Rambosk to run for re-election
Sheriff Kevin Rambosk will run for second ...
COLLIER COUNTY — Editor's note: The video clip is an excerpt from Kevin Rambosk's interview for "Naples Daily NewsMakers with Jeff Lytle'' that will air Sunday morning at 10 a.m. on ABC-7.
Collier County Sheriff Kevin Rambosk announced this morning that he will be running for a second term.
"My intent is to seek reelection," Rambosk told the Daily News Wednesday morning. "We're in the process of getting things ready."
First elected as head of the agency in 2008, Rambosk garnered 74.3 percent of the vote in the primary election. In the absence of independent or Democratic candidates, he didn't have to compete in the November general election that year.
Rambosk's first term came on the heels of former sheriff Don Hunter's 20 years leading the agency.
Hunter, recently named chief of the Marco Island Police Department, had previously said he has no plans to run for Collier sheriff in 2012.
Rambosk, 56, was appointed a police officer with the Naples Police Department in 1978 and became that agency's chief in 1995.
From 1999 to 2003, he served as Naples city manager, before retiring to join the Collier County Sheriff's Office as head of the Organized Crime Division. Rambosk ascended through the ranks of chief of operations and undersheriff there before becoming sheriff.
"I'm still enthusiastic about law enforcement even though it's been a very difficult four years economically. The greatest continuing challenge is going to be the economy," said Rambosk.
Though he verbally confirmed his intent to run in 2012, as of Wednesday, Rambosk had not yet filed paperwork with the Collier County Supervisor of Elections related to his candidacy.
Vincent 'Vinny' Angiolillo, a limousine service owner who ran against Rambosk in 2008, filed his paperwork in April 2009 -- and said he has been campaigning "on a daily basis" since then.
In 2008, Angiolillo, 59, made headlines when he rode a 10,000-pound elephant down North Naples streets as part of his campaign. He said Wednesday that he has even "bigger" plans this time around -- to invite his opponents to participate in a boxing match "to prove who the girly men are in this community."
Rambosk declined the Angiolillo's invitation to the boxing ring.
"Keeping this community safe is not a sporting event," Rambosk said. "I've always taken law enforcement very seriously and I will continue to do so."

Tuesday, April 3, 2012, announcing that the office will be open to the public for fewer hours indefinitely. Secretary of State Al Jaeger said the shortened hours are needed to allow workers to catch up on processing an exploding number of new business registrations and contractor licensing requests. The office will be closed Mondays, except for deliveries, and open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Fridays, rather than the normal 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. (AP Photo/Dale Wetzel)

Apr 15, 2014 — The cable network premieres a new drama series tonight. It's called Fargo, and has the same title as the 1996 Coen Brothers movie. Critic David Bianculli says it's very definitely a wonderful show in that same wacky spirit - but it's just as important to note what this new Fargo is not. It's not a remake — and it's not a sequel.

text: I've tried to write this post several times over the past few days, but just haven't managed to sum up my feelings on the first two issues of Hellboy in Hell - at least to my satisfaction. I remember typing the phrase "feels like the summation of everything Mignola's been working to as a storyteller," and maybe that's what I'm trying to say. It reminds me a bit of some of the stories collected in the Screw-On Head hardcover, wild plunges into the mind of Mignola (and perhaps his greatest stories).

MTV fans were shocked Monday when "Buckwild" star Shain Gandee was found dead in his Ford Bronco outside of Sissonville, West Virginia. According to Kanawha County authorities, three bodies - presumed to be that of Gandee, his uncle David Gandee and another -- were pulled from a vehicle parked in a rural area.
The 21-year-old trash collector was last seen at Big Larry's Bar on early Sunday morning when he told friends that he was going off-roading. No official cause of death has been revealed, though several media outlets are reporting that they died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
"They were mudding and got stuck in a mud hole," a source told RealityTea. "They left the engine running, which caused the carbon monoxide poisoning."
What we do know: MTV announced its halted production on the show.
Sadly, the young Shain isn't the first - or probably the last - reality star to meet an untimely end.
Joey Kovar
"Real World: Hollywood" star Joey Kovar's struggles with alcohol and cocaine - and his subsequent stint in rehab - were well documented on the 2008 season of the long-running MTV reality show. He seemed to have smashed his demons, but the addiction crept back into his life, leading to a stint on VH1's "Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew."
Sadly, the aspiring bodybuilder was found dead at a friend's house outside Chicago in August 2012. The Cook County Medical Examiner's office later said he died from an overdose of Viagra, cocaine and alcohol.
Ryan Dunn
Ryan Dunn was well known to MTV "Jackass" fans as the loveable sidekick to stars Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera and Steve-O. However, his stint as a television and movie star was short-lived: The reality star died in a fiery crash in June 2011 after a day of drinking at a Pennsylvania bar.
According to reports, Dunn was driving his Porsche 911 at an estimated 130 mph when he crashed into a guardrail, instantly killing him and passenger Zachary Hartwell. A photo of the mangled sports car was quickly uploaded after the crash. It might be grisly, but it serves as a reminder: Don't drink and drive… ever.
Mark Balelo
The main characters on A&E's popular reality show "Storage Wars" are often portrayed as loveable louts, but at least one cast member was hiding a dark side underneath his entrepreneurial outside.
Mark Balelo - known as "Rico Suave" on the second season of the show - was found dead in his car in early February of suicide from carbon monoxide poisoning. The death came just two days after he was arrested for a drug-related offense.

The 4870 features a zippered and lined main main compartment (including four 3750 StowAway Utility Boxes) with 6 mesh pockets. Both the front and back of the bag provide easy access to everything stored inside. The bag itself is constructed from easy-to-clean all weather fabric.

The Plano 4870 also features two "Takeaway" bags, one with six zippered pockets and eleven mesh pockets, the other features four mesh pockets.
Dimensions: 22.75" x 12" x 12"
Comments: I bought this bag last year used it for about 3 months. It stayed in a comparment in my boat and only pulled out to get less used tackel or replacement parts (spare hooks for baits etc). The handle on top pulled off!!!! I am coming off back surgery and did not have it loaded very heavy. Very disappointed.
Comments: It's a good bag but for 125, you better make sure you really want it.
From: Ross: AL
Comments: I fish many events as a co-angler and thought this bag would be perfect for when I am not a boater. One season and this bag fell apart. No excuses Plano for the amount of money I paid. Several of the zippers broke off. Strap broke. All around disappointed.
From: Teri: TN
Comments: I have had this bag for almost 3 years now, and it is great! There's tons of space for everything you need. Only Problem ive had is a small crack in the plastic around the handle, but it hasnt hurt anything.This bag has gone through everything from pouring rain to scorching heat even freezing temps. but its held up great.Even when the bag is exposed to hot temps, the inside keeps a nice climate inside so as to not melt or deform anything. If your looking for a good bag, look no further!
From: Cobi: MI
Comments: The bag is big, but the bag just fell apart. I barely use the bag. The craftsmanship of the bag is horrible
From: Danny: TX
Comments: great bag. holds all of my gear. no problems.
From: Dave: MI
Comments: For how big it is I expected to be able to hold my gear but the straps ripped and hole developed after so many trips...maybe a handle luggage for the bag will me easier on the bag. Lots of room though but straps can't hold durability for anglers like me that carry so much gear

You've barely finished your sixth (and very painful) treatment of laser hair-removal in your, ahem, nether regions and slaved through two weeks of brutal bootcamp. (Okay, more like 1.5 weeks of Groupon-induced hell.) You've hardly dipped your toes in beach season, and now we're already diving into talk of fall? Huh? Changing leaves? New pilot season? Almost Christmakah? WHAT?
While you may not be ready to bid adios to summer, in the fashion industry, to quote from Andy Bernard, we're always thinking one step ahead…like a carpenter that makes stairs. Well, maybe glass stairs with rhinestones and a fancy red carpet.
So, to prep for fall, we've rounded up 50 purses to get you in the mood for the upcoming season. And to give a Cliff's Notes version (Yeah, admit it. You used Cliff's Notes in school too.) of some bag trends to love this fall:
Purses for Fall 2012
Size DOES matter: Bigger is better.
Professional chic: Who says work-ready portfolio bags must stay in the office?
Black is back: Or rather, it never went away.
Gold digger: Yep, seek out the gold, friends!
Classic beauty: Think timeless, simple shapes that never go out of style.
So clutch: Think big and envelope-shaped.
Make a statement: With your bag. Duh!


text: OK, thanks. If I do another test in a few weeks and am still getting 1 gpg hardness, what do I do to bring this to 0? If I understand correctly, the salt dose will not fix it, this only determines how many days I can go before I need to regenerate? For the time being, I have it programmed to what dittohead posted, and following the changes I did a manual regeneration. If realistic, I would like to bring the dose lower than the 8 lbs that he posted, but if not then it will be fine. Its really not that big of a difference but if I can save 20-30 bucks or so per year then why not.

ON KORS FOR BLEECKER: Michael Kors has called New York's West Village his home for the past 30 years, and come holiday, it will be so in more ways than one. Kors is opening a 1,475-square-foot lifestyle store at 384 Bleecker Street, which will offer a mix of accessories and other products from his Michael Kors, Kors Michael Kors and Michael Michael Kors collections. The in-house design team will work on the unit, which it is taking over from Olive & Bette's, and the plan is to maintain the building's original Twenties features. "The rich cultural history of the Village provides the perfect backdrop for a unique shopping experience in a quaint neighborhood setting," Kors said.

Bayfront Park
Bayfront Park - Description
Bayfront Park is located in the heart of downtown Miami, on beautiful Biscayne Bay. It is bounded on the north by Bayside Marketplace, on the south by Hotel InterContinental, on the east by Biscayne Bay and on the west by Biscayne Boulevard. Redesigned in the early 1980's by Isamu Noguchi and managed by Bayfront Park Management Trust, Bayfront Park is 32 acres of lush greenery, with a small sand beach, a tropical rock garden and waterfall (dating back to 1926), a cascading fountain, a Laser Ligh...
Bayfront Park is located in the heart of downtown Miami, on beautiful Biscayne Bay. It is bounded on the north by Bayside Marketplace, on the south by Hotel InterContinental, on the east by Biscayne Bay and on the west by Biscayne Boulevard. Redesigned in the early 1980's by Isamu Noguchi and managed by Bayfront Park Management Trust, Bayfront Park is 32 acres of lush greenery, with a small sand beach, a tropical rock garden and waterfall (dating back to 1926), a cascading fountain, a Laser Light Tower, and many different monuments commemorating events and people throughout history.
Bayfront Park is the host site for many special events and concerts. The Park fronts onto Biscayne Boulevard (Miami's "main street"), and is three blocks from Interstate I-95. The park is easily accessible by Miami-Dade County public transportation (Metrorail, Tri-Rail, and Metro-Bus), and is located next door to Bayside Marketplace -- a Rouse Corporation development that attracts 10 million people per year. The maximum capacity of Bayfront Park, for gated events, is 25,000. There are a few locations throughout the park where a stage can be constructed to accommodate the 25,000 figure. The more popular sites for stage placement are along the Flagler Promenade and at the Mildred and Claude Pepper Fountain Plaza
The Bayfront Park Amphitheater is located within Bayfront Park and has a capacity of 12,000 for general admission shows. There are fixed benches with seating for 2,672 and the lawn makes up the remaining 9,328. While watching a show in the amphitheater, patrons have Miami's skyline to their back and Biscayne Bay directly beyond the stage. The amphitheater is surrounded by an "amphi-walk," elevated 24 feet above the theater to avoid sightline restrictions. The wide walkway offers lighting and sheltered benches to protect guests from the hot sun or rain.
The Tina Hills Pavilion (capacity 1,000) is also located within the park and is available for smaller concerts, receptions, corporate events, and press conferences. The 1,000 capacity is comprised of fixed seating for 200 and lawn seating for 800. The flexibility of the open-air design allows for play towards the seats or away from the seats, facing Biscayne Bay.
Bicentennial Park is also located on beautiful Biscayne Bay, seven blocks north of Bayfront Park. Bicentennial Park is a 30-acre, open park with an event capacity of 45,000 (based on event infrastructure). Given the wide-open space, there are several different event set-ups that take place: everything from a singular stage to multiple stages to a carnival atmosphere. Some examples of event set-ups, that have taken place at Bicentennial Park, are the Lollapalooza music festival, the big-top show of Cirque Du Soleil, and the carnival atmosphere of the annual Halloween celebration, House of Terror.
The park is one of the most unique spots in Miami with endless special weekly or ticketed events (including free activities, trapeze school and playgrounds) and rental facilities and packages to host the best party around.

What happens when bleached brows detach from the runway
I like my hair white. Freshly fallen snow white. Nearly translucent white. Sometimes the colour may shift to pastel mint, lavender, or pink, but for the most part I stick to shades of the printer paper variety. Some might say I'm a bit too obsessive about banishing any hint of a yellowy tone, and I'd probably say they are right.
This past week, I stumbled upon a look that would take my ghostly appearance to a new level: bleached brows. How did this revelation take so long? I have been fawning over barely-there browed models for ages, but I never quite made the connection: I could carry out this look in real life.
I clawed at the idea with the ferocity of a cat in a litter box. How do I do it? What volume activator do I use? How long before I get roots? The questions were endless, but the answer, it turns out, was pretty simple. I got drunk with my best friend and painted my brows with Jolen cream bleach. I started watching YouTube videos, completely forgot the bleach, remembered and frantically tried to rub it off as quickly as possible, and voila! No eyebrows!
But really, for that first hungover 24 hours I really looked like my brows has been pillaged, ripped right from their perch on my face and taken to an unknown location. It wasn't until I bleached my roots and toned both bodies of hair to match that I attained the model-like result I'd been after. Bingo. I started to think of myself as a little more alien, more doll, more forest nymph/fairy/magical creature. But to my surprise, others didn't share the same excitement.
When sifting through the internet for tips on managing the very quick grow-out phase (I already had teeny roots two days later), all I could find were warnings of potential blindness, the condemning of Kelly Osborne, polls debating whether the look should be "runway only" and some very direct reports banning it altogether.
My real life reactions were even more daunting than those of the voices on the internet. Friends literally looked and me and said, "Wow, your eyebrows look weird," or (nervously), "When will they grow back?" From shock to horror, almost every reaction was negative.
The general consensus seemed to be "But why would you do that?" Perhaps the most confused and upset of them all was none other than one of Toronto's top brow gurus. Known for her fabulous face-framing skills, she had just finished up with my best friend's luscious brown brows when we got to talking about her doing mine sometime (when the lack of colour grew out and I needed more shape). The moment of realization that my eyebrows were not naturally light flashed across her face like tinfoil in a microwave, and she suddenly seemed unable to contain her dismay. She just couldn't believe I had done such a thing willingly when "brows frame the face!" She asked, "but why?" at least five times while I struggled to comfort her and convince her it was a very solid runway trend, then eventually gave in to reassuring her they would grow back very quickly and it was just for fun. Although still confused, she greeted this possibility with hope and appeared to let it go.
Had I committed some form of facial faux pas? Was there a special place in hell reserved for women who purposefully erase their brows? Although I've tried many a crazy passing trend (full length denim jumpsuit, high-waisted pants that go up to my breasts, see-through dresses with nothing underneath, etc.) I have never experienced such negative feedback to a fashion statement: apparently challenging traditional beauty standards is not a risk I'm supposed to take.
It's a well known fact that brows lighter than your locks just look "weird," but why is that? Because we all need some level of sameness to feel comfortable when we gaze into one another's eyes? As the tiny roots creep into sight on my brow, I've hit a crossroads: do I bleach them back? Or do I conform to traditional beauty standards and return to life as I knew it, with a perfectly balanced and shaped face? Is flattering more important than fun? The answer of course, is no. Despite the various people I've promised the return of my brows to, I think I'm going to indulge in this runway-only look a little longer.

Compliance and Stewardship
One of EPAs essential functions is to ensure compliance with environmental lawsmaking sure they mean as much on the ground as they do on paper. Here we look at some of the past years most successful enforcement cases in the Pacific Southwestand the EPA staff who make them happen.
This chapters other focus, stewardship, looks at EPAs work on sustainable solutions to long-term environmental challenges big and small, from local redevelopment to global climate change.
EPAs Brownfields Program spurs redevelopment where former industrial sites are lying unused due to suspected contamination. In Nevada City, California, the sites are legacies of historic gold mining. On the other side of the Sierra, at the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony, redevelopment is already bringing economic benefits.
In Hawaii, EPA research grants are funding ground-breaking scientific studies of the impact of rising carbon dioxide levels on coral reefs. Early results suggest that if the oceans absorb too much CO2, acidification may doom reef-building organisms.
Meanwhile, in a desert valley near Las Vegas, Nellis Air Force Base points the way to a sustainable future. Nellis installed the nations biggest solar photovoltaic generating system, and the base is conserving water and energy while reducing toxic waste.
Enforcement Actions Secure $2 Billion for Environmental Improvements
One settlement will result in a nearly 40% reduction in emissions from a Southern California cement plant.
In fiscal 2008, EPA enforcement actions in the Pacific Southwest resulted in commitments of more than $2 billion for toxic cleanups and other environmental improvementsa record amount for the region.
The largest cleanup commitment, $876 million, resulted from a Clean Water Act case against the City of San Diego for sewage leaks and spills over several years. The city is scheduled to spend the funds to upgrade and maintain its sewage collection system through 2012. Honolulu, in a similar case, is committed to spend $300 million on sewage system upgrades to prevent spills like the one that closed Waikiki beaches for a week in 2006.
Federal agencies made commitments totaling $810 million to clean up contaminated soil and groundwater at five federal facility Superfund sites in California. Based on enforceable agreements with the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy, these federal agencies will implement cleanups at Camp Pendleton, El Toro Marine Corps Air Station, Edwards Air Force Base, Fort Ord and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Contaminants at the sites range from unexploded ordnance to toxic chemicals to radioactive materials.
In other major cases, owners of a landfill near Las Vegas will take action to prevent waste from contaminating waterways at an estimated cost of $36 million (see Sunrise Landfill) and ExxonMobil paid a $2.64 million penalty for PCB leaks from an offshore oil platform (see Chris Rollins).
Cleaning Up Cement Kilns
EPAs Pacific Southwest Office took part in a national enforcement initiative against fossil-fuel-burning cement kilns that spew excessive air pollution.
The case against Cemex California Cements plant in Victorville in San Bernardino County, Californiathe states largest source of smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx)was one such action. A March 2009 settlement set new limits for air pollutants, including sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and NOx, reducing emissions at the Cemex plant by 3.8 million pounds per yearnearly 40%. Cemex also must pay a $2 million penalty.
EPA also settled a case involving emissions of NOx, particulate matter, and other pollutants against another cement plant, Riverside Cements Oro Grande facility near Victorville, Calif. As part of the settlement, the company shut down seven 50-year-old kilns before starting up a new, cleaner kiln to replace them. Shutting down the old kilns cut NOx emissions by 3 million pounds per year compared to the new kiln. The company also paid $394,000 in penalties.
Targeting Neighborhood Plating Shops
EPA and state regulators make routine inspections of industrial facilities, but the list of regulated locations is a long one. So inspections are often prioritized to target issues or geographic areas of particular concern.
In Los Angeles, EPA hazardous waste inspectors in 2008 targeted metal plating shops in the Pacoima/Sun Valley area and the Compton/Gardena area. In 26 inspections in these low-income neighborhoods, EPA found significant violations at eight facilities. Enforcement actions are now underway.
Returning Brownfields to Productive Use

Golden Opportunity for Abandoned Gold Mines In Nevada City
Shared Success: Nevada Tribal Community Transforms Contaminated Property
Disused industrial sites, rail yards, and underground fuel tank sites are often candidates for redevelopment, but can lay unused for decades because developers dont want to get stuck with unknown cleanup costs.
EPAs Brownfields program provides grants and technical expertise to assist cleaning up and redeveloping contaminated lands, making it easier for such lands to become vital, functioning parts of their communities. In the past two years, for example, EPAs Brownfields program has spurred redevelopment in Nevada City and Newark, California, and at the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony in Nevada.
Golden Opportunity for Abandoned Mines in Nevada City
Nevada City, in Northern Californias Gold Country, is working with federal and local partners to assess abandoned gold mine sites. The city is using EPA Brownfields assessment funds to find out whether these sites are safe as future recreation areas. Funds are used to assess properties, prioritize sites for cleanup, and analyze cleanup options. The project also strengthens local partnerships through community outreach activities.
The city (population 3,000) has a 160-year history of gold mining operations, with 16 major mines in the area. After gold was discovered, Nevada City rapidly became the largest and wealthiest mining town in California, with 10,000 residents. Hydraulic mining in the late 1800s changed the landscape drastically. Miners aimed high-pressure hydraulic monitors, like large water cannons, at the hillsides, washing away millions of tons of earth and rock.
The gold-bearing muck washed downstream in trenches charged with mercury, a toxic liquid metal which has the unusual property of dissolving gold. The mercury was then collected and evaporated in furnaces, leaving behind pure gold. The mercury vapor was condensed back into liquid and used again, but at every step, some mercury was lost. Today, recreational gold miners are finding as much mercury as gold in local creekbeds.
Nevada City and its partners are assessing five major mine tailings areas that are close to residential neighborhoods and elementary schools. Historical research and initial assessments indicate that these sites are probably contaminated with mercury and arsenic. This affects numerous downstream communities, potentially contaminating drinking water and making fish unsafe to eat. Deer Creek was once an important fishing resource, but now theres a fishing ban in effect.
Nevada Citys primary partner is the local nonprofit Friends of Deer Creek (FODC). Their aim is to further community understanding and stewardship of the Deer Creek watershed. When the nonprofit was ready to begin assessment, EPA provided a comprehensive sampling plan. When FODC wanted to analyze samples at low cost, EPA evaluated the proposed laboratory methods and showed how to do it while adhering to the agencys sampling protocols.
Four areas have already been sampled. After assessment and cleanup, the sites will be open to the public for recreation, learning about local history, and ecological restoration. Nevada City plans an interpretive Tribute Trail linking the sites.
Nevada City and the FODC are collaborating to find where theres mercury in the Deer Creek watershed, better understand how it moves, and reduce or eliminate downstream mercury transport. The project will help protect local residents and downstream communities from the toxic legacies of miningmercury and arsenic.
A Green College Campus in Newark, Calif.
In the southeastern San Francisco Bay Area, EPA in 2004 awarded a $200,000 Brownfields grant to the Ohlone Community College District to clean up hazardous substances contamination on an 82-acre property on Cherry Street in Newark that had been used for agriculture. Today, the site is a new community college campus that provides training, education, and other services.
In addition to hosting an environmental studies program, its the first community college to be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum-certifiedthe highest rating for an energy and resource-saving development. Solar panels generate up to half of the electricity needed by its Newark Center building, and school furniture is made from at least 65% recycled materials.
The district serves Newark, Fremont and a portion of Union City, with a combined population of about 250,000. Of the districts 7,974 full-time equivalent students, approximately 84% are Asian, Pacific Islander, and Hispanic. Minority populations account for nearly half of Newarks residents. The new campus provides job training in a variety of health sciences and technology fields, as well as jobs for instructors and campus employees.
Boosting Economic Development at Reno-Sparks Indian Colony
At the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony in Nevada, EPA helped transform idle contaminated property into economic development that benefits the tribes 1,000 members, as well as other Native Americans in the region and the City of Reno.
Several years ago, EPAs $2 million grant to the State of Nevada created a revolving loan fund for brownfields cleanup. The state loaned about $1 million to the tribethe first brownfields loan to an Indian community in the western U.S. The tribe used it to find and remove 1,000 tons of soil contaminated with lead and petroleum from former industrial operations.
The 22-acre property is being redeveloped into a commercial site, including a Wal-Mart Super Center. The site will produce up to $6 million in tax revenues annually, which will be used to repay the bonds that financed a new Tribal Health Center, as well as ongoing local government services such as public safety and schools.
Studying Climate Impacts on Hawaii's Coral Reefs
Scientists find that future climate changes will likely harm coral reefs.
In 2006, EPA awarded a $747,000 Science to Achieve Results (STAR) grant to Paul Jokiel of the University of Hawaii, and others, for research on the effects of climate change on Hawaiian coral reefs. His recent findings suggest that ocean acidification due to human activities could cause significant change to coral reef communities in shallow warm oceans.
Coral reefs are sensitive to higher temperatures and ocean acidification, which are influenced by rising levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere associated with climate change. Acidification interferes with the ability of reef organisms to make calcium carbonate skeletons and therefore threatens the physical structure of reefs.
Dr. Jokiel built a mesocosm (controlled environment) facility at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology to test the impact of increased CO2 on common calcifying reef organisms. The mesocosms simulated a doubling of todays CO2 to levels expected later in this century.
In long-term experiments, corals in the mesocosms exposed to elevated CO2 had a 15-20% reduction in calcification rate, but no changes in reproduction or recruitment of corals were detected. However, CCA cover was reduced 86%, and one form of CCA, rhodoliths, actually shrank within the mesocosms with elevated CO2. This is alarming, since CCA hold a reef together by cementing carbonate fragments into massive reef structures, and they provide chemical cues to attract settling larvae of reef-building corals.
These findings provide evidence that future climate changes are likely to have significant adverse impacts on coral reef ecosystems throughout the world. Calcifying organisms like corals and CCA are essential to the growth, recruitment and stabilization of reefs. Their massive wave-resistant reef structures protect tropical shorelines, and provide habitat for a myriad of fish and other organisms that support coastal human populations.
The question remains as to whether coral reefs can adapt to the relatively rapid environmental changes that are now occurring. In a Limnology and Oceanography paper (2008), Jokiel and others present a modeling tool to evaluate coral reef responses to changes in ocean temperature and chemistry. The model can help managers assess the interactions of stressors in ways specific to local conditions and populations, and can aid in evaluating relative risk.
A 2007 EPA report by Dr. Jordan West, Climate Change and Interacting Stressors: Implications for Coral Reef Management in American Samoa, provides specific recommendations for minimizing impacts of climate change for reefs in American Samoa.
Protecting Coral Reefs
EPA has taken a strong role in protecting coral reefs in Hawaii and other U.S. islands in the Pacific through research, grant funding, technical assistance, program development, and enforcement. Recent activities are addressing threats to coral reefs from climate change and land-based pollution. In the past two years, EPA has provided technical assistance and more than $5 million to American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands for coral reef protection.
More info on coral reefs:
Wendy Wiltse, a Honolulu-based EPA biologist, reviews proposed harbor improvements, beach sand replenishment, aquaculture, and other projects that have direct impacts to coral reefs in Hawaii and the Pacific islands. Through the Army Corps of Engineers permit process, she helps minimize impacts to reefs and assists in designing effective mitigation. Dr. Wiltse is also very active in Hawaiis efforts to reduce land-based pollution, such as silt-laden runoff, which threatens the health of Hawaiis reefs.
Nellis AFB Accelerates Environmental Performance
The huge 14-megawatt solar array gets attention, but Nellis also reduced energy use, water use, and hazardous waste.
Over the past year, reporters have been beating a track to Southern Nevadas Nellis Air Force Base, to see Nellis sparkling new 140-acre photovoltaic electric power generating facilitythe nations largest photovoltaic array.
There, 72,000 solar panels track the desert sun each day to generate up to 14 megawatts of powerenough to provide 20-30% of the facilitys electric power. The solar panels avoid the annual generation of 18,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2). The array is sited, in part, over a closed, historic landfill, thereby making creative use of an area with limited development potential.
This $100 million system was built through the coordinated efforts of the Air Force, MMA Renewable Ventures LLC, and Nevada Power. MMA Renewable Ventures financed and operates the solar power plant, selling electricity to Nellis Air Force Base at a guaranteed fixed rate for the next 20 years. Nevada Power supported the project by purchasing Renewable Energy Credits generated by the solar array.
Nellis has already achieved a 16% reduction in energy use from lighting retrofits, improved air conditioning equipment and cool roofswhite ceramic paint on rooftops to reduce heat absorption, which cuts air conditioning power use. And theyve gotten a 50% (20-ton) reduction in hazardous waste from a variety of projects, including recycling fuel from spill pads and encouraging the reuse of hazardous materials.
But Nellis environmental performance doesnt stop there. Guided by its Environmental Management System (EMS), Nellis is setting additional goals to reduce its impacts. Base managers aim to reduce water use by 11%, or 100 million gallons of water annually, as a result of a $2.8 million xeriscaping project. Theyre replacing thirsty lawns and landscaping with plants adapted to desert environments, which need little water. Given the continuing drought in the Southwest, water conservation is a high priority throughout the region.
The bases jet plane maintenance activities and building maintenance have routinely generated waste painta hazardous wasteand wastewater contaminated by zinc. The base has set a goal to cut both of the waste streams, reducing paint waste by 2,600 pounds and reducing zinc discharges to water by 120 pounds a year.
Nellis successful implementation of its EMS has provided the foundation for its environmental accomplishments to date and its future goals. An EMS is a set of policies, processes and practices that enable a facility to reduce its environmental impacts and increase its operating efficiency. Nellis EMS is notable because of the size of the facility and its success in gaining the involvement and cooperation of Air Force personnel as well as civilian staff and contractors.
Chris Rollins: Tracking Down PCBs and Hazardous Waste Violations
Highly toxic PCBs, including invisible uses on obsolete ships, cannot legally be exported from the U.S.
On January 29, 2009, EPA levied fines totaling $518,500 on two Maryland-based companies that allegedly exported a PCB-laden ship from San Francisco, even though the shipthe retired passenger liner Oceanichad already left U.S. waters when EPA took action. The message was clear: You can run, but you cant hide from EPAs law enforcers.
In this case, the key enforcer was Chris Rollins, a long-time San Franciscan and UC Berkeley graduate with a degree in physical sciences. Neither Chris nor any other U.S. officer, including the Coast Guard, was able to board the ship after it left port, since it avoided U.S. jurisdiction en route to the Persian Gulf. But Chris and the regional enforcement team examined thousands of pages of records subpoenaed from companies that owned or worked on the vessel to establish the violations.
Chris first came to EPAs Pacific Southwest Regional Office as a part-time student intern in early 1998, when he started work in the Pesticides Program. After graduation in December of that year, he gained full-time status and became a pesticide inspector, making the rounds of stores that sell pesticides, checking for violations of pesticide labeling and registration regulations.
For the past year and a half, hes been in the Waste Division, where he conducts inspections and develops cases involving violations of regulations governing hazardous waste and PCBspolychlorinated biphenyls. EPA banned the production of PCBs in 1978, after tests showed that they cause cancer in animals and harm the nervous, immune, and endocrine systems in humans.
Watch Chris in EPAs video about PCBs
PCBs most widespread use was in electrical transformers and capacitorsfamiliar to most people as the canisters sitting atop powerline poles. Most of the liquid PCBs formerly inside these canisters have been replaced with less toxic chemicals, but all such equipment made before 1979 is assumed to have some residual PCBs. This is legal, but yellow warning labels are required for PCB concentrations of 500 ppm or more.
Ships built before 1979, such as the Oceanic, may contain PCBs in cable insulation, gaskets and watertight seals, and paint. PCBs, including these invisible uses on ships, cannot legally be exported from the U.S. The primary means of legal disposal are high-temperature incineration for liquid PCBs and special hazardous waste landfills for PCBs in solids.
In another major case Chris worked on recently, ExxonMobil paid $2.64 million to settle allegations that the oil giant illegally disposed of at least 389 gallons of PCBs that leaked from transformers on an offshore oil platform in Southern Californias Santa Barbara Channel over a two-year period. No release to ocean waters was ever documented. Some of the PCBs ended up in an oil pipeline to tanks onshore, where it was diluted into large quantities of oil, and some went to the wrong type of landfill.
Donna Kahi Kahakui: Enforcing the Law in Hawaii
EPA investigators initiated quarterly Hawaii Environmental Task Force meetings to plan cooperative efforts.
Go ahead. Think of the long-running TV show, Hawaii Five-0. Now, instead of Dano (as in Book im, Dano), think Donna. That would be Donna Kahiwaokawailani Kahakui, one of two EPA Special Agents based in Honolulu, working for the Criminal Investigations Division (CID). In Hawaiis law enforcement community, shes known as Kahi.
Before coming to EPA in 2002, Kahi was already known as an environmental activist and athlete. She founded Kai Makana, a volunteer-run nonprofit that educates and mobilizes people to understand and preserve marine life and the ocean environment through youth mentorship and community-based programs. One of their projects involves stewardship of Mokauea Island, an islet off Honolulu where ancient Hawaiian lifeways are recreated.
Kahi is also a champion outrigger canoe paddler. In April 1999, she completed the first recorded solo outrigger canoe paddle from the Big Island to Oahua 140-mile marathon in 58 hours that her CID colleague Gary Guerra calls superhuman. Thats just one item on a long list of paddling records (Molokai to Oahu, 32 miles in 5 hours, 11 minutes) and accomplishments, both solo and as a member of outrigger crews.
Unlike on Hawaii Five-0, most of the CIDs work is carried out quietly. This cadre of EPA agents investigates environmental crimesnot unknowing violations, which carry financial penalties, but willful lawbreaking that earns jail time.
Kahi covers the State of Hawaii, while Gary primarily covers American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and some of Hawaii.
They collaborate closely with other law enforcement agencies that can provide backup. Several years ago, they initiated quarterly Hawaii Environmental Enforcement Task Force meetings, where federal, state and local law enforcement authorities gather to plan cooperative efforts.
Like detectives, they often work odd hours, conducting interviews with whistleblowers outside the workplace. In one recent instance, Kahi worked with the U.S. Coast Guard to successfully prosecute a couple of sailors who routinely dumped oil off their vessel.
In 2008, Kahi went in with plenty of backup to an illegal hazardous waste dump in Leeward (western) Oahu, shut it down, and called in an EPA Emergency Response Team to safely clean up and remove drums of oil and chemicals. The soil was contaminated with lead, arsenic, and chromium. EPA ordered the owner to clean up the site. Two men associated with the dump were later charged and convicted for firearm violations.
With EPA and other federal and state agencies putting the spotlight on the Waianae Coast, the evironmental violators have been put on alert and now realize that they are being watched and will be held accountable for their actions, says Gary.
The United States Attorney for the District of Hawaii, Ed Kubo, has sent an equally clear message to those who do not adhere to the environmental laws and do not care to protect and preserve the Hawaiian Islands. Kahi, Gary and EPA-CID are committed to doing just that.

Image: Shirtwaist factory workers preparing for a strike, from the National Women's History Museum
On March 25, 1911, 146 garment workers working in New York City – most of them young, immigrant women – lost their lives in a deadly fire. The rights of the workers were already undervalued in favour of increased production, and the overcrowded factory, unsanitary conditions and locked exits created a literal and violent death trap. The incident created an uproar concerning the dismal conditions under which these women were forced to work, and raised issues concerning labour and union rights still relevant today.

Market Validation
"Instruction and discussion were great. Very helpful."
David Broadbent
Product Marketing Manager
National Instruments
"Useful parts were mixing the instructor's experience with the students' ideas and proposals. Rob is a great presenter. I really enjoyed the interactions."
Rolando Chapa
Product Line Director
Optek Technology
Figure out what your market really wants -- instead of just what they're telling you. Learn how to follow through with the right product launched in the right way.
This two day session covers the strategy and tactics of Market Validation using a three-step process outlined in the book "If You Build It Will They Come? Three Steps to Test and Validate Any Market Opportunity" (Wiley, 2010) by Dr. Rob Adams. Only 35 percent of new products launched by established companies succeed in the market. That figure drops to 10 percent when you move to the start-up world. If you look at the United States economy alone, this translates into a $260 billion dollar annual loss around new product failures.
Market Validation is a proven approach to reduce the risk of product failure. In this program, you will discover the strategy and tactics of conducting Market Validation and you will leave with a completed plan to conduct this process.
Early registration is encouraged. Class size is limited and often fill to capacity. We request registrations with payment at least 3 weeks in advance of the program start date.
Participants earn 1.4 CEUs and/or 14 CPEs for this course. A certificate of completion will be presented from Texas Executive Education.

VISIT DENVER is the premier source of information about Denver's hot spots, visitor attractions, cultural events, hotels, and more. For a comprehensive listing of things to do in Denver, visit www.visitdenver.com
Public art, theatre rentals, entertainment, and more.
Assessment Division
To search Denver's real property database click here.
The Assessment Division's Real Property Section determines values for Denver's residential and commercial real estate. Under the direct supervision of the Deputy Assessor/Chief Appraiser, the Section is organized into five teams:
Attached Housing values Condominiums, Townhouses and Row Houses;
Commercial & Industrial values all Non-residential Properties except land;
High Density values Land, Multifamily Dwellings and Apartments;
Residential East values Single Family Detached Houses located East of Colorado Blvd; and
Residential West values Single Family Detached Houses West of Colorado Blvd.
Depending on the type of property, appraisers use the cost, market, and/or income approaches to value with certain limitations. For example, the Colorado Constitution Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) amendment, which was approved by voters in 1992, requires all assessors to use ONLY the market (or direct sales comparison) approach in valuing residential property. For commercial real property, the capitalization of net income approach to value is generally the appropriate method.
By May 1 each year, Notices of Valuation are sent to real property taxpayers whose values have changed since the prior year. If this value appears incorrect, the taxpayer may protest the assessment. Protest instructions are included with the Notice of Valuation.
Tax Rates are set in December each year by taxing authorities like the City and County of Denver, Denver Public Schools and others listed on the tax bill. For more information regarding how tax rates are determined, contact the taxing authorities directly.

Hand-crafted Specialty Steak Sauces
Croix Valley Steak Sauces sprang to life in a small kitchen in the Northwoods of Wisconsin back in 1996 when my family and I opened a steakhouse and began serving every meal with a side of our homemade steak sauce. After a decade of customer's requests to bottle and sell it for home use, I decided that it was about time we did something about it. In 2009, I began producing the steak sauce for retail sale and finally brought Croix Valley Steak Sauces to the market.
Our steak sauces are hand crafted in small batches using only the finest ingredients. While our sauces are the perfect complement to any fine steak, Croix Valley Steak Sauces are superb on chicken, pork, burgers, vegetables and all of your favorite grilled meats. We've changed a lot of minds over the years of those who say a good steak doesn't need a sauce, but one try and you'll agree that a good steak is made excellent with Croix Valley Steak Sauces!
Now available in Original, Hot 'n Spicy and Garlic 'n Herb, Croix Valley Steak Sauces will change your mind as to what a steak sauce should be. Visit our website to discover some fantastic recipes for cooking with our sauces - it's not just for steak anymore!
I hope you enjoy our sauces. Let us know your thoughts!
Keep on grillin'!

Planned Parenthood Statement On House Homeland Security Committee Vote
Abortion Amendment to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Appropriations Bill Puts Politics Before National Security
Washington, DC Planned Parenthood strongly condemns the adoption of an abortion amendment to the Homeland Security Appropriations bill by the House Homeland Security Committee today. Not only is this amendment unnecessary and redundant to existing policy, but it is a clear case of bringing election-year politics into a critical discussion about U.S. homeland security issues.
This unnecessary amendment disallows access to the full legal range of reproductive health care for women, including access to abortion services.
We know all too well that opponents of womens reproductive health in Congress put politics before womens health, but injecting politics into a debate on national and homeland security should not be tolerated, said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Abortion has no business being debated as part of a Homeland Security funding bill. For months weve seen opponents of womens health focus more on limiting womens access to health services than on expanding jobs, growing the economy, and now, protecting U.S. national security.

Once you receive an executive pardon you will receive a certificate that you can present to the county clerk along with a completed voter registration card so that you may register to vote. Visit Department of Corrections for more information.
Yes, any citizen may inspect or make copies of any registration record, pursuant to KRS 116.095. However, your social security number will not be disclosed.
You will receive a notice in the mail from the county clerk with your precinct name and voting location address. The polls are open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., local time. All those in line by 6 p.m. will be able to vote. If you have any questions concerning where to vote, call your county clerk or visit the Voter Information Center.
You may change your political party affiliation at any time on or before December 31 to remain eligible to vote in the following primary election. You simply need to fill out a new voter registration card and return it to your county clerk by the December 31 deadline.
To be eligible to vote refer to the appropriate situation below:
Yes, it is very important that the county clerk has the most up-to-date information on you as possible.

You may request an absentee ballot application from your county clerk's office in person, by mail, by phone, or by fax. The deadline for applying for a mailed absentee ballot is seven days before an election. You must fulfill one of these qualifications in order to request a mailed absentee ballot:
A voting machine at the County Clerk's office is available during the last 12 (or more) working days before the election for certain qualified voters. If you do not qualify for a paper absentee ballot and meet one of the following conditions, you may vote an absentee ballot on a voting machine in the County Clerk's office.

The local or state Republican or Democrat party headquarters will also be able to supply you with this information, as well as the Kentucky State Board of Elections' website, www.elect.ky.gov.

You may request instructions on how to use the voting machine from the precinct election officials assigned to your precinct on election day. You may also request a sample ballot to review while waiting to vote.
Under the new Help America Vote Act (HAVA), all states are required to have a voting machine in each polling place that allows anyone with a disability to cast a ballot free of outside assistance. Nevertheless, voters who ask for voting assistance due to physical disability, blindness or an inability to read English may request voting assistance at the polls on election day. Physical disability and blindness are the only two reasons a voter may apply to the county board of elections for permanent voting assistance. A person may receive assistance from someone of their choice or the two election officers at the polls. A person may not be assisted by their employer, the employer's agent, a union officer or agent of that voter's union.
A provisional ballot is to be used only in federal elections to cast a ballot for federal offices by an individual who resides in the voting precinct and falls under one of the circumstances below:
If you vote a provisional ballot, you can determine if your vote counted by using the Provisional Voter Information search feature located on the State Board of Election's web site or by calling your local county clerk of the county in which you cast the ballot.
If you believe that your right to vote has been violated, please contact one of the following:
Visit Voter's Rights and Responsibilities for a detail of your rights.
The Kentucky State Board of Elections has a tri-fold brochure called a Checklist for Voter Registration Drives to provide you assistance in having a voter registration drive.

|"OK Maps" - A special hidden feature for offline maps users in Android 7.0
|Abby - Google Community Manager
Dear Mapping community,
The offline maps feature is not included in today's release of the new Google Maps app (version 7.0) for Android.
We know a lot of you love offline maps, and we've included a special feature hidden in the app that allows you to pre-load an area of the map you need offline simply by going to that area in the app and typing "OK Maps" in the search box (or speaking "OK Maps" into your Android device). That area will then be pre-loaded to your device cache and accessible when you don't have a connection. Just return to that area of the map, and it will be available to you.
Please stay tuned, as the team works hard to bring you updates to this feature.
Google Maps Community Manager
EDIT: Thank you all for your feedback! We've listened and have updated the app to include a "Make this map area available offline" card, making it easier for you to cache offline maps. For more information, please see this sticky.

Colorado Health Insurance Exchange to open in October
WESTERN SAN JUANS – With the upcoming fall implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obama Care, the Tri-County Health Network has been awarded a grant from Connect for Health Colorado to help Montrose, Ouray and San Miguel County residents select and enroll in health insurance plans.
Through the grant, TCHN will become part of the Connect for Health Assistance Network and serve local communities by helping individuals, families and small businesses consider health plan options, apply for insurance affordability programs, and sign up for health coverage.
"Because of its rural nature, our region qualifies as a 'Medically Underserved Community' and 'Health Professional Shortage Area,'" said Lynn Borup, executive director of the Tri-County Health Network. "We have a large, often unhealthy, uninsured population; and it's critical that we help them enroll in insurance programs. The larger the pool of insured, the lower the rates will be for everyone."
The Affordable Care Act requires that all Americans be enrolled in some type of program by Jan. 31, 2014. Individuals can either decide to keep their current insurance plans or purchase an insurance plan through an online marketplace otherwise known as a "health insurance exchange pool."
Starting in October, Colorado's Connect for Health Colorado will offer individuals, families and small employers a new online marketplace for health insurance and, to reduce costs, exclusive access to up-front financial assistance based on income. Customers will shop through a website and receive help – both in-person and over-the-phone – from a network of customer service professionals, including TCHN representatives. The marketplace is a public, nonprofit entity that was established by a 2011 state law. More information on Connect for Health Colorado is available at ConnectforHealthCO.com.
As a member of the new Connect for Health Assistance Network, TCHN is charged with providing local, in-person assistance to anyone – individuals, families and small businesses – shopping for healthcare coverage through Colorado's new health insurance marketplace. To lower participant costs, TCHN will work with regional residents to apply for new tax credits and find other insurance affordability programs. For more information call 970/708-7096. To learn more about TCHN programs see www.TCHNetwork.org.
"The implementation of Obama Care will fundamentally expand services and usage across our region," said Davis Fansler, member of the Telluride Health and Wellness Community Council. "It's important that everyone be aware of the coming changes and be prepared for the implications. The Health and Wellness Community Council has been actively examining the way this shift in policy will change the reality of healthcare in our region, and we're excited about the opportunities for previously uninsured individuals from all walks of life to enroll in healthcare plans."
TCHN is comprised of a group of healthcare providers in southwestern Colorado within Montrose, Ouray and San Miguel counties and includes: Montrose Memorial Hospital; the Basin Clinic; Uncompahgre Medical Center; Telluride Medical Center; Midwestern Colorado Mental Health Center; and the Local Health Initiative, a program of the Telluride Foundation.
The Telluride Health and Wellness Center Initiative has been created to examine how the shift in policies and the healthcare delivery system could change practices for the region, and the Telluride Medical Center in particular, and if a new medical facility could open new opportunities for expanded services and relationships for Telluride.
For more information on TCHN, the Community Council and the Telluride Health and Wellness Center Initiative, or to join the conversation about what Telluride needs in order to address these upcoming healthcare changes, go to telluridehealthideas.org, or to join the list serve at bigtent.com/groups/tellwell, "like" our Facebook page "Telluride Health & Wellness," follow us on twitter @TRIDEWELL, or contact the Telluride Foundation at 970/728-8717 or firstname.lastname@example.com to be added to the e-mail distribution list.
