West Seattle history: Triangle burger joint 'Mr. B's'September 23, 2012 at 3:00 pm | In West Seattle history, West Seattle news | 17 Comments
(See a larger version here)
That May 1954 photo of Mr. B's Double-Decker Hamburger, from the Seattle Municipal Archives, came to our attention on Friday, when the Seattle City Council Twitter account flagged it as "Photo of the Week." It's one of the archive photos also featured on Flickr, and its main page there includes comments from Flickr member "Severinus" with more information, including a link to an exterior view "Severinus" pinpointed Mr. B's address as 38th and Fauntleroy – now home to the dry cleaners immediately north of Link Apartments.

Boy thats one I don't remember for sure always remember that spot as being a cleaner
What a great time in history! Check out those prices.

Man. I live in the Link Apartments, and that would be a cool place to have right there instead of a cleaners.
Comment by Me — 3:19 pm September 23, 2012 #
Wow… That's cool! I think someone should bring it back!
Comment by TDe — 3:45 pm September 23, 2012 #
I wonder if that's Mrs. B in the photo. What a little slice of 50′s Americana. I would wager that remnants and artifacts and memories of the joint could still be found in West Seattle.

Km, those prices aren't quite the bargain they seem with minimum wage being $0.75/hour and average wage under $4,000 per year.
That sure is a cool photo and I'd love to have a joint like that here.

This is so cool. I have been in that cleaners and would never have imagined it would have looked like this diner. Anyone notice the three Malt machines on the counter and the old cigarette machine in the photo. Also the hat on the Hat rack. Thanks for posting this.

Me, It would be nice to see places like this. But they are being torn down to make room for more apartments like yours.
Comment by boy — 9:22 pm September 23, 2012 #
Link did not replace anything that seemed at the time to be of particular sentimental value: A one-story building that had been part of West Seattle Montessori, and a Huling Automotive garage:
Among other semi-recent projects: Mural went up in a parking lot.
Capco Plaza/Altamira replaced a strip-mall-type building that included a Hollywood Video and a day care.
I thought the vein of anti-apartment sentiment lay with the density, not with an affinity for the buildings that are being taken down – so far. But I hope everyone concerned is following the stirrings of a possible movement to make sure the ones that do hold history are carefully regarded – see our coverage of the most recent Southwest District Council meeting, for example.
P.S. And then there's the tale of the building once slated for demolition, then saved:
that statement from the owner/architects in the June 15, 2007 Capco Plaza story is hilarious/ridiculous, when you see the tons of gaudy signs covering nearly every inch of the walls of the building now; empty promises
"The retail signs will be tasteful, promised the development team, including the architects and owner Leon Capelouto, a longtime WS businessman. He said this is supposed to be one of QFC's more "upscale" stores; the signage will not be the gaudy yellow of many QFCs, but rather something more urban, like their Mercer project. It was also promised that the Office Depot signage too will be "metropolitan" in nature."
every time I ride west on Alaska to the junction, it seems like there's more and more ugly signs covering the entirety of this so-called "upscale building"; tacky tacky tacky

Capco and Link need to take down the "Now Leasing" signs. Seriously overdue.
Comment by Triangle Neighbor — 9:12 am September 24, 2012 #
I wasn't here to remember that place but it sure brings back memories of my childhood in the 60s. I remember when a hamburger used to taste like healthy beef, those were the days.
Comment by cj — 9:55 am September 24, 2012 #
Oh man, what a beautiful old diner. I would love to bring something like that back to life in old West Seattle. Traveling all across the US and stopping at these types of places makes me long for the good ol' days here at home.
Comment by Kravitz — 4:41 pm September 24, 2012 #
Boy, the building that housed that diner is still there–it's a cleaner's now. Diners probably fell out of favor in the 1960′s and 1970′s with all the fast food chains, NOT because of apartments.

Recent Advisory News
- Mercury levels remain high in many fish. VIRGINIA -- Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) reported that mercury found in many fish species from the South River remained unchanged from 2002 through 2005. The department tested smallmouth bass, white sucker, rainbow trout and redbreast sunfish in the spring of last year. The mercury levels averaged from 0.5 to 1.5 parts per million. The high levels mean fish consumption advisories from the Virginia Department of Health will remain unchanged. Officials say it is safe to eat stocked fish from the South Fork of the Shenandoah River; however the remaining reaches have advisories. From Port Republic to Front Royal, people should eat no more than two meals of fish per month from the South Fork. North of Front Royal, carp, channel catfish and white sucker from the South Fork of the Shenandoah and Shenandoah rivers should not be eaten due to a PCB advisory, and no more than two meals per month of other species should be eaten.

- Eating fish, game from river can boost dioxin exposure, state warns: Pamphlet warns residents near Tittabawassee flood plain of health dangers. Detroit, MI -- Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) contacted about 500 people living along the Tittabawassee river because of historic dioxin contamination. DEQ warns that regularly eating fish and game from the Tittabawassee River can dramatically increase dioxin exposure. For example, by eating walleye for dinner one night and deer the next night once a month, a riverside resident would increase dioxin exposure 320 percent over what the average adult experiences, even if the person heeded every state precaution for avoiding contact with the dioxin contaminated soil. In addition, altering the diet to one meal of catfish and another of deer, deer liver or wild turkey and the exposure rises 1,000 percent higher than that of the average adult. Under the worst-case scenario: where a person eats seven meals of sport fish from the Tittabawassee River a month, a diet that also would include bottom-feeders such as catfish and carp, and ignores all recommendations for avoiding dioxin, that person would increase exposure to dioxin by 3,900 percent.

- Mercury warning issued for fish in Gulf, other sites. Baton Rouge, LA -- A new mercury advisory from the state warns women of childbearing age and children under the age of seven should not eat any king mackerel caught in the Gulf of Mexico. Sampled mercury levels in fish led state agencies to announce that people should limit consumption of fish taken out of certain Louisiana water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico. State officials also recommended that young women and children not eat more than one half-pound meal per month of Gulf-caught cobia, blackfin tuna or greater amberjack. In addition to the extensions of the Gulf advisory and an advisory for Bayou Dorcheat in Webster Parish, state agencies added four new water bodies to the advisory list. New advisories have been issued for Black Bayou Lake in Caddo Parish, Lake Bistineau in northwest Louisiana, Iatt Lake in Grant Parish and Bayou Chene/Bayou Lacassine in Southwest Louisiana.

- Test of women's hair finds high mercury levels. Patch's study (released last month), which is co-sponsored by the San Francisco-based Sierra Club and the Washington-based Greenpeace, tested mercury levels in hair of 6,600 subjects (4,400 of them women). In 2002, the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 1 in 6 U.S. women of childbearing age have enough mercury in her body to harm a developing fetus. Patch's study indicates that 1 in 5 women, or 25 percent more than previously estimated, have this level of mercury in their bloodstreams. Study subjects who ate eight or more servings of seafood per month had 0.9 parts per million of mercury in their hair. Subjects who ate no fish had only 0.06 parts per million, or 15 times less.

- Computers utilized for quickly checking fish mercury levels. Pacific Seafood, a wholesale distributor in Sacramento, California became the first seafood processor in the nation to offer its customers the option of testing the level of mercury in the fish they purchase. The testing system, called Safe Harbor, was developed by Micro Analytical Systems Inc. The computer-based testing system makes it possible to quickly and affordably test fish for mercury levels before it leaves the processing plant on its way to grocery stores and restaurants. In addition, tested fish will be labeled to indicate that the fish has been tested and is below acceptable maximum levels. However, the exact amount of mercury tested is not available on the label but the amount allowed by the government is available on Safe Harbor's web site.

- Lead-Filled Mussels Unsafe Side Dish. Jakarta, INDONESIA -- The Jakarta administration has warned the public against eating green mussels farmed commercially in Cilincing and Muara Kapuk, both in North Jakarta, saying they are contaminated with toxic heavy metals. The lead and cadmium content of the mussels tested was 8.43 ppm and 1.11 ppm, respectively. The safe level is 0.4 ppm for lead and 0.1 ppm for cadmium. The mercury content was 0.01 ppm, lower than the normal level of 0.5 ppm. Data from the Jakarta Environmental Management Agency in 2005 showed the majority of Jakarta's 13 rivers were heavily polluted, mostly by industrial and household waste.

- Iowa Changes Fish Consumption Advisory System. Des Moines, IA -- The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Iowa Department of Public Health (DPH) used U.S. EPA guidance to develop a risk-based advisory system for Iowa that covers mercury, PCBs, and chlordane. Prior to 2006, contaminant levels in Iowa fish were compared to "action levels" for mercury, PCBs, and chlordane published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration which has been abandoned in favor of a more protective "risk-based" approach. Based on the new advisory protocol, the DNR and DPH recommended the following:
. Cedar Lake in Cedar Rapids: Eat only one meal/week of common carp and channel catfish (chlordane and PCBs);
. Ottumwa Lagoons: Eat only one meal/week of channel catfish (chlordane);
. Nine Eagles Lake, Decatur County: Eat only one meal/week of largemouth bass (mercury);
. The Cedar River from the Highway 218 Bridge at Floyd (Floyd Co.) to the Iowa/Minnesota state line: Eat only one meal/week of smallmouth bass, walleye and northern pike (mercury);
. The Upper Iowa River from the Lower Dam in eastern Winneshiek County to the County Road W-20 bridge: Eat only one meal/week of small bass, walleye and northern pike (mercury);
. The Volga River and tributaries upriver from the town of Volga in western Clayton County: Eat only one meal/week of smallmouth bass (mercury).

- Are the Fish Safe to Eat? "It's Information, But You Make the Decision on Whether to Buy It or Not." Chattanooga, TN -- Signs posted by public health officials around waterways to warn people not to eat certain fish, or at least limit their consumption, raise many questions about the safety of eating fish. Representatives from the Fisheries for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and the Tennessee Division of Water Pollution Control explained that only the fish species named in the fishing guide are affected and all others should be considered safe. Most advisories in the Tennessee are immediately downstream from large metropolitan areas. There are some warnings for waters in and around Memphis. Some of the other significant warning includes Nickajack Lake downstream from Chattanooga, and Fort Loudon Lake just downstream from Knoxville. Public health officials also recommended procedures for cleaning fish, including remove and discard the belly flap and fatty strip along the backbone and lateral line, filleting the fish, and removing the skin.

- Public Health's Annual Advisory Barely Changed. Bloomington, IL -- No new lakes or streams in Central Illinois were added to the annual fish advisory message issued by the Illinois Department of Public Health to limit exposure to fish contaminated with chemicals. Several area lakes and rivers remained on the list. They include:
. Lake Decatur for all sizes of carp and catfish;
. Powerton Lake channel catfish fro 15 to 19 inches are restricted to one meal a week. Channel catfish over 19 inches are restricted to one meal a month;
. White bass on the Illinois River are restricted to one meal a month from the headwaters to Starved Rock. Other restrictions refer to the Peoria pool;
. Meals of largemouth bass should be restricted to fish under 16 inches to one meal a week, bass 16 to 18 inches to six meals a year, and greater than 18 inches should not be eaten at all;
. Carp larger than 17 inches on the Mackinaw River should not be eaten more than once a week;
. Fish at specific locations added statewide this year include carp, channel catfish, crappie, white suckers, and sunfish;
. New rivers added include carp, catfish and smallmouth bass from the east branch of the DuPage River; carp from the Kankakee River, crappie, largemouth, spotted bass and carp from the Little Wabash; carp from Cedar Creek; channel catfish from Nippersink Creek, and carp from Spring Creek.
DNR said the recommendations are aimed at sensitive populations. Due to mercury contamination, all children, pregnant women, nursing mothers and women of child-bearing age have been advised against eating predator fish from anywhere in the state since 2002.

- Warning: Limit Meals of Local Flounder. Asbury Park, NJ -- Department of Environmental Protection officials said that people should not eat winter flounder caught in Raritan Bay and New York harbor waters more than once a month because the fish may have elevated levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a family of now-banned industrial chemicals believed to cause cancer. This is the first time any flounder species has been added to the advisory for PCBs.

- Signage in South Warns of Fish Contamination. Malesso, GUAM -- Four advisory signs were installed in Malesso to warn about PCB contamination in Cocos Lagoon. The Guam Environmental Protection Agency plans to erect signs at Cocos Island and the Agat Marina. The precautionary warnings by the Guam EPA and Department of Health remain in effect until the U.S. Coast Guard performs further tests. Fish consumption should be limited and prepared by removing skin, fat and cooking thoroughly.

- 3M Chemicals in Mississippi Prompt New Fish Advisory. Minnesota, MN -- Researchers for the state and 3M found high levels of the perfluorochemical compound PFOS in fish in a stretch of the Mississippi River in the south Twin Cities metro area to issue new advisories for bluegill sunfish. Releases of PFOS came from the Scotchgard manufacturing operations at 3M's Cottage Grove plant, where the product was made for nearly 50 years. State health officials issued new recommendations advising against eating more than one meal of bluegill sunfish a week from "Pool 2" of the Mississippi River between the Hastings Dam and Ford Dam in Saint Paul.

- Delaware issues health advisories for popular fish. DELAWARE -- Officials toughened fish consumption warnings for some of the region's water bodies and most popular food fish, including hatchery-raised trout released to Delaware streams. Most of the expanded recreational fishing advisories are based on cancer risks from long-banned industrial pollutants still found in fish tissues. The first-ever freshwater trout warning is for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). State scientists have identified hatchery fish food as a likely source for the toxic contaminant. Other advisories include sea trout (weakfish) taken from the Delaware River and Bay, and saltwater bluefish caught in the river, bay, Atlantic coast or inland bays.

- Tuna sushi from LA restaurants test high for mercury. Los Angeles, CA -- Investigators from Turtle Island Restoration Network and its GotMercury.Org program visited six of LA's top sushi restaurants and submitted samples of their tuna sushi to a laboratory for mercury testing. Results showed that tuna sushi contained an average mercury level of 0.721 parts per million (ppm), which approaches the levels of king mackerel, which the FDA instructs women of childbearing age and children never to eat. Public health analyst for GotMercury.Org suggested that FDA should immediately revise its March 2004 mercury in seafood advisory to clarify that women and children should stop eating almost all tuna. FDA data shows that fresh and frozen tuna average 0.383 ppm, about half the levels shown by GotMercury.Org's testing results. This differences could be due to the fact that sushi grade tuna often comes from the biggest, fattest tuna, subsequently may contain higher mercury levels.

- Demographic and lifestyle factors associated with dioxin-like activity (CALUX-TEQ) in human breast milk in Hong Kong. Maternal exposure to dioxins and related compounds before conception may affect the health of the fetus. To identify factors affecting dioxin body load in Hong Kong, in 2002, total dioxin-like activity was estimated in 250 individual milk samples at 2-6 weeks postpartum, from a representative group of primiparous mothers, (mean age 29 +/- 5 years), by a chemically activated luciferase expression (CALUX) bioassay. Associations between the CALUX-TEQ and 20 socio-demographic and dietary variables were examined separately in mothers younger than 30 years (n = 114) and 30 years or older (n = 119), by multiple linear regression analysis. CALUX-TEQ significantly increased by 0.4-0.5 pg/g fat for every year of the mother's age. Mothers born in Guangdong province of China had a significantly higher CALUX-TEQ. Higher seafood consumption and having a female baby were associated with a higher maternal CALUX-TEQ level. Age was the strongest factor affecting human dioxin levels in Hong Kong. Birthplace and residence are important indicators of variations in exposure to environmental pollution in the Asia Pacific region. Temporal trends in body loads of dioxins remain to be established and continuous monitoring of dioxins in humans and foods is necessary as a precautionary approach to guide environmental control measures and prevent exposure to infants.

- Dietary intake of differently fed salmon: a preliminary study on contaminants. In a previous study, a group of coronary heart disease patients exhibited positive cardioprotective effects of fatty acids derived from a diet of farmed Atlantic salmon fed fish oil. This follow-up study examines these patients for plasma exposure to selected organic and inorganic contaminants found in seafood that may detract from the benefits of eating oily fish. The study design was from Seierstad et al. (2005), where 58 patients were allocated into three groups consuming 700 g week(-1) of differently fed Atlantic salmon fillets for 6 weeks: 100% fish oil, 100% rapeseed oil, or 50% of each.
Different fillets showed graded levels of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (DLPCBs), indicator PCBs, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and arsenic (As). Mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb) levels were similar across the three types of fillets. After 6 weeks of consumption, patient levels of PCDDs, DLPCBs, and PCBs in plasma decreased as the dietary intake of these contaminants increased. Plasma PBDEs only showed increases for the fish oil patients. Levels of inorganic contaminants in plasma showed only slight changes over the study period. These results show a reduction in the use of marine oils in fish feed reduces organic contaminant levels in farmed salmon while still providing a good dietary source of marine fatty acids.

- Liquid chromatographic-cold vapour atomic fluorescence spectrometric determination of mercury species. Solvent extraction, sonication, and microwave-assisted extractions in the presence of extraction agents (thioacetic acid, citric acid, cysteine, 2-mercaptoethanol, HCl + NaCl, etc.) were tested for the isolation of mercury species. A mixture of 6 M HC1 and 0.1 M NaCl was selected as the most suitable extraction agent. The extraction efficiency was about 10% higher when microwave-assisted extraction was applied instead of sonication. The liquid chromatography-cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectrometry (LC/CV-AFS) method was optimized and used to separate and determine inorganic mercury cations and alkylated and arylated mercury species. Isocratic elution at a flow rate of 0.15 mL/min was used for separation of mercury species on a Hypersil BDS C18 RP column. The concentrations (2-10 mg/kg fresh weight) of total mercury and methylmercury in selected fish obtained by HPLC/CV-AFS were in good agreement but more precise than those determined by GC coupled to an electron capture detector.

- Caudal fin mercury as a non-lethal predictor of fish-muscle mercury. The caudal (tail) fins from 17 walleye (Sander vitreus) and 12 northern pike (Esox lucius) from three northern Arizona lakes (Long Lake, Soldier Lake, and Upper Lake Mary) were analyzed for total mercury by combustion-atomic absorption spectrometry. Results indicate that the fin contains measurable mercury that correlates with muscle-mercury concentrations. As the body burden of mercury increased, the concentration in the fin increased relative to the muscle. Mercury concentrations also increased with fish length and weight, although the relationship was lake and species-dependent. Fish from Soldier Lake had the most efficient uptake of mercury, likely due to the trophic structure of the lake or the condition of the fish, but possibly due to an acute source of mercury. Overall, this study demonstrates that caudal fin clippings can be used as a non-lethal predictor of muscle-mercury concentrations, which can reduce the number of fish killed in routine monitoring programs.

- Trace metal concentrations in edible tissue of snapper, flathead, lobster, and abalone from coastal waters of Victoria, Australia. The concentrations of heavy metals in the edible tissue of commonly fished species of the Victorian coast of Australia are reported. The metals studied were arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), selenium (Se), and zinc (Zn). The fish species examined were snapper, flathead, lobster, and abalone. None of the fish species studied had average concentrations exceeding the maximum levels specified for As, Cd, Hg, and Pb by the Food Standards Australia and New Zealand Food Standards code. Additionally, the concentrations of Cu, Se, and Zn were close to or below the median values generally expected in these species. Essential trace elements Se and Zn were found to be well regulated by all fish species. Although also essential, Cu was not so well regulated, especially in abalone. Nonessential metals (As, Cd, and Hg) are not regulated in the studied fish and their concentrations in the fish tissue are dependent on size and fishing zone. Metal concentrations were not largely affected by sex. Surprisingly, the concentrations of metals in fish in Port Phillip Bay, a zone, which includes the major cities of Melbourne and Geelong and is known to have high concentrations of metals in the water and sediment, were not consistently higher than those in other less-populated fishing zones.

While there is a significant amount of data showing health benefits of increased fish consumption, there are conflicting reports about the cardiovascular risks of mercury in seafood.

- Persistent organic pollutants and metals in the freshwater biota of the Canadian Subarctic and Arctic: An overview. Over 1999-2002, a series of contaminant studies were conducted on freshwater biota of Canada's Arctic and Subarctic regions. The majority of inorganic contaminant studies focused on mercury in fish. While mercury concentrations were low in benthic feeding fish such as whitefish, predatory fish such as lake trout, pike, and walleye frequently had mercury levels which exceeded 0.2 mu g/g, the consumption guideline for frequent consumers of fish, and 0.5 µg/g, the guideline for the commercial use of fish. Numerous consumption advisories were issued for lakes along the Mackenzie River. Relatively high mercury levels appear to be due to relatively old fish populations and tend to be more prevalent in smaller lakes where warmer summer water temperatures and watershed influences result in greater mercury and methyl mercury inputs. Mercury levels were substantially lower in char than in lake trout, possibly due to a combination of a less fish-rich diet, a colder environment, and smaller methylmercury watershed inputs. Temporal trend monitoring has revealed little evidence of declining mercury levels in fish that can be attributed to declining atmospheric inputs. Because mercury follows complex pathways in the environment, other factors may counteract reductions in atmospheric mercury sources, e.g., climatic variability, changes in the commercial fishery, and interactions between fish species.
Most organochlorine (OC) investigations were based on long term trend monitoring and focused on char, burbot, and lake trout. There was strong evidence of declining OC concentrations in char, particularly Sigma HCH and Sigma chlordane, which may reflect a response to declining atmospheric inputs. Endosulfan concentrations increased, as in the atmosphere. There also was evidence of declining OC concentrations in burbot in the Slave and Mackenzie rivers but not in Great Slave Lake and Yukon lakes. OC concentrations decreased in lake trout in Yukon lakes in the 2000s, probably because of changes in the fish themselves (i.e., reduced lipid content, condition factor) and possibly climatic variability. Similarly, OCs declined in Great Slave Lake trout. New research on PDBEs and perfluorinated compounds determined that these contaminants are widespread in freshwater fish and concentrations may be increasing. Global warming is a major issue of concern for Arctic and Subarctic waters and may have adverse impacts on contaminant levels in fish and other biota. In addition, monitoring studies should be broadened to consider factors affecting other aspects of fish biology. Foremost among these is integrating contaminant monitoring studies on lakes with stock assessment studies. Ecosystem-based studies should be conducted to more effectively understand contaminant trends and should consider inputs (atmospheric, river inflow, resupension), losses (sedimentation, volatilization), and biological pathways.

- A snapshot of PCB levels in Hoosic River sediments, crayfish and brown trout in the tri-state area. Levels of PCBs in river bank sediments, crayfish and brown trout were measured for samples taken from the Main and South Branches of the Hoosic River. Sample sites were principally in Massachusetts but included sites in Vermont and New York. The Hoosic is a fast flowing river, carrying sediment that is primarily fine sand (ca. 75%) mixed with silt and clay. Sediment samples were collected at 14 recreationally-relevant sites on a singe day in September 2003 to provide a snapshot of PCB levels that minimized variations caused by river level, flow rate, and other weather/season-dependent parameters. PCB contamination in the Hoosic originates at the site of the former Sprague Electric Company (SEC) plant in North Adams, MA where a capped waste dump has leaked Aroclors 1242 and 1254. Measurements of Aroclor 1254 show that the average surface sediment PCB level downstream of the SEC is 0.1 ppm, varying from 0.020 to 0.235 ppm. Subsurface sediments show the same average concentration but vary more widely, from 0.010 to 0.628 ppm. South Branch PCB levels, upstream of the SEC, are significantly lower but indicate the presence of a diffuse, low level source of PCB contamination on this section of the Hoosic. Crayfish contained levels of Aroclor 1254 that were significant but may signal a decline in PCB levels compared to previous studies. Brown trout 1-2 years old showed roughly equivalent amounts of both Aroclors, with levels ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 ppm (wet weight). Older trout (4-7 years old) showed significantly higher levels of Aroclor 1242 relative to 1254 (2-5:1) with total PCB contamination greater than 2 ppm, exceeding the U.S. EPA consumption guidelines. These results do not indicate a significant decline in PCB levels compared to earlier studies. They also imply that brown trout bioaccumulate PCBs differently than crayfish and that local bans on consumption of Hoosic river fish should remain.

- Residues of total mercury and methyl mercury in eel products. Fifty-two samples of broiled eels and broiled eel liver were analyzed for total mercury and methyl mercury. The mean concentrations of total mercury in broiled eels and broiled eel liver were 0.21 ppm and 0.10 ppm, respectively. Meanwhile, the mean concentrations of methyl mercury in broiled eels and broiled eel liver were 0.085 ppm and 0.039 ppm, respectively. The rate of methyl mercury to total mercury mainly ranged from 60 to 80% in broiled eels and from 35 to 65% in broiled eel liver. The total mercury concentrations of 2 samples of broiled eels and one sample of broiled eel liver exceeded the provisional regulation limit (0.4 ppm) of total mercury in fish in Japan. In these samples, the rates of methyl mercury to total mercury were lower than 20%. The muscles and the skin of broiled eels were measured separately. The ratios of skin to muscle concentration of total mercury and methyl mercury were mainly in the range from 1/10 to 1/4. The mean intakes of total mercury from broiled eels and broiled eel liver per individual were 24.6 µg and 3.1 µg, respectively. The mean intakes of methyl mercury from broiled eels and broiled eel liver per individual were 10.4 µg and 1.2 µg, respectively.

- A history of total mercury in edible muscle of fish from lakes in northern Canada. Subsistence fishing has been an important source of food for Native People in northern Canada since prehistoric time. Measurements of the levels of mercury in edible muscle of northern fish have been undertaken for over three decades to evaluate the risks of consuming northern fish. This report summarizes the data obtained from 7974 fish of 25 species from sites distributed from the Yukon to Labrador. The most abundant species were lake trout, lake whitefish, arctic char, walleye, northern pike and burbot. The results were used to support decisions on fishing and safe consumption of fish. They were sorted in several ways, into concentration ranges corresponding to human consumption guidelines, into political jurisdictions and into types of bedrock geology. Overall walleye, northern pike and lake trout, usually exceeded the subsistence consumption guideline of 0.2 µg g(-1) total mercury and often exceeded the higher guideline of 0.5 µg g(-1) total mercury for commercial sales of fish. Mercury in burbot, another facultative predator, was often lower but several still exceeded guidelines. Arctic char collections were mostly from anadromous populations and these had very low levels of mercury, presumably reflecting marine food sources. Lake whitefish were among the cleanest fish examined with 69 of 81 collections falling in the lowest range. Most collections were from sites in sedimentary rock. However a few sites were in metamorphic, intrusive or volcanic rocks. These, taken together, tended to have a higher proportion of sites in the higher ranges of mercury. These results indicate a widespread problem with mercury in subsistence fisheries for predator species of fish with the problem being most problematic for Nunavut.

- Assessment of marine pollution in Izmir Bay: Nutrient, heavy metal and total hydrocarbon concentrations. Izmir Bay (western Turkey) is one of the great natural bays of the Mediterranean. Izmir is an important industrial and commercial centre and a cultural focal point. The main industries in the region include food processing, oil, soap and paint production, chemical industries, paper and pulp factories, textile industries and metal processing. The highest total hydrocarbon levels were found in the inner bay due to the anthropogenic activities, mainly combustion processes of traffic and industrial activities. The concentrations of heavy metals found in fish varied for mercury: 4.5-520, cadmium: 0.10-10 and lead: 0.10-491 µg kg(-1) in Izmir Bay. There was no significant seasonal variation in metal concentrations. An increase in Hg concentration with increasing length was noted for Mullus barbatus. Consumption of more than 2, 133 and 20 meals per week of fish in human diet would represent the tolerable weekly intake of mercury, cadmium and lead, respectively, in Izmir Bay. Heavy metal levels were lower than the results in fish tissues reported from polluted areas of the Mediterranean Sea.

- Metal status of Nairobi River waters and their bioaccumulation in Labeo cylindricus. This study focused on the analysis of metals in water and fish from Nairobi River. Water from Kikuyu, Kawangware, Chiromo, Eastleigh, Njiru and Fourteen Falls along the Nairobi River was analyzed for the presence of metals. Most of the metal levels in water were below the critical limit of WHO and Kenya Bureau of Standards except lead, chromium, iron and manganese. Isolated cases of mercury and aluminum pollution were recorded. This study also analyzed metal levels in fish organs and tissues of fish caught from downstream (Fourteen Falls). The highest zinc concentration (360 µg/g) was in the scales, copper recorded the highest concentration in the kidney (45 µg/g), while cadmium recorded high values (167 µg/g) in the heart. Lead recorded high values (178 µg/g) in the heart and mercury recorded high values also in the heart (1000 ng/g). Most of these organs, are however, not eaten by man as food. Although metal levels were within normal levels in the water at Fourteen Falls, mercury, copper, lead and iron recorded higher than accepted levels in some fish organs. These results suggest that caution should be exercised in the consumption of fish from Fourteen Falls.

- Biomonitoring of heavy metals and trace organics using the intertidal mussel Perna viridis in Hong Kong coastal waters. This paper presents the results of a 6-year (1998-2003) survey of trace toxics in the intertidal mussel P. viridis conducted by the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department. Concentrations of heavy metals and trace organics were measured in the soft bodies of P. viridis collected from five sites in Hong Kong waters in order to establish the spatial patterns of contaminants in mussels. Among the metals analyzed, Cd showed a significant concentration gradient in Hong Kong waters. The levels of Cd in P. viridis were significantly higher at Ma Wan as compared to the other sites studied. Ma Wan also had relatively higher concentrations of Pb. Mn concentrations were particularly prominent at Wu Kai Sha. Significantly higher concentrations of Hg and Cu were recorded at Tai Tam and Tsim Sha Tsui. Tai Tam and Wit Kai Sha had higher levels of V; whereas higher Ni concentrations were recorded at Lamma Island and Tai Tam. No clear spatial patterns for Al, As, Cr, Fe and Zn were observed. Higher concentrations of PAHs in P. viridis were observed around urban centers impacted by sewage discharges, whereas higher PCB levels were found in less urbanized areas, suggesting that these may be due to non-sewage related inputs. The study also shows that Northwest and Southern waters are subject to a higher degree of DDT pollution compared with other sites. Of the 17 dioxin compounds analyzed, positive data were recorded for two compounds which are of low toxicity, whereas the most toxic congeners (i.e. 2,3,7,.8-TCDD and 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD) were not detected during the study.
This study found that the levels of some highly toxic heavy metals (i.e. Cd, Hg and Pb) in P. viridis did not exceed the recommended limits for shellfish as food in Hong Kong (i.e. Cd: 2.0 ppm; Hg: 0.5 ppm; Pb: 6.0 ppm wet weight). The levels of As and Ni in P. viridis were also well below the action limits set by the US FDA (i.e. As: 86 ppm; Ni: 80 ppm wet weight). DDT and PCB contaminations in P. viridis were below the concentrations of concern. Compared with data obtained in the 1980s, the current levels of DDTs in P. viridis were 4-16 times lower. Lead concentrations have also been lowered significantly. These results are mainly related to reduction in local and regional pollution sources during the past 20 years.

- Concentrations of trace elements in marine fish and its risk assessment in Malaysia. Concentrations of trace elements (V, Cr, Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, Ga, Se, Rb, Sr, Mo, Ag, Cd, Sn, Sb, Cs, Ba, Hg, Tl, Pb and Bi) were determined in muscle and liver of 12 species of marine fish collected from coastal areas in Malaysia. Levels of V, Cr, Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, Ga, Sr, Mo, Ag, Cd, Sri, Ba and Pb in liver were higher than those in muscle, whereas Rb and Cs concentrations showed the opposite trend. Positive correlations between concentrations in liver and muscle were observed for all the trace elements except Cu and Sn. Copper, Zn, Se, Ag, Cd, Cs and Hg concentrations in bigeye scads from the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia were higher than those from the west, whereas V showed the opposite trend. The high concentration of V in the west coast could indicate oil contamination in the Strait of Malacca. To evaluate the health risk to Malaysian population through consumption of fish, intake rates of trace elements were estimated on the basis of the concentrations of trace elements in muscle of fish and daily fish consumption. Some specimens of the marine fish had Hg levels higher than US EPA guidelines, indicating that consumption of these fish may be hazardous to Malaysian people.

Free Scoop Alert! Molly Moon's Celebrates Madrona Shop Opening with Free Kids Scoops Today
PHOTO CREDIT: Flickr/frankfarm
After putting a call out via social media for votes on where the third Molly Moon's Ice Cream shop should open (and drumming up an impressive amount of neighborhood enthusiasm in the process), Molly Moon Neitzel has decided to open not one but two new shops, one in each of the top vote-getting 'hoods.
First to open is the Madrona "micro-shop," which shares space with the retro cute Madrona Laundromat (1408 34th Ave.), and opens today! It'll be a littler version of the full-scale shops but worry not: it will still have pints, ice cream sandwiches and of course scoops. To celebrate the grand opening, free kid-sized scoops will be handed out today from 3pm to 5pm, so pray for sun and get over there!
Queen Anne, the neighborhood with the most votes, will get a standalone Molly Moon's later this summer (late August or early September).

Visalia police will be increasing lookout for seat-belt violators starting this weekend.
As part of California's Click it or Ticket, Visalia police are encouraging people to use their seatbelts or face hefty fines and fees. The minimum fine for not wearing a seat belt is $142, which doesn't include county and city fees that could double the amount of the ticket.
The Click it or Ticket campaign is a statewide initiative to combat deaths related to drivers and passengers who are not wearing seatbelts. In 2011, 21, 253 people were killed in crashed where seatbelts were not used. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 11,949 lives were saved in 2011 nationwide because of seat belt use.
Police officers will be out in full force through the summer and will check for seat-belt violators.
For more information on the Click it or Ticket mobilization, visit www.nhtsa.gov.

Re: Lionel rose overrated
Really surprised to read this on the Aussie forum, but good to see it's started an interesting debate. His win over Harada was in my opinion, the greatest victory by an Australian boxer, ever. To understand how great a win it was, you have to understand just how great Masahiko Harada was.
He stopped Pone Kingpetch (25-3 at the time) for the Flyweight world title. Kingpetch got his revenge in the return. He finished his career as a 3 time world champion. Harada eventually beat the legendary Eder Jofre for the Bantamweight world title in 1965. Jofre was 47-0-3 at the time. He made defenses against Alan Rudkin (23-1), Jofre again, Joe Medel (who had previously beaten him - Rose beat him too in a non-title bout), and Bernardo Caraballo (51-1-2 at the time).
He was an absolute wrecking ball at the time Rose faced him. Make no mistake, Harada was one of the greatest Asian fighters of all time. I ranked him 94 on my list that I posted in here a few years ago.
Rose beat Harada and then made his first defence against the 1964 Olympic Gold Medalist Takao Sakuri, again in Japan! He then faced Medel at Super Bantam in a non-title bout before defending against Chucho Castillo (34-7) and Alan Rudkin (36-4). He ended up losing his title to a living legend in Ruben Olivares. By this point Lionel pretty much couldn't force his body down to Bantamweight.
That stretch of 1967-1969, beginning with Gattellari, ranks up there with any level of opposition ever faced by an Australian boxer. You also need to consider that this was arguably the strongest time in the history of the Bantamweight division.
Often overlooked when speaking of Rose's career was him losing a razor thin decision in Japan at Super Featherweight for the WBC title! Yoshiaki Numata himself was a 2 time world champion and he beat Rose by 2 points on all cards over 15 rounds.
I think you can actually make a much stronger argument for Rose being underrated, than overrated.

Although Leon Errol played in many movies during the 1930's and 1940's as a supporting actor to many great names, his dual role as the nerveous businessman and the bumbling english gentleman will always be his most memorable performances. He apperaed in many of the "Mexican Spitfire" films with Lupe Velez. His comedic skill, as well as his acting, made each of his roles enjoyable to moviegoers.

For the life of me, I cant see why people keep bringing up Jake Gardiner's name as one of the guys that Toronto may move . He is an improving young puck moving D man with a pretty high ceiling. His trade value is nowhere near as high as his ceiling, so it makes zero sense to move him. I see Kadri and Franson as far more likely to be traded, and perhaps Gunnarson and Lupul as well . I may be wrong, but Gardiner is far less likely to be moved than most other Leafs .
Morning Rumors: Staal's, Skinner, Ward, Subban, Miller and Maple Leafs
- Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer: Hurricanes Jim Rutherford is expected to step down as the teams general manager after the season. He could remain on as their president, a position he currently holds as well. Ron Francis is expected to take over the GM position. Francis has been working with Rutherford and handles many of their day-to-day operation duties.
- Hope Smoke: Doug MacLean: "I was told a couple of weeks ago that Ron Francis will take over as GM in Carolina"
- Elliotte Friedman of CBC Sports: Friedman thinks at least one offensive minded Maple Leafs forward will be moved for a more defensive player.Both P.K. Subban and Ryan Miller have chosen to wait until after the season to talk contract, despite their teams willing to talk.
After the season the Hurricanes and Eric Staal will see if their relationship is worth preserving. Eric has been playing on the wing with Jordan and Alex Semin.
It's likely that the Hurricanes could look to move out some salary this summer. Two players who they could look at moving are Cam Ward (no trade clause) and Jeff Skinner. Other teams have been told that Ward is healthy. The Hurricanes may be willing to eat some salary to move Ward.
Last summer the Hurricanes put Skinner's name out there, but didn't seem that serious about moving him. They wanted to see what value he had.
- Hope Smoke: Nick Kypreos: "The Hurricanes are going to make everyone available at the draft. The Staals, Skinner, Ward anyone for the right price"
- Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun: P.K. Subban is believed to be looking for an $8 million per year deal, and hopes to remain with the Canadiens.
"I'll tell you this right now: My goal coming into the NHL was to help the Montreal Canadiens win a Stanley CUp. It still is," Subban told the Sun on Saturday.
"If I'm not a Montreal Canadien, it won't be because I don't want to be there. I have every intention of being there, playing my entire career there.
"If it doesn't happen, it's because it's a business and not because I don't want to be there."
- Hope Smoke: Bob McKenzie: "If Leafs miss the playoffs one of two things will happen, replacing the coach or trading guys like Kadri/Gardiner"
- Hope Smoke: James Mirtle: "At the end of last season the Leafs needed help down the middle & on D. They then went & spent their money on Clarkson"
- Hope Smoke: Bob McKenzie: "Is Spott the eventual replacement for Carlyle? I think the Leafs hired him to be the Marlies coach & he needs time there"

Rick, good points on Gardiner. However, if Jake is the primary component of a trade for Skinner, the Leafs have to pull the trigger, IMHO. They can't let Gardiner go for another d-man or some of the other eternal trade bait, like Gagner, but if they land a young pivot they have to bite the bullet.
I guess I have to agree with Douglas, in that if Skinner is available, and Gardiner is the deal maker, you make that trade. The problem is that Jake alone does not get you Jeff Skinner . I think I am right on that…so, how much more would Carolina want ? Also, is Skinner primarily a centre in the NHL ? If so, it makes sense to make that deal…if Skinner is more of a winger, well, the Leafs have good wingers, and guys like Leivo in the minors, who projects to be a top six forward in the NHL . Also, if they acquire Skinner to play centre, I think the ripple is that they move Kadri . Interesting stuff, all around.
Rick, it would take another roster player and a pick. The Leafs might be able to get Skinner for Jake and a 1st. All that being said, I'm not sure there is a sense of urgency to move Skinner. He is signed long term and turns 22 in May. Would be tough to land. Going back to your original point of trading Gardiner, it only makes sense if it is for a Skinner type of player. Ryan O'reilly is another player I have mentioned previously as the type of return the Leafs would need to even consider parting with Gardiner.
Why on earth would the Leafs, an apparently soft team want a small soft-er player? If Gardiner is to be moved; which I too feel there is no way you trade him now it should be for a guy like Wayne Simmonds, Ryan O'Reilly, or even Eric Staal.

A deputy was involved in a collision in Shingle Springs on Aug. 16 after another car failed to yield.
The deputy was traveling Code 3 — full lights and sirens — northbound on South Shingle Road, CHP Officer Quinn Cuthbertson said. As the deputy was crossing the intersection at about 20 mph on a red light on Mother Lode Drive, connecting to Highway 50, a car exiting the freeway failed to yield.
The white 1997 Toyota Corolla, exiting eastbound Highway 50, broadsided the patrol vehicle. Neither party reported an injury.
Cuthbertson wished to remind drivers that they are required to yield to emergency vehicles with active lights and sirens, as they have the right of way.

Report: Texas A&M to join the SEC - UPDATE
UPDATE: The Sporting News is reporting that a "high-ranking SEC" source says the report of Texas A&M accepting an invitation to the SEC is "just not true." So there goes that. For now. Prepare yourselves for a new report on Friday saying that A&M is going to the SEC.
There has been a lot of talk about the possibility of Texas A&M leaving the Big 12 to join the SEC in recent days. However, that's all it has been: talk. Rumors spreading throughout the internet like wild fire with some saying that it's going to happen and other saying they believe Texas A&M is bluffing.
Well, now there's at least one site reporting that it's a done deal and Texas A&M will be leaving the Big 12 for what it sees as the greener pastures of the SEC.
According to AggieYell.com -- a subscription site -- Texas A&M has already decided that it will join the SEC, but it can't officially announce the move until August 22nd. As you'd expect, this report has generated a lot of response online with some people buying it completely, and others expressing serious doubts.
Personally, I fall on the side of the line filled with doubt. As Aubrey Bloom of Gigem247 tweeted, this is the same website that reported A&M to the SEC was a done deal last year, and said as recently as a month ago that there was no chance that the Aggies would leave the Big 12. I'm also bothered by the fact that this story is behind a subscription wall and has only one source.
If you were that confident in the information, wouldn't you want to put the story somewhere the entire world could see it, and not just on a message board for subscribers?
Now this does not mean that I don't think Texas A&M is going to leave for the SEC at some point, nor does this mean I'm saying the AggieYell.com report is false. All I'm saying is that I'd approach this story with caution. Until Texas A&M comes out and makes an official statement about its intentions, then everything else is just hearsay.

Report: Texas A&M to join the SEC - UPDATE
I can agree with LSUSMC and others in that I am not in favor of expanding the SEC either. 6 divisional rivals and 3 inter-divisional games lends cohesiveness to the conference. Expanding to 16 teams would either eliminate 2 OOC games or cut back inter-divisional games. Neither of these options, Imo, would benefit the conference. Furthermore, 5 or 6 "super-conferences" of 16 teams does not address the legitimate arguments against the BCS arrangement. Case in point, teams that are not in a 16 team super-conference that have superior records against inferior teams(insert Boise State, TCU here) would/could continue to have legitimate arguments against the current style arrangement. In my opinion, the arguments against the BCS arrangement are compelling. (Yes, I am aware that TCU has taken steps to eliminate this problem. But what about other teams that may accomplish the samething such as an SMU?)

GoPokes this is not to try to get an arguement from you my friend just stating the simple facts. THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL that we (ARKANSAS) would, will whatever come back to anything that Texas is running. Why do you think that we left the SWC in the first place. It wasn't because of LSU, Alabama or the rest of the SEC it was Texas treating everybody like dirt in the SWC and the same is happening in the Big 12. I feel for you guys having to deal with the Texas arrogance but don't look for your border buddies over here to come a calling. Like i said nothing personal with you guys its Texas that ran us off in the first place. We'll take our chances in a league where we all share the profits not let one school keep all the money.

e2_brutus - I like your idea - I just don't think it's probable unless you can find a way to share money in such as a way that the teams in the respective conferences in the new conference get just as much money or more than what they are currently getting. Again, as I stated with my many posts before, A&M would be literally out of business at the sport level if not for the money they obtained from the rest of the conference doing so well during football season and sharing the funds. I just don't know how the funds could be distributed as lucratively with so many divisions with so many members..... maybe a big-time network could be established? I also don't know how you could send THAT many teams to a good chunk of the bowl games when they are all from the same conference.

Well my friend. You must not be very familiar with the state of Texas. Everyone here is either a Horn or Aggie fan. People who graduate from places like Houston, Rice, North Texas, Sam Houston, etc... all consider themselves fans of the Horns or Aggies. The Aggies will deliver big television ratings in the television markets of Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. In fact, Texas A&M by virtue of the television ratings will instintly be one of the most valuable members of the SEC. Do the Longhorns have a bigger national profile? Of course... but in the state of Texas the gap is not that wide at all.
The SEC would not even consider this otherwise.

While I am not in favor of enlarging the SEC, I see no reason the in-state rivalries would have to be broken up. Just add equal teams for and from the East and West, and there you go. Now, if they go and take four teams from the Big 12, then that is another situation. We do have permanent foes from the other division in the SEC, so something could always get worked out if necessary. I just hope it is not necessary.

As someone who has dearly loved Aggie Football since attending the A&M/UT game in 1963, I just find it extremely funny that FOOTBALL is what it takes to get conservatives to start screaming about fairness in life and how they have a disadvantage because someone else has worked hard and gained a national reputation and is trying to exploit others with the money and fame they have garnered over the years. Just another example of conservative hypocrisy. But, I guess football is more important than life and death issues. Doesn't change my love for A&M...but I do find it quite ironic!

16 team super conferences have some intrigueYou know, I agree with you. At first, I was wondering how so many teams in a conference could work, but now, I'm thinking it becomes a compromise to a college playoff. If each "Super Conference" gets a handful of marquee teams, then you'll truly have the best of the bunch from each conference playing the other conference champion for the title.
Dividing the conference into two 8 team divisions, allows each team in their division to play a round robin within their group, making way for a true conference championship against the division winner from the other side. You also don't have to see teams playing each other again during the championship game. I like that idea.
Plus, having a number of great teams makes for awesome television, and prevents the stupid cupcake games so many teams schedule.
I also like the idea of "equalizing" the schedules for cross conference games, which also helps alleviate the "who's number 1" at the end of the year. It won't be the be all end all, but at least it's a start, and like it or not, it appears that's where the landscape of college football is heading.

Friend and I happened upon the Kent State Fashion School Store. It's a fashion student work study/co-op in merchandising and provides a place for students to sell their work. They also self publish a fashion mag highlighting student work for major design houses and trend spotting. Pretty cool!
My curiosity picqued, I asked the nice student about the machines they use in the their sewing labs. I expected to hear TOTL's. Thinking they'd be donate or discounted....like maybe " The Bernina Sewing Lab" or " Pfaff Pre- Professional Sewing"? Nope.
" We have industrials linked to a common engine ( motor? huh?). We use vintage all metal Singer's for some detail work. There are serger stations. And we use Brother for embroidery."
I asked the student if he'd seen the new Brother Dreamweaver line, and he started gushing over the specs.
Mostly, it was fun to talk to the enthusiastic soon- to- be- pros!
BTW: the store has stunning knitwear and adorable ( albeit tiny sample size) dresses. Flawless craftsmanship! Average price for a designer original locally made top was $50.
------Brother Innovis NX650Q; Brother Nouvelle 1500; Brother CS6000i; Brother 1034D; Janome 1000CPX
That's pretty much what they have on Project runway
On Project Runway, the machines are Brother industrials and I think they have Merrow machines as well--whatever those might be. If only Merrow ponied up for sponsorship! (Sigh, there's a surprising amount of filler in each show, these days.)
They might have used other machines in LA (which was not hosted by Parsons) or in the very first seasons.
------Bernina B330
Feet: 1,2,3,3A,4,5,7,8,10,13,16,18,20, 29,32,35,37,50,64,70,71,82,85,86, 92
I'm pretty sure merrow refers to serging. I think that term is used interchangeably, such as "a merrowed edge' on napkins. So I don't think it is a brand name, but I'm certain somebody here will chime in if it is.
------Let's just say all modern sms are well represented in my studio.
------"Improvise, adapt and overcome." - Clint Eastwood/Heartbreak Ridge
"Isn�t it a shame in today�s world you can�t tell the truth. If you tell the truth you�re abrasive. If you lie you�re charming." - Bob Huggins/College Basketball Coach
See, I knew someone here would know. All I'm familiar with is the verb that evolved from the brand name!
I had to google it when I watched that episode too. The Merrow website is actually pretty fascinating. If you click at the top of the page on the "sewing applications" tab, you can browse through oodles of different applications, each one with it's own specialised machine. Here's the rolled hem page as an example
I love the micropurl machine. I can only imagine the eyeroll I would get from my husband if I brought one of these home!

WHITLEY CO., Ky. (WKYT)- On January 10th, there was a posting on Topix from a person only identifying himself as "serious as a heart attack."
"There was a post apparently on Topix stating he would pay money to have this person murdered," said KSP Trooper Don Trosper.
Court records show that the post promised the would be hit-man $5,000. Half up front, half when the job was done.
The would-be victim, a woman in Corbin, went to police. They launched a five month investigation trying to find out who "serious as a heart attack" was.
"Unfortunately, they think they are anonymous and they can't be found," said Trosper.
On Thursday, five months after investigating ISP accounts, computers and other cyber data, police say they discovered that "serious as a heart attack" is actually Tristan James Hall. They believe he tried to find an on line hit-man from a computer in his Corbin apartment.
If you think you can put something on the internet and no one will ever know, police say, think again.
"You can track down the information that is needed to identify where it is coming from," said Trosper.
Hall declined to give his side of the story from jail, but even if his defense would be that the posting wasn't serious or if it was meant as a joke, to police it's serious business.
"We have to treat them all as credible and we have to act upon them as if they are credible," said Trosper.
Police say they're still investigating the motive behind the alleged threat to the Corbin woman's life.

Geoplasma is planning to build a plasma arc incineration plant in a south Florida county where 3,000 tons of trash a day will be instantaneously gasified at 10,000° Fahrenheit. The process yields syngas, slag for road construction and steam for a nearby factory. The syngas is used to generate 120 megawatts a day, a third of which powers the facility. Toxic compounds are rendered harmless by the intense heat, and although the process still releases CO2, it is less per unit energy than traditional energy generation sources.
"It addresses two of the world's largest problems -- how to deal with solid waste and the energy needs of our communities," County Commissioner Chris Craft said. "This is the end of the rainbow. It will change the world."
He probably meant to say it was "Worldchanging."
via: Wired News
I'm pretty skeptical--there are a lot of folks around who incinerate trash, and the higher-temp ones always claim that the pollution and CO2 is minimal. It's theoretically possible that they can actually keep the vaporized heavy metals, to take one example, from being released into the atmosphere; but if they don't you're talking about a lot of toxicity.
The waste industry has such a history of corruption and fraud that greens should be very careful about buying into claims like this unless some impressive independent authorities have looked into it.
Whether or not this technology will succeed is, like anything else, a matter of economics.
My current electric bill is equal to about 14% of my mortgage/tax bill, and about 5% of my after tax income. My house is almost a 100 years old, so not a model of energy efficiency, but this is a house
with most all CFLs, front-loader washing machine, and a 14 cu. ft. super-efficient fridge (trust me -- it was damn hard finding a 14 cu. ft. fridge, because apparently most Americans don't even look at anything smaller than 20 cu. ft. even if it is just one person and her cat in the house).
That said, doubling my electric bill to pay for an incineration plant, and thus, avoid a landfill, would be a significant hardship. But that is not enough basis to be able to answer the above question because I don't know the cost of not significantly reducing landfill waste. That is one of those out-of-sight-out-of-mind costs that
society has done so well hiding from us.
I would guarantee that, if, just like my hometown, Madison, needs a $30 sticker for disposing appliances, it enforced a sticker for futons, mattresses, and carpets, we would see a significant reduction in landfill waste.
My sense is that the brainiacs who estimate such costs don't even consider the long-term, intergenerational, societal cost of filling up
anaerobic landfills with crap that will outlast Hostess twinkies, and neither do the x-marts of this world that get more and more of the same junk made in far-away places. Obsolescence is built into everything we buy.
Hey, if you can buy a new microwave for $30, would you pay $75 to repair your old one? If you can buy a new or refurb ink-jet printer with ink cartridges for $45, would you pay $55 for just the
So, double the cost of NOT reducing waste in the landfills, and I will happily agree to doubling the cost of my electric bill to pay for the incineration plant. It is all about the economics, stupid.
Heavy metals as Dave mentioned, and dioxin? Atoms don't disappear! What happens to the slag used for road-building, once the road starts eroding?
This *may* be a cost-effective way of emptying existing landfills, but I doubt it can be cheaper than not producing the garbage in the first place, or diverting waste to make other value-added products (compost?).
I'm sorry, if I am going to drink the Kool-aid, I'd rather believe mass disassembly will allow us to mine landfills.
This is just a bad idea. I see this as just another form of throwing "away". What a loss of potential material resources for marginal secondary products. Let's focus our energy on: cradle2cradle, design for dissasembly, massive reuse-reclaimation, and composting of organics.
If their claims of neutralising toxins are correct, then maybe the proper use of this technology is to remove finally unredeemably contaminated materials that we cannot otherwise recycle (lead contaminated paint/soil, aesbestos).
Well forget the economics, forget the technology itself just look at the company. If you even check out their website they have virtually no information on the technology. You get a short hype video that doesn't even show an existing machine. You see a plasma torch but no machine. Have these guys even built a commercial system or do they just have a torch over a hole in the ground? It seems like Florida has jumped in too early without even looking at the snake oil salesman in front of them. Just listening to their video it shows they have no idea what they speak of. One of the guy claims he thinks this could be economical. Another "thinks" this is the cleanest, safest technology. Do they not even know of what they speak. There seems to be something weird going on in Florida. A company that doesn't seem to have ever built anything suddenly gets to do 3,000 tons per day of waste this makes no sense. These guys don't even have any kind of waste management experience. I hope the florida officials think more clearly before jumping into bed with such virtual unknowns

Why Dana Milbank Loves Newt Gingrich
Friday, February 10, 2012
A few weeks ago Dana Milbank, political columnist for the Washington Post, pinned his heart on his sleeve and wrote a very high profile love letter. To Newt Gingrich. It was raw, it was honest and it was a totally tongue-in-cheek way of acknowledging the vested interest that reporters have in the seemingly endless horse race coverage. Milbank tells Bob why it was time to take his Newt love to the next level.

LETHBRIDGE, Alta. -- Long before NHL Central Scouting's Chris Edwards became a respected scout, he was learning from the best of them.
It's the same road every scout takes, actually.
"Mike Sands worked with us at Central Scouting and I did a lot of traveling with him," Edwards said. "Then, he went on to Calgary and I actually took his job scouting when he left, but he was a guy who really helped me out a lot."
Sands previously served as an amateur scout for the Flames and with Central Scouting.
But the list doesn't end there. Edwards also received assistance from Frank Bonello (Central Scouting director, 1992-2005), Paul Goulet, Gerry Blair and several others.
"Frank Bonello gave me the opportunity to start scouting so I did a lot of traveling with him as well," Edwards said. "The thing is, you learn how to travel and live the life as a scout with veterans who have done it. I was fortunate enough where I learned how to that before I started scouting. I've been around all the guys, and listened to them for a lot of years while driving in the car with them."
Edwards then recalled Hockey Hall of Famer Jim Gregory. After 1979, Gregory became Central Scouting's director and, in 1986, the Executive Director of Hockey Operations. He was elected into the Hall of Fame in 2007 and is the current chairman of the Hall of Fame committee.
"I remember doing all that video work and I used to have to go with Jimmy Gregory to a lot to Detroit, Ottawa and Buffalo hockey games," Edwards said. "We had to make certain the video replay system was running properly. We had some bugs in the beginning, so I spent a lot of time with Jimmy over the years. During that time, I was able to go into the coaches' office and I remember going in and listening to Jimmy and Scotty Bowman talk. You learn about the game just by listening to these guys and it made a big impression on me."
Most importantly, however, Edwards remembers how gracious, understanding and personable Gregory always happened to be.
"There are so many good people in the game and especially Jim Gregory," Edwards said. "When you see the way he treats people; he's a guy in the Hall of Fame … to treat people as well as he does, that's the way you've got to be in this game if you're going to survive. There are some guys who come in and don't last very long, and it's simply because they lack the good people skills."
Then, there was the bond Edwards created with the late E.J. McGuire, who passed away last April following a five-month battle with cancer.
"E.J. taught me a lot about what it takes to be a pro hockey player and that came from his coaching days," Edwards said. "You listen to him talk about a player and he'd say this player does this very well and I could use him as a checker or whatever. You'd listen to the way the game is played from a guy who just finished coaching; it was very helpful."
The relationship between Edwards and McGuire wasn't just a one-way street, either. McGuire benefitted from Edwards' familiarity of Canadian geography. Something NHL.com has learned this week during the 'Life of a Scout' series -- Edwards doesn't use a GPS system or even a map at any time!
"E.J. didn't know where Moose Jaw was in relation to Swift Current or Medicine Hat," Edwards said. "So from my end of it, I may have helped him out with travel through the junior loops."
Bottom line here is, scouts help scouts. The respect is always mutual.

Moto reading slider with 5MP camera, Wi-Fi
updated 03:55 pm EDT, Fri October 24, 2008
Motorola VE66 Leak
A leak today through a Chinese news site today has revealed possible Motorola plans for a new, high-end slider phone. The VE66 should carry a five-megapixel camera and will have fairly complete networking, including an HSDPA/UMTS model for 3G cellular access in both Europe and North America as well as Wi-Fi. It should also take the design slightly higher than most Motorola phones with touch controls at the corners of the directional pad.
Linux will reportedly also power the phone, which should be fast and visually rich with a 500MHz Freescale chip and a 16 million-color display.
The VE66 as shown appears to still be in mid-development and isn't likely to see a near-term release, putting its release into 2009; a US release through AT&T or T-Mobile is possible and should be followed by a 2G-only version of the phone for China.
