. Boonlert Kaewprasit, the group accuses Yingluck's government of corruption, ignoring insults to the revered monarchy and being a puppet of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who is Yingluck's brother and was ousted by a 2006 coup that sent the country into spasms of political upheaval.
While the group is a newcomer to Thailand's protest scene, it is linked to the infamous "Yellow Shirt" protesters, whose rallies led to Thaksin's overthrow. They later toppled a Thaksin ally after invading and shutting Bangkok's two airports for a week in 2008.
Yingluck is taking Saturday's rally seriously. Her Cabinet invoked the Internal Security Act on Thursday in three Bangkok districts around the protest site, and she later addressed the nation to explain the move, citing concerns of violence.
"If a large number of people are mobilized by incitement ... and there is evidence that violence may be used to achieve those ends, then this is a case of national security," Yingluck said in her nationally televised address.
The security act allows authorities to close roads, impose curfews and ban use of electronic devices in designated areas. Measures began taking effect Thursday night, with police closing roads around Yingluck's office, the Government House, and placing extra security at the homes of senior officials, including the prime minister.
National police chief spokesman Maj. Gen. Piya Uthayo said Friday that nearly 17,000 police officers had been called in from around the country to provide security for the rally.
Thailand has been gripped by bouts of political instability since 2006, with Thaksin's supporters and opponents taking turns to spar over who has the right to rule the country.
The most violent episode came in 2010, when Thaksin's "Red Shirt" supporters led a two-month occupation of central Bangkok to demand the resignation of an anti-Thaksin government. The protests sparked a military crackdown that left at least 91 people dead and more than 1,700 injured.
Thaksin has lived in self-imposed exile since 2008 when he jumped bail to evade a corruption conviction and two-year jail term. He retains huge popularity among the rural poor, who want to see him pardoned and returned to power. But he is reviled by the urban elite and educated middle class, who see him as authoritarian and a threat to the monarchy.
Buoyed by Thaksin's political machine, Yingluck was elected by a landslide victory in August 2011. She initially was criticized for her lack of political experience — she was an executive in Shinawatra family businesses — but has won praise for leading the country through one of its longest peaceful periods in recent years.

The state of Wisconsin is no longer a hot bed for metallic sulfide mining, having its Legislature kill a bill in March that would have streamlined mining permit process in favor of mining companies. But it is one of the hotbeds for another type of mining, sand mining, a billion-dollar business.
The process known as "fracking," for hydraulic fracturing, is used by natural gas and oil drillers to more easily get the fossil fuels out of the ground, requires sand that is nearly perfectly round and has strength to withstand the process. Sand, water and toxic chemicals are blasted into wells, creating fissures in the rock and freeing hard-to-reach pockets of oil and natural gas. Mining firms can get $200 a ton for the sand.
While Texas and Illinois hold the market share in mines, Northwestern Wisconsin boasts some of the best fracking sand in the country and is in the midst of a sand rush of sorts. Companies are eyeing that part of the state with such fervor that regulations and zoning issues can't seem to keep up.
And fracking has also hit the national dialogue as the federal government has issued standards for air and water pollution by some fracking drillers. The fracking sand rush started about three years ago in Wisconsin. Now, at least 16 frac-sand mines and processing facilities are running, and at least 25 more mines are planned across 15 Wisconsin counties.
Once the open pit mines began moving earth, neighbors got worried about all the dust in the air. The process has raised fears of health problems from land, air, and groundwater pollution which could include cancer and silicosis, a potentially fatal lung disease.
The state Department of Natural Resources issues permits for wastewater and stormwater disposals, but there are no regulations regarding air pollution from the dust drifting off sand trains heading west to the oil and gas fields. And mine neighbors aren't happy about sand getting into their homes and everything in them.
Industry types say fears are overblown. The DNR hasn't done anything about air pollution because they say they can't measure how much sand is blowing around. In 2004 the agency was advised to regulate silica as a hazardous air pollutant. A draft report prepared by the agency notes that the silica can affect people around the mines and sand-hauling trains, but says further study is needed. No matter that they haven't really required air monitors around sand mines to find out. The only definitive work in the area of lung cancer risk looked at mine workers and found a connection. The latest from the DNR says they are not interested in further regulation.
Mining companies also seem to be targeting townships and unincorporated communities because they lack zoning rules that could contain the mines.
The feds don't regulate silica and most states don't either. Texas, California, Massachusetts and Vermont have some state oversight to the process. Vermont recently voted to ban fracking drilling until 2016. Twenty-four states considered fracking bills in some form or another in the past year. Thirty-two states have drilling operations that use fracking.
Fracking has also come to the fore in Ohio, where it was reported this week that the state is at a total loss to find enough drill site inspectors to monitor the pollutants. The feds also face such daunting odds. In New Mexico alone, there are more than 30,000 wells with only 69 inspectors.
The feds are, however, ready to regulate air and water pollution coming from fracking sites in oil and gas exploring, albeit with a limited scope. It recently announced that it would look at methane emission and regulate drilling on federal lands only. Despite vociferous outcry from drilling companies, the rules end up affecting very few operations. The plan would cover about 11 percent of the natural gas drilling and 5 percent of oil drilling in the U.S. About 3,400 wells are being drilled each year on public lands through fracking.
A key factor left out of any proposals is requiring companies to disclose what chemicals they are using in the process. It is a key for regulators to see how the groundwater may be affected by the injection of all those chemicals. The companies are hiding behind "trade secrets" to keep the information private. Drillers would also not have to say what chemicals they use until after the drilling is done. The first draft of the rules required pre-drilling disclosure, but that was removed after a special White House meeting between the Obama administration and mining firms.
The rules stand as proposed right now and there will be a 60-day comment period first.
