A Quartet Remixes Its Mixed Chemistry
By JAMES R. OESTREICH
Published: May 5, 2002
ACLASSICAL-MUSIC ensemble bears little resemblance to a professional football team — except when it comes to changing personnel. Players lost to retirement, injury or free agency may be replaced adequately or even well, but if the process happens too often, or if those lost are franchise players, the team risks sacrificing its very identity.
In a string quartet in particular, the balance and teamwork are, literally, so fine-tuned that when any change occurs, the effect can be drastic. All the more so when it involves the first violinist, something between a team captain and a starting quarterback.
The once champion Tokyo String Quartet, which closes a season-long residency at the 92nd Street Y on Saturday evening, has just completed a major transaction aimed at pulling itself back into contention. Next month, Martin Beaver will replace Mikhail Kopelman as first violinist after a period of artistic differences if not conflict. Not incidentally in a field where national styles still count for much, Mr. Beaver, 34, is Canadian, and Mr. Kopelman, 55, is Ukrainian.
Over 33 years, the quartet's history has increasingly been one of change. In 1974, five years after the original Japanese players joined forces, Yoshiko Nakura, the second violinist, left and was replaced by Kikuei Ikeda. In 1981, Koichiro Harada, the first violinist, was replaced by Peter Oundjian, a Canadian. Mr. Oundjian, forced to quit playing in 1996 because of a repetitive-stress injury to his left hand, gave way to Mr. Kopelman. Then, in 1999, Sadao Harada, the cellist, was replaced by Clive Greensmith, now 35, of England.
Kazuhide Isomura, 56, the violist, is the only remaining original member, and he and Mr. Ikeda, 54, are the remaining Japanese players, although, as it happens, Mr. Beaver's and Mr. Greensmith's wives are of Japanese descent.
So the name Tokyo String Quartet now represents an international group that has strayed far from its roots. When it started, it was widely admired for its youthful vitality and its incisive, risk-taking style, shaped in large part by its American training, notably with the Juilliard String Quartet. Mr. Oundjian was also trained at the Juilliard School, but the group's playing took on a greater warmth and flexibility during his time.
"Sadao was a more instinctual player, more spontaneous and very exciting," said Robert Mann, who was the first violinist of the Juilliard String Quartet for half a century and who, by his account, suggested Mr. Oundjian as successor to Mr. Harada. "Peter added depth and dimension. He immediately established slightly different goals for the quartet, which served it well."
Still, the group's energetic, incisive style continued to hold sway, a recognizable trademark. In contrast, recent years have amounted to a grand experiment, or series of them.
Mr. Kopelman arrived with impeccable credentials, having been, since 1978, the first violinist of the venerable Borodin Quartet, founded in Moscow in 1945. Yet he injected a very different style into the mix: a rather demonstrative Slavic emotiveness in which expressivity took precedence over tonal purity and rhythmic precision.
On the basis of the Oundjian experience, it seemed a risk worth taking, perhaps another broadening experience. "When Peter joined, it was a kind of revelation," Mr. Isomura, the second violinist, said in a group conversation. "We thought we all had to be the same. Of course we had the same background, but we had different characters in terms of music-making and in terms of general personality, and Peter helped us recognize that. We realized that it's O.K. to be different. In fact sometimes it helps, gaining more different angles toward the music."
The fit with Mr. Kopelman, too, seemed at first to hold interesting possibilities. "I felt that we would actually appreciate the difference," Mr. Isomura said.
Mr. Greensmith, the cellist, experienced some culture shock of his own when he entered the picture three years after Mr. Kopelman.
"There was already a feeling of transition when I came into the group," Mr. Greensmith said. "But the British mentality is always to blend. In our schooling and in the way our society works, the cult of individualism is not strong. So I was aware that there were healthy differences. Early on, we had rehearsals where it was a very intense and quite challenging experience trying to navigate your way through these differences. But actually no more so than in normal quartet life. I did my best to take on board what everyone was saying.
"On one hand, I felt like I could see very strongly the inner parts. Kazu and Kiku carried through not just from Peter's time but from Koichiro's time. That sense of musical personality and involvement was very strong, and that's one of the great strengths of the quartet. And I could also see Mischa, where he came from and those additional things he brought. So yes, there was a healthy tension between what had been before and the freshness of the new."
In fact, some fascinating interpretations evolved over the years, especially in music by Schubert, and the quartet took a greater interest in Shostakovich, among others. But the sporadic electricity may have been a function of the very instability of the relationship, and an irreducible inconsistency became obvious to listeners as well as players.

Modeling collaborative virtual environment (CVE) is the basis of describing and solving related problems such as concurrency and consistency. In this paper, a new model adopting role theory for CVE is presented. This role-based model called RACVE defines CVE as a seven-tuple which contains all important components and describes static relations between basic collaborative entities and collaborative events. Especially, two important concepts, intelligent entity in running state and collaborative federation, are proposed to take time factor into consideration. Although the definition and static relation description are complete in RACVE model, it is still deficient in describing time-based dynamic state transition of system. The RACVE model represents only a traditional 3D system; actually, CVE is a kind of 4D system with time as its fourth dimension. In order to represent time factor explicitly and describe dynamic state of system, a Fuzzy-Timing Petri Nets formal modeling technique is employed to revise RACVE model to satisfy 4D and real-time requirement of CVE. Furthermore, state transitions for shared object, intelligent entity in running state, collaborative federation, and collaborative activity are modeled efficiently, and reinforce RACVE greatly.

La Gabri-Elle's goal is to promote the Italian language, as well as Italy's rich culture, by various means including classes in the Italian language, guided tours to Italy, and imported Italian gifts and foods.
Classes are taught in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, where interaction between the instructor and students is encouraged and emphasized. Although a book is used, it mainly serves as a reference and guideline. Supplemental materials — such as handouts, short videos, and Italian music — offer interesting insights into the Italian culture while expanding students' knowledge of the language.
In addition to classroom instruction, guided tours to Italy are offered for La Gabri-Elle's students and their family and friends. These tours provide the students with an opportunity to use their newly learned language skills in actual conversations with local Italians, to read restaurant menus and order in Italian, to barter at local Italian markets, and much more! It is truly an enriching experience.
Gifts and specialty items are imported directly from Italy and are available a la carte or artfully packaged in handmade gift baskets of various types and sizes for all occasions.
The brochures for La Gabri-Elle's trip to Israel (February 11-19, 2017) are now available. Please contact Nancy for more information. Seats are limited!
A big thank you to all those who participated at La Gabri-Elle fundraiser on behalf of Imerman Angels held on July 9th. The event was a great success!
The shop is open weekdays by appointment. Please email or call 847/219-3678 and we will open the shop just for you!!!
A big thank you to my 2016 Amalfi group for making this trip a great success!
The group Italian language classes will resume the week of September 26, 2016. Private classes are available throughout the year.
Thank you to all the women who donated their used clothing. The Clothing Drive was a big success!

I posted my problem in the forums under THEMES and got absolutely no response. This is probably because I have a compact setup and the bug would only show up on a setup like mine.
Here is the post:
I have five blogs running off one database, and only one core install, with everything symlinked. This worked in 2.5.1 the occasional plugin couldn't deal with it but too bad. The core install is /home/www/wordpress
Each blog is /home/www/thisblog It contains symlinks to all the code files and folders in the core install except for wp-content
I have an actual (not symbolic) wp-content folder for each blog, with a symlink to the main install's plugins folder but an actual individual themes folder for each blog. This is better organized than tossing all my themes into the main install's themes. And besides who knows I might want to use the same theme on two blogs but that would cause trouble with naming folders if I didn't have them separated out.
OK, well, now it appears as if the new wordpress is only looking for themes in /home/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes not in /home/www/blog/wp-content/themes because the only choices are classic or default--the ones in the install. Also, the only theme that shows a thumbnail or works is the default. I tried dragging a random theme into the main install's themes to see if it would show. WordPress made an entry for it, but no thumbnail, and when I tested it it had no formatting, and neither did classic. neither in the preview, nor when I actually activated it for the blog.
I discovered a new file in the new install which the virtual blog folders did not have a symlink to: wp-load.php. So I made a new symlink in each virtual blog pointing to wp-load in the core install to match all the other symlinks. But that did not help with this problem.
I looked around at the config files: Here is the trick I use: My wp-config.php in the main installation is just this:
<?php require('local/wp-config.php'); ?>
assuming local will point to different places in different contexts and that seems to work.
In the root of each blog I have a folder called local with a config in it. In each config I hardcode ABSPATH to the root of each blog.
(e.g. /home/www/dorkage) and the code seems to calculate THEME_DIR based on ABSPATH. It always worked before in 2.5.1 I scanned quickly thru settings code and I just don't see why it's not looking for the themes where I want it to, and why they are all bad except default. Please help! I hate my blogs this way and I don't want to toss all the themes into the core install's folder, it's soo much easier to manage when each blog has it's own.
Here is another test we did: In one of the blogs we renamed "default" to "olddefault" and "someothertheme" to "default". Now poof the other theme is showing up on the blog itself. So the THEME renderer actually IS looking for the themes where I have them and where I want it to look.
It's just the ADMIN module that isn't working. If I go to admin for that blog, the DEFAULT thumbnail still looks like the standard DEFAULT (because it's getting the /default in the core install) but it's USING the default folder in the blog's directory. THIS IS A HUGE BUG!
I hacked theme.php
and I echoed $theme_root right after the get_themes function calculated it and then die. It echoed
/home/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes (which confirmed it is opening the core install) NOT WHAT I WANT AND HAVE CONFIGURED AND WHAT WORKED BEFORE. I tried just going to the home page of the blog, it didn't die, so it probably has this theme cached or something.
But the takeaway is that in the admin it is NOT looking for the themes in the same place as the ones it is using. Can I hack the themes somewhere else besides the admin panel?

While heavy rain is no longer occurring on the burn scar, additional runoff is occurring. This could lead to debris on roads and swollen creeks and streams in the area.
At this time, there are no reports of life threatening flash flooding. We will continue to monitor the situation closely.
Here are some basic tips for flash flood safety:
-Turn around, don't drown
-Don't drive around barricades
-2 feet of water can float a car
-Stay away from electrical wires
-6" of water can sweep a person away
-Don't play in flood waters.
Meteorologist Brian Bledsoe is particularly concerned about heavy rains washing down through the Waldo Canyon burn scar.

I'm facing difficulty inviting a friend to the match.
GKMatchRequest *request = [[[GKMatchRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
request.minPlayers = 2;
request.maxPlayers = 2;
request.playersToInvite = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"G:1102359306",nil ];
// GKMatchmakerViewController *mv = [[GKMatchmakerViewController alloc] initWithMatchRequest:request];
// [self presentModalViewController:mv animated:YES];
[[GKMatchmaker sharedMatchmaker] findMatchForRequest:request withCompletionHandler:^(GKMatch *match, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
NSLog([error description]);
else if (match != nil) {NSLog(@"good match");
//self.chatMatch = match;
//self.chatMatch.delegate = self;
//[self chatReady];
else {
NSLog(@"other error");
The problem is I never receive the invitation notification on second device logged to the account - G:1102359306. When I use GKMatchmakerViewController (uncomment above 2 lines) and comment GKMatchmaker block I have automatically checked the good friend - G:1102359306 and when I invites him the notification with accept/decline is shown, that's how I know it's correct.
Do you see anything wrong with the code above? I want to use my own UI to handle the multiplayer mode. The strange problem is I also don't see in console any logs good match/other error, and the [error description] is only printed when I call the above code twice - it says that the previous req was canceled.
Thanks in advance.

My husband was telling me of the horrors of using remanufactured ink in the HP printer at work. I had been using remaned ink for years where I worked and we did have some issues but they were always resolved with the vendor we used. I took a chance at home and ordered remaned ink for our home office HPOffice Jet and an HP Desk Jet from the O. Both worked perfectly! Thanks for making printing more affordable.
I have had these in my printer for about 3 weeks and am very pleased with the quality of print.
Terrible was only able to print 10-15 pages before cartridge stopped working. Buy the real thing, not worth the headache.

Elastec/American Marine and the Phoenix Foundation have announced a groundbreaking ceremony for the new helipad will be held at 3 p.m. Thursday, August 15 at 400 Plum Street, the site of the future Phoenix Health Care System in Carmi.
Construction of the helipad is being funded by Elastec/American Marine. The concrete helipad will measure 50 by 50 feet and will be surrounded by a protective chain-link fence. O'Daniel, Inc., also of Carmi, is the contractor for the work. Construction materials are being provided by Carmi Lumber. Power lines and trees have been removed by the City of Carmi to comply with clearance regulations.
Prior to the closure in 2005 of what was originally known as Carmi Township Hospital (CTH), medical hospitals regularly landed in a nearby parking lot. According to Greg Hays, director of development and program implementation for the Phoenix Foundation, the Elastec/American Marine helipad will provide safer and quicker access than the previous location, which was behind the hospital. Hays has been instrumental in the site planning and compliance with NEMSPA guidelines for the facility. The helipad can be accessed by St. Mary's LifeFlight, Air Evac Life Team and Arch Air Medical Service from St. Louis.
The Phoenix Foundation of Southern Illinois, a local not-for-profit, reopened the Phoenix Rehabilitation and Nursing facility in 2008 what was once the CTH Skilled Care Unit. The foundation hopes to open a 10-bed hospital and 24/7 emergency room in the former hospital, at some point in the near future. Renovation of the building continues.
The world headquarters of Elastec/American Marine is located in Carmi, with manufacturing and warehousing facilities in southern Illinois and Cocoa, Fla. Satellite sales offices are located in Virginia, Washington, India, Turkey and China. With over 125 employees, E/AM manufactures pollution control systems with a core competency in international oil spill recovery. E/AM products are distributed through a global network of dealers and direct sales. For more information, visit elastec.com.

A little background before the question.... My son is 9 1/2 months old and I have EBF him. I only work on weekend mornings and am home around 12pm. I pump everyday to have a supply for the weekend and my boyfriend feeds him with a bottle. He will not drink formula, we have tried once or twice when my supply was a little low but that was months ago. He does eat three solid meals a day and will drink water from a sippy cup. I have only been able to pump once a day to get an adequate amount, usually if I try a second time I barely get half an ounce.
I usually can only pump enough to just get him through until I get home but I'm worried about this Sunday (Mother's Day). I am a prep cook/baker in a restaurant and Mother's Day is our busiest day of the year and I will be working longer than usual, probably until 3 or 4pm. I am wondering if we can add a litte whole cow's milk to each of his bottles to help extend the supply that I have pumped all week. Just to make this clear,I AM NOT TRYING TO WEAN HIM!!! I plan to BF until his first birthday. Should we try to add to the BM or should we just have him drink what I have pumped and give him an extra cup of water to help him get by until I get home??? I worry about giving him to much water in a day because I have read that to much water is not good for a baby. He usually has about 5ounces of water a day in a sippy cup. Any suggestions would be helpful.....
Thanks in advance!!!
UPDATE: Thank you all for the advice, it is very helpful! I have decided to not give him cow's milk now. I am just going to have his dad give him en extra solids meal/snack and give him his sippy cup of water later in the day. Then when I get home I will just nurse him extra! I would consider the goats milk or coconut milk but I have never seen it in stores around me.
I was under the impression that cow milk is not good for babies under age 1, so personally I wouldn't give it.
Cow's milk isn't even the best milk for kids above 1. It has been linked to iron deficiency. I supplemented with goat's milk, and now that my daughter is completely weaned, she is drinking goat's milk at meals. So is my 5 year old, and so are we. It actually tastes the same lol.
At that age send what you have pumped and the rest water and solid food and he'll make up for it when he gets home. This is called reverse cycling. I would NOT give cows milk at this age.
Quoting pinkiebabii:I started working a ten hour shift every Saturday when DS was 8 months. That day he ate solids only and I didn't pump for him.
He is thirteen months and still nursing like a newborn except Saturdays when he only eats solids. I work from 4 pm until 2 am.
He also never had a bottle. He reversed cycle Saturdays which is perfect.
I would never try to encourage my son to drink formula! It is like cancer in a bottle. Just up his water and solid intake while at work.
Quoting Whitney15:Cow's milk isn't even the best milk for kids above 1. It has been linked to iron deficiency. I supplemented with goat's milk, and now that my daughter is completely weaned, she is drinking goat's milk at meals. So is my 5 year old, and so are we. It actually tastes the same lol.
Please take this question to the breastfeeding group. They are awesome & will help you :) A breastfed baby only needs 1oz per hour that your away from him. In between the bm bottles I would just give him water & purees. When you get home he will nurse like crazy to make up. No cows milk.

Hi everyone. I'm new here but I've seen that a couple of you had problems with ABS sensor. I think that 220$ Can are really expensive for something that work that bad. I was wondering, is there a way to bypass it to make the ABS and hand brake light shut down?? I was thinking of removing the LED but is it easy to remove the dashboard?
Thanks for suggestions

Held in richly historic Gympie, Australia from 6-9 October 2016, Heart of Gold International Short Film Festival (HOGIFF) is one of the gems in the crown of Australian short film festivals but we like to think it has extra sparkle thanks to its unique mission: To showcase well-crafted, nourishing and uplifting short films from around the world.
The four-day programme typically sees an opening night, gala awards evening, 'filmmaker presents' slots and up to 30 sessions cram-packed with about 120 short films from all genres that best capture HOGIFF's vision to screen films that are: positive, witty, whimsical, entertaining, joyous, uplifting, quirky, enlightening, and ground breaking. They can be edgy, they can be thought-provoking and they can be downright hilarious – as long as they beat with a good heart!
All films are competing for the best film award (which carries a prize of $5000) and other award categories including: Best Australian film, best student film, screener's choice, best cinematography, best script, and Younger at Heart awards. HOGIFF judges certainly know 'how to pick em' as 2014's 'best film', The Phone Call, went on to take out the Academy Award for Best Short – Live Action.
The festival has become renowned for its high quality programme which is largely thanks to a very unique, methodical two-part screening system. All films are filtered through the festival's artistic directors, and small groups of screeners that gather in lounge-rooms in Gympie, to review and score the countless submissions.
Emily Avila is an early-career producer currently working part time in scripted development at Essential Media & Entertainment. She previously handled audience engagement for the Ipswich Art Gallery, one of Australia's most visited regional galleries, and worked as an assistant at See-Saw Films, with Oscar-winning producer Emile Sherman.
Emily's independent film work includes directing the upcoming short film In a Cane Field (recipient of Screen QLD's Short Fiction funding), producing the short film Dancing Goat (w./d. Sam Dixon) and developing a feature film Our Mother The Mountain (selected for Screen QLD's Projector development initiative in 2015).
In addition to independent filmmaking, Emily has worked on various film festivals across Australia. She is also an educator who is passionate about film and creative cultural engagement within communities.
Emily will build on the efforts of the hard-working Artistic Directors before her (Toni Powell, Malcom Blaylock, Stephen Kanaris, Tahnee McGuire, and Flickchicks Mandy Lake and Margie Brown), who have helped grow HOG to the magnificent event it is today.
I am very much a Queenslander at heart. Rockhampton is the town I grew up in.
Gympie holds a special place in my heart as way back in the eighties I made my one and only Queensland side, being selected for the Under 15's. I have the maroon hat to prove it.
Now, I work and dream in a different industry altogether. I attempt to tell stories via the medium of the theatre world and film and television.
I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with the people I have and to have travelled to the locations I have, yet Queensland is always home.
The country town is where I saw all the idiosyncrasies of life. This is where characters were drawn from and emotion was built as I grew and learnt about the world via life around me.
I am grateful to be asked to be the patron for this year's festival. I jumped at the opportunity to come home.
During the festival, one has a chance to see story from many different parts of the world and from all over Australia. An event not to be missed.

The festival has become renowned for its high quality programme which is largely thanks to a very unique, methodical two-part screening system. All films are filtered through the festival's artistic directors, and small groups of screeners that gather in lounge-rooms around Gympie, to review and score the countless submissions.
Lights, cameras, action! School students across the country are invited to submit their own short films as part of the 2016 Heart of Gold Festival.
This is the perfect opportunity to get your students' work judged and gain professional recognition.
Students can submit assessment pieces, foreign language films, documentaries or start from scratch.
All we ask for is that all submissions be compliant with Department of Education guidelines and Heart of Gold values.

The study was conducted in three regional states of Ethiopia: Amhara, Oromia, and the Southern Nations Nationalities and people regional state from August 2007 to April 2008 with the objective of identifying the foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotypes circulating in the region. Two serotypes were recorded from epithelial tissue and oesophageal–pharyngeal (OP) fluid that were taken from outbreaks in study regions of Ethiopia. Serotype O FMDV was identified in Girar Jarso, Yabello, and Ankesha Guagusa districts while SAT-1 was isolated in Surma and Maji districts from tissue samples and this was the first report of the FMDV serotype in Ethiopia. Similarly, the OP fluid samples were found positive for SAT-1 FMDV in Maji and Surma districts.

You want to determine the energy stored in a capacitor for a given voltage. You measure the capacitance C and the applied voltage V and calculate the energy from U = 0.5CV2. Which of the quantities, C or V, should you measure most carefully (with the smallest relative uncertainty) to obtain the most reliable value (smallest relative uncertainty) for U?
A. C because you cannot trust the printed value of a capacitance.
B. V because its value is usually larger than the value of C.
C. You should measure C and V equally carefully because both enter the equation for U.
D. V because it is squared in the equation.

AbstractCurrent combustor design simulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving fuel-lean combustion have entailed using large amounts of dedicated CPU resources for extended time periods due to the expense of solving detailed, strongly-coupled, chemical kinetic models. Such models are inherently data parallel, and much faster solutions can be obtained using low-cost graphics processing unit (GPU) hardware without loss of accuracy. This proposal describes development of a user-friendly software toolkit that facilitates implementing detailed or reduced fuel chemistry solvers directly onto GPUs to substantially accelerate CFD simulation runtimes. The approach is significant because it provides a cost-effective path to substantially reduce the wall-clock times currently bottlenecking high-fidelity combustion simulations. It accommodates the incorporation of self-contained, real fuel kinetic mechanisms and validated chemistry solvers, written using standard GPU-recognized program language extensions such as CUDA and OpenCL, for use in CFD analyses with minimal end-user code modifications. Using inputs that are Chemkin-format compatible, the proposed software toolkit will generate portable, GPU-enabled kernels that can be directly compiled into existing CFD codes, such as the National Combustion Code (NCC), to accelerate detailed combustion simulations for improved design support.

EPA proposal on dioxin has Utah regulators on alert
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A proposed stricter standard on acceptable levels of cancer-causing dioxin in soil is confusing to some in scientific circles, alarming local governments and has Utah environmental regulators keeping a watchful eye.
The Environmental Protection Agency is considering adopting regulations which would make the "acceptable" level of dioxin in dirt a hundreds of times stricter than the current standard — potentially re-opening the door on cleanup that has essentially been closed on three Superfund sites in Utah.
Those sites are the old defense depot in Ogden, Wasatch Chemical in Salt Lake City and the north area of Tooele Army Depot.
Duane Mortensen, the Superfund branch manager for the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, said those sites are on the tail end of the remediation process — basically done — except for mandated five-year reviews to ensure public health remains protected.
Any change in EPA regulations would require a re-examination of the site's condition, potentially costing more dollars.
"If they change the risk numbers for a particular contaminant, we would have to determine if the remedies are still protective (of public health) and then we would have to decide what else needs to be done," Mortensen said.
Dioxin is a family of chemicals found in soil, water and even in some food consumed at the dinner table. It is generated by activities as mundane as burning household waste or from industry such as smelters or coal-fired energy plants. Dioxin, according to the EPA, is most commonly introduced through soil erosion or storm water runoff in urban areas.
Although its presence from man-made sources has been reduced by as much as 92 percent since the late 1980s, the EPA is considering hiking the standard, even in advance of a study that is due out in December.
That approach, according to the American Chemistry Council, is "scientifically flawed," because it forges ahead of the reassessment to examine risks associated with dioxin. The council cited potential impacts to the U.S. food supply, cities, states, business and the economy.
"For the life of us here, we can't figure out why EPA is doing what they are doing," said David Fischer with the American Chemistry Council. "The longer the EPA has taken on this reassessment, the less of a problem dioxin really is. That is sort of the part that gets lost."
The proposal has led the U.S. Conference of Mayors to sound off in opposition, asserting that a baseless change in rules would imperil the status of Superfund projects across the nation, and deter economic development on so-called "brownfields" — zones struggling with a legacy of industrial use.
In Ogden, where the site of the former Defense Depot Ogden was nominated to the EPA's Superfund list in 1984, cleanup is done and soil remediation deemed finished.
It is one of the sites in Utah where dioxin was listed as a "contaminant of concern," and removal of dioxin from soils is below the current threshold of a thousand parts per trillion, or in more understandable terms, one part per billion.
At those current levels, Fischer said he does not believe dioxin represents a public health threat through its presence in soil, which has not been a typical exposure route either.
"There's a real question for us — of what is the danger that needs to be addressed and how (changing the standard) would be more protective of human health," Fischer said. "This is going to create a lot of problems for sites folks thought were cleaned up and solved."

Arsenal Message Board
FABONGRASSS FABONGRASSS Feb 17, 2014 08:50 Flag
Fabianski, the much maligned Arsenal no2 played a blinder yesterday against, what some would have you believe, the best front two in the Prem. I recall Fabianski being awarded a MOM award for a game in a pre-season Amsterdam tournament, the first time I had seen the guy appear for Arsenal. He was truly fantastic, his reaction saves, which he made one after the other, arguably the best I had ever witnessed ( I kid you not).
Fabianskis chance came for the Prem and his career nose dived. He earnt the nickname 'Flappy' (much like Rikki earnt his, 'complete #$%$).
I seem to recall a report of Fabianski wishing to leave due to lack of playing time,
Could Arsenal be letting the better GK leave?????

Fabianski got my vote for MOTM yesterday too.
Other notable performances from Ox and Jenkinson. The BFG and Kos did another great job too.
Arguably Liverpool should have got a draw, but luckily for us the result is the only important thing and we move on to Everton.
Good match, good banter with the Pool fans (apart from the smelly smoke flares).

I think the Lpool fans are some of the best in the game. Good people IMO.
I think Fabianski was immense yesterday and I read an article stating he had been measured to have one of the quickest reaction times on record for keepers. I think he is a great shot stopper and proved that once again yesterday. He struggles a little with high crosses in the box, and had a big flap yesterday, playing teams like West Ham or Man U who basically don't do much more than areal bombardments into the box in the hope that one fall to one of their own players, this can be difficult. On the other hand I would imagine this is a skill that can be learned if he is given enough games.
I do think he seems less cocky by nature than the big pole and for a keeper being cocky is not a bad thing.
Not sure who I would choose Fabianski or the big pole. For now perhaps I would stay with the big guy but there is not a lot between them.

"I'm not happy with Almunia between the sticks and if he gets injured and we rely on Fabianski then it really looks like 'Game over'."
"You lot can point to the loss at Chelsea, when we had Flappy the goalkeeper in goal handing them both goals on a silver plate"
"Flappy keepers and Red cards all round!"

And what incredibly boring and immature point are you aching to bring to my attention today Rikki?
You, like Mourinho, are an embarrassment.
I feel for Australia.
