15 U.S. Code § 1639b - Residential mortgage loan origination
(a) Finding and purpose
(1) Finding
The Congress finds that economic stabilization would be enhanced by the protection, limitation, and regulation of the terms of residential mortgage credit and the practices related to such credit, while ensuring that responsible, affordable mortgage credit remains available to consumers.
(2) Purpose
It is the purpose of this section and section 1639c of this title to assure that consumers are offered and receive residential mortgage loans on terms that reasonably reflect their ability to repay the loans and that are understandable and not unfair, deceptive or abusive.
(b) Duty of care
(1) Standard
Subject to regulations prescribed under this subsection, each mortgage originator shall, in addition to the duties imposed by otherwise applicable provisions of State or Federal law—
(A) be qualified and, when required, registered and licensed as a mortgage originator in accordance with applicable State or Federal law, including the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 [12 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.]; and
(2) Compliance procedures required
The Bureau shall prescribe regulations requiring depository institutions to establish and maintain procedures reasonably designed to assure and monitor the compliance of such depository institutions, the subsidiaries of such institutions, and the employees of such institutions or subsidiaries with the requirements of this section and the registration procedures established under section 1507 of the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 [12 U.S.C. 5106].
(c) Prohibition on steering incentives
(1) In general
For any residential mortgage loan, no mortgage originator shall receive from any person and no person shall pay to a mortgage originator, directly or indirectly, compensation that varies based on the terms of the loan (other than the amount of the principal).
(2) Restructuring of financing origination fee
(A) In general
For any mortgage loan, a mortgage originator may not receive from any person other than the consumer and no person, other than the consumer, who knows or has reason to know that a consumer has directly compensated or will directly compensate a mortgage originator may pay a mortgage originator any origination fee or charge except bona fide third party charges not retained by the creditor, mortgage originator, or an affiliate of the creditor or mortgage originator.
(B) Exception
Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), a mortgage originator may receive from a person other than the consumer an origination fee or charge, and a person other than the consumer may pay a mortgage originator an origination fee or charge, if—
(ii) the consumer does not make an upfront payment of discount points, origination points, or fees, however denominated (other than bona fide third party charges not retained by the mortgage originator, creditor, or an affiliate of the creditor or originator), except that the Bureau may, by rule, waive or provide exemptions to this clause if the Bureau determines that such waiver or exemption is in the interest of consumers and in the public interest.
(3) Regulations
The Bureau shall prescribe regulations to prohibit—
(A) mortgage originators from steering any consumer to a residential mortgage loan that—
(i) the consumer lacks a reasonable ability to repay (in accordance with regulations prescribed under section 1639c (a) of this title); or
(B) mortgage originators from steering any consumer from a residential mortgage loan for which the consumer is qualified that is a qualified mortgage (as defined in section 1639c (b)(2) of this title) to a residential mortgage loan that is not a qualified mortgage;
(C) abusive or unfair lending practices that promote disparities among consumers of equal credit worthiness but of different race, ethnicity, gender, or age; and
(D) mortgage originators from—
(i) mischaracterizing the credit history of a consumer or the residential mortgage loans available to a consumer;
(ii) mischaracterizing or suborning the mischaracterization of the appraised value of the property securing the extension of credit; or
(4) Rules of construction
No provision of this subsection shall be construed as—
(A) permitting any yield spread premium or other similar compensation that would, for any residential mortgage loan, permit the total amount of direct and indirect compensation from all sources permitted to a mortgage originator to vary based on the terms of the loan (other than the amount of the principal);
(B) limiting or affecting the amount of compensation received by a creditor upon the sale of a consummated loan to a subsequent purchaser;
(C) restricting a consumer's ability to finance, at the option of the consumer, including through principal or rate, any origination fees or costs permitted under this subsection, or the mortgage originator's right to receive such fees or costs (including compensation) from any person, subject to paragraph (2)(B), so long as such fees or costs do not vary based on the terms of the loan (other than the amount of the principal) or the consumer's decision about whether to finance such fees or costs; or
(d) Liability for violations
(1) In general
For purposes of providing a cause of action for any failure by a mortgage originator, other than a creditor, to comply with any requirement imposed under this section and any regulation prescribed under this section, section 1640 of this title shall be applied with respect to any such failure by substituting "mortgage originator" for "creditor" each place such term appears in each such subsection. [1]
(2) Maximum
The maximum amount of any liability of a mortgage originator under paragraph (1) to a consumer for any violation of this section shall not exceed the greater of actual damages or an amount equal to 3 times the total amount of direct and indirect compensation or gain accruing to the mortgage originator in connection with the residential mortgage loan involved in the violation, plus the costs to the consumer of the action, including a reasonable attorney's fee.
(e) Discretionary regulatory authority
(1) In general
The Bureau shall, by regulations, prohibit or condition terms, acts or practices relating to residential mortgage loans that the Bureau finds to be abusive, unfair, deceptive, predatory, necessary or proper to ensure that responsible, affordable mortgage credit remains available to consumers in a manner consistent with the purposes of this section and section 1639c of this title, necessary or proper to effectuate the purposes of this section and section 1639c of this title, to prevent circumvention or evasion thereof, or to facilitate compliance with such sections, or are not in the interest of the borrower.
(2) Application
The regulations prescribed under paragraph (1) shall be applicable to all residential mortgage loans and shall be applied in the same manner as regulations prescribed under section 1604 of this title.
(f) Timeshare plans
[1] So in original. Probably should be "in such section."

What travelers to Dubai are saying
Dubai Hotel Deals with Hotelclub.com
Dubai will be with you soon, darling. She's just getting her nails and hair done for the VIP poolside dinner tonight. Bring on the champagne… this is holidaying at its most fabulous!
From the outside, Dubai (although its citizens may disagree) is a bit like a drag show – impressive, indulgent, over the top and a little hard to believe. Look at the Burj Khalifa – the world's tallest building, or the Nad al-Sheba Club, where the global elite flock to have a punt. But take the time to peel away the layers and you're left with something rather sweet and beautiful.
Located south of the Persian Gulf, Dubai really is the ultimate place to be pampered. Indulge in luxury from now till Sunday at a handful of five-star (and above!) resorts such as Atlantic The Palm. Lie on the sun-drenched coastline and soak up VIP treatment that's winning hearts as we speak.
Dubai is a manmade wonder that really is nothing short of unique. With record-breaking buildings (the Burj al-Arab could house the Statue of Liberty in its lobby!) popping up every minute, Dubai is making its mark on the world stage.
The sensual assault starts with the Dubai Shopping Festival and tones it down a notch for the Camel Markets. Either way you're sure to go a little weak at the knees. Deep breaths. You can handle this.

4. Dubai Aquarium & Underwater ZooPeak for free from outside or pay to scour the tunnels inside.
8. Camel Market Immerse yourself in Arabic culture and try your luck at some haggling.
3. Burj Khalifa The world's tallest building. You can't miss it – literally!
7. Madinat JumeirahThe city within a city. Shopping, entertainment and architecture.
2. Ski Dubai Snow ParkTwo words: 'indoor skiing'!
6. Jumeriah MosqueThe only mosque that non-Muslims can enter. The cultural side of Dubai shines through.

Dubai Local
Given the oppressive summer heat in Dubai, you may feel like you just want to lie in the air-conditioning and have the bar staff feed you grapes. But venture out and you'll see some things you've only dreamt about.
The Palm Islands
Considered the eighth wonder of the world, these manmade islands are a must-see. If you're not staying at Atlantis, take a helicopter flight or a hot air balloon ride to see these amazing islands from above. It's all very well sitting on Google Earth, but there's nothing like sitting in a helicopter looking down at most perfectly constructed artificial palm tree in the world.
The islands are set to house the world's best hotels, leisure centres, theme parks and entertainment areas. Can't wait!
Hatta Village
Also known as Dubai Heritage Village, Hatta is built around an historic village and its oasis. Explore the palm leaf and mud houses and take in the views from the Central Tower overlooking Dubai.
After a quick coffee break, tour guides will fill you in on the pearl diving traditions and historical architectural features. The two towers outside were built in the 1800s to protect Dubai from attack. Compared to the towers in the modern city, they're more like bungalows today!
Situated at the mouth of Deira Creek, Hatta Village is a short distance from major cities and captures the old heart and tradition that is sometimes lost beneath the cosmopolitan urban sparkle.
Only 25 minutes outside the city centre, Jumeirah Beach is home to the world famous seven-star Burj Al Arab hotel. If you're a little stretched for cash, you can still visit the hotel without staying over. Phew! There's plenty of other accommodation alternatives available, including the five-star the Jumeirah Beach Hotel Dubai if you don't mind slumming it!
The beach is a few kilometres long but not too crowded and you're welcome to cook up a barbecue on the shore. It will be hot, though, so visit the Wild Wadi Water Park and cool down on its 30-plus rides.
Deira City Centre
On your marks… get set… go!
Deira City Centre is comprised of 115,000 square metres of retail space and features over 370 retail stores. Packed inside is Bowling City, 5-star City Centre Hotel & Residence, CineStar Cinemas, restaurants and bars, as well as the MAF Tower.
If you can't control yourself, it's best you leave the credit cards at home. And if you're desperate to avoid all the shopping, take some time out to see Deira Clocktower.
Dubai Desert
'Desert' doesn't automatically scream things to do and see. But, actually, it can make for a fascinating and fin-filled day out. Take a Safari Tour or hire your own vehicle and drive over never-ending dunes at alarming 45-degree angles. Stick a dune board in the back for some serious sand surfin'! Some companies offer the whole desert experience – camel rides, camping, belly-dancing and dinner. So when you're sick and tired of room service and a hot shower, try your luck at a bit of off-roading.
Dubai Eat & Drink
Variety is the culinary spice of life in Dubai. There are lots of little places to eat and drink at, some with all the glitz and glamour you'd expect, and some quiet steals for the modest traveller.
Ravi The five-star experience without the five-star bill. Pakistani food at its best. Sit outside and watch the streets.
SumibiyaThis one may take some saving for, but it's the best Japanese in Dubai.
Vu Slip into something uncomfortable for this one. Super classy but worth it for the views.
Maria Bonita's Taco ShopCoat your mouth in wax and prepare to be smoked to death! Wash it down with an ice-cold beer.
Bombay It's a bit of trek outside the city, but a proper curry and nice cold beer are the rewards.
Coconut Grove:More curries! More views! How can you go wrong? Sit by the window.
Thai Chi Two kitchens. Two cuisines. Choose Thai or Chinese in this unique blended restaurant.
Afghan Kebab House Drooling with the memory of foot-long slabs of meat stuffed in bread. Eat with your hands..
Basta Art Café A little charmer for a quiet sit down.
Yum Everyone loves noodles. Slurp and splash your way through a massive bowl full.
Dubai Events
January brings with it the famous Dubai Shopping Festival.The event includes theatre and street performances, fashion shows, nightly fireworks and laser shows, prize draws and film festivals.
Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon draws runners from all over the world. Nestle in beside famous landmarks as they sprint through the city centre in January. Then shake your head in disbelief that people willingly put themselves through that.
Running concurrently with Art Dubai, ArtBus offers art tours to Al Quoz, Al Bastakiya and other artistic areas around the city during March.
The UAE Desert Challenge begins in Abu Dhabi during March and continues through April as competitors race all manner of machines through the desert.
Dubai Summer Surprises is June's answer to the Shopping Festival. Pack your credit card and head for some savings.
As August comes around, so too does Ramadan in Dubai.All consumption for pleasure is prohibited between dawn and dusk, but after 30 days the city celebrates!
September brings with it the Eid al-Fitr, the break of the fast and celebration of the new moon.
National Day Festival in December sees camel rides, performances and parachuting!
What To Miss
Be sure not to offend, especially at the beach. Avoid wearing anything super skimpy and never sunbathe topless! Also, PDA (public displays of affection) are frowned upon in Dubai, so keep it chaste.
Be sure to time your toilet breaks. There is a distinct lack of public bathrooms. Either hold on tight or buy something in a bar to use theirs.
Ask around about taxi prices and carry small notes. For a rip-off-free experience, taking the bus is recommended!
When To Go
Dubai's climate is semi-tropical, arid and almost unrelentingly sunny. Any rain falls in winter and always seems to catch the city by surprise, with flash flooding often occurring around oases.
At the height of summer (July and August), the temperatures can soar to 49°C (120°F). Even the sea temperature gets up to 37°C (100°F), so spending time outside is best kept to a minimum. The swimming pools though are cooled and wonderful!
October to April is the best time to visit in terms of manageable temperatures, but sandstorms are common in March and April.
Getting Around
Public transport is cheap and popular and ideal if you're on a budget. Although not as good as in other cities, it will still get you around if you're patient. We can't all afford helicopters from here to breakfast!
Buses. Like everything in Dubai, even the buses are custom-built. Buy an e-swipe card for a discount or buy a ticket each time.
Taxis. If you want to add to the already insane congestion then this is the way to go. The minimum fare is 10 AED but the price comes down if you book ahead.
Rail. The state of the art Metro system is driverless and fully automated. Amazing! Buy a NOL card to ride and use it for other transport and parking.

Does anyone know what time the orientation for evening students is?it's either Aug.16 or 17th
Are there any secrets to PT success? I know that it is going to be rough being set against other students who will not be working, but is there anything that I can personally do to kick butt?The thought of law school really scares me, especially since I have not read a book or written a paper since I was in hs...actually, I don't think I actually read or wrote anything then either.

PLEASE HELP me if you can.
I have a statue that I bought with others at auction. It looks like Daniel Boone but the hat is not raccoon. It is very heavy and detailed. If anyone knows anything about it or it's worth, please let me know. Thanks so much, Kim

It is a resin that simulates stone and is cast. Not terribly old, but would be heavy. The character looks US or South American and is in a style of mid to late 1800's. The hat is too late for the US 1700's.

MASSENA - A New York City man wanted for his alleged role in a home invasion in Massena earlier this month was located Sunday in the Capital Region.
Village police said Jevar Sturridge, 20, of 16912 7th Avenue, Queens, was picked up on an arrest warrant for second-degree burglary following a traffic stop Sunday in Schenectady.
Sturridge is alleged to have entered a residence at 27 1/2 Spruce St. at 3:30 p.m. April 11 in an incident that village police have described as a home invasion. Patrick Lloyd of 16 Haskell St., Massena, was charged with second-degree menacing in connection with that same incident.
Sturridge was arraigned by Massena Village Justice Eric J. Gustafson and sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility with bail set at $25,000 cash or $50,000 bond.
Village police have said the charges followed an investigation into an incident that took place at the Spruce Street residence of Albert Brossoit and Felicity Caskinette. Lloyd allegedly drove another man, identified as Sturridge by police investigators, to the Spruce Street residence and the passenger in his vehicle allegedly pointed a handgun at Ms. Caskinette.
Witnesses told police Lloyd, known by his street name of Problem, drove a second man to 27 1/2 Spruce St. at approximately 3 p.m. April 11 following Ms. Caskinette when she drove into her residence.
I looked out and saw a black Charger, the one Problem drives, and then I saw this black guy ... pull a black and silver handgun out and point it at Felicity. Then they took off, Mr. Brossoit noted in the statement he signed for police.
He said the passenger in Lloyds vehicle, known only by his street name of Q, returned approximately a half hour later with a female and walked inside his residence without permission.
I had a knife in my hand, and Q told me to put the knife down and come talk to him man to man outside. I set my knife down and went outside to talk to Q. Q said I was trying to talk about his n-. Q then took a swing at me, Mr. Brossoit said, noting his assailant missed with the first punch. He then grabbed my shirt and punched me in the back of the head.
Mr. Brossoit said he was able to get away from the man and went back inside the residence after he heard his girlfriend yelling she was pregnant. Witnesses said the female that had entered the residence had grabbed Ms. Caskinette by the hair and was attempting to pull her across the room.
The Massena man traced his problem with Lloyd and his girlfriend, Miranda Green, to an incident that had taken place approximately a month earlier at Keith Snyders apartment on South Main Street.
Problem pushed Felicity in the corner and held her down while Miranda was punching her. Felicity said she was pregnant, and Miranda said, Your face isnt pregnant. Then she stopped. Felicity walked out. I went to get my keys, and they said I better not let Felicity go to the cops, Mr. Brossoit recalled in his statement to police.
It is not the first time Lloyd and Sturridge have been linked to criminal activity in the north country.
Police and federal agents had charged Lloyd, Sturridge and another New York City resident with multiple drug and gun felonies following a December traffic stop on the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation.
Lloyd, Sturridge and Travis Moore, 23, of Manhattan are each charged with one count each of second- and fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, third-degree criminal possession of a weapon with a defaced serial number and fourth-degree criminal possession of marijuana.
A news release from the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe said Lloyd, Sturridge and Moore allegedly were in possession of six ounces of heroin, six ounces of cocaine, two loaded handguns, and about a pound of marijuana. Officials said none of the three had proper licensing to possess the seized guns, which had defaced serial numbers.
The arrests were made by St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Police, New York State Police and U.S. Border Patrol.

|Easter Weekend Crop Damage Nearly $112 Million
|Written by Dave Blanks
|Friday, 13 April 2007 04:27
The Easter weekend cold snap could end up costing North Carolina as much as $112 million in crop losses according to the State Agriculture Department. Preliminary estimates show the hardest hit were nursery crops, such as ornamental trees, bushes and sod.They suffered the highest losses at almost $60 million. The department says $26.5 million worth of fruits and vegetables were lost to the cold weekend. The Agriculture Department tallied the numbers from "flash" reports submitted by U.S. Farm Service Agencies across the state. Those reports put the cost of the damage at $111.7 million with all 100 counties reporting. Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler urged farmers to continue to report losses so the state can get a complete picture of losses. Agriculture department spokesman Brian Long said it was too early to know if there would be any federal assistance for the farmers.

By SCOTT DONALDSONPrice
As a father of four, I am 31 years of age and I am trying to make it through life's struggles like everyone else. But I take a look back, and being raised by a very traditional strong structured family, I find it increasingly harder to parent the same values as did my generation.
With so much going on in this world, I find a slowly raising obstacle of more and more paperwork and time spent to fill out forms, placing calls to follow up on resources such as health insurance, bills, etc. So many changes to keep up with. All of this needless work takes time away from me and my wife to spend the proper and quality time with my family and more so, my children.
Keep it simple. Why do the insurance companies have to complicate their plans, financial accounts add more forms, etc. requiring more and more personal work. More-so I have noticed that these companies are making more and more mistakes, which again requires more time to follow up on their mistakes.
Again, let's get back to and simplify all of these steps and processes and let's allow parents, like myself, less stress and more time to lead and teach our your generation basic old fashion family life.

Revis: Jets Need More Playmakers
Darrelle Revis spoke with reporters on Monday and while he felt bad for Mike Tannenbaum and the situation he was in, he also told reporters the same thing he did last summer about this offense … that it needed more talent.
Above all else, the cornerback said, the Jets need an infusion of talent.
"You just need to evaluate [the team] this offseason and try to get some playmakers in here," he said. "I think you need playmakers to win games. That's just straight football talk."
Revis had criticized the organization in August when he told Newsday he wasn't sure if the front office had done enough to surround quarterback Mark Sanchez with weapons. Fast-forward, and the Jets' 30th-ranked offense managed only 17.6 points per game, and even more question marks orbit the quarterback position.
Did this team have enough playmakers to be successful?
"I can't answer that," Revis said Monday. "No comment."
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comIn similar situations, Revis has never backed down on speaking his mind before. When Eric Mangini was fired, Revis was categorically blunt about his problems with Mangini as a coach. I'm not that surprised to see him do it again. Also, their history over their contract stuff wasn't that great.
I appreciate Revis for being honest enough to say what he felt was wrong with the team and how the team can move forward. Of course for the Jets, the problem with fulfilling the particular issue Revis identifies will be hard to address this offseason.
The Jets offense isn't brimming with playmakers. It's brimming with ham and eggers. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's not enough to bolster a bad quarterback like Sanchez. Look back at the last ten years of drafting by this team and you can see how bad they are at drafting offensive players. And maybe that's because they've never had an offensive minded coach that whole time.
The Jets are going to have to spend wisely in free agency, so playmakers might not be realistic on the menu. As far as the draft, it's quite hard to know exactly how effective a "playmaker" the Jets could pick up … especially outside the first round or two.
A quick and very subjective look led me to think that the best offensive "playmaker" that the Jets have drafted during that time is … Jerricho Cotchery. I love Cotch, but that's pretty pathetic. Meanwhile, teams like the Packers have Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb all playing within the same unit. The Jets would give a limb for just one of those guys. The Jets have to get better at identifying and drafting offensive talent. It's as simple as that.

King Oyster Mushrooms with Pistachio Purée
IngredientsFor pickled Jerusalem artichokes
- 1/2 lb Jerusalem artichokes (also called Sun Chokes) or crosnes
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar (not seasoned)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven-spice blend)
For pistachio purée
- 1 cup shelled roasted pistachios (preferably Sicilian or Turkish)
- 5 1/2 cups water, divided
- 1/4 cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 1/4 cup instant dashi powder (also called hon dashi)
For radishes
- 8 radishes
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
For mushrooms
- 1 1/2 lb king oyster mushrooms (sometimes called Trumpet Royale)
- 1 (3 1/2-ounce) package enoki mushrooms
- 6 to 7 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- 3/4 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed
- 3 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
- Garnish: microgreens or mesclun; flaky sea salt; pistachio oil (optional)
PreparationPickle Jerusalem artichokes:
Peel artichokes and cut into 1/4-inch-thick sticks, then transfer to a nonreactive heatproof bowl.
Bring remaining artichoke ingredients to a boil in a small nonreactive saucepan, stirring until salt has dissolved, then pour over artichokes. Cool to room temperature, keeping vegetables submerged with a small plate. Transfer with liquid to an airtight container and chill, shaking occasionally, at least 1 day.
Make pistachio purée:
Cook pistachios in 2 cups boiling water in a small saucepan 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain again and peel off skins.
Bring mirin, dashi powder, and 3 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until powder has dissolved, then add pistachios and simmer, stirring occasionally, until nuts are very tender, about 1 hour. Drain nuts, discarding dashi, then reserve 1/3 cup nuts for garnish. Purée remaining nuts with remaining 1/2 cup water in a blender into a very smooth but thick paste.
Prepare radishes:
Trim radishes, then cut each into 6 wedges. Toss with sugar and kosher salt in a bowl until sugar and salt have dissolved.
Prepare mushrooms and assemble dish:
Trim oyster mushrooms, keeping stems intact, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
Trim enoki mushrooms, leaving 3 inches of stem, and reserve for garnish.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add enough oyster mushrooms to cover skillet in 1 layer, then sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and sauté, turning once, until golden on edges, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Sauté remaining oyster mushrooms in 5 or 6 more batches, using 1 tablespoon oil, 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper per batch.
When all oyster mushrooms are sautéed, return to skillet, then add butter and garlic and heat, swirling skillet, until butter is melted. Add vinegar and boil, stirring, until evaporated. Remove from heat and discard garlic.
Divide pistachio purée among plates, then top with oyster mushrooms. Remove artichokes from container with a slotted spoon and arrange, along with radishes, around oyster mushrooms. Sprinkle with enoki mushrooms, greens, reserved pistachios, and sea salt.
Cooks' notes:
·If using crosnes, halve lengthwise.
·Pickled Jerusalem artichokes keep, covered and chilled, 2 weeks.
·Pur�ed and whole cooked pistachios can be prepared 2 days ahead, then chilled separately, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
·Radishes can be prepared 4 hours ahead and kept at room temperature.
·Mushrooms can be saut�ed 2 hours ahead and chilled, uncovered, until cool, then covered. Reheat in skillet, then proceed with recipe.

Three Carbon County poets were honored at a reception in Moab last Friday, at the release of a new publication by the Moab Poets and Writers group. The book, titled Glyphs III is the latest in an ongoing series publishing essays, poems and short stories about Southeast Utah. The reception was held at the new Grand Center, where four of the authors chosen for publication were asked to read their works, including Cathy Wilson, of Carbonville.
Wilson teaches art at Helper Junior High and writing at the Youth Detention Center. A prolific poet, her works have been included in several anthologies. Both other submissions were selected for the new publication, one poem and one essay, reflections on the nature of Carbon County's landscape and mining history.
Also honored was Nancy Takacs, professor of English at College of Eastern Utah. She is well-known by local poetry lovers, and has two books of poetry to her credit, with another coming out this year. All three of her submissions were included in the new publication, including two poems and one essay about the Fremont people and Range Creek.
Jan Minich also had three poems included in the new anthology. He recently retired from College of Eastern Utah's English department. He is also a published author, and has written a series of poems about the women who accompanied Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch. One of these was included in Glyphs III.
A book-signing is being planned at the Price city library, to be announced later. The new book is available from the group's website: www. moabpoetsandwriters. org.

Depth bouyed No. 5 seed Heuvelton and fast starts to halves sparked No. 1 Madrid-Waddington, No. 2 Hammond, and No. 3 Chateaugay to Section 10 Class D Overall Semi-Final action on Tuesday at SUNY Canton.
At Massena Central, Heuvelton needed a bucket at the end of regulation and two overtimes to outscored No. 4 seed Clifton-Fine, 79-72. In the nightcap, the Jackets took a 40-9 first half lead and won 65-19 over Lisbon.
At Potsdam Central, Hammond cruised past Harrisville 61-28 and Chateaugay downed Hermon-DeKalb 51-39.
Heuvelton 79, C-F 72 2OT: Logan Tallman took a pass along the sideline with just under five seconds to play and drove in for a off balance shot to cap a comeback to force overtime for the 14-6 Bulldogs. Maddie St. Pierre netted a pair of free throws with 7.1 seconds left to cut the deficit to 63-61 after Hunter Hitchman made it 63-59 for C-F.
In the first overtime, Alexis Weidner scored the first four points but Clifton-Fine pulled even at 70-70 on a Hunter Hitchman shot with 36.5 seconds remaining.
The Eagles (15-5) played the final three minutes without second leading scorer Morgan Skeldon who finished with seven points and six rebounds before fouling out. Hitchman, who pumped in 33 points and collected four steals, picked up her fifth foul just before the second overtime.
In the second overtime, Logan Tallman answered an Alexis Pomerville score with 2:18 and after Pomerville fouled out with 2:00 remaining, Alexis Weidner and Tallman, and Hannah Thornhill closed out the scoring.
It was a game I would have like to watch from the stands, gasped Heuvelton coach Rob Power. Clifton-Fine is a dangerous team. I could only imagine them with a few more bodies. I just thought our depth down the stretch played a factor in the win. We just kept chipping away at our deficit.
Pomerville tallied 12 points and six rebounds while Delaney Kerr chipped in 12 points and 14 rebounds for the Eagles who also received eight points and four rebounds from Ally Hitchman.
Heuvelton was paced by 19 points, four rebounds and two assists from Olivia St. Pierre; 18 points, six rebounds, three steals from Alexis Weidner and 15 points, six rebounds, seven assists and four steals from Logan Tallman. Maddie St. Pierre contributed 17 points on nine of 12 free throw shooting and collected seven steals and four rebounds. Hannah Thornhill chipped in six points.
M-W 65, Lisbon 19: After leading 15-7 after the first quarter, the 18-1 Jackets used a 25-2 run, keyed by seven points from Bridget Beldock and six from Olivia Parmeter, for a 40-9 halftime lead.
We really take pride in our defense because that wins games. Tonight, we did a good job with the 1-3-1 and 2-3 zones and offensively, we really played unselfishly. Right now, we are seeing a good mix offensively on the inside and outside, said M-W coach Gary Tischler.
Beldock finished with 12 points, six rebounds and two assists while Parmeter tallied nine of her 11 points before halftime and had four rebounds and two assists. Jenn King scored eight of her 10 before halftime and grabbed six rebounds, two steals, and two steals while Tess Knight had eight points, Katie Marcellus chipped in six points, eight rebounds, four assists and two steals and Desiree Pryce added four points and five rebounds. Rounding out M-W were Kayleigh Fields (four points, the rebounds), Shelby Kendall (four points), Hannah Marcellus (four points) and Taylor Lenny (two points).
Heuvelton is going to be a tough game for us. We beat them once but theyre much improved and tonight they just battled against a very solid team, said Tischler.
For Lisbon (8-11), Emily Dishaw scored five of her nine points in the first half. Beth Crowley added eight boards and three points while Jackie Sovie scored four points. Gabby Walker chipped in four boards.
Madrid-Waddington just came out on fire and we didnt play well. But thats why theyre the No. 1 seed, said LCS coach Dickie Marcellus.
Chateaugay 51, H-D 39: Chateaugay kept its season alive by playing relentless defense in the first half where H-D used some precise three-point shooting to open an 18-13 lead. In the second half, the NAC Champion 16-3 Bulldogs ended the Demons season at 11-9 with relentless defense combined with the prolific shooting of Courtney Boyea who tallied 20 of her 22 points after the break.
Boyea (4 assists) buried a pair of threes in the first two minutes of the second half and tallied 11 points in a 22-12 third quarter run. The Bulldogs held off H-Ds upset attempts by controlling the defensive boards with the duo of Makayla Fleury (17 rebounds, 10 points) and Caitlin Miller (10 rebounds, 8 points).
Defensive ace Hannah Cook passed out four assists for the winners who were cited for their perseverance by Coach Chris Reynolds.
We were getting good looks in the first half but we couldnt knock them down. Hitting those shots in the third quarter really picked us up, said Reynolds.
H-D (11-9) was led by combination of Clarissa Davis who delivered a 16-point, 12-rebound double-double and Courtney Harrington who tallied 15 points with seven rebounds.
Davis hit a long three to cut the Chateaugay lead to 43-37 with just over a minute to play but the Bulldogs sealed the deal by hitting five of six free throws in a space of 20 seconds.
Our girls played as hard as they could and you have to credit Chateaugay. They played tremendous defense all the way, said H-D Coach Steve Morrill.
We had a little defensive lapse at the start of the second half and they hit those three three-pointers.
Bridget Rust added four points to the Demons cause, Morgan Stott grabbed eight rebounds and Kasey ODonell passed out six assists.
Hammond 61, Harrisville 28: Nine players contributed to the Red Devils (18-1) in a third win over the Pirates (9-10). Alyssa Crosby delivered 15 points, Courtney Bova tallied 13 and Brianna Langtry scored eight for Hammond which led 26-2 after the first quarter. Macy Wilson added seven while Gabby Marshall and Emily Bush each scored five.
Kathleen Coloney provided 10 points for Harrisville and Janel Swanson added six.
Canton and St. Lawrence Central advanced to Section 10 Class C Boys Basketball Championship game next Saturday.
The Bears knocked off top seeded Tupper Lake 70-39 while St. Lawrence upended Brushton-Moira.
Canton 55, Tupper Lake 42: Bryant Wentworth scored 16 points to pace the Bears into the Class C finals.
Our focus was containing Mitch Keniston and I thought we did a great job of that, said Canton coach Bill Porter.
Keniston finished with nine to lead Tupper Lake.
SLC 70, B-M 39: Josh White tossed in 17 points and Jessie Greer added 14 to lift the Larries who received 12 from Cody Meacham and 11 from Zane Ramsdell. Adam Martin and Alex Burnett each scored nine for the Panthers (8-11).

WORTHINGTON – According to Worthington Public Utilities Manager Scott Hain, the static water level out at Well 26 is looking better, but he's not quite ready to lift the non-essential water ban yet.
The water level is measured each Friday out at Well 26, and a 2 foot gain was recorded this past week. Hain said that is good news, but not as much as hoped. While we've crept past the 16-year average level, he said, we're not yet prepared to lift the ban. With the holiday on Friday, Hain will have his crew check the levels again on Thursday before making any decisions.

The Fifty Year Swordby Mark Z. Danielewski
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
One Halloween night, at a party held at an East Texas ranch house, a local seamstress named Chintana finds herself thrown into the role of chaperone for five rambunctious orphans. Not surprisingly, the children's energies prove barely containable, even with promises of cake and a storyteller.
The storyteller, however, is not what anyone expects.
Looming and cloaked in dark, he entertains the orphans with a tale twisted out of vengeance and violence. He does not come empty-handed, either. At their feet he sets a long, narrow box sealed with five latches.
"I am a bad man with a very black heart," he warns them. "And it was only that badness and blackness which forced me to seek out what I have carried now for many years and brought this night for you."
An unsettling thing to say to anyone, especially to children. But as Chintana soon discovers, this is just the beginning. Her concerns only mount as the storyteller offers more and more menacing details about what consequences lie hidden within that long, narrow box.
To make matters worse, the orphans, one by one, lean forward and lift the latches...
"This first American edition of Danielewski's novella, published in a different form in the Netherlands in 2005, has the theatrical quality of a children's ghost story, complete with stitched-art illustrations (designed by the author), sweeping themes, and fairy-tale tropes. But the tale told by the Story Teller, hired to entertain the children, is nested in the all-too adult story of Chintana, a seamstress suffering through the aftermath of a painful divorce. The smallest daily rituals — opening a can of 'bitter tea leaves,' putting on shoes — require terrific force, and she has visions of inflicting violence. At her twin's urging, Chintana attends a Halloween party at an East Texas ranch, where she comes face-to-face with the source of her marriage's destruction and discovers the Story Teller's thirst for revenge. Danielewski (House of Leaves) knows that typographical landscaping can be a narrative tool. With rare exception, he unfurls his tale down one side of the page in quoted speech of different colors representing five orphans whose obscure connection is hinted at in an author's note; text is juxtaposed or shares space with illustrations. Tension builds visually; some scenes slows to a sentence per page (a trick the author's fans will recognize), vertically tearing the white space (readers resistant to textual hijinks may be frustrated). More of a narrative poem than a novella, this would be well suited to an oral reading and may be best thought of as an objet d'art that chillingly holds us accountable for our worst thoughts. Illus.

In this story set in East Texas, a local seamstress named Chintana finds herself responsible for five orphans who are not only captivated by a storyteller's tale of vengeance but by the long black box he sets before them. As midnight approaches, the box is opened, a fateful dare is made, and the children as well as Chintana come face to face with the consequences of a malice retold and now foretold.
The nationally best-selling author of House of Leaves and Only Revolutions has crafted a powerfully chilling novella — a ghost story for grownup readers.
Late one evening at a party at an East Texas ranch house, five orphans gather to hear a story about a quest for a terrible weapon. Before them lies a long black box with five latches. As the owner of the box settles into a curious tale of revenge, the children grow more and more captivated, even as we grow more and more afraid that a new crime may await them all, especially as clocks in Upshur County approach midnight.

Strap on your hardhats, dear readers, because today we're breaking ground on a completely new WhoWhatWear.com feature! We're pleased to unveil the latest addition to our regularly scheduled content-Top Five-a handpicked selection of current classics. Each month or so, we'll focus on a different key piece (starting with little leather jackets) you should have in your closet and show you our five favorites versions. Just think of the story as a general contractor for personal style, helping you to build a truly extraordinary wardrobe, bit by bit!
We decided to kick off our Top Five series with an item that's near and dear to our hearts (it was our first story after all), the leather jacket. This iconic piece has storied associations with everyone from James Dean to Alice Dellal, yet somehow remains delightfully universal and appealing. Though the little leather has become quite quotidian over the past few years (now worn with everything from denim to party dresses), it's also maintained its signature cool-a most difficult thing to do!
While your favorite trendsetters, like Ashley Olsen and Rachel Bilson, go for Rick Owens' Side Zip Leather Jacket ($2300, 212.627.7222), and the model pack is dedicated to Balenciaga's Quilted Leather Jacket ($5200), there are so many amazing, and attainable, styles on the market right now. After poring over look books and trying on enough little leather jackets to outfit an army of bikers, we finally settled on our five favorites (including one PETA-friendly faux leather option). Admittedly, many of these jackets are a little pricey, but just remember this should be an investment piece you wear for years. It's all about price per wear!
1. Grai Anouk Leather Jacket ($1070)
Though we love the quintessential leather jacket (bomber or moto in style), there's also much to be said for fashion-forward cuts too. The Anouk Jacket by Grai subtly tweaks the standard shapes and takes the little leather to the next level. It's just what we'd expect from a designer, Maya Yogev, who worked in Rick Owens' Parisian atelier. Undone, the Anouk Jacket relaxes into sumptuous folds and casually draped lines; zipped up, it has a futuristic sort of chic. Either way, it's gorgeous. Try INC International Concepts' Motorcycle Jacket ($249) for a similarly soft style.
2. Mike & Chris Kelvin Jacket ($836)
As we started to call in product, we immediately asked for options from Los Angeles' own lord and lady of coolly casual leather looks, Mike Gonzalez and Christine Park-Gonzalez. The husband and wife design duo are beloved by celebrities like Cameron Diaz and Keira Knightley (to only name two) for their incredibly wearable and versatile line, and with pieces like Kelvin Jacket, we completely understand the adoration. The Kelvin's double-breasted style looks fresh and the big loose collar is pretty amazing. Who could resist the oversized button details, not to mention the jacket's unusual and delightful wrinkled leather? Not us! If you adore the oversized buttons, also take a look at Joe's Jeans Myra Leather Jacket ($484) for another great take on the trend.
3. Simone by Katie Nehra Leather Jacket ($1335)
If you're in search of a classic motorcycle jacket with couture-like touches, you'll love this one from Simone by Katie Nehra. Our office went wild over the cut in particular: the high armhole and long narrow sleeve is both elongating and elegant. We also approve of the bold neon fuchsia lining, boxy yet feminine shape, and the snakeskin-embossed leather (the texture is nifty). It is available by special order, email email@example.com to snag one immediately. We also noticed that Delia's has its own version of the cropped moto, the Ashton Pleather Jacket
($69.50), available now at an amazing price.
4. Veda Domino Leather Jacket ($745)
One of our biggest dilemmas for this story was deciding which jacket from the up-and-coming line Veda we wanted to showcase. Though this is only designer Lyndsey Butler's second season, her mastery of little leathers is already astonishing. Though we loved many of her styles, the Domino Jacket is particularly perfect. It fits a bit like a blazer and is both lightweight and warm, thanks to a cozy lining. The snug sleeves also have a cozy sweater detail (love it) along the inside of the arm, so you get maximum movement and sleeve flexibility. On the off chance that basic black isn't your thing, the jacket also comes in an amazing graphite
color! If you like the unembellished look, but aren't ready to invest, you might love Kookai's Victoriana Leather Jacket ($323).
5. H&M Pleather Jacket ($49.95)
Leave it to H&M to make the ideal modern update to the traditional bomber jacket. While this style typically brings to mind something brown, super boxy, and slightly stiff, their version has a smartly snug fit and hits at the natural waist. It's a high-quality pleather, so the jacket's lightweight and allows you to move freely (no binding arms, thank goodness). The cuffs, collar, and waist all are accentuated with a heavy sweater material, ensuring you'll be warm on even the windiest days. If you'd prefer a leather version, check out Young Fabulous & Broke's Bomber Jacket ($370), which is also very cute!

Phase-Out of Mercury Thermometers Used in Industrial and Laboratory Settings
Revising ASTM Standards
With EPA's help, ASTM has updated multiple ASTM standards to approve the use of mercury-free alternatives for temperature measurement. View a list of the updated ASTM standards (PDF) (11 pp, 363 KB, about PDF)
Mercury use in products can lead to releases to the environment through the manufacturing of the products; via spills and breakage; and during the recycling, collection and disposal of mercury-containing products.
As part of a broader initiative to reduce the use of mercury in products, EPA is working with stakeholders to reduce the use of mercury-containing non-fever thermometers in industrial and commercial settings. Measurement and control devices, including glass non-fever thermometers, found in industrial and laboratory settings represent a major use category for mercury-containing products, but in many cases effective non-mercury alternative products exist.
EPA is examining ways to transition to mercury-free alternatives both within EPA and outside of the Agency. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which is working with EPA on this effort, announced on February 2, 2011 that it will no longer calibrate mercury-in-glass thermometers for traceability purposes beginning on March 1, 2011.
Information about the Phase-Out of Mercury Thermometers Used in Industrial and Laboratory Settings
- Phase-out main page
- Selecting alternatives
- User Friendly Guide on the Replacement of Mercury Thermometers (PDF) (36 pp, 1.26 MB, About PDF)
- Guide for Federal Agencies on Replacing Mercury-Containing Non-Fever Thermometers (PDF) (16 pp, 404 KB, About PDF)
- Tutorial videos on alternatives, thermometry, traceability and calibration
- Maintaining traceability
In January 2012, EPA issued a final rule incorporating updated ASTM International (ASTM) standards into EPA regulations (PDF) (11 pp, 204 K). These changes provide flexibility to use alternatives to mercury-containing thermometers. The rule applies to certain regulations pertaining to: (a) petroleum refining, (b) power generation, and (c) polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) waste disposal.
On this page:
and Answers about Phasing-Out Industrial Mercury-Containing
Why are mercury thermometers being replaced?
Mercury is well documented as a toxic, environmentally-persistent substance. Several states prohibit the sale of mercury-containing thermometers.
Will the replacement of mercury thermometers be problematic?
For most applications, alternatives to mercury-containing thermometers are available. However, there are certain applications where the use of alternatives to mercury-containing thermometers is more difficult, such as the use of thermometers in high temperature devices such as autoclaves (where alternatives to mercury are not commonly used).
The following document provides a compilation of guidance on the use of alternatives to mercury-containing thermometers.
What types of non-mercury-containing thermometers are currently available?
There are several types of non-mercury-containing thermometers, including both liquid-in-glass and electronic digital thermometers. An example of an electronic digital thermometer is the platinum resistance thermometer. Others include the thermistor and the thermocouple. Non-mercury organic-liquid-filled-glass thermometers are also a replacement for mercury thermometers.
Read more about selecting alternatives to mercury-filled thermometers.
Are non-mercury-containing thermometers as accurate as mercury-containing thermometers?
The non-mercury platinum resistance thermometer is as accurate as mercury-containing thermometers through a wide temperature range. Non-mercury thermistors are accurate but have a limited temperature range. Non-mercury thermocouples are not as accurate as resistance thermometers or thermistors but are widely used because of their durability. Non-mercury liquid-in-glass thermometers are not as accurate and are typically used when applications call for modest uncertainty requirements.
Are non-mercury-containing thermometers as durable as mercury-containing thermometers?
Like a mercury-containing thermometer, the platinum resistance thermometer is sensitive to mechanical shock. Thermistors are less sensitive and thermocouples are very durable. Non-mercury liquid-in-glass thermometers are as durable as mercury liquid-in-glass thermometers.
Are alternative thermometers more expensive than mercury-containing thermometers?
Electronic thermometers are typically more expensive than mercury-containing thermometers. However, using non-mercury-containing thermometers avoids the potential cost of mercury spill clean-up and disposal.
Are non-mercury-containing thermometers National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable?
Yes, if:
- An unbroken chain of measurements back to NIST standards is maintained; and
- Each step of the chain has known and documented uncertainties; and
- There is a system to ensure that the thermometers and other equipment used remains accurate between calibrations.
Barriers to Replacement of Mercury Thermometers
Are there Federal and State regulations which require the use of mercury thermometers?
Yes, some Federal and State regulations contain requirements to use mercury thermometers either directly or through citations of standards and methods from organizations such as ASTM International and the American Petroleum Institute (API).
With regulations requiring the use of mercury thermometers, how will the industrial and commercial community be able to reduce the use of mercury thermometers?
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking steps to revise its regulations to allow non-mercury alternative thermometers. In addition, EPA is working with ASTM International and the API to revise their standards to include flexibility allowing non-mercury alternatives.
Is there a technical basis for requiring the use of mercury thermometers?
No. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has concluded that there are no fundamental barriers to the replacement of mercury thermometers. NIST and EPA are collaborating to resolve difficulties in using alternative thermometers in certain elevated temperature applications, such as autoclave operations and asphalt processing.
Disposal of Industrial Mercury Thermometers
How and where do I dispose of an industrial mercury-containing thermometer?
For industrial thermometers, you may:
- Ship them through a hazardous waste transporter to a mercury recycling facility,
- Directly ship them as "universal waste" to a mercury recycling facility, or
- Small businesses may be able to dispose of them at a local collection event, collection facility, or destination facilities for "universal waste."
Contact your state hazardous waste authority for information on state regulations that may apply to you, as these regulations vary by state (including the definition of universal waste). State hazardous waste authorities can also help you locate a mercury-containing device recycling facility. You may also locate a mercury-containing device recycling facility online that is nearest you by searching Earth911.com .
If a thermometer breaks, extra steps are needed to avoid harmful exposure to mercury. Read more about proper mercury cleanup and disposal.
EPA's Efforts to Phase-Out Mercury Non-Fever Thermometers
Eliminating Mercury in EPA Labs. EPA has numerous laboratories throughout the United States and contracts with many more. EPA is working to reduce overall use of hazardous chemicals, including mercury, in accordance with Executive Order 13148 (PDF) (14 pp, 257 KB, About PDF) (April 21, 2000). EPA issued a memorandum on September 30, 2008, calling for the phase-out of all mercury-containing non-fever thermometers used in EPA laboratories (PDF) (4 pp, 1.4 MB, about PDF). In addition, EPA's Office of Research and Development issued an internal directive to eventually eliminate all mercury thermometers within the office. Since initiating the program, EPA labs removed and safely disposed of approximately 2,000 mercury-containing non-fever thermometers. EPA has also developed a Guide for Federal Agencies on Replacing Mercury-Containing Non-Fever Thermometers (PDF) (16 pp, 404 KB, About PDF) for other federal agencies to use when developing their own phase-out programs.
Removing Barriers in EPA Regulations and Test Methods. After assessing its own regulations and test methods to locate references to mercury thermometers, EPA in January 2012 updated such references to allow the use of alternatives to mercury-containing thermometers (PDF) (11 pp, 204 K, about PDF). The final rule incorporated ASTM Standards D5865-10, D445-09, and D93-09 in certain regulations that cover petroleum refining, power generation and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) waste disposal. The proposal for this rule was issued in January 2011 (PDF) (11 pp, 178K, about PDF).
Revising ASTM Standards. EPA is helping ASTM to identify industrial standards and test methods that require the use of glass non-fever thermometers containing mercury to determine whether the use of alternatives is feasible. Read more about ASTM's standards review effort.
To date, multiple ASTM standards have been updated to approve the use of mercury-free alternatives for temperature measurement. View a list of the updated ASTM standards (PDF) (11 pp, 363 KB, about PDF).
- Pilot Project with American Petroleum Institute. EPA is collaborating with the American Petroleum Institute (API) to test non-mercury thermometers in petroleum fuel handling facilities. These tests will provide API with data on the potential for mercury-free alternatives to replace mercury-containing thermometers in these types of facilities. In particular, the pilot will examine the accuracy, durability, and temperature range of mercury-free thermometers in the field.
Other Organizations' Phase-Out Activities
Promoting Alternatives to Mercury-in-Glass Thermometer. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is working to identify and evaluate the effectiveness of alternatives to mercury-containing thermometers. Read an article written by NIST scientists on alternatives to mercury thermometers.
Interstate Mercury Education & Reduction Clearinghouse (IMERC). Part of the Northeast Waste Management Officials Association, IMERC serves as a single point of contact for information on mercury-containing products and member state programs for mercury education and reduction. The group also provides technical and programmatic assistance to states with mercury legislation. Read more about IMERC's activities.
Revision of "Standard Methods for Examination of Water and Wastewater." A joint publication of the American Public Health Association, the American Water Works Association, and the Water Environment Federation; Standard Methods is a reference document for water and wastewater analysis techniques. Segments of Standard Methods that require the use of mercury-in-glass thermometers are being revised to encourage the use of alternative thermometers. Revisions to Part 2000, Physical and Aggregate Properties, are currently under review. Part 9020, Quality Assurance/Quality Control (under Part 9000, Microbiological Examination of the Standard Methods, 21st Edition), has been updated. The revision suggests that readers abstain, where possible, from using mercury-filled thermometers to avoid potential release of mercury into the environment when a thermometer is broken. The updated version is available to subscribers of Standard Methods and for purchase by others on the Standard Methods' website.
Tutorial Videos
EPA and the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Thermometry Group developed the following tutorial videos that provide information on mercury-containing thermometer alternatives for industrial and laboratory settings. Along with showcasing the available mercury-free thermometers on the market today, the videos cover important thermometry concepts such as traceability and the proper calibration of thermometers.

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Women's Basketball team felt the cold from outside Flood Arena on Wednesday night and it affected their shooting in a 67-42 Midwest Conference loss to Ripon College.
The Bucs shot just 26% for the game, including 2-11 from three-point, in the defeat.
Beloit led 7-6 six minutes into the game before Ripon broke away with an 8-0 run over the next four minutes. The Bucs pulled back within 18-15 with 4:27 left in the half but the Red Hawks closed with a 10-4 run to lead 28-19 at the break.
RC came out of the lockerroom on fire with a 15-4 run over the first six-plus minutes of the second half to take control of the contest. Beloit got no closer than 18 points the rest of the way, the last time with 4:43 remaining at 57-39. Ripon's largest lead was 27 at 52-25 at the 10:24 mark of the second half.
Lana Wieseman was the lone Buccaneer in double figures with 17 points. Jenna Larsen added nine points and eight rebounds.
Beloit has some time to regroup, not playing again until next Tuesday at Lake Forest College. Tipoff with the Foresters is at 5:00 p.m.

"The mother ship of the Japanese whaling fleet left Shimonoseki Port yesterday for the Southern Ocean, where it is planning to hunt more than 1000 whales including 50 endangered fin whales and 50 threatened humpack whales. "It's that time of the year again unfortunately where the Japanese ignore the overwhelming world opinion on this matter and set out to kill whales in order to serve them up in restaurants.
There could be a small light at the end of the tunnel however and that is that the Japanese appetite for whales is decreasing. As whaling has not been carried out on a large basis for some considerable time, the habit of eating whale meat is something that the younger Japanese have not developed. The market for whale meat therefore is in decline.
Japanese whaling in the last 20 years or so has been described as "scientific" by the Japanese. The "science" has not been to discover anything about whale biology, but to test the whale populations for the purpose of ultimately resuming commercial whaling!
So they stopped commercial whaling - and began "scientific" whaling - to decide when to resume commercial whaling.
Japanese whaling has ALWAYS been commercial. It has been necessary for the whalers to keep delivering an annual catch to shops and restaurants in order not to allow the habit of eating whale meat to die out for their own commercial reasons.
