QMPS: Staphylococcus aureus, A new twist on an old story
By Jessica C. Scillieri Smith, DVM & George Cudoc
After decades of dealing with Staphylococcus aureus, it may feel like the dairy industry has not made any progress. Many herds across the country still struggle to keep the number of infected cows to a minimum, and it always seems like the organism is targeting one's best and highest-producing cows.
Over the years, our industry has adopted changes and standards that have helped control the spread of this organism. Research has been done to determine the most effective treatment options, and yet some still struggle. Humans are smarter than bacteria, but we haven't quite outsmarted Staph. aureus ... yet.
Farmer "Ted" has a small dairy in upstate New York. He milks about 50 cows, and is struggling to keep his somatic cell count (SCC) down. He'd like to eventually get premiums, but just trying to keep it under 400,000 cells/ml is his current goal. Six months ago, he cultured all the cows in the herd and seven were identified with Staph. aureus. By aggressively culling and purchasing replacements, Ted hoped he had eliminated the problem. His SCC immediately dropped, but then rose again.
Veterinarians and dairy scientists have been studying Staph. aureus for years and the wealth of information on how the organism behaves is still growing. Staph. aureus lives in the mammary gland of the cow and can wall itself off by creating abscesses. It will intermittently release itself back into the gland, resulting in flare-ups of clinical disease.
This "skill" is one of the main reasons we struggle to identify infected cows, and why treatments are not more successful. When Staph. aureus is intermittently shed from the microabscesses in the mammary gland, it is difficult to call a cow free from infection with just one milk culture, or to evaluate attempted treatment after just one negative culture. The organism also frequently causes subclinical infections, potentially escaping detection until the increased SCC is noted.
Historically, the textbooks told us Staph. aureus is considered a contagious pathogen, and certainly standard practices in the modern dairy industry have helped curb the spread. Effective teat dips, gloved hands, individual towels and fly control reduce the risk of spreading the organism from an infected cow to a non-infected cow. Farms that identify cows with Staph. aureus and milk them at the end of milking (or with a separate unit) reduce the risk further. But even with all these control measures, new cases develop – sometimes even in fresh heifers, supposedly unexposed to infections due to milking or handling.
Here's where the story takes a turn. We know that Staph. aureus can be found outside the mammary gland – on the skin, vagina and nose – and that it has also been cultured from barn bedding and even the air. Previously, we have considered these environmental sources to pose minimal risk for intramammary infections.
But bugs don't read books, and the environment can be a source of infection as well. The concept of Staph. aureus not simply being spread from cow to cow, but also infecting cows from the environment, makes control measures that much more difficult. Why can't Staph. aureus just choose – contagious or environmental? Maybe this is why we have such difficulty eliminating this problem.
Three possible sources of infection
Now, with strain typing, we can get a better picture of which pattern the Staph. aureus in a herd is mimicking. Strain typing allows us to determine if one strain of Staph. aureus is spreading from cow to cow, or if more than one strain is being picked up from the cow's environment.
Back to Farmer Ted and his uphill battle: There are three possible sources of infection:
1) cows in the herd that were not identified with Staph. aureus,
2) new cows purchased that were already infected, and
3) environmental sources.
One of the first things to look at are his HiFresh rate, or the percentage of cows with a linear score over 4 at the first test after freshening (Figure 1). By interpreting his elevated HiFresh rate on Dairy Comp 305, most of the cows freshened in with a linear score over 4 during many months. When breaking out the mature cows and heifers, both groups mirror the herd trend. This indicates that cows and heifers are potentially being infected from the environment while they are not lactating.
To know if these infections are a contagious or environmental form of Staph. aureus, we need to determine if the strains of the organism are all the same (contagious) or different (environmental) through strain typing. Once we determine this, we can focus our efforts on Ted's farm.
Figure 2 shows RAPD PCR patterns from the Staph. aureus isolates that were identified in Farmer Ted's cows. The patterns are created by fragments of DNA, and the distance and intensity of each band is determined by the volume and length of the fragments. As you can see, there is variation between the patterns when comparing the different samples of Staph. aureus cultured from Farmer Ted's cows. The different patterns in all but the first two columns (F1 and F2) indicate that there are different strains for each of the Staph. aureus infected cows. This is suggestive of an environmental source of infection, as opposed to contagious spread where the same strain (clone) would travel from cow to cow and result in identical patterns.
To deal with the current infections, we can look at individual cows and determine their suitability for treatment. With the low success rate for treatment of Staph. aureus, it makes sense to only spend the time and financial input on cows that have the best chance to cure. With an extended course of antibiotic therapy, first-lactation cows with only one infected quarter have the best chance of being cured (40%-50%). Older cows or cows with more than one quarter affected are less likely to be cleared of the infection, and should be milked last and potentially culled from the herd at the next opportunity. If treatment is attempted, three negative milk cultures are used to definitively call a cow cured.
For Ted, the focus was on his dry cow and heifer management. Adding an internal teat sealant to the dry cow protocol was recommended to help prevent infection during this period. The bedding in the dry cow and heifer facilities needed to be changed more frequently and overcrowding addressed. New cows should always be sampled for milk culture to ensure that Staph. aureus is not being brought into the herd unknowingly.
With close monitoring and strategic changes in management, it will be possible for Ted to outsmart those bugs, start getting those premiums and begin feeling proud of his quality milk again!

Floods cost Australia an estimated $400 million a year
A rebate will be offered to any resident in the region if they source specially designed "inflatable" sandless bags in readiness for the summer storm season.
Mackay Regional Council today endorsed a rebate system to encourage residents to be better prepared and reduce demand on council and SES resources.
Mayor Col Meng said the rebate was a simple, effective way to ensure residents were cyclone or flood ready.
"This is a proactive approach that reduces the risk of residents needing to line up to get sandbags during inclement weather," he said.
Council will offer $5 per bag on the initial purchase of these sandless environmentally friendly "inflatable" bags – a maximum rebate of $25 (five sandbags) is applicable.
Once residents have purchased the bags, proof of receipt is required together with evidence of residency within the Mackay Regional Council area, either by sending the completed form to council or by visiting a council customer service center.
It is anticipated that these forms will be available from November 1 on council's website.
A refund check will then be sent to eligible applications. Only one rebate to a maximum of $25 will be available to each residence
Cr Meng said the new light-weight "inflatable" flood defense bag will be available at most hardware stores shortly.
"They are much more effective than traditional sandbags," he said.
The new products expand into a usable sandbag by adding water and are about 10 kilograms lighter than a traditional sandbag. They can be easily stored and made ready for us in minutes.
Cr Meng said council and SES resources were often tied up filling and distributing sandbags to the community at the most critical time of a flood or cyclone event.
"If the community had a handy supply at home, these critical resources could be deployed to better deal with flooding issues across the region," he said.

Android phones! There are some that I love. The HTC One X was one of those, thanks to a very attractive external package alongside an Android skin (Sense) that had a fairly light touch and didn't mess with most of Android's good features, but brought some nice additional touches to the mix. The HTC One X+ is like the One X, but made better in nearly every important respect. Not surprisingly, that improves my impression of it, too.
… A powerful upgrade of HTC's well-designed and executed HTC One X flagship Android phone. It brings an improved quad core processor to the mix, which is double the number of cores on the U.S. version of the One X, and it's faster at 1.7 GHz. It has double the storage of the One X, and a beefier battery at 2100mAh. That's especially nice, because the original already impressed with its 1800mAh power reserve.
… Anyone looking for their first Android phone. Seriously, the One X+ is a fantastic device that improves on its predecessor where it counts (performance and battery life) and leaves everything else pretty much the same. That's a very good thing. Especially for newbies, HTC's phones do a good job of delivering Android in a package that may not appeal to Android purists, but that definitely hits a sweet spot for general users.
… HTC just quietly goes around doing a great job at making smartphones. It's amazing to me that this company doesn't get more of the U.S. consumer market. Samsung makes some fine phones, but if I'm feeling a little Android, I'd much rather grab the One X+, despite better battery life and cameras on the Galaxy S III and Note II. The only real downside of this device is that it's still a little pricy on contract, but if you've got the money and Samsung's designs just don't excite you, this is the way to go.
HTC Corp, (TAIEX: 2498) produces smartphones running the Android and Windows Phone 7 operating systems for themselves and as an OEM to other manufacturers. Since launching its own brand in late 2006, the company has introduced dozens of HTC-branded products around the world. The company recently introduced the HTC diamond to compete with Apple's iPhone.

Stream ComponentThe stream: component provides access to the System.in, System.out and System.err streams as well as allowing streaming of file and URL. Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId> <artifactId>camel-stream</artifactId> <version>x.x.x</version> <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version --> </dependency> URI formatstream:in[?options] stream:out[?options] stream:err[?options] stream:header[?options] In addition, the file and url endpoint URIs are supported: stream:file?fileName=/foo/bar.txt stream:url[?options] If the stream:header URI is specified, the stream header is used to find the stream to write to. This option is available only for stream producers (that is, it cannot appear in from()). You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?option=value&option=value&... Options
Message contentThe stream: component supports either String or byte[] for writing to streams. Just add either String or byte[] content to the message.in.body. Messages sent to the stream: producer in binary mode are not followed by the newline character (as opposed to the String messages). Message with null body will not be appended to the output stream. SamplesIn the following sample we route messages from the direct:in endpoint to the System.out stream: // Route messages to the standard output. from("direct:in").to("stream:out"); // Send String payload to the standard output. // Message will be followed by the newline. template.sendBody("direct:in", "Hello Text World"); // Send byte[] payload to the standard output. // No newline will be added after the message. template.sendBody("direct:in", "Hello Bytes World".getBytes()); The following sample demonstrates how the header type can be used to determine which stream to use. In the sample we use our own output stream, MyOutputStream. private OutputStream mystream = new MyOutputStream(); private StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); @Test public void testStringContent() { template.sendBody("direct:in", "Hello"); // StreamProducer appends \n in text mode assertEquals("Hello\n", sb.toString()); } @Test public void testBinaryContent() { template.sendBody("direct:in", "Hello".getBytes()); // StreamProducer is in binary mode so no \n is appended assertEquals("Hello", sb.toString()); } protected RouteBuilder createRouteBuilder() { return new RouteBuilder() { public void configure() { from("direct:in").setHeader("stream", constant(mystream)). to("stream:header"); } }; } private class MyOutputStream extends OutputStream { public void write(int b) throws IOException { sb.append((char)b); } } The following sample demonstrates how to continuously read a file stream (analogous to the UNIX tail command): from("stream:file?fileName=/server/logs/server.log&scanStream=true&scanStreamDelay=1000").to("bean:logService?method=parseLogLine"); One gotcha with scanStream (pre Camel 2.7) or scanStream + retry is the file will be re-opened and scanned with each iteration of scanStreamDelay. Until NIO2 is available we cannot reliably detect when a file is deleted/recreated. See Also |

Medivation Prostate Cancer Drug Launches Hot
SAN FRANCISCO (TheStreet) --Medivation's (MDVN) marketing partner Astellas reported Xtandi sales of $14 million for the third quarter and forecast $100 million in sales for the newly launched prostate cancer drug through the end of its fiscal year on March 31, 2013.
Xtandi was developed by Medivation but is being sold by the Japanese drug maker Astellas, which reports sales.
Gauging a consensus for early Xtandi sales has been difficult but $14 million in third-quarter revenue is definitely higher than the Street expected given that Astellas only started selling the drug in the middle of September. Assume that a good chunk of third-quarter sales is wholesaler inventory stocking.
The guidance for $100 million in Xtandi sales through March 31, 2013 -- or six months into the drug's launch -- puts the drug on pace to meet Street expectations for the calendar year 2013.
"Taking into consideration potential sales ramp, Astellas' guidance could imply Oct.-Dec. 2012 sales of $30-35 million and Jan.-March 2013 sales of $51-56 million, favorably positioning Xtandi to at least meet expectations including consensus of approximately $225M, which includes estimates in the mid-$300 millions that we believe are bullish for the first-year of launch for any product," writes Jefferies analyst Biren Amin. FDA approved Xtandi in August for the post-chemo treatment of men with advanced prostate cancer. In this setting, Xtandi competes mainly with Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ) Zytiga. Both drugs, however, are expected to eventually garner most of their sales in the larger and more lucrative pre-chemo prostate cancer setting, where they also threaten to replace Dendreon's (DNDN) Provenge. --Written by Adam Feuerstein in Boston.>To contact the writer of this article, click here: Adam Feuerstein. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/adamfeuerstein. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

PROVO, Utah — Two all-state MVP's, two Virginia standouts and a first-team all-state shortstop will join the BYU softball program for the 2014 season.
McKenna Bull, Lauren Bell, Ashley Thompson, Alexa Strid and Sydney Broderick will all be joining the program for its first year in the West Coast Conference.
Bull and Bell are from Utah, while Thompson hales from Washington. Strid and Broderick are both from Virginia and are the first players in BYU softball history from that state.
Bull is a pitcher from Ogden. She currently plays for Weber High School and the Salt Lake Pegasus. Last year, she led her team to the 5A state championship and earned the 5A MVP and All-Tournament MVP awards. With a 1.34 ERA, she had 310 strikeouts and a 26-2 record her junior year.
"We are extremely excited for McKenna to join our team and pitching staff," head coach Gordon Eakin said. "McKenna has the tools to be a dominant division one pitcher. She is a tough competitor who won't accept failure. With her talent, mental toughness and work ethic, she will make a positive impact on our team right from the start."
Bell, a shortstop from Murray, plays for Murray High School. She led her team to the third round of the state playoffs in 2012 with a .450 batting average and 31 scored runs. She also led her team in stolen bases and was named to the all-state first team. She plays club ball with the Salt Lake Pegasus.
"Lauren is a very athletic and versatile athlete," Eakin said. "She has the ability to compete at the highest level in several different positions. As a left-handed hitter, she will add speed to our offensive line up and the diversity to use her at different positions on defense."
Thompson, a pitcher from Connell High School in Connell, WA., is a two-time ESPN West Player of the Week and a two-time Washington All-State MVP. Thompson helped her team to back-to-back state championships in 2010 and 2011. She currently holds the state high school single season home run record with 23 and is also the record holder in single season RBIs with 90. With an all-time record of 59-6 from the circle, Thompson has 736 strikeouts through her junior year. She also plays for the Washington Explosion Gold and her club team has won seven Washington state championships.
"We are extremely excited that Ashley chose BYU," Eakin said. "She was highly recruited by some of the best programs in the country and will be a player that changes games both offensively and defensively. She is very strong and athletic. She has the potential to be a dominant pitcher and will add power to our offensive line up. The kid can flat out hit. As a coach that loves strong offensive teams, Ashley has the ability to exceed my expectations."
Broderick is an outfielder and catcher from Ashburn, VA. She plays for Stone Bridge High School and the New Jersey Intensity. Last year, she hit .571 with 53 RBIs and has earned first team all-district, first team all-region and first team all-state accolades so far during her high school career.
"Sydney has a cannon of an arm," Eakin said. "She will utilize that arm either behind the plate or in the outfield for our team. We believe runners will not be able to run on Sydney whether it is attempting to steal or score. She has a strong left handed bat that can hit for power and average. Sydney is a gamer and just knows how to get the job done."
Strid, a shortstop from Stephens City, VA., plays for the GA East Cobb Bullets. She led her team to a 14-U Shamrocks top-10 finish at CO Fireworks, a 16-U Shamrocks top finish at the Louisville Slugger invitational and an 18-U East Cobb Bullets top-10 finish at Premier Nationals.

By BOB JENSEN
For many anglers, the first fishing trip of the open water season is for crappies. In some areas, fishing season for walleyes and bass and such is not yet open, but regulations permit us to chase crappies.
In other areas, crappies are just really accessible early in the fishing season. They can be caught from boats, but they can also be caught from docks or the shoreline. Crappies can be easy to catch this time of year, they're abundant in many areas across North America, and they're great on a plate. For many reasons, you should be chasing crappies right now.
Here's how.
First, just like any other time of the year, you've gotta' find the fish. Crappies will be around stuff: That stuff might be reeds or a downed tree or a dock.
Next, early in the year, you want to find the warmest water. Find warm water with cover that's near deep water and you'll probably have crappies within casting range. Crappies like to have access to deep water. If the weather turns cold, they like to be able to move quickly to the deeper water. They'll also move there after they spawn.
So, now that we know where they are, we need to put a bait where they are. Several presentations will work, but probably the most popular and effective, when done properly, is to suspend a jig or a basic splitshot/hook under a slip-bobber. Slip-bobbers allow an angler to cast easily and present a bait right in the crappie's face. Northland's Lite-Bite slip-bobbers have a brass grommet that enables the bobber to slide easily on your line.
Start with a sixteenth ounce Fire-fly or Gypsi jig: Go smaller if the crappies don't eat it. Color is one of the things you'll need to experiment with, as sometimes the crappies can be very selective. Some very successful crappie catchers like a black jig because many of the bugs being hatched early in the year are black. These anglers like to "match the hatch".
However, I've seen many instances when a pink or chartreuse or orange jig is very productive early in the year, and there aren't very many pink or chartreuse or orange bugs in the water. Keep trying different colors until the fish show you what they want.
Small minnows will work well on the jig, but so will a soft-bait tail that has a quivering action like a Gulp! Fish Fry.
Four pound test Trilene XL, XT, or Sensation are great crappie lines.
A key consideration is where you set the bobber stop. It is very important to suspend your bait just a tad above the fish. If you think the fish are four feet below the surface, set your bobber so it is about three and a half feet below the surface. You don't want the bait below the fish. Fish of any species are more likely to go up for a bait than down.
If the bite is really slow, tie on a hook with a couple of split shot. Even the most finicky crappie will usually hit this set-up.
Crappie action can be very good right now. Keep a couple for supper and put the rest back. By doing so, we'll be able to enjoy this early season action for a long time.

A number of years ago, when I lived at home and had access to television (oh, the things you take for granted!) I used to watch a British show called How to Look Good Naked. A self conscious woman (typically one who was disheveled and encased in horrendous, baggy clothing) would be put through a series of challenges, all designed to convince her that her body was beautiful, attractive and sexy – and that so was she! The show would culminate with the woman strutting down a catwalk in only her underwear – a testament to her newfound confidence and acceptance of her body. I loved it!
The host of the show was a stylist named Gok, who would help the woman select strategic wardrobe pieces – items that tucked, concealed, supported or disguised whichever body parts induced insecurity. Gok loved the clothes, but you knew that he loved the women more. In fact, he played the token "gay best friend" that every woman needs – supportive, hilarious, and committed to the idea that beauty comes in every size.
I've just finished reading Gok's autobiography, Through Thick and Thin, and I really enjoyed it. Frankly, it's a beach read. There's nothing in here that's profound or intellectually rigorous. Rather, it's a nice light read for people who watched and loved the show, or for people who might be interested in how to break into the styling business.
Gok's road to stardom wasn't an easy one. He was obese and then anorexic; he worked several dissatisfying jobs before finding the one he loved, and he both made and lost friends along the way. Indeed, life wasn't simple for a self-described "fat, gay Chinese kid", yet Gok's determination and the love of his family saw him though challenging times. This biography has an ultimately heartwarming tone.
Check it out if you need a nice, light read. Or if you're interested in a career in fashion and styling. Or if you're a fat, gay, Chinese kid. And especially if you're struggling with body issues, and you just want to feel better.
While shopping on my supper break a few days ago, I proved Dr. William Davis right. Davis is the author of a contentious new book: Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find your Path Back to Health and he claims that cutting wheat out of your diet might allow you to lose several pounds within the first few weeks. Does it sound too good to be true? Sure. But thus far, it's working for me. Eleven days without wheat and already my clothes are a bit looser. I could barely contain my grin, when I heard myself asking if I could get that skirt one smaller size. YES!
I don't know if I'm under the blissful influence of the placebo effect or not, but I really do feel lighter, energetic, and increasingly more clear-headed. I think I'll keep it up!
Your Calgary Public Library branch contains lots of diet books; not all of them advise you to eschew wheat, but nearly every one will tell you to limit "white foods": sugars, breads, snack foods and other miscellaneous refined and processed products. Essentially, you should give up the food that's not really food. Give it a try and see how you feel!
Our e-library contains comprehensive and reputable health and wellness information and we've got a great range of exercise DVDs and diet books, too. And check out our program guide for programs on health and nutrition.
By the way, Dr. Davis was interviewed recently in McLean's magazine. If you missed it, you can find the article in our e-library database Canadian Newsstand. Not sure how to access it? Call us at (403) 260-2782, or head to our homepage and strike up a chat! We're happy to give you instructions!
Check out this popular new book, for an interesting account of how the United States went from superpower to super broke. Cowen has no bias against either Republicans or Democrats, and he doesn't seek to lay blame, but rather to enlighten readers about the causal factors involved in the recession of an economy as large as the United States'. His explanations are clear and reasonable; this is everyday economics for folks who are drawn to real world examples rather than complex theories. David Brooks of the New York Times states that this is "the most debated nonfiction book so far this year". Check it out today.
Stealing is as old as human culture, and it even exists in the animal world. So it's no surprise that with the rise of capitalism and department stores in particular, we witness a specific type of stealing: shoplifting. I'm partway through a fascinating new book on shoplifting. It covers the history of shoplifting, as well as the various theories that have sprung up to explain it. Shoplifting can't only be about poverty – think of that infamous Winona Ryder! - but it's not just about greed or temptation, either. Is shoplifting an uncontrollable impulse? Can it be said that it's a political act or statement? What are its real costs to business owners and consumers?
Most fascinating to me is the way that shoplifters describe their own behavior. Some are remorseless; others are ashamed. Some shoplifters do it to get a cheap (make that free) high, while others enjoy the feeling of superiority that results when they've conned a "stupid salesman". Shoplifting is committed by both men and women, old and young, and by people of every ethnicity and class – and it affects everyone in the marketplace.
Find out more by reading this interesting, fast-paced read. The Steal is part history, part anthropology, and totally fascinating!

A few days ago, I blogged about some new books that caught my eye. I took one of them home and read it in a single evening. It was Mark Kurlansky's What: Are These the Twenty Most Important Questions in Human History – Or Is This a Game of Twenty Questions? I must admit that by its final chapter, I was starved for an answer rather than another question, but thankfully, I got one.
This book is a novel concept – it's a book about the big questions, composed entirely of questions. And even though it may sound impossible to achieve, Kurlansky has managed to accomplish this task with elegance. Check out the book if you have an interest in philosophy or history!
I especially love the excerpt from Letters to a Young Poet, which Kurlansky includes after all of his questioning:
You are so young, and have not even started, and I want to beg you, as strongly as I can, dear sir, to be patient with all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked little rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
Beautiful, huh?
For books full of questions and people who can help you find the answers, visit your local library!

Despite at least a perceived drop in enforcement, there continue to be developments in regulation and litigation involving solid and hazardous waste. As many predicted, the Bush administration has not been particularly active on the environmental front. Although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports an increase in the amount of civil penalties recovered in the last fiscal year, the fine print reveals that this "increase" is the result of a relatively few number of larger cases.

When the staff at Middletown, Ohio's wastewater treatment plant decided two years ago to switch from gaseous chlorine to sodium hypochlorite for disinfection, they also wanted to find an alternative to using a pressurized liquid chemical delivery system.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania constructed Capital City Airport in the 1930s as the Harrisburg regional commercial airport. Today it is one of the major general aviation airports for the city of Harrisburg, Pa. Averaging more than 67,000 corporate, charter, and aircraft operations every year, Capital City Airport has earned its place as the airport of choice for general aviation pilots and their passengers.
With one party in charge of all three branches of the federal government, there have been no dramatic announcements of radical changes in water quality policy. At the time of this writing, it appears recent issues and trends in water quality will remain the hot issues for 2005.
Facilities in the United States and Puerto Rico that consistently achieve outstanding environmental results may be eligible for recognition and regulatory incentives through a voluntary program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Each January, Environmental Protection asks leading environmental professionals to predict what trends they see for the coming year.
In prior years one or two major issues have dominated regarding air pollution. This year, there will be a fascinating mix of significant issues, including hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), implementation of the new ambient air quality standards, Title V permitting, New Source Review (NSR), and enforcement.
Immediately following the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, the city of New York and a group of federal, state, and local authorities took steps to secure and maintain the city's lifeline: its drinking water supply system.
Environmental, health and safety IT (information technology) systems span the spectrum from simple, home-grown spreadsheets to complex, enterprise systems that promise to do just about anything and everything.
For more than 30 years the Clean Water Act (CWA) has established programs and requirements to protect the quality of U.S. rivers, lakes, and coastal waters. In that time, this regulatory framework has succeeded in doubling the number of water bodies in the United State that are considered swimmable and fishable. Today, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) more than two thirds of water bodies are regarded as healthy compared to only one third in 1972 when the CWA was first created by Congress.
Benjamin Franklin once said, "When the well's dry, we know the worth of water." With that in mind, paper companies recognize it is not a question of whether they should treat and recycle their spent water -- the question is "How?" Some paper companies are not only finding environmentally friendly ways to take care of spent water, they are going a step further by putting the sludge from their wastewater treatment plants to beneficial use by converting it to glass aggregate, steam, and electricity. In fact, paper companies are leading the charge in using practices that reduce the consumption of resources and related emissions for themselves and their customers.
The environment in which the water and wastewater industries operate has never been more challenging. Increasingly complex financial and environmental regulations, security concerns, and shrinking budgets are just a few of the realities keeping managers up at night. Simultaneously addressing these sometimes conflicting demands may seem overwhelming on the surface, but it doesn't have to be. Experience shows that integrating information -- both horizontally and vertically throughout an organization -- can make it easier to satisfy these competing concerns, while at the same time producing additional measurable benefits.
Environmental professionals, civil engineers, and most other professionals are legally obligated to meet the standard of care, i.e., to apply the care and skill ordinarily applied by local peers performing similar services at the same time.

Beautiful and blue, vast, and sometimes violent, the Great Lakes are truly "Nature's Reservoir." They contain 20 percent of the earth's fresh surface water, spanning nearly 900 miles from the headwaters of the St. Lawrence River in Kingston, Ontario, in the east to their western fingertip at Duluth, Minnesota.
In 1999, when former Vice President Al Gore stated during an interview on a CNN television program that he "took the initiative in creating the Internet," neither political party had any idea of the significance his invention would have on American politics.
There are numerous case studies of failed remedial systems, which in turn can be linked to the remedial design team not fully understanding the site conditions. Often the most effective way to clean up these recalcitrant sites is source/migration control rather than intrusive remediation. The best solution can only be determined if the site is properly understood.
Until just recently, water was viewed as a low-cost commodity. This perception has changed as communities across the United States face water supply limitations and plant managers look for ways to cut their process water treatment cost.

Tributes paid to Christmas Day crash couple
By Jennifer MaxfieldDecember 27, 2012
TRIBUTES have been paid to a couple from Church Crookham who died in a car crash on Christmas day.
Ann Mary Goodrich, 57, and her husband, 56-year-old Paul John Goodrich were travelling in a silver Volkswagen Golf when it went off the road and crashed into trees near Basingstoke on Tuesday.
They were pronounced dead at the scene.
A statement from their family described them as "much loved parents" who will be "greatly missed".
"Ann and Paul Goodrich were on their way to spend Christmas day with their son Darren, daughter Hannah and her family, when the tragic, fatal accident occurred," it added.
"A close-knit family, they were looking forward to also enjoying the day with their grandson, Daniel, aged two.
Police were called to the accident at 10.05am when a member of the public reported that a car had gone off the road and collided with trees on the B3349 Odiham Road at Heckfield Heath.
A 29-year-old man from Farnborough, believed to be the driver of the VW Golf, received medical attention at the scene before being taken to hospital, where he remains with serious injuries, which are not thought to be life-threatening.
Sections of the B3011 and the B3349 were closed for several hours while a police investigation took place at the scene.
The family thanked the emergency services, Family Support Officer and hospital staff for their "compassionate care and attention", adding: "We are absolutely devastated and request to be left in peace, to grieve in private, at this sad time."
Post-mortem examinations to confirm the causes of death are due to be held later this week.
Hampshire Constabulary's road death investigation team (RDIT) appealing for witnesses.
Senior investigating officer Sergeant Andy Lynch said: "We believe only one vehicle was involved in the collision, but we need to confirm the last known movements of the silver Volkswagen Golf. Therefore, I am appealing for anyone who saw this car being driven on the B3349 at Heckfield Heath near Wellington Country Park at around 10am on Christmas day."
Witnesses or anyone with information are asked to contact Hampshire's RDIT at Eastleigh police station by phoning 101 and quoting Operation Dhole or call Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Non-Academic Misconduct:
"Character, conscience, citizenship, tolerance, civility, and individual and social responsibility…should be part of the standard equipment of our graduates, not options."
- "Returning to Our Roots: The Student Experience," Report from the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges, 1997
The University of Wisconsin expects good citizenship and responsible behavior from students. When these expectations are not met, the non-academic misconduct process may be used to redirect students into more acceptable patterns of behavior. This process encourages students to take responsibility for their choices and actions, allowing the University and student jointly to determine an appropriate disciplinary response.
Many, if not most, misconduct cases result in the sanction of a formal reprimand and some sort of educational condition. However, there are an increasing number of incidents (or repeat violations) warranting a more severe level of sanction, including disciplinary probation (which is noted on official transcripts) and even suspension/expulsion. Students need to be aware that the choices they make can compromise their education and future.
Students and their parents/guardians need to know some types of behaviors may be deemed incompatible with membership in the University community and therefore may result in suspension or expulsion from the UW-system. The list below, while not exhaustive, gives some general types and examples of serious misconduct violations that may result in separation from the UW-System:
- Victimizing others (assault, stalking, and harassment).
- Compromising their own or others' health or safety (assault, arson, severe or repeated alcohol policy violations, selling or using drugs, possession of a weapon).
- Poor citizenship (theft, vandalism, giving false information, failing to abide by restrictions placed in an earlier disciplinary action)
As of Sep 1, 2009, revised UWS Chapter 17-Nonacademic Misconduct and Chapter 18-Conduct on University Lands are in effect.
