FAQ: Brushy Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility
The City of Bryan is planning to build a new wastewater facility on the east side of Brazos County to support growth and development. After evaluating several sites and considering the floodplain and available utilities, the city purchased a site on Cole Lane. While the permit is for a maximum of 12 million gallons per day, the city expects to build a plant with one-third to one-half of the permit capacity as the first phase. The plant would not be operational before 2027.
The City of Bryan operates three (3) activated sludge plants to treat our community's wastewater. The city is divided into three sewer basins based on the service area for each treatment plant.
Activated sludge treatment is an aerobic (oxygen dependent) process that uses millions of microorganisms to remove waste materials from the water. There are two basic stages in the treatment of wastewater: the primary stage, in which most solids are removed, and the secondary stage, which removes organic materials and nutrients.
Approximately 60 percent of all solids and organic materials are removed from the wastewater during the initial stage known as primary treatment. As wastewater enters the treatment plant, it flows through a screen to remove large floating objects, such as rags and sticks, which might clog pipes or damage equipment. After the wastewater has been screened, heavier solids are allowed to settle to the bottom of a clarifier and are removed by submerged pumps. The heavier removed solids are combined to form sludge. Lighter solids, such as grease and scum, float to the surface and are skimmed off and placed in a container called a scum box.
With the help of microorganisms, secondary treatment removes about 95% of the organic matter from wastewater. This process begins with water flowing into an aeration basin where induced air keeps the microorganisms and food source in contact. Solids are even further removed from the water through a settling process similar to that used in primary treatment.
During the final stage, known as disinfection or final treatment, chlorine is added to the water to kill any remaining pathogenic bacteria and to reduce odor. Excess chlorine is then removed by adding sulfur dioxide, making the water safe for fish and receiving water bodies. Alternatively, UV (ultraviolet) light can be used in place of chlorine gas and sulfur dioxide gas to achieve disinfection. The clean, safe and treated water is then discharged into the environment. The quality of the water released from the treatment plants is actually cleaner than the existing water in the area creeks.
Sludge and scum removed during the treatment process is further reduced through the process of anaerobic digestion. Mimicking the stomach's digestion process, naturally occurring microorganisms work to break down sludge and scum into biosolids. Excess water is removed from the biosolids, or treated sludge, by a belt press or gravity filter and are eventually sent to the BVSWMA Compost Facility to produce high quality compost.
On average, the City of Bryan composts 1,600 dry tons of sludge from its wastewater treatment plants at the BVSWMA Compost Facility. This action saves valued disposal space in our region's landfill while producing a valuable reuse product, which makes the City of Bryan the biggest recycler by volume within our 7-county region.
Wastewater Laboratory
The Environmental Services Wastewater Laboratory performs analysis required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for each of Bryan's three wastewater treatment plants. The lab is located at the City of Bryan's Thompsons Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant and operates seven days a week.
What Do We Use the Lab Analysis For?The data that is generated is used to determine:
Plant Effluent (Treated Wastewater): Each of Bryan's wastewater treatment plants have a Texas Pollution Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit that requires them to report effluent limits on a monthly basis. The Laboratory tests and reports these numbers for the city's wastewater treatment plants.
Influent Characteristics: It is important to monitor the influent (or wastewater being received) at the treatment plans. If there is a problem due to unusual wastes being discharged into the sewer system, our treatment operators need to know so that proper adjustments can be made within the treatment process to insure that the waste will be properly treated.
Compliance/Public Relations: It is important that each plant meets or exceeds the requirements established within their operating permit. A good set of laboratory records reassures the EPA, TCEQ, and City of Bryan residents that the treatment facilities are doing what is expected.
Hauled Waste Disposal
The City of Bryan's Still Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant is a receiving facility for septic, port-o-can and grease/grit trap waste in Brazos County. Permitted waste haulers may dispose of approved waste Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Please note that access may be denied during times of wet weather or other unforeseen circumstances. For questions regarding access, please call (979) 209-5655.
Still Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant will be closed for disposal on all of the following city recognized holidays:
Waste Transport Permit Requirement
All liquid waste transporters utilizing the Still Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant must be permitted by the City of Bryan's Environmental Compliance Team before disposal privileges will be granted. Under this system, each vehicle used by a company to provide liquid waste hauling service (transport and disposal) within Bryan must have a permit. A copy of each transporter's permit is required to be maintained in the vehicle at all times during the permit term. Disposal privileges will not be granted without proof of permit. Further information on the City's liquid waste transporter permit can be obtained by calling the Environmental Compliance Team at (979) 209-5900.

Grease Trap Program
The City of Bryan maintains 377 miles of sewer line with over 22,000 connections from residential homes within its sewer system. Wastewater from customers travels through the sanitary sewer system to the wastewater treatment plant where it is processed and returned to the environment. Fats and oils from cooking grease are major sources of stoppages within the sewer system because when poured down the drain, these items coat, congeal, and accumulate onto the sewer pipes – causing reduced flows and promoting backups.
Commercial kitchens such as restaurants, schools, churches, and bakeries are required to install a grease trap to pretreat fats, oils, and grease found in their wash water. Commercial kitchens are of concern because of the impact their waste can have on the health of the sewer system if left untreated. These kitchen's activities are monitored by the Environmental Compliance Team to ensure best management practices by the kitchen are being utilized.
Fats, oils, and grease are found in such things as:
Meat Fats
Baking Goods
There are several easy steps that can be taken to promote a healthy sewer system, including but not limited to:
Disposal of table scraps in the garbage.
Use paper towels to wipe dishes, pots, and pans before washing.
Avoid the use of garbage disposals.
Freeze used cooking oils in a spill-proof container and place into your trash cart on your scheduled collection day.
Recycle used cooking oils at the Bryan "Do-It-Yourself" Used Oil Recycling Center: 1111 Waco Street, Monday – Saturday, 8am – 5pm.
By working together to "Prevent the Clog", the City of Bryan, its residents and businesses will benefit from:
Reduced plumbing costs associated with clogs and stoppages in sewer lines.
Reduction of unsightly sanitary sewer overflows attributed to fats, oils, and grease.
Lower sewer rates by prolonging the life of the sanitary sewer by minimizing the need for pipe replacement and repair.
Industrial Pre-Treatment Program
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) requires entities with wastewater treatment capabilities of over 5 million gallons/day to design and implement an Industrial Pretreatment Program (IPP) to protect its wastewater collection and treatment systems, personnel, and the environment.
Program participation is based on an industry's categorical classification and volume of wastewater discharged. The IPP works to ensure that wastewater discharged from qualifying industries meets federal and state wastewater quality standards before it is discharged to the City's wastewater collection and treatment system.
All industries participating in the IPP are required to sample their wastewater on a quarterly and annual basis, perform self-monitoring of their wastewater, and participate in regular inspections performed by City staff.
Surcharge fees are calculated based on the strength of each industry's discharge and the volume of wastewater discharged. Surcharge fees are separate from monthly water and sewer usage fees, and are used to offset operational costs assumed by the City for collection and treatment of industrial wastewater.

Sanitary sewers are designed to carry sewage and are not sized to handle added flows from inflow and infiltration. Inflow and infiltration are terms used to describe how groundwater and rainwater enter the sanitary sewer system. These sources are known as "clear water" to distinguish it from sewage.
As a rain event begins, the sanitary sewer starts to fill with clear water as a result of inflow and infiltration. Once the sanitary sewer system has reached capacity or become overloaded, water will flow backward through the sanitary sewer, flooding households and causing manholes to pop open releasing sewage and potential pathogens into the street and environment.
The City maintains approximately 375 miles of sewer pipe. Stretched end to end, the sanitary sewer would reach from Bryan to New Orleans, Louisiana. The City has implemented proactive approaches to its management and operation of the sewer system to minimize overflow occurrences associated with inflow and infiltration. These approaches include:
Creating a prioritized preventive maintenance and sewer cleaning schedule.
Mapping service history, overflows, and assets into GIS.
Forecasting future repairs and system improvements.
Implementing a scheduled inspection and condition assessment for sewer pipe.
Reaching out to homeowners and businesses through public education.
The City performs routine inspections of the sewer system to identify defects in its system and sewer pipes from private homes and businesses. Typical defects in sewer piping such as cracks, leaking joints, collapsed lines and/or missing cleanout caps, serve as points of entrance for inflow and infiltration.
Property owners will be asked to repair defects identified as a result of sewer inspections. The City's Sewer Lateral Grant Program and Sewer Lateral Assessment Program are simple and convenient ways for Bryan homeowners to offset the cost of repairing or replacing defects in their home's sewer piping.
Contact us to learn more about these programs or actions you can take to prevent inflow and infiltration.
Testing of backflow preventers and fire line backflow preventers in Bryan must be completed by a city-permitted service provider. Water Services' Environmental Compliance Team is responsible for ensuring ordinance requirements for cross-connections and operation, maintenance, and testing for backflow preventers is met.
Backflow preventers installed at a commercial, industrial, or high risk facility are required to be registered with the city; residential installations are exempt from this requirement. Likewise, permit fees are assessed to service providers permitted with the city to perform testing on backflow prevention devices. Fees paid to the city are used to offset costs associated with program management.
Please contact a member of the Environmental Compliance Team at (979) 209-5900 or Email Public Works if you have questions or complaints regarding cross-connections or backflow prevention devices.
What is Cross-Connection?
A cross-connection is any physical arrangement where a public water system, such as the City of Bryan's, is connected directly or indirectly to any other apparatus that may cause any substance other than the City's drinking water to enter the potable water system.
What is Backflow?
Backflow means the flow in the direction opposite to the normal flow or the introduction of any foreign liquids, gases, or substances into the water distribution system. Backflow can occur under any set of hydraulic conditions where the system is not protected by an approved backflow assembly.
It is a logical assumption that because water is always under pressure, it can only flow in one direction. Can it flow in the opposite direction? The answer is yes, and when it does it sometimes can result in a disastrous event. Water will always flow toward the point of lowest pressure. If a main line in our system breaks or if a fire occurs and the fire department opens several hydrants, the pressure in our water mains could drop dramatically, causing a reversal of flow. The potential for this reversal of flow is why your water utility is concerned about the possibility for backflow of contaminates into our water system.
Cross-Connections at Home
Cross-connections and backflows can occur at your home. A garden hose submerged into a hot tub or swimming pool, or inserted into your car's radiator to flush out the antifreeze, or attached to an insecticide sprayer could siphon that material back into our water mains. An underground sprinkler system could cause a problem if the piping used is not drinking water quality, if the water stagnates in the system, or if pesticides or herbicides are used in the irrigation system in any way. Some cross-connections are necessary and cannot be eliminated. Examples include the water line connected to a fire sprinkler system, to a solar heating system, or to many industrial uses.
The Dangers of Cross-Connections and Backflow
Many cross-connection incidents have been documented throughout the country. A high school in Oregon had ethylene glycol antifreeze from an air-conditioner backflow into the water piping sending eight teachers to the hospital. Many incidents have occurred where a car wash cross-connected their plumbing and pumped dirty, soapy water through several city blocks. Although actual backflow incidents are rare, don't allow yourself to become a victim of cross-connections. Prevent backflow from occurring.
Prevention is Key
Fortunately, the remedy to cross-connections and potential cross-connections is simple preventative medicine. You, the home or business owner, may be required to have an approved backflow prevention assembly. For example, homeowners should utilize an assembly when an underground sprinkler system is installed or when a swimming pool is added. Commercial and industrial water users should utilize an assembly when they are using any substance besides drinking water in the plumbing system in any way.
The City of Bryan Water Services will help the water user identify potential cross-connections and suggest ways to eliminate them or recommend the proper backflow prevention measures to ensure the protection of the potable water system.

Q: getActivity().findViewById(R.layout.contacts_list_view) returns null I have seen some similar question about this but it was all for different reasons (I think).
The code I am using is taken from http://developer.android.com/training.
I am trying to build a simple contacts app according to the tutorial:
http://developer.android.com/training/contacts-provider/retrieve-names.html
The part where I am getting the bug is Set up the CursorAdapter for the ListView.
This is my code:
@Override
    public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
        mContactsList = (ListView) getActivity().findViewById(R.layout.contacts_list_view);
        mCursorAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(getActivity(),
                R.layout.contacts_list_item, null, FROM_COLUMNS, TO_COLUMN, 0);
        mContactsList.setAdapter(mCursorAdapter);
        mContactsList.setOnItemClickListener(this);
        getLoaderManager().initLoader(0, null, this);
    }

All the XML files have been put in place:
contact_list_item.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:id="@android:id/text1"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:clickable="true"/>

contact_list_view.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:id="@android:id/list"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

My main activity consists of 2 FrameLayouts for the fragments to be put in. This is it's XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/frag_contacts"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="200dp"
        android:textColor="#0a20a3" >
    </FrameLayout>

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/frag_contact_details"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:textColor="#045011" />

</LinearLayout>

This is the onCreate of the activity:
@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_ninth);
        if (findViewById(R.id.frag_contacts) != null)
        {
            if (savedInstanceState != null)
                return;
            ContactsFragment contactsFrag = new ContactsFragment();
            getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.frag_contacts, contactsFrag).commit();
        }
    }

also, this is the onCreateView of the fragment:
@Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.contacts_list_view, container, false);
    }

Now, sorry for the long post, some of it might be unnecessary, but the problem is that on the first snippet, getActivity().findViewById(R.layout.contacts_list_view) returns null all the time!
Don't know what else to do. how else can I load data into the list, and what is wrong here?
Thanks in advance!

A: Change this
mContactsList = (ListView) getActivity().findViewById(R.layout.contacts_list_view);

to
mContactsList = (ListView) getView().findViewById(R.id.contacts_list_view);

Edit:
<ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:id="@+idlist"

And
 mContactsList = (ListView) getView().findViewById(R.id.list);

A: you have to change
mContactsList = (ListView) getActivity().findViewById(R.layout.contacts_list_view);

with
mContactsList = (ListView) getView().findViewById(R.id.contacts_list_view);

Since the ListView belongs to the View you return inside onCreateView.

A: replace
mContactsList = (ListView) getActivity().findViewById(R.layout.contacts_list_view);

to
mContactsList = (ListView) getView().findViewById(R.id.list);

contact_list_view.xml shoud be change as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:id="**@+id/list**"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

A: If you are trying to do getActivity().findViewById(R.id.contacts_list_view) in onCreateView, it will return null, because the View of Fragment is not created yet. Try to do that in onResume and it will return the view:
@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    mContactsList = (ListView) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.contacts_list_view);
 }

A: You have to wait till the Fragment is attached to the Activity. You can do that onAttach(Activity) in your Fragment class

A: Fragment state will be saved in FragmentActivity, so you should overwrite onSaveInstanceState in your activity.
@Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
    if(outState != null) {
        String FRAGMENTS_TAG = "android:support:fragments";
        outState.remove(FRAGMENTS_TAG);
    }
}

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'convenience store' tag.
I could've added this entry to the end of my previous one on the Maryland Faerie Festival because I found this store just a few miles from the festival fairgrounds in the town of Darlington. But I decided to make it as a separate post instead because seeing this particular store has brought back a bunch of childhood memories for me.
I was born in Baltimore and I lived there until I was five years old because my parents decided that they would rather live in the suburbs. My mother even confessed to me years later that she and my father deliberately picked an area where mass transit was non-existent because she was so desperate to put all forms of city life behind her. So we moved to Glen Burnie where her wish came true because you literally had to get into a car if you wanted to do even something simple like buying a gallon of milk because the stores were at least three miles away from our development.
While I was in elementary school some developer decided to build a small commercial building at the entrance to our development and a local High's Dairy Store opened there. That High's was the only store within a safe walking distance from where I lived. (There were some other stores located further away but it involved walking along the very busy Crain Highway and there were times—mainly rush hour—when you did not dare walk along that road.) Throughout my childhood and teen years (prior to getting a driver's license) I would walk at least 15 minutes whenever I was in the mood for some candy. Sometimes I would walk with a friend or two.
High's was your typical convenience store which sold mostly candy and sodas. It also sold some household items as well (such as toilet paper or aspirin) but they tended to be sold in smaller packages and they were higher priced than buying similar items in a grocery store. But the best feature about Highs was its ice cream, which especially came in handy during the blistering hot summer months. I bought many ice cream cones, popsicles, and ice cream sandwiches from that store.
High's wasn't the kind of store where you could spend a long time leisurely browsing (in fact the store clerks would start getting surly with you if you spent too long browsing the store aisles). It was the kind of store where you went in, grabbed what you needed, paid for it, then leave as soon as possible.
The High's in my neighborhood closed for good after I went to the University of Maryland at College Park. Since then a variety of small businesses (ranging from a beauty salon to a tiny CD music store) have come and gone in High's former location.
In the DC area I knew of two remaining High's Dairy Stores and they were both located in Laurel. One was in the Historic Main Street District and the other was near the intersection of Routes 197 and 198. I would go to one or the other from time to time but not very often. Both of them have since left. One became a 7-Eleven and the other became a family-owned convenience store that isn't affiliated with any major franchise.
So when I decided to leave the Maryland Faerie Festival, I foolishly followed a driver in front of me instead of programming the GPS navigation system in my smartphone so I ended up taking a different route from when I arrived to Camp Ramblewood (where the festival was held). I ultimately ended up on Route 1 so I decided to drive on that street for a while. I was also tired and overheated because the temperature that day was in the low 90's with high humidity to match. I wanted to buy a diet soda so I could have enough caffeine that would keep me awake for the long trip home.
My wishes were answered when I was in the main area of Darlington and I found a High's Dairy Store. I was surprised to find one because all the other High's I was familiar with had either closed or been converted to other convenience stores unaffiliated with High's. (In fact, according to the Wikipedia, High's once had locations in DC and Virginia as well as Maryland and it had expanded to 350 stores. Since the 1980's, it has shrunk down to just 50 locations in Maryland and Delaware.) I felt like I had encountered something from my childhood. I decided to take a couple of photos of that store for posterity since I don't know when I'll encounter another High's Dairy Store. The next photo shows the front of the store, which was typical for a High's Dairy Store.
This particular High's location happened to sell gasoline, which made this one different from the other High's I was familiar with (which were just convenience stores only).
I took just a couple of indoor shots. Basically the High's was just as I remembered it where it was a small store that had mostly candy, snacks, ice cream, sodas, and small household items. This High's was slightly bigger than the High's I grew up with in Glen Burnie but it's still not the kind of store that's made for long leisurely browsing.
After I took that last shot, the store clerk yelled "Are you taking pictures?" at me. I put the smartphone back in my shorts pocket while the store clerk was busy with another customer.
I basically picked up a Diet Pepsi for myself, paid for it, then left. The clerk didn't ask me any questions about my picture taking and I didn't offer any information. I decided to just get out of there quickly then make the long drive back to my home near Washington, DC.

Q: Server calls back client in an asynchrounus mode once the processing is done We have a heavy processing which we decided to put it in an asynchronous mode.
In fact, the client will do a POST request and the server will respond with an Http code OK (200) and the request id (i.e. uuid).
In order to inform the client of the processing status, there are several ways:

*

*A bad solution:  The client does a dirty check by polling on a getStatus() endpoint in order to verify the processing status, so he can retrieve results.

*Nice to have solution: Using a publish/subscribe over an EAI. The client will subscribe to some notification flow type and he will be notified over the EAI by the server once processing is done. However, the EAIs such Apache Camel does more than our need. In fact, Client and server are in the same company, they will communicate using the same protocol basically HTTP, hence, no need for language/protocol transforming.

*A cleaner and light solution (In my point of view):  In addition to the request id rendered after the client POST request, we include a callback endpoint that the client should expose dynamically. This endpoint will be invoked once the heavy processing is done.

Question:

*

*Have you experienced a such requirement? How did you solve it?

*Are there any drawbacks to the third solution? (other than the constraint imposed to the client of being coupled to the server)

Thanks for your tips.


An utterly adorable Prince George stole the show at his little sister Charlotte's christening earlier this month. He was wearing a red Rachel Riley buster suit as he walked alongside his picture perfect family looking cheekily out at the crowds. It wasn't the style or even the colour of his traditional looking outfit that caught our eye but the fact he looked just like his Daddy did almost 30 years previous. George's beautiful buster suit was an almost identical match to the one Prince William had worn when meeting his brother, Prince Harry, for the first time.
This isn't the first time the royal couple have dressed little George like his Daddy. At this years Trooping the Colour he was seen wearing an identical baby outfit to the one worn by Prince William in 1984. Although they've managed to keep the designer of this cute blue suit a secret, if you want a look just like his try this Mini La Mode smocked shortie.
We love this cute nod to his heritage and history, which was your favourite Daddy replica?


The New Orleans City Council's Utility Committee meets this afternoon to consider a resolution authorizing Entergy New Orleans to enter into a contract to purchase power from a new, 550-megawatt natural gas unit that Entergy Louisiana has proposed building at its Ninemile Point plant in Westwego.
If approved by state regulators, construction on the unit is slated for 2012, and it is expected to enter commercial operation by mid-2015.
Entergy New Orleans, which provides electricity on the east bank of Orleans Parish, is expected to receive about 20 percent of the power generated at the facility, while Entergy Gulf States, which serves areas between Baton Rouge and Texas, will receive about 25 percent of the output, Bill Mohl, president and chief executive officer of Entergy New Orleans, said at a press conference at the plant in June.

The Difference Between Association and Correlation
by Karen Grace-Martin 3 Comments
What does it mean for two variables to be correlated?
Is that the same or different than if they're associated or related?
This is the kind of question that can feel silly, but shouldn't. It's just a reflection of the confusing terminology used in statistics. In this case, the technical statistical term looks like, but is not exactly the same as, the way we mean it in everyday English.
In everyday English, correlated, associated, and related all mean the same thing.
The technical meaning of correlation is the strength of association as measured by a correlation coefficient.
While correlation is a technical term, association is not. It simply means the presence of a relationship: certain values of one variable tend to co-occur with certain values of the other variable.
Correlation Coefficients
Correlation coefficients are on a -1 to 1 scale.
On this scale -1 indicates a perfect negative relationship. High values of one variable are associated with low values of the other.
Likewise, a correlation of +1 describes a perfect positive relationship. High values of one variable are associated with high values of the other.
0 indicates no relationship. High values of one variable co-occur as often with high and low values of the other.
There is no independent and no dependent variable in a correlation. It's a bivariate descriptive statistic.
You can make this descriptive statistic into an inferential one. Simply calculate a confidence interval or run a hypothesis test that the population correlation coefficient = 0. But correlations are inherently descriptive and don't require a test.
The most common correlation coefficient is the Pearson correlation coefficient. Often denoted by r, it measures the strength of a linear relationship in a sample on a standardized scale from -1 to 1.
It is so common that people use it synonymously with correlation.
Pearson's coefficient assumes that both variables are normally distributed. This requires they be truly continuous and unbounded.
But if you're interested in relationships between other variables, don't worry. There are other correlation coefficients that don't require normality of the variables.
Examples include Spearman rank correlation, point-biserial correlation, rank-biserial correlation, tetrachoric, and polychoric correlation.
Association, but not Correlation
There are other measures of association that don't have those exact same properties. They work when one or both of the variables is either ordinal or nominal.
They include measures such as phi, gamma, Kendall's tau-b, Stuart's tau-c, Somer's D, and Cramer's V, among others.
So to summarize, there are many measures of association, and only some of these are correlations. Even so, there isn't always consensus about the meanings of terms in statistics, so it's always a good practice to state the meaning of the terms you're using.

Fulani herdsmen attack Benue community; ...80 killed
It was a bloody Sunday when suspected Fulani herdsmen in the early hours attacked Egba village in Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State, killing over 80 persons and injuring several others including women and children.
It was learnt that the herdsmen who stormed the village at about 4 am killed their victims, most of whom were fast asleep in their homes after which they razed the community, destroying economic trees, food barns and farmlands.
According to a resident, the casualty figure could be higher following the disappearance of many other villagers.
"The search for victims and survivors is still ongoing, but there is no doubt that the figure may rise because the entire village is like a killing field with the stench of blood everywhere and many still missing," he said.
He said that the assailants came from Loko in neighbouring Nasarawa State, and started shooting and breaking into people's houses and hacked down anyone they met including women and children.
"At the moment, we have been able to recover about 80 corpses and many injured. The search is continuing but we are facing a major challenge.
"Many survivors with injuries are being evacuated to hospitals, but the problem is that we do not have a hospital in this area that is big enough to cater for the situation we have at hand at the moment," the resident who preferred not to be named said.

I'm a very happy KryoFlux user. I've been using it for over a year to archive my extensive collection of Apple II floppies, and more recently to archive a large set of 360KB floppies from my MS-DOS days. But I also collect older computers from DEC, including a few PDP-11 systems. These systems include DEC RX50 disk drives.
Here's my problem: I have no RX50 diskettes. No software at all on RX50. But I do have lots of RX50 disk images I'd like to write to real media.
RX50 is a SSQD format: single sided, 80 tracks, 96 TPI, 10 sectors per track, 512 KB per sector, using 250KHz MFM data. The media is actually just DSDD soft sectored diskettes written with 96 TPI stepping.
Right now I'm using PUTR on an old DOS 486 to write images, but I'd love to have the ability to read and write with Kryoflux!
If you can get stream files of those, then you can write them now.
Otherwise, you'll have to use user-defined formats once they are available.

Q: Could currentBackgroundColor become a valid CSS color-value keyword? CSS defines currentColor as a color equivalent to an element's color property. It's similar to a CSS variable, but on a per-element basis. When currentColor is used as a color value in any CSS property, it computes to whatever is the color value for the element to which it is applied.
So, my question is not whether something currentBackgroundColor exists—I have combed through the CSS Color specification and am fairly confident it does not—but whether it could exist.
Borrowing from the currentColor definition, I presume currentBackgroundColor would be defined as something like:

The value of the 'background-color' property. The computed value of the 'currentBackgroundColor' keyword is the computed value of the 'background-color' property. If the 'currentBackgroundColor' keyword is set on the 'background-color' property itself, it is treated as 'background-color: inherit'.

Can anyone point to any implementation issues which I may not be considering?

A: Yes it could. For example, it would make it very easy to create an section of your text inverted-colour, ie you could swap the foreground and background colours to highlight something.
However, suggesting this as a CSS feature would be fighting against the tide. There used to be a whole bunch of CSS colour keywords, for things like the scrollbar colour, and the standard button colour, and the colours of the 3D shadows on the buttons... but they were all dropped from CSS some time ago.
There are lots of things in CSS that could be useful that aren't in there. Personally I'm more excited about CSS variables. When they become mainstream we are unlikely to be too worried about colour keywords like this

A: There are certainly many cases where currentBackgroundColor would be very useful.
Alternative techniques I've used are...

*

*CSS Custom Properties (CSS Variables), eg --backgroundColor.

*Make use of currentColor to set background-color. This approach is only possible on containers (and specific children) that are not using the foreground colour. Child elements can inherit color and set background-color:currentColor.

A:
Can anyone point to any implementation issues which I may not be considering?

Yes. There could be circular dependencies:
* {
  background-color: currentColor;
  color: currentBackgroundColor;
}

Moreover, currentcolor can be useful because text has a single color. But backgrounds can have additional things like background-images and such, which might counterintuitively leave background-color set to the default of transparent. And then currentBackgroundColor  is not much useful.

A: I've had luck using the Canvas system color, which is defined as the "background of application content or documents". Just to be safe, I also set the text color to CanvasColor to ensure I'm not accidentally implementing white-on-white or black-on-black.
However, this will not reflect the page's CSS—even body { background-color:purple; }. All it does is key on the system's configuration. It does seem to match the default "dark mode" coloring scheme, which solves my particular problem.
Example implementation:

p       { padding:1ex; }
.purple { background-color:rebeccapurple; color:#fff; }
.canvas { background-color:Canvas; color:CanvasText; }

  This block is white on purple.
  This sentence uses "Canvas" coloring.
  This sentence does not.

This is normal text.

The Winter Cup of Lonato to be held next 23rd February 2014 is to feature a good number of drivers on track. KZ2 will see 83 drivers at the start, while KF has 59 entered drivers and KF Junior 89. Theprogramme will officially start on Wednesday 19th February with free practice and karts fitting the transponder.
Lonato del Garda (Brescia, Italy). 230 drivers will be taking part in the 19th Winter Cup of Lonato (Brescia, Italy), race scheduled at the South Garda Karting circuit from 21st to 23rd February 2014. The event will see on track the classic three categories KF, KFJ and KZ2 in what is going to be the first important race of the International CIK-FIA calendar.
The first international round of the season started on the right foot and it will not only feature a very good number of drivers on track but thequality of the racers is also going to be very high, as they are all top names at an international level.
The most powerful category, i.e. KZ2 with shift and Bridgestone tyres, will have 83 drivers at the start as several works teams are ready to challenge each other on track. Furthermore, some top drivers took on the challenge ofmaking their debut with new teams such as the world champions Bas Lammers, who moved to Formula K, and Arnaud Kozlinski to Intrepid. Among the top teams, CRG will be present in KZ2 with Jordon Lennox-Lamb, Alex Palou and Fabian Federer, while Davide Forè will be racing with team DTK. Tony Kart will field Marcio Ardigò, Flavio Camponeschi and Andreas Hansen, Art GP will take Ben Hanley on track as well as Mirko Torsellini and the Russian driver Vladislav Kurakin, while Birel will line up Paolo De Conto. Some other important teams will also be present like EnergyCorse, DR, G.P. Racing, Maranello Kart, CRG Holland, PDB, KK1, CKR, AVG, the new French team CPB and Tribe One that will be fielding Alessio Piccini andLuca Corberi at the debut in KZ2. Some other top names will be among the numerous private drivers, such as Marcel Mueller, Luca Tilloca, Loris Spinelli, Andrea Dalè and many more.
In KF - category equipped with Bridgestone tyres - 59 drivers are set tomake it to the start. The Swedish team Ward Racing and the British Ricky Flynn will be among the top teams as the latter will have the European Champion Lando Norris among its ranks. A good number of teams will also be present such as Tony Kart, Kosmic, CRG, Birel, Energy Corse, Art GP, DR, CRG, Forza Racing, VDK,Kartronix, Komarov, Gandolfi and many more. The two main KF Junior title contenders moved to the higher category will be of the starting lot too, as the 2013 World Champion Alessio Lorandi will wear Baby Race's colors and the vice-champion Leonardo Pulcini will get on track with team Morsicani Racing.
KF Junior - on Vega tyres - will be once again the most crowded category as it will have 89 young promises of international karting on track. Ward Racing will line up a high number of drivers such as the Russian Alexander Vartanyan and the American Logan Sargeant. Very good potential also for Max Fewtrell who will be racing withRicky Flynn, Eliseo Martinez and Archie Tillett with CRG, the Polish sisters Julia and Wictoria Pankiewicz -- both coming from the Academy Trophy -- will compete on the karts run by Forza Racing. Daniel Ticktum and Luca Legeret will get on track with Zanardi Strakka Racing, James Pull with Tony Kart, while Baby Race will field an army of drivers among which Giuliano Alesi -- son of F1 champion Jean Alesi -- who is at his second year of activity. Several otherdrivers can also aim to the victory which calls for a spectacular race all the way to the end.
The official programme of the event is going to start on Wednesday 19th February with free practice and timing service through transponders. Another free practice session will take place on Thursday 20th February, while on Friday practice will be followed by qualifying and heats. Some more heats will take place on Saturday. Repechage races, Prefinals and Finals will end the event on Sunday 22 February.

We are in the midst of a nationwide addiction crisis. Overdose deaths now kill more Americans than car accidents, and the fatality rates continue to rise. The toll on Ohio has been particularly devastating, with heroin and opioid overdoses claiming more than 40 Ohioans every week. Addiction does not discriminate between rich or poor, young or old, Republican or Democrat. The heroin and prescription opioid epidemic is a threat to our families and our communities, and we must all work together if we are to solve it.
Tim has led the fight to raise awareness and find community-led solutions to this crisis. He serves as the co-chair of the Congressional Addiction, Treatment, and Recovery Caucus and a member of the Bipartisan Task Force to Combat the Heroin Epidemic. Through these bipartisan partnerships, Tim has introduced, cosponsored, and passed bipartisan legislation to combat the crisis.
Taking Action on Addiction
In 2016, the President signed Tim's Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act into law. This bipartisan law increases education and prevention efforts, empowers law enforcement to prevent overdose deaths, and helps Americans struggling with addiction get the treatment they need to get their lives back on track.
The President also signed into law the 21st Century Cures Act, a bill Tim cosponsored, which provides $1 billion in emergency funding to combat the opioid epidemic.
Tim joined Rep. Marcia Fudge in introducing the Breaking Addiction Act, which paves the way for community mental health treatment centers to lead the fight against heroin and prescription opioid abuse.
Tim also cosponsored the bipartisan Protecting Our Infants Act, which became law in 2016. This law takes important steps to help hospitals treat babies born with exposure to opioids.
Together we can end the Heroin and Opioid Crisis

How many Atheists have given or received Christmas gifts today? Merry Christmas for the year 12,016!
It is safe to say that with the commercialisation and monopolization of Christmas, the majority of atheists or non believers partook in the Christmas celebration in some form or another. The need to believe in something is a basic fundamental human function and trying to pretend you believe in nothing is like saying you do not have..

Iowa teens plead not guilty to teacher's death
Two southeast Iowa teenagers charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the death of their high school Spanish teacher pleaded not guilty in arraignment documents filed Monday.
Willard Noble Chaiden Miller and Jeremy Everett Goodale, both 16, are accused of killing Nohema Graber in Fairfield. Graber, 66, was reported missing Nov. 2 and her remains were found later that day at a Fairfield park where she was known to take daily walks. Earlier court filings stated that Graber suffered "inflicted trauma to the head."
Miller and Goodale waived their right to a speedy trial, which means prosecutors are not required to try them within 90 days of formal charges being filed Nov. 12. Both said they are being held in juvenile detention facilities.
JURY SELECTED FOR GHISLAINE MAXWELL'S TRIAL
Jefferson County authorities say Willard Noble Chaiden Miller (center) and Jeremy Everett Goodale (left) are charged as adults with first-degree homicide and conspiracy to commit first-degree homicide in the death of 66-year-old Nohema Graber (right).

Last week, lawyers for the teens asked a state court judge to lower their bond so they could be released to the supervision of their parents, but prosecutors resisted and said the bonds should be maintained at $1 million or even raised to $2 million.
Assistant Iowa Attorney General Scott Brown said the "extremely brutal murder of an innocent person" justifies keeping them in custody.
The attorneys for Miller and Goodale argued for home confinement and other monitoring, saying they had no ability to flee prosecution. Miller's attorney Christine Branstad said research shows detaining juveniles away from family for prolonged periods before trial can have a detrimental effect on them and stunt their development.
Judge Joel Yates indicated he would reach a decision this week.

The Cornell Wind Symphony performed this past Sunday in Bailey Hall at 3pm; the concert centered around Charles Ives' "Variations on America." I sat down with conductor James Spinazzola to talk about the repertoire for this performance.
Spinazzola originally intended Ives' work to be the standalone centerpiece of the upcoming performance, but that all changed over the past summer when he came across music written by former Cornell faculty member David Borden in the 1960s.
David Borden is a groundbreaking composer and a pioneer of electroacoustic music who founded and directed the Digital Music Program (now the Cornell Electroacoustic Music Center) until his retirement as Senior Lecturer in 2005. Borden's variations on Ives' variations are, according to Spinazzola, the composer's way of commenting on the tumultuous years of the late 1960s. Spinazzola said he feels that the socio-political parallels between Borden's day and now are extremely uncanny, and how tragically thought-provoking this historical awareness is.
We also spoke about the recent violence in Collegetown, and how Cornell students' response mirrors events of the 1960s, specifically in reference to the Willard Straight Hall Takeover. Spinazzola then went on to talk about a violent protest against famed Austrian violinist Fritz Kreisler outside of his performance at Bailey Hall in 1917. He described rioting and an official call to boycott the performance from the mayor of Ithaca, with some protesters going so far as to cut the power to Bailey hall mid-performance.
The Wind Symphony performs next on Friday, November 17 at 8pm in Bailey Hall. The concert is a collaboration with the Cornell Klezmer Ensemble and will feature a dance lesson at 7pm. The concert and dance lesson are free and open to the public.

In 1881, or over the past 130 years, Nippon Paint was established in Japan with a commitment to continuously inventing and developing state-of-the-art paint system that brings best-in-class quality, service and environmental contribution. From that they forward, the name Nippon Paint has rapidly grown and gained worldwide recognition as the largest paint manufacturer in Japan, offering a vast array of products that meet the needs of users in diverse fields – without inattention to environmental protection.
Nippon Paint has always strived to extend strong growth. In 1961, Nippon Paint in joint venture with Wuthelam Holdings Pte Ltd of Singapore established Nippon Paint Southeast Asia, also known as NIPSEA Group, which currently has a powerful business presence in 11 markets across Asia including China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand. The joint venture's mission is to facilitate technology transfer and strengthen advanced manufacturing practices as well as quickly respond to today's user requirements and preferences.
Founded in 1967, Nippon Paint (Thailand) Co., Ltd. has integrated more than 40 years of experience in advanced paint technology, through generous support of its parent company in Japan, with insightful understanding of the Thai market environment. As a result, Nippon Paint branded products have increasingly gained acceptance in diverse industries and for a wide spectrum of applications: from construction-use paints for residential and industrial buildings as well as gigantic structures to automotive and electronic uses.
Especially in Thailand's automotive segment, products within the Nippon Paint Automotive family have been widely respected for their superb quality and dependability, and become very successful in the automotive coatings industry. Furthermore, Nippon Paint Automotive has grown to be a leading original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, supplying a complete range of automotive coatings to several car assembly plants.
With the help of advanced, computerised colour matching technology, colour related data can be integrated and processed quickly and precisely.
Nippon Paint has never ceased to invent and develop advanced technology that allows us to create automotive coatings of the highest quality to meet the needs of all users. Our expertise covers everything from the development of paint system that is resistant to electromagnetic induction to the revolution of Cathodic Electrodeposition (CED) that acts as high-performance anti-rust primer and also works effectively as an anti-corrosion agent.
Recently, Nippon Paint was the first and only paint manufacturer who has greatly advanced in auto-spray (robot) machine. Part of this is the innovative "three-wet paint technology" that enables effective consolidation of painting activities without the need to wait for drying of previously painted layers. This environmentally responsible technique is widely used by leading car assemblers like Toyota, Ford and Mazda as they want to ensure that the coating process is of the same quality as Nax Premila 2K, the leader in 2K paint formulation system.
At Nippon Paint, excellent colour durability is valued. That's why we adopted Nax Premila 2K, one of the world's most respected 2K paint formulation systems. It offers high-quality automotive coating solution with ultra-high pigments, and is also easy to use and fast drying, giving high-gloss finish and unmatched durability. And with a variety of primary colours to choose from and adaptability, Nippon Paint Nax Premila 2K has rapidly become one of Asia's most favorite automotive coating systems to date.
Contributing to environmental protection for a more sustainable world is also an essential part of Nippon Paint's existence. We are proud of our eco-friendly Nax O-de Base product family, which provides users with the next-generation water-based paint system, the first of its kind that combines cutting-edge coating technology with "e-cube" technology, allowing for quick and easy colour matching and refinishing.
With three core elements working together for optimum performance, the o-de base system also helps reduce VOC emissions drastically, making it one of the world's most acclaimed water-based paint systems.

The now 33-year-old singer and actress of American Idol and Dreamgirls fame said she always struggled with her weight while growing up. Her personal life is sadly a roller coaster of tragic events that left her emotionally scarred, as her mother, brother and 7-year old nephew were gunned down in a domestic shooting by Jennifer's brother-in-law.
In his first major role as serial killer Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, Bale thoroughly studied the novel that the movie was based on, where the character was described as having an "Olympian physique", which he achieved in a spectacularly short time frame. You'd think if you worked so hard on reaching that kind of body you'd look for roles fitting for his fitness level, but Bale, always on the prowl for a challenge, took up the role of Trevor Reznik in The Machinist, where he had to achieve a skeletal figure and lost an incredible 63 pounds. Granted, that's an unhealthy amount of lost weight (especially since most was muscle mass), but you have to admire Bale's dedication. And to top it off, as soon as he finished shooting for The Machinist he was cast to play as Batman and bulked up again almost to his initial weight in just 6 weeks by going on a full "eat-whatever-I-find" diet!
Oprah Winfrey is without a doubt the most powerful woman in the World but the queen of daytime television has had to struggle with her weight since her younger years. The 61-year old media powerhouse has repeatedly opened up on her shows about her journey to lose weight and the emotional rollercoaster it had been. In 2005, when she managed to reach an astonishing 160-pound toned body with the help ofpersonal trainer Bob Greene and disciplined dieting habits she felt like she was on top of the World: "I was so happy with myself, I would even say I was probably cocky about it", Oprah reflects. However, emotional and medical issues made her gradually gain some more pounds in the following years, reaching the 200 mark again.
She seems to be on the winning side of the battle with those extra pounds again, as she managed to slim herself down to 169 pounds again, by means of a lifestyle change that involved focusing on three major aspects: eat well, sleep well, exercise often.
Daughter of Black Sabbath "father of heavy metal" Ozzy Osbourne, Kelly rose to fame through the reality show "The Osbournes" and presenting E!'s Fashion Police until 2015. Filming for The Osbournes, which started in 2002, has been stressful for the then-seventeen Kelly, with the newly found celebrity status and having a camera crew in the family's house for months at a time, driving her to a wild lifestyle and drug addictions.
Managing to overcome her problems and bring some much-needed focus in her life, Kelly made it one of her primary goals to lose weight. She was never a skinny kid, so her ambition often came from being bullied and called fat, which drove her to put in a lot of hard work to lose an incredible 70 pounds in the last few years.
"I eat my fattiest meal in the A.M. If I'm craving pizza, I'll have it for breakfast, salad for lunch and oatmeal for dinner".
Jurrasic Park and Guardians of the Galaxy superstar Chris Pratt never had any serious weight problems until 2013, when he says he put around 25 pounds as sympathy weight for his wife who was pregnant at the time. That started a downwards spiral that led him to gain 60 pounds in the following years, without him consciously thinking or caring about his weight. That is, until, at his peak of roughly 290 pounds, Pratt told "Men's Health" in an interview he started feeling fatigued and emotionally depressed. In another interview with GQ, he said "My bones ached when I was fat. I was unhealthy. I was feeling rotten. I didn't feel too great about who I was".
Thankfully, when Marvel was just starting the casting process for Guardians of the Galaxy, Pratt decided he'd do anything for the part and challenged himself to get in 6-pack shape before shooting started. Fast forward 6 months later and a new, ripped Chris Pratt rattled the Internet when he posted this Instagram selfie.
He managed to shed 80 pounds and according to Pratt, there was no real "secret" other than consistent hard work: 3-4 hours each day, split into two training sessions of either weightlifting, running, swimming, boxing, kickboxing, CrossFit HIIT workouts or P90Xs.
You may think "sure, but these guys have a lot of help from professional dieticians and trainers and their job relies on them looking perfect!" and you might be right in some sense. But remember, actors are incredibly busy people and even with all the help in the world, dieting and exercising properly on a full and chaotic schedule of traveling to filming locations, meeting managers, fans and executives or honoring invitations to shows is a daunting task. So having no time, or a hectic schedule should not be an excuse to follow your fitness goals!


Future Farm Maine also has acquired 120 acres of farmland in Aroostook County.
BELFAST — A large industrial hemp growing and processing facility could be up and running on Route 1 by the summer.
Future Farm Maine LLC has applied to the city for a change of use permit at 248 Northport Ave. that would allow the company to propagate and process industrial hemp. The building was previously used by tensioned-fabric canopy maker Moss Inc. and Coastal Farms Food Processing. More recently, it has been home to blueberry processor Midcoast Frozen.
City Planner Wayne Marshall said the type of use proposed by Future Farm is similar enough to other businesses that have occupied the space to bypass a review by the planning board even though it is a relatively large operation and a new industry for Belfast.
"We're viewing it as being a change of one industrial use to another industrial use," Marshall said. The matter falls under the jurisdiction of the city's code enforcement officer.
Future Farm Maine, a subsidiary of Canada-based Future Farm Technologies, signed a two-year lease for 12,960 square feet in a 60,000-square-foot building in Maine, with an option to buy, according to a Jan. 30 announcement on the company's website that didn't specify the site. However, the company touted the advantages of the building, including high ceilings for vertical growing and a turnkey commercial kitchen, details that match the proposal Future Farm Maine recently submitted to the Belfast Planning Office.
A representative connected to the application submitted to the city did not respond Wednesday to an email seeking more information about the Belfast facility.
Future Farm Maine plans to use the Belfast building for the beginning and end of the industrial hemp production cycles. The company hopes to propagate 250,000 seeds under LED lights, growing them into 6-inch seedlings over a period of several months. The seedlings would be moved by tractor-trailer to a licensed industrial hemp farm elsewhere in Maine for the summer to be raised into mature plants, cut and dried. The dried plants then would be returned to the Belfast facility to be processed and refined to extract cannabidiol, or CBD, oil and high-value isolate for making edibles, creams and lotions.
The company previously acquired a 120-acre industrial hemp farm and signed a lease for 100 acres with an option to lease up to an additional 1,000 acres of farmland in Maine, the January announcement said.
Future Farm Technologies has projects throughout North America, including California, Florida and Maryland. The company's business model, according to its website, is based on indoor growing of various types of plants, with a focus on cannabis.
Industrial hemp is bred to have very little THC, the psychoactive ingredient that gives users of marijuana, hemp's cousin in the cannabis family, a high. Future Farm Technologies anticipates the plants grown in Belfast facility would have .03-percent THC or less; marijuana used for medicinal or recreational purposes typically has between 10 and 100 times that amount.
The industrial hemp plants, however, will have higher-than-normal amounts of CBD oil, which is used to treat medical conditions including inflammation and anxiety.
In its January announcement, Future Farm Technologies said the market for CBD is likely to expand following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's acceptance of an application by GW Pharmaceuticals for Epidiolex.
The drug, which contains CBD oil, will be worth $2.2 billion in worldwide sales by 2025, according to three Goldman Sachs analysts cited in the announcement. Another source, Hemp Business Journal, put U.S. sales of CBD at $1.1 billion by 2020.


From Monday 31st October, Steve Hargreaves will be featured on the Careers Champion website as one of six national finalists in the running to become Careers Champion 2016.
One of Steve's most notable achievements has been his role in establishing Haywood Sixth Form Academy's pioneering Work-Based Learning programme. The innovative curriculum model involves a four-week induction programme for students, followed by two days per week at Haywood Sixth Form Academy studying employability skills, Maths and English and three days per week completing work experience with a local employer, developing professional skills.
The Work-Based Learning option combines education and training with real, beneficial, work experience and is focused on giving students the skills and experience that employers are looking for.
Steve was nominated for the accolade by one of Haywood Sixth Form Academy's Work Based Learning employer partners.
In its first year, 76% of Work Based Learning students moved on to an apprenticeship and 24% moved on to further higher level studies.
The winner of the Careers Champion Award will be decided by a public vote on the careers champion website. If you would like to vote for Steve Hargreaves, who is the only finalist from Staffordshire, you can cast your vote from 12noon on Monday 31 October until 3pm on Tuesday 8 November.
Students and parents wishing to find out more about the Work Based Learning scheme at Haywood Sixth Form Academy are invited to an open evening from 6pm-8pm, 23 November.


Identifying the factors that affect labor market outcomes, both on the demand side (e.g., What affects employee compensation) and supply side (e.g., Does salary predict job choice for individuals), is paramount within social science research. However, we often lack the necessary field-level data to understand many of these relationships. This project leverages proprietary individual-employer (both realized and potential) data to understand how job characteristics (e.g., industry, location, entrepreneurship vs. established employer) and individual characteristics (e.g., education, pedigree, experience, gender, race) affect employee total compensation, both base salary and bonus structure. The next step in this project is to link these data to employee collected data on employee-reported employer rating data. Research assistance is sought to collect data on the firms represented in these data (public and private firms) using Stata and various databases (e.g., CRSP, Compustat, Capital IQ, VentureExpert) under Dr. Botelho's guidance, along with other tasks that may arise related to this project.

At around 8 p.m. last night the explosion blew out windows and made roofs collapse. After it was over, a senior-living facility, an apartment complex, and a significant number of single-family homes suffered extensive damage from the blast and debris - and the occupants inside their homes suffered worse: burns and broken bones and other injuries that sent at least 160 people to the hospital.
And NBC News reports that 15 people were killed, maybe more.
One police officer said: "I don't know how many folks may still be trapped in rubble. Homes have been destroyed. There are homes flattened. Part of that community is gone."
It's been the better part of a day and rescue workers are still looking for survivors. Texas Gov. Rick Perry has declared an emergency. A handful of volunteer firefighters, who were fighting the fire before the explosion, are missing.
All of this happened in the small town of West, Texas, pop. 2,849, which is located about 80 miles south of Dallas. In West there's the West Fertilizer Co., where the explosion took place. West Fertilizer is located quite close to a residential neighborhood and has been fined by the EPA at least twice for its failure to implement a risk-management plan.
In our book, when a company is fined by a federal agency for infractions involving safety, that's a pretty good indicator of negligence or wrongdoing, though it is too early at this point to know for sure the why and how of the explosion - an explosion that NBC News reports registered with the force of a 2.1 magnitude earthquake.

The steppe wolf was classified as gray wolf subspecies Canis lupus campestris in 1804 by Russian scientist Ivan Dwigubski. It is also known as the Caspian Sea wolf and the Caucasian wolf. Most taxonomists recognize the Canis lupus campestris, Canis lupus bactrianus, Canis lupus cubanensis, and the Canis lupus desertorum as being one and the same subspecies. The steppe wolf is commonly mistaken as being Canis lupus chanco which is the Tibetan wolf or Mongolian wolf.
The historic range of the steppe wolf is in the countries surrounding the Caspian Sea and Black Sea. Today, it exists only in a remote area in the extreme south-western portion of Russia that borders the northern half of the Caspian Sea.
Steppe wolves usually come in desert colors to blend into their surroundings. They are not white as are many more northerly Siberian wolves. Caspian sea wolves usually weigh up to 88 pounds, having short coats that display shades of gray with rust or brown and black hairs over their back with a poorly furred tail.
They eat almost every animal they can catch. Wolves usually hunt in packs, but the steppe wolf will hunt on its own when food (especially large prey) is scarce. The steppe wolf usually feeds on herd animals, rodents, and fish. When food is scarce, it may also eat berries and other fruits.
Though they usually eat almost every animal they can catch, both packs and lone steppe wolves have been known to occasionally kill more than they are capable of feeding on, especially Caspian seals. They are also liable to hunt domestic animals of nomadic families at any time day or night. They hunt when they are hungry but if they are not successful they can go without food for several weeks.
Like most other wolves, mating is usually between the dominant pair of the pack. Breeding usually occurs between January and April. After about 63 days, the mother will give birth to 4 to 7 pups which the entire pack usually takes part in raising.
The Canis lupus campestris has been hunted as a nuisance for years. It is listed as endangered in the Mongolian Red List of Mamals (2007), and can now only be found in a far south-western part of Russia along the Caspian Sea.
