Jim Beauregard's Tasting Notes: More gluten-free choices
Recall from last time that Celiac disease, a nasty thing, rules out consumption of the wheat that is found in so much of our food. An alternative to beers made with wheat or barley, gluten-free beers are made from plants that don't contain gluten, and these include so-called "grist materials" from malted sorghum, buckwheat and common millet.
So let's continue the journey where we left off with tasting notes of more gluten-free beers (prices are from Bert's Better Beers in Hooksett):
New Planet Tread Lightly Ale, $3.15. Clear/Pale gold, small white head, hoppy nose, Sharp palate, hoppy, good acidity, balanced components, long finish that keeps the hops going.
New Planet Pale Ale, $3.15. Amber gold, light tan head, sorghum and brown rice extract in this one, a nose that gives some malty sense, balanced and strong palate with good bitterness, hops that come through with a malt flavor, also well-balanced, intense flavors of hops and light malt. Both this one and the one above could pass for regular old beers if you didn't know they were made differently.
New Planet 3R Raspberry Ale, $3.15. Very light nose, white head with just the tiniest hint of pink, gold beer, and the raspberry comes through on the palate, ripe and rich, this can be a draw to anyone who likes fruit beers, the raspberry stays with you along a long, steady finish.
Omission Lager, $2.15. 4.6% abv. Small white frothy head, slowly diminishing, yellow pale beer, rather intense hoppy nose, reflected on the palate as well. Moderate bitterness, reasonable acidity, balanced alcohol, light body, medium-light texture. Good finish.
Omission Pale Ale, $2.15. Back into the amber ballpark, light tan head, slightly cloudy unfiltered look, light malty nose, malty palate, with bitterness coming to the fore toward the finish. Light bodied, good carbonation, good balance of components, some roasted and bread notes.
S'Peter's Sorgham Beer, $5.75. A little skunky when opened, then hops hints, white head, pale gold beer, all hops, no malt on the palate, very good bitterness, I think of this one as a food beer, paired with something spicy.
S'Peter's Dark Sorgham Beer, $5.99. Dark brown, but not opaque, light tan head that lasts, good bitterness, citrus type flavors, hay, grassiness. Profile stays through the finish.
Green's Amber Ale. $6.45. Amber ale under a tan frothy head. Darker, animal type notes, toffee ballpark, the palate is darker, more toward molasses, but not too intense, some nutty and burned notes. Medium body, more filling.
Green's Tripel Blonde Ale, $6.45. Blonde it is, light gold, pale, white head, fresh bracing nose of white fruit, hints of tartness, bracing flavors of fruit, not overwhelming, but held well in balance, on the white fruit, citrus end of the spectrum. Pleasing finish.
Green's Dubbel Dark Ale, $6.45. Brown, heading toward black beer, light brown head, and this one's made from millet, buckwheat, rice, sorghum, hops, yeast and water. The nose is very light, hints of fruit in the citrus region. Medium body, medium bitterness, good carbonation, balanced components, and the flavor profile brings the fruit, also some balanced bitterness in harmony on a long finish.
If you're interested, stop by Bert's in Hooksett, and ask him to point you toward the gluten-free section. It's right near the mead, which is gluten-free, too.

Senior Investigator Awards in Medical Humanities
We will support researchers who have an international track record of significant achievement, who have demonstrated the originality and impact of their research, and who are leading their field.
Senior Investigator Awards provide flexible support at a level and length that is sufficient to enable exceptional researchers to address the most important questions about medicine in its social, cultural, and historical contexts.
The Medical Humanities funding scheme supports bold and intellectually rigorous research applications that address important questions at the interface of medicine, health-related sciences, and the wider humanities. While we encourage interdisciplinary work, our principal aim is to fund the best research by the brightest scholars at all stages in their academic careers.
What's included
Typical Senior Investigator Awards are for up to five years and provide a generous and flexible package of funding.
A Senior Investigator Award might be in the range of £100k to £200k per year, depending on the needs of your research and your ability to justify the proposed costs.
You can discuss the scope and scale of your proposal with the Trust before submitting your application.
The award covers the direct costs of carrying out the research, such as:
- research expenses, including research assistance
- travel and subsistence and funding for collaborative activity
- capacity-building initiatives, public engagement initiatives and research leave
- research, symposia and dissemination activities.
The award does not include your salary costs. These must be provided by your host institution.
You are expected to justify the costs requested. The costs awarded will be finalised after the decision to fund an application is made and will depend on the recommendations of the Selection Panel. Please note that any award will not exceed the total amount requested.
Please note that the Trust does not fund on a proportion of
full economic costs (fEC) basis.
See costs guidance for Investigator Awards [Word 124KB] for further information on what costs are allowed or disallowed.
If you are based in the UK, the Republic of Ireland or a low- or middle-income country:
- You should have an established academic post at an eligible higher education or research institution. By this, we mean you are employed on a permanent, open-ended or long-term rolling contract, salaried by your host institution.
- You are also eligible to apply if you have a written guarantee of an established academic post at your host institution, which you will take up by the start of the award.
If you are uncertain whether your employment status meets the above eligibility criteria, please contact the Trust for advice (see 'Contacts').
Other eligibility information
- We encourage applications from outstanding individuals who have taken career breaks. With this in mind, time spent outside a research environment (full- or part-time) can be taken into account when assessing your eligibility and the competitiveness of your CV.
- You may hold only one Senior Investigator Award at any one time.
Joint applications
Joint applications are welcome from two researchers who are working closely together towards a shared research vision. Please contact the Trust for advice before completing your application form.
Senior Investigator Awards are highly sought after, prestigious awards. We aim to select world-leading researchers who have an established track record of significant achievement that demonstrates the originality and impact of their research, who have international reputations for excellence, and who propose a compelling long-term vision for their research to explore the most challenging and important questions in their field of study.
We expect that you will:
- be an internationally recognised research leader
- have published significant intellectual contributions to research and, for medical historians, have published a monograph
- have a strong track record of attracting sustained and substantial research grant support from major funding bodies
- have a strong training record supporting the development and mentoring of less experienced researchers.
Host institution: what the Trust expects
The environment in which you will undertake your research and the nature of the support promised by the host institution are important factors when we are evaluating your application.
Your main application must be accompanied by a statement of commitment on behalf of your host institution from the most senior authority in the relevant Faculty, School or Division. This should express:
- why your institution considers that you, in particular, merit Senior Investigator Award status
- how your institution will support you to ensure that the ambitions of your research proposal can be achieved
- how your research proposal complements and addresses your institution's strategic aims and priorities.
The statement should also confirm:
- the nature of your employment contract and its compliance with our eligibility criteria for Senior Investigator Awards
- the source of your salary for the duration of the award
- that the necessary additional space, facilities and infrastructure will be made available to you for the research for the duration of the award
- details of any support (financial, administrative, technical or other assistance) that your institution will commit to supporting the application.
Application process
Awards will be made following a rigorous review process and interview.
You are strongly advised to refer to the Additional information for completing the Investigator Award form [PDF 48KB], which provides an overview to help guide you through the Investigator Award application process. You may also wish to download a sample application form .
Stage 1: Preliminary application- Now a compulsory stage

I'm interested in obtaining some bees to pollinate my fruit tree orchard. After reading a bunch of information on the internet about different bee options, I'm confused as to whether there's an advantage here on the East Coast (I'm coastal Maine) to going with the blue orchard mason bee (Osmia lignaria) over the Japanese hornfaced bee (Osmia cornifrons). What I've read is that the hornfaced bee reputedly can do an even better job than the orchard mason bee with the number of blossoms they can pollinate in a given day. I'm having difficulty however finding folks in the Eastern US who are specifically using this bee. Most folks using either seem to have chosen the orchard mason bee. Is there a reason for this? Would anyone be willing to give me the run down on the pros and cons of going with each? I'd love to give the Japanese bee a try if I can find a reputable supplier of the bees. The few whose names I've Googled seem to be out of business. I hope this isn't a bad sign. Any suggestions?
Also, once my trees reach fruit bearing age, I'll have approximately 7 acres that will need pollinating. It would be good to get an idea how many nesting blocks I'd need, how many bees and how far apart the blocks would need to be spaced. Any/all feedback greatly appreciated. Thanks! John |
Follow-Up Postings:
John, you may want to re-ask your question in a pollination forum; perhas you'll get a better response there. I'm not sure we have very many Japaneese hornface bee experts here. Here's a generally informative link about the bee in question: http://maarec.cas.psu.edu/PDFs/japhornface.pdf I see it's solitary bee, used primarily as a pollinator for apple trees at present. Seems to me, finding a "supplier" of this bee could be challenging (especially in the east). Good luck with that... |

Has anyone else seen this?
This is a discussion on EPA Considering Banning Lead Ammunition. Action Needed! within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Has anyone else seen this? http://www.nssfblog.com/epa-consider...ke-action-now/...
Has anyone else seen this?
WOW this is suckin'. I am sorry but there are no other ammunition alternatives. Steel does not conform to a barrel, warp, or alter it's shape during the transition from molded and formed to deformed and squeezed through the rifling of a firearm.
We all know this. How do we fight this non sense?
I believe that unless there is an alternative technology that can be sold to all mainstream America, a ban on lead bullets is a direct violation and infringement of the 2a. The right to bear arms, not written but ammunition, go hand in hand as a firearm is not a firearm with ammunition. That would be a violation. I believe that the supremes would need to be involved in this if it were to pass.
"I believe that the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms must not be infringed if liberty in America is to survive." - Ronald Reagan
This is Obama's EPA, with Obama's thug running it. They are having a period for public comment, but I'm not holding my breath. What's next, wheel weights?
"First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand."
Edge of Darkness
It does not surprise me at all.
"The Second Amendment: America's Original Homeland Security"
Bullets are made slightly larger than the bore they are being rammed through. Not by much but how else do you get a good tight seal...
Anyways how do we fight this? I am not feeling or liking the thought of ramming steel rounds through my barrel.
"I believe that the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms must not be infringed if liberty in America is to survive." - Ronald Reagan
State Associations are putting out the word on this.... as legit and needs reaction NOW.
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. --- Will Rogers ---
Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."
I went to EPAs website and of course they don't have anything about this on there (that I could find). I even went to their lead page and didn't see anything.
That would pretty much put ammunition manufacturers out of business,and trickling down from there everyone elseThey can have my casting equipment when they pry it from my cold dead fingers.
I can see a news article in the future,today the Customs and enforcement agents stopped and arrested a white 50sumpin year old trying to smuggle 2 tons of lead into the USA,he claims he needs it to make some plinkin rounds,The Border guards became suspicious when they noticed all four tires looked flat,but a pressure check showed 200 psi
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
Actually, there is some serious concern about the possible problem of lead levels on indoor ranges. There are alternatives to lead e.g. copper
There is a thread about lead levels here
The EPA has also hinted that they might make lead fishing sinkers illegal. This would pretty much shut down many sporting fisheries (e.g. fluke/sea bass charters along the East Coast.)
The lead issue is simply a means to an end... the end of hunting, shooting and fishing. And there are many who want it to happen.
The United States Constitution © 1791. All Rights Reserved.
Please read the article and pay attention to the part where it says that Congress specifically forbid EPA from doing what is now being claimed they are doing. One thing about Federal Agencies, they do nothing without elaborately laying out the legal authority they have to do it. So, everyone take a deep breath and relax. Congress forbid them from regulating this and they won't.
From the article linked to by the OP: "the Toxic Substance Control Act of 1976, a law in which Congress expressly exempted ammunition."
Nothing is going to happen until Congress changes the law and that ain't going to happen. Relax.
Now, as for lead based fishing lures, Congress didn't exempt those, but there are other substances which can be used. There are plenty of dense ceramic materials. Folks have made sinkers out of pebbles since eternity.
What is really needed is a big bunch of R&D directed to finding (creating through research) a material which will be an adequate substitute for lead or which can be used to greatly reduce the lead content of bullets. That is not an impossible or unreasonable goal.
Are you a thermometer or a thermostat, do you reflect or become what is happening in the room or do you change the atmosphere, reset the temperature when you come into the room?--Chuck Swindoll
Its not about guns...Its about Freedom!
There is another side effect this would have. Law enforcement agencies have to qualify their members at least anually. Can you imagine what it would do to the budgets of most small departments? Even if a substitute such as copper were used, can you imagine how much copper bullets would cost, considering the cost of copper?
"First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand."

Dear EPA,
I am only doing my ecological part by recyling used lead back into the soil from whence it came.

I can't believe John is transferring to my school. Probably the best news I've gotten all week. I miss him and my other friends from home, but now it won't be as bad. I'll be able to spend time with him more often.
I told Katlyn; she was excited for me as well. She suggested we all move into an apartment together next semester. I think she's moving a little fast, but he won't be transferring for a while still. We have until January or so to figure out what to do, and by that point, I think our relationship will be stronger and stand a far better chance of working out even if we live together. On the other hand, I was with my ex longer, and it still didn't work out.
I don't know, I guess I'll have to really put some thought into it and see how I feel about it a few months down the line. Either way, I do like her idea of living with John. Could be good times.

The house uses rigid-foam cladding, and it's very very tight, so we rely on the ERV for regular air changes. The unit is installed in the basement and the HVAC installers use insulated 6" flex duct (see link) for the intake and exhaust runs that are about 25 ft. http://www.homedepot.ca/product/flexible-insulated-ducting-6-inch-x-25-foot/959965 In our current home we've had to get the intake duct replaced three times because of either slits and tears in the vapour barrier, or else poor sealing on one side or the other, allowing humid inside air to get into the insulation and condensate on the inner duct that is passing really cold winter air to the unit. Each time water has accumulated in the lowest point of the duct run. After the first two times this happened, I stopped having the HVAC guys do the warranty repair and I terminated the ends of the ducting myself to make sure it was done properly. The installer was lazy and used screws to hold the duct to the exterior cap, and then just wrapped tons of "duck tape" around it, taping it on. I followed the proper installation procedures of sealing the duct and vapour barrier separately to the collar, etc. Problem is that when the installer shoved the duct up into the floor joist, it came in contact with a bunch of screws poking down through the subfloor from above. I tried to catch all the tears and seal them with tuck tape, but I must have missed some and after this winter, once again I'm getting a bit of water accumulating in the insulation. I'd like to not deal with this in the new home and replace the flex duct with insulated rigid ducting myself. Does this exist? If so could someone recommend what I'd need? Could I maybe get away with a smaller diameter since rigid wouldn't restrict airflow as much as the flex does? Thanks in advance! |

Metal duct with externally applied isulati. Make sure the sheet metal is sealed at EVERY joint (every corner also) before the insulation goes on. You likely will have to assemble, seal , then insulate the duct into one piece below its final position and then raise it up as required. Luckily it is not heavy, just big and flimsy. Since I usually had only a small work team, we would raise pieces of duct work like this using nylon webbing. At least one strap for each section of metal ducting to avoid stressing the joints between sections any more than we had to. Extra metal was often placed across the sealed joints from section to section to strengthen the large assembly. We shortened the webbing by stapling it to the sides of adjacent joists over and over to raise the piece nearly level. Then final strapping to hold it in place and removing the webbing used to raise it. Attach to the fixed end (outside wall collar) and then fit to the ERV (since you can at least move it slightly during attaching and sealing). It looks like on of the dumbest ways to install a run of duct, but it results in great sealing that survives installation with no leaks being introduced. |

[1504] Green Tea Polyphenol (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate (EGCG) Ameliorates Experimental Immune-Mediated Glomerulonephritis.
Ting Ye, Ai Peng, Dinesh Rakheja, Chandra Mohan, Xin J Zhou. UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX
Background: Oxidative stress and inflammation play critical roles in the pathogenesis of immune-mediated glomerulonephritis (GN). The green tea catechins, particularly (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), are potent anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant agents shown to inhibit leukocyte chemotaxis, quench free radicals, chelate transition metals, and interrupt lipid peroxidation chain reaction. It is estimated that EGCG is 25 times more potent than vitamin E and 100 times more potent than vitamin C making it an attractive compound for the treatment of diseases such as anti-GBM-GN that are characterized by severe immunologic and oxidative injury. However, the effect of EGCG on the clinical and pathological progression of immune-mediated renal injury has not been investigated.
Design: We tested the hypothesis that the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties of EGCG may favorably affect the course of immune-mediated GN using a murine model of anti-GBM-GN. 129/svJ mice were challenged with rabbit anti-mouse-GBM sera to induce GN and subsequently divided into EGCG (50 mg/kg/day, orally) and vehicle treated groups. Routine histology, markers of oxidative stress and key molecules associated with redox and inflammatory pathways were studied.
Results: Vehicle-treated mice developed glomerular crescents, tubulointerstitial disease and inflammatory cell infiltrates. EGCG treatment led to reduced proteinuria and serum creatinine and marked improvement in renal histology. Vehicle-treated mice showed increased oxidative stress [malondialdehyde (MDA), H2O2 and nitrotyrosine], elevated osteopontin (OPN), p65-NFκB, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), NO metabolites, superoxide dismutase (SOD), myeloperoxidase (MPO), p-Akt, and p47phox, and reduced PPARγ, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and catalase activity. Treatment with EGCG led to a reduction in oxidative stress, normalization of OPN, p65-NFκB, iNOS, NO metabolites, p-Akt, p47phox, MPO, GPx, and PPARγ, and a significant increase in SOD expression.
Conclusions: our data suggest that EGCG ameliorates laboratory and histologic abnormalities in the mouse model of immune-mediated GN. These salutary effects of EGCG are likely mediated by the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties of this compound. These observations demonstrate the potential utility of EGCG as a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of immune-mediated glomerulonephritides and various other immune-mediated diseases.

I put pots of annuals out on the pool pavers for the winter and it became a big mess. I used regular bagged potting soil and it floated up and out and down and out. Now we have weed fields where the soil settled. I've removed the pots and transplanted the plants in the yard, and I'm cleaning up the mess.
It looked nice while it lasted. It gave the patio area color and interest and I could bring the smaller pots indoors when the nights became too cold. There must be simple solutions to this problem. I remember someone saying they used coffee filters on the bottom of the pot. Window screen? Mulch on top or rocks to hold the soil in? Carol B. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Didn't your pots have drain holes? |
Jane NY, yes. I used normal clay pots with drain holes and clay plates underneath. But the dirt still came out the bottom and overflowed the top and collected on the patio. That gave the weeds something to grow in. Maybe I have to use more care when watering. I just thought there was something simple to do. The very large pots I used for elephant ears did not flood or come out the bottom. Carol |
Fiberglass window screen is very inexpensive & works very well to keep soil from washing out of the drain holes. Plastic canvas (used for needlepoint projects - hobby stores) works great, too: Al |

Hello friends! For my mother's birthday, I'm going to do my best to recreate the Garden View Lounge Afternoon Tea, but at my house. :)
I'm looking for recipes for the tea sandwiches or any other items served. I did find this one online when I did a google search. It said it was from MICKEY'S GOURMET COOKBOOK: THE MOST POPULAR RECIPES FROM WALT DISNEY WORLD AND DISNEYLAND. Scones - the Garden View Lounge Afternoon Tea, Grand Floridian Resort Yield: 24 Ingredients: 4 cups All-purpose flour 3 tablespoons Baking powder 1/2 cup Sugar 3 eggs 2 tablespoons Shortening 2 tablespoons Margarine 1 1/4 cup Milk 1 teaspoon Salt 1 cup Golden raisins Method: Mix flour, baking powder and sugar with margarine, shortening and salt. Add eggs. Slowly add milk, blending well until smooth. Fold in raisins. Roll out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out with 2" round cutters; bake on lightly greased sheet pan in 425 degree oven for 10-15 minutes. |
There are 2 recipes for sandwiches from there in the Disney Recipe thread in this forum, just check the Index :wave2:

(Attica, OH) Bryan Sebetto did everything he could to take the Attica Raceway Park track championship for the O'Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprints….but came up eight points short. Sebetto came into Saturday's Kistler Racing Products/All Pro Cylinder Head Mark Keegan Classic Championship Night third in the points, just a few behind Dean Jacobs. With five laps to go, Sebetto was in second and Jacobs was in eighth and if Sebetto could win and Jacobs would not have advanced any positions, Sebetto would have claimed the track title. When Sebetto passed six time Attica champ Byron Reed for the lead with three laps to go, it looked like that might happen. But, Jacobs got up on the wheel of his Seeling owned machine and finished fifth to earn his Attica championship. "I didn't have a very good car. We have a problem right now and we don't know what it is. We're blistering a right rear tire and we haven't done that all year. Something is bound up or something…hopefully we will get it figured out and not let this FAST deal get away from us," said Jacobs beside his Northwest Ohio Towing & Recovery/NAPA Truck and Auto Center backed #97. "This is pretty cool, but we're after the big prize and we have to quit doing this," added Jacobs who became only the seventh driver to claim a 410 sprint title at Attica since the track opened in 1988. With the $3,000 victory on a Kistler Racing Products Fremont Attica Sprint Title Championship points race night, Sebetto no leads the quest for the Kistler Cup and its $10,000 pay day with just one more FAST event remaining, that coming at Fremont Speedway on Sept. 10. Sebetto leads Jacobs by just 15 points. Bellevue, Ohio's Ryan Missler suffered mechanical woes while leading the Fultz Fabrications and Speed Shop UMP Late Model feature and dropped out. But, his consistent top 10 finishes all year was good enough to earn him his third straight Attica track championship. Ada, Ohio's Jon Henry passed five time Attica champion Larry Kingseed with three laps to go to claim his eight Attica late model win of the year. Henry has 14 overall victories in 2011. "We had this one…we've been battling ignition problems the past couple of weeks. The car has been great…Dennis Level builds a hell of a motor…it's fine, it's an ignition problem. We had them covered tonight…the car was perfect. I just wish we could have been the only car on the horse track tonight," said Missler of his track title run. "I have to thank Taze DJ Service, Quality Welding, Terry McConnell Excavating, Bellevue Beverage Center , J&H Concrete, Twin Lakes Golf Course, York Fabrication and all the supporters," added Missler. In the Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature, Fremont , Ohio 's Paul Weaver held off Paige Polyak to claim his second straight victory and fourth win of the season. It was his 28th career victory to lead all drivers in the division. With his fourth place finish, Bradner , Ohio 's Nate Dussel would wrap up his first career track championship in the 305 sprints. "This is huge. I owe it all to these guys," said Dussel pointing to his crew. "When they were pushing out the 410 feature we found out the front end was messed up so we had to rip the whole front end out of it and that's because of all the hard work we put in this winter…to make sure we had spares." "I couldn't have done this without Scott Gressman, Dave Deyo, Bill…this is only partially me," added Dussel beside his Berrier Fabrication/Dussel Welding backed machine. In the Computer Man Dirt Trucks, Willie Keegan held off Cory Ward for his second straight feature win. With his fourth place finish, Fostoria 's Bob Dible claimed his first ever track championship. "It's been a long 10 years coming but I knew something good would happen. I just needed a year when I could keep everything together and stay out of trouble and Attica seemed the place to do that this year," said Dible beside his Bob's Machine Shop/BMS Engines backed #17. "Coming over hear I always feel I can be one of the guys to beat and I have a lot of fun racing here."

In 1991, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) asked the National Research Council (NRC) to provide technical guidance for establishing community emergency exposure levels for extremely hazardous substances (EHSs) pursuant to the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986. In response to that request, the NRC published Guidelines for Developing Community Emergency Exposure Levels for Hazardous Substances in 1993. Subsequently, Standing Operating Procedures for Developing Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Hazardous Substances was published in 2001; it provided updated procedures, methods, and other guidelines used by the National Advisory Committee (NAC) on Acute Exposure Guideline Levels (AEGLs) for hazardous substances for assessing acute adverse health effects.
Twenty-first Interim Report of the Committee on Acute Exposure Guideline Levels: Part A
Extremely hazardous substances (EHSs) can be released accidentally as a result of chemical spills, industrial explosions, fire, or accidents involving railroad cars or trucks transporting EHSs, or they can be released intentionally through terrorist activities. These substances can also be released by improper storage or handling. Workers and residents in communities surrounding industrial facilities where EHSs are manufactured, used, or stored and in communities along the nation's railways and highways are potentially at risk of being exposed to airborne EHSs during accidental or intentional releases.

Role of Science and Judgment in Setting National Ambient Air Quality Standards: How Low is Low Enough?
By McClellan, R. O.
The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires listing as criteria air pollutants those pollutants that arise from multiple sources and are found across the United States. The original list included carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, particulate matter, photochemical oxidants (later regulated as ozone), and hydrocarbons. Later, the listing of hydrocarbons was revoked and lead was listed. The CAA requires the US EPA Administrator to set National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for these pollutants using the "latest scientific knowledge" at levels that, in the judgment of the Administrator, are "requisite to protect public health" while "allowing an adequate margin of safety" without considering the cost of implementing the NAAQS. The NAAQS are set using scientific knowledge to inform the Administrator's policy judgments on each NAAQS. Recently, there has been increasing tension and debate over the role of scientific knowledge versus policy judgment in the setting of NAAQS. This paper reviews key elements of this debate drawing on the opinion of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, in Whitman v. American Trucking Associations, to resolve the conundrum posed by the CAA language. I conclude that scientists should carefully distinguish between their interpretations of scientific knowledge on specific pollutants and their personal preferences as to a given policy outcome (i.e., specific level and form of the NAAQS), recognizing that these are policy judgments as to acceptable levels of risk if the science does not identify a threshold level below which there are no identifiable health risks. These policy judgments are exclusively delegated by the CAA to the US EPA Administrator who needs to articulate the basis for their policy judgments on the level and form of the NAAQS and associated level of acceptable risk.
Product Stewardship and Science: Safe Manufacture and Use of Fiber Glass
By Hesterberg, T. W., R. Anderson, D. M. Bernstein, W. B. Bunn, G. A. Chase, G. M. Marsh, A.L. Jankousky, and R. O. McClellan
This paper describes a proactive product stewardship program for glass fibers. That effort included epidemiological studies of workers, establishment of stringent workplace exposure limits, liaison with customers on safe use of products and, most importantly, a research program to evaluate the safety of existing glass fiber products and guide development of new even safer products. Chronic inhalation exposure bioassays were conducted with rodents and hamsters. Amosite and crocidolite asbestos produced respiratory tract cancers as did exposure to "biopersistent" synthetic vitreous fibers. "less biopersistent" glass fibers did not cause respiratory tract cancers. Corollary studies demonstrated the role of slow fiber dissolution rates and biopersistence in cancer induction. These results guided development of safer glass fiber products and have been used in Europe to regulate fibers and by IARC and NTP in classifying fibers. IARC concluded special purpose fibers and refractory ceramic fibers are "possibly carcinogenic to humans" and insulation glass wool, continuous glass filament, rock wool and slag wool are "not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity to human." The NTP's 12th report on carcinogens lists "Certain Glass Wool Fibers (Inhalable)" as "reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen." "Certain" in the descriptor refers to "biopersistent" glass fibers and excludes "less biopersistent" glass fibers.
Evaluation of Carcinogenic Hazard of Diesel Engine Exhaust Needs to Consider Revolutionary Changes in Diesel Technology
By McClellan, R.O., T.W. Hesterberg, and J.C. Wall
Diesel engines, a special type of internal combustion engine, use heat of compression, rather than electric spark, to ignite hydrocarbon fuels injected into the combustion chamber. Diesel engines have high thermal efficiency and thus, high fuel efficiency. They are widely used in commerce prompting continuous improvement in diesel engines and fuels. Concern for health effects from exposure to diesel exhaust arose in the mid-1900s and stimulated development of emissions regulations and research to improve the technology and characterize potential health hazards. This included epidemiological, controlled human exposure, laboratory animal and mechanistic studies to evaluate potential hazards of whole diesel exhaust. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (1989) classified whole diesel exhaust as–"probably carcinogenic to humans." This classification stimulated even more stringent regulations for particulate matter that required further technological developments. These included improved engine control, improved fuel injection system, enhanced exhaust cooling, use of ultra low sulfur fuel, wall-flow high-efficiency exhaust particulate filters, exhaust catalysts, and crankcase ventilation filtration. The composition of New Technology Diesel Exhaust (NTDE) is qualitatively different and the concentrations of particulate constituents are more than 90% lower than for Traditional Diesel Exhaust (TDE). We recommend that future reviews of carcinogenic hazards of diesel exhaust evaluate NTDE separately from TDE.

AbstractThis paper presents the production conditions of feminist art in the Russian context, as well it identifies some of the mechanisms that difficult visibility for women artists. It raises some of the strategies, criteria and intentions of the artists to achieve gender equality within and outside the artistic field. This study also focus on the reception practices of the publics that visited the exhibition of feminist art held in MMOMA: it presents its social composition, the motivations of the visits, their aesthetic taste, and ways of articulating comments (potentially generating and evoking gender issues) from the artworks they selected.

To support Coeliac UK Awareness week myself and my team of chefs from the Road Hole Restaurant have taken on the Gluten Free Challenge. Our team inlcuding Head Chef Ross Marshall, Sean McGinlay, Martin Po and Paddy Boyd have promised to live on a strict gluten free diet from Monday until Sunday this week recording our experiences in a diary.
I do think this week will be a difficult one; I tend to eat a lot of carbohydrates and unfortunately many of them are now off limits, as a result I find myself looking towards protein rich meals. I can see that if I was to remove gluten from my diet permanently I would need to plan my meals carefully to ensure that I had a balanced diet.
Last night I made a delicious butternut squash and goats cheese salad for dinner, I think that as a chef I am much more aware of the different ingredients available. I can imagine that many people will have difficulty finding the time and resources to make varied meals. That's exactly why I was so keen to get involved with this challenge; events such as Coeliac UK Awareness Week and the Gluten Free Challenge are a great way of raising awareness. Even in day two of the challenge my team have already noticed the lack of product options available to them, if they do not like the taste of one bread or biscuit brand there are very little alternatives. I do hope that Coeliac UK Awareness Week highlights the great resources are currently available to them such as the fantastic 9000 strong product database on Coeliac.org.uk.
Ross- Bread is the one thing I will definitely miss; I am already finding it difficult to source a gluten free loaf that I like the taste of. So far the challenge has been a lot more difficult than I had thought it would be. As the Head Chef at the Road Hole Restaurant I like to taste everything before I serve it, whilst I have to rely on my Sous Chef for tasting some dishes – we're lucky in that we use fresh, seasonal, local produce here so many of the dishes are naturally wheat and/or gluten free.
I had a day off work yesterday so I made myself a chicken curry being careful to check that all the spices I added were gluten free. Tonight as both Sean and I will be working we plan to try our new packet of gluten free pasta with a cherry tomato and basil sauce.
Sean- I like to cook for my girlfriend and myself however as I had not yet bought any gluten free pasta I had to serve the regular pasta dish to my girlfriend and make myself a tuna salad. Our local supermarket has a really good selection of gluten free products so I plan to make a visit this afternoon on my break to pick up some more gluten free bread, pasta and biscuits. Hopefully once I have more gluten free products I will be able to make meals that my girlfriend and I can enjoy together, I really don't want to cook two different meals for dinner every night but I'm sure I'll get into the swing of it!
Martin- I haven't had too many problems so far finding gluten free food but I'm sure that it will get harder as the week goes on. I have already bought some products; yesterday I had gluten free cheese toastie for lunch and today I made a gluten free pasta dish. I was surprised to find that I actually liked the pasta! The one thing that I know I will miss is pizza; I'm going to have to look for a gluten free pizza base recipe, I'll let you know how that turns out.
Patrick- Taking part in this challenge has made me realise just how much I like to snack, as a chef it can be difficult finding time for a full meal so I tend to eat smaller and quicker meals. My usual quick fix would be a sandwich, as I don't yet have any gluten free bread I have had to swap this for dishes such as a green salad or a fruit salad. I wasn't able to eat the food that my family had for dinner last night so I made myself sausage and mash, I was really surprised at how many sausage products were not suitable to eat. I can tell that this task is going to be a little more difficult than I had originally anticipated.

Kevin Durant will win his first MVP award. This season is setting up an unusual scenario in which Durant may well unseat the league's best player in the MVP race without the aid of narrative fireworks. Having already made "the leap," most would expect Durant to ride out the rest of his 20s, making subtle improvements to his game with corresponding boosts in his production. But KD's evolution has been anything but subtle. His improved help defense is punctuated with weak-side blocks, his court vision now invokes comparison to his only basketball superior in Miami and he's somehow an even smoother creator off the dribble than he was previously. But Durant and the Thunder -- despite a great start after the departure of Sixth Man Award winner James Harden -- have been almost completely eclipsed by the Knicks' shiny success, the Lakers-inspired schadenfreude and the Heat's occasional malaise. Durant may have years of feel-good coverage working in his favor, but in the most impressive season of his career he's been oddly under-covered. That quiet isn't likely to last, but in today's world of minute-to-minute reporting it's almost refreshing to see Durant very quietly close the gap on three-time winner LeBron James to the point where he makes for a credible MVP choice. 2. The Clippers will make the Western Conference finals. The West is shaping up to be a crucible. The top-four teams are a fantastic mix of talent and execution, but only two can make it to the conference finals. Memphis and San Antonio are as worthy picks as any, but the Clippers seem to be the most likely candidate -- if only by a hair -- to join the Thunder in the last stage of the conference playoffs. L.A.'s defense has come and gone, waxing and waning as if choreographed to Chris Paul's effort level or Jamal Crawford's streak shooting. But the sum of the parts in Clipperland begets a potentially fearsome two-way team, benefiting from a masterful offensive orchestrator, a deep roster and legitimate defensive improvement on the back line. [Ben Golliver: How the Clippers have built the NBA's best record] 3. Josh Smith will get a max deal as an unrestricted free agent. The omens for free-agent absurdity are all there: Paul appears entrenched with the Clippers, Dwight Howard (through his team's struggles and all) seems likely to remain a Laker and Andrew Bynum's wobbly knee may make him unfit to be a franchise cornerstone. But teams have been clearing cap space and maintaining flexibility for years in anticipation of making a run at one of those three stars, and so many suitors will be left all dressed up with nowhere to go. That's where Smith comes in, ready to tempt teams into handing out a massive contract when no better options come available. The 27-year-old Hawks forward is tremendously versatile, but his poor decision-making upends some of his varied production. Good passing skills inspire Smith to throw overly ambitious passes, a relatively nice handle encourages poorly conceived drives and the perimeter bent of his game instills an overconfidence in his jump-shooting abilities. But desperation often causes teams to overlook those very flaws, and the workings of the NBA salary structure (extensions, rookie-scale deals, etc.) force teams into using up cap space at specific times. For those franchises that have been planning around 2013, Smith may be the most attractive potential addition. He'll undoubtedly have a few teams competing for his services, and one is bound to offer him a maximum salary. 4. Derrick Rose will be awfully good when he returns, but won't ever be the same. Basketball fans everywhere are ready for Rose to get back on the court, and yet I can't help but shake the unsettling feeling that his game may mimic the state of his torn-and-repaired left knee. Even after medical professionals put Rose back together again, there will always be some remnant of his ligament tear, and a visible scar on his game that hearkens to his collapse to the United Center floor last April. That won't prevent Rose from jumping back into the conversation of the league's best players, albeit with something missing. He'll still be quick. He'll still be clever. He'll still be exactly what the Bulls need. But he may be just a tinge slower with a game that's just slightly less deadly. It may not seem like much, but in a read-and-react sport dependent on quick-twitch reflexes, even the slightest hesitation could cost Rose a great deal. [Watch: Rose's video series chronicling his rehab] 5. Yet another analytics-driven team will win the NBA title. Since 2004, five franchises (Heat, Spurs, Celtics, Lakers and Mavericks) have won an NBA title. All five scout, coach and/or make personnel decisions as informed by analytics, and this season's eventual champion will almost certainly follow suit. Miami and Oklahoma City are the favorites from each conference, and both run quiet, diligent forays into the quantitative side of the game. The Spurs and Grizzlies are also very much a part of that conversation, with the former being among the most numbers-savvy team cultures in sports and the latter having recently hired ESPN.com stat-head John Hollinger as vice president of basketball operations. Odds are good that one of those smart, analytics-inclined teams walks away with the Larry O'Brien trophy this season, in only the latest example of new-wave thinking making a significant difference in the way basketball operations are run. 6. The Mavericks and Jazz will miss the playoffs. Right now, 12 teamsare within striking distance of a top-eight seed in the West. That spells bad news for several playoff hopefuls, even assuming that they play well the rest of the way. Minnesota powered its way through a slew of injuries, but too often lets opponents hang around in otherwise winnable games. Denver is incredibly streaky, and it's not impossible that a prolonged lull could shove the Nuggets below the playoff cut. Houston and Portland are on the cusp, but could be burned by inexperience and lack of depth, respectively. Golden State is playing great basketball, but I'm reluctant to put complete faith in a defensive system (impressive though it may be) that's just 30 games old. Assuming that the Lakers stave off a midseason implosion and continue on their current trajectory, that leaves two other fringe playoff contenders unaccounted for -- and ultimately likely to fall into the chasm that separates the top eight from the rest of the pack. The Mavericks and Jazz both have the makings of competent teams, but unfortunately own the least promising résumés of all the West squads on the bubble. In Dallas' case, the makeshift roster put together to coast through this season just hasn't panned out. Though no one expected the Mavs to hold pace without Dirk Nowitzki in the lineup, there was some assumption that they would be able to get more defensive mileage out of the system that's guided them through the last few seasons. To make matters worse, the lack of a reliable point guard has doomed too many possessions before they've even begun. Nowitzki, who returned this week from preseason knee surgery, will help disguise some of those flaws with his offensive contributions, but Dallas is in real jeopardy of missing the postseason for the first time since 2000.Utah, on the other hand, is playing decently but remains ill-equipped to win out in this war of attrition. The Jazz rank only 24th in points allowed per possession, and the deficit created by their slow rotations leaves just enough of an opening for the rest of the playoff contenders to pass them by. A midseason trade could help rearrange some of Utah's resources, but even a fair deal isn't all that likely to save the Jazz from being nudged out of the postseason by a narrow margin. 7. Interest and involvement in the D-League will continue to increase around the NBA. The D-League isn't yet a true NBA farm system, but every year brings better talent, better league-to-league integration and a new crop of teams interested in owning (or functionally owning, via the hybrid model) their own direct affiliate. Assignments and call-ups are now incredibly routine, and the NBA is filled with D-League alumni. The next big avenue for D-League use is rehabilitation from injury -- a possibility created by the new CBA, and one already being taken advantage of by teams such as the Knicks. As NBA general managers and coaches get more comfortable with the affiliate system and the workings of the D-League in general, they'll only come to find more creative uses for it as an extension of their in-house operations. 8. The Kings and Wizards will have new coaches. Both teams are a mess, and at some point the blame will be coordinated against a single target. Who is at fault for Sacramento's nonsensical lineup combinations, consistent spacing issues or the very presence of Travis Outlaw in an NBA rotation? Who is to blame for Washington's heinous offense, makeshift rotation and league-worst record? It's not Keith Smart or Randy Wittman exclusively, but when things get testy and the records turn miserable, the coach is so often the first to go. 9. New luxury tax penalties will ultimately keep most high-spending teams in check. There may be no power on earth that can prevent mid-level teams from imprudently using up their cap space to sign mediocre players, but the luxury-tax penalties of the new collective bargaining agreement are starting to kick in and limit the league's biggest spenders. Already we've seen the title-winning Mavericks broken up partially because of the tax; the Knicks balk at matching an offer sheet to Jeremy Lin because of their massive salary total; the Bulls allow Omer Asik to walk because of a poison-pill contract offer; and the Thunder trade Harden because of the growing cost of their core. Mistakes always will be made in terms of assigning players a dollar value, but the punitive provisions of the CBA have created a legitimate deterrent for teams accustomed to living above the tax line. 10. The Nuggets will make at least one significant trade. Denver's phone will be active as the Feb. 21 trade deadline approaches. Virtually every player on the roster would be attractive to some potential trade partner, and those players' contracts are largely reasonable enough to attract plenty of interest. [The Point Forward: Examining the NBA's top trade targets]A less active general manager might choose to sit tight. But the Nuggets' Masai Ujiri can't seem to help himself, and since his arrival in Denver the franchise has been turned over entirely and tweaked incessantly. The fact that the Nuggets are a middle-of-the-pack West team only makes a potential trade more likely, and one can only imagine how a deal might offer some resolution to a cluttered depth chart. Ty Lawson and Kenneth Faried are more or less strapped down, but everything else seems available for trade. It'll just come down to Ujiri's tinkering with the offers available until he finds something he likes, with the timing and finances making sense for a Denver team with plenty of options.

And he types like an 8 year old AOL'er.
Also, I quit the game four months ago since my friends did, and now we do other stuff, but my dad kept since his friends still play and he likes spending time with him outside of the professional work environment, but he never shuts up about all the stuff he's doing in there. I seriously don't care!
