Cleaning Up Spills
What Never to Do After a Mercury Spill
- Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean up mercury. The vacuum will put mercury into the air and increase exposure.
- Never use a broom to clean up mercury. It will break the mercury into smaller droplets and spread them.
- Never pour mercury down a drain. It may lodge in the plumbing and cause future problems during plumbing repairs. If discharged, it can cause pollution of the septic tank or sewage treatment plant.
- Never wash clothing or other items that have come in direct contact with mercury in a washing machine, because mercury may contaminate the machine and/or pollute sewage. Clothing that has come into direct contact with mercury should be discarded. By "direct contact," we mean that mercury was (or has been) spilled directly on the clothing, for example, if you break a mercury thermometer and some of elemental mercury beads came in contact with your clothing.
- Never walk around if your shoes might be contaminated with mercury. Contaminated clothing can also spread mercury around.
What to Do if a Mercury Thermometer Breaks
Determining whether your non-digital fever thermometer has mercury in it
Newer non-digital fever thermometers often use:
- alcohol or
- a non-toxic compound that looks similar to mercury.
- Is the liquid in the thermometer red? Then it is most likely alcohol.
- Is it silver? Then it may be mercury or possibly a non-mercury substance.
NOTE: If there is a paper calibration strip inside of the thermometer that includes the words "mercury free", then the liquid in the thermometer is not mercury. If you do NOT see the words "mercury free, " assume that the liquid is mercury.
U.S. EPA recommends that consumers use mercury-free thermometers, but not does not endorse, recommend, certify, authorize or approve of any specific brand of mercury-free thermometer.
Prepping for Cleanup
NOTE: these instructions also apply to spills from other sources, if the amount spilled is less than or similar to the amount in a thermometer (see specific information about how to clean up broken fluorescent bulbs)
- Have everyone else leave the area; don't let anyone walk through the mercury on their way out. Make sure all pets are removed from the area. Open all windows and doors to the outside; shut all doors to other parts of the house.
- DO NOT allow children to help you clean up the spill.
- Mercury can be cleaned up easily from the following surfaces: wood, linoleum, tile and any similarly smooth surfaces.
- If a spill occurs on carpet, curtains, upholstery or other absorbent surfaces, these contaminated items should be thrown away in accordance with the disposal means outlined below. Only cut and remove the affected portion of the contaminated carpet for disposal.
Items needed to clean up a small mercury spill
1. 4-5 ziplock-type bags
2. trash bags (2 to 6 mils thick)
3. rubber, nitrile or latex gloves
4. paper towels
5. cardboard or squeegee
6. eyedropper
7. duct tape, or shaving cream and small paint brush
8. flashlight
9. powdered sulfur (optional)
Cleanup Instructions
Put on rubber, nitrile or latex gloves.
If there are any broken pieces of glass or sharp objects, pick them up with care. Place all broken objects on a paper towel. Fold the paper towel and place in a zip lock bag. Secure the bag and label it as directed by your local health or fire department.
Locate visible mercury beads. Use a squeegee or cardboard to gather mercury beads. Use slow sweeping motions to keep mercury from becoming uncontrollable. Take a flashlight, hold it at a low angle close to the floor in a darkened room and look for additional glistening beads of mercury that may be sticking to the surface or in small cracked areas of the surface. Note: Mercury can move surprising distances on hard-flat surfaces, so be sure to inspect the entire room when "searching."
Use the eyedropper to collect or draw up the mercury beads. Slowly and carefully squeeze mercury onto a damp paper towel. Place the paper towel in a zip lock bag and secure. Make sure to label the bag as directed by your local health or fire department.
After you remove larger beads, put shaving cream on top of small paint brush and gently "dot" the affected area to pick up smaller hard-to-see beads. Alternatively, use sticky tape, such as duct tape, to pick up any remaining small glass fragments. Place the paint brush or duct tape in a zip lock bag and secure. Make sure to label the bag as directed by your local health or fire department.
OPTIONAL STEP: It is OPTIONAL to use commercially available powdered sulfur to absorb the beads that are too small to see. The sulfur does two things: (1) it makes the mercury easier to see since there may be a color change from yellow to brown and (2) it binds the mercury so that it can be easily removed and suppresses the vapor of any missing mercury. Where to get commercialized sulfur? It may be supplied as mercury vapor absorbent in mercury spill kits, which can be purchased from laboratory, chemical supply and hazardous materials response supply manufacturers.
Note: Powdered sulfur may stain fabrics a dark color. When using powdered sulfur, do not breathe in the powder as it can be moderately toxic. Additionally, users should read and understand product information before use.
If you choose not to use this option, you may want to request the services of a contractor who has monitoring equipment to screen for mercury vapors. Consult your local environmental or health agency to inquire about contractors in your area. Place all materials used with the cleanup, including gloves, in a trash bag. Place all mercury beads and objects into the trash bag. Secure trash bag and label it as directed by your local health or fire department.
Contact your local health department, municipal waste authority or your local fire department for proper disposal in accordance with local, state and federal laws.
Remember to keep the area well ventilated to the outside (i.e., windows open and fans in exterior windows running) for at least 24 hours after your successful cleanup. Continue to keep pets and children out of cleanup area. If sickness occurs, seek medical attention immediately. View information on health effects related to exposures to vapors from metallic mercury. For additional information on health effects, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) provides a Mercury Fact Sheet that also presents information on health effects related to exposures to vapors from metallic mercury.
If you have further questions, or if there are young children or pregnant women in the house at the time of the thermometer breakage, please call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
Spills of More than the Amount in a Thermometer, but Less Than or Similar to Two Tablespoons (One Pound)
Cleanup Instructions
1. Have everyone else leave the area; don't let anyone walk through the mercury on their way out.
2. Open all windows and doors to the outside.
3. Turn down the temperature.
4. Shut all doors to other parts of the house, and leave the area.
Do not vacuum. Call your local health department as soon as possible. If it is after-hours, please call your local fire department.
Spills of One Pound or More (i.e., if it Looks like Two Tablespoons or More)
Any time one pound or more of mercury is released to the environment, it is mandatory to call the National Response Center (NRC). The NRC hotline operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call (800) 424-8802. Note that because mercury is heavy, only two tablespoons of mercury weigh about one pound.
Storing, Transporting and Disposing of Mercury
What to Do if You Have Mercury in Your Home
Many people have containers of elemental mercury in their homes left over from science projects or other sources. If you have elemental mercury in your home, you need to exercise extreme caution with it and package it to prevent any leaks or spills. See the next two sections of this page to find how to package, transport and dispose of mercury.
Packaging Mercury for Storage and Transportation
- All mercury-containing products or containers of mercury should be placed inside a larger container with a tight fitting lid.
- Kitty litter or oil-absorbent matter should be placed around the product to protect it from breaking or sudden shocks.
- Clearly label storage container as "Mercury - DO NOT OPEN."
- If you must wait for a hazardous waste collection day, store products safely in their original containers with the labels intact, and keep them out of reach of children and pets.
- Transport container to a household hazardous collection center in a cardboard box. Secure them so that they do not tip over. This will minimize shifting or sliding during sudden stops or turns.
- Transport containers in the back of a pick-up truck or in a car trunk. If you must transport in the passenger compartment, make sure there is adequate ventilation.
Recycling and Disposal Options
Many states and local agencies have developed collection/exchange programs for mercury-containing devices such as thermometers, manometers, and thermostats. Some counties and cities also have household hazardous waste collection programs. For information about these programs, contact your local officials to find out when and where a collection will be held in your area. Earth911 also provides information about local collection programs. For information on recycling compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) and other mercury-containing bulbs, see Recycling and Disposal After a CFL Burns Out.
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) recycling and disposal requirements that apply to business and industry. Under RCRA, some widely generated hazardous wastes, including mercury-containing wastes like certain spent batteries, thermostats, barometers, manometers, temperature and pressure gauges, certain switches and light bulbs, are designated as "universal wastes". Businesses and industries that qualify as universal waste handlers must follow specific requirements for storing, transporting and disposing of these wastes. Households are exempt from these regulations. Find more information about universal wastes and the RCRA regulations that apply to them.
Note that some states and local jurisdictions have elected to pass regulations that are more stringent than the federal hazardous waste regulations. Several states and municipalities do not recognize the exemption for households; others regulate all fluorescent bulbs as hazardous, regardless of their mercury content. For example, Vermont bans all mercury-containing waste from landfills, including mercury-containing waste generated by households. For more information specific to your state, visit Earth911.com to contact your local waste collection agency, which can tell you if such requirement exists in your state or locality.
Hazardous Waste Site Cleanup
Cleaning Up Superfund and Other Hazardous Waste Sites Where Mercury is Present
At site cleanups of active facilities or abandoned hazardous waste sites, mercury presents significant environmental challenges because it is difficult to treat, exists in many different forms, is volatile, and can be difficult to analyze. Some mercury contamination sites are also contaminated with oils, radioactive materials and organic compounds that present technical challenges.
Cleaning up mercury contamination at active facilities or at abandoned hazardous waste sites and preparing the land for redevelopment or redeployment happens in a variety of EPA programs. EPA is improving the coordination, speed, and effectiveness of cleanups at the nation's contaminated sites through the One Cleanup Program. This Program is EPA's vision for how different cleanup programs at all levels of government can work together to meet that goal — and ensure that resources, activities, and results are effectively coordinated and communicated to the public. EPA accomplishes this work in partnership with state, local and tribal governments and responsible parties. View more information about the various cleanup programs managed by EPA:
EPA Cleanup and Redevelopment Programs
- Superfund is the Federal government's program to clean up the nation's uncontrolled hazardous waste sites.
- RCRA Corrective Action is the program responsible for the cleanup of hazardous waste contamination that may occur as a result of accidents or other activities at active facilities managing hazardous wastes. EPA has authorized most states to implement the Corrective Action Program, and they use it as a tool to address the cleanup and revitalization of our nation's hazardous waste sites.
- The Federal Facilities Restoration and Reuse Program facilitates cleanups at federal facilities, such as Department of Defense and Department of Energy properties.
- EPA's Brownfields program facilitates assessment and cleanup of abandoned or under-utilized sites where actual or potential contamination and liability may be impeding development.
- EPA develops more effective, less costly technologies to assess and clean up contaminated waste sites, soil, and groundwater.
- EPA implements portions of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). EPCRA establishes requirements for federal, state and local governments, Indian tribes and industry regarding emergency planning and "Community Right-to-Know" reporting on hazardous and toxic chemicals.
Mercury Response Guidebook (for Emergency Responders)
The Mercury Response Guidebook, by EPA's Emergency Response Team and EPA's Region 5 office in Chicago, is designed to assist emergency and remedial professionals coordinate and clean up indoor mercury spills. The principles in this guidebook can also be used at other mercury-contaminated sites.

Dohaa (Dark Waters)
Set in present day rural Western India, "Dohaa (Dark Waters)" is the story of physical lust and its horrific consequences for two tender lives. Bhiki, a single mother of three, is the mistress of the macho Vishnu and survives by selling fritters under his abusive protection. Kamli, Bhiki's eldest daughter, is not academically inclined but insists on attending school as it is the only escape from her impoverished surroundings. On the verge of puberty, Kamli is shunned by her classmates and picked on by the teacher. While the village grocer and class bully lust for her, Kamli develops tender feelings for the handsome, intelligent and kind Ajay, who arrives from Mumbai and joins her class. Confused by Bhiki's constant pressure to ensnare Ajay into a physical relationship, Kamli tries to seduce him awkwardly. Watching Ajay and Kamli in the act, Bhiki offers herself forcibly to Ajay. Will the swirling Dark Waters of poverty and animalistic lust surrounding Kamli destroy her innocence, her capacity to love tenderly and devour her or will she survive to grow stronger?

BUFFALO, N.Y.-Canisius beat Bishop Kearney 69-50 Tuesday night in the Bernard J. Kennedy Fieldhouse at Canisius High School.
Bishop Kearney played without senior Chinonso Obokoh who apparently sat out the game with a foot injury. Two On Your Side's Stu Boyar asked Crusaders head coach Kyle Husband if he was upset that the Knights big man wasn't there. "I don't care, its something we can't control. Just as long as we keep getting better every time we step on the floor I'm happy."
Husband had plenty to be happy about Tuesday night as the Crusaders improved their record to 3-1 on the season. Once again senior leadership was key for Canisius. Adam Wier, # 25 led the way with 28 points. Another senior # 33 Matt MacDonald had 16. Wier, MacDonald and another senior, # 3 Aaron White all hit big shots in the third quarter when the Crusaders hit five three pointers. Wier and MacDonald had two each and White hit another three as the Crusaders broke the game wide open.
Husband told Stu "we played well, the first quarter was a struggle but we kept grinding away especially in the third quarter. We made shots, we worked hard on defense all night. Shots weren't falling early but those five threes in the third were huge. When we spread it around like that we'll be good."
Canisius is now 3-1 on the season. The Knights were led by # 5 Antoine Anderson with 20 points. Sophomore # 31 Thomas Bryant had 10.

In a story reported by Russia Today on March 28, Sergey Koshelev, identified as head of the Russian Defense Ministry's department of international cooperation, said that his ministry will soon begin discussions with NATO representatives to seek an arrangement allowing Russia to establish new bases in Afghanistan to repair military hardware.
"We will look into various options of creating repair bases on Afghan territory," Koshelev told the press.
RT cited Koshelev's statement that the maintenance of weapons and military hardware in Afghanistan remains a top priority, opining that any instability in the country would affect Russia's own security, as well as the security of other European nations. The report continued:
Russian NATO envoy Aleksandr Grushko also said that Moscow was not excluding the possibility of broader cooperation with the military bloc. In particular, Russia could offer to enlarge the transport corridor to Afghanistan, so that the country's own forces could continue to receive supplies from Western allies after coalition troops leave Afghanistan in 2014.
The report also quoted Russian State Duma Defense Committee First Deputy Chairman Sergei Zhigarev (roughly the equivalent of the chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Armed Services). Zhigarev said in a statement to RSN radio:
In any case this [Russia-NATO cooperation] is a positive moment. The coalition was breaking there for 13 years. We remember very well the situation our troops found themselves in at the Afghanistan-Tajikistan border. This is why the stabilization in Afghanistan is very important for us.
RT also cited a recent statement from former U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta that Afghan forces are currently providing security across three-quarters of the country's territory.
Panetta stressed, however, that the withdrawal of U.S. military forces did not mean that Americans were leaving Afghanistan completely, and that the United States would continue to provide aid and training to the Afghanistan's government and military forces.

By C.J. MCMANUS and RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate writers
Ask any manager to name a person in their company that they should not, could not and would not do without and almost inevitably they will answer "my secretary."
In these days of changing technology, fast pace communications and complicated business dealings, there is no one more universally appreciated than a good secretary, or an administrative assistant as they are known today.
The proficiency and good administrative assistant has also goes with the kind of job they have. Few of them just type letters and make coffee anymore. In fact many have so many duties and talents it is hard not to see them as a co-manager along with their boss.
Take Jana Abrams for instance. She is the office manager for the Castle Country Travel Region, but she also holds another title that is important to tourism in this part of the state. She is the energy loop by-ways coordinator, a position in which she not only has to write grants to gund various kinds of projects, but must also coordinate projects and events with the United States Forest Service, which lies around Highways 96, 264 and 31, where the Huntington-Eccles Energy Loop by-way exists.
But the summation of a person that works as an administrative assistant is often in their past experience as much as it is in their ability to do the job at the present time.
Since graduating from Carbon High School, Abrams has been active in working in varied environments, including working in Washington, D.C., for the FBI in the identification department.
"At the time the FBI came around to high schools recruiting people to work in the agency," she said. "I decided it was something I was going to do so I joined up and as soon as I graduated in May I got on an airplane, landed in Dullas National Airport and soon I was working in FBI headquarters. It was quite an experience."
She said that one time she was getting on an elevator and realized that J. Edgar Hoover was on it.
"I didn't know if I should get on or not; he had two big body guards with him," she laughed.
But being a country girl from eastern Utah she didn't like the big city so much because "about all the outdoor things we got to do was play badminton."
So she came back home and went to work for Sheldon Hansen Chevrolet as a secretary for a number of years. Later she became the city treasurer for Wellington, then the recorder and finally the city manager for a few years.
"Then the bottom fell out of the coal market and the city didn't need a manager during that hard time and I was looking for a job," she stated.
She found one. She became the general manager of the Days Inn (now Holiday Inn) and worked there for 14 years. It was her first job dealing with tourism and she learned a lot from it but hated the stress of managing 75 employees and a property worth millions of dollars 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
She left that position and took a few years off before coming to the travel bureau.
"I love it here because of the things I get to do and the people I get to meet and talk too," she said. "It's interesting every day."
Kathy Smith, her boss, sees her as an integral part of the travel bureau, one she couldn't do without. Abrams has many duties with her main ones including taking care of accounts receivables, accounts payables and handling the areas event calendar.
As the years have gone by the travel bureau has grown more busy.
"Just in the last week and a half we have sent out over 500 packets to prospective tourists who have requested them," said Abrams. "People are becoming more and more interested in our area and what we have to offer."
Then there is Ricki Palmer. She has a different kind of administrative assistants job.
Palmer began working at Petersen Elementary in 1992 and found her true calling as an elementary school secretary. While she had served the cities of East Carbon and Sunnyside in many other capacities it is her work at Petersen that has been greasing the wheel of local education for the past 15 years.
"Ricki is the glue that binds the whole school together," said Petersen Elementary Principal Melissa Hamilton. "She is a bright shining star that lifts the spirit of everyone around her, she is wonderful for these kids."
Ricki has lived in the community for 51 years and recounted fondly that her parents bought one of the very first houses in the A-section portion of East Carbon.
Palmer graduated from East Carbon High School in 1974 and considers the schools closing to be a sore spot.
"The new elementary going up makes me feel a lot better about things," said Palmer. "I take a great amount of pride in being the last school secretary at Petersen and the first at Bruin Point Elementary."
Palmer's responsibilities at the school include but are not limited to handling student problems, doing both accounts payable and receivable work, payroll and administrative support.
"I really feel like the school's mother on most days," laughed Palmer.
And being a mother is something Ricki knows a lot about. Her and her husband Jeff, who is the safety supervisor for UtahAmerican Energy, have four daughters, Lindsay, Taylor, KyLeigh and Halyn.
"I couldn't be prouder of my girls," said Palmer. "They still call me every morning to let me know what is going on in their lives."
Before joining the school Palmer served on the East Carbon City council for 10 years and under four different mayors. It was a job that she says got her ready for all the multitasking she does at the school.
"I can't imagine running this school without her," concluded Hamilton. "Her spirit makes this place run."
In another place in the county, a place that a lot of people know, Sandra McManus works as a long time secretary taking care of people.
The face of McManus is one that is familiar to many in the Castle Country area. And it is a face those she helps are always happy to see. McManus has served Carbon County residents with vocational training needs for more that 30 years as the district executive secretary for the State Office of Vocational Rehabilitation.
"She knows her job better than anyone in the state," said Eastern Utah District Director, Carol Rogers. "As an executive secretary and a fiscal manager there is no one better in the whole of Utah."
McManus started with the agency in 1975 doing dictation and case management and slowly worked into the position she now thrives in.
"Working with the clients is the best part of my job; it's what keeps me working," said McManus. "We provide a service here that really makes a difference in peoples lives and that matters to me."
As district administrative secretary McManus is responsible for fiscal management both of her case load and the over site of all other case loads in the district. She also handles many administrative responsibilities while generally managing the Price office.
"The most wonderful thing about Sandra is that when I need something done it gets done, quickly, neatly and thoroughly. I never have to go back and check her work. Also Sandra provides a great resource for all secretaries in the district with her knowledge of the program," stated Rogers. "She has a very large fiscal responsibility and she manages that very well."
Before working for Rogers, Sandra served under Karl F. Kraync who was acting director for 30 years.
"When Mrs. Mac and I were working together she was the heart and soul of the whole district. She made sure everything always ran as it should. And she cared. She cared about the program and the clients," commented Kraync.
According to McManus it is the ability to help someone get back on their feet that allows her to have pride in what she does.
"Helping someone to succeed is what matters most to me," she concluded.

WINOOSKI-For the second time in four contests this season, the Lake Region Rangers softball team took out their whoopin' sticks, as they trounced Winooski Saturday morning, 37-1 in girls high school action.
Earlier in the week, the Rangers traveled to Danville, where they dropped a tough-to-swallow 8-4 contest.

No, it means that a certain amount of people who form a militia can have guns. It doesn't mean everyone and their dog can have one, because not everyone is part of the militia.

Empowering the voices of women in the psychedelic renaissance
As one of few women to pioneer the digital revolution, Zoe Helene experienced the frustrations of navigating a male-centric world. As one of few leading female voices in today's psychedelic renaissance, she's running up against that imbalance again—and this time, she's determined to help right it.
"Imbalanced systems are inherently unhealthy, and this work is about wellness," Helene says. "Sexism is a chronic, systemic problem and has no place in the psychedelic renaissance arena. This is our last chance to evolve ethically, so we'd better get it right."
Since Helene—an artist, environmental activist and wildlife advocate—began participating in transformational ayahuasca ceremonies in the Amazon with her husband, ethnobotanist Chris Kilham, she's found that la medicina moves her life forward in ways that matter. Ayahuasca has reconnected her with her deepest inner wisdom and helped her step up to the plate. "This is not recreational—it is hard but fascinating work with a big payoff," Helene says.
Helene is concerned because she believes that women are grossly underrepresented in media and in public presentations within the psychedelic and cannabis reform community—"a subculture that aspires to be enlightened."
"As talented, intelligent, ambitious women, we have dealt with this countless times before," Helene adds. "As liberated women and as women on the path, we do not wish to step into roles or cultural behaviors that do not feel genuine, positive or healthy—such as aggression, hyper competitiveness, seducing, backstabbing or stepping on others to get to the top—just to be secure a position where we are sought out by the media so that we can be heard and share our work. That's counter-productive to the work of the medicine."
Listen to and download a conversation between Zoe Helene and Utne editor Christian Williams in the Abstract Notions podcast:
Through Cosmic Sister, the company Helene founded in 2009 to provide a higher self-selected and connected network and resource for progressive women, she financially supports communicative women so they can experience the healing, consciousness expansion, clarity and inspiration that she found through ayahuasca.
With funding from the Cosmic Sister Plant Spirit Grant, women can participate in authentic, traditional ayahuasca ceremonies at respected retreats and integrate the experience into their lives when they return home. Six women from diverse backgrounds, ranging in age from 26 to 62, have received the grant and returned from the Amazon inspired and ready to fly.
Interest in the grant is soaring, even without promotion, Helene says. "The first Cosmic Sister Plant Spirit Grant was profound and sweet, so I followed my intuition and continued to develop the program," she adds. "Ayahuasca offers people an opportunity to help themselves. All of the women are thriving, and it's a privilege to witness these transformational journeys and an honor to play a supportive role."
A companion project, the Cosmic Sister Women of the Psychedelic Renaissance initiative, funds and supports these grant recipients—and other women—as they educate the public about the benefits and risks of psychedelics and responsible use of sacred plants, including ayahuasca, cannabis and psilocybin, through articles, presentations and public outreach projects.
"Many of us in the 'full moon' phase of our lives, or beyond, are compelled to step up to the plate for younger women and girls, as well as for men and boys, because we understand how they too are hurt by archaic gender clichés and cultural limitations," Helene says.

It was during a rare trip to a fast food restaurant that I, an 11-year-old, asked my mother if she ever tried to send telepathic comfort to people who seemed sad. I was referring to the beleaguered-looking cashier, and it was occurring to me for the first time that it might be abnormal to be shaken up by the real or imagined plight of this employee, who was performing what looked to me like thankless servitude. What was revealing itself was what I have started calling "hyperactive empathy." Though it began adorably in childhood as a penchant for expressing sympathy to the pained, injured or unhappy around me, it grew into something somewhat debilitating. Empathy is a powerful thing. It takes imagination, compassion, intuition. It is one of the most important tools we use in navigating complex human interactions and too much, or too little, can break a person.
Invisibilia, a new podcast from NPR pros Lulu Miller and Alix Spiegel, is a series that looks at the unseen forces acting on the world around us. A recent episode chronicled the struggle of a woman using the pseudonym "Amanda," who physically feels everything experienced by those around her. If you eat in front of Amanda, she feels the (apparently unpleasant) sensation of having food shoved in her mouth. When you stub your toe, she feels the same stabbing pain. This phenomenon is actually called Mirror Touch Synesthesia and like the synesthesia that causes some people to see numbers as colors, it is a type of cross-wiring in the brain. When someone like Amanda sees a hug or a slap, her brain activates the same touch centers it would if she herself were hugged or slapped. Pain and sensation are the result of neurological signals, so these mirror sensations are not necessarily less "real" than experienced ones.
The symptoms are not all physical, though this aspect of Mirror Touch is perhaps the most shocking to an outsider. Amanda also reacts to the emotional pain and discomfort of those around her, so she acts as a self-described "chameleon," disappearing into the lives of the confident or calming. This coping mechanism not only wreaks havoc on her personal relationships as she moves from identity to identity, it also leaves her without much of an identity of her own. This phenomenon is actually documented, as people with conditions like Amanda's have less gray matter in the areas that distinguish self from other. Amanda and her family speak of both the obvious and the nuanced aspects of being a family full of feel-ers. Mirror Touch Synesthesia runs in families, creating a fascinating and heartbreaking dynamic of people trying to love each other at just enough distance to still be individuals, to still be functioning.
At one point, Spiegel asks, "How do you live when just a trip to the grocery store involves getting intimately entangled with everyone you see?" This question reminds me of my own discomfort in grocery stores, with their disorienting over-saturation of suffering stimuli. Sometimes the weight of the collective emotional baggage of a warehouse-sized microcosm just isn't worth a box of pancake mix.
Amanda's story is both cautionary and educational. There is much to be learned from anomalous empathy like Mirror Touch, the forces that instruct us when to distinguish self from other and how to find a healthy balance of these forces. Personally, I hope someday to see an old man run after a bus he will surely miss and go about my day.

Gordon Hempton is an acoustic ecologist. His journey to this uncommon calling is profiled in the podcast "On Being with Krista Tippett." If the podcast medium ever had an ideal subject, Hempton and his philosophy of sound might be it. Natural soundscapes like the the hollow hum of wind through driftwood punctuate this fascinating look at something we so rarely think about—the auditory connection to a sense of place. Though he travels the world collecting and recording sound, it is his dedication to silence that provokes the most thought. Silence, to Hempton, is neither empty nor frightening. "Even when we just let it exist," he says, "it feeds our soul."

Forget the recommended 7 to 8 hours of regular sleep. History has shown that inspiration and energy don't come from the undisturbed hours we try to sandwich between bedtimes and alarms, but from their disruption.
Like animals and insects, humans originally slept in increments, with a few hours interrupting the "first sleep" and "second sleep," wrote A. Roger Ekirch, historian and author of At Day's Close: Night in Times Past. That time was filled with praying, thinking, writing, sex, and discussion—activities our ancestors were too tired to do right before their initial sleep, but in "night-waking" would feel recharged and inspired, eventually drifting back into a second sleep after having a moment of peaceful stimulation.
Ekirch wrote that it's likely people were deep in dreams right before waking up from the first sleep, "thereby affording fresh visions to absorb before returning to unconsciousness … their concentration complete." Thomas Jefferson, for example, would read books on moral philosophy before bed so that he could "ruminate" on the subject between sleeps.
Those hours contain a sense of tranquility and natural rhythm that dispel distractions and inspire an optimal state of mind. "In the dead of night, drowsy brains can conjure up new ideas from the debris of dreams and apply them to our creative pursuits," wrote Aeon magazine.
Psychiatrist Thomas Wehr of the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health found that at night, the brain experiences hormonal changes that enhance creativity, altering the state of mind. The hormone, prolactin, contributes to the hallucinations we have in our sleep but continues to produce during the "quiet wakefulness" between sleeps.
But by the early 20th century, sleeping changed dramatically. Cue Thomas Edison, whose invention of the light bulb revolutionized and regularized sleeping schedules, eliminating segmented sleeping: The longer a house had lighting, the later a household would go to bed. Electricity had elbowed out night-waking, along with its valuable qualities. "By turning night into day," wrote Ekirch, "modern technology has obstructed our oldest avenue to the human psyche, making us, to invoke the words of the 17th-century English playwright Thomas Middleton, 'disannulled of our first sleep, and cheated of our dreams and fantasies.'" Wehr agreed, suggesting that current routines have not only changed our sleeping patterns, but also "might provide a physiological explanation for the observation that modern humans seem to have lost touch with the wellspring of myths and fantasies."
Through a month-long experiment in the 1990s, Wehr discovered that segmented sleeping returns when we extinguish artificial light. His subjects had access to light 10 hours a day rather than the current, artificially extended 16. Wehr reported that in this cycle, "sleep episodes expanded and usually divided into two symmetrical bouts, several hours in duration, with a one- to three-hour interval between them."
While experiments and history prove that segmented sleeping is natural, it can be quite difficult to master in the schedule-obsessed, appointment-filled modern lifestyle. But as the Industrial Revolution put an end to the creative spells that once punctuated slumber, Aeon wrote, the Digital Revolution has potential to sympathize with the segmented sleeper:
"If we can make time to wake in the night and ruminate with our prolactin-sloshed brains, we may also reconnect to the creativity and fantasies our forebears enjoyed when, as Ekirch notes, they 'stirred from their first sleep to ponder a kaleidoscope of partially crystallized images, slightly blurred but otherwise vivid tableaus born of their dreams.'"

Nearly half the time you're awake, it's likely spent daydreaming. Sometimes it's a pleasant trip down memory lane; other times, just a weird thought that feels like time wasted after snapping out of it. But most of the time, removing yourself from the present is just what you need—maybe for a jolt of ingenuity, an amnesiac remedy, or a Walter Mittyesque escape. The Huffington Post broke down five upsides to these wistful distractions:
1. They'll help connect subconscious dots. When asked to come up with multiple uses for a brick within two minutes, volunteers in a study were 41 percent more inspired when asked to daydream before focusing. In your own little world, you're subconsciously making connections and using information to form unexpected solutions. Try the study's drill by contemplating a problem and then spacing out for 12 minutes before refocusing.
2. They'll remind you of the bigger picture. When trivialities tend to occupy your mental energy (traffic jams, checkout lines, chores), one study found that daydreaming can prompt your deeper ambitions. The brain is divided into a default network (associated with creativity and self-reflection) and an executive network (for planning and problem-solving). Rarely do the two work simultaneously—unless you're daydreaming. The study found that the dual activity was at its strongest when an individual was so completely "zoned out" that they didn't even realize it. One theory is that when the present moment is out of the picture, the two networks can mix freely, and abstract ideas, what-if scenarios, memories, and insights can surface more naturally.
3. They can help partially erase bad memories. Psychologists recommend taking your mind to a totally different emotional experience when you're trying to forget about something for a while—say, an unfortunate run-in or hovering deadline. One study showed that when volunteers were asked to memorize a set of words, those who daydreamed right after learning them were far less likely to remember than those who stayed present. This effect is even stronger when your thoughts take you to a distant place, such as a vacation abroad, or a distant time (at least two weeks ago). While it won't rid your memory entirely, some unwanted details could escape you.
4. They're relatively manageable. One study suggests that if you want to spend your daydreams planning for the future, move your body forward; to spend them reminiscing, move backward. Whether it's physical (such as sitting in a moving bus) or an illusion (think old-school galactic screensavers), there's a subconscious correlation. One study found that when participants watched certain animations, there was a parallel between the direction of the graphics and whether they thought toward the future or of the past.
5. It's a youthful thing to do. College students spend roughly half their time daydreaming, compared to one-third for seniors, said a study. It showed that both age groups were rather comparable overall, but older people—whether due to weaker memory, more discipline, or fewer distractions—were still more mentally present.

Attention, twentysomethings: Now is the time to change yourself for the better, if ever. Because if you're older than 30, there's a good chance your personality will stay more or less the same for the remainder of your life, studies say. That might seem like terribly uninspiring news, but it does have its loopholes.
Brian Little, a University of Cambridge psychology lecturer and author of Me, Myself, and Us: The Science of Personality and the Art of Well-Being, told Melissa Dahl at Science of Us that by the age of 30, a personality is "half-plastered." The five prominent personality traits psychologists consider are openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism—traits that don't fluctuate according to moods, but are most likely core characteristics, with about 40 to 50 percent of our personality coming from genes. In fact, certain traits can show up within days of being born, although evolve quite rapidly throughout childhood.
Yes, there's a strong genetic component to our personality that's generally stable throughout our lives. That doesn't mean it's fixed, exactly, but that the rate of change greatly slows compared to childhood, adolescence, and your early twenties. It becomes more consistent. Dahl also quotes Paul T. Costa at the National Institutes of Health, who said, "What you see at 35, 40 is what you're going to see at 85, 90." Yikes.
Still, it's not a rigid timeline: "There's nothing magical about age 30," Costa said. Rather, it's about maturity, with the 30s being a developmental arc: It's likely college is over, most of the "firsts" are over, and life generally becomes a little more settled—so, too, does your personality.
But it's nothing a little faking can't fix. Little argues that we can still choose to act against our natures. Our basic personality traits may not change, but our behavior and how we choose to express ourselves can decidedly be at odds with our true selves if the situation calls for it. An example, he said, would be an introvert playing the part at a social event, or a disagreeable person just trying to be nice.
"Acting out of character," as it's known, comes more naturally the more it's practiced. Little warns, however, that too much of this can cause anxiety—heart starts pounding, muscles get tense—a typical stress reaction. Consider how an introvert might need some "alone time" to recharge after playing the part of a social butterfly for a while, he said.
From 30 to 90, milestones will occur, no doubt, and be the catalysts that could soften your heart, instill cynicism, or dramatically change your outlook on life: marriage, children, heartbreak, deaths, success, failure. Certain personality traits may eventually just be a part of who you are, but it's how you express them and the choices you make that unlock the genetic shackles.

Darwin's term "survival of the fittest" typically connotes ruthlessness, greed, and self-interest in the name of competition. But that's actually quite far from what he meant: "Communities, which included the greatest number of sympathetic members, would flourish best," he wrote.
Studies today show that our minds are indeed wired for sympathy and empathy—qualities that activate other mammals' brains, suggesting it's an innate part of our neurological system. In this animated video, University of California, Berkeley's psychologist Dacher Keltner discusses the various aspects of kindness: its evolution, biology, and circumstantial influences. Because humans produce vulnerable offspring causing us to be cooperative caregivers, he said, our physiology has evolved accordingly.
Studies revealed that class structure does affect one's level of empathy, with a "compassion deficit" found in wealthier communities. And contrary to common sense, those with less money are also more likely to donate and give to charity, showing a greater strength of generosity and empathy within lower classes.
While 60 percent of what we do is motivated by self-interest and competition, there's a great "secondary delight" in acting for others, accounting for 40 percent of our actions: We still find personal fulfillment when sacrificing and risking exploitation through these selfless deeds. "It really requires that we have to redefine human self-interest," Keltner said. "The great ethical traditions have always been encouraging this, and now we're seeing the science, that, yeah, the brain really cares about other people."

Being around many people in town through my job, I often hear things in conversations that get passed from person to person. Sometimes those rumors or half truths are about individuals, sometimes they are about businesses, sometimes they are about organizations. Sometimes the substance of the communication has substance, sometimes it doesn't.
As the basketball season progresses, I can tell with the way things are going it is going to be like most years and I am going to begin to hear things about the College of Eastern Utah teams. Most generally it relates to them having a "losing season."
There is often criticism of the administration, of the athletic department, of the coaching and of the players. After all everyone needs someone to blame when things aren't going the way they should, right?
Well I am certainly no expert at basketball, despite my life long love for it. And I surely am not coaching material, and certainly not an athletic recruiter by any means. But I do know this. I think the coaches and staff at the BDAC do a pretty good job with what they have to work with. That's not a slam against the players by any means; there are some darn good players that come through the college. It's just a comment on reality.
What is reality? Here's some for you. Remember last summer when new Utah basketball coach Ray Giacolletti took a trip to Australia to spend a couple of weeks making sure that star center Andrew Bogut would come back to Utah this year? What do you think that little trip cost?
Well I don't know the exact figures, but I can tell you almost positively that one trip to assure a player would come back to his squad cost much more than the entire amount of money CEU has to recruit players with each year.
Recruiting is a brutal business and it's becoming more so every season. Years ago it was just the big time programs in which it was so hard; now it has moved down into the junior colleges and in some cases even into the secondary school level. Just ask high school coaches from the Wasatch Front that have to face keeping student athletes in their schools in the face of huge public high schools that have open enrollment programs or the many private schools that are popping up there almost every year.
And a final thought. Many of us have or have had teenagers in our families. No matter how good of kids they are, teenagers, largely because of their age and maturity level, are kind of flaky at times. Now imagine putting your livelihood on the line, counting on teenagers (or young people very near to that age) to make you and what you do look good.
Sure businesses hire teenagers, but generally there is some type of mix of mature adults and 18 year olds on the floor of a hamburger establishment or a pizza parlor. That's not true of the soccer field or the basketball floor. A coach may be on the sidelines, but he or she can't play the game for them if they come up short or make mistakes.
All I have to say is that I admire coaches of amateur sports in general, and the coaches in this county, in particular, a great deal. As for CEU athletics, they may not have many winning seasons, but they do their job the best they can with the resources they have. Many fine players have come from that school and gone on to four year colleges and been successful.
But more important is the fact that they give many kids who would never have the chance to attend college the chance to be something other than an athlete as well.
They give them a chance for success at life.

ARLINGTON, VA (WUSA9) - An Arlington man has been arrested after being caught allegedly masturbating in a health club sauna for the second time in two months.
Arlington Police were investigating a separate incident at the LA Fitness club in the 3500 block of S. Clark Street in Crystal City on Thursday.
Once at the club, Police reportedly were approached by someone there who said they saw a man masturbating in the public sauna. Police arrested the man, 65-year-old Morris Umansky of Arlington, who was then charged with indecent exposure.
None of the police officers saw Umansky in the act and the man, who owns a local hair salon, said he was shaving himself and not masturbating, police said.
In late December Umansky was also arrested after being accused on masturbating in the same sauna.

I have been involved in creative works for years. Watercolors, oils, jewelry creation, and writing. A few years ago, after undergoing treatment for breast cancer, I abandoned my partly written novel and bought my first serious camera, a Nikon, believing life is too short not to do something that gives me pleasure. Although writing was stimulating and fun, I longed to do something that got me out of the house and into nature. Within months, I abandoned film and went to a Nikon digital camera. My love for the creative process, nature and the animals that live in nature influences my work, although I have branched out in many areas of photography besides nature/animals.

(Editors note: Based on the weather this winter, if things don't change, the local area will be experiencing a drought. This is the sixth in a series of articles examining droughts, water use, water storage/sources, personal water footprints and what the impacts of a prolonged drought has done in the past and can do to the eastern Utah in the future).
"All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was."
Toni Morrison
Imagine you run a manufacturing or processing business and you are trying to find a place to locate it. And imagine that for that business you would need a good supply of water to do that manufacturing.
Would you locate that business where water is scarce much of the time and during drought times supplies are even more sketchy?
Probably not.
That is part of the dilemma economic development officials in eastern Utah have. The area has a lot of pluses, but water is generally not one of them.
"Water for manufacturing is a consideration in at least a few businesses that have thought about moving to our area," said Delynn Fielding, the economic development director for Carbon County. "It just depends on the type of industry."
Fielding says that when businesses look at the area to locate here they are looking at a lot of factors: transportation, infrastructure, workforce availability, etc. But for some industries the spectre of water is a big consideration.
"Take food processing for instance," said Fielding. "They need a lot of water to do that."
But other businesses that make things need water too. Some need water to cool down things, others need it for cleaning items. Water is also used in some types of fabrication, used to dilute products or add to products and of course is also used for sanitation.
It is interesting to note that, and understandably so, that states that have industries that use the most water, have the most water available. States high on the cycle of water use are Louisiana and Indiana. One high use state is Texas, which suffered through a severe drought in the last couple of years. In some cases industries in Texas had a hard time of it because of that drought.
Utah ranks toward the bottom of states with high use of water for industry, but there are exceptions in various areas of the state. Eastern Utah already has an industry that consumes a lot of water; power generation. Making sure they have enough water to run is critical. During droughts of the past there had been speculation that if the water wasn't there in the quantities needed, some of these plants might be in trouble. A drought or other disruption could create a situation where plants don't have enough water to operate.
Electric Lake in Huntington Canyon was built in the 1970s so that the Huntington Power plant could have a constant supply of water. In conjunction with irrigators who use the water for agriculture, the lake is maintained at optimum levels when possible. The reservoir holds enough water for the plant could operate for up to four years in a drought cycle. It covers 425 acres and holds 35,500 acre feet of water when full.
The Hunter Plant uses water from Joe's Valley Reservoir. While that reservoir was not designed for the plant itself, it is an important part of keeping the turbines turning in lean water years.
The Carbon Plant in Price Canyon relies on Scofield Reservoir for much of its water. Built in the mid-1950s, there was quite a controversy as Utah Power and Light at the time bought up shares of water to be used for the plant, taking that water out of agricultural use.
The Co-Generation plant in Sunnyside gets its water from Grassy Trail Reservoir which is jointly owned with Sunnyside/East Carbon.
Generating electricity takes a lot of water, but the plants recycle it, first for steam generation and then for other plant processes. Super-purified water, with traces of chemicals to reduce corrosion, circulates through the boiler where is turned to high-pressure, high-temperature steam to turn the turbines. When its job is done, the steam is condensed and stored for another run through the boiler.
Once it has been through the steam-condensate cycle a few times, the water is put to use in scrubbers to remove sulfur gases, move ash and cool the system by evaporation in the cooling towers. When one looks at a power plant, they may see white clouds from the stacks above a coal burning plant. Those clouds are condensed moisture from the scrubbing process. The sulfur is chemically trapped and stays behind.
But what is really noted in terms of volume, particularly on cold days, is the amount of steam coming out of cooling towers. Each tower is a cascade, churning the warm water to expose it to air and cool off by evaporation.
A study done in 2008 by the Virginia Water Resources Research Center found that certain kinds of power generation use more water than others. All together fossil fuel powered power plants in the United States consume more than 500 billion liters of water per day.
The report noted that the fossil fuel that used the least water was natural gas operated plants (38 liters of water per 1,000 kilowatt hours generated). Coal burning plants use between 530-2,100 liters of water per 1,000 kilowatt hours, depending on how they are constructed and operated.
The study also looked at other kinds of power generation as well. With the Blue Castle Nuclear Power Plant slated to come on line near Green River sometime in the next decade, the controversy over water that would be used in that plant has been terrific. At this point in time the Utah state water engineer has given the okay for the plant to use water from the Green River, which advocates of the plant say will drop the level of the river by about one inch during high generation periods. That Virgina 2008 study showed that nuclear power generation was by far the most water intensive of any generation system using 31,000 to 74,900 liters of water per 1000 kilowatt hours. What the Blue Castle plant will use remains to be seen because as technology changes plants tend to become more efficient (as is demonstrated by the wide range of water usage noted above for both coal and nuclear plants).
Even in drought years however, Carbon county does have a bit of an ace in the hole if a water intensive industry did decide to move operations here. The Price River Water Improvement District's waste water plant produces 1.9 million gallons of effluent water every day. That water could be used for many industrial processes, depending on what they are.
"An industry can use that water as it is for processes in which humans do not contact it," said Jeff Richens, the district manager for PRWID. "We have a filing on the water that comes out of the plant. Actually we are looking for a customer for it."
Richens said that if the water needs to be culinary grade there would be processes that PRWID could use to bring the effluent to that level too. Of course cost of the water to any user would have to be negotiated.
While the best of plans have been laid to continue to support the industrial water users in the county, drought can still affect what happens. And another industry, agriculture, gets impacted the most when there is a drought, because not only do water supplies for irrigation wane, but generally the water from the sky does not come either.

|Man Rescued From Thunderhole Trail
|Written by Jim Landis
|Sunday, 14 April 2013 16:59
Members of the Blowing Rock Fire Department, Blowing Rock Police Department and Watauga Medics helped rescue a sick man off of a rugged and steep trial on Sunday afternoon. The man who was in his 50's had hiked with friends down Upper Thunderhole Trail
which is part of the Pisgah National Forest. They group had gotten about a mile down the tail and the man became sick to the point that he could not walk back out on his own strength.
The ten rescuers reached the man and gave him medical attention. They used a stokes basket mounted on a large wheel to get him out of the woods. The trail was only a foot or so wide in many areas, very steep with rocks and trees that were laying across it. The rescuers were able to overcome the rugged terrain and get the man to safety. He was transported to Watauga Medical Center.

In Lost Letter, Allen Ginsberg Tells The Paris Review He Tried LSD Again & Experienced "No Snake Universe Hallucinations" (1966)
Lost Letters, Allen Ginsberg, A Letters, Ginsberg Letters, Unpublish Letters, The Readers, Paris Review, 1966 Letters
A June 2, 1966 letter from Allen Ginsberg to the readers of The Paris Review
"A letter from Allen Ginsberg to the readers of "The Paris Review" recently resurfaced in our archives. May the record hereafter reflect Allen Ginsberg's unequivocal endorsement of lysergic acid diethylamide."
Allen Ginsberg letter to The Paris Review, June, 1966 re LSD, Psylocibin [sic], etc. To readers of Paris Review: Between occasion of interview with Thomas Clark June '65 and publication May '66 more reassurance came. I tried small doses of LSD twice in secluded tree and ocean cliff haven at Big Sur. No monster vibration, no snake universe hallucinations. Many tiny jeweled violet flowers along the path of a living brook that looked like Blake's illustration for a canal in grassy Eden: huge Pacific watery shore, Orlovsky dancing naked like Shiva long-haired before giant green waves, titanic cliffs that Wordsworth mentioned in his own Sublime, great yellow sun veiled with mist hanging over the planet's oceanic horizon. No harm. President Johnson that day went into the Valley of Shadow operating room because of his gall bladder & Berkley's Vietnam Day Committee was preparing anxious manifestoes for our march toward Oakland police and Hell's Angels. Realizing that more vile words from me would send out physical vibrations into the atmosphere that might curse poor Johnson's flesh and further unbalance his soul, I knelt on the sand surrounded by masses of green bulb-headed Kelp vegetable-snake undersea beings washed up by last night's tempest, and prayed for the President's tranquil health. Since there has been so much legislative mis-comprehension of the LSD boon I regret that my unedited ambivalence in Thomas Clark's tape transcript interview was published wanting this footnote. Your obedient servant [signed] Allen Ginsberg, aetat 40

You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you odd." Flannery O'Connor. "As Joyce Carol Oates once said, O'Connor had less in common with Faulkner than with Kafka and Kierkegaard. She created works of moral fiction that, according to Oates, 'were not refined New Yorker stories of the era in which nothing happens except inside the characters' minds, but stories in which something happens of irreversible magnitude, often death by violent means.'"
