Our water is part of Florida Bay, the inland body of water bordered by the Everglades on the North and the Florida Keys to the South. The main channel, marked with red and green markers a few hundreds yards off shore, is the Intracoastal Waterway, which runs from Key West to Maine. We recognize the Intracoastal Waterway for two reasons. It is the main, controlled-depth channel running along the bay side of the Keys and it serves as a boundary for the Everglades National Park.
North and West of the Intracoastal waterway is the vast expanse of the flats and mangrove islands that are intertwined with countless channels that may or may not be marked by the National Park Service. Remember that this is a national park, which means that many species of plant and animal life are being preserved in this park for future generations to enjoy. There is fantastic fishing for species such as Redfish, Tarpon, Snook, Cobia, Trout and Permit to name a few, but you need to review the regulations set by the park service before partaking of this wondrous resource. There also are a myriad of birds available for watching including Eagles, Ospreys, Roseate Spoonbills, Pelicans, and countless others. It is about a 20 mile run across Florida Bay to Flamingo, an outpost of the Everglades National Park with docking facilities and other amenities.

Annapolis, Maryland – My boyfriend and I stayed at Stone Ledge on a trip to the Keys that he gave me as a present for my college graduation. We had a great time! The owners and staff are so friendly and helpful, which is perhaps this place's best asset. Our room was nice – simple, but clean – and had everything we needed. There is a dock on the grounds with two cabanas (half of the dock is pictured on the Tripadvisor page) where the staff and visitors gather in the evening to watch the sunset and chat. You can also observe amazing wildlife from this dock – some people catch great fish, and a manatee even swam up to the dock one night while we were there. The grounds have picnic tables, grills, and a beautiful peace sanctuary built by one of the owners. There are also kayaks, which are fun to just paddle around in the shallow water, or (if you're in the mood for a workout!) they can also be paddled out to a sizable mangrove island not far from the beach. Summary: This is a classic 50's-style Keys motel; it's not a luxury resort and doesn't try to be. Stay here if you want all the fun of the Keys without paying an arm and a leg for your hotel – we all know there are far better diversions on which to spend money in the Keys!
St. Petersburg, Florida – It's a classic '50s Florida Keys motel. Many of the furnishings are vintage. The place has been painted and is well maintained. The grounds are well-kept and include a nice little sanctuary meditation space. The staff was very friendly. There's a dock, a boat ramp, and a set of steps that go down into the water. The water is incredibly clear and there is an abundance of sea life. We saw a very large ray swim by almost as soon as we got there. There were many fishes, and a manatee came to visit. The view to the west is beautiful. This really is a lovely spot.
Anonymous – A fantastic place!!! If you are looking for something fancy this is not your place but if your looking for something very laid back this is the place to be!!! This is a great place with absolutely wonderful people…Barbara, Willie and Clevon are the best!!! They are wonderful friendly people and of course we can't forget Pappy who gives you a bark to say hello. I have stayed here 3 years in a row when I go to the Homestead race and I won't stay anywhere else.
Tampa, Florida – I went with my boyfriend, a friend and his girlfriend who has family that always stay there, and now I know why, because even when this is not a luxury hotel, it is very pleasant to stay there, the staff is great and very friendly and people staying there were pleasant too, they also said they always go there. I will definitely go back and recommend it to others!
Detroit, Michigan – I was pleasantly surprised. The staff and the other guests were very friendly and helpful. It's at a great location away from traffic, but close to all activities we wanted to do. The rooms were simple, clean and provided us with a good night's sleep and everythng we needed. Loved being right on the water as we did lots of swimming, kayaking and caught crabs or fished off the dock most nights. Some people kept their boats (at no charge) at the dock all week and were out everyday enjoying the water. There is a dog and bird on the premises, but the bird was caged and the dog was always on a leash when outside. I would definitely stay here again for the price, location and the great people.]]>

When you think of Key Largo, do you get a warm, nostalgic feeling?Could it be because you have memories of the Bogart and McCall movie of the same name, or the song by Bertie Higgins?
The Caribbean Club may look somewhat familiar because one or two of the exterior scenes for the movie Key Largo were filmed there, although most of it was shot on a Hollywood soundstage. The African Queen, a boat that was one of the stars in the movie of the same name can be found at Holiday Harbor Marina. Sometimes they take the boat on tour and sometimes the engine has problems. But, when it is there and in good working order, you can take a ride on it yourself. Also located at the same marina is the Thayer IV, a boat that appeared in "On Golden Pond". The one out in the yard is actually the movie double. The real Thayer IV is in storage to protect it from the elements.
The Albury House, located at MM 91.7 Oceanside, is now a shop that sells antiques and collectibles. This house was built in 1913 with the idea that, in the event of a hurricane, it would float. And, float it did. During the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, the Albury House knocked the Key Largo train station on its side and, when the waters receded, settled right on top of it.
The Caribbean Shipwreck Museum and Research Institute is dedicated to the pursuit and romance of sunken treasure. Here you can find rare maritime artifacts all taken from the ocean floor. There is a special exhibit of items from the first slave ship wreck discovered in the Florida Straits, the Henrietta Marie.
John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park was America's first underwater state park. Learn about this delicate and diverse ecosystem by visiting the park's Coral Reef Theater. If you don't dive, you can always visit Pennekamp Beach where you will be close to food and shelter. Camping is pretty much like the other state parks in the Keys; both RVs and tents are welcome.
Several good dive sites are found off Key Largo, the most popular being Molasses Reef. Five miles offshore, this approximately seventeen-acre reef is varied in its depth, which makes it great for both divers and snorkelers. This is where the local glass bottomed boats make their appearance. The Statue of Christ of the Abyss, a replica of a statue located off Genoa, Italy, is located six miles east-northeast of Key Largo's South Cut. The Elbow, found closest to the Gulf Stream, is close to the location of the City of Washington wreck. French Reef, just north of Molasses Reef, is noted for its caves filled with small fish. Grecian Rocks is great for snorkelers as the water is fairly shallow. Carysfort Light marked by a 112-foot lighthouse, is not as popular a location as it is furthest from shore. The Duane and Bibb were two Coast Guard Cutters sunk in 1987 to create an artificial reef. The current here is extremely strong, so only expert divers should go there. Key Largo Undersea Park's Emerald Lagoon is very different from the reef in that a diver there will see different marine life than can be found at the reef. A shipwreck and various archeological sites make this the busiest dive site on days when rough seas make it difficult to enjoy the reef.
The Spiegel Grove is a large shipwreck approximately five miles offshore from Key Largo on the Atlantic side of the Keys. This retired Navy ship is one of the largest ships intentionally sunk to create an artificial reef. When the ship was first sunk it rested on its Starboard side and all efforts to right it failed. During the passage of Hurricane Dennis it was righted and sits upright on the bottom. She resides at a depth of 134 ft near Dixie Shoals in Key Largo. The depth at the highest point of the ship is 60-65 ft, depending on the tide level.
Swimming with Dolphins has become one of the most popular activities of visitors to the Keys. In the Key Largo area, there are two facilities that specialize in this pursuit. Dolphin's Plus, Inc, offers an opportunity for participants to get up close and personal with dolphins and sealions. We offer the structured swim which allows participants to have one on one direct contact with the dolphins, whereas the natural swim allows the swimmers to snorkel freely with a group of dolphins. The sealion interactive program offers participants to get up and personal with a California Sealion doing hands on behaviors. Theatre of the Sea not only has dolphin swims but has a program called trainer-for-a-day, which will get you close to the dolphins without your having to get in the water with them. In addition, they have scheduled dive and snorkel trips in pursuit of contact with dolphins in the wild. Other than these two facilities, there are charter captains that take enthusiasts on cruises to do some dolphin watching.
For those who find enjoyment in flora and fauna, there are a few good choices. Harry Harris Park, which was once the settlement town of Planter, has a playground, restrooms, manmade lagoon and picnic facilities. The Everglades National Park, the only one of its kind in the world, is a 1.5-million acre ecosystem that goes west from the bay side of Key Largo. Although the Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center is primarily centered on providing emergency care for injured birds, it also allows visitors to get close to these same birds as well as the vegetation they thrive on. A self-guided tour through Key Largo Hammocks State Botanical Site gets you closer to the natural wonder of the Keys.
Tours above and below the sea abound. You can find airboat rides and safaris into the Everglades, kayaking tours into Florida Bay, sailing charters at sunset and glass bottomed boat tours to the reef. A Casino cruise, which anchors just beyond the legal limits, leaves the Holiday Inn Marina every day. A motor tour leaves Key Largo and goes all the way to Key West while touching down in a few choice areas along the way.
Fishing is good in Key Largo. Deep sea and backcountry guides abound. Both private charter and party boats are available.

Justin Wolfe retrial: Prosecutors defend conduct
MANASSAS, Va. (AP) - Prosecutors are defending their conduct in pursuing new capital murder charges against an alleged northern Virginia drug dealer whose initial death sentence was overturned on accusations of prosecutorial misconduct.
Justin Wolfe was convicted a decade ago of orchestrating a murder for hire of a drug dealer. But federal courts overturned the conviction and death sentence after ruling that prosecutors failed to turn over key evidence and after the alleged hit man recanted his testimony.
Defense lawyers want the retrial tossed out as well. They say prosecutors tried earlier this year to get the hit man, Owen Barber, to change his story again by threatening to put him on death row.
In court papers, prosecutors said the meeting with Barber was legitimate and that they asked Barber to tell the truth.

Send Free Text Message on iPhone with textPlus
textPlus is a free SMS texting application for the iPhone that allows you to text via Wi-Fi, 3G or Edge. With the textPlus app, you can essentially save yourself the $5, or whatever, you are charged by your cellular provider for messaging. Moreover, if you only have an iPod touch, this app gives you a texting capability (via Wi-Fi) that will connect to any of your friends phone.
To start a text message, you simply press the little text box in the top right hand corner. You will be presented with three choices: Contacts, textPlus Address and Phone number. If you choose contacts you get your native Contacts App opening and you can choose the phone numbers of those folks you wish start a text with. Once you have added the number of folks you want from your "Contacts", you then click on the "Compose Message" button. From there, textPlus functions similarly as any texting application you are used too.
If your friends have registered for a textPlus address, you can type that in directly allowing you both to text back and forth for free.
Also, if you just have a phone number of someone but it is not in your contacts, just enter the number directly. Moreover, you can bundle all three of these functions together for a group chat. Say, you could pick 3 folks from your contacts, enter 2 textPlus address and phone number, then when you choose compose message you will be having a group chat with all six of those folks.
It is very fast and the GUI is similar to what you are presented with the native iPhone-messaging app. You can even set-up textPlus communities, which is basically your group lists that you want saved because you use them frequently for texting.
For those of us that do have relatives in Europe, you will no doubt be somewhat dismayed at the high rates for international SMS. But, if your relatives or friends have an iPhone and use this app, you can text them app-to-app absolutely free. This will be a huge savings and for that alone this app gets a very big thumbs-up.
Some of the settings you get with this app are the ability to turn push notification on or off and to actually set-up the notification type to be Push or regular SMS. Not sure why someone would choose regular SMS as you then would need to pay for the text as you regularly do. Also, you can choose the sound you want to hear when you receive a new text.
textPlus is a great app that is extremely easy to use and works very similar to what you are familiar with your native iPhone messaging app. The free version [iTunes link] does come with an advertisement banner but can be removed by going to the textPlus Ad-Free version for US$1.99 [iTunes link].

Vadis Wylds Jr., a longtime employee of The Augusta Chronicle who for years supervised the newspaper's delivery as its circulation director, died Wednesday at Trinity Hospital in Augusta. He was 83.
"Vadis Wylds was one of the finest men I have ever worked with," said William S. Morris III, the chairman of Morris Communications Co. and the publisher of The Chronicle. "He worked for three generations of Morris family members with competence and distinction.
"He was a good leader, a good manager, and admired and respected by all who worked with him. His record of accomplishments was outstanding. All the Morris family will miss him tremendously."
Mr. Wylds, one of the longest-serving employees in The Chronicle's 224-year history began delivering the newspaper at age 12 in the 1930s. After serving in the Navy during World War II, he returned to newspaper work, taking on an increasing number of supervisory responsibilities and eventually becoming circulation director.
"I've never seen a man more devoted and loyal to the job," said Ed Skinner, a longtime Chronicle manager and newspaper executive. "Vadis was as loyal as any employee we've ever had. A good man. You just don't find many like that anymore."
Will Morris, the president of Morris Communications, recalled working with Mr. Wylds in the 1990s at the Athens Banner-Herald, another Morris newspaper.
"I think Vadis was an incredibly dedicated and loyal associate who had the opportunity to work with three generations," he said. "I will greatly miss him dropping by the office."
Mr. Wylds was a member of Damascus Baptist Church. He was a member of the John S. Davidson Lodge No. 677 F & A M, a member of the Augusta Shrine Club, and he was the oldest living active member of the Shrine Club go-cart unit. Mr. Wylds was also a member of the American Legion Post 63 for 62 years.
He was married to the late Inez Wylds, who served as an Augusta city councilwoman.
After retiring in 1992, Mr. Wylds continued to work as a part-time relief manager and single-copy assistant.
"Vadis never really stopped being a very important part of this department and newspaper," said Jeff Hartley, The Chronicle's director of circulation. "His work ethic was an inspiration to all of us and his knowledge of the newspaper business continued to be an asset."
A graveside service will be held at 10 a.m. Friday in Hillcrest Memorial Park, with the Rev. Joe Hester officiating. Pallbearers will be Augusta Shrine Club members.
The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. today at Thomas Poteet & Son Funeral Directors, 214 Davis Road, Augusta.

273 June 29, 1983 FOR HAZARDOUS WASTE POLICY WASHINGTON IS THE REAL HAZARD INTRODUCTION The safe disposal of hazardous waste is now America's most critical environmental problem million t ons of hazardous waste each year to add to the several billion tons produced by earlier industrial growth. Industry and government currently spend close to 5 billion annually on the problem and according to government estimates, this could soar to $12 bil l ion (in constant 1981 dollars) by 1990 Americans generate over 250 Two issues must be confronted. First, priority hazardous waste dump sites, as recognized by EPA, threaten groundwater contamination and carcinogenic exposure, and must be cleaned up quickl y . Second, the U.S. must ensure that new waste is processed in a manner that minimizes environmental degradation. I Two principal federal laws deal with hazardous waste: the 1976 Resources Conservation.and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the 1980 Comprehensive Eme rgency Response, Compensation and Liability Act CERCLA known as Superfund.
Enacted as an amendment to the Solid Waste Disposal Act RCRA provides a regulatory framework for the disposal of'all solid and hazardous wastes. The law was designed to regulate all processing of hazardous waste. The House Energy and Commerce Committee recently approved a bill (H.R. 2867) to widen EPA regulation, by including small-quantity generaars. The measure would also prohibit landfiW dumping of liquid and dangerous toxic wast es, and outlaw underground injection of hazardous wastes near ground water supplies. The Senate began hearings on its reauthorization bill S. 757) on June 9th.
Superfund expires in September 19
85. The $1.6 billion program provides for the cleanup of haza rdous spills from old 2 dumpsites when no responsible party can be found. Superfund also imposes retroactive liability on any company found to be respon sible for a hazardous waste site It is in the interest of all Americans to resolve the hazard ous wast e situation as soon as possible. b Liberals generally favor a national environmental policy undertaken by strong centralized government agencies. The existing environmental legislation broadly reflects this view. Implicit in this philosophy, however, is th e assumption that the American people and their local representatives cannot be trusted to determine the appropriate level of environmental protection for their communities, given the tradeoff that exists between jobs and environmental quality.
Conservativ es, on the other hand, urge the decentralization of regulatory power, wherever possible, to state and local govern ments so that the responsibility for action lies with those closest to the scene, not with faraway bureaucrats In pressing for decentralizat ion, conservatives maintain that it will also mean the increased use of environmentally safe and cost-effective private sector solutions to environmental problems.
Congress should reform the law in a way that encourages local disposal and clean-up efforts using the most efficient means available. It should resist demands for tighter federal control.
Current Environmental Protection Agency regulations, for instance, exempt roughly 700,000 so-called small-quantity gener ators, such as gasoline stations. Congress should ignore at tempts to bring these under RCRA and leave regulation to state and local governments.
On the other hand, Congress should immediately ban the landfilling of all hazardous waste, since the evidence indicates that the practice is unsafe. Congress also needs to find a quick resolution to the Iftoxic tort" liability question. Businesses consumers, and potential third-party litigants need to know th eir rights and liabilities regarding toxic contamination.
Intrastate hazardous waste oversight responsibilities should be returned to the states, where they belong. Once the responsi bility for hazardous waste has been shifted to state officials these same officials can no longer blame Washington if dumpsites are operated negligently or ignored by local officials THE ISSUES Small-Quantity Generators One of the most controversial portions of this year's re authorization bill is a proposed amendment, authori z ing EPA 3 regulation of 'facilities that generate only hazardous wastes, such as gas stations, dry small quantities of cleaners and school science labs. Currently, these are not subject to EPA regula tions. About 90 percent of all hazardous waste generato rs fall into this category, producing approximately 5 percent of all toxic waste.l Under current law, small generators can dump waste at landfills or municipal dumps without monitoring.
The question is which level of government should regulate such generat ors. State and local governments should take the lead percent free of hazardous waste as possible then it should be the responsibility of state and local officials to make and enforce whatever laws are needed If a community decides that it should be as cl o se to 100 Proponents of direct federal regulation of small generators claim that EPA can ensure the health and safety of the waste service industry. Advocates also argue that since state and local governments often refuse to accept responsibility for com munity environmental health, including small quantity generators under RCRA is a necessary step.
Opponents counter that additional controls would not result in any appreciable health benefits, while they would prove costly to small firms already overburdened with regulation. Non-com pliance and a marked increase in "midnight dumping would result.
Non-compliance is also possible of course, under state and local regulation, but the closer the regulators are to the regulated the more comprehensive and appropriate will be the oversight.
Secondly, claim opponents, inclusion under RCRA of hundreds of thousands of scattered small quantity generators means that EPA would be swamped with paperwork, and totally unable to comply with its statutory assignment.
A comp romise is possible, however. Congress should declare that if a state or locality decides that a generator is dangerous enough to warrant oversight it is up to that government, and ultimately its electors, to determine what action should be undertaken, and what costs should be imposed on local firms and taxpayers, to achieve a desired environmental standard. .There is no reason why the federal government should be raiding a com munity's local service station to see if waste oil has been dumped in the backya rd.
Landfills A second controversial issue involved in the pending reauthor ization concerns landfills. Incidents of'groundwater contamination Technologies and Management Strategies for Hazardous Waste Control. A report by the Office of Technology Assessme nt, U.S. Congress, March 1983 p. 5 4 due to leaking hazardous waste landfills have been increasing at an alarming rate.
Scientific evidence supports EPA's current view that land fills can be unsafe repositories for liquid and solid hazardous wastes.2 prog ram, for instance, conducted a study in 1982 on four New Jersey landfills that employed "state of the art1' techniques to prevent leakage. Based on the study, the program administrator declared that 'Ithe conclusion is inescapable that all landfills with t oday's technology] will ultimately leak and fail The Princeton University hazardous waste research There are alternatives to landfill. Private sector hazardous waste management techniques have progressed at a remarkable rate in recent years. They could so o n replace government-funded cleanup projects and landfills. Not only do alternatives exist, but they are applicable to almost every form of hazardous waste. The sooner EPA bans the use of landfills for hazardous waste, the sooner the risk of groundwater c ontamination and carcinogenic exposure will be reduced.
Toxic Torts Liability The Superfund Legislation (CERCLA) makes no explicit provision for the recovery of damages in'a case of toxic waste exposure.
This omission, combined with wide variations in state tort and workmen's compensation laws, has left consumers, industry, govern ment and third-party litigants ignorant of their rights and responsibilities.
Bills designed to rationalize the 32 existing state tort laws with a coherent federal law have been proposed by Senators Robert Kasten (R.-Wisc George Mitchell (D.-Me.) and Robert Stafford R.-Vt and by Representative John LaFalce (D.-NY The Reagan this ar e a Administration has also come down in favor of a federal law in By taking the proper action in this issue, Congress can reduce the chances of further legal nightmares like those at Times Beach and Love Canal with a means of redress which is equitable to b oth the consumer and industry forthcoming Heritage Foundation study In addition, it can provide victims This complex issue will be discussed further in a PRIVATIZATION The best hope for cleaning up Americals waste problem is to encourage private sector so l utions to previously government-funded clean up projects, since these offer the best hope for effective 2 EPA Still Doesn't Know the Dimensions of Nation's Hazardous Waste Problems The National Journal, April 16, 1983, p. 796 5 and economical hazardou,s.w a ste disposal. Companies and jurisdic tions across the country are discovering innovative methods of treating hazardous wastes. The technologies now available include Bugs: Sybron Biochemical, of Salem, 'Virginia, has developed a mutant strain of bacterial bugs which eat some of the most dangerous organic chemicals, breaking them down into their harm less component the bacteria fall victim to competition with natural bacteria and die. According to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, oth e r strains have been isolated that can turn even PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) into carbon and energy source Once the toxic food source,has disappeared Toxiflex: The Woxiflexll method, developed by Columbia University, facilitates the conversion of toxi c heavy metal slag into high-value building material Coal and municipal wastes can be combined into a fuel for boilers. The toxiflex method adds toxic heavy metals, such as chromium, cadmium and lead to this process, trapping the metals in the residual sla g, which can be used safely in road building or construction.
Radiation: Invented by the Envirokinetics Corporation of New Rochelle, New York, this process uses gamma radiation from nuclear waste to break down other hazardous waste.6 has two very important benefits: it is a proven method of toxic waste treatment, and it provides a useful and safe repository for nuclear plant by-products.
Biological Incineration A new land farming technology known as biological incineration, has led to new strains of micro organisms that thrive under adverse conditions. Researchers at Cornel1 University, have proposed using large doses of one newly isolated bacterium, that thrives on a diet of pentachlorophenal PCP), as a treatment for this highly toxic wood treatment chemi c al The process Spouted-Bed Incineration: Batelle Columbus (Ohio) Laborato ries recently developed an incineration process for burning wastes with low heat contents.8 Wastes that could be treated in this way include chemical waste liquids, used oils, carbo n black gas, and pulping process clarifier sludge.
Mobile Incineration: The Oil and Hazardous Materials Unit of EPA has developed a prototype high temperature mobile incinerator 3 Va. Finn's Mutant Bugs could be an Answer to Toxic Wastes," The Washington P ost Business Monday, November 29, 1982, p. 44 Science Magazine, Vol. 220, No. 4601 June 3, 1983) p. 1 Finding New Antidotes for Hazardous Wastes," High Technology, November December 1982 p. 33 Ibid p. 34 5 Ibid.
Ibid p. 33 6 with a capacity of 100 gallons of liquid waste per hour. The incinerator, built by the I.T. Corporation of Los Angeles, is cheap, efficient, and very portable. It answers the needs of many communities that need to clean up toxic waste dump sites yet do not want to build a permanent wa s te treatment plant.g Some companies have already begun producing several of the unit's other inventions, including a mobile chemical treatment plant, a mobile decontamination 'facility, and a backpack foam spraying system to deal with oil and chemical spi lls.
Incineration at Sea: Waste Mangement Inc. of Des Plaines Iowa, incinerates hazardous waste at sea.1 Since seawater readily absorbs the hydrogen chloride produced in the incineration process EPA does not require stack gas scrubbers. In 1982, the compan y's ship attained a 99 percent effective destruction rate of 3.9 million gallons of PCBs. While ocean incineration is an attractive alternative to landfills, however, the technology is still expensive.
Matching and Re-use: Another method of disposing of h azardous waste is to recover those by-products which can be reprocessed and reused. Steel plants, for example, generate large quantities of acids, and these acids can be used to neutralize the alkaline effluent from a nearby chemical plant A similar proce ss involves blending limestone with acidic chemical factory wastes. Monsanto's adipic acid plant in Pensacola, Florida, places such a mixture in exhaust stacks, where it removes up to 95 percent of the sulphur from the stack gases.
LESSONS FROM ABROAD Amer ica can learn a tremendous amount about safe and effec tive hazardous waste disposal from England, France, Holland, West Germany and Japan The British have developed a method of mixing cement with liquid wastes. 'This permanently encases toxic waste chemi c als in solid concrete blocks that can be used safely as a sub-base for highways The French have a complicated system of economic incentives and disincentives to encourage French industry to take wastes to.in cineration centers, rather than dumping them on company property or in landfills. Some of these incineration facilities have be come so proficient at recovering waste metals that they are now selling the metals back to the same cmpanies which brought in the waste. lo l1 Samuel G. Freedman, "Finding New Ways to Destroy Toxic Wastes," New York Times, January 10, 1983, p. 81.
High Technolo November/December 1982, p 33.
James A. Stegenga, "Toxic Waste Disposal The European Way," Christian Science Monitor, May 24, 1982, p. 23. 7 Dutch and German engineers have perfected "at-sea" incinerators that can burn certain wastes with minimal effects on the seawater.
This process is similar to the method used by America's Waste Management Inc In Japan, companies that violate toxic waste laws not only pay stiff fines and clean-up costs, but also must pay medical bills and the moving expenses of affected,people who wish to relocate NEW FEDERALISM AND HAZARDOUS WASTES The discretion and responsibility for intrastate waste management should be returned to state and local governments.
For this, federal law must be interpreted uniformly by the EPA's Regional.Officers and the states must be able to fulfill fully their oversight responsibilities The effectiveness of the RCRA decentralization process under current federal law, depends on whether a given state has reached Phase I or Phase I1 authorization. Phase I authorization or interim authorization) establishes the administrative frame work within which a state can implement RCRA. Phase I1 authoriza tion (or final authoriza t ion) is granted to a state if its program is compatible with and equivalent to the federal program, and if the state has demonstrated adequate enforcement capability. Regu lations under Phase I1 include financial responsibility require ments, technical st andards for treatment and storage.and disposal facilties, emergency plans, and inspection and monitoring standards.
Progress so far has been mixed. By April 1983, thirty-six Just ten states, however states had their administrative Phase I frameworks in pla ce while eight were in the draft stage had met the full Phase I1 requirements; another sixteen states have draft plans. Nine states have not even filed a draft Phase I plan.12 Only Wyoming has elected not to have its own state program.
States and regions face very different problems. Industrial and municipal hazardous waste generators and their toxic by-products are not the same in Maine and Montana. Air, soil, and water con ditions also vary considerably from state to state.
The decent ralization pace must be accelerated. The faster states create their own hazardous waste oversight procedures and become capable of enforcing their own rules, the faster intrastate hazardous waste generators can be cataloged. Once this process is complete, each state can plan how to best guarantee the safety of its citizens. The federal role should be to set tough federal guidelines from which the states can set their own limits and policies l2 Idaho, Alaska, Hawaii, Colorado, South Dakota, Minnesota, Michi g an, West Virginia and the Virgin Islands. 8 CONCLUSION Congress must remember, as it revises the nation's hazardous waste policy, that the goal should be to clean up waste, not to create a hazardous waste bureaucracy. Moreover while Congress should protec t the environment, legislators should not penalize industry to the degree that non-compliance becomes the rule rather than the exception, due to unreasonably complicated laws.
The federal government should not include small quantity generators under RCRA. It should encourage state and local governments to assume whatever oversight function they deem neces'sary, possibly including the promulgation of regulations which control such small quantity generators.
Landfill utilization should immediately be made il legal as a means of hazardous waste disposal between landfills and groundwater, air and soil contamination A direct relationship exists The present toxic tort recovery system is extremely confusing An individual bringing a plenary lawsuit may have to over come sub stantial legal and.equitable problems, depending on the forum state's law. Congress must provide for an equitable solution to a potentially staggering medical and legal problem.
Congress should also encourage the private sector, which is developing innovative solutions to the hazardous waste problem.
These efficient and safe methods must replace dangerous and hap hazard practices such as landfilling A federal-state dialogue, on the basis of President Reagan's New Federalism proposals is essential to meeting the objectives of RCRA and Superfund. The federal government should reduce its role in hazardous waste management according to the progress of states in assuming responsibility for intrastate management.
Most interstate hazardous waste problems should continue to be under the purview of the federal government, unless a consortium of affected states agrees to take action. International hazardous waste situations should remain the exclusive responsibility of the federal government to emphasize th e decentralization of hazardous waste management authority and the need for private sector alternatives. Instead of trying to show their concern by outbidding their colleagues in voting more funds for EPA, as though that was some test of their commitment t o a clean environment, legislators should recognize at last that Washington, unlike Father, does not necessarily know best Congress, in its review of RCRA and Superfund, should continue Paul T.

Boehner says he and Cole are staying put
Despite recent election setbacks, House Minority Leader John A. Boehner says his leadership position is secure and he's not pushing NRCC chairman Tom Cole out the door either.
Speaking on ABC's "This Week," Boehner (R-Ohio) admitted that it has been a tough week for Republicans and that there's been plenty of grumbling within the Republican conference after the party lost a previously secure House seat in Mississippi.
But Boehner made it clear there will be no leadership changes any time soon.
"I'm staying," Boehner told ABC host George Stephanopoulos. "My job is to help bring our members together."
Boehner said he talked late last week with Cole (R-Okla.), whose job security as chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee is now in question after losing three special elections in strongly conservative districts.
"Tom and I had a very good meeting on Friday – frank and constructive and positive," Boehner said. "He's staying."

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a hands-free telephone which is mounted in a motor vehicle, preferably in a readily handy position for easy positioning to the mouth of the user. The invention will eliminate reverberations and other noises common to motor vehicles.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The present invention is for a telephone microphone to be positioned close to the mouth of the user. The microphone is built into a flexibly elongated extension arm and the user can, by hand, position the microphone which will then maintain the position indefinitely. The invention can be safely and securely retained when not in use.
There is prior art for hands-free microphones, whether it be their use in vehicles or in other applications. It is also well known to use a flexible conduit, one that can be manually fixed into a desired shape and having a microphone built into the distal end. One such arrangement is found in courtrooms, more specifically, in the witness stand. Another application area can be found with hands-free microphones used with computers. Yet, none of the prior art teaches the use of a hands-free telephone microphone which is designed to be used close to the mouth in a motor vehicle and then safely stored away when not in use.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,668,869 issued to Zinno on Sep. 16, 1997, teaches the use of a mobile telephone hands-free holder that provides the user a hands-free environment, whereby the handset is clipped to the shoulder strap of a seat belt. The holder is slidably mounted and can be adjusted to fit the physical size of the user. The present invention does not require the use of a seat belt and has far less moving parts.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,490,213 issued to Huang on Feb. 6, 1996, discloses an apparatus for a hands-free mobile telephone unit in an automobile. This patent by Huang does not however teach a means for providing a microphone that is to be used close to the mouth of the user, in order to eliminate vehicle noises, echoes and reverberations that are inherent in all automobiles.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,842,174 issued to Sheppard et al. on Jun. 27, 1989, teaches a mounting apparatus that utilizes a flexible, tubular support arm for holding the hand set. Although the use of a flexible tube is taught by Sheppard et al., this invention does not teach the use of a hands-free microphone. Also the safety element, which is the most important consideration of the present invention, is not addressed. The invention of Sheppard still requires the operator to drive the vehicle with one hand while using the telephone.
None of the above inventions and patents, take either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed.
The present invention provides a telephone with a hands-free microphone, which is attached to the interior of a vehicle, and is in a close relationship to the mouth of the user. This offers major advantages in audio clarity and safety, as will as inherent construction efficiencies. The hands-free telephone microphone is built into the distal end of a flexible, yet rigid, elongated extension piece. The proximal end of the elongated extension is pivotally connected to a base housing, which is fastened to the interior of the vehicle immediately above the drivers door opening. The extension piece has a coaxial cable extending longitudinally within it. Strands of copper wrap the coaxial cable and give the extension its flexibility, yet still providing the rigidness necessary to maintain the extension shape for an indefinite time. Means for securing the device over the door on the drivers side of the vehicle, when the device is not in use, is also provided. When needed by the user, the microphone can be instantly positioned close to the mouth which will eliminate any of the interior noises and reverberations.
Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide an enhanced hands-free operation of a mobile telephone, whereby there exists virtually no audible difference between the hands-free operation of the present invention and that which one would get using a private (handset) mode.
It is another object of the invention to provide a hands-free microphone that will eliminate the echo and reverberation effects, by locating the microphone as close as possible to the mouth of the user.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a hands-free microphone that will be a safer and more convenient way to speak while driving, and without sacrificing sound quality.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a means for allowing the microphone to be flexibly positioned by hand yet still having the rigidity necessary to maintain the position indefinitely.
It is an object of the invention to provide a means for securing the device safely from the driver, yet still being conveniently accessible when needed.
These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
FIG. 1 is an environmental view of the device in use.
FIG. 2 is an environmental of the device as mounted in a vehicle.
FIG. 3 is an environmental view of the device in the stored position.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the retainer clip taken alongline 4--4 of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a sectional view of the extension arm.
The present invention is a hands-free microphone for a cellular (mobile) telephone device 10 for use in a motor vehicle as generally shown in FIGS. 1-3. One of the biggest concerns of using cellular phones in vehicles is the lack of safety which exists when a driver holds the phone handset with one hand, while proceeding to drive the vehicle with only the other hand. Another concern is the lack of clarity caused by reverberation and echo effects which are inherent when any of the prior art hands-free microphones are used in motor vehicles. FIGS. 1 and 2 show the invention in use, with the device 10 comprising an elongated, flexible extension arm 11 which has two opposing ends, a proximal end portion 12 which is pivotally connected to a base housing 19 and a distal end portion 13 which has an integrally attached microphone 14. The proximal end 12 can be connected to the base housing by several conventional ways. One manner of connection, which is utilized by the preferred embodiment is a conventional ball-socket attachment wherein the proximal end portion 12 is spherical in shape and fits within a socket formed within the base housing 19. Another method would have the proximal end 12 pivotally sliding in a groove which would extend vertically within the base housing 19. Other known methods, as long as they allowed the extension arm 11 to pivot, would be equally as effective. The extension 11 is allowed to pivot into and out of position to create better flexibility and longer life. FIG. 5 shows the extension arm 11, further comprising a longitudinally extending inner core of coaxial cable 16 which is wrapped with strands of copper wire 17 and then coated with an elasticized material 18, all of which provide the extension arm 11 with both flexibility as well as rigidness. The degree of flex and the resistance to flex of the extension arm 11 is determined by a combination of the gauge of the coaxial cable 16, the spacing between the strands of copper wire 17, the composition and density of the elastomeric material 18 used to cover the arm 11 and in part to the overall thickness of the extension. The coaxial cable 16 carries the electrical signal from the microphone 14 to the base 19 where it is relayed to a mobile phone hands-free microphone input by an electrical wire 15. The extension arm 11 can be easily flexed by hand to any shape or angle, yet it is rigid enough to maintain that shape indefinitely. The thickness of the extension arm 11 should be relatively thin so as not to be an interfering obstacle to the driver's vision or his maneuverability. In the preferred embodiment the dimension of the extension will be approximately 0.25-0.50 inches.
The elastomeric material encapsulating the extension arm 11 can be made from a multitude of materials, such as rubber or a metal conduit or even a telescoping metal shaft having a ball and socket at each end.
The base housing 19 has a generally rectangular or square shape and is anchored to the interior panel 24 near the top edge of the driver's door 25. The base 19 is fastened to the interior panel 24, with either clips or a plurality of screws. Either fastening method will work equally well. The base portion 19 is made of plastic as in the preferred embodiment but metal or a composite material could also be used.
In operation the user merely has to flex the extension arm 11 into the most convenient and comfortable working position, with height and body size being important considerations. By placing the microphone 14 close to the mouth, the noises inherent to the vehicle are virtually eliminated. These noises consist of echoes and reverberations which are very noticeable to any person on the listening end of a call from a hands-free handset. The present invention affords the receiving party the same clarity as if the call were actually being made using a private handset.
When the driver is not using the device 10 it can be retained in the interior panel 24, above the door opening 25 as shown in FIG. 3, by means of a retainer clip 20. FIG. 5 shows the retainer clip 20 having a vertically extending and generally straight portion 21 and a resilient semi-circular curved holding arm 22, which is parallel to the door opening 25, and defines a groove 23 therein. This groove will accept the extension arm 11 when the device 10 is in the stored position. The extension arm can be biased into the groove by pushing the extension arm through the opening causing the resilient to deflect. This allows the device 10 to be safety stored out of the way, yet handy when needed. The straight portion 21 can be attached by any conventional known means such as adhesives or a plurality of screws. The preferred embodiment utilizes a double-backed adhesive strip. The device 10 will decrease static, echo and reverberation but will increase safety, as the user will now have both hands available for operating the vehicle.
It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the sole embodiment described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.

Hot Indian Bollywood Actresses Biographysource(google.com.pk)
With the acting benchmark set so high by some of the leading ladies of Bollywood movies of the black and white era. The road to stardom for the successive generation of female actors in Bollywood has not been easy but still many have manged to make a mark for themselves in an industry which is still dominated by male-centric movies.
Katrina Kaif etc
Aishwarya Rai – 1st November 1973
The best numbers among all the Indian actresses. In my article about Number 7 I had written about the presence of Number 7 to reach the pinnacle of success. For an actress to do well in her career a good psychic number is very important. Number 1 is excellent as a psychic number. Psychic 1 with destiny 5 is does wonders for career in field of art. Name number 25 is one of the best name numbers I have come across, but again, none of the other numbers should be 7. Name number 25 is shared by Bill Gates and L N Mittal as well.
Amisha patel – 9th June 1976
Destiny and psychic 2 and 9 or vice-versa will bring controversies in life. No wonder Amisha's life has been full of controversies. She lacks a 1, 6 or 7 in her numbers. Name number 36 is not the best with psychic 9. Two 9′s means a lot of energy but these energies are wasted in the wrong direction without a strong number. In her case, the 3rd number is 2 which is not strong enough to take care of both the 9′s.
Amrita Arora – 31st January 1981
Any girl having psychic 4 with a destiny 6 has a reason to worry. These numbers bring serious problems in relationships. Amrita's name number is 26 which is again not good with a psychic 4. No wonder she has never been able to do well in Bollywood. Her career will continue to remain dark untill at least she changes her name number. However, she is married now to a rich guy so she doesn't have to worry much about the finances. But she might have to worry about her relationship in the future.
Amrita Rao – 17th June 1981
Excellent name number, 23, which is the best number possible for a psychic 8. This will help her rise in her career, but if numbers are not matched well it will be difficult for her to have a smooth personal life. Destiny 6 is bad for personal life of a female which can only be rectified if the horoscopes are matched or the name number is strong. Also destiny 6 makes girls enter into unwanted sexual relationships.
Ayesha Takia – 10th April 1986
Good numbers, this girl is there to stay in Bollywood for a while. A psychic 1 with a destiny 2 does not make the best combination but aided with a name number 25, this combination can do wonders. "WANTED" will Salman Khan has made her more wanted. 28th year onwards there will be a change in her career and it might go to the next level.
Bipasha Basu – 7th January 1979
Name number 33, my favourite and the best possbile in numerology. No wonder, iZodiaque is also 33 ;-) . However, psychic and destiny both as 7 makes a girl very controversial within herself. It is very difficult for anyone to understand her, no wonder John is still wondering whether to marry her or not. Her numbers are excellent for her career and 33rd-34th year of your life should be happening and good for her career.
Bhumika Chawla – 21st August 1978
Excellent psychic and destiny but with a really weak name number. Name number 40 does not do well with all psychic numbers. Also this number will not let have a girl smooth career. If she starts writing Bhumikka Chawla, things might get better as her new name number would be 42, same as SRK.
Celina Jaitley – 9th June 1981
Hardworking girl, but weak name number. Again a 7 destiny with a 7 name number creates problems. She should change her name number to 33 or 37. Having a destiny 7 can help her move up in the ladder. She is 29 now so a long way to go.
Deepika Padukone – 5th January 1986
This young lady is there to stay in Bollywood. She lacks a 7 so she will not be able to get what Aishwarya or Madhuri has achieved. Relationships will always be a problem with her, as a psychic 5 with a destiny 3 makes her highly egoistic and moody which is enchanced by a name number 64. She will be too clever and cunning in relationships and it will be difficult to handle her. Junior Mallya is doing a good job these days.
Diya Mirza – 9th December 1981
Two 4′s (22 and 4) can give someone fame overnight but that person will always keep on struggling to retain that position. She needs a name number of 1 or 6 to do well. Psychic 9 with a destiny 4 is not the best with the name number 22.
Esha Deol – 2nd November 1982
Money she will have plenty because of the name number 33, career and relationships will always be demanding. She is a highly confused, moody and a sensitive girl. She must be like a Mumma's girl. 2 and 6, both are even numbers and these are not the best for a girl. A girl needs more of odd numbers to rise high in the career. A perfect example is Aishwarya Rai, did you ever notice that all the number is her date of birth are odd, 1-11-1973, also her psychic, destiny and name number, all of them are odd.
Gracy Singh – 20th July 1980
Again, same problem as Amisha Patel. Two 9′s giving a lot of energy going nowhere. A psychic 2 is not the best for a girl as discussed with Esha's numbers. A name number of 33 can make her career move faster.
Hema Malini – 16th October 1948
One of the most successful actresses, also she has a number 7 as her psychic number. Destiny 3 brings problems in relationships as discussed earlier and no wonder she lives separate from her husband. Name number 30 is excellent and it is the same as Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan.
Juhi Chawla – 13th November, 1967
Psychic 4 and destiny 2 is not a great combination but makes the person a bit lucky. Name number 32 is one of the best name numbers possible and helps psychic 4 grow. No wonder she has been with Bollywood for quiet a while and has some strong associations, yes am talking about SRK.
Kajol – 5th August 1975
Psychic 5 and destiny 8 brings instability in the career. But with a name number of 14 life does not remain very difficult. Also this is her 35th year which is the year of her destiny number (3+5=8). This makes her year important and no wonder we got the news recently that she and Ajay had a baby boy.
Kareena Kapoor – 21st September 1980
Three 3′s are good together indeed. Jupiter is the planet of prosperity and it brings stability in a person's life. Kareena would be better with a name number 51. She will have a stable career but her personal life will have ups and downs.
Karishma Kapoor – 25th June 1974
A really good combination for career. No wonder she was doing really well in her career till she got married. Now Karishma has been changed to Karisma by a numerologist. This will make her life better in terms of personal life but career will not remain the same.
Katrina Kaif – 16th July 1984
The current queen of Bollywood, her numbers are good with a presence of 7 which has taken her at the top. Her name number is 28 which is not great and same as Akshay Kumar's. She will be one of the top actresses for sometime but number 28 will keep on bringing ups and downs in her career.
Mallika Sherawat – 24th October 1981
Girls born on 24th are very sensuous, no wonder Mallika has been known for that in Bollywood. Her destiny number is 8 which will not let her have a clean reputation in Bollywood. Her name number 42 will always keep her in the limelight and she will have a good career in future,
Priyanka Chopra – 18th July 1982
Again 9′s and 2 meet. A psychic and destiny 9 person can be highly irritating at times because too many 9′s makes the person very restless. Priyanka should be one of the most hard working actresses in the industry but at the same time these numbers are not great for her personal life. A name number 6 can make things better.
Raveena Tandon – 26th October 1974
Psychic – 8
Destiny – 3
Name – 51
Date of birth 26 with a destiny number 3 leads to a divorce in most of the cases. We haven't heard any bad news about Raveena yet but something can be expected in the coming years. She has to watch out her 40th and 44th year as those years can be demanding for her personal life.
Sonam Kapoor – 9th June 1985
Sonam will have a controversial personal life because of a 2 and a 9 as her destiny and psychic numbers. Absence of 4 and 8 will give her a good life and a decent career. But she is not the 1 who can become the queen of Bollywood. Recently she changed her name to Sonam A Kapoor (48) which will not help her much. Numerologists, she needs a number 6 or 7. Even 1 would be better than 3.
Sushmita Sen – 19th November 1975
She has the perfect numbers apart from the name number. Psychic 1 and destiny 7 can do wonders but with name number 40 personal life remains demanding. Also her career could have been much better with a name number 41 or 42.
Sonakshi Sinha – 2nd June 1987
I would say, very weak numbers to become an actress. She calls herself a Tom Boy, but the reality is that she is a very soft, sentimental and a confused girl. Her name number is excellent due to which she was lucky in getting good results for her first movie. If she continues doing sensuous roles, she can do well, however tom boy roles are just not for her. I wonder if she will stay in Bollywood for long.

Unemployment applications spike as U.S. has first decline in monthly job creation in almost five years, as economy sputters.
In two separate reports, the Labor Department first announced that the number of people applying for unemployment benefits increased by 69,000 to 375,000 — the highest level since October 2005.
In a second report, released this morning, the Labor Department announced that employers cut 17,000 jobs in January — the first monthly decline since August 2003. It was supposedly more shocking because some analysts had expected an increase of as much of 80,000 new jobs — but given all the news of layoffs and a weak economy, it's amazing that anyone could have been predicting such high job growth.
Hardest hit industries were again both manufacturing and construction. Manufacturers cut 28,000 jobs in January — the 19th straight month of cuts — while the number of construction jobs dropped by 27,000 — bringing to a total of 284,000 lost jobs since employment peaked in September 2006.
Worried about your job security? You may not need to be, but you should not be ignoring the situation either. Read our latest article on the subject: Seven Strategies to Recession-Proof Your Career: Build Your Future Regardless of Health of the Economy.

Virginia forestry officials report widespread damage to oaks and other trees from this year's arrival of cicadas.
The damage is the result of cicada females laying eggs in the thin-barked outer branches of trees and shrubs, the Virginia Department of Forestry said. The females slice into the branch, then deposit up to 80 eggs.
A single female can create about 30 nests, laying as many as 600 eggs, forest health specialist Chris Asaro said.
The egg-laying can cause structural damage known as "flagging." It is visible across much of the state's Piedmont and coastal plain.
Forestry officials said most medium-to-large trees will not suffer any serious long-term damage.
The department said the good news is an outbreak of this brood of cicada won't occur for 17 years.

RODEO — The tiny John Swett school district has chosen a longtime teacher, football coach and administrator from the much larger San Ramon Valley school district as its new superintendent.
Trustees appointed San Ramon Valley secondary education director Rob Stockberger to the district's top job at their Wednesday evening meeting.
Stockberger, 57, is replacing Mike McLaughlin, who resigned in June to take over as superintendent in San Leandro.
Stockberger has spent his entire career in the San Ramon Valley district, beginning in 1978 as a coach at Monte Vista High School in Danville and California High School in San Ramon.
He was promoted to head football coach at Monte Vista in 1981. He turned the program into a Bay Area powerhouse that won four North Coast Section championships.
Stockberger left teaching in 1990 to become an assistant principal at San Ramon Valley High School in Danville, then took over as principal of California High in 1995.
He became the district's secondary education director in 1999, where he said he became involved in curriculum development, personnel and budgeting, and showed further versatility with his involvement in the design and development of Dougherty Valley High School in San Ramon.
"I've attempted to position myself for a (superintendent's job) for professional development," Stockberger said.
"We were very impressed with his professional experience, including his background in curriculum," said Jim Delgadillo, president of the John Swett school board. "He is an exceptional candidate with great leadership ability."
Stockberger will take over management of the district's school construction program. Ninety-year-old John Swett High School in Crockett is in the midst of a rebuild, and trustees have commissioned a seismic evaluation of the aging Carquinez Middle School across the street that will be completed in a couple of weeks, Delgadillo said.
If the middle school needs to be replaced, the district may need to put a school construction bond on the ballot to raise the money.
"Any decisions we'll be making on the middle school will be based on the (seismic) report," Delgadillo said.
Besides the high school and middle school, the John Swett district operates Rodeo Hills Elementary School in Rodeo and Willow High School, a continuation school, in Crockett.
Stockberger's base annual salary will be $155,000.

James Hong And Mike O'Malley Join Ryan Reynolds In R.I.P.D.
On the heels of Thursday's announcement about model Marisa Miller, two more names have been added to the cast of Universal Pictures' supernatural comedy R.I.P.D.: Glee's Mike O'Malley and Big Trouble in Little China's James Hong.
Based on the 2000 Dark Horse miniseries by Peter M. Lenkov and Lucas Marangon, R.I.P.D. centers on the Rest In Peace Department, a divine law-enforcement division comprised of ghosts who grapple with spirits who aren't ready to depart this world. Director Robert Schwentke's adaptation stars Ryan Reynolds as Nick Cruz, a recently murdered police officer who trades 100 years of service to the R.I.P.D. in exchange for a shot at finding his killer. Jeff Bridges plays his partner, a wise-cracking ghost who's been hunting spirits since the 19th century.
Hong will play Reynolds' human avatar Grandpa Chen, serving as the form the living see when he's in his earthly form (Miller is Bridges' avatar). O'Malley has been cast as Elliot, whom Deadline describes merely as "a kind of ghost." R.I.P.D. also stars Kevin Bacon, Mary-Louise Parker and Stephanie Szostak.
Clash of the Titans screenwriters Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay penned the script. Dark Horse's Mike Richardson will produce with Neal Moritz and David Dobkin.

Westchester County recycling numbers outperform EPA standards
Efforts to go green are making a difference in Westchester, which recycled 52 percent of its garbage last year, outpacing the Environmental Protection Agency's national goal of a 35 percent recycling rate, according to county officials.
And for the fifth year in a row, the volume of garbage generated by residents also declined, dropping to 3.81 pounds of trash per person per day, compared with the national rate of 4.43 pounds per day. A total of 376,890 tons were collected from homes last year, a reduction of 30.2 percent since a 2007 record high of 540,217 tons hauled from residences.
"A lot of it has to do with recycling education," said Louis Vetrone, deputy commissioner for the county's Department of Environmental Facilities. But he said national trends have been helpful, too, as product manufacturers use less packaging and electronics makers run e-waste programs that encourage shoppers to turn in TVs and computers they no longer want.
Other reasons for better recycling stats are more subtle. "Whenever there is a slower economy, there is less trash," Vetrone said.
Westchester County also has been running special collections, with more in the works. This year, as in springs past, the county will collect boat wrap from participating marinas. The popular county-owned, mobile shredding truck makes stops in various municipalities where residents line up to dispose of confidential documents. Residents also can make appointments at the county's Household Material Recovery Facility in Valhalla, where they can drop off hazardous items such as automotive fluids, e-waste and Freon-containing appliances.
At the end of this month, the county plans to launch a three-month pilot demonstration project featuring a food composter. The goal is to encourage companies and organizations to compost food scraps -- the next frontier in recycling because food usually accounts for about 25 percent of all garbage, Vetrone said.
"If you can show people they can save money, they're going to do it, obviously," Vetrone said, adding that food composting can significantly a facility's garbage hauling expenses.
Once the pilot program ends, the county will be looking to launch a food composting program that would possibly recycle food taken from the county prison and Rye Playland, Vetrone told Newsday.

Very nice! The tea is brisk and strong and vibrant! Hints of sweetness in the background, no bitterness. A very good, solid black tea.
I really like Teatulia's customer service too. I recently had an issue, and they responded to it promptly, and went above and beyond to fix the problem. I like doing business with a company that treats me so well! In addition, their dedication to the environment is inspiring! An A+ to this company for these efforts!

Since Hurricane Matthew devastated southwest regions of Haiti earlier this month, Fenelom and baby Yves have been sheltering at a damaged school with more than 200 other people. At just 45 days old, Yves is vulnerable to illnesses that can spread rapidly in overcrowded living conditions with limited sanitation infrastructure. So Fenelom is waiting to receive treatment at one of our mobile health clinics where our Emergency Health Unit (EHU) has been deployed to deliver urgent health care to those who need it most.

And the Random Integer Generator picked #2:
Mara, who said:
Man, I'm #2… #2 never wins
Oh well, i'll try anyway! My favorite nut by far is me oh, you meant edible? Probably cashew or chestnuts… yum!
Hehe – I guess sometimes #2 does in fact win. Congrats Mara! Please email me with your address, and your Nuttzo is on its way. For those of you who didn't win, you must try this nut butter as I am loving it! Danielle, creator of Nuttzo sent me this brief description when I inquired about the ingredients:
The crunchiness comes from whole flax seeds and hazelnut pieces. There is no added sugar so the sweetness comes from the sunflower seeds and the Valencia peanuts. The Valencia peanuts, cashews, almonds, brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, ground flax seed and sea salt are ground into a delectable, thin butter.
Seriously you guys, so good! Click here to see if it's available in your area or to order your own online.
Before I get to my creamer review, I just wanted to thank everyone so much for all the Happy Anniversary wishes. CD and I felt so loved yesterday. We went out to eat at Park Cafe, my favorite restaurant in Nashville, and the site of our wedding ceremony. I mentioned that we were going there somewhere in the comments of my post yesterday, and my sweet Yoga Fairy (Alice, my mother-in-law) read it, called the restaurant, and treated us to dinner all the way from Arizona. So, again many thanks to all of you and to John and Alice for a wonderful meal!
OK, time for some coffee talk…
Please excuse the bad lighting, but that photo was taken at 5 AM. I've been drinking hot water with lemon most mornings, but when my box of So Delicious Coconut Milk creamers arrived, I busted out the decaf.
I tried the original flavor first, and although it does contains cane juice, it was not sweet at all. However, after adding some liquid stevia drops, it was perfect. Rich, creamy, and slightly sweet. The French vanilla creamer was great all on its own, but the hazelnut…no thanks. It was way too sweet and tasted fake, even though it does not contain any artificial ingredients. The contents of that mug ended up in the sink. However, it did make for some pretty tasty Nutella ice-cream. 🙂
2 cups So Delicious hazlenut creamer + 2 TBSP cocoa powder. That's it. Lovely.
I've heard the creamers are available at Whole Foods, and I would highly recommend the original all well as the French vanilla flavors as far as taste goes. The hazelnut? Yeah, not so much. My only problem with the creamers (besides the fact that the hazelnut tasted like I was doing straight shots of amaretto) is that they all contain sugar, including the original flavor. Even though organic coconut milk is listed as the first ingredient in the French vanilla followed by organic evaporated cane juice, 1 TBSP contains 20 calories, 0 fat, and 4 grams of sugar. That's a lot of sugar folks, especially for the amount of creamer I use. I think I'll stick with the original, 20 calories and only 1 gram of sugar per serving. Much better.
Happy Wednesday to you all.

Before you can say, "Happy Birthday to Me," he's dabbed his face with a small towel and headed out to the front room. No one will know. But you're smart.
