Regulators and authorities often encourage the public to help stop water polluters. Community hotlines provide a means for concerned citizens and agencies to contact the appropriate authority when they see people creating water quality problems. A hotline can be a toll-free telephone number or an electronic form linked directly to a utility or government agency, such as the water quality control board. A typical call might report a leaking automobile, concrete wash-out dumped on the street, paint in a creek, or organic debris (including pet waste) in a drainage system or waterway.
Generally, an investigation team promptly responds to a hotline call and, in most cases, visits the problem site. If a responsible party can be identified, the team informs the party of the problem, offers alternatives for future disposal, and instructs the party to resolve the problem. If the issue is not resolved by the responsible party (or if the party cannot be identified), the proper authority takes action to remediate the situation and prevent future violations.
Determine if a hotline is necessary. A municipality must first determine whether they need a hotline and, if so, whether the hotline is needed immediately or in the near future. A city can identify their need for a hotline by addressing the following questions:
Choose the type of hotline to use. If municipalities determine that they need a hotline, they should choose between a telephone or an e-mail hotline. A city might decide to do both, at least for a short period of time.
Determine costs. Hotline costs can be minimized by staying a step ahead of questions and by developing a close relationship with city staff to anticipate information needs. Cost estimates can be obtained by comparing the costs of training city staff to the costs of hiring a professional hotline service. A cost comparison should also be made between a person and an e-mail presence for the hotline. Municipalities can obtain specific information about establishing and running a hotline by interviewing contractors who specialize in hotline operation.
Decide which agency will be responsible for the hotline. To establish a stormwater pollution hotline, a party or agency responsible for maintaining the hotline and responding to incoming complaints must first be identified. The responsible party could be a division of local government, a water quality board, a public utility, or an environmental agency. If the city chooses to use its own staff, it should keep in mind that the staff will require training. The city could also contract with a professional hotline provider. Once the party has agreed to maintain the hotline, it will need to establish a telephone number (preferably toll-free and to be used solely to report pollution complaints) and/or Internet site to receive notification.
Publicize the hotline. All distributed materials should include pollution hotline numbers and information. Typically, hotlines are advertised on public education materials concerned with water quality, such as flyers, door hangers, and brochures. The hotline could also be publicized on "permanent" materials such as bumper stickers and refrigerator magnets, where the number can be retained and easily located.
Seattle, Washington, Hotline. The city of Seattle, Washington, provides an on-line "Surface Water Quality Complaint Form" to allow concerned citizens to file e-mail reports of pollutant discharges to the city's creeks, lakes, and storm system. The form includes spaces for information about the person making the complaint and the alleged violation. If worried about privacy, a reporter can submit the complaint by telephone. It is the policy of the city of Seattle to keep the identification of callers confidential, pursuant to the provisions of the Washington Public Information Act.
Seattle Public Utilities surface water quality field investigators respond to water quality-related complaints within the city's limits. When the team responds to a complaint, they make every attempt to determine the responsible party and inform them of the environmental impact of their actions. The responsible party is required to stop the action that is polluting the surface water. Staff members provide information on cleanup, alternative disposal options, erosion control, and other best management practices (BMPs) (City of Seattle, 1999).
Charlotte, North Carolina, Hotline. Over the past 6 years, the city of Charlotte, North Carolina's, local stormwater hotline has received 20,000 phone calls concerning water quantity and quality problems. The hotline not only helps the city respond to flooding, spills, and dumping incidents, but also provides a rough indicator of the success of public education efforts. Hotline activity increases significantly after educational materials are mailed. Callers can also receive free educational materials through the hotline number. The city also advertises for the county's water quality hotline (Lehner, 1999).
A stormwater hotline is effective when its number is easily remembered (i.e., has a catchy name) or is easily accessible. Most important, however, is the responsiveness of the hotline. If a citizen reports an illegal dumping but no action is taken by the appropriate authority, that citizen could lose faith in the hotline and might not call back with future information.
A hotline can serve as a link between the citizens and the municipality's government. It can be an avenue for citizens to feel more involved in their community. It also can be a great way to catch illegal polluters or to stop accidental spills that might otherwise go unnoticed.
There are several limitations to community hotlines. The first is the community's ability to pay for it. The second is the ability of the community to keep the hotline staffed. Finally, the hotline must be advertised in order for the effort to be successful.

I knew I was nitpicking too much when I noticed that they had the outfield bleachers at Shea - those weren't built until the 1980s as I recall.

Other pluses:
- Cleon actually looked like Cleon -- could have been an actor who was a dead ringer -- maybe they even cloned his face and added it to the print using CGI.
- The tiles on the facing of the stadium were a nice accuracy too.
- Nice touch also to accurately locate the warmup pitching rubbers and fungo circles where they should have been, although designers might have done a better job indicating the dirt cutout paths to the dugouts.
The field boxes should have been colored yellow; they weren't repainted orange until the Wilpon years. And the seats always had been divided by piping into a square-box grid (hence "box seats,") not the borderless arrangement portrayed. And would it be a spoiler to comment on Griffin's take of their yearly finishes prior to winning it all?

A long time ago when I was in college I read about making a spiral out of right triangles with sides 1 and sqrt(N). (A google search seems to indicate that this is called the Spiral of Theodorus.)
I spent a long time trying to prove that the series of points approximated a spiral R = Kθ + φ, by trying to show the limit of the difference φ = sqrt(N+1) - K*sum(atan(1/sqrt(N)) existed for some K. I think I managed to do it but it was confusing and can't find my papers. (and I'm still an amateur mathematician!)
Is this a known problem, and is there a closed-form solution to K and φ ?

Historic block of buildings in downtown Saginaw slated for possible demolition
Thursday, January 17, 2013 1:03 PM
Inappropriate photo? Alert us.
The "Corner Building" at 100 South Washington in downtown Saginaw, which also holds the former office of Leo Kahan, is slated for demolition if the city of Saginaw, the Saginaw County Land Bank, and the Downtown Developmental Authority receives a $4 million grant. The grant could potentially pay for the demolition of a handful of buildings on the southeast corner of downtown Saginaw's main intersection, as well as some demolitions in the Saginaw High School neighborhood.

Mission Statement of the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities
The Office of Services for Students with Disabilities operates as a centralized services center for students and faculty. To be eligible for services and accommodations a student must have an identified disability, submit appropriate documentation, and contact the OSSD Director to request services. Because each person's situation is unique, documentation requirements vary by situation. Students should not delay meeting with the OSSD. If you have questions regarding your documentation, this can be discussed during your meeting. In addition to providing accommodations, the OSSD is a recipient of a TRIO/SSS grant that allows us to provide additional services including academic coaching and tutoring for math and writing.
High school students with physical and/or learning disabilities are invited to attend a Prospective Student Mini Question & Answer Session. Please contact our office to learn what session dates are available. Please note that prospective students must be present at the sesson. Appointments can be arranged by calling 610.436.2564.
Starting Fall 2013, the Proctoring Center no longer uses a paper proctoring form. We now have an online form to request and schedule all exams.
Interactive - Accommodation requests usually require a face to face meeting with OSSD staff, where student makes a request for specific modifications to classroom procedure. Students should have already submitted documentation of their disability.
Relevant and Timely - Requests should precede the need for an accommodation so there is sufficient time to make arrangements. Accommodations will not be granted retroactively. Some requests such as those for captioners, ASL, etext and alternate formats need to be made up to 4 weeks in advance of the semester (see technology link).
Supported and Reasonable Requests - Accommodation requests must be related to the initial presentation of the limitation and when the situation warrants a change. Requests to alter accommodations to improve a grade are not appropriate.
Effective Responses - OSSD will provide Letters of Accommodation each semester upon written request. Letters of Accommodation will be sent via secure e-mail to students. Faculty who receive Letters of Accommodation should be provided an opportunity to discuss provisions; for example, extended time on tests prior to implementation. The OSSD recommends that students present Letters of Accommodation in the initial week or two of class and at least a week prior to the first test.
If the accommodation is not met in class or you need additional assistance, return to the OSSD. We provide proctoring for tests, if you need a reader or scribe and a distraction reduced environment.
Note: The University reserves the right to deny services or accommodations pending the receipt of appropriate documentation.

The Georgia men's golf and women's softball teams both advanced in NCAA Tournament action this weekend, and the Bulldogs entered a new era with the reported hiring of Danna Durante as the new gymnastics coach.
In a busy weekend for the Red and Black, the Georgia Bulldogs track and field, women's golf, and women's softball teams all stumbled down the stretch to disappointing finishes following promising starts in postseason SEC and NCAA competitions.
Dawg Sports reports on Georgia Bulldogs baseball, softball, men's golf, and men's lacrosse, as well as conference expansion, in this morning's edition of "Dawg Bites."
Lu Harris-Champer's Georgia women's softball team won its 40th victory of the season, a former Bulldog golfer won the Stadion Classic for the second straight year, and several Red and Black squads are bound for SEC and NCAA tourney fields.
College basketball recruit Tony Parker chose Ben Howland's UCLA Bruins over Mark Fox's Georgia Bulldogs. Dawg Sports brings you this and other newsworthy items of note in "Dawg Bites."
It was a busy weekend for the Georgia Bulldogs in several sports. Get up to date on the Red and Black's current status in men's lacrosse, softball, track and field, and women's gymnastics.
While Easter weekend was highlighted for Georgia fans by Bubba Watson's Masters win, the Bulldogs also were in action in softball, track and field, and the Davis Cup. Dawg Sports recaps the action in the Sunday sports summary.

Has anyone been able to get the USB microscope software to work with OSX? I get the preview window showing an image from the microscope, but when I click the image capture (or video) button, nothing happens, nothing is saved.
I can save an image from the microscope with PhotoBooth, but Photobooth wont save the full resolution of the camera.
Couple of other things. The Preference menu item doesn't work. The manual says you shouldn't unplug the microscope with the LED's on and they should be turned off by quitting the microscope application, but the LED's stay on when the app is shut down.
Also between approx 100-200x magnification, the microscope wont focus. I'm guessing you're supposed to remove the plastic cone on the bottom, but I can't get it off?
Any suggestions appreciated.

UltraPixels and Sensor Size
The new sensor offers the largest pixel size on a smartphone, which can capture significantly more light.
It's a "has to be seen to be believed" type of experience. Look at the sample photos below to see the difference.
Shot in "real world" conditions at night, without flash. Count how many eyes you can see clearly...
HTC One
Leading Competition
UltraPixels and Sensor Size
HTC has made a deliberate choice to focus on photo quality with bigger pixel size over just total pixel count. The 1/3' sensor size on the HTC One is equivalent to the sensor size found on other 8MP or 13MP smartphone cameras.
However, UltraPixels are larger than ordinary pixels, and take up more space on the sensor. So there are less megapixels - the new HTC One takes photos at 4 megapixels resolution, but the quality of each pixel is substantially higher than the industry average.
The 2.0 micrometer UltraPixel has effectively twice the surface area of the typical 1.4 micrometer pixel found on 8MP solutions from leading competitors and far larger than the 1.1 micrometer pixel on 13MP sensors.
Because of the ample amount of information recorded on each photo, images captured with HTC's camera look absolutely stunning on large computer monitors and HDTVs. They can be printed at full resolution up to at least 8" x 10". Even casual, everyday photos reveal a pristine level of clarity and detail.
Another benefit of the new sensor is that the actual file size of each image is smaller, requiring little, if any, compression when sharing, uploading, backing up, or storing in the cloud. This maintains the captured image's inherent quality.

Today the International Energy Agency announced that its members would release 60 million barrels of crude oil (2 million per day for the next 30 days). According to the IEA's press release the release of supplies was, "in response to the ongoing disruption of oil supplies from Libya," and that, "this supply disruption has been underway for some time and its effect has become more pronounced as it has continued." Also from the IEA, Libyan oil production in 2010 averaged 1.8 million barrels of oil per day, so there is some method to the 2 million per day figure. And the IEA will reconvene within 30 days to consider future actions.
I'm sure there are about 100 things about this situation that I don't understand, but I'm not sure why this decision was made now, after crude oil prices have fallen by almost 19%, as can be seen in the chart below. Seems to me the high prices, themselves, have acted to reduce the amount demanded, driving the price down.
Here's the Wordle cloud of the press release.

The cancer center broke ground Jan. 17
More than 200 people celebrated the new cancer center groundbreaking on Jan. 17, 2013. Community members, donors, cancer survivors, staff, physicians and city officials wereamong those in attendance. To see a photo gallery of the events, click on the slideshow above or click here.
University of Colorado Health broke ground Jan. 17 on a comprehensive and integrated cancer center in Fort Collins. It was designed to provide patients in our community with one-door access to cancer treatment, research, support and survivorship services.
The 2-story center center will be located on UCHealth's Harmony Campus in the city's southeastern area. The outpatient facility will be about 30,000 square feet is currently estimated at $11 million and is expected to be completed in 2014.
"It will raise the bar on cancer care in northern Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region," said Kevin Unger, president and CEO of Poudre Valley Hospital.
Better experience
Community members touched by cancer were asked how to improve cancer care. Their feedback shaped the vision for the new cancer center.
The consensus was that patients want care close to home, so they don't have to leave their community. They prefer to have treatment, care and support at one location rather than multiple sites. A cancer patient often has 100 appointments in the first year after diagnosis, adding physical, emotional and financial stress to an already challenging journey.
To answer this challenge, PVH, part of UCHealth, and the Foundation developed plans to deliver one-door access so patients will get virtually all of their treatment and care under the same roof.
"Our goal with the center is to provide a better cancer-care experience that meets the needs of patients in one location," said Unger. "We will have everything centralized, from diagnostic services to treatment and care to survivorship."
The patient-centric design fosters multidisciplinary care. In this new center, patients will often see multiple specialists in one visit, in one room. These seamless connections will promote personalized treatment strategies managed by a single point of contact from diagnosis to survivorship.
The center will adjoin the existing Cancer Center of the Rockies, one of the foremost oncology physician clinics in the region, as well as UCHealth's northern Colorado radiation oncology department that underwent a $7.1-milllion expansion in 2011 to make room for a TrueBeam STx linear accelerator. The linear accelerator, regarded as the world's most advanced technology for treating cancer and other potentially life-threatening illnesses, delivers targeted radiation to "zap" tumors.
The center will provide access to:
UCHealth, a partnership of Poudre Valley Health System and University of Colorado Hospital, enhances services to cancer patients by strengthening the ongoing partnership between community and academic physicians. Specifically, the affiliation will expand research access for patients, building on over a decade of partnership with University of Colorado Cancer Center, Colorado's only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center.
In the new Fort Collins-based center, already well-developed programs will better deliver patient navigation, oncology counseling, and research services to patients. Patients undergoing treatment will choose to socialize with peers, have private family time, or enjoy fresh air and mountain views on the second floor balconies.
"When I can see my patients in one environment dedicated to connecting all the experts involved in their cancer care, I know my patients will have a better experience overall," said Dr. Miho Scott, a Cancer Center of the Rockies oncologist.
The cancer center is part of UCHealth's expansion of inpatient and outpatient cancer treatment and support services in northern Colorado. Inpatient cancer treatment was added at the Medical Center of the Rockies in 2010. Inpatient cancer care was previously provided only at PVH in Fort Collins. The UCHealth cancer program also extended its medical oncology and outpatient infusion clinics to Greeley and Loveland, in addition to its existing Fort Collins medical oncology and radiation oncology services.
Our vision doesn't stop here. With support from our community, the cancer center will foster continuous improvement in patient care, experience and outcomes. To date, more than 3,500 members of the community have contributed more than $3 million to the project.

I totally agree, Usher will ALWAYS side dip …
Comment posted [Video] Usher Speaks on Custody Battle, Divorce & Whether He Slept With Tameka's Bridesmaide On 'Next Chapter' by Delrahim.
I totally agree, Usher will ALWAYS side dip his peen into other women. He can't help it. His mother acts likes she really wants it. She's so over extra involved, she's his neighbor, like same zip code??? NO way, Usher is gross with it. The bridesmaid is named Maya Davis I read, she should be ashamed of herself totally. In this womans house and around her kids?!!
His mother didnt teach him too well, he's a whore and doesn't respect women. Ughhh Usher boooooo!
Delrahim also commented
- Ushers MONEY POWER FAME won this case plain and simple. I haven't seen ONE report of her being unfit, neglectful or mean to those children. Usher should NEVER have tried to take sole or full custody from her.
- His mother sounded like a deranged obsessed broad. Tameka never had a chance in that marriage because his Mammy lives around the corner from him???? Thats too close and crazy, she left her husband Mr Patton to control Ushers life. NUTS. She is a HUGE part of the problem and Usher slept with the bridesmaids??? So he probably smashed everyone else too. I would be bitter, sad and mad too. What a scumbag???

- Tameka Raymond Dishes On Usher Sleeping With Her Bridesmaid In First Interview Since Custody Battle
Usher's mother didnt teach her sons NOTHING. One is a woman beater and the other a cheater and a heartless *****. How could she sit there supporting her son nasty ways. The apple doesnt fall far from the tree.
- Tameka Raymond Dishes On Usher Sleeping With Her Bridesmaid In First Interview Since Custody Battle
Tameka has always had joint custody with her ex husband, no need to fight for it. Only Usher tried to get full custody.
- Tameka Raymond Dishes On Usher Sleeping With Her Bridesmaid In First Interview Since Custody Battle
She was separated but legally married when she and usher started their relationship. Separated people date all the time, divorces take years sometimes.
- Tameka Loses Custody Of Two Sons To Usher
That is so stupid. Usher doesnt even go on stage until late like 9pm and his shows are probably 2 hours long. His kids have NO BUSINESS at his nasty assed shows period. Have you been to an Usher concert??? Hes humpin' poles, dancers, himself, fans, bottled waters, anything humpable… Then he has after-parties and hotel "fun' …..I know this. Why would his little boys need to be around that lifestyle?
He has the money so he won, period point blank. Im sure the judge ignored all of this stuff, like she did the DRUG test he never seemed to take, Hey Ush, if youre clean **** in the cup brother! LMAOOO
- Usher Is Alive And Showing Off His Body
Usher is not a good looking man. His body looks like an old man tryna look younger. Sorta like those old men down at Venice beach that wear them weight lifting belts. I love his new song "Climax" tho, the video looks like hes talking to his wife to me. If he still wit the old Olive oil grace lady then it must be about his wife. Ursh, really looked better when he was married to me. He looks too scraggly and worn out now. Maybe he just older and different now. I liked Love in the Club Usher betta then this one. he look type homeless and like a rastafarian.

I know I've slacked on posting in here.
So welcome to all our new peeps!
Anyone with a Jedi that gets approved, post your pics in the KJO as well. And once you're approved in the KJO, PM me so you can be part of the Tosche Temple as well!
And if that didn't make it obvious or anything, I'm the Tosche Temple Master. Hehe. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me!

Congratulations and welcome to MEB!
As far as Tosche Temple, you must join the Knights of the Jedi Order (KJO). The thread for that is here.
All you gotta do is follow the directions and you should be in within a day or two after!

Yes, just follow the link Vega provided, go to the last page, and post saying that you'd like to join the KJO and provide pics of top to bottom of you robe on and off side, back, front.
Or just post pictures that you have, i know it seems like alot but those guys over in the KJO thread are reeeeaaaally picky!
And as soon as they add you to the KJO just let Vega know and she'll add you to the Toshe Temple roster.
Now lets see you at some events!!!! Ha Ha

Thanks for the warm welcome all. I will be joining the Temple shortly. I have not been online over the last few days, so playing catch up.
I will be attending as many events as I can. My work schedule is quite ridiculous, so between that and the distance I am away means I can't attend as many events as I would like. But I will show my face as often as possible.

Hi everyone, my name is Dustin, and I have been sober fo....oh wait, thats not this forum....
anyways I have only been trooping since about 2005, I am a member of the 501st Dune Sea Garrison and the Jundland Wastes Squad Leader which oversees the events in the Dune Sea's south end. Mostly Tucson! I've met most of you, I primarily wear A white TK, and more recently Captain Rex! I have built three 501st approved Tusken Raiders, two Tie Pilots, one At At driver, and can't seem to apply to the RL before selling my Tusken! I guess I'm just a sucker for new squad members!
Anyways, I hope to troop with you all, and the door is always open for any events in Tucson! I also woul dbe happy to help anyone interested in building a Tusken!

Post subject: Introduction of a hopeful member (soon)
Hello, My name is Blake (Darkshifter82) and I was at PHX ComicCon, and you guys saw me in my unfinished Jedi outfit at the Relay for Life.
I had a great time it was wonderful that not only did you raise all that money but you beat your goal after you raised it again.
One of the best things was seeing R2 lead ALL THOSE KIDS around the track, you need to get Joel to put the video on your website by your new post for the relay.
I was woundering if you guys had decided on a day for the Jedi workshop? At the moment I believe all I neet is the belt; with the belt come the parts with the parts come the decision wether it is Old Republic or New Republic.
It is nice to get to know you all I hope to be a part of the group soon.

Hi everyone!
My name is Neil Hetzel and I've been trooping with the Dune Sea Garrison for several years now. Last year my brother and I decided to do clone costumes together and many sleepless nights later we succeeded. At the time I didn't realize that they would qualify us for entry into the RL. I'm glad I know now!
I'm very happy to be a member of the RL now and look forward to getting know you guys more over here.
See you 'round!
P.S. Can I get "special access" to the clone detachment?

Post subject: New Tro.. erm, Jedi here.
Hi there,
Bry Squires from UAT here, still working on my jedi outfit. Have pictures posted on my facebook page by the same name. Really enjoyed you guys at Fanboys and the Ultrasabers, Atomic Comic venture. Hope everything went well with the Relay for Life!
I'm 28, married, and going back to school to finish my degree in embedded systems. I have a dog, love comics, painting, and camping. I'm apart of the UAT Star Wars club but I'm not actually the president or any member of leadership, I've just been around the block a few times.
I am still looking to complete my belt and boots. My robe and saber are in the second to last legs, and I've had to restart my saber because the activation button would be cut off by the LED heat sink.
I'd love an email of other such;
Thanks again!

My iphone is on 1.0.2 and I've had a bit of a nightmare:
It started when I installed enough apps to lose my installer app icon. The solution to this seemed simple using ibrickr, but I have changed pc since i JB'd my phone, so none of the apps showed up in the fake iphone on ibrickr. It wouldn't let me install using ibrickr except from a pxl file on my pc. I managed to find an old version of installer and install it, but the whole process of trying to tidy everything up ended in the yellow triangle of death.
I had to restore my phone using itunes, and restored the 1.0.2 firmware (I'm running the latest version of itunes which i forgot in all the excitement - hoping that doesn't make a difference...).
Now I'm back to the activation screen on my phone but cannot seem to find any way to activate:
ibrickr hangs on my desktop, and on my laptop tells me the firmware needs updating, so I can't get in that way.
winstaller says it's completed but it's had no effect.
apptapp installer can't get its hooks into the phone as it doesn't seem to stay in recovery mode - when the yellow triangle appears, the screen flickers blue and it reboots into the activation screen.
I've searched the forums but none of the solutions seem to work, so if anybody can suggest a way through this, I'd be really grateful.
Should I bite the bullet and upgrade to a more recent firmware without virginizing, or is there a way forward to activate from where I am?
Would really appreciate any advice - you know how it is when your phone is out of action!

Although the voters' verdict was mixed on Super Tuesday, Mitt Romney proved to be the clear winner of the media narrative that followed.
In a week when Romney finished first in six of ten Super Tuesday contests, 58% of the news coverage about his candidacy was positive and just 16% negative, according to Campaign 2012 in the Media, an ongoing effort to track campaign coverage by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. That differential of positive coverage outpacing negative by 42 points was, by far, Romney's best week of coverage this year. (Another 26% of the coverage was neutral.) Romney's media narrative has been on the upswing for two weeks.
Rick Santorum, who won three Super Tuesday states and came within an eyelash of Romney in Ohio, had a more mixed news narrative last week. In all, 32% of his news coverage was positive compared with 32% negative and 35% neutral. That marked a downturn from the week before, when Santorum finished close behind Romney in the crucial Michigan primary and had positive coverage (38%) that was moderately higher than his negative coverage (30%).
