Contact Pacific Southwest Waste Program
Pacific Southwest, Region 9
Serving: Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Pacific Islands, Tribal Nations
Solid Waste ProgramsEPA has launched several national programs to increase waste prevention, reuse, and recycling by industry and the public. These programs offer a variety of tools such as: publications, training, software, and some funding.
In addition to our waste prevention efforts, we manage the landfill regulatory program, the framework of which is described in Laws and Regulations, with state-specific details captured in Region 9 State Programs.
Climate Change and Waste
Did you know that reducing waste and recycling can help slow global warming? An overabundance of greenhouse gases (e.g., carbon dioxide, methane, etc.) in the atmosphere raises global temperatures and threatens to disrupt climates vital to diverse ecosystems. Waste prevention, reuse, and recycling can decrease emissions of greenhouse gases by diverting waste from landfills and incinerators. Also, goods made with recycled materials typically require less energy to produce than goods made from virgin materials. This benefits our climate because less greenhouse gases are emitted during manufacturing.
EPA's Climate Change and Waste Web site
Jobs Through Recycling
The goal of the Jobs Through Recycling Program (JTR) program is to build an infrastructure to foster recycling/reuse businesses that increase the use of recyclable or reusable materials and contribute to job creation and economic development. The JTR program brings together the economic development and recycling communities through grants, networking, and information sharing. JTR builds recycling expertise within economic development agencies and places business development tools -- technical assistance, financing, and marketing -- in the hands of recycling professionals.
Pay As You Throw
Pay-As-You-Throw (or unit pricing/variable-rate pricing) is a system where households pay for garbage collection by the amount of trash collected rather than a flat fee. Households save money by throwing away less garbage and recycling. EPA has developed a PAYT toolkit, fact sheets, lessons learned, and success stories to assist more communities in implementing PAYT programs.
WasteWise is a voluntary program set up to help businesses, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations save money by reducing their garbage. Organizations join the program for a three year period and set goals in three areas: waste prevention, recyclables collection, and the purchase or manufacture of recycled products. Join WasteWise and cut your organizations costs and waste by learning about the successful efforts of others in the vast network of WasteWise partners and resources. Joining the program costs nothing. Public recognition is awarded to those companies who are most successful in meeting waste reduction goals.

In a marketing campaign too strange not to be true, the Axe brand of body spray/deodorant/smelly stuff for young men has recruited iconic astronaut Buzz Aldrin to promote their new "Apollo" scent for grooming products. Oh, and they're sending 22 guys from around the world into space too through the Axe Apollo Space Academy. (Maybe.)
>>Disclaimer: This is a product for guys that is running a competition aimed at attracting male consumers (probably in that lucrative 18-25 range). If you are not eligible to sign up, I'm sorry. I didn't make up the rules. I'm probably not either, due to my affiliation with parabolic flight. We will
have to find another way to get to space!
From January 9 through February 3, guys in the US can enter to win a "bonus" ticket to space as a celebration of Axe's decision to spend millions on a SuperBowl ad. (I would make fun of this, but it is promoting SPACE so I won't.) For everyone else in the world: make a profile explaining why you should get to go to space — and then get everyone to vote on you. If you make it into the top tier, you do a country-specific "challenge" to determine a national champ. Continue Reading "Axe to Blast 22 Guys Into Space With New Apollo Scent Campaign" »

On Christmas Day 2004, early in the afternoon, geophysicists at the
Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, realized that a
powerful temblor had occurred just west of the Indonesian island of
Sumatra—one they feared might cause a significant tsunami when
the disturbance reached shore. Unlike the waves that propagate
through the solid earth, tsunamis can take hours to travel between
their source region and some of the faraway places they damage. So,
in principle, early detection and the dissemination of warnings can
save lives. Yet the geophysicists at the Pacific Tsunami Warning
Center found themselves ill-prepared to alert officials in nations
bordering the Indian Ocean. One reason is that the network of tide
gauges and ocean-bottom pressure sensors these geophysicists rely on
is, for the most part, limited to the Pacific, so they did not have
the means to check whether a tsunami had indeed been generated.
Given the huge number of people that perished in this horrific
disaster, it seems fitting that world leaders have called for a
tsunami warning system, presumably one similar to that in the
Pacific, to be set up in the Indian Ocean. But is this really the
best response?
One concern is that such a move does nothing to improve tsunami
readiness in communities bordering the Atlantic, an ocean that is
typically ignored in this context. Big tsunami-generating
earthquakes are most likely to take place in the Pacific, which is
surrounded by subduction zones (places where two tectonic plates
grind together as one plunges downward), or to a lesser extent in
the Indian Ocean, which is bordered by the Sumatran subduction zone
on the east. But, in fact, the Atlantic also has regions where
subduction takes place. One is situated to the east of the Caribbean
Sea, just outside the arc of the Antilles islands. Subduction also
takes place to the east of the South Sandwich Islands, which are
found in the South Atlantic. Although these earthquake-prone zones
are smaller than those bordering the Pacific, neglecting their
potential to cause destructive tsunamis would be
irresponsible—especially given that an even more subtle area
of subduction in the Atlantic produced a devastating tsunami in the
not-so-distant past.
On November 1 of 1755—All Saint's Day—at about 9:30 in
the morning, a powerful earthquake struck in the easternmost
Atlantic. The shaking was felt throughout Europe, with the most
destructive effects focused along the coast of the Iberian Peninsula
and Morocco. Lisbon in particular was hard hit, and many of its
250,000 residents lost their lives. Most perished in the collapse of
buildings. Others succumbed to the fires that immediately broke out.
Some sought refuge from the toppling buildings and growing inferno
along the city's waterfront, only to become victims some 40 minutes
later when the tsunami reached shore. The waves grew about 6 meters
tall in Lisbon and reached a height of more than 15 meters at Cape
San Vicente in southwest Portugal. They ran up to 10 meters or more
when they hit the coast of Morocco.
Casualty estimates vary considerably, but it is generally thought
that the earthquake, fire and tsunami together killed some 60,000
people. This death toll amounted to a substantially greater fraction
of the world's population (then probably about a half a billion)
than did the toll in the recent Indian Ocean calamity. The scale of
this 18th-century disaster and its devastating impact on
Lisbon—then an important center of
Catholicism—engendered much philosophical questioning about
the nature of divine justice. It inspired, for example, Voltaire's
satirical novel Candide, in which the titular protagonist
is constantly asking his tutor, the ever-optimistic Dr. Pangloss,
about how to reconcile the woes of the world with the existence of a
benevolent God.
So the lesson from history is clear enough: Subduction-zone
earthquakes in the Atlantic can also create destructive tsunamis.
Another reason not to exempt the Atlantic from future planning is
that dangerous tsunamis are not all triggered by large
subduction-zone earthquakes. In 1929, for example, a relatively
modest quake triggered an undersea landslide on the continental
slope off Canada. That landslide in turn gave rise to a tsunami,
which killed 29 people. And marine geologists are aware of similar
spots on the other parts of the continental shelf that must have
raised even more havoc in the distant past. In 2000, Neal Driscoll
of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and two colleagues published
a study of the sea floor off the coasts of Virginia and North
Carolina, suggesting that this area of the continental slope may be
subject to failure, something that could conceivably spawn a
devastating tsunami along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.
Is the proper answer, then, to expand the tsunami-warning system now
in place in the Pacific to the whole planet? Perhaps. But this
strategy doesn't make for a complete solution. The problem, as many
commentators have noted, is that registering the threat and
communicating warnings to country officials does not guarantee
appropriate action on the ground. The Indian Ocean disaster provides
an illuminating example: After the quake struck, the geophysicists
in Ewa Beach sent an e-mail warning to authorities in Thailand, who
had given them no other contact information. But the message was
ignored. (Accounts differ: Some say the critical e-mail was never
read; others contend that Thai officials were fearful of
jeopardizing the tourist trade and decided not to issue a warning,
expecting that it would turn out to be a false alarm.) But more
vigilance on the part of civil-defense officials may not be the
answer either. In Japan, where tsunami warnings are effectively
communicated, the citizenry tends to get jaded—in a recent
episode in Hokkaido, only half the people warned to evacuate the
danger zone bothered to leave.
What then must we do? Better education about tsunamis for anyone
living close to the ocean would probably go a long way—even
without any formal warning system. Steven Ward, a geophysicist and
tsunami modeler at the University of California, Santa Cruz, says
that "the first arrivals are not usually all that big." He
further points out that the period of these waves can be 10 or 15
minutes, meaning that after observing unusual changes in the level
of the ocean" you'd have time either to walk to high ground or
climb up a good, strong building."
Expanding on the Pacific warning system would, of course, be helpful
too. But in doing so, planners should pay considerable attention to
the inherently weak link between warning and response. The system
shouldn't allow lackadaisical authorities to veto alarms by whim;
nor should it be set up with such sensitive triggers that
populations eventually become complacent. To fix such problems,
geophysicists and civil-defense planners will probably need to take
heed of psychology as much as technology. In the best of possible
worlds, clever minds could be expected to come up with a system that
always worked flawlessly. But, as Voltaire was so good at pointing
out, ours is far from the best of all possible
worlds.—David Schneider

The Hamilton City Council is facing a $37,500 fine for a toxic spill that resulted in 90,000 litres of sludge being discharged into the Waikato River last year.
The council appeared at the Hamilton District Court yesterday in the latest turn in a long-running saga going back to July last year when partially treated human sewage spilled into the river from the Pukete wastewater treatment plant.
The spill was blamed on staff negligence and an overflow pipe being blocked by rags, hair and other inorganic waste. The sludge took up to two days to flush out into the sea.
The Waikato Regional Council laid charges against the city council in January this year.
Hamilton City Council lawyer Mark Hammond said the council was mindful of passing the bill from one group of taxpayers to another, many of whom paid rates to both entities.

Re: Aphids on my lovely basil - any tips?
�Disease and insect infestations are nothing more than Nature�s way of saying there is a nutrient deficiency in plants, which makes them nutritionally unfit for higher life forms to consume. Billions of dollars are spent every year on chemicals to fight diseases and insects, and consequently billions of dollars are spent on drugs and supplements for consumers of this minerally deficient food. It is indeed a degenerative merry-go-round� - Arden Anderson
I'm also looking for a cure for aphides on basil and came across this forum. I'm a huge Jamie Oliver fan and thought i would share what i know about pests.

Re: Aphids on my lovely basil - any tips?
Without introducing pesticides, try a weak solution of washing-up liquid in water and spray all over the basil plant. It won't harm the plant but will certainly make an impact on the aphids.
Don't know where you are in the world (guessing not the UK) but if it's frost-free in your area, that's fine. If not, be sure to protect the plant during the above procedure until it dries.
Good luck!

Bill to stop health changes in NC passes Senate
RALEIGH - The North Carolina Senate has given its final approval to legislation that would block efforts by state government to carry out portions of the federal health care overhaul related to expanding Medicaid and an online marketplace for health insurance.
Senators voted along party lines Tuesday in favor of the Republican-written legislation that would reject efforts to provide Medicaid to hundreds of thousands of uninsured citizens. It also directs the state to stop working on a health insurance exchange.
The bill now heads to the House, where Speaker Thom Tillis said the chamber would seek to address concerns about the bill from Republican Gov. Pat McCrory. His administration has said the bill's current form could make it hard for the state to pay for a computer program that determines Medicaid eligibility.

Yesterday's black hats or today's white hates
Firstly i wanted to tell you a history about myself.
I started hacking when i had 16 years old and actually i had no idea about hack. i could write some viruses with Visual basic or create some trojans with majic ps or sub7 and infect computers and hack people or bomber their email so i was balck hat in that time.
Then when i became older i realized its better to use my skills in true way to help beginners to avoid hackers and i sarted studying Ethical hacking seriously and now im a white hat hacker. so i created some articles about security to aware people and i created a website too.
So i want to put my idea in vote know is there other hackers who was black hat but he decided to become white hat ? please tell me some history about yourself if you can
thanks alot

It's no secret that America has a weight problem. The latest figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tell us that roughly 28 percent of American adults are obese, and our children are quickly following suit. But sometimes help can come from the most unlikely places, which is what researchers in Japan discovered recently.
Published in this month's European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, results from a 12-week study revealed that probiotics may play a significant role in the battle against obesity. More than 80 participants were chosen based on high body mass index (BMI) and abdominal fat and asked to drink 200g daily of a fermented milk beverage, either with or without a probiotic strain called Lactobacillus gasseri. The outcome was a more than 4% decrease in abdominal and subcutaneous fat in those who received the probiotic, as well as a significant decrease in body weight and waistline.
While more research needs to be done to determine exactly how probiotics support healthy weight management, scientists believe it has something to do with how they affect our metabolism. Of course, we already know these beneficial bacteria play a significant role in better digestion, regularity, immune function and overall health, so don't forget your probiotics!

Sweet Mustard Roast (beef or pork) Slow Cooker Recipe
I made this roast over a month ago, but I'm just now posting it. AGH!
I used a frozen beef roast for the meat, but when I shared the recipe over the phone with a friend, she made it a few days later and loved how it turned out. We really liked the beef version, so this is a double-decker recipe.
or something like that which makes better sense.
I think the baby might be sucking out all my brain cells.
The Ingredients.
serves 4
3 pounds beef or pork roast (mine was still frozen when I put it in)
1/3 cup molasses (this looks so much like melted ear wax to me) (that was kind of gross.) (sorry.)
1/3 cup dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons white vinegar (apple cider vinegar would work well, too)
The Directions.
Use a 4 quart slow cooker. If you have a larger model, that's fine, but you won't need to cook it as long---I'd check after 5 hours on low.
Dump meat into cooker. Top with molasses, dijon, and vinegar. Toss in the garlic powder. Using tongs, flip the meat over a few times to coat it nicely with the sauce. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for about 4.
The meat will be more tender if you cook it on low for a longish time.
The Verdict.
I served this meat the night we got our Christmas tree. I have video of the kids eating the meat and making yummy noises while we were trying to untangle the lights. It was a fun night, and the meal was successful. I served mashed potatoes and green beans for sides, and they were a nice compliment.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Fritsch_the_cat, Nov 20, 2012.
Can we be happy about this? "Cause I'm not sure anymore.
The last 2 wins have kept the Cowboys in the playoff race that's something to be happy about. With the issues this team has let's just be glad they're still in the hunt. Two years ago at this time the Cowboys were done at 3-7 playing out the schedule. Things aren't good right now but it could be a lot worse.
Yes we can just don't look at who we beat because it might bring you right back down.
there is no happiness around here. I won the lottery saturday night but i thought about how i was going to have to pay all those taxes and tossed the ticket in the trash.
I am happy about it.
Makes my Monday mornings much more sober and not so hurting.
24 hour rule.
Forget our record, forget any 2 game win streak.
Find a way, .. any way, to win Thursday.
As long as you can keep yourself in the race you have a chance to get things turned around. I saw teams like Philly last season who were playing some of the best football in the league late in the year but were already out of the race. Right now Dallas is in the race and there is still an oppertunity to play to their potential. Cowboys have shown they are capable of playing very good football they just need to bring it for 4 qrts
I would not rain on anyone else's parade.
For the fans who are happy, I am honestly happy for them.
But I'm not seeing the good that they are.
And I believe that this win streak is short lived and Friday will bring a much different mindset.
Sorry to be a 'downer', but that's honestly what I think.
I don't pretend to know what will happen. I do know as bad as we can look at time this team also can look very good. They have 6 games remaining and if they can start putting 4 qrts together then they have a real shot to get into the post season. If they continue to play from behind it will be very hard to make it.
I'm happy considering how we have played that we are still in the hunt beyond that I just don't know what will happen with this team.
I very much agree with you and that's whay I'm as frustrated as I am. I have seen this team play so much better at times than what we sometimes get. If they ever put it together, they can play with anybody. But 11 weeks into the season and we still can't get any measure of consistancy.
I'm also happy that they still have something to play for.
I agree. I would say last year's champs where in the same boat last season. I don't assume Dallas will make that type of run or not, I don't know. I don't rely on past season to tell me what will happen this season.
Right now Cowboys put themselves in a spot where they have a chance. We will find out what they do with that chance.
We won two in a row? It feels like we've been on a losing streak.
Other than wanting to share that you are anticipating a loss I dont understand your post. I assume that almost every fan us fully aware of all the short comings and misfortune of this team. Being fully aware of these issues and still having a realistic shot at the post season is reason enough for me to be happy.
It would be awesome if we were 10-0 throwing shut outs and racking up yardage records would obviously be preferred, but 5-5 will do.
This team really hasnt shown any signs that it can sustain quality football for a whole game but the fact that it has shown that it can play with any team in the league when executing properly gives me hope.
The Browns and Eagles arent exactly powerhouses but the Skins sure arent either. In fact most of the remaining schedule is against less than elite teams. I cheer for the Boys to continue to make positive strides while taking full advantage of the weak schedule. Beating the odds will make the season more enjoyable.
Wallowing in the gloom and turning a blind eye to the positives would make for a miserable year. Being a realist and being a fan are two different things.
We beat a team that has quit on the season, and were life and death to beat a 2-8 team, lets not start up the parade just yet.
I cannot even read that.
And I'm not trying to ruin that for you. Just expressing my own opinion on the subject.
As I said, nothing wrong with folks being positive or optimistic.
For some people maybe.
I don;t consider them as mutually exclusive.
My fandom does not force me to overlook this team's many warts.
I could never overlook all the gaping holes in this team either. Perhaps this is why I feel good about our position to make a move toward the post season. You are damn sure allowed to have you own feelings about this situation.
Perhaps Thursday youll see something that will change your stance and youll have atleast a bit more optimism moving forward.
I dont know about you but a one sided beat down of the Redskins would work wonders for my confidence.
I sure hope so!
Believe me I've been looking!
My frustration has reached the point of apathy.
I was so unhappy 'riding the roller-coaster' that I have essentially 'checked-out' and simply watch the games, arms crossed taking whatever comes my way.
Helps my sanity.

Former Butte justice of the peace pleads guilty to drug charges
BUTTE, Mont. - A former Butte-Silver Bow justice of the peace has pleaded guilty to "doctor shopping" for prescription pain medication.
The Montana Standard reports 67-year-old Robert Lee pleaded guilty to two counts of fraudulently obtaining dangerous drugs during a hearing before District Court Judge Ray Dayton in Anaconda on Wednesday.
Lee was charged in January with 34 counts of obtaining dangerous drugs by seeing doctors in Anaconda, Whitehall and Butte to get prescriptions for methadone. The plea agreement settles the charges in both Deer Lodge and Jefferson counties.
The drug charges were filed just after Lee received a deferred sentence for negligent endangerment for driving under the influence of methadone.
Under Wednesday's plea agreement, the prosecution plans to recommend a three-year deferred sentence.
Lee and his attorney declined comment after the hearing.

text: A Defining Moment For Synthetics By Katherine Bui published October 1999 Lubricants World While the field is not wide open, a new ruling confirms that the definition of "synthetic" is still largely in the hands of marketers. Part 1 of 2 Synthetic. The word has become almost a proscription in the industry, especially among scientific and technical organizations, such as the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the American Petroleum Institute (API). Ask a marketer of motor oil products formulated with hydroprocessed mineral oils, and you might get a definition that involves cost-efficiencies and consumer choices. Ask an engineer involved in manufacturing polyalphaolefins (PAOs) or esters, and composition might be the determining factor. Despite the intense debate over the origins of synthetics, an absolute definition has remained in limbo for many years, with much of the responsibility placed on base oil manufacturers and lubricant marketers. It was only recently, in a decision by the National Advertising Division (NAD) of the Council of Better Business Bureaus, that the first basic action and ruling in the United States set a strong precedence for a broader description in the marketing of synthetics. In this first installment of a two-part story, Lubricants World takes a look at the NAD's ruling and explores the revived debate surrounding the definition of "synthetic." The Ruling In a ruling released April 1999, the NAD addressed complaints filed by Mobil Oil Corp. regarding the truthfulness of Castrol North America Inc.'s claim that its Syntec® provides "superior engine protection" to all other motor oils, both synthetic and conventional, and that Syntec's esters provide "unique molecular bonding." Mobil charged that the advertisements inaccurately represented that the current formulation of Syntec is synthetic. The challenge was filed based on statements Castrol made in a series of television commercials, Web site publications, package labels, and brochures. The NAD divided its decision to address three issues raised in the complaint. Is the reformulated Syntec synthetic motor oil? Has Castrol substantiated its superiority claims? Has Syntec been degraded? Synthetic? The NAD determined that the evidence presented by the advertiser constitutes a reasonable basis for the claim that Castrol Syntec, as currently formulated, is a synthetic motor oil. NAD noted that Mobil markets hydroisomerized basestocks as synthetic in Europe and elsewhere. NAD noted that the action taken by the SAE to delete any reference to "synthetic" in its description of basestocks in section J354 and API's consequent removal of any mention of "synthetic" in API1509 were decisions by the industry not to restrict use of the term "synthetic" to the definition now proffered by Mobil. Further, the SAE Automotive Lubricants Reference Book, an extensively peer-reviewed publication, states base oils made through the processes used to create Shell's hydroisomerized basestock, severe cracking, and reforming processes may be marketed as "synthetic." Superior? Despite its prior ruling, the NAD advised that Syntec could not advertise a superior protection claim. Degraded? The NAD determined that though Mobil presented clear evidence that Castrol has made a major change to Syntec's formulation, it was not sufficient to demonstrate that Syntec has been "degraded." Industry Reaction In a statement to Lubricants World, Castrol's legal counsel said, "The NAD's decision was clearly correct. In accepting Castrol's position on the appropriate definition of synthetic basestock and concluding that Castrol Syntec is a fully synthetic oil, the NAD accepted the overwhelming evidence Castrol presented, which included the opinions of leading scientists . . .and statements from Shell, Exxon, and other industry sources. The NAD also relied on the SAE's rejection of a restrictive definition of the type advanced by Mobil. In fact, although it had the right to do so, Mobil did not attempt to appeal the NADS's decision." Mark Sztenderowicz, a senior research engineer from Chevron Products Co.'s Base Oil Technology Team, stated his company agreed with the NAD's decision. "We feel strongly," he said, "that 'synthetic' is a fairly broad term and a number of basestocks besides PAOs fit the description. To the extent that the NAD came to a similar conclusion and was unwilling to limit 'synthetic' to a narrow definition, we agree. We further agree with what we consider to be a commonsense interpretation that consumers perceive the word 'synthetic' to mean something man-made, but not made necessarily from a particular compound or component."

Lauren Stover is the Assistant Aviation Director in charge of Public Safety and Security for Miami International Airport (MIA) and Miami-Dade County's system of airports.
Stover is the first woman in the history of Miami International Airport (MIA) to direct the airport's day-to-day Security, Police and Fire Rescue operations for the Department. She was recognized by United States Attorney Wilfredo F. Ferrer of the Southern District of Florida in receiving the Outstanding Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Award for 2010 – 2011 joining other distinguished federal, state and local law enforcement officers, a distinction never before given to Miami International Airport's Security Director.
Stover, a 31-year veteran of Miami-Dade County government, was recruited in 2003 by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from Miami International Airport (MIA) where she was the Associate Director for Public Affairs for nearly a decade.
DHS tasked Stover with building the first comprehensive public affairs operation within the TSA for the southeastern United States and named her chief media spokesperson for more than 60 airports. On March 1, 2003 when the Department of Homeland Security commenced operations, Stover was appointed to coordinate Public Affairs for all DHS components in the southeastern United States. In 2003 she received the Gold Medal Award from the TSA for her performance, and in 2004 she received a Unified Best Practices Award from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. In 2004, Stover was promoted to Eastern Field Director for TSA's Office of Strategic Communications, overseeing security-related public outreach programs for more than 200 airports in 20 states.
During her tenure at the TSA, Stover was at the helm of numerous sensitive news stories that negatively affected both the Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration. She conducted in-depth interviews with every major news organizations in the U.S. and globally on matters of national security.
Stover was also hand-picked by the Department to stand up a Joint Information Center (JIC) in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina under the former Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen, who was the federal official to lead hurricane recovery efforts in 2005.
Stover's knowledge of civil aviation security and incident management extends well beyond the aviation sector, having been the first Public Affairs Director in the Department of Homeland Security to test a key role in the National Response Plan during the largest weapons of mass destruction exercise in U.S. history.
Stover works with virtually all key law enforcement agencies, local, state and federal, on Homeland and Aviation security events and issues, and is well known in the Aviation community as a leader in crisis management.
She is also recognized for launching the Behavior Pattern Recognition program for MIA employees in 2006 making MIA the first airport in the United States to mandate the training to all airport workers. Due to Stover's efforts, more than 70,000 employees have received the training with her earning a National Association of Counties award for the Aviation Department.
Stover also represented U.S. airports testifying before the House Homeland Security Subcommittee in April 2007 on the issue of screening airport workers and was one of six women in 2007 to receive an International Women's Day Award from World Trade Center Miami. She was also featured in a worldwide National Geographic documentary, "Inside MIA", in her role as MIA's Security Director as well as Travel Channel's "Airport 24/7: Miami" which has been seen by over 15 million viewers. She was named by South Florida Business Leader as one of South Florida's top leaders earning her the 2011 Women Extraordinaire Award. Stover also serves on the Executive Board of the Southeast Regional Domestic Security Task Force as the aviation security representative covering Monroe, Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.

How to be a smarter job seeker
By Working Girl on Mar 20, 2013 in Job Search
When looking for a job you often need to come up with more creative and smarter ways to stand out from the competition. So what is it that some job seekers do that they often seem to find a new job faster than others? Often, it is one of these 10 things that make your job search smarter:
1. Surf job boards for more than just open positions.
Job boards can be "goldmines" for research. You might see companies you didn't know before and you might see the same requirements for the job you want over and over again — this indicates a standard, so incorporate these items into your pitch and cover letters.
2. Realise a potential job lead could be anywhere.
Smart job seekers aren't afraid to mention occupational aspirations to their book club, their parents' friends or their dentist. (One never knows whose golf partner might be the ticket to getting a foot in the door.) Also, when sending e-mails you can easily attach your CV to every correspondence by adding a link to your LinkedIn public profile in your e-mail signature. Even friends who think they know you may click through to your profile, learn more about you and perhaps think of you for a job that they know of.
3. Put adequate time and effort into your applications.
Spend time to make your CV the best possible written advertisement of you. Analyse the job requirements against your own skills and abilities, and always customise your cover letter for each application. All correspondence should be free of errors and typos. And before sending off the application packet, look at the job posting one last time to ensure all desired material is included.
4. Make your value known quickly.
An employer gives each CV about a three-second window of time before he decides to either 'delete' or read further. A smart applicant answers the "What can you do for me?" question right off the bat with a summary of strongest accomplishments at the top of the CV.
5. Do your homework.
It seems logical to smart applicants to know something about potential employers. From searching a company to checking out its financial statements, they learn what they can — and use the info to enhance their correspondence.
6. Know that employers do their homework, too.
"According to [a 2010] Coremetrics [study], 75 percent of companies require recruiters to research job applicants online, so you'll want to be sure you know what they'll find," states Sherrie Madia, co-author of "The Online Job Search Survival Guide." Besides thinking twice about what you choose to post, she suggests doing an online search on your name. If you find something undesirable, try to have it removed.
7. Look and act like a professional.
Simple but effective: A smart applicant arrives on time, dresses appropriately, both talks and listens, displays confidence and minds his manners.
8. Show that you want this job.
Smart job seekers are not "tyre kickers." They focus on the needs of the employer and demonstrate how they are perfect for this particular position. Show enthusiasm during the job interview and always make certain that the company you're interviewing with feels as if it is your first choice, no matter what other companies are involved in your job search.
9. Don't get ahead of yourself.
As much as you may be dying to know about promotions, raises and vacation time, being a smart candidate you don't jump the gun and tackle these issues during the first interview. Rather focus on landing the position, then on whether the package is suitable.
10. Show your interest in the job, follow up and thank.
At the end of the interview, sum up your strengths, tell the interviewer that you are excited about the position and say, 'I would really like to contribute to this company. I am hoping you will select me.' Then, a smart interviewee keeps his name in the game with a follow-up note reiterating interest and offering thanks. A great last impression can seal the deal!

Posted: March 25, 2011 in ACE Press Releases
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (March 23, 2011)—The American Council on Exercise, America's leading authority on fitness and the largest nonprofit fitness certification, education and training organization in the world, today announced results of an exclusive, peer-reviewed study that found the Power® Balance bracelet did not improve flexibility, balance, strength or power in a series of randomized, double-blind tests. The Council commissioned the exercise and health program team at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, led by John Porcari, Ph.D., to determine whether this bracelet enhances and improves athletic performance.
"As the popularity of the Power Balance bracelet has grown, from everyday consumers and gym-goers to high-profile, professional athletes, we recognized that the efficacy of this jewelry should be empirically evaluated," says ACE's Chief Science Officer, Cedric X. Bryant, Ph.D. "We ultimately found that the bands had no impact on performance outcomes. Moreover, the significant difference between the first and second time that participants performed tests is likely attributed to participants anticipating the specific test activities the second time around as well as becoming somewhat warmed up, not the bracelet itself."
The study evaluated 42 college-aged NCAA Division III athletes who were asked to perform two trials of the following four tests, without warm up: trunk flexibility, balance, strength and the vertical jump. Subjects were tested in the same order, but half wore the placebo bracelet in the first trial round, switching to the Power Balance in the second round; the other half first donned the Power Balance bracelet and used the placebo bracelet in the second round. Neither the participants nor the examiners knew which bracelet was used in which trial phase due to the randomized and double-blind exam protocol. In the end, none of the tests demonstrated a significant difference between using the Power Balance bracelet versus using the placebo. The only consistent finding was that the subjects always did better during the second trial, whether they were wearing the Power Balance bracelet or the placebo bracelet.
The first three tests, designed to measure flexibility, balance and strength, were modeled after tests featured on the Power Balance website while the fourth, the vertical test, was added to test the power of the lower body. For the flexibility test, subjects had a stick placed on the back of the neck, across their shoulders, and were asked to rotate as far clockwise as they could with feet placed together; rotation was measured in degrees with a calibrated grid. In the balance test, students stood with feet together, arms extended, and were asked to lift their right foot approximately 15 cm off the ground. Once the subject was in this position, the examiner used a device for measuring force output to push straight down on the right arm as it was extended above ground; the amount of force (kg) required to break the subject's balance or form was recorded. The strength test asked participants to stand with feet together and arms at side. Examiners then placed the same measurement tool used during the balance test in the palm of each participant's cupped right hand, and the level of force required by the examiner to push down on this tool and cause the subject to either move his or her feet or break form was recorded. Finally, participants were asked to vertically jump as high as they could from a standing position; their maximal jump height was measured in centimeters. Each test was performed for two trial rounds, with half of the participants in the placebo group for the first round and the other half in the test group.
The most notable improvement was in trunk flexibility across the first and second trial, regardless of whether subjects wore the Power Balance or placebo bracelets. The 9.1 degree increase in flexibility, from an average of 114.2 degree rotation in the first trial to an average of 123.3 degree rotation in the second trial, can likely be attributed to the participants being warmed-up for the second trial. Since practice trials were not provided for any tests, including the balance and strength tests that required an average of 16 percent increase in force and 7 percent more force, respectively, from trial one to trial two, subjects anecdotally replied that they "knew what was coming" in the second trial and therefore compensated by readying their bodies for the tests. Finally, the vertical test improvements, approximately 3 percent, from trial one to trial two were attributed to the subjects being warmed-up for the second trial, further demonstrating that improvement across tests could be attributed to warm-up or habituation to the task.
"The study was designed to test the validity of the claims that wearing Power Balance bracelets with their embedded holograms restore optimal energy balance in the body to improve a person's strength, balance and flexibility," Bryant adds. "The bottom line is that after all the data was analyzed, there clearly was no evidence to support the notion that wearing a Power Balance bracelet improves physical performance."

Smart Grids
Welcome to MeRegio!
You will not forget this mouse click so soon because you have now entered new territory. You are about to go on an amazing journey because from today you can join us in creating a completely new energy future.
…with you we want to live the dream of the Minimum Emission Region (MeRegio) – of the region in which the CO2 emissions are reduced to a minimum and ENERGY EFFICIENCY is of vital importance. By doing so we will protect our environment and take on responsibility for future generations.
But how?
By building up the infrastructure for smart grids with our partners but also with the curiosity, commitment and flexibility of our test customers. It will be very important to rethink: we will certainly have to do away with old ideas to enable new ideas to result.
But that will not be a problem for people participating in MeRegio. They will, of course, already be used to changing their angle of vision and sometimes even completely upturning their ideas.

Many surgeons order routine laboratory tests before admission to the hospital, or even before certain outpatient procedures, to identify potential problems that might complicate surgery if not detected and treated early. According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), some of the most common tests performed before surgery (and possible reasons/symptoms for which they are performed) are included in the following list:
Chest x-rays - a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film; may be used to help diagnose causes of shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, fever of unknown origin, and other abnormal heart, respiratory, and lung sounds.
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) - a test that records the electrical activity of the heart, shows abnormal rhythms (arrhythmias or dysrhythmias), detects heart muscle damage, and helps determine the cause of chest pain, heart palpitations, and heart murmurs.
Urinalysis - may be used to diagnose kidney and bladder infections, and diabetes. Specific types of urinalysis can also detect drugs present in the body.
White blood count - may be used to diagnose fever of unknown origin, infection, and use of drugs known to affect white blood counts.
The following tests, used on blood and urine specimens, measure certain substances and electrolytes in the body which should be normalized as much as possible before surgery:
If you have questions or concerns about any of the tests ordered by your physician, and the importance of having them, be sure to address them before having surgery.

They defeated Frontier Oakdale 16's — 25-16, 25-13, 13-15 — and won the championship match against Highland Impact 16's (South St. Paul Area) in two games: 25-23 and 25-18.

Since NVC came to the UK market in the spring of 2009 we have enjoyed consistent, strong growth. This is thanks to the support that you, our customers have given us, so we are repaying that support in two important ways.
First, we know how much our customers value quick service, so we have doubled the size of our premises to 91,000ft2. We can now hold more stock and, for those customers for whom tomorrow isn't quick enough, we can now offer an improved collections facility.
Second, we are continuing to expand our product range, as you will see from this catalogue. In some areas we have deepened the range of existing products, offering more options and accessories. In other areas we have added complete new products and product categories, such as modular wiring.
However, the biggest single change is the increasing range of LED products, for which we now have a dedicated catalogue section.
Finally, we want you to know that we are proud of what we do and how we do it. Our new premises have extensive meeting facilities and these are available for you to use for meetings, seminars or training sessions. We invite you to make use of them, and get to know us better at the same time.
We look forward to seeing you soon.

CowPots' #4 Square containers are the ultimate earth-friendly seed starter pots. These "pots you plant" are made with biodegradable, 100-percent renewable composted cow manure. CowPots are suitable in a greenhouse environment for up to 12 weeks. Once planted, CowPots quickly biodegrade, giving your plants the benefits of manure while virtually eliminating transplant shock.
These pots also fit standard plastic carrier, have a porous wall that allows unrestricted root growth and are great for step-up transplants for vegetables and annuals. The manufacturing process removes all of the weeds, pathogens and odor from the manure. This leaves the natural fiber and goodness of manure for a perfectly plantable pot.
Flat Tire Décor features innovative products created from recycled tires. The Newport is Flat Tire's largest and most versatile basket. Due to the uniqueness of the tires and the manufacturing process, each product has its own distinct character, texture, and story. No two products will ever be identical. All products are made in Milwaukee using two organizations for assembly. Both are job skills workshops that give valuable training. This leads to a greater sense of self-esteem and improves the function and quality of life for persons with disabilities. Flat Tire Décor employees are proud of the products and the people that make them.
McConkey Co. introduces rEarth, a new line of 100-percent-recycled plant containers made from water bottles (rPET). rEarth containers are sturdy, tear-resistant and comparable or superior to other plastics in strength, performance and price. Each is stamped with a Recycled Water Bottles stamp, so consumers know the container is rEarth recycled and recyclable.
McConkey is on track to recycle 72 million water bottles a year at its Garden Grove, Calif., manufacturing plant. It takes about one 16.9-ounce water bottle to make one rEarth 4.3-inch round pot. That's in contrast to traditional containers that must be brought back to retailers for recycling, if they can be recycled at all.
OMNI Solutions' Aero NT is stabilized media for propagation of unrooted liners. This soil-based plug bonded from a premium blend of white and cocoa peat moss and perlite comes in 50-cell, 102 and 72 solid and 104 propagation strip. Pre-drilled plug-holes allow easy sticking and ensure good stem-soil contact, encouraging callous and quick rooting. Aero NT is available with up to three plug-holes, providing a high degree of flexibility.
The Plant Pie method, created by Alan Van Wingerden, the owner of OVW Greenhouses, is a patented way of growing plants in a round shallow tray. Customers have reported that the Plant Pie produces top-quality, thriving flowers and plants because of how the roots develop. Simply use top-quality soil and follow the easy directions, and the Plant Pie root system spreads laterally, maximizing the amount of soil within its shallow, 3-inch, ribbed tray.
New to the Landmark Plastic line of top-quality thermoform pots for 2012 is the 7.50-inch Thermoformed Pot. In addition to the high-gloss sidewall and strong rolled lip prominent in the line, it incorporates an industry-unique drainage template. Options to run the pot with maximum drainage or just "high overflow" make it flexible for any growing environment.
To complement the new pot, Landmark added a new Three-count Transport Tray in high-impact polypropylene. The tray is ideal for flat filling and
shipping, and it has obvious handling advantages. This size container is perfect for geraniums, mums and poinsettias.
Myers Industries Lawn & Garden Group
The new 03.50 Round Coex Pot and 12 Count Tray boast a strong, durable rim design that allows for effective use in automation systems. Specially adapted for automatic filling equipment and handling by mass merchandisers, the containers can also be used in combination with trays to assist in handling and labor savings. Dual drain bottoms increase soil drainage and aeration.
Both products are made from tough, durable polypropylene. The low side on the tray allows the customer to display any custom color or labels on the container.
The Clip-on Nylon Hanger design is faster and easier to use than the current barbed hanger and eyelet system for hanging baskets. To install, press the clip over the rolled rim of any of Western Pulp's 10 and 12 baskets and the tension clip does the rest. The hanger eliminates the need for baskets with eyelets and saves time, saves labor and saves money.
The new 12X5RD Ready-to-plant container features nine additional 1-inch diameter holes in the bottom. This container is ideal as a drop-in liner for decorative planters and to add instant spots of color that root into a flower bed through the bottom holes. At the end of the season, the made-from-recycled-paper molded fiber container can easily be composted or rototilled into the flower bed.
Summit Plastics' ' "Locked in Garden" Clear Three Ring gives the grower/retailer the ability to market three printed/branded round quart pots together as one sales transaction at point of sale. Clear, curbside recycled PET resin allows your marketing message to be viewed "clearly." This product fits Janor 12cm H quart pots.

In the run-up to Congressional candidate Anthony Gemma's highly anticipated press conference this week, unveiling allegations of voter fraud by incumbent Congressman David Cicilline, the chattering class — this observer included — was pretty much unanimous: Gemma had to deliver the goods or he was finished.
But as I write, just minutes after the event — and just minutes before the Phoenix's deadline — something more complicated, and more interesting, is taking shape: a remarkable case study in Rhode Island's strange relationship with the truth.
Gemma arrived at the event, staged at his Providence offices on Broad Street, with a reputation for the grandiose. In April, he'd teased the official launch of his campaign with the promise of "a major announcement" that would "positively impact the political, economic, and cultural fates of Rhode Island and, by extension, the United States of America for the foreseeable future."
After said announcement, a gaggle of reporters eager to quiz him on the imminent Renaissance was rebuffed — Gemma fleeing to his SUV, while his supporters gobbled up a tower of brightly colored cupcakes.
The press corps, since then, has rolled its eyes more than once at the businessman-turned-Democratic candidate. And when he suggested that this week's event would have "an immediate, stunning, game-changing impact on Rhode Island politics," it was almost too much.
The press conference was packed, colorful, and often surreal. Gemma, at one point, suggested that a top legislator in the state's House of Representatives had cross-dressed in order to cast a fraudulent vote.
But at the heart of Gemma's presentation was a recitation of what he called sworn statements by Rhode Islanders who had seen Cicilline's top operatives commissioning voter fraud: paying people for votes, sending teens into polling places to impersonate voters, registering supporters at addresses that turned out to be vacant lots.
Gemma declined to provide any names, though, saying he was protecting the identities of those who made the statements — and the integrity of ongoing criminal investigations.
The media, primed to pounce, quickly took Gemma to task. How can any of this be verified? reporters asked. How can these accusations be considered credible — or responsible?
Legitimate questions, all.
But Gemma's performance was not as bad as initial media reports would have you believe. He was solemn. He said the right things about the sanctity of the vote. And here in Rogue Island, his accusations — whether true or utter garbage — probably seem plausible to the average voter.
Cicilline's reputation for dishonesty — the former Providence mayor claimed the city was in "excellent" fiscal condition during his 2010 race for Congress — only makes the claims more believable.
In the hours and days after I write, we may learn more about the veracity of Gemma's claims — and their ultimate impact on the race.
But for now, we're left in a funny place. Gemma, at first blush, doesn't seem to have destroyed Cicilline's career. And he doesn't seem to have destroyed his own, either. Instead, we are left in a murky swirl of snickering and accusation and manipulation, as is often the case in Rhode Island.
And it somehow seems appropriate that Gemma — carnival barker? truth-teller? cosmic joke? — has led us there.

Good directional antenna for AWUS036NH?
I am looking for a good directional antenna for my AWUS036NH wireless card.
I currently own this kit and I like it a lot: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0035BGNWU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
But I now want to practice finding specific MAC addresses. For example, if someone is using my "very secure" WEP based access point and I want to find out where he physically is. Another example would be to find a rogue AP. So I figured out that a good directional antenna will greatly help me find those devices.
So, I did some research and found these directional antennas:
- 16 dBi Yagi antenna (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/NEW-16-dBi-16db-16dbi-2-4-GHz-2-4G-802-11b-g-Wifi-Yagi-Antenna/498207056.html) This is made to be permenantly mounted outside
- Yagi 12dBi Compact Directional Antenna (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Yagi-12dBi-Compact-Directional-Antenna-For-WiFi-RP-SMA-Router-Switch/499155533.html)
- 2.4GHz 18dBi SMA High Gain Dish Directional Antenna for WiFi/Wireless Network (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-2011-Latest-2-4GHz-18dBi-SMA-High-Gain-Dish-Directional-Antenna-for-WiFi-Wireless/373762221.html)
- WIFLY-CITY 2.4GHz 10dBi R-SMA Directional Antenna for WiFi/Wireless Network (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/WIFLY-CITY-2-4GHz-10dBi-R-SMA-Directional-Antenna-for-WiFi-Wireless-Network/339263021.html)
And there are way more out there!
So, do you guys have any suggestions for me?
Thanks in advance!

34 degrees here in central Florida last night.. Heat on all night..
Poor Owl Gore, he tried.. Damn he would have made billions $$$ if people only listened to him..
last week we had snow flurries and sleet, this week it was supposed to warm up but were getting hammered by killing frost every day.
hey this is supposed to be the south!
some of my fruit trees have been burned all ready.
it looks like is is going to be a late spring here.
wasn't al-gore flapping his jaw about global warming, and it was going to be a hot and dry spring?--LOL!
i saw a polar bear the other day and ha had on a winter coat!--LOL!

The 16th of this month was a few degrees above normal and the global warming nuts were coming out of there holes. The lamestream media was alive with gloom and doom prophets. "The hurricane that hit New York was caused by global warming and we are now having warmer than normal temps." Hey dumbass, google hurricanes that have struck New York, youll see they have been hammering it since long before the industrial revolution. What a bunch of tards. Now where are they? Back in there holes till we get a day that is 3 degrees warmer than normal. I am still surprised that most people beleive what these morons say.
Clan MacPherson
Yeah, been in the 30's down here in the swamp too. Global warming my ass!
Well, that's why they changed their BS talk from "global warming" to "climate change". That wasn't working out too good. Damn con men, the whole bunch of them. Fricking climate is always changing. Got a saying in the bayous here, if you dont like the weather today, just wait, it will be different tomorrow.

Our seedlings all died last week when we put them out. Replanted seedlings again and this time waiting a few more weeks before planting them outside!
"Global warming" sells newspapers so it gets all the buzz. I mean, really, how could you be more dramatic than our ozone layer "decaying" due to global warming. Great stuff for a movie LOL
But in seriousness there is a global cooling trend going on. You should be able to find stuff by searching for "new ice age" (not the movie!) or "second ice age". Facts to prove the data. I don't think we'll need skis in Florida any time soon, but in a few centuries it will feel colder. Who knows what will happen after that. They think ice ages are cyclic and bound to happen once more. Again, there's scientific data to indicate this trend, not just some guy with a thermometer on an ice floe. Interesting stuff, really. At least for me it is, because "real" science interests me.

"Real science" is right, pook. If the global warming folks want to convince anyone with a brain with their theorys,and thats all they are is theorys, why do they constantly put these kooks out front with their o so easy to dis-prove b.s? They shoot themselves in the foot every time they open their mouths.
Clan MacPherson
if this keeps up i am going to be cutting firewood in the spring?--LOL!
damn al-gore he better hope i don't run into him--i'll have to beat the liar out of um! LOL!
All I'm asking for is the truth.
Clan MacPherson
We got 3'' of snow on Monday. Thank God we didn't set anything out from the green house on the 60 degree days the week before.
I just got two more ranks of wood & a re-fill on the propane tank. I'm usually mowing the grass by now.
Last time in Tennesee I noticed we were on the Al Gore highway. Seemed like a good time to pull off on the shoulder & do an oil change.
