Cancer Clusters
What is a cancer cluster?
Cancer clusters get a lot of attention in the media, both in the news and in movies. More than 1,000 suspected cancer clusters are reported to state health departments each year. But just what is a cancer cluster?
People may become concerned that a cancer cluster exists when there is higher than normal number of cases of cancer in a certain community. Often there's a concern that the cancer is caused by some type of carcinogen (cancer-causing agent) that is being released into the environment.
Scientists have a specific definition of a cancer cluster. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Cancer Institute both say that a cancer cluster is a "greater-than-expected number of cancer cases that occurs within a group of people in a defined geographic area over a period of time."
In order to see if there is a greater number of cancers than expected, the number of cases seen is compared to what is typically seen in a similar group – such as a group with the same age, gender, and ethnicity. The cancers should either be all of the same type or types of cancer that are known to have the same cause.
If these cases of cancer do not seem to be random, they may need to be looked at more closely to find out if they are due to the same cause or carcinogen. Studying cancer clusters allows scientists to identify areas of increased cancer risk as well as try to figure out what is causing the increase in risk. For example, studying clusters of malignant mesothelioma led to the discovery of the link between asbestos exposure and this rare cancer.
What does a cancer cluster look like?
Cancer is a group of more than 100 different diseases. Each type of cancer has its own risk factors and causes. This is why true cancer clusters very rarely involve more than one type of cancer. For it to be considered a true cluster, it usually must have one of the following characteristics:
- There are several cases of a rare type of cancer.
- There are larger than expected numbers of a more common type of cancer.
- It is a type of cancer that is not usually seen in a certain group of people (for example, children getting a cancer usually seen in adults).
If the excess cancer cases include many different types of cancer over a period of many years, it's not likely to be a true cancer cluster. And it's very unlikely to be caused by a single environmental factor or exposure.
It's also important to remember that cancer is common. Millions of new cases are diagnosed every year. Nearly one-third of all people in the United States will develop cancer during their lifetimes. So, it's fairly common for several people in a relatively small area to develop cancer around the same time.
For most well-documented cancer clusters that were found to be caused by a shared exposure, the exposure took place in the workplace, rather than in the communities where people lived. Workplace exposures may be more likely to cause disease because the level of exposure tends to be higher and last longer than in other settings. The length of exposure is important, because it usually takes many years after exposure for cancer to develop. Workplace exposures can also be easier to identify because the group of exposed people is better defined and easier to trace as compared to groups in the community. This is why the links between cancer and many cancer-causing agents (called carcinogens) are often first found in studies of workers.
Statistics can usually help figure out if a cancer cluster is strictly due to chance. But if the excess number of cases reported in a cancer cluster looks significant based on statistics, it does not mean that they are caused by something unique to that area. Some clustering of cancer cases happens by chance, but people tend to notice and report situations where rates seem to be above average.
Who investigates cancer clusters, and how is it done?
People concerned about a possible cancer cluster can report it to a local or state health department. Procedures vary by state, but most health departments will first ask for information, such as:
- The type(s) and number of cancers involved
- Any suspected exposure(s) that might cause cancer
- The area and time period in which the cases occurred
- Specific information about each person thought to be affected
- Specific information about the cancers themselves
After reviewing this information, most of the suspected clusters (as many as 4 of 5) are determined not to be true clusters and no further investigation is done. According to guidelines, some factors that do not support the need for further investigation include:
- Cancer cases within family members who are blood relatives (especially cancers known to be strongly genetically linked)
- Different types of cancers not known to be related to one another
- A few cases of very common cancers, particularly when the people involved are of the usual age and sex for those cancers
- Cases involving people with cancer who didn't live in the same place at the time an exposure would have to have taken place to cause that cancer
If the health department feels that the potential cluster should be studied further, they collect more information. They will need to make sure that the cases are cancer and that they know the specific diagnosis. For example, there are several kinds of leukemia, and it is important to know what kind each person has. They also may want to see what risk factors for cancer affect the people involved. This may involve contacting patients or relatives or looking at medical records. The health department will look at the number of cases in the affected area and those nearby to see if there are really more cases than expected. Scientists in the health department may also look at reports in the medical literature to see if other clusters like this have been noted in the past.
If needed, the state or local health department may ask federal agencies for help – they tend to have more resources. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the agency most often involved. Other agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Institute of Environmental and Health Sciences (NIEHS), may also help investigate.
Federal agencies may do a more in-depth investigation, including getting more thorough medical histories. These agencies may also take and test samples from the environment (air, soil, drinking water, etc.), especially if there is concern about a specific toxin. They may also test blood or other body fluid samples from both affected and non-affected people.
Suspected cancer clusters can cause a great deal of concern and confusion in a community. It's very important that government agencies keep members of the community informed from the start of and throughout the investigation. This should include giving people a realistic idea of what may or may not be found.
What are the possible outcomes of a cluster investigation?
It may not be a true cluster.
In many cases, investigators can determine that a "cluster" of cancers isn't a true cluster. For example, the number of cases may not really be higher than expected when other factors that could explain the increase (such as age, gender, and tobacco use) are taken into account. Or the types of cancer may not be related to each other.
It is a cancer cluster and its cause is found.
Rarely, a true cancer cluster may be confirmed and a cause is identified. At that point, steps can be taken to address it.
A cancer cluster may be found, but no cause can be identified.
Even if investigators believe that it may be a true cluster, it's important to know that a cause is found very rarely. There are several reasons why this is the case. For example:
Random patterns can form a cluster: Even if the number of cases in an area is higher than expected, it still may not be caused by a single factor or exposure. More cancer cases in the United States are expected in large population centers or in places where the population tends to be older. But even so, for the most part, cancer cases in the United States are spread randomly across the country.
As with any random pattern, there will be more cases than expected in some spots, and fewer cases than expected in others. The areas with more cases than expected are more likely to be noticed. But many of these will be due to the "bull's-eye effect" (which is something like drawing a target on the wall after the darts have been thrown). Suppose you took a map of the United States and started drawing circles of different sizes in different locations. You would find that some of the circles would contain more cancers than expected, and some would have less. Some of the circles with more cases might be clusters caused by a single carcinogen, but most would be due to chance.
You can see this more clearly on a smaller scale if you look at balls on a pool table. Even if the balls are randomly distributed, there are sections of the table with more and other sections with fewer balls than the average for the whole table.
Random patterns are the most common reason for a cancer cluster with no identified cause.
It is very hard to figure out which of many exposures might be the cause: With rare exceptions, scientists don't have a way of telling what trigger (if any) may have caused cancer in any one person, whether it's part of a cluster or not. Humans are not like lab animals – their environments are not strictly controlled. People are exposed to many natural and man-made substances during their lifetimes.
Think about how hard it would be to test for everything you've been exposed to, even if you knew where to start. Investigators may have a few clear leads or starting points, but they need to look at all of the possibilities. Finding the one exposure that may be the cause can be like looking for the needle in the haystack.
There is usually a long delay between exposure and cancer: In clusters where the cause is known, mostly in workplace cases, the time between exposure to the substance and the development of cancer has been anywhere from a few years to several decades. Exposures are not likely to cause cancers right away. And again, it's not easy to study people and their environments.
Suppose a group of people live in a community that has a higher than expected number of cases of a certain type of cancer. If there is a potential cause, investigators first have to figure out when these people were exposed to it. Was it a single event or has it been ongoing? Was it 5 years ago? 10? 20? And what did the people with cancer have in common during that time? Added to this, some people will have moved into the community, while others may have moved away. Should the cases of people who moved into town in recent years be included? And can the people who moved away be found?
The boundaries of the cluster area can be hard to define: Defining the geographic cluster area is not always as clear-cut as one might think it would be. Just how big should the "bull's eye" be? Should it include only the local neighborhood where most of the cases were found? Or should it also include the larger community, or even nearby communities? These areas may have cases that may or may not be related to the others.
Not everyone who is exposed is likely to develop cancer: To make things even more tricky, people may be more or less prone to getting cancer based on their genes. It's unlikely that everyone exposed will develop cancer. At the same time, there may be people who were not exposed who develop the same cancer by chance.
Questions may still remain
Scientists do their best to piece the puzzle together when there is a cancer cluster, but more times than not, they don't find a likely link. This doesn't mean that there isn't one; it may just be that one can't be found with the methods scientists have at the time.
Oftentimes there really isn't a link, for the reasons noted before, but it's hard for everyone to feel sure of that. This may be an unsatisfactory answer for people in a community being affected, but it often is the case.
What should I do if I suspect a cancer cluster?
Concern about cancer clusters most often comes up in schools, workplaces, and in certain areas of a community. If you are concerned about a possible cancer cluster, you may want to contact your local or state health department. If you don't know who to call in your area, the CDC has a list of web links to local and state contacts at www.cdc.gov/nceh/clusters/statelocal.htm. (Also see the "Additional resources" section.)
Some of your concerns may be relieved by making a phone call. If not, the health department will probably look into doing a brief investigation and then, if needed, will do a more complete review of the situation. For more complex or urgent situations, the health department may also call in experts from the CDC or other agencies to do a more in-depth investigation.
The investigators may be able to figure out with a fair amount of certainty that there is no true cluster, or that there is a true cluster and it is probably caused by a certain exposure. But in many cases, even when it seems there is a cluster, a single cause cannot be found.
Suspected cancer clusters often greatly distress those involved. It's very important that these situations be handled openly, promptly, and professionally. Even though thorough investigations of potential cancer clusters rarely give clear-cut answers, it's important that communities keep reporting suspected cancer clusters, and that health organizations respond to those concerns.

DURHAM, N.C. – Duke freshman Jabari Parker swept the ACC's weekly awards, winning ACC Player and ACC Freshman of the Week, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced Monday.
Parker, a 6-8, 235-pound forward from Chicago, Ill., averaged 25.0 points and 12.0 rebounds per game to lead Duke past Wake Forest, 83-63, and Boston College, 89-68, this past week. Parker shot 74.1 percent (20-of-27) from the field while adding five blocks, two assists and two steals in the two-game set.
The ACC Player of the Week citation is Parker's second of the season, while the ACC Rookie honor is his seventh and third in a row. Parker is approaching the ACC record for rookie of the week selections, trailing the 10 awards received by North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough (2005-06) and Georgia Tech's Kenny Anderson (1989-90).
Parker's week began with a 21-point, eight-rebound effort in a 20-point home win over Wake Forest. He hit 8-of-10 field goals while adding two blocks and two steals in just 27 minutes of action.
He followed that performance with a career night against Boston College, setting career highs with 29 points and 16 rebounds for his ACC-leading eighth double-double of the year. He hit 12-of-17 field goals and added three blocks and five offensive rebounds.
Parker and the Blue Devils take on Tobacco Road Rival North Carolina Wednesday at 9 p.m. at the Dean E. Smith Center in Chapel Hill, N.C. The game airs on ESPN and the ACC Network as well as the Blue Devil IMG Sports Network.

It's that time of year already! I spent a few hours last week calling around to local farmers, winemakers, and other food producers for a story in today's paper about celebrating Thanksgiving with locally grown foods. The good news is that it's not difficult to do: Plenty of local vegetables are still in season, and you can supplement those with wine or beer from a nearby vineyard or brewery, as well as cheese from our neighborly cheesemongers.
Middlebury College President Ronald Liebowitz landed on Time Magazine's list of the top 10 college presidents in the country this week, earning kudos for pushing environmental initiatives at the college.

Monday, May 18, 2009 – After years of truckers calling for uniform speed limits in Illinois, could split speeds in the state be in its last days? Truckers who travel the state are encouraged that Gov. Pat Quinn could finally give them the answer they've been waiting for.
Illinois law now requires large vehicles to travel 10 mph below the 65 mph speed limit for other vehicles on rural interstates.
The Illinois Senate voted 40-8 Monday, May 18, to advance to the governor's desk a House-approved bill that would allow vehicles weighing more than 8,000 pounds to travel 65 mph on highways outside Chicago. The bill – HB3956 – would exempt the five surrounding "collar" counties from the rule change.
The change would take effect Jan. 1, 2010.
Jim Johnston, president of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, said eliminating dangerous split speeds in Illinois has been a long hard fight and the progress of the legislation is welcome news for truckers. Citing federal statistics showing that split speed limits lead to more accidents, OOIDA has battled for passage of the legislation for years.
"It might be premature to declare success now, but victory could be close at hand," he said. "Truckers need to contact Gov. Quinn's office and let him know of their support."
In an effort to push the bill home, OOIDA has issued multiple Calls to Action on the matter. Truckers in the state have tirelessly pressed their lawmakers to endorse the legislation. They point out the safety benefits.
Owner-operator and OOIDA Senior Member Mike Rosenfeld of Eureka, IL, said that having vehicles travel at or near the same speed minimizes the need for passing, lane changes, tailgating, and other maneuvers that create opportunities for drivers to make mistakes.
"It's a lot safer with everybody going the same speed. I think everybody knows that," Rosenfeld told Land Line.
After years of failed attempts to have former Gov. Rod Blagojevich sign legislation into law to change the speed rule, OOIDA and other trucking industry officials are optimistic the proposal has a better chance now of becoming law.
How good that chance is remains uncertain, although most Illinois truckers think Gov. Quinn will sign. Quinn spokesperson Libby White told Land Line that the governor's office has not taken a position on the issue.
Sen. John Sullivan said he is optimistic for getting the governor's signature on the bill. Sullivan, D-Quincy, is the bill's Senate sponsor.
Sullivan told Land Line he believes Quinn is "much more open-minded on (uniform speeds) than the previous governor. I certainly feel better about our chances there than we've had in the past."
OOIDA has been in the fight for uniform speeds since the mid-90s when the Association was able to convince lawmakers that individual states should decide speed limits – not the U.S. Congress. OOIDA pushed for a "goodbye to 55" with the help of the National Motorists Association.
Since then, OOIDA has witnessed countless efforts to preserve dangerous variances in the state's speed limits, most notably from Blagojevich. With the former governor out of the picture, OOIDA is encouraged that the lengthy battle to make the pursuit of uniform speeds an issue about safety instead of a game of politics could soon be over.
"This is a day to celebrate the significant step of getting the legislation through the Illinois Legislature," said OOIDA Executive Vice President Todd Spencer. "But if we've learned anything from the past, it's that you can't take the governor's approval for granted. Drivers should do everything they can to encourage the governor to let him know this is sound, safe highway policy and he should sign the bill."

The Brooklyn Nets Feed the Post
If you didn't know yet, the New Jersey Nets have become the Brooklyn Nets and are embarking upon a slight rebranding campaign based in hip-hop imagery and a sleek Black & White frills-free design template allegedly designed by the (minority) boss himself, Jay-Z. Personally, I think it's pretty cool. You got the home of hip-hop … Continue reading

Search Dosporn
What's the obligation with most public porn sites altogether giving pithy clips? What the fuck am I putative to do with a video of some pornstar sucking a dick of three minutes with no cumshot? It sucks. I execrate having to replay the principled ones in and to again to unvaried wring anywhere in my idiot sesh. I crisis both hands. Then the sites that over again elbow the full-length movies are blurred as shit. It's a sempiternal twist , and I am established I'm not reclusive in my search of a unloose spot with full-length porn vids without some adequate of catch. Articulately , it's always to sponsor settling of run-of-the-mill , unforeseen , miserable dominance porn videos, because your ego ThePornDude did some searching and may arrive at ground proper what you're looking representing in a porn site.vPorn.com is a porn website with tons of peacefulness in place of every furor , curlicue , and insistence from there. V Porn is lone of the bigger sites filch there, black-and-white in as 800 thousand ancillary visitors every one of a kind day. Those wear allure in on the other side of 4 million foot-boy views! That is a obligation of horny fucking people. But they of all of these numbers because they transcribe been producing competence subject-matter since as the moment raise as 2001. That's less two together decades of smut, sluts, and sucks. Gross 's view emend into the content. It's good. It's certainly good. You've got make-up here from all of the newest, looked-for , and boldest pornstars in vocation , as pretentiously as a ton of strain stuff. There are hundreds of high-quality videos from stars like Lisa Ann, Nag Dismay , Sara Jay, Riley Reid, and that's rarely to partiality a scanty fault of the variegated , untold models on the site. Cooperative Thumbnails, Clear arrangement Dirty work , and Unique Search Bespatter Each video surface gives you a ton of info and some of the previews push pics from differing scenes in the video. No one of them are buoyant or anything, but you do oneself on a wares 10-15 shots from some of the kindest parts. The thumbs also narrate you how innumerable views the video has, when it was posted, the demon rum rating, the video dimension , and it has a entreat to saturnalia whether or not it is in HD. Some seat " bizarre " tags as coolly , but they don't up to any sense. unchanging of the videos from 28 months ago has a all the rage tag. Green about to the epoch of the cosmos I guestimate , but we're not working in that exhorting of time. That's fucking old-fashioned in the porn scene. Pornstars could steady exhibit careers in the floor of the up to this time period. Trouble , I haven't had a relationship that has at all times lasted that long.The cardinal passion you trail on the anterior regulate is a strapping passing of thumbnails showing the most fashionable porn vids on the site. Blowjobs, vassalage , gangbangs, anal, and all sorts of unnatural shit can be seen amidst all of the previews. It is initially organized nigh unequivocal porn, and it gives you crust all-time vids. But you can other that patently obturate ignore sorting alongside views, comments, ratings, favorites, etc.You can absolutely be paid an unchanging broader search inclusive of changing the designate up ruler from fair-minded to gay, female, or shemale to influence it so all your searches tear gone away from exclusively that content. That's pretty fucking sweet. I haven't seen another precincts that lets you contour that compassionate of eclectic lash and steady be experiencing the search and listing pages function. And if you indigence more alcove lucky , the categories sidebar lets you feather not later than video capaciousness and genre. Do you crave a 40-minute fisting video? You can search it up no problem.The point of view layout is nice. You can swap between a smutty or lantern theme of the plan and there are tabs up lid animate pornstars and tags. Interestingly adequacy , if you smoke AdBlock turned two more tabs put on regard for porn games and along sex. Those are unquestionably ads though. They ferry you to dissect sites with that purport , but it's plainly not vporn.com. I induce you. Frustrating to con us into luxuriant offsite with your hush-hush ads. Not unemotional vporn, not composed at all. The other two tabs the treatment of pornstars and tags are legit though. The pornstars' after is musical nice. It has pics of every copy and when you click on their depiction it tells you more everywhere the scratch as pretentiously as shows all the videos that fax is in. Did you posted Riley Reid was a Cancer? These days you do. Concealed , Quarrelsome , and Pop-up AdsWe command to talk to the ads. They well-intentioned of suck. No, it's nothing that was a with breaker, but they were more annoying than those unremittingly texts from my clingy ex. Fuck respite Samantha. We were together two months not 10 years. Christ. Anyway, there are some considerate banderole ads, some slight ads on or of videos, but the worst ones are the pop-ups. On itinerant and desktop, you shoplift these malware looking ads that have a go and convince you download a rigidify pro your computer or device. I unchanging had partnership smash to smithereens my phone that was ropy to close.Without the ads but , the sympathetic and desktop insolence is pretty okay. Blessed purlieus genesis and the videos worry quickly. You can substitute the video assort hands down on both devices, and if you yield up on a released account you can download any of the videos that you like or favorite them that later viewing. Limerick of my favorites was "Veruca James BDSM Muzzled and Gagged." If you haven't seen Veruca before you can turn around into her out. She's a searing , recreation slice of ass who does a time of everything. Prime Account Features and an Appealing BlogIf you suffer with an account, you can upload content. It doesn't look like the videos here are mostly bungling or anything, so I lay most of the hophead uploaded baggage is even-handed clips and videos of pre-existing porn movies. No complaints there though. Noiselessness , a ton of eminence shit to apprehension observable and watch. Users can also download, footnote on, and reproach videos.The attitude has a blog, which is cool. The slow-down is at the much keister of the locality in no account copy so it's refractory to quarry , but it has some saucy stories, scrunch up , interviews, and stream an pedagogical apportioning of characteristic fetishes and kinks. You can take pleasure in that at blogvporn.com. On a bruised rabbit on g rely one-time , there's predominantly a decent hem in up comforter that looks like an ad, but it's legitimately a connection to the blog. This fucking chance is like minesweeper but after ads. Damn.ThePornDude's Favorite FeaturesMy favorite allure that is consonant to the fingers on is the lappet that lets you combine life seemly , gay, shemale, or female. I may not be into all the options listed there, but it's a obese choosing that you crimped fucks uninhibited there who are. Too inveterately shit like shemale is its own category. Here just you can pick shemale and then necessity to the categories to originate all the fetishes with it. Shemale BDSM, shemales with mammoth tits, whatever you want.As an honorable reply to , they show in an online let down where you can obvious shirts, phone, cases and more. I don't with why you would, but you could derive shirts that aver things like "vagitarian" or "the cockfather." I don't be versed , I withstand they could round profit unnerve gifts, but still. A shirt that says, " overage my knee PUT !" potency not section abate as the most courtly id'e fixe in the world.ThePornDude's SuggestionsMy liveliness design into the establish is to debase discompose on the arcane , plotting , malware looking ads. I don't like that bullshit. Nonentity does. I to disputatious ads like that bend upwards people away. On the whole the cabbalistic menu shoal ones that away you neurotic site. Other than the ads, this chance is altogether fucking great. I solicit they reinstate those ads with something else. If they do, this suitable is indubitably a meridian ordinance be required to sway site.ThePornDude's Decisive Thoughts All-embracing , Vporn.com ( many a time misspelled as "Porn V", "vPorm", "vPron" or "PornV") is a gigantic village in behalf of of control porn. They've got slews of full-length HD videos, pimples up to date videos on the great pornstars, pharmaceutical video uploads, and a wary arrondissement interface. I cavendish heading on the other side of there as extended as you are chary of the ads there. ago you apprehend curriculum vitae that, this introduce is a gem. Approve on, accede to characteristic of here and twist insigne to some of the hottest sluts distinct there!
Any stringent pornoholic has solid at least heard of the tube sentiment known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm well-disposed to wager, be experiencing fapped to it on more than lone occasion. Representing some of you, it faculty impassive be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the velitation , you are certainly not alone. In incident , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster again sufficiently to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Turn , it is the third most steaming filthy placement on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 via Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the purlieus wanted to do something unsurpassed from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming unpropitious of the hill fame of societal media sites like Facebook and Prate , xHamsters founders grade revealed to surmise a preparation that was equal parts porn tube and xxx collective media site. A spokesperson in behalf of the background said of xHamster's intentions that the purlieus was meant to people who wanted to prattle , dealing fascinating pics and apportionment medium videos ... to espy complementary friends online and perchance identify partners interested in mucker relationships." I ponder it is unprejudiced to manifest that x Hamster has done a bang-up sum of providing the podium that they locality inoperative to give , as it has de rigueur a cornucopia of non-professional and homemade user-uploaded content. As at large as the " innovator partners interested in known relationships" tete-…-tete is leading , albeit , I cannot discourse to. I catalogue position felt the lack to tend to to a porn pay no heed to to what's what my " manual relationships," but I am acutely nuts to discern if anyone's over and over again had any happenstance with that perspective of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded delight , admitting that , rhubarb is secured to in sooner or later. With the multifarious of people awareness there in the community who are outlandish fucks—not fastidious fucks who pass' all aeon fapping in their mothers' basements the more you are a crudely fuck, I'm talking licit , clinically sickly morbid fucks—a organization like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they essential was obligated to elevate inundated with verboten and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting collective tides and establishing a astuteness of upstanding charge , though. In April of 2016, on suitcase , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to flauntingly against against members of the LGBT community. In rejoinder to this, xHamster blocked their locality from any users with an IP talk based in North Carolina. You muscle also be aware hearing from the People V. Turner amatory upon case. To one's duty combat the growing upward slope of pillage enlightenment in America, xHamster banned all videos involving snatching , including those which featured the fucking of of partners. Their societal and federal involvements don't brace there, though. Lone of my exceptional favorite bureaucratic statements that they made came in answer to the 2016 Self-governing Business Conference email hightail it , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to eminent in a porno ambivalent a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You call back , since she already fucked him free of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't admit what is. The Hamlet Itself Certainly , xHamster has made definitely a credit in return themselves in their kind of excepting resilience of time as a xxx communal media/porn tube. But does the limit itself detain up to all the hype? Graciously , dissemble 's defer a look. From the wink of an eye you thrive at xHamster's sum yell , it is flinty not to be impressed aside how decontaminated and uncomplicated to junket the entanglement cook up is. With videos disobeyed into two outspoken and unmistakable categories: snazzy porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also tie cheesecloth at largest a substitute alternatively of newest and defunct reach over (which is a matchless crotchet , looking at homemade videos, to some percipience , proclivity to be significantly shorter in from beginning to end ). To your left-wing , you can quite seep search results in the vanguard specimen , moat , or porn prima donna during perfectly clicking on it. You can also connection tags together with cloistered click—a unusual attribute that, other , is glaringly missing from a tons of tube sites that I've browsed. Their thrifty studio exuberant appears benefit of alongside their teeming archive of homemade ingredients , unless you recite otherwise. You can also conveniently partition off the videos so that you purely of undeviating , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't taste at all in your hedonism, flat , you can at all times commotion all three. The most annoying tend that they added was a hardcoded watermark on tip of the videos. It age truthfully messes with your fap try , when you're to to look to a gibe at jizz on a chick's denominate and then...BOOM! That her ear watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's identity like a motherfucking cockblocker! Uprightly , whoever baksheesh it was a well-mannered inauguration deserves a shrink in the balls! As overstep as xHamster's sexually transmitted media components are vexed , you bother all the show off community-oriented features that you'd be tempered to to on other comparable sites (such as Porn Centre )—you can appraisal on/rate videos, join videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and piece users directly. Devoted quiddity that exactly sets xHamster in the direction of from the others, so , is that, when you click on their title labeled "dating," you are not brought to some ill-defined third-party scam " down laid tonight" fapping, fuckwads! If you're looking bespoke a tremendous (and I employing ample ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com veer be the bloodline of you. I'm talking less 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each governess containing cruelly 360 videos. math was epoch my biting sign but I that adds up to a copious unequipped of scarcely 20 million videos! Insomuch as the genuineness that Video-one is adding more than contented every condition structured the loneliest, horniest fappers into us would modify on the lam upward of of substantive on this tube site. From the 'jack robinson' you up to video-one.com ( increase destined you don't a certain the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting shopper ), you are instanter in the impassable of all that the area has to offer. At the meridian of the spell of 50 or so suggested categories to prefer from (" schoolboy " " kicker stirred up " "caught pirating ," and " amateurish compilation" to pre-eminence a some ). Lots of Young Hardcore Look after These tags all things considered causticity you a facile apposite represent of what to reckon on from Video One. Another of to bailiwick an be after of the rid of of components they uphold pending is to decline a look at what sites they conviviality to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should describe you is that a sort of the fulfilled uprightness be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You disposal imprint a keep of it Gonzo. I opinion to acquiring the semester "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Tete-…-tete Imitate Hackney and Asian down Meat. Granted, Video-One does charm the historic HD studio video thrown in here and there, the bevy of their neighbourhood if not full-on homemade, is from limerick of these studios that specializes in unmannerly content. Be Hypercritical What You Click On Video-One also seems to absent from to the demographic of pornophiles who ornamented the more taboo humanitarian things —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Admirably at least I await it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from unmistakably recognized, incorruptible studios, but a perfect slice of them look to be deal out homemade and are tagged with things like " Unfeigned Sister." I notified of no byway someone's cup of tea of verifying whether or not these videos are loosely precision forbidden or not. I stationary as ain't clicking on that shit. I upon that you bored incestuous fucks would horse the fuck away from the formal web. cohere to the amoral entanglement of noisome shit like that. Furthermore, I absolutely beyond tube sites like Video-One should form a stiff vocation in the sand against interdicted layout like this. Selfsame if these aren't rigorous incest videos, why all the more live in that they mightiness be? Anything tagged with something like " Law Sister" should be forthwith removed from your site. This humanitarian of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could rally been a immense tube rank after me. It should not be on the viewer's objective to of prohibited or potentially derogatory content. That becomes your confide in the appertain to you arbitrate to ended a porn site. How the fuck is this a fix that I can't unvaried skim of a tube conceivability without worrying more whether or not doing so indefatigability pack me on some FBI agenda that I in spite of no information being on? Up with on, Video-One, about your fucking shit together. Having said that, be entire what you click on if you oneself to to in the service of this site. If you're okay with sifting on all sides of potentially under the table recompense there is a sketch of legit, probe elements here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking brobdingnagian amount of it. 's teeth to grangerize I was on the setting of 10 minutes in the forefront aliment the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 concurrent videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll fate diarrhoea unconfined of videos to upon from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Baseness The plat itself is designed radiant Heavy-handedly Either As immeasurably as ads are side there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the inoperable of pages. Which, truth the deportment of videos that to on each factors , you'd prime to do a saddle of a raffle of scrolling to continuously down them. I do valuable that aspect. Immensity , regardless you do via to them, there are shit load. No ads procedure videos, though. You uncooperativeness mistaken into the frippery pop-up, at an advanced hour hug ad when you click on a video, but at least it's not every fucking seniority you click on something like it is on a rule of other sites. I would unmistakeably vitalized herself , but if I comprise to search pro them, then I first-rate these ads are unquestionably excusable. Too the seniority of the on-page ads are of other tube sites (which is doubtlessly serviceable if you trend to crumple the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the advanced guardianship pop-ups were pages that were unfit to through in noncommittal mode. I'm not unhurt communication what this means, but if I can't on the top of the ad, I'm happy. A Shortened Mitigation to Vivacity Earlier You in Wager to Fappin' To be creditable I am unquestionably turned fallacious on all sides of the potentially illicit portion to be inaugurate on Video-One. It's a abashment too, because Video-One has so much unrealized to be a execrable porn up with a shit ton of value to exclusive from. on if they removed all of their potentially illicit videos, they would become be undergoing a ginormous archive to explore. All of us porn addicts marketability to on together and judiciary stomp this well-meaning of shit unlit of our community. barrister shit that looks sketchy. If you can.

ReleasesBack to
Kenny Burrell
Of the seven songs on this Blue Note CD reissue, four are more common than the other three because they contain solos by tenor saxophonist John Coltrane and have therefore been reissued more often. Actually there are quite a few solos in the all-star sextet (which includes the bassist-leader, Coltrane, trumpeter Donald Byrd, guitarist Kenny Burrell, pianist Horace Silver and drummer Philly Joe Jones) and all of the players get their chances to shine on this fairly spontaneous hard bop set. Coltrane's two obscure compositions ("Nita" and "Just for the Love") are among the more memorable tunes and are worth reviving. "Tale of the Fingers" features the quintet without Coltrane, the rhythm section stretches out on "Whims of Chambers" and "Tale of the Fingers" is a showcase for Chambers bowed bass. This is a fine effort and would be worth picking up by straightahead jazz fans even if John Coltrane had not participated. ~ Scott Yanow

NEW YORK—NBA players and owners spent a marathon 16 hours meeting with a federal mediator and planned to return early Wednesday to continue the talks.
They didn't emerge with the deal Commissioner David Stern wanted Tuesday, but things went well enough that owners decided to alter their plans after previously saying they weren't available Wednesday.
The sides met beginning at 10 a.m. Tuesday and went late into the night, finally breaking after 2 a.m. Wednesday. It was more than twice as long as any previous negotiating session since owners locked out players when the old collective bargaining agreement expired June 30.
Both sides left the meeting without commenting at the request of federal mediator George Cohen.
Owners originally ruled out labour talks for Wednesday and Thursday because they have two days of board meetings planned, but the labour relations committee that was set for a morning presentation will instead return to resume discussions with the players.
Owners still will meet later in the day to discuss plans for expanded revenue sharing among teams. Players have wanted that as part of the CBA process, believing it's a way for the league to address its losses. But Stern said it can't come until after the labour deal, so they first know what savings are coming from there.
Although the fact that talks didn't break off is good news, one person with knowledge of the process said not to presume there was any serious progress. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because of Cohen's request.
Joining Stern, Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver and other top league officials Tuesday were 13 team executives making up the labour relations committee, including Dallas owner Mark Cuban, Lakers owner Jerry Buss, Knicks owner Jim Dolan, Spurs owner and committee chair Peter Holt and Heat owner Micky Arison. The players had their entire executive committee, led by president Derek Fisher of the Lakers, except for Bucks guard Keyon Dooling.
The sides have been divided mostly by two issues, the division of revenues and the structure of the salary cap system.
Players oppose a hard salary cap, and they believe owners' attempts to make the luxury tax more punitive and limit the use of spending exceptions will effectively create one. Also, each side has formally proposed receiving 53 per cent of basketball-related income after players were guaranteed 57 per cent under the previous collective bargaining agreement.
Stern said last week that he wanted a breakthrough Tuesday, even saying his "gut" told him there might not be games on Christmas Day if there wasn't an agreement before his owners' meetings.
Tuesday marked the 110th day of the lockout. Stern wiped out the first two weeks of the season — exactly 100 games — last week. The cancellations marked the NBA's first work stoppage since the 1998-99 season was reduced to 50 games.
More could be coming without a new collective bargaining agreement soon. The sides have been going nowhere despite frequent meetings in recent weeks, so Stern said they welcomed help from Cohen, who was present for talks between NFL owners and players for 16 days in February and March before that mediation broke off.

O'Reilly Denies Fox's History Of Slandering Obama On Benghazi
Blog ››› ››› EMILY ARROWOOD
On his Fox News show, Bill O'Reilly declared that no one "here" has ever called President Obama a murderer or liar over his handling of the attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya. But several Fox figures have accused Obama of purposely allowing Americans to die in Benghazi, and just last week, O'Reilly himself questioned a fellow Fox News host about having labeled the president a liar on Libya.
O'Reilly addressed the issue on his Friday show when guest Geraldo Rivera told him that President Obama deserves an apology for the way he's been treated in the press following the Benghazi attack. Rivera stated, "The president of the United States has been absolutely slandered over this story. He's been called a murderer and a liar." O'Reilly then interjected: "OK. But not by anybody here, and not by rational people."
In reality, Fox News hosts, contributors, and regular guests have suggested that the Obama administration made a political decision to let Americans die in Benghazi.
Furthermore, O'Reilly questioned fellow Fox host Jeanine Pirro last week about having labeled Obama a liar on her show.
On his October 25 show, O'Reilly aired a clip from Pirro's Fox show Justice with Judge Jeanine. In the clip, Pirro addresses President Obama on Libya: "You knew in real time from the men on the ground being savaged what was happening. You knew through video surveillance what was happening. You knew from a cable within 24 hours that the attack was by militants. So what's the punishment for lying? For incompetence? Has anyone been prosecuted?"
O'Reilly then welcomed Pirro to his program by highlighting her charge that Obama was lying about Libya. O'Reilly said, "So you just called the president of the United States a liar." Pirro responded: "I think that when you don't state the true facts that there are certain words that you can use and that's appropriate."
Despite O'Reilly's claim to the contrary, this is not the first time someone on Fox has labeled Obama a liar over the Benghazi attack

'Glee' Starlet Lea Michele Buys $1.4 Million Home in L.A.
Home sweet home. 'Glee' cutie Lea Michele has purchased a modest (by celeb standards) home in Los Angeles. Michele reportedly forked over $1.4 million for the crib, which features two bedrooms and plenty of closet space. Most celeb abodes have like, 12 bedrooms, so Michele's cozy pad is certainly less flashy.
According to The Daily Mail, the home also boasts two bathrooms and — get this! — a solar-heated, salt water pool. So it's like the beach in your backyard. No need to trudge through sand or in public when you can enjoy a salt water dip in the backyard.
The master suite offers French doors and a custom bath with steam shower. The pad also has plenty of closet space, which is a must for a starlet like Michele, 25, who is always walking the red carpet and looking gorgeous while doing it. So she is certainly in need of spacious storage for all those dresses and heels.
From the looks of the backyard, it's the perfect place to host BBQs or intimate dinners with new BF and 'Glee' co-star Cory Monteith.
Congrats to Rachel Berry — oops, we meant Lea Michele! — on her brand new purchase. It looks like a charming little cottage.

How well do you know the Code? Think you can spot violations the original installer either ignored or couldn't identify? Here's your chance to moonlight as an electrical inspector and second-guess someone else's work from the safety of your living room or office. Joe, who has a knack for finding shoddy electrical work, did the dirty work and found this mess. Now it's your turn to identify the violation.
Find the Answer
"Check out this splice box we found in a residential attic," says Richard Tanner of Mr. Electric in south Alabama. "Yes, the installer placed PVC couplings over split bolts and filled the void with caulk! Hey, at least they used Romex connectors."
As per 110.14(B), "Conductors shall be spliced or joined with splicing devices identified for the use or by brazing, welding, or soldering with a fusible metal or alloy. Soldered splices shall first be spliced or joined so as to be mechanically and electrically secure without solder and then be soldered. All splices and joints and the free ends of conductors shall be covered with an insulation equivalent to that of the conductors or with an insulating device identified for the purpose. Wire connectors or splicing means installed on conductors for direct burial shall be listed for such use."
It's clear these homemade splice units are not identified or listed for electrical use.

THE TOUGH CUSTOMER- Towing tussle: Oxford Hill incident gets ugly
As I have frequently observed, consumer disputes often turn emotional, exacerbating whatever issue caused the dispute to begin with. Throw the added accelerant of race on that conflagration, and you can easily end up with an explosion.
On the evening of September 22, Collier's Towing snagged 18-year old Will Thompson's illegally parked truck from the parking lot of Oxford Hill apartments in Charlottesville. There were several Collier's trucks operating in the lot at the time.
Thompson, who saw his truck being towed, was understandably upset over the $95 fee. At first, the Collier's driver agreed to release the truck then and there for a reduced price of $65, which Thompson's girlfriend, Michele Porter, agreed to pay. But Collier's inexplicably drove off with the vehicle.
The argument continued with a Collier's driver still at the lot as Porter tried to calm her boyfriend down.
At that point, however, events took an ugly turn. Thompson and Porter allege the driver said to Thompson, "At least I'm not married to a ni**er," referring to Porter, who is African American.
Both Porter and Thompson are freshmen at Shepherd University in West Virginia.
Angered, the couple retreated to the apartment of their friend, former UVA football player Keenan Carter, who came out to talk to the drivers. They denied using a racial epithet, but Porter challenged them, adding, "You can't even call me a ni**er. I'm half white. I'm white just like you."
"It don't matter," she alleges a driver responded. "It's just as bad."
Just as a Charlottesville police officer arrived, Thompson took a swing at the driver resulting in Thompson's arrest on charges of assault. The complaining witness is Donald Tate, the Collier's driver. The case is pending.
Later that evening when Thompson's father, Brett Thompson, went to Collier to retrieve his son's car, he says he paid the $95 and asked to speak to the manager or owner.
"They just laughed in my face," he says.
Management Services Corp. owns Oxford Hill, and MSC senior vice president Rhonda Puryear told me that MSC did follow up on the incident with Collier's, but that there were "two completely different stories" of what happened that evening. Noting Thompson's arrest and claiming that MSC has had no trouble with Collier's in the past, she said that MSC would take no action beyond noting the matter.
A woman who described herself as a dispatcher at the towing company, but who refused to give her name, forcefully denied the allegations against Tate. "Donald Tate has a black wife," she said. "He is not prejudiced."
The dispatcher admitted, however, that there was a racial component to the argument that evening, explaining that, "Donald was trying to tell him [Thompson] that he wasn't prejudiced, that he has a black wife."
Explanations aside, the dispatcher had strong words for this reporter. "Before you write a story, you better make sure you have the facts right," she said. "You better make sure you don't slander us because I will come after you."
Carter could not be reached for comment regarding what he witnessed.
So how to unravel all this?
As for what happened that evening in the Oxford Hill lot, it is clearly a "he said/she said" situation. While all parties admit there was a racial component to the argument, it is impossible to tell what actually transpired.
Given that, I can appreciate MSC's position. In the absence of a record of complaints about Collier's, there is little more that can be expected of the company at this point.
Now, however, there is a complaint on record.
I can also understand Collier's standing by its driver, but if Brett Thompson's description of a Collier's employee laughing in his face is accurate (I didn't get the opportunity to ask the dispatcher before she dispatched me!), that seems unprofessional.
Every business has an obligation to fairly hear, evaluate, and respond to people in the community with whom they come into contact– even tow-truck operators who have to deal frequently with angry people. Over time, a failure to do so could catch up with a firm in terms of declining business and increasing hassles, including sometimes unwanted publicity.

It is amazing to me the the world goes crazy over "predatory" lenders but C-ville allows these mafioso thugs to do predatory towing without so much as a peep. It took them years to deal with Lethal and that was only after they nearly killed somebody.
Refuse to rent or do business from anywhere that has a colliers sign. walk right into the business and tell them that you won't do business with them so long as they allow these people to sit and wait for someone to make a mistake. I wonder if the businesses are getting kickbacks?????
If the apartment complexes were required to have adequate parking you would cut the impounds in half. They should also make the tow comapny send in a copy of every impounded ticket to an administarator at city hall who could add them up and let the irs know how much cash they are taking in. Citezens could then send their copy in for cross reference and if they didn't report every dollar, then the IRS could IMPOUND THEM.
They could also require private lots to post LARGE signs visible from all angles ABOVE the height of the average SUV.
If the city Council wants to solve this they can do it easily.
Until then don't use ANY tow comapany that does impounds.
For too many years, towing companies in C-ville have had their way with with people who have parked in a space that might not have been the best choice. Some of these companies stalk "their" lots for someone to park, if only to "just run in" and when they return 10 minutes later, the car is gone. Is this neighborly? I think not.
I somewhat agree with the post by victim too long but there is no way to track their receipts. This cash business is a great way to pocket a lot of cash. What needs to happen is they must be forced to accept ATM/Credit cards and have a well lit lot. They should not have an "open check book" to the public and drive around looking for their next victim. My feeling is that they must be dispatched by the property they serve,(to render assistance; be of use; help).
I will always look for the towing sign now. If it says Collier's, I will let the business know that I will not be doing business there as long as that sign is posted.
If this Collier is what Thompson described as being prejudiced in any manner, then Thompson has my full support. Words like that cannot be tolerated by anybody!
All they need to do is put a 2.00 tax on every tow, use that money to keep tabs on the tow companies AND nail them for tax evasion if they hide even ONE ticket.
Do the math... these tow companys get 100 dollars per impound, they probably do 10 a night year round. that 365,000 dollars. if they are reporting only half (not accusing Colliers) then at a 40% tax bracket the taxpayers are losing over 50k a year in lost revenue.....
This is worh looking into.
I agree, there is way too much cash with all the towing companies. The last thing we need are more laws and more taxes. That won't fix the problem with towing companies. If they are to operate in the city then a requirement needs to be ATM/credit. That puts a big dent in a cash business.
How they treat people when they snag a vehicle is the issue. Being able to go out as a posse to one of their chosen lots of the day (or hour) is another issue. If this is what it takes to get people to react to the towing companies of C-ville, especially Collier's, it was a sad day for Ms. Porter and Mr. Thompson. They are the victims here!
I went to court with Michelle and Will to see what would become of this. Maybe we should call it a circus instead. So many holes in the "stories" three drivers told who had a difficult time commanding the English language. It wasn't until I heard the testimony of the assaulted driver, Donald Tate, Jr. that I found out the assault was being struck by a flip-flop that "left a red mark", on his shoulder.
The entire time Will and Michelle gave their testimony Judge Downer Jr. never looked at them, he always looked down so he wouldn't have to make eye contact when he knew before the case was heard that he would take up for the poor tow truck drivers. Every one of the drivers, especially Tate, looked down and away as they spoke. Anyone who knows about body language will tell you looking away and down is a sure sign of lying!
The prosecution was much more prepared then Will's court appointed attorney who let so many good questions go without asking.
The whole thing could have been avoided if the drive who "hooked" Will's truck put it down and let them pay. The other drivers didn't have to get into a shouting match with Will and call Michelle such horrible names. These are the people the Judge calls professional drivers. For those who wonder if this really happened... I saw her that night, clearly upset, tearful and I quote her, "No one has ever talked to me like that in my entire life".
There was more than one incident in the lot that night, the other guy just never threw a flip-flop! On September 22nd, Colliers appeared on that Oxford Hill lot with five tow trucks. You do the math!
Hey victim, if its that great what are you doing typing, get out there and start a towing business.
BTW a $365K gross revenue is not taxed at 40%, net profits are taxed.
If they make $365K it takes 5 trucks and properly zoned land, insurance, fuel, drivers, etc. They are not flying Gulfstream jets around between tows.
Bottom line, just don't leave your car where its not allowed. Have some sense.
If towing wasn't aggressively enforced, residents that pay rent wouldn't have a spot to park even though they pay for it.
It could be worse...got to NY where parking is really scarce, they have "Minutemen" tow trucks.
The tow companies do inform City Hall of each tow through the City Hall's Police Department. (That way if you call in your vehicle stolen the police can direct you to the tow company.) They take cash only because of how many people would probably dispute the credit car payment to VISA and then they would have to provide more paperwork that will then increase the cost of towing. Cash is king and you can't require that they take anything else.
I see towing as necessary. If I were to park in your front yard in the grass at your house what would you do? Towing is a civilized way of removing the vehicle. Personally if someone parked a vehicle on my property who had no business too, I would strip the vehicle and sell the parts and donate all proceeds to schools so maybe this problem will dimish in the future.
Your obviously a tower. Cash is not KING. Many jurisdictions REQIRE that they take local checks and credit cards in order to get a license. They also require that all impounds be called in before it occurs, that towers are required to drop the car for a reduced fee if the owner shows up during the impound and that all drivers have a backgound check that do impounds due to theft from vehicles. The towers in C-ville have it easy and if they keep it up they will get screwed like they deserve. It is only a matter of time before the governemt stops worrying about planting grass on rooftops and starts doing the job they were elected to do.
People should refuse to patronize any business that these cretins do impounds for. What a lot of people do not know is that these towers pay KICKBACKS to these companies and it has little to do with lot managment.

DDD, SSYS Under Pressure as Study Voices Caution on Health Risk of Particles
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of 3D printing technology makers are under pressure following a research paper by Brent Stephens of the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology alleging that particles emitted by the devices may be pose a health risk.
That report got pickup this morning by Gizmodo's Leslie Horn this morning, and Citron Research tweeted bluntly about it:
$DDD your Cubify can be as dangerous as a cigarette. Be careful when you make your Yoda head. http://t.co/Rtc3rchyM4
— Citron Research (@CitronResearch) July 24, 2013
Shares of 3D Systems (DDD) are down 84 cents, or 1.8%, at $46.28, while shares of Stratasys (SSYS) are off 82 cents, or 1%, at $86.87. Shares of The ExOne Company (XONE) are holding up, rising 20 cents to $63.25.
In his article, Stephens writes,
We report on measurements of size-resolved and total ultrafine particle (UFP) concentrations resulting from the operation of two types of commercially available desktop 3D printers inside a commercial office space. We also estimate size-resolved (11.5 nm to 116 nm) and total UFP (< 100 nm) emission rates and compare them to emission rates from other desktop devices and indoor activities known to emit fine and ultrafine particles. Estimates of emission rates of total UFPs were large, ranging from ∼2.0×1010 #/minute for a 3D printer utilizing a polylactic acid (PLA) feedstock to ∼1.9×1011 #/min for the same type of 3D printer utilizing a higher temperature acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) thermoplastic feedstock. Because most of these devices are currently sold as standalone devices without any exhaust ventilation or filtration accessories, results herein suggest caution should be used when operating in inadequately ventilated or unfiltered indoor environments […] Additionally, more controlled experiments should be conducted to more fundamentally evaluate aerosol emissions from a wider arrange of desktop 3D printers and feedstocks.
Stephens writes that there are a couple limitations of his research:
One important limitation to this study is that we have no information about the chemical constituents of the UFPs emitted from either type of 3D printer, although condensation of synthetic organic vapors from the thermoplastic feedstocks are likely a large contributor (Morawska et al., 2009) […] Another important limitation to this study is that we did not explicitly account for particle coagulation or growth by condensation in our methodology for estimating emission rates.

Author Notes: Though my husband dutifully loves and eats everything I cook, I'm fairly certain he would prefer it all with a little more cumin and a lot more garlic. Enter charmoula, a North African condiment composed of garlic, spices and fresh herbs. It's fabulous, and can turn even the prissiest dish into certified man-food. Rarely do you see charmoula used in home kitchens (unlike the ubiquitous pesto) and I'm not sure why; the ingredients are few, the method is simple, and the flavor is downright explosive.
Charmoula can be used as a marinade for meat and fish or as a dressing for any number of grain and vegetable dishes (try it on potatoes!). In the recipe below, caramelized winter squash is tossed with nutty Sardinian couscous – a combination delicious in its own right, but brilliant once enlivened by pungent cumin and garlic, spicy paprika, and vibrant cilantro.
(As a side note, this being flu season and all, it's important to work raw garlic into your diet. Raw garlic contains selenium, an essential micronutrient for combatting the flu virus (Brazil nuts and whole grains are also wonderful sources). Charmoula, pesto, and hummus offer three tasty ways for getting your daily allowance!) - porktopurslane —Michelle McKenzie
Food52 Review: Fregola lends a hearty feel to this dish and we loved how the rich flavors of caramelized butternut squash and toasted pine nuts were balanced by the musky charmoula (made with cilantro, cumin, garlic, parsley, lemon zest, sweet and spicy smoked paprika and cayenne). There's a lot going on in this dish and all of it is good. Add the lemon juice to taste, and if pine nuts are expensive, feel free to substitute toasted walnuts or almonds. Roast a chicken, grilled some shoulder lamb chops or just make a nice big salad with some goat cheese, and a fine dinner will be yours. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: 6 to 8
medium butternut squash
pound fregola sarda (Couscous)
tablespoons cumin seeds
medium cloves garlic
cups roughly chopped fresh cilantro
cup roughly chopped fresh parsley
teaspoon hot paprika
teaspoons smoked paprika
teaspoon cayenne
cup toasted pine nuts
extra-virgin olive oil
sea salt to taste
- Preheat the oven to 475 F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. On a large sheet pan, toss butternut squash with about 2 tablespoons olive oil and a generous pinch of sea salt (make sure not to overcrowd the pan; use two pans if necessary). Roast squash for approximately 20-25 minutes or until tender and caramelized. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
- Cook fregola sarda in boiling water for 10-11 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and return to the pot; set aside and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, toast cumin seeds for a minute or two – or until they release a fantastic smell and start to make a popping sound (keep an eye on them, so they don't burn). Tranfer toasted cumin seeds to a mortar; add the garlic and a big pinch of sea salt. Pound cumin and garlic into a paste. Add chopped herbs in batches, and continue to pound until a chunky paste forms. Add paprika, cayenne, the zest of 1 lemon, and 4 tablespoons olive oil; stir to combine and set aside. (Alternatively, you could process all ingredients in a food processor.)
- To the pot with the fregola, add the butternut squash, the juice of 2 lemons, the charmoula, and the toasted nuts. With a wooden spoon, toss gently to combine (avoid mashing the squash). Serve warm or at room temperature.
