The selective roster of Jordan Brand athletes is filled with young superstar talent with unparalleled potential. Andruw Jones is one of those professional athletes that could be described in that way, as he reached a peak at an unusually young age and maintained that status with his outfield defense and his powerful bat. He was once described as the next Ken Griffey Jr., as Jones possessed all the tools of an elite player and began a stretch of ten straight Gold Glove awards at the age 21. Things didn't go so well for Jones after he left Atlanta, but his tenure as a Brave is enough to deem Jones of the best defensive outfielders of all time, and his 418 career home-runs could spell out a Hall-of-Fame bid. These Air Jordan XII PEs were issued to Jones in 2004, and here we finally got a look at these PEs in game-worn and autographed form. Check out the extra shots below and if you're interested in adding these to a rare Air Jordan PE collection, check out the auction from nd4speed83 on eBay.

Court's Ruling Deals Dodd-Frank Another Blow
In short, the federal judge ruled that the CFTC did not pass his test of proving that position limits were necessary before imposing them -- in other words, the judge was unconvinced that position limits would do anything to stop financial speculation driving prices up in commodity markets, particularly, but not limited to the oil markets.
By ruling against the CFTC and for the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association and International Swaps and Derivatives Association complainants -- represented mostly by investment banks like Goldman Sachs , Morgan Stanley , JP Morgan and other trading firms -- not only has the judge threatened the tools of the CFTC uses to regulate its markets, it has threatened the motivations for Dodd-Frank entirely.
So this is a big deal and leaves the CFTC in a very strange place. What can they do now to try and save their reputation, regulatory power and their mandate from Dodd-Frank? One thing they can try and do is rewrite their position limits rules to try and get inside the judge's idea of what is "necessary and appropriate," a process that will take at least six months and possibly more with limited chance of success.
A second option would be to abandon many of the tools that the CFTC customarily uses to regulate the futures markets, including position limit, margin and transparency requirements, and seek a new set of mandates from the government.
Both of these options are more than unpalatable -- they are nearly impossible.
The last option is the obvious but equally daunting one: Appealing the judge's ruling.
Without an overturning of this ruling, however, it is unclear how the CFTC can enforce its mandate of oversight over the futures markets given to it by the Dodd-Frank law. It is much more likely that the entire effort will be left on the scrap heap of history, and investors will again be forced to ask where the oversight was when the next derivative/futures/swaps financial crisis arrives.
In light of this ruling, it is becoming clear that the banks and traders have won their long battle and continue to notch victories in turning much of the Dodd-Frank legislation into a toothless and weak paper tiger.
And that will lead to a far easier path to a fresh financial crisis, and bad news for everyone. Follow @Dan_Dicker

"Oh Lord, bless all those truckers who are on the road. Protect them as they haul each load. Watch over them by day and night. Keep them always in your sight. Give their tires some extra grip, so they will neither slide nor slip. Keep them alert both night and day as they travel on their way. When they rest in their lonely beds, place thoughts of home within their heads. After their run, please bring them home, let them know they are not alone. Bless all the truckers on the roads, help them as they haul each load. Then when they stand before your throne, let their log books read — The trucker's home." (One Trucker's Prayer)

The goal is 'leadership for the greater good'June 12th, 2012, 3:20 pm by walexander
DANA POINT, Greg Wise: With our new-and-improved conservative U.S. Supreme Court allowing unbridled, anonymous wealth to create shadow campaigns through super political action committees, a few huge donors will shape priorities, feed fears and skew truth.
The far-right would deny women the right to an abortion and deny them affordable health care. It would declare wars yet refuse to raise taxes to pay for them. It would wage campaigns of fear instead of ideas. It would separate instead of unify and give free rein to capitalism where the wealthy get richer, and everyone else gets poorer.
Ronald Reagan's "Trickle Down Theory" holds absolutely no water now that the corporate masters have exported most of the jobs that would trickle to the middle class, lowering the tide for all but the wealthiest Americans. They would idealize a previous era of America, where prejudice, misogyny, McCarthyism and systemic injustice were standard operating procedure.
I am not buying it. I am outraged. I believe that both men running for president have a clear vision of what is best for our country. I also believe that leadership for the greater good, that embraces the poor and marginalized and that honors peace, justice and unity, is truly the American way. These are not just Judeo-Christian values but are the foundation of all of the world's great faith traditions.Read the rest of this entry »

This is a great lesson for kids new to the internet. They will utilize links, searches, and transferring images. I use this lesson to summarize a biome unit and the kids create great posters and presentations. Enjoy!
Subject : EcologyStandards Addressed
Grades: 9-10
6. Stability in an ecosystem is a balance between competing effects. As a basis for understanding this concept:
a. Students know biodiversity is the sum total of different kinds of organisms and is affected by alterations of habitats.
b. Students know how to analyze changes in an ecosystem resulting from changes in climate, human activity, introduction of nonnative species, or changes in population size.
f. Students know at each link in a food
web some energy is stored in newly made structures but much energy is dissipated
into the environment as heat. This dissipation may be represented in an
energy pyramid.
Back to topInstructional Objectives
Back to topStudent Activities
For an introductory activity, students will create a list of characteristics about the area in which they live. Have a discussion as to why certain plants and animals only live in certain areas. For an enabling activity, students will create a food web including energy flow . The culminating activity is the creation of a poster and presentation of their selected biome.
Back to topEnabling Activity
Create a food web using the plants and animals of your biome. Students must show energy arrows. They must include the flow of energy and how it diminishes at each level.
Back to topCulminating Activity
For this unit, students will be creating a poster and presentation about their chosen biome. They will present their posters to the class and be prepared to answer questions from other students. The poster will include the following about their biome:

The study has entered its next phase and is now in the hands of the Technical Transportation Committee (TTC), a committee of the LCG's Metropolitan Planning Organization, for further study, primarily with respect to traffic concerns. The committee holds monthly meetings at the Lafayette Natural History Museum and welcome public input. If you would like to attend these meetings and provide input, click here for the calendar of meeting dates and times.
Any plan to redevelop Johnston Street must take into account:
Even with these modifications to the proposed plan, we do not get a perfect solution, but we do get a very good solution that allows us to tackle many of the issues related to present day Johnston Street.
Together, we can improve the overall appearance of Johnston Street by continuing to push forward on its redevelopment. Once complete, Johnston Street will be more attractive, modern and will encourage new investment in businesses and properties alike. Surely, this must be worth the effort.
We strongly encourage Lafayette Consolidated Government, the Johnston Street Coordinating Team, and the Metropolitan Planning Organization to adopt this alternative approach to the redevelopment of Johnston Street.

Superconducting Parametric Amplifier for the Measurement of Small dc Voltages38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721066View Description Hide Description
A new device capable of measuring minute dc voltages is described, and a simple theory which describes the operation and predicts the performance is presented. Experimental amplifiers have demonstrated dc sensitivities which closely approach the maximum attainable by any device. Their performance characteristics agree satisfactorily with the theory. Sensitivities of 4×10−14 V with a source resistance of 4×10−7 Ω and a time constant of ≈ 1 sec have been obtained at 4.2°K. The ultimate sensitivity appears to be limited only by the noise present in the source itself.
Cylindrical Capacitor as an Analyzer I. Nonrelativistic Part38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721067View Description Hide Description
The dynamic and optical properties of the cylindrical capacitor for nonrelativistic charged particles were studied for certain arrangements of the source and some interesting features were found. A point source embedded in the inner cylinder on the common axis of the capacitor can be imaged for any angle of emission θ0 between 0 and π/2. Each angle θ0 has its corresponding K 0 factor incorporating the geometrical and electrical parameters of the device. K 0 and θ0 together determine uniquely the distance between the source and its image on the common axis of the capacitor. There exists a first order focus for all angles of emission except θ0=42°18.5′; for the latter there is a second order focus. The figures of merit of this analyzer concerning resolution and transmission were found to be better than those of other forms of the cylindrical analyzer. However, the deflecting voltages required in the new device are higher. The calculations were checked experimentally for θ0=π/4.
Image Furnace for Low Yield Nuclear Weapons Effects Simulation38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721068View Description Hide Description
The capability of the Naval Applied Science Laboratory for direct simulation of thermal effects due to nuclear weapons has been extended to low yield devices [as small as 10 kilotons (kt)] by the installation of a high performance servo‐driven shutter in a carbon arc imagingfurnace. The system can simulate thermal radiation pulses from atmospheric detonations with yields of from 10 kt to the largest devices. It can deliver a maximum irradiance of 190 J cm−2 sec−1 over an effective spot diameter (irradiance at least 90% of maximum) of approximately 17 mm using a single ellipsoidal mirror. With the addition of a second mirror, a maximum irradiance of over 850 J cm−2 sec−1 can be obtained with an effective spot diameter of about 4 mm. Arbitrary pulse shapes can also be delivered. Provision is made to record irradiance histories and source characteristics during each exposure without appreciably interfering with sample irradiation.
Measurement of Time Differences in the Range Milli‐ to Picoseconds38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721069View Description Hide Description
The application of the internal electronics of a commercial sampling oscilloscope, modified by a few additional components which do not interfere with the normal functions of the oscilloscope, as a very fast time‐to‐amplitude converter for measurements of short time differences is described. The electronic modifications and their functions are reported. The electronic time resolution has a FWHM of 3.2×10−11 sec, a slope decay t 1/2 of 5×10−12 sec, and certainly can be improved. The range of measurable time differences lies between some picoseconds and some milliseconds.
Device to Measure the Voltage‐Current Relations in Biological Membranes38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721070View Description Hide Description
A device has been designed and constructed, largely of commercially available operational amplifiers, to measure the voltage‐current relations in biological membranes due to the ion flux through them. The device operates in three modes: to clamp the voltage across the membrane to some predetermined value and record the current, to clamp the current through the membrane and record the trans‐membrane voltage, and to record dV/dI, the resistance of the membrane measured in a time short compared to the ion redistribution time.
Design of a Sonic Pressure Gauge38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721071View Description Hide Description
The design of a gauge capable of measuring gas pressures in the range from atmospheric pressure to 10−4 mm Hg by acoustic techniques is presented. The principles of acoustic transmission in the classical and geometrical relaxation regimes of gas dynamics are reviewed for the case of a confined volume of gas. The geometrical conditions for the feasibility of a sonic pressure gauge following a linear law are obtained. Practical limitations in the sound source used give rise to a change in the sensitivity of the gauge in the transition from classical to geometrical relaxation regime. Transducer and electronic design and a calibration curve of the gauge are given. The experimental results are in general agreement with the analysis.
Cryostat for Studies at ∼100 Kilobars at Liquid Helium Temperatures38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721072View Description Hide Description
A cryostat to transmit the load of a 270 ton press to a chamber at liquid helium temperatures is described. The pressure transmitting columns are made of an epoxy resin‐bonded glass fiber laminate. The liquid helium consumption is ∼10 liters to cool from ∼70 to 4.2°K, and the boiloff rate is ∼1.2 liters. Measurements of the electrical resistance of bismuth between 4.2 and 77°K at different pressures up to ∼85 kilobars were made using a Bridgman anvil (1.27 cm face) geometry.
Silicon‐Controlled Rectifier Circuitry for Producing Pulsed Magnetic Fields38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721073View Description Hide Description
A switching circuit using a high powr silicon‐controlled rectifier to discharge a high energy (5 kJ), low voltage (450 V) capacitor bank into pulse coils immersed in liquid helium is described. A free‐wheeling diode assures that the pulses remain unidirectional. The circuit has successfully operated with inductance‐resistance‐capacitance (LRC) combinations yielding pulses having rise times τ R and decay times τ D in the ranges 0.80 msec ≤τ R ≤0.25 sec and 2.2 msec ≤τ D ≤1.2 sec, respectively. Another SCR is used to shunt unwanted capacitor energy to an auxiliary circuit at any desired time during the pulse duration. This function is used to protect the pulse coils from overheating and to conserve liquid helium. The use of special, fixed‐geometry coppercoils is described which enables one to obtain initial rates of change of the applied magnetic fieldḢ 0 which varied over many orders of magnitude (102<Ḣ 0<108 Oe/sec). The circuit, while generally useful in most solid‐state studies requiring pulsed‐magnetic fields, was used to study flux‐jumping, rate effects, and critical currents in tubes and wires made of type II superconducting materials. Some of these experiments are described.
Ultrastable Voltage Source to 10 kV Using Capacitive Feedback38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721074View Description Hide Description
A unique system has been developed with the capability for use as a voltage monitor or regulated voltage source to a stability level as good as 1 ppm/12 h, or 0.1 ppm/15 min. The system employs a precision capacitor charged to a voltage level matching the level of interest, so that it provides optimum discrimination against amplifier noise and also obviates the need for a voltage divider. A useful voltage range from 1 kV to 10 kV has been demonstrated and there is reason to hope that the technique can be applied at higher voltage levels. The short term stability, for time intervals of 1 hour or less, is superior to that obtainable from a conventional system containing the usual voltage reference, voltage divider, and dc amplifier.
Very Precise 30 Nanosecond Linear Gate38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721075View Description Hide Description
After a short theoretical exposition of a method for compensating inaccuracies in parallel‐diode switch‐gates, a linear gate circuit is presented which is based on the described principle. Accurate measurements of differential linearity error in the whole dynamic range (0–10 V) have been done. The results of experimental checks of rise time, pedestal, rejection factor, and thermal stability are also given. The circuit which operates with gating pulses longer than 30 nsec is believed to introduce a considerable improvement in comparison with previously given solutions, mainly from the linearity point of view.
Series Interferometer for the Diagnosis of a Large Diameter Theta‐Pinch38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721076View Description Hide Description
An optical interferometer, particularly suitable for the refractive diagnosis of large dimension plasmas is described. Throughout the work, the theory of the instrument is revised in view of plasma applications. Subsequently, a detailed description of a 12 m long series interferometer working on a large diameter theta‐pinch is given. During the experiment, both a Q‐switched ruby laser and a pulsed arc lamp have been used.
High Resolution Zero‐Crossing Detector for Long Crossover Times38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721077View Description Hide Description
A circuit designed to detect the zero‐crossing of bipolar pulses having crossover times of 100 nsec or greater is described. True zero‐crossing detection is accomplished by using an external strobe to generate a pedestal which is then applied to a tunnel diode, normally biased off, allowing it to switch when the input signal crosses zero. Tests with scintillation pulses show that amplitude‐dependent timing errors are less than 0.25 nsec for a pulse‐height range of 100. The principal application of the circuit is in the separation of scintillation pulses according to their pulse shapes.
Characteristics of Traveling Wave Helices in ESR Spectrometers38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721078View Description Hide Description
Design criteria for construction of helices for microwave spectrometers are discussed with particular attention to large magnetic fields required for double resonance work. Some coil‐to‐guide matching techniques are evaluated with regard to efficiency, sensitivity, and simplicity. Techniques of coil and match evaluation are discussed in detail.
Simulation of Nucleonic Cascades as a Means of Studying Fluctuations38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721079View Description Hide Description
A method is described for generating electrical signals with waveform analogous to the longitudinal distribution of particles in fluctuating nucleonic cascades. Measurements carried out on the signals are equivalent to Monte Carlo calculations for the cascades. Results are applicable in the study of cosmic ray air showers. Signal fluctuations arise from fluctuations in quantities that represent atmospheric level and inelasticity of the dominant nucleon—nucleus interactions.
High Sensitivity Compression Fixture38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721080View Description Hide Description
An apparatus to measure compression loads accurately in a controlled atmosphere is described. The design places the load cell inside the test chamber. The apparatus has been used for testingmaterials up to 1200°C.
Accurate and Straightforward Alignment Procedures for X‐Ray Diffractometers Equipped with a Eulerian Cradle38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721081View Description Hide Description
This paper describes the kind and sequence of measurements that lead to an accurate assessment of all instrument parameters of an x‐ray diffractometer that incorporates up to six axes of rotation. Included in this description are determinations of the zero settings of 2θ, ω, and χ with or without the use of x rays. Each parameter can be uniquely determined, one at a time, in a completely straightforward manner with the use of only two tools, the autocollimator and the dial indicator, and a small assortment of special fixtures. A few design features are outlined that facilitate alignment checks. Directions for the alignment of a number of components are given, and can be performed by the user, thereby eliminating the need for expensive machining. A brief discussion of some serious errors caused by defective counters is also included.
High Emission Photocathode for Swarm Experiments38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721082View Description Hide Description
A device for obtaining relatively large photocurrents from small ultraviolet lightsources is described. The device has several advantages over the conventional techniques that are currently used and is well suited for use in experimental studies that require a cold electron source. In this connection it has been successfully used as the electron source in a high pressureion source of a mass spectrometer.
Reversible Precounter for Photon Counting38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721083View Description Hide Description
The conversion of a Cary model 14 spectrofluorimeter to photon counting with automatic background noise subtraction is described. For purposes of economy and rapid conversion, an existing events counter‐timer was used and a reversible precounter made to accomplish the noise subtraction.
Magnetic Slit38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721084View Description Hide Description
A magnetic slit for momentum definition and beam separation is described. The 2.5‐m magnetic slit was designed and built at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center to be used in combination with a pulsed bending magnet to guide a 20‐GeV/c electron beam with a dispersion of 3% to three experimental areas.
Dead Weight Piston Gauge for Pressures to 26 Kilobars38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721085View Description Hide Description
The design and operation of a dead weight piston gauge for pressures to 26 kilobars is described. The gauge is of the controlled clearance type. The diameter of the gauge piston is 0.2 cm. It is loaded directly with up to 840 kg of weights. A volume of about 1 cm3 is provided inside the gauge for the material under test. The use of this gauge for transition pressure determinations is briefly discussed.

40 CFR Part 51, Appendix V to Part 51 - Criteria for Determining the Completeness of Plan Submissions
Appendix V to Part 51—Criteria for Determining the Completeness of Plan Submissions
1.0. Purpose
This appendix V sets forth the minimum criteria for determining whether a State implementation plan submitted for consideration by EPA is an official submission for purposes of review under § 51.103.
1.1 The EPA shall return to the submitting official any plan or revision thereof which fails to meet the criteria set forth in this appendix V, and request corrective action, identifying the component(s) absent or insufficient to perform a review of the submitted plan.
1.2 The EPA shall inform the submitting official whether or not a plan submission meets the requirements of this appendix V within 60 days of EPA's receipt of the submittal, but no later than 6 months after the date by which the State was required to submit the plan or revision. If a completeness determination is not made by 6 months from receipt of a submittal, the submittal shall be deemed complete by operation of law on the date 6 months from receipt. A determination of completeness under this paragraph means that the submission is an official submission for purposes of § 51.103.
2.0. Criteria
The following shall be included in plan submissions for review by EPA:
2.1. Administrative Materials
(a) A formal letter of submittal from the Governor or his designee, requesting EPA approval of the plan or revision thereof (hereafter "the plan").
(b) Evidence that the State has adopted the plan in the State code or body of regulations; or issued the permit, order, consent agreement (hereafter "document") in final form. That evidence shall include the date of adoption or final issuance as well as the effective date of the plan, if different from the adoption/issuance date.
(c) Evidence that the State has the necessary legal authority under State law to adopt and implement the plan.
(d) A copy of the actual regulation, or document submitted for approval and incorporation by reference into the plan, including indication of the changes made (such as, redline/strikethrough) to the existing approved plan, where applicable. The submittal shall be a copy of the official State regulation/document signed, stamped and dated by the appropriate State official indicating that it is fully enforceable by the State. The effective date of the regulation/document shall, whenever possible, be indicated in the document itself. If the State submits an electronic copy, it must be an exact duplicate of the hard copy with changes indicated, signed documents need to be in portable document format, rules need to be in text format and files need to be submitted in manageable amounts (e.g., a file for each section or chapter, depending on size, and separate files for each distinct document) unless otherwise agreed to by the State and Regional Office.
(e) Evidence that the State followed all of the procedural requirements of the State's laws and constitution in conducting and completing the adoption/issuance of the plan.
(f) Evidence that public notice was given of the proposed change consistent with procedures approved by EPA, including the date of publication of such notice.
(g) Certification that public hearing(s) were held in accordance with the information provided in the public notice and the State's laws and constitution, if applicable and consistent with the public hearing requirements in 40 CFR 51.102.
(h) Compilation of public comments and the State's response thereto.
2.2. Technical Support
(a) Identification of all regulated pollutants affected by the plan.
(b) Identification of the locations of affected sources including the EPA attainment/nonattainment designation of the locations and the status of the attainment plan for the affected areas(s).
(c) Quantification of the changes in plan allowable emissions from the affected sources; estimates of changes in current actual emissions from affected sources or, where appropriate, quantification of changes in actual emissions from affected sources through calculations of the differences between certain baseline levels and allowable emissions anticipated as a result of the revision.
(d) The State's demonstration that the national ambient air quality standards, prevention of significant deterioration increments, reasonable further progress demonstration, and visibility, as applicable, are protected if the plan is approved and implemented. For all requests to redesignate an area to attainment for a national primary ambient air quality standard, under section 107 of the Act, a revision must be submitted to provide for the maintenance of the national primary ambient air quality standards for at least 10 years as required by section 175A of the Act.
(e) Modeling information required to support the proposed revision, including input data, output data, models used, justification of model selections, ambient monitoring data used, meteorological data used, justification for use of offsite data (where used), modes of models used, assumptions, and other information relevant to the determination of adequacy of the modeling analysis.
(f) Evidence, where necessary, that emission limitations are based on continuous emission reduction technology.
(g) Evidence that the plan contains emission limitations, work practice standards and recordkeeping/reporting requirements, where necessary, to ensure emission levels.
(h) Compliance/enforcement strategies, including how compliance will be determined in practice.
(i) Special economic and technological justifications required by any applicable EPA policies, or an explanation of why such justifications are not necessary.
2.3. Exceptions
2.3.1. The EPA, for the purposes of expediting the review of the plan, has adopted a procedure referred to as "parallel processing." Parallel processing allows a State to submit the plan prior to actual adoption by the State and provides an opportunity for the State to consider EPA comments prior to submission of a final plan for final review and action. Under these circumstances, the plan submitted will not be able to meet all of the requirements of paragraph 2.1 (all requirements of paragraph 2.2 will apply). As a result, the following exceptions apply to plans submitted explicitly for parallel processing:
(a) The letter required by paragraph 2.1(a) shall request that EPA propose approval of the proposed plan by parallel processing.
(b) In lieu of paragraph 2.1(b) the State shall submit a schedule for final adoption or issuance of the plan.
(c) In lieu of paragraph 2.1(d) the plan shall include a copy of the proposed/draft regulation or document, including indication of the proposed changes to be made to the existing approved plan, where applicable.
(d) The requirements of paragraphs 2.1(e)-2.1(h) shall not apply to plans submitted for parallel processing.
2.3.2. The exceptions granted in paragraph 2.3.1 shall apply only to EPA's determination of proposed action and all requirements of paragraph 2.1 shall be met prior to publication of EPA's final determination of plan approvability.

Biosolids and Residuals
Trash(tampons, etc.) problem w/ land application
I am a landowner that allows liquid biosolids to be applied to my land. I have an ongoing concern with trash like tampons, condoms, plastic, etc. that are coming out with the biosolids.
I've expressed my concerns with the company that applies, but they say that some of these things will get through the system and it is hard for them to get it all out.
What should be an "acceptable" level of this trash?
I would think with today's technology, they should be able to get out all the trash at the plants.
The application company put in a homemade screening box which was made from a large roll-off box with a couple of walls of expanded metal "screens". The problem is the holes are too large and the trash passes through them. When I pointed that out, they said that any smaller holes will clog too quickly because of hair.
I've researched a screening system like a Muffin Monster, but the costs are extremely high.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Most likely the screening equipment at the head-end of the wastewater plant is not designed properly or is not being operated / maintained properly. At our plant, we have 6 mm mechanical screens and none of the stuff you mention gets past them. As screens get years on them, they pass material because seals wear and leak, teeth break off, etc. At this point, rehab is in order. A muffin monster can work (it grinds the material into small pieces, doesn't screen it out). It should be the plant's responsibility to bring you trash-free sludge.

We have basically followed the coast in Croatia and Island hopped. Sometimes the very long way round much to my amusement and Jarrads dismay! Whopps.
Walking around the city walls in Dubrovnik definitely a highlight as is mooching about the islands on island time. Korcula Island was beautiful, llike a mini Dubrovnik
Have just done the 1000km trip and are now in Munich - got detained in Slovenia...temporarily had our passports held until we drove to the servo and got 20 Euro out for the fine for Jarrads licence expiring end of August...opppps. Think they put it in the too hard basket to prosecute us further!
Octoberfest has just started in Munich so sure there will be some fun sights and plenty of pissheads about.
I am heading back to Sydney in a couple of weeks and Jarrad is off to Malaysia early November for Powerman race. Perhaps Jarrad will continue to Travel-Pod it for the rest of the adventure....

rHGH Spray Complex is a potent anti-aging formula. Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is a protein-like hormone released by the pituitary gland. The hypothalamus directs the pituitary gland in how much HGH should be released. Human growth hormone levels increase during the night in the sleep cycle and decrease during the day.
As we age HGH levels decline. With declined levels of HGH muscle and bone strength decrease, energy levels deplete, tissue repair and cell growth are at a much slower rate. The healing capacity becomes less and less. Revitalization of hair and skin diminish, Body fat increases while lean body mass decreases. Bone becomes more fragile and cholesterol and triglycerides levels are increased and the heart wall can thicken pumping less blood. Psychological problems including social isolation, depression, inability to concentrate, and fatigue come with decreased human growth hormone levels.
Benefits of rHGH include:
• Conversion of body fat to muscle mass Growth acceleration of all tissues
•Energy level increase Tissue repair
•Whole body healing Cell replacement
•Bone strength Brain function
•Sexual function Organ health and integrity
•Enzyme production Healthier hair, nails, skin and vital organs
Your body is always producing HGH or it could not function. The older you get the less and less HGH you secrete each year. By the age of 20 years we secrete an average of 500 micrograms a day of HGH. At the age of 40 years of age, we secrete 200 micrograms per day of HGH. At the age of 80 years old we average on 25 micrograms/day of HGH.
rHGH ingredients are of a homeopathic nature. Homeopathics work by using extremely minute doses of metabolic factors, organs, tissues, plants, minerals to stimulate the body's own natural capacity to restore and renew. Homeopathics stimulate a cellular reaction in the body to activate a restoration response. There is a specific DNA code for human growth hormone. Through the combination of sugar and purine or pyrimidine inserted into organic strains to produce a protein chain recognized by the body as HGH. The recombinant (r)HGH created in this process, is purified, and refined yields the homeopathic preparation.
Other ingredients:
Deer Antler - deer antlers in various stages grow quickly at an amazing rate of 1 inch per day in some species. In order to maintain this kind of growth the cartilage, bones and supporting tissues must also grow at an expedited rate. Growth factors are proteins found in the amazing process.
Carduus Marianus - Liver and gallbladder protectant, increases glutathione by 45%.
Arnica Monatana - support tissue regeneration, promotes healing processes.
Damiana - supports low libido, erectile dysfunction, and depression.
Thuja - is highly effective in wart removal, skin inflammation, nasal catarrh, asthma, eczema, itching, conditions which deteriorate.
Galium Aparine - skin problems, seborrhoeic, eczema, psoriasis, detox.
Acidum Phosphoricum - mind clarity, vertigo, blood supply, emotional support, circulation encourager.
Different people notice different result with rHGH. Some people see immediate results while other experience subtle benefits. With proper diet and exercise, the results can be faster and more pronounced. rHGH therapy has assisted many with a newness of life.

Old friend of ours BKM /Saints4ever (they like to call us Widnes reserves) is telling town4me that they are 6th in the league and town4me has to deal with it!!!!!! He doesn't seem to have worked it out that if Town won one of their two games in hand, say Keighley at home, then Town will be 6th and Haven will drop down to 7th. Could he deal with that, I wonder?
I remember when .............................
"It is impossible not to feel a twinge of sympathy for Workington Town, the fall guys this season for the Super League's determination to retain it's European dimension, in the shape of Paris. While the French have had every assistance to survive, the importance of having a flagship in a heartland area like West Cumbria has been conveniently forgotten." - Dave Hadfield - Independent 25th August 1996.

The Fur (& Feather!) Flyer
Established in 1965, HAWS assists over 6,000 animals and welcomes more than 31,000 human visitors annually. As an "open admissions" shelter we lead the community in animal welfare and assure sanctuary for all animals in need, regardless of age, health or temperament. HAWS is a non-profit, entirely donor-fund organization with an active humane education program, and both wildlife and companion animal rescue services for Waukesha County.
HAWS License #267280-DS
Kids 'N Critters Day Camp has begun!
We LOVE this time of year at HAWS - and I think our shelter residents do, too.
Kids 'N Critters Summer Day Camp is in it's second week already!
This year, because of our facility expansion, we are able to have 2 sessions running at once - allowing more kids to attend and for a greater variety of camp offerings. Camp runs through mid-August, offering 2- and 5-day sessions, for ages 7 up to 14. Each camp involves activites and hands-on animal experiences, learning about our shelter and our adoptable pets...even helping make the animals even more adoptable!
Our specially-themed sessions this year are:
- Camp Gone to the Dogs
- Shutterbug Camp
- Art Camp
- Horseback Riding Camp
Camp is popular - kids come back year after year...and then become counselors when they're too old to be campers! Parents start contacting us already in January to see what our schedule will be for the coming summer, to make sure their kids don't miss out.
The learning at HAWS doesn't take a break for the summer - it just gets better!
By the way - our Mobile Adoption Center is also not taking a break - we have a Dog Wash coming up, along with a cookout and more "dine-out" nights. Join us as we bring our 4 paws to YOUR neighborhood!

Cardiac Pharmacology
Professor Siân Harding, Head of Group
The group is focused on the function of the failing cardiomyocyte, either in acute or chronic heart failure. Cardiomyocytes are isolated from failing human heart, usually from tissue obtained during transplant operations, or from animal models. Contraction of single cells is measured, and their response to drugs and other experimental compounds recorded. Using adenovirus to transfect the cells, we can alter levels of key signalling proteins, such as SERCA2a, phospholamban, the Na+/Ca2+-exchanger, the ß1- and ß2-adrenoceptors, G-proteins and Na+/K+-ATPase. We have been able to normalise the function of myocytes from failing human heart by these methods. One particular interest is the ß-adrenoceptor system, and the mechanism by which β-blockers improve the contraction of the failing heart. We have proposed a new mechanism where stimulus trafficking of the β2-adrenoceptor allows compounds which are normally blockers to activate a protective signalling cascade (Gong, Circulation 2002). We have also hypothesized that the protective β2AR signalling cascade is activated in Stress Cardiomyopathy, a severe but transient heart failure triggered by physical or psychological stress (Lyon, Nat. Clin. Pract. Cardiovasc. Med 2008). Mechanisms for spatial control of β1- and β2AR signalling within the cardiac myocyte are also being studied in collaboration with Dr Julia Gorelik (Science 2010). This work is linked to the Biology of the Failing Heart Theme in the BHF Centre of Research Excellence.
New therapies for the failing heart are also being explored. Genes are introduced in vivo to animal models using adenovirus or AAV and their effect on contraction of the whole heart and of individual cells determined. Our experiments are among those that have led to the identification of SERCA2a as a potential target in the failing heart (del Monte, Circulation 1999). We are leading a Gene Therapy Trial in collaboration with Harefield and Papworth Hospitals to use AAV vectors to restore SERCA2a levels in heart failure patients on ventricular assist device support.
Cell therapy for heart failure is also being explored, and we have examined the interaction between injected immature myocytes and the host myocardium as well as the limited potential of bone marrow cells to produce cardiomyocytes (Sato, Stem Cells Dev 2010). With Dr Nadire Ali we are producing robust cardiomyocyte differentiation from human embryonic stem cells and characterizing the contraction, development, growth and death of the cardiomyocytes from these and induced pluripotent stem cells (Brito-Martins, Br J Pharmacol 2008). Developing high throughput methods to explore the biology of stem cells and stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes is a collaborative venture with Prof Michael Schneider. We are also interested in the potential of these stem cell derived cardiomyocytes as a model system for cardiac disease (Abdul Kadir, J Cell Mol Med 2009) and for cardiac toxicology. We are members of the Stem Cells for Safer Medicines partnership.

Part 2 - Every Journey Begins with a Single Step... or Cancelled Train
Part 3 - Leg 1
Part 4 - Surviving a 100hr Train Journey
Part 5 - Mongolian MX Heaven
Part 6 - Happy New Year
So I'm finally leaving the land of no Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. I have a 32hr train journey to take me to the border area of Nanning, before I (hopefully) catch a bus across the border into Vietnam. It'll be a shame to leave this amazing place but while not exactly a social-media junky, it's just too frustrating not to be able see a single video here, let alone tweet...
So for work, it's a nightmare, but in terms of sight-seeing, it really is an amazing place full of unique and incredible stuff. Obviously this is a motocross site and I know some of you are wondering why you're seeing pictures of the Great Wall but this is all part of my pilgrimage to the Thailand GP and hopefully this is maybe inspiring you to go on a bit of adventure yourself, whether to a motocross race or not.
The 'Birdsnest' Stadium in Beijing would make an amazing Supercross venue
You know you're important when you get a headshot on one of the most photographed buildings on the planet near Tian'anmen Square
Looking at Jingshan Park from the Forbidden City
And this is the view back from Jingshan Park, and a perfect example of how bad the smog problem truly is... and this was a "clear" day
There seemed to be no organised fireworks display for the Chinese New Year, so instead everyone just bought as many as possible and lit them wherever they wanted
Exhibit A
Will we see Robbie Maddison jumping along/over this thing in the future? I hope so...
The Great Wall truly is an amazing place
The Summer Palace usually has boat tours across... but obviously not today with it being completely frozen over
Like I said, I will miss being in Beijing and China in general, with the general excitement of not having a clue as to what food I am eating the majority of the time. At least McDonalds is possibly the cheapest I've found in any country around the world but generally I've tried to eat "Chinese".
Now though, it's time to pack my bags and head to the train station for yet another long-distance train journey. I've finished heading east, so now it's south-west for the first time on a train, which I decided to try out in "hard sleeper" class, aka 3rd class. It's going to be interesting...

Summer student projects: off campusbwillman | June 3, 2011
Many Haverford students are traveling the country (and world) in pursuit of astronomy this summer. I'll introduce the students who are engaging in off-campus activities in this post, and then over the summer they will each in turn say "hi" via this blog and update us with their activities. (In a separate post, I'll introduce my summer research group here and what they're investigating.)
Maya Barlev ('12) – In the Netherlands working with the Universe Awareness (UNAWE) organization, supported by Haverford's CPGC student internship program
Erin Boettcher ('12) – REU program at the American Museum of Natural History studying brown dwarfs and their spectral properties
Emily Cunningham ('12) – REU program at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory studying double quasars
Miriam Fuchs ('13) – At Boston University, supported by Haverford's KINSC student research program, studying low mass stars
Jacob Gilbert ('12) – KNAC REU program at Swarthmore using their 24″ telescope to look for transiting planets in open star clusters
Erica Hopkins ('14) – KNAC REU program at Colgate, I think using their telescope to participate in the long-term monitoring of a quasar
Andrew Sturner ('12) – At the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, supported by Haverford's KINSC student research program, working in their Solar Astrophysics group
Ivan Meehan, one of our astronomy majors, is also doing off campus research in a physics REU program.
Congratulations to all of these students for earning their summer positions. I can't wait to hear what they are up to!

According to an analysis of GED Testing Service (GEDTS) data, four areas of the GED test cause students the most difficulty. Informational materials about these problem areas are posted below. The materials include sample questions from each area and an analysis of common student errors that lead to missing the question. Each area also identifies the skill gaps and specific ideas on how to incorporate those skills into classroom instruction.
The four areas most commonly missed on the GED are:
The materials were provided to KYAE at a GED Mathematics Training Institute sponsored by the Office of Vocational and Adult Education, U.S. Department of Education. The institute, designed to help improve math instruction and scores on the GED mathematics test, presented new techniques and strategies for teaching critical mathematics skills. It was also an opportunity for states to benefit from new knowledge as they develop a plan to train others on these techniques and strategies.
Kentucky was represented by Dr. Sandy Kestner, KYAE professional development senior associate; Linda Sheffield, director of the Kentucky Center for Mathematics; Wayne Couvillion, math instructor and trainer, Jefferson County; and Brenda Hill, Madison County program director and math trainer.

Brian McDermott is using his bitter memories of Reading's relegation from the top flight in 2008 to motivate his team as they fight to stay in the Barclays Premier League this season.
The manager was chief scout at the club five years ago and clearly remembers the agony of seeing Steve Coppell's side slip down to the npower Championship on goal difference.
It has reinforced McDermott's belief that Reading, who are second from bottom, must continue to press for goals during the final weeks of the season, even if they are on the wrong end of a heavy defeat. Reading

Sony PS3 500GB w/ Assassin's Creed III bundle (pending)
Will Ship To: CONUS
I bought a PS3 500GB (the latest super-slim model) w/ Assassin's Creed III as a bundle 2 nights ago for $300+. I bought it b/c I thought I might play some blurays, but it's an awful lot of money for just a bluray/netflix player and after a brief try, I decided I'm not really into the gaming aspect.
I could return it, but they'll probably give me a whole lot of store credit which isn't appealing.
Anyway, it's in virgin condition if someone wants it. Shipping included, but I really, really prefer a Paypal gift payment, I've got more than enough feedback here to back it up.
I've got a used copy of Madden '12 too. $10 extra for that.
Posted on ebay too and I got bidders immediately so it's pending until further notice.

Major online wine seller latest merchant to add PaySecure to its payment options
Atlanta, GA, September 9, 2009 – Acculynk announced today that JJ Buckley Fine Wines, a premier provider of high quality wines, has enabled PaySecureTM on its Ecommerce website. PaySecure allows JJ Buckley customers to pay with their debit card and PIN right at the merchant checkout, adding an extra layer of security and convenience to their online transaction.
"PaySecure makes sense for us because we have a good volume of debit transactions on our website, and this payment method gives our customers another choice of how they use their debit card," said Michael Stajer, CEO and co-founder of WineCommune, the parent company of JJ Buckley. "With PaySecure, we benefit from the lower price point of Internet PIN debit plus we expect it will bring new transactions from customers who prefer to pay with PaySecure."
PaySecure's graphical PIN-pad appears at the merchant checkout when it is determined that a consumer's debit card can be used with a PIN and is in Acculynk's network of participating issuers. Consumers are given the choice to enter their PIN on the PaySecure PIN-pad or run the transaction as signature debit. If they choose to use PaySecure, they enter each digit of their PIN using their mouse, hit "Submit PIN" and receive payment confirmation from the merchant.
"PaySecure provides a seamless payment experience using a debit card that the consumer already has and a PIN only they know – and it brings merchants a pre-enrolled base of consumers ready to shop," said Ashish Bahl, CEO of Acculynk. "JJ Buckley is an incredibly unique merchant with a great value proposition to online shoppers, and we are pleased that out of all of the available alternatives on the market today, they have chosen to offer PaySecure."
PaySecure is the first software-only service in the U.S. that provides consumers the option to pay for online purchases with PIN debit. JJ Buckley is a Top 500 Internet Retailer and joins a growing list of merchants that have adopted PaySecure, including AirTran, ShoppersChoice.com, 2Checkout.com and Ace Hardware Outlet. Acculynk recently released data on consumer usage of PaySecure in a white paper entitled "PaySecure: Tracking to Become a Leading Online Payment Method." The white paper is available for download at http://acculynk.com/.

Bunny Drop
2011 'うさぎドロップ' Directed by Hiroyuki Tanaka
Daikichi learns that his recently deceased grandfather has an illegitimate daughter with an unknown mother. The girl's name is Rin and she is just 6 years old. Everybody in Daikichi's family looks at the girl as an embarrassment and wants no part of her. Daikichi, annoyed by his family's attitude, decides to raise Rin by himself. Even though Daikichi himself has no experience raising a child and is still single. The movie is based on Yumi Unita's popular manga series "Usagi Drop".
Popular reviewsMore
Bunny Drop is a heart-warming mixture of drama and comedy starring the adorable Mana Ashida (the teacher's daughter in Confessions and little Mako in Pacific Rim) and Ken'ichi Matsuyama that was directed by Hiroyuki Tanaka aka Sabu.
Ken'ichi plays Daikichi, a guy in his late twenties who's grandfather recently died. At the funeral the whole family learns for the first time of Rin, the grandfather's six years old daughter played by Mana. Nobody knows who her mother is and nobody wants to take care of the little one. Daikichi's aunt and mother don't want to go through the hassle of raising a child again, his little sister who is a kindergarten teacher doesn't want more work at home after her…
Rin is the cutest kid I have ever seen, it is more than natural to feel moved by her sweetness and beautiful smile. However, the movie is exactly what you expect it to be. There's nothing new in this and, in the end, you should be feeling a little disappointed by the film. You will not hate it because little Rin is the cutest thing ever. I call it false propaganda. No effort towards the plot and story, just hire a cute kid and that's it.
The problem begins first of all with Matsuyama's characterization. He seems at odds with the largely naturalistic vibe that Tanaka seems to be going for. His exaggerated reactions and facial expressions can often turn a scene on its head and suggest an insincerity and self-awareness of how "acted" something is; in other words, you can see the gears turning whenever Matsuyama tries to do something – whether it be talking to himself in the mirror or crying later on, he's too obvious.
Actor/director Hiroyuki Tanaka, better known as Sabu, had a string of popular film society/festival hits back in the late '90s, all of them centered around extended chases and/or a day in someone's life going very, very awry (D.A.N.G.A.N. Runner, Postman Blues, Unlucky Monkey and Monday). He continued working behind camera (and occasionally in front of) at a steady pace on this side of the millennium as well, but seemingly fell out of favor with his international audience. Sabu had been the flavor of the month, and the fickle crowd was hungry for something else.
Lately though, he has begun to step outside of his chase-driven comfort zone. His 2009 adaptation of the proletarian novella Kanikōsen from the '20s was a…
Heart-warming and charming, Bunny Drop manages to emulate a lot of the emotions and feelings brought on by the animated series it's based off of; albeit, to a lesser extent.
Boring adaptation of the anime series of the same name. A lot of the charm and magic just dissapates into pat cliche after the translation to live action.
Recent reviewsMore
This is good. The colours in the movies are soothing.
Just like the anime, it made me blow up in cheers and happy tears of a joyful moment. This kind of movie gives one the hope and strenght to live on through everything.
It's a cute, heart-warming film, but mid-way through it I was already bored. It was too... plain. You can't expect much from a live action movie, anyways.
Alright, I admit it, Rin is even cuter in her real life form. But everything else is better in the anime/manga! :P
No, seriously, given that they had 2 hours, they did remarkably little with it. It's sweet but nothing more.
Now someone tell me where Japan learned about Germany's Wir sind Helden. That was probably the most unexpected Insert Song ever.
Boring adaptation of the anime series of the same name. A lot of the charm and magic just dissapates into pat cliche after the translation to live action.
Sweet live-action version of the related series, but the series is even more sweeter!
A young man adopts a young girl... They both have to overcome their fears and in the end, what truly matters is love.
It's nothing really original, but still well done and a feel-good movie with a few heartwarming moments.
My favorite part: Suddenly a german song from "Wir Sind Helden" starts to play in a japanese movie. I had a good laugh about that! It just feels weird watching a movie in japanese and then you hear a language you know.
This movie is amazing. Really pulled at the heart strings this one. So many feelings...
I fucking love me some Sabu.
Not really in the mood for this sort of movie though maybe. But watching it anyway.
God, these fucking people are horrid.
dawwwwww so sweet.
Why is every fever always such an ordeal in Japanese movies? Srsly, sometimes a fever is dangerous, but usually it's not that big of a deal, but suddenly HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS A FEVER THE WORLD IS ENDING, GET TO A DOCTOR STAT JESUS CHRIST, LOOK AT HER SLEEPING ALL DAY SHE IS GONNA DIE MAYBE. Srsly? Fuck off.
She's done a runner fucking hell.
Oh fucking hell, plz don't let there be bamboo grove rape D:
Oh good D:
This plays much more like a Koreeda movie than a Sabu flick.

Idaho Residents Living Abroad No Vote
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Voters who once lived in Idaho but now reside overseas could soon be barred from casting ballots in local elections. The House State Affairs committee introduced legislation today that keeps former Idahoans who live abroad indefinitely from voting in city council or other municipal elections. Coeur d'Alene Republican Rep. Kathleen Sims says the goal is to prevent voter fraud.
