COLUMBIA – Clemson erupted for five runs in the second inning, thanks to a Phil Pohl grand slam, and added three runs over two innings after a 1:37 rain delay to claim an 11-3 victory over Coastal Carolina in the opening game of the NCAA Columbia Regional Friday afternoon at Carolina Stadium.
Coastal Carolina (41-18) will play the loser of tonight's game between South Carolina and Manhattan. First pitch is set for Noon and the game will be televised on ESPNU and online at ESPN3.
Clemson (34-26) scored five of its 11 runs by Tigers who had reached by walk or hit by pitch and one who reached on error. Also, to Clemson's credit, the Tigers scored nine of their 11 runs with two outs. Coastal had two chances to get back in the game, loading the bases in the sixth and seventh innings, but had nothing to show for it as the Chants left 12 runners on base.
In the top of the first, Rich Witten nearly brought home Ted Blackman, who walked to start the game, hitting a high fly to shallow right field. Both the right fielder and first baseman had trouble judging the ball, but the right fielder would make a diving catch. In the home half, Clemson did nearly the same thing, but Coastal could not make the play. Richie Shaffer hit a high fly ball to the same spot, which fell between three Chants and he would get a double. Phil Pohl followed with an RBI single to left field for a 1-0 score.
Clemson added five runs in the second, thanks to a heads-up hustle play. Brad Felder had a one-out single and Jason Stolz followed with a walk. After getting a strikeout, Austin Wallace (5-1) got Thomas Brittle to hit a ground ball to the right side for what could have been the third out, but Brittle beat the throw at first. On the play, Felder never stopped running and would score from second. Clemson would then load the bases on a Shaffer walk. Pohl cleared the bases with a grand slam down the left field line that was just inside the foul pole and just above the wall.
Coastal got on the board, scoring twice in the third. Jacob May, who was 2-for-4, had a one-out single and moved to third on Daniel Bowman's 54th career double, moving him to third on the CCU career list. Witten plated May with a sacrifice fly to right-center field. Alex Buccilli followed with an RBI single to center.
The Tigers got one run back in the home half of the third. After Jon McGibbon drew a leadoff walk and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt, Stolz lined a double to left-center to drive in McGibbon .
The game was suspended for 1:37 in the middle of the fifth. When the game resumed CCU pitcher Aaron Burke got two quick outs before Spencer Kieboom and Felder had back-to-back singles. Stolz followed with an RBI double down the right field line to make the score 8-2.
The Chants answered back in the sixth. Tucker Frawley was hit by a pitch to start the frame and moved to second on a ground out. Brian Pruett, who was 2-for-4, lined a single to center, scoring Frawley on the play. Coastal would load the bases after a Blackman single and May walk, but Bowman's hard-hit ball to center was tracked down by Brittle to record the third out.
In the home half, Burke hit the first two batters before Jay Baum blooped a one-out single just beyond Pruett's glove at short, bringing home Brittle. Austin Kerr came out of the bullpen to record a strikeout before Kieboom singled to bring home Shaffer and make the score 10-3.
Coastal would loaded the bases again in the seventh as the first three batters walked before Clemson pitcher David Haselden got a strike out, fly out and ground out to escaped unscathed.
Clemson tacked on a run in the eighth to provide the 11-3 final. Shaffer reached on an error, moved to third on Joe Costigan double and scored on Kieboom 's sacrifice fly.
Wallace suffered his first loss of the season. He allowed a season-high three walks, six hits and six runs with one strikeout.
Kevin Pohle (7-4) earned the win. He pitched five innings, allowing four hits and two runs with four walks and a strikeout. Haselden pitched the final four innings to earn his first save.

Canesta joins ARM PrimeXsys Community
CAMBRIDGE, UK AND SAN JOSE, CA.– Feb. 18, 2003 – ARM, [(LSE:ARM) (Nasdaq: ARMHY)], the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded RISC microprocessor solutions, and Canesta, a developer of electronic perception technology, today announced at the 3GSM Congress, Cannes, France, that Canesta has joined the ARM® PrimeXsys™ Community Program. Canesta will be bringing to the Community a technology that enables electronic devices to "see" by tracking nearby objects in three dimensions in real time.
The first application of Canesta's electronic perception technology is the company's breakthrough "projection keyboard." By integrating the three-chip chip set into a wireless device, a full size "QWERTY" keyboard and mouse will be created by projected beams of light.
One of the limitations of current wireless devices such as smart phones and PDAs is the user data input method. Keyboards take up too much physical space and handwriting recognition is not as efficient. The Integrated Canesta Keyboard solves this problem by enabling typed data to be input into the portable electronic device with previously unheard of speed and accuracy. OEMs building smart phones and PDAs using the ARM PrimeXsys Platform now have a proven and integrated alternative to conventional keyboard input.
There are significant implications of building a projection keyboard into a wireless device. By making it practical to enter large amounts of data into small, untethered devices, they become useful for "real work" such as substantive correspondence, the use of analytical tools, or tasks requiring a high degree of interactivity. For example, a mobile worker could use his wireless device to conduct significant business email correspondence while on the road and leave the laptop at home, or create substantive financial reports like sales forecasts and customer order information without going back to the office. Moreover, in a world where wireless devices are being used for data-intensive activities, wireless network usage also has the potential to dramatically increase.
The ARM PrimeXsys Platforms provide system developers with all of the hardware, software and verification IP necessary to design a system-on-chip (SoC). Canesta has ported its projection keyboard technology to the PrimeXsys Platform. Wireless device manufacturers using the ARM PrimeXsys Platform including Canesta's technology will now be able to easily and quickly integrate this new capability to their devices, offering customers an easy-to-use and familiar method for typing text in applications.
"Increasing miniaturization of devices such as mobile phones and PDAs means that efficient data entry has now become a serious design consideration," said Nazim Kareemi, president and CEO of Canesta. "Existing graffiti, screen and thumb keyboard solutions can be awkward and slow to use. Canesta's electronic perception technology offers a viable alternative by presenting the user with a familiar keyboard that can be used on any flat surface. As a member of the ARM PrimeXsys Community Program, Canesta's technology will be readily available to handset manufacturers and will help proliferate this highly effective solution."
"The PrimeXsys Community Program was formed with the intention of supporting ARM's network of Partners by offering a wealth innovative technology solutions ported to a common development environment – thereby helping meet their design needs quickly, cost-effectively and easily," said Oliver Gunasekara, director, Wireless Segment, ARM. "With ARM as the microprocessor technology of choice in more than 85 percent of the world's mobile phones, Canesta's technology adds a key ingredient to the handset design portfolio of smart phones and PDAs by offering the benefits of a full QWERTY keyboard in a tiny physical space."
Canesta and ARM will be giving demonstrations of this technology – please visit us in: Hall 2, Stand D56 at the 3GSM Congress, Cannes, France, 2003
About Canesta
Canesta is the inventor of a revolutionary, low-cost electronic perception technology that enables ordinary electronic devices to perceive and react to nearby objects or individuals in real time.
When sight-enabled with Canesta's unique electronic perception chips and software, consumer, automotive, industrial, military, and medical products will gain functionality and ease of use not possible in an era when electronics were blind.
Canesta was founded in April 1999, and is located in San Jose, CA. The company has filed or has been granted in excess of 30 patents. Investment to date exceeds $20 million, from Carlyle Venture Partners, Apax Partners (formerly Patricof & Co Ventures, Inc.), JPMorgan Partners (formerly Chase Capital Partners), TechFund Capital, and Thales Corporate Ventures (formerly Thomson-CSF Ventures.) Canesta has over 40 employees.More information is available at:- http://www.canesta.com/

As far as coughing up the puck, Romer plays within his limitations. He won't stickhandle the puck out his own zone like Baltard thinking he's Bobby Orr. He'll just make the safe play by feeding the puck up or just getting the puck deep. If he's on the PP, I think he'll just play it safe by moving the puck to the more skilled guys (like the Sedins). If he's in trouble on the point, I think he'll just dump it deep into the corners or just back off to defend. He'll just keep it simple by trying to keep himself open for a shot if someone finds him. As we have seen the last couple games, he has a cannon. His shot is a threat from the point, whereas Ballard's is not. I guess with Hoff's departure, it's giving others guys like Salo, Edler, Hammer and Romer a chance to showcase their skillz.
Jovocop wrote: You think so... Look at how he refuses to play his $4.2m defenseman on the powerplay... instead, Rome got to the pp icetime. So far two goals in two games and AV looks like a genius... Wait til he coughs up the puck against a better team, I can't wait to hear people complaining about that.

Taking Innovations from the University to the Marketplace
EternoGen President and CEO Luis Jimenez cuts the ribbon to lab space at the MU Life Science Business Incubator at Monsanto Place.
EternoGen, LLC. raises over $1 million since initial UM System investment, opens new offices in St. Louis and Stockholm.
COLUMBIA, Mo.— Just 18 months ago, University of Missouri System President Tim Wolfe announced the university's decision to fund a new medical device company and University of Missouri startup, EternoGen, LLC., up to $200,000 through its Enterprise Investment Program. Since that initial funding, EternoGen has successfully attracted an additional $1.485 million and today announced its plans to enter the commercialization phase.
"The ability to leverage funds from external sources is what validates the importance of initiatives like EIP at the university," Wolfe said. "EternoGen's success is a strong example of the investments we should be making to grow our research and spur economic growth in the state."
In its second round of funding, EternoGen obtained $1.065 million. These contributions include $375,000 from the Missouri Technology Corporation, a $350,000 co-investment from EIP and the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, $218,000 from Centennial Investors, $72,000 from company managers and founders, and most recently $50,000 from Arch Grants.
"CAFNR is pleased to support this unique, entrepreneurial faculty, staff and student startup company, and to have the contributed, discretionary funding to make the investment possible," CAFNR Dean Tom Payne said. "We appreciate the support both of MU and the UM System in this CAFNR venture."

About This Piece
This Bitch took my Daughter Away-( True story in the form of a song)
Of all, this song is the fastest one I've ever written in my life. Its a good example of why some of us are artists. This dark frustration was gnawing at me constantly. I had no place to put it. I couldn't talk or cry it out.
When DJ Child (Project Groundation Massive) gave me the music, he told me to write a song based on real life. I grabbed the pen and this song came out so fast, I was convinced it was going to be a disaster. The opposite proved true. In fact, I've been told it's one of my best. There was a problem however. I didn't feel comfortable calling the mother of my daughter a Bitch for the world to hear. As I was still very angry over the fact my daughter was taken to New York, I was able to find comfort knowing that care had been taken to place her in the proper school and environment. Even though I missed her painfully, I was also happy she was being exposed to New York for it's international identity as opposed to the rose colored glasses identity of Berkeley California. Her mother and myself we're finally on speaking terms again and I didn't want a song to mess that up.
In the middle of recording, I stopped and said- "Oh, yea, I gotta change the Chorus."
"What do you mean?" asked Child. "That's the best chorus I've ever heard you do."
"Yea man but I can't call my babies mother a Bitch like that."
"O.kay, well, what do you got?" I thought for a minute.
"I could say- This Chick...no... This Trick!...no...Umi took my...no." Child threw his hands up.
"See? That's what I'm saying. No other word works." Then he went in for the kill.
"I mean, whats worse, YOU saying the word Bitch, or HER taking your daughter to New York, without telling you? Basically kidnapping your child." I felt my face get cold.
"Well damn when you put it like that..." Then I went in and recorded the song how it was written. At the time I'm writing this, it has not yet been released. I'm told its a future Baby Daddy Anthem. So I'll take the headache when it comes. When art imitates life, its not supposed to be pretty.- Enjoy.
This Bitch Took My Daughter Away-
I don't understand, The whole thing sounds crazy
No, Its not a game (Never!)
How could she play me?
She Had a Dark Side that went Full-Time Shady
"A Good Girl gone Bad is- Gone Forever...."
But I don't have Time to Quote- Jay Z
A Murderous Rage in my Art
Somebody Cage me!
Or send me a Sage- for my Chest
because it Aged me, Same as stress
I cant rest
Because my heart breaks daily...
When I wake without the daughter I raised And held dearly.
Every day of her life She's Right There Near Me
Her mamma moved to N.Y.C.
And ain't tell me
I wanna Kill Somebody
Give a F*%* who feels me!
*This Bitch Took my daughter away!
They like- "Really?"
Yeaahhhh, She Hoped a Plane and went to New York City!
Got me All Depressed,
That EVIL is in me
My attitude is all Fu*'ed Up and Real Shi**y..
The Day she took my daughter away
It wasn't pretty
Had me ready to Break Jaws, and Laws- *No Kidding!
A Broke heart can Hate God with Self Pitty
But Im Blessed- So
*Bismillah', I get buzy!
I ain't gonna Front (Front)
I aint gonna Lie (Lie)
I am Not a Saint
I had some women on the side
I was young.
I believed in having *temporary brides
But I would NEVER push my family to the side
I was raised by Lions,
Im Loyal till I Die,
Every girl needs a Daddy,
So why-
Would you Ever Take the Daddy From the Life of your Child?
Thats Crazy!
(Im feelin fuc*ed up now)
I gave our daughter NO LIMITS
While you was running round with those Spotlight Symptoms.
Back from Las Vegas, Ego Trippin
Runnin round the Town with that Dodge Ball Victim.....?
As A Man I decided not to follow the script
to have a beautiful child and NOT raise it
To me that's Craaaazy.
Maybe Im the one trippin
All the traps in the streets That I fear she could slip in
My Song is her Laughter,
Her eyes my Heaven,
Daddy Knows Best.
She's precious.
Picture my words, You can see her reflection,
Hear it in my voice, I would DIE her protector
But I Know-
From Lessons and Seeds That I've planted,
That She will be back
For mature Overstanding- One Day
I just gotta keep myself back from wild'in
*Im Ready to Get Dead or Live Rich Trying
Thoughts go Bad, I turn real quiet
Outside smiling with a Inside Riot
Look into my eyes you can see They on fire
I seem SO polite, But Bitch Don't Buy it
This Bitch Took My Daughter Away!
*Bismillah- Translation- "In The Name of Allah."
A common phrase used by Muslims
before performing any action.
*Temporary wives- Translation- Muta Contract.
A practice used mostly by Shia Muslims
where a woman agrees to marry a man for a contracted
amount of time. Usually applied during travel and war.
* "Dodge Ball Victim"- She cheated on me with some dude I considered to be an idiot...
* Spotlight Symptoms- She was in the Fashion Industry
* "Ready to Get Dead, Or Live Rich Trying"-
A Twist on 50 Cent's most Popular Album

Ausschreibung in Bulgarien ("Bidding in Bulgaria"), Federal Supreme Court, First Senate, Germany, 11 February 2010, published on 3 August 2010, Docket No. I ZR 85/08
The First Senate of the Federal Supreme Court held that even if two German companies are the only competitors in a foreign market within the EU, the applicable law shall be the law of that foreign country and not German law on unfair competition. The decision was ruled under German Private International Law applicable until January 2009. However, the Court stated explicitly that the same shall apply under the rules of the so called Rome-II-Regulation which is in force now. More concretely, the Court emphasized that even if there are only German competitors on the foreign market, that foreign market is still likely to be affected. Therefore, the general rule of Art. 6 para 1 Rome-II-Regulation shall apply.
Art. 6 para 1 says that the law applicable to a non-contractual obligation arising out of an act of unfair competition shall be the law of the country where (inter alea) competitive relations are, or are likely to be, affected. The court explained that the competition between foreign companies acting in Germany on the one hand, and the competition between German companies acting in a foreign EU-country on the other hand, shall follow the same principles. Therefore, the former jurisdiction of the Senate (cf. BGH GRUR 1964, 316 - Stahlexport) shall not apply anymore in cases where the German companies are the only competitors on the foreign market. Additionally, the Senate held that it is not always possible to determine if there is a non-German competitor on the foreign market. Also, the Senate wants to avoid that the determination of the applicable law depends on the question if there is such third competitor or not.
This new rule will most probably also apply on the supplementary protection of performances by competition law that complements intellectual property rights.

Al Green says if things had worked out, it would have been him serenading President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle at the inaugural ball.
Jennifer Hudson sang Green's classic "Let's Stay Together," leaving many to wonder why the soul legend wasn't singing his own hit for the first couple.
In a statement to The Associated Press, his representative said Green had been asked to sing, but scheduling conflicts prevented him from attending Monday's festivities. Green said he'd be honored to sing for the president in the future.
The Presidential Inaugural Committee did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Obama famously sang a snippet of the song at an event last year that Green attended.

Description: Sujihiki are slicers or carving knives that are well suited for slicing and portioning meats and fish due to the thin, long blade. Extremely sharp, they are also well suited to preparing sushi and sashimi.
The beauty of the SLD line by Yoshikane is matched only by its performance. Each knife is meticulously hand forged by Mr. Tsuneo Yoshida and his two nephews to create a lasting work of functional art. These knives have quickly become a favorite at Epicurean Edge -- both for their feel and balance, as well as exceptional edge holding and performance.
The two tone blade is produced by two different etching processes creating a dramatic high contrast between the Kiriba (blade bevel) and the flat of the blade. This creates a smooth surface for the blade to slide through material and a subtly uneven surface to help release foods being sliced. The blades are comprised of a hard inner SLD stainless steel core clad in stainless steel damascus (suminagashi). Because SLD is a relatively low chromium stainless steel, we recommend drying the knife after use. The mesmerizing suminagashi pattern flows freely on both sections further enhancing the unique styling of this line.
The hand forged blade features a rounded Mune (spine) and choil for secure, comfortable grip. The handles are made from enju wood with ferrules of very rare blond buffalo horn. The ambidextrous handles are octagonal at the top and rounded at the base, resulting in a comfortable, elegant shape that is pleasing to the eye and hand.

Dave's Rating:
Grumpy Old Gangsters
Somewhere in the land of films about aging, in between the austerity, stoicism and sadness of Amour and the luxurious fantasies of traveling pensioners in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel or the cushy, cozy British retirement home warmth of Quartet, there's a middle ground where life is more rough around the edges and comedy evolves from real-life situations. But because there are probably more actual traveling pensioners or lucky old people in nice nursing homes per capita than there are geriatric mobsters, this story isn't where you're going to find what you're looking for.
Tough luck for everybody on that score, because in a world where most films still revolve around the complex life adventures of attractive 19-year-olds, older actors and the people who want to see them on big screens just take what they can get. That means that while there's nothing special about Stand Up Guys, at least you're treated to three stars in their comfort zones doing exactly what you've come to expect from each. You won't be challenged or pushed, just comfortably diverted.
Three retired criminals (Christopher Walken, Alan Arkin, Al Pacino) who used to be close, find their paths crossing again when Pacino leaves a 28-year stint in prison for not being a snitch. Walken meets him at the gate and the pair go off to do what men in lockdown can't: hit up a brothel, overdose on Viagra (because old-dude boners are never not comedy gold) and wind up in the ER. This bit of Benny Hill-ism leads them back to Arkin, who's given his own turn at the cathouse (see "old-dude boners" above) and at the wheel of a stolen car joyride/police chase. Over the course of their exhausting journey (and in a strange counterpoint to the happy prostitution narrative already set in motion), these stand-up guys rescue a gang-rape victim (Vanessa Ferlito) and engineer her shot at very specific revenge; they frequent diners; they engage in rambling conversations about life and death and regret and, finally, do their best to subvert a secret job from a former boss and perform at least one selfless act of generosity. They're honorable thieves, gangsters with hearts of gold, cuddly criminals, etcetera.
If you find yourself wondering how they, at their respective ages, can fit so much exertion into one day, you're not the problem. The script never met an incident it didn't feel compelled to squeeze in, so extraneous details that would wind up dumped in a leaner film are left to dangle in the breeze, all for the sake of misguided carpe diem spirit. What's left to salvage from the simultaneously overstuffed and forgettable plot are the performances. They're low-key and amiable, the work of three men who know why they were hired and who they're supposed to be in this kind of film. But they're also unmemorable footnotes to solid careers, nothing but self-referential brand-building. And when your name is Walken, Pacino or Arkin, that's kind of the last thing you need.

An organizer for this year's Buffalo Bill Days said the festival "came off beautifully."
An organizer for this year's Buffalo Bill Days said the festival "came off beautifully."
"We'll do it again next year," said Cricket Pugh, one of the main organizers for the festival.
Pugh said many of the organizations that were selling food to raise money ran out of food during the festival.
The festival was Saturday and Sunday on Sixth Street and at Haymarket Square.
Pugh said rain slowed down the number of visitors Sunday.
"We still did have a good amount of people," she said, especially after a Kansas City Chiefs game had ended.
This was the first year Pugh served as an organizer for the annual community festival. The festival previously had been organized through the Leavenworth Main Street Program. But this year, the event was handled by other community volunteers.
Pugh said Brandi Bond was the other main organizer for this year's festival.
"I've never done anything on this grand of a scale," Pugh said.
The Main Street Program still hosted a barbecue contest Friday and Saturday.
Pugh believes the fact the other event also was held in downtown Leavenworth caused some confusion for patrons. And she said organizers of Buffalo Bill Days want to have their festival on a different weekend next year to avoid confusion.
Next year, Pugh said, organizers plan to have Buffalo Bill Days on the same weekend as the annual Buffalo Bill Century Ride for cyclists.

Do you blog? Are you thinking of publishing a book?
Eighty-one percent of the US population says they want to write a book.
Not surprisingly, only about two percent ever actually do it.
Most bloggers, on the other hand, write a ton of books—probably three or four books per year on average, but most of them don't ever realize they've done so.
Later—sometimes much later—they realize they're sitting on a ton of content that could be turned into a book.
Many make the mistake of not bothering to consciously write a book. They just blog.
Here's a better way: Plan out the content for a book, then write the book in post-sized bits every day and publish the posts—the book—on your blog.
When you blog a book, you produce both a manuscript and a fan base that avidly reads your blog and may eventually also purchase the final product: your printed or digital book.
How to Become an Author AND a Blogger
Each time you hit the Publish button on your blog, you publish your work. That means you become a publisher. But you haven't produced a book, which means you're not an author. Nor have you become a successful author.

MACON, Ga. (Oct. 28, 2013) – A week after breaking the all-time Atlantic Sun kills record, ETSU senior captain Megan Devine (Kingsport, Tenn.) landed her second Player of the Week honor of the season as the league office announced its weekly volleyball awards on Monday.
Devine helped guide ETSU to wins over Mercer and USC Upstate, putting the Bucs back in sole possession of first-place in the A-Sun standings. The Kingsport, Tenn. native averaged 4.86 kills (34 total) and 3.86 digs (27 total) per set to extend ETSU's home win streak to 11.
The reigning A-Sun Player of the Year began the week with a 21-kill, 12-dig effort in the four-set win versus Mercer on Tuesday night inside Brooks Gym, and followed things up with a 13-kill, 15-dig performance in the sweep over USC Upstate on Friday night. Devine also hit .344 against the Spartans, and has now registered double-doubles in five consecutive matches.
This marks the second weekly honor for the physical education major this season and the fourth of Devine's career.
ETSU closes out its homestand Tuesday night when the Bucs host Kennesaw State at 6 p.m., inside Brooks Gym.

IV. Exposure Pathway Analysis
This section of the PHA addresses exposure pathways to air contaminants, or the various ways that residents of Vieques might have come into contact with contaminants previously released to the air. Analyzing exposure pathways is important because:
- If people are not exposed to a site's environmental contamination, then the contaminants cannot pose a public health hazard and additional analyses are not necessary.
- If people are exposed to site-related environmental contamination, then further analysis is needed to characterize that exposure. Just because exposure occurs does not mean that people will have health effects or get sick. In fact, for many chemicals, environmental exposures are far lower than the exposures that people experience through their diets and perhaps through their occupations. Several issues must be considered to understand the public health implications of exposure: exposure concentrations, the frequency and duration of exposure, and the route of exposure by which people may be exposed. These issues must be carefully evaluated to determine if harmful health effects might result from exposure.
More detail on the air exposure pathway at Vieques follows. Section IV.A identifies the specific exposure pathways by which residents of Vieques might have come into contact with air contaminants, and Section IV.B reviews the process ATSDR used to evaluate exposure pathways.
A. Exposure Pathways for Contaminants Released to the Air
In general, there are two ways that people can come into contact with contaminants released from a source into the air. People might inhale contaminants while they are still airborne (known as direct exposure), or people might come into contact with the contaminants after they have been removed from the air by deposition or precipitation and have accumulated in other media, such as soil, groundwater, or food items (known as indirect exposure). This PHA primarily addresses the issue of direct inhalation exposure to air contaminants. ATSDR's other PHAs, which examine levels of contamination in drinking water, soil, and seafood, address the issue of potential indirect exposures to air contaminants.
ATSDR reviewed five elements of exposure pathways as a first step in evaluating the air exposure pathway. These elements, and their specific applicability to Vieques, follow:
- Source of contamination. A source of contamination must exist in order for exposures to occur. Many sources of air contamination are found at Vieques, most notably releases that previously occurred during the military training exercises.
- Environmental media and transport. People cannot be exposed unless contaminants move from their source or origin through the environment to an exposure point. ATSDR has identified two dispersion modeling studies (Cruz Pérez 2000; IT 2001) that suggest contaminants previously released during the military training exercises might have transported downwind in the air to the residential areas of Vieques. These contaminants dispersed greatly over the 7.9 miles that separated the LIA and residential areas. Further, during certain times (e.g., when exercises were not occurring, when rainfall removed contamination from the air, when winds blew air pollutants away from the residential areas), no contamination from the LIA reached the residential areas. This element of the exposure pathway, therefore, is not always present. However, ATSDR considers the various pathways reviewed in this document to be completed exposure pathways during limited time periods, specifically, when the wind was blowing toward the residential areas during training exercises.
- Point of exposure. Exposure cannot occur unless contaminants reach a location where people have access. The two modeling studies predict that some contaminants from the LIA might have crossed into the residential area of Vieques in low quantities.
- Route of exposure. For exposure to occur, people must contact chemicals in a contaminated media, either through inhalation, ingestion, or dermal contact. Inhalation exposures clearly occur if air contaminants are present.
- Potentially exposed population. Ultimately, people must come into contact with chemicals at the point of exposure in order to conclude that exposure has taken place. Recognizing again that dispersion modeling studies suggest that some contaminants from the LIA reached the residential areas of Vieques, a potentially exposed population is clearly present for this site.
Of the five elements of an exposure pathway mentioned above, only the "environmental media and transport" element is not always present. However, this element was present during specific limited time periods, when training exercises were occurring and when the wind was blowing toward residential areas. ATSDR therefore considers the inhalation exposure pathway at the island of Vieques to be a completed exposure pathway.
To characterize these potential exposures, ATSDR identified four inhalation exposure scenarios, which Table 3 lists. These scenarios address the main ways that residents might come into contact with contamination, and they also encompass specific concerns that community members have expressed to ATSDR since 1999 (see Section VI). The exposure scenarios considered in this PHA follow:
- Exposures to wind-blown dust on days when military training exercises did not take place.
- Exposures to contaminants released during military training exercises that involved use of only practice bombs (i.e., the types of exercises that took place between April 19, 1999, and May 1, 2003).
- Exposures to contaminants released during the military training exercises that involved the use of live bombs (i.e., the types of exercises that took place prior to April 19, 1999, primarily those taking place between the early 1970s and April 19, 1999).
- Exposures to contaminants released during open burning and open detonation of selected wastes and to materials (depleted uranium and chaff) used sporadically on Vieques between the early 1970s and May 1, 2003.
Section IV.B presents the methodology ATSDR used to evaluate the public health implications of exposure to environmental contaminants, and Section V documents the results of ATSDR's evaluations for the four potential exposure pathways listed above.
B. Assessment Methodology
ATSDR used established methodologies to determine the public health implications of exposure to air contaminants. Specifically, ATSDR followed a three-step approach when addressing the four exposure scenarios identified in the previous section: identify concentrations of contaminants released to the air, select chemicals for further evaluation by screening the concentrations against health-based comparison values, and perform toxicologic evaluations for those contaminants selected for further evaluation. More detailed information on these individual steps follows.
The first step in addressing the exposure scenarios is tabulating ambient air concentrations for site-related contaminants. ATSDR prefers to use actual measurements for this step (i.e., air sampling results), rather than relying on engineering calculations or predictions from air quality models. This preference results from the fact that air quality models estimate ambient air concentrations, sometimes with great degrees of uncertainty, while sampling studies measure ambient air concentrations. However, air quality models are critical tools in cases when exposures occur during time frames when no samples were collected or analyzed. Section V indicates the exposure concentrations ATSDR used in this PHA.
The second step in evaluating exposure pathways is selecting chemicals for further evaluation. This is accomplished by comparing the ambient air concentrations for site-related contaminants to health-based comparison values. Comparison values are developed from the scientific literature concerning exposure and health effects. To be protective of human health, most comparison values have large safety factors built into them. In fact, some comparison values might be hundreds or thousands of times lower than exposure levels shown to produce effects in either humans or laboratory animals. As a result, ambient air concentrations lower than their corresponding comparison values are generally considered to be safe and not expected to cause harmful health effects, but the opposite is not true: ambient air concentrations greater than comparison values are not necessarily levels of air pollution that could present a possible public health hazard. Rather, chemicals with concentrations higher than comparison values require further evaluation. Chemicals without published health-based comparison values are automatically considered as requiring further evaluation. The text box on the following page presents the approach ATSDR used to select comparison values for this PHA.
The final step in the assessment methodology is evaluating the public health implications of exposure to any contaminants identified as requiring further evaluation. For these contaminants, ATSDR puts the public health implications of exposure into perspective by considering site-specific exposure conditions and interpreting toxicologic and epidemiologic studies published in the scientific literature. Thus, this step is a state-of-the-science review of what the exposure levels mean in a public health context.
Approach to Selecting Health-Based Comparison Values
For every contaminant considered in this PHA, ATSDR attempted to identify an appropriate health-based comparison value to evaluate whether ambient air concentrations of the contaminant (whether measured or modeled) warrant a detailed public health evaluation. Concentrations of contaminants lower than comparison values are believed to be "safe" or "harmless," while those greater than comparison values need to be evaluated further. ATSDR used the following hierarchy to select appropriate health-based comparison values:
- If the contaminant has comparison values published in ATSDR's "Air Comparison Values" (ATSDR 2002), the lowest of these comparison values was selected.
- If no ATSDR comparison values are available, the EPA risk-based concentration for ambient air was selected, if available. These values are published by EPA Region 3.
- If neither of the previous sources have comparison values, ATSDR researched other sources, such as EPA's National Ambient Air Quality Standards and occupational exposure limits.
- If no appropriate health-based comparison value is available, ATSDR automatically selected the contaminant for further evaluation and reviewed relevant toxicologic and epidemiologic studies to put the measured levels of contamination into a public health context.
By this approach, ATSDR identified health-based comparison values from many different sources (e.g., ATSDR's Air Comparison Values, EPA Region 3's risk-based concentrations, EPA's National Ambient Air Quality Standards). Though the comparison values from these different sources may have been derived using different assumptions, most can be interpreted in the same fashion: ambient air concentrations below the comparison values are generally considered to be safe and free from adverse health effects. In cases where chemicals have health-based comparison values published for both cancer and non-cancer effects, ATSDR chose the lower value for screening purposes, thus ensuring that the initial screening protects against both cancer and non-cancer endpoints.
ATSDR encourages readers interested in more information on health-based comparison values to refer to Appendix A. That appendix lists the different types of comparison values used in this PHA, as well as the assumptions made to derive them.
2 For this calculation, ATSDR considered all wind directions between northeast (45º) and southeast (135º) as "from east to west."
3 Though the Navy owns the property where military training exercises take place, various parties used this property prior to 1999. These parties included the Navy, the U.S. Marine Corps, and military forces from some foreign countries.

Occasion for Conversation with Jerry DeCicca of The Black Swans
July 6, 2012 2 Comments
We talk with Jerry DeCicca, songwriter, singer, and acoustic guitarist for The Black Swans, about their forthcoming album Occasion for Song, out on Misra Records. We also touch on their previous albums, like this one, this one, and this one. But, Jerry wears many hats. For one, the top hat he dons as Dr. Silverfoot, his balloon animal making alter-ego. He's also produced some great albums with such songwriters as Larry John Wilson, Bob Martin, and Ed Askew. This work, in turn, lead to collaborations with Bonnie "Prince" Billy and Ed Askew himself. But that's not all. Jerry is also at work on a book that compiles narratives from obscure American singer-songwriters, which also reflects on his life as an American singer-songwriter. The episode opens with a cut off the new album and closes with one off their previous album, Don't Blame the Stars. Settle in and give a listen, both on record and in conversation. He's a great fella doing a lot of interesting work. Buy an album, see a show, spread the word!
Note: We had intended this episode to go up on July 2, 2012. Unfortunately, a derecho struck our Central Virginia office and took power with it.

Russell Wasendorf Sr., founder of the bankrupt commodities firm Peregrine Financial Group Inc., will remain in custody after his planned guilty plea to stealing more than $100 million from customers, a federal judge said in postponing another judge's order.
U.S. District Judge Linda Reade today postponed Wasendorf's release following the government's opposition.
Wasendorf, 64, is set to appear in federal court this afternoon in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to enter his plea.
"Defendant shall remain detained pending further order of the court," Reade said.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Jon Scoles last week ruled that Wasendorf could be freed on bail after his plea and live with his friend and pastor, Linda Livingston, who volunteered to supervise him while he awaits sentencing. Wasendorf would also be required to wear an electronic monitoring device.
"There is at least a 'serious risk' defendant might choose to flee rather than face the consequences of his offenses," Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter Deegan wrote in his motion. "Anytime a defendant is facing a substantial likelihood of spending the rest of their life in jail, that risk should be regarded as serious. This is especially so where a person has stolen more than $100 million and nearly all of the money is unaccounted for."
50 Years
Wasendorf's plea agreement calls for a prison sentence of as long as 50 years. While he consented to entry of the plea before Scoles, the accord needs Reade's approval.
Wasendorf's crimes came to light on July 9 when the National Futures Association, an industry self-regulator, announced that about $200 million in customer funds the firm reported was on deposit at its bank was unaccounted for.
The case is U.S. v. Wasendorf, 12-cr-2012, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Iowa (Cedar Rapids).
The bankruptcy case is In re Peregrine Financial Group Inc., 12-27488, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Illinois (Chicago). The regulatory case is Commodity Futures Trading Commission v. Peregrine Financial Group Inc., 12-cv- 5383, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois (Chicago).

Yale Mentor Has Extensive Experience with U.S. Program
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Yale women's hockey head coach Hilary Witt has been named an assistant coach for USA Hockey's Under-22 Select Team. She will coach at the 2010 USA Hockey Women's National Festival Aug. 13-21 in Lake Placid, N.Y., and the team's three-game series in Canada in Aug. 18-21.
Witt has a history of involvement with USA Hockey. She played on the U.S. National Team in 2000-01 and was an assistant coach for the U.S. team in 2006-07, earning a silver medal at the 2007 IIHF Women's World Championship along with former Bulldog defenseman Helen Resor '09.
Witt joined the Bulldogs as an assistant coach in 2001-02 before moving up to the head coach role the following season. She was named ECAC Women's Coach of the Year in 2002-03, and became Yale's all-time leader in wins in 2005. The 2004-05 squad set the school record for overall wins (16) and conference wins (12), earning a trip to the ECAC semifinals for the first time. The 2007-08 team broke the school record for goals in a season with 96 and finished with the second-most wins in school history, 15.
Witt is Northeastern's all-time leading scorer and helped the Huskies to a pair of Beanpot championships (1997 and 1998) along with the 1997 ECAC championship. Overall she totaled 113 goals, 95 assists and 208 points for her career (1997-2000). She was a three-time finalist for the Kazmaier Award as the top women's player in college hockey.
A communications major at NU, Witt graduated from Canton (Mass.) High School in 1996. She is a member of the Massachusetts Hockey Hall of Fame, Northeastern's Hall of Fame and the Women's Beanpot Hall of Fame.
In addition to Witt, many other members of the Yale program have been involved with U.S. women's national teams. Resor was the first Yale women's ice hockey player to make the Olympics when she played for Team USA and earned a bronze medal in Torino in 2006. She also has two gold medals (2005, 2009) and one silver (2007) with the U.S. at the IIHF World Championships. Forward Crysti Howser '09 was a member of USA Hockey's Under-22 Select team in 2007 and 2008, playing in the annual three-game series against Team Canada. She scored a goal for the U.S. in 2008.
Additionally, forward Maria Dennis '88 was on the 1990 U.S. Women's National Team that earned silver at the first IIHF Women's World Championship, and goaltender Laurie Belliveau '98 was on the U.S. Women's National Team that earned silver at the 1999 IIHF Women's World Championship. Also, former Yale men's hockey assistant coach Ben Smith coached the U.S. women's team at the Olympics three times, winning a gold medal in 1998, and now serves as a National Team advisor. Former Yale equipment manager Ed Maturo was equipment manager with the U.S. Women's Olympic Team in 2006 and the U.S. Men's Olympic Team in 1994.
A number of current Bulldogs have been involved in other USA Hockey programs recently. At the same time Witt's selection as assistant coach with the U-22 team was announced, USA Hockey also announced that rising senior goalie Jackee Snikeris (Downingtown, Pa.) has been selected for the Warren Strelow Goaltending Camp for the third time. She will train as part of a group of 12 of the top female goaltenders in the country May 27-30 in Ann Arbor, Mich. Four other Bulldogs – rising sophomore goalie Erin Callahan (Kenilworth, Ill.), rising junior forward Aleca Hughes (Westwood, Mass.), rising senior forward Bray Ketchum (Greenwich, Conn.) and rising sophomore defenseman/forward Natalie Wedell (Arden Hills, Minn.) -- participated in USA Hockey's Open Olympic Team Tryouts last year.
