What is Mining?
- EPA has jurisdiction to regulate solid wastes from mining activities in the United States under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). However, the current program focuses primarily on hardrock mining (i.e. mining of metallic ores and
phosphate rock)
- There are approximately 1200 active extraction and beneficiation hardrock mining sites operating in the United States at this time
- Mining practices have changed dramatically over the last 20 years (e.g., cyanide "heap leaching" of gold has become widespread), creating new environmental and human health challenges and leading to a resurgence of mining activities in many areas of the country.
- Copper and gold mines comprise 80% of the facilities in the United States. Nevada is the most active with approximately 150 gold mines.
- In a general sense, Extraction is the initial removal of ore from the earth.
- In a general sense, Beneficiation is the initial attempt at liberating and concentrating the valuable mineral from the extracted ore. This is typically performed by employing various crushing, grinding and froth flotation techniques. The remaining material is often physically and chemically similar to the material (ore or mineral) that entered the operation, except that particle size reduction has often occurred.
- The extraction and beneficiation of minerals necessarily leads to the generation of large quantities of waste, approximately 1.5 billion tons annually (85 percent of which are solids).
---Total waste (waste rock and tailings) produced during the extraction and beneficiation of minerals can range from 10% of the total material removed from the earth (potash) to more than 99.99% (gold).
-- In 1992, the gold mining industry generated about 540,661,000 metric tons of waste and the copper mining industry generated 731,065,000 metric tons; potash, on the other hand, generated 197,000 metric tons (Bureau of Mines, 1992). To put these quantities in perspective, about 200,000,000 metric tons of municipal solid waste are generated in the United States each year. (National Hardrock Mining Strategy, US EPA, 1997).
What is Mineral Processing?
- Mineral Processing generally generates waste streams that generally bear little or no resemblance to the materials that entered the operation. These operations most often destroy the physical structure of the mineral, producing product and waste streams that are not earthen in character.
- The Agency estimates there are approximately 500 mineral processing plants in the United States which generate about 500 million tons of waste per year.
- Mineral processing operations generally follow beneficiation and include techniques that often change the chemical composition of the ore or mineral, such as smelting, electrolytic refining and acid attack or digestion.
-- Some mineral processing operations are indistinguishable from chemical and refining plants.
-- These operations usually change the physical structure of the mineral. For example, concentrated ores are heated to produce a product metal, a slag, air pollution control dust, and acid plant blowdown.
- Twenty mineral processing wastes, specified in the September 1, 1989 final rule (54 FR 36592), qualify for the Bevill Exclusion as "low toxicity, high volume wastes." The remainder of mineral processing wastes are regulated under RCRA and are newly subject to Land Disposal Restrictions according to the Agency's recent May 26, 1998 final rule (63 FR 28555).
What is the Bevill Exclusion to RCRA?
- Much of RCRA's history in mining regulation has involved rulemakings designed to determine which mining and mineral processing waste streams should be regulated as "hazardous waste."
- In October, 1980, RCRA was amended by adding section 3001(b)(3)(A)(ii), known as the Bevill exclusion, to exclude "solid waste from the extraction, beneficiation, and processing of ores and minerals" from regulation as hazardous waste under Subtitle C of RCRA. This exclusion held pending completion of a study and a Report to Congress, required by section 8002 (f) and (p), and pending a determination by the EPA Administrator either to promulgate regulations under Subtitle C or to declare such regulations unwarranted.
What does "Uniquely Associated" mean ?
- A waste must be uniquely associated with mining and mineral processing to be subject to the Bevill exclusion. If a waste is not uniquely associated with mining or mineral processing it may be subject to regulation under RCRA Subtitle C.
- The concept of "uniquely associated" has been used consistently by the EPA as a factor in determining which wastes remain
eligible for the Bevill Amendment. 1 Only wastes that are uniquely associated with primary mineral production operations are eligible for special waste status. 2
- Non-uniquely associated wastes are typically generated as a result of maintaining mining machinery or as a result of other facility activities. Many of these wastes are identical to wastes generated by non-mining or non-mineral processing industries and would be subject to Subtitle C requirements if they exhibit a hazardous characteristic or are listed as hazardous under Subtitle C of RCRA.
- It should be noted that spills of certain materials require appropriate reporting actions on the part of the facility operator. If the spilled substance has a Reportable Quantity limit and that limit is exceeded, then the facility operator must report the incident to the appropriate regulatory authority.
This requirement has been established by EPA pursuant to CERCLA and is not affected by the Bevill mining exclusion.
- EPA has restated and clarified its position on "uniquely associated" in the May 26, 1998 final rule (63 FR 28555). In the Agency's view the following qualitative criteria should be used to make such determinations on a case-by-case basis:
- Any wastes from ancillary operations are not "uniquely associated" because they are not properly viewed as being "from" mining or mineral processing.
- In evaluating wastes from non-ancillary operations, one must consider the extent to which the waste originates or derives from processes that serve to remove mineral values from the ground, concentrate or otherwise enhance their characteristics to remove impurities, and the extent to which the mineral recovery process imparts its chemical characteristics to the waste.
- Any wastes from ancillary operations are not "uniquely associated" because they are not properly viewed as being "from" mining or mineral processing.
What are Extraction and Beneficiation Wastes?
- EPA modified its hazardous waste regulations in November 1980 to reflect the Bevill Amendment (a.k.a. the "Mining Waste Exclusion") and issued a preliminary, and quite broad, interpretation of the scope of its coverage. In particular, EPA interpreted the exclusion to include "solid waste from the exploration, mining, milling, smelting and refining of ores and minerals"
- In 1984, EPA was sued for failing to submit the Report to Congress and make the required regulatory determination by the statutory deadline (Concerned Citizens of Adamstown v. EPA 84-3041 DDC August 21, 1985).
- - In responding to this lawsuit, the Agency explained that it planned to propose a narrower interpretation of the scope of the Mining Waste Exclusion, so that it would encompass fewer wastes, and proposed to the Court two schedules: One for completing the section 8002 studies of extraction and beneficiation wastes and submitting the Report to Congress addressing these wastes, and one for proposing and promulgating a reinterpretation for mineral processing wastes.
- - In so doing, the Agency, in effect, split the wastes that might be eligible for exclusion from regulation into two groups: (1) extraction and beneficiation wastes, and (2) mineral processing wastes. The Court agreed to this approach and established a schedule for the two tasks.
- On December 31, 1985, EPA published the required Report to Congress on Wastes from the Extraction and Beneficiation of metallic Ores, Phosphate Rock, Asbestos, Overburden from Uranium Mining, and Oil Shale, and on July 3, 1986 published a determination that regulation of such wastes under subtitle C of RCRA was not warranted (51 FR 24496). The report stated (pp. ES-15):
Of the 1.3 billion metric tons of wastes that EPA estimates will be generated by extraction and beneficiation in 1985, about 61 million metric tons (5 percent) exhibit the characteristics of corrosivity and EP (extraction procedure) toxicity. Another 23 million metric tons (2 percent) are beneficiation wastes contaminated with cyanide. Also, there are 182 million metric tons (14 percent) of copper leach dump material and 95 million metric tons (7 percent) of copper mill tailings with the potential for release of acidic and toxic liquids. If waste with radioactivity content greater than 5 picocuries per gram is considered hazardous, the hazardous volume is 443 million metric tons (34 percent) from the phosphate and uranium segments; if waste with radioactivity greater than 20 picocuries per gram is considered hazardous, the total is 93 million metric tons (7 percent). Four asbestos mines generated about 5 million metric tons (less than 1 percent) of waste with a chrysotile content greater than 5 percent.
- In the 1985 Report to Congress and 1986 Regulatory Determination, EPA found that some mining has caused significant environmental damage and raised specific concerns associated with cyanide used in gold mining and with acid rock drainage. However, EPA concluded that Subtitle C was not warranted for these wastes, primarily because of the large volumes and perceived isolated locations of mines.
- However, the Agency also stated in the 1986 Regulatory Determination:
The Agency, however, is concerned about certain actual and potential mining waste problems, and therefore plans to develop a program for mining waste under Subtitle D of RCRA. The long-term effectiveness of this program depends on available State resources for designing and implementing a program tailored to the needs of each State, and on EPA's ability to oversee and enforce the program. As noted below in section VI, EPA will be working with the States to determine the specific nature of their current mining waste activities and their future plans to administer such programs. The Administration will work with Congress to develop expanded Subtitle D authority (i.e., Federal oversight and enforcement) to support an effective State-implemented program for mining waste. EPA has already made preliminary contacts with Congress and intends to hold detailed discussions on the specifics of the Subtitle D program in the coming year. In the interim, EPA will use RCRA section 7003 and CERCLA sections 104 and 106 to protect against substantial threats and imminent hazards. If EPA is unable to develop an effective mining waste program under Subtitle D, the Agency may find it necessary to use Subtitle C authority in the future.
What is the Definition of Extraction and Beneficiation?
- The Agency further discusses the definitions of Extraction and Beneficiation in its September 1, 1989 final rule (54 FR 36592).
The [1985] RTC defines beneficiation as "the treatment of ore to concentrate its valuable constituents" [(Report to Congress on wastes from Extraction and Beneficiation of Metallic Ores, Phosphate Rock, Asbestos, Overburden from Uranium Mining, and Oil Shale (RTC), p. D-1)]. While the RTC did not attempt to articulate a comprehensive list of beneficiation operations, procedures or techniques, it did expound on the definition by describing beneficiation processes as including Physical/chemical separation techniques such as gravity concentration, magnetic separation, electrostatic separation, flotation, ion exchange, solvent extraction, electrowinning, precipitation, and amalgamation" [(1985 RTC, pp. 2-15)]. In addition, the RTC explicitly includes leaching operations as an integral part of the extraction and beneficiation domain and labels the leachate as a "beneficiation solution" [(1985 RTC, pp. 2-16, D-4)].
While this definition serves well as a foundation for making a distinction between beneficiation and mineral processing, the list in the RTC is not an all-inclusive list of beneficiation processes and several points of clarification are necessary regarding application of this RTC definition to real-life operations. For example, the RTC list does not include milling techniques such as crushing, grinding, washing, filtration, sorting, and sizing, or agglomeration techniques such as sintering, pelletizing, and briquetting that both industry and EPA consider to be beneficiation operations.
- In the September 1, 1989 rulemaking, the Agency identified other activities it considered to be within the realm of beneficiation, and in particular discussed the status of activities using heat and acid. The full list of beneficiation activities has been codified at 40 CFR 261.4(b)(7):
Beneficiation operations include crushing, grinding, washing, dissolution, crystallization, filtration, sorting, sizing, drying, sintering, pelletizing, briquetting, calcining, roasting in preparation for leaching (to produce a final or intermediate product that does not undergo further beneficiation or processing), gravity concentration, magnetic separation, electrostatic separation, flotation, ion exchange, solvent extraction, electrowinning, precipitation, amalgamation, and heap, dump, vat, tank, and in situ leaching.
What are Mineral Processing Wastes?
- In October, 1985, EPA proposed to narrow the scope of the Mining Waste Exclusion for mineral processing wastes to include only a few specific waste streams. However, the Agency did not specify the criteria that it used to identify these wastes or to distinguish them from other wastes that were not identified as being eligible for the exclusion. In response to this proposal, many companies and industry organizations "nominated" wastes that they believed were eligible for the regulatory exemption.
- Faced with an inability at that time to articulate criteria that could be used to distinguish exempt from non-exempt wastes and the approaching Court-ordered deadline for final action, EPA withdrew its proposal on October 9, 1986.
- In July, 1988, the court in Environmental Defense Fund v. EPA (852 F.2d 1316 (D.C. Cir. 1988)) held that EPA's withdrawal of its 1985 proposal was arbitrary and capricious, and ordered EPA to reinterpret the scope of the Exclusion for mineral processing wastes. In particular, EPA was directed by the court to restrict the scope of the Exclusion as it applied to mineral processing wastes to include only "large volume, low hazard" wastes.
- This rulemaking process was completed with the publication of final rules on September 1, 1989 (54 FR 36592) and January 23, 1990 (55 FR 2322) which defined the scope of the exclusion.
- In July 1990, EPA completed the required Report to Congress on Mineral Processing Waste. This report studied 20 specific mineral processing wastes based on volume and hazard criteria.
- EPA did not complete the regulatory determination within the six month statutory deadline. As a result, the Environmental Defense Fund filed a new RCRA citizen's suit.
- EPA satisfied the decree by publishing a final rule and regulatory determination on June 13, 1991. This rule exempted the 20 mineral processing wastes.
The "special 20" mineral processing wastes, as listed at 40 CFR 261.4(b)(7), are:
- Slag from primary copper processing
- Slag from primary lead processing
- Red and brown muds from bauxite refining
- Phosphogypsum from phosphoric acid production
- Slag from elemental phosphorus production
- Gasifier ash from coal gasification
- Process wastewater from coal gasification
- Calcium sulfate wastewater treatment plant sludge from primary copper processing
- Slag tailings from primary copper processing
- Fluorogypsum from hydrofluoric acid production
- Process wastewater from hydrofluoric acid production
- Air pollution control dust/ sludge from iron blast furnaces
- Iron blast furnace slag
- Treated residue from roasting/ leaching of chrome ore
- Process wastewater from primary magnesium processing by the anhydrous process
- Process wastewater from phosphoric acid production
- Basic oxygen furnace and open hearth furnace air pollution control dust/sludge from carbon steel production
- Chloride process waste solids from titanium tetrachloride production
- Slag from primary zinc processing
- These 20 mineral processing waste streams are exempt from regulation under RCRA Subtitle C
What is the Definition of Mineral Processing?
- The Agency discusses the definition of mineral processing in the September 1, 1989 rulemaking (54 FR 36592).
For purposes of this rule, mineral processing wastes are generated by operations downstream of beneficiation and originate from a mineral processing operation as defined by the following elements:
- Excluded Bevill wastes must be solid wastes as defined by EPA.
- Excluded solid wastes must be uniquely associated with mineral industry operations
- Excluded solid wastes must originate from mineral processing operations that possess all of the following attributes:
- Follow beneficiation of an ore or mineral (if applicable);
- Serve to remove the desired product from an ore or mineral, or from a beneficiated ore or mineral, or enhance the characteristics of ores or minerals, or beneficiated ores or minerals;
- Use mineral-value feedstocks that are comprised of less than 50 percent scrap materials;
- Produce either a final mineral product or an intermediate to the final product; and
- Do not combine the product with another material that is not an ore or mineral, or beneficiated ore or mineral (e.g., alloying), do not involve fabrication or other manufacturing activities, and do not involve further processing of a marketable product of mineral processing.
- Residuals from treatment of excluded mineral processing wastes must be historically or presently generated and must meet the high volume and low hazard criteria in order to retain excluded status.
Processing operations generally follow beneficiation and include techniques that often destroy the ore or mineral, such as smelting, electrolytic refining, and acid attack or digestion. EPA also wishes to emphasize that operations following the initial "processing" step in the production sequence are also considered processing operations, irrespective of whether they involve only the techniques defined above as beneficiation. Therefore, solid wastes arising from such operations are considered mineral processing wastes, rather than beneficiation wastes.
- The September 1, 1989 final rulemaking also points out differences between extraction/ beneficiation wastes and mineral processing wastes (emphasis added):
In considering the functional distinctions between beneficiation and processing using both heat and acid, EPA has examined both the range of actual practices employed, and the types of waste streams that are generated by these operations in various mineral commodity sectors. In a general sense, the lines that the Agency has drawn between beneficiation and processing parallel the common sense differences that can be observed between beneficiation and processing wastes generated using other types of mineral exploitation techniques. Most beneficiation processes, at least those immediately upstream from the initial processing operation in a production sequence, generate high volume solid waste streams that are essentially earthen in character. Despite the fact that valuable constituents have been removed, the remaining material is often physically and chemically similar to the material (ore or mineral) that entered the operation, except that particle size reduction has often occurred. Processing operations, in contrast, generate waste streams that generally bear little or no resemblance to the materials that entered the operation (with the arguable exception of smelting slags). These operations most often destroy the physical structure of the mineral, producing product and waste streams that are not earthen in character.
This common sense distinction is reflected in EPA's definitions of beneficiation and processing operations using heat and acid. The beneficiation operations (e.g., calcining, dissolution, roasting in preparation for leaching) produce wastes, where applicable, that are essentially earthen and of relatively high volume. The processing operations (e.g., smelting, acid or alkaline digestion), on the other hand, produce wastes that are not earthen, bear little resemblance to the materials that entered the operation, and are of relatively lower volume.
- The Agency recently (April 1998) issued two finalized collections of damage cases involving extraction/beneficiation and mineral processing wastes: Human Health and Environmental Damages from Mining and Mineral Processing Wastes and Damage Cases and Environmental Releases from Mines and Mineral Processing Sites.
What are the Lines Between Beneficiation and Mineral Processing?
- EPA uses the terms "extraction," "beneficiation," and "mineral processing" to describe the sequence of events needed to produce a saleable mineral.
- - The concentration of the mineral commodity increases because impurities are removed as the operations progress from extraction through beneficiation to mineral processing.
- What is a Primary Ore or Mineral?
It is important to establish whether primary mineral production takes place at the facility. The exclusion does not apply to secondary production of mineral commodities. Wastes from scrap recycling, metals recovery from flue dust, and similar activities have always been subject to Subtitle C regulation if these wastes exhibit hazardous characteristics or are listed hazardous wastes.
---Primary mineral production operations are defined as those using at least 50 percent ores, minerals, or beneficiated ores or minerals on an annual basis as the feedstock providing the mineral value.
---The exclusion does not extend to downstream chemical manufacturing, fabrication, or other activities that use a saleable commodity as the primary raw material, even it these activities occur at the same facility. (see 54 FR 36616, September 1, 1989)
- The initial stages of mining (i.e., extraction and beneficiation) produce relatively earthen-like large volume and low hazard wastes.
- Beneficiation operations typically serve to separate and concentrate the mineral values from waste material, remove impurities, or prepare the ore for further refinement.
- Processing operations, in contrast, generally follow beneficiation and serve to change the concentrated mineral into a more useful chemical form. This is often done by using heat or chemical reactions to change the physical/chemical composition of the mineral and produce relatively low volume, high hazard wastes.
- It is critical to determine at what point mineral processing first occurs because all operations following that initial processing operation will be considered processing. Any waste generated downstream from the initial mineral processing step loses the exemption unless it is on the list of the special 20 mineral processing wastes eligible for the Bevill exclusion. 4
- Wastes falling on the beneficiation side of the line retain the exemption, while wastes on the mineral processing side, except for 20 "special wastes", fall within Subtitle C jurisdiction.
Why does mining terminology complicate using the Bevill exclusion?
- EPA codified a list of beneficiation "activities" at 40 CFR 261.4(b)(7), including:
"crushing, grinding, washing, dissolution, crystallization, filtration, sorting, sizing, drying, sintering, pelletizing, briquetting, calcining, roasting in preparation for leaching, gravity concentration, magnetic separation, electrostatic separation, flotation, ion exchange, solvent extraction, electrowinning, precipitation, amalgamation, and heap, dump, vat, tank, and in situ leaching."
- However, it may be difficult to identify specific waste streams from many of the beneficiation "activities".
- For example, the terms "crushing, grinding, drying", are operations that do not generate any appreciable wastes, while the term "flotation" is a beneficiation term on this same list that does generate the paradigm of large volume, low hazard beneficiation waste called tailings.5
- Also, many beneficiation terms are used to describe activities common to a wide range of non-exempt industries.6 These beneficiation terms are also descriptive of mineral processing operations that are located at the same location as the beneficiation operations.
- At each facility, it is very likely that the company will use terms describing equipment or processes that are unique to its operations.
Why does "High Volume, Low Hazard" Criteria not apply to beneficiation wastes?
The EDF II court found that congressional intent was to exempt ". . . only those wastes from processing ores or minerals that meet the 'special waste' criteria, that is, 'high volume, low hazard' wastes". 7 The EDF II court explained Congressional intent for mineral processing waste but it did not explicitly address beneficiation wastes.
Therefore, extraction and beneficiation wastes eligible for the Bevill Exclusion may include small volume, high hazard wastes.
What are the Basic Steps in Making Bevill Determinations?
- Determine whether the material is considered a solid waste under RCRA.
- Determine whether the facility is using a primary ore or mineral to produce a final or intermediate product and also whether less than 50 percent of the feedstocks on an annual basis are from secondary sources.
- Establish whether the material and the operation that generates it are uniquely associated with mineral production.
- Determine where in the sequence of operations beneficiation ends and mineral processing begins.
- If the material is a mineral processing waste, determine whether it is one of the 20 special wastes from mineral processing.
This analytical sequence will result in one of three outcomes:
- the material is not a solid waste and therefore not subject to RCRA;
- the material is a solid waste but is exempt from RCRA Subtitle C because of the Mining Waste Exclusion; or
- the material is a solid waste that is not exempt from RCRA Subtitle C and is subject to regulation as a hazardous waste if it is a listed or characteristic hazardous waste.
What is the National Hardrock Mining Framework?
- A Framework has been developed to help the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) implement a multi-media, multi-statute approach to dealing with the environmental concerns posed by hardrock mining. Although the Framework focuses on understanding and improving the use of existing EPA authorities it does so with a clear recognition of the role of other parties. Building effective working relationships with other mining stakeholders is a key element of EPA's efforts to improve the effectiveness of its own programs.
- Environmental policies are increasingly focusing on integrating media protection (air, water, and land) and emphasizing multi-statute education, research, permitting, and enforcement to more effectively implement single-media statutes mandated by Congress.
What is the Status of Other Exclusions to the Definition of Solid Waste?
- The rule does not affect 40 CFR 261.2 (e)(1)(ii) which excludes from the definition of solid wastes secondary materials which are "used or reused as effective substitutes for commercial products."
- The rule does not affect 40 CFR 266.70 related to the reclamation to recover economically significant amounts of gold, silver, platinum, iridium, osmium, rhodium, ruthenium, or any combination of them.
- The rule does not subsume 40 CFR 261.2 (e)(1)(iii) related to secondary materials "returned [as a substitute for feedstock materials] to the original process from which they are generated, without first being reclaimed or land disposed.
1[W]ith respect to the mining and mineral processing wastes . . . this exclusion does not apply to solid wastes, such as spent solvents, pesticide wastes, and discarded commercial chemical products, that are not uniquely associated with these mining and allied processing operations." 45 Fed. Reg. 76,619 (1980).
2 [T]he Agency finds no compelling reason to provide exemptions for particular small volume wastes that may be associated with mineral processing operations, such as cleaning wastes. Many other industrial operations also generate such wastes, and EPA does not believe that the fact that current management involving mixing justifies continued regulatory exclusion for wastes that are not uniquely associated with mineral processing (and therefore are not defined as mineral processing wastes) and would not, in any event meet the high volume criterion." 54 Fed. Reg. 36,616 (September 1, 1989).
3 Reportable quantity substances, limits, and requirements are found at 40 C.F.R. § 302 (1993).
4 See the specific list of 20 mineral processing waste in 40 C.F.R. 261.4(b)(7) (1993).
Report to Congress, Wastes from the Extraction and Beneficiation of Metallic Ores, Phosphate Rock, Asbestos, Overburden from Uranium Mining and Oil Shale, EPA Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery, 1985.
For example, the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3rd Edition, lists over 300 non-mining chemical and industrial processes that use the term solvent extraction, which is one of the beneficiation activities on the list.

Got my hatchling on friday and it looks like one leg is slightly swollen, the skin is duller, more grey then the rest of him. His tail was the same color, and today the skin shed off his tail and is now bright like the rest of him. I am thinking he is shedding and his leg still has the old skin on it? My camra is being a pain, I turn it on it beeps and turns off. I will fool around with it later and see if I can make it work.
So think he is sheding still? I heard a warm soak will help, I am trying to not hold him for a few days until he gets settled, I noticed the foot while watching him wolf down his crickets, he is eating and pooing fine. Still pretty active.

The SX230 HS is most notably a GPS-enabled device, however, this camera has a lot of other things going for it. Although location tagging is an increasingly fun area of photography, the real power of the SX230 HS is in the images it can create.
The image quality of the SX230 is very good, and by far one of its best selling points. Don't get me wrong, GPS is cool, but not enough to sway some buyers. The images are rich and natural. The SX230 does extraordinarily well in low-light scenarios and the smaller resolution size has proven to create a better image with less aberrations and better image quality overall than the SX210 IS.
There are some negatives to this camera as well though. The design is just a rehashing of the SX210 IS, it has a potentially annoying pop-up flash, a tendency to overexpose at telephoto lengths and speed-wise its performance is only middle of the road. Also, the GPS shouldn't be so buried into the menu system. I would have liked to have seen a dedicated GPS button instead of having to seek it out in the menu subfolders. I would also argue that there should be some sort of better integration or time stamp that can be place into the metadata so that you don't have to install the included software.
So is this camera worth the upgrade if you already have the SX210 IS? Maybe. If you want a camera and are stuck between the two, spend the extra fifty bucks more and get the SX230 HS, you get more bang for you buck and you won't be disappointed with the images you capture or video you record.

When people think of New York, they so often think of the city—which, in actuality, is just a small corner of a big state, filled with abundant vacation opportunities. Best of all, there are affordable family vacations in New York, making it easy to plan a getaway in any season.
City Sightseeing For Less
Kick off a vacation to New York by starting in the city, where, with a little creativity, some surprisingly good deals can be found. Accommodations can be expensive in Manhattan, so the best option for a family on a budget is to book a vacation rental. With several locations throughout the New York metropolitan area, there are options for everyone.
Save on transportation by going public. Take the subway and city buses to save money on parking and car rental; put on the walking shoes and see the city on foot. Visiting museums is an affordable activity for the whole family; check online before you go for coupons and special discount days.
Times Square, Ground Zero, and the Statue of Liberty should not be missed; all are free or inexpensive. Zoos and aquariums are also great and affordable city entertainment, and there are plenty of great restaurants and food carts for every budget. New York affordable family vacations are possible with a little planning and out-of-the-box thinking!
From Cityscape to Countryside
After a couple of days in New York City, pack up the car and head to Central New York for a serene country escape. This region spans from Lake Ontario in the north to Pennsylvania to the south. Several state parks provide opportunities to explore nearly 9,000 square miles; vacation rentals allow you to relax and unwind in a beautiful setting in one of the many towns across the region.
Explore glacially carved valleys, waterfalls, lakes, and the Catskill Mountains. Hiking, horseback riding, and other outdoor activities are free or cost next to nothing, and are fun for the whole family.
Visit Gilbert Lake State Park, in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains near Oneonta, to explore ample wooded terrain. Miles of hiking trails provide opportunities to view wildlife and enjoy the region's plant life. Visit the Baseball Hall of Fame and the Farmer's Museum, both located in nearby Cooperstown, and the Soccer Hall of Fame in Oneonta, all of which make affordable family vacations in New York possible, and fun for everyone.
Adventures in the Adirondacks
The Adirondacks are perhaps the best place to plan affordable family vacations in New York. In fact, here is so much to do, this region might warrant a trip of its own. A good place to start is the southern end of Lake George, one of the most beautiful lakes in the country, with plenty of hiking, biking, shopping, events, and cruises on the lake. The northern end offers a quiet retreat into the heart of the Adirondacks.
Visit the great state of New York for an affordable and fun family vacation! With a little planning ahead, you can have a memorable vacation on even the tightest budget.

By Rohin Guha February 18, 2010 Well that was fast. Mardi Gras is fin, and most New Yorkers were too distracted or bleary-eyed from the long weekend to get truly fat on Fat Tuesday. Now Lent is here and people have rushed into giving things up and fasting and otherwise resorting to being good and decent people for the next 40 days. What does this mean for New York nightlife? Judging from the long lists of places to-go and people to-see, I'd say not much.

The Chiss are a race that very closely resemble humans, but there are significant differences between the two, most notably in outward appearance. Chiss have black hair and glowing red eyes while their skin colour ranges from pale to dark blue; it is believed that their coloration and the eye color is influenced by the level of oxygen in the environment. They also have an increased metabolic rate, which typically results in a very lean physique with well-defined musculature.
The Chiss are known as being very deliberate and composed in their actions and their disciplined manner has been credited to their upbringing. In Chiss society a child's maturity is accelerated; they almost entirely bypass an adolescent period before being accepted as an adult. Chiss culture is largely based on customs and courtesies. For a time in their history there were Ruling Families, also called Ruling Houses. The number of these extended families would wax and wane depending on the governing needs of the time, and eventually faded from direct political power, but a legacy of social practices from their era still lingers. One such tradition is the elaborate welcoming ritual, in the form of colours and ceremony, that marks the visit of a member of a former Family into the domain of another.
Honour is very important to the Chiss race, and the actions of a Chiss are always subject to scrutiny. As such, the Chiss tend to be very formal and always considerate of how their actions can affect their Family and themselves. They are also very intelligent and often gifted in strategic thinking, as well as private and insular. The Chiss language is called Cheunh, but many also speak the trade languages including Basic.
Csilla, the Chiss home world, is located in the Unknown Regions and is an icy wasteland. In order to survive the harsh climate, the Chiss built energy-efficient warrens under the ice, as close to the warmth of the planet core as possible.
Comments: A race of discipline, the Chiss are bureaucratic yet semi-dictatorial, and use technology similar to that of the Galactic Alliance (New Republic). Controlling most of what the rest of the galaxy considers the "Unknown Regions", they keep probes and sentinels out to scan their space and store their information in a low-tech but very secure form. Not exactly xenophobic, they are wary of other species, but would welcome individuals into their society, if they showed the right credentials.
On Csilla, the Chiss live under the ice to escape the bitter cold of the surface. Even so, heating is required and they use classically Chiss technology to do this as efficiently as possible. Most of the hallways and vast corridors through the ice are natural products of glacier flow.

The Landlord's Game is a board game patented in 1904 by Elizabeth Magie as U.S. Patent 748626. It is a realty and taxation game, similar to Monopoly. Though many similar home-made games were played at the beginning of the 20th century and some predate The Landlord's Game, it is the first of its kind to have an attested patent.
Magie based the game on the economic principles of Georgism, a system proposed by Henry George, with the object of demonstrating how rents enrich property owners and impoverish tenants. She knew that some people could find it hard to understand why this happened and what might be done about it, and she thought that if Georgist ideas were put into the concrete form of a game, they might be easier to demonstrate.
Although The Landlord's Game was patented, it was not taken up by a manufacturer until 1910, when it was published in the U.S. by the Economic Game Company of New York. In the United Kingdom it was first published in 1913 by the Newbie Game Company of London under the title Brer Fox an' Brer Rabbit, although despite the title change it was recognizably the same game.
Magie moved back to her birth state of Illinois and was married in 1910, then moved with her husband to the Washington D.C area and eventually patented a new version of The Landlord's Game in 1924 under her married name of Elizabeth Magie Phillips. This version, unlike the one depicted in her first patent, included named streets, some named after locations in Chicago. Apart from commercial distribution in 1932, it spread by word of mouth and was played in slightly variant homemade versions over the years by Quakers, Georgists, university students, and others who became aware of it.
Magie held the patent until 1935, when she sold it to Parker Brothers for $500. The company had recently started distributing Charles Darrow's Monopoly, and was buying up the patents of various commercial forms of the game in order to claim undisputed rights to selling it. As part of the purchase agreement, which Magie insisted upon, Parker Brothers manufactured and marketed three of her games; while Bargain Day and King's Men (1937) did relatively well, a third edition of The Landlord's Game (1939) only sold a few hundred copies before it was discontinued.
In a 2004 episode of PBS' History Detectives (title: Monopoly; Japanese Internment Camp Artwork; The Lewis and Clark Cane), the show investigated a game board belonging to a Delaware man, having an intermediate version of a game combining elements of The Landlord's Game and Monopoly. The investigators concluded that this game board was the missing link that proves that Monopoly was derived from The Landlord's Game.[1]


text: Mike Reiss has this, but here is the link: LINK It says: New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick telephoned Gophers offensive coordinator Mitch Browning to tell him how impressive ex-Gophers running back Laurence Maroney was during a recent minicamp. Maroney, who wore jersey No. 22 at Minnesota but will wear No. 39 for the Patriots, was New England's first-round draft pick (No. 21 overall). "(Belichick) said it's been a long time since he's had a running back accelerate through the hole like Maroney," Browning said Thursday. "He also said Laurence has fit in well with the other players."

Van-Tastic: 15 Crazy Customized Vans
Vanners are everywhere. Across the country, these folks obsess over creating the most far-out customizations they can think of, be it a sci-fi or fantasy mural on their van's exterior or luxury carpeting and seats on the interior. Last week, though, they all gathered in one placethe 40th Van Nationals in Wisconsinand we were there.
By Joe P. Hasler
For obvious reasons, the Illinois plates on this '67 Chevy read: "TAZ VAN." It is the pride and joy of the larger-than-life president of the Hy-Rollin' Vans club, George "Taz" Flament. Flament is a self-described "Chevy Guy;"he was covering the expanse of the fairgrounds in his custom golf cart, complete with a Chevy bowtie logo for decoration on the hood. Flament recently replaced the engine in this vehicle after racking up a staggering 250,000 miles. Asked what came first, the nickname or the van, Flament's friends and fellow vanners say it's the former. "Have you seen Taz?" Lil' Ed Gray asks. (We had. He is in fact a large Taz-shaped human.) "Definitely the nickname."

quote:Widmore eventually found his way back to the island and it wasn't the end all be all they made it out to be.
quote:Was lying about the Oceanic 6 to the media really necessary in the end?
quote:All it did was affect the island properties and transport them back to the present
quote:I know the FS is what would've happened had oceanic 815 never crashed in the first place.
quote:well now i'm confused, i thought the FS was their place that they created in the afterlife to find each other so they could move on together or whatever
quote:The only time I've watched season 6 is when it was on live
quote:I still find it strange that the FS was the place they created. I can understand Hurley going from unlucky to "nothing bad ever happens to me. I'm the luckiest guy on earth." Sawyer was also a nice transformation. But Jack's, certainly Sayid's, and some others' FS lives weren't some glorious creation, rather quite miserable actually. Jack was divorced and, up until the last week, was a terrible father. Sayid wasn't with the love of his life, Nadia (Let's not even get started on Sayid/Shannon ). And the list goes on.

He is one of the most beloved athletes in history and one of the most gifted men ever to step onto a tennis court - but from early childhood Andre Agassi hated the game.

"Our Brains are amazing!"
Jimmy Bullard may not have had the perfect hair-do, his Granada Ghia may not have been the flashiest of cars, and he definitely didn't have a string of Page 3 girls trying to sell kiss and tell stories about him to the tabloids. But what he has in spades is a genuine love for The Beautiful Game that few of his peers can match. One of the last graduates from football's old school, Jimmy actually worked in the real world - including as a painter and decorator - before turning pro. Maybe that's why he played football with a smile on his face, always says what's on his mind, and is no stranger to a spot of mischief.
"Nice bloke"

"Good effort"

"A good insight into the dressing room environment"
"From kicking a ball as a kid under the street lamps of Poplar and standing on Highbury's North Bank with my dad, to my first game at West Ham, I was born head over heels in love with football. It saved me, and 50 years on that hasn't changed one bit - I'd be lost without it..."

"Fantasticly written & narrated"
4 August, 2012. Super Saturday.

Seven days later, Mo seized his second gold at the 5000m to go where no British distance runner has gone before. Records have tumbled before him: European track records at 1500m, 5000m indoors, and 10,000m; British track records at 5000m, 3000m indoors...
"Engaging and inspiring"
Fanatical about cricket since he was a boy, Miles Jupp would do anything to see his heroes play. But perhaps deciding to bluff his way into the press corps during England's Test series in India wasn't his best idea. By claiming to be the cricket correspondent for BBC Scotland and getting a job with the (Welsh) Western Mail, Miles lands the press pass that will surely be the ticket to his dreams. Soon, he finds himself in cricket heaven - drinking with David Gower and Beefy, and sharing bar room banter with Nasser Hussain.
"It's Just Not Cricket!"
Of all the sports played across the globe, none has more curses, superstitions, or supernatural events like baseball, America's national pastime. While some of these can easily be explained, there are just as many that cannot. Field of Fantasies delves right into that superstition with short stories written by several key authors about baseball and the supernatural.
The Secret Footballer is back. And this time he's not alone.
The honest truth about professional football, by the Guardian's man inside the game.
One could say the sports-savvy fan will eventually watch ESPN at least once in their lifetime. What happens one day when his Sports Center is cut off by a CrossFit competition? Is this the next sport? Are CrossFit people alowed to call themselves athletes? What defines an athlete, and under what circumstances is one alowed to call themselves "professional" in an activity? I solve this debate from a neutral, non-biased perspective and get to the bottom of what CrossFit should be labeled.
Humor or horror? You decide, as sports atheist Walter Witty renders a play-by-play account of America's own most radical of religions: sports obsessions. From the hundred million plus salaries of sports gods to the games played by politicians and televangelists, Witty whistles and points at both Icons and Emperors prancing in their skivvies. Whatever their faith, he has choice words for them and their stories, while telling his own - including a Lossary of Terms.

For the first time, 1:59 examines what it will take for an elite distance runner to go subtwo hours.
This book is both a lesson in true grit and determination, but its goal is one that is attainable.

"Great book, but beware the "unabridged" claim"

The 1989 Ironman World Championship was the greatest race ever in endurance sports.

After 8 punishing hours, both men would demolish the previous record - and cross the finish line a mere 58 seconds apart.
Moneyball is a quest for something as elusive as the Holy Grail, something that money apparently can't buy: the secret of success in baseball. The logical places to look would be the giant offices of major league teams and the dugouts. But the real jackpot is a cache of numbers collected over the years by a strange brotherhood of amateur baseball enthusiasts: software engineers, statisticians, Wall Street analysts, lawyers, and physics professors.
"Recommended reading for all sports fans"
ECW was one extreme contradiction piled on top of another. It was an incredibly influential company in the world of professional wrestling during the 1990s, yet it was never profitable. It portrayed itself as the ultimate in anti-authority rebellion, but its leadership was, at various points, working covertly with the two wrestling giants, the World Wrestling Federation and World Championship Wrestling. Most of all, it blurred the line between real life and the fantasy world of professional wrestling like no other company before it.
Nate Jackson's Slow Getting Up is an unvarnished and uncensored memoir of everyday life in the most popular sports league in America - and the most damaging to its players - the National Football League. After playing college ball at a tiny Division III school, Jackson, a receiver, signed as a free agent with the San Francisco 49ers, before moving to the Denver Broncos. For six seasons in the NFL as a Bronco, he alternated between the practice squad and the active roster, eventually winning a starting spot - a short, tenuous career emblematic of the average pro player.
"Addictive story of a journeyman pro's NFL career"

Now the collective wisdom of the most savvy running writers, coaches, and editors can be found in Runner's World Complete Book of Running.

"Not just why England (will) lose!"
Mind Games follows the journey of Phil Jackson to the top of basketball's coaching hierarchy, a rise that took him from obscurity in the Continental Basketball Association to nine championship rings in the NBA.

Humans evolved over the millennia to become one of the most exceptional distance-running species on Earth. So why are injuries so common?

"Must read for Runners"
Daniel Gray is about to turn thirty. Like any sane person, his response is to travel to Luton, Crewe, and Hinckley. After a decade's exile in Scotland, he sets out to reacquaint himself with England via what he considers its greatest asset: football. Watching teams from the Championship (or Division Two as any right-minded person calls it) to the South West Peninsula Premier, and aimlessly walking around towns from Carlisle to Newquay, Gray paints a curious landscape forgotten by many.
"Not just a football book!"
The inside story of the most colorful decade in NFL history - pro football's raging, hormonal, hairy, druggy, immortal adolescence. Between the Immaculate Reception in 1972 and The Catch in 1982, pro football grew up. In 1972, Steelers star Franco Harris hitchhiked to practice. NFL teams roomed in skanky motels. They played on guts, painkillers, legal steroids, fury, and camaraderie. A decade later, Joe Montana's gleamingly efficient 49ers ushered in a new era: the corporate, scripted, multibillion-dollar NFL we watch today.

DominationMay 3rd, 2012
Harwich Redoubt, in Suffolk, England. This was a fort built to deter Napoleonic invasion. In Literature and Revolution, Leon Trotsky talks of the grandeur of the Medieval cathedrals – designed to overwhelm the peasant with utter fear of the earthly realm as much as to put him in awe of any transcendental power above. Similarly, in the 1820s the enemy within had to be subdued as keenly as any from abroad.
