The intensity continues, Scorpio! You've been through quite a ride in 2013 and you're very clear that change is the only constant. With all of the trials and tribulations endured, you're certainly stronger than ever. The metaphor of the Phoenix rising from the ashes (often associated with your sign) could not be more apropos this year. You've let go of so much during the last year and now you're preparing for a major rebirth. After shedding layers upon layers and ancient attachments, you're ready for the new. This is your year to get crystal clear on what you're most passionate about and commit to it in the deepest way possible. You are an all-or-nothing sign to begin with, and this is a year when you simply must embrace your all-encompassing nature. You want to live life to the fullest, even if that means going to hell and back. It's what keeps you feeling on fire and stretched to your max. You want to know that you're growing and facing your deepest fears and insecurities, and coming back stronger for having done so. This is exactly where you're at when 2014 kicks in.
You've got both Saturn and the North Node of Fate in your constellation again this year, creating a powerful feeling of destiny. The North Node will move out of your stars in March, so you may be concluding a powerful evolutionary chapter around this time around intimacy and commitment fears. You're about to then enter a phase where you're being asked to look inward and reflect on the relationship you have with yourself, Scorpio. Put all of those hard lessons you survived in 2013 via your love life to the test by closely examining the relationship you have with yourself. How do you treat Number One?
With Saturn continuing to push you to your highest level of growth and maturity, you're feeling tested on a daily basis. Although this might be quite a grueling experience as Saturn can create a feeling of isolation or separation, you're being given the gift of finding out what you're really made of. When you no longer have external sources of support that are totally reliable, do you turn inward to your own resources or continue to focus on the disappointment? The test is to let go of any bitterness and just strengthen from within, Scorpio.
You've been through the romantic ringer during the past few years, Scorpio! At this point you're just ready to land somewhere safe and sound -- preferably in the arms of a solid and loving partner! You're craving stability and security like mad, but you're starting to learn that the real rootedness you seek is within. No more giving your power away -- been there, done that! You're becoming a total tower of strength, and that is damn sexy to potential partners (or if you're already committed, to your current beloved.) In any case, you're still being tested on your devotion and tolerance levels in romantic relationships. Intimacy is what you most desire, Scorpio, but that doesn't come easily while Saturn is still rocking your stars. You've got to face all of your demons -- and then some -- if you want your relationship to survive and deepen.
Mars (your ruling planet) is going to be in the sign of relationships for the entire first half of the year, putting a major emphasis on partnering. Mars shows where and how we direct our energy. So while Mars spends an unusually long time in the sign of harmony and coupling, your focus is going to be on finding the beauty and balance with significant others. In March, Mars will go retrograde until May, asking you to revisit old relationship patterns. There's a huge emphasis on peace, equality and negotiation. Mars is not a happy camper in the sign of Libra because it feels compromised to assert its will, and thus passive-aggressive measures could take over. It's harder to be direct with your beloved this year because of the emphasis on harmony and cooperation. You're afraid to rock the boat. The plus side is that you're learning to see the point of view of your partners before demanding that you have it your way or the highway. The downside is that you're feeling like you can't directly assert what you want or need as things come up, which could lead to later explosions that totally blindside your partner. Not to worry, Scorpio. In July you'll be back in your fiery power as Mars enters his home turf until September.
You've totally got the good graces of Jupiter working some serious magic in your career zone in 2014. You are a fortress of money-generating power. Plus you're more determined to stay on top of your debt than ever before -- even if that means working yourself to the bone. You have the gift of maximizing your resources and connections with powerful people and marveling at how quickly your good fortune expands. This is one of those rare times when people practically want to throw money in your lap. Although you're just as lucky when it comes to getting loans, you may want to opt out as Saturn in Scorpio asks you to remain debt free. But don't worry -- you'll still have all the financial support you need with Jupiter blessing your career zone starting in July.
Keep your heart and arms wide open and graciously receive. This is easier said than done as you pride yourself on being super self-reliant. But others are coming to your support. You can return the favor in the summer when your money is flowing and you've finally got a little extra cash to spare. You love lavishing your friends, colleagues and lovers with decadent gifts. Your imagination is getting fired up with Mars spending the entire first half of the year in your dream zone. Pay close attentions to the messages, symbols and images that show up in both your waking and dream state. You're doing some of your best work while unconscious in preparation for the major surge that begins this summer when Mars fires up your stars!
Starting this summer, you'll have Jupiter blessing the top of your horoscope, which is an excellent indicator of big-scale success. Next, this fall you'll have Mars powering up your money zone, bringing all the energy and ambition you need to generate greater income. You're thinking about ways to expand your horizons financially during the latter half of the year and have the awesome backing of Jupiter all year long to make your biggest dreams a reality. Go way beyond your normal concept of success and push the limits on what you think is possible. You'll happily surprise yourself with the enormity you're truly capable of, Scorpio!

|Computer & Information Science Department: CIS-201
Cuyamaca College Cisco Networking Academy
CCNA1 - Network Fundamentals (CIS-201)
Changes to this syllabus may occur anytime during the semester. Notification of changes will be provided via Blackboard announcements.
Course Description
Welcome to the Cisco Networking Academy program! This is the first of four courses designed to provide classroom and laboratory experience in current and emerging networking technology, and to help prepare for certification as a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA). This curriculum presents a comprehensive overview of networking; from fundamentals to advanced applications and services. It is based on the top-down approach to networking that is popular in many colleges and universities. The course emphasizes concepts and skills required to design networks, while providing opportunities for practical application and hands-on experience by teaching students how to install, operate, and maintain networks.
Advisory Prerequisite
Course Goals
This course introduces the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet and other computer networks. It uses the OSI and TCP layered models to examine the nature and roles of protocols and services at the application, network, data link, and physical layers. The principles and structure of IP addressing and fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations are introduced to provide a foundation for the curriculum. Labs use a "model Internet" to allow students to analyze real data without affecting production networks. Packet Tracer (PT) activities help students analyze protocol and network operation and build small networks in a simulated environment. At the end of the course, students build simple LAN topologies by applying basic principles of cabling; performing basic configurations of network devices, including routers and switches; and implementing IP addressing schemes.
Course Objectives
Given a LAN/WAN configuration scenario, students will be able to:

A Horizon Community Bank Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a personal savings plan that provides income tax advantages to individuals (and married couples) saving money for retirement purposes.
Horizon Community Bank offers both Traditional and ROTH IRAs.
Contributions are NOT deductible when the funds are contributed, but the Roth IRA earnings accumulate tax-free and remain tax-free upon distribution. Eligibility is based on marital status and adjusted gross income. You cannot withdraw your funds within the first 5 years after the establishment of the Roth without a penalty. Given that this 5-year testing period can successfully be addressed by proper tax planning, the establishment and at least partial funding of a Roth IRA account should be on the discussion list of the financial advisor of every taxpayer who qualifies to open such a plan.

Reverse Supply Chain Process as Environmental Sustainability in the Poultry Industry of Bangladesh
Mohammad Shamsuddoha
University of Chittagong
August 10, 2011
CBC Doctoral Students' Colloquium, Curtin University, Perth, Australia, September 15-16, 2011
Environmental sustainability is one of the well-known concepts for the corporate industry to manage internal and external resources for present and future generation. This valued concept make beneficiary to its follower in terms of environment friendly reputation and gaining extra profit. Attention in supply chain management has increasingly amplified since the 1980s when firms realize its benefits of mutual relationships within and beyond their own organization. Reverse supply chain (RSC) is one of the wings of supply chain management which deals with product return, waste reduction, recycle and reuse etc related to environment. This is why, researcher have preferred this potential area based on particular case industry to observe how reverse supply chain can be used to protect and improve environmental hazards. The objectives of this paper are twofold. First, it offers a literature review on sustainability along with environment and supply chain in conjunction with reverse supply chain issue. Second, it develops a conceptual sustainable environment friendly model based on reverse supply chain theory. Later, model has been fitted in simulation environment through Simul8 package. In this paper, poultry industry of Bangladesh used as case. The model has been developed by taking in-depth interview from experienced poultry executives. The paper ultimately focused on sustainability (only dealt with environmental domain) along with reverse supply chain process in the hub of poultry industry of Bangladesh. Future research in this area is also highlighted in this study.

Does the individual understand that a decision needs to be made? Dies the individual understand the options available in making a decision? Does the individual understand the potential consequences of the decision and options? Can the individual direct the decision to appropriate parties? The areas of decision making on which most guardianships are focused are living conditions, medical care, vocations and educational services, ancillary professional services, caring for dependents, and managing finances.
provide a description of the nature and type of disability and an explanation of how that disability impacts the individual's decision making; offer an analysis and results of evaluations of the individual's mental and physical condition, educational level, adaptive behavior and social skills as appropriate; state an opinion about the need for guardianship, and provide supporting reasons for this opinion; and recommend suitable living arrangements and treatment or habilitation plans. This report should accurate reflect the skills and abilities of the person as well as the deficits and problems. Finally the report must be signed by all involved in the evaluation. Two Physician's or Psychologist's Certificates must also accompany the evaluation. The report must be timely and meet a time frame that is usually stated in the statute
A petition, which is the official request for the appointment of a guardian, will be prepared and signed by someone alleging incapacity, and the need for guardianship; it is then filed.
A hearing date will be set and usually a Summons is served. The summons is the official notice to the person with disabilities about guardianship proceedings, the time, and place.
Notice of the date, time and place of the guardianship proceedings is given to any interested parties, family members, proposed guardian, etc., in order that they can be present at the hearing if they choose.
A hearing will be held and evidence presented about the need for guardianship. The potential ward is usually represented by an attorney during the hearing process. Although, at times, the hearing may seem to be quite informal, this is an adversarial process and the petitioner must clearly demonstrate to the court that the individual needs a guardian of some sort.
The above includes very broad and general descriptions. During the appointment proceedings of a guardian the alleged disable person has specific due process rights that are enumerated in the various state laws. Although an attorney may not be required to establish guardianship in some areas, this is a legal process. It may be best to consult an attorney familiar with guardianship proceedings and disability.
Individuals - 18 years of age, not convicted of a felony, and not adjudicated disabled. Non-related professional Guardian - 18 years of age, not convicted of a felony, and not adjudicated disabled. A public or private institution, not supplying housing. Financial institutions (for estate matters only).
Person - makes decisions about person, programs, medical care, residence, release of confidential information. Property - manages and makes decisions about financial matters, benefits, real estate and other property often referred to as conservator. Plenary - means total and can be attached to guardianship of person or property or both. In most states there are exclusions to plenary guardianship, which may be residential placement, certain medical procedures, and sale or transfer of property. The guidelines again are in the state laws regulating guardianship. Limited - means that the guardian has only the authority specifically given by court order. The ward keeps all other decision-making rights not specifically outlines by the court order. In most states the appointment of a limited guardian does not equal a finding of legal incompetence. Successor - the court appoints another guardian when the original guardian dies, resigns, or is removed. Usually the successor has the same powers of the original guardian.
In Frederick County, the Adult Disabled Review Board meets quarterly to review each ward's case individually for appropriateness of guardianship and the need for continued guardianship services.
Information is available on the READY Frederick County website www.FrederickCountyMD.gov/READY to assist you in formulating your plan. To further assist you, links are also available to the READY.gov federal website and the American Red Cross - Frederick County Chapter. During an emergency, the County's web site and local TV/radio stations will provide emergency information.
You also want to be prepared to "shelter in place" for 3 days. (For example, a big snow storm.) To shelter comfortably, you will want to have the basics: 1 gallon of water per person per day, food and manual can opener, a week's supply of prescription medication, battery powered radio with extra batteries, extra batteries for hearing aids or other assistance devices, flashlight with extra batteries, a list of contacts with family members, friends, doctors, and first aid supplies. Any items you normally use that you would need for 3 days should an emergency occur should also be included. If you have a pet, you will need 3 days supply of food and water for each pet. Should you have to evacuate, these supplies should go with you. More extensive lists and information can be found on websites dealing with preparedness, such as www.ready.gov.
It is also a very good idea to have a "go bag" ready in case you have to evacuate either your home or work place. This small bag could include those personal items you would need if you had to leave without any notice as well as copies of financial records, pet's veterinarian records, extra keys for house and car, cash, spare glasses or other special needs items, such as medications, batteries for assistance devices and copies of family documents.
Ask your supervisor for the company's emergency plan and make sure you understand fully what their plans and policies are. You may also want to plan and practice an evacuation if the company does not routinely offer drills.
If you need assistance, make sure you coordinate with your supervisor and plan with co-workers in advance so they can provide assistance.
If you have hearing loss, you may also want to consider purchasing a close captioned battery operated TV in case of power outage.

These exercises imagine incident-based scenarios that are most likely to occur and the County's proposed response to the situation, based on available resources. The learning experiences gained from these exercises allow emergency managers to act as facilitators to emergency responders by providing support, expertise, and avenues to obtain resources that may be required to manage a particular incident.
Being aware and staying informed is key to reducing threats to life or property during a disaster. The Division of Emergency Management's role is to support public safety agencies, continuity of government operations, and to provide reliable and timely information to the public during an emergency. The Emergency Operations Plan provides guidance across County departments, agencies and response organizations by describing an overall emergency response system.
The County offers emergency notifications through a variety of different methods such as text, television, website and radio.
During an emergency, the County's resources may be scarce. That is why we encourage all residents to plan in advance, with neighbors, friends and family so if you should need assistance, you have people you can call on.
At times, travel restrictions are part of a State of Emergency. This is typically done to allow snowplows to clear the roads. At other times government offices may be closed. A State of Emergency permits government officials to recommend specific actions that citizens should take to insure the safety of their families and homes during the emergency. Each emergency is different, and different factors will impact the decisions made by State officials in response to the incident.
They include:
Prohibited parking on roads and streets designated as snow emergency routes and the use of snow tires/chains (most cars now use all weather tires, so changing to "snow" tires is unnecessary).
Once an emergency is in effect, all requirements are in effect until lifted. A Snow Emergency Plan is put into effect by county. Certain exceptions can occur while a snow emergency plan is in effect. A specific route(s) can be lifted and the remainders of the roads in the county still remain under the Snow Emergency Plan. For the most up to date information, it is advised to call the local MSP barrack for the county. In Frederick County, contact the Maryland State Police B Barrack at 301-600-4151. List of Maryland State Police Barracks
WatchA watch is used when conditions are favorable for dangerous weather to occur. The weather is not currently occurring.
WarningA warning means dangerous weather is happening in a certain region or is extremely likely to happen soon.
Weather watches typically come many hours before warnings. For example, a winter storm watch is usually declared for an area from 12 to 36 hours prior to a storm, while a warning indicates that a storm has been observed nearby and is about to hit the area.
AdvisoryAnother type of weather alert is an advisory. An advisory is similar to a warning except that the weather conditions are not as severe.
Although dealing with any disaster in the County will be paramount, the continuity of operations of the County Government must be maintained. Our emergency support functions, which include all County agencies, have established contingency plans to maintain operations to the entire County, even those who may not be affected by disaster.
Frederick County generally does not open warming or cooling centers unless extreme circumstances warrant them, such as the 2010 February Blizzard. If you are in need of a location to warm up/cool down, public libraries and other public buildings are an excellent resource.

Watch this great video for some insight into how Public Health affects you. What is Public Health?
ATSDR's Public Health Assessment estimated the TCE and PCE exposure doses to residents of those houses by using the maximum measured concentrations of the chemicals in 1992 (when potable use of the wells ceased). Evaluation of these contaminants and estimated ingestion doses of TCE and PCE for children and adults lead to the following conclusions:a) "Harmful effects are unlikely for users of the contaminated private wells based on maximum measured concentrations of PCE and TCE (cancer and non-cancer health effects). b) Residences with contaminated wells are currently being provided with alternate water. Current exposure to VOCs at these locations is limited to incidental use of the wells for irrigation or other outside uses. These exposures are unlikely to result in any harmful health effects.

When trying to determine whether a group of cancers is due to chance alone, or is a true "cluster," some of the questions that should be asked include: (a) Is this the same type of cancer, or is it many different types?; (b) Are the cancers occurring in people who typically get this kind of cancer, or are these cancers happening in people who don't typically get this type of cancer?; (c) Are the cancers occurring in people who are known to have a specific exposure?; (d) If an exposure is suspected of being related to a cancer, is there a reasonable period of time between when the exposure happened and when the cancer happened (because chemicals that are known to cause cancer typically take several years to several decades between when the exposure happens and when the cancer is finally apparent)?; and (e) Are the cancers common cancers, or are they very rare types of cancers?
The Maryland Cancer Registry is an ongoing registry since 1992, and the data are used for many different purposes. For example, data are used to look at the numbers and rates of cancer by type of cancer, race, ethnicity, age, gender, and geographic residence. In addition to all of its other responsibilities, the Registry provides data to the counties, which use the data to target cancer surveillance, screening, and prevention activities in conjunction with local health care providers and organizations. The review of state cancer data, to determine whether any particular area has more cancer than would be expected under normal circumstances, is a complicated task that requires additional resources beyond the other activities of the Registry and the health department. However, both the state and county health departments are committed to providing resources to this review of Registry data, because of community concerns.
The Frederick County Health Department conducted a Community Health Assessment in 2007 by surveying Frederick County residents. Participants were asked about a past diagnosis of non-skin cancer and modifiable risk factors associated with the development of cancer. The responses were then reported out separately for respondents from Central Frederick County, Northern Frederick County, and Southern Frederick County. The full Community Health Assessment can be found at http://www.frederickcountymd.gov/index.aspx?NID=2371 .For more information: Question and Answers about Cancer Clusters (Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene) http://fha.maryland.gov/pdf/cancer/mcr_combined_cancer_cluster.pdf
The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene began its preliminary investigation using data that was already collected by the Maryland Cancer Registry. The initial cancer investigation is being conducted to answer questions and concerns that have been raised by Frederick County residents about cancer in the area, and proceeded independently of any ongoing issues related to environmental remediation at Fort Detrick. As additional concerns are raised as a result of this preliminary investigation and any future investigations, they will be addressed by the Frederick County Health Department, working together with the appropriate state and federal agencies.
Area B has been the primary location of waste management activities for Fort Detrick and is the location of an active municipal landfill, animal farm, former skeet range, former explosives storage area, and former waste disposal/test areas associated with former research activities.
In the late 1940s, the Special Operations Group of Fort Detrick installed a test grid in Area B to test both live and simulant biological warfare (BW) materials. A list of the live agent materials used in Area B is not available, but it is known that simulant materials used included Bacillus globigii, Serratia marcescens, and Escherichia coli. Test animals were buried in trenches or pits located in Area B after autoclave sterilization. Many types of munitions were tested on the test grid in Area B.
Anthrax was buried in Area B. In addition, radiological tracer materials were reportedly buried at three locations in Area B, including radioactive carbon, sulfur, and phosphorous. Two cylinders marked "Phosgene" were also reportedly buried in Area B. Phosgene is considered a lethal chemical agent.
In 1970 and 1971, after the United States outlawed biological research for offensive operations, a decontamination program was initiated for Fort Detrick. Decontamination procedures for residual biological/chemical research materials included autoclave steam sterilization and incineration. Incineration ash was tilled into soil in the northwestern corner of Area B (Pit 13). Research buildings and equipment were also decontaminated, and an extensive wipe sampling program was completed after decontamination. In addition, sewage drainage lines were cut and capped, and drainage systems were filled with hypochlorite solution.
In 1977, severe soil erosion exposed buried scrap materials and created several deep cavities in Area B. The areas were subsequently covered with soil.
In June 2004, a removal action was completed at Area B-11, an Area B chemical disposal area. Activities completed included the removal of contaminated soil, chemical containers, compressed gas cylinders, and laboratory waste. The discovery of live pathogens in medical wastes at Area B-11 caused suspension of all intrusive work at the disposal area. The southwestern portion of Area B contains three known chemical waste disposal pits (Pits 1, 3, and 4), one suspected chemical waste disposal pit (Pit 2), and one ash disposal pit. Area B-11, also known as Pit 11, is reported to have received various types of waste chemicals from Fort Detrick, the National Bureau of Standards, and the Walter Reed Army Medical Center from 1955 to 1970.
Reportedly, eight 55-gallon drums of TCE were disposed of in Pit 1. Wastes disposed of in the pits included metals, wood, general waste from laboratory modifications and building demolition, refuse from housing and animal farm operations, acids and chemicals, incinerated medical waste, waste herbicides and insecticides, phosgene, and animals potentially contaminated by anthrax. Area B-11 is underlain by solution-weathered limestone of the Frederick Formation, a karst formation aquifer. Solution features such as voids were identified in Area B-11 during the installation of monitoring wells. The voids are 10 to 87 feet long and were encountered with the greatest concentration in the first 100 feet of drilling. Drilling in Area B-11 revealed that bedrock is located at 32 to 33 feet below ground surface (bgs). The nature of karst conditions in Area B-11 increases the probability of releases to ground water from wastes disposed of in Area B-11. Wastes may have been disposed of directly into karst solution cavities (voids). All of these disposal activities could have resulted in ground water contamination.
The EPA has requested that the Army undertake an Archives Search Report to identify all materials used, tested, and disposed of at Area B over time. Such historical information will aid in determining what potentially could exist at Area B.
The EPA maximum contaminant level for the amount of tetrachloroethylene that can be in drinking water is 0.005 milligrams tetrachloroethylene per liter of water (0.005 mg/L). The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set a limit of 100 ppm for an 8-hour workday over a 40-hour workweek. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends that tetrachloroethylene be handled as a potential carcinogen and recommends that levels in workplace air should be as low as possible. [Source: ATSDR ToxFAQs accessed 12/29/10, http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxfaqs/TF.asp?id=264&tid=48 ]
TCE is Trichloroethylene (TCE), a nonflammable, colorless liquid with a somewhat sweet odor and a sweet, burning taste. It is used mainly as a solvent to remove grease from metal parts, but it is also an ingredient in adhesives, paint removers, typewriter correction fluids, and spot removers. Trichloroethylene is not thought to occur naturally in the environment. However, it has been found in underground water sources and many surface waters as a result of the manufacture, use, and disposal of the chemical.
Some studies with mice and rats have suggested that high levels of trichloroethylene may cause liver, kidney, or lung cancer. Some studies of people exposed over long periods to high levels of trichloroethylene in drinking water or in workplace air have found evidence of increased cancer. Although, there are some concerns about the studies of people who were exposed to trichloroethylene, some of the effects found in people were similar to effects in animals. In its 9th Report on Carcinogens, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) determined that trichloroethylene is "reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen." The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that trichloroethylene is "probably carcinogenic to humans."
The EPA has set a maximum contaminant level for trichloroethylene in drinking water at 0.005 milligrams per liter (0.005 mg/L) or 5 parts of TCE per billion parts water. The EPA has also developed regulations for the handling and disposal of trichloroethylene. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set an exposure limit of 100 parts of trichloroethylene per million parts of air (100 ppm) for an 8-hour workday, 40-hour workweek.

VC has been found in the source area near the B-11 pit. In 2007, 21 Area B monitoring wells were sampled with only 1 detection of VC (9.6 ppm, in BMW 56D) near the B-11 pit area. There were no off-site detections of VC. Consistent levels of vinyl chloride (VC) throughout the contaminant plume would indicate that the known contaminants (i.e. TCE, PCE) may be naturally degrading through the process of dehalogenation to a benign endpoint (i.e. ethane) through biologic and natural processes. Certain anaerobic bacteria, principally Dehalococcoide ethenogenes, have been shown to effectively accomplish this conversion. The optimum pH range for D. ethenogenes has been reported in scientific literature as neutral to slightly alkaline, i.e., between 7 & 7.5. During the 2007 sampling event, the average pH reported was 7.56 or slightly beyond the optimum pH range. Also, with the exception of the anaerobic pit areas in Area B, the aquifer is oxygenated (i.e., aerobic). For this reason, significant D. ethenogenes activity is unlikely to be detected beyond the pit areas.
With regard to toxic air pollutants (TAPs), screening levels (i.e., acceptable ambient concentrations for toxic air pollutants) are generally established at 1/100 of allowed worker exposure levels. The Maryland Department of Environment has also developed additional screening levels for carcinogenic compounds. The additional screening levels are established such that continuous exposure to the subject TAP at the screening level for a period of 70 years is expected to cause an increase in lifetime cancer risk of no more than 1 in 100,000.
The Fort Detrick incinerators are required to perform routine stack testing in order to demonstrate compliance with both federal and State emission standards. Based on these stack test results, Fort Detrick is in compliance with both the Federal and State regulatory requirements for air emissions. In addition, the same controls would reduce emissions of other unregulated toxic air pollutants.
There are 7 principal dioxin compounds, 10 furan compounds, and 12 polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) compounds which act similarly and may pose potential health risks. The compounds in this group (dioxins, furans, and PCBs) have different levels of toxicity, so a particular level of one compound does not necessarily pose the same risk as an equal level of another compound in the group. Dioxins are widespread environmental contaminants that tend to be present in soil at background levels. The background level of dioxins and related compounds in Frederick County has not been determined.
The only dioxin results reviewed by U.S. EPA thus far were submitted by John Bee on behalf of the Kristin Renee White Foundation. These soil samples, when evaluated in terms of 2,3,7,8-TCDD equivalents (2,3,7,8-TCDDeq), revealed dioxin levels (up to 7.89 parts per trillion [ppt] 2,3,7,8-TCDDeq) that are within the background range expected for rural areas of the U.S. (up to 11 ppt 2,3,7,8-TCDDeq ).
None of the levels reported in the referenced sampling effort exceed U.S. EPA's current residential clean-up standard for dioxin (1000 ppt 2,3,7,8-TCDDeq), proposed interim Preliminary Remediation Goal (72 ppt 2,3,7,8-TCDDeq) or risk-based concentration for residential exposure (450 ppt 2,3,7,8-TCDDeq), at an excess cancer risk of 1 in 10,000). As part of the ongoing investigation of Area B, EPA and MDE are discussing how best to conduct dioxin sampling for both on-post and off-post locations. This effort should provide more thorough coverage than the limited dioxin sampling conducted to date, and should capture the extent of dioxin contamination, if any, in the vicinity of the Area B.
If the Maryland Department of the Environment determines that there are area-wide contaminations that could impact individual private wells, an investigation in collaboration with the local County Health Department will be made. Depending on the significance of the contamination and number of impacted wells, corrective actions will be recommended. If wells are contaminated at a level that exceeds federal or State drinking water standards, solutions under consideration will include the provision of public water. There is also the option for the responsible party (e.g. Ft. Detrick) to request that the City connect those properties.

Summer has really begun when we see junior sailors out on the bay and we start getting the results of junior regattas held up and down Long Island Sound. The summer just doesn't seem long enough to get in all the activities these young sailors attend, but somehow by the end of August, our juniors have "been there and done that." This past week is a good example of what will prove to be a summer full of great sailing opportunities. On Thursday, July 8th, Sea Cliff YC held the 2004 Western District Regatta. The Race Committee, headed by Dana Schnipper, who sails with Stephanie Baas during the winter months in IC dinghy #510, ran three races for the Blue Jays, Lasers, Laser Radials and Club 420 Classes. Sue Miller, from MBYC, who successfully champions Sonar #451, Ping, with John Browning, served as Jury Chair. Just under 100 juniors from western Long Island Sound competed in the regatta on a sunny, but almost wind-less day. After a mandatory meeting at the clubhouse at 10:00 am, the first warning signal was to be at 11:50. Well after that time, boats were being towed to the two race circles, one for the Blue Jays, and a second one for the three other divisions. The RC postponed racing until the wind filled in, but with threats of a severe thunderstorm hovering over the area (which never materialized), the RC used great judgment in getting the racing underway as soon as the wind started to fill in, and all three races were completed. Tedd Himler, MBYC, captured first place in the Laser Radial Class (37 boats). Sailing in the same class from our area were: Marissa Diaz (MBYC); John Keneally (PWYC); Francesca Capone (MBYC); Katherine Rainone (MBYC); Christine Ferro (PWYC); Christopher Wands (PWYC); and Lianna Gordon (PWYC). Local sailors in the Blue Jay division (14 boats): Robert Maisano/Hayes Brown (MBYC); Douglas Horowitz/Peter Aiken (MBYC). Nicholas Silbersack (MBYC) was the only local sailor in the Laser class (14 boats). Mark du Moulin (LYC) - son of Rich du Moulin who sailed out of Knickerbocker YC as a junior -came in second in the Club 420 class (32 boats). Local sailors in this class include: Danielle Powers/Carrie Mores (KYC); Will McIntosh/Lukasz Mosakowski (PWYC); Matt Cornachio/Wilkie Jordan (MBYC); and Paige Wassmer (PWYC)/Louise Browning (MBYC).
On Saturday July10, the Knickerbocker YC held the KYC Opti Invitational 2004, and just about 100 of our youngest sailors participated. Manhasset Bay was a beautiful sight from mid-morning through the afternoon, as the Opti sails filled the horizon. The Optimist, a flat-bottomed, hard-chine, pram-bow dinghy, first came to our bay in 1986 and has been training our youngest sailors ever since. In fact, the Optimist is the dinghy in which young people of the world learn to sail. It is sailed in 110 countries and by over 150,000 kids. It is the only dinghy approved by the International Sailing Federation exclusively for sailors under 16. And over 50 percent of the dinghy skippers at the Sydney Olympics were former Optimists sailors. It has been called "a bathtub that breeds the best sailors," and is simple enough for an 8-year old and exciting and technical enough for a 15-year old. Jim Lyman and Donna Powers were Event Chairs, Sandy Lindenbaum was Race Committee Chair, and Michael Silverman was the Scorekeeper. They all did a great job, considering the wind didn't cooperate and racing was delayed almost two hours. Managing to keep these youngsters occupied and within sight is no easy task, as many of these skippers have never raced before. So hats off to the management team that provided these young children a venue to test their skills and at the same time have a really good time. Let the naysayers who claim that sailing in America is dying out come to KYC and Manhasset Bay and see the future of our sport!
Results for the KYC Opti Invitational: Please note that the top 10winners will be listed as well as all local sailors. This is a change from the usual reporting of only the top three winners - let's highlight these young kids for their efforts! White Class (24 boats): 1. Ian Storck (Centerport), 2. Charlie Morris (MBYC), 3. Kristen Bomkamp (Centerport), 4. Tracy Doherty (SCYC), 5. Laura Wefer (NBSA), 6. Nick Lobley (MBYC), 7. Robert Simkins (Centerport), 8. Joan Glackin (Centerport), 9. Mackenzie Needham (Shelter Island), 10. Robbie Jordan (MBYC). Also sailing in the White class from our area: Patrick Reardon (PWYC), Clare McIntee (MBYC), Catryn Silbersack (MBYC), James Lehembre-Shiah (MBYC), Ryan Reardon (PWYC), Elizabeth Einhaus (PWYC), Patrick Ferro (PWYC), Katherine Andromidas (PWYC), and Alexandra Andromidas (PWYC). The results of the Blue Class (43 boats): 1. Matt Wefer (NBSA), 2. Evan Read (MBYC), 3. Colin McFaul (Seawanhaka), 4. Wilkie Jordan (MBYC), 5. Molly Hodson (PWYC), 6. Christian Gordon (PWYC), 7. Connor Needham (Shelter Island), 8. Ben Lobley (MBYC), 9. Sean McIntee (MBYC), and 10. Patrick Jacobitti (Centerport). Local sailors include: Ted Melittas (PWYC), Patrick Molligo (PWYC), Katherine McCarthy (PWYC), Robert Wands (PWYC), Josh Dell (KYC), Meredith Krim (MBYC), Lindsay Sterns (PWYC), Devon Kenger (KYC), Brandon Henne (PWYC), Joe Duarte (KYC), Margaux Rand (KYC), Margot Cyprus (MBYC), Laura Cornachio (MBYC), Laura Doyle (PWYC) and Alex Heid (MBYC). Results for the Red Class (13 boats): 1. Austen Anderson (NBSA), 2. Wesley Yland (Centerport), 3. Eamon Glackin (NSBA), 4. Jessica Nees (PWYC), 5. Tommy Keegan (Centerport), 6. Daniel Landa (Douglaston), 7. Collin Leon (Seawanhaka), 8. Ali Swanson (Orient), 9. Caroline Doyle (PWYC), and 10. Marina Gluckman (Orient). Eddie Einhous (PWYC) also sailed in this fleet. Congratulations to all our young sailors - may you all have a terrific summer of sailing! A footnote: This last division, with only 13 boats, was the most competitive of the fleets. The young man who won this division, Austen Anderson, came in 2nd in the Optimist North American Championships, which is one of the premier youth yachting events on the annual calendar. As many as 150 sailors, representing up to 20 countries competed at the Texas Corinthian YC from June 26-July 2. In order to compete, sailors qualify in their home countries to be eligible to be entered in the regatta as a member of their national team. The host country, this time the US, was allowed to enter up to 30 sailors.
Port Washington YC was RC for the weekend of July10-11. There was no wind on Saturday and racing was cancelled, and Sunday results were unavailable as press time. The Thirsty Thursday group was out in force, and the results of their racing follows. Division I (6.03 nm, Course DJ, 6 boats): 1. Avalanche, Al Albrecht, 2. Free-Fall, Bill McFaul, and 3. Promise Kept, Sandy Lindenbaum. Division II (5.73 nm, Course DC, 4 boats): 1. Happy Daze II, Tom Egan, 2. Vision, Marc Epstein, and 3. Donna J, Jeff Wenger.

Needlz Wins 2011 ASCAP Pop Award, Producing Honors English EP
Needlz takes a home another award for his production and links up with Honors English for a new EP.
Producer Needlz took home yet another honor last night at the 28th annual ASCAP Pop Awards. The producer won an award for his work on Bruno Mars's smash single "Just the Way You Are," a song that also earned him a Grammy earlier this year.
"Both winning a Grammy and receiving the ASCAP Pop Award are major," he said. "Overall though, just being relevant after so many years [is] a big accomplishment to me. So many people come and go, and I just had the best year of my career thus far, so I'm definitely blessed. I'm all about the music these days - I'm really all for making an impact, it's about more than money to me."
He added, "I think it's awesome that after doing urban music for so long, I've been able to have such a big mainstream record. I find myself listening to a variety of music these days, and eventually I want to get in to dance and electronic music. I'm just looking for the right artist to break in with."
Needlz isn't content with simply winning awards, however. The beatsmith behind hits from the likes of Ludacris and Drake recently linked up with emcee Honors English to release a new EP, which the singles "Crazay" and "Flying High" with Lupe Fiasco and TL Cross.
The EP is due out this summer.

5 Dangerous Jobs
In trying times, it's tempting to play it safe in your career. But here's another idea: Be bold. Meet five American women who have taken on some intensely gutsy gigs.
By Abigail Pesta

Megan McArthur, 37, Houston; astronaut and NASA mission specialist who recently went up in the shuttle Atlantis to help repair the Hubble Space Telescope
WHAT I DO: I've been at NASA for nine years, and I had my first space trip this past spring that's a long time to wait for a flight. On the shuttle, I'm like the quarterback; when something goes wrong, I help direct actions that need to be taken. Case in point: Right after liftoff on our recent Hubble mission, we had two warning alarms, one about a computer and one about a main engine. It was my job to sort it all out. Then, up in space, I operated a robotic arm that grabbed and moved the Hubble telescope.
HOW IT FEELS TO BLAST OFF THE EARTH: It's mind-boggling to think you're traveling at 17,500 miles an hour. You'd go from New York to L.A. in 15 minutes at that rate.
WHY I DON'T FREAK OUT: We have years of training for any malfunctions, along with psychological screenings. Once, practicing for a rescue scenario, I had to sit cross-legged inside a big beach ball.
SPACE INVASION: In the shuttle, there were seven of us in a closet-sized space. But if someone was in your way, you could just fly over the guy's head. At night, we pinned our sleeping bags to the wall, floor, or ceiling, to make room for everyone. It's a weird feeling to sleep on a wall: You feel like you're going to float out of bed. But you zip yourself in, then anchor yourself with straps across your arms and legs. As for food, we're talking rehydrated lasagna or fajitas, which we had to Velcro to the wall.
STAR WARS OR STAR TREK? Old-school Star Wars: Princess Leia with cinnamon buns on her head. My husband also an astronaut and I walked out of the church on our wedding day to Star Wars music.
WORST PART OF THE JOB: If there's a downside to space travel, it's got to be the bathroom. It's a tiny closet with a fabric screen that's all the privacy you get. A roaring vacuum sucks everything down.
BEST PART: Doing the things I've trained to do for so long it's worth the wait. As a kid, I dreamed of going into space; in college, I studied aerospace engineering, then took a detour and got a Ph.D. in oceanography. So I've been to the ocean floor and to outer space. Next? I'd love to go to the moon.

'The Leftovers' Renewed for Season 2
Season 1's finale will air Sept. 7.
Which one will win the summertime hearts of TV viewers?
It's time to fill that 'True Detective'-shaped hole in your heart. Ten solid TV shows to binge-watch on Netflix.
AT&T has announced that it will acquire satellite broadcaster DirecTV for about $48.5 billion. The boards of both companies have approved the deal, according to a joint statement released by the two companies. Based on details included in the announcement, the purchase will enable AT&T to cover 70 million more customer locations through broadband expansion, and will allow it to offer a more attractive "bundle" of services to entice customers away from subscribing to cable TV.
A watched pot has finally boiled. The U.S. pay-TV industry suffered a subscriber decline in 2013, according to a report from financial services firm SNL Kagan. The contraction, the first ever for a full year, represents a long-anticipated turning point at which industry watchers can finally declare that the traditional cable model is in decline. The details are more complicated, however, and provide an idea of why cable companies like Comcast have been working for years to expand into new businesses.
On Wednesday, news broke that Apple planned to unveil a new version of its Apple TV set-top box by April, potentially marking the company's first big new product of the year. The report, which came from Bloomberg, noted that Apple was in talks with Time Warner Cable to supply video content before launching the product towards the end of this year. That deal, if finalized, would be Apple's first TV content deal with a cable provider and perhaps a step towards a larger effort in the television space.
Merger and acquisition rumors continue to swirl in the cable industry, with reports emerging over the weekend that Charter Communications is preparing a bid for Time Warner Cable. The offer would value TWC at $135 per share, according to a Reuters report. TWC has been the subject of a series of takeover rumors that have intensified in the run up to nomination to seats on the company's board, which are integral to attempts to purchase companies.
The National Basketball Association is close to signing agreements that would allow cable customers in many markets to watch their local teams live online, a first for a major sports league in the U.S. Sports Business Journal has the story: "The league is finalizing TV Everywhere deals with Fox Sports Media Group (FOXA) and NBC Sports Group (CMCSA), the country's two biggest owners of regional sports networks.
Millions of Time Warner Cable subscribers, who for about a month were no longer receiving CBS and Showtime because of a legal battle, will see the blackout end at 6 p.m. ET on Labor Day. TWC, CBS Corporation and Bright House Networks settled the carriage dispute amid US Open coverage and ahead of fall TV premieres and college-football season.
Thinking of cutting the cable cord? Here's a guide about the best way to do so.
After much hubbub over the potential for Netflix to further shake up the television landscape with Emmy nods for its original programming, the dust has settled and House of Cards has prevailed. The series picked up nine nominations in big-ticket categories such as outstanding drama series, lead actor in a drama series for Kevin Spacey and lead actress for Robin Wright. Already, the headlines have proclaimed the onset of a new cultural era.
You think you're saving $100 every month by cutting the cable cord, but streaming could get a lot more expensive as companies launch pay-per-view channels.
TNT and TBS announced Wednesday that they will be the first national entertainment networks to live stream their content 24/7. The plan, announced during the Upfronts in New York, will begin this summer. Viewers will be able to watch the two networks live. "Tablets and smartphones become television sets, bringing new opportunities for us and for advertisers," Steve Koonin, president of Turner Entertainment Networks (pictured above), told the Upfront audience.
The tone of the Pew Research Center's latest annual State of the Media report, released Monday, is grim. The study found that U.S. newsrooms have cut their staff by about 30% since highs reached in 2000, and journalism is suffering as a result. At the same time, companies and other organizations are seizing opportunities to deliver their messages straight to the public -- rather than through the media -- with mixed results.
Unless you've been living with that Russian family cut off from human contact since before World War II, you may have noticed that pretty much every video worth a watch on YouTube has an ad in front of it. This, of course, is not an accident. This is a carefully built and highly profitable scheme created by the good people of Google, and one that's been netting top YouTubers annual salaries of well over a hundred grand per year.
Replacing costly cable service with Internet TV seems like an easy way to reduce the family budget. But with more choices comes more confusion.
When you connect to the Internet at home, you're almost certainly using a form of broadband. Broadband is defined by various standards as being capable of transmitting data at 1.5 or 2 Megabits (Mbits) per second. This type of speed is necessary for streaming high definition video, playing online games and sending and receiving large amounts of data. So how do you connect to the Internet at home? Let's take a look at the most common residential broadband Internet technologies.
This week, Sony announced the launch of its new Google TV set-top box, the NSZ-GS7 Internet player, giving us one more option for watching TV and movies minus the cable box. If you'd like to shift content from your small-screen laptop to the giant flat-screen in your living room, there are now plenty of options available. Check out these five popular picks to see which player suits your viewing habits best.
Eager to define itself as a major entertainment player, YouTube is exploring charging subscriptions for cable content, the company's chief said on Thursday. Google, which has already pledged $100 million to create a slew of premium video channels on YouTube is exploring the idea of charging subsciptions for cable network providers that are looking for syndication outside of traditional cable service operators.
Shortly after Reuters announced its web TV programming iniative with YouTube, news emerged that AOL's Huffington Post Media Group is developing an even more robust online video offering for its own website. According to Forbes -- and our own source confirms this -- the Huffington Post is planning to launch a 24-hour live programming channel called the Huffington Post Streaming Network, or HPSN. Think of it as the Huffington Post's cable news network, minus the cable subscription.
Fueled by the explosive growth of smartphones and tablets, video viewing habits have forever changed. It's no surprise that consumers, who have been quick to embrace video services like HBO GO, Netflix and Hulu, are now expecting a more personal, interactive and seamless viewing experience across their traditional TV, laptops, gaming consoles, and connected TVs, as well as on smartphones and tablets.
Connected TV is being touted as a customizable and interactive experience. However, three key issues stand in the way of achieving that promise. Those obstacles are content provider bundle packages, a lacking interface standard and network infrastructure. These issues will have to be addressed by content creators, cable companies, consumer electronics (CE) manufacturers and network providers before consumers will even get a whiff of interactive content.
It turns out Netflix is cutting into the revenues of the cable business after all, despite assurances from both Netflix and cable providers to the contrary. A survey released by The Diffusion Group found that roughly one-third of Netflix users plans to slash part of their cable, satellite or telcoTV bills in the next six months -- more than double the number that planned to a year ago. Half of those who say they are likely to downgrade their service plans cite cost as the primary reason.
Vevo, the popular website that streams music videos from major labels, would like to transcend the world wide web and launch its own TV channel, according to a New York Post interview with CEO Rio Caraeff. Vevo argues that it is the top destination for music video programming on the web, though MTV Networks gets more traffic when you include all kinds of content, and much of Vevo's traffic runs through YouTube.
HBO Co-president Eric Kessler says his company's HBO Go streaming TV and movie service will be available on the iPad and mobile devices for the network's paying customers within six months. The news was buried in a Bloomberg article about the coming rivalry between HBO and Netflix. The piece says that HBO Go will be available on "all major cable systems, on Apple Inc.'s iPad, on mobile devices and elsewhere" at no extra cost for existing network subscribers.
Netflix could pay up to one billion dollars for the rights to stream recently released feature films from Lionsgate, MGM and Paramount in a deal with cable movie channel upstart Epix. The Los Angeles Times says the deal has been discussed for months but it's still facing a few hurdles. Not the least of these is the fact that cable providers (which Epix is fighting an uphill battle to woo) would be less inclined to carry Epix if it also offers its content online outside of its own private portal.
Web startup BillShrink will launch the beta version of its comparison engine for cable and satellite TV providers today. It will show each option side by side and allow you to specify your precise needs to narrow down your search, just as it already does for credit cards, gas stations and mobile phone providers, The end goal is of course to shrink your bills — secure the service you need for the smallest monthly fee, without any unwanted charges.
Premium cable TV channel Showtime plans to launch a service that will stream episodes of original series like Weeds, The Tudors and Californication to subscribers, a source told Bloomberg Businessweek. Details about the new service are scarce, but the network is reportedly discussing the plans with the cable operators that distribute its channels, who are undoubtedly concerned that an online service will cut into revenues for traditional cable TV distribution.
Former The Tonight Show host Conan O'Brien sat down with CBS's 60 Minutes for his first on the record interview since he left The Tonight Show and NBC in January. Topics covered included Jay Leno, NBC executives, Conan's new cable TV show and his beard.
Web-enabled film and TV network EPIX has signed Emmy award-winning comedy writer Larry Charles to make an original, single-camera, half-hour comedy series called iCON. The series will take place in and poke fun at the Silicon Valley tech culture. Dan Lyons will also write for the series. Dan Lyons is the author of the satirical blog "The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs," so he seems a strong match for the Silicon Valley satire genre.
Microsoft is deep in talks with Disney about getting ESPN content onto Xbox 360 consoles via Xbox LIVE, according to a report by The New York Times. It makes sense. It's an extension of the momentum Microsoft has already built up surrounding getting premium content onto its gaming console -- from hooking in Netflix streaming to integrating the Zune Marketplace with the Xbox 360 for entertainment downloads.
The rise of premium content on the web has been a great boon for online TV, with Hulu and Boxee being shining examples of what innovations the web can bring to television. Of course, there are some that are unsettled by this trend. Enter two of the major cable companies, Comcast and Time Warner. Earlier today, they unveiled a program called "TV Everywhere, a set of guidelines for bringing TV shows online, starting with programs from TNT and TBS.

Jilted lover slices off tattoo of ex's name
Updated On: Feb 14 2014 10:17:12 AM CST
Love hurts. But one British woman took that pain to another level.
Jilted by a cheating lover, 26-year-old Torz Reynolds recently took a blade to her forearm and sliced off a tattoo of her ex-boyfriend's name.
Then she sent him the skin in the mail.
Reynolds told the Daily Star her ex had told her he moved to Alaska for a new job.
But it turns out, he was still back home in Tiptree, Essex, shacking up with another woman.
According to the Daily Mail, Reynolds numbed the area Vasocaine spray before slicing a rectangle around the words "Chopper's B*tch" and pulling it off with a tweezers.
"Posting the tattoo to Chopper sent a clear message," she told the Daily Star. "Now he knows never to mess with me again."
