(a) Importation prohibited
Except as provided in subsection (d) of this section, it shall be unlawful to import into the United States any merchandise of foreign manufacture if such merchandise, or the label, sign, print, package, wrapper, or receptacle, bears a trademark owned by a citizen of, or by a corporation or association created or organized within, the United States, and registered in the Patent and Trademark Office by a person domiciled in the United States, under the provisions of sections 81 to 109 of title 15, and if a copy of the certificate of registration of such trademark is filed with the Secretary of the Treasury, in the manner provided in section 106 of said title 15, unless written consent of the owner of such trademark is produced at the time of making entry.
(b) Seizure and forfeiture
Any such merchandise imported into the United States in violation of the provisions of this section shall be subject to seizure and forfeiture for violation of the customs laws.
(c) Injunction and damages
Any person dealing in any such merchandise may be enjoined from dealing therein within the United States or may be required to export or destroy such merchandise or to remove or obliterate such trademark and shall be liable for the same damages and profits provided for wrongful use of a trade-mark, under the provisions of sections 81 to 109 of title 15.
(d) Exemptions; publication in Federal Register; forfeitures; rules and regulations
(1) The trademark provisions of this section and section 1124 of title 15, do not apply to the importation of articles accompanying any person arriving in the United States when such articles are for his personal use and not for sale if
(A) such articles are within the limits of types and quantities determined by the Secretary pursuant to paragraph (2) of this subsection, and
(B) such person has not been granted an exemption under this subsection within thirty days immediately preceding his arrival.
(2) The Secretary shall determine and publish in the Federal Register lists of the types of articles and the quantities of each which shall be entitled to the exemption provided by this subsection. In determining such quantities of particular types of trade-marked articles, the Secretary shall give such consideration as he deems necessary to the numbers of such articles usually purchased at retail for personal use.
(3) If any article which has been exempted from the restrictions on importation of the trade-mark laws under this subsection is sold within one year after the date of importation, such article, or its value (to be recovered from the importer), is subject to forfeiture. A sale pursuant to a judicial order or in liquidation of the estate of a decedent is not subject to the provisions of this paragraph.

Any such merchandise bearing a counterfeit mark (within the meaning of section 1127 of title 15) imported into the United States in violation of the provisions of section 1124 of title 15, shall be seized and, in the absence of the written consent of the trademark owner, forfeited for violations of the customs laws. Upon seizure of such merchandise, the Secretary shall notify the owner of the trademark, and shall, after forfeiture, destroy the merchandise. Alternatively, if the merchandise is not unsafe or a hazard to health, and the Secretary has the consent of the trademark owner, the Secretary may obliterate the trademark where feasible and dispose of the goods seized—
(1) by delivery to such Federal, State, and local government agencies as in the opinion of the Secretary have a need for such merchandise,
(2) by gift to such eleemosynary institutions as in the opinion of the Secretary have a need for such merchandise, or
(3) more than 90 days after the date of forfeiture, by sale by the Customs Service at public auction under such regulations as the Secretary prescribes, except that before making any such sale the Secretary shall determine that no Federal, State, or local government agency or eleemosynary institution has established a need for such merchandise under paragraph (1) or (2).
(f) Civil penalties
(1) Any person who directs, assists financially or otherwise, or aids and abets the importation of merchandise for sale or public distribution that is seized under subsection (e) of this section shall be subject to a civil fine.
(2) For the first such seizure, the fine shall be not more than the value that the merchandise would have had if it were genuine, according to the manufacturer's suggested retail price, determined under regulations promulgated by the Secretary.
(3) For the second seizure and thereafter, the fine shall be not more than twice the value that the merchandise would have had if it were genuine, as determined under regulations promulgated by the Secretary.

Successful transaction builds Exelon's environmental leadership, making it one of the nation's largest wind generators
CHICAGO – Exelon Corporation today announced that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of John Deere Renewables, a leading operator and developer of wind power, adding 735 operating megawatts of clean, renewable energy to Exelon's generation portfolio—enough to power 160,000 to 220,000 households.
The acquisition of John Deere Renewables marks Exelon's entry into owning and operating wind projects. The 36 wind projects in eight states will be called Exelon Wind, a division of Exelon Power. Exelon Power is a unit of Exelon Generation.
"The purchase of John Deere Renewables – now Exelon Wind – is an economically sound transaction that adds value for shareholders while advancing our clean energy leadership as part of Exelon 2020," said John W. Rowe, Exelon chairman and CEO. "The addition of these wind assets increases our zero-emission generation capacity to nearly 19,000 megawatts, helping us achieve our goal of a clean, low-carbon energy supply at the lowest cost to the communities and customers we serve."
The acquisition provides incremental earnings starting in 2012 and cash flows starting in 2013 and is a key part of Exelon 2020, the company's business strategy to eliminate the equivalent of its 2001 carbon footprint by 2020. Exelon is now halfway to its goal and remains the least carbon-intensive of the large U.S. electric utilities.
Approximately 75 percent of the Exelon Wind operating portfolio is already sold under long-term power purchase arrangements. In addition, Exelon has the opportunity to pursue approximately 1,400 megawatts of new wind projects that are in various stages of development, including 230 megawatts in advanced stages of development.
The purchase price is $860 million with a provision for up to an additional $40 million upon commencement of construction on the advanced development projects.
The operational and development employees of John Deere Renewables are now employees of Exelon Wind, and their offices are in West Des Moines, Iowa.
"We welcome the employees of John Deere Renewables to the Exelon family," said Rowe. "The successful wind generation company they've built provides Exelon with a strong entry point into the wind business, adds diversity to our generation fleet, and offers more options for future growth."
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 486,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

I am working on a small project where I have a device with two network interfaces attached to the same subnet, iface1 and iface2. Some of the packets that arrive on iface1 should be forwarded to iface2 and I have written a rule using iptables. I see that the rule match (using LOG), but the packets seem to disappear after the PREROUTING-step (I have tried logging all possible combinations in both INPUT and FORWARD).
To allow each device access to the rest of the network, I have had to modify the routing table significantly (attached at the bottom) and I think maybe that the system gets confused during the ROUTING-step. It seems like the kernel does not understand that the new destination address is local and simply discards the packet, neither pinging the interface nor netcat (run from one another) works or give any reply.
If anyone have any tips, I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance,

By Keith Kuetemann
(KSDK Sports)
-- St. Louis University's men's basketball teamkick off their 2012-2013 season on Friday night with the hopes of back-to-back impressive seasons. The 2011-2012 SLU season was one of the most successful in school history and with many of the core players returning, expectations for the Billikens' 2012-2013 season are understandably lofty.
After turning in an overall record of 26-8 last year, many experts have the Billikens finishing near the top of the Atlantic-10 Conference. SLU finished in 2nd place in the A-10 last year after going 12-4 in conference games. The season climaxed with the Bills' earning the 7th NCAA Tournament berth in school history.
While many of the players that made last season so special will be returning this year, the Billikens will be without a few key pieces.
Coach Rick Majerus is taking an extended leave of absence from his head coaching job while he deals with health issues. Majerus implemented a defensive and teamwork-based mindset en route to a 95-69 combined record over 5 seasons in St. Louis. Filling in for Majerus is a man who has had success both on the court and on the sidelines.
Jim Crews will take over as interim head coach in Majerus's absence. Crews played college basketball under legendary head coach Bobby Knight at Indiana. The Hoosiers won a National Championship in Crew's senior year at the culmination of a season where the Hoosiers went 32-0; a feat that has not been repeated since.
A year after Crews graduated, he returned to Indiana to become a coaching assistant under Knight. He took a head coaching position with the Evansville Purple Aces in 1985. After 17 seasons and a winning percentage of .601 with Evansville, Crews accepted another head coaching job, this time at Army of the Patriot League.
Although he did not enjoy the same success with Army as he had with Evansville, he made enough of an impression on Majerus for him to offer Crews the assistant coaching job at SLU prior to last season. When it was discovered that Majerus would not be able to coach the team, Crews provided an easy solution at head coach.
While Crews knows that his role is to be the figurehead of this team, he also knows that it will take a complete team effort to put together another tournament run. He will rely on some of the upper-classmen that make up this roster to solidify the character that Majerus and Crews have brought to this team. "We lead by committee, one guy does not," said Crews. "When guys accomplish things, they become teachers of the game. The philosophy they pass on becomes what this franchise is and stands for."
When team captain Kwamain Mitchell went down in a preseason practice with a broken foot, the Bills needed someone to step up and replace their leader. In the early going, Mike McCall Jr. appears to be that guy.
McCall Jr. helped fill the void that Mitchell left after he was suspended for the entirety of the 2010-2011 season. He finished that season with over 10 points and 3 assists per game. The fact that McCall and Mitchell are roommates should ease McCall's transition into the leadership role as well. McCall Jr. finished last season with an average of 7 points and 2.2 assists per game and led the team to a 79-47 whipping of Rockhurst by scoring a team-high 14 points. While McCall will be asked to carry a heavier load this season, he will not shoulder the weight on his own.
Big men like Cody Ellis (10.1 points per game last season) and Rob Loe (6'11") will need to get to the rim and the free throw line with great regularity to put points on the board. Promising guard Jordain Jett and team big man John Manning (6'11") will need to continue their strong defensive play from a year ago to preserve the team's stonewall mentality put in place by Majerus and Crews.
If Crews and his players can build on the very solid foundation built by Majerus, the team that starts their season on Friday night in St. Louis could be finishing it next March in the NCAA tournament.

Ken Smith
Bassist, Luthier & Admin
About Me
- About Ken Smith
- Musical Background
- Manufacturer of Ken Smith Basses but also back part time playing playing again on Double Bass in a Local Symphony Orchestra (or 2, and other Gigs as well including a Smith Bass as needed) using one of the Basses from my personal collection; http://www.kensmithbasses.com/doublebasses
I Retired in 1988 after playing both Electric Bass and Double Bass in & around NYC for 20 years as well as some traveling in my earlier days. I did mostly studio work from 1975 and curtailed most travel. I taught about 450 Students privately on both Electric Bass and Double Bass from about 1974-1986 but retired from that as well. In 1978 I started Ken Smith Basses,Ltd. and continued to play as the Business grew. Now I'm back working the Bow in 2 local Symphony Orchestras and a few other Gigs as time allows.
- Location
- Perkasie, PA
- Additional Information
- Just ask me if you are curious..
- Your Gear
- My main Double Bass was made by Custode Marcucci, Ravenna (Italy) 1897. My 'second/back-up' bass for rehearsals or shows is an Italian style Bass by Josef Kreutzer from Brno, 1953. Both with custom made Ebony C-Extensions. For Bows I use a custom Sartory model Bow by Sue Lipkins, and a Sartory model by Peter Eibert. I have other basses and bows that I take out as well for rehearsals and shows on occasion to "test the waters".
For Electric work (which is rare for me these days) I use a Smith BSR 4GN model in Walnut (Black Tiger Specs) or a '99 Burner Deluxe 4-string that I take out when needed.

Ladder-climbing ladies (and the people who love them), we'd like to direct your attention to today's story, as it's perfectly tailored for anyone who lives in a brisk-paced, business-focused bubble! Yes, dear readers, we've dedicated the second installment of our guide to the type of mover-and-shaker who's always one cup of coffee away from the next promotion, deadline, or deal-the Working Girl.
Job-obsessed gals always take care of business, even when it requires them to neglect their own needs, so why not reward that dedication with some truly stellar holiday presents? With mini mogul Ashley Olsen as our muse, we collected an assortment of gifts that are sure to delight any fashionable Working Girl. Whether it's a killer clutch (small enough to stash inside a day bag, stylish enough to transform an office outfit into an evening ensemble) or a sleek silver earpiece (finally, a de-nerded design!), you'll no doubt find something to delight the career-driven woman!
Twenty8Twelve Sister George Scarf($250)
Any jet-setting female will cherish, embrace, and incorporate this worldly accessory into her wardrobe. In addition to having an interesting design pedigree (the line's designed by Savannah and Sienna Miller), the scarf's red-accent pattern is sure to enliven even the most ordinary office attire.
Vanessa Bruno Flutter Sleeved Wool Dress ($458)
Every Working Girl depends on a closet full of clothing that can seamlessly take her from the cubicle to a nightclub. We think this versatile frock is in perfect keeping with such wardrobe requirements (though admittedly, it's more appropriate for someone in creative industry). Transform the sophisticated frock from a workplace-appropriate garment into a date-worthy outfit with a few of-the-moment accessories and some striking heels!
Jawbone Earpiece ($129)
Now that the hands-free driving laws are in effect for many states, this sleek device is more relevant than ever before. An indispensable asset for multitasking WGs, the Jawbone eliminates ten times more background noise than general headsets. It's available five different colors, but we think the simple silver style is the superior choice.
Jeffrey Campbell Pape Heels ($162)
One of the privileges (and guilty pleasures) of being a WG is that every day is an excuse to wear dangerously high heels. These classic black platforms are very reminiscent of Ashley Olsen's iconic YSL Tribute Two Pumps, but they come at a fraction of the price.
Starbucks Gold Membership ($25)
It's more than likely that the career-driven lady in your life depends on caffeine (specifically, coffee) to get through the day. Why not make the nine-to-five grind a little easier and hook her up with a Starbucks Gold Card? The card gives her yearlong memberships benefits, like getting 10% off drinks, and just might make mornings a bit brighter.
Alexander Wang Clutch ($650)
Our Alexander Wang obsession is no secret, so it's not surprising that we included his fantastic leather clutch in our gift guide. The cobalt blue hue will be a refreshing change of color for the WG (who undoubtedly owns tons of black and brown bags but nothing bold) and the understated design is sure to work with lots of outfits. If this option doesn't quite fit your holiday spending plan, look into Linea Pelle's Dylan Folding Clutch ($225) as a fantastic and budget-friendly alternative.
Freelook Watch($270)
A busy girl needs to stay on top of her jam-packed schedule and this pretty timepiece is an excellent way to make sure that happens. The rose gold metal will impart an unexpectedly cool edge to any power suit while the classic style will please a range of tastes.-Jessica Amento

This is a picture of Boring Scott Cowley, holding up a bottle of Naked juice for some reason. There isn't any vodka in that bottle of Naked juice, because Scott graduated from BYU. I know what you're thinking: "Does drinking Naked juice without vodka make you ineligible for a Pell Grant?" Yes, it does. Don't ask me how I know this. Scott currently works for a Utah company called Zagg, which makes condoms for iPhones and iPads. No, the condoms are not ribbed for your iPhone's pleasure. I learned the hard way.
So why bring up Boring Scott Cowley in the first place?
I'll wait, while your head spins all the way around, Exorcist-style. Let me know when you're done.
If you're anything like me, you are very confused by this news. (You're probably also drunk, because you've been drinking Naked juice all morning.) How would a boring, sober Mormon be an effective intern for Charlie Sheen? How would that even work? That's like Adolf Hitler applying for an internship with the Anti-Defamation League. (And yes, I am aware that Hitler is already dead. I looked it up on Wikipedia.)
The City Weekly ("We're better than you!" ™) recently interviewed Boring Scott Cowley, where he stated: "I suspect that Charlie has some very intelligent people helping him stay in the spotlight." Does Boring Scott Cowley even know who Charlie Sheen is?! If Charlie had intelligent people around him, he would be in a hospital and/or jail.
Boring Scott Cowley then continued with the following #winning gem:
"I think Utah is the place for Charlie. I think he would love the planetarium and the Salt Lake City nightlife. I'd definitely give him a tour of Temple Square—that would be a major win."
Boring Scott Cowley wants to take Charlie "The Walgreens of Illegal Drugs" Sheen on a tour of Temple Square. Remember that episode of The Odd Couple where Felix and Oscar got into a huge argument over their differences, and then Felix ended up brutally stabbing Oscar in the throat?
Anyway, I hope Boring Scott Cowley totally gets the internship.

BATH COUNTY, Va. (WUSA9) -- Virginia State Police are investigating a possible attempted murder/suicide after Virginia senator Creigh Deeds was stabbed at his home in Bath Countyon Tuesday morning.
Police say they believe that the senator's 24-year-old son stabbed his father multiple times and then shot himself.
According to state police during a press conference Tuesday afternoon, police received a 911 call at 7:25 a.m. for a home on Vineyard Drive in the Millboro community of Bath County. Police say after the stabbing, Sen. Deeds left the scene on foot and walked down the hill of his property to Route 42.His cousin was driving along Route 42,saw the senator and picked him up. They then drove to the cousin'shome where the 911 call was placed to the sheriff's office.
Deputies arrived to find Deeds with multiple stab wounds to the head andupper torso.He was taken by ambulance to a relative's farm and then flown to the University of Virginia Medical Centerin Charlottesville for treatment.
Deeds' son Gus, age 24,was foundwith a single gunshot wound inside the home, say police.Hedied at the scene.
Gus Deeds took a semester off from The College of William and Mary to help his father's unsuccessful 2009 campaign for governor. He returned to William and Mary, but withdrew last month.The College said the younger Deeds was "a music major with a strong academic record" who had enrolled in 2007, but was not a student at the time of his death.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that Gus underwent an emergency mental health evaluation yesterday. But he was released due to a lack of available beds in psychiatric facilities across western Virginia.But this evening, a spokesman for Western State Hospital in Staunton, Virginia said it had openings.
"We have no waiting list, and we did not get a call," said John Beghtol of Western State Hospital.
A shocking 2012 Virginia Inspector General's report reveals that in a 90-day period, 72 people who should have been admitted were not due to a lack of beds. According to the report, all met the criteria for a TDO-a temporary detention order-indicating there was a "substantial likelihood...in the near future... that a person is at risk for serious harm to himself or others... and in need of hospitalization or treatment."
Police are still investigating, trying to determine the sequence of events. At a press conference Tuesday afternoon, police said they are looking at the incident as a possible attempted murder-suicide in which Gus stabbed his father and then shot himself.
Rockbridge County Community Services Board in Lexington, Virginia evaluated Gus on Monday. They are also trying to determine the motive for the assault, and said that they are not looking for any suspects.
According to police, Deeds has spoken to police investigators while at the hospital. Police and Deeds' family remain at the hospital at this hour.
Deeds was once a candidate for Virginia governor. He ran against Bob McDonnell in 2009.
Gov. McDonnell issued the following statement about the assault on Deeds on Tuesday:
"In this tough and sad time, our thoughts and prayers are with the Deeds family. The news from this morning is utterly heartbreaking. Creigh Deeds is an exceptional and committed public servant who has always done what he believes is best for Virginia and who gives his all to public service. He cares deeply about Virginia, and the people of Virginia care deeply for him. I urge all Virginians today to join me in praying for a full and complete recovery for Creigh and for many more years of his public service to the Commonwealth. At this moment, our state unites in prayer for Creigh Deeds and his family."
Virginia Governor-elect Terry McAuliffe also releaseda statement:
"Dorothy and I are praying for Senator Creigh Deeds and his family in the wake of this awful tragedy. This is a truly sad day for Virginia and for the many people who know Creigh as the fine public servant and friend he is. We join people across the Commonwealth and country in wishing him a full recovery."
Sen. Mark Warner tweeted about the news on Tuesday: "Stunning news from Bath County. I am praying for @CreighDeeds and his family at this very, very difficult time."
Virginia House of Delegates Speaker William J. Howell also released a statement: "Cessie and I would like to extend our sincerest thoughts and prayers to Senator Creigh Deeds and his family. This is a tragic incident and something no one could ever imagine. We are thinking and praying for Creigh at this time."
William & Mary issued the following statement regarding Austin "Gus" Deeds, who attended the school:
William & Mary is very saddened to hear this tragic news. Gus Deeds was a member of the William & Mary community. He had been enrolled as a student at William & Mary since 2007, though not continuously. He withdrew from the College last month and was not currently enrolled at the time of his death. Our hearts go out to the entire Deeds family.

General Information
Basic Information - General information about mercury, including what it is, where it comes from, how it is used, and how it moves through the environment.
Most batteries made in the U.S. do not contain added mercury. The two exceptions are mercuric oxide batteries and button cell batteries. Mercuric oxide batteries are produced for specialized use in military and medical equipment where a stable current and long service life is essential. Button cell batteries are miniature batteries in the shape of a coin or button that are used to provide power for a large variety of small portable electronic devices.
The use and disposal of mercury-added button cells are unregulated at the federal level. They do not have to be labeled; it is legal to dispose of them in the household trash; and they rarely are collected for recycling in most U.S. jurisdictions. Some states are now considering whether the disposal of button cell batteries should be regulated or whether recycling should be encouraged. Because button batteries currently are not widely targeted for recycling, almost all of this mercury presumably ends up in the municipal solid waste stream where it is either incinerated or landfilled.For a more information on batteries, see EPA's Web page on Consumer and Commercial Products.
Human Exposure
Mercury exists in various forms, and people are exposed to each in different ways.
Methylmercury Exposure - The most common way that people in the U.S. are exposed to mercury is by eating fish and shellfish that contain methylmercury.
Elemental Mercury Exposure - A less common source of exposure is when liquid elemental mercury is spilled or a device or product containing elemental mercury breaks, thus allowing the mercury to evaporate and become an invisible, odorless toxic vapor.
Health Effects
Mercury exists in three chemical forms: methlymercury, elemental mercury, and other mercury compounds. Each chemical form of mercury has its own specific effects on human health.
Whether an exposure to the various forms of mercury will harm a person's health depends on a number of factors: the dose; the age of the person exposed (the fetus and young children are most susceptible); the duration of exposure; the route of exposure -- inhalation, ingestion, dermal contact, etc.; and the health of the person exposed.Almost all people have at least trace amounts of methylmercury in their tissues, reflecting methylmercury's widespread presence in the environment and people's exposure through the consumption of fish and shellfish.
Fish Consumption
Fish and shellfish are an important part of a healthy diet. Fish and shellfish contain high-quality protein and other essential nutrients, are low in saturated fat, and contain omega-3 fatty acids. A well-balanced diet that includes a variety of fish and shellfish can contribute to heart health and children's proper growth and development.
However, nearly all fish and shellfish contain traces of methylmercury. For most people, the risk from exposure to methylmercury by eating fish and shellfish is not a health concern. Yet some fish and shellfish contain higher levels of mercury that may harm an unborn baby or young child's developing nervous system. The risks from methlymercury in fish and shellfish depend on the amount of fish and shellfish eaten and the levels of methylmercury in the fish. Federal, state and local governments issue fish advisories when the fish are unsafe to eat.
Fish Consumption Advice - This page provides links to extensive information on fish advisories, including advisories issued by state and local governments and by the EPA and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Fish Kids - This Web site uses interactive stories and games to teach kids ages 8-12 about contaminants in fish and fish advisories.
Mercury-Containing Products
Elemental mercury has properties that have led to its use in many different products and industrial sectors. While some manufacturers have reduced or eliminated their use of mercury in products, there are still many consumer items in the marketplace that contain mercury. EPA encourages individuals, organizations and businesses to use non-mercury alternatives and to recycle used mercury-containing products whenever possible.
Consumer and Commercial Products - This Web page provides more extensive information on mercury-containing products, plus links to related information from other federal agencies, state environmental agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
Interstate Mercury Education & Reduction Clearinghouse (IMERC) Mercury-Added Products Database - The IMERC database is managed by the Northeast Waste Management Officials' Association (NEWMOA). It presents information on: (1) the amount and purpose of mercury in specific products that are sold in eight IMERC-member states; (2) the total amount of mercury in these products sold nationally in a given year; and (3) the manufacturers of these products. The information is submitted to IMERC by or on behalf of product manufacturers in compliance with laws in the eight states of Connecticut, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Notification requirements have been in effect for products manufactured or distributed in these states beginning in January 2001. The information is updated every three years.
Thimerosal in Vaccines
Some consumers are concerned about the use of thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative, in vaccines. Since 2001, with the exception of some influenza (flu) vaccines, thimerosal is not used as a preservative in routinely recommended childhood vaccines.
To learn more about this use of thimerosal, please see information from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on medicines that contain mercury and thimerosal in vaccines, and information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on thimerosal in vaccines.
Recycling and Disposal
EPA encourages the recycling of mercury-containing products rather than disposing of them in regular household trash. Recycling of mercury-containing products is one of the best ways to help prevent mercury releases to the environment by keeping these products out of landfills and incinerators.
Many states and local agencies have developed collection/exchange programs for mercury-containing devices, such as thermometers, manometers, and thermostats, and recycling programs for fluorescent light bulbs. Some counties and cities also have household hazardous waste collection programs. For information about these programs, contact your local collection program to find out whether you can drop your old thermometers off any time or whether you should wait for the next collection effort in your area. You can also use earth911.com to find collection programs in your area -- just type in "thermometer" or "mercury" and your zip code to get a list of programs that accept mercury-containing thermometers.
Spills and Cleanup
Mercury is used in a variety of consumer products such as thermometers and fluorescent bulbs. If you accidentally break a mercury-containing product during use, or improperly dispose of such products, they will release mercury vapors that are harmful to human and ecological health.

YIELD: Makes 2
- One 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut in half lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Dash of Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
- 2 slices raisin pumpernickel bread
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, homemade or store-bought
- 2 tablespoons Maytag Blue cheese
- 8 watercress sprigs
1. Combine the chicken, olive oil, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes so the chicken can marinate.
2. Toast the pecans in a small skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, roast the pecans in a preheated 300°F oven for 15 minutes, or until they smell toasted. Transfer the pecans to a plate and set aside to cool.
3. Grill the chicken under the broiler or on an outdoor grill for 10 to 12 minutes, or until thoroughly cooked, turning once. Whether broiling or grilling, for the best flavor make sure the heat is high so you will get a nice caramelized brown color on the chicken. Allow the chicken to rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the juices to settle in the meat. Using a very sharp knife, slice the chicken as thinly as possible on a bias.
4. Spread each slice of bread evenly with the mayonnaise. Divide the chicken slices between the 2 slices of bread. Sprinkle with bits of the blue cheese and then sprinkle on the toasted pecans.
5. With a sharp knife, quarter each sandwich. Garnish each quarter with a sprig of watercress and serve.

A quick update on the injury front for Sunday's game vs. New York...
MLSsoccer.com's Franco Panizio reports that forward Fabian Espindola, who has been listed as questionable all week with a hamstring strain, will not be traveling to Chicago for Sunday's game.
Espindola also missed Red Bull's 2-1 win over Philadelphia last week.
Panizio also reports that frontline partner Thierry Henry will be part of the 18, though he seems likely to come off the bench for the second-straight week.
Also listed as questionable in recovery from an MCL strain, the Frenchman played 31 minutes and scored the game-winner in his team's victory over the Union.
On the Fire front, the latest Athletico Injury Report released Friday saw Michael Videira and Steven Kinney removed from the list, though both have been out of action for multiple weeks.
The Fire will be thin in midfield if questionable players Dilly Duka and Patrick Nyarko (hamstring tightness) and Alex (calf contusion) are unable to go on Sunday.
Two games for the price of one? Why not?
Following Sunday's first team match between the Fire and Red Bulls, the club is inviting supporters to stick around to catch the an MLS Reserve League match between the two sides.
Some things to know if you stay at Toyota Park following the first game:
- The reserve game begins 30 minutes after the end of first team game.
- Stadium re-entry will not be allowed.
- Fans that stay will be asked to move to the east side of the Toyota Park stands.
- The Stadium Club, Second Star Club and suites will close at normal times following the first game.
- As usual, alcohol sales will end at the 75th minute of the first game. There will be no sale of alcohol during the reserve match.
- Concessions behind Section 126 will remain open for the reserve game.
Don't have your tickets for Sunday? Get them here.
This day 15 years ago the Chicago Fire played their first-ever competitive match defeating the Miami Fusion 2-0 at Lockhart Stadium in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
Roman Kosecki scored the first goal in Fire history in the 76th minute while the team's first round draft pick Ritchie Kotschau opened his professional account in the 87th minute.
See highlights of the match below:
Fire head coach Frank Klopas did his first media round-up of the week on Wednesday. Some choice quotes from this afternoon's session:
On Paolo Tornaghi's experience stepping in for Sean Johnson last season
"He basically came in at that point as a younger third keeper but he won that second position in preseason and the games that he played. We had a veteran guy as our number two, knowing that Sean had Olympic qualifying games, you saw that he was the one that started in the first game in Montreal.
"We have all the confidence in him, he's played well and we know we're going in a situation with World Cup qualifying and Sean being with the national team, its great for him but we have all the confidence in Paolo in moments like this to step in and do a good job because he's very good 'keeper."
On Bakary Soumare's comments regarding his desire for a trade to the Fire
"With the salary cap and what teams want for players, it's not always so easy. I know Baky very well, he spent a long time here and I saw that. It's great when you treat guys in the right way, they feel this is always their team. There's always a lot of implications but you look into every situation for sure."
On the team's outlook to bring in a striker before the summer transfer window
"We're looking at everything. Any opportunity to see if we improve the team we're going to look at it. You might feel there will be need somewhere, players might become available but the needs might be something different. We're looking at all that but also knowing that it's early in the season."
On the personality of Chivas USA coach Jose Luis Sanchez Sola
"I don't know the guy. It seems like he has the team on the right track and they're working hard and he's done a good job so far. Other than that, I don't know. He's a competitive guy just like I am."
If It seems like its Goalkeeper Week here on Chicago-Fire.com, well maybe it is... Sean Johnson is with the U.S. Men's National Team, meaning Paolo Tornaghi is the starter on Sunday, making way for Alec Kann to officially sign with the club on Tuesday in order to back him up.
I got a lot of quotes from goalkeepers (and their coach) the past few days... It'd be a shame if they went to waste so I've included some of the more interesting ones here...
Chicago FIre goalkeeping coach Aron Hyde
On having two returning goalkeepers for the first time since 2009
"Its never easy in MLS with the salary cap to maintain players year-to-year. In previous years we've looked to experienced guys to guide Sean along in his development and this year we didn't need that. We've got a very young goalkeeping group – its probably the youngest in the league. Sean's not a young goalkeeper anymore –he's at nearly 80 games in his career. We don't have any issues there anymore. Obviously he can get a little more continuity in the group and Paolo is a good goalkeeper and is more than capable of stepping in. He didn't let the side down last year and we're positive and optimistic he'll do the same on Sunday."
On Alec Kann's attitude as the third goalkeeper
"He's coming in willing to learn. He has a good attitude, he works hard – you can't fault him for anything there. He's a good guy to work with. He's been good with the other two and you hope he realizes he's here to push and he wants to play as well. He has to be ready."
Chicago Fire goalkeeper Paolo Tornaghi
On communicating with a changing backline
"Its important when everyone steps on the field to have a positive performance. I thought our defensive line was very good on Saturday. We work together every day so to me it doesn't matter who the first 11 are, all the players train and stay focused to be ready for Sunday."
So if you're like me, you were watching Sunday's SuperClasico between LA and Chivas to get a better understanding of the Fire's upcoming opponents.
Around the 40th minute, you were sort of shocked to see the Goats Joaquin Velazquez sent off by referee Ricardo Salazar for this play…
If anything, Colin Clark could have received a card on the play but nonetheless, Chivas was forced to play the remaining 50 minutes a man down and still found away to earn a 1-1 draw against the reigning MLS Cup champs.
Flash forward to today and an Independent Review panel has rightly rescinded the red card and the one-game suspension that came along with it for this Sunday's match vs. the Fire.
This is the second time in MLS history that a red card has been rescinded. The New England Revolution's Fernando Cardenas saw his red card taken away after he was sent off in a 2-1 loss to Seattle last May.
What do you think? Is it good that the league is willing to rescind red cards when obvious mistakes are being made? Chime in below.
Twitter is great for many reasons. Today's its awesome because we got an update on how the team's star center back is doing on his hamstring rehab in Germany...
Working on my comeback. Getting better. Thanks to Thomas and #DaVinciPhysioMed Getting back to #Chicago on 26th twitter.com/arnefriedrich/…

See you next Tuesday, Arne!

A nice reminder of June 29, 2012.
The Goal:
The Celebration:
The Despair:
Hoping this match from July 4, 2001 in Kansas City is a good omen for the weekend. Peter Vermes should remember the game well, he played all 90 minutes in defense.
Fast forward to 57 seconds in...

Zack Wheeler placed on disabled list
Zack Wheeler will be placed on the 7-Day Disabled List with a right middle fingernail avulsion, the team announced.
The move is retroactive to May 2.
Wheeler is 1-2 with a 1.75 ERA (five earned runs/25.2 innings) in five starts with Double-A Binghamton so far this season.
Toby Hyde: Wikipedia tells us that "an avulsion is an injury in which a body structure is forcibly detached. It most commonly refers to a surface trauma where all layers of the skin have been torn away, exposing the underlying structures (e.g. subcutaneous tissue, muscle, tendons). This is similar to an abrasion but more severe, … the term comes from the Latin word avellere, "to tear off." This is the second time that a problem with this fingernail has sent Wheeler to the disabled list. … In 2010 Wheeler headed to the disabled list after 26.2 innings. In 2012, Wheeler is heading to the disabled list after 25.2 innings. Go figure. He did not miss a start in 2011 when he threw 115 innings combined between the Mets and Giants systems.

POTSDAM North country high school students used science to separate fact from fiction at Clarkson Universitys Mythlimpics, a science camp devoted to exploring the truth behind common conceptions.
Friday was Spy Day, with activities designed to determine the validity of common action-movie tropes.
Weve all seen it in a movie, Clarkson environmental engineering professor Shane W. Rogers told the students, who had gathered at a firing range to test various gun myths.
Theres a gunfight going on and somebody ducks behind a car door to return fire. Is that a good idea or a bad idea?
Students cut human-shaped targets out of foam that were set up downrange, behind a discarded car door, which then was blasted with two rifles and a shotgun by an Army ROTC volunteer.
It blocked some of the impact, but not enough to keep the intrepid foam action-movie hero from taking a few bullets.
Other Spy Day myths tested included whether it is possible to use liquid nitrogen to make a lock cold enough to shatter (it is) and whether it is possible to fool a lie detector (not easily).
Students slept at Clarkson for the four-day camp. They arrived Wednesday, and will return home today.
On Thursday, the students tested various environmental myths and explored the various arguments about the causes of global warming. Today will be devoted to various food-related myths.
I thought it was pretty cool. Theres a lot of different myths that were trying to bust, said Norwood-Norfolk Central School junior Leah P. Livernois.
The program was open only to high-achieving students, who had to apply to attend the camp. Each of the 16 students will receive a $1,000-a-year scholarship for four years, sponsored by Alcoa, if he or she chooses to attend Clarkson University.
We think what theyre learning is how to solve open-ended questions, said Michelle Crimi, Clarkson environmental engineering professor.
High-school students are used to classwork that leads to a definite answer, Ms. Crimi said. By applying themselves to busting myths, they learn to deal with the uncertainty that is such a large part of life outside of school.
Theres not always one best answer, the answer you can circle at the end of your homework assignment, Ms. Crimi said.
The Mythlimpics were not without an element of competition. Throughout the weeks activities, the 16 students were divided into five teams. They are being judged on their adherence to the Four Cs:: collaboration, creativity, communication and critical thinking.
The students on the winning team would see their scholarships increased from $1,000 a year to $5,000 a year for four years.
The competition drove some, but most were just enjoying the chance to see some myth-busting in action.
It just seemed fun. Its the Mythlimpics. Its figuring out problems, Potsdam High School junior Trevor T. OBrien said. Its been a great time.

Fall Handprint Tree Craft For Kids
Kidoodles: Handprint Fall Tree Craft
Like us on Facebook
Keep reading for the colorful directions.
What You'll Need:
- White construction paper
- Brown, red, yellow, and orange tempera paint
- Large paintbrush
- Cotton swabs
- Paper towel
- This step is seriously ticklish, which can result in a bit of a mess, so have your child wear a smock and have wet wipes close at hand. Pick one of your tot's hands for using to create the trunk and branches of the tree. Use a large paintbrush to gently coat her hand and arm, up to her elbow, with brown tempera paint.
- Place the white construction paper vertically in front of your child, encourage her to spread her fingers apart, and then press her hand and arm onto the paper, pressing each finger gently as well as the length of her arm.
- Lift your tot's arm to reveal the trunk and branches of the tree. Allow to dry before beginning the next step.
- Fold a sheet of paper towel in half and then squeeze a teaspoon of red, yellow, and orange paint. Offer the paint to your tot along with a few cotton swabs. Now your child can dip the tip of a cotton swab in one of the colors of paint and then create lots of dots all around the tree, just like Fall leaves.
- Encourage your child to continue experimenting with making dots and using different colors of paint, until the handprint tree is full of vibrant autumnal leaves. Add a few dots of color at the bottom of the paper to finish the craft.

The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy (Girlfriends' Guides)by Vicki Iovine
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Your girlfriends, of course — at least, the ones who've been through the exhilaration and exhaustion, the agony and ecstasy of pregnancy. Four-time delivery room veteran Vicki lovine talks to you the way that only a best friend can-in the book that will go the whole nine months for every mother-to-be. Here is straight talk about those little things that are too strange or embarrassing to ask anyone about, practical tips and hilarious takes on everything pregnant. From learning you're expecting ("Oh my god, how do I get out of this?") to the day your newborn arrives ("You mean I have to take the baby home with me?"), she gives you the lowdown on:
"For first-time mothers-to-be, this candid, funny and very reassuring guide to pregnancy is just what the doctor ordered — or would if he/she knew about it....Without stepping on any medical toes, and in language that is neither technical nor cutesy, she tackles morning sickness, swollen breasts, exercises, stretch marks, sex during and after pregnancy, delivery and just about everything else, from maternity clothing to bladder behavior. Iovine anticipates every conceivable question, and her responses are warm, wise and witty." Publishers Weekly
"Leaving the medical domain to the medical professionals, Iovine focuses on the practical, social, emotional, and physiological aspects of pregnancy....Iovine and her gaggle of Girlfriends are ready with reassuring and frequently irreverent advice." Newsweek
"With great humor and frankness, Iovine addresses the topics most women talk about only with their best friends." USA Today
About the Author
"A day late and a night's sleep short" is the motto of writer, columnist, wife and mother (not in that order, of course!), Vicki Iovine. Vicki began her writing career after the birth of her fourth child (in six years) with the publication of The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy. This book struck a chord among women who found maternity an altered state, and Vicki soon became a regular contributor on such shows as Today, Oprah and The View.
She kept in lockstep with the reproductive years of her readers and published The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy Daily Diary; The Girlfriends' Guide to Surviving the First Year of Motherhood; and The Girlfriends' Guide to Toddlers. Vicki is pecking away at her keyboard to finish her fifth book, which deals with parents of school-age kids, for release in fall 2000.
Always armed with an opinion and lots of experience, Vicki is currently the "new mommy" advice columnist for Child magazine in a monthly feature called "Girlfriend to Girlfriend." And with fifteen years of marriage under her belt, she regularly contributes articles to Redbook as the "Marriage Advisor" on the mysteries of the man/woman thing. Most recently, Vicki became the family advice columnist in the Sunday Los Angeles Times.
Far more years ago than she cares to calculate, Vicki graduated summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa in Journalism from the University of California, Berkeley. She went on to earn her J.D. at Hastings College of the Law and is a member of the California Bar Association. Vicki was also a Rotary International Scholar and attended graduate school in England at Cambridge University where she earned an LL.B. in International Law. She took some time off during these legal studies to pose for a Playboy centerfold, when she was selected Miss September 19 — (you guess).
Any spare moments she can find are devoted to her role as a Director of Special Olympics International, the athletic program founded by Eunice Kennedy Shriver for people with mental retardation. Along with her husband, Jimmy Iovine, and Bobby Shriver, Vicki produced two "Very Special Christmas" records of original and traditional holiday songs performed by the biggest rock, rap and pop acts of the time. Proceeds from those records have exceeded $60 million, every dollar of which has gone into the international program.
Vicki divides her time between her car and her home in Los Angeles. The kids are now ages five, seven, nine and eleven. The husband isn't telling.
Look for her to introduce the Girlfriends' Guide on the internet later this year.
