Oh, what a feeling!! Wallpaper on the ceiling!!
Posted on | November 20, 2008 | No Comments
From the informative and ever fascinating 1961 Better Homes & Gardens Decorating Book, (loose leaf binder actually; sorry for the holes!) comes these bold treatments for ceilings…
First, we have a Hollywood Regency bedroom example, a shimmering gold rosette "powdering" trimmed with a neo-classical border.
Second, the ultimate 1960s saffron yellow bathroom, (a good remedy for those who frequently wake up on the wrong side of the bed). And if you look carefully, yes, those dots are carried up onto the ceiling as well! And here's a tip: The big "dots" there could even be painted with stencils if someone were so inclined…
And lastly, a warm traditional room finished out with a formal pattern between the ceiling beams. It's important to note that these examples are all "lighter" in feel, better for lower ceilings especially.
Ceilings decorated with wallpaper, painted ornament, wood, plaster work, etc. were a very common trend in homes for centuries, only falling out of fashion by the mid 1970s. Was it practical though? An embellished ceiling does have the advantages of little to no "wear and tear", it floats largely above the eye level, and provides at least some color and pattern to what is usually the largest and yet most often ignored expanse in an interior.
So keep looking up!

Clean Energy Adds Major Trucking Fleets To Natural Gas Fueling
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq:CLNE) today announced that it has begun providing natural gas fuel to additional trucking fleets which transport products for some of the country's largest and most well-known brands, accelerating the trucking industry's conversion to natural gas fuel.
Five firms — Saddle Creek Logistics Services, Lakeland, FL; Premier Transportation, Atlanta, GA; Hoopes Turf Farm, Transport Division, Ulysses, PA; Lily Transportation Corp., Needham, MA; and Lancaster Foods, Jessup, MD — will use compressed natural gas (CNG) at existing Clean Energy public access stations, new stations built for the companies, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) at Clean Energy stations along its America's Natural Gas Highway™.
"These companies are geographically diverse, but the common theme we hear from all of them is a desire to reduce their fuel costs and to deploy cleaner operating fleets," said James Harger, Clean Energy's Chief Marketing Officer. "With the availability of a new class of heavy-duty natural gas trucks as well as more fueling stations, regional and national trucking operators are seeing the enormous benefits of converting to natural gas as their transportation fuel."
Saddle Creek Logistics ServicesSaddle Creek, a nationwide third-party logistics company, has expanded its contract with Clean Energy to build additional private natural gas fueling stations to support Saddle Creek's expanding fleet of for-hire CNG trucks. Fueling at its new CNG station at the company's Lakeland headquarters, a fleet of 40 Freightliner natural gas trucks is now serving Saddle Creek's Florida customers. With its CNG fleet size projected to grow to 120 trucks, this will be the largest over-the-road CNG truck fleet in the state. "Sustainability is a core strategy at Saddle Creek. We have opted to transition our truck fleets to natural gas power to help our customers secure the benefits of this clean, cost-efficient, abundant domestic fuel," said Mike DelBovo, Saddle Creek's President.

I have a tendency to jump the gun sometimes…my husband would tell you I start listening to Christmas music entirely too early (which I think is debatable), I always buy Spring flowers and potted plants when it's still too chilly out, and I start cooking/baking with pumpkin, apples and butternut squash when it's still 90 degrees. It's just that I get excited about seasons! It happens every year (especially when Fall comes around!) and this year is no exception.
I've had this recipe saved for about a year now. I copied it out of my mother's Southern Living magazine last Fall and somehow just now got around to making it. Chicken and Corn Pie with Cornbread Topping…mmm, now doesn't that sound yummy?? And it was, too – really yummy, actually! But after making it, I realized (ok, ok, so I pretty much knew all along…) that it really is a dish that is better served when it's chilly or cold outside – however, I just couldn't wait that long! I'm ready for Fall now! The filling is more like a thick stew (which I love!) and the cornbread topping is really cheesy and yummy- and the great thing is, it's really versatile- you could put in ground beef, or another kind of vegetable…lots of possibilities! I think this would be a perfect dish for watching a football game when it's nice and chilly outside! In fact, I'll probably serve this again when the hubby and I are at home watching the Fightin' Texas Aggies one saturday!
Chicken and Corn Pie with Cornbread Topping
-Southern Living Magazine, October 2008
1 (10-oz.) can enchilada sauce
1 (10-oz.) can Rotel Tomatoes
2 cups frozen whole kernel corn
1 teaspoon chili powder
3 cups chopped cooked chicken (2- 12.5-oz. cans chicken, drained, may be substituted)
1 (6-oz.) package Mexican-style cornbread mix
2/3 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded Mexican four-cheese blend, divided
Preheat oven to 375°. Stir together enchilada sauce and next 3 ingredients in a 3 1/2-qt. saucepan over medium heat until combined; cook, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Stir in chicken.
Whisk together cornbread mix, next 3 ingredients, and 3/4 cup cheese in a small bowl just until blended.
Pour chicken mixture into a lightly greased 11×7 inch baking dish. Spoon cornbread mixture over hot chicken mixture. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Serve with sour cream and jalapeno peppers if desired.

If you are planning to open a business in Iraq, I would advise you to bring a book. Something substantial, perhaps Tolstoy or Proust, or the unabridged Oxford English Dictionary. You'll want a sizable knapsack, too, so you can comfortably carry not just all 20 volumes, but the enormous stacks of cash that the process will require.
Here is what the World Bank estimates you must do to open a new firm in Iraq. First, you will need to spend a couple of days deciding on a company name, determining whether it is already registered, and obtaining a "name reservation letter" from the Baghdad Chamber of Commerce at a cost of 350,000 Iraqi dinars ($300). Then, for about 900,000 dinars ($770), you must hire a lawyer to spend a day drafting articles of association for your company. You will need a couple more days to deposit 5,000 dinars ($4.30) in a commercial bank and obtain a confirming receipt, and up to two weeks and another 350,000 dinars ($300) to file for registration at the Commercial Registry. Advertising your incorporation notice in the local paper will set you back 80,000 dinars ($70), and you will lose another three days. Following that, you will expend two days and 20,000 dinars ($17) to make a company seal, but take heart—only one more day is needed to obtain your registration certificate from the Commercial Registry, which includes it absolutely free in the price of your registration filing.
Don't get too giddy, however, because you're not done yet. Registering with the tax authority and legalizing your accounting books will suck up four more days and 625,500 dinars ($535), followed by three days to register your employees for social security. Then you find a chair, open up Volume III of the OED, and settle in for the long wait: the 30-to-60-day process of applying for a trade license. All in all, the World Bank says, the process takes an average of 77 days and more than 2 million dinars, or nearly $2,000—more than 100 percent of Iraq's annual per capita income. That's why the World Bank ranks Iraq 174th out of 183 countries for starting a business; by contrast, in America (ranked ninth) the process takes six days and about $675. In America, in exchange, you'll get a safe environment, ready electricity, clean water, and adequate roads. In Iraq, you'll get a certificate from the Commercial Registry.
Eight years have passed since the invasion of coalition forces into Iraq. There seems to have been no one reason the war was launched, but certainly one of the things we often heard was that Operation Iraqi Freedom would liberate markets as well as people from the predations of Saddam Hussein's odious regime. It's hard not to cringe while reading George W. Bush's October 2002 speech in Cincinnati, where he promised,
Freed from the weight of oppression, Iraq's people will be able to share in the progress and prosperity of our time … rebuild their economy, and create the institutions of liberty in a unified Iraq, at peace with its neighbors.
Or The Washington Post opining that removing Saddam "would free millions of Iraqis from deprivation and oppression" and relieve the "political and economic backwardness" that fostered terrorism. Or, for that matter, your humble correspondent suggesting,
Most of the larger costs … aren't going to be borne by Americans either directly or indirectly, but by Iraqi oil. That's the oil that will be able to flow freely for the first time in ten years because of this war—and the revenue from which will flow to the Iraqi people for the first time in a decade.
Things haven't turned out quite as we expected, which is why I have reluctantly come to believe that my country and I made a disastrous mistake. To be sure, the situation is not all bad. The violence has abated, Iraq now has an elected government, and the standard of living for most of the country is higher than it was under Saddam. We have not, as both I and some of the war's fiercest critics suggested we would, helped ourselves to Iraqi oil.
But if American imperialism isn't all that imperialistic, neither is Iraq's free market very free. It remains hard to open a legal business, difficult to keep one running, and virtually impossible to shut one down. Frank Gunter is an associate professor of economics at Lehigh University and a Marine reservist who served as both deputy chief of coalition operations and the senior economic adviser to the U.S. military in Iraq. He points me to a grim recent study of Iraqi business: "They cannot find evidence that any business has been legally closed in the last 10 years. What they do if they want to close a business is wait until the day before payday, loot everything, and then disappear."
Americans cannot avoid asking themselves the obvious question: did we do this? The troubling answer is that we may have—and more troubling still is how we may have done it. The biggest problem with Iraq's business climate is no longer the lingering violence, according to Maura O'Brien-Ali, Iraq program officer at the Center for International Private Enterprise. "Security has changed dramatically over the last couple of years. You can see it in the perceptions of the local business community … That's not the number-one issue anymore." Nor is the biggest problem even the punishing legacy of Saddam's totalitarian rule. No, it's worse than that. Apparently, freedom and democracy themselves may actually be creating many of the most severe problems in the economy—our virtues, and not our sins, may be what's hurting Iraqis.

When you start blueprinting a
system build, where do you start? Regardless of its function, from
the most run-of-the-mill e-mail machine to ultimate gaming rig -- I start with the power supply. Consider
the fact; before a single ampere of current touches your
motherboard, it has to come from the power supply. The quality and quantity of
power you have for your entire system is decided by this one single component.
Lucky for us, there are more than just a few power supplies to choose from. Want lights and a Plexiglas cover?
Someone will be sure to stock it. How about something totally fan-less to keep your PC as quiet as possible?
Yup, got that too. What about a power supply for that
ultimate gaming
rig! Needless to say, once you start specializing parts, the field gets reduced
pretty quickly.
For an
ultimate gaming rig,
you'll probably be using two video cards. So that means more PCI Express plugs
and the current load on the 12 volt rails to support them. The SLI or
Crossfire motherboard itself will also need a tad more power. That's in addition
to your internal hard disk and optical drives, and we haven't even started case
and CPU cooling yet. Something else to consider is your future expansion. Sure,
a 300 watt power supply is probably more than enough for an entry level
computer. But that's not what we're looking to build here. Oh no! I want
to assemble a gaming rig that will carry me well into the DirectX 10 Era. SLI,
an overclocked Core 2 Duo, and oh yes - lets add some water cooling!
When I started my search for
power supplies, I had a list of requirements that had to be fulfilled. For
future expansion and plenty of overhead, I set the power limit at 1,000 watts.
It needed to be able to support an SLI setup based on two 8800GTX video cards,
so that means four PCI express power plugs. Of course we're going to be using
SATA drives, so SATA plugs are a must. Water cooling means a DC pump, so we'll
need molex connectors for that as well as the case cooling fans and the optical
drives. The desire for active Power Factor Correction is a given, so the unit
can maintain its highest level of efficiency. A modular cord system would be
nice so we can keep cable clutter to a minimum. Last of all, we do have a budget
to adhere to. Of all the power supplies that I had to choose from, Enermax led
the charge.

Would really work better for us if the IEM's are live even when the input channels are muted. (those sends are all configured PRE by the way) Things worked this way on my previous board and the X32 blows that one away so..... Somebody please give me the solution here. Thanks.

State Farm insurance company is trying a new approach to keep teen drivers safe on the road.
Instead of using scare tactics, The company held a "Celebrate My Drive," rally Saturday at Tysons Corner to celebrate safe driving and bring teens and communities together. The event was among 400 similar rallies held across the country, perhaps the biggest one-day gathering of teen drivers, State Farm spokeswoman Anna Bryant says.
"We really feel a better way to get through to teens is to create a positive and empowering environment for them," she says. According to Bryant it's all about keeping the kids engaged.
"We're really trying to make a positive conversation around teen driver safety," Bryant says.
The first year on the road for a teen driver is the most dangerous because the chances of a crash is the greatest during this initial learning period. Car crashes are the No. 1 killer of teens in the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.
Tara Condon brought her young driver to the Tyson's Corner rally. Condon says it's important for her daughter, a Centreville High School senior, to be there. "We want her to make it, to live a long life."
Bryant says it's critical for parents to continue talking to their teens about driving even after their kids get their licenses. She says teens value talking to their parents and they trust the advice parents give on driving.
Research by State Farm and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia found a sharp decline in parent-teen talks about driving after a teen has his or her driver's license.

Making History by Reclaiming 'Black History'
February 22, 2013 in Papers
This short paper is my contribution to the ongoing debate about the future of Black History Month in the UK. It is in response to the 'Position Paper' written by Nubian Jack for discussion at the meeting on African Heritage Month International at the Africa Centre, Covent Garden, London, on 22 February 2013.
Nubian Jak has provided a useful potted history of the origins and development of Black History Month (BHM) in Britain, a story that even after 25 years is unfamiliar to many.
During the last 25 years, much has happened that in my view calls into question the provenance and trajectory of BHM, thus making it necessary for us to question our connectedness with it and how we are fashioning it for the current and future generations in the same way that the early pioneers laid the foundations for us.

Just about every major cruise line has added a fuel surcharge over the past two months -- much to the chagrin of readers of this blog and other cruise sites. But there are a few exceptions.
Among the large ship lines, Disney is the big holdout on the charges -- at least for now. I didn't get a definitive never-ever from spokesman Jason Lasecki, but he did says they've "decided against them at this point."
Among smaller lines, the hero of the moment is small ship and river cruise operator Tauck World Discovery which is telling travel agents this week that it has decided that it's just not going to do fuel surcharges. Period.
"Our customers purchased a tour cruise tour experience from us (for a certain price), and that was our promise to them," says Tauck CEO Dan Mahar. "We just don't feel right going back and changing it now, after the fact."
Mahar says the company (which operates the Swiss Emerald, pictured above) prides itself on not nickel-and-diming customers. Indeed, Tauck's big selling point is its all-inclusive, pay-one-price formula. Now's not the time to change that, says Mahar, even if rising fuel prices are causing what he calls a "short-term hit" to earnings.
"Individually, it doesn't sound like a lot, but when you go to a customer and say you've purchased a $5,000 river cruise from us and you owe us another $52, it just doesn't feel right."

Project of the Week
July 7th
My introduction to Russell Heights came at the invitation of Kevin and Eirn, two teenagers who took part in a photography workshop I gave at the local arts centre. The title of the project, My Last Day at Seventeen was uttered by Eirn when I photographed her on the eve of her eighteenth birthday.
My photographs consist of portraits, interiors; improvised and directed scenes of neighborhood life. I concentrate on the youth from the neighborhood, varying in ages up to their early 20's. Collectively, the photographs present a loosely articulated account of adolescence in Ireland and a somewhat fictional, somewhat documentary coming of age story about a small group of teenagers from Russell Heights.

ING U.S. Poll Shows More Americans Must Enter The Retirement 'Race'
WINDSOR, Conn., Nov. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- With the annual ING New York City Marathon on Sunday, Nov. 4, ING U.S. today released data 1 revealing that over half of consumers (56 percent) think saving for retirement is more difficult than training for a marathon (44 percent). The data points to a need for consumers to be more aware of their "financial fitness," applying the same strategies they would in marathon training — a plan and long-term focus — to their financial planning efforts.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121101/CL04122-INFO)
According to the results, a majority (53 percent) noted that they consider themselves to be only "warming up" when it comes to their financial fitness, having only just begun saving for retirement, while 12 percent are just watching from the sidelines, admitting they have not started saving for retirement at all. About a third (32 percent) of respondents believed they are on track to retire on time, and only three percent of all respondents have "crossed the finish line," having already met their retirement goals.
"Whether or not you commit to running 26.2 miles in life, every American should 'get into the race' when it comes to their retirement planning," said Maliz Beams, chief executive officer of ING U.S. Retirement. "It's very similar to long-distance running — preparing for a secure retirement requires the same discipline, training and long-term strategy. Short-term goals should also be set, including revisiting and tracking your savings and investment plans on a regular basis."ING U.S. urges consumers to start preparing today for the financial security they expect and deserve tomorrow by taking incremental steps with their retirement planning and saving:
- Conditioning: Start getting into financial shape by saving regularly for retirement through a workplace savings plan and/or an IRA.
- Training: Get into the habit of regularly reviewing your investments and assessing your entire financial fitness. This includes reviewing your family's insurance needs and identifying your short- and medium-term savings goals.
- Maintaining Momentum: Continue to be vigilant with your finances and consider consulting a professional coach (financial advisor) who can help put you on the right track.

Apple-Google learn Corporate Governance 1.0
LONDON, Aug 3 (Reuters) – The resignation of Google CEO Eric Schmidt from Apple's board should come as no surprise to anyone with an inkling of what corporate governance means.
But then Silicon Valley's idea of corporate boards has long consisted of cozy, interlocking directorships which would be considered collusion in most other industries.
Google's CEO is not leaving Apple's board voluntarily. He is only stepping down in response to the increased government scrutiny of obvious potential conflicts of interest between the two companies.
Yet regulators shouldn't be content with Schmidt's departure. The truth is that Apple and Google have been heading into the same markets for years. A veritable chain of overlapping business ties remain in place even if the most obvious formal link is now broken.
The chairman of Apple's board, former Genentech CEO Art Levinson, remains on Google's board. Another Google board member, Ann Mather, is the former chief financial officer of Steve Jobs' former animation company, Pixar Studios.
Paul Otellini, the CEO of Intel Corp, Apple's main chip supplier, also sits on Google's board. Al Gore remains on Apple's board, but in his new turn as venture capitalist he has many business ties to Google and its founders. Gore is a partner of Google board member John Doerr at legendary Silicon Valley VC firm Kleiner Perkins.
For months, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission has been examining Schmidt's participation on the boards of the tech world's two most dynamic companies. Last week, the Federal Communications Commission said it was looking into Apple's decision to reject a Google phone application to run on the iPhone.
Google's CEO says he has consistently recused himself from Apple board discussion of the iPhone. There's no reason not to take him at his word. But that's largely a distraction from the bigger issues at stake here,
Schmidt need not have participated actively in iPhone discussions. By taking part in discussions of the rest of Apple's strategy, Schmidt was in a position to steer Google's own strategies around the Apple juggernaut. Rivals need not cooperate directly to divvy up markets.
Anyone following the industry knows that Apple and Google have been moving in similar directions since well before Schmidt joined Apple's board three years ago. As computers become more like phones and the Internet becomes more mobile, the competition has become only more obvious.
By August 2006, both companies were hard at work on their plans to enter the mobile phone market. In September 2005, Apple made its first failed foray into the market with a joint development effort with Motorola that led to the introduction of the Motorola ROKR iTunes phone.
A month before — and a year before Schmidt joined Apple's board — Google had acquired mobile device start-up Android, forming the genesis of its own push into mobile phone markets.
Six months after Schmidt became a director, Apple unveiled its ground-breaking iPhone, in January 2007. Fevered speculation mounted throughout 2007 that Google was working on its own so-called GPhone.
In November of that year, Google introduced its Android software for mobile phone development. In September of 2008, the first Android-powered phone built by Taiwan phone maker HTC for T-Mobile was introduced.
So far, Apple has been content to attack the high-end of the smartphone market. Google is aiming at the mid-priced phone market and new mini-notebook computers with Android. But the conceit that the two companies aren't competitors is wearing thin.
Reforming corporate boards has never been easy in Silicon Valley. Recall the boardroom battles that cost former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina her job. They pitted H-P's old guard against corporate governance advocates who were Fiorina's allies. The decline of Yahoo is another obvious example of failed board governance.
Independent corporate governance is an afterthought in the go-go corporate culture of Silicon Valley, where entrepreneurs backed by venture capitalists launch start-ups. Even years after an IPO, the founders and their VC backers typically keep disproportionate control over "their company."
Investors bear no small part of the blame. Most care only in retrospect, once rocket-fueled growth subsides and the shares of former high-tech stars fall back to Earth.
For now, both Apple and Google shares are moving higher, as the tradition of weak corporate governance looks set to survive a while longer.

This reader generally finds Eric Auchard easier to follow than in the present article, which ought to be interesting, but in my opinion leaves much room for confusion.
Is the point here that Apple and Google are not competing sufficiently against one another, or that they\'re competing too much and if so, how could this possibly be the case? Frankly, I\'d like to see them compete more rather than less, but it\'s really hard to tell from what has been written here whether they do and what makes them any worse than [insert long list of major U.S., corporations here].
In passing, would it not be appropriate also to actively question the debilitating role in post-IPO terms that VC can and too often does exert upon emerging industries, by dictating terms of policy and players involved? There\'s more than a smattering of governance ethics needing dealt out and enforced in the entire business sphere of so-called Venture Capital, and has been for over a decade. Which brings us to the present.
Corporate governance – or lack thereof – would be a fundamental topic of immense importance if properly argued across the board in American [for lack of a better word] industry.
I for one would like to see corporate cartel considerations scrutinized more closely in general, rendered transparent, (within reason) enforceable and, particularly in this case, put in better perspective before concluding the debate.

Engineering is a dynamic and exciting field of work that naturally involves work in chemistry, physics, mathematics, and other basic sciences. But engineering is more than just knowledge of mathematical relationships and chemical formulae. Engineering inherently involves problem solving, and problem solving is the seed of innovation that can, and often does, blossom into discovery and invention. This online course will provide the engineer with a basic understanding of the laws that surround the protection of ideas, discoveries, and inventions, including the intellectual property (IP) law principles that surround patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets.
On September 16, 2011, the America Invents Act (AIA) was enacted, representing the first major overhaul of the U.S. Patent system in nearly 60 years. The AIA substantively changes many aspects of patent law, such as:
- a switch to a first-to-file system
- providing new types of prior art to invalidate patents
- providing many new ways to challenge patents, both pre and post-grant; and
- providing new defenses to patent infringement, among others
In keeping, "Intellectual Property for Chemical Engineers" has also been recently overhauled to provide the learner with the most up-to-date information regarding the new U.S. Patent laws. Students enrolling in this course will be exposed to numerous basic patent laws and corresponding strategy, both pre-AIA and post-AIA, as well as to other intellectual property laws and principles, such as trade secrets, copyrights and trademarks.

- 1/4 – 1/2 cup macadamia nuts, chipped
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut or coconut chips
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup honey or sweetener of choice (optional)

3. Mix well and pour onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
4. Place in the freezer to set. Once it has hardened, break into pieces.

If you are using a dry sugar to sweeten, I would "powder" it in a coffee grinder or blender or it will be gritty
You could use almonds instead of macadamia nuts.

The figures come out in a study made at Aalto University in Finland examining developments in food availability and food self-sufficiency in 1965. Researchers of Aalto University examined the development of food availability in recent decades for the first time.
Food availability has improved especially in the Middle East and North Africa, Latin America, China, and Southeast Asia. Although food availability has increased on the global level, food self-sufficiency has remained relatively low.
- In the 1960s and 1970s, insufficient food production in a country amounted to food shortage, but nowadays the production deficit is increasingly balanced through food imports, says Aalto University researcher Miina Porkka.
The proportion of people living in countries that are significant net importers of food has more than tripled during the period under examination. The countries of North Africa and the Middle East, for instance, have become increasingly dependent on imported food. In these countries, food availability has increased from low to a very high level, even though domestic food production has remained inadequate.
Brazil, on the other hand, has become one of the world's most important producers of food for export. In the 1960s, food supply in the country was still inadequate, but in the past decades Brazilian food production has grown exponentially and food consumption is now more than sufficient.
The study also examined dietary changes that have taken place in different countries. The proportion of people consuming large amounts (more than 15 per cent of energy intake) of animal-based nutrition has increased from 33 per cent to more than 50 per cent. This together with over consumption of calories in many countries is putting an increased pressure on the planet's limited natural resources. At the same time, however, over a third of the world's population is still living with insufficient food supply.
This study was published in PLOS ONE journal. The study was conducted by the researchers from Aalto University in Finland and University of Bonn in Germany. The research was financed by Maa- ja vesitekniikan tuki ry., the Academy of Finland and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

Mercury in the Environment: A Brief Symposium (1 pm 5 pm)
- Mercury is a persistent pollutant with significant adverse impact on human health. Human activity, especially burning of coal for generation of electricity, has increased levels of atmospheric mercury. Wet deposition monitoring provides a quantitative link between atmospheric mercury and mercury entering aquatic systems. Many tribes are very concerned about the amount of mercury in fish harvested from tribal waters, and consumed by their members. Wet deposition of mercury monitoring is an effective and useful method for tracking this mercury movement. Topics to be discussed include the chemistry and health effects of mercury, its various sources, importance of deposition measurements, various monitoring methods currently used by tribes, and the role of the national networks in the current understanding of environmental mercury. The value of tribal programs participation in mercury deposition monitoring, alternative sources of funding and the need for additional monitoring sites in Indian Country will also be discussed. Presenters: Scott Weir, Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas and Dr. David Gay, National Atmospheric Deposition Program. Click HERE to register
