National Magazine Recognizes Biosolids Program
Charlotte Water wastewater treatment/biosolids staff was highlighted in the an issue of Treatment Plant Operator, a national industry magazine. The article focuses on the teamwork, training, challenges and rewards of converting wastewater into quality fertilizer for farms.
Click here to read the article
treats an average of 81 million gallons of wastewater every day. Biosolids are the safe, nutrient‐rich organic materials resulting from the treatment of domestic sewage at a wastewater treatment facility. By treating sewage sludge,
creates biosolids that can be used as valuable farm fertilizer instead of taking up space in a landfill or other disposal facility. Biosolids are carefully monitored in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Biosolids Usage Generates Savings
The increased usage of biosolids for land application will result in a $300,000 savings for
in FY10. Biosolids, residuals of the wastewater treatment process, are applied to local farms to replace lost nutrients in the soil. This year 78 percent of Utilities biosolids were land applied, as compared to 51 percent four years earlier. Land application is half the cost of the alternative landfill disposal. Utilities' five wastewater treatment plants produce about 100,000 wet tons of biosolids annually. Utilities contracts with
for land application and for landfill disposal of our biosolids in winter months.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Biosolids
Biosolids are the nutrient-rich organic materials resulting from the treatment of domestic sewage at a wastewater treatment facility. Through biosolids management, solid residue from wastewater treatment is processed to reduce or eliminate pathogens and minimize odors, forming a safe, beneficial agricultural product. Farmers and gardeners have been recycling biosolids for ages. Biosolids can be applied as fertilizer to improve and maintain productive soils and stimulate plant growth. They also are used to fertilize gardens and parks and reclaim mining sites. Biosolids are carefully monitored and must be used in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Why Do We Have Biosolids?
back to top
We have biosolids as a result of treating sewage sludge (which refers to the solids generated during the treatment of domestic sewage in a treatment plant) in order to meet the land application regulatory requirements. Wastewater treatment technology has made our water safer than ever for recreation and seafood harvesting. Thirty years ago, thousands of American cities dumped their raw sewage directly into the nation's rivers, lakes and bays. Through regulation of this dumping, local governments are now required to treat domestic sewage and to make the decision whether to recycle the solids generated as fertilizer, to incinerate them or to bury them in a landfill. If the solids meet the regulatory requirements for land application and are recycled, they are biosolids.
How Are Biosolids Generated and Processed?
back to top
Biosolids are generated when solids produced during the treatment of domestic sewage are treated further to meet regulatory requirements. The wastewater treatment can actually begin before the wastewater reaches the treatment plant. In many larger wastewater treatment systems, pre-treatment regulations require that industrial facilities pre-treat their wastewater to remove many hazardous contaminants before it is sent to a wastewater treatment plant. Wastewater treatment facilities monitor incoming wastewater streams to ensure their recyclability and compatibility with the treatment plant process.
Sewage sludge is not generated until domestic sewage is treated in a treatment plant, and biosolids are not produced until the sewage sludge meets the land application Part 503 requirements. For these reasons, the treatment of biosolids cannot occur before the domestic sewage reaches the wastewater treatment plant.
Once the wastewater reaches the plant, domestic sewage goes through physical, chemical and biological processes that clean the domestic sewage and remove the solids. If necessary, some of the solids are then treated with lime to raise the pH level to eliminate objectionable odors. Pathogen reduction (reduction of disease-causing organisms, such as bacteria, viruses and parasites) and reduction of other organisms capable of transporting disease for the solids usually occurs in a different process (e.g., a digester).
How Are Biosolids Used?
back to top
After treatment and processing, biosolids can be recycled and applied as fertilizer to improve and maintain productive soils and stimulate plant growth. The controlled land application of biosolids completes a natural cycle in the environment. By treating sewage sludge, we create biosolids that can be used as valuable fertilizer instead of taking up space in a landfill or other disposal facility.
If you have a farm and would like free biosolids to fertilize land, please
click here to contact us
Do Biosolids Smell?
Biosolids may have their own distinctive odor depending on the type of treatment it has been through. Some biosolids may have only a slight musty, ammonia odor. Others have a stronger odor that may be offensive to some people. Compounds that contain sulfur and ammonia, which are both plant nutrients, cause most odors. Once applied to land, the odor typically dissipates after a short time, depending on weather conditions.
Are Biosolids Good for the Environment?
Recycling biosolids is good for the environment. Organic matter has been recycled for centuries to improve soil fertility and productivity. When properly applied and managed, biosolids can provide essential plant nutrients, improve soil structure and tilth, add organic matter, enhance moisture retention and reduce soil erosion.
Biosolids recycling is regulated and encouraged by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and state and local authorities. Research and years of recycling experience have demonstrated that properly managed land application of biosolids is environmentally safe.
How Does Charlotte Water Recycle Biosolids?
back to top
produces "Class B" biosolids at each of its five wastewater treatment plants. Class B biosolids can be applied to land that produces animal feed crops but not land producing crops for human consumption. Biosolids from four of these plants is recycled through land application on more than 16,000 acres of private farmland in our region. Each of these sites must be permitted with the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. This means that in addition to the stringent requirements our biosolids meet, each particular farm where it is applied meets specifications, and the method in which it is applied at each site also is regulated.
The biosolids program is managed using an EMS which is ISO 14001:2004 certified by an external audit process. The Environmental Management Systems (EMS) emphasizes our commitment to continuous improvement and pollution prevention.

NAPA -- Terrelle Pryor dropped back to pass Sunday, spied Juron Criner over the middle and threw a pass with just enough arc to get over the outstretched arms of linebacker Keenan Clayton and hit the intended target for a first down.
In the vernacular of the Raiders' quarterback room, it was a perfect "two-pitch."
"A one-pitch is a fast one, a two-pitch is a little of that but over the top, and a three-pitch is like a loft," Pryor said. "That was definitely a good pass for me."
Evidence gathered from the Raiders' first padded practice indicates that Pryor, who is entering his third season, is becoming more than simply a one-pitch pitcher.
While Matt Flynn remains the favorite to start, it is clear that countless throws by Pryor since the end of last season in his quest to become an NFL-caliber passer has made a difference.
"He's worked extremely hard at it, and any time you get a talented player that works extremely hard, he's going to get better," coach Dennis Allen said. "We're doing some things with him to try and take advantage of his talents. He's responding to that."
Offensive coordinator Greg Olson's playbook includes some opportunities to get the 6-foot-4, 233-pound Pryor on the perimeter where he can use his speed as a runner or exploit a mismatch with a pass.
The issue with Pryor has never been athleticism. Fundamentals and mechanics when it came to throwing were another story. In the offseason, Pryor sought out Tom House, a former major league pitcher and throwing guru whose clients include New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
Pryor worked diligently on his footwork and lower-body positioning to the point where he said his arm never gets sore despite a nonstop offseason of throwing passes.
"I never really knew how to throw a football before," Pryor said. "It's coming along. I'm getting way better. I probably missed four or five throws out of 80, 85 throws today. I might ice my arm as a precaution tonight, but it feels great."
Pryor showed he could manage the game and lead the team in a 24-21 loss to San Diego to end the 2012 season and believes he is ready to take the next step with the help of House, Olson and quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo.
"They've got me going in the right direction to be a pretty good quarterback who knows how to throw the ball," Pryor said.
"Listen, it's football," Allen said. "We don't want people hurt, we want everybody out there, but we have to practice football, and you have to practice it tough. You're never going to run the ball if you don't try to knock the heck out of people.
"First day you get the pads on, everyone's a little feisty. It's OK."
"He's obviously going to miss a little bit of time," Allen said.
The Raiders aren't being specific regarding the nature of injuries nor how long players might be out of action. Maiava left practice Saturday on crutches and with a walking boot on his left foot.
Wide receiver Sam McGuffie has missed two days of practice following an inadvertent head-to-chest collision with a defensive back on the first day of workouts.

Barbara Roche, Class of 1960
A member of the Class of 1960, Barbara Roche graduated from Stanford in 1956 and left for a career in television in Baltimore. Full of optimism and hope she was shattered when after two weeks she was fired by the television producer. Embarrassed to return to California, she found employment at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. Here she thought about the direction of her life, aided by National Presbyterian Church, which she had joined. She came to the conclusion that the values she had been taught in the Community Methodist Church of her childhood, in the mining town of Ruth, Nevada, were bedrock.
What led Barbara to attend Princeton Theological Seminary happened after a retreat led by a Princeton seminarian (Frank Watson). In a conversation with him she dared to suggest that she also might attend seminary. He took her inquiry seriously and in a matter of days the application arrived, the church and presbytery approved. Barbara returned to California with plans to enroll in the fall of 1957. Her family could provide no monetary resources, but National sent a telegram offering financial assistance. Throughout the three years of school Barbara received generous assistance from the Seminary, worked at the university, and received loans from her congregation
"I attended Seminary during a time when the church was not very open to women serving in leadership roles. I am very grateful to Princeton Seminary, which gave me the knowledge and confidence to serve the church," she said. After graduating, she received a scholarship to study for a year at the United Theological College in Bangalore, India, followed by participation in ecumenical work camps in Thailand and Burma. She returned to California and accepted a call to be director of religious education at Emmanuel Presbyterian Church in Spokane, Washington. Other calls included area representative for the Commission on Ecumenical Mission and Relations to women in six Midwestern states; dean of students at Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley; editor of Concern magazine in New York City, and finally editor of Horizons magazine and Bible study in Louisville. She was ordained as a ruling elder in 1968 by Edgewater Presbyterian Church in Chicago and as a teaching elder in 1974 by Chicago Presbytery. In 1984 she earned a D.Min. degree from San Francisco Theological Seminary.
After retirement in 1998, she did freelance editing for the denomination and wrote a chapter on the history of women's ordination in the book Celebrating Our Call, ed. Patricia Lloyd-Sidle, Geneva Press, Louisville, 2006. She resides in Louisville.
Today, fifty-one years after graduating from PTS, Barbara still supports the annual fund. She has included the Seminary in her will. "I decided to give for several reasons," she said. "In honor of the lifelong friends made at Princeton, in appreciation for the scholarships and work the Seminary gave me, and for the education that helped me through the years. I look at the future and ask, 'What is essential for the world?' I believe it is proclaiming the Gospel. And I think this strong institution will continue to be faithful to that calling in the years to come."

- Seahawks' Richard Sherman doesn't 'hate' 49ers
- Kawakami: Boldin only seems like he's been here forever

- 49ers' Kaepernick: Protecting football key against Seahawks
- Aldon Smith's off-field troubles behind him, Jim Harbaugh says
- What 49ers' Harbaugh would give up to be playing Sunday
- No denying 49ers-Seahawks rivalry
SANTA CLARA -- Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman has become a proverbial thorn in the 49ers side, in particular the past two seasons when his team gained considerable ground on their NFC West rival.
Sherman isn't shy about speaking his mind about much. He seems to take particular delight in poking the 49ers.
When the 49ers beat the Seahawks at Candlestick Park on Dec. 8, he blamed poor officiating.
"We didn't project it to be this way," said Sherman, who played for 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh at Stanford. "We expected to blow them out, but they got the benefit of a few calls throughout the game. ... We will see them again, and it will be a different result."
The 49ers and Seahawks meet for the third time this season Sunday in the NFC Championship Game in Seattle. The Seahawks beat the 49ers 29-3 at CenturyLink Field on Sept. 15.
Harbaugh on Wednesday had nothing but flowery praise for Sherman, who said Harbaugh ignored him after the teams' first meeting this season when Sherman approached Harbaugh after the game.
"Great memories of Richard Sherman when we were teammates at Stanford University," Harbaugh said, "but now we're adversaries, competitors. I still wish Richard great success and happiness in his career.
"But I can't wish him luck this week because we're playing him, but great memories, fond memories, of Richard when we were together."
After the first game in Seattle, Sherman appeared to give Harbaugh a pat on the backside.
"I told him good game, good job," Sherman said at the time, "but he didn't give me nothing back. I guess sportsmanship doesn't go both ways."

It's time to put your revelry shoes on and celebrate. The origins of Mardi Gras in New Orleans can be traced to medieval Europe, passing through Rome and Venice to evolve into the ornately-costumed festivities we see today. There's a lot of tradition and heritage that have helped to produce the Mardi Gras scene as it's currently celebrated. So here are our top ten good things to know to enjoy Mardi Gras like a native.
Number 10
How to spell "krewe" and "flambeaux" and "Mardi Gras" and, well, you get the point.
Number 9
Technically, Carnivale is a season, and Mardi Gras is a day. But we tend to generalize and refer to the weeks of parades leading up to Fat Tuesday as Mardi Gras.
Number 8
The Mardi Gras colors are purple, green and gold. Remember to coordinate your outfit appropriately.
Number 7
The Captain of the Krewe is more important than the King. But the King gets all the glory, while the Captain does all the work.
Number 6
If you miss a doubloon thrown from a float, never reach down to pick it up. Always put your foot on it. If you go with your hand, you're either too late or you'll get your fingers stepped on.
Number 5
If you bite into a plastic baby in a King Cake or Carnivale Cake, that's a good thing.
Number 4
Any beads shorter than two feet long are unacceptable unless they are made of glass — the bigger and longer the beads, the better.
Number 3
Once any beads have touched the ground, they are sullied and should not be picked up unless under the rarest of circumstances.
Number 2
The vast majority of people in the French Quarter during Carnivale are from out of town.
Number 1
The Number 1 thing you must know about Mardi Gras season is that Community© Carnivale Cake coffee hits the shelves. We suggest you celebrate with the "king" of all flavored coffees, our delicious Carnivale Cake with light vanilla and cinnamon flavoring.
For a limited time you can have your cake … and drink it, too.

The sound of hair clippers competed with the sounds of laughter and cheers inside Marietta College's Dyson Baudo Recreation Center Friday night as dozens of heads were shaved bald in the name of children's cancer research.
The event, which was coordinated by Marietta College seniors Tyler Bates and Zane Eschbaugh, started out as a simple dorm room dream, said Bates.
"Over Christmas break we were sitting in our dorm room thinking that we're running out of time to make a difference here at the college," he said.
Article Photos
William Patterson, 7, of Marietta, grins as his hairs fall away. Patterson wanted to participate after his father told him about the fundraiser.
After a little research, Bates and Eschbaugh stumbled onto the St. Baldrick's Foundation, a charity that gets people to shave their heads for donations in the name of children's cancer research.
They started planning in January and support for the event has skyrocketed over the past month, with 193 shavees and volunteers collecting donations on the St. Baldrick's website.
"It's cold," laughed Wendy Thieman, 43, as her short dark locks started to fall to the floor Friday.
Fact Box
St Baldrick's fundraiser
More than 80 participants shaved their heads to raise money for childhood cancer research Friday.
They have raised more than $11,000 so far.
Donations can still be made by visiting www.stbaldricks.org/events/mariettacollege.
Thieman, an administrative assistant in the Athletic Department at Marietta College, was one of two women who signed up to have their heads shaved.
"The whole shaving thing is so easy for men to do. I was hoping by signing up a few females would follow in my lead," she said.
Thieman ended up being the biggest donation earner, pulling in more than $1,400 for the cause.
"As soon as they start taking that hair off, the emotions start working up," said Thieman, who got teary-eyed as the crowd let out a cheer when she was finished.
The experience was emotional on a different level for Marietta resident Desni Crock, 40, the second of the two women to go bald and beautiful Friday night.
"Ask me why I did it," said Crock.
The reason, dressed in a green "SURVIVOR" T-shirt, skipped ahead of her toward an inflatable obstacle course set up. Diagnosed at age 2 with cancer, Desni's 6-year-old daughter Bridget has now been cancer free for more than four years.
"For anybody else it's just hair, but for a cancer survivor or a cancer survivor's mom, it's more than that. There were so many days were she seemed perfectly healthy, but that bald shining head is a slap in the face. For every follicle that grows back, it was a new reason to rejoice her getting better," Crock recalled.
She said she found out about the event through Facebook and put a challenge up Friday morning-if her friends donated $500 by the time of the event, Desni would shave her head. She was halfway there within two minutes, she said.
Phillips Elementary student William Patterson, 7, was all smiles as he took to the platform at the same time as his father to get his head sheared.
"I'm so proud of him," said his mother, Ellen Patterson, tears welling up in her eyes as she hugged him and felt his new prickly coif.
The event far surpassed what Bates and Eschbaugh had ever dreamed.
"We originally wanted to make $5,000 and we've already doubled that," said Eschbaugh.
All told, volunteers from the Muskingum Barber Shop shaved 81 heads and the event raised $11,100 dollars.
But noted Eschbaugh, people can still donate by going to www.stbaldricks.org/events/mariettacollege.

Tuscaloosa City Council unanimous in approval of new student apartment complex
Construction on The Grove could start in 90 days; Jack Warner Parkway-McFarland Boulevard interchange could get $1M improvement
Published: Wednesday, August 21, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 21, 2013 at 12:17 a.m.
A new $30 million, 628-bed student housing complex on Tuesday gained unanimous approval from the Tuscaloosa City Council.
At issue before the council was a rezoning request to convert 0.4 acres of the overall 15.86-acre site to riverfront development zoning, putting it in line with the remainder of the tract.
A second item was a vote to approve the site development plans of The Grove at Tuscaloosa, which is a City Council requirement for any project in the riverfront development zone.
"It's been a long time coming for us," said Alex Eyssen, director of development for Campus Crest Development, the Charlotte, N.C.-based company behind the project. "We look forward to being a long-term member of the community."
Eyssen said the project still needs to obtain permits and have its plans finalized by the city's Department of Planning and Development Services.
If all goes smoothly, he said construction could begin within the next 90 days.
The 228-unit complex is expected to be complete in time for the fall 2015 semester, he said.
In a presentation to the City Council regarding the proposed development, Eyssen said Campus Crest Development plans to have a clubhouse, swimming pool, recreational areas and a parking deck.
The units will be furnished, with a full kitchen, washers and dryers and high-speed Internet access, he said.
"We're trying to create a lifestyle," Eyssen said.
The developers also intend to construct a $1 million improvement to the interchange of Jack Warner Parkway and McFarland Boulevard to provide better access to their Sixth Avenue development.
Last month, the project gained approval from the city's Planning and Zoning Commission for the rezoning, a subdivision realignment and the vacating of an unused street.
But the commission voted 5 for and 3 against, failing to endorse the site development plans under the stringent riverfront development zoning, which requires at least six commissioners to approve.
The plans' approval by the City Council paves the way for the construction, which will be alongside The Bluffs at Waterworks Landing, a 116-unit, 208-bed complex completed alongside the Black Warrior River in 2008.
It also will add to the more than 12,000 multifamily bedrooms constructed — with more than 8,000 more in the works — within the city since 2002, according to data compiled by city officials.
Mayor Walt Maddox has formed a student housing task force to gather hard data on whether Tuscaloosa is becoming oversaturated with private student housing developments.
The second meeting of the task force is set for Wednesday, and the group has been issued a Nov. 5 deadline to submit a report of its findings and recommendations to the City Council.

News 12 at 6 o'clock; March 19, 2009
AIKEN CTY, S.C. --- The town of Ellenton was literally taken off of the map more than 50 years ago. Thousands of people were forced to leave their homes. Now, the movie Displaced: An Unexpected Fallout from the Cold War is about to premiere. But first, a man who lived through it all talks to 12 about putting country before home.
It's Steve Harley's story. He loved Ellenton, his hometown so much, that even named his daughter after the town.
"I lived in these woods (pointing to a picture of his) right there, but you can't see my house," Steve showed News 12.
It's page after page, history after history of what was Ellenton. "Gene, it was the greatest place on earth, no question about it," adds Steve.
"The Blue Goose, the good hang out, is right there," Steve points out in another picture. It's a hang out and an entire town that Steve, who was only a 10th grader at the time, found out was going to be no more.
"I thought it was a mistake," Steve says. "I said, there is no way in the world that the Federal Government can do this to us."
But, they did and Ellenton was taken right off the map after the news came out on November 28th, 1952. His home would become what is now the Savannah River Site.
"Everybody was crying, tears down everybody's eyes," Steve recalls about being in school the day the news came down.
Steve and his family stayed in Ellenton til March 1952. He says, they were the third to last family to leave the doomed town.
"You can not believe seeing your town, your friends, all of your dreams just vanish," says Steve. All of that happening, right before his eyes.
Now, for the first time in 57 years, he is about to watch it all over again with the new documentary.
"Gene, all I can say is it brings back memories that are gone and it's real depressing to me," Steve says as he watched the opening clip of the movie for the first time.
I asked Mark Albertin, the Documentary Producer, what it was like going through all of those pictures after working on this project for 4 years?"
He said, "It was a roller coaster ride. There were wonderful happy memories in a different era and there were - of course - moments of extreme sadness."
It'll be that roller coaster of emotions Steve will have, when he soon goes back in time. "I'm going to see friends I haven't seen," he says. "I'll get chocked up, I just love it that much."
Of course, New Ellenton replaced Ellenton. The entire movie will premier tomorrow (Friday) March 20th at USC Aiken Ethridge Center at 7:30PM. It's free for the public to come see.
The movie and all clips seen in this story and on the website are courtesy from Scrapbook Productions, which is a company Mark owns. He provided us with the video for this story. All the pictures seen were from Steve Harley, who brought the scrap book with him for our multiple interviews.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- Brad Keselowski, the kid who stole the show at the season-opening Daytona 500, beat five-time champion Jimmie Johnson on Sunday to deliver the first NASCAR Sprint Cup title to Penske Racing.
"Always, throughout my whole life I've been told I'm not big enough, not fast enough, not strong enough and I don't have what it takes," Keselowski said. "I've used that as a chip on my shoulder to carry me through my whole career. It took until this year for me to realize that that was right, man, they were right.
"I'm not big enough, fast enough, strong enough. No person is. Only a team can do that."
So, with the Penske organization behind him, he delivered a trophy that had eluded "The Captain" since his 1972 NASCAR debut. Although his motor sports organization is considered the gold standard of open-wheel racing -- 15 Indianapolis 500 wins -- Penske's NASCAR team has always been just average.
Then came Keselowski, the blue collar, Twitter-loving, Michigan native who visited Penske in 2008 convinced the NASCAR team could win, too.
Three years later, they hoisted the Sprint Cup trophy together at Homestead-Miami Speedway following Keselowski's 15th-place finish Sunday night.
"It's all about the people in our organization and obviously Brad coming on our board three years ago, and we set a plan and we stuck to it," Penske, 75, said. "To win this championship is amazing."
Keselowski needed 125 starts to win his first championship, the fewest starts since four-time champion Jeff Gordon won his first title in 93 starts in 1995. Keselowski also won a second-tier Nationwide title in 2010, his first season with Penske and the owner's first official NASCAR championship.
Gordon, who was fined $100,000 by NASCAR for intentionally wrecking Clint Bowyer last week at Phoenix, won the race in a 20th anniversary celebration for sponsor Dupont and Hendrick Motorsports.
It was Gordon's first victory at Homestead, which leaves Kentucky as the only active NASCAR track where he has yet to win.
Whom did Gordon beat? Bowyer, of course.
And Bowyer's second-place finish moved him to a career-best second in the final standings. Third place went to Ryan Newman, who got his break in NASCAR with Penske and spent seven seasons driving for the owner.
"He deserves this probably as much as anybody else because of what he's done for motor racing in general, NASCAR, his dedication to all forms of race cars," Newman said.
Keselowski started the race up 20 points on Johnson, needing only to finish 15th or higher to wrap up his first title. But the Penske team took nothing for granted -- not after Will Power crashed in the IndyCar Series finale to blow a 17-point lead and lose the title.
And this one got tight, too, especially when Keselowski ran out of gas on pit road during green flag pit stops. It put him a lap down with Johnson leading, and Keselowski and crew chief Paul Wolfe frantically tried to figure out how dire the situation had become.
Wolfe crunched the numbers, figuring the No. 2 Dodge would cycle out in the mid-20s, a lap down from the leaders.
"I know the scenario, and it's not good," Keselowski said.
But minutes later, Johnson went to pit road for his own stop and pulled away with a missing lug nut. NASCAR flagged the Hendrick team and Johnson was forced back to pit road for another stop.
It got worse for Johnson from there. He broke a rear end gear in his No. 48 Chevrolet and went to the garage with 40 laps to go, essentially clinching the title for Keselowski.
"It all unraveled pretty quick," Johnson conceded.
The win is the first for Dodge since Richard Petty's Cup title in 1975 and comes as the manufacturer is leaving NASCAR. Penske announced days after the Daytona 500 it will move to Ford next year, and it led to Dodge's decision to pull out of NASCAR.
"Not one failure all year long in that Dodge engine, so I want to thank Dodge for what they've done for us," Penske said after Keselowski secured the title.

Allison O'Boyle '12
"There is a lot of opportunity [at E-town], no matter where you come from or what you want to do." --Allison O'Boyle
Making connections. That's exactly what drew Allison O'Boyle to Elizabethtown College – and also one of her most notable accomplishments.
Allison, of Frederick, Md., knew she wanted to attend a small liberal arts school, but once she visited Elizabethtown College and noticed the connection between the faculty and students, she knew she found the school for her.
Allison is involved in many extracurricular activities including Circle K, peer mentoring, volunteering through the Center for Community and Civic Engagement and writing for the weekly College newspaper. She also spent a semester studying abroad in England.
An English Secondary Education major, Allison spent the spring semester of her junior year at her field placement site, the Milton Hershey School, a private coeducational, residential school for low-income children. Her teaching placement wasn't her first experience with the kids at the school; she also served as a mentor for Moving Forward Together, an initiative of the Center for Community and Civic Engagement. As a member of this group, she mentored the teenage residents and students at the Milton Hershey School.
"We worked to get the students interested in college and prepared for everything they'd experience in their adult life," she said. "Now that I am also teaching there, I get to see both sides of the kids – the teacher side and friendly mentor (side)."
She said the volunteer work, with many underprivileged kids, was eye-opening and taught her to empathize with students. Allison loves the personal connections she's made with the students and enjoys when they say hello to her when she walks into the school. That empathy she learned while mentoring the students was helpful when she transitioned to the classroom, she said, because it allowed her to cater her lessons and teaching style, keeping those students hopes and dreams in mind.
"When you're teaching and finally see the lightbulb go off – it makes you feel so good. That aha moment is the pathway to the rest of the lesson and also confirmed that teaching is what I want to do," she said.
Allison said Elizabethtown College has allowed her to make connections with people, connections between theory and practice, and connections with numerous opportunities for learning and personal growth.
"There is a lot of opportunity [at E-town], no matter where you come from or what you want to do," she said.

HOUSTON -- Catcher Geovany Soto was added to the A's roster and in the A's clubhouse Monday, a day after the A's picked him up in a low-budget deal ($300,000) with the Texas Rangers.
He was not, however, in the starting lineup, but sitting on the bench as the insurance the A's badly need while Derek Norris was behind the plate.
"It's been a little crazy," Soto said after dressing in green and gold for the first time.
As expected, catcher John Jaso went on the seven-day disabled list while dealing with complications of a concussion. With Jaso out for at least a week and Stephen Vogt (foot) unable to much defensively beyond playing first base, Soto was the kind of late-season addition a club in contention reaches out for.
He had knee surgery early in the year, but he's worked his way back into shape, starting at Double-A Frisco.
"I'm healthy now. Nothing's bothering me," Soto said. "I loved it in Texas, but I'm happy to be here and want to do whatever they need."
He'd played mostly in the minor leagues in the Rangers organization while getting healthy before getting in 10 games for Texas before the time the A's came calling. The 31-year-old is a career .248 hitter with 92 big league homers while playing for the Cubs and Rangers.
The A's don't know if Jaso will be out more than seven days. He missed the last two months of the 2013 season with concussion issues, although those were more severe than his current problems.
Soto is expected to get a start Tuesday against the Astros.

Russians Jews Germans
Photographs by Michael Kerstgens from 1992 to the Present
20 April to 26 August 2012
After the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989/90, nearly a quarter of a million Jewish immigrants - so-called "quota refugees" - came to Germany from the former Soviet Union. This wave of immigration brought about lasting changes in the German Jewish community. Michael Kerstgens is one of the few photographers to have documented - intensively and over a long period of time - the immigration of Russian-speaking Jews to Germany from the former Soviet Union.
- Michael Kerstgens, Seniors' retreat at the Kurhotel Eden-Park in Bad Kissingen, Bad Kissingen 2001 © Jewish Museum Berlin
In his work, Michael Kerstgens focuses on the social and religious challenges facing Jewish immigrants to Germany as well as on the situation of long-established German Jews. He records religious celebrations and social events within the Jewish community, everyday scenes from transition houses, and individual families' private moments.

The photographs relate farewells and new beginnings, those arriving and those settled, and the search for belonging and religious tradition. They can be regarded an initial visual reflection on a process which has not yet reached its conclusion and whose outcome is accordingly still unknown.

The photographer shot new portraits of some of his protagonists from the 90s, expressly for this exhibit, revealing the immigrants' current circumstances and often astonishing progress.

Encompassing 162 shots in black and white, the series has belonged to the Photo Collection of the Jewish Museum Berlin since the beginning of 2011. Nearly half of them are on view in the exhibition as inkjet prints.
The photographs are being shown in parallel with the exhibit "Berlin Transit. Jewish Migrants from Eastern Europe in the 1920s". They extend the historical view of the theme of migration right up to the present and trace the question of how Jewish life in Germany has changed with the immigration of Russian-speaking Jews through the 20th century.

The Quota Refugee Act
Within the framework of the unification process, the Federal Republic of Germany agreed to uphold the promise made by the last German Democratic Republican government to admit Jews from the then still-existing Soviet Union. On January 9, 1991, in keeping with the wishes of the federal government and the Central Council of Jews in Germany, the minister presidents of the German states resolved to admit Russian-Jewish emigrants to Germany on the basis of the Quota Refugee Act. All persons identified as being Jewish by Russian documents, as well as the non-Jewish members of their families, were now free to submit the respective applications and obtain permanent residence permits.
Unlike the ethnic German repatriates from the former Soviet Union, the quota refugees were not granted German citizenship automatically, but they were permitted to apply for it after a certain amount of time had passed. They were eligible for work permits, social security benefits and integration assistance such as a complimentary language course and help in the search for living quarters.
When the Immigration Act of January 1, 2005 went into effect, the Quota Refugee Act lost its validity. In 2007, the further admittance of Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union was resolved, if with stricter requirements than before.

OAKLAND -- Adopt A Special Kid recently announced the appointment of Doni DeBolt as its new executive director.
In taking over this position, DeBolt is, in a sense, completing a journey that began in 1970 when Robert and Dorothy DeBolt married and over time became the parents of six biological and 14 adoptive children in their Piedmont home.
As a member of this remarkable family, Doni DeBolt comes to the position with two immeasurable advantages -- growing up within this unorthodox, loving family and understanding the importance of the revolutionary adoptive work begun by Robert and Dorothy DeBolt when they founded AASK in 1973.
"They have left me a beautiful, powerful, life-changing legacy," DeBolt said. "The meeting of Dorothy Atwood and my dad, Bob Debolt, was a destiny event."
Even before founding AASK, Dorothy DeBolt -- who died Feb. 24 -- had started to break the norms by adopting two medically fragile, 14-year-old Caucasian-Korean boys. She was amazed by how difficult it was to adopt and worse yet, how many children languished in foster homes, considered unadoptable by the system.
AASK was the first adoption agency in 63 years to ask for a license in California, and from the beginning it went straight to the core of the problem. It focused on who should be able to adopt and on placing special-needs children, those with physical handicaps, from abusive homes and war-injured children from Vietnam.
The agency that Doni DeBolt now leads had not changed its mission. Forty years down the road, the original motto of "It's not what a family looks like, it's what a family feels like" remains.
AASK reaches out to prospective parents who are single, older, lesbian, gay, renters, in relationships or who want to adopt a child out of their ethnicity.
"We've opened the adoption possibility to people who would never have gotten in the door at a traditional adoption agency," DeBolt said.
"There was a single, gay African-American male who wanted to adopt, and the third time we told him that he qualified he broke down and cried."
The staggering statistics tell the story of how badly agencies like AASK are needed and also attest to its success. In the United States, 250,000 children are placed into foster care annually at a cost of $9 billion. Only 15 percent are placed into permanent homes. Since 1973, AASK has placed 3,400 foster care children, 54 in the last five years. The cost for a prospective parent to adopt a child through a nonprofit like AASK is -- zero.
To continue this success, DeBolt realizes that AASK must get its message out there to reach more potentially adoptive parents and to have them select AASK as their adoptive agency. The fact that federal grants and state funding are no longer available puts the burden on relying on fundraising to cover operating expenses until an adoption is finalized, which can often take three years. To meet these needs, AASK has planned a chili cook-off on May 4 and a 5K family fun run honoring Dorothy DeBolt on July 7.
Doni DeBolt comes to the position with a background as a special-education teacher and administrator, so she has knowledge of budgeting and working collaboratively. She also brings her experience of how adoption enriches lives. Doni DeBolt herself is Robert DeBolt's biological child and was living with her mother in New Mexico and came to live with her father and the rest of the family in Piedmont when she was 8. Robert DeBolt lives in El Cajon.
"I'm passionate about this agency, and I can see all the goodness and greatness that happens for the child that's adopted and for the family that adopts," she said. "I love being part of that process, and I love how everything comes together."
She wants to get the message out there that AASK is an agency that will introduce prospective parents to hundreds of children who need to be adopted and that it will give them one-on-one support, along with workshops, classes and support groups, during all the stages of the adoption process.
DeBolt speaks from experience when she said: "If a person has it in their hearts and wants to be part of the greatest philanthropic adventure they could ever take on, then they need to come talk to us. We'll help you through that journey even if other agencies have turned you away."
Doni DeBolt has her work cut out for her, but she absolutely loves her new position, and as a DeBolt, she knows that her work is worth the effort.
Adopt A Special Kid is at 8201 Edgewater Drive, Suite 103, Oakland. For more information, go to www.aask.org or call 888-680-7349.
AASK plans to two events: a chili cook-off family fun event from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, at Classic Cars West, 411 26th St., Oakland, www.aask.org/chilicook-off. The second event is a noncompetitive 5K family fun run and walk around Lake Merritt at 9 a.m. July 7.

Wood BOE declines to renew three contracts
Merritt, Yeater question lack of advance notice
March 28, 2013
PARKERSBURG — Wood County school officials have declined to offer contracts to three educators for the 2013-2014 year....
I believe the Wood County Board of Education needs a complete overhaul. They do not do justice to the teachers or the kids.

Sounds like a dicatorship in the Wood County school system. Glad my kids don't go there...just saying.

In Terrell's case: The AFT does not want teachers in a classroom who would harm a child or "hinder" the learning process. CPS found no evidence of abuse. Now just how "muddled" do you think it can get, then to have constant interruptions in a class from a child who cannot control themselves. Not the fault of the child, and the teacher may have made a poor judgement, but the poorest judgement was made from the top, by not having separate classes for these students! Maybe the BOE needs to look up in Webster's, just what the definition of "hinder" means!

The point is mistakes are mistakes. You learn from mistakes, as in most jobs where the employee is reprimanded and allowed to learn from what they did. The Harlem Shake video was a mistake, the kids pushed the limits as teenagers tend to do. He should have not allowed them to participate in such a questionable way...but to lose his job over it...ridiculous! As there are so many haters on this comment board regarding kids being bullied (stop whining about your kids)...my child is not a behavior problem, and still went through*****via employees still active in this school system. The BOE was well aware of it and did nothing. Any other questions?

Just because there are cases that have slipped through unpunished takeback...does not mean these teachers should be in our schools. 2 wrongs don't make a right. Of course there is always some worse case somewhere. It does not make these teachers any less culpable. Teachers should be someone children can look up to and respect, not people who at worse than the kids. My kid is an honor student too...is that supposed to make some sort of difference?
6 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Mr. Young is a good teacher who made a foolish decision. There are far worse teachers and admins in Wood County, including the Director of Secondary Schools who bullied my child for years, an employee who "grinds" against students at dances, grade fixing, and teachers busted for drug possession... and nothing was done. In most jobs, a reprimand is given in order to learn from mistakes. Thought education was about learning, so should we fire students when they make mistakes? Overkill and inconsistent disciplining on the part of the BOE. And for the haters, my child is an honor student.

A professor at the University of Washington (UW) wants to catch 'em all, but he isn't content with just collecting hundreds of Pokemon. His ambitions are a little loftier, aiming to collect and scan all 25,000 known species of fish, to create 3D models of their skeletons which can then be freely downloaded, 3D-printed and studied. Real fish specimens can be difficult and costly to come by, so, much like Massey University's 3D printable cane toad skeletons, UW professor Adam Summers is trying to make it easier for students, scientists and hobbyists to study fish.

Definition of doublet in English:
1A pair of similar things, in particular two words of the same derivation but having different meanings, for example fashion and faction, cloak and clock.
Example sentences
- Carroll called the given words doublets, the interposed words links, and the complete series a chain.
- For those not etymologically challenged, the word canker is a doublet.
- Etymologically speaking, a doublet is a pair of words that have the same origin but different spellings and often different meanings.
1.1 (doublets) The same number on two dice thrown at once.
Example sentences
- If doublets are thrown (e.g. two sixes), four moves of that number (e.g. four moves of six points) may be made, either all by one White man or separately Backgammon Board.
1.2 Physics & Chemistry A pair of associated lines close together in a spectrum or electrophoretic gel.
Example sentences
- These studies have led to the findings that bundles of several doublet microtubules can propagate bending waves, and a pair of outer doublets can undergo cyclical association/dissociation interaction.
- Whereas the effect of the redshift is to multiply the wavelength of every line in the spectrum by the name number, 1 + z, any variation in only changes the relative separation between the lines in the doublet.
- The mechanism by which the oscillatory movements produced by these two opposing pairs of doublets are coupled with each other remains to be elucidated.
1.3A combination of two simple lenses.
Example sentences
- The original lens cell is an air spaced semi-apochromatic doublet, which uses three adjustment screws to collimate the lenses in the machined aluminum cell.
2A man's short close-fitting padded jacket, commonly worn from the 14th to the 17th century: they were wearing red velvet doublets and hose
More example sentences
- Indicators of this are the short doublet and very prominent codpiece, the round-toed shoes and the knee-breeches.
- It represents a bagpiper wearing a short doublet, full, knee-length breeches with a prominent codpiece, shoes with narrow rounded toes, and a hemispherical, skullcap-like hat with a very narrow brim.
- The minstrels, bedecked in red doublets and white hose, played upbeat tunes to which gardens of brightly clad nobles danced merrily.
Middle English: from Old French, 'something folded', also denoting a fur-lined coat, from double 'double'.

PHOENIX -- Jarrod Parker's Tommy John surgery on Monday went well, according to both Parker and the A's.
After having the surgery to replace the ligament in his right elbow for the second time in five years, the right-hander who had been scheduled to be Oakland's opening day starter, sent out a tweet saying ``All good!'' after Dr. James Andrews and his team were finished in Pensacola, Fla.
On Tuesday morning he came back with another tweet, this one saying he wanted ``to thank everyone for the support, nice messages and kind words,'' adding that he'd just finished his first follow up therapy.
A's manager Bob Melvin, one of many who flooded Parker's twitter account and cellphone with words of encouragement, said he hasn't yet talked with Parker but he'd heard about the surgery's success.
``All went well,'' the manager said.

SAN FRANCISCO -- It's tough to determine how much the Giants missed Ryan Vogelsong while he was on the disabled list for nearly three months, but the right-hander provided a clearer picture Sunday.
For games like this, they missed him a lot. A vintage Vogelsong went to the mound against a very good Pittsburgh Pirates team and pitched eight innings of two-hit ball in a 4-0 Giants victory.
Two singles, a walk, a hit batter. That's all he surrendered over his eight innings and 98 pitches. He said that if he hadn't been battling a bad head cold, he might have been able to complete the first shutout of his major league career.
"I was pretty wiped out," Vogelsong said. "They did the right thing by going to a fresh arm. It was more important to get the team win."
That would be a second consecutive win, the first time the Giants accomplished that at AT&T Park since July 19-20.
In short, it was a lot like old times, not only with a stoic Vogelsong mowing down hitters but also with a slimmer, fleeter Pablo Sandoval delivering a well-struck big hit. Sandoval's eighth-inning, two-run triple to right-center was his most impressive stroke in weeks and broke open a tight game between Vogelsong and the Pirates' A.J. Burnett (6-9).
But the sight of Vogelsong tossing one of the best games of the year for the Giants did wonders for their morale and refreshed memories of when he took the ball every fifth day.
"He's a horse," said Buster Posey, who had two hits and drove in the Giants' first run in the third inning. "He's a guy that brings a certain intensity every time he's out there. We definitely missed that."
"It's a joy to be behind him," said Hunter Pence. "He's so intense, he's such a competitor, it feeds into everyone. That's what this game is about, it's about that grit. And whether he has the kind of success he had today or not, you know you're always going to get that grit, that intensity."
Vogelsong (3-4) has had better velocity, but his command of all four of his pitches was exemplary as he worked both sides of the plate as well as ever. Whatever was missing before he went on the disabled list, he's got it back.
"He really put on a show out there on the art of pitching," manager Bruce Bochy said.
So what's changed?
"It's more mechanical," he said. "Early in the season, I couldn't find anything that was comfortable. I was just out there battling through innings, but I worked on some things with Gardy and Rags (pitching coaches Mark Gardner and Dave Righetti), and I've just been able to execute them in the game."
As for Sandoval, he seems to finally be finding his bearings at the plate even though he still hasn't homered since July 12, covering 135 at-bats. But his triple came close and would have been out of most parks. Perhaps most significant is that he stung the ball in a big situation, then showed the fruits of his recent weight loss by motoring around the bases with renewed speed.
"I was excited," said Sandoval, who is 17 for 42 (.405) with 11 RBIs over his last 12 games. "When I saw the ball going to right field, I just put my head down and started running."
He said he feels a lot better in the field, too. He made a leaping grab of an Andrew McCutchen liner in the first and a diving grab of a McCutchen shot in the hole in the seventh. He threw wild to first, but he might not have reached the ball a month ago.
"I have more range, I lost 20 pounds," he said. "I feel good. And we've played great games two days in a row. All the pieces are starting to go together."
That's important for all of the Giants, even if they're out of the postseason hunt.
"There's a lot of baseball left," Pence said. "So we're going to get out there and try to treat every game like it's a playoff game."
Vogelsong's on board with that mentality. He said it's important for him to finish the season strong to have a good frame of mind for 2014.
"At this point, that's the goal," he said. "I feel like I'm on the way to that. I just need to keep doing what I'm doing right now and roll with that."

Identification of a gene causing human cytochrome c oxidase deficiency by integrative genomics

|Identifying the genes responsible for human diseases requires combining information about gene position with clues about biological function. The recent availability of whole-genome data sets of RNA and protein expression provides powerful new sources of functional insight. Here we illustrate how such data sets can expedite disease-gene discovery, by using them to identify the gene causing Leigh syndrome, French-Canadian type (LSFC, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man no. 220111), a human cytochrome c oxidase deficiency that maps to chromosome 2p16-21. Using four public RNA expression data sets, we assigned to all human genes a "score" reflecting their similarity in RNA-expression profiles to known mitochondrial genes. Using a large survey of organellar proteomics, we similarly classified human genes according to the likelihood of their protein product being associated with the mitochondrion. By intersecting this information with the relevant genomic region, we identified a single clear candidate gene, LRPPRC. Resequencing identified two mutations on two independent haplotypes, providing definitive genetic proof that LRPPRC indeed causes LSFC. LRPPRC encodes an mRNA-binding protein likely involved with mtDNA transcript processing, suggesting an additional mechanism of mitochondrial pathophysiology. Similar strategies to integrate diverse genomic information can be applied likewise to other disease pathways and will become increasingly powerful with the growing wealth of diverse, functional genomics data.

Man gets 9 years for assault with crowbar
Longtime friends argue over woman
Published 1:46 PM CST Feb 26, 2013
A 29-year-old Hancock County man has been ordered to serve nine years for hitting a longtime friend in the head with a crowbar during an argument over a woman.
Assistant District Attorney Matthew Burrell told The Sun Herald on Monday that Circuit Judge John Gargiulo sentenced Aaron Dale Burge as an habitual offender for the assault of Sept. 14, 2011.
Burrell said the blow fractured his friend's skull and the man required brain surgery.
Burge had been set for trial on a charge of aggravated assault, but changed his plea. He faced a maximum of 20 years in prison.

As an annual visitor and former resident, I am concluding our 2013 visit by wondering what the hell happened to local pride in the beauty of this place. I have been taking my dog for walks in the evening with a large garbage bag. I practice this in California where I now live. Despite filling half a dozen during our visit, I am realizing it's an impossible task for one person. Never before have I smelled a full season of unattended-to dog feces outside restaurants and residents' homes. Beer bottles and cans strewn about less than 50 feet from a small local businesses' doors. Resort staff tossing their cigarette butts on the ground while wearing the resort logo. I fell in love with Breckenridge 20 years ago and hate to watch it die a slow painful death. I am afraid this is what I am witnessing. Then I read that most residents who write letters to the Summit Daily are griping about this bag tax. Really? Can this be a real concern given the clearly woeful state of the town's environment? Maybe Peak 6 is too much for the resort to handle.
I'll keep contributing as long as I'm here, and I hope this letter isn't met with derisive "go home, then" rhetoric. I am going home, and hope I left it an ever so slightly better place. Please don't let irresponsible visitors in your home.
Joe Gerber, Encinitas, Calif.
