Minneapolis VA Health Care System
NW Metro Outpatient Clinic Moving Ahead
October 19, 2010
The VA announced October 19 that plans are moving ahead for a community-based outpatient clinic (CBOC) to be built in Ramsey, MN, a suburb northwest of Minneapolis. Deadlines for possible protests have passed.
A groundbreaking event will be held on Monday, Nov. 8th, at 10:00am. Public is invited.
7545 Civic Center Drive NW
Ramsey, Minnesota 55303
PSD LLC, a Ramsey, MN-based company, was awarded the lease in July. The lease is for 20,000 square feet of clinic space in a free-standing building located at the NE corner of Sapphire Street NW and Civic Center Drive in the 7400 block of Civic Center Drive.
The lease is for a firm term of five years with options to extend up to a maximum of twenty years. Design and construction of clinic space will be complete in approximately 12 months.
The clinic will provide a wide range of services including primary care, mental health care and audiology.
The clinic will be staffed and managed by the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, which currently operates clinics in the following Minnesota communities: Hibbing, Cook, St. James, Mankato and Maplewood. In Wisconsin, there are clinics in Superior, Hayward, Rice Lake and Chippewa Falls.

Deadliest Catch – Season 7 – It's Not All Mai Tai's and Yahtzee
Here we are again, time for yet another edition of the show that puts the "real" in reality….Deadliest Catch! Last week we saw a plethora of pain throughout the boats, with injuries, blood, bones and dead birds galore. What will this week bring as the brave captains and crew of the Bering Sea fleet venture…Details

And the winner in the diamond jubilee media stakes – at least at this stage – must surely be the Daily Mail. Those special columns, the "Diamond Jubilettes"; that wonderful "Complete Procession Guide" with its sage advice to "Go early, but don't go hungry"; those tens of thousands of copies printed on special gold paper and its "Golden Extra" souvenir edition; that fantastic leader … "The jubilonged-for day is upon us at last. Before these words are read, six million people will have started out to jubiline the streets by day and jubiline them by night" as "the great pageant unrolls itself majestically before our eyes".
Oh, I know: that was all for Queen Vic, not Queen Liz, and was put on by Alfred Harmsworth, not Paul Dacre. But it's amazing how almost nothing changes over 115 years once you put your flummery on.

Mumbai: Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif's love has started blooming once again since quite some time. Although both never admit openly but there has something been cooking between the two. Both are spotted together. Kat is seen among Khan's family. They are shooting together and enjoying moments during the filming at various world locales. Both take special care of each other. What is all this? This is absolutely beyond the friendship.
Well, they are shooting together in a movie 'Ek Tha Tiger' and the next schedule of the film will be shot in the gorgeous and warm locales of Cuba. Both Kat and Salman are geared up to pack the baggage to go there. The stars are pretty excited for the outdoor rather international shoot and that too in Cuba.
Director Kabir Bedi has specially chosen this localtion keeping in mind Salman's neurological condition. Since the weather in Cuba is warm, Salman will not have any problem there and his health will not be affected by the weather as well.
A close source reveals that Khan's neuro condition is not utterly recovered yet and by the time the shooting was going on in the freezing cold locations of the Ireland, his health went worse. This is the reason, this time, the location has been selected as per Salman's health.
Katrina Kaif is supremely excited for the Cuba shooting. She has never been there and she is looking after for the filming there. It is being said that she would also be taking good care of her ex-beau during the shootings.
Both have been quite caring for each other since quite some time. And even Salman had invited her over the family bash at New Year's Eve in Dubai. In Dublin and Istanbul for the film's shooting, both were quite close to each other as well (as per the reports).

Mats $100 shipped to 55123 and you've got a deal! Not willing to go any higher.
This is a discussion on FS: Weathertech, Rally Armor, Perrin, etc. within the Personal For Sale & Wanted forums, part of the ClubWRX.net Marketplace category; Mats 0 shipped to 55123 and you've got a deal! Not willing to go any higher....
Mats $100 shipped to 55123 and you've got a deal! Not willing to go any higher.
Forgot to say thanks when they came, lol. Still haven't used either. Yet. As soon as I get finished with returning to stock, sell this and get the STi, I'll see how well it works to run 2 sets of Hellas. So, thanks!! And free bump!!
Hawkeye Alliance #1050
Build Thread
Always dirty, never scurred......
$125 shipped for the mats and Ill take them
Happy holidays, still have the mats, air filter and cleaning kit. I'll do $35 shipped on the combined filter+cleaning kit. Mats, still looking for $140 shipped CONUS.
Continuing to beat the dead horse. $130 shipped CONUS on the mats, $30 for the filter+cleaning it.
Someone would have to be nuts to buy those mats for anything over $100! They're not new which makes them used which makes you want to sell them to me for $100 🎅🎁
how much is shipping? say to 24501? These mats are not new or even clean by any means so its hard to pay what your asking... and the weathertech site offers free shipping promos all the time. what would you really take for these? Its been a solid year since you posted this man you have to be ready to sell by now!
I'm beating a dead horse. They're used, I get it, doesn't mean they are worth any less. Right now, these mats are $169.95+$18 shipped. Shipping from Philly to LA would cost $30. I'm just trying to get my some ROI, sue me. Looking for $125, that's 33% off of Weathertech's price.
Still have the floor mats?

1.1 Introduction
During the last decades, optics is playing an increasingly important role in acquisition, processing, transmission, and archiving of information. In order to underline the contribution of optics in the information acquisition process, let us mention such optical modalities as microscopy, tomography, speckle imaging, spectroscopy, metrology, velocimetry, particle manipulation, etc. Data transmission through optical fibers and optical data storage (CD, DVD, as well as current advances of holographic memories) make us everyday users of optical information technology. In the area of information processing, optics also has certain advantages with respect to electronic computing, thanks to its massive parallelism, operating with continuous data, possibility of direct penetration into the data acquisition process, implementation of fuzzy logic, etc.
The basis of the analog coherent optical information processing is the ability of a thin convergent lens to perform the Fourier transform (FT). More than 40 years ago, Van der Lugt introduced an optical scheme for convolutionâcorrelation operation, based on a cascade of two optical systems performing the Fourier transform with filter mask between them, initiating an era of Fourier optics. This simple scheme realizes the most important shift-invariant operations in signalâimage processing, such as filtering and pattern recognition. Nowadays, the Fourier optics area has been expanded with more sophisticated signal processing tools such as wavelets, bilinear distributions, fractional transformations, etc. Nevertheless, the paraxial optical systems (also called first-order or Gaussian ones, which consist for example from several aligned lenses, or mirrors) remain the basic elements for analog optical information processing.
In paraxial approximation of the scalar diffraction theory, a coherent light propagation through such a system is described by a canonical integral transform (CT). Thus starting from the complex field amplitude at the input plane of the system, we have its CT at the output plane. The two-dimensional CTs include, among others, such well-known transformations as image rotation, scaling, fractional Fourier and Fresnel transforms. We can say that the CTs represent a two-dimensional signal in different phase space domains, where the phase space is defined by the position and momentum (spatial frequency) coordinates. The signal manipulation in different phase space domains opens new perspectives for information processing. Indeed, several useful applications of the first-order optical systems for information processing have been proposed in the past decade. In particular first-order optical systems performing fractional Fourier transform have been used for shift-variant filtering, noise reduction, chirp localization, encryption, etc.

3 diet myths busted
By Nicci Micco, January 4, 2010 - 11:50am
Nicci asks: What diet myths do you want to know the truth about?
Can one eat healthy carbs with protein/healthy fats and still lose weight? Is there such a thing as food combination?
Thank you

the diet myth i want to see busted is the blood-type or body-type diets, or any diet that makes it sound as if you just have to find the magical combination of foods for your body. is there some truth to that for each individual? maybe, b/c we feel better when we avoid certain things that each of our bodies doesn't seem to like for some reason. but i am tired of those other diets. it's calories in, calories out. thanks, eatingwell, for having some sense and a balanced, healthy approach!!

this is true i lost twenty pound by exercising and watching calories and portion control i also ate a snack three hours after each meal and my snacks range from one to two hundead calories you cannot lose weight for good if you go on crash diets the weight will come back and its not healthy for your body

I agree with changing what you eat. I did and only for stomach problems, not to loose weight. I cut out red meat, dairy, and potatoes and increased vegetables, and lost 6 lbs.in less than 2 weeks. I felt better, still have problems, I always will but it matters what you eat!! I eat Cereal for breakfast, salad for lunch and loads of veggies for dinner.When I go off this my stomach let's me know!

I have always seen over 3Mbps in my Teletalk(at least in my office and home), and that 3G. 3.5G has the capacity to deliver upto 21Mbps. But whats the point of making it 3.5 or 3.9 or 3.99G when they still provide that lower speed (people reporting they get only 1Mbps in Robi Sheirom 3.5G, in their WIC). And try to think what they will charge for 21Mbps in Bangladesh. Take a guess!
Cant find App Store in your iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad? It could be any version of the device. And you really cant find App Store even in Spotlight Search? No Clue?
We have solution for it, Lol! Its weird situation, with easy solution.
Continue reading…
This might happen while you trying to JailBreak then something went wrong, and you end up with a iPhone which had nothing but Apple Logo in it. And you can't do any thing with it. You can't turn it off completely or restart or even no response while you connect it to PC/Mac and no response from iTune too.
Here I will explain solution to this problem and details about DFU and Recovery Mode.
In this tutorial I will show you How To Tether An iPhone 3G To any Operation system including Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Ubuntu and also Mac OS X and use internet connection. Bangla Version could be found here –
BDBlog.Net(Ok, I have dropped BDBlog.net project, find the Bangla version at this TechTunes page.)
Just few days back, read an article on wp dev blog about wordpress on the go. But there the writer, she tried clear comment junk via iPhone. Here I am now trying to post blog article.
I had CCNA class today, but after the class while trying to get back home there comes Dhaka's pathetic jam. So thought lets give it a try. I am using WordPress iPhone Apps on IPhone 3G.
iPhone or iTune OS 3.0 and newer version works with Google Sync Service.
Read This Google Sync With iPhone
Synchronize the built-in Mail, Calendar and Contacts apps on your iPhone with your Google account.
* Get push Gmail on your iPhone
* View multiple Calendars in different colors
* Synchronize your contacts with Google
Today I suddenly got this trouble. All on a sudden I can't do any thing with my iPhone. My iPhone is now Firmware 2.2.0 with Baseband version 02.28. Its unlocked and working flawlessly. I just changed the springboard theme image and iPhone becomes non-responsive.
1. Completely black screen. Nothing on the screen at all.
2. Could receive calls.( in the beginning i was able to enable while receiving calls).
3. Nothing happens on touching screen, or pushing home buttons or any other button.
4. I examined and find out i could actually shut down and restart my phone. Though nothing on-screen at all.
5. Works and shows perfect on iTunes. Works perfect in iTunes, you could Sync back or even add any song or any apps via iTunes while connected with pc.
6. Could even charge.
After all main thing is nothing in screen, absolutely nothing. The screen remains dead.
That's the sweet part. Solution is easy. Just push home button and power button simultaneously for at least 10 seconds. It will reset the phone without harming any data or setting. Now just start the phone as usual with power button. It will show Apple logo a bit longer, but it will start accurately and all problem solved.
BTW if you want to unlock your 2G or 3G iphone with latest available firmware you could use UnlockAlliPhone.com
UnlockAlliPhone.com is the best service you could find online.

Whatever the reason, you will have to purchase data a la carte if you need more than 20 GB. Another tidbit passed along to us is that Verizon is making a massive internal push with sales associates to promote the Share Everything plans – employees are getting rewarded for switching people to the shared data plans at the same rate as they would normally get for extending a contract. We were told that employees who are successful at switching customers over are in line to make "quite a bit of money".
We've written before about why Verizon is so intent on shared plans, with the biggest perk being that customers may feel like they are getting a deal when they give up their grandfathered unlimited data plans (and give them up you will, sooner or later). Depending on how much data your family uses, you may actually stand to save some money (especially as you add tablets or other non-voice devices).
Just be sure to educate yourself ahead of time – log in to your account (or look at a My Verizon app on your phone) and find out how much data you and everyone else that will share the plan uses on average. Then check out an online calculator or a comprehensive list of deals to find the best deal before you go to the store. Verizon sales associate will be more than happy to help you, but some of them may be more interested in their own pocket books than they are in yours, so get informed before you go!

5. Green Tea to Quell Inflammation
Even if coffee is your beverage of choice, don't bag tea altogether—especially green tea. Green tea is full of potent antioxidants that help quell inflammation. (Chronic inflammation plays a significant role—as either a cause or effect—in many diseases, including type 2 diabetes, autoimmune diseases and the three top killers in the United States: heart disease, cancer and stroke.) In fact, researchers from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Lubbock recently found that green tea can inhibit oxidative stress and the potential inflammation that may result from it. "After 24 weeks, people who consumed 500 mg of green tea polyphenols daily—that's about 4 to 6 cups of tea—halved their oxidative stress levels," says Leslie Shen, Ph.D., the study's lead author. (The placebo group didn't see a single change.)

State Leaders Delay Budget Talks
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Legislative leaders have delayed budget
negotiations between the Florida House and Senate until they get
closer to agreeing on several issues.
Talks had been scheduled Monday, but were put on hold by House
Speaker Larry Cretul and Senate President Jeff Atwater.
The chambers still disagree on the overriding issues of how big
the budget should be, where the money should come from and how much
should be allocated to big-money areas such as education and health
The Senate's $65.6 billion budget for the fiscal year starting
July 1 is more than a half billion dollars higher than the House
version. The Senate bill also includes a tobacco tax increase not
in the House plan and more money from gambling.

Thanks to everyone who came to today's session of the Productive Scholar, which featured the advantages of using Styles in your documents. I'd like to follow up about the question asked about how to make a header (or footer) that has the auto-generated phrase, "page (current page number) of (total number of pages in document)."
While it's mostly true that the new "ribbon" in Microsoft Office makes many tools more visible, it took me 20 minutes to find the right place to add fields to text. Ironically, the new place these features are tucked away is called "Quick Parts;" on the Mac, the tools you'll need remain on the top menu level of the "Insert" tab. You'll notice that there are many other values other than page numbers in the "Fields" options.
If you want to know how to enter fields that will automatically generate content, there are steps and images below, for both PC and Mac.
Note: clicking on the images below will open them larger, in a pop-up window.
Step 1
Open the "Insert" tab in the MS Word ribbon, or the "Document Elements" tab on the Mac to insert a header (or footer).
(images below show MS Word 2010 for PC and MS Word 2011 for Mac)
Step 2
The "Quick Parts" icon on a PC will offer you the option to insert a field. The field value for "current page" on a PC is "Page." On the Mac, open the "Insert" menu and select "Field."
Step 3
The Field for the total pages in document on a PC is "NumPage" or "SectionPages" on a Mac.
Step 4
Insert the date (PC and Mac) by going to "Date and Time" on the "Insert" tab. Pick the format you want, and make sure the "Auto Update" feature is enabled.
Step 5
The final header! Blue highlighted text is what I typed manually. The grey highlights are fields, and are auto-generated and auto-updated when you open your document. Hovering over the fields gives you the option to update.

How to Search for Videos and DVDs
In the box below, add the term "videorecording" to your search terms
Hints for better searching
- Keep your search terms brief and general: children hospital videorecording instead of treatment of children in hospitals videorecording.
- Use an asterisk (*) to search for several similar words at once: child* videorecording will return video and DVD results containing child, child's, children, and children's.
- For more targeted searches, use quotation marks to search for words together: "child welfare" videorecording will only return results where those words appear as a phrase.

Bicheno /ˈbɪʃɛnoʊ/ is a town on the east coast of Tasmania, Australia, 185 km north-east of Hobart on the Tasman Highway, with a population of 853.[1] It is part of the municipality of Glamorgan/Spring Bay. The town is primarily a fishing port and a beach resort.
The town was named after James Ebenezer Bicheno, the British Colonial Secretary for Van Diemen's Land from 1843 to 1851.
The first historical reference to the place that was to become Bicheno was made by Brian May during his circumnavigation of Van Diemen's Land. He landed here (when it was known as Waubs Harbour) to dry his provisions. From 1803 Waubs Harbour was used as a whaling port. Bicheno was proclaimed a township in 1866. Bicheno Post Office opened as a receiving house on 1 January 1855.[2]
Near the tennis courts is the grave of Wauba Debar (after whom Waub's Harbour was named), an aboriginal who was stolen from her tribe as a teenager to become a "sealer's woman". Her bravery in rescuing two sealers in a storm is commemorated by a headstone.[3][4]
The hinterland was established for farming in the mid-1840s, which continues today. Coal was discovered in 1848. In 1854, the harbour was expanded to provide port facilities for the coal mines at Denison River. The coal was transported to the port via a 5‑km horse-drawn tramway.
The use of Bicheno as a coal port was short-lived. The discovery of gold in Victoria saw most of the residents depart in 1855 and for nearly a century, Bicheno became a sleepy little fishing village. Fishing has continued to be the lifeblood of the town with substantial quantities of crayfish, abalone, scallops and trevally. In recent times it has become a popular tourist destination, with a range of accommodation, craft shops, two small aquaria, and a visitor centre. Visitors are also attracted to the little penguin colony on adjacent Diamond Island A nearby point of interest is the Bicheno Blowhole. A famous resident is the world champion swimmer Shane Gould.
In September 2003 a memorial to the Merchant navy was unveiled in Bicheno.[5] Five months later, in February 2004, the town presented a freedom of entry charter to the Australian Merchant Navy, the first time any locality in the world has granted 'freedom of the city' to the merchant Navy.[6] Local primary school children have been appointed custodians of this memorial, built near Wauba Debar's grave.
At the Australian federal election, 2016 the Bicheno booth recorded the following number of votes for each party: Liberal 278 (46.88%), Labor 178 (30.03%), The Greens 85 (14.33%), Recreational Fishers 44 (7.42%), Renewable Energy 6 (1.01%) & Christian Democrats 2 (0.34%).

Is The Time Right To Spread Your Risk?
Posted by Andrew Rose on May 15, 2012
- 563 Recommendations
- 0 comments
For many years, security professionals have lived by the three pillars of risk management – AVOID, TREAT, ACCEPT. These great tenets have served the profession well, enabling CISOs to build appropriately secure networks at a tolerable level of cost. Unfortunately, as evidenced by the litany of security breaches we have seen over the past 12 months, it's clear that the landscape is changing. More than ever before, security is clearly a 'no-win' game.
The high profile attackers, state-sponsored or otherwise, are one threat – but it goes deeper than this. The keys to the kingdom are no longer in the hands of the generals and policy makers; their decisions and discussions are enabled by email, IM and IP telephony, all of which sit firmly in the domain of the IT department and system admin – and stressed, poorly paid employees do not make the ideal custodians of such critical information. As an example, Anonymous claims to have access to every classified government database in the US, but they didn't hack them – disaffected system administrators and employees simply opened the doors for them, or sent them the access codes.
As the broadening gap between our ambitions for a secure enterprise and our abilities to deliver on such a vision become self-evident, the time has come to pay equal attention to the poor cousin of risk management, "TRANSFER." For many CISOs, risk transference is a topic that is largely theoretical as, even when a task is outsourced, the risk associated with a breach commonly remains with the data owning organisation. Cyber insurance offers a different solution.
Theoretically, cyber insurance can enable a company to experience an information breach and avoid many of the negative financial and reputational impacts. This sounds ideal, yet many CISOs are still reluctant. Could it be the cost of cover, the complexity of getting the right policy or a simple lack of faith that an insurance company will pay-out when the breach actually occurs?
Join me at the Forrester Security Forum in Las Vegas, and subsequently in Paris, where we will be talking about this topic and more. Join in the discussion using the #FSF12 (Las Vegas) and #SFE12 (Paris) hashtags.

text: No guide-related problems, and no troubles scheduling recordings. I haven't really compared the PQ with the verizon box. I switched to fios tv simultaneously with getting the S3s. I had them put in a box, but quite honestly, except for a few minutes of playing around with the VOD features, I haven't used it. Once my full new home theater setup is done (still working on the component video matrix switching for the other TVs in the house), I'll show the VOD stuff to my wife. If she can live without it (and I'm certain she can - we never do PPV even, since we always have plenty to watch on the Tivos), we'll send the box back. Tom

Rob van Kranenburg has written a new report for the Institute of Network Cultures.
The Internet of Things is the second issue in the series of Network Notebooks. It's a critique of ambient technology and the all-seeing network of RFID by Rob van Kranenburg. Rob examines what impact RFID and other systems, will have on our cities and our wider society. He currently works at Waag Society as program leader for the Public Domain and wrote earlier an article about this topic in the Waag magazine and is the co-founder of the DIFR Network. The notebook features an introduction by journalist and writer Sean Dodson.
… Rob van Kranenburg outlines his vision of the future. He tells of his early encounters with the kind of location-based technologies that will soon become commonplace, and what they may mean for us all. He explores the emergence of the "internet of things", tracing us through its origins in the mundane back-end world of the international supply chain to the domestic applications that already exist in an embryonic stage. He also explains how the adoption of he technologies of the City Control is not inevitable, nor something that we must kindly accept nor sleepwalk into. In van Kranenburg's account of the creation of the international network of Bricolabs, he also suggests how each of us can help contribute to building technologies of trust and empower ourselves in the age of mass surveillance and ambient technologies.
There's a launch party in October, if you happen to be in Amsterdam. Kudos to Léon & Loes for the great design.
As you may imagine from my writing lately (here, here), the word "Bricolabs" caught my attention. From their site:
A distributed network for global and local development of generic infrastructures incrementally developed by communities.
A global platform to investigate the new loop of open content, software, and hardware for community applications, bringing people together with new technologies and distributed connectivity, unlike the dominant focus of IT industry on security, surveillance, and monopoly of information and infrastructures.
You can go to the Institute of Network Cultures blog to download a copy and learn more
about it.

I recently started making some videos (not bumpers) using a GoPro and someone mentioned I should get a bumper for the front end of them. I didn't even know what that was. In doing some research I found this site that appears to have 1000's of them. Based on what I'm seeing if I'd like to add one I'm assuming I need the software it was built in to modify it? If I don't have the software are there people that will do it for me at a charge?
If I posted this in the wrong forum I apologize…just feeling my way around here.
Hi Jeff, many authors offer Customization service. If you see something you like you can contact the author through his profile page.
In case he doesn't offer customization you can always ask here in the forum for people who can do it for you (I can do it, btw). But it is fair to first ask the person who created the animation.
Thanks for the reply.
I'm sure it depends on the complexity of the file and changes to be made but what is an estimate for an easy change like text?
That highly depends not only on the file but also the author. But you better get used to the idea of spending more money on the customization than on the template

A paper clip fell into the pool and left some metal stains on the plaster. How can I get them off?
Jack Beane:
There are plenty of products on the market that will quickly remove a metal stain without damaging the finish of the pool.
And there's a little trick to dealing with rust on plaster: Run the pool's water through an oxidation reduction process first. That'll make the stain pop right off when you treat it.
Bob Harper:
Since acids remove fresh metal stains fairly effectively, and the stain is isolated to one specific area, topical treatment should work just fine. One method is to pour dry acid (sodium bisulphate) into a white tube sock. Wearing a rubber glove, place the sock immediately on the stain and gently rub. Another trick is to purchase a length of 1 ½-inch white, PVC pipe. Place the section of pipe over the stain and pour an acid (preferably dry acid) through the pipe and directly onto the stained area. Allow contact for 5 minutes, then brush the area with a pool brush.
Joseph Laurino:
Stains from metals, such as iron, copper, cobalt and manganese, can usually be removed from plaster and fiberglass surfaces using a stain removal product containing ascorbic acid, oxalic acid or citric acid. These materials are known as reducing agents (or anti-oxidants) and they convert the metal stain into its soluble (ionic) form. While these agents often reduce metal staining, they do not remove the metals from the water. Thus, the results are temporary and the stains frequently return.
To prevent the stains from reforming, you must add another product. Currently, there are two options. One is to sequester the metal in the water and limit its reactivity. The second option is to remove the metal from the water chemically using a product designed to accomplish this.
What causes calcium nodules in plaster, and why does it seem to only happen on pools that are done in the winter?
Jack Beane:
Causes of nodules can include de-lamination and shrinkage cracks in the plaster. With some cracks, water can actually flow behind the plaster and back out through a fissure; as it flows back out, it brings salts to the surface with it. These problems can be caused by thin plaster, a wet mix, or other mistakes in surface preparation. It often takes a while to figure out exactly what errors may have been made, and to form a reasonable opinion based on the facts.
An undissolved piece of calcium chloride can also create a discoloration or growth on the surface of the pool, but that isn't usually the cause. It's more likely an underlying substrate issue.
Jerry Werner:
The calcium nodules are efflorescence, which is caused by soluble salts in the concrete mix, and activated by water moving through the concrete. These salts are deposited on the surface. As the water evaporates, the salts are left to dry.
During the winter months, calcium chloride is commonly added to heat up the mix, which provides additional soluble calcium salts. The slower evaporation rate in the winter allows more salts to appear on the surface.
This condition can be controlled by using a sealant solution during construction to waterproof the concrete shell; this stops the movement of water through the concrete.
All my chemicals are in balance according to my test strips, but I still have some algae on the walls. Why?
Jack Beane:
It could be an excessive level of cyanuric acid in the water; this makes chlorine less effective, as is demonstrated through an oxidation reduction potential (ORP) test. In addition, it is always prudent to add an algaecide when you have algae. Balanced water does not kill algae.
Bob Harper:
Housekeeping, such as brushing pool walls, is very important in algae prevention. Some algae are free floating and others are surface clinging. This type, on the walls, is of the surface-clinging variety. This is usually remedied by a vigorous brushing of the walls immediately following a chlorine shock treatment and/or algaecide addition.
Circulation also plays a key role in algae prevention. Algae tend to take footholds in "dead zones" which can be in corners, around stairs or, really, any area of the pool. As water moves throughout the pool, it will take the path of least resistance — from return to skimmer or main drain in the quickest, easiest fashion.
Recognizing the dead zones and either eliminating them by angling returns or changing the percentage of skimmer/main drain suction is important in promoting proper circulation.
Joe Sweazy:
There are a couple of reasons why you could have balanced water and still have algae. An excess level of nitrate nitrogen can cause algae growth even in water that seems properly balanced. Test the nitrate level and treat the nitrates accordingly. This may require partial drain and refill.
Additionally, algae growth can occur in areas of the pool with poor circulation where chlorinated water is not able to treat the particular area. This can occur from blockage or obstacles in the pool, or just because of the direction of the return jets.
George Belarski:
The chemical concentrations for water balance may have a lot to do with the overall condition of the water and long-term condition of the pool and equipment, but little to do with the formation of algae. Phosphates and nitrates are not part of the water balance (saturation index).
I seem to be using a lot of chlorine, more than usual. My readings are always low. What do you think my problem is?
Jack Beane:
The answer to this would vary a lot, depending on the situation. Is it a newly started pool? For pools that have just been started up, there's often a huge chlorine demand.
When you check the water, make sure you're testing for both free and combined chlorine. Chloramines are already present in city water supplies, and need to be factored into the equation; only when you know the free and combined chlorine counts can you make an accurate determination of how much chlorine is necessary to reach breakpoint.
Bob Harper:
Assuming the test methodology is accurate, it could be a few things. First, I would check for low pH. Chlorine is very pH dependent and in low pH it becomes hyperactive. It forms more of the active form (hypochlorus acid — HOCl) and less of the inactive form (hypochlorite ion — OCl) and will expend itself very quickly.
If pH is in the proper range (7.2-7.8), next check cyanuric acid (a.k.a. CYA, stabilizer or conditioner) levels.
The CYA level needs to be above 30 ppm to enjoy any real benefits from the chemistry. CYA's sole purpose is to slow the rate at which UV converts chlorine back to its inert form — a chloride. If the amount is below 30 ppm, chlorine levels will dissipate rapidly in direct sunlight.
Joe Sweazy:
You may have nitrates present or high total dissolved solids. High nitrates can greatly increase the chlorine demand. Likewise, high TDS can lead to increased sanitizer demand.
George Belarski:
This is a more common occurrence than most may believe it to be. Most likely there are high chlorine levels rather than low. Typically, the DPD is being bleached out by the chlorine itself, giving a false low reading or analysis.
Most DPD will bleach out to a degree at about 7 ppm, but there may also be some degree of DPD bleaching at even lower levels, resulting in lower readings for chlorine than the actual concentration, unless a form of DPD that does not bleach out is used.
Another method that can be used to determine the correct level of chlorine concentration when bleaching of the DPD is suspected is to do a sample dilution prior to performing the test, and then multiply the result by the dilution factor.
I have a customer that wants to know about a "greensand" filtration system. It's a type of filtration used on houses to filter manganese or iron out of water. It gets rid of certain funny smells. So the customer wants to know if it's OK to use on her swimming pool. Are there any industry pros that can confirm or deny the use of this stuff? She wants to use what's called the Greensand Plus.
Jack Beane:
You wouldn't want to use greensand as a medium in swimming pool filtration. There are a lot of people who have filled their pools with makeup water that has been run through a greensand filter, but it creates a really tough stain on the finish, especially on fresh plaster. You'll have to drain the pool to remove it.
It's better to deal with existing iron in the source water, or just truck in your own water. Not every water source is compatible with a swimming pool. If possible, test the source water, measure the level of contaminants in it, and make a determination about what regular chemical adjustments will be necessary. And on new pools, test the source water before you first put the hose in.
Is there any way to remove nitrates from pool water?
Jack Beane:
First off, if a pool contains 10 ppm of nitrate nitrogen, which is equal to 44 ppm of nitrates, that's actually a real health issue with pregnant or nursing moms, and with newborns. There's a syndrome called "blue baby," where nitrogen ties up the oxygen in the child's body, leading to circulation problems and other medical issues.
The only solution to a nitrate problem is draining the pool, then refilling it from a fresh water source that's low in nitrates and nitrites.
Joe Sweazy:
Partial drain and refill is the best approach if nitrates are significantly high (approximately 20 ppm or higher).
However, low levels of nitrate nitrogen can be treated with significant shock dosage. Be aware that nitrates do lead to increased chlorine demand and more than normal will be needed to establish breakpoint chlorination when nitrates are present.
Black algae is the toughest algae to remove. Is it specific to one area of the pool and not another? Does it need sunlight? How low can the chlorine level be before it sprouts? What works and why does it work? Are there downsides to any of the treatments, or is it best to just drain the pool and blast?
Jack Beane:
You'll rarely see black algae in a well-maintained pool. The higher your pH is, the less hypochlorous acid (the strongest form of chlorine) will be present. A high cyanuric acid level can also inhibit chlorine's ability to oxidize.
If black algae is a really persistent problem, the best solution is to hire a specialist to get rid of it.
Bob Harper:
While there are numerous treatments based on various chemistries for black algae, the one common thread is the need for vigorous brushing prior to any treatment. Black algae's primary defense mechanism is a dense, gelatinous membrane that shields it from treatments. This membrane must be breached for any treatment to be effective. However, even when killed, black algae may discolor plaster and aggregate finishes, and require a cleaning to restore the finish.
The real key is to expose the "roots" of the algae. This is accomplished by vigorous brushing. A steel wire algae brush is the best tool for the job (obviously though, not on vinyl liners). Black algae will often grow in areas where it can easily "root." Rough or etched surfaces are ideal. While it does need sunlight (all plants do), it prefers areas that are not in direct sunlight. It also favors "dead zones" in the pool where circulation (water movement) is poorer.
Richard DeLeo/Dan Miller:
With a white plaster pool surface, a straight trichlor granular poured directly on the algae spot helps eliminate the problem, along with brushing. Follow the manufacturer's directions carefully.
Other pool surfaces can use a high dose of chlorine shock, and an algaecide especially made for black algae (borate/sodium bromide mix).
Joe Sweazy:
Typically a copper-based algaecide is used, as it has been shown to be most effective on black algae. Of course, using copper can lead to copper staining if too much is present in the water for too long. Therefore, a metal removal agent must be used to remove any remaining copper after the copper algaecide treatment is completed and the algae has been destroyed.
By installing a saltwater system, the calcium on the tile tends to build up much faster than usual. We were told that the answer was to install an acid feeder so as to maintain a constant pH. We have done that on my son's pool as an experiment. The acid feeder has caused low total alkalinity issues and we constantly have to add a lot of bicarb to counter it. The acid feeder was installed in January just after we had the tile cleaned, and calcium is already appearing again on the tile. Any suggestions?
Jack Beane:
When the acid feeder appears to not be doing its job, it's time to recalibrate the pH probe. Probes are great, but they're only as good as their calibration.
Try diluting the acid in the feeder in the reservoir, and using a lower strength in the future. That'll probably give you a better ability to maintain pH without suppressing alkalinity as much. There's no way around it, though: You're still going to suppress some alkalinity.
Also, try adding a product to the pool's water that inhibits calcium carbonate formation. That may be difficult, though; most stain and scale products on the market are excellent in chlorine systems, but not in salt systems, because salt interferes with their normal sequestering activity. So you'll have to choose a product that's proven to work with salt chemistry.
Bob Harper:
In pools on saltwater systems, pH tends to gradually rise. This is because for every one chlorine (an acid) molecule, the electrolytic reaction produces two sodium hydroxide (a base) molecules. As pH rises, the water's ability to solublize calcium lessens, hence the calcium (scale) build-up.
In areas of lower alkalinity source water, a CO2 injection system would be a better solution than a muriatic acid feed system for controlling this pH rise. CO2 forms carbonic acid, a relatively benign acid. Since it introduces carbonate into the water, it also raises total alkalinity (TA) while controlling pH.
Keep in mind TA is comprised of carbonates, bicarbonates and hydroxides. In areas of higher TA source water, muriatic acid is still the best solution. I don't recommend the use of dry acids under any circumstances in saltwater pools due to the contribution of sulfate, which can cause forms of scale that will dramatically shorten the chlorine generator's life.
Jerry Werner:
Other than the mechanical information offered in the question, another possible reason could be a combination of two issues occurring at the same time; that is, as the pool water evaporates, a salt residue may form on the tile, along with efflorescence bleed out from the grout lines.
Calcium in the grout lines that may not be adequately waterproofed is trying to unite chemically with the pool water. This can also be exaggerated by the type of tile that has been used. The more textured the tile, the greater the amount of residue that may cling to the surface.
The winter months have a slower evaporation rate, and moreefflorescence is usually noticed during this time period. Since this is an existing pool structure, it is unknown which waterproofing techniques may have been used to prevent efflorescence. Regrouting the tile to waterproof the new mix may be able to help the situation.
I am having a problem with the fungus that grows under vinyl liners. How can I eliminate it without removing the liner, and what's the proper way of correcting it when we do replace a liner that has this problem?
Jack Beane:
There are currently no EPA-approved methods for directly eliminating fungus under liners.
Vinyl is porous, so the fungus is actually penetrating the liner; this is why shocking removes it temporarily, but never completely kills it off. The only way to eliminate fungus without replacing the liner is to make sure you're using clean soil that's been sterilized with an EPA-approved product or method. Many builders use river sand, which is not clean, and is actually introducing fungus into the soil under the liner.
Bob Harper:
The easiest way is to inject a strong hypochlorite (bleach) solution through the liner into the media (usually sand) behind the liner. After injecting, patch the liner. If replacing the liner, apply a very liberal amount of hypochlorite to the entire affected area. Chlorine effectively kills fungus.
We have been battling sporadic yellow algae in some of our maintenance pools over the years. We have tried polyquats (symptomatic and preventative treatment) and major chlorine shocking (up to 50 ppm, sometimes twice in 2 weeks). We have had it return in a pool with greater than 25 ppm (The chlorine generator was accidentally turned up.) We have cleaned under ladders, treated phosphates, changed circulation patterns, etc. The odd thing is it may be in a pool one year but not the same pools next year.
Jack Beane:
When a pool has recurrent mustard algae, it's generally accompanied by high cyanuric acid and/or high TDS.
Sodium bromide, which is an EPA-approved method for dealing with mustard algae, is very effective; even more than polyquats. It doesn't solve the problem, but does a great job of covering it up.
Bob Harper:
Copper-based algaecides are effective in killing yellow algae. Certain specific chemistries that use 'chloramination' tend to work well, too.
It is also critical to treat everything that has come in contact with the pool by tossing it into the water during the treatment. This includes vac hoses, vac heads, auto cleaners and pool toys. Even poolside furniture such as lounge chairs. And don't forget to wash the swimsuits, too. Yellow algae have the ability to go into a dormant state when dry and return to a normal state once wet again. It's very easy to carry the algae from one pool to the next in cleaning tools.
The common denominator in yellow algae treatments is that you have introduced something into the pool (copper or chloramines) that you typically don't want in the pool because of the side effects (copper-staining/chloramines-irritants). So, after the treatment, it is important to follow steps for effectively removing these substances to return the pool back to normal operation and eliminate the possibility of side effects.
How can we help consumers understand chlorine demand? Typically, a customer will come into a pool store when they have a problem, get their water tested, then wait for the pool to clear. Other than a lengthy demand test, all chemistry tests treat the pool as a normal situation and do not know there is a possible demand in the water. Once the pool does not clear, the consumer is upset. When replying to their questions regarding how this can happen, any blanket answer you give (lawn fertilizer, etc.) causes them to snap that their lawn is not fertilized, making you feel as if you are trying to cover up a misdiagnosis of the problem.
Jack Beane:
One analogy is that of a porous container: Until the holes are plugged up, you're going to have to keep adding water, or it's going to keep draining. Chlorine demand works much the same way: As long as contaminants are getting into the water (which happens constantly), you're going to have to keep satisfying chlorine demand.
Many factors can affect chlorine demand: Nitrates in the water, high combined chlorine and other chemical balance issues can cause chlorine to work much less effectively.
Bob Harper:
Chlorine demand can come from many sources. Usually, it is an abundance of nitrogen (ammonia) compounds in the water. Some common sources are fertilizer (which can be wind-borne — meaning they might not use fertilizers, but the neighbor does), pesticides (also potentially wind-borne), decaying organic matter (i.e. leaves) and even source water (many municipalities use chloramination to treat water supplies; mine does).
Another source, especially in the eastern half of the U.S., is the practice of coal-burning power plants and factories treating smokestack affluent with ammonium hydroxide.
One of the best proof statements is to print/copy articles such as this one (to demonstrate it is a wide-spread problem) and share it with customers.
It should be noted that there are usually two types of chlorine demand: one, where the pool is still clear, and the other, where the pool is extremely cloudy (turbid). In either pool, a chlorine residual can't be maintained.
In the clear type, one possibility is to operate the pool normally when it comes to pump run times, housekeeping, water balance, etc., and keep introducing chlorine daily. I would also recommend a twice weekly shock treatment. And, at some time in the future, a chlorine residual will take hold indicating the demand has been met. The pool potentially can be used during the entire treatment time (except during shock treatments). But keep in mind both APSP and CDC standards do call for a minimum of 1.0 ppm of FAC to be present to prevent RWI's.
With regards to the other type, a partial drain and fresh refill should be considered. Otherwise, 'nuking' the pool with up to 50 ppm of chlorine may be the only short-term solution.
I'm getting a lot of questions from customers about toxicity in chemicals. What should I tell them?

(New Haven, CT) Today, on the 99th anniversary of the Shubert Theater�s opening in New Haven, Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. officially signed ownership of the theater over to the Connecticut Association for the Performing Arts (CAPA), the not-for-profit organization which has operated the theater for the City since 2001.
�The Shubert Theater has been an important cultural attraction in New Haven since it opened its doors in 1914 and continues to draw over one hundred thousand visitors annually and generate a significant economic impact for the city,� said Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. �CAPA has proven itself to be a highly capable theater management company and I am confident that under their ownership the Shubert will continue to flourish and be a cultural leader in our city for the next 100 years.�
Having opened in 1914, the Shubert earned the title of �Birthplace of the Nation�s Greatest Hits� by staging over 600 pre-Broadway tryouts, including over 300 world premieres and 50 American premieres. From its original mission as a Broadway tryout house, the theater has evolved into a not-for-profit, community resource that serves as the heartbeat of the region�s cultural life. In addition to the Broadway offerings and performances of dance, popular music and family entertainment, the Shubert Theater provides comprehensive education and outreach programs, fulfilling its mission to make the best of the performing arts available to the community.
CAPA is a vital partner in the arts community and provides ticketing, marketing, production and other services to many arts and community organizations, including the New Haven Board of Education, the International Festival of Arts and Ideas, Yale University, Market New Haven and the New Haven Ballet.
Each year, CAPA serves thousands of school children, families and senior citizens throughout the New Haven Region by providing in-school programs and community ticketing initiatives. Their management of school performance spaces, like the theaters at Coop High School, provide invaluable theater experience to our young people As part of its expanded programming initiative, the Shubert has hosted a variety of popular concert artists and comedians including Josh Groban, Grammy Award-winning Latin superstar Gilberto Santa Rosa, and John Oliver from Comedy Central�s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Each of these unique performances attracted new, diverse audiences to the theater and restaurants in New Haven�s downtown entertainment neighborhood.
The Shubert Theater currently brings in close to $5 million in ticket revenue annually and, according to a study by Quinnipiac University, generates a $20 million economic impact for the City.
�Since CAPA took over management of the Theater has re-established the Shubert�s importance not only as a cultural icon but as a pivotal economic generation for downtown�, stated Kelly Murphy, Economic Development Administrator
�CAPA has enjoyed a wonderful partnership with Mayor DeStefano, President Perez and the Board of Alders, Kelly Murphy and her team, and all our community partners who have been so supportive of the Shubert Theater,� said Shubert Executive Director, John Fisher. �CAPA has been honored to manage the Shubert and we are delighted the City has chosen us to be the stewards of this legendary theater. We look forward to the Shubert's upcoming Centennial Celebration in 2014.�
Prior to the transfer, CAPA operated the theater on a year-to-year lease but the City was responsible for all of the building�s capital repairs and improvements. In exchange for managing and operating the theater, the City pays CAPA an annual management fee of $250,000. The last major renovation of the Theater occurred in the early 1980s and many of the building�s vital systems are in need of repair, replacement and/or updating, including the exterior fire escape, the exterior brick work and the heating and cooling systems.
The $11 million project leverages $4 million from the State, $2.5 million from the City and the launch of the Shubert�s $4 million Centennial Plan by establishing an endowment for the continued sustainability for the Theater. Over the next ten years The City�s annual contribution will decline and will end permanently in 2024. The agreement alleviates the City�s responsibility to maintain a 100 year old building requiring millions of dollars in renovations. In total, the transfer of ownership to CAPA is anticipated to save the City approximately $5.5 million over the next 10 years.
The Centennial Plan will extend the theater�s economic impact and provide work for over 100 tradesmen in construction, renovation and restoration industries as well add new performance space and create additional permanent jobs for the community. Updates to the theater including back stage, back of house, orchestra shell and an additional performance space will generate 95 to 180 additional lit nights, bringing an added 35,000 to 50,000 patrons Downtown and creating an additional economic impact of over $6 million. The new fa�ade and streetscape will also build on other placemaking and economic investments on College Street, including 100 College Street and Co-Op High School.
Today also marks the 99th anniversary of the Shubert�s opening in 1914, kicking off CAPA�s �Countdown to 100� for the Shubert�s 2014-2015 Centennial Season Celebration.
