Disinfecting Water - the MIOX Solution
Imagine, tap water with no chlorine taste nor the chemicals that burn your eyes! And.......is more effective than Chlorine in disinfecting the water we use. Welcome to the science and technology of Mixed-Oxidants (MIOX™)
UAF has successfully been using MIOX to disinfect the drinking water on campus since April of 1997. Prior to the use of MIOX, UAF was using 1 ton cylinders of chlorine gas to provide disinfection of the water. By moving up to the on-site Mixed-Oxidant generators, UAF has improved the drinking water quality along with increasing our ability to more efficiently and effectively disinfect your drinking water.
By removing the chlorine gas chlorination system, we eliminated all of the hazards associated with the shipping, storing, handling and applying of chlorine gas as a disinfectant. The only thing we do now is add salt to a small storage tank to produce a brine solution which in turn is fed into an enclosed electric cell. The liquid that the cell produces is called the MIOX solution. The MIOX solution being produced by the cell is then collected in a medium sized holding tank that we refer to as the "day tank". The solution is then fed from the "day tank" directly into the domestic drinking water main. The correct feed rate of the solution is determined by the rate of the domestic water flow going to campus. As the flow of water to campus increases, the MIOX feed pump also speeds up in order to maintain the established disinfectant residual. Conversely, as the flow of water to campus decreases, the MIOX feed pump slows down.
The use of chlorine gas to disinfect water has prevented disease and saved millions of lives over the past century. However, traditional chlorination equipment is not safe and is frequently unable to meet the requirements of the Surface Water Treatment Rule, Disinfection/Disinfection By-Products Rule, and other US Environmental Protection Agency water quality regulations. Uniform Fire Code and BOCA fire codes require costly containment equipment for chemical handling and safety, but this containment equipment only mitigates the hazards of transporting, storing, and handling hazardous chlorine products. Concerns over possible carcinogens, the hazards of chlorine transport and handling, corrosive effects, and unpleasant tastes and odors from chlorine use are prompting water systems to move to MIOX on-site mixed-oxidant generators to improve water disinfection.Sometimes, Simpler is Better
The heart of the MIOX system is a patented cell that is simpler and produces a more effective solution than conventional forms of chlorine disinfection or on-site hypochlorite generators. The cell utilizes dilute salt water and direct current to generate a solution of chlor-oxygen mixed oxidants which is more effective than chlorine, and leaves a durable chlorine residual. This solution is collected in a tank and injected into water at rates appropriate to meet treatment objectives.
MIOX systems are fully automated and run unattended for days, self-diagnose fault conditions, and generate a constant concentration of oxidant when needed. No hazardous chemicals are required for operation nor generated by MIOX equipment. MIOX-treated water has been shown in laboratory and pilot tests to kill or inactivate 99.99% of microorganisms (such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium) that are virtually immune to chlorine treatments. MIOX-treated water does not impart a chlorine odor or taste at normal treatment levels. Imagine, tap water with no chlorine taste nor the chemicals that burn your eyes!Here's How it Works
The MIOX cell, the heart of the technology, generates a mixed-oxidant solution electrolytically from a sodium chloride (NaCl) brine. Electrolysis of chloride solutions has been used for decades to generate chlorine (Cl2) and hypochlorite (OClŁ). The key difference is that the MIOX cell has a patented process that separates solutions generated at the anode (oxidants) and at the cathode (reductants). In operation, the MIOX cell generates a solution made up of chlor-oxygen species. The mixed-oxidant solution concentration is determined by the size of MIOX equipment.
The solution must be injected at a concentration necessary to (1) satisfy the oxidant demand of the water, (2) effect the desired degree of disinfection, and (3) meet the standard for disinfection residual. The dosage necessary varies according to the individual water system.Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
Although MIOX uses brine to produce the mixed-oxident solution, addition of salt (a component of total dissolved solids (TDS)) is negligible. Most water systems already contain TDS levels around 150 mg/L, which is increased by a small amount when using any form of chlorination for disinfection. The current MCL for TDS is 500 mg/L, and as you can see from the figures below, MIOX does not add enough TDS to be of concern. In fact, research shows that too little salt may actually increase your odds of having a heart attack! An average MIOX unit adds the following levels of TDS and Na+ to the water:
Just a side note: a 12-oz. can of Coke contains 140 mg/L of sodium, which is 63 times higher than the level of sodium added to the water by a SAL-80!

In discussing what isn't allowed within a view (as I did in my February column "Viewer Advisory," InstantDoc ID 37660), I'm often asked about the importance of COMPUTE and COMPUTE BY clauses. These aren't allowed within a view's definition, yet they're important clauses to understand for detailed reporting. For summarizing data, many people use only GROUP BY when COMPUTE BY might be a better alternative. I'm partial to COMPUTE and COMPUTE BY, so I always take a minute to explain their use. When you want more than just the summary data (GROUP BY returns only one row for each grouping), using COMPUTE and COMPUTE BY is the best way to get the details and the aggregates.
To execute this article's examples, you can download the ComputeByExamples.sql commented script file at InstantDoc ID 38150. For simplified explanations of the results, I recommend running the examples in text mode (using Query Analyzer's Query dropdown menu, choose the Results in Text option or Ctrl+T). Later, I explain how grid mode (the default option for Query Analyzer) works for these examples.
SQL Server supports a non-tabular way of returning aggregations over sets of data. Often, people use GROUP BY to produce summary data, but GROUP BY doesn't always give enough detailed information. The GROUP BY clause is an ANSI-standard way of producing summary data, but it doesn't return the details on which the summary data is based. For example, the code in Listing 1 produces one row for each ProductID. In this case, the grouping row shows the sum of items sold (quantity) for each ProductID in the Order Details table. With this query, SQL Server will return a sum of the number of products sold and produce only a sum—just one row—for each ProductID (and only for those that have rows in Order Details). For products without rows in the Order Details table, the query won't return the ProductID and sum. For products with many sales, the query returns only one row—with the total sold (the sum of quantity).
This result set is extremely useful if you want only the total. However, if you need more details about these sales, the GROUP BY result set doesn't provide them. For example, if you sold 580 of product ID 23, how would you know whether the total represented one order with a quantity of 580, 580 orders with a quantity of 1 each, or something in between? In some cases, you need the summary data and the details.
As an option, adding the count(), avg(), min(), and max() aggregates gives you more information about each product. But you can't produce detailed information, such as the order on which the maximum number was sold or the customer to whom you sold it, without writing a separate query. Listing 2 shows how you can add more aggregates, but the results still give only limited information. If you're trying to get an estimate, this is probably sufficient, but what if you want details about each order in addition to the sum? One might argue that you're data mining here—looking for information about your data—and that programmatic data mining is better (and I'd probably agree). However, many of my customers still want paper-based or scrollable reports with the details and the sums. COMPUTE and COMPUTE BY offer a nice way to produce these reports.
COMPUTE and COMPUTE BY are T-SQL extensions whose result sets produce summary data while including all the details. The syntax mirrors this concept; instead of asking for aggregates in the SELECT list, you ask for them separately (in the COMPUTE clause) and SQL Server produces a separate result for each aggregate (a "logically" broken report). These reports might be several pages long, but you can flip through the pages and see summary data that's easy to read because the report format breaks where the summary data exists. The summary data stands out from the rest of the report almost as if it were highlighted, but it's really just another result set. Often, this report is called a control break report.
Technically, only COMPUTE BY breaks the report into groups, but even COMPUTE produces an extra result set for the grand aggregate (e.g., the grand total or overall average). Being able to quickly find the summary data and also have the details is the benefit of using the COMPUTE and COMPUTE BY clauses. You can combine COMPUTE and COMPUTE BY, even within the same query; COMPUTE offers grand totals and COMPUTE BY offers subtotals.
Consider the GROUP BY clause that Listing 1 shows. For each ProductID, the GROUP BY produces a sum. The result set doesn't give you the breakdown of sales for each of these ProductIDs. In Listing 3, I removed the GROUP BY so that the query would return just the list of Product ID and Quantity for each order. In the result set, all you get is a ProductID with its quantity. However, if you're using COMPUTE BY instead of GROUP BY, you can add attributes. Listing 4 adds the OrderDate, CompanyName, ProductName, and CategoryName to the SELECT list. Listing 4 shows a query that gathers the details; with a GROUP BY, this information wouldn't be displayed. Listing 4 gives you the details but not the sum, but what if you want both?
Here's where COMPUTE and COMPUTE BY come in handy. For the columns you want summary data for, you can add the aggregation in the COMPUTE or COMPUTE BY clause. Before you can write this query, you must meet the first requirement of a COMPUTE or COMPUTE BY clause—including in the SELECT list the columns where you want summary data. (Note that in a GROUP BY clause, you don't need to list the column defining the grouping.) You need to list each column only once for COMPUTE and COMPUTE BY, even if you want to see multiple aggregates of this data.
Listing 5 shows two additional clauses. The first COMPUTE clause is a COMPUTE BY, meaning that SQL Server will perform the computation for each grouping you defined in the BY portion. This query returns a sum of quantity for each Product ID, similar to the sum that the original GROUP BY in Listing 1 returned. However, this result set is significantly larger because it includes all the details about each order. The second COMPUTE clause is just a regular COMPUTE clause: It gives a grand total—in this case, the sum of all products.
The addition of the COMPUTE and COMPUTE BY columns was simple. However, I skipped a crucial requirement for using COMPUTE BY: You must supply an ORDER BY clause before the COMPUTE BY clause. For COMPUTE BY to work, the data must be ordered in such a way that the aggregate has a logical placement within the result set. For example, in Listing 5, you want to see the sum of quantity for each ProductID. To have a place to list the sum, you need to organize the rows so that all orders for a given ProductID appear together. By ordering the data, the ORDER BY logically organizes the data into groups. In the result set for Listing 5, the summary data appears physically with each grouping after each new ProductID (a sum appears after each ProductID's details). To provide this logical ordering for COMPUTE BY, SQL Server requires the ORDER BY clause. In Listing 5, the only aggregates that you can add to the COMPUTE BY clause are those that include ProductID. Listing 6 shows the syntax for adding the average quantity ordered and the count of orders for each Product ID. If you want additional groupings and aggregations, you also need a more complex ORDER BY clause.
To produce summary data for a variety of groups, you need to state multiple attributes in the ORDER BY clause. For example, you might want a broader sum of items sold by product type (e.g., the sum of all products that have the same CategoryName) in addition to the sum of each product (by ProductID). To do this, you need to logically order the data to create groupings by category so that you can place the sum after the entire group. You could order all the data by Product and then Category or by Category and then ProductID. Both are acceptable syntactically, but the latter makes more logical sense because you're really interested in the total sum of all products within each category and then each product individually. Listing 7 shows the changes necessary to create this COMPUTE BY statement.
Listing 7 uses multiple COMPUTE and COMPUTE BY clauses. With this query's ORDER BY clause, you can perform computations only in left-based subsets of the ORDER BY clause. The COMPUTE and COMPUTE BY clauses SQL Server supports for an ORDER BY CategoryID, ProductID statement are:
COMPUTE aggregate(quantity) BY CategoryID, ProductID COMPUTE aggregate(quantity) BY CategoryID COMPUTE aggregate(quantity) — for a grand total of quantity
These are left-based because they contain a subset of the ORDER BY starting from the left. Not only are all three of these supported, but all three appear in Listing 7. Listing 7's result set returns detailed data about an order (the OrderDate, CategoryName, ProductName, CompanyName, and Quantity ordered) as well as summary data about Categories and Products. It does so by using all three COMPUTE clauses possible for this ORDER BY clause.
Using text mode, review the output of this data. Next, run the query a second time using grid mode (Query, Results in Grid or Ctrl-D) to see how the results look different. In grid mode, SQL Server returns each of the aggregates in a separate grid from the details and lists them together horizontally (when you request multiple aggregates). In text mode, Query Analyzer returns the summary data vertically in the aggregate column. Grid mode collapses the data better if you're quickly looking for the sums, but I find the sums harder to read horizontally, especially if I'm asking for multiple aggregates from multiple columns. Additionally, in both grid mode and text mode, SQL Server defines the column headers—for example, sum for sum(), cnt for count(), avg for avg()—and you can't change them. If you plan to handle the COMPUTE or COMPUTE BY result set in your own custom client application, you should work with the application thoroughly to understand how it returns this data. Some client APIs make retrieving values from nontabular result sets difficult.
In reviewing the result set from Listing 7's code, you notice that some customers purchase the same products multiple times. You realize that what you're really interested in is the sum of the items purchased by each customer (not individual orders by each customer), but you want to see the totals ordered by the combination of CategoryName and ProductName and by just CategoryName alone. This may seem complex, but it's not really. You can easily combine GROUP BY with COMPUTE and COMPUTE BY. Group all the individual customer orders for a given product (removing the date of purchase), then list them with each category and product listing.
Logically, the GROUP BY clause should come before the ORDER BY and COMPUTE clauses; GROUP BY will require an aggregate in the SELECT list (to contain the sum of products a customer purchased). Finally, the COMPUTE clauses will produce an aggregate of the individual aggregates. Listing 8 shows the result of adding the GROUP BY clause to group the customer purchases. Note that the COMPUTE clauses must use SUM to gather the sums of all groups. In fact, you must use the complete expression SUM(SUM(OD.Quantity)) and not SUM('Total Purchased') because using column headers in the COMPUTE clause isn't allowed. Column headers (sometimes called aliases) are allowed only in the ORDER BY clause.
Finally, if you want date information, you can include the date in the SELECT list, as long as it's an aggregated date such as the min or max date. Adding aggregates for date can be helpful in determining the earliest order (min(OrderDate)) or the most recent order (max(OrderDate)). Listing 9 shows a query that takes advantage of this information, showing the count of purchases, the first purchase date, and the most recent purchase date for each CompanyName.
Although COMPUTE and COMPUTE BY might appear challenging to use at first because they create multiple result sets, I recommend using them with the summary data, where other aggregates fail to provide all the necessary information. Overall, COMPUTE and COMPUTE BY are an excellent means of reporting when detailed printed reports are necessary.

I got a Wii back in January. Some time after that I signed up for my free three issues of Nintendo Power (side note: I still have all of my old Nintendo Power issues from back in the day). For some reason I ended up getting four issues. With the fourth issue came this flyer thing that just talks about cool Wii stuff. The cover of the flyer is to the right. I assume this is for Nintendo Power subscribers that don't already have a Wii. I read magazines in the bathroom so naturally this flyer ended up on on top of a stack of magazines on the back of the toilet. I'm also a guy, so I spend a fair amount of time standing facing the toilet re-looking at whatever is on the top of the stack on the back of the toilet. After a couple of weeks of looking at this flyer, I realized there's something odd about it. If you're interested, click on it to take a closer look before you continue.
Okay, maybe I'm just imagining this, but over half of the Miis on that cover are stoned. At least one of the other ones is hopped up on something else. Is Nintendo trying to tell us something? Or am I just wrong, and the Miis are just really tired?

Mission Matters
People, prosperity, and the planet
A new fuel-cell design brings top honors to student engineers.
Some 1.6 billion people around the world lack access to electricity. So a team of SCU student engineers has come up with a robust, off-the-grid solution that could make a difference, combining solar-and fuel-cell technology. What they came up with—the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMeFC)—is a design innovative enough to bring top honors from the Environmental Protection Agency's P3 competition in Washington, D.C., this past April.
SCU students led by senior Michael Sizemore '12 developed "a brand-new clean-energy system designed solely by us," he says. They competed against 40-odd colleges and universities, earning bragging rights and a $90,000 award from the EPA to help advance their design and move it into the marketplace. The team began its work under the guidance of engineering faculty member Dan Strickland, who was tragically killed in a car accident last fall. Shoba Krishnan, associate professor of electrical engineering, then stepped in to serve as faculty advisor.
Read more about the team in the San Francisco Chronicle.
The team devised a fuel-cell system that generates electricity from hydrogen and oxygen source tanks. Photovoltaic panels provide power for electrolysis, running the fuel cell in reverse to resupply the fuel tanks—and simultaneously to provide power. The plan is to implement the system in SCU's Solar Decathlon houses and to work with BlueEnergy in Nicaragua to provide rural, off-grid power.

Wherever this article reads "Psystar", you can replace it with any of the other clone makers such as Quo or PearC.
"It's like suing Mercedes because their engines don't fit in a Suzuki."
This is a completely and utterly flawed analogy, and wrong on so many levels. A Mercedes engine is designed and built to fit into a Mercedes chassis and bodywork. A Suzuki chassis and bodywork are designed and built to house Suzuki engines. This means that without heavy modifications by very skilled technicians, a Mercedes engine simply will not fit inside a Suzuki. Nor Mercedes, nor Suzuki have any obligation to make it easier for you to perform such an engine swap.
Mac OS X, however, while designed to run on Macs, is very easily installed on non-Mac machines. Snow Leopard is a little too new (but lots of people are already successful at installing it non-Apple labelled machines), but it's completely trivial to install Leopard on a non-Apple labelled machine. Heck, the internals of a Mac consist of the exact same parts as any other random machine. In fact, a lot of other manufacturers even use higher quality parts.
However, even if you are successful at putting a Mercedes engine in your Suzuki, nobody is going to care. Mercedes won't sue you, Suzuki won't sue you. You can even make a business out of doing something like that. In fact, this is exactly what many smaller car manufacturers do. Spyker uses Audi engines. Pagani Zonda uses Mercedes engines. Weissman uses BMW engines.
These smaller car companies buy engines from bigger brands, and build cars around them. They even tweak said engines for better performance if they have to. Psystar is doing the exact same thing: they are buying legal copies of Mac OS X, and build computers around them.
Even if Audi, Mercedes, and BMW stopped selling engines to those smaller brands, those smaller brands could still, technically, simply buy complete cars, rip out their engines, and discard of the remaining carcasses. This would be highly inefficient, but no one will stop them. In fact, coach-builders (which are commercial enterprises!) do something similar: you provide a donor car, they strip it until only the chassis or chassis and engine are left, and then put different components on top. Again: nobody is going to sue them for that.
So, the car analogy holds no water whatever way you spin it.
"It's like complaining the OS of a Nokia doesn't install on a Samsung."
This analogy, which comes in an endless amount of variants (even read one about microwaves), is also quite flawed. First of all, the same problem arises with this one as arose with the previous analogy: it is highly unlikely that code on your Nokia phone will work on your Samsung phone. It will most likely require heavy modifications which you might not be able to do without the source code.
Second of all, this analogy is flawed because Psystar is not trying to install Mac OS X on ready-made machines from for example Dell or HP. In fact, clone makers like Psystar are trying to match the components inside Macintosh machines as closely as possible, to ensure that Mac OS X runs the best and is easily installed. If you could build a device with similar components as used in that Nokia phone, and you found a way to transfer the code onto it and run it, Nokia won't sue you.
Whether or not Nokia will sue you if you were to build a business on top of assembling your own phones and putting Nokia's operating system on it remains to be seen - they might. However, they would be just as wrong in suing you as Apple is in suing clone makers. As long as you remove the copy of the operating system from the donor phone so you don't breach copyright laws, I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to do that. You paid for that phone and the copy of the software on it, so you should be able to do with it as you please as long as you remain within the boundaries of copyright law.
"Psystar is stealing from Apple."
Unless Psystar employees are walking into Apple office buildings or Apple Stores to actually take Apple-owned items without permission, Psystar isn't stealing. The truth is, of course, that Psystar is buying fully legal copies of Mac OS X from Apple retailers or even directly from Apple itself, and reselling those copies. I've lost count how many times I've resold legally purchased copies of software. Heck, I even resold legally purchased retail copies of Mac OS X several times. If that's considered stealing, then I - and a lot of you, too - belong in jail.

If you had some video, it could have been an internet sensation. It might be worth following a guy like that around with a GoPro
How about take a course and climb your ass off with lots of cool partners? Works for many...

September is National Breakfast Month; didja know it? You're welcome. In honor of September and breakfast and brunch and most especially bacon, I decided to make a breakfast casserole for the very first time. [DUN-DUN-DUUUUN!!]
Oh the drama, too much.
Let's just get to the eats, shall we?
If it weren't for the bacon, I might never have tried to make this because I'm not a fan of "egg-y dishes" like quiche. Blech. But it occurred to me several months ago that it's the yolk taste that i dislike, so I started using an egg substitute and guess what? I like eggs again. So naturally, I used them in this recipe!
It's an easy recipe to make, I swear. Sour dough bread cubes, chopped roasted red peppers and cheese go in first. Don't forget the bacon!
Then you pour the cottage cheese, egg substitute, milk and spice mixture (and more bacon) over the top and let it soak for several hours or overnight in the fridge. Plan ahead and have patience!
Once it's ready for baking, about 45 minutes will do the trick. Let it sit for a bit once you remove it from the oven to give it a chance to settle.
But then…..dig in! It's a breakfast casserole you'll want to make over and over again. Enjoy!
Don't Forget the Bacon Breakfast Casserole
Prep Time: 15 minutes • Cook Time: 40 minutes • Serves: 8
3 cups sourdough bread cubes
2 cups (8 oz.) KRAFT Mexican Style Finely Shredded Cheddar Jack Cheese (w/o spices)
1 jar (12 oz.) roasted red peppers, rinsed and chopped
1 pkg. (2.5 oz.) OSCAR MAYER Bacon, fully cooked, heated and chopped into pieces
1 cup BREAKSTONE's cottage cheese
12 oz. egg substitute
1 cup fat-free milk
1 tsp. chili powder
¼ tsp. cumin
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ tsp. ground black pepper
SPRAY an 11 x 9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place sour dough bread cubes into pan, and then an even layer of the roasted red peppers. Sprinkle the cheese over the peppers, and then half of the chopped bacon.
PROCESS the cottage cheese until smooth in a food processor. Briefly blend in the egg substitute, followed by the milk, chili powder and cumin. Pour over ingredients in baking pan. Sprinkle with remaining bacon, cilantro and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate 4-5 hours or overnight.
PREHEAT oven to 375 degrees. Bake, uncovered, 40-45 minutes and top is golden brown.
This is my own recipe and I hope you'll love it! Visit Kraft Recipes if you need more brunch ideas or even a delicious punch to serve with it.

Bacon, so often the star of the dish it's in, is only part of what makes this flavorful breakfast casserole delicious!

Its been mentioned many times but the warriors always seem to start slow.
Detroit game's start was very good (as well as third quarter) pushing the ball, getting open shots, taking shots in transition, letting curry shoot stepping into the point while coming down court. And high picks as well. Our shooters, curry and thompson are much better suited to shoot off the high picks than just keep runing through multiple screens. For one, their feet are better set because they don't have to turn around coming of screens and thus win extra time to have their bodies prepared for shot. Plus, they get less tired, and can play better defense and log more minutes. And there's nothing like seeing couple of balls thread the net for a shooter. Hopefully this becomes the trend.
Great points couldnt agree more

The Ducks announced Tuesday that Bobby Ryan has signed a five-year deal expected to be worth $25.5 million.
The life of the contract is interesting because it takes Ryan two years beyond the end of the contracts of Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry. It also goes beyond the expiration of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement, by which time Ryan might well be viewed as a bargain.
The Ducks can now count on Getzlaf, Perry, Ryan, Jonas Hiller, Lubomir Visnovsky and Toni Lydman for the next three seasons.

The agreement came after more than a week of talks that resumed in earnest prior to Labor Day weekend, eliminating the possibility of a large distraction heading into training camp that opens on Saturday.
ESPN's E.J. Hradek reported that Ryan will be paid $3.25 million in the coming 2010-11 season and $5,562,500 in each of the remaining four years. A source told the Register that the contract does not contain either a no-trade clause or a no-movement clause. Ryan is expected to sign this afternoon.
It is believed that the offer Ryan ultimately accepted was put on the table sometime last week. The Ducks bumped up their original offer of $25 million over five years in late June and ultimately got the five years they were seeking as the winger became a $5-million-a-year player while giving up one year of unrestricted free agency.
Ryan's deal will carry a salary cap hit of $5.1 million, leaving the Ducks with a shade $5.8 million under the ceiling to either spend or hold onto as cap space during the season. The cap figure is according to capgeek.com.
Ryan, 23, was the top remaining restricted free agent that had not signed a contract. The young sniper led the Ducks with 35 goals last season after scoring 31 in his first full NHL season, one in which made him a finalist for the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year.

'Walking Dead': David Morrissey on Governor's trauma, 'complicated' path

So now we know what happened to the Governor.
"The Walking Dead" continued its season four focus on character-driven episodes with Sunday's "Live Bait," a standalone installment that charted the one-eyed villain's time out on the road after his fateful showdown with Rick and his band of survivors, a conflict that ended in surprising, horrifying violence. British actor David Morrissey said even though the Governor, now living as Brian Blake, has blood on his hands, he's struggling to cope with his guilt and wrestling with the realization that great darkness dwells inside him.
Hero Complex caught up with Morrissey to chat about having the chance to more deeply explore the complicated psychology of a man at the end of the world, and what might happen next now that the Governor's past has caught up with him.
Those who missed Sunday's episode, be warned. Spoilers are ahead.
Hero Complex: Did you know at what point the character was going to return to the show?
David Morrissey: Yes, I did. I didn't know the details of what was going to happen. I had a very loose picture of it. I knew that I wasn't going to be in the first four episodes.
HC: What was your reaction when you read Nichole Beattie's script for "Live Bait"?
DM: I was just overjoyed. Nichole Beattie, I've always loved her writing. She's one of the best, I think. When I found out that she was writing that episode, I was just overjoyed. And when I got it… it's like a movie. As an actor, it's asking so much from you. You go through this whole range of emotion, and it was so wonderful to play. It was physically very difficult, just given what you have to do, but also emotionally really difficult. I loved it. It's exactly what you need as an actor. I think it's what this season has done very well. It really gives actors meat. It gives them something to go for. It has all its big numbers, the walker moments and the horror and all that, but it has this great human roller coaster inside it.
HC: The episode really gives you an entirely different window into the psychology of this man.
DM: What happened at the end of season three was a terrible violent act, but it wasn't a premeditated act. It wasn't this man planning the destruction of his own people. He was a man who went into blackout, like a red mist came over him. I think what we see in this season, certainly in episode six, is a man deeply traumatized by his own action. He's now in this very strange Jekyll-and-Hyde like existence, and just like Jekyll and Hyde, the good side of the man, the Dr. Jekyll side of the man, has that sense of going, 'When is this darkness going to come out?' I don't know. I'm victim to my dark side. It's interesting to see a man fighting himself and trying to reinvent himself. The question is, can we reinvent ourselves?
HC: He seems to have almost compartmentalized what happened in Woodbury and he's perhaps returned to the person he was before the apocalypse.
DM: I think that's what the desire is. There's a bit where he's looking at a photograph of himself and his wife and his child and he folds over his face because he's trying to rub that way, erase that out of his memory. He's just looking at the goodness of his past, which is his wife and his child. Then later on when he's committed himself to Lilly and Megan and the family, he burns it because he has to burn the past. He has to commit totally to this new life, he is a different person now. He has to take on the idea of being Brian 100% because he can't look backwards. Backwards, there's a lot of darkness there, and he doesn't want to have that.
HC: Previously, the moments that we saw the lightness in him had to do with his love for Penny. He now appears poised to have a chance to be a father figure once again, though I fear it might not pan out so well…
DM: I don't know about that. It depends on what pan out means. I think there's a sense of that his duty is to protect those people. That's what he thinks, his duty to make sure that these two women and the girl get to safety. We'll have to wait to see how he achieves that or if he achieves that.
HC: Do you know early on where the season is heading or specifically what's in store for the Governor?
DM: Not really. We have very little idea of where it's going. Sometimes you'll sit down with Scott and he'll say this thing will happen, but he didn't give a lot away, and I think I'm not alone among the actors. I quite like not knowing. In life, I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. If forces you to be in the moment. You're making decisions on a scene-by-scene basis rather than a season-by-season basis. That's good for me from a discipline point of view with an actor.
HC: Did it feel different to play this incarnation of the Governor/Brian?
DM: It felt different, but it didn't feel a different man. The work I did on season three, I did a lot of work on the man before the zombie apocalypse. I did a lot of work on what this man's life would be before it all went down leading up to him becoming the Governor of Woodbury. I think because I'd done that work on the man when we got to this season, I was able to tap into that side of him. We all have different sides to us and I was able to tap into that side. It made sense to me to try to get back to that.
What I like about it is the fact that you have these two women and this girl who see him as one thing but the audience has knowledge that the other characters don't have. The audience knows what this man's capable of so they see his internal struggle. There's a bit of a secret going on between him and the audience, which is about his internal struggle. I think when he kills the old man with the oxygen tank, there's a glimmer that he's enjoying that too much. There's a bit at the end of episode six where he attacks the zombies and he fights in such a visceral way. You know that this man is used to fighting. Those things are slightly worrying for the audience, I would hope. Then at the end, he meets Martinez, and that's literally his past catching up with him. What's he going to do now? How's he going to still be Brian when there's a man standing there who knows everything about the Governor?
HC: How is he going to do that?
DM: You'll have to wait to find out. The only thing I could say is that his life suddenly gets much more complicated given the arrival of Martinez and how he decides to play his past catching up with him.

I got the car on 5-23-2008 with a gm 350 and a 700r4. I then pulled the motor and put in a 383 stoker I took out the 700r4 and in the middle of building a th350 for the car. I got the 383 from my best friend's brother who shortly after lost his life in a hunting accident. R.I.P Josh
On 5-26-08 the car took first place in the best unfinished at the Oconto Falls Memorial day Show and Shine
Well my Kia Forte got totaled from someone who ran a stop sign and I t-boned them. I then took my insurance refund and bought this beauty. It took lots of searching and lots of testing many cars but I stumbled upon this one. I test drove it and instantly loved it. First off the appearance was what draw me to it, it is immaculate and only $10,000. Then I sat in it and the interior is as nice as the exterior. I then asked to test drive it and put the keys in the ignition and seen it had only 51,000 miles on it and I was even more impressed. After my test drive I was pretty much in love. The car handles great, has great power, great fuel economy, and is overall a nice ride. So i bought it and the only problem was it needed a new rack and pinion, which was no problem and the dealer fixed in a day. So now I've had this beauty since September.

Trixie Belden assumes her summer is going to stink. Her two older brothers are away at camp, there?s a copperhead snake on the loose, a millionaire?s daughter moves in next door, and there?s a runaway boy down the block. Maybe Trixie?s summer won?t stink at all.
I loved this book because it was very suspenseful when the mansion was on fire. You start to think that Trixie, Honey, and Jim would be killed. It was also suspenseful because when Trixie's little brother was bitten by a poisonous snake you weren't sure about his fate. Also, you don't know who found Trixie and Honey in the very end of the book. If you like old mysteries then you should read this book.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes to read mysteries. I would also recommend this book to anyone who would really like to get into good books.

Hey rperez88. I'm out in the O'Fallon / Old Monroe area, but am looking for a gaming group to play with regularly. I'm into D&D4e mainly, which I'm moving to from about 10 years of GMing 3.5 with a couple of steady groups.
I'd be interested to know if you still have room in your group and what the general ages are. I'm 32, have a good sense of humor and have good hygeine too (lol). I have to schedule around my wife and our 3 kids, but am interested in seeing what's available. I moved out here about 5 hyears back from San Francisco and have been missing a regular game ever since.

Bruins ink Soderberg
April 13. 2013 8:52PM
BOSTON - The Boston Bruins signed forward Carl Soderberg to a three-year, one-way contract through the 2014-15 season, the team announced on Satuday.
Soderberg's salary is worth an annual cap figure of $1 million. Soderberg will join the club on Wednesday and will be eligible for the remainder of the NHL regular season and Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Said Boston GM Peter Chiarelli, "We are fortunate to get a player like Carl at this stage of the season. I would like to thank the President of the Linkoping hockey club, Mike Helber and their GM, Johan Hemlin, in playing a significant part in allowing Carl to play for the Boston Bruins. Carl is a big strong two way center who can also play wing. We look forward to him joining our team this week."

Christopher Thompson's Closing the Deal: We are surrounded by goodCHRISTOPHER THOMPSON
April 21. 2013 12:25AM
This past week, our worst fears came true. Terrorism struck again, and this time it was in our backyard. While there have been countless terrorist plans and attempts thwarted, we've been fortunate to have avoided this reality for so long.
April 15 will be permanently etched into our minds, just like Sept. 11. It's a day we will never forget and a day where we will remember exactly where we were and what we were doing when we first heard the news about the bombing at the Boston Marathon.
Like most people, I was working. I was at my desk when a co-worker who lives in Boston casually came up to me with a concerned but calm look on his face and asked if I was busy. He stated that there had been a bombing at the Boston Marathon finish line. I immediately checked various news websites, and at the time there were no news reports online about the situation. He explained that his wife works at the Prudential Center in Boston and that she sent him a text message saying there was a bomb that went off and that the entire building was on lock down. She had tried to call him, but the cell service was not working. It's a moment I will never forget.
As news of the terrorist attack started to come out, I was shocked. My shock quickly turned to anger, and that anger hasn't subsided much. Ninety-nine point nine percent of the world can't fathom what happened. And we all have the same question. Why? As difficult as it is to comprehend, it's important to also look for the good that comes out of horrible situations like this. And immediately following the bombings, there was plenty of examples of good and heroism.
I immediately tuned into live news sources that were reporting from the scene in Boston. The scene was chaotic but I noticed something else. Yes, there was a catastrophic incident, several people killed and hundreds of people severely injured, but the good that was happening right before my eyes couldn't be overlooked.
There was one part of video that really stuck out in my mind. As the first bomb went off and people realized what was happening, people started to flee the area. But there were a lot of people who didn't. Instead, they risked their own lives and immediately started helping those who were injured, not knowing what could happen next. Along with the police, fire and medical personnel who were on the scene, ordinary people acted selflessly and put the needs and safety of others before their own. And that is something I find absolutely amazing.
Over the last week, people have shared their feelings, opinions and thoughts about the terrorist attack in Boston. I've read a lot of them, and I consider myself fortunate to have the opportunity to express my own feelings in the Sunday News today.
Of all the posts and comments I've read, there is one that I believe sums it all up the best. It's a quote we can all relate to and it details how so many of us feel. It's a quote that has gone viral and while it's been read by a lot of people, I consider it worthy of sharing.
Comedian and actor Patton Oswalt posted the following:
"I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, 'Well, I've had it with humanity.' But I was wrong,' This is a giant planet and we're lucky to live on it, but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in a while, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they're pointed towards darkness. But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak.
"This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago. So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, 'The good outnumber you, and we always will.'"
While we are all still in shock and grieving for those that lost their lives and the many who were gravely injured, it's important for us to do what we do best. Stay strong, support those in need and most importantly, don't let the gruesome, cowardly acts of others influence or change our lives in any way.
Christopher Thompson (firstname.lastname@example.com) writes Closing the Deal weekly for the Sunday News.

Calcitonin Salmon Injection
(kal si toe' nin)
WHY is this medicine prescribed?
Calcitonin salmon injection is used to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to weaken and break more easily. Calcitonin salmon injection is also used to treat Paget's disease of bone and to quickly reduce calcium levels in the blood when needed. Calcitonin is a human hormone that is also found in salmon. It works by preventing bone breakdown and increasing bone density (thickness).
HOW should this medicine be used?
Calcitonin salmon comes as a solution to be injected under the skin (subcutaneously) or into the muscle (intramuscularly). It is usually used once a day or once every other day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use calcitonin salmon injection exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist will show you how to administer the medication. Follow all directions carefully. Throw away all empty syringes and vials as directed by your healthcare provider.
Before preparing a dose, look at the vial. If the solution is discolored or contains particles, do not use it, and call your pharmacist.
Calcitonin salmon helps treat osteoporosis and Paget's disease of bone but does not cure them. Continue to use calcitonin salmon even if you feel well. Do not stop using calcitonin salmon without talking to your doctor.
Are there OTHER USES for this medicine?
Calcitonin salmon injection is also used sometimes to treat osteogenesis imperfecta. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this medication for your condition.

Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska has been indicted by a Washington, D.C. grand jury. The seven-count indictment "relate[s] to his holding of public office." The Justice Department will hold a press conference to announce the indictment in a few minutes.
I have no idea whether the charges against Stevens have merit or how serious they are, but he is up for re-election this year and has trailed in recent polls. The Republican Party can ill afford to lose what should be a safe seat in Alaska. Is it too late to find a new candidate? I don't know.
PAUL adds: According to Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post, the filing deadline in Alaska has already passed and Stevens is one of six candidates competing in the state's August. 26 primary. Thus, the best possible scenario for Republicans might be for Stevens to win the primary and then step aside, since this could conceivably allow the party to replace him with a candidate of their choice for the general election. Cillizza adds that if anyone other than Stevens wins the primary, Republicans presumably would be stuck with a second tier (at best) candidate against a well-funded and well-known Democrat, Archorage mayor Mark Begich.
MORE (from Paul): According to CQ Politics, the indictment of Stevens puts Republicans in serious jeopardy of losing his Senate seat to the Democrats this year. It has changed its assessment of the race from "leans Republican" to "leans Democratic."

An Ashland-based research and development firm that has been under investigation since 2010 for allegedly misusing federal funds and bribing a government official was awarded a $370,000 federal contract in September.
In March, federal agents seized thousands of payroll, tax and personal finance documents, as well as digital data and other items from Sky Research Inc. and its owners, Sky and Anne Sky. Investigators are still sifting through the evidence, according to motions granted Nov. 9 in U.S. District Court in Eugene by Judge Thomas Coffin.
The company specializes in aerial mapping, geophysical surveys and remote sensing, and also develops equipment for detecting unexploded material. Those products are put to use in decommissioned military ranges and other areas that harbor the threat of live munitions.
The new contract, awarded Sept. 18 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers office in Alexandria, Va., is for the development of aerial metallic-detection equipment.
A Corps spokesman, Eugene Pawlik, said it is not unusual for companies to continue to land government contracts while they are under investigation.
"Sky Research Inc. has not been excluded from receiving new contract awards. "… An investigation is not a conviction," Pawlik said in an email. "The investigation is ongoing, results of the investigation are not complete. Many firms are investigated and continue to receive contract awards throughout the federal government."
Sky Research was awarded about $160 million in federal contracts from 2004 to 2011, the timeframe in which alleged bribes were paid to a Corps contract program manager in Omaha, Neb., according to two 40-page affidavits filed in U.S. District Court in Eugene in support of search warrants.
No charges have been brought against the Skys or Jerry Hodgson, the Army Corps official with whom the couple allegedly dealt.
Sky was formerly known as William Henry Hovelman Jr., according to a 1989 Josephine County divorce record.
A confidential informant who contacted the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (known as CID) in September 2010 sparked the investigation, according to the affidavits.
According to one of the affidavits, filed March 12 by former CID Special Agent Jason Loeffler, multiple Sky Research employees allegedly knew that Hodgson was fixing bids for the company and providing insider information about how much to bid.
Emails seized by federal agents allegedly show Hodgson and the Sky Research employees discussing, before a bid opens, how much money the company would like to receive to fulfill an upcoming contract in order to exaggerate the size of the project and increase its profits, according to the March affidavit.
According to an affidavit filed July 2 by CID Special Agent Derek Lindbom, an investigator on the case, about 99 percent of Sky Research's contracts are with the U.S. government.
Hodgson maintained a close relationship with the Skys, who allegedly hired three personal assistants over a span of eight years to fulfill sexual favors for him, the affidavits state.
Hodgson's alleged insider help on the bids was so well known within the company that some employees used the term "Jerry-ing it" when referring to an upcoming contract the company intended to fix, according to Loeffler's affidavit.
Hodgson oversaw eight contracts totaling more than $159 million awarded to Sky Research, Lindbom's affidavit states. Most of the projects are outstanding, but the federal government has paid the firm at least $21.9 million to date, it said.
In March, authorities seized property from Sky Research's Ashland facility, at 445 Dead Indian Memorial Road, a hangar at the Ashland Municipal Airport and one of the company's hangars in Englewood, Colo., as well as the Skys' residence in Ashland, in the 1000 block of East Main Street.
The two affidavits cite bribery, false claims, conspiracy to defraud the United States, wire fraud and unlawful release of sensitive procurement information as suspected crimes.

June 6, 2012, marks the Internet Society's World IPv6 Launch. On this day, Ericsson, along with other leading Internet companies around the world, will permanently enable IPv6 for its global website.
The world is getting connected – fast. Whether it's the smart devices in our pockets or businesses and vertical industries being revolutionized though machine-to-machine connectivity, the central influence of the internet on modern life is rapidly exhausting the number of unassigned addresses.
IPv4, the foundation of the Internet today, will not be sufficient in the long run to support the rapid growth of the internet in terms of traffic and connected devices. The participants of the World IPv6 Launch work together on an accelerated timeline for cooperatively identifying and addressing common challenges with IPv6.
Ericsson considers IPv6 critical for the internet's continued growth as a platform for innovation and economic growth. Ericsson has been a longstanding supporter of IPv6, from its development and standardization all the way to its deployment as a product. By participating in Internet Society's World IPv6 Launch Day on June 6, Ericsson wants to demonstrate that it stands behind what it recommends to its customers: an unwavering commitment to IPv6 and a resolute deployment.
–This is an important day for us at Ericsson, as our research teams around the world have helped develop IPv6 for over a decade,– says Erik Ekudden, Vice President, Head of Technology Strategies and Industry at Ericsson. –As we expect mobile broadband subscriptions to reach 5 billion in 2017, we need a new generation of IP to support this.–
