text: Smart-Grid Technology Powers Price Breaks from Utilities Demand-response capabilities level out the spikes during peak periods 08.04.2010 by C.C. Sullivan * required fields From* To* Message cancel Today utilities are giving building owners and tenants price breaks on their electrical service if they use so-called smart grid systems. These appliances and engineered systems can communicate with the electricity provider as part of a demand-response (DR) program, curtailing use and reducing the need for additional generating capacity. "There is significant impetus, as well as financial incentive, to implement a smart-grid system for those willing to guarantee the demand reduction," says Terry Hoffman, director of marketing for building automation system (BAS) manufacturer Johnson Controls, Inc. "On a much larger scale, the smart grid connects energy users to a two-way system that communicates pricing information in one direction and usage patterns in another." While these new tools, in aggregate, will make the electrical grid more efficient and orderly – reducing blackouts and saving up to 8.8 billion kWh annually within two decades, according to the Electric Power Research Institute, they also raise an opportunity for leaner, greener facility operations, says Hoffman. Using well-integrated BAS systems with smart-grid technology, a building can become more efficient and cost-effective. A number of organizations with large facility portfolios are investing heavily in smart-grid solutions. The U.S. Postal Service, for example, is installing advanced monitoring and control systems by the provider GridPoint in 2,250 locations nationally. According to the USPS, these use-curtailment technologies – including energy-management systems and submetering tools – will help the agency cut facility energy consumption by 30% by 2015. Local government agencies, which operate under tight budgets and dwindling tax revenues, are also looking to demand-response equipment, especially when utilities help pay for the installation. The County of Santa Clara, CA, has retrofitted two government buildings to participate in a Pacific Gas & Electric program offering incentive payments for participating in smart-grid DR. Existing thermostats in the municipal buildings were decommissioned and replaced with wireless thermostats from Cypress Envirosystems that are able to communicate with the grid. The potential of the smart-grid solutions and their impact on BAS technology have attracted the attention of leading engineering and building operations groups. Unusual alliances have resulted, such as the July agreement between Chicago's Building Owners and Managers Association and the Korean Smart Grid Association along with two of South Korea's largest energy and technology companies, KT Corporation and LG Electronics. The team announced their plan to use a dozen city office buildings to create a "virtual generator" – that is, enough electricity savings to offset the need for a new power plant – to achieve more effective energy management and save on energy costs. The BOMA Chicago pilot program is likely to be replicated in other cities. In a nutshell, the alliance employs smart meters, variable-speed drives and digital controls to push down energy consumption while also sharing revenues from utility DR programs. "This will be the first-ever test of the ability of large commercial and residential buildings to effectively aggregate their efforts in a large-scale demand response program," says BOMA/Chicago's executive vice president, Michael Cornicelli. Success stories like these facility rollouts are priming an already fast-growing "cleantech" market, encouraging upgrades to BAS components and networks. According to a recent report by Boulder, CO-based Pike Research, "Networking and communications technologies are at the core of utility smart-grid deployments, and have been the focus of significant attention and fierce debate by industry players." The analyst forecasts annual shipments of smart-grid communications nodes jumping from 15 million last year to 55 million by 2016, a total market of about $20 billion. Past the communication nodes, facilities are outfitted with smart meters, which transmit usage data – typically on an hourly basis – to the utilities servicing the properties. Power use to building mechanical and electrical systems is then controlled by smart thermostats, which allow utilities to cycle power on and off for central HVAC systems, as well as smart switches, which can be activated remotely by the electricity provider. A number of appliances are outfitted with the meters or switches, or both, such as lighting controls by makers such as Lutron and washer-dryers made by General Electric. "Building automation will allow you to control skylight shading, window blinds, HVAC, lights, vents and even micro-generation plants such as solar panels, fuel cells and diesel generators," says Andreas Antonopoulos, a founding partner with Nemertes Research, Mokena, IL. "This could allow you to adjust your energy consumption and local generation patterns in response to pricing and also hold out the possibility that organizations will be able to sell energy back to the grid." In spite of the rapid success of smart-grid systems, there are a few challenges. One of those is the concern that smart-grid communications nodes are vulnerable to security breaches, similar to computer and Internet hacking incidents. An article in the January issue of IEEE Security & Privacy by a team led by Himanshu Khurana at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign concluded, "Although researchers have spent considerable time on smart-grid cybersecurity issues, major problems remain unsolved." The authors stressed that solutions offered by utilities – authentication and encryption technologies specifically designed for smart-grid applications – may still need additional work before they meet the robust level of security demanded by many building operators. For the time being, building professionals will weigh the benefits of increased efficiency and more reliable power against the prospect of security risks. C.C.

I saw a NYC park ave. doctor for a rhinoplasty consult. He charged me a $250 consult fee but turned me down for surgery because I asked too many questions and supposedly was too hung up on the result I expected. He proceeded to charge my insurance and additional $200...nothing medical was done or discussed at this consult..strickly cosmetic conversation. I had already seen him at his other ENT practice where he charged my insurance $700 for sticking a probe down my nose.
Should Doctor Return $250 Consult Fee if He Turned Me Down for Surgery?
Doctor Answers 3
Doctors Have a Right To Charge for their Time
Your consultation fee was for the undivided time to discuss your goals, perform an examination and evaluation of your features, and analyze if you will be a good surgical candidate. Although some surgeons with the economic downturn do not charge a fee for a new cosmetic consult they are certainly able to and also deserving of it. In essence you are paying for his time. If you went to ANY other type of physician you would be expected to pay for their professional opinion even if they felt that you did not require treatment, or that they felt the match for what ever reason (usually unrealistic expectation) as he/she should be paid for that time with you.
Should Doctor Return $250 Consult Fee if He Turned Me Down for Surgery?
I personaly don't charge for a consultation but some doctors do. If you knew in advance that there is a charge for the consult then the doctor does not have to return the payment since he took his time to see you. I still would have probably given you the fee if you were persistant about it! Good Luck

Consultation Fees
Some surgeons opt to charge patients a consultation fee, some do not. However, if the patient agrees to paying this fee ahead of time, there is an understanding that the consultation represents the surgeon's time and is totally acceptable. Likewise, a consultation is not an implicit agreement to have surgery. If a surgeon is ethical, he/she has every right to refuse to do surgery if it is not in the patient's best interest to have a procedure. My practice generally does not charge a fee primarily because the overwhelming trend in SW Florida is to offer free consultations.

William Carey News
The Hattiesburg Campus of William Carey University has a new mailing address. The address is now:
710 William Carey Parkway
Hattiesburg, MS 39401
The actual location of the campus has not changed, only the mailing address. Faculty and staff should update records to replace the old Tuscan Avenue address with this new address.
Carey Dinner Theatre (CDT) will continue in the summer of 2017 despite the fact that the Tatum Theatre was heavily damaged and its support facilities totally destroyed in a tornado on Jan. 21.
The first step in continuing its rich tradition is the selection of performers and other personnel. Auditions for cast and interviews for crew for CDT's 42nd season are Saturday, April 8 beginning at 10 a.m. in the College of Osteopathic Medicine, Room 112, on the Hattiesburg campus of William Carey University.
William Carey University student Jacob Malone is the 2017 recipient of the Michael Iler Memorial Music Scholarship. Malone is a sophomore music education major from Wilmer, Alabama. The Iler Scholarship is given on an annual basis to a worthy instrumental music student. The recipient is selected by the coordinator of instrumental activities and the other instrumental professors. The Iler Scholarship was established in memory of Carey student Michael Iler of Vancleave who died in March 2014 as a result of injuries sustained in a car accident caused by an alleged drunk driver.
The William Carey University School of Education has received a grant to provide training for teachers in several coastal school districts.
WCU received the $97,139 Improving Teacher Quality grant under Title II of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. This is the third year Carey has received a grant through the program, and the second consecutive year the grant has been based on WCU's Tradition campus.

The Global Conference on Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change opened today at the World Forum in The Hague, the Netherlands. The Conference is organized by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation, the Netherlands, in cooperation with Ethiopia, Viet Nam, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, the World Bank, and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The Conference is intended as a follow-up to the Shared Vision Statement agreed at the Seventeenth Session of the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD-17) in May 2009 and to further develop the agriculture, food security and climate change agenda.
The Conference is expected to produce a roadmap for action linking agriculture-related investments, food security and climate change. The Conference was opened by Henk Bleker, Minister for Agriculture and Foreign Trade, the Netherlands, who called for a prominent role for agriculture at the Sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC COP 16) in Cancun, Mexico. Jozias van Aartsen, Mayor, The Hague, suggested that mitigating climate change is a way of achieving the goal of eradicating hunger. HRH Willem-Alexander, Prince of Orange, in his capacity as the Chairman of the UN Secretary-General's Advisory Board on Water and Sanitation, underlined the linkages between water issues and food security, agriculture and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In a video message, HRH Prince of Wales emphasized the importance of resilient agricultural systems and the need for a holistic approach to food production, encompassing the economic, social and environmental dimensions. Andrew Steer, Special Envoy for Climate Change, World Bank, called for increased investment and financing for agriculture and underlined the possibility of increasing financing flows to developing countries through carbon finance.

The Department of Interior recently released its Crown Jewels report, which recommends Congress designate certain public lands as national conservation or wilderness protection areas.
"Preserving America's beauty through public lands is something that makes our country special," said Todd Keller, senior manager for public lands campaigns for the National Wildlife Federation. "Many of these areas identified in DOI's report boast broad support from recreation interests, members of congress from both parties, local citizens and local elected officials. This announcement is a win for wildlife, a win for sportsmen, and a win for jobs in the recreation economy."
The National Wildlife Federations is greatly encouraged by the release of the Crown Jewels report and urges federal lawmakers to take action and pass legislation to safeguard these special places. The San Juan Mountains, which are listed for protection by the Department of Interior, are a key example of a beautiful backcountry area prized by sportsmen and women around the country. The public lands listed in the report provide economic benefits, recreation and opportunities for people to connect with nature in communities throughout the United States.

The Slice: Today's forecast? Warm and fuzzy
Mon., Oct. 28, 2013
Jim Malm was inattentively watching the news when he saw a KXLY "Coats 4 Kids" promo graphic.
For a split-second, he thought it said "Cats 4 Kids."
Malm couldn't help but wonder if that might make for another good program.
Channel 4's Kris Crocker, the face of "Coats 4 Kids," is a longtime dog person, if memory serves. But maybe she would be willing to tackle "Cats 4 Kids," too. She could do the weather while holding an animal shelter feline. And children could email suggestions about what to name the pet waiting to be adopted.
Stormy? Snowflake? Graupel? Bermy? Chainup? Mr. Plow? Furcast? Isobar?
Just a thought.
What you say vs. what they hear: Liz Hively was telling her 5-year-old granddaughter, Laila, about baseball's World Series. But the little girl must have been skeptical because she wanted to know what was so all-fired "serious" about it.
(The Slice had a similar item in October 1996. The kid who confused "Series" and "serious" back then is now old enough to vote.)
The Candy Man can: "If you ever ask your readers to submit their life's simple joys, please add mine," wrote Steve Cromwell. "Finding one last M&M tucked away in the corner of the bag when I think I've eaten them all."
Halloween costume ideas: 1. The bald guy with a fussy beard and glasses who has insights. 2. Marmot Girl. 3. The part-time actor who doesn't understand why Hollywood hasn't called. 4. The guy who refuses to say "Zags." 5. The woman who knows her neighbors. 6. The guy who won't admit to the real reason he is angry. 7. The guy who mentions his volunteering. 8. The guy who doesn't use his real name. 9. The woman who wants you to know she used to be hot. 10. Spokane's best parent.
Spokane fatigue: Steve Heaps knew he had a case when he became "desensitized" to letters to the editor from a certain S-R reader with a keen interest in gun rights.
Today's Slice question: What was the name of the long-gone dog you think of when accidentally flipping a scoop of ice cream onto the kitchen floor?

Review/Film; A Garden Of Secrets, Sordid Ones
By JANET MASLIN
Published: August 3, 1990
Sexy, humorous, possessed of great elan and very much in demand with women, the screenwriter Dan Gillis has a lot of appealing qualities not normally associated with Jeff Goldblum, the actor who plays him. With his intense, buggy gaze and his skittish manner, Mr. Goldblum was an inspired choice for ''The Fly,'' and by some will be forever remembered in that capacity.
Nevertheless, out of place as he is in ''Twisted Obsession,'' Mr. Goldblum also manages to be unexpectedly attractive, although the only clear-thinking character the film has. ''Twisted Obsession,'' which opens today at Worldwide Cinemas, presents Mr. Goldblum as an American who lives in Paris and who is greatly sought after for his screenwriting abilities, thanks in part to the efforts of a wry, devoted agent named Marilyn (Miranda Richardson). One day, on a visit to a producer friend named Legrand (Daniel Ceccaldi), Mr. Goldblum's Dan Gillis becomes interested in a project that is very different from the ones to which he usually gravitates.
Legrand introduces Dan to a small, surly and very young aspiring English director named Malcolm (Dexter Fletcher), whose chief claims to fame are the red muffler he affects in even indoor settings and the beautiful sister named Jenny (Liza Walker), who is in some dark way his muse. Malcolm, who admires Dan's writing, hands him a two-line quotation from ''Peter Pan'' and calls it the basis for a potential screenplay. Dan takes full notice of the pouty 16-year-old Jenny and magically finds himself with inspiration to spare.
The film spirals from this starting point into a series of revelations about the sordid secrets of all concerned, defying belief well before it is finally over. As its tacked-on title may indicate, ''Twisted Obsession'' (adapted from a novel called ''The Mad Monkey'' by Christopher Frank) isn't afraid to be gratuitously lurid, sometimes without much purpose. Nor is it afraid to be cheap. ''I guess you guys played me like a violin,'' the famous screenwriter says at one point.
Fernando Trueba, who adapted the novel with his co-screenwriter, Manolo Matji, and turned its European protagonist into an American for no clear reason, gives the movie a fashionably brooding atmosphere and softness of purpose that serve to emphasize the extreme self-importance of most of its characters, at least when it comes to their thoughts about film. Mr. Trueba also resorts to fade-outs or abrupt cuts whenever his scenes have no distinct endings. Sometimes this is mildly stylish, and at other times rather painful, as when Dan's young son sees his father engaged in a sexual act with Jenny, whom the boy does not know. The next moment, father and son are in bed, with the little boy looking stony. ''Can't sleep, eh?'' the father inquires.
Dan is also accorded dream sequences, several more than the film really needs. ''Me, I wasn't in the dream. Maybe . . . I just didn't exist,'' he reflects after one such episode.
Mr. Goldblum acquits himself surprisingly well, despite such touches. Also memorable are Mr. Ceccaldi, as a producer who keeps an Andrei Tarkovsky poster on his wall but makes no bones about his definition of art, and Miss Richardson, as the disabled agent who flirts with Dan from her wheelchair and eventually pronounces his screenplay ''childlike, sad, useless and beautiful.'' If ''Twisted Obsession'' measured up to that, it would be much improved.
Twisted Obsession
Directed by Fernando Trueba; script by Mr. Trueba and Manolo Matji; director of photography, Jose Luis Alcaine; edited by Carmen Frias; music by Antoine Duhamel; produced by Andres Vicente Gomez; released by IVE. At Worldwide Cinemas, 49th Street and Eighth Avenue. Running time: 103 minutes. This film is rated R.

Home Maintenance: Change Your Filter
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air is two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. Gross, huh? The good news is that there are some simple—but often overlooked—aspects of home maintenance that can really make a difference in your home's air quality. And since it's fall, we wanted to remind you that this is the ideal time to implement one of those home maintenance routines, by changing your furnace filter. (User fragiletearz even had "change filter" as one of the monthly tasks on her savvy housecleaning schedule, though she may have been referring to an air conditioning filter instead of a furnace filter!)
To find out how to change your furnace filter, just
First, determine whether you have a common filter or a HEPA filter.
Changing your common style filter is simple. Just slide the old one out and slide the new one in. Be certain that the air flow arrow points toward the furnace or blower motor.
Changing a HEPA-style filter is a little more difficult, but still not that hard. All you need to do is open the front of the media housing and slide the old one out and slide the new one in. If your model requires pleat spacers, make sure that they aren't damaged, and replace them if they are.
Check out the full instuctions at Filters America. After you figure out how to change the filter, go to Low Impact Living to find a variety of green air purifiers and furnace filters.


text: Now, honestly i was a bit disappointed by this tea. I opened the packaging, i was very impressed by the tight rolled leaves and the bright green fresh leaves. However, after the initial brew which often seems to be the most powerful, i really didn't get much. Almost to the point of just warmed water with a very subtle flavor. I chalked it up to maybe a bit over temp. I tried a second steeping, but to little avail. I am not sure if it was supposed to be as mellow and subtle as it was but i definitely noticed a lighter color but a more pronounced taste. It was very very subtle. I still have more for another try, but i honestly just wasn't impressed. Maybe after another try i might get a different result, but i am happy i tried it nonetheless.

In Austin, TX, today at the SWSW conference, Dell introduced the Dell Precision M2800, a 15-in. mobile workstation it says offers ISV-certified and optimized performance and dependability at a breakthrough price. Starting at $1,199, which Dell says is the lowest price available for 15-in. mobile workstation, the M2800 is intended to bridge the gap between business-class laptops and mobile workstations by offering an affordable ISV-certified system with professional graphics and processors.
The Dell Precision M2800 can be configured with fourth-generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, AMD FirePro W4170M graphics with 2GB of dedicated GDDR5 video memory, up to 16GB of system memory and up to 1TB of storage. It also features a 15.6-in. UltraSharp display available in HD or FHD (1920 x 1080), external multi-monitor support and docking compatibility to simplify the transition from the road to a desk-based workspace.
The M2800 will be ISV-certified for engineering design applications, including Autodesk AutoCAD, Inventor and Revit, Dassault Systemes Solidworks, and PTC Creo. In addition, the M2800 comes with Dell Precision Performance Optimizer (DPPO) which it says automatically adjusts system settings for optimizing specific applications.
Many designers and engineers are not realizing the full potential of their professional software because they are using a business or consumer-class PC instead of a workstation, said Andy Rhodes, executive director of Dell Precision workstations in a press statement. We are filling that gap by introducing a new mobile workstation at a price that lets more professionals and students maximize their software while on the go. This is the right tool to help more people design and deliver innovations faster — no matter where they are.
The M2800 will be available to customers and channel partners worldwide this spring. For more information, visit Dell.

Several studies continue to monitor for the degree of drug resistance seen in untreated persons. This monitoring is one set of information useful for not only describing the consequences of ongoing HIV transmission, but guides clinicians in the potential for needing a resistance test to guide the initial regimen, a practice that is still not considered standard.
This study reported on 61 recently infected people in North America, most of whom presented for care in the New York City area, and some from Montreal, Canada. Overall, they reported that 26% had some degree of potential resistance to at least one medication. However, when focusing only on high levels of resistance more likely to interfere with the expected potency of medications, about 7% showed a >10 fold loss of sensitivity to at least one medication based on phenotypic testing. This included higher level genotypic resistance to the non-nucleosides, nucleosides and protease inhibitors seen in between 5-10% of persons overall. They reported on three people whose virus contained mutations to multiple classes of medications.
This report continues to provide monitoring of the consequences of ongoing transmission. Those on medications and doing well on them are less likely to have resistance -- thus, it is worrisome that some will start with a virus that is likely to be more difficult to treat. This report fits in with many of this type that suggest this problem may continue to worsen over time. This also suggests that newly-infected people may be candidates for early resistance testing as the likelihood of identifying resistance appears to be increasing, and clinically these strains may be ultimately much more difficult to control.

Big-Name Playwrights, Still Bargain Tickets
By CAMPBELL ROBERTSON
Published: June 14, 2007
The Signature Theater Company, the 16-year-old Off Broadway theater that dedicates each season to the work of one American playwright, announced yesterday its next four seasons, which will feature plays by Edward Albee, Charles Mee, Suzan-Lori Parks and Tony Kushner.
What could possibly upstage a group like that? The announcement that, continuing on the success of the previous $15-a-ticket seasons, every seat for every play during all four seasons will cost $20.
For the last two seasons Signature charged $15 for every seat through a deal with Time Warner, the lead sponsor of the ticket initiative. (When shows are extended, tickets go back up to the normal price, which was $55 last season and will be $65 in the coming four.)
James Houghton, the Signature's artistic director, said the ticket initiative was an unambiguous success, with all productions selling out, some within 48 hours. According to surveys conducted at the theater, half of the ticket buyers were new to the Signature, a quarter earned less than $50,000 a year, and a fifth were under 35.
''We worked very hard to reach audiences and communities that just don't think about going to the theater because they've been priced out,'' Mr. Houghton said at a news conference.
Mr. Houghton would not say how much money Time Warner pledged to be the lead sponsor for the next four years. (''A lot'' was as specific as he got.)
Margot Adams, a board member, is also a major sponsor.
More money must be raised to keep tickets this cheap until 2011, Mr. Houghton said, but he added that the Signature was about four-fifths of the way there.
''We need quite a bit more, but we were far enough along that we felt we just had to move forward,'' he said.
And so what will $20 get you?
Mr. Mee will be the playwright in residence for the 2007-8 season. The first production, to open Aug. 7, will be ''Iphigenia 2.0,'' Mr. Mee's reinvention of Euripides' play about the sacrifice Agamemnon must make before going off to battle. (Mr. Mee has taken a similar approach to the classics in plays like ''Orestes 2.0'' and ''The Trojan Women 2.0.'') Tina Landau will direct.
The next two productions are world premieres: ''Queens Boulevard (the musical),'' a work inspired by Indian dance-theater that will be directed by Davis McCallum; and ''Paradise Park,'' to be directed by Daniel Fish.
The last production of the season will be Mr. Albee's ''Occupant,'' about the sculptor Louise Nevelson. That play was part of the 2002 season, but the run was cut in half when the star, Anne Bancroft, contracted pneumonia.
The 2008-9 season will be dedicated to writers of the Negro Ensemble Company, including Charles Fuller (''A Soldier's Play'') and Lonnie Elder (''Ceremonies in Dark Old Men''). Ruben Santiago-Hudson, who directed the acclaimed production of August Wilson's ''Seven Guitars'' at the Signature last year, will help present the season with Mr. Houghton.
Ms. Parks (''Topdog/Underdog'') will be the resident playwright for the 2009-10 season, and the year after that --Signature's 20th-- it will be Mr. Kushner.

For further assistance on proper waste evaluation,
call the UMD Office of environmental Health and Safety 726-7273.
Screw cap bottles:
Stoppered or corked flasks and bottles are
unacceptable. The contents of these containers should be over packed
into or transferred to a screw cap bottle using a fume hood, proper
protective equipment, and secondary containment. Bottles with
broken or cracked screw caps are also unacceptable. Note that there are
exceptions to using screw cap bottles and some of these are listed
below. If there are problems in transferring the waste to the suggested
container for disposal, contact our office at 726-7139 for assistance.
CAUTION: Wastes
from different sources (i.e., reactions or processes) may react
dangerously when mixed. Mixtures should be stored separately.
Original Label
Unused or outdated chemicals that are in their original containers with
labels identifying the contents are suitable for waste pickup by boxing
the containers and affixing a copy of the waste
disposal request form to the box. The completed waste form provides
the words "Hazardous Waste" and the date. If the original label appears
faded or illegible, affix a new label to the bottle.
Most Common Chemical Collection and Packaging Problems:
The following chemicals should always be packed in separate boxes:
Caution: Some potentially explosive
chemicals, identified as shock sensitive, "xxSS" (DDC), and certain
chemicals that react with water violently to produce flammable or toxic
gases, identified as water reactive, "xxWS" (DDC), require special
handling. For assistance, contact our office at:
Caution: Perchloric acid, fuming nitric
acid, and fuming sulfuric acid are strong oxidizers and are exceptions
to these procedures. If spilled, they might react with newspaper
or cardboard. They should be packaged separately in a plastic
bucket with a lid and surrounded by kitty litter, floor dry, or sand.
Laboratories generally have only four storage
areas for their reagent (non-waste) chemicals: flammable, acid, base,
and other, but there are several notable exceptions to this simplified
segregation scheme (e.g. nitric acid). Check compatibilities using this
Registry DDC system or Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
Tubs and Trays can be used to separate chemicals within cabinets and on
storage shelves.
Fill out the following information: name, phone
number, email address, date, department number, building number, and
room number. Building numbers and department numbers can also be
obtained from the Chemical
Registry Page. Use these numbers rather than names. If your
location is not listed, call 6764 for assistance
The waste packing form is designed to have
information about one container or component of a mixture per line.
Drum Designator Code (DDC) and Chemical
Abstract Service (CAS) numbers. These numbers can be found in the Chemical Registry.
NOTE: The on line Registry is much more
extensive than previous hard copy versions, so it is recommended that
you use it, especially if you cannot find your chemicals listed in the
older version.
Chemicals not listed in the Chemical Registry
Prepare for pickup as follows:
Chemical Mixtures
Commercial (Trade Name) Products
Unknown or Unlabeled Chemicals
It is the responsibility of each generator (shop
or laboratory personnel) to follow the guidelines given in this
Guidebook for evaluating, packaging, and labeling chemical wastes. By
signing the waste packing form, the generator is stating that the
procedures outlined in this Guidebook have been followed and the waste
is ready for pickup. Make sure you sign your hazardous waste packing
form before sending it in!
After taking inventory of the box and packaging
the waste, submit the Waste Packing Form as
Collection by the Chemical Waste Program
Typically, laboratories and shops can expect their
waste to be picked up within one to two weeks of sending in the waste
packing forms. If you have concerns about the timeliness of your waste
collection, or your waste has not been picked up within three weeks,
call the EHSO at 726-7273, or 726-6764 or e-mail at email@example.com, Include the tracking
number from the upper right-hand corner of the waste packing form,
along with the generator name and department when requesting the status
of your order. Experiment Stations have collections
scheduled at less frequent intervals
Figure 2: Pure
Chemical Wastes
Figure 9 describes nine separate containers of
pure chemical waste in one box. Drum Designator Codes (DDC) and
Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) numbers are listed in the Chemical
Waste Registry, Appendix I. Note that the first four containers hold
chemicals which are potentially recyclable. For chemical wastes that
consist of mixtures of chemicals, commercial products, or
unknowns see fig 10 and 11.
Figure 3: Chemical Waste Mixture
Figure 10 describes two bottles, each filled with
the same chemical mixture. For each component of the mixture, the Drum
Designator Code (DDC), Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number,
compound name, and the approximate percentage are listed. Note that the
pH of the liquid mixture is indicated on the waste packing form.
Figure 4: Waste Pure, or Commercial
Figure 4 shows a single container of a commercial
product waste. The product name, catalog number, manufacturer's name,
address, and phone number, the approximate age of the chemical, and the
DDC and CAS numbers are listed on the waste packing form.
Note: If a Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) is available for a commercial product waste, it should be
attached directly to the waste packing form.

ASK A QUESTION What is chulis?
2 Vote
3 Answers
We use it in Spain as great, cool
I saw this thread and was wondering if this was anything like "chulo" which I have heard some to mean "cool" or "sexy". Just wondering.
- In Mexico, it could be, but "Chulo" for a grown man could be either "Pimp" or "Homo." For a woman, it is its original meaning of "Cute." So you could a woman "Chulis" meaning "Cute." "is" is a common suffix - JulianChivi Apr 8, 2011 flag
- ie: "Oye, mi chulis, te ves bien guapa el día de hoy" - JulianChivi Apr 8, 2011 flag
- Thank Julian. :) - Jason7R Apr 8, 2011 flag

The Gallup Panel is one of the few research panels that is representative of the entire U.S. population. All members of this proprietary in-house, probability-based panel are recruited via random digit dial (RDD) methodology or address-based sampling (ABS). These proven methods ensure scientific integrity and results that can be accurately projected to the total U.S. population for unmatched confidence when you are making crucial decisions.
With the advent of the Internet, the term "panel" has become synonymous with opt-in web panels. Opt-in panels consist of a list of individuals who have signed up at a website to take surveys, often in exchange for prizes or incentives.
The Gallup Panel is very different from opt-in panels. The panel uses multiple survey modes (mail, web, SMS and phone) to reach the right audience and the best research mode for each person to accurately report their opinions. Gallup's methods result in more accurate representation of the general public and higher quality responses.
The Gallup Panel includes approximately 100,000 individuals. Currently, 80,000 panel members complete surveys via the web. Gallup recruits new members on an ongoing basis to replenish demographic segments that have left the panel.
Gallup maintains extensive profiles for each panel member to use for custom research, target low-incidence populations, gain in-depth understanding of a particular industry or social issues, and track longitudinal changes in member behavior and opinions.
Gallup Panel research can help our clients with various projects, including the following topic areas:
Social Research-Based Consulting
- studying the attitudes, values and behaviors of specific populations
- gauging reactions to major current events or issues
- tracking public opinion
- understanding the effect of current or proposed legislation and policy
Market Research-Based Consulting
- defining discrete market segments
- tracking brand awareness, acceptance and engagement
- assessing key market drivers and testing concept validity
- developing or refining key product positioning and messaging
Custom Research-Based Consulting Applications
- developing and managing custom panels for ongoing proprietary research
- studying and tracking a sample group

Just like humans, spiders begin as babies and end as adults.
Follow the spider and learn what happens at each stage of
the spider's life cycle.
The stages in the life of a plant or animal make up what
is called the life cycle. The word "cycle," just
like in bicycle, refers to something that is in a circle.
The stages in a life cycle repeat from one stage in life to
the next, until they come around full circle.
Think of the life cycle of a human being. First the baby
develops inside the mother's uterus. The next stage after
birth is called infancy, followed by childhood, and then adolescence
(the teenage years).
Adulthood is the stage at which physical growth of the body
is complete. Adults can become mothers and fathers and have
children. Old age or the later years are the last stage in
the human life cycle.

A private school is an independent educational institution which does not receive funding from public sources or the government. Families who send their children to private schools including parochial, religious, or boarding schools must pay tuition. Some private schools offer scholarships for qualified students with financial needs.
Most private schools are Christian or Catholic schools, but they may also be non-religious charter schools, as well as preparatory (prep schools) schools, or private K-12, middle schools and high schools. These schools are not required to meet the accreditation standards of public schools and instead operate under various accreditation guidelines. Charter schools, in particular, are often focused on meeting the needs of a specific group of students, and their curricula may differ substantially from that of nearby public schools in the same local area.

Basle (Sep. 12)
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
Dr. Chaim Weizmann, leader of the international Zionist movement, was reelected president of the World Zionist Organization and Nahum Sokolow was reelected chairman of the Zionist Executive at the Saturday night session of the Fifteenth Zionist Congress which ended here late at night.
The reelection of the new Executive and particularly the composition of the Jerusalem Executive marked a definite victory for the proposal advocated by the American Zionist delegation and came after an all night session which lasted until six o'clock this morning. The deliberations were frequently interrupted to call caucuses of the separate groups to obtain their support for the American proposal.
Dr. Weizmann, president, Nahum Sokolow, chairman, Dr. A. Eder of London, Felix Rosenblueth of Germany and Louis Lipsky, president of the Zionist Organization of America, were elected members of the Zionist Executive in London.
Miss Henrietta Szold, honorary president and founder of the Hadassah, American women's Zionist organization; Harry Sacher, English jurist resident in Jerusalem and Colonel Frederick H. Kisch were elected as the members of the Jerusalem triumverate which was given wide power in the administration of Zionist affairs in Palestine. Miss Szold is the first woman to be elected to the Zionist Executive.
It was the difficulty to reach an agreement on the choice of the Jerusalem triumverate which held the congress in the throes of a crisis for over a week and called for the holding of a special session on Saturday night. The victory for the American proposal was obtained due to the fact that the representatives of the Palestine labor groups refrained from voting, thus making it possible for the American proposal to be passed.
The delegates of the Mizrachi, the Orthodox wing of the Zionist movement, the Zionist Revisionists, the Radical Zionists and several minor factions voted against the proposal. Weizmann and Sokolow were elected by a vote of 113 to 54, while the members of the Executive were elected by a vote of 83 to 62.
Following the announcement of the results of the election, the represent atives of the Palestine labor organizations expressed lack of confidence in the new course of the Executive.
The Saturday night session which witnessed the victory of Weizmannnd of the American Zionists' proposal for an efficiency executive was held in an irritating, nervous atmosphere. The delegates, tired from the all night session and recalling the last moments of the Fourteenth Zionist Congress when the Zionist assembly disbanded without electing an Executive, and also under the pressure of the Palestine crisis, were anxious to avoid recurrence of the same situation as two years ago.
The victory of the Weizmann administration and the American Zionists' proposal which virtually introduces in Palestine a dictatorship of 3. eliminating party and faction rule, emerged through the labyrinth of political maneuvers common in democracies, through the persistent, tireless negotiation carried on by Dr. Weizmann. The situation changed from hour to hour, at one time it being probable that the new Executive would be elected by the center group in alliance with the Right Orthodox wing, and an hour later it became most likely that the Executive would he elected due to the vote, or lack of vote of the Left labor wings.
The session was often interrupted to provide breathing space for the group leaders to drop old agreements and assume new negotiations.
At the beginning of the session the Congress voted on the proposals of the organization committee laying down the rule that officials of the Zionist administraton should not be eligible for election to the Actions Committee. This rule would also include the officials of the Jewish National Fund, the Palestine Foundation Fund and the Colonial Trust. The labor representatives employed all methods of parliamentary procedure attempting to sidetrack this issue. They then introduced an amendment to the resolution to include in the category of the inelligible also the officials of the Hadassah, the Zion Commonwealth and the United Palestine Appeal in the United States. When this amendment was adopted, the general Zionists introduced an amendment to include in this rule the officials of the labor institutions, Ha'mashbir, Solol Boneh and the labor bank. The labor delegates then offered a new amendment to the effect that the ongress recognize in principle the ineligibility of Zionist officials for membership in the Actions Committee but refer the issuance of specific regulations to the Actions Committee.
This amendment was defeated on the motion of Vladimir Jabotinsky, the labor leaders exclaiming ironically that this was Jabotinsky's first victory at the Congress. The session was then interrupted for a meeting of the Committee on Commmittees which was to consider the proposal of an alliance between the center group and the Mizrachi, eliminating the Left.
While the negotiations were going on the session was reopened under the chairmanship of Kaplan, the Congress voting on the resolutions of the colonization committee. The vote was a very stormy one concerning the question of whether or not the Zionist colonizing agencies are to include individual contracts with the settlers or with representatives of their society, Nir, as advocated by the settlers and labor leaders. Several roll calls were demanded before the resolution was adopted calling for individual contracts. Berl Katznelson, labor leader, declared when the vote was announced that the labor groups considered the vote as having shown "deep hostility to labor" and has prevented an understanding between the classes in Palestine. "We pledge ourselves to continue to increase the power of Palestine labor," he declared.
Wrought to a high pitch of excitement, the labor delegates rose and sang Hatikvah, the other delegates joining in respect to the Zionist hymn. Suddenly Dr. Weizmann appeared, asking the chairman to declare a recess for half an hour. It was learned that the Mizrachi representatives in the Committee on Committees had declared the party's final decision to vote against the Executive and that Dr. Weizmann had undertaken new negotiations with the labor groups.
At 4:30 Sunday morning Dr. Motzkin reopened the session. The delegates waited with suspense for the statement of Dr. Weizmann concerning the result of his negotiations with the labor groups. Weizmann, in his statement in accordance with Congress rule, outlined the program of the new Executive, it having been understood that the Palestine labor groups would refrain from voting, thus enabling the American Zionists' proposal for a Jerusalem triumverate to gain a majority. In his statement Dr. Weizmann declared "that the apprehensions of the labor groups with regard to the proposed Executive have no ground and that there is no reason to consider this move as hostile to labor. The Executive recognizes the labor federation and its institutions as the legitimate representatives of Palestine labor. The Executive obligates itself to employ only union labor. The Executive will be bound by the budget as adopted by the Congress and wishes a free hand, within the limits of the statutes, to make reductions in necessary cases. The Executive will seek to coordinate the work and to effectively control, within the limits of the statutes, the Zionist funds, the Keren Hayemeth and the Jewish National Fund. In addition, the Executive will seek to raise, outside of the budget, a budget for unemployment aid on a large scale," Dr. Weizmann declared in outlining the policy of the future executive.
When Kurt Blumenfeld, chairman of the Committee on Committees rose to announce the list of the proposed Executive, M. M. Ussishkin, head of the Jewish National Fund, whose ire was aroused by the mention of control with regard to the Jewish National Fund asked for the floor. The chairman, Dr. Motzkin, refused him the privilege on the ground that there is no discussion during the vote. Ussishkin and other delegates protested that the Weizmann program statement was being accepted without a debate. "You want to overpower the Congress and to impose upon us a program without debate." Deputy Gruenbaum exclaimed.
It was finally decided that the debate be opened on Weizmann's statement. Ussishkin, who was then given the floor, attacked the new Executive and sought to safeguard the inteests of the Jewish National Fund. "Do not allow the new people to ruin the old and sound institutions," be appealed to the delegates. He charged that Harry Sacher, the proposed member for the Executive, has demanded a change in the statutes of the Jewish National Fund. He protested against what he termed "surprises" and "secret negotiations," concluding his appeal "Save the Jewish National Fund, the only healthy institution."
Rabbi Berlin, speaking in behalf of the Mizrachi, supported Mr. Ussishkin. He charged that Weizmann has two statements in his pocket, one suitable for the Orthodox Mizrachi if the agreement would have been reached with them and one suitable for the labor group if the agreement is reached with them.
Deputy Gruenbaum attacked Harry Sacher as "a man unknown to Zionists who dictates his conditions wishing to play the role of a small Mussolini in Jerusalem." He exclaimed, "Beware of an Executive which had to be begged to take over the conduct of a ruined undertaking."
The debate lasted until six o'clock when the elections were held and the new Executive chosen. While the majority rendered an ovation to Weizmann and Sokolow, the opposition delegates heckled the leaders, declaring that they obtained only a small majority due to the retirement of the labor group.
There was, nevertheless, general satisfaction that the crisis in the Congress was averted and that a repetition of the Vienna Congress closing was prevented.
The result of the elections was announced with the dawn of the morning. Immediately the reprsentatives of the opposition groups ascended the platform to submit declarations in behalf of the factions. Sharp words fell in the irritating atmosphere. When the labor groups expressed their lack of confidence in the new Executive, the opposition leaders charged them with insincerity as having come with belated statements. The labor leaders replied that it was because of their devotion to the vital interests of Palestine that they decided to give the Weizmann executive a fair chance and to save the Congress from a deadlock.
Berl Locker, speaking on behalf of the Poale Zion expressed dissatisfaction with the situation. His party has no confidence in the new course, he stated. He was frequently interrupted by the Mizrachi delegates. He concluded by saying "Labor will survive the concentrated attack of the bourgeoisie and will avert the danger threatening the Jewish National Fund." At this someone exclaimed, "You will succeed just as with the Jewish Agency."
Kaplan, speaking in behalf of the Hitachduth, stated "that the Congress was a disappointing one. The middle classes have broken down, labor will prepare itself to capture the Zionist Executive at the forthcoming Congress," he said.
Rabbi Meyer Berlin, speaking in behalf of the Mizrachi, expressed lack of confidence in the new executive which he termed "alien to the people, free of Judaism and without an economic program." His party, which declines responsibility for the new Executive, has voted unanimously against it, he stated.
Zalman Rubaschow, speaking for the Poale Zion expressed complete lack of confidence in the Executive, which, he stated was hostile to labor.
Dr. Arlasaroff attempted to read a declaration, but the delegates prevented him, several Americans exclaiming. "Enough time has been wasted. Where is the chance you promised the new Executive?"


text: Politics 27 June 2011 The feeling on the street is that Greek society is crumbling at the edges Paul Mason, economics editor of BBC2's Newsnight, presents an eyewitness report from Athens Sign up for our weekly email * You don't have much peripheral vision when your eyes are stinging with tear gas, but something at the edge of mine is bugging me; by the third or fourth baton charge there is definitely something low, yellow, oblong and unusual in the crowd. For a moment I panic: they've unleashed police dogs. But then it hits me that not many police dogs wear anarcho-syndicalist collars and look like Scooby-Doo. It is Loukanikos ("Sausage"), the world-famous Greek riot dog . . . I've been down at the campsite of the indignados (a word borrowed from the Spanish). At about 9pm, Syntagma Square in central Athens fills up with as many as 3,000 people. They sit cross-legged and draw lots to see who is going to speak, in the agora tradition. They debate, discuss, always politely and without rhetoric; they are beyond that. Their demographic is like a Greek version of Glastonbury: young students; people with nose piercings and tattoos; the young salariat; old professors. The most interesting thing about the indignados movement is their political make-up. Apart from some leftists and anarchists who have mingled in, they are people who were not active before. They stay studiously aloof from mainstream politics and the media, and are hostile to both. This is challenging, because it represents - here in Greece and in Spain - the latest stage of a process of "active depoliticisation" of the generation that's had enough of the euro crisis. It may be just a phase - or it may be a harbinger of what the developed world is going to look like if the masses part company from politicians who have become too technocratic, characterless and inept. Acropolis now On the day of the big riot, Wednesday 15 June, I'm close enough to observe who is doing what. On this occasion, the broad-chested communist and trade-union security squads bellow slogans, link arms, clutch their three-inch-thick clubs and march in a disciplined phalanx away from all the trouble. It is the youth who make the streets ungovernable. At one point, with Loukanikos leaping around joyfully at their head, the protesters try to retake the square, which is littered with the debris of missiles. Everyone by now is masked - the journos, the rioters, the police - and all bystanders have gone, so in the open space there is a weird absence, virtual silence, except for the occasional pop of tear gas or smashing of glass.Further down the streets are isolated individuals, masked, smashing a piece of marble to make rocks, texting. Some couples are hand in hand, everybody aimlessly ambling in different directions; it's like a Lowry painting but imbued with menace, and the tear gas drifts and drifts, thick cloud of it, the colour of old furniture. I decide to walk back to the place from where we are editing the Newsnight report. It's an easy decision because there is now no traffic in central Athens. On one corner after another, there are just groups of young people hanging around, some masked up. Two lads take their shirts off, wrap them around their heads and dance in front of a streetwide fire they've lit on a side street, about 30 yards away from a platoon of riot cops. The cops make slashing attacks into this eerie mayhem. They are gradually breaking it up, restoring fluidity and danger for the rioters, but this is not exactly order. Listening to messages on my iPhone, I walk accidentally into a Henry Miller novel - transvestite prostitutes hover on the street corner; a drunk slumps slobbering on the floor, his socks removed, his face deathly; a woman hops from foot to foot as if trapped in a video loop, her hair matted, eyes flickering to the demands of some substance; a junkie couple argue in the doorway of a shop. No cops, no ordinary people, no traffic. Silence. A group of African street sellers come by, serene, smiling. There's nobody around to hassle them. For a few hours, the rioters control central Athens. They don't smash many banks but they do seem to smash the resolve of the German chancellor, Angela Merkel. Overnight on 15 June, the EU and the IMF agree to remove the conditions on the €12bn that will tide Greece over until September - though not without some wobbling on subsequent days. On 17 June the Greek prime minister, George Papandreou, reshuffles his cabinet. Out go the western-educated technocrats as well as the left-wing opponents of austerity. In come the party fixers and bruisers making "save the nation" speeches. The plan is clear: get a cabinet vote of confidence, sign up to anything the EU asks for, on the clear, whispered understanding that it will not be implemented. Buy time. Default later, if possible under a government of national unity. Gone to the dogs The most worrying thing is the sense that the Greek state - whose reach never extended very deep into civil society - is slowly beginning to become ineffectual at the margins: rising crime, porous borders, the continued wholesale tax evasion and offshoring of wealth, allegations of under-the-counter bribes demanded from the sick in order to get admitted into hospital. Only Loukanikos remains oblivious to these complications, revelling in the chaos and completely immune, it seems, to tear gas. In the square, everybody wants to kick the media's head in, because they believe we are complicit with the rich elite in ripping off the country. It's a proxy backlash against the entire establishment. Dads stand by approvingly as their sons shine laser pens into the sensors of the TV cameras and into my eyes. "I don't want you to report what's happening here," says an old guy, quite calm and rational as he waves his hand in my face. "It's too late for that."

Foals Total Life Forever
Foals - Total Life Forever
Released: May 25, 2010 Sub Pop
In the two years since this Oxford, England, outfit recorded their razor-sharp debut Antidotes, it would appear that they've collectively seen a ghost. Or they exhausted themselves in the flurry of touring and hype that followed the 2008 release of LP1. Either way, something has to account for the haunted, desiccated sound of their latest full-length, Total Life Forever. Gone for the most part are the skittering disco-punk rhythms and fully engorged urgency that drove their material. Instead, you have a slower, more methodical approach that lets these pop gems blossom out in thin ribbons.
Whatever the inspiration--spectral or otherwise--it has done wonders for the band. By pulling the tempos in and adding a patina of sonic gloss to ethereal numbers like "2 Trees" and the positively gorgeous "Spanish Sahara," the songs are able to sink in deeper and are harder to shake off. They are also showing an increasing reliance on electronics, letting washes of keyboards and fluttering programmed noise color the dreamscape that is "Alabaster" and the more insistent pulse of "Black Gold" like creeping shadows.
Even when Foals stretch back into the comfortable strides of danceable beats and scratchy guitars, it is tinged with something sour and slightly acidic. This isn't the same band we once knew--thank heaven for that.

I have done about 10 HMs over the last 4 years. I went from couch to HM so the first 2 were much more survival than anything else. I have always loosely followed plans but with small kids and working things never lined up quite right so I am always aware that most runners do more. But I did what I could and have become much smarter about making each run "count". The last year has gone well. I completed my first marathon 3 weeks ago. My body feels recovered my mind is still struggling. The relentless heat, which I loathe, is not helping my mental recovery.
I have 2 HMs on my fall schedule. The first is Hamptons at the end of Sept. I am not going to race it. I already know I do not have what it takes now to put the training in for a PR but I will have no problem running it for fun. The second is Philly in mid-Nov. I really want to crush my current PR (1:58) in Philly. Jan-March I was consistently at 25+ mpw from there it was a steady increase in marathon training. Since the marathon on June 22 I am at about 15 per week. But I needed that recovery time. I plan to just hold my base of 20-25 mpw beginning this week, and officially start training Aug 24.
If the next month goes as planned I will be starting my HM training with the long run at 10 so I have plenty of time for a 15 miler in the schedule. My other weekly runs are a speed workout, a tempo (or hill repeats) and an easy mid distance. 4 days a week of running is my sweet spot. I do two additional days crosstraining and a rest day. My body hates 5 days a week on a regular basis. About every 4 weeks I get in the 5th day but only when I feel really good or another quality run got compromised.
So my question is - I see a lot of HM plans call for a 15 miler. Is that beneficial vs a 12 miler? In the past I have maxed the long run at 12. But I am wondering whats more beneficial - a 12 mi with a bit more push vs 15 mi?

When Kevin Towers wanted to get the skinny on Henry Blanco, the Padres' general manager put in a call to Greg Maddux, who threw to the catcher in both Atlanta and Chicago.
"When you get a strong endorsement from a guy like Maddux, it opens up your eyes," Towers said Wednesday after securing a one-year commitment from Blanco to be the backup catcher as well as a mentor to Nick Hundley.
And for Towers, the 37-year-old Blanco's role as a mentor is every bit as important as his ability to catch.
Towers emphasized how Blanco last year worked with National League Rookie of the Year Geovany Soto during Blanco's fourth and final season with the Chicago Cubs.
"It's important for Nick to have someone like Henry to help him learn the hitters and pitchers," Towers said. "Henry is a clubhouse leader and a good, veteran catcher who mentored Soto in Chicago. We look for him to do the same this year with Hundley."
But Towers also expects Blanco to see "more time than he has in some time" behind the plate.
Last year, Blanco appeared in 45 games with the Cubs, including 28 starts. He hit .292 with three homers and 12 RBI in 120 at-bats. He also threw out 10 of the 22 base stealers he faced.
Last year, Padres catchers not named Hundley hit .184 with four homers in 381 at-bats. They also threw out only 15 percent of the potential base-stealers they faced – a mark that is 25 percent below Blanco's career percentage, which is the third-best mark among active major leaguers.
"Henry and Nick should complement each other," said Towers, who committed $750,000 to a guaranteed major league contract. "I think we're better off at catcher from a year ago."
Blanco said he had offers from other clubs.
"But I saw this as an opportunity to play and come and help Hundley," he said. "I help young guys as much as I can. I'm going to be there for him. I'd like to see him become one of the best."
A native of Venezuela, Blanco has spent 11 seasons in the major leagues. He moves ahead of Eliezer Alfonzo, whom the Padres claimed off waivers from San Francisco.
The Padres also were negotiating with 39-year-old Brad Ausmus, who signed with the Dodgers for $1 million Wednesday.
"We got an experienced catcher with considerable postseason experience," Towers said.
To make room for Blanco on the 40-man roster, the Padres designated right-handed pitcher Virgil Vasquez for assignment. The Padres claimed Vasquez off waivers from Boston on Jan. 9.
