A week ago we reported that former Michigan State nose tackle Anthony Rashad White reverted back to the Pittsburgh Steelers injured reserve list following him clearing waivers after being waived injured on May 6. On Tuesday, White was waived from the injured reserve list which means that he is fully recovered from whatever injury he may have had. White was signed as an undrafted free agent immediately following the 2013 NFL draft, but according to Bob Labriola of steelers.com, the 335 pound nose tackle showed up to the Steelers rookie camp extremely out of shape. We have yet to find out exactly Read more [...]

Katy Perry Reveals Her Make Out Jams
Katy Perry doesn't want to make out with Drake. She wants to make out to Drake. His music, that is!
Katy Perry doesn't want to make out with Drake. She wants to make out to Drake. His music, that is!
Katy Perry was punchy, if a bit pitchy, at the 2013 iHeartRadio Music Festival -- and you can watch the whole thing here.
Here's one Top 10 that Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry and Britney Spears probably wish they didn't make: The Most Dangerous Celebrities list -- most dangerous for your computer, that is!
Katy Perry shared another preview of 'Prism,' this time in the form of a 30-second snippet of 'Walking on Air,' an uptempo, EDM-lite track. From the audio sample we enjoyed, it appears that Perry is flexing her creative muscles.
Katy Perry is the latest music artist to run afoul of PETA.
Katy Perry and her baby blues cover ELLE Canada for October. Instead of a body shot of the singer wearing a gorgeous, high fashion couture ensemble, the cover image zeroes in on Perry's haunting, crystal blue eyes and her features.
After Katy Perry appeared on 'Good Morning America' last week, a track listing for 'Prism' began circulating. Now, after the Los Angeles listening party for the album, held for select special people (aka the media), a picture of someone holding a piece of paper featuring what is believed to be the deluxe edition track listing has landed on the Interwebs.
Katy Perry and John Mayer are getting super serious, but as anyone who's followed their tumultuous relationship knows, they've had quite a few ups and downs -- including quite a few splits -- in between. Thankfully, though, those are behind them ... and they even inspired Perry's smash hit, 'Roar.'
Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry will help make Saturday nights even more exciting very soon. Both artists are among those set to appear on 'Saturday Night Live' this season, NBC confirmed today (Sept. 9).
Richard Simmons is not only a dancer and a motivator -- he's also a musician, and he's speaking out on Miley Cyrus' much-maligned 2013 MTV VMAs performance as well on his favorite pop star of right now, Katy Perry.
Katy Perry is not just a champion. She is the undisputed queen of the jungle. She will drop the 'ROAR' video on Sept. 5, and she shared the cutest retro-style poster to help promote the premiere. It features the singer in all her leopard-print and leaf loincloth glory. #RAWR!
The Top 40 Pop Songs for September 2013 include some of this year's biggest hits!
This month, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga entered the charts with their new singles. The two singers were joined by Miley Cyrus, who released her twerk-free 'Wrecking Ball,' In addition, Taylor Swift's Ed Sheeran collaboration, 'Everything Has Changed,' is making it's way up the list.

The First Programmatic Sustained Growth and Income Convergence Project for Colombia supports the government's efforts to sustain economic growth and increase productivity. ... Подробнее + The project will achieve this by supporting the implementation of policy reforms in three main areas: pillar 1 will foster solutions to develop infrastructure financing and increasing access to finance for firms; pillar 2 will improve the quality and allocation of productive skills; and pillar 3 will increase productivity by promoting innovation and an efficient regulatory environment. The program development objectives are to, i) improve the access to financial markets for road infrastructure investments and firms, ii) improve training, build productive skills and improve its allocation, and iii) strengthen regulations that affect innovation and business efficiency, as means to support sustained growth and income convergence. The project is the first in a series of two programmatic development policy loans (DPLs) under a single tranche. This first DPL of the programmatic operation supports a set of initial reforms which are expected to contribute to long term-growth. In particular, the first DPL supports key reforms that are grouped in three pillars: actions under pillar 1 foster solutions to develop private infrastructure financing and increase access to finance for firms; pillar 2 includes actions aimed at improving the quality and allocation of productive skills; and pillar 3 supports actions to promote innovation and improving business regulations.

The Agricultural Development Support Project for Zambia has a satisfactory outcome rating. The rick to development is low or negligible; the Bank's performance is satisfactory; and the borrower's performance is satisfactory. ... Подробнее + This project supports increased commercialization of smallholder agriculture through improved productivity, quality and efficiency of value chains where smallholders participate. The project development objective was not changed during implementation. With respect to the key performance indicators, the mid-term review noted that the National Coordination Office (NCO) faced issues in regularly updating the indicators due to unclear data collection methodology and analysis between the NCO and the project implementing agencies (IAs). The indicators were therefore revised to better link to the components and logically reflect the impact of ongoing activities specifically supported by the project. The revised key performance indicators were: i) agricultural exports for target value chains (tons/year); ii) targeted commodities produced by smallholder householders (tons/year); iii) smallholder households growing targeted crops (number); iv) average income per household in targeted areas; and v) direct project beneficiaries (number), of which females (percent). Improved value chain productivity, quality and efficiency were assessed using above key performance indicators in terms of increases in volumes and numbers. There are six major lessons learned from the project. First, innovations in project design, which the project had in the Market Improvement and Innovation Facility and Rural Roads Improvement Facility components, should address capacity limitations upfront in order to assure implementation success. In general, projects of this type need to take into account country capacity in project. Second, the OPRC-type contract, where road rehabilitation design includes sufficient resources and practical arrangements for post-rehabilitation maintenance for several years, combined in one contract proved successful. Third, the link between producers and markets is critical in a project that seeks to increase commercialization in agriculture. Fourth, strengthening government core functions can build private sector trust in government. Fifth, good continuous monitoring; periodic and regular evaluation; and quality impact assessments played an important role in learning from the project throughout implementation, and once it was completed. Sixth, flexibility and being opportunistic in implementation was key to the success of this project. Менее подробно –
Отчет о завершении и результатах проекта ICR3122 NOV 06, 2014
At the end of 2011, the Indian power sector found itself in financial crisis, just a decade after the 2001 bailout of state electricity boards (SEBs) by the central government. ... Подробнее + Bankrupt state power distribution utilities in several states were unable to pay their bills or repay their debts. Despite the passage of the landmark 2003 Electricity Act and implementation of a broad set of reforms over the past decade, the sector today is looking at another rescue from the center, four times larger than before. This financial rescue scheme amounts to about Rs 1.9 trillion ($42 billion) and was instigated by the nonperforming assets of the banks and other financial institutions. The Electricity Act was envisaged to create independent companies functioning on commercial principles, but they are still far away from that goal. This report presents a diagnostic of the financial and operational performance of segments in the power sector value chain between adoption of the Electricity Act, 2003, and 2011, including analysis of the factors that contributed to the recent crisis. The report focuses on efficiency and productivity, whether performance has improved over time, and which states have emerged as performance leaders. Analysis of this kind is not new or unique, but this report aims to integrate historical performance, the current situation, future projections of the impact of worsening sector finances, and the actions that need to be taken to check the downturn. The report draws primarily from utility data collected by the Power Finance Corporation in successive years on utilities operational and financial performance. The Power Finance Corporation data were collated into a single database with the addition of various operational parameters at the plant level and the utility level from the Central Electricity Authority.

The International Comparison Program (ICP) is a large and highly complex worldwide statistical program conducted under the charter of the United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC). ... Подробнее + The ICP is designed to provide globally comparable economic aggregates in national accounts that can be used by individual researchers, analysts, and policy makers at the national and international levels and by international organizations such as the European Union, International Monetary Fund, Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), United Nations, and World Bank. Over its lifetime, the ICP has become the principal source of data on the purchasing power parities (PPPs) of currencies, measures of real per capita income, and measures of real gross domestic product (GDP) and its main components from the expenditure side, including private consumption, government expenditures, and gross fixed capital formation. Indeed, since its inception in 1970, successive rounds of the ICP have produced valuable data for international economic analyses of economic growth and the catch-up and convergence of incomes among nations; productivity levels and trends; analyses of systematic patterns in national price levels and trends; construction of the Human Development Index by the United Nations; measures of regional and global inequality in incomes and consumption; and estimates of the incidence of absolute poverty using World Bankdeveloped yardsticks such as the US$1 a day and $2 a day poverty lines.

Подробнее + The proposed additional financing will continue IDA support to the GoSindhs efforts to achieve the objective.

The global economic recovery remains uneven, as growth in the United States is gaining momentum but appears to be at risk of stalling in the Euro Area and Japan. ... Подробнее + U.S. growth is expected to gain pace over the rest of the year and into 2015 as employment prospects boost real income growth and confidence. Following the Euro Areas exit from recession in 2013, GDP was flat in 2014, and preliminary data for the third quarter suggest slowing growth momentum amid weak domestic demand, ongoing balance sheet adjustments, a fragmented banking sector, and rising geopolitical risks. In Japan, a sales tax hike in April caused a more significant contraction in activity than expected, while exports failed to pick up. Менее подробно –

The development objective of the Sustainable Agriculture Transformation Project for Vietnam is to contribute to the deployment and implementation of the agricultural restructuring plan (ARP) by providing capacity building and organizational development to the sector and re-organizing production to increase value addition and sustainability of rice and coffee sub-sectors in two key commodity production zones of Vietnam such as Mekong delta and Central Highlands regions. ... Подробнее + Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: (1) providing capacity building (CB) and organizational development (OD) to ministry of agriculture and rural development (MARD), selected provincial department of agriculture and rural development (DARDs), other public sector agencies, and value chain actors (including banks); (2) increasing rice farmers income, reducing negative environmental impacts from rice intensified farming, and enhancing the competitiveness of the rice sector; (3) increasing coffee farmers incomes and reducing negative environmental impacts of intensive coffee production via adoption of sustainable farming practices; and (4) providing necessary training, equipment, facilities, and operating costs for the performance of monitoring and evaluation (M and E), financial management, procurement, long-term and short-term technical assistance for project management, developing an M and E system for the project in line with the automated teller machine (AMT) established by ministry of planning and investment.

A new database on the barriers faced by foreign suppliers of services has been produced by the World Bank. Data for 103 countries are available on 11 of the most important services sectors in international trade. ...

Compared with estimates available in the literature that are based on assessments of country- and sector-specific barriers to services providers, the estimates expand the set of sectors and more than triple the set of countries for which estimates of the ad valorem equivalents of the services barriers are available.

Is there a "middle income trap"? Theory suggests that the determinants of growth at low and high income levels may be different. If countries struggle to transition from growth strategies that are effective at low income levels to growth strategies that are effective at high income levels, they may stagnate at some middle income level; this phenomenon can be thought of as a "middle income trap." ... Подробнее + This paper does not find evidence for (unusual) stagnation at any particular middle income level. However, it does find evidence that the determinants of growth at low and high income levels differ. These findings suggest a mixed conclusion: middle-income countries may need to change growth strategies to transition smoothly to high-income growth strategies, but this can be done smoothly and does not imply the existence of a middle income trap.

This paper constructs indicators of structural bottlenecks arising from barriers to open markets, obstacles to business operations, and constraints to access to finance. ... Подробнее + Empirical evidence from a sample of 30 emerging economies indicates that barriers to open markets and access to finance are significantly associated with differences in total factor productivity growth in the post-global financial crisis period compared with the pre-crisis period -- with countries with fewer barriers showing stronger recovery and resilience. Barriers to access to finance are also associated with differences in the performance of private investment. Reforms to improve the policy framework in these areas, up to the level of the best-ranking countries, could offset the recently observed growth slowdown in emerging economies. These reforms would revitalize potential growth and mitigate the risks from external shocks associated with the global environment in the transition from the global financial crisis. Менее подробно –

This paper provides the first systematic empirical assessment of the pace at which housing investment has responded to rising demand from urbanization. ... Подробнее + The assessment used National Accounts Statistics to build a data set of residential housing investment for more than 90 countries. The data set explicitly accounts for investment by households, the government, and the private sector. The analysis finds that housing investment follows an S-shaped trajectory taking off around per capita GDP of about $3,000 (US$2005) and tapering down at per capita GDP around $36,000 (US$2005). The analysis also finds that between 2001 and 2011, housing investment in low-income economies averaged 4.56 percent of gross domestic product and 9.12 percent in upper-middle-income economies. An important finding is that countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have housing elasticities similar to comparable low-income and lower-middle-income economies. In financing housing investment, the paper finds that developing countries tend to rely much more on domestic savings and government debt, whereas high-income Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries lever capital markets by tapping foreign savings. Not only does excessive reliance on domestic savings and government debt increase the sensitivity of housing investment to the cyclicality of growth of gross domestic product, it also can potentially crowd out investments in health and education.

The development objective of the Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) Management in the Power Sector Project for Lebanon is to assist in establishing a sound PCB management system that would minimize potential environmental and health risks from unmanaged PCB oils and equipment. ... Подробнее + The project involves the handling, packaging, transportation of and disposal of PCB equipment and wastes, and remediation of sites contaminated with PCB hazardous chemicals. Negative impacts include: absence of adequate measures to handle increase in volume of hazardous waste; quality deterioration of segregated material coupled with increased risk of PCB release into the different environmental media; release of PCBs into the environmental media as a result of exposing the mixed waste to extreme weather conditions such as heat and rain and accelerating the release of PCB compounds into the environment through evaporation or leachate production; specific populations will be exposed to health risks by direct contact with the contaminated waste, inhalation or accidental ingestion. Mitigation measures for soil, air and water quality, waste generation, health and safety, biodiversity, traffic and socioeconomic issues include: proper storage and handling of hazardous materials; maintenance and wash down of vehicles; provision of adequate sanitary facilities; proper draining and packaging of contaminated transformers; careful handling and management of out-of-service capacitors and in-service transformers; monitoring of wells; dust suppression; conservation of existing vegetation; reuse and recycling wherever possible; access restriction to construction site; provision of potable water and first aid kits, training and fire prevention strategies.

Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ) is a healing art similar to other Asian practices such as acupuncture and acupressure. Although usually described as bodywork or energy work, JSJ is a "Physio-Philosophy" - an ancient art and system of bringing about balance of ki (chi or energy) in the body, restoring health and well-being. Whether your goal is relaxation and stress reduction, better overall health, or improvement in a specific health condition, Jin Shin Jyutsu can help, and is fun and easy to learn and do. In this class, you will learn some of the basics about JSJ and how to do a variety of self-help exercises that can also be shared with friends and family.
About the instructor:
Stephanie Temkin, RM/T is a traditional Japanese energy healing (Reiki and Jin Shin Jyutsu) practitioner and instructor with a background in community health and medical research that gives her a unique integrative perspective. In the process of investigating non-Western healing methods to address her own injuries, Stephanie was introduced to Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ) in 2001, began study two years later, and became a practitioner in 2004.

Palicomp Warranty not delivering as stated
Likes # 0
Posted December 22, 2012 at 4:16PM
I bought an excellent PC from palicomp a couple of years ago along with a carefree warranty. I recently added a hard disk to the system but unfortunately the SATA port which I was connecting the disk to was loose and as a result it snapped off the motherboard. I checked the warranty that id purchased with the pc, and found a paragraph that states, "Your PC is also covered against any accidental damage that may occur when upgrading your PC with other components." Great I thought. I contacted Palicomp by email and explained what had happened, surprisingly I was told that the PC wasn't covered for accidental damage although it stated this in the warranty. I pointed this out to the technician, and was told I could send the unit back and there would be a charge. This doesn't sound correct to me as it clearly states in the warranty that accidental damage is covered. What would be the best way to follow this up
Best regards

Perhaps a formal letter to the company with a copy of the terms etc..Give them a time in which to respond and advise them that if they still refuse to act in accordance with the warranty, you will consider legal action. Make sure however that you are certain you are in the right !

I would contact them again and quote the information in the T&Cs again. Strangely, though, I can only find information about their base warranty on their site. No mention of the carefree warranty. If still no luck then someone here will be able to suggest how to take the complaint forward.

Hi guys, thanks for your reply. This is how the agreement reads
This PC is covered by Palicomps Carefree Warranty. In the unlikely event that this PC should suffer any issues involving hardware or software and Palicomp cannot resolve them by phone or e-mail, we will collect*,repair and return your PC to you completely free of charge for 5-Years from date of delivery.
Your PC is also covered against any accidental damage that may occur when upgrading your PC with other components. If using the carefree option then please always quote your Palicomp reference number and contact [email protected] or 01270 898 078. The carefree warranty is essentially an all cover warranty which will give you peace of mind for your computer for a term of 5-years from purchase. This will cover you for Hardware faults, software issues, accidental damage, Remote Software access and all carriage fees. This means that if you were to suffer a hardware failure within the 5-year period,Palicomp, if not able to fix via e-mail or phone, will arrange collection via courier to bring it back to our workshops and resolve issues here and then send back out via the same courier. This is all free of charge. We will also help you out should you have any software issues or conflicts that you cannot resolve and the bonus comes from the accidental damage. Obviously this isn't an insurance that covers from dropping down the stairs etc, but if you choose to upgrade your PC and damage the machine in the process, then we will still cover this under the warranty for you. The way all the above differs from the standard warranty is as follows: Standard RTB warranty

What worries me is your quote, the SATA port which I was connecting the disk to was loose and as a result it snapped off the motherboard. To snap off a Sata socket from a mobo would take some doing. It would mean that it either left a hole in the motherboard, or the socket was prised off with rough handling. Take a photo of the damage you've caused explaining that you thought the socket was loose when you connected the sata cable the first time. Send that photo with your email.
See if they will consider that it was a motherboard weakness, and it does happen, rather than heavy handedness.

From what you've said about your warranty terms it looks to me as though you are covered by an unconditional warranty term. The sentence "Obviously this isn't an insurance that covers from dropping down the stairs etc, but if you choose to upgrade your PC and damage the machine in the process, then we will still cover this under the warranty for you." is unequivocal, and unless there is a small print qualifying clause I recommend that you pursue the matter with the supplier.
A warranty is a warranty,and is binding on the company that issues it.
You would be well advised to state your claim in writing - an email will be fine.Tell the company that you expect it to honour the warranty it gave, and that you expect a response within 14 days. Perhaps you'll keep us updated as things progress.

If you have trouble with the supplier regarding the warranty, then you can or might have the advantage of Section 75 of the Credit Consumer Act, if you paid by credit card or a computer finance package, of which the warranty was part of the purchase deal.
I once had a 'Peace of Mind' warranty, that the retailer would not honour. Section 75 eventually came to the rescue.
But make fully sure that you are covered for accidents that you have described?.

To see something clearly, the light coming from the object we are looking at has to be focused on the retina at the back of the eye. This focusing is done by changes in the lenses in our eyes, just as a camera lens has to be adjusted for near and distant objects.
A relaxed normal eye will naturally focus very distant objects. When looking at something nearby, special muscles change the shape of the lens, which is quite flexible, so that the image is focused precisely on the retina. This change in shape of the lens is called accommodation.
As we get older, our lenses lose their flexibility and ability to accommodate. Focusing on close objects becomes increasingly difficult. This is why many people with 'normal' eyes will need reading glasses some time after the age of 40. This is a natural process called presbyopia.
In short-sightedness (myopia) the relaxed lens focuses distant objects somewhere in front of the retina and they are not seen clearly. Glasses or contact lenses with special lenses which 'diverge' the light are needed for distant vision, often from an early age. However, when close objects are looked at the lens does not need to change its shape, which is why people with myopia often never require reading glasses.
In long-sightedness (hyperopia) the opposite occurs. Distant objects are naturally focused behind the retina. However, the eye muscles, through accommodation, alter the lens shape and glasses are often not needed initially. Close objects are also seen clearly because of increased accommodation. However, as the lens loses its flexibility this increased accommodation cannot be achieved. Thus long-sighted people will need reading glasses at a younger age (often around 30) and may eventually need glasses or contact lenses for distant vision also, as the ability of the lens to change its shape gradually declines.

The confidence of speech-language pathology students regarding communicating with people with aphasia

BMC Medical Education 2013, 13:92 doi:10.1186/1472-6920-13-92Published: 27 June 2013
Aphasia is an acquired language disorder that can present a significant barrier to patient involvement in healthcare decisions. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are viewed as experts in the field of communication. However, many SLP students do not receive practical training in techniques to communicate with people with aphasia (PWA) until they encounter PWA during clinical education placements.
This study investigated the confidence and knowledge of SLP students in communicating with PWA prior to clinical placements using a customised questionnaire. Confidence in communicating with people with aphasia was assessed using a 100-point visual analogue scale. Linear, and logistic, regressions were used to examine the association between confidence and age, as well as confidence and course type (graduate-entry masters or undergraduate), respectively. Knowledge of strategies to assist communication with PWA was examined by asking respondents to list specific strategies that could assist communication with PWA.
SLP students were not confident with the prospect of communicating with PWA; reporting a median 29-points (inter-quartile range 17–47) on the visual analogue confidence scale. Only, four (8.2%) of respondents rated their confidence greater than 55 (out of 100). Regression analyses indicated no relationship existed between confidence and students' age (p = 0.31, r-squared = 0.02), or confidence and course type (p = 0.22, pseudo r-squared = 0.03). Students displayed limited knowledge about communication strategies. Thematic analysis of strategies revealed four overarching themes; Physical, Verbal Communication, Visual Information and Environmental Changes. While most students identified potential use of resources (such as images and written information), fewer students identified strategies to alter their verbal communication (such as reduced speech rate).
SLP students who had received aphasia related theoretical coursework, but not commenced clinical placements with PWA, were not confident in their ability to communicate with PWA. Students may benefit from an educational intervention or curriculum modification to incorporate practical training in effective strategies to communicate with PWA, before they encounter PWA in clinical settings. Ensuring students have confidence and knowledge of potential communication strategies to assist communication with PWA may allow them to focus their learning experiences in more specific clinical domains, such as clinical reasoning, rather than building foundation interpersonal communication skills.

ACLU sends property association letter about free speech
by MBJ Staff
Published: May 15,2013
Tags: civil liberty, freedom of speech, legal, letter, political campaign, Politics
DIAMONDHEAD — The American Civil Liberties Union of Mississippi has sent an open letter to the Diamondhead Property Owners Association (POA) on behalf of several residents of the City of Diamondhead who have complained that the POA's rules, regulations and covenants do not permit them to display political yard signs or engage in door-to-door campaigning.
The City of Diamondhead is in the midst of its first municipal elections since incorporation in 2012.
In the open letter, the ACLU called on the POA to assure residents that it would refrain from enforcing its covenants, rules, and regulations that impermissibly violate its members' First Amendment rights.
Bear Atwood, legal director of the ACLU of Mississippi, notes that the city and the POA are so intertwined that the POA has become a "state actor subject to the demands of the Constitution."
"The POA claims the authority to censor any speech that it deems inappropriate in nearly all residential areas of the city," said Atwood. "As a result, neither residents of Diamondhead nor candidates for political office enjoy the same rights to free speech as their counterparts in other municipalities."

The spoils of soil recovery
Soil is collected from municipal and infrastructure projects and sent to one of three collection sites.
City of Fort Collins
The soil is screened 5 to 10 times to remove debris such as concrete, asphalt, and scrap metal.
Concrete, asphalt, and scrap metal are removed and set aside to be recycled.
The reclaimed soil is reused at utility infrastructure projects, saving the city money from purchasing new soil in addition to reduced landfill fees and fuel costs.
Recovered soil from the irrigation damage as a result of the 2013 went to companies to repair flood damage.
Table 1: Project Cost Summary
Table 2: Material Volumes
Exhibit 1: Material Volume per Year
Like many cities, Fort Collins, Colo., set aggressive goals to curb air, water, and land pollution. Its approach, however, sets it apart. A soil recycling program launched by one public works department is spreading to others, moving the city slowly but surely toward landfilling 80% less waste by 2020.
The idea came from the Utilities Department's Water Field Operations, which manages drinking water, wastewater conveyance, and stormwater. Digging up the ground for repairs and maintenance generates 18,000 cubic yards of debris every year, most of which is too wet or mixed to be immediately reused for backfill. Instead of buying new material to finish repairs, crews thought, why not recycle what was already there?
Separating concrete, wood, asphalt, tile pipe, twisted metal, and other junk from the dirt required the department to buy a wheel loader and rock screen. Two-thirds of the $254,000 investment was funded by a grant from the city's Waste Innovation Program, which supports pilot diversion programs. Launched in June 2013, the project is expected to pay for itself in less than three years.
About one-quarter of the reclaimed soil is reused on infrastructure projects. Another one-quarter is used for daily landfill cover. Recovered metal goes to a scrap contractor, wood to a commercial composter.
The streets department, which crushes recovered asphalt, concrete, and tiles for road-base, recently bought equipment that employees think will increase the diversion rate to 75%.
"One of my favorite parts of this project has been an active new relationship between our streets and utilities departments," says Senior Environmental Planner Susie Gordon. "The crews are talking amongst themselves about taking recovery to an even higher level by running the final pile of debris through their new Powerscreen."
