Why Strategic Tech Abandonment Is Key to Moving Forward
Sometimes the only way to make progress is to leave something behind.
As pressure mounts to better prepare our students for increasingly competitive 21st-century careers, it's impossible to overstate the importance of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
In a report delivered to Congress earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Commerce said that over a 10-year period, from 2000 to 2010, STEM jobs grew at a rate (7.9 percent) more than twice that of non-STEM jobs (2.6 percent). That's pretty compelling evidence. But it's hardly the whole story.
As employers and schools focus more on sustainability, teachers and students are taking note of STEM's role in the environment.
Want a clearer picture of the importance of STEM in schools? Check out this infographic from the National Environmental Education Foundation.
Here are a few things that surprised me:

Every year, the World celebrates Malaria Day on 25th of April. From now until 2015, the Global community has agreed on the theme: INVEST IN THE FUTURE: DEFEAT MALARIA. This theme reflects the need for firm accelerated action to defeat malaria as we move towards the deadline set for the Millennium Development Goals.
Over the past decade, countries in the African Region have made commendable progress in the prevention and control of malaria. The World Malaria Report 2012 indicates a 33% decrease in malaria deaths in Africa. During the same period, an estimated 1.1 million malaria deaths were averted. It is also encouraging to note that one fifth of the countries in the region are on track to meet the 2015 target of 75% reduction in malaria burden.
Furthermore, we welcome ongoing efforts of the 8 Southern African countries ('Elimination 8') that are jointly coordinating their activities to eliminate malaria as well as other cross-border and Island initiatives to expand malaria free areas.
Although these ongoing efforts have contributed towards improvement in child survival, improved maternal health and the welfare of individuals, families, communities and affected countries, we must not forget that 90% of the 660 000 malaria deaths reported last year occurred in Africa, and that malaria still kills one African child every minute.
Increased domestic and external funding is needed to ensure that adequate quantities of commodities, including enough Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets, Insecticides, Rapid tests, microscopes, reagents and antimalarial drugs are accessible and used rationally.
Integrated delivery of anti-malarial actions with maternal and child health, immunization, hygiene, sanitation and improved housing programmes must be expanded in order to defeat malaria. Strong political commitment, strengthened regional cooperation and multidisciplinary and multisectoral collaboration are critical.
Public private partnerships and initiatives based on corporate social responsibility can complement investment by governments. In order to mitigate threat to future success, regular monitoring of insecticides and antimalarial drug resistance as well as continuous research to develop new cost-effective prevention and treatment tools will be critical.
As we commemorate World Malaria Day, I call upon everyone to join the fight to defeat malaria. Politicians, parliamentarians, governments, private sector officials, civil society, faith-based organizations and the mass media should support community-based anti-malaria efforts.
Together, we can defeat malaria! Thank you.

I have fond memories of Great Langdale as it was the place I came to climb in the Lakes when I was in my teens. However I wasn't trying to navigate a large car through the narrow lanes in those days
As it was still early when we got back we decided to go the long way back and detour to Finsthwaite at the bottom of Lake Windermere where T was born. When we got to Little Langdale we saw the Three Shires Inn,so we stopped for a coffee. it was tempting to have a pint of real ale but I knew I had a lot of narrow lanes to navigate and they are bad enough without my judgement being impaired. I remember seeing the results of test on bus drivers which showed that after a few pints they thought they could get the bus through gaps narrower than the bus!. As it was we had to hit the brakes several times and squeeze past the other vehicle.
Finsthwaite is only a small collection of houses and even the church is relatively new being built by the owner of the Stott Park Bobbin Mill, now in the care of English Heritage. We found the cottage that T recalled visiting a few years ago and took the obligatory photos then continued back to Bowness. What a relief to get back onto the main roads again.

On a similar note to Michael Lau's previous Nike 1World "Crazy" Air Force 1 release comes this inline version set for a fall 2009 release. The shoe's upper features a geometric stitching but unlike the ML version, it is not quilted and relatively smooth. White eyelets and a gumsole are other notable features of the shoe as this creates a pretty decent all-white upper of the AF1.

Wacky and Bungled Criminal Cases [Video]
Lawyers.com Editor-in-Chief Larry Bodine reports on some odd-but-true cases that show crime doesn't pay — especially when the crook's fast moves are simply foolish moves.
One criminal learned a lesson in Oklahoma: Don't try to steal a car in the heart of rodeo country, unless you're not afraid of a little rough justice. Another person used a gun to cut in line at a fast food drive-thru — only to discover it was a shortcut to jail.
Some gang members logged onto social media to plan and brag about their crimes. But it turns out that an officer who "friended" them on Facebook would definitely "like" the outcome of this case.

PR-B edges Nevis in playoffs
The Pine River-Backus Tigers edged Nevis 7-6 in their third Section 6A playoff game on Thursday, May 22, and advanced to play against Bertha-Hewitt-Verndale on Tuesday, May 27.
Earlier in the playoffs, PR-B opened with a 6-1 win over Sebeka in the North Subsection 6A round on Tuesday, May 20. The Tigers, 15-6 overall, then lost to Frazee 5-2 in the double-elimination round on Thursday, May 22, before then edging Nevis to stay alive.
Tigers 7, Nevis 6
PR-B scored one run in the top of the first and the Tigers answered with one run in the bottom of the first before Nevis took a 4-1 lead in the top of the second. PR-B tied the game 4-4 in the bottom of the fourth, but Nevis took the lead again with one run in the top of the fifth.
PR-B tied it again in the bottom of the fifth, Nevis scored one run in the top of the sixth, and the Tigers scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth to make the score 7-6. Miah Hansen, who came in as relief pitcher in the bottom of the sixth, struck out three batters in a row in the top of the seventh to seal PR-B's' win.
Annie Semmler was the winning pitcher going five innings, walking 10, giving up four hits, and allowing four earned runs. Liz Downie went 3-4 hitting, including a double and a triple and Allison Anderson was 1-2 with one RBI.
Frazee 5, Tigers 2
The Tigers were defeated by the Frazee Hornets in the first game of the double-elimination second round of playoffs due to lack of hits and inopportune walks. The Tigers only had two hits to Frazee's seven, and most of Frazee's runs came after getting a couple runners on with walks and then getting a big hit to bring them in. Hansen took the loss pitching six innings, striking out 12, walking seven and giving up seven hits. The Tigers scored their runs in the top of the third, but stranded eight runners between the first to fifth innings. Megan Felthous and Journee Howard had the only hits for the Tigers.
Tigers 6, Sebeka 1
The Tigers defeated the Sebeka Trojans 6-1 to win their first playoff game on May 20. The Tigers played a perfect game with no errors while the Trojans had five errors. Hansen again took the win pitching all seven innings, striking out six, and giving up only two hits. Felthous went 2-3.

Living in Latrobe for all my life...my wife and I feel that Falbo's has the best thin pizza in Latrobe! Great food, great people...has that home town feel!!!! Must try this place!!!!
So welcoming. They were happy we came by. Cathy gave us beer samples, and we enjoyed our choices. The whole place felt just right. Glad we found this gem.
I've been going here since I was a kid. Every time I'm home visiting I have to order their pizza at least twice. They use a thin, flaky pie crust which is amazing imo. In 35 years I've never actually ordered anything different.
This was a nice small family style place to eat. There were three of us and each had a great experience including a well prepared dinner. Not alot of parking compared to the number of tables. We arrived while a large group of regulars were eating. Within 20 min of walking in we were eating our dinners. All three of...
Needed a meal to serve about 20. Falbo's has an Italian combination plate for one that will serve two and a half. Ordered up 8 of these plates and for less than $100 including a drink at the bar and a tip had a great meal with plenty still left over
Everything was great except the old bartender, rude and very ignorant. Dry and stuffy, needs to retire! The pizza was perfect and I love the choice of wings used with the crunchy breading!
I grew up on Falbo's (used to be Joios) Pizza. Their crust is thin and sweet and their sauce is awesome. My favorite is the Mushroom, Pepperoni, Onion, Green Pepper Pizza. I order from here every chance I get.
Falbo's is the best place I've ever been to.. I could be biased though, I went to Saint Vincent college 😏💚💛
It's definitely a unique taste but try it, you won't be disappointed. I eat here every time I'm in Latrobe for a visit, it's a must! Best pizza in town! Really good homemade salad dressings too...salad and pizza, great combo!
Living in Latrobe all our lives until 2000 when we moved to Chicagoland. Just returned from a trip back to Latrobe and first thing we had to do when arriving was call in for a large pepperoni pizza and salad to go. Pizza is consistently good, cooked properly, fresh toppings and a reasonable price. Servers are always friendly and helpful....

Ripoff Report

Austin Bizmart Non payment of freight charges San Marcos Texas
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Austin Bizmart used a logistics company to move its freight from its warehouse to customer locations. The company did not pay its bills for the movement of the freight. The owner of the company, Robert Iverson, requested that the freight company place his account in collections. His customers were unaware that the freight they had paid for was not being paid for. Be aware that major freight companies now know that Austin Bizmart does not pay its bills and any future shipments are subject to being held until the outstanding debt is paid. The company has tried to use Ebay in the past, and Ebay is also aware of the situation.

Austin Bizmart
SUBMITTED: Friday, November 22, 2013POSTED: Friday, November 22, 2013
Austin Bizmart has been utilizing a reputable, well-known freight company for the past three months, in lieu of it's former freight provider. Mr. Robert Iverson has, in fact, paid for each of his shipments up front, prior to the truck even picking up his freight.
Furthermore, Mr. Iverson has incurred additional billing post shipment, as is customary in freight, for weight discrepancies or freight class adjustments, which he has promptly paid.
It seems to me that a potential lack of communication and/or service failure due to improper account management from Mr. Iverson's former freight provider may play a major factor in this grievance.
Austin Bizmart is a reputable, quickly expanding company that sells quality equipment to buyers. These negative accusations aimed at Austin Bizmart and Robert Iverson are clearly erroneous.

Karaoke towns to hill tribe villages
Guides are required for any trip outside Kengtung and can be organised through your hotel if you haven't picked one up in Tachileik.
If you have your own transport you ought to be able to stop at various points along the Tachileik-Kengtung road for hikes to adjacent villages, though the closer you get to Kengtung the less it's likely to be frowned upon by the authorities.
For travelling around the area motorbike taxis generally go for about 10-15,000 kyat per day and tuk tuks 30-35,000 but obviously it depends on where you want to go. For a car or minivan count on $50 at least.
Mongla (Monglar)
The larger town of Mongla (Monglar) close to the Chinese border has tourist licensed hotels, though you wouldn't go there to discover the ethnic groups.
Mongla is popular with bargain seeking Chinese visitors and gambling Thais. Described by some Burmese as the 'Vegas of Shan State' it is also, we're told, known as the 'anus of China' by certain Chinese and the reasons for going there would include: karaoke, casino visits, an extremely tacky cultural park where you can visit 'traditional' houses and photograph 'traditional' inhabitants (though apparently many of the Akha and Lahu are merely dressed up local Shan) and of course the chance to take in a 'ladyboy show'. (The Thai ones are reportedly much more professional than the Burmese ones.)
Mongla is about an hour by car on a decent road if you really feel the need to go there.
Sham villages and Dhat Zoam Doi
Some of the traditional Shan villages located in the surrounding valleys are scenic, interesting spots and some still practise traditional crafts such as pottery.
A road trip to the hilltop Dhat Zoam Doi monastery can include some very picturesque Shan settlements. The monastery is accessible by road though the latter part isn't paved and may be a bit dodgy in the rainy season. The large monastery is a recent construction and is also an important study and meditation centre and while the central shrine – not accessible to women – is attractive, the best part about the visit is the spectacular view.
Driving time is 40 minutes or so from Kengtung and beyond the monastery the track continues to an Enn village. A trip to Dat Zoam also usually includes a stop at an Akhu village, Wan Sai, close to the road.
A final local destination touted in Kengtung is nearby Loimwe – a small, British period hill-station lying around 90 minutes' drive southeast of town.
There was never a large British population in these remote parts and the hill-station isn't very impressive compared to say Pyin U Lwin. There's an old church and a few crumbling buildings but the best part is the scenic drive up there and views from the top. Basic food is on hand but there is no accommodation available.

People of the Book
By Geraldine Brooks
Viking, 372 pages, $25.95.
In her new novel, "People of the Book," Geraldine Brooks compresses six centuries of history and transforms them into a fast-moving mystery novel. Brooks's engaging, intensely researched historic tale is based on the story of the Sarajevo Haggadah, a book that originated in pre-Inquisition Spain and lives today under lock and key in Sarajevo, Bosnia.
In real life, the Sarajevo Haggadah is a book unlike any other, not simply because of its exalted place in that embattled city but also for simple aesthetic reasons: A large book with illuminated biblical drawings painted on parchment with handwritten Hebrew lettering, the Sarajevo Haggadah was made in the manner of a handcrafted, expensive journal. Moreover, the book's history is more than a dramatic one; it mirrors the story of a segment of a population that isn't often highlighted: Jews who trace their roots from Spain, North Africa and the Mediterranean region who had lived among a friendly Islamic community, even ruled by benign Islamic leaders, for centuries.
The novel's protagonist is Hannah Heath, a hard-working expert in rare books. In 1996, Hannah flies to Sarajevo from her native Australia, at the completion of the Balkan War, to analyze and restore the Sarajevo Haggadah. It's a journey that unleashes h er imagination, as she wonders where this book might have been through the ages. It also sets off her own soul-searching, sparking a love interest with a Bosnian Muslim who is the chief curator of Bosnia's National Museum, and it forces a cataclysmic break with her mother, a world-renowned surgeon who considers Hannah's art-restoration work a waste of time. But Hannah is intrigued and keeps going, finding clues in the book's pages — a piece of an insect wing, a white hair, salt crystals and wine stains — that weave a tale of centuries.
Historians believe that the Sarajevo Haggadah first surfaced in Spain's medieval Jewish community and exited that country along with the Jews who were expelled in 1492. The book, like the wandering and dispersed Jewry who sought to keep their faith and communities intact, found its way around the globe, from Italy in the 1500s to Sarajevo in the 1800s. A Bosnian Islamic scholar hid it from the Nazis, and more recently a Bosnian Muslim — a librarian who hid it in a bank vault — rescued it for a second time during the 1990s Balkan War, which Brooks covered as a reporter for The Wall Street Journal.
Though "People of the Book" is a terrifically good read, one can't help but sense a moral lurking beneath the plot: the need to highlight the historic precedent of Jews and Muslims getting along, allowing each community to thrive in tolerance and understanding. In fact, the moral feels a bit heavy-handed, and sometimes the storyline seems to fit too neatly into this feel-good set-up.
"I had to remind myself that Islam had once swept north as far as the gates of Vienna; that when the haggadah had been made, the Muslims' vast empire was the bright light of the Dark Ages, the one place where science and poetry still flourished, where Jews, tortured and killed by Christians, could find a measure of peace," Hannah reflects as she engages in the restoration. Indeed, the mystery of Bosnia's conflict is that ethnic and religious warfare broke out in a country where religion was always downplayed, with its cities, like Sarajevo and Mostar, known more for their bars than for their mosques. Though today's Sarajevo has been rebuilt in the manner of its tolerant past, the kind of enlightened Islam and religious diversity that the region once exemplified is of little consequence in the overall scheme of things as religious fundamentalism heats up the globe.
Yet while this novel is a tome to rationality, it's also about discovering one's own Jewish identity. From the Marranos in Portugal and Venice, who publicly hid their Jewishness as a response to the Inquisition but privately kept up Jewish ritual and connection, to a key character in the novel who makes a personal discovery about Jewish identity, "People of the Book" chronicles the diversity of Jewishness as much as it celebrates the multi-ethnicity of a lost Ottoman world.

John worked diligently to resolve a traffic violation. He kept me informed and in the loop during the entire process, and he appreciated my suggestions and thoughts regarding the case.
Posted by Ed
Mr. Kormanik was great to work with. Although I had a fairly easy case, I was not able to give him much time to prepare for it. He still accepted it with only a few days notice over Christmas week. To top it off, he charged me roughly half of what I was expecting to pay. I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much for your help.
Posted by Paul
I've worked with many different people in my professional career. I have never met anyone as attentive to detail, organized, meticulous and professional or as knowledgeable as John Kormanik. He helped me through two very difficult and different cases. Every necessary detail and part of these cases was handled with extreme care and concern. I felt safe and protected during each case. John truly is motivated by justice and I am extremely grateful for all he did for me. I would recommend him as an attorney to anyone.

GM bright red and flame red the same?
I've seen the same code for both but if they're the same why differnt names?
In the past, I have seen the same color have different names, depending on the car model it was used on.
If the code is the same, that gives the mixing formula. I would bet they are the same. Ask your paint store to be sure.
Names of colors can be very tricky, don't ever go by them. And don't ever pick a color from a chip or something like that without buying a small sample and spraying it out on a large panel to get a good idea of what that color is.
I sure learned the hardway on my second paint job I ever did. Wow, did I learn the hard way.
I know 2 guys that have the the color on two different cars a 57 belair and a 59 vette and you are right different name put them side by side and they are exactly the same color not sure why the different name
Thanks guys.
Brian, I did the same thing knowing not to go by a chip book but did it anyway. It's a little work to do a test panel but not as much as a complete re-paint. Made me feel like an idiot.
Usually the different names are attributed to the different "lines". Chevy will call it one name while GMC will call it another.
I had a color chip book from the sixties that had all the names under each chip and they were always different, very differnet. It depends on what the marketing dept of the particular line wanted to "sell".
Chevy may call black "Black Ghost" while Buick would call it something like "Midnight black" while Cadillac would be "Tuxedo Black".
It's all in the marketing dept, as with just about anything we buy.

|Almanac Pumpkin Sour (2015)
punkybrewster (40) California | December 28, 2015
Go with the right expectations. Selection is ok but staff knowledge is very hit and miss.
danbierman (9) California | August 23, 2011
Service is mediocre, some of the employees know their beer, others are clueless. Asked a guy at the counter if they had Parabola in stock and he didnt even know what it was. Selection is average at best. Get some good stuff in, such as the aforementioned Parabola. Prices are average, not great but reasonable. Overall a decent stop if you want some run of the mill craft beer, but if your looking for some rare stuff this is not the place for you.
CampesinoTino (71) Seattle, Washington | January 12, 2010| Updated February 4, 2010
Its your typical chain store with friendly, eager-to-please employees constantly asking if you need any help and a clean, orderly environment. They have an extensive selection of craft beers and I can always find a shopping carts worth to buy. Hopefully they will expand their selection someday to carry offerings from AleSmith and Russian River.
fidel (114) Livermore, California | September 7, 2009| Updated September 17, 2009
Same old thing for the most part. Did find a few low level beers I had been looking for.
mrhoppy (226) Santa Clara, California | July 1, 2009
A small BevMo just down the street from Jacks Brewing. A personal Fav!
beerguy101 (75) Newark, California | July 13, 2008
Not the best BevMo when it comes to beer selection. For some reason they cant or wont carry Orval. Besides that they do have the normal selection of beer.

General information about cyanotoxins and their health effects
What are cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins and where do they come from?
Cyanobacteria (also called blue-green algae) are water-dwelling bacteria that are able to generate their own energy through photosynthesis (the process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy captured from the sun into chemical energy that can be used to fuel the organism's activities). Under warm, still or slow moving water conditions with high levels of nutrients like phosphate and nitrogen, cyanobacteria can reproduce very rapidly. This rapid population growth creates "blooms" that can appear as visible scum on the surface of lakes and rivers. Cyanobacteria can grow in both marine and fresh water; however, only freshwater varieties can grow in lakes and rivers that communities use as sources of drinking water. Cyanotoxins are naturally occurring toxins produced by several species of cyanobacteria under certain conditions. The types of conditions that cause cyanobacteria to produce toxins are not well understood.
At what levels do cyanotoxins in drinking water become a health concern?
There are no federal standards for cyanotoxins in drinking water, but other states and countries have developed drinking water standards and guidelines for various cyanotoxins. Oregon has adopted provisional health-based guideline values for the four cyanotoxins of greatest concern in our drinking water. The four cyanotoxins are: anatoxin-a, cylindrospermopsin, microcystins and saxitoxins (as shown in
Table 1
). Microcystins and saxitoxins are two classes of cyanotoxins that each include several variations. In cases where microcystins or saxitoxins occur, Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Drinking Water Services (DWS) recommends measuring total microcystins or total saxitoxins before comparing the sample value against the provisional guideline values (see
Table 1
How can cyanotoxins affect my health?
The four cyanotoxins affect different target organs and have varying health effects (as shown in
Table 2
). Generally, cyanotoxins can be broken down into two categories: hepatotoxins (those that target the liver) and neurotoxins (those that target the nervous system). Microcystins and cylindrospermopsin are primarily hepatotoxins, although cylindrospermopsin can also damage the kidneys. Anatoxin-a and saxitoxins are neurotoxins.
Will I be able to taste or smell a difference in the water if cyanotoxins are present?
Maybe. Cyanotoxins themselves do not have a taste or odor. However, cyanobacteria often (though not always) produce other non-toxic chemical by-products that have a strong taste and odor. Two of the more common chemical by-products that create tastes and odors are geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB).
One study in the midwestern United States found that 91 percent of 23 lakes with toxic cyanobacterial blooms also had taste and odor present in the water. Because cyanobacteria can and sometimes do produce toxins without causing taste or odor problems, you cannot tell whether or not cyanotoxins are present by smelling or tasting the water. However, if you detect taste and odor problems such as geosmin or MIB in the water, there is a very strong likelihood that cyanobacteria are also in the water. Testing the water for the presence of cyanobacteria or cyanotoxins is the only way to know for sure.
Things to know when using water contaminated with cyanotoxins
Can I wash my food with cyanotoxin-contaminated water?
If the level of any of the four cyanotoxins in your drinking water is above the drinking water guideline value in
Table 1
, you should not use it to wash, prepare or cook your food.
Can I irrigate or water my garden or crops with cyanotoxin-contaminated water?
Yes. Water containing cyanotoxin levels less than the non-drinking water use guideline values (shown in
Table 1
) can be used for irrigation as long as precautions are taken to make sure no children or animals drink the irrigation water. Allow food crops irrigated with cyanotoxin-contaminated water to dry completely in sunlight before harvesting and eating it. Water should not be used for irrigation if cyanotoxin levels are greater than the non-drinking water use guideline values (
Table 1
What about bathing, showering and brushing my teeth?
Cyanotoxins do not easily enter the body through the skin. Bathing, swimming, showering and brushing teeth with water that has levels less than the non-drinking water use guidelines (
Table 1
) is safe as long as you avoid swallowing the water. Supervise small children when bathing, swimming, or brushing teeth to ensure that they do not accidentally swallow the water. Don't use water for these purposes if it has cyanotoxin levels greater than the non-drinking water use guidelines (
Table 1
What about washing dishes, utensils and food preparation areas?
Only a very small amount of water clings to smooth surfaces. Water containing cyanotoxin levels up to the non-drinking water use guidelines (shown in
Table 1
) can be safely used to wash and sanitize dishes, tables and eating utensils.
What about general cleaning and laundry?
Very little water remains on washed surfaces and in laundered fabrics. Because these articles are not placed in the mouth, water having cyanotoxin levels less than the non-drinking water use guidelines (shown in
Table 1
) can be safely used for general cleaning and washing of clothing, bedding and linens.
What about my pets?
Dogs are especially sensitive to cyanotoxins. The Harmful Algae Bloom Surveillance (HABS) Program has a brochure on animal health and cyanotoxins available online:
Animal Safety Alert - Blue Green Algae Blooms (pdf)
. For additional information,
contact the HABS Program
Learning about cyanotoxin levels in your drinking water
How can people on municipal or public water systems learn about the levels of cyanotoxins in their drinking water?
Because cyanotoxins are not federally regulated contaminants, public drinking water providers are not required to routinely monitor drinking water for cyanotoxins. However, DWS strongly encourages providers who are potentially affected by harmful algae blooms to monitor and test for cyanotoxins weekly until the bloom is gone. The public will be notified if toxin levels are found over the drinking water guidelines (shown in
Table 1
). If you are concerned about cyanotoxins entering your drinking water, contact your water provider to inquire about testing and results.
What about private surface water intake owners?
If you draw in-home water directly from a river, stream or lake through a private water intake, you will need to watch for signs of cyanobacterial blooms upstream from or near the intake. Testing your water for cyanotoxins is the only way to know for sure if the water is safe to drink. Pictures of cyanobacterial blooms are available on the
HABS website
You can
sign up for email notifications
from the HABS Program to receive notification whenever a managed Oregon waterbody has a cyanobacterial bloom. If you have identified what you believe to be a bloom upstream from your private water intake, or you want to get your water tested for cyanotoxins in the event of an identified bloom, contact the Center for Health Protection by phone at 971-673-0400 or by email at
. We can help you decide which toxins to test for and which labs to use.
Removing cyanotoxins from drinking water
For public drinking water system operators:
Cyanotoxins can be reduced or removed entirely from drinking water, but treatment processes are expensive and require careful maintenance and monitoring. Current treatments proven to reduce cyanotoxins include activated carbon, slow sand filtration, conventional filtration, membrane filtration, advanced UV and ozone. Chlorine is not an effective treatment for cyanotoxins. If installing additional treatment for your system is not possible, you should consider using a different source for drawing water. Water to be used for drinking, beverage-making or food preparation can be obtained from a known safe source and used on a temporary basis. Non-drinking uses of water pose much less hazard, but are not entirely safe if levels of cyanotoxins are greater than those shown in
Table 1
Not all kinds of treatment are effective, and no single treatment method can remove all contaminants from water. Before deciding on treatment equipment, contact
for information and advice or visit the
Algae Resources for Drinking Water
web page.
For private surface water intake owners:
Can boiling water destroy cyanotoxins?
NO! Boiling contaminated water does not remove cyanotoxins and can, in fact, increase toxin levels.
Are there private well treatment options?
In-home treatment methods generally have not been proven effective in removing cyanotoxins from drinking water. If your water is found to have cyanotoxins at levels greater than the drinking water guidelines (shown in
Table 1
), OHA recommends finding an alternate source of drinking water until the cyanobacterial bloom responsible for the toxins subsides.
For more information

Law firms arrived on the advertising scene at a time when people were already getting bored with adverts. In the early 1990s the legal sector was finally given the go-ahead to use advertisements to attract clients and build their reputations, but advertising was already long in the tooth, with a history stretching back thousands of years – it is often called the world's second oldest profession.
In modern times, the saturation of every form of media with advertising messages led one luminary to comment: "Consumers are like cockroaches. The more you spray them, the more resistant they become."
To get your message noticed, you have to use increasingly extreme, and some would say desperate, techniques to stand out from the crowd. And as law firms consolidate and become increasingly competitive, their advertising has become steadily more extreme. They have mimicked some of the methods used by experienced advertisers targeting the youth market – such as French Connection's foul-mouthed 'FCUK' campaign. But middle aged senior partners from the sheltered world of legal services have been left looking somewhat out of place with their own shock ads and can be as embarrassing as watching William Hague 'getting down' at the Notting Hill Carnival, complete with reversed baseball cap.
There is no limit to how low law firms will go to get their message across. After a recent spate of bizarre, offensive and downright poor campaigns from law firms, legal marketeers must be wondering where it will all end.
Divorce lawyer Henry Brookman's 'Ditch the bitch' campaign obeyed the basic rules of shock advertising – it tried to be humourous and use swear words that might get certain people riled, and it milked the publicity from the campaign as much as possible. That way, a little money can go a long way in garnering maximum effect, which in this case is the all-important name recognition that so many law firms crave.
But Brookman claims that he was more surprised than anybody by the effects of the campaign. Posters featuring the 'Ditch the bitch' slogan appeared in just 50 male toilets in wine bars in the City, and corresponding "All men are bastards" posters appeared in ladies loos. The campaign was revealed by The Lawyer and then picked up in the national press, and reviled by the Daily Mail. Brookman says that the campaign more than met its objective, unexpectedly attracting a high number of inquiries from people who had read about it in the press rather than those responding to the posters. "It would be fair to say I achieved the objective in a different way than I had envisaged, but it worked," he says. "The important thing with a provocative campaign is that if you mean it to be funny, it ought to be. If you can't add a bit of humour, it's better to be cautious – I have been selective with the ideas I have been looking at since then."
And if you found 'Ditch the bitch' offensive, you can be thankful that Brookman has been more censorious with other campaign ideas. Brookman says that he has rejected some advertising ideas because he felt they might upset clients, or stir up bad feelings in the already difficult arena of divorce. Brookman says that his great advantage is that he is a sole trader in a single-specialism practice. If there were other partners and other areas involved, what might be appropriate for a divorce lawyer would project the wrong image for another area of business.
Advertising experts say that in these days of seemingly endless supplies of any of the goods or services your heart desires, just getting people to remember your name is work enough, especially if your advertising budget is small. It does not matter too much about the image you project – such brand-building work can be undertaken at a later date, preferably when a prospective client is either on the phone or sitting in your office listening to your highly professional sales patter – but there are limits to how offensive you can be, as people can be put off.
There is no stopping some law firms once they get the bit between their teeth. Shoosmiths, not content with an advertising campaign that it has run regularly in Country Life, also ended up sponsoring the category for the best overall retailer in the FHM/Menswear magazine awards. But the sponsorship was quite accidental. Gary Assim, partner and national head of the intellectual property and IT group, says: "It approached us. For a long time, we've had close links with Menswear magazine and Drapers Record because our intellectual property clients are either fashion brand owners or retailers. We'd started talking to trade papers at the time. Menswear had been running awards for two years, but one of the sponsors pulled out with six weeks to go. They were scratching their heads and they called me to suggest we act as a sponsor. It was a fantastic opportunity because it was such a good deal."
Other law firms may balk at the cost – some £15,000-£20,000 a year for the three-year sponsorship – but Assim says it had a highly beneficial effect in terms of staff morale and recruitment. "There doesn't seem to be any great benefit, but internally we are 1,200 people, the majority of whom are pretty young, except the senior partners. They think we're not a stuffy legal practice, a closed legal firm in the old sense. The internal PR has been incredibly beneficial," says Assim.
It all sounds rather painful, with senior partners trying to get hip with their young staff, but just because it hurts doesn't mean it has not worked. After all, one of the most successful TV advertising campaigns of recent years was the kitsch and wooden ambassador's party advert for Ferrero Rocher chocolates, which was so achingly bad it achieved cult status.
In terms of rebranding, law firms have to tread a delicate tightrope between grabbing the attention of their staff and clients and attracting ridicule from them, or worse still, from the press. Many law firm marketeers are only too aware of how negative sentiment in the trade papers and even the national press can demolish much of the work carried out during a rebranding exercise.
Take the case of Hammond Suddards' (now Hammond Suddards Edge) mysteriously disappearing rebranding campaign. In autumn 1999, the firm appointed advertising agency team Saatchi, a division of Saatchi & Saatchi, to create a campaign. The campaign was dropped suddenly after only a few weeks and Hammond Suddards refused to comment on why. Some thought that the campaign was more likely to make a potential client cringe than pick up the telephone. It used the strapline 'lawyers with attitude', and had three executions which ran in the national press, playing on Hammonds' northern roots. One read: "We've done more mergers this year than tha's 'ad ciabatta butties." Other adverts were created for specific practice areas and compiled into a brochure that was sent to clients and distributed among staff, such as one promoting its alternative dispute resolution business, which read: "Should we sue our advertising agency?"
One of the most significant campaigns of recent times has to be Rowe & Maw's perimeter board advertising at the Greece v England World Cup qualifying match in June, alongside Rizla among others. It cost some £30,000, but the firm claims it worked wonders with many clients and staff, and denied it was a desperate move.
But whatever lengths law firms go in their campaigns, it is unlikely that they will ever plummet to the depths of their counterparts in another corporate services field – advertising. Direct marketing agency Grey Direct once got 35 members of staff to strip off and pose stark naked for a photograph to appear in the trade press. The advertisement brought widespread derision, though the agency insists that it showed that it was transparent and honest. Soon after, the agency changed its name to Joshua when it merged with another company.
Thankfully, the world has been spared the sight of law firm staff baring all in the name of advertising. But the day might not be too far off.
For however bad you may find some of these campaigns, it is important to never overestimate the intelligence or concentration span of the recipients of advertising messages. People really do respond to the most obvious, the corniest and the most offensive adverts. The majority of law firms crave a bit of recognition – to be known rather than to be loved. So in the struggle to get their names known, do not be surprised if law firms plummet to previously unimaginable depths.

Bonner Cornerstone Music recording artist Snatcha aka Glenroy Bonner is very excited about his latest single titled Prayer which was recorded on the Daily Bread rhythm. The single which was produced by his nephew Fontano Thompson is one of several songs off the project that is currently blowing up FM radio.
According to Snatcha Prayer is all about giving thanks to Jah for everything that he has done and continues to do for mankind each and every day.
"This tune is telling the people that no matter how rough life is we still have to give thanks to Jah for all the blessings he gives to us. It's just a natural expression of love towards the creator, that's why we call it the Prayer on it's on the Daily Bread Rhythm and you know when we were kids and we go to school we always pray and give Jah thanks for our daily bread," said the artist.
The talented singjay who is the youngest of the Bonner Brothers (Pliers, Spanner and Richie Spice) says he is confident that Prayer will help to take his career to greater heights.
"I know this tune is going to help to push my career to bigger levels, so right now I am working hard with my team to promote it. Everywhere I go people are telling me they love it and its really getting a lot of airplay, so right now it's all about pushing the Prayer while we give thanks for our Daily bread."
The Daily Bread rhythm also features songs from other artist including Richie Spice, Spanner Banner, Admiral Tibbeth, Iya Shines and Adventerous.

Beck's Hybrids Anticipates Ample Seed for 2013
Date Posted: August 6, 2012
Atlanta, IN (August 6, 2012) -– As farmers across the Midwest continue to experience record temperatures and lack of rainfall, one question still remains. Will there be an adequate supply of corn and soybean seed for the 2013 planting season? With winter production, seed currently in cold storage and this year's production, Beck's Hybrids is confident they will be able to supply customers with their 2013 seed needs.
"Because we were prepared for unfortunate weather, we're able to reassure our customers that we will have an adequate seed supply for 2013 planting," said Sonny Beck, president of Beck's Hybrids. "As an independent seed company, we can make decisions quickly, giving our customers an advantage to access the best performing seed products, developed for their farm."
How does a seed company prepare for severe weather events? Last year, like much of the seed industry, Beck's experienced a shortage in the seed corn crop. This spring, in an effort to alleviate a seed shortage, Beck's planted twice the amount of production acres across a wider geography and within a two month window, from April to June.
Many of the soils in Beck's production acres have excellent water holding capacity. Production acres with lighter soils are irrigated. "To achieve the same amount of seed we produced last year, our production acres need to average 22 Bu./A., which is about half of a normal year," said Jason Morehouse, production manager. "And right now, that is what we're averaging. Fortunately, over the past two weeks we've received some very timely and significant rainfall. This, plus carryover seed and seed from winter production should bring our production totals to 150 percent, which is 50 percent more than the seed our customers used last year."
August is the critical time for soybean seed production. Unlike corn, soybeans pollinate over a six-week period, allowing for more opportunity to receive good pollinating weather. Beck's Hybrids normally plans for 30 to 40 percent more soybean acres than expected sales.
"Our customers not only rely on us to deliver the best performing products, but to provide for their livelihood," said Beck. "We are farmers, too and we understand the challenges our customers face."
______________________________________________________________________ Beck's Hybrids is a family-owned and operated seed company that serves farmers in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky. According to a recent media survey, Beck's ranks as the sixth largest seed company in the United States and the only one in the top six that is family-owned, making Beck's the largest retail, family-owned seed company in the United States.

BATON ROUGE - Lawmakers have killed a measure that would have allowed public high school students to be surveyed about sex-related risk behaviors.
The House voted 55-38 against the proposal by Baton Rouge Rep. Pat Smith, a Democrat, after raising concerns about children being corrupted by the questions.
Under the bill, the state education department would be allowed to ask questions on sex health as part of a national survey addressing teen risk behaviors. Currently, the survey includes questions about drug use, asthma and other health matters, but not sexual activity.
Smith says the survey would help collect information on teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, in a state with high rates of both.
Opponents say it could lead to more sex among youth.

Disney Infinity puts the pedal to the metal with the Toy Box Racing trailer
In Disney Infinity's Toy Box mode, players can create their own world. After unlocking virtual toys, characters, buildings, gadgets and more, players can bring them into Toy Box mode and make their own games.
One of the things you'll be able to do is make your own races. From track layout and obstacles to the win logic, if you can imagine it, you can build it. The new Disney Infinity trailer shows off what racing will look like in Toy Box mode. Who would win a race between Lightning McQueen and Dash?
The track customization looks amazing and sprawling with tons of possibilities. It's almost overwhelming watching the trailer -- mostly because I can't wait to get my hands on it. To rub salt into the wound, Disney Infinity would've been releasing early in June. Now, Disney Infinity will come to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, 3DS, Wii and Wii U on August 18.

Yes, Katie, Childlessness Is Still Taboo
One of the best protest signs I've seen lately was at Saturday's 'National Protest Against the War on Women.' It reads: "I can't believe I still have to protest this shit." I"ll amend that in my response to the question, Katie Roiphe raises, of whether or not there's a taboo around being childfree. Yes, there is, and I can't believe we're still having this conversation.
On my next birthday, I'll be 34, which, from what I understand, is around the time my biological clock is supposed to start screaming at me, although I know folks for whom this screaming started a while ago.
But I've known I didn't want children since I was one myself. I'll be honest: There's nothing attractive about child-rearing to me. And I hope that if I ever start to hear this alleged siren of breeding, I'll be able to hold the fact that my life right now is the life I want, and that once children are had, I can't go back in time and get that life again. (Nope, not even when they're 18 or 30.)
If there is one thing I've learned in 33 years of living in a female body, it is that every decision I make that's not in line with traditionally accepted gender roles will be pathologized. Without children, Roiphe suggests that I can't even be a grown up in the right way. Apparently, what makes someone a grown up is doing what people tell you to do — even if you know, deep down, that it's not what you want or what would be good for you.
The treatment of men who choose to be childfree is very different than that of women. (There's a much larger conversation here about race and class, which I'd be remiss if I didn't at least acknowledge.) For many men, reproduction is contextualized in terms of proving masculinity by spreading seed, about making sure there 's another generation, replicating yourself — in short, exercising and perpetuating power. For manywomen, it's about nurturing, caretaking and selflessness. You are considered a "real" grown up female when you become willing to take care of someone else, and when you accept that as the purest, most correct version of femininity.
So, yes, the taboo exists, and we feed it like a hungry newborn — with our obsession with baby bumps and the uncritical assertion that "motherhood is the most important job in the world." Motherhood, not fatherhood, not parenthood. It's not only the childfree who are regarded as subversive, dangerous, baffling, pathological; it's anyone who challenges the idea that raising children is the ultimate form of satisfaction, the most beautiful and important work in the world. And by the way, that includes parents.

Would it be fair to the users that posted one "picture", if someone that posted two or more won? Also, can we expect to see a screen shot using random.org, as proof of the random winner?
Why not have both winners be random? Saying that you're going to choose one is like saying, I'm going to choose my friend or the person I like the best.

'TISWHAT SEASON?! If the heat has you craving sweater weather, you can get a head start on the fall beer onslaught with the early arrival of Sierra Nevada's Tumbler Autumn Brown Ale, Harpoon's UFO Pumpkin, and Magic Hat's "Ourtoberfest" entry, Hex (perhaps Sierra Nevada's winter wonder Celebration Ale will hit shelves by Columbus Day). And speaking of Sierra Nevada, grab a Beer Camp sampler (or three) before they're gone (the stock was in the single digits at the stores I checked with last week). As Josh noted a few weeks ago, all four selections are top-notch; the Weizenbock is particularly impressive, and opened the door to a style I hadn't tried before.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK "There are a lot of people out there in the world who like good beer, but they just don't know it yet." _Peter Egelston, owner of Smuttynose Brewing Co.
