Minnesota's Commercial Laundry: Scouring a Cleaner Way Forward
Following a self-analysis of the Minnesota Green Chemistry Forum's (MGCF) strengths and an outward analysis of the current Green Chemistry environment, the MGCF is trying a new approach to its mission of advancing green chemistry practice by selecting a priority contaminant in Minnesota and pursuing its reduction in products.
The Steering Committee elected to focus on remaining use of a group of chemicals – called nonylphenol ethoxylates, or NPEs – used in institutional laundry detergents. The project seeks to better understand where these chemicals are still present, in order to focus our promotion of safer alternatives. The reduction project is underway, and is designed as a pilot to determine if such similar MGCF initiatives can directly benefit Minnesota and its environment.
WHY NPEs?
In recent years, a group of chemicals used in detergents – called nonylphenol ethoxylates, or NPEs – and the chemical backbone they degrade to – called nonylphenol - have been targeted for replacement because:
- they don't degrade for a long time (persisting indoors or in the environment),
- they are toxic to life in rivers and lakes, and
- they can affect development in people, particularly children.
NPE surfactants are used for a huge variety of purposes, including cleaners, degreasers, dry cleaning aids, petroleum dispersants, oilfield chemicals, adhesives, pesticides, cosmetics, paper and fabric processing, prewash spotters, metalworking fluids, paints and coatings, dust control, phosphate antioxidants for rubber and plastics, lube oil additives, and more.
In 2010, previous work had eliminated NPE in household detergents, and information available to EPA led it to conclude that "a large proportion of use and subsequent environmental release is associated with industrial laundries." Large-scale "industrial" laundries ended about 200 tons of annual NPE use in 2013, but tests here in Minnesota after that showed little impact on the amount of NPE coming into waste water treatment plants.
So the MGCF Steering Committee concluded that new ground could be broken by confirming the presence or absence of NPEs in detergents in other large-scale laundries. Where they are found to be present, reduction effort will be invested and hopefully, measured. If few facilities are found to be using NPE detergents, the MGCF can recommend other sectors and uses to engage.
This will be useful learning not only in Minnesota, but to the entire green chemistry community in the U.S., and beyond.
This Minnesota-focused project seeks to understand better where NPE in commercial detergents may still be in use, and to promote safer alternatives wherever possible. Since the industrial laundries have eliminated its use, the MGCF is looking at other large-scale operations cleaning rugs, uniforms, linens, towels, or other fabrics – including hospitals, hotels, prisons, and residential care facilities.
- A work group has been formed and is mapping out the project. The group includes several MGCF affiliates: Fairview Health Services, Conservation Minnesota, Ecolab, MPCA, St. Olaf College, and the University of Minnesota - with plans to involve other suppliers and purchasers of detergents.
- Each of the work group members will be querying their networks to help whittle down to an up-to-date list of facilities to interview about their detergent use.
- The work group is recruiting 2 student interns from Minnesota colleges to conduct phone and e-mails surveys, and to convey information about detergents with safer alternatives to NPE surfactants.
- The latest draft work plan is here– the project is expected to wrap up and report to MGCF members and stakeholders by the end of 2016.

The Krushchev Thaw refers to a period in the mid-fifties to early sixties, right after Stalin's death, when Krushchev denounced Stalin and the atrocities committed under his regime. This ushered in a fleeting period of openness and relative freedom in the Soviet regime. Krushchev first signalled this movement in The Secret Speech, delivered behind closed doors to the 20th Party Congress in 1956.
The Secret Speech, by Tom Rob Smith, swirls around the events sparked by the speech - the dissemination of the speech in printed form*, the political upheaval in Moscow as power shifted and the old hardliners ran scared, life in the Siberian Gulags and the Hungarian revolution**. It takes considerable, and not very believable, contortions to steer the plot through all these events.
Former state security officer Leo Demidov returns from his appearance in Smith's first book, Child 44. Demidov is the head of a homicide department in Russia; a rather unpopular position, because authorities do not want to acknowledge that there is such a thing as murder in the Soviet Union. Demidov is trying to be a good man, after his murky past when he arrested many civilians based on nothing more than typed lists of names. These days, he pursues 'evidential truth , not a politicized one" as he seeks to solve crimes. It's a precarious job because the truth is not always what the authorities want, especially in a country where it's an embarrassment to even acknowledge murder takes place.
I chose The Secret Speech because I'd enjoyed Child 44 by Smith, which also features Leo Demidov as the key character. But this plot was just too far fetched for me. One star.
*I don't know enough about Russian history to know if this wide dissemination is totally fictional. Wikipedia says it was only distributed to select Communist Party members in Russia, before widespread dissemination internationally.
** The book portrays the Hungarian Revolution of '56 as having been sparked by Soviet agents provocateurs. This was to give the Soviets an excuse for massive retaliation. Brutally crushing the uprising was to send a message that despite Krushchev's speech, the Soviets hadn't gone soft. Again, in my limited research, I found no corroboration for this analysis.

Vanderbilt, N.C. State Highlight Deadline Day Winners
First-rounder Beede, supplemental rounder Austin reach campus
Aaron Fitt
August 16, 2011
Signing deadline day is a white-knuckle ride for many college coaches. If everything breaks right and a few elite talents shun the professional ranks to head to school, a program can turn itself into a juggernaut almost overnight. But with a mid-August deadline, there is very little time to scramble to fill holes if players sign unexpectedly.
"The 15th of August is no fun for anybody," said North Carolina State recruiting coordinator Tom Holliday. "But if we're going to keep the rule the way it is, it's going to be a D-Day. Kids are going to be reluctant to sign early if they know they can wait until the last day and get paid big money."
Here's a look at some of the winners and losers of signing day from a college perspective. Remember, it's all about expectations and relativity; some teams might still have landed great recruiting classes, but if they were hit harder than expected Monday night they could still wind up in the "losers" column for the sake of this exercise.
The Commodores landed the lone first-round pick to spurn pro ball in favor of the college ranks in Massachusetts righthander Tyler Beede (No. 21 overall by the Blue Jays), who followed in the footsteps of Karsten Whitson (Florida) and Dylan Covey (San Diego) last year, Matt Purke (Texas Christian) in 2009 and Gerrit Cole (UCLA) in 2008. (For the record, it worked out pretty well for Cole and Purke, who signed for a combined $10.75 million in bonuses Monday night). Beede was always regarded as a very difficult sign, and he told Baseball America that he turned down a final offer of $2.4 million at 11:58 p.m. Monday.
"My number was $3.5 (million), and I stuck to my guns," Beede said Tuesday. "I had a number I wasn't going to go anything less than, and it just didn't get to that point. It wasn't a financial decision ultimately. I come from a middle-class family, a modest family. I understand the value of that money in present day, and in three years a lot can happen. Life is not without risk, and I plan on working hard for three years. I'm going to go to school and try to win the national championship. Going to school is about getting the education first, and I'm tremendously excited about it."
Beede, like Cole and Purke, should be an instant ace for the Commodores, who must replace their entire weekend rotation. He owns a premium fastball that tops out at 95 mph, a quality changeup and curveball, advanced command and remarkable feel. Beede's off-field maturity matches his mound polish, and his relationship with the Vanderbilt coaching staff factored heavily into his decision to head to school. He first met the staff at a Vandy camp in ninth grade.
"Obviously the academics stuck out to me, the campus, the area, and the coaching staff and Tim Corbin—he's a second father to me," Beede said. "I'll be going down there by myself, so it'll be important to have that type of figure to help me off the field and outside the classroom as well. I'm excited to be with such a great leader."
That excitement is certainly mutual.
"Anytime a first-rounder comes to school, no one anticipates that," said Vandy recruiting coordinator Josh Holliday. "That's just an opportunity where a kid and a family felt very convicted and in the end chose the education for three years. I think the recent successes of guys like Gerrit Cole and some of the other guys told them that if you're really a special talent, your talent's going to improve."
Vandy did get hit when supplemental first-rounder Kevin Comer signed with the Blue Jays right at the deadline and 11th-rounder Shawon Dunston Jr. signed with the Cubs for $1.275 million earlier in the day. But the 'Dores won their other battle with the Blue Jays, landing 12th-rounder Johnny Norwood, who turned down a reported $800,000, according to a Vandy press release. The New Jersey outfielder has excellent speed, good feel for hitting and the instincts to be Vanderbilt's center fielder of the future. Norwood and Beede give Vandy's recruiting class a strong core, which is surrounded by other impact talents like lethander Philip Pfeifer and righty Adam Ravenelle (who both went in the 44th round because of signability).
Of the 12 members of Vanderbilt's 2011 team who were drafted, 11 signed, but righthander Will Clinard (Twins, 30th round) did return, giving the 'Dores a potential closer or another rotation piece.
"Will Clinard's one of our keys to the whole thing," Holliday said. "His declaration as a sophomore-eligible to come back was just huge. He got the last out to get to Omaha, then got a lot of key outs there. He really came on for us."
North Carolina State
The Wolfpack hit the jackpot by landing catcher Brett Austin, the highest-drafted player to head to school after Beede. A standout spring for Providence High in Charlotte boosted Austin's stock, and the Padres drafted him in the supplemental first round with the 54th overall pick. The switch-hitting Austin has good strength and a very pretty swing from the left side, and he figures to hit in the middle of N.C. State's lineup for the next three years.
"The Padres did go down to the wire," said N.C. State's Tom Holliday, the father of Vandy recruiting coordinator Josh. "Right around midnight, there was a phone call that made Brett feel very honored, but the highest up in the Padres system said, 'Do you just want to go to school?' He said yes, and that's where it is. Brett is a totally honest young human being who felt college is his avenue from the get-go. I know it's unusual that people turn down that much money, but he knows he has three years to improve his skills and get that money again. Was I sweating it out? Absolutely sweating it out, but you have to think what the kid is going through."
The Wolfpack was holding its breath on two other marquee recruits heading into the final week, and it went 1-for-2 on them. Righthander Jake Junis signed with the Royals for $675,000 in the 29th round, but lefthander Carlos Rodon (No. 198 on BA's pre-draft Top 200 prospects list) spurned the Brewers in the 16th round, giving N.C. State a second blue-chipper to carry its recruiting class. The loose, athletic Rodon can run his fastball up to 92 mph, and his slider and curveball both flash plus potential.
Another key recruit, infielder Trea Turner (20th round, Pirates), made it clear to scouts all spring that he was dead-set on going to N.C. State, and he was as good as his word.
"He told us, 'You don't need to worry about me,' " Holliday said. "But we worry about everybody that was hanging out at midnight. So to get a freshman you can throw into the infield mix, that's a positive thing. Rodon is going to be in the rotation somewhere, whether it's No. 1, 2 or 3. We could have lost him last night and had to really redo the rotation. And getting our center fielder back—Brett Williams is a pretty darn good center fielder, and he hit really well during the last 30 days of the season. Yeah, the 15th of August will be a memorable day."
In years past, the Rebels tended to take a more conservative approach to recruiting, largely avoiding players who were major draft risks while loading up on junior-college transfers and less heralded high schoolers they could develop into stars. But Ole Miss has been considerably more aggressive since Carl Lafferty became recruiting coordinator, and Monday the Rebels were rewarded. Mississippi landed nine of the 11 drafted players in its recruiting class, headlined by outfielder Senquez Golson, shortstop Jake Overbey, and righties Hawtin Buchanan and Josh Laxer.
"When I took over this job as recruiting coordinator, I started looking at how did the best programs in the country recruit?" Lafferty said. "Certainly you have to go after those blue-chip guys with the knowledge that you're going to lose some of them. If you can get a Tyler Beede or a Matt Purke, if you can get one guy per class that's going to be a difference maker, that's when you start getting some big-time talent.
"We're going to be really young this year. We wanted to get back to a lot of high school kids, and I'm excited about it."
Golson rated as one of the best athletes in the draft and could start immedately at cornerback for the Ole Miss football team this fall. The Red Sox took a shot on him in the eighth round, and the two sides negotiated all Sunday afternoon before he boarded a plane for Boston on Monday morning to take a physical and continue talks. Eventually, the lure of playing two sports at Ole Miss was too strong, and Golson turned down a seven-figure bonus offer.
"Obviously him being in Boston, I think the general consensus was there was a likelihood that he would sign," Lafferty said. "But he was in Boston and negotiated with the Red Sox on their home field so to speak, and came out of there without an agreement. I think immediately, there's no doubt he'll have an impact as a freshman. He'll compete to play center field. His athleticism just changes the game, his speed changes the game. You look at the combination of speed and power, bat speed, and he does have some baseball instincts—that's what made him an eighth-rounder and the Red Sox pursued him as they did."
Overbey, a 10th-round pick by the Phillies, also has a football background, having played quarterback in high school, but he lacks Golson's standout tools. But Overbey is plenty athletic, owns a nice swing and a projectable frame, and he looks like a future star at shortstop for the Rebels.
Buchanan is another former high school quarterback, but at 6-foot-8, 230 pounds, he was born to pitch. He ranked No. 137 on BA's Top 200 prospects list, but he is an Ole Miss legacy who was intent on heading to school, so he dropped to the Nationals in the 19th round. He has a big power arm and a good changeup. Fellow Washington draftee Laxer (20th round) lacks Buchanan's tantalizing size, but he pounds the zone with a power sinker and good breaking ball. He's polished and fiercely competitive, and Lafferty was thrilled to land him.
"It's a good day in Oxford, I promise you that," Lafferty said.
Southern Mississippi
The Golden Eagles struck gold Monday, landing big-name recruits Connor Barron and Mason Robbins. Barron, an athletic five-tool shortstop, turned down seven figures as a third-round pick by the Marlins, giving USM a true cornerstone player to build around. And Robbins garnered top-five-rounds buzz as a high school outfielder this spring, but his commitment caused him to drop to the Mets in the 20th round. He has a smooth lefthanded swing and should be an impact two-way player in Hattiesburg.
The Eagles also landed two other impact recruits who were drafted inside the top 20 rounds. Third baseman Brad Roney, an 18th-rounder by the Orioles, also elected to head to Southern Miss, where he could be an offensive everyday player as a freshman. And righty Taylor Nunez (Pirates, 19th round) has arm strength and projection, giving USM a potential future ace.
South Carolina
South Carolina lost marquee recruits Taylor Guerrieri ($1.6 million as the 24th overall pick) and Brian Goodwin ($3 million as the 34th pick) on deadline day, but the Gamecocks never truly expected to get either. And Jackie Bradley Jr. signing for $1.1 million as the 40th pick was the way it was supposed to go—All-America juniors with first-round talent just don't return for their senior years very often.
But the Gamecocks did get two All-Americans back for another year—and they are two of the most central figures in South Carolina's back-to-back national championships. There was never a chance that junior lefthander Michael Roth would sign as a 31st-round pick—he spent his summer studying abroad in Spain and made it clear he had no intention of going to pro ball. There was a lot more uncertainty about the other bookend to the South Carolina pitching staff, and it's a huge victory for the Gamecocks to get closer Matt Price back as a sixth-round pick. A proven championship-caliber ace and a proven championship-caliber closer coming back to school amounts to better news than the addition of almost any freshman.
"Unbelievable that they got Roth and Price back," said a rival coach. "It's like the perfect storm."
And South Carolina also landed an unsigned eighth-round pick in projectable righthander Evan Beal, who declinded to sign with the Royals. Beal broke off negotiations last week, so the Gamecocks were spared some anxiety on deadline day. Outfielder Tanner English, a 13th-rounder of the Rays, also spurned pro ball and could be an impact freshman due to his top-shelf speed.
Getting outfielder Aaron Brown and infielder Austin Davidson to campus was a coup for the Waves. Brown starred in the California Collegiate League this summer and looked like he might induce the Pirates to pay him as a 17th-round pick. The athletic Davidson (21st round, Red Sox) gives the Waves a potential starting shortstop with a nice lefthanded swing and a hard-nosed mentality.
Texas Christian
Maybe Purke didn't come back for his junior year, but TCU did well to land third-round first baseman Kevin Cron (younger brother of Utah All-American slugger C.J. Cron), plus righthander Jerrick Suiter (Blue Jays, 35th round) and third baseman Derek O'Dell (Red Sox, 42nd), who both turned down good money on deadline day. And outfielder Jason Coats—a Top 200 talent—returned to school for his senior year, declining to sign with the Orioles as a 12th-round pick.
The Bruins have been in the "winners" column frequently in recent years, landing blue-chippers like Cole, Adam Plutko and others. This year, deadline day was not as kind.
"You've got to have luck in this thing," Bruins coach John Savage said. "And yesterday, we didn't have any."
UCLA was holding its breath on three elite talents taken in the top two rounds of the draft: righthander Joe Ross, third baseman Tyler Goeddel and catcher Austin Hedges. All three wound up signing in the final hour for a combined $7.25 million.
"I think our expectations were that we were hoping to be able to hold on to one of them, maybe two of them," Savage said. "But at the end of the day, they wanted a certain number, they all stuck to their number, and that's all you can really ask is honesty from the players and the families. And we got that; all their numbers were exactly what they signed for."
Ross, the 25th overall pick, signed with the Padres for $2.75 million. The Padres also opened the check book for Hedges, the No. 82 overall pick, inking him for $3 million. Goeddel signed with the Rays for $1.5 million as the 41st pick.
"We do what we do: We recruit, and when you're dealing with some of the best players in the country, this happens," Savage said. "You don't hold on to all of them. Anybody that thinks you do, they're kidding themselves. We've always had a pretty high percentile that we've held onto. If your three recruits get $7.5 million on the last day, I'll take those chances. I'd recruit Hedges and Ross and Goeddel again."
The Longhorns might look funny in this column, considering they still reeled in one of the nation's best recruiting classes, headlined by Top 200 prospects Dillon Peters, John Curtiss and Ricky Jacquez. But remarkably, UT's class could have been even better.
Heading into Monday, most everyone thought Texas would land Josh Bell, widely regarded as one of the best bats in the entire draft class. Bell's commitment to Texas was supposedly ironclad, causing him to drop to the No. 61 overall pick by the Pirates. When the dust settled, he had signed for a $5 million bonus. If more teams thought he would sign for that money, he likely would have been drafted much earlier.
It was no surprise that Texas lost first-rounders Dylan Bundy or Blake Swihart on deadline day, but losing third baseman Matt Dean to a $737,500 bonus as a 13th-round pick was a blow.
But Texas still might have wound up with the nation's top recruiting class, and it also got a boost with the return of lefthander Sam Stafford, who declined to sign with the Yankees as a second-round pick. All in all, the deadline wasn't so bad for the Longhorns—but it's impossible not to think about what could have been.
The Hogs lost three marquee recruits on deadline day. No. 13 overall pick Brandon Nimmo always figured to sign, but teams went way over slot for second-rounder Dillon Howard ($1.85 million, Indians) and fifth-rounder Greg Bird ($1.1 million, Yankees). Bird would have given Arkansas an elite catching talent to replace the departed James McCann, while Howard's power stuff could have made him an ace. Still, seven of the 11 drafted Arkansas signees made it to campus.
College Juniors
A number of college coaches were left in awe of the record-setting amounts of money being thrown around by professional teams Monday. But several coaches commented that high school players seemed to be the greatest beneficiaries of the spending frenzy after the first round, while pro clubs played hard ball with college juniors.
"I think they really punished the college player yesterday," one college recruiting coordinator said. "The high school players held all the cards yesterday, but the college players after the first round, they asked them, 'Do you want $500,000 now or $50,000 next year as a senior?' The junior in college, I think they got hammered. These pro guys have sold their souls for the high school player. You're seeing Joe Blow getting $775,000 that's going to Arkansas or Georgia Tech, then you've got Jackie Bradley ($1.1 million) or Ricky Oropesa ($550,000) or Mikie Mahtook ($1.15 million) didn't really get paid. Mahtook got paid less than Goeddel, and he went before Goeddel."
"They are assaulting our game, assaulting our talent base by overpaying the high school player, then insulting the college player by underpaying him," said another recruiter. "They're not going to have any good college players to watch if they keep signing all these marginal high school guys for $650,000. They're depleting our supply of quality young prospects in case they become good, rather than letting them come to college and get good."

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration says it's time to raise motor carrier insurance minimums. This week the House of Representatives said, not so fast. Editor in Chief Deborah Lockridge looks at some of the pros and cons in her All That's Trucking Blog.

Many insurance underwriters, happy to have a new tool to give them data on customers, are putting too much emphasis on CSA scores when it comes time to writing policies. This could mean higher premiums, higher deductibles, and even a case where some underwriters won't even consider insuring your company.

Abyssinian smiles ~
street kids of Addis Ababa
Rather than tell you about these kids, I'm going to let the photographs introduce you to some amazing little characters, each unique, each one (except for an uncertain little girl with enormous brown eyes) only too willing to spend a few moments with me and pose for the camera.
Without words, their portraits tell a lot about Addis Ababa. Their stories are in their eyes, their smiles, their circumstances, and the state of their clothes.
This shoeshine boy kept asking if he could wash my Tevas, kind of pointless in the dust of Addis, so I instead gave him a tip for letting me photograph him.
Baby at the outdoor market, where his mama was selling herbs and spices.
"Are you still taking pictures of me?!"

The pleasure I had unwrapping these beautiful trays was quite unrivalled. And I am still enjoying them every day. They are beautifully made, an example of perfect craftsmanship. I am going to order some more another time. Janet's service was personal, professional and always on time. Thank you again, Janet. And thank you for the lovely goodie, too. I love everything about my trays (but not the one with the bills in it!).

I was so pleased with my experience with Janet from Emboxed. She was professional and responsive to my needs. She created a beautiful, personalized album!
Anonymous on Sep 24, 2012
I purchased the notepad holder as a gift for my sister. Emboxed was great to deal with - fast, friendly communication and service. I think my sister's words on receiving the folder say it all: n n"Seriously that is the most amazing thing ever!!!!! I am sooooooooooo in love with it!!!! And as I said to mum "this has made my life!!" thank you thank you!!!!!!! It is amazing!! You are the best ever. I am so in love with it."
Great Storage in Such Little Space
Squeezed for space in a small appartment, and not able to find what I needed in local shops, I started to make for myself storage for well - every room in the apartment.
Soon lots of friends were interested too. It seemed lots of people had the same problem with in-efficient and ugly storage.
Then the news spread and I was soon making up storage items for private clients and boutiques in Paris. Items customised exclusively for them!
Et voila. Still small today, but, giving great attention to detail and great customer service.
" Even before the item arrived, I knew I would not be disappointed, because of Janet's professionalism. When the box arrived, I was struck by the fine work, as well as the wonderful colors"

All our products are made using the tradtional French technique called "Cartonnage" - or the art of making decorative boxes from cardboard.
It was started around 1844 in Valréas in the Vaucluse by a hairdresser, Ferdinand Revoul. He came up with the idea of making cardboard boxes to be used in the silk worm industry. The boxes were intended to store silk worm eggs or seeds. His boxes were such a success that he decided to make boxes for other uses.
Soon he could not cope with orders so started to train others. Valréas carved itself a well-known reputation in the field of "cartonnage". His factory and printing works were constructed in 1871-1872 and he went on to invent the "ventilated box" for the conservation and dispatch of silk worm eggs. In 1857 he took out a patent for a "self-closing box" and at the 1863 Nimes exhibition was presented with a medal for his innovations.
From then on chemists, jewellers, and perfumers became interested in his decorative boxes to present their wares.
Cartonnage is still flourishing at Valréas; a museum has been opened and there is a training section for "Cartonniers" at the local technical school.
So following in the footsteps of Revoul, we make up all of our boxes from scratch one at a time. No machines are used in the process and the results are truly magnificent.

Steelers' defense recovers big-play form Monday, October 01, 2001 By Gerry Dulac, Post-Gazette Sports Writer
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y -- Awash in the emotion of what he had seen before the game and what he was witnessing on the field, Bill Cowher walked a tenuous tightrope between passion and anger and wasted little time reverting to form as the jaw-jutting, spit-spewing, frothy-mouthed coach of the Steelers.
He became excited and animated when his strong safety, Lee Flowers, was penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct for pushing Buffalo wide receiver Peerless Price in the back. Problem was, Cowher became excited and animated on the playing field, a good 10 yards from the sideline area where he is supposed to be standing.
For that, the coach who once was portrayed as a sideline madman in a television commercial, angrily tugging on a cheerleader's pompom, was flagged 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct. The back-to-back penalties provided the Bills with their greatest offensive thrust -- 30 yards to the Steelers' 40.
"That was their chance," said safety Brent Alexander. "They got down there close to put points on the board."
But a weird thing happened for the Steelers, a team accustomed to having weird things happen to it.
Two plays later, after linebacker Joey Porter jumped offside to move the Bills even 5 yards closer to the end zone, the Steelers turned around a game by getting something from their defense they had not been getting from their offense -- a touchdown.
Cornerback Dewayne Washington picked up a fumble by Bills running back Travis Henry and ran 63 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead.
"This team is always involved in some weird-type play, going all the way back to that game in Detroit with the coin flip," Washington said.
As a matter of history, that was Thanksgiving Day, 1998, the day Jerome Bettis started to call 'heads,' said 'tails,' and the Steelers lost more than the overtime coin flip.
Yesterday, the turnaround was equally dramatic, but with more positive results. Just like that, the Steelers went from a team that looked to be unraveling emotionally to a team that went on to a 20-3 victory against the Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
"We needed that at that point in time," Porter said. "We had like four or five penalties in a row. That was the perfect answer."
It certainly was, especially on a day when the offense provided more questions than answers about how to get into the end zone. The offense finally managed its first touchdown of 2001 when Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala scored on a 22-yard run in the fourth quarter, but until then it appeared as if Washington, an eighth-year corner, would be the team's leading scorer.
"More than anything, that was a big momentum swing," Alexander said. "That kind of took the wind out of them for a while."
"The defense came up with a big play that was the turning point," Cowher said.
Said inside linebacker Earl Holmes, "That's what [defensive coordinator] Tim Lewis is always talking about -- we've got to create turnovers."
The Steelers had two against the Bills, each going for big yardage.
Washington's 63-yard touchdown was the seventh scoring return (five interceptions, two fumbles) of his career and first by a Steelers player since Jason Gildon returned a fumble 22 yards for a touchdown in Week 12 last season against the Cincinnati Bengals. And cornerback Chad Scott, playing for the first time since his knee was sprained in an Aug. 25 preseason game, picked off a pass by Alex Van Pelt and returned the interception 62 yards to the Buffalo 15 with 1:44 remaining.
Washington had a little help. Henry, a rookie from Tennessee, had the ball knocked loose by Alexander, who came up to make the tackle. Porter was also there, but he was behind Henry.
"I didn't see it come out," Alexander said. "I heard people yelling. By the time I realized the guy didn't have the ball, I held onto him so he couldn't get the ball."
That's when Washington swooped in, picked up the ball on one bounce and started streaking the other way. Price, the Bills' third-year receiver, tried to close the gap and almost caught Washington.
"Oh, I heard him," Washington said. "Once I felt him, I hauled it to the end zone. To be honest, I was tired the rest of the game after that."
So was Rob Johnson, the Bills quarterback. He was sacked four times and had little time to throw behind an offensive line that was already missing starting tackles John Fina and Jonas Jennings and lost backup tackle Kris Farris with a fractured lower leg in the first quarter.
Once the Steelers got the lead, they could afford to bring more pressure, perhaps take some more chances, with Johnson.
"We knew if we had the lead it would be tough for him," Porter said
They can thank Washington.

UN creates new women's agency John Boonstra September 15, 2009 Good news:The United Nations General Assembly voted Monday to create a new, more powerful agency for women, in a move supporters hailed as a breakthrough for women's equality and rights. An Assembly resolution called for the amalgamation of four existing United Nations offices dealing with women's affairs into a single body to be headed by an under secretary general. The unanimous vote followed three years of negotiations.The creation of this body had actually been somewhat controversial, as some member states opposed consolidating the currently existing women's agencies into one supra-agency. The step is to be applauded, though, as it will make the UN's work on women's issues more streamlined and more effective.UNIFEM, one of the UN's chief agencies dedicated to women, naturally approves.
Obama Nominates Two for U.S.-UN Mission Matthew Cordell September 15, 2009 President Obama announced two new additions to the U.S. Mission to the UN yesterday. He will nominate:Frederick "Rick" Barton to be the U.S. Ambassador to the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC)Jide Zeitlin to be U.S. Ambassador on UN Management and ReformBarton is an excellent choice. He's well-versed in both the UN system and U.S. foriegn aid, is a creative thinker, and, I've heard, has the right demeanor to succeed in dealing with other delegates. He served as the UN Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees in Geneva from 1999 to 2001, and he worked on Obama's transition team on foreign aid issues. The UN Peacebuilding Commission falls under his purview, which is a great fit, as he's currently the Co-Director of the Post Conflict Reconstruction Project at CSIS and started the Office of Transition Initiatives at USAID.Zeitlin is more of an unknown entity and, arguably, has a much tougher job, advocating reforms to a G-77 that is sceptical of any U.S. reform initiatives. He's of Nigerian descent and has a Nigerian name, which will help assuage that skepticism, but he was also a partner at Goldman, which works in the other direction. He would do well to avoid making comparisons to the private sector. Considering that he doesn't come from a UN background, it's also probably a good idea that he hit the ground running, show that he's willing to listen and learn, and be prepared to be patient with the politics of reform.
U.S. Takes Its Seat on the HRC Matthew Cordell September 14, 2009 Today the U.S. officially took its seat on the UN Human Rights Council, after being elected in June. This is the first time the U.S. has chosen to participate in the revamped Council, created to replace the UN Human Rights Commission in 2006.The highlights of Asst. Secretary of State Esther Brimmer's remarks:The charge of the Human Rights Council ties closely to the United States' own history and culture. Freedom of speech, expression and belief. Due process. Equal rights for all. These enduring principles have animated some of the proudest moments in America's journey. These human rights and fundamental freedoms are, in effect, a part of our national DNA, just as they are a part of the DNA of the United Nations. And yet, we recognize that the United States' record on human rights is imperfect. Our history includes lapses and setbacks, and there remains a great deal of work to be done.Building on those bedrock foundations, the United States' aspirations for the Human Rights Council encompass several key themes. The first is universality. The principles contained [in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights] are as resonant today as they were when Eleanor Roosevelt led the Commission that enshrined them. We can not pick and choose which of these rights we embrace nor select who among us are entitled to them. These rights extend to all, and the United States can not accept that any among us would be condemned to live without them.The second is dialogue. The Human Rights Council is unique in its ability to draw together countries for serious, fact-based and forward looking debate on human rights abuses. [T]he United States will be an active and constructive participant. We will not resolve our differences overnight, nor end abuses with the wave of a hand or even the passage of a resolution. We approach this mindful of the long-haul, ready to devote the time it takes to build understanding and shared will to act.The third is principle. We have come together as Human Rights Council members on the basis of shared principles. Our challenge lies in taking these principles - reflected in the Universal Declaration and many other broad based human rights instruments - and applying them in an even-handed way to situations that defy easy resolution. Defending our core principles from compromise and applying them fairly under all circumstances will require steadfastness and courage from all of us.The fourth is truth. Make no mistake; the United States will not look the other way in the face of serious human rights abuses. The truth must be told, the facts brought to light and the consequences faced. While we will aim for common ground, we will call things as we see them and we will stand our ground when the truth is at stake.More after the jump.
Wall Street Journal shout out for DataDyne and mHealth Matthew Cordell September 14, 2009 by Adele WaugamanCould a mobile phone be a key tool in the prevention of disease outbreaks and epidemics? Judges on the Wall Street Journal's Technology Innovation Awards panel believe so.DataDyne.org, a core partner in the United Nations Foundation and Vodafone Foundation's mHealth (mobile health) program, has just won the prestigious award in the Healthcare IT category. An article in today's paper explains:In developing countries, gathering and analyzing time-sensitive health-care information can be a challenge. Rural health clinics typically compile data only in paper records, making it difficult to spot and to respond quickly to emerging trends. With EpiSurveyor, developed with support from the United Nations Foundation and the Vodafone Foundation, health officials can create health-survey forms that can be downloaded to commonly used mobile phones. Health workers carrying the phones can then collect information—about immunization rates, vaccine supplies or possible disease outbreaks—when they visit local clinics. The information can then be quickly analyzed to determine, say, whether medical supplies need to be restocked or to track the spread of a disease.A key advantage of EpiSurveyor is its sustainability: the software is free and open source, meaning that country health officials can download health surveys and modify them to meet local needs. For example, last month Kenyan health officials adapted EpiSurveyor to help track and contain a polio outbreak in the northern Turkana district. Although large-scale immunization efforts eliminated the last indigenous cases of polio in Kenya in 1984, recent inflows of refugees fleeing violence in neighbouring Sudan renewed the threat of a polio epidemic. Health workers in Kenya used a web-enabled version of EpiSurveyor to help track and contain these outbreaks. On the DataDyne blog, health worker Yusuf Ajack Ibrahim noted how immediate access to health data enabled health workers to refine their emergency vaccination campaign:Weakness noted were acted upon immediately. Some of the actions taken were redistribution of the vaccines, on the job training for our health workers, staff redeployment, immediate case investigation of suspected AFP cases, and change of [the] social mobilization strategy.The Foundations invested $2 million to support the development, piloting and subsequent expansion of DataDyne's EpiSurveyor health data-gathering software for mobile devices. In partnership with the World Health Organization and national ministries of health, the Foundations are helping to bring to scale the EpiSurveyor mHealth program in over 20 countries in sub-Saharan Africa.The new mHealth Alliance, announced earlier this year by the UN Foundation, Vodafone Foundation and Rockefeller Foundation, will build on this effort by promoting thought leadership, global advocacy and public-private sector collaboration to help bring the smartest ideas in mHealth to scale around the globe.
And the winner is… Mark Leon Goldberg September 14, 2009 By Sameer LalwaniThe UN backed commission's charge of electoral fraud confirmed what most Afghans and observers already knew—that this was a messy election revealing the corruption, fecklessness, and disarray of the government. But the implications are much more strategically disturbing.In terms of the US and NATO's counterinsurgency strategy, the best possible outcome they could have hoped for was a sweeping electoral mandate for a single candidate (presumably President Karzai) to avoid the infighting and delays in a runoff and demonstrate to the Afghan people (and the international community) that there was a unified Afghan state ready to return to the business of governance and state development.Unfortunately, the electoral outcome was the worst of both worlds—a fractured vote mired in illegitimacy amidst allegations of vote-tampering and ballot-stuffing with President Karzai likely barely accumulating over 50% of the vote.
