Douglassville Disposal
In autumn of 1995 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will begin on-site incineration activities at the Douglassville Disposal Site. EPA has asked USACE to oversee the incineration at the site. This assumes that a reasonable schedule can be maintained.
Incineration is a process to clean up hazardous wastes. Incineration burns waste in a controlled, enclosed chamber. The smokeless and odorless procedure destroys organic compounds and reduces the amount of waste. The timeline below shows the approximate schedule for starting and completing the upcoming incineration activities for the Douglassville Disposal Site. It is possible that this timeline will change as site activities progress.
- U.S. EPA and USACE sign an Interagency Agreement allowing USACE to oversee site work.
- USACE advertises a request for proposals from contractors to perform incineration.
- USACE awards the incineration contract.
- The contractor begins incineration work at the Douglassville Disposal Site.
EPA recently conducted interviews in Douglassville to inform the community of upcoming site activities and to get a better understanding of community needs and concerns. EPA interviewed people who responded to a November 1994 fact sheet about the site. EPA also randomly selected some Douglassville residents to talk to (from our mailing list) and interviewed local officials from the Union and Amity Township offices. EPA found that much of the Douglassville community expressed similar concerns and asked the same types of questions. Below are several questions that members of the Douglassville community asked during the interviews. Each question is followed by a response from EPA.
Q: Will wastes from other hazardous sites be brought to Douglassville to be incinerated?
A: The only wastes to be incinerated at the Douglassville Disposal Site are the wastes that exist on site. Once all wastes from the site are incinerated, the project will be completed and the incinerator will be removed from the site.
Q: Where is the money coming from to clean up the site?
A: Initially, all funds for Douglassville site clean-up activities will come from the Federal Superfund program. Superfund is funded by a tax on the petroleum and chemical industries. EPA uses these funds to develop plans and carry out clean-up activities at hazardous waste sites.
EPA will attempt to recover costs that were spent on site clean-up activities from Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) for the Douglassville Disposal Site. PRPs are businesses or individuals who are responsible for the contamination at a site.
Q: Will the upcoming incineration cause any changes in local zoning ordinances? If EPA places the incinerator at the site, can other incinerators be placed in Douglassville for other purposes?
A: Superfund, enacted in 1980, gives EPA the authority and resources to respond to hazardous releases that could endanger human health or the environment. The Superfund act supersedes local ordinances or laws, thus allowing EPA to place an incinerator at the site to clean up hazardous wastes. The incinerator at the Douglassville Disposal Site is being used only to dispose of contamination at the site. Once the cleanup is complete, the incinerator will be dismantled and removed from the site. Putting the incinerator at the site will not change any existing zoning ordinances, a fact that was confirmed by the Union Township Solicitor.
Q: How will the Douglassville Disposal Site affect property values?
A: Obviously, a hazardous waste site near your home or property is not an ideal situation and does not benefit the value of your property. Cleaning up a site is one way of improving the situation and is much better than leaving the site in its current hazardous state. EPA has seen many instances where property values have risen to new levels after a site has been cleaned up. People interested in purchasing property near a hazardous waste site are more likely to do so if that site has been or is in the process of being cleaned up.
Q: Is EPA connected to any local businesses or enterprises?
A: EPA does not have any connections or business relationships with local businesses. EPA is a Federal Government agency whose only reason for visiting the Douglassville community is to clean up the Douglassville Disposal Superfund Site.
Q: How will EPA interact with local emergency services if an emergency should occur at the site?
A: Before beginning work at the site, the contractor hired by USACE prepares an Emergency Response Plan. This plan outlines the necessary steps and actions in case of an emergency. All groups involved in site activities will meet with local emergency management officials to establish guidelines to follow in an emergency. Also in these meetings, local officials are informed of who is working at the site, what type of work is being performed, what type of emergencies they can expect, and who is responsible for any emergencies at the site. EPA has done this type of coordination with local emergency management officials in the past for work previously done at the site. Local officials will be aware of what to expect and what their responsibilities are in case an emergency should occur.
What is Community Involvement?
EPA uses community involvement activities to communicate with the public. EPA assigns a Community Involvement Facilitator to each Superfund site to help keep the public aware of and involved with site activities. Larry Brown is the EPA Community Involvement Facilitator for the Douglassville Disposal Site. EPA maintains its community activities by conducting interviews and holding public meetings or workshops.
EPA encourages the public to participate in the clean-up process at Superfund sites. One way to do this is to establish information centers for each site. Information such as fact sheets and the Administrative Record are available there for the public. A fact sheet is a short, usually two to four page summary describing site activities (such as this newsletter). The Administrative Record is a collection of documents that EPA used to develop different ways to clean up a site. If you are interested in reviewing this information about the Douglassville Disposal Site, you can visit the information center located at:
Union Township Municipal Building
177 Center Road
Douglassville, PA 19518
Contact: Lori Burkhart, Secretary
8:00 - 11:30 am
12:30 - 4:30 pm
Monday through Friday
For additional information, or if you have any questions, please write to Larry, or telephone him at:
Larry Brown
U.S. EPA Region III (3EA30)
Community Involvement Facilitator
1650 Arch St.
Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029
EPA is considering holding a workshop in Douglassville about incineration. The workshop would cover such topics as what incineration is, how it works, and how the incineration at the Douglassville Disposal Site will affect you. If you think that you might be interested in attending such a workshop, please write or call Larry at the address listed above.

|The Game Story:
|Ten different Belmont Abbey players scored goals, five of whom scored twice, as the Crusaders men's lacrosse team picked up its first Conference Carolinas victory with a 15-6 win over the visiting Lees-McRae Bobcats this afternoon at Alumni Field. The win ups the Abbey's record to 3-5 overall and 1-1 in Conference Carolinas, while the Bobcats fall to 1-8 overall and 0-3 in league play.
The Abbey, which outshot Lees-McRae 57-15, received two goals from Tanner Scharr, Jared Shickles, Joey McGinley, Jarrett Bergin and Corey Cooke. Dan Morrissey, Ryan Corrigan, Scotty Steele, Brendan Rogers and Gregg Medici all had one. Morrisey had two assists, as did Josiah Nash. Corrigan, Rogers and Steele each had one.
Scharr scored the first goal of the contest at the 10:14 mark and after Lees-McRae tied the game just under two minutes later, The Abbey closed out the first quarter with three unanswered goals to lead 4-1 after one.
The Bobcats scored the first and last goals of the second quarter, but the Abbey had four of its own between those, two coming from Cooke, as the lead grew to 8-2 at the half.
Belmont Abbey started the second half strong, scoring three goals on nine shots to build its lead to 11-4. The fourth quarter saw Shickles score both of his goals, the first of the quarter and the Abbey's last, as the Crusaders totaled four in the period to cement a 15-6 victory.
Every available Crusader saw action as the defense caused 21 turnovers, six coming from Connor Doyle, while Medici and Jon Wolcott had three. Shickles, Nash and Kevin Costa each had a pair.
The Crusaders won the ground ball battle 47-41 as Shickles's nine led all players. He also won nine face-offs. Goalkeeper Brett Lawless made just two saves in the first 45 minutes before giving way to J.J. Rowan, who stopped one shot and scooped up three ground balls

We've already reported that the Blizzard Authenticator is sold out, but here's another twist to the story. WoW Insider reader Ryan told us that he placed his order last Monday, before the sell out was announced.
However, instead of getting his Authenticator, he instead got an unexplained refund. With no other word from Blizzard, they simply canceled the order and refunded the money. He talked to a coworker who had also ordered the Authenticator and found that he had the same experience. As of yet, Blizzard has not explained the refund to him.
It's likely that Ryan was simply unlucky enough to place his order after they'd sold out but before they'd officially announced it, but there's other somewhat unfortunate implications. If they're refunding his order instead of honoring it, it suggests that they don't expect to have any new Authenticators ready for quite some time.
In short, Blizzard really did vastly underestimate just how popular these authenticators would be. Not only were they unable to deliver as many as needed, but many areas, including most of the non-US world, were unable to order them. With these unexplained refunds, and no announced ETA for the Authenticator to become available again, it seems like Blizzard really has been blindsided, and may still be scrambling to get on top of this glut of demand.
It seems strange that they really didn't understand how popular this world be. Almost every day, a new glut of key logger posts from stolen accounts show up on the official forums, as hackers and gold sellers work overtime to steal new revenue sources. Everyone seems to know someone who's been hacked. No matter who you are or how you play, you're vulnerable. Even if you aren't hacked directly, you may still feel the sting if a fellow guild member gets hacked and your guild bank gets cleaned out. With that type of craziness going on, it's no wonder more people are looking for more ways to keep their accounts safe.
Perhaps this is just another example of what Rob Pardo said at the Paris GDC: Blizzard approached the MMO game rather naively. This naivete may be what keeps them from providing the security their customers need. Of course, they aren't under any obligation to provide more extreme measures like the Authenticator per se, but they understand very well that the things account stealers do damage the game as a whole. In that case, it seems like they should have been more prepared for this.
Hopefully, Blizzard can recover from this setback quickly, and get back on track for selling more Authenticators and making them available to players everywhere. While it's good to see Blizzard help players take action against account theft, it only works if the help is consistent, universal, and readily available.

moreRevenge is like any other religion: There's always a lot more preaching than there is practicing. And most of that preaching is about what not to practice.
"Vengeance is mine" translates to: "It's not yours." The karma-peddlers will tell you how doing nothing is doing the right thing, reciting, "What goes around comes around," in that heavy-gravity tone reserved for the kind of ancient wisdom you find in comic books.
Every TV "counselor," every self-help expert, every latte-slurping guru . . . they all chant some version of the same mantra: "Revenge never solves anything."
Their favorite psalm is Forgiveness. And their hymn books are always open to the same page.
Get it? When you crawl away, you're not being a punk; you're just letting the cosmos handle your business. Whoever hurt you, they'll get theirs, don't worry. Just have a little faith.
Down here, we see it different. We don't count on karma. And you can count on this: hurt one of us, we're all coming for you.
A low-level maggot once got a little taste of power and overdosed on it. He murdered a thirteen-year-old girl after the three privileged little weasels who had started the fun ran to him for help.
The boys hadn't meant to kill her; they were good kids who just got a little carried away. All they wanted was to gang-rape the little cock-teaser, take some pictures, and teach her what it cost to humiliate people of their status. But their freakish plan tumbled out of control when the girl suddenly stopped moving.
Terrified, they offered the maggot anything he wanted if he'd dump the body for them.
But when he arrived at the abandoned house where they'd left her, he discovered she wasn't dead—passed out from the pain, but still breathing, leaking blood. He touched her throat, found a good, strong pulse. If he'd taken her to the ER, she would have survived.
Instead, he went to work on her. His kind of work.
The little girl lived a few more minutes. Alive in terror and praying for death.
More than thirty years later, the maggot and the three grown-up weasels were all killed. They went out within minutes of each other.
We got paid to do that.
Now we're paying.
The sniper who had calmly pinned my father to the ground as we were making our getaway is gone, too. An on-target warhead from an RPG had turned the stone-shielded corner he'd been firing from into an incinerator big enough for him and the rest of the hired guns up there with him.
So many died that day. Every time my heart pumps, regret pulses through my bloodstream.
That's the bad thing about killing certain humans: you can only do it once.
"What more can we do, mahn? My father is somewhere between this world and the next. He must stay—his body must stay—with those people until he comes back to us. If he were only in a real hospital . . ."
"We've been through this," I told Clarence. "A thousand times, ever since it happened. You think we can, what, call a city ambulance? The Prof's prints would fall like a cinderblock on an egg. They'd handcuff him to the bed and turn the whole place into a goddamn PBA convention."
"I could—"
"You can't do anything!" I snapped at him, as sharply as his father would have.
"When you were shot—"
"Your father—my father, too, remember?—he made the call then. And he made the right one. This one isn't the same; the minute we unhook the Prof from those machines, he's done. This call was on me to make, and I made it. Now we have to play it out."
"If any of those doctors—"
Max pulled at the sleeve of Clarence's jacket, the same dove-gray cashmere he'd been wearing the night we dropped the Prof off—now it was almost black, darkened with fear. When Clarence looked up, the mute Mongolian made the universal gesture of pointing his finger like a pistol and dropping his thumb like a hammer. Then tapped his temple, and made a facial expression that spoke louder than words.
"You think those medical boys don't fucking know that?" I echoed. "They're not worried about some malpractice claim. They're running an outlaw operation, and they get paid a fortune to take care of people from our world. That's what we're paying so much for: not just the care, the risk—they're putting a lot more than their licenses on the line, understand? That's why you never threaten people like them—they've heard it all before. It won't make them work harder. But it might scare them into doing something stupid."
"But . . . for what they are charging, even with all the money we took from that last . . . thing, we will run out by—"
"I know," I said soothingly. "But don't worry about it, Clarence. We found a new way for us to keep earning."
"Nobody told me—"
"You had no role to play in this one, son," I said, channeling the Prof. "Not up till now, anyway."
"Listen to me, sweetheart." Michelle spoke just above a whisper, her voice the same mystery-blend as her perfume. "Trust me, the word's out: the Prof's in the consultant business now. Any serious thief playing for a retirement score would want the Master to check over the plans, make sure there's no flaw. But they wouldn't expect a face-to-face. So the Prof's got a front man for that. Get it?"
"Yes," the Islander said, looking over at me and nodding. "But how is that going to bring in the kind of money we—?"
"It already is," I cut him off. "Got more business than we can handle. We're even ready to have you start working backup, too. If you want."
Clarence opened his mouth to say something, but Max just shook his head.
Mama crossed the distance from her register at the front to my booth in the back. Looked us all over. Held Clarence with her eyes. Said, "Movie business very good. Those kind of people, spend money like drunks."
Clarence opened his mouth again, but this time it was Michelle who shut him up. "We've got a doctor too, baby. A script doctor. Best in the business. The only one who gets his quote and a percentage of the gross. Let's you and me go over there and sit down, okay? Buy your baby sister a drink, and I'll explain it all to you."
The apartment was spacious by New York standards. Three bedrooms, two baths. And on a decent West Side block, too.
But this was no luxury co-op. No awning over the front door. No doorman, never mind a concierge. No central air. The elevator only went down: all the way down from a uniformed operator, to push-your-own-damn-buttons, to permanent "Out of Service."
Even the super was part-time. His one qualification was that he'd done time, and his real job was handling complaints with a "you don't want to go too far with this" look.
Thirty-six units, but only five of them still occupied. The building owner was warehousing the rest, playing stare-down with the remaining owners. No real-estate broker had any of the empty units listed.
Some of the holdouts had been stupid enough to try bribing the super. He introduced them to a new dance: the Sucker Two-Step. Step one, he takes your money. Step two comes when you run into him again—a blank look, like he's never seen you before.
When it comes to bribery, citizens are out of their league. Even in this everything-for-sale pesthole of a city, you can't run to the cops when the guy you greased doesn't do what you paid him for—that would be like a loan shark suing you for missing a payment.
We paid the super for access to the apartment. Not a bribe: payment for a service. He didn't try his look on us—it's our kind he learned it from. He wasn't a genius, but he was smart enough not to confuse us with citizens.
The cell phone in the right-hand pocket of my jacket vibrated. My clients were on their way up . . . up the stairs. I nodded to Max. He opened the door just as they were about to push the disconnected buzzer.
The doctor was in.
There were three of them. Nice business suits, nothing too flashy. I knew the headman by rep only. He may have looked like a pita pocket overstuffed with suet, but if crime was a dance, he had the moves of a tango star.
The other two could have been his partners. Or crew members, or undercover cops. The way we had it set up, it didn't make any difference. Any tape they walked away with would be about as useful as a Vietnam body count.
My worktable was a rough-hewn slab of wood with fold-up legs. I gestured for them to sit wherever they wanted. Canvas director's chairs were the only option.
Nobody offered to shake hands. As I leaned back, Michelle swiveled over. All they saw was a blonde in a red latex derma-sheath skirt and a padded bra threatening a stretchy top—if they even looked high enough up to see the blonde part. She held out a tray of plain glass ashtrays. The guy to the left of the headman took one, placed it carefully in front of him.
Michelle snake-hipped her way out of the room, making it clear that they'd already experienced the full extent of our hospitality. No minibar in this hotel, and the only room service you could order was already in the room.
The headman opened a document case, took out some paper and a chrome pen. He cleared his throat, said:
"Now, the way we've got this scripted, the wealthy guy's seen all the movies, so he wouldn't rely on any motion-sensor system. He thinks you can blow talcum powder into the room, make all the laser beams show up." His smile was room-temperature.
I consulted the graph-paper pad in front of me. It was cov-ered in tiny, autistic symbols. "So he's afraid some gymnast in a leotard—"
"You got it," the raisin-eyed pile of dough seated across from me agreed. "We're looking for realism here. Remember, this is an indie production; we don't have a few extra million to waste on special effects. So—what the guy in our script does, he keeps the stuff in a bunker."
"You mean like one of those old-time bomb shelters, or just a safe buried in the ground?"
"Totally fucking nuclear," the blob said, catching a confirmatory nod from the non-smoker to his right—a solidly built guy in his forties who was either too image-conscious to be saying, "Yeah, boss," in front of strangers, or an undercover still feeling his way. It had been that guy's call to Mama's that set this ride in motion, but he wasn't the one with the gas money.
"You have him living in there?" I asked the boss. "Inside the bunker, I mean?"
"Nah. But he could, is the point."
"You're saying, in this script, the way it's set up, all he has to do is make it inside the bunker before the take-away guys get to him, right? Then he could just kick back in the La-Z-Boy, toss some porno into his DVD player, and sip fine wine until the cops show up?"
"Not cops," the blob said, with an absolute sureness that meant whatever they intended to snatch was something the victim couldn't report to his insurance company. Straight out of the pro thief's bible: the best thing to steal is stolen property.

The country's span couldn't keep her from her daughter
Not willing to wait for airports to open, she drove 13 hours a day, most of it a panicked blur. Her son-in-law, Tom Damaskinos, worked on the 101st floor of the north tower, the first one struck.
She went to New Jersey to help her daughter, Jennifer, look for Tom and, when reality became unavoidable, to cry and grieve with her.
Cohen felt more like a mother to her 31-year-old daughter than she had in years. She cleaned house, made sure bills were paid, baby-sat her 2-year-old grandson and helped with details for the memorial service.
She fixated on helping her daughter's family. It wasn't a visit. It was her life.
When her energy evaporated in November, she came home to her husband and their 12-year-old daughter. She called it "re-entry" and at times felt like a spaceship being burned by the atmosphere.
She'd hear people talking about vacation plans and what drapes to buy. Sometimes when she talked about Jennifer and Tom, it seemed to make people uncomfortable.
"I was more alone here and isolated," she said. "I came to a place where it might as well never have happened."
Cohen said she reclaimed her home and life by changing it. Worried that all the things in her life carried too much influence, she cleaned counters, emptied closets and filled two trash bins with things she deemed unnecessary.
She also started to collect books, newspaper clippings, photos, videotapes and anything else related to Sept. 11. She filled a large plastic tub with stuff and is stacking overflow on its lid.
It's for her grandson if he wants it.
"We want Matthew to have as much of his father as he possibly can," Cohen said, explaining that the books and newspapers examine motives for the attack. "If he ever gets angry someday, I want the materials here so he can try to understand who did it, why they did it, how it could have happened."
She feels at home again, especially in the garden caring for roses and succulents with dainty blooms that grief makes her notice more. She loses herself in the plants, ultimately finds herself.
"It's about as close as I think I can be to loved ones," she said. "It's a time to let your heart go to places you can't physically go."

Hotel, once a spiritual retreat, remains heavenly
Situated in Burgundy, one of the premier wine-growing regions of France, the Abbaye de la Bussiere has to be one of the most beautiful hotels in the world. As you pass through the elegant wrought-iron gates at the foot of the driveway, the imposing stone building looks as if it came out of a fairy tale. Ironically, back in the 12th century, this now sybaritic hotel housed a spiritual community of Cistercian monks.

Ceralip Lip Repair Cream is a sufficiently creamy lip moisturizer that differs from the usual wax-based sticks or oil-based balms. It is definitely an option for dry lips, and is fragrance- and flavor-free.
This lipid-enriched healing cream restores moisture to severely dry, cracked lips. The non-irritating, anhydrous formula is specially suited to lips sensitized by extreme weather conditions or medical treatments such as Accutane.
Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides, PPG-5 Pentaerythrityl Ether, PEG-5 Pentaerythrityl Ether, Shea Butter/Butyrospermum Parkii, Beeswax/Cera Alba, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Silica Dimethyl Silycate, Glycerin Soja/Soybean Sterol, Citric Acid, BHT
La Roche-Posay At-A-Glance
Strengths: A few good cleansers; anti-aging formulas tend to be stably packaged to get the most out of the air/light-sensitive ingredients; many fragrance-free options; a unique lip moisturizer; some praiseworthy specialty products.
Weaknesses: Some problematic, overly irritating exfoliants; several ho-hum moisturizers and sunscreens; ineffective skin-lighteners; disappointing toner.
L'Oreal-owned La Roche-Posay has a pharmaceutical lineage based in France, and the company speaks of their thermal spring water as the cornerstone of their commitment to dermatological skin care. Sound familiar? L'Oreal-owned Biotherm makes similar claims for the water in their products, yet their marketing niche is spas, while La Roche-Posay caters to doctors and consumers interested in effective, no-frills skin care. Regardless of the source of their water, or how many minerals there may be in it, or the other benefits they assert it has, water is water and skin can't tell the difference. Even if the water were somehow "special," it takes a lot more than water to create and maintain healthy skin. This is something La Roche-Posay is aware of, because they do offer a fairly broad range of products to address the various needs of skin.
Their thermal spring water is said to be a rich source of selenium. Selenium is a nonmetallic element that has potent antioxidant ability. However, almost all of the research surrounding its benefits pertains to dietary or supplemental consumption, not to topical application. According to the research, selenium is absorbed into skin and helpful when applied topically only when applied as l-selenomethionine (Source: Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, July 2004, pages 149–155). It is unknown whether the water La Roche-Posay uses contains this form of selenium, but we wouldn't bank on it for a unique benefit.
For a dermatologist-oriented line like La Roche-Posay, most of the products are surprisingly devoid of state-of-the-art or other interesting ingredients. There are some standout products, such as those with retinol and stabilized vitamin C; however, most of them are one-note options that offer the help of their promoted ingredient but don't commingle it with anything else of value to skin. It's ironic that although there's not a jar package to be found in this line, most of the moisturizers lack light- or air-sensitive ingredients, so jar packaging actually wouldn't be a problem. In fact, most of the moisturizers are downright monotonous. For the money, these products will leave your skin wanting more.
If you steer your way to the well-formulated products La Roche-Posay offers, you will find some first-rate options. They're not as varied as what many other lines offer, but for a pragmatic, no-frills approach to serious skin care, they'll do just fine. In fact, among all of the L'Oreal-owned skin-care lines, La Roche-Posay comes closest to successfully competing with the best of the best. It's up to you to decide if "close" is good enough. However, if you need to avoid fragrance and a range of potentially irritating plant extracts prevalent in the products of many brands, this line may suit your skin to a T.
Note: La Roche-Posay is categorized as a brand that tests on animals because its products are sold in China. Although La Roche-Posay does not conduct animal testing for its products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brands state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law." Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Paula's Choice Research Team.

Ashes rivals England & Australia in same ICC World Cup 2015 group
England will play co-hosts Australia on the opening day of the 2015 World Cup.
Pool A is completed by the other co-hosts New Zealand, 1996 winners Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and two associate nations from qualifying tournaments.
Holders India, South Africa, Pakistan, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Ireland and a qualifier are in Pool B.
The tournament starts on 14 February with the final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground - where Pakistan beat England in the 1992 final - on 29 March.
World Cup winners
1975 - West Indies
1979 - West Indies
1983 - India
1987 - Australia
1992 - Pakistan
1996 - Sri Lanka
1999 - Australia
2003 - Australia
2007 - Australia
2011 - India
After their opening match against Australia, which will also take place at the MCG, England head to Wellington to face New Zealand six days later.
Alastair Cook's men stay in New Zealand for two more matches, against a qualifier in Christchurch - still rebuilding from an earthquake two years ago - and against Sri Lanka back in Wellington on 1 March.
They then head back to Australia for games against Bangladesh, on 9 March in Adelaide, and the other qualifier in their group, on 13 March in Sydney.
The tournament will follow the same format as the 2011 event with the top four teams from each pool progressing to the quarter-finals.
International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive David Richardson said the World Cup "is the flagship tournament of the 50-over game".
He added: "I'm absolutely confident that the success of the Cricket World Cup 2015 will further strengthen the status of 50-over cricket as a successful and viable format alongside Tests and Twenty20 internationals."
Australia Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said: "This is one of the biggest events in world sport.
"It will attract cricket fans from around the globe and also promote Australia and our close friend New Zealand internationally - especially in India and other parts of South Asia."
Defending champions India, who beat Sri Lanka in the 2011 final, will begin their campaign against Pakistan in Adelaide on 15 February.

On the mechanism of electrochemical ion transfer reactions
In: Journal of electroanalytical chemistry : an international journal, devoted also to all physicochemical aspects of fundamental and applied electrochemistry, Jg. 394 (1995) ; 1/2, S. 29-34
Zeitschriftenaufsatz / Fach: Chemie
Fakultät für Chemie
Signatur der Zeitschrift: D30/70 J 11
The Gibbs energy curve experienced by an ion approaching the surface of a metal electrode is investigated by molecular dynamics using the I− ion approaching a platinum electrode in an aqueous solution as an example. The maximum of the potential energy curve is determined by the partial desolvation of the ion before it is adsorbed. Electron exchange with the electrode does not occur at the maximum of the potential energy curve, but on the descending branch where the ion approaches the surface. A surface charge density on the electrode surface changes the potential energy curve both through the action of the resulting electric field and by changing the structure of the solvent near the surface. It is argued that ion transfer reactions differ in fundamental aspects from electron transfer reactions and cannot be interpreted in terms of the Marcus theory.

Fluorescence quenching dynamics of single antigen-antibody pairs under an applied load
Will Heinz, Peter Yim, Lori Goldner
Optical Technology Division, Physics Laboratory
Interactions between individual molecules depend on variables such as separation distance, orientation, conformation, and local environment. Atomic force microscope (AFM) measurements on ligand-receptor pairs have shown the unbinding force depends on the loading rate and enthalpy of binding; however, these measurements do not detect the orientational and conformational changes of non-load bearing domains of the molecules and are also limited by incomplete descriptions of the number of interacting pairs contributing. Single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy (SMFS) techniques are sensitive to molecular conformation, orientation, and dynamics. Combining an AFM with SMFS measurements can more completely describe the interaction between single molecules. Here we present a combined AFM and scanning confocal microscope capable of single molecule detection and manipulation. Using a simple system, antibodies directed against a fluorophore, we investigate the coupled intermolecular interactions and fluorescence dynamics of a ligand-receptor pair during forced binding/unbinding. We present simultaneous SMFS measurements on the AFM forced-unbinding of single antigen-antibody pairs in aqueous buffer and examine correlations between fluorescence intensity, separation distance, applied load, and binding state.

How do I remove scratches from the top of my glass coffee table? Any ideas, or tried and true fixes, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

By Sheryl
Here are the recent answer to this question.
By Cathy [9]05/22/2007
Buy Brasso, and put a little bit on a cloth. Rub hard on the scratches (you will need LOTS of elbow grease) and as long as the scratches are not too deep, they should buff out. Good luck!

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
MACON -- As disappointed as Greater Atlanta Christian's girls were at not completing an all-Gwinnett final in the Class AA state basketball tournament, their counterparts from Buford were almost as disappointed.
The No. 2 state-ranked Wolves certainly would've liked a shot at avenging two losses in three games with the fourth-ranked Spartans with the state title on the line, in addition to representing Region 6-AA.
However, they shouldn't be lacking motivation when they try to make it two straight championships by taking on undefeated and top-ranked Vidalia in the title game at 3 p.m. today at the Macon Centreplex.
Plus, GAC's top-ranked boys team can still bring home a Gwinnett and Region 6-AA sweep of the titles if it can beat No. 4 Thomasville in its championship game at 4:45 p.m.
"We're motivated for either team," Buford guard Alysha Rudnik said following the Wolves' (27-4) semifinal win over Laney, but prior to Vidalia's win over GAC, on Thursday. "We want to come out ready."
Of course, Rudnik and fellow seniors Ayana Ward, Lacey Pass, Kayla Burge and Jessica Ours have the extra motivation of trying to end their high school careers on a high note.
"We definitely want to go out a winner," said Rudnik, who had 12 points, five rebounds and four steals in Thursday's semifinal win. "Only one team ends up winning its final game every game. That's how I want to go out."
The Wolves will have their hands full if that is to happen, as Vidalia (31-0) demonstrated in rallying from as many as 19 points down -- and 15 points down as late as the third quarter -- to beat GAC in Thursday's other semifinal.
Led by junior point guard Kourtnee Williams (23 points, six assists vs. GAC) and senior post Shekinah Henry (16 points, 16 rebounds, six blocked shots), the Indians showed plenty of guts and stamina.
While they were able to survive the hectic pace against GAC despite playing their starting five the entire game, Buford is hopeful its depth and suffocating press might wear them down.
Still, Wolves coach Gene Durden his plenty of respect for Vidalia and knows it will take his team's best effort like the one it got in forcing 26 turnovers from Laney, as well as getting 20 points from Andraya Carter and a 5 of 9 night from 3-point range from Pass.
"We've (scouted) them twice now," Durden said of the Indians. "They've got a great post player and a really good point guard. They're going to be tough, but any team that's playing in a state championship game is playing well."
The same can be said for both teams in the boys matchup, especially GAC (31-1), which has disposed of its four previous postseason opponents by an average of 40.5 points after Thursday's 81-56 win over Laney in the semifinals.
However, as excited as the Spartans are at climbing the hurdle that tripped them up a year ago when they lost in the semis to eventual state champion Dublin, coach Eddie Martin knows that can't be enough.
"Our job's not over," Martin said. "If we're satisfied with this, we're just asking to get beat. We can't be satisfied with this."
Judging from the way stalwarts like senior Trent Wiedeman -- who has averaged 21.5 points and 11 rebounds in the postseason, including a 23-point, 18-rebound effort Thursday -- and junior Malcolm Brogdon (19.3 ppg, 7.7 rpg in the tournament), GAC is still hungry.
"We're looking forward to it," Wiedeman said of today's title game. "It's been our goal the whole year long, and we're definitely playing our hardest right now."
The Spartans will need to keep playing hard against a Thomasville (24-4) team that is similar to them in size and athleticism.
The Bulldogs feature one of the top sophomores in the nation in 6-foot-7 Willie Clayton, who averages 17 points and 10 rebounds per game, and had a huge night in Thomasville's semifinal rout of Jefferson.
Thomasville also features the quickness of Georgia Tech football signee Fred Holton, and Martin knows they present one of the biggest challenges GAC has faced this season.
However, he also believes the difficult non-region schedule the Spartans played this season -- including a narrow loss to national power Melrose of Tennessee, plus wins over Class AAAAA Centennial and out-of-state powers Faith Christian (N.C.) and Green County (Ala.) -- will help prepare them for what they face today.
"I think our strength of schedule will help us," Martin said. "This is why we played those games. ... But the key is to play our game."

Great looking shoe. Good for a jog. A little narrow, but pretty comfortable.
Best Uses
Gift to daughter who just ran her first half marathon. She loved the shoes. No blisters, no aching toes, no tired feet. Custom orthotics also helped a lot.
Best Uses
Nike did a good job redoing this shoe and making it light and lean. Too bad, it runs large. It seemed wide across the midfoot and long but, not long enough to go down a 1/2 size. I decided to return it without even running in it for my trusty Pegasus.

hi experts,
i need help with these 2 exercises, i hope someone can help me with them or even put me in the right direction:
1)G_guess.sh - when run it generates a random number between 1 and 100 and asks you
to guess the secret number until you guess correctly. The script tells if the guess was too
high, too low or correct. You can guess 0 (zero) to exit the program. After you guessed
right the program will tell how many tries you needed and ask if you wish to try again.
2)E_sort_students_by_birthyear.sh when run it shows all data of the students in students2,
sorted by year of birth, the youngest on top. The students that have the same year of birth
should be alphabetically sorted by name.
here are the student sin students2:
Lucile st155 1985 Belgium
Monique st933 1983 France
Giovanni st126 1986 Italy
Piet st063 1983 Holland

Warehouse management system vendor, Catalyst International, recently reported
results for the first quarter of 2000. Revenue was $10.3 million, an increase
of 9.4% over the fourth quarter 1999, but slightly less than revenues
of $10.7 million for the first quarter 1999.
also made progress toward its goal of a 1:2 ratio of licenses to services
revenues with license revenues increasing 175% to $2.4 million in the
first quarter. Services revenues, derived primarily from modifications
implemented for clients and other customer services, declined slightly
over last quarter to $6.2 million. Catalyst returned to profitability
in the first quarter, earning $172,000 after taxes, putting an end to
a two-quarter period of losses in 1999. Carrying these losses forward,
net earnings for the first quarter were $264,000 or $0.03 per share.
favorable results fall in line with those of its peers in the WMS and
SCM markets, many of whom have entered Y2K with a surge in revenues and
earnings. In addition to winning new accounts in the fourth quarter and
selling to existing customers, Catalyst has continued to work toward revising
its organization in order to capitalize on the SAP alliance in effect
since last September.
Catalyst's renewed revenue growth and profitability follows a shaky 1999
in which its revenues fluctuated and earnings dipped into negative territory.
Though its customers should be encouraged by its first quarter report
card, the results do not yet indicate substantial growth in its business,
an effect Catalyst hopes to achieve through its partnership with SAP.
While potential for this growth is good, Catalyst must balance carefully
its partnership with SAP and its ability to execute as an individual company
to avoid conflicts in strategy that could damage its business in the longer
Catalyst needs to maintain the ability to sell its products independently
of SAP to be viable in the post partnership existence that will resume
in a few years, provided that SAP does not acquire Catalyst. Though outright
acquisitions are not SAP's tactic of choice, the ERP vendor approximates
them by providing a strong indirect channel for a multitude of VARs, which
then depend fully on SAP for their livelihood. In order to avoid this
fate, Catalyst must continue to seek business that supports its non-SAP
goals, while still paying due "tribute" in the form of implementation
services to its new benefactor. These goals should include expanding its
product offering to cover more of the supply chain execution space by
adding transportation management or advanced order management products.
In spite of its deep expertise and functionality in WMS, Catalyst often
loses deals to competitors that can offer broader functionality to clients
who are anticipating future IT needs that extend beyond WMS. A recent
example is Provia Software's win at Owens Corning. Owens signed on for
warehouse and yard management, two systems offered by Catalyst, but chose
Provia in part for its transportation management capabilities that might
be needed in the future.
For companies in retail, consumer packaged goods, or industrial technology,
Catalyst WMS products offer a rich set of features and can be customized
according to specific customer requirements. We encourage users to include
Catalyst on a short list for Unix WMS selections. SAP users who are unsatisfied
with mySAP.com's WMS capabilities will certainly wish to evaluate Catalyst,
but should remember that a dedicated interface between the two applications
will not be ready until 3Q 2000 or later. Currently, Catalyst uses third
party software from Mercator to integrate WMS and SAP R/3. As times goes
on and Catalyst refines its ability to execute alongside SAP, SAP users
should find the alliance to be a low risk alternative to other SAP WMS
combinations. In the short term where ease-of-interface is important,
SAP users may want to consider Provia Software's WMS, which offers a standard
interface to connect to R/3. While the recent quarter bodes well for Catalyst
and falls in line with our expectations (see TEC article, "Catalyst
International Bit by Y2K Bug"), users should wait until the company
can achieve sustained quarterly revenues in excess of $15 million with
at least $3 million directly attributable to the new alliance before concluding
its SAP pact a success.

Phoenix Tattoo For Men
Phoenix Tattoo For Men
It doesn't take a genius to find Phoenix tattoo design on the net. The internet is filled with them. The only problem is that most of them happen to be generic, low end images that nobody should be using as real tattoos. If you are using a search-engine to find the designs you want, you will want to read why this isn't such a good idea.
First of all, I want to say that a Phoenix tattoo design is always a great choice. They are some of the most fascinating tattoos you could think about getting inked. With that said, you may have notices that a lot of the images you are seeing for this style are nowhere close to being "great". That's because search engines tend to pull up tons of galleries that are packed with nothing but generic, cookie cutter images that are way over seven years old. On top of that, a good 70% of the images were not even meant to be used as real tattoo! That's the scary part, because some galleries will throw any type of artwork up on their sub pages.
Phoenix Tattoo For Men
They don't care that the images won't look anywhere near as good as it looked on paper once somebody gets it tattoos. Too much of this type of art, even for a Phoenix tattoo design, is floating around the web and search engines seem to love to pull thee places up in their results.
Ok, enough of that. Let's go over a simple and effective way to uncover a lot of the hidden, superb galleries that you've been missing out on…
To find a quality Phoenix tattoo design on the net, you will want to realize that interne forums are loaded with information about where the sizzling galleries are. Tattoos happen to be a very large subject inside of most forums, so you better believe the subject of good galleries come up quite often. All you have to do is go through the posts and find the links to the great galleries that other men and women have found. It's as easy as that.
Phoenix Tattoo For Men
It's a simple and fun way to find dozens and dozens of the top notch galleries out there that probably have a huge amount of Phoenix tattoo design artwork for you to browse. No matter which Phoenix tattoo design you end up choosing, please make sure you are picking the exact one you want and don't settle for less.
