Neighbors helping out
I would like to tell the people on Crosstown Road in Berlin that I notice all the time that while they are walking they also are picking up pounds and pounds of trash. It is too bad that some people are such pigs and throw garbage out their windows. I have recently witnessed a person wait until I passed him and then threw trash out his drivers window over the bank coming down the Riverton side. I did not get a plate number.
No matter the weather I have seen residents picking up trash. I just want to say I appreciate it. Your work does not go unnoticed. Happy holidays to you good people.

SLUMS BEHIND SHUTTERS: A special report.; Wages and Squalor for Immigrant Workers
By CHARLIE LeDUFF and DAVID M. HALBFINGER
Published: May 21, 1999
In a dark, musty garage in the Long Island city of Glen Cove, a child sleeps under rags and old clothes. Rain drips down into an electric light socket. The ceiling is caving in. The five people who live there bathe from buckets and pay $1,000 a month in rent. ''What can I do?'' says Rosa Benitez, the child's mother, a 31-year-old immigrant from El Salvador. ''I ask the landlord to fix it. He says if I complain I will be on the street.''
In Farmingville, Guadeloupe Crespo Alvarez, a middle-aged Mexican, lingers in bed. The tip of his foot, crushed by a truck a few weeks ago while he was hauling bricks on a day job, looks like a tree root, swelling black and blue out of a plaster cast. The boss sent him home with a pill, but no pay, he says, and the hospital refuses to operate to repair his bones because he has no insurance. Now he cannot make the $200 rent that he pays for his bunk in a ranch house crammed with 16 strangers.
''Please, Mother,'' he says as he lights a candle to the Virgin Mary. ''Send help.''
In Hempstead, a woman named Gloria fries pork chops in a kitchen that reeks of excrement. She pays $300 a month for a small bedroom in a wood-frame house whose toilets have not flushed in over a week. Gloria hopes for something better, but she is not optimistic. ''I keep looking, but no one wants a woman with three daughters,'' she said, her 10-year-old translating and quietly grasping her mother's meaning.
Behind louvered shutters, vinyl siding and drawn curtains in nearly every town and village on Long Island, tens of thousands of legal and illegal immigrants from Central America and Mexico are jammed into subdivided houses and partitioned apartments, biding their time in invisible suburban slums that local officials say they have little hope of controlling.
By day, these men and women perform some of the lowest jobs on the Island's booming economic ladder, cleaning the floors or pruning the shrubbery of affluent suburbanites, hauling construction materials for home builders, picking spinach in Riverhead. By night they count up earnings far greater than anything they could have hoped for back home -- up to $10 an hour.
With unemployment at 2.8 percent in Nassau and 3.7 percent in Suffolk, experts and local officials say many of these jobs would not get done without immigrant labor. ''If we didn't have this population, the dishes and silverware in our diners probably wouldn't be clean,'' said Frank P. Petrone, the Supervisor of the Town of Huntington.
But the same booming economy that has drawn so many immigrants to Long Island has also created an extraordinary shortage of affordable housing and enabled some landlords to charge thousands of dollars a month to groups of men who then split the rent as many as 10 or 20 ways.
While similar overcrowding can be found in many immigrant neighborhoods in Queens and other parts of New York City, experts say the housing plight of immigrants in the suburbs is particularly acute, in part because there are far fewer social services and homeless shelters available.
As a result, many political leaders are reluctant to crack down on bad living conditions, fearing that such an effort would make homeless people of those who now have roofs over their heads.
No one knows exactly how many immigrants live on Long Island. The Immigration and Naturalization Service has not even estimated the number, a spokeswoman said. But some experts point to the growth of the Salvadoran population as a indication of the extent of the surge. In 1979, before civil war broke out in El Salvador, there were as few as 5,000 Salvadorans living on the Island. Today, according to immigrant groups and outreach workers, the number is well over 100,000.
Hondurans, Guatemalans, Mexicans and others have followed a similar path, bypassing the comparatively tight job market in New York City and moving directly to the suburbs, where apartment complexes are scarce but where three-bedroom homes can provide space for a lot more than three beds.
''They've found it almost impossible to find anything but substandard housing,'' said Pearl M. Kamer, chief economist for the Long Island Association, an economic development group. ''So they're doubling, tripling, quadrupling up. And therefore you have disasters.''
Outreach workers point to a series of deaths that have periodically drawn attention to the housing problems of the immigrants. In 1996, a 5-year-old girl, Melissa Castillo, died with her grandmother, Blanca Saravia, in a fire in a cramped Port Washington house; 11 others were left homeless. Jose Santos Fuentes died of exposure in 1997 after falling into a creek next to his bed under a Glen Cove overpass. The same year, Clementino Morales, a Guatemalan immigrant, was killed in a Riverhead fire that left his nine housemates homeless.
On May 1, in Huntington Station, a converted commercial building teeming with 34 Salvadorans erupted in flames, killing a woman, her 5-year-old daughter and a man who had arrived to find work just four days earlier. Another resident has been charged with murder and arson.

DAMASCUS, Syria — A human rights activist was sentenced to 12 years in prison yesterday for meeting with Bush administration officials at the White House during a 2005 visit to Washington.
Kamal Labwani, a Syrian physician and democracy advocate, was convicted of "contacting a foreign country, passing on messages and encouraging attack against Syria," according to local reports, which noted that a maximum sentence could have been a lifetime of hard labor.
The sentence came as President Bashar Assad warned of growing political and military instability in the Middle East in his annual address to the Syrian parliament.
It also demonstrated a continued hard line a week after Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice met Syria's foreign minister in Egypt — a meeting that signaled Washington's willingness to re-engage with a nation that it has described as a state sponsor of terrorism.
The State Department yesterday condemned the "harsh and unjust sentencing" of Dr. Labwani and said it reflects "the Syrian regime's contempt for human rights and a legal system devoid of legitimate legal standards."
Dr. Labwani was arrested at the Damascus airport in November 2005 on his return from Washington, where he had met with National Security Adviser Stephen J. Hadley, among others.
Dr. Labwani, 50, is the second prominent Syrian reformer to draw a prison sentence in recent weeks. Anwar al-Bunni, a human rights lawyer who had spoken out about torture in Syrian prisons, received a five-year sentence on April 24 on charges of spreading false news that could weaken national morale and of contacting a foreign country.
The crackdown has provoked an outcry from pro-democracy groups.
"This is the harshest judgment against a prisoner of conscience since President Bashar al-Assad came to power," Ammar Qorabi, head of the National Organization for Human Rights in Syria, told Agence France-Presse.
Other human rights advocates have said in recent weeks that Mr. Assad's government has retreated from the early promise of the "Damascus Spring" — a period in which dissidents were released from prison shortly after Mr. Assad succeeded his father in the presidential palace,.
Former Syrian Judge Haithem Maleh said this week that he fears the government has been increasing its opposition to human rights movements inside Syria.
"There has been zero progress, less than zero, in the last seven years," said Mr. Maleh, 78.
International rights groups such as Freedom House and Human Rights Watch have criticized the Syrian government for taking harsh steps against detractors and advocates of free speech and political reform.
Six high-profile dissidents are in prison, serving terms or awaiting sentencing.
Mr. Assad did not mention the dissidents in his public remarks yesterday, but he did forcefully reject participation in a proposed international tribunal to try suspects in the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

Thank you note to the Big Bang
(Heads-up: NOAA space weather forecast calls for active to major storm levels tonight through tomorrow. Auroras are possible. As of 11:30 p.m. CDT, no aurora in Duluth,Minn.)
Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist, writer and director of Hayden Planetarium in New York City, is a familiar face on late night talk shows the past several years. A master of his craft, he combines humor and enthusiasm to communicate the wonders of the universe to the general public. If you're looking for a good book on black holes, I can recommend his "Death by Black Hole and other Cosmic Quandries".
In a 2008 interview by TIME magazine, Neil was asked what he thought the most astounding fact about the Universe was. You can hear his response in the short video above, set to images and music by Max Schlickenmeyer. I think you'll find the deep connection he makes very satisfying.
Looks like we finally got hit this morning by an incoming coronal mass ejection from one of several flares of the past couple days. It happened around 4:30 a.m. CDT; by 7 a.m. the Kp shot up to "6". As you can see from the current plot (left), the storm's still going strong. Wish I was in Siberia to see it.
One of our readers from Helena, Montana saw a few auroral rays while on his morning run today. Let's hope the activity continues into the night. If there's a possibility for northern lights, I'll update with news later today.

Hi Bob,
Just want to thank you for your blog and let you know you are a must read everyday at lunch time. Thanks for your energy and insights on the astronomical world.
For spring break next week, I am taking my daughter to Kitt Observatory for a night skywatch program they offer. She has never seen the Milky Way and I thought this was a great opportunity – for both of us.
I can't tell you how much pleasure I get looking at the night sky and seeing all the familiar stars, constellations, and planets. It is strange to see the winter night sky in such change – I need to get re-oriented.
Thanks again,

We love beer. That's why we're devoting an entire year to discovering (and drinking) cold ones from near and far. Know of a beer worth shouting out? Send us a note at email@example.com.
A deep rusty brown with a firm white head, The Hairy Eyeball looks like a fairly robust beer, but even that imposing appearance doesn't quite measure up to what's in the glass. This is an "American strong ale," a catchall description used for any potent beer that doesn't quite fit into a standard category. The reason is obvious: The aroma is a big smack of malty sweetness, with dried fruits, caramel and dark nuts all in the mix. From the very first sip you're hit with a wallop of warming alcohol, followed by toasted malts, toffee and burnt sugar. What hops are present are strictly there to hold back the sweet malts; it finishes dry, making it a good match for a meal (preferably something fatty and rich). Give The Hairy Eyeball a try at Doobies Bar, Khyber Pass Pub, Lucky's Last Chance and others.

The present invention relates to a process for forming a fibrous web wherein a polymer stream is spun through a spinning nozzle into an electric field of sufficient strength to impart electrical charge on the polymer and wherein a forwarding gas stream aids in transporting the polymer away from the spinning nozzle.
PCT publication no. WO 03/080905A discloses an apparatus and method for producing a nanofiber web. The method comprises feeding a polymer solution to a spinning nozzle to which a high voltage is applied while compressed gas is used to envelop the polymer solution in a forwarding gas stream as it exits the spinning nozzle, and collecting the resulting nanofiber web on a grounded suction collector.
There are several disadvantages to the process disclosed in PCT publication no. WO 03/080905A, particularly if the process is carried out on a commercial scale. For one, the spinning nozzle, and the spinneret and spin pack of which the nozzle is a component and all of the associated upstream solution equipment must be maintained at high voltage during the spinning process. Because the polymer solution is conductive, all of the equipment in contact with the polymer solution is brought to high voltage, and if the motor and gear box driving the polymer solution pump are not electrically isolated from the pump, a short circuit will be created which will reduce the voltage potential of the pack to a level insufficient to create the electric fields required to impart charge on the polymer solution.
Another disadvantage of the prior art process is that the process solution and/or solvent supply must be physically interrupted in order to isolate it from the high voltage of the process. Otherwise, the solution and/or solvent supply systems would ground out the pack and eliminate the high electric fields required for imparting charge on the polymer solution.
Additionally, all of the equipment in contact with the electrified polymer solution must be electrically insulated for proper and safe operation. This insulation requirement is extremely difficult to fulfill as this includes large equipment such as spin packs, transfer lines, metering pumps, solution storage tanks, pumps, as well as control equipment and instrumentation such as pressure and temperature gauges. A further complication is that it is cumbersome to design instrumentation and process variable communication systems which can operate at high voltages relative to ground. Furthermore, all exposed sharp angles or corners that are held at high voltage must be rounded, otherwise they will create intense electric fields at those points which may discharge. Potential sources of sharp angles/corners include bolts, angle irons, etc. Moreover, the high voltage introduces a hazard to those persons providing routine maintenance to electrified equipment in support of an on-going manufacturing process. The polymer solutions and solvents being processed are often flammable, creating a further potential danger exacerbated by the presence of the high voltage.
Another disadvantage of the prior art is the necessity of using a quite high voltage. In order to impart electrical charge on the polymer, an electrical field of sufficient strength is needed. Due to the distances involved between the spinning nozzle and the collector, high voltage is used to maintain the electric field. An object of this invention is to lower the voltage used.
Still another disadvantage of the prior art is the coupling of the spinning nozzle to collector distance to the voltage used. During operation of the prior art process, it may be desirable to change the distance of the spinning nozzle to the collector (or the die to collector distance; the "DCD"). However, by changing that distance the electric field generated between the spinning nozzle and the collector changes. This requires changing the voltage in order to maintain the same electric field. Thus, another object of this invention is to decouple the spinning nozzle to collector distance from the electric field.
In a first embodiment, the present invention is directed to an electroblowing process for forming a fibrous web comprising issuing an electrically charged polymer stream from a spinning nozzle in a spinneret, passing the polymer stream by an electrode to which a voltage is applied and wherein the spinneret is substantially grounded, such that an electric field is generated between the spinneret and the electrode of sufficient strength to impart said electrical charge to the polymer stream as it issues from the spinning nozzle, and collecting nanofibers formed from the charged polymer stream on a collector as a fibrous web.
A second embodiment of the present invention is a fiber spinning apparatus, comprising a polymer supply vessel connected to an inlet side of a spinneret having a polymer flow passage disposed therein, said polymer flow passage exiting said spinneret through at least one spinning nozzle, forwarding gas nozzles having exits disposed adjacent to and directed toward said spinning nozzle, said spinning nozzle extending beyond the exits of said gas nozzles, at least one electrode disposed downstream of said gas nozzles, but outside of a gas flow path established by the direction of the gas flow nozzles, and a fiber collector disposed downstream of said spinning nozzle, wherein each of said spinneret, said electrode and said fiber collector are electrically connected to a circuit containing a high voltage supply, such that each can be individually charged to a potential.
The terms "electroblowing" and "electro-blown spinning" herein refer interchangeably to a process for forming a fibrous web by which a forwarding gas stream is directed generally towards a collector, into which gas stream a polymer stream is injected from a spinning nozzle, thereby forming a fibrous web which is collected on the collector, wherein a voltage differential is maintained between the spinning nozzle and an electrode and the voltage differential is of sufficient strength to impart charge on the polymer as it issues from the spinning nozzle.
The term "nanofibers" refers to fibers having diameters of less than 1,000 nanometers.
Reference will now be made in detail to the presently preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Throughout the drawings, like reference characters are used to designate like elements.
An electroblowing process and apparatus for forming a fibrous web is disclosed in PCT publication number WO 03/080905A (FIG. 1), corresponding to U.S. Ser. No. 10/477,882, filed Nov. 19, 2003, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. There are several disadvantages to this process, as already described above.
In the process of the present invention, referring to
While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the forwarding gas stream provides the majority of the forwarding forces in the initial stages of drawing of the fibers from the issued polymer stream and in the case of polymer solution, simultaneously strips away the mass boundary layer along the individual fiber surface thereby greatly increasing the diffusion rate of solvent from the polymer solution in the form of gas during the formation of the fibrous web.
At some point, the local electric field around the polymer stream is of sufficient strength that the electrical force becomes the dominant drawing force which ultimately draws individual fibers from the polymer stream to diameters measured in the hundreds of nanometers or less.
It is believed that the angular geometry of the tip of the spinning nozzle 104, also referred to as the "die tip," creates an intense electric field in the three-dimensional space surrounding the tip which causes charge to be imparted to the polymer stream. The spinning nozzle may be in the form of a capillary of any desired cross-sectional shape, or in the form of a linear array of such capillaries. In the embodiment in which the die tip is an angular beam containing a linear capillary array of spinning nozzles, the forwarding gas stream is issued from gas nozzles 106 on each side of the spinneret 102. The gas nozzles 106 are in the form of slots formed between elongated knife edges, one on each side of the spinneret 102, along the length of the linear capillary array, and the spinneret 102. Alternately, in the embodiment in which the die tip is in the form of a single capillary, the gas nozzle 106 may be in the form of a circumferential slot surrounding the spinneret 102. The gas nozzles 106 are directed toward the spinning nozzle, generally in the direction of the polymer stream flow. The angular die tip, and therefore the spinning nozzle(s), is positioned such that it extends beyond the end of the spinneret and gas nozzles a distance "e" (
Advantageously, the polymer solution is electrically conductive. Examples of polymers for use in the invention may include polyimide, nylon, polyaramide, polybenzimidazole, polyetherimide, polyacrylonitrile, PET (polyethylene terephthalate), polypropylene, polyaniline, polyethylene oxide, PEN (polyethylene naphthalate), PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), SBR (styrene butadiene rubber), polystyrene, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), polyvinyl alcohol, PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), polyvinyl butylene and copolymer or derivative compounds thereof. The polymer solution is prepared by selecting a solvent suitable to dissolve the polymer. The polymer solution can be mixed with additives including any resin compatible with an associated polymer, plasticizer, ultraviolet ray stabilizer, crosslink agent, curing agent, reaction initiator, electrical dopant, etc. Any polymer solution known to be suitable for use in a conventional electrospinning process may be used in the process of the invention.
In another embodiment of the invention, the polymer stream fed to the spin pack and discharged through the nozzle in the spinneret is a polymer melt. Any polymer known to be suitable for use in a melt electrospinning process may be used in the process in the form of a polymer melt.
Polymer melts and polymer-solvent combinations suitable for use in the process are disclosed in Z. M. Huang et al., Composites Science and Technology, volume 63 (2003), pages 2226-2230, which is herein incorporated by reference.
Advantageously, the polymer discharge pressure is in the range of about 0.01 kg/cm2 to about 200 kg/cm2, more advantageously in the range of about 0.1 kg/cm2 to about 20 kg/cm2, and the polymer stream throughput per hole is in the range of about 0.1 cc/min to about 15 cc/min.
The velocity of the compressed gas issued from gas nozzles 106 is advantageously between about 10 and about 20,000 m/min, and more advantageously between about 100 and about 3,000 m/min.
After the polymer stream exits the spinning nozzle 104 it passes by electrodes 130 and 132, as shown in
The process of the invention avoids the necessity of maintaining the spin pack including the spinneret, as well as all other upstream equipment, at high voltage, as described above. By applying the voltage to the electrode, the pack and the spinneret may be grounded or substantially grounded. By "substantially grounded" is meant that the spinneret preferentially may be held at a low voltage level, i.e., between about −100 V and about +100 V. However, it is also understood that the spinneret can have a significant voltage provided the electrode has a voltage that maintains a desired voltage differential between the spinneret and the electrode. This voltage differential can have a positive or negative polarity with respect to the ground potential. In one embodiment, the spinneret and the electrode can have the same voltage but with different polarities. The voltage differential between the spinneret and the electrode is in the range of about 1 to about 100 kV, and even in the range of about 2 to about 50 kV, and even as low as about 2 to about 30 kV.
Located a distance below the spinneret 102 is a collector for collecting the fibrous web produced. In
It has been found that the distance between the spinneret and the collection surface (also referred to as the "die to collector distance" or "DCD"; illustrated in
It has further been found that when the tip of the spinning nozzle or die tip protrudes from the spinneret by a distance e (
Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), viscosity average molecular weight (Mv) ˜300,000, available from Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, Mo. was dissolved in deionized water to make a 10% by weight PEO solution. The solution electrical conductivity was measured to be 47 Micro-Siemens/cm using a VWR digital conductivity meter available from VWR Scientific Products (VWR International, Inc., West Chester, Pa.). The solution was spun in a single orifice electroblowing apparatus comprising a 26 gauge blunt syringe needle, in a concentric forwarding air jet. The needle tip protruded 2.5 mm below the conductive face of the spin pack body. The spin pack body and the spin orifice were electrically grounded through an ammeter, and the PEO solution was directed through a ring-shaped electrode, which was charged to a high voltage. Process conditions are set forth in the Table, below.
PEO fibers formed via this process were collected on a grounded conductive surface and examined under a scanning electron microscope. Fiber diameters ranged from about 91 to about 730 nanometers. The mean fiber diameter was visually estimated to be about 300 nanometers.
The procedure of Example 1 was followed except with a smaller inside diameter electrode, with the electrode located closer to the die tip and with a lower voltage applied to the electrode. Process conditions are set forth in the Table, below. Fibers diameters were determined to be in the range of about 230 to about 880 nanometers with the mean fiber diameter estimated to be about 400 nanometers.
The fibers produced from Example 2 were similar in size to those fibers produced from Example 1. The procedure of Example 2 shows that by decreasing the electrode inside diameter and decreasing the DED, the applied voltage to the electrode can be reduced and still generate similar sized fibers as Example 1.
The procedure of Example 2 was repeated except with a slightly higher voltage on the electrode. Process conditions are set forth in the Table, below. Fiber diameters were determined to be in the range of about 180 to about 350 nanometers with the mean estimated to be about 290 nanometers.
The fibers produced from Example 3 were similar in size to those fibers produced from Examples 1 and 2.
TABLE Spinning Conditions Ex. 1 Ex. 2 Ex. 3 Throughput (mL/min) 0.5 0.5 0.5 Volumetric Airflow (L/min) 24.5 24.5 24.5 Air Flow Velocity (m/s) 12 12 12 Electrode Inside Diameter (mm) 28.2 22.9 22.9 Die to Electrode Distance (mm) 25.4 12.7 12.7 Polarity negative negative negative Voltage (kV) 30 14 16 Die to Collector Distance (cm) 30 30 30
A procedure was followed in accordance with PCT publication number WO 03/080905A. The procedure included a 0.1 meter spin pack with no electrode present. A high voltage of −60 kV was applied to the spinneret and the collector was grounded.
A 22% by weight solution of nylon 6 (type BS400N obtained from BASF Corporation, Mount Olive, N.J.) in formic acid (obtained from Kemira Industrial Chemicals, Helsinki, Finland) was electroblown through a spinneret of 100 mm wide, having 11 spinning nozzles at a throughput rate of 1.5 cc/hole. A forwarding air stream was introduced through air nozzles at a flow rate of 4 scfm (2 liters per second). The air was heated to about 70� C. The distance from the spinneret to the upper surface of the collector was approximately 300 mm. The process ran for about 1 minute.
Nineteen fibers from the product collected were measured for fiber diameter. The average fiber size was 390 nm with a standard deviation of 85.
Examples 1-3 demonstrate that the use of an electrode positioned and charged in accordance with the present invention requires less voltage than the method of the prior art to produce nanofibers with similar fiber diameters.

Under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP), the Department of Defense (DOD) has charged the Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps) with cleaning up 4,700 formerly used defense sites (FUDS) and active sites that were under its jurisdiction when they were initially contaminated. The 661-acre Spring Valley site in Washington, D.C is one such site. Like many other FUDS, the U.S. Army used the Spring Valley site during World War I for research and testing of chemical agents, equipment, and munitions. Most of the site is now privately owned and includes private residences, a hospital, and several commercial properties. The primary threats at the site are buried munitions, elevated arsenic in site soils, and laboratory waste; perchlorate was also found onsite. This testimony discusses GAO's past work relating to remediation efforts at FUDS and military munitions sites to provide context for issues at Spring Valley. Specifically, it addresses: (1) the impact that shortcomings in information and guidance can have on decision-making; (2) the impact that incomplete data can have on cost estimates and schedules; (3) how funding for a particular site may be influenced by overall program goals; and (4) how better coordination can increase public confidence in cleanups and facilitate effective decision-making. GAO has made several prior recommendations that address these issues, with which, in most cases, the agency concurred.
GAO's past work has found significant shortcomings in the Corps' use of available information and guidance for making decisions relating to cleanup of FUDS. For example, in 2002, GAO found that the Army determined that there was no evidence of large-scale burials of hazards remaining at Spring Valley before it had received all technical input. This experience is not unique. In a 2002 national study, GAO reported that the Corps did not have a sound basis for determining that about 1,468 of 3,840 FUDS properties--38 percent--did not need further study or cleanup action. GAO attributed these shortcomings to limitations in the Corps guidance that did not specify what documents or level of detail the agency should obtain to identify potential hazards at FUDS or how to assess the presence of potential hazards. GAO's past work has also shown that incomplete data on site conditions and emerging contaminants can interfere with the development of accurate cost and schedule estimates. At Spring Valley, the Corps' estimates of cleanup costs increased by about six fold, from about $21 million to about $124 million from fiscal year 1997 through fiscal year 2001. As assumptions about site conditions changed and new hazards were discovered, the estimates continued to rise and currently stand at about $174 million. Again, these problems are not unique. In 2004, GAO evaluated DOD's cleanup of sites with military munitions and found several similar weaknesses in preliminary cost estimates for numerous sites across the country. GAO's past work has shown that funding available for specific sites may be influenced by overall program goals and other priorities. Spring Valley has received priority funding due to its proximity to a major metropolitan area and high visibility; however, GAO's past work shows that this is usually not the case with most FUDS sites. Over the past 10 years DOD has invested nearly $42 billion in its environmental programs, but it typically requests and receives a relatively smaller amount of funding for environmental restoration activities at FUDS sites compared to funding available for active sites. GAO's past work has found that better coordination and communication with regulators and property owners can increase public confidence and facilitate effective decision-making for contaminated sites. With regard to Spring Valley, GAO reported in 2002 that the Corps, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the District of Columbia had made progress because they had adopted a partnership approach to cleanup decisions. However, this kind of cooperation and coordination does not always occur nationwide. For example, in 2003, GAO reported that the Corps only informed states of upcoming work and requested input from them about half of the time. Similarly, GAO found that the Corps did not always communicate with property owners about the decisions it makes regarding contamination at FUDS sites and more often than not did not inform property owners about how to contact the Corps in the event that further hazardous substances were identified at the site.

Are You Local? The 2010 SXSW Send-Off
Over the past 23 years, Austin's annual multimedia festival, South By Southwest, has transformed into a springtime rite and an epicenter for the music, film, and interactive-media industries. For many bands, an invite could mean finding that much-sought-after Big Break while performing in the company of 1,200 other acts from around the world. To celebrate those making the trek to the Lone Star State, First Ave is sending the local crop off in the grandest way possible by inviting them all to come play the Mainroom. Lookbook (pictured), Peter Wolf Crier, and Jeremy Messersmith top the roster of a half-dozen groups that will be primed to meet their destinies with one more show for their Twin Cities faithful. As if that isn't enough, the Entry will host three more local bands readying for SXSW by competing in Vita.mn's "Are You Local?" best new bands competition—the up-and-coming bands will be vying for the grand prize of free recording time, LP production, CDs, and downloads. With Romantica, the Pines, and City on the Make in the Mainroom and Hunting Club, Joey Ryan and the Inks, Bight Club, and the Moon Goons in the Entry. 18+.

When Sharon Fogaren set out to honor her mother, little did she know she would end up being the one recognized.
In 2009, Fogaren set out to establish a 5K walk in honor of her mother, Elaine Fogaren, who died of breast cancer in 2004. As she organized the event, Fogaren became ill herself and passed away before the walk could be held. Friends quickly gathered together and the first Sharon's Walk was held on April 25, 2010, raising more than $20,000 toward the Southcoast Centers for Cancer Care.
Now organizers have partnered with Southcoast Health Systems to hold the second annual walk on Oct. 23 at Fort Taber, 1000 Rodney French Blvd., New Bedford.
A former disc jockey at FUN 107, Fogeran became an advocate for breast cancer awareness and hospice care after her mother's death. Her former on-air partner, J.R. Reitz, said that with the addition of Southcoast, this year's event will likely be bigger and better.
"The last time we did it by ourselves with some volunteers and it was a really big task to put together, but to partner with Southcoast, this is something that would have been real near and dear to Sharon," Reitz said.
It will also bring some added features to this year's walk.
The family friendly event will include entertainment, refreshments, children's activities, raffles and more. Free health screenings will also be provided by the Southcoast Centers for Cancer Care and Southcoast Hospitals through its Southcoast Health Van.
Reitz said the goal this year is to build upon last year's donation levels with $30,000 being aimed for.
Participants who preregister, which takes place through Oct. 20, are asked to pay $15 per person. Entry can be done individually or as a team. Nonwalkers are also welcome to sponsor those who will be traveling around the fort. A $20 registration fee is required on the day of the walk. All participants will receive a T-shirt.
Check in is at 8 a.m. and the walk will begin at 10 a.m. Participants are welcome to join the walk any time during the event, which goes until 2 p.m.
Participants can register online at www.firstgiving.com/southcoasths/southcoastsharonswalk or registration forms can be picked up at any Southcoast hospital or Center for Cancer Care and at the FUN 107 offices in Fairhaven.
Reitz said he is looking forward to a good turnout for an even better person.
"She had a very positive outlook on life, a great laugh and a great sense of humor," Reitz said. "The listeners loved her and I hope we have a great turnout,"

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I have severe problem with this. This is like looking at obscurity and declaring it a soul. The measure of intelligence is that we can't understand it?

Sea Tea Improv Hosts Hartford's First Improvisational Theater Studio Grand Opening Today, 11/9
Sea Tea Improv has just opened the doors of Hartford's first-ever studio for improvisational comedy. The professional theatrical comedy company was founded in Hartford in 2009 and immediately became a hub of the burgeoning comedy community in Connecticut. With the addition of a studio, Sea Tea will be able to expand its educational offerings for teens, adults, and professionals, and plans to rent the space out to other excellent improv performers and companies in need of rehearsal and workshop space.
The Studio is located at 75 Pratt Street, Suite 500, making Sea Tea Improv a new cornerstone of activity in downtown Hartford. "We hope to drive theater and comedy enthusiasts to park, dine, and wander around downtown," says founding member Greg Ludovici. "We've always been first and foremost a Hartford company, and we're happy to finally have a brick-and-mortar home."
To celebrate this milestone, Sea Tea Improv will host a Grand Opening today, November 9th, 2012. The party will run from 7 pm – 11 pm. Space is limited so please email firstname.lastname@example.com to RSVP.
The first classes held in the Studio will be "The Character" and "The Second Beat"-courses for those new to improv, and those who are more experienced, respectively. All Character class meetings are from 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM on Wednesday nights, from Oct 10th through December 12th. The Second Beat class meetings are on Sunday afternoons from 3PM to 6PM, from October 7th - December 2nd. Each course is $199 and limited to 16 students.

Sea Tea Improv began as a troupe of seven members who met in 2008 and has grown steadily to a troupe of fifteen players. The group has performed hundreds of shows and taught dozens of classes and workshops, working with such illustrious institutions as the Butler McCook House, The Mark Twain House, ESPN, The Funny Bone, the Wadsworth Atheneum, the Connecticut Forum, and the Science Center's Liquid Lounge, and the Hartford Stage. Sea Tea Improv has developed workshops for Toastmasters International, Accenture, Travelers Insurance, the Litchfield County Women's Network, and many others. The troupe has grown from a locally revered company to a nationally recognized theatrical entity.
Sea Tea has been an official selection of the Providence Improv Festival for three years running, and has performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade's Del Close Marathon in New York City, the Baltimore Improv Festival, the Boston Comedy Arts Fest, and the Portland Improv Festival.
They have been featured countless times on WNPR's Colin McEnroe Show, as well as on ESPN, Better Connecticut, Mass Appeal, Connecticut Style, and in the Hartford Advocate and in The Hartford Courant. Sea Tea Improv has been recognized by reSEt as one of Hartford's best businesses, and was recently named by iQuilt as a "Cultural Asset."
