American Chemistry Council, Ohio Chemistry Technology Council event highlights investments in the growing energy-from-waste industry.
The American Chemistry Council (ACC), Washington, D.C., and the Ohio Chemistry Technology Council (OCTC), Columbus, Ohio, co-hosted a policy forum Sept. 20, 2012, which brought together state officials and business leaders to highlight the growth in recycling as well as innovations and investments in energy recovery in Ohio. The forum was held at Rumpke's material recovery facility in Columbus, Ohio.
Jack Pounds, president of the Ohio Chemistry Technology Council told attendees that Ohio is a world leader in plastics manufacturing and technologies, but the amount of plastics that are going to make their way into the landfill—90 percent by some estimates—is unacceptable.
"We consider that as an industry as a failure on many fronts," Pounds said. "It means we have to consign to landfill materials that could have value if recycled. It means we are losing a large potential for energy recovery from the materials that can't be recycled and end up in landfills, and it means we burden Ohio taxpayers with the cost of landfill structure, maintenance and other costs associated with that."
Russell Cooper, vice president of business development for Vadxx Energy, Akron, Ohio, told attendees, "The polymer is all around us, we just have to think about the public policy and good business ideas to bring it to these energy developing facilities."
Click the video screen to watch a video from the event.
Cooper was part of a panel of representatives from Ohio companies that have invested in new technologies that transform waste into energy which also included Vexor Technology, Medina, Ohio, and RES Polyflow, Akron.
RES Polyflow has been able to take advantage of state programs to help move its technology forward. "With the help of the Ohio Third Frontier, RES Polyflow is building our first production processor that will be demonstrating at 5,000 pounds per hour a solution to this polymer opportunity we are blessed with," said Jay Shabel, CEO, RES Polyflow.
One of the issues Shabel brought up is the need for RES Polyflow's transportation fuel—which he estimates will be produced at a rate of 3 million gallons of per year—to be classified as a renewable fuel source by the state.
In addition, Terrie TerMeer from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and Dale Arnold from the Ohio Farm Bureau noted that energy recovered from waste is an abundant, local source of alternative energy that can help power homes, businesses and transportation, while jumpstarting local economies.
The forum included a discussion of recommendations to help state regulators and legislators develop programs and enact policies to promote energy recovery in Ohio.
"Ohio's energy entrepreneurs are on the cutting edge of investments in energy recovery, and their story of innovation and homegrown energy should be retold in communities all across the country," said Cal Dooley, president and CEO of the ACC. "Energy recovery in the United States holds the potential to power homes and businesses and can help address our growing population's challenges of energy independence and waste diversion."
"Today's event showcased innovators in our state like Vexor Technology, Vadxx Energy and RES Polyflow who are helping to drive job growth and sustainable energy production in communities like Columbus, Medina and Akron," said Jack Pounds, OCTC president. "Ohio's success in generating energy from waste is possible by companies investing in these new technologies, which are already reducing waste that would otherwise be sent to landfills, as well as forward-thinking policymakers and supportive local governments in Ohio."
The forum is a part of ACC's campaign titled, "From Chemistry to Energy."

The Feminist Test
Their result for The Feminist Test ...
The Basic Feminist
You are 80% on your way to being a Feminist!
You have a good idea of what sexism is, how to avoid it, and how to stand up for women and/or yourself. You might have read some basic Feminist literature or thought in passing, and thought that it was pretty good. Sometimes you baulk a little at overtly identifying yourself as a Feminist due to the negative stigma. Don't be ashamed of being right! Just keep on doing what you're doing and exploring more ways to treat everyone with respect because of their humanity, not their parts, and you're helping to fix the problem!

Enter The Land of DragorThe Dragor series will sweep you away to a world of untold legends; a place of magic, love, friendship and adventure, where dreams become reality and fantasy knows no bounds...
Introducing The Dragor SeriesIn the Land of Dragor, amongst the smoking mud pools and around The Fire Which Must Never Go Out, live seven dragon clans hidden from man.
The Gift of Charms is the first in the Dragor Series.
Order book 1 'The Gift of Charms'Yoshiko is different; different to the point he feels existence is really quite pointless. Last to breathe fire, clumsy and with strange colourings he acquires a hoard of tormentors. Life seems so much more difficult for him: trying to fit in, trying to hide a secret about himself.
But all that is about to change when he meets Guya, an elder and a recluse who knows things that no-one else in Dragor does and about places and people Yoshiko never dreamed existed. A courageous mission exists if Yoshiko can pass the trials that Guya sets – tasks that will require wisdom, fitness and the up-most bravery!
The Gift of Charms is first in an epic fantasy adventure series. The Land of Dragor is a place of magic and mystery, bursting with adventure, quests and many secrets untold…

The Land of Dragor ClanWe have a great clan who make everything happen in the Land of Dragor
Julia Suzuki
Email: email@example.com
Julia was always told she lived in a dream world, so she decided to prove everyone right. All she ever wants to do is make magic and bring smiles; wherever she goes there always seems to be a trail of sparkles. What clan is she? She can never decide – a chameleon herself so probably all of them. She loves to write (of course) and to dance as it makes her feel as though she can fly.
Press And Events Manager
Vikki Patis
Email: email@example.com has interviewed many of the world's best authors including George RR Martin.
We think she has a secret magic wand that she waves over her words, because she always seems to manage to make people say 'yes' (which we love of course).
AKA 'Wonder Woman' here at the office, as she can zoom through to-do lists like there is no tomorrow!
Vikki also enjoys making cakes, drinking tea, and fussing over her two cats.
Photography Virtuoso
John Farrar
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com is one of the world's greatest photographers with a unique edge and glamour to his work. He has travelled the world photographing the most beautiful people and places.
His superior technique and composition cultivates images beyond amazement.
Dragor is proud to have John Farrar as brand guardian of all photography.
Arlene Barclay
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Barclay of House of Halos is one of this decades greatest fashion creatives; her work is magical and all things Dragoresque – combining leading edge design with the fantastical and the forge of power.
All Dragors jewellery and accessories are designed by her and handmade in her workshop in Scotland – she sells throughout the world to leading celebrities.
Touching Lives
'A fantasy series that engages you like Tolkein and JK, Dragor is a NEW unique world unlike any other. The plot and characters leave you always wanting more' – Phil Dampier, Royal Commentator and Sunday Express Journalist
'The Land of Dragor' adventure series holds truths – within many of the adventures – about our lives. Book one in the series is called 'The Gift of Charms' and is set in a mythical magical place and reviewed widely by the National British media.
'A beautifully presented wonderfully unique debut' – The Sun.
Dragor is a place where challenges exist just as they do throughout the world and through the adventures and quests faith, drive and belief is restored that we can overcome anything that stands in our way.
'The Dragor Series is a story that everyone with big dreams absolutely must read' - David Lloyd, Entrepreneur and Leisure Chain Founder

The school is located in the heart of Malvern in Worcestershire, only two hours from London and one hour from Birmingham the school has excellent transport links, with Great Malvern station situated just opposite the main school building. The MSJ bus service covers five counties to pick up and return girls each day.
Aspiration and achievement lie at the heart of the School and each pupil is treated as an individual. Our aim is to promote excellence and innovation in teaching and learning throughout the school. Our commitment is to provide each girl with the challenges and support offered by a bespoke education which will allow her to develop her academic abilities to the full.

The Basics of Bariatric Surgery
The Normal Digestive Process
Normally, as food moves along the digestive tract, digestive juices and enzymes digest and absorb calories and nutrients (see figure 1). After we chew and swallow our food, it moves down the esophagus to the stomach, where a strong acid continues the digestive process. The stomach can hold about 3 pints of food at one time. When the stomach contents move to the duodenum, the first segment of the small intestine, bile and pancreatic juice speed up digestion. Most of the iron and calcium in the foods we eat is absorbed in the duodenum. The jejunum and ileum, the remaining two segments of the nearly 20 feet of small intestine, complete the absorption of almost all calories and nutrients. The food particles that cannot be digested in the small intestine are stored in the large intestine until eliminated.
How Exactly Does Weight Loss Surgery Promote Weight Loss?
Gastrointestinal surgery for obesity, also called bariatric (or weight loss) surgery, alters the digestive process. The operations can be divided into three types: restrictive, malabsorptive, and combined restrictive/malabsorptive. Restrictive operations limit food intake by creating a narrow passage from the upper part of the stomach into the larger lower part, reducing the amount of food the stomach can hold and slowing the passage of food through the stomach. Malabsorptive operations do not limit food intake, but instead exclude most of the small intestine from the digestive tract so fewer calories and nutrients are absorbed. Malabsorptive operations, also called intestinal bypasses, are no longer recommended because they result in severe nutritional deficiencies. Combined operations use stomach restriction and a partial bypass of the small intestine.<
What Are the Surgical Options?
There are several types of restrictive and combined operations. Each form of weight loss surgery has its own benefits and risks.
Restrictive Operations
Purely restrictive operations only limit food intake and do not interfere with the normal digestive process. To perform the operation, doctors create a small pouch at the top of the stomach where food enters from the esophagus. At first, the pouch holds about 1 ounce of food and later may stretch to 2-3 ounces. The lower outlet of the pouch is usually about inch in diameter or smaller. This small outlet delays the emptying of food from the pouch into the larger part of the stomach and causes a feeling of fullness.
After the operation, patients can no longer eat large amounts of food at one time. Most patients can eat about to 1 cup of food without discomfort or nausea, but the food has to be soft, moist, and well chewed. Patients who undergo restrictive procedures generally are not able to eat as much as those who have combined operations.
Purely restrictive operations for obesity include adjustable gastric banding (AGB) and vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG).

There are many things to be said about the American holiday of Thanksgiving. While much of the "legend" of the holiday is probably propaganda (Were the Pilgrims and Indians as close as we'd like them to be?

HireCentrix News Updates
The U.S. government's increasing use of cloud computing services could lead to new data security risks, with agencies compelled to put their trust in vendors' security efforts, several lawmakers and a government IT expert said Thursday.
Cloud computing will likely give the U.S. government several benefits, including significantly lower IT costs, but agencies are moving their data to the cloud before the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and supporting agencies have developed a governmentwide security strategy, said Gregory Wilshusen, director of information security issues at the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO).
"The use of cloud computing can also create numerous information security risks," Wilshusen told the U.S. House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee. "These risks generally relate to dependence on the security assurances and practices of a service provider and the sharing of computing resources."
IT executives at 22 of 24 major U.S. agencies surveyed by GAO raised concerns about cloud computing security, even as officials in President Barack Obama's administration push cloud computing, Wilshusen said. A GAO report released Thursday listed several security concerns: vendors using ineffective security practices, agencies not able to examine the security controls of vendors, cybercriminals targeting data-rich clouds, and agencies losing access to their data if the relationship with a vendor ends.

Syracuse junior forward C.J. Fair to return for senior season
Apr 24, 2013, 4:21 PM EST
Having already lost starting point guard Michael Carter-Williams (leaving school for the NBA Draft), shooting guard Brandon Triche and small forward James Southerland (both out of eligibility), the Syracuse Orange were anxious to hear the plans of junior forward C.J. Fair.
After averaging 14.5 points and 6.9 rebounds per game for the Orange this season, there was the feeling in some circles that the Baltimore native would forego his final year of eligibility.
But in a press release Fair announced his intention to return for his senior campaign, which will also be Syracuse's inaugural season in the ACC.
(CLICK HERE to follow along with who is turning pro and who is returning to school.)
"After talking it over with my family and my coaches, I decided another year at Syracuse was best for me," Fair said in the release. "I'm excited about working hard with my teammates to put together another great season and graduating has also been a goal of mine."
Had Fair decided to leave school early head coach Jim Boeheim would have to go about replacing four starters from a team that reached the Final Four in 2012-13.
"This is great news for our basketball program and for C.J.," said Boeheim. "I believe he's just going to keep getting better and better as a basketball player and earning his degree is important."
Fair's return gives the Orange not only an experienced leader to help shepherd the likes of freshmen Tyler Ennis (who will likely be the starting point guard), Ron Patterson and Tyler Roberson, but also a player who should factor into the preseason ACC Player of the Year conversation.
And with an eye towards the professional ranks there are still areas in which Fair needs to improve, as Mike Waters of the Syracuse Post-Standard noted that NBA scouts would like to see Fair "become less dependent on his left hand when driving to the basket and increase the speed of the release on his jump shot."
Raphielle also writes for the NBE Basketball Report and can be followed on Twitter at @raphiellej.

Ovarian Cancer Health Center
Stage III and Stage IV Ovarian Epithelial Cancer Treatment
The use of IP cisplatin as part of the initial up-front approach in patients with stage III optimally debulked ovarian cancer is supported principally by the results of three randomized clinical trials (SWOG-8501, GOG-0114, and GOG-0172).[7,8,9] These studies tested the role of IP drugs (IP cisplatin in all three studies and IP paclitaxel in the last study) against the standard IV regimen. In the three studies, superior progression-free survival (PFS) and OS favoring the IP arm was documented. Specifically, the most recent study, GOG-0172, resulted in a median survival rate of 66 months for patients on the IP arm versus 50 months for patients who received IV administration of cisplatin and paclitaxel (P = .03).[9][Level of evidence:1iiA] Toxic effects were greater in the IP arm, contributed to in large part by the cisplatin dose per cycle (100 mg/m2) and by sensory neuropathy from the additional IP as well as from the IV administration of paclitaxel. The rate of completion of six cycles of treatment was also less frequent in the IP arm (42% vs. 83%) because of the toxic effects and catheter-related problems.[10]
Notwithstanding these problems, IP therapy for patients with optimally debulked ovarian cancer is receiving wider adoption, and efforts are under way by the GOG to examine some modifications of the IP regimen used in GOG-0172 to improve its tolerability (e.g., to reduce by ≥25% the total 3-hour amount of cisplatin given; a shift from the less practical 24-hour IV administration of paclitaxel to a 3-hour IV administration). A Cochrane-sponsored meta-analysis of all randomized IP versus IV trials shows an HR of 0.79 for disease-free survival and 0.79 for OS, favoring the IP arms.[11] In another meta-analysis of seven IP versus IV randomized trials that were conducted by Cancer Care of Ontario, the relative ratio (RR) of progression at 5 years based on the three trials that reported this endpoint was 0.91 (95% CI, 0.85–0.98) and the RR of death at 5 years based on six trials was 0.88 (95% CI, 0.81–0.95).[10]

Casey Anthony ordered to come out of hiding
A federal judge has ordered Casey Anthony to come out of hiding.
Anthony is required to be in a Tampa courtroom Monday afternoon for a bankruptcy hearing.
On Tuesday, a judge also rejected requests to move her civil cases to Orlando.
Attorneys for Zenaida Gonzalez and former meter reader Roy Kronk are both suing Anthony and asked for the move.
Anthony's bankruptcy filing effectively blocks the two lawsuits from moving forward.
The case is unrelated to her 2011 acquittal of murder charges in connection with the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee.

Feastday: December 1
Birth: 1540
Death: 1581
Beatified By: 9 December 1886, Rome by Pope Leo XIII
Canonized By: 25 October 1970, Rome by Pope Paul VI
When in 1566 England�s Queen Elizabeth I visited Oxford University, she was very impressed by a twenty six-year-old Protestant scholar chosen to greet her with a salutary speech, Edmund Campion. But soon, the study of the Church Fathers� works would lead the young man to begin questioning his Protestant beliefs. Journeying to Douai, France in 1572, Edmund converted to the Catholic faith and began studying for the priesthood. A year later he entered the Jesuit Order in Rome. As a novice, he experienced in a garden a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary foretelling his martyrdom in England. In 1580, three years after his ordination, Father Campion returned to England. He preached one to three times a day, mentally preparing his homilies while traveling on horseback across the English countryside, winning many converts. In July of 1581, Father Campion was captured by the Elizabethan authorities. He suffered torture on a rack before being sentenced to death in November. On December 1, 1581, he was executed by drawing and quartering at Tyburn, London.

Cops Corner: Sarasota
Date: September 12, 2013
by: Observer Staff
Sept. 6
7:37 p.m. 2100 block of North Washington Boulevard. Petit Theft — Shoplifting. An employee at a store believed a woman might have stolen items because her purse looked bulky. The employee checked video surveillance and saw the woman had put a container of cleaning product in her purse. She walked to the front of the store and asked the employee a question about that cleaning product before leaving. Another viewing of the security tape showed she also took a sports drink. When confronted, the woman said she had bought the cleaning product at a different store, but admitted to the theft when shown the video.
8:00 a.m. 1800 block of Hibiscus Street. Criminal Mischief. A woman found that the landscape lights in front of her house had been damaged overnight. The bulb had been ripped out; the wires were broken; and the cover to the landscape light transformer had been pulled open. The light system no longer worked.
Sept. 7
10:17 a.m. 1900 block of Dr. Martin Luther King Junior Way. Other Disorderly Conduct. A woman working at a store said a man came into the business and started causing a disturbance. The woman said the man took a pad of dry cleaner tags before leaving the store. She did not want to press charges, but did want the pad back. The man denied taking the items, and officers could not locate the pad.
Sept. 8
1:38 a.m. 4600 block of North Tamiami Trail. Theft. Two men paid for several orders among a group of eight people before the group left a bar. Two drink orders were not paid for, so an employee of the bar confronted one of the men while he was getting into a vehicle. Before driving away, the man told the employee he paid for his and his girlfriend's drinks and wasn't responsible for anyone else.
9:00 a.m. 300 block of Madison Drive. Suspicion General. A woman finished her shift at work and found that someone had been inside her car. She could not remember if she had locked the vehicle. The sunshade in the windshield had been put up and the passenger seat had been reclined, as if someone had been taking a nap. Nothing from the car was taken. The woman called her mother to ask if she were playing a joke on her, but her mother did not answer the phone.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Hikers vie in lottery to visit The Wave, stunning rock formation in Arizona near Utah border
VERMILION CLIFFS NATIONAL MONUMENT, Ariz. - Small wooden balls click rapidly in a whirling bingo basket, as 78 hikers wait to see if their numbers will roll out to win one of 10 permits to visit a rock formation known as The Wave.
Some had been contemplating the hike for years. Only 20 people are allowed to visit The Wave each day, with 10 chosen in an online lottery four months in advance and the other 10 picked in this daily 9 a.m. lottery. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management limits access to protect The Wave's delicate red sandstone formation and to prevent overcrowding at the designated wilderness site.
"Fortunately or unfortunately, The Wave has kind of caught on as a fun hike," Kathy Spellman, a visitor information assistant with the BLM, explained to the room of hopeful hikers in May, where cheers went up as the numbers were announced.
"The hike out is very nice," she said. "It's 6 miles (9.6 kilometres) round-trip, so it's not too long, not too short. You can go in there and it's not a marked trail. The trees don't have names on them. There are not little rocks along the edges of the trail, so you can feel like you're in the middle of nowhere."
The Wave's dramatically flowing contours in bright orange, red, pink and yellow, are a prized image among landscape photographers, who can be seen lugging tripods across the desert wilderness. The fiery swirls have been emblazoned on postcards, posters, maps and computer screensavers.
"It's just become such a ubiquitous, iconic photo," said Kevin Wright, monument manager of Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, where The Wave is located in the Arizona backcountry near the Utah border. Among "people that love the outdoors and have these bucket lists, I think it's become something to check off their list." About a third of visitors are from other countries, particularly Germany, with an upswing from Japan and China in recent years, according to Wright.
Last year, 48,264 people applied to visit The Wave, said Spellman, who works at the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Visitor Center in Kanab, Utah, where the drawing is held for hikes that take place the next day. That's compared to 7,300 permits awarded in a year, based on the 20 allowed each day. To reach The Wave, lottery winners drive the 46 miles (74 kilometres) from the drawing site in Kanab to the trailhead.
The colorful, contoured landscape at Vermilion Cliffs is more than just something to marvel at; it's how you find The Wave. Permits come with a map and directions that include compass points. The map also has 12 photographs of key navigational points with dotted lines showing the way with sandstone ridges and other stony landmarks. Six photos capture main points on the way; six illustrate the way back. Each photo also has written directions to help get from an area shown in one photo to the next.
Hikers are warned about sun and heat. At least a gallon of water per person is recommended, as well as salty snacks and sunscreen. If you're not handy with a compass, the photographs alone may not be enough to navigate the unmarked way. Some get lost, either on the way or when trying to return. The area is remote, so losing your way can lead to an unexpected night on the rocks. One photographer who stayed to take a picture of The Wave at sunset got lost in the dark and died after falling into a slot canyon.
Guides can be hired to provide a ride in a four-wheel drive vehicle across the 8 miles (13 kilometres) of dirt road that leads to the start of the hike. First-timers can also hire guides to accompany them on the trail to make sure they won't get lost. The BLM has a list of registered guides who don't need an additional permit to accompany permitted hikers.
An early start is a good way to get ahead of the heat. A dirt footpath leads to a washed out stream for the first half-mile (nearly 1 kilometre) of the trip. Soon, the landscape opens up into a vast area of reddish rock, dotted with green sage bushes. About two-thirds of the trip is in Utah before hikers cross over the Arizona border.
Sandstone buttes and huge mesas surround the area throughout the richly colored geological upheaval. The work of powerful tectonic force through the ages is on full display. Panoramas full of jagged red rock project out of the sand. Beyond them, towering hills of rosy stone loom in the backdrop. Some may find the scenery along the way as stunning as the destination.
Small, swiftly moving lizards put on vigorous territorial push-up displays, urging hikers to move along, but that's about the only thing that disturbs the serenity except for the occasional small group of hikers. Once you are there, it's easy to appreciate the 20-hiker daily limit.
After about two hours of walking, a black crack in a ridge that serves as a landmark becomes visible. The Wave is just below it. The steepest incline of the hike takes place right at the base of The Wave. You have to climb up into it. Once you reach the top of the incline, it's a short walk.
Suddenly, you're standing in a tall bowl of long thin lines, stained in searing oranges, yellows and reds. It conveys a sense of the dynamic movement of wind and water that has been long at work on the stone from the Jurassic period. Part of the thrill of visiting is wandering around to drink in various angles, which provide a smorgasbord of images for a photographer. The colours change noticeably as varying degrees of cloud cover pass and time goes by.
Gerald Bryant, director of the field research institute at Dixie State University in St. George, Utah, says the sand composing The Wave was deposited 180 million to 190 million years ago, based on analyses that date the area using fossil pollen and volcanic ash deposits.
"The sandstone is weakly cemented and ongoing processes of erosion are important to its present configuration," Bryant wrote in an email. "Though the bulk of landscape incision and sediment removal has been accomplished by running water, many of the delicate surfaces have been sculpted by wind."
The Wave was not well-known in the decades before Vermilion Cliffs was designated a national monument in 2000. "Nobody knew really where The Wave was," Spellman said. "Friends had to tell friends. It wasn't on the Internet. Somebody would give you a secret map, hand drawn with circles, and you'd go up to a desk and people would say: 'Oh yeah, go on in there.'"
But nowadays, Wright said, it's not uncommon to have 150 people take part in the daily drawing, particularly in April, May and June. Fewer apply in winter, and a hot forecast in summer can also cut the numbers.
Those caught hiking without a permit face tickets ranging from $125 to a couple of thousand dollars. "People will find out about those people, and they turn them in," Spellman said.
Up to six people can be represented by one bingo ball in the drawings, but if only two spots remain and a group of four is chosen, they have to decide which two can go. On occasion, a whole group passes, and cheers can be heard as renewed possibilities open up for others and the drawing continues.
The disappointment can be palpable for people who don't win. Still, with destinations like the Grand Canyon's North Rim, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park and other natural wonders located an easy day trip from Kanab, there are plenty of great alternatives.
Karla Costa of Chicago didn't get selected in a drawing in May. Next time, she says, she will try the online lottery. Despite missing out on The Wave, Costa noted the many other places to explore. "If it does not work out in the morning, we just, you know, hit the road," she said.
If You Go...
THE WAVE: Located at Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, in Arizona, just over the Utah border, with drawings for 10 permits for next-day hikes held daily at 9 a.m. at Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Kanab, Utah, about 46 miles (74 kilometres) from The Wave trailhead. Permits cost $7. Online lotteries for another 10 daily permits are held four months in advance: http://www.blm.gov/az/st/en/arolrsmain/paria/coyote_buttes/permits.html.
