Martin Layton Long Tobacco Prevention and October 22, 2009 Control Branch Celebrating Success in North Carolina!! Winston-Salem Journal By James Romoser and John Hinton May 14, 2009 RALEIGH -- Smoking will be outlawed in every restaurant and bar in North Carolina starting early next year. After months of vigorous debate, the N.C. General Assembly gave final approval yesterday to a bill that marks a historic break with the state's long and lucrative tobacco legacy. It makes North Carolina the first major tobacco-producing state to pass such a restrictive ban on smoking.

Minor's Provision is bad for business and bad for public and worker health Restaurants will now fight smoking ban April 2, 2009 News and Observer: Under the Dome "It's pretty clear. We now strongly oppose the bill," said Paul Stone, president and CEO of the North Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association. "It creates a significant amount of unfairness. There are plenty of family friendly places that also have active bars later at night." Stone said that the state has 16,000 restaurants and 8,000 of them serve alcohol.

To Paint?
Would ya'll please read my blog post and give me your opinions? I'm debating painting a pie safe. It shouldn't be a hard decision...it's not like it's a valuable antique or anything.
But I just can not seem to decide whether to paint it or not. I think it's just that it's been this way for as long as I can remember and I'm not sure I should change it now. But then again, change is good...right?
Ya'll always have such great ideas, so I'm anxious to see what you think!
Here is a link that might be useful: To Paint or Not to Paint?
I'm probably not going to be any help, LOL. And you're probably going to get so many 'paint', and so many 'don't paint', you still will have no clear answer. ;o)
But I love wood, and most of the time cringe at someone painting over it....that being said...
on blogs I see so many 'after' photos of wood painted and I am dumbstruck at how great it looks and how much I like it.
Often its painted solid black, or solid white, and the difference is just amazing. Some are the sage green I love.
And in most all the cases of painting over wood, I love the results. I guess I never know what I like till I SEE it.
Whatever you do, its a beautiful piece of furniture with wonderful memories.
hugs, Karen
I'm voting with NanaKaren, it'll be much easier to make a decision once you see how it works in the kitchen as is. I do love painted furniture, I'm thinking of painting a walnut Victorian table, but DH will not be for it.
While I am a 'grab the paint brush' person I agree with Frou and Nana on this one - live with it for a while - see how it fits in with your decorating for the different seasons. I do like the idea of putting glass in the doors. Regardless of what you do it will remain a beautiful and treasured piece with a lot of memories - that is priceless :) .....
I agree, live with it first and see how it fits in. You might just want to then paint the inside a cream color to work with the cream cabs in the room. I would definitely get rid of the lace inserts, though, so that your dishes will be showcased.
I am totally the opposite of the others!! The wood finish doesn't appear to be that great although I know photos are never as good as the real item! Since the rest of your kitchen is fairly neutral, I would paint it. I can see it in a Barn Red distressed finish with chicken wire (aka poultry netting) in place of the lace, and a cute wallpaper lining the back behind the shelves. It would really give a pop of color to the room. It might also look great in a distressed black, or a sage green, or a slate blue....
I would stay away from white or cream as everything else in the room appears to be those tones.
I'm a "love wood natural finish" person but I would paint this beautiful pc. I say that because after 30 yrs in your bedroom, it's going to look like your bedroom pc to you out in the kitchen. With the Hoosier cabinet beside it, I think I would try to pick up that green on the edge of the Hoosier table top. Looks like your G'ma's pc already has crystal knobs which will match the Hoosier ones. Definitely would put glass doors in it...don't know what other glass is in your kitchen but maybe even a light frosted glass would look good.
Oh boy, you're going to have fun! Good luck! Beautiful kitchen & also G'ma's pc! Jeanne S.
Your cabinet is beautiful...I love the wood color.
I'm not against painting...
I live in a Farmhouse Colonial and have many painted furniture pieces...however, once you paint it, that's it..done deal...unless you paint it again.
So, live with it awhile - BEFORE you make your color decision. Also, accessorize it, to get a better 'feel' for the color you want to LIVE with AND want it to be. I've actually changed paint color on a breakfast hutch - 3 times. Also, it originally had glass doors on it and I removed them. Now, I have the look I'm happy with and that works better for me.
Have fun and good luck. I'm looking forward to seeing the end results.
I'm going to veer off on another path (and this coming from someone who usually has no problem wielding a paintbrush to something).
First, it's a beautiful and obviously very special piece to you. That's the important thing.
The next important thing is to remember, painted or not , it is still the same piece , just with newfound character.
I like the idea of for a few days, put the piece where you intend for it to "live" and look at it.
If this doesn't have the desired effect, there is always other options.
I would tend to want to keep it "seperate" from being to match-y to other pieces to keep it unique with its' history so probably would clean it well, buff any time honored knicks down, stain it in a color that you love which compliments your other decor ,change to a nice set of glass insets and put the lovely antique glass knobs back as they will compliment your Hoosier so well.
Whatever you decide, please do share. :)

Two tea party House members rail against timing of vote, choices, to replace Cantor
Two tea party-powered conservative House Republicans Thursday railed against House Speaker John Boehner's decision to hold a June 19 election to replace Eric Cantor as majority leader, saying it's deliberately timed to give more conservative lawmakers less time to mount a serous campaign.
Reps. Steve King, R-Iowa, and Michele Bachmann, R-Minn.,said they won't vote for either House Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., or House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions, R-Texas, becasue they believe the two candidates are soft on immigration, the issue that contributed to Tuesday's stunning defeat of Cantor in Virginia's Republican primary.
In addition, King and Bachmann believe the June 19 date is a railroad job set up by the current House Republican leadership to insure that a candidate that it likes wins.
'At a time when Republicans in Congress are fighting the Obama administration to oppose snap elections for unions on American employers, Republican leadership is trying to do the same in the United States House of Representatives,' King said in a statement. 'This snap election has the effect of stacking the deck.'
'We got the notice about 4:15 p.m.(Wednesday) from the lips of Eric Cantor that he was going to resign,' King told reporters Thursday. 'Five to 10 minutes later, John Boehner said we're going to hold a leadership election a week and a day from now. But that was hours into the whip efforts that had already been launched by our whip and the chairman of the rules committee. They had been giving a head start. They were out on the track and run a lap or two. We were gathered together at the starting line to hear the announcement that there was going to be a race and when it would start for us.'
King and Bachmann said they plan to talk with other conservative Republicans and mount an effort to delay the June 19 vote. King said he would have preferred to see Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, run for majority leader. Bachmann said she urged Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, to run. Hensarling announced Thursday that he won't seek the majority leader job.

It will soak up the glaze. Add 1-3coats. The bread will be moist, and the outside will remain somewhat sticky from the glaze. Sooo good.

Oaking? Suuure, but what about cherrying, appling, birching, walnutting, etc. I've got a piece of juniper that smells amazing and I'm considering chipping it up and adding it to some different wines for aging There are lots of woods that have wonderful aromatic properties that could impart interesting flavors and aromas so has anyone here ever experimented with different woods?
There was a guy on here did a lot of that before but he stopped posting a while back.... WVMJ
Don't willow, whatever you do!
I don't know for sure if there's salicyates (aspiring-like compounds) in the wood, but it sure tastes like there is. Bitter, bitter, bitter - nasty. If you have pain, and fever, and no other relief, bring it on - but personally, I like keeping my aspirin and wine in two different places.
My Dad and I put a Chardonnay over Manitoba Maple/Box Elder chips once, a long time ago. I didn't think it contributed a huge amount of flavour, certainly less than oak...but it "wood" be worth trying.
Haha. Yes, willow for sure would not be good. Willow bark has been used for centuries as a pain killer and does indeed contain salicin. There are lots of woods that contain oils and other compounds that I'm sure would be detrimental and even hazardous. Cocobolo, for instance, contains an oil that is a powerful irritant, so using it might result in some health issues.
I suppose I could make a large batch of something cheap and split it into several small batches after primary and use a variety of different woods to compare the effects of each wood.
My (over)reaction yesterday is explained as follows: even being aware of the salicin content, I still chose to make a nice roasting stick out of willow. Picked a particularly potent one, too, and had aspirin flavoured sausage and bannock, blech!
I've done the willow bark tea thing for pain when out in the back 40. An old-timer told me that he remembered back when that WAS the only aspirin his family had - he also said they drank it with tomato juice, though, to hide the flavour!
I'm kind of intrigued by walnut. I've always liked the way it smells when it's worked, esp. turned. Never thought of putting a potent potable on it for aging, though.
How about using the apple/cherry/etc. wood chips for smoking, in a wine?
I've thought that ageing on a fruit wood might be good.
If you do decide to split up a batch and age on different woods, let us know the results.
I planned on using cheery wood chips in a smoked cherry porter. I would assume it would contribute smokey notes more than anything else.
Simple beer doesn't have to be boring beer.
alright im about to ask a newbie question... So when your fermenting your wine you add these wood chips? or do you add them after racking? I have no clue on what to do but im looking to better myself at wine making.
Sip happens
Drank too much?...Is that a thing?

This tea is a very earthly tasting tea so it may taste nasty to some,but I thought it tasted pretty good and I also mixed it with Triple Leaf's Gingko Tea.In combination with He Shou Wu and a clean 90% raw food diet I had noticed more energy,mental sharpness,and also I think the ginseng increased T levels in me.Overall this is a good tea to add to your diet and you may or not experience the health benefits depending on your diet and lifestyle.

Saving money on water
Unfortunately, in this case you may have to spend to save.
Measure the water pressure in your house. If it is more than 60psi, turn down your water pressure regulator. If you dont have one, you will need to install one.
This will save on water used for dishes and showers.
My consumption dropped a lot after adding a pressure regulator.
I'll have to call my plumber and see what he thinks, but it's an interesting concept.....
How we save water....
For after meal clean-up and washing anything that doesn't go into the dishwasher, as well as rinsing off the dishes that do go into the dishwasher, we use approximately one-gallon of "saved water".
Saved water is the water that would normally run down the drain while the water gets hot enough for a shower. I collect it and store it in 3-gallon BPA-free water jugs.
To expedite this, you need to do the washing in a plastic tub/bowl (1-1/2 to 2-gallon capacity) placed in your sink. Sinks can hold anywhere between 6 and 15-gallons of water and this small amount would be lost.
I put 5-cups of room temperature water in the plastic tub. Then I heat 5-cups of water in the electric kettle (it just needs to be hot, not boiling) and add it. The remainder of the gallon is used to rinse with. When I calculated the cost for heating water in the electric kettle, microwave, and on the Induction hot plate, the kettle was faster (5-minutes using .11 KWH of electricity to come to a full boil). An electric kettle is faster because the water is in contact with the heating element.
If I have a solar oven out, I can heat the water in it and put it in a thermal jug or large Thermos Bottle to use for dishes. To heat water in a solar oven (or use for cooking in for that matter): Paint the outside of quart jars with heat-resistant paint designed for repainting barbeque grills. The black paint absorbs the heat and quickly heats the water.
We run our dishwasher when it is full (about once every 5-7 days), on the shortest cycle and no-heat drying.
We can also place saved water in 5-gallon camp showers and heat them outside in the sun. We have a special hanger installed in the master shower that will hold the weight of 5-gallons of water, and we can get two showers (including washing hair) out of 5-gallons.
For the first time in a number of years we aren't living with severe drought and restricted water use, and our 1,000-gallon rain barrel system has stayed full all spring to water the gardens and landscape.
Yes, I understand the principle, but will it interfere with other things like filling the washer or dishwasher and actually be any real savings? We already have low-flow shower heads and do an abbreviated shower method (step into the shower and wet body and washcloth; turn off water; wash with soapy wet washcloth; turn on water and rinse - 30-60 seconds of flowing water). We lived in a townhouse that had low water pressure and it took seemingly "forever" to fill the washer and the dishwasher, and 15-minutes to partially fill the bath tub. Not sure I want that again.....
The water I use for rinsing the dishes that go into the dishwasher is (A) saved water that most people let go down the drain, and (B) has already been used for doing dishes that DON'T go into the dishwasher. It's not like we are running copious amounts of water from the faucet to rinse them off. We scrape them with a plastic spatula first, but since our dishes sit in the dishwasher for up to a week waiting for a full load, a quick rinse in the USED dishwater after we've done the dishes doesn't cost anything and prevents odors and any dried on food residue.
Turning down the pressure regulator will do little more than increase the time it takes to fill the washer, dishwasher, bathtub, etc because as Tim says, it just decreases the flow, not the amount of water used. But it does mean you'll use less water washing your hands, rinsing dishes, showering, etc.
christopherh is right .... You get the same answer at a sink by not turning the water on full, but for your water-using appliances, no effect. If you're concerned, you could install low flow faucets (in my area it's required, no others are sold) that seem to be ok for sink use although tasks like filling pots for cooking do take longer.
Our area has draught-imposed use restrictions this summer, but even now the usage charge for 100 gallons of water costs is 25 cents. I think most people don't have the time or interest to pursue the Rube Goldberg-esque gyrations as described above, the resulting savings would be less than pennies. Most of my neighbors who require major reductions to stay within their quota curtail outdoor watering and perhaps may do washing at a laundromat.
My favorite way to reduce water usage is to drink beer and wine instead.
snidely - I am with you on the drinking of wine (I don't like beer) - after all, we have to do our part. Plus I am in training for Italy. Sure hope that Amex Ultimate out of country/province multi-trip health plan we have pays off if something happens! It costs us a fortune. Water costs are high in Toronto and about to go up again. Actually, I also drink bottled water (and so does our dog - he is a 10 1/3 year old white, double-coated shedder - with perfectly clear eyes). Learned about the bottled water trick when he was 7 months old (helps that he is a normal size for his breed of course). We have had a lot of rain today - torrential and then nothing - this seems to be the new norm. I just wish it would rain in a normal fashion - especially when I am out in it. Of course torrential rains will not stop the idiots from setting off the gun-shot sounding fire crackers at 3:00 a.m. - this has been going on for days. Your turn will come Friday - or sooner.
As with saving formerly hot but cooled after some time in the line water from heater, keep a bucket by the lavatory, dip most of post-wash soapy water out with plastic e.g. yogurt, margarine tub, use the bucket of water to flush the toilet.
If you're on septic system ... check with folks with experience before trying this soapy/detergenty water through the toilet project. But only if your water from sinks goes out into a different drainage system: if they go into the septic tank, it'd be the same game.
ole joyful
The first thing I do when I buy a new shower attachment is to pop that damned water saver plug OUT. The politicians and the celebs and the suits sure as hell aren't going without, and it's not like we'll get back the water we saved, if we do try to save.

That would encourage people not to share. Or, better...to make up a name for it ;-)
And then sell it on Ebay as "RARE: 'Aunt Petunia's Blustery Peach' African Violet"
I have that one. $50 a leaf. Anyone?
I also have a rare vintage, 'Blueberry Waffle Crisp'. Just like your grandma used to grow! Get it while it's available!
Pastel glitter from LLG is the closest I've been able to find so far, but it's not quite it...
Here is a link that might be useful: Pastel Glitter

By Heather R. Smith REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. — Army tactics and training are constantly changing to meet the threat on the battlefield, and one such example is the attack helicopter. Originally the AH-1 Cobras were designed to arrive on station quickly, eliminate the threat, and move on to the next target. But in today's battlefield, attack helicopters like the AH-64 Apaches are providing air support to ground convoys, and often hovering over convoys to eliminate any sign of threats. These combat operations result in increased exposure to enemy ground fire and increased need for ballistic protection systems, and the Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center's Prototype […]

Understanding cardiovascular diseases
You may be studying this unit because you – or a member of your family or a friend – have been personally affected by cardiovascular diseases in some way. You may be professionally involved in looking after people with one of these diseases. Perhaps you are interested in health issues in general. Whatever your motivation or underlying reasons for studying this unit, you will gain valuable insights into the extent of cardiovascular diseases and their treatment in the early twenty-first century. What you learn about avoiding or delaying cardiovascular diseases may also be incorporated into your own lifestyle for a healthier future for you and your family.
This unit provides an introductory overview of some of the diseases of the heart and circulation (the cardiovascular system) and their medical management. This should help you get used to medical terminology and provide an introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system.

Algae blooms create their own favorable conditions, new study finds
PUBLIC RELEASE: 8-JAN-2015 by DARTMOUTH COLLEGE
Fertilizers are known to promote the growth of toxic cyanobacterial blooms in freshwater and oceans worldwide, but a new multi-institution study shows the aquatic microbes themselves can drive nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in a combined one-two punch in lakes.
The findings suggest cyanobacteria — sometimes known as pond scum or blue-green algae — that get a toe-hold in low-to-moderate nutrient lakes can set up positive feedback loops that amplify the effects of pollutants and climate change and make conditions even more favorable for blooms, which threaten water resources and public health worldwide. The findings shed new light on what makes cyanobacteria so successful and may lead to new methods of prevention and control. Read more
'Any exposure' theory rejected in asbestos lung cancer case
An Illinois federal judge has barred a plaintiff alleging asbestos-induced lung cancer from relying on the any exposure theory at trial.
Judge John Z. Lee delivered the Dec. 22 opinion in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, rejecting the any exposure theory.
Defendants Crane Co., ExxonMobil Oil Corporation, Owens-Illinois, Inc., and Marley-Wylain Company requested the court to exclude the any exposure theory and to bar plaintiff Charles Krik from calling certain witnesses at trial who plan on relying on the any exposure theory in their testimonies.
Lee explained that the any exposure theory "posits that any exposure to asbestos fibers whatsoever constitutes an underlying cause of injury to the individual exposed."
Krik claims he developed lung cancer as a result of asbestos exposure and sought to present testimony from experts Dr. Arthur Frank, Dr. Arnold Brody and Frank Parker, who intended to testify that each and every asbestos exposure caused the claimant's lung cancer.
While the court denied the defendants' motion to bar certain witnesses, Lee granted their request to exclude the any exposure theory. He concluded that Krik failed to establish that the any exposure theory is sufficiently reliable to warrant admission.
The court applied the Daubert factors when determining the issue of asbestos injury causation.
Applying the Daubert factors, the defendants argued that the any exposure theory is speculative and is not scientifically reliable because it ignores a "fundamental principle of toxicology – that the 'dose makes the poison.'"
They added that the any exposure theory "allows a plaintiff to skirt this fundamental principle by wholly bypassing the dosage requirement."
Krik, on the other hand, claimed the methodology used in the any exposure theory was proper.
He argued that Illinois law does not require plaintiffs to quantify their individual exposure levels in order to establish causation.
Lee wrote that even though Krik and his experts have acknowledged that asbestos-induced lung cancer is a dose-responsive disease, the plaintiff still intended to have his experts testify that any exposure to asbestos, regardless of dosage, is sufficient to cause an asbestos related disease.
Lee also notes that Krik failed to offer any expert testimony explaining how much asbestos exposure he actually experienced and whether the dosage was even sufficient enough to cause his disease.
"Krik's argument that a single exposure or a de minimis exposure satisfies the substantial contributing factor test under Illinois law incorrectly states the controlling law: it is not that de minimis exposure is sufficient, but that more than de minimis exposure is required to prove causation," he wrote. "Krik's argument, therefore, is unavailing."
Instead, the claimant relied on the any exposure theory to prove causation for lung cancer, a disease with many causes ranging from asbestos exposure to cigarette smoke.
Furthermore, the any exposure theory is inadmissible because Krik's experts failed to base their opinions on facts specific to this case, the judge ruled. Read more
Vacaville company faces fine over lead paint in Bay Area homes
By Robert Digitale, The Press Democrat
Vacaville-based Blue Mountain Air is facing a $51,000 fine for failing to follow federal rules in the treatment and removal of lead-based paint during its renovation of four Bay Area homes, the U.S. Environmental Protection announced Wednesday.
The company, a subsidiary of Blue Mountain Inc., failed to obtain required EPA certification before the renovations, and also failed to keep required records and to ensure the project's workers were certified to safely remove lead-based paint, the agency said.
The four homes, all foreclosures, were renovated in 2011 and 2012 in Santa Rosa, Napa and El Sobrante. Read more
DIY home renovations and asbestos – a dangerous mix
Posted by http://www.thefifthestate.com.au/
On the eve of National Asbestos Awareness Day, the Asbestos Diseases Foundation of Australia had warned of a "third wave" of exposure to asbestos, as DIY home renovations spike in popularity.
Friday, 28 November, marked National Asbestos Awareness Day, where groups came together to pay tribute to the thousands of Australians who have died from asbestos-related diseases. However, the day also exists to remind the community of the present threat asbestos poses.
Currently, 600 mesothelioma cases are reported a year, and this is expected to rise to more than 900 cases a year by 2020, with the National Health and Medical Research Council estimating that more than 25,000 Australians will die from mesothelioma over the next 40 years.
"There is no safe level of exposure to asbestos fibres," Asbestos Diseases Foundation of Australia president Barry Robson said.
"In the past, the first wave of people affected by asbestos-related diseases were those exposed to fibres in the mining and manufacturing process and their families. Then came the second wave, which were people exposed to fibres from using products in the workplace.
The foundation is warning of a "third wave" of asbestos-related diseases that will include people renovating homes without the proper precautions. Read more
Asthmatics alerted over spores threat
By Sarah Cosgrove, http://www.hortweek.com/
A professional gardener whose lung filed with pus after inhaling a deadly fungus that lurks in bark and mulch has warned others that they should be careful.
People with asthma or a weak immune system are advised to wear masks when moving rotting leaf, plant and tree mulch because of the microscopic dust that this dislodges, which can contain Aspergillus fungal spores.
The National Aspergillosis Centre, University Hospital of South Manchester, sees about 350 new patients a year with conditions coming from inhaling the spores. Professor of infectious diseases in global health David Denning said numbers are growing, especially among people who take steroids – arthritis sufferers, for example – which suppress their immune systems.
"Most of us are either immune to the fungus or have a sufficiently healthy system to fight the infection," he added. "But in asthma sufferers it can produce coughing and wheeziness, and in people with weak or damaged immune systems the fungus can cause pulmonary aspergillosis – a condition that can cause irreparable and sometime fatal damage to the lungs and sinuses."
One previously "very fit" professional gardener who had asthma only as a child and went to the gym three times a week became very ill with pulmonary aspergillosis and said she was lucky to have survived. Read more
QuanTEM's Christmas Fundraiser – Bringing joy to OKC Foster Families
Each year around Christmas the staff at QuanTEM works to raise money for a local charitable organization. This year's recipient is the Angels Foster Family Network of OKC. Angels is a private foster child placing agency in Oklahoma County, rescuing children who have often been traumatized while living in emergency shelters or in a series of short term foster homes after being abused, neglected, or abandoned by their parents.
This year QuanTEM employees engaged in a multitude of activities, including; bake sales, card games, prize drawings and coin drops, in order to raise money. Some employees even went above and beyond by agreeing to dress-up in costume when benchmarks were reached. The money raised by employees will be matched by QuanTEM and donated to Angels as a Christmas gift.
Thank you to everyone who participated, especially these brave souls.
We raised $1305 this year. QuanTEM will match that total so the Angels Foster Family Network will be receiving a $2610 donation. Way to go team!
Landlord accused of forging lead paint documents
By Anthony Fay, http://wwlp.com
Springfield property manager Dwayne Johnson has been indicted for allegedly submitting false lead inspection reports so he could receive Section 8 housing payments.
Johnson, 46, was indicted Wednesday by a Hampden County Superior Court jury on two counts of uttering false or forged records. He is accused of submitting false reports in November of 2011 and October of 2013 to HAP Housing, which administers the Section 8 program in greater Springfield. According to Attorney General Martha Coakley's office, HAP and the Child Lead Poisoning Prevention Program reviewed the documents and determined them to be false, and the matter was referred to the AG's office.
Prosecutors say that Johnson committed the alleged forgery by altering a legitimate lead inspection report, which was issued for a different property. They say that the two properties that Johnson was renting were not compliant with the state's lead paint regulations, and that he rented one of the properties to a parent living with two young children.

An Artist Who Paints Portraits With Mold
By Margaret Rhodes, http://www.wired.com
Film is an exceedingly delicate material. It's highly flammable, can't always go through TSA checkpoints, and, as it turns out, can be easily destroyed by fungus.
A few years ago South Korean artist Seung-Hwan Oh read a BBC article about this fungus problem affecting film archives. He realized they were right: "I noticed that mold on badly stored film can eat away and destroy its contents," he says. "And then I realized that I may deliver the idea of impermanence of matter applying this natural disaster into my work."
It's a heady notion, but when Oh talks about 'impermanence' he's talking about the "idea that all the matter, including all the life forms, collapse in the spatial-temporal dimension we belong to." It's his inspiration in this series, and it's based on the second law of thermodynamics, which states that as usable energy in the universe gets used—to power life, and grow organisms—unusable energy increases and creates a state of growing randomness and chaos.
Put differently, Oh started letting mold grow on his film. Rather than worrying about fungus, he embraced it.
To do that Oh had to set up a micro-fungus farm in his studio. Film gets stashed away in a warm, wet environment where fungus can grow. Oh will sometimes take mold that grows naturally on bread and rice and paste it into the prints, but that's about as much control as he can exercise over the outcome. Read more
Baltimore boy, 17, awarded $2M in lead paint case
By Katie Lange, http://www.wbaltv.com/
A 17-year-old Baltimore boy who suffered permanent brain damage due to lead paint exposure where he lived when he was younger has been awarded $2 million in a civil case.
The victim, who wasn't named because he's a juvenile, was exposed to lead paint while living with his grandmother and mother at a home in the 1600 block of East 25th Street in northeast Baltimore from the time of his birth in 1997 until 2001, court testimony revealed.
The $2,088,550 verdict in the case against Elliott Dackman, of The Dackman Company, was rendered Friday, finding him negligent in failing to maintain the home in accordance with Maryland law. Officials said Dackman was the principal person behind the company that owned the building, as well as another company, Jacob Dackman & Sons LLC, which managed it.
"All the landlord had to do was paint the house, and they didn't," said the plaintiff's attorney, Bruce Powell, of the Law Offices of Peter T. Nicholl.
During the trial, experts testified that the boy suffered permanent brain damage that resulted in a loss of four to five IQ points, as well as several cognitive deficits, attention and focus problems, learning disabilities and behavioral problems.
"He's been struggling in school up to this point, serious problems. He's in high school. Last year, his GPA was below 1.0. (He's) taking bridge classes and doing Saturday mornings to try and stay on track to graduate. It looks very iffy at this point," Powell said.
Officials said in December 1997, the boy was tested and found to have a lead level of 12 micrograms per deciliter. That rose one point higher five months later, and eventually rose to 14 mcg/dl — more than double the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's reference level that's used to identify kids with lead paint exposure.

Suburban asbestos deaths blamed on 'factory of death'
By Ruth Lamperd, Herald Sun
MORE than a dozen deaths in a Melbourne suburb have been blamed on an asbestos factory where children once played in piles of the deadly dust.
But the catastrophic effects of the Wunderlich factory in Sunshine North have not been revealed to residents despite owner CSR paying compensation to victims.
A five-month Sunday Herald Sun investigation can today reveal the tragic toll of Melbourne's "factory of death", which shut in 1983.
At least 16 people who grew up within 1km of the plant — none of whom worked there — have died of asbestos-related diseases, the latest on Thursday. Another eight are known to be sick.
Residents said that on some days asbestos would swirl in clouds above the suburb and a white powder would cover windows and car dashboards in the factory's peak years from the 1950s until the 1970s.
Allan Brander grew up in a street north of the Wunderlich factory and spent many weekends riding his bike over hectares of waste.
His son, Damian, said his father died a painful death last year, five months after being diagnosed with mesothelioma. Read more

"The disease ate him alive. If I grew up there I'd be concerned about my health now," Mr Brander said.
