Brazilian credit card payment processor Cielo has raised $875m in the debt capital markets, in a sale that saw the low yield and high demand that has become commonplace this year among LatAm's blue chip issuers. Orders for the 2022 bond were heard reaching $6.5bn, with investors drawn to a BBB+/Baa2 rating, strong market share, and part ownership by Banco do Brasil (28.65%) and Bradesco (28.65%), to generate interest at initial mid UST+200bp-area whispers, before bringing pricing...

Jenni Carlson: Things are about to heat up for the Thunder
All right, Thunder fans, now that the boys in blue have won the Northwest Division, it's time to make sure you're ready for the playoffs.
Here are some things you might want to consider in your postseason preparations: playoff tickets, Thunder wear, pompons, foam fingers, ear plugs.
Ear plugs?
Perhaps you've noticed, the on-court verbiage has gotten a little spicy of late.
Even though the Thunder's 112-108 division-clinching victory over the Clippers on Wednesday night was fairly tame, there has been no shortage of hair-curling, eyebrow-raising words these past couple weeks. If you sit anywhere near the Oklahoma City Arena court, you know what I'm talking about. Heck, even if you just read lips fairly well, you know what I'm talking about.
Listen, these guys have never been angels when it comes to their language, but this is a whole new level.
It's a sign of increased intensity and heightened hardiness.
That goes straight to the altar boy.
Kendrick Perkins, you'll remember, served as an altar boy when he was growing up. He wore the robe. He carried the cross. He lit the candles.
Now, the flames he throws are a bit different.
He wears a scowl, he brings a nastiness, and every now and then, he drops a verbal bomb.
Or a cluster of them.
You won't find a nicer, more unassuming guy than Perkins when he's off the court, but put him on the hardwood and you'd think he was auditioning for a Quentin Tarantino movie.
It seems to have rubbed off a bit on Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Co. There seems to be an edge about this bunch now. They can be the community ambassadors off the court. They can kiss the babies. They can shake the hands.
But on the court? Their past two games are evidence of their grit. After tanking against the Clippers in L.A., the Thunder roared back by beating the same pesky Clippers in OKC less than 24 hours after beating back the Nuggets in Denver.
Remember, if the first-round matchups play out as expected, it will be Thunder vs. Nuggets.
Perhaps you saw the sparring that went on Tuesday night between them. Everyone was getting after it, but the main event was Perkins and Nene going forehead-to-forehead. Both drew technicals, but the fact that it didn't go any further is lucky.
"That would've been ugly," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks, who also coached Nene for several years as an assistant. "That wouldn't have been a good thing to watch. I'm glad that nothing happened."
To think, Nene isn't even the Nuggets' resident enforcer. That tough-guy role falls to Kenyon Martin, who let Lakers' fans hear about it when he scored a victory-securing putback last weekend.
Think this playoffs series is going to be intense?
The Thunder played with an edge last season in the playoffs when it pushed the Lakers to six games, but already, this team has a different vibe.
Credit Perkins.
"He's a tough guy who's not a sometimes tough guy," Brooks said. "That's the way he is. He just believes in that style of play.
"It's very authentic."
Perkins even shows up for games with a seriousness that the Thunder hasn't had since moving to town. You almost get the feeling that the rest of the guys in the locker room don't quite know what to make of him.
A week or so ago, I was interviewing Eric Maynor before a game when Perkins arrived. The big man looked so serious, so stone-faced that the reserve guard stopped mid-sentence.
"Perk," Maynor said, "you OK?"
He was all right. He was just dandy. He was in game mode.
Imagine how he's going to be for a playoff game.
This isn't the nice-guy Thunder anymore. You can see it. You can sense it. You can even hear it.
Be sure to bring those ear plugs.

RANGERS chief executive Charles Green has argued his club should be promoted into the second tier of Scottish football if a new 12-12-18 structure follows their inevitable Irn-Bru Third Division title triumph.
The two league bodies and Scottish Football Association have declared that the leagues would be reconstructed on sporting merit alone, should the votes go through, but Green has claimed moving Rangers up beyond most of the current Second Division clubs would be in line with "sporting integrity".
Green also threw his weight behind proposals for a Rangers colt team to join the league and made an offer to guarantee other clubs ticket revenue for 300 away fans should such a deal come into force. In a lengthy statement on the club's official website, Green said: "All things being well, Rangers should win the Division Three title and, that being the case, we should be promoted. That should happen regardless of what league structure the powers that be put in place.
"It would be manifestly wrong to deny any team promotion having won the competition they have entered into at the start of the season. Equally, teams which have been relegated should not benefit unfairly from any a restructuring of leagues.
"The principle of promotion and relegation for the clubs which fall into these categories at the end of this season should be enshrined in any new league set up. So, if, as widely predicted, we end up with a 12-12-18 set up, Rangers should be promoted and this promotion should be to the middle tier."
Under the proposed arrangements, should the new system be approved, Rangers and their Third Division colleagues would join eight current Second Division sides in an 18-team bottom tier. Their anticipated ascent to the top flight would not be delayed.
The Second Division champions would go into the second tier as normal along with one of the next four teams following play-offs. There would be no team relegated from the current First Division. Green claimed there was a precedent after the end of the 1993-94 season when Stranraer were promoted to the First Division after winning the Second Division. That was when three divisions of 12-12-14 morphed into four divisions of ten.
Green added: "There has been no shortage of voices banging on about sporting integrity over the last year but sporting integrity must cut both ways."
The Scottish Premier League clubs have set a date of 15 April to vote on the 12-12-18 proposals, although Scottish Football League clubs have discussed a 12-12-10-10 structure, which would see Rangers promoted to the Second Division as normal rather than having all of their current opponents come with them.
With that idea seemingly lacking support, SFL chief executive David Longmuir last week wrote to his clubs suggesting that Old Firm colt teams be brought in to the new league to provide the extra two teams for the alternative plan.
That intervention was roundly criticised but Green last night appeared to dangle tangible benefits in front of the SFL clubs.
Green, whose club do not get a vote as they are new, associate members of the SFL, said: "The SFL has shown real leadership in proposing this initiative although it should be pointed out that this was not the result of lobbying from this club.
"A Rangers Colts team would add value to the league and other clubs would see their home gates enhanced significantly by Rangers fans, particularly those who lived locally.
"I would also be prepared to guarantee other clubs the ticket revenue equivalent of 300 Rangers fans turning up for matches.
"This initiative would help smaller clubs who have no choice but to generate revenue any way that they can."
Green added: "If the 12-12-18 structure is chosen then I would propose that two additional teams, one a Rangers Colts team, are added to the lowest league."

Some of you may already know that fig leaves are edible, I didn't and thought I'd share with those who also didn't know. Fig trees are dropping their leaves about now but if you still have some on the tree you may want to pick, wash and dry some for tea and cooking. I've used the leaves fresh and dried for tea and prefer it dried and my sister in law also cooks the leaves (she says the smaller ones are more tender) in soups and stews. I haven't done this yet but plan to. There is more information on the internet about using fig leaves, this is just one source. I also read that they can be stacked, rolled into a bundle, cooked and canned. One more source of readily available food for the home gardener.
Views: 608
Judy, something I intended to try this year but had not was pickling them as grape leaves for stuffing. Some old sources indicated stuffed 'fig' leaves rather than grape was the norm - don't know how accurate this is but since they are edible it would make sense to put something in or on them. Had not thought about tea or added to soups and stews. If you have recipes you might post them on the gourmet group. :-)
Judy, I appreciate the info. I want to try lamb or beef stuffed fig leaves on the grill.
Catherine I see a cookbook idea. I think it would be great to have a collection of recipes with edible ingredients you find in Phoenix or Arizona. Then have a section how to grow herbs and vegtables to go with the recipes. I like to pick a spaghetti squash from the garden, throw it on the grill. It's great with butter, salt and pepper on it. It could not be easier.
Grace, I actually wrote two books one on growing edibles in the desert and one on using herbs and spices for flavoring first (before salt and fats).
There are some books out there on using farmers market ingredients.
Here's a thought - what if we asked all VPA members to submit a recipe for something they have grown, and the VPA admin people can publish and sell the book for some income? :-) whadayathink?
Grace, the stuffed fig leaves sound good and I hope you'll let us know how they turn out.
I think a cookbook is a good idea and found a lot of edibles that we can grow here that I was unaware of. Canna lilys are widely cultivated for their starchy roots and I believe are the source of arrowroot and the young shoots are edible as are immature sunflower seed heads that can be steamed and eaten. I have seeds for devils claw that grows wild in the desert and produces pods similar to okra so they'll go into my desert landscaped front yard this spring.
Judy and Catherine,
I think the VPA native edibles cookbook is a great idea. I can't wait to cook up some sunflower hearts. Devil's claw looks like it would be neat for crafting. Maybe using these plants for crafting can be part of the book also.
The cookbook idea will help me focus. I committed myself to writing some articles specific to our Historical Coronado Neighborhood. I thought I would focus on DIY, gardening, crafts and cooking.
Do you know any businesses that do edible landscaping in Phoenix?
Grace, do you mean landscaping contractors who specialize in edibles? I believe the Garden Guy's business does that, and also there is a gal, have to find her info or card (she might be a member here) who helps homeowners with edible landscaping, and off and on I have done consulting for that purpose (but I'm slowing down :-)
Yes I was talking about contractors that specialize in edibles? I also need to make my yard dog and cat friendly. Hehe, I don't want the animals pooping in the vegtables. I was thinking of planting a border around the gardens that the animals can't cross. I also want to free up some space so the animals can run. I would like to make some stucco raised beds
You may want to check into Cyndi Ruehl's business, she teaches classes on edible desert plants and her business may be what you're looking for.
Great link, I like the pictures they have given me a lot of ideas and some direction. I am new to gardening in the desert and I really don't know what I am doing.
When you first set up the garden, Grace, you can do a funny looking but effective deterrent particularly with the cats to keep them out of the bed. Purchase a large quantity of cheap plastic forks, "plant" tines up to the 'shoulder' of the fork about every 4-6 inches apart. The first time kitty's paw hits the tines they will retreat, with no real harm done to them. I read the tip years ago and tried it in a modified baby pool bed - no more problem :-) By the way Smiling Dog is a great company, I have done lectures with them.
Judy, I just got around to looking up the info on edible Canna (new edible to me :-). Wiki has some info on it.
I have a Tropicanna, in checking it out, it is a hybrid. I'm curious now as to whether all are considered the 'agriculture' group. Love to find new edibles that do well here in the desert.
The hybrid question is something I hadn't considered and would be good to know and thanks for the links. I had also read that immature sunflower heads can also be eaten steamed as you would artichoke, probably a lot of "forage" food out there, just need to know what they are.

Col. Daniel Haas, commanding officer of the Recruit Training Regiment, speaks with the new Marines of Fox Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, and Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, after a motivational run Aug. 1, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Haas explained the importance of keeping the values they learned in training after they graduate and return home. Fox and Papa Companies are scheduled to graduate Aug. 2, 2013. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915. Today, approximately 20,000 recruits come to Parris Island annually for the chance to become United States Marines by enduring 13 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for 50 percent of males and 100 percent for females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Caitlin Brink)

Central Minnesotans to unveil their first community driven, 25-year plan for economic, environmental sustainability at Aug. 14 event
August 2, 2012
Central Minnesota's first community driven, University of Minnesota-assisted master plan for economic and environmental sustainability will be unveiled at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 14 at the Arrowwood Lodge at Brainerd Lakes in Baxter, Minn.
On hand will be U.S. Sen. Al Franken, University of Minnesota Extension Dean Bev Durgan and more than 200 residents from Cass, Crow Wing, Morrison, Todd and Wadena counties who directly contributed to the plan's development. The celebration will also include the announcement of "regional champions"— residents nominated by their peers to play a key role in the plan's implementation.
Spearheaded by Extension's Regional Sustainable Development Partnerships program (RSDP) and the Region Five Development Commission, the Central Minnesota Sustainable Development Plan (CMSDP)—locally referred to as the 'Resilient Region Project'— drew heavily on the expertise of university faculty, staff and students. The plan's recommendations target affordable housing, broadband access, demographic shifts, economic development, education and workforce improvement, energy and transportation options, health care access and natural resource management.
Event participants will include Commissioner of Minnesota Housing Mary Tingerthal; Minnesota Commissioner of Agriculture David Frederickson; Minnesota Commissioner of Employment and Economic Development Mark Phillips; U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development State Director Colleen Landkamer; and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office for Sustainable Housing and Communities Director Shelly R. Poticha. A reception with entertainment provided by The Theater of Public Policy will follow.
"Community driven, university-assisted is a theme throughout Extension's work and the driving force behind the university's partnership with the Central Minnesota community on this landmark initiative," says Kathryn Draeger, RSDP statewide director who oversaw the plan's development. "The Central Minnesota Sustainable Development Partnership office will continue to provide resources, assistance and expertise to the implementation of the plan, but it will be the communities—in this case, the project's "Regional Champions"— that will drive the project forward."
The event and reception is free and open to the public. Reservations are encouraged, but not required. Contact Ann Hanson, Region Five Development Commission, at 218-894-3233 for details.
The CMSDP was made possible by an $825,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). RSDP is a unit of Extension that works to vitalize greater Minnesota by addressing community-identified issues. For more information, visit www.rsdp.umn.edu.

As the title says, hey!
I'm Abraxus, first of all, it's a pleasure to be here, I've been a fan for a while, checking in on some of the truly top notch stuff here and I finally figured I'd sign up.
I've played tabletops since I was literally 8 years old, starting off with my Dad and his copy of Runequest. I'm a massive gamer, I love pretty much everything fantasy or sci-fi based. I'm working on a tabletop RPG myself these days and I'm in the process of fleshing out the world. As a result, I've started on map creation. I've never tried it before, but I'm pretty decent when it comes to photoshop, so I'm hoping I'll be able to pick some brains around here for some input and hopefully at some point show you what I'm working on.
I know it's probably a bit cheeky to ask in an intro thread, however, the search button never beats local knowledge on a forum like this, so I'm gonna ask if I can get a little help off the cuff, as I've got several questions that are gonna influence how I do the work that I'm planning.
I'm aiming to have a combination of older worn artistic maps through to more realistic looking ones like Viking's outstanding world map of Skenth. I hope to have a world map in these formats, then a regional map of the 'starting zone' followed up by a town plan for the major locations in the region. I've looked at stuff like the Campaign Cartographer and I've got to admit, I do love it, but the level of detail I need isn't there, so I'm having to go old school on this.
What I'm interested in learning is,
- Is it better to hand draw basic alphas and scan them in for areas you specifically have in mind or would you suggest creating them in PS?
Where do you think the best place I can go for hand drawn brushes, like trees, mountains, etc and if so, what are your favourites?
What tutorials, hints or tips do you have that you think may come in handy? Like I said, level of experience in PS isn't an issue, I'm happy with basics through to bad-ass
How do you like layering up the maps?
I promise that if I do use any of the stuff that's suggested, the author'll get a big mention in any thread or finished work. (oh and I understand, everyone has secrets and they'll not want them getting out, but just general advice is welcomed).

Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - Adam Jones went 2-for-5 with a homer and two
RBI, while Miguel Gonzalez put together another effective outing to carry the
Baltimore Orioles past the Texas Rangers, 7-4, in the second installment of a
three-game series.
Gonzalez (8-3) allowed just one run on eight hits and struck out three without
walking a batter over 6 2/3 innings. It was the eighth consecutive quality
start for the right-hander, and the Orioles' bats backed him with 17 hits.
Brian Roberts smacked a two-run single during a two-hit night, Matt Wieters
had three hits and Chris Davis went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored for
Baltimore, which went 7-for-13 with runners in scoring position.
Both playoff contenders came in with 54 wins, but the Orioles have been
playing better of late, winning six of their last seven games.
The Rangers have dropped six of seven after they were a season-high 16 games
over.500 following a win at Baltimore on July 9.
They may be looking for another starter after their latest project, Ross Wolf,
was knocked around following a short rain delay to start Saturday's game. In
his third career start, Wolf (1-3) was charged with seven runs on nine hits
and two walks and was pulled after failing to record an out in the third

Press Releases
Although soy and menopause have gone hand-in-hand in many Asian countries for thousands of years, in the United States there continues to be debate. You see, the majority of protein consumed in Japan comes directly from soy. However, for people in the United States, protein comes from milk and animal. Because Asian woman have long shown much fewer symptoms of menopause and less severe symptoms, studies have been performed to determine if soy and menopause are indeed linked. The difference is so substantial that Asian women have reportedly had upwards of 70% fewer problems with night sweats than westernized women.
Typically, Asian women consume things such as soy flour, tofu, soymilk, and a number of other soybean derivatives, taking in on average 200 milligrams daily. Now if you look at the habits of Americans, you would see that soy is something consumed but typically by cattle and other livestock. Intrigued with the findings about soy and menopause, massive effort has been made to identify the truth. What we do know is that when a woman is menstruating, high levels of estrogen are produced. However, long-term exposure to these hormones increases the woman's risk of breast cancer and other deadly diseases. When the body stops producing estrogen, she is thrust into menopause.
With soy, the hormones genistein and daidzein are produced that act very similar to the woman's estrogen. Through intense studies, experts believe the soy hormones attach to the woman's estrogen receptors, which then block out the ability for some carcinogenic substances to enter into the organs, thus causing cancer and other diseases. The interesting results indicate that these hormones are received differently, thereby changing the way in which the body responds to the soy. This particular process is not fully understood but what is known is encouraging for helping with menopause symptoms and reducing the risk of certain diseases.
Keep in mind that some of the studies performed indicate that the effect of the soy protein depends on the woman's level of natural estrogen while being consumed. As an example, for a woman still having a normal menstrual cycle, the effects of soy showed little change. On the other hand, for women going through the change of life, it showed that the intake of soy increased the level of estrogen. The result was fewer and less severe symptoms associated with menopause. With this, it appears soy and menopause is a good match.
In addition to the consumption of soy helping with hot flashes, it appears to offer many other benefits. For instance, LDL, or bad cholesterol is also lowered. Again, the reason is not yet understood but somehow, soy helps by keeping the cholesterol within a range considered healthy. With this, the woman's risk of stroke and heart attack is also reduced. However, there is more regarding soy and menopause. Other studies show that the phytoestrogen genistein in soy keeps muscle cells strong, which reduces the woman's risk of developing what is called atherosclerosis, which is hardening of the arteries. More information needs to be conducted on soy and how it really helps women going through menopause but the results in thus far are very encouraging.

Former police chief receives tickets after fight
Deputies issue Gritzner OWI, disorderly conduct tickets
September 01, 2011
GENEVA — Ed Gritzner was the town's police chief for 24 years. Now he may face two charges after his alleged involvement in a Sunday night bar fight at a Lake Como tavern.
On Monday, Walworth County Sheriff David Graves said his department is still investigating the incident. Deputies cited Gritzner, 56, for first-offense operating a vehicle while intoxicated and disorderly conduct. The OWI infraction is a state charge.
Kyle A. Jacob, 34, also received a disorderly conduct ticket for his involvement in the fight. Apparently, no one suffered any injuries which required immediate medical attention.
"Everyone cooperated (with police)," Graves said. "It was over before we got there."
According to Graves, town of Geneva police were called to Freddie's West End Sunday at 11:33 p.m. A town police officer requested backup from the Sheriff's Department.
Apparently, Gritzner and another man fought, then Gritzner left the tavern.
He returned a short time later, while police were interviewing the other patrons. Seven others were in the tavern at the time of the fight.
"We issued (Gritzner) for disorderly conduct because it was a bar fight, the way it sounds," he said.
As for the operating while intoxicating charge, Graves said Gritzner entered a vehicle, left the tavern and drove back. The incident report was forwarded to the Walworth County District Attorney's Office and the investigation continues.
"With (Gritzner) being the former chief, the Walworth County Sheriff's Department took over the investigation," Graves said. This was done to avoid a conflict of interest.
Previous trouble
Gritzner retired as town police chief Dec. 31, 2010.
Although he received a warm sendoff when he announced his retirement at a special Geneva Town Board meeting September 2010, there were two issues with his conduct near the end of his 37-year career.
Gritzner was suspended from duty March 2010 for one day, with pay.
According to the March 16 order signed by the Geneva Town Police Commission, Gritzner "engaged in actions unbecoming of an officer by virtue of him using profanity and engaging in threatening conduct towards a citizen."
In April 2010, then Town Chairman Dan Lauderdale said a local business owner filed the complaint after Gritzner called this person about five times in one day.
On Aug. 7, 2010, there was an alleged altercation between Gritzner and a Town Board supervisor at the town of Geneva Fun Festival.
To date, no town official has made a statement about this incident, but a writer had posted a comment after the event on a Regional News website.
The writer claimed Gritzner "got drunk" and had an altercation with a supervisor.
Editor's note: This online story has been corrected as a factual error was determined after publication of the Lake Geneva Regional News.

Plugger is an open source DDD (Domain Driven Design) Framework written in java that helps people to implement and understand DDD.
It uses Hibernate for the persistence infrastructure and JGoodies Binding to bind the entities to the presentation.
Plugger is primary separated in two parts, the domain and the presentation.
The Domain part helps to build all the Entities, its rules and repositories.
The presentation bind the entities with the view. It implements the PresentationModel pattern using JGoodies Binding and some helper abstract classes.
When a developer starts, he founds different obstacles, like how a program should be programmed and then he starts looking for different solutions. This solution are not always the best ones and can consume too much time and effort. Software development is very complex and this solutions can affect other parts of the code, this puts programmers into constant changes in their programming way until they can create a good and stable code, but with the cost of moving away from their goal, which is to create the business logic.To correct this problem, an experienced developer, has to create secure ways to perform this tasks, in time, this ways have been perfected and documented in books and have become standard patterns to solve specific tasks.One such model is the DDD Domain Driven Design, which is a development methodology which abstracts anything not related to the domain and leaves to the developer the task of developing the business logic in a safe way.
Over the last decade or two, a philosophy has developed as an undercurrent in the object community. The premise of domain-driven design is two-fold:
For most software projects, the primary focus should be on the domain and domain logic; and Complex domain designs should be based on a model.
Domain-driven design is not a technology or a methodology. It is a way of thinking and a set of priorities, aimed at accelerating software projects that have to deal with complicated domains.
To accomplish that goal, teams need an extensive set of design practices, techniques and principles. Refining and applying these techniques will be the subject of discussion for this site, generally starting from the language of patterns laid out in Domain-Driven Design, by Eric Evans.

Santa May Know, But Wafels & Dinges Doesn't Discriminate
Get two new waffles this season on the truck or in Union Square.
Christmas means holiday food specials, and Wafels & Dinges doesn't disappoint. Look for "naughty" and "nice" waffles on the truck, at the Bean, and (through the end of December) at the Union Square Holiday Market, Wafels announced today. The "nice" waffle is topped with whipped cream and coconut flakes, and the "naughty" version is "a sweetened Liège waffle topped with Nutella and melted Belgian chocolate fudge." Naughty wins.

I think I need a mirror, a rack, and some handlebar/seat/frame bags to hold tools, snacks, light jacket. I also need an easy-to-access place for my iPhone. And a bell, of course. What do you like to use and what accessories have you found that fit well on a Vaya? Thanks.

Teen Mom
Farrah Abraham Keeks She's: "All Alone By My Lonesome!" (VIDEO)
Farrah Abraham was this close to finishing up her rehab stint at The Lukens Institute in Florida before getting kicked out, but guys? The timing couldn't have been better, because girlfriend is seconds away from becoming president of Palm Springs' local Lonely Hearts Club.
While our favorite backdoor superstar was having a great time working out her issues and dreaming up fabulous schemes for her new sober-luvin' donut restaurant, there's no denying that she's been lonely. In fact, Farrah took it to Keek (where else?) to tell fans as much, saying "I'm all alone by my lonesome...That's sad. And I'm sad all alone and I can't wait to go home. Bye."
Jul 8, 2013 | Sad but Happy #DinnerAllAlone :( Booooo! by f1abraham on Keek.com
Um, our hearts just broke into a million donut-shaped pieces. We can't imagine how hard it must be for Farrah Superstar to be away from her gorgeous daughter, Sophia, but hey –– at least she has the crispy shoulder of Tan Mom to lean on. You know, Tan Mom? Farrah's biggest rival? Yeah, she's at The Lukens Institute as well. It's a meeting of the minds!
Also, Farrah's entire video was filmed from the comfort of her hotel, where she showed off her room service meal — a delectable combination of spaghetti and meatballs with "warm chocolatey chocolatey brownie with lots of vanilla bean ice cream," for dessert.
Wash that feast up with a bottle of Raspberry Ketones, and Farrah's in business!
Do you think this gal will make it through her last few days in Florida without passing out in a pile of fudge from loneliness? Weigh in below!

Glee Spoiler: Which Grads Are Returning for the 100th Episode? (UPDATE)
UPDATE (12/4/2013): Good news, folks! Harry Shum Jr. and new mom Heather Morris have both filled up their dance cards for the milestone episode! Murphy tweeted that "Harry is IN!" on December 4, and later that day wrote, "Heather is IN for Glee 100th!"
Original story: Fantastic news from the land of Glee! Creator Ryan Murphy is currently planning the show's landmark 100th episode, and he's invited back all of the original cast members to participate. The show-stopping ep will be Season 5, Episode 12, and it's likely air on Tuesday, March 18, 2014. A number of them have said yes already, and Ryan's quickly taking to Twitter to announce which ones.
On November 3, the Glee boss tweeted, "ALL The Glee Originals received invites today to be in our 100th episode! More to follow."
Barely a couple hours later, he gave the first update. "Amber is IN for episode 100! More to follow..." Of course, we really didn't have any doubt that Amber Riley (Mercedes) would want to participate. Therecently-crowned Dancing With the Stars winner has returned to the show many times in the past.
A few hours after that, Ryan wrote, "Mark is IN for the 100th! More great news coming..." Mark Salling's (Puck) return also doesn't surprise us one bit, and we're pretty sure that Harry Shum Jr. (Mike) will be back, too.
However, we can't say the same about Heather Morris (Brittany). After giving birth to her son, Elijah, in late September, Heather seems to be leaving acting behind. But surely she could make it back for just one more episode?
Also up in the air is Dianna Agron (Quinn), who made headlines earlier this year for saying she wasn't asked to be a part of Glee's Season 5, Episode 3 tribute to the late Cory Monteith (Finn). Well, Di, it appears you've been asked this time. Ryan still hasn't commented on Dianna's status, but sources tell TVLine that the actress very much wants to be a part of the show. She just has to make sure that she's available on the dates they need.
Who's In:
Amber Riley (Mercedes)
Mark Salling (Puck)
Harry Shum Jr. (Mike)
Heather Morris (Brittany)
Who's Not:
No one so far.
Dianna Agron (Quinn)

No, sometimes, more often than you might think, the difference maker is one of the old-heads coming off a perfectly timed screen heading along the baseline just as the pass arrives to meet him at the three-point line as he steps back and fires quickly, instinctively, because he just knows every beat in this measure.

Earlier this week, I headed out for one of my usual 3-5 mile runs along the water downtown. It was a gorgeous morning, not too hot yet and relatively quiet for our little town. As I hit the place that I usually loop back to where I started, I was feeling really good and decided to keep going and head over the huge bridge here out to the beach, adding 3 miles on. I huffed and puffed up and over that bridge, enjoying the breeze and and burn in my legs. I ran 7 miles for fun. I know, I know…I run a lot and I do it because I enjoy it. But in the past, I ran in high school for a team. I did it because coach said to whether I liked it or not. I loved and hated it. When I was in college, I ran because I was neurotic and was obsessed with burning calories. When I took up running regularly again a couple of years ago, I needed to register for races to keep me motivated. I obsessed over time, pace, distance. I was training and that kept me going. For the past few months, I haven't trained for anything. I haven't had a coach to tell me what I was going to run today whether I like it or not. I haven't a clue how many calories I consume or burn. And I stopped running with a watch. Now, I do it for me. I do it because it's a beautiful day. I do it because I can and someday I won't be able to. I do it because it feels good. I go when I feel good and I stop when I am done. It's been really freeing.
You may have noticed I haven't blogged in over 2 months. Apparently I don't do well with expectations, imposed by others or by myself. I can be stubborn like that. I feel too much pressure to do something all the time and do it really amazingly or not do it at all. I guess I hit the don't do it at all phase.
I got a job.
Every morning, I drop my kids off at school like I always have and now instead of coming home to go for a run, do laundry and mop floors or go for coffee with friends, I go to work. It has been just over a month now and I am just starting to get used to it. It's been a really weird transition for all of us, but good weird. I feel so grateful for the years I was able to stay home with my babies and watch them grow, guide them, and savor them. Once they were in school every day this school year, I felt a sense of purpose evaporate from my being. My reasons for being home vanished. I was fortunate enough to find a perfect job for me (I'm social media girl and using my writing and photog skills) and my schedule. I quite literally work just the hours my kids are in school. It was truly a blessing when this opportunity came up and it was one I couldn't pass on.
For the weeks since I started, I have slowly tried to find a groove. I get up earlier now so that I have time to get my kids ready and get myself ready. How easily I slipped into a life of taking my kids to school looking a bit like a raggamuffin. It has been interesting finding the right balance of household stuff and work stuff. Just this past week, I finally felt like I could breathe and really enjoy this new place I'm at in life. For a number of reasons, the first couple of weeks were tears-inducingly overwhelming. But I finally can settle in and feel like I'm doing something for me – that benefits my whole family.
But finally, I'm feeling like I can actually juggle more than one role at once. I can pack lunches, drive the mommy bus, go to work, and still find the bottom of the laundry hamper once a week. Somehow, I feel like by becoming busier outside the home, I have more time for other things as well. I know I don't actually have any more time than I did before. I just seem to be more willing to make it. I have started running with a friend one evening a week. I find myself making more time for me and with that has come happier everybody. Funny how that works.
I know there is no job more challenging and rewarding than the one I did right here at home for 6 years. I also know that I often felt under appreciated and under valued for the job I did day in and day out. But when I see my kids blossoming at school, doing the right thing, smiling regularly and in general being people I am so proud of, it tells me that I did the most important thing I could then and I am doing something really important for all of us now, too. I know there should be no war between mommies that stay at home or go to work. I know there is no one answer except the one right way for each family. It feels good to be doing something for me that is right for our family right here and now.
I have missed being here in this space and hope that now that I can breathe a bit more, I'll be here regularly again.

Southwick History
The last time I remember seeing Avery Southwick was as a young boy, when at least once a year the family would make a trip to the Richmondville, N.Y. area for a weekend visit. These were not the easiest of trips considering they were made in 1929 and 30 Fords and with at least two spares, extra tubes, tire irons and a lot of tube patch material. In those days it was a venturious trip, at least five or six hours compared to two hours now. Once every two years or so the Southwicks would make the same trip, in a 1929 Chevrolet, to visit us.
Avery was a jovial type who like to tell stories and sometimes a good joke. I don't know if Avery had any relatives in the area, anyway I never heard mention of any. He was married to Mary Acker, my mothers (Hattie Mae "Acker" Hoose) sister. There were three children in the family, Elenore, Florence, Rosemary and one younger girl who was a foster child or adopted. I should, but I can't remember her name. Elenore and Florence were about six to eight years older than me. Rosemary and I were about the same age and we got along well. I am not sure if Avery was the father of these children or if they were from a possible earlier marriage by Mary Acker.
The Southwick Family worked on or managed several dairy farms in the area and in his later years Avery was employed by the Town, County or State Highway Dept. At that time they lived in Richmondville. Avery passed on around the mid 60's. Mary, after Avery's death lived in Middleburg, N.Y. and worked as a seamstress out of her apartment until she passed, probably in the 70's or early 80's.
The girls I think stayed in the area, or at least not too far away, married and raised families of their own. It seems I can remember being told that Elenore and her husbund owned a camp ground somewhere around Cobleskill. That is the last I heard anything of the Southwick Family.
How ever since the publishing of this Web Site in 2002 information has been sent to me from family members thatn I had lost touch with. I now know that Mary Acker's first husbands name was Edwin Scutt Rivenburgh born 11/12/1899 and died 05/10/1928. He married Mary E Acker on 09/05/1920. Edwin and Mary had three children.

A man walking his dog discovered a dead body in Forest Park in Queens on Sunday morning.
Police arrived at the park just before noon on Sunday when they met the dog-walker who said his dog came upon the body of an unconscious man.
The body was found along the south edge of the park, near Freedom Drive and Park South Drive, wearing blue jeans and brown boots. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Identification has not been released and the investigation is ongoing.

DPS909 – week 4 – Initial Project Plan September 27, 2009Posted by Andor Salga in Open Source, Processing.js.
This blog post marks the official start of my work on the Processing.js project.
What Is Processing.js?
Before getting into the details of Processing.js, Processing must first be discussed. Processing is a Java-like language developed by Ben Fry and Casey Reas to allow designers and animators to quickly and easily learn scripting and render animations. The project also encompass an environment, specifically the PDE, the Processing Development Environment. The PDE is simple and very easy to use. It offers only necessary features and makes development relatively painless. The combination of the simple language and environment create a perfect gateway for introduction to programming. Some high schools and universities are actually using the language to teach introductory programming. Processing has been used in commercial applications and is currently supported by volunteers.
With all the elements in place (HTML5, the canvas tag, and JavaScript) Resig decided to port the Processing language to where he felt it belongs. The language itself was not changed, but a new JavaScript library was developed to parse and render processing code.
One of the most powerful aspects of Processing.js is that it runs on all leading browsers including FireFox, Opera, Safari and even IE (with the help of ExplorerCanvas). That's quite significant seeing how any one of these can be written quickly and rendered on a friend's system without concern about browser compatibility or absent plug-ins. That, is really cool.
Where We Come In
As it stands, many of the 2D functionality Processing offers has been emulated with Processing.js. Albeit, there are still some empty functions which need implementation as well as missing 3D functionality which needs to be completed. This is where we come in. We have been given the opportunity to work with the library to add/fix/modify existing Processing.js code.
I decided to join this project because I have a strong interest in rendering and graphics. I have some experience with rendering on the Web from working on C3DL and hope some of what I learned can be integrated into this project. Conversely, I hope what I learn from working on Processing.js can later be incorporated back into C3DL.
Since this project has eight students, staying connected, collaborating and keeping everything organized is that much more important. We will stay connected via IRC on the #seneca and #processing.js channels. We will collaborate and stay organized using our blogs as well as Processing.js project page on Zenit and the project task list on MDC. If face to face meetings are required, we will book the CDOT T1042 meeting room.
How Will I Slay This Dragon?
With duct tape. I'll try to put the scant good programming practices aside and try the duct tape approach. Get it done. Get it out the door. Blog about the success.
Release 0.1
Dave suggested we each pick two tasks which require implementation and complete them for 0.1. He suggested one task should be simple just to get some practice and get our feet wet. I scanned the last few tasks and saw mag() among some math functions, I looked up the Processing reference pages and saw it's a magnitude function which returns the length of a 2D or 3D vector. I figured I could handle that. Next I chose the ambientLight() funciton since that's quite simple too. I soon realized it would be difficult to test that function since there is no means to even draw a 3D object! After talking to Dave, he told me I would have to add a couple of categories and complete those first. So, for 0.1, I have signed up to first port the existing C3DL code to use WebGL instead of the Canvas3D plug-in. Since it's been a while since I have worked on the setup and initialization part of C3DL, doing this will refresh my memory. It will also give me a chance to jot down the steps required to get a 3D context ready for rendering.
Release 0.2 and Onward
I know my plans will drastically change, but here are my goals for the next few releases:
For 0.2, I plan to get some 3D objects rendered. Rendering a cube is more complex than rendering a point, but should be easy enough a task to liken my success. If successful, I will take on other important tasks such as getting the matrix stack working. I will accomplish this by making use of the C3DL code, referring to OpenGL books, bugging people on IRC, blogging about problems I encounter and reading the variety of blog posts online. Using the duct tape approach, I will know I'm successful when what I wrote is mostly working without crashing. Then I can post a blog about it and move on.
0.3 onward might include implementing lights. There are a three standard lights in the realm of 3D graphics. These are directional lights, point lights and spotlights. Each of these have components including diffuse, ambient and specular colors. Implementing this is almost a whole other project. I know this because it involved so much work when I implemented it in C3DL. Then again, I may be able to extract large portions of the code from C3DL. If I manage to reduce coding time because of this, I'll adjust and try to take on more tasks.
There is something very exciting about working with technology which has zero published books. On one hand it's frustrating because you must rely on blog posts and IRC which isn't as reliable. On the other hand, it's very exciting! I am very thankful I am able to work on this project as it truly is innovative and cutting edge technology. I love Seneca.
There is a whole lot of learning which will be required of me to accomplish my goals. Most of which will likely involve reading books, man pages, blogs, wikis and talking to IRC folk. I figure I will be spending my time on most on these pages :
Processing Reference
Processing.js Reference
Ben Fry and Casey Reas interview
MDC – Processing for the Web
Mozilla build instructions
Git – to learn about Git.
John Resig
Vlad's blog
WebGL API – Because without API docs, I lose my sanity.
HTML5 canvas tag
Drawing to the Canvas tag
Has Canvas – for examples
Collaboration and Contribution
Because there are eight students writing blogs about Processing.js, it may catch the interest of someone who has some spare time who might be interested in helping. I think as long as we give credit to anyone helping us and
One requirement in this course is that we must collaborate with other students and help them with some task. Finding another student who needs help shouldn't be a problem. I think we'll all run into problems soon enough. In our last group meeting, we decided five of the eight of us will be working on 2D functions and the rest will work on 3D functions. So helping another student with 2D content will be a nice break from 3D when I get stuck on bug.
Possible Resistance
My main concerns I have going into this project is how I will manage to get everything completed on time. I will have to stay organized and diligent as I work on this project. I do have an affinity for the project, so just knowing I can work on it will be enough incentive to sit down and code. Albeit, with new technology, there are always bugs. I already got an e-mail a few days ago about problems with the canvas tag behaving incorrectly. I know I will run into bugs and I will do my best not to work in isolation. If I discover a problem or get lost on some task, I will write a blog post about it and hopefully my peers will be able to help me.
My largest fear is taking up this project and not being able to complete my allotted work or being late in my releases. The ORI/CDOT can be a quiet facility, especially at 3AM, so making use of the research area overnight will likely have to be done sometime during the semester. That's a last case resort. Hopefully careful time management and planning will prevent such a need.
I already began working on 0.1 and should have something ready when the time comes!

Lupe Fiasco and Ed Sheeran would rather listen to vinyl, just FYI.
Nostalgia, huh? It gets to everybody after a while, and hip-hop veteran Lupe Fiasco is no exception. In fact, Lupe's feeling extra-nostalgic in his just-released "Old School Love" video, the lead single off his fifth studio album, Tetsuo & Youth (out in 2014).
Featuring a cameo from British pop crooner Ed Sheeran, "Old School Love" is kind of the musical equivalent of your dad telling you that in HIS day, he had to walk 10 miles to and from school, in the snow, uphill both ways. Only Lupe's delivery is much less grumpy, so we'll keep the eye-rolling to a minimum.
Watch Lupe Fiasco's "Old School Love" video featuring Ed Sheeran after the jump.
Directed by Coodie and Chike, "Old School Love" features some cheeky animated shapes that happily bounce and swirl around behind black-and-white footage of Lupe, who's rapping about the finer points of the '80s, '90s, and vinyl while sitting on a plastic-wrapped couch.
As Lupe strolls and drives around what could be his childhood neighborhood (and hangs out on said plastic-wrapped couch with Ed Sheeran!!), he throws in some DIY-looking home footage of young kids playing outside.
Are these old home videos of Lupe himself? It's unclear, but either way, Lupe's nostalgic walk down memory lane is working. Suddenly WE only want vinyl over YouTube and "reel-to-reel" over Pro Tools! (We also wouldn't say no to some vintage "TRL" goodies. HINT.)

I learned of the trapping program last year from Raptor Center staff, but
the set-up time required might still give a window of time in which to see
an owl, provided we check on a regular basis.

Swans at First Avenue, 09/20/11
September 20, 2011
First Avenue
New York No Wave luminaries Swans provided an ominous soundtrack to either the end of the world or the beginning of a new one at First Avenue on Tuesday night. Their thunderous, two hour-twenty minute set both rewarded and punished their longtime fans with a scathing, volatile wall of sound and noise that tested the boundaries of both what a song can truly be and whether the listener's ears can even take it. It was a sinister study in tension and release at the highest possible volume, a controlled volatility that proved to be utterly captivating and entirely all-consuming.
The show began tranquil enough, with chimes tolling amid a roiling bass line. The rest of the band joined in one by one, each adding their own menacing musical flourishes before frontman Michael Gira came out and all hell broke loose. Gira was the malevolent conductor of this insistent, stentorian orchestra, turning the somewhat serene start into the howling wail of a hundred banshees, which continued on relentlessly for a full half-hour. It was a stupefying start, which eventually morphed into technically the first song of the evening, "No Words/No Thoughts," with Michael pounding his foot and his guitar in time with the deafening dual rhythm generated by Phil Puleo and Shearwater's Thor Harris.
Gira was also joined by original Swans guitarist Norman Westberg, longtime member Christoph Hahn on guitar, and Chris Pravdica on bass, all composing a doom-laden drone that was impossible to escape from. After the din of the first number died down, Gira jokingly addressed the predominantly male audience, "Thank you, girls, thank you." And with that, the band was off on the pummeling sonic pandemonium that is "Jim," which proved to be one of the standouts of the set. Gira again teased the audience, saying "What a beautiful bunch of women you are. Couldn't you have at least brought some boys along?" This bit of between-song levity was quite a welcome respite, because it was nice to not have him screaming at us ALL night.
Seven of the eight songs played during the set were drawn from either last year's fantastic LP, My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky, or a forthcoming Swans record slated for release sometime next year (hopefully). And while that might upset their hardcore fans who were hoping to hear more of their early work, that really isn't the trip Gira is on now. He is onto something totally new and dynamic, a sound that only he truly knows where it's going or where it will end up, but he's generously inviting his audience along to find out where he's at now. New song "The Apostate" found Gira's shirt totally open as he was lost in the moment, with him looking disheveled like a No-Wave Bukowski, leading us into the grime and decay of this ferocious number as he slapped himself silly while singing away.
Another new track, "The Seer," featured a simmering, slow-buring start before the propulsive number erupts into a flurry of noise and feedback. The only old track played on the night was an intense, blistering version of "I Crawled," which absolutely slayed the audience. Gira was tearing at his mouth while singing, as if the space he needed to share these weighty words wasn't big enough for them to escape. It was a captivating moment, and provided vivid proof why this seminal band captured everyone's attention in the first place.
It wasn't all brilliance, mind you (there were some droning moments and indulgences that went on a bit too long), but even the missteps eventually built to a sonic splendor, as if the band had to find their way through the dissonance in order to get to the discord they were after. Before introducing the band, Gira took one last opportunity to chide the audience, "It's nice to see so many indie-rockers here tonight. Pitchfork reading indie-rockers." That was met with a lot of "fuck you's" by the crowd, who were all plenty old enough to remember when the term tastemaker didn't exist.
"We have two more songs. I hope that isn't too much for you," Gira announced before the long intro to the new track "Avatar." And while some of the curious, casual fans had left by this point (nearly two-hours in), everyone else was rooted to the floor, stunned by the sounds they were hearing. "Avatar" featured more threatening chimes, echoing the explosive start of the show. The track had a slow, forbidding build-up, before the band unleashed a blistering sonic eruption at the end. The main set drew to a menacing end with the highly-charged "Eden Prison," which echoed the dark work and gripping storytelling of Nick Cave.
It was such a superb rendition that I felt the band should skip the encore, but when Gira came out in his trusty cowboy hat I knew we all needed to hear more. And while Gira skipped the whole first verse of "Little Mouth," in favor of a lengthy, volatile intro, he brought the song to a dramatic close with his haunting vocals. Gira left us with these words of gratitude, "Thank you so much, children. We worship at your feet." And indeed there was something truly spiritual and otherworldly about this performance, but it was quite a bit more menacing than the sacred services I'm familiar with.
Critic's Bias: I hadn't seen Swans since the '90s, but I hadn't forgotten about them either.
The Crowd: Full of diehard fans that were thrilled to be seeing Swans again, mixed in with those just curious to hear what this hellfire was emanating from First Ave.
Overheard In The Crowd: "Louder. Faster. Take off your shirt." It was the only thing I heard from the crowd during this deafening show.
Random Notebook Dump: I thought it was very poignant that, other than the instruments, the only adornment anywhere on the stage was a lone music stand for Gira, the mad conductor of this musical mayhem.

The Stand to Open for Funnies and Foodies
Delicious laughter.
A comedy club with an atypically decent restaurant inside called the Stand is in the works around Gramercy Park. Owners Patrick Milligan, Cris Italia, Paul Italia, and David Kimowitz, who own Cringe Humor and CH Entertainment, have hired Seth Levine as the chef de cuisine. Levine is currently working on an "upscale comfort food" menu. Expect a late April opening date. Hope no one chokes!

CORNELIUS – Bad weather didn't sway more than 100 people from participating in the Lake Norman Senior Fun and Fitness Day to promote fellowship and healthy living.
The Mecklenburg County, Huntersville, Cornelius and Davidson parks and recreation departments and Charlotte Mecklenburg Senior Centers organized the eighth annual event, which had 140 registered participants. It took place April 15 at Jetton Park, featuring health vendors, a fitness walk, exercise class demonstrations and lunch.
"Seniors love it," said Joey Bruce of the Cornelius department. "It's nice to be able to come out and enjoy the park, meet people in the community and feel out the classes."
Among classes demonstrated were chair exercises, line dancing and tai chi, which are available through the senior center or towns' programming.
North Mecklenburg Senior Center Director Joanne Ahern said keeping active helps adults stay healthy, safe and independent, plus events like Senior Fun and Fitness Day "give them a chance to get out for fresh air and not be so isolated."
Sandra Hoyt and Agnes Babboni, of Cornelius, have been attending the event for years.
"You see the same people and meet new people," Hoyt said. "It's very informative for seniors. It's important to know things that are going on that you don't hear about, and it's a positive event for seniors."
The pair doesn't limit themselves to only the fitness day to be involved. Both have found other ways to stay active. Hoyt prefers taking advantage of senior center offerings, adding that when she moved to the area, she couldn't join fast enough. Babboni has found other programs, including pickleball and garden club.
"The Y has OWLS that comes and does programs and you can meet oodles of people and you fall into other things," she said. "There is so much to do in this area that is free or inexpensive."
Jessica Boesmiller, healthy living coordinator for the Y, said the Older Wiser Living Stronger community outreach program at area churches offers trips, lunches and classes for seniors. Plus the Y has another program that allows attendees to exercise and meet with a dietician and nurse.
While at her booth, Boesmiller had attendees playing balloon volleyball.
"Their heads and hands are up the whole time and it's good physical activity they don't event realize they are doing," she said. "They are engaged. It's sneaky fitness."
Other vendors offered games and prizes while giving out information.
"There are a lot of resources for the community and this lets them know what's available," Dr. Seth Moliver, of Moliver Chiropractic, said of the event.
His office provides a way to take away some of the pain to improve the overall quality of life.
"If they stay healthy, they can live longer and be able to care for themselves," said Chantal Bilodeau, fitness specialist for Huntersville Family Fitness and Aquatics. The facility offers senior programs with exercises, water aerobics and other activities. They also have a group that goes out to lunch each week.
Huntersville police offered information about avoiding identity theft.
Members of the Cornelius police department also gave safety information, getting people involved in a program where people put medical and medication information in a specified canister in their freezer for emergency personnel to have access to if they ever have to respond to the home. Those interested in participating can call Officer Ronnie Messer at the police department.
"It's good for police and seniors to get together and share information," Messer said of the importance of participating in senior day events.
Plus, residents are able to get out and have an enjoyable time being together.
"Seniors think they can't do things, but this is evidence of all that they can do," said line dance instructor Cindy Cook. "It makes them healthier, stronger, living and loving life."

Florida doctors will be allowed to ask their patients about gun ownership after a federal judge on Friday ruled a law barring physicians from questioning patients about weapons in the home is unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke blocked the law from going into effect last year after three groups of doctors sued Gov. Rick Scott over what they called the "doctor gag law."
On Friday, Cooke ruled that the law is unconstitutional because it violates the First Amendment freedom of speech rights.
"This law chills practitioners' speech in a way that impairs the provision of medical care and may ultimately harm the patient," Cooke wrote in her 25-page

Chemical Spill Inhalation Risk By Associated Press • Jan 6, 2015 AP A study says federal officials overlooked risks of inhaling licorice-smelling fumes from a chemical that spilled into West Virginia's biggest water supply. The Purdue University study says some people became ill after flushing their pipes of the chemical last January. The spill spurred a tap-water ban for 300,000 people for days. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention marked a baseline for how much chemical-laden water people could drink safely. It didn't consider other contact methods, like bathing or breathing. Study: MCHM Could Be More Toxic Than Previously Thought By Dave Mistich & Associated Press • Jul 10, 2014 AP Listen Listening... / 1:59 A new study shows a chemical that spilled into West Virginia's biggest drinking water supply in January could be more toxic than a previous test indicated. But the researcher behind the study cautions there are differences between his tests and earlier studies. University of South Alabama researcher Dr. Andrew Whelton released the findings Thursday from crude MCHM toxicity tests on freshwater fleas. Panel Deems CDC Screening Level for MCHM 'Safe', Establishes Own 8 Times As Strict By Dave Mistich • Apr 1, 2014 Dave Mistich / West Virginia Public Broadcasting Independent researchers working together on the taxpayer-funded WV TAP project have already released an expert odor analysis for Crude MCHM, and have delivered the findings of their 10 home testing pilot project. However, the public has repeatedly called for an understanding of potential health effects from the January spill of Crude MCHM by Freedom Industries. Experts Say Lingering Odor Means Crude MCHM Remains in Water System By Dave Mistich • Mar 18, 2014 Listen Listening... / 3:47 Researchers involved in a taxpayer-funded, independent water testing project in response to the January 9 spill by Freedom Industries began releasing findings earlier this week. The project, known as WV TAP, is currently attempting to determine the odor threshold for the chemical in question—crude MCHM. They are also investigating the safety factors applied by the CDC in determining how much chemical can be in water and still be called safe to drink. Dr. Michael McGuire is conducting odor analysis panels to determine at what levels Crude MCHM can be smelled in the water. Results released Monday from an expert panel conducted by McGuire put that number at 0.15 parts per billion (ppb). Researchers took time Tuesday to answer questions about the first round of studies that have been released. Expert Nose Has Ability to Detect MCHM 'Far Greater' Than Current Testing Methods By Dave Mistich • Mar 17, 2014 Researchers involved in the independent, taxpayer-funded testing project known as WV TAP say results from a single expert panel show that Crude MCHM can be detected by an expert human nose when analytical methods used in testing the water indicate non-detect levels. Months Later, West Virginians Remain Wary Of Water That Smells By Dave Mistich • Mar 13, 2014 Transcript ROBERT SIEGEL, HOST: From NPR News, it's ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel. MELISSA BLOCK, HOST: And I'm Melissa Block. WV TAP Researchers Say Initial Sample Collection Complete, Need Additional Funds By Dave Mistich • Feb 21, 2014 Dave Mistich / West Virginia Public Broadcasting The two scientists leading the West Virginia Testing Assessment Project, or WV TAP, following the Jan. 9 chemical spill into the Elk River near Charleston provided an update on the project Friday. The briefing was held in a Department of Health and Human Resources conference room in downtown Charleston. Dr. Andrew Whelton and Jeffrey Rosen spoke to reporters and said they have completed gathering samples of 10 homes across the area affected. Samples from both hot and cold water were taken. In-Home Testing After Elk River Chemical Spill Launches By Dave Mistich & Ashton Marra • Feb 11, 2014 Ashton Marra / West Virginia Public Broadcasting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin announced Tuesday the West Virginia Testing Assessment Project for residents in the nine counties affected by the Jan. 9 chemical spill into Elk River. The project, which will make use of $650,000 from the state budget according to Tomblin, will be conducted by independent scientific experts under the direction of Dr. Andrew Whelton, assistant professor of environmental engineering at the University of South Alabama, and Corona Environmental Consulting.
