'90210' Premiere: College Life Comes With Lots of Changes (VIDEO)
'90210' (Tue., 8PM ET on The CW) got itself a couple of new showrunners this past summer, and it looks like the plan is to make it as much like a new show as possible. With the kids transitioning to college, it's a perfect time for a facelift, but this one included some abrupt changes from where we left things.
Probably the most abrupt was the about-face for Naomi herself. When we left her, she was pregnant and looking to make a go of it with Max. Suddenly, she's not pregnant after all, Max was too relieved and now she's single and ready to ogle a cowboy.
Austin -- what a clever name for a cowboy! -- was the shirtless guy Naomi's drooling over, but it looked like someone beat her to him by the end of the episode. He's a rich son, though, which means he can hang with the cool kids, but he comes with some trouble. His parents owned the mansion Naomi bought, and she got him into trouble for growing pot there after he tricked her into paying more for it.
So, suddenly Naomi's living in this big new mansion with Annie, Ivy and Raj and decided to throw a huge party. She's determined to be the big girl on campus and thought this will do it, so hopefully this mansion is at least near the campus. Otherwise, she's just the loud partygirl the neighbors have already called the cops on.
By the time the raid happened, Austin was at the party -- naked, for some reason -- and Naomi only then decided it's time to throw out the pot ... by tossing it into the fire. After she ratted him out to his parents for the pot, Austin returned the favor by saying it was hers, so Naomi got arrested. That's not exactly an even swap there, cowboy.
But Austin's going to be sticking around, as he's Dixon's new roommate. The new showrunners had Navid play a practical joke on him by changing his gender on his dorm application, so now he has no place to stay in college. A point rendered almost immediately moot when he decided to abandon his college aspirations and focus on his music career anyway. Apparently the execs are worried that too many of these kids actually in college will be boring.
Adrianna returned as well, and while she didn't find forgiveness in Silver, she did find Austin's shirt to wear after she bedded him at Dixon's beach house. Silver and Navid, meanwhile, took in Navid's sister so the show will have a surly, ungrateful, wild high school girl again. And then there's Ivy and Raj, who look too sweet. Nothing's changed yet for them, but they do have Raj looking pretty sick and weak.
The episode wrapped with possibly the most bizarre new direction. Liam came back with a fat check from his summer of fishing, but rather than talk to Annie he decided instead to propose to her ... twice! Neither time worked, so he drowned his sorrows at a tiki bar on the beach, and then apparently bought it.
I know these actors all look like they're in their 20s, but aren't the characters still teenagers? How did he buy a bar?
If you're wondering about Teddy, he's apparently too boring for the new showrunners, so his storyline is being shunted to the side before he's written out altogether. This week he had a few scenes lamenting telling his father he's gay, and then did it in a voicemail while riding on a plane. The actor is under contract for four more episodes, but if his scenes are going to be as "meaty" as this one, why even bother?

Sold into slavery after her family was brutally murdered, Tavish has spent all her life in a seedy brothel. Arousal is a commodity to be bought and sold, and falling in love always comes with a price tag attached. Those are the rules, until her world collides with a Bondsman named Xave.
Xavier Kovuchenko has made a career of tracking the deadliest criminals all over the known universe. His cold, methodical style leaves no room for relationships. But when Xave's latest job lands him with Tavish for a partner, everything changes. His solitary existence is suddenly full to bursting with pleasure--from the hottest sex he's ever experienced fueled by an insatiable lust that goes both ways.
Tavish is a walking contradiction, hot one minute and cold the next, and she's driving Xave crazy. But when their pasts collide and the dust settles, he's got to decide whether to let go and move on or grab the dagger by the tail and hang on for the ride.

If you were disappointed that your country missed out on the initial iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c launches, we have good news: you can (probably) buy the smartphones today. As promised, Apple has released both devices in 35 more countries, including Russia, South Korea and wide swaths of Europe. There hasn't been quite as much fanfare as there was in September, however. Our colleagues at Engadget Chinese covered the launch in Taiwan, and noticed that retail demand was mixed -- since many customers could pre-order their iPhones, only some stores had long queues. Those who haven't yet seen the new iPhones won't have to wait long, at least. Apple plans to ship the 5s and 5c to 16 more countries on November 1st, and the handsets should reach 100 nations by December.

Michaela Stenchever gazed in bewilderment at a city bus schedule at the Santa Rosa Transit Mall Monday afternoon.
The 17-year-old was trying to make her way to Empire College to meet a friend, and wasn't sure what bus line to take or what time it would arrive.
After fiddling with her smartphone in vain for the answers, the local teen welcomed news that CityBus is launching a cellphone app with riders like her in mind.
"That would be really helpful to me right now," an exasperated Stenchever said of the city's new real-time bus tracking software, which went live this week.
Called My Santa Rosa CityBus, the program aims to make it easier for bus riders to access real-time arrival and departure information to better plan their rides.
"This really puts the power back in the hands of the rider," said Joy Gipson, marketing and outreach coordinator for CityBus.
All 34 city buses have been outfitted with GPS tracking devices and transmit their location every few seconds. That information is fed into a software program that riders can access in the way most convenient to them.
There's an iPhone app, a mobile website for other smartphone users, and a regular website for desktops. Riders can also set up email alerts to tell them whether their bus in on time or running behind schedule. They can also use their phones to get an estimated arrival time texted to them in seconds.
"When things slow down, it's important for people to know, 'Do I have 2 minutes or do I have 20 minutes?'" Gipson said.
The iPhone app and interactive website allow users to select the routes they care about, generating a color-coded map with icons showing the precise location of the buses.

Rome Libertines too Soft?
Whenever i try to butter i lean back far but my nose doesnt come up. Im using the libertines and they feel good but almost too soft anyone else have this problem>?
what kind of board are you using?
I have em with burton fix and I can manual pretty easily.
To OP: Buttering on your back foot is harder than on your front foot, you need to lean back and pull up your nose with your front knee.
I have a quick question about these boots as well. I just bought a pair today and sized down a full size (size 9 shoe so size 8 boot) and they boots are fairly tight (toes almost scrunched) on me without having ridden them.
My question is will they pack out enough to be comfortable or will they not stretch out enough? I ride about 10 times a year, but hike my backyard setup whenever I can, like every other day. I also like a medium flex boot, nothing too noodley. I know the libertines are sort of soft but if I am wearing a smaller size will it really matter?
They feel great when riding i'm using a rome graft which feels pretty good with them
I've used these boots about 8 times this season and I think they packed out a little bit but not too much.
I think it depends whether your toes feel comfortable or not. Does it hurt your toes during or after a session? If so then I think you should get 8.5 or 9.
Fitzy, if you haven't, try strapping the toe binding more towards the top of the foot
The other problem that I'm having is that when they pack out they may be too soft. I like a stiffer than softer feeling when Im controlling my board, so will the libertines even be the right boot anyways? Thanks in advance for your help.

RISHON LEZION, Israel - Israel will honor the Philippines and its people for sheltering some 1,200 Jews who fled the Nazi regime in the Second World War.
On June 21st, a monument to the Philippines will be unveiled in the Rishon LeZion Holocaust Park near Tel Aviv.
The monument, titled "Open Doors," is designed with three steel doors and marble floor tiles to honor the "courage, hospitality and determination" of the Philippines, which sheltered the refugees, read a statement on the Israeli Embassy Web site.
"The warm hospitality of the Filipino people undoubtedly shed light on one of the darkest and most difficult periods in Jewish history," the embassy said.
The idea for the monument came from a book written by Holocaust survivor Frank Ephraim, entitled "Escape to Manila," published in 2003.
In his book, Ephraim describes his family's pilgrimage, along with 35 other Jewish refugees, to the Philippines, a U.S. commonwealth at the time, which was later captured by the Japanese.
Ephraim was eight years old when his parents fled to the Philippines from Berlin in 1939 and were taken in by Filipino President Manuel Quezon.
Though the Philippines were prepared to receive 10,000 Jewish refugees a year, only 1,200 European Jews made it to Manila.
When U.S. troops liberated the Philippine capital in 1945, 67 Jewish refugees were among the 100,000 Filipino residents killed in the massive bombing that liberated Manila from the Japanese.
Manila's only synagogue was destroyed in the fighting.

New Lawsuits in High School Football Deaths
Follow @GretchenMargAugust 1, 2012, 2:42 pm ET
Last summer, Isaiah Laurencin and Don'terio J. Searcy, two high school football players, died after practicing in high temperatures. Now, their families intend to sue their respective school districts, claiming intense practice conditions and pressure to perform directly led to the boys' deaths.
Laurencin attended Miramar High School in Florida, and died after preseason drills. According to his autopsy, he had sickle cell trait anemia, which can make someone more susceptible to heatstroke. There was also evidence he had hypertension and asthma.
Searcy, who attended Fitzgerald High School in Georgia, collapsed while attending a summer football camp run by the school. He had been practicing three times a day, and despite passing out on Aug. 1, returned to practice the next day. He died on Aug. 2.
"There should never, ever be a person die from exertional heatstroke because it's 100 percent survivable," Dr. Doug Casa told FRONTLINE in 2010 for our film Football High. Casa is the director of the Korey Stringer Institute, named for the Minnesota Vikings' offensive lineman who died of heatstroke in 2001. "The key to surviving an exertional heat stroke is what you do in the first five to 10 minutes," he explains. "How many minutes are you above this critical threshold for cell damage will impact if the athlete lives or dies."
Over the past 20 years, 40 high school football players have died after suffering heatstroke, according to the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research. Following Searcy's death, Georgia implemented new rules addressing heat stroke — which include limits on how many times a day, and how many days in a row teams can practice, to better acclimate athletes to high temperatures. But Florida still leaves decisions up to individual parents and players. Both schools being sued declined to give a comment to the Times, citing the ongoing litigation.
In Football High, FRONTLINE profiled two high school football players in Arkansas who suffered from heatstroke. One, 16-year-old Tyler Davenport, died. The other, Will James, survived, largely due to what happened during those critical five to 10 minutes Casa describes. Watch their stories, and read more about heatstroke and how you can prevent it.
"Please Don't Let This Happen to Someone Else's Son"
In an moving letter, the parents of Tyler Davenport, tell their son's story to FRONTLINE. "We told Tyler that if he was too tired to fight any longer that it was okay. We told him we were so proud of him for fighting as long as he could. We asked him if he was tired would he squeeze our hands. He did. On the early morning of October 12th, Tyler lost his battle with heatstroke, but became a true warrior in our eyes."

I'm a great believer in beauty products that save time and clear up space in your makeup bag – not that I EVER have space because I'm also a great believer in packing for the what ifs in life. Like what if I get invited to a last minute dinner with Prince Harry and need to change up my makeup? OBVIOUSLY it requires me carrying a full bottle of foundation, eye shadows, five different lipsticks, two blushes, a highlighter, two concealers, and a set of brushes, right?
I'll spare you the details of my excessive makeup bag and focus on something that is intended to making your life easier while providing a flush of color. Created exclusively for Sephora and available now are blush and bronzer duos from NARS that pairs Laguna Bronzer with one of four best-selling cheek shades (Desire, Oasis, Orgasm, and Deep Throat)
aren't they pretty?
Pictured above are three of the four and I'm pretty sure we all know which one I'm in love with. It's a suprise to absolutely no one that the Desire / Laguna combo is my clear favorite. Desire is one of my many favorite blushes by NARS as it's a bright pink blush that leaves a slight baby doll flush on my brown skin.
Deep Throat (sheer pink) and Oasis (pinky champagne) round out the two above with the fourth duo consisting of the cult classic Orgasm.
The duos are available at Sephora for $41 (cheaper than buying them separately).
Disclosure: I received samples from the brand.

Arris' Pizza is located right next to Kremer's, which is a full bar and offers the same menu in a more reserved and quiet setting. / Mark Schiefelbein / For the News-Leader
We are always looking for our next pizza fix, and when Ian Hanna offered us a fresh look at local favorite Arris', we jumped at the chance to invite him to Dine on our Dime.
Ian's Take
Ian and I finally get together for dinner. Looking over the menu before he arrives, I realize it would be fairly hard to spend too much money here. Prices are reasonable and the aroma is enticing.
Ian arrives and fills me in on the differences between Springfield's Arris' and the original Jefferson City location. Here, the dining room is large and wide with an easily visible eye-line to the kitchen and prep area. The place is alive with families and celebrations tonight.
"The one in Jeff City is much darker and cloistered off," Hanna says. "This one has a spacious feel."
Hanna's childhood was filled with trips to that original Arris' and he remembers the fridge containing enticing leftover gyros. When he got older, he would frequent the buffet and hang out there, spending his own money.
"I would order a straight pizza," Hanna says. "Like cheese and pepperoni or something I know I would enjoy."
Looking over the menu, we decide to try the Venus in tribute to those early memories. Topped with gyro meat, tomatoes and red onion, it promises to be a departure from pepperoni, yet retain a nostalgic quality for Hanna.
"It's a really good balance of toppings and cheese and crust." Hanna says. "I hate to tell you, Sandy, but if you have one pizza here, you'll have another."
Sandy's Turn
The pie arrives with a wonderful steamy aroma and pools of molten cheese tinted red from the tomatoes. It is square cut and the distribution of toppings is precise, it strikes me as old-fashioned in that classic way, back when pizza was a treat, not a freezer-aisle commodity and after-school staple. This certainly harks back to an age when most people's first pizza had happened after the age of 10.
"I love how they balance out the toppings," Hanna says. "Each slice has a bite and you can really taste them."
The pizza is a checkerboard with each piece sporting its own tiny chunk of gyro meat. He's right, there is quite a bit of balance at work here.
The first thing you notice is the firm crust and the blend of sauce and cheese, but with the Venus, that is accented by bursts of sweet onion and tomato followed by the rich savory notes of the meat. In this case, the flavor is spiced but not hot, like a mild sausage. It's a unique treat.
It's worth the trip for a pie alone, but the menu offers lots of choices for the non-pizza lovers as well. They have sandwiches, Italian dishes and gyros, of course.
It's a refreshing alternative to fast-food pizza to find a pie in the classic style in Springfield. I ask Ian how he found it. Turns out he's been living down here for years and didn't even know it existed. They clued him in when he was at the one in Jefferson City.
It's amazing what you'll find waiting right under your nose.
The dish, the restaurant
For Tani Kremer the journey started 12 years ago when she and her husband went into business and opened their franchise with her brother. For original founder Arris Pardalis, the journey began in 1958 when he opened the first location in Jefferson City.
"Back in the day, he came over from Greece and his relatives opened pizza places all over Missouri."
Kremer says you could find Pardalis family pizzerias in Columbia, Mexico and Rolla. The menus were simple. The original Arris' had only a couple of pizza selections; the Kremers expanded that to 18, and, like the Venus, each one features another blend of flavors.
"I love the Penn's," Kremer says. "It features bleu cheese, Canadian bacon, roasted garlic and pineapple. The Sweet and Sassy is really good as well."
Kremer admits to a weakness for anything with bleu cheese, and she stresses the pizza isn't covered. They use just enough to to give the dish character.
The Penn's is actually named after longtime regulars Debbie and Jim Penn. It makes this dining veteran wonder how often you have to eat someplace to get naming rights on the menu.
Another nice touch is Kremer's next door. With a full bar and a 21-and-up policy, you can get the same menu in a more reserved and quiet setting. That sounds like a winning date-night combination.
I ask her about the classic styling on the pies and she tells me it is by design.
"You don't want too many things because you want to taste each thing," Kremer says. "You want to taste the sauce and want to taste the crust."
It's a simple taste truth made real in every pie at Arris'.

Yogurt Cheese
This is one of my favorite cheeses from Trader Joes. It comes sliced in plain and jalapeno flavor (never had the latter) and has a slightly sour (in a good way!) taste, like sour cream. It's hard to explain, but it is definitely worth a try. I am not sure if they sell it in every store. I have two Trader Joes near me and one carries the plain one and one carries the jalapeno one. Makes a mean grilled cheese.

(Reuters) - Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal said the de facto recognition of a sovereign Palestinian state won by his rival Mahmoud Abbas should be seen alongside Gaza's latest conflict with Israel as a single, bold strategy that could empower all Palestinians.
Meshaal said the short war which claimed 162 Palestinian lives and five Israelis was concluded on terms set by the Palestinian Islamist movement and ended its isolation, creating a new mood that could lead to reconciliation with Abbas's Fatah.
In an interview with Reuters in Doha, he compared Israel's mood of dejection with the jubilation of Palestinians in Gaza and across the Israeli-occupied West Bank led by Abbas, insisting that "for the first time a ceasefire was achieved on conditions set by Hamas, and in the presence of the Americans".
Meshaal strongly backed the diplomatic initiative by Palestinian Authority President Abbas to upgrade Palestinian status at the United Nations to observer state which the General assembly endorsed on Thursday in New York.
Diplomatically, this puts the stateless Palestinians on a par with the Holy See, but politically it would help "unify Palestinian national efforts" as part of the reconciliation process with Abbas's nationalist Fatah movement, Meshaal said.
"I told Abou Mazen (Abbas) we want this move to be part of a national Palestinian strategy" that includes "the (armed) resistance which excelled in Gaza and gave an example of the ability of the Palestinian people to resist and steadfastly confront the occupier", a confident Meshaal said.
The coming to power of Hamas allies in the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, which played the key role in brokering the recent ceasefire, and "the defeat of the enemy in Gaza" have created a new environment that should allow Palestinians to form a unity government.
"I am optimistic", Meshaal said, "there is a new mood that allows us to achieve reconciliation". Dressed in a black suit and an open neck shirt, he was speaking at a hotel in Doha, where he has lived since leaving Syria earlier this year.
"When we reconcile, unite and end the divisions and have one political marja'eya (the Islamic word for leadership) and one political system, then we will be stronger and better and we can achieve more, and our response to the Israeli aggression in all its forms will be better", the Hamas politburo leader said.
The Fatah controlled PA in the West Bank was expelled from Gaza after Hamas won a bloody civil war in 2007, after emerging as the victors in the 2006 Palestinian general elections.
Meshaal, who survived a Mossad assassination attempt in Amman in 1997 when Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was last in power, has been reenergized politically by the Arab Spring uprisings that have swept the region and installed a string of sympathetic Islamist leaders.
When he appeared alongside President Mohamed Mursi of Egypt in Cairo after the ceasefire, his confident and relaxed body language would have confused any casual observer as to which one of them was the leader of Egypt.
Gaza, long subject to an Israeli military and economic blockade, is breaking out of its isolation, with recent high level visits from Qatar, Turkey, Egypt and the Arab League.
"There is a new Arab presence, there is a different kind of support. Gaza did not seem isolated in this war", he said, as it was in the devastating 2008-09 conflict with Israel.
Meshaal, 56, said he had no intention to continue as Hamas leader despite calls on him "internally and externally" to carry on. The group, whose 1988 charter formally calls for the destruction of Israel, has been holding a leadership ballot for several months to decide who will succeed Meshaal.
Hamas ambivalence towards the Palestinian Authority, which it has sometimes derided as an Israeli subsidiary, mirrors its ambiguity on the future shape of a Palestinian state.
Under Meshaal's leadership, the Islamists have evolved in an uneasy balance between maximalist and pragmatism - refusing to renounce pre-1948 "Palestine", but willing to accept de facto a state on the lands Israel captured in the 1967 Six Day War - the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza.
"As for the Palestinian state we believe it (should be) on all our Palestinian land," but there was a wish to unify the Palestinian and Arab positions on a common program. Hamas accepted establishing a state on the '67 borders, with Jerusalem as its capital, and the right of return (of refugees) preserved. "We accepted it but not at the expense of recognizing Israel or giving away Palestinian rights but as a common factor."
Meshaal said Israel would give nothing in negotiations unless Palestinians were demonstrably strong on the ground.
"Any Palestinian who wants a Palestinian state, even along the 67 borders, has to know that the road to that is (armed) struggle and exerting all forms of Arab and Palestinian pressure on the Israeli enemy".
"Negotiating without powerful cards on the ground has no meaning," said Meshaal. "It will turn into begging. This enemy doesn't give anything unless under pressure".
Abbas had a diplomatic moment in the sun at the U.N. on Thursday, but nothing else to show for a negotiating strategy that has seen successive Israeli governments expanding Jewish settlements on the West Bank and in East Jerusalem, with little prospect remaining of a viable Palestinian state.
Some analysts see this pushing Fatah and Hamas together.
The Hamas leader has also won over some non-Islamists by coming out strongly against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's attempt to crush the 20-months long uprising against his rule.
Relations with non-Arab Shi'ite Iran, a main financier and supplier of arms to Hamas, also suffered according to Meshaal.
"No doubt, Iran supported us for a long time and its support was big," said Meshaal, who peppers his arguments with verses from the Koran or classical poetry. "We have clearly differed with Iran over Syria and there is no doubt that the Syrian crisis has affected our relations with Iran."
Meshaal voiced gratitude to Iran and Syria for hosting him for many years when the group was shunned as a "terrorist" organization by the U.S. and Israel, but said it could not compromise its principles.
"We don't interfere in other people's affairs, but we cannot support any regime or leader who is locked in a bloody battle with his own people," he said.
Born in Silwad near the West Bank city of Ramallah, Meshaal has steered Hamas through the upheaval unleashed by the Arab Spring uprisings, deploying what associates describe as deft diplomatic skills to navigate the turbulence.
The Hamas leader in exile said he would pay a historic visit to the Gaza strip next week, after years in exile, to mark the Islamist's movement 25th anniversary. "I will be returning to my country. This is my dream."
Asked if he was worried Israel might try to assassinate him, he said: "God is my main guarantor and protector. Only rely on God, nobody dies before his time is up."

The Issue: Human health related to uranium mining.
The Area: Vicinity around State Highway Route 566 and intersection with the Puerco River which is located approximately 17 miles northeast of Gallup, McKinley County, New Mexico.
The Inhabitants: Approximately 250 to 500 predominantly Navajo people live within two miles of the area. This area includes the Navajo Nation's Pinedale, Church Rock, Coyote Canyon, Standing Rock, Nahodishgish Chapters and the residences along Route 566 south of the mill site. The Red Water Pond Road Community lies between the Northeast Church Rock Mine and the Quivira Church Rock I Mine, just west of the Pipeline Canyon Road.
United Nuclear Corporation Mill Superfund Site - Section 2 contains the former uranium ore processing mill facilities and a byproduct material (tailings) disposal site which cover about 25 and 100 acres, respectively. Section 36 adjoins the southern border of the Navajo Reservation.
Two underground uranium mines were formerly operated in the vicinity of the Site. UNC operated the former Northeast Church Rock (NECR) mine, which is located to the northwest and adjacent to the Site, and Quivira (formerly Kerr-McGee) operated a mine to the north of the Site (Figure 2).
The UNC uranium mill was operated from 1977 to 1982. Uranium ore was processed at the facility using a combination of crushing, grinding, and acid-leach solvent extraction methods. The milling operation produced acidic slurry of ground rock and fluid (tailings) that was pumped into the tailings impoundments, into which an estimated 3.5 million tons of tailings were disposed.
Uranium Mines in the Area (see Figure 1):
Nearby Uranium Mines
Northeast Church Rock Mine (NECR) — is a former uranium mine that operated from 1967 to 1982. Most of the 125-acre mine permit area is held in trust for the Navajo Nation by the United States Government. Approximately 40 acres are patented mining claim land owned by the United Nuclear Corporation (UNC). There is a small community of residents that live immediately next to the mine site on the Navajo reservation, downstream and downwind of the waste piles. The residents graze sheep, cattle and horses, and collect herbs around the area. Due to the proximity of the residents to the mine site, this mine was identified as the highest priority for cleanup by US EPA and Navajo Nation EPA of over 500 abandoned uranium mines on the Navajo Nation.
The uranium ore body is located up to 1,800 feet below grade at the NECR Mine Site. Therefore, the mining was conducted over 1,000 feet below the ground surface accessed through two main underground shafts. Other mining features included several vent holes, support buildings, roads and water extraction wells and treatment facilities. Portions of the site are located within an arroyo. Approximately 3.5 million tons of uranium ore from the UNC mine was processed at the adjacent UNC Mill Site, located on private property across Highway 566.
Quivira Mines (Quivira Church Rock I and Quivira Church Rock IE) - are two former uranium mines that were operated by Kerr McGee Corporation (Kerr McGee) from 1974-1986. Rio Algom Mining LLC (RAML) received the property in 1985 and relinquished the lease in 1987. The Quivira mine areas contain abandoned uranium mines and are considered to be the major sources of the soil contamination at the Site. All the uranium ore from the mines, approximately five-million pounds, was processed at the Quivira Mining Corporation (QMC) Ambrosia Lake Mill located in Grants, New Mexico.

The surface reclamation actions performed by UNC under the direction and oversight of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) at the Site between 1988 and 1996 have stabilized the mill tailings and have protected the Rio Puerco from contamination spills like the one that occurred in 1979.

NPL Final Date: 9/08/83
|The Site is located 17 miles northeast of Gallup, New Mexico and on the southern border of the Navajo Indian Reservation.
|The surrounding area is sparsely populated, with the nearest residence located 1.5 miles north of the Site.
The Site includes a former uranium ore processing mill and tailings disposal area, which covers about 25 and 100 acres, respectively. The tailings disposal area is subdivided into three cells by dikes. The cells are identified as the South Cell, Central Cell, and North Cell. The tailings cells have been capped with an interim radon barrier cover as part of the reclamation activities directed by the NRC. Two evaporation ponds have been constructed on top of the cells as part of the EPA's ground-water remedy.
The surrounding lands include Indian Tribal Land, Indian Allotment Land and UNC-owned property. The land use near the Site is primarily grazing for sheep, cattle and horses. It is noted that the Ft. Defiance Housing Corporation, in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Navajo Housing Authority, is planning to develop a 1000-unit housing complex, called the Springstead Estates Project, in the vicinity of Springstead (seven miles to the southwest of the Site).
Four water wells are within a 4-mile radius, the nearest being 1.7 miles northeast of the Site; however, nearby residents generally have used bottled water for drinking since the well water has a bad taste.
Hydrogeology: Three shallow water-bearing units beneath the Site were significantly recharged by mine water that was discharged into a local arroyo prior to and during Site milling operations. They are Zone 1 and Zone 3 of the Upper Gallup Sandstone Formations and the shallow alluvium (referred to as the Southwest Alluvium). These recharged units were then contaminated by tailings seepage from the Site. Underlying the Upper Gallup Sandstone Formation is the Mancos Shale. The Mancos Shale acts as an aquitard to prevent or retard the downward migration of contamination.
|Principal pollutants:
Acidic mill tailings, total dissolved solids, sulfate, thorium, radium, aluminum, ammonia, and iron.
Proposed Plan
Surface Soil Operable Unit Proposed Plan released July 20, 2012.
Preferred Alternative: On-Site Disposal at the UNC Site within the Tailings Disposal Area.
Public Comment Period: July 20, 2012 through September 21, 2012.

Navajo Nation Superfund Office
Record of Decision
EPA signed the ROD on September 30, 1988.
- The selected remedy included:
- Containment and removal of contaminated ground water in the Southwest Alluvium and Zones 1 and 3 of the Upper Gallup Sandstone utilizing existing and additional wells.
- Evaporation of ground water removed from aquifers using evaporation ponds supplemented with mist or spray systems to enhance the rate of evaporation.
- Implementation of a monitoring program to detect any increases in the areal extent, or concentration of ground water contamination at, and outside of, the boundary of the tailings disposal area.
- Implementation of a performance monitoring and evaluation program to determine water levels and contaminant reductions in each aquifer, and the extent and duration of pumping actually required outside the tailings disposal area.
Ready-for-Reuse Determination
A Ready-for-Reuse Determination has not been made. The Site will be turned over to the Department of Energy for long-term care and monitoring of the tailings cells following closure.

1990-11-18 Chris Eubank w rsc 9 Nigel Benn, National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, England - WBO
1990-11-18 Chris Eubank w rsc 9 Nigel Benn, National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, England - WBO. Referee: Richard Steele. In one of the most exciting fights ever seen in a British ring, Benn (159¼) defended his title against his fellow Brit, Eubank (159½), and was shorn of his crown with five seconds of the ninth round remaining. It had been a brutal affair that saw Eubank land the better shot to win the opening two rounds before Benn came back to take the next two despite having to take some damaging punches in the process. Unfortunately for Benn his left eye was almost closed by the fifth and he began to be picked off at distance. Eubank was given a rest in the sixth after Benn had carelessly punched him in the groin and he still had not shaken the effects off in the next session, especially with later being careless with body shots. In the eighth Eubank was dropped by a clubbing right to the head, but he regrouped in the ninth to take the fight to Benn, whose left eye was now closed shut, and landed heavily before building up a ferocious non-stop attack. With Benn on the ropes and not firing back, having been badly hurt, he was rescued by the referee in what was considered to be a perfectly timed stoppage.

Archive for the 'Ford Zodiac' tag
Canadian sightseeing: Ford Zodiac
In Barry's Bay, Ontario, at the lunch stop, during Stage 4 of the 2012 Hemmings Motor News Great Race, there were several dozen classic cars from a local car club parked nearby to welcome the racers into town. One car in particular caught my eye, a 1959 Ford Zodiac Mk II. I did not get an opportunity to talk to the owner; however, several other classic car owners who were parked nearby stated it was one of only eight Zodiacs currently registered in Ontario.
Ford of Britain marketed the Consul, Zephyr and Zodiac models from 1951-1972, with the Mk I series produced until 1956 and the Mk II series redesigned for 1956 and built up until the Mk III series debut in 1962. The Zepyhr/Zodiac Mk I series cars were the first mass-produced models by any manufacturer to sport MacPherson strut independent front suspension. This car is unique in that is a left-hand-drive version; Zephyrs were built in Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and South Africa, all right-hand-drive countries, so this car was converted at some point or produced for export to another European country. More than 290,000 of the Mk II cars were built at several facilities throughout the world. The Mk II features a 2,553cc six-cylinder engine that produced 86 bhp and was equipped with a Borg-Warner three-speed with overdrive. Tested by The Motor magazine in 1961, a Zephyr convertible reached a top speed of 88 MPH. The 2,600-pound Mk II could accelerate from 0-60 in 17 seconds while getting about 21 MPG in fuel economy.
This yellow-over-white Mk II saloon has been kept in great shape over the years and most definitely garaged during the harsh Canadian winters. In addition to belonging to his local car club, the passenger rear window sported a European Ford Owners of North America sticker, the car was also in the Ford Registry. My photo of the odometer is too fuzzy to read, but I believe it read less than 40,000 km over the last 53 years.

Product Test: Egg Scrambler
We bought the Egg Scrambler at Tops for $6.99. It promises to help you scramble your eggs quickly and easily.
Our tester, Mary -- and her three girls -- went right to work. The product opens up and you crack your eggs inside. You throw the agitator ball inside and shake. That's it.
Mary cooked up the scrambled eggs and thought they were a little runny. A little thin. Then she looked around at the dishes she now had to wash -- and decided old school was the better way to go. It is pretty easy to just scramble them with a fork.
Our testers are giving the Egg Scrambler two thumbs down.

I've been waiting a while now for the arrival of Netflix on these shores, so was it worth the wait?When I received the initial email invitation, it's poor quality made me unsure as to whether this was some sort of phishing effort. This was not helped by the very basic Netflix holding page presented to UK users.In any case, I had been waiting a while for this so I dipped my toes into the 30 day free trial. You have to enter you credit card details during registration, which will likely put off some users, but I triangulated the security certificate to be sure. Once registered, you get presented with a very elegant browsing interface, not a million miles from the one for iTunes films, but much the superior in my opininon - especially how it pops up detail information when you hover over the film / programme image.I caught up with 'Gone Baby Gone' - a film I had not got around to watching yet, but had always wanted to see. The whole experience from browsing, to selecting and watching is truly slick, simple and elegant. For those worried about signing up via Facebook - for everything you watch, you get the option to not share to Facebook - so that you can continue to watch trashy TV and movies without exposing your viewing choices to friends and family.Currently, the only thing that really counts against Neflix at the moment is the rather slim selection of video available. Like many other users, I expected there to be a lot more US TV Series. Also - you don't get the very latest films or TV - it's mostly a series or two behind. But great if you want to catch up with films and TV you missed when they were initially releases - a couple or so years ago.The £5.99 all-inclusive monthly fee is the perfect price point as far as I'm concerned - Netflix just needs to work on signing more studio deals and providing a larger selection. In terms of overall experience, this is currently my favourite way of watching video online - I'm of course interested to see what Apple, Amazon (LoveFilm), YouTube and the BBC do in response to this.I wrote a blog not so long ago about the poor state of online video, and how poorly it compared to the more traditional model of Blockbuster - which is unfortunately fast waning. There is no online service yet though which is able to deliver as wide a video libary, as quickly as Blockbuster.
In order to further safeguard its future, HMV has just recently launched HMV On-Demand - a video streaming / download service running on the FilmFlex Movies Platform. This service introduces further competition to iTunes and LoveFilm, and comes just ahead of the 2012 launch of American video behemoth Netflix. There are of course numerous other movie services through set-top boxes and consoles - such as Movies on the Play Station 3, but the big four are seen to be Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant Video and iTunes. Amazon of course recently bought up LoveFilm, which makes up its European offering.I must admit that I used to be a huge fan of Blockbuster Video Stores, and if there was one next door to me, I would probably still use it, as they still have by far and away the best range of movies, have the earliest release dates, and their price point is only £2.99. Apple iTunes currently has downloads only - you can start viewing progressively at 10-15 minutes in, but it's not streaming, this is at £3.49 for standard definition, and £4.49 for high definition where available (Older films are at £2.49 and specials at £0.99). LoveFilm has a subscription service also at £5.99 per month, with some films only available on subscription, and new films are typically at £3.49, with older ones at £2.49 - on a par with iTunes. The issue for me on LoveFilm is that it's overly fussy and overly complex - giving you different options to rent DVD, watch online, sign up for subscription, buy on Amazon etc. Moreover, beyond the optional subscription it offers no great advantage over iTunes as it pretty much has the same fairly slim selection of films which are largely made available for rent a week or two after Blockbuster.HMV has gone against the grain by launching at a higher level one tier standard price of £3.99 - it's not clear yet as to what the quality of the stream is though. For HMV you can of course download to watch, as well as stream directly. Again, browsing through their library - there are still enormous holes in the catalogue, although I could find some films here that were not listed on iTunes or LoveFilm.The point is that the old format - DVD - which is 'Blockbuster' really still has by far and away the best selection and the best price. Online video has the advantage of convenience

One of the key selling points of the Kinect is that it requires you to get up off the couch and actually move. Now Microsoft wants to tell you exactly how much exercise waving your arms around and jumping up and down has burned.
Today Microsoft has launched the Kinect PlayFit app. It's essentially a leaderboard for people who like to play Kinect games. It tracks how many calories you've burned and compares it to the performance of others. Because it's just not a weight-loss program without the crushing sense of shame that comes with realizing other people are better than you and always will be! The app will work with popular Kinect games such as Just Dance and Star Wars Kinect.
Of course, this is predicated on the idea that formerly inactive people will get up off their duffs and start blasting fat interactively once they realize somebody across the country is beating their high score. Science indicates that this is not necessarily the case. But if leaderboards can motivate people to use their consoles and maybe at least get some exercise, at least it's doing a little good.
Major Nelson: Kinect PlayFit Launches Today

Haha I see where your goin. Myself enjoys the wonders of weed but understand that it`s so expensive right now because of it being illegal and is automatically inflated because of the risk of the nosy government, kinda like a mafia situation. If we legalize marijuana, that inflation "should" drop so it`s only $50 an ounce even for some of your purp, widow, ect. but only to be replaced by a tax. Shouldn`t do much harm. Toke on.
I like how ur pic has Stallin with a party hat. seriously
This is like saying "Hey what are drugs?""I don't know, do you?""Nope, wanna buy some?"Ok, so a little different but u get the jist

AISD fails No Child Left Behind standards for fifth year; Wylie passes
Click here to see how school districts and high schools in Abilene and Big Country fared.
Last week, the Texas Education Agency released its own accountability ratings, and the Abilene Independent School District learned that it moved up from a ranking of Unacceptable to Acceptable based on tests taken in the 2010-11 school year and student completion rates.
The Abilene Independent School District has failed to meet Adequate Yearly Progress benchmarks set for the nation's schools in the No Child Left Behind Act for the fifth year in a row.
According to data released Thursday by the Texas Education Agency, AISD missed the benchmarks as a district and at 16 campuses, up from three the previous school year, 2010-11.
Wylie ISD and all of its campuses met the requirements this year and last year. Abilene's Premier High School also passed the AYP standards.
AISD superintendent Heath Burns said in a news conference Thursday that despite a larger number of failing campuses, the recent round of results mean "very little," and called the national standards "grossly flawed."
"I think our performance is mischaracterized in the federal system," he said.
No Child Left Behind has imposed steep increases in passing standards for math and reading tests each year, with a goal of 100 percent of all students passing in each by 2014.
Last year, a passing rate of 80 percent on reading/English language arts test and 75 percent on the math test were required to meet AYP, according to the TEA.
This year, 87 percent of students were required to pass their reading test to meet AYP standards, while 83 percent of students were required to pass math.
Part of the difficulty for many districts: Passing AYP is an all-or-nothing proposition. Failure in even a single student subgroup — African-American, Hispanic, white, economically-disadvantaged, special education or English language learners — means failure at a school or district level.
Texas has a dual accountability system based on a single test, Burns said, the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR), which recently replaced the The Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills.
No state ratings are being issued this summer, according to the TEA, because the accountability system must be retooled to use STAAR.
But districts were been advised by former TEA commissioner of education Robert Scott to put "heavy weight" into passing the state's accountability system, Burns said, versus the federal standards.
"It's very possible to be a highly-rated school system in the state system, but to be a system that fails the federal standards," Burns said. "Abilene is one of those, as you will see if you examine our scores."
Overall, 88 percent of AISD students passed the English requirement, while 85 percent passed the math portion, both up a percentage point from 2010-11. But performances in individual subgroups prevented the district from passing overall, even though it logged some small improvements over the previous year.
All subgroups — except English language learners, who language arts scores declined a percentage point to 63 percent passing — showed improvement or equal performance compared with last year.
Economically disadvantaged students had the largest percentage gain, with passing rates for math rising by 5 percent from 66 percent to 71 percent this year.
Statewide, the Texas Education Agency reported that 44 percent of Texas campuses met federal standards, down from 66 percent last year. Only 28 percent of Texas districts met the standards, down from 50 percent.
Throughout the Big Country, a majority of districts, 47, failed to meet the standards. Of the 27 that did, many were smaller in size.
Across the state, Amarillo, Canyon, Ector, Lubbock, Midland, San Angelo and Waco failed at both the district and high school level. Wichita Falls had one high school that passed, but failed at the district level.
The AISD remains in Stage 3 of sanctions imposed by the Texas Education Agency as a result of previous failures to meet AYP standards, requiring it to implement a plan submitted last year to offer "extra reading programs and intensive math instruction" to improve its scores, said Cathy Ashby, the district's superintendent for curriculum and instruction.
Nationally, 33 states have requested waivers from requirements of No Child Life Behind, Burns said.
But Texas, "perhaps more than any other state," has been "feuding" with the federal government, he said — which means that it has not yet sought such a waiver.
"Unfortunately, our children are caught in the middle," he said.
