Plans for 2 ND nitrogen fertilizer plants moving aheadThe two companies developing nitrogen fertilizer plants in North Dakota say their projects are moving along.
By: Christopher Bjorke , Forum News Service
The two companies developing nitrogen fertilizer plants in North Dakota say their projects are moving along.
Northern Plains Nitrogen is developing a plant near Grand Forks, N.D., and says it is in the process of purchasing a site and is meeting other goals for the $1.5 billion project.
"We're happy with where we're at right now," says Darin Anderson, chairman of Northern Plains Nitrogen.
CHS Inc. says it has applied for air permits for its nitrogen fertilizer plant planned in the Spiritwood (N.D.) Energy Park near Jamestown.
The permits relate to air emissions from the planned plant, involve regulatory approval from state and federal agencies, and could take up to a year to process.
"It is a good sign," says Jamestown Mayor Katie Andersen. "They are updating the progress they are making."
The plans
In May, Northern Plains announced its plans for a fertilizer plant to produce a variety of nitrogen fertilizer products, with a planned construction start in 2015.
That goal is still feasible, Anderson says, though the project is "maybe a little behind, but not by much."
The plant is slated to begin production in 2017. Northern Plains officials have said they expect the project to require a workforce of about 2,000 during construction and 135 when the facility is up and running.
CEO Don Pottinger broke down project planning into four intertwined components: Securing a supply of natural gas, purchasing a site, assembling financing and distribution for the product.
He says everything but the financing is arranged. While the other three depend on getting the money to make the project viable, investment will not come until the other components are in place.
"It's a juggling act that never ends," he says.
Pottinger and Anderson say Northern Plains' search for investors will likely become easier after Sept. 23 when federal Securities and Exchange Commission rules change to give start-up companies more freedom in advertising their ventures to potential investors.
The CHS plant would produce nitrogen fertilizer from natural gas produced in western North Dakota. CHS says the plant's production would be distributed throughout the Upper Midwest and parts of Canada. The plant is estimated to employ from 100 to 150 people when fully operational.
CHS last released a progress statement on its planning process in February. At that time, company officials were studying the availability of water and natural gas for the project.
CHS said in a news release that it is continuing its Front End Engineering and Design study. The study determines if the needed raw materials are available and what permits and design will work best for the project. CHS hopes to complete that process by November. At that point, a final decision on the plant could be made with construction possibly starting in the first half of 2014.
"This is the first time they have publicly stated the early 2014 construction start date," Katie Andersen says. "They must be growing more confident in that date."
CHS also says the cost of the project has risen from earlier estimates of $1.2 billion to $1.5 billion.
Falling into place
Darin Anderson of Northern Plains says the remaining pieces of the project are falling into place.
The company is purchasing land next to Grand Forks' municipal sewage lagoons north of the city and east of the Interstate 29 interchange at North Washington Street. The company also has an agreement with the city to take 6.8 million gallons of wastewater per day from the lagoon.
The project also has secured its supply of natural gas, Anderson says, the primary feedstock for producing nitrogen. The abundance of natural gas being produced, and often burned off as a waste product, in North Dakota's Oil Patch makes the resource cheaper in the state and the venture more viable, he says.
"There's so much supply out there, it softens the price," he says.
The cost of natural gas generally accounts for 80 percent of the production cost of nitrogen fertilizer, according to Northern Plains.
The plant will receive gas through an existing pipeline near the project site or directly from the Oil Patch through a proposed pipeline, Anderson says.
"Those two are the big ones," says Anderson, referring to natural gas and land.
While Pottinger says the construction of the plant is not yet certain, nothing has happened to derail it.
"There's been speed bumps, not roadblocks," he says.

President Barack Obama essentially secured his reelection bid on Tuesday night.
Obama won the key battleground state of Ohio, early exit polls show, as well as other key states including New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and Iowa.
"We're all in this together. That's how we campaigned," Obama said via his Twitter account. He added, "This happened because of you. Thank you."
After numerous polls, it was projected that Romney would have needed to take a number of these key swing states to win.
The president also took California, which has a whopping 55 votes, as well as Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii. He also took much of the Midwest and all of the northeast United States, including New York.
Romney, however, had a strong showing in much of the southeastern United States as well as well as Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, Texas, Missouri, and others. He took the battleground state of North Carolina.
Florida was the most hotly-contested state and if Obama's victory was not so decisive, the outcome of the state risked repeating similar events in 2000 when there was a mass recount of votes for Al Gore and George W. Bush.

American Capital CleaningRead MoreWhether you're resting in a mountain cabin, traveling through a city, or being vented out an airlock into outer space, dust is all around you. Microscopic particles—usually a combination of soil, pollen, skin cells, and minerals—can pile up quickly indoors. The problem is exacerbated by tiny creatures called dust mites, which gather in groups of 100 to 500 per gram of dust to devour flakes of human skin while multiplying in number, excreting waste, and probably chittering away. No matter where you are on Earth, a mote of dust is presently traveling straight toward your eye, thanks to the persistent creation of dust in almost any climate humans inhabit. Even beyond our planet, dust is ubiquitous: astronomers face the universe's untidiness every time they peer through a telescope and find formations of cosmic dust, which absorb the visible light around them. Although it comes from exploding stars rather than flaky humans, space dust isn't so different from the domestic variety: a 2007 paper published in IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science explored the similarities between the formation of dust bunnies under beds and the coagulation of space dust into planets.1300 Mercantile LnUpper Marlboro, MD US

Environmental Tobacco Smoke
Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is the mixture of smoke that comes from the burning end of a cigarette, pipe, or cigar, and from smoke exhaled by the smoker. It is a complex mixture of over 4,000 compounds, more than 40 of which are known to cause cancer in humans or animals, and many of which are strong irritants. ETS is often referred to as "secondhand smoke" and exposure to ETS is often called "passive smoking."
The health effects from smoking and from breathing ETS are extensive and well understood. They range from lung cancer to emphysema, and also act to exacerbate a wide range of pre-existing respiratory conditions. Children are particularly susceptible to adverse health effects from exposure to ETS.Reducing exposure to ETS is relatively simple:

Exposure to lead can occur through drinking water, food, contaminated soil, deteriorating paint, and dust. Before it was known how harmful lead could be, it was used in paint, gasoline, water pipes, and many other products. Lead-based paint is the most significant source of lead exposure in the U.S. today.
Lead affects practically all systems within the body. At high levels it can cause convulsions, coma, and even death. Lower levels of lead can adversely affect the brain, central nervous system, blood cells, and kidneys.
Elevated blood lead levels affect an estimated 13,800 children under the age six in Virginia. The effects of lead exposure on fetuses and young children can be severe. They include delays in physical and mental development, lower IQ levels, shortened attention spans, and increased behavioral problems. Children may have higher exposures since they are more likely to get lead dust on their hands and then put their fingers or other lead-contaminated objects into their mouths.
The primary source is dust from lead-based paint in many of Virginia's 1.8 million homes built before 1978. Harmful exposures to lead can be created when lead-based paint is improperly removed from surfaces by dry scraping, sanding, or open-flame burning.There are many ways to reduce exposure to lead in homes:
For more information on lead, check with the Environmental Health Division, the Virginia Department of Health and the EPA.
The most common source of indoor radon is uranium in the soil or rock on which homes are built. As uranium naturally breaks down, it releases radon gas (a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas). Radon gas enters homes through dirt floors, cracks in concrete walls and floors, floor drains, and sump pumps. When radon becomes trapped in buildings, exposure can become a concern.
The predominant health effect associated with exposure to elevated levels of radon is lung cancer. Research suggests that swallowing water with high radon levels may pose risks too (although these are believed to be much lower than those from breathing air containing radon).
There are many kinds of inexpensive, easy-to-use radon test kits that you can get through the mail, in hardware stores, and other retail outlets. Make sure that you buy a test kit that has passed EPA's testing program or is state-certified.
You can learn more about radon through EPA's publications, A Citizen's Guide to Radon: The Guide to Protecting Yourself and Your Family from Radon and Home Buyer's and Seller's Guide to Radon. Ways to reduce radon in your home are discussed in EPA's Consumer's Guide to Radon Reduction. You can also get assistance from the Virginia Department of Health's Indoor Radon Program.
Combustion Products
The major constituents of combustion products are carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particles. Potential sources of these pollutants in your home include woodstoves, fireplaces, gas stoves, and unvented kerosene/gas space heaters. Improperly installed or maintained chimneys/flues and cracked furnace heat exchangers can also emit combustion gases and particles. Fireplaces and woodstoves without a dedicated outdoor air supply can 'back-draft', causing combustion product emissions into the living space.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas that interferes with the delivery of oxygen throughout the body. At high concentrations it can cause unconsciousness and death. Lower concentrations can cause a range of symptoms from headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, confusion, and disorientation, to fatigue in healthy people and episodes of increased chest pain in people with chronic heart disease. For more information, check with the City of Alexandria's Fire Department, the EPA or the ALA.
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a colorless, odorless gas that irritates the mucous membranes in the eye, nose, and throat and causes shortness of breath after exposure to high concentrations. There is evidence that high concentrations or continued exposure to low levels of nitrogen dioxide increases the risk of respiratory infection; there is also evidence from animal studies that repeated exposures to elevated nitrogen dioxide levels may lead, or contribute, to the development of lung disease such as emphysema. People at particular risk from exposure to nitrogen dioxide include children and individuals with asthma and other respiratory diseases. For more information, check with the EPA.
To reduce exposure from combustion products in homes:
For more detailed information check with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the EPA, and the ALA.
Household Products
Organic chemicals are widely used as ingredients in household products. Paints, varnishes, and wax all contain organic solvents, as do many cleaning, disinfecting, cosmetic, degreasing, and hobby products. Fuels are made up of organic chemicals. All of these products can release organic compounds while you are using them, and, to some degree, when they are stored.
EPA studies have found levels of about a dozen common organic pollutants to be 2 to 5 times higher inside homes than outside, regardless of whether the homes were located in rural or highly industrial areas. Additional studies indicate that while people are using products containing organic chemicals, they can expose themselves and others to very high pollutant levels, and elevated concentrations can persist in the air long after the activity is completed.
The ability of organic chemicals to cause health effects varies greatly, from those that are highly toxic, to those with no known health effect. As with other pollutants, the extent and nature of the health effect will depend on many factors including the level of exposure and the length of time exposed. Eye and respiratory tract irritation, headaches, dizziness, visual disorders, and memory impairment are among the immediate symptoms that some people have experienced soon after exposure to some organics. At present, not much is known about what health effects occur from the levels of organics usually found in homes.
To reduce exposures to toxic household products:
Check with the EPA for more detailed information on toxic household products.
Asbestos is a mineral fiber that has been used in a variety of building construction materials for insulation and as a fire-retardant. The EPA and CPSC have banned several asbestos products and manufacturers have also voluntarily limited certain uses of asbestos. Today, it is most commonly found in older homes in pipe and furnace insulation materials, asbestos shingles, millboard, textured paints and other coating materials, and floor tiles.
The most dangerous asbestos fibers are too small to be visible. After they are inhaled, they can remain and accumulate in the lungs. Asbestos can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma (a cancer of the chest and abdominal linings), and asbestosis (irreversible lung scarring that can be fatal). Symptoms of these diseases do not show up until many years after exposure began. Most people with asbestos-related diseases were exposed to elevated concentrations on the job.
Usually it is best to leave asbestos material that is in good condition alone as it will not release asbestos fibers. There is no danger unless fibers are released and inhaled into the lungs. Before you have your house remodeled, find out whether asbestos materials are present.
If you are concerned about exposure to asbestos in your home, clean with a wet rag or mop; vacuum with a vacuum cleaner that has a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter; and/or steam clean. If you are unsure about asbestos removal, contact a professionally trained contractor. Select a contractor only after careful discussion of the problems in your home and the steps the contractor will take to clean up or remove them. Consider the option of sealing off the materials instead of removing them. Refer to the City of Alexandria's Office of Environmental Quality and the EPA for more detailed information on this topic
In homes, the most significant sources of formaldehyde are likely to be pressed wood products made using adhesives that contain urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins. The rate at which products like pressed wood or textiles release formaldehyde can change. Formaldehyde emissions will generally decrease as products age. When the products are new, high indoor temperatures or humidity can cause increased release of formaldehyde from these products.
Formaldehyde, a colorless, pungent-smelling gas, can cause watery eyes, burning sensations in the eyes and throat, nausea, and difficulty in breathing in some humans exposed at elevated levels (above 0.1 parts per million). High concentrations may trigger attacks in people with asthma. There is evidence that some people can develop sensitivity to formaldehyde. It has also been shown to cause cancer in animals and may cause cancer in humans.
To reduce exposures to formaldehyde, ask about the formaldehyde content of pressed wood products, including building materials, cabinetry, and furniture before you purchase them.
For more information on formaldehyde, check with the EPA.
According to a recent survey, 75 percent of U.S. households used at least one pesticide product indoors during the past year. Products used most often are insecticides and disinfectants. Another study suggests that 80 percent of most people's exposure to pesticides occurs indoors and that measurable levels of up to a dozen pesticides have been found in the air inside homes. Pesticides used in and around the home include products to control insects (insecticides), termites (termiticides), rodents (rodenticides), fungi (fungicides), and microbes (disinfectants). They are sold as sprays, liquids, sticks, powders, crystals, balls, and foggers.
In 1990, the American Association of Poison Control Centers reported that some 79,000 children were involved in common household pesticide poisonings or exposures. In households with children under five years old, almost one-half stored at least one pesticide product within reach of children.Both the active and inert ingredients in pesticides can be organic compounds; therefore, both could add to the levels of airborne organics inside homes. Both types of ingredients can cause the effects discussed in this document under 'Household Products'; however, as with other household products, there is insufficient understanding at present about what pesticide concentrations are necessary to produce these effects.

Biological Agents
Molds are organisms that are found indoors and outdoors, are part of the natural environment and play an important role in the environment by breaking down and digesting organic material. Also called fungi or mildew, molds are neither plants nor animals; they are part of the kingdom Fungi. Molds can multiply by producing microscopic spores (2 - 100 microns [µm] in diameter), that function similarly to the seeds produced by plants. Many spores are so small they easily float through the air and can be carried for great distances by even the gentlest breezes. The number of mold spores suspended in indoor and outdoor air fluctuates from season to season, day to day, and even hour to hour.
Mold spores cannot be eliminated from indoor environments. Some mold spores will be found floating through the air and in settled dust; however, they will not grow if moisture is not present. Mold is not usually a problem indoors unless they land on a wet or damp surface and begin growing. Therefore, the most important thing you can do to prevent mold infestations in your home is to eliminate sources of moisture.
Allergic reactions to mold are common and can be either immediate or delayed. Repeated or single exposure to mold, mold spores, or mold fragments may cause non-sensitive individuals to become sensitive to mold, and repeated exposure has the potential to increase this sensitivity. Allergic responses include hay fever-like symptoms such as headache, sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin rash. Molds can cause asthma attacks in people with asthma who are allergic to mold. In addition, molds can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of individuals whether or not they are allergic to mold. Breathing in mold may also cause hypersensitivity pneumonitis, an uncommon disease that resembles bacterial pneumonia. In addition, mold exposure may result in opportunistic infections in persons whose immune systems are weakened or suppressed.
When mold grows indoors, occupants may begin to report odors and a variety of symptoms that may be associated with exposure to mold. But all of these symptoms may be caused by other exposures or conditions unrelated to mold growth. Therefore, it is important not to immediately assume that, whenever any of these symptoms occurs, mold is the cause.
Some compounds produced by molds have strong smells, are volatile and are quickly released into the air. These compounds are known as microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs). Because mVOCs often have strong or unpleasant odors, they can be the source of the "moldy odor" or musty smell frequently associated with mold growth. A moldy odor suggests that mold is growing in your house and should be investigated.>
The health effects of inhaling mVOCs are largely unknown, although exposure to mVOCs has been linked to symptoms such as headaches, nasal irritation, dizziness, fatigue, and nausea. More research is needed to determine whether there are any human health effects from non-occupational indoor exposures to mVOCs.
Mold can grow on virtually any organic material as long as moisture and oxygen are present. There are molds that grow on wood, paper, carpet, food, and insulation. Because mold eats or digests what it is growing on, it can damage a building and its furnishings. If left unchecked, mold eventually can cause structural damage to building materials. You can prevent damage to your home and contents, save money, and avoid potential health problems by controlling moisture and eliminating mold growth. Eliminating all mold and mold spores indoors is virtually impossible, but controlling indoor moisture will control the growth of indoor mold.
Moisture problems can have many causes. Some moisture problems have been linked to changes in building construction practices since the 1970s. These practices led to buildings that are tightly sealed but, in some cases, lack adequate ventilation. Without adequate ventilation, moisture may build up indoors and mold may grow.
Delayed or insufficient maintenance can lead to moisture problems in buildings. Undiscovered or ignored moisture problems can create an environment in which mold can grow. Common moisture problems include:
Some moisture problems are not easy to see (for example, the inside of walls). Mold is frequently found on walls in cold corners behind furniture where condensation forms. Other possible locations of hidden moisture, resulting in hidden mold growth are:
You may suspect mold, even if you can't see it, if your home smells moldy. Sometimes, humidity or dampness (water vapor) in the air can supply enough moisture for mold growth. Indoor relative humidity (RH) should be kept below 60 percent — ideally between 30 percent and 50 percent, if possible. Low humidity may also discourage pests (such as cockroaches) and dust mites.
Humidity levels can rise in a house as a result of the use of humidifiers, steam radiators, moisture-generating appliances such as dryers, and combustion appliances such as stoves. Cooking and showering also can add to indoor humidity.
One function of the building heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is to remove moisture from the air before the air is distributed throughout the building. If the HVAC system is turned off during or shortly after major cleaning efforts that involve a lot of water, such as mopping and carpet shampooing or cleaning, the humidity may rise greatly, and moisture or mold problems may develop.
Condensation can be a sign of high humidity. When warm, humid air contacts a cold surface, condensation may form. (To see this, remove a cold bottle of water from a refrigerator and take it outside on a hot day. Typically, condensation will form on the outside of the bottle.) Humidity can be measured with a humidity gauge or meter; models that can monitor both temperature and humidity are generally available for less than $50 at hardware stores or on the Internet.
Areas that are always or often damp, such as bathrooms, laundry/utility rooms, and basements, are common locations for mold growth in homes. Regularly check areas that have been or are likely to get wet. If you hire a home inspector, building inspector, or other professional to locate a water or mold problem, make sure the professional has experience identifying and locating mold and water problems. Check references and look for membership in professional organizations.
If possible, dry all items within 24-48 hours of their becoming wet.
To dry carpet and backing within 48 hours, remove water with a wet vacuum, pull the carpet and pad off the floor, and dry them using a fan to blow air over them. A dehumidifier can be used to reduce the humidity in the room where the carpet and backing are drying, while fans can be used to accelerate the drying process.
Water can be removed from concrete or cinder block surfaces with a water-extraction vacuum. The drying also can be accelerated by using dehumidifiers, fans, and heaters.
Hard surface flooring (such as linoleum, ceramic tile, and vinyl) should be vacuumed or damp wiped with a mild detergent and allowed to dry. They should be scrubbed clean, if necessary. If the under-flooring is wet, it should be dried using a vacuum or by exposing it to the air.
Non-porous, hard surfaces such as plastics and metals should be vacuumed or damp wiped with water and mild detergent, then allowed to dry. Scrubbing may be necessary to thoroughly clean the surfaces.
Water should be removed from upholstered furniture with a water-extraction vacuum. Fans, dehumidifiers, and heaters may be used to accelerate the drying process. Completely drying upholstered furniture within 48 hours may be difficult, so if the piece is valuable, you may consider consulting a restoration or water-damage professional who specializes in furniture.
Drywall, also known as gypsum board or gypsum wallboard, may be dried in place if there is no obvious swelling and the seams are intact. Otherwise, removal is necessary. The wall cavity is the most difficult area to dry, and it should be ventilated if drywall is left to dry in place. (Drywall is not made out of boards of wood; traditionally, drywall is made of the mineral gypsum with a layer of heavy paper on the outside and inside. Commercial gypsum boards and drywall are also available with a variety of outside layers and coatings. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a typical new home contains more than 7 metric tons of gypsum.)
To clean water-damaged window drapes, follow the manufacturer's laundering or cleaning instructions.
To clean wooden surfaces, remove moisture immediately and use dehumidifiers, fans, and gentle heat to dry them. (Be very careful when applying heat to hardwood floors.) Treated or finished wood surfaces can be cleaned with mild detergent and clean water, then allowed to dry. Wet paneling should be pried from the wall for drying.
Some water-damaged items, including ceiling tiles, cellulose and fiberglass insulation, drywall and gypsum board, and books and papers, may have to be discarded. If valuable or important books, documents, or other items are moldy or water damaged, you may wish to consult a restoration, water damage, or remediation expert.
These guidelines are for damage caused by clean water. If you know or suspect that the water is contaminated with sewage, or with chemical or biological pollutants, then PPE and containment are required by OSHA. An experienced professional should be consulted if you or your remediators do not have expertise remediating in contaminated water situations. Do not use fans until you have determined that the water is clean or sanitary.
Before planning a remediation effort, the size and extent of the mold problem and any continuing moisture problems should be assessed. Remediations generally can be divided into small (less than 10 square feet of mold), medium (10-100 square feet of mold), and large jobs (more than 100 square feet of mold). A remediation manager should be selected for medium or large jobs. You may choose to involve an experienced health and safety professional in remediation projects, particularly on large or complex jobs.
Questions to consider before starting remediation include:
Remediating mold and moisture problems may be complex, and it may increase exposure to mold unless personal protective equipment (PPE) is used.
A variety of methods are available to remediate damage to structures and furnishings caused by moisture-control problems and mold. The procedures selected depend on the size of the moldy area and the type of contaminated materials. Budget may also be a concern. The methods presented in this section outline one approach; some professionals may prefer to use other methods. Cleanup methods may include the following.
Wet, or water-extraction, vacuums are designed to collect water. They can be used to remove water that has accumulated on floors, carpets, and hard surfaces. Wet vacuums should be used only when materials are still wet, otherwise they may spread mold spores. Wet vacuums alone will not dry carpets. Wet carpets must be pulled up and dried, then reinstalled. The carpet padding also must be dried. The tanks, hoses, and attachments of wet vacuums should be thoroughly cleaned and dried after use because mold and mold spores may stick to their surfaces.
Mold can generally be removed from hard surfaces by wiping or scrubbing with water and detergent. Always follow the cleaning instructions on product labels. Surfaces cleaned by damp wiping should be dried quickly and thoroughly to discourage further mold growth. Porous materials that are wet and have mold growing on them may have to be discarded. Because mold will infiltrate porous substances and grow on or fill in empty spaces or crevices, completely removing mold can be difficult, if not impossible. Mold can also cause staining and other cosmetic damage.
High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) vacuums are recommended for the final clean up of remediation areas after materials have been thoroughly dried and contaminated materials have been removed. HEPA vacuums are also recommended for cleaning up dust that has settled outside the remediation area. When changing the vacuum filter, workers should wear PPE to prevent exposure to mold that has been captured in the vacuum. The filter and contents of the HEPA vacuum must be disposed of in well-sealed plastic bags. Care must be taken to ensure that the new filter is properly seated on the vacuum so there are no leaks.
Mold-contaminated building materials that cannot be salvaged should be double-bagged in 6-mil or thicker polyethylene bags. The bagged materials usually can be discarded as ordinary construction waste. Packaging mold-contaminated materials in sealed bags before removing them from the containment area is important to minimize the spread of mold spores throughout the home. Large items that have heavy mold growth should be covered with polyethylene sheeting and sealed with duct tape before being removed from the containment area.
For large or complex mold remediation jobs, you may consider hiring professionals who have experience working on large mold remediation projects, particularly since extensive containment and PPE may be needed. Be sure to check references and ensure that the professional has experience working in mold remediation situations. Remediators should follow EPA mold remediation guidance or other government or professional remediation guidance. Occupants need to be informed about what is going to happen, when it will happen, and how they may be affected.
Mold remediation involving a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system should be done only by professionals experienced in working with HVAC systems. Professionals may have several different methods and techniques for approaching HVAC remediation. As with the rest of a mold remediation project, professional judgment is required when working with HVAC systems, and professionals may use materials, methods, and techniques not mentioned on this webpage.
Locating, Diagnosing and Preventing Mold Growth in Various Areas of Your House:
Hidden Mold: You may suspect hidden mold if a building smells moldy, but you cannot see the source; or if you know there has been water damage. Mold may be hidden in places such as the back side of dry wall, wallpaper, or paneling; the top side of ceiling tiles; the underside of carpets and pads; the inside of walls around pipes (with leaking or condensing pipes); the surface of walls behind furniture (where condensation forms); inside ductwork; and in roofing materials above ceiling tiles (due to roof leaks or insufficient insulation).
Investigating hidden mold problems may be difficult and will require caution when it involves disturbing potential sites of mold growth. For example, wallpaper removal can lead to a massive release of spores if mold is growing on the underside of the paper. If you believe that you may have a hidden mold problem, consider hiring an experienced professional.
Ventilation (HVAC) Systems: HVAC systems are a frequent source of moisture problems in a home, creating favorable conditions for mold growth both within and surrounding them. They should be inspected and maintained by a qualified HVAC contractor at least once per year and the following factors should be considered, particularly if you suspect that you may have HVAC-related moisture or mold problems.
The condensate drain pan, located under the air conditioning cooling coils, is a frequent source of problems in the home (see Figure 1). As the air passes through the coils it is cooled, resulting is condensation and a lowering of the relative humidity. In a properly functioning system, all of the condensate is collected in the pan, and is safely drained away.
Problems occur when the condensate doesn't drain, or when the pan leaks or overflows. When drainage is the problem, the condensate stagnates and a biofilm can form on the surface. Mold and bacteria thrive in this environment and can enter your home through the supply air. If the pan leaks or overflows, surfaces surrounding the HVAC unit can become saturated with water resulting in significant mold growth. If these problems occur:
To reduce the risk of sewer gases entering the HVAC system, make sure that all drain lines are properly trapped.
Air leakage from ductwork is another potential problem area; particularly if the air handling equipment is located in an unconditioned space (leakage also results in a major waste of energy). Supply duct leakage introduces heat and water vapor into areas such as attics, basements or crawl spaces that need to remain dry to prevent mold growth. Air leakage into return ducts from unconditioned spaces can result in elevated relative humidity in occupied areas of your house. Ductwork leakage can also create undesirable pressure differentials between rooms, conditioned and unconditioned spaces, and the house and the outdoors. During regular mechanical system maintenance, it is beneficial to have the degree of duct leakage evaluated, and all joints and seams re-sealed as necessary. Ductwork also needs to be properly insulated, both as an energy-saving measure and to prevent condensation problems in unconditioned spaces during the cooling season.
If you're having problems keeping the relative humidity down in the summer months (the air may seem cold and clammy or surfaces feel damp), have your maintenance provider determine if you have an oversized cooling system. Modern cooling equipment has become very efficient at removing heat, so it doesn't have to run very long to adequately cool the house (if oversized, it may only have to be on for several minutes). Unfortunately, this does not allow adequate time for dehumidification to take place in the cooling coils, and it is difficult to maintain relative humidity levels below 60% during the cooling season. If this is the case, see if your service provider can adjust the system to increase cooling cycle. Otherwise, it may be necessary to purchase portable or in-line dehumidifiers.
Attics: Attics are a prime location for water leakage and condensation problems, and should be periodically inspected for signs of moisture or mold growth. This has an added benefit to a homeowner because solving the underlying causes of moisture in the attic can reduce energy costs and prevent damage to the roof and ceiling structures.
Although problems can occur throughout the year, most happen during the winter months when warm air from the house infiltrates the attic and condenses on cold surfaces. This may be caused by insufficient ceiling insulation, air leaks, or both. The most effective way to prevent this is to keep the attic as cold as possible by reducing air leakage/heat flow from the house and providing uniform venting of the space.
There are several ways to determine if you have a problem. During the winter observe the roof following a snowfall. If the snow melts unevenly or quicker than your neighbors (given similar solar loads), there is a good chance that your attic is too warm and condensation/mold growth may be occurring. Similarly, there may be a problem if snow and ice accumulate near the eaves of the roof, forming an 'ice dam'.
Another way to locate problems any time of the year is to go up in the attic and observe both exposed and hidden surfaces looking for moisture, stains, deteriorating lumber, or mold growth. Check the ceiling substrate beneath the insulation, the roof sheathing/rafters, the surfaces on or below the air handling units/ductwork, the ceiling insulation, and the spaces within the eaves/overhangs. See if there is a 'musty' odor in the attic space.
If you locate mold growth or water-related problems, try to determine the source of the moisture (leakage, condensation, or both). For example, if the problem area is located:
Certain attic-related moisture/mold problems can be very complex, and not easy to diagnose and successfully solve. For these, consider retaining a qualified contractor to assist you. Once you have a good idea of the source of the problem, you can identify the necessary corrective measures.
For roof leaks:
For condensation problems:
For HVAC leaks, or direct condensation problems:
Basements: Basements, whether finished or unfinished, conditioned or unconditioned constitute a significant source of moisture infiltration into a home, frequently resulting in mold growth. Possible problems include high humidity (and condensation on cool surfaces), water leakage through perimeter foundation walls, and hidden mold in finished wall assemblies. Basements are also subject to periodic flooding from internal sources, such as water heaters, cloth washers, plugged drains/sumps, or miscellaneous sources from the floors above. Besides the obvious mold and air quality issues, basement moisture problems can have a large, negative and expensive impact on the durability of the entire house.
In an unfinished basement, moisture and mold problems are usually fairly obvious:
In a finished basement, many of the above indicators are covered up by wall, floor, and ceiling assemblies, so problems are more difficult to detect. Generally, if the air is stuffy and damp, and/or there is a musty odor, mold is growing in concealed spaces.
The prevention of external water leakage through the foundation and concrete slab actually begins outside of the house; rainwater must be kept away from the house. One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is to make sure that the roof has gutters, and that they are kept clean and unobstructed (including the downspouts). The discharge should also be directed away from the perimeter of the house, preferably by a distance of at least 10 feet.
Next, make sure that the ground around your home's foundation should be graded to slope down and away from your house at a minimum rate of 1/2" to 1" per linear foot. Finally, make sure that driveways and patios slope and drain away from your house, and that window wells are well drained.
In an unfinished basement (if your basement has a dirt floor, see the section on Crawl Spaces).
Crawl Spaces: Many homes built on crawl space foundations, particularly in humid climates such as ours, experience problems with moisture control and mold. Frequently, these spaces have dirt floors, which are difficult to keep dry and subject to periodic standing water from runoff or groundwater. Even if the soil is apparently dry, it continues to emit soil gases (with a distinctive earthy odor) that contain water vapor and contribute to humidity problems in the space. As there can be many cool surfaces in a crawl space, condensation can contribute significant amounts of moisture.
Besides visible mold growing on surfaces in the crawl space, symptoms of problems include:
These problems are most prevalent during the summer months but can occur year round. The key to preventing them is keeping the crawl space dry. This somewhat difficult task can be achieved using some or all of the following suggestions:
Find neighborhood parks?
Start a small business?

interviewBy Deodatus Balile
Dar es Salaam — Ramadhan Dau, director general of Tanzania's National Social Security Fund (NSSF), said the fund will invest 500 million shillings ($320,000) in football next year.
Dau said the state company, which manages the pensions of Tanzania's workers, had previously invested in the real estate market to sustain its cash flow, but following a review of a recent feasibility study the managing board decided to invest in football instead.
Next year's investment will be just the starting point of what Dau calls a long-term investment vehicle for NSSF that can help create jobs and provide a return to fund contributors.
Dau, a former University of Dar es Salaam lecturer and a self-described football fanatic, sat with Sabahi to discuss why the NSSF felt compelled to invest in football and how it plans to make the project profitable for fund contributors.
Sabahi: Tanzanians love football, but the country continuously fares poorly in most international tournaments. What can be done to improve football standards?
Ramadhan Dau: We have healthy and talented youth. Football is the number one game in the country in terms of the number of fans. Fans are willing to pay entrance fees even with these poor results. I wondered what we were missing as a country and the answer is very clear: We lack serious football management.
Sabahi: What is the NSSF planning to do about it?
Dau: In the last NSSF board meeting [held in December], we agreed that we cannot remain bystanders. As an organisation that stands for hope, we decided to invest substantially in football. We have set aside 500 million Tanzanian shillings ($320,000) in the 2013 budget to invest in football.
Last October, I travelled to Manchester in the United Kingdom to set the grounds for this. We want to enter into contracts with world-class teams to enjoy their technical support in our endeavour to revive football in Tanzania.
For starters, we will enrol kids [aged 7 to 13]. They will be given standard trainings that include physical training and psychological conditioning to become good footballers. We will employ doctors to take care of them and provide a balanced diet to maintain stable health. These young, talented players will go to school in the morning and come back to [the camp] in the evening for football trainings.
Sabahi: When you travelled to the United Kingdom, what was the response of people there?
Dau: The response was very good. I met [Manchester United manager] Sir Alex Ferguson who was very much impressed with the plan. As it goes, their co-operation [with international clubs] is going to be more than [providing technical support]. The NSSF will nurture these younger players to the ages of 15 and 17, then we will [help them secure contracts with] big clubs from Europe or other interested countries in the world.
I had said that the big problem for our football is management. We want to do away with that problem. After spotting [talented] young boys, we will enter into a contract with them [with approval from] their parents.
We will pay them monthly salaries and that money will go straight to their personal bank accounts. Those funds will be available [for their personal use] as NSSF will pay for their upkeeps and school fees throughout the contract period.
The contract will allow NSSF to recover invested cost once the player is sold abroad. This means we will produce quality players capable of paying back invested cost. For example if we spend something like $1 million to $3 million for say a period of five to eight years to train a player, and manage to sell the player to world class clubs for just $8 million, this means we will recover the cost and share the profit. That way we will sustain the project.
Sabahi: What is the next step in the plan?
Dau: The vision is to build a football academy, but we do not want to wait. At the beginning of next year, we will rent a building and convert it into a [dormitory]. These young talented players will continue to go to school in public schools while we finalise the process of building an academy in the suburbs of Dar es Salaam.
Sabahi: How many players will you recruit and what will be the criteria?
Dau: We have budgeted for 50 players for 2013. But as we go on, the number will increase to about 300. That is our target in the next 10 years. We are going to use inter-school competitions [to select students]. From kindergarten, we will start spotting the talents of students throughout the country and nurture them.
Sabahi: How will this benefit the country and help to improve football?
Dau: It is very clear. First of all, [the NSSF] will have a football club that will participate in our national premier league. With motivated players who are well trained and well paid, I am sure they will pull up the premier league standard.
Sabahi: In December, FIFA, the international organisation that governs football and organises the World Cup, ranked Tanzania 130th out of 207 members. What position can Tanzania achieve with the NSSF investment?
Dau: Our immediate target is within the top 50 positions. [After that], we will strive to be in the top 30 countries and continue to push up, eyeing number one. I do not see why we should not.
Sabahi: What is the NSSF's biggest goal with this programme?
Dau: Our first and only participation in the Africa Cup of Nations was in 1980. We have never participated in the World Cup as a country. Now we should be there. It has been a long wait and the NSSF is committed to turning around this unacceptable situation.

fear of caputo conquered
We had my husband's birthday party last night. He wanted pizza in the wfo, of course. So I finally used my birthday caputo and made dough following the FB recipe.
It was so nice to handle! Even with our less than stellar shaping skills, we turned out 8 really nice pizzas. Sorry no pictures, but I'm the only one who ever takes pictures and I was sort of busy... and they were eaten as fast as I could produce them!
The caputo is worth every penny for pizza dough. It practically volunteers to spread itself for you! I had to work at getting the edge right, because the middle, usually my problem area, just magically appeared, and without holes. We had a few oversized rims, but for those of us who like the crust better than the toppings, that's not a problem. :p

Sauber's Japanese driver Kamui Kobayashi crashes at the Circuit de Monaco in Monte Carlo.
LONDON: Even if Formula One fans are reveling in the joy of an unprecedented six different winners from six races, some of those closer to the action are beginning to feel uneasy.
Before Red Bull's Australian Mark Webber won from pole position in Monaco Sunday, retired triple champion Niki Lauda was expressing the view that the championship might be becoming too random.
"It was very interesting in the beginning, we all were surprised," the Austrian, who chased the title in 1983 when the first five races had five different winners, told Reuters of the unpredictable nature of the races.
"But if this continues ... then we will lose spectators or interest because the main public wants to see the world champions winning ... We need two races with known winners and then the crazy stuff can start again."
The only problem with Lauda's logic is that there remain three champions on the starting grid who have yet to win this season – McLaren's Lewis Hamilton, Lotus's Kimi Raikkonen and Mercedes' Michael Schumacher.
If they were to win the next three races in Canada, Valencia and Silverstone – not an impossible scenario given the potential of their cars – the sport would be staring at a sequence of nine different winners in nine races, albeit mostly champions.
The "crazy stuff" has not even been that crazy in a season that started with six champions.
Nico Rosberg has taken a long overdue first win with Mercedes – at the 111th attempt – while Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado put former champions Williams back on top for the first time in nearly eight years.
Yes, Maldonado may have been a 500-1 bet before Barcelona but he was on the pace all weekend at a circuit that the teams know better than any other.
France's Romain Grosjean and Mexican Sergio Perez have made first appearances on the podium for Lotus and Sauber but their teams have considerable form and both are recognized as being quick drivers.
The uncertainty has been largely due to the Pirelli tyres, and how teams and drivers have got the most out of them, but errors have also contributed.
Maldonado might not have won in Spain had McLaren not messed up with Lewis Hamilton's fuel, sending him from pole to the back of the field.
Monaco might have been a very different story had seven-times champion Schumacher not lost pole because of a five-place penalty carried over from Barcelona where he had crashed into Bruno Senna's Williams.
"I think it's an enthralling sport at the moment," said McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh. "A few years ago people were talking about processional races, and the fact they were so predictable, well, we certainly haven't a predictable season. I think an unpredictable race and an unpredictable season is what fans want.
"You want to go to each event not knowing who is going to win," added the Briton. "You want to go through the course of the weekend not sure what is going to happen in each session. Every one of our races this year has been very exciting."
McLaren's Jenson Button, winner of the opening race in Australia, agreed but suggested the sport could have too much of a good thing.
"Everyone is excited about so many different winners, which initially was great for the fans and great for the sport," the 2009 champion told reporters after failing to finish in Monaco. "But there will be a time when the fans will say 'So anyone can win a Grand Prix, everyone can lose a Grand Prix like that.'
"I think they're finding it a little bit strange now. I don't know, but hopefully a pattern will emerge after the next couple of races and we'll understand the teams and drivers we need to beat to win the championship."

BlackBerry 10 London leaked photo shows touch-screen phone
As the device maker works on a revamped design, a photo and video leaked on the Web show a touch-screen smartphone with apps and a removable battery.
A new leaked photo of the BlackBerry 10 smartphone, or the "London," promises a completely different looking BlackBerry than the world is used to.
According to the BlackBerry news site N4BB, a photo of the device (which is designed by Porsche) shows a slender touch-screen phone that is the color "gun metal." Several apps are shown in the photo, including Facebook, BBM, and DocsToGo.
Another leak posted by BlackBerryItalia.it shows a video (see below) of the smartphone with a removable 1800mAh LS1 battery.
The London is the first BlackBerry 10 and is slated to have a TI OMAP dual-core CPU running at 1.5GHz, as well as 1GB of RAM, 16GB storage, and an 8-megapixel camera.
Reportedly, the device maker plans to launch this BlackBerry 10 L-Series first and will then debut the N-Series. The London is set to hit stores early next year.

Glitch Furniture Makes Your Room Look Like It's Malfunctioning
No, your screen's not bugging out. This cabinet's just born this way.
This insane looking cabinet (titled Good Vibrations) was hand-carved by Ferruccio Laviani and will reportedly be shown at the Salone Del Mobile expo in Milan in April. If you ever want furniture that convinces your brain it's a glitched-out cassette tape, here's your chance.
[Update] You're probably wondering what this thing looks like from the side. Unfortunately the Fratelli Boffi design house has said that this is a early preview computer rendering, and they will only release an actual photo in the April exhibition. Meanwhile, this will be our best preview of the side view of the cabinet:
And judging by Laviani's previous creations for this design house, he's no stranger to insane furniture. Here's a piece from a collection called F*** The Classics:
And here's a wooden table carved to look like its has tablecloth:
Three cheers to designer Ferruccio Laviani for making us not know what's IRL and what's URL anymore.

A really important and personal blog post from Shaa Wasmund today. I want to share this great post as it contains a message that is very close to my heart and is a great reminder of the importance our mindset and attitude plays towards achieving a healthy work/life balance. Check out the post here. WHY MINDFULNESS MATTERS: GET MORE DONE… BY DOING LESS Shaa talks about the importance of protecting your most valuable asset (time) and making some big choices about where we focus that time. For me I often say we are constantly surrounded by "time bandits", those tempting and often perceived essential demands for our time and attention. I know from personal experience (especially as a business owner) we are often exposed to so many of these "shiny" things that draw us away from the precious and more important places where our time should be spent, like our families and friends. For those who know … Continued
Successful Mindset Tip number 7 There are many aspects to a successful mindset in business. Hustling is something that I see in great business owners. It doesn't have to be done in a negative, harming way. On the contrary hustling is a key part of the successful mindset for any business owner. Hustle: By definition 1. To move or act energetically and rapidly: 2. To push or force one's way. 3. To act aggressively, especially in business dealings. Never take 'no' for an answer. If you're crazy enough to think you can change the business world, some of the rational and safe people around you will write you off as mad. So in order to get what you want you are going to need to hustle and serve your customers amazingly well to be successful as a business owner – It reminds me of a great phrase I first heard from Shaa Wasmund on stage in January 2014. "Hustle and Serve, Hustle and Serve" It creates a greater sense of balance for something that may feel a … Continued

Wash wonderfully too!
By Sandi
from Newmarket
I bought two of these when they were the showstopper before xmas and two pillowcases for my daughter & I. Wow, they do deliver absolutely everything promised including washing like a dream!!!Love, love, love them and would and will buy more for gifts, sisters, spare room etc! I am hoping for a sheet set as a showstopper in the near future. That would complete the luxurious sleep but we may not get out of bed!Thank you,HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who would like to have a wonderful, luxurious bed and sleep to boot! :)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Disappointed that I had to return it.
By GVC
from Toronto
I am a menopausal woman and I had high hopes that this would resolve the bedcovers issue for me and my partner. Our traditional duvet was too hot for me but a blanket wasn't warm enough for him. When I saw this product, I thought it might be the perfect solution. We tried it and he loved it but I was just too hot, so had to send it back. Still looking for the ideal solution to a problem shared by millions of couples.

Perfect weight for me, can't stand anything too heavy.I only need a sheet and the duvet.So comfortable.
Great purchase
By V
from Montreal, Quebec
Bought 3 of them, Gave 2 as presents and both friends are happy. I'm very satisfied with the quality, is ultra light and still keeps you warm. If the logo on it wasn't big and obvious, I'd use it without any cover.
Perfect solution
By ETC
from Vancouver Island, BC
We only just starting using this silk duvet and I am already loving it. We used to have a down duvet and it was just too hot for us. I find a comforter not warm enough for me so I pull up a heavy throw, getting too warm. My husband is always tossing off the covers because he already sleeps warm and neither of us like the extra weight. This really is a perfect combination of lightness, warmth and comfort. I use a cotton cover to protect it and am looking forward to years of comfy sleep.
Love it!
By Bobo
from Calgary, AB
I purchased one for my son and one for us. Right away, I noticed how light this duvet was compared to our old duvet. It feels so nice not to have the extra weight on top of you. The duvet keeps us warm, but not too hot. My husband was skeptical at first, but had to admit that this was a good purchase. He said that he sleeps more comfortably because he's not having to kick the covers off and put them back on.My son used to kick his covers off all the time because he got too warm at night, but he's no longer doing this as the duvet keeps the right temperature.
Love This!!

I love this duvet!
By Nurse1
from Alberta
This is simply beautiful crisp clean lines and fits my king sized bed perfectly. The best part of this duvet? I slept through the night without waking up hot or cold. It is amazing light but not so light that it feels like something is missing. My feet were warm and the rest of me stayed just right. I would like to see a cover for it as I have dogs who like to sleep with me. There weren't covers when I purchased this as the Showstopper. Next time?

The packaging was "iffy"
By bluenovember
from Toronto, ON
I have purchased one Silk Impressions duvet before and wanted another one for my daughter. It came inside a cardboard box in an open wrinkled plastic bag that only had loosely tied knot. So not only it wasn't sealed - for obvious hygienic reasons - but it made me think that it might have been used by someone else as the cover fabric was wrinkled as well.... I am forced to return it even though I am so satisfied with the previous one. The thought that someone might have slept under it completely put me off......Previous packaging was different: it came in zipped plastic bag and it was neatly folded so when opened just had crisp folding lines... I appeal to TSC to have more influence about how the items are shipped...
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
By Snooks
from Edson,Alberta
I have silk on all of the beds in my house now!!!After the first duvet I was hooked.We sleep on a mattress cover of silk,silk pillowcases,silk blanket and when that Alberta Clipper starts blowing in the cold we have the duvet to throw on top.I have a lot of allergies and I find I don't wake up with puffy eyes,I can breathe during the night and the bonus is I don't wake up with bed head thanks to my silk pillowcases.Oh and we sleep on our silk pillows.I am slowly outfitting all the beds and so far they have the blankets and duvets.All the kids (3) got silk duvets under the tree last year so they are not just spoiled at "home".We love our silks.Now how about some sheets?I have recommended these to friends already

THE MUSIC industry's masterplan to deter home CD copying is in tatters this week, following the discovery of a technical flaw in CD recorders which allows copyright material on CDs to be copied onto cheap blank CD-ROMs.
To deter home CD copying, the major record companies persuaded Philips and Sony to ensure that consumer CD recorders could only record on £5 blank CDs, rather than on what initially were identical CD-ROM blanks costing £1. So a technical difference was deliberately introduced in the manufacturing process to ensure that CDs and CD-ROMs are not identical.
Blank music CDs are coated with a chemical dye that deforms into spots when irradiated by the laser in a CD recorder. The blank disc is also embossed with a spiral groove which acts as an optical guide for the laser as it makes the recording. The groove wobbles from side to side, for use as ...

JACKSON – The Starkville Yellowjackets can hold their heads high even after state championship loss.
The Jackets came up short in the MHSAA Class 5A state championship game on Saturday night. However, to get to state finals was a huge accomplishment for a team that nobody predicted to be there.
Starkville put together a great season this year that led them to Class 5A, Region 2 and North titles.
Even though the Jackets failed to win in Jackson, the fans, parents and staff of Starkville High School is proud of what the young men and coaches have accomplished this year.
"This is a coaching staff and a group of boys who have worked really hard all year long to make us proud," said Starkville High School principal Keith Fennell. "There is no reason for any of us to not be proud tonight. They showed very good sportsmanship at the end of the ball game and we'll be back."Â
Under head coach Jamie Mitchell, the Jackets seemed to find a way to win games many believed they wouldn't during this season but he has made believers out of those who picked against him and his team.
After the season, many now believe that SHS will be returning to Jackson again next season with Mitchell at the helm.
"I'm confident that we have just taken the first step," said Fennell. "The taste of defeat is bad and it's something they are not going to enjoy, so I think it's something we came overcome in the future if we get another shot at it."
One person who believes they will get another shot next season is junior quarterback Gabe Myles, but he isn't looking to play the same team next year.
"I'm not worried about a rematch," said Myles. "Anybody that comes to Jackson next year is getting pounded."
This season has given the Jackets confidence and after a 5-6 season last year, what they have done this season is amazing and has made everybody around the program proud.
"I'm extremely proud," said Fennell. "They put together a great season. After missing out on the playoffs a year ago, to be where they are today shows tremendous improvement and tonight from the first half to the second half was tremendous improvement."
Starkville trailed early on Saturday night but fought back to take the lead early in the second half. However, the run-based offense of the Maroon Tide kept pounding the ball and caught the breaks they needed to get the win.
Myles who seems to be ready for next season to begin right away after the disappointing loss, said he feels bad that he couldn't win the state title for the seniors.
Even though the seniors didn't get to end their careers with a state championship, they were a huge part of the Jackets making it back to Jackson for the first time since 2001.
"They got here (Jackson) and it's a major accomplishment," said Fennell. "The future is bright for us, but for our seniors they carried us and they gave us a lot of leadership. We are very proud of them and wish them the best in their futures."

Housing and Residence Life > Deadlines & Dates
Fall Welcome begins with move-in! Residence hall floor or apartment area assignment will determine which day a student will move to campus. In preparation for your arrival on August, read more about the move-in process for your assigned residence hall and consider the move-in tips below.
Move-in Tips
Lofts kits help maximize floor space in your room. Each loft kit will allow the bed of one person to be elevated (72 inches from floor to top of mattress) on an additional set of bed ends that are then secured by support braces. This allows enough room below the bed for a desk and dresser to be placed between and beneath the bed.
Loft kits for Freshmen spaces will be installed upon arrival to campus. If uninstalled, the loft kit pieces must remain in your room for the duration of the academic year. Removal or damage to the loft kit pieces will result in charges to your SLU student account.
Room Guidelines
Students are encouraged to make their room more personal and homelike. However, we ask that students do not damage or permanently alter the room/living unit. If there are any questions about what can and cannot be altered in the room, ask the Housing and Residence Life staff. Any permanent damage will result in damage fees. The guidelines for decorating are as follows:

Modified Mustangs & FordsFeatured Vehicles
Modified Mustangs & Fords' 2013 Car of the Year
Picking our annual best of the best
Now in its third year, Modified Mustangs & Fords' 2013 Car of the Year contest presented by National Parts Depot was just as stacked as ever. In addition to a bevvy of great ponycars, there were also several non-Mustang models that challenged the normal Mustang hierarchy—cars like Bruce Schureman's Boss-inspired Ranchero, George Bickel Sr.'s '56 Ford Fairlane Victoria, as well as the cammer-powered and extremely well-detailed '57 Ford Ranchero of Paul Kistler. There's also Mick Fabar's crazy, diesel-powered '67 Falcon XR from down under. When it came time to voting here at MM&F headquarters, the Mustangs once again took the majority of votes, however.
The kind folks at National Parts Depot are back to reward our winners with gift certificates, and of course our parent company, Source Interlink Media, will send our finalists their own custom laminated plaque to commemorate their inclusion in Modified Mustangs & Fords Car Of The Year contest.
1969 Ford Mustang SportsRoof
Owner: Tom Izzo
Straight from the factory, the Boss 302 Mustangs qualified as modified Mustangs, and Tom Izzo's Grabber Blue reincarnation of Ford's factory racer reaches out and grabs your attention immediately. Look further into the build and you'll find updated suspension and braking, as well as the hottest crate engine out there right now under the hood. Leaving that Coyote 5.0-liter alone would not be fitting of Izzo's shop, Speed Inc., so a Roush intercooled supercharger forces air down its throat to the tune of 567 rwhp. It's a combination that offers exceptional driveability, making the overall enjoyment factor trend upward with every squeeze of the throttle.
While not over-the-top customized, Izzo's SportsRoof takes a perfect, classic package and delivers it with all of the modern upgrades one could want. We couldn't find a flaw in the package, which is why we picked it for Modified Mustangs & Fords magazine's Car Of The Year. -Photos by Dominic Damato
Ford Racing 5.0L Ti-VCT "Coyote" crate engine with Roush R2300 2.3L Supercharger
567 rwhp at 6,500 rpm, 510 lb-ft of torque, 4,800 rpm at the rear wheels
Tremec TKO600 five-speed manual (2.87 First gear) with 26-spline input shaft
Heidts 9-inch
Heidts IFS and bolt-in four-link rear suspension, including Panhard bar, billet coilover shocks

Circle Racing Wheels Magnum with Nitto NT05 tires
Original-appearing black vinyl upholstery, ACC original-style carpet, Billet Specialties steering wheel, Auto Meter LED gauges set in a Year One dashboard insert
Original-appearing Boss 302-style; body restored and painted '70 Grabber Blue by All Autobody (Elk Grove, Illinois); fiberglass hoodscoop; and Boss 302 graphics applied by Stickerdude Designs
1966 Ford Mustang Fastback
Owner: Karl Williams
Drawing from similar vintage racing design cues, Karl William's T-5R Mustang fastback picked up the second most votes in our competition. Designed and built by the pros at Pure Vision Design, William's fastback has been equipped with dozens of custom touches that contribute to its European racing theme.
We like the lightweight elements to the car, especially as wrapped in the lightweight early body style, and the Martini Racing livery is a refreshing change from the normal Shelby G.T. 350 dress. Its design and equipment is performance driven, and that's probably our favorite thing about it. -Photos by Drew Phillips
Ford "quad-cam" DOHC 292ci Indy racing engine, circa 1966
Aluminum cylinder heads with dual overhead camshafts mounted "upside down" for conventional exhaust-outlet orientation

Benefits of Svelte Power:
Appetite suppression or hunger management is a complex chemical and hormonal phenomenon. Two adipose hormones are the key: leptin and ghrelin. Simply put leptin increases satiety and ghrelin increases the sensation of hunger.
However, it is not that simple. There are complex chemical reactions that take place depending on a person's biological makeup, blood glucose levels, genetic make-up and thyroidal predisposition that all have contributing factors pertaining to when a person feels full and/ or hungry, or when an individual craves food, or craves certain types of foods.
Svelte Power is an appetite suppressant formula that contains Citrus Aurantium (bitter orange) and is known to contribute modestly to fat loss with its adrenergic qualities. It also supports proper digestive functions, provides the sensation of feeling full and eliminates cravings.

The Voice
The Voice Season 3's Michaela Paige Opens For Blake Shelton at the Strawberry Festival
Coach Blake Shelton is known for taking care of his Voice contestants long after they're eliminated and the cameras stop rolling. And his generosity hasn't stopped since the show started. On March 10, Blake played the Strawberry Festival with Season 3 contestant Michaela Paige.
Michaela was known for her wacky hairstyles and powerful voice. Sadly, she had to exit the show a little early, but Blake constantly talked about how much he "loved this little girl."
And this weekend's concert proved it.
"What a stellar night! Thank you @blakeshelton for making my dreams come true! #teamblakeforever," Michaela tweeted.
Blake's also gone on tour with former contestants Gwen Sebastian and Dia Frampton. Also in attendance at last night's concert was Season 3 runner up, Terry McDermott.
Terry came out to support his coach and teammate, but he's not doing too shabby in his own career. Terry's first post-Voice single "Pictures" hit No. 1 on the iTunes rock chart last month.
This might be one of Blake's final live performances before Season 4 of The Voice premieres on March 25. And with Blake's track record of helping out his contestants, why wouldn't you want to be on his team?!
Are you surprised Blake let Michaela open for him? Tell us below!
