'Scorza' public art on display at our Wicker Park coffeebar
Intelligentsia was born in Chicago in 1995. It was in the neighborhoods of this city that we grew and built coffeebars. Our success, fueled in Chicago, allowed us to reach other great cities as well. We feel indebted to our hometown and it will always be home. We probably won't build any more shops here, so we wanted to launch this shop by giving something back to the community and the city that believed in us from the start.
Each year, Intelligentsia will commission works from local artists for a 92' x 27' space on the west-facing wall of this building. The inaugural artwork is Scorza, a digital print adapted from a watercolor painting, by Chicago artist Antonia Contro. This will be in place for 12 months, after which time, we'll reveal a new work by another artist.
"Scorza is Italian for bark, or skin. The dual meaning of the word references the literal source material for my painting and alludes to my work becoming a skin of the building. I aimed to create a contrast between the geometry of the building and organic form; between man made and natural. Approaching from the West on Division Street, the viewer will have an almost filmic experience of seeing the piece change form in time, images dissolving and pixelating as one gets nearer."
– Antonia Contro
We can't thank you enough, Chicago.

Pass it, then improve it
Progressives take heed: Killing a health care bill that could save thousands is like stealing food from the mouths of hungry children
By Peter Dreier 01/21/2010
There are many lessons to learn from the health care war that has raged over the past year. We'll get to some of them below. But here's the bottom line: Pass the bill, then improve it.
The health care bill that will emerge from the House-Senate conference committee won't be what most progressives had hoped for, but it is a major, historic turning point in American social reform legislation, comparable to the Social Security Act, the National Labor Relations (Wagner) Act, the Fair Labor Standards (minimum wage/40-hour week) Act, the Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts, the Clean Air Act and other progressive breakthroughs. None of those laws were exactly what their advocates wanted. All involved compromises that, at the time, were heartbreaking to activists. Each one was subsequently improved by amendments, although not without reformers doing battle with reactionary opponents.
It is incredibly irresponsible for some radicals and progressives to call for killing the health care bill. It is important to push for changes that would improve the Senate version of the bill. For example, the House funding plan (a tax on families with incomes over $1 million) is much better than the Senate version (a tax on so-called "Cadillac" health insurance plans). That's what the labor movement, liberal and progressive Democrats in Congress, pro-choice advocates and others will be doing in hopes of putting a better bill on President Obama's desk.
But the idea that we should scrap this bill entirely and start from scratch next year is both immoral and impractical. Like taking food out of the mouths of hungry children, killing this bill will hurt tens of millions of real people who are now suffering physically, psychologically and economically. If we don't pass health care reform now, we won't have another chance for at least a decade.
So pass it, and over the next decade or two fight hard to make it better, in terms of regulating costs, expanding coverage and increasing government-sponsored insurance.
Even the flawed bill passed by the Senate will improve the lives of tens of millions of Americans. Jonathan Cohn and MIT economist Jonathan Gruber researched the Senate's cost estimates, looking at health care cost projections for a family of four at different income levels. For example, a family of four earning $60,458 (250 percent of the federal poverty line) would pay an estimated annual premium of $12,042 and an annual out-of-pocket maximum of $12,600 without the legislation (in total, 41 percent of annual income). If the legislation passes, the comparable numbers are $5,797 and $6,300 respectively (or 20 percent of annual income). Families with lower incomes benefit even more.
After the Senate passed its version of the health care bill, Obama said: "This notion that somehow the health care bill that is emerging should be grudgingly accepted by Democrats as a half a loaf is simply incorrect. This is nine-tenths of a loaf. And for a family out there that right now doesn't have health insurance, it is a great deal. It's a full loaf for a lot of families who have nothing to fall back on if they get into a medical emergency."
We can differ with Obama on the math — I'd say the House bill is three-quarters of a loaf and the Senate bill is two-thirds of a loaf — but he's basically correct about the real human impact. The bill will make life better for most Americans — those who don't have health insurance and those who have inadequate health insurance. Every serious progressive health care expert agrees that the bill is a significant step forward — a stepping stone toward universal health insurance — although they may differ on some particular issues. The health care experts writing recently in The Nation, the American Prospect and even the New Republic share this view.
Here's what J. Lester Feder writes in The Nation:
"Despite these very serious shortcomings, however, the bill the Senate passed would reduce the number of uninsured Americans by 31 million by 2019. The Medicaid program will be open to new ranks of the country's poorest residents, and the near-poor and middle class will get subsidies to buy insurance. The Senate also advanced some important delivery system reforms that could chart a path toward reining in costs.
As disappointed as progressives are with the compromises Democratic leaders made to get this bill through the Senate — and tempting as it is to believe they may have gotten a better deal if they'd pursued a more aggressive strategy — they are on the verge of doing what many other lawmakers have tried and failed to do. And if this effort fails, another generation may pass before another chance will come to try again."
Here's what Jacob Hacker, the policy expert and Yale political scientist who is credited with devising the original "public option" plan, wrote in the New Republic:
"Since the first campaign for publicly guaranteed health insurance in the early twentieth century, opportunities for serious health reform have come only rarely and fleetingly. If this opportunity passes, it will be very long before the chance arrives again. Many Americans will be gravely hurt by the delay. The most progressive president of my generation — the generation that came of age in the anti-government shadow of Ronald Reagan — will be handed a crippling loss. The party he leads will be branded as unable
to govern....
The public option was always a means to an end: real competition for insurers, an alternative for consumers to existing private plans that does not deny needed care or shift risks onto the vulnerable, the ability to provide affordable coverage over time. I thought it was the best means within our political grasp. It lay just beyond that grasp. Yet its demise — in this round — does not diminish the immediate necessity of those larger aims. And even without the public option, the bill that Congress passes and the President signs could move us substantially toward those goals.
As weak as it is in numerous areas, the Senate bill contains three vital reforms. First, it creates a new framework, the "exchange," through which people who lack secure workplace coverage can obtain the same kind of group health insurance that workers in large companies take for granted. Second, it makes available hundreds of billions in federal help to allow people to buy coverage through the exchanges and through an expanded Medicaid program. Third, it places new regulations on private insurers that, if properly enforced, will reduce insurers' ability to discriminate against the sick and to undermine the health security of Americans.
These are signal achievements, and they all would have been politically unthinkable just a few years ago."
Paul Krugman in The New York Times, Ezra Klein in the Washington Post, Paul Starr in the American Prospect and many others echo versions of these same sentiments.
The bill that eventually winds up on Obama's desk won't be what we'd hoped for a year ago. We can expect lots of articles and even some books diagnosing what went wrong and what went right. Some initial thoughts:
Lesson No. 1: We need major campaign finance reform, preferably a mandatory "clean money" public financing plan as an alternative to our current system of legalized bribery.
The biggest obstacle to more progressive reform is our system of campaign finance. The drug companies, insurance companies, the hospital lobby and the American Medical Association have too much political influence because they've spent hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign contributions and lobbying. The Republican Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of the medical industrial complex, as they've shown throughout the battle over health care reform. Unfortunately, a handful of moderate Democrats in both Houses are also in the pockets of the health industry lobby — most obviously Sens. Max Baucus, Ben Nelson, Mary Landrieu, Blanche Lincoln and Kent Conrad. And let's not forget one-time-Democrat-now-Independent-who-acts-like-a-Republican Joe Lieberman, whose vanity, hypocrisy and double-crossing the Democrats should be rewarded by stripping him of his committee chairmanship. All people of conscience around the country should unite in defeating Lieberman when he runs for re-election for his Senate seat from Connecticut in 2012. I've called Lieberman the ""Senator from Aetna" but he's worse than that.
Lesson No. 2: Kill the undemocratic filibuster rule.
Lefties have been too quick to criticize Obama and the Democratic Party for compromising with the moderate Dems and their sponsors, the insurance industry. The truth is that of the 58 Democrats in the Senate, 53 of them (plus Bernie Sanders, the Independent socialist from Vermont) supported the public option, and later even more supported the Medicare buy-in proposal (for people 55-64), as a way to create competition with the insurance industry. In a true democracy, 53 votes (out of 100) should be enough to pass a bill. So the second obstacle to real reform is the filibuster rule, which gave the five-member "Baucus Caucus" (who together represent states with three percent of the country's total population), and then Lieberman, too much influence.
Lesson No. 3: Grassroots organizing saved health care reform from an early death.
Recall, at the end of the summer, pundits were already writing obituaries for major health care reform. Particularly during the August congressional recess, an epidemic of right-wing anger against Obama and his policy agenda — of which health care reform was simply an immediate and convenient target — captivated the media, which reported disruptions at congressional town hall meetings as though they were an accurate reflection of public opinion rather than pep rallies for extremists encouraged by FOX News and talk-show jocks.
The right-wingers stoked fear and confusion by warning that Obama's "socialized medicine" plan would create "death panels," subsidize illegal immigrants, pay for abortions and force people to drop their current insurance. Republican officials — including Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina and Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele — and conservative pundits Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and Betsy McCaughey repeated these myths. And support for the public option tumbled over the summer in response. In June, 62 percent of Americans told Washington Post/ABC pollsters that they favored a public option. By mid-August, support had slipped to 52 percent. Obama's popularly fell too as jobs continued to disappear and the administration's proposals to bail out the banks and the auto industry met with right-wing attacks and public skepticism. The death in August of health care reform stalwart Sen. Ted Kennedy bolstered Baucus' influence as chair of the Senate Finance Committee.
As Marshall Ganz and I wrote in the Washington Post at the end of August, the grassroots momentum from the Obama campaign seemed to be stalled. To the rescue came Health Care for America Now (HCAN), a coalition of unions, community organizations, consumer groups, environmentalists and netroots groups such as MoveOn that began spearheading the reform campaign since the group was launched in July 2008.
In late August, seeing defeat on the horizon, HCAN and other reform activists regrouped. They decided to act more like a grassroots movement and less like an interest group. That meant mobilizing voters, focusing attention on the insurance industry, humanizing the battle by giving insurance company victims an opportunity to tell their stories and using creative tactics to generate media attention. They sponsored rallies and protests, including civil disobedience, in cities around the country. They helped focus public attention on the insurance industry's outrageous profits and executive compensation, its abuse of consumers and its outsized political influence. And they warned Democrats not to get duped by the industry's pledges of cooperation.
Public support for the public option recovered after taking a tumble over the summer. In late October, a Washington Post/ABC poll found that 57 percent favored a public insurance option, while 40 percent opposed it. If a public plan were run by the states and available only to those who lack affordable private options, support for it jumped to 76 percent. Under those circumstances, even a majority of Republicans, 56 percent, favored it. That kind of grassroots pressure helped the liberal Democrats in Congress fight to keep a decent bill alive, even though eventually Lieberman forced the Dems to compromise on the public option and then the Medicare buy-in.
Lesson No. 4: Watchdog the media.
The mainstream media made it very difficult for Obama, the progressive Democrats and health reform advocates. During the past year, the mainstream media gave right-wing activists a megaphone that gave them a much larger voice than they deserved. The ultra-right — including the "tea party" lunatics and reactionary Republicans like Sens. Grassley and DeMint, egged on by Beck, O'Reilly and their FOX News colleagues — got much more attention than they should have. As Todd Gitlin and I noted, the media covered the right-wing protests against health care reform, but barely reported on the protests sponsored by health care reform activists like HCAN.
The mainstream media acted like stenographers, repeating the right wingers' lies about the health care plans, without trying to verify them or put their outrageous statements in context. At the same time, the mainstream media completely shut out the voices of the left wing of the health care debate, the advocates for a single-payer system. With a few exceptions, the media repeated the right wing's lies about Canada's health care system without correcting them, and allowed them to frame the mainstream Democrats' public option plan as "socialism." Trudy Lieberman, the nation's best media critic, has been keeping tabs on the media's misreporting of the health care debate all along. It is worth reading her regular columns and blogs to see how much the media set the public agenda and framed the debate in ways that undermined progressive activists and President Obama.
Lesson No. 5: This isn't just about health care.
Last summer, DeMint said out loud what most Republican members of Congress were thinking and plotting. DeMint called the president's health care proposal "D-Day for freedom in America" and said that stopping Obama's plan for health care overhaul could be the president's "Waterloo," a reference to the site of Napoleon's bitter defeat in 1815.
The right understands this. That's why Beck, Limbaugh, O'Reilly and others in Congress have been so persistent at attacking SEIU, ACORN, Van Jones, and others. They want to destroy the progressive movement and make it more difficult for Obama to be a successful (and two-term) president.

Mary Simon wins News/Enterprise Eclipse
The National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA), Daily Racing Form and the National Turf Writers And Broadcasters (NTWAB) Friday announced that Mary Simon has won the 2012 Media Eclipse Award for Writing in the News/Enterprise category for "Added Obstacle," an examination of the history and current status of the race day medication Furosimide (or Salix), which appeared in Thoroughbred Times on June 9.
This is the second writing Media Eclipse Award for Simon, who grew up in Upland, California, and has resided in Lexington, Kentucky, since 1985. Simon previously won the Media Eclipse for Outstanding Feature Writing in 2000 for Thoroughbred Times.
Simon credits her husband, Mark, former editor of Thoroughbred Times, which ceased publication in September after 27 years, who assigned her the story.
"I am happy to win this for Mark," Simon said. "He is the best editor in the business and I'm so incredibly proud of the great legacy he left with Thoroughbred Times, especially during this past difficult year."
In "Added Obstacles," Simon uses the 25th anniversary of Alysheba's attempt to win the 1987 Belmont Stakes without Lasix -- which was not permitted in New York at that time -- as a starting point for examining the history of exercised induced pulmonary hemorrhaging (more commonly known as "bleeding") and the incorporation of furosimide in US racing. Simon researched equine bleeding back some 500 years and found homemade methods used through the centuries to treat or prevent it.
"This was a soul searching piece for me because I have such mixed feelings about this sport that I love," Simon said. "And the fact that Alysheba's Derby was the first I ever covered made the story all the more interesting to me. I had great fun going back in time and researching the history of medication, legal or otherwise, and how it relates it to modern day.
"In 2012 more than 90 percent of American racehorses routinely compete on Salix, often in conjunction with the anti-inflammatory phenylbutazone. Our last drug-free Kentucky Derby winner was Grindstone 16 springs ago. Dating back to 1997, 143 of 149 Belmont Stakes starters have competed on Salix, or 96 percent. Average annual and lifetime starts per runner continues to decline; in 1960, American runners raced an average of 11.31 times as compared with just 6.11 in 2010. Average career starts nosedived from 44 in 1950 to 13 in 2007. Those numbers hardly endorse the assertion that permissive medication 'keeps horses racing.'"
Honorable Mention in the News/Enterprise category went to Stan Grossfeld for "Photo Finish," about horse rescue, which appeared in the Boston Globe on September 25.
The panel of judges for the News/Enterprise Writing category was comprised of Beverly Smith of the Globe and Mail in Canada; Ed Gray, Thoroughbred journalist; and Ed DeRosa of Brisnet.com.
The Eclipse Awards are named after the great 18th-century racehorse and foundation sire Eclipse, who began racing at age five and was undefeated in 18 starts, including eight walkovers. Eclipse sired the winners of 344 races, including three Epsom Derbies. The Eclipse Awards are bestowed upon horses and individuals whose outstanding achievements in North America have earned them the title of Champion in their respective categories. Those awards are voted by NTRA, Daily Racing Form and the National Turf Writers and Broadcasters (NTWAB). Eclipse Awards also are given to recognize members of the media for outstanding coverage of Thoroughbred racing.
The 42nd Annual Eclipse Awards dinner and ceremony will be held on January 19, 2013, at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida.

This Fashionisto pairs a tribal print baseball cap with his winter ensemble. No longer are boys limited to the typical winter toque or the traditional baseball cap. This Fashionisto teaches us to look outside the boundaries of typical winter wear. His baseball cap shows that a summer accessory can change along with the seasons. The cap adds a pop of colour to the typical black and greys of the winter colour palette. Winter always seems to be the hardest season to dress for. Students at Queens University are constantly looking to keep warm in the freezing weather. Sometimes, due to the cold weather, the only option for dressing seems to be layering and drowning oneself in knits and wools. Layering, if preferred, can be great for the winter, but if boys want another option they can opt for a warm down-coat. Down-coats, parkas, bombers or "puffy" coats are becoming increasingly fashionable. They come in different styles such as military and explorer, or in a simple black style, like the one this Fashionisto wears. This Fashionisto also gives us an example of the utilitarian boot trend. The utilitarian boot is an alternative to real snow boots. What was once worn by construction workers has creeped onto the campus runway to defend one's feet from snow. Utilitarian boots provide a non-slip bottom, warmth in cold weather and, again, incorporates the utility trend. Both Fashionistos and Fashionistas hailing from cold winter climates can try to achieve this look. Similar baseball caps can be found at Urban Outfitters. There are a variety of colours and patterns to enhance one's preferred winter attire. Utilitarian boots can be found at many different retailers. Similar boots to the Fashionisto's are these pairs from Timberland, Sorel and UGG Australia. Some labels that specialize in parkas are Soia and Kyo, Canada Goose, Add Down and Mackage. Hint: The beauty of a baseball cap is that it allows boys to wear it however they choose. It can be worn backwards, to the front or from the side. Whatever a Fashionisto feels expresses his individuality, go for it! Style On®, Lulu Tong from Lulu Be Spot On Dec. 30, 2013 537 0 0 read more

Mercury is a chemical element that is harmful to human health and the environment. Many types of human activities have the potential to create mercury pollution. UNEP is working with governments and other stakeholders to reduce mercury pollution and its negative impacts. UNEP's key activities on mercury are detailed on this page.
The Minamata Convention on Mercury is a legally-binding multilateral environmental agreement that was adopted by governments in 2013. It regulates the use and environmental releases of mercury from sectors such as artisanal mining, coal combustion, and mercury-added products. By ratifying and implementing the Convention, governments can protect citizens' health and the environment. UNEP hosts the Interim Secretariat of the Minamata Convention.
The UNEP Global Mercury Partnership is a multi-stakeholder group of governments, NGOs, industry groups, researchers, and others that work together to take immediate action to reduce mercury pollution. Consisting of eight sector-based areas, the Partnership is dedicated assisting with timely ratification and implementation of the Minamata Convention.
Read the Summary presentation of the Global Mercury Partnership or watch the Overview Prezi
UNEP's Global Mercury Assessments provide authoritative information on anthropogenic sources of mercury emissions to inform policymakers, researchers and the general public.
UNEP's Mercury Inventory Toolkit is intended to assist countries in developing national mercury release inventories. The Toolkit provides a standardized methodology, enabling countries to produce consistent and well-document inventories. Published national mercury release inventories can also be found here

Test Track is an attraction in Future World at Epcot. It soft-opened on December 19, 1998 after long delays and officially opened March 17, 1999. Originally slated to open in May of 1997, Test Track puts guests through the tests that a prototype General Motors automobile would normally go through.On April 15, 2012, Test Track closed for a massive overhaul, reopening in November of that year, with the attraction now sponsored by GM's Chevrolet division. The ride officially re-opened in December 2012. Its original realistic, industrial theme was replaced, instead placing guests in a "SimCar" being tested inside a computerized, digital "SimTrack," with a visual aesthetic that has often been compared to that of Tron: Legacy.
General Motors economy was hitting a slump. Car sales were going down, and they could only afford to sign 1-year contracts with Disney to sponsor their Epcot attraction World of Motion. However, the GM executives lobbied the idea to close World of Motion to receive a rehabilitation into a thrill ride focusing on only cars. The Disney executives liked that idea as well, and on January 2, 1995, World of Motion closed its doors to the public.
The rehab was supposed to take place in a 16-month period. In the new ride, guests would be put through the tests a crash test dummy normally went through. However, the ride was forced to open 19 months late for problems in the technology used to power the ride. The exterior track was supposed to be able to hit 95 mph, but due to Florida's speed limit being 65 and the steep banking of the corners, the top speed was lowered, causing much more testing to occur. There would have also been a section where the car's tires would lose traction, but this ate the tires up, and it had to be removed, causing new construction and more delays.
Finally, on December 19, 1998, Test Track opened to the public on a soft opening, and officially opened on March 17, 1999.
In April 2012, Test Track closed for an overhaul. Sponsorship shifted from General Motors to General Motors' Chevrolet division, and the attraction will only focus on vehicles produced under the Chevy brand.
The ride officially re-opened on December 6, 2012 after receiving its rebrand.
The Ride
The queue features a timed section in which you can design your own car on touch-operated screens. The timing of this section is determined by how busy the attraction is at that time. Riders receive an RFID card shortly before entering the design studio, which has to be scanned shortly before boarding one of the ride's actual sim-cars. The card can then be used after the ride to play games in the "Chevrolet Showroom", which allows you to race your personally designed car against other riders.
After riders board the sim-cars and the seat belts are fastened, the car that they designed will undergo four different tests: capability, efficiency, responsiveness, and power. In the capability test the car first connects toOnStar, then accelerates past a rain/snow projection and skids out of control. Next, the continuing path disappears and the sim-car turns around to speed up again. A short time later, the sim-car makes a sharp left turn as a lighting bolt strikes. The car then passes by a futuristic city. Following the capability test, the results of which car designs scored the best in the test are displayed. The sim-car then begins the efficiency test. In the first part, the sim-cars are scanned for "optimum eco-efficiency". The second test performs an aero-dynamic test on the vehicle. Finally, a "hyper-spectrum imaging" takes place. Again, after the test is complete, the best scores are displayed. The third test, responsiveness, is next. The sim-car accelerates around hairpin turns with laser-projected trees. It then enters a tunnel to encounter the 18-wheeler from the original version though it is now shown with lasers. When the vehicle exits the tunnel, the results for the responsiveness test are displayed and all of the test icons are displayed. The final test is power where the sim-car stops for a moment then accelerates through flashing purple arches to a wall with the ride's logo on it leading to the outside portion of the ride. As the sim-cars speed is increased, it makes a right turn, followed by a wide left, a straight section, and one final long left turn. When the test is complete, the vehicle returns to the loading station where the next riders board.

Victoria Paris Classic Porn Videos
Born in November 1960,
Victoria Paris
was a late entrant to the pornographic world. She grew up in Montana and earned a college degree in nutrition before moving to sunny California in 1987.
At first Victoria lived quietly working as a secretary before she grew bored and needed something more challenging. She found work as a mud wrestler at the Hollywood Tropicana. Likening the experience to that of being in a sorority Victoria thrived in her new activity and after a few months fooling around in the mud she decided to jump further into the exotic world of adult and posed nude for several adult magazines. Her natural 38D breasts were a significant draw for mens magazine pictorials such as Hustler, High Society and Penthouse.
After successfully working as a model Victoria turned to the word of pornographic acting and embarked on a new direction in her flourishing career. She landed several supporting roles opposite such legendary names as Peter North, Jon Dough, Marc Wallace and Tom Byron until 1989 when she took her first starring role in the movie Live In Love In, a parody of the 70's TV show Three's Company. Victoria starred with Robert Bullock and Tamara Lee in the movie which proved to be an instant hit.
In 1990 Victoria won the AVN Best New Starlet award, in a tie with fellow pornstar Tori Welles, who she frequently worked with. 1990 proved to be an incredibly busy year for Victoria with shoot after shoot amounting to a whopping 44 movies released in just one year! Her prolific production continued until 1997 with almost 200 movies to her credit. After being inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame, Victoria decided to travel, touring the United States and feature dancing with Ashlyn Gere as a duo act called 'Top Catz' at the #1 Strip Clubs in the country as well as making personal appearances at local adult video stores.

40 Hour, 24 Hour, 8 Hour Training & Refresher Courses
OSHA has stated in many HAZWOPER interpretation letters that 40 hour and 24 hour sessions require site-specific hands-on learning on the actual PPE that an employee will be using in their job. Site-specific means just that. The training cannot be done with generic PPE, but must be done with the actual equipment in order to fully meet the OSHA regulations. The OSHA training requirements for these HAZWOPER courses are listed below.
A minimum of 24 or 40 hours of offsite instruction.
Site-specific training on the actual PPE. A public seminar with people from different job sites cannot fulfill this requirement.
Either 1 or 3 days of training under the direction of a qualified supervisor.
Medical physical exam conducted by a fully licensed physician. The physical must also include a pulmonary function test of the lungs.
Appropriate annual refresher training must be performed in order to maintain the certification status.
National Environmental Trainers® is a HAZWOPER training company. Our main offerings include: 24 Hour and 40 hour HAZWOPER courses offered online or on site, 8 hour HAZWOPER annual refresher courses online to keep your certification current and an exclusive OSHA accepted Hands-on Training Simulator that provides a realistic presentation about using PPE for each level of protection against hazardous waste or materials.
How Many Levels of HAZWOPER Training does OSHA Enforce?
There are three levels for HAZWOPER training as listed in the OSHA regulations. The first HAZWOPER level pertains to emergency response. The second level is clean-up of contaminated hazardous waste sites, and the last level pertains to the treatment, storage and disposal (TSD) of hazardous waste. Within these 3 categories are various job functions and training requirements.
1. Emergency Response
2. Clean-up of Contaminated Hazardous Waste Sites
3. Treatment, Storage and Disposal (TSD) of Hazardous Waste
Who Are Considered Emergency Responders?
HAZWOPER training requirements for the first responder operations level appear under 29 CFR 1910.120 (q)(6)(ii), which indicates a minimum training duration of 8 hours and outlines topics to be covered (competencies the worker must acquire). Training that is relevant to the required competencies counts toward the 8-hour requirement, even if the training is provided as a separate course. For example, training on PPE that will be used during patient decontamination activities may be applied towards the 8-hour minimum first responder operations level learning requirement, regardless of whether the PPE training is conducted as part of a specific HAZWOPER training course or as part of another training program.
General Site Workers at Contaminated Sites
Without question, this is the largest pool of people requiring HAZWOPER certification. This may change as the contaminated sites are slowly remediated. These contaminated sites are placed on the National Priority List (NPL) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and are scheduled for clean-up. The responsible party as identified in the EPA regulations – usually the site owner or past occupant – must pay for the clean-up costs.
The types of training for the general site worker are as follows: 40 Hour, 24 Hour, 8 Hour Annual Refresher, 8 Hour Site Supervisor, and Incident Command. The standard is performance-based, and the type of training will need to meet the job function. For the training titles listed, the 40 hour course is designed for workers who are exposed to hazardous materials above the OSHA Permissible Exposure Level (PEL). Once work conditions exceed the PEL, respiratory protection is required.
The 24 hour course is designed for workers who have a temporary or short work task at a HAZWOPER site. Usually, these workers are not exposed to hazardous substances or materials above the PEL, and no respiratory protection is required. An 8 hour refresher is required for both the 40 hour and 24 hour designations. Failure to receive the annual refresher can involve the lapse of certification and associated non-compliance status from OSHA.
OSHA HAZWOPER regulations also require that at least one person per work group have the 8 hour supervisor training. The incident commander session is usually reserved for emergency response, but can sometimes be invoked for a HAZWOPER site.
Which Workers at Permitted Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facilities Need Training?
There is a 24 hour training requirement for workers involved in hazardous waste operations, and an associated 8 hour refresher. This work typically consists of managing and handling Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous wastes. EPA has regulations that declare a waste as a hazardous waste.
HAZWOPER/HAZMAT Certification Training Questions and Answers
HAZWOPER training is offered from so many various places. How do I know which training provider is certified by OSHA?
OSHA does not certifiy, endorse, or approve of training providers or training courses. However, they may accept training components as they see fit. Many years ago, a notice in the Federal Register, OSHA proposed a rule whereby OSHA would certify instructors. But it never made it past this point. This section of the regulation (Title 29 CFR 1910.120) is still open and has never been written. In our verbal discussions with the U.S. OSHA Directorate of Enforcement Programs in Washington, D.C., they have no plans on promulgating this rule. So, it appears that companies must rely on the credentials, experience, and references of insructors to adequately train their employees. This is really important and it matters. We have a web page devoted to this discussion - Professional Instructors.
Why is the OSHA 10 and 30 training program authorized by OSHA yet the HAZWOPER program is not?
The OSHA 10 and 30 program is operated by a seperate side of OSHA in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The HAZWOPER program is operated by OSHA Headquaters in Washington, D.C. Many people think that OSHA is one entity and it is for the most part. However, different areas of OSHA enforce different programs. The former is a program that OSHA developed on its own to promote worker safety in general industry and construction industries. In doing so, it was not required to go through the Federal Register to write this program into law. But various states have made the OSHA 10 and 30 training mandatory in their statutes and regulations. Whereas the latter is law and required in all 50 states. The program is either adminstered by U.S. OSHA or an OSHA approved Plan State. A Plan State implements and eforces its own safety programs.
Who is actually qualified or eligible to certify an individual?
The OSHA regulations are a little ambigous in this area. They essentially say that trainers shall be qualified to instruct and train individuals about the subject matter being presented. Our belief is that a qualified trainer is someone who has completed at least a bacculaureate degree from an accredited college or university, have at least 5 years of field experience, and has taken an instructors class such as offered by the U.S. Fire Administration.
Which HAZWOPER or HAZMAT training should I take?
There are many different types of courses which to to choose. You need to make sure you are receiving the correct training for your job. Please follow the link below for more info.
There are a lot of topics and material listed in the regulations that we may never come across or use. Do I have to complete all of the training?
Absolutely! In order to be certified to work with hazardous materials you must be trained to the standard as established by OSHA. There may be some information not applicable to you or your company but you must complete the training topics as required by OSHA. Failure to do so will make your certification invalid. This is something you really do not want to do. There are substantial fines and penalties for failure to comply with these regulations including both civil and criminal. There have been many documented cases of business owners and other individuals going to jail by faking certificates or not adequately training their employees.
The OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 HAZWOPER regulation also references a "non-mandatory" Appendix E section. So, do we have to comply with Appendix E if the regulation is non-mandatory?
The Appendix E section of the OSHA HAZWOPER regulation is listed a non-mandatory. However, these are guidelines that you better use if you want to stay in compliance with OSHA. OSHA provided these guidelines in a generic fashion to aid employers in complying with their standard. We highly recommend that you follow these guidelines. If they were not important, OSHA would not have provided them. These are generic guidelines and they are not presented as a complete training program for any specific employer. But your training program must be as adequate as these guidelines suggest. Appendix E mentions important items such as proficiency assessments, recordkeeping, student to instructor ratios, critical elements of a certificate, training plans, technical knowledge, emergency response, professional competency, etc. So, the answer to your question is yes - you should fully comply with Appendix E of 29 CFR 1910.120.
Uniqueness of the HAZWOPER Certification Regulation
The OSHA HAZWOPER regulation is unique in that it is primarily a performance based standard, contains minimum time requirements for courses, is sometimes competency based, maybe administered at the federal or state level, and covers 3 categories of worker classifications. As many regulations impact both the private and public sectors so does the HAZWOPER standard. But what makes this regulation so unique is that it is a performance based standard. Employers are responsible for adequately training their employees but to what level? Similar jobs in different industries will have different methods of complying with the OSHA regulations. An employer must determine exactly how health and safety regulations appliy to them. Professional emergency responders would obviously have to be trained at a far greater level than an engineer or scientist who is conducting groundwater sampling at a contaminated site.
The employer must conduct a training needs analysis to identify any gaps between regulations and the job an employee is performing. A training needs analysis is critical to ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations and protecting employees. Usually a matrix is prepared to cross-reference the regulations to the job. Once this is accomplished, any gaps for deficient training are noted and employees must receive the appropriate training.
In order to adequately protect human health and the environment from exposure to hazardous waste and contaminants, Congress enacted several regulatory programs to protect the nation's air and water resources, as well as ensure the safety of employees. The one requirement by Congress to OSHA was that certain courses should have minimum time requirements. OSHA promulgated the HAZWOPER regulation with 8, 24 and 40 hour time requirements for different courses. This was to ensure the correct scope and breadth of various topics in the courses. Some of the initial and refresher courses are competency based as well.
For state regulatory agencies that are under the purview of U.S. OSHA, they can administer their own regulatory programs which include HAZWOPER programs. U.S. OSHA approves of the state plan to enforce worker health and safety regulations. These states are commonly know as State Plan States. There are approximately 27 State Plan States with more applying for OSHA approval. An employer must comply with the regulatory agency that has primacy for their respective state. The state regulations must be at least as stringent as the federal standards. Typically, the regulations are almost identical but there are some differences depending on your state. You should be sure to consult with your training provider before taking any training.
HAZWOPER / HAZMAT Training and Certification Sequence
One of the more frequent questions we receive is "what is the sequence for General Site Personnel HAZWOPER training and certification"? The HAZWOPER training sequence for certification varies according to your job function. For general site cleanup professionals, either the 40 hour or 24 hour course is completed first as there are no prerequisites for either of these courses. The primary difference between these two courses centers on the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs). If you are exposed to a hazardous substance(s) at or above the OSHA PEL, then you must complete the 40 hour HAZWOPER course. If your work does not involve meeting or exceeding the OSHA PELs, then you can complete the 24 hour HAZWOPER course. As a general rule of thumb, if you are visiting a contaminated site, performing short work tasks such as surveys or groundwater sampling, or any other type of work activity with little or no expectation of exceeding the OSHA PELs, most people complete the 24 hour course. Individuals who are actively involved in the remediation of a contaminated site must complete the 40 hour HAZWOPER.
For HAZMAT emergency response professionals, there are 5 different job classifications that come under this level. These classification are generally referred to as someone possessing a HAZMAT Certification status. Annual refreshers are required for the 5 classifications. These are competency based re-certification requirements and differ from the General Site Personnel refresher requirements that must meet study time requirements for each course. The First Responder Awareness course is usually the entry course for most people seeking an emergency response certification. As the title of the course suggests, it is an awareness level course and people are limited in response actions taken. The next level is the First Responder Operations course which allows a person to respond defensively to a release of hazardous substances. The next level deals with HAZMAT Technicians and HAZMAT Specialists. These levels are almost identical but the Specialist training focuses more on chemical training and specialty operations such as patching chlorine gas cylinders. Finally, the Incident Commander is responsible for overseeing all HAZMAT emergency response operations. Incident commanders must complete an initial 24 course followed by a competency based annual refresher.
For RCRA TSD professionals, the training and certification sequence is much more straight forward. The entry job classification is the 24 hour HAZWOPER training for TSD facilities followed by an 8 hour annual refresher.

The 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup season has ended.
Brad Keselowski and his No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge team took home the NASCAR Sprint Cup title this year, ending Chevrolet's streak of Sprint Cup titles at seven.
Keselowski earned team owner Roger Penske his first-ever Sprint Cup championship with his feat, and after a remarkable run of 17 top 10 finishes in his last 20 races, the Polish Rocket was hands-down the best driver of 2012.
But before we can put the exclamation point on this NASCAR season--and boy, does it deserve an exclamation point--we have some more hardware to hand out in this year's Bleacher Report "Best of NASCAR" awards.
This year, we have 10 different categories ranging from serious to exciting, fun to outrageous and everything in between.
So sit back, relax, and reminisce about the season that was 2012.

In 1900, the number one cause of death was diarrhea and life expectancy was not 50. If I remember correctly, the #3 cause was heart attacks in 1900 when the diet was more organic, the air was cleaner and one had to walk to the out house. The logic is flawed.
The term "health" for food is not correct. The food is "healthful." Excuse me, I have to have a lunch of hot dogs wrapped in bacon and then I will take a nap.
I worked at a school that had "Channel One." It was news for kids and had all kinds of commercials geared for student audience. This has been going on for MORE than a decade.
Next, lick a toad.
Teenagers were in the box.
Every notice that people talk more to one another electronically than in person? Talk to a stranger on an elevator and look comes across their face like I've invaded their territory or I am a mugger. I guess it is just safer to talk to people you know. That is another reason our kids our fat. Parents want to keep an eye on their children and keep them from going outside to play. How sad. Were there not goofy people when I was a kid? I can't say I ever ran into anyone that wanted to hurt me unless it was a "big kid."
We need guns so the government fears us. Believe me, I'm really scared of what the government is doing now. How do they miss 16-30 milllion undocumented? How could they let the economic situation get so out of control? Why is it that the school children do not learn except to watch the clock? If health care is run twice as well as the schools, do we want it? Why is it that Obama wants charter schools for competition but wants nationalized health care so there is no competition? They make it. They change it and everything remains the same or gets worse. I read that they expect 16 million guns to be sold this year, which is double or more of a few years ago. When they take our guns, only the crooks and the government will have guns. I don't blame Oprah for being fat, I blame her fork. I say now law maker can make a law that does not also cover the law maker.

In hopes of satisfying both loyal Resident Evil fans and more casual 3DS gamers, the game offers familiar characters with arcade style gameplay modes. Gamers will be able to play as Chris and Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, Jack Krauser, Hunk, and Leon Kennedy.
I recently got some hands-on time with the game while at GDC. The game, or rather what we know about the game so far, is a compilation of Mercenaries Modes from Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5. There will be 30 levels in the final build. The point of this mode is to kill as many enemies as possible while racking up points. New to the series is the ability to switch from third-person to first-person.
The level I played was called Village; it was full of Red Monks from Resident Evil 4. The monks weren't overly aggressive, but when I got close, they attacked. I assumed they weren't coming after me all at once to make the demo more accessible. Although, it did take several shots to bring one monk down. The real focal point of this demo was to show off shooting while moving, and, yes, it actually works! Imagine that. You hold down the shoulder buttons to sprint past zombies or opponents, all the while unloading on them. It's a good feeling.
Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D felt like a RE game. I got nervous and began to panic when I ran out of ammo; a familiar feeling whenever I play a Resident Evil game. The controls are fairly simple, and the only real adjustment will come with holding a 3DS. The R button is for aiming, X is to shoot, Y is your action button and B is for an item. Aiming with the circle pad took me a few minutes to get the hang of, but to be fair, those red monks are distracting.
Based on what I saw, The Mercenaries 3D will be a great game to pick and up play as an arcade experience with a series of quick matches. However, it doesn't seem like it will have a story mode that would keep gamers playing for a long time. As a side-note, graphically speaking, The Mercenaries is one of the best looking 3DS games I've seen.

Glorified mercenary mode oh fail.Posted: March 14, 2011 12:12 PM
....but I bet you still can't run and shoot smhPosted: March 13, 2011 10:26 PM
The graphics are great find a demo of it running on the 3ds screen they look awful blown up that muchPosted: March 13, 2011 5:11 PM
please the game is not "scary." Revelations is.Posted: March 13, 2011 12:20 PM
What caught my eye was the fact you ca actually "move and shoot" I hope that this new addition doesn't take too much away from the series, thought I have been wondering for a while what that would be like and how it would effect the over-all awesomeness that has come to be "The Resident Evil series"
I was hoping for slightly better graphics, but so long as what they stuck with doesn't affect the game too much, should be an issue, I hope there are enough goodies in the game to distract from the less polished gampeplay graphicsPosted: March 13, 2011 10:46 AM
It could be good preperation for "Resident Evil: Revelations".Posted: March 13, 2011 9:01 AM
I wonder if there will be any way to compare your scores. I would assume so, that would be the main reason to keep playing it. Geometry Wars with Zombies haha.Posted: March 11, 2011 10:24 PM

2010 Valentino Rossi unveiled in Sepang, Malaysia
The Fiat Yamaha MotoGP Team today unveiled the 2010-spec version of seven-time MotoGP world champion, Valentino Rossi, at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia. Rossi's bike, the 2010 Yamaha YZR-M1 was also displayed alongside the rider.
'On the 16th of February, I will be 31. I will be a little older [but] I always try to be at the top of my shape, improving and trying to adapt to the new bike. You always need to adapt yourself to the new bike, to the new regulation. If you think you are at the top of your performance, it is a big problem! Every season has its own story, it is more and more difficult and you always have to be faster. I will try again, as usual,' said Rossi.
'It is very difficult to say now who will be the hardest rival this year. I think all of them are on the same level, it is difficult to beat any of them. They are very strong riders, they can be fast on every track and condition and through the entire season and they are all capable of winning the championship. The 2010 bikes will make the difference, but I think all three riders [Casey Stoner, Jorge Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa] will be the more difficult to be beaten,' said The Doctor, speaking about his rivals.
'In order to improve the 2010 M1, we have decided to focus on two aspects. Our aim is to develop a more stable bike, with more grip. The second direction, which is the most important, is the engine. We need more horsepower, despite the new rule that limits the number of engines through the season. We need more power and longer life of the engine. This will not be easy for Yamaha, but I know that they have been working very hard on this,' said Rossi, speaking about the 2010 Yamaha MotoGP racebike.
2010 Yamaha YZR-M1: Tech Specs
Engine: Liquid-cooled crossplane crankshaft 800cc inline-four
Power: More than 200bhp
Top speed: Above 320km/h
Gearbox: Six-speed cassette-type, with alternative gear ratios
Chassis: Aluminium twin tube delta box, multi-adjustable steering geometry / wheelbase / ride height, aluminium swingarm
Supension: Ohlins USD forks and Ohlins rear shock, all
adjustable for pre-load, high and low-speed compression and rebound damping
Wheels: Marchesini 16.5-inch
Tyres: Bridgestone, 16.5-inch, available as slick, intermediate, wet and hand-cut
Brakes: Brembo, twin 320mm carbon front discs, two four-piston callipers, single 220mm stainless steel rear disc, twin-piston calliper
Weight: 150kg
Note: The new Jorge Lorenzo, with minor revisions for 2010, was also unveiled at Sepang. Changes may include mildly reduced cockiness and arrogance, and slightly enhanced maturity.

you forgot to mention the 2010 ben spies who's gonna kick the 2010 rossi's arse. lorenzo and stoner may be strong but spies will be in another league. and as for rossi, he should start racing cars, he's too old for bikes now! ;-D
- 05 February, 2010
I'm a big fan of Valentino Rossi but 2010 is going to be his toughest year, no doubt about that. The younger guys are getting closer every year. That said, Rossi will win a few races and will still be in the hunt for top three. BUt the championship, that will go to either Stoner or Lorenzo... :(
- 05 February, 2010
Ladies, why are we forgetting Dani Pedrosa?
- 05 February, 2010
Mark, with talent like Lorenzo and Stoner and Rossi, you still think Ben Spies will kick ass in MotoGP?? :-D Rossi will eat Spies for lunch and spit him out without even thinking twice. Wait and watch.

Waaa... that nice "Semakin Di Depan"
i am from Indonesia and thats the Yamaha slogan in Indonesia.
"Semakin di Depan" = "More in Forward" - [poor translation :(...sorry ] i means the slogan want to say if Yamaha getting better / much more leading/better than others
- 05 February, 2010
I think it is funny how people are always quick to dismiss Rossi and appoint a new champion. Rossi is an icon and capable of beating anyone if provided with at least a close or comparable bike to the others. Having said that, Lorenzo will be the biggest threat to his throne and Spies (as much as I like him) has no chance of even placing in the top five in the final standings..... never ever count Rossi out.
He is not only a great rider, but a much needed presence in our sport with the current crisis we are experiencing.
- 07 February, 2010
Agree with the last comment. NEVER dismiss Rossi, and always remember what he does for the sport that none of the current others can do.
@ Gideon, thanks for the explanation, that Semaking Di Depan has been bugging me. Now I know what it is all about!
- 08 February, 2010
anyone noticed last SEPANG training results..?
R O S S I # 1 (both days..)
and then the others...
and yes..it all comes down who has most points in the end, but the GOAT (greatest of all time) has made a good season start.
a true Rossi fan (obviously)

I am a Danish corporate finance lawyer looking for job in Switzerland, preferably Zurich or Basel. Currently, I work in Denmark at the Financial Stability Company (in Danish: Finansiel Stabilitet A/S), where I am involved with cases relating to the financial and legal problems after the 2008 financial crisis, including take-over of distressed Danish banks. Formerly, I worked as an Attorney-at-law in the M&A department at Plesner law firm, a highly selective law firm in Copenhagen.
The reasons for pursuing an international career in Switzerland are many, however, primarily I find Switzerland with its highly competitive global corporations and impressive conservative approach to business very interesting. Further, at my current stage in life being closer to my Swiss girlfriend is obviously also important to me.
I am particularly looking for a job at (1) a legal department of a bank, (2) an M&A department of an international corporation, or (3) a corporate finance department of a law firm. A job within one of these areas would not only be a fascinating challenge to me but also a logical choice where my strong legal M&A background from Plesner law firm and my corporate finance background (with emphasis on finance) from the Financial Stability Company would be an interesting asset.
As far as communication is concerned, I am fluent in Danish and English, I have a good understanding of German from school days (I am currently taking private lessons in German), and I am conversant in Spanish.

The way we view marriage today differs greatly from the past. Our views and opinions on marriage and its meaning have changed considerably. Marriage is not necessarily less valued, but just viewed differently.
Traditionally, marriage has been looked upon as a primary purpose of founding and maintaining a home and family. Fifty years ago, the majority of women were dependent on their husbands to work and support them. Their role in life was to take care of the children, their husbands and maintain the home. Procreation was part of the traditional marriage. This is quite evident in "Be Fruitful and Multiply". The wife was fully aware that when she got married, her role in life was to bear children, take care of her house and please her husband. Her life was based on procreation and there was a purpose to her marriage.
The modern marriage is based on sexual compatibility, love and romance. If the sex goes bad or the romance dies, than the couple can walk away from that marriage. How do you work out whether you are sexually compatible? Well, of course, you try before you buy! You make sure that you have a sufficient number of sexual partners to work out what you like and what you don't like, so that when Mr. or Ms. Right comes along, you will know he or she is the one for you as soon as you sleep with him or her. Gone are the days when a woman's virginity was saved until the wedding night and sex was something that happened only after marriage.
In "The Moslem Wife", sex played a major role in Jack and Netta's marriage. Because they did not have any children, sex was like recreation. Their marriage was based on love and companionship. Netta was the breadwinner while Jack spent his time winning other women. Even though this is considered a "modern marriage", there was still some tradition to it on the part of Netta. She was the dutiful and obedient wife, cleaning up after her husband, looking the

Services for Trafficking Victims
Each year, nearly 14,500 to 17,500 peoplemostly women and childrenare trafficked into the United States for the purposes of forced labor, forced prostitution, and other forms of modern-day slavery. Most victims are subjected to psychological coercion and physical abuse ranging from verbal threats and abuse to starvation, rape, and torture. In October 2000, Congress passed the Trafficking Victims Protection Act to combat trafficking in persons and to protect victims. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2001, OVC funded the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division to assist victims of severe forms of trafficking by providing emergency services when those services are not available from another source.
In FY 2002, Congress appropriated $10 million to the U.S. Department of Justice to fund a trafficking victim services grant program. OVC developed and began administering the Services for Trafficking Victims Discretionary Grant Program, which made funding available to states, Indian tribes, units of local government, and nonprofit victim service organizations for the development, expansion, and strengthening of services for trafficking victims. The authorizing legislation also provided for research, evaluation, training, and technical assistance.
OVC awarded 12 discretionary grants in February 2003: eight of these grants support comprehensive services to trafficking victims in a specific state or region, including medical treatment, food and shelter, vocational and English-language training, mental health counseling, case management, and legal support; three of the grants support specialized services for trafficking victims in larger multistate areas; and one grant supports training and technical assistance for other grantees. OVC also transferred funds to the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) to evaluate this demonstration program. The NIJ evaluation is focusing on three sites.
In December 2003, Congress continued to support help for trafficking victims by passing the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act. This act further protects victims by
Also in December 2003, OVC released a competitive solicitation for the development and provision of comprehensive services for trafficking victims in unserved and underserved geographic areas. OVC made 10 awards to victim service providers in July 2004.

The head of Valve Software, the game studio that developed titles like Counter Strike, Half-Life and Portal and operates Steam video game distribution system, believes that Windows 8 creates a closed ecosystem on the place of what has always been an open ecosystem, which is a catastrophe. Gabe Newell believes that many PC makers will be forced out of the market due to Windows 8. He now believes that Linux could now pose a real alternative to MS Windows and Apple Mac OS.
"We want to make it as easy as possible for the 2500 games on Steam to run on Linux as well. It is a hedging strategy. I think Windows 8 is a catastrophe for everyone in the PC space. I think we will lose some of the top-tier PC/OEMs, who will exit the market. I think margins will be destroyed for a bunch of people. If that is true, then it will be good to have alternatives to hedge against that eventuality," said Gabe Newell dinner sponsored by Covert & Co., Google Ventures and Perkins Coie.
Microsoft Windows 8 introduces the Windows Store, the store for applications similar to Apple's Mac App Store and iOS AppStore, which promises to significantly impact sales of software for Windows. Although it will still be possible for third-party services like Steam to operate in Windows 8 and end-users will be able to install applications from discs, it is clear that the vast majority of consumers will buy programs from the official Windows Store. As a result, games that people nowadays buy from Valve's Steam, the main source of revenue for the company, will tomorrow be acquired from the Windows Store that will be installed on all Windows 8 PCs by default.
From certain points of view, it may seem that Microsoft is moving Windows into direction of Apple Mac OS (which supports both Steam and allows users to install programs itself) or even Apple iOS (which does not support third-party stores and does not allow end-users to install their own apps). As a result, some consider that Microsoft is shrinking freedom of choice with the introduction of Windows Store, besides, thwarts (or reduces) abilities of PC makers to sell software with their PCs and differentiate.
Linux operating system naturally does not have an official app store, which ensures that Valve's Steam will actually be used. On the other hand, considering that designers of graphics processors do not put as much attention on Linux as they do on Windows, performance of Linux-based PCs in games will likely be lower than that of Windows 8-powered systems.
What is curious is whether Valve Software will actually manage to make Linux a proper gaming platform, something that the OS has never been. In case of Apple, availability of Steam video game distribution system software and optimized Source engine did not make Macs good for gamers or gaming, but only provided an addition revenue stream for Valve.
