Special Report - Environmental Renaissance: PNNL researchers master the art of predictive sciences that use environmental stories of the past to paint a balanced future
Dr. Rod K. Quinn is the director of the Environmental Technology Directorate (ETD) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Under his leadership, the directorate applies scientific expertise to solve current and future environmental challenges in our own backyard and around the world. ETD contributes to the cost-effective cleanup of contaminated nuclear weapons sites, protecting human health and the environment from the effects of contaminants, improving knowledge on the impacts of climate change, and deploying air- and water-neutral technologies for energy generation.
Rod addresses how PNNL is revolutionizing the state of the art with predictive science—solving existing environmental problems and creating a safer and cleaner environment for the future.
What are your thoughts on global environmental challenges?
There is an overwhelming global realization that we—as individuals, corporations and government—must do things right the first time in terms of environmental citizenship. If we don't, the consequences are evident in devastating events, from industrial accidents such as Chernobyl or the Valdez oil spill to natural disasters such as hurricanes and tsunamis amplified by human activities.
In many cases, we've acted and then cleaned up the consequences. With demands constantly taxing the environment—and increasing—this is no longer a viable option. We have complex environmental concerns to address now, and new ones are rapidly and consistently emerging. As our nation seeks to ease national dependence on foreign oil, the environmental impacts of alternative energy solutions must be a top priority.
Where do the nation's greatest environmental challenges lie?
Our greatest challenge is time and information. As a country, we need sound scientific research to explain and even anticipate the environmental cost and consequences of human behavior. We are discovering things that generations ago we didn't think would affect our environment the way they are. For example, researchers at PNNL's Marine Sciences Laboratory on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state found that human contraceptives could impact the fertility of trout; the synthetic estrogen in birth control pills eventually enters the municipal wastewater system. We've come to find out that trout populations are affected; beyond that, this discovery has forced us to consider greater human health impacts of everyday life. How are compounds that enter the soil, groundwater and air affecting us long-term in the water we drink, the food we eat and the air we breathe? Answering these questions will help decision makers balance the needs of our ecosystem and human health along with economic realities.
As we gain these insights, there is understandably a sense of urgency about finding solutions faster. Recognizing the rich resources the Pacific Northwest holds and their ties to the economic health of our region, Washington Governor Gregoire and Oregon Governor Kulongoski have made finding this balance a legislative priority. This is another great example of how working together, we can achieve more. We can meet the challenges with solutions and head off future impacts.
How will today's research affect the environment 10 years from now?
Everything humans do impacts the environment—from what we dispose of in landfills to the chemicals used in our daily activities that are released into our ecosystem—mainly soil, water and air. Add in impacts from industrial and government operations, and the outlook for the environment is hazy.
Driving toward a predictive science model, we can make this picture clearer. This model is based on mechanisms to pinpoint negative effects presymptomatically, rather than relying on overt symptoms. In the medical field, health practitioners use high blood pressure as a potential indicator of heart disease. However, often by the time high blood pressure is detected, the body already shows signs of damage. We're looking at these things differently to avoid that. Researchers at PNNL are striving for new ways to predict the effects of our actions so we can minimize or eliminate the stresses to the environment. Predictive science can teach us how to create new technologies and modify our behaviors today so we are not negatively impacted in the future.
One area we are just beginning to understand is how nanoparticles might affect the human respiratory system. Nanotechnologies offer promising solutions ranging from cancer treatments to sustainable energy and clean water. But a potential downside may be the release of tiny particles into the environment. Our three-dimensional virtual respiratory tract model demonstrates how pollutants enter, travel and collect in the body. By studying this, we are beginning to understand human health effects of nanotechnologies.
What other kinds of environmental research are under way to reverse future impacts?
Water management is another key environmental priority for the United States. This precious resource is a central element to consider as we search for new energy solutions, particularly water-intensive options like coal recovery. The Laboratory is partnering with the states of Washington, Oregon and Idaho to understand and predict how the Pacific Northwest water system will be impacted by climate change and new energy resource development.
Also of significant regional importance to the Pacific Northwest is the cleanup and prevention of pollution in the Puget Sound. This critical body of water, which hosts large shipping ports and the major urban areas surrounding Seattle, is being threatened by historic practices; continued population growth is another challenge. PNNL's expertise in restoring and managing water resources, from the mountain snowpack to the salt water, is resolving some of these issues and preventing unfavorable impacts.
How is PNNL meeting these challenges?
Because global environmental problems are incredibly complex, we must bring together the best scientists and engineers in the field. PNNL is proud of its outstanding reputation and vast experience in an array of scientific disciplines, including environmental sciences. The Laboratory's network of partnerships involves stakeholders at the federal, state and local levels. We are working together to identify and determine the best path forward on environmental issues.
I think with our history, we are particularly well-poised to make a difference. For more than 40 years, the Laboratory has undertaken complex issues at the Hanford Site, a former plutonium production area in southeastern Washington. Our geologists, hydrologists, chemists, physicists, and computer scientists have characterized unique waste streams, designed treatment methods and storage forms, and helped remediate the soil and groundwater.
Over the years, we have applied that knowledge and expertise to other projects. For example, our work in separating problematic elements out of radioactive waste led to an understanding of how to remove radionuclides that could enter the body from a dirty bomb explosion. Currently, we're investigating chitosan, obtained from lobster, crab and shrimp shells, as an agent to bind radionuclides in the body to stop them from damaging the liver, kidneys and other organs.
Additionally, our decades of experience in subsurface science may serve to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide—implicated in global climate change—emitted by coal-fired power plants. That expertise has positioned us to discover ways to capture carbon dioxide deep underground. By developing methods for making carbon sequestration safe and affordable, PNNL will contribute to stabilizing atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide. This is but one part of how the Laboratory is contributing to the development of environmentally-friendly and economically viable energy solutions.
What does PNNL envision for the future?
We are focused on driving toward scientific solutions that will help address environmental challenges before they turn into a devastating event. At PNNL, we are well-positioned and committed to blazing a new path forward—one that cleans up waste, prevents future environmental insults and uses natural resources responsibly. I believe that if we stay focused on this mission, PNNL will greatly contribute to ensuring a better quality of life for future generations.

Arctic pack ice extended so far south that Eskimos landed their kayaks on the north coast of Scotland. Further south, hungry Highlanders raided the Scottish lowlands. King James VI set up colonies of Presbyterian refugees from famine in Catholic northern Ireland. Wolves raided the villages of England for what was probably the last time, while Londoners frolicked at Frost Fairs on the frozen River Thames.
This was the little ice age, which began in the 13th century and peaked in the 17th before finally releasing its grip some 200 years ago. At its height, there was widespread famine across northern Europe. Some suggest that half the populations of Norway and Sweden perished. Meanwhile, icy fingers stretched across the globe: snow blanketed parts of Ethiopia, crops failed in China and ice appeared on Lake Superior.
For some, the little ice age is just a historical curiositya random blip in a balmy ...

On July 21, the US - one of Rwanda's staunchest allies, announced the suspension of $200,000 in military aid to Rwanda. Although the amount of cash withheld is small, analysts said the move was intended to send a clear signal to Kigali.
A day later, the UK joined the fray and announced the suspension of $25m of the projected $118m annual aid package to Rwanda. On July 24, the Netherlands also announced the suspension of five million Euros in aid, with Germany quickly following suit with the suspension of 21 million Euros worth of assistance until 2015.
The actions of the donors followed an interim report by the UN Group of Experts on DR Congo, which accused Rwanda of backing M23 rebels in the eastern part of the vast country.
The Rwanda government, led by Foreign Minister Louise Mushikiwabo, has protested the move, saying any decision to suspend aid based on the UN report was "taken on evidence that does not exist." She suggested that the action of the donors was disrespectful to Rwanda.
"This child-to-parent relationship has to end ... there has to be a minimum respect," Mushikiwabo was quoted as telling a Kenyan business club in Nairobi.
"As long as countries wave cheque books over our heads, we can never be equal."
In an earlier written statement, she said the government had concluded discussions with the UN Group of Experts and "comprehensively rebutted every one of the allegations with conclusive documentary evidence."
"Once we share this with the development partners, we believe this will provide them the reassurance they seek in light of an orchestrated media and political campaign to blame Rwanda for this crisis," she added.
Reacting to the allegations in the UN report, President Paul Kagame encapsulated the frustration of a nation, which he said had become "a scapegoat" for all the DR Congo's ailments. While speaking at the inauguration of the staff college at Nyakinama on July 23, Kagame said his crime was refusing to be used by some "arrogant" foreign powers to apprehend some fighters in DRC and hand them over to the International Criminal Court.
He suggested that he gave them some advice, but they didn't listen and instead started blaming him for supporting the rebels when the situation started going out of control.
"We have not had a reason to have this conflict going, on the contrary we have been trying to prevent it and we advised both the Congolese Government and the International Community that never listens. We advised them," he said.
"They never listen even when they see facts, even when they see things happening because they have the power to blame the mess on someone else. They have the power to screw up and then blame it on someone else. This is what goes on every year, every decade."
UN maneuvers?
At the end of June, the UN Security Council through a unanimously adopted resolution, renewed the peace keeping mandate of the UN Organization Stabilization Mission in DR Congo (MONUSCO) until June 30, 2013. But analysts said the UN body secured that mandate through a maneuver that has injured the reputation of Rwanda, a country that is still struggling to overcome its own problems through national reconciliation and regional cooperation.
The UN justified the renewal of the MONUSCO mandate, saying the eastern provinces of North and South Kivu had witnessed increased fighting between Government troops and renegade fighters who mutinied in April and are now operating as an armed group under the name M23 and led by Bosco Ntaganda.
Just days before the renewal of the mandate, MONUC and its Group of Experts on DR Congo, had leaked an addendum to a new report to the international media; alleging that the Rwandan government had played a pivotal role in the creation of the M23, and then supplied it with weapons, ammunitions, and young Rwandan recruits.
MONUSCO could not explain how the leakage came about or what action picked on any official for sanctions. But given that independent international bodies had questioned the credibility of MONUSCO thus putting the renewal of its mandate at stake, questions are starting to emerge on the timing of the leaked report and the connection between accusations against Rwanda and the renewal of the MONUSCO mandate. MONUSCO has been variously described as a "failed mandate," though it costs the UN a whopping $1.2 billion per year.
"What are the possible motivations for MONUSCO to participate in an orchestrated pattern of leaking material detrimental to Rwanda to the international press?" asked Georgianne Nienaber, an investigative political analyst based in the US. She suggested that with the mandate of MONUSCO up for renewal every year at every end of June, the UN outfit was always keen to show the Security Council that it was still relevant - 13 years after it was first deployed as a peace keeping force.
"Blaming Rwanda takes the onus off MONUSCO and the Congolese army," she noted. "Many observers concur that MONUSCO has failed in its mandate and perhaps the orchestrated leaks worked, because by a unanimous vote, the MONUSCO mandate has been renewed until June 2013. Blaming Rwanda was a good political strategy."
Kigali has vehemently protested the "unethical" conduct of the UN Group of Experts.
Following the leakage of the damaging addendum, international news organizations have continued to throw more allegations and speculation, which have increasingly put the tiny country on the defensive. Rwanda was adamant that the leaked report was "a one-sided preliminary document based on partial findings and which is still subject to verification."
Mushikiwabo said the UN Group of Experts had accepted the invitation to Kigali to do what should have been done before - to get Kigali's side of the story. "We intend to provide factual evidence that the charges against Rwanda are false. These, as well as Rwanda's own allegations, will hopefully be reflected in the final UN report due in November," she said.
MONUSCO's credibility was questioned by the International Crisis Group (ICG) in a June 11 open letter to the Security Council, which urged the Council to "review the strategy in the DRC."
Rwanda's response to addendum by UN Group of Experts - 10 Key disproved factual elements
1. Claims of training at Kanombe absurd
It is common (and verifiable) knowledge that Kanombe is a garrison-type barracks that comprises living quarters; a referral military hospital also open to civilian patients; a cemetery; and five service support units' headquarters and related facilities. It wouldn't require any form of expertise to find out that this barracks cannot host the training of recruits or any other force preparation activity. A simple tour of Kanombe barracks would have led the GoE to easily discard this allegation wherever they got it from.
2. Claims about ammunition proving RDF involvement are just false
The GoE seriously suggests that it was able to establish, in about a week's time, that Col. Makenga's could not obtain 75mm canons and their ammunition from FARDC and concludes that these were instead provided by RDF.
b. As a matter of fact, RDF does not hold 75mm canons in ordinance stores and has never purchased such canons or their ammunition.
3. Key so-called facilitator of M23 movements was not in Gisenyi -- there is proof he was on leave during the time named by the GoE.
Brig Gen. Ruvusha denies all allegations. He states that he was on leave and out of Gisenyi from 3 - 14 May 12 and provides an incontrovertible evidence of his whereabouts during the period.
4. The so-called boat crossing was technically impossible
The alleged facilitation of M23 troops and equipment from Bukavu to Gisenyi is not only untrue but technically impossible (i) use RDF motorised zodiac boats to carry 60 personnel and tones of equipment back and forth at night without detection by FARDC border patrols; (ii) it is equally impossible to drive RDF 15 tonner trucks along the route reported by the GoEs. The alleged route is under major construction and there is no way it could support night movement involving heavy trucks.
5. Congolese businessmen alleged to have visited Rwanda to discuss M23 financing were not in Rwanda during the dates claimed:
Regarding allegations of mobilization meetings with Congolese businessmen, further verification with the Rwanda migration department indicates that the two businessmen mentioned in the addendum did not travel to Rwanda during the period mentioned in the addendum. Only Dieudonne Komayombi travelled through Rwanda to Nairobi between 24 and 28 of June 2012.
6. Claims about Jacques Nziza are incontrovertibly disproved
General Jacques Nziza, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Defence is alleged to be supervising all military, financial and logistic support as well as mobilization activities related to M23. It is stated that he has recently been deployed to Ruhengeri and Gisenyi to coordinate assistance and recruitment. Gen. Nziza dismisses these allegations as demonstrably false and nonsensical. As the Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Defence, he is in charge of daily accounting. Deploying him away from his office to support M23 would amount to grounding most of the Ministry's core activities. General Nziza provides incontrovertible evidence that he has not been in Ruhengeri or Gisenyi of recent. As part of his statement, Gen. Nziza provides detailed documentary evidence covering his daily activities. The GoE is invited to review the annex and hopefully realise how important it would have been to carry out their own verifications rather than rely on undependable sources.
7. The response contains detailed information to rebut claims about the role of James Kabarebe and Charles Kayonga.
As mentioned in the summary of his statement, Gen. Kararebe and Gen. Charles Kayonga have played an active role in promoting peace in the region. That either individual was in contact with senior officials of the FARDC and or M23 will come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the dynamics at play in the eastern DRC. A detailed account of their involvement in repeated attempts to avert the crisis is provided at Annex D and E respectively.
8. Jomba Gakumba was not redeployed to Ruhengeri as claimed
Lt Col Jomba Gakumba states that he was never deployed to Ruhengeri and remains an instructor at Gako Military in Bugesera. He provides incontrovertible evidence to support his statement, these include daily and weekly training activities in which he was involved, as well as details of all visits by foreign delegations he handled while at Gako.
9. Claims of radio intercepts "most unsophisticated pieces of fabrication in the entire report"
The GoE refers to the signal interception by FARDC of radio communications between RDF and M23. The so-called signal interception indicated the reception of RDF troop reinforcements by M23, and request for additional reinforcements. The evidence provided is one of the most unsophisticated pieces of fabrication in the entire report. The mode of communication indicated is a single frequency per channel also referred to as a 'direct mode operation'; (ii) encryption seems to be based on a manual cipher system also known as SLIDEX; (iii) the frequency is VHF (high) and the frequency range (159,500.00 KHz - 160,900.00 KHz - 161,000.00 KHz) indicates some equipment of commercial standard. Hence, it is technically incompatible with the RDF VHF communication system, which uses PRC family military standard with low VHF rage operating from 30 - 80/108 MHz, which means that a two-way communication would be impossible. Furthermore, RDF uses digital encryption imbedded in its communication assets, which confirms that a two way communication is not possible in this case. Additional details confirming that the intercepted radio communication cannot refer to a communication between an RDF communicator and that of M23 is available as Annex I to this submission.
10. Claims of Ntaganda-owned property are categorically false
The so-called evidence of a house pictured allegedly belonging to Ntaganda is demonstrably inaccurate. Investigations on the matter indicate that the house presented as image 15 in the addendum is owned by Mr. Innocent Ndagano alias "Cent Kilos." The certificate of registration of epithetic lease title No. UPI 3/03/04/05/217 is available at Annex J to this submission. It further alleged in the Addendum, that Hotel Bushokoro located at Kinigi is co-owned by Gen. Bosco Ntaganda. That property is actually owned at 50% each by Mr.Enock Munyajabo and his wife Nyiramana Kesie under the certificate of registration of epithetic lease title No. UPI 4/03/07/03/329 (Annex K to this submission).

Shore-Side Adventures:
We carry two boats that take us on shore side adventures:
· Our stout 20' skiff with 75hp outboard engine
· Our favorite little row boat; a wooden classic
Our choice blend of old and new:
The WANDERBIRD is a traditional styled vessel with modern navigation & safety equipment. Our engine is used to take us on our planned course, and sails are supplementary. Modern equipment is used for whalesong recording and other safety/research purposes. But our loving restoration of the WANDERBIRD has retained the feeling of the old Dutch fishing vessel by using traditional materials wherever possible.
Her steel and wood construction combine the 20th-century's highest safety standards with the authenticity of classic 19th-century North Sea fishing vessel.
Safety and Equipment:
Owner operated, WANDERBIRD meets or exceeds all safety requirements for her class of transportation, and Lloyd's specifications for vessels carrying passengers: offshore First Aid kit, full fire detection & fire fighting equipment, high water alarms, Coast Guard approved life jackets, Coast Guard approved survival suits, 2 life boats, 2 bouyant apparatus (20-person capacity), 4 inflatable life rafts (46-person capacity), E.P.I.R.B., oversize life rings with emergency strobe lights, rocket propelled line launchers, full flare kit, 6 water-tight compartments, marine safety & First Aid certified crew.

Safety First: Aboard Wanderbird we have a healthy respect for the power of nature, and passenger safety is always our main concern.
Wanderbird was built as a classic North Sea fishing trawler by the H. de Hass shipyard in Maassluis, Holland. She was launched as beam trawler for the Jaczon's, a Dutch fishing family, in 1963 and fished until 1990. A beam or side trawl carries fishing nets from the side of the vessel. The Dutch have a reputation for being some of the worlds finest shipbuilders, and the North Sea has a reputation for being one of the most cold, harsh, rough seas in the world. She was built to Dutch standards and operated year round in the extreme conditions of the North Sea for 27 years! We chose Wanderbird for her ability to combine tough, dependable transportation with comfort, safety and 19th century European style. Her massively constructed steel hull and high bulwarks make her an optimal choice for safely carrying passengers in Alaska, the North Atlantic and Canadian Maritmes.

If this French Newspaper is correct, the endless rumors can be thrown out the window and facts can finally be put on the table. Daft Punk has officially left EMI and moved to Sony and will be releasing an album in 2013 (according to this en Francais). This will be the first album (excluding Tron) since 2005. Who is happy about this? We know are!
Daft Punk has found a new home. After three albums with EMI, the helmeted duo is about to sign with Sony for his next album. Unless the contract is already signed. Not clear with these two, who cultivate secrecy since their inception and anonymity, although some have been privileged glimpse Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo, openly, at the launch party for the album Kavinsky his friend last week. But the case is heard. The fourth album of Daft Punk released this spring, Sony, its subsidiary Columbia
Daft Punk is finalizing its contract with the label directly to the United States, for a worldwide release. Suffice to say that in France, they will be managed as international artists … coming from across the Atlantic. An approach that looks increasingly common for French musicians who radiate abroad.
Daft Punk has been convinced by the U.S. team Columbia, as were members of Depeche Mode, a few months ago, another transfer from EMI to Sony.
We know little more about the album two French, if not it will be done in collaboration with Nile Rodgers of Chic and is one of the most anticipated records of the year, even if the last record of Daft Punk "Human After All" in 2005, was completely missed … Meanwhile, the duo made a tour which amazed the world and has rekindled the excitement around him.
To be continued …

Johnstown Man Pleads Guilty To Distributing Cocaine
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. - Acting United States Attorney Robert S. Cessar announced today, June 7, 2010, that Brian Hill, a resident of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty in federal court in Johnstown to a charge of distribution of cocaine.
Hill, age 39, pleaded guilty to one count before United States District Judge Kim R. Gibson.
In connection with the guilty plea, Assistant United States Attorney John J. Valkovci, Jr., advised the court that on September 30, 2008, Hill distributed less than 500 grams of cocaine.
Judge Gibson scheduled sentencing for October 13, 2010, at 9:30 a.m. The law provides for a total sentence of 20 years in prison, a fine of $1,000,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed is based upon the seriousness of the offense and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
The Johnstown Police Department, the Cambria County Drug Task Force, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation/Laurel Highlands Resident Agency conducted the investigation that led to the prosecution of Hill.
Protect yourself from fraud, and report suspected cases of financial fraud to local law enforcement.

Time fell away at the Margaret R. Grundy Memorial Library on Wednesday night as exhibits by Bristol High School sophomores and a panel discussion by those who lived through the 1960s revived that era of heroes, war, space travel and social turbulence.
"What was Bristol like?" was told through an oral history project that connected 21st century students with the decade that started with high hopes and ended, some participants said, with lost innocence. The tri-fold exhibits featured pictures and backgrounds of Bristol graduates and their experiences, gleaned through interviews, school and career souvenirs and old yearbooks.

Family fun at International Arts Carnival
Summer is the time for the International Arts Carnival!
Organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, the annual arts festival will be held from July 8 to August 21, featuring more than 480 events for family enjoyment.
This year, there will be six performing groups from Canada, Japan, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Brazil and Spain along with 23 local performing groups to give exciting stage performances such as acrobatics, puppetry, music, dance, drama, clowns.
Launching this year's International Arts Carnival is the Asia premiere "Nomade", by the Canadian Cirque Eloize. Inspired by the wandering spirit and traditional folklore of the gypsies, "Nomade" blends acrobatics, dances and music to bring a surreal journey beyond imagination.
The carnival has three main series: "HeARTS Linked", "ABC, Come and See" and "Andersen Series".
The "HeARTS Linked" series will feature a number of fun and creative programmes, such as "Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves" by Japan's Pikkari Theatre in which the cutest puppets, sweetest songs, colourful costumes and sets galore will be captivating; a unique and utterly crazy "Paper World" by Mimirichi Clowns and Pantomine Theatre from Ukraine. Local groups are "Made in Hong Kong with Harry Wong"; "Shortcut to Classical Music - Musical Terms 'Therapy' Session II" by Hong Sinfonietta in collaboration with Jim Chim; "The Monkey King Goes on Summer Holiday - Tales from Journey to the West" by Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra; "Moomin Valley - The Dream Stealers" by Spring-Time Creative Media; International Children's Film Carnival and Hong Kong Youth Music Camp Concerts.
The "ABC, Come and See" series is a fun-fest specially for the kids three years old or above, featuring "The Flying Babies" by Drak Theatre from Czech Republic; "Cocktail Clown" by Brazilian Group XPTO; "Animals" by El Retablo Puppet Theatre from Spain; "Ah Dull and Little Dragon II - Magic Window" by local Make Friends With Puppet.
In celebration of Hans Christian Andersen's bicentenary anniversary, the festival will bring three stage performances inspired by Andersen's immortal tales: "The Emperor & the Nightingale" by Hong Kong Ballet; "The Beautiful Hearts" by Class 7A Drama Group; "King of Fairy Tales - The Eternal Child" by Hong Kong Dance Company.
"The New Generation" series for teenagers will continue and they will explore their creativity with a multi-media dance workshop, a stage photography workshop and a video workshop.
These include "Andersen's LOOKBook 2005" by DanceArt Hong Kong; "2005: a stage odyssey Photography Workshop"; "Youth in Love with Video Project 2005".
The festival boasts an array of events. Apart from performances, there are workshops, school tours, exhibitions, cultural tours, a graphic design competition, library and museum activities.

Recycling Old Cellphones
NTT Docomo and am/pm Japan are going to begin equipping convenience stores with cellphone recycling bins, so that people can recycle their unwanted handsets. The recycling bins handle all makes and models and are designed to prevent theft.
According to the Pink Tentacle, via MYCOM, Japan's wireless providers have been recycling unwanted phones in their own stores since 1998. But that hasn't been working as well lately:
In recent years, however, more and more customers are waiting to recycle their old handsets, as phones have grown more sophisticated and hold greater amounts of important data that users need to access after switching models. Most users eventually decide to dispose of their phones, though, so NTT is hoping they will make use of these recycling bins, which will initially be set up at eight convenience stores in central Tokyo.
In 2005, NTT apparently harvested 37,993 kg (42 tons) of copper and 145 kg (320 pounds) of gold from old phones.

Reality almost caught up with Indian boxers, as four finals handed out four defeats to the country's boxers, and yielded four silvers pointing at great gumption but not great power.
Overpowered in all four outings, by opponents stronger than them, though not necessarily as skilled, India had cold water thrown at their faces after what has been a glorious run at Glasgow making 4 finals. In the end, they took home 5 medals, including Priti Rani's bronze on Friday.
India's mascot Vijender Singh was pummelled by Antony Fowler in the first two rounds — brute force – and though he pulled some back in the 3-0 loss with two judges even scoring him 10-9 in the last, it was too late to matter. One hammering pushed him to kneeling and the ref administered a standing count, which set the tone for the rest of the match.
For Mandeep Jangra, two standing counts each in Round 1 and 2, against Scott Fitzgerald of England, were one too many even as he had the Englishman on the floor for a knockdown of his own. But it was a unanimous decision, as he couldn't match his heftier opponent's power.
"I should have played aggressive and open guard from the first round itself. I was over-cautious and that didn't suit me. In the third I played my style, but it was late," he regretted, winning a lot of hearts for coming back the way he did, blazing in attack. But the silver was never in doubt.
The gold medals were shared by England 5, Scotland 2, Northern Ireland 2 on the night that India were forced to shrug their shoulders and hope that this was a good start in the post-no-headgear era, though they have much to learn.
A silver lining
You go looking for silver linings to a silver medal after expecting nothing, there can be many. And for Devendro Singh, it was that he wasn't outplayed like he was at London. In fact his coaches seemed to be pretty happy with his outing against Paddy Barnes, the Irishman who had outwitted him at London, and who merely outlasted him at Glasgow.
In the men's light-flyweight (46-49 kg) final, shifted to the Hydro Arena as the numbers of spectators swelled up, Devendro lost a unanimous decision, but had his game-plan right for all intents and purposes. Straight punch-uppercut-straight-hook was a combination he needed to rely on and staying away from his opponent, he dug in a few to emerge an impressive second-best in the furiously paced fight.
A cut on his brow that was masked, and up against an experienced opponent who's handed him drubbing worse than this one, Devendro could not stop …continued »

From WikiCent
The standard purchase would need to function as manicure and pedicure sets that offer such products a nail clippers, documents and cuticle removers. This is a set both men and women should have in order to perform fundamental grooming of the nails. Thankfully it is possible to discover durable and cost-effective selections online or in stores.
Yet another popular choice could be the serum kit. Solution kits have cultivated increasingly popular over time because of the capability of the application to keep blemish-free for extended periods. Unlike other manicure applications, the ties in once utilized and dried do not chip away. A few of the gel products demand the usage of an UV light but this is not a pricey purchase.
Acrylic nail packages will also be highly-popular because of their lovely finishing and low priced. They're but more taxing on the nail beds. You'll realize that options vary from starter to professional level bags when shopping for nail products. The packages are typically cheaper but come with fewer possibilities than skilled nail systems. In the event that you would rather do your self to the job and wish to save yourself more cash in the long term, then a professional package is a good idea. Many come with both written and video instructions on how to make use of them. For example Uñas de gel.

About Me Movie Buff
Comments about Human Target: The Complete First Season DVD:
The intriguing story line and interesting effects lead you to believe you are watching a complete movie in the time it takes to watch a tv show. I can't say enough about the action scenes--so riveting, minus the gore-the show is just a class act. Yet my favorite part of these episodes are the characters and dialogue. Valley is so perfect in the role of Chance, and so likeable, you are left always needing to find out more about him. The interaction between Winston and Guerrero is priceless! Winston has 'annoyed' down to a science and how the writers make Guerrero likeable is beyond me! I am still baffled that this show was cancelled after 2 seasons and so much garbage is still on tv. Can't wait to get my hands on season 2! Don't miss this gem!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I'll be glad when they've made all the money they think that they can for the download so they'll make season 2 available on a disc.
Awesome series - where is the season 2?

About Me Casual Viewer
I loved season one, and bought it right away on DVD. I don't know why there is a hold up on a season 2 DVD set, which had an excellent season and a proper finale (as good as could be done) for the series. Please Warner, release it on physical factory made DVD - many, many people want it that way - not digital downloads... it's just not the same! I would be fine with MOD (manufacture on demand) from your site. Thank you.
Short lived great show
By Movie Buff
from Birmingham, AL
This was one of my favorite shows and I was sorry to see it be around for only two seasons. It was moved around and I think people just did not get a chance "no pun intended" to become engaged with the show or it's characters.

VERY entertaining!

This is a fresh, new approach to the action packed thriller. Great story line for this genre, casting is superb and believable, where is Season 2??

Washington — The international body charged with ending the sale of diamonds related to conflict adopted a resolution that incorporates development and small-scale diamond-mining objectives.
The resolution, called the Washington Declaration, is "a noteworthy achievement," said Gregory Myers, head of the land tenure and property rights division at the U.S. Agency for International Development. USAID's Property Rights and Artisanal Diamond Development program worked to help the body, called the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, recognize that economic development has a role in bringing rough diamonds into legitimate supply chains, according to a November 30 USAID press release.
Participants in the Kimberley Process meeting November 27-30 at the State Department delayed redefining the term "conflict diamond" until at least 2013, when the body's chairmanship transfers to South Africa, with China as vice chair, said Gillian Milovanovic, who represents the United States as the 2012 chair.
Human rights groups had been pushing for the definition to be expanded to cover all forms of violence, not just those involving rebel groups trying to unseat legitimate governments.
According to a communiqué issued at the end of the meeting, the KP admitted Panama, Kazakhstan and Cambodia as participants following the admission in August of Cameroon. The body now consists of 54 participants representing 80 countries, with the European Union counting as one participant.
The KP also agreed to accept the offer of the World Diamond Council to supply administrative support to the body for one year, starting January 1, 2013, Milovanovic said. The diamond industry had long advocated that the body have such support, said WDC President Eli Izhakoff.
In another decision, the KP lifted its 2011 requirement that Zimbabwe's Marange diamond fields be monitored to ensure that no abuses are taking place. Allegations of violence and worker mistreatment led the KP in 2009 to ban diamond sales from Marange mines.
The KP also noted that Zimbabwe, a KP participant, is willing to give civil society members access to Marange fields. It encouraged the country to continue the good practices it developed during 2012.
At the three-day session, representatives of Venezuela said the country intends to reintegrate into the KP, according to the communiqué. However, the KP gave Venezuela an April 1 deadline to submit accurate statistics and to complete a successful participant review mission.
The body noted that in 2012 it had received annual reports from 49 participants. It welcomed commitments by South Africa, Liberia, Togo, Armenia, Guyana, Vietnam and Russia to open their certification systems to its review teams, according to the communiqué.
In December 2000, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution supporting the creation of an international certification scheme for rough diamonds. The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme started when African diamond-producing states met in Kimberley, South Africa, in May 2003, to discuss ways to stop the trade in what are known as conflict diamonds and to ensure that diamond purchases were not financing violence by rebels and their allies seeking to undermine internationally accepted governments.
The Kimberley Process is open to all countries that are willing and able to implement its requirements. The World Diamond Council, representing the international diamond industry, and civil society organizations like Partnership-Africa Canada participate in the KP.
Milovanovic said that as 2012 chair, the United States put the Kimberley Process "on a path to remaining relevant ... to reflect the way the world has changed in the last 10 years and, indeed, the way we expect that the world will continue to change."
"The KP has been successful in preventing diamonds that fund rebel groups from entering global supply chains. This achievement has played a valuable role in diminishing those conflicts the KP was concerned with during its establishment, and has contributed to maintaining the reputation of diamonds as symbols of purity, devotion and enduring love," she said.
More information is available on the Kimberley Process website, and the USAID press release is on USAID's website.

Korean movies are outshining their international counterparts at domestic box offices, according to statistics released recently by the Korean Film Commission, as the top-five most-watched movies at the moment are all homegrown.
It is uncommon for Korean movies to top Hollywood blockbusters all at once, especially early in the year, as Hollywood films gain momentum that is hard to beat. In 2007, Korean films accounted for 50 percent of ticket sales, while the figure last year was 51.9 percent.
Coming in first place is the gangster film "Nameless Gangster", starring Choi Min-sik from "Old Boy" (2003).
The second-most-watched film is "Unbowed", a legal satire. Feel-good comedy "Dancing Queen", 3-D dinosaur film "Tarbosaurus 3D" and "Papa - Movie" came in at third, fourth and fifth places, respectively.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the diverse nature of subject matter covered across the five films is thought to give them a collective advantage.

"Commodicons" help users find and rate nearby restrooms from their phone
CINCINNATI, November 13, 2012 — If you've ever found it difficult to locate a public restroom or been disgusted by the condition of one, your frustration may soon be over. Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ:CTAS), a leader in facility services, today introduced Where to Wee (W2W), a free iPhone and Android mobile phone application that allows users to find public restrooms in their vicinity and rate them based on their cleanliness.
"We have all been in a situation where we've really needed to go to the restroom and did not know where to go," said Staci Farmer, Marketing Manager, Cintas. "With Where to Wee, users have the peace of mind that they'll be able to find a restroom anywhere, and more importantly, that it will be clean based on others' ratings."
When launching the app, users will see a map showing nearby public restrooms, which are highlighted by a colored "commodicon" based on ratings. Top-rated restrooms are indicated with a green icon, average-ranked restrooms are displayed with a yellow icon and unrated restrooms are displayed with a grey icon. By clicking a list icon, users will see a full list of available restrooms including their rating so they can choose the cleanest restroom in their area. W2W has the largest database of restroom locations compared to restroom finder apps, so users always benefit from a comprehensive list of nearby facilities.
To help others locate a clean restroom, the app asks users to rate restroom conditions using a five-point system. Users can rate the availability of soap and toilet paper, the appearance of the sink and toilet areas and odor levels in the restroom. Users can also upload pictures of restrooms directly from their phone into each review. To be rated, a restroom must receive a minimum of five user reviews. Ratings will be based on the most recent reviews to guarantee accuracy and to provide below average restrooms an opportunity to improve their cleanliness for their users and earn higher ratings.
"This app is a huge improvement over basic restroom finder apps because it not only has the most restrooms in its database, but it provides the ability to find a clean restroom based on user ratings," added Farmer. "It eliminates the guesswork of wondering where you can find a restroom and whether it will be suitable when you get there. Whether you're a parent with young kids, a teenager, a road warrior, a holiday traveler, or someone with digestive issues, it's a must-have app and will continue to improve as more users rate restrooms."
W2W is available for complimentary download in the iPhone App store or the Android Marketplace. For more information, please visit www.wheretowee.com

It's tough to know what Tiger Woods' goals are heading into the Quicken Loans National this week, his first tournament since back surgery in March. But if Nick Faldo was in that situation, he would be thrilled simply to play all four rounds at Congressional.
"I think for the rest of us mere mortals coming off back surgery, just making the cut would be a good goal," said the six-time major champion, speaking at an event for Glenmorangie Single Malt Scotch Whisky in New York City on Monday. "That's what I'd be focusing on: making the cut this week and trying to improve on that every week after."
Tiger endured a difficult start to 2014 before opting for back surgery just before the Masters. He finished T-80, WD and T-25 in his three starts this season, and at times looked to be playing through visible pain.
Faldo added that he was slightly shocked Tiger was making a return so quickly, and that he would be surprised if Tiger has only been hitting balls for a few weeks, as initial reports have suggested.
"Don't forget that Congressional is a tough walk," Faldo said. "If I were him if be putting myself through Boot Camp for a couple of weeks before competing."Follow @LukeKerrDineen
