Annual Water Quality Report Template for Community Water Systems Serving 1,000 or more Service Connections Instructions: This template was created by the New York State Department of Health (DOH) for New York State Community Water Systems serving 1,000 or more service connections. This template should be used in conjunction with the DOH's "Preparing Your Drinking Water Annual Water Quality Report – Guidance for Water Suppliers." This template was created for typical water systems; operators of more complicated systems (e.g. multiple distribution systems, multiple sampling points) may need to alter the Table of Detected Contaminants to conform to their system. You will need to read the different sections of this template closely to determine which sections should be rewritten and which should be deleted. Instructions for the template are in red text and should be deleted from your final version. You should read the sections written in blue text and edit these sections as appropriate. Please read the directions for each section to determine if you may delete a specific section from your report. If you have any questions regarding this template or need technical assistance please call your local health department. Annual Drinking Water Quality Report for 2009 System Name System Address (Public Water Supply ID# ) INTRODUCTION To comply with State regulations, system name, will be annually issuing a report describing the quality of your drinking water. The purpose of this report is to raise your understanding of drinking water and awareness of the need to protect our drinking water sources. Last year, your tap water met all State drinking water health standards. We are proud to report that our system did not violate a maximum contaminant level or any other water quality standard. Or if you had a violation - Last year, we conducted tests for over 80 contaminants (modify as appropriate). We detected __ of those contaminants, and only found __ of those contaminants at a level higher than the State allows. As we told you at that time, our water temporarily exceeded a drinking water standard and we rectified the problem by ….(include appropriate explanation). This report provides an overview of last year's water quality. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to State standards. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your drinking water, please contact name, title, phone #. We want you to be informed about your drinking water. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled village board meetings (modify meeting type as appropriate). The meetings are held date, time and location. (If you are a small system (e.g. mobile home park, apartment complex, or subdivision) and you do not have meetings, we encourage you to tell customers that you would discuss any drinking water issues with them in person). WHERE DOES OUR WATER COME FROM? In general, the sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activities. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: microbial contaminants; inorganic contaminants; pesticides and herbicides; organic chemical contaminants; and radioactive contaminants. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the State and the EPA prescribe regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The State Health Department's and the FDA's regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Our water source is (name the source and type, e.g. groundwater wells: groundwater drawn from four 50-foot deep drilled wells or for surface water: e.g. is surface water drawn from Maple Pond) which is located (include general location of source, e.g. located near Mill Road and Main Street). During 2009, our system did not experience any restriction of our water source. Or if you had a water source restriction – During 2009, (explain the water source restriction – see page 17 of the State Guidance document). The water is (briefly describe treatment see page 5 of State Guidance document) prior to distribution. Your report must include a brief summary of your source water's susceptibility to contamination based on the findings of your system's source water assessment, if such assessment is available. The summary must be included annually despite no updates or changes from the previous year's report. Your county or district health department office will provide this summary. You should also inform your customers of the availability of the source water assessment and how they can obtain a copy of it. You may wish to describe any current or on-going source water protection activities in this section of your report. FACTS AND FIGURES Our water system serves (include the number of people and service connection, e.g. 5,900 people through 1,300 service connections). The total water produced in 2009 was (include a description of water use, e.g. The total amount of water produced in 2009 was 267 million gallons. The daily average of water treated and pumped into the distribution system was 725,000 gallons per day. Our highest single day was 898,000 gallons). The amount of water delivered to customers was (include an accounting of the total annual amount of water delivered and lost from the system, e.g. The amount of water delivered to customers was 260 million gallons. This leaves an unaccounted for total of 7 million gallons. This water was used to flush mains, fight fires and leakage, accounts for the remaining 7 million gallons (3% of the total amount produced). In 2009, water customers (describe water charge in annual charge per 1,000 gal and annual user costs if determinable) were charged $ per 1,000 gallons of water and the annual average water charge per user was $ … . ARE THERE CONTAMINANTS IN OUR DRINKING WATER? As the State regulations require, we routinely test your drinking water for numerous contaminants. These contaminants include: total coliform, turbidity, inorganic compounds, nitrate, nitrite, lead and copper, volatile organic compounds, total trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, radiological and synthetic organic compounds. (modify this section appropriately you may wish to list the contaminant groups, you may even want to include the number of contaminants in each group, or you may wish to refer to another portion of the report where you list the name of each contaminant analyzed for but not detected). The table presented below depicts which compounds were detected in your drinking water. The State allows us to test for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. Some of our data, though representative, are more than one year old. If you have prepared an Annual Water Quality Report Supplement (see page 20 of the State Guidance document for a description of what a supplement is and what type of data it contains) your Annual Water Quality Report should reference the supplement and provide information on how it can be accessed by your customers. This section of the report may be a good place to make this reference. It should be noted that all drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426- 4791) or the (name of county or district office) Health Department at (phone number for local health department). The table should be completed using pages 7-12, Table 1 and Appendix B of the State Guidance Document. Anything listed in Table 1 must be included in your report. Pages 7-12 describe the required contents for the Table, Table 1 provides you with the MCL (converted to a whole number), the units of the MCL, the MCLG, and the likely source of the contaminant. For each detected contaminant you should consult Table 1 to obtain this information and insert (type) it into your Table of Detected Contaminants. If your results are reported in units that differ from the MCL in Table 1 you must convert your results so that they are in the same units as the MCL. A conversion table is presented on page 8 of the State Guidance Document). The table should only include information on detected contaminants. (It must not include data that are not detected (i.e. represented on a lab report with a less than sign "<", or denoted by the letters "LT" or "ND"). We have provided you with the table headings and are asking you to use the above referenced sections of the Guidance Document to fill in the table. We encourage you to separate contaminant categories with applicable headings (e.g. Microbiological Contaminants, Inorganic Compounds, Synthetic Organic Compounds, Volatile Organic Compounds, Disinfection Byproducts, Other Principal Organic Contaminants, Unspecified Organic Contaminants). For the level detected heading we have provided subheadings of Average and Range. Please feel free to change these subheadings, if your reporting criteria do not match these subheadings (see page 9 of Guidance Document). For reporting of lead and copper you must include the 90th percentile level, present the range of detects and explain how many of your samples were above the Action Level (see Appendix B of the Guidance Document). Appendix B also provides information on how to report multiple sampling sites with one sampling date; one sampling site at multiple sampling dates; multiple sampling sites with multiple sampling dates; and how to report turbidity and total coliform. You must report your most recent data from the reporting year (for example reports published in 2010 would report on 2009 data). If you did not sample for a compound in 2009 you must report the most recent sampling (going back 5 years). For example, if you sampled for inorganic compounds in 2009 you would include that data. If you did not sample for volatile organic compounds in 2009, but did in 2008 you must include the 2008 data. If you have not detected any contaminants you do not need to include this table, but you may want to include a paragraph like this: As the State regulations require, we routinely test your drinking water for numerous contaminants. These contaminants include: total coliform, turbidity, inorganic compounds, nitrate, nitrite, lead and copper, volatile organic compounds, total trihalomethanes, and synthetic organic compounds. (modify this section appropriately, you may wish to list the contaminant groups, you may even want to include the number of contaminants in each group) None of the compounds we analyzed for were detected in your drinking water. Table of Detected Contaminants Level Detected Unit Violation Date of (Avg/Max) Measure- Regulatory Limit Likely Source of Contaminant Yes/No Sample (Range) ment MCLG (MCL, TT or AL) Contamination Notes: Footnotes should be used to expand on some of the information in your table. Surface water systems may wish to include footnotes to explain turbidity (what it is and why you monitor it). All systems may wish to use footnotes to discuss lead and copper results (define what the 90th percentile value means and report how many lead or copper results exceeded the action level). Systems may also wish to use the notes to clarify what the level detected represents (e.g. # of samples collected, type of average calculated). We have included some sample footnote language. Please note that these statements must be modified to conform to your system. 1 – Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of the water. We test it because it is a good indicator of the effectiveness of our filtration system. Our highest single turbidity measurement (0.9 NTU) for the year occurred on (give date). State regulations require that turbidity must always be below 1 NTU. The regulations require that 95% of the turbidity samples collected have measurements below 0.3 NTU. Although (give date) was the month when we had the fewest measurements meeting the treatment technique for turbidity, the levels recorded were within the acceptable range allowed and did not constitute a treatment technique violation. 2 – The level presented represents the 90th percentile of the 10 sites tested. A percentile is a value on a scale of 100 that indicates the percent of a distribution that is equal to or below it. The 90th percentile is equal to or greater than 90% of the copper values detected at your water system. In this case, (include number of samples, e.g. ten samples) samples were collected at your water system and the 90th percentile value was the (include what sample had the highest value, e.g. second highest value) value (include level detected e.g. 1.1 mg/l). The action level for copper was not exceeded at any of the sites tested. 3 – The level presented represents the 90th percentile of the (include number of samples, e.g. ten samples) samples collected. The action level for lead was exceeded at two of the 10 sites tested. 4 – This level represents the annual quarterly average calculated from data collected. Definitions: The definitions for MCL, MCLG, MRDL, and MRDLG are required in all Annual Water Quality Reports. Include the other definitions if you use them in your table. If you do not use them you may choose to delete them. For example, if you are not regulated under a Treatment Technique requirement or if you do not measure turbidity (NTU) you could delete those definitions. Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contamination. Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Treatment Technique (TT): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Non-Detects (ND): Laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present. Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU): A measure of the clarity of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the average person. Milligrams per liter (mg/l): Corresponds to one part of liquid in one million parts of liquid (parts per million - ppm). Micrograms per liter (ug/l): Corresponds to one part of liquid in one billion parts of liquid (parts per billion - ppb). Nanograms per liter (ng/l): Corresponds to one part of liquid to one trillion parts of liquid (parts per trillion - ppt). Picograms per liter (pg/l): Corresponds to one part per of liquid to one quadrillion parts of liquid (parts per quadrillion – ppq). Picocuries per liter (pCi/L): A measure of the radioactivity in water. Millirems per year (mrem/yr): A measure of radiation absorbed by the body. Million Fibers per Liter (MFL): A measure of the presence of asbestos fibers that are longer than 10 micrometers. WHAT DOES THIS INFORMATION MEAN? This section of your report should explain what the results of the table mean. If you had a MCL, Treatment Technique or Action Level violation, you are REQUIRED to have an explanation of the violation including, duration of the violation, potential adverse health effects and actions taken to address the violation. The health effects language must be included word for word and is included in Table 1 of the State Guidance Document. If there is no health effects language for a contaminant listed in Table 1 and the contaminant is detected above the MCL you should contact the State Health Department at 518-402-7650 to obtain the appropriate language. If you had violations you may wish to include the following type of statement: The table shows that our system uncovered some problems this year. (describe problem). The duration of the violation was ... the potential adverse health effects are... (restate from health effects language in Table 1 of Guidance Document) We (have corrected/are correcting) this by ................ If you had a detect but no violations and did not detect arsenic, nitrate, or fluoride above the specified threshold levels (see below): As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. We have learned through our testing that some contaminants have been detected; however, these contaminants were detected below the level allowed by the State. If contaminants were detected below the MCL but you detected arsenic, nitrate or fluoride above the levels specified below you must include the following statements: A system must provide information on lead in drinking water irrespective of whether the system detected lead in any of its samples. If above 15 ug/l the Action Level (AL) in more than 5%, but fewer than 10%, of the sites sampled [or if your system samples fewer than 20 sites and has even one sample above the AL, you will need to include the standard explanation for an AL exceedance. As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. We have learned through our testing that some contaminants have been detected; however, these contaminants were detected below New York State requirements. It should be noted that the action level for lead was exceeded (describe exceedance, e.g. in one of the samples collected). We are required to present the following information on lead in drinking water: If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women, infants, and young children. It is possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than at other homes in the community as a result of materials used in your home's plumbing. [NAME OF UTILITY] is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. Nitrate (must be included if detected above 5 mg/l, but below 10 mg/l) As you can see by the table, our system had no violations, but we have learned through our testing that some contaminants have been detected; however, these contaminants were detected below New York State requirements. Although nitrate was detected below the MCL, it was detected at (insert detected level) which is greater than one-half of the MCL. Therefore, we are required to present the following information on nitrate in drinking water: "Nitrate in drinking water at levels above 10 mg/l is a health risk for infants of less than six months of age. High nitrate levels in drinking water can cause blue baby syndrome. Nitrate levels may rise quickly for short periods of time because of rainfall or agricultural activity. If you are caring for an infant, you should ask for advice from you health care provider." Arsenic (must be included if detected above 5 ug/l, but below 10 ug/l) As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. We have learned through our testing that some contaminants have been detected; however, these contaminants were detected below current federal drinking water requirements. Although arsenic was detected below the MCL, it was detected at (insert detected level) which is greater than one-half of the MCL. Therefore, we are required to present the following information on arsenic in drinking water: "NYS and EPA have promulgated a drinking water arsenic standard of 10 parts per billion. While your drinking water meets the standard for arsenic, it does contain low levels of arsenic. The standard balances the current understanding of arsenic's possible health effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. EPA continues to research the health effect of low levels of arsenic, which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems." Fluoride (must be included if detected above 2.0 mg/l, but below 2.2 mg/l) Fluoride is commonly added to drinking water at low levels to provide consumer dental health. But fluoride found at high enough levels can create a health risk if consumed over a long period and there is a MCL for fluoride to address this risk. Our testing detected an elevated level of fluoride (describe frequency and levels, e.g. on one occasion at 2.1 mg/l) during (year). Although fluoride was not detected above the MCL, it was detected above 2.0 mg/l and we are therefore required to present the following information on fluoride in drinking water: "Some people who drink water containing fluoride in excess of the MCL over many years could get bone disease, including pain and tenderness of the bones. Children may get mottled teeth." IS OUR WATER SYSTEM MEETING OTHER RULES THAT GOVERN OPERATIONS? This section of the report should be used to relay information regarding the system's compliance with other State Sanitary Code Requirements (see page 15 of the State Guidance Document – Item 8). Example statements for this section are presented below. If you did not have any violations of the State Sanitary Code feel free to state that fact or remove this section from your report. Sample statement for systems that do not have violations: During 2009, our system was in compliance with applicable State drinking water operating, monitoring and reporting requirements. Sample statements for systems with violations: Treatment Technique Filtration and Disinfection Violations (systems that have failed to install adequate filtration or disinfection equipment or processes, or have had a failure of such equipment or processes which constitutes a violation): The Village of Flanigan is in violation of (describe the violation, e.g. the Surface Water Treatment Rule and is required to install a water filtration plant or develop a new water source by …). Therefore, we are required to include the following statement in this report: "Inadequately treated water may contain disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches." The Village is in the process of actively seeking funding and has hired design engineers to comply with the Surface Water Treatment Rule. Lead and Copper Control Requirements (systems that fail to meet corrosion control treatment, source water treatment, or lead service line requirements): The Village of Flanigan is in violation of State lead and copper control requirements for (describe the violation, e.g. failure to meet corrosion control treatment) and is required (describe what State is requiring). Therefore, we must include the following statement in this report: "Infants and children who drink water containing lead in excess of the action level could experience delays in their physical or mental development. Children could show slight deficits in attention span and learning disabilities. Adults who drink this water over many years could develop kidney problems or high blood pressure." Acrylamide and Epichlorohydrin (systems that violate either treatment technique): The Village of Flanigan is in violation of the treatment technique for (Acrylamide or Epichlorohydrin). We use these chemicals in our system to (describe their use) and (have corrected the problem or are in the process of correcting the problem by…). Some people who drink water containing high levels of acrylamide over a long period of time could have problems with their nervous systems or blood, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. or Some people who drink water containing high levels of epichlorohydrin over a long period of time could experience stomach problems, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Monitoring Violations: We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not your drinking water meets health standards. During 2009, we "did not monitor or test" or "did not complete all monitoring or testing" for (contaminant(s)), and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of your drinking water during that time. Reporting Violations: We constantly test for various contaminants in the water supply to comply with regulatory requirements. This past year we monitored for (describe the contaminant) but failed to provide the results to the (name of local health department). This does not pose a threat to the quality of our water supply. Variances, Exemptions, Administrative or Judicial Orders: If your system operated under any of these areas during the year covered by the report, your report must include an explanation of the item, the date it was issued, why it was granted, when it is up for renewal, and a status report on what the system is doing to remedy the problem. Examples of these items include biofilm variances, Surface Water Treatment Rule exemptions, Administrative Orders requiring compliance with the Surface Water Treatment Rule or other portions of the State Sanitary Code. If you have questions regarding this section of the report, please contact your local health department. INFORMATION ON CRYPTOSPORIDIUM Systems that have performed any monitoring for Cryptosporidium that indicates that Cryptosporidium may be present in the source water or the finished water your report must include a summary of the result and an explanation of the significance. If you did not analyze for Cryptosporidium or they were analyzed for but not detected you may delete this section from your report. Example language for this section is as follows: Cryptosporidium is a microbial pathogen found in surface water and groundwater under the influence of surface water. Although filtration removes Cryptosporidium, the most commonly-used filtration methods cannot guarantee 100 percent removal. During 2009, as part of our routine sampling, (include number of samples collected and sample location, e.g. 25 samples of Placid Reservoir source water) were collected and analyzed for Cryptosporidium oocysts. Of these samples, (explain results e.g. three were presumed positive for Cryptosporidium, and one was confirmed positive. Therefore, our testing indicates the presence of Cryptosporidium in our source water). Current test methods do not allow us to determine if the organisms are dead or if they are capable of causing disease. Five additional filtered water samples were tested for Cryptosporidium oocysts and none were detected. Ingestion of Cryptosporidium may cause cryptosporidiosis, a gastrointestinal infection. Symptoms of infection include nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. Most healthy individuals can overcome disease within a few weeks. However, immuno-compromised people are at greater risk of developing life-threatening illness. We encourage immuno-compromised individuals to consult their health care provider regarding appropriate precautions to take to avoid infection. Cryptosporidium must be ingested to cause disease, and it may be spread through means other than drinking water. INFORMATION ON GIARDIA Systems that have performed any monitoring for Giardia that indicates that Giardia may be present in the source water or the finished water must include the summary of the results and an explanation of the significance. If you did not analyze for Giardia or Giardia was analyzed for but not detected you may delete this section from your report. Giardia is a microbial pathogen present in varying concentrations in many surface waters and groundwater under the influence of surface water. Giardia is removed/inactivated through a combination of filtration and disinfection or by disinfection. During 2009, as part of our routine sampling, (include number of samples collected and sample location, e.g. 25 samples of Placid Reservoir source water) were collected and analyzed for Giardia cysts. Of these samples, (explain results, e.g. ten were presumed positive for Giardia, and one was confirmed positive). Therefore, our testing indicates the presence of Giardia in our source water. Current test methods do not allow us to determine if the organisms are dead or if they are capable of causing disease. Five additional filtered water samples were tested for Giardia cysts and none were detected. Ingestion of Giardia may cause giardiasis, an intestinal illness. People exposed to Giardia may experience mild or severe diarrhea, or in some instances no symptoms at all. Fever is rarely present. Occasionally, some individuals will have chronic diarrhea over several weeks or a month, with significant weight loss. Giardiasis can be treated with anti-parasitic medication. Individuals with weakened immune systems should consult with their health care providers about what steps would best reduce their risks of becoming infected with Giardiasis. Individuals who think that they may have been exposed to Giardiasis should contact their health care providers immediately. The Giardia parasite is passed in the feces of an infected person or animal and may contaminate water or food. Person to person transmission may also occur in day care centers or other settings where handwashing practices are poor. INFORMATION ON RADON If your system performed monitoring that indicates the presence of radon in its finished water, include a summary describing: the sampling sites; the number of tests conducted during the reporting year; the testing results; any actions taken in response to those results; and an explanation of the significance of the results. If you did not analyze for radon or radon was analyzed for but not detected you may delete this section from your report. Radon is a naturally-occurring radioactive gas found in soil and outdoor air that may also be found in drinking water and indoor air. Some people exposed to elevated radon levels over many years in drinking water may have an increased risk of getting cancer. The main risk is lung cancer from radon entering indoor air from soil under homes. In 2009, we collected (describe number of samples collected, e.g. four representative water samples one per quarter) that were analyzed for radon. The (describe radon results, e.g. average of the four samples was 250 picocuries/liter (pCi/l)). For additional information call your state radon program (1- 800-458-1158) or call EPA's Radon Hotline (1-800-SOS-Radon). DO I NEED TO TAKE SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS? For systems that did not have any violations: Although our drinking water met or exceeded state and federal regulations, some people may be more vulnerable to disease causing microorganisms or pathogens in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice from their health care provider about their drinking water. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium, Giardia and other microbial pathogens are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). For systems that had drinking water violations: Some people may be more vulnerable to disease causing microorganisms or pathogens in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice from their health care provider about their drinking water. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium, Giardia and other microbial pathogens are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). INFORMATION ON UNREGULATED CONTAMINANTS If your system performed monitoring for the EPA Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation (UCMR) within the last five years, you must report the monitoring results of any detected contaminants in the Table of Detected Contaminants. Your report must identify a person and a phone number to contact for information on the monitoring results. If your system performed monitoring under UCMR but did not detect any contaminants, you may delete this section from your report. INFORMATION ON FLUORIDE ADDITION Systems that provide drinking water with supplemental fluoride must add this section: Our system is one of the many drinking water systems in New York State that provides drinking water with a controlled, low level of fluoride for consumer dental health protection. Systems that purchase fluoridated water may want to add: Fluoride is added to your water by the (supplying system name) before it is delivered to us. According to the United States Centers for Disease Control, fluoride is very effective in preventing cavities when present in drinking water at an optimal range from 0.8 to 1.2 mg/l (parts per million). To ensure that the fluoride supplement in your water provides optimal dental protection, the State Department of Health requires that we or if water is purchased (the supplying system name) monitor fluoride levels on a daily basis. During (year) monitoring showed fluoride levels in your water were in the optimal range _ % of the time. Add if no monitoring results >2.0 mg/l: None of the monitoring results showed fluoride at levels that approach the 2.2 mg/l MCL for fluoride. If fluoride addition was interrupted at the time the AWQR is published, and has been interrupted for more than 6 months or is not expected to be back online before 6 months, add this paragraph: Currently there is an interruption to fluoride addition. Since (date interruption began), supplemental fluoride has not been added to your drinking water, and we do not or if water is purchased (supplying system name does not) expect fluoride addition to be restored before (date). You may want to discuss this with your family dentist to see if some other form of fluoride supplement should be considered for your dental protection. INFORMATION FOR NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING RESIDENTS Include this information if there is a significant number of non-English speaking customers. You should decide whether to include information for non-English speaking residents with input from the local health department. Example statements in Spanish and French are provided below. Electronic versions in Korean and Chinese can be obtained by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. Spanish Este informe contiene información muy importante sobre su agua beber. Tradúzcalo ó hable con alguien que lo entienda bien. French Ce rapport contient des informations importantes sur votre eau potable. Traduisez-le ou parlez en avec quelqu'un qui le comprend bien. WHY SAVE WATER AND HOW TO AVOID WASTING IT? Systems must include a discussion of water conservation measures available to customers. A number of examples are presented on page 18-19 of the State Guidance document. An example statement is provided below. Although our system has an adequate amount of water to meet present and future demands, there are a number of reasons why it is important to conserve water: Saving water saves energy and some of the costs associated with both of these necessities of life; Saving water reduces the cost of energy required to pump water and the need to construct costly new wells, pumping systems and water towers; and Saving water lessens the strain on the water system during a dry spell or drought, helping to avoid severe water use restrictions so that essential fire fighting needs are met. You can play a role in conserving water by becoming conscious of the amount of water your household is using, and by looking for ways to use less whenever you can. It is not hard to conserve water. Conservation tips include: Automatic dishwashers use 15 gallons for every cycle, regardless of how many dishes are loaded. So get a run for your money and load it to capacity. Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. Check every faucet in your home for leaks. Just a slow drip can waste 15 to 20 gallons a day. Fix it and you can save almost 6,000 gallons per year. Check your toilets for leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank, watch for a few minutes to see if the color shows up in the bowl. It is not uncommon to lose up to 100 gallons a day from one of these otherwise invisible toilet leaks. Fix it and you save more than 30,000 gallons a year. Use your water meter to detect hidden leaks. Simply turn off all taps and water using appliances, then check the meter after 15 minutes. If it moved, you have a leak. SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS This section provides a description of any major facility modification completed by the water system during the reporting period. The description should include the effect the modification had on the water system. This section should also include a discussion of capital improvements needed or planned (see page 19 of State Guidance document). In 2009, (describe improvement or modification, e.g. we completed construction of a new filter plant building on Grace Avenue). This improvement (describe effect of improvement on water system, e.g. This building will eventual house a pressure filter that will be used to enhance the quality of finished water). In our continuing efforts to maintain a safe and dependable water supply it may be necessary to make improvements in your water system. The costs of these improvements may be reflected in the rate structure. Rate adjustments may be necessary in order to address these improvements. In 2009, (discuss any planned capital improvement, e.g. we plan to complete the filtration plant project and install new water mains along Main Street). CLOSING You may end your report any way that you wish. Please feel free to modify the following example as appropriate. Thank you for allowing us to continue to provide your family with quality drinking water this year. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community. Please call our office if you have questions.

Recent Escondido reviews
"This property was absolutely perfect for our family of 15 people to spend Christmas together and celebrate my mother-in-laws 80th birthday! Sharon is fabulous to deal with as well - she went out of her way to ensure everything was handled for our trip from putting up some Christmas decorations to heating up the pool for us in advance of our arrival, to getting us great discounted tickets for the Wild Animal Park and ensured our stay was perfect. It was not easy to find a place that could host 14 adults and a 1 1/2 year old! It was wonderful as each couple could have their own bedroom and bathroom. We stocked up at the Costco that was close by and made all our dinners in the fabulous kitchen. Everyone was able to have a seat for dinners, using both the dining room table and kitchen bar. The huge center island was so wonderful for serving and preparation. Having 2 dishwashers for our large group was key! One of our favorite things was spending our mornings out on the patio by the pool and the firepit. Everyone got their coffee and enjoyed the sunrise and talking in this warm and inviting area. We BBQ'd lunches and also made some great steaks on the outside grill. The pools/patio area of the property was loved by our entire group - the views are spectacular and sunsets amazing! The kids also really enjoyed playing ping pong and basketball in the game room. We all spent alot of time in the hottub and thoroughly enjoyed it each day! The spacious living room allowed space for our entire group to play games together at night and enjoy our annual Christmas tradition of watching, "Christmas Vacation" on the DVD player and big screen TV. It was absolutely quiet at night and made for a peaceful and relaxing sleep for all! We spent one day at the Wild Animal Park which is literally about 5 minutes from the house. Had an easy drive to the airport from the house as well. Highly recommend this property for a large group in particular!"Guest: Kay A.

"My family and I had the pleasure of staying at the property this past August, and it was amazing from the moment we pulled into the driveway. Lea takes great pride in a friendly and informative welcome - after arriving after a long day of travel, we were delighted to see snacks and home-baked goodies waiting for us, as well as a personal tour of the property that was insightful and helpful. There were four of us and one toddler, and we never felt crowded, each with our own bedroom and bathroom. Major positives of the home that is by far the best in the area (as far as luxury appeal, where it sits in the neighborhood, and scenery) besides the obvious included a deluxe, easy-to-use sound system that you could personalize and control in all areas of the house, dimming lights throughout every room and pool, state-of-the-art kitchen and appliances, wonderful landscaping and areas to read/relax throughout the property, and location was perfect (just far enough away from it all, but still within a few miles of anything you would need). The neighborhood was quiet, peaceful and a great place to just wander around - there are a lot of trails for hiking, and it is also a great home to just roll out of bed and be able to go on a great, challenging (uphill mostly) morning run. The decor (including a piano, a few fireplaces, a great media room, and personalized touches) was nothing short of classy, beautiful, and very appropriate for a luxury home. Well-thought through amenities included fully stocked beauty supplies (nail polish selection, organic shampoo and conditioners, lotions, etc.), necessities (paper towels, paper plates, well-stocked kitchen with blender and all tools, etc.), spices, and cleaning supplies. Additionally, the owners are so friendly and great communicators, and they made it clear they would be at our disposal if we ever needed them for anything (which, we actually did not need them for anything anyway!). We will certainly return here and are already missing it, even though we only have been away for less than two weeks! We had looked at several different properties in the area to compare and are so happy we had the privilege to enjoy this property. As a well-traveled family, we have stayed at five-star properties around the world and would rate this home as top-of-the list for sure - you won't regret booking this property!"Guest: Walker Family Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: August 28, 2014View listing
"I cannot recommend this place more! I'm not sure what we liked more, the hosts or the casita, both were fantastic and had everything we needed. We are already looking forward to our next visit."Guest: Jennifer O. Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: April 23, 2015View listing

I would have thought this was going to be a very simple task but I have been struggling with it for a couple of days now, and slightly frustrated! I am not very familiar with Windows batch scripts so please if you know the answer, keep it as simple as possible :)
Basically, I have a Windows Shutdown script (.bat file) in which I would like to know if two text files are the same (i.e. their content is exactly the same), and if so, perform a goto command (e.g. goto line10)
I can't figure out how to do this! Your help is much appreciated!

Introduction to Molecules and Ions Reading: Ch 3 sections 1- 6 Homework: Chapter 3: 23, 25, 27, 29*, 31, 33*, 35*, 39, 43, 49*, 51*, 53 * = 'important' homework question Molecules, Molecular Elements and Molecular Compounds Recap: What is a molecule? What is a molecular compound? What is a molecular element? Molecule: Molecular Element: Molecular Compound: Molecules and their Chemical Formulas There are two ways of describing the components (i.e. the number and type of atoms) found inside any molecule: Molecular Formula: the actual number and type of atoms in a compound, e.g. hydrogen peroxide = H2O2 Empirical Formula: the lowest whole number ratio of each type of atom in a compound e.g. hydrogen peroxide = HO Task: Complete the following table Name Molecular formula Empirical formula Hydrogen peroxide Dinitrogen tetroxide N2O4 Benzene C6H6 Butane C4H10 Tetraphosphorus decoxide P4O10 Note: Empirical formulas most often pertain to molecular / covalent compounds, as ionic compounds' formulas are typically in their lowest ratio to begin with (this will be discussed further below) Picturing Molecules – Structural Formulas A structural formula is simply a more detailed version of the molecule's corresponding molecular formula. The major difference is that structural formulas also indicate the spatial relationship, and bonding, between atoms in a molecule Eg: Name and Electron density map of the Structural Formula Molecular 'real' molecule Formula Water (H2O) Task: Using the electron density maps as a guide, complete the following table Key Name and Electron density map of the Structural Formula Molecular 'real' molecule Formula Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Methane (CH4) Ethane (C2H6) Ammonia (NH3) Naming Molecular Elements and Compounds Task: Write the formula of and name as many molecular elements and compounds as you can Formula Name Formula Name Discussion: What relationships do you see between the names and formulas of molecular compounds? Prefix Table Number of atoms Prefix* Example 1 2 3 4 5 6 *Prefixes are dropped for the first single atom in a formula. E.g. CO2 is named 'Carbon dioxide', not 'Mono Carbon dioxide'. Tasks: Name the Following: Write formulas for the following: NF3 Chlorine dioxide Cl2O Chlorine pentafluoride P2O5 Dihydrogen monosulfide* * If named using ionic nomenclature, also known as _________________ Location, Location, Location! ONLY a non-metal bonded to another non-metal (top RHS p. table) make molecular materials with covalent bonds. E.g. CO, H2O, SO3 THESE MATERIALS ARE NAMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ABOVE 'MOLECULAR' RULES Metallic vs Non metallic Elements in the Periodic Table ONLY a non-metal (top RHS) bonded to metal (LHS) make giant compounds with ionic bonds. E.g. NaCl, CaO THESE MATERIALS ARE NAMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE 'IONIC' RULES DISCUSSED IMMEDIATELY BELOW Ions and Ionic Compounds Questions: What are ions? How are they made? Ion: *Atomic Ions: * Ask me to tell you a very poor ion joke….. Atomic (micro) scale diagram of Ionization and macro scale crystal growth (slide) In reality, electron(s) are EXCHANGED between atoms in order to become ionic compounds. I.E. what is lost by the metal (to become an Mn+ cation) is gained by the non-metal (to become An- anion) Making and Naming Ionic Formulas List of Common atomic ions (must learn): See appendixes Group I Group VII Group II Group VI Group III Group V Naming atomic ions: An atomic (+ve) cation has the same name as the metal it was formed from. An atomic (-ve) anion has the same root as the non-metal it was formed from, but and –ide ending. Examples: Metal atom Metal cation Non-metal atom Non-metal anion Na Cl Mg O Ionic formulas are made by combining ANY cation (+ve) with any anion (-ve). The order in ANY ionic formula is cation first, anion second, in both formula and name. i.e. (cation)(anion) Examples: NaCl (sodium chloride) LiF ( ) Ionic formulas ALWAYS have a ZERO net charge – i.e. the (+) and (-) ionic charges in ANY formula cancel. If the above rule is followed, the ionic compound must exist and is probably sitting on a shelf in the chemistry stock room! Task: Construct and name as many ionic compounds as possible from the following ions: Li+ Ca2+ Al3+ Cl- O2- N3- List of Common molecular ions (must learn): See attached handout. Trick – many molecular ions appear on the data sheet (see handout). Just keep using (homework) and/or looking (fridge) at the rest Naming molecular ions: There is ONLY one molecular cation – (NH4)+, ammonium. Molecular anions with NO (or very few*) oxygen atoms in their structure have the –ide ending. Examples: -OH (hydroxide)*, CN- (cyanide) Molecular anions with 'lots' of oxygen atoms in their structure have the –ate ending. Examples: (SO4)2- (sulfate), (NO3)- (nitrate), (CO3)2- (carbonate), (PO4)3- (phosphate) Recall: Ionic formulas ALWAYS have a ZERO net charge – i.e. the ionic charges in ANY formula cancel. This is true for molecular ions too – just treat the whole molecular ion as if it were an atomic ion when making the formula. Name the resulting compound in a similar way also. Task: Construct and name as many ionic compounds as possible from the following ions: Li+ Mg2+ (NH4)+ (NO3)- (SO4)2- (PO4)3- Naming Ionic compounds containing a cation of variable charge Metallic elements from the center of the periodic table (the transition series, between groups II and III) can form atomic ions with a range of +ve charges. Examples: Fe2+ and Fe3+, Cu+ and Cu2+. Question: Can you see a potential problem with regard to writing the names and formulas of ionic compounds containing such cations? Answer: Ionic formulas featuring a variable charge (oxidation state) cation include the charge of the cation (written in Roman numerals) in the formula name. E.g.: Cu2O = Copper(I) oxide Task: Complete the following table: Name Formula Name Formula Iron (II) Sulfate Copper (I) Phosphate Cu(NO3)2 FeCl3 Acids and bases Discussion: Are acids and bases typically ionic or molecular compounds (trick question!)? What is 'special' about them and their formulas? Naming acids and bases: There are two ways of naming acids, and one way for bases: 1. Just use the standard approach for naming ionic compounds: Remember: H+ = 'hydrogen' ion, - OH = 'hydroxide' ion. Task: Name the following acids and bases using standard ionic compound nomenclature: HCl NaOH H2SO4 Ca(OH)2 HNO3 Al(OH)3 2. Using common nomenclature (chemical 'nicknames', must learn too) Rules: Acids with –ide anions (e.g. Chloride, Cl-) have a 'hydro' prefix and an '–ic' ending, followed by 'acid'. Example: HCl = Hydrochloric acid Task: name the following acids: HBr HI HCN H2S Acids with molecular '–ate' anions, such as nitrate, (NO3) -, and sulfate, (SO4) 2-, simply become '–ic acids': Example: H(NO3) = nitric acid Task: name the following acids: H2SO4 H3PO4 H2CO3 Ions in the Movies – Science fact or Science fiction? Discussion: What makes for a good sci-fi movie? Why was Star Wars 'good' and Battlestar Galactic (released at the same time) 'bad'?? 'Bad Guy' Brian Cox An ion cannon, as seen in The Empire Strikes Back has a lot in common with a computer technician's static-guard wrist strap – electrical discharges can 'fry' sensitive electronics Actual ion guns, used in surface science research and microchip manufacture. Discussion: Would a commercially available ion gun be any use for 'home defense'?? "Ionic" The following question were taken from your 1st practice midterm: Write the formulas and names of nine ionic compounds that may be formed through combining the anions and cations ions listed immediately below. H+ Cu2+ Al3+ Cl- SO42- PO43- Ionic Formula Name of Ionic Compound Appendix: Table of Common Ions (Tro) Chart of the Common Ions (Learn) +1 ions +2 +3 -3 ions -2 ions -1 ions ions ions H+ Mg2+ Al3+ N3- O2- F- Li+ Ca2+ Fe3+ S2- Cl- Na+ Sr2+ Cr3+ PO43- Br- K+ Ba2+ (phosphate) SO42- I- Au+ Cu2+ (sulfate) Ag+ Zn2+ CO32- - OH (hydroxide) Cu+ Fe2+ (carbonate) NO3- (nitrate) NH4+ Pb2+ CN- (cyanide) (ammonium) Solubility rules (will be supplied): Soluble Compounds Exceptions Insoluble Exceptions Compounds Compounds NO3- None Compounds CO32- NH4+ & group IA containing containing cations Cl- Ag+, Hg2+,Pb2+ PO43- NH4+ & group IA cations Br- Ag+, Hg2+,Pb2+ OH- group IA cations Ca2+,Sr2+, Ba2+ & NH4+ I- Ag+, Hg2+,Pb2+ SO42- Ba2+, Hg2+,Pb2+ Tricks: Group # = ion charge for metal ions, e.g. Li (group 1) = +1 -(8 –group #) = ion charge for atomic non-metal ions, e.g. O = -(8-6) = -2 Formulas for most molecular ions appear on the solubility chart (supplied in data sheet).

It was a cute pub stop, but the food wasn't great. Our waiter wasn't well acquainted with what was on tap...odd for working in a pub, and the food was really bland.
3 Days in Boston
Guide to Boston for Families
Boston in summer by foot and by water
This German restaurant has been here a long time and it's an institution. You can get American style food or German. I suggest going at dinner time to get bigger portions because the food is good.
We went to Jacob Wirth restaurant 2x!
They have fabulous traditional red cabbage, warm German potato salad & mashed potatoes!
Also loved the potato pancakes, wurst's, clam chowder & strudel!
Highly recommend for a taste of traditional German food & families!
My family and I visited Jacob Wirth last weekend before attending a show at the theater down the street. I wasn't impressed with any part of this experience. First, the day we were trying to make a reservation, their phones and OpenTable account were down so we couldn't get through. I found a contact email on their site and reached...
Chowder was recommended by a tour operator. It was pretty good. The bratwurst was also good.
If in this area of Chinatown again, I'd stop here.
Husband and I went for dinner. Service was a little slow, but the food was delicious and large portions.
My wife lived in southern Germany back in the day, so she knows from German sausage, as we would say in NYC. And she loves the sausage, sauerkraut and red cabbage (and mashed potatoes) from Jacob Wirth, as do I. Whenever we are in Boston, we make a point to stop in for a hearty satisfying German meal at Jacob...
Upon arrival, looking for a pub for lunch, our concierge recommended Jacob Wirth. Over the weekend, being near our hotel, we liked it so much we dined here twice. We found it to be a non-touristy, unpretentious, great "old school" pub with a nod to German cuisine. The food was very good. The service was great and very friendly. The...
We had dinner there ýesterday and will never ever go back, the food was disgusting, fat, greasy and the meat was uncooked and from a very old animal. The wine was OK, the Music high - good when you do not have anything to say to your friends. It is probably a Place to drink not eat.
Excellent sauerbraten, cabbage, sausages, german potato salad, saurkraut & beer. Casual and by Boston standards, entirely affordable. Unfussy and competent staffing!

I ordered cans for my rodeo and a touchup bottle for a friends jetta. I am very happy with the color match and the finish of the spray touchup. The metallic was the right color and texture and the clear topcoat gave a perfect factory finish. These are professional touchup products.
The package arrived on time but the jetta touchup bottle was not tightly closed and leaked out in shipping. Customer service shipped out a new one no questions or hassles. Overall I would rate both, their products and their customer service as excellent.
I had previously used DupliColor touch-up paint to try to deal with scratches and dings on my vehicle, but the DupliColor paint didn't match the original paint on the vehicle - even though the DuliColor code said it was a match.
AutomotiveTouchUp (ATU) paint was an excellent match to vehicle's original paint color and, finally, the scratches and dings have virtually disappeared.
Thank you ATU.

Another Flyer Suspension Likely
12/03/07 at 12:17 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Bob McKenzie of TSN,
Philadelphia Flyer forward Riley Cote is likely to be suspended for his match penalty at 17:46 of the third period in Dallas's 4-1 win over the Flyers on Saturday.
Cote delivered a high head shot against Dallas defenceman Matt Niskanen. Any player assessed a match penalty is automatically suspended pending a review by the league. It will be a shock if Cote isn't suspended by the league.

Specializing In Shootouts
12/02/07 at 08:17 PM ET | Comments (0)
from David Amber at Sports Illustrated,
They are rarely the guys leading the league in points. Some don't even see time on the power play. Others are basically fourth-line players. Still, with the game on the line, these are the players who are front and center, driving goalies nuts, scoring the deciding goals and making the highlights on "SportsCenter."
In this week's 10 Degrees, we look at the top shootout stars since the format's inception.

Habs A Fragile Team At This Point
12/02/07 at 06:06 PM ET | Comments (0)
from the CP via TSN,
The Predators outplayed Montreal for most of the game, but Huet held them off with a succession of fine saves in the first two periods and with the help of two hit goalposts.
"This was a perfect chance to get a win despite the team having a bad game," said Huet. "It is disgraceful to blow a lead like that, especially at home.
"I can't explain it."
Except that he did later, saying: "We're a fragile team. We're a little weak between the ears."
His teammates jumped to Huet's defence, saying the game could have been out of reach early if he hadn't shut the door in the first two periods.

Who's holding a "viewing party" for thousands of Buffalo Sabres fans unable to score a ticket for the Jan. 1 NHL Winter Classic in Ralph Wilson Stadium?
Will fans attending the game be able to park their campers or RVs at the stadium a day or two beforehand for a festive New Year's Eve party?
When will the ice be put down?

Is It Entertaining Us
12/02/07 at 01:55 PM ET | Comments (0)
from Wayne Fish of Philly Burbs,
Former Flyers player Mark Howe, now a scout with the Detroit Red Wings, sees about 100 NHL games per year.
He says he's sat through some real yawners these past couple seasons and yearns for the days when hockey still offered robust competition.
"I do watch a lot of games where both teams are working, both teams are playing very sound hockey, but is the game entertaining for the people who paid their money?" Howe said. "In my opinion, no.''...
"I know some teams, their goal is to block 20, 25 shots a night. You didn't see that years ago. You forechecked two guys to get pressure. I like watching Andy Murray's teams (currently St. Louis) ... they play a high-pressure game. Tampa's an entertaining team; same with Edmonton.''
Howe says you don't have to have high scoring for an entertaining game.

Published reports (definitely a phrase that doesn't carry the weight it used to) out of—where else?—Toronto and Edmonton mention Detroit as a strong landing spot for Mats Sundin, when the Leafs move him out of a sense of loyalty to their captain. The speculation goes like this: Leafs are out of it already. Sundin's been a loyal soldier. Moving him to a contender is good for him, good for them, good for the world. Sally Strothers would be proud.
And, of course, the Wings have the Swedes. The "published reports" have been posted by The Emperor and George Malik.

Players Concerned About On-Ice Respect
12/02/07 at 12:55 PM ET | Comments (0)
from Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe,
Judging by a conversation late last week with new executive director Paul Kelly, it seems the PA finally has realized the obvious. Kelly, who met Thursday with the NHL's Board of Governors in Pebble Beach, Calif., wants the union to be far more engaged in the supplemental disciplinary process. In his estimation, after meeting in recent weeks with the rank and file of 11 of the league's 30 teams, the players feel the need to increase the on-ice respect factor and do what they can to decrease, ideally eliminate, "head shots."
"There is a feeling among the players," said Kelly, "there has been a greater number of these this year than in the past - and no one has an explanation for it. Some of these are hits by guys who are considered third- or fourth-liners, and perhaps they are sent out by a coach to play a certain style, or maybe they are trying to win a job, or keep a job, and maybe they feel they have to ratchet up the aggressiveness…."

Ground rules. Obviously…we need some. Or at least we need a reminder of them. Let me quote from my soon-to-be-released manifesto, "The Difference Between The Diggers and the Wing Bloggers".
Chapter 19
"Red Wing beat writers must avoid any attempt at humor. It doesn't suit them and it embarrasses us all. If the humor is unintentional and reflects their role as propaganda artists for the organ-I-zation, that's fine. But an outright attempt to be funny? Absolutely prohibited."

Someone asked winger Daniel Alfredsson if this losing streak is getting serious.
"It's always serious," snapped the captain. "It's professional sports. If you don't win, you suck."

Radical Changes
12/02/07 at 12:02 PM ET | Comments (0)
from Bucky Gleason of the Buffalo News,
Scoring has increased since the year before the lockout, but it's down from the first season afterward. Sabres coach Lindy Ruff, among the more progressive thinkers in the game, has suggested the ultimate answer would be four-on-four. Easy, Lindy. Before going radical, let's examine five other options.
No Parole, No Icing: Players committing penalties should be given the full two minutes whether or not the opposition scores on the ensuing power play. Plus, penalty killers would not be allowed to ice the puck.

Release Date:
May 5, 2009
Ziggy Marley has switched directions for his third solo album, Family Time, but then again, not really. First off, it's a children's album, and a delightful one, and while he has always been an advocate for children's rights (he is the founder of U.R.G.E., a nonprofit organization that supports charitable children's causes in Jamaica, Ethiopia, and other parts of the world) and has contributed both his voice and songs to various children's programming, this is the first time Marley has done a full children's album. That said, the bright Jamaican rhythms and joyous vocals on display here aren't any different than what he has been doing all along, and children's songs or not, this is a wonderful roots release and is far from age-specific. Co-produced by Marley and Don Was, Family Time has a host of guest stars, including Rita Marley (Ziggy's mother), Cedella Marley (his sister), Judah Marley (his daughter), Paul Simon, Jack Johnson, Willie Nelson, Toots Hibbert (of Toots the Maytals), Elizabeth Mitchell, Laurie Berkner, and Paula Fuga, and the album closes with two stories narrated by Jamie Lee Curtis, but even so, this is Marley's show, and his warm vocals make everything else possible. Highlights include the impressive "Cry, Cry, Cry," a fun re-imaging of "This Train," and an it-just-makes-you-smile version of the island traditional "Hold Him Joe," but all of the songs have a like sort of sunny charm. The two stories narrated by Curtis that close things kind of break the musical mood a bit, but that's a minor complaint for an album that is so much fun, so positive, and just so darn delightful.

text: Egypt EgyptMiddle East News Desk on Jan 28, 2011 @ 6:47 AMJan 28, 2011 @ 6:47 AM Last Updated Jan 27, 2011 @ 9:14 PM PublishedEgypt: Internet cut ahead of Friday protestsEgypt cut off the country's internet service in what looks like an attempt to disrupt plans for massive new protests on Friday.The government also sent out an elite special operations force to take up position in strategic places around Cairo like Tahir Square, which saw some of the biggest protests on Jan. 25.Cutting off the internet threatens to weaken an opposition that began with no leaders but built its strength in numbers thanks to online organizing. The protesters have used new media tools to rally those angry with President Hosni Mubarak's authoritarian regime.The government quickly recognized this and began blocking access to social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter Wednesday, disrupting cell phone text messaging and BlackBerry Messenger services and then completely shutting down the internet. About 25 percent of Egypt's population uses the internet, according to BBC News.The Burmese government similarly shut down its internet during massive nationwide protests organized by monks in 2007.Meanwhile, Nobel laureate and opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei returned to Egypt Thursday and vowed to support the protests and become the transitional leader if necessary."I wish that we didn't have to go to the streets to impress on the regime that they need to change," ElBaradei told reporters after arriving in Cairo. "There is no going back. I hope the regime stops the violence, stops detaining people, stops torturing people."Egyptians differ on their view of ElBaradei, who had been living in Vienna."ElBaradei, the former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency who has sought to refashion himself as pro-democracy campaigner in his homeland, is viewed by some supporters as capable of uniting the country's fractious opposition and offering an alternative to Mr. Mubarak's authoritarian rule. Critics view him as an opportunist who has spent too little time in the country to take control of a movement which began without his leadership," states The New York Times.He will also be in Egypt in time for Friday's protests, which are expected to be huge. The Muslim Brotherhood plans on joining the protests. They will take place after the Friday prayers.The government claims to have arrested 800 people, but some human rights groups say the number is closer to 2,000. Human Rights Watch demanded in a statement that Egyptian authorities only use force when necessary at the Jan. 28 protests."The Egyptian authorities should allow protesters to exercise their right to assemble and protest peacefully," according to Joe Stork at Human Rights Watch. "Instead, protesters have met with exactly the kind of heavy-handed abuse and repression that people are protesting against."Listen to this shocking audio of a Guardian journalist being arrested and beaten by police.See these striking photographs of the protests.Here is a GlobalPost primer on the recent unrest across the Middle East and North Africa.Read this GlobalPost dispatch on the roots of the protests in Egypt.Watch this raw footage from AP showing a man being shot by Egyptian authorities: Follow GlobalPost on Twitter: @GlobalPost

All loyal so you keep eggin' me on
And we gonna have to crack a shell just to prove to you, you ain't hard boiled
Last night I tried some raw oysters
from Drake – Draft Day Lyrics on Genius
Drizzy engages in some food-related wordplay here. The "eggin' me on" idiom sets up a line where the rapper talks that breakfast talk to show his unnamed opponent that, if you mess with Drake, your hard exterior won't hold up and your soft side will definitely show. Note the implication of shotgun shells here as well
"Hardboiled" is also a genre of crime books and movies known for their strong violence. The "hardboiled" character is one who considers himself particularly tough, and behaves like he's immune to violence and danger (like a hard-boiled egg which, if dropped, won't break). Hardboiled stories almost always involve organised crime, which fits Drake's assertion in the previous line that he has a group of friends willing to take any fall for him.
The oysters in the next line continue the "crack a shell" theme, but also serve as a measure of his wealth (they're hella expensive!) and romantic prowess (oysters are a well-known aphrodisiac)
To help improve the quality of the lyrics, visit Drake – Draft Day Lyrics and leave a suggestion at the bottom of the page

Barbra Streisand Releases Statement on Passing of Lauren Bacall
Yesterday, BWW reported the sad news that fllm and stage legend and two-time Tony Award winnerLauren Bacall, passed away at the age of 89.
Today, Barbara Streisand, who worked with Bacall in The Mirror Has Two Face, released the following statement:
"What a terrible loss for us all. First Robin, who was a genius, and now Lauren. It was my privilege to have known her, to have acted with her, and to have directed her. And, most of all, to have had her as a wise and loving friend. She was an original. Even with those great films we can visit again and again, she will be missed."
Bacall's work on Broadway included Goodbye, Charlie (1959), Cactus Flower (1965), Applause (1970) and Woman of the Year (1981). She won Tony Awards for her performances in the latter two. For her work in the Chicago theatre, Bacall won the Sarah Siddons Award in 1972 and again in 1984.
Click here to see video highlights from her career.
Her performance in the movie The Mirror Has Two Faces opposite Barbra Streisand (1996) earned her a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination. In 2009, she was selected by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to receive an Academy Honorary Award "in recognition of her central place in the Golden Age of motion pictures." Her movie career also included such high-profile projects as Dogville (2003) and Birth (2004), both with Nicole Kidman. She was also one of the leading actors in Paul Schrader's 2007 movie The Walker.
In September 2006, Bacall was awarded the first Katharine Hepburn Medal, which recognizes "women whose lives, work and contributions embody the intelligence, drive and independence of the four-time-Oscar-winning actress", by Bryn Mawr College's Katharine Houghton Hepburn Center.
Bacall received the Kennedy Center Honors in 1997. In 1999, she was voted one of the 25 most significant female movie stars in history by the American Film Institute.

from Wiktionary, Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License
- proper n. VC
From the US military phonetic spelling alphabet for VC, which in turn is an abbreviation of Vietcong, which is a diminutive of the Vietnamese language term for Vietnamese Communist (Wiktionary)
Victor Charlie wanted to give me an early retirement, but I had other plans.
When I came in, I had superior officers who told me that in Vietnam, they dealt with their worst druggies by making them "permanent point-men" .... and Mr Charles or Victor Charlie did the rest in time ....
It was the pits, that is, the center of the track, at the Bristol Motor Speedway, Bristol, Tennessee, and what towered above wasn't mountains full of Victor Charlie, but the enveloping cup of the speedway itself, a near vertical wall of seats for one hundred fifty thousand or so fans.
One villager laughed and shouted in English that Victor Charlie's Marine radio slang for Viet Cong in charge here now.
