Is laughter yoga the best medicine?
In the counseling room of the University of Sheffield twenty people are sitting in a circle, laughing. Nobody has told a joke. In fact nothing funny has happened at all. It's a laughter yoga session, and so for a whole hour a group of unsuspecting students, and me, will laugh when we're told. Sounds odd? It certainly was.
The name laughter yoga is deceptive. The activity incorporates yogic breathing with laughter, but you don't need to be flexible to take part as there's no stretching involved. It was invented in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria, from Mumbai, India. A GP married to a yoga teacher, Dr Kataria wished he could prescribe his patients fifteen minutes of laughter a day to free them of stress and help them relax. And so laughter yoga was born. One morning he, his wife and three of their friends went to a local park with the intention to simply laugh. They started off telling jokes, but once the jokes ran out Dr Kataria realised that the key was being able to laugh for no reason.
Laughter yoga master trainer Lotte Mikkelsen, originally from Denmark, ran the session at the University of Sheffield. She studied University of Laughter Yoga in Bangalore, (yes, a real place!), and has been teaching people to laugh since 2004. And she is very good at it. She's not a comedian, but Lotte is warm and visibly happy. She sees the humour in everything she talks about and does. She laughs at the little things, when she says something wrong or when her tights catch on her chair. But she also just laughs, seemingly spontaneously. This laughter is contagious, which is very fortunate as she was about to ask a group of complete strangers to do a lot of pretty ridiculous things.
The session started with simple vocal exercises: "Ho ho, ha ha ha, ho ho, ha ha ha". Simple enough. Next were laughter exercises. Lotte had everyone walking around the room making eye contact. Depending on the exercise, every time someone caught your eye you did a certain laugh. First was the shy laugh, a giggle behind your hand. Perhaps the most daunting was the opera laugh - loud, exaggerated and with a flamboyant musical flourish.
The willingness of the group was imperative in these exercises, but it turned out to be pleasantly less awkward than I had imagined. With laughter as the end goal it didn't matter when people inevitably dissolved into nervous giggles, and this meant that any tension evaporated instantly. Lotte closed the session with laughter meditation, which involved lying on the floor and "engaging with our real laughter." By this point people were sufficiently relaxed that it was really just one big giggle.
Even those who weren't finding the session amusing were assured by Lotte that faking it is fine. "Your body can't tell the difference between real and fake laughter, so you can fake it and your body still releases endorphins. You can fake it to make it," she said.
"Most people start off faking it but really quickly connect with their own laughter," she added.
'Health benefits'
Lotte was keen to stress that laughter yoga isn't just fun; she says it has serious health benefits too. Since being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2008, Lotte laughs for ten minutes every morning at 7am. She says that she does not know if she still suffers from MS, but she thinks that laughter has been key in helping her to cope with and prevent the progression of the disease.
She said: "When you laugh and smile in the morning you start releasing endorphins, happy chemicals, and it puts you in a good frame of mind to start the day.
"Endorphins suppress stress chemicals and that's really good for the immune system because lots of diseases are stress related. If you counterbalance stress with laughter you boost your immune system and are more capable of fighting off illnesses."
The yogic breathing of laughter yoga increases the amount of oxygen in your body, and Lotte says this is important for ridding your body of the "stale air" that can cause stress-related illnesses.
"When we are stressed we only breathe in the top third of our lungs and that means that you have a lot of stale air that circulates in your blood. In laughter yoga you exchange this and get fresh air to your brain, making you more alert, creative and motivated."
Lotte stresses throughout the session that the key to engaging with the benefits of laughter yoga is to incorporate it into everyday life, and she has lots of quirky tips to help us do this. Like the fake phone call.
"When you're on the bus or the train you can still laugh, just get your phone out and pretend you are having a really funny phone call," she said.
"Although make sure your phone is on silent!" she adds.
Charles Oseghale, 42, a University of Sheffield Chemical Engineering PhD student particularly liked this tip: "I'm definitely going to do it! When I am complaining in my head and getting angry about things I can have a crazy phonecall, I can fake it and no one will know," he said.
"I laugh a lot naturally but I wanted to learn how to laugh for no reason. We all come to road blocks sometimes and you just have to keep free of hassle and pressure. It's definitely something I'm going to carry on doing," he added.
University of Sheffield Skills for Life coordinator Steve Delaney organised the session. He said: "We're always looking for ways to help people relax and take a break from their studies. We want to engage people in a better side of themselves and help them not take things so seriously.
"We wanted to put on relaxing workshops which are fun and playful , helping people to connect with things that are a bit lighter. Anything that helps people to let go is really beneficial and laughing is a great stress reliever."

It can be intimidating going into play against a team that is 14-0 against you over the past five seasons. It can be even more of a challenge when your two senior sluggers are away on a class trip while you match up against this Goliath of a team.
Do you ever get the feeling that there is such a thing as a bizarro world where there is an opposite reality? I'm starting to believe in such a place because there is an increasing amount of evidence starting to pile up in support of this theory.

SAM's Adventures
A vision of happiness
By Karma Tshering PhD '11
Destiny happens in the least expected way. Sometimes it may be through our actions creating a path, or many times it just happens. My connection with Australia began in 1997. As a fairly young conservationist with a passion to contribute to my country's rich natural heritage, I was requested by a local travel company in Bhutan to give a talk on conservation and national parks' management to a group of enthusiastic tourists. They were from Australia, mainly vets interested in wildlife.
What was meant to be one of those usual presentations has turned out to be a lifetime association with the lovely people from Australia. This event led to forging stronger ties, with a memorandum of understanding that was enacted, founded on the principles of cooperation and friendship. Ten years later I am in Australia with my family to pursue a doctoral program on sustainable tourism with the University. The lovely country town of Orange, NSW was our home for over three years. It's no surprise that we were the first Bhutanese in Orange, and had no option but to expand many people's geography, in explaining where Bhutan is. However, by chance we bumped into a couple who were among the group visiting Bhutan in 1997. This karmic reconnection with Judith [nee Wyatt] (DipPhys '69) and Andrew Hansen (BVSc '67 MVSc '00) blossomed into a fulfilling friendship. As an old Chinese saying goes – true friendships are made through meeting by chance and not by purpose.
Likewise through this academic journey my life was greatly enriched through close associations with many friends in Australia. Although my initial inspiration for environmental conservation was ignited by US National Park rangers during my six months' attachment to a few of the American national parks, the Australian association provided the impetus. Many of my Australian friends hold strong admiration for my country, Bhutan. Located in a historically volatile political region, it is a small, land-locked country sandwiched between two giant neighbors, India and China. Bhutan has not only survived as an independent country but under the visionary leadership of its kings, the nation has thrived on peace, stability and prosperity.
The country may not be rich or prosperous in terms of commercial industries or technology but is significant in its spiritual well-being. The country is held in awe for its development philosophy based on Gross National Happiness – as opposed to the conventional economic measurement of Gross National Product. As a nation in pursuit of happiness via a middle-path approach, the government has identified four key pillars to uphold this vision – Environmental Conservation, Cultural Preservation, Equitable Socio-economic Development, and Good Governance.
Bhutan existed as a group of hostile fiefdoms until the early 17th century, when Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, who fled Tibet and religious persecution, unified it. In 1907 came the appointment of the first King of Bhutan, and the population of a little over 700,000 celebrated 100 years of successful monarchy in 2008.
The then reigning fourth king, His Majesty Jigme Singye Wangchuck (53) abdicated the throne for his son, announcing a democratic form of governance. Bhutan has now peacefully transformed into a democratic state and is working hard towards achieving the King's vision of Gross National Happiness.
Bhutan's natural environment plays a vital link in upholding this vision. The country ranges from the south's subtropical plains to the sub-alpine Himalayan in the north, where some peaks exceed 7500 metres. Under the king's dynamic leadership, Bhutan now stands out as a haven for conservation with 72 per cent of the country under forest cover, harbouring many species of biological significance. Fifty-one per cent of the country is designated under the protected areas system, comprising national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, nature reserves and biological corridors.
Buddhism is Bhutan's main religion and the government has framed stringent conservation policies to protect wildlife. This, however, is at the cost of local people losing crops and livestock to tigers, leopards, snow leopards, wild dogs, bears, pigs, deer, elephants, monkeys and so on. The people are a vital link in nature conservation and strengthening this link is fundamental to achieving conservation objectives. An incentive-based approach is necessary and an integrated approach that combines conservation and development is being pursued. Therefore, recognising this situation, I chose to examine sustainable tourism development as a viable tool both for conservation and community development as a theme for my PhD research.
The research investigated the significance of tourism for conservation and determined the type, intensity and structure of sustainable tourism development, based on a participatory planning process that will drive the development of remote communities and strengthen one of the world's most extensive (per country area) protected areas networks. In Bhutan, a country with limited potential for industrialisation, but with a unique culture and an intact natural environment, the capacity of tourism to be a major force for development is apparent. It is, however, also known that tourism can undermine cultural values and degrade the natural local environment. This research for the protected areas system, before tourism gains momentum, can hopefully be a major milestone in preventing the undesirable from happening. The major finding from the research was that community participation is vital for tourism engagement and this has stimulated the people's support for the tourism resources, which are largely based on the cultural and natural heritage. The end result is participation towards conservation and protection of these precious resources, thereby generating a win-win situation for both conservation and development.
Bhutan's tourism policy is founded on the principle of sustainability. Aware that tourism has the potential to create a high impact on the culture of the people ever since tourism began in 1974, the government has followed a cautious policy. Based on the concept of 'High Value and Low Volume', all travel to Bhutan is well regulated through a package tour with a minimum payment of $US200 per day, per tourist (this is to increase to $US250 from 2012). This includes food (three meals), accommodation in standard hotels, ground transport, and daily services of an accompanying local guide. Tourism development in Bhutan is effective in creating jobs for local people and minimising revenue leakage – a common problem faced by many developing countries.
After returning to Bhutan on completion of my PhD I have resumed my job with the Department of Forests and Park Services and find myself very fortunate to be in a position to translate my academic knowledge into action and contribute towards the happiness vision.
PS: In May, Karma Tshering received his PhD in the Great Hall. He was accompanied by his cousin, to whom he dedicated the thesis, for putting him on the path to education. He celebrated his achievement with his friends in Australia – a place that has inspired him to further the happiness vision for his country.

TEXHOMA, Okla. — Dorothy Roots Johnson, 97, of Texhoma died Wednesday, April 11, 2012, in Spearman, Texas.
Celebration of life services will be at 10 a.m. Monday in First Baptist Church of Texhoma with the Rev. Tommy Hull, pastor, and David Moore, youth pastor, officiating. Burial will follow in Texhoma Cemetery. Arrangements are by Henson-Novak Funeral Home of Guymon.
Dorothy Laureta Roots was born Jan. 21, 1915, in Tyrone to James Gibson "J.G." and Sara May "Ogle" Roots. The family moved to Texhoma in 1922, where she graduated from high school in 1933. She attended PAMC in Goodwell while working for Dr. Jack, the dentist in Texhoma. Dorothy married Lowell "Squidge" Johnson in his
parents' home on Christmas morning 1936. After marrying, Dorothy became a full-time wife and mother to their three children, Georgia, Patricia and Robert. Her home was the gathering place for many happy family occasions and where the grandchildren and neighborhood kids were always welcome.
Dorothy gave her life to the Lord Jesus Christ on her 34th birthday, having worked
faithfully in the church for several years before giving Jesus her heart. She continued her service to First Baptist Church of Texhoma in various ministries — Sunday school teacher for more than 50 years, VBS worker, "bus driver" for children to have a way to church. However, her heart was most fulfilled through her efforts in the Women's Missionary Union. She was honored with a
banquet for having served in WMU for 40 years; she served as associational WMU treasurer for several years and as associational WMU president as well as having served as president of the local WMU at First Baptist. Lifelong friendships developed with women across the area and the state due to their shared interest in reaching others for Christ through missions.
Dorothy was a loving mother and grandmother. She and Lowell were avid fans through the years of
Texhoma Red Devils, Gruver Lady Greyhounds, Goodwell Eagles and Lady Eagles,
Liberal Redskins and summer softball depending on which child, grandchild or great-grandchild was on the field, on the court, on the mound or on the track. Her four older great-grandchildren counted it a blessing to have photo memories of five generations once their children were born.
In 2006, after breaking her leg, Dorothy moved into
Dunaway Manor in Guymon, where she resided until a recent illness. Her family wishes to express their appreciation and deep
gratitude to the administration and staff of Dunaway Manor/Heritage Community. Also, words cannot express how thankful the family is
for the care Dorothy received in the BSA Critical Care Unit, Odyssey Hospice and Hansford Manor.
She was preceded in death by an infant daughter; her parents; her husband; two sisters, Madeline Sellers and Vera Bentley; her brother, James Roots; and her son-in-law, Fred Davidson.
Survivors include a daughter, Georgia Davidson of Gruver, Texas; a son, Robert Johnson and wife Rena of Dacula, Ga.; three granddaughters, Misha Moore and husband Gordon of Goodwell, Melinda Cline and husband Mike of Liberal, Kan., and Tammy Hursey and husband John of Lawrenceville, Ga. She was "Dot Mama" to her great-grandchildren, Adam and Jamie Cline of Wellington, Texas, David and Danae Moore of Goodwell, Courtney and Clayton Jackson of
Wichita Falls, Texas, Caleb and Mariah Cline of Liberal and Zachary, Austin, Joseph and Nathan Hursey of Lawrenceville. Her great-great-grandchildren are Savannah and Madison Cline, Trighton Moore, Peyton Cline, Colby Jackson and soon-to-arrive baby girl Moore. She also is survived by a brother-in-law, Buss Johnson of Texhoma; a sister-in-law, Millie Humphrey of Reseda, Calif.; a special great-niece and family, Jolene and Junior Ortega and Aleksa Solis of Amarillo; and many nieces and nephews.
The family will receive guests for viewing and visitation from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday in First Baptist Church of
The family suggests memorials be to Texhoma First
Baptist Church, Box 526,
Texhoma, OK 73949, or in care of Henson-Novak Funeral Directors, P.O. Box 1306, Guymon, OK 73942.

Belynda, did the radiation doctor have you put any lotion on afterwards and now?
I use XClair(prescription--I was told on this site about it) and it works great. Also I put around the rest of my body Burt's Bees fragrance free body lotion(you can buy it off their website-cheaper and bigger bottle than in store) and it works great.
Doing the exercise the therapist had me doing really loosens me up around my back and underarms.

I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on De'Anthony Thomas?
He is listed as a RB at 5' 9'' 170 lbs with a 40 yd dash of 4.34
I think he would be a perfect 2nd round pick for the Bengals. I read somewhere that Andrew Hawkins is unhappy with his role in the offense and is going to leave for free agency, so Thomas could fit in nicely in his role as a slot receiver. Also, Thomas is an amazing kickoff and punt returner. The Bengals can save roster space by cutting and using Thomas for return duties and the slot receiving duties.
Our offense is already dangerous with the likes of Green, Jones, Bernard, Green-Ellis, and Eifert. If we add a bonafide playmaker like Thomas to that mix, then perhaps we cover up the weakness that is Andy Dalton even better.

NAACP BATTLEGROUND POLL: Africans Americans Support Marriage Equality & DREAM ActNovember 06, 2012
(WASHINGTON)— According to the National Association for the advancement of Colored People's (NAACP) election eve battleground state poll African Americans show strong support for the civil rights of other Americans, including the DREAM Act and Marriage Equality.
A full 93% of respondents favor the Dream Act, which would provide an opportunity for undocumented youth to seek US citizenship (71% strongly, 21% somewhat). In national polling, only Latinos come close to this level of support.
In addition, 80% of our respondents support comprehensive immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship, with a majority (53%) strongly favoring this policy.
The data also found majority support for marriage equality for gays and lesbians. When asked about a constitutional right to marry, African American voters favor this 50%, and only 40% opposed. Support climbs to 57% in favor of marriage equality when specific religious protections are in place, as is the case in the ballot initiatives that will come up in Maryland, Maine and Washington State. In this case, only 31% opposed.
The NAACP will release key data from the poll throughout the day and will release the horse race results as polls come to a close.
Latest Data Released:
- National Jobs Program is Essential to Winning the African American Vote
- African Americans Remain Overwhelmingly Enthusiastic about President Obama
- African Americans Strongly Distrust the Republican Party to Advance Civil Rights
- Issues Important to African Americans Must Remain on the Agenda to Maintain African American Enthusiasm for 2016
- Democratic Advantage on Quality-of-Life Issues Substantial
- African Americans Believe Strongly in Self-Reliance to Achieve Success
The NAACP battleground poll interviewed 1,600 African American voters who have already voted, or were certain to vote in the November 6, 2012 presidential election. Interviews were conducted via telephone with live callers from November 1-5, 2012. For the 4 individual states (Ohio, Virginia, Florida and Georgia), a minimum of 400 interviews were completed to provide state-specific reliable estimates, and each state is weighted to reflect the known Census demographics for African American voters. The combined four state sample carries an overall margin of error of 2.5%, while each individual state carries a margin of error of 4.9%. Interviewing was administered and overseen by Pacific Market Research.

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Kim Walter
beekeeping, Kim Walter, Tennessee
I am a bit ashamed to admit that at first I didn't like bees. They buzzed around me and often I would step on them and get stung. I didn't understand bees or the important role they played in my day to day life.
Much later I became more curious about bees and wanted to learn more so I joined a local beekeeping club in my area and began attending meetings every month. I also took a short course on beekeeping offered by the very same club, attended a few conferences and found a mentor. My mentor told me that all that was left was to order a package of bees and let the real fun begin.
I was nervous because it was one thing to admire them from afar but quite another to have thousands of bees mere yards from my home. What if they snuck in during the night and stung me? What if they hated me and flew away? What if I killed them all? So many ifs….
I ordered my first package of bees that January and in April I was standing under a big oak tree as the club's bees were offloaded from the president's pickup truck. They called my name to gather my package…this was real, this was happening. I was putting literally thousands of bees into my car— had I thought this through all the way? Are these the actions of a sane individual?
On the drive home I drove slowly with the package of buzzing bees as my copilot, watching them closely after every curve or turn.
Once home I sprayed the bees with sugar water and, under the watchful eye of my mentor, began introducing them to their new hive, hands shaking. You basically pour them into your readied hive and they spill out by the thousands into their new home. They covered every inch of the hive and began investigating the home I had prepared for them. My mentor walked down the hill to retrieve a tool I had absentmindedly forgotten, leaving me alone with my new bees. As they buzzed all around me I felt an overwhelming sense of something— calmness.
It was hard to keep me out of that hive that first year and I am sure the bees mumbled under their breath when they saw me coming. My visits are now less frequent inside the hive but I take great pleasure just sitting by the hives watching the girls come and go heavy with nectar and pollen. It's amazing the see the kaleidoscope of colors they bring back from the fields and there is nothing like your first taste of warm honey from the hive.
Three years and four hives later, I am just as excited about beekeeping as that first day.

DATES: Back to Top
This amendment is effective on September 22, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Back to Top
Todd Ramaly, Land and Chemicals Division, Region 5, Mail Code LR-8J, Environmental Protection Agency, 77 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, Illinois 60604; telephone number: (312) 353-9317; fax number: (312) 582-5190; e-mail address: email@example.com.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Back to Top
I. General Information Back to Top
A. Does this action apply to me?
In this document EPA is amending appendix IX to part 261 to reflect a change in the status of a particular exclusion and, as such, will apply to a single facility.
B. How can I get copies of related information?
EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID No. EPA-R05-2010-0758. Publicly available docket materials are available either electronically through http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the Records Center, 7th floor, U.S. EPA Region 5, 77 West Jackson Blvd., Chicago, Illinois 60604. This facility is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. We recommend you telephone Todd Ramaly at (312) 353-9317 before visiting the Region 5 office. The public may copy material from the regulatory docket at $0.15 per page.
C. Why is EPA taking this action?
The petition process under Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR) 260.20 and 260.22 allows facilities to demonstrate that a specific waste from a particular generating facility should not be regulated as a hazardous waste. Based on waste-specific information provided by the petitioner, EPA granted an exclusion for up to 3,000 cubic yards of F006, wastewater treatment sludges from electroplating operations, annually to American Steel Cord, Scottsburg (64 FR 3869, January 26, 1999).
On April 22, 2010, the Agency was notified that ownership of the Scottsburg facility had been transferred to Tokusen U.S.A., Inc. Scottsburg <JFS America> (Tokusen). Tokusen certified it will meet all terms and conditions set forth in the delisting and will not change the characteristics of the waste at the Scottsburg facility without prior Agency approval. This notice documents the change by updating appendix IX to incorporate a change in name.
There are also a number of minor typographical errors identified in the existing exclusion that will be fixed by this amendment. The sentences containing the list of verification constituents in condition 1 of the exclusion are combined with a colon and the list of allowable concentrations with semicolons. The constituent "benzo butyl phthlate" is corrected to "benzylbutylphthalate". A zero is added before the decimal for concentrations that are less than 1. The description of the waste is corrected from "wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) sludge" to "wastewater treatment sludges" (description based on the listing). Confusing timing language in condition 4(d) of the exclusion is corrected from "* * * (if no information is presented under paragraph (c) the initial receipt of information described in paragraph (a) * * *" to "* * * if no information is presented under paragraph (c) * * *"
These changes to appendix IX of part 261 are effective September 22, 2010. The Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 amended section 3010 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to allow rules to become effective in less than six months when the regulated community does not need the six-month period to come into compliance. As described above, the facility has certified that it is prepared to comply. Therefore, a six-month delay in the effective date is not necessary in this case. This provides the basis for making this amendment effective immediately upon publication under the Administrative Procedures Act pursuant to 5 United States Code (U.S.C.) 5531(d).

2.Table 1 of Appendix IX of part 261 is amended by removing the "American Steel Cord" entry and adding a new entry "Tokusen U.S.A., Inc. Scottsburg <JFS America> (formerly American Steel Cord)" in alphabetical order by facility to read as follows:
Appendix IX to Part 261—Wastes Excluded Under §§ 260.20 and 260.22 Back to Top
|Waste description
|Tokusen U.S.A., Inc. Scottsburg <JFS America> (formerly American Steel Cord)
|Scottsburg, Indiana
|Wastewater treatment sludges from electroplating operations (EPA Hazardous Waste No. F006) generated at a maximum annual rate of 3,000 cubic yards per year, after January 26, 1999, and disposed of in a Subtitle D landfill.
|1. Verification Testing: Tokusen U.S.A., Inc. Scottsburg JFS America (Tokusen) must implement an annual testing program to demonstrate, based on the analysis of a minimum of four representative samples, that the constituent concentrations measured in the TCLP extract of the waste are within specific levels. The constituent concentrations must not exceed the following levels (mg/l) which are back-calculated from the delisting health-based levels and a DAF of 68: arsenic-3.4; barium-100; cadmium-0.34; chromium-5; copper-88.4; lead-1.02; mercury-0.136; nickel-6.8; selenium-1; silver-5; zinc-680; cyanide-13.6; acetone-272; benzylbutylphthalate-476; chloroform-0.68; 1,4-dichlorobenzene-0.272; cis-1,2-dichloroethene-27.2; methylene chloride-0.34; naphthalene-68; styrene-6.8; tetrachloroethene-0.34; toluene-68; and xylene-680. Tokusen must measure and record the pH of the waste using SW 846 method 9045 and must record all pH measurements performed in accordance with the TCLP.
|2. Changes in Operating Conditions: If Tokusen significantly changes the manufacturing or treatment process or the chemicals used in the manufacturing or treatment process, Tokusen may handle the wastewater sludges generated from the new process under this exclusion only after the facility has demonstrated that the waste meets the levels set forth in paragraph 1 and that no new hazardous constituents listed in Appendix VIII of Part 261 have been introduced.
|3. Data Submittals: The data obtained through annual verification testing or compliance with paragraph 2 must be submitted to U.S. EPA Region 5, 77 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604-3590, within 60 days of sampling. Records of operating conditions and analytical data must be compiled, summarized, and maintained on site for a minimum of five years and must be made available for inspection. All data must be accompanied by a signed copy of the certification statement in § 260.22(i)(12) of this chapter.
|4. (a) If, anytime after disposal of the delisted waste, Tokusen possesses or is otherwise made aware of any environmental data (including but not limited to leachate data or groundwater monitoring data) or any other data relevant to the delisted waste indicating that any constituent identified in Condition (1) is at a level in the leachate higher than the delisting level established in Condition (1), or is at a level in the ground water or soil higher than the health based level, then Tokusen must report such data, in writing, to the Regional Administrator within 10 days of first possessing or being made aware of that data.
|(b) Based on the information described in paragraph 4. (a) and any other information received from any source, the Regional Administrator will make a preliminary determination as to whether the reported information requires Agency action to protect human health or the environment. Further action may include suspending, or revoking the exclusion, or other appropriate response necessary to protect human health and the environment.
|(c) If the Regional Administrator determines that the reported information does require Agency action, the Regional Administrator will notify the facility in writing of the actions the Regional Administrator believes are necessary to protect human health and the environment. The notice shall include a statement of the proposed action and a statement providing the facility with an opportunity to present information as to why the proposed Agency action is not necessary or to suggest an alternative action. The facility shall have 10 days from the date of the Regional Administrator's notice to present such information.
|(d) Following the receipt of information from the facility described in paragraph 4. (c) or if no information is presented under paragraph 4. (c) the Regional Administrator will issue a final written determination describing the Agency actions that are necessary to protect human health or the environment. Any required action described in the Regional Administrator's determination shall become effective immediately, unless the Regional Administrator provides otherwise.

Enterprise Vendor Management
Most customers select the most appropriate vendor for each segment of their communications enterprise. This can result in trouble tickets involving several vendors troubleshooting multiple systems for a voice or data issue. The more services and vendors your company works with, the greater the room for errors such as miscommunication and mismanagement.
Altura can take the hassle of direct vendor management of each of your vendors off your hands, using our existing relationships to get things done on your behalf. Managed services should be about peace of mind, and in this case Altura takes the worry out of complex vendor management relationships, especially with Telco and network service providers.

BRIGHTON — City Council would like to give city staff more time to determine whether there are any potential buyers or developers who are interested in purchasing the former senior center, before deciding what they would do with it.
Council discussed the matter, but no formal action was taken, during its Aug. 26 study session, which carried over from its previous study session on Aug. 12.
Council has spent the better part of a year discussing and formulating plans for what to do with the former senior center, the cost of repairs and whether its should be designated as a local historical landmark.
On April 15, council approved the first reading of an ordinance that would designate the building a local historical landmark. After hearing community members comment on both sides of the issue, council determined it wanted to explore the issue further and suspended action on the second reading of the ordinance on May 6 until that discussion could take place.
In other business:
— Streets and Fleet Director Joe Smith presented council with an new construction and maintenance plan for the streets department. Brighton's last transportation master plan was updated in 2012 and does not reflect the city's adopted comprehensive plan or cover the industrial areas in Weld County.
— Economic Development Director Robert Smith presented council with an update of the Economic Development Corp.'s strategic plan. The strategic plan will be used as a guide for developing or continuing programs which will have implications for the city and EDC's budget planning.
— Council also heard an update on teen court, which is recruiting more kids and being promoted in the community.

An important part of creating an online personal branding strategy is often the part most skipped – the process of discovering what to brand yourself as. Many entrepreneurs and professionals are eager to get to the "how to" part of personal branding, but it's equally important to know what you'll be branding yourself as. Otherwise, how will you know what you're branding?
Think of this way: You wouldn't want to sell a car without revealing the car brand, right? Of course not. Knowing the car brand, whether it's a Ford or BMW, is part of the marketing message. And you shouldn't brand yourself online without discovering what is at the core of your personal brand. (Click here to tweet this.)
Many of you may be thinking: I already know how I want to brand myself! That's wonderful! However, I challenge you to put aside your initial thoughts and think about your personal branding in different terms. Furthermore, if you're not sure what to brand yourself as, these questions will help you isolate the core of your personal brand.
5 Questions To Ask Yourself To Discover How To Personally Brand Yourself
- What is my passion?
- What are my skill sets?
- What do others see me as an expert in?
- What do I want to get paid to do (though I would do it for free)?
- How do I want to help others?
Don't just rattle off the answers in your head. This is an exercise in self-discovery, and it deserves reflection and thought. Truth be told, rushing through this step will only hurt you in the end because you'll run the risk of branding yourself incorrectly.
Instead, copy and paste these questions into a Word document, or write them down on a sheet of paper. Then answer each question fully. Remember, it's not a college term paper: Don't worry about spelling and grammar. Write down the first responses that pop into your head. It's all about brainstorming and going with your instincts.
Finding The Core Of Your Online Personal Branding Strategy
After you've answered each question, analyze your answers. What you've written down is the very essence, the true core, of your personal branding. If you've answered each question honestly and completely, your responses to these five questions make up the answer to the biggest personal branding question of all: What do I want to brand myself as?
You see why this step is so important? You have to know your personal brand in your heart – only then can you convince people what your personal brand is.
Now, in the same Word document or on the same piece of paper, spell out your personal brand. Make sure to reference your answers to the five questions. It may go something like this:
"I am passionate about helping people succeed with personal branding, and my skill sets in social media, content marketing and training can help entrepreneurs and professionals achieve this success. I love helping entrepreneurs and professionals be the best they can be through online personal branding."
That's the core of my online personal branding strategy. Now, tell me, what's yours? Let me know in the comments below. I would love to hear from you.
Stuck on what type of original content to produce? Be sure to get my free report, 76 Types of Original Content That Will Skyrocket Your Brand. You'll never be short on content marketing ideas again!

Rendering a VBOPosted Wednesday, 11 August, 2010 - 09:05 by hannesh in
Hi there!
I'm a newbie to OpenGL, I moved here from DirectX using XNA, which I have tons of experience with.
So I've realised that the main ways to render things in OpenGL are to call Begin and then start specifying vertices, this seems slow.
I know that the other way is to use a VBO, I think I've succesfully created a VBO and filled it with data, but i'm not sure how to draw it. I'm pretty clueless about what to do in my draw function.
I'm used to DirectX's:
Some code on how to do this or an explanation would be most helpful.
I managed to solve the problem myself by reading someone elses code.
Here's how I got it working, please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong or badly:
uint VBOid; protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e) { base.OnLoad(e); GL.ClearColor(0.1f, 0.2f, 0.5f, 0.0f); GL.Enable(EnableCap.DepthTest); GL.GenBuffers(1, out VBOid); GL.BindBuffer(BufferTarget.ArrayBuffer, VBOid); myVertex[] vertices = new myVertex[4] { new myVertex(new Vector3(-0.5f, -0.5f, 0.0f)), new myVertex(new Vector3(-0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f)), new myVertex(new Vector3(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f)), new myVertex(new Vector3(0.5f, -0.5f, 0.0f)), }; GL.BufferData(BufferTarget.ArrayBuffer, (IntPtr)(4 * myVertex.SizeInBytes), vertices, BufferUsageHint.StaticDraw); } protected override void OnRenderFrame(FrameEventArgs e) { base.OnRenderFrame(e); GL.Clear(ClearBufferMask.ColorBufferBit | ClearBufferMask.DepthBufferBit); GL.VertexPointer(3, VertexPointerType.Float, 0, 0); GL.EnableClientState(ArrayCap.VertexArray); GL.BindBuffer(BufferTarget.ArrayBuffer, VBOid); GL.DrawArrays(BeginMode.Quads, 0, 4); SwapBuffers(); }

A block created in a layer
- will keep the layercolor if copied or moved to an other layer even if property color is set to 'By Layer'
- will be subject to the invisible property of the layer its was created in and the layer it was copied to
Is such behavior features or bugs?
Steps to reproduce:
I created a layer 'Hilfekonstruktion' and set the layer color to yellow.
- designed in this layer a rectangle consisting of 4 lines.
- as I needed several copies of it I decided to join them in a block.
- the lines color was set to 'By Layer'
Created two more layers. 'Varainte 1' color green and 'Varainte 2' color light blue.
Copied the block (with reference) in layer 'Hilfskonstruktion' and pasted it in Layer 'Varainte 1'
- was astonished to see block in yellow
Cut the block (with reference) in layer 'Hilfskonstruktion' and pasted it in Layer 'Varainte 2'
- again did see it in yellow.
First I thought, the blocks had not been moved to 'Varainte 1' and 'Varainte 2'. But now I do have the following behavior. But if I hide the layers in 'Layer List' I get the following behavior:
- if I set 'Hilfskonstruktion' to invisible all blocks disappear. So I set 'Hilfskonstruktion' back to visible
- if I set 'Varainte 1' to invisible the blocks in just this layer disappear
- if I set 'Varainte 2' to invisible the blocks in just this layer disappear
I then saved the file. When I reopened it the blocks still showed the same behavior. And there was even an additional Layer named 'Defpoints'! I'm pretty sure I did not create it...

The professor behind a controversial and heavily criticized gay parenting study is back in the headlines, this time with some eyebrow-raising claims a...
Read Whole Story
The brief authoritatively dismantles claims that same-sex marriage harms children and that kids "do better with a mother and a father," and it specifically repudiates the junk-science "study" of gay parenting published last year by researcher Mark Regnerus, an ASA member.
The Texas sociologist who sparked controversy earlier this year with a heavily-criticized study of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) paren...
Christianity Today just published an interview with the "embattled" sociologist Mark Regnerus. Unsurprisingly, the interview perpetuated the right-wing's popular characterization of Regnerus as the victim of political correctness.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) advocacy is apparently a religion -- at least in the eyes of one right-wing pundit.
As Right Wing Wa...
A cursory look at Regnerus' work tells me that it that needs to be put under a microscope and carefully examined. When one ponders the results, it seems to reveal more about the leanings of the researcher than it does about gay and lesbian parents.
Science is, by nature, unbiased, honest, and fact-driven. To call Regnerus' work "science" is just laughable -- and shame on the Deseret News for treating it as such without giving any thought to the many, many flaws in the study.

Two fires broke out in northern Vermont Sunday evening.
Dispatchers say flames engulfed a house in Burke. Five fire departments were called to the scene to help put it out. They were there for more than three hours.
The Red Cross was called to help residents. Dispatchers say the homeowner was injured, and was taken to be treated. No word on the extent of those injuries.
There was another fire in Montgomery, on Comstock Rd. Dispatchers say it started as a chimney fire.
Everybody made it out safely, but the Red Cross was called to help the residents.

Dicey's Song
by Cynthia Voigt
Dicey's Song Education Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
Dicey stared at the woman, at the heavy mottled flesh of her face. She thought maybe Millie wasn't very smart at all. She'd never thought of that before. (1.51)
Millie's been running her grocery store for many years, so it comes as a surprise to Dicey that it's a struggle for her to do it. Just because someone's successful at something doesn't mean they find it easy. And just because someone struggles with reading doesn't mean they're not smart.
Quote #2
Maybeth went right to the battered upright piano and picked out the tune she had been singing in the kitchen. She searched for notes that harmonized with the melody lines. Dicey watched her for a while, trying to figure out how to explain about fractions. (1.133)
Here's a fun question: how could you explain about fractions using music? There's gotta be a way.
Quote #3
They'd spent the first three weeks on diagramming and now they were going to read some stories. Dicey was sorry the diagramming was finished. She liked the precision of it. Besides, it was easy. (2.2)
Reading comprehension can be a lot more difficult than understanding the mechanics of sentence structure, but when you have both skills, you can create masterpieces. Raise your hand if you think Dicey has the makings of a writer.

For the first time since the departure of Greg Jamison nearly two years ago, representatives of the Sharks ownership group are making themselves available to the media for an on-the-record session about the team's operation.
If the question of profits and losses comes up, expect Kevin Compton, the closest person San Jose has to a visible person among the 11 co-owners, to say the team lost in excess of $15 million last season -- a figure he seems to be treating very matter-of-factly and not as something to whine about.
That number, by the way, is significantly higher than the one Jamison would occasionally provide; the team's finances are not open to public examination.
Four more picks follow, one in the fifth round, one in the sixth and two in the seventh.
The price? It'd only be a guess and there are enough others playing that game.

Blackstone's Tony James Opines On Economy, Election, Tax Reform
The third quarter was bad for the public markets, and Blackstone Group wasn't immune to the impact. The NYSE-listed firm posted an economic net loss of $342 million for the quarter, compared with net income of $339 million in the same period of 2010.
The loss was primarily due to mark-downs across Blackstone's various businesses including private equity, partially offset by an 18% increase in management and advisory fees over the year-ago levels.
On a conference call with reporters this morning, President Tony James acknowledged that the quarter was challenging, lowering exit prospects.
Indeed, longer gestation periods for real estate and private equity investments were one factor cited by Citigroup Inc. analyst Bill Katz last week in a report in which Katz removed Blackstone's stock from Citi's "Top Picks Live" list.
James said Blackstone "completely ignored" the analyst's report, noting that Blackstone focuses on doing "the best possible job for limited partners." He added that volatility in the firm's stock hasn't had much of an impact on its day-to-day operations. Blackstone went public in 2007 at $31 per share. The stock recently traded at $13.38, up 14 cents.
Meanwhile, James said Blackstone is seeing greater deal flow in distressed credit, mezzanine debt and real estate, as well as in international markets such as Europe and India. He said he anticipates the current environment to remain sluggish for some time to come.
"Our general view is stagnation," he said. "Things are not falling apart, but there isn't much by way of growth, either."
James also shared his thoughts on the ongoing debate over the U.S. budget deficit. "I don't see how this country can get out of [its deficit] without a combination of spending cuts, increasing taxes, and probably inflation."
"All affluent people in the United States will pay more taxes – and they should," James said, adding half-jokingly that, "Don't tell Steve [Schwarzman] I said that."
Schwarzman, Blackstone's chairman, is ranked 66th on the Forbes 400 richest people in America this year – the top-ranking private equity baron.
James also mentioned the 2012 presidential election. GOP presidential candidate front-runner Mitt Romney's job-creation record has been repeatedly challenged by critics who question his experience as co-founder of Bain Capital. James acknowledged that Democrats, bent on winning re-election, will run an "extremely negative campaign."
"Private equity will be villainized by the Democratic machine," James said.

Cameron in Liberia: a real chance for the world's poorest children
David Cameron could help lift 350 million children out of poverty when he takes part in a UN panel in Liberia today.
Friday 1 February 2013
It's just one of the ways the Prime Minister can help millions of children around the world this year. We're also pressing him to act on the global hunger crisis when he hosts June's G8 Summit in Northern Ireland.
If the right decisions are taken by the UN panel – which Mr Cameron co-chairs – we believe it could end extreme poverty in the next 20 years and help to prevent 3.5 million child deaths per year by 2030.
Historic opportunity
The UN High Level Panel on Post 2015 Development is tasked with creating a framework for global development after the current Millennium Development Goals expire in two years' time.
Brendan Cox, our policy and advocacy director, said: "If it does its job right, this panel will go down in history for setting out a blueprint that finally banishes two of the greatest injustices from our planet – extreme poverty and preventable child deaths."
Our recent report Ending Poverty In Our Generation lays out a roadmap that we believe will achieve these ambitious goals.
Aid works
Six UK health workers have recently returned from Liberia where they experienced what their counterparts face there.
They learnt of the enormous progress that's been made including the introduction of free health care for mothers and children under five. This policy has been made possible in part because of UK aid.
Kath Evans, a paediatric nurse from Welwyn Garden City, said: "This week has really confirmed for me that aid is making a difference. It's making a difference to the lives of children," she said.
Watch a video of Kath and her colleagues talking about their Liberian trip
An end to hunger
Mr Cameron's trip to Liberia comes a week after Save the Children and 100 other organisations launched Enough Food for Everyone IF – the biggest ever push against hunger.
Already more than 40,000 people have joined the campaign, which aims to win tangible policy changes from G8 leaders when the meet in June.
One of its key demands is that the Coalition government delivers on its promise to spend 0.7% of our national income on aid from 2013. You can help make sure it does by joining Enough Food for Everyone IF.

Department scientists receive $499,500 USDA Grant to study use of conservation tillage to improve stocker cattle profitability and improve soil and water quality
University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture scientists Paul Beck, Merle Anders, Brad Watkins, Shane Gadberry and Stacey Gunter recently received a 3-year grant for $499,500 from the National Research Initiative of the USDA Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service to fund research at the UA Livestock and Forestry Branch Station at Batesville, Ark This research will include both research and Extension demonstrations by animal scientists, agronomists and agricultural economists along with researchers from Oklahoma State University and the Noble Foundation in Ardmore, OK. This research will study the effect of conservation tillage for production of winter annual forages and how diversification of farming operation and conservation tillage can help beef producers improve their profits while meeting water quality standards enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency. This grant is a continuation of research that began in 2002 and was funded with a $100,000 NRI seed grant, which compares the performance of fields that have been conventionally tilled — the soil was turned over with disk and chisel plows — with fields that have managed with reduced tillage or no till. Don Hubbell, the director of the UA Livestock and Forestry Branch Station, said "These tests measured the effects of the different tilling systems on soil characteristics, erosion and runoff of nutrients; the performance of cattle grazed on the winter forages grown on the test fields; and the economic impact on costs of maintaining the pastures and returns on the sale of cattle." Results from the seed grant showed over $100 per acre advantage to conservation-tilled forages used for grazing, primarily due to significantly reduced equipment and fuel costs with little or no reduction in cattle performance. Significant improvements in soil and water quality were seen as well.
Department Scientists receive $453,853 USDA Grant to study strategic use of novel endophyte fescues that minimizes investment but maximizes production
University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture scientists, Ken Coffey, Mike Popp, John Jennings, Mary Savin, Charles Rosenkrans, Jr., and USDA scientist Mike Looper have been informed that they will receive a 4-year grant totaling $453,853 from the USDA NRI Program to determine the most efficient use of novel endophyte fescues in Arkansas cow/calf operations. Tall fescue toxicosis has plagued Arkansas cattle producers for decades. The most recent breakthrough in the tall fescue toxicosis area is to inject a fungus into tall fescue that helps the plant be more persistent and have greater drought resistance, but does not produce toxins that harm cattle. While cattle performance has been improved substantially with these forages, the economic benefits of converting all of a producer's acreage to the new "Novel" fescue do not offset the substantial investment costs. The USDA-funded a study to be conducted at the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture's Livestock and Forestry Branch Station at Batesville that will investigate the benefits of converting only 25% of the total acreage to the new tall fescue. Collaborators in the departments of Animal Science, Agricultural Economics and Agri Business, Crop, Soil, and Environmental Sciences, and the Cooperative Extension Service will be investigating the impacts of this smaller investment in new fescue technology on growth performance and physiology of cow-calf pairs, post-weaning calf performance, soil ecology, and economic returns. It is expected that moving cattle to the new fescue at strategic times will reduce the majority of the impact of tall fescue toxicosis and make this technology more economical for cattle producers in Arkansas. The study will begin in the winter of 2006 using both spring and fall-calving cows.

- Roadshow: Downtown San Jose gets bike lanes
Q I got a ticket Tuesday for driving in the bike lane more than 200 feet. Why? I had to get to work! I needed to turn right on Oakland Road from Hedding Street and Bob-the-Bike-Cop was targeting us people with places to go. If San Jose councilman Sam Liccardo hadn't made the area one lane, this wouldn't be a problem. Does he know how many days we do this? How far traffic backs up weekday mornings? When Hedding was two lanes each direction, traffic flowed. Now traffic stops.
Alexandra Krider
Ticked-off Ticketed Driver
A This could set you back over $211. This is the first complaint I've received on the Hedding narrowing in weeks. My hope was that traffic had smoothed out. Am I wrong?
Q I just remembered that I had not renewed my registration and I had to pay a late fee. I usually receive a notice by mail but didn't receive any this time. I did send the DMV my change of address. How do I know what address the DMV has in my records?
Arun Venkatesan
A You can call the DMV at 1-800-777-0133, and you will be asked for your previous address and new address.
Q There is a manhole cover with large holes surrounding it in the fast lane of north Camden Avenue right where it goes under the 17 freeway and then turns into San Tomas Expressway. It has been there for at least a dozen years. Is there any chance of it ever being repaired so one's tires are no longer at risk and one does not experience bone-jarring bumps?
Clare and Marilyn Keeney
A Really, 12 years? Well this has to be fixed, and county road crews will be out Saturday to give you a smoother ride.
Q When are they going to add another merge lane on Highway 101 south between De La Cruz Boulevard and 87? It seems like a very straightforward way to reduce the miles of backups on 101 during the evening commute.
Doug Newkirk
San Jose
A There are plans, but it'll be several years before there is money to do this work.
Q I had to chuckle at your column on California gas prices. Here in New Mexico, I'm finding it as low as $2.89 a gallon. Don't miss California at all except for my daughter and son-in-law.
Mary Johnson
Rio Rancho, N.M.
A Go ahead, rub it in. The national average stands at $3.28 per gallon, which is the lowest price of the year.
Missouri and Wyoming have an average below $3 a gallon and five other states have an average within a dime of this threshold. Lovely New Mexico is at $3.13 and California -- ouch! -- $3.72.
Q This is not important but it is driving me crazy. In this highly evolved high-tech world, why do wheels on cars in commercials still spin BACKWARD?
Mary Murkas
San Jose
A It's an optical illusion. The rate at which the image is recorded on TV is something like 30 frames per second, but the wheels take just a fraction of that time to rotate one complete turn. That can make it appear as if the tires are rotating backward.

Is Your Greek Yogurt High in Saturated Fat?
Greek yogurt is enjoying huge popularity right now but I want to urge you to be sure and read the nutrition information label on brands of Greek yogurt that you haven't tried before. You might be surprised to find that the Greek yogurt you bought at the store contains 250 calories, 14 grams fat and 9 grams saturated fat per 6 ounce serving.
How do I know this can happen? Because it happened to me. I was at a supermarket chain where I don't normally shop and I grabbed The Greek Gods brand of traditional Greek yogurt. What can I say; I need glasses to read the fine print.
Here are two brands that are shockingly high in fat and saturated fat:
The Greek Gods Greek Yogurt (honey flavor)— 6 ounces per serving
This yogurt contains pasteurized grade A milk, cream, pure cane sugar, honey, pectin and active cultures.
250 calories
6 g protein
23 g carbohydrate
14 grams fat
9 grams saturated fat
40 mg cholesterol
Trader Joe's Greek Style Yogurt (honey flavor)—8 ounces per serving
This yogurt contains pasteurized grade A milk, cream, nonfat milk, a blend of imported Greek honey and honey, live and active cultures.
300 calories
10 g protein
29 g carbohydrate
14 g fat
13 g saturated fat
80 mg cholesterol
Nine to thirteen grams of saturated fat and 250 to 300 calories is a far cry from the nonfat Greek yogurt I usually bring home. The nonfat Greek yogurts not only have zero grams of saturated fat, they also have double the protein!
Here are a few of the nonfat brands found in most supermarkets (with no more than 22 grams of carbohydrates per 6-ounce serving):
Yoplait Greek 2x Protein (honey vanilla flavor)— 6 ounces per serving
150 calories
14 g protein
22 g carbohydrate
0 grams fat
0 grams saturated fat
10 mg cholesterol
Chobani Nonfat Greek Yogurt (honey)— 6 ounces per serving
150 calories
16 g protein
20 g carbohydrate
0 g fat
0 g saturated fat
0 mg cholesterol
Dannon Greek Yogurt (vanilla)—6 ounces per serving
110 calories
12 g protein
17 g carbohydrate
0 g fat
0 g saturated fat
10 mg cholesterol
Stonyfield Organic Oikos Greek Yogurt (vanilla)— 5.3 ounces per serving
110 calories
15 g protein
12 g carbohydrate
0 g fat
0 g saturated fat
0 mg cholesterol
Has this happened to you with another food item?
