is asbestos?
Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring fibrous minerals. It is mined and milled from rock and is thin and strong. Chrysotile (white asbestos), Amosite (brown asbestos), and Crocidolite (blue asbestos), are the most common types of asbestos used in manufacturing. Rarer forms are Tremolite, Anthophyllite, and Actinolite. When viewed under a microscope, Chrysotile fibers are pliable and cylindrical and are often arranged in bundles, whereas Amosite and Chrocidolite fibers appear to look like tiny needles.
Q. Is
one type of asbestos more dangerous than another?
There have been more cases of Mesothelioma and cancer found in people working with Crocidolite than any other type of asbestos. However, all forms of asbestos, except Chrysotile, are of the same mineralogical family called Amphiboles. Even though there appear to be fewer incidences of disease in workers who deal only with Chrysotile, all asbestos forms are believed to carry similar risks.
Q. Where
does asbestos come from?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral and deposits of it can be found in most countries around the world. Most asbestos comes from the former Soviet Union, Canada, South Africa and Australia.
Q. How is asbestos mined?
Asbestos is mined from the ground usually by open-pit method. The raw material is very coarse and looks like old wood. The raw material is processed and refined into fluffy fibers, then the fibers are added to some form of binding agent, like cement, to form an asbestos containing material.
Q. Why
has asbestos been so widely used?
Asbestos appeals to manufactures and builders for a variety of reasons. Asbestos is heat and chemical resistant, doesn't corrode, and performs well in insulating products. These characteristics, when combined with its flexibility to be woven, has made asbestos useful in many industrial applications. Few materials used for manufacturing, have all of these characteristics, making asbestos a popular choice for use in thermal, chemical, and fire-resistant applications.
Q. How
many products contain asbestos?
has been estimated that 3,000 different types of commercial products
contain asbestos. In homes built prior to 1978, asbestos
is most commonly found as thermal insulation on boilers
and pipes. Unfortunately, it can also be found in many other household materials, which include:
Q. How
long has asbestos been in use?
Asbestos was first used in the United States in the early 1900's, to insulate steam engines but was not used extensively until the 40's. After World War II, and for the next thirty years, schools and other public buildings were built using asbestos and asbestos-containing materials (ACM). Primarily, ACM was use as fireproofing, insulation, soundproofing and decoration.
Q. How
might I be exposed to asbestos fibers?
Asbestos can enter the environment from natural mineral deposits which have been exposed to the weather, and fiber releases arising from the application, disturbance and removal of asbestos-containing materials (ACM). Asbestos may be found in products such as floor tiles, roof shingles, exterior siding, cement, automotive brakes, acoustical and structural insulation, etc. Asbestos fibers can be released into the air when ACM becomes damaged. If friable ACM (material that can be crumbled by hand pressure) is disturbed and becomes airborne, an inhalation hazard may result. Asbestos fibers in non-friable ACM (i.e. floor tiles, sidings, laboratory desktops, etc.) are so tightly bound in the material that they are in, that they do not easily release fibers. However, if the material is abraded, sanded or sawed, the material can easily be rendered friable.
Q. What type of respiratory protection should be used when working with Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM)?
you need a respirator that is equipped with a High Efficiency Particulate
(HEPA) filter. These filters are magenta colored. There are
various factors that determine the type of respirator you need. To
learn more about the respirators and what would best suit your situation, visit
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's website.

Q. How
do asbestos fibers enter the body?
Inhalation -
Breathing air which has asbestos-containing fibers in it, is the primary route of damaging exposure. Some of the asbestos fibers reaching the lungs are eliminated in exhaled air and others are coughed from the lungs with mucous. The fibers reaching the deepest air passages of the lungs can produce the greatest damage.
Ingestion -
The digestive system can be exposed to asbestos fibers from drinking
water and mucous cleared from the lungs. A small number of fibers
may penetrate the cells that line the digestive system, but only
a few will reach the bloodstream. These fibers will be released in
the urine.
the Skin - Asbestos fibers contacting the skin rarely
pass through the skin into the body.
Q. How
can asbestos affect my health?
is important to note that not everyone who is exposed to asbestos
develops an asbestos-related disease. Available
information on the health effects related to asbestos exposure
primarily comes from long-term studies of people exposed
to large quantities of asbestos in the workplace.
Asbestosis - Asbestos
workers who breathe in asbestos fibers may develop a slow build-up
of scar-like tissue in the lungs called asbestosis. This scarred
tissue impairs the ability of the lungs and heart to adequately
provide oxygen to the body. This is a serious disease and may take
20 to 30 years to develop after exposure. Asbestosis can eventually lead
to disability or death in people exposed to high amounts of asbestos.
Cancer and Mesothelioma - Asbestos workers also have
an increased chance of developing two types of cancer: lung cancer
and mesothelioma. Lung cancer starts within the respiratory
tissues and mesothelial cancer grows from the thin membranes
that surround the lung or the abdominal cavities. Both lung cancer
and mesothelioma are usually fatal. These asbestos-related diseases
do not appear immediately, but may develop 20 to 50 years after
Plaques - All types of asbestos can cause a variety of non-malignant
pleural conditions as well. For reference, the pleura is
the chest cavity or the place where the lungs sit. A thickening
of the pleura can occur which can impair lung function. Pleural
plaques (a gelatinous substance) can also occur, typically after
about 15 years from being exposed to airborne asbestos fibers.
health effects from oral asbestos exposures are unclear. In some
areas where the residents are exposed to asbestos fibers in the drinking
water, cancers of the esophagus, stomach, and intestine may be a
greater concern. After reviewing the scientific evidence from human
experience and animal testing, however, health authorities are still
unsure of asbestos links to cancer in the digestive system.
Q. I've
been feeling sickly and there is asbestos in my home/office, is
the asbestos causing my illness?
latency period for an asbestos-related disease is between 20 to 50
years after exposure, therefore, any immediate health symptoms you're
experiencing are probably related to something else. You should
contact a physician to discuss possible allergies or other health
problems as well as an environmental inspection specialist to evaluate
your home. To locate a specialist, please refer to the Indoor Air Quality Related Links Page.
Q. Is
there a medical test to determine whether I have been exposed to
asbestos fibers?
X-rays - The
most common test used to determine if you have been exposed to
asbestos is a chest x-ray. Asbestos disease usually occurs
long after initial exposure (20-50 years). An X-ray cannot
detect the asbestos fibers themselves, so it will not be helpful
in determining if you were recently exposed to asbestos. However,
if exposure occurred 20 or more years ago, it can detect early
signs of lung disease caused by asbestos exposure.
Function Test -
Another test which can be conducted by a physician is a pulmonary
function test. This test is helpful in identifying lung capacity
changes. Periodic health examinations by a physician, including a
chest x-ray and review of asbestos-based risk factors, can be effective.
Asbestos risk factors include levels, frequency, and length of asbestos
exposures; period of time since exposures, and smoking history. The
combined impact of cigarette smoking and fiber exposures can increase
the chances of asbestos-related lung diseases substantially.
Q. Does
merely being exposed to asbestos guarantee health problems?
problems are usually related to the amount and length of time of
exposure to asbestos. The more prolonged and intense the exposure,
the greater the risk of a health problem.
Q. What
are some statistics on asbestos-related diseases?
Primarily, individuals who die of an asbestos-related disease have had a history of long-term occupational exposure. For more information on the number of asbestos-related deaths as well as other asbestos-related statistics, please refer to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services web page

Siding and Vinyl Asbestos Floor Tiles
Q. What
does "non-friable" mean?
means that a material is able to be reduced to a powder by hand pressure. Asbestos
containing materials (ACM) that are friable have a much greater tendency
to release fibers into the air. Conversely, non-friable asbestos
containing materials, because of their nature, do not easily release
their fibers into the air. This class of material must be mechanically
impacted (power tools such as sanders, drills, chippers, saws, etc.)
to release fibers. ACM floors, mastics, and siding are classified as
non-friable materials.
Q. What
type of floor tile may contain asbestos?
has been used in most 9' X 9' tiles, some 12' X
12' tiles and in some of the mastics used to glue the floor
tiles down. The only way to tell for sure if something contains asbestos
is to have it analyzed by a laboratory accredited to do this type
of analysis. For more information on accredited laboratories,
go to that topic on our Related
Asbestos Links page.
Q. I'm
a contractor and I've heard that in NJ, if I want to remove
asbestos floor tile or sheet vinyl flooring I don't need a NJ Asbestos
Contractor's license. Is that true?
Contractors must
normally acquire a NJ Department of Labor and Workplace Development
license to conduct this type of work, but there are provisions for
an exemption from these regulations. To learn more about the
exemption process, you can link to the Compliance
Assistance Project page
or refer to the Indoor Environments Contacts page for information on how to contact the DOH.
Q. For
exempted asbestos work, what is the approved method of removing
asbestos-containing floor tile in NJ?
DOH requires that contractors follow the Resilient Floor Covering
Institute's "Recommended Work Practices for the Removal
of Resilient Floor Coverings" when removing vinyl asbestos
floor tile. To find out more information regarding the Department's
requirements, you can go to the Compliance
Assistance Project page
or refer to the Indoor Environments Contacts page for information on how to contact the DOH.
have asbestos-containing siding, what should I do with it?
siding was commonly used as a building material. Asbestos siding
is durable and generally not as hazardous as asbestos pipe or boiler
insulation. Although some contractors insist on removing the
siding before replacing it, there is no State requirement that the
siding be removed before new siding is installed on the house. As
an alternative, you can either paint or side over it. If you
side over it, the new siding should be screwed in to avoid breakage
of the asbestos-containing siding. Should renovations require
the disturbance of asbestos siding, precautions should be taken to
ensure that there are no fibers released during the removal (see
the next question).
Q. What
is the best way to remove asbestos-containing siding?
If it becomes necessary to remove the siding, it is recommended that it be
removed with minimal breakage. To do this it should not be
hammered, sawn, or dropped. Siding should be removed in whole pieces
and then carried or lowered to the disposal area (instead of letting
it drop to the ground). Siding will most likely break where
it is fastened to the building, these areas should be moistened
with water before attempting to remove the fasteners. Often
a type of pliers, called "lineman's pliers" can
be used to cut off the heads of the nails. Fasteners may also
be cut by inserting a reciprocating saw behind the shingle and carefully
cutting it without damaging the shingle. The ground underneath
the work area should be protected with heavy plastic (>= 6mil)
in order to catch any debris that might inadvertently fall. Debris
should be carefully removed from the plastic at the end of every
workday. In NJ it is not required that a NJ licensed asbestos contractor
remove this type of material. The only exception is if the
building is to be demolished. For more information on this subject, please refer to the Indoor Environments Contacts page for information on how to contact the DOH.
Q. How
do I dispose of asbestos-containing siding?
you have questions regarding the disposal of the siding once it is
removed, please refer to the Indoor Environments Contacts page for information on how to contact the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
in Brakes and Clutches
Q. Do
brakes and clutches still contain asbestos?
most modern vehicles use asbestos-free parts, asbestos could still
be present in brakes, clutches and gaskets of many older or imported
vehicles. Asbestos is still widely used in some gaskets particularly
where heat can be a problem (such as in engine heads and vehicle exhaust
who works with brakes, clutches or replaces gaskets knows dust is
always present. The dust from the normal wear and tear on brakes
and clutches, which is generated when gaskets are removed, can be
a serious health hazard if it contains asbestos fibers. If they become
airborne, asbestos fibers (which are too small to be seen)
can linger around long after the job has been finished. These
fibers can be breathed into the lungs by anyone in the workplace.
a business may fit non-asbestos parts to vehicles, it cannot be sure
that the parts removed from customers' vehicles do not contain asbestos.
Common sense and good practice dictates that you play it safe by
treating all brake linings, brake pads and gaskets as though they
contain asbestos.
Q. How
do I protect myself when I work on brakes and clutches?
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) recommend that where asbestos exposures cannot
be eliminated, it must be controlled to the lowest level possible. Effective
containment and safe work practices are the best ways to control
asbestos-containing dust generated from brakes and clutches. Following
are some suggestions to help control asbestos-containing dust:
more information on
this subject, visit
the CDC website.
in NJ Schools
Q. I'm
afraid that there might be asbestos in my child's school,
how can I find out about it?
schools are required to maintain asbestos management plans for each
of its buildings. These plans are required to include the type
and location of any asbestos in the building, regular updates on
the condition of the asbestos, and, if applicable, when it was abated
(removed). You should contact the Board office and request
to see the plan for the school you are concerned about. If
you are unable to view these plans, please refer to the Indoor Environments Contacts page for information on how to contact the DOH for assistance.
Q. There
are renovations going on at my child's school and I'm concerned
they might be disturbing asbestos, what can I do about it?
Please refer to the Indoor
Environments Contacts page for information on how to contact the DOH for assistance.
Q. I'm
a teacher and there are renovations going on at the school I work
in. I'm concerned they might be disturbing asbestos, what can I
do about it?
is covered by the Public
Employee Safety and Health Program (PEOSH) . Please refer to the Indoor Environments Contacts page for information on how to contact the PEOSH Program for assistance.
for Asbestos
Q. How can I find out if I have asbestos in my home or not?
It is recommended that you hire a professional asbestos inspector certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to conduct an inspection and take samples of any suspect asbestos-containing material. If you can't afford to hire an inspector, you can contact an accredited laboratory to find out how much it would cost to analyze a sample and how they prefer it to be submitted.
Q. What types of testing methods are available?
There are a number of recognized testing methods for asbestos. Samples are typically analyzed by three main methods: Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM). Not all techniques can be used for all sample types. Below is a description of each:
PLM - Typically fast and inexpensive; can distinguish asbestos fibers from other fibers such as fiberglass and cellulose; most common procedure for bulk samples; TEM recommended for accurate determination for samples such as floor tiles.
TEM - More expensive; state-of-the-science; magnification of at least 25,000X; accurately identifies fibers which PLM and PCM cannot confidently identify as asbestos or non-asbestos; recommended for dust wipe samples so that asbestos fibers are accurately identified; can be used for both bulk and air samples
PCM - Typically fast and inexpensive; cannot identify asbestos directly; for lower detection limits or confirmation of asbestos, TEM is recommended; common analytical technique used for analysis of air samples
Following is a chart indicating the type of sample and appropriate testing methodologies for that sample:
Sample Type
Method of Analysis
Bulk Sample
Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM)
Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)
Surface/Wipe Sample
Air Sample
Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM)
Q. How
do I know for sure whether or not something contains asbestos?
the insulation is labeled as asbestos you cannot tell if it is asbestos-containing
by merely examining it. To determine the presence of asbestos, a sample
of the material must be analyzed by a laboratory that is accredited
for analyzing asbestos. We recommend using a laboratory accredited
by one of these two following organizations:
Q. What
is the proper way to take an asbestos sample so that it doesn't
contaminate the area?
recommend that a professional take the sample, however, homeowners/building
occupants should be informed about the proper procedures to make
sure the area isn't contaminated during the sampling process. Following
are the steps that should be taken:
to Do if You Have Asbestos
Q. How
can I protect my health?
Q. Do
I have to remove asbestos if I have it?
are no state or federal laws that specifically require you to remove
asbestos in your home just for the sake of getting rid of it. Most
of the time, asbestos in the home is not hazardous. The most
common home construction materials which contain asbestos, are floor
tiles, roofing and siding. These materials are very strong and don't
readily crumble or release asbestos fibers unless they are subjected
to strong forces. Occasionally, other materials, such as asbestos
pipe insulation, boiler lagging, asbestos-containing thermal insulation (such
as batt or blown-in insulation), were used in home construction.
If you determine that you have this type of material, through inspection
and analysis by a qualified professional, you should seek the help
of a consultant to aid you in determining what you need to do to
remedy your situation. If you never disturb these materials, you
may be able to leave them alone. However, if you know that a needed
repair or renovation will disturb the material, you may want to start
planning with your consultant to abate the asbestos before the renovations
Q. I've
heard that vermiculite might contain asbestos, is that true?
is a naturally occurring mineral which may contain asbestos. The
uses of vermiculite vary. It has been used in potting soil
for aeration purposes as well as in attics for insulation. The
US Environmental Protection Agency has a considerable amount of information
on their website regarding this topic. Click on the following
links for more information:
Q. What
can I do to make sure my asbestos doesn't become dangerous?
you suspect or know that there is asbestos in your home, periodically
check it for breakage, tears, abrasions, or water damage. If you discover
slightly damaged material, limit access to the area and do not touch
or disturb it. If the asbestos material is more than slightly
damaged, or if you are going to make changes in your home that might
disturb it, professional
repair or removal is needed.
Q. Can
I remove the asbestos in my home myself?
there are no regulations that forbid a homeowner from removing asbestos
in their own home themselves, but we strongly advise against it for
a number of reasons:
requires all contractors who abate asbestos-containing materials,
to have a NJ Department of Labor and Workplace Development (DOLWD)
license. In addition, all of the contractor's employees (who conduct
the abatement) must possess either a DOLWD worker or supervisor permit.
For information on how to contact the DOLWD to request a list of contractors or check to see of a contractor is licensed, please refer to the Indoor Environments Contacts page
Please Note: The
only exception to licensing requirements for the removal of asbestos containing
materials is if the contractor has acquired an exemption for certain
types of non-friable
asbestos materials such as floor tile. For more
information regarding exemption requirements, you should contact
the Compliance
Assistance Project within Indoor Environments Program. For more information on how to contact this project, please refer to the Indoor Environments Contacts.
Q. What
can I do to make sure the contractor I hire is competent?
be sure you are hiring a contractor who will do a safe and satisfactory
job, you may want to do the following:
Q. What steps take place during an asbestos abatement?
Following are the primary steps of an asbestos abatement project:
Q. Where
can asbestos-containing waste be disposed of?
transportation and disposal of asbestos-containing waste in NJ is
regulated by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). For
more information contact the DEP.
Q. Who regulates Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM)?
Regulatory Agencies:
The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is responsible
for developing and enforcing regulations
necessary to protect the general public from exposure to airborne
contaminants that are known to be hazardous to human health.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA) is responsible
for the health and safety
of workers who may be exposed to asbestos
in their work place, or in connection to their
State Regulatory Agencies:
Department of Health
NJ Department of Health (DOH) is the lead agency
for the asbestos and
environmental health information in NJ.
The Indoor
Environments Program administers the Asbestos
Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA),
provides site audits
and a Quality Assurance/Quality
Control program for asbestos abatement
in schools. The DOH also provides training
and accreditation for
asbestos training providers
and conducts studies to evaluate asbestos abatement
and management methods.
The Public
Employee Safety and Health Program regulates
asbestos exposures among public employees.
of Environmental Protection
The NJ
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regulates,
the management, transportation and
disposal of ACM. In concert with county health
departments, the DEP investigates
reports of
unregistered transporters,
illegal disposal and oversees the
review of the
10-day notification submissions.
of Community Affairs
NJ Department of Community Affairs (DCA), regulates asbestos remediation
in schools and buildings
in which public employees are located and regulates the air monitoring
firms for asbestos
abatement projects. To find out who to contact the DCA, please refer to the Indoor Environments Contacts page.
of Labor and Workplace Development
NJ Department of Labor and Workplace Development (DOLWD) licenses
abatement contractors,
permits abatement workers and supervisors, and investigates
complaints of improper
abatements in private homes and commercial
buildings. For more information on how to contact the DOLWD, please refer to the Indoor Environments Contacts page.
Q. What are the US Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA's) regulations governing asbestos?
1979, under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA began an
asbestos technical assistance
program for building owners, environmental groups, contractors and
industry. In
May 1982, EPA issued the first regulation intended to control asbestos
in schools under the
authority of TSCA; this regulation was known as the "Asbestos-in-Schools
Rule". Starting
in 1985, loans and grants have been given each year to aid Local
Education Agencies
(LEAs) in conducting asbestos abatement
projects under the Asbestos School Hazard
Abatement Act (ASHAA).
1986, the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA; Asbestos-Containing
Materials in Schools,
40 CFR Part 763, Subpart E) was signed into law as Title II of TSCA. AHERA
is more inclusive
than the May 1982 Asbestos-in-Schools Rule. AHERA requires
Local Education Authorities
(LEAs) to hire an accredited individual to inspect their schools
for Asbestos Containing Building Materials (ACBM) and prepare
asbestos management plans
which recommend the
best way to reduce the asbestos hazard. Once all required approvals
have been granted and the
notification requirements have been met, the plan is implemented. AHERA
also requires that abatement
planner/project, workers and supervisors
also be accredited. Contractors who improperly
remove asbestos from schools
can be liable under both AHERA and the National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP). For more information on Asbestos in NJ
Schools you can contact the
Indoor Environments Program.
Clean Air Act (CAA) of 1970 requires EPA to develop and enforce regulations
to protect the general
requires the EPA to develop and enforce regulations to protect the
general public from exposure
to airborne contaminants that are known to be hazardous to human
health. In accordance
with Section 112 of the CAA, EPA established the National Emission
Standards for Hazardous
Air Pollutants (NESHAP). Asbestos was one of the first hazardous
air pollutants regulated
under Section 112. On March 31, 1971, the EPA identified asbestos
as a hazardous pollutant,
and on April 6, 1973, EPA promulgated the Asbestos NESHAP in 40 CFR
Part 61, Subpart M.
In short, Asbestos NESHAPs is intended to
minimize the release of asbestos fibers during activities involving
the handling of asbestos. Accordingly, it specifies removal
of asbestos and work practices to be followed prior to renovations
and demolitions of buildings which contain a certain threshold
amount of friable asbestos. Most
often, NESHAPs requires action to be taken by the person
who owns, leases, operates, controls or supervises the facility
being demolished or renovated. The regulation requires
owners and operators subject to NESHAPs to notify delegated
State and local agencies and/or their EPA Regional Offices before
demolition or renovation activities begin. Waste
handling and disposal are also regulated by NESHAPs.
Ban and Phase-out Rule:
1989, EPA published the "Asbestos: Manufacture, Importation,
Processing, and Distribution in Commerce Prohibitions; Final Rule" (40
CFR Part 763, Subpart I). The rule would have eventually banned
about 94 percent of the asbestos used in the US (based on 1985 estimates). However,
in 1991, the US Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit, vacated and remanded
the majority of the rule. Currently, the manufacture, importation,
processing and distribution of most asbestos-containing products
is still legal. For more information, go to the next section entitled "Overturning of Asbestos Ban".
of Asbestos Ban
Q. Wasn't the use and manufacture of asbestos banned?
1989, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published the "Asbestos:
Manufacture, Importation, Processing, and Distribution in Commerce
Prohibitions; Final Rule" (40 CFR Part 763, Subpart I). The
rule would have eventually banned about 94 percent of the asbestos
used in the US (based on 1985 estimates). However, in 1991,
the US Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit, vacated and remanded the
majority of the rule. Currently, the manufacture, importation,
processing and distribution of most asbestos-containing products
is still legal. To learn more about the overturning of the asbestos ban, go to EPA's website.
Q. Why
did the courts overturn the ban on asbestos?
comprehensive, 57-page opinion written by Judge Jerry E. Smith, states
that the Court "conclude(d) that EPA has presented insufficient
evidence to justify its asbestos ban." The Court stated that
its conclusion was based on "the failure of EPA to consider
all necessary evidence" and "to give adequate weight to
statutory language requiring it to promulgate the least burdensome,
reasonable regulation required to protect the environment adequately."
The Court found EPA's
support for a ban under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) deficient
in several major ways:
Q. Does this overturn of the ban on asbestos mean that
there are no restrictions on the use of asbestos in the U.S.?
the court did uphold those portions of EPA's rule that banned,
as of 1990, the new manufacture of asbestos-containing products that
were no longer being manufactured in 1989.
Training, Licensing and Permitting in NJ
Q. What types of state licenses/permits/certifications are required to do asbestos-related work in NJ?
New Jersey, all asbestos abatement Supervisors,
and Workers must
have NJ asbestos permits and their employers must
possess an asbestos Contractor's license
in order to perform asbestos-related work. The NJ Department of Labor
and Workforce Development (DOLWD) issues all licenses and permits,
however the NJ Department of Health (DOH) oversees
the training.
Monitoring firms who perform clearance monitoring on any building subject to the NJ Department of Community Affairs' (DCA) Subchapter 8 must be licensed as an Asbestos Safety Control Monitoring (ASCM) firm. Employees of the ASCM firms, called Asbestos Safety Technicians (ASTs), must also be licensed.
For information on how to contact the DOH, DOLWD, or the DCA, please refer to the Indoor Environments Contacts page.
Q. Does NJ have reciprocity with any other states?
there is reciprocity for workers and supervisors who have currently
valid permits from another state, which has been authorized
by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to
administer a state asbestos training and certification program. Applicants
must complete an Application
for Reciprocal Asbestos Accreditation [pdf 44k] and submit it to the DOH for review.
Once that application is approved, the applicant must pass NJ's
third party state examination. Once the applicant has passed
the NJ examination, they may then apply to the NJ Department of Labor
and Workplace Development (DOLWD) for a permit.
For information on how to contact the DOH or the DOLWD, please refer to the Indoor Environments Contacts page.
Q. Are there requirements for asbestos inspectors, management planners, and project
designers to be licensed by NJ?
New Jersey has
no regulations that require state certification for these disciplines. If
an individual has acquired AHERA/EPA accredited certification in these disciplines
from another US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) authorized
state, you are qualified to do this type of work in New Jersey. Proof
of these certifications must be made available upon request.
Q. Where can I get more information on asbestos?
For more information, please refer to the Indoor Environments Contacts page or go to the related asbestos links page.

Making amends; responsibilities
Date posted: May 3, 2013
Making mistakes is forgivable. Hopefully we have all made enough of them to learn valuable lessons. Being accountable for our mistakes is the difficult part for any of us.
As a person who voted to elect into the office of city council for Sheridan, I have been hurt by the behavior of councilwoman, Shelleen Smith. My vote was based on her representing me in my best interest while in the position of a City Council member.
My trust at the time was based on my decision that she was the best-qualified person to make decisions that represent me.
I hoped that these decisions would be based on making the right choices that would better the city of Sheridan, the state of Wyoming and the U.S.
When a person elected to the position of authority focuses on their own personal ambitions and agendas at the exclusion of all others, it is time they step down.
Legally accepting responsibility for our behavior is how we stay a civilized society.
It is why we vote for leadership, pay taxes and make charitable contributions. Making amends is how we grade our behavior. Ms. Smith, do what is best for those that voted for you.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Amanda Kessel scored twice, and the Gophers breezed by Boston University 6-3 on Sunday to finish the first perfect season in the 13-year history of NCAA women's hockey.
Mira Jalosuo, Hannah Brandt, Milica McMillen and Rachel Ramsey also scored for the Gophers (41-0), who won their second straight national championship -- and fourth overall -- and stretched their record winning streak to 49 games. Their last loss was to North Dakota on Feb. 17, 2012, more than 13 months ago.
Sarah Lefort, Marie-Philip Poulin and Jenelle Kohanchuk had goals for the Terriers (28-6-3), whose 10-game winning streak ended. They also lost in the title game in 2011.
Three Western Collegiate Hockey Association teams have won all 13 championships. Minnesota Duluth has five and Wisconsin has four.

OXFORD, Iowa - It's a family reunion that almost wasn't. An Iowa City man recently brought home the ashes of a long lost relative that spent decades in a storage room on the other side of the country.
About a month and a half ago Bobby Jett was emailed by a woman who had looked at his profile on Ancestry.com. She said she was trying to unite people with long forgotten ancestors across the country, and knew the location of Henry Wagner, a distant relative of Jett's.
"He's actually the husband of my aunt, of his great grand-uncle," said Jett.
The woman said Wagner's cremains were in something called the "Library of Dust", a storage room at the Oregon State Hospital which held the ashes of approximately 3,600 people. Many were former patients of the mental hospital who died between 1914 and the '70s.
Wagner was one of them. When he passed in 1938 no one claimed his body. Per hospital policy, Wagner's body was cremated, sealed inside a copper canister and shelved.
"Mental illness in that time was something everyone wanted to distance themselves from. They did not want to talk about it. If a family had it, they were often times just written out of their history," said Jett.
That's no longer the case for Wagner. Jett agreed to take possession of the ashes, and placed them at the Oxford Cemetery next to the grave of Wagner's parents.
"I feel so at peace," said Jett.
The "Library of Dust" was discovered in 2004. Since then it has been moved to a better facility, which still holds about 3,500 unclaimed remains. You can check the database of names here: http://www.oregon.gov/oha/amh/osh/pages/cremains.aspx

Century farmers in Douglas County
August 16, 2012 at 7:42 am in Alexandria Echo Press
In September of 1910, a humble family farm was purchased by Rudolph Jobe, where he cultivated corn, oats and hay.
Now, more than 100 years later, his grandson, Paul Jobe, still owns and operates this very farm, located just south of Alexandria. Continue Reading

Interview – Darren Henderson
Darren Hendersons recent work is an explosive menagerie revolving around the most enigmatic of all birds of prey, yet, unlike the darkened nights in which owls usually dwell, Henderson has managed to illuminate his subjects, not only by their sheer numbers, but by colourful skill of hand and witty presentation.
In his recent solo exhibition "Get Lost Find Something", at Gorker Gallery, Henderson presents over 300 individual paintings, arranged as a hung mosaic of the globe. This ambitious display of colour and muse seems to have payed off for Henderson, with the success of the show placing him firmly on any urban aficionados watch list.
Invurt had the chance to pick Hendersons brain recently, and find out where this plethora of winged messengers sprung from …

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 24, 2014
Collateral as we knew it, is dead. It was created in silos by product marketing, sales enablement, recruitment or customer support professionals in one-off's or as part of a launch.
Often the result of the feverish efforts of a few bright people rushing to reach a deadline, and once born, it died. According to analyst firm Sirius Decisions, 70% of content created by marketing is never used by salespeople.
What will replace old style collateral?
In this eBook we explain and illustrate:
1. How to create and structure component based value messaging aligned with buyer needs,
2. How to adapt content components to create website content, brand messaging, sales-ready messaging and customer-service conversations,
3. How to deliver the right content at the right time to create competitive advantage.

Respond to Review of Brookland Cafe
by cookiem
Review: When you walk in, you see a small space with a large, well-stocked bar and a bunch of high tables with colorful and comfortable seats/ stools. The atmosphere is very relaxed. Pretty easy to find parking, it's not in the "main drag" of the Brookland area, and if Metro is your transportation, pretty easy to get there, too. There are about half-a-dozen choices for vegan entrees: veggie wrap, chikn tenders (jerk or regular), chikn sandwich, chikn curry with cabbage, chikn salad sandwich, bbq chikn sandwich, fish sandwich and a shrimp basket. You can choose a salad, as well, and add vegan shrimp or chikn. The sides are vegan friendly if you order fries, mixed veggies, spinach, cole slaw or potato salad. What I really like about this place is they are really nice and attentive, and they know how to fry food. I hate when food is fried at the wrong temperature, and then it is just greasy. The food here was delivered perfectly, at a superb temperature with perfect crispiness. I ate my whole sandwich and sweet potato fries, and barely blinked! I didn't even mean to do that! This is my go-to place now for vegan chikn sandwiches and sweet potato fries. Awesome. Except… if you're concerned for gluten/ wheat/ fake meat/ fried food/ calories… this is not a good place for you.

New Features on Magnesium Alloys
Edited by Waldemar Alfredo Monteiro, ISBN 978-953-51-0668-5, 186 pages, Publisher: InTech, Chapters published July 11, 2012 under CC BY 3.0 license
Magnesium alloys have been attractive to designers due to their low density (two thirds that of aluminium), the sixth most abundant on earth, is ductile and the most machinable of all the metals. This has been a major factor in the widespread use of magnesium alloy castings and wrought products, powder metallurgy components, sacrificial anodes for the protection of other metals, tools. The present book, "New Features on Magnesium Alloys", gives us an overview in some special areas of magnesium alloys concerning technological applications and eco-friendly requirements. Each chapter brings us a new facet relating to the magnesium alloy application: magnesium alloys quasicrystals used to magnesium alloys reinforcement; rare earth metals as alloying components in magnesium implants for orthopaedic applications; magnesium alloys surface treatment by applying physical vapor deposition processes; casting magnesium alloys subjected to laser treatment; ductility enhancement on special magnesium alloys; welding and joining processing of magnesium alloys; transport application of magnesium and its alloys.
- Chapter 1 Mg-Based Quasicrystals
- Chapter 2 Investigation of the Structure and Properties of PVD and PACVD-Coated Magnesium Die Cast Alloys
- Chapter 3 Technology Foresight Results Concerning Laser Surface Treatment of Casting Magnesium Alloys
- Chapter 4 Rare Earth Metals as Alloying Components in Magnesium Implants for Orthopaedic Applications
- Chapter 5 Thermal Stability and Mechanical Properties of Extruded Mg-Zn-Y Alloys with a Long-Period Stacking Order Phase and Plastic Deformation
- Chapter 6 Welding of Magnesium Alloys

Vermont's Northeast Kingdom | Change Coming to the Kingdom
- Login to add to Favorites
- 1 Comment
Vermont's Northeast Kingdom has long been known for its isolated beauty and the deep snows of Jay Peak. Now millions of dollars are pouring into small towns from foreign investors. What that means for the Kingdom is anyone's guess—except that it will never be the same.
Cavan Meese parked the golf cart in the middle of the airport runway, leaned back in the seat, extracted a pouch of American Spirit tobacco, and commenced to hand-roll a cigarette with the confident dexterity born of experience. "Just keep an eye up, okay?" he said as he rolled, and I wasn't sure whether he was joking, or whether the risk of incoming aircraft really was sufficient to warrant visual monitoring. I thought the former more likely, but when you're sitting in a golf cart parked in the middle of a runway and your driver suggests that you "keep an eye up," you darned well better keep an eye up.
Not that danger felt imminent. The runway upon which Meese had parked the cart was a vacant, windswept thing, laid across a vacant, windswept field on the outskirts of the small town of Newport, Vermont, so close to the Canadian border that a Quebecer with a keen nose could probably catch a whiff of the smoke rising from my companion's cigarette. The airport itself was a modest affair; located across the road from a dairy farm, it consisted of two runways, a row of boxy, metal-sided hangars, and a terminal that was perhaps 20 feet square. There was one plane in sight, a small two-seater parked near the terminal. A man was washing it by hand; he was the only other person in sight. A scant half-mile to the north lay the regional dump.
All of which is to say, it seemed to me a most unlikely spot to open a restaurant, which is exactly what Cavan Meese had done in one of the hangars at the runway's edge. Parker Pie Wings is what he'd called it, and its grand opening had begun only an hour before we climbed into the golf cart. The restaurant was an informal pizza-and-beer joint modeled after the Parker Pie Company, his informal pizza-and-beer venture a dozen miles to the south, in the sleepy hamlet of West Glover. As I was learning, Cavan Meese was an informal pizza-and-beer sort of guy.
"A lot of smart people who are looking after my best interests are asking me, 'Do you really think that airport has enough traffic to support a restaurant?'" he told me as we sat on the vacant runway. It was quiet and cool in that way early August can be, a subtle foreshadowing of the months to come. "And I say to them, 'No, not in the least.'" He chuckled in the rueful manner of a man who knows the joke may yet prove to be on him. He took a drag from his cigarette and sent a stream of smoke into the air. "Nope. Not in the least."
Ah, but Cavan Meese is being too modest, because he knows that the quiet airport just outside Newport, Vermont, where one can currently park a golf cart in the middle of a runway and casually roll a cigarette without fear of being landed upon by an airplane or so much as interrupted by another living soul, is about to get a whole lot less quiet. Cavan Meese knows that sometime over the next year or so, construction crews will arrive. He knows they will extend the runways to the 5,000-foot minimum necessary to accommodate most private jets; he knows they will construct a new terminal and new hangars. He knows that soon an aviation company will locate at the airport for the express purpose of building cutting-edge composite aircraft in a brand-new 50,000-square-foot facility. And he knows that all this activity will bring engineers and building crews. It will bring paving companies and airport personnel. It will bring bystanders and onlookers. Someday it may even bring passengers. All of these people, Cavan Meese knows, will at some point in their day become hungry. And when they look around, what will they see? Parker Pie Wings' big logo affixed to the side of a former aircraft hangar—that's what they'll see.
"Everybody likes pizza," he tells me, and he chuckles again, but this time, not ruefully. Even as he says it, I can feel a grumbling in my stomach begin.
The expansion of Newport State Airport, ambitious as it sounds, is but a slice of the pie known as the Northeast Kingdom Development Initiative. The project is so ambitious, so outsized and fantastical, so multifaceted, and so subject to the whims of money and fancy that simply explaining it feels almost burdensome. Oh, sure, the broad strokes are easy enough: Over the next few years, if the plan unfolds as predicted, more than $600 million will flow into one of New England's poorest regions. The money will be splashed across a multitude of enterprises, including (but not limited to) a biomedical facility and "research park," the aforementioned airport expansion and aviation manufacturing facility, a waterfront marina and conference center, a reconstructed city block with retail and office space and short- to medium-term rentals, and an expanded ski resort. In total, the initiative is expected to create approximately 10,000 jobs in a region where the labor force is estimated at 30,750 people.
To understand how such a thing could come about in a rural area that has long suffered from high unemployment, low wages, and a general sense of chronic economic malaise, you need to understand a bit about a program known as the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa. EB-5 is a federal program that removes pretty much every barrier to U.S. citizenship except one: money. Under the basic EB-5 program, would-be U.S. citizens can earn a green card simply by investing $1 million in a new commercial enterprise that leads to the creation of 10 or more jobs.

Great American Smokeout Nov. 15 is day to quit or plan to quit smoking
(Nov. 14, 2012) -- The American Cancer Society will mark the 37th Great American Smokeout on Thursday, Nov. 15 by encouraging smokers to use the day to make a plan for how to quit smoking or to make an effort not to smoke for that day. By quitting -- even for one day -- smokers will take an important step toward a healthier life -- one that can lead to reducing cancer risk.
>> Learn more about smoking and tobacco cessation at the Great American Smokeout information tables Nov. 15 at the University Center paseo on the Main Campus.
UTSA is supportive of employees interested in quitting smoking and provides resources and information to assist with these efforts. Benefits-eligible employees can take advantage of the UT Select Medical Health Plan Free Tobacco Cessation Professional Counseling Program. Guidance and support with licensed wellness coaches is available by calling 1-800-462-3275.
The Great American Smokeout also serves as a reminder of campus-wide discussions underway regarding UTSA becoming a tobacco-free university. This fall, President Ricardo Romo established the UTSA Tobacco-Free Campus Task Force comprised of students, faculty and staff from across the three campuses. The task force will develop recommendations on an appropriate plan and timeline for UTSA to become tobacco-free. The UTSA community is encouraged to contact the members of the task force and share ideas and suggestions regarding UTSA becoming a tobacco-free campus. The task force plans to submit its recommendations to President Romo in March 2013.
The task force members are:
- Jared Baker, Students in Housing and Residential Life
- Barbara Baran-Centeno, Human Resources
- Guadalupe Barrera, Education and Interpretation
- Kelsey Bratcher, Student Activities

About smoking and tobacco cessation
Tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the United States, yet about 43.8 million Americans still smoke cigarettes -- nearly one in every five adults. As of 2010, there also were 13.2 million cigar smokers in the United States and 2.2 million who smoke tobacco in pipes -- other dangerous and addictive forms of tobacco.
Quitting is hard, but you can increase your chance of success with help. The American Cancer Society can tell you about the steps you can take to quit smoking and provide anti-smoking programs, resources and support that can increase your chances of quitting successfully. To learn about the available tools, call 1-800-227-2345.

Watching was a British television sitcom, produced by Granada Television for the ITV network and broadcast for seven series and four specials between 1987 and 1993.
The series was written by Jim Hitchmough and starred Paul Bown and Emma Wray as mismatched couple Malcolm Stoneway and Brenda Wilson.
Quiet biker Malcolm, who lived with his domineering mother (played by Patsy Byrne), was accompanied on his birdwatching trips by loud scouser Brenda, who was forced to ride in his sidecar. The series followed their on/off relationship, during which Malcolm married Lucinda (played by Elizabeth Morton).
Brenda and Malcolm married each other in the final episode, Knotting, broadcast on 4 April 1993.
Originally, the series was produced by David Liddiment (later to become Director of Programming at ITV) and directed by Les Chatfield, a senior director at Granada. Chatfield directed all 56 episodes and took over producing duties from series 3 onwards. Liddiment became the series' executive producer.
Emma Wray sang the theme song, What Does He See in Me?, which was written by Charles Hart. Incidental music was written and composed by Richie Close.
A video featuring the first two episodes, Meeting and Wrestling was released by CastleVision in August 1993.
The complete first series, including the 1987 Christmas special (Seasoning), was released on DVD in February 2006. The complete second series was released in March 2008. Both releases are distributed by Network DVD.

Ecstasy Rave Parties Making Our College Freshmen Crazier Than Ever. As we've heard, our nation's college students are quite mentally unstable. In fact, the results of a new survey say our college freshmen are more stressed than ever before. Is it debt? Insecurity? Inferiority? Or is it...rave parties?
The latest survey of more than 200,000 incoming college freshmen came with some alarming findings: only 52% say their emotional health is "above average" (which is historically low, especially when you consider that these kids can't do math); 12% say they have a disability or "medical condition;" nearly 30% say they were "frequently overwhelmed" in their senior year of high school; and a record high, 73%, say that the chief reason to go to college is to increase one's earning power, which is a god damn ticking time bomb of disappointment if we ever heard one. All of this adds up to "the steepest one-year drop in emotional health ever recorded in the survey's 45 years."

The world of digital photography has made editing your own images much more common. You don't just have to settle for the first picture you take for booklet printing. Photoshop and other image enhancing software have now made it easy and fun to alter your photographs. And while you could spend hours learning about photo enhancement, I have narrowed it down to a few well-tested tricks for editing and preparing images for booklet printing. Use a camera with higher resolution. Enhancing images is not performing a miracle. You must have a decent picture to work with. Better yet, start out with a great picture and make it better. A 4 megapixel camera should be adequate for most printing needs. Keep in mind that the higher resolution image you get, the more space it will use. However, the quality of that image should be worth it. If you would like a great resource on how to use your camera to get great shots, take a look at Photography Techniques and Photoshop Tutorials. Focus your composition with smart cropping. Finding the perfect angle may not be necessary if you can crop your images well. Pull the focus of your photo where ever you want it by cutting off the appropriate amount of the background. The composition of your photo can make or break the images when booklet printing, so take your time and use the right techniques. For more detailed tips on cropping your images, an article such as Making Photos Look their Best will give you the help you need for professional editing. Enhance images with Photoshop. You will be surprised when you find out all of the options for enhancement that are available to you. You probably know that you can make your image black and white or sepia, but you may not have yet tried adding depth to your photo with fading techniques or or other special effects. For many tutorials on using Photoshop effects, Photoshop Tricks or a similar website will help you apply effects to your photos step-by-step. Prepare your images for the printer by saving your files properly. This step is vastly important for booklet printing, or any printing for that matter. Sending files to your printer incorrectly can cause very costly delays, so here are some tips for getting the files just right:

Creating Research Corpora for the Computational Study of Music: the case of the CompMusic Project
Xavier Serra
Music Technology Group, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona
A fundamental concern in music information research is the use of appropriate data sets, research corpora, from which to perform the needed data processing tasks. These corpora have to be suited for the specific research problems to be addressed and the design criteria with which to create them is a research task to which not much attention has been paid. In the CompMusic project we are studying several non-western art music traditions and a major effort has been the creation of the appropriate data collections with which to study and characterise the melodic and rhythmic aspects of these traditions. In this article we go over the criteria used to create these collections and we describe the specificities of each of the collections gathered.
Bio of presenter
Xavier Serra is Associate Professor of the Department of Information and Communication Technologies and Director of the Music Technology Group at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona. After a multidisciplinary academic education he obtained a PhD in Computer Music from Stanford University in 1989 with a dissertation on the spectral processing of musical sounds that is considered a key reference in the field. His research interests cover the understanding, modelling and generation of musical signals by computational means, with a balance between basic and applied research and approaches from both scientific/technological and humanistic/artistic disciplines. Dr. Serra is very active in promoting initiatives in the field of Sound and Music Computing at the local and international levels, being involved in the editorial board of a number of journals and conferences and giving lectures on current and future challenges of the field. He has recently been awarded an Advanced Grant of the European Research Council to carry out the project CompMusic aimed at promoting multicultural approaches in music computing research.

The Missouri Tigers softball team (8-2), coming off a 5-0 weekend at the 2010 NFCA Leadoff Classic, return home for the first time this season. Mizzou will play host to the Missouri Breast Cancer Awareness Tournament, welcoming four other schools from around the state for three days of action. The tournament kicks off a 16-game home stand for the Tigers, who are currently ranked No. 4 in the NFCA/USA Today poll and No. 3 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll.
Live stats and score updates will be provided for all Mizzou games at mutigers.com. Mizzou games will be broadcast live on Mizzou All-Access at mutigers.tv and via KCOU 88.1 FM.
Saint Louis enters the weekend with a 4-5 record on the season. After opening the season with four wins in five games at the Lion Classic in Hammond, La., the Bills dropped four straight at the Cardinal Classic in Louisville, Ky., including two against host and nationally-ranked Louisville. Offensively, senior Brittney Schmidt is currently hitting .400 with a slugging percentage of .760 on the season. She's hit one home run and racked up six doubles so far this year. In the circle, sophomore Hannah Huebbe boasts a 3-2 record in six appearances, posting a 4.44 ERA.
Missouri has dominated the series with SLU, winning 59 of their 61 meetings. Saint Louis' two lone wins both came in 2002, when they knocked off the Tigers in one game, 5-4, and another, 6-5. Last year, Mizzou beat the Billikens in all three matchups, winning by finals of 12-0, 7-2 and 4-3.
Missouri State comes into the tournament still looking for their first win of the 2010 season. The Bears, currently 0-7, dropped all three at the Stetson Lead-Off Classic in DeLand, Fla., and all four of their games at the Sleep Inn Classic, held in Denton, Texas. They've been outscored 33-14 in their seven games, and have been shutout three times. Junior Ashley Knehans is hitting .368 on the year, racking up seven hits in 19 at-bats. She has one home run, two doubles and three runs scored on the season. Though winless, senior Lauren McGinley has an impressive 2.49 ERA this year. In three starts, McGinley has thrown two complete games.
The Bears are 13-28 all-time against Mizzou, with their last win coming by a 9-7 final in 2006. Last year, the Tigers won their matchup at this very tournament, 5-0.
SEMO comes into the tournament as Mizzou's only opponent with a winning record, currently standing at 4-3 on the young season. The Redhawks opened their season with an 11-3 road victory over Jackson State, and then split their two games at the ULM Mardi Gras Tournament, losing to host Louisiana-Monroe, 9-6, but knocking off in-state rival UMKC, 6-4. Two weekends ago, the Hawks went 2-2 at the Blues City Classic in Memphis, Tenn., losing to McNeese State and Appalachian State, but beating IPFW and Indiana State. Sophomore Renee Kertz enters the tournament as the team's top hitter, batting .421 in the team's seven games. She's put together eight hits on the year, including two doubles, while driving home five. On the mound, junior Whitney Dupuis and sophomore Stefanie Barnes have logged two wins apiece this year.
SEMO has beaten Missouri just three times in their previous 23 matchups, with their most recent win coming by a 5-0 score in 2000. The Redhawks also won in 1998, beating Mizzou 4-0, and even knocked off Missouri's 1994 WCWS squad in the regular season, beating the Tigers 6-5. Last year in this tournament, the Tigers defeated SEMO by an 8-0 final.
UMKC sits at 2-10 on the year as they enter the tournament. Their only wins this season have come against Maine in the Texas Tech Tournament in Lubbock, Texas, and against Jackson State at the ULM Mardi Gras Tournament. They've been outscored 83-42 in their twelve games. Sophomore Kaelene Curry ignites the offensive attack, as she's posted a .419 batting average this year, while slugging .548 and driving in nine runs. She also gets on base at a .548 clip.
UMKC has managed to knock off Missouri just once in their 47 meetings. The lone Kangaroo victory came in 1997, when UMKC beat Mizzou, 7-5. At last year's Missouri Breast Cancer Awareness Tournament, the Tigers run-ruled UMKC, 9-0, in six innings.
Following this weekend's tournament, Missouri will host Northern Iowa for a mid-week game next Wednesday, March 10, beginning at 3 p.m. CT. Next weekend, the Tigers will host their second of three consecutive tournaments, welcoming New Mexico, Bradley, San Diego State, Illinois and Illinois State for the Children's Hospital Invitational.
Missouri's 5-0 weekend at the 2010 NFCA Leadoff Classic helped move the Tigers up the rankings once again. Entering the weekend at No. 6 in the NFCA/USA Today and tied for No. 4 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll, Mizzou now ranks in at No. 4 in the NFCA, and No. 3 in the ESPN.com polls. Washington and Arizona remain 1-2 both rankings, while Florida sits at No. 3, just 14 points ahead of Missouri, in the NFCA rankings.
Junior Rhea Taylor stole her 100th career base at the NFCA Leadoff Classic, which means she's just 10 stolen bases away from tying the all-time record at Missouri. Julie Link's 110 stolen bases are the most in Mizzou history. Link played for the Tigers from 1986-89. Also, with Taylor's next run scored, she'll move into a tie for seventh all-time at Mizzou.
For her efforts at the Leadoff Classic last weekend, sophomore pitcher Chelsea Thomas was named the NFCA Leadoff Classic Most Valuable Pitcher and the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week. This is the first time this season that a Tiger softball player has won a Big 12 weekly award, and is the second career honor for Thomas. Thomas went 3-0 on the weekend, which includes wins against No. 4 Michigan and No. 18 UL-Lafayette. The right-hander struck out 26 batters and walked just one on her way to a tournament ERA of 2.67. She threw two complete games over the weekend, beating Michigan 2-1 in eight innings and ULL 11-6. She also earned the win against Radford, as she pitched six innings of relief while fanning seven and walking none. Thomas' lone walk of the tournament came in the second inning against Michigan. Since then, she has posted 19 straight walkless innings.
Missouri was just one of two teams to go undefeated at the NFCA Leadoff Classic, posting a 5-0 record. Of the 23 teams, only Mizzou and Illinois finished 5-0, with Illinois claiming the championship due to a greater run-differential. In game one, Missouri rode sophomore Chelsea Thomas to a 2-1 victory over then-No. 4 Michigan in eight innings. Later that night, the Tigers beat Virginia Tech by a 9-4 final. The following day, Mizzou went up against two top-25 teams, beating both with come-from-behind victory. In game one against Louisiana-Lafayette, the Tigers were down 4-3 until junior Rhea Taylor roped a grand slam over the right field wall to put the Tigers ahead for good. Missouri would go on to win 11-6. The following game, Massachusetts held a slim 1-0 lead over MU, but the Tigers scored twice in the bottom of the fifth and senior Jana Hainey shut down the Minutewomen to earn the save. On the final day of action, Mizzou bested an upset-minded Radford squad, 7-6, in 10 innings. Junior Abby Vock connected on her first hit of the season, a walk-off single up the middle to score the winning run for Mizzou.

onions, chopped
1 tablespoon

1 teaspoon

1 cup
1 pound
calves' livers
1 tablespoon
chopped fresh parsley
4 thick slices
French bread, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/8 cup
olive oil
Thank you, Pippy for this great recipe. I admit, I didn't have fresh parsley,and I added green pepper, but it was fabulous. I made it in honor of a guest's request, not because I'm a fan, but that has changed. Maybe it was the fact that I used excellent sherry? Anyway, it was delicious. And after dinner, it looked less appetizing as a leftover, so I whirled it up and now I enjoy a wonderful pate. Thanks again!
Tyhis is fabulous!!! Doesn't even taste like liver. Thyme seems to be the key flavor to make this out standing!
5 Ratings
I am not a great fan of liver, but my wife loves it, so for her I decided to give it a try. I followed the recipe exactly, except that I did not have French bread so used some Sour Dough that I had on hand, and it worked just fine.
I also did as Dr. Shaw , and turned the left-overs into a Pate for the wife, as she loves that also.
This is definately a keeper and will probably make it for the next family gathering just to turn it into the Pate just for the pre dinner appitizers.
Loved it! I have made this 3 times so far. I once substituted chicken broth for the sherry and wasn't nearly as good.
I thought I would try something new on my family. Needless to say that all 5 of us do not like liver. We ended up getting pizza instead.
