The Blue Ribbon committee recommends placing the responsibility of nuclear waste in the hands of a new agency outside of the Dept. of Energy, which currently handles the program.
The committee also determined that a deep geologic waste site is a necessity for nuclear waste disposal: “The conclusion that disposal is needed and that deep geologic disposal is the scientifically preferred approach has been reached by every expert panel that has looked at the issue and by every other country that is pursuing a nuclear waste management program. Moreover, all spent fuel reprocessing or recycle options either already available or under active development at this time still generate waste streams that require a permanent disposal solution. We believe permanent disposal will very likely also be needed to safely manage at least some portion of the commercial spent fuel inventory. “
The committee says that interim storage sites are necessary to hold spent nuclear fuel from facilities that have been shut down.
The committee will take public comment on its report through Oct. 31.

The former Miss South Africa was held at gunpoint just one month after being crowned and has now gone on to win the new crown.
Miss South Africa Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters cries after she was announced as the new Miss Universe at the Miss Universe pageant Sunday, Nov. 26, 2017, in Las Vegas. She is the second woman from her home country to earn the crown. It was the toughest fight ever in the competition's history, which this year counted its most contestants ever.
The 21-year-old Bennett was among 92 contestants vying for the crown.
When asked what quality she could bring to Miss Universe, she said her confidence and helping help women overcome their fears. Nel-Peters, a graduate in business management, said her disabled half-sister has been among her great inspirations.
Answering the same question, Miss Jamaica, Davina Bennett, said: "Sexual harassment is a form of abuse, and no abuse should be tolerated whether in the workplace or in society". "And Miss Universe is a woman that has overcome many fears, and by that, she is able to help other women overcome their fears".
Miss South Africa was crowned Miss Universe. "I think we should have equal work for equal pay for women all over the world".
"You feel so empowered because you are on a stage with 91 other women that are strong, that are independent, that have worked really hard", she said.
Host Steve Harvey poked fun at his 2015 botched Miss Universe crowning throughout the night.

Tyson’s Ironhead Chop came to us as a bit of a wreck. It was moved from a backyard in Compton L.A. thrown in a container and shipped to Aus. As it rolled into the shop it had good bones and a fresh set of rebuilt wheels. Drum brake front and rear, laced up to a set of ally rims 19” front and 16” rear.
Everything else was pretty toast.
I took the job because I was interested to learn about about these vintage Harleys, having never worked on one at all. The bike was in completely unknown condition, I noticed right from the get go the kickstarter had a strange issue and didn’t seem to engage. The first thing I did was take it down to a mate, Dan Headons workshop. Creatively named “Dan’s Workshop” he’s quickly developed a name for being the guy to see about old Harley engines. He checked it over, repaired the Kicker gear and replaced the clutch among a few other things. We also went ahead with an S&S Super E carb and air cleaner set up on it, trying to milk a little more reliability out of the 1972 V-twin.
Now I knew the engine was in decent shape, I could start the process of building the bike. Tyson had a pretty good idea of what he wanted. With an 8” over front end, trimmed fender, Tall Sissy bar leaned back and a big King/Queen Seat. So that gave me a jump off point to get fabricating.
I always enjoyed looking at the vintage choppers that get around the Gold Coast, a lot of the bikes we build are simplified and stripped down to create a smooth and clean aesthetic. Choppers however are a little more reckless, featuring fab work and wild ways of getting the job done just because. It’s a whole different way of thinking I was keen to explore.
The bike came with a fender that we trimmed up, re-mounted and sorted out some spacers for. That gave us the basis to start building the sissy bar and seat. Supplied with the bike was a WW2 Bayonet, so the obvious choice was to work that into the sissy bar. The Chrome Struts on the Ironheads rear fender were used as a base to build from with a tall sissy being shaped to reach just higher than the bars. The timber on the handle was falling apart. I chose to replace it with some Tasmanian Burl timber, hand shaped to suit the handle and finished with some nice brass pins I made.
When building the seat pan we used the front pivot mount on the frame, and the top of the sissy bar for mounting points. Shaping the King and Queen base out of aluminium sheet, and grafting in some tail lights. I used a set of Hollowtip LED lights recessed into the back of the seat. Something different I’ve wanted to try for a while and this bike seemed to suit it well. After some Haggling with Jamo from Timeless, I got him to agree to doing some pin cushion style upholstery on the seat. We got some Stainless Steelbrush finish buttons and he went at it making a chesterfield style seat cover.
With that done we turned out attention to the tank, after a clean down we found holes big enough to fit out thump through along the bottom sheet metal joins…. It was a bin job. Luckily a mate, Camren from Sydney, linked me up with a king sporty tank in a bit better shape, I just had to cut the filler cap from the old tank, weld it in and we were good to go. Mounting it high on the back bone, I turned up an outlet for a rear petcock set up and that finished it up. The tins got sent down to Mitch Bailey for a brand new, 50 year old paint job (his specialty) black, simple white pinstripe and an old HD logo plastered on the side for good measure.
Tyson had fitted up a set of 5” risers and a set of pullback bars. The Ironhead sportster, this set up, the 8” over forks plus a king and queen leaves little to no room for the rider. I sourced a set of Dogbone risers and fabbed up a mount to bolt onto the top yoke. This gives you a heap more room up front and looks pretty wild.
When working on the front end we discovered some pretty bad signs that these forks we’re in rough shape. Apart from the chrome being rusted, I turned the wheel pushing it through the shop and the axle popped out from the forks flexing so much. We needed to stiffen these forks up and have them rebuild to make it rideable. Before the front end was sent away for chrome I grabbed one of our DIY fender mount kits and made up a fork brace for the 33.4mm K model forks. These forks are pretty sought after, so although it would have been much cheaper to replace with another front end, we decided to persevere and get them repaired. Charlie from Costanzo racing tuned took the job (and probably regrets it). After having the legs and tubes re-chromed, and new bushings installed we were left with the job of making these things function.
Between myself and Charlie, the Ironheads 33.4mm K-model front end was kitted out with completely custom internals. The mods help the dinosaur front end function like actual suspension. With custom compression, dampening and top out springs to make sure the ride is as good as you can get from an 8”over set up.
One of our last fab jobs was building the exhaust, it’s a fun job on any bike, but I had a lot of fun making this one. It’s a Stainless steel Custom exhaust, 1 ¾” diameter that snakes under the right foot peg, and finished out past the back wheel, straight through. Tack it up, back purge, tig weld, finish back and brush finish the lot when you’re done. The exhaust note out of this thing is amazing: the perfect crackle, and that nice gurgle over run that you want out of the old boy Harley.
Wiring this old dog up was a dream. 3 wires to the front light, 3 wires to the rear, link up the ignition and kill switch, charge the battery and it was done. The only tricky part was fabricating a brake switch onto the front lever and running a single wire from the switch. That meant the dimmer circuit on the LED brake lights to achieve the 50% running 100% brake light was swapped to work on the -ve side.
I was hesitant to kick the Ironhead over for the first time after seeing so many bikes kick back on people and shoes go flying over the years. Surprisingly, after sitting so long, the 1972 Ironhead fired up second kick and ran! Sent out to Dan again to get the tune dailled in and make sure the 1972 IOronhead was ready for the road, now it was actually rideable!
I have to say I can see why people love these things so much. The clunks and pops of the old engine, knees in the breeze. Scarily choppers are starting to make a lot of sense to me know. I guess I’m gonna need another bike.

Summary: We are made of humble origins but humanity was also made with unique significance… in the image of God Himself.
We’re in the second week in a new series, where we are tracing out the story of the Bible. We want to see how all the parts of God’s story fit together. And while the Bible is one of the most widely read books in history, it is also one of the most misunderstood. Much of the confusion results from a failure to grasp the overall message or central theme of the Bible. It is a “forest for the trees” problem. Often so much time is spent in the “trees” of different Bible teachings that we miss the “forest” or the big picture. Sometimes we need to step back to see this big picture.
And that is exactly the aim of this series – to see the big picture of the Bible. To see the Bible is a single story. We’re taking a look at the central storyline of Scripture. Last week, we traveled back in time and examined God before anything else came into existence. And throughout our time, I want to offer a bird’s eye view, if you will. Throughout the 7 weeks together, it will be my aim to unpack these four sentences carefully.
God made the world.
We rebelled against our ruler.
God reentered the world to redeem us.
And God will remake the world.
Today’s Scripture Passage
These are the generations
of the heavens and the earth when they were created,
in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.
5 When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, 6 and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground—7 then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. 8 And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” 19 Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. 21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said,
“This at last is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called Woman,

USCrude – oil
Last week, oil buyers were testing the resistance at Target Zone 5 [41.67 – 40.92]. They haven’t broken the zone out and consolidate the price above. As a result, the price is now being corrected. The correction target is likely to be the trend key support [33.64 — 32.86].
The hourly timeframe shows that the short-term uptrend continues on Monday morning. Intermediary Zone [37.54 – 37.15] is being held by buyers, so, look for a buy pattern. The buy target will be the high of last week.
There is also an alternative scenario. In this case, the…

New Bombardier aircraft brings additional Luxair flights
Earlier this week Luxair Airlines added an 11th Bombardier Q400 to its fleet and announced an increase in passenger capacity on three routes.
The new aircraft can carry up to 76 passengers and will allow Luxair to operate additional flights from Luxembourg to Dublin, Venice and Copenhagen.
An evening flight to Dublin will be on offer (Mondays and Fridays) from September 18 and three weekly flights will operate to Venice (Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays) during the winter season.
From October 30, three daily flights to Copenhagen will also be available on Mondays and Fridays.
Ordered in December 2016 from Canadian manufacturer Bombardier Commercial Aircraft, the new Bombardier Q400 arrived at Findel airport on Thursday.
It left Toronto on Wednesday, August 2 and made two stops in Goose Bay, Canada and Reykjavik, Iceland, before landing in the Grand Duchy on Thursday, August 3 at 6:05 pm (UTC).
The Bombardier Q400 NextGen is a medium-haul twin-turboprop aircraft characterised by significantly lower CO2 emissions than other equivalent jets. It has the same efficiency, absence of vibration and low sound disturbance as a jet engine.
Luxair did not provide any information on the total cost of the aircraft, but according to the Bombardier website, the average sale price for a Q400 aircraft amounts to $32.2 million.
Before entering into service in September, Luxair technicians will carry out a number of adjustments to align the new aircraft to the airline's standards.

The first-ever reissue of Jon Hassell’s “Fourth World” masterpiece - originally released in 1981. Collaborators include Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois (U2, Peter Gabriel) and Michael Brook (Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan). Beautifully re-mastered, with a bonus track (“Ordinary Mind”) and liner notes written by Hassell himself.
In the late 1970’s in New York, Hassell began to produce a series of astonishing albums where his trumpet explored both non-western modalities and dramatic sound processing (deftly rendered by nascent digital effects like the AMS harmonizer). Brian Eno, who was living New York at the time was thrilled by Hassell’s debut album Vernal Equinox and sought out its creator. Eventually they began an in-depth (and at times contentious) collaboration that resulted in the classic album Fourth World Vol.1: Possible Musics (also reissued by Glitterbeat Records).
One reason for this continued fascination with Hassell’s music, is that most of his output still feels as though it is unstamped by time, fashion or genre specificity. When listening to Dream Theory in Malaya: Fourth World Volume Two, one is deeply struck by how contemporary or even “futuristic” it still sounds. The stuttering glitches of the opening track “Chor Moiré” are cooly confrontational. The scratchy, layered drones of “Dream Theory” are both haunted and indeterminate. The mixing of acoustic sounds and electronics, technological motifs and field recordings has been revisited and reimagined many times in the 36 years since this album came out, but rarely with such unsparing intelligence and technicolor sensuality. This music still beguiles and still beckons with untapped possibilities and strategies.

This condition can result from a decreased generation of insulin, the hormone produced by the pancreas to use sugars and other components of food and turn them into energy, or even from the decreased ability of the body to use the insulin it produces.
High blood glucose levels, if not perfected with suitable therapy, can over time facilitate the manifestation of chronic complications of the disease, namely, damage to the kidneys, retina, peripheral nerves and cardiovascular system, i.e. heart and arteries. It is possible to coexist with diabetes, but it is essential to know what causes blood sugar to increase or decrease in order to keep it as close to ordinary levels as possible and to avoid or slow down the onset and progression of chronic complications that unfortunately aggravate the quality of life.
Diabetes: these are all the symptoms to recognize it in time
People with undiagnosed diabetes often have one or more of these symptoms: intense thirst with the need to drink frequently; needing to urinate often or getting up at night to urinate; weight loss and increased appetite; vision disorders such as difficulty focusing on objects, blurred vision; difficult healing of small wounds especially in the lower limbs and finally a sense of unusual tiredness.
It is so important that the person with diabetes is aware of his disease, learns well the drugs he assumes for diabetes therapy and their main side effects, and is prepared to cope with possible unexpected events or particular situations such as random diseases, changes in mealtimes, travel or pregnancy planning.
A very important help in maintaining a good blood sugar comes from the use of instruments for measuring blood sugar glycemia. They are easy and reliable tools that allow you to measure blood sugar on capillary blood obtained from the puncture of the fingertip, in total autonomy and at any time of the day.
So here’s how to recognize diabetes from symptoms. If you notice that you may be experiencing these symptoms, contact your doctor and ask for a consultation from an expert who will be able to guide you on the path of recovery.

PTA balloon catheter is an innovative medical device, which is inserted into the femoral artery in the leg or sometimes inserted into the radial artery in the arm for the treatment of constricted blood vessels. The PTA stands for “Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty”. As the balloon inflates, the cage causes the balloon to form a series of segmented grooves and pillows along the entire lesions. The grooves help to relieve the stress and stop dissections from propagating and the pillows apply force to create small dissections that are necessary for effective dilation.

In 2013, police were anxiously searching for a man who had not only groped young girls—grabbing the buttocks of an 11-year-old on 4th Street near 6th Avenue; brushing up against a 10-year-old girl on Fifth Avenue and then rubbing himself on her and grabbing her buttocks, as well as the buttocks of an 11-year-old—but also assaulted an undercover police officer who was questioning him on the street. Jesse Dailey, 34, was caught after some Good Samaritans stopped him after the incident with the police officer (they let him go, but one took a photograph of his ID).
However, when the case finally went to trial recently, Dailey was found not guilty after, the Brooklyn Paper reports, "police bungled the investigation and the evidence against him did not add up to a conviction, according to one juror."
For instance, a police officer apparently showed a photograph of Dailey to a victim before the victim saw Dailey and others in a police line-up. The cop then lied during his testimony, claiming he never showed the picture. The Brooklyn Paper also noted that the only victim who saw the groper's face "did not identify Dailey when asked if her attacker was in the court room."
Juror Alley Olivier—who writes for the Brooklyn Paper—told the publication, "It was a hard decision" to acquit Dailey of the groping charges as well as the assault on the police officer. "We really wanted to see justice done for these girls." She explained, "We didn’t have enough evidence to prove it was Jesse Dailey."

I’m a major fan of dinners that require very little dishes. Especially one that that my kids go crazy for! This is a great update on a traditional taco casserole using slightly healthier options, because I like to make little switches whenever possible to make dinners more nutritious for my family. For example, lard-free tortillas instead of fried tortilla chips; organic grass-fed ground beef instead of non-organic and adding bell peppers for extra veggies; vegetarian refried beans with no lard; creating your own taco seasoning without MSG; adding fresh avocado and salsa and omitting sour cream. These are relatively easy switches that your kids won’t notice! Put this recipe in your back pocket, cause your family will want this on repeat.
One Pan Taco Casserole
recipe by Parsley and Pepper
1 lb ground beef
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 bell pepper (I used a green one), diced
1/2 T cumin
1/2 T onion powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 cup water
4 lard-free tortillas, cut into strips
1 can organic vegetarian refried beans
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
fresh lettuce, salsa, and avocado
In an oven-safe skillet (I LOVE this cast iron one my husband got me for christmas), crumble your beef. add onion and bell pepper. Cook over medium high heat until meat is browned. Meanwhile, mix all of your spices in a small bowl. Add to browned meat, then add the water. Stir to combine, and simmer for a couple more minutes. Pour meat onto a plate and set aside. In the same pan, layer your tortillas. Spread beans over the top of the tortillas, then spread meat over the beans. Sprinkle the cheese over the top and bake at 375 for 15 minutes. Top with lettuce, salsa, and avocado.


Our first volunteer, Johnny Joensuu, was assisting with ship maintenance in Las Palmas during his volunteer period. As a hospital ship, Africa Mercy spends most of her time in port. She only sails about two weeks each year and since most of the people on board are volunteers, they have little experience of working at sea. Therefore our experienced employees with their unique technical and naval competence are able to offer a wealth of knowledge first hand.
”The biggest challenge was right at the beginning when I only had a week to learn all about the ship’s systems before we sat sail for Las Palmas, says Johnny Joensuu. “In my role as Third Engineer I’ve was given responsibility for the generators on board. My job was to make sure the planned maintenance is done in a satisfactory way and to get the ship ready for her next voyage to Guinea in August”.
Normally Johnny works as a Third Engineer on Stena Saga and even though his everyday work on board has been quite similar to back home, it has been an eye-opening experience.
“The trip itself has been amazing. I have met a lot of people from different backgrounds and nationalities. One thing that I’ll brought back home with me is the understanding of how fortunate we are. Medical care and schools are things we take for granted, which are not available for a lot of the people I have met on board, says Johnny.
The final destination for Africa Mercy was Guinea on the west coast of Africa.

Temple Emanuel President Laurie Reitman said there were no surprises as a result of the non-binding balloting to help determine the future of the congregation.
“After the articles about our proposed merger with Temple Israel appeared in the [St. Louis] Post-Dispatch and the [St. Louis Jewish] Light, people assumed it was a done deal,” Reitman said. “It never was.”
Ballots were distributed in April to members of the congregation to identify their preference for the future direction of the congregation: stand alone, merge with a smaller congregation or merge with Temple Israel. There was a 70 percent response rate with 172 of the 245 ballots distributed completed. The ballots allowed voters to rank their choices preferentially.
“We had 65 percent of the ballots identify the stand alone path as their first choice or only choice,” Reitman said. “Twenty-one percent selected merging with a small congregation and 15 percent selected merging with Temple Israel. When you look at first and second choices, 83 percent preferred the stand alone option.”
Reitman reiterated the balloting is non-binding and is just an advisory vote to the congregational board which has many decisions to make about the future of the congregation.
“The board still has a lot of work ahead of them on how to meet the needs of the congregation: both financially and spiritually,” Reitman said. “None are new challenges. We still have more questions than answers.”
Past president Ken Cohen was pleased with the results. He feels more comfortable in a smaller congregation.
“I am hoping we can make it work financially which is always the challenge for small congregations,” Cohen said. “I hope our new board will look into sharing some of our programming with other small congregations. It is important for small congregations to support each other.”
The congregation worked with B’nai El Congregation and Congregation Kol Am to combine their youth groups over three years ago and created KABEEY (Kol Am B’nai El Emanuel Youth). They also have a joint team with B’nai El for the Intercongregational Softball League. Cohen said the results of their recent opening game further highlights the potential when small congregations join forces.
“At today’s opening games, for the first time in history, our team won,” Cohen said. “Rabbi [Daniel] Plotkin drove in the winning run at the bottom of the last inning. I have never seen a rabbi so joyous.”
Member Claire Kaufman feels the results of the balloting demonstrate the faith and confidence the membership places in the leadership to secure a future for the congregation.
“Our stored vitality and strength places us in a position where our members find a community of comfort, energy and faith,” Kaufman said.
Incoming president David Sherman said he felt the balloting was clearly a mandate from the congregation.
“They want us to remain independent, in our own building and to preserve the traditions, values and culture of the congregation our founders envisioned 50 years ago,” Sherman said.
How that future develops and how the congregation will move forward is still a work in progress, said Sherman. He said there has been a groundswell of interest and enthusiasm from the members and he feels very good about the direction and prospects for the future of the congregation.
“We know we need to grow our numbers in terms of members, our religious school and programming,” Sherman said. “There are a lot of different avenues we can take to accomplish those goals. There are a lot of ways to grow and we are not taking anything off the table.”

On the northwest corner of Seventh and Main Streets is District Gallery, where early-morning sunshine drenches white walls splashed with art. Owner Karen Snizik Alvarez says her family called the business District Gallery so that regardless of location, the name always works. This came in handy when she moved the three-year-old gallery from Park City’s Iron Horse district to Main Street last October.
A Michigan native, Alvarez grew up in a family of artists, including her mother, a potter by avocation, and a grandfather who tooled gunstocks. In 1986, when the Breckenridge, Colorado, ski shop she worked for expanded to Park City, Alvarez gladly made the move.
Later she left Utah for several years to work in the film industry as an assistant to the legendary producer, director, and screenwriter Francis Ford Coppola. “I am no stranger to the art world,” she says, looking about her gallery at the walls and tables displaying the work of more than 30 artists, more than half of whom are from Utah.
Gallerygoers will find a pleasingly eclectic mix of art at District Gallery. Still-life aficionados will enjoy the work of Utah native and former head of the Utah Watercolor Society Philip Barlow alongside the work of his daughter, Elizabeth Barlow, whose paintings depict the shoes of her subjects. “The shoes tell a story about who the person is,” Alvarez explains. In the words of the artist, “A pair of shoes ... might speak of the desire for luxury and adornment, the need for protection, or the simple utility of a working life.”
On another wall is the unmistakable work of Jeff Ham, whose use of explosive color in his paintings of animals, iconic figures, and Native Americans is arresting. “He paints the Native American lifestyle like no other,” Alvarez says.
And then there is Theodore Waddell, whose modernist paintings are most often found in museum collections. Waddell splits his time between Idaho and Montana, and Alvarez was delighted when he accepted her invitation to show his work at District Gallery.
Look for Utah artist Lyman Whitaker’s kinetic wind sculptures at District Gallery, too. The soothing sculptures capturing the whisper of wind are a boon to gardens and patios, and they have become a landmark of the gallery’s outdoor landscape.
Alvarez sees owning and managing an art gallery as a more intimate experience than other retail endeavors. “Artists are sensitive,” she says. “You need to have a rapport with them. They need reassurance. They are exposing themselves through their art.” She finds reward in working with artists who entrust her with the efforts of their souls. But the best of District Gallery comes, Alvarez says, just from “opening the door every day.”

There typically is far more possibility of making money in commercial real estate than there is in residential property. It might be difficult to find good opportunities. Here are a variety of tips that will help you get the most from your commercial property investments.
Regardless of whether you are buying or selling, negotiate! Be sure that your voice is heard so that you can get yourself a fair price on the property price.
Take photographs of the unit. Be sure the photos capture any defects that exist in the unit, discoloration, or spots).
You can never know too much when it comes to commercial real estate, so you should study real estate topics regularly.
When deciding between two viable commercial properties, think on a bigger scale. Generally, this is the same situation as if you were buying something in bulk, you will end up getting a better price per unit.
- You should learn how to calculate the NOI metric.
- There are a lot of factors that determine the value greatly.
- This will avoid bigger problems from occurring after the sale.
If you have the intention of offering your commercial real estate for rent, you should seek buildings of solid and simple construction. These units draw in the best tenants quickly because they know that these properties are well-cared for.
Keep your commercial properties occupied. If you’re struggling to keep your properties rented, you need to figure out what the reason is behind this, and consider what you may be doing to drive tenants away.
Try to decrease potential events of default criteria prior to executing a lease for commercial property. This decreases the chance that the person renting will fail to uphold their end of the lease. You want this to happen to you.
You need to advertise that your commercial property is for sale to people locally and non-local people. Many sellers mistakenly presume that their property is only interesting to local buyers. There are many private investors who would purchase property in any area.
When you write your letters of intent, start off by dealing with the larger issues, then addressing the minor issues later in the negotiations. If you are checking out more than one property, be sure to obtain a checklist for the tour site. Take this list with you as a reference when visiting other properties, but don’t go further without the property owner knowing. Do not be afraid to let it slip to the owners that you’re also looking at other properties that you are considering. This may provide you with more viable deal – https://www.topcashoffer.co.uk/assisted-house-sale.html
Check any disclosures of the chosen real estate agent gives you wish to work with. Remember that a dual agency is also an option. This means the broker represents you and the landlord at the same time. Dual agency should be disclosed and must be agreed upon by both parties.
Borrowers are required to order appraisals with commercial loans. The bank won’t let you use one not ordered by other people. Order your appraisal yourself to ensure everything goes as planned.
Get on the internet before you buy any property. The idea is for people can find out who you by just entering your name into a search field.
There are some ways you can save money on the costs associated with cleaning up a property. You are the one that is responsible for clean up if you own a stake in a property have a direct responsibility to cover its costs of the property. The costs for environmental waste can cost a fortune. These reports may initially cost quite a bit; however, but they pale in comparison to the savings of avoiding a contaminated property on your hands.
You can post to social networking sites, or regularly post new content on a social networking website. Don’t disappear into the online when you complete a deal.
However, each opportunity and property is unique, and the information that you have about a specific property will guide your decision.
Be clearheaded about what amount of square footage available.
When going into commercial real estate deals, it is important to go over paperwork with a reputable real estate attorney. If the deal goes south for any reason, you need a great person to clear your name of threats.
Know your business goals before starting the search for commercial properties. Know just what type of office space that you need to have. If you have hopes of company growth, you should invest in more space than what you need when the price is low, rather than wait until later when prices go up.
Set up contracts which either allow you to repay the loans via a fixed interest rate, or possibly exchanging their money for a slice of the property income.
Try using feng shui in your properties.
Large real estate companies often slip in additional requirements or covenants into lease documents, and they are often exceptionally lengthy. By reading the lease in full, you can avoid signing onto a requirement that will cause you difficulty.
With what you learned, you should now know some good basics when it comes to investing in commercial real estate. Make sure you are flexible so that you can always be informed and know what to do in any type of situation. If you do this, you can be in a good position to get the most profit.

Like adults, kids also require the support of a pillow as they sleep.
The age when pillows become necessary varies between children but many people introduce them between the ages of two and three. Regardless of how old your kid is, the pillow they use will affect the quality of their sleep.
The following are things you should consider to choose the perfect pillow for your young one.
1. The Fill Material
The material inside the pillowcase determines how much support the pillow will offer and how comfortable it will be.
The most common fill materials include memory foam, down, feathers and polyester. Memory foam conforms to body movements and provides unrivalled support. It also distributes weight evenly, thereby avoiding issues such as neck pain. It is a great choice for kids, but it comes at a higher price tag.
Down and feathers are natural materials that come from geese or ducks. Feathers are warm and soft, but a feather pillow will not last as long as one filled with down. Again feathers have quills which could poke you through the pillowcase. As such, down is the better option. But be sure to take note of the fill power. The higher the fill power, the better the quality of the pillow.
Polyester filling is more affordable and can provide good support. However, it is not long-lasting.
The softness of a pillow is majorly affected by the type of filling and how the filling is packed. Materials such as buckwheat are firm while down will result in soft pillows. In the same breath, a tightly stuffed pillow will likely not be as soft as one with less filling.
But is a soft pillow better than a firm one?
Your choice should be determined by how your child sleeps. For example, if they sleep on their back, a soft pillow is necessary to support their neck and backbone.
Conversely, a medium or firm pillow will be necessary for side sleepers to keep their neck aligned with the rest of their body.
Be extra careful when buying a pillow for a toddler. One that is too hard will be uncomfortable for them while a very soft one may pose the risk of suffocation.
3. The Pillow Cover
Ultimately, it is the fabric that will come into contact with the skin when your kid finally lays their head on the pillow. If the material isn’t gentle enough, they will have an uncomfortable night.
Pillow covers come in a variety of materials ranging from good old cotton and silk to synthetic materials such as polyester and nylon. As a rule, go for something that is soft and breathable.
For many people, the battle is usually between silk vs. satin. The main difference between these two fabrics is that silk is a natural product, while satin can be produced from polyester. While put head to head, silk is softer and has better temperature regulation qualities than satin.
4. Thread Count
Folks who are not regular buyers of pillows or bed sheets may not be conversant with this term. Thread count refers to the number of vertical or horizontal threads in an inch of fabric.
Why does this matter?
Pillows with a higher thread count have a softer feel. To determine the thread count, lookout for a “T” or a “TC” preceding or being preceded by a number.
Expect to pay more for a higher thread count.
About 10% of all children in Australia have Asthma. Unfortunately, certain filler materials such as feather and down can aggravate allergies. If your child is asthmatic, steer clear of these materials or look for a hypoallergenic pillowcase. These covers can also keep away mites and dust.
Children Deserve a Good Night’s Sleep
Children require more hours of sleep than adults. Unfortunately, if they are not comfortable, they will have trouble sleeping or will wake up tired. Choosing the right pillow for them can go a long way in helping them get the level of rest that they deserve.

1. People suffer when BN Government remains
Pakatan Rakyat had hope to change the BN Government both at the Federal as well as at the State level at the 13th General Election held on 5/5/2013. PR had forwarned that if the change does not come, the people will suffer. Since 5th May, the people feel the effect of BN continuing its BarangNaik (price hike) policy. The BN government passes on the burden to the people through price hike rather than taking strigent measures to cut the profit of crony companies, wastages, reduce corruption and practice good governance by having open tender, doing away with monopolies etc.
The standard answer given by BN whenever there is a price hike is that it will not burden the people. This is catastrophic for the people as the BN government still does not recognize that price hike is a burden to the people. As such, the BN government will not act to lessen the burden of price hike on the people.
Fuel, sugar prices and road tolls have increased drastically in recent years. Electricity tariff was increased by 7.0% in 2011. The government has just announced another 15% hike in electricity tariff in Peninsula Malaysia and 17% hike in Sabah. The hike for commercial and industrial users is 16.85%. It will be coupled with another 2.0% for Green Energy charges next year and another 6.0% of GST from 1/4/2015.
In Kuala Lumpur the assessment rates for houses, offices, malls and other buildings have increasedby up to a few hundred per cent and the same is expected in many BN controlled states in the near future. The BN Federal Government has announced the implementation ofGoods and Services Tax (GST) from 1/4/2015 which the Secretary General of the Finance Ministry, Tan Sri MohdIrwanSerigar Abdullah had said will reap in RM32.00 billion a year for the Government, equivalent to RM1,140 per person per year for the 28.0 million Malaysians. It translates into RM5,700 per family of 5 which means that each family will have to pay an additional sum of RM475 per month whilemaintaining the same lifestyle. BN Government gives a needy family RM650-00 under BRIM but takes back 9 times from them! This is definitely a big burden for most Malaysian families. Coupled with the abovesaid fuel, sugar, toll, electricity and assessment rates hikes,GSTwill a very veryheavy burden formost Malaysians.
The BN government has announced that more price hike will be coming as the Government will reduce many more subsidies that Malaysians are enjoying.Malaysians should rightfully be entitled to many of these subsidies due to the huge income we receive from our petroleum and our natural resources. Malaysians will soon be deprived of the riches of our nation. This is the outcome of decades of mismanagement, wastages, corruption, abuse of power and cronism under the BN government.
Our national debt now stands at more than RM500 billion and we are paying about RM23.1 billion a year to service the debt. Coupled with interest, we expect to settle our national debt only in 30 years provided our Government does not incur further debt. Unfortunately, our Government is incurring further debt by presenting a deficit of RM40.0 billion in the 2014 budget. We will never be able to repay our debt and the nation will be bankrupt not many years from now if this trend of incurring further debt continues. The BN government has been presenting deficit budgets for the past 17 consequtive years since 1998. It must be noted that since Dato Seri NajibTun Abdul Razak took over as premier, the national debt has more than doubled from RM236.18 billion in 2008 to more than RM500 billion now.
2. BN Perak Government continues to disappoint
(i) Perak the 4th poorest State
Perak is the 4th poorest State with regard to mean monthly gross household income. Mean Monthly gross household income in Perak in 2012 was RM3,548, only better to Perlis (RM3,538), Kedah (RM3,425) and Kelantan (RM3,168). Perak was once the richest State in Malaysia. BN Perak Government has finally admitted in the just concluded sitting of the Perak State Assembly 2 weeks ago that its promise in 2006 that it will bring Perak to a developed State status by 2015 was an empty promise. Prime Minister, Dato’ Seri NajibTunRazakwhen presenting the 2014 Federal budget has defined one of the criteria to classify a nation as a developed nation, that the nation’s citizen must achieve per capital income of US15,000 (or about RM48,000). Percapital income of Malaysians was RM23,626 in 2012 and per capital income of Perakianswas only RM20,569 in 2012 below national per capital income. We are a far cry for achieving a developed nation status though Malaysia has been placed first among developing nations for the past more than 20 years.
(ii) Failure to attract tourists
120.2 million foreign tourists visited Malaysia during the last 5 years (2008-2012) bringing in revenue of RM278.36 billion. Unfortunately only 2% of the tourists i.e 2.4 million visited Perak during that period or about 480,000 tourists per year. This is stated by the Minister of Tourism and Culture, Dato’ Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz, in his reply to me in Parliament on23/9/2013.Tourist arrivals in Perak are a far cry if compared to Penang. Penang airport arrivals alone are expect to hit the 5.5 million mark by the end of 2013.
(iii) Failure to attract investments
The highest investment registered in the history of Perak is still in 2008 when it was administered by Pakatan Rakyat at RM3.13 billion. We expected the trend of high investments to take off as scores of local and foreign investors have visited Perak then with a view of investing in Perak but unfortunately, their enthusiasm were killed when BN undemocratically grabbed power on 6/2/2009. Investments have never recovered since then.
Penang registered investment of RM36.1 billion (both local and foreign) in the last 5 years (2008-2012) while Perak only registered about RM9.3 billion during the same period. We are already behind Penang and with the continued failure to attract more investments we will fall far behind others.
(iv) Corruption and abuse of power in approving state lands rampant
Recently our former Prime Minister, TunDr Mahathir Mohammad admitted that there was corruption during his tenure but he said it has now become worse and that the Malaysian authorities are not taking action to curb corruption. Malaysia was placed in No. 23 position when Transparency International Corruption Perception Index was first introduced in 1995. Her position has deteriorated and is nowplaced at No. 53 in 2013. Corruption and abuse of power is no better in Perak. Since the BN grab of power on 6/2/2009, BN Perak State government has approved 112,546.7 acres of land equivalent to 1km wide by 455 km long i.e from Alor Star to Kuala Lumpur, many involving corruption and abuse of power. PR Perak has expose so many cases of land approved to cronies but until now we do not see any action taken by MACC or other authorities against them for abuse of power.
(v) Refusing to implement reforms
The PR elected representatives have asked the formation of the following 3 select committees:
a) Select committee on the land offices and the office of the Director of Lands and Mines.
b) Select committee on Government Link Companies.
c) Select committee on local governments.
The reason for the formation of the above said 3 select committees is to focus at the places where corruption and abuse of power happenthe most in the State.
It is also to be noted that since the formation of the Public Accounts Committee chaired by a BN elected representative has not even met once. I call on the Perak Government to allow an opposition elected member to chair this committee as is the norm in a healthy democracy.
BN Perak Government has refused to embrace the reforms proposed by PR elected representatives.
3. Stop UMNO/BN racial discriminatory policies which have been used to rob the people
The icon against racial discrimination, Mr Nelson Mandela has just passed away on 6/12/2013 and the world embraces what he symbolizes. Tributes for what he fought for are pouring in. Unfortunately, in Malaysia, UMNO the main component of the ruling party is still propagating its version of apartheid of racial discrimination. It had in the past demanded30% of the economic cake purportedly for the Bumiputrasand now there is a call for it to be increased to 67.9% in proportion to the population of bumiputras in the country. The truth is, many UMNO leaders were plundering in the guise of protecting the rights of Bumiputras. The Government gave away 54 billion shares since the New Economic Policy was implemented in 1971 for Bumiputras that most of them were taken and sold by UMNO leaders at the expense of the Bumiputra population. There is no limit to what bumiputras can acquire but they must work for it. UMNO need not shout about what Bumiputras can acquire. The UMNO leaders unashamedly demands that wealth be stolen and given to them when they demand 30% or 67.9% of the economic cake. If truly UMNO leaders love the Bumiputras they should be working hard to uplift their economic position and not their own and to share the massive wealth that they have amassed with them.
4. PR must continue to be the People’s Hope
Many of PR supporters are disappointed that we did not succeed in forming government at the Federal level as well as the Perak State level. I hope they will not be discouraged as PR is still the hope of the people.
The 13th General Election on 5/5/2013 saw majority of Malaysians and the majority of Perakians supporting Pakatan Rakyat though we did not succeed in helming the Federal Government as well as the State Government of Perak.
PR obtained 51%Parliamentary votes at the Federal level.
At the Perak State level,BN obtained 512,861 while PR obtained 623,860 of the Parliamentary votes. PR won by 110,999 votes or 54.88% of the total votes casted for PR and BN.
In the Perak State Constituencies, PR obtained 625,710 votes while BN obtained 506,947 votes. PR won by 118,763 votes or 55.24% of the total votes casted for PR and BN.We were not able to form the State Government because we lack 2 seats. PR won 28 seats compared to BN’s 31 seats. PR lost to BN by 52 votes in the State Constituency of LubokMerbau and 132 votes in the State Constituency of Manjoi. We believe it is easier for PR to win less than 200 votes in the 14th General Election to form government than BN trying to win for about 120,000 votes to form government in the next general election.
Many service centres of Gerakan and MCA in DAP contested areas have closed since the 13th General Election. The people have placed their hope in PR especially in DAP contested areas. We must not and cannot fail them though we were not able to form government in Perak. We must be committed to serve them though in difficult circumstances where funds are not available to us due to our position as the opposition in the Perak State.
5. What we must do
We must not sit back and allow the situation to deteriorate until the nation cannot be saved even if PR comes to power after the 14th General Election. We must continue to pressure the government to reform. We demand that the Government review the many monopolies and contracts that favour BN crony companies. We demand that corruption and inflated prices of purchasesbe stopped as the losses incurred will finally be borne by the general population. We want to pressure the Malaysian Anti CorruptionCommission to act. Last but not the least, we want the Perak Government to get down to work among others to make sure we get more tourist dollars, to resolve the problems now besetting the bird nests and Arowana fish industries and to have plans promoting and increasing the yield of other produce of Perak. Since Penang government has announced that its BayanLepas international airport will reach its full capacity of 5.0 million arrivals by end of 2013 and needs airport expansion or a new airport, the Federal Government should consider approving the Utara Malaysia Airport Terminal (UMAT) at AlorPongsu near ParitBuntar which is only about 30 minutes by car to Penang. The UMAT project a Private Financial Initiative was early rejected for fear of affecting the business of Penang International Airport.It will be ideal for UMAT to be built now to cater for the additional passengers intending to go Penang and at the same time facilitate passenger arrivals, both local and international to Perak as Kerian District (where ParitBuntar is situated) has been designated as the transportation hub for Perak where there is at the moment an interstate bus terminal and also the double track train station. We hope to see increase in income of Perakians from tourism, investments and increase of revenue from the produce of Perak in order to surmount the expected huge rise in the costs of living due to the price hikes of goods and services in the immediate future.
6. We will not fear.
BN's final resort will be to use the tactic of creating fear. BN wants to punish the Chinese for not supporting it in the 13th General Election. It has been suggested that those who did not support BN be denied BRIM. One MCA leader has proposed that only children of those who support BN be allowed to be admitted to TAR College and UTAR although when collecting funds for TARC & UTAR they never make it a point to collect only from BN supporters. Let it be clear to BN that as much as the South Africans were successful in overcoming the oppressive apartheid regime, the people of Malaysia will overcome BN's politics of fear.The late revered Nelson Mandela has once said, ' I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear '.
We shall rise and be people who overcome. Let this message be loud and clear to BN for we are determined to save Malaysia from doom in the hands of BN.

Bleed for This Plot Summary:
Based on the true story of World Champion boxer Vinny Pazienza (Miles Teller), who after a near fatal car accident refuses spinal fluid that will guarantee him to walk again. Vinny chooses to heal his body through a risky halo apparatus screwed into his head in the hopes that he will fight again.
Boxing movies are always compelling. They are the bare essentials of what makes a film great. Protagonist. Challenge to overcome. The comeback. Climactic fight. Whirlwind of emotions. Bleed for This is no different. This is a workmanlike effort from director Ben Younger (Boiler Room). I mean that as the highest compliment. The story is practically gift wrapped and hand delivered to make one hell of a movie, but Younger doesn’t sit back on his laurels. There are no tricks here. Younger puts together a tight, lean, well edited powerful punch of a film. He lets the characters do the talking. The two leads should and will get Oscar consideration.
I’ve praised Miles Teller up and down in previous reviews. This movie cements him as one of the better talents in Hollywood. He simply knows what to bring out of a character. There’s already an anticipation within the first ten seconds of the movie. Once we meet Vinny, we immediately know who he is. He’s a hothead, but dedicated to his craft. He’s glib, but intense. He’s to the point. Teller fleshes this out flawlessly, sometimes even all at once.
It’s the sad moments, the almost giving up moments where Teller goes to that Oscar caliber level. There’s a scene where Vinny is riding in the back of a car after a night of gambling. He practically breaks down at the realization that he’ll probably never fight again. It works the same way as when Boobie Miles breaks down in Friday Night Lights, but more subtle. Teller crushes it. Vinny is always compelling, even when the guy is simply watching TV. The screenplay develops his gambling persona early on, so when he takes the ultimate risk to wear the halo, you immediately understand why he does it. As great as Teller is, I’m not sure he gives the best performance.
What a year for Aaron Eckhart. First Sully, now this. Eckhart plays Kevin Rooney, Vinny’s manager. As Tyson’s former manager, he’s completely broken down. In Eckhart’s first scene I almost wanted to shout out “Give him the nomination now!” When you first hear his voice, it’s hard to tell this is Aaron Eckhart. It’s a masterful performance. The relationship between him and Vinny works in spades. Kevin battles multiple demons. He’s a wash out. Vinny’s accident rips him apart. He struggles with training Vinny again, but also selfishly wants to get his career back. Eckhart carries all this weight (quite literally) in his performance.
It’s the two leads who stand out, but the film is peppered with great supporting roles. Katey Sagal plays Louise, Vinny’s mom. She doesn’t have a ton of scenes, but they all have an impact. There’s a running motif where she goes into the other room during Vinny’s fights that is very effective. It’s the hospital scenes that really slay you though, as you can imagine. Ciaran Hinds plays Vinny’s father, Angelo, and is also a great presence. He’s constantly at war with himself as Vinny’s father and co-manager. He has a couple stand out moments with Teller.
The characters are great, but it all goes back to Younger’s intricate directing. When Vinny starts lifting weights again in his basement with the halo on, everything is perfectly shot and edited. The sound of the halo hitting the bar, and the weights dropping to the floor are effective as hell. When you watch Vinny try and lift, part of you is rooting for him, but the other is wishing this guy would just stop. This movie really makes you think about the mindset of a professional athlete and just how insane they are. There are plenty of cringing moments, like when Vinny gets his halo removed. Yikes. The Doctor sums it up with the perfect line. The dialogue is also beautiful. Not flashy, but very direct. For an intense film, there’s plenty of well-timed humor.
There isn’t a lot to complain about. I suppose the climax could have had more oomph, but at the same time it’s not a Rocky movie. This movie does what all good “Based on a true story” movies do, which is give you a yearning to learn more. Hopefully Ben Younger doesn’t take another eleven-year hiatus in between films. If you’re a fan of sports movies, this is required viewing. If you’re a fan of movies, you should probably watch it anyway.

Forest Service, USDA.
Notice of intent to prepare a supplemental environmental impact statement to amend land and resource management plans for the Idaho Panhandle, Kootenai and Lolo National Forests.
The Forest Service will prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SETS) for Motorized Access Management within the Selkirk and Cabinet-Yaak Grizzly Bear Recovery Zones to present additional information on grizzly bear mortality and population trends and account for uncertainty in relevant grizzly bear research. The SEIS will include a detailed analysis of Alternative D Modified and Alternative E that reflect the current condition of habitat security for grizzly bears. The Notice of Availability of the Draft EIS was published in the Federal Register (66 FR 57717) on November 16, 2001 and notice of the Final EIS (67 FR 11692) was published on March 15, 2002. On March 24, 2004, the Record of Decision (ROD) was signed that amended the Forest Plans for the Kootenai, Lolo and Idaho Panhandle National Forests. The ROD amended the objectives, standards, and guidelines that address grizzly bear management within the Selkirk and Cabinet-Yaak Grizzly Bear Recovery Zones.
Alternative E was selected for implementation, with the incorporation of terms and conditions of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) Biological Opinion.
On December 13, 2006, U.S. District Court Judge Donald Molloy ruled against the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in a lawsuit brought by the Cabinet Resource Group, Great Bear Foundation, Idaho Conservation League, Natural Resources Defense Council, and Selkirk Conservation Alliance. Judge Molloy ordered that the 2002 Final Environmental Impact Statement and 2004 Record of Decision be set aside as contrary to law and that the matter be remanded to the Forest Service for preparation of a new environmental analysis that complies with 40 CFR 1502.22 (a) and (b). As a result of an action considered no longer valid, on May 17, 2007, the USFWS withdrew its Biological Opinion for the Forest Service's proposed action.
Scoping is not required for supplements to environmental impact statements (40 CFR 1 502.9(c)(4)). There was extensive public involvement in the development of the proposed action, the 2001 Draft ETS and the 2002 Final EIS, and the Forest Service is not inviting comments at this time. The agency expects to file a Draft SETS with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and make it available for public, agency and tribal government comment in July 2008. A Final SETS is expected to be filed in April 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kirsten Kaiser, Grizzly Bear Access Amendment Interdisciplinary Team Leader (406) 283-7659.
Responsible Officials: Ranotta McNair, Idaho Panhandle National Forests-Forest Supervisor; Paul Bradford, Kootenai National Forest-Forest Supervisor; and Deborah Austin, Lob National Forest-Forest Supervisor.End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information
The Forest Service will supplement the Final EIS for Motorized Access Management within the Selkirk and Cabinet-Yaak Grizzly Bear Recovery Zones to respond to the December 2006 court order. The SEIS will incorporate best and current scientific information available on grizzly bear mortality and population trends and account for the Wakkinen study's authors' uncertainty for bears' studied habitat. The SEIS will include a detailed analysis of Alternative D Modified and Alternative E that reflect the current condition of habitat security for grizzly bears. The analysis will result in a new decision that amends the Forest Plans of the Kootenai, Lolo and Idaho Panhandle National Forests; and the values that address grizzly bear management within the Selkirk and Cabinet-Yaak Recovery Zones.
The SEIS and the supporting environmental documents will be programmatic and will examine the effects of setting predetermined levels of human (motorized) access within grizzly bear recovery zones. Site-specific decisions on individual roads or trails will be addressed in project-level planning.
Purpose and Need for Action
The purpose and need for action is to amend the three Forest Plans to include a set of motorized access and security guidelines that meet the agency's responsibilities under the Endangered Species Act to conserve and contribute to recovery of grizzly bears.
More specifically, there were needs to comply with: (1) The 1994 Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee (IGBC) Task Force Report; (2) the 1995 Amended Biological Opinion and Incidental Take Statements on the Kootenai and Lob National Forest Land and Resource Management Plans; (3) the 1995 decision by the Chief of the Forest Service on the Appeal of the Kootenai Forest Plan; and (4) the Stipulations of a 2001 Settlement Agreement in a Lawsuit Challenging Implementation of the Interim Rule Set developed by the Selkirk/Cabinet-Yaak Grizzly Bear Subcommittee of the IGBC.
The Forest Supervisors are proposing to amend their respective Forest Plans regarding Forest Plan standards and monitoring requirements that respond to the recommendations of the Interim Access Management Strategy and Interim Access Management Rule Set developed by the Selkirk/Cabinet-Yaak Subcommittee of the IGBC. The decision to be made is whether to adopt the preferred alternative as designed and identified as Alterative E in the 2004 Record of Decision (ROD), or with different requirements, or to select another alternative.
This amendment would result in a new appendix to the Idaho Panhandle and Lolo National Forest Land and Start Printed Page 27491Resource Management Plans (Forest Plans). It would result in an addendum to the Kootenai National Forest, Forest Plan, Appendix 8.
Copies of the environmental documents and 2004 ROD are available on the Kootenai National Forest internet Web site at: http://www.fs.fed.us/rl/kootenai/projects/planning/documents/forest_plan/amendments/index.shtml. Documents may also be requested by contacting Kirsten Kaiser, Team Leader, at 406-283-7659.
Preliminary Issues and Alternatives
Issues raised during the comment period on the DEIS centered around three main topics: (1) grizzly bear and best available science, specifically the science that was used in the environmental analysis and by the IGBC including the biological defensibility of the 55 percent Core, 33 percent OMRD and 26 percent TMRD standards; (2) reductions in motorized public access; and (3) impacts to employment and income.
Early Notice of Environmental Review
The Forest Supervisors are giving notice that the Idaho Panhandle, Kootenai, and Lolo National Forests are supplementing an existing environmental analysis for this proposed action so that interested or affected people can participate in the analysis and contribute to the final decision. The Forest Service is seeking comments from individuals, organizations, tribal governments, and Federal, State, and local agencies that are interested or may be affected by the proposed action. The draft SETS is intended to provide additional evaluation of current information on grizzly bears, and provide that information to the public. The public is invited to help identify issues and concerns related to the preferred alternative and the supplemental analysis documented in the draft SEIS.
Estimated Dates for Filing
The draft SEIS is expected to be filed with the EPA and to be available for public review in July 2008. The comment period on the draft SEIS will be 45 days from the date the EPA publishes the Notice of Availability in the Federal Register. The draft SEIS will be distributed to all parties that received the 2002 FEIS and Record of Decision as well as to those who expressed interest.
The final SEIS is scheduled to be completed by April 2009. In the final SEIS, the Forest Service is required to respond to comments received during the comment period that pertain to the environmental consequences discussed in the draft SEIS and applicable laws, regulations, and policies considered in making a decision regarding the proposal.
The Reviewer's Obligation To Comment
The Forest Service believes it is important to give reviewers notice at this early stage of several court rulings related to public participation in the environmental review process. First, reviewers of draft environmental impact statements must structure their participation in the environmental review of the proposal so that it is meaningful and alerts an agency to the reviewer's position and contentions [Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v. NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 (1978)]. Also, environmental objections that could be raised at the draft environmental impact statement stage but that are not raised until after completion of the final environmental impact statement may be waived or dismissed by the courts [Wisconsin Heritages, Inc. v. Harris, 490 F. Supp. 1334, 1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980)]. Because of these court rulings, it is very important that those interested in this proposed action participate by the close of the 90-day comment period so that comments and objections are made available to the Forest Service at a time when it can meaningfully consider them and respond to them in the final environmental impact statement.
To assist the Forest Service in identifying and considering issues and concerns on the preferred alternative and the supplemental analysis, comments on the draft SEIS should be as specific as possible. It is also helpful if comments refer to specific pages or sections of the draft SEIS. Reviewers may wish to refer to the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for implementing the procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act at 40 CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points.Start Signature

To examine the status of acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS)-related knowledge and the way to get the knowledge among college students and to provide evidences for conducting AIDS-related health education in the students.Methods
By using cluster random sampling,we collected 800 students of grade 1 to 3 from a university in Jinzhou city of Liaoning province for an anonymous self-administered questionnaire survey.Results
Among the students,the overall awareness rate of AIDS-related knowledge was 78.76% and the awareness rate of the girls was significantly higher than that of the boys(82.35% vs.76.09%,P
<0.05).The awareness rate of AIDS prevention and treatment knowledge were 71.48%,81.35%,and 83.95% among the students of grade one,two,and three,respectively,and increased with the study years in the university(P
<0.05); the awareness rates for the three major transmission routes(sexual,blood,and vertical transmission) of human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) were all higher than 90% among the students but the awareness rate for knowledge about non-transmission routes of HIV such as whether a mosquito bite could transmit HIV was low.Of the students,64.02% manifested HIV/AIDS discrimination; 7.39% reported sexual behavior,of which,39.29% used condom in their first sexual experience,40.91% used condom in every sexual activity,and 14.29% reported commercial sexual behaviors.Conclusion
College students do not have a good knowledge about AIDS prevention and treatment and the knowledge level is different among the students of various grade,suggesting health education on AIDS control and safe sexual behavior needs to be promoted among the students.
