Chromium-6 Drinking Water Standard
California's drinking water standard for chromium-6 took effect on July 1, 2014. It established a maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 parts per billion (ppb) for chromium-6 in drinking water and is the only drinking water standard for chromium-6 in the nation.
Public water systems are committed to meeting the standard, which is the first of its kind in the nation, but the timeline provided for compliance does not recognize the complex steps that some water systems must take to achieve the standard. The steps involved – from designing appropriate treatment systems to securing financing to building and testing new treatment facilities – can take up to five years or more and cost millions of dollars.
To address this challenge in 2015, ACWA sponsored SB 385 by Sen. Ben Hueso (D-San Diego). The bill, signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown in September 2015, established a carefully monitored process for public water systems to work toward and achieve compliance with the new chromium-6 standard. The measure authorized the State Water Resources Control Board to grant a limited period of time for affected water systems to work toward achieving compliance without being deemed in violation as long as strict safeguards are met.
Authored by Sen. Ben Hueso (D-San Diego), SB 385 advanced through the Legislature without a single no vote.

Chromium is an inorganic chemical that is used in many industrial processes including electroplating, wood treatment, pigments manufacture and cooling tower treatment for corrosion control. However, chromium is also a naturally occurring element. In fact, chromium is the 11th most common element in the earth's crust.
Since the 1970s, California has enforced a drinking water standard for total chromium, which includes chromium-3 and chromium-6. That standard of 50 ppb is more stringent than the federal standard for total chromium of 100 ppb.
Recent California Developments
California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) in July 2011 published a final chromium-6 public health goal (PHG) of 0.02 parts per billion (20 parts per trillion). At this level, it is estimated that not more than one person in 1 million who consumes a half-gallon of water daily for 70 years would be expected to develop cancer as a result of exposure.
A PHG is not an enforceable standard. State law requires the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to use a PHG as guidance in developing a maximum contaminant level (MCL), which is the enforceable state standard for drinking water that public water systems must meet. CDPH used the PHG as a starting point and has been working for the past two years on the many technical and cost issues associated with chromium-6 treatment.
Background on OEHHA's chromium 6 public health goal is available here.
California's drinking water standard for chromium-6 took effect on July 1, 2014. It established a maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 parts per billion (ppb) for chromium-6 in drinking water and is the only drinking water standard for chromium-6 in the nation.
Recent Federal Developments
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is currently reviewing the current standards for total chromium and chromium-6.
EPA reviewed total chromium as part of the second six-year review that was announced in March 2010. The Agency noted in March 2010 that it had initiated a reassessment of the health risks associated with chromium exposure and that the Agency did not believe it was appropriate to revise the national primary drinking water regulation while that effort was in process.
In 2008, EPA began a rigorous and comprehensive review of chromium-6 health effects through its Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) based on new science. When this human health assessment is finalized EPA will carefully review the conclusions and consider all relevant information to determine if the current chromium standard should be revised. See below for an update on those efforts on the health effects research.
In 2011, EPA asked water agencies to enhance their chromium monitoring through additional sampling and analysis specifically for chromium-6. EPA provided recommendations to water agencies through a memo available here. In addition, total chromium and chromium-6 were included in EPA's third Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule. EPA has asked water agencies to report detections of total chromium above 0.2 µg/L (parts per billion or ppb) and chromium-6 above 0.03 ppb between 2013 and 2015.
This process will add significant amounts of occurrence data that can be used by EPA and California to inform future efforts regarding the regulation of chromium-6 in drinking water.

Chromium-6 Health Effects
The effects of chromium-6 when it is ingested have been the subject of much debate. It is a known fact that when some forms of chromium-6 are inhaled, they can cause cancer. However, experts have disagreed on its toxicity in drinking water due in part to the possible changes to chromium-6 in the stomach when it is ingested.
The following is some information and resources about past and current research on chromium-6 health effects:
- EPA currently regulates total chromium based on noncancerous effects of the chemical such as its ability to cause liver damage, harm the kidney, damage nerve tissues, and cause skin irritations.
- The National Toxicology Program (NTP) announced in 2007 the results of a study that found chromium-6 caused oral cavity and small intestine cancers in laboratory animals when administered orally. The lowest doses given to the animals in the study were ten times higher than what humans could consume from the most highly contaminated water sources identified in California. NTP's study resulted from a 2001 petition from California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and CDPH. The NTP study results can be accessed at:http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/htdocs/ST_rpts/TOX072.pdf.
- The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) relied on the NTP study results when they published their public health goal in 2011.
- ToxStrategies has released the results of its research on the toxicity of chromium-6 and its "mode of action" (how it causes cancer in the body). The research was also designed to provide information on the differences between rodents and humans with regard to internal dose and develop the models and data needed to do a state-of-the-art risk assessment using NTP's 2007 findings. ToxStrategies' research found that its risk assessment using new mode of action (MOA) study data supports the current MCL (100 ppb) as protective for sensitive human subpopulations. More information is available here: http://www.toxstrategies.com/publications/CRVI_MOA_study.htm.
- EPA is working on a toxicological review specific to orally ingested chromium-6 through its Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS). Based on the recommendations of an external peer review panel that met in 2011 to review the draft assessment, EPA will consider the results of the ToxStrategies studies before finalizing its assessment. This new draft toxicity assessment will be combined with the inhalation assessment, which is also in draft development.
Treatment Options
The federal and state approved technologies for removing total chromium from drinking water include coagulation/filtration, anion exchange, reverse osmosis, and lime softening.
Because of research completed over the past decade by multiple water agencies and the state of California, three chromium-6 technologies have emerged as leading candidates with respect to feasibility and cost. Those are weak base anion exchange (WBA), strong base anion exchange (SBA), and reduction with ferrous iron/coagulation/filtration (RCF).
In 2002, the City of Glendale embarked upon a four-phase research campaign to identify and install the most effective treatment technologies for removing chromium-6 from drinking water supplies. Funding for various parts of the research was provided by the U.S. EPA, Cities of Los Angeles, Burbank, and San Fernando, along with the Water Research Foundation, ACWA and the state of California through Proposition 50. To review Glendale Water and Power's final report, please click here. Other water agencies in both northern and southern California continue to look at health-protective and cost-effective options for chromium-6 treatment.
Occurrence of Chromium-6 in California Water Supplies
CDPH worked with water systems in 2001-2002 to collect occurrence data for chromium-6 in California's drinking water. This sampling was mandatory for most systems since CDPH placed chromium-6 on the UCMR list in January 2001.
A map is available here with the locations of active community water system wells that had two or more detections above the DLR of 1 ppb between 2002-2010. DLR refers to detection limit for the purposes of reporting. The map defines "active community water systems" and does not include private wells, very small systems or water sources such as schoolsm which are considered non-transient, non-community water systems.
The availability of this data, along with the data from EPA's UCMR3, will inform efforts to continue developing effective treatment options for the removal of chromium-6 in water sources throughout the state.

Canada Condo Boom Could End With Ghettos, Ghost Towns, Some Analysts Fear
When market analysts start using words like "craze" and "unsustainable" to describe the state of housing, there may be something wrong.
And when one banking analyst describes the real estate market's future prospects with the words "ghost town," there may be something really, really wrong.
StatsCan released its April housing starts numbers on Tuesday, showing a startling 14 per cent jump in the number of new residential units coming under construction.
That went against observers' expectations of a slight decline in starts, given the recent softening of prices in some of Canada's biggest housing markets. But instead of a pull-back, Canada saw the second-largest number of condo starts ever recorded in a single month. And Ontario hit an all-time record.
No surprise where much of the boom comes from: Condos. Of the seasonally adjusted 245,000 starts in April, fully 158,000 of them were multiple-family dwellings -- nearly two-thirds of the total. While single family home construction grew a modest 0.6 per cent, condo construction exploded by more than 27 per cent over the course of the month, when adjusted for seasonal patterns.
Analysts appear to be in agreement: That's too much.
BMO Chief Economist Sherry Cooper says housing construction is "well above underlying demand" and the market is "at risk of overheating."
TD Bank's Dina Cover was more blunt: "We suspect that this level of home starts is not sustainable," the economist wrote in a note to clients, but added the bank expected the housing market to remain robust for the rest of the year.
Not everyone is so sure.
Scotia Capital economist Derek Holt told the Globe and Mail that there are signs of a housing bubble appearing in key hot markets.
In Toronto, he said, a quarter of the condo stock is sitting empty -- a situation similar to the one in south Florida some five years ago, just before the condo market there collapsed. It's now possible today to buy a condo in Miami's once-hot condo market for as little as $50,000.
"This is the ghost city phenomenon," Mr. Holt said.
UPDATE: The source for Scotia Capital's assertion that a quarter of condos are empty, Shaun Hildebrand, an analyst for the CMHC, has restated that number to 22 per cent. He also notes he is referring to "investor owned" properties, and says it's unknown which ones are or aren't empty."We simply do not track that," he said, as quoted at the Financial Post.
Scotial Capital has also corrected the statistic, saying they "took an overly strong interpretation of CMHC figures." The 22 per cent number refers to the "condos in the Greater Toronto Area [that] are being rented as one portion of the investor owned segment," the note said.
The prospect of a housing bubble creating "ghost cities" is not just hysteria. It's been on the minds of housing market analysts recently because of the bursting of the massive housing bubble in China in the past year, a market swoon so bad it exposed entire empty cities, waiting for occupants who will never arrive.
Obviously, the scale of the problem in Canada is much smaller. But the idea of empty condo buildings has many people worried about the ghettoization of Canada's largest cities.
Toronto Star columnist Christopher Hume expressed those concerns in a recent article, in which he suggested the city's condo complexes could end up being enormous new ghettos.
Hume argued that because condos tend be small, they rely on strength in the low-end housing market to keep their prices up. If a correction happens -- such as the one many predict Canada's largest cities are in for -- those condos will lose value, will be turned into rental units, and will soon sink into poverty.
Another wild card in Canada's condo market is foreign investors. By some estimates, investors from abroad have been snapping up as many as half the condos in Toronto and Vancouver. Little is known about who they are, and where their money comes from. So predicting when it might stop flowing is virtually impossible.
But one thing is certain: Foreign investors are crowding the real estate market, and forcing prices upwards. That has prompted some politicians and policymakers to call for a ban on foreign investment in residential real estate, as Australia recently did.
In an article at the National Post, Diane Francis reported on what she described as a tax fraud scam that's blowing up a real estate bubble. Investors put 5 per cent down to buy a condo before it's built, then flip the condo for a higher price and pocket the difference -- without paying taxes on this capital gain.
"[Condo] brokers tell me I can flip my assignment and pay no tax and there is no paper trail. They say we do it all day long," the Post quoted an anonymous investor as saying.
All told, a picture is emerging of a housing market that is being increasingly distorted, and one that has less and less to do with the demand for shelter. If you get into the housing market this year, know the risks, and exercise caution.

Geoffrey Pelkey:Fayette was one of the typical 19th century "boom towns." The Jackson Iron Company founded the town in 1867 The site was chosen for the limestone, the small but deep natural harbor, and the immense stands of hardwood on the entire length of the Garden Peninsula. (The hardwood was used to make charcoal, which together with limestone, was essential to the iron smelting process.) By 1891 the hardwood on the peninsula was gone and soft coal was replacing charcoal in the smelting process. It was no longer profitable for the company to run Fayette. The furnaces went cold and the town slowly became deserted.

We here are big fans of physical media, which is why we've put a lot of emphasis on vinyl.
But the world left us behind over a decade ago, so we're finally catching up. Over the weekend, we put the entire Anti-Creative Records catalog up on Bandcamp, where you can stream it all for free. If you'd rather not stream, you can download any of the albums for whatever price you feel is appropriate.
In the past, the individual bands had all of their music available digitally in various spaces, but we've centralized it. We'll be playing with other digital avenues for our releases in the near future.

fantastic buy I had been looking for a strapless bra that would give me complete support. I tried on others at different stores and no matter how high the price was, nothing helped. I have cervical neck nerve impingement which does not allow me wearing any straps on my shoulders. I bought two of this bra and I have felt so much better and I LOOK better in t-tops,blouses, etc. The price was so good! From now on, David's Bridal online is where I am going to purchase my bras! My son and his fiancee are getting married 8/22/2015 and David's Bridal is going to be my "place" for long line strapless support and I just know I am going to find my Mother-of-the-Groom dress at David's,too! I have started browsing the web site and already have "My Favorites" saved!!! July 10, 2014
Great Bra I recently purchased this product online. I was skeptical about purchasing my first ever strapless bra online, I was surprised when it was delivered that yes it did fit. So it is very true to size. It is surprisingly very comfortable as well. What a great buy. November 30, 2012
Take a chance I am wide around the ribs, but smaller in the boobs (42B) so I have a very difficult time with bras. I ordered this one hoping it would work for me. I am so excited it fits perfectly. It's comfortable, stays in place and is pretty to boot! I am so loving this bra. =) Take a chance ladies...you won't be disappointed. January 10, 2012
Horrible-You get what you pay for I knew this was too good to be true-steer clear of this bra ladies. It provides NO support, is flimsy and not worth even $10. The padding is thin, too. I highly recommend paying more money for a better bra. December 6, 2011

In this week's issue of the Boston Phoenix -- in print tomorrow, online now -- I look at a new trend in big-money funding at colleges and universities. Conservative foundations are making a concerted effort to fund programs that add right-wing voices to the campus dialog.
This is a shift in focus from what I call 'think-tank model' funding that they've done for years -- and from funding of campus activities (like conservative student newspapers) outside the faculty and department structure.
I took a close look at ideologically-backed funding on college campuses (from left and right) about six years ago, in a piece I was quite proud of called Buying the Campus Mind.
The new article is here:

Brad Delong suggests we need a combination of monetary and fiscal policy. I am not opposed to that but I think the statement could do it alone.
You would say something like the following.
The Committee judges that economic conditions will warrant exceptionally low levels for the Federal Funds rate until current value Gross Domestic Product exceeds $19.5 Trillion.
$19.5 Trillion is the level we would have reached in late 2013 had we continued on a 5% growth path. The key is coming up with the target date then you derive the NGDP number and set the funds rate conditional upon that.
I think coming up with something like a Taylor rule for NGDP is useful. If its already be done let me know, if not I am on it.

Gun sellers say gun laws anniversary isn't anything to celebrate
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Monday marked the two-week anniversary since the Colorado's new gun laws took effect. Gun sellers around Colorado Springs said it's an anniversary they don't want to celebrate.
The new laws rolled out July 1. Under the new laws, selling magazines with more than 15 rounds is illegal.
Gun sellers spent months trying to keep up with the demand of panicked customers. Now it's a different story.
"These are empty ammunition shelves. This is absolutely unheard of," said Specialty Sports' owner Jeff Lepp as he walked around his store. "We are never out of anything. This year, things are really tough."
Each empty shelf is an eyesore for Lepp.
"Things have definitely slowed down and people are upset that things that they could buy two weeks ago, they can't buy anymore. There are certainly people who don't understand this and are very unhappy about it," said Lepp.
Sales at Specialty Sports are up compared to last July. Lepp said firearm sales always slow down in the summer.
"Summer is the slowest time frame of the year because people are traveling and doing activities," said Lepp.
However, summer business is slower now than it was before the gun laws rolled out.
"People (are) saying, 'Well, if I can't buy what I want to buy, I won't buy (anything)," said Lepp.
"Whenever you have a boom period, there is always a real bust period afterwards," said Paul Paradis.
Paradis owns Paradise Sales off Colorado Avenue in Colorado Springs. Paradis was hoping to see sales increase 10 to 15 percent from last July. He says thanks to the new gun laws, they've flatlined.
"We went through five months of absolute panic buying, massive shortages, price increases and of course after the law passed, it slowed down considerably," said Paradis.
Back at Specialty Sports, Lepp said he isn't that concerned. Customers will continue to walk through his door hoping to take home a firearm -- it will just take a little longer.
Both gun sellers estimate it will take at least a year for store inventory to go back to normal.
There is a trial scheduled later in the year to contest the constitutionality of the new gun laws.

Lugs' thrilling rally stymied by Loons walk-off
By Slavko Bekovic / Lansing Lugnuts | August 23, 2013 4:56 PM ET
MIDLAND, Mich. - After the Lansing Lugnuts (24-37, 56-74) mounted a four-run rally in the top of the ninth inning to send the game into extras, Jose Capellan delivered a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th to give the Great Lakes Loons (35-25, 62-68) a thrilling 8-7 win in a wild back-and-forth game at Dow Diamond on Friday night.
Lansing completed the first half with a 10-1 record against the Loons, but finishes winless - 0-9 - against Great Lakes in the second half, swept three different times.
With Lansing trailing 7-3 entering the ninth inning, the Lugs plated four runs against Loons reliever Crayton Bare. Three straight singles loaded the bases for Dwight Smith, Jr., who rifled a bases-clearing double into the right field corner, bringing Lansing to within 7-6. Smith would come around to score from second base on a swinging-bunt by Kevin Patterson a batter later, sending the game into extras tied, 7-7.
Jeremy Rathjen led off the home half of the 10th inning with a single against Lansing's Chad Girodo (Loss, 1-1) and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. Capellan then came to the plate against Arik Sikula and promptly singled softly into center field, scoring Rathjen from second and giving the Loons the sweep of the Lugs.
Capellan finished 4-for-5 in the game with a pair of RBI's and a pair of bunt singles as well, also contributing a run scored.
Before Capellan's 10th inning heroics, it was Rathjen who sparked the Loons' own four-run rally in the bottom of the seventh inning, breaking a 3-3 tie with a grand slam against Griffin Murphy.
A leadoff single was followed by a fielder's choice, an infield single and a hit batter to load the bases for Rathjen, who was 0-for-3 in the game to that point. The Loons' right fielder then took Murphy's 2-0 fastball over the fence in left-center field, untying the game and sending the 5,816 fans at Dow Diamond into a frenzy.
Lansing starter Taylor Cole took a no-decision, tossing 5 1/3 frames. Cole gave up three runs - two earned - on five hits. The newly-turned 24-year old struck out three and walked three each.
Chris Anderson lasted three innings in the start for Great Lakes, allowing two earned runs on four hits with four strikeouts and two walks. The win went to Rob Rogers (Win 2-0), who pitched 1 2/3 scoreless frames in the ninth and 10th innings.
Smith starred in the losing cause for the Lugs, finishing 3-for-5 with four RBIs a day after his team-high 22-game on-base streak was halted.
Lansing now heads home to open up a three-game series against the Dayton Dragons with a 7:05 p.m. first pitch at Cooley Law School Stadium on Saturday night. Lansing will hand the ball to Ben White (8-7, 3.81) in opposition of Dayton's southpaw Ismael Guillon (5-8, 5.27).

I am a Yoga Therapist, Certified Facilitator of The Work, Thai Bodyworker, & Artist based in Dallas, TX. I see beauty and love in all types of yoga and teach a blend of Vinyasa, Therapeutic Yoga, & Somatic Movement. Experiencing yoga as a path of self-discovery & creativity, I often weave The Work of Byron Katie, journaling, art, & thai massage into my yoga practice & teachings. At the moment, I am mainly focusing on private sessions, workshops, and retreats….and I am loving it!
I have been a student of The Work of Byron Katie since 2009 and am now a Certified Facilitator. The Work is a simple yet powerful process of identifying stressful thoughts and questioning them. Through this meditative inquiry, also known as "Yoga for the Mind," I have realized life is beautiful just as it is ~ there is nothing to fix or change. My daily practice of Yoga & The Work continues to provide a compassionate inner support system, especially during my current journey healing breast cancer. Inner peace truly is available in any moment.
I am also certified in the healing art of Thai Yoga Bodywork (assisted yoga stretching, massage, acupressure, & reflexology). As a result, my yoga classes are very hands-on, allowing students to feel nurtured and supported in every moment. Almost every class ends with a lavender head, neck, & shoulder massage. Because this form of bodywork compliments yoga so well, I created a Thai Yoga for Teachers 12-hour immersion and customized 2-hour Thai Yoga workshops available for yoga teachers and studios.
As an Artist, I have discovered an intimate connection between art & yoga. I took my yoga practice to the canvas in 2007 when I found a bag of painting materials left in my attic. At that moment, "yogArt" was born and I continue to explore it through my own personal practice and share it with students & studios through yogArt therapy.
Enough about me. How can I support you? Contact me and let the inner adventure begin.
Certifications & Influences
My greatest Teacher is and continues to be "Life" itself. I am also grateful to have received the following guidance & support:
- 200-hr Vinyasa Yoga Certification with Ganga White & Tracy Rich at The White Lotus Foundation
- 500-hr Yoga Therapy Certification with Michelle Andrie at Priya Yoga
- Certified Facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie

A charming island of palm-fringed beaches and colonial-style architecture
This small Dutch Caribbean island lies just 18 miles off the coast of Venezuela and is a unique cultural melting pot of people, languages and cuisine.
Here, you can enjoy year-round sunshine, the picture-perfect palm-fringed white sand beaches of the south, dramatic landscapes of the north and the wild scenery that is found in the middle of the island, spreading out to the west.
The rugged Windward coast is home to limestone coves and desert scenery while Arikok National Park's hiking trails lead to abandoned gold mines, ruins and ancient paintings and fossils.
- You'll find the finest beaches on the south and west coasts – powder soft sands and calm waters
- Head to the east for the rugged Windward coast with its limestone coves and desert scenery
- Head to Arikok National Park for hiking trails to witness abandoned gold mines, ruins and ancient paintings and fossils
- Below the hurricane belt in the Southern Caribbean, Aruba benefits from year-round sunshine
- Stroll around Oranjestad to take in the unmistakingly Dutch colourful colonial buildings
Top hotels in Aruba
Best time to visit Aruba
Aruba is warm all year, with an average temperature of 24-29°C. The Caribbean has become a popular year-round destination with temperatures ranging between the high 20s and low 30s. The dry season is from December to June, while the wet season is from July to November when showers are likely and the humidity levels are high. What's known as 'hurricane season' runs from June to November.
Aruba holiday highlights
Aruba is an exotic paradise located deep in the southern Caribbean Sea. Although the island is just 20 miles long, it has plenty to offer – from secluded beaches, natural rock formations and coral-encrusted shipwrecks to chic resorts, adventure sports and glitzy casinos. The pristine beaches and year-round sunshine make Aruba a popular destination for both families and honeymooners looking for a mixture of adventure and relaxing island bliss.
Originally a fishing outpost for Amerindians from the Arawak tribe, the island has changed hands a number of times. Switching between Spanish and Dutch rule, it is now a member of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (The Netherlands Antilles). Today it is influenced by more than 90 nationalities and this is reflected in the colourful architecture and eclectic cuisine found across the island – a fusion of Caribbean, South American and European dishes.
The typical Aruban beach features wide white bays lapped by cerulean seas backed by intimate and stylish resorts and superb all-inclusive properties that offer excellent family-friendly activities. The sheltered south and west coasts are home to the island's finest beaches.
Some of the most idyllic in the world, here you'll find calm, inviting waters. To the south is Eagle Beach, Palm Beach's more relaxed neighbour. Renowned for pristine white sands, you can choose from a selection of fantastic resorts set on this beautiful beach. The adults-only Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts Aruba offers a romantic and secluded setting as well as exceptional dining. Alternatively, the intimate and stylish Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa is perfect for those looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday.
To the east of the island, you will find the rugged Windward coast. Home to stunning limestone coves and desert scenery, this wild coast is well worth a visit. Although it's unsuitable for swimming due to the strong current and thundering waves, it's incredibly scenic.
Natural wonders
The incredible 7,907 acre Arikok National Park that encompasses almost 20% of the entire island showcases diverse geological landscapes, provides a sanctuary for native flora and fauna, and affords a glimpse into Aruba's rich past. Follow hiking trails and pass abandoned gold mines, plantation house ruins and ancient Arawak paintings and fossils. Discover an island desert strewn with cacti and divi-divi trees before exploring the shadowy caves beneath your feet. If all this sightseeing under Caribbean rays leaves you a little hot and bothered, get back to nature with a dip in the refreshing Natural Pool before returning to your beachside resort.
From the instant that you set foot in the capital of Oranjestad, you'll discover that it is undoubtedly Dutch in its origins. Named after the Netherlands' first king and the first heir to the House of Orange, William of Orange-Nassau, the city features colourful colonial buildings covered in intricate carved wooden detail and traditional Dutch tiles.
The local's legendary hospitality pervades through the streets of the town, exemplifying the highlights of an Aruban escape. Chic bars, cafés and duty-free shops can be found in the town's malls and on the marketplaces and plazas, overlooking the charming marina.
Located below the hurricane belt in the Southern Caribbean, Aruba enjoys year-round sunshine and has more sunny days than anywhere else in the Caribbean, making it the ideal destination for sun-worshippers.

Jackson Tennessee 38301
This is a formal complaint against Apria Healthcare. I visited the healthcare center in Gilbert Arizona by an appointment on 3/6/2014. On my visit I made a complete and final payment to the facility using a credit card and had charged the full amount. The full amount was posted to my bank account on 3/9/2014. On 3/21/2014 Apria Healthcare made a 2nd charge to my credit card without my authorization for the same item I purchased on 3/6/2014 so I was double charged. I called Apria Healthcare and have asked them to credit my account and I was told that I need to dispute the charge with my bank. To me this make it appear to Apria that they are not admitting they made a mistake in there system. I also asked Apria to remove my credit card from there system due to the unauthorized charge. I was told I need to send a written letter to Apria Healthcare
1328 S Highland Ave. Jackson Tennessee 38301. I also asked Apria Healthcare to document and send my complaint to upper management on 3/26/2014, I am presently waiting for a call.

Check Gauges light and engine temperature help
I need some help with my 2002 TJ for all of you mechanics out there. No one has been able to figure this out.
After about 20 minutes of driving, and usually at a stop light or something, my temperature gauge needle will suddenly and quickly dip down into the red and the check gauges light will come on. About 30 seconds later, and whether still stopped or moving, the needle will move back to normal just as quickly as it dipped down. I don't think it's possible for the engine to actually be overheating and cooling down this quickly. Could it just be a sensor or something maybe? That seems to be the consensus.. but what sensor is it, where is it located, and how do I change it? :banghead:
Things I have already done to try and fix this based on the advice of others:
- Switched out thermostat with brand new one
- "Burped" coolant system
- Emptied and refilled radiator
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to help me out!
Sounds like it could be a bad coolant sensor. The sensor is merely a variable resistor that changes resistance with the temperature. There must be a bad spot in it which just happens to be where the temperature rises somewhat when the airflow across the radiator and engine decreases, such as when stopped at a stoplight. Once is sweeps back down past the open spot the resistance reads again and feeds the correct resistance to the gauge cluster.
The coolant sensor for the gauge is in the head near the rear in the 4.0 I6. I beleive the one for the electric aux. fan is the one in the thermostat housing but I could have them bass ackwards.
No problem.
Hi. I have the same problem
Was the cause the coolant sensor ?
Many thanks

Become A Test Driver
Test driving isn't all heated seats and smooth highway driving. Being a test driver means pushing the car to the limits and asking it to perform to its maximum. While this doesn't mean wild and crazy driving, it does mean some serious concentration is needed, as well as some serious guts. That's right; you must have the confidence to push a vehicle and the skill to properly control it in sticky situations. You have to understand the mechanics behind the gear changes and the power-to-weight ratio and all that other fun stuff that lies beneath the shiny surface. You need to know how things work and why the car is reacting the way it is.
Your professional career as a test driver for a manufacturer may just begin on the sidelines of the track as a vehicle sales representative or researcher. By doing such a job for the automotive manufacturer you are gaining invaluable background knowledge about the vehicles you will one day be testing and driving.
SalaryIf driving luxury vehicles for a living just isn't reward enough for you, don't worry: Being a test driver means you bring in a salary like the rest of those office-dwelling folk. Payment may come in the form of an hourly rate or a yearly salary, depending on the company you become involved with. A simple online search for "automotive test driver" will bring up companies willing to pay hourly wages for testers. Manufacturers may also pay to have a test driver visit a foreign factory or invite testers for week-long testing periods where an entire fleet of vehicles may be tested, all paid for at the expense of the manufacturer.
Other than driving, what else does a test driver need to do?

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
In the New York Times yesterday, Allan Hubbard, director of the National Economic Council, made the usual flimsy arguments for Health Savings AccountsBush's plan to "reform" health care. I thought this plan was mostly dead-on-arrival, but perhaps the administration's making a renewed push. Well, in that case, everyone should re-read Jon Cohn's article in The New Republic on why HSAs are a terrible ideathey shift risk from the healthy to the sick, perversely. But we can do the short version here. Hubbard:
Health care is expensive because the vast majority of Americans consume it as if it were free. Health insurance policies with low deductibles insulate people from the cost of the medical care they use so much so that they often do not even ask for prices.Well, even if this was true, HSAs wouldn't change a thing. The general and widely-quoted rule of thumb is that 20 percent of the population is responsible for 80 percent of the nation's health care costs. The people in this 20 percent, those who tend to go in for major surgery and emergency care and the like, will almost always rack up costs well over the $2,000 deductible they'd have with an HSA, after which their catastrophic coverage will kick in. And once that happens, they'll be consuming health care "as if it were free."
So HSAs won't have the slightest effect Hubbard's talking about on the vast majority of health care spending in the United States. At the margins, you might see some savingsthat is, ignoring all the other problems with HSAs. But fundamentally? They won't address rising health care costs. (At any rate, rising health care costs in the future are likely inevitablea natural consequence of the fact that health care keeps improving and people want to use it to live longer and healthier. The key question will be how to make sure that health care is more or less equitable, which is not remotely the case at the momentand HSAs won't do a thing about that.)
MORE: Here's a good Wall Street Journal piece on how Hubbard has started a new push to sell HSAs to the public. The Times op-ed, apparently, is just the start.

Nov. 3, 2011
By Nick Frank
Athletic Media Relations
If you're not on your feet to catch it, it will go right past you.
Growing up, that's what Derek Good's dad, Matthew, told him repeatedly. Initially, Derek thought that advice meant that he needed to be on his feet to catch a pass, or else of course, it would go right past him.
Like a lot of children that look up to their parents, Derek took everything his dad said as 100 percent truth. The two immediately became friends, playing catch near their home in Eugene, Ore., where Matthew supported the family as a technical engineer.
In 2003, Derek entered high school and he was adamant about running the ball and getting an opportunity to showcase the talent he knew he had, as a freshman. But coaches didn't see a starting running back; they saw a kick returner.
On his first return, Good broke a few tackles, got hit, and then did the unthinkable: He fumbled the football. Good remembers the sinking feeling in his stomach.
"It was my worst nightmare," Good said, flashing a coy smile.
The bad dreams continued after that freshman year, when his dad's job brought Good to Berthoud High School, much smaller than his Eugene school. Offered an opportunity to start as a sophomore RB after he dazzled coaches with his speed and bruising running style in practice, again, on his first carry of his first start, he fumbled. Not exactly how he planned on making people remember his name.
But Derek didn't want this opportunity to go right past him, and did what he would get accustomed to doing later in life. He stood up stronger. He went on to set the career touchdown record at Berthoud and led his team to an undefeated regular-season record as a senior.
Despite that success, he didn't receive a Division I scholarship offer from a Division I schools. With offers from most prestigious Division II schools, a decision loomed squarely in his path: Play Division II or walk on at Colorado State?
Again, Good heard his father's voice, and stayed on his feet. Sharing a dream with his dad, he was determined to be a Division I football player and prove to himself, his father and everyone who doubted him that he had what it took.
After redshirting as a true freshman at CSU, a new coaching staff gave him a look at running back during the spring. Good reeled off multiple long runs, impressing many people, especially his dad.
"He told me if I were to never step out onto the field again," Derek said, holding back tears, he was prouder of me than he'd ever been in his life because I had made it that far."
The summer following that spring, the Good family received news that would change Derek and his mother's lives forever. Matthew had been feeling ill and went to the hospital to learn he had liver and kidney problems. Two weeks later, Derek's dad passed away.
The loss devastated everyone, especially Derek. The father-son combo had become best friends and in a matter of a few weeks, Derek's life had turned upside down. Good relied on his mother and friends to get him through the ups and downs, the nights when he simply needed someone to listen, and the times that he used to pass hanging out with his old man.
To compound the situation, the family ran into financial problems. Matthew was the primary provider, and Derek, still a walkon forced to pay his own way to college, fought a stressful battle to remain at CSU and keep alive the dream he shared with his dad.
Need-based financial aid was available, and Good quickly registered. Initially, that move seemed to keep him afloat, but it actually provided a major road block. Under NCAA rules, any money received by a player from the school counts against a team's scholarship allotment, and CSU had no flexibility.
This new challenge could not have come at a worse time for the redshirt freshman. Prior to a road contest at Cal in 2008, special teams coordinator Larry Lewis had told Good he wanted him on the kickoff team. It would be Derek's first college game, which would fulfill a promise he had made to his father, and that thought alone meant more to Good than any dollar amount.
So Good then did what many people did not see coming, and returned the money so he could make his debut at Cal. Derek and his mom vowed to determine other ways to pay for school.
And unlike his previous debuts on the gridiron, which left Good with frustration and regret, he made the tackle on CSU's first kickoff. For Good, this was the ultimate payoff for all the hardships he had endured. After the game, while wearing a necklace that contained his father's ashes, Good called his mom, Heidi, to tell her the news. According to Heidi, the two cried on the phone, sharing a moment of happiness after all the pain.
Good finished the year on a strong note, earning the coaching staff's Scout Team Offensive Player of the Year. As a sophomore, he became a mainstay on many special-teams units.
But following that 2009 season, he received more tragic news. A car accident had killed one of his closest childhood friends, another blow, just when things were turning up. Good tried to do the only thing he knew how to do, stand up stronger. And his patience paid off.
The following season, entering his junior year, Good walked into the office of Head Coach Steve Fairchild as a walk-on player, and walked out a scholarship player. Another dream had come true.
"The biggest thing I have learned through my hardships is that not everything in life will be handed to you," said Good. "Whether you have dreams to become a great athlete or dreams to become the vice president of a company, you will have to work your tail off. That means when tough things come across your path you need to be prepared and ready to take them on and never back down."
That fall, after Tony Drake was left home for disciplinary reasons, Good was told he was going to get a shot at returning kickoffs at Air Force. Unlike his first return at Churchill High School, Good didn't fumble, and he broke the single-game Mountain West record with 263 kickoff-return yards, averaging 32.9 yards. Needless to say, he won the permanent job, and at one point in the season led the nation in kickoff-return average. He finished seventh in CSU history with a 25.8-yard average.
Nominated by CSU for the Rudy Ruettiger Award, given to a player that exemplifies courage despite challenges in his life, he also earned the role of special-teams captain prior to his 2011 senior year. A construction management major, he recently interviewed with a construction company, made the most of the opportunity and got the job.
He got the job because he stayed on his feet to catch that opportunity. Again, Derek heard his father's advice, just as he did in the moments before his dad died.
"My dad told me the quote right before he passed," said Good. "I believe he was preparing me for the real world and making me realize that you have to take advantage of the opportunities given to you."

But this whole Klein film has me even more confused. It seems like everyone is trying to demonize this guy. Everyone seems very happy to blame him for all of these embassy attacks. And who knows. Maybe this guy is a first class douche? Maybe his film is nothing more than a technicolor, anti-Muslim, hate fest? And it probably is, I don't know because I've never seen the film and don't intend to. But did one low budget movie give these extremists the right to kill people? The answer is a resounding NO. I guess there is a reason they are called extremists.
|Christianity may be out of fashion but obviously it's still "in style".
Ultimately, we live in a country were freedom of speech is guaranteed, which means that everyone has a voice. You get the privilege of hearing my voice, six days a week here, and right, wrong or indifferent we must allow for all voices to be heard. There are many voices that I would like silenced forever; the KKK, Fred Phelps, all of the cast of The Jersey Shore, and anyone that finds themselves associated with Paris Hilton. But I even those freaks of nature have guaranteed rights that must be protected.
Unfortunately, that means that we have to allow for all kinds of douche baggery and even be prepared to defend it, whether we believe in it or not. The problem as I see it, is when we trade one form of bigotry for another. Currently, Christianity has fallen out of fashion and Christian bashing has become SOP. But God forbid you say anything negative about Islam! Now I actually have very few views about the Muslim religion. I don't care what religion you choose to practice. I've pretty much tried it all. Wicca, anyone?
But I have to tell you that I am tired of having to defend my religious predilection at every turn. I wonder what our founding fathers, who were Christians fleeing religious persecutions, would make of all of this?
For any of you that feel I'm speaking out of turn please explain the difference between Muslim and Christian bashing to me? Why is one worthy of embassy attacks and killings and the other a joke that should be enjoyed and taken lightly? When did being a Christian become a punchline?
*I actually know the answer to the Lot's wife thing. A "pillar of salt" is a slang term used in this time period meaning to have a heart attack, much like we would use the term "kicked the bucket".
Peace Out!

I have been pretty sick for a couple weeks and have not had time to do the D30 swap. Adam came over today to help me throw it under and hopefully prep for the winch that should be arriving Tuesday (and hopefully can find time to mount it for Snowfari)
Got most of it done today, but had to order brake lines and bead glue. Also need to locate a longer (not drop) pitman arm to make use of my new found turning radius.
The width is a nice match with the 2" wheel spacers on the rear. It puts the tires out just enough to protect the body.
We have to break down all my tires and transfer 3 of them to wheels that have safety beads and use bead glue on them. The 4th needs just broken down and bead glue put on, then I need to calibrate my tire deflators and put together spare parts and a tool kit to take.
Tomorrow my brake lines should be in, and we can install the new lines and bleed the system.
While underneath today Adam discovered my rear u-joint is toast, and we have to make up a new front shaft because the D30 uses a large u-joint compared to the flatties original one.
I hate last minute wrenching for a wheeling trip. Even more so when we are not positive how we are getting it there

We need to stop the spread of infection, says Loyola hepatologist
MAYWOOD, Ill. (June 5, 2014) - A simple blood test can detect if a person is one of the 2 billion people worldwide infected with hepatitis B. And now the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that all teens and adults who are at high risk for hepatitis B get screened.
"Many people with hepatitis B do not show any symptoms so they are not diagnosed, which means they keep transmitting the disease to others," said Steve Scaglione, MD, board certified hepatologist at Loyola University Health System. Hepatologists are specialists in treating liver disease. "Increased screening means the disease is diagnosed earlier, treated earlier and better controlled."
Hepatitis B is an infectious disease that is passed from person to person through blood and bodily fluids. There are two varieties of the disease: acute hepatitis B causes illness for a short term before recovery. Chronic hepatitis B is ongoing and can cause life-threatening liver damage.
"Advancements in treatment for hepatitis B are being made, but prevention and early diagnosis are still the best route for public health," said Scaglione, who regularly treats hepatitis B patients at Loyola.
According to the Hepatitis B Foundation, up to 100,000 people in the United States get the virus each year, and 10 million to 30 million people in the world are infected.
Treatment for hepatitis B ranges from antiviral medication to stop the virus from multiplying to liver transplantation in cases of extreme illness. Hepatitis B can be transmitted if you:
- Have sex with an infected person without using a condom
- Share needles (used for injecting drugs) with an infected person
- Get a tattoo or piercing with tools that weren't sterilized
- Share personal items like razors or toothbrushes with an infected person
Individuals considered to be at high risk for hepatitis B and who are recommended to be screened include:
- Adolescents and adults not vaccinated for hepatitis B at birth
- People born in countries or regions with a high rate of hepatitis B infection, including Africa, Southeast Asia, Pacific Islands, China, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and the northern countries of South America such as Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador
- People whose parents were born in countries with a high rate of infection
- People with HIV
- People who inject drugs
- Men who have sex with men
- People who live with or have sex with someone with hepatitis B
- Patients with weakened immune systems or who are receiving kidney dialysis
A mother infected with hepatitis B can transmit the disease to her baby. Medication can be given to the child to prevent the infection from spreading.
Symptoms of hepatitis B include:
- Feeling very tired
- Mild fever
- Headache
- Not wanting to eat
- Feeling sick to your stomach or vomiting
- Belly pain
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Muscle aches and joint pain
- Skin rash
- Yellowish eyes and skin (jaundice), which usually appear only after other symptoms have started to go away
The Loyola hepatology team offers treatment at 11 Loyola locations in Illinois and also conducts research and research trials to improve prevention and treatment.

Harris, Joycelyn and Sun, Lily and Adams, A.A. (2009) Requirements Analysis for an e-Government System to Support Multi-Organisational Collaborative Groups. In: 9th European Conference on e-Government, 29-30 June 2009, University of Westminster.
Available under License The license granted to OpenDepot.org.
Download (1145Kb) | Preview
We present a conceptual architecture for a Group Support System (GSS) to facilitate Multi-Organisational Collaborative Groups (MOCGs) initiated by local government and including external organisations of various types. Multi-Organisational Collaborative Groups (MOCGs) consist of individuals from several organisations which have agreed to work together to solve a problem. The expectation is that more can be achieved working in harmony than separately. Work is done interdependently, rather than independently in diverse directions. Local government, faced with solving complex social problems, deploy MOCGs to enable solutions across organisational, functional, professional and juridical boundaries, by involving statutory, voluntary, community, not-for-profit and private organisations. This is not a silver bullet as it introduces new pressures. Each member organisation has its own goals, operating context and particular approaches, which can be expressed as their norms and business processes. Organisations working together must find ways of eliminating differences or mitigating their impact in order to reduce the risks of collaborative inertia and conflict. A GSS is an electronic collaboration system that facilitates group working and can offer assistance to MOCGs. Since many existing GSSs have been primarily developed for single organisation collaborative groups, even though there are some common issues, there are some difficulties peculiar to MOCGs, and others that they experience to a greater extent: a diversity of primary organisational goals among members; different funding models and other pressures; more significant differences in other information systems both technologically and in their use than single organisations; greater variation in acceptable approaches to solve problems. In this paper, we analyse the requirements of MOCGs led by local government agencies, leading to a conceptual architecture for an e-government GSS that captures the relationships between 'goal', 'context', 'norm', and 'business process'. Our models capture the dynamics of the circumstances surrounding each individual representing an organisation in a MOCG along with the dynamics of the MOCG itself as a separate community.

Google has announced that it will be phasing out support for older browsers beginning August 1 and it will start with the loss of certain features, but it will eventually turn into loss of those web services altogether. Google wants to take full advantage of HTML5 technology and older browsers such as Internet Explorer 7, Safari 3, Firefox 3.5 and their predecessors just don't have the capability to do so…………
Google is moving forward to stop the use of aging browsers which can be insecure and not sophisticated enough to handle the latest web technologies. Statistics on browser versions gathered by StatCounter say that about 17 percent need to change in the light of Google's decision. The announcement was made in Google's blogpost, saying its engineers were keen to make use of the latest capabilities in browsers and that required support for HTML5 technology. From August 1st Google will only support what it calls modern browsers. Only the latest versions and major prior releases of Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari will be able to use the functions that Google offers. Google will only do compatibility testing with more up-to-date browsers. It will make not test with older programs and can make guarantees that Web services will work with them. Venkat Panchapakesan, vice president of engineering at Google, wrote in the BlogSpot "These new browsers are more than just a modern convenience; they are a necessity for what the future holds." Mozilla, which oversees development of Firefox, has likewise kicked off a plan to get the 12 million or so people using version 3.5 of its browser to update, claiming it was frustrated with efforts to get people to upgrade and had taken a series of steps to force change. Using pop-up screens, adverts, re-directs and updates the company attempted to steer people towards more recent versions of Firefox. Figures suggest the campaign has had some success, as the number of users on Firefox 3.5 has now dropped to about one million. Microsoft's campaign to stop people using Internet Explorer 6 is one of the longest running upgrade efforts. The software giant has used its automatic update system to get newer versions of its browser out to many users.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
To date, SPCA of Southwest Michigan has rescued and adopted out more than 15,550 dogs, puppies, cats and kittens since its inception in 2002. The organization rescues abandoned pets that might otherwise be euthanized in pound facilities.
The SPCA of Southwest Michigan is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organization that operates solely on private donations and the generosity of the public. The Rescue and Adoption Center is located at 6955 West KL Avenue, Kalamazoo, Michigan 49009.
Monday - Friday 1:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Saturday 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
Anytime by appointment, just call 269-344-1474
We are located in the heart of Oshtemo Township in Kalamazoo. 6955 W KL Ave, Kalamazoo, MI 49009
Do you know how much yearly vet visits cost - and food, and toys? The ASPCA estimates the annual cost of a large dog to be $780, and a cat is $575. Of course the monetary commitment fluctuates somewhat depending on an animal's size and specific medical needs, but we can guarantee that you will be spending a significant amount on him each year. Do you have time to exercise with your pet? Some dogs have more energy than others, but most would benefit from daily walks. Even cats are better off when their owners are able to set aside daily time for play. Make sure you can give a pet the attention he craves and deserves.
Have you decided that you are ready to adopt? Find out how you can meet our pets in person. You can also look at photos and read descriptions of some of our animals who are anxiously waiting for their new homes:
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
