DEP mandates Sussex water plant always be operating
Human error causes plant shutdown on July 4
SUSSEX BOROUGH — The state Department of Environmental Protection recently mandated that the Sussex Water Treatment plant run at all times.
The water plant was recently shut down on July 4 due to excessive turbidity — the cloudiness resulting from dirt spiking up in the water. After 3.3 inches of rain fell on July 3, the turbidity shot up to 125 Nephelometric Turbidity Univts.
Normally, the turbidity levels remain around 3-4 NTUs, with the cartridge cleaned NTUs after high turbidity below 20–30.
The atmosphere became tense at times between Furrey and the council. Both expressed frustration at the human error which caused the plant to shut down and the long, expensive list of improvements still needed for the plant.
Council President Marina Krynicky asked Furrey why the filters — the council spent $43,000 for a cartridge filter system on Dec. 17 — were not turned on.
Furrey said the plant did not have replacement cartridges because they had been used and were on back order. Instead, they used previously cleaned cartridges.
Councilwoman Linda Masson asked about the alarms used in order to avoid having an operator on site 24/7.
The council had spent $4,500 on a 32-channel solution alarm system to notify the water operator of problems, including high turbidity, on May 20.
Furrey said the alarms were replaced one week earlier.
Also, an operator received an alarm at 1 a.m. of overages in turbidity, but ignored it. Thus, the turbidity response was delayed. Furrey said he suspended the operator.
On top of the human error, the controls were affected by interrupted power and severe lightning. In response, Furrey called a programmable logic controller engineer to review the control system and computer alarms for three days. He is now confident everything functions properly and will prove to the DEP that the system is completely automated.
At the next meeting there will be a retroactive emergency order of under $8,000 to pay for the engineer.
Furrey gave the latest report to the DEP on July 14th and has not received an answer.
In order to comply with the new 24/7 mandate, Agra Environmental will amend its hourly charge from $75 to $50, for the extra 16 hours per day now needed. As of July 15, the borough will pay an unexpected $800, ever increasing until the mandate is resolved.
Furrey brought up again the need to dredge the Colesville Reservoir or remove the intake. He also said that the Colesville Reservoir quality has decreased because of increased: turbidity, organic matter, and significant amounts of bacteria.
Mayor Jonathan Rose said that there is a side stream which causes the turbidity. Furrey said the dredging quote for about 1/3 of the reservoir would be $30,000 to $40,000. Rose clarified that would be for 40 cubic feet of the reservoir. He also observed that possible dredging would be "intimately tied with the dam."

Yes, I agree! Selenium is toxic but it is not nuclear waste! If you handle it carefully as you would any other chemical, you will be just fine.
Wear gloves. Wear goggles. Wear an apron. Make sure you have adequate ventilation. Use all the safe practices that, if you are good photographer, you SHOULD already be using.
People use paint thinners and chemicals in their houses every day without a second thought. You sit in your car, sometimes, just two feet away from a tank full of flammable gasoline. Nobody worries about stuff like this in the least but I actually had one guy tell me that a "friend of a friend" got cancer from selenium toner because a few drops of it spilled on the floor. This guy truly believed that!
If you spill some toner, mop it up with plenty of detergent and water then put the dirty mops and utensils in a plastic bag, tie it up well and put it in the trash. If you spill more than a little bit of it, you would be wise to take the soiled materials to your local Haz-Mat Amnesty site.
For cryin' out loud! People shouldn't make this a huge issue.
You just have, there's plenty of equally toxic chemistry used in the dark room.

Your SelectionClear All
I bought these as I have recently started using a personal trainer.. I would recommend that if you have slightly bigger thighs that you buy a size up. I am normally a size 8 and really struggled to get the xs up my legs. They're not the stretchiest leggings in the world but they look amazing on. Slightly lower waisted than I prefer, so they slip down quite easily. They're not my 'go to' legging like I thought they would be, but they look great and are comfy enough. ... read more
I thought it was crazy paying $40 for sweats but it is well worth it! I got the medium & I usually wear a 6-8 & they're perfect.. I'm kinda short too 5'3 & the tampering at the legs make me happy!

I have never brought Adidas shoe before, but after receiving my 50% off voucher at work I decided to go and try a pair. I purchased 2 pairs of Supernova Glide Boost and I love them, I am on my feet from about 12-14 hrs a day 3 to 4 days a week with my work schedule. My feet didn't hurt by the end of my shift and i was able to walk an additional 5 miles my on first night of wearing my shoe. They are very stylous, and the comfort is undescribale (like walking on pillow), I love my new shoes and am going back to purchase 2 more to match my outfits. I also purchase 3 pairs of warm up and 3 shirts and was able to pick my size out and they fits with no issue which never really happens to me due to my large frame figure. ... read more
These pants are super cute and comfy! Their perfect for those cold walks in the fall and winter time. Whenever I wear them I get compliments from everyone!

This was a great fit and super bright, which I liked. Definitely brighter than the photo for sure. I liked that it was a thicker material and wasn't super tight around the middle. It was definitely comfortable. ... read more
These are lovely tracksuit pants that glide against the skin. I initially bought the XS (the size I normally wear) but found them fairly snug around the calf and knees and knew I couldn't cycle in them. The S are cool and baggy and a little loose around the tummy, but not enough for me to worry about. If you want to wear them to walk in - get your normal size. If you're planning on doing a few lunges / cycling in them, maybe go up a size! ... read more
Wore it for an easy 4 miler with my daughter, very comfortable and light, especially for this Houston heat & humidity! My abs aren't flat, covers those not so toned areas very well!! Husband took notice and said I look comfortable..will be buying as many as I can. Thanks Adidas ! ... read more

I bought this top in the blue colour and I absolutely love it. It's such good value for money and looks really great on. The fit is so flattering - it doesn't cling anywhere but is tight enough to run in. Very very lightweight so lovely in hot weather. However, I also bought this top in pink which is being returned. The colour is really fluorescent but the problem I have is that it's very see-through and I could see my belly button through the top which was a bit much! Don't know if this was a one off or all the pink vests are like this. ... read more

Writer congratulates protestors
To the Expositor:
I want to congratulate the protestors for standing up for their rights against the government and it's about time because this Bill C-45 is just going to destroy everything; the land itself and the rights of people and this will affect everybody, not just the aboriginals, because all of your rights are being taken away as human beings and this Harper government is just abusing his powers.
Also, the law and the Queen are in on this. All the laws of Canada are being broken because of Bill C-45 and the Harper government came up with ways of breaking those laws of Canada and they probably did it by meetings behind closed doors without anybody's knowledge or consultation with government officials. That's against the law because as a prime minister you do not have the power to do as you please, because they have to do a lot of consultation with other leadership in this country before a bill can be put through and also it has to be brought through the citizens so they know what's going on. That's what you call honesty and you do not order citizens around—that would be a dictatorship and that's also against the law. This is a free country because aboriginals signed that treaty in good faith and it has to be kept.
Citizens do have the power to fire the Harper government because we gave him the power and we also have the power to take it back and get a new leader and hopefully someone who is fair with some honesty because we can not be perfect either, we are only humans.Ron Osawabine Wikwemikong
The main man that has the power to 'fire' PM Harper would be the GoC Johnston, maybe that is a reason why he was not invited to the meet and dicussion with PM and AFN Atleo….. I think it is time for the government to just come on out and say what they really want…

As I reported previously, I got attracted to Envoy Capital Group Inc. (Public, NASDAQ:ECGI) during my day trading days. And like a stupid investor, rather than taking a loss and freeing up the capital to invest elsewhere, I hung on to it in the hope that it will eventually give me even a small profit.
Well, while I wouldn't recommend you do the next step either, but as the bottom fell out of the stock, I bought more in order to lower my overall cost, hoping to reach my goal, because it was clear that the stock had fallen so much that it would never reach its 2004 level. Now it does not always happen, but when the stock jumped, I made some profit by selling it but that meant that I was no longer able to lower my total cost of acquisition of the original stock. Actually, I did that three times as the stock was about to be delisted from NASDAQ and was trading around $0.79.
Today when the company turned a profit for its 1Q fiscal 2011 and the stock jumped almost 40%, I sold all the shares that I had. The net result is that I have essentially broken even. For all I know like WAVX this could be the rally that will take it to its glory, but this company is so small, the details about their business sketchy, and trade volume tiny, that the best thing is to avoid this stock like a plague. I wish I had done this a long time ago, but lesson learned. Now I have the money to invest some place else.

In an English village, a son awaits the undertaker after the death of his beloved mother. In a Serbian town, the murder of an archduke sends turbulence throughout Europe. Little does Inspector Ian Rutledge know how profoundly these deaths will affect his life.
Charles Todd's A Fine Summer's Day carries us back to 1914, before the war forever damaged a young inspector and an entire European generation. Resented by his superior for his upper class credentials, Rutledge must convince the obtuse, results-driven Chief Superintendent Bowles there is a pattern in seemingly unconnected murders. On the face of it, they all committed suicide. No one would drink that much laudanum unless they intended to end their life. But too many men of property are dying for no reason. Despite instructions, Rutledge resolves to unearth the common denominator before more innocent people lose their lives. While doing so, he must convince his fiancé that his profession is a true calling, not simply a whim easily discarded.
Rutledge, destined for a brilliant career at the Yard, is in love with Jean Gordon. He is determined to marry her despite advice against it. The daughter of a career Army officer who believes there is no greater glory than to serve King and Country, Jean urges Rutledge to claim that glory quickly, before the war ends. After all, it will all be over by Christmas.
This is the 17th entry in the Inspector Rutledge series by mother and son writing team David Todd Watjen and Carolyn L.T. Watjen. If you are new to the series, it's the perfect introduction to one of the best characters in historical fiction today. For current readers, it's deeply poignant to see Ian as he was before the war; idealistic, insightful, confident, composed. The Watjen's have won the Barry Award and were finalists for the Anthony, Edgar, Dilys, Macavity, Agatha and Nero awards. As we honor the memories of those who served 100 years ago, this outstanding historical fiction truly brings a lost generation to life.
Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the coolest movies to come out in the past year. It has awesome spaceships, explosions, a short-tempered raccoon with a penchant for heavy weaponry and an incredibly groovy soundtrack. But where did it all come from? There's a whole lot of work that goes into making a completely fantastic world — and a whole lot of people. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Art of the Movie brings credit where credit is due.
The book starts off with an explanation. Director James Gunn was initially going to turn the movie down. And then there was an epiphany, a moment when he realized that there was a whole lot to love about a talking raccoon. Then it's on to a history lesson. All the Marvel movies are based on pre-existing comic book characters, and the Guardians are no exception, with 50 years of continuity. Most of that continuity is now just a footnote. Yondu was a hero. Groot was once a villain who tried to take over the Earth. It's safe to say that the movie was so popular that every character who appeared in it will be rewritten from here on out.
The meat of the book is the concept art, from costumes to settings to characters and a whole lot of time spent on muscle starships. There were over 10 thousand pieces of concept art created for Guardians of the Galaxy, and a large, though not complete selection, can be found here. Little nuggets of information are dribbled on most pages, from methods for making costumes cool, stylish, reflective of historic periods, and simultaneously not interfering whenever a character goes to pull a blaster from their hip.
How do you make a galaxy and its guardians? Give a lot of talented artists free reign through history.
Missing children show up on milk cartons. What happens to missing adults whose disappearance may not trigger the same sense of urgency from law enforcement investigations? Novels The Missing Place by Sophie Littlefield and Descent by Tim Johnston combine taut suspense with a look at the family dynamics at play when an adult child vanishes.
Descent opens with Grant and Angie Courtland lazing in a Colorado hotel room bed while their son and college-bound daughter are out on an early morning mountain trail jaunt. A ringing telephone conveys the news to the parents that their Rockies summer vacation is now officially a nightmare. Sixteen-year-old Sean was found on the trail, unconscious and with a shattered leg; his older sister Caitlin has disappeared without a trace. Johnson examines the remaining Courtlands' unique reactions to the tragedy while unraveling the mystery of Caitlin's fate. Part family drama, part dark psychological thriller, Descent will keep the reader on tenterhooks to the end.
In The Missing Place, suburban Boston housewife Colleen Mitchell is flying to North Dakota armed only with a handful of text messages from her son Paul, who's gone missing after he dropped out of college to work as a roughneck in the booming hydrofracking industry. Colleen ends up sharing lodgings with Shay, mother to a young man who went missing along with Paul, and the two women from opposite sides of the tracks form an uneasy alliance to search for their sons. Colleen brings her corporate lawyer husband's financial resources to their quest while Shay brings tech savvy and street smarts, but is that sufficient to breach the cone of silence engineered by gas companies intent on guarding their bottom line? Littlefield, an Edgar Award nominee who writes for both adults and teens, deftly portrays the anguish of mothers determined to find their sons who end up uncovering some unexpected adult secrets, too.
Imagine that right this second you could be anywhere else in the world: Where would you go? What would you do? Who would you seek out? Where would your dreams take you?
Cent dreams of space. She can jump anywhere in the world. Space is a whole other set of challenges.
The ticking heart of a Steven Gould book is the hard science underlying a fantastic premise. Yes, Cent and her parents can jump anywhere in the world, but it's underpinned by physics. Playing around with the implications of instantaneous travel is only part of the package. Much of the rest of it comes from examinations of present day and near future space travel. The third pillar of a Steven Gould story is relatively normal characters living through the fantasy.
Exo is the fourth book in Gould's Jumper series, which climbed all the way to the box office in an almost completely unrelated movie. Every single book has looked at the implications of instant travel, and every book has shown new revelations. This is the first to take the concept into space and ponder questions with serious real world implications. We're unlikely to ever have the ability to teleport freely, but any method that could allow for cheap or free launches could change the course of human history in large and small ways. A long, positive look is taken at the idea of letting senior citizens spend time in the comfort of zero gravity, for instance.
It's not all science. There are broken hearts, patchy relationships, awkward family bonding and an organization of spies lurking in the background. But Exo is a fun, fast romp that plays with some big ideas.
It's hard to root against a 7-year-old named Millie Bird, the charming, precociously wise protagonist in Lost & Found, the heart-tugging debut by Australian author Brooke Davis. Millie just wants to find her mum, who has absconded from the large ladies' underwear section of a local department store. Fortunately, Millie crosses paths with two peculiar octogenarians who become the unlikely minders for the abandoned Millie. It falls to them to reunite the little girl with her wayward mom.
Millie desperately needs a "Dot Four" since her father has died and now her grief-stricken mother has disappeared. Connecting the three dots from mom to dad to herself meant Millie felt safe. But now the red-gumboot-wearing, curly headed youngster is obsessed with dead things and carries a "just in case" glass jar around. She finds herself on a bumpy road trip through Western Australia suburbia with two elderly companions, who are also thinking about death but for different reasons. Karl the Touch Typist nervously types letters in the air as he speaks. He misses his dead wife. Millie's neighbor, the sad and grumpy Agatha, has not left her house since her husband died seven years ago. "How do you get old without letting sadness become everything?" wonders Agatha. Indeed, it's but one of many questions asked in Davis' irresistible story that fuses the psychological reservoirs of grief with humor and the hopefulness of youthful perspective.
A suggested book club selection, Lost & Found may appear as a lighter read from its colorful, whimsical cover, but don't be fooled. Inspired by events in the author's own life, the novel was born out of a doctoral thesis on grief. Davis, whose own mother died suddenly in 2006, was "relearning the world" too, like her three distinctly voiced characters. With steady pacing and brief sectioned chapters, Lost & Found will strike a chord with anyone who has ever considered the many forms of missing someone and the different shapes of acceptance. Fans of The Rosie Project by fellow Australian author Graeme Simsion may also want to give this strong first effort a try.
Michael Pitre's Fives and Twenty-Fives is the perfect book for customers clamoring for their holds on Phil Klay's National Book Award-winning collection Redeployment. Like Klay, Pitre is also a former Marine who served in Iraq before returning home to chronicle his thoughts in writing, using fiction to reveal the realest truths.
Fives and Twenty-Fives reads as an assemblage of harrowing experiences Pitre survived while on active duty, told through three characters whose stories are woven into a moving novel. These three Marines comprise a portion of an Iraq Road Repair Platoon that sweeps U.S. military routes through the desert in search of hidden explosives. Donovan, the lieutenant, tries to lead and represent his squad while combatting the weight of self-loathing and the isolation of rank amidst imminent ambush. Lester "Doc" Pleasant is the platoon's medic responsible for the lives of his teammates, but after witnessing a Marine overlook a live bomb, he resorts to his field kit for solace. Road Repair's interpreter is an intelligent third-world post-grad named Kateb, known as callsign "Dodge" by his platoon. Dodge harbors an internal war between morality and loyalty that keeps him distanced from the Marines. Whenever his wall of superficiality is breached by violence, Dodge folds into a disheveled copy of Huck Finn and reflects on the university life that was stolen from him.
With a supporting unit of strongly humanized soldiers, Road Repair wages perpetual war with scorching desert conditions and treacherous insurgent traps. Pitre illustrates these losing battles without overwhelming readers with military jargon or trivializing the emotions and dispatches. Even with checks like fives and twenty-fives in place, it's impossible to return from deployment unscathed.
Sometimes the Wolf: A Novel by Urban Waite is about a small town sheriff and his son. Thinking about Andy Griffith? Only if Andy is in jail for dealing drugs, Opie's married and a deputy himself, Barney Fife is in charge and Aunt Bea doesn't exist. In other words, this isn't Mayberry.
Bobby Drake, deputy in Silver Lake, Washington, has a lot on his plate. He is tracking a rogue wolf through the Cascade Mountains, his marriage is strained and his father Patrick, a former Silver Lake sheriff, is newly free on parole after serving 12 years for his part in a drug smuggling ring. He is also moving in with Bobby. Add in a DEA agent who is determined to pin an unsolved murder and theft of a few hundred thousand dollars on Patrick, as well as a chilling pair of escaped convicts who are chasing after both Patrick and the money, and Bobby is stressed. Trying to understand why his father, an officer of the law, became a criminal strains the relationship between the two men to the point of breaking.
Waite's writing is sometimes compared to Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men, with his matter-of-fact prose and tense stories which march along a seemingly inevitable path of increasing violence, creating a sense of both dread and anticipation for the reader. Loyalty and vengeance propel this father and son thriller as Sometimes the Wolf reveals that redemption can come when least expected.
The rugged terrain of Derbyshire provides a melancholy backdrop for Already Dead by Barry Award winner Stephen Booth. The summer rains bring mud, floods and a corpse laying in a shallow ditch. Detective Diane Fry, substituting as team leader for the absent Ben Cooper, gloomily ponders a crime scene as it is inexorably swept downstream. There is more bad news: the victim is an unassuming insurance agent who lives at home with his mother and doesn't have enough of a personality to like or dislike. Who would want to kill such a person? Struggling to inspire loyalty from another detective's team, Diane remembers the qualities that make Ben Cooper such a good detective and wonders where in the world he is.
Tragically, Ben Cooper lost his fiancée while they were both investigating a crime scene. Trapped in a fire, Ben desperately attempted to reach her, only to be overcome by smoke and flames. Recovering from his injuries, he is trapped in a nightmare of memories of that deadly night and his single-minded resolve to gain justice for his murdered fiancée. For murder it was – it was arson. Deliberate, callous, reckless disregard for human life to make a profit. But the law doesn't always provide redress, and the guilty sometimes go free. Devastated, Ben spends his days roaming the Dales, biding his opportune moment for revenge.
This taut police procedural featuring Detective Sergeants Diane Fry and Ben Cooper is the 13th entry in the series. While the other offerings in this series are all equally satisfying, this work could read as a standalone, as the author provides a vivid portrayal of the preceding events. Booth consistently provides deep insight into the inner workings of the British constabulary, particularly the plight of the more rural districts. Well-drawn characters, compelling moral situations and good old-fashioned police work can always be found in Booth's work. Fans of Peter Robinson, Elizabeth George and Ruth Rendell will find a new friend in this author.
Acclaimed Australian author Colleen McCullough died at age 77 following a long illness. McCullough wrote over 20 novels during the span of her long career, which began with the publication of her first book in 1974. Her most recent novel, Bittersweet, shared the story of four sisters navigating love, life and loss in 1920s Australia.
It's the mega blockbuster, The Thorn Birds, for which McCullough will be most remembered. A sweeping romantic saga spanning three generations of an Australian family, it was the most talked about book of its day and sold 30 million copies worldwide. The paperback rights alone sold for $1.9 million, and the miniseries featuring Richard Chamberlain, Rachel Ward and Barbara Stanwyck was the second highest rated miniseries of all time.
McCullough always stretched herself as a writer, trying her hand at different genres. Her mystery series featuring Carmine Delmonico, a police captain in a small Connecticut college town was critically well-received, and her Masters of Rome series, a seven-book, impeccably researched historical series, had fans in the political realm, including Henry Kissinger and Newt Gingrich. Explore her legacy...
Like members of our social circle, books occupy certain roles in our reading sphere. Goodnight Moon: the childhood friend you don't see these days, but whom you remember oh-so-fondly. Jane Eyre: that friend of many years who is there when you need her. A Game of Thrones: your current best bud who may actually end up standing the test of time.
If How to Be Parisian, Wherever You Are: Love, Style and Bad Habits were in your social circle, she would be that vivacious friend whom you adore, but also slightly fear — that glamourous, audacious, slightly selfish girl who challenges you to embrace your inner chic. She is intriguing, she is original, and she is not quite stable. She is who you would gladly be for a day… but no longer.
Like that friend, How to Be Parisian, by Anne Berest, Audrey Diwan, Caroline De Maigret and Sophie Mas, is best enjoyed in doses.
The work of four friends, themselves bona fide Parisiennes, How to Be Parisian offers unique insights into the mind and character of the modern Parisian coquette. Engaging, mercurial and unapologetically egocentric, this quartet of Parisiennes cum authors might raise a few hackles with their blasé attitudes toward certain subjects covered, such as children as accessories or rules for keeping a lover on the side. At such times, the reader would do well to recall that, despite the title's suggestion, How to Be Parisian is not to be understood as an instruction manual for the reader's own life. Rather, it is a delicious opportunity to slip into the role of The Parisienne for an hour or so — with all her flaws, foibles and je ne sais quoi.
A caveat: Organization of theme is not this book's strong point. Pithy, engaging monologues, whimsical photography and lists upon lists are where this volume shines. The key to enjoying How to Be Parisian is to remain uncommitted, to dally as it were, among its pages. Flip open the table of contents, ignore the ostensible chapter headings, and select whichever of the enticing subject headings attracts you most. It's what a Parisienne would do.

Apart from the relevant commercial implications, due to its position in the tree of life and the recent discovering of sexual chromosomes in its genome, Carica papaya is an excellent study model to answer a series of interesting questions related to the evolutionary history of flower plants. From this discovery, the researchers have already identified that its genome contains fewer genes than that of the Arabidopsis (a small annual herb), in spite of being three times bigger than it. According to the researcher from Granada, the lack of recent phenomenon of gene duplication, frequent in angiosperms genomes, can be behind of this observation. Despite this, it has been detected a significant increase in the number of genes related to arboreal development, the deposition and removal of starch reserves, the attraction of agents responsible for spreading the seeds and the adaptation to the length of the day in a tropical climate.
Other important crops
Experts predict that this new genome will offer numerous advantages as a reference system for comparative genomics with other fruit trees, and will be the basis to study morphological, physiological, medicinal and nutritional properties of other plants belonging to the order of the Brassicales, where papaya is included, which includes economically important crops such as cabbage, cauliflower, whitewash brush, mustard or turnip. Likewise, they expect papaya to be a reference organism for the study of the evolution of sexual chromosomes in plants.
Dr Navajas Prez, who at present is working on the sequencing of the determinant region of the sex in the sexual chromosomes of papaya and whose research career has been focused on different aspects of plants sexual determination, intends, in a near future, to implement a research work in the UGR directed to sex early diagnosis in vegetal species of economic interest for Andalusia, as well as for the study of other mole

"ClearWay Minnesota has a history of launching new and innovative campaigns during the Super Bowl," said Jerry Fury, Vice President Creative Director at Clarity Coverdale Fury, the Minneapolis advertising agency that created the campaign. "The campaign's power is in the message that 'we all pay the price of tobacco.' That sentiment really hits home for the majority of Minnesotans, who have all been touched in some way by the devastating consequences of tobacco use."
The We All Pay the Price campaign will run through June. To view the television spot, contact Kerri Gordon for a copy on DVD, or visit www.weallpaytheprice.com on Friday, January 30.
All Minnesota adults have access to free professional stop-smoking help through QUITPLAN(R) Services, including free nicotine patches, gum or lozenges. During the past eight years, more than 12,700 Minnesotans quit smoking with the help of QUITPLAN Services. Call 1-888-354-PLAN or visit www.quitplan.com for more information.
ClearWay Minnesota is an independent, nonprofit organization that improves the health of Minnesotans by reducing the harm caused by tobacco. ClearWay Minnesota serves Minnesota through its grant-making program, QUITPLAN(R) stop-smoking services and statewide outreach activities. It is funded with 3 percent of the state's 1998 tobacco settlement.

Besides Lupani Primary School and Machenje Fishing Lodge, a number of other key AWF projects—in this area that includes Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe—are bringing benefits to wildlife and people in the Kazungula landscape.
It was a cool and rainy morning for a game drive. The weather and lush green landscape, combined with the curves in the road, made it difficult to spot wildlife until we were within close proximity.
What will it take to crush the ivory trade? This is the question governments and conservation groups like AWF are grappling with, as Africa's elephants—and, unfortunately, many other species—continue to fall prey to the illegal wildlife trafficking industry.
To some African communities, the presence of wildlife is perceived as a threat to their livelihoods. Elephants are crop eating, water tank tipping nuisances. Lions are cattle attacking predators. Routine chores involve the added danger of stumbling upon a hippo or crocodile at the riverbank.
To others, where there is wildlife, they see opportunity. For many African nations, tourism is one of the fastest-growing economic sectors. In fact, Tanzania's earnings topped 1.88 billion US Dollars in 2013, superseding gold as their number one foreign exchange earner.
By 2017, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is expected to have 20 million people passing through it each day. That's a lot of people. When that many people are passing through, there's a huge likelihood of more rhino horn or elephant ivory passing through the airport and out of the country. It's quite worrying.

In the Sooners first four games away from Norman, opponents had averaged 425 total yards and 29.5 points. Baylor compiled similar stats but they were skewed because the Sooners led 53-10 after three quarters.
OU football notebook: Sooner defense shuts down Baylor offense
OU's defense was dominant against one of the nation's highest ranked offenses. Through three quarters, the Sooners held the Bears to 220 yards, 12 first downs and 10 points.
The Sooners' biggest test of the season will be this week in Stillwater. Oklahoma State leads the nation in total offense (552.0 yards a game) and is third in scoring (45.3).
Middle linebacker Austin Box, making his second consecutive start, was playing well before leaving in the second quarter with an apparent ankle injury. Box did not return.
Freshman running back Roy Finch was shaken up early in the fourth quarter when he was involved in a helmet-to-helmet collision with Baylor safety Ahmad Dixon. Finch lowered his pads and ducked his head but crashed into Dixon's helmet. A groggy Finch was on the turf for five minutes before being helped from the field.
In the first half, Finch's 8-yard touchdown run was a highlight reel play. Finch was hit at the 5-yard line but used his arm to maintain his balance and bounced up to bolt into the end zone.
Safety Quinton Carter, who has battled a neck injury for more than a month, left the game with less than five minutes left. Medical officials were checking Carter's left shoulder but it might be a chronic neck injury Carter originally suffered at Missouri.
Earlier this month, Carter said: "My neck hurt like I had a really bad nerve. It's pretty sensitive... It's like a really bad stinger (but worse). I've had bad stingers in the past and this doesn't compare to any of those."
Quarterback Landry Jones also got up slowly after taking a hard hit in the third quarter. Jones finished the drive before coach Bob Stoops inserted backup Drew Allen on the next series.
In his first career start at defensive end Ronnell Lewis intercepted a Robert Griffin pass and returned it 12 yards for a touchdown on the second play of the second half. Tony Jefferson also recorded an interception on the final play of the first half when Griffin attempted a Hail Mary pass into the end zone.
Pryce Macon made his first career start at defensive tackle. A converted defensive end, Macon's first career start was against Texas. Macon has played a reserve role in recent weeks since being moved inside to compensate for a lack of depth at defensive tackle.

Flying is the only way to get close enough to a cloud to milk it or to visit your secret sky family. Break free from earthly bonds with this Groupon.
First-time pilots may invite a passenger along to witness their inaugural experience behind the sky-wheel. After 15 minutes of ground instruction, the crew of one or two piles into the plane with a certified flight instructor for up to 60 gravity-defying minutes. Afterwards, the pilot gets a gift-package that includes a logbook and a certificate recording their accomplishment, an invitation to a private pilot ground school, and other goodies including discounted museum tickets, a pilot-training DVD, and a six-month subscription to Flight Training Magazine.
This package doubles down on the First Flight Experience above, and throws in an intimate dinner for good measure. Once their earth-shackles are unlocked, the two guests and the instructor take off from Republic Airport in Farmingdale and aim their vessel towards Waterbury, Connecticut. There, they enjoy dinner at 121 Restaurant, then head back to home base. Each customer can take the rudder for one leg of the flight, or opt to let one of the two fly both there and back.
Groups fly from Manhattan to Republic Airport in a helicopter, where they land and are assigned a team and an instructor for an afternoon of extreme-sport competition. Each team boards a Piper Warrior aircraft and sets out for Calverton. Clients do 80% of the flying. The instructor sets out special challenges and each team member racks up points until they reach skydive Long Island, where they leap out of the plane in a tandem jump from 13,500 feet above sea level. More challenges await on the way home, and after landing at Republic, the points are tallied up and the winning team announced.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tesla wonderful canned food My dogs love it too bad they won't eat their dry kibble as well. November 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by okmaestra Love it! My dogs (miniature dachshund, chiweenie) are picky eaters. I'd been using another brand of dog food, but had Nutro recommended to me and tried it. The girls love it - they eat it up immediately and leave the dry food (also Nutro) until later. It's less expensive than the food I was feeding them, so I'm really happy with this. April 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by CowboyBob333 My Pom loves it! Was looking for some better quality food for my Poms sensitive stomach. He loves this food & it seems to agree with him better. He is also eating better, so its been a good product for him & me. August 5, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5 by CaninesCook Smells Delicious All I know is this dog food smells great and I guess the dogs agree because they really hoover it down as fast as they can. This brand was recommended to me by my vet which is another definite plus. May 6, 2015

With the world population living longer and needing more care, the healthcare field is one of the best places to get a job and will likely stay that way for many years to come.
In addition, nursing is a highly regarded profession. A Gallup Poll announced that the public voted nurses number one for "honesty and ethical standards of various professions."

I was so preoccupied with last week's State Bar Annual Meeting that I overlooked a significant development relevant to Texas appellate practitioners: the release of a uniform docketing statement for the intermediate courts of appeals. View the official announcement here.
A docketing statement is an administrative tool used to collect and provide the court of appeals with information about your case. Filing one is not jurisdictional, but the appellate rules require it. Among other things, clerk's offices use the information to screen for jurisdictional defects.
If you've ever completed a docketing statement, you'll love the new form. Before, different courts of appeals utilized different forms that had to be downloaded from each court's website. Spacing and formatting were inconsistent, and overwriting a docketing statement from an earlier case didn't always work well.
The new uniform docketing statement is a clean, well-thought-out, fillable PDF. It is available in the forms section of each court's website (all of which are linked here). Take a peek to the right of this text for a sense of what the document looks like.
Believe me, this is a big improvement over what we had before. Many thanks to the Office of Court Administration and the committee of appellate-court clerks who made this happen.

Surgical Review Corporation (SRC), an organization dedicated to pursuing surgical excellence, formulates and establishes the rigorous standards with which the MFA Division of Bariatric Surgery and other Centers of Excellence must comply, thoroughly inspects and evaluates each candidate for designation, and upon review recommends approval of designation for those physicians and facilities whose practices and outcomes meet the stringent demands set forth by SRC for ASMBS.
Obesity has become a significant national health issue, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reporting that 66 percent of all U.S. adults are overweight or obese. Morbid obesity is closely correlated with a number of serious conditions that severely undermine the health of overweight patients, including heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Bariatric surgery, when performed correctly, can help obese patients manage these conditions. By definition, surgeons with ASMBS Center of Excellence designations practice only top-quality care, ensuring efficacy of the procedure with each patient to the best of their abilities.
As a pioneering organization, designating Centers of Excellence based on top quality care and efficacious outcomes, the American Society for Bariatric Surgery, with the help of SRC, is working to align the common interests of patients, surgeons, hospitals and insurers, all of whom suffer when complications develop after surgical care.

My Autumn Salad
In celebration of Fall Break, I'm beginning with my yummy autumn salad. One day in . . . August? . . . I chopped the ingredients in my refrigerator and created one of my new favorite combinations. This salad isn't missing a single component because it's fresh, roasted, tangy, sweet, crunchy, chewy, and creamy. Since that first miracle of a day, I've remade this mélange four times. It's that good.
The ingredients will tumble together and blend in your mouth in the most delicious of ways. The most satisfying part is spearing big chunks of chewy butternut squash, fresh figs, and roasted pecans. While most salads leave you wanting more, this one will fill you up and leave you felling full. I used bleu cheese. If you don't like the moldy crumbles, I want you to try them again. Did you know that it takes seven attempts at a new food for the average person to enjoy a new flavor? The bleu cheese makes this salad. Alas, if you're really that stubborn, use goat cheese.
A homemade balsamic dressing tops this stunner of a salad and completes its deep flavors. Just because summer is gone doesn't mean that salads aren't an option. Switch up the flavors from tomatoes and mozzarella and you can have your salads all year-round. :)
My Autumn Salad
A Teenage Gourmet. For an extra bite and one more ingredient, red onion is a great addition. Serves one.
- Two handfuls of mixed greens
- Generous sprinkle of roasted, cubed butternut squash
- Two figs, quartered
- 10-ish roasted pecans (just microwave for 60 seconds)
- 1 ounce crumbles bleu cheese
- red onion (optional)
- balsamic dressing
You know how to assemble a salad, don't you? ;)

Indeed I know how to make a salad – and this one sounds absolutely amazing! I had fresh figs for the first time ever the other day, and while they were good, I don't think I had good ones. They weren't incredibly flavourful, just a little sweet. Hmmm.
I'm allergic to figs! Tear, tear.
Without even adding the phrase "for your age" — I just have to tell you that you have a great writing style and a wonderful way of decribing even the simplest of eating pleasures. I'm a big fan!
Your salad looks delicious! I agree with Rosemary- you are a fabulous writer. I love your style, too! :-)
This salad sounds absolutely delicious! I love the entire flavor combination, and as much as I despise bleu cheese, I think I'm going to have to try it again (as I always do) in hopes that this time, I will like it! =)

WALLA WALLA — A man who broke into a woman's home and assaulted her in January 2011 has been found not guilty by reason of insanity.
Patrick M. Walmsley, 42, entered such pleas this morning in Walla Walla County Superior Court to charges of first-degree burglary — domestic violence, second-degree assault — domestic violence, and second-degree malicious mischief.
Judge Donald W. Schacht determined the insanity pleas were appropriate and signed an order committing Walmsley to Eastern State Hospital in Medical Lake for treatment. Experts there will determine if and when it's safe to release Walmsley and under what conditions he will be placed.
The state departments of Corrections and Social and Health Services will jointly supervise him for the rest of his life.
Walmsley was arrested in early 2011, but was released on bond three days later. He since has been under the care of and monitored by a psychiatrist, a counselor and his brother.
Walmsley underwent a court-ordered mental evaluation and based on the results, was found competent to stand trial.
But based on a private evaluation, he was found to be criminally insane.
Schacht ordered that Walmsley's brother transport him to Eastern State Hospital on Nov. 2.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Michelle Mulhern told Schacht in court this morning that if Walmsley had been convicted of the charges against him, his maximum prison term would have been 34 months followed by a year of community custody.
Ordering Walmsley to undergo treatment, followed by ongoing, prolonged supervision as the result of his insanity pleas, "ensures community safety the best and ensures accountability the best," Mulhern said.
The victim, Rachel Scott, agrees with the outcome of the case.
According to police, Walmsley entered Scott's bedroom at 410 Chase Ave., Apt. 103, about 1 a.m. Jan. 16, 2011. He struck Scott in the mouth with a baseball bat, tearing her bottom lip and causing it to bleed, according to a police report filed in court.
Walmsley then used the bat to smash the apartment's front picture window as Scott was calling 911, officials said. He was detained outside by a witness who ordered him to drop the bat and get on the ground until police arrived.
Walmsley and Scott had been friends since they were children. Walmsley had pressed Scott to enter into a dating relationship, but she rebuffed his advances, according to the police report.

Labour market regulations have important implications for both the incidence of cross-border acquisitions, and the outcomes for acquiring firms. This column explores how variations in labour regulations between countries affect cross-border acquisitions and subsequent firm performance. For a sample of 50 countries, firms are found to enjoy larger returns when they acquire a target in a country with weaker labour regulations than the acquirer's home country.

There is a consensus among economists that 'deep roots' – geography, natural endowments, and institutions – are important determinants of prosperity differences across countries. This column argues that deep roots matter, but they are neither the whole story nor an excuse for political inaction today. Current policies are important – especially the broad range of policies that shape the business environment and the sophistication of companies – and they are affected but not determined by the past.
Coen Teulings, Friday, July 11, 2014
The financial crisis and the Great Recession have led to calls for more economic history in economic education. This column argues for a much broader use of history in economics courses, as a device for teaching both the logic and the empirical relevance of economics. A proposed curriculum would include the rise of agriculture, urbanisation, war, the rule of law, and demography.
Enrico Spolaore, Romain Wacziarg, Thursday, October 3, 2013
There is now widespread agreement that 'deep' history matters for comparative development. Recent research has shown that ancestry – the transmission of genetic and cultural traits across generations – matters more than the history of geographic regions. This column argues that long-term divergences in inherited traits can create barriers to the diffusion of technology. The greater a population's genetic distance to the population on the technological frontier, the lower its relative income will be. Development policies should aim at reducing barriers to exchange and communication.
Alberto Alesina, Stelios Michalopoulos, Elias Papaioannou, Sunday, November 18, 2012
This paper explores the consequences and origins of contemporary differences in well-being across ethnic groups within countries. The authors show that ethnic inequality is strongly inversely related to per capita income, and that differences in geographic endowments across ethnic homelands explain a sizable portion of contemporary ethnic inequality. This deeply rooted inequality in geographic attributes across ethnic regions is also negatively related to comparative development.
Diego Comin, Mikhail Dmitriev, Esteban Rossi-Hansberg , Sunday, November 11, 2012
This paper studies empirically technology diffusion across countries and over time, finding significant evidence that technology diffuses slower to locations that are farther away from adoption leaders. The authors document the significant role that geography plays in determining technology diffusion across countries.
John C Bluedorn, Akos Valentinyi, Michael Vlassopoulos, Tuesday, December 15, 2009
Hot countries tend to be poorer. This column uses the cross-century, cross-country variation in climatic temperatures to estimate the effects of historic temperature upon current incomes. The negative relationship between current temperature and income appears due to temperature variations in the 18th and 19th centuries. That suggests that the consequences of climate change may be felt for a very long time.
Nathan Nunn, Diego Puga, Wednesday, June 6, 2007
African nations with 'bad' terrain suffered less from the slave trade. More than a century after the slave trade ended, the protective benefits of ruggedness still outweigh its contemporary economic disadvantages when it comes to GDP per capita.

Our Hotel in Brazil Robbed by Armed Gunmen
My birthday trip to Brazil was cut short because armed gunmen robbed our hotel in Buzios, Rio de Janeiro on the evening of Oct. 16th, 2013 at 9:30pm. Employees of the hotel and my travel partner were taken hostage but I escaped being held hostage due to falling through a roof onto concrete and deciding to hide in an employee bathroom. Police were called to the hotel but the robbers were able to escape. Over $1000 in cash was taken from my travel partner and additional money and items taken from the hotel staff. Although I was injured trying to escape, I am simply happy to be alive. I keep saying through the pain that "feeling pain means I am alive." My immediate concern was getting out of Buzios and then getting out of Brazil. Our ordeal began when the gunmen knocked on our hotel room door with a gun to the head of the hotel's receptionist. My travel partner immediately slammed the door and barricaded it as the gunman tried to kick it open. We both escaped through our 2nd story hotel room patio door. We ran to escape but I eventually fell through the roof to the 1st level while my travel partner jumped to the neighboring home's backyard area where he was eventually captured by the gunman and held hostage with the hotel staff. I believe my falling through the roof is what saved us because the 2 gunmen believed I had escaped, not realizing I was too injured to continue to run. It was absolutely the most horrifying hour of my life. I've never been more scared and ready to return home to safety. After being taken to the police station to file a report and to the hospital in Buzios for X-rays, we organized a 3 hour drive to Rio the city in preparation for an immediate early return home in Atlanta. I literally cried arriving into Rio's airport yesterday evening on Oct. 17th and couldn't wait to land on American soil and to hug my daughter, my Mom and my Brother. I arrived home this morning, Oct. 18th at 6:30am. The Brazilian news has covered the story at http://g1.globo.com/rj/regiao-dos-lagos/noticia/2013/10/bandidos-fazem-refens-em-assalto-hotel-de-luxo-em-buzios-no-rj.html

… And Dave Has His Book List
Heading into August, beaches and books beckon. While it's nice to curl up with a page-turning, mind-free thriller, this summer of our great recessionary discontent might be a good time to bone up on things finance and investing.
There's certainly been plenty of news in the past several months, and many books have come out to chronicle all that has gone awry with the economy and the markets.
So, here's a short reading list that includes current items as well as a few classics:
"Bailout Nation: How Greed and Easy Money Corrupted Wall Street and Shook the World Economy" by Barry Ritholtz.
Mr. Ritholtz is a financial commentator who has drawn a large following to his blog, The Big Picture (ritholtz.com). Several people have written books about the current crisis, but Mr. Ritholtz succeeds in laying out all that transpired in easy-to-understand language. If you want to know how we got into this mess and what might still be coming, this is the book for you.
"Street Fighters: The Last 72 Hours of Bear Stearns, the Toughest Firm on Wall Street" by Kate Kelly.
The collapse of Lehman Brothers last September may have sparked the conflagration, but it was the failure of Bear Stearns in March 2008 that really started it all. Ms. Kelly, who covered the saga for The Wall Street Journal, has written a tale that reads nearly like a thriller. Once noted for its tough risk management and shrewd survival skills, Bear Stearns failed because of hubris and outlandish management foolishness.
"When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management" by Roger Lowenstein.
As the book of Ecclesiastes tells us, there is nothing new under the sun. And reading this book will remind you of that. Mr. Lowenstein, a former Journal writer, chronicles the 1998 failure of LTCM -- which used complex models, enormous confidence and incredible amounts of borrowed money. Its "can't lose" gambits failed terribly, nearly cratering the financial system. Sound familiar?
"Manias, Panics and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises" by Charles P. Kindleberger.
Understanding history helps people avoid past mistakes. Apparently not enough people read Mr. Kindleberger's classic before last year. This seminal book outlines various panics of the past, ranging from the 1929 market crash to the California gold rush to the South Sea Bubble. While the current panic may be ebbing, Mr. Kindleberger's book tells us that manias, panics and crashes will always be somewhere up ahead.
"The Intelligent Investor: The Definitive Book on Value Investing. A Book of Practical Counsel (Revised Edition)" by Benjamin Graham and Jason Zweig with Warren E. Buffett.
Even in troubled times, perhaps especially in troubled times, smart investors look for good buys. Warren Buffett, a disciple of Mr. Graham, embodies this notion perhaps best of all today. While his company, Berkshire Hathaway, has struggled recently, Mr. Buffett's long-term track record is really rather incredible. "The Intelligent Investor" is considered one of the defining texts concerning value investing: finding companies to buy at a reasonable price. Strikingly, many investors eschew the notion and have paid a price for it. Mr. Zweig is a Journal columnist.
"The Worldly Philosophers: The Lives, Times and Ideas of the Great Economic Thinkers" by Robert L. Heilbroner.
Mr. Heilbroner's book romps through the ideas of all the big names, including John Maynard Keynes, Karl Marx, Adam Smith and David Ricardo. He places their ideas in context and shows how economic thought has evolved over the past few hundred years. It may sound like a daunting topic, but it's a remarkably quick read and it will arm you for cocktail conversations for years to come.
"Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" by Edwin Lefevre.
When I became a stock-market reporter 15 years ago, this is the first book I read. It is a barely fictional story based on the notorious exploits of the 1920s ubertrader Jesse Livermore. While the 20s may seem long ago, the book illustrates how the heart of a trader is an unchanging thing. Scratch a trader today and not far beneath the skin is the risk-taking, thrill-seeking mindset embodied in this book.

Saybia is a Danish rockband that formed in Nyborg in 1993. They released three EPs before signing to EMI in the spring of 2001, after which they started working on their debut album The Second You Sleep. When this album was finished, the band started touring through Europe. In 2003, the band was about to break up. After recognizing this, the five bandmembers bought an old house on a Swedish island, renovated it and turned it into a studio. Saybia spent months on this island and wrote and recorded a lot of songs for These Are the Days, which was released in 2004.

Sara Felder is a solo theater artist, playwright and juggler. While the themes of her plays and performances are serious, her form is comic, engaging, vaudevillian. She strives to integrate personal experiences with the urgency of this moment in history. Out of that mix she creates funny and provocative theater. Sara began performing in 1984 with San Francisos Pickle Family Circus. She has also toured with Jugglers for Peace in Cuba, the Womens Circus in Nicaragua, Joel Greys Borscht Capades and at Festivals of Jewish/Yiddish Culture in Berlin, London, Amsterdam, New York, Los Angeles and Toronto. Through juggling, she has been able to find her theatrical voice, create compelling performance, teach alternative populations and pursue social justice. The Bay Area Reporter said Calling Sara Felder a juggler is a little like referring to Michelangelo as that guy who painted ceilings.
