There's a small, energized group of neighbors in the NW 65th business district between 8th and 3rd Aves NW that originally came together around the idea of creating a Park (which they're still actively working on) and are now organizing in a broader sense to bring their community together.
The "Friends of NW 65th" is looking for energetic and committed neighbors to join their team of volunteers interested in supporting the continued improvement of NW 65th. Volunteers will help organize events and community activities focused on improving this busy corridor between 3rd and 8th Ave NW and the surrounding community.
If you would like to know more about "Friends of NW 65th" or are interested in joining their group, please contact them at firstname.lastname@example.com. They are planning an information session and a survey walk on NW65th in the next few weeks and would like to include you! So what are you waiting for? Contact them. today and start making a difference in your community
Heron Habitat Helpers is conducting a survey of our neighbors living in Ballard, Magnolia and Queen Anne. We need input on how viewing stations displaying great blue herons as they nest and raise their chicks, placed in the visitor centers at Discovery Park and The Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, should be developed to be interesting and inviting to visitors of all ages.

This is the link to our Project HeronWatch survey. Please take the survey, and invite members of your organization, community, school group, etc. to do the same. We hope to hear from as many of you as possible. Feel free to pass this information along to others who might be interested.
The City has unveiled its recently updated Draft Bicycle Master Plan (BMP) to guide the City in creating a more harmonious transportation system where bicycles and vehicles coexist. One such treatment are cycle tracks, which are dedicated travel lanes for cyclists that are physically separated from vehicles. You can see all the proposed bike infrastructure within the City's Draft BMP, and the City is taking public comments on the Draft BMP through Friday, July 26th. Public comments can be emailed to email@example.com.
For the fourth year, Groundswell NW was honored to participate in The Seattle Foundation's GiveBig campaign, a 24-hour community-wide charitable giving extravaganza on May 6. Over a dozen Groundswell NW supported gave a total of nearly $1500!All contributions to Groundswell NW were matched proportionally during this 24 hour period – in other words, the more friends and supporters like you give to Groundswell NW, the more The Seattle Foundation stretched those gifts from their own GiveBIG pool, increasing the impact of every donation made on May 6.
Groundswell NW thanks all who attended our 2013 Annual Meeting on Sunday, April 7 at the Sunset Hill Community Club. Featured speakers included Pomegranate Center founder Milenko Matanovic, and East Ballard Community Association leader Dawn Hemminger, who gave inspirational presentations on creating parks and community spaces.
In addition to a question-and-answer with the two speakers, Groundswell NW presented its annual "Local Heroes" awards, which recognize fellow Ballardites' efforts to create and enhance parks, public spaces, and habitat in our community. The Friends of Kirke Park were recognized for their wildly successful efforts to create Ballard's newest community park. Candace Jarrett was lauded for her "beyond the call of duty" efforts to improve the Sunset Hill - Shilshole Gateway. And while he wasn't able to attend the annual meeting, Rob Mattson was recognized there and at the April 10 Ballard District Council meeting for being the "man behind the curtain," helping Groundswell and other groups and citizen's negotiate the City bureaucracy and build community in Ballard for many years (see this Ballard News Tribune article).
We also elected our slated of officers for the coming year: President David Folweiler, Vice President Frana Milan, Secretary Jan Satterthwaite and Treasurer Matt Hutchins.

After months of technical analysis and input from the community, SPU has identified the most-promising locations for natural drainage in Ballard. A map of those streets is here.
SPU identified these locations by using the results of technical work and feedback from residents.
If you live on these blocks, SPU wants to hear from you. Join us to discuss the project:
Wednesday, June 5, 6-8 p.m., Northminster Presbyterian Church, 7706 25th Ave NW.
6-6:30 p.m.: Overview for those new to the project6:30-7:30 p.m.: Open house with project staff7:30-8 p.m.: Breakout sessions by project area
SPU will continue to talk with residents this summer to gather feedback. In fall 2013 SPU will announce its recommendation and will work with residents on block designs through 2014. Construction would begin in 2015.
If you can't make it to the meeting, you can always contact Project Lead Shanti Colwell:email@example.com 206-386-1501. We will notify you about opportunities to be involved over the summer.
Thank you for your interest in the project.
We were fortunate to have Kevin Buckley of Seattle Public Utilities come to our monthly board meeting. He presented us with a booklet entitled "Protecting Seattle's Waterways". It outlines alternatives and plans to prevent untreated sewage and stormwater from poluting our treasured waters. I encourage people to look at it.
We spoke about working together. If they implement roadside (or other) raingardens, perhaps they could be designed to serve as green space for Seattleites. For example, if 17th Ave NW or 14th Ave NW were to be lined with raingardens, they could form a true greenway from upper Ballard to the Ship Canal.

Groundswell NW awarded its second microgrant recently to support a new park on NW 65th St at 7th Ave NW on the former site of Nick's Motors. The Friends of NW 65th have sumitted an application to the Seattle Parks Department for acquiring the property using funds from the Parks and Green Spaces Levy Opportunity Fund. They will use the money to produce materials for the Open House at the Northgate Community Center and develop a coherent strategy for persuing the acquisition funding. The family of the former owner is in support of creating a park in this space and has pledged financial support for ongoing maintenance.

Koestler will direct U.S. activities in manufacturing, engineering and other areas.
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – STIHL, which manufactures gasoline-powered handheld outdoor power equipment, has announced the appointment of Christian Koestler to the position of vice president of operations for STIHL. In his new position, Koestler will be responsible for directing U.S. activities in the areas of manufacturing, engineering, materials and procurement, logistics, buildings, maintenance and quality assurance. Peter Mueller, who is currently executive vice president of operations, will remain at STIHL until October, when he retires.
Originally from Munich, Germany, Koestler began his career with STIHL Inc. as an engineering intern twelve years ago and held various positions including manufacturing engineering manager and director of technology. In 2010, he accepted the position of global director of engineering, technologies and facility management at ANDREAS STIHL AG & Co. KG, in Germany, where he was responsible for technology and building expansions globally except for the U.S.
In April 2012, he returned to STIHL, which is the headquarters for U.S. operations for the worldwide STIHL Group. Koestler obtained his Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Technical University of Munich. He also holds an MBA from Averett University and is a doctoral candidate in engineering at Old Dominion University.
"Koestler exemplifies the highest standard of learning and individual growth potential at STIHL," said Fred Whyte, president of STIHL. "Koestler raised the bar in our German office and has a proven record of success here at STIHL Inc. We are proud to welcome him back and are confident he will ensure our strong culture and commitment to excellence continues into the next generation of STIHL leadership."
Koestler will replace Peter Mueller, who led the start up of the manufacturing operations for STIHL in the U.S. in 1974 and has overseen all operational aspects for the company for the past 38 years. Koestler resides in Virginia Beach with his wife and daughter.
"From the U.S. to Germany, a commitment to excellence is what I carry over to each position I maintain in the company and hope to continue to be a part of this company's growth for years to come," Koestler said.
Lawn & Landscape and PLANET will bring you a virtual conference aimed at helping you hit that magic number.

Isaiah Washington is teaming up with Forrest Whitaker in Weinstein Co.'s drama Patriots, which is based on a true story about a Louisiana high school basketball team. Set to begin filming in New Orleans this week, Patriots marks Washington's first appearance in a studio movie since he exited Grey's Anatomy last spring. The actor will play Assistant Coach Simmons of John Ehret High, who helps lead his squad to the state championship a year after Hurricane Katrina displaced the school's students.
Isaiah Washington suits up for 'Patriots'
Isaiah Washington is such an underrated actor! When he was booted out of Grey's Anatomy…I stopped watching the show. He was a major part of that show and I felt he was dealt with unfairly when they let him go.
Antonio Pope aside, I am loving the roles he's been getting lately. Parts that allow him to really show his acting range. He's done justice to several villain roles in the past but I think he's at his best when doing drama.
did yu knoe Reggie Wayne attended this same high school I know becouse we played football together GO PATRIOTS

Byron Blues Fest honors volunteers, sets 2012 lineup
Staff Report
Tailgater's Sports Bar was the scene Oct. 9 when the Byron Crossroads Blues Festival (BCBF) volunteers were honored with a party for all who gave their time. Many turned out and heard the newly-retooled Basement Blues Band play two sets of their fantastic brand of roots music. The party was free for all volunteers. Beverages were provided from the festival, and food was donated by BCBF sponsoring bars and restaurants. Crossroads Blues Society arranged the event to reward the volunteers for their efforts.
Festival Chairman Steve Jones honored Denny Barker as Volunteer of the Year for 2011. Denny was hard at work early in the morning prior to the festival set-up beginning, and worked until the final cleanup was done. Barker will be presented with a framed and matted festival poster for his outstanding effort. Jones noted to all in attendance that each and every one of the volunteers were an essential part of making the event a huge success. Each and every volunteer who attended also won a door prize.
The Basement Blues Band played some great blues for the party. The original trio of Steve "Spider" Leigh (guitar and vocals), Rich Gordon (bass and vocals) and Bob Schmidt (drums, percussion and vocals) still are a vital part of the band, but three new members have been added to enrich and round out the sound. David Stine (guitar and vocals), Tom Dinwiddie (mandolin, washboard and vocals) and Mark Thompson (washboard and percussion) give the band a bigger and richer sound, and the added vocals make for a real down-home and authentic sound. The band is growing its repertoire and beginning to perform live; blues fans need to get out and see and hear them. The sound is very deep, with two guitars, bass and mandolin, and the added layers of percussion give the beat and back line nice depth. Everyone was impressed by the new lineup, and appreciated the bigger and better sound!
Crossroads Blues Society has been busy lining up acts for the 2012 BCBF. To grow the festival, they want to raise the bar each year to have bigger and better bands.
Two national acts are scheduled for 2012, and one band from 2010 and one from 2011 are returning to the stage. The event will be Saturday, Aug. 25, 2012.
Opening the day at 1:30 p.m. will be Aaron Williams and the HooDoo. This power trio offers a rocking sound. Their second CD was just released, and both CDs received great critical acclaim.
A free harmonica workshop will be at 3 p.m. with master harmonica player and builder Joe Filisko.
The Jimmy's and their swinging hot sound return to Byron for the 3:30 p.m. set. They closed this year's fest to a raucously good time. Their new CD is selling like hotcakes, and they are one of the Madison, Wis., areas' top bands.
The 5:30 p.m. slot features the Cash Box Kings. They were the 2010 fan favorite and put on a great show. Just signed to a deal on the Blind Pig Record Label, these guys are getting recognition as one of the hottest acts on the scene.
At 7:30 p.m., Nick Moss and the Flip Tops are scheduled to perform. Nick is one of the premier blues guitarists and has been recognized for his efforts with numerous awards. He and his band are in huge demand around the U.S. and internationally.
The big act for the day is Candye Kane, scheduled to come on at 9:30 p.m. Candye is one of the top female vocalists in the blues world, and has received many nominations and awards for her work. She features Laura Chavez on guitar; Chavez and Kane co-wrote all the new music on their newly-released CD that is taking the blues world by storm.
Crossroads and the BCBF team thank all the volunteers and also thank the sponsors and blues fans who made the 2011 fest another great success. With the lineup for 2012, it looks like this event will continue to grow and become a regular fixture on the blues scene. The first two festivals have drawn fans from Las Vegas, New Orleans, Florida and dozens of other states. Local attendees often comment on how much fun the fests have been and are making their late summer 2012 plans around attending the 2012 festival.

"Daddy! Stop!" I choked back tears as my Dad slammed me against the wall.
"No! I know you were going to run away again, Ssssseni!!! I know! You were with that Pokemon!" Daddy was drunk. As always."I forbid you to ever see that pokemon again!"
I bit my lip."No! You can't do that! Shadow Jirachi is my friend! NO!"
"You pokemon infessssted girl!" He slapped me, making me fall down onto the hard floor.
I turned and bolted out of the house. Knowing Daddy, he would probably go to his room, apoligize later, then go buy more alchohol.
My daddy never liked me. I knew that much. Team Magma...Ugh...I hate them...They did this to me...
"Where am I?!" A younger me was strapped to a table. I struggled against the bond.
"No use struggling, little girl." A man walked into the room.
"M-M-Maxxie?!" I was shocked. I knew him as the man who was always giving me candy.
"Yes. But not the one you knew. I am the leader of Team Magma."
"Team Magma?!"
"We are an organazation of theives who want to awaken the legendary pokemon Groudon."
"You stay away from Groudon!" I struggled against the bonds more.
"We need you for an experiment. So stay put."
"Experiment? What do you-?!" He brought in a mirror and showed me my face. I screamed. My ears werent there. Instead, two espeon ears were on the top of my head.
"Now, to begin the research..."
"Let her go, Maxxie!" A voice boomed. I knew who it was. A black Jirachi flew into the room, red eyes glaring at Maxxie.
"Ah, Shadow Jirachi. Good to see you. Here for the reunion?"
"No," Shadow Jirachi used Night shade to break the bonds. I broke out.
"Oh no!" Maxxie ran at me.
"Plusle, I choose you!" I threw a pokeball, sending out a Plusle."Plusle, Thundershock!"
"Pluuuuuussssssle!!!" There was a boom, then we escaped.
That was when I met Shadow Jirachi. He was the only one that made me feel...Well...That I belonged.
I stopped when I got into the forest. I sat down by a tree, hugging my knees and crying my heart out.
"Seni?" It was Shadow Jirachi. He floated down to me, sitting down beside me in the grass."What happened?"
"D-daddy he..." I just continued to sob.
"Its okay, Seni," He floated onto my head."I'm here now. Remember my promise? I will always watch over you." I looked up at him with my purple eyes, making a small smile.
"Its decided. I'm leaving tonight." I told Shadow Jirachi.
"Thats probably a good idea. I'll get Inferno and Aqua Jirachi to tell your father. For some reason they want to make friends with him." Shadow Jirachi nodded.
"Will you be traveling with me?" I asked.
He shook his head."No, but I will watch over you. I'll be there when you need help."
I nodded."Thats okay. I'll have my Plusle and Minun to keep my company."
"Well, I geuss this is good-bye for now," Shadow Jirachi said,
I hugged him."Thank you for everything, Shadow Jirachi. Good-bye." I went deeper into the forest, heading for Dragon Port City.
"Hiya, Seni!" A Light Blue Jirachi flew around me. It was like a regular Jirachi, except it was Light Blue instead of Yellow."Shadow Jirachi told me what happened! So Inferno Jirachi and I wanted to see you off!"
Inferno Jirachi nodded. He was mainly orange, but had all the colors of fire on him. I nodded."Where's Vine Flower Jirachi?" I asked. Vine Flower Jirachi was just a dark green Jirachi.
"He's stubborn as always and wouldn't come." Aqua Jirachi said. Her and Vine Flower Jirachi had a big rivalry.
I nodded again,"I have to go now. See you later." I waved, then walked off.
"Remember, we're watching over you, too!" Aqua Jirachi called, then flew off with Inferno Jirachi into the night.
Plus, My Plusle, And Min, My Minun, were out of their pokeballs and on my shoulders."Oooh! Whats that?!" They pointed at every little shadow they saw.
"Seni!!!" That was Vine Flower Jirachi. He probably has some message for me. He's usually delivers things for me or Inferno Jirachi...Rarely for Shadow or Aqua Jirachi.
I sighed, turning around."What, Vine Flower?"
"Message from your father...Its not really a good one."
I took it, and began to read:
Dear Seni,
Aqua and Inferno Jirachi told me about it.
Just so you know, this meansss you can't come home.
Let your precioussss pokemon keep you company,
You pokemon infessssted freak.
I sighed, and Vine Flower Jirachi's face grew sympathetic."Seni...I know this is a tough time for you, but remember, We're always watching over you.
"Thank you. You Jirachi's have been so nice to me through these rough years." I turned around."Goodbye now. I hope to see you again." Then I walked away.
"You will," Vine Flower Jirachi flew away."Oh, you will..."

Re: ~*~Alone in the world~*~
I was really nervous when Min started growling. I had never heard Min growl before. Something was coming. I didn't know what it was, but all I heard was,"Chuuu..."
"Some form of a Pikachu, I think..." My espeon ears perked up. Sounded more like a Kurochu to me. Kurochu may look like a normal Pikachu at first glance, but ats second glance, you will see differences. Kurochu is black, with red eyes, and all the black, brown, and red parts of its body are silver. A Kurochu jumped out of the bushes.
"Just as I thought, a Kurochu." It stared up at me, fear in its eyes.
Startled, it let out a blast of Night Shade from its cheeks,"Chaaa!" Plus and Min pushed me out of the way."Plus, go! Use Thundershock!" Plus obeyed, but Kurochu countered with Night Shade.
"Plus, use Quick Attack, then use Take Down!" Plus nodded. This time it hit. Kurochu quickly hit Plus with a Night Shade.
"Plusle!" Plus cried in pain. It used Tackle on Kurochu, then hit it with a blast of Thunderbolt.
Both Kurochu and Plusle use Thunderbolt, causing a collision, which caused an explosion.
When they smoke cleared, Kurochu was fainted, and Plus was barely standing.
"Pokeball, go!" I threw a Pokeball at the Kurochu.
It shook once....twice........then a third time...Then it stood still."Alright! We caught Kurochu! Welcome to the Team!"
"Finally! We're here! Dragon Port City!" This place was mainly city, statues of dragon pokemon, and the sea.
"Excuse me young Lady!" Two people in red ran up to me. I knew who it was. Team Magma. I geuss they didn't reconize me because I was older."Would you like to join our secret organazation?"
"What organazation?" I asked boredly, not wanting to hear them blab.
"Team Magma! We're aiming to awake the legendary pokemon Groudon!" Yep, they definetly didn't reconize me.
"No, not a chance. And you better leave groudon alone." I warned.
"Hey! You can't turn us down like that! We'll make you join by force!" A female magma grunt stepped forward.
"Go, Poocheyenna!" A poocheyenna popped out of her pokeball, snarling,
"Poocheyenna, hm? Alright, lets go Min!" Min stepped forward.
"Poocheyenna, go! Use tackle!"
"Dodge, Min! And use Thundershock!" Min zapped the Poocheyenna.
"Poocheyenna, get up NOW!"
"No wonder the pokemon doesent fight well. Min, use quick attack!" Poocheyenna tackled Min first, though."Thats alright, Min! Use Quick Attack, then use Tackle!" Poocheyenna fell backwards onto the trainer.
"Ahh! Lets bolt!" Both Magma members ran off. They probably didn't want they're precious Poocheyenna's hurt.
I shrugged."Oh, well. For now, its not my problem."
"The first gym. Oooh, I'm nervous. Plus, am I shaking?" I asked Plus. This was the first gym. It was a Bug gym. The leader was Trina Kasey.
As soon as I entered the gym, I bumped into a boy with black hair and red eyes."Oh, I'm sorry!" I said, rubbing my head.
"Watch where your going next time." I looked up at him and my eyes widened. He was an Umbreon Pokemorph.
"Your...A pokemorph." I said, a bit suprised.
"Whats it to you?" He asked, glaring.
"Nothing...Its just...I've never met another pokemorph before."
He glanced at me through the corner of his eye,"Whats your name, girl?"
"My name is Seni."
"Buhite. Don't run into anyone anymore." Then he walked off.
"Hm..." I heard a boom inside the gym, and I immidiatly ran in.
"Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!" A girl, probably Trina, was running around the gym like a maniac. The gym was a wreck.
"What happened?!" I asked.
"My Butterfree was stolen!!!" Trina cried.
"Trina, calm down! Now tell me. Was it Team Magma?"
"Yes! They also stole a boy named Buhite's Pidgeotto and my sisters Pichu!"
"Buhite? Did he happen to be an Umbreon Pokemorph?"
"Yes, Why?"
"Never Mind." I turned around."I'll go get the pokemon back. Sit tight." Then I set off to save the pokemon.

Deryck entered the Biovac Institute Environmental Control project which beat off entries from other consultants to take the coveted prize! SSI also entered the Business Excellence, Projects with a value of more than R5-million (Marion Island Research base) and Young Engineer categories. THE PROJECT. The Biovac Institute is a Public Private Partnership with the South African government through the National Department of Health, created to develop a hi-tech infrastructure for vaccine research, development and ultimately, production – the only company in sub-Saharan Africa to do so. The Cleanroom Division of consulting engineering and project management group, SSI successfully completed a design and site supervision contract for the environmental control systems (air conditioning installations) for Biovac Institute's new quality control laboratories in Pinelands, Cape Town. The new Biovac Quality Control (QC) facility was erected on the existing Biovac campus in Pinelands. The existing buildings on the campus date back to the original State Vaccine Institute, although some of these buildings have been upgraded over time. The new QC building is a vast contrast to the existing Public Works style buildings and has brought the campus into the 21st century. The new QC building is the first part of a long term plan for the complete site development. CLIENT BRIEF The Biovac Institute needed to create a Quality Control laboratory that would comply with local and international medicines regulatory GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) requirements. This entailed complying with the requirements of South Africa's MCC (Medicines Control Council), and international GMP guidelines, such as the EU Regulatory Agency, WHO Guidelines and the PIC/s standards. Although the MCC was not a member of PIC/s at the time the facility was designed in accordance with PIC/s standards. (South Africa has now become a member of PIC/s, the Pharmaceutical Inspection Convention/ Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme, and as such all new pharmaceutical and bio-technology manufacturing facilities and laboratories have to comply with PIC/s requirements. After passing stringent entry requirements South Africa's MCC became a member of PIC/s in July 2007, becoming one of 33 member countries.) The new facility was to contain all their new lab requirements as well as a two storey office component linked to the labs. The offices were to face west to maximise the view of Table Mountain. SCOPE OF WORK Deryck Smith, who is a Principal Specialist with SSI's Industrial Sector and is the country's leading specialist in the design of cleanroom Environmental Control Systems (ECS) and mechanical services, explained that the air handling systems at the Biovac Institute serve a number of different areas in the facility. ―The systems have been designed to serve five different areas with different functions and classifications, which refer to cleanroom classes and bio-safety protection levels,‖ he says. 1 The different zones are: general laboratories (Grade D and ISO Class 8 cleanroom classification) a sterile suite for carrying out sterility tests (Grade A and B or ISO Class 5 cleanroom classifications) The sterility tests are carried out under Unidirectional Airflow (previously called laminar flow) protection which is a Grade A condition, while the room background is a Grade B condition. a Bio-Safety Laboratory (Grade D cleanroom classification and Bio-Safety Level 3 containment protection). a future cell culture laboratory (Grade B and C or ISO Class 5 and 7 cleanroom classifications). office air conditioning — a variable volume installation designed to meet comfort requirements only. ―A Cleanroom is an environment in which bacterial and particulate contamination is limited to prescribed levels,‖ Smith explains. ―The Grades A, B, C and so on, refer to cleanroom classifications as stipulated in the European Union Guide to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) GMP Guide. The ISO Classes refer to the relatively new ISO 14644 standards pertaining to the design, construction and testing of cleanrooms. This standard is supplementary to the EU/EEC and WHO standards.‖ ―A Grade A condition would typically be the cleanliness expected under an operating theatre unidirectional airflow system (laminar flow theatre), while a Grade D condition is the cleanliness level expected in a pharmaceutical tablet plant.‖ The relationship between the ISO Standards, EEC Grades and bacterial limits for different classifications is given in the table below. All cleanroom classifications relate to a number of dust particles of specific size per volume of air. ―A Bio-Safety Laboratory (BSL) is designed to contain hazardous substances, with emphasis on preventing these substances from escaping into the atmosphere. These labs have various levels of containment and are classified with protection levels from BSL 1 to BSL 4. The BSL 4 facilities are those that handle the most hazardous products (such as hemorrhagic viruses), while BSL 1 labs provide the lowest level of protection.‖ ―These different levels of protection are defined by the Centre for Disease Control, in Atlanta, USA, and the WHO, in Geneva. The Biovac BSL 3 lab is controlled at a negative pressure relative to ambient to prevent any contaminants from escaping from the lab. All the air exhausted from the lab is passed through High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters to ensure that no contaminants are liberated to atmosphere.‖ At the Biovac Institute, there are four central air handling units (plus one future unit) serving the facility, each provided with chilled water as a cooling medium, from an air cooled chiller. DESIGN CRITERIA The laboratory areas were to comply with the various regulatory Classes as mentioned above. However, the achievement of these classifications requires comprehensive design input. In the cleanroom industry there is very little in the way of design guidelines as how to achieve the required criteria. GMP standards are constantly evolving and becoming more stringent, but the evolution of these standards is not necessarily by way of new guidelines. The new requirements are generally as a result of what regulatory inspectors want and how they interpret the requirements. New criteria also evolve based on a design concept adopted in a new facility, which the inspectors then perceive as a new requirement. As a result it is imperative that the design engineer keep close contact with the various regulatory authorities and also attend international conferences to keep up with any new trends. The Cleanrooms design engineers at SSI regularly attend international conferences on pharmaceutical topics, and also present papers at various conferences. Deryck Smith has written the GMP Guideline on Environmental Control Systems for the WHO, which is now available on the WHO website. He has also written a WHO guideline for Environmental Control Systems for Hormone Manufacturing Plants, which have specific requirements. The BSL 3 labs designed for Biovac have very similar requirements to a hormone plant where the operators and the environment need to be protected from hazardous substances. 2 Creating a clean environment is not achieved by simply adding high efficiency filters to the supply air to the laboratories. The following factors all contribute to achieving the cleanroom environment, and they all need to be in balance with one another in order to be effective: adequate air filtration to remove any contaminants from the supply air high air flushing rates relative to the Class required to dilute internally generated contaminants directional airflow to contain contaminants and prevent cross-contamination correct location of air terminals to ensure adequate air distribution correct sequence of air handling components to prevent re-contamination room pressure differentials between different rooms to ensure containment and prevent cross-contamination. (air typically flows from the cleanest rooms, maintained at a higher room pressure, to less clean rooms, at a lower pressure) attention to room layout – equipment positions relative to airflow directions room finishes – architectural finishes should not liberate particulate matter, should not be able to harbour bacteria and should be easy to clean. room structural integrity – room pressure differentials place additional design requirements on structural integrity. production activity – some production and test processes can liberate contaminants which need to be contained and extracted type of equipment in rooms which could disrupt airflow patterns number of staff – staff are one of the greatest sources of contamination in a cleanroom. staff discipline cleaning SOP's staff flow raw materials flow temperature and humidity Cleanrooms are costly installations and can cost anywhere between three and ten times the cost of a conventional office air conditioning system. In order to achieve an efficient and cost effective cleanroom, one has to optimise all the aforementioned factors, into an integrated facility. The air conditioning system for a cleanroom is generally referred to as an Environmental Control System (ECS) as it is far more complex than conventional air conditioning. The ECS is central to the design of a facility such as this and architectural layout generally needs to be designed around airflow, room pressure and containment requirements. For this reason cleanroom engineers provide a lot of input into architectural layouts, building finishes and structural integrity. Less complex, but still interesting, was the design of the office block air conditioning. The client requirement was for a view of Table Mountain, however, this resulted in a west facing orientation resulting in a conflict between view and sun control. In order to limit high heat loads from the afternoon sun the architect devised a sun control façade which resembles a magnification of a tissue sample. Some of the façade panels were left out to give better view of the mountain. The sun penetrating the façade ―Swiss cheese‖ holes and the missing panels had to be calculated to determine the sun load on the full height windows. A variable volume system was selected for the office installation to reduce running costs and allow only sufficient air supply to match the changing façade heat load. INSTALLATION VALIDATION AND QUALIFICATION The ECS of a pharmaceutical facility such as this, needs to be validated and qualified, which is a regulatory requirement. Validation and Qualification is the process of proving and documenting that the system performs as per the design specification and the Client's User Requirement Specification (URS). Only critical or ―Direct Impact‖ systems and components are qualified, i.e. the items which could have an impact on test accuracy and product quality. A risk assessment approach is used to determine the scope and extent of qualification. In-direct Impact or non-critical components are not subject to qualification, but subject to GEP (Good Engineering Practice) scrutiny. SSI worked together with Biovac's qualification team to provide the 3 necessary test documentation. The OQ (Operational Qualification) report documentation prepared by SSI in conjunction with the ECS contractor entailed the following aspects: Air balancing Room air change rate calculations Room pressurization measurements Filter integrity (DOP) testing of HEPA filters Room particle count testing Control system software functionality tests Instrument calibrations Room temperature monitoring Room relative humidity monitoring Maintenance procedures The Operational Qualification process verified and documented that the systems operated within the required limits and tolerances and that the systems complied with the design requirements. The ISPE (International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineers), of which SSI is a member, advocates the use of the V-diagram below. This indicates the ―Qualification approach to HVAC‖ (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) systems, which indicates the checks and balances between all qualification steps, to constantly ensure compliance at each step. As per GMP requirements each step of the process must be completed and signed off before the next step can proceed. A Qualification approach for HVAC Systems Model for "Direct Impact" systems User Requirement PQ Test Plan Performance (ie. What) Qualification Functional Design OQ Test Plan Operational (ie. How as schematic) (inc.FAT) Qualification Design Development IQ Test Plan Installation Detail Design (ie. How to make) Qualification (inc.PDI) Impact Assessment Implementation ISPE Baseline Guide Vol.5 4 CLIENT COMMENT Biovac's CEO, Selwyn Kahanowitz, comments: ―This has been an impressive project. It ran under budget and on time. The professional team, including Deryck Smith, displayed a very high standard of professionalism, careful communication and cooperation throughout its duration. The building makes a positive and bold statement and the laboratories are modern and spacious. On the technical side, the service areas are well organised and finished to the very high level of detail we demand. Anyone would be proud to take an auditor into this space.‖ SSI provides world class cleanroom capabilities to its client base throughout Africa, via a team fully conversant in the unique requirements of engineering on this continent. These services complement the offering of SSI's parent company, DHV, which has a strong cleanroom division operating in Europe and Asia. The Cleanrooms division offers an in-depth knowledge of world class, local and international HACCP (hazard analysis and critical control point) and GMP standards and local and international regulations and requirements, as well as blue chip credentials in terms of qualifications and expertise. These credentials have attracted the attention of global organisations such as the WHO, who requested Smith to prepare HVAC Guidelines relating to pharmaceutical facilities. Smith and his team have also presented numerous workshops and assisted with the training of inspectors for the WHO.

SAN FRANCISCO — Arizona's travel industry has a message for colleagues across the country: Keep close tabs on proposed legislation.
The industry, "blindsided" by Arizona's tough new immigration law, stands to lose $90 million or more in meetings and conventions business because of it, said Debbie Johnson, CEO of the Arizona Hotel & Lodging Association and the Arizona Tourism Alliance.
"We've got 40 canceled groups. More than that, our phones are not ringing," she told an audience at the California Travel Industry Association annual conference. "It breaks my heart that a political issue has become all about tourism."
Adding to the woes is that the Arizona Office of Tourism budget was cut by 70% this spring and one third of its staff was let go. "There's no money" for any advertising, said Johnson, who leads an industry task force that will report to Gov. Jan Brewer June 14 on ways to shore up visitor confidence.
The impact of the immigration law will be felt far into the future because of the lead time of convention bookings, said Steve Moore, president and CEO of the Phoenix Convention & Visitors Bureau.
"When groups cancel or don't book for this year or next, that means we're out of their rotation and they may not come back for many years," he said.
Moore pleaded with industry members to stay on top of potentially harmful legislation before it is enacted.
Johnson and Moore said they believe there isn't much marketing the industry can do in the next month: The law goes into effect July 29, and they are bracing for intense media coverage, more possible boycotts and reaction from jittery meetings and convention planners.
Most of the harm will be in convention and meetings, Johnson said. Because a majority of Americans appear to support the measure, she believes cancellations by leisure travelers disturbed by the law will be offset by those who are not bothered by it.
Joe D'Alessandro, president and CEO of the San Francisco Convention & Visitors Bureau, told the audience that he struggled unsuccessfully to convince city leaders not to vote to boycott Arizona (several other major U.S. cities have since followed suit).
"Travel boycotts don't work. What happens is that working people, a lot of whom are Latinos, are the ones who are hurt. As an industry we have to say that boycotts are wrong."

Contrary to the desires and interests of regional governments, arming and helping the Kurds to fight ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and Levant) in Kobane may be the trigger for the birth of a new nation - Kurdistan. No country in the region wants that but this will be one of the unintended consequences of the break up of Syria and the emergence of ISIL.
With the Middle East at yet another critical juncture and with a sense of common purpose emanating from the region, this is neither the time for straw man moralising or finger pointing. The West should don its realpolitik glasses and use Qatar's status in the area to give a nudge to the consolidation process currently taking place in the Islamic world.

Vineout Questions Lack Of Hearings Here
She wants to know what is going on in Madison. State Senate Democrat Kathleen Vinehout is speaking out against public hearings held by different sections of the state legislature....that in her eyes....continually avoid Western Wisconsin.
First budgets hearings then gun control hearings.
Vinehout says it's gotten so out of hand that bills being voted on now by some state legislators, are not even being read before they vote. So not only do they not have a clue...but the public is being left in the dark as well. She also says those that are facing recall elections are trying to ram bills through before they are voted out of office.
Woman To Join Hubby In Joint
A Lacrosse woman was sentenced to 50 months federal prison time Friday, for her role in a Meth making operation. 27 year old Amber Johnson joins her husband, Travis, as both being sentenced now. He got 90 months last week.
In April of last year, police served a search warrant on their Lacrosse home, and found liquid Meth in jars along with the materials to make Meth.
A federal judge told Johnson that she deserved more time in the pen for the fact that she was making Meth in her home where her two children also lived and they could have been harmed.
4 police agencies were involved in the Meth bust.
UW-L Nabs Huge Grant
An almost $250 thousand grant will help UW-La Crosse undergraduates and area high school students conduct more research on bacterial infections and diseases that affect neurons in the body. The large National Science Foundation grant will allow UW-L researchers to add 15 more undergraduates and high school students to their team to conduct more research on diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Huntington's.
UW-L Chemistry Professor Todd Weaver says the grant, his second consecutive for research on neurodegenerative diseases, speaks highly of the project and UW-L. Less than 15 percent of NSF proposals are funded and the host institution must support the project. Weaver says UW-L administrators have built a very supportive environment to conduct meaningful, hypothesis-driven undergraduate research.
Weaver says the initial grant sparked nine UW-L undergraduates to present posters regionally and nationally, along with three who have co-authored an article in a peer-reviewed top-tier scientific journal. Four students have continued doctorate studies at major research universities such as Yale, UW-Madison, the University of Michigan, and the University of Minnesota.
New Utility Could Get a Vote in June
A new utility in La Crosse will do a couple of things. City water utility manager Mark Johnson says a storm water utility would create a fund for treating run-off as well as dealing with discharge shortcomings that keep parts of the city under water after every serious rain. The utility won't be able to fix all of those issues immediately. It might take decades and cost tens of millions of dollars. The city council could vote on creating a new storm water utility as early as next month. The plan right now would have residences paying just over fifty bucks a year for the new utility. Businesses would pay based on area of impermeable surfaces like parking lots
Bar Owner in Fight With Knife-Wielding, Coke Snorter
Always some excitement when you're in the bar business. A downtown La Crosse bar owner had to fight off a knife-wielding customer this week-end. Police say the owner caught Jose Vera-Mendoza in the bathroom snorting cocaine. The owner told Vera-Mendoza to hit the road. The two fought. The bar owner punched, Vera-Mendoza swung a knife. The owner got knicked on the hand and Vera-Mendoza left. Only to return the next night with a large group of young men, one of them with a gun in his waistband. Vera-Mendoza faces weapons and other charges. Cops are still looking for the guy with the gun.

HRC Calls on VA Gov. McDonnell to Support State's Children in Full-Page Ad
April 6, 2011 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Michael Cole-Schwartz, Former HRC Director of Communications
HRC has taken out a full-page ad [pdf] in tomorrow's Richmond Times-Dispatch, calling on Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell to support regulations that would prevent child welfare agencies from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation, marital status, or religion in the adoption process.
There are currently over one thousand children in the Virginia foster care system waiting to be adopted into a permanent loving home. The proposed regulations would open up hundreds, if not thousands of loving, permanent homes for these children.
Governor McDonnell recently told reporters he opposes the regulations, but has until April 16 to make his formal recommendation to the State Board of Social Services.
For more on this story, check out HRC's Ellen Kahn on last night's DC FOX news.

First steps at new West Cumbria climbing arena
Last updated at 14:45, Friday, 03 May 2013
Maryport's latest £450,000 tourist attraction will open on Monday.
Clip 'n Climb, billed as "so much more than a climbing wall", is set to turn around the Wave Centre's fortunes.
The Irish Street venue is only the second Clip 'n Climb site in Britain.
It is hoped it will attract around 20,000 visitors a year. The first centre, in Exeter, attracts 50,000 people a year.
The climbing arena features an automatic system that pulls users up and down via a rope system.
It is suitable for all ages, and wheelchair users can experience some of the attraction.
On Wednesday, 30 youngsters from the town's Ewanrigg Junior School were among the first to use the arena.
The Wave Centre is owned by Allerdale council and managed by Carlisle Leisure Limited.
Martin Horne, of Carlisle Leisure, said: "We are confident about the product and we already have parties booked in before we open."
The centre's restaurant has also had a £50,000 revamp and has been taken over by Lynne Marsh, of the Lakes College catering department at Lillyhall. It includes new furniture and a new menu.
The investment has come from Allerdale council, which has given £244,000, and Defra, which has contributed £159,000.
Allerdale council leader Alan Smith said he was pleased the council had invested in the Wave Centre rather than turn its back on the venue.
