Miami Ranks in Top 25 U.S. Cities with the Most ENERGY STAR Buildings
Release Date: 03/14/2011
Contact Information: Dawn Harris-Young, (404) 562-8421, email@example.com
Third annual list shows dramatic growth, savings of energy efficient buildings
(ATLANTA – March 14, 2011) Today, the city of Miami has been listed as 1 of 25 cities with the greatest number of energy-efficient buildings that earned the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy Star certification in 2010.
Energy Star labeled buildings in Miami achieved significant reductions in their energy bills and greenhouse gas emissions. These buildings represent more than 19 million square feet and will save nearly $20 million annually in energy costs while preventing greenhouse gas emissions equal to the emissions of nearly 14,000 homes a year. Energy Star buildings and plants are America's energy all-stars – they save more, use less and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
EPA debuted its list of cities with the most Energy Star certified buildings in 2008. Los Angeles remains in first place for the third year; the District of Columbia and San Francisco hold second and third respectively for the second year; and Detroit and Sacramento are new to the top ten. New York City climbed five spots to claim fifth in the rankings and California boasts more cities on EPA's list than any other state in the country with a total of five.
Surpassing the growth of the past several years, in 2010 more than 6,200 commercial buildings earned the Energy Star, an increase of nearly 60 percent compared to 2009. Since EPA awarded the first Energy Star to a building in 1999, more than 12,600 buildings across America have earned the Energy Star as of the end of 2010.
Energy use in commercial buildings accounts for nearly 20 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions at a cost of more than $100 billion per year. Commercial buildings that earn the Energy Star must perform in the top 25 percent of buildings nationwide compared to similar buildings and be independently verified by a licensed professional engineer or registered architect each year. Energy Star certified buildings use 35 percent less energy and emit 35 percent less carbon dioxide than average buildings. Fourteen types of commercial buildings can earn the Energy Star, including office buildings, K-12 schools, and retail stores.

Just yesterday we were all excited about the "bootleg" version of the trailer for "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." In fact, we liked so much it didn't bother us that Standards & Practices wouldn't allow us to post it.
But today comes an official, studio-sanctioned cut of the trailer that's appropriate for all audiences, and really, the absence of the brief nudity and blood do nothing to detract from its impact. It's still got that raw, cold look, the kinetic camera work and that great cover of "The Immigrant Song" by Trent Reznor and Karen O.
U.S. & World
Our only complaint is the promo at the end directing us to DRAGONTATTOO.COM--imagine our dismay when we found that URL redirects to SonyPictures.com/movies, where you'll find nothing related to the film.
The cast is stacked--Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara, Stellan Skarsgard, Robin Wright, Max von Sydow, Christopher Plummer and Joely Richardson--Fincher's in his comfort zone, the soundtrack's in good hands... We can't wait for the "Feel Bad Movie of Christmas."
It'll be here Dec. 21.

Cathars (Cathari or Catharists), a religious sect of the 11th century of remote Balkan origin, representing a renewal of Manichaeism, which spread through northern Italy and southern France. Their belief was based on a dualistic conception of the world. The visible world is subject to evil, the devil; the invisible world is subject to God. Satan, with Moses as his tool, delayed the redemptive work of God (hence they rejected the legal books of the Old Testament) until it was carried through by Christ, who had only apparently assumed human nature: Since the soul is the divine part of man, it must be freed from matter to enter the kingdom of light. On this basis they rejected marriage, forbade the eating of meat, demanded complete chastity, and denied the resurrection. They were hostile to the external church. Baptism and communion had no meaning for them, and they rejected the adoration of images. In the place of the two sacraments they believed in the baptism of the spirit (consolamentum) through the laying on of hands, and strict moral demands (poverty, chastity, asceticism), which were certain to lead to blessedness unless some sin was committed afterward.
The perfecti, with their severely moral conduct, exerted great influence on the people and through their itinerant preaching won many believers (credentes), who did not, however, leave the Catholic Church.
In southern France, where the moral and cultural level of the Catholic clergy was particularly low, the movement became very powerful. About 1200 most of the princes and barons were credentes. In the cities and castles perfecti preached openly and built chapels and schools for boys and girls. The Catholic Church here led a merely tolerated existence. Since the church was unable to subdue these Cathars, here known as Albigenses (after Albi, a city in southern France where they were very numerous), with spiritual weapons, she organized a crusade against them and in a bloody war lasting 20 years finally succeeded in crushing the movement.
The Cathars in Spain, Italy, and Germany were wiped out by the Inquisition. Yet they did not disappear without leaving their traces behind. In 1215 the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation was made a dogma in order to oppose the dualism of the Cathars. The consolamentum led to the development of the sacrament of the extreme unction; and the moral rigor of the Cathars led to the begging monastic orders.
The Cathars cannot be considered forerunners of the Anabaptists. Though both groups rejected infant baptism, their motives were far apart. The Anabaptists based their doctrine on the Bible, the Cathars on the (essentially Persian and pagan) opposition between light and matter, which completely devalues everything earthly. Spiritual baptism brought redemption from the world, but if even a single sin was committed afterward, salvation was forfeited. In order to avoid committing any possible sin after receiving this baptism, many chose to die (by hunger). In the matter of the rejection of war and of killing likewise, the Anabaptists based their belief on the Biblical prohibition, whereas the Cathars' belief was founded on their un-Biblical (though deep) conception of sin as the inclination toward matter; hence the eating of meat, killing of animals and human beings, sexual relations, and the owning of property were equally serious sins. He who rids himself of these things is saved; the ascetic life is therefore the guarantee of eternal life. The Anabaptists also were distinguished for their purity of conduct, as their preference for the Sermon on the Mount indicates, but they conceived moral living as a natural conduct of the regenerated man who follows in the steps of Christ. There was an equally serious difference between the two groups in the idea of the church. In spite of the great attraction of the Cathar doctrines for the masses, they made a sharp distinction between the credentes and the perfecti, and in spite of their opposition to clerical domination, they developed a sort of hierarchy in the course of time. We even hear of a Cathar pope!
In summary, it may be said that precisely the points of doctrine that are apparently common to both Cathars and Anabaptists show most clearly the fundamental difference between them, the difference between Persian religiosity and Christianity. Nor are there any external connecting lines between them. Catharism of all branches was literally wiped out by fire and sword.

Wireless physiological monitoring system promises efficiency in dialysis
Taiwan university pioneers wireless patient monitoring in dialysis patients
Singapore: A wireless physiological monitoring system designed by the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) of National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), southern Taiwan, has proved to increase medical efficiency and safety for dialysis patients.
"Wireless physiological monitoring system for hemodialysis" was developed by NCKU BME Professor Tain-Song Chen. It helps dialysis centers monitor the physiological status of dialysis patients.
Besides providing warning signal during emergency in the hemodialysis process, the system also improves the safety level of the dialysis process because it allows one nurse to simultaneously monitor physiological parameters of 50 patients, thus helping to solve the problem of shortage of nursing staff, according to Dr Chen.
He explained that in the current dialysis process at dialysis centers, nurses and medical staff have to measure and record patients' blood pressure every 30 minutes in order to monitor their physiological status.
Usually, quite a number of dialysis patients would be receiving dialysis treatment at the same time. Traditional steps to measure blood pressure of dialysis patients include tying the cuff, inflating it, deflating it and recording blood pressure, a process that usually takes two to three minutes.

USU football: Utah State's Tyler Larsen named 'Center of Attention' on weekly Rimmington report
For the Deseret News
Utah State junior center Tyler Larsen has been named to the Centers of Attention list on the weekly report for the Rimmington Trophy Watch List. The Rimington Trophy is presented annually to the Most Outstanding Center in NCAA Division I-A College Football.
Larsen is one of four players to earn the honor for this week, joining P.J. Lonergan (LSU), Andrew Miller (Virginia Tech) and Jordan Rae (UCF).
Larsen was named to the Rimmington Trophy Watch List for the second year in a row in July. He is the first USU player to be put on the list twice. Larsen is one of three Western Athletic Conference centers on the list, joined by Idaho's Mike Marboe along with Stephen Warner of Louisiana Tech.
So far this season, Larsen has graded out of games at an average of 84.2 percent and 98.6 percent in covering assignments. He has averaged 5.6 knockdowns per game, with a career-high 10 at Colorado State.
A native of Salt Lake City (Jordan HS), Larsen has started 30 consecutive games at center and is a Phil Steele's College Football Preview Magazine's Preseason all-WAC first-team selection. In 2011, Larsen was a first-team all-conference selection by not only the WAC, but by Phil Steele's College Football Magazine as well as the BCS Busters and College Sports Madness. Larsen made all the blocking calls and assignments in helping clear the way for the 2011 USU offense that established school records for total offense (5,945 yards), rushing yards (3,675), total points (437) and total touchdowns (60). USU led the WAC and ranked sixth in FBS in rushing offense (282.7 ypg), along with ranking second in the WAC and 20th in FBS in total offense (457.3 ypg).
Utah State plays its third in-state opponent of the season this weekend as it travels to Provo to face BYU on Friday, Oct. 5 at 8:15 p.m., in a game that will be televised nationally on ESPN.
Doug Hoffman is the assistant athletic director for Utah State University Athletic Media Relations.

The Country Doctors
Meet three doctors who've given up city comforts to serve Native Hawaiians in some of the Islands' most remote areas.
(page 1 of 3)
Commuting between Oahu and Kalaupapa to treat Hansen's Disease patients sometimes requires innovation beyond Dr. Kalani Brady's medical expertise. The Honolulu physician flies to Molokai once a week. Yet inclement weather has prevented the plane from leaving the peninsula on three recent occasions. One of those evenings, he needed to return to Oahu for a meeting. So he borrowed a pair of tennis shoes from a patient with smaller feet, cut out the toes to avoid blisters, and hiked the grueling switchback trail in street clothes. At the end of the 1,700-foot climb, someone gave him a ride to the "topside" airport.
"These are challenges you don't find at Queen's," laughs Brady, a Harvard-educated internist and Native Hawaiian raised in Kailua. Even while fulfilling his many cultural and educational duties on Oahu, he gets paged two to four times per day regarding patients in Kalaupapa.
Physicians who work in underserved areas must be everything to everyone—often at all times of the day and night. They act as doctors, case managers, administrators. Sometimes they juggle clinical visits and emergency room crises simultaneously. Daily obligations include keeping children healthy and monitoring geriatric patients in long-term care, and possibly delivering a baby on a moment's notice. They can't worry about whether someone has insurance, yet must keep their facilities financially viable. And often they must deal with a disproportionate number of health problems facing the predominantly Native Hawaiian communities, all while mastering cultural nuances that demand a unique approach to treatment and management.
Though support for physicians practicing in rural areas remains less than ideal, their services alone have improved care. They've also lobbied for change. And it seems to be helping.
In October 2003, the University of Hawaii Board of Regents approved the first department of Native Hawaiian Health at the John A. Burns School of Medicine to provide leadership in education, research and clinical care; The Queen's Health Systems quickly stepped in with a $5 million grant over five years.
Brady, vice-chair of the new department, credits medical school leaders for recognizing the high incidence of disease and mortality rates among Native Hawaiians, who suffer more hypertension, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, kidney disease and certain types of cancers compared with national statistics.
One way to get physicians to stay in (or return to) Hawaii and practice in places like Kau or Hana is via the Native Hawaiian Health Scholarship program, which pays for healthcare training at any school in the country. Four years of financial support means doctors must live and work in an underserved area in Hawaii for the same number of years after training.
Another way to nurture potential healthcare professionals in rural communities is through the 30-year old Imi Hoola post baccalaureate program. The medical school accepts up to 10 disadvantaged premedical students annually, and educates them intensely for one year. Though many students are Native Hawaiian, the program is not race-based, says Brady. Anyone can apply. Successful completion results in automatic entrance into the highly competitive John A. Burns School of Medicine: Last year, a total of 1,373 students applied for 62 positions in the medical school.
Even when physicians are prepared to practice in rural communities, challenges await. "It's a real labor of love," says Tom Driskill, president and CEO of Hawaii Health Systems Corporation (HHSC), which operates 12 facilities on five islands.
Indeed, some doctors "take call" every other night, which can mean working 24 hours at a stretch. Frequently trained in family or internal medicine, they must become proficient in nearly every department, carefully determining when a patient must see a specialist on another island—often at great expense and inconvenience (doctors have been known to arrange and pay for travel, as well). Medicare, Medicaid or Quest supply most of the insurance. But in 2002 alone, HHSC recorded $12 million of uninsured patient visits. That number rose to $17 million in 2003. Reimbursements are minimal, pay is low, liability high.
"We have a pure safety net mandate," says Driskill, former chief of staff at Tripler Army Hospital. HHSC hospitals take patients regardless of their ability to pay, and keep them as long as necessary. "They stay for months, and sometimes years." Consequently, many rural hospitals have been forced to recategorize acute care beds to long-term care, a thorny, bureaucratic process. "You need some of both [beds] because often there's no other option in the community." Of HHSC's 1275 beds, about 750 are designated for long-term care.
Financially, the population in rural communities does not support the operation. "We can't justify having a hospital there, but there's no other alternative if you're going to have quality of life in that community," notes Driskill.
Pioneering high-tech methods may help solve some of these issues. Dr. Marjorie Mau, chairman of the Department of Native Hawaiian Health and a diabetes specialist, currently offers weekly video telemedicine clinics to remote areas from her office in Kakaako. Thanks to federal legislation, Hawaii and Alaska are the only two states in the country allowed to bill for remote patient visits.

Within the first 15 minutes of his job interview with Towson president Maravene Loeschke, Tim Leonard knew two things: he wanted to be the university's next athletic director, and the school felt the same way about him.
Loeschke was similarly enthusiastic about Leonard, saying, "It is very clear to all of us that we have a champion who is going to help us make champions."
Leonard, a senior associate athletic director for external affairs at Southern Methodist University, replaces Mike Waddell, who left in May to become a senior associate athletic director at Arkansas. Leonard, who will begin his tenure Aug. 19, said he plans to spend his first two months getting a feel for the institution and soaking up input from administrators, coaches, athletes and boosters.
"My plan is to listen, learn and then lead," he said. "I don't like to get ahead of myself without having a chance to meet as many folks as possible. I want to listen and I want to learn from the people that have been here to understand what it means to be a Towson Tiger. I want to absorb that before I go in and start trying to make changes. I need to understand what has happened, why these issues were made before I got here. Once I understand that, then I'll start to instill some of the traditions that I've learned."
Leonard, who was an interim athletic director at SMU between May and August 2012, will likely need to work swiftly. Waddell, his predecessor, was credited for revitalizing a dormant men's basketball program, but he also drew sharp criticism over the school's awkward handling of trying to cut the baseball and men's soccer programs to deal with budgetary deficiencies and Title IX issues.
The baseball team earned a reprieve when Gov. Martin O'Malley amended his budget to include $300,000 to keep the program operating at least two more years and $2 million to help build a softball field to satisfy Title IX inequalities.
Leonard said he has already begun some preliminary research on finding more permanent funding for the baseball team.
"I'm aware of the decisions that were made," he said. "Dr. Loescheke and I have spoken about that. It's our plan to move forward with the plans that are already in place for that. I know I'm going to have to get to work right away on figuring out a solution on some of the financial models that need to be met, particularly with baseball. So I've already started working on that a little bit, and I'm excited to get out here and get going."
Leonard also has the task of raising funds for a university that is overshadowed locally by the Ravens and Orioles and battling the likes of the University of Maryland, Johns Hopkins and Loyola for relevancy.
Leonard, who was in charge of fundraising and sales at SMU and helped double annual giving to athletics there since 2008, said Towson should not be concerned about competing with the professional franchises.
"We don't have the budget to go out and compete with the professional sports in this market, nor should I think we have to do that," he said. "We have our own niche here, and that's college athletics. It's a great experience, and we're going to find people that want to have that experience and let them know about Towson."
Donald C. Fry, president and CEO of the Greater Baltimore Committee, which chaired the university's search for a new AD, said 50 people applied for the position. The pool was narrowed to 12 and then six, who interviewed with the search committee and Loeschke.
Fry said the committee followed Loeschke's charge.
"She made it clear that she did not want to make a hire to maintain the status quo, but wanted to build on the momentum and the success that Towson athletics has enjoyed as of late," Fry said. "We are confident that with the selection of Tim Leonard, even better days are ahead for Towson University."

e-CFR data is current as of September 23, 2020
Title 40 → Chapter I → Subchapter N → Part 438 → Appendix
Title 40: Protection of Environment
Note: The definitions in this appendix shall not be used to differentiate between the six "core" metal finishing operations (i.e., Electroplating, Electroless Plating, Anodizing, Coating (chromating, phosphating, and coloring), Chemical Etching and Milling, and Printed Circuit Board Manufacture) and forty "ancillary" process operations listed at 40 CFR 433.10(a).
Abrasive Blasting involves removing surface film from a part by using abrasive directed at high velocity against the part. Abrasive blasting includes bead, grit, shot, and sand blasting, and may be performed either dry or with water. The primary applications of wet abrasive blasting include: Removing burrs on precision parts; producing satin or matte finishes; removing fine tool marks; and removing light mill scale, surface oxide, or welding scale. Wet blasting can be used to finish fragile items such as electronic components. Also, some aluminum parts are wet blasted to achieve a fine-grained matte finish for decorative purposes. In abrasive blasting, the water and abrasive typically are reused until the particle size diminishes due to impacting and fracture.
Adhesive Bonding involves joining parts using an adhesive material. Typically, an organic bonding compound is used as the adhesive. This operation usually is dry; however, aqueous solutions may be used as bonding agents or to contain residual organic bonding materials.
Alkaline Cleaning for Oil Removal is a general term for the application of an alkaline cleaning agent to a metal part to remove oil and grease during the manufacture, maintenance, or rebuilding of a metal product. This unit operation does not include washing of the finished products after routine use (as defined in "Washing (Finished Products)" in this appendix), or applying an alkaline cleaning agent to remove nonoily contaminants such as dirt and scale (as defined in "Alkaline Treatment Without Cyanide" in this appendix and "Alkaline Treatment With Cyanide" in appendix C of this part). Wastewater generated includes spent cleaning solutions and rinse waters.
(1) Alkaline cleaning is performed to remove foreign contaminants from parts. This operation usually is done prior to finishing (e.g., electroplating).
(2) Emulsion cleaning is an alkaline cleaning operation that uses either complex chemical enzymes or common organic solvents (e.g., kerosene, mineral oil, glycols, and benzene) dispersed in water with the aid of an emulsifying agent. The pH of the solvent usually is between 7 and 9, and, depending on the solvent used, cleaning is performed at temperatures from room temperature to 82 °C (180 °F). This operation often is used as a replacement for vapor degreasing.
Alkaline Treatment Without Cyanide is a general term used to describe the application of an alkaline solution not containing cyanide to a metal surface to clean the metal surface or prepare the metal surface for further surface finishing.
Aqueous Degreasing involves cleaning metal parts using aqueous-based cleaning chemicals primarily to remove residual oils and greases from the part. Residual oils can be from previous operations (e.g., machine coolants), oil from product use in a dirty environment, or oil coatings used to inhibit corrosion. Wastewater generated by this operation includes spent cleaning solutions and rinse waters.
Assembly/Disassembly involves fitting together previously manufactured or rebuilt parts or components into a complete metal product or machine or taking a complete metal product or machine apart. Assembly/disassembly operations are typically dry; however, special circumstances can require water for cooling or buoyancy. Also, rinsing may be necessary under some conditions.
Burnishing involves finish sizing or smooth finishing a part (previously machined or ground) by displacing, rather than removing, minute surface irregularities with smooth point or line-contact, fixed or rotating tools. Lubricants or soap solutions can be used to cool the tools used in burnishing operations. Wastewater generated during burnishing include process solutions and rinse water.
Calibration is performed to provide reference points for the use of a product. This unit operation typically is dry, although water may be used in some cases (e.g., pumping water for calibration of a pump). Water used in this unit operation usually does not contain additives.
Corrosion Preventive Coating involves applying removable oily or organic solutions to protect metal surfaces against corrosive environments. Corrosion preventive coatings include, but are not limited to: Petrolatum compounds, oils, hard dry-film compounds, solvent-cutback petroleum-based compounds, emulsions, water-displacing polar compounds, and fingerprint removers and neutralizers. Corrosion preventive coating does not include electroplating, or chemical conversion coating operations. Many corrosion preventive materials also are formulated to function as lubricants or as a base for paint. Typical applications include: Assembled machinery or equipment in standby storage; finished parts in stock or spare parts for replacement; tools such as drills, taps, dies, and gauges; and mill products such as sheet, strip, rod and bar. Wastewater generated during corrosion preventive coating includes spent process solutions and rinses. Process solutions are discharged when they become contaminated with impurities or are depleted of constituents. Corrosion preventive coatings typically do not require an associated rinse, but parts are sometimes rinsed to remove the coating before further processing.
Electrical Discharge Machining involves removing metals by a rapid spark discharge between different polarity electrodes, one the part and the other the tool, separated by a small gap. The gap may be filled with air or a dielectric fluid. This operation is used primarily to cut tool alloys, hard nonferrous alloys, and other hard-to-machine materials. Most electrical discharge machining processes are operated dry; however, in some cases, the process uses water and generates wastewater containing dielectric fluid.
Floor Cleaning (in Process Area) removes dirt, debris, and process solution spills from process area floors. Floors can be cleaned using wet or dry methods, such as vacuuming, mopping, dry sweeping, and hose rinsing. Non-process area floor cleaning in offices and other similar non-process areas is not included in this unit operation.
Grinding involves removing stock from a part by using abrasive grains held by a rigid or semirigid binder. Grinding shapes or deburrs the part. The grinding tool usually is a disk (the basic shape of grinding wheels), but can also be a cylinder, ring, cup, stick, strip, or belt. The most commonly used abrasives are aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and diamond. The process may use a grinding fluid to cool the part and remove debris or metal fines. Wastewater generated during grinding includes spent coolants and rinses. Metal-working fluids become spent for a number of reasons, including increased biological activity (i.e., the fluids become rancid) or decomposition of the coolant additives. Rinse waters typically are assimilated into the working fluid or treated on site.
Heat Treating involves modifying the physical properties of a part by applying controlled heating and cooling cycles. This operation includes tempering, carburizing, cyaniding, nitriding, annealing, aging, normalizing, austenitizing, austempering, siliconizing, martempering, and malleablizing. Parts are heated in furnaces or molten salt baths, and then may be cooled by quenching in aqueous solutions (e.g., brine solutions), neat oils (pure oils with little or no impurities), or oil/water emulsions. Heat treating typically is a dry operation, but is considered a wet operation if aqueous quenching solutions are used. Wastewater includes spent quench water and rinse water.
Impact Deformation involves applying impact force to a part to permanently deform or shape it. Impact deformation may include mechanical processes such as hammer forging, shot peening, peening, coining, high-energy-rate forming, heading, or stamping. Natural and synthetic oils, light greases, and pigmented lubricants are used in impact deformation operations. Pigmented lubricants include whiting, lithapone, mica, zinc oxide, molybdenum disulfide, bentonite, flour, graphite, white lead, and soap-like materials. These operations typically are dry, but wastewater can be generated from lubricant discharge and from rinsing operations associated with the operation.
Iron Phosphate Conversion Coating is the process of applying a protective coating on the surface of a metal using a bath consisting of a phosphoric acid solution containing no metals (e.g., manganese, nickel, or zinc) or a phosphate salt solution (i.e., sodium or potassium salts of phosphoric acid solutions) containing no metals (e.g., manganese, nickel, or zinc) other than sodium or potassium. Any metal concentrations in the bath are from the substrate.
Machining involves removing stock from a part (as chips) by forcing a cutting tool against the part. This includes machining processes such as turning, milling, drilling, boring, tapping, planing, broaching, sawing, shaving, shearing, threading, reaming, shaping, slotting, hobbing, and chamfering. Machining processes use various types of metal-working fluids, the choice of which depends on the type of machining being performed and the preference of the machine shop. The fluids can be categorized into four groups: Straight oil (neat oils), synthetic, semisynthetic, and water-soluble oil. Machining operations generate wastewater from working fluid or rinse water discharge. Metal-working fluids periodically are discarded because of reduced performance or development of a rancid odor. After machining, parts are sometimes rinsed to remove coolant and metal chips. The coolant reservoir is sometimes rinsed, and the rinse water is added to the working fluid.
Painting-Spray or Brush (Including Water Curtains) involves applying an organic coating to a part. Coatings such as paint, varnish, lacquer, shellac, and plastics are applied by spraying, brushing, roll coating, lithographing, powder coating, and wiping. Water is used in painting operations as a solvent (water-borne formulations) for rinsing, for cleanup, and for water-wash (or curtain) type spray booths. Paint spray booths typically use most of the water in this unit operation. Spray booths capture overspray (i.e., paint that misses the product during application), and control the introduction of pollutants into the workplace and environment.
Polishing involves removing stock from a part using loose or loosely held abrasive grains carried to the part by a flexible support. Usually, the objective is to achieve a desired surface finish or appearance rather then to remove a specified amount of stock. Buffing is included in this unit operation, and usually is performed using a revolving cloth or sisal buffing wheel, which is coated with a suitable compound. Liquid buffing compounds are used extensively for large-volume production on semiautomated or automated buffing equipment. Polishing operations typically are dry, although liquid compounds and associated rinses are used in some polishing processes.
Pressure Deformation involves applying force (other than impact force) to permanently deform or shape a part. Pressure deformation may include rolling, drawing, bending, embossing, sizing, extruding, squeezing, spinning, necking, forming, crimping or flaring. These operations use natural and synthetic oils, light greases, and pigmented lubricants. Pigmented lubricants include whiting, lithapone, mica, zinc oxide, molybdenum disulfide, bentonite, flour, graphite, white lead, and soap-like materials. Pressure deformation typically is dry, but wastewater is sometimes generated from the discharge of lubricants or from rinsing associated with the process.
Solvent Degreasing removes oils and grease from the surface of a part using organic solvents, including aliphatic petroleum (e.g., kerosene, naphtha), aromatics (e.g., benzene, toluene), oxygenated hydrocarbons (e.g., ketones, alcohol, ether), and halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g., 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, methylene chloride). Solvent cleaning takes place in either the liquid or vapor phase. Solvent vapor degreasing normally is quicker than solvent liquid degreasing. However, ultrasonic vibration is sometimes used with liquid solvents to decrease the required immersion time of complex shapes. Solvent cleaning often is used as a precleaning operation prior to alkaline cleaning, as a final cleaning of precision parts, or as surface preparation for some painting operations. Solvent degreasing operations typically are not followed by rinsing, although rinsing is performed in some cases.
Steam Cleaning removes residual dirt, oil, and grease from parts after processing though other unit operations. Typically, additives are not used in this operation; the hot steam removes the pollutants. Wastewater is generated when the cleaned parts are rinsed.
Testing (e.g., hydrostatic, dye penetrant, ultrasonic, magnetic flux) involves applying thermal, electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, or other energy to determine the suitability or functionality of a part, assembly, or complete unit. Testing also may include applying surface penetrant dyes to detect surface imperfections. Other examples of tests frequently performed include electrical testing, performance testing, and ultrasonic testing; these tests typically are dry but may generate wastewater under certain circumstances. Testing usually is performed to replicate some aspect of the working environment. Wastewater generated during testing includes spent process solutions and rinses.
Thermal Cutting involves cutting, slotting, or piercing a part using an oxy-acetylene oxygen lance, electric arc cutting tool, or laser. Thermal cutting typically is a dry process, except for the use of contact cooling waters and rinses.
Tumbling/Barrel Finishing/Mass Finishing/Vibratory Finishing involves polishing or deburring a part using a rotating or vibrating container and abrasive media or other polishing materials to achieve a desired surface appearance. Parts to be finished are placed in a rotating barrel or vibrating unit with an abrasive media (e.g., ceramic chips, pebbles), water, and chemical additives (e.g., alkaline detergents). As the barrel rotates, the upper layer of the part slides toward the lower side of the barrel, causing the abrading or polishing. Similar results can be achieved in a vibrating unit, where the entire contents of the container are in constant motion, or in a centrifugal unit, which compacts the load of media and parts as the unit spins and generates up to 50 times the force of gravity. Spindle finishing is a similar process, where parts to be finished are mounted on fixtures and exposed to a rapidly moving abrasive slurry. Wastewater generated during barrel finishing includes spent process solutions and rinses. Following the finishing process, the contents of the barrel are unloaded. Process wastewater is either discharged continuously during the process, discharged after finishing, or collected and reused. The parts are sometimes given a final rinse to remove particles of abrasive media.
Washing (Finished Products) involves cleaning finished metal products after use or storage using fresh water or water containing a mild cleaning solution. This unit operation applies only to the finished products that do not require maintenance or rebuilding.
Welding involves joining two or more pieces of material by applying heat, pressure, or both, with or without filler material, to produce a metallurgical bond through fusion or recrystallization across the interface. This includes gas welding, resistance welding, arc welding, cold welding, electron beam welding, and laser beam welding. Welding typically is a dry process, except for the occasional use of contact cooling waters or rinses.
Wet Air Pollution Control for Organic Constituents involves using water to remove organic constituents that are entrained in air streams exhausted from process tanks or production areas. Most frequently, wet air pollution control devices are used with cleaning and coating processes. A common type of wet air pollution control is the wet packed scrubber consisting of a spray chamber that is filled with packing material. Water is continuously sprayed onto the packing and the air stream is pulled through the packing by a fan. Pollutants in the air stream are absorbed by the water droplets and the air is released to the atmosphere. A single scrubber often serves numerous process tanks.

Now she gets notices twice for new email. Went into settings and tried to delete the account under regular mail, and I get an error message that the server cannot be contacted. Tried this several times both in WiFi and with a 4G connection. Same error message. It will not let me delete the account, I cannot change the username or password. The only thing I found to do was to set the sync on this account to manual only. I'm guessing that because this is the Gmail account associated with the phone, it won't let me change anything, and the error message that the server cannot be contacted is bogus. Is there any way to delete this "account' from the regular mail, short of doing a factory reset? A factory reset would be painful. Thanks for any help.

Hey!! I'm Molly... I'm a high school student who lives in California. I'm 5'4" and I have blond hair and brown eyes. I love Harry Potter and I also love writing, so I decided to try writing fanfics. Fanfictions are the only way I can feed my Harry Potter addiction between books. I'm a big Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny shipper and I love reading Lily and James fics. I like reading Tonks/Lupin fics, too. I'm really only good at writing in first person, so most of my stories are in someone's point of view. Recently I've started writing more stories (that do not involve HP in any way), so it may take me a little longer to get chapters out... sorry if this bothers you! :(
My family: I live with my mom, dad, and twin brother John. And my 6-year-old black Lab-Chow-Sharpei mix puppy Lucy (who really isn't a puppy anymore, but too bad). None of them like Harry Potter very much, as hard as it is to believe...
Favorite HP Characters: Ginny, Lupin, Tonks, Sirius, Ron, Hermione, Harry, Fred, George.
Ships I don't like: Hermione/Snape (that's just sick people! He's, like, 20 years older than her. And they don't even like each other to begin with!!), Hermione/Draco, Ginny/Draco (Neither of them will ever happen, people. They hate each other. Sorry to hurt your feelings), Any same-sex pairings (I have nothing against gays or lesbians, but let's be honest--do you really think any of the HP characters are gay?).
Favorite Authors: JK Rowling (duh. My favorite of the HP books is Prizoner of Azkaban. But I really like Order of the Phoenix and HBP), Sarah Dessen, Tamora Pierce, David Eddings, Louise Rennison, Libba Bray, Celia Rees, Ann Brashares (Girls in Pants rocked!!), Rachel Cohn...and a lot more... I really like to read.
Favorite Singers: Green Day, The Plain White T's, Bowling for Soup, The Veronicas, Uh, this isn't really a singer, but the Garden State soundtrack, Eminem, Usher, Vanessa Carlton, Blink-182, Black Eyed Peas, The Strokes, Michelle Branch, The All-American Rejects, OK Go, The Click Five , Jet... This is just a few. I'll listen to anything, really. I love music!
Favorite Movies: Pirates of the Carribean, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Napolean Dynamite, Dodgeball, The Lord of the Rings movies, Miss Congeniality, Mean Girls, etc.
Favorite Sports to Play: Softball (I'm a lefty catcher, and proud of it! :D). It's my sixth year playing and fifth year catching. Plus, a lot of the interesting things happen at softball--my friends and I were walking around at a tournament and we saw two parents basically making out by a water fountain. I always end up talking about hot guys, well, mostly arguing, with my former teammate Lauren (our teams practice together sometimes), much to the despair of my friend Natalie... I love horseback riding, too (Ainsley, you know English is soooo much better!!), but sadly, haven't really done it for a year. :(
Favorite Sport to Watch: Baseball! (Go Red Sox! I know it may seem weird, me being from California and all... but my dad grew up in Massachusetts and I really love it there.)
Favorite School Subject: English... or Acting...
Hottest guy ever: Orlando Bloom!! (Lauren thinks that Brad Pitt is really hot, but my friends and I call him Apeman from Hell... heehee) And Hayden Christensen is pretty hot, too, but he's kinda bad at acting.
If you've actually read all of this so far, you must be pretty bored... or you must really want to know what I'm like, I guess... but anyway, my penname on fanfiction.net is mollifer. I don't update much there, though.
Here's a list of the stories I'm writing or planning to write:
1. Summer in Between: A Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione fic. All in Ginny's POV.
2. Moving On: CHAPTER FIVE IS UP, SO READ AND REVIEW PLEASE!!!!!!! A Lily and James fic. Told all in Lily and James's POVs (and maybe sometimes their friends). It would be under general-historical, but since not many people read there (no offense to those who do; i like that category myself), but it has a lot of romance and I'm not getting many reviews. It's about their life and how they started going out And what happened to them and their friends. This is probably the longest fic I have planned to date, and it's a lot darker than the othe stories I'm writing (or planning to write). There's suicide, self-injury, and alcohol abuse (but not very graphic because it's PG-13). So if that sort of thing bothers you, don't read it.
Thanks SOOOOO much to Ainsley and Natalie! Without them, none of these stories ever would have come into being! :)

In a time-honored monastic custom we will "ring out" one last Alleluia tonight after Evening Prayer. It will be the last one we sing until the Easter Vigil. There is something very significant about abstaining from certain rituals during the holy season of Lent. We "fast" -- in a sense -- from the Alleluia and the Gloria; we refrain from decorating the chapel or choir with flowers. Our senses are deprived of familiar and comfortable signs of celebration and consolation.
Our Lenten journey is a symbol of our Christian pilgrimage. Much like St. Peter's statement in today's Gospel, we are called to leave behind many things if we are to follow Christ. Like the rituals that we leave behind during Lent, however, all that we give up to follow the Lord is given back to us. The Alleluias are sung again, the flowers, decorations, festive music, etc., are given to us again and again during the Octave of Easter: a week of Easter Sundays. And so it is with all that we leave behind when we follow Christ; it is returned to us in ways we could never have imagined -- in this life and in the life to come.
As we bid farewell to the comforts of Ordinary Time and begin this most sacred of seasons, let us ask the Lord for the grace to lay aside all that separates us from Him. May all we undertake or offer up be pleasing in His sight and may its fruit be the charity with which we treat our neighbors.
"These forty days symbolize the life of the Christian, of each one of us. If we do not struggle we shall not be victorious . . . . And let us not entertain the vain hope of being saints in three months! Let us also shun both spiritual avarice and the ambition which occasions so much disorder in our hearts. May God be blessed. Amen."
St. Francis de Sales

(CNN) -- A top Republican U.S. senator brushed off the anti-tax pledge pushed by activist Grover Norquist and embraced widely for years by GOP lawmakers.
"I care more about my country than I do about a 20-year-old pledge," Sen. Saxby Chambliss told Georgia television station WMAZ, a CNN affiliate, on Wednesday. "If we do it his way, then we'll continue in debt and I just have a disagreement with him about that."
Congress faces a year-end deadline to reach agreement on taming the U.S. budget deficit or take other steps to avert the so-called fiscal cliff of mandatory tax increases and spending cuts that experts say would push the country back into recession.
At the heart of budget standoff is disagreement over how to raise new revenues to help reduce red ink.
President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats call for an increase in tax rates for the wealthiest Americans, while House Republicans, who control that chamber's majority, favor other approaches for brining in money, such as closing certain tax loopholes and eliminating deductions.
Norquist, who heads the conservative group Americans for Tax Reform, has been successful over the years in lobbying a strong majority of congressional Republicans to sign his pledge to not raise taxes.
Many GOP candidates who ran for office also signed the promise, but earlier this year, a small number of freshman lawmakers rejected the idea that they were bound to the document.
Chambliss, along with 38 other senators and 219 House members entering the next Congress, have signed the pledge, according to the website for Americans for Tax Reform.
But Chambliss, who has previously criticized Norquist's stronghold on anti-tax sentiments, said this week that the fiscal conservative's ideas stand in the way of finding a solution for ballooning debt.
"Norquist has no plan to pay this debt down," said Chambliss, who is up for re-election in 2014.
The anti-tax crusader has said he predicts congressional Republicans will stand firm and negotiate a deal that excludes tax hikes.
Asked if Chambliss is concerned Norquist may use his resources to combat a re-election bid, the senator said, "In all likelihood, yes."
"But I don't worry about that because I care too much about my country," he said. "I care a lot more about it than I do Grover Norquist."
The two-term senator from Georgia added he's "willing to do the right thing and let the political consequences take care of themselves."

As the world was marking World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on Saturday, the UN independent human rights expert mandated with defending the rights of older persons, Rosa Kornfeld-Matte, has stressed that they are often victims of sexual abuse and rape, although it remains rarely detected, reported or exposed.
"The sexual abuse and rape of older persons is a subject rarely discussed, but nevertheless is a reality," said Ms. Kornfeld-Matte, in a statement, calling on everyone to "be more attentive and report suspected cases of abuse of older people".
"Invisible" and "still taboo", she noted that, "with the ageing of our societies, this problem is expected to grow dramatically" and that "without enough data, statistics and studies, we will not have even an estimate of the dimensions involved."
The human rights expert explained that one of the challenges of sexual abuse is the perpetuation of the myth that it's mainly carried out by strangers. "Sadly, most abusers are family members, relatives or other confidants typically in caring positions," she emphasized.
Ms. Kornfeld-Matte noted that "negative stereotypes, such as that older persons aren't sexual beings, their greater dependency on others, potential divided loyalty to staff members or residents, are unique barriers to reporting, detecting and preventing sexual assault in nursing homes".
Despite severe health consequences, efforts to prevent and address abuse remain inadequate. For example, the expert explained, "forensic and other criminal evidence can be lost by mistaken compassion or shame of others who desire to make the older person comfortable instead of calling the police".
To remedy this, she called on everyone to increase their vigilance, noting that the behavior of an older person, even if they have confusion or dementia, will show when something is wrong.
"Let me reiterate that awareness and attentiveness is critical," she stressed. "Not only relatives and confidants but also staff in hospitals and care facilities must be aware of the existence of sexual assault and that it is their duty as care providers to report alleged or suspected sexual assault in a timely manner".
She called on more education, training, data and research to address the knowledge gaps around incidence, reporting and investigations, in order to better prevent and respond to the scourge.

Impact of Climate Change on Marginalized Women: An Exploratory Study across 6 Districts in Assam
Download: English
Though there has been a lot of debate regarding climate change and its impacts on several issues such as food security, water shortage etc, attention has not been paid on the impacts of climate change on some very critical issues which includes impacts on marginalized women in the rural areas.
This study shows that impacts of climate change has already started taking place and it is predominately visible at various locations across the state of Assam in North Eastern India, and unknown to many among the policy makers and at the government level, there has been impacts of climate change on the social security, education, health etc of marginalized women in the rural areas in the state.
The study also shows that people are shifting from their traditional livelihood source, which is usually agriculture to other means of livelihood which includes working as a daily wage labour as there has been a decline in the agricultural production and other traditional practices. Besides this, in many households, women who were earlier home makers have now started working to supplement the familys income as there has been a decline in the income through agriculture. In several households the families have also asked their daughter to quit her studies and spend time at the house for the household chorus.

Screenwriter Michael Bacall is poised to be in high demand very, very soon. He co-wrote the wonderful Scott Pilgrim vs. The World with Edgar Wright, and he has two high-profile projects set to open weeks apart from each other: the much buzzed about 21 Jump Street and the Todd Phillips-produced Project X. In 2010 he was set to write a spinoff film for Tom Cruise's Les Grossman character in Tropic Thunder, but we haven't heard much about the project in quite some time.
Steve got the chance to sit down with Bacall to talk about 21 Jump Street and Project X, and while we'll have the full interview up closer to the release of those films we wanted to share with you a few bits regarding the Les Grossman movie right away. Bacall confirmed that he wrote an R-rated script and revealed that it's actually "a pretty heartfelt story." Hit the jump for more.
Regarding the status of the film, Bacall said that it's more to do with Cruise's schedule than a development hold-up:
"Paramount has the draft and I gather that they're pretty happy with it. I think Tom Cruise probably has a lot of stuff on his plate right now (laughs) and I think it'll be a schedule thing more than anything."
The scribe confirmed that he intends for the pic to be R-rated and revealed that we'll be delving a bit into who Les Grossman is:
"I wrote it for R because we had precedent with Tropic Thunder. It's actually a pretty heartfelt story. I had a lot of meetings with Mr. Cruise and Mr. Stiller and it was crazy, it was a blast. I think we came up with some really fun stuff to give you an insight into who the guy is, so I'm hopeful that that'll get up and running soon."
Though Grossman seemed to be an all-around terrible person in Tropic Thunder, it sounds as though we'll be getting into why he's such a despicable human being. I thought Cruise was surprisingly great as Grossman and I'm eager to see what kind of story Bacall, Cruise and Stiller have cooked up. I also sincerely hope that Bill Hader returns as Grossman's right-hand man. The guy has insane comedic range and stole more than a few scenes in Tropic Thunder, so one imagines he'll be back.
It may be a while before Cruise's schedule opens up. He's currently filming One Shot, he's next set to star in Joseph Kosinski's sci-fi pic Oblivion, and he recently committed to Doug Liman's All You Need Is Kill. Hopefully he gets to Les Grossman sooner rather than later, as I'm excited to see how this project comes together.

O'Reilly: "[I]rresponsible and lazy ... that's what poverty is"
On the June 11 nationally syndicated broadcast of The Radio Factor, host Bill O'Reilly claimed that poor people in the United States are "irresponsible and lazy" ; "didn't make any money" during the 1990s; and "will never make any money because ... you can't compete ... if you are addicted and ill-educated." In fact, poor Americans did make economic gains in the 1990s.
Discussing former President Ronald Reagan's handling of "racial politics," O'Reilly made clear that he believes all people in poverty are "irresponsible and lazy" and explained that laziness, drug addiction, and lack of education are the only causes of poverty:
O'REILLY: Reagan was not a confrontational guy, didn't like confrontation, much rather be your pal ... doesn't want to get involved with the really nasty stuff, the tough stuff, and that's what racial politics is -- nasty and tough. ... It's hard to do it because you gotta look people in the eye and tell 'em they're irresponsible and lazy. And who's gonna wanna do that? Because that's what poverty is, ladies and gentlemen. In this country, you can succeed if you get educated and work hard. Period. Period. I mean I know people from Haiti, from the Ukraine from eh, -- we got callers all day long on The Factor. From Romania. You come here, you get educated, you work hard, you'll make a buck. You get addicted, you don't know anything, you'll be poor. But Reagan did not want to confront the issue. And that's the truth about it.
Earlier in the program, O'Reilly offered his interpretation of Reagan's economic philosophy:
O'REILLY: Reagan said, "No [to government entitlements]. Self-reliance. We will create an atmosphere and an economy where you will have more money because we'll cut taxes and this and that. And you can make it. You can do it." And that exploded during the Clinton years, with all the R&D that companies invested in the 80s you had the technological revolution where a lot of people made a lot of money. But not the poor people who are ill-educated or addicted. They didn't make any money because they never will make any money because you can't compete in that circumstance. You cannot compete if you are addicted and ill-educated. All right.
The truth is that poor people did "make money" during Bill Clinton's presidency -- after losing ground during the Reagan administration. An Economic Policy Institute analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau's wage data shows that average real (i.e., inflation-adjusted) wages for the poorest 10 percent of workers declined from $6.42 per hour in 1981 to $5.74 per hour in 1988. By contrast, the same group's real wages increased from $5.91 in 1993 to $6.48 in 2000 (although wages actually decreased slightly from 1993 to 1995, before increasing rapidly between 1996 and 2000).

Inpatient Services
Inpatient services are provided to patients during a hospital stay. You become an inpatient once you are admitted to the hospital with a doctor's order. Outpatient services are provided in an outpatient setting, such as a doctor's office, surgery center, or Emergency Department.
DHS operates three tertiary-care academic medical centers and a world-renowned rehabilitation hospital for patients recovering from brain and spinal cord injuries. These hospital sites have physicians completing their graduate medical education (residencies) from top medical schools, enhancing the scope and level of care DHS inpatients receive.
Patients are typically admitted to a hospital for an acute illness, traumatic injury, planned surgery, or observation and tests. Most hospital admissions come from the Emergency Department or are coordinated in advance by a patient's primary care provider. DHS also provides inpatient psychiatric services.
Listed below are DHS hospitals that provide inpatient services. A hospital stay can often be prevented through regular, ongoing care with a Primary Care provider. To get linked to Primary Care services, go to the "Services" tab on the main homepage that will guide you to DHS clinics offering Primary Care services.
