cc "y JlL Wednesday, October 11, 1995 Volume 58 Number 16 Provost Robert to resign spring By Alisa C. Rasmussen Signpost news editor The phrase "all good things must come to an end" became a true fact today when Provost Robert Smith made the announcement he would resign in June. He said it wasn't a sudden decision. It has been a decision that started about five years ago when he found his personal and professional interests going in different directions. He said he found he needed to take a break to pursue some other interests for a while. Smith's experiences in Sou th America, Central Europe, and the former Soviet Union have given him a different perspective of life. He said he feels he wants to pursue his life in a more attentive way, paying more attention to the natural world around him. Smith wishes to gain more insights into what the world has in store for him. Smith said the time restrictions of his position at WSU are keeping him from some of the "adventures that await" him. "There are lessons to learn from being among a people in the act of throwing off a half-century of oppression," Smith said. "Likewise, there are les Inside Post Sidetracks: Professional bagpipe player plays "Thunderstruck" on pipes. FRIDAY NIGHT!

See page 12 sons to learn from watching hawthorn branches wave in the wind, from observing ants at work on a rattlesnake carcass, or from quietly contemplating a mountain peak at sunrise." Through Smith's speech, he spoke of several experiences he's had over the years and how WSU has had a very big im- pact on wno ne is. Smith recalls how people worried when he was hired. They believed he would just "come and go" because he was new to the cam pus. "Obviously, they didn't know what they were getting into," Smith said. "Neither did 1. 1 made a public commitment then to stay at least five years, hardly imagining that I'd find such a high level of compatibility with Weber State's organizational culture and with its surrounding community. I'm still here 15 years later, still loving the experience and appreciating the people I live and work with, having no intention of every leavingOgden." President Paul Thompson said that the Board of Trustees has granted him a year's leave for 1996-97. n - V I -A J- Smith 1996 "He thought it was not fair to the university to leave and not leave the position open," Thompson said. "He wanted to give us a chance to find someone, so upon his return, we could place him somewhere else and still have an acting provost." It's impossible to compress 15 years of feelings into words. . .I'm forever indebted to you for the most rewarding professional experience imaginable. 9 Provost Robert Smith "Getting away for a while will help me adjust to a new level of responsibility when I return," Smith said. "Perhaps more important, it will get me out of the way of my successor." Thompson said that Smith will be greatly missed because he has been an outstanding leader. "He is an exceptional person, but right now, he needs to go after different goals." Upon his return, Smith said he plans to be involved in a role that makes good use of his time and experience. Smith also said in the not too distant future, he plans to R.C. Willey gives $1 million Weber State will benefit greatly from generosity One of the largest cash awards Weber State University has ever received was on Oct. 10 from the CEO of R.C. Willey Home Furnishings.William H. Child, CEO of R.C. Willey Home Furnishings and his wife, Patricia Ann, of Salt Lake City awarded WSU 41 shares of Berkshire Hathaway stock, valued at $1 million and $50,000. "I have a great love for Weber State University," Child said. "I think the university does a superior job in providing undergraduate education." Funds from the sale of the stock will support six university programs. WSU's college of Business and Fconomics will receive 5500,000, i lie largest snare of the donation.

Thompson said that he is optimistic there will be some other great candidates for the position, but Smith's shoes will be hard to fill. Smith's decision to resign did not come easily, but he said he is hopeful that life will lead him $150,000 to go directly to help renovate and install a new track facility and $50,000 to help fund the tennis program. The Alumni Center, the College of Applied Science and Technology, the College of Arts and Humanities, and the Utah Musical Theatre (UMT) will all receive $100,000 of the funds. The College of Health Professions will receive $50,000. President Paul Thompson said the gift will fill important needs for all the programs it serves. "This funding will help WSU enhance nationally recognized programs that serve state-wide needs," Thompson said.

Child is an alumnus of WSU and served on the WSU Board of Trustees from 1987 to 1991. He said some of his most outstanding employees received their degrees from WSU.

Object Description
|Signpost (Weber, Utah), 1995-10-11, Vol. 58, No. 16
|Weber State University
|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

"Francine" is an example of the kind of film I'm likely to respond strongly to, while at the same time knowing many readers will disagree. The more I describe it, the less attractive it may seem. Gene Siskel often told me lots of his favorite films were about how realistic characters live their lives. Yes.
Here is a portrait of a damaged, limited woman who is probably mentally ill, although that isn't obvious to everyone she meets. She's one of those people we read about, whose home is overrun by cats and dogs. You don't know that when you meet her working at a discount store, or a stable, or a pet shop. A nice guy even asks her out on a date.
Melissa Leo's sympathetic performance shows her as a loner. As the movie opens, she's being released from prison, her crime and sentence left unmentioned. She moves into a tiny house in a semi-rural area, wanders outside and comes across a scrubby punk band performing at deafening volume at the edge of a parking lot for perhaps two dozen bored teenagers. She begins to dance along, working herself into a frenzy, then abruptly walks away.
She finds a stray cat, feeds it, takes it in. She takes the first of a series of minimum-wage jobs. She finds it difficult to speak audibly or look customers in the eye. She's hired by Ned (Keith Leonard), a recovering alcoholic, to help him as a stable hand. As she gently brushes polo ponies, we notice how much she loves and even pities animals; she seems to identify with them, offering them the consolation she requires.
At home, by small stages, her dog and cat population grows, until she finally just scatters dry pet food on the floor. She doesn't so much caress her animals as cling to them for consolation. On a date with Ned, who sips a Coke, she has too much beer and abandons herself in a wild dance with a woman (Victoria Charkut) from Ned's church. That night, and another time, she engages in casual sex.
There is a fascinating, detailed, sequence during which a veterinarian trains her as an assistant, particularly to handle dying animals as they are put down. She throws herself emotionally into comforting the animals during their last moments. She has no pity for herself, but later when she sees a dog left locked inside a car, she goes frantic. She can't find the owner. She stands near the car desperately waving her arms at the sky in frustration.
This is a first feature from writers and directors Brian M. Cassidy and Melanie Shatzky, who have previously made documentaries together. They like details. They stay in the moment. They allow Francine to speak for herself — or not. Melissa Leo plays her without inflection, giving us no instructions about what our opinion should be. It is a brave performance, an act of empathy with a sad woman.

If you set my pf to show 60 images and go to page 2 and there're a few candids of people taken with a Tamron 18-270mm (the older version). I use it more than I thought I would. I've used it for some Greenwich pictures too, but can't identify all of them here.
Quote: The original adaptals or the adaptal 2`s

Steady guys... you're losing our Joshwa!!
Ok, using the largely undiscovered SP 70-150 f2.8 Adaptall 2, I took this on the Fuji S2 Pro when I used to do some portraits.
With the SP 500mm f8 Adaptall 2 mirror lens, a feathered friend on a cold day, also on the S2 Pro
and with the old faithful SP 28-80 Adaptall 2 on my Konica FC-1, a rock that looks like a horse's head!
All improvements are for the worse! LOL !
I bought the Tamron DiII AF55-200mm f4-5.6 Macro which I took a few shots with at the time but haven't used it since. A budget lens, perhaps, but a useful addition, I thought.
I got caught up in a project which took up most of my time, in which I exclusively used wider angle lenses.
I bought it to compliment my Sigma 18-50mm lens - two lenses which would then cover most of my work.
However - later in the year perhaps!

Soak it up! It'll be a mild start to the work week with daytime high climbing to the lower 60s for early November! Look for cloudy skies and relatively dry weather through Election night.
Scattered showers roll in late Tuesday into Wednesday, bringing mainly rain showers to the region. By Thursday and Friday, cooler air drops in from the north -- dramatically dropping temperatures. Daytime highs will only be in the 30s with overnight lows in the 20s. Snow levels will drop to the valley floors, so we could see a decent dusting by next weekend.
Get your gear ready...winter is on its way! -DG

In this section, the word "Secretary" is substituted for "Secretary of the Treasury", thereby incorporating the definition of "Secretary" in section 2101 of title 46. The functions of the Secretary of the Treasury relating to the Coast Guard previously were transferred to the Secretary of Transportation by section 6(b) of the Department of Transportation Act (Pub. L. 89–670, Oct. 15, 1966, 80 Stat. 938). The Coast Guard and the functions of the Secretary of Transportation relating to the Coast Guard were again transferred to the Department of Homeland Security by section 888(b) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–296, Nov. 25, 2002, 116 Stat. 2135).
In subsection (a)(1), the words "seeking hereunder to document a vessel under the laws of the United States or to operate a vessel exempt from documentation under the laws of the United States" are omitted as unnecessary because of the reorganization of the section.
Subsection (d)(1)(B) is substituted for "together with their owners or masters, shall be entitled to all the other benefits and privileges and shall be subject to the same requirements, penalties, and forfeitures as may be applicable in the case of vessels built in the United States and otherwise documented or exempt from documentation under the laws of the United States" to eliminate unnecessary words.
In subsection (d)(2), the words before subparagraph (A) are substituted for "no vessel owned by any such corporation shall engage in the fisheries or in the transportation of merchandise or passengers for hire between points in the United States, including Territories, Districts, and possessions thereof, embraced within the coastwise laws, except" to eliminate unnecessary words. See the definition of "United States" in chapter 1 of the revised title.

Please note: I strongly suggest reading the terms of use and license regarding the content of this site.
The slow sand filter projects documented on this website have taken place in the pacific northwest area of Washington state, USA. The first filter project (filter one) was started in early 2007. All of the projects are ongoing and will continue as long as the author is able. The water quality tests that have been done by epa certified testing laboratories are noted as such. The preliminary field tests are done onsite and are also noted as such. The researcher has a four year degree from the University of Washington (class of 2006) in environmental studies plus 35 years of experience in non-academic work. Chemicals used for drinking water treatment such as chlorine, or ozone that produce toxic cancer causing byproducts are not used in these filters. The longest running slow sand water filter project this site documents has been ongoing for six and a half years (it was started in the summer of 2007). It will continue as long as possible.
Keep in mind that "Backwashing" a biological sand filter will destroy it.; and that a biological sand filter is constantly full of water up to and covering the top surface of the sand inside by at least 1 inch or more - the sand must not be exposed to air.
Know that the content of this site will change considerably as this study continues.
Rain barrels are now legal in Washington state! For over 90 years it has been illegal to catch rainwater in Washington state.note 2 As of October 9 2009, catching roof water is no longer a crime! The department of Ecology in Washington state (the D.O.E.) has finally clarified the law so as to allow individuals to catch rainwater for their own use. (from this preceding link, click on the links at the D.O.E. site on the upper right hand side of their page that say "new" highlighted in yellow.)
So far work has been done on 10 different filter configurations. Five separate small slow sand filters are involved:
The most recent tests on fiter 1 show that a slow sand filter system of this design is capable of significantly reducing TPH (Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon) contamination in the water that passes through it. In this case the pre-filter system contamination is 2.9 milligrams per liter in the winter from water directly off of the roof. When we are talking about clean water, this is an unacceptable level for use as a water source without proper filtering. The slow sand filter system described here, which is in use with filter 1, has been in operation for 2 years without changing or cleaning the filter media. This system reduces these petroleum hydrocarbons from the roofing material (heavy oils), and (possibly) from air pollution (Diesel), down to less than one tenth of a milligram per 1 liter of water each (2 tenths of a miligram total); and this is when the filter is LEAST effective at 32 degrees F. This exceeds the MTCA Method A cleanup level for TPH in ground water as per the Washington State Department of Ecology 54 (page 4) by a factor of 10. The tests also show that petroleum hydrocarbons are removed by the first flush diverter to a level of less than 1 part per million (this exceeds the MTCA Method A requirement for groundwater which is 1mg/L). Also we know from the tests that over 40 percent of the hydrocarbons are Diesel. We do not know exactly how much hydrocarbon comes from local air pollution, which is significant in this area. The test for how much is due to the roofing material and how much is due to air pollution will have to wait. Funding is limited, and these tests are extremely expensive. The US EPA considers petroleum hydrocarbons (oil and grease) one of 46 other "non-priority pollutants" 55. There are not any "official" specific regulations for levels of TPH contamination in water set by the EPA. One of the reasons is that there are hundreds of compounds in petroleum and it is extremely difficult to identify each one and the effects each has on living organisms . We do know that there are between 5 and 10 million metric tons of oil entering the marine environment every year (as of 1986), and that oil spills are lethal to most forms of life. In spite of that, the EPA has yet to establish strict guidelines for TPH in water; and the studies they have done fail to show toxicity to humans. However, concentrations of some individual elements in TPH pollution above .001 mg/L have been shown to be harmful to aquatic life. 56 (p 203-206), 57 (p 220)
In addition to removing TPH contamination, Filter 1 removes coliform bacteria from 30,000 cfu per 100 ml down to 10 cfu per 100 ml (log credit of 3.477).This exceeds the Washington state Class AA (extraordinary) surface water requirements for the absence of coliform by a factor of 5, and this is when it is operating at minimum efficiency in 32 degree (Fahrenheit) weather.
Update, 2014-06-15:Filter 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are still running and producing clean water. More tests will be done as time and finance permits. Filter 1 has not had the sand changed for 6 years; and has only been wet-harrowed (cleaned) once in that time. The flow rate on filter 1 has stabilized to approximately 12 liters per hour overall average. There are now three 5 gallon slow sand filters running here. They have been in operation since September of 2013. There are also 3 pond filters in operation here. All of the filters, including the experimental 5 gallon filters improve the quality of water that runs through them. Filter 1 is the best so far. The 5 gallon filters are the least effective, but they do work marginally.
2011-01-13:The pond water filter test shows fecal coliform at less than 2 MPN per 100 ml.(less than 2 organisms per 100 ml of water. MPN means Most Probable Number) see this website for a good expanation of "MPN" per 100ml Not bad considering birds, squirrels, and other wildlife use the pond daily.

NEW A summary of roofwater harvesting procedures
2010-01-05 Tests to determine total petroleum hydrocarbon pollutants in roof water from a composition roof are now available 2010-01-05: Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (heavy oils and Diesel together) are significantly reduced by the slow sand filter down to less than 2 parts per ten million. Read the details below: See a YouTube video of the roof water filter here
2010-05-18 Tests on filter 2 and 3 to determine total organic carbon content and on filter 1 to determine Snohomish county water quality standards compliance and total organic carbon content have gone in. The results will be posted when received.
2010-06-15: The filters passed all the tests by comfortable margins. The TOC was a little on the high side, but still acceptable, and was much better in filter 2 and 3 actually being reduced.
1. The first filter (filter 1 2007-08-13) configuration was put together with very casual attention to detail and operated with only "human" power (10 gallons of water was added manually each day). This was done deliberately to verify the validity of this question: Can a working biological sand filter be put together with mostly recycled material at very low cost (under 25 dollars) using construction grade sand and average skills? The answer - partially. The test results showed no fecal coliform bacteria from stagnant roof water runoff but some coliform present. This water would be ok for everything except consumption and better than water straight from a "rain barrel".
2. The second configuration of filter 1 2007-10-09 was the addition of graded sand (.15 mm effective size) to the top layer of this filter and ungraded "fine" sand to the bottom layer. These were the only changes to the filter detail. This filter removed 99.9 percent of all coliform bacteria (including ecoli and fecal coliform) and removed more of the color from the roof water runoff - still not ok for drinking on a regular basis but 99.9 percent better than the rain barrel water and much safer. With only close attention to the detail of the size of the top layer of sand, the filter is now functional.
3.The third configuration of filter 1 2008-02-12 was the addition of a first flush diverter to the system. This allowed for significant improvement of turbidity (as determined by visual inspection) and some reduction of the bacteria (as determined by laboratory tests) before the water was put into the filter. Still the same result - removal of 99.9 percent of all coliform bacteria.
4. The fourth configuration of filter 1 2008-02-12 involved the addtion of a small dc powered pump to recirculate the water through the filter. This was an attempt to keep the biofilm alive without having to manually add water each day. The dc pump is operated with a very small amount of power and can be run by a solar panel. This worked. The filter still removed 99.9 percent of all coliform. As of 2008/12/01, this configuration of Filter 1 has been in continuous operation for 14 months without disturbing the biolayer (schmutzdecke). The flow rate is 3 liters per hour as of 2008/12/01. The reason for this long undisturbed run is to determine if a slow sand filter becomes more efficient at removing contaminants as it ages. The compromise would be in flow rate: significantly reduced flow rate to obtain significantly increased water quality. This filter uses water from a composition roof as its source. This water should contain unacceptable amounts of hydrocarbons from the roof surface. The question is: will the aged slow sand filter remove enough chemicals and pathogens to produce potable water? Update 12/18/2008: Two samples of water were taken from this filtering system (the fourth configuration of filter 1) just before the freezing weather hit: Filtered water and unfiltered water. The filtered water had been through the slow sand filter and the unfiltered water was taken from the storage container that provides the raw water source for the filter.(filter 1) The samples were put into two separate containers which were identical and were cleaned and sterilized. These containers were put in a building where the temperature was 32 degrees F. The filtered water froze and the unfiltered water did not freeze. It is a known scientific fact that water containing dissolved substances freezes at a lower temperature than water with less dissolved substances. (this is why salt is put on roads to "thaw" out the ice - the salt slowly lowers the freezing point of the ice and causes it to "melt".) Since the filtered water froze and the unfiltered water did not freeze (the surrounding temperature was not low enough to freeze the unfiltered water - it's freezing point was lower than the filtered water - for some unknown reason), did the filter remove dissolved chemicals? A test will go in as soon as money, time and weather permit.
5. Filter 2 2008-05-24 is 12 inches deeper than filter 1 with more graded sand (.15mm effective size), and the water input is from a shallow well. This filter uses the dc pump modification and is fully functional - it removes 99.9 percent of all coliform bacteria and the water has no roof chemicals in it. This is potable water with one (albeit only slight) caveat: chemicals or pollutants present in the sand will be in the output water. This condition can be checked with a thorough water quality test, if no poisons are found in the water then it is potable and probably the best water around.
6.Filter 3 2008-10-09 is now in the process of becoming fully operational. This filter contains all NSF/ANSI 61 - AWWA 100 approved (the two standards for potable water) sand. This means we know there are not poison chemicals in the sand. The top layer of sand is .25 mm effective size and the bottom layer is .35 effective size, however these sands have known uniformity coefficients of less than 2. The container and all the pipe are also ok for potable water. A test will be done on the water in about 3 weeks. (3 weeks from Sept 19 2008). As of Sept 23 the flow rate is 38 liters per hour (approximately 10 gallons per hour.)
2008/11/07 Update: An excessive amount of alge has formed on top of the sand in this filter. This has drastically slowed down the flow rate - from 10 gallons per hour to 3.6 gallons per hour. It only took 4 weeks for this algae to build up. The cleaning process, however is very simple. This is a description of what was done ( it is called "wet harrowing"):
I removed the top of the filter and GENTLY ran my hand over the top 1/4 to 1/2 cm of sand until all the surface of the sand had been agitated. The water became cloudy with fragments of algae. This part of the water was drained off. There was an almost immediate change in the flow rate, although I would recommend plugging the output while the filter is being cleaned. I installed a drain pipe on the top of the filter so water can be run through the input baffle pipes while the excess cloudy water is drained off. When the water draining off became reasonably clear, the top cleaning drainpipe was closed and the filter was allowed to resume operation. The flow rate measured 48 hours after this procedure was 28.965 litres per hour (7.65 gallons per hour). The biolayer must have time to re-grow however, so the water will not be safe for several weeks.
7.2009/02/17: Added a float valve to filter 3.
2008/11/10 Update: The test that went in 2008/10/29 has come back on filter 3. All coliform bacteria are removed by the filter.
2008/12/18 Update: Due to extremely cold weather (for this location) all the filters have completely frozen and stopped operation. The temperature has been below freezing since 2008/12/12
2008/12/27 Update: New information from the results of research regarding the viability of composition roofing material for water collection are posted on the FAQ page.
2009/01/16 Update: The filters are now running again. The below freezing weather lasted until the first few days in January 2009. In this location, temperatures were below 20 degrees for nearly one week, and dropped to below 15 degrees F for several days. There was 16 inches of snow on the ground. All the filters were inactive and frozen for 3 weeks. Pipes were cracked and brass valves were destroyed. All the pipes were wrapped with insulation, but that did not help because the water inside the filters froze. In climates where below freezing temperatures occur, these filters MUST be kept from freezing.
2009/01/26 Update: The filters have frozen again. There was an inch and a half of snow last night. Below freezing weather finally froze all the filters as of today. Operation has been sporadic for the past nine days - night temps have been near or below 32 deg F. .
2009/02/08 Update: Both filter 2 and filter 3 were damaged because of the cold weather. They have been disassembled checked and put back together. This meant carefully removing all the sand and gravel from each filter cleaning the container, replacing cracked drain pipes and putting the sand back in. Each filter contains approximately 900 lbs of sand and gravel. This is VERY labor intensive work. The re-assembled filters are now running. Filter 2 has been running since Feb 3 2009 and has a maximum flow rate of 72 litres per hour (19 gallons) with 20 cm (7.5 inches) of water covering the surface of the sand. Filter 3 has a maximum flow rate of 90 litres per hour (23 gallons) with 16.5 cm (6.5 in.) of water covering the surface of the sand and has been restarted again on Feb 13 2009.
2009/03/11 Update: All the filters except filter 3 with the float valve have stopped operation, are frozen and have been for 3 days ( this is the fourth day ). Record low temperatures here were below 19 degrees F. and there has been a total of 5 inches of snow at this location in the past week.
2009/03/13 Update: All the filters are now back in operation.
2009/04/07 Update: Filter 3 flow rate: .75 litres per minute (45 litres per hour) with 16.5 cm water depth over the top of the sand. (11.89 gallons per hour)
Filter 2 flow rate: .71 litres per minute (42 litres per hour) with 16.5 cm water depth over the top of the sand. (11.25 gallons per hour)
2009/12/08 Update: All filters are frozen. The temperature has been below freezing for five days, and below 18 degrees F the past two nights.
2009/12/22 Update: All filters are now in operation.
2009/12/27 Update Temperatures the past 4 days have been below freezing at night (25 degrees F), however the water in the filters has not frozen.
2011/01/03 Update The pond filter output water went in for a Coliform test, and a turbidity test December 27th. We expect results back within the next two weeks.
2012/01/16 Update The pond filters have frozen as of Jan 16. Filter 1 and the newest, Filter 4, have also frozen as of Jan 16. Snow total so far for this storm is 9 inches at this location. Filter 2 and 3 are still in operation.
Clean water is necessary for life, without it people cannot live. As the population of any given area increases the demand for clean water increases. At the same time more water becomes unsuitable for human consumption. Aquatic life, including many species of fish that support human life also suffer. To prevent human suffering and conflict, clean water must be freely available to all people. In most areas of the world today clean water is not freely available to anyone. In fact, in most parts of the world clean water is available only for those who can afford it. Polluted water is the only option for billions of people. This must change. Clean water must be freely and unconditionally available to all people. If it is not, there will be dire consequences that will make our current warfare over petroleum resources seem insignificant. The solution to water availability lies not in expensive corporate distribution systems, but in individual or small scale water filtration systems, and the knowledge of how to build and safely maintain these environmentally sustainable systems to provide uncontaminated water.
note 1: Water can be contaminated by many different things: inorganic chemicals, organic chemicals and compounds; and many different types of viruses and bacterium and it is impossible to test for all of these contaminants without access to expensive elaborate testing facilities. This website and this study must not be interpreted as a cure-all for the ills of water supply problems. The water that goes through these filters is NOT being consumed, and they are NOT part of the plumbing in the dwelling unit nearby; and furthermore, consuming water that goes through any filter is NOT RECOMMENDED without full knowledge of the source of the water and EXACTLY what may or may not be in the source water; and a complete EPA approved test on the water before and after any filtering system used to determine the safety of the water. That said, it must be recognized that even public water supply systems are subject to contamination, 22 40,41 although these systems are continuously monitored for harmful substances by highly qualified technicians. Biological sand (slow sand) filtering is not used in most public water supply systems. Slow sand filters are very efficient at purifying water (they actually remove pathogens) and they are the best and most efficient way of removing cryptosporidum cysts from water without adding chemical poisons. Most public water supply systems in the U.S. do NOT use slow sand filters, they use Chorine or Ozone combined with highly complex mechanical filtration systems to remove particulate matter and inactivate and / or remove pathogens. However, chlorine and Ozone react with organic matter in water and produce cancer causing substances: trihalomethanes (from chlorine), halacetic acid (also known as Acetic acid, dichloro; bichloracetic acid; DCA; dichlorethanoic acid; 2,2-dichloroacetic acid; dichloroethanoic acid; kyselina dichloroctova or Urner's liquid) (also from chlorine) 51 and formaldehyde and ketones (from ozone)23, 24 that are still in the water (at low concentrations) when it arrives at the consumer's plumbing and are VERY harmful if consumed over long periods of time even at low concentrations. Bromide (present in ground water) and chlorine added to kill bacteria plus sunlight equal bromate - a cancer causing chemical. This situation occurred in 2007 in Los Angeles. The Sliver Lake and Elysian Reservoirs had to be drained, refilled and black plastic balls put on top of the water to keep sunlight out.42
note 2 Why is this "good" news? I wasn't going to get political here, but this is so important and teaching is, after all, a political act (Paulo Freire) . . . . Four reasons stand out:
One; Enough water for survival should be free for everyone. It is as necessary for life as air - that one is sort of a no brainer.
Two; If enough people in the city catch rainwater in rain barrels, the load on the storm drains is reduced considerably - and there is less chance of the drains overflowing and spreading contaminated water into the environment before it is treated. This is good news for everyone, as less pollution is washed into streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans during a significant rain event.
Three; In the summer, water can then be conserved by using the stored water for flower gardens, lawns, and if filtered by a slow sand filter, vegetable gardens; thereby significantly reducing the load on the public water supply.
Four (and probably the most important); It appears as though government is finally getting a clue. . . hopefully I'm not wrong about this. Good job Wa. state gov., thank you! Tax dollars well spent this time!
And, speaking of political stuff, who is funding this site, and why is it on the internet? There are no multinational corporations, environmental groups, universities, or political groups involved in the funding of this site. The funding is private, unconditional, and limited to maintaining the domain name and hosting, paying for the epa certified tests; and purchasing parts used to build the filters. If any outside funding, or donations are offered, the conditions will not change - the funding must be unconditional. The website coding, physical work and research are done without any monetary compensation. Every effort is made to assure that unbiased results based on factual evidence and professional testing are presented. Hazards are noted. No guarantees are offered or implied. The creation, maintenance, and content of this site have no connection to any political group. Additionally, this website has no connection whatsoever to any religious group. This site is here because it may be helpful to others.
IMPORTANT: Most raccoons carry a type of parasitic roundworm called Baylisascaris procyonis 43, 44, 45, 46, that causes very serious illness in people. If there are raccoons in your area be aware that your yard may be contaminated. Children are highly at risk. DO NOT use water from a rain barrel, pond or creek unless you are absolutely certain that it is not contaminated. Read the literature cited from the link above (43, 44, ,45) on this issue completely. You have been warned.
Before any water from a non-public utilty monitored slow sand filter is used for drinking on a regular basis, it is HIGHLY recommended that a UV filter be installed permanently in the water line to the point of use, and approval from your local health authority be confirmed. Note that none of the filters described on this website are being used to supply potable water. The water from these filters is NOT being used as drinking water, and furthermore, the operation of any filter is totally the responsibility of the owner/operator. Know that ANYTHING CAN BE IN WATER, and water quality will vary considerably depending on the surroundings. Note: In the past seven or eight months websites describing biological sand filters / slow sand filters have been appearing with instructions recommending BACKWASHING a biological sand filter when the flow rate slows down. Forcefully backwashing a slow sand filter, particularly a small slow sand filter with layers of different sizes of sand, will destroy it. The flow rate is slowed by a buildup of material on the TOP FEW CENTIMETERS of sand. Simply gently agitating this layer and DRAINING OFF the cloudy water is all that needs to be done. These well meaning people have apparently confused rapid sand filtration with biological sand filtration. There are small scale biological sand filters that have been carefully engineered to allow reverse flow of water to clean the filter, but the sand bed is not "fluidized" as it is in the process of "backwashing". 52

Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System
The Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System (TVAAS) measures the impact schools and teachers have on their students' academic progress. TVAAS measures student growth, not whether the student is proficient on the state assessment. TVAAS helps educators identify best practices and implement programs that best meet the needs of their students, as well as make informed decisions about where to focus resources to ensure growth opportunities for all students.
Under Tennessee's teacher evaluation legislation, value-added scores count for a portion of teachers' overall evaluation scores. For teachers who receive an individual growth score (often referred to as teachers in "tested grades and subjects"), value-added scores count for 35 percent of the final evaluation score. For teachers who do not receive an individual growth score (teachers in "non-tested grades and subjects"), the school's value-added score counts as 25 percent of the overall evaluation score.
Value-added reports are available on two sites:
- TVAAS Restricted-Access Site provides reports for teachers, principals and administrators.
- TVAAS Public Site provides school and district level reports for parents and the public.
Both sites provide detail on value-added methodology, descriptions of each report, instructions on how to compare the performance of different schools and systems, and in-depth learning tutorials.
How TVAAS Works
Three Facts about TVAAS
1. TVAAS measures student growth, not whether the student is proficient on the state assessment.
For example, a student who is behind academically may show significant academic growth but not be proficient on the end of year test. Another student may also not be proficient on the end of year test, but not show any growth. The teacher added a lot of value to the first student's academic development (and increased their likelihood of being proficient in 6th grade), and little value to the second student's academic development. TVAAS allows educators to consider their students' achievement (their score on the end of year assessment), as well as their growth (the progress students make year to year).
2. Low-achieving students can grow, and their teachers can earn strong TVAAS scores.
When students grow more than expected, that growth is reflected in a teacher's TVAAS score – regardless of whether the student earned below basic, basic, proficient or advanced on the state assessment. For example, Lucie E. Campbell Elementary, Georgian Hills Elementary, and Treadwell Elementary in Memphis had low achievement scores based on the TCAP, but had very high TVAAS scores.
3. High-achieving students can grow and their teachers can earn strong TVAAS scores.
Just as children grow in height each year, they also grow in academic ability. If a second grader is tall in relation to her peers, she will need to continue to grow each year to be tall relative to her peers in fifth grade. A tall second grader who does not continue to grow will soon be a short fifth grader. Likewise, our highest performing students still have room to grow academically and their teachers can still earn high TVAAS scores. Even students who consistently earn advanced scores can demonstrate growth. For example, in 2013 Williamson County had the highest achievement in the state based on the TCAP. Williamson County teachers also had some of the highest TVAAS scores in the state.

JANESVILLE, WI (WTAQ) - Eight people were rescued from balconies overnight, while their apartment building was on fire in Janesville.
At last word, seven people were taken to a Janesville hospital with smoke inhalation.
Most were expected to be released after immediate treatment.
Fire-fighters were called just after 2:20 this morning.
When they arrived, heavy smoke was coming from one of the apartments – people were trapped on a pair of balconies on the second floor.
Officers had to carry youngsters to warmer surroundings, after they were barefoot in the cold with only their pajamas on.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, but officials said it started in the basement.
A broken water line slowed the spread of the flames.

November 21, 2012, 6:13 AM — The sales pitch for servers in the cloud has always leaned on the word "commodity." You push a button, and voilà, a root password is yours within minutes. The machines in the cloud may not be exactly what you would order if you were filling out a P.O. for your own metal box, but they're probably close enough. The number of options may not be great, but you can choose among enough standard sizes and enough standard operating systems to get approach the ideal. In return for limiting your options, you can click a few buttons and run a machine in less than 180 seconds.
Joyent is a commodity cloud provider, but with a twist. Joyent Cloud offers many of the same basic machine options and standard distro choices you'll find on Amazon and other clouds, but you can also try what Joyent has waiting behind door number two. In addition to Linux and Windows VMs, the company builds custom machines with not-as-common operating systems and calls them appliances. If you decide to go with Joyent's machines, you might find they can be dramatically faster than the commodity server next door, at least when performing standard tasks like answering requests for basic Web pages or data from a database.

The law requires us to:
* Protected Health Information (PHI) is any individually identifiable health information, whether oral, written, electronic, transmitted or maintained in any form or medium that is created or received by a health care provider, a health plan, or a health care clearinghouse; and relates to an individual's past, present, or future physical or mental health condition, health care treatment, or the past, present or future payment for health care services to the individual; and either identifies an individual (for example, name, social security number or medical record number) or can reasonably be used to find out the person's identity (address, telephone number, birth date, e-mail address, and names of relatives or employers).
When releasing your PHI, the FH Affiliates will follow a "Minimum Necessary" standard, whereby we will make reasonable efforts to limit the use and disclosure of your PHI in order to accomplish the intended purpose or job.

If the Froedtert Health Affiliate agrees to the restriction, it will comply with your request unless the information is needed to provide you emergency treatment. We must, however, agree to your request to (1) restrict our disclosure of your PHI to your health plan when you have paid us out-of-pocket in full for the health care item or service we provided you, (2) restrict our disclosure of your immunization data to the Wisconsin Immunization Registry. A request for restriction should be made in writing. To request a restriction, please contact the Health Information/Medical Records Department.

Requests for amending your PHI should be made to the Health Information/Medical Records Department. The Froedtert Health Affiliate that maintains the information will respond to your request within 60 days after you submit the written amendment request form. If we deny your request, we will provide you a written explanation. You may respond with a statement of disagreement to be appended to the information you wanted amended. If we accept your request to amend the information, we will make reasonable efforts to inform others, including people you name, of the amendment and to include the changes in any future disclosures of that information.
Right to a List of Disclosures: You have the right to request a list of instances in which we or our business associates disclosed your PHI for purposes other than treatment, payment, health care operations, disclosures authorized by you or made to you, and certain other activities.

We will notify you of the cost involved, and you may choose to withdraw or modify your request at that time before any costs are incurred.
Right to Request Alternate Means of Communication: You have the right to request that we communicate with you about your PHI in a certain way or at a certain location. We will accommodate all reasonable requests. You must make any such request in writing submitted to the Privacy Officer or designee.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - German regulator Bafin has set an end of August deadline for investors to submit information needed to approve Deutsche Bank's
The consortium originally agreed to buy the Frankfurt-based lender from Deutsche Bank in March 2012, only to see Bafin refuse to approve the deal, citing concerns about BHF's ability to withstand a crisis on a standalone basis.
RHJI beefed up its offer in September 2012 by bringing in more investors including China's Fosun Group <0656.HK>, BMW
Bafin has been evaluating the consortium since.
One of the people familiar with the approval process said on Friday that Bafin had asked asset manager Blackrock
A key concern is whether Blackrock would take part in a capital increase in the event that further funds need to be provided to support BHF, another person familiar with the matter said.
"The regulator doesn't want another problem case," the person said.
RHJI, Blackrock and Deutsche Bank all declined to comment.
A Bafin spokesman declined to comment on whether there was an ultimatum, but said: "We do not have all of the required information. Therefore we cannot evaluate this case."
A successful sale would reduce Deutsche's risk-weighted assets by about 2 billion euros ($2.65 billion), and result in capital gains of around 75 million euros, analysts at Espirito Santo Investment Bank said.
Deutsche Bank has been on the lookout for a buyer since it inherited BHF with its 1 billion euro purchase of Sal. Oppenheim in March 2010. Since then headcount at the lender, which has wealth management, asset management and investment banking operations, has been reduced to around 1,100 from 1,500 staff.
The regulator also scotched Deutsche Bank's initial plan to sell BHF to LGT

by Christine HamiltonThe American Quarter Horse Journal
Coolsified Secret and Jeff D. Habighorst
Jeff Habighorst of Phoenix, Arizona, won the first November 14 finals at the 2013 AQHA World Championship Show, amateur weanling geldings, with Coolsified Secret. By Kid Coolsified and out of Milans Pretty Secret by The Top Secret, the gelding is owned by Jeff's father, Vernon.
"He's very quiet and good to show," Jeff told The American Quarter Horse Journal. "We bought him in September after he won at the Iowa futurity. We (gelded him) and this is the first time that we've shown him. … He stood out there and showed good for me."
Jeff had a busy day with four to show in halter classes. He ended up third in amateur yearling geldings with Be A Gunslinger and in 3-year-old geldings with Boys N Toys, and fifth in 3-year-old fillies with Best To Be Me.
"It was a little hectic to get started this morning, but we got through it," he said and added, "Joe Engle is helping us with the horses, and he's done a great job."
It's Jeff's first world championship, although he's led two reserve world champions. He won the 2010 reserve world champion aged gelding with A Kid By Design (his wife, Wendy, won that year with RPL My Te Cheerful); and he won the 1999 reserve world champion 2-year-old gelding with Im Mister Right.
"(As a youth,) I showed everything – pleasure, reining, halter, horsemanship. I stopped showing in the mid-80s and didn't really show for 15 years," he said.
Jeff works in the family business, Blue Ribbon Custom Tack, based in Phoenix, Arizona; Vernon and his wife, Rita, started it more than 30 years ago. The Habighorsts supply the Quarter Horse industry with custom saddles and tack and horse show awards.
Wendy owns and operates Show Me Again show clothes. Jeff and Wendy have two daughters, Jacey and Jordan.
The Habighorst family has already had a successful World Show. Vernon won the amateur aged geldings November 13 with RPL My Te Cheerful – Wendy, Vernon, and Vernon and Rita's granddaughters, Monica and Kaylee Hamm, have all won world championships with "Henry."
Vernon likes to have quiet geldings, Jeff said, and chances are that Coolsified Secret will be shown by more of the Habighorst extended family.
"It's very nice to finally get one with all the years that I've been showing," Jeff said. "It's nice to get one with a colt I really like."
Jeff said that though the family tends to share the horses, the trophies they earn go home with the showman.
"My dad has a bunch at the store," he said with a smile, "because he kind of ran out of room, I think."
It's your moment; make it last forever! Videos of individual runs and class finals from the AQHA World Championship Show are available for purchase at www.aqha.com/mymoment. Plus, you can watch AQHA World Show video footage 24/7. This new service is optimized for Internet Explorer 10, Safari and most mobile Web browsers.

He made a career-high 11 saves in the double overtime 0-0 draw with USF last Saturday.

The Rutgers men's soccer team was edged by Temple 2-0 back on September 29, 2010 at the Ambler Sports Complex.
Rutgers and Temple played to a scoreless first half with the Scarlet Knights holding an 8-5 edge in shot attempts, however, the Owls found their form, delivering a pair of second-half goals en route to the 2-0 win. Temple outshot Rutgers 13-7 in the second half and it proved to be the difference maker as Tyler Witmer scored goals in the 58th and 82nd minute to clinch the victory.

Individually, sophomore midfielder Mael Corboz is in a four-way tie for fourth in points (15), in a three-way tie for the second in goals (5) and in a three-way tie for fourth in assists (5).

After keeping the game scoreless into double overtime against Bucknell, Greczek followed that performance with 11 saves, not only a career-mark, but the best single-game mark in the conference this season, en route to a 0-0 draw with USF.
Greczek leads The American with 74 saves, and sits in the top ten with four shutouts, 1.25 goals against average, and a .796 save percentage.
