Methodist Sugar Land Hospital's Cancer Center celebrates National Cancer Survivors Day with luncheon—June 7, 2013Sugar Land, TX - 4/12/2013
Methodist Sugar Land Hospital will join over 14 million American cancer survivors in observing the 26th annual National Cancer Survivors Day® (NCSD) this year. Hundreds of communities worldwide will host events to celebrate life and demonstrate that there is hope. The contributions of the families, friends and health care providers who support cancer survivors will also be recognized.
Methodist Sugar Land Hospital's Cancer Survivors Day Celebration 2012
"Come learn how surviving cancer is more than just living. It's an attitude about life and living each day to the fullest," says Frances Goerlich, director of Methodist Sugar Land Hospital's Cancer Center. "You will find our community's NCSD event filled with joy, camaraderie, hope, compassion, faith, and love as we honor cancer survivors for their strength and courage."
"National Cancer Survivors Day is a great opportunity for cancer survivors, caregivers, friends and family to come together and affirm the possibility of quality of life after a diagnosis of cancer," added Clive Shkedy, M.D., radiation oncologist and medical director of Methodist Sugar Land Hospital's Cancer Center.
A "survivor" is anyone living with a history of cancer – from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life, according to the National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation. Cancer survivors may face many challenges such as hindered access to cancer specialists and promising new treatments, inadequate or no insurance, financial hardships, employment problems and psychological struggles. "Despite these difficulties, cancer survivors can live active, productive lives," says Dr. Shkedy.
Methodist Sugar Land Cancer Center welcomes all local cancer survivors, caregivers, community leaders, Methodist Sugar Land Hospital physicians and staff to join us as we honor the survivors living with a history of cancer in America today. The Cancer Survivors Day celebration and luncheon will be held Friday, June 7 from 11:45-1:00 p.m. at Methodist Sugar Land Hospital's conference center. RSVP Required. Call 281-274-7500 or email email@example.com to reserve a seat.

I have really sensitive skin and it especially shows on my hands-this is moisturizing without being to heavy and has a great clean smell without being overpowering
This smells great, and leaves the hands silky, not greasy! I was a little hesitant to order because of the price, but so worth it! A little definitely goes a long way.
Thanks to this brutal winter and my subpar glove-wearing, my hands have been very chapped. But after using this hand cream a few times, my hands are so smooth. The cream is thick, so I probably won't use it all the time, but it's perfect for a little winter TLC.
I love this lotion! It has a fabulous scent that is not too overpowering. Great to heal cracked or red skin on my dry hands - and elbows too! - during the dry, winter months.
I am completely addicted to the L'Occitane product line. ALl of their creams are absolutely amazing and not over fragranced. The shea is not at all a let down and I readily suggest this to any woman to get through East Coast winters.
Very moisturizing and quick drying and not greasy. Not in love with the scent though. Smells a little too much like baby powder or something.
This is hand-down, my favorite hand cream ever. It revives even middle of winter, gloveless, dried out hands within seconds of applying. It's non-greasy, so I can apply it while driving without losing the ability to hold the steering wheel, definite must since I am constantly on the go. A must have !
This is the best hand cream I have tried in years. It absorbs quickly and isn't super greasy. I love it.
I am absolutely in love with this shea butter hand cream! I have tried others and not one has compared to the long lasting effects of L'OCCITANE! I would recommend this to everyone!
This is the best hand cream ever. My hands were suffering big time from the winter weather and this was the only stuff that finally worked and didn't leave my hands all gross and greasy!

Here's a guide to manga heads:
On your picture: the eyes shouldn't slant down, the ears should be lower. Both ears and both eyes are different sizes and one's placed higher than the other. The neck should be straighter and thicker at the top. The top of the hair should be higher off the top of the head. The nose and mouth could stand to be a little lower.
The best advice I can give you is to do a hair and head study. Draw from references and study anatomy really well. It's the best way to improve!

by Tim Costello
We love the way this optimist shows us how to make hope come true
A World Vision CEO shares personal stories and anecdotes to inspire and give hope. He shows how some stories should be shared beyond a moment and a place, as they can be wonderful illustrations of the human experience.
In a world that is full of challenging and soul-wrenching events, Tim Costello shares stories he has encountered in often the most dramatic circumstances. He believes life has a way of giving us the power to persevere during hard times, and in Hope he shows us how.
Hope is a book to savor; it brings home the importance of love, life, and finding the best that there is to be found in people. A book that reminds us that even though there are so many who suffer, we can still find hope. And best of all, Costello proves that hope can be found in the smallest moments. 176 pages

LINCOLN — Call him "the realistic dreamer."
Tim Miles, Nebraska's second-year men's basketball coach, knows full well he runs one of the two power conference programs in the country without an NCAA tournament victory (Northwestern is the other).
Yet, here's what he said last week:
"The standard is to get to the NCAA tournament and win. That's not the goal. That's the standard."
At times, Miles openly and cold-bloodedly details the weaknesses of his players — and himself. Then he'll tell you a key to a successful season is never to set limitations on a team because you don't truly know what you have in November.
And in an era in which many coaches pad their nonconference schedules with patsies to reach 20 wins, he calls Duke.
"That's the thing with Coach," NU director of operations Jayden Olson said. "He'll try to play anybody."
Whether you consider Miles a mad scientist or simply mad, his style is helping football-centric Nebraskans quickly relearn whether a basketball is pumped or stuffed.
A single-game school-record crowd of 15,119 people jammed into Pinnacle Bank Arena on Friday night to watch Miles' Huskers punish Florida Gulf Coast 79-55 in the season opener.
What follows is a peek at Miles' blueprint for more victories and how to sustain interest in the program that long has been the black sheep of Nebraska athletics.
Identity/style of play
Miles claims no ties to "rules" on how to play. When you've rebuilt four programs, often starting with bubble gum and baling wire, you learn to do the best you can with what you've got.
"I want to win, so whatever it takes," he said. "Because I've had so many jobs and rebuilds, there's not a 'certain way' I want to play every time.
"I've had teams that always go inside. I've had teams that have never thrown it inside. It's my job as a coach to give us a chance to win every night, whatever we do."
That said, there are tenets Miles holds dear.
� Drink from the cup of easy baskets: transitions, free throws, open shots and second shots. Those are the four easiest baskets you can get.
� You control tempo by good defensive possessions where you make them take a long time to score.
� We are going to be fun to watch on offense and hard to play against on defense. We are going to be a physical team.
� Motion offense is a way of life, so I like highly skilled players who can make good decisions.
Nebraska is expected to sign just one player when the early letter-of-intent period opens for one week starting Wednesday. The Huskers have two scholarships open for 2014-15. Under Big Ten rules, they could over-sign by one.
The committed player is 6-foot-10, 235-pound Jacob Hammond from Duncan, Okla.
Miles doesn't see a problem not filling his allotment in the early period.
"I like to sign them early," he said. "But I don't view it problematic if we don't. It's changing, too. In the old days, if you didn't have two or three signed early, you were worried about it, like back in the '90s and early 2000s
"Now, it's a different game. Guys are waiting. There is way more free agency than ever before, whether it be signees or transfers."
Look for future Nebraska rosters to retain a foreign flavor, too, especially as the drought of top-level recruits out of the Omaha-Lincoln area continues into a second decade.
The Huskers already have a commitment for 2015 from 6-8 Keanu Pinder from Australia. They also have pursued 6-8 junior college forward Deng Deng, an Australian citizen who has lived in Sudan and Egypt.
Has Miles "cracked the code" on how to earn a high Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) number, which is one of the tools of the NCAA selection committee?
"I've been accused of that by SportsIllustrated.com," he said, "and then ESPN picked up on it."
Consider Miles' first season at Nebraska. The Huskers (15-18) were the only team in the country with a losing record to finish in the RPI Top 100.
That's why you see Florida Gulf Coast and the Charleston Classic and a road game against Cincinnati this season, even with more scholarship newcomers (seven) than returnees (five).
"I've talked to some of the members of the selection committee," Miles said. "They say it really matters to us what you do and what you can control. You can't control how good your league is going to be, but you can control who you play in the nonconference.
"That seemed to make sense to me to play good teams. So we have."
Miles' postscript to that: "I'm not going into the Hall of Fame anyway. I don't need a career record that is sparkling."
Media dealings
Miles is the darling of the Big Ten media corps with his jokes, self-deprecating humor and tweets at halftime.
Some of it is shtick. Yet there is a method to it, too, especially at a program in dire need of a face.
"I am a coach at heart, and dealing with the media part is an obligation," Miles said. "I try to enjoy everything I do in life, so I try to enjoy the process of dealing with the media.
"Sometimes people worry, 'How does he come off?' I know how I am and how my team plays. I'm secure with that."
Miles has used this general plan of style, recruiting, scheduling and public relations for success at an NAIA Division II school (Mayville State), an NCAA Division II school (Southwest Minnesota State), a D-II school transitioning to Division I (North Dakota State) and a mid-major D-I (Colorado State).
Skeptics wonder if it will work in the Big Ten, which again will challenge for the title of toughest conference in the country.
Miles, the realist, understands the questions. Miles, the dreamer, doesn't let them weigh him down.
"Everywhere we've been, we've driven attendance and won games," he said. "We intend to continue to do the same."

What we say and write about the United States is patently untrue. We are not the great nation or people that we love to think we are. This is not a partisan view. The vast majority of Americans want our nation to be good, to be moral, to be ethical. We are not. We have surrendered to war and greed. This is not a new development. Both political parties share in this organized conspiracy.
When Abraham Lincoln, a Republican, was the President of the United Sates of America he tried to hold onto a moral compass, to do what was morally and ethically right. Our democracy has changed bit by bit since that time. With all the fear and criticism of government today, it seems that Lincoln held a different idea:
WFB - Top 2010 Stories
Top 10 WFB Stories of 2010:
10. Naked Mailman puts Whitefish Bay on the map.
9. Bay Ball comes back with a rumble at the Harley Museum.
8. Armory Park is finished and dedicated.
7. WFB undergoes most infrastructure re-construction in decades.
6. 2009 School Referendum costs 40% lower than expected due to low construction cost and low interest rate loans ranging from 0% to 2.7%.
5. Changes on Silver Spring: Peabody's, Cavalry Games, Schmidt & Bartlett Funeral, Giraffe close. Three Wishes, Minoan, Penzey's open. Fox Bay Condos project dies. Silver Spring Farmers' Market first year is huge success. City Market buys property, Village falls asleep waiting for construction to complete.
4. Leadership changes - Long time WFB Clerk/Treasurer Barb Patin and Village Manager Jim Grassman retire. President Pritchard declines to run for 4th term. Superintendent Jim Rickabaugh retires.
3. Flooding
2. Flooding
1. Flooding - The deluge in July was clearly the top story of 2010 by a wide margin. The 8+ inch rain was called a 700-year flood by the Journal Sentinel. Hundreds of homes in the Village were inundated by sewer backups and other rain-water related problems. The Village experienced two other rounds of flooding, including the infamous "Manhole Popper" episode, whereby two residents opened a street manhole and drained thousands of gallons of rain into the sanitary sewer, later fined $3,000.
The New Adjenda
The 112th Congress is about to get started. As always, it is accompanied with hope and aspiration that the right issues will be handled in an effective way. What is important this year? Is it the same thing as last year? Or the year before?
This year will be different. The Republicans will be in charge of the House of Representatives. Already, the Democrats are asking the new speaker of the house, John Boehner, where are the jobs? Yes, job creation is probably the biggest issue facing the country today. And yes, we need results now. But, what were the Democrats doing for the past two years? Weren't they swept into office with an assignment and an agenda to get America out of the recession? Even though the recession has technically ended a year and a half ago, most consumer behavior reflects that of still being in the recession. So, whatever happened to hope? What happened to the change that we wanted to believe it? The time came for change again.
WFB - No Trustee Candidates
So .. who is the next contestant on Who Wants to be a WFB Trustee?
In America today we are engaged in extreme opinions and perspectives from the right and the left. As we sit on our perch at the extremes, thinking we are right and the other side is wrong, we get crazy. We develop nutty opinions that lose our sense of logic and rationality. Sometimes, though we don't always realize it, our extremes come face to face with one another. Coming from different sides, we nevertheless face each other in a similar position. Often we are so committed to our nutty extreme that we don't realize how goofy we have become.
A case in point is the Mark Twain classic novel, Huckleberry Finn. Coming from the left we have the politically correct people who see in the use of words such as "nigger" to be so offensive that the book should be altered or words changed. Coming from the right are the people who think it is like a swear word or certainly not an appropriate word to be used in public, even in a book that might, for heaven's sake, be read by children!
Young, Angry, and Wrong
The attempted assassination on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords represents a sad day in America. Lives were destroyed and America was changed. As a result, we will now be rethinking the way that we approach and have access to our elected officials. What made America great was the access that we had to our lawmakers in the approachability that they made available to us. They are one of us, they are representative of the people.
What was equally shocking is the reaction that people are giving from this. People were shocked, saddened, and disgusted at the attempted assassination of the Congresswoman and the assassinations of six others. But what was not expected was the sharp divisive reaction that the mainstream media was attaching to this.
I am an American. Those were my sisters and brothers who were shot in Tucson. It is a time to stop, reflect, and act in a civil manner. It is not time to over-react.
WFB Crime update, City Market, etc.
First up, a crime update.
Did you notice the wide difference between the public statements made by Sarah Palin and Barack Obama regarding last Saturday's shootings in Tucson, Arizona? How do you account for that?
It is clear that the ice at both geographic polar regions is melting. This is very clear from aerial photos from airplanes and satellites. Scientific measurements of air and ocean water temperatures are rising. This all puts more water into the atmosphere. It may only be a degree or two, but this is a trend that finds more and more water in the air, and into the oceans.
The term "global warming" is difficult to discern over the short term, but CLIMATE CHANGE is occuring.
After getting to know the Martin Luther King family in the 1960s, it is special just to type in his name at the head of my blog. Besides the many great contributions of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., I have trumpeted for over 40 years the fact that someone, someday is going to recognize the impact "Daddy King" had on his son's life. Not many people know that the Rev. Martin Luther King, Sr. was also a special man in the tradition of a proud, poor Baptist preacher who held firmly to moral and ethical principles. If you knew the family, you also would recognize the impact the elder Martin Luther King had on his son.
In this time slot each year Martin Luther King Day is being celebrated, and many people will compose treatises far better than I about his legacy. Only sick white supremicists would deny King's greatness. But his legacy has been commercialized, prostituted and made more comfortably "white."
Technology as a Substitute
Recently there was a story in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel which discussed new teaching methods. In the coming years, it was reported that teaching methods and learning methods for longer include a pencil and paper. What hath God wrought?
While it almost always seems like a good idea to have technology make our lives easier, it comes with a price. The price is losing the way that we have always done things. Some of us can remember back when we were kids, when we wanted to change the channel on the TV, we had to get up and walk across the room. Nowadays, you have to get up and walk across the room to find the remote control. Certainly, nobody misses that.
It was my intent to write a very different blog this morning [Wednesday]. However I was tuned into NBC-TV's "Today Show" and caught the interview with Glenn Beck. To say his boorish behavior was nauseating would be an understatement. He had a very difficult time allowing Meredith to finish her questions of him before butting in with his arrogant, self-congratulatory "answer." There actually were not answers, there were self-proclamations about himself and how great he is. And FOX and others pay this buffoon about $25 million a year for such self-boasting. Disgusting.
And then I turned on the computer and read that the newly elected Governor of Alabama, swept in with the Tea Party tide, speaking at Dexter Street Baptist Church in Montgomery where the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. once served as pastor, ...the Governor stated that if you do not believe in Jesus you are not his brother or sister. He refered to whom he will serve as the governor. How's that for a "take" on Christianity ...to say nothing of the U.S. Constitution? Such distortion and self-elevation is becoming commonplace in today's political, cultural, and religious climate. It is indeed sickening.
The Fairness Doctrine had prevailed for many years to keep some fairness and sanity in the media, in political campaigns, etc. Ronald Reagan fought to get rid of it when he became president, and he succeeded. Since then the media and elections have spiraled out of control, impacted by the influence of money, extreme perspectives, elections purchased, civility disappearing from public discourse, etc. We now stand amidst the hateful debris left from that action in 1987. We are no longer a united nation, we have become alienated from each other, and our ideas and perspectives have been swindled away by the biggest bidder and the loudest louts. The fairness that was not always fair, was now completely gone. In a certain sense we hate each other. And I am not guiltless in this morass.
We are now splintered, a scattered people reaching out for some semblance of identity with disappearing ideals, and the passing of the "American Dream." The hope for a piece of this Dream no longer exists for many. We see our viewpoint as holding the only "facts" and therefore we feel we can try in any way possible to destroy anyone or any group different than us. We don't have enough wars elsewhere, we now start wars against ourselves. It is not enough to have the biggest guns, we have to carry them secretly. It is as though we are on a crazy drive to find weapons that will give us a physical extension of our sex organ. I do not disagree with you, I want to destroy you. And the media is accommodating our hateful "taste." The new "intellect" is wrapped up in "I've got mine, too bad about you."
Congress and Symbolism
From the early days of the country, Congress has engaged in passing symbolic measures. Such measures have declared holidays, recognized accomplished citizens, and passed other measures which at the time may have seemed important but have actually had no impact on day-to-day life for the long-term.
Last week's expected vote on the repeal of the health care bill provided no surprises. It was regarded as a symbolic vote that the Republicans made to fulfill campaign promises and is not expected to make it to the Senate floor. So why did they do it?
You cannot dip your toe into the water of guns in the U.S. without offending someone or some group. Nevertheless, I plan to do so here. I offer these words to open the discussion. Increasingly, evidence and events insist that we have this discussion about guns and gun control. Even extremists should be open to discuss the subject objectively. Here's my try...
It usually begins with the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It does NOT state what most gun advocates say it does. Here it is exactly as written, every word:
A man and his young son are out early in the morning on a journey that they both hope will be enjoyable and the father especially hopes it will be informative and bonding. The father speaks to his son...
Isn't it wonderful, son, to be out in the woods together? I hope you learn from me. This is a marvelous way for us to get to know each other, and I can teach you some of life's lessons. I want you to know how much I love you. And I want you to know that I want you to learn from my example.
Some years ago, after already having met some heavyweight political leaders in the U.S., I had a private audience with Willy Brandt, then Chancellor of West Germany. Instantly I recognized his leadership attributes. And I was intensely aware how most American political leaders paled by comparison.
Now, many years later, I review the field of top political leaders in the U.S. today. What a depressing review it is. Over and over through the years, as I saw presidential candidates come and go here, I always thought to myself, "Is this the best we can do?"
Since the 1990s we have more and more been faced with the onslaught of a new age in communication, news, correspondence, media, privacy, reading, language, ad infinitum. Depending on many things, your reaction to this dramatic change may be quite varied. Some observations...
Newspapers no longer are the main source for news...today it has been reported from major book sellers that newly printed books are in a minority in sales...because of the anonymity in cyberspace we have become much more hostile and confrontational with each other...people with cell phones do not seem to have any concept of their talking invading my space and I have to listen to inane conversations...we have no idea what we are doing to our children who more and more are addicted to and overly focused on cyberspace...people are using proper language less and less...kids do not know how to spell...we no longer realize what we are doing to education...adults and especially kids cannot keep focused on anything for more than a few minutes...accurate history and documentation have been replaced by Wikipedia and other far less reliable reference sources that have information that is often not only inaccurate but lacks authentication...immediate information is seen as more imporatant to accurate information...we make tons of excuses for the negative aspects of the cyber invasion...we seem overly concerned with aspects of our own and others private lives...we have no concept of how permanent are things we unload into cyberspace...there is an ongoing battle between parents and children about computer use and selection of subject matter...pornography is rampant in cyberspace...naive or immature people are duped and taken advantage of via cyberspace...we no longer practice interpersonal niceties in cyberspace and in our "regular" lives...temptation abounds in cyberspace...children are exposed to things that they are not equipped to handle...opinions on political matters have become more confrontational and hostile...one can be uneducated and uncultured and find a world of ignorance within which they can live a self-directed life and lifestyle...cyber-hostility is creeping into our daily lives in all areas...it is thought by many that it isn't important unless "confirmed" in cyberspace...it has created a chasm between generations...it has made us lazy...study habits are seen as less and less important...our "discoveries" are more and more self-reflected and less about broader science...in a sense there is a war going on between generations and levels of education and genders and religions and families and cultures and aptitude, etc....we are losing our empathy for others...greed more and more rules!...who are our enemies and where are they?...
The State of the Union
We have seen the state of the union and apparently were not spending enough money to sustain it.
In his address to Congress, President Obama set to sound optimistic. Well, of course we want to be optimistic and upbeat about the direction of our country. Coming out of a great recession, we are still at a paradigm that we are not confident about the economic status of the country. Unemployment is still too high, housing prices are still depressed, and we still do not feel confident about expanding small businesses and taking on large debt. In short, we are still in the recession mindset.

Lumbar Stenosis Treatment
Stenosis is caused, in many cases, due to the natural aging process which narrows the spinal cord. Just as lime builds up in your garden hose, the bones and ligaments of the spinal facet joints thicken and form arches that push into the spinal canal with advancing age. The spinal canal contains nerves that include the sciatic nerve, which provides sensation and support to the legs. A reduced diameter of the canal leads to compression of the nerves and causes sciatica.
Stenosis may occur anywhere in the different regions of the spinal column. Low back pain caused by a gradual deterioration of the vertebrae and the consequent narrowing of the lumbosacral spine is a prominent cause of morbidity and disability.
Stenosis of the lumbar spinal canal causes an arthritic pain of the lower back and legs that seems to be present over a large region and is often disabling. Severe lumbar stenosis may result in claudication – a disability to walking due to crippling legs or feet.
Medical treatment of lumbar stenosis involves the following:
- Bed rest
- Pain management
- Physical therapy, including exercise and yoga
- Sciatica alternative remedies like homeopathy, acupuncture and herbal therapy
As lumbar stenosis occurs mostly in middle-aged or elderly people, surgical treatment is done only after taking into account any related diseases that may be present. Usually the disability and discomfort experienced by patients is so high that they are eager to take the risks involved in surgery. Invasive sciatic nerve treatment for lumbar stenosis involves surgical decompression of the sciatic nerve by different types of surgical procedures:
- Standard surgical removal of the bony arches that form on the vertebrae (laminectomy) involves a midline incision over the affected level of the spine. The surgeon then removes the spine-like arches, extra bony layer and pedicles that are causing the compression.
- Lumbar stenosis usually occurs at more than one level, which requires the same procedure and a multilevel laminectomy is performed.
- Alternative surgical techniques can also be performed where multilevel laminotomy, which is a procedure that creates a new small opening (fenestra), is believed to minimize post operative complications.
- Newer invasive procedures involving complete removal and reattachment of vertebral arches and decompression of the space within the spinal canal (lateral recesses).
Irrespective of which procedure is performed, the success of surgical decompression depends upon the anatomical location of problem. An inadequate decompression often leads to incomplete relief from symptoms and to an increased risk of recurrence.
It is not always so that spinal stenosis causes symptoms in all those affected by it. Many people show significant signs of the condition in imaging tests but still show no signs of discomfort or disability. If the symptoms do occur, they can be extremely debilitating. In such cases, treatment becomes a priority.

Export Requirements for Cathode Ray Tubes
A cathode ray tube (CRT) is the glass video display component of an electronic device (usually a television or computer monitor). On July 28, 2006 EPA finalized the rule streamlining the management requirements for the recycling of used CRTs and glass removed from CRTs under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
Revision to Export Provisions of Cathode Ray Tube Rule
EPA has proposed changes to the notification requirements for CRTs exported for reuse or recycling. The docket for this rulemaking is EPA-HQ-RCRA-2011-1014 and can be accessed at Regulations.gov. The Public Comment period closed on May 14, 2012.
Export Requirements in the CRT Final Rule
Used CRTs (Broken and Intact) Exported for Recycling
Used CRTs exported for recycling must comply with requirements that are specified in detail in 40 CFR 261.39(a)(5). Below is a summary of these requirements. They are:
- Notify EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assistance (OECA) of an intended shipment 60 days before the shipment. Notification may cover exports extending over a 12-month or shorter period.
Notification must include contact information about the exporter and recycler, and an alternate recycler. It must also include a description of the recycling, frequency and rate of export, means of transport, total quantity of CRTs, and information about transit countries.
- OECA will notify the receiving country and transit countries. When the receiving country consents in writing to the receipt of the CRTs, OECA will forward the consent to the exporter. The exporter may not ship the CRTs until he receives the consent.
- If the receiving country does not consent or withdraws a prior consent, EPA will notify the exporter in writing. Exporters must keep copies of notifications and consents for three years following receipt of the consent.
- Consent is not required from transit countries, but EPA will notify the exporter of any responses from these countries.
- Companies approved to export CRTs for recycling
CRT Glass Exported for Recycling
- Processed glass (i.e., CRT glass that has been sorted) is not subject to export requirements. Unsorted glass would be considered a "broken CRT" and would be subject to export requirements.
Used Intact CRTs Exported for Reuse
- Persons who export used, intact CRTs for reuse must submit a one-time notification to the appropriate EPA Regional Administrator, with a copy to the Regional Import-Export Coordinator. The notification must contain contact information and a statement that they are exporting the CRTs for reuse (see 40 CFR 261.41). They must keep copies of normal business records demonstrating that each shipment will be reused. Records must be retained for three years.
- Companies exporting used intact CRTs for reuse
Unused Intact CRTs Exported for Reuse or Recycling
- No regulatory requirements - these are considered commercial products or commercial chemical products being reclaimed.

How to Use Instagram to Build a Community & Tell Your Brand's Story
Within 10 days of the news that Facebook was investing $1 billion to acquire Instagram, the then iPhone-only photo sharing app announced that it would finally be making itself available to Android users. 6 days later they had amassed over 5 million new downloads, a number that has continued to grow steadily ever since.
Over the course of 2 weeks, Instagram evolved from a basic yet highly effective tool for "making pictures look old" (and upping your hipster cred) into a full-fledged social media channel that is providing us with a look into the future of marketing. If content currently reigns as king, visuals + content is the prince patiently waiting for his turn on the throne.
Truly, Instagram is the first social platform that places major corporations such as Target and Starbucks alongside fledgling food trucks and mom and pop antique shops on an even playing field. Each is challenged with determining how to offer value and a story worth telling to their audience via the lens of their smart phone, and the innovative approaches we've seen so far already serve as a testament to the potential to be tapped.
Create a Story Worth Telling
The foundation of a successful Instagram strategy is a good story. Ideally, these stories will be in some way related to the business pushing them out, but we're quickly entering into a new age of marketing where consumers care less about what a brand is and more about the story the brand tells.
The truth is, simply creating a profile and throwing up a few images won't be enough.
One example of a company fully harnessing the power of branding via visual storytelling is Red Bull.
However, few businesses have the inherent marketability (or multi-million dollar budget) possessed by a company such as Red Bull, so how can a generally "un-exciting" industry inspire creativity while staying true to who they are and what they do?
Take a Peek Behind the Curtain
Nearly every film released on DVD or Blu-Ray in the last 10 years has come packed with some sort of behind the scenes features or commentary. It's a huge clue to the the fact that people just love that little bit of extra insight that comes from taking a peek behind the curtain to see the process that goes into creating something they love. This can work for anyone, in any industry, as long as a little bit of thought and creativity go into the process.
A computer screen and coffee mug with the tag #office won't be exciting anyone, but snapping a unique angle from a meeting that showcases your team working together is a great way to capture a passing moment which can be used to offer an interesting snapshot of your daily life.
Or you can just make people jealous by showing them how much fun you have at work like quirky clothing company, Threadless.
Fashion label Kate Spade takes the spotlight off their beautiful handbags and accessories to show you what's on their playlist. El Scorcho!
Another company doing an amazing job of this is General Electric…Wait, why would you EVER want to follow GE on Instagram? Well, because they manage to be pretty dang fascinating.
Offering inside looks at manufacturing plants, research labs, and other large, complicated machinery that manages to look awesome when put under the filters has proven extremely effective in attracting almost 87,000 followers. And they make you smarter. The more you know, indeed.
(Re)search & Destroy
Browser-based Instagram tools such as Web.Stagram, Statigram or Search Instagram provide you with a direct link to your audience and what they're actually saying about your product or industry. Utilize popular #hashtags to your advantage by discovering what's already been said, and how you might be able to add some value to the conversation.
Build a Sustainable Community
International hotel chain NH Hoteles' #wakeuppics campaign is a perfect example of a simple challenge that encourages community involvement without forcing a sales pitch on the user. The hotel asked users to take a picture of what they see when they wake up and post it with the hashtag #wakeuppics, and they would be automatically entered to win a travel package at one of their hotels. The tag has grown and grown, and is now associated with over 11,000 images from users spanning the entire globe. The contest is over, but the STORIES continue to unfold. Browsing the tag, one is transported to exotic locations in the tropics as well as corner coffee shops in Albuquerque and everywhere inbetween.
The underlying message here is that a little creativity and a clever idea can be the launch pad for a global community of visual storytelling.
Hold a Contest, Invite Interaction
Running an Instagram-only contest is simple, effective, and when done well can be an incredible tool for branding and capitalizing on the types of activities customers are already engaged in.
Sak's 5th Avenue is currently holding an Instagram exclusive contest where shoppers are challenged with snapping a shot of their most desired item or look and posting it with the tag #SeeYouAtSaks for the chance to win $1,000. Each photo is transformed into a free ad for the product in question and participating in the contest requires customers to actually walk into the stores and browse, whether they win or not.
Brooklyn Bowl ran a similar competition where bowlers simply had to tag photos of themselves munching on some grub from their recently revamped brunch menu and tag it #BBrunch for a chance to win a pair of tickets to any of the concerts held at their local venue. Let's be honest…we all know you're already posting pictures of what your eating for breakfast anyways, might as well win some tickets for it!
Using your brand account, comment, "heart" and share some of the best submissions. This crowdsourced photo gallery offers the perfect opportunity to create an album of the best submissions to be shared on your Facebook account or website.
Pro Tip: Neil Patel thought of an awesomely efficient way to manage contest entries with a high number of submissions by creating an Instagram RSS feed. Begin by requiring users to submit their photos with a branded #hashtag that revolves around the theme of the contest in order to be considered for the prize.
"The best way to do this [manage high volume submissions] is to create a RSS feed and point it to a reader using this address: http://instagr.am/tags/[hashtag name]/feed/recent.rss. Don't include the hash mark # in this address."
He further suggests maximizing the return on your efforts by announcing the winner on the main page of your website, and similarly, directing social media announcements there as well in order to drive links and traffic to your own domain. Good on ya, Neil!
Use Collages to Convey Your Story
MIHO Gastrotruck is one of the most popular mobile food trucks in San Diego, and their Instagram channel is filled with mouth-watering images from their revolving menu. By combining multiple images into a collage using apps like GetLoupe or HoneyGram, they can convey an entire story with one simple post, inviting their followers to "heart" and comment.
Spread the Love and Offer Incentives
Sometimes, it almost seems like Instagram was built with the savvy marketer in mind. Posting across your company's various social channels is literally as easy as checking the appropriate boxes before you hit "post!" The visual medium translates well to both Facebook and Twitter, allowing you to share across all audience channels.
Consider offering exclusive content or special promotions to your Instagram followers before announcing it elsewhere to help motivate your audience to follow. Despite its growing popularity, people may not assume your brand will have an Instagram account like they might for Facebook or Twitter.
Surfline, the popular wave forcasting and surf media site now offers their 5,000 Instagram followers exclusive video clips before they are released to the general public and promotes it on their Facebook page where they have a more established presence and almost 90,000 fans.
When coffee giant Starbucks wanted to announce their newest drink special, they did it on Instagram. Not only did it alert followers of Frappunccino Happy Hour, but it also encouraged customers to use the hashtag #frappuccinohappyhour while visiting Starbucks.
Get Geeky with the API and Innovate
Some notable artists and companies have already utilized the recently released Instagram API to integrate photo submissions into their own campaigns and websites in order to enhance their fan's experience.
Electronica DJ Moby built a microsite that placed geo-tagged photos featuring the hashtag #destroyed on a map of the world to help promote his new album.
The main page of the metal band Deftones is a stream of tweets and Instagrammed photos.
Consistently Make the Mundane Magnificent
The key to keeping your Instagram worthy of filling up your audience's feed and attracting new followers is the same as any other social platform: consistency and quality. Sure, Red Bull has branded helicopters dropping snowboarders on top of 14,000 foot mountains but you've got plenty of tools of your own. The most important of those being your own imagination.
The wonderful thing about Instagram is how simple it is to make the minutae of life seem exciting and vibrant. Showcasing a vacancy in your apartment complex? Utilize the collages we mentioned earlier to add a layer of style to your ad. Google some basic photography techniques and try implementing them in your next photo. Your compact smartphone allows you find yourself in unique places where you wouldn't normally lug a camera around, so use that to your advantage by taking a moment to crouch down and see the world around you in a new way.
Instagram, as basic as it seems, offers a unique opportunity to brands that might otherwise remain faceless entitites behind a logo. It allows you to create your own unique story and invite others to sit around the digital campfire to hear and see it.
Funny how a simple tool that was once only used to remind us of the old manages to represent everything that's new.

Available in both video and text format for your convenience
Hi there. Today I speak briefly about the law school's work in the area of learning outcomes and assessment.Let me start with the overall mission of the law school: that is, to provide our students with the strongest preparation for employment and professional growth in legal practice, public service, and a broad range of other law-related careers.Well, how do we know that we are in fact achieving that mission?One measure might be simply to look at our bar exam passage rate, but that does not tell us much about whether we are producing effective and ethical advocates and problem-solvers.Your learning objectives should be broader than knowledge of the subjects tested on the bar exam. They should include working knowledge of how the legal system actually operates; how to understand, communicate, and resolve client problems; and how to promote and improve the service of lawyers to the community.The process of developing learning outcomes, and a program to assess whether we are meeting those objectives, is simply a way for framing a conversation in which we should always be engaged. We should routinely ask ourselves whether our J.D. program is working as intended.So, in May 2009, the law faculty adopted a three-year assessment plan. It has several components.At the outset, when students know what we are trying to teach them, they are more likely to learn. So the first step is to communicate our learning objectives. We actually started in October 2007 to state explicitly what Hamline law graduates should be able to achieve in terms of substantive legal knowledge, practice and problem-solving skills, and professional attributes like ethics and civility.Next, we have devoted increased attention to our classroom teaching. Our faculty established a Committee on Teaching and Learning. That committee is charged with educating our faculty on "best practices" in teaching that increase student engagement and improve the classroom experience.Third, we are beginning conversations among the faculty about the objectives of our individual law courses. This dialogue will initially focus on the first-year courses and include discussion about our grading policies and other assessment standards.Fourth, we've adopted the long-term goal of developing tools to measure whether the J.D. program as a whole is meeting its broader objectives of effectively preparing students as professionals. That is what we call program-level assessment. For example, it's one thing to determine whether a first-year student has passed the Legal Research and Writing course. It is quite another task to measure whether that student's writing has improved in the next two years before graduation.Our work on learning outcomes could not be more timely. The American Bar Association, which accredits all American law schools, is now considering revised standards that would put a greater emphasis on student learning outcomes. The proposed standards would require each law school (1) to define and communicate learning outcomes; (2) to design its curriculum to ensure that graduates achieve those outcomes; (3) to employ a variety of assessment methods to provide meaningful feedback to students; and (4) to measure the law school's institutional effectiveness in delivering its learning outcomes.The proposed ABA standards mirror the plan Hamline embarked on three years ago. We are proud to be on the leading edge of a movement to ensure that law schools actually deliver the rigorous education program essential to preparing students to succeed professionally.Thanks for listening today. We'll see you next time.

New York Times (12.01.12)
Health officials in Greece warned of a huge increase in HIV infection in Athens, particularly among injecting drug users. Officials said that from 2008?2010, there were 10 to 14 new cases of HIV among drug users in Athens each year, but that the number had increased to 206 cases in 2011 and 487 by October of 2012. In the meantime, needle distribution programs are having difficulty finding funds. Greece is struggling through a financial crisis, which has led to deep cuts in health care and drug treatment programs. Marc Sprenger, director of the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, commented that the situation needed to be handled quickly to prevent it from spiraling out of control.

Support Bay View
John Manke is an active former Bay View resident who is involved in numerous neighborhood organizations, including the Bay View Historical Society, the Humboldt Park Fourth of July Association and the Shore Shore Farmers Market. He believes Bay View has a fine tradition in its past that we do not want to lose in the future.
Children with life threatening illnesses
At this time of the year I think of the children who have life threatening diseases. Leukemia, lymphoma,
bone cancer, anemia, other forms of cancer, cystic fibrosis, polio, Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS) and other forms of illnesses that could be fatal are examples.
These children due to no fault of their own must stay in or visit hospitals. Much of their childhood is left behind while they fight their disease. It might be nice to pay a visit to Children's Hospital and bring along some teddy bears for the children. Clowns and other characters from various business location could help amuse the children. Sometimes you can bring coloring books and crayons for them to play with. Books to read and puzzles are also nice to receive. Old greeting cards can be used by the children to create their own new cards or to make pictures with.
Technology in Bay View - then and now
When the pioneers came to Bay View, there was only hard manual labor to use as technology. As the years went on, more and more labor saving devices were created and brought to Bay View. When plays were held at the Puddlers Hall, no sound system was available. People had to be quiet to hear the actors as they presented their plays. No electricity existed in the village, so all things were done in the dark with a oil lamp or gas lights to allow them to hear. When heat came from the furnace, everybody tried to fight to get as close as possible to the heat source. In the kitchen, the coal stove became a food making device, a heating device, a place to dry clothes in a hurry and a place to relax in family activities such as reading, sewing, washing clothes, giving the family baths, and a place to eat the family food.
In summer, when the heat got unbearable, summer kitchens were used for cooking the food. This way the house did not get all of the heat from the stove. Most of the family clothes were made by the mother during the day time. If
special dress clothes were needed, the family went to the neighborhood general store to buy them or barter for them. Weddings, funerals, baptisms, church going and other formal occasions required special clothes. Old flour sacks were turned into beautiful dresses for the girls and ladies. Men's clothing was made in a similar fashion. Worn out clothing was turned into quilts and blankets for the family. Grease from cooking was made into soap for washing clothes and people. Very little was wasted in those years.
What Bay View Brought to Milwaukee
Did you know that when Bay View merged into Milwaukee, that Milwaukee gained a huge industrial base?
It seems that the Bay View Rolling Mill, Reliance Works( later E.P. Allis Company, then Allis-Chalmers Company), Nordberg Manufactoring Company, Vilter Company, Badger Die Company, Kearney-Trecker Company, Milwaukee Valve Company, Meyer Organ Company, Perfex Company, Heil Company, Milwaukee Drop Forge Company, American Motors Parts Division, Wrought Washer, Northern Glass Works, Louis Allis and other companies all had plants in Bay View. Some companies came earlier and some came later in time.
Bowling alleys and their history
When the German settlers came to Milwaukee, they brought with them one of their favorite pastimes. The "Kegler" was what the Germans called a bowler. Many of the German churches installed bowling alleys in their basements or in their school basements. St. Lucas Evangelical Lutheran Church had a bowling alley in their school basement. The Major Seminary had a bowling alley inside of one of their buildings. St. Martini's Lutheran Church on S. 16th St. still has a bowling alley there.
In recent times, most of these places have dropped their bowling alleys for lack of use and needed space in the buildings. The German triangle of Cincinnati, Ohio, St. Louis, Missouri and Milwaukee, Wisconsin all had large German populations with many of their churches having bowling alleys in them. This is why bowling has always been so popular in this area and why Milwaukee is the bowling capitol of the United States and has the Bowling Hall of Fame here.
Health Department Rules When We Were Children
When we were kids, the Milwaukee Health Department used to hang a quarantine sign on the door of a house when we had measles, mumps, chicken pox, scarlet fever and polio. At that time the doctors were unsure as to what these diseases were caused by and what caused them to spread. Parents used to hope that if one child caught measles, mumps or chicken pox, then maybe all of the kids in the family would get them and become immune to later attacks of the same diseases. Once over the disease, children were not expected to get any further attacks of it. We learned later that chicken pox comes back as shingles and that polio can come back in adult form. At one time they thought that multiple sclerosis was the older comeback of measles, but now that is in doubt. When adults caught these childhood diseases, the results could be fatal. Thought of as a child's disease, the adult version was ignored by person who got it, and their neglect of the illness would cause their deaths.
Now that we know more about these diseases, the health department no longer hangs a quarantine sign on any house. There still are diseases that need a quarantine sign like TB , meningitis and bacterial forms that are immune to antibiotics. Most of these diseases are taken care of in a hospital. Be happy that you no longer have to have a sign posted on your door advising people to avoid contact with you or your family. When the sign was up, none of your friends could come over, unless they had the disease before and were therefore thought to be immune to its effects. Back then, we had no television to watch while sick. We could only read books or listen to the radio. We could hear all of our friends playing outside and want to join them at play. But no, we were confined to the house during quarantine time.
Fred Schumacher -- my great-grandfather
Fred Schumacher was born in an area close to Stettin, Germany. He came to America and settled and raised a family in Janesville, Wisconsin. His first wife died. He then went to St. Louis, Missouri to join the U. S. Army to fight in the American Civil War. After the Civil War, he came to Bay View and married a widow named Johanna. She had several children and together they had more children. He worked in the blast furnace of the Bay View Rolling Mill. When the Village of Bay View was incorporated in 1879, he was one of the people to sign the incorporation papers.
When the U.S. Census of 1880 came out, he was listed as not being able to read or write English. During the Civil War, he was said to have personally delivered some papers to President Abraham Lincoln. He lived well into his 80's before he passed away. He used to walk in the neighborhood with his white beard and cane and talk with neighbors. His garden was well kept up and he enjoyed working with plants. He most likely had many good stories to tell about his past. Most of the people that knew him are now also deceased. He lived a good life and worked hard at the Rolling Mill when he was younger. It must have been horrible to work in a blast furnace during the summer months.
Winter driving conditions
I have noticed that in snowy or icy conditions, many drivers do not know how to control their cars. It takes a lot more braking time and distance to bring your car to a stop under these conditions. Do not drive any faster than you can stop your car. Allow extra distance between you and the next driver. If you hit your brakes too hard, you could go into a ditch or hit something as you stop. Allow enough distance and speed to allow a pedestrian to safely cross a street without you hitting that person. A child could run out into the street and you might be unable to stop in time. By slowing down, you will allow enough time to safely permit the child to enter the street.
The car horn is useless in snow. If you honk your horn, you could cause a person ahead or behind you to panic. Strong powers of observation are needed in stormy weather.
YWCA Terpsichorean Club
Back in the 1950's at the YWCA Building at 610 N. Jackson St., Henry W. Altstadt held dance classes and
founded a club known as the YWCA Terpsichorean Club.
The YWCA held a dance every Thursday night for all interested people to do ballroom dancing in the auditorium. People from all walks of life came there to dance and to meet people. There were college students, high school students, ballroom dance class students and people of all ages at the dance. Don Martin was one of the band directors at the dance. It was a chance to show off your ballroom dancing skills and to meet other people.
Bay View's ethnic population
When I was growing up in Bay View, we had almost every nationality on our block. We had German, Irish, French, English, Danish, Polish, and Italian. It always amazed me to see so many nationalities live together in harmony without fighting or yelling at each other. As kids, we all played together without discussing our various nationalities or faiths.
Bay View has always been unique in that neighbors got to know each other. People helped out other people in need without question. If someone was on vacation or old, then we would mow their lawn or shovel their snow for them. If somebody got stuck in the snow, there was always somebody nearby to help out. If somebody was sick, friends and neighbors would bring food and offer to do some housework for the family. The neighborhood was like one big family. It was common for your neighbor to cut your grass while he was doing his own. If you were slow at shoveling your snow, a neighbor would frequently do it for you. Most of these neighbors became friends for life.
Sheepshead Card Game
In Germany many years ago, a card game was developed by the peasants there. It was called Sheepshead. It is a game that can be played for hours at time with no concept of time passing involved. It reminds us of playing chess. This card game is a game of chance, luck and card playing skills. If you play against a deaf man, you could lose heavily. Concentration is a strong element of this card game. The cards have playing value and point value. You must use playing value to obtain enough points to win. If you lose and pick, you could pay out double what you would have paid out if you did not pick the blinds.
The key to this card game is to communicate with and trust your partner without using words. How you play the hand will tell your opponent what kind of hand you have. Observation is very critical in this game. This is one card game you can get lost in while playing it. Everything problem you have seems to disappear while you are playing the game. Some day when you see a game of sheepshead being played, watch and see how much fun you can have while playing or watching the game.
Stille Nacht -- Froeliche Weihnachten -- Merry Christmas to All
My favorite Christmas Hymn is "Silent Night" or "Stille Nacht":
"Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht, Alles Schlaeft, einsam wacht, nur das traute, hoch heilige Paar, holder Knabe im lokhigen Haar : schlaf in Himmlischer Ruh! schlaf in Himmlischer Ruh! "
A Vietnam War story
When I was making a delivery at the U.S. Army Building at 2372 S. Logan Avenue one day, I met a young captain who served with the Special Forces over in South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. He was short and had a squeaky high pitched voice. He reminded me of the squeaky lieutenant in the Beetle Bailey cartoon strip.
He had an unusual story to tell me. While he was serving in the Vietnam War, he had taken some time off on R & R and was visiting a place to eat. While there, he met this man with blond hair who said that he was from Georgia. He had a strong southern accent and seemed very friendly. While they were talking together, the captain noticed that this man referred to the North Vietnamese Army as the NVA rather than "Charlie" as most American soldiers would say. He had a hunch and kept all conversation away from war talk and listened to the man talk. When he reported back from R & R, he went to his intelligence unit and made inquiries about this man from "Georgia". They told him that this man was from Georgia, USSR, and that he was a Russian spy seeking out information from unaware American soldiers. His accent was so good that you would believe that he was from Georgia in the United States.
Ice skating in Bay View -- when we were kids
When we were kids, we used to go to Humboldt Park to go ice skating on the lagoon. We used to go into the park building and get our skates on. It was always crowded when we skated, but we always had fun. We were able to meet old friends and new friends and generally all of us had a delightful time.
On some days we went to South Shore Park where they had a frozen area near the park pavilion. They had an old
jukebox that played all of the early rock and roll music to skate to. There were a lot of couples at this park. Sometimes the city would create a frozen area to skate on in some of the playgrounds in the area. When it snowed outside we used to go sled riding.
