News Alert: New York Times/CBS News Poll Finds Deep Pessimism About American Economy
The New York Times
Thu, April 21, 2011 -- 6:30 PM ET
-----
New York Times/CBS News Poll Finds Deep Pessimism About American Economy
Americans are more pessimistic about the nation's economic
outlook and overall direction than they have been at any time
since President Obama's first two months in office, when the
country was still officially ensnared in the Great Recession,
according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
At a time of rising gas prices, stubborn unemployment and a
cacophonous debate in Washington over the federal
government's ability to meet its future obligations, the poll
presents stark evidence that the slow, if unsteady, gains in
public confidence earlier this year that a recovery was under
way are now all but gone.

June Deadline Set for End to Globe Fire Sprinkler Model J Sprinkler Recall
Property Owners Should Act Now To Request Replacement of Sprinkler Heads
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Globe Fire Sprinkler Corp. are urging residential and commercial property owners who have model J dry-type series fire sprinklers covered under the previously-announced recall and have not yet filed a claim to replace them, to contact Globe Fire Sprinkler immediately. Home and commercial property owners should immediately submit their claim, as the program for receiving replacement heads will end on June 1, 2011.
The voluntary replacement program, which was first announced in June 2007, included about 300,000 model J series dry fire sprinklers manufactured by Globe Fire Sprinkler due to a concern that these sprinklers can deteriorate over time and can fail to operate in a fire situation.
To participate in the replacement sprinkler program, property owners must submit "Proof of Claim" and "Waiver and Release of Claims" forms to Globe Fire Sprinkler Corporation postmarked by June 1, 2011. Valid claims received prior to the deadline will qualify for replacement sprinkler heads.
Consumers can obtain the claim forms, additional information on identifying the sprinklers covered by this recall and instructions on filing a claim by visiting www.globesprinkler.com or by calling Globe Fire Sprinkler Corporation at (800) 248-0278 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
This deadline relates only to the Globe model J dry type sprinklers recalled on June 12, 2007. It does not involve additional models of sprinklers other than those named in the June 2007 recall announcement. Building owners need not take any further action if they have: (1) had replacement sprinklers installed by Globe Fire Sprinkler; (2) submitted a claim to Globe Fire Sprinkler that has been deemed complete and installation of the replacement heads is pending; or (3) confirmed that their sprinkler heads are not covered by the Globe Fire Sprinkler model J dry type recall. Building owners who have previously submitted an incomplete claim will be sent a reminder notice reminding them to send in any missing information or materials by the June 1, 2011 deadline or else their claim will be void.
Globe Fire Sprinkler Corp. urges all other building owners to consult with their fire sprinkler installer and/or check their system records as soon as possible to determine whether their sprinkler heads are covered by this program.

What tales they tell of their former lives, these old bones of sirenians, relatives of today's dugongs and manatees.
And now, geologists have found, they tell of the waters in which they swam.
While researching the evolutionary ecology of ancient sirenians--commonly known as sea cows--scientist Mark Clementz and colleagues unexpectedly stumbled across data that could change the view of climate during the Eocene Epoch, some 50 million years ago.

Maybe you're going to work, visiting a mall or attending an event at a sports stadium, and you're in a rush. Limited and small available spots and concrete pillars make parking a challenge. And it happens that day: you slightly misjudge a corner and you can hear the squeal as you scratch the side of your car--small scratches, but large anticipated repair costs.
