From Syntheway Virtual Musical Instruments: Virtual Room Emulator is a VST reverb plug-in for native PC platforms. Used to create psycho-acoustic models in the DSP environment. It simulates the reverberation of a sound in a rectangular type room, allowing separate control of the room's width, depth and height. It also allows you to control the distance between the listener and the sound positioned in that virtual room. The Virtual Room Emulator section offers control over the size, width, and damping factor of the room by way of three linkable sliders. Produces a natural sounding room reverberation effect that gives you true room perception, from small rooms to large concert halls. Small rooms have a high percentage of early reflections ( the first feedback from the closest objects) that can give more body to tracks. It is also good with acoustic guitars and voices. Larger rooms are better with strings, or wind instruments and synthesizer pads. Features: Reverberation technique that simulates a real acoustic environment of a room. Separate control of Room's dimensions, produces naturally sounding reverberation. Early and late reflections, (The sound reflections from walls, floors and ceilings following a sound created in an acoustically reflective environment). It uses reverberation engine that does not produce metal harmonics. 16 predefined room configurations that range from tiny to extra large rooms , allow you to quickly switch between different Virtual Room's configurations. The plugin is perfectly suited for any type of audio production when acoustic space simulation is needed from recording to post production.

Warning: awsmness (Click to show)
not theories so much, but plenty of comments. How colors work with complexion doesn't get much play tho
lso, I've read through a fair number of posts by various SF members (probably more by than anyone) explaining various considerations of colour in regards to how to dress but not once have I heard any theories of warm vs. cool colours as they relate to putting together an outfit. Again, just curious...
i've commissioned some real shockers in paisley/brites, so i know your pain.

Salt Of The Earth… : The Role of Salt in CSP
Several of our last posts have focused on the economic and social responsibility legs of the triple bottom line. With this post we return to the environmental leg, with a "green by definition" project which was just turned over for operation in sunny Spain.
"Green by definition" is one end of the Green Rainbow we talk about in our book. These are projects which have as their main outcome an environmental improvement. The other end of the spectrum is "Green in General", which would be, for example, release 18.104.22.168.4 of your company's payroll software. Even those projects, we assert, can benefit from sustainability thinking. But that's not the topic of today's post. Today we talk about molten salt.
According to a great article in ecoseed.org, "The 19.9-megawatt Gemasolar concentrating solar power plant uses 2,650 flat mirrors called heliostats arranged over 185 hectares of land to heat molten salt. The heliostats focus sunlight on a tower where liquid is heated up to 900 degrees centigrade. It is then stored for later use at above 500 degrees centigrade in tanks beneath the tower."
Why salt?
Simple physics. Salt retains heat longer than water. Read about it at Sandia National Lab's site. Here's a more detailed technical article about a plant to be built in Nevada.
And here's a diagram of a molten salt solar power generation system.
The lesson for our project managers? Learn the technology, the vocabulary. Understand the importance and significance of such projects and be ready (and willing) to take on either a project like this.
Give yourself the opportunity to work on projects like this.

Willem Post says:
Spain is sobering up from its renewables binge by reducing its subsidies for solar power, as will Germany which is richer and can endure pain longer.
CSP in Spain is well developed. Spain has standardized on 50 MW plants with about 6-7 hours of storage. Larger solar fields are required to store energy during the day for use during early-morning and later-afternoon hours. An expensive way to produce solar power, even in Spain; producing solar power in Germany is a very high order of the absurd.
CSP standardization by Spain has NOT brought down costs, as touted by proponents, because much of the CSP technology is mature and prices of materials and labor have increased.
Below are some articles for information.
A guest says:
Maybe - but to compare apples to apples:
1. You will need far more transmission to distribute the 915 MW than the distributed solar - at least in the southwest where it is likely to get used. Unless the southwest wants to export power. This will happen because it's very unlikely that a nuclear plant will be located close to a major population area.
2.You need to count the land area for mining uranium and responsible disposal of hazardous waste.
3. Does your cost include at a bare minimum dry cask storage and more responsibly permanent storage?
4. The cost of real world accident liability costs.
5. Responsible decommissioning at end of life.
6. The politics of locating nuclear plant via a local referendum vote.
To avoid the above issues and more the solar generated power may well be worth allot more than nuclear.
As far as land use we are constantly deciding to use land for proposes that are valuable in the eyes of the user such as golf courses, cemeteries, large lots for homes, 2nd,3rd and 4th vacation homes,parks, etc.
A guest says:
Solar thermal (ex: Gemasolar, http://www.nrel.gov/csp/solarpaces/project_detail.cfm/projectID=40):
The projected output is 100,000 MWh / yr, which means its actual power output should be about 12 MW
12 MW / 185 hectares ~= 25 kW/acre ~= 7 W/m^2
Solar PV (ex: Olmedilla, http://www.nobesol.com/?seccion=4&subseccion=2&contenido=40, http://www.frv.com/en/project/Spain/Olmedilla):
Real output is 87500 MWh/yr, or about 10 MW
10 MW / 30 hectares ~= 135 kW / acre ~= 34 W/m^2
Nuclear (ex: Almaraz, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushehr_Nuclear_Power_Plant)
915 MW / 10 hectares ~= 37,028 kW / acre
Charles Barton says:
It would be a lot cheaper to heat salt with molten salt cooled reactors. In addition with Molten Salt Reactors, power would be avaliable on cloudy days, and as much power would be available in the winter as in the summer. Molten Salt reactors would occupie much less land surface.
A guest says:
Hi Charles .. You seem like a Smart man. How long have you been involved in alternative energy? I Have just stumbled upon this website , So I guess this is a bit of an assumption however I am very interested in alternative energy . It is something I want to pursue as a career . Any advice on where to begin??? A little info I am a salesman im 27 and want to be a part of something bigger than life!!!

BE 2010: backup to disk backup fails
Hi there, I've just stepped into a new network admin role at a company and am trying to figure out how to get the backups to work consistently. Currently we have Backup Exec 2010 (I don't believe it's R2 or R3 - shows v13.0 rev. 2896 for Media Server and Admin Console) installed on a Small Business Server 2003.
I am trying to get a backup from an existing selection list to back up to an external USB drive with a backup-to-disk folder set up onto it. I did place this device into a media pool and point the backup to that media pool rather than the device (for future use involving other external hard drives). There is a backup to disk folder on this device, enabled and online, with the maximum size for backup-to-disk files set to 25GB, not allocating maximum size for backup-to-disk files, max number of backup sets set to 30. Currently 2 B2D files in this folder, low disk space threshold set to 5GB but the physical drive has approximately 370GB free. The media set for the job is set for Infinite overwrite protection and Infinite Allow Append.
The test run fails because it finds about 56GB of data to back up, but shows 22.8GB of online append capacity and 51.2GB of online overwrite capacity. My assumption is that there has to be a setting that I'm missing that would cause the B2D folder to create an additional B2D file(s) in order to allow for the added capacity required for the backup. What am I missing? :)
Thanks in advance!

Instead of doing test run ,when you run actual backup what happen?
Please see link below
Don't forget to give a "Thumbs Up" or Mark as "Solution" if someones advice has helped you.
rev. 2896 is plain BE 2010. You should upgrade to BE 2010 R3 which is the latest version of BE 2010 and contains a lot of fixes. Your existing licence keys will work. You can download BE 2010 R3 from either the fileconnect site or
pkh, thanks for that link, I will check into that. I looked at the current install of BE2010 and found the license key for Backup Exec 2010 SBS Edition but I don't see license keys in there for the additional options (Exchange, SQL Server, Sharepoint). Should I be concerned about losing those functions when I upgrade to R3 if I don't see license keys for them? (I guess it depends whether I can install the newer version over top or if I have to remove/reinstall..?)
I ended up increasing the max file size on the B2D folder to 100GB - this seemed to be the only way that the test run would work, and the backup did work last night as well. And I did find the article that @backupexec mentioned - basically initializing the B2D folder with a small backup in order for it to work.
As for what would happen when I tried to actually run the backup before I messed with the B2D folders, the backup would fail with this message: "e000e020 - The job was scheduled to run, but the availability window closed before the job could start. There may not have been any destination devices available during the window, or the job may have been submitted to run when the window was closed."
You will not see a licence for Exchange, etc, because you are using the SBE edition and they are incorporated into the SBE licence. You will not loose your SBE licence when you do an in-place upgrade to R3.
Don't put too much store in test runs. Personally, I don't do test runs. The proof the pudding is in actual runs. When these have problems, then you can starting worrying.
Make sure that your B2D folder is online and ready. If necessary, go to the Devices tab and pause/unpause the folder.

Reviews for Frozen Blueberry Muffins
Sort By :
"Very good and easy to make. Didn't have frozen blueberries, so used frozen mixed berries instead. Kids loved them all the same. Will definitely make them again."
"Love this! Instead of muffins, I made a cake, much easier and very tasty. I halved the recipe. It turns out great every time."
"These are wonderful! If you love blueberry muffins, This Is The Recipe for you! They look spectacular and flavor is Delicious! I halved the recipe. The only change I did was to add 1 tsp lemon juice to the milk to enhance the blueberry flavor! Sooo Good! *****5-star muffins! Note: Anyone who rated these lower than 5-stars, did NOT follow the recipe."
"I halved everything in the recipe except the milk (on accident). I tried to compensate by adding another half cup each of flour and sugar. My coworkers thought they were amazing. This one is definitely going in my permanent recipe collection."
"This is by far the best blueberry muffin recipe I've every made. I did swap out 1/2 the sugar with Splenda (1 cup sugar + 1 cup Splenda) and didn't have milk so I made with water ... the muffins are still very moist and fluffy."

Astyanax (fish)
Astyanax is a genus of freshwater fish in the family Characidae of the order Characiformes. Some of these fish, like many of their relatives, are kept as aquarium pets and known collectively as tetras. With around 130 described species and new ones being described every few months, this genus is among the largest of the entire order; Hyphessobrycon also has more than 100 species, and which one is larger at any one time depends on whether more species have been recently described in one or the other.[1]
The blind cave fish, a form of A. mexicanus, is a famous member of this genus. A. jordani, a different but closely related blind fish, was formerly considered to form its own genus, Anoptichthys.
The type species is A. mexicanus, the Mexican tetra. The generic name comes from Astyanax, a character in Greek mythology, who was the son of Hector of Troy; in homage to this, several specific epithets also refer to the Iliad.[2]
Taxonomy and systematics[edit]
This genus is more or less defined as in 1917 by Carl H. Eigenmann. The lack of comprehensive phylogenetic analyses dealing with this genus is hindering a thorough review, and the relationships remain as indeterminate as the monophyly is doubtful.[3] Although included in Astyanax by FishBase, phylogenetic evidence supports moving A. aurocaudatus back to the monotypic genus Carlastyanax.[4]
The 144 currently recognized species in this genus are:[5][6][7]

Loved our stay at Kennett Square!! Would go back in a heartbeat!!
on June 09, 2015
Gilja was a real gem! She is a fantastic inkeeper/owner. We stayed in the Brandywine Room. Loved the huge granite porch and took advantage of the chairs to read and relax. Her garden is lovely and the location is so close to Kennett Square, which we easily walked to for food/drink. Gilja has a wonderful full breakfast. Staying at Kennett House feels like you're staying with family that you love! Don't miss the botanical gardens! Kennett Square is small town America.

We had a wonderful stay. Gilja is a perfect innkeeper, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was outstanding and beautifully served each morning.
on May 29, 2015
Kennett House is in the middle of Kennett Square, on the main East-West street, but the home is very quiet, even though I was in a room facing the street. The home sits back from the street, is sheltered by huge trees, with a large front lawn. Gilja the innkeeper was very accommodating for my late arrival, and breakfast was a great treat using local produce.

We had a lovely visit to Kennett Square and Kennett House B&B. Gilja went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The house is beautiful and comfortable and the breakfasts were wonderful.

Gilga was very sweet and very willing to please. Great location near town and a short ride to Longwood Gardens amongst other places. Great place, highly suggest it.

The innkeeper was charming, and she upgraded us to a suite. She paid heed to my interest in mushrooms and she prepared mushroom omelettes for breakfast. The house is gorgeous and the room was immaculate.
on March 30, 2015
My stay was enjoyable throughout. The home is beautiful with comfortable, tastefully decorated rooms and wonderful atmosphere. Private bathrooms with all supplies. The host/owner was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was outstanding! When I return to the Brandywine River area, this is where I will stay.
on March 10, 2015
What bliss to rise from a comfortable bed and be greeted with a five star breakfast. Food was delicious and the presentation elegant.
Based on the host's skill and knowledge of flavors, we took her advice and had a marvellous dinner just up the street.
on January 15, 2015
The Kennet House was a terrific bed and breakfast. Walking distance to town, outstanding breakfasts and Gilja couldn't be a nicer host. If we come back in the Spring, we will be sure to book again.

Carrying on Iraq war protest: Demonstrators return to Udall's office to back peer who may face jail
By Bruce Finley, Staff Writer
Denver Post
Article Last Updated: 07/24/2007 01:43:17 AM MDT
A spat between war protesters and U.S. Rep. Mark Udall has turned nasty with prosecutors insisting on jail time for a woman who "occupied" Udall's Colorado office in March.
Protesters returned to Udall's office Monday in support of Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center activist Carolyn Bninski, 57, who faces up to two months in jail for trespassing and unlawful assembly under terms of a plea agreement. She and four other protesters were arrested March 8 after they refused to leave Udall's office in Westminster.
IOWA: Do acquittals signal new openness to war protest?

Maybe this is a sign that elected officials' failure to end the Iraq war is wearing down Iowans' patience, and they're open to alternative ways to address it.
Neglect and Projection
in Damascus, Syria
July 12, 2007
For my Iraqi neighbors living here in Yarmouk Camp, the Palestinian example is hardly an uplifting reminder that it could be a very long time before they can safely return to their homes and lands. But, they were lucky enough to escape the nightmare of U.S. freedom and democracy in Iraq, and at least there is usually electricity here and clean water to drink, so they try to put on a happy face. Yarmouk, one of the three most popular destinations for the estimated 2,000 Iraqis crossing into Syria every day, is a primarily Palestinian refugee camp on the outskirts of Damascus.
In case you missed these articles...
Two important articles were recently published that show what has happened and is happening in Iraq, and what the results are for US troops and Iraqis alike. The first is "The Other War: Iraq Vets Bear Witness", in which The Nation has interviewed fifty combat veterans of the Iraq War from around the United States. The second "is the perfect companion to the piece independent reporter Dahr Jamail has written for Tomdispatch" and "through a series of wrenching emails Jamail has received recently from Iraq, you get a small sense of what the dark and horrific war the American vets described to Hedges and al-Arian, a war only escalating in brutality, looks like to the Iraqis"
The Other War: Iraq Vets Bear Witness
By Chris Hedges & Laila Al-Arian
The Nation - posted July 9, 2007 (July 30, 2007 issue)
Over the past several months The Nation has interviewed fifty combat veterans of the Iraq War from around the United States in an effort to investigate the effects of the four-year-old occupation on average Iraqi civilians. These combat veterans, some of whom bear deep emotional and physical scars, and many of whom have come to oppose the occupation, gave vivid, on-the-record accounts. They described a brutal side of the war rarely seen on television screens or chronicled in newspaper accounts.

Welcome To The Occupation: Sit-Ins at Senator's Offices, Part 1
July 9, 2007
by John Deeth
"This sucks!" said Lara Elborno, walking out of the Wells-Fargo building in downtown Cedar Rapids at about 5:30 on a Friday afternoon. "It's so anticlimactic!" Lara's Friday night plans had suddenly changed. She'd announced at a 1:00 rally "I'm so excited to get arrested with all you guys!" and minutes earlier she'd been in custody, jauntily flashing a peace sign at her supporters. But now she wasn't going to get to spend the night in jail.
Elborno and eighteen others had prepared for arrest as part of an "extra-legal lobbying" effort — otherwise known as a sit-in — at the Cedar Rapids offices of Iowa Senators Chuck Grassley and Tom Harkin. But in the end, the only person who went to jail was not among the nineteen who had expected to.

Twenty Iowans were arrested today for occupying or attempting to occupy Senators Grassley's and Harkin's Linn County offices in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Raging in ages from 20 to 72, participants were from seven cities in Iowa. The action was part of the Iowa Occupation Project, connected with the National Occupation Project out of Chicago IL.

BEAUMONT - by Scott Lawrence - Jack Brooks, who served more than 40 years in Congress as a member of the Democratic Party representing Southeast Texas, and who helped author the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act, has died after a sudden illness, according to a statement released by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
His funeral is scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday at the Montagne Center on the campus of Lamar University, according to a family member.
Watch KFDM News at 5, 6 and 10 for more on the life and political career of Jack Brooks.
He was 89. Brooks would have turned 90 on December 18.
Brooks died peacefully Tuesday night at Baptist Hospital in Beaumont, surrounded by his family.
According to the statement, the family asks that its privacy be respected as it grieves the loss. Arrangements are pending.
He and his wife Charlotte had three children and two grandchildren.
The Jack Brooks Federal Building and Jack Brooks Regional Airport are named in his honor. In addition to sponsoring historic civil rights legislation and other significant bills, including the Americans with Disabilities Act and funding for creation of the Port Arthur seawall and extension of the Galveston seawall, Brooks was a strong supporter of organized labor and NASA.
Brooks took pride in fighting to bring federal dollars to Southeast Texas, including money for economic development projects.
Brooks was one of the longest-serving congressmen in history. As a ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee he drafted the articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon.
On November 22, 1963, Brooks was in the motorcade carrying President John F. Kennedy and his wife through downtown Dallas when Kennedy was assassinated. Brooks was on Air Force One when Vice President Lyndon Johnson was sworn in as President.
Brooks was born in Crowley, Louisiana. In 1946, Brooks was elected to represent Jefferson County in the Texas Legislature and won re-election in 1948. He represented the Second Congressional District in Southeast Texas from 1953 through 1966, and the Ninth Congressional District from 1967 through 1995 until he was defeated by Republican Steve Stockman in an election that saw a number of Republicans sweep into office. A Democrat, Nick Lampson, defeated Stockman in the next election.
According to information from the Brooks Congressional Collection at the University of Texas' Center for American History, as a ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, Congressman Brooks helped write the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. He played a major role during the impeachment proceedings against President Richard M. Nixon. As the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Brooks sponsored significant pieces of legislation, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Civil Rights Act of 1991. He also served as the Dean of the Texas Congressional delegation from 1979 to 1995. A graduate of the University of Texas Law School, Brooks served in the Texas Legislature from 1946 to 1950.
HOUSTON (AP) - Jack Brooks, who spent 42 years in Congress representing his Southeast Texas district and was in the Dallas motorcade in 1963 when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, has died. He was 89.
Brooks died Tuesday night at Baptist Hospital of Beaumont after a sudden illness, according to a statement from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department. Brooks, who would have turned 90 on Dec. 18, was surrounded by family when he died, Deputy Rod Carroll said.
Brooks was among the last links to an era when Democrats dominated Texas politics and was the last of "Mr. Sam's Boys," protégés of fellow Texan and legendary 21-year Democratic House Speaker Sam Rayburn in the state's congressional delegation.
"I'm just like old man Rayburn," Brooks, from Beaumont, once said. "Just a Democrat, no prefix or suffix."
He also was a contemporary and supporter of Lyndon Johnson, who was U.S. Senate majority leader in the 1950s and later president.
Brooks was in the Dallas motorcade Nov. 22, 1963, when President Kennedy was assassinated. He's in the famous photo taken later that day aboard Air Force One at Dallas' Love Field, standing immediately behind the grief-stricken Jacqueline Kennedy as Johnson, his right hand raised, takes the oath of office from U.S. District Judge Sarah Hughes.
Brooks, first elected to the House in his far Southeast Texas district in 1952, was returned to office 20 more times and was on the verge of becoming the dean of the U.S. House when he was ousted in the Republican revolution of 1994.
Rayburn, whose 48 years rivaled Brooks' House tenure, put Brooks on the House Government Operations Committee, a panel Brooks eventually would chair. Brooks gained notoriety as a curmudgeon-like scourge of bureaucrats he grilled for wasting taxpayers' money, peering at witnesses over his glasses as he chewed on a cigar.
"I never thought being a congressman was supposed to be an easy job, and it doesn't bother me a bit to be in a good fight," Brooks once said.
A Brooks-authored law required full and open competition to be the standard for awarding federal contracts. The 1965 Brooks Act set policy for the government's computer acquisition program, requiring competitive bidding and central management. His Inspector General Act established independent Offices of Inspector General in major agencies to prevent fraud and waste.
Other Brooks bills reduced federal paperwork, provided a uniform system of federal procurement, eliminated overlapping audit requirements and established the Department of Education.
"He literally has saved American taxpayers billions of dollars through his actions in improving government efficiency and eliminating waste," former Texas Gov. Dolph Briscoe, a longtime friend who died in 2010, said two years earlier when Brooks donated his congressional papers, photos, correspondence and other items to the Center for American History at the University of Texas.
Brooks also served on the House Judiciary Committee, where he strongly supported President Richard Nixon's impeachment and drafted the articles of impeachment the judiciary panel adopted. Nixon, who resigned Aug. 8, 1974, referred to Brooks as "the executioner." Brooks would rise to committee chairman.
Jack Bascom Brooks was born Dec. 18, 1922, in Crowley, La., and moved to Texas at age 5. While in public schools, he worked as a carhop, grocery clerk, magazine salesman and a reporter for the Beaumont Enterprise. He attended Lamar University in Beaumont, then a two-year school, and earned a degree in journalism from the University of Texas. He served with the Marines in the Pacific in World War II and retired as a colonel from the Marine Corps Reserves in 1972. He received a law degree from the University of Texas and was a two-term Texas state legislator when he was elected to the U.S. House at age 29.
He supported civil rights bills, refused to sign the segregationist "Southern manifesto" in 1956, helped write the historic Civil Rights Act of 1964 that banned racial segregation.
His congressional longevity - figures showed there were 13,858 roll call votes during his tenure - was an issue for him and other long-serving Democrats who were swept from office in 1994. Brooks also had alienated gun owners for supporting a ban on assault weapons and abortion opponents for his support of abortion rights.
Brooks married Charlotte Collins in 1960 and the couple had three children, Jeb Brooks, Kate Brooks Carroll and Kim Brooks, and two grandchildren, Matthew Carroll and Brooke Carroll.

A Colorado mine waste spill that has polluted rivers in three western states with 3 million gallons of toxic slurry could make its way to Lake Powell, a key reservoir and tourist draw for the region, the National Park Service warned Thursday.
The mustard-colored sludge, released accidentally by the Environmental Protection Agency during efforts to clean up Colorado's Gold King mine, contains lead, arsenic, cadmium and other heavy metals — substances that can poison humans if ingested.

Federal Experts: Current El Niño Could Be Historically Strong
Federal meteorologists say the current El Niño is already the second strongest on record for this time of year and could be one of the most potent weather changers of the past 65 years.
The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration recorded unusual warmth in the Pacific Ocean in the last three months. El Niño is a heating of the equatorial Pacific that changes weather worldwide, mostly affecting the United States in winter.
US waterways at risk from thousands of defunct mines lacking cleanup funds
While crews begin the arduous task of cleaning up Colorado's Animas River — where contamination by heavy metals and toxins leaked from an abandoned hard rock mine turning the water orange — thousands of other natural sites across the American West remain at risk from similarly hazardous defunct quarries.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) estimates that there are currently 2,700 abandoned hard rock mines in need of environmental clean up. Nevada, nicknamed the "Silver State," has the most, with an estimated 1,100 sites raising environmental concerns.
California blaze explodes in size as wildfires roast West
Wildfires are charging through several states in the parched West, scorching homes and forcing people to flee. Flames are plaguing some California residents, who had to evacuate for the second time in recent weeks after blazes exploded in size.
Here's a look at wildfires burning through Western states:
A Northern California blaze more than doubled in size overnight despite cooler temperatures and higher humidity.
Massive Mine Waste Spill Reaches New Mexico
Just days after workers with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) accidentally spilled a million gallons of toxic mine waste into a Colorado waterway, the free-flowing sludge that turned portions of the state's Animas River orange reached New Mexico, where health and wildlife officials say they were not alerted to any impending contamination.
As the cities of Aztec and Bloomfield scrambled to cut off the river's access to water treatment plants, they criticized the EPA for what they said was a lackluster effort in providing warnings or answers about the spill. The contaminants seeping into the river—at a rate of 548 gallons per minute—include arsenic, copper, zinc, lead, aluminum and cadmium.
New wildfire erupts near destructive California blaze
A wildfire that broke out several miles southwest of a destructive fire in Northern California doubled in size overnight, charring nearly 8 square miles.
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection says evacuations have been ordered for the new fire that started Sunday. Containment was not in sight Monday morning.

The Making of 'Pirates of the Caribbean'
A brush with death, seasickness, four major locations, a pregnant star: Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, director Rob Marshall and Jerry Bruckheimer reveal the drama and fun behind the fourth film in Disney's epic $3 billion franchise.
READ THR's review of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
In July 2009, Rob Marshall boarded a plane from New York to Los Angeles for talks that would alter his career, impact a near-$3 billion franchise -- and almost cost him his life.
Marshall, then in postproduction on the Weinstein Co.'s Nine, was among the very few directors whom producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Johnny Depp had shortlisted to captain a fourth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean after Gore Verbinski, helmer of the initial trilogy, opted to make Rango instead.
Their selection was critical: The Pirates series hadn't just grossed $2.7 billion at the global box office, it had fueled everything from Disneyland tickets to huge merchandising deals. But it had been two years since the previous incarnation, 2007's At World's End, which was widely panned. Bruckheimer knew how important it was to get his director right, especially with a new Disney Studios regime about to take charge under chairman Rich Ross.
"Oh God!" Bruckheimer says. "It's big family entertainment based on one of their cherished rides; it drives business through the theme parks and reminds people of the Disney brand throughout the world."
More than that, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides would draw revenue from "theatrical, DVD and everything from pay TV to broadcast TV," Ross notes. "We have a deal with Lego for a video game, and a publishing program. And obviously, we have an intricate relationship with the parks."
Satisfying these constituents would be a major aspect of Marshall's job. It was a factor he had never dealt with before. A former choreographer whose first feature, Chicago (2002), won the best picture Oscar, he'd had a financial disappointment with Memoirs of a Geisha (2005), would soon have another with Nine and was untested on a movie of this scope, budgeted at well beyond $200 million.
"I wanted to find out from the beginning what they had in store," he recalls.
So on July 21, Marshall and Bruckheimer met with Depp in his Melrose Avenue offices and ranged over everything, discussing the length of the commitment, the characters, the shooting schedule and a script already in place by Pirates regulars Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio that centered on the search for the Fountain of Youth. It would abandon two central characters from the franchise, Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), whose story had concluded with a post-credits sequence in the third movie. In their place, the creative team introduced new characters: Blackbeard and his putative daughter, Angelica.
For Marshall, this act of reinvention was fundamental to the project's appeal. On Stranger Tides had "a whole new story line and set of characters. It felt new, and that was important to me."
By the end of the hourlong meeting, the project was a go.
"Rob is a very effusive man and very charming," Bruckheimer says. "After Johnny said yes, we started negotiating the deal."

City man jailed after break-in, scuffle with policeJuly 17,2014A Rutland man is behind bars on $5,000 bail after city police say he broke into a home on Baxter Street and then kicked and spat at officers who arrested him.
David H. Ames, 51, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court this week to felony charges of unlawful trespass in an occupied residence and burglary, as well as misdemeanor counts of unlawful trespass and simple assault with fluids against a law enforcement officer.
Ames was arrested Friday after a homeowner on Baxter Avenue called to report that an unknown man was in his upstairs apartment.
Ames, who has a different Baxter Street address, was led at gunpoint out of the home by the tenant. Police say that during his arrest, hand cuffs and leg restraints were applied to Ames, along with a spit mask because the suspect was repeatedly spitting at officers.
Ames allegedly pounded his head against the cage of a police cruiser and later banged his head repeatedly in a holding cell at the police station where he was "tied down" briefly. He was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center for treatment of self-inflicted injuries, police said.MORE IN This Just In
