have partic ipated the fact of such a gathering whih the president is lying tit the point ot death has occasioned considerable talk but it seems that this conference of leaders was projected last week before the president . relapse became so serious the vice-president was told that it was his duty to go to washington and declare his purpose of exercising the duties ol president george lili s attorney-general ward and mr conkling gave legal pinion upon the constitutional clause in favor of the vice-president thus assuming control as a result of the conference it was agreed that the matter should be held in abeyance for the present until it shall be determined whether the president will survive his re lapse or not in the meantime the opinion of two of the best known constitutional lawyers in the country — one a democrat and the other a republican have been sought by friends of the vice-president and will be presented to his notice at an early day all the persons present at the conference were unanimous in the opinion that it wa ttle duty of mr arthur to assume control it is said on good authority that postmas ter general james ami secretary lincoln who would carry the war department art favorably inclined toward the project general arthur is willing provided secre tarv blaine would consent and strong ef forts are being made to obtain his consent if the vice-president becomes the acting president the stalwarts think that they will have no trouble in carrying new york this year a stalwart will be made su preme court judge in place of clifford deceased and another will be appointed minister to berlin while many important otlices will be tilled to the advantage of their wing of the party flour and all provisions have taken a rise but cotton is not apt to follow

differently next time tarboro southerner the following is the first intelligible description we have have seen of m franco much talked of gretas locomo tive the construction is much like an ordinary locomotive except that there is no tire the boiler is n receptacle of ex tra strength and the water is raised to a temperature of about 393 degrees by tho injection of steam at a pressure of 225 pounds the srelesa locomotive is thus charged with water capable of giving oft a quantity of steam sufficient for a mod crate journey ( if course the pressure of steam given off is very great aud gradu ally lessens but the inconvenience which would ai ise from the constant change of pressure is overcome by the adoption of a reducing valve by means of which pressure of steam reaching the cylinders can be nicely regulated those ngines were tried and worked from rneil to port marley 9.51 miles and from port marley to marie le i.of 2.15 miles it is therefore evident that these engines are quite ca pable of covering journeys of length suf ficient for train way work especially as the engine described draws a train of twenty tons the land bill in its final shape the irish land bill lias at last been pass ed by both lords and commons and a great step has been taken toward remedy ing the evils from which ireland has so long suffered however like most compromise ineasnrcs it is wholly satisfactory to no body and least of all perhaps to those for whose benefit is intended the funda mental principle of the bill is the right of free sale the irish land system being partly codified and partly rearra.-ged in such a way as to give the tenant a marketable pro city in his h tiding independent of anv improvements which he himself may have made the other two f's i e the guar antees of fair rent and fixity of tenure arc deduced from the right of free ah in the passage of the bill through parliament it bus undergone notable alterations some of them being of considerable importance one is that the commission of three may utilize the services of the county courts another that no member of parliament shall at the same time be a member of the com mission charged with carrying the provis ions of the bill into effect a third secures to owners their game right a fourth se cures the landlord pay for the improve ments he h is made i:i case a holding is sold the fifth declares that deductions shall be made from the receipts of a sale for deterioration of the landlord's property when the bill reached i he lords it suffered numerous amendments all of which were set aside on it return to the commons ex cept the one which struck out the provis ion to tav proceedings lor collection of debt from tenants when tin bill was sent the second time <,, the upper house the lord exhibited gnat firmness striking out again tin features of the bill to which they hail before objected and exhibited a dis position which if persisted in would have forced the resignation of mr gladstone and hi cabinet mueh feeling in favor of the stand taken by the lord was now ex hibited in unexpected quarters and it be gun tosccm not impossible that if the two patties went before the country in a general election the conservatives would tome out victorious over the party at present in power the immediate r nit of the lord firmness was a partial victory for the oppo nents of the bill as mr gladstone on the return of the bill to the house of commons assented to three of the lords amendments — one authorizing an appeal t the b_nd court in the matter of leases another giving a landlord access to the land court when he failed to come to an agreement with bis tenant and the third striking out mr par nell n :. ure for staying proceedings of ejectment whin the land court has been asked by the tenant to fix a fair rent upon all points however touching the principles of the bill the government was unyielmng and the concessions made to the louis will not impair its litn -- for being in the lan guage of lord salisbury uof gnat benefit to the tenant and not much harm to the landlocds.'1 the bill will take effect with in .. few days as steps for securing tho <_ icen's

Kudlow distorts health insurance mandate to claim violators "face a $25,000 fine, or imprisonment, or both"
Research ››› ››› MATT MCLAUGHLIN
On his CNBC show, Larry Kudlow distorted a provision in the health care reform bill proposed by Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) to claim that "if an individual opts out of this insurance plan ... apparently they face a $25,000 fine, or imprisonment, or both." In fact, the bill would levy a $1,900 "excise tax" on those who don't purchase health insurance; those who refuse to pay the tax could face a fine or prison sentence, as the Wall Street Journal editorial Kudlow cited as the source of his claim clearly stated.
Kudlow's claim: Individuals "face a $25,000 fine, or imprisonment, or both" for "opt[ing] out of this insurance plan"
From the September 29 edition of CNBC's The Kudlow Report:
KUDLOW: So the threat of government takeover is still out there one way or another.
SEN. JON KYL (R-AZ): Yes.
KUDLOW: Now let me just ask you, from this Republican ad, and just generically. There's a lot of tax hikes in the Baucus bill.
KYL: Right.
KUDLOW: And particular for putting mandates -- insurance coverage mandates -- on individuals and businesses. What caught my eye from a Wall Street Journal editorial and other commentary, if an individual opts out of this insurance plan, if they just say, "I don't want to buy insurance right now," apparently they face a $25,000 fine, or imprisonment, or both, all for something that Senator -- that President Obama keeps saying is not a tax. So the IRS is going to fine you, and you may wind up going to jail.
In fact, those who don't pay "excise tax" for opting out could face fine or prison
Bill establishes a $1,900 "penalty" for those who violate the personal responsibility requirement. Baucus' bill, the America's Healthy Future Act of 2009, includes a "Personal Responsibility Requirement" that states, "Beginning in 2013, all U.S. citizens and legal residents would be required to purchase coverage." Changes to the bill established a maximum penalty of $1,900 for violating this requirement.
Politico: "Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty." As the Politico noted in a September 25 report, Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) received a note from Tom Barthold, chief of staff for the Joint Committee on Taxation, "confirming the penalty for failing to pay the up to $1,900 fee for not buying health insurance." Politico reported: "Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty, Barthold wrote."
Indeed, WSJ editorial Kudlow cited states that "if you don't pay" excise tax "the IRS could punish you with a $25,000 fine or up to a year in jail." From the September 29 Wall Street Journal editorial:
Chairman Max Baucus's bill includes the so-called individual mandate, along with what he calls a $1,900 "excise tax" if you don't buy health insurance. [...] And, lo, it turns out that if you don't pay that tax, the IRS could punish you with a $25,000 fine or up to a year in jail, or both.

Future of UM Foresters' Ball Threatened
About 140 students were kicked out of this year's Foresters' Ball, which was held in the Adams Center at The University of Montana, for being intoxicated and unruly.
The event, which was just held for the 95th year Feb. 3 and Feb. 4, is a fundraiser for scholarships for UM's forestry department students.
The Foresters' Ball is deep-rooted in tradition. Each year forestry students build a frontier town and host a dance with live music.
The two-night event has long been associated with rowdy behavior, and even used to make one "Playboy" magazines top college party lists annually. This reputation, and the incidents that led to it, ultimately resulted in the event being turned into an alcohol-free event in the mid-90′s.
Additionally, during the recent sexual assault investigations held by university administrators it was found that alcohol was a factor in all the assaults. Inline with this, the Foresters' Ball was mentioned in these meetings as an event of concern.
UM College of Forestry and Conservation Dean Jim Burchfield told the Missoulian the students' behavior at this year's ball was "reprehensible" and added: "There will never be another event like this on campus."
Approximately 1,500 people attend this year's event, meaning nearly 10 percent of the attendees were kicked out of the 95th Annual Foresters' Ball.
Forestry students met with administrators Friday about ways to make the dance safer. The Facebook page created for the Foresters' Ball has received a slew of comments regarding this topic.

Something tells me President Barack Obama has had it with the free ride that fact-challenged conservative obstructionists have been getting lately.
In remarks earlier today, the President reminded the conservative minority that the the election was a public rejection of more reckless Bush-style tax cuts, and a mandate for active government to get our economy on track (emphasis added):
A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastrophe and guarantee a longer recession, a less robust recovery, and a more uncertain future. Millions more jobs will be lost. More businesses will be shuttered. More dreams will be deferred.
That's why I feel such a sense of urgency about the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Plan that is before Congress today. With it, we can save or create more than three million jobs, doing things that will strengthen our country for generations to come. It is not merely a prescription for short-term spending – it's a strategy for long-term economic growth in areas like renewable energy, health care, and education.
Now, in the past few days I've heard criticisms of this plan that echo the very same failed theories that helped lead us into this crisis – the notion that tax cuts alone will solve all our problems; that we can ignore fundamental challenges like energy independence and the high cost of health care and still expect our economy and our country to thrive.
I reject that theory, and so did the American people when they went to the polls in November and voted resoundingly for change. So I urge members of Congress to act without delay. No plan is perfect, and we should work to make it stronger. But let's not make the perfect the enemy of the essential. Let's show people all over our country who are looking for leadership in this difficult time that we are equal to the task.
The conservative minority seems to have spooked some in the Senate, to the point where they feel compelled to nitpick over items amounting to less than one percent of the package, and agitate for arbitrary cuts that will make it harder for our government to blunt the impact of recession and invest in future recovery.
Now the Senate is more forcefully hearing from Obama. But they need to hear more forcefully from us.
Conservatives have been beating us in calls to Congress by 100 to 1. That cannot stand if we are to bring about change.
Call the Senate at 1-866-544-7573, tell your Senators to pass big and bold economic recovery legislation immediately and resist attempts to weaken the bill with more corporate tax breaks and cuts in public investment.
It's one thing for the President to claim a mandate. It's another for the people to show the mandate. Call Congress now.

LONDON (AP) — Sloane Stephens wasn't about to let the tennis match get in the way of her plans for the evening.
Stephens took only 62 minutes to brush aside fellow American Jamie Hampton 6-3, 6-3 in the opening round at Wimbledon on Monday, then renewed one of her favourite traditions — a trip to a nearby Indian restaurant for dinner.
"We need to speed this up," Stephens said in her post-match interview. "Normally I get the chicken tikka masala, but the last two nights I've got the chicken korma."
Stephens was a bright spot on an otherwise disappointing day for the American women. Seven of them lost their first-round matches. The only two to advance — Stephens and Christina McHale — were pitted against other Americans, meaning someone from the U.S. had to advance.
The two American men in action on Monday fared better. No. 18 seed John Isner and unseeded Rajeev Ram each won.
In the win over Hampton, Stephens got 73 per cent of her first serves in and was effective with her powerful groundstrokes, especially from the forehand side.
"I just stayed really aggressive the whole time," said Stephens, who played no grass tuneup tournaments before Wimbledon. "I think that worked well for me."
The only time Hampton had a lead in the match was when she broke Stephens' serve in the fourth game of the second set to go ahead 3-1. She didn't win another game.
"She served well," Hampton said of her opponent. "She won the big points."
Last week, as a qualifier, Hampton reached her first career final, losing to Elena Vesnina. En route to the final, she upset fourth-ranked Agnieszka Radwanska and ninth-ranked Caroline Wozniacki. Hampton also defeated former Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova at the French Open.
Stephens, meanwhile, has shown excellent form at the other Grand Slams this season. She upset Serena Williams on her way to the Australian Open semifinals. At the French Open, she advanced to the fourth round.
In the other all-American outing, the 70th-ranked McHale defeated the 147th-ranked Alexa Glatch 6-4, 6-4 to move into the second round.
McHale is still trying to regain her confidence after a bout with mononucleosis took its toll on the second half of last season.
McHale's best result this season was reaching the third round at the Doha, Qatar tournament. Otherwise, she posted seven first-round losses and six second-round losses.
"I'm excited with this win and I think it was a good match that I played really well on the big points," McHale said. "It's just been a tough year because I didn't get the match play. When it's 4-all in the third and you haven't won a lot of matches it's a matter of confidence."
Isner served 22 aces during his 6-1, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (3) win over Evgeny Donskoy of Russia.
The victory was payback for Isner, who lost to Donskoy 6-7 (3), 6-3, 6-4 in the first round of a tune-up tournament in the Netherlands last week.
The 86th-ranked Ram captured a 7-5, 6-4, 6-7 (2), 6-2 win over Lukas Lacko of Slovakia.
All the other American women in action lost: 26th-seeded Varvara Lepchenko, CoCo Vandeweghe, Melanie Oudin, Vania King and Lauren Davis. All but Davis went three sets.

Brent argues their dominance is due, in part, to the de-democratization of American Jewish organizations. Is the term "Jewish lobby" anti-Semitic, and is the term "Israel lobby" even accurate? Brent and Sarah discuss the role of Christian Zionists. What should we make of Rand Paul's trip to Israel? Plus: Can we talk about the Palestinians?

Additional Poems by Louise Bogan
The Frightened Man
In fear of the rich mouth
I kissed the thin,--
Even that was a trap
To snare me in.
Even she, so long
The frail, the scentless,
Is become strong,
And proves relentless.
O, forget her praise,
And how I sought her
Through a hazardous maze
By shafted water.
from Body of this Death: Poems (1923)
You have put your two hands upon me, and your mouth,
You have said my name as a prayer.
Here where trees are planted by the water
I have watched your eyes, cleansed from regret,
And your lips, closed over all that love cannot say,
My mother remembers the agony of her womb
And long years that seemed to promise more than this.
She says, "You do not love me,
You do not want me,
You will go away."
In the country whereto I go
I shall not see the face of my friend
Nor her hair the color of sunburnt grasses;
Together we shall not find
The land on whose hills bends the new moon
In air traversed of birds.
What have I thought of love?
I have said, "It is beauty and sorrow."
I have thought that it would bring me lost delights, and splendor
As a wind out of old time . . .
But there is only the evening here,
And the sound of willows
Now and again dipping their long oval leaves in the water.
from Body of this Death: Poems (1923)
Words for Departure
Nothing was remembered, nothing forgotten.
When we awoke, wagons were passing on the warm summer pavements,
The window-sills were wet from rain in the night,
Birds scattered and settled over chimneypots
As among grotesque trees.
Nothing was accepted, nothing looked beyond.
Slight-voiced bells separated hour from hour,
The afternoon sifted coolness
And people drew together in streets becoming deserted.
There was a moon, and light in a shop-front,
And dusk falling like precipitous water.
Hand clasped hand
Forehead still bowed to forehead--
Nothing was lost, nothing possessed
There was no gift nor denial.
I have remembered you.
You were not the town visited once,
Nor the road falling behind running feet.
You were as awkward as flesh
And lighter than frost or ashes.
You were the rind,
And the white-juiced apple,
The song, and the words waiting for music.
You have learned the beginning;
Go from mine to the other.
Be together; eat, dance, despair,
Sleep, be threatened, endure.
You will know the way of that.
But at the end, be insolent;
Be absurd--strike the thing short off;
Be mad--only do not let talk
Wear the bloom from silence.
And go away without fire or lantern
Let there be some uncertainty about your departure.
from Body of this Death: Poems (1923)
Now that I know
How passion warms little
Of flesh in the mould,
And treasure is brittle,--
I'll lie here and learn
How, over their ground
Trees make a long shadow
And a light sound.
from Body of this Death: Poems (1923)
The Alchemist
I burned my life, that I may find
A passion wholly of the mind,
Thought divorced from eye and bone
Ecstasy come to breath alone.
I broke my life, to seek relief
From the flawed light of love and grief.
With mounting beat the utter fire
Charred existence and desire.
It died low, ceased its sudden thresh.
I had found unmysterious flesh--
Not the mind's avid substance--still
Passionate beyond the will.
from Body of this Death: Poems (1923)
Chanson un Peu Naďve
What body can be ploughed,
Sown, and broken yearly?
But she would not die, she vowed,
But she has, nearly.
Sing, heart sing;
Call and carol clearly.
And, since she could not die,
Care would be a feather,
A film over the eye
Of two that lie together.
Fly, song, fly,
Break your little tether.
So from strength concealed
She makes her pretty boast:
Plain is a furrow healed
And she may love you most.
Cry, song, cry,
And hear your crying lost.
from Body of this Death: Poems (1923)
Since you would claim the sources of my thought
Recall the meshes whence it sprang unlimed,
The reedy traps which other hands have times
To close upon it. Conjure up the hot
Blaze that it cleared so cleanly, or the snow
Devised to strike it down. It will be free.
Whatever nets draw in to prison me
At length your eyes must turn to watch it go.
My mouth, perhaps, may learn one thing too well,
My body hear no echo save its own,
Yet will the desperate mind , maddened and proud,
Seek out the storm, escape the bitter spell
That we obey, strain to the wind, be thrown
Straight to its freedom in the thunderous cloud
from Body of this Death: Poems (1923)
The Crossed Apple
I've come to give you fruit from out my orchard,
Of wide report.
I have trees there that bear me many apples.
Of every sort:
Clear, streaked; red and russet; green and golden;
Sour and sweet.
This apple's from a tree yet unbeholden,
Where two kinds meet,
So that this side is red without a dapple,
And this side's hue
Is clear and snowy. It's a lovely apple.
It is for you.
Within are five black pips as big as peas,
As you will find,
Potent to breed you five great apple trees
Of varying kind:
To breed you wood for fire, leaves for shade,
Apples for sauce.
Oh, this is a good apple for a maid,
It is a cross,
Fine on the finer, so the flesh is tight,
And grained like silk.
Sweet Burning gave the red side, and the white
Is Meadow Milk.
Eat it, and you will taste more than the fruit:
The blossom, too,
The sun, the air, the darkness at the root,
The rain, the dew,
The earth we came to, and the time we flee,
The fire and the breast.
I claim the white part, maiden, that's for me.
You take the rest.
from Dark Summer (1929). Online Source
Baroque Comment
From loud sound and still chance;
From mindless earth, wet with a dead million leaves;
From the forest, the empty desert, the tearing beasts,
The kelp-disordered beaches;
Coincident with the lie, anger, lust, oppression, and death in many forms;
Ornamental structures, continents apart, separated by seas;
Fitted marble, swung bells; fruit in garlands as well as on the branch;
The flower at last in bronze, stretched backward, or curled within;
Stone in various shapes: beyond the pyramid, the contrived arch and
The named constellations;
Crown and vesture; palm and laurel chosen as noble and enduring;
Speech proud in sound; death considered sacrifice;
Mask, weapon, urn; the ordered strings;
Fountains, foreheads under weather-bleached hair;
The wreath, the oar, the tool,
The prow;
The turned eyes and the opened mouth of love.
from Sleeping Fury (1937).

Gorenje RF60309OX review£775.00
Product alert
Don't buy this fridge freezer - it has a potentially unsafe plastic back.
Our fire tests have shown that this type of backing dramatically increases the spread of fire, as it offers inadequate protection to the flammable insulation that is used in all refrigeration appliances. We are therefore only recommending models with flame-retardant backing.
We've been told this fridge freezer is being upgraded to have flame-retardant backing, so our Don't Buy recommendation relates to the plastic-backed version of this product that's still in shops.
If you already own this product, be reassured the risk of a refrigeration appliance causing a fire in the first place is low. The material used in the backing allows an existing fire to spread, but isn't the cause of fire itself.

Shopping for marks: Warnings from a Vancouver teacher
Peter Hill, an English teacher at University Hill secondary in Vancouver, blew a whistle several years ago when he noticed that students who were struggling with English were dropping his class and going elsewhere to get the grades they needed for post-secondary.
In an op-ed published this week, he says the B.C. Education Ministry has done nothing to stop students from shopping for marks, even though it threatens the education system's credibility. Here is what he wrote:
University of British Columbia admissions has just come out with an extraordinary declaration. If there is more than a 20-point difference between the high school English mark given by the teacher and the government exam mark, university admissions will only look at the government exam mark. Why would they be so mistrustful of a student's school marks?
One reason is that the university doesn't always know where the marks come from. The student's transcript may say s/he is enrolled at Kitsilano high school, but may have taken his or her English course at a disreputable online or private school. The universities have no way of knowing whether the student has earned, or shopped, for their grade. As you can imagine, these fly-by-night schools are very popular with the kind of student that will do anything to get a better mark. In our connected world, information on easy courses gets around fast. A student can drop a course and pick up another online in a matter of minutes. Students who obtain these easy marks are like athletes on steroids. They move ahead of the other students and get the university spots that honest students can't access.
What effect does this have on our universities? As UBC English professor Stephan Guy-Bray recently put it, "Anyone marking first-year English notices that a lot of students just aren't up to it. They've managed to get into university without basic English skills."
I've seen how online schools conduct their exams. They tell the student to close their textbooks and make sure they're not getting any extra help before taking the test. This is the equivalent of a teacher in a traditional classroom giving an exam and leaving the room for an hour. Not all students would cheat, but many would. It's a joke, and sadly it's being told on the education system in this province.
Janet Steffenhagen's recent articles in The Vancouver Sun about inflated marks at offshore schools demonstrate how bad the problem is getting. Everyone wants a dogwood certificate, but the standard of the certificate is getting weaker and weaker.
Whose responsibility is it to ensure that education is regulated? It's the responsibility of the Ministry of Education, of course. But since it heralded in its policy of "choice," the proliferation of "credit mills" has grown. Looking at the government's own website it's evident which schools have an unreasonable gap between school and exam marks. Yet these schools continue to operate. You would think that the Ministry would spend a day looking at their own data and shut down those schools that clearly are unable to maintain a reasonable standard. But for some unknown reason they seem reluctant to do this.
There is another easy solution to this problem — all the government has to do is show where the mark came from on the student's transcript. The universities can then establish which institutions are reliable and which aren't. Educators have been clamouring for this approach for years yet the government still doesn't act. Ontario is suffering from the same problem, but it has gone much further in ensuring their transcripts show where the marks come from. "We will require transcripts include the name of private institutions so that colleges or universities will be able to see where grades are earned," Ontario education minister Leona Dombrowsky recently said in reaction to public outcry.
Our own education minister Don McRae was once a teacher. He must have given out grades at some point and I'm sure he stood by his grades. Teachers in British Columbia want to continue this tradition, but they can't if students can continually subvert this process by shopping for the best marks. Why not bring some integrity back to a system that is rapidly losing its credibility?

Jimmy Fallon has grabbed a lot of attention with his lip sync contests against various guests, but for muscular Terry Crews, Fallon had something else in mind.
Crews, who stars in "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" and is the new host of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," stopped by "The Tonight Show" on Monday and joined Fallon in a unique demonstration: nip syncing.
Though Crews is no stranger to the gym, Fallon needed a little extra assistance in the chest muscle department. The "Tonight Show" host had his head superimposed on a pectorally talented gentleman as they made their chests bounce in time to that Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder hit, "Ebony and Ivory."
There's really not much else to say about watching two grown men bounce their pecs in tune to a slow song from the early 1980s. All we can do is tip our hats in silent tribute.
And vow to visit the gym a little more often.

Opening Remarks
Sandi Formica, ADEQ
Sandi Formica, opened the meeting. Her division is also hosting the Arkansas Watershed Advisory Group's 2004 conference, "Clean Water – Stronger Communities". that the roundtable members will be attending.
One of the biggest challenges of instituting a P2 program is overcoming misperceptions from various media, enforcement and permitting programs. After a rough start, the Arkansas P2 program began to take root.
The P2 program has four meetings a year with the agency to
educate staff on P2. They are also
making an agency
They are working to develop a stakeholder group to form relationships and partnerships because it will facilitate getting results. Another challenge is the fact that staffing and funding has not been consistent. As a result they have had to start/stop operations.
Allen discussed the mercury P2 program.
Members of the organization are thinking of how to incorporate compliance assistance. They are also looking for bringing in outside resources for compliance assistance. They are seeking funding for outside resources.
Sandi emphasized that they wanted to create a consistent P2 program. She promoted the watershed management program as one of the best tools for promoting P2.
P2 Roundtable Timeline Review
Joy Campbell, EPA
At the last roundtable we had discussed:
1. Indicators
EPA's National Strategic Plan:
Goal 5.2.2: P2 to Industry – The P2 grants that we get is tied to this goal.
We use indicators to show our success back to congress. The following are a set of indicators:
Air Emissions Reduced
Hazwaste Reduced
Clean Water
Joy suggested adding the regulatory reduction. As a group we chose to use a P2 Based EMS as an umbrella
Programs that work under that are
We chose this strategy because these are established, and easy to transfer strategies.
Also, we have discussed piggybacking our next P2 conference
with the April pretreatment/POTW meeting in
Partnering opportunities, increasing funding: Packaging it so it can go back to congress.
Measurement is key. Measurement tool that should be able to capture data by state, then by region, then national. This will allow us to get credit for the effectiveness of the work we are doing.
1. RCC - contact Mellisa Gayleon
Is also under goal 5, it covers most of the goals in our region.Congress gives money for Resource Conservation. Had $700,000 for contract money that is undergoing review. States and regions can apply. Sent e-mails to state contacts. Covers all hazardous and solid waste.
2. OSWER innovations grant program for universities and non-profits. Twice per year. Mary Kemp is the lead. Spring/Fall. State innovations environmental resource program (Baltimore, Mariland) automotive shops State Innovation.
Follow up: get exact dates from Melissa.
3. H2E under goal 4 of EPA strategic plan.
4. Regional Administrator/Regional Geographic Initiative a.k.a RA/RGI (discretionary funding) - Typically given out as grants. LCRA had a proposal under this initiative to host a symposium to reduce mercury. Ex. Mercury reduction in coal. Potential link between Louisiana/LCRA.
December - March
5. Performance Partnership Grant
RCRA for combustion, hazardous waste, enforcement
- State
- TCEQ partners with El Paso del Norte
– Line item for RCC
Every fiscal year. It should be coming out soon.
6. Dianne mentioned "State Innovations/Environmental Results program" - Primary for innovations in permitting, but wrapped in P2 and EJ. Contact "Reggie?"
7. PPG (Pollution Prevention Grant, but informally called PPIS)
476,000 per year
Coming out sometime between December and March
8. Set aside grants (aka Source Reduction Grants) – for non-profits/universities. Require at least 5% match. Get about $146,000
Come out Dec.-March about the same time as PPG.
- This money is "EPM money" it can get cut very quickly. It gets swept.
These need to go quickly, so they can't get awarded.
PBT – advertised nationally.
Air Toxics, P2 program, air toxics reduction projects. 665-6763. TRI, PBT for states.
Roundtable discussion:
Mercury is getting the most attention. Dianne suggested we think of other air toxics
Joy suggested that we have "projects in the box". Have a one page outline of potential projects, with a good title, and a one page explanation.
For Example:
Municipalities – pretreatment, intro into establishing a city
Ex. 2 – Indoor air quality for daycares.
Other Ideas:
SEP's – Supplemental Environmental Projects (Dr. Jerrold Carney) Chemicals inventory in the schools. Violating companies.
Small Scale Chemistry for Schools - P2,
Follow up: SEP's to Jerry Kotas with DOE has some good case studies of using SEP's to reduce energy usage.
Kinds of SEP's. Can be offered by agency or facilty.
Two ways to get a project funded by SEP
- Get the enforcement officer.
- Legal/Lawyers barriers.
- P2 and pollution reduction categories.
For instance MOP for SEP.
Follow up: Dianne, got the MOPP van funded under SEP. (Grace – Tamara got it funded) for metal finishers.
Southwest Network for Zero Waste

This presentation gave a summary of the Southwest Network for Zero Waste
World - Presentation by
This slide presentation was made
Grace provided an update of the P2 activities at TCEQ. Referred to website www.BorderP2.org
She explained the process of
The group is working with school kids educating them on energy conservation practices. There are several tools to save energy. Children get to understand that simple things like turning off the lights at home when not needed will conserve large amounts of energy.
Energy conservation service providers: The utility agrees to sponsor a school providing one facilitator from LCRA to conduct exercises in the classroom.
Also an investigation guide is available as a checklist to measure electricity consumption, and the powerhouse software for kids to use and learn about conservation.
Schools participate and get their own energy audits.
It is recognized that energy conservation and air pollution are always overlooked.
For any questions on the subject, visit the LCRA website.
Nurtured World,
TMAC, Hilario Gamez
In today's competitive business environment, initiatives must justify themselves economically. Six Sigma has become popular because it delivers measurable, tangible economic benefits. Quality improvement leads to reduced costs, better customer satisfaction and improved profitability. Using as an example a manufacturing company, Hilario explained how the break-even point for the operations of a company can be a powerful indicator to show top management that reducing defects in the process, not only reduces waste but significantly enhances the profitability of the organization while improving the environment.
Upcoming events:
· First star given to Natural Evelotion -
1. Follow up: Dianne will get case study with measurable results.
· Fiber reinforced plastics. NESHAAP coming up, opened up the door. Styrene NESHAAP giving them a problem.
· Get inventory manual
Audree is working to develop an ADEQ EMS. They are ranking aspects and impacts. Implementation plan due end of this month.
Working to develop a P2 stakeholder group. NRCS, wildlife Federation and Arkansas Development. Have not defined if it would be advisory, or taking on projects.
Audree does 75% of her time with P2, and she is helped by Allen Gilliam for some administration activities.
Expect to have a two year implementation schedule for the agency.
Working on a materials exchange website based on
Planning 3 H2E
Follow up: Needs help
with stakeholder group.
Bring in three speakers per year to raise awareness of P2 in the agency.
Allen Gilliam - Under the pretreatment program am pursuing the dental facilities with BMP's. Sent survey to local municipalities to find out what dentists are doing with amalgam.
Green Zia is looking at ways to make the program less cumbersome for small business.
Will be releasing two manuals for training tribal/pueblos. Had contributions from tribes/pueblos at eight meetings. Now they are an assistance call line.
Wanted to develop outreach materials
Also want to leverage the departments within their agency ("inreach").
Met with SBDC's and they will put info. In their packet for Green Zia.

2010 was the year of renewal and change for Nordic Innovation. We spent the year in close dialogue with our stakeholders to figure out the right strategy for the years ahead. Our board, management and staff contributed to this comprehensive strategy development. We also spent time figuring out our role in promoting innovation in the Nordic region, concluding that it is exactly promoting innovation that is our core business. The outcome is therefore a strategy for 2011-2014, placing emphasis on proactive innovation efforts, networking initiatives and competence sharing between the Nordic innovation actors. So far the feedback on our new strategic decisions for Nordic Innovation has shown that the choices we made were correct. The choices made in our new strategy were also in alignment with the new Nordic Co-operation Programme for Innovation and Business Policy 2011–2013. Both our strategy as well as the new co-operation program places emphasis on green growth and sustainable innovation as the key factor for successful development in the Nordic region in the coming years.
Along with the new strategy came also a simplification of our name, to better communicate our official role within the Nordic cooperation and that innovation is our primary task. By removing Centre from our name we hope to dismiss of all misunderstandings about what kind of institution we represent.
Last year we cooperated closely with the Danish presidency for Nordic council of ministers, and one of our common tasks was to launch the new globalizations initiative for climate friendly buildings.
2010 also marked the official start up of our Measured and Managed Innovation programme. After a small pilot we were happy to set aboard the full scale programme with 100 Nordic companies participating in a comprehensive programme that will help them further develop their innovation strategies. These businesses represent more than 160.000 employees, and a 20 Billion Euros turnover. Now in the beginning of 2011 we are starting to see results, and expect more in the coming year.

This study aims to investigate the safety and effectiveness of investigational drug (Piromelatine) for people diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's. The trial consists of a 28 week study to compare Piromelatine to placebo.
Qualified participants will be seen by a doctor and receive all study-related exams, care and medications at no cost. Compensation for travel is available.
The purpose of this research study is to determine an effective dose of piromelatine, based on results of safety and efficacy on participants with mild dementia due to Alzheimer's disease as compared to placebo.
If you are determined to be eligible, and agree to participate, you will be randomly assigned (like the flip of a coin) to receive one of three doses (5 mg, 20 mg, or 50 mg) of the investigational drug-piromelatine, or placebo. Study participants have a greater chance of receiving the investigational drug than placebo.
The study will take place over 28 weeks. Participants will have 5-6 visits to the study clinic and weekly telephone calls in between each visit. Each study visit will last approximately 2-3 hours. For each visit, participants will need to come with partner/caregiver who knows them well and can accompany them to clinic visits.
Throughout the study, doctors and the study staff will evaluate the health and progress of all study participants through various tests and assessments during the clinic visits and weekly phone calls. Some of these include, but are not limited to:
• Review of medical history (including past and current health, medications, or treatments)
• Physical exams
• Vital signs measurements
• Reviews of current medications
• Blood and urine sample collections
• Tests that measure mental skills and memory
