We already put Greek yogurt on pretty much everything we eat, so we figure why not put it on our skin as well? This after sun cream ($23) offers instant relief for sunburns, and packs your skin with moisture to help prevent peeling. Even though it says it contains real, edible yogurt, we're going to suggest sticking to Chobani if you need a snack.

The "Big Brother 16" houseguest list has been released and is already causing controversy. Diehard fans are not pleased with what they term the "racial inequality" of the current group of houseguests. In addition, the majority of the houseguests are under 30 and single. Singer/actress Ariana Grande's older brother is one of the newest "Big Brother" houseguests.
The list of "Big Brother 16" houseguests was released on Thursday, June 19 and includes two married females and one married man. Twitter and Facebook went into overdrive as fans reacted to the names on the list. You can find the entire list of "Big Brother 16" houseguests on Gossip Chick's website.
The houseguests include Amber Borzotra, 26, originally from Knoxville, Tenn. Amber is a single esthetician currently living in Hollywood, Calif. Another female Californian is Brittany Martinez, 29, a single event coordinator originally from Long Beach, Calif.
Christine Brecht, 23, a barista from Tuscon, Ariz., Jocosta Odom, 33, a minister from Lovejoy, Ga., and Derrick Levasseur, 30, a police sergeant from Providence, R.I. are the only three married "Big Brother 16" houseguests. Of the 16 new houseguests, 12 are under the age of 30.
Donny Thompson, 42, a school groundskeeper from Albemarle, N.C., and Frankie Grande, 31, originally from Boca Raton, Fla., round out the list of "Big Brother 16" houseguests age 30 or older. All Voices gives the details on how Frankie Grande told his sister Ariana Grande he was going to be on "Big Brother."
Many diehard "Big Brother" fans expressed concern that fans of both Frankie Grande and Ariana Grande would "take over the show" without ever having even watched an episode. Some are concerned that this will spoil their enjoyment of not only the show, but of the live feeds. Fans pay approximately $25 for the entire season of 24/7 live feed coverage.
Some of the houseguests may celebrate a birthday while in the "Big Brother" house. Zach Rance, a recent college graduate, will turn 24 on Sept. 9. If still in the "Big Brother 16" house Rance will share his birthday with former professional baseball player Devin Shepherd, who will be 27 that same day. Also possibly celebrating birthday in the "Big Brother" house is Jocasta Odom will turn 34 on Aug. 10.
"Big Brother 16" will premiere on Wednesday, June 25 at 8:00 pm ET. The premiere will continue on Thursday, June 26 as part of a two-night event.

Bears' Football Anticipates Promising Season
September 4, 2014
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Coming off a strong performance last year, the Bears' varsity football team gears up for another outstanding season. Despite falling to Los Gatos in the CCS semifinals, M-A has restructured their team in hopes of making a deeper run in the 2014 post-season.
The Bears will look to their youth to fuel both the offense and defense this season. After losing key players such as Brian Keare, Isiah Nash, Oliver Bucka, Ryan Roberts, Brian Jaggers, and Jonothan Simonian due to graduation, the team will look to their younger players to lead the team to success.
Additionally, the team has worked since last spring to come together as a family and build more chemistry on and off the field. From summer workouts to team sleepovers and dinners, the Bears will appear as a united front this fall.
Over this time together, certain key players have stepped up as leaders for the team. Junior quarterback Robby Beardsley will manage the offense from behind center, while sophomore Stavro Papadakis has grown to become the anchor on defense at middle linebacker.
As the preseason winds down, the Bears look forward to their first matchup against Campolindo this Friday.
"[We're] super confident for Campolindo" said Beardsley. "We know we have to come out physical because we are the stronger team up front".

The Hyde Park Branch Library at 35 Harvard Avenue in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Boston is another example of a branch that originally was a municipal library of a suburb. In 1873, the Town of Hyde Park opened the first iteration in Cobb's building on Everett Square in downtown Hyde Park.
In 1884, the Hyde Park Public Library moved to larger quarters in the Masonic Block at the corner of Harvard Avenue and River Street. In December of 1898, ground broke for the Beaux Arts style building.
It opened in September of 1899. The Hyde Park Public Library became the Hyde Park Branch of the Boston Public Library thirteen years later when Boston annexed Hyde Park in 1912. This is the last time Boston annexed one of its suburbs.
The B.P.L. stated, "The marble fireplace, high ceilings, and turn of the century details have charmed patrons for generations." In 1997 ground was broken for a new addition. Schwartz/Silver Architects designed the addition and renovation of the existent building.
The project doubled the size of the Hyde Park Branch. A grand re-opening ceremony with Mayor Thomas M. Menino was held in January of 2000.
In May of 2006, the Hyde Park Branch was awarded a 2006 Best Accessible Design Award. This award, sponsored jointly by the Boston Society of Architects and the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board, honors the design and construction of facilities which provide access to disabled people.
On her blog "Lacquered Life," Charleston resident Olivia Brock placed the addition to the Hyde Park Branch Library on a list with the glass pyramid in front of the Louvre, the new wings of the Akademia Park Officium in Budapest, the Space Asia Hub (comprised of a glass addition to a white bungalow) in Singapore, and the addition to the Morgan Library & Museum in New York City. She wrote, in part, "Without delving too far into preservation theory… these contemporary additions to historic buildings place huge emphasis on the idea that we should not falsify history. An addition… makes it very clear to the visitor/viewer which part of the building is old, and which part of the building is new; whereas in an addition which utilized classical building technique, the relative age of the two structures would not be apparent to the passerby."
The Jamaica Plain Branch began in June of 1876, as a small reading room in Curtis Hall, with books supplied by the Roxbury Branch of the B.P.L. In September of 1877, it expanded and became the first B.P.L. branch to purchase books from public funds.
After a fire in 1908, the present brick building at 12 Sedgwick Street in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood was constructed. The B.P.L. stated, "The architecturally distinctive building features large schoolhouse windows and two fireplaces."
It opened on July 24, 1911. An addition was built in 1936. The interior was remodeled in 1963.
Library service in the Lower Mills district of the Dorchester neighborhood began through a branch delivery post in 1875. It was open three hours each day to take requests for books and to deliver books requested from the Central Library and the Dorchester Branch.
Full branch services began in 1876 with a dedicated collection and expanded hours. In 1883, branch service was moved into the vacated Blue Hills Bank building. In 1931, space owned by the American Legion was purchased and in 1936 a small addition was completed.
Eventually the collection outgrew that building and the present Lower Mills Branch building opened at 27 Richmond Street in the Dorchester neighborhood in 1981. In 2005, the branch underwent renovation, a new façade was designed, and the heating and cooling systems were up-dated. The B.P.L. stated, "The building in general got a 'face lift' and is bright and airy."
The Lower Mills Branch has a particularly strong collection of mystery novels. It is also building its collections of medical and general reference books for the benefit of students in the neighborhood's medical and other tertiary schools. It has collections on Dorchester history in general and the Lower Mills district in particular.
Mattapan is another district of Dorchester. Increase S. Smith founded the Mattapan Library Association on December 18, 1849.
In 1870, Boston annexed the suburb of Dorchester. The Mattapan Branch Library began with a reading room attached to the delivery station in the Oakland Hall Building in Mattapan. In 1898, the book collection consisted of ninety-eight volumes.
Around 1924, the population of Mattapan began to increase rapidly. As newer groups began to establish themselves in the more central Boston neighborhoods, Jewish immigrants began to settle in Mattapan in large numbers.
The B.P.L. bestowed branch status on that small reading room in Mattapan in 1923, but it could not meet the demand of the growing population. Annual circulation climbed from 20,000 volumes in 1924 to 75,010 in 1926.
Mattapan residents began to organize to petition authorities for a new library. On June 22, 1931, the Mattapan Library Branch at 10 Hazelton Street opened its doors.
The Hazelton Street branch served the neighborhood for over seventy-five years. The formation of a Mattapan Library Task Force, the acquisition of necessary funding in 1997, and the perseverance of Mayor Thomas Menino and Councilor Charles Yancey led to construction of the current iteration. The B.P.L. stated, "On February 28, 2009 the Mattapan community celebrated the opening of an architecturally-stunning, technologically enhanced, and service-rich new Mattapan Branch at 1350 Blue Hill Avenue."

Sometimes bad things happen to good people. Things such as are not under our control. For example, recently my son had a misfortune. On his way to work, when weather conditions were not so great, he hit an embankment and thus caused front end damage to the car. It was his fortune that he was not hurt and that he did not cause harm to anyone else. However, is it his misfortune that he for the moment has to rely on other's for transportation? Perhaps you might ask yourself why on earth would he be driving in bad weather conditions. Well, what if I was to tell you that he was on his way to his job, in which he rarely ever misses a day. When others had called in, here he was loyally fulfilling his commitment to his employer despite the risk it may have possibly caused. In this day of high employment, isn't that what we do at all costs – try to keep our jobs? So isn't it strange - even satirical that had he called in just one day – that one day- he would still be driving and not depending on others to take him to work. In a sense, had he been unreliable, he could now be reliable. Sometimes thing happen which are unplanned and totally out of our control. Still, there is always a lesson to be learned from everything that we do. We don't know yet what his particular lesson may be. Perhaps, it may be having gratitude for what we have even our own life. Perhaps it is my comfort that he won't be driving in the awful snow that has caused a state of emergency several times in this New York city, in which he resides. Perhaps, it will be the happiness he will feel when he is driving again and the comfort of knowing that his persistence in wearing a seatbelt may have saved him from injury or death. How fortunate. I am especially comforted in knowing that he is a much more skillful driver than he used to be.
So now he must wait to hear from his insurance carrier http://www.directgeneral.com/ and I guess all seems so unclear to him right now. Yet, I am sure that just as the phoenix rises again, this situation will not deter him from working, nor will it prevent him from pursuing his musical dreams. Just as he pursued his educational goals and graduated with a college education, he will persevere in spite of circumstances and not despite them.
What is the true lesson here? As I can see it, the lesson is that without things that happen to us despite all the good that we do, we would not find out what strength we have when bad things happen in spite of all that we do to prevent them. When we are young. .we all may not have bad times in which to build on to ensure us that good times are on the way…SO I LOOKED UP TO HEAVEN AND KNEW THAT MY DELIVERANCE WAS NEAR. Even if it is not near, children be comforted that you will survive.

Today I setup an EC2 instance. I'm wondering what is the typical architecture on amazon cloud for web applications. I think its something like this but I'm missing something:

I'm not sure how these things work. For example, how to setup simple image uploading service where every picture is uploaded through PHP and then saved on S3. Later, when somebody visits a link its displayed from S3.

As we head toward the end of spring and gear up for summer, it's the perfect time to introduce you to Jenn Summers (no pun intended). The singer-songwriter plays the kind of upbeat music that you'd listen to on that trip to the beach or that long drive to a vacation spot, and she's just released her EP Catching Fireflies. BFTV spoke with Jenn recently to discuss her new music - and what gives her that great attitude.
"The CD is very different than the last CD [When Life Gives You Lemons]. And I kind of used the mentality of the last CD to get through this CD," Jenn explained. "I want [listeners] to know I'm someone who likes to kind of deal with things and look at the bright side and get through it.
"That's what I want people to know about me in any scenario. I'm a heart disease survivor, and I've been well now for over 10 years. But ever since then I've kind of had the mentality of making happy, soothing music to help me get through things."
Her sound is also unique because she plays an instrument you don't often hear in popular music: the ukulele. How did that happen? "I feel like it's kind of making a comeback. And I am awful at playing the guitar," Jenn laughed. "So one of the writers on my last CD taught me how to play the ukulele."
After meeting producer Jason Spiewak and joining his songwriting group, she found herself penning a song a week on the ukulele, and it's just stuck. "A lot of people think I've been uprooted at birth or something," she added, "and I totally was born in Brooklyn, raised in New York."
If you want to hear what we're talking about, look to the top of this article to check out Jenn's first official music video from her previous album, a nod to beach party movies that features said ukulele.
Catching Fireflies has a lot of emotion in its tracks, because Jenn was going through several challenges as she put the record together. "One of the songs ['Back To Where We Started'] I was writing with my friend Andrea Nardello, and in the middle of that session, I got a call that my cousin had passed away. She was very young, she was 25, and she died of cystic fibrosis. It was very sad."
That wasn't the only thing she overcame. "I had a really bad breakup last summer and we were together for eight years. I really did not want to do anything," she continued. "And two weeks after the breakup I went to Nashville to do some writing for this CD." That resulted in 'Second's Not For Me,' which she calls her "hardcore breakup song."
We often talk about albums being reflections of their performers, but Catching Fireflies really is the saga of Jenn Summers in five songs. Not only in the tone of the record, or the content of the individual tracks, but in that it represents a bold step forward for the up-and-coming artist, who was once told she didn't have the chops to be a songwriter.
"I feel super-successful [already], because I wrote all the songs on this CD," she explained. "On the first CD, I was given a few of the first songs...so I think I'm most happy that I wrote every one of those songs and I'm still writing.
"My favorite thing about music now is the creation of music," she said. "Writing the songs on my simple ukulele, and then bringing them into the studio and creating this whole atmosphere." It's an atmosphere of positive energy and can-do attitude - exactly what you'd want to listen to on a (dare we say it?) summer day.
Jenn Summers' new EP Catching Fireflies is available now on iTunes. For more on Jenn, be sure to visit her official website (jennsummersmusic.com) and follow her on Twitter (@jennsmusic).

College Hockey:MSU Wins Shootout Over Ohio State
Lerg Stops 36
EAST LANSING, Mich. — For the Michigan State Spartans this season, no points come easy. Up 1-0 on No. 16 Ohio State with just over 10 seconds to go, the Spartans saw their best chance at their first back-to-back wins since late October evaporate when Buckeye Hunter Bishop finally beat MSU goaltender Jeff Lerg at 19:49 with the net empty at the other end.
However, it was Lerg that nearly willed that win into reality during regulation and Lerg who was outstanding in overtime, and Lerg who prevailed during the shootout, stopping three of four rounds to give the Spartans two points and their first three-game unbeaten streak in 20 games.
"We're not going to win easy; that's obvious," said MSU coach Rick Comley. "Jeff was spectacular again."
The senior goaltender made 36 saves in the contest, including 13 in the third period and four quality OT shots. In the shootout, he allowed one goal to Ohio State's Zac Dalpe but stymied Corey Elkins, Peter Boyd and the man who beat him with 11 seconds left on the clock, Hunter Bishop.
"I felt good down the stretch there," said Lerg. "I had to make some of my best saves of the year down the stretch. After I made two or three big ones in a row, I thought we were going to seal it out. To be honest, I'm kind of disappointed here. I kind of felt like I gave it my all and for 20 seconds we just couldn't push a little bit extra and work a little bit harder and even ice the puck. That's the negative of the game."
The one that beat him was a shot from the right circle that hit Lerg's shoulder, shot up to the crossbar, and ricocheted into the net behind the goalie.
"You talk about bad luck," said Comley. "Three times [tonight] that puck stays up on the ledge, three straight times, and all it's got to do is come off the ledge and we chip it out and the game is over."
"I felt it hit my shoulder," said Lerg. "I didn't see. I thought I got it all, but obviously not."
The goal came 20 seconds after Lerg made a series of spectacular point-blank saves that culminated in the goaltender's nimble save on a rebound shot by Boyd. Although Lerg didn't see the shot that beat him, he did see the shooter.
"I felt like he was on his own planet over there," said Lerg. "I looked and I did not see one other person close to him. Kind of a heartbreaker."
After a scoreless first period, the Spartans took a 1-0 lead at 8:12 in the second on freshman Brett Perlini's first career goal from Matt Schepke and Brandon Gentile. Schepke tried to center in front of the net but his pass was deflected by Boyd, trying to intercept. As the puck squibbed away from Boyd toward the crease, Perlini crashed in to score from close range.
In the shootout, MSU's Kurt Kivisto and Ben Warda beat OSU goaltender Dustin Carlson to give the Spartans two CCHA points. Kivisto's shot went in midway up on the right and Warda's through Carlson's five-hole.
"I thought they played a great game," said OSU coach John Markell. "I thought they out-battled us for pucks in front of the net in critical areas that we needed to have. Obviously, Lerg is the backbone of that team."
Markell had little praise for his own team after the game, and indeed the whole outfit seemed out of synch. Before coming into the contest, Ohio State had the No. 5 offense in the nation and top in the CCHA. In addition to the Buckeyes' inability to score, OSU committed two too-many-men penalties, both coming after unsuccessful power-play attempts.
Those extra-man penalties, said Markell, were "a little bit about our bench and I take responsibility for that, and he added that the Buckeyes' power play "continues to be a mystery." Both teams were 0-for-5 with the man advantage tonight.
Lerg took little comfort in keeping one of the best offensive teams in the country to one regulation goal. "It was tough. I felt like I was in the zone and I really wish we could have just taken two and given them nothing."
The Buckeyes (18-9-4, 11-8-4-3) and Spartans (8-18-4, 5-14-4-3 CCHA) meet again Saturday evening in Munn Arena at 5:05 p.m. For that contest, said Markell, the Buckeyes will have to be "prepared to play a tougher type of game."

Balsillie shelves dream of owning Coyotes
Jim Balsillie's dream to "make it seven" is over. Balsillie ended his bid to buy the bankrupt Phoenix Coyotes and move them to Hamilton after his offer was rejected Wednesday by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Redfield T. Baum, who also rejected the National Hockey League to buy the beleaguered franchise.
Jim Balsillie's dream to "make it seven" is over.
Balsillie ended his bid to buy the bankrupt Phoenix Coyotes and move them to Hamilton after his offer was rejected Wednesday by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Redfield T. Baum, who also rejected the National Hockey League to buy the beleaguered franchise.
Balsillie, the billionaire co-CEO of BlackBerry maker Research in Motion, said he would not appeal the judge's decision.
"From the beginning, my attempt to relocate the Coyotes to Hamilton has been about Canadian hockey fans and Canadian hockey," Balsillie said in a news release. "It was a chance to realize a dream. All I wanted was a fair chance to bring a seventh NHL team to Canada, to serve the best unserved hockey fans in the world. I believe I got that chance. I respect the court's decision, and I will not be putting forward an appeal."
Balsillie, through his company, PSE Sports and Entertainment, and the NHL were the only bidders in an auction for the Coyotes, who've been in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection since May.
"In hockey parlance, the court is passing the puck to the NHL, who can decide to take another shot at the sale net or it can pass off the puck," Baum wrote in his 30-page ruling.
Baum rejected the PSE's bid "with prejudice," saying Balsillie's bid could not be successful because it doesn't meet the NHL's rules about relocating a franchise. The NHL's bid was rejected "without prejudice," meaning he left the door open for the NHL to modify its bid and could not rule on an offer he has yet to see.
"It's a major victory for the NHL and, more generally, it's a major victory for professional sports leagues: maverick prospective owners can't alter the rules at their own choice. This ruling is limited to the NHL, but other leagues had an interest in this case," said Michael McCann, an associate professor of law at Vermont Law School and a columnist and legal analyst for SI.com.
Even if Balsillie had appealed the ruling, McMann said the effort might have been fruitless.
"In all likelihood, I think it's the end of the road," McCann added about Balsillie's efforts to buy the team. "It seems that the end game is that (Balsillie) will not own a team in the NHL because of the will reject him. No matter what, at the end of the day, he does not end up with the team."
Baum rejected the NHL's bid because he said it gives the league the power to determine which creditors will be paid in full. He wrote that with a revised bid, the NHL could become the team's owner, saying the NHL_can "cure the defects in its bid if it elects to make the required amendments."
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly was encouraged by Judge Baum's ruling.
"We are pleased that the bankruptcy court has confirmed the league's right to select its owners and the location of its franchises," Daly said in a news release. "We are reviewing the opinion and considering how we can best address the court's concerns regarding our offer to purchase the Coyotes. It remains our goal to secure the long-term stability of the Coyotes in Glendale."
The NHL vehemently opposed Balsillie's bid and entered its own $140-million US bid when other suitors — Chicago sports magnate Jerry Reinsdorf and Ice Edge Holdings, a group of U.S. and Canadian investors — dropped out of the bidding process. After Baum rejected both bids, Ice Edge appears to be back in the picture.
"We have continued to work with the city of Glendale throughout this process and believe we will be in a good position to put in a competitive offer for the team when the NHL is finally awarded the franchise," Ice Edge CEO Daryl Jones said in an e-mail Wednesday afternoon. "Needless to say, we are very encouraged by the judge's ruling."
Ice Edge had said it would pay up to $150 million for the Coyotes and would keep the team in Arizona, playing at Jobing.com Arena in Glendale. It did say it wanted to play a number of regular-season games and perhaps some playoff dates in Canada, most likely Saskatoon.
Although the group received a positive response from the NHL for its bid, Ice Edge withdrew from the bidding just days before the Sept. 11 and 12 auction because it hadn't made sufficient headway with the city of Glendale regarding the lease for Jobing.com_Arena.
The court process began in May when PSE Sports and Entertainment put in a $212.5-million offer to buy the Coyotes after current owner Jerry Moyes put the team into bankruptcy protection. PSE later boosted that bid to $242.5 million. Balsillie tried to stoke grassroots support by launching an online "Make it Seven" campaign where fans could show their support for moving the Coyotes to Hamilton.
Balsillie, who previously made attempts to buy the Pittsburgh Penguins and Nashville Predators, was rejected as a prospective owner by the NHL's board of governors, who in July voted 26-0 against accepting Balsillie as an owner. The board cited character issues in its rejection of Balsillie.
Nonetheless Balsillie believes his efforts weren't for naught, saying his push has shown that Canadians would support another team north of the border.
"Nobody can deny that we are now a big step closer to having a seventh NHL team in Canada," Balsillie said in a release. "It doesn't matter who owns that team. When that day comes, I will be the first in line to buy a ticket to the home opener."

There are consequences and repercussions for your actions.
This is a phrase some of us have heard; akin to the statement, "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction", it refers to the concept of based on what you do, the response is likely to be equal.
But sometimes, the response sometimes supercedes the precipitating action. This is something that is playing itself out in a number of ways, ranging from global concerns, areas of concern in our cities, and discrepancies noted in the over-application of the law and tactics by government entities.
Having an improved point of reference is essential for being able to understand the nature of said problems, along with the ways problems can be better addressed and even solved. On Thursday, August 21st (from 7-9pm), a town hall is taking place to help provide access to resources to identify and better evaluate timely and improved pro and reactions to different areas of concern.
Presented by the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Georgia and the St. James Council of the Knights of Pythagoras, radio stations V103 and 1380 WAOK are holding their town hall meeting. Entitled "The Consequences of Thug Life", the focus is to improve awareness and understanding of the end results that choices along these lines can make, most (if not all) of which result in an untimely, unproductive, and self-destructive outcome.
Supported by the Davis-Bozeman Law Firm and featuring attorney at law Mawuli Mel Davis, the town hall provide an opportunity for youth and adults in the immediate community to come together to articulate the matters at hand, specifically in helping young people avoid the mistakes that can result in involvement in the legal system. The event takes place at the Prince Hall Grand Lodge Building in College Park (7340 Old National Highway).
Davis has an extensive record of work with youth and the immediate community, including a number of cases including personal injury, wrongful death, criminal defense, and civil rights cases. His recognition from civic and community based organizations are wide-ranging, including forthcoming recognition from the civic organization Sistas Inspiring Sistas as their Social Innovator of the year.
The event is free and open to the public. For further information and details, those who are interested may contact the firm via email (at email@example.com).
There are multiple needs and areas of concern, especially as it relates to young people. The town hall on August 21st is an opportunity for interconnected communities to share, discuss, and map out approaches grounded in safety and success for young people. With cases such as the one dealing with Michael Brown and the questionable use of force by law enforcement, there may be no such thing as too much information or too many entities conducting programs of this type and kind.
Otherwise, there may be some severe consequences and even more severe repercussions.

Our aim is to be a continually evolving pioneer and leader in the field of resource recycling.
DOWA ECO-SYSTEM's Environmental Management & Recycling Division has the broad-based expertise and high level of technology that allows the recapture of twenty-two (22) different metals, including gold and silver, derived from the refinement techniques developed in the metal mining and smelting industry. We are promoting the formation of a Recycling-Oriented Society by our treatment technology and our recycling network.
Recycling of 22 Different Metals
DOWA ECO-SYSTEM takes advantage of our advanced technology which was originally developed in DOWA's long-standing mining and refinement operations to extract precious metals such as gold and silver that are present in ores in very small concentrations. Currently, the Company recycles as many as twenty-two (22) different metallic elements using advanced metallurgical technologies. The recovered metal resources are brought back into society as newborn products such as accessories, electric substrates, films, electrical wires, and so forth.
The wide variety of metal recycling
Platinum Group Metals Recycling
In 2003, DOWA Group established a new company in the United States, Nippon PGM America, Inc., which recycles platinum group metals, such as platinum, palladium and rhodium, from the catalytic converters used to purify automobile exhaust fumes.
Nippon PGM America, Inc., maintains a dominant share of the catalyst recycling business, not only in the domestic (Japanese) market, but also in the world market.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Recycling
Two DOWA group companies, Eco-Recycle Co., Ltd. and Act-B Recycling Co., Ltd., disassemble or pulverize obsolete or inoperable home appliances (televisions, refrigerators, washing machine, air-conditioners, etc.), automobiles and office equipment (computers, copiers, phone systems, etc.) in order to recover recyclable material for DOWA Group's Kosaka Smelting & Refining Co., Ltd. The Kosaka facility makes efficient use of the incineration heat generated by the adjacent waste treatment facility operated by DOWA Group's ECO-SYSTEM AKITA to decompose ozone-depleting substances and greenhouse gasses (chlorofluorocarbons) in the end-of-life automobiles, refrigerators and air conditioners by thermal treatment.
End-of-Life Vehicle Recycling Law-Compliance
DOWA Group quickly responded to the Law for Recycling End-of-Life Vehicles which became effective in Japan on January 1st, 2005. At ECO-SYSTEM KOSAKA facility, precious metals are recovered from Automobile Shredder Residue (ASR), which formerly was disposed of as simple waste, by using their "Metal and Steam Recycling Incinerator".
The facility also recaptures the steam heat that is required for the process of refining the Automobile Shredder Residue and reuses it for energy in the recycling system. This method of collecting metal and steam simultaneously realizes a net reduction of environmental burdens and generates economic efficiencies.
In 2005, DOWA Group built an additional incinerator in West Japan, ECO-SYSTEM OKAYAMA, which established another location in Japan (in addition to ECO-SYSTEM KOSAKA in Northern Japan) for the processing of Automobile Shredder Residue.
ECO-SYSTEM KOSAKA "Metal and Steam Recycling Incinerator"
Recovery of Precious Metals by Wet Process
DOWA Group's ECO-SYSTEM RECYCLING recaptures precious metals, such as gold, silver and platinum, out of high-grade recyclable materials through the Wet Process.
Current operations are based at Saitama and Okayama, and expansion of operations to China is moving forward, promoting the safe treatment of wastes and recycling of metal resources in China itself.
New Recycling Furnace Currently
Kosaka Smelting & Refining Co., Ltd. of DOWA Holdings Co., Ltd. constructed a new furnace for the exclusive purpose of recycling. Materials to be processed include electronic substrates, scraps and residue containing precious metals and refractory ores. A total of 22 elements can be extracted. The new furnace system is designed efficiently; it contributes enormously to the reduction of environmental burdens by reducing the amount of waste generated and utilizing slag efficiently.

Our subject for today is one of the most beloved four-wheeled vehicles of all time. Who among us has not dreamed of driving one?
Well I went down to the local arena
Asked to see the manager man
He came from his office, said "Son can I help you?"
Looked at him and said "Yes you can.
"Hey, I wanna drive the Zamboni
"Hey, I wanna drive the Zamboni
"Yes I do"
--"Zamboni" (1990). Composed by Martin Zellar; performed by The Gear Daddies
Zamboni & Co. therefore continues to insist that the word "Zamboni," as applied to the machine, is a brand name and a trademark and therefore an adjective, but just about everyone else uses it as a noun. That machine clearing the ice between periods is the Zamboni.
As you've probably already guessed, both the Zamboni ice resurfacing machine and the company that makes it are named after the machine's inventor, Frank J. Zamboni, Jr. Mr. Zamboni lived in the Los Angeles area in the 1920s, where he made his living in the electrical supply business in partnership with his younger brother Lawrence.
In the days before electric refrigerators were widely available, people stored milk and other perishables in an icebox. This was an insulated cabinet that was kept cool by large blocks of ice delivered to your home by the iceman. (This, by the way, is the source of the title for Eugene O'Neill's stage play The Iceman Cometh.) In sunny Southern California in the 1920s, with its growing population and year-round warm temperatures, there were lots and lots of iceboxes, and ice was something of a hot commodity. The Zambonis saw an opportunity and opened an ice-making plant in 1927.
1927 was also the year in which General Electric began selling the first successful consumer model electric refrigerator. Even with the Great Depression in full swing, electric refrigerators steadily replaced the icebox, and cooled off the demand for block ice. The Zambonis scaled back their ice-making operation as the market declined, leaving them with a bunch of expensive industrial refrigeration equipment sitting idle. Instead of selling that equipment off secondhand, the Zambonis repurposed it and went into the entertainment business.
In 1940, Frank, Lawrence, and one of their cousins opened a 20,000 square foot public skating rink called "Iceland." Iceland was soon doing a thriving business. Skating was rapidly becoming a popular activity--thanks largely to Olympic figure skater Sonja Henie and traveling shows like the Ice Follies and Ice-Capades--and running an arena promised steadier employment than retailing block ice. General Electric wasn't going to be selling in-home electric ice rinks anytime soon!
While the industrial strength refrigeration system kept everything nice and cold automatically, maintaining a clean, smooth ice surface was done by hand. It took a crew of four or five men with a tractor about three and a half hours to scrape the ice down, remove the "snow" (shavings), wash and squeegee the surface, and apply clean water which would then freeze into a new surface. Frank Zamboni began to wonder if this operation could also be automated.
Over the next few years, he built several experimental ice machines, gradually working out critical details like how to keep the scraper blade steady and how to get all the snow picked up. By 1948, he was finally getting a consistent surface. The "Model A Zamboni Ice Resurfacer"--assembled from war-surplus bomber hydraulics, a Jeep engine, truck axles, and half-inch plywood--went into regular service at Iceland in 1949, and Frank applied for a patent on the design.
The Model A combined all the essential functions of ice maintenance in one handy piece of equipment. There was a blade to scrape the ice, an auger to sweep up the snow, a belt conveyor to carry the snow up out of the way and dump it in the overhead wooden snow tank, a system to squirt "wash water" onto the ice, and then remove it, and a clean water system to lay down the finished coat. The ice could now be completely resurfaced by one operator in about ten or fifteen minutes.
In 1950, Sonja Henie rented out Iceland to practice for her next touring ice show, and saw the Model A in action. She asked Frank if he could build her one. What she got was an improved design, the "Model B," which consisted of Frank Zamboni's patented resurfacing equipment and a steel snow tank carried on a war surplus Jeep.
Frank Zamboni delivered it by packing the ice-resurfacing equipment in a trailer and using the donor Jeep to pull it. When he arrived in Chicago, where Sonja's show was then playing, he unpacked the trailer and bolted it all together.
Four Model Bs were sold: one to a local rink in California, two to Sonja Henie's traveling shows, and the fourth to Ice-Capades. The three itinerant Model Bs were seen by rink operators all over the civilized world, many of whom were impressed enough to want one of their own. Frank Zamboni started getting orders for more machines in his mail, and figured he needed to incorporate the business. He originally wanted to call it "Paramount Engineering," but couldn't because that name was already in use by someone else, and that's probably for the best. "The Paramount" just doesn't have the same ring to it as "the Zamboni."
The evolution of Frank Zamboni's ice machine continued. The next version, designated Model C, improved on the Model B by increasing the size of the snow tank. It also moved the operator's station from down on the ice, where it was getting hard to see around the snow tank, to the elevated position where it is today.
The use of a complete Jeep as the vehicle's foundation gave way to a stripped Jeep chassis on the Model F of 1956, and eventually to a chassis fabricated in-house by Zamboni & Co. The HD-series introduced in 1964 replaced the paddle and chain snow conveyor with a more efficient vertical auger, and boasted a fully covered self-dumping snow tank. This is more or less the Zamboni we have today.
The current production models are the compact Model 445 and the full-sized 500-series. You can get them with CNG, propane, or gas engines, or as plug-in electrics. They have a top speed a little under 10 MPH. The chassis has no suspension system--the axles are bolted directly to the frame--but since the Zamboni only runs on flat surfaces, it doesn't really need springs.
Still owned and operated by Fank Zamboni's descendants, Zamboni & Co. builds about 200 self-propelled machines a year, and has sold over 10,000 to date. It also makes smaller ice machines with no drive system, designed to be pulled behind a tractor, and hand-pushed "edgers" for cleaning up the ice along the boards.
It was no surprise that the Zamboni became popular with hockey teams, ice shows, and rink operators, who appreciated the machine's efficiency and the quality of the ice surface it produced. What nobody quite saw coming was that the Zamboni would become a cultural icon. As Charlie Brown, that astute and influential (though fictional) observer of the human condition, famously put it:
There are three things in life that people like to stare at: a flowing stream, a crackling fire, and a Zamboni clearing the ice.
There is, indeed, something mesmerizing about the Zamboni. Shortly after one of the first machines went to work for the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks, the team's owner complained that his income from concessions had dropped. It seems that people were staying in their seats during the intermission to watch the Zamboni, instead of going for a hot dog!
In most arenas today, the Zamboni is treated as part of the entertainment, with corporate sponsors, formal introductions over the PA system ("Lay-dees and gen-tle-men, pree-sent-ing...The Great Zam-boni!"), theme music ("Zamboni" by the Gear Daddies, more often than not), spotlights, laser shows, and scoreboard animations. Many operators have promotions in which fans get a chance to ride the Zamboni--something which the manufacturer officially discourages. In Detroit, there's even an element of audience participation: Red Wings fans have a tradition of throwing octopi onto the ice while the Zamboni is at work.
"I, uh, wanted to do a story on the Zamboni for the Daily. What it takes to prep the ice, you know. Everyone always cheers when the Zamboni comes on --"
"Chick magnet." He gave a wink. "Stokes them up."
--James Lileks, Graveyard Special (2012)
But Zambonimania doesn't stop there. Zamboni & Co. sells officially licensed Zamboni merchandise ranging from the usual hats and T-shirts to die cast models, battery-powered remote control Zambonis, playing cards, golf balls, a Zamboni hand vac (!), a children's book (Z is for Zamboni), and a Zamboni stuffed toy. Zambonis appear in TV commercials and print ads; they've led funeral processions, been given out as Happy Meal toys, and gone for test drives with writers from sports magazines and buff books. Just about every movie involving hockey or figure skating has a Zamboni scene, sometimes several. In James Lileks' newly-published mystery novel Graveyard Special, there's a whole chapter on proper Zamboni operation, and the Zamboni plays a major role in the exciting conclusion. There's even a band called "The Zambonis"--they licensed the name from Zamboni & Co.--which performs hockey-themed novelty songs.
All this inspired by a piece of specialized industrial equipment.
I'll leave it to the psychologists to figure out the root cause of Zamboni Lust. Whatever it is that fascinates us about them, you have to admit that Zambonis are pretty cool. (Pun intended.)

GUEST AUTHOR: Rowena Cory Daniells "Besieged" & Giveaway (Ends 12/09/12)
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Rowena Cory Daniells, best selling author of the trilogy King Rolen's Kin, set out to write the kind of books that you curl up with on a rainy Saturday afternoon.
Her new fantasy trilogy, The Outcast Chronicles, has just been released in 2012.
Her noir-paranormal-crime The Price of Fame will also be released in 2012.
Writing: Part Inspiration, Part Perspiration
by Rowena Cory Daniells
First comes the love of story. That's the inspiration part.
This is me aged 7 with my black cat, Zorro.
When I was a child every Friday afternoon, the teacher would ask us to write a something in our composition books. I guess it was the end of the week, the teacher was tired and grumpy and so were the kids. I guess a classroom of children bent over their desks writing silently sounded like a good idea. Most of the kids dreaded Friday afternoons.
I loved them. It was a chance to set my imagination free and someone would read my story!
Because as much as the act of writing is all consuming and satisfying in itself, the reaction from the reader is the other half of the equation. I've wept and agonised along with my characters. I want to know that the reader has wept and cheered for them, too.
My poor teachers… No matter what topic they wrote on the blackboard I managed to make it interesting. Honestly, you'd think they set out to come up with bland topics. Didn't they know the world was a wonderful amazing place?
No matter, I would show them. I could find an interesting angle in the most mundane statement. Somehow I wrote stories full of adventure and amazement. I wrote one about a fancy dress ball in space, another about stumbling across a space ship while walking in the bush and accidently setting off the launch procedure, and another one about picking up the phone and overhearing aliens planning to conquer the earth. (I was nine years old and saw the telephone as an amazing communication device. I even used special effects. I made the aliens' conversation other-worldly by writing it with deliberately shaky handwriting so the teacher could tell aliens were speaking).
Did my teachers ever comment on the story? No, not once. All they ever did was list my spelling mistakes and make me write them out ten times. What was wrong with them? Didn't they realise that the story was the important thing? Spelling could come later, (and it did with the advent of spell-checker). One word of acknowledgement would have meant the world to me. It never came.
But that didn't stop me.
Because rejection doesn't stop a real writer, they just keep on writing and learning their craft. That's the perspiration part.
We grow up surrounded by stories. We learn important things through story (don't be like the boy who cried wolf). And we look for story in events. (Why did he do that? Did he get caught? What happened to the people he hurt?)
But that doesn't mean the vision we have in our minds can be transferred to the page successfully. This is where writing craft comes in, the perspiration that turns inspiration into story. I love reading. I'm always learning from other writers. And I'm always attempting new and better ways to translate my visions into words that will leap off the page and come to life in the reader's mind.
There once was a little girl. It was so beautiful it took her breath away and made her heart swell with joy. She wanted to know the story behind it, but no one could tell her. So she made one up.
(Maxfield Parrish. Daybreak)
She grew up to write stories (despite her teachers). She hopes that when you read her stories, you will feel that sense of wonder, be thrilled by the adventure and cheer for the characters because you are the other half of the equation. Without readers, writers are just voices in the void.
Sorry, I got a bit carried away there. But it is true. I would have given anything for a teacher who recognised my love of story and nurtured it by introducing me new writers but I went on to write any way.

|Jason McMillan demonstrates
equipment for DNA analysis.
The Finger Lakes Community College Wayne County Campus Center at 1100 Technology Parkway will host an open house Saturday, May 7, so the public can tour the state-of-the-art biology laboratory that opened there this semester.
The event runs from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and includes a ribbon-cutting, science demonstrations, a plant sale, chair massages, facility tours and a lecture by Jana Lamboy, associate professor of ornamental horticulture, on making gardens deer resistant.
The ribbon-cutting will be held at 10 a.m. The gardening lecture begins at 11:30 a.m.
For a video on the lab, click here.
For a video on the lab, click here.
The FLCC Wayne County Campus Center biology lab will be used for contemporary biology, general biology and anatomy and physiology. It is the result of a partnership between Finger Lakes Community College, the FLCC Foundation and the Wayne County Industrial Development Agency.
The college received a $238,000 congressionally-directed grant, which was matched by a $140,000 state grant, to buy and install lab equipment. The Wayne County IDA provided funding for the engineering study to convert 1,600 square feet of unfinished space into a lab and storage area. The FLCC Foundation, which raises money from the private sector to support college programs, funded the construction.
The new facility allows Wayne County students to complete biology labs at the campus center instead of traveling to the main campus. The number of students enrolled in biology courses with labs has doubled in the last 10 years. Students need lab courses to complete degree programs in nursing, conservation, horticulture and most science transfer programs.
Among the new lab's features:
- Lab stations for 24 students
- Equipment for DNA analysis complete with camera attachment
- 24 regular microscopes and 12 dissecting scopes (which have a lower magnification)
- EKG machines identical to the type used in medical offices to gage heart function
- Highly-accurate pH meters that also measure temperature
- Hand-held spirometers to measure lung volume
- A deionizer that makes distilled water using high-capacity filters, a greener alternative to heating and condensing water.
- New incubators, slide trays, laptop computers and other standard lab equipment
For more information, contact FLCC Community Affairs at (585) 785-1623.

The Painted Lady Restaurant Restaurant Review: "Painted Lady" is a reference to lavishly painted Victorian homes, the numerous colors highlighting the era's architectural embellishments. This lady resides on a quiet lane just off Newberg's main street; it's most definitely a special occasion restaurant, perfect for a romantic wine country weekend. In the dining room, chef Allen Routt offers a multi-course tasting menu that highlights the Willamette Valley's natural bounty. Selections may include a fizzy Concord grape soup; miso custard with Dungeness crab; potato-wrapped prawns; gnocchi with veal sweetbreads in a shiitake velouté sauce; salmon in a duxelle crust; and short ribs. Those with smaller appetites may select the chef's trio tasting menu. For dessert, we suggest the red velvet donut with cream cheese ice cream. Wine pairings highlighting local producers are optional. On warm summer days, outside seating is an extra treat.

Project AWARE's online environmental community working together for ocean protection.
User Profile
I began making short films in high school. After graduation, my father gave me my first 35mm film camera. In 1977 it was almost an antique, the Argus C3 35mm film camera. I soon became a serious amateur SLR photographer, upgrading my gear and studying. In college I choose computers as my career but never gave up my love for film, and soon expanded it to included graphic images such as fractal designs.
I became a certified scuba diver in 2001. In 2002 I was handed my son's digital underwater camera, while on a dive. I quickly figured out how to use it and even more exciting I found the video mode. Although I always have had the highest standards for my equipment and my work, a digital SLR with underwater housing was out of my reach at the time. I slowly moved from predominately stills to underwater video.
In 2005 I met Mary Lynn Price and my filming direction and motivations have never been the same. She has both inspired me and mentored me. She encouraged me to switch to undersea HDV (high definition video). In 2005 I was fortunate enough to purchased a professional HDV camcorder. And in 2006 I purchased an underwater housing and began my undersea filming in earnest. I have sold stock footage and imaging to RS-FILM, a German TV station, DiveNav, an interactive 3D diving simulation product, and ArtToMedia, a producer of waterproof 3D Dive Maps.
In 2007 I was asked to join the San Diego UnderSea Film Exhibition as a committee member. SDUFEX is committed to "showcas[ing] some of the best of the underwater video creations". In 2008 SDUFEX became SDUFEX, Inc., a local venue to showcase some of the best of the underwater video creations of divers the world over.

The College of Engineering and Science, in partnership with the Holcombe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), is proud to announce the inaugural year of the Inquiry, Discovery in Engineering and Science (IDEaS) Graduate Teaching Assistantship (GTA) Program. The IDEaS GTA program has been developed to meet the needs of increasing Ph.D. stipend levels and providing additional instructional support for General Engineering. This new GTA program will be funded primarily from the ECE department's online undergraduate program.
The IDEaS GTA program provides ECE Ph.D. students with annual stipends of $25K. These IDEaS teaching assistantship recipients will be selected each year from top ECE Ph.D. students. Several factors are taken into consideration when the ECE department selects a recipient for the IDEaS GTA program. These factors include the student's undergraduate academic record, standardized examination scores, and technical-communication skills.
The responsibilities of each IDEaS GTA during the academic year will include serving as a teaching assistant supporting both ECE undergraduate labs and the General Engineering program. Specifically, in the fall semester, the IDEaS GTAs will lead an introductory-level Creative Inquiry project in General Engineering. In the spring semester, the IDEaS GTAs will work in the ENGR 141 course leading a more in-depth, discipline-specific project involving MATLAB and the Lego Mindstorm robotics system. During both summer semesters, the IDEaS GTAs will provide support for the ECE department's online undergraduate program, and they will interact with undergraduate students by providing online tutorials and help sessions. The IDEaS GTAs will also assist the ECE faculty with course development, thereby gaining valuable educational experience.
Three students have been awarded an IDEaS GTA starting in Fall 2010: Mr. Andrew Clarke, Mr. Douglas Dawson, and Mr. Nicholas Watts. Mr. Clarke received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Clemson University. He is now pursuing the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering with an emphasis in power systems. Mr. Dawson received the B.S. degree in computer engineering from Clarkson University in New York. Mr. Dawson is pursuing the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering with an emphasis in intelligent systems. Mr. Watts, a graduate of Clemson University's B.S. program in computer engineering, is pursuing the Ph.D. degree in computer engineering with an emphasis in intelligent systems.

"No, it doesn't ever get easier. You wouldn't want it to either." ~ Greg Glassman
People always say "CrossFit is HARD", "Eating healthy is HARD", "Preparing and packing my food is HARD". Well guess what… they are right! It is HARD. That's the beauty of it. During almost every WOD I have to continually talk myself through it because my first instinct is to stop and quit. That would certainly be easier. But then I remember how good I will feel afterward and I get through it. If intense training and eating healthy was easy then everyone would do it. Easy is average and average is overweight, on the couch or in front of the computer 95% of the time. Easy and average is a recipe for chronic disease because what is "easy" most of the time is unhealthy. It is those of us that expect more and strive to be more than average that can reap the rewards of accomplishing something HARD. What is the reward of doing something that requires no effort at all? Do you even remember that you did it? Compare that to the reward of a sub 3 minute FRAN or a spot on the Leader Board. How about the reward of wearing a bikini or buying clothes in a size you haven't been in since High School? What about the reward of never having to take prescription medication? If these are the rewards of what is HARD then count me in. I know if I show up and don't quit I will reap the rewards of CrossFit. Why would you ever want it to get easy?

November 27, 2012 would've been Jimi Hendrix's 70th birthday. As part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's celebration of the life and career of Jimi Hendrix, the Museum is home to a singular Jimi Hendrix exhibit, including drawings he made as a youngster growing up in Seattle, Washington with his father Al Hendrix.
