(AP Photo/Mel Evans, File)

PAULSBORO, N.J. (AP) ? A New Jersey bridge where a train derailed last week, releasing a hazardous chemical into the air, had a series of rail alignment problems leading up to the derailment, the National Transportation Safety Board's top official said Monday.

Some of the problems were reported the day before Friday's derailment.

NTSB chairman Deborah Hersman said her agency has a lot more work to do before determining the cause of the accident. "Nothing has been ruled out," Hersman said.

And one important part of the investigation ? a thorough inspection of the bridge and the derailed cars ? must wait until crews can remove all the hazardous vinyl chloride from the area.

That work, too, paused Monday when vinyl chloride detection in the air nearby twice reached an unsafe level of more than one part per million. Residents were told at 6 a.m. and again at 6 p.m. to shelter in place, an order that effectively shut down the town and forced a halt to cleanup work at the spill site.

The earlier warning, which lasted five hours, led to school being canceled and businesses being closed.

The NTSB has been interviewing witnesses and investigating records, including details of a 2009 derailment of a coal train on the bridge, which is blamed on a misalignment of tracks. Hersman also said the agency is looking into the 23 "trouble tickets" about problems with the bridge over the past year. Hersman said nine of the reported problems came between Oct. 27 and Nov. 29.

She said some of the problems were minor, such as debris on the bridge and burned-out lights. But she said two involved problems with the signals or alignment.

The bridge, across the Delaware River from Philadelphia International Airport, swings out to the side to make way for recreational boaters in Mantua Creek below. Hersman said that the default position from March through November is to be open to boats. To be able to cross the bridge, train operators are to punch in a radio code that's supposed to make it close.

She said that at 3:15 a.m. Thursday, a crew found that rails on the single-track bridge were about four inches out of alignment. She said it was only after several tries that the radio code finally worked so that the bridge's four sliding locking mechanisms were was fully in place and the signal turned green, allowing them to cross.

Hersman said Conrail officials spent about two hours that day working on the bridge.

After they left, she said, four trains crossed without problems.

The last one went over around 11:15 p.m. Hersman said there was no problem getting over the bridge, but the train crew received an automated voice message from the bridge a few minutes after crossing: "Bridge failed to operate," the voice said. She said that could mean that the bridge did not fully reopen after the train passed.

The next train to approach was the one that derailed.

Hersman said crew followed its proper protocol upon seeing a red signal, though she did not say whether that protocol should be changed. The engineer tried the radio code several times and the conductor looked at the bridge to see that it looked passable.

Only after that, she said, the engineer called a dispatcher and asked for and received permission to cross despite the red light.

The two locomotives and six cars crossed safely, but the next seven cars derailed.

NTSB spokesman Terry Williams said the agency is looking into whether the dispatcher who gave permission to cross was following railroad rules correctly.

Bob Comer, an Ohio-based investigator of train accidents and frequent critic of the U.S. railroad industry, said there were several problems with the way things played out in Paulsboro.

"The engineer and conductor are not qualified to determine whether the bridge is safe," he said "The fact that some dispatcher told them to cross, that is outright negligence."

A spokesman for Conrail, which owns and operates the train track, did not immediately return a call on Monday.

Senate Bill 863 could save employers millions in workers' comp ...

Employers Hopeful for California Workers? Comp Reform

By Don Jergler | December 3, 2012

Editor?s Note: This is the third in a series of articles to look at California?s workers? compensation reform law in detail and what must be done to implement that law by Jan. 1, 2013.

Looking forward employers seem to have weathered the latest round of workers? compensation reforms well ? although the clich? ?the devil is in the details? is apropos enough to be tossed out.

Like the seven-year itch, the system requires massive, sometimes painful, reform every so often. The last reforms in 2003 and 2004 were ushered in by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger?s administration. This time it was Gov. Jerry Brown who issued a mandate to Department of Industrial Relations Director Christine Baker to get a deal done in negotiations that were limited to labor and a group of large, self-insured employers.

The result was Senate Bill 863, and many employers expressed optimism that the new law can save them on their workers? comp premiums and that regulations needed to give the law teeth can be hammered out by the Jan. 1 deadline.

In the last few weeks seven regulations have been made public, though they are far from being approved, and some of those regulations are nearly as complex as the massive workers? comp reform legislation itself, which at one point was more than 150 pages long.

Sean McNally, one of the employers who sat in on negotiations and helped hammer out a deal that was approved just as the year?s legislative session was ending, was obviously bullish on what the new law promises.

In fact, he believes the new law ?could just be a real game changer,? and said that if it works the way it?s designed, ?I think could be just a paradigm change, really.?

McNally, vice president of corporate and government affairs for Grimmway Farms in Bakersfield, was also involved in the Schwarzenegger negotiations. Grimmway, a large agricultural producer with about 4,400 workers in California, saw significant savings following the passage of Schwarzenegger-backed Senate Bill 899 in 2004.

Not long afterward, however, those savings began to erode, McNally said.

?I?d say we had a 50 percent reduction in cost after 899,? said McNally, who noted the self-insured company manages its workers? comp cases ?aggressively and proactively.?

Despite taking a tough stance on workers? comp cases as a company policy, costs began to escalate for firms like Grimmway as reform savings were eroded by judicial decisions, changes to the system and escalating medical costs, he said.

?I think that we lost probably almost half of the savings of what we accomplished with 899,? McNally said.

McNally declined to give actual costs, but offered a hypothetical comparison of Grimmway?s workers? comp costs that he said were to scale. Hypothetically Grimmway?s workers? comp costs following the Schwarzenegger reforms went from $10 million down to $5 million, he said. Then they slowly began to grow, reaching from $7.5 million to $8 million this year, he said.

?I?m hoping we get back to $6.5 million,? he said.

Peru asks UN court to set sea border with Chile

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) ? The Peruvian government asked the United Nations' highest court Monday to set a maritime border between Peru and Chile, in a case that could greatly expand the amount of rich seas under Peru's control off the two Andean neighbors' Pacific coasts.

Peru launched the case at the International Court of Justice in 2008, arguing that there has never been a maritime boundary established and that two agreements Chile claims set the border are non-binding and merely denoted some fishing zones. Chile insists the border was clearly set in treaties signed in 1952 and 1954.

Chile and Peru are among the world's top producers of fishmeal, and the waters off their coasts are an important source of income for both countries. If Peru wins, it could gain control over more than 60,000 square kilometers (23,166 square miles) of ocean that Chile has controlled for the last 60 years.

Peru is presenting its arguments Monday and Tuesday. Chile will respond Thursday and Friday.

Peru lawyer Alain Pellet told the court there is "a flagrant lack of any maritime delimitation" between the two countries and that Chile's proposed border "radically cuts off Peru's access to the high seas."

Pellet said Peru wants the 16-judge court to draw a line that will equally divide the sea off the two countries' coasts based on established international law. "Peru asks neither more nor less than the laws of the sea grant to all coastal states," he said.

Peru and Bolivia waged a joint war against Chile from 1879-1884 and lost badly, with Chile seizing a chunk of southern Peru as well as all of Bolivia's coastline. Chile has long held that all border questions were resolved by several 20th century treaties.

Chilean President Sebastian Pinera last week said the long-awaited case in The Hague boils down to defending "a cause that belongs to us all, such as defense of our oceans ... and our sovereignty."

Chilean representative Maria Teresa Infante Caffi told reporters outside the courtroom that her country's standpoint was not changed by Peru's arguments. "The central point for Chile is the existence and validity of the limits that were established through bilateral agreements between the two countries," she said.

Rulings by the world court are final and binding.

Luke's Fitness Blog: WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY NOT A SOLUTION ...

A new study shows that weight loss surgery is not effective in battling type two diabetes. I have previously discussed that diabetes infliction in the United States is increasing rapidly. I have also discussed the fact that the infliction of diabetes has been tied to the intake of junk food. The fact that weight loss surgery is not effective against diabetes should dissuade the many people, who have weight loss surgery as a way of battling the disease, from such surgeries.
A group of doctors published the most recent study in the journal for obesity surgery (an online abstract of the study may be read here). The study followed roughly 4,400 diabetics, each of whom had undergone gastric bypass surgery, for a period of ten years. ?Roughly 56 percent of these patients had no long term remission of their diabetes. These findings are significant due to the fact that many patients see weight loss surgery as a "cure all" for their weight problems and all of the health associated issues that stem from obesity. The fact that a health problem such as diabetes is likely to continue after weight loss surgery?should lead to people to nutritional and fitness based solutions, especially when one considers that?many who have surgery gain the weight back. ? Weight loss surgery should not be seen as a solution to obesity and obesity related health problems. Such procedures deal with symptoms of larger issues and not the issues that cause obesity. When you consider that many obese people eat past the point of being full then weight loss surgery is not a solution; such people will continue eating past the artificial point of "feeling full" that the surgery gives them. People must get to the cause of why the overeat in the first place and such is the only way to truly deal with their personal obesity issues.

Lifestyle change is a more effective than surgery in fighting diabetes

Doctors will often claim that surgery or medicines are the only path to weight loss. Each of our weight loss success stories have gained their success through lifestyle change. As a result, our clients have now tackled the core issues that caused their weight gain and do not face any of the side effects or risks that go along with a medical approach.?

News Release - Institute for International Economics

December 3, 2012

Contact:???

Brian Reil???

WASHINGTON?The Peterson Institute for International Economics is pleased to announce the Eclipse: Living in the Shadow of China's Economic Dominance? (2011), by Arvind Subramanian, has been named one of the three Best Books of 2012 by China Business News. Subramanian, a senior fellow at the Institute and at the Center for Global Development, shares this year's Best Book honor with Henry Kissinger for his book, On China, and with Zhou Xiaochuan, the governor of the Central Bank of China, for his book, The Global Financial Crisis: Observations, Analysis and Countermeasures. The award was presented during China Business News's annual conference in Beijing on November 24. Eclipse was published by the Peterson Institute and has been translated into Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish (forthcoming). There are more than 100,000 copies in print worldwide.

"We are extremely proud that Arvind's book has been recognized with this award for its important discussion of China's ascendance as an economic power," said C. Fred Bergsten, director of the Peterson Institute. "The award demonstrates that Arvind's historical and political analysis is spurring debate and discussion throughout the world, not just in the United States. He is in very good company with Dr. Kissinger and Governor Zhou!"

In the book Subramanian argues that China's global economic dominance is likely to be more imminent, broader in scope, and larger in magnitude than is generally believed. He explains this dominance as a product of historical forces, economic policies and objectives put forward by China, and argues that the United States cannot do much to alter the trend. This conclusion challenges a widely held view that the right set of economic policies can retain the United States' position as the most economically powerful nation in the world.

China Business News, one of China's leading daily newspapers, is based in Shanghai. The award selection was made by a jury of influential Chinese academics, international economists, and finance executives. The other contenders for Best Book honors included Daniel Yergin's, The Quest: Energy, Security and the Remaking of the Modern World , Robert Shiller's Finance and the Good Society, former World Bank chief economist Justin Lin's The Quest for Prosperity: How Developing Countries Can Take Off, and Nobel Prize winning economist Michael Spence's The Next Convergence: The Future of Economic Growth in a Multi-Speed World.

Scandals: #4 General David Petraeus affair

The resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus, a respected former general who oversaw American forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, placed highly on our list. An FBI investigation revealed that Petraeus had an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. The story eventually tied in Florida socialite Jilly Kelley (who had received threatening e-mails from Broadwell), a shirtless FBI agent, and Gen. John Allen, who exchanged thousands of e-mails with Kelley.
