Water: Dental Amalgram
Dental Amalgam Effluent Guideline
In 2010, EPA announced its plans to develop technology-based pretreatment standards under the Clean Water Act (CWA), for discharges of pollutants into publicly owned treatment works (POTWs), from existing and new dental practices that discharge dental amalgam. EPA has not made a decision on a schedule for the rule. Once a decision is made, EPA will post it here.
Across the United States, many states and municipal wastewater treatment plants (publicly owned treatment works (POTWs)) are working toward the goal of reducing discharges of mercury to POTWs.
Mercury is a concern to human health because it is a persistent bioaccumulative toxic element. Many studies have been conducted in an attempt to identify the sources of mercury entering these POTWs. According to the 2002 Mercury Source Control and Pollution Prevention Program Final Report prepared for the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA), dental clinics are the main source of mercury discharges to POTWs. A study funded by the American Dental Association (ADA) estimated in 2003 that 50 percent of mercury entering POTWs was contributed by dental offices. EPA estimates that dentists discharge approximately 3.7 tons of mercury each year to POTWs. EPA estimates there are approximately 160,000 dentists working in over 120,000 dental offices who use or remove amalgam in the United States – almost all of whom discharge their wastewater exclusively to POTWs.
Mercury-containing amalgam wastes may find their way into the environment when new fillings are placed or old mercury-containing fillings are drilled out and waste amalgam materials that are flushed into chair-side drains enter the wastewater stream. Some of the waste amalgam particles that reach the sewer system settle out in the sewers, and some are carried to POTWs. The physical processes used in POTWs remove about 90% of the mercury received in wastewater. The mercury removed from wastewater then resides in the biosolids or sewage sludge generated during primary and secondary treatment processes.
Memorandum of Understanding on Reducing Dental Amalgam Discharges
In December 2008, the Office of Water signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the American Dental Association (ADA) and the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) to establish and monitor the effectiveness of a Voluntary Dental Amalgam Discharge Reduction Program.
The purpose of this MOU is to have dental offices voluntarily install and properly maintain amalgam separators, and recycle the collected amalgam waste. EPA intends to continue outreach efforts under the MOU during the rulemaking process.

Schools in Webster City, Stratford, Northeast and South Hamilton closed for the first major snowfall of the year. Sun dogs, a halo that appears due to atmospheric conditions, were visible as children enjoyed their day off with sledding at Brewer park in the evening.
Webster City declared a snow ordinance for the snowfall, which was predicted to total up to nine inches.

Sun dogs, halation that appeared around the sun, shine in the sky above the Boone River late Thursday afternoon.
The snowfall will provide a white Christmas for Hamilton County this year, but no snow is predicted in extended forecasts through next week.

I think they are comparing the ratings for all shows that appear on different networks. But I'm glad the show is doing well on BET. Lord I really defend Trey on Bossip because the people in the comment section really go hard on Trey. Most of it isnt' called for and it seems to come from a bad place that is filled with jealousy and hate. I love seeing positive black people on tv as well and Trey is a very positive person.
I LOVE TREY SONGZ SHOW- I think Bossip be lying because I just checked on BET and it says that Trey's show is number 3 and one of their top shows--- http://www.bet.com/ontv - I think people hate on successful black men. I personally like to see positive black people on tv. especially Trey--- he is a great role model and is very successful right now- so people are going to start to criticize him- but I hope he keeps on working hard despite the lies.
If you all like his docu-series you have to get the word out to your friends/whomever to watch it because according to bossip.com(though they lie at times) the ratings for the show isn't that good. We want him to do well in all the things he is involved in. http://bossip.com/274717/trey-songz-reality-show-my-moment-flops-like-a-dead-fish/comment-page-2/#comments

Mentalism 101
Item Number: LP4575
The performer places a sealed envelope in full view, explaining that it contains a prediction of something that has not yet happened. Next, he spreads a deck of cards face up on the table and removes the joker. He gives the deck to a spectator who cuts it several times and then shuffles the deck. After cutting again if they wish, the spectator deals cards off of the top of the deck into a pile on the table. At any point that they wish, they stop dealing. The spectator removes two cards from either the top of the packet of cards on the table, or from the top of the deck remaining in their hand. They then choose just one of the cards. The performer reads their mind successfully and tells them which card they chose. But, that's not all... the performer then opens the envelope and tips out one playing card. Nothing else remains in the envelope, and the card matches the card the spectator chose!
This incredibly strong effect defies explanation. A powerful combination of 6 different principals of magic and Mentalism is used. Each one is baffling in its own right, but together they create an unfathomable mystery.

There are a lot of very good off West End and fringe theatres that often look for ASMs / people to help with get ins etc. Most of these will be very happy for you to volunteer to do some work backstage for them, and it's a great way of meeting people who actually work in theatre and getting experience for your CV. Try the Arcola, Chocolate Factory, Gate etc to name a few. Also ask them to put you in touch with companies that are going there in case they need help.

Saints Baseball Falls 7-2 to Palm Beach Atlantic in Comfort Suites Classic
VALDOSTA, Ga. – The University of North Georgia baseball team fell behind early Saturday evening and was unable to recover despite five errors by Palm Beach Atlantic University which claimed Saturday's Comfort Suites Classic game 7-2.
Shortstop Edwin Arias led the way at the plate for North Georgia with a 2-4 performance as the Saints combined to record seven hits.
Palm Beach Atlantic put up four runs in the second inning off three hits that included a double by Ethan Perla that scored Anthony Ortiz, Spencer Castro and Karl Kapinos. Ryan Gerber then knocked a single to score Perla and set the score at 4-0.
The Sailfish added another run in the fourth frame before the Saints were able to get two runs back in the bottom of the fifth.
Andres Lopez claimed his first win of the season on the mound for the Sailfish as he struck out six batters in five innings of work. Jacob Beauchamp accepted the loss for North Georgia after striking out seven batters in four innings on the mound.
The Saints will wrap up their time in the Comfort Suites Classic on Sunday, Feb. 3 with a 3:00 p.m. game against tournament host Valdosta State University.

Neighborhoods: Northeast, Financial District
Skip it – The snooty atmosphere didn't help us overcome the exorbitant prices and small, sometimes unappealing servings. Service took far too long (took 15 minutes to get our drink order) and food was undercooked despite our ordering request. Our recommendation - skip Aqua.
Disappointing – I was visiting San Francisco for the first time with my girlfriend and asked a local friend to book a reservation. He recommended Aqua but had never been there himself. I heard that San Fran has a wonderful restaurant scene and wanted to visit one of the best. The food was terrible and tasteless. The bill was $600 with tip for 3 people and no one had a good entree. I don't mind paying that kind of money if the food is outstanding. I was thoroughly disappointed and would not recommend Aqua to anyone.
Don't Waste your Time – The food is simply overdone/oversalted and absolutely not worth the price. Save your money and go to any one of the better nearby restaurants. Michelin 2 star - you wouldn't know that was the case, so disappointing I feel compelled to write my first online review....
DONT GO TO AQUA IF YOUR HUNGRY – First of all there is a set menu of 3 tiny meals for $75. I ended up ordering the lobster for an additional $40 and when i got the lobster i laughed, It was the size of a hot dog with no bun. . Between the 4 people i was with, the food and 5 cocktails, the bill came out to $600!! And we ate pizza after. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. and to top it all off it was my boyfriends birthday, so i told my waiter thinking he was gonna to do something special. but instead he brings a slice of cake with some writing on it and not even a candle. I don't mind paying $600 for a meal but i would at least like to leave the restaurant feeling full and satisfied.
Disappointing – My partner and I ate here recently, and we left disappointed. The evening started off poorly, as 25 minutes after our reservation time, no one had checked back with us on our table, so I flagged someone down, and we were seated. Needless to say, this is the sort of thing that just shouldn't happen at a Michelin 2-star. All would have been forgiven if the food had been up to snuff, but it was very uneven. We had the chef's tasting menu, which featured heirloom tomatoes. A couple of the seven dishes were successful--the gazpacho and the crab with tomato and watermelon--but others were uninspired, while the cod was so oversalted that we would have sent it back if we thought it worthwhile, but we just didn't eat it. Twice during the meal--twice--we were served someone else's dishes. Again, not a big deal, but just below par for such a highly touted restaurant. Perhaps we visited Aqua on a bad night, but we won't know, as we will not go back.
Definitely Not Worth The Hype Or The Cost – My wife and I wanted to take her brother out for a nice meal and decided that since he likes seafood Aqua would be the perfect spot. We all really wanted to like the restaurant, but sadly we were disappointed. Compared to some of the other nice, local restaurants (Gary Danko, Le Colonial, Fresh Cream (Monterey)) Aqua just didn't live up to the hype or expectations. We did the 3 course tasting menu and ordered the dishes our waiter recommended. The amuse-bouche were beautiful but all too salty. Our appetizers were definitely the high point of the meal. My wife's lobster soup and her brother's Tartare of Ahi Tuna were delicious and unique. My Foie Gras was fine. Things took a turn for the worse with the entrees. We ordered 3 different fish dishes and were all disappointed with the lack of any creative or robust seasoning or preparation. All were bland and kind of boring. The desserts didn't sound very appetizing and tasted fairly pedestrian. As for the service, our waiter was quite friendly and the sommelier was helpful, but we had to ask to have our water glasses filled and though we made reservations more than a month in advance we were seated right next to the noisy bar area. I don't know if the restaurant is living on past laurels or people are swayed by the emperor's clothes, but we were not impressed and won't be returning.
Avoid when it's busy! – We used to love eating at Aqua, but have noticed a real falling off in the service in the last year. In additon, the tables are much too close together (at these prices, take out some tables, especially the ones in the awkward spots!), so when it's crowded, Aqua is very noisy. Our last time there, the service was worthy of a restaurant charging half as much -- same course out at diiferent times, wrong dish placed in front of each diner, and we felt rushed. The food is very good, but this is San Francisco and we have choices.
Not at all worth the price – I took a freind to celebrate her having finished law school; for the two of us, the bill, before tip, was close to $600. We both had the prix fixe dinner- $125 each. After I complained to the maitre d, the service was quite good; before that however, the service was simply emabarrasing. The swarm of servers/bussers were trying to rush us out so quickly, that they were taking the plates while we were still eating; at one point, they took my freind's plate while she had food in her mouth -that is when I complained. We ordered a (ok, three) quite nice Barolo- but it was really over priced. The prix fixe menu was seven courses, some were excellent, but really only a few. The rest were simply mediocre; all were extremely small portions. The tables are far too close together; the guest next to us nocked over my friend's wine squeezing back to her table (though, I must say, the response was excellent; they changed the table linens in a flash, and gave my friend a card for free dry cleaning without hesitation). The problem is that you are paying for world class food, service, and ambience; you end up with pretty good food, spotty service, tiny portions, and you may as well be sharing a table with the people around you- lord knows you are regularly brushing against each other. The bill is the biggest issue. Without trying to sound arrogant, I have eaten in fine restaurants in many countries; never have I felt so completely taken (for what it cost, I could have flown to London for dinner). If you have money to burn, and want to see what a real rip-off is, go to Acqua. Otherewise, stay away.
Forced to either spend a minimum of $72 or $102 – I was in San Francisco last weekend for a last minute television show shoot with my photographer. Our company told us to splurge on a nice dinner so we headed to Tadich Grill just a door down from Aqua. My parents used to take me to Tadich Grill when I went to college in S.F., but alas, Tadish was closed. We didn't have time to look for other restaurants as we had to catch a flight and it was an early Sunday evening when most restaurants are closed in the Financial District. The service is superb, the ambiance is lovely, but the prices are outrageous. My mistake, we should have looked at the menu before we sat up at the bar to wait to be seated at 6:30pm for dinner. When we opened the menu our only options was a three course prix fixe meal for $72 a head or a seven course tasting menu for $102 a head. We were stuck!!! We knew the company didn't have plans to treat us to something this expensive. I produce lots of food stories for local news in Los Angeles so I was well prepared for tiny portions...tasty...but tiny! I have to say, after the meal, we were still starving and split a corned beef sandwich at SFO at Max's Opera House Deli in the Alaska airlines terminal!!! Okay...the food at Aqua was yummy. I enjoyed the presentation mostly. The morsels of food were tasty but I would not spend $72 again for it. You do NOT have the option of just ordering an entree...you are forced into $72 or $102. I love fine dining but I would have been happier with a Pluto's salad with tri tip steak from the Inner Sunset! If you do go to Aqua, check out the menu before sitting down....they may not be serving what you're into. I have to say my Langonstina starter was amazing and the apricot dome with cherries was something I'd still talk about. As you can see...a mixed review on my part!
Absolutely nothing to write home about! – I love everything having to do with food: I love eating it, preparing and cooking it, and sharing it with family and friends. (I am a New Orleans transplant, now living in the Bay Area -- so I mean it when I say I have a passion for good food)! Okay, after having been unimpressed with Aqua about a year ago, I agreed to take a friend there for his birthday. Unfortunately, it was my treat....
First, let me say the service is outstanding (as it should be at those prices), and the food presentation is actually a work of art. However, the taste of the food is as bland as straw. My friend had lobster; I had sturgen -- and they managed to find a way to make both dishes tasteless.
I would have loved to experience what the masses believe about Aqua, but I've come to consider they acquiesced to some form of subliminal mind control (it's in the water)! I will never go again...and for $300 and three bites of food, I got ripped off.

Fendel recently took umbrage of my snarky remarks against Atkins in my recent post about their bankruptcy. In the comments they wrote:
I get so irritated seeing people taking easy swipes at Atkins when they've never actually read the book or done the diet. It's done a world of good for a lot of us.
There are many ways in which I could respond to this, but each would lead to a very distinct train of thought and could, quite frankly, lead to a 3000 word post. No one wants that, I assure you.
I could write about my times on Atkins (6 weeks). I could write about how the same diets affect different people in different ways. I could also write about how transparently greedy the Atkins company got, whoring their name on any product that even slightly smelled of being "carb-free" or "carb-reduced". I could also write about the sheer volume of medical testimony stating how dangerous the Atkins diet is, coming from such "questionable" experts as the National Institutes of Health, the American Medical Association and the American Heart Association (just to name a few).
Instead, however, I will write about me and my opinion of brand name diets…because this is what I do.
Fendel, rest assured that I am glad that you lost weight and that you are healthier. This is indeed a good thing. We should all aspire to be healthier, if only because it means we may get to enjoy our lives that much longer. I bear no ill will to anyone who gets healthier.
My issue with the Atkins diet and all other brand name diets that come and go (see, it's not just Atkins I dislike…I'm an equal opportunity hater), is how selfish these programs are, and how they manipulate people into thinking that their specific diet is the one and only panacea to weight loss and being healthy.
Think about every diet weight loss story you have heard. "I've lost weight on the Atkins diet", "I lost weight on the South Beach Diet" or even "I lost weight on the cabbage soup diet". The critical part of each of these sentence is at the very beginning…the "I lost weight…" aspect. In my opinion, the prepositional phrase of "on the such-n-such diet" is completely irrelevent.
Every diet prescribes an eating discipline of some sort or another. "Eat only grapefruit" or "Avoid foods high in fat" or "Don't eat so much bread" are all examples of specific disciplines. They are prescribed because someone, somewhere, probably did lose some weight under the guidelines that they are advocating. But the majority of their eating disciplines are hardly radical. As far as I've been able to discern, 95% of all diets are a derivation of the "Eat smaller portions/Eat less starch, sugar, fat/eat more fruits, veggies, protein" mantra. These are hardly new ideas. The diet industry simply likes us to believe that they are.
My take on every diet is as follows: It's rarely the specifics of the diet that creates the weight loss, but rather the level of food discipline that the dieter applies to their eating habits that affects their weight loss.
Or to put it another way, it's not Atkins that made you lose weight, it was you. Atkins was simply the car you decided to show up in.
But the majority of diets don't want you to know this. Most diets have a vested financial interest in making claims that their diet is the best (and sometimes only) way to lose weight.
There are caveats to this of course. Our bodies have a great diversity, and what is effective for one is not effective for another. But again, diets rarely take this into consideration because it punctures their illusion that their diet is the end-all be all.
I am very cynical towards diets and the diet industry, because they tend to take credit for the accomplishments of the individual. Jenny Craig didn't make you lose weight, you did. It's time that consumers started understanding this.

BCTD- Glad to see you are still checking in as well! Keep up the good work :)
Had a rough eating day yesterday but was back on it today. My family goes crazy with food for Easter so self control is going to have to be top notch.
Ill check back soon!
Hey team! quick check in before bedtime.. Made it to the gym last 2 days and had great workouts.. food has been good as well last couple of days just gotta finish the week strong.. Andys, BCTD, Mads, We are almost there .. We are the remaining 5% of people that actually finish a challenge once it starts.. We are in this till the end.. :)
Good morning everyone. My wife and I got our 5AM LBWO in. She does not even have to work today but still went to the gym with me. I told her i was going to carry her in her pajama's if she did not want to wake up so she really did not have a choice. J/K She is hanging in there set for set, rep for rep right with me. I am so proud of her!
Like Mads said Sunday will be a challenge for me as well! I got home yesterday and my mom and daughters were making homemade peanut butter eggs! UGH! I wanted 1, really I wanted 10! I walked right past them. Thank you Bill Phillips! I get to play Easter Bunny Saturday night hiding candy. It is going to be so hard not to pig out on junk. This is going to be the most challenging free day/weekend!
Hope you all are having a great week. Have a great weekend!
Hey gang happy easter to you all.. Did my chest workout at the gym today it was nice and quiet cause of the holiday.. I liked it. hit a personal best on the bench press using the smith machine.. 300lbs for 5! since it was soo slow i decided to document it lol.. check it out. and please don't mind the grunting haha it was heavy..
Good Monday morning gang. Ugh... that about sums up my weekend. I missed my first workout on Saturday. I am so bummed out about it. My eating went down big time starting Friday night and just did not get any better. I feel like I let myself down and everyone else. Today is a new day and I am not obsessing over it. What's done is done.
Week 11 starts off with my UBWO my wife and I were at the gym this morning at 5AM to knock it out. I am thinking these last 2 weeks I am going to do the elliptical for my cardio HIIT training days because I messed up my knee and have been just dealing with it since week 2 but it has made it to a point that it actually hurts to walk on it. No way am I giving up I think I just need less impact on that leg to finish out the challenge. Does anyone else do the elliptical or bike for the cardio day?
Hope everyone had a great weekend and did better than me eating and working out! Here is to a clean week!
I am begining week 6. Not familiar with the Smith machine. I'm guessing the weights are controlled - so it's kind of like free weights, but contained? I've been working out at our local recreation center. Perhaps my last four weeks I will find a Gold's or 24-Hour Fitness or something that has better quality machines. Great picture!
Hey Andys10 - I love Mondays because they are always new beginnings.. So we start again. Congrats on your attitude. I haven't tried the elliptical yet ...but I am getting tired of the tread mill. Our weather is starting to warm, so I may just start running outside. Saturday I did my cardio at home just doing burst training - running in place like mad for 18 seconds, resting for 18 seconds,and repeating the sequence four times. Supposedly it's equal to a 30 minutes cardio trek. At least I did something. Sunday I had a free breakfast, steak and eggs with hollandaise - yeah, I know. Lunch was a Myoplex shake - not very hungry. Dinner was fairly clean, except I had a glass of wine. Today was UPBWO I worked really hard. Muscles were quivering when I finished.
Hopeyou and yours have a great week! Eat clean, train mean, live lean.

Thanks Dee, and WELCOME to the club!
Good morning February gang. Tuesday morning cardio did not happen. I am planning on a half day at work so I will hit the gym at lunch time. Then I have softball tonight so really testing out my knee! I am staying strong and powering over these small road bumps.
Have a great day everyone!
Hope everyone had an enjoyable Easter.
UBWO last night went well, but missed Cardio this am.....have to hit it after kids swimming tonight.
Have a good day all !
Good morning friends,
First I want to give Island_Dude some props on the bench press video. That is awesome! I have not yet braved the barbell yet. I am sticking to the dumbbells for my chest and arms. How long have you been following the BFL program? where did you start in your bench press if you don't mind me asking?
Day 73! ahh but who's counting! LOL LBWO has to wait until later in the afternoon. I like my 5AM workouts but I do still enjoy sleeping in when I get the opportunity ;-)
I had my cardio later in the afternoon yesterday then played softball last night. One of my goals was to try to re-gain some power with my bat. (I know it might seem silly but it was one of my documented goals) well I am happy to report my last 3 games I am seeing some real life in my at bats. I have had 3 triples, and one in the park home run. That might be a testament to the training I have some speed back. That makes me feel great! Got to love the measurable progress in this program!
Hope everyone has a great day.
I wanted to share one other thing that I have learned over the last 10 or 11 weeks. We all are doing so well eating and working out I thought it might be interesting to share my experience with my little slip up.
10 weeks of eating clean and hitting every work out. I can come up with many excuses but I take total responsibility for my actions. I did my workout on good Friday first thing in the morning. I had to work all day after a stressful 2 weeks. I was no longer on call dealing with 2AM wake ups… My parents were visiting from out of town. I love spending time with them. I will say that my dad and I do enjoy adult beverages, I am more of a liquor guy he likes beer more than me. We got to talking and he offered me this new drink he started drinking. I am sure it was full of sugar and had heavy cream mixed in it. It was delicious but after a few shots I gave up on the diet. That deflated me and I missed Saturday's cardio. Well my wife and I decided to jump back on it on Monday. Monday's workout was really hard. I am saying like week 1 or 2 challenging! Tuesday's cardio day was so difficult I cut my distance down by .17 of a mile. That felt like a huge hit! I was just gassed out! I could not believe how much my 2 workouts have been this week. I hope today's LBWO feels better.
I know that properly feeding your body and regularly exercising conditions yourself to be stronger in mind and body. When you allow yourself to "slip" it feels like a big setback. I know that I cannot allow myself to do that again. I just thought it was important to learn from my experience and take it for what it is worth. This is the Body for Life. I think I knew hitting the gym 6 days a week would help with the body. I never understood how a 12 week program translated into Life. I am happy to say that I totally understand the Life part of Body for Life. Staying true and working hard gives you the total package Body for Life.
Ok I will quit before I sound too much like an infomercial…
Well keeping up with my daily or somewhat daily update status, here is whats up with me. Last night was LBWO and my wife bailed out as I was on the floor stretching. She said she was too tired to go. I grabbed my water bottle and my phone rang. My softball buddies needed me and the field is like 5 minutes from my house. I decided to go play softball for an hour instead of hitting the gym. That means LBWO tonight and I need to run on Sunday, my free day, to get my 6 work outs in this week. No biggie I will get it. Eating has been clean and I have had 3 different people comment this week on how different I look! Cant stop now! Hope everyone is doing well. We are so close to the finish line, lets go out strong!
Hey gang!! Busy busy busy at work.... last few days.. Andys thanks for keeping yourself accountable and letting us know your trials you are not alone in this.. we all go through it but the difference is that unlike most, you (we) put it behind us and continue..
To answer your questions, I have been following BFL all of last year. I strayed away from the traditional challenge this time around.. just needed a change I still follow BFL eating (mostly)..I started with dumbbells too and was on it for a while.. my first challenge I maxed out on the 60's for 6 The highest I have gone is 110 for 8 .. I have always been struggling with the barbell and wanted to work on it this time around.. I have been stuck at 225 for a while until I started deadlifting and it seemed to unlock strength and my bench started moving up.. so that was my personal best since i got serious about lifting again.. I used to be a power lifter and actually had a 365lb bench 500lb squat and a 475 lb deadlift. I also was almost 100lbs heavier so I'll take this over that anyday :) anyway time for bed.. aloha everyone!
I have kept pace fairly well here in the lst 3 weeks, struggling with some personal challenges. I am proud of what we have accomplished and look forward to my second session, however I am headed to Disney with the kids in a few days for a few weeks and will not be communicating with the group. Finish strong, and when I return I will look everyone up and maybe we cxan start a BFL 2 Feb 1 Group
Group! :)
I am sorry I have not had time to get on here but I have been doing well!
I am considering posting some final pics to show the transformation.
Anyone else daring enough?

They don't wear scientist smocks in the Bears' draft room, and the scouts understand that game tape isn't just something to wrap around joints on Sundays.
But since Bears general manager Phil Emery started the discussion during the draft when he talked about the athletic index scores of some of the newest Bears, the topic is worth exploring further.
There is no question the Bears drafted some players who are athletic and/or physical marvels. But not every draft pick was a workout wonder.
Here are how some fascinating numbers from the NFL scouting combine factored into some of the Bears' draft picks.
Kyle Long
A couple of measurements stand out about the Bears' first-round pick.
He had 11-inch hands — the largest of any player in the draft.
And he had 15.8 percent body fat. That easily was the lowest among all offensive linemen who were tested in the Bod Pod at the combine.
The six offensive linemen who were drafted ahead of him might not look as good in swim trunks. Eric Fisher measured 20.3 percent body fat; Luke Joeckel 20.4; Jonathan Cooper 21.5; Chance Warmack 21.4; D.J. Fluker 24.8 and Justin Pugh 20.6.
Long had 263 pounds of lean body mass. That was second highest among offensive linemen to Rogers Gaines, who signed with the Ravens as a free agent. Gaines had nine more pounds of lean body mass but, at 333 pounds, is 20 pounds heavier.
What does lean body mass matter? It helps with movement and power. A high percentage of lean body mass also makes athletes less susceptible to injury and helps them recover faster.
Jon Bostic
He was the fastest middle linebacker at the combine with a 4.59 40-yard dash. Among all linebackers, he was second fastest to Titans' third-round pick Zaviar Gooden, an outside linebacker who ran 4.46.
Why is this significant? In the Bears' defensive scheme, speed is critical for a middle linebacker. That's one reason they were drawn to him over other prospects.
Khaseem Greene
His fourth-round selection was proof that the Bears were looking at more than workout numbers.
Greene raised some concerns at the combine with a 30-inch vertical jump and a 7.58 three-cone time. Both were worst among linebackers.
At Rutgers' pro day, Greene tried the vertical again and showed a remarkable improvement of four inches. It wasn't overly impressive, but it was better than those of Jarvis Jones (30.5), Alec Ogletree (33.5), Manti Te'o (33), Bostic (32.5) and Arthur Brown (32.5), among others.
Greene didn't try the three-cone again, but it was easy for teams to look past his combine time because his short-shuttle at the combine of 4.20 was tied for second among all linebackers.

wow.i seriously respect her now. She could have lied and said everything was 'butterflies and rainbows' after having sophia, but she chose to help other moms with her story. There are so many of us 'teen moms' and before these shows, we were put down (we still are), but now we have a show to help us see that we're not alone. I personally suffer with depression, and seeing her be so honest about her problems and her recovery makes me hopeful for my own future. Yes, teen pregnancy is a problem, but the teen moms sharing their stories can help prevent some girls from getting pregnant, and can also help the ones that have be more confident in their role as a new teen mother. THANK YOU MAKERS OF TEEN MOM, you're truly making a difference.
I dont know why you guys have to say mean stuff. At least she's not abusing drugs and not suicidal, and is getting her life on track. For all you sgit talkers are probably lamer than you are trying to make her out to be. She is doing just fine without you, so why bother trying to offend her?
Wow, I'm sure your 2 year old child would be SO proud to hear her mother speak like that. If you are 25, then grow the hell up because you have a CHILD and threatening violence will only make you look like a terrible mother. How about you all look at your lives before you bother to judge anyone else, no matter who they are. Pathetic.
Ok JP since you are NOT a doctor and we have doctors...what makes you an expert... By the way I have known her all her life, Im her father, Michael, yes the real deal! Larry you no better that dirt than the rumors you are saying..and Derp I am guess but are you not a Hoe too? or is your life pure as snow...ya'all are so judgemental!
I can't believe how much of a snoot Farrah is.... You ever notice she doesn't have any friends.. Gee I wonder why? I think the reason why she is so quick to get rid of a guy is so she can beat him to the punch! If I were a guy I'd tell her off real quick.. let her know just how much of a loser she really is as well as a B****h she is! If she spoke to me in that snotty tone of hers, I'd give her a good smack!!!

For both the Upstate Watercraft Promotions International Jet Sport Boating Association (UWP-IJSBA) National Tour and the Extreme Volleyball Professionals (EVP) Tour, it was a first venture into Nevada. While there was plenty of racing on the waters and competition on the beach volleyball courts, the biggest winner of the day turned out to be the Sparks Marina.
"The venue is fantastic," UWP President A.J. Handler said. "You guys have a great place here. I can't say enough about this place. It's very wonderful. I think the turnout so far is fantastic too. For the first time in a new venue, you have to take little steps. You can't go full bore. It's a working relationship. This is a great start though."
EVP President Ross Balling echoed the sentiments of his counterpart.
"We love it here," Balling said. "It's world class, absolutely world class. We're not the Olympics, but we're pretty close to it in terms of beach volleyball in the United States. If we add some more courts and some more beautiful sand and get the locals to start playing the sport, I say by year three it's going to be a world-class event here. This site is something that we want to work on with the city. We're donating two nets and poles for two volleyball courts, so we hope to put about four courts here next year and continue to build up the event."
The presidents were not the only ones to give rave reviews of the event's host.
"Everybody that I talk to gives it thumbs up," IJSBA tour announcer Mike Young said. "They say that this is the best venue that we've been to all season and we've been all over. We raced at Racine, Wis. and Racine's beach was voted No. 51 in the country, so that's saying something that they like this venue the best. This venue just has everything. They've really done a great job.
"What's cool is I've been to the Reno-Sparks area before, but I've never seen this venue before. I heard about it and mentioned it to A.J. and after coming out and seeing the venue, it's absolutely perfect for what we do. It's kind of like an arena. A lot of the places you can't watch from all the vantage points. Here, we can have people watching from everywhere. I think you'll see it grow and as we keep coming here I think more of the lake will be utilized for the course and it will bring the fans closer to the action."
With the positive fan support and the encouraging evaluations of the event site, competitors are hoping to see more of Sparks in the future.
"Coming to Sparks as a new venue for the UWP tour is great," said Chris MacClugage, 17-time world champion in the sport of watercraft racing. "It's the first one A.J. has put on the west coast and obviously it's a good turnout so far. I'm looking forward to coming back here. I live in Arizona so for us it's only a 10-hour drive whereas all the rest of the tour races are 25-hour or more drives. So this is definitely the most convenient race course.
"Hopefully, we can maybe interest some people in racing. Maybe people will think 'Hey, I have a jet ski, maybe I can come out and race.' We just want to make this something that the fans can look forward to us coming back year after year. We want people to wonder 'When is that jet ski race happening again?' If we can do that, then our job is done."
While most of the response was overwhelmingly positive, there were some minor things the athletes had to adjust to with the competition at Sparks.
"The only downside would be the altitude here because we lose about 30 percent of our power. So unfortunately with that, people aren't seeing really how fast the skis are. They're still getting a good show though."
The volleyball players also had a bit of a struggle with the thinner air.
"The altitude is definitely different here," Tristy Bittikofer said. "The ball is moving different when we're serving and then when we're receiving it. I feel short of breath. Normally I'm fine and feel like I'm in really good shape. I've never really felt that, so that's been different. Regardless though, it's absolutely beautiful here. This isn't a normal beach volleyball venue, but to look around and see these mountains, it's amazing."

Consumer Confidence falls nearly 5 points in August
Home Accents Today Staff -- Home Accents Today, August 29, 2012
NEW YORK - The Consumer Confidence Index fell nearly five points to 60.6 in August to its lowest level in nine months, according to The Conference Board's monthly survey.
The Index had been at 65.4 in July (1985=100), up 2.7 points from June.
Declining hopes for the future were behind the August drop. The Expectations Index decreased to 70.5 from 78.4, while the Present Situation Index was virtually unchanged, at 45.8 versus 45.9 a month ago.
"The Consumer Confidence Index is now at its lowest level since late last year (November 2011, 55.2)," said Lynn Franco, director of economic indicators at The Conference Board. "A more pessimistic outlook was the primary reason for this month's decline in confidence. Consumers were more apprehensive about business and employment prospects, but more optimistic about their financial prospects despite rising inflation expectations. Consumers' assessment of current conditions was virtually unchanged, suggesting no significant pickup or deterioration in the pace of growth."
The survey, done for The Conference Board by Nielsen, had a cutoff date of Aug. 16 for preliminary results.
Looking at the current climate, consumers claiming business conditions are "good" improved to 15.2% from 13.7%, while those saying business conditions are "bad" was unchanged at 34.4%.
Consumers' appraisals of the labor market varied. Those stating jobs are "plentiful" declined to 7% from 7.8%, while those claiming jobs are "hard to get" edged down to 40.7% from 41%.
Consumers' optimism about the short-term outlook deteriorated in August. The percentage of consumers expecting business conditions to improve over the next six months declined to 16.5% from 19%, while those anticipating business conditions will worsen increased to 17.7% from 15.1%.
Consumers' outlook for the labor market was also less favorable. Those expecting more jobs in the months ahead decreased to 15.4% from 17.6%, while those anticipating fewer jobs rose to 23.4% from 20.6%. The proportion of consumers expecting an increase in their incomes, however, improved to 15.7% from 14.2%.

The former darling of financial executives, BlackBerry, has been struggling for a couple of years in the crowded smartphone marketplace. All of RIM's hopes were pinned on its just-released BB10 platform – but the new platform is unfortunately not all it was cracked up to be, according to some reports.
According to the WSJ, the phone isn't generating the kind of buzz among the company's corporate base that would indicate a hit for RIM, which has just changed its name to BlackBerry.
Adam Leach, principal analyst at Ovum, suggests that the BlackBerry 10 platform offers a different user experience for smartphone users, but that won't be enough to attract new user who have by now become fans of other devices.
"The Blackberry Z10 and Q10 will stand out from the Android masses and look distinct from Apple's iPhone. The user experience of Blackberry 10 introduces some nice new features but importantly builds on Blackberry's UI heritage and therefore will certainly appeal to existing Blackberry users," Leach notes in a statement.
He contends that BlackBerry has rightly focused on insuring that the Blackberry 10 devices have a large catalogue of content and applications.
"[It] is now essential for any modern smartphone, and achieving 70,000 applications at the launch of a new platform is good start," he says.
But while the Blackberry 10 platform is well-designed, the company will struggle to appeal to a wider audience, Leach argues. "In the long-term will become a niche player in the smartphone market."
"It's certainly the best BlackBerry we've ever seen" another Ovum analyst, Jan Dawson, told the WSJ's Markets Hub. The problem, though is, that "there's nothing really about these devices that from a consumer perspective you would say, okay, this is now head and shoulders above iPhone or Android and you should go buy this device tomorrow."

There has been a lot of confusing news about post-Sandy housing, said to be available at Fort Monmouth.
To be clear: This story is about fort housing for a new wave of the recovery process - permanent housing, for what is expected to be a whole crop of people who won't want to live in a flood zone anymore or, who just won't be able to afford to anymore, if flood and homeowners' insurance rates rise in correlation with the waters of Oct. 29.
On Thursday. the board of the Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority (FMERA) took a first step toward selling off two large residential housing properties in Eatontown and Oceanport, in what it (and the governor) says is a response to "an acute need for housing in the Shore region" because of superstorm Sandy.
Officer's Row in Oceanport and Howard Commons in Eatontown, the two properties in question, couldn't be more dissimilar.
Officer's Row are graceful rowhouses set to join the national historic registry, which front on the expansive green parade grounds. These home are move-in ready and number about 110 units.
Howard Commons are an aged, dilapidated housing development off Pinebrook Road in Eatontown ready for demolition because it's homes don't meet current building safety codes.
As detailed by the state this week, FMERA announced its plans to issue requests for offers to purchase both parcels to commercial developers saying it would "accelerate our plans to offer existing Fort housing for redevelopment."
But acceleration doesn't mean this housing will be available to folks who can't live in their homes now because they are gutted. It won't be available to residents to purchase for an estimated 6-12 months, for Officers Row, and 24 months in the case of Howard Commons.
The RFOTPs will be put out in the next week or so for developers. (FMERA said it already has solid interest from developers looking to get into Howard Commons.)
"This will be for people who don't want to go back to the beaches," said Charles Richman, deputy commissioner of housing for the Department of Community Affairs, the lead state agency working with FEMA. Richman is also a member of FMERA's board.
Rickman cites the expected precipitous rise in flood insurance as one of the main reasons people will be looking for new permanent homes.
Oceanport Mayor Michael Mahon, who is on the FMERA board, said this housing represents a new phase in the recovery cycle. First, he said, is emergency housing, then interim (three to 18 months out from the disaster) like FEMA units being readied in another part of the fort. Next comes the search for new permanent housing.
"People are going to make choices, to rebuild, to elevate" or he said, to move to a new place. "They have to make choices based on a new reality."
That new reality could mean moving out of the flood plain and into this housing at the fort, which did not go underwater in Sandy.
Housing advocates at the FMERA meeting like Phil Welch of the Monmouth A Team, questioned the timeline of the properties' availability. When could displaced people hope to get into this kind of permanent housing?
Board chairman James Gorman couldn't give him an answer and instead said, "From our point of view, we read about it in the papers like you do. This is a very dynamic situation that is changing day by day, and in some cases by the hour. It could be different tomorrow."

That is, for a movie that follows an actor around (and the background scrolls to follow them), it creates a movie that has a fixed background, and the camera moves around in the scene. The most obvious application of animmerger is in automatic map stitching for 2D video games, but there are many general purposes for which the program can be used. Its color quantization and dithering algorithm set is particularly advanced.

My best friend's name is Chelsea, so I really do think the name is beautiful. As mclevine said it was pretty popular in the 80s, but I think it is a gorgeous name that deserves a place in your Top 10, especially if you love it!
August 29th, 2013 01:41 PM #7
I really like it! I know a few, but not many at all. It's a cute sound, and energetic to boot. I give Chelsea a thumbs-up.~Larissa

Honestly, Chelsea is forever tainted for me. I went to school with 3 or 4 Chelsea/Chelsies and they were all chavvy girls, one of whom really bullied me. Other Chelseas I've since come across IRL or on TV, in books/magazines etc have been very similar. I don't think it has the greatest image in England and it is dated.
But I think it fits quite well with Ashlyn, Alana & Bianca from the names in your signature.William ♠ Thomas ♠ Peter ♠ Henry ~ Rose ♠ Alice ♠ Ivy ♠ Lowenna

BASKETBALL: Win streak pushes Gators back into top 10 of both pollsby Jason Lieser
Florida is back in the top 10, but it will be tough to stay there.
The Gators beat Vanderbilt and South Carolina at home last week, extending their season-long winning streak to seven games. Those victories helped Florida (19-4, 7-1 in the SEC) jump to No. 8 in the Associated Press poll and No. 7 in the USA Today coaches' poll. The Gators were No. 12 in the AP and No. 11 in the coaches' last week.
They immediately get a chance to climb higher. Florida visits No. 1 Kentucky on Tuesday (7 p.m., ESPN). The Wildcats took two of three in their series last season.

Postage pop quiz
First-class stamp price remains a mystery to many
|Credit: MCT
Quick, how much does it cost to mail a first-class letter?
What once was an iconic number seemingly tattooed on our brains — a dime, a quarter or even 33 cents — has somehow been lost amid the many other digits in our lives: the cost of a gallon of gas, your Facebook friend total or any number of more pertinent numbers in these decreasingly U.S. mail-reliant times.
Of 10 random people on the street asked if they knew the current price of a first-class stamp, only two answered with the correct response of 46 cents. Of those two, only one knew that a 1-cent increase had just taken effect Sunday.
The Postal Service's "Forever" stamps, which insulate buyers from future price increases, may be somewhat to blame. Gone are the days of scrounging enough 1-, 2- or 3-cent stamps to cobble together the right combination of usable postage. Forever stamps are enough to mail a letter regardless the current price of stamps, but they also seem to dull the awareness of what that current stamp price even is.
People also cited frequent postal rate increases — this is the third consecutive year that the stamp price has gone up, and the eighth time in 12 years.
Cory Davis, of South Holland, Ill., says he used to work for the Postal Service as a mail clerk. He knew the current stamp price is 46 cents, but said he doesn't think that's much of a value.
"It seems a little high," said Davis, 34, adding that he does not use the U.S. mail very much. "You can email something for free, but can snail mail it for (almost) 50 cents? No."
Fernando Escalante, of Chicago's West Lawn, guessed the current price at 43 cents, but he still thought it a value even at three cents more.
"I'm going to go back to mail, writing letters to my daughter," said the 42-year-old divorced father of two. "Just to encourage my kids to do handwriting, to encourage them to write. It's kind of a lost art."
The Postal Service says it's losing an estimated $25 million a day, losses brought about in part by a decline in the use of first-class mail. Struggling to develop a new business model for the changing times, the post office has turned to more frequent rate increases.
Post office closings, the elimination of Saturday delivery and other cuts have also been considered.
In addition to first-class postage going up a penny Sunday, the cost of sending a postcard rose from 32 cents to 33. The Postal Service also unveiled a global Forever stamp, allowing mailers to send a letter anywhere in the world for $1.10.

NHL lockout imminent? No. We all just need more meds
Editor's Note: We're pleased to welcome Ian Dudgeon to the MLHS blogging team. Ian was one of the co-founders of McKeen's Hockey.com. He's been busy at work assembling a database of profiles on Leafs prospects for MLHS, which you'll be able to enjoy before long. He's also going to be chiming in with a blog here and there.
Everyone please calm down and resume taking your medication. I have some extra Valium if you need some. There is no imminent NHL lockout. You will not be forced to watch basketball in October or November, or whenever they start playing that alleged sport. I think we will have hockey when we are supposed to and the threat of a lockout or strike is being artificially inflated by sports media who love, live for and need controversy.
The NHL tabled a proposal to the NHLPA this weekend and the collective reaction was as if everyone's favourite commish, Gary "The Count†Bettman took the Stanley cup and used it to prop up his car while he rotated the tires. From fans and media alike, it was one of the craziest overreactions I have heard since.. well since the Leafs last made a move. But really, I should stop being surprised at how sports media react to things and how fans take their cues from them. The little picture numbers seemed scary but stepping back and seeing the bigger landscape, the NHL's proposal was really not that concerning.

Have you been watching the Morris - Spurrier fight? It gets better each day. I would love to hear your thoughts on the story. Is Spurrier thin skinned? Should a journalist pen an article which states a coach is playing a quarterback at all costs without the medical analysis? Shaw's father stated earlier in the week, he trusts the ole ball coach's, medical staff, and game management decisions.
The story is getting better with Morris relating Spurrier playing an "obvisouly more healthy than the media being lead to believe" Shaw to the dealings at Penn State.
Personally, I do not have a problem with the Morris article if he states it is an opinion piece. He doesn't have the medical file and other pertinent information. Would love to hear your thoughts on the recent jabs.

Austin >Shopping >
Antiques >Uncommon Objects
1512 S Congress Ave, Austin, TX | Directions 7870430.248447 -97.750318
Monday To Thursday From 11:00 AM To 07:00 PM Friday To Saturday From 11:00 AM To 08:00 PM Sunday From 11:00 AM To 07:00 PM
Neighborhoods: South River City, Greater South River City
So many treasures at Uncommon Objects. I could waltz around for hours ogling at all the neat things. I also love how some shops are themed or organized around colors. Really fun place to window shop.
A wonderland of antique treasures. Great vintage objects for home design, furniture, clothing and accessories. Whimsical and charming.
I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I sometimes take trips to South Congress for the sole purpose of wandering around this place. I can't afford the vintage typewriters, but settled for a glass inkwell, which set me back only $12.
Treasure Trove of Bizarre/Beautiful – A shared space for the BEST vintage vendors in Texas - it's like walking through an Eye Spy book! Something wonderful for everyone here.
Not Honest – No problem with the service BUT!! If you are buying something make sure it's because you like how it looks. If it's an electronic don't ask them to try it out for you to make sure it works. We asked an employee and he lied to us and told us it worked fine and when we got home…..NOTHING! He lied to our faces with no hesitation. When I tried to complain they told us its our fault. Almost everything pretty pricey and not worth it.
nice place – A very interesting place, but usually crowded and WAY overpriced. I like going there just to browse and look around.
most unique things in austin – I'm not an expert at antiqueing but they have the best stuff for a really reasonable price. The staff is friendly also.
Charming!! – Absolutely my favorite place we visited in Austin. So much to look at..it's absolutely a vintage/thrift store junkies dream come true. I loved how everything was displayed..such an eclectric group of things arranged in such a harmonic way. I bought a really neat vintage pirate bank and a glass syringe for a friend who collects old medical supplies. I highly recommend taking an hour or so to explore.
Looking for something you don't need? – In Short
Numerous vendors, each with its own little space, give the shopper a true sampling of the world of collectibles. A random and ever-changing sampling of goods serves to represent each decade past. This is one place you'll want to take the time to dally so as not to miss any of the sometimes-hidden treasures--who knows what you might find hidden on the back shelf of that kitchen corner cupboard or hanging behind that 6-foot coat rack?
Superior Selection – The knowledgeable staff know how to help collectors and looky-loos. The prices are better than most shops of this type. I am always happy with their chalk items. Old photographs, pictures, postcards, posters & frames are amazing. The jewelry, lamps, furniture, clothes , books & toys are must haves. The store has been my favorite for decades. Now, it is better organized, well light and often, items are grouped by color, genre or era. I'm not gonna mention the McCoy pieces-oops! My Sis & Mom from East Texas visit just to shop here. If you don't shop here, more's the better for me & mine. I LOVE THE STORE! And Steve, well he is the best! New items arrive all the time.
Great Place! – This shop is full of charm! Whether you collect antiques or are just looking for something unusual to disply, this is the place for you. The staff is always nice and willing to help you find what you are looking for. Great place to browse as well!!!
What a cool store – The word 'awesome' is bandied about too frequently,but this place really does inspire awe. It is huge,and has literally thousands upon thousands of rare,unique or just bizarrely prefect articles. Helped by the ambience-great music,amazingly cool staff whose genuine love of old and beautiful things is very apparent,water for your dog on a hot day (from a vintage china bowl no less!),sodas in a vintage cooler,topical and political window displays from decades of junk made art...not your mom's antique mall.

Kuster coached at Colby Junior College in Kansas, and then worked his way back to Nevada, so he could finish up his Master's degree. He got involved in coaching high school baseball, assisting at Wooster under Ron Malcolm for about 14 years.
He has since taken the past couple years off in order to coach his two sons.
But Kuster's knowledge of baseball extends throughout the Truckee Meadows as one of the instructors at WB Baseball. Because so many doors were opened for him with baseball, Kuster believes in giving back to the community.
"That is actually exactly it. I've always felt blessed that baseball gave me a great direction," he said. "It gave me a lot of contacts and a free schooling. It did a lot for me, so I always felt obligated to give it back. It's not about how much you're going to pay me. Especially when you're working with young kids, you can see their excitement as they try to learn something. To me, that's worth every bit of it."
The current owner of WB Baseball, Aaron Demosthenes, competed against Kuster in high school at Wooster. The two then became friends when they coached the summer college-prep baseball team the Sierra Sundevils together and Demosthenes asked if Kuster wanted to come on as an instructor.
"At the time, I was a little reluctant at the beginning, but with the people already there and giving the knowledge of baseball out, it was extremely high quality," Kuster said. "Everybody at WB we have is extremely high quality. They all played college baseball and played pro baseball. We have three scouts in the building. The girl who does the softball, Jody (Longballa), is an ex-Olympian. The lessons and the information that goes out to the kids is all at the highest level. That was the attraction going in and knowing the people that I'd be working with really know what they're doing. That was a big bonus with it."
Demosthenes also coaches baseball at Western Nevada College, but when he took over ownership of WB Baseball, he too wanted to help locals pursue their dreams.
"Obviously it's a profession for me, but it's nice to be able to help kids and just watch them get better at the game they love. It's awesome," Demosthenes said. "It's a great feeling. It's the best feeling."
Kuster gets to work with kids who are just learning how to swing a bat to guys who are playing pro ball and just want to compare knowledge.
The WB Baseball Softball Training Center has been at its current location at Mira Loma and Longley for about eight years. They have downsized since moving into that location and now share the space with Camie Cragg Fitness. There are still four full batting cages and a pitching lane. Instruction focuses more on the details.
