Interactive Marketing Weekly Roundup 4.9.10

Google acquired a new startup this week—Episodic, a video platform for broadcasting live and on-demand videos on the web and on mobile devices. Episodic has a solid advertising plan and analytics platform, most likely the reason Google was so eager. Read more.
Facebook on South Park
On Wednesday night, South Park aired an episode entirely about Facebook. While pretty amusing at times, it felt a little behind the times. Watch it for yourself. There's even some Tron references, for all you super nerds out there.
Government agencies may now use social
On Wednesday, the U.S. Office of Management and Budget issued a memo that explained how government agencies can use online sources to gather information, which they previously were not permitted to do. I say, since that's where people are, that's probably a good idea! Read more.
Google attempting to help suicidal searchers
When someone is feeling down and out and has no one else to talk to, where do they go these day? It's no longer the local bartender with an open ear or the compassionate school guidance counselor. Today, people that are questioning the futility of life turn to Google. Whether it's for help or for ideas on how to do it, Google is now display results that will offer help, with a toll-free emergency number listed above all searchers. Google made the change based on a suggestion from a mother. Learn more.
How to control AdWords costs
Google offered up some advice on how to optimize your advertising costs through AdWords, for example, reducing your bid on less successful terms and raising it on the more successful ones. Basic, yes. But sometimes we all need to step back and rethink the basics. Check on the advice with a helpful video.
Is your site under Google penalty?
A significant drop or complete expulsion from the Google SERPs is a good way to tell if you've been penalized. But sometimes it's not that transparent. Check out this blog post to help figure out if you've been penalized.
Why Google won't penalize a site
But sometimes, even when someone reports a site, it doesn't get penalized. Rand from SEOmoz looks at why this might be, based on a site he himself has reported as spam.
Is social media dying?
This article explores the idea that consumers are losing trust in social media and rebelling against the "noise." The idea is based on a survey by Edelman, which cites that consumer confidence in social media has dropped by nearly half since 2008, leaving only 25% of people trusting their social comrades. Learn more.
Make sure you have Twitter profile pic
In what I think is probably the most obvious findings ever, a recent report by HubSpot states that Twitter profiles with pictures are infinitely more appealing and have a greater number of followers than profiles without a picture. Duh! But I guess the concrete data is nice.
10 ways to screw up a blog post
Blogging is simple, right? You just write a half-true, kinda-researched article on a somewhat relevant topic and you're golden. That's it. I hate to break it to you, but that's totally false. Learn 10 ways you might be screwing up your blog posts. Of course, there are plenty more ways you could be fudging them, but these are some of the more important ones.
Research: digital ad frequency impact
comScore reported on the varying impact of ad frequency in the digital environment, based on campaigns run for the Fox Network in the United Kingdom. The campaigns, despite receiving few click, had an rather impressive impact on site visits and search queries, proving that directly clicks aren't the only measurement for success of a campaign. Read the full results.
Yahoo! gains in market share
According to a recent report by Hitwise, Yahoo! increased 3% in the number of searches for March 2010 compared to February 2010. Google and Bing both decreased 1% in that same time period. Find all findings at Search Engine Journal.
iPad, the future looking to be hyperlocal
Fwix, a news site, has launched a free iPad app that will deliver a stream of hyperlocal, realtime news by location. This is just one of many new offerings focused on location-based content. We're seeing a huge push for local sites, features, apps and more that are geographically focused and believe this will be a major part of interactive marketing moving forward, whether it's on the web or on mobile phone. Or, more likely, both! Learn more about Fwix's iPad app.
Yellowpages.com now YP.com
In an effort to become more relevant and effective, Yellowpages.com has changed its URL to YP.com. Additionally, it's getting a new algorithmic approach, updated maps and new set of partners. Learn more at BIA/Kelsey.
Google-AdMob deal still under review
The FTC is still attempting to block Google's acquisition of AdMob. They've sent letter to AdMob's competitors, asking for statements on how the acquisition could negatively affect the industry. Learn more at Wall Street Journal.
Will Yahoo! buy Foursquare?
Word on the street is that Yahoo! is interested in purchasing Foursquare. As it's looking right now, location-based service are the way of the future. But no one's sure that that future includes Foursquare. Would this be a smart investment for Yahoo!? Time will tell, I guess. Learn more about the rumored deal.


text: The Tampa Bay Rays mounted a furious comeback in the final month of the 2011 season, and ended up in the playoffs for the third time in four seasons after a complete and utter collapse by the Boston Red Sox. The rally ended up being for naught, as the Rays lost in four games in the ALDS to the eventual league champion Texas Rangers. However, this is still a very explosive young team that will be a legitimate contender in 2012. Depth Chart C: Jose Molina 1B: Carlos Pena 2B: Ben Zobrist SS: Sean Rodriguez 3B: Evan Longoria LF: Desmond Jennings CF: BJ Upton RF: Matt Joyce DH: Luke Scott SP: James Shields SP: David Price SP: Matt Moore SP: Jeremy Hellickson SP: Jeff Niemann CL: Kyle Farnsworth New Faces The Rays didn't have much turnover from 2011 to 2012, but there still is some there. Luke Scott, formerly of the Orioles, is the team's new DH after Johnny Damon was largely a disappointment in the role in 2011. Carlos Pena returns to Tampa Bay after a season in Chicago to take over first base from the departed Casey Kotchman. The team is also apparently ready to roll with defensive specialist Jose Molina behind the dish. The Rays also brought in a pair of new relievers: former Tigers and Angels setup man Fernando Rodney, and former Marlins reliever Burke Badenhop. Departures Both of the team's catchers in 2011, John Jaso and Kelly Shoppach, are no longer with the team. Jaso was traded to Seattle, while Shoppach signed as a free agent with the Red Sox. As mentioned earlier, former first baseman Casey Kotchman left as a free agent, signing with the Indians. Johnny Damon remains unsigned, and won't be back in Tampa. A pair of relievers also left the team, as Juan Cruz signed with the Pirates and Andy Sonnanstine signed with the Cubs. Also, late season hero Dan Johnson was a minor league free agent that the White Sox snatched up. Impact Rookies You know how things roll in Tampa Bay: lots of young players all the time. Desmond Jennings lost his rookie eligibility last season, but will be the team's Opening Day starter in left field to start the season. Matt Moore, the top pitching prospect in all of baseball, will slot nicely into Tampa Bay's rotation after signing an extension this offseason with single digit innings in the majors. Other names to watch that could contribute in the majors for the Rays this year include outfielder Brandon Guyer and shortstop (and former top overall pick) Tim Beckham. Position Battles The Rays seem pretty set overall, but there could be a battle at shortstop between Sean Rodriguez and Reid Brignac. Brignac started off last year as the starter, but was so horrible offensively that the team needed to make a move. Injury Concerns The Rays are pretty healthy overall, but BJ Upton will start the season the 15 day DL Burning Question Can BJ Upton rebound to become the player he was in 2007 and 2008, or is he just a completely different player now? Best Case The Rays' young talent gels as well as it did in 2008, and the team finishes with the best record in the American League. Worst Case Tampa Bay's main young talent (Moore and Jennings) aren't ready for a full season in the big show, and the team falls to third place in the division and has to fight and claw for a playoff spot. Realistic Prediction The Rays are either the first or second best team in the AL East, and should be in contention for a playoff spot all year long, unless something catastrophic happens.

American Baptist leader joins call to close Gitmo. The head of American Baptist Churches USA joined 42 other faith leaders in a letter urging senators to support efforts to close the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. ABC/USA General Secretary Roy Medley joined Christian, Jewish, Muslim and other faith leaders urging the Senate to pass a defense-spending bill that would ease restrictions on 164 detainees currently held in Guantanamo. "Guantanamo is a place where prisoners were tortured and where the vast majority of the detainees continue to be held indefinitely without charge or trial," said the letter coordinated by the National Religious Campaign Against Torture. "Closing it is the right thing to do."
Baptist in Tajikistan fined for receiving devotional guides in mail. A Baptist in Tajikistan was fined after three church members received devotional magazines from outside the country that officials said violated the country's ban on production, import, export, selling and distribution of religious literature. The Norway-based Forum 18 new service reported Madamin Chariyev, a Baptist in the capital city of Dushanbe, was among the individuals warned or fined recently for "illegal" religious literature that does not pass through state censorship. Baptists got into trouble when secret police confiscated copies of Our Daily Bread, a devotional magazine published and distributed in more than 40 languages worldwide by RBC Ministries in Grand Rapids, Mich. The magazines sent to the church for three members came from Belarus, one of the ministry's locations around the world. Chariyev reportedly paid his fine and decided not to appeal because he didn't want to get in conflict with legal authorities.
Scottish Baptist to lead relocated seminary. A Scottish Baptist educator and former pastor has been named rector of the International Baptist Theological Study Centre in Amsterdam, a school owned by the European Baptist Federation in the process of relocating from the Czech Republic. The International Baptist Theological Seminary board of trustees voted unanimously to hire Stuart Blythe, interim principal of the Scottish Baptist College. Blythe, a 1989 graduate of the seminary then located in Ruschlikon, Switzerland, will be the first alum of the seminary to lead the school established in 1949 to rebuild and unify European Baptists following World War II. Blythe received a Ph.D. in homiletics from the University of Edinburgh in 2009. International Baptist Theological Seminary moved to Prague in 1997, in response to changes in the European Baptist landscape after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Last year, trustees responded to declining revenues and costs associated with maintaining an aging campus by voting to establish a Baptist house, embedded in VU University of Amsterdam, to concentrate on doctor of philosophy study in Baptist/Anabaptist studies and mission and practical theology. Blythe plans to remain as principal at Scottish Baptist College until his seminary appointment begins in June. He and his wife, Susanne, have two adult children.
Georgia Baptists develop Bible Drill app. The Georgia Baptist Convention developed a Bible Drill app for tablets and smart phones. The discipleship tool enables users to review books of the Bible and specific Scripture verses through activity and study options, including games and electronic flashcards. The app—available in the iTunes store—is loaded with three translations used in Bible Drill—the King James Version, the Holman Christian Standard Version and the English Standard Version.
Kentucky Baptists cut ties to college. The Kentucky Baptist Convention voted Nov. 12 to sever ties with Georgetown College, a historically Baptist liberal-arts school chartered in 1829. The motion to terminate a partnership agreement between the entities struck in 2005 was scheduled for vote last year but postponed by this year's retirement of Georgetown President William Crouch. The intent was to see if Crouch's successor would be interested in continuing terms of the agreement, including a stipulation that 75 percent of the college board of trustees be Kentucky Baptists. Executive Director Paul Chitwood told messengers to the Kentucky Baptists' annual meeting Georgetown's new president, Dwaine Greene, indicated he "had no desire, nor did he feel his board of trustees had any desire, to once again become covenant partners with the KBC." The vote concludes a four-year process that included a state convention study committee of the Georgetown relationship stemming from differences not only about board makeup, but also Georgetown's decision to alter its identity statement from sectarian Baptist to one "built on a Baptist foundation" in pursuit of "a knowledge of and commitment to the Christian faith."

'If you want me to be traditional why don't you put me in a museum?" Angelique Kidjo is, not uncharacteristically, getting all fired up over questions of cultural identity and authenticity.
The 53-year-old Beninese singer-songwriter may be one of the giants of African music, but both personally and musically she is all about channelling - and more often challenging - the past in order to create a new future.
Kidjo is not just a busy woman, but a woman of the world. She spent Christmas in France with members of her family, and New Year at her home in New York, which she shares with her husband and daughter. Her new album, Eve, was recorded in San Francisco, Paris, Luxembourg and Cotonou, and features collaborations with everyone from the Kronos Quartet to Dr John. On her previous album, Oyo, she covered the songs of James Brown, Otis Redding, Santana and Curtis Mayfield. For some critics, all this continent-hopping cross-fertilisation is a betrayal of some nebulous idea of "roots". Naturally, she's having none of it.
Loading article content
"The traditional music in Africa evolves," she says. "One thing I learned from the traditional musicians in my family is that this music has been here for centuries but we have to adapt it to our own meaning. I was taught to be open to other music, that anything I like I can incorporate into my own music - and here I am now with people telling me I can't do that! It's out of ignorance. Where does western music come from? The blues comes from the slaves, and blues is the bedrock of rock and roll. R&B, hip-hop, soul music, you can link it all back to Africa."
Kidjo's fierce blonde crop and forthright manner are the most obvious signifiers of a fiery spirit that runs deep. She recalls with a laugh that "my nickname in my village as a child was When Why How - I never had enough answers," and her desire to rattle the chains of tradition goes far beyond musical curiosity. She was brought up by her father to question the ingrained cultural acceptance of female subjugation, and has followed through in her actions. A Unicef goodwill ambassador for the past 12 years, she is a tireless campaigner on any number of health and humanitarian issues, from education to female genital mutilation and polygamy.
You might think that Kidjo's activism would prove a distraction from her day job as a musician. In fact, she says, the two are mutually sustaining. "The activism feeds the music, absolutely. Every album I've written has been a storytelling concept, about different issues that I've had to face. So for me, activism is telling the story of Africa: of love, of joy, of peace, of war, of pain. Our history is oral, and there is so much underlying stuff that the coloniser never got because they were only interested in the superficial. Our culture is rich and telling the story gives us an identity."
Does she think that the West is beginning to better understand Africa in all its diversity? "A little bit, but we need to get rid of the clichés. There are two things the West always sees from Africa in the media: African people dancing around and smiling stupidly, or war and poverty. These stories are told for the interests of the rich countries."
On her new album, Eve, it is almost impossible to unstitch the music from the message. Named after her mother, the album is a celebration of womanhood, conceived after Kidjo was approached in 2012 by the Italian ambassador at the UN to put together a concert for the General Assembly protesting against the issue of female genital mutilation. "People were tired of being lectured about it by old white men," she says. "From that, I decided I wanted to write about issues surrounding women, not only in Africa but around the world."
A firm believer that music has the power to deliver social and political change, Kidjo calls upon the memory of the recently departed Nelson Mandela. "Look how we all gathered together years ago when politics failed to free Mandela," she says. "Music brought the issue to the face of the world and involved young kids who until then didn't know who he was. It put on so much pressure. Music has always been able to gather people together and galvanise them to say, 'Enough of this nonsense'. That's the power of music. It reminds people of freedom, and freedom is what we cherish the most."
Well aware that music has given her a busy but blessed life, since her father's death in 2008 Kidjo has, she says, become more attentive of her roots. Though she left Benin 30 years ago, to live first in France and then America, she is "taking more and more time to go back to Benin and see my mother. I want to be there as much as I can." One tangible result of this period of reflection is her memoir Spirit Rising, which pays tribute to both of her parents and their unwavering dedication to female empowerment.
"The book and the album really go hand in hand," she says. "It was not really meant to be like that but who has any control over inspiration? My father's passing away brought me to realise that if there is something to say, say it now. If there is anything to do, do it now."
Eve is released on January 27 on 429 Records. Spirit Rising: My Life, My Music is published by Harper Collins on January 30

trueVision Group in partnership with dfcu bank and the Netherlands Embassy in Uganda is searching for Uganda's best farmers. Harvest Money shall profile nominated farmers every Tuesday until September 2014 when a panel of judges shall select Uganda's best farmers. Sh150m and a fully sponsored trip to the Netherlands awaits the best farmers who will be announced in October.
At a glance, Dr. Emma Naluyima looks like any elite Ugandan woman, but on her farm in Bwerenga, off Entebbe Road in Wakiso district, she is every inch a worker at the farm. But that is until she starts talking about her passion — farming. By any standards, Naluyima or 'Maama Pig' as she was nicknamed because of her passion for pigs is a wealthy farmer. And yet, amazingly, she is not using more than two acres for both her fairly imposing residence and her farm enterprises. In fact, most of the enterprises sit on just one acre. Although she runs a veterinary clinic, Animal Care Centre in Entebbe, farming is her main source of income. Naluyima was born in 1979 in Entebbe.
She went to Stella Maris Primary School, Nsuube, Mary Hill- Mbarara and Makerere University for a veterinary medicine degree and later a master's in public health. She is married to Washington Mugerwa and the two have a set of twins.
Using very little space innovation
Naluyima and her husband have 30 breeding pigs that give birth to at least 720 piglets a year, several fish ponds done under 'green house fi sh farming' with a capacity to accommodate at least 6,000 fi sh, a wellmaintained banana plantation and two greenhouses of 15ft x 8ft in which they grow vegetables.
They also have a well looked after dairy cow and a hydroponic fodder making machine — all on one acre of land. From these, she earns a fortune! "We are doing everything intensively, rather than extensively. We have adopted significant levels of technology to maximise the gains from this small piece of land," she says.
The farm has only one permanent worker. The rest of the work is done by Naluyima, who wakes up at 4:00am, and a few casual workers who come in as need arises.
How she started
Naluyima is practising what she learnt at school. "I graduated in 2004 and worked with the government animal genetics centre in Entebbe," she says. It was while there that she realised the need for good quality animal breeds.
She thought of starting a piggery and fi sh farming project. Naluyima started saving for the dream. She soon raised money to acquire land in Bwerenga to start off the project. "I had acquired land near the lake for the fi sh project. However, I was told I could farm fish in a swamp. I then decided to do piggery there," she says.
The piggery project
In 2010, Naluyima started with five pigs – four female and one male. All of them were of the Camborough breed. "I looked after them well because I realised that was the only way to get money out of them," she says.
The pigs did not disappoint. The breed she rears delivers an average 12 piglets, twice a year. And soon, she had many piglets for sale. The number of female breeders multiplied to the current 30 and fi ve males. Since each of these sows delivers 24 piglets every year, Naluyima gets 720 piglets in a year. To maintain the quality, she is now importing the mother breeders from South Africa.
"It sounds expensive, but the quality of pigs makes it cheap. Remember, cheap is expensive and expensive is cheap," Naluyima explains. "I sell a two-month-old piglet at sh200,000 and a three-month-old piglet at sh250,000," she says. Asked whether this was not on the high end, she explained that the quality of the breeds she rears is high. "People who buy them come back for more. I do not think they would have returned if it was not value for money," she says. Last year and early this year, she used to sell at least 40 piglets every month.
At an average sh200,000 each, she earned sh8m monthly from the pigs alone. Naluyima's piggery has got a 'modern' labour ward for the sows to deliver the piglets. "Every piglet matters, that is why I have invested in this system," she says. Each suite costs sh900,000. However, Naluyima says this is cheap compared to the benefi ts. "I sell a piglet at sh250,000, so each of them matters a lot. Therefore, losing it at birth means losing sh250,000," she says. The suites also prevent sows from cannibalising the piglets since the piglet is out of reach upon birth.
Naluyima uses mulching bags filled with compost manure to make herbanana plantation more productive
The 'greenhouse' fish
Inaddition to the pigs, Naluyima set up a highly innovative fish farming project. She farms fish in a greenhouse. She is one of few farmers in Uganda with such a system. She used sh3.5m to set up the greenhouse structure. She then used mainly local material to set up six 8ft x 8ft ponds. Each of these ponds cost sh400,000.
The ponds are lined with a special polythene sheet that retains the water. The liners are imported from Kenya. Each of these ponds can take at least 1,200 catfi sh or 1,000 tilapia, which adds up to 6,000 fish under the greenhouse. "It has many advantages compared to open fish farming," she says. For example, the fish are not attacked by predators and harvesting can be done by just one person."There is also controlled, but effective feeding, which is why the fi sh develop faster," she says. In six months, fi sh from her greenhouse weigh a kilogramme.
On maturity, she sells each kilogramme at sh12,000, which means that with 6,000 fi sh grown in eight weeks, she collects sh72m from the ponds a year.
Banana shamba
Naluyima's banana shamba sits on a quarter an acre and has over 100 stems. It has just started flowering. However, the innovation that she uses makes the banana shamba stand out. While most farmers mulch their shambas to retain moisture, she uses mulching bags, fi lled with compost manure. The bags are placed between the rows of bananas."We pour water on these mulching bags, then the plants sip the nutrients from here," she says.
The 'greenhouse' fish farm fetches about sh72m a year
The farm has also got two greenhouses in which Naluyima grows vegetables. She got the materials at about sh9m each. In one of the structures she grows tomatoes, while the other has got sweet pepper. "Every week, I harvest 200kg of tomatoes from the greenhouse," she says. With each kilogramme going for sh2,000, that is sh400,000 every week from the tomatoes. The harvesting goes on for seven to eight months, which comes to about sh12.8m in eight months. "I was able to recoup the cost of the greenhouse from one harvest and even made a profi t," she says. And yet, the structure can be used for so many years. She says if one, for example, takes a loan to construct the greenhouse, the loan can be repaid in just a year
The specially-made labour suites for the pigs
What is hydroponic livestock fodder?
One of the technologies adapted by Naluyima involves growing fodder using hydroponic systems. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil. Only moisture and nutrients are provided to the growing plants. There are many advantages to hydroponics. Hydroponic growing systems produce a greater yield over a shorter period of time in a smaller area than traditionally- grown crops.
The technology ensures a reduction or exclusion of pesticides and herbicides because the plants are in a protected environment. Hydroponics is a year-round growing system that produces a consistent quantity and quality of plant material, Fodder (livestock feed) can be grown hydroponically much the same as vegetables, fl owers and other plants.
Hydroponic fodder systems are usually used to sprout cereal grains, such as barley, oats, wheat, sorghum, and corn, or legumes, such as alfalfa, clover or cow peas. Naluyima grows barley under this technology because it is the most commonly grown forage that usually gives the best yield of nutrients. A hydroponic fodder system usually consists of a framework of shelves on which metal or plastic trays are stacked. After soaking overnight, a layer of seeds is spread over the base of the trays.
During the growing period, the seeds are kept moist, but not water-logged. They are supplied with moisture and (sometimes) nutrients, usually via drip or spray irrigation. Holes in the trays facilitate drainage and the waste water is collected in a tank. The seeds will usually sprout within 24 hours and in 5 to eight days have produced a six to eight inch high grass mat. After the mat is removed from the tray, it can go into a feed mixer or be hand-fed to livestock. Livestock will eat the whole thing: seeds, roots, and grass. There is minimal waste. Livestock may not eat the fodder initially because it is novel, but should soon learn to eat it with relish.
A huge structure is coming up near her home. It is a primary school intended to promote agriculture. "I grew up in an agricultural family. Stella Maris P/S, Nsuube, also put emphasis on agriculture and that is the kind of primary school I want to set up," she says. Naluyima says at the moment, many people have realised that agriculture is one thing that can get them money. "However, you realise that there is a dearth of farming knowledge. This is why I want to start training the next generation of farmers right from primary school," she says. In addition, at least 10 people go to the farm every week to learn.
There are several ways through which Naluyima markets her products. For starters, she used the contacts she got while working at the genetics centre in Entebbe to market her pigs to customers. However, she also did a lot of advertising in the media, especially in Harvest Money. "Whenever I have pigs, I advertise them in the papers and people come for them. When one person buys and is happy with the quality, he connects me to other buyers," she says
Just like other farmers, Naluyima's main challenge is getting an even bigger market for the products. "The kind of market I need is in supermarkets, for example, however capturing it is not easy," she says. Most supermarkets import their beef, pork and chicken. Naluyima points out that Ugandan farmers have failed to capture that lucrative market because they cannot manage the quality and quantity of their products. But she believes that as farmers adopt modern technology, that market will be captured.

Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department – in the House of Commons at 2:30 pm on 12th December 2011.
I welcome the work of Merseyside police and other police forces around the country in dealing with metal theft. It is why we are moving forward with the metal theft taskforce, and why that will also be responsible for greater co-ordination, but I hear the points that the hon. Gentleman makes about penalties. That is something that we are actively considering in the context of our review of the current legislation. [Interruption.]

As international assistance shifts to emphasise the importance of local ownership in ensuring relevance, effectiveness and sustainability, the ways that practice is evaluated must also shift. To date, conversations about local ownership have primarily focused on policies or programme design and implementation. This briefing paper provides practitioners – particularly international NGOs and donors – with a rationale and framework for promoting local ownership in evaluation. Together with a forthcoming guidance document, this paper is meant to provide practitioners and evaluators with tools to extend local ownership to evaluation.
This paper argues that the international assistance community must go beyond the inclusion of programme/project participants in deciding what should be done and in providing feedback on how well something is being done. Participants also need to be co-owners of evaluation processes: involved in determining the questions the evaluation asks, how to judge the quality of an intervention, and how to interpret the data collected. In other words, the local ownership agenda must extend to all parts of the programme cycle.

Hunter Hayes' Grammy Wardrobe Watch; Kelly Clarkson Grammy Rumors + More: Country Music News Roundup
The Boot rounds up today's country music news from around the web.
Look for multiple Grammy nominee Hunter Hayes on "CBS This Morning" tomorrow (Friday, Feb. 8) at 7:00 AM ET. Among the trophies for which Hunter is vying is the coveted Best New Artist award. And when it comes to what he'll be wearing Sunday night, Hunter hints that he's partial to the combination of black and red, so his Grammy attire could be a combination of those colors. "Every now and then, I'll obsess about a detail," Hunter tells The Boot. "Goofy things like that, I obsess over, like my watches. I love my watches." Watch Hunter (and see which colors — and which watch — he's sporting on Sunday night when the Grammys air live on CBS at 8:00 PM ET.
Bret Michaels will be live blogging the Grammys for us! The legendary rocker will be giving his thoughts on Sunday's awards on AOL.com from the comfort of his living room, where the Poison frontman has graciously invited some of our own writers to join him for the show. He'll also present the world debut of his new single, "The App Song," on Sunday. The blogging begins at 7:15 PM ET. [AOL]
It is rumored that Kelly Clarkson will be paying tribute to Carole King and to the late Patti Page on the Grammys. Sources tell FOX 411 the original "American Idol" will sing a medley that will include Page's "How Much Is That Doggie in the Window" and King's "I Feel the Earth Move." [MJ's Big Blog]
Country newcomer Charlie Worsham has joined the lineup for the 4th Annual CountryMusicIsLove Concert Benefiting City of Hope, set for Feb. 25 at Nashville's 12th & Porter nightclub. The singer is currently working on his debut album for Warner Music Nashville. Among other acts on the concert bill are Rose Falcon, Maggie Rose, the Henningsens and Greg Bates. [CMIL]
Bristol, Tennessee is getting a museum dedicated to country music's roots. The Birthplace of Country Music Downtown Museum was just granted $600,000 by the city government for construction of the building, which has already begun. The museum is expected to open in August 2014. [WYCB]
Lady Antebellum dropped by CBS' "The Talk" this week to perform their new single, "Downtown." In a backstage interview, the trio's Hillary Scott revealed the second trimester of her pregnancy is going very well, and she'll find out the gender of her first baby soon. "I'm feeling really confident," said the mom-to-be. "It was weird; (in the first trimester) my body was changing, there was this thing that was taking all my energy away. But now … I'll say to my husband, 'I helped make an ear today!'" [LadyAntebellum.com]

Business: Bobee, LLC
About your business
I moved to Denver three years ago with my husband and 18-month-old son, while eight months pregnant. When we moved into a small apartment, I needed something to hold diapers and wipes where they were convenient, but also out of the way so my son wouldn't see them as something to play with. A wall-mounted dispenser was exactly what I needed, but I couldn't find anything online or in stores that would hold both the diapers and the wipes. I had a need and I couldn't find a solution online or in stores, so I created one myself; the Bobee Diaper and Wipe Dispenser. Bobee is currently sold in baby boutiques around the country and online.
What inspired you to open your business?
I was encouraged with feedback from mom's and dads who also had this need. Finding the solution to my problem was my inspiration and kept me going. Now, as I am selling to retailers, I am inspired every time I make a sale or receive a photo from a mom who put the Bobee dispenser in her nursery. It is very rewarding to see something you made being used by others.
What has been your biggest unexpected challenge?
My biggest challenge has been funding. The cost of starting a business is so much more than I ever expected but luckily we had the means to take on this challenge ourselves. I did take a hiatus at one point and went back to work for six months. Additionally, I received the 2012 Huggies MomInspired grant of $15,000 earlier this year which helped cover the cost of product photography and graphic design of our website and packaging. With this grant, I was able to bring my product to market.
How do you balance family and business?
I structure my time very well. My family has a set weekly schedule for school that I coordinate with my work time. We have a calendar on the refrigerator that outlines "mommy days" where I spend one-on-one time with my sons, my husband's travel, and family days where we are focused on the family (no running to answer an email, phone calls or allowing anything to interfere from our kids). This allows us to have better focus for our kids and our work.
When you are really stressed, you are most likely to _______________________
Eat a pan of brownies. I'll be honest here, running your own business and the time and financial investment are huge. But I wouldn't trade the challenges and opportunities for anything. Being your own boss takes a lot of dedication and motivation but the rewards are ten-fold.
A piece of advise for other Moms interested in opening a business.
My advice has always been that you'll need to increase the time and cost that you budget. Through the process of designing and manufacturing the Bobee Diaper & Wipe Dispenser, the time to do things was always twice what I expected. For example, the tooling to create the mold for the dispenser had delays and even our last production run was delayed due to the Colorado Springs wildfires. There will always be something out of your control that you cannot plan for, so I always add more time to the estimates that I receive. Our budget has always gone over too. I learned early on that an estimate is just that, a guess as to what it will cost. While in many cases you can hold the service provider to that number, there will be instances where you must allow for overage. And there are those opportunities that come up that you just don't want to miss out on but never budgeted for.
Fun fact about you
I'm really handy and creative. When designing the Bobee Diaper and Wipe Dispenser my first prototype was from a cardboard box, the second from plexi-glass. I went to the hardware store and bought sheets of plexi-glass then used the Drammel and cut the sheets to size and the diaper and wipe openings. My 19-month-old son would be at a drop-off daycare so I could rest and take care of my newborn son. But I found myself getting really creative with the diaper caddy I wanted to create.

Actually, I Have It (sometimes)When I live in Canada (like right now) I have it. How cool is it to be able to go to the doc when you're sick (without checking with your health insurance plan, or your checking account.) While I was employed in the states, I was fully or partially covered, depending on the health plan. Only one plan came close to the Canadian plan for ease of use (Kaiser.) While some services may be more limited in Kaiser, the integrated model for delivery was both efficient and effective. In fact, Canada Health System could learn a thing about becoming a more efffective/efficient system from Kaiser. But the universal coverage is sadly missing in the US. So many countries have it. As the "Engineer of the World's Economy", too bad the US can't get on this common page with almost all of the rest of the nations of the world.
Healthcare is a human right. People are afraid of rationing and "death panels" but those things already exist thanks to private health insurance. You have people in cubicles deciding what kind of care you receive instead of your doctor.
Nothing kills quality like government intervention.....let our system fall into socialism and there will be no health care left to ration.....the feds are already so far in the hole that we will never see the end of debt in our lifetime.
Do you make a habit out of joining groups you don't agree with just so you can harass its members with talking points from Rush Limbaugh? I dare you to name one successful completely free market health care system that exists in the world right now, they don't exist. If you want a Republican paradise go to Somalia. No functional government to speak of, guns everywhere and absolutely no regulation.
Pretty typical reaction to logic.....healthcare is not about feelings....believe what you wish.....we are watching a train wreck before our very eyes. Good luck with all of that.
As someone who works in health care and has dealt with insurance companies and the federal government (via medicare) I can assure you that this is based on more than just emotion. I take it you cannot name a successful purely free market health care system? And no, you cannot name something from an Ayn Rand novel.
like I said....good luck with that.....when you have trouble getting a job in the healthcare system. I have sufficient background in the field as well to know what I'm saying. This isn't meant to be a ******* contest. You go ahead and believe what you want....I wish the best for you.....
I have friends who come to the states to get health care they can't get from Canada.....lol go figure.
You might like to do research, when was the last time a Canadian lost his home, business, life savings over illness?
And I have friends who have went to Mexico and Asia for treatment, what's your point?
The US is slow mo in all and fantasizes on ruling the world. I learned they have states that have anti ******** laws, imagine.
Funny, just this morning my brother, an uncle from FL and I were discussing the difference in the systems. My uncle finally got me to understand the difference in Medicare vs. Medicaid
I am not a FL girl. I live east coast Canada and lived in FL for 2 years
yes, to much money to be made looking for a cure,

then there is, in curing people

The Determinants of Leverage. Differences between Quoted and Non Quoted Firms
The design of capital structure in quoted companies has received much attention in the academic literature. Using panel data from quoted as well as non quoted Belgian companies, this paper investigates not only the determinants of capital structure, but also the influence of a stock listing on the relationship between these determinants and leverage. Overall our empirical results are in line with previous studies and support mainly the Pecking Order theory. Also in line with the predictions of the Pecking Order theory, quoted companies are less levered, even when controlling for other determinants of capital structure. Furthermore we find that the determinants of capital structure differ to some extend between quoted and non quoted companies.

For long term, tape is arguable the best, and most reliable solution.[{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
I don't trust DVD's or CD's, I did backups on them a few years ago and although they are still being read you don't want to see the error logs [a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=146296\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Are you suggesting, Frank, that those errors degrade the image in any visible way?I'm surprised that after 10-12 years of backing up thousands of images on CDs and DVDs, I've never had any major problem retrieving data, even from the very earliest CDs, many of which were non-descript, bargain blanks.Stories of unreadable discs due to bit rot seem very odd to me. When people have trouble like that, I can't help wondering what the circumstances really are. Perhaps they've used labels with corrosive glue. Perhaps they've stored the discs in a room with other corrosive chemicals. Perhaps they happen to live in a heavily industrialised, polluted city like Beijing. Perhaps they accidentally left the unreadable disc(s) in a parked car to bake in the sun, or perhaps more likely, the unreadable disc(s) were never recorded properly in the first instance.I've had a number of hard drive failures during that 12 year period, but not one CD or DVD failure of a disc which I know was recorded properly in the first instance. I have had trouble, of course, getting a successful recording (haven't we all) and still have a stack of toasters about a foot high.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=146351\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
VXA is the only tape format in the world to write and read data on tapes in individually addressed data Packets.
You would not believe how many companies are extremely rigid in backing up every bit of data but have never performed a (full) recovery as a test. Many of them are in for a real surprise whenever they need to recover. Most of the time separate data is very well doable but when it comes to recovering servers with stuff like active directory or exchange db servers it is a totally different story.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=146400\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
My experience is the polar opposite: I've had one HDD fail out of 20 (guesstimate) I've used, while I have whole spindles of DVDs which are unreadable. And my HDDs are on 24/365 and in constant use for years. The DVDs are the cheapest I can find, but I store them appropriately.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=146374\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
From PatrikR's VXA link:I have to say that I am absolutely dumbfounded to read that.Let me tell you a story that I thought was ancient history:Many years ago I had a QIC tape backup system from Emerald Systems. To give some idea of the timeframe, the tapes each held 60 megabytes. I used their tape system to back up the development files of my company.One day while editing a file, I happened to destroy it. So, I went to the most recent backup tape to attempt to recover a recent version of the file.A short way into reading the backup tape, the drive reported an unrecoverable read error.At which time it stopped. It didn't continue reading past said read error, which was on a part of the tape that didn't contain my lost file. It simply stopped, and refused to read anything at all past that first error on the tape.After some angry calls to Emerald Systems, I was told that the design of the QIC tape standard was such that drives couldn't read past an error.Frankly, I thought that I was being fed a line of BS, and never again did any business with Emerald Systems.As an engineer in the microelectronics field, I am absolutely dumbfounded to read that not only was what Emerald said about QIC tapes apparently true, but that this design flaw has continued to exist in the multiplicity of tape standards that have been developed since that time. It seems to me to be utterly obvious that a backup tape system has to be able to ignore bad spots on the tape and recover all the readable data that is beyond the bad spot. How this situation could have been designed in in the first place, and then continued to exist for these many years, is stupidity of a level that exceeds my ability to comprehend.Reviewing what I just wrote, I see that it was quite a rant! I guess the loss of that data after having spent thousands of dollars on a backup system that didn't work still stings. I guess the moral of this story is not to trust your precious data to backup tapes that can't be read if there are any bad spots. Which would appear to imply that VXA tapes are the only tapes which might be suitable.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=146375\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
I've also experienced inexplicable, apparent unreadability of the occasional disc on other DVD players. It's happened a couple of times that RAW images I've recorded to DVD on my laptop when travelling, have been unreadable on a particular desktop computer back home but perfectly readable on the laptop and also perfectly readable on another desktop computer with a more up-to-date DVD reader/burner.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=146563\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
...I also use subsumation.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=146711\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Hmm...subsumation, to [a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=146719\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
They were readable, but that was with the burner I burned them with. Now I have a new burner, which refuses to read a few spindles - but works on most of the brands burned on the old recorder.
In any case, it doesn't matter. I've given the reasons why HDD kicks DVDs' ass when it comes to backing up. Having to worry about unreadable media on some readers is yet another reason to avoid DVDs.
No, I think you're wrong. It does matter. So far you've confirmed that you've had one hard drive failure but have not confirmed that you've had any DVD failures. For all you know, those apparently unreadable discs, which were once readable on the drive that burned them, are still in perfect condition.I assure you it's far more worrying to have images stored on a medium which is rapidly deteriorating physically than it is to have images which may occasionally be subject to software incompatibilities during attempted access.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=146822\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
As said, I've given the list of reasons why HDDs are better than DVDs as backup earlier, and the reasons are none of the ones you list above - and are more pertinent.Besides, NTFS and FAT32 are industry standards, and a HDD can be read by PCs, Mac or Linux machines. But once again, that's not really a problem as one can migrate all the backups to new media when it becomes available in a matter of minutes. Unlike DVDs, which will take hours and hours.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=146831\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

ZEPHYRHILLS — The girls huddled around their head coach in rightfield. They listened and laughed.
Spirits were up and smiles in abundance at the end of three road games in four nights.
River Ridge won them all, capping the tough trip with a 10-3 victory Thursday at Zephyrhills. That was a convincing followup to Wednesday's 4-3 win in 10 innings at Pasco. And the Royal Knights beat Wesley Chapel 14-0 on Monday.
"When you're coming into this week and you look at what you have (to face)," River Ridge coach Ernie Beck said, "to go 3-0 against quality teams, that's a great effort."
Now the Royal Knights (10-1) can focus on the highly anticipated first meeting with Land O'Lakes on Tuesday.
The matchup is key in the Sunshine Athletic Conference race. With a win, the Gators will hold a nice edge. If the Knights win, four teams will have one conference loss.
River Ridge trailed Zephyrhills 1-0 in the first inning. But pitcher Samantha Stahl put the Royal Knights ahead with a two-run double. Then Sarah Simon hit a single to leftfield to score two runs for a 4-1 lead in the second inning.
"We were really pumped against (Zephyrhills)," Simon said. "We really wanted to beat them. … We thought this would be extremely hard."
The Bulldogs (9-4) could bring home only one run in the third with the bases loaded and no outs. The top two batters in the fifth walked, but Royal Knights freshman Lakyn Shull struck out the next three in relief of Stahl to end the threat.
Simon had three hits, a walk, a run scored and six RBIs.
"You don't want to pitch to her when she's up at bat," Beck said. "I'm surprised they did."

The Rays have had some stars. Young stars, old stars, All-Stars. They've had humble stars, obnoxious stars and faux stars.
Through 10 years of futility and three years of prosperity, they have had stars who shined, stars who faded and stars of every illumination in between.
But until Johnny Damon came along, the Rays have never had a rock star.
Or is that Rock Star?
It's the hair, yes. And the beard. It's the round of golf with Donald Trump and the banter in the garage with Dale Earnhardt Jr. It's the episode of MTV's Cribs and the appearance on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
At the moment, however, it is the sight of two dozen men racing out of a dugout to jump up and down in unison around their lead singer.
For the fifth consecutive game — which neatly matches Tampa Bay's five-game winning streak — Damon was credited with a game-winning RBI in Saturday's 4-3 victory against the Twins. And for the second time in three days, it arrived on the final pitch of a seat-of-your-pants victory at Tropicana Field.
"Around the fourth inning, I said, 'It's going to be one of those games again. Somebody is going to have to get the big hit,' " bench coach Dave Martinez said. "Johnny said, 'Ah, I'll just do it.' And boom! After the game, we just looked at each other and laughed."
Damon has brought a star quality never before seen in this clubhouse. It's an aura, a swagger, a red carpet attitude that is impossible to fake.
Wade Boggs was on his way to the Hall of Fame, but his was more of a chip-on-the-shoulder sense of pride. Greg Vaughn had a presence, but it was lost on a team going nowhere. Troy Percival had a professional's impact, but not on this scale.
Damon is the guy with World Series rings from Boston and New York, a best-selling biography and AC/DC front man Brian Johnson singing at his wedding reception.
The guy who dropped water balloons from the 34th floor terrace of the Ritz-Carlton in Boston and who popularized the name Idiots for the 2004 world champion Red Sox.
He's the guy who, after a charter flight home from a seven-day road trip, turns up the volume on the bus ride from the airport and sings his signature wail from the so-bad-it's-good 2001 movie Rock Star. At 12:30 in the morning.
"Awesome," centerfielder B.J. Upton said. "It's this high-pitched, 'Eeeeeeee!' We've been doing it ever since. We haven't stopped singing it. It's pretty funny."
"Hilarious," leftfielder Sam Fuld said.
"It's like this high-pitched squeal, but it's awesome," shortstop Reid Brignac said. "It started at the (spring training) talent show when he was counting out, 'Eight, nine, teeeeeeeeEEEEEEEN!' Now he does it just about daily."
He's the guy who made a point of going from locker to locker during spring training to get to know his new teammates, some of whom were in elementary school when Damon broke in with the Royals in 1995. The guy who brought his boat down to Port Charlotte and had, well, boatloads of guys join him for afternoon excursions.
"He's the perfect fit for our clubhouse right now with all the youth out there," manager Joe Maddon said. "He really is the perfect kind of Mixmaster blender to get this thing working properly. He just has a good way out there.
"I've heard about him, now I'm seeing it. He's backing it up with five game-winning RBIs. That's ridiculous … it's exactly what we needed."
He's the guy who has the Captain Morgan rum neon sign next to his locker that is powered up every time the Rays win a game at Tropicana Field.
He's the guy who called a team meeting in Chicago even though he had been a Tampa Bay Ray for exactly six regular-season games and was sporting a .053 average.
He's the guy, along with catcher Kelly Shoppach, who arranged a hitters-only meeting at Abe and Louie's steakhouse in Boston's back bay last week. The next day, the winning streak began with a 16-5 victory.
"I know the guys look up to me. They look at me as a champion; they look at me as a veteran ballplayer who really cares about the game," Damon said. "That's why I approach the game as I do. And the day I don't, I'll walk away."
Who knows how long it will last. The Rays still are a team with serious flaws on offense, and the bullpen is still largely untested. And Damon is still a 37-year-old whose on-base percentage has decreased each of the past two seasons.
But, for now, Damon has ignited a lineup that was left for dead. And he has livened up a clubhouse that had been stripped of much of its character.
"He has time for everybody, he's got a good word for everybody, he's got a smile for everybody and he's definitely got a very succinct message for everybody," Maddon said. "He's got 'em. He's got 'em. He's got 'em all.
"They're all in with him right now, and it's a beautiful thing."
Almost makes you want to sing.


text: Prosecutor not told ex-trooper falsified log By Gary A. Harki July 17, 2010 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The West Virginia State Police didn't tell Kanawha County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Plants that a former trooper likely committed a crime, according to court documents provided to the Gazette-Mail.The State Police says in the documents that former trooper Derek Snavely falsified his duty log - a fact they left out of their criminal investigation report to Plants' office. A Charleston woman had accused Snavely of forcing her to have sex with him.Based on the report, Plants decided not to prosecute Snavely. The woman has since sued Snavely and the State Police.Plants said that if the State Police knew that Snavely -- who now is the police chief in Hinton -- had falsified his duty log, it should have been included in the case file."I don't know that file. I'll have to take your word on it," he said. "What's important here is ... if that [falsified document] exists, that is something that we should have been made aware of. It should have been included in the report that I received."The 14-page Criminal Investigation Report, prepared by State Police 1st Lt. L.A. Bailes for Plants' office, makes no mention of a duty log, let alone of its being falsified. The log also is not mentioned in the list of exhibits attached to the report.However, the State Police, in response to a series of questions from the woman's lawyer, Mike Clifford, said Snavely clearly altered his duty log:"A copy of Defendant Snavely's duty log has previously been disclosed [to Clifford]. Notwithstanding, it is apparent that he falsified that log from the time that he met with Plaintiff until the end of his shift. Upon information and belief, the actions represented prior to Defendant Snavely's involvement with Plaintiff are accurate."Sgt. Michael Baylous, spokesman for the State Police, said he would not talk about the Snavely case. "I have discussed that with our legal counsel," he said. "I am not at liberty to make a statement on that case because it is currently in civil litigation."Altering public records is punishable by up to a year in jail or a $1,000 fine, according to State Code 61-5-22. The law reads that if any public officers "fraudulently make a false entry, or erase, alter or destroy any record in his keeping and belonging to his office ... he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor."Had Snavely been convicted of a misdemeanor, he probably would have been reviewed by the state Law Enforcement Training Subcommittee, which has the power to decertify police officers.The subcommittee has decided to consider decertifying officers only if they have been convicted of a jailable offense, Chuck Sadler, state law enforcement training coordinator, has said.Even if Snavely were decertified, he still could be Hinton's police chief, Sadler said. Snavely resigned from the State Police in December 2008, after the woman accused him of rape. Kanawha County prosecutors declined to bring charges against Snavely after reviewing the evidence presented to them, assistant Kanawha County prosecutor Dan Holstein has said. Two assistant prosecutors independently reviewed the case and agreed that there was no prosecutable offense, Holstein said.Jama Jarrett, spokeswoman for Gov. Joe Manchin, said the governor will not tolerate wrongdoing in any state agency."If someone partakes in criminal activities or is incompliant, then we will investigate and determine the consequences," she said, before noting that Snavely no longer works for the State Police and that the case was turned over to Plants' office."From that point, it's the responsibility of the judicial system to hear all applicable evidence and make a decision based on information presented," she said.In November 2009, the Gazette-Mail reported that several citizens had complained that Snavely harassed them.Robin Crawford claimed that Snavely harassed him August 2009 while giving him a parking ticket in the Summers County town. Crawford, who in 1987 was beaten by four officers from the Hinton police and Summers County Sheriff's Office, said he came out of the post office and Snavely told him not to drive off because he was going to write him a parking ticket. Crawford said he knew there was no money in the meter and didn't argue, but got in his car and waited for the ticket."Then he jerks me out of my car and starts barking instructions like I was on a plantation," said Crawford, who is black. "He said, 'I'll take your goddamn ass to jail.'"On Friday, Crawford said that he lives in Hinton, but doesn't often go out at night for fear of the chief of police."I don't feel safe being there," he said. "I live there, but I do all my business out of town. I hesitate to be caught by him."Clifford, the woman's attorney, said Friday that State Police attorneys contacted him after they learned that he had given the Gazette-Mail the State Police's answers from the woman's civil lawsuit against Snavely."It is my understanding that counsel for the defense is suggesting that I violated a secrecy order by letting you see the interrogatory answers and the official police report that was submitted to the prosecuting attorney," said Clifford, a former Kanawha County prosecutor."I deny vehemently that I violated any protective order ... ," he said. "What [State Police] generally do is accuse the accuser, and it's my position that they should have looked at this in earnest rather than trying to protect their officer, which is clearly what they did."Reach Gary Harki at email@example.com or 304-348-5163.

Characteristics of hazardous waste: Arkansas Regulation 23.261
Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) Hazardous Waste Division
See ADDRESSES & CONTACTS for addresses and telephone numbers.
See national section for basic information and federal regulations.
• Rules. Arkansas's regulations regarding characteristic wastes are the same as the federal. In fact, Arkansas's regulations mirror, to the greatest extent possible, the federal hazardous waste management regulations. The federal regulations in 40 CFR 261 have been adopted verbatim and have been modified only to represent the proper points of contact under the authorized state program. For example, Arkansas substitutes the ADEQ director for the reference to the EPA regional administrator in the federal regulations. For ease of cross-reference to the equivalent federal regulations, all paragraph numberings in the state regulations are the same as in the federal. The federal characteristic waste requirements are described in the national section CHARACTERISTIC WASTE.
Wastes may be classified as hazardous because of their characteristics or if they have been placed on hazardous waste lists by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. See the state sections HAZWASTE DETERMINATION (CLASSIFICATION) and LISTED WASTES for additional guidance.
Although Arkansas has received EPA authorization to administer the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) rules, ADEQ does not have authority to delist RCRA wastes. The federal rules and procedures for delisting petitions are effective in Arkansas. See the national section DELISTING PETITIONS for more information.
• Administration and enforcement.
