G1916, Revised November 1997
The great variety of pesticides used in America's agricultural production system presents varying degrees of hazard. These products were made to alter life cycles of living pest organisms, and many of these products are dangerous to people if not handled properly.
The purpose of this publication is to help pesticide applicators understand and appreciate potential dangers. If an applicator uses his or her own knowledge, common sense, and the information contained in this and the other publications referred to, he or she can apply pesticides safely and effectively.
Store pesticides in a locked and posted facility where children or other untrained people cannot get to them. Read the labels on pesticide containers for correct storage procedures. Select a storage site high enough that damage from flooding will be unlikely and downwind and downhill from sensitive areas such as houses, play areas and ponds. Pesticide storage facilities should also be located away from homes and livestock facilities to avoid or minimize contamination in case of fire.
Pesticide and expended pesticide containers are best stored in a separate building, room, or enclosure, depending on the size of the pesticide inventory. The storage area should be on the first floor to minimize contamination from a possible leaky container, and the storage area must keep the pesticides dry, cool and out of direct sunlight. The latter requirements are necessary because some pesticides are rendered useless if they become too hot or damp, if they freeze, or if they are exposed to ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
Sacks, cartons and fiberboard boxes containing pesticides should be stored on wooden pallets or on shelves off the floor. Securely lock all possible entrances to the storage area. Hang or mount weatherproof signs stating "Danger — Pesticides, Keep Out" or similar warnings over every entrance to the facility. An exhaust fan for ventilation should be used in storage rooms to reduce the temperature and high concentration of toxic fumes.
An adequate supply of water and detergent or soap is essential in the storage area. We recommend routine use of these cleaning agents by people who work with pesticides or pesticide-related materials or equipment. Also, water is a quick first aid in a poisoning emergency. Materials such as activated charcoal, vermiculite, absorbent clay, pet litter, ground corncobs or sawdust need to be readily available at the storage site to soak up spills and leaks. Hydrated lime and sodium hypochlorite (chlorinated household bleach) can be used to neutralize pesticides in an emergency. A shovel, dust pan, broom, and proper type of fire extinguisher are other essential items.
Do not store pesticides near food for human consumption, animal feed, fertilizer, seed, veterinary supplies, or other stored products. To prevent contamination or to avoid accidentally using the wrong pesticide, store different pesticides in separate locations within the storage area.
Store pesticides only in the original container, with the label plainly visible. Never store pesticides in anything used as a food or drink container, even for a short time. Storage of pesticides in such containers is a common cause of accidental poisoning.
Never provide pesticides to anyone unless that person has been properly trained or licensed. Also, make sure that the entire manufacturer's label appears on the container.
If a pesticide container becomes damaged, transfer its contents to an appropriate container. Label the new container immediately. If possible, attach the manufacturer's label from the damaged container directly to the new pesticide storage container. If you cannot salvage the old label, write the exact contents directly on the container or on a tag attached to the container.
Contact regional MU Extension specialists in your area for proper application techniques of repackaged pesticides if such information is not available. Unlabeled pesticides are worthless and dangerous, since the applicator doesn't know what they are or how to use them. They should be treated as surplus pesticides and be properly disposed of.
Before a spraying operation is started, rinse out the sprayer; remove and clean all nozzles, nozzle screens and strainers. Make sure strainers and nozzle screens are 50 mesh or larger when wettable powders are used. All of the nozzles should be of the same type, size and fan angle for most applications. Check all lines, valves, seals and the tank after filling the sprayer with water and during calibration to be sure there are no leaks in the spray system. For the operator's safety, replace weather-cracked or worn hoses. Adjust the nozzle height and spacing as suggested by the nozzle manufacturer or as specified on the pesticide label. These requirements differ for a given pest or crop.
Only water that is clean enough to drink should be used in the sprayer. A small amount of silt or sand in the water rapidly wears pumps and other parts of the sprayer system.
Operating a pump dry or with a restricted inlet may damage the pump. Do not operate pumps at speeds or pressures higher than the manufacturer recommends. Power take-off pumps should be restrained from rotating by chains or torque bars. Keep all shields in place. Do not use ground speeds that are too high for existing field conditions. Booms bouncing up and down or back and forth can cause application rates to vary by 50 percent. Also, such bouncing can damage the spray booms or the frame of the sprayer.
Take precautions to avoid exposure when wettable powders, dust or granules are added to the sprayer tank. When you add materials to the sprayer tank, air is forced out and carries some of the pesticide particles with it. If the solvent in the pesticide is toxic or flammable (or both), be sure the mixing operation is performed in an area where ventilation is adequate. The addition of small amounts of materials such as emulsifiers or thickeners will drastically alter the physical properties of the spray solution. Therefore, the applicator should check the pesticide label to be sure she or he is operating according to label instructions.
Many types of solvents, some of which are chlorinated, are used in the pesticide formulation processes. Vapors of chlorinated solvents are very dangerous to breathe. They can cause a "high," dizziness, or even unconsciousness. They also can cause permanent damage to the kidney, liver, and nervous system in workers exposed to the vapors for a prolonged time.
The skin on various body parts does not absorb pesticides at the same rate. Figure 1 shows dermal absorption rates based on a numerical scale in which the value of 1 for the forearm represents the lowest dermal absorption rate. That value forms the basis for assignment of values to the other body parts.
Always be aware of the meteorological conditions existing during pesticide application. Loss of spray from a treated area increases during high winds or low humidity. In Missouri, low wind and high humidity conditions are most prevalent before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m.
Avoid spraying near beehives, lakes, streams, pastures, houses, schools, playgrounds, hospitals or sensitive crops whenever possible. If these areas must be sprayed, do not spray during windy or low humidity conditions and always spray downwind from the sensitive area.
If possible, begin spraying in the end of the field that will permit any drift from the sprayer to be blown away from the next area to be treated. Likewise with airblast sprayers; direct the air blast from the sprayer with the prevailing wind and away from the next area to be treated. These two procedures will minimize the amount of pesticide that will be blown onto the operator. Remember, these are only guidelines and are intended to supplement the good judgment of the pesticide operator.
To minimize drift hazards, use the lowest pressure possible, the lowest boom height and the largest spray tips, and add thickeners (if the pesticide label permits) in areas where drift is likely to be particularly hazardous.
Be alert for nozzle clogging and changes in nozzle patterns. If nozzles clog or other troubles occur in the field, shut the sprayer off and move to an unsprayed area before dismounting from the sprayer to work on it. If nozzles must be cleaned in the field, use a toothbrush or a toothpick for cleaning — never a metal object. A metal object can damage the orifice in the spray tip and significantly alter the spray pattern. We recommend carrying extra spray tips on the sprayer so that plugged tips can be replaced with clean ones. Never try to unclog a nozzle by blowing through it.
Check the pesticide label for re-entry and preharvest intervals. The re-entry interval is the elapsed time after a pesticide application before workers can safely re-enter a field. The preharvest interval is the elapsed time between a pesticide application and harvest of the crop.
Trained personnel should thoroughly clean the inside and outside of mixing, loading, and application equipment immediately after use. People who clean contaminated equipment should wear proper protective clothing, including rubber boots, a rubber apron, goggles, and possibly a respirator. A specific area should be designated for cleaning operations. Use a rack or cement apron with a well-designed sump to catch contaminated wash water and pesticides. The cleanup process is important because many chemicals will rapidly corrode some metals and may also react with succeeding chemicals, thus possibly causing a loss of effectiveness.
To clean a sprayer, mix about two pounds of detergent per 40 gallons of water in the tank. Circulate this mixture throughout the bypass or agitator nozzles for 30 minutes and then drain, allowing some solution to pass through the booms or nozzles. If phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T, or brush killer were used in the sprayer, rinse with an ammonia or charcoal solution.
To make an ammonia rinse, fill the tank one-third to one-half full and add two quarts of household ammonia per 25 gallons of water. Circulate the solution and allow a small amount to flow through the nozzles. Allow the remaining solution to stand overnight to neutralize any herbicide remaining in the equipment. Then pump the solution through the nozzles. After rinsing with detergent or ammonia, flush thoroughly with clean water.
When the sprayer is to be stored for a prolonged time, add one to five gallons of lightweight oil (about one gallon of oil per 40 gallons of water) before the final flushing. As the water is pumped from the sprayer, the oil will leave a protective coating on the inside of the tank, pump and plumbing.
To prevent corrosion, remove nozzle tips and screens and store them in a can of light oil, such as diesel fuel or kerosene. Close the nozzle openings with blanks to keep dirt or insects from entering the spray boom. Be sure the pump is drained thoroughly to prevent freezing. Add a small amount of oil and rotate the pump four or five revolutions by hand to completely coat the interior surfaces.
Follow directions in the owner's manual regarding the proper procedures for storing engine-equipped sprayers. Before storing the sprayer, all lines, hoses, valves and the pump should be inspected for damaged parts or leaks. Damaged parts should be replaced before the sprayer is stored.
To avoid having to dispose of a tank load of the wrong pesticide, check out the job carefully before selecting the pesticide. After you have selected the proper pesticide, mix only enough for the particular job. Preventing a pesticide surplus is the best way to prevent a disposal problem.
Despite your best efforts, however, you cannot always avoid surplus pesticides, and you must take steps to dispose of them properly.
If you mix too much pesticide for a job, try to find other areas with the same pest problem and use any extra tank mix or rinse water on these areas. In some cases, small amounts of surplus pesticide can be diluted and reapplied to the treated area. Take extreme care to prevent excessive residues, especially with herbicides, by making sure that the total application rate does not exceed the maximum rate for which the pesticide is labeled.
To dispose of large quantities of pesticide, contact your local MU Extension center or the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for assistance in properly disposing of excess pesticides in an environmentally safe manner.
So-called empty pesticide containers are not really empty. They still contain small amounts of pesticides, even after they have been properly rinsed. All containers, regardless of their type, should be rinsed three times before disposal. The rinse water should be dumped into the sprayer tank. Otherwise, the rinse water must be treated as a surplus pesticide and disposed of properly. Rinse water should never be dumped on the ground. Use the following rinse-and-drain procedure to prepare containers for disposal:
Rinsed containers should not be used for any other purposes except where the label allows the container to be reused or recycled.
Disposal of any pesticide container or pesticide-related waste by open dumping or open burning is illegal. Although empty containers that have been properly cleaned can legally be placed in a sanitary landfill, recycling in one of the container recycling programs is the preferred method of disposal. The Missouri Solid Waste Management Law and rules prohibit dumping or burying of waste such as empty containers on one's property. For assistance in disposing of rinsed containers, contact the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Hazardous Waste Program.
Pesticide containers that are not empty cannot be accepted at a sanitary landfill. Some of these waste pesticides are classified as hazardous waste and must be managed according to the Missouri Hazardous Waste Management Law and rules. For specific information on these requirements, contact :
Should an accidental spill occur, follow these easy steps to clean up the spilled pesticide safely:
To help prevent exposure during cleanup, workers should wear the appropriate personal protective equipment. To help prevent exposure in the future, cleanup work clothes and personal protective equipment should be cleaned before work resumes. Finally, take corrective measures to help ensure that another pesticide spill will not occur.

A contribution from Wei Ma, H. -Y. Chan, Yick Chuen Chan, Chun Cheong Wong, Francis Chee Shuen Lee from ASTRI in HongKong.
This micro-mechanical scanning mirror has drawn wide attention recently as its combination with diode light sources (e.g., laser diodes) provides a promising solution for mini image projectors, which can be integrated in portable electronics. The combination of a large scanning angle at a high resonant frequency but low actuation power is essential for this application.

Synergistic Activities:
- Development of analogical encoding techniques as a new method of instruction that multiplies the value of case-based training. Our research shows that techniques in which learners are encouraged to compare and align two analogous lead to better transfer, better retrieval of past relevant experiences, and better ability to notice relevant differences than learning on a case-by-case basis.
- The two recently coedited books – The analogical mind (2001) and Language in mind (2003) – are having an impact on the field of cognition and learning.

EA announced Thursday that its FIFA franchise has sold over 100 million units since its introduction 18 years ago. Much of the thanks is due to its latest release of FIFA Soccer 11, so widely popular that it sold over 2.6 million copies its first week on the market and has gone on to be the fastest selling sports videogame in history. FIFA Soccer 11 has some pretty prestigious company to keep, and resides among Mario, Pokemon, Tetris, The Sims, and Need for Speed.
With everyone still recovering from World Cup fever and soccer's global popularity, it shouldn't come as an enormous surprise that FIFA has far outsold EA Sport's other videogame franchises.
In a press release, vice president of football for EA Sports (his real title), Matt Bilbey thanked fans, saying, "Few videogame franchises ever reach the 100 million units mark and we have millions of fans around the world to thank for helping us to this milstone."
EA also announced the release of the FIFA 11 Ultimate Team DLC pack, available today for free to Xbox 360 and PS3 users.
So what game will be next to join the club? Final Fantasy is edging closer with 97 million units sold.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- Kevin Gausman's spring training locker sits along a row next to Orioles veteran pitchers Darren O'Day, Jim Johnson and Jason Hammel.
That placement is strategic – manager Buck Showalter gives a sly grin when asked about it – just like 19-year-old left-handed pitching prospect Eduardo Rodriguez's locker being next to pitchers Miguel Gonzalez and Pedro Strop.
The plan is for first-time big league campers like Gausman and Rodriguez, two of the Orioles top three pitching prospects, to learn what life is like in the big leagues by example.
"You get to pick their friends initially," Showalter said. "It's not what they're going to do or say. The example is going to be right there."
Gausman said he's trying to soak it all up. He threw 18 professional innings last season after the Orioles made him their first-round pick last June, but it takes time to get adjusted to the pace of professional baseball. In college, his focus was geared toward starting every Friday. Here, it's a little different.
"All the veteran guys have been really cool," said Gausman, who this time last year was preparing for his sophomore season at LSU. "They're really supportive. I've met everyone here. It's kind of cool. You can tell they have a tight-knit bond here. Most of them are younger players and I think that explains why they're so close. They're a fun group and I like that. I like to joke around. But they get after it."
O'Day, the sidearm reliever who is one of the clubhouse's jokesters, has already given Gausman the nickname "Dunkin'" because of how Gausman would eat powered mini-donuts between innings when he pitched.
Over the first two days of camp, Gonzalez and Strop, two Latin pitchers who have overcome their share of obstacles to become key major league arms, were often seen with Rodriguez -- a Venezuelan-born prospect -- in and outside of the clubhouse.
Last spring training, top pitching prospect Dylan Bundy's locker was placed near the likes of Jake Arrieta, Zach Britton and Brian Matusz. He has a similar spot this spring.
Gausman and Rodriguez threw their first bullpen sessions of the spring on Thursday side by side on the in the final group of pitchers.
When Showalter was asked his first impressions of Gausman and Rodriguez, he said he purposely didn't pay too much attention, leaving pitching coach Rick Adair to evaluate.
"I kind of purposely kept my distance from it," Showalter said. "I'm probably not a good evaluator. Rick said it went well."
Instead, he'd rather let the young pitchers learn from the examples they see in the Orioles clubhouse.

Read Review
Stockholm's detective extraordinaire, Joona Linna, is back in this sequel to the best-selling first novel The Hypnotist. Joona is invited to join Sweden's elite-of-elite crime-solving team called "The Commission" as its sixth member. This small group of investigators are "...responsible for combating serious crime at both the national and international level...." Joona declines the prestigious offer since they mandate a regimented procedure for investigating crimes. Variations to the theme are not welcomed.
Joona is the modern-day combination of a Swedish Sherlock Holmes and action star Chuck Norris. He basically has free reign over what cases he gets involved in and what means he uses to solve them. The nice part is that he is not pretentious or self-centered. He is just uncannily always right.
The Nightmare has Joona investigating several murders whose connection is apparent, at first, only to him. A renowned pacifist and her lover are on the run from a robotic-like professional killer. The assassin is searching for a photo that would compromise a major arms deal if released to the public. The person who has ordered the killings has an unusual way of conducting business. Contracts are never signed. What he requires, in order to complete all business transactions with his future partners, is their willingness to share their worst nightmare.
Alexander Ahndoril and his wife Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril write under the pseudonym Lars Kepler. These Swedish authors had a breakaway best-seller last year with The Hypnotist. The film version's release date is set for September in Sweden. The movie is about "a detective who pairs himself with a famous psychologist on a case involving a traumatized young witness to a crime."

As the school year comes to a close and summer at Middlebury begins, a small group of students have begun working at the Admissions Office for the summer and I'm one of the newest ones! I'm a summer intern working at Admissions for the next few months and I gave my first tours today!
It's usually prospective students who are nervous about coming up to see us, but oddly enough it was actually me who was nervous today. I had never given a tour before and there were so many people visiting that my nervousness just kept growing.
All my fears came to an end when I began my tour and saw that everyone was having a great time! It was an almost sunny day and the tourees definitely enjoyed that, plus they got to see all the Senior Week hub that's taking place right now. They asked tons of questions, which made it great because interaction between the tour guide and the visitors makes the tour so much better and I think I hit all the main points of what makes Middlebury so great! Granted, walking backwards for the first time for an hour on a sprained ankle was no cake walk (see what I did there?) but my group made it very easy. I hope my visitors enjoyed being on the tour as much as I enjoyed giving it and here's to more tours to come! (meaning you should come visit us so that I can give more tours!)

Update: it happened again today. Here's the ad, and here's the "proof" it's coming from Word (when you long-press the notification and tap 'i').
It's been a bit of a running theme lately: advertising in (mobile) operating systems. Today, I was surprised by what I consider a new low, involving incompetence on both Microsoft's and Google's end. This new low has been eating away at me all day.
Let's give a bit of background first. On my smartphone, a Nexus 6P, I have Word, Excel, and PowerPoint installed. I have these installed for my work - I run my translation company, and when new work comes in through e-mail when I'm out and about, I like being able to quickly look at a document before accepting it. Microsoft Office for Android fulfills this role for me. This means I don't actually use them very often - maybe a few times a week.
Imagine my surprise, then, when this happened. Yes, I'm linking to the full screenshot in its full, glorious, Nexus 6P 1440x2560 brilliance.
I have a few questions. First, why is Microsoft sending me an advertisement in my notification tray? Second, why is Word sending me an advertisement for Excel? Third, why is this allowed by Google, even though the Play Store rules prohibit it? Fourth A, why is Microsoft sending me advertisements for products I already have installed? Fourth B, why is Microsoft sending me advertisements for products I already use? Fourth C, why is Microsoft sending me advertisements for products I already pay for because I have an Office 365 subscription? Fifth, who in their right mind at Microsoft thought this was not a 100%, utterly, completely, deeply, ridiculously, unequivocally, endlessly, exquisitely invasive, stupid, aggravating, off-putting, infuriating, and pointless thing to do?
I know both Android and iOS suffer from scummy applications abusing the notification tray for advertising, and I know both Google and Apple have rules that prohibit this that they do not enforce, but I didn't think I'd run into it because... Well, I use only proper, honest applications, right? I don't use the scummy ones? I pay for my applications?
I think it's time to start enforcing these rules.
Oh, and Microsoft? I haven't forgotten about BeOS. It's not like you have a lot of goodwill to mess around with here.

The Carthage College football team (3-7, 1-6 College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin) completed its 2012 season on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 10 with a 55-13 loss to CCIW-opponent Millikin University (5-5, 2-5 CCIW) at Frank M. Lindsay Field in Decatur, Ill. The Red Men ended the season on a six-game losing streak after defeating North Park University, 31-6, on Sept. 29.
Millikin took a 7-0 lead on the second play of its first drive. A 37-yard pass from Matt Holmes to Jake Palmer plus a 15-yard sideline interference call put the ball on the Carthage 23-yard line. Two plays later, Sean Dunning carried for a 15-yard touchdown at 14:14. The Red Men went four-and-out on their next possession, and Millikin struck again with a six-play, 96-yard scoring drive that ended with a 28-yard touchdown pass from Holmes and Brady Cudaude at 9:56. A 53-yard field goal by Brett Bukari (Jr., Bloomfield Hills, Mich./Detroit Country Day) at 6:47 got Carthage on the scoreboard but trailing, 14-3. Bukari's kick set a Carthage record, breaking a mark set by Tyler Funk against Concordia University (Wis.) in 2009 and equaled by Funk against both Wheaton College (Ill.) and North Park University later the same season.
Bukari connected on a 36-yard field goal at 2:48 to make it a 14-6 game. A 52-yard run by the Big Blue's Tyler Roush to open the second quarter set up a five-yard touchdown pass from Holmes to Erik Tobey, and Millikin led, 21-6, at 14:04. The Big Blue upped their lead to 27-6 at 7:50 second period on a 60-yard reverse from wide receiver Erik Tobey to quarterback Matt Holmes. A 60-yard kickoff return by Pete Djurickovic, coupled with a 15-yard Millikin personal foul, set up a 21-yard scoring strike from Carthage quarterback A.J. Simoncelli to Nick Gremley at 6:21 to cut the lead to 27-13. The Big Blue increased their lead to 30-13 at halftime on a 32-yard field goal by Austin Brettschneider at 2:32.
A 21-yard scoring pass from Holmes to Tobey at 10:26 third quarter put Millikin up, 36-13. The margin went 42-13 at 5:39 third period on another TD pass from Holmes to Tobey. The Big Blue added two final touchdowns in the fourth period. Darrell Mitchell scored at 13:27 on a 20-yard interception return, and Holmes completed his fifth touchdown pass of the game with a 14-yard strike to Jake Palmer with 8:57 to play.
Millikin rolled up 588 total offensive yards, 253 rushing and 335 passing, while Carthage managed just 190 total yards, 108 on the ground and 82 in the air. The Big Blue had a whopping edge in first downs, 32-11, although the time-of-possession was nearly even with Millikin claiming a 31:53 to 28:07 margin. Big Blue quarterback Matt Holmes had a big day, completing 23-of-38 passes for 275 yards and five touchdowns, while also running for 72 yards on 15 carries. Sean Dunning rushed for 73 yards on 18 carries, and Erik Tobey caught 14 passes for 143 yards. Carthage quarterback A.J. Simoncelli (Fr., Downers Grove, Ill./South) completed 12-of-35 passes for 71 yards, with Reggie Miller (Jr., Downers Grove, Ill./South) catching six for 33 yards and running for 67 yards on 15 carries. Middle linebacker Brad Kaput (Sr., Plainfield, Ill./South) had a game-high 11 tackles, including seven solos.

Last Chance: Paul Wackers
@ Eleanor Harwood
february 16 - march 15, 2008
Paul Wackers' second solo show at Eleanor Harwood is titled "stand still like the hummingbird."
the show shares its title with a book of essay's by Henry Miller. i haven't read it (maybe you have?) i did find this excerpt from the preface on the web: "...when you are convinced that all the exits are blocked, either you take to believing in miracles or you stand still like the hummingbird. The miracle is that the honey is always there, right under your nose, only you were too busy searching elsewhere to realize it. The worst is not death but being blind, blind to the fact that everything about life is in the nature of the miraculous."
the show includes a lot of nice work, including "sculpture"
and "still life"
the gallery has all of the work here. better yet, get to Eleanor Harwood (alabama @ 25th) by march 15 and check it out in person before the show closes.
you can see my blog of his 2006 show here.

A Facebook desktop application has long-been rumored, and now it's here. Without much fanfare at all, you can now keep tabs on your notifications, friend requests, ticker, and chat all without opening your browser.
TechIT and The Verge originally revealed the available download, which you can access here.
There's been speculation as to when Facebook would offer such an application, and what it would do, and it appears that it's about as basic as it gets. Messenger for Windows basically brings the right-hand side of your Facebook home page to your desktop. Of course it does have a few implications, namely the death of competitor messaging systems. The likes of AIM and Yahoo Messenger have been struggling to compete with integrated offerings from social platforms, and Facebooks Messenger app has been a major threat to market veterans.
The one feature we wish were available would be the viewing and commenting controls that you have when you're visiting Facebook in-browser. Via Messenger, the ticker won't actually reveal the items it's announcing: instead, you're redirected to the site. Included items like listening in with friends or viewing pictures via the desktop app would be a huge improvement.
But as far as its utilitarian purposes goes, Messenger does well. And it's also got us waiting for a more fully-fledged desktop Facebook experience.

Wood Boiler, Medical Measuring Device, Biochemical Breakthrough: 2010 Undergraduate Expo Winners Named
By Jennifer Donovan | Published
The Consumer Product Manufacturing Enterprise took first place and a $300 prize in the Enterprise category at the 2010 Undergraduate Research Expo at Michigan Tech last Thursday. They designed a more efficient, lower-emission wood boiler for small business and residential users.
CPM students plan to investigate the patentability of their new wood-boiler configuration, construct a prototype and analyze the potential financial benefits to the consumer, said advisor Tony Rogers, an associate professor of chemical engineering. A local business is showing "significant interest" in the project, Rogers added.
First place in the Senior Design category went to a team of biomedical engineering students including Danielle Aerts, Jon Congdon, Katie Elicerio, Matt Johnson and Justine Wiles. They won $150 for designing an instrument that can measure the time it takes to refill a capillary bed after the blood has been depleted, useful in measuring the dehydration level of a patient.
Robert Danish of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio hopes to use the instrument to more accurately assess dehydration levels in pediatric patients with diabetes, said Michael Neuman, chair of biomedical engineering and advisor to the Senior Design team.
Placing first in Undergraduate Research was an organic chemistry project that found a way to use water as a solvent to prepare a previously difficult-to-obtain molecule that is essential to creating polyamines, which are widely used as chemical linkers in many areas of chemistry.
Student researchers, who won $100 for their poster presentation, were Kyrie Pappas (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) and Xiang Zhang (Organic Chemistry). Their advisor was Assistant Professor of Chemistry Shiyue Fang.
More than 400 teams participated in the 10th annual Undergraduate Research Expo.

Efforts to stop ecological damage from new hydropower projects must continue
Posted on 20 March 2014
World Water Day 2014 in the Green Heart of EuropeVienna – Unsustainable small hydropower has serious effects in the Danube River Basin, WWF warned in the eve of World Water Day - 22 March whose main message this year focuses on the links and interdependence between water and energy. Hydropower impacts the environment on adjacent wetlands, the biodiversity in the rivers and the levels of sediment.
Last year the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) adopted guidelines for reducing the ecological damage of new hydropower projects. The guidelines will also be taken into consideration for the 2nd Danube River Basin Management Plan which is currently being developed until the end of 2015.
"WWF and other NGOs had to fight hard over the past years to make these guidelines acceptable", said Irene Lucius, Head of Policy at WWF Danube-Carpathian Program. "Our rivers have suffered enough from hydropower plants built in ecologically vulnerable places and/or with outdated technology. Danube basin countries cannot afford repeating the mistakes of the past - healthy rivers systems provide a long list of services to people such as the provision of drinking water or lowering flood risk".
The document recommends sensitive river sections - such as protected areas, stretches of high ecological status or headwater – to be kept free of hydropower development. It also promotes proper planning at national and regional level in other sections of rivers (beside exclusion) and in this context an adequate consideration of ecological and cultural values. The guidance furthermore suggests that hydropower plants must lower the damage to fish populations and other freshwater organisms as far as possible and explains how this can be achieved.
However, the biggest challenge lies ahead. "The guiding principles will mean nothing if they won´t be applied quickly and comprehensively for preventing irreversible damage by the tide of new hydropower projects", added Irene Lucius. "In particular, we expect Danube basin countries with NGO involvement to designate new "no go" areas for hydropower and to take natural and cultural values of our rivers sufficiently into account when planning new projects."
After WWF's "Mountain rivers: the last chance" campaign in the end of 2013 Romania became the first country to accept the recommendations of ICPDR. By the end of May 2014 the government will adopt a bill to designate exclusion zones and later will develop a mechanism for pre-planning.
WWF had been advocating against the construction and operation of small hydropower plants in protected areas and in rivers with good and very good ecological status without strategic planning and appropriate environmental assessment. A petition to the Minister for Water, Forests and Fisheries was signed by more than 20,000 Romanians.
In Ukraine, WWF and a local NGO coalition persuaded the regional government of Ivano-Frankivsk to stop construction of small hydropower plants on the province's mountain rivers. In Bulgaria, a similar river campaign will start this spring.

Super 50 Drive-In
1149 Saratoga Road,
Ballston Lake,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Recent comments (view all 2 comments)
Cinerama Windjammer in Cinemiracle played for three weeks starting on July 6th, 1960. The other Cinerama drive-in was in Inglewood CA's Century Drive-In. Also uploaded its grand opening ad and aerial photo in the photo section for this cinema.
Super 50 Drive in was twinned somewhere along its history. The land now houses a storage facility and I believe a hardware store, the hardware store was built as a discount beverage center which later closed down, most likely because the are the Drive-In was located is still rural. They named the road going into the storage area Super 50 Way. I have pictures somewhere of the lot and consession stand which was all that was left when I visited the sight in the late 1990's. When I locate them I will scan them and upload them. This drive-In had a plaground one of the photo's I took was of a swing, it looked kind of like a horse with grips on either side of the head, I remember similar ones at the Vail Mills D-I in Broadalbin.

This article is a collaboration between MedPage Today® and:
Automated phone reminders followed by letters to patients who did not fill new prescriptions for statin drugs appeared to increase compliance, results of a randomized trial showed.
Among 5,216 patients in the Kaiser Permanente system who failed to fill new statin prescriptions within 1-2 weeks, the drugs were eventually dispensed to 42.3% of those assigned to receive the phone calls and letters, compared with 26% of those receiving no post-prescription outreach (P<0.001), according to Stephen F. Derose, MD, MS, of Kaiser's Southern California office in Pasadena, Calif., and colleagues.
Subsequent refill rates for patients who filled their initial prescriptions were virtually identical in both groups (35.1% in the intervention group versus 35.5% among controls), the researchers reported online in Archives of Internal Medicine.
"This method of population outreach using automated messaging to decrease primary medication nonadherence for a commonly prescribed cholesterol-lowering drug was highly successful," Derose and colleagues concluded.
"The suitability for outreach to large populations makes this an attractive strategy to help reduce the numbers of patients with primary nonadherence" -- that is, those who don't fill their initial drug prescriptions -- "and better target those who remain nonadherent with complementary, more resource-intensive programs," they added.
But in an accompanying commentary, Michael A. Fischer, MD, MS, of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, argued that the intervention's success was modest at best.
"The 16% increase in primary adherence represents an impressive finding, but even with this success, 58% of patients in the intervention group still did not fill their initial statin prescription," he wrote.
"Furthermore, most patients did not refill their statin prescriptions after the initial prescription, revealing the difficulty of achieving sustained improvement in medication adherence."
Fischer suggested that "any given approach will only be able to solve part of the [nonadherence] problem post hoc," meaning that additional tactics need to be developed.
"The next innovations will likely come in the form of prospective tools to assess patients' plans for primary adherence and development of interventions that address individual patients' concerns at the point of prescribing," Fischer wrote.
In the trial, Derose and colleagues looked for patients told to start on statin medications who then did not fill their prescriptions after 1-2 weeks.
Over a 10-week period, the researchers were able to randomize 2,606 to the intervention and 2,610 into the control group. These were out of about 17,000 patients given new statin prescriptions during the period, of whom 65% filled their prescriptions quickly.
The intervention consisted of a phone call asking the patient "to retrieve a personalized message from the health plan," Derose and colleagues explained, which reminded the patient that a statin had been prescribed and described the importance of taking the drug.
When calls went to voicemail, a message was left with a toll-free number to call to retrieve the message. Two more call attempts were made when the automated system detected a busy signal.
Patients in the intervention who still didn't fill the prescription after receiving the phone call or voicemail message were then sent a letter, which reiterated the need to take the medications as prescribed.
The control group was left on its own after the prescription was written, with no reminders or other contact related to filling it.
The primary outcome was prescription fills within 32-39 days of when the prescription was issued. In the case of the intervention group, this was estimated to be 2 weeks after the letter should have been delivered. Patients in the Kaiser Permanente system receive their medications from the health plan, making it unlikely that they filled the prescriptions without the investigators' knowledge.
Expressed as the relative risk for meeting this endpoint, the intervention boosted primary adherence by 63% (RR 1.63, 95% CI 1.50 to 1.76). Changing the time frame for judging whether a prescription was filled to 1 week earlier or 1 week later than in the primary analysis made little difference, Derose and colleagues indicated.
Patients in their 50s responded somewhat better to the intervention than other age groups (P=0.045), but eventual fill rates were significantly better with the intervention relative to control irrespective of age.
Also, having Spanish as the patient's primary language was a significant predictor of adherence regardless of assignment in the trial (odds ratio 1.32, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.65, relative to primarily English-speakers).
Kaiser plans that included a drug benefit also boosted adherence (OR 10.05, 95% CI 6.85 to 14.75, relative to plans without a drug benefit).
Derose and colleagues noted that the intervention was relatively cheap, amounting to about $1.70 per patient.
Limitations to the study included its restriction to patients in the Kaiser Permanente Southern California region, and its use of a definition of primary nonadherence that was somewhat arbitrary and might have influenced the results.
The study was supported by Merck.
Two study co-authors were Merck employees. Other authors and Fischer reported no relevant financial interests.

Wales Rugby
Lydiate could return for Six Nations

Dan Lydiate could return in time for Wales' Six Nations campaign after it was confirmed that his ankle injury is not as bad as first feared.
The 24-year-old suffered the injury less than two minutes into the Dragons' 32-12 win over Edinburgh on Friday night and the original fear was that he had broken and dislocated his left ankle.
However, X-rays at Newport's Royal Gwent Hospital found Lydiate did not suffer a dislocation, although he did break a bone in his ankle and will have an operation on Suday at the city's private St Joseph's Hospital.
Lydiate - who was the Player of the Championship in this year's Six Nations as Wales won the Grand Slam - could be back in action in four months, giving him the chance of playing in the latter stages of the Six Nations.
It is also a major boost to his ambitions of touring Australia with the British & Irish Lions next summer with the promise of plenty of time to hit top forma and fitness ahead of Lions selection. However, his confirmed absence for Wales' autumn internationals against Argentina, Samoa, New Zealand and Australia, is still a severe setback for the Six Nations champions.

In a back-and-forth filled soccer match, the West Craven Eagles edged the Havelock Rams 3-2, thanks to two goals from a chief import.
HAVELOCK � In a back-and-forth filled soccer match, the West Craven Eagles edged the Havelock Rams 3-2, thanks to two goals from a chief import.
Swedish foreign-exchange student, Johannes Lindgren-Ingman delivered one goal in the first half for the Eagles� first lead of 1-0, then the game-winner with 3:53 on the clock.
�It was on a throw in and I saw the ball bounce off one of their guys� back and I just kicked it in,� Lindgren-Ingman said.
The game was tied 1-1 at halftime, off Lindgren-Ingman�s first goal and a header from Havelock star Noah Kemble.
Havelock�s Spanish foreign-exchange student Miguel Diaz-Maurino headed the ball into the net early in the second half to give the Rams a 2-1 advantage.
Hunter Games answered with a goal at the 19:06 mark, setting up Lindgren-Ingman�s clincher.
�I think we just were able to keep our composure and not hit the panic button when they took the lead early in the second half,� West Craven coach Aaron Steele said.
�It has always been a down-to-the-wire game with Havelock whenever we play Havelock and we had to step up. This win was huge for us because we needed to get out of a rut we had been in and get some of our respect back.�
The Eagles improve to 2-4 overall and 1-2 in the loaded Coastal Conference, while Havelock falls to 2-6-2 overall and 0-3 in the conference.
�I really don�t know what happened to us tonight,� Havelock coach Jeremiah Johnson said. �West Craven stepped up and they were hungrier. We just need to keep playing to our level and not to the level of our competition.�
Havelock hosts White Oak Tuesday, while the Eagles host Richlands.
West Craven 1 2 - 3
Havelock 1 1 � 2
Goals: West Craven � Johannes Lindgren-Ingman (2), Hunter Games. Havelock � Noah Kemble, Miguel Diaz-Maurino.

text: A childhood spent singing with the New York's Metropolitan Opera and appearing on "As The World Turns" prepared Emmy Rossum, who was raised by a single photographer mom and attended the prestigious Spence School, for her blockbuster big-screen break in "The Phantom Of The Opera" in 2004. She was handpicked by Andrew Lloyd Webber when she was 16 and the smart casting wound up earning her a Golden Globe nod. Previously, she'd been recognized with a Spirit Award nomination for her work as an Appalachian orphan in the 2000 indie "Songcatcher" and acted opposite heavies in Clint Eastwood's "Mystic River" in 2003. Her "Phantom" cred paved the way for her to release two albums — Inside Out in 2006 and a standards CD called Sentimental Journey. She has been playing against demure type as the often nude and foul-mouthed Fiona Gallagher on Showtime's "Shameless" since 2011. The once-married (to a music industry executive) Rossum, who also dated Counting Crows' Adam Duritz, has been romantically linked with Tyler Jacob Moore who plays a cop on the show.

MIDDLEBORO — Everyone is invited to enjoy the Solstice Singers on Saturday, Jan. 5 in the candlelit sanctuary of the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Middleboro, located at 25 South Main St.
MIDDLEBORO — Everyone is invited to enjoy the Solstice Singers on Saturday, Jan. 5 in the candlelit sanctuary of the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Middleboro, located at 25 South Main St.
The show "To Drive the Cold Winter Away" begins at 4, followed by hearty soups, baskets of breads and platters of desserts in the festive Parish Hall. The suggested donation for the show and supper is $25 and $20 for students and seniors. This is a family show appropriate for children ages 7 and older, and the family rate is $40 which covers 2 adults and the children. Child care for younger children is available upon request. For more information and reservations, call the church at 508-947-1935. The snow date is Sunday, Jan. 6.
The Solstice Singers, under the direction of Lore Loftfield De Bower, is a Falmouth-based singing ensemble celebrating its 20th anniversary this season. The Middleboro performance will include some members of the children's chorus Les Enfants de Soleil, along with members from the renowned early music instrumental ensemble Passacaglia.
The program features Renaissance and Medieval music, song, dance, and poetry, including such favorites as the Boar's Head Carol, Lord of the Dance, Sicut Cervus, and Coventry Carol. Romance, tongue-in-cheek fun, grief and sorrow (perhaps mock), and a bit of sweet and boisterous praise are all represented, reflecting the reverence and revelry of the season. The ensemble performs in colorful, authentic costume complementing rich harmonies to capture a sense of joy and wonder.
Middleboro Unitarian Universalist members Susan and Dan Hotchkiss perform in this group.
"As the dark lingers, and the holidays fade, come and enjoy a festive evening with friends and neighbors," said a spokesperson. The music and food will feed your soul and help to drive the cold winter away."

Looking back at Sunday's motor-racing action, including NASCAR's Chase for the Cup in New Hampshire and NHRA drag-racing in Texas, five things come to mind:
1. Jimmie Johnson is lurking. Yes, teammates Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch of Joe Gibbs Racing again grabbed the headlines in the Chase title playoff, with Kenseth winning and Busch placing second for the second consecutive week. But they should be looking over their shoulders. Johnson, seeking his sixth championship, is third in the standings and only 18 points behind Kenseth after Johnson finished fourth at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. And next up? Dover, Del., where Johnson has won seven times.
2. Hats off to Martin Truex Jr. He's driving with a cast on his broken right wrist, got dropped from the Chase because of the race-fixing scandal involving his Michael Waltrip Racing team and Truex's main sponsor is leaving after this year so his future is up in the air. Yet Truex set all that aside to lead 98 laps at New Hampshire. The handling on his No. 56 Toyota later went away and Truex had to settle for a 10th-place finish, but his focus and perseverance amid the distractions was notable.
3. The Chase already looks over for three drivers. There are eight races left in the playoff but Dale Earnhardt Jr., Joey Logano and Kasey Kahne are in deep holes: They're 62, 69 and 71 points behind Kenseth, respectively, and 11th, 12th and 13th in the 13-driver Chase. A driver can earn up to 48 points in a single race, but the problem facing those three is that they have to vault over so many other drivers to have a shot at the championship. Based on the first two races, just getting past Kenseth and Busch would seem a near impossible challenge at this point.
4. The NHRA top-fuel race can't get any tighter. Drag racer Doug Kalitta not only snapped a 71-race winless drought with his win at the AAA Texas Fall Nationals, he also moved into a tie with Shawn Langdon for first place in the National Hot Rod Assn.'s top-fuel title standings. And Spencer Massey is just two points behind them with four events remaining, the last being the Auto Club NHRA Finals in Pomona on Nov. 7-10.
5. The IndyCar season isn't over, it just seems that way. The last Izod IndyCar Series race was three weeks ago, in Baltimore, and the next one -- a doubleheader in Houston -- is still two weeks away. How that's supposed to build interest in the sport, especially amid NASCAR's Chase and the onset of the NFL and college football seasons, is anyone's guess. The season finale is on the 2-mile oval in Fontana, where IndyCar's drivers will be testing Tuesday.

After Dark Horrorfest (US - DVD R1)
We have artwork for the next batch of 8 films arriving on DVD this March 23rd
The Final Synopsis
Quote: Dane, an awkward student with a deadly vendetta, leads a group of outcasts who plot to avenge the years of humiliation they faced by the popular students at Hohn High School. The outcasts turn the tables on the popular students who made sport of them and prepare for a single night that will leave their tormentors scarred for life.
Dread Synopsis
Quote: Produced by Clive Barker and adapted from his Books of Blood collection by Anthony DiBlasi (screenwriter), Dread follows Stephen (Jackson Rathbone, The Twilight Saga) and Cheryl (Laura Donnelly), college students making a documentary about what people dread in life. But they have no idea that their partner, Quaid (Shaun Evans), witnessed his parents being murdered by an axe-wielding lunatic and wants to make others experience his own personal horror. Called "one of the finest Clive Barker adaptations to date," by shocktillyoudrop.com, "Dread delivers on all chilling counts," according to fangoria.com.
The Reeds Synopsis
Quote: A weekend boating party turns into a nightmare for a group of young Londoners when they stumble upon a terrifying secret hidden in the reeds.
The Graves Synopsis
Quote: From the creator of the legendary comics Evil Ernie and Lady Death, comes The Graves. On their last weekend together, Megan and Abby Graves are lost in a remote part of the Arizona desert where they are lured to Skull City Mine, an abandoned mine town. But they soon learn Skull City is anything but abandoned — and there's no way out. The sisters are now prey, forced to unleash their most primitive instincts in a desperate, all-out battle for survival against unspeakable horrors — both human and supernatural.
Lake Mungo Synopsis
Quote: In Lake Mungo, sixteen-year-old Alice Palmer drowns while swimming in the local dam. When her body is recovered and a verdict of accidental death returned, her grieving family buries her. The family then experiences a series of strange and inexplicable events centered in and around their home. Profoundly unsettled, the Palmers seek the help of psychic and parapsychologist, Ray Kemeny. Ray discovers that Alice led a secret, double life. A series of clues lead the family to Lake Mungo where Alice's secret past emerges. Quietearth.com states, the film "…doesn't need to rely on gimmicks to get under your skin," while The Hollywood Reporter declared, "A convincing mock-documentary style lifts 'Lake Mungo' beyond spooky supernatural mystery into the realms of emotional truth-telling."
Zombies of Mass Destruction Synopsis
Quote: A conservative island community is under attack! Port Gamble, Washington is being overrun with brain eaters, and the people seem powerless to stave them off. A rag tag band of rebels led by Frida, an Iranian college student suspected of being an Iraqi terrorist, and Tom, a gay businessman who has returned to town with his partner to come out to his mother, tries to turn the tide and push the invading hoards of undead back. Called "the best of its type since Shaun of the Dead," filmthreat.com states, "Zombies of Mass Destruction is a limb-shucking, eye-gouging hoot, full of both disemboweled stomachs and belly laughs."
Hidden Synopsis
Quote: With his mother's passing, KK returns home after nineteen years to settle her estate. But with his heritage comes dark and deadly secrets. Having spent the last two decades trying to forget his cruel mother and his past life in the creepy house in the woods, KK finds that there are some things you just can't run from. Thefreshfilms.com declares "…Hidden is bordering on greatness."
Kill Theory Synopsis
Quote: Seven college students visit a secluded vacation home to celebrate graduation and become trapped in a deadly game by a mysterious killer. Forced to kill one another by 6 am the following morning, only one of them can remain alive. Whoever remains will be allowed to walk away with his or her life. However, if morning comes and more than one is still breathing, everyone dies. Friends and couples must test their trust as the clock ticks away. Some will fight for love, some to survive, but all will change. Because deep down... we're all killers.

Love these series of films - most are usually quite good
Heard good things about "Dread," and Clive Barker has been on a role recently (likely because he is not actually directing his adaptations), especially with "Midnight Meat Train." Also, Lake Mungo has some very interesting cover art - which in turn led me to read the synopsis. Seems like it might be worth checking out. The others range from so-so to ridiculous.
Lake Mungo, The Final, and Zombies of Mass Destruction look cool. Both Zombies and The Final wil be my only buys.
Absolutely love the artwork for 'Lake Mungo'.
Saw Zombies of Mass Destruction on Saturday night. It's definitely worth watching. Can't vouch for any of the others.
A lot of these look hilarious.
Picking up quite a few of these.
KILL THEORY is AMAZING, and LAKE MUNGO is very very creepy.
Looking forward to picking up those two and The Final, because that looks awesome!

The Mets received good and bad reviews from two pitchers who might have the highest expectations this season in Johan Santana and Mike Pelfrey.
Santana, recovering from shoulder surgery, threw in the bullpen today without discomfort and pronounced himself ready for his next start Sunday, when he's scheduled to throw three innings against the Marlins.
Santana was anxious to see how his shoulder would respond after Tuesday's start.
"I was able to throw my bullpen without any problems and with good intensity and work on all my pitches,'' Santana said. "I felt pretty good.''
Santana said every day represents another hurdle, and this week has been all good news. He threw mostly fastballs and change-ups during his 29-pitch outing Tuesday and plans to throw more sliders Sunday.
While we can't make too much of this to pencil Santana in for the Opening Day rotation, considering what he's gone through the news is encouraging.
As for Pelfrey, he struggled in his first start of the spring, giving up four runs on six hits in 2 2/3 innings. He had the usual problems with his command, in particular with his sinker.
"I didn't get ahead,'' Pelfrey said in what was a common refrain last year. "It's kind of hard to pitch when you're behind in the count. … I didn't make pitches. The command wasn't very good today.''
Pelfrey gave up a homer to Austin Kearns on a crippled sinker.

I don't really care much about chocolate [gasp!], and I think Valentine's Day is mostly a lamentable shakedown perpetuated to promote superfluous consumption. All of which makes me an unlikely choice of authors for Ecocentric's Valentine's Day chocolate post. I do, however, have one important qualification: I care about preventing slave labor.
Guess who doesn't? Hershey. Turns out it's easier and cheaper for the chocolate behemoth to cast a blind eye on extraordinarily unjust cocoa production practices than to make a modest effort to prevent gross human rights abuses.
Here's the deal: Hershey sources much of its cocoa from West Africa, where working conditions are often abhorrent (think: forced labor, human trafficking and abusive child labor). Other global and domestic chocolate makers have addressed this issue by purchasing cocoa beans that have been certified by third party organizations to ensure that they meet certain labor and environmental standards. But Hershey (which manufacturers a staggering 42.5% of all chocolate in the US) appears to prefer profit over people.
Tell Hershey to Do the Right Thing
Think it's important to prevent modern-day slavery in the chocolate industry? Visit the Raise the Bar campaign to take action. The site now includes a valentine that you can send to Hershey to encourage the company to trace the sources of its cocoa, eliminate child and forced labor and shift to Fair Trade certified cocoa.
Eat the Right Thing
Here at Ecocentric, we encourage readers to vote with their forks. If you're into buying chocolate for Valentine's Day, show some love for the cocoa farmers and choose a Fair Trade certified brand. The label ensures that the chocolate is produced without forced and abusive child labor, that environmentally sustainable production practices are used and that farmers receive a price that allows them to meet their basic needs. Find expert tasting notes on a few Fair Trade brands from last year's office chocolate taste test extravaganza post.
