It's not all the time that you find yourself in need of a replacement Control Arm Bushing to fix your car or truck. You purchased your E300 because its a reputation for strength and German engineering agreed with your nature; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to superior quality auto parts? Auto enthusiasts know that a reliable name is built into each Mercedes-Benz, and understand that only the highest quality replacement E300 parts will suffice when repairs are needed. Make no mistake, you didn't buy your E300 unless you understood you would be getting best-in-class service and dependability both impeccably combined into one car, truck, or SUV.
The handling of your Mercedes-Benz E300 is the result of an evolved suspension. But your suspension wouldn't be as comfortable without Mercedes-Benz E300 control arm bushings. These small components absorb annoying vibrations that you would normally feel when you drive down the road. Control arm bushings can be found where your control arms fasten to the frame, and cushion the spot where the hardware attaches it. If a control arm bushing goes bad, you'll need quality replacement parts to correct the noise and vibration problems.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Mercedes-Benz E300 part for your needs. Bring your E300 back to life with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Given all the hassles associated with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make buying it easy. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Mercedes-Benz E300 Control Arm Bushing for your 2009, 2008, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995 model.

Meru Foundation's research demonstrates that each letter in the Hebrew alphabet is also a hand gesture, and, at this level, Hebrew forms a natural universal language. This work examines the Hebrew text of Genesis and shows how each letter is both concept and gesture, with the form of the gesture matching the function of the concept, revealing the implicit relationship between the physical world of function and the conscious world of concept. Geometry modeling embryonic growth and self-organization is inherent in the Genesis text, and is also at the core of many healing and meditative practices. The goal of Meru Foundation's research is to make the science of consciousness in Genesis accessible in the modern world, thus providing a functional bridge between the domains of science and faith.

Not every fantasy has a tragic beginning. Not every struggle sees a happy ending. Sometimes the ones we think will carry the world on their shoulders end up tearing it to pieces as they plummet into the darkness. And sometimes, there is no hope.
The blood from the chalice traced rivulets from the corners of Shalena's mouth, meeting under her chin to continue down her throat as a more prominant stream. With her skin the color of the night sky, shifting hues of dark blues and blacks, the blood was inconspicuous and could have been any sort of liquid. The splatter of red that flecked her star-white hair and the corpse of a fledgeling dwen indicated blood. There was a dark pool seeping from a fresh slash across the dwen's throat and it's translucent wings were wrapped around it's frail body, cradling itself in death.
Shalena turned her gaze to the one other being in the dark, cold chamber, golden irises twinkling as she eyed him.
"Human... our agreement will go smoothly it seems."
She spoke without speaking; her words seemed more to bloom in the depths of the human's mind and flower into comprehension. His eyes unfocused and he stared straight ahead.
"The artifact is yours to do with as your please as long as you heed my desires. You will know what I want and when I want it."
The human tried to open his mouth to respond, but was unable. What crossed his mind, though, she knew, and so she replied.
"I will call you 'human' for that is what you are and nothing more. Leave me."
She withdrew from his mind and he stumbled backwards. His eyes refocused and he barely met her glare before turning and making his way quickly from her presence.
* * *
Dakrand slowed his pace as he got clear of the ebony archway to the witch's dark palace. He felt foolish hurrying like some scolded child, but he knew Shalena was beyond him to cross. She may be helping him, but to her it was a steal; she had no use for the artifact he now held in his hand, and if she felt he would be a waste of her time... well, she wouldn't be disappointed; Dakrand always kept his deals.
He took a moment to place the artifact in the sachel at his side and continued down the path and away from the palace, which seemed to fade away as if it were a mirage. Once out from beneath the protective enchantments that were in place in the area, Dakrand lifted his left hand, arm outstretched and palm facing outward. He closed his eyes for just a fraction of a second and was enveloped in shadows.

A CONVICTED drug dealer has been allowed out at nights by a judge – so he can
carry on PARTYING before he goes to jail.
Iolo Evans, 34, is facing a prison sentence after being caught red-handed in a
nightclub with rave drug ecstasy.
He was released on bail – and put under a night curfew before returning to
court to be sentenced.
But his barrister pleaded for the curfew to be relaxed for Evans to have a
social life before being locked up.
Peter Harding-Roberts, defending, said: "It is an unusual request to be made
by someone caught committing drug offences in a club.
"But it is so he can have a social life between now and his sentencing date."
Evans, of Pontcanna, Cardiff, admitted supplying illegal drugs and possessing
cannabis with intent to supply.
Judge Philip Richards told him to expect to be jailed when he returns to
Cardiff Crown Court next month to be sentenced.
But the judge agreed to amend his curfew to between the hours of 11.15pm and
Judge Richards told him: "You have applied to be allowed a social life between
now and sentence and you must be careful not to abuse it.
"If you do abuse it, you will be arrested and kept in custody."
The court heard both Evans and his "respectable" but "devastated" parents
understood the position he is in and was told the defendant had faced up to
his predicament.

University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, TX
Our group found that antibody production to the Mycoplasma CARDS TX (MPN372) was more robust and prolonged than the standard serologic assay(P-1 adhesin;MPN141) in a pediatric population with asthma. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the distribution of IgM and IgG to CARDS TX (MPN372) in a healthy adult population and compare that to a population of adult asthmatics.
IgM and IgG by ELISA were determined in 200 healthy control subjects for antibodies to CARDS TX. All patients with pulmonary disease or active medical illness were excluded. Mean age was 36.9 years (SD +/− 9.4). The population was ethnically diverse with 51% males/49% females. Fifty adult asthmatics with similar demographic characteristics were also analyzed. Differences were analyzed by test of equality of medians (Pearson χ2).
The mean IgG for healthy controls was 0.3559(SD:+/− 0.2281). The 95%tile and 99%tile were 0.8685 and 1.2535 respectively. The mean IgM for healthy controls was 0.2091 (SD: +/− 0.147). The 95%tile and 99%tile were 0.457 and 0.8605 respectively. Despite Mp being identified in 41.9% of our asthmatic population, the mean IgG was lower than in controls (0.2998 +/− 0.250). The median IgG was statistically higher in controls than in asthmatic subjects (Pearson χ2 = 3.727; p = 0.05).
The 95%tile and 99%tile to a highly immunogenic component of Mp (MPN 372)has been identified in a large population of healthy adults. These values should be tested against standard serologic tests in diagnosing acute Mp infection. Adult asthmatic patients appear to have lower IgG levels to Mp than a healthy adult population.
These data raise the possibility that asthmatic subjects could have a suboptimal immunologic response to Mycoplasma.

Video shows aftermath of shootout at park filled with kids
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Newly released video shows the aftermath of a shootout at a busy Daytona Beach park where roughly 150 children were.
Daytona Beach police said an altercation broke out between 19-year-old Oceann Maddox and 18-year-old Stephon Stropshire, while hundreds of people were attending Pop Warner football practice at Derbyshire Park on Monday.
Coaches tried to break up the fight, but police said Maddox went to a car and grabbed a gun, and then fired shots into the air.
Security cameras overhead captured innocent bystanders running for cover as the sound of gunfire pierced the air. Terrified parents called 911.
"I'm out here on Derbyshire Park football practice. It's a…there's somebody out here shooting. They're shooting! They're shooting! They're shooting!" a 911 caller told the operator.
"Oh Lord! I'm looking for my daughter. Lord have mercy. My nerves bad," another 911 caller said.
Maddox then went inside another car with other occupants and fired another shot into a green car that Stropshire had gotten into, police said.
In all, they fired 10 to 15 shots, according to police.
A woman who heard the shots fired came out of her door to see what was going on and was shot in the leg, according to police.
There were roughly 150 children at the
park, police said.
Russell Halloway was with his son at football practice. The shots forced him to the ground. He was prepared to protect his son and a child he didn't know.
"I hollered to him, 'Get on the ground,' jumped on top of him. There was another kid close by us, so I told him to scoot over and I laid on top of him, kind of on both of them," said Halloway.
Despite the crowd of children no one was badly hurt.
Maddox and Stropshire were arrested Monday night on charges of firing a gun from a vehicle. Maddox bonded out, but Shropshire made his first appearance in court on Tuesday.
Later, outside of court, Shropshire's mother snapped at the media asking questions about the disregard her son had for some many in a public place.
"I don't want anybody not to use our facilities because of a couple punks and I'm going to do my damnedist to make sure that we restore order there and that these kids and these parents are safe when they get out there," said Police Chief Mike Chitwood.
He told WFTV Maddox is a star quarterback at the Halifax Academy.
The woman who was shot is in the hospital and her condition is unknown.

Two years ago, Rachel O'Riordan could never have imagined she would be flying to New York this week to oversee the Broadway transfer of Hurricane, the first play she ever directed.
A one-man show about snooker player Alex Higgins, written by and starring O'Riordan's husband Richard Dormer, the play has been a smash hit up and down the country ever since it first stumbled modestly into a small Belfast theatre.
'We originally planned it to run for ten days,' says O'Riordan. 'Now it's had two West End runs and opens in America this week.'
Determining precisely what made Hurricane such a runaway success is impossible and O'Riordan has consciously resisted trying. Instead, she's been pouring her energies into her second production, Protestants, which also opens this week and is about as different from Hurricane as it gets.
It too is a oneman show (starring Paul Hickey) but rather than telling one story about one man, it tells many stories about many people - from Elizabeth I to Oliver Cromwell to a Rangers thug. All, in some form or another, are Protestant; the play ambitiously examines what it truly means to be Protestant beyond rigid Orangemen stereotypes.
This may sound rather dry compared with Hurricane's torrid real-life drama but in Belfast it sparked a reaction even O'Riordan hadn't anticipated. 'To put the word Protestants on a poster in Belfast is a very cocky thing to do,' she says.
'We meant to provoke but certainly not to insult and yet everyone came to see it with very firm, different ideas of what being Protestant meant. We held several heated post-show discussions.
'It says something that we could put it on at all - 15 years ago it wouldn't have been possible.'
O'Riordan describes herself as a 'Southern Taig' - she comes from Cork - but as a Belfast outsider she was well-placed to observe the city's fraught religious identity. 'There's a general feeling in Belfast that they are missing out on a cultural heritage,' she says.
'Catholicism is full of song and dance, strife and pageant, it draws on rebellion and the Celtic tradition. Many Protestants consider their culture to be less defined; less rich and more domestic. And yet it has an amazing history. It changed the world, for a start.'
O'Riordan trained as a dancer - her fluent, physical style was partly what made Hurricane so captivating - and set up Ransom Productions two years ago when her desire to direct theatre overwhelmed her.
To date, the company has been largely a family affair. Protestants was written by her father, novelist
Robert Welch, after a conversation with Ulster-born Dormer. 'When you are starting out, you realistically can only work with people who will work for free,' O'Riordan says.
She is also well aware the Protestant-Catholic divide is considerably less significant in London than in sectarian Belfast and Scotland, where the play has already toured. 'I'm terrified of what London will make of it, actually,' she admits.
But then again, England has a sufficiently tortuous ongoing debate about identity for Protestants to strike chords, even without Euro 2004 on the horizon. 'You should see what I've done with the hooligan character,' O'Riordan grins. 'I'm hoping no-one will be able to say: "This means nothing to us".'

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A suicide car bomb exploded near the entrance of a private construction company in western Afghanistan early Thursday while other insurgents stormed the compound, sparking a gunbattle with Afghan forces who rushed to the scene, officials said.
The attack, which took place in the province of Herat, comes just days after the Taliban launched a brazen, two-pronged assault on a compound housing United Nations and international aid groups offices in southern Afghanistan. Five people were killed in that attack, including three working with the U.N.'s refugee organization.
Thursday's attack began with a suicide car bombing near the entrance of the company that sits along the main road to the airport in the provincial capital's Guzra district, said Noorkhan Nekzad, the spokesman for Herat province's police chief.
Initial reports indicate that one guard was injured in the blast, said Muhiudin Noori, spokesman for the province's governor.
Afghan security forces responded to the attack that began about 10 a.m. and a gun battle was ongoing hours later, the two officials said.
The road is a route often used by NATO and Afghan forces.

Previous research has documented several PAHs that interact synergistically, causing severe teratogenicity in developing fish embryos. The coexposure of CYP1A inhibitors (e.g. FL or ANF) with AHR agonists (e.g. BaP or BNF) results in a synergistic increase in toxicity. As with chemical CYP1A inhibitors, it has also been shown that CYP1A morpholinos exacerbate BNF-induced embryotoxicity. We hypothesized that a hypoxia-induced reduction in CYP1A activity in BNF or BaP-exposed zebrafish embryos would similarly enhance pericardial effusion and other developmental abnormalities. BaP, BNF, ANF, and FL exposures, both individually and as BaP+FL or BNF+ANF combinations, were performed under hypoxia and normoxia. CYP1A activity in the BaP+hypoxia and BNF+hypoxia embryos was reduced by approximately 60% relative to normoxia embryos. Although CYP1A activity was significantly reduced, we did not observe any increase in pericardial effusion in either group. An unexpected yet particularly interesting result of these experiments was the observed interaction of both FL and ANF with hypoxia. Relatively high, yet environmentally relevant concentrations of FL (100–500 µg L−1) interact with moderate hypoxia (7.3% DO) through an unknown mechanism, resulting in pericardial effusion and severe lordosis. Additionally, ANF exposures (100 µg L−1) which are not normally teratogenic caused dramatic pericardial effusion, but not lordosis, when embryos were coexposed to hypoxia. These results suggest that reduced CYP1A activity may not exclusively underlie observed developmental toxicity, and that hypoxia may exacerbate the developmental toxicity of some PAH mixtures.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are common environmental contaminants which originate primarily from the incomplete combustion of wood or petroleum products, with the majority coming from anthropogenic activities (Douben, 2003). This class of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is made up of hundreds of individual substances. Individual PAHs are known to be clastogenic, genotoxic, carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic. Concentrations of PAHs are highest in estuaries and coastal environments near urban areas, derived largely from wastewater effluents, industrial outfalls, atmospheric deposition, and fossil fuel spills or leaks (Latimer and Zheng, 2003). The toxicity of PAHs to developing fish embryos is well established (Billiard et al., 1999; Carls et al., 1999; Wassenberg et al., 2002; Wassenberg and Di Giulio, 2004; Incardona et al., 2005; Billiard et al., 2006; Incardona et al., 2006; Billiard et al., 2007). While individual PAHs can be quite toxic, they are always found as complex mixtures in the environment. Mixtures of PAHs can interact in a variety of ways, and it has proven to be extremely difficult to accurately predict the toxicity of complex mixtures (Reeves et al., 2001).
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) and Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) studies have shown that exposure to the model PAH β-naphthoflavone (BNF) or the environmentally relevant PAH benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) substantially increases cytochrome P4501A CYP1A) expression and activity, while co-exposure to the CYP1A inhibitors α-naphthoflavone (ANF) or fluoranthene (FL) blocks the BNF or BaP-mediated induction of CYP1A activity (Wassenberg and Di Giulio, 2004; Billiard et al., 2006). This reduction in CYP1A activity is thought to account for the synergistic developmental toxicity (e.g. pericardial effusion and jaw deformities) observed in BNF+ANF and BaP+FL coexposed embryos, effects not observed in embryos exposed to comparable doses of these compounds independently. This synergistic embryotoxicity seems to be a generalized response to the coexposure of an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) agonist and CYP1A inhibitor (Wassenberg and Di Giulio, 2004). The mechanisms through which this synergistic interaction occurs has been investigated (Wassenberg and Di Giulio, 2004; Billiard et al., 2006; Timme-Laragy et al., 2007). Billiard et al. (2006) employed a morpholino approach in zebrafish and confirmed that this interaction is AHR-mediated. Timme-Laragy et al. (2007) went on to show that this synergistic interaction with CYP1A inhibition, at least with BNF+ANF, is governed at the protein level, and not by alterations in mRNA expression. CYP1A mRNA was actually much higher in the coexposed fish, which contrasts sharply with BNF-induced CYP1A protein activity which is reduced by ANF. A plausible explanation for this interaction is that reduced metabolism, resulting from CYP1A activity inhibition, leads to prolonged activation of the AHR, which appears to underlie the developmental toxicities of recalcitrant AHR agonists, such as dioxins and co-planar PCBs (Prasch et al., 2003; Carney et al., 2004; Antkiewicz et al., 2005; Goldstone and Stegeman, 2006).
There is significant concern over potential interactions between PAHs and environmental hypoxia. Environmental hypoxia is a significant problem in many estuaries and marine coastal regions around the world, and global warming may exacerbate the problem through a variety of mechanisms (Diaz and Rosenberg, 1995; Schiedek et al., 2007). For obvious reasons, hypoxia can have dramatic effects on fish and other marine organisms. PAH contamination is ubiquitous in estuaries and marine coastal environments (Latimer and Zheng, 2003). PAHs come from multiple sources, are persistent, and significant reductions in PAH contamination are unlikely in the near future. Understanding the interactions between environmental hypoxia and PAHs will improve our understanding of ecological risks in these critical habitats.
Significant interaction between PAHs and environmental hypoxia is not unexpected given the overlap between the protein pathways that regulate the molecular response to these two stressors in vertebrates. The AHR pathway responds to a wide variety of exogenous chemicals, including some PAHs, and initiates both Phase I and Phase II metabolism, which facilitate the biotransformation and elimination of the chemicals. The hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) pathway initiates a cascade of events in response to low oxygen concentrations in cells, including vasculogenesis and angiogenesis (Ton et al., 2003). A previous study investigated the potential interactions of the AHR agonist 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) with hypoxia in zebrafish (Prasch et al., 2004). Prasch et al. (2004) documented directional cross-talk between the hypoxia and AHR pathways in zebrafish. Hypoxia exposure in zebrafish embryos resulted in a reduced AHR response, as measured by CYP1A mRNA, to TCDD. However, this TCDD exposure did not reduce the embryos' molecular response to hypoxia. Additionally, Hendon et al. (2008) failed to find any evidence that pyrene altered a hypoxia-responsive gene, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), in Cyprinodon variegatus. However, this study only examined the effect of pyrene on endogenously-controlled transcription of VEGF, not addressing the issue of hypoxia-induced VEGF transcription. The mechanism by which hypoxia interferes with the AHR pathway remains unknown. There are several proteins that are shared between these two pathways, with aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT) being the most well known. There are also several transcriptional coactivators which have been shown to alter AHR and/or hypoxia pathway responses (Kobayashi et al., 1997; Kasper et al., 2005; Ruas et al., 2005; Harper et al., 2006). This extensive overlap between these two signaling pathways suggests a potential for reciprocal cross-talk, likely through sequestration of one of these shared proteins. While the possible role of ARNT in hypoxia/AHR cross-talk continues to be explored (Prasch et al., 2004), previous research suggests that ARNT is not a limiting factor (Pollenz et al., 1999). It is also possible that a simple reduction of available oxygen reduces cellular function and thus alters the AHR response.
The first goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that reducing BaP or BNF-mediated CYP1A activity via hypoxia exposure in zebrafish embryos would elicit the same teratogenic response that is elicited by reducing CYP1A activity with chemical inhibitors or morpholinos. The second goal of this study was to look for evidence of unexpected interactions between environmental hypoxia and the PAHs used in these experiments.
The PAHs, BaP and FL were selected for this study because their effects on fish development have been demonstrated (Wassenberg and Di Giulio, 2004), and because they are often among the most prevalent PAHs at contaminated sites (Latimer and Zheng, 2003). BaP and FL are also identified by the US Environmental Protection Agency as being among the 16 priority pollutant PAHs (EPA, 1987). Fluoranthene has also been shown to cause increased mortality and growth inhibition in long-term (32 days) early-life-stage studies with the fathead minnow, Pimephales promelas (Spehar et al., 1999). BNF and ANF were used to confirm the generalized response to an AHR agonist and CYP1A inhibitors. The effects of, and response to, this combination of model PAHs has been well documented in fish embryos (Billiard et al., 2006; Timme-Laragy et al., 2007). ANF has also been shown to exacerbate the embryotoxicity of another PAH, retene (Hodson et al., 2007).
Adult zebrafish were fed a mixture of TetraMin® Tropical Flakes (Tetra, Blacksburg, VA) and live Artemia (Brine Shrimp Direct, Ogden, UT), and maintained at 26°C on a 14h light, 10h dark cycle. Males and females were housed together and eggs were collected via an egg collection box. Eggs were collected from the collection boxes, rinsed, and placed in 1X Danieau water (Nasevicius and Ekker, 2000). Eggs were then screened to ensure that they were fertilized and developing normally. Embryos were maintained at 28.5°C under the same photoperiod as the adults for the duration of the experiments. All fish care and experimental techniques were reviewed and approved by the Duke University Institutional Animal Care & Use Committee (A326-05-11).
Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), fluoranthene (FL), β-naphthoflavone (BNF), α-naphthoflavone (ANF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and ethoxyresorufin were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). BaP, FL, BNF, ANF, and ethoxyresorufin were dissolved in DMSO and stored in amber glass vials at −20°C. All chemicals were thawed and vortexed prior to administration. Dosing concentrations were based on previous experiments investigating the teratogenicity of PAH mixtures of killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) and zebrafish (Wassenberg and Di Giulio, 2004; Billiard et al., 2006). BaP exposures were conducted at nominal concentrations of 10 µg L−1. FL exposures were performed using nominal concentrations of 100 and 500 µg L−1. For BaP+FL mixtures, concentrations of 10 and 500 µg L−1, respectively, were used. The model PAHs BNF and ANF were also used to test for similar responses to the environmentally relevant PAHs, BaP and FL. BNF and ANF exposures were conducted at 1 and 100 µg L−1, respectively. Exposures conducted with mixtures of BNF+ANF were performed at the same concentrations. Normally developing zebrafish embryos were dosed at 24 hours post fertilization (hpf). Embryos remained in the original dosing solution for the duration of the experiments, which were ended at 96 hpf. Embryos were dosed in groups of five in 20-mL glass scintillation vials with 7.5 mL of 1X Danieau water. DMSO was used as the carrier control in all experiments; a final DMSO concentration of 0.03% was used in all exposures. At least three replicate groups of each exposure regime were dosed for each experiment. For experiments that included in vivo EROD analysis, 21 µg L−1 of ethoxyresorufin was also added at 24 hpf. At 96 hpf, following 72 h exposures, embryos were removed from the dosing solution and rinsed in 1X Danieau water. Dosing experiments were replicated at least three times.
For the purposes of this experiment, hypoxia exposures were all conducted at 7.3 % DO (2.7 mg L−1), or approximately 35% of normal oxygen levels. Normoxia exposures were conducted at normal oxygen saturation or approximately 20.8% DO (7.8 mg L−1). Hypoxia exposures were conducted identically to normoxia exposures with respect to temperature, light cycle, and dosing methods. However, for hypoxia exposures, vials were placed in a secondary chamber within the same incubator for the duration of the experiment (24 hpf – 96 hpf). The oxygen level was regulated in the acrylic secondary chamber using a Proox Model 110 (BioSpherix, Ltd., Redfield, NY) oxygen controller and nitrogen gas. Since atmospheric oxygen was regulated and not DO directly, it took several hours for DO levels to reach 7.3% DO. As a result, the actual time-period at which the full hypoxia exposures took place was approximately 32 hpf – 96 hpf.
CYP1A activity was measured via an in vivo ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity assay (Billiard et al., 2006), which was modified from in ovo EROD methods described by Nacci et al. (1998; 2005). Briefly, CYP1A metabolism converts ethoxyresorufin to resorufin, which was then quantified in the gastrointestinal tract of 96 hpf zebrafish larvae via fluorescence microscopy. Ethoxyresorufin was added to dosing solutions at 24 hpf, and at 96 hpf larvae were rinsed and anesthetized with MS-222 (Sigma-Aldrich). Larvae were then immobilized in 3% methylcellulose in a left lateral orientation for imaging. A detailed description of this method is provided in Billiard et al. (2006). EROD estimates are presented as % normoxia DMSO control, thus all estimates represent their deviation from a normal non-induced state.
All deformity screening was performed on 96 hpf larvae. Larvae were anesthetized, immobilized, and brightfield images captured at 50X were analyzed using IPLabs Software (BD Biosciences, Rockville, MD). The software calculated the 2-dimensional (2D) area of the pericardium after the area was manually traced. As there is no reliable method to convert the 2D pericardium area measurements to a 3D volume estimate, the 2D measurements used in this study likely underestimated the magnitude of pericardial effusion. Data are presented as the raw 2D pixel area of the pericardium.
Larvae were also screened for lordosis, a severe ventral curvature of the spine. Only larvae with obvious, beyond normal flexure of the spine, lordosis were categorized as having lordosis. Data were pooled by experiment for statistical analysis.
All data were analyzed using SPSS ver. 15 (Chicago, IL). All data were analyzed using ANOVA to test for significant differences among treatments. Bonferroni-corrected post hoc multiple comparisons were conducted to determine which pairwise comparisons were statistically significant. EROD and pericardial effusion data were analyzed using data pooled by exposure vial (generally 3 vials/treatment/experiment); however, lordosis data were analyzed by experiment due to the discrete nature of the data. Statistical significance was accepted at p ≤ 0.05 for all tests.
Larvae that had been dosed with BaP (10 µg L−1) showed expectedly high induction of CYP1A activity, 306% of non-induced DMSO, as measured via in vivo EROD assay (Fig. 1A). Fluoranthene coexposure reduced BaP-induced CYP1A activity by 46%. Hypoxia-induced reduction of BaP-mediated CYP1A induction was even more effective, reducing CYP1A activity by 60%, relative to BaP exposure under normoxic conditions. These data confirm that environmentally relevant hypoxia conditions (2.7 mg L−1) are capable of significantly reducing AHR function, and that the reduction in BaP-induced CYP1A activity is comparable to levels that have been shown to result in synergistic teratogenicity with these and other PAHs (Wassenberg and Di Giulio, 2004; Billiard et al., 2006; Matson et al., 2008). BNF exposures revealed a similar pattern, with BNF-induced EROD activity 502% of DMSO controls. ANF coexposure reduced BNF-mediated CYP1A activity by 76%, whereas hypoxia reduced BNF-induced CYP1A activity by 61% relative to normoxia BNF exposure (Fig.1B). While hypoxia did not reduce EROD activity as much as ANF in these BNF exposures, the difference was not statistically significant and both had less than 50% of the CYP1A activity of the normoxia BNF group.
The area of the pericardium was quantified in 96 hpf larvae and is presented as mean 2D pixel area of the pericardium (Fig. 2). DMSO controls, FL, hypoxia, BaP, and BaP+hypoxia exposure groups did not show any evidence of pericardial effusion. The BaP+FL-exposed larvae were the only fish in this experiment with significant pericardial effusion (64% larger than DMSO controls; Fig. 2A). The BNF/ANF experiment was quite similar to the BaP/FL data. DMSO controls, ANF, hypoxia, BNF, and BNF+hypoxia exposure groups did not have any significant pericardial effusion (Fig. 2B). However, there was a significant interaction between BNF and ANF resulting in a 77% larger pericardium, relative to DMSO controls.
The most striking interaction in this study was that of FL and hypoxia. While not a part of the original experiment, when FL+hypoxia coexposures were performed we discovered that unexpected, yet significant interactions occurred. Fluoranthene concentrations of both 100 and 500 µg L−1 resulted in significant pericardial effusion (Fig. 3) and lordosis (Fig. 4) when larvae were coexposed to environmental hypoxia. There was a significant dose-dependant response to FL under hypoxic conditions, with relative increases of 71% and 95% over controls in 2D area of the pericardium, with 100 and 500 µg L−1 respectively (p = 0.001, 2-way ANOVA, interaction of hypoxia and FL). There was also an interaction between ANF and hypoxia; however, the interaction seemed to cause severe cardiovascular toxicity and pericardial effusion, but not lordosis (Fig. 5). Quantification of pericardial effusion was not possible as the majority of ANF+hypoxia coexposed embryos were unusable, resulting from pericardial or yolk-sac ruptures during orientation in 3% methylcellulose prior to imaging. However, the experiment has been replicated and the results were consistent. There also seems to be an increase in mortality associated with the ANF+hypoxia phenotype, likely as a direct result of the extreme pericardial effusion. This response is similar to, but more extreme than, that of BNF+ANF coexposures.
There have been many mechanisms proposed to explain PAH toxicity and non-additive interactions (Billiard et al., 2007). These mechanisms have been incorporated into two hypotheses that attempt to explain the synergistic interaction of PAH-type AHR agonists and CYP1A inhibition. The first is that CYP1A inhibition significantly slows down metabolism of the AHR agonists, thus extending the half-life of the parent compound. The substantial increase in toxicity of the AHR agonists BaP and BNF via chemical or morpholino inhibition of CYP1A activity could support this hypothesis (Wassenberg and Di Giulio, 2004; Billiard et al., 2006; Matson et al., 2008). Whichever method of CYP1A knockdown is used, the result is the same. However, these studies only support this hypothesis if a reduction in CYP1A activity actually slows down Phase I metabolism. In support of this hypothesis, Hodson et al. (2007) were able to show that high concentrations of ANF significantly reduced the metabolism and excretion of retene in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. Our results with hypoxia appear to contradict the extended half-life hypothesis. Hypoxia may be interfering with the AHR pathway via cross-talk between the two molecular pathways or an overall reduction in cellular function. Either way, one would expect all of the AHR inducible genes to be downregulated by hypoxia. We expected to be able to address whether hypoxia was acting in a similar fashion to an AHR2 or a CYP1A morpholino. However, the complicating factor of the FL and ANF interactions with hypoxia prevented us from being able to adequately address whether hypoxia acts similarly to an AHR2 morpholino (i.e. rescues BAP+FL and BNF+ANF deformities). We have conclusively shown that hypoxia does not interact with BaP or BNF causing synergistic embryotoxicity, as is the case with CYP1A chemical inhibitors and morpholinos. The exact manner in which hypoxia interacts with PAHs and the AHR pathway is yet to be determined. It is possible that blocking the initiation of an AHR response (e.g. AHR2 morpholino) results in an entirely different response than blocking the response before it results in transcription (e.g. hypoxia), translation (CYP1A morpholino), or CYP1 activity (e.g. ANF or FL). This is clearly an area of research that needs to be pursued more fully.
A second hypothesis suggests that CYP1A inhibitors shift PAH metabolism towards more toxic metabolites. For example, Hodson et al. (2007) were able to document clear evidence of an ANF-induced shift in retene metabolism in rainbow trout dosed with low to intermediate concentrations of ANF. Work with CYP1A1 null mice also suggests that the metabolism of BaP by CYP1s other than CYP1A1 (i.e., CYP1B1) leads to increased production of BaP adducts, clearly suggesting that other CYP1s may be more likely to produce adduct forming BaP metabolites than CYP1A1 (Uno et al., 2001). While our hypoxia data do not directly support this hypothesis, it does suggest that simply slowing down metabolism is not sufficient to elicit teratogenicity. Since a hypoxia-mediated reduction in CYP1A activity does not elicit teratogenicity, perhaps the metabolic shift hypothesis might better explain observed patterns of teratogenicity. When CYP1A, CYP1B1, and CYP1C1 proteins are inhibited via an AhR knockdown or presumably hypoxia, no increase in teratogenicity is observed. A plausible hypothesis for the synergistic interaction of BaP and FL is that by reducing CYP1A activity, BaP metabolism is shifted to other enzymes, which may be less efficient, and/or more likely to produce toxic metabolites.
The lack of reciprocal cross-talk between the AHR and HIF-1α pathways is in agreement with previous research focusing on the potential for TCDD to interact with hypoxia (Prasch et al., 2004). This lack of cross-talk does not seem to protect fish from interactions between environmental hypoxia and at least some PAHs. While interactions between AHR agonist type PAHs and hypoxia were hypothesized because of the significant overlap of proteins on the AHR and HIF-1α pathways, and the potential for hypoxia to slow down PAH metabolism, the only significant interactions we found were with either partial AHR agonists or CYP1A inhibitors. While the mechanism through which FL and ANF interact with hypoxia to produce teratogenicity remains unknown, preliminary results from zebrafish AHR2 morpholino experiments suggest that this effect is independent of the AHR pathway (data not shown). Future work will evaluate the nature of these PAH/hypoxia interactions in a mechanistic framework. Regardless of the mechanisms responsible for this interaction, the fact that there is a significant increase in teratogenicity when embryos are coexposed to environmentally-relevant fluoranthene and moderate hypoxia poses a significant challenge for current environmental risk assessments of estuarine environments. Fluoranthene is one of the most abundant PAHs in contaminated marine environments (Latimer and Zheng, 2003). The prevalence of fluoranthene in the same estuaries where seasonal hypoxia occurs provides the potential for significant interactions, which could have profound effects on developing fish embryos. Also, it is currently unknown if this interaction may apply to other PAHs. Current risk assessment methods do not consider this previously unknown interaction.

Missing woman's family continues search
SECURITY, Colo. - The family of a missing Colorado woman hopes she'll be home for Mother's Day.
Julia Netzler, 52, went missing from her Security home on April 1. Her husband says she got out of bed at 5 a.m. He went to check on her an hour later and she was gone.
Her son, Daniel, told KRDO NewsChannel 13 that she left a note behind.
"It said she didn't want to be found, don't look for her," he said. "It said she wasn't going to hurt herself."
The family said that Netzler has a history of depression and is off her medication. They're concerned that she may not be aware of where she is or what she is doing.
Investigators say nothing at the scene suggests her disappearance involved foul play. However, she left her purse, wallet, cell phone and other items behind. Her car still sits in the family's driveway.
"It's not illegal for an adult to be missing but obviously it's still a concern," said Lt. Jeff Kramer with the El Paso County Sheriff's Office. "If you have someone who voluntarily chose to go somewhere and start life over, move to a new city and start over, you still need documents like your birth certificate to acquire a new identification."
Netzler's family believes she may be hanging around homeless shelters. They say she was deeply religious and wanted to help people. The only items she took with her were her bibles.
"We hope she's not going to hurt herself, but we're still going to look for her even though she doesn't want to be looked for," Daniel said.
Anyone with information regarding Julia's disappearance is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 719-390-5555.

Chapter 3; Part 1Mature
he morning was calm. Not a cloud littered the ground with shadows, and only a light wind escorted the leaves through the street.
Tommy rode his bike through the swathes of leaves left behind the storm, dispersing them.
He was on his way to the coffee shop to meet his friends. It was a weekday routine they had all agreed on a little over a year ago. Since three out of their group of seven worked at Geil's, it was convenient, and usually a good start to what always seemed like such a long day. The shop itself was placed in a pretty part of town anyway, and only a few blocks from Geil's, making it one of the best hang-out spots for the group.
Thomas very much enjoyed sitting near a window and looking out. Even on overcast days, the town was so peaceful it was hard to feel depressed. The little town square that the coffee shop sat in was always filled with people, and Thomas could name nearly all of them. Having lived in this town his whole life, he'd gotten to know very many of the residents, and since few people came or went, they all knew him as well. It was all very comfortable and relaxing to him.
He could remember one time, while he was in elementary school, a few older boys tried to rob him of his Gameboy on his walk home. He had been terrified and unsure what to do. He'd never had a problem with bullies (at least at this age), and though he'd seen and heard many conversations having to do with solving the issue, he'd never experienced it first-hand. So he ran. He ran all the way into town, all the while followed by the relentless boys, whom he soon realized weren't really after his Gameboy at all, just fresh meat to grind.
He ran into Juno's, a popular deli where everyone knew him, and pleaded to the employees to help him.
They ended up intercepting the boys on the sidewalk outside and calling their parents, who arrived a few minutes later, red-faced and angry.
He never had any issue with those boys again, or any other real bullies since. He merely dealt with the periodic mocking of fellow guys and a few girls who found him to be 'too nice' or 'soft'. Those comments he just rubbed off. He didn't care what they thought about him. And they were so few anyway.
When he arrived at the coffee shop, Taylor was already there, accompanied by his 'not-girlfriend', Sierra, and Cruise's girlfriend, Olivia.
Cruise and Sierra's brother were no where to be found.
"Hello," Thomas said casually as he pushed his bike into the rack on the sidewalk. His friends had chosen an outdoor table this time, shaded by a lush tree and lined with a few bushes in front.
"Hey." Taylor scratched his head, fixed his hair. Sierra was sitting right next to him. He was hoping he looked decent. He hardly brushed his hair this morning. He woke up late, hardly had time to brush his teeth before he had to jam.
Such a dumbass, he thought, inwardly slapping his forehead. Of course, the day Sierra decides to sit next to him he has to make such a screw-up.
Thomas smiled, reading his best friend like a book. He always thought it was funny how awkward Taylor was around Sierra, not in a jerky way, but in a, hey, I'm your best friend, I have to bug you, kind of way.
Taylor had never even had a girlfriend, so of course he didn't know how to act. He had short blonde hair that stuck up like he slept in hair gel all night, and dark brown eyes that always seemed to look rather vacant. Accompanied with the fact that he was scrawny and slightly seemed to resemble an emaciated dog, or maybe even an insect, he wasn't too attractive to girls. He knew he wasn't very attractive, too, and so he mainly kept to himself, and avoided most girls all together.
Thomas was kind of the same way, though certainly not unattractive. And he didn't try to avoid girls, really. Taylor was even awkward around female customers at Geil's, whereas Thomas had no problems talking to the opposite sex. He just had no idea how to ask a girl out. Besides that, he'd never really found anyone special. Sierra was sweet, and funny, but he wasn't wanting a romantic relationship with her. He known her for too long, it would almost seem awkward if they were to date. Besides, he still wanted to see if Taylor would ever find the balls to ask her out.
He sat down across from Sierra, diagonal from both Taylor and Olivia.
"What was up with the wind last night?" Olivia asked the moment he sat down. He had forgotten about it nearly all morning until she brought it up.
"That was weird, wasn't it?" Taylor answered. "It was perfect out all day until then."
"It pushed me off my bike," Thomas told them.
Sierra gave him an amazed look. "I know, right? The tree in my backyard? That huge branch that points out toward the mountains, it broke right off! Smashed our lawn-mower. Good thing I guess, my dad didn't really want to fix it, but damn!" She shook her head. "That branch was about as big around as Cruise and it looked like it just snapped like a twig."
"That was crazy scary last night," said Olivia.
"You don't think there's going to be a tornado or something?" asked Taylor. Sierra looked at him skeptically.
"If there would have been a tornado it would have been last night. And today is beautiful. There's hardly any wind, just a breeze."
"That's what it was like yesterday, too!" Taylor argued, then shut his mouth. He couldn't argue with Sierra, couldn't risk deterring her from him. She was the only girl (besides Olivia) that would ever hang out with him. But he knew his statement spoke the truth.
"Yeah, I know…It's just very unlikely."
Olivia smiled at someone over Thomas' shoulder. He turned to see Cruise pulling up his old '76 Jaguar. The thing ran like piece of crap, spitting out smoke from the exhaust and stalling every so often, but Cruise had to keep it. It's a Jaguar, dude, he'd say. Besides, I'll get it fixed one of these days. It had been about two years since that statement.
He slammed the door shut and started up the sidewalk toward their table, winking at his girlfriend and shooting a brief smile at the rest of them.
"'Sup Tom Cruise." Taylor smirked.
"Shut up, stickbug," Cruise retorted. It seemed rude, but stickbug was actually a somewhat affectionate name for Taylor, coming from Cruise. They had grown up next door to each other for years before Cruise's house got burned down by vandals; a rarity in Riverside.
Cruise had nearly black hair and brown-grey eyes, just like the actor with the same name (and yes, Cruise's first name was Tom. He preferred be called 'Cruise' because the name wasn't common, and for Thomas' sake), but a build slightly larger. He worked out at the local gym at least three times a week after work, which gave him a status among peers as 'popular', though most people knew he was an ass. Popular kids just don't care, as long as you're 'cool', which Cruise apparently was.
Thomas often wondered why Cruise hung out with them. Taylor he could somewhat understand, having lived next to each other and played around a bunch as kids, but other than that it was strange. He assumed it was because Olivia liked them, but even that was strange, because she was one of the 'popular' kids in high school as well. 'Populars' didn't hang out with people like Taylor, or Sierra, or even Thomas. Thomas had relatively level status in high school, Taylor a bit below, and Sierra a little popular, even somewhat well known for her skills in art. But there was no real reason as to why Olivia chose them to hang out with.
Maybe she was actually smart and realized how boring the popular kids can be. Maybe she secretly made fun of them behind their backs. Maybe it was just a combination between Cruise's friendship with Taylor and Olivia's fondness for Cruise.
Olivia smiled lovingly at her boyfriend of three years. "Hey. We were just talking about the wind last night."
"Crazy shit," he answered. "I woke up and my Jag was completely covered in leaves and shit."
"Probably where it belongs, bro," Taylor said to him.
"Fuck you, stickbug. She's beautiful." He turned to Olivia. "Like my other girl."
Thomas rolled his eyes as they kissed. They never seemed to get the message that PDA among their friend group wasn't very welcome. It was just awkward.
"Where's Freddie?" Thomas asked Sierra as soon as the make-out session was over.
"At home. Says he's sick."
Freddie was Sierra's hypochondriac brother. He always thought he had some kind of disease or severe illness that would somehow kill him or make him so debilitated that he'd wish he would have died. Even when he had a minor cold or flu bug, he'd ask to see a doctor to make sure it wasn't a prelude for something more deadly. He happened to be very well known at Riverside Hospital for that reason.
"Uh oh," Thomas muttered.
"Yup. He found a tick in his hair last night. Says he's absolutely sure he has Lyme disease. Drove him crazy when mom said she wouldn't take him to the hospital."
"I'm surprised he hasn't walked there already."
"Me too."

The Membership Examination of the College of Emergency Medicine (MCEM) is intended to assess the knowledge, skills and behaviours necessary for a doctor to be able to practise emergency medicine in the UK and Ireland, at the level required to be a senior decision maker. This means it is the hurdle which must be successfully negotiated prior to entry into higher specialist training. The sections on common presentations, communication, physical examination, psychiatry, practical procedures and resuscitation all contain important information that will be valuable to all candidates for their practice as well as for the examination. All the content is helpfully mapped to the College of Emergency Medicine curriculum which is the basis of training. This book, combined with a thorough knowledge of the curriculum and the College's own guidance for the exams, should prepare the candidate well.

I had heard of a 1933 Ford for sale. I located the owner and looked at the car in very rough shape but very straight. I finally talked him into trading for a 1961 Buick convertible that I was driving. so I moved the car to my cousins yard where it sat for about 2 years later I put it into the neighbors garage and started to dismantle it. We then purchased a house and the car was put into one stall of the 2 car garage. I dismantled the car and my brother helped me restore and paint the chassis and running gear. Most of the sheet metal parts I needed were purchased from Bob Drake. The rumble lid came from California and when it was leaning against the garage I notice something under the primer with the sun gleaming off it. I carefully sanded the outer skin and I found wording painted on it "The Road Ramblers".
The car then basically sat for about 4 more years until after we moved into our new house. I purchased mostly NOS parts for the restoration. Purchased a 1936 ford motor out of a junk yard and proceeded to rebuild it. It was bored out and new cylinder sleeves installed by a guy that was about 90 years old in the building where he had started a service garage in the 1920's. He still had a 1946 Ford sedan that was bought new and saved in the building. You could barely walk through the building because of all the auto parts and machining equipment. I stood in one spot and counted 5 boring bars that were still in the crates since new.
The car was finished by my brother after I went through my divorce and moved to a different city. He then drove it to where I was living in December when it was snowing. About in 1998 a new roof was needed on the house so I had to sell the car to pay for a new roof. Gosh I sure miss that car. I found out after selling the car that my dad had owned a 1934 5/W Coupe Ford when he was a youngster. Isn't that ironic?? To this day 1933 Fords are my favorite.

I adore Dante's Inferno and various other epic poems, and I feel that this scheme of writing is both engaging and enticing. I do not know of the meter, but I'll see if I can get my passages flowing like that of the nine circles, hopefully it will go well... my rhyme is aba bcb cdc ded... and so on until I end with a couplet.
"Hark, milord! Temper thy steel and beesech unto me
for what is the purpose of my visit to Hell?"
"Fair sir, do not jest yourself higher, for no Dante are thee
I implore you to see under no cause from me fell
to force you to be stationed in this bastion of fright. Though,
I suggest you take query to the man at the well."
"Aye milord." Spake forth the crude servant Nemisio.
He gathered belongings, strapped scabbard to waist before
venturing onward in an unbalanced gate. "Oh,
gentle soul, know you the generation of what's now in store?"
"To your person?" "Aye sir, to my person you see,
by some turn of luck, be this the most unfavorable chore,
I am belaboured a second tour of battle in Kriiz."
"Sir, mayhaps I can help you. Discover me on the 'morrow
come the risen patriarch, before your rueful leave,
Perchance the occasion will prove thorough
to remove this most unneeded sorrow."

"Yes, my Mother is a wonderful person. To tell the truth, I would marry someone in a heartbeat if they were like her, no matter the gender. I love her so much." He gasped and I turned to smile at him. "Do you think the same of your Mother?" He shook his head.
"Oh no! I couldn't! That would be...disastrous for all involved! Two of my Mother would cause panic throughout the land." I laughed at the pure panic in his voice and gave him a gleaming smile.
"I guess vampire mothers are different from human mothers huh? But then again, everyone's Mother is different from each other." We got to a set of stairs that I had to slowly work my way down because otherwise I was going to kill myself if I moved too fast. The steps down were doing terrible wonders to my headache that was now less of an army of drummers and an entire race of screamo fans singing along to their favourite song. We had to stop for a minute at the base of the stairs until I felt I could move without my brain exploding. We continued across the marble floor and I knew we were getting close when we started to walk on carpet and we could spot maids and servants standing along the carpet.
"Master Meir, should I inform the chefs to begin to prepare the meal now that all of our guests are conscious?" Meir nodded and the butler who asked the question rushed off. He looked familiar but that was when my eyes freaked the crap out and when I looked at his disappearing form he looked like a screaming skeleton. Slightly disturbed by what I saw I continued along the carpet but Meir stopped me by grabbing my hand.

(St. Louis, MO)
My son Chris, one of the best friends I could ever have,passed away on February 24, 2013. He was 28 years old. At an early age of 19 he was diagnosed with a kidney disease called FSGS. Four years ago he was put on dialysis, in which he did 3 times a week for some 5 1/2 hours per treatment. Through all that he was such a trooper. He continued to work a full time job,for two years, still doing dialysis. He was fired from his job because of the dialysis situation. Two years later he found a job working at a movie theater that he really enjoyed. He was quite a movie buff. He was not eligible for a kidney transplant due to being overweight. He had to be at a certain weight in order to even be on a transplant list. He dieted as much a possible, but opted for a gastric bypass surgery on January 18. It looked like everything was successful until two days after the surgery and developed complications from the surgery. We spent 33 days in ICU, and some 8 surgeries later, he died on a Sunday leaving his dad and I and his sister devastated. We can not believe he is gone from our lives. The last 6 weeks just seem like such a blur. We never left his side for the entire 6 weeks,someone staying the night with him every night. It just doesn't seem fair. He was such a wonderful person and so loved by everyone. I'm not sure how we will get through this. I'm so tired of everyone saying "Everything happens for a reason." What reason is there for a young man to die so young trying to get healthy. Chris was well loved in our community and in our circle of friends and acquaintances. He just had no idea of the impact he had on so many lives. My only hope was to hear him tell me one last time that he loved us. I know he's in a better place and that there's no more pain for him, but that just can't heal the hurt and lose we all feel.
Patty, Chris' mom

Recycling Carts en Route
Published: February 6, 2009
Waste Connections delivers new carts to Oak Ridge, Tenn., residents in conjunction with the new recycling rewards program
The city's garbage contractor plans to begin delivering big, new recycling carts to Oak Ridge residents on Monday for a recycling rewards program to begin next month.
"It will take a couple of weeks to get all of these assembled and delivered," said Gary Cinder, Oak Ridge Public Works director.

The 65-gallon bins with wheels will be delivered by Waste Connections and may be used immediately for the existing recycling program, according to a city newsletter.
The carts have identification chips in them that can be used to track the amount of waste recycled under the new rewards program. Offered through a partnership between Waste Connections and Recyclebank, the program is meant to encourage residents to recycle and is scheduled to start March 2.
The new program will give residents discounts at national, regional and local businesses, based upon the amount they recycle each month.
A half-dozen local businesses have already signed up to participate by offering rewards. According to the city newsletter, the businesses include:
• Oak Ridge Bowling Center;
• Expressions Salon;
• Connie's Naturally Gourmet;
• Firehouse Subs;
• Kittrell's Paint and Wallpaper; and
• Merle Norman Cosmetics.
The newsletter said more local businesses are being added.
The new program allows homeowners to use a single container to recycle mixed paper, mail, magazines, phone books, cardboard, glass, newspapers, metal and aluminum cans, and plastics No. 1 through 7.
Residents will be able to track their recycling points online at www.Recyclebank.com.
In order to join the program, city garbage rates have been raised by $2 per home per month.
Tom Hernandez, regional manager for Recyclebank in New York City, has said a household could earn around $240 worth of rewards per year under the new program. At the same time, residents will be helping to increase the amount of recycling and reduce the amount of waste that goes into landfills.
Oak Ridge is the first to sign up for the company's program in the South or Southeast, and one of about 40 cities signed up for the program across the United States now, Recyclebank executives said late last year.
Since Oct. 1, Oak Ridge residents have been able to recycle a wider range of materials through Waste Connection's weekly trash pickup program.
For more information about the Recyclebank program, call the new Oak Ridge recycling hotline at (865) 425-3619, extension 506, or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Residents may also visit Recyclebank online at www.Recyclebank.com. Alternatively, they can call Recyclebank at (888) 727-2978 or Waste Connections at (865) 482-3656.
