what do we hear from various factions of the far right, mostly conspiracies theories that the current administration is headed by a foreign born illegal alien, who wants to take their guns away, as well as all their money and convert the US into a socialist utopia/dystopia depending on your point of view of course. Our current President is by many accounts accused of being a radical Back Christian and Muslim infiltrator, who is really an atheist out to take everyone’s bible away and inculcate all school children in a homosexual lifestyle. He is variously described as a Socialist, a Communist, a Marxist, far left Progressive Liberal, trying to bring about a one world political system under the auspices of the United Nations, the Bilderberg group, the Illuminati, the Freemasons and who knows what other conspiratorial shadowy supra-governmental agencies, all for total world domination.
Not to worry, this can be covered-up, er, I mean explained away. The law of unintended consequences is a *****. Kind of like the old catalytic converters and acid rain. What happens when we arrogant humans somehow manage to change the course of the worlds weather, i.e. global warming, climate change, or what ever, and find out we've made another colossal mistake? The Homer Simpson syndrome.

Now CARB California Air Research Board has increased the non compliant truck mileage from 1000 miles a year to 5000 miles a year...More liberal "back peddling!" It seems to be running rapant here of late! I'm sure glad my truck is gone, because the ever changing laws to stay compliant in the transportation industry, were becoming even more mind boggling daily!!!

ARB announces planned changes to California’s Truck and Bus Regulation
Board to consider “good faith efforts” by truckers, offer more time to meet deadlines
SACRAMENTO - The California Air Resources Board yesterday announced that it will provide relief to truckers working to meet state deadlines for upgrades to their aging diesel fleets. The relief is detailed in a regulatory advisory which recognizes ‘good faith’ efforts of fleets to meet upcoming compliance deadlines. The advisory also provides ‘early access’ to planned regulatory changes to be considered by the Board in April 2014.
The move comes as larger fleets are required under the Statewide Truck and Bus Regulation to complete the upgrade for most of their trucks with diesel particulate filters by Jan. 1, 2014, and as smaller fleets are just beginning to undertake similar actions.
“The Air Resources Board is implementing new, flexible compliance options for truck owners who show they have made good faith efforts to comply with the regulation before Jan. 1, 2014, and is providing additional time for many fleets to complete their clean-up efforts,” said ARB Executive Officer Richard Corey. “These changes will help businesses meet the clean-up requirements in a way that will not compromise the health benefits or emissions reductions that this vitally important regulation will achieve over its lifetime.”
Funds for fleet upgrades are available to qualified applicants, including $30 million in Prop 1B grants targeted for use by small fleet owners with three or fewer trucks. In addition, state-sponsored loans through the Truck Loan Assistance Program, which recently received $20 million to help small businesses comply with the regulation, are also available. Owners of logging trucks may also be eligible for $3 million in grant monies. (For more on funding opportunities, visit: ARB TruckStop/Funding).
Next month, Air Resources Board staff will conduct workshops throughout the state to hear comments from local elected officials, industry representatives and stakeholders on staff’s planned regulatory changes. For a list of locations, click here.
Proposed amendments to the regulation, which are still under development, are expected to provide additional time for owners in specified regions to complete their clean-up efforts. Also, owners of lower-use vehicles throughout the state are expected to gain flexibility options as well.
For more information on the specified regions, what constitutes a “good faith effort” to comply with the Truck and Bus Regulation, or which fleets are being afforded with additional time to comply, truck owners are urged to view today’s advisory here: Truck and Bus Regulation Advisory.
Anyone with questions on regulatory requirements can visit ARB’s TruckStop website, call 866-6DIESEL, or email 8666Diesel@arb.ca.gov. We do ask for extra patience as call volumes are extremely high as the Jan. 1 deadline draws nearer.
Fast Facts: •Diesel exhaust contains a variety of harmful gases and over 40 other known cancer-causing compounds. In 1998, California identified diesel particulate matter as a toxic air contaminant based on its potential to cause cancer, premature death and other health problems.
•The Truck and Bus Regulation (Regulation) was adopted in 2008 to clean up harmful emissions from nearly all heavy-duty diesel trucks operating in California. The Regulation was amended in 2010 to provide economic relief to truckers affected by the recession, particularly small fleets, by delaying the first compliance requirements by one year and extending the time the truck could be operated before needing to be replaced.
•The Regulation requires most heavy trucks in California to install soot filters or upgrade to newer models with filters by Jan. 1, 2014, and that nearly all trucks have them installed by Jan. 1, 2016.
•Out of the 260,000 trucks registered in California that need a soot filter, about 140,000 are already compliant, with another approximately 100,000 using regulatory flexibility to delay their compliance date.
•About 20,000 still need filters by the end of 2013, with 5,000 of these being in large fleets.
•For small fleets (three or fewer vehicles), Jan. 1, 2014, is a critical compliance milestone because for the first time at least one vehicle in each fleet will need to comply. ARB estimates that about 15,000 vehicles in small fleets still need to retrofit or upgrade to meet this compliance deadline.
•At its October Hearing, the Board heard an update on the Regulation and agreed with staff’s proposal to move forward with a number of near-term strategies to provide flexibility while not compromising the overall reduction and health benefits to be achieved by the Regulation.
•In 2000, the ARB adopted its Diesel Risk Reduction Plan, a blueprint for developing regulations to address diesel emissions from all sources including garbage trucks, urban buses, construction equipment, port trucks and fuels. For more information, see Diesel Risk Reduction Plan
Little jerry should be grateful they are working to better the environment with cleaner air. His grandkids could benefit by cleaner air standards. But little jerry is selfish and doesn't care.
Diesel trucks are the worst polluters, outside of old man's postings.

Hey CV, what’s up, you fall down a hole or something?
I see you have been dry humping Gpa’s leg and helping him trolling one of his various cartoon Red Herrings, but not a peep in response to my last post to you. I kind expected some sort of well-founded psychological explanation of how it’s me that is a liberal conspiratorialist with a Monological Belief System? Whats up with that? I eagerly await your insightful examination of my previous post to you.

Hello Larry, I have no interest in endless banter. I ask a question an you answered, I can accept that. You made some valid points however I was not surprised at your overall position, on matters of importance, falling inline with liberalism (but I was curious to see if it would, from such a deep thinker ). No minds are going to be changed so we might as well save some key strokes. Thanks for the effort of your response.

Oh heavens some place is cold early and a couple degrees colder than average, wow.
But there seems to be a larger number or places that are warmer and by a good bit warmer than 1 or 2 degrees.
Every damn year its the same thing, it gets cold durning the winter, some winters are more or less cold than others and they don't run on an exact schedual like the trains/busses/airlines. It's called weather for a reason.

To whom it may concern! The ONLY time I've been in the Norwalk tower was when Bill Bader Sr. called me up there to congratulate me on the superb driving job I did not to hit anything or anybody and not wreck my car!!!!!
As poor "little man larry heathen" shows his true colors!!!!! He accuses me of lying but absolutely refuses to look at places where the truth is published! The East Anglican University E-mails absolutely eviscerated the HOAXERS claims showing how they lie, manipulate and manufacture data!!!!! Of course poor "little man larry heathen" could claim it was not FACTUAL because the HOAXERS hand-maidens, the left-wing lame steam moron media, refused to report anything on the subject!!!!!
Then here comes poor "little man larry heathen" beating the drum for the serial perjurer Whitewater queenie!!!!! This demonstrates once again how little respect poor "little man larry heathen" has for TRUTH and FACTS!!!!!
Poor "little man larry heathen" has to keep his nose buried in the propaganda distributed by the HOAXERS so he doesn't stumble onto REAL FACTS!!!!! Like the abnormally cold "summer" in the Arctic and the REAL FACT that there has been ZERO warming in the past 15 YEARS!!!!!
SO, apparently East Anglican University moved from Great Britain while I was not looking????? RETARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll guarantee F-ing tee anyone the hoaxees avoided finding out anything that was in these E-mails that exposed the lying, data switching and data manipulation that the HOAXERS routinely practice like they would avoid the plague!!!!! If a hoaxee had they wouldn't be a duped boob hoaxee after that, they'd have seen the LIGHT!!!!! The doofus that was really blown out of the water by the E-mails pulled a variation of President Richard M. Nixon's "I'm not a crook!" Except he didn't deny really being a crook, just that the E-Mails made him look like a BIGGER crook!!!!! Naturally the hoaxees swallowed this bull shyt WHOLE like they swallow all of the HOAXERS propaganda!!!!!!
