Guest blog post from Nancy Perry, Senior Vice President of ASPCA Government Relations.
Californians, your hard work has paid off! Yesterday, Governor Jerry Brown signed the state's bill to ban hounding (S.B. 1221) into law. The new law bans the practice of releasing radio-collared dogs loose in the woods to chase and tree bears and bobcats, all so trophy "hunters" can shoot the terrified animals down from point-blank range. California now joins the more than 30 states that do not permit this blatant and needless form of animal cruelty.
We started work early on this legislation, partnering with the many groups and shelters that attended our 2012 California Humane Lobby Day. Hundreds of advocates flooded the Capitol, where we held a rally for the hound dogs and wildlife—and of course, hound hunters showed up to oppose us and the ban. They were determined to preserve this unsporting pastime despite ample evidence of the grotesque abuses inherent to hounding.
Even under such pressure, humane voices won the day. Every time we asked for your help, you responded in full force. Your work has changed your state forever and made it a safer haven for thousands of animals. If you live in California, please take a moment to thank Governor Brown.
In addition to the hounding ban, Governor Brown signed two other great bills for companion animals:
Declawing/devocalization (S.B. 1229): Landlords are now expressly prohibited from discouraging potential tenants from applying for housing if their pets are not declawed or devocalized.
Cost of care in animal abuse cases (S.B. 1500): This measure clarifies existing law so that anyone accused of animal abuse must provide for the cost of care for animals seized from them. This helps shelters tremendously, and also helps ensure that animals will not end up back in the hands of their abusers.
As a California native, I was thrilled to join our California advocates in-person and work on this legislation! But I'm excited to announce that we now have Sacramento-based Kevin O'Neill, our new Western Region State Legislative Director, aboard to guide us as we take on new challenges in California, Oregon, Washington and Nevada. Welcome, Kevin—may this be just the beginning of great things from your states!

What's for Dinner? #215 - Are We All Ready For Fresh Green Things? [OLD]
Hoping we're all inching, every so steadily, toward good weather and fresh garden fare. What's on your plate tonight?
i know we are. We had some asparagus tonight - probably not local - but it tasted wonderful even so. They were a side to the BF's fabulous chicken dish - he took bone-on/skin-on thighs, deboned, but kept the skin intact. pounded them as much as he could, seared them quickly to get the skin a bit crisp, the meat a bit browned. then he found he hadn't been able to get them thin enough to roll, so he sliced them, making a pocket, stuffed them with blue cheese, tied them up, and rolled our fancy bacon around them. put them in the oven at high heat for a little while until cooked through. FABULOUS. so cheesy and smokey.... they weren't uber-pretty, but they tasted awesome. alongside were roasted potatoes with some of the blue cheese that melted out, and the caramelized chicken juices over them. i think it's pretty safe to say that i'm neither low-carbing nor counting points right now... thank god it was No Diet Day.
re: mariacarmen
Wow, inspired meal!!!
re: GretchenS
Think I may head out to Wilson Farms for some of their asparagus myself! Not cheap at $5.99 a pound though.
re: Berheenia
They've got their own asparagus in? But that is an ouchie price. They're too far for me to drive to now, but I'll have to check out some farms in my area, although I think most are still bringing stuff in.
re: mariacarmen
That sounds wonderful -- and very inventive!
re: mariacarmen
Very nice!
re: mariacarmen
The asparagus I bought this week is still not local... but it came from So Cal at least... no more mexican asparagus! This dinner looks quite delectable.
re: mariacarmen
Looks fantastic! Beautiful plate.
re: alliegator
aw, thanks everyone!
he was saying he needs to perfect his technique, because the thigh didn't flatten out as much as the breast would have, so that he could roll it, but we both like dark meat much better - so much juicier, more flavorful, less chance of drying out.
re: mariacarmen
Wow that meal looks so good. I couldn't agree more about the dark meat. It is much harder to screw up and is much tastier.
re: suzigirl
I used to be chicken breast girl and even though I have managed to make them moist at home, no matter how moist, recently whenever I bite into any chicken breast it's too dry for me...even fried chicken! Thighs are wonderful!
re: mariacarmen
That's crazy...I made a list of meal possibilities the other day, and chicken breasts stuffed with gorgonzola (and maybe some minced mushrooms and shallots) and wrapped in bacon was on there. Funny. Looks good!
re: mariacarmen
I made similar stuffed chicken breasts a few weeks ago and this is an amazing combination. I added caramleized onions inside and on top and it was divine! Happy No Diet Day to you!
re: fldhkybnva
i remember! i made those pesto chicken roll-ups that juliejulez linked us to with breasts, and they were good, but nowhere near as juicy.
re: mariacarmen
Actually, recently I have been turning to pesto a lot for stuffed chicken since it keeps it moist. Pesto or some sort of pork product - bacon, pancetta :)
A friend is in need of some comfort so even though the temps are warming up I decide to make her favorite-pot roast. I am glad to use it up too and that was the one cut we didn't use up as quickly from last year's cow. I kept thinking of it as a "winter meal" and never started using it until well into late fall.
I seared the beef this AM and put it in my crock pot along with some porcini mushrooms, red wine, a chopped onion, carrots, fresh thyme, rosemary and plenty of S&P. When I get home tonight I will whip up some mashed potatoes and steam the last of the fresh asparagus my husband brought back. I was going to bring the meal to her but she wants out of the house so her family will all join us for dinner. Should be a nice night!
re: foodieX2
I think this will be a nice meal for your friend and her family, foodie. Love the combination of the mushrooms, red wine and thyme and rosemary.
re: foodieX2
re: Berheenia
I need to get that mind set! I think we had some version of pot roast a couple of times a month this winter. A 1/2 cow produces a lot of roasts and when you don't start using it up that's all you end up with!
re: foodieX2
I love pot roast year-round. I'm sure your friend will enjoy and be very appreciative.
Phew, it's a scorcher! Temperatures nudge 25.
A salad is called for. Prawns have been marinating since last night, in olive oil, lemon juice, ginger, fennel and shallots.
They'll be drained off and remixed with mayo, spiked with a little Tabaso. They'll go on shredded Cos lettuce and topped with diced tomatoes (skinned and seeded, of course), sliced black olives and more shallots. Herself has been weaving her witchcraft again - by which I mean she's baked bread. It's the one she calls her Italian loaf - a recipe from Gennaro Contaldo.
Oh, and today may be all we get of summer. Apparently cold and rain return tomorrow for the foreseeable future.
re: pikawicca
I'm obsessed with morels lately, especially in cream sauce. They keep cropping up on restaurant menus here in the most tantalizing permutations. Siiigh.
re: pikawicca
Holey moley! Now I REALLY appreciate the 1/3# a local restauranteur gave me today. Whew.
Gray and rainy here today. I'm not sure yet about dinner. I have some Chinese eggplant I'd like to use so I'll probably google around at lunch. I need to sign up for Eat Your Books.
Last night I was solo - spouse and kids at boy scouts. I had a steamed artichoke which was delicious.
re: tcamp
My favorite prep for Chinese eggplant is fried with garlic sauce. Here's a "healthified" version that steams then sautees the eggplant. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9Q1uP...
re: ChristinaMason
That looks good! My eggplant are still waiting at home. Kids really wanted burritos last night so I made those instead. I will try this tonight.
re: ChristinaMason
I made this last night. So easy and delicious. I had the leftovers for breakfast. I'm looking forward to checking out more recipes on her channel.

As evidence linking pollutants and cancer becomes increasingly clear, scientists around the world are calling for something to be done — and they're getting downright pushy about it.
Well maybe not pushy, exactly. But definitely pointed and impatient as they urge policymakers to take steps now to protect us from chemicals that cause cancer.
Childhood. Cancer. These two words should have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Childhood is about exploration and discovery, joyful learning about the world around us. Cancer is about fear, roller coasters of painful treatment and hopeful remission, and all too often, death.
Yet the two words are indeed linked. Childhood cancers — including brain cancer and leukemia — have been on a steady rise in this country for the last 20 years. And increased exposure to cancer-causing chemicals is known to be one of the reasons behind this horrifying trend. It's time to turn the numbers around.
Washington DC is a funny place.
On the one hand, the energy and excitement of power is palpable: decisions are made here that affect people across the country and around the world. Smart people of all stripes dedicate themselves to creating, influencing, critiquing or reporting on policies that shape our society.
For the past month, pink ribbons have been everywhere — along with bracelets, shoes, t-shirts, even pink KFC buckets.
Yet for all this colorful breast cancer awareness, somehow we're still not talking about one of the key things we can do to prevent the disease: stop eating, drinking and breathing cancer-causing chemicals.
Every October, The Breast Cancer Fund updates State of the Evidence. The report examines the latest on what scientists know about the links between chemicals in the environment and breast cancer. The 2010 edition is chock full of information on how pesticides and other chemicals (in food packaging, cosmetics, health care products, household cleaners and more) are contributing to our breast cancer epidemic.

Feb. 22, 2007 -- Drinking spearmint tea may spur a hormonal shift that helps women curb unwanted hair (hirsutism), a Turkish study shows.
If confirmed in other studies, spearmint may become an alternative to hormonal treatments for the condition, write the researchers at Suleyman Demirel University's medical school in Isparta, Turkey.
Mehmet Akdogan and colleagues studied 21 hirsute women seen at their endocrinology clinic.
Twelve of the women had polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal condition that often involves hirsutism. The cause of the hirsutism was unclear in the other nine women.
The researchers asked the women to drink spearmint tea twice a day for five days. The tea was brewed by pouring boiling water over a heaping teaspoon of dried spearmint leaves.
Blood tests showed that the women's levels of androgens -- hormones that include testosterone -- dipped after drinking the spearmint tea for the five days.
It's normal for women to have androgens, but having high androgen levels and hair follicles that are sensitive to androgen can lead to hirsutism, Akdogan's team notes.
The hormonal shift the women experienced after drinking spearmint tea might reduce hirsutism, the researchers say.
However that's not certain, since the study lasted only five days and didn't include any before-and-after measurements of the women's excess hair.
The study appears in the "Early View" online edition of Phytotherapy Research.

Austin Mahone has a Secret (Updated 6/12/2014)
Attention world: Austin Mahone would like everyone to know he's over the 'obnoxious' comparisons to Justin Bieber. And in case you didn't get the memo, he's likely to keep reminding you that the two are nothing alike.
In a new series of interviews to promote his latest EP "The Secret," Mahone went on a brief rant about Bieber when he said, "I can kind of see where they're coming from, but at the same time, it's kind of obnoxious. They see a young kid who sings and dances and … they're like 'Oh another Justin Bieber. Like you don't even know. You don't know me. You don't know my music. You're just making assumptions."
Sure, Mahone and the Biebs both got their start on YouTube. And yes, the two recently collaborated together. But Mahone is insisting that the similarities end there (and with Bieber's multiple run-ins with the law, who can blame him?) Still, it's clearly getting under Mahone's skin that he's constantly referred to as a Bieber knock-off. Thus, the 18-year-old pop sensation would like everyone to, well, knock it off.
The teen hunk pop has been going non-stop recently to promote "The Secret," which features the smash single "Mmm Yeah" with Pitbull. In fact, Mahone has collaborated with some of the top artists and producers in the industry on the new project. He'll take the new music on the road as part of a huge national headlining tour with The Vamps and special guests Fifth Harmony and Shawn Mendes. The trek will hit 26 cities across North America this summer with more dates to be announced.
Is Austin Mahone the next Justin Bieber? (Created August 2, 2013)
Teen sensation Austin Mahone made a name for himself a lot like other musicians these days – online videos that quickly went viral. But this born and raised Texan isn't exactly sporting a cowboy hat and armed with a southern drawl. Instead, he's taking over the pop scene one song at a time.
So what if Mahone has been compared to his predecessor Justin Bieber? The San Antonio native will take it as a complement, especially with millions of his own Twitter followers and Facebook fans, and 90 million views of his videos on YouTube. There's also one thing he's accomplished that Bieber hasn't – in September 2011, Mahone debuted at No. 38 on the Billboard Social 50 chart, the youngest ever to appear on the list. He rose to No. 28 just three months later.
Mahone's success may be surprising to some, given that he never considered himself very musical growing up. But when he first started posting videos to YouTube in 2010 with the help of his friend, he immediately attracted an online following. He even posted a cover of Bieber's "Mistletoe" in 2011 that had teenage girls swooning across the country.
By August 2012 Mahone announced that he had signed a record deal and went to work recording his first single "11:11." It peaked on the Billboard Hotseekers chart at No. 19, and his second single "Say Somethin" crossed onto the Billboard Pop Songs chart. The success not only landed him gigs like playing the first Q102 Springle Ball music concert, he also sang at the B96 SummerBash in Chicago and in New York City.
Mahone was recently chosen as one of the opening acts of Taylor Swift's Red Tour, as well as Bridgit Mendler's Summer Tour with selected dates.
Austin Mahone to Have a 'Banga' Tour This Summer
Can you hear the Mahomies screaming? Austin Mahone made a big announcement last week on Z100's Elvis Duran and the Morning Show (on the same day as his 18th birthday, natch): his debut release, called The Secret, will be released on May 27, and to support to record, he'll be hitting the road to support…Read more

Rated 4.6 out of 5�by 66 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by keld beware shrink! We bought these socks for our 11 year old boy. There was initial concern the socks were going to be way too big. After washing they fit just right, but I have to say the shrinkage was considerable. The socks are nice and thick and are holding up well so far (approx. 6 wears). August 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Karie Jordan socks are decent The socks are decent, but not as nice as Nike Elite or Under Armour. They fit a little tighter than the other brands we typically buy at the same size. Next time we will buy next size up for this brand. But overall, it is a nice sock. November 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by rayhawk Jordan socks My son loves his socks. He says they are soft and loss cool. November 5, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5�by Condor Comfy cozy socks Fits great. Nice colors. Air Jordan is the best. Don't know what else to say. They are making me write more. so it goes thru. September 16, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by Zigman 3/4 sock The sock would've been a bigger success IF the weaving was similar to the elite brand/model. Just seemed to feel flat on the foot without any significant cushioning March 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Doe Doe Mana AWESOME SOCKS These sock are very great. They are very comfortable and and keep your feet cool. Although they are awesome I do think they should cost 14$ instead of 16$. January 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Zozboy Perfection I love them, they don't after more than 5 uses 'like Under Amour'. They're amazing. 'They fit just like a nike elite sock does.' January 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by IjjamPro Great Sock Jordan brand did a great job with Nike's dri-fit signature technology. Although to me the cushioning is a little thin. I would still recommend it for those who favor the mildly cushioned sock. December 26, 2013

2. Optimizing time and money.
Our belief in the importance of Integrated Telecom Management ® was the foundation by which Tellennium's Integrated Management System (TIMS) was built. Tellennium's Integrated Management System ® (TIMS) is our custom built proprietary comprehensive SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) web application that can be customized for up to 65,000 users per company. Our telecom expense management platform is designed to proactively assist our clients with the continuous management of their telecom processes and expenses. TIMS allows the users, based on their credentialing, access from anywhere to view enterprise-level charges, circuit information, historical data, images of actual invoices, and more – for their entire company, division, region, location or circuit/phone number. TIMS effectively addresses the burden of reviewing and verifying vast amounts of telecom expense data into an accurate and manageable process.
According to CFO Magazine, three key reasons why industry, government, and education outsource telecom expense management services are:
The fact is most organizations have a mountain of telecom invoices that are received every month to the tune of being the third largest expense. Telecom costs include local, long distance, wide area networks, mobile, Internet access, cable/satellite, and equipment. These expenses come in the form of paper invoices as well as CDs, online access, many with a minimum of 25 reports that have no correlation to what is needed for a proper evaluation. Most of the individuals that sign off for payment wear thirty other hats and do not have the time nor the tools to investigate every individual charge. Many questions arise as to how efficient an organization's telecom management is:
Today's ever-changing telecom charges are often inaccurate, complicated, and fraudulent. Without centralized sophisticated software tools and well-defined processes, enterprises cannot possibly manage telecom expenses effectively. Tellennium's makes it simple, by providing you with one secure SaaS based web portal reduces the time required to acquire any information about your telecom services, vendors, expenses, contracts, equipment and it will even process invoices, mobile device procurement and optimize your plans/configurations.

i believe the best way to cut open an oil drum is to use some method that doesnt create sparks. I always cut them open with my cheapy little harbor freight air powered sheet metal shear. All it requires is a quarter inch pilot hole and an air line. very neat very clean and in some cases the oil in th drum helps the cut move a little faster. Ive made probably a hundred Q pits out of 55 gal tranny fluid drums and havent had one explode yet.

Thanks for all the responses.
No sparks sounds like a good option. I don't have an air shear (I'd love to get one though) but I do have a jigsaw. I don't suppose that would be 100% spark free but I think after a good wash out with oil cutting soap it will be plenty safe.
Thanks again. I'll be sure to post pics when it's up and running.
mill3rman3 lets see some pic's. i got a few barrels to play with.
I don't have an air shear (I'd love to get one though)
you could get a cheap nibbler at HF for this as the barrels are thin it should be fine. i got one that runs off a drill that has cut much thicker stuff.thanks for the help
hope i helped

When cutting vegetable oil drums....
I, like yourself, needed to cut open an 55 gallon drum that contained vegetable oil (soybean oil in this case). Here is some of the pertinent information I gleaned reflecting what is mentionned on an MSDS sheet for Soybean and almond oil.
First you need to know what is the flash point
The flash point of a volatile liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in air.
For soybean oil, it's 367 F (186 oC) and almond oil, it's greater than 400 F (204 oC)
(Compare this to 122 F (49 oC) for WD-40 - you'll hit the flashpoint on a scorching summer day)!!
Thus, if you are planning on cutting an veg-oil drum in which the oil is heated to at least 367 F, it is likely that volatile vapours will be generated and that sparks could very well cause an explosion.
"Sparks can reach temperatures between 520 to 570 degrees C, and in the
case of steel, they are capable of reaching
temperatures up to 1400 degrees C." From...
With arc welding you'll likely generate temperatures of 6000 degrees celsius, with oxy-acetylene, about 3000 degrees celsius.
As is obvious from the comparison mentionned earlier, vegetable oil, is not as easily combustible in normal conditions as WD-40.
However, as we have seen from the information provided above, if the conditions are right, you could set off an explosion, yes, even with vegetable oil. (A student just died in a oil-drum-cutting exercise at a local highschool in Ottawa, Canada. I can't speculate, but from the information, this is not an accident, but a preventable occurence.)
What I did to ensure the dangerous conditions were not met while cutting my vegetable oil drum were as follows..
Pour out any remaining oil and discard it appropriately.
Wash the veg-oil out with dishsoap and warm water (once or twice)
Rinse several times.
Cut-pilot holes with drill
cut out desired shape with a Reciprocating saw (little or no sparks).
Presto! you have your cut out veg-oil drum.
I have even welded on such a prepared drum as well without incident.
(But there was no oil to create vapours + the vapours would not have been confined as there was a gaping hole in the drum at this point)
But again, I stress that this was with what I believe to be a properly prepared metal container that did not contain an extremely volatile liquid in the first place.
Everything changes if you are dealing with something other than vegetable oil.
Figure out how to do it properly or don't do it at all.
Thanks, I hope this has helped someone.

I wouldn't do it.
There are places that recycle 55gal drums, they steam clean them and then they heat them and hold them at high temp for a set period of time to burn out residuals. You can buy a drum from them for about $8 to $10 around here. Why cut a drum your not sure about when you can buy one of theres. I personally know of two guy killed by 55gal drums and one of them was just using the thing as a bench.

hey man some pics or your setup plan for this would be a great place for me to start only difference is my barrel used to contain axle grease the up side is this eliminates cleaning because the grease is in a plastic liner the down side is i have to seal the end with the 2 bungs because it comes completely off. My idea was to make a grill/smoker and was looking for a way to accomplish this
I don't get the point of anyone cutting the barrels without taking both bungs out. Bung wrenches are cheap, compared to a barrel exploding.

In the post-9/11 era, immigration policy increasingly has intersected with civil liberties and national security imperatives, with significant implications for law enforcement and intelligence agencies as they share more information with each other and with allied governments as well as for immigrants and immigrant communities. The research here examines the increased use of interoperable databases, expanded international information-sharing partnerships, and the civil liberties implications of the increased nexus between immigration enforcement agencies and those in the criminal law enforcement and intelligence communities.

From the size of that bowl you showed me yes you can!!!! :p
From the size of that bowl you showed me yes you can!!!! :p
See.....you are strutting like a **** again!! Where did you go? I got some chicken feed for ya!Originally posted by #1 Jets Fan
I'll take the bet, but when the Jets win the AFC east I'm allowed back on. How that for a bet?
***Unleash the Killer DOLPHINS***
Ok Jets fan, here is a bet for you. I will bet you that the Jets will lose to the Steelers, if you bet me that the Colts will lose to Miami. Or better yet, how about if the Steelers beat the Jets, then the Colts will lose in Miami?
If a train is heading out of New York traveling at 75 MPH, and at the same time another train is heading out of New Jersey at 74 MPH, and both trains are going to Miami...does it really matter what time they both arrive, or is the important thing that these poor slobs are getting away from Jet country?
I will bet you ONE MILLION DOLLARS that Miadphan could beat you in a story writing contest.
The title of your thread here is correct I AM RIGHT.
Suck an Egg
After reading Dolfan87's intellectual post, Jets fan's head spun out of control and eventually exploded. :eek: Shockingly enough, there wasn't much mess, but most of us weren't surprised at all.
I appreciate your compliment 87, but to beat Jets fan in a writing contest wouldn't be much of a feat. I was more interested in solving your math word problem.
AHHH yes Maidphan, tis why I bet him 1 million dollars. See I just KNEW you would be able to smoke him, thus my exuberant bet.
You know, I was simply trying to back up my smack talk with an actual dollar amount. However, I highly doubt the small brain actually has a million dollars. Just a drop in the bucket to me though...excuse me while I wake up.
You may want to sleep a little longer. It sounds like a nice dream.
you are so desperate for somebody to bet with you. ok, how about i bet i can whip ya and dick ya, before you can throw me and blow me!

I've noticed something else about this trend. It seems to be more pronounced in people who 1) watch a whole lot of Fox News or 2) are Tea Partiers. Admittedly, they are frequently one in the same, but there seems to be a dramatic spike in them in terms of percent of the general population who see 'facts' as relative.
This is not to say we don't all do this. We do. But for most of us it is about little things. Even though I am trying to lose weight, I sometimes have piece of cake after dinner and tell myself that it really won't hurt my efforts. Well, that simply isn't true - it will.
My problem is with those who have moved this human tendency from a convenient way to justify relatively harmless, everyday happenings to a way to justify what they want to be facts in the face of actual facts.
A friend asked me, "Why do you keep Xing out Christ in Christmas?" I explained that I wasn't Xing out Christ, rather I was substituting the English approximation for the Greek Chi, as in Chi Rho like the ancient symbol representing Christ that uses the first two letters in the Greek word for Christ - Christos (Χριστός). "Well," he says, "I think you are Xing out Christ." "I'm not," I explained, "I am honoring the original language of the New Testament and the royal title from which we take our nomenclature for "Christian.'"
This went on and on until he said, "You are crossing out Jesus' name and I find it offensive. You should stop doing it." I had so many problems with what he had just said that I didn't even know where to begin, so I simply said, "Look, stop trying to tell me what I'm doing. I've tried explained why I do it and you continue to insist that you are right despite the facts." At which point he said, "I don't care about the facts. I know what I know and you need to stop it."
Well, how do you even begin to argue with that kind of...um, that kind of ...logic(?). Can you even call it logic?
It worries me because we are de-evolving into a society where there is an increasingly unlikely chance that solid critical thinking and respectful debate will be used to come to resolutions and to help us make the best choices moving forward. Critical thinking and intellectual debate are the foundations of modern progress. Invention, discovery and advancement happen because of them.
The lack of willingness from a large portion of society to engage in them point me to a slowing of progress.... which is exactly what Conservatives would like to see. Lack of progress means lack of change, which means those who currently have power in this increasing plutocratic nation will continue to have power and increase in it.
The problem is they are looking at the short game. What good is all that power if the means of getting it halts progress in a significant way? In the long game, it will cause you to fall behind and soon you will be the most powerful people in a nation with surprisingly little power.
Now personally, I'm all for it. Christianity, while for everyone, is certainly biased against the powerful (particularly the powerful who abuse their power), but I can't help but think that no longer having power and influence is a thing that strikes fear into The Christian Right and many conservatives.
It certainly is easier to influence the masses once you convince them that critical thinking and facts are negotiable at best and not needed at worst. It makes manipulation through fear, misinformation and emotional hyperbole all the more easy, but it also puts our great nation at risk over the long run as it will cause us to fall further and further behind the rest of the world relegating us to nothing more the the world's schoolyard bully.
Facts, then, are patriotic and those who deny them and substitute their own desires for them are threatening this nation and should be treated much like we would treat anyone who puts us at risk.

Brereton named ETSU Women's Soccer assistant
Thursday, June 02, 2011
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (June 2, 2011) - ETSU women's soccer head coach Adam Sayers announced the addition of former Middle Tennessee State University standout Debs Brereton to the women's soccer coaching staff on Thursday.
Brereton joins the Buccaneer women's soccer staff as an assistant coach after spending the last three seasons as a graduate assistant on the Blue Raider women's soccer staff. She was involved in various aspects of the program from player development to on-field training at MTSU.
While working on the Blue Raider staff, Brereton helped guide the 2010 team to the program's first ever NCAA Tournament appearance as MTSU won the Sun Belt Conference Tournament after finishing second in the league with a 9-2 record.
"We are very excited that Debs has joined our staff," Sayers said. "She has excelled and won championships as a player and a coach at this level, so her experience will be a great asset to our program. Not only is she a very knowledgeable coach, but she is a great role model for all young female players. Her hiring completes our staff and we are now very focused on planning for this fall and beyond."
Brereton played just one season for Middle Tennessee in 2004 after transferring from Northeastern State, but that one season proved to be one of the greatest in program history. She became the program's first - and only - Sun Belt Player of the Year after setting what was then the school record for goals in a season with 19. She also set the then single-season points record with 47, and her nine assists also are tied for fourth on the single-season chart. Though she played for just one season at Middle Tennessee, Brereton still is among career leaders for points and goals, ranking ninth in each category.
In 2004, she not only was named the Sun Belt's Player of the Year, but she also earned first-team All-Sun Belt accolades and was named to the All-Sun Belt Tournament Team. Brereton was a three-time Sun Belt Player of the Week in 2004 - the most ever by a Blue Raider player in a season.
Her strong play helped lead Middle Tennessee to a share of the 2004 Sun Belt championship, its first conference title. She was named to the Sun Belt's 30-year Anniversary Team and earned a spot on the Soccer Buzz All-Central Region Team.
Prior to accepting the GA position at MTSU, Brereton served as an assistant soccer coach at Christian Brothers University in Memphis, Tenn., for the 2007 campaign.
Brereton played three seasons in the W-League and the WPSL prior to starting her coaching career. She led the San Diego Sunwaves to the W-League Western Conference Championship in 2007 as they went 8-3-1.
A native of Middlesbrough, England, Brereton led the WPSL's Tennessee Lady Blues with seven goals in six matches in 2006, helping them finish second in the Midwest Division. In 2005, she scored three goals in two games for the W-League's Hampton Roads Piranhas before suffering a season-ending injury.
Brereton owns a UEFA Level Two Coaching License, as well as a USSF National "C" License. This spring, Brereton earned a Master of Science in Health and Human Performance with a concentration in Recreation from MTSU. She completed her eligibility at Middle Tennessee in 2004 and earned her bachelor's degree in 2005.

Drug information provided by: Micromedex
Hydroxyurea is used to treat skin cancer (melanoma), a cancer of the white blood cells called chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML), and metastatic cancer (cancer that has spread) of the ovaries. This medicine may also be given together with radiation treatment for head and neck cancer (primary squamous cell cancer).
Hydroxyurea is also used in adult patients with sickle cell anemia to prevent painful episodes and reduce the need for blood transfusions. It works by making the red blood cells more flexible.
Hydroxyurea will interfere with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal body cells may also be affected, other unwanted effects will also occur. Some of these effects may be serious and must be reported to your doctor.
Before you begin treatment with hydroxyurea, you and your doctor should talk about the good this medicine will do as well as the risks of using it.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of hydroxyurea in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of hydroxyurea in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related kidney problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving hydroxyurea.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is not recommended. Your doctor may decide not to treat you with this medication or change some of the other medicines you take.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
Take this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not use more of it, do not use it more often, and do not use it for a longer time than your doctor ordered.
This medicine comes with a patient information insert. Read and follow the instructions in the insert carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.
Hydroxyurea should be handled with care and people who are not taking this medicine should be careful to avoid touching it. To decrease the chance of touching the medicine:
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that this medicine is working properly. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
Make sure your doctor knows if you are pregnant before you use this medicine. Using this medicine while you are pregnant can harm your unborn baby. If you think you have become pregnant while using the medicine, tell your doctor right away.
While you are being treated with hydroxyurea, and after you stop using it, do not have any immunizations (vaccines) without your doctor's approval. Hydroxyurea may lower your body's resistance and there is a chance you might get the infection the vaccine is meant to prevent. In addition, other persons living in your household should not get live vaccines (eg, nasal flu vaccine, measles, mumps, or rubella) since there is a chance they could pass the infection on to you. Also, avoid persons who have had a live vaccine. Do not get close to them and do not stay in the same room with them for very long. If you cannot take these precautions, you should consider wearing a protective face mask that covers the nose and mouth.
Hydroxyurea can temporarily lower the number of white blood cells in your blood, increasing the chance of getting an infection. It can also lower the number of platelets, which are necessary for proper blood clotting. If this occurs, there are certain precautions you can take, especially when your blood count is low, to reduce the risk of infection or bleeding:
Using this medicine for a long time may increase your risk of developing cancer of the blood (leukemia). Talk to your doctor if you have concerns about this risk.
This medicine may cause temporary loss of hair in some people. After treatment has ended, normal hair growth should return, although the new hair may be a slightly different color or texture.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
Get emergency help immediately if any of the following symptoms of overdose occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

The Black River is located in north-central Ohio and drains over 467 square miles (1,210 km2) of land. Although flowing primarily in Lorain County the watershed does include drainage from Medina, Ashland, Huron and Cuyahoga Counties. Fifty-one percent of the land within the AOC is used for agriculture, while only 1% is truly industrial. Between these two extremes are rural (38%), urban residential (7%) and commercial land (3%). Over the past few decades, water and sediment quality have improved in the Black River. The contaminated sediments were remedially dredged and impacts from point sources (factories, waste water treatment plants, etc.) have been significantly reduced. Now, the Black River, like many major rivers across the country, is being threatened by major nonpoint source impacts coming from the entire watershed. These impacts are caused by the way the landscape is used for urban, suburban and rural activities. Land disturbances associated with high residential growth rate and intensive agricultural practices are a particular problem. The predominately agricultural sub-basins in the upper Black River watershed are witnessing more than 20% of their land eroding at a rate of 5 tons/acre/year or more. Over 17,000 acres are eroding at "excessive" levels in these areas with cropland accounting for 82% of this number.
Properly managing urban, suburban and rural land use practices throughout the Black River Area of Concern including the enhancement and protection of the riparian corridors and wetlands will improve the quality and productivity of this valuable natural resource.
Originally, the Black River Area of Concern (AOC) only included the lower mainstem. This stretch was designated an AOC because discharges from the many industrial operations on the lower river had contaminated the river sediments with heavy metals and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The PAHs came from a steel mill coking operation that had closed a decade earlier and had severely impacted the health of the resident fish communities. Around the Great Lakes, the Black River was known as the "River of Fish Tumors."
During development of the RAP Coordinating Committee, a decision was made to expand the Area of Concern to include the entire watershed in order to address the impacts and pollutant loads coming from the upstream areas. Of the four RAP areas located in the State of Ohio, the Black River is the only Area of Concern (AOC) that encompasses an entire watershed.
Beneficial Use Impairments
- Restrictions on fish and wildlife consumption
- Eutrophication or undesirable algae
- Restrictions on drinking water consumption, or taste and odor
- Degradation of fish and wildlife populations
- Beach closings
- Fish tumors or other deformities (in recovery)
- Degradation of aesthetics
- Degradation of benthos
- Restriction on dredging activities
- Loss of fish and wildlife habitat
In the Black River Remedial Action Plan Stage 1 Report, the RAP Coordinating Committee identified several beneficial use impairments in the Black River AOC. The Bird or Animal Deformities or Reproductive Problems use impairment was listed as Unknown because of a lack of available local data concerning this beneficial use. The Degradation of Phytoplankton and Zooplankton Populations was listed as Unknown because the RAP felt there was insufficient protocol for the determination of impairment status for this beneficial use.
For further information and details on all of the BUIs, see a corresponding Black River AOC Beneficial Use Impairments (PDF 83Kb 3 pages) document and the Remedial Action Plan (RAP) documents listed in the Significant RAP Milestones section below.
Delisting Targets
The Black River RAP has adopted the Delisting Targets for Ohio Areas of Concern (PDF 1.70Mb 85 pages) (PDF Ohio EPA, June, 2005).
RAP Development and Status
In September 1991, the Ohio EPA director appointed a local planning group to assist the Ohio EPA in the preparation of the Black River RAP. This local planning group, named the Black River Remedial Action Plan Coordinating Committee (PDF 29Kb 1 page), (BRCC), includes members representing local public agencies, state and federal agencies, industries and private commercial groups and citizen representatives. The BRCC was to develop the Black River RAP and submit it to the Ohio EPA for subsequent submittal to the International Joint Commission. The BRCC was given a plan development role, not simply a public advisory role. The Black River RAP Stage One Report was completed in April 1994. The Black River RAP Strategic Long Range Plan (Stage Two Plan) was completed in March 1997. Preparation of the Black River RAP Annual Reports are done by the BRCC noted above, with assistance from the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA), which provides secretariat and planning support to the RAP. The Ohio EPA also provides planning support to the RAP. The RAP chair resides with the Lorain County General Health District. Technical and implementation work is conducted through various work groups established around specific issue areas. The Black River RAP has been identified by the International Joint Commission as a Great Lakes Area of Concern "Beacon" where notable achievements resulted in real progress.
Significant RAP Milestones
- 2005: The Black River RAP submits A Request for the Delisting of the Degradation of Benthos Beneficial Use Impairment in the East Branch of the Black River (PDF 159Kb 3 pages) to the US EPA and receives approval for the delisting. The RAP requested this delisting in order to protect the gains made in the rapidly developing East Branch.
- 2004: The Black River RAP is the first RAP organization in Ohio to demonstrate significant improvement by redesignating the Fish Tumors and Other Deformities use impairment from Impaired to in Recovery Phase (PDF 40Kb 1 page).
- 2004: A 21-year Contact Advisory (PDF 36Kb 1 page) for the lower mainstem of the Black River is lifted by the Ohio Department of Health. The Contact Advisory was posted in 1983 due to the high incidence of fish tumors due to polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination. The PAH contamination was a legacy of an old steel mill coking operation. The river sediments in that stretch of the river were remedially dredged in 1989-1990.
- 1997: Black River RAP Long Range Plan (Stage Two) adopted.
- 1996: Black River RAP Riparian Corridor Resolution adopted.
- 1994: Black River RAP Stage One Report completed.
- 1991: Black River RAP Coordinating Committee formed.
- 1990: The Black River is identified as a Great Lakes Area of Concern
RAP Implementation
Recent progress and achievements
- 2004: The Black River RAP, through funding from the Lorain County General Health District, begins development of a new video entitled A Hidden Treasure: Rediscovering the Black River. This video is an update to an earlier RAP video, Black River, A Future as Dark as its Name?
- 2003: Through assistance in securing funding from the Black River RAP, the City of Elyria waste water treatment plant started a Mercury Reduction Program that has been expanded to include all of Lorain County.
- 2002: The Black River RAP launches a web based Virtual Tour of the Black River Watershed
- 2002: An innovative Fish Habitat Shelf is constructed on the Black River mainstem at the Lorain Port Authority's Black River Landing Site, an old brownfield site. The habitat shelf was developed by the Port Authority with help from the Black River RAP and shows immediate success in luring fish to the location by providing in-stream habitat, spawning areas and shelter for young-of-year fish.
- 2001: The Black River RAP partners with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Buffalo District Office to conduct an extensive habitat survey, of the French Creek subwatershed. A French Creek specific watershed guide, Living Along French Creek, A User's Guide (PDF 762Kb 24 pages) is produced and sent to subwatershed landowners and decision-makers.
- 1998: The Black River RAP and the International Joint Commission co-sponsored a public symposium in Lorain entitled "Protecting What's Been Gained in the Black River."
The Black River RAP Awards:
- 2004: The Black River RAP receives the Lake Erie Award from the Ohio Lake Erie Commission for "its outstanding contributions towards the restoration of its waterway and protecting Ohio's Great Lake."
- 1998: The Black River RAP received a RAP Achievement Award from the International Joint Commission.
- 1998: The Black River RAP was awarded a Merit of Honorable Mention in the Natural Resource Category at the Northern Ohio Live Awards of Achievement Reception.
Current projects and outlook
Properly managing urban, suburban and rural land use practices along
the Black River through protection of the riparian corridor will
improve the quality and productivity of this valuable natural
resource. Recognizing that land use practices differ in each area of
the watershed, the Black River RAP has been attempting to establish
small sub-watershed groups. The Black River RAP/U.S. Army Corps
partnership have completed a French Creek sub-watershed habitat
survey and produced a French Creek specific handbook that was mailed
to landowners and decision-makers. In 2003, a similar project has
started in the northern East Branch sub-watershed. Currently, the
entire Black River AOC suffers from bacterial contamination,
especially after storm events. The City of Elyria has been working
to relieve the effects from discharges from combined sewer overflows
and the Lorain County General Health District has started an
inspection, operations and maintenance program to address impacts
from old, failing and failed home sewage treatment systems (HSTS).
The Black River RAP and its community partners have been making a difference. Through the support of the Riparian Corridor Resolution and through various education programs, the Black River RAP and its community partners have fostered a new and heightened awareness to protect this area.

Community Involvement
The Black River RAP is a unique community based public/private
initiative involving participation from local citizens, township,
municipal and county officials to state and federal agencies. The
Black River RAP motto is "Our River, Our Responsibility" and each
RAP member has taken responsibility to help affect the many changes
that has made this organization so successful.
Recognizing that land uses and proper stream stewardship are better directed at a local level, the Black River RAP has been directing considerable effort toward the development of small sub-watershed groups. These groups can affect more changes in the neighborhoods and communities of their subwatershed. Through the efforts of the Lorain County Community Development Department, a group of concerned individuals has been formed in the predominately agricultural West Branch subwatershed. The Black River RAP is trying to form another group in the rapidly developing French Creek subwatershed.
