Army Corps of Engineers will lead landfill cleanup
After months of requesting that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers take the lead in resolving the issues surrounding the West Lake and Bridgeton Landfills, the Environmental Protection Agency says the Corps will help construct an isolation barrier between an underground fire at the Bridgeton Landfill and radioactive materials in the adjacent West Lake Landfill.
According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, EPA Region 7 administrator Karl Brooks wrote to Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster on Friday saying he will keep Koster and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources closely informed about the status of the project.
Earlier this week, Koster urged the EPA to move quickly on the barrier. The radioactive waste is a byproduct of the Manhattan Project and was dumped in North County illegally about 40 years ago.
Environmental groups and residents have been calling for the Army Corps to take over the cleanup of the Superfund site as the Corps has worked on other nuclear waste cleanup projects in the St. Louis area.
Missouri Attorney General holds landfill owners feet to the fire
Missouri's top law enforcement official wants the owner of a St. Louis landfill to provide more details about a underground smoldering fire at the site which could threaten radioactive waste buried nearby.
On Thursday, Attorney General Chris Koster asked the St. Louis County Circuit Court to order Republic Services to provide additional monitoring data related to the Bridgeton Landfill.
Koster says the state has asked Republic Services to supply data and maps showing the concentration of carbon monoxide at various locations in an effort to track movement of the fire.
He says the company has not supplied comprehensive data for the north part of the site, nearest the nuclear material.
A spokesman says the company expects to provide additional monitoring data that it believes will validate that the site is safe.
Bridgeton Landfill plan to keep fire away from radioactive waste found "deficient"
The company that owns the smoldering Bridgeton Landfill has 20 days to submit a new plan to stop the fire's spread toward radioactive waste buried at the adjacent West Lake Landfill.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources yesterday found "significant deficiencies" in Republic Service's contingency plan.
Residents living near the two landfills have expressed serious concerns about the underground fire that continues to creep closer to the radioactive waste site.
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster sued Republic in March because the continuous burning violates state environmental laws. Koster says he will take them back to court if necessary to force the company to comply with the DNR's request for a new plan.
Koster joins in FTC investigation of mobile phone bill "cramming"
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster announced today he has joined 39 other attorneys general sending comments calling on the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to come up with solutions to the increasing problem of mobile "cramming." That's the placement of unauthorized third-party charges on mobile phone bills.
The Missouri Attorney General's Office continues to receive complaints from consumers about charges, usually around $9.95, that appear on their phone bills without their authorization. The charges are usually for goods and services that the consumers neither requested nor used. Many consumers fail to detect that they have been crammed. When they do discover the charges on their bills, sometimes after several months, consumers are rarely able to obtain a full refund.
"Today's cell phone bills include pages and pages of numbers, and it can be difficult to detect illegitimate charges," Koster said. "While I urge consumers to check their phone bills carefully, we need better protections for consumers to prevent cramming from occurring, and to give them mechanisms for obtaining full refunds if they unfairly charged."
Koster's office announced a settlement yesterday with three third-party businesses that had placed charges for unwanted services on Missouri consumers' phone bills. The businesses repaid consumers more than $296,000. The businesses are permanently barred from placing any future charges on consumers' phone bills.
Koster encourages consumers to check their phone bills monthly, and to contact his consumer hotline at 800-392-8222 if they detect unauthorized charges.
Missouri share of Amgen settlement is $603,493
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster says more than $600,000 has been recovered for the Missouri Medicaid program as part of a national settlement against the drug-maker Amgen Inc.
Amgen agreed last month to pay $24.9 million to resolve claims it gave kickbacks to increase sales of its anemia drug Aranesp. Missouri was among several states that accused Amgen of a scheme aimed at inducing nursing home professionals to dispense Aranesp over competing drugs. Missouri's share is $603,493.
Aranesp is one of Amgen's biggest-selling drugs, though sales have fallen sharply since 2007 because of a series of safety problems and restrictions on its use.
In December, Amgen agreed to pay $762 million to resolve federal litigation accusing it of marketing Aranesp for unapproved uses.
MO Attorney General to make announcement on Bridgeton landfill
Homeowners who live near a Bridgeton landfill should learn more about what Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster has planned concerning their complaints. Koster will speak with reporters later this morning about the stench that has lingered for months.
The Department of Natural Resources recently ran test of the area. State officials determined the area tested for high levels of hydrogen sulfide in the air. Hydrogen sulfide often causes headaches and irritation to eyes, nose and throat.
The DNR then sent the findings to Koster's office.Republic Services owns the Bridgeton Landfill. The company sent a statement that said there is no proof the hydrogen sulfide in the air is from their landfill.
MO Attorney General sues St. Louis contractor for bilking storm victims
Koster filed suit against All Seasons Contracting; its owner, Carol Richard; and its manager, Brandi Sampson.
Koster alleges that after a series of strong storms hit the St. Louis area in the spring of 2012, the defendants sent salesmen door-to-door offering homeowners free inspections and quotes for repairs, and offering to help homeowners file claims with their insurance companies.
The suit alleges the defendants took at least $37,000 as down payments from six homeowners, promising that work would begin within weeks.
The total amount, once all consumers are known, could be much more. A year later, the defendants have refused to begin any of the work or provide refunds to their victims. "Too often we see cases where home-repair businesses require up-front payments, and then fail to do the work," Koster said. "We will continue to pursue these sham home-repair businesses to seek restitution for the customers they cheated and to protect future consumers from being victimized."
The lawsuit also takes aim at All Seasons Contracting for allegedly making dozens of unlawful and unsolicited telemarketing calls to Missourians on the no-call list. Koster is seeking full restitution for all victims and an order from the court preventing the defendants from advertising or engaging in any home-repair services in the state of Missouri. Additionally, Koster is asking the court to impose a fine of up to $5,000 per unlawful telemarketing call made by the defendants.
Koster said consumers who contracted with All Seasons Contracting and have not received services as promised should contact his Consumer Protection Hotline at 800-392-8222 or file a complaint online at ago.mo.gov. Consumers should also file complaints against any other home repair business that has not provided promised services.
As part of National Consumer Protection Week, March 3-9, Attorney General Chris Koster warns consumers to beware of home repair and contractor-related scams, noting: Disreputable contractors often solicit work door-to-door or through telemarketing; These sham contractors often are not established in the area, but rather swoop in after a storm or other natural disaster;
T hese contractors offer to do work such as blacktopping driveways, installing lightning rods, painting, roofing and siding. Their work and materials are inferior. The cost of the job may rise considerably after the work is performed and the consumer may be intimidated into paying the increase;
As alleged in the All Seasons lawsuit, the contractor may not do the work at all. Attorney General Koster provides consumers with the following red flags and tips with regard to contractor fraud: Red flags · Contractors who appear uninvited at your doorstep or who call or email you out of the blue. · The contractor says he is doing work in your neighborhood and claims he has "extra material" left over. · The contractor pressures you to make a decision and sign a contract for the work immediately. · The contractor offers a "special deal" available "today only." · The contractor points out a problem with your home that you never noticed yourself before. Some unscrupulous scam artist have been known to offer "free" inspections and then break something on purpose so they can be paid to "fix" the problem. · The contractor lacks identification, such as a permit from the city or county. Tips to prevent becoming a victim of contractor scams: · Get multiple estimates on any home-repair job before signing a contract. · Check out the contractor's references and visit the site in the reference to check out the quality of the work. · Check for complaints with the Attorney General's Office or the Better Business Bureau. · Never pay in full up-front, especially if cash is the only payment accepted. · Make sure the contractor is insured and bonded. · Document in writing the scope of the work to be done, the complete cost of the work, the time necessary to complete the job, and how payment will be handled.

OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton forward Doug McDermott put up 29 points to move into 10th place on the all-time NCAA scoring list, and he helped the 11th-ranked Bluejays earn a 72-71 win over Seton Hall on Sunday at CenturyLink Center.
McDermott, who has 2,917 career points, moved ahead of Alfredrick Hughes, who scored 2,914 points for Loyola (Chicago) from 1981-85.
No. 11 Creighton (23-4, 13-2 Big East) won for the eighth time in nine games and earned its 17th consecutive home win. Seton Hall (14-13, 5-9) dropped its fifth game out of the past seven.
Guard Grant Gibbs added 16 points for the Bluejays.
Forward Fuquan Edwin led a balanced scoring attack for Seton Hall with 21 points. Center Eugene Teague scored 14 points, forward Patrik Auda added 12, and forward Brandon Mobley contributed 11 points.
After Creighton forward Ethan Wragge missed two free throws with four seconds left and the Bluejays ahead 72-71, Edwin's half-court heave bounced off the backboard as time expired.
McDermott was key for the Bluejays down the stretch, scoring on a free throw and a jumper that elevated Creighton's lead to 72-67 with 1:54 left to play. Edwin's two free throws closed the gap to 72-69 with 1:14 to go. Mobley had a 3-point attempt from the top of the key that would have tied the game with 26 seconds left, but the shot went off the back of the rim.
The Pirates got to within one point at 64-63 on an Edwin jumper with 5:45 to play, but they missed their final six shots of the game.
Creighton opened the second half on an 8-0 run to move ahead 46-36. McDermott scored seven points in the burst.
Seton Hall was without its leading playmaker, point guard Sterling Gibbs, who was suspended by coach Kevin Willard.
"He didn't come the other day with a great attitude, he didn't come ready to practice," Willard said before the game in a radio interview. "I've told all these guys, my expectation for them is to come with a great attitude and come ready to practice, and practice hard.
"No one is entitled to anything. You work hard, you earn your minutes, you earn what you get. Over the last week or so, week and half, Sterling hasn't had the greatest of attitudes. The other day, on Saturday, it just wasn't what we need from someone playing 34 minutes per game and taking a lot of shots."
Sterling Gibbs ranks third in the Big East Conference in assists, averaging 4.4 a game. His place in the starting lineup was taken by freshman Jaren Sina, as Seton Hall used its 15th starting unit this season. Sina finished with five points and three assists.
After making just one of six shots over a period of nearly six minutes, Seton Hall closed the first half on an 11-5 spurt, but still trailed 38-36 at the intermission.
Both teams shot the ball well beyond the arc. Creighton, which received 10 points apiece from McDermott and Grant Gibbs, was 6 of 8 from 3-point range. Seton Hall, paced by eight points from Teague, was 6 of 11 from long range.
The Pirates led 22-21 on a Teague layup with 8:58 left in the first half, then were outscored by the Bluejays 12-3 over the next 5:46. Guard Isaiah Zierden led the barrage for Creighton with five points, helping it to a 33-25 cushion.
NOTES: Creighton F Doug McDermott is averaging 30.7 points and has made 17 of 35 shots from 3-point range over his past seven games. ... A limited number of Doug McDermott bobbleheads were given out to fans on Sunday. ... Before Sunday, Seton Hall had not allowed more than five 3-pointers in a conference road game, keeping their first six opponents below 30 percent shooting from long range. Creighton went 8-for-15 (53.3 percent) from beyond the arc. ... Prior to Sunday's action, Creighton led the Big East in field-goal percentage (.499), 3-point field-goal percentage (.425) and scoring (81 points per game). ... Creighton G Jahenns Manigat led the team in charges in each of his first three seasons.

Um...what kind of algebra is that?
A bit outside my area, but I found a website that has ALL sorts of stuff about harmonic motion which could help here
Can anyone give me a hand with this, cause I'm stumped and can't remember exactly how to go about solving this.

The capacity assurance world of maintenance and reliability is like most other professions with unique words, phrases and terminology. Many of us grew up with this "language," which makes some of the jargon and acronyms second nature—"maintenance-speak." But, when we interact with the uninitiated in the "outside world," sometimes they think we are speaking a foreign language.
In fact, maintenance and reliability terminology differs from industry to industry and geographic region to region. In my travels around the world, all over North America, in more than 400 plants, across some 45 different industries, I admit that I, too, have been confused by some of the words and phrases used in maintenance and reliability discussions. When a "raw recruit" enters the mysterious world of maintenance and reliability you can imagine the communications gaps, the confusion and the errors that can be attributed to the words we use as second nature. Just to be able to communicate, my own daughter developed her own "glossary of jargon" when she came to work with me years ago. And, what about others, especially decision-makers in our own plants and facilities, who listen with frustration as we baffle them with our unique language? To borrow a quote from Cool Hand Luke, "What we've got here is a failure to communicate."
Sometimes we use "maintenance-speak" to communicate something really important about why something happened, but the listener just isn't listening. "What we have here is a failure to communicate! What? What we have here is a failure to communicate! Huh? I'm sorry. I wasn't listening." That was the disconnected dialogue between the prison warden and Johnny in the 1997 movie Johnny Bravo. OK. Go ahead. Make my day! Tell me you haven't had similar situations in your routine communications about maintenance and reliability issues where you work.
A society of acronyms
We certainly are a jargon- and acronym-rich business. For example, we often have to determine what caused a problem with a critical piece of equipment. What happens next can begin the confusion. We can talk about root cause analysis, RCA, root cause failure analysis, RCFA, failure analysis, FA, failure modes and effects analysis, FMEA, finite element analysis, FEA… Only to hear words of frustration—"I don't care what the heck you call what you're about to do. I just want to know what caused this thing to stop in the middle of the day!"
Then we also have an alphabet-soup of three-letter acronyms (TLAs). You know them. They range from CBM and PdM to RCM and TPM, TQM and SPC to LCC and MDT. The list continues with two- and four-letter variants such as PM, BM, MTTR, MTBF, MTBM and CMMS… And we have to arrange these clever TLAs so there are NO vowels, so they cannot be pronounced easily—so we spell them out like PLC and DCS. Of course, vowels occasionally creep in with CAD, CAM, OEE and ERP. (Excuse me. It's best not to pronounce that last two.)
Sometimes we also mix in letters and numbers. That's our attempt to communicate something that must be really big and important such as ISO 9000, TS 16949, QS 9000, ISO 14000 and OSHA 1910.
In the past 20 years, Lean Manufacturing (LM) and Japanese and German words have crept into many companies—offering us even more ways to baffle ourselves and others with "lean-speak" mixed with our own "maintenance-speak." We start with the basics of 5S, KAIZEN and TPS. Then comes KANBAN, TAKT, JIDOKA, HEIJUNKA, POKAYOKE (it's not polite to use BAKA-YOKE). Then, the scientific Greek language creeps in with SIX SIGMA (the lower-case Greek letter s), which leads into ANSI/ISA 88, IEC 62264. These terms, subsequently, have to be followed up with Champions, Master Black Belts, Black Belts and Green Belts. But that's not all. At this point we certainly cannot overlook the six sigma tools of DMIAC and DMADV or DFSS plus SIPOC or PARETO (named after Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto).
As the business of maintenance is connected to the business of the business we often hear (and sometimes actually speak) RONA, ROFA, RAV, ROCA, ROA, ROTA and other real and made-up terms to describe a financial return on assets of sorts.
This discussion of our terminology would not be complete without our professional associations SMRP, AFE, APICS and SME, to name a few, and their respective certifications CMRP, CPMM, CPE, CPS, CPIM, CSCP, CIRM, CFPIM, CMfgT, CmfgE and CEM. Put those certifications on your resume along with the colleges and universities you attended, and you get to add UTK, UofM, MSU, A&M, UCLA, MIT, UGA, AU, USC, ISU, UT, FSU and so on with BA, BS, AS, MS and/or PhD degrees. We are a society of acronyms!
The point of this exercise
Most of us have encountered someone who does not speak our language—for most of our readers, that's American English—and we should remember what it's like NOT to understand or to be understood. Awash with so many unique utterances and spoken shorthand elements that come to our lips as second nature, however, we often forget when we speak.
If you notice a bewildered look on the face of others as you speak the capacity assurance languages of maintenance and reliability, take a step back and think about what you are really trying to communicate. As a younger generation begins exploring careers in our field, it will have an overwhelming amount of skills and knowledge to embrace and learn—not to mention countless straightforward and valuable concepts that are promoted through confusing jargon and acronyms.
Near the end of the movie Cool Hand Luke, Paul Newman, the reprobate inmate "Luke," repeated the famous lines he learned from the guard, "What we've got here is a failure to communicate." Let's be careful not to be forced to utter—or to hear—those same words spoken around our plants and facilities. MT

OK, maybe I am over-romanticizing the toaster. But being forced to fit your life into four suitcases can do funny things to a person.
After two years studying abroad, it is time to return to the USA. For 730 days (give or take a holiday or two), my husband has been buried eyebrow deep in medical school at St. George's University on the Caribbean island of Grenada. It is not a U.S. medical school, meaning that the first two didactic years must be spent abroad. The next two years will hold all the real patient-centered fun, when he takes his book learning into the hospital for his clerkship years.
While he has carried on this all-consuming love affair with medical science, I have been freelancing, reporting, blogging, running a university organization, earning my Personal Fitness Trainer certification, learning and growing.
But life is a snow globe and, once again, the hands of fate are shaking it up. The dust will settle in July when the school finally tells us where we are going. Yes, for the next two months my professional title will be "freelancer who lives in her in-laws' basement."
Exciting, huh?
Transition is hard for everyone. But a flying leap into the unknown lugging four suitcases is terrifying. When that flying leap is from a foreign country, the stress level gets bumped up a few notches and unanswerable questions start flooding your already overworked mind.
Will I be able to find a good job where we are going? Will food prices be higher than when I left? What will the neighborhoods be like? Will I fit in?
Suddenly the stability of having one toaster that you will keep for the rest of your life starts sounding pretty good.
Many of my cubicle-dwelling friends have expressed envy for our nomadic lifestyle. It must be liberating, right? Leaving all but the bare essentials behind for a life of discovery and progress. As those desk-dwellers come home at the end of their day, household items fade into the background as a dream of unfettered freedom beguiles their subconscious.
Freedom is great, but have you thought of what you would do with the toaster?
Unfortunately, it is human nature to be fettered. Most of us are inexorably tangled into a dream of success. Americans want something, and whatever shape your dream might take, it will probably involve lugging around a little stuff with you. Once you decide on the life path of liberated travel, those household items don't just fade into the background while your Mary Poppins bags pack themselves with everything you might need or want.
As we travel that road towards being a doctor or a writer or a rock star or whatever we may dream, we will each acquire our own "toaster" — that thing that tells us that we are home. Your piece of home might be that old, leather Lay-Z-Boy, a beloved book collection or even the beautiful view of Mt. Rose. Whatever home means to you, don't forget to appreciate the little things that give your life stability — such as the toaster.

Omaha cook Deborah Biggs is a semifinalist in the Pillsbury Bake-Off cooking contest. Biggs has cooked on the Food Network's "Ultimate Recipe Showdown" and has won more than $30,000 in cash, prizes and trips through cooking contests. Biggs is one of 60 cooks in the semifinalist round; about half of them will go to the finals.
This year, cooks were asked to keep their recipes simple and were limited to recipes that used seven or fewer ingredients and could be prepared in a half hour, not including baking or cooking time.
Her recipe, spicy churro crescent bites, is her take on a dippable dessert. Crescent dough is filled with orange marmalade and cayenne pepper and the crescents get dipped in a chocolate hazelnut dipping sauce.
Biggs is hoping to get the chance to cook in the national Pillsbury contest this November in Las Vegas, but she needs votes to get there. For the first time, the public will choose the finalists to compete for the prize through online votes. Voters can sign up at Bakeoff.com until June 27 to vote for Biggs' recipe.
The winner of the Pillsbury Bake-Off takes home a $1 million prize. The contest began in 1949.

There's no guarantee the child will remain healthy, although sophisticated testing uncovered just traces of the virus' genetic material still lingering. If so, it would mark only the world's second reported cure.
Specialists say Sunday's announcement, at a major AIDS meeting in Atlanta, offers promising clues for efforts to eliminate HIV infection in children, especially in AIDS-plagued African countries where too many babies are born with the virus.
"You could call this about as close to a cure, if not a cure, that we've seen," Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health, who is familiar with the findings, told The Associated Press.
A doctor gave this baby faster and stronger treatment than is usual, starting a three-drug infusion within 30 hours of birth. That was before tests confirmed the infant was infected and not just at risk from a mother whose HIV wasn't diagnosed until she was in labor.

When traveling there and back again, alchemical Betty Crockers will traverse a smorgasbord of ingredients-laden meadows and forest clearings. For RPG players that can't pass up

I feel sorry for both camps, since you can't travel more than five steps in any direction without having to stoop and pick up some standoffish-looking weed or colorfully vicious flower. Everything owns up to a completely randomized feel (except for the incessant clusters of mushrooms) while your fifth grade leaf collection will be well underway -- and you won't even know why you've been assigned it in the first place.
The crafting process itself is streamlined and uncomplicated. For example, you can step up to an alchemist table, click on a recipe you've acquired through trade or looting, and if you have the required ingredients in your (literally) bottomless inventory screen, then

Skills build of their own volition following successful missions and melee matches, while other abilities may be purchased from trainers -- and statues of deities? -- for characters with deep pockets.

's Darwinian menu, you'll find your face on the list of appetizers everywhere you venture. Your position on the lower rungs of the food chain is nigh inescapable.
Be wary of allowing those adventures to stack up, as the barely functional mission log has no qualms with cutting off essential mission briefs: "Defeat the orc patrol between Redock and" … And? Even if you ignore the god-awful pixilated italics font (a jagged Times New Roman), you sometimes can't even get a complete sentence out of a menu screen.
Exit the menu screen and you've still got the just-as-jagged frame rates of the gameworld lacerating across your screen. The environments sport some inarguably gorgeous elements and some downright tangible textures, but much of it goes to waste on an unimaginative art department. The landscape is slapped together with visible laziness in its construction (the geography doesn't try to make much sense, dirt roads hit impassible vertical angles). And every character deigns to make themselves as forgettable as possible in an otherwise forgettable cast of characters. Not mentioning the fact that the character models are glued together from Lincoln Logs and stuffed inside of Michelin Man armor padding. The suits are so bulky they make it look like a visit to a head-shrinking witch doctor is just a regular part of a knighting ceremony. And every character's cocky swagger is an unwitting homage to the hustlers of 70's blaxploitation flicks … Either that, or the developers cut n' paste the pimp-limp off the cast of

Too many bugs for the Orkin Man to handle, too much amateur laziness in the storytelling, too little character drawn into the cast, and not enough good ideas put to any good use. The only time the word "Gothic" applies its traditional definition of "crude" and "barbaric" isn't in the spirit of gameplay or in the created world, but in the indolent work ethic of its final product. Gothic 3 is a step forward in the Gothic series itself, but in nothing else.

Mike Pouncey thinks Janoris Jenkins, Will Hill to enter NFL Draftby Jason Lieser
Disclaimer: Mike Pouncey is Florida's center, not its official spokesman.
However, he usually has a good feel for what's happening around the team. For example, well before it happened, Pouncey said he knew Urban Meyer would reinstate Chris Rainey.
With that said, Pouncey's opinion is that Florida will lose CB Janoris Jenkins and FS Will Hill, both juniors, to the upcoming NFL Draft. He was not asked specifically about those two; he brought them up on his own.
"Janoris Jenkins will probably leave — he's obviously one of the guys that's going to leave," Pouncey said. "Probably Will Hill.
Will Hill? Really?
"I think he'll look into it," Pouncey said. "I don't know exactly if he's going to go, but he'll look into it."
Jenkins, who is not in Tampa and won't play in Saturday's Outback Bowl due to a recent surgery, is projected as a first-round pick.
Hill's projection is unknown. He had an inconsistent junior season, but at 6-1, 204 with a 4.4 (or better) time in the 40-yard dash, he has the measurables to attract interest.
Hill was suspended the first two games of the season for an undisclosed disciplinary issue. He had two interceptions this year and was inconsistent as a tackler. Coaches, including Urban Meyer and defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, said he was underachieving this season.

How to Select
How to select Wall Lighting
Selecting lighting fixtures for your house or office may seem like a very difficult task to complete. That is, of course, when you have no idea what factors to pay attention to and what details of wall lighting fixtures you should consider. Westside Wholesale has prepared the following guide to help you select the best lighting options for your home.
The first thing to consider when selecting a wall lighting fixture is the location where it will be installed. In addition to that, you need to ensure that the fixtures that you select will comply with the installation requirements of the room and entire building. Meaning there's no point of selecting a lamp that can't be mounted on a wall or spends too much energy when operating. In case you want to install wall lighting outside the house, look for lamps that are made from tamper-resistant and durable material.
When the location of your future wall lighting fixtures is specified, it is time to select the type of such lighting. This step requires time and attention, since there are hundreds of lighting options available today. The best way to select the type of a wall lighting fixture is to define its purpose. You can use wall lighting fixtures as the main source of light or to highlight a certain spot or item in the room. Wall lighting can also be used to create a romantic ambiance or to add style to the existent décor. Depending on the purpose of a wall lamp, select the fixture that matches your requirements the most.
The following factor to consider is the energy usage and the capacity of the device. The more time you want your wall lighting fixtures to operate, the more energy and money they will use. To ensure that you won't have to spend an awful amount of money on energy bills, look for fixtures that use energy-saving technology. The most common and well known lighting technology of such type is LED. An LED wall lamp spends 5 times less energy and lasts 3-4 times longer than any conventional lighting device.
Quite often, wall lighting becomes a tool that helps decorate the house both indoors and out. You need to consider additional features of your future wall lighting before purchasing any fixtures. We are talking about control options, operating modes, the color and brightness of the light of such fixtures. In addition to that, consider the mounting tools that you will need for the installation of each wall light. If you won't mount the lights yourself, consult with the person who will perform this job for you.

how about "Leftovers" or "Table Scraps"?
Report: Big East could change conference name as part of new TV deal
The Big East Conference might be looking for a new name in the wake of a brand new television deal with ESPN.
CBS Sports' Jeremy Fowler reported that the conference discussed a name change as part of television negotiations with NBC Sports Network. NBC reportedly offered around $20 million per season for the conference's television rights, but ESPN matched the offer.
The conference could then sell the name to the "Catholic 7″ schools — DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, Seton Hall, St. John's and Villanova — that are planning to break away from the conference to form their own league.
As Fowler points out, the conference's name will likely hold little meaning to the teams set to make up the conference in the coming years. Tulane, Memphis and SMU are set to enter the conference. The "Big East" will have more of an old Conference USA look, and no football team in the conference's 10-team 2014 roster has been a part of the league for more than nine years.
LOL the big Flop. that should work good.
How about the Big Exit...............
The tag "Southwest Conference" is available
The Conference formerly known as Big?
Since they are a sinking concern, how about 'The Big Quagmire'?

What's in the Bag: Karine Icher
Here's a list of what was in Karine Icher's bag when she recorded a top-10 finish at the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open.
$3,268,821.00Official Site
Here's a list of what was in Karine Icher's bag when she recorded a top-10 finish at the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open.
Karine Icher is part of a select group on the LPGA Tour -- players who are also moms. And Icher isn't just showing that a golf career can go on after having kids but she's proving that it can indeed improve.
One year after becoming the youngest player ever to win an LPGA Tour event, Lydia Ko once again made history at the CN Canadian Women's Open on Sunday. The 16-year-old amateur from New Zealand became the first amateur to win two LPGA events and the first amateur to successfully defend her title after shooting a final-round 65 to capture a five-shot victory at Royal Mayfair Golf Club in Edmonton.
Sweden's Caroline Hedwall kept her hot play going this week in Edmonton at the CN Canadian Women's Open and heads into Sunday's final round with a one-stroke lead over European Solheim Cup teammate Suzann Pettersen and defending champion and 16-year old amateur Lydia Ko.
Rolex Rankings No. 1 Inbee Park finds herself in the hunt for her seventh LPGA Tour victory in 2013 and holds a share of the second-round lead with American Cristie Kerr at the CN Canadian Women's Open.

- A landfill near Rhinelander saw more recycling last year.
The Oneida County Solid Waste Department had an increase in recycled materials in 2013.
People might be buying more because of an improving economy, but that's not the only reason for the increase.
The contracts from disposal companies also play a major role.
"The contract for the city of Rhinelander had come up and it was re-bid," said Oneida County Solid Waste Superintendent Brian Dutcher. "Northern Waste at the time was awarded that bid or that contract. All of the materials that they picked up for the city came out here."

Off the Snap: Do the Chiefs have football's best secondary?
Catching you up on the latest must-read news and analysis from around the web….
• The Kansas City Chiefs finished 12th in passing yards allowed last season, 26th in TDs given up through the air and next to last in interceptions forced. Cornerback Brandon Flowers believes this year will be better. A lot better.
On NFL AM Wednesday, Flowers said that the Chiefs, with new additions Sean Smith and Dunta Robinson, could have an elite defensive backfield.
"We going out there trying to have the best secondary," Flowers said. "Sean Smith is a big corner that can bump and run … we brought in Dunta Robinson, someone who can come in and cover, (and) also, Eric Berry is always roaming on the back end. If we put it all together, man, I think we have the pieces to be the best secondary in the NFL."
The unit as a whole certainly looks a lot more intimidating, on paper. The trio of Flowers, Smith and Robinson leaves Kansas City plenty of options in terms of how to best utilize its cornerbacks, and the Eric Berry/Kendrick Lewis tandem has a chance to thrive if it can ever stay on the field for 16 games.
Kansas City has a nice schedule set up for itself, with five of the first nine games at home and just one outing in that stretch against a 2012 playoff team. There is palpable optimism surrounding the Chiefs, and a secondary capable of holding its own against any foe is up there on the reasons why.
• Slowly but surely, 2013 draft picks are putting pen to paper on their rookie contracts, in time to allow them to participate in training camps later this month. Philadelphia's Lane Johnson, the No. 4 overall pick this year, wants to make sure he gets his deal done soon, too.
"I think it will be resolved, especially in the next week or two," said Johnson. "I don't want to hold out. I want to be there with the guys. I want to be with the team and I think something will happen in the next week or so."
The reported issue so far: offset language, which provides a team financial protection should a rookie be cut before his four-year contract runs out. With draft-pick salaries strictly slotted now, this is one of the remaining sticking points in some negotiations. Contracts that include offset language make it easier for a team to send a player packing, so obviously it's a clause that players and their agents would prefer to avoid.
• Another contract update, this time from Cincinnati. DE Michael Johnson is set to play the 2013 season under the franchise tag (which comes with a cushy $11.175 million payday for defensive ends), because, barring an unexpected twist, there will be no contract negotiations between Johnson and the Bengals before Monday's deadline — once July 15 hits, teams are no longer permitted to negotiate long-term contracts with franchise-tagged players.
"I'm the right defensive end and I'll play in every game and do my best for the team," Johnson told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "I can't worry about that and prepare myself day in and day out. There is no ill will on either side, it's a business. They have to make these moves much like players have to do the same thing. I have to go out and perform. The bottom line is to help the team win."
Without getting Johnson inked to a multi-year contract now, the Bengals put themselves at risk of losing him in 2014. Johnson figures to be no higher than priority No. 2 for Cincinnati next offseason, either, with DT Geno Atkins on the verge of free agency.
• An interesting one for the stat geeks here. Danny Tuccitto of Football Outsiders has come up with a new metric for charting teams' rosters: Snap-Weighted Ages.
In a nutshell, what Tuccitto's stat does is determine how young each team's actual lineup was in 2012 — as opposed to just averaging out the age for every player on the roster. Atlanta, Baltimore and San Diego graded out as three of the "oldest" teams in the league, with "Snap-Weighted Ages" in the top 10 for offense, defense and special teams.
• Sean Payton will be back on the New Orleans Saints' sideline this season, his one-year suspension having expired. For now, though, he's spending his time on the golf course. Specifically, Payton is serving as caddie for the PGA Tour's Ryan Palmer.

(Continued from page 1)
In this September 2012 file photo, interpreter George Bentley talks to Rina Yadira Galan with instructions and advice from Nurse Practioner Nicole Mizner, at left, before a young patient is discharged from Maine Medical Center in Portland. The cost of free care provided by Maine hospitals to uninsured patients has more than doubled since 2007, and those expenses will continue to grow unless Maine Medicaid expansion becomes law, hospital officials said.
Gregory Rec / Staff Photographer
One more complicating factor is how many uninsured people sign up for coverage through new health care exchanges that are slated to begin in 2014.
The exchanges will make insurance available to the self-employed, other individuals and small businesses with fewer than 50 employees. But how many will take advantage of the exchanges -- and how that would affect the total number of uninsured -- is unknown.
If Medicaid expansion is approved and new health care exchanges for individuals to purchase health care work as planned, free care and "bad debt" expenses would decline significantly, perhaps as much as 70 percent, according to Al Swallow, vice president and chief financial officer of Maine Medical Center in Portland. "Bad debt" is when patients can't pay all or some of their bill, and Swallow said much of that debt, like free care, is also related to people being underinsured or uninsured.
Swallow cautioned that those savings are far from a sure thing, however. "I wouldn't guarantee (the savings), and I wouldn't budget for it," he said.
Swallow also said any savings would be somewhat offset by cuts to Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements.
Michael Hachey, chief financial officer for Mercy Hospital in Portland, said he sees the financial costs and benefits of the law as "a wash." But, he said, the hospital would prefer a Medicaid expansion rather than continuing to treat people who can't pay any of their bills.
"Most people want to pay their bills, but they just can't," Hachey said. "It would be better for the system if more people had access to health care."
