The United States needs more transparency around fire data for safer wind operations
By WPED Contributor | January 13, 2021
By Angela Krcmar, Global Sales Manager, Wind, Firetrace International
Fire is one of the most expensive losses for any wind farm owner and operator to manage. Beyond the potential devastation of the turbine, fires pose a serious hazard to human life and the environment. As such, the wind industry is already taking action to prevent fires and their spread, adopting strategic and technological solutions in order to ensure safer operations.
However, despite this ambition, the wind industry has been hindered by its own unwillingness to share data on fire incidents when they happen. Currently, while a handful of U.S. states mandate that all fires are reported to local authorities, this reporting lacks detail about the precise nature and cause of the fire. This lack of in-depth incident data prevents the industry from not only understanding the frequency of wind turbine fires, but whether current turbine designs or operational best practice expose owners and operators to greater risk.
Evolving risks based on expert testimony

Despite a lack of transparency around fire incident data, a few key risks have been identified from experts in the field. As designs have adapted to protect against environmental hazards like lightning, internal, mechanical or electrical failures causing sparks have become an increasingly common source of fire.
The risk of these mechanical or electrical failures occurring increases depending on turbine age and the number of skilled technicians available to perform maintenance. Overall, around 7% of the current wind fleet is now over 15 years old – a figure much higher in Europe and North American due to the maturity of the sector. Additionally, while there are now more than 60,000 turbines totaling 109.9 GW spinning in the United States, there are only around 7,000 technicians to manage that fleet. This gap between number of technicians and turbines increases the likelihood that a number of assets will simply lack regular and thorough maintenance, resulting in the accumulation of mechanical and electrical defects.
The changing climate, particularly along the West Coast, has created arid conditions that increase not only the risk that a spark will become a fire, but the likelihood of that fire growing and spreading into the environment. Electrical sparks in poorly maintained transmission lines have already resulted in wildfires that have caused untold damage to communities – and ultimately bankrupted the utility following litigation.
It is therefore vital for the wind industry to take steps to manage these risks and prevent the spread of any fires that do start.
Best-practice in design and operations to reduce fire risk
One of the first steps to reducing fire risk is to start with the turbine itself. While most turbines have been designed to reduce the risk of fires starting, some components can either increase the likelihood of sparks or increase the damage that a fire can cause.
For example, as turbines have grown in size for increased megawatt capacity, a number of manufacturers have opted for carbon blades to further decrease the weight without sacrificing strength in the face of high windspeeds. However, while these blades generally increase the lifetime of an asset, they still pose a significant hazard in the event of a fire, as carbon composite dust can be more explosive than previous designs.
Similarly, tower cables are necessary to transport electricity from the nacelle to the grid and cannot be designed out. However, while cable materials are difficult to set alight, if enough heat builds up at a splice, then a fire can start.
Faulty electrical transformers are a common root cause of wind turbine fires due to arc flashes – and if located in the nacelle, can cause total destruction of the asset.
As such, systems to monitor, protect and suppress fire are necessary to keep all the benefits of component improvements like use of carbon blades and higher turbine output while minimizing fire risk. Owners and operators can ask their manufacturers to install these systems ahead of project construction or choose to retrofit them currently operational projects.
However, beyond the asset itself, there are a number of steps that can be taken at the O&M level to reduce fire risk. A common practice that can increase risk of fires is remote turbine shutdown and start-up – before a turbine is switched on again, technicians must first determine what the initial error was and whether restarting the turbine would result in another failure or sparks.
In order to ensure up-to-date best practice and allow for benchmarking between different strategies, the industry must take steps toward transparency. Once fire data is accessible, owners and operators can make more effective decisions around the level of fire protection needed to prevent significant financial and reputational losses.
Angela Krcmar has over 10 years of experience in the fire protection industry focusing on the renewable sectors including wind and battery storage. For the past 10 years Mrs. Krcmar has led Firetrace efforts in the wind industry, contacting and visiting wind farms, owners and manufacturers in an effort to discuss needs and advantages of fire protection for wind applications. With the increases in the size and value of turbines, the cost of potential equipment losses, employee safety, downtime and increases in insurance premiums the need for fire protection is rapidly being recognized and owners, operators and manufacturers are now exploring their options.
Mrs. Krcmar is an active member of the AWEA Wind Environmental, Health, and Safety Standards Committee Meeting, member of the NFPA 855 Committee for Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems and contributing member of the UL 6141 technical standards panel.

U.S. playing with 'every goal matters' mentality crushes Thailand 13-0 to open World Cup
By Filip Bondy

The first match went as advertised, and then some — little more than a one-way shooting gallery. The U.S. women's national team whupped overmatched Thailand, 13-0, in its World Cup opener on Tuesday in Reims, as star striker Alex Morgan scored an astounding five goals to tie a long-standing record set by Michelle Akers against Taiwan in 1991.
There was nothing lucky, or unlucky, about these 13 goals. They simply felt inevitable. The merciless, double-digit result represented the most goals ever scored by the Americans in a World Cup match, and the largest winning margin in the tournament's history, breaking the 11-goal margin of victory by Germany over Argentina in 2007.
"I'm speechless," Morgan said. "The ball just bounced my way tonight."
The final score created debate, even among FOX commentators, as to whether coach Jill Ellis should have pulled her players back to prevent the onslaught. Goal differential may become a factor in Group F, but that's a specious argument because the brackets make it arguably more favorable to finish second than first in Group F. There is, perhaps, a stronger argument to be made that pulling back the attackers would show disrespect for Thailand.
"We really just came into this game and really wanted to showcase ourselves, and what we've been preparing for," Morgan said, explaining the pile-on. "Every goal matters in this tournament and that's what we were working on this game. We got a lot of attacks and were really clinical."
The drubbing wasn't pretty, but it was a reminder of two soccer realities: The women's game — at least on the wide, international scale — still suffers from harsh inequalities; and the American women continue to outperform the U.S. men with infinitely better results in major tournaments.
The game itself was decided quickly enough. The Thais went into a 4-5-1 defensive stance, yet the U.S. easily created crossing and cutting lanes. The Thai goalkeeper, Sukanya Chor Charoenying, was overmatched and tentative from the start. The Americans broke through on a twelfth-minute header by the wide-open Morgan, off a pretty cross from Kelley O'Hara. It was only her fourth goal in three World Cups, and she had not scored in the team's last three lead-up games.

The Americans' second goal arrived in the 20th minute, on a hard left-footer from Rose Lavelle from outside the box. Then Lindsey Horan scored on a rebound off a set play in the 33rd minute for the third score, sealing matters. In the second half, the U.S. scored 10 times. The Americans added four more goals from Morgan, a second from Lavelle, plus two goals from Sam Mewis, one from Megan Rapinoe, Mallory Pugh and Carli Lloyd.
As a result, the Americans sit in first place in Group F with three points, ahead of Sweden on goal differential.
This was even more of a mismatch than was expected when the No. 1-ranked team in the world plays the 34th-ranked team in the world. The Americans have an incredibly cushy, early draw — though it may well lead them to the most difficult quarterfinal imaginable against France. For now, in Group F, they play Thailand, then 39th-ranked Chile on Sunday and then ninth-ranked Sweden. The Swedes defeated Chile on Tuesday, 2-0, in an earlier game. By the time the Americans face Sweden on June 20, both teams likely will have clinched advancement.
Meanwhile, the gulf between the U.S. men's and women's national teams has never been wider. Back in 1999, when the women of summer won the World Cup so famously, the men's team was coming off a disastrous, last-place finish in the France '98 tournament. Twenty years later, not much has changed. The women's' team is one of the top two favorites, along with France, to win this World Cup, while the American men are, well… a huge embarrassment.
The men's team, with a fading generation of older, flawed players, failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in a weak CONCACAF region. Now, as a younger, flawed group heads into the Gold Cup this month under Gregg Berhalter, the U.S. side is coming off two shutout defeats to non-powers Jamaica and Venezuela.
Women's World Cup 2019: The U.S. takes home the gold with fourth title win
The gap has only widened, even though the pay-to-play systems that develop these two U.S. teams are somewhat similar. The reason for such different results lies in part with the lower priority many other countries place on the women's game, particularly in nations with limited resources. Laughers like this Thai match are far rarer in a men's World Cup, though they do happen. Even mighty Brazil lost, 7-1, to Germany, at home in 2014.
The U.S. women, particularly outspoken Megan Rapinoe, have recently expressed their disgust toward FIFA for scheduling three tournament finals — the women's World Cup, the Gold Cup, and South America's Copa America all for July 7, albeit at different times. In reality, the American women have nothing to fear in terms of sharing the spotlight. As recent history has demonstrated, they will outpace all comers in television ratings if they reach the final. The 2015 championship match against Japan produced the highest numbers for any soccer match ever broadcast in the U.S.

Pilot threatens to cancel flight if passenger AirDrops nude photos
Rarely does a flight go by without annoying passenger antics, be it noisy eating, snoring, or taking off shoes to reveal smelly feet. However, a woman shared an unfortunate experience that takes the cake.
Teiglor Marsalis took to TikTok to share what happened on her most recent Southwest Airlines trip.
There was reportedly a passenger on the plane who used his phone to AirDrop an unsolicited inappropriate image to other passengers before takeoff.
This nearly cost Teiglor—who flew from Houston's William P. Hobby Airport to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico—her vacation.
The AirDrop incident was brought to the attention of the captain, who made an announcement: "So here's the deal. If this goes through on the ground, I'll have to retreat to the gate.

"Everyone has to get out, we have to get security in, your vacation will be ruined."
He continued, "So folks, whatever that AirDrop thing is, stop sending nudes and let's go to Cabo."
Teiglor's TikTok video, which she posted on August 8, has gone viral and has racked up a whopping 150,000 likes.
More than 3,000 users have saved the video and nearly 12,000 have forwarded it to a friend.
NOT MISSING…
The video was immediately inundated with comments, with TikTok user Nikki Marie saying, "This feels like my mom in the car turns to me and my twin sister, 'If you guys don't stop, I swear to God'."
@walsami added to the joke: "I'm going to flip this plane and everyone's holiday will be ruined. Haha big dad vibes."
Austen Lambert joked, "Fill this in under 'Suff, a pilot shouldn't say to a cabin'."
But others appreciated the gravity of the situation; the practice, known as 'Cyberflashing', has become a criminal offense in the UK.

The video is also doing the rounds on the Reddit sharing platform.
@pompompomponponom joked: "Pilot didn't put his phone on airplane mode."
@airmanray added: "It must have been horrific nudes when even the pilot threatens to turn the plane."
Other users didn't seem to blame the culprit who sent the nude photo, but those who set their AirDop to "Everyone."

Coalition of FBOs Convenes Public Meeting on Crime Prevention at Historic Grace Cathedral; San Francisco
Posted bycoalitionfbo 14. November 2019 8. September 2020 Posted inSan FranciscoTags:CoalitionFBO
CoalitionFBO-SanFrancisco-BookletDownload
The Episcopal Cathedral is famed for its mosaics by Jan Henryk de Rosen, a labyrinth, and stained-glass windows depicting figures including John Glenn, Thurgood Marshall, Jane Addams, Robert Frost and Albert Einstein, as well as the 1906 earthquake, a shrine to victims of gun violence, and the 1945 signing of the UN Charter in San Francisco.
The Event featured two outstanding musical performances: chamber instrumentalists Samsun van Loon on cello and Ronny Michael Greenberg on piano; and Vincent Tolliver (viola) and Sid Smith III (piano) from the Third Baptist Church.
An Interfaith Ceremony offered prayers and sacred texts representing the major faiths: Ven. Bhante Chao Chu, President, Los Angeles Buddhist Union (Buddhism); Pastor Tenile Finister-Zayas, Assistant Pastor, Time for Christ Ministries, Hayward, California (Christianity); Mr. Shiva Paturi, Religious Devotee in Fremont, California (Hinduism); Imam Mohammad Ismail, Chaplain, University of Sheffield, United Kingdom (Islam); and Mr. Gary Fleischman, Community Volunteer in the Bay Area (Judaism).
The Rev. Dr. Ellen Clark-King, Vice Dean and Canon for social justice, graciously opened the event and welcomed everyone on behalf of Grace Cathedral. From Vienna, Austria, video messages were shown from Dr. Michael Platzer, the co-chair of the Coalition of Faith-Based Organizations; and Mr. Jean-Luc Lemahieu, Director, Division for Policy Analysis and Public Affairs, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), expressing the urgent need for the involvement of all faiths in working with the UN.
Representatives from local political leaders shared encouragement and support, including: Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, U.S. Senator Kamala Harris, and Member of the U.S. House of Representatives Barbara Lee.
Program Speakers
Dr. Thomas Walsh, Co-Chair Coalition of Faith-Based Organizations and the Chair of UPF International, presided over and opened the program by offering an overview of the work of the coalition, which was launched in May 2019. He underscored the value of partnerships and the profound relevance of FBOs to crime prevention and criminal justice, making special reference to the work of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and noting that in recent years the collaboration between United Nations agencies and FBOs has been growing. The coalition will present its recommendations during the 14th United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, scheduled for April 2020 in Kyoto, Japan, and hopes to carry its recommendations forward to the UN General Assembly.
Mr. Herb Behrstock, Past President, United Nations Association, East Bay chapter, said: "I salute the coalition and UPF. We must focus on the big picture and see the links between government, the UN and the criminal justice system of each nation. What will influence government's actions are causal relationships among the people. FBOs have not expressed their concerns nor raised their voices enough about the violence that is growing. They do not know the great power they possess. When the UN was created, it marked a milestone in human history where compacts between governments representing their people around the world supported and formed a union, which would allow the spiritual and the secular to work together. The big problems of combating crime and injustice require both the spiritual/religious body and the practical/governmental body to cooperate. This is the 75th anniversary of the UN, and this gathering of people has come about to create a stronger alliance between faith-based groups and governmental groups."
Dr. Bidyut K. Bose, Founder and Executive Director, Niroga Institute, Oakland, California, said: "Knowingly or unaware, humankind has inflicted great trauma upon one another in many forms—physical, mental, emotional—which have created the conditions for crime and violence. How do we heal our trauma? The internal, quiet ways of meditation and mindfulness have the quality to do that. Empathy is an overlooked human trait that is a powerful tool to consider others' well-being."
Rev. Dr. Amos C. Brown, the President of the San Francisco branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the pastor of the Third Baptist Church of San Francisco, asked: "Do you have good religion? We must be certain that our religion and our spirituality are being practiced without contradiction." Earlier this year Rev. Brown traveled to his ancestral homeland of Ghana and visited the dungeons where his ancestors were held in hellish conditions for months before boarding the slave ships. He commented that an official from the Church of England occupied a room overlooking the compound. "How in God's name can that be called good religion that claims to practice love?" Rev. Brown asked.
Mr. Julio Escobar is a member of the California Catholic Dioceses' Restorative Justice Directors Team representing the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Mr. Escobar grew up in El Salvador and experienced the civil war between the government and the guerrillas. He was caught in the middle and gave a testimony about witnessing that nightmare during the 1980s. He believes that love must be given to those marginalized in society and has dedicated his life to those affected by crime. His current calling is comforting families that are grieving with a death in the family or incarceration of the young in juvenile facilities.
Imam Mohammad Ismail, Chaplain, University of Sheffield, United Kingdom, spoke about "rampant materialism and antisocial behavior among our youth." The young people are "losing their spirituality, and with that loss come the conditions for crime to emerge. Punishment is not the only answer for crime. Prevention is more important than punishment, and that is where the attention needs to be placed. It is absolutely vital that FBOs cooperate and become much more active. They must teach that faith in our Creator is the foundation for ethics and values." He concluded: "How we behave when alone and no one is looking is critical to the quality of our spirituality.
Ven. Bhante Chao Chu, President of the Los Angeles Buddhist Union, spoke about the need for wisdom, "which will show us how interconnected we are. We must use our collective wisdom to see the root cause of crime, filth, and the valueless. It is concepts of peacefulness and the teachings of Buddha that can bring harmony, unity and justice. We must achieve a sustainable harmony, which is critical for peace (meaning humanity's most basic needs must be taken care of). Without this, all will struggle. Social issues are getting worse." He called for an awakening for "ourselves and our elected officials."
Chief Jeanine Nicholson, the Fire Chief of San Francisco, said: "My mission is interconnectedness and serving. Our mission at the fire station is serving others, protecting others when the danger of fire arrives. Our skills are needed now in many emergency situations, and our officers also suffer when seeing what violence does to others. The Fire Department is now helping at-risk youth by training them in emergency medical technician (EMT) skills, which gives them a career choice." Chief Nicholson welcomed input from the religious community and FBOs.
Mr. G. Jagannathan, Sathya Sai International Organization, described a faith-based approach to crime prevention based on the teachings of the Indian guru Sathya Sai Baba. "Brothers and sisters, Baba taught us how to love; it is our duty to love. There is only one class of people, just as there is only one God; love is all-inclusive. In our beautiful, loving world we see all kinds of strife that humankind is responsible for. It is man who has spoiled it with his jealousy, greed, anger and selfishness. Cut the 'I'; this is the root cause of all strife. National peace comes from peaceful communities and societies. The values of truthfulness, righteousness, peace, love and non-violence will help us in having unity of thought-word-action. For peace to come, there must be a transformation of man, which is possible only through the spirituality of love."
Pastor Michael McBride, National Director, Faith in Action Live Free Project, spoke about a "fallen peace." He said it is the role of Christianity to champion the cause of true peace by following Jesus' way and the path he followed. "Use principles of faith, care, and unity to end violence," he said.
Stephanie L. Mann, Founder of Safe Kids Now National Network, Richmond, California, outlined three ideas for the faith community to restore the values of America's Founders: (1) Use digital information to teach values and what is good. (2) Be an example to our children by practicing love your neighbor, and (3) Religions must train and educate those who can become leaders. People of faith and values must stand up and speak up."
Dr. Wendy O'Brien, a legal Officer with the UN Office on Drugs and Crime: Global Program on Violence Against Children, urged us to reflect upon that which binds us in strength—our common humanity. "The international community has long upheld a shared commitment to human rights and human dignity," she said. "The UN Charter recognizes the dignity and worth of the human person, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms that the inherent dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family are the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. Civil society and faith-based organizations have a powerful role to play in promoting respectful and inclusive dialogue that celebrates diversity and supports strong families and cohesive communities that are resilient to crime."
Wendy-O'Brien-PresentationDownload
Dr. Muzammil H. Siddiqi, the Imam of the Islamic Society of Orange County, California, said: "Peace be with you. We have the spirit of God within us. Crime is forbidden by Islamic law. No one is born a criminal. Every child is born innocent. It is government's responsibility to prevent crime, provide a good education and urge a moral upbringing. Society must provide the basic needs for its people. Those who commit crimes must be given a chance to repent and be healed and saved. Crime is a sin. Treatment is crucial and is preferred over simply punishment and imprisonment. We must work together and must agree upon a moral code of conduct to be our ethical guide. The Golden Rule still is so valid, which FBOs can all agree with."
Dr. Irvin Waller, Professor Emeritus, University of Ottawa and author of Science and Secrets of Ending Violent Crime, described the event as "a call to action" and said: "We must hold our government's feet to the fire. America is a nation that has groups that are demanding action of government, such as March for Our Lives. We must fight the roots of violence. FBOs need to make their congregations aware of the problem and urge them to take action. We need action, mobilize." Dr. Waller provided sobering crime statistics but also cited cities that have been successful in lowering crime. He concluded by quoting Nelson Mandela, "It only seems impossible until it's done."
Coalition of Faith-Based Organizations Co-Chair Dr. Thomas Walsh introduced the "Spirituality and Justice Declaration" about the important partnership between the faith-based community and our civic leaders. The draft was distributed to the audience. Closing the event, he expressed warm wishes to the speakers and attendees. Many remained to talk with the speakers, to exchange business cards and begin the task of forming meaningful relationships that will grow in the days ahead. A great thank you to all those who came from near and far and spoke of the principles that give meaning and joy to our lives.

June brides in Fire Emblem Heroes and the luckiest roll
It's about time I return to one of my favorite pastimes: Writing excessively about video games. It's been a while, and I'm glad to be at a point where I can without too many distractions. My internship and the build-up to next semester at Cal State Fullerton may interrupt some of that free time, but I'm still working on arranging my timing for all that, so I'll probably talk more about it in the near future.
Anyway though, that's enough about work. There's a time and a place for everything, and this is the place for video game talk at this particular time.
Since Fire Emblem Echoes came out, I've been pretty obsessively playing that. It's a seriously phenomenal game, enough that I'm sure I'll need another very long post in the future just to talk about everything it does right. Playing that game has also re-ignited my passion for Fire Emblem Heroes, so even though I missed a couple updates I'll happily start posting about them again.
In this update we have four new heroes, special variants of units from four different games, to celebrate the apparently well known traditional cliché of June being a popular month to hold weddings. As a 21-year-old single college student, I was unaware that this was a cliché, so I guess if nothing else this is a good example of video games teaching me things!
The four heroes are:
Caeda from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (Though the game lists her as being from Mystery of the Emblem despite it technically not being her first appearance… Consider that a personal gripe if anything)
Lyndis (or Lyn) from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
Cordelia from Fire Emblem Awakening
Charlotte from Fire Emblem Fates
Speaking of personal gripes, why would Charlotte be introduced into Heroes through this special bridal event if she is not even a regular character in the game yet? Not that I can complain since one of my favorite units from Fates has now been introduced, but it seems strange to not use a character that already has an original model in the game.
Along with new characters comes a new spread of maps. As of late the game has been introducing new main story chapters through a world featuring Ike from Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn and a world featuring Celica from Echoes, but the "Bridal Blessings" focus maps are instead set in a Paralogue mission.
As usual, this Paralogue offers three missions with three difficulty levels, which provide nine orbs for players on top of the returning daily two orbs and three orbs from associated tasks to complete.
Story-wise, it doesn't offer anything too special. It's more of a goofy little romp through some sort of wedding festival where the four aforementioned 'brides' are competing to receive a special bouquet that apparently grants eternal happiness in current or future marriages to whoever catches it.
The oddest part of the setup for this series of missions is Commander Anna being the most excited to bring the player character out to the celebration so she can try to get the special bouquet for herself.
For a character known to have rejected notions of traditional romance in her support with Robin in Fire Emblem Awakening, it's certainly a strange way to start.
And yes, I did remember that small character detail on my own, because I'm pathetic like that. But I bring it up for good reason.
That reason being that the whole setup becomes a conduit for Anna showing the most accurate expression to her canonical character by the end of the Paralogue, something my friend Jonathan and I both picked out by the end of the battles.
Whether it actually matters that the traditionally greedy character shows a more strong semblance to her canon personality by hoping to sell a magical love-based item for her own profit is not really relevant to anything. I just thought it was great that my friend and I had a moment with a game series we both like, so I figured I would at least chronicle that for the future if I ever decide to look back here.
Really beyond that nothing too special happens with the characters in this Paralogue's story besides them reacting to wedding stuff in ways that might be expected.
I liked it, but I got through the missions quickly and kind of just moved on… Except for the suggested battle capabilities of the gowns, which I will continue to question for quite some time to come.
Sure Cordelia. Sure they will.
Of course I say that, but I suppose I should bank on it being true. Because after Jonathan drew a special 5 star hero from the new bridal character focus, I decided to try my own luck.
I've been saving up my orbs for some time hoping that a focus will come soon that has characters I really want (like Neimi, come on already Intelligent Systems give us some more Sacred Stones characters), but with 170 stored up I figured it wouldn't hurt to use 20 for a try at these special characters.
I got two of them in one pull.
Seriously I don't think I've ever gotten this lucky in this game. I'm not expecting to ever get this lucky in the future either, but for now I'm willing to revel in the joy of this blessing from the random number generator. ESPECIALLY since Cordelia's skills and Cupid Bow make her pretty amazing at buffing other units on my team, something that's incredibly well-timed considering the re-ignition of my passion for the game has also led to me being more interested in playing with the online metagame.
A metagame which led me to build a unit up that benefits immensely from receiving buffs of any kind:
In other words, if there's anything to take away from this little event, it's that I love it when a plan comes together.
If you have any thoughts on the new summoning focus, on probably the luckiest thing to ever happen to me in a free-to-play mobile game or really anything video game-related since it's been so long since I've been really active around here, please feel free to let me know in the comments below!

Revitalizing your garden soil can be as simple as planting the right cover crops.
One of the best things gardeners can do for their soil is add organic matter. Compost, manure and rotted leaves are all great soil amendments —but have you considered growing organic matter in place? This ancient technique of improving soil is called cover cropping.
Growing cover crops, sometimes called green manures, is fairly simple. Plant a crop you do not intend to harvest, and when it reaches a certain level of maturity, mow it down and till it into the soil. The crop decomposes in the soil, feeding soil microbes, improving soil structure and releasing nutrients that future garden plants can use.
Cover crops also prevent soil erosion, suppress weeds, reduce pest and disease problems, and capture and recycle nutrients left over from previous crops.
Typically, cover crops are combination plantings of grains and legumes (bean relatives). The grain provides bulk roughage, sometimes referred to as biomass, while the legume captures nitrogen from the air and "fixes" it into the soil, making it available for later plantings. Cover crops are annual plants, living for only one season, and are broken out into summer and winter crops. Seeds for these crops are usually available at your local feed-and-seed store but can also be purchased online.
Obviously this technique is best suited to vegetable gardens, where crops are changed out each season, but it can be used to build soil for flower and perennial beds. Crop rotation is an important component of managing plant diseases in a vegetable garden. I use cover crops as a part of my overall rotation plan. To manage crop rotation, group your vegetables into related families. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and Irish potatoes, for example, are all members of the nightshade family and share similar pests and diseases. To minimize these problems, family members should not be planted in a particular spot in the garden more than once every three years. Cover cropping provides a season or even a whole year of non-production while improving the soil.
Here's how I do it. In the spring, I plant all my nightshade crops together. Once they finish producing, I pull them out and prepare the soil for a winter cover crop. My go-to for this season is a mix of oats and crimson clover, broadcast over the rows in September. They slow their growth in winter and start producing flower buds in early spring; this is the time to mow them down and till them into the soil. Plants have the highest amount of nutrients just before they flower, so tilling them in at this time provides the greatest soil benefit. Plow your cover crop under at least a month before your desired planting date so it will decompose before planting.
I like to follow a winter cover crop with a summer cover. This gives a full year for diseases to dissipate and soil to rebuild. My preferred summer cover crop is a mixture of buckwheat and cowpeas; in a typical summer, this combo can be planted and plowed under twice. In subsequent seasons, I rotate through other non-nightshade vegetable families, so I'm not replanting tomato relatives in that area until the three-year rotation is complete.
Even in my small vegetable garden, this strategy keeps my soil and plants healthy and productive.

Boulders Lost: Jann Scott's Journal
Dec 23rd
Not everybody is going to have a Merry Christmas. Boulders lost underbelly alcholics and drug addicts are living in tents, under tarps, in section 8 housing and trailers.
Kathy has been living in section 8 housing for 5 years. She is 50ish has a bad leg and drinks everyday. She lives in one of Boulders section 8 apartment buildings. Social security and Medicaid keep her propped up so she can drink all day and get sicker and sicker. Kathy is an alcoholic. She admits it. Most chronic alcoholics do. Her alcoholic gout is so bad she can barely walk. A visiting nurse drops in to see her twice a week. Social worker interns from the Boulder Homeless shelter see her monthly. They are all very nice and hopeful for Kathy, but her basic problem is she is an alcoholic. If she stopped drinking 90% of her health problems would go away. But you and I pay for her lost lifestyle. We enable her. Now the county mental health officials, nor the DA will agree with me on this. They think I am uncaring and mean-spirited. But I know what is going on out there. I mentor a lot of these folks. They are honest with me. They don't have mental illness. They have alcoholism. Last month Kathy fell and drove a spike into her head. She was found by her friend Austin who took her to the hospital where she spent a week. Now she has a little brain damage, a hole in her head and she can't drink enough.. so she takes pills…… Disappearing into pitiful demoralization.
Austin has been in and out of prison, jails, the ARC and hospitals over the past 35 years. He's always been an alcoholic. He went to prison 30 years ago for molesting his daughter while he was drinking. That is actually a plight of a lot of alcoholic men. They just don't get reported or caught. But Austin was an alcoholic speed freak. Today he has served all of his time and has put stretches of sobriety together. We talked earlier today at his campsite. He lives under a tarp like hundreds of drunks in Boulder. He is a registered sex offender for a crime he committed over 30 years ago and he can't catch a break. He never re-ofended, but he has an SO jacket. 20 years ago he was sober and had a job in the kitchen of one of the dorms at the University. H'd worked there for 5 years, was an exemplary employee and CU wanted to make him a supervisor. Austin had learned kitchen management in the penitentiary. He could fix any piece of industrial equipment, cook any meal, run a kitchen and serve 2000 people 3 times a day. He was excellent at it. When the university ran a background check they discovered his past and fired him on the spot and had him escorted off campus. From that point Austin gave up and went down hill. He told me today from his campsite that he is persecuted for his past. He can't get a place to live, can't get a job…. so he collects SSI and Medicaid and drinks… He is waiting for death.
Sometimes Kathy lets him sleep on her floor. But she is being thrown out of her apartment because the landlord hates section 8 rentals. They all do. Austin can't qualify for section 8. The homeless shelter can't help him. So Austin crashes where he can. Sometime I let him sleep in my heated garage in my big beautiful house….. but he is always drunk and he knows better than to come around me when he is drinking.
Scottie lives in a trailer. His kidneys gave out from drinking. He is nearing 50 and is friends with Austin and Kathy. He got fired from his gas station job last month for drinking. Austin says he's not long for this world.
Scottie rents a room to Harmony who is 20 something. She tells everyone she has cancer and shaves her head everyday. But Harmony is a chronic alcoholic and drug addict. She doesn't work but she always has money. Scottie and Austin theorize that she is a prostitute because she disappears with various older men routinely. Some of Harmonies friends who were strippers and hookers from the Bustop got killed over the past few years. One flipped her pickup truck in the Canyon last year. She was drunk and high. The other got killed by a John. The police are still looking for him. The case never even made the papers. Why ? Because these are people no one cares about.. no one knows… they live in the dark shadows of Boulders trailer court. Richard lives 3 trailers down from Scottie. He is a bad alcoholic too. He used to be a finish carpenter and cabinet maker. Richard says he could just never stop drinking. He gets his SSI check each month and drinks.
20 street alcoholics died this year. The public officials call them homeless and want you to believe they died from exposure and mental illness. Nothing could be further from the truth. You know what they died from right ?? They died from what is killing my friends above.
Citizens of Boulder are killing these people with kindness. so what are we supposed to do? Here is the rub. Make all public assistance contingent upon being sober. sounds reasonable right ?? Nope .. not to all the drunks and drug addicts who run our city. They feel threatened too. After all we live in Dope Boulder. we live in beer Boulder. so we will just lie about it all and make up some nice story.

"I can Has Cheezburger" loses millions : Jann Scott's Journal
They fired most of their staff. Their CEO Ben Huh said that " we were turning into a money losing mess "and I didn't know what I was doing. Holy shit! This investment darling of 2011 which raised over 30 Million is now completely on the skids. They even raised $5,000,000. from Foundry Group; Boulders wonder boy startup venture capital firm run by Rockn rollers … ah tech stars.
oops…. it just blew up… oh crap we nuked Seattle
In a confession on Back Channel Huh said:
"In a nutshell, we didn't know what we were doing. We had been profitable for years, selling ads, t-shirts, books and even a reality show on Bravo. But having investment money in the bank was new for us. More important, so was the process of transforming ourselves from a team that built and acquired WordPress sites to a company that produced a full-on content platform. We tripled our headcount.
After cashing out our original investors, however, our $30 million had dwindled to just $4 million. That figure is small by venture capital standards, but for a company that was used to duct tape and folding chairs, we felt like we were swimming in cash. We were turning into a confused, money-losing mess."
What is this company ? What do they produce ? What is their financial model ? Believe it or not it is a kitty Kat humor website company who depends on fucking banner ads and T shirt sales to make it. It was a losing idea from the beginning. Memes. really. The entire startup world is caught up in this kind of bullshit and most of them go broke. The only people making money are the founder hustlers and the early stage VCs like Foundry. It is almost like these people plan to fail.
Boulder's unsung hero startup of the 1st decade.
I hate to toot my own horn but I sure as hell know how to turn 30 million dollars into a profitable company and not blow it on dumb shit. Take a company like mine: Channel One Networks llc. We have evolved from cable television programming in the 90s to web based TV and news in the 2000s. We built slowly and surely turning a profit every year while expanding steadily. Now we have a grown to 6,000 TV channels and newspapers with local content and local advertising in every city in the world. We are not a flash in the pan and we don't make Giant company ending mistakes. We compete with Google, Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo and Microsoft. We build and sell our own products . We are not re sellers of somebody elses.. And we know what is King. Advertising and service sales are kings not content. Yes we are changing the way TV and news is delivered locally and we are changing the world.
Who in their right mind would float a company like this, let alone invest in it ?
One of the problems with the entire start-up millennium movement is that they are not business people. Most of them go broke. Most of them have little business or sales training. They do not know how to service customers or produce results for them. They are so caught up with making the scene that their zine meme thing crashes and they wonder .. oh gee what happened. business happened.
I wish some of these incubators and business schools would teach business instead of entrepreneurship. Not everybody can be an entrepreneur. There is great value in being a good solid worker.

Jann Scott's Journal gives a critical look at the world through the wise eyes of Boulders #1 multiculturalist
Jann Scott's Journal: North Korea and China vs USSTRATCOM Joint Electronic Warfare Center's .
North Korea Cyber Attack… this week on Sony is just one of many attacks on the United States over the past 5 years. First there was Wiki leaks by US Army private Bradley Manning and Julian Assang who published sensitive U.S. military and diplomatic documents . Manning is in Prison for 35 years. He also seems to have gone nuts there too… He is now claiming to be a women. Apparently, the pressure was so great " he went Gay " as some of his army buddies claim. Assang is hunted and has a price on his head. He is hiding in the Ecuador Embassy in London. What is up with Ecuador ? Assange is wanted by Sweden for sexual crimes. Both Assange and Manning are darlings of the Hacker community and anarchists. But none the less they are cyber criminals and one could claim terrorists. The world community will now have to look at these two more candidly.
Then there was Edward Snowdon who, while working for the NSA, leaked everything. He then took all the files to all of our adversaries including China, North Korea and Russia. He now lives in Russia and is a pawn in their game against the USA. He too is popular among Millenniums. He is considered a traitor, but the USA has treated him with kid gloves. Yet, he is considered the most damaging hacker to national security. I mean , this guy is the cause of our current cyber war with China and North Korea. How he ever became an American anti-hero is mind boggling.
Next, China led cyber military actions against the USA, and were caught caught red-handed so to speak. They were reprimanded by the USA. China has been notorious in it's attacks. Since America has business relations with china we let it all pass even though China broke into american companies and military installations. What they did was an act of war. Cyberwar.. but war nonetheless.
In this latest attack by North Korea, government officials are telling the NY Times that China led the whole thing. China trained the North Koreans, educated them and set up their Cyber warfare department. North Korea is essentially the bad boy puppet state of China.
So now what ????
Now that cyber hacking warfare is out of the box, where will it all end???? No place good for the future. It could lead to Electronic Warfare or EW involving the use of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) or directed energy (DE) But North Korea is still on paper. They don't have any computers or internet. They use paper file folders. Up until now no nation has launched a cyber attack with devastating consequence. We could do it. We could put bursts out over North Korea and shut down all of their power facilities and destroy all of their electrical power stations. We could do worse to china.
If we start whipping EMS attacks around there will be hell to pay…. But it could be coming. The United States has USSTRATCOM :Joint Electronic Warfare Center which is rearing to go. Nobody is talking about this, but we have sophisticated weapons that can knock the crap out of any country on Earth. So do they.
What a mess

Today saw the unveiling of the two extremely large watercolour paintings for the new NHS Southmead Hospital in Bristol. This £430 million hospital redevelopment project for North Bristol NHS Trust working in conjunction with Carillion, i s due to open fully in 2014.
Joanna was commissioned by Davis&Jones to participate in working with a wide range of people involved with the Southmead Project. This ranged from attending operations to attending construction site meetings. The interaction with all of the different people involved with this huge construction project was to be the inspiration behind the artworks created.
The results were two unique paintings, due to the way that they blend the construction of the human body with the construction of the hospital building. Aptly named Body Builders and A Joint Operation, one uses the building as the backdrop and adds in elements of human anatomy and medical practice; the other takes human anatomy and brings in elements of construction and day to day life of a hospital. See the full review and the two paintings here.

Back in the day, if you took on a project you could really only rely on local buddies to help keep you motivated. Maybe it was family members or close friends, but they had to live nearby in order to help you see a project through. Sure, you could call long-distance pals for a pep talk, but other than that, you were on your own. These days, thanks to the interwebs, people you've never met, and probably never will, are able to provide moral support to help keep you on task.
Such is the case for Cortlandt Manor, New York's Wes Ryan. He used motivation from across the country to get his '91 LX coupe to this point.
"Most car guys have certain vehicles that grab their attention," Wes says. For this NYPD detective, a Fox Mustang will always be that vehicle. His first car at the age of 15 was a red T-top '83 GT, after all. "That was the beginning of this addictive hobby for me," Wes says. Of course, at around 15-16 years old, it's all about having fun. You have life by the tail, you're flying by the seat of your pants. However, soon enough life steps in to spoil the fun, but as Wes accurately points out, being a car guy doesn't ever go away. "It's always inside of you, sometimes dormant, but still there nonetheless," Wes adds.
For Wes, life happened, and Mustangs came and went after the '83, but shortly after marrying his wife Michelle, he waited patiently to revive his inner car guy. Wes stumbled upon a rather fed-up owner after enduring it's last AOD rebuild. The '91 LX coupe was available for just above the price of the transmission rebuild, and $2,800 later a stock, one-owner LX coupe was parked in Wes' garage.
The car started out as a cruiser, transitioned to track duty, and back to cruising. After going through these phases in 10 years of ownership, Wes decided the car needed some attention. "I needed a simple combo with clean body lines and amazing paint I could enjoy with the wife and kids," Wes says. He does mention "life" was well underway at that point so he wanted a car everyone could enjoy. His '01 Bullitt—one of the cars that had entered Wes' life after the '83—had become more race car than street car thanks to a Wolfe Racecraft cage and a YSi-Trim supercharged Two-Valve capable of shaking the neighbor's coffee table. Most of us build a car too far past streetable. We end up selling that car and starting over with a street car. Wes didn't have to do that. He simply had to build the coupe into something his Bullitt had surpassed.
Wes' Project Family Values had some talented champions spurring the effort. Namely Martin Ochs (MartyO) of Mo's Speed Shop, and Derrick Smith of Smith's Paint and Restoration. A plan was hatched, and Wes was to get the wheels in motion by stripping the car to a bare shell in getting it down to Georgia for MartyO and Derrick to take over. Yep, you heard right, Wes lives in New York, while his friends' shops are in Georgia. Wes stripped the car, took it down South, and the Southern hospitality must've had an impact because he's been trying to change his address ever since.
He tasked MartyO with adding tubular subframe connectors, boxed and welded subframe connectors, and a smoothed engine compartment. With those steps complete, the car took the short trip over to Derrick's body shop with Wes' goal of masking its factory white hue in mind. "Derrick went on to prep and spray the complete interior, trunk, and undercarriage before moving on to the exterior panels," Wes explained. The color is PPG Deltron Dark Cherry Pearl, while the undercarriage and floor pans are coated with 3M Body Schutz to maintain a clean look and reduce noise. You know, to help with the car's main function.
The efforts of MartyO and Derrick took a little over a year to complete, and Wes headed south once again to retrieve the coupe. "To say the car came out phenomenally would be a gross understatement," Wes says. "Derrick, who is a true Ford enthusiast, went way beyond my expectations," Wes adds. However, with the car back home he realized how big a project he had on his hands. He looked at this perfect shell of a car with the thought that paying for the body work was the easy part. With any project, though, you need people in your corner to help spur you along. For Wes, those people were MartyO and Greg Pintauro. Wes calls both "encyclopedias of Mustang info," eagerly helping out with daily suggestions and recommendations to keep the car on the right path. It didn't hurt that Wes had been stockpiling parts, either, which kept him busy.
Wes reports now that the car is done, it's a pleasure to drive and really has a great following wherever it goes. We met Wes at the 2012 AmericanMuscle show where it came up empty handed in the car show award department.

Do your kids love rainbows? This rainbow tissue paper craft is definitely perfect for them. Not only is this rainbow kids craft fun and easy to make, but it's super affordable as well. Also, it's the kind of kid's art project that will take a bit of time to make, which makes it an excellent activity for a rainy day.
You can find almost all the supplies that you need for this project at your local Dollar Tree. Sometimes they even carry the canvases. If you don't have a Dollar Tree, consider Walmart. Walmart has a large selection of craft supplies at great prices. Either way, this rainbow tissue paper craft can be made for next to nothing.
Let your kids have fun picking out the shades of colors they want for their rainbows. It's a great way to teach children the colors of the rainbow, but who says they can't use pastel colors or even tissue paper that has glitter on it?
This colored tissue paper craft is so easy that kids of all ages can do it with a little help. Once your kids have made a tissue paper rainbow, think of other shapes they could make using this method. You could make the shapes as intricate as you want, depending on the age of your child. For example, the next project might be a tissue paper hot air balloon.
Even if you don't plan on doing this rainbow tissue paper craft with your kids right away, it's fun to take ideas and create little kits with all the needed supplies. Then, when you do need a rainy-day activity for the kids, you've will have a fun arts and crafts project all ready to go.
With your canvas in a horizontal position, draw a rainbow shape from the bottom of the canvas off to the left and near the middle, all of the way towards the top right corner and running off the canvas. This will create the look of a rainbow running off of the canvas. This is just a rough guide and will be covered up with tissue paper, so do not worry if your lines are not perfect. You can view the photo for reference on how to create this shape.
Tear small strips of tissue paper and roll them into balls in the palm of your hand. Do this with one color at a time.
Use white school glue to create a thin line of glue on the outside edge of the rainbow shape you have drawn.
Press a single color of tissue paper balls in a row on the line of glue you just put down on your canvas.
Repeat steps 2-4 with the remaining colors of tissue paper, until you have filled in the entire rainbow shape you had drawn on your canvas.
Gently stretch out a few cotton balls to form puffy clouds.
Use glue to attach these cotton ball clouds to the bottom of your canvas where the rainbow shape starts.
This is a really cute idea, and one that I don't mind hanging on the refrigerator!
Thanks for the awesome rainbow tissue paper craft.
really cool idea, bet my son would love to do this craft. thanks for sharing.
This looks like so much fun! Thank you for sharing!

Herbert F. STEIGLER, Appellant,
Raymond W. ANDERSON, Warden, Delaware Correctional
Institution, Appellee.
United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.
Argued Jan. 9, 1974.
Decided April 18, 1974.
William E. Taylor, Jr., Henry A. Heiman, Steven R. Karlsen, Wilmington, Del., for appellant.
Jerome O. Herlihy, Chief Deputy Atty. Gen., Richard R. Wier, Jr., State Prosecutor, Wilmington, Del., for appellee.
Before ADAMS, HUNTER and WEIS, Circuit Judges.
JAMES HUNTER, III, Circuit Judge:
Appellant Herbert F. Steigler was convicted in the Superior Court of Delaware on three counts of first degree murder and one count of assault with intent to commit murder in connection with a fire in the home of appellant on October 19, 1968. On appeal, the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the conviction. Steigler v. State, 277 A.2d 662 (1971). Appellant filed a petition for a writ of certiorari, and in a brief order, the Supreme Court vacated appellant's death penalty. Steigler v. Delaware, 408 U.S. 939, 92 S.Ct. 2872, 33 L.Ed.2d 760, citing Stewart v. Massachusetts, 408 U.S. 845, 92 S.Ct. 2845, 33 L.Ed.2d 744 (1972). Proceeding in forma pauperis, appellant petitioned the United States District Court for the District of Delaware for a writ of habeas corpus. The district court denied the petition and we affirm, 360 F.Supp. 1286.
In the early morning hours of October 19, 1968, fire erupted at appellant's home in Deerhurst, New Castle County, Delaware. Appellant's wife summoned the aid of a nearby fire company which responded promptly and brought the fire under control, but not before appellant's daughter, mother-in-law and father-in-law had died. During the course of extinguishing the blaze, attempting to rescue persons trapped in the house, securing the premises and investigating for the causes of the fire, various firemen, including Deputy Fire Marshall Richard Lynch, discovered several items of physical evidence of arson. Openly situated throughout the house were numerous glass containers, some broken and some filled with gasoline. Sections of the rug upon which several of the containers had been placed were soaked with gasoline. Surmising from this and other evidence that the fire was the result of arson, and having assisted in removing at least one corpse, Lynch placed a call to the New Castle County Fireboard requesting that the Delaware State Police be dispatched to the scene. Shortly thereafter Sgt. Daniel Bramble of the Delaware State Police and several of his colleagues arrived and, without a warrant, proceeded to remove the physical evidence of arson discovered by Lynch and the various firemen. The police also took pictures of some of this evidence and the surrounding area from which they were removed. These photos and physical evidence were admitted into evidence at trial over appellant's objection. Appellant contends that since the police did not obtain a search warrant, his rights under the fourth amendment were violated and hence the evidence in question was inadmissible.
Sgt. Bramble of the Delaware State Police interviewed appellant on four separate occasions between October 19 (morning of the fire) and October 24, before charging him with arson and murder. On none of these occasions was appellant informed of his Miranda rights, which appellant contends violated his fifth amendment rights.
EVIDENCE SEIZED WITHOUT A SEARCH WARRANT
While searches and seizures must generally be undertaken by state officials only after obtaining a search warrant,1 the Supreme Court has recognized a number of situations in which a warrantless search may be lawful.2 In each of these situations the Supreme Court found exigent circumstances rendering imperative official action without first obtaining a warrant. We believe a similar situation existed in the present case.
Although it is not clear whether appellant concedes this, we think it is beyond question that firemen have a right to enter a premise to suppress a fire without having to obtain a warrant.3 We simply do not think that a 'search' in the fourth amendment sense occurs when firemen enter a burning home to suppress a fire.4 Moreover, seeking out and rescuing trapped occupants, ventilating the building after the fire is brought under control, searching for any smoldering fires and cleaning up prior to departing all involve proper fire fighting functions which cannot reasonably be viewed as searches under the fourth amendment.
In any event, even if such actions of firemen were searches under the fourth amendment, we think no warrant was required since a more exigent circumstance is difficult to imagine.5 We think it readily follows from this that any evidence of arson seen by firemen in plain view while performing these functions may be seized without first obtaining a warrant. See e.g., Coolidge v. New Hampshire, 403 U.S. 443, 464-473, 91 S.Ct. 2022, 29 L.Ed.2d 564 (1971); Harris v. United States, 390 U.S. 234, 236, 88 S.Ct. 992, 19 L.Ed.2d 1067 (1968); Ker v. California, 374 U.S. 23, 42-43, 83 S.Ct. 1623, 10 L.Ed.2d 726 (1963).
Not all of the evidence objected to by appellant, however, was seen by the firemen during the course of rescuing trapped occupants, suppressing the fire and securing the premises. Some of the evidence was found while Lynch conducted his investigation into the cause the fire.6
Although Lynch was authorized by statute to investigate 'the origin or circumstances'7 of any fire in Delaware, we recognize this does not necessarily end our inquiry. Regardless of state authority, the acts of state officials are judged by federal standards when fourth amendment violations are claimed. E.g., Elkins v. United States, 364 U.S. 206, 223, 80 S.Ct. 1437, 4 L.Ed.2d 1669 (1960). Thus, even though Lynch had authority under state law to investigate the cause of the fire, the question remains whether the fourth amendment required that he first obtain a search warrant.
Appellant relies heavily on the companion cases of Camara v. Municipal Court, 387 U.S. 523, 87 S.Ct. 1727, 18 L.Ed.2d 930 (1967) and See v. Seattle, 387 U.S. 541, 87 S.Ct. 1737, 18 L.Ed.2d 943 (1967), in which the Supreme Court held that the fourth amendment forbids warrantless area inspections for violations of municipal housing and business code provisions. We are not faced, however, with the situation of a fire marshall inspecting a home for violations of fire code provisions. Nor are we faced with the situation (and therefore we express no opinion as to the validity) of a fire marshall investigating, without a warrant, the cause of a fire several hours or days after the fire.8
The present situation is markedly different. Here there was an emergency situation which Camara explicitly exempted assurance that they would not be required Unlike Camara, there was a 'compelling urgency (for Lynch) to inspect at a particular time (and) on a particular day.'10 The need to investigate promptly for the cause of the fire is very much interrelated with the necessity of suppressing the blaze. The rationale for dispensing with a warrant in such situations has been cogently summarized by the Fifth Circuit in United States v. Green:
'Unlike the area inspection, which does not focus on a particular premises and is conducted without reference to knowledge of a fire hazard at a given location, the investigation of an actual fire is logically and factually inseparable from the fireman's job of suppressing the blaze. The ordinary fireman is not an expert in the cause of fires. He cannot determine, after he douses the blaze, whether the danger is past or merely hidden, awaiting only a fresh supply of oxygen to set it off again with perhaps disastrous results.
'A fire might have been caused by any of a myriad of conditions that would not be terminated by simply putting out the flame-- e.g., a faulty appliance, defective or worn out electrical wiring, or careless storage of flammable materials. Where the existence of a gravely dangerous condition has already manifested itself in one fire, it would be the height of folly for the firemen to enter, suppress the flames, and leave the premises without assurance that they would not required to return, perhaps within minutes, to do it all again.
'Critical to the Supreme Court's imposition of the warrant requirement in Camara and in See was the recognition that there is nothing in the nature of a routine area inspection that requires immediate entry into a particular structure in the area at a specific time. There is, however, such a necessity in the case of a fire. Until someone expert in the cause of fires arrives, inspects the scene, and determines that the fire has been completely extinguished, the firemen cannot reasonably depart. The imposition of a warrant requirement in such circumstances would immobilize the entire apparatus of fire protection. The absurdity of requiring the fire investigator to secure a warrant in order to search for the fire's cause is self evident.'11
We fully agree,12 and thus conclude that Lynch's warrantless investigation during and immediately following the suppression of the fire was reasonable and justified by exigent circumstances.13
Appellant nonetheless argues that Sgt. Bramble and the other police officers were required to obtain a warrant prior to seizing and removing the containers and other items discovered by Lynch and the other firemen. We do not agree. The purpose of the warrant requirement is to insure prior judicial authorization of intrusions into areas in which a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy.14 When Lynch proceeded to investigate the cause of the fire he was clothed with a law enforcement function similar to police,15 and correspondingly, his actions were subjected to the restraints of the fourth amendment. But having determined that Lynch's warrantless discovery of evidence of arson was justified and valid under the fourth amendment, we think no greater invasion of privacy resulted when officers from another law enforcement agency (Bramble and the other policemen) subsequently entered and removed the evidence.16 To require the police in such a situation to first obtain a warrant would be senseless, since it would further no recognizable fourth amendment interest. Appellant no longer had any reasonable expectation of privacy in the items discovered by Lynch during his investigation.17
FAILURE TO GIVE MIRANDA WARINGS
The question of when police are required to give Miranda warnings has been the source of much litigation and, as this Court has noted, must be approached on a case-by-case basis.18 Miranda created a presumption of coercion whenever a defendant's statement is obtained through interrogation initiated by police after the defendant 'has been taken into custody or otherwise deprived of his freedom in any significant way.'19 This presumption of coercion is rebuttable by a showing that the defendant was given Miranda warnings and then waived his right to remain silent.20 Since appellant was not given Miranda warnings prior to each of the four 'interrogations' in question,21 the statements made by appellant on these occasions are inadmissible as evidence if they were the product of 'custodial interrogation.'
This Court and other circuits have held that Miranda abandoned the 'focus' theory22 in favor of the more objective test of whether the 'government has in some meaningful way imposed restraint on (a person's) freedom of action.'23 In the absence of such restraint there simply does not exist the inherent pressures which Miranda warnings were intended to neutralize.24
Applying this test of whether there has been significant restraint on freedom of action, the Supreme Court, in Orozco v. Texas, 394 U.S. 324, 89 S.Ct. 1095, 22 L.Ed.2d 311 (1969), erased any doubt that custodial interrogation may occur outside the police station.25 Equally beyond doubt is that custodial interrogation does not necessarily ensue merely because police questioning occurred at a police station.26 (At least two of the police interviews at issue here took place in a police station.) We emphasize, however, that all 'stationhouse' interrogations should be scrutinized with extreme care for any taint of psychological compulsion or intimidation because such pressure is most apt to exist while a defendant is interviewed at a police station.
We recognize, of course, what this Court has perceived before: that 'an exact definition for 'custodial interrogation' is, by its nature, an impossibility.'27 The Second Circuit, though, has perceptively analyzed the factors which must be considered in determining whether there has been a custodial interrogation:
'Clearly the (Supreme) Court meant that something more than official interrogation must be shown. It is hard to suppose that suspicion alone was thought to constitute that something; almost all official interrogation of persons who later become criminal defendants stems from that very source. While the Court's language in Miranda was imprecise, doubtless deliberately so, it conveys a flavor of some affirmative action by the authorities other than police interrogation. This view is strengthened by the passage28 at 384 U.S. 478, 86 S.Ct. 1630, where the Chief Justice, after referring to 'the compelling atmosphere inherent in the process of in-custody interrogation' and just before a second and slightly altered affirmation of the test, inserted a footnote reading: '46 The distinction and its significance has been aptly described in the opinion of a Scottish court: 'In former times such questioning, if undertaken, would be conducted by police officers visiting the house or place of business of the suspect and there questioning him, probably in the presence of a relation or friend. However convenient the modern practice (of interrogation at the police station) may be, it must normally create a situation very unfavourable to the suspect.' Chalmers v. H. M. Advocate (1954), Sess.Cas. 66, 78 (J.C.). 'Even without the light of Orozco we would not have thought this to mean that questioning in the home could never come within the mandate of Miranda; we do think it suggests that in the absence of actual arrest something must be said or done by the authorities, either in their manner of approach or in the tone or extent of their questioning, which indicates that they would not have heeded a request to depart or to allow the suspect to do so. This is not to say that the amount of information possessed by the police, and the consequent actity of their 'focus,' is irrelevant. The more cause for believing the suspect committed the crime, the greater the tendency to bear down in interrogation and to create the kind of atmosphere of significant restraint that triggers Miranda, and vice versa. But this is simply one circumstance, to be weighed with all the others.'29
With these principles in mind, we have reviewed the record and, after considering appellant's contentions, conclude that the district court committed no error in holding that none of the four interviews in question involved a custodial interrogation. The district court, after thorough consideration of all the facts, found as follows:
'(1) There was a complete absence of restraint of petitioner's liberty; for instance, on October 24th, Bramble spoke with him briefly at his (petitioner's) office;
'(2) The interrogations were routine and courteous in character;
'(3) There is no evidence that the investigation had 'focused' on petitioner. The evidence that police were quietly 'shadowing' the petitioner's family against the possibility of harm at the funeral is significant in that respect. Moreover, other suspects and persons were being interviewed and the physical evidence had not been returned by the F.B.I. Thus, the progress of the investigation was not in any final stage;
'(4) Petitioner was a young and intelligent man, a college graduate and not to be easily cowed or intimidated by police presence;
'(5) The times of the interrogations seemed to be reasonable, subject to petitioner's convenience and not unduly prolonged.' 360 F.Supp. at 1291.
In these circumstances, Miranda warnings were not required.
Lastly, appellant argues that his conviction was based, at least in part, on perjured police testimony which renders his conviction void. We find no merit in this contention. The district court did not err in finding that appellant had failed to show that perjury had been committed and hence, that he had been deprived of due process.
The order of the district court of July 3, 1973, will be affirmed.

See Wyman v. James, 400 U.S. 309, 91 S.Ct. 381, 27 L.Ed.2d 408 (1971)
See Camara v. Municipal Court, 387 U.S. at 539, 87 S.Ct. 1727, citing North American Cold Storage Co. v.

Appellant has quite properly not challenged on this appeal the finding of the district court that nothing significant was removed by the police other than what had already been noticed by the various firemen and Lynch. 360 F.Supp. at 1295. A container found by the police in a neighbor's yard was admitted into evidence, but appellant has no standing to raise a fourth amendment claim with respect to that item. See e.g., Jones v. United States, 362 U.S. 257, 80 S.Ct. 725, 4 L.Ed.2d 697 (1960). Although it is not entirely clear from the record, the police may have seized three items which had not been previously noticed by the firemen of Lynch. Even assuming arguendo that these items-- a container in the garage, a screen through which Mrs. Steigler escaped and four burnt matches-- were impermissibly seized without a warrant, their admission into evidence, as implicitly suggested by the district court, was clearly harmless beyond a reasonable doubt
The Delaware Fire Marshal Statute, Del. Code 6607, provides inter alia,
'(a) The State Fire Marshal, or his Deputy or Deputies, shall enforce all laws and ordinances of the State and the several counties, cities, and political subdivisions thereof having to do with:
'(5) The suppression of arson. . . . The State Fire Marshal, or his Deputy or Deputies, may at any time investigate as to the origin or circumstances of any fire or explosion occurring in the State, and may at all reasonable hours enter any building or premises within his jurisdiction for the purpose of making an inspection or investigation, which, under the provisions of this chapter, he may deem necessary to be made.'

Additionally, much of the evidence was highly flammable (e.g., containers filled with gasoline and rugs soaked with gasoline) rendering it imperative that they be seized and removed. Cf. United States v. Rubin, 474 F.2d 262 (3d Cir. 1973)
Appellant raises a question as to the constitutionality of the Delaware Fire Marshal Statute. Note 7 supra. In essence, though, his contention is that the statute cannot be constitutionally valid if it authorized Lynch to conduct a warrantless investigation in violation of the fourth amendment. Since we hold that Lynch's action did not violate the fourth amendment, appellant's contention as to the constitutionality of the fire marshal statute must likewise fall

Orozco involved a custodial interrogation in petitioner's home.

This view is also strengthened by the Supreme Court's repeated characterizations of the cases before it in Miranda.
