The stabilized filter cake produced at a commercial stabilization/solidification plant, which treats a wide variety of inorganic solid wastes and effluents, has been characterized, and subsequently solidified by adding increasing amounts of cement and fly ash. This stabilized waste interacts with the cementitious additives so that the normal products of hydration are no longer produced. A solidified material is, however, still formed, and ettringite is the main crytalline product. The degree of chemical containment has been determined by completing single extraction batch leach tests under increasingly aggressive conditions. Results indicate that hazardous heavy metals are well retained by the solidified wastes, while they are readily leached from the stabilized filter cake. The concentrations of metals released from the stabilized waste and the solidified materials exhibit the same behaviour as a function of leachate pH. This demonstrates that a major effect of the cementitious additives is to change the composition of the leaching fluid. The addition of solidified wastes containing increasing amounts of cementitious additives to an acidic leachant causes Ca2+ to leach at a concentration determined by the acidity of the leachant. Mixes containing low additions of cementitious additives cannot release sufficient Ca2+, the leachate remains acidic, and heavy metals present in the waste are able to leach.

The implantation of a microstent into the eyes of patients with open-angle glaucoma could remove their need to use eye drops to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP), show the 1-year results of a clinical trial.
The study was presented at the 116th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology in Chicago, Illinois, USA, and shows that 100% of participants' IOP levels had reduced to an acceptable value a year after receiving the stent.
"So far, mini-stents appear to have important advantages in that they allow us to treat open-angle glaucoma at earlier stages and with lower complication risk," said presenting co-author Thomas Samuelson (Minnesota Eye Consultants, Plymouth, USA) in a media statement given at the Annual Meeting.
Forty of the total 69 patients recruited from six centers who had the stent implanted also underwent cataract surgery, and none of the participants reported any significant complications.
Indeed, in available data for 29 of the cataract and microstent combined group, average eye-drop medication-free IOP reduced from 24.6 mmHg at baseline to 15.5 mmHg at 1 year.
The Academy release states that a number of mini-stents in addition to the Hydrus (Ivantis, Irvine, California, USA) are currently being developed or trialed for treatment of open-angle glaucoma. The disease is the most common form of glaucoma and affects almost three million people in the USA and 60 million worldwide.
The stents work by providing a new drainage channel for the eye's aqueous fluid, circumventing the patient's own clogged or blocked channels, explain the authors.
"If the devices can effectively control IOP over many years, it would be a real breakthrough in combating this blinding disease," commented Samuelson, who cited the case of a patient who has received the stent in both eyes following failed medications and drainage procedures, and who still has acceptable IOP measurements 2 years later.

Hernández-Quevedo, Cristina, Jones, Andrew M. and Rice, Nigel (2008) Persistence in health limitations: a European comparative analysis. Journal of Health Economics, 27 . pp. 1472-1488. ISSN 0167-6296
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This paper investigates the persistence in health limitations for individuals within the member states of the European Union. We use the full eight waves of data available in the European Community Household Panel (ECHP) to explore the relative contributions of state dependence, unobserved heterogeneity and socioeconomic characteristics, in particular income, education and activity status, and how these vary across countries. We focus on binary measures of health limitations, constructed from the answers to the question: "Are you hampered in your daily activities by any physical or mental health problem, illness or disability?". Dynamic non-linear panel data models are specified and estimated using both pooled and random effects probit and logit models together with complementary log–log models. The random effects probit specifications are preferred. Results reveal high state dependence of health limitations, which remains after controlling for measures of socioeconomic status. There is heterogeneity in the socioeconomic gradient across countries.

Maybe you've wondered about that brightly colored tape you've seen adorning the bodies of professional athletes like Serena Williams, Lance Armstrong and David Beckham. It isn't a new type of tattoo, it's Kinesio Tape, strategically placed on their bodies to help reduce pain and improve the healing of injuries. Developed by a chiropractor, Kinesio Tape is thin woven elastic color-coded tape that is used on joints and muscles where support and stability is needed.
Kinesio Tape isn't new, but its popularity has grown in recent years. "This is different than other types of athletic tape. It mimics the qualities of actual skin," according to Jennifer Bultman, a physical therapist with Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare. Rather than strapping down a muscle — like taping an ankle — the tape stretches to allow free movement and let's the body's own muscular system heal itself. "The Kinesio Tape encourages muscles to function as they would if they didn't need the tape. If your sore muscles are supported and allowed to heal, you should not be in as much pain," Bultman says.
Athletes are not the only ones benefitting from Kinesio Tape. "We use it on patients with arthritis, shoulder pain, swelling, chronic pain, and a lot of other conditions. We're seeing some good results," Bultman says. Cheryl Ward of Milwaukee is one of the success stories. "I had knee replacement surgery on June 14. When I started physical therapy, I was still having quite a bit of pain, and I was walking with a cane. After Jennifer put the tape on my knee, I was taking fewer pain pills and I didn't feel like I needed to use the cane any longer," Ward says.
Success depends on proper evaluation of the patient's condition and proper application of the Kinesio Tape. The tape is water resistant and an application usually lasts from three to five days before the elastic properties diminish and it must be reapplied. "You can do it yourself, but to get the correct results, you need to be trained by a professional," Bultman says.
Ward is happy with the benefits she has seen. "I was surprised that something like this tape could make any difference, but I'm just amazed at how well it works," she says.

Speaking of Richard Simmons, my friends at Barneys tell me that he swept in recently and bought hundreds of dollars' worth of perfume for customers he'd never met, simply because they were standing there wanting it. I've been standing there wanting it ever since! Meanwhile, Catherine Deneuvewho already has perfume, thank yousashayed up to the same counter and revealed that the day before that big crash, she was on the very same Concorde flight from Paris to New York. I have no dumb joke to fill in here, just a poignant fist-under-chin look and a big French "Hmmm."
In other near-miss news, I was desperately hoping to get my hot hands on Helen Hunt after she broke up with Hank Azaria, but now I'm reading in the columns that she's having a "torrid affair" with Kevin Spacey. Damnbut wait a minute, does that mean Diane is now available? Woo-ha!
My plan is to date her, then come out, à la Liz Smith, in my seventies, revealing that I had a gay affair in 1946. That'll sell books! As for all the lesbian couples coming apart latelyAnne and Ellen, Melissa and Juliethis might be interpreted as a sign that certain women can't "turn" lesbian by sheer will. But I choose to more simply make it mean that same-sex couples can eventually come apart just like straight ones.
We turned to multigender kink at Click + Dragthe defunct Mother's weekly cyberfetish event, which is now a monthly at Fun, where the Manhattan Bridge looms outside as if matted in by a deranged art director. The club is ultra sleek, with banquettes and rows of video monitors that the Click + Drag people use to carpet the place with trippy images. As old Bowie musicwhich is still futuristicplays in new forms, androgynous go-go dancers aim ray guns at each other, patrons compare vinyl bodysuits, and a leather queen gets flogged while handcuffed to the house contraption. It's all very Star Wars meets Fahrenheit 451 via Leona Helmsley.
I unharnessed myself for a very civilized lunch at Café Luxembourg for Survivor's executive producer, Mark Burnett, who's been hawking his book about the showthe ultimate s/m partyto the press tribe. Burnett told me he wrote the thing diary-style, which is why the opening sentence is so woefully misguided: "Richard Hatch was destined to be the first castaway voted off." But there's nothing else shocking in itno gender surprises or floggings for a mass audience. Burnett said he did jot down some jaw-dropping revelations, but he promptly took them out because "I made a commitment not to be like Jerry Springer." Among the cut shockeroos was a detailing of who else on the island was gay (besides Hatch), but when I pressed Burnett to name names, he said, "That would be a shitty thing to do." Oh, but making them eat rats is OK?
Burnett's become a name himself, but he's still anonymous enough that the woman next to him at the Emmys innocently murmured, "Don't you just hate this fucking reality stuff?" Nah, most people love itit's a game show and a reality showso now he's preparing an even more ambitious program called Destination MIR, which will send someone to outer space (hopefully Richard Hatch). I generously told Burnett that the astronaut's old drink, Tang, is way harder to gulp down than any rodent, though I once learned on Oprah that it doubles as a toilet cleanser. By the wayhold on to your Tangdo you want to know what island scares Burnett the most? "New York's too tough for me," he admitted. "People are very harsh." Especially when they handcuff you to the house contraption.
I came down on a spaceship singing "Memory" at the Cats auctionan unburdening of the closed show's shedding costumes to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDSin hopes of at least nabbing one of Betty Buckley's old furballs in lieu of getting to paw at Helen Hunt. It was such a deeply sentimental event that I agreed with the young woman who told her friend, "I can't believe you're not more excited by this." My favorite moment came at the peak of the furry frenzy when an announcer said, "If you want to buy a Cats wig, 'now and forever' is coming really quickly because there are only five left!"
The next thing I saw was Jocelyne Wildenstein at the fabulous Africa Designs fashion show at Bryant Park, and clearly she had scooped up every Cats costume, prop, makeup, accessory, and facial feature imaginable. Hadn't she? Hadn't she?
You're encouraged to get catty for Bitchy Bingo at Lips, the brightly chandeliered West Village drag palace where sorority girls and straight guys in birthday tiaras gather on Wednesdays to play the only game scarier than Survivor. It's not the bingo itself that's so terrifying, it's the claws-out approach, not to mention the prizes (tickets to The Donkey Show!), but it's well worth a trip out of the litter box. Last week, after a bevy of wild drag performances by the talented waitresses and shimmying Egyptian dervish Sultana, our MCs Yvon Lamé and Sharon Needles took the mikes to escort us through this raunchily contempo version of our parents' favorite pastime. Between announcing the letters, the two hosts stopped to spread much vivacious venom, with targets ranging from the audience ("You sorority sluts must have something to bitch aboutsyphilis, anything?") to celebrities ("Dr. Laura sucksshe's in the bathroom sucking right now"). But the gals kid themselves more than anyone, with Needles admitting she once did a split and her own father's class ring popped out. Bingo!
"May the best man win" is the recurring theme of Gore Vidal's The Best Manif we can take our tiaras off and head to more legit stageswhich is set in a sweeter time when you had to usher girls into the White House rather than use the available staff. There are no drag queens in the show, but thank God for Elizabeth Ashley, who knows how to work both a stage and an opening night party ("I kiss your ring on TV! I worship you!" she gushed to someone I didn't even recognize at Tavern on the Green). This is in sharp contrast to a mujer named Cicely Tyson, who threw me withering looks at the 4 Guys Named José . . . partybut to her credit, they were fierce withering looks.
Oh, by the way, I've been watching Oprah again, in between rinsing out my toilet with Tang, and I loved seeing George W. Bush tout his wife's literacy cause. He certainly shouldremember that subliminable fiasco?
Finally, one woman's sublimely on topMadonnabut I'm sorry to report that her plus-size drag impersonator, Queerdonna (Greg Tanian), recently died after complications from a gastric bypass. The lots-of-material girl was such a campy and unique diva that it'll be hard for us to summon the power of goodbye.

"We are also confident that when consumers purchase these high quality products for their homes, it can only serve to deepen the loyal relationships that HGTV already enjoys with its viewers."

Well personal opinion, I did my research on Sivir, and I must say the spikes are a pretty accurate representation for your first try on making Armor, It has the metallic shine, the shoulder pads are also quite accurate, if I didn't know better I would have guessed this to be your third maybe fifth time making armor, maybe one day I will come to you for a commission on some armor myself, so I'm impressed, I will be able to give a more accurate Critique on this Armor Prop if you take more pictures of it in the future perhaps? Keep up the good work Alchemist.

What a waste of money - we walk by this place all the time and thought we would give it a try. The salad was pretty good, The whitebait was OK but very salty and greasy. The bone marrow on the other hand was just revolting. Not fresh and not properly cooked. For a main course we made the mistake of going with the swifty's twin burgers at $24 we naively assumed that it would be a high end take on your average burger and we would be getting some really yummy burgers. What we did get was two blobs of ground meat and some greasy fries. When we voiced our disappointment to the staff, that there was no bun no sauce no real flavor or creativity. They argued with us that a burger means two blobs of overcooked ground meat - and offered us some baguettes to go with it. I have no idea if the other items on the menu are any good - but the attitude of staff and unwillingness to make us the customers happy guarantees that I am A: never going back B: making sure to tell all my friends not to go there.

I visited this restaurant a few days ago. I ordered a salad (which was good), a mimosa drink, jumbo crab cakes and an ice cream dessert. The only item that i enjoyed was the salad. The mimosa tasted bad, the "jumbo" crab cakes were three tiny pieces of crab that was tasteless, the dessert was also bland even though it was ice cream. I spent so much money eating lunch at this restaurant, but i still left hungry. Although the service is pretty good, it cannot make up for the bland food, cramped eating area and over priced menu for such small portions. I sure will not recommend or go back to this place. What's the point if the food is not filling and tastes bad.

We recently moved from Chelsea to the Upper East Side and have been looking for a new place to replace Le Singe Vert. To me, Swifty's is to the Upper East Side as Le Singe Vert is to Chelsea. It has the unique feel of the neighborhood. The food is nicely prepared and served, and the bartender can make a fantastic Bombay Sapphire Martini. The mini burgers are served without buns, similar to the ones at The Algonquin Hotel and come with excellent fries, and the steak was perfectly medium rare and comes with a suitable bearnaise sauce.

This is the type of place where you see ladies lunching in Chanel and gentlemen in navy blazers with gold buttons--lots of society doyennes and very WASPy, but the crowd is very interesting to watch. I sat at the table across from designer Betsey Johnson once and I recognize a lot of faces from Town & Country magazine. For lunch, I like to order a Bloody Bull with the roasted marrow bones appetizer, which is served with a small frisee salad with pickled onions and a few toast points on the side. For dinner, I am happy with a dirty vodka martini and the sauteed calf's liver with crispy bacon and creamed spinach. The hubby likes the meatloaf, which is very good. Would like to try the tuna carpaccio and the cheese souffle next time!

Dear followers of Hinduism and Devotees of Lord Shiva,
Just 4 years ago Lord Shiva Hindu Temples was established for providing a spiritual platform to the devotees and in this short span of time due to overwhelming response from people of all over Netherlands and neighboring countries, we realized that current temple premises is very small to accommodate all the devotees and hence we have laid our best efforts to buy land from government to build a TYPICAL INDIAN STYLE TEMPLE in Amsterdam, NL withina 4000 square meter with 500 free car parking space. We have already made some progress in this regard and would urge all the devotees and followers to become a part of this movement by joining active membership (SHARE HOLDERS) of the New 'Lord Shiva Hindu Temple'.

January 4, 2012
During the next major snowfall of the season, Sedalia residents will have another concern to think about Ś where theyÆre parked.
For the first time, Sedalia Public Works employees are reminding residents who use street parking on arterial routes about the consequences of staying parked during a snowfall. Specifically, the cars could be towed.
ōEvery snow route has signs posted that state if thereÆs two inches of snow on the ground or the forecast is predicting two or more inches, those streets cannot have cars parked on them,ö said Public Works Director Bill Beck. ōItÆs a safety issue. If there are cars still parked, the snow plows have to go around them, causing the cars to be buried in snow and creating a traffic hazard.ö
To warn residents of the consequences, Public Works Department employees will leave fliers on the windshields of all cars parked in residential area snow routes. The flier states, ōWhile the emergency snow routes are in effect, parking on this street will be prohibited.ö
ōIn the past, we havenÆt really been able to enforce the ordinance,ö Beck said. ōWhen thereÆs a major snowstorm, our police force is usually very busy with accidents. We donÆt want them to spend that time knocking on doors telling residents to move their cars. With the fliers, we can let residents know ahead of time what the consequences are.ö
According to Sedalia Police Chief John DeGonia, the police department hasnÆt towed many cars in the past.
ōHonestly, we donÆt want to tow any cars,ö DeGonia said. ōWeÆd rather talk to residents and remind them or ask them to move their cars and only tow as a last resort. But now that the fliers are going out, residents will have fewer excuses about forgetting or not moving their cars. (Beck) and I have had conversations about towing cars but I hope we wonÆt have to do that.ö
In addition to handing out fliers today, Public Works employees will distribute the fliers again a day or two before a major snowfall is predicted. Beck said he hopes by handing out the fliers twice, residents will remember to move cars.
ōI feel for them, I do,ö Beck said. ōI know that for some people, street parking is all thatÆs available. ItÆs inconvenient for them to move their car around the corner or to another street. But this is a city ordinance and more than anything, itÆs a safety issue.ö
Beck said if cars are left on streets, snow plows are forced to go around them, creating one-lane roads and unnecessary traffic hazards.
ōOur biggest concern is obviously emergency service vehicles being able to get around, especially for the routes leading to the hospital,ö he said. ōIÆm sure IÆll get a few phone calls from irritated residents, but itÆs the law. And IÆm sure people would rather get a flier on their windshield than walk out of the house one day and find that their car has been towed.ö

The Lies of Locke Lamora | |||||
Scott Lynch | |||||
Bantam Spectra, 512 pages | |||||
A review by Donna McMahon
But the very complexity of Locke's intrigues leave him vulnerable to disaster. The secret police of Camorr, the Midnighters, are on
his trail. And he is being drawn unwillingly into a bloody feud between the local crime boss and a ruthless newcomer -- the
Gray King -- who has a terrifying secret agenda.
The Lies of Locke Lamora is a remarkably competent debut novel, set in a gritty and decadent Fantasy cityscape reminiscent
of Renaissance Italy. Scott Lynch's fine abilities as a storyteller imbue this book with a strong sense of realism despite the fact that
the action is as far over the top as a Batman movie. The characters are compelling, the plotting is tight, and the writing is
vivid. And Locke as a young criminal prodigy makes a fascinating protagonist, reminiscent of Bean in Ender's Shadow.
I did find the narrative structure disruptive. Particularly in the first half of the book, Lynch jumps around in time every few
pages, moving back and forth from the current action to episodes in Locke's childhood and apprenticeship as a thief. Every time
I settled down to enjoying one story thread, I was jerked into another, and the choppy flashbacks reduced the story tension for
me rather than increasing it.
I also found that the explicit carnage exceeded my personal tastes -- getting so bloody that it eventually seemed silly.
Still, the colourful city of Camorr, teeming with predatory characters, was a fascinating place to visit. I'm looking forward
to the sequel, Red Seas Under Red Skies, due out from Bantam in June 2007.
Donna McMahon discovered science fiction in high school and fandom in 1977, and never recovered. Dance of Knives, her first novel, was published by Tor in May, 2001, and her book reviews won an Aurora Award the same month. She likes to review books first as a reader (Was this a Good Read? Did I get my money's worth?) and second as a writer (What makes this book succeed/fail as a genre novel?). You can visit her website at http://www.donna-mcmahon.com/. |

9:30pm @ The Hideout Theatre - Upstairs
TicketsCast:Dave Jennings, Tyler Samples |
Final FoxtrotChicagoFinal Foxtrot is performed by Dave Jennings and Tyler Samples, and it is described as a "two man/one man improvised theater piece" where the actors take over each other's characters and further the depth and development by reflecting the relationship from the opposing players point of view. This leads to a complete string of scenes that seem to bleed in and out of the characters minds. The scenes are revisited and characters interact with relationships from their lives and sometimes with themselves. |
Cast:Katie Hartman, Leah Rudick |
Skinny Bitch Jesus Meeting(Sketch) New York CityFrom the womb of a beautiful fish-beast these two ladies were spawned. They suckled upon the cement bosom of New York City, learning to laugh while eating broken glass. A sketch comedy show that turns daisies into daggers and filth into fancy. |
Cast:Jordan T. Maxwell, Jeffrey T. Amos |
710 SplitLos Angeles, CA and Austin, TX710 Split mines inspiration for strong storytelling from the space between the performer's intention and the resulting character. Inspired by initial audience suggestion, one performer begins a monologue. The players will then switch identities: the first becoming an observer as the second slips into the original character to complete the monologue. From this initial piece threads of character, relationship, and theme are drawn into the twin headspace of the performers to weave a single narrative, resulting in a tale that explores established notions and discovering new routes and adventures. |

Two days later, when word got back to Dr. Laura that her visit to Dallas wasn't exactly a PR triumph and that her "people," as she put it, were offended by her behavior, she denounced them as malicious gossips and cried on the air (which, if you've ever experienced Dr. Laura's show, is pretty scary even to think about).
By Wednesday, Dr. Laura's sycophantic fans in trailer parks across the nation, of course, were enraged that a handful of Dallas women would have the audacity to kvetch about their special radio friend's perfect vacuum of manners, grace, and common courtesy.
You can guess the rest: The Jewish Federation received hundreds of angry calls, and, according to a staffer there, the majority were anti-Semitic.
Maybe next year, lesson learned, the Federation will invite a speaker who's more convivial, classy, and gracious. Buzz recommends Texas' own Kinky Friedman. We also recommend that Dr. Laura's fans profit from a close read of the lyrics of Kinky's biggest hit: They Don't Make Jews Like Jesus Anymore.
Don't laugh--Kinky gave a speech to a similar Jewish group in Washington last week.
Not News-worthy
Eric Celeste, formerly editor of the Dallas Morning News' puppet weekly The Met, has been making some steep installment payments on his Faustian bargain with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Celeste, who, while at The Met, was noted for his irreverent, often incomprehensible squibs, left the bohemian life behind for financial security at the stolid S-T. The way we got it, in return for regular meals and rent payments, he was to inject a youthful, "alternative" feel to that daily's lifestyle pages--and lure in a few readers still devil-may-care about their calcium intake and prostates.
Over the year that Celeste has been at the S-T, he changed his job from arts & entertainment editor to staff writer. But Eric dreamed that someday he would write a weekly media column.
Normally, anyone who's been in the newspaper business for, oh, 20 minutes knows that media columns by on-staff writers in daily papers range from highly questionable to downright corrupt. It's simple: How can you write credibly about your own paper--which you can't ignore because, as is the case of the S-T, it's not only the biggest media entity in town, but one of the largest employers? To attempt it at all violates the most basic ethical sniff test: They give you paychecks.
"I never really expected to cover my own paper--after all, they have an ombudsman," Celeste told Buzz. But Eric's naivete ran deeper. Though Celeste wouldn't go on the record about a rumored clash with his bosses over his proposed media column, sources say that his column was killed because he, sweet mother of God!, wanted to write about The Dallas Morning News, which, of course, is the 900-pound gorilla of media in this part of the United States and damn well needs to be watched. His editors at the paper spiked a sample column about Pete Slover's controversial scoop on the alleged McVeigh confession, Buzz sources say.
Because the paper already has a TV columnist, and Eric couldn't credibly cover The Met, D, or American Way, for whom he has worked or still occasionally works, the only news media remaining for Eric to cover in his column would be, er, us. Although we at the Dallas Observer would find a weekly column devoted to us fascinating, we're not sure everyone in Fort Worth would.
It was about then that hysterical rumors arrived in Dallas on the Wells Fargo wagon from Cowtown that Celeste's media column had been killed in utero, and the brash young journalist had furiously resigned.
Celeste, whom we reached at his snug S-T desk, explained that the rumors were exaggerated--he had taken a half day off to cool down after learning that his column's future was clouded. He denies that his media column was "killed," explaining that he and his immediate editor decided, after disappointing meetings with higher editors, that it would be best to hold off a while--maybe until the paper was sold to new and--they're praying--more progressive ownership. (A few media giants, including Knight-Ridder, are salivating over the prospect of gobbling up the Disney-owned S-T).
Until that new dawn, Eric says he is going to pursue the primary part of his job, feature writing, which may include occasional media stories.
To be fair to your bosses, Eric, there are some edgy column concepts you could develop. Lord knows the S-T has a real need for a push-the-envelope philately column to compete head-to-head with the DMN's "Stamping Ground."
D's hard-off for news
Buzz was confused by a story in the Dallas Business Journal that examined the decline of D Magazine's circulation. The villain was newsstand sales, which, according to the article, dropped 20 percent over the last year, bringing the overall circulation down 6 percent to about 40,000 benighted souls.
