High Performance Solid Surface
When it comes to durability, Swanstone is the best high-performance solid surface for both residential and commercial applications - and we can prove it.
Impervious To Chemicals!
Swanstone withstands prolonged exposure to common corrosive solvents like gasoline, acids like nail polish remover and bases like Drano.
Any stain can easily be removed with common household cleaners.
Impact Resistant!
Swanstone has the best impact resistance in the cast polymer industry - up to five times stronger.
As a result, pound for pound - and pounding after pounding - Swanstone solid surface stands up to heavy duty abuse far beyond daily use.
Withstands Heat!
Swanstone withstands prolonged heat up to 450°.
Hot pots, boiling water, and curling irons cannot burn or harm Swanstone sinks, counters or vanity tops - cultured marble and other solid surface can't say that.

text: UNION GAP, Wash.-- Union Gap school leaders are adding some new security measures to help keep students safe. Police officers will start conducting random patrols at Union Gap School. Essentially, the new patrols are going to add a increased sense of security and a visible law enforcement presence at the school. It's a move that police and district officials say is good for everyone and something Juan Duenas says is a good idea. "We don't know if something's going to happen here, but I think it's better to have somebody to keep an eye out because you never know," Duenas said. Juan is a father of three, and all his kids went through Union Gap School. So, when he heard about a new plan to bring on-duty police officers to campus, he welcomed the idea. Starting as early as next week, Union Gap police will have a new satellite office inside the school, giving officers the chance to drop by for a variety of reasons. "That would provide a random, unpredictable presence at the school anytime school's in session," said Interim Police Chief Greg Cobb. Cobb says officers won't be dedicated or assigned to specific patrols at the school. Instead, they'll all have access so they can stop by whenever they want. "Makes it really unpredictable and I think helps the community feel safe about having that presence here," said Si Stuber, Union Gap School assistant principal. And other than the cost for a computer in the office, the program won't cost taxpayers a dime."We've done everything we can here at our school to make it as safe as possible, and this is just another step in that process," Stuber said. Both the Union Gap City Council and the school district voted unanimously to start the program. District officials say the traditional student resource officer was cut from their budget this year, so bringing in the patrols is great news.

Davis City Council soundly rejected a proposal to fluoridate the citys drinking water in a 4-1 vote late Tuesday after facing heavy opposition from city residents and fearing that anger over the additive could derail Davis larger plans to draw water from the Sacramento River.
Voters in March passed Measure I, authorizing city leaders to move ahead on the two-city Surface Water Project with Woodland to augment existing groundwater supplies starting in 2016. But opponents said voters learned only after the election that fluoride could be added.
Many citizens felt betrayed, that (Davis) may be adding something to the water, said Alan Pryor, who leads Davis Citizens Against Fluoridation, in the weeks before the Tuesday vote. Its truly a moral issue. People were told we would get pure, clean water. They did not give consent to mass medication.
Davis leaders Tuesday seemed aware that fluoride concerns could undermine the overall project.
This is one issue thats not 50-50 10-to-1, people are begging us not to put this in the water ... A lot of people did not expect fluoride. Im not willing to risk the water project, Councilwoman Rochelle Swanson said, adding the citys charge was to provide good, clean, reliable water to our city. I dont think fluoride is a component of that.
Nowhere was there mention of fluoridation of the water supply in the argument for Measure I, said Councilman Lucas Frerichs, who along with Mayor Joe Krovoza helped draft the supporting ballot argument. Both voted Tuesday against adding fluoride to city water.
It feels almost like a bait-and-switch, Frerichs said. Its pretty frustrating that fluoridation comes up now.
Only Councilman Dan Wolk voted to fluoridate Davis water supply, calling the plan an obligation to protect childrens dental health, particularly those in households with limited access to dental care.
Fluoride is the right decision, Wolk said. I really believe we have a policy obligation to these children.
His motion was met with silence.
The councils vote came after more than an hour of public comment and months of meetings and debate that laid bare the deep divide on the issue. On Tuesday, fluoridation opponents sporting decals of the letter F crossed out by a red slash sat shoulder-to-shoulder with supporters bearing their own decals that declared, Its time for fluoride in our water.
Supporters say adding fluoride to drinking water is a matter of public health, helping to ensure the oral health of thousands of the citys residents. Tuesday night, proponents included prominent school and civic officials, as well as health professionals.
They cited decades of research and the endorsement of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which considers fluoridating drinking water one of the 10 great public health achievements of the last century in the United States. Close to 75 percent of Americans live in communities with fluoridated water, according to the CDC, and fluoridation has been endorsed by U.S. surgeons general for a half-century. Local cities with fluoridated water include Sacramento and West Sacramento.
In recent months, fluoridation had earned local recommendations from the Yolo County Board of Supervisors and Davis own Water Advisory Committee. But it also met with a high-profile defeat in Portland, Ore., earlier this year.
Fluoridation is safe, effective and cost-effective, said Davis dentist Kim Wallace, a member of a Yolo County Health Council subcommittee who helped lead the argument for fluoridation. Showing slides of children with severe dental decay, Wallace said, This is happening right now in Davis.
Fluoridation, he said, is certainly affordable for the city, adding that theres enough room in our existing rate structure that we can do this.
Fluoride opponents rejected the claims, calling fluoridation harmful to people, the environment and water supply and costly to ratepayers. They said fluoride contaminates water supplies and can lead to fluorosis, a condition that causes damage to tooth enamel and bones by overexposure to the additive.
Pryor said the vast majority of fluoride added to city water would end up on lawns and down drains, calling instead for more focused efforts to combat dental decay.
Adding fluoride at the water projects planned treatment plant would have cost the city as much as $301,000 before yearly operating costs, according to preliminary city estimates.
Meantime, Davis officials estimated costs anywhere from $837,000 to more than $2 million to add fluoride to the citys six deep wells part of the network of wells that now furnish water to Davis residents. Operation and maintenance costs were expected to add nearly $181,000 more to the costs. Fluoridation costs would have added about $2 per month to residential customers water bills, according to a city staff report.
Many others queued up to condemn the plan as an undue government intrusion and a widespread medication of Davis residents.
You have the power to put this mineral in our water, but you dont have the right to put this mineral in our bodies, Alan Miller of Davis said after his walk to the podium. Sometimes the best way to do the right thing is not to exercise your power.
One fluoride opponent, Jeff Boone, a managing director at Davis-based small business lender California Statewide CDC, pledged $10,000 toward the purchase of a mobile dental van in lieu of adding fluoride to the drinking water.
Lets get creative, Boone said.
Tuesdays vote is not expected to affect Woodland, said Dennis Diemer, general manager of Woodland-Davis Clean Water Agency, the joint powers authority overseeing the Surface Water Project. Woodland has not yet decided whether it will fluoridate its water suppl6,y and the project is designed so that either one of the cities can add fluoride anytime in the future, Diemer said.
In Davis, fluoridation appears unlikely for now.
I really believe the council looked at the wealth of data and made an intelligent, rational decision with the evidence they had, Pryor said. They looked to the science and listened to the citizens. They promised them good, clean water.
Call The Bees Darrell Smith, (916) 321-1040.

Inspiration: Yellow Daffodils from Trader Joe's
We recently bought a few bunches of daffodils from Trader Joe's for just $1.29 each and have been inspired ever since. The pretty blooms and soft yet bold yellow color simply made us happy and we really enjoyed walking into your space and seeing them hanging out on our table. The yellow of the flowers reminded us of...
...the very vibrant mimosa color pick for 2009. We started introducing yellow accents in the last few years and have caught on and are holding on tightly. Whether it's by way of neat chairs, a yellow floor or a very simple yet visual headboard, pops of yellow can be a great addition to your design style.
Check out more color ideas from Apartment Therapy:

I found these at Trader Joe's too!! Such a deal for a pop of yellow.
Please take that apostrophe out of the hed!!
No excuse!
Yet another reason I miss Trader Joe's--I used to buy them by the bunches!

You Need Javascript To Use This Site
Please consider upgrading your browser to Google Chrome. It's free, takes less than a minute to set up and will give you the best possible experience on this, and many other sites.
When will you get [blank] back in stock?
Sometimes items are limited to quantities the artist has requested, so not all shirts or CDs will always be reprinted. If an item does go out of stock, generally it will be restocked within 1-2 months, as it takes some time for us to contact the artist regarding the reprint, then get the shirts actually printed. We unfortunately cannot respond to individual emails asking when a product will be back in stock/if it will be restocked, as the answer is usually "we're waiting for a decision to be made/waiting for them to be printed/they'll be back when we get them delivered to us". We/the artist will usually annouce on Twitter/Tumblr/Facebook when something has been restocked, so keep an eye on those for the latest!
Each non-shirt item page has a place to enter your email if you wish to be notified when it is back in stock.
The shipping charge in my cart is different from the shipping charge in PayPal. Why?
PayPal does this funny thing where they think they know what we want to charge customers for shipping. This means that as soon as you either log in to PayPal or enter your information on their site, they ping your IP to find out where you are and the shipping they display changes based on that info. Fortunately, we are able to override this- once you've entered your information in PayPal (either by logging in or through guest checkout- either way it is through PayPal), you'll be returned to DFTBA where your shipping charge will display properly again and you will only be charged what is on the final page before you click "complete order".
I am having issues with your site/I can't view my cart/I can't add items to my cart. Help?
99% of the time someone emails us with an issue concerning the ordering process, it's because their internet browser needs to be updated. Our site does not play very well with Internet Explorer, and we recommend using the latest versions of Firefox or Google Chrome for the best results in using our site.
I emailed you guys but haven't received a response? Should I email again?
There are a few reasons you may have not received a response.
1) The question you've asked is answered here in the FAQs.
2) We answer emails in the order they are received- we may have not gotten to yours yet.
3) We did email back but your email client thought it was spam so it was put in your spam folder or bounced back. We always try twice to send an email if we get a notice that it was viewed as spam, but sometimes email clients are picky. Make sure to add email@example.com to your address book to ensure you receive corrospondance from us.
4) You didn't email us, but instead emailed email@example.com. This email address is not monitored and emails sent here will not be seen.
5) You sent us something that did not require a response.
6) Your email was sorted by our client as spam. We do our best to keep this from happening, but if your email address has a history of sending spam, we can't ensure that it won't be sorted into there.
If you do not receive a response, we don't recommend emailing again. Emails are answered in the order they are received, and if your email is pertaining to customer service/an issue with your order, we will get to it.
How do I redeem a gift certificate?
During the checkout process, after you enter PayPal, there will be a link to redeem a gift certificate or discount code. Click the link, then enter the gift certificate code you receive in your gift certificate email notification.
Where is my order?
We always strive to get your orders to you in a timely fashion. We process orders Monday-Friday (excluding American holidays) to get your items out as quickly as possible.
If you ordered an item but have not received a shipment notice yet, there are a few things you'll want to check before emailing us:
1) Is your item a pre-order or backorder? Check the product page, and any pre-order/backorder items will have a nice big red notice on them as to the status of the item and when we expect to get them in. If you ordered anything else alongside a pre-order or backorder item, or multiple pre-order/backorder items together, it will be shipped when the last product is available.
2) Did the shipment email get sent to spam? Some email clients get picky, and an automated email like the one from our servers can get caught and put into spam.
3) Is it a weekend? We process orders Monday-Friday in the mornings- so for example if you've placed your order Friday afternoon, it will be set to process Monday morning.
If you live in the United States, shipping takes generally 7-21 business days depending on where you live, however orders traveling to Hawaii and Alaska may take anywhere from 14-24 business days. International orders take anywhere from 3-8 weeks, depending on your location. At the time of shipping, you should receive a shipment notification email- if you do not receive one, please check your spam folders before emailing us. Domestic orders will contain a delivery confirmation number, which while it does not display step-by-step tracking, does update and confirm once a parcel has been delivered.
International customers, you will not be able to track your items.
Some countries charge an import tax and will hold your item, so if an item has not arrived within that time frame, you may want to check with your customs office to see if they have it. Other times, an item was a pre-order and will not ship until the date stated on the item page. We do our best to stay on top of world events, but sometimes unavoidable delays in mail service crop up for one reason or another. If you are aware of such issues in your country, please be patient as these things tend to sort themselves out in a few weeks.
Unfortunately, we don't control the postal system, and delays can happen from time to time that are simply out of our hands. Please just be patient and try contacting your postal or customs office to see if they have it. Once we've shipped a package, it is out of our hands and in the postal system's.
If your order does not arrive within the above specified timeframes, email email@example.com.
How will my order be shipped/is there an invoice included?
CD/buttons/wristband orders are shipped in a bubble mailer. CD/shirt or shirt-only orders are packed in a poly-mailer, with the shirt wrapped around the CDs for protection. Posters are rolled and packed in cardboard tubes taped on each end. Vinyls are packed in sturdy cardboard boxes. Mugs are wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped in sturdy boxes.
To save paper, we do not include invoices in orders. Instead, a packing list is printed on the shipping label on the front of the package.
Can I add/remove/edit an item in my order after it's been placed?
We cannot add or remove items from an order once it has been placed. To edit an order in any way, we will need to cancel the entire order and have you re-place it. To cancel an order for editing purposes, just email us.
How long will it take my order to ship?
We ship out orders on a Monday-Friday afternoon schedule, packing the morning prior. We ship out on these days without fail, excluding postal holidays. If your order contains a pre-order item, it will not ship until the pre-ordered item is released. We ship via Parcel Post Domestic/First Class International only. We do not offer Priority or Express shipping options.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping rates can be found on our shipping information page! If you can't find what you're looking for there, simply add the items to your cart and proceed to PayPal without completing checkout.
Do you ship partial orders?
We are unable to ship partial orders. Any orders containing a pre-ordered item will not ship until the pre-ordered item is released. This helps save both us and you on shipping costs.
Why am I being charged now for preorder items?
It is our policy to make sure payments clear before shipping out any items. We do this by processing the payment upon checkout. If an echeck or payment is declined, your order will not be shipped.
Are tracking numbers available/why doesn't my tracking number work?
Upon shipment of your order, you should receive an email notifying you. These get snagged by spam folders sometimes, so be sure to take a peek in there if you believe your order should have already shipped. Tracking numbers are only available for domestic customers, which can be used at http://www.ups-mi.net/packageID/.
International customers: the number in your shipment email is only a customs ID number. You will not be able to track your package using this number.
Is expedited shipping available?
We do not offer expedited shipping at this time. We only ship via Parcel Post/First Class International mail.
I don't think you ship to my country/school/small town...
If you have an address, we ship to it!
I need to change my shipping address!
To change a shipping address, email email@example.com as soon as you realize the error. Be sure to include the new address in your initial email to expedite the process. We are unable to request reroutes of packages once it has been shipped.
You are responsible for making sure your shipping address is correct before your order is processed. We cannot reship any order until it returns to our offices.
Please note: Because of the difference in price between domestic and international shipping, and PayPal's limitations on shipping to countries besides your own, we are unable to change domestic addresses to international or international to domestic.
Can you ship to my address if it is written in a language other than English?
Unfortunately, no. Our system cannot process non-English characters, so we aren't able to print the labels in any other language. If you submit an address containing non-English characters, the postal service will enter it into a translator and ship to the translated address. Our recommendation is that you enter your shipping address pre-translated, or email us the translation so we can make sure it is as accurate as possible.
What is your refund/return policy?
Check out our returns page!
How do I cancel my order?
To cancel an order, email email@example.com AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. We cannot cancel orders that have already been shipped. See our shipping schedule above. Be sure to include any necessary information pertaining to your order, including name, shipping address or email address connected to your PayPal account if it differs from the name/email address you are contacting us from.
Why do you only accept PayPal?
First, it's safe, for both you and us. With PayPal handling the transaction, we never see your bank account information, and you never see ours. This means every order is secure, and customers can feel confident when ordering that their data remains theirs.
Can I buy from your site in a currency other than US Dollars?
PayPal does all the converting for both you and us, so YES!
Can I place an order/get help over the phone?
We do not currently offer ordering or customer assistance over the phone.
Where is DFTBA Records located? Can I buy something at the physical location?
DFTBA Records is located in Missoula, MT. We do not allow purchases to be made at our physical warehouse.
Why am I being charged additional fees on my order?
Lots of countries charge extra taxes on importing goods. They don't always do this, and they're spotty about when, why and how. We know for sure that the UK states that packages valued less than £15 (About $23 USD) are exempt from VATs (source: http://dft.ba/ukVAT). When we mark the value on customs forms, we do not include shipping costs, only the cost of the actual item.
We find it extremely annoying, but unfortunately we can't keep track of how each country does it. But please note that you may be charged taxes upon import of your items. Please do not ask us to mark your package as a gift, as we need to follow the rules and fill out each customs form correctly. If we don't fill out the forms this way, we risk having the shipment returned to us or being prohibited from shipping to that country.
My order arrived and something I ordered was missing/the wrong product was in it. What do I do?
We pack all of our orders by hand, so human error does happen sometimes. If your order arrives and not everything was inside or you received a product you did not order, simply email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we can get you sorted.
Note for shirt orders: If you think we sent you the wrong cut of shirt, please first consult our shirt information page before contacting us.
My order arrived but something was damaged. What can be done about this?
While we do our best to make sure the products we send you are in tip-top shape, sometimes things like holes in shirt armpits sneak past us or the postal service decides to be particularly brutal on a package. If a t-shirt arrives and is damaged, email us and we will do our best to replace it if we can.
CDs can sometimes be damaged in transit as well, although we are only able to offer replacements for digipacks and slip cases. Jewel cases are fragile and often end up being cracked again and again, and we can't afford to replace them. The exception to this is if the CD itself has been cracked, or the booklet has been damaged.
Posters, wristbands, vinyl and other products are on a case-by-case basis and depend on the damage and stock levels at the time. We cannot replace items that arrive safely but break or are damaged at any point afterward.
All items that arrive damaged need to be reported within 30 days of purchase or 10 days or delivery, whichever comes last. If you do not contact us regarding damage within this timeframe, you will be uneligable to receive a replacement or refund.
Contact us at email@example.com to have your damage assessed (we may ask for photos) and see if we can offer a replacement.
I didn't get a digital download and was supposed to. Help?
First thing you'll want to do is have a look in your spam or junk folders. Sometimes automated emails from us get put there by mistake. If you still cannot find your digital download, send us an email.
What brand of shirts do you print on?
For information on shirts, including size charts and how to find the best size for you, see our shirt information page. We state on each product page the brand of shirt printed on, and include a size chart. We try to make the shirt brand as big and obvious on the product page as possible to prevent any confusion.
Please note that different brands have different size charts- PLEASE make sure to double check the size chart of a particular item if it is a brand you have not ordered before.
What should I do if I see someone using your designs and selling them?
There have been a surprising and unfortunate number of designs stolen from DFTBA Records. We know that people might not realize that what they're doing is wrong, but it is. We love it when people design their own shirts, but our designers and our artists work very hard on our designs and we don't like to see them being sold elsewhere. Please let us know if you see a DFTBA Records design on sale at Etsy or Redbubble or Spreadshirt or CafePress by emailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com and including a link to either the product sale page or the seller's page.
I am a musician/artist or know a musician/artist. How do I/they get signed to DFTBA?
DFTBA Records currently operates on an invite-only basis. We do frequently prowl the "DFTBA Records" and "DFTBA" tags of Tumblr, and if we see something we like, we will most certainly reach out to you!
I have ideas for shirt/poster/etc designs! How can I submit them/get them printed?
We're always on the lookout for super awesome designs to print on shirts or make into posters! Please don't email us design ideas, as we generally don't have enough time to sort through and respond to all of them. BUT, we love finding designs on sites like Tumblr done by artists- be sure to tag "DFTBA Records" and we'll be sure to see it. If we are interested in putting your design into production, we'll contact you!
Can I interveiw someone at DFTBA for my class assignment/ newspaper/ blog/ superfamousinternetshow?
Maybe. If we have the time, we certainly like helping out students, but that said we are a small company and can't always do those kinds of things. Email us with your questions and we will do our best to answer them if we can.
We cannot give out personal contact information for any of our artists for any reason, however a number of our artists have Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook and personal websites from which they can be contacted.
What if I have more questions?
We'd be more than happy to field any more questions. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. When emailing, please remember that you are talking to a real person and not a machine. Don't forget to be awesome.
DFTBA Records was named "Best Online Record Label of the Year" by Mashable.com!

Pollution. Its become a fact of life in our modern world. Unlike the less-industrialized times of years gone by, everything we come into contact with bears the brunt of pollution. The food we eat is processed and is laden with chemical. We breathe air that is full of toxins and pollution. Even the soil that yields our crops is tainted with chemical pollution. Our livestock are fed growth hormones, chemical and drugs, and that in turn is passed on to us in the food supply. Our bodies absorb chemicals from colognes, deodorants, hair products, cleaning supplies, our cars, and our pets. Our fragile bodies are constantly exposed to pollution, whether we realize it or not. This pollution ends up in your cells, is transported throughout your unsuspected body, and ends up in your colon.
The colon was designed probably billions of years ago when pollution was not an issue. These toxic man-made pollutants provide a challenge for an uninformed colon to expel. The effect is that a lot of these yucky toxins become lodged in the colon, seeping into tiny nooks and crannies, and eventually, this intestinal garbage forms a layer on the inside of your colon, known as mucoid plaque. This offensive mucoid plaque makes your body work harder to absorb vital nutrients and little by little, it poisons your body.
This slowly accumulating layer of toxic refuse may take many years to build up, but you can guarantee that is it there. You may experience some of the symptoms of mucoid plaque that you attribute to other causes. You may start experiencing frequent tiredness, frequent headaches, a weakened immune system that causes you to get sick very easily, and you may get skin problems. A dirty colon may manifest itself through unexplained and unsightly weight gain, or a bloated feeling accompanied by painful gas. Your abdomen may show signs of protruding, and your vision may start to be effected. Most people just dismiss these symptoms as signs of aging — but these symptoms and others are actually signs of a typical colon in distress and in dire need of a serious cleansing!
Many physicians and other health care professionals swear by colon cleansing, not only for relief of these symptoms, but also for overall optimal health and well-being. Poisonously toxic impacted fecal matter may be the culprit behind many of your common maladies as you age, and colon cleansing can do wonders to restore your former vitality and it makes your entire body function better.
Not only is impacted fecal matter (possibly years or even decades old) being stored in your colon, but many people are surprised to find that colon cleansing also reveals parasites that have been living in their colon, feasting on vital nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that your body needs. There are thousands of sickening parasites that thrive in the human colon. When a colon is weakened or is not in its optimal health, these dirty little buggers can cause serious damage and eventually make you very sick. Science estimates that a staggering two pounds or more of parasites and worms make their home in the average person's body. These spitefully malevolent parasites may be the cause of some symptoms that you simply write off as normal signs of growing older.
Good colon cleansing systems that use psyllium fiber will flush out most of these foul and revolting parasites as well as the mucoid plaque, but may leave behind more robust parasites and unhatched eggs that may number into the thousands. You can opt for a Psyllimax based product which is leaps better than just plain psyllium fiber, and that will typically be the sign of a premium colon cleansing product.
The best colon cleansing systems will go a step further and add a defense product that will support the cleanser and help to rid parasites on an ongoing basis. This product is generally taken with meals and makes a huge difference in the effectiveness of the colon cleanse.
You will see the many benefits of cleansing your colon in the days and weeks following your initial cleanse. You skin will begin to look and feel more vibrant, youthful, and rejuvenated, as cellulite, fluid retention, and bothersome blemishes begin to disappear or fade. The whites of your eyes will begin to recapture their clearness. You may see improvements in your memory. You will see some weight loss as your body is rid of unneeded waste and your systems start to function more properly and efficiently. You will feel better from the inside out as you regain your former energy. The cleansing process should make you feel like a new person, full of life and vigor.

Five workers were injured after being exposed to fumes at a wastewater treatment plant at the Port of Tampa yesterday.
One of the workers was taken to the hospital in critical condition. The other four were also taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
First responders got the call just before 7 p.m. Thursday evening. Investigators say workers were inside a 96-inch sewer pipe at that wastewater treatment facility, cleaning it.
At some point, the fumes were so strong they were overcome by it. Some were able to make it out of the pipe on their own; others had to be carried out.
Officials with Tampa Fire Rescue say they aren't sure what the gas was, but since it was produced by decaying matter, they think it might have been hydrogen sulfide.
The leak was not a threat to any residential areas and they didn't even have to evacuate the area of the port where the leak took place.
Investigators say they are working hard trying to figure out how all this happened.
"If the workers go too deep into the pipe, then the sewer gas displaces the oxygen. And without oxygen, of course, we cannot breathe and sustain life. That may have happened here, but I'm not sure," said Chief Emilio Salabarria of Tampa Fire Rescue.
Investigators have not released the names of any of the injured workers but say were contractors working on site.

A promising finish in his 2013 debut has Goshen's Sean Corr feeling pretty good about the season ahead, if only he can overcome a spate of unfortunate issues affecting his auto racing team.
Corr's team manager suffered a fall two weeks ago and is still in the hospital following emergency surgery to remove two discs from his back. Corr's race spotter was involved in a car accident on Sunday night and is also in the hospital.
On Tuesday, Corr arrived in Alabama despite his race hauler losing power and his check engine light blinking.
Middletown's John Ferrier posted the 27th fastest practice lap time of 55.178 seconds (173.547 mph) on Thursday in preparation for Friday's ARCA 250 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway. He qualified 26th in 55.425 seconds (172.774 mph).
Ferrier is making his second ARCA appearance of the season - he qualified 38th in Florida in February and did not make the starting grid for the Daytona 200. Ferrier, a veteran of Orange County Fair Speedway, is driving the No. 69 Mosquito Patch Ford.
"We're here. That's all that counts,'' Corr, 29, said on Tuesday. "We've had a really, really, really tough couple of weeks.''
The good news is Corr is coming off a career-best fifth-place finish in February in the ARCA race at Daytona, and will be using the same super speedway car for the 250-mile race on Friday at Talladega Superspeedway (Speed, 5 p.m.). He's got an experienced crew chief in Jamie Jones and found a replacement spotter from the NASCAR Sprint Cup series.
"The superspeedway program that we've put together, I think we put more focus on that than anything else this year,'' Corr said. "It's a good car.''
It is the same No. 82 car that won a pole position in 2012 at Daytona, and moved from an 18th starting position to fifth at the Feb. 16 Daytona 200 race, despite quarter-panel damage that affected air drafting and performance — those panels have been fixed for this race. Corr was running in third place with three laps to go when, he said, he got double-crossed by a driver who had agreed to partner with him on a draft run, only to back out at the last moment, leaving Corr boxed in as he fell back to tenth before scrambling back to fifth.
"I guess with two to go, people do shady stuff,'' Corr said.
Corr placed 25th in practice session timing on Thursday morning, completing his best lap in 54.906 seconds (174.407 mph), or almost 1.8 seconds off the fastest time. In qualifying on Thursday night, Corr was 16th in 54.659 seconds (175.195 mph).
"We'll see if we can do what we did at Daytona, and get another top-five,'' Corr said. "That's what the team really needs right now.''
Corr would love to race a full ARCA schedule, like he did in 2011, but current sponsorship levels won't allow for it. Visits to Pocono on June 8 and Kentucky on Sept. 20 are set, and if additional sponsors can be found there could be trips to Chicago on July 21 and Kansas on Oct. 4.
Corr will be competing in a few NASCAR truck races. He has a superspeedway truck he hopes to bring to Talladega in October. He also has two intermediate trucks that he'd like to run in Charlotte on May 17, Pocono on Aug. 3, and a race dirt race at Eldora Speedway in Ohio on July 24. It's his ambition to become a full-time competitor on the truck series.

MANdate: Jaleel White
Total Blackout host Jaleel White talks about the fun game show and reminisces on career as one of TV's most lovable characters.
by Holly Clay | November 5, 2012.
Hands down, Jaleel White is one of our most beloved actors from the '90s. Who doesn't still catch reruns of Family Matters, laughing at the innocent clumsiness of his trademark character Steve Urkle? Today, White has long ago hung up his suspenders but continues to keep us entertained as the host of the hit Syfy show Total Blackout. The 35-year-old father of one spoke to us about his new show and having played Steve Urkle.
Sheen: So what is Total Blackout?
Jaleel White: Total Blackout is awesome! I would describe the show as a bowl of peanuts. You can just eat handfuls of it and not know why! We put contestants in a dark room and they compete for prizes. It's sort of like Punked, but people's imaginations get the best of them. The new season starts Nov. 13 on Syfy.
Sheen: How would you describe your style from back in the day?
JW: I didn't have much style. I just liked what I liked. I grew up wearing Nicole Miller ties. Today, I am a fan of Todd Black and Paul Smith. I try to keep my look basic. I am however a shoe fanatic. I had to taper my shoe addiction, but I am still a fan of a good Jordan.
Sheen: Do you ever get tired of being known as Steve Urkle?
JW: It's tough to say. I turned chicken shit into chicken salad with that role. I don't take being known for Urkle too personally. I have been in the business for 32 years and I am still working, so I am grateful for Urkle.
Sheen: Did you ever have a real crush on Kelli Shanygne Williams who played Laura Winslow?
JW: What guy that age wouldn't have had a crush on her? She was and is a beautiful girl.
Sheen: Is there anything you miss about back in the day?
JW: I wish McDonald's would make real burgers again. But now, I eat a lot healthier. I am Whole Foods all the way.

|Bannekar - Drawing a Dial
|Posted: Friday, 15 April 2011 21:45
Sundials for Starters
This article appeared in The Compendium in March 2007
By Robert L. Kellogg, Ph. D.
Benjamin Banneker, 1731-1806 , is one of the nation's best-known African American inventors. He was born in Maryland and in 1791 played an important part in surveying the newly designed Federal Territory, now called the District of Columbia. In his youth, Banneker was inspired to build his own clock after an acquaintance gave him a watch. He took the watch apart to find out how it worked and made drawings of each component, and based on his drawings, he carved larger versions of the components out of wood and constructed a clock that kept accurate time for more than 50 years. As mathematician, he designed an Almanac that was a rival of Benjamin Franklin's famous publication.
As astronomer, clockmaker, and mathematician, he was expected to know how to design sundials, although none exist bearing his mark. In an age before pocket calculators, how would Banneker design a sundial? The graphical method is available in modern texts such as Waugh's 1973 classic "Sundials: Theory and Construction". Want to lay out a horizontal sundial without sines, cosines, and tangents? Then this "Sundials for Starters" is for you.
Step 1. On a large drawing paper draw two perpendicular lines. Where they intersect is point "O", the origin. Somewhere "south" on the vertical line mark a point that we'll call "C". From C, draw a slant line that is angled away from vertical by an angle L corresponding to your latitude. To do this, you'll need a protractor. We're going to lay out a triangle with this new line such that C,P,O form a right triangle with OC as the hypotenuse and sides CP and PO that meet at right angles. The result should look like Figure 1.
Step 2. Use a compass to draw an arc of radius OP centered at O. This is "Circle Arc #1" in Figure 2. Where this circle crosses the vertical line, mark the point as "N" and draw another circle of the same radius around N. This is "Circle Arc #2". Where the two circles intersect, mark a point "A". The result should now look like Figure 2.
Step 3: Using point A as the center, draw another circle arc of the same radius. It should pass through point O and through point N. Use the intersection of this circle and Circle Arc #1 to form a bisecting line NB, as shown in Figure 3. The bisecting line does not necessarily pass through point P, and in fact for clarity the lines CP and PO have been erased. We now have points O, B, and A on the circumference of Circle Arc #2.
Step 4: The circumference arcs OB and BA can be bisected again, producing two more intermediary points on the circumference of Circle Arc #2. All of these distances are equally spaced at 15 degree intervals. Using a divider or compass with pencil, copy that distance and "mirror" the points to the left of O along the Circle Arc #2 circumference. In fact, one additional point can be put beyond A and its mirror image counterpart. The last part of Step 4 is to draw lines from the center O through each circumference point until it touches the initial horizontal line HH', resulting in Figure 4.
Step 5: The lines drawn from O through the circumference points to the horizontal line HH'create the auxiliary hour lines starting at noon (the original vertical line) and proceed on the right to 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (the rightmost line) and from noon backward counting leftward 11, 10, 9, 8, and 7 (the leftmost line). Now, remember the point C at the bottom of the drawing paper? From the horizontal line HH'connect the intersecting points of the 7 to noon and noon to 5 lines to C, forming the hour lines as shown in Figure 5. The 6am and 6pm hour lines radiate from C and are parallel to HH'. These are added at the bottom of Figure 5.
Step 6: We now have the sundial plate in Step 5, its just that we might not recognize it. Centering our attention at point C, with a little bit of clean-up, the radiating hour lines can be trimmed (in this case in a circle). I've done the dial plate as part of a circle (traditional), but it could be designed using an octagonal design or a square design. And that initial right triangle that was formed in Step 1? It can now be used to form the gnomon, the dial's shadow caster. The triangle stands upright, perpendicular to the dial plate that we've just designed. Its pointy end C' is placed on the dial plate at C, with the rest of the gnomon following the noon line.
There you have it: dial construction in six steps. It can be done with only compass and straight edge except for setting the latitude angle in Step 1. And once you have a drawing template for the sundial, you can make not only a dial for yourself, but one for your neighbor. In fact, it is most probable that Bannekar made templates for others to use. It would be wonderful if anyone finds one of these 250 year old drawings.

(WHAS11) - The source was traced to alfalfa sprouts distributed by C.W. Sprouts under the "Sun Sprouts" label.
Medical labs in Nebraska helped identify the bacteria as Salmonella "st. Paul" by its unique DNA fingerprint.
Hospitals in Nebraska and three other states reported the cases to state health departments who forwarded the information to the Centers for Disease Control.
186 people reported symptoms.
Attorney Drew Falkenstein has filed three lawsuits on behalf of victims.
"The studies have shown that in just about every outbreak situation you can multiply the number of confirmed illnesses by 10, maybe even 20 or 30 to get an idea of how many people actually felt ill," said Falkenstein.
The plaintiffs all had one thing in common... they all reported getting Turkey Tom sandwiches from Jimmy Johns in Omaha. One even reported ordering extra alfalfa sprouts. They all were infected with salmonella.
Sprouts sold at grocery stores and at other restaurants were also identified as sources of the outbreak.
But weeks after all the sprouts from C.W. Sprouts were pulled from the market, dozens of people in other states got sick from sprouts grown by other distributors.
Eventually, 235 people in 14 states were diagnosed with salmonella.
The C.D.C. determined that the common denominator in every case was that the seeds used to grow the sprouts all came from Caudill Seed Company in Louisville.
Eventually, Caudill seed issued a market withdrawal request for all of the remaining seeds from lot 32, the seeds implicated in the outbreak.
But the salmonella outbreak last year was not the first one traced back to Caudill seed.
In 2004, the F.D.A. documented another market withdrawal of alfalfa seeds by Caudill Seed company after an outbreak involving a dozen salmonella cases in multiple states.
The attorney for the plaintiffs in the recent lawsuits says Caudill's negligence contributed to outbreaks.
"You're talking about a situation when you've got many thousands of people who are potentially affected, potentially made sick as a result of Caudill Seed products," said Falkenstein.
In the suit, the attorneys allege that Caudill failed to adequately monitor the sanitary conditions of its premises, apply its own policies to ensure safety, take reasonable measures to prevent the transmission of salmonella bacteria and related filth and adequately train and supervise its employees in preventing salmonella.
Caudill Seed Company would not provide an interview for our story since there is pending litigation, but a statement issued by the company says Caudill Seed has invested more than $1,000,000 in food safety technologies during the past 15 years.
That includes regular testing of seeds and placing warning labels on the products going out to growers.
Caudill has never been issued a warning letter by the F.D.A..
While some of victims of the salmonella outbreak out West reported eating sprouts at Jimmy Johns., no Louisville area restaurants reported any problems.
To be on the safe side, they changed suppliers after the outbreak.
As for Caudill seed, they tell us alfalfa sprouts are a raw agricultural product and there's no one hundred percent method to prevent contamination
WHAS 11 News Received this E-mail from Caudill Sprouting, LLC.:
Mr. Walser,
We regret that we are not able to make any direct response to you because of the ongoing litigation, but we wanted to at least provide you with a statement.
Caudill Sprouting LLC regrets that we are unable to respond to the specifics of this story because litigation is currently pending. Generally, we can say that Caudill Sprouting LLC is strongly committed to food safety. Caudill Sprouting LLC tests all of its seeds for pathogens before selling them to alfalfa sprouters and it complies with, or exceeds, all USDA and FDA requirements. Caudill Sprouting LLC urges the sprouters to whom it sells seeds to comply with all FDA food safety guidances. Unfortunately, in rare instances, sprouters may fail to understand or properly implement the interventions and testing required by the FDA guidances. Over the past 15 years, Caudill Sprouting LLC has invested over $1,000,000 in food safety technologies, interventions and on-going research. Caudill Sprouting LLC has been an active participant in industry efforts to enhance the food safety procedures followed by sprouters to help ensure that consumers receive a safe product. Caudill Sprouting LLC is confident that the pending litigation will show that it did nothing wrong and that the allegations against it are unsupported.

The following is how President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney answered a recent American Farm Bureau Federation questionnaire.
We included three key topics: farm policy, fiscal policy and taxes. Read their complete answers including commentary on energy, labor and trade on the AFB web site.
A new farm bill will be enacted and implemented over the next four years during a time of significant evolution in agriculture. What policy and risk management tools do you propose to ensure that agriculture is a profitable, competitive and viable industry?
I understand the need for a strong farm safety net. That's why I increased the availability of crop insurance and emergency disaster assistance to help over 590,000 farmers and ranchers keep their farms in business after natural disasters and crop loss. My administration expanded farm credit to help more than 100,000 farmers struggling during the financial crisis to keep their family farms and provide for their families. And as farmers continue to go through hard times because of this drought, we are expanding access to low-interest loans, encouraging insurance companies to extend payment deadlines and opening new lands for livestock farmers to graze their herds.
And I know that any farm bill passed this year – and there needs to be a farm bill passed this year – needs to have adequate protections for America's farmers. That's why I have called for maintaining a strong crop insurance program and an extended disaster assistance program. We can reduce the deficit without sacrificing rural American economic growth, as the Romney-Ryan budget would do. Instead of making farmer pay more for crop insurance, we will do it by cutting subsidies to crop insurance companies and better targeting conservation funding.
There are many factors involved in the economic downturn, but federal budget policy and the gridlock that is prohibiting restoration of sound fiscal policy are important factors. What would be your proposed foundation for reforming federal fiscal and budgeting policy?
We can't grow our economy in the long run if we don't start taking our fiscal and budgeting policy seriously. That's why earlier this year, I put forward a detailed plan for over $4 trillion in deficit reduction – including $1 trillion in spending cuts enacted last year – that finds savings in every part in the budget, brings domestic spending to its lowest level as a share of the economy in about 50 years, reforms Medicare and Medicaid, and asks the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share. The independent Congressional Budget Office has confirmed that my plan would reduce deficits over time, and stabilize the Federal debt.
We faced a more than $1 trillion deficit on the day I took office – overwhelmingly caused by a bad economy and the policies of the prior administration – including two tax cuts weighted towards the wealthy, two wars, and the Medicare drug benefit, none of which were paid for. Paul Ryan voted for these policies, and Mitt Romney supported them. Now, Romney and Ryan are proposing $5 trillion in tax cuts without describing how they'd pay for them, returning us to those same failed policies of the past.
What priorities will you set for reforming the tax code? How should tax reform deal with the estate tax and capital gains taxes, two critical concerns for farmers and ranchers?
The tax code has become increasingly complicated and unfair. While many tax incentives serve important purposes, taken together the tax expenditures in the law are inefficient, unfair, duplicative, or even unnecessary. That's why I'm calling for comprehensive tax reform.

No dumb ass, you GOT PAID a huge price for being the only person to come forward. The very fact that you begin your statement to the press with "This is the day I thought would never come" is proof of that.
It's a white collar crime. You'll come out of prison with $105 million in the bank. You'll probably end up in a minimum security prison, so you won't have to worry about rape, so, what price did you pay?

Google launches public-relations offensive
The search engine's stock has slumped this year, while its rivals' shares have taken off.
This is a transparent attempt to drum up interest in its shares, which are down about 4% this year, while rivals Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL) have both risen by double digits. Investors are still smarting over the search engine giant's disappointing fourth-quarter results.
The Journal story focused on Google's efforts in semantic search, which seeks to generate "smarter," more relevant search results by inferring from one query additional types of information that a user might want to know. The idea was pioneered by Ask Jeeves, among others, and has been explored by Google for years.
"Google's arguably been doing semantic search since 2003, when it began searching for synonyms of the words actually entered," Search Engine Land's Danny Sullivan, a respected industry observer, wrote in a blog post. "As for 'spitting out' those 'facts and direct answers' that the WSJ story talks about, Google's been doing that for so long that it's hard for me to even know exactly when it all began."
Google needs to burnish its reputation as an innovator amid the growing attention Apple is receiving for its Siri digital assistant, which responds to voice commands of iPhone 4S users and now accounts for 25% of voice searches. Microsoft, which owns and publishes Top Stocks, an MSN Money site, has gained market share because of its prowess in semantic search, though the company has reported big losses from its Bing search engine.
Google is rolling out changes to its search offering over the next several months. They could have huge implications because, despite offerings such as Gmail and Google Earth, the company still gets the vast majority of its earnings from search advertisements.
Sullivan also noted that some people believe the search giant's results are not as good since the roll-out of Search Plus Your World, a feature that serves up personal results from sources such as Google +.
Maintaining Google's competitive edge will not be cheap. Research and development costs at the company topped $5.16 billion in 2011, up more than 37% from $3.76 billion a year earlier. Revenue rose more than 29% to $37.9 billion. Odds are that R&D expenses will continue to grow faster than revenue for some time. That's not good news for shareholders, and it may make it tougher for analysts to forecast Google's earnings, since the company doesn't provide guidance.

Feast your eyes, if you dare, on these Hot Dog Mummies. They're the perfect party food or to build energy before an evening of collecting candy. If you like these creepy snacks, explore our Spooky Halloween Treats Gallery.
For each mummy, separate one breadstick from the roll and use kitchen shears or a knife to slice it in half lengthwise to create two thinner strips.
Wrap one strip at a time snugly around the hot dog. Depending on the size of the hot dog, you may not need all of both strips. Leave about 1/2 inch of hot dog exposed for the face area and continue wrapping the top of the hot dog.
Bake the mummies on a cookie sheet at 350º for 15 to 18 minutes or until the breadstick wrapping is golden brown.
Remove the mummies from the oven and cool them for 5 minutes. Add yellow mustard eyes just before serving. Makes 12 mummies.

The Pinal County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help identifying a suspect in a home invasion.
On September 25, detectives from PCSO began investigating a home invasion near North Gantzel and West Chandler Heights Road.
The victim reported that she heard a knock on the door, and opened it to two unknown females who forced their way in.
They attacked her and attempted to wrap something -- a bra -- around her neck to choke her. While the victim continued to struggle with her assailant, one of the women stole items from the home.
They eventually fled in an unknown direction.
The victim sustained several injuries that required stitches. It's unknown why this victim was targeted.
The victim described one of her attackers as a white or light-skinned Hispanic woman, late 20s, 5' 6" to 5' 7" tall, 180 to 200 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes, and shoulder-length hair in a ponytail [see suspect sketch].

A current 2014 membership is required in order to take advantage of the pre-pay benefit. The pre-payment process can be completed through online ASA member portal page.
Has my membership been renewed?
We strongly encourage online renewal, as that processes your renewal immediately (and you may log on to see the status of your renewal at any time). If you renew by mail, you may receive another renewal reminder prior to ASA receiving and entering your renewal, so please allow adequate processing time.

Membership may be cancelled by contacting the ASA membership department by e-mail or mail, but ASA is not able to offer a refund for cancelled memberships.
May I add an additional section or journal to my membership mid-year?

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — Senator Edward Markey is launching a tour of Massachusetts as the state's newest member of Congress.
A spokeswoman says Markey hopes to hear from mayors, business owners, and constituents about their ideas for strengthening the economy and creating jobs.
Markey is beginning the tour Tuesday in western and central Massachusetts. Markey's schedule includes a meeting with Northampton Mayor David Narkewicz and a tour of Worcester businesses with U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern and Worcester Mayor Joe Petty.
Markey continues his tour Wednesday with visits to New Bedford and Fall River.
On Thursday, Markey will be in Lowell and ends the day in Boston.
Markey was sworn in last month after winning a special election to fill John Kerry's old Senate seat. Markey served more than three decades representing Massachusetts in the U.S. House.

Why do so called critics of mine think I'm doing something wrong by teaching both sexes how they can be happy? What is it about people these days who can't get past a simple microcosmic issue and fail to grasp the larger macro issue as a whole? We see this on all levels of humanity now, for example, mention words like abortion and rape, no matter the context, and a large segment that hears these words will only hear these words and not the actual context, and certainly not a bigger picture, not a larger scope of thinking.
This way of thinking has shown itself to be saturated in every level of society, from the masses to politicians, corporate leaders, even scientists – we are all part of a singular matrix, unable to pry ourselves from the machine as it marches on and tramples everything in its path. We no longer understand symbols – they used to be reminders of something we believed in – once we saluted the ideals and morals of our country when we saluted the flag, now we salute the flag because if we don't we're not patriotic.
Learning game, at least for me, is not about tricking girls to sleep with me, or brainwash these helpless beings into going along with my world view, it's about giving both sexes what it takes to make each other happy – masculine males and feminine females, it's the balance that most people crave despite their modern in-ability to separate issues about basic human rights and gender actualities.
Is this a systematic dumbing down of society? Is it a tragic symptom of a society on information overload – constant marketing and appeals to each cause out there – splintered into sub groups and issues? When did we allow the hijacking of our mutual happiness? Since when is women's issues not men's issues and vice versa? How are the issues affecting men, false rape, hyper gamy, divorce inequality, marginalizing , misandry, not the issues that affect women? They surely do, or else we wouldn't see women rejecting beta males and wondering where all the real men went, that this separating of gender issues created.
More importantly how do you reach out to an audience that isn't there? The greatest tragedy is having the wise men painted as lunatics, or worse, as invalid. And what about an audience? It seems these days, as an entertainer, or teacher, you have to find one and fit into that audience rather than them finding you. Kids these things didn't used to be so, not before the dark times.
When feminism was created, it reflected on our society, a culture of duality began, opposition, in order for females to gain rights it had to reject the female and embrace the male, on the inside, and on the outside vice versa – this in turn had an effect on men, (anyone that could think past a grade 10 education should have been able to ascertain this) and in the end has caused such a chasm that one wonders if it could ever be bridged again or if it will just get wider. Will we ever see past 2 feet in front of us ever again?
