Waste Management
Hazardous waste regulations include requirements for waste minimization efforts, as noted in the table below. Efforts at pollution prevention, source reduction, recycling and reclamation can all fall under the umbrella of waste minimization. Some possibilities for minimization efforts include:
- adoption of microscale techniques by laboratories
- substitution of less hazardous and/or more recyclable materials in any application
- laboratory solvent distillation
- chemical inventory management
- replacement of mercury thermometers with alcohol thermometers for most applications
- changing management of parts washer operations
Also, the UW– Madison Laboratory Safety Guide has a chapter on "Pollution Prevention and Waste Minimization" that provides many more ideas.
|Generator Category
|Waste minimization requirement
|Requirement met by:
|Large quantity generator
|Small quantity generator
|Very Small Quantity Generators that use the hazardous waste manifest
This publication was prepared for environmental, health and safety staff at University of Wisconsin System campuses, to assist in finding resources and information for regulatory compliance. It is not intended to render legal advice.

Marc Faber Thinks Investors Should Buy Gold as an Insurance Policy
Posted by: CanadianValue (IP Logged)
Date: January 8, 2013 09:47AM
I still don't "get" how to value gold, other than to know it is a proxy for the confidence people have in our fiscal system.
I do know that I wish I'd owned it over the last ten years.
Marc Faber discusses his latest findings:
- Smaller Asian markets have performed very well since the March 2009 low and likely won't do well in 2013.
- He thinks the loose money that is sloshing around the world will find its way to Asian markets that have underperformed (China, Vietnam, Japan).
- Faber is very negative on 2013, so he doesn't think investors have to own stocks.
- Government intervention in the financial markets are making it extremely hard to make predictions about direction of the markets.
- He doesn't particularly like any asset class at this point in time.
- Faber thinks gold could drop 10% in the short term, but he keeps owning it as an insurance policy.
Stocks Discussed: SPY, DJI, QQQ,

Barefoot Contessa Family Style
I have now purchased all the Ina Garten Cookbooks. I discovered that several of my co-workers have her books and love them and I was not disappointed. Every recipe has a photo with it so you know what the dish is supposed to turn out like. If you never cook a single recipe, you will enjoy just reading these books.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Very well
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? I had already looked at the actual book, so I did not pay attention to the site description
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Came in excellent condition

Shenandoah Crossing Resort
However, when we got to about 50 miles before Richmond, all of the sudden, we lost the power steering. Terry managed to pull into a deserted parking lot, then went back to the engine to check it out. There was so much fluid all over the place, he thought it must have burst a hose. A call to the Good Sam Roadside Assistance advised us that since it was the Friday afternoon of the July 4th weekend, it was not going to be easy to find a place that could do the repair
Anyway, two hours later the tow truck arrived and the driver discovered that it wasn't a broken hose after all. The filter had come loose, spilling most of the fluid and was barely hanging on.
That was when we also discovered that the parts store where Terry could buy the necessary steering fluid was just a few blocks down the street. If we had lost the steering power a couple of minutes later, we might have been spared the long wait, because all it took was fluid and a new filter and we were on the road again.
We spent the long weekend of the 4th at a really nice park called Shenandoah Crossing, near Gordonsville in mid-Virginia. It was more like a Country Club with golf (Terry played a great round), horseback riding, lots of sports fields and, of course, swimming pools. Terry also tried fishing but not much was biting. I meanwhile, got out my sewing machine and made three little summer dresses for myself.
They also put on a great fireworks display that really surprised us. On Maui, we don't have the huge displays that big cities put on, so we were shocked at the quantity and quality of their display that was much better than anything on Maui, or a lot of other places, I'm sure.

Perhaps, but I enjoy this nd it solves several problems. For instance:
It does automate them in a nice way. The encoder is at the end of the column not near the front so you can do what ever you like with the column trim without the dealings of mechanical stuff.
Frankly turn signals which shut off are nice.
Turn signals which automatically go off after 5 min if you left them on.
The encoder works better then a cam. With a cam you often are sitting on a spot where you have to turn the wheel more to get the mechanism to trigger; not with an encoder.
With the circuit controlling the turn signal, it also controls the flashers. This means you can do things like have turn signals and flashers. For instance in a left turn I am thinking of a sequence such as "Flash Flash" "Turn" "Turn" "Flash" Flash".
I can also mix lights with marker lights. With a lights on signal, I can turn on a marker and flash the same marker.
I can also do a marker where it is half bright as a marker and 2x as bright for flashing.
Once the circuit is designed, it really is not that complex. Put on encoder, plug in a few items and your done.
We are not in hot ridding to pull parts off the shelf at auto zone and do it the same everyone has done it before. New ideas are the very essence of what we do.

Scientists have inched closer todeveloping a 'Harry Potter' style invisibility cloak after devising a revolutionary new method to make objects disappear within a limited range of light waves.
Researchers at the University of Texas developed a thin material called a 'mantle cloak' which makes an object 'invisible' after being wrapped in it. However, the effect only applies to a limited range of light waves — specifically microwaves. Scientists covered a cylinder with the material. Microwave detectors could no longer plainly 'see' it.

Mayweather, Guerrero fathers almost go at it
Photos: Esther Lin/SHOWTIME
Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. and Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero won't go at it for three days, but their trainers, who also are their fathers, Floyd Sr. and Ruben Guerrero were ready to throw down during a heated, intense verbal exchange at Wednesday's press conference in Las Vegas. This time, Ruben was the instigator. Before he even made it to the podium to speak, he was hurling insults at Floyd Jr., who was seated at the dais. Later, it was Floyd Sr.'s turn. After the speaking portion of the press event had concluded, the fighters had already posed for photographs and Floyd Jr. was doing an interview with Showtime when Floyd Sr. approached the stage, screaming at Ruben every step of the way. Floyd Sr. had watched the proceedings from the media section (at Floyd Jr.'s insistence). Once he made it on the stage, the fathers were quickly separated and order was restored.
Ruben Guerrero (On the disagreement and Floyd Sr. not being on the dais): "I'll hurt him, man. If I hit him one time, I don't want to be responsible. He opened his mouth first. He opened the can of worms. If he's going to talk, I'll do it for real. They should've let him hang up here like a real man."
Floyd Mayweather Sr. (Regarding his son prohibiting him from sitting at the dais): "He knows how I am. He knows I'm the kind of guy I am that I won't be listening to that B.S. and that I'm gonna attack."
"The head trainer is always supposed to be up there on the podium. I guess they didn't want me up there. Why is his daddy up there and I'm down here?"
(On whether the Ruben Guerrero tiff may spill over to Saturday): "The thing about it, when his son gets his butt whooped, you know he's not going to want to get his whooped too. I don't think it's going to spill over anywhere. I think the crap's going to be over with once his son gets whooped."
Floyd Mayweather (Regarding his decision to keep Floyd Sr. off the dais): "Just to avoid any conflict. That's why I let my father sit down low, in the audience, because I don't want any conflict. I'm trying to avoid anyone getting hurt. If I'm up here and Robert's up here, and my dad and his dad get to fighting, and they fall on him or fall on me, somebody's finger gets broke or something happens, somebody gets cut, then we're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars down the drain
"I think I made a smart decision. I don't have to fight his father. I'm here to fight the fighter. Like I told my dad, just carry yourself in a classy way."
(Regarding the addition of his father to his corner after the Miguel Cotto fight): "It was an exciting fight, but I feel there are certain things my father can see that maybe Roger can't. When you have diabetes, your vision gets bad. I can't afford for somebody's vision to be bad in a big fight like this."
Robert Guerrero (Regarding his father's tirade): "My dad is pumped up. That's the real Mr. ALL ACCESS right there. It's good you have security here and the officers because he's not all talk."

You are herecontent / Anti-War Events Building to September 24th
Anti-War Events Building to September 24th
By David Swanson
On September 15, Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey and other congress members will be holding hearings on Capitol Hill on the issue of creating an exit strategy for Iraq. This event will be nine days before what organizers are hoping will be the biggest ever march against the war in Washington. Many of the same groups organizing the march on Sept. 24th have decided to hold a smaller rally in front of the White House on the 15th to support the action in Congress and the demand to get U.S. soldiers out of Iraq.
This has resulted in confusion for at least some small number of people. Here is an attempt to clarify.
There are many events happening both in Washington and around the country between now and the 24th as part of a growing movement. If you can come to DC and can only come once, come on the 24th. If possible, come on the 24th, 25th, and 26th. Take part in all of the activities that you'll find here: http://unitedforpeace.org and here: http://pdamerica.org
No buses are being organized from anywhere for the 15th. The rally at 5 p.m. that day in front of the White House will consist largely of people from DC, Maryland, Virginia, and surrounding areas who are able to easily make the trip or stop by after work. Everyone who comes will leave with a stack of flyers promoting the march on the 24th, the workshops on the 25th, and the day of lobbying and civil disobedience on the 26th.
Other events going on right now include three bus tours from Camp Casey to DC, stopping in various parts of the country and arriving in the nation's capital on the 21st. One bus will make it as far as Raleigh, N.C., by the 15th, and Ann Wright, a diplomat who resigned in opposition to the war and who served as coordinator of Camp Casey, will hop off to come up to DC and speak at the rally, before rejoining the bus for the rest of its trip.
There are also efforts going on around the country to pressure Congress Members through their district offices to oppose the war and to demand an investigation of the lies that launched it. These include a campaign demanding answer's to Cindy Sheehan's questions. And there are Camp Caseys and anti-war marches being organized around the country both on the 24th and before. Links to many of these activities are on the right side of this site: http://afterdowningstreet.org
The hearings and rally on the 15th will come four days after the Pentagon- and media-sponsored fascistic exploitation of the 9-11-2001 tragedies in the form of a march and country music concert in DC in support of killing Iraqis. There will be counter-demonstrations that day. But, more importantly, I think, there will be a popular push four days later, on the 15th, to end the war.
On that day, not only will Congresswoman Woolsey hold hearings (minority party unofficial hearings without subpoena power), but activists will hand in to congress members a stack of signatures on a petition in support of an exit plan for Iraq. You can sign the petition here: http://www.peoplespetition.org Gathering signatures on this petition is one of the more important steps that can be taken right now.
Another is to do what we will certainly try to do at the rally on the 15th and at the events of the 24-26th, namely draw the connections between Iraq and New Orleans. We have put the bulk of our nation's resources into an illegal war at the expense of everything else. We've diverted the National Guard from guarding the nation. We've enacted an energy strategy that focuses on steps to increase, rather than decrease, global warming. And even people who did not previously object to the war are now questioning Bush's priorities.

Bush's Staged New Orleans Photo Ops
Louisiana senator hits Bush 'photo opportunity'
A Chicago grand jury has indicted the President and Vice-President of the United States along with multiple high officials in the Bush administration
by Tom Flocco
Chicago -- August 2, 2005 -- TomFlocco.com -- U.S. federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's Chicago grand jury has voted perjury and obstruction of justice indictments to the following members of the Bush Administration: President George W. Bush, Vice-President Richard Cheney, Bush Chief of Staff Andrew Card, Cheney Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, former Attorney General John Ashcroft, imprisoned New York Times reporter Judith Miller and former Senior Cheney advisor Mary Matalin.
Alex Jones and Paul Joseph Watson Discuss The Scripted Pat Tillman Hoax
The staged death of Pat Tillman and how the military covered it up to manufacture another fairy story to support the illusion of the flagging 'war on terror'. Alex Jones and Paul Joseph Watson go through past examples of war propaganda in detail, from the staged Saddam statue fall to the Jessica Lynch fable.
Alex Jones Interviews Christopher Bollyn on the Popular Mechanics 9/11 Hit Piece
Christopher Bollyn uncovered the fact that Ben Chertoff, the chief editor of the Popular Mechanics 9/11 hit piece, was the cousin of Michael Chertoff, the new Homeland Security Czar.
Alex Jones Interviews David Ray Griffin
Alex talks with the author of the New Pearl Harbor. David Ray Griffin is professor of philosophy of religion at Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University and one of the co-directors of the Center for Process Studies.
9/11 Truth Expose
Alex is joined by three different guests for a two and a half hour 9/11 truth expose. Greg Szymanski and William Rodriguez discuss the controlled demolition of the twin towers. Rodriguez was a material witness to bombs going off in the basement of the north tower and his story has been blacked out by the mainstream media.
Also included is former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under President Reagan, Paul Craig Roberts, who recently went public with his doubts about the official 9/11story.
Government Insider Says Bush Authorized 911 Attacks
From Thomas Buyea
Keep in mind when reading this, that the man being interviewed is no two-bit internet conspiracy buff.
Stanley Hilton was a senior advisor to Sen Bob Dole (R) and has personally known Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz for decades. This courageous man has risked his professional reputation, and possibly his life, to get this information out to people.
The following is from his latest visit to Alex Jones' radio show.
To hear Alex's interview with Stanley Hilton -
What if:
* The Twin Towers were not hit by commercial airliners?
* The World Trade Center was brought down in a controlled demolition?

Gentle Cleanser Face and Eyes, for Normal to Dry Skin would be better classified as "gentle" if it didn't contain fragrance, but it is still an effective, detergent-free cleansing lotion for normal to dry skin not prone to blemishes. It will remove makeup and rinses fairly well, though you may find you need a washcloth for complete removal. This cleanser does not protect your skin from free radicals—that is impossible. Even to come close to achieving that, you'd have to be in an environment without oxygen, which would mean you couldn't breathe, and that wouldn't be good! There isn't any product anywhere that can stop free-radical damage; at best we can only reduce the impact. Further, in a cleanser, any ingredient that is going to provide any protection from free radicals is just rinsed down the drain.
This fluid, velvety cleanser leaves the skin clean, soft and protected against free radicals.

Caudalie Paris At-A-Glance
Strengths: Good cleansers; an excellent scrub for dry skin; air-tight packaging; a good lip balm and moisturizing mask; one truly state-of-the-art moisturizer for dry skin (one is better than none).
Weaknesses: Expensive; mundane to irritating serums, moisturizers, and eye creams; limited sun protection options; no AHA or BHA products; no products to lighten skin discolorations; several products contain irritating plant extracts.
Let's pour ourselves a glass of wine before we begin this review. Okay, now that we are adequately prepared we can, in effect, review this line without smirking. Why wine? Because Caudalie is a skin-care line whose ambience is intended to evoke the importance and value of grapes for your skin. Are you ready for this? Caudalie is in fact a term used in wine tasting; it is an actual measurement used to indicate how long the taste of a wine stays on your palate: 1 caudalie = 1 second. So, if you can still taste the wine in your mouth 1 second after swallowing it, that's 1 caudalie; 2 seconds after swallowing, that's 2 caudalie, and so on. And, supposedly, the more caudalie the wine has the more elegant and superior it is.
What does any of that have to do with skin care? From Caudalie Paris's perspective, everything, because clearly they think the grape is the cornerstone for formulating any skin-care product. After reading their information you could easily assume that Welch's Grape Juice could be used as a toner. But of course that's not what Caudalie has in mind, because it's their formulas they want you to count on, not Welch's juice.
It turns out that grape extract, grape oil, and other parts of the grape do have mounting research proving that they do have benefit for skin when applied topically. Red grapes (stem, seed, pulp, and especially the skin) contain proanthocyanidin and resveratrol, naturally occurring compounds that are considered very potent antioxidants. There is also impressive research showing how helpful these compounds are for reducing the sun's damaging effects, and that topical application plays a role in wound healing. (Sources: Photochemistry and Photobiology, March-April 2008, pages 415–421; Journal of Medicinal Food, December 2007, pages 636–642, and June 2007, pages 337–344; and Free Radical Biology and Medicine, October 2002, pages 1089–1092).
The research is significant, but (excuse me while we take another sip of wine) what's ludicrous—and disappointing—about the Caudalie products is that most of them don't contain a significant amount of grape extract, and resveratrol (the most potent compound in the grape) is entirely absent. Without question, Caudalie could have formulated products that included a larger amount of grapes and their beneficial compounds—at least it would have given more resonance to their story that the grapes in their products offer long-lasting antioxidant protection to every cell.
Getting back to the research on grapes, what's important to keep in mind is that while grapes are a great source of antioxidant protection, there are also hundreds of other plant extracts, vitamins, and minerals with potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. No single ingredient has achieved the coveted status of "best" when it comes to skin (or health) care. Almost all antioxidants appear to have some benefit for skin, and while some are indeed more stable or more potent than others, there is still no reason to get wrapped up in any single ingredient, any more than your diet should have only one food group for adequate nutrition. Plus, skin needs more than one single antioxidant; thinking otherwise is like believing you can subsist on drinking wine or eating grapes and nothing else. For skin, cell-communicating ingredients, skin-identical ingredients, sun protection, and exfoliants are all fundamental to superior skin care, yet in Caudalie's narrow view, each comes up short.
Although almost all Caudalie products contain a small amount of grapes in one form or another, they don't offer much else for skin, and several of their products contain irritating plant extracts that not only hurt skin but also work against the beneficial compounds from the grapes. In addition, no antioxidant stands much chance of helping skin if you're not protecting your skin from sunlight.
As much as Caudalie would like you to believe that their botanical cocktails are the sought-after fountain of youth, for the most part, you'd be far better off spending your money on fresh grapes, grape juice, or a vintage bottle of Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon!

What Else Should a Dog Do When Left at Home Alone? [Video]
I've said it before, I'll say it again right now, and I will continue to say it until my final breath…there are two things in this world that will NEVER be NOT funny…a dog pooping and a dog humping something. It is always funny!
Here we have a couple of ladies who somehow figured out what their pooch likes to do when left alone at home. They decided to try and capture this activity of video…and they were successful. Now when you think of things a dog will do when left alone, you probably think of making a big 'ol mess, or you think of making sweet doggy love to some inanimate object. Thankfully this dog has chosen the latter.
This fella can't wait to be left alone with those sexy pillows. They've been giving him the eye all day, and tonight my man is gonna make his move. Those pillows have been asking for it, and now they're gonna get it! You'll notice that this horn dog does not discriminate either…getting freak nasty with both the white AND black pillow.
So now I give you permission to giggle like a 9-year old…in fact, I'd be disappointed if you didn't giggle.

I agree but a starting quality OL in FA will cost money the team doesn't have so it looks like the draft is where we have to go.

After concluding a successful road trip by salvaging a victory against the NL Central leaders, the Pittsburgh Pirates should be excited to return home.
The Arizona Diamondbacks, meanwhile, are hoping to get back on track after hitting a rut on a trek that started quite well.
Beginning a season-high 11-game homestand, the Pirates look to hand the Diamondbacks a third straight defeat Monday night.
Though Pittsburgh (61-46) went 6-4 on its latest trip, it returns home 4 1/2 games behind Central-leading Cincinnati after dropping two of three to the Reds over the weekend.
The Pirates earned some solace with a 6-2 win Sunday. Andrew McCutchen and Neil Walker each homered while A.J. Burnett came within an out of his second straight complete game for the Pirates, who own the NL's second wild-card spot.
The Pirates now return home, where they are a major league-best 33-16 despite losing two of three to Chicago from July 23-25.
Monday marks the PNC Park debut of rookie outfielder Starling Marte, who homered on the first major league pitch he saw at Houston on July 26. Though Marte is batting .238 (10 for 42), he had two hits and two RBIs on Sunday.
Walker hit three homers and drove in 11 runs during the trip.
McCutchen, meanwhile, has batted .471 (8 for 17) with three home runs in his last five home games versus Arizona. He's hit .479 (35 for 73) with six homers and 21 RBIs in his last 20 at PNC overall.
Tied for the most losses in the majors, Pittsburgh's Erik Bedard (5-12, 4.83 ERA) takes the mound after he allowed nine runs in 4 1-3 innings of a 14-4 loss at Chicago on Monday.
"They hit good pitches, bad pitches and the unfortunate thing is they went over the fence," Bedard said. "I felt really good. I guess that's the positive out of it."
The left-hander allowed two runs, three hits and walked four over five innings of a 5-1 loss at Arizona on April 16.
Bedard, however, has been much better at home. He has a 2.43 ERA in his last five starts at PNC, while he's compiled a 9.00 ERA in his last five on the road.
Arizona (55-53) won the first four on its current 10-game trip before dropping the last two in Philadelphia. The Diamondbacks blew an early three-run lead Sunday and lost 5-4 on Ryan Howard's tiebreaking single in the ninth.
"It's frustrating but you just get over it and come back (Monday)," manager Kirk Gibson said.
The Diamondbacks have a good chance to turn things around Monday when they hand the ball to All-Star Wade Miley (12-6, 2.98), who allowed a solo homer and two other hits in eight innings of an 8-2 win at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday.
Miley, who yielded one walk in that contest, has not issued more than two free passes in any of his last 19 starts.
"I just have the confidence throwing strikes," the left-hander said. "Me and (catcher Miguel Montero) have a great relationship. He trusts me, I trust him and everything's been working."
In his only previous appearance against the Pirates, Miley gave up two runs in five innings of an 8-5 home win Sept. 21.
Third baseman Chris Johnson, who hit a two-run homer Sunday, is 8 for 21 (.381) with three homers and 10 RBIs in six games since the Diamondbacks acquired him from Houston on July 29.
He went 5 for 11 with two homers in three games against the Pirates just before being traded, but has never faced Bedard.

TO: Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., Chairman, New York Times Co.
Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr.,
Chairman, New York Times Co.
FROM: NYTreader
I see you told New York Times public editor Clark Hoyt, when he asked about the current dynamics in your family, and especially within your children's generation, that the center would hold.
Which is great. The kind of relationship the Sulzbergers have with the Times is unique, these days—that almost aristocratic way of growing up steeped in the stewardship of a family institution. This bonded your brood deeply with the paper, unlike Dow Jones' (DJ ) Bancrofts. But consider what happens to your family if some stranger offers, oh, 35 a share for the company. (A 42% premium over late-July's stock price, that.) Because, thanks to News Corp. (NWS ) and Dow Jones, we now know someone could.
Understand that no matter which road you take, the next few years will be awful. They will expose you, your family, and your paper to scrutiny and criticism as never before. There is no avoiding this. There is no "right" here; there is "bad" and "worse." (Just remain thankful that Rupert Murdoch called Dow Jones' Rich Zannino and not you.) You can stay today's course, toughing out investor dissent and market disgust and, eventually, land the Times on some currently unknown safer terrain. (That's the best-case scenario, by the way.) Or swallow hard, sell a bunch of properties, find a billionaire angel or two, make an offer for the 81% of the common shares your family does not own, and go private.
THESE ARE THE OPTIONS. And I'm starting to think No. 2 is the safest. It won't be easy. (For one thing, a Times-centric private company means piling on debt precisely when the paper is most stressed.) If it were easy, you'd have done it by now. I know the two-tier stock structure at the Times is solid, that the Sulzbergers vote as a single bloc (unlike the Bancrofts), and that changes to the rules require six of eight trustees to agree. This means that the Times Co. doesn't have to do anything, except dig in and wait till you, or someone, finds the way to bridge the chasm between what newspapers were and what they will ultimately become.
But that assumes you are absolutely confident that a crazy offer won't come in over the transom and create rifts in the family not visible right now. Granted, it's hard to see where this offer might come from, but who predicted an offer as rich as Murdoch's? The market cap of the Times Co. is just $3.3 billion. (This is part of the problem: There's so much money slopping around that you can reasonably append the word "just" to "$3.3 billion.")
You have some ammo. Jack Welch et al are willing to buy The Boston Globe for around $600 million. Your regional papers could score over a billion. About.com, no matter what your dissident investor Hassan Elmasry says, could get twice the $410 million you paid for it, and more if a major player suddenly gets desperate to buy traffic. (Elmasry is ammo, too. The more he complains, the more he talks the stock price down—and the easier it gets to go private.) Now: 35 a share for the outstanding 81% is $4.1 billion. You can knock a billion-six off that with asset sales—maybe another billion if you sell About.com. There's that $1.4 billion in existing debt. There will be taxes, and you'll need to spread some cash around the family. But remember the institution: Yours remains the only one around that could, plausibly, enlist a few very rich dudes to accept less-than-stellar returns so their obits can say they saved The New York Times.
Because things will not get better. Investors holding over half of nonfamily shares withheld votes for directors at April's annual meeting—and that was right after you'd boosted the hell out of the dividend. Right now you're coaching the most difficult game of your life, with analysts and investors screaming in your ear at every turn. The rules of the game require you to listen to all of them. Calling the plays in relative silence would be so much better. And you could be the guy who steered your family's cherished Times safely through its greatest crisis.

MINISTERS moved quickly yesterday to dismiss suggestions that they were preparing to transfer the Lockerbie bomber to Libya to serve out the remainder of his sentence.
They were reacting to the decision of the Crown Office to write to the families of the victims informing them about the prisoner transfer agreement with Libya, which is due to come into force at the end of this month.
That sparked renewed speculation that ministers were preparing to send Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi home because he has terminal cancer.
But a spokesman for the First Minister insisted yesterday that no decision would be taken on Megrahi's future until a formal application for his return to Libya had been received.
Megrahi's appeal is due to start shortly after the agreement comes into force on 27 April, meaning it is unlikely he will be able to submit an application for transfer for at least several months – no-one can apply while they are appealing.
A spokesperson for the Scottish Government said: "It will be for the Scottish ministers to decide on any application for prisoner transfer."

LOOKING BACKWARD | EDWARD BELLAMYFirst published: 1888 | Takes place: 2000Bellamy's future Boston is an awe-inspiring, if vague, dreamworld. It's so clean it sparkles. Landmarks — which ones, Bellamy does not specify — remain the same, but, Bellamy assures us, everything else looks completely different. Rather than rigid city blocks, enormous public buildings stand in clusters, each with its own public park teeming with fountains and statues.
Instead of neighborhoods, Boston is divided into wards. There are no stores or banks, since socialist utopias don't need 'em. Instead, each ward contains a distribution center (housed within a gigantic, staggeringly well-designed public building) in walking distance of each citizen; it connects to other distribution centers via an intricate system of pneumatic tubes. Giant mechanized umbrellas cover sidewalks when it rains.
In Bellamy's socialist utopia, newspapers and magazines wouldn't be imperiled: the public would decide what periodicals they want to see published, appoint an editor, pay for a year's subscription in advance, and voila: print media lives on forever!

Battle of the Makeup Wipes: Simple, Aveeno, Yes To, Neutrogena, Olay & Pond's
As I've mentioned before, I have been on a quest to find the best makeup wipes. So far, I've tested out quite a few and I'm going to give you guys my thoughts in this post. Now I haven't tried every single makeup wipe out there, but I do think I've found a favorite!
A little background info: I used to never use makeup wipes, but within the past year I've found them to be extremely useful. They not only help get my makeup off, but they are also quick and easy! If I'm so dog tired that I can't even wash my face, I'll use a makeup wipe, which is much better than using nothing (what I used to do). I only use the makeup wipes at night after I've been wearing makeup or even if I haven't. I find that they're also nice as a way to get off that initial layer of oil/dirt or whatever you get on your face throughout the day.
All of the makeup wipes that I've reviewed in this post are from the drugstore. Since I use makeup wipes every single night, buying high end wipes like the MAC or Korres ones would add up to be way too expensive and just not worth it. So I didn't try any in case I fell in love with them. I don't even want to temp myself.
1. Yes To Grapefruits Brightening Facial Towelettes: Grapefruit is one of my favorite foods and scents, which was one of the reasons I was interested in trying these out. I was also looking to try something out from the Yes To line. I was super excited to find these because they were brightening (and I struggle with hyperpigmentation & acne scars) and there was a coupon on the display they were on! But ultimately when I tried them, I was disappointed. Even though they weren't labeled as "makeup removing" wipes, I expected them to cleanse my face better than they did. I felt like I had to really scrub to get my makeup off, and nobody likes treating their skin so roughly! 25 wipes was also not enough to tell whether they lived up to their brightening claim. I did like that the dispenser was a plastic snap closure because it prevented the wipes from drying out. Because I'm looking for something that will really take off the day, I won't be repurchasing these.
2. Neutrogena Makeup Removing Wipes: Everyone and their mother loves these, but I didn't. Now, I didn't hate them, but I didn't love them. Maybe that's because I had super high expectations, but they didn't remove makeup as well as the Aveeno ones (reviewed below). Furthermore, I disliked the packaging a lot. There was no plastic snap closure, so with daily peeling & unpeeling, the makeup wipes actually started to dry out and it was made worse because the stickiness stopped being sticky. Eventually I just moved all of the wipes to the box that came with the package I bought. I want to give these wipes a second chance though, since everyone raves about them so much.
3. Pond's Original Fresh Wet Cleansing Towelettes: Out of all of the makeup wipes I tried, these are my second favorite. They worked really well at removing my makeup, especially because of the quilted texture of the wipe itself, the grooves really allowed the wipes to really get all of the makeup off with minimal scrubbing from me. The scent was also really nice - not too strong. The only complaint I have about them (which is why they're not my favorite) is that they're really wet. I also have the problem that the sticky closure stops being sticky because the wipes are so wet. It's less of a problem here than for the Neutrogena ones though, because the wipes are so wet that I actually want them to dry out a bit! Overall, definitely would repurchase.
4. Simple Cleansing Facial Towelettes: These are also super hyped about in the beauty blogger world, so I just had to try them out. Overall, I like them, but they're not my favorite. They're great for sensitive skin because they're very gentle and unscented. Personally, I like scented things better than unscented, so that's one of the reasons why these wipes aren't at the top of my list. The wipes don't dry out by the end of the package, which is also really nice. The only other complaint I have is that the towelettes themselves are slightly scratchy and not as smooth as the Neutrogena or Aveeno ones. They're not supposed to be exfoliating, so the slight scratchiness surprised me when I used my first wipe. It's not a deal-breaker though, and it really doesn't bother me all that much. I would say these are good makeup wipes, but I'm not sure they're worth all the hype they're getting.
5. Aveeno Ultra-Calming Makeup Removing Wipes: If you read my Products I've Used Up #1: Skincare & Haircare post or watched my video, you know these are my absolute favorite so far. I really have no complaints about them. They have the plastic snap closure (which is nice, but slightly wasteful), and they live up to all of the claims on the packaging. They smell great, they are actually calming, the wipes themselves are nice and smooth, they remove makeup incredibly well (even my waterproof mascara), and they're actually moisturizing! If I only use these wipes, I don't feel like I need to put on moisturizer (but if I follow up by washing my face like I usually do after removing my makeup, I do need a moisturizer). And they smell so good that after I throw them out, they make my trash smell good. Those with sensitive skin or who don't like scents might not like these, but even so I definitely think you should give them a try because they are calming! They are a couple dollars more expensive than the others, in this post, but I personally think they're more than worth it!
6. Olay Wet Cleansing Cloths: These are the normal ones, not for sensitive skin (Olay has a sensitive skin version as well). I have to say, these are my least favorite wipes. I don't like them at all! They don't remove makeup as well, as some of the others, they are slightly more expensive, and they sting my eyes like crazy. The thing I do like about these wipes though, is that the cloths are nice and thick, so the feel higher quality and they're nice and smooth feeling on the skin. I won't be repurchasing these (or trying the sensitive ones because I still don't think I'll like them).
So to summarize this post, my top 3 in order are the Aveeno, Pond's, and Simple. Next up I want to try the Maybelline Clean Express, Burt's Bees, Olay Fresh Effects, and Clean & Clear ones, which I'll also review after I've tried them. I also want to retry the Neutrogena ones. After that, I'll be sticking with whichever ones I think are the best!
The hunt for the perfect makeup wipes are almost (ok not really, more like halfway) done!

Hi! I really liked this blog post. I can never find face wipes that make a huge difference to my skin, so this was really helpful. I'll be sure to try the Aveeno face wipes! My name's Gigi, and I have a blog too (www.toshlifeblog.tumblr.com). If you could check it out, that would be great!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much for reading and I'm glad you liked the post! I hope you like the Aveeno ones if you try them out. I tried checking out your blog but the link sent me to a "not found" page. Is there a typo? I'd love to take a look!Delete

One of the most common causes of acute pain abdomen in adult population is gall stone colic. It is such a common medical condition that we come across regularly in our own family and within our neighbourhood that little knowledge about the condition is always necessary, even for the non medical public.
First of all, it is a condition which mostly affects the adult population than the younger age group. These are rare in first two decades of life, but the incidence increases gradually after 21 yrs, and reaches its peak in 5th and 6th decades of life.
Secondly, it is one of those disease conditions that have more affinity towards women than the men. The difference ratio is as high as 4: 1 in women as compared to men. More interesting than this is its affinity towards a particular type of patient profile. It is denoted by four F's:- Female, Fatty, Forty and Fertile (One who has born many children).
There are various compositions of gall stones. Major elements are cholesterol, bile pigments, and calcium mainly though traces of iron, carbonates, phosphorous, proteins, cellular debris, mucus and carbohydrates are also found in the stones. The mechanism of formation of such stones is mainly metabolic. Decrease in the level of bile salts and lecithin (a phospholipid) initiates precipitation of cholesterol and thus gradually cholesterol stones form. Pigment stones are mainly formed due to excessive destruction of red blood cells as seen in haemolytic anaemia, septic haemolysis and malaria. Besides infection, temporary cessation of flow of bile into the intestine and stagnation of bile in the gall bladder, reflux of the pancreatic enzyme into the gall bladder etc are also considered to be important factor for development of such stones.
Many cases of gall stones remain asymptomatic for a long time. Half of them become symptomatic after few years of development and in 15 to 20%, serious complications including carcinoma of gall bladder are seen to develop. One of the most common presentations is flatulent dyspepsia usually after a large or fatty meal. Patients complain fullness in abdomen, belching and heart burn, normally after food. But the most distressing complaint is the occasional severe gall stone colic. It usually starts at night, when the patient goes to bed for sleep. Pain may refer to inferior angel of right scapula. The pain becomes very severe soon, and is often associated with nausea and vomiting. The pain again suddenly disappears suddenly after few hours. This kind of pain may repeat at certain interval of and on.
Where in modern medicine, the most popular treatment of the condition is cholecystectomy (surgical removal of the gall bladder along with the stones), let us now see what the scopes of Homoeopathy are in this so called surgical disease. Well, the possibilities of spontaneous recovery from the disease by passing out of stones, as in case of renal calculi is not so much encouraging due to the anatomical variation of the two organs. In case of kidneys, the ureter as well as bladders is placed below and downward. So, there is a greater possibility of passing of smaller stones downwards with gravitational pool and expulsive force of the organs. The situation is different in case of gall bladder. The fundus is placed at a much lower level than the neck. So, spontaneous expulsion is not possible against the gravitational pool. Besides, as the fundus is much spacious, stones get enough chance to increase in size without giving any symptom and likewise, it becomes much wider than the diameter of the neck to get through. This is also the main reason for late appearance of pain and symptoms in case of gall stones as compared to renal stones. By the time, patient starts to feel acute pain abdomen or dyspeptic troubles, the stones already become much bigger and harder. So, treating a gall stone case successfully is a great challenge for any conservative treatment procedure like Homoeopathy, particularly when the calculi/ calculus are considerably bigger.
Whether the complete dissolution and or expulsion of calculi is possible by homoeopathic treatment or not is still a major question yet unsolved, acute pain management and conservative treatment are very well delivered with proper homoeopathic treatment. While many homoeopathic societies have frequently claimed to treat and cure gall stone case successfully here and there, but any systematic study report with a good number of cases been treated successfully is yet to be published. Even then, we must consider like we always do in most other disease conditions that gall stones cases are also very much a curable disease, if we get the cases earlier, and if we treat them homoeopathically.
Considering the formation of calculi by deposition or precipitation of certain elements within our body, which are otherwise not harmful is some kind of defect in the whole system, an in- coordination, we can comprehend easily that the misametic predominance in this disease is actually sycosis in multimiasmetic background. So while treating such cases, it is always mandatory to look for the signs or indications of the underlying miasmetic disease individually for each and every case coming to us, and administer proper antimiasmetic medicines if we are at all expecting to cure such cases, or at least hoping to give suitable amelioration.
There are plenty of excellent remedies within our domain of treatment, used for acute and chronic conditions. Amongst them Aurum met, Arsenic, Belladonna, Berberis vulgaris, Bryonia, Calcarea carb, Carduus marianus, Chelidonium, Chionanthus, China, Colocynthis, Dioscorea, Fel tauri, Gelsemium, Hydrastis. Lycopodium, Lachesis, Nux vom, Podophyllum, Opium, Taraxacum etc are popularly used. Indications of these medicines in gall stone diseases are intentionally not given here, because we strictly discourage any kind of self medication, even homoeopathic in such kind of diseases. If you are a patient, or patient party, it is advisable to you to consult any nearby Homoeopathic physician, rather than trying a hit and trial method. It always harms you rather than giving any help.
It is repeatedly observed that homoeopathy can effectively reduce the rate of growth of renal stones when taken in long term basis. It is also observed in many cases with modern investigations that the sizes of the stones are also considerably reduced over years by proper homoeopathic treatment and surgical removal may be delayed. Hopefully, in coming years, more good results are expected to come.

Kentucky Derby: Pressure's on for Candy Boy in Santa Anita Derby
John Sadler, the trainer of Candy Boy, and Lee Searing, who owns Candy Boy with his wife, Susan, knew it was a calculated risk to manage Candy Boy the way they have this spring, running him in a Kentucky Derby prep worth 10 points for first, skipping one worth 50 points to the winner, and then knowing that a race worth 100 for first would determine their fate for the May 3 Derby.
It is high risk, but it could also be high reward.
The risk was starkly illustrated last Saturday, when Cairo Prince, who has had a schedule in Florida similar to Candy Boy's in California, finished fourth in the Florida Derby, putting in jeopardy his chances of making the Derby field, what with his current 24 points.
The reward, Sadler believes, is potentially having a horse ideally prepared for the rigors of the Derby and the Triple Crown.
[DERBY WATCH: Top 20 list | Who's hot, who's not]
But first Candy Boy has to run well on Saturday in the Grade 1, $1 million Santa Anita Derby. If he does, Candy Boy would head to Louisville as one of the elite contenders for this year's Derby. If he's as flat as Cairo Prince was last Saturday, a Derby start would be in doubt.
"We knew it was risky, but we thought this was in the best interests of the horse, and that comes first," Sadler said Wednesday. "The spacing works if you go into it from this perspective – is your goal with the Kentucky Derby trying to win it, or just trying to get there?
"If we get unlucky in the race, it is what it is. But we felt going into the year that this was the best plan. If he belongs, he should be one-two, and that should get him there."
Sadler's comments illustrate a truism of the points system Churchill Downs now uses to determine the field for the Derby should more than the maximum 20 horses enter – it is performance based. Run well in your final prep, and you're in, as with Florida Derby winner Constitution, who entered that race with zero points and emerged with 100. Run poorly in your final prep, and maybe you don't belong anyway.
Candy Boy has improved with every one of his races. He took four starts to finally defeat maidens, then jumped up with an outstanding second-place finish behind Shared Belief, the subsequent division champion, in the CashCall Futurity to end his 2-year-old campaign.
It was after that race that Sadler and Searing decided to run him next in the Robert Lewis Stakes on Feb. 8, which was worth 10 points to the winner, and bypass the San Felipe Stakes on March 8, which was worth 50 points to the winner, and give him a brief freshening for the Santa Anita Derby.
Cairo Prince had a similar schedule at Gulfstream. He won the Holy Bull, skipped the Fountain of Youth, and was pointed to the Florida Derby, a race in which he was the heavy favorite.
The Santa Anita Derby looks like a tougher field than in the Florida Derby. Candy Boy, who has 10 qualifying points, won't be the favorite, with that spot taken by San Felipe winner California Chrome (50 points). The field also includes Hoppertunity (55 points), the winner of the Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn last month. On the Derby Watch future line set by Mike Watchmaker, Daily Racing Form 's national handicapper, those are three of the top six current choices for the Derby.
[Santa Anita Derby Day: Get PPs, watch Saturday's card live]
This is the second year Churchill Downs has used a points system, after relying on graded stakes earnings from 1986-2012. Under the old system, Cairo Prince would be in the Derby field, having banked significant cash by winning the Holy Bull and Nashua, and finishing second in the Remsen. But so would Rise Up, who won the Delta Downs Jackpot and was last in the Louisiana Derby.
The new points system greatly de-emphasizes 2-year-old racing, and puts a premium on races closest to the Derby. The second round of spring preps are worth five times the amount of the first round of preps, and the final round of major preps are worth 10 times the first round and twice the second.
The horses it potentially benefits are lightly raced horses who get good at the right time. While the money Constitution earned in the Florida Derby would have put him in the Derby field under the old system, too, the points system makes it easier for a horse like him to catch a horse like Cairo Prince, who has a big head start on earnings.
Constitution began racing earlier this year, and won a maiden and an allowance race before the Florida Derby. Social Inclusion, who runs in the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct on Saturday, and Bayern, scheduled to run in the Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn on April 12, have similar resumes. If they run first or second, the minimum number of points needed to make this year's Derby will increase, making it harder for a horse like Cairo Prince to make the field.
"We've got one shot at it," said Bob Baffert, the trainer of Bayern. "He's got to win or run second."
Owing to late defections, it took just 10 points to get into the Kentucky Derby last year. Perhaps that will happen this year. But relying on a one-year sample size would get one thrown out of a beginning statistics course. Barring numerous defections, the cutoff point should be much higher this year.
◗ Candy Boy drew post 6 in a field of eight that was entered on Wednesday. The field, from the rail out, is Rprettyboyfloyd, Friendswith K Mill, Hoppertunity, Big Tire, California Chrome, Candy Boy, Schoolofhardrocks, and Dublin Up. Jon White of Santa Anita made California Chrome the 6-5 morning-line favorite, with Candy Boy next at 9-5. Hoppertunity is the third choice at 3-1. No one else is less than 10-1.
Baffert should have given Indianapolis a chance at a prep race at route distance
How can this writer say that the S.A. Derby is a tougher field than the Fla. Derby ??? What set of PP's is he lookin' at.??? This S.A. Derby has only 3 horses that have a chance to win...the rest of this field may belong in a G3 every now and then....IMO very weak field for a one million dollar race....Cal Chrome should go wire to wire...maybe Candy Boy will catch him...Hopportunity won't be all out ..he's already in the Derby...Baffert will go easy on him just like he did with Silver Charm and Real Quiet.
I like candyboy 1 or 2. He has speed & should go distance...workouts have been strong plus breeding should let him go distance with "citation" in his bloodline . Stevens & smith in the same race is always fun:)
I think Baffert realizes that Hop is his best shot at the Derby. Bob will send him early, just like Silver Charm. If he gets beat, Hop will still have the best tune-up going into the Derby as anyone. Personally, I never was on the California Chrome bandwagon. He didn't beat anyone in the San Felipe. We'll see tomorrow just what kind of horse he is.
Why did Baffert send Hopptunity to SA when he ran well at OP? To me that's the question that needs an answer.
This is a big problem in horse racing. Everyone is concern about the health and safety of the horses, rightfully so. And we have a point system to get into the derby, Except now you have instances where owners/trainers are rushing horses into big races to get enough points to qualify. They should leave 1-2 slots open for the derby to be purchased in an action to the highest bidder instead of getting a horse hurt in a prep because he's not ready. I like to see horses run a long time. I hate 3 races and he's retired. That's why I pay so little attention to the prep races. Most of them I'll never hear from again.
Really want Candy Boy to finish 2 or 3 because he's my derby horse. Stevens knows the goal is to secure 2nd or 3rd and leave plenty left. He's a great triple crown candidate because he's fast, he can rate, he's bred to go long and he can run on a fast or sloppy track. Very similar attributes to I'll have another and silver charm.
What we're all forgetting is who needs points and who doesn't. If Espinosa is smart we won't see another monster performance by c.c. This should be a training exercise.....save the steam for may. Cc won't win bc he doesn't need too.
C.C. will crush em Saturday. Stay with the mile C.B.
hope the candy boy gets in. he will be pace comprimised in the santa anita derby over that speed favoring track,but if the candy boy gets the points watch out at churchill over a fair track and an abundent of speed. kinda reminds me of real quiet,whose performance in the santa anita derby was a beaten 2nd to indian charlie but on a fair track at churchill with a legit pace he crushed charlie. candy boy reminds me so much of real quiet. would love to see old man stevens get the chance at churchill with this horse
