This was followed by a presentation by Mark Landy and Brian Smith of Siemens Industry Inc. on future expectations in steel rolling for automation of advanced high-strength steels (AHSS) and requirements to consider.
Following the technical presentations, the producer members held a "best practices" discussion on cold rolling solution and strip lubrication/cleanliness practices. CSRTC chair Scott Starr developed a survey on the topic, which he circulated to the producers, and the results of this survey were discussed. After the best practices discussion, plans were discussed for the next Cold Rolling Fundamentals Specialty Training Conference, being planned for February 2011. A separate teleconference will be held to review feedback from the last conference and to refine a few of the final details. The CSRTC then reviewed the status of their sessions for AISTech in Pittsburgh, including a joint session with the Rolls Technology Committee. Additional participants for their panel discussion on cold rolling operational issues were also identified. The CSRTC developed topics for the Call for Abstracts for AISTech 2011. The meeting concluded with a discussion on future leadership for the committee.
The Cold Sheet Rolling Technology Committee (CSRTC) met on 22–23 Oct 2009, in Rockport, Ind. After some discussion on committee membership, the CSRTC discussed plans for their next Cold Rolling Fundamentals Specialty Training Conference. The decision was made to present this conference in February 2011 in Orlando, Fla., and to maintain the same program that was offered in 2009, with some minor refinements made based on feedback from the 2009 course. Homero Ortiz of ArcelorMittal then reviewed sessions planned for AISTech 2010, which will be held 3–6 May in Pittsburgh, Pa. The Rolls Technology Committee had met the previous week and proposed a joint session with the CSRTC, so this was reviewed in more depth, with the final decision to be made after further review. Time was then allotted for each attendee to discuss any safety incidents or concerns. This led to a further discussion on designing equipment for safety, and it was agreed this would be a topic for a presentation for a future meeting. A survey had previously been distributed to the producer companies on coil identification and marking techniques, and each company reviewed their results with the committee. The meeting was followed by a tour of AK Steel Rockport Works, where the attendees had the opportunity to see the carbon and stainless continuous pickling line, the stainless continuous annealing and pickling line, the carbon and stainless continuous cold mill, the continuous hot-dip galvanizing and galvannealing line, the hydrogen annealing and temper rolling facilities, and the automated guidance vehicles (AGVs). Scott Starr of California Steel Industries, and the CSRTC committee chair, presented a plaque of appreciation to Matt Ludwig, plant manager of AK Steel Rockport Works, and also thanked Matt Baur of AK Steel for all his efforts in arranging the meeting.
The Cold Sheet Rolling Technology Committee (CSRTC) met at AISTech 2009 in St. Louis on 5 May. They began by discussing the papers that had already been presented and preparing for their remaining sessions at the conference. Their next order of business was officer elections for the upcoming year. By unanimous vote, it was decided to continue with the same committee leadership as the past year, which included Scott Starr as chair, David Paton as vice chair, and Brian Nelson and Homero Ortiz as papers chairs. The CSRTC then reviewed their mission statement and decided that no changes were needed to it. They discussed the Cold Mill Roundup, which they will be finalizing for inclusion in Iron & Steel Technology. Since the Cold Rolling Training Seminar was held in February 2009, the CSRTC opted to wait until 2011 to offer the seminar again. Tentative plans were discussed for an upcoming fall meeting, along with some topics for discussion.

Parks Group Urges Better Protection for Addition Lands within Big Cypress National Preserve
|November 24, 2010
|John Adornato III, Sun Coast Regional Director National Parks Conservation Association, Cell: 954-309-9307
Alison Zemanski, Media Relations Manager, National Parks Conservation Association, Cell: 202.384.8762
Parks Group Urges Better Protection for Addition Lands within Big Cypress National Preserve
Statement by NPCA Sun Coast Regional Director John Adornato III
Background: Big Cypress National Preserve is a unique treasure within the U.S. National Park System. The Preserve was created to provide both access for hunting and off-road vehicles (ORV), as well as to preserve the natural beauty of a cypress swamp connected to the greater Everglades ecosystem. The Addition Lands, preserved in 1989, are nearly 150,000 acres of primary habitat for endangered species such as the Florida panther.
"The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) is disappointed by the preferred alternative that the National Park Service released today, which disregards the unique resources of the Big Cypress Swamp. Unfortunately, rather than preserving rare and sensitive habitats that are home to the endangered Florida panther, the Park Service chose to maximize vehicular access in the area known as Mullet Slough. In the past, funding and staffing shortfalls have limited the Park Services' ability to manage ORV use within the larger Big Cypress National Preserve and therefore, ORV use should not be introduced to the Addition Lands.
"In addition, NPCA recommends that the areas where swamp buggies and ATVs are banned should be designated as wilderness areas and responsibly managed as vital habitat by the Park Service. Contrary to the report, wilderness designation allows for appropriate wildfire access and the removal of exotic, invasive species and therefore is not in conflict with the stated goal of habitat restoration.
"NPCA urges the Park Service to revisit their decision prior to publishing the final plan and choose the appropriate measures that will protect endangered species, like the Florida panther, to preserve our national treasure for our children and grandchildren to enjoy."

How relaxed do you feel after you walk out of a massage? How does your skin feel when you leave the steam room? Are you glowing after that amazing facial?
Wouldn't it be nice if you created your everyday life to be your own spa?
Recently I was at fellow Bella Life contributor Sarah Jenk's adorable apartment in the East Village having a brainstorm session for our businesses. She was running out for a few hours but offered her apartment to me as a space to work in while she was gone. I took her up on the offer since it is so darn cute, filled with light and excellent vibes for creativity. Sarah began setting up a desk for me. She threw on a vintage floral tablecloth. She brought 3 candles in mason jars over and lit them. She carried over a vase filled with vibrant flowers. She filled a glass with water and squeezed a luscious lemon inside the glass. And to top all of that off, she placed a bottle of luxurious cucumber-melon scented hand lotion on the table. I sat there in amazement and said, "Wow, I feel like I am at a spa!!!" Sarah replied, "Yeah, well that's the point, Ali! Every day can be spa day. Bring the spa to you."
I was blown away by this comment. My mind opened and I realized that I was the one choosing to not show myself love. I was choosing to not decorate my room with beautiful, feminine pieces. I was choosing to place only office supplies on my desk. I was choosing to save the candles and the lotion for rituals and rare occasions. Why can't we choose luxury, relaxation and serenity everyday? The answer is, we can!
How can you create your own personal spa?
1. Bring beauty to your indoor spaces. This will create a spa-like atmosphere. And you are allowed to bring out all the stops EVERY DAY. Do this all the time! Light candles or incense. Play relaxing music or just music that brightens your day. Invest in some beautiful pieces of art or decorative accessories. Buy some fresh flowers and place them in a gorgeous vase. Even if you aren't at a place where you can afford to have the space of your dreams, adding small elements will feel like you are
2. Bring the spa into your everyday activities. We all shower. Well, hopefully No but really, you can make your everyday acitivities, such as your shower, extra special! You could do this by using natural products that nourish your skin but that also smell good. I love Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap because the smell of peppermint just does it for me. I also love to stand under the water, close my eyes, and pretend like I am standing under a waterfall in a tropical rainforest. I let go of all of my thoughts and let the water pour over my body. It feels so good!
3. Beautify your meals. Cooking is nourishing to the soul but sometimes when we are hungry or we are in a rush, we tend to slack on presentation. Decide to prepare your plate as if it was a piece of art. Take care in it's presentation and you will feel like you are being served at a five-star restaurant. It definitely makes a difference- you're food will taste better, you will enjoy it more, and you will feel super pampered.
Let the spa days begin!

HOLLAND, Mich. (WZZM) - WZZM 13 has learned that communities in West Michigan are getting money that is supposed to help victim's of Hurricane Sandy on the east coast.
The Army Corps of Engineers Lake Michigan office wanted the money for dredging.
"When the hurricane hit the east coast, we ended up getting some back winds from that," says Tom O'Bryan with the Army Corps of Engineers. "The wave energy picks up a lot of sand from the shoreline."
WZZM 13 has learned that Holland and Muskegon are each receiving $200,000 and Saugatuck's getting $350,000. When asked if the money would be better served for on the east coast, O'Bryan said," I believe the majority of the package for Sandy went to the east cost."
The local relief money is part of a larger $40 billion package. Congressman Bill Huizenga supports the idea, but voted down the bill.
"I wanted to prioritize our debt, and granted Sandy relief is important, but not at the expense of incurring billions of dollars of new debt, I wanted to find other areas to cut to help pay for this," says Congressman Huizenga.
The Holland Board of Public Works relies on clear passage for cargo shipments, and more sand means less can be carried.
"If we schedule five boats, we want them to be fully loaded, if we lighten the load, that's less they're going to bring in," says Judy Visscher with the Holland Board of Public Works.
Holland already gets annual funding for dredging, but the Army Corps says without the hurricane relief dollars, the job wouldn't be completed.
In West Michigan, Saint Joseph is receiving the most hurricane relief at $550,000.

String of gold amulets
From Egypt
17th-18th Dynasty (about 1650-1295 BC)
This group of
The use of plants and flowers as amulets and as jewellery elements were very popular in the New Kingdom. All plants were symbolic of new life, but the lotus, which opened every morning, was particularly associated with resurrection.
Trussed animals, such as cattle, might represent food offerings. Ducks are typically shown in this way on offering tables in tombs and temples. The pose in which the duck's neck is shown twisted has been interpreted as one of a sleeping bird, and symbolic of resurrection. Snakes' heads were depicted in the interior friezes of Middle Kingdom private coffins. They first appear as amulets in burials of the New Kingdom and may, perhaps, have been intended as protection against snake bites.

Like most quilters, I began with quilt making the traditional way. A long that way I find myself more attracted to the "artsy" kind of quilts.At this moment I am in a transitional phase, searching my way between traditional and contemporary. While using other materials to enhance fabrics and fibers I get challenged to explore more possibilities to express myself. The need to express myself seems not compatible with my technical education and work (chemical science and information technology). But it is clear and visible that I have a passion to do so by making quilts.

Common Core Implementation Panel releases preliminary recommendations
ALBANY - The Common Core Implementation Panel, formed in early February unveiled a series of recommendations to immediately improve the implementation of Common Core in New York State.
The Common Core Implementation Panel recommends moving forward with a commitment to the Common Core coupled with immediate course corrections and sustained support designed to better serve students and parents and ensure the successful implementation of the Common Core standards.
The recommendations include protections for students, measures to provide better support for parents and teachers, improve the public's trust in Common Core implementation, and additional reforms to protect data privacy. The full report is available here.
"The flawed implementation of the Common Core curriculum has resulted in frustration, anxiety, and confusion for children and parents," Governor Andrew Cuomo said. "It is in everyone's best interest to have high, real world standards for learning and to support the Common Core curriculum, but we need to make sure that our students are not unfairly harmed by its implementation. The recommendations released by the Common Core Implementation Panel today seek to achieve this goal. These recommendations would ensure that State Common Core test results in grades 3-8 will not appear on students' permanent records, reduce over-testing, and halt the State Education Department's data initiative with inBloom. The panel does not make any recommendation to halt or slow teacher evaluations. I will review these recommendations with the Senate and the Assembly."
Since Common Core was first instituted in New York, concerns have been raised by parents, teachers, school administrators, and community leaders regarding the program's implementation. A summary of the Panel's recommendations:

Kammeraad's six goals, and three more by K.J. Sanchez, helped the No. 1-ranked Lakers improve to 10-0 on the season and 4-0 in Lakes Eight Conference play.
Kaleb Winter and Nic Ellingboe also scored for the Lakers, who will host Comstock Park on Thursday.
A late goal by Grand Haven's Mike Moran salvaged a 1-1 tie with West Ottawa in O-K Red Conference soccer action on Tuesday.
The Panthers got on the board late in the first half. The Bucs had several chances to tie the game, but didn't but a ball into the net until Moran's shot with just 4:38 remaining in the game.
"We've got to find ways to make our play more consistent and finish teams off when we get a chance," said Bucs' coach Aaron Dean, whose team is now 5-4-2 overall and 1-1-1 in league play.
After battling to a scoreless first half Tuesday, visiting Western Michigan Christian scored twice in the second half for a 2-0 soccer win over River Valley Conference foe Muskegon Catholic Central.
The win puts the Warriors at 5-3-1 on the season and 2-0-1 in league play.
Fruitport won its third consecutive lopsided Lakes Eight Conference contest, beating Fremont on Tuesday, 5-0.
The Trojans, now 6-3-2 overall and 3-0 in league play, held a dominating 15-7 advantage in shots.
Ryan Craker and Taylor McLaughlin scored first half goals, with Dalton Mullennix assisting on Craker's score.

How many of you make a conscious effort to train and develop your grip strength as part of your weekly gym routine? Do you consider this an important area of focus, or a complete waste of time?
If you stop for a moment to contemplate the exercises you undertake on a daily and weekly basis, you will start to appreciate the importance of grip strength. Exercises such as pull ups, shrugs and dead lifts, to name but a few, all heavily rely upon this key area of strength.
You might argue that you simply haven't got time to highlight and target your grip strength on top of everything else you have to squeeze into your gym sessions. You may even argue that grip strength has never been an issue and is not a cause for concern. To some extent, these points are valid – however, when your grip strength starts to become a limiting factor within your training, then surely it's worth paying it some consideration and attention.
The Importance Of Grip Strength
If your grip strength is lacking, then at some point it will catch up with you. Ultimately, this will create a plateau in your training, whereby your target muscles are able to lift the enhanced resistance but your grip simply cannot cope. At the very least, this will result in frustration, whilst at worst it could result in an injury that could have easily been avoided.
So what options do you have, in order to try and avoid this worst case scenario? One is to turn to the quick fix: weight lifting straps. This gym accessory should be considered an instant short term solution and they offer numerous advantages to those recovering from injury – yet if relied upon, they can actually attenuate an overall decline in your grip strength. This can include significant muscular wastage of the forearm region.
If you're an experienced gym goer, then you should appreciate by now that nothing in life, or more specifically the gym, comes easy. This rings true for grip strength as much as it does for any other target muscle you're trying to develop and enhance. If you want good grip strength then you have to be prepared to work for it.
The purpose of this article is to provide several key tips to help develop your grip strength. Also included are numerous exercises which can be utilised with your normal training regime to develop grip strength.
Tips To Increase Your Grip Strength
Stop Promoting Weakness
This topic of conversation has already been covered, so there's no point in dwelling on it, but it does require reiteration.
Don't rely on quick fixes such as weight lifting straps. They may seem appealing, yet they should be considered only a short term solution and may even bring about counter productive effects. Put in the hard work from the start and your grip strength will reap the benefits.
Challenge Your Grip Strength Frequently
As with all target muscles you're trying to develop and enhance, they need the necessary stresses regularly in order to improve.
Training your grip strength doesn't have to be time consuming or even separate from your normal training regime. Every time you pick up a weight or complete an exercise, there will be a degree of grip strength used, so manipulate this activity to suit your needs.
Train Smart
In order to develop your grip strength efficiently and effectively, you have to provide it with the stimuli required to grow. One of the best ways to do this is through heavy resistance, which is likely to mimic your chosen exercises.
It's all well and good performing 500 wrist curls with a light weight, but is this really going to benefit you and your grip strength when you attempt to dead lift 150kg? The simple answer is no.
Always Remember The Simple Things
This final tip might sound a little simplistic, but when looking to develop your grip strength, remember to actively squeeze and grip during any given exercise.
During the performance of an exercise, such as a dead lift, individuals are often so focused on their technique that they forget to do the simple things. By actively concentrating on squeezing the bar, your grip strength can increase significantly.
Exercises To Increase Your Grip Strength
Hanging Around: To perform this exercise, simply locate an overhead bar and hang from it for a period of time. The difficulty of this exercise can easily be enhanced by adding additional resistance to your bodyweight or by only utilising one arm to hang from.
Pinching And Squeezing: This particular exercise requires two weight plates. Grip a plate with each hand, utilising only your thumb and fingers to make contact with the plate. Once again, if you find this exercise too easy, simply find a heavier plate.
Pull Ups With A Difference: Pull ups as an exercise will naturally enhance grip strength, but by wrapping a towel around the bar prior to use you will significantly enhance the difficulty by enhancing the bar's thickness and removing any grip.
Wrist Rolling: Out of the four exercises listed, this is probably the most recognisable. To perform, grasp a barbell with both palms facing downwards and simply roll the bar upwards until your movement becomes restricted. Then return and repeat as required.
Final Word
You will notice from the tips and exercises that increasing your grip strength doesn't have to be time consuming or completed in addition to your normal gym routine. For instance, next time you are scheduled to complete a back session, why not implement the 'Pull Ups With A Difference' exercise suggestion into part of your normal regime? This will serve to target your back and grip strength simultaneously.
Not only does all of the above, if implemented correctly, have to potential to enhance your grip strength and forearm muscle mass, but it also offers positive application to other key exercises such as pull ups, shrugs and dead lifts.
With all this in mind, try implementing the above tips and exercises into your training schedule immediately and start to reap the rewards…

Computer hackers could have a new weapon in their arsenal: cats.
Security engineer and expert Gene Bransfield recently demonstrated how a cat wearing a special collar could help computer hackers obtain enough information to prey on unprotected computer users.
The high-tech collar is called the WarKitteh.
Bransfield says he came up with the idea while delivering presentations about computer security. He would often use funny photographs of cats during the presentations to make them more interesting. During one of those presentations, someone showed him a GPS collar designed to allow people to locate their pets by sending a text message. That is when he came up with the idea of putting a Wi-Fi sniffing device in a collar and started working on it.
After the collar was finished, he put it on his neighbor cat's neck and let the cat loose in a suburban Washington, D.C., neighborhood. During the cat's first venture, 23 unsecured Wi-Fi networks were discovered. Unsecured networks allow hackers to access individual's computers and steal their information.
The collar was created for Bransfield's own amusement and not meant for production or distribution, according to Wired.com. The WarKitteh collar began gaining national attention after Bransfield presented a talk titled "How To Weaponize Your Pets" at the DefCon hacker conference last week in Las Vegas. There are no known cases at this time of computer hackers using such devices to steal information.

Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, has said that Fernabahce of Turkey defender, Joseph Yobo, remains the national team captain, even though the player has been left out of the national team since Nigeria won the African cup in February.
Keshi who spoke at the team's camp in Abuja on Wednesday, said he had a lot of respect for Yobo because of what he has done for the nation. But despite Keshi assurance that Yobo remains the captain, the defender was left out of the 20-man list of players called up for the Mandela Challenge next month.
On Wednesday Keshi said, "It will not be fair to invite Yobo to the national team and ask him to be on the bench, it will be a huge disgrace and I won't be part of that. When the team needs him he will be recalled and will definitely start as captain even if along the line, we substitute him."
He then underlined the condition for Yobo to make a return to the team.
"For the captain of the team, he has to work extra hard to remain so because he is leader of the team and that has been the philosophy of the team since we took over because that was the way we were brought up to captain the national team."

The President is currently facing a growing tide of dissatisfaction on both the left and the right that has reached palpable levels in the wake of the BP oil disaster. It has taken an environmental catastrophe of an unknown scope to bring many in the mainstream media and within the Democratic base to speak out against the President. While the oil spill may have been the spark, the roots of this displeasure go much deeper. In an interview with Spiegel Online former United States Marine and military analyst Daniel Ellsberg explains the genesis of the growing anger even amongst the Left.
Ellsberg: His actions are totally uncoupled from his public statements. I don't even listen anymore. He has turned 180 degrees.
In an era supposedly marking the beginning of post-partisanship, divisions in the body polity have never been more evident. Internal division within the Democratic and Republicans is beginning to show. On the Left, many people with civil libertarian leanings are breaking from the Administration over the failure to end a single Bush era erosion of the Bill of Rights. With the extensions of the Patriot Act, indefinite detentions to the plethora of ways electronic surveillance is being extended many of the once chastised "America Haters" or "Bush Haters" are starting to sound strikingly similar in their characterizations of Obama. It remains to be seen if the same apologist on the Right for the Bush era destruction of the Constitution and Bill of Rights in the name of indefinite war on an amorphous, ambiguous enemy will now assume that people critical of Obama are also haters of America. Within the Republican Party there is equal turmoil. The primary elections of Tea Party candidates such as Rand Paul and the campaigns of other noteable political outsiders such as Peter Schiff has the GOP machinery in a desperate scramble to support establishment players. There is a strong division between the Ron Paul Libertarian leaning Republican and the Neoconservative, Bill Krystol PNAC Republican particularly surrounding Global War on Terror issues. There are nightly reminders from radio and T.V. pundits not to split the Republican vote and be left with a greater of two evils.
SPIEGEL ONLINE:Mr. Ellsberg, you're a hero and an icon of the left. But we hear you're not too happy with President Obama anymore.
Daniel Ellsberg: I voted for him and I will probably vote for him again, as opposed to the Republicans. But I believe his administration in some key aspects is nothing other than the third term of the Bush administration.
SPIEGEL ONLINE: How so?
Ellsberg: I think Obama is continuing the worst of the Bush administration in terms of civil liberties, violations of the constitution and the wars in the Middle East.
SPIEGEL ONLINE: For example?
Ellsberg:Take Obama's explicit pledge in his State of the Union speech to remove "all" United States troops from Iraq by the end of 2011. That's a total lie. I believe that's totally false. I believe he knows that's totally false. It won't be done. I expect that the US will have, indefinitely, a residual force of at least 30,000 US troops in Iraq.
SPIEGEL ONLINE: What about Afghanistan? Isn't that a justifiable war?
Ellsberg: I think that there's an inexcusable escalation in both countries. Thousands of US officials know that bases and large numbers of troops will remain in Iraq and that troop levels and bases in Afghanistan will rise far above what Obama is now projecting. But Obama counts on them to keep their silence as he deceives the public on these devastating, costly, reckless ventures.
SPIEGEL ONLINE:You doubt not only Obama's missions abroad but also his politics back home in the US. Why exactly are you accusing the president of violating civil liberties?
Ellsberg:For instance, the Obama administration is criminalizing and prosecuting whistleblowers to punish them for uncovering scandals within the federal government …
SPIEGEL ONLINE:… Such as the arrest, confirmed this week, of an Army intelligence analyst for leaking the "Collateral Murder" video of a deadly US helicopter attack in Iraq, which was later posted online at WikiLeaks.
Ellsberg: Also, the recent US indictment of Thomas Drake.
SPIEGEL ONLINE: Drake was a former senior official with the National Security Agency (NSA) who provided reporters with information about failures at the NSA.
Ellsberg:For Obama to indict and prosecute Drake now, for acts undertaken and investigated during the Bush administration, is to do precisely what Obama said he did not mean to do — "look backward." Of all the blatantly criminal acts committed under Bush, warrantless wiretapping by the NSA, aggression, torture, Obama now prosecutes only the revelation of massive waste by the NSA, a socially useful act which the Bush administration itself investigated but did not choose to indict or prosecute!
Bush brought no indictments against whistleblowers, though he suspended Drake's clearance. Obama, in this and other matters relating to secrecy and whistleblowing, is doing worse than Bush. His violation of civil liberties and the White House's excessive use of the executive secrecy privilege is inexcusable.
SPIEGEL ONLINE: Why would Obama reverse himself?
Ellsberg: He's a good politician. He said what he needed to say to get elected, and now he's just taking advantage of the office. Like any administration before, his administration caters to the profits of big corporations like BP and Goldman Sachs — even though I think BP won't get off that easily this time. His early campaign contributions, the big corporate contributions, came from Wall Street. They got their money's worth.
In fact, during the campaign of 2008, three candidates were backed by Wall Street: Obama, Hillary Clinton and John McCain. If you look at the rhetoric, the most promising was John Edwards. Too bad he turned out to be a jerk.
SPIEGEL ONLINE: But Obama has been very verbal about his criticism of Wall Street.
Ellsberg: His actions are totally uncoupled from his public statements. I don't even listen anymore. He has turned 180 degrees. Another example: His promise to filibuster a law giving the phone companies legal immunity for any role they played in the Bush's domestic eavesdropping program. Then he not only voted not to filibuster it, he also voted for the law — against the wishes of his backers.
SPIEGEL ONLINE: Do you think that will backfire for the Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections?
Ellsberg: I don't think what Obama is doing is the best way to get votes. But it's the best way to get campaign contributions.
SPIEGEL ONLINE:You were the ultimate whistleblower. In 1971, you leaked the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times, revealing that the government was well aware the Vietnam War couldn't be won. You changed history but were vilified and prosecuted for it. Would you still do it today?
Ellsberg: I wouldn't wait that long. I would get a scanner and put them on the Internet.
SPIEGEL ONLINE: Would that still have the same impact?
Ellsberg: If the Pentagon Papers came online today all at once, the government wouldn't be tempted to enjoin it. Back then, we got this long duel going between newspapers and the government. In the end, 19 newspapers ended up putting up parts of the documents, day after day after day. It created this ongoing scandal. I don't think it would have the same impact online as having it in the Times.

(ATLANTA) -- A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that a single meal from a restaurant or fast food joint can potentially contain 2,300 milligrams of sodium. Since the report entitled "Menu to Mouth: Opportunities for Sodium Reduction in Restaurants" says Americans on average dine out four to five times a week, they are obviously overdosing on sodium, a leading cause of hypertension that can result in heart disease and stroke.
Overall, restaurants are responsible for about 25 percent of Americans' sodium intake.
The main problem with restaurant food, according to the CDC, is that it's already loaded with sodium before diners even pour on their own helping of salt.
Therefore, Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the CDC, said in a statement, "When restaurants rethink how they prepare food and the ingredients they choose to use, healthier options become routine for customers."
As an example, Frieden pointed to a program instituted by Philadelphia's health department, which worked with the city's Chinese restaurants. After nine months, participating restaurants lowered sodium content in meals by 20 percent on average.

FinCEN Releases CTR Exemption Supporting Information Guidance
VIENNA, Va. - The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) today announced the publication of guidance designed to enable depository institutions to more easily determine and document certain business customers' eligibility for exemption from currency transaction reporting.
The guidance - which was recommended to FinCEN in a report issued last year by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and developed in consultation with the staffs of the federal banking agencies - is expected to both ease compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and enhance supervisory consistency. This step complements other changes made by FinCEN in 2008 to the CTR regulations designed to increase the efficiency of the reporting process, including promoting exemptions for reporting that is less valuable to law enforcement. The January 2008 GAO report underscored the value of CTRs for law enforcement investigations, while suggesting certain changes that would facilitate increased utilization by banks of eligible exemptions from reporting.
Today's guidance seeks to clarify for depository institutions and examiners alike the variety of supporting information that is suitable for substantiating that certain business customers that engage in multiple business activities are eligible for exemption from currency transaction reporting. Many businesses produce revenue through multiple activities; however, some business activities, such as certain financial services, vehicle chartering operations, and real estate brokerages, are, by statute and regulation, ineligible for exemption from currency transaction reporting. Nonetheless, various businesses that engage in activities ineligible for exemption also derive revenue from commercial activities, such as retail sales or provision of food services, which are eligible for exemption. Otherwise eligible businesses that engage in multiple business activities may qualify for an exemption from currency transaction reporting provided that no more than 50 percent of their annual gross revenues are derived from one or more ineligible business activities.
This guidance further clarifies that there is no expectation that a depository institution will be able to establish the exact percentage of an eligible business customer's annual gross revenues that is derived from ineligible business activities, but rather that a depository institution must consider and maintain materials and other supporting information that allow it to substantiate that the decision to exempt the customer from currency transaction reporting was based upon a reasonable determination that the customer derives no more than 50 percent of its annual gross revenues from ineligible business activities. Such a reasonable determination should be based upon its understanding of the nature of the customer's business, the purpose of the customer's accounts, and the actual or anticipated activity in those accounts.
T he mission of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network is to safeguard the financial system from the abuses of financial crime, including terrorist financing, money laundering, and other illicit activity. We achieve this mission by: administering the Bank Secrecy Act; supporting law enforcement, intelligence, and regulatory agencies through sharing and analysis of financial intelligence; building global cooperation with our counterpart financial intelligence units; and networking people, ideas, and information.

Chip's Bail-Out Megabucks Winner (Redskins/Cowboys)
Chip's Bail-Out Megabucks Winner (Redskins/Cowboys)
Washington vs. Dallas, 10/13/2013 20:30 EDT, Score: 16 - 31
Point Spread: +6/-115 Washington
Sportsbook: Bovada
Result: Loss
Washington at Dallas 8:30 ET
Redskins (+) over Cowboys- After what we saw last Sunday with the Cowboys faltering in the final stages of a game they could have won against Denver It is difficult to see Dallas coming back strong. The point spread history of this match-up is very one sided as the Redskins have have 'covered' the number their last six trips to Dallas and they are 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings overall. Tony Romo who has 19 touchdown passes and only two interceptions in his last six home games is off his career high in yardage as he passed for 506 yards against the Broncos but turned the ball over when it counted most. Washington's extra time to prepare for this huge rivalry contest give them the edge. Take REDSKINS!

Household Remedies for String Instruments
Contributed by Emily Barkakati, Amelia Giles, and Tea Prokes
Cleaning Your Instrument
Steel wool is an effective way of removing caked on rosin from the strings. Gently wipe the area two or three times between the bridge and the fingerboard with steel wool. It is recommended to use this method of cleaning sparingly as the steel wool can eventually strip the strings.
String and Peg Tips
Chalk can help with slippery pegs. After removing the string, take the loose peg out of the peg box. Apply chalk lightly to the two areas where the peg comes in contact with the peg box. For sticky pegs, some musicians will use a black crayon in the same way to lubricate the peg.
How you wind your string can affect the tension of the peg in the peg box. If your peg is too hard to turn or slipping it can help to change the winding to change the tension accordingly. Consult the figure for further explanation.
A newly changed string can take days to stretch and stay in tune. A simple trick to speed up the stretching process is to rub the string up and down between two fingers. This helps to heat up the string, which in turn helps the string stretch faster.
Miscellaneous Tricks
A large paper clip can be used to tighten or loosen your chinrest. If you aren't careful, it is easy to scratch the varnish behind the chinrest, so make sure not to insert the paper clip all the way through.
Some people find it more comfortable to add additional padding to the bow at the frog. While specialty products are available, you can easily slide a pencil grip or rubber tubing onto the stick and place it wherever is comfortable for your hand position.
A wobbly music stand can be easily fixed. Flip the music stand upside-down and tighten the base bolt with a wrench.

BURBANK - The body of Timothy Bowden was recovered Saturday. The 14-year-old disappeared when the boat he was in sank last Sunday after launching from Hood Park on the Snake River.
Walla Walla County Sheriff John Turner said around 2 p.m. a boater spotted something that looked like a body off Crescent Island near Boise Cascade on the Columbia River.
A sheriff's boat was already in the area searching for Bowden and was dispatched to recover the body.
There is still no report on the cause of the sinking.
There were four other people in the boat at the time who were able to swim ashore.

Review - Waring Commercial WDF75 Review by Guest
Good look and easy to clean. Although this Waring Commercial fryer doesn't even reach a temperature of 350F without any food despite the manufacturer stating 375F. I have bought a commercial fryer to cook crispy seafood and fries but you need 375F to do that. (Posted on 4/20/11)
Waring Commercial Deep Fryer Review by Guest
I bought this for home use after reading reviews of home fryers. Most had slow heat recovery and cleaning difficulty in common. This unit maintains heat nearly perfectly and checks correctly against a thermometer. It has worked wonderfully for me for chicken, onions, and fries. Clean-up is relatively easy as several parts are dishwasher safe. (Posted on 5/17/10)
Waring Commercial Deep Fryer Review by Guest
Waring Fryer low temp Review by Guest
Top quality appearance, but the unit would only reach max temp of 350F, not hot enough for french fries. Returned unit for another and it only gets to 343F. Both have slow recovery. OK for low temp frying, but don't plan on fries with this one. (Posted on 3/26/10)
