Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Consequence Management Advisory Team
The Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Consequence Management Advisory Team (CBRN CMAT), located in five geographic locations, provides 24/7 scientific and technical expertise to the On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) or response customer for all phases of consequence management, including sampling, decontamination, and clearance. With a focus on operational preparedness, CBRN CMAT facilitates the transition of the latest science and technology to the field response community in order to provide tactical options for screening, sampling, monitoring, decontamination, clearance, waste management, and toxicological/exposure assessment during the decontamination of buildings or other structures in the event of an incident involving releases of radiological, biological, or chemical contaminants. CMAT maintains critical partnerships with EPA's National Homeland Security Research Center and EPA's special teams, as well as other federal partners including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Defense (DOD), and Centers for Disease Control (CDC)/Health and Human Services (HHS), as well as international partners.

2012 CMAT Annual Report (PDF) (44 pp, 3.1MB)
EPA/CDC Interim Clearance Strategy for Environments Contaminated with Anthrax (PDF) (9 pp, 367K): EPA and CDC have developed an interim clearance strategy to aid Incident Command/Unified Command (IC/UC) in clearing a building or an outdoor environment after an incident involving contamination with Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis). The strategy is based on the best available science and most practical approach, and is intended for use by public health and environmental Federal responders supporting the IC/UC responding to a B. anthracis incident.
Bio-response Operational Testing and Evaluation (BOTE): The BOTE project is the first of its kind to bring the EPA research and operational responders together, with the interagency community, to conduct a fully functional, realistic study and exercise on consequence management after a Homeland Security event. Through the collection and analysis of 3,500 samples and the decontamination of the 90,000 cubic foot facility, EPA and DHS are now better prepared for an actual incident through improved technical and scientific knowledge as well as better coordinated understanding of roles and responsibilities of each participating entity. For study and exercise findings, please contact CMAT directly at 202-431-3146.

Billerica High gets pumped up 'Gangnam Style'
Posted: 11/21/12 at 6:30 pm
Tags: Billerica High School PSY pep rally Gangnam Style
BILLERICA, Mass. (WHDH) -- Watch out YouTube! Here comes Billerica High, 'Gangnam Style!'
"The whole beat of the song. The kids I babysit for can sing the whole thing and it's in Korean," said Christine Piacenza, who planned the music video.
A physics teacher who graduated from Billerica High School six years ago starred in the video. Others were asked, but he's the one who said yes.
"I have seen the video before, but I never thought I'd be portraying this person," said Jeff Beckford, a physics teacher at Billerica High School.
The original from Korean pop star PSY is now a worldwide sensation. Now, Mr. Beckford gets his time in the spotlight.
"I think it was fabulous. He nailed it. And that's the only take we took," said Shawn Landry, a media class teacher.
"I was just shaking. I was really nervous, but I'm really glad that it turned out the way that it did," said Beckford.
The whole school was there in the gym for the pep rally and video shoot. A senior was running the camera.
"It was just like a fantastic way to bring the school together. I think all the administration worked really well together, all the kids were pumped to be doing this type of stuff," said John-Michael Ponte.
Billerica hasn't beaten Chelmsford in a Thanksgiving football game for years, but perhaps this rally was the right amount of pep for a big win.

Ist time trying this
By Barb
from Durham,Ontario
Love the smell. Beautiful rich cream goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly. I've never liked creams, always preferred lotions but this body soufflé is wonderful.
Nicer than the hand cream
By ONLINE SHOPPER
from Oakville, ONtario
I bought this product at the same time as the hand cream. I prefer this product!! The scent is still too strong for me but seems less sweet than the hand cream. Also the product lasts a little better - perhaps better quality ingredients? Nice body lotion!
By Tina
from Victoria, BC
I never deviated from Josie Maran's whipped body butters with argan oil until I discovered this. Wow! Pure luxury. I apply it on moist skin just after a shower or bath and it is instantly absorbed into the skin. Leaves no film or residue. It also smells devine but the smell is soft and does not linger. I HIGHLY recommed this as a MUST HAVE for all seasons of the year. It stopped the itchy winter skin for me!

I had to wait for quite a while for this product to be available, and I must say I haven't been disappointed.It smells and feels amazing and definitely works.Please make sure that it's in stock! :)
Really Nice
By Linda
from Bowmanville
I love all the Ojon products, the shampoos are excellent, so when they came out with the Ojon Full Moisture Creme, I knew it would deliver. I actually like the smell, like the rainforest.
Love this product!
By Stormy
from OTTAWA
I love this product, the jar it comes in and the smell! I have ordered this many times along with the handcream (which does come in a tube for those who insist upon it). I, myself, prefer the jar for the bodycream as it's very handy for application all over the body, whereas, the hand cream being in a tube is good for the hands and throwing into a purse. Love them both!
By Sandi
from Newmarket
Love this product. It does exactly what it claims! Moisturizes the skin and lasts a long time.Bought it for the first time the last time Ojon was at TSC based on the great reviews and it has become not only my fave but my daughters as well.Another great product from Ojon.P.S. We find the scent awesome!

Yes and No
By Ruthless
from Victoria
As a moisturizer this stuff is great. Absorbs easily and the scent lingers. However there is no need for a jar with the formula you'd be better off with a tube so a star gets deducted for that.About the scent-it's Ojon hair treatment meets pinesol. It took me 3 days to figure out if I liked it or not, and I do so I am keeping it. It's VERY strong, and lasts a long time on the skin. It is not similar to Tawaka or Batana at all, there is none of the chocolate or smoky notes in those two much missed lines. If you are hoping for something similar you will be disappointed with this.
I love this product!!!!
By NORMA
from TORONTO
This is a great body cream... thick and luxurious ..a little goes a long way.I am not usually a fan of scented beauty products but I love this one. While it is quite strong it seems to be vanlla with some lemon.

Accessible Train Station Design for Disabled People: A Code of Practice
Version 2 - valid from 1 September 2010
- Author:
- Department for Transport (DfT) and Transport Scotland
The purpose of this Code of Practice is to assist those operating passenger trains and stations in making railway travel easier for disabled passengers.
It identifies relevant standards for all passenger train and station operators in Great Britain that licensed operators must follow whenever they install, renew, or replace infrastructure or facilities. The Code also provides advice and recommendations of good practice that all operators can implement in order to provide greater opportunity to travel for disabled people using the railways.
There are over 10 million people in Great Britain with a disability and the Government is committed to providing transport for all. Improving the accessibility of railway stations as well as their services will encourage more disabled people to use the railway network and to do so more regularly.
New for this edition:
British Standard BS 8300 references, diagrams and text have been updated throughout to reflect the new BS 8300:2009: Design of buildings and their approaches to meet the needs of disabled people code of practice.

Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has been fined $131,500 for two incidents this season. (Daniel Mears / Detroit News)
Allen Park � Ndamukong Suh is considering accepting the NFL�s offer to meet with its discipline committee.
�I don�t know yet,� Suh said Wednesday. �I�ve had brief discussions with my agent and general manager, but for now I am just focused on Dallas and not concerning myself with that just yet � not until the bye week.�
Suh has been fined $131,500 for two incidents this season. He�s been fined $209,000 in his career, not counting salary lost for the two-game suspension in 2011.
He last met with NFL officials during the bye week in 2011, before he stomped Packers offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith during the Thanksgiving Day game that earned him the suspension. He was asked what he got out of that first meeting.
�Just an understanding of what they were looking for and how they needed me to change aspects of my game,� he said. �I felt like I understood and have made progress toward that. I feel like I�m playing within the rules for the most part, without a doubt.�
Since that suspension, he has two personal foul penalties in 25 games.
After fining Suh $31,500 for a post-throw hit on Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden two weeks ago, NFL vice president of operations Merton Hanks told the NFL Network, �The fine amount is more than the minimum because he is a repeat offender, and I want to get Ndamukong Suh�s attention in this regard. I�ve got to help him course correct.�
Suh said he has yet to figure out how league officials determine who to fine and how much.
�I am just trying to mind my Ps and Qs and do things to help my team win,� he said. �Obviously I didn�t do enough to help our defense get the ball back for our offense last week.�
The Lions bye week is next week.
No workouts
New Lions offensive tackle Barry Richardson didn�t play the workout game. Most unsigned free agents will spend their Tuesdays crisscrossing the country working out for various teams.
Not Richardson. He felt like after five seasons and 49 starts, teams still had plenty of fresh tape on him.
�I was just in Arizona working out with LeCharles Bentley,� he said, referring to the noted offensive line coach and trainer. �I knew I would get an opportunity. I was fresh out of the game. Just last year I was starting. It wasn�t like I was coming off injury or had been out of the game. All I needed was an opportunity.�
The Lions will provide that.
Both starting tackles were injured last week against Cincinnati � left tackle Riley Reiff (hamstring) did finish the game and could be ready to play Sunday; right tackle Corey Hilliard (knee) could be out a couple of weeks. Reiff did not practice Wednesday.
Richardson, who started 16 games for the Rams last season and was a starter four seasons for the Chiefs, believes he will be able to contribute Sunday if needed.
�It won�t take long to get up to speed,� he said. �It�s whether they need me or not.�
Old friends
Receiver Kevin Ogletree played parts of four seasons with the Cowboys and caught 53 passes for 663 yards from quarterback Tony Romo. Only 11 players have caught more of Romo�s throws.
�It�s going to be fun,� he said of facing his former team. �I still have friends over there. There�s no love lost, but when Sunday comes, no one is a friend in the other color.�
Ogletree said his parting from Dallas was without acrimony.
�It wasn�t a situation where I was cut or let go,� he said. �My time was up and I found another gig.�
Injury report
Offensive tackle Jason Fox, who has played parts of two games because of groin and knee injuries, was at practice Wednesday.
�I think he�s getting better every day, like a lot of our other guys,� coach Jim Schwartz said. �It�s too early to be discouraged, encouraged or anything else. We�ll just take each day as it comes and make a good decision at the end of the week.�
Fox and rookie LaAdrian Waddle worked with the first offense in the early portion of practice open to the media. Fox worked on the left side.
� Receiver Calvin Johnson (knee), defensive tackle Andre Fluellen (head) and safety Louis Delmas (knee) did not practice. Cornerback Rashean Mathis (groin) was limited.

My name is Amy [removed]. I am a[n] [removed] English teacher in the public school system in Yeosu. I am emailing you to inform you of a situation that has happened in the last few weeks. My boyfriend is an African-American and has been applying for the last few months to join me in Yeosu in the public school system. A few weeks ago, my recruiter came down to Yeosu from Seoul to negotiate with the Yeosu Board of Education to have my boyfriend hired. Apparently, negotiation was necessary because the new head of the Board decided she does not want to hire blacks or asian English teachers. My recruiter told me she bluntly said she wants only caucasian teachers.
I received the email as well, but in the absence of any proof I decided to not print it at the time. It's intereesting, though, to read the comments from others purporting to be in Yeosu, alleging the same thing. Here are a few:
In my two years living and teaching in Yeosu, I heard countless stories of foreign teachers being mistreated, and this by far is the most disturbing and impossible to understand. The Yeosu Board of Education needs to wake up and realize that diversity within the foreign teacher community is an asset to their students as well as to the overall community.
. . .
My name is Tess. I'm also from Yeosu. This is not the only case of racial descrimination in Yeosu public schools. I know of two other African American teachers in Yeosu who are facing challenges because of race and an Asian American who couldn't get a job here at all. Apparently, skin color and teaching ability are directly connected in some way, with no regard for education, ability, or even proof of both in the form of a resume.
. . .
I am an African American female teacher in Yeosu since August 2009. I applied for this job with two male friends. Two of us got jobs and one of us did not. During the application process, we were told to get our photos retaken because we looked "too dark" not sure if this was racial but we obliged. I could not get accepted to the school until I sent in a picture with a smile and makeup on, hmmm... My other friend was told not to wear his gold chain in the picture as well. It was a very simple chain with a cross at the bottom but I guess it looked bad in the picture??
Anyway, we were working very closely with our recruiter trying to get our friend a position. Other people kept getting jobs ahead of him and at first we didn't understand. Then after speaking with a few people I learned the same information Amy is speaking about.
And from Amy, the woman who sent the original email:
Yeosu is a very nice city and has already established a multi-cultural and multi-racial community of foreign English teachers and there has not been any problems. I'd also like to say that Yeosu is holding an International Expo in 2012 and this doesn't seem to coincide with their hopes of becoming an internationally known welcoming city.

Portia de Rossi is perfectly content being a TV Netflix mom.
Off-screen, however, babies just aren't in the cards for the "Arrested Development" star and her talk show host wife of nearly five years, Ellen DeGeneres.
"There comes some pressure in your mid-30s, and you think, 'Am I going to have kids so I don't miss out on something that other people really seem to love? Or is it that I really genuinely want to do this with my whole heart?' " de Rossi told OUT magazine.
"I didn't feel that my response was 'yes' to the latter," she continued. "You have to really want to have kids, and neither of us did. So it's just going to be me and Ellen and no babies - but we're the best of friends and married life is blissful, it really is. I've never been happier than I am right now."
De Rossi is currently gearing up for "Arrested Development's" fourth season, to premiere on Netflix May 26.
She plays Lindsay Bluth Fünke, mom to daughter Maeby, on the series that aired on Fox from 2003 to 2006.
"Some of the funniest stuff I have ever seen in my whole life is in this new season," she teases.

"Perfect location"
Hotel was great because we were 3 people and we got a triple room. It is in a perfect location to every place that you want to go, nothing is more than a 10 minute walk. The hotel is configured a little weird, but the rooms were great and free breakfast is a great addition too!تعليق أصلي من أحد نزلاء Hotels.com

Very centrally located on Dam Square! Walking distance to everything! The staff was more than king and answered all my questions and was very knowledgeable of the surroundings. The breakfast was very good and filling. The furnishings in my room was regular hotel fare but I wasn't in it for long with all the sights to see!

I've stayed at Rho Hotel twice now and have found it a convenient and relatively well-priced hotel. The service has been good.

Could not fault this hotel, location was right next to Dam square, staff were friendly and helpful.

We were only in Amsterdam for 1 night, so wanted something central so we could get about easily and not waste time commuting. The RHO Hotel is so centrally located, and easy to find that we were wondering if we had booked something dodgy as we got a great deal on the price. The hotel staff were friendly, the rooms spacious and clean, and for a one night […] stay, perfect. Breakfast was included, and had a great selection. Only down side was the wifi, whilst free just could not connect, and being so centrally located was noisy at night, but all in all, would highly recommend for a short visit. قراءة المزيدتعليق أصلي من أحد نزلاء Hotels.com

"Location, Location, Location!!!"
The Rho Hotel suits the need of the visitor to Amsterdam who will not necessarily be spending too much time indoors. The rooms are clean, beds are comfortable and there is wifi which meets most of the needs of the get up and go traveller. It is a 6 minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal station and is located just off the edge of Dam Square, for those […] who know the area. The location of the hotel is perfect for getting just about anywhere in the city, diamond district, museum-plain, red light area, Vondel Park along with all the tourist sights. It's location is its main selling point. The hotel does not do room service and the room fridges are empty so you can keep your own supply of cold drinks and snacks handy. The absolute bonus is the inclusive buffet breakfast which caters for healthy and less so eaters. I have stayed at this hotel 3 times now and have absolutely no complaints. The front desk staff are multi-lingual and very helpful. If you want luxury (and the expense) then this is not the hotel for you. However if you require a clean room and bed with tv and wifi, a hearty breakfast and the ability to get just about anywhere in Centraal easily then this is the place for you. قراءة المزيدتعليق أصلي من أحد نزلاء Expedia

"Good hotel, but ask questions"
The hotel staff let us check into our room at 9:30 AM and gave us the room that we had requested. Unfortunately, it turns out we asked for a room that is not air-conditioned, though some rooms apparently are. So, we had to put a table fan in the doorway to draw in some cool air from the hallway, which IS air-conditioned. We happened to be in Amsterdam […] on the hottest days of the year, and the table fan was not nearly enough. The bath accessories (shampoo and body soap) were in small packets which are very difficult to open in the shower, which did not have a shower curtain. Water from the shower very easily gets all over the bathroom floor. The hotel provides a great breakfast with a good selection of pastry and juices and breads. قراءة المزيدتعليق أصلي من أحد نزلاء Expedia

I only had one night here unfortunately but will definitely book again next time I'm in Amsterdam. It was easy to get to from Centraal station, very centrally located (Dam square), near great shopping and many tourist attractions. The staff were very friendly and courteous and pointed me in the right direction. The room (single) was spacious enough […] for one, very clean, and had a tv and refrigerator. Although on the 4th floor, there is an elevator. I wasn't planning on staying for breakfast (early flight to catch) but when I saw the selection of pancakes, eggs etc I ended up eating.

"Perfect Location and very clean"
I have been to Amsterdam and other areas of Europe before and had stayed in several hotels that were 4 star. One thing i have learned is the number of stars has no bearing on quality in Europe. The other hotels i have stayed at and paid a lot more for were consistantly musty and dingy like. This hotel has character and is very clean. Hands down it has […] the best free breakfast in the world. The employees work very had at breakfast to ensure everything is constantly replenished to ensure perfect service and a relaxing start to your day (A ton/variety of Food). The front desk staff were also extremely accomidating due to our early arrival time. The location is the absolute best in the city hands down no question about it. My wife and I went to the Van Gough Museum, Anne Frank house, Red light district, Ice Bar, etc.... and were able to walk to each place no problem which saves you a lot of money on transportation.

"Dramatic entrance, great location, friendly staff."
Just a short walk from the central station, the sign 'Rho Hotel' is visible from across Dam Square making it very easy to find. Our meeting with the desk staff was memorably welcoming and they continued to be attentive to our needs and requests, always thinking of a practical solution to any problem and making our stay as comfortable as possible. When […] they promised a room upgrade, clean towels, a safe installed [our new room did not have one for some reason] it always happened as they said it would. This has not been the case in some other hotels and was a delightful surprise. Breakfast was consistently good and generous enough to keep us happy through our wanderings around fascinating nearby areas. Nes is a narrow old street with many good restaurants and interesting galleries, making the location perfect for our needs. Our stay unfortunately coincided with dreadful weather, cold and very wet, but the warmth and professionalism of the hotel staff really helped to make our stay thoroughly enjoyable.

Dam square has become a tourist trap area with a ferris wheel and carnival look (it wasn't like that 7 years ago). But it still is worth being close to it.

T J Wyatt is an associate scientist with the International Crop Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, based in Niamey, Niger. He received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Davis in agricultural economics in 1998. His dissertation, Investment in Erosion Control by Malagasy Farmers of the Hautes Terres, was the result of seven months of field work in Madagascar. Wyatt grew up on his family's ranch in Wyoming, USA. Following his BA from the University of Wyoming in 1985 in the area of International Studies, he worked in Mauritania as an agricultural extension agent with the Peace Corps.
Title: "Poverty and degradation: What is the real linkage? Evidence from Madagascar and the Sahel. Co-author: Niek van Duivenbooden
Theme: 3B
Poverty and resource degradation have long been linked in the minds of policy makers and researchers. Indeed, the linkage seems almost too obvious to be questioned. Low-income households overuse resources in an attempt to improve their living standards and, in the process, reduce their ability to meet future needs. Resource economics, however, theorizes that households maximize net revenue over some time horizon and consider the impact of immediate resource use on future benefits. Poor households, like their wealthier neighbors, can be expected to engage in resource conservation. This result may not hold, however, if credit is constrained and conservation requires substantial investment.
To test these hypotheses, two studies are presented. The first examines the decision of farmers in the highlands of Madagascar to terrace hillside fields to control soil erosion. Analysis finds that income is negatively related to the construction of terraces implying that poor households are more likely to engage in soil conservation. The second study utilizes programming models to examine the use of chemical fertilizers to maintain soil fertility in the West African Sahel. Results indicate that fertilizer use is not economical given transport costs and the low value of the output. It is not constrained by poverty.

thank you, i need this because the stanard one is so boring
You need to decrypt themes, so they are usable with p3t.edat extensions. Themes for sale are protected.
When you get themes as part of some other package, like in games, then you get .p3t extension and these themes are usable as they are for everyone. Not encrypted.
Soon I will post another theme package.
