When you drive into central El Paso, Texas, you can't miss the huge smokestack towering over the city, painted with the letters A-S-A-R-C-O. The American Smelting and Refining Company (ASARCO) lead and copper smelter has held that place for more than a century.
Five minutes from downtown El Paso and just across the Rio Grande from Ciudad Juárez—which together form the largest border metropolitan area in the world—ASARCO emitted hundreds of tons of lead, arsenic, and cadmium onto surrounding homes, schools, and businesses from 1887-1999.
The ASARCO smelter is now poised to smelt again and release even more toxins into the area. ASARCO has already made too many of Juárez and El Paso's children sick with lead poisoning. Area families need a safe environment that is free of lead.
That is why the Sierra Club has been leading the charge to keep the smelter closed and to hold ASARCO accountable for its environmental and public health abuses.

Shoes look like the REI photo--purple mesh, dark blue leather on the sides, and aqua/teal laces. My daughter likes these shoes and had no issue with them on the first day stating they were very comfortable and required no break-in. I got them on sale and they are PERFECT! My daughter doesn't like pink so the color combo was not a problem. I liked the sale price so I bought two sizes! We are keeping both sizes and she will wear the next pair when she grows out of the curent pair!

STILLWATER, Okla. — Payne County law enforcement agencies were called to assist in searching for someone possibly involved with a fatal crash near Perkins.
Sheriff's Department Capt. Kevin Woodward said Perkins, Drumright, Iowa Tribe and Payne County law enforcement agencies were contacted by Oklahoma Highway Patrol to assist in searching for someone who might have run from the scene of a fatal wreck.
The driver of a pickup truck, Kenneth A. Gomez, 22, of Cushing, was pronounced dead at the scene due to massive internal injuries, a report by the Department of Public Safety shows.
According to the Sheriff's department, the search did not find anyone.
Investigating troopers listed intoxicated driving as the cause of the crash.
The wreck occured shortly before 11:00 p.m. Monday on Norfolk Road one mile east of Cushing. The truck departed the roadway striking a fence, gate and a utility pole before going up in the air and striking a second utility pole before landing upside down, the report shows.
Passengers Hayden A. Boyles, 21, of Cushing and Chance D. Gray, 18, of Cushing both sustained head and trunk internal injuries but were treated and released from Cushing Regional Hospital.

A record number of attendees — more than 3,777 alumni and guests from 46 states and 23 countries — came to campus June 2-5 for Tech Reunions. They chose among some 149 events from class gatherings to campus tours to Tech Night at the Pops, which featured performances by Tom Scholz '69 of the Platinum-award winning band Boston and mezzo-soprano Stephanie McGuire '96.
MIT Alumni Association President Anne Street '69, SM '72 announced two honorary association memberships. MIT physics professor Ernie Moniz, the Cecil & Ida Green Distinguished Professor and the director of the MIT Energy Initiative, was honored for his help on Association projects and his popular talks to alumni. Rosanne Goldstein was honored for her six decades as an engaged member of the MIT community. She and her late husband Jim, who earned three MIT degrees in the late 1940s, founded the Goldstein lecture series; their three sons and a grandson also earned MIT degrees.
As Street turned the ceremonial gavel over to incoming Association President Greg Turner '74, MAR '77, she noted that the sesquicentennial celebrations provided new opportunities for alumni to gather worldwide. During the celebrations, alumni participated in 158 events from traditional Toasts to IAP in January to a June dedication ceremony and hike at Virginia's tallest peak, Mount Rogers, named for MIT's founder. Turner, whose year-long term officially beings July 1, said he would focus on issues of governance and alumni engagement in propagating the MIT's message.

BY Gianna Addario
Staff Writer
---- — LYNN — The Ipswich girls basketball team experienced first hand how to close out a basketball game. Unfortunately for the Tigers, they watched as St. Mary's put up nine unanswered points down the stretch to win last night's Spartan Classic Division 3 championship contest.
The host Spartans trailed by five with just under three minutes to play in the final quarter, but pulled off a late push to edge Ipswich, 59-53.
"We didn't do a good job closing out the game," said Ipswich head coach Mandy Carter-Zegarowski. "I don't think it was because we were tired, I just think we made poor decisions. We didn't take care of the ball and took some poor shots in the end that led to some fastbreak points for them. Credit to them to come back and hang on in a game that they were behind for most of the time."
St. Mary's senior Brianna Rudolph went to the line and hit both foul shots to cut the deficit to three. Ipswich turned the ball over and on the next possession freshman Kayla Carter, a Beverly resident, drove hard to the basket, scored and went to the free throw line. The foul shot tied the game at 50-50.
The Spartans (16-3) went on to dominate the closing minutes and hit five of their six free throws to ice the game.
"I don't think there was any real strategy or science to it, I just think we found a way to win" explained St. Mary's head coach Jeff Newhall. "This was probably our best win and we willed ourselves to it. Down the stretch we were just a step quicker to the ball and a step quicker in transition."
Ipswich (16-3) trailed by four after the first quarter, but led 24-20 at halftime. The Tigers maintained the lead for 17 minutes just up until St. Mary's went on the 9-0 run in the fourth quarter.
Leading by as many as six midway through the fourth quarter, the Tigers appeared to have the game locked up. Their shots were falling early on and they made stops on defense, but the final three minutes cost them the game.
"St. Mary's is a good team," said Zegarowski. "We felt good that we were in the game and we knew it was going to be close like this. Things just didn't fall for us. It's a chance for us to see what we need to do to get ready for the state tournament."
Sophomore point guard Masey Zegarowski had an outstanding shooting night to finish with a game-high 26 points, including three treys. Zegarowski was selected to the all-tournament team and was recently named Cape Ann League Small Player of the Year.
"Zegarowski is a tremendous player," said Newhall. "Anyone who can go to hoop with her left and right the way she does and be able to shoot from the range she can, it's basically pick your poison. If you play her high, she's going to the hoop and if you play off of her she's going to hit NBA threes."
Other than Zegarowski's double figures, the Tigers were limited offensively. Senior captains Julia Davis (14 rebounds) and Brigid O'Flynn combined for 17 points, while Jenna Gagnon and Caroline Soucy each finished with five points.
Ipswich closes out its regular season on Thursday against a strong Arlington Catholic team.

Recipe by NERDYCHEESECAKE
"This recipe came from my grandmother, who used peas in her version instead of pickles. My mother changed the recipe and I have altered it even more. The flavors of these ingredients blended together in what is reminiscent of a cold macaroni or potato salad will be your family's new favorite!"
Watch video tips and tricks
8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
2 dill pickles, chopped
6 ounces Colby-Jack cheese, cubed
1 (6 ounce) can albacore tuna in water, drained and flaked
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
1 teaspoon dill pickle juice
My wife made this recipe for me, and I thought I would hate tuna and pickles together, but this is really good. I even eat the leftovers for breakfast. Use big pickles, like Claussen pickles, or else there won't be enough (if you use small dills). Pretty much add everything to taste - we put in a whole 8 oz block of cheese! This was great for the kids, too. Just serve some tomatoes and fruit on the side.
I added a little fresh ground pepper and a dash of Frank's Hot Sauce. My husband took half of this to work with him for lunch and my kids ate the rest. One kid like it, one didn't and my husband was indifferent. Basic tuna pasta salad that was easy to prepare but not a home run for this family. It's a nice base recipe.
28 Ratings
This was delicious!!! I served it as a side dish, but I think it could stand alone for lunch. The only change I made was to use 8 oz. shredded sharp cheddar cheese instead of the cubes, because that's what I had on hand. I think there was a little too much cheese, I would cut back on that next time.
This was really good. I haven't made Tuna Mac Salad in awhile. I used ranch salad dressing instead of mayo (it's what I had more of)...and I doubled the recipe, I also added onions and used a deli mustard. Really loved the pickle and cheese part of the recipe! Plan on making this lots this summer, Thanks!
This was fast and easy to make. Omitted the cheese but I did add some peas,paprika,celery salt,pepper and onion powder.It taste great!
This is very good! All my kids favorite ingredients combined into one dish. I used bowtie pasta instead of elbow macaroni. I also used dill pickles and pickle juice from the dill pickles recipe by sharon howard on this site. I will be making this again! Thanks!
I will not make this recipe again. It has potential, but definitely lacks something. Additionally, it was very dry, even with extra mayo.
This is exactly what I was looking for! I made it using fat free mayo, whole wheat pasta, and garlic dill pickles. I think next time I will add some onion and celery.

Ask Ananda's Experts
Questions and answers about meditation, yoga, the spiritual life, and more
Questions and Answers
February 24
Hi, I always find it hard to progress with friendships beyond the first initial contact. How do you earn people's respect, friendship, and caring attitude? How do you learn which people are worth your time and which are using you? Or which are jealous of you. I am considered an attractive female and extremely sensitive and shy. This combination always makes it hard for me to open up discussions or immerse myself in conversations where people don't ask me questions or I am asking all the questions etc.
Dear one,
Our dear Swami Kriyananda, aka J. Donald Walters, wrote a wonderful little booklet called Secrets of Friendship.
My suggestions here are based on those "Secrets".
First of all you must be a friend. You can do this by demanding nothing from others but instead showing appreciation. Don't worry about getting friends to listen to you, actively listen to them. Take action when a friend needs help.

Dear Nayaswami Hriman, I've recently started dating a man, who as it turns out, is an atheist. We're still getting to know each other, but I feel like this bit of info has thrown me off. It's not that I feel superior because of my meditation practice (which he says he'd like to learn) but I feel like I am constantly looking for flaws in him now. Like a bad temper, unkindness, horns(!!) I am praying for help and guidance, but feel like something's "stuck" in my heart! What should I do? :(
Dear Friend,
As Paramhansa Yogananda (and many others) have said, "Your beliefs won't save you." This is as true for religionists as for atheists! Or as Ralph Waldo Emerson once put it, "Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear your words."
How often do we see orthodox believers who believe all the "right" things but who treat others unkindly or with judgment?
February 24
I was wondering how to interpret the words from Jesus, "I am the way, the truth, and the light. No one comes to the Father but by me."
What most Christians think is that this means Jesus is the only possible way to achieve salvation and all other masters are incapable and false. How to understand better and explain to them the yogic perspective?
Dear Milton, Paramhansa Yogananda explains carefully that Jesus spoke in two ways at different times, as a human being and as the Son of God. When speaking as a human, he said things like: "Bring me the fish you just caught." [John 21:12] That "me" was Jesus speaking as a human being, for certainly he needed a human body and personality to work through.
February 18
I struggle to know what is more required of me in my situation of living in my grandmothers home, and being at the mercy of a financially struggling family. I want to make sure that I implement my responsibility as a contributor through monetary support, but I also feel that God realization is most important, yet seemingly luxurious.
What are your thoughts on this?
Dear Bakari,
Sometimes life circumstances are hard for us as they provoke a reaction, karmic in nature. Circumstances are neutral, Yogananda said. Our reaction to them is due to memories in our energy fields that we associate with who we define ourselves as. Surely you are a family member and want to contribute. And God-realization is not a luxury, it is your right and a joy! Yes, you can have both today and in these times. You do not have to become a renunciate/monk in the traditional way to find the keys to your happiness, your joy, your bliss. So, learn to detach yourself from these circumstances by playing the part and seeing God playing the grandson through you and honor the karmic connections among your family.

Geo Grant
How can one recover from making the mistake of associating with a very negative, threatening person? I was on vacation in Hawaii staying in a hostel and came across an ex Special Forces, very negative, angry man who out of kindness I gave a ride to the beach.
Later that day, he started drinking, and sneaked up behind me, grabbed me and proceeded to demonstrate how to kill someone using various techniques. The next day the man apologized, but for me I feel some damage was done. How to recover?
Dear Geo,
Sudden and frightening experiences can often leave us unsettled. Sometimes such an experience "stays with us" well after it is over. You may want to try the following technique:
Stand quietly with eyes closed. After a few moments, keeping your eyes closed, slowly raise your arms. As you do so, visualize a sphere of light surrounding your body. You may want to lower and then raise your arms several times to "strengthen" the aura of light in which you are now safe, centered, and protected. Imagine that wherever you go, whatever you do, you are protected in God's light.
February 18
Hi there,
When I fall in love with someone (It's a new feeling for me. My last relationship was 6 years ago, and this is only a few months old.) I have noticed I want to be around that person all the time, and I imagine my future with this person. How do I meditate to help me see my path of life I have chosen is right and true?
Dear friend,
It's interesting that you phrase your new relationship as "Falling in love." In a new relationship of any kind I would suggest you use this phrase instead, "Getting to know you." Whether it's simple friendship or a romantic relationship, it's best to take the time to get to know the other person first in a number of different ways, rather than assuming that something more is going on. I would assume an attitude of friendship as a basis, then try to have various kinds of interactions with that person such as working with them, enjoying entertainment, etc. Sexual energy can very much distort what is most important in a relationship, so it's best to get through the initial energies of finally finding someone who may be "the one." Take the time to see which direction this new connection is going in. Do you really like them as a person and is there good compatibility "chemistry" between you? Are you moving in the same direction spiritually? Do they meditate? How do you each feel about family life, social life, and spending time apart? Will you enjoy spending time with their family (because you most likely will!)?

Shainee Chakraborty
Dear Sir/Madam,
Please accept my Pranam! I saw a dream on Friday night that my mother was in the hospital, and two days later I found out that she has had fever since Friday night. I am married and live with my husband in a different city.
Is it just a coincidence? This had happened once before also. Though it was not about illness but it was a different dream and it came true. Please show me the path.
Thank you so much and I am glad to find your website.
Pranam to you also, Shainee,
We are also glad you found our website. Welcome!
Our nightly dreams are often very interesting and sometimes can be important to pay attention to. Paramhansa Yogananda says that most of our nightly dreams are simply "movies" produced by our subconscious minds and and meant only to entertain us while we rest.

A Singh
Hi Ananda Members!
By God's grace I get to know the real intentions/feelings of people around me, no matter how hard they try to hide from me or others. And it so happens that time also reveals those things sooner or later. Now my problem is I am always silent and just watch everything instead of speaking out and I do suppress my feelings and anger which causes trouble to me in many ways. Please suggest how can I best handle such revelations and still maintain my calm. Thank you.
Dear A Singh,
Yogananda often said that we are here to learn to love. We are not here to correct the behavior of others. As we deepen spiritually we can often more clearly see the faults and selfish motivations of those around us. Our challenge is to learn to give them our unconditional, non-judgmental love regardless of their behavior.

Adjusted it to place –
Then carved his name – upon it –
And bade it to the East
~emily dickinson
mine is not a unique story in its over-arching theme--finding out who i am, who it is that God had in mind when he made me—that quintessential search for identity. we are all grappling with these types of questions, are we not? The difference in my story and yours is in the details.
for reasons better left unstated here and some of which i don't even know, i am only in the last 9 years coming to a sense of my own personhood, my own sense of being. do you know what I'm saying? first, that most basic sense that i exist, and second, that it's okay-- and not just okay, but profoundly good-- that i exist.
being and well-being.
these past years have been full of this struggle, this coming to be, this slow and painful and continuous unfolding. learning to lift my face up to Jesus to feel the light of his face upon me, learning to hold my space, learning to use my individual voice, learning to believe that what i have to offer this world is beautiful, learning to stand upright to face the pain of life, learning to be the mother of two beautiful boys while still being my own self, learning to live in freedom and hope, learning to be alive in the deepest sense.
so much of this has been played out against the backdrop of my beloved spiritual community here in clemson where i've lived for the past 6 ½ years. i harbor no illusion that the struggle is behind me, but i do have the sense that the bulk of it is behind me. Jesus has called me into being, and here i am. here i am. and now i am leaving this cocoon of sorts. i feel the invitation to fly.
i am a great fan of commemorating those things worth commemorating, and this exact point in my life—just turning 35, moving away from this place and all that it's held for me, and moving into a brand new season—well, this seems like one of those times, don't you think?
i love images, too. so much meaning, so many layers, so many unspoken words packed into one simple picture.
well, you know what i'm getting at, right? my new tattoo. it's on my foot (which has a personal significance all its own). it's a butterfly in profile, beautiful to me in its bold simplicity. the outline is colored in with red, a brave and passionate color.
i look down at it, and i remember. i remember it all.

Mark McNairy and Pharrell.

Pharrell and Mark McNairy's individual clothing lines are awesome enough on their own, but when these two team up?! You can BET they're going to blow it right out of the ballpark. After all, the design duo has done it in the past with their collaborative Bee Line brand of graphic tees, striped button-ups, and varsity jackets. But now P. and McNairy's worlds of streetwear and menswear are colliding yet again for a slick new collection of BBC goods...and this time, they're going dark. The producer, singer, designer and all-around multi-hyphenate has recruited the McNasty maestro for BBC Black, a capsule of monochromatic pieces that are anything but basic. Melding military fabrics with slouchy-yet-tailored cuts, the line's entirely black colorway means that the focus stays on the clothing's streetwear silhouette, while still keeping things clean and crisp. Get more details on the line from Pharrell and McNairy below!

A new sewer system for Greenville and a small state-of-the-art cogeneration plant were just two items discussed by Indian Valley Community Services District directors Wednesday, Feb. 13.
Director Brad Smith, who is on the ad hoc committee for the cogen plant, said it is time to look for investors.
While directors have made no concrete plans to develop the biomass site, they did approve the concept last year and agreed last month to work on seeking investors with Tad Mason of TSS Consultants.
Smith and Mike Yost, directors on the committee, are working with Mason to develop a request for information.
This will be their first step in seeking an investor, or a developer with the means to construct and manage the project in exchange for most of the profits.
"None of us know how this will work," Smith said. "All we know at this point is that there are deadlines … this is just something that will get the ball rolling and we don't have to commit to anything."
Chairman Brad Shelters said he was concerned that voting approval for seeking investors would commit them to having the plant.
Director Jane Braxton Little stressed that directors would never have a plant built if there wasn't full support from the community.
Delbert Lehr attended the meeting and voiced both his concerns and interest in the project.
Lehr owns one of the properties identified as a possible location and has had experience running two molding plants in the area.
He was concerned that the study has been funded with public money and it appears to him that allowing solicitation of investors would give some people the inside track.
"In my mind, all the people should have the chance to come in and do better for you," he said.
"I'd like to see someone here have a plant, maybe even on my property," Lehr said.
Directors will meet to review the request for information, and Little expressed her hope that Lehr would attend that meeting as well.
Little stressed there would be community meetings called before any concrete decisions about building the plant were made.
Greenville sewer
"It's been a long time coming, I never thought we'd see this day," said David Keller, of the Plumas County Community Development Commission.
He was speaking about the receipt of the state grant for a sewer engineering study.
The study will make it possible for directors to position themselves for construction funding.
The county will administer the study grant on behalf of the district.
So now the district is ready to move forward with the project in coordination with the county, Caltrans and Pacific Gas and Electric Co. for the planned streetscape improvements in 2015, Keller said.
Next steps include a request for qualifications in order to solicit engineering firms that might be interested in the project, which Keller will do via a professional clearinghouse for wide exposure.
When bids are received, the district will need a selection committee. Keller suggested that Jesse Lawson and Robert Perreault from the county be involved with the committee.
Keller said he would like the process to move forward as quickly as possible, because meeting the 2015 deadline is going to be a problem.
"We might have to figure out a strategy to complete part of the project in order to meet that deadline," he added.
Keller said he wants Lawson to attend an upcoming grant workshop where he can sit down at tables with people from agencies that fund these types of projects.
He said he will come back to the board at a later date with information about funding.
The current grant is $7,000 with $3,200 pitched in as a match from the district.
If all goes according to plan, the district should be in a position to go out for construction funding by April.
"Stay tuned," he said as a parting remark.
Barring special meetings, directors of the Indian Valley Community Services District meet the second Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m., in the Indian Valley Professional Building on Highway 89, next to Plumas Bank.

If the Corporate meetings world had a "phrase of the year," the honor in 2005 would have to go to "strategic meeting management program," or SMMP. The concept — which in brief connotes a coordinated, centralized approach to vendor sourcing, data tracking, and reporting — was embraced by Meeting Professionals International, whose Global Corporate Circle of Excellence put out a record four white papers on the topic in 2005, the most recent of which was published in November.
GCCOE, a brain trust of 13 corporate meeting professionals co-chaired by Maggie Boyce, CMM, manager of corporate meeting services with Kaiser Permanente, and Luca Favetta, global event director at SAP, met in New York in October to develop the recent paper, called "Defining a Strategic Meetings Management Program: How Meetings Drive Business in Partnership-Focused Companies." Recognizing that in a changing business environment, "powerful partnerships — with both internal and external constituents — are integral to an organization's strategic success," the 11-page paper looks at core competencies needed by managers who succeed in a "Partnership Model," rather than a more "traditional, linear business model." The authors then discuss what an SMMP looks like when partnering successfully with internal stakeholders and external stakeholders, and how planners can position themselves more strategically. An appendix to the report updates the GCCOE's comprehensive outline of the key elements of an SMMP.
All four GCCOE white papers, plus the SMMP outline and other management tools, like sample budgets and templates, are at www.gccoe.mpiweb.org.
