Perfecting the Unknown: Cloud Computing
Published 1:31 pm, Monday, December 31, 2012
Presented by:
The cloud is often touted as the undisputed future of computing, but that doesn't mean it's perfect. Cloud computing on an enterprise scale is a relatively young technology and, like so many young technologies, it's still learning where the sharp corners are. Many of the general mishaps of cloud computing may likely be prevented by advances in user-facing technology in the near future. But in the interim, it's important for users to know that the convenience and speed of the cloud comes with some inherent risks that require some attention and a little bit of education.
Business Channel
The single biggest threat to uneducated cloud users is the loss of data from carelessness or lack of planning. Most cloud environments are strictly monitored by trained IT staff. However, it's also incumbent on the end user to understand and avoid the behaviors that my cause a security issue.
Education is key here, so let's run down a list of ways end users can avoid the most common cloud mishaps:
Watch where you connect.
Accessing your cloud from unsecured mobile hotspots is an easy way to have your data corrupted and your sensitive information compromised. While we're not saying that every coffee shop with Wi-Fi is a hornet's nest, it's best to avoid them when possible. Think of how much data you're storing in your network. If you are accessing your most essential files, it is worth asking yourself if the latte is worth it. It might be a good idea to consider creating your own mobile hotspot in this case.
Have a migration plan.
Transitioning to the cloud from conventional computing isn't easy at the best of times (and it's usually not the cloud end that causes that difficulty). But trying to implement a migration without a migration plan is just asking for chaos. Not only will it be inconvenient and arduous, but it may also disrupt your business.
Hire a professional.
If your company doesn't have a dedicated IT resource person, hire one or find a consultant. If you do have an IT person, but he/she stares blankly when you ask about cloud implementation and developing a migration plan , find better IT resources. Cloud providers offer a range of convenient services, but they can't alleviate disorder and lack of knowledge on your end.
Invest in security. There are a lot of cloud service providers out there. Some are great. Others are mediocre. A few are bargain-basement, get-what-you-pay-for entities that give you bare-bones hosting with lax or even nonexistent security support. Just because the offering is cheap doesn't mean it's right for you. Shop around and a find a secure provider you can trust.
The cloud's potential is almost limitless, but it's far from foolproof. Think of the cloud as a tool. Just because you've bought a great nail gun doesn't mean you know how to use it. Spend the time to familiarize yourself with the terminology and capabilities of the cloud. Your customers will be glad you did.

Daniel Fishkin's ears are ringing. Composer, sound artist, and instrument builder. Completely ambivalent about music. Daniel studied with composer Maryanne Amacher and with multi-instrumentalist Mark Stewart. He has performed as a soloist on modular synthesizer with the American Symphony Orchestra, developed sound installations in abandoned concert halls, and played innumerable basement punk shows. Daniel's lifework investigating the aesthetics of hearing damage has received international press (Nature Journal, 2014); as an ally in the search for a cure, he has been awarded the title of "tinnitus ambassador" by the Deutsche Tinnitus-Stiftung. Recent activities include Composing the Tinnitus Suites: 2016, a concert series about hearing damage, taking place in Philadelphia, PA, supported by a a Project Grant from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.

Official State of Alaska Vacation and Travel Information
Region: Southcentral
Located 10 miles northeast of Soldotna on the Kenai Peninsula, Sterling is a full-service community geared toward visitors preparing to venture into the surrounding wilderness of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.
In and around Sterling, campgrounds, state access sites and trails are plentiful but the crown jewel of local outdoor recreation options is the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.
The area around Sterling has been home to Kenaitze Indians for more than 2,000 years. An archaeological site containing prehistoric house pits was uncovered at the Isaac Walton State Recreation Site just west of Sterling.
Sterling serves as the base for anglers and canoers who arrive every summer to land trophy king salmon or paddle the wilderness waterways of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.
The refuge encompasses 2 million acres and is home to the Swan Lake and the Swanson River canoe routes that connect 120 miles of lakes and rivers in an undulating landscape. The 60-mile Swan Lake route is the more popular choice for paddlers as it connects 30 lakes and the Moose River with portages. You could spend more than a week paddling this area and finish just west of Sterling at the Sterling Highway. For more information on paddling, canoe outfitters or drop-off services contact the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.
Sterling is located at Mile 81 of Sterling Highway at the junction of the Moose and Kenai rivers and is accessible from Anchorage and Homer by scheduled bus service.
A number of charter fishing guides operate in the Sterling area and often use drift boats to float clients down the Kenai River. Four species of salmon; king, sockeye, pink and silver, spawn up the Kenai River at various times during the summer.

Regarding Celebration: What the Sealaska organization needs to remember is that Sealaska stands for Southeast Alaska Native Organization. It should stay in Southeast - Juneau is the most likely place, due to the shopping and easy access for Southeast Natives to travel to. They need to remember how the Celebration started - once again, by Southeast Native communities. It is all right to "invite" others to this event but only to a limited number of other groups. Get back to basics. Get back to Southeast. There are other events that do what the Celebration does. If people want to see these other dance groups, then go to Seattle, or all the other places down South that give big events and have the facilities to do so.
If this goes to Anchorage (the only other place where this large of event could happen) then it won't be a Southeast event anymore. Our local groups wouldn't be able to travel there. There would be no "Celebration!" And as a Sealaska shareholder, I would be very angry for "my" organization spending money on an event that I or others are not able to attend or participate.

Skandicrush Holiday Box Review
Skandicrush is a new subscription box dedicated to Scandinavian design items for the home. They also launched their first limited edition box for December – the Holiday Box!
This box was sent to us for review purposes. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).
The Box: Skandicrush Holiday Box (This box is no longer available for purchase, but regular Skandicrush subscriptions are open)
The Cost: $65 (one time purchase)
The Items: Eight individually wrapped small gifts.
All the items arrived ready for gifting or unwrapping yourself!
Nuance Multiforks – Value $15
Like most thinks Skandicrush sends, I really like the simple and modern design of these appetizer forks!
Normann Copenhagen Tea Egg – Value $18
This tea infuser is dishwasher safe silicone, and I like that it is so long – I just can set it any size tea mug I have.
Ferm Living Cutting/Serving Board – Value $30
This cutting board has another pattern on the flip side:
It works as a cutting board, serving board, or even a trivet for hot pans. (And it is dishwasher safe!)
HAY Bookbinders Book – Value $10
This notebook doesn't have a hard cover, and it's pretty basic but useful.
Inside the little red bag were these wooden snowflake ornaments! (Value $6 total?)
Normann Copenhagen Geo Milk Jug – Value $15
I don't drink dairy, so this little creamer is getting swapped!
Manostiles Tin – Value $20
This item wasn't wrapped since it is already good to go! I can always use more organizational things to hide clutter on my desk, so this works well for my cards and envelopes.
Sagaform Letter Salad Set – Value $22
This salad server set is another beautifully and simply designed piece. I also like that the box it comes in is "wrapped" – it would make a great hostess gift.
Verdict: This box has a value of about $136 – just over double the cost of the box. I'm very pleased with the value for a home item box, and they delivered what I was expecting – practical and stylish home items. (Check out the Skandicrush Holiday Box reveal if you'd love to see all the different variations that were shipped).
Did you get a Holiday Box? What did you think of it?

Even if he did say it it's not against the law to do so, it is not a HATE crime if you are the one who is physically attacked.
Had Zimmerman called him a ****ing coon and physically attacked him that could be a hate crime but him saying ****ing coon and getting attacked has nothing to do with this except to stoke the fire of the ones who only see this as a racial event.
Zimmerman could have screamed it at him and there is no law that says he can't do it unless he then assaulted Trayvon....
As racist as it would be to call someone a ****ing coon would be does not make it a crime to do so.

But stowed away in the cable-tier is an escaped female convict. To the officers, Clarissa Harvill is an object of awkward courtliness and dangerous jealousies. Aubrey himself is won over and indeed strongly attracted to this woman who will not speak of her past.

The Vancouver House has garnered plenty of interest in recent months with their art exhibit styled presentation center, theatre and TV adverts, rare for a pre-selling real estate project and unique architectural design soon to dominate the Vancouver skyline. But it also brings with it, a re-imagined area dubbed 'The Beach District'.
Coming in 2017/2018 expect to see a new urban village in our midsts, dedicated to culture and the arts, the underside of the Granville Bridge will be lit up with art displays from students of the Emily Carr University and a giant chandelier will lower at 9pm to add glitz and glamour to the area. Also in the plans are a whole new lifestyle space with restaurants, cafes and retail stores to cater to the needs of the new residents of the proposed project and visitors alike.
The area is identified as along Beach Avenue under the Granville Bridge and the surrounding block where the development will occur.

Pros & Cons to Trading for Darrelle RevisJanuary 24, 2013
Pros & Cons to Trading for Darrelle Revis
So, you're interested in Darrelle Revis?
Well, get out your notebook. It's time to list the pros and cons to trading for arguably the best man-to-man cornerback in the game today.
As incredibly harsh as the New York Jets defender has been to wide receivers during his career, there are a plethora of cons as well as pros.
Let's take a look.
Pro: He Can Virtually Shut Down Every No. 1 Receiver
Chances are, if you're inquiring about Darrelle Revis, you know what you're getting from him as a player.
He has shut down the league's best receivers—guys of all sizes and skill sets.
Stevie Johnson has had some good performances on the island, but Revis was never worked over by the Buffalo Bills wideout.
The fact that Johnson's relative success is continually brought up as the lone example of accomplishment against Revis demonstrates how terrific the Jets corner has been.
Con: He's Coming off ACL Surgery
Darrelle Revis tore his ACL on September 23 against the Miami Dolphins.
While the timing of the injury should give him plenty of time to rehab for the 2013 season, it's a red flag any time a player is returning from a major knee injury.
Will his ligament tear make him a half-step slower?
Pro: He's Only 27 Years Old
Is this a pro or a con?
Is 27 old or young for a cornerback?
Well, Revis will be 28 before the 2013 season, and many cornerbacks have been able to stay productive well into their 30s.
Technically, the Pittsburgh alum should still be in the "prime" of his career.
Con: His Holdout Past
Darrelle Revis held out prior to the 2010 season.
The result?
The cornerback signed a four-year, $46 million extension a week before the team's regular-season opener.
In 2012, Revis hinted at another holdout.
From ESPN:
"Revis said last month during minicamp that he was unsure if he would report for training camp while looking for the Jets to rework the $46 million, four-year deal he signed in 2010."
Clearly, he's not afraid to hold out to get the most money possible.
Pro: He's Solid Against the Run
Though Revis' tackling numbers have decreased from the 87 he totaled in 2007 as a rookie, he has always been considered a willing defender in run support and he tackles well.
Per ProFootballFocus.com (subscription required), Revis ranked as the ninth-best cornerback against the run in 2011, a season in which he missed a mere four tackles.
Since he plays close to the line of scrimmage often, Revis is typically heavily involved against the run, too.
Con: You'll Most Likely Have to Part with High Draft Picks
The New York Jets know what they have in Darrelle Revis, and due to that, they're going to ask for significant compensation.
A first-round pick is almost guaranteed to be involved in any trade, and a future mid-round pick is likely to be part of the deal as well.
So, if you want Revis, be ready to take a hit on draft day.
Pro: He Has Tremendous Ball Skills
Revis was held without an interception during the 2010 season.
Discounting that year and the two games he played in 2012, he has been an interception machine.
In 64 other games during his career, Revis has 18 picks and has defended 85 passes, including 31 in 2009.
Revis is a fantastic shadow corner, but he's not lost when the ball gets to its intended target, that's for sure.
Con: He'll Want an Extremely Lucrative Contract
Revis comes with a $9 million cap hit in 2013, which includes $4.5 million in base salary.
Comparatively, Johnathan Joseph of the Houston Texans is set to earn $7.5 million in base salary next season.
This Jets cornerback will want more than that.
Therefore, be ready to dedicate a good chunk of your payroll to Revis if you trade for him.
Pro: He Makes Your Entire Defense Better
When Revis is on the field, he makes your entire defense better.
You can leave him on an "island" and roll coverage away from him without giving up big-gainers to the opposition's No. 1 receiver.
Just watch a Jets game from 2008-2011.
Many of their exotic blitzes were made possible by the incredibly tight man coverage Revis played.
Con: Recent Super Bowl Winners Haven't Had an Elite Cornerback
Adding a player like Darrelle Revis would undoubtedly help improve your defense and your team in general.
However, he doesn't guarantee anything.
Take a look at the last eight Super Bowl winners—Giants, Packers, Saints, Steelers, Giants, Colts, Steelers, Patriots—and you'll see none of those teams boasted a cornerback who was considered elite.
Charles Woodson was great for the Packers, but he did get hurt in the Super Bowl. Asante Samuel was of course a ball hawk in New England, too. However, other than those two, the championship secondaries legitimately didn't have a premier, shutdown corner.
Just a reminder.

I testified today before the Senate Commerce Committee hearing on "Wireless Broadband and the Future of Spectrum Policy." My written testimony is here; this is the summary I presented during the hearing. I've posted some Q&A in a subsequent post. My remarks are recorded in the archived webcast, starting at 58:02; see also a question from Chairman Thune and my reply starting at 2:05:43.
There is no need to rehearse the boom in wireless services and technologies, and the incredible opportunities of using spectrum. I have come to believe that the promised spectrum bonanza will much reduced if government doesn't create tools to respond to the unprecedented diversity and crowding in spectrum.
The more we squeeze services together in frequency, space and time, the greater the cost of unwise spectrum allocation, and the greater the risk of service failures due to harmful interference. The problem is not unlike that of a booming city that must make room for more and more traffic of all shapes and sizes—pedestrians, bicycles, motorbikes, cars, trucks, buses, etc.—at the same time that real estate values are exploding and space is at a premium.
The growing variety, intensity and dynamism of spectrum use requires that regulators make initial rules wisely, and that we find ways to shift routine spectrum management—like rule adjustments and dispute resolution—from regulators to users.
My written testimony details three important steps that I'm convinced will help deliver on the promise of spectrum. Each addresses a different stages of the spectrum life-cycle:
1. When planning new allocations, the FCC and NTIA should move away from worst case interference analysis and use risk-informed methods that consider not only the consequences but also the likelihood of harmful interference.
2. When issuing operating rights, regulators should be clearer about operators' interference rights and obligations by specifying harm claim thresholds. The FCC typically doesn't define rights and obligation very clearly; the ambiguity helps to prevent any possible interference. This made sense when spectrum rights were not in such great demand. It is not tenable given the crowded spectrum bazaar we now face. Harm claim thresholds are good fences, and they will make for good neighbors.
3. When in the middle of interference disputes, any spectrum user should have the option of taking action directly against any other, either in front of an FCC judge or in a federal Court of Spectrum Claims. A federal court is essential because there is currently no venue where intractable disputes between the FCC and NTIA can be resolved. Fact-based, transparent, and timely adjudication will facilitate better spectrum management.
While I am convinced that each of these recommendations on its own will bring great benefits, there are significant synergies between them.
1. Bargaining and contracting based on harm claim thresholds is facilitated by a well-functioning system of dispute resolution.
2. In turn, adjudication is facilitated by clear statements of the rights and obligations to interference protection as enshrined in harm claim thresholds.
3. And finally, risk-informed rather than worst-case interference assessment makes for wise rights allocation and efficient enforcement with a quantitative way to balance the interests of interfering and interfered-with services.
Congress plays a vital role. Here are three things it can do:
1. Take a risk-informed view yourselves, when presented with questions of harmful interference, and avoid (the temptation of) fixating on the worst case;
2. Encourage the FCC and NTIA to use risk-informed interference assessment, and to be more explicit about interference rights and obligations; and
3. Create a Court of Spectrum Claims within the US Court of Federal Claims.

Get a fresh grip on your game
Overgrips are a bit underrated within the recreational tennis playing population. It's surprisingly common to see dingy to truly filthy overgrips (see exhibit A below) on even the chicest dresser – man or woman. Overgrips go on over the thick factory grip – the one your racquet came with. They offer an affordable update for your tennis game AND psyche. You do not need to go to the expense of redoing your base grip.
Change it up (please)!
Above, a few options. Left to right: Monreal signature print, RS Tennis True Tack Girl Power in hot pink, Gamma Hand Print Pink Hibiscus, Monreal Pink Polka, RS Tennis True Tack Tour in bright white, Monreal Grips Lips, and Gamma Hand Print Black camo.
I recommend changing your overgrip every 4-5 times you play. They make a difference and it's not all cosmetic. Fresh skin for your racquet handle is of course more hygienic but it's also functional for those who like that extra tacky feel (best right there) to prevent slipping or absorbent to soak up sweat. The features don't last beyond that fifth hit especially if you are an aggressive player. To be honest, some overgrips don't keep their features beyond two. Look for descriptors like extra thin, perforations, powder and more that offer help for common grip problems.
And that's just a start; there's a rainbow of colors so you can coordinate with your racquet, shoes and/or outfit.
The price? They come as singles, 3 packs, 6-packs, buckets and reels and they range from $1.50 (if bought in a reel) to $12 a grip. The cheapest option is to buy the reel of 30 but then you've got the same overgrip every time and that's no fun.
There is no excuse to let your racquet get to this (below), honestly the worst I've EVER seen.
I'll give you a closer look….

Re: Denslow C Dickinson
In reply to:
Re: Denslow C Dickinson
Jeanette Dickinson 6/09/12
See my other message.The problem with genealogy is that the longer an error has existed in publication, the harder it is to get rid of it.What you find online is full of errors.
Philemon Dickinson was definitely the son of Christopher and not the son of Noah.Here is the history:
1.The Mormon leader Orson Pratt took notes on his mother's family in 1846, direct from his mother, Charity (Dickinson) Pratt (1776-1849).She was the daughter of Samuel and Huldah (Griffith) Dickinson and the granddaughter of Christopher Dickinson.As she was born in 1776, she personally knew Philemon.In this sketch, she wrote that Philemon's wife was named Martha.This sketch appears in the book "Finding Your Forefathers in America" by Archibald Bennett (1950s).
2.Christopher Dickinson's son Samuel is known to have gone to Bolton, Warren County, New York (same source).The 1800 and 1810 censuses show Samuel there.Philemon is there in all the censuses from 1800 to 1850, and John from 1800 to 1840.
3.A genealogy of some descendants of Philemon Dickinson appears in William Richard Cutter, Genealogical and Family History of Western New York (New York:Lewis Historical Pub. Co., 1912), 2: 653-655.As was typical with Cutter, people submitted their own genealogical information and he would tack it on to something he found that was already published.In this case, everything from Philemon downward is good, but everything backward from him is not.He made Philemon out to be the son of a Noah Dickinson.
4.Cutter writes that Philemon Dickinson was born Aug. 20, 1761, in Dutchess County, New York.This is an example of accurate information (provided by family) mixed with falsehoods, because then he makes Philemon out to be the son of Noah, b. 1729, d. Mar. 28, 1815, who married, Apr. 28, 1757, Mary Dickinson.Noah was a member of the Massachusetts Dickinson family.Noah lived in Amherst, Massachusetts, in 1790-1800-1810, NOT in New York.His Revolutionary service was in Massachusetts.Apparently no children of his were recorded, but one book, Genealogies of Hadley Families, by Boltwood, gives him a daughter Mary, who married Ebenezer Mattoon.
So, unless a will of Noah Dickkinson can be located, it doesn't look as if it would be easy to disprove Cutter's placement of Philemon as Noah's son.
However, we know that Charity (b. 1776) said her uncle Philemon married Martha, that Philemon was born in Dutchess County, that Philemon's brother went to Cherry Valley, NY (from Cutter; this was James, son of Christopher), that Philemon went to Bolton, NY, just like his brothers Samuel and John, that Denslow lived next to Bolton in Caldwell (with no connections to any Dickinsons in Amherst, Mass.)....So there is no question that Philemon was the son of Christopher and Mary Dickinson, who lived in Dutchess County in 1761 and later were in Canaan, Columbia County, NY.
I thought I would detail this out, in order to help correct this error----although knowing how these errors get perpetuated, I doubt that it will!

MITSUBISHI Australia's near-death experience and subsequent reconstruction sent the local car industry spiralling to a break-even result in 2004 despite record sales in the new vehicle market.
The industry's report card, now complete with the Mitsubishi and Toyota results, shows a patchy performance, with the four local makers, in general, missing out on much of the domestic market's 5 per cent growth.
All up, and including exports, the local car makers sold 696,000 cars and trucks, a gain of 1.69 per cent. Revenue was up 3.79 per cent, indicating a rise in the average value of cars sold.
But industry earnings were virtually eliminated by the need to rebuild Mitsubishi's balance sheet as part of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation's revitalisation plan.
The huge write-offs sent the company plunging to a loss of $588 million for the year to March 31, offsetting almost all the profits posted by the other three companies.
But the write-offs masked a significantly improved performance, Mitsubishi chief Tom Phillips said.
Mitsubishi more than halved its trading loss, from $220 million to $108 million. Mr Phillips said a further improvement of $100 million could be expected in the current financial year.
"We will be well and truly back in the black by the end of this financial year there's no doubt about that," he said, adding that the forecast took into account the expense of the run-out of the old XR model and the launch of the new 380.
Mr Phillips said the speculation about the future of the company, both here and in Japan, had unnerved buyers and made 2004 a dreadful year.
"We were dead and buried by October," he said. "That's why we started the corporate recognition campaign."
That campaign had restored a lot of confidence in the company and its dealer network, he said.
The new 380 would have a 3.8-litre V6 engine and would be aimed at the private buyer in the six-cylinder car segment, the biggest in the market, he said.
"The six-cylinder segment has shrunk as a percentage of the overall market, but there are still a bucketload of cars sold there. We're not out to be market leader. We just want our 2500 a month and we'll be happy."
Apart from the $108 million trading loss, Mitsubishi wrote off $385 million of assets, including a $78 million investment in a larger version of the new car cancelled late in the program.
Other costs included $95 million for retrenchments after the Lonsdale engine plant closure.
The GM Holden profit of $335 million for 2004 was boosted by a $170 million abnormal gain on the sale to parent company General Motors of intellectual property, believed to be the design for the Zeta platform that will underpin the next Commodore. The parent cancelled its Zeta program earlier this year.

An interesting topic came up last week as I was chatting with Craig LaBan, the restaurant critic for the Philadelphia Inquirer and one of the judges at the Chronicle Wine Competition. (You can find the results of the competition right here.)
I was remarking about one of my puzzlements with the competition's breakfast spread, one that has also shown up at plenty of other tasting events: hot sauce. Why would you serve hot sauce to someone whose palate is about to pass judgment on 100-plus wines?
Craig was far less fazed by this than me, and it underscored one of those curious differences between food criticism and wine criticism: The food critic works in situ, so to speak — tasting restaurant food in its native environment and ready for whatever range of spice or flavor comes along. (With notable exceptions, of course, like Taster's Choice, which are far more formalized.)
The wine critic might sometimes taste in a native environment — barrel tasting in the cellar, for instance — but a good share of our jobs is done in a relatively formalized environment. Even if we're sitting at home, we're tasting wine far more methodically and usually in a competitive spectrum — which among these 40 Rieslings do we like best?
Which led me to think about my morning pre-tasting routine — breakfast, specifically. Any wine writer who has learned to endure formalized tastings has a method; none are quite the same. You want to approach your day's tasting with a fresh and clear palate, and what leaves one palate ready for prime time will steamroll another.
Beverages, for instance: Can you have coffee? I've found I'm perfectly fine (and far more agreeable) after a morning espresso, slightly sweetened, and in far inferior place of that I'll take a cup of strong black, no sugar. Other results may vary. How about tea — do you want to start putting those tannins in your mouth before you taste white wines? Would you start downing orange juice? (My answer: No, unless I really need some fructose.)
As for breakfast itself, everyone learns their own rules along the way. Toast and unsweetened pastries are fine for me; so is bacon (natch); some lower-acid fruit (bananas, for instance) and oatmeal, if I'm in the mood. Eggs are a perfect pre-tasting breakfast, in no small part thanks to the protein that helps bolster against the acid-alcohol-tannin barrage that is daily wine tasting.
Beyond that it grows murkier. My daily yogurt usually gets put on hold, along with other dairy (the lactic acid does no favors to wine). My beloved green apples get put on hold (too much malic acid). I couldn't imagine eating a danish before tasting wine, but some wine judges scarf them down with glee — and others would probably scowl at the dab of ketchup I occasionally put on my eggs.
This isn't limited to breakfast. One of my fellow panelists relayed a story about Napa legend Andre Tchelistcheff chastizing a tasting organizer for a heavy dose of vinaigrette on the lunch salad.
Of course, there are no hard and fast answers. But if you're judging wine, know that your fellow judges, if not winemakers, will watch what you're eating. So put that Cap'n Crunch back, mister.
Next up: More thoughts from the Chronicle competition — and the importance of skilled tasters.

|A simple and sensitive fluorescence technique for the rapid determination of protein phosphorylation states in gels!
|Pro-Q Diamond stain from Molecular Probes is an exciting new dye for the sensitive detection of phosphoproteins in 1-D and 2-D gels.The dye has numerous applications in kinase studies and phospho-proteomics.
|A dried SDS protein gel stained with Pro-Q Diamond (kindly provided by Dr. Wayne Patton of Molecular Probes, Inc.) was photographed on a Dark Reader transilluminator using an Olympus 3000 digital camera and a 5 sec exposure time.
The samples were alpha-casein (left side) and beta-casein. The amount of protein loaded onto the gel ranged from 500 ng down to 32 ng.
Considering that Pro-Q Diamond is maximally excited around 550 nm, the detection sensitivity with the Dark Reader is remarkably good. For the most sensitive detection of faint spots in 2-D gels though, an appropriately configured laser-scanner should probably be used.

Don't spend so much getting to and from work
10 Ways to Reduce the Cost of Your Commute
by Gary Foreman

How Much Can Biking Save You?
Could Car Sharing Save or Even Make You Money?
Motorcycle Commute Savings
How much of your life do you spend commuting? According to the U.S. Census Bureau, over 76% of all workers drive to work. If you're an average driver, you'll spend 25 minutes commuting.
How far you drive varies widely. Nearly a third (29%) report commuting only 5 miles or less one way. But 8% have commutes of 35 miles or more!
With the cost of gas constantly fluctuating and your time becoming more valuable each day, how can you reduce the cost of commuting or at least make the time spent more profitable?
Change your business hours. It's called "rush hour" for a reason. Everyone is rushing to get to work or to get home. Many jobs will allow you to shift your working hours, so you're not commuting during peak travel times. Start your day an hour earlier or later and you could reduce the time you spend commuting by half.
Reduce the number of working days. For many jobs, the eight-hour day and five-day week are becoming obsolete. Check with your employer to see if you could work four ten-hour days each week. You'll reduce your cost and time spent by 20%.
Work from home. The days when you could leave the office behind at the end of the work day is over. If you're an information worker, you're connected via cell phone, email, text, and internet. Your employer may even expect you to check in electronically on the weekend. Why not take that connectivity to the next level and work from home one or two days each week?
Carpool. Three out of four workers commute alone. A carpool can cut your costs dramatically. Not only will you save, but you'll also get to know someone on a personal level and might even make a lifelong friend.
Use mass transit. You won't save time. In fact, it'll probably lengthen your commute, but you will save money. And you can pay full attention to anything that you'd like to read or listen to while your local transit authority does the driving.
Bike to work. For many, it's not practical, but if you're lucky enough to be able to bike to work, you'll save dollars and get a workout at the same time. Many bikers say that peddling past cars stuck in rush hour traffic makes the ride so much more pleasant!
Find out how much you might save biking.
Learn something while you drive. There are plenty of courses available on audio. Whether you want to learn a new language or brush up on home repair techniques, there's a CD or podcast to help you do that. Just remember that you can't take notes while driving!
Listen to your favorite podcasts. There are innumerable podcasts available for download. Search for "podcast directories" to see which ones would pique your interest. Download an episode or two. You won't like all of them, but some will become regular partners on your commute.
Exercise your mind. Just like your muscles, your brain grows stronger when it's worked. So instead of daydreaming while you sit in traffic, work some brain teasers. Use the time to challenge your mind. Memorize the Declaration of Independence or a passage from a favorite book. Make sure your brain is stronger when you get out of the car than when you got in.
Listen to good music. Scientists have begun to discover that certain music can help promote heath and well-being. Use your commute time to listen to some of the world's best music. While you can't close your eyes (you are driving after all), you can soothe your soul.

The Twitter Music app for iOS (meaning iPad and iPhone) has expanded its service to include the ability to filter by music genre, meaning that genres like alternative, dance, folk, electronic, rock and more can be used to filter your Twitter music experience. The Twitter iOS app is really just an iPhone app that gets rescaled as an iPad app, meaning that they really have only built the iPhone app so far. Still, it gives you the Twitter Music experience in either environments.
According to Engadget, the Twitter Music iOS app will also have deeper Rdio integration, saying "The new version 1.1 update also lets users now authenticate Rdio from within the app -- no more linking out to Safari -- and irons out some known bugs, too." Still no word on when a dedicated Twitter Music Android app will arrive, but they'd be crazy not to offer Twitter Music to such a large audience. It's at music.twitter.com, so Android people can always go there and still get the Twitter Music service experience.
As far as a review of the user experience, Twitter Music is still just an average music discovery service. Music discovery and the throng of streaming music services out there right now are proving that it's a tough game of trying to expand beyond more than just a music player with a few social media and search capabilities with playlists. Jimmy Iovine spoke to Walt Mossberg earlier this year at the All Things D conference about the need to bring curation into the experience as something new, something that Pandora Radio does to an extent via its Music Genome Project. Still, we seem to be at a sticking point right now when it comes to streaming music services.
The Twitter Music app launched back in April, as a free app with all things music. It has a more visual layout than the usual Twitter timeline, a dominant trend this year in web design. It brings in your social network in by using Tweets from people and artists you follow, you can use the Twitter music player to play music from these artists without leaving the page. It's powered by Twitter search, so that the app can tap into the powerful search capabilities that Twitter has. The hashtag plays a big role in this, you can even tweet what you're playing with the ever-popular #nowplaying hashtag.

Institutional Racism In The Academy by Andrew Pilkington
November 22, 2012
LeftCentral Book Review
On April 22nd 1993, Stephen Lawrence was murdered, "Stephen was stabbed to death because he was black" this highly disturbing and incontrovertible finding emanates from a judicial inquiry, the Macpherson Report (1999), set up in 1997 to examine the flawed Police investigation into Stephen Lawrence`s murder. An investigation marred by a combination of factors most notably, "institutional racism" within the Police. As Professor Pilkington outlines the inquiry went further admitting that "institutional racism was rife in British Society". Andrew Pilkington utilises institutional racism as a conceptual tool to investigate Midshire Police and Midshire University, an ambitious endeavour producing a stimulating book.
Pilkington unravels the thorny concept of institutional racism a term initially associated with Stokely Carmichael a Black Power critic of USA racial policy. There has been significant resistance in applying this concept to the UK, for example the Scarman Report (1981) rejected the notion. This reticence may be valid given the racial landscape that Carmichael/Hamilton surveyed in 1967, with its heritage of de facto and de jure racism, making direct comparison with the UK difficult. However, Pilkington quoting Carmichael illustrates that, "Institutional racism also has another name: colonialism" a concept in which British institutions are clearly not immune.
Macpherson`s acceptance of institutional racism is explained and Pilkington reminds us that the inquiry was constrained by judicial precedent to follow the Scarman Report. In this regard the conversation outlined between Richard Stone and Bill Macpherson is a revealing one. More alarmingly, Pilkington describes a systematic retreat from Macpherson and the undermining of the concept of institutional racism. Jack Straw as Home Secretary, presented the report to Parliament and warmly embraced the concept, while his replacement David Blunkett moved away from the notion, after the UK riots in the summer of 2001. In Pilkington's view Blunkett abandoned institutional racism. The political retreat from Macpherson is evident post 9/11, which Pilkington explains led to an "emerging discourse that saw institutional racism as less significant than the threat of Muslim disorder/terrorism". Islamophobia is examined by Pilkington and he highlights the implications for Higher Education and Policing.
The speech criticising multiculturalism by David Cameron, 2011 is cited and in Pilkington`s view represents "a radical departure from the approach of previous post-war governments." This political departure sits uneasily within a legal framework outlined in the Equality Act 2010, the last legislative measure passed by the outgoing Labour administration. However, Labour were hardly covered in glory with Gordon Brown focussing on `British Jobs for British Workers`, as Paul Crofts has commented the Labour Party "unravelled the progressive agenda in a populist right-wing shift to shore up declining support". Pilkington also points out that Cameron's critique on multiculturalism undermined the recommendations of the Parekh, 2000 report.
The passing of the Crime and Disorders Act (1998), Pilkington concedes was "only tangentially concerned with racism, it did signal the importance attached to racist incidents." More significantly and obviously connected to Macpherson`s recommendations is the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000, which Pilkington points out, "not only declared it to be unlawful for public bodies, including the police, to be discriminatory in carrying out any of their functions but also placed a duty on all public bodies to be proactive in promoting racial equality." How the Police in Midshire dealt with racist incidents is outlined and explored but the most compelling aspect of this section of the book deals with Police culture and race, where "overt racism has been replaced by covert racism". There have been advances for Police Officers from minority ethnic communities the emergence of the `Black Police Association` highlights this but also illustrates that much needs to be done. Advances can be compared to the individual testimonies outlined by Pilkington, which are a strong feature of the book, from an Asian sergeant with fourteen-years service and a Black sergeant with twelve-years experience, they make illuminating reading.
Pilkington outlines gaps in Police provision linked to a lack of training and inadequate resourcing and he states, "ideas about race were still central to the occupational culture, with minority ethnic officers continuing to be seen as the `Other` and subject to special tests of loyalty from their colleagues." His examination of `stop and search` is linked he argues to "pressure generated by performance management to keep the numbers up can lead to police officers to pick on soft targets." And as he illustrates `soft targets` "are ethnic minority groups".
Pilkington's examination of Midshire University outlines the institutions difficulty (and resistance) in complying with the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000. The requirements are highlighted and the University when "judged against a template of 26 items, was identified as wholly failing to fulfil its obligations on 24 and only partially fulfilling them on the other two." Pilkington describes a Higher Education Sector in a state of flux, a widening participation agenda with divergent themes resulting in an increase in recruitment of ethnic minority students. In quoting Curtis, Pilkington adds a caveat, explaining that representation among ethnic minority students is highly concentrated with more Black Caribbean students found in one institution (London Metropolitan University) than the entire "Russell group of nineteen (highly prestigious) universities." For Pilkington race was "subsumed within an equal opportunities agenda" at Midshire a mantra which dominates his analysis. Pilkington highlights the eventual recovery in Midshire University, facilitated by the arrival of `Diversity Officers` resulting in eventual statutory compliance.
The occupational culture in Higher Education provides an interesting comparison with the Police. The experience of racism described by a young female Indian Lecturer appears in marked contrast with the testimonies of the two Police Officers; more damning of HE is the observation from a highly qualified Black Muslim Asian, overlooked by a panel because "he had no sense of humour". This disturbing feature of Higher Education may explain the overbearing `whiteness', evident at Midshire University.
Pilkington finds that institutional racism is still evident in Midshire Police but he steps back from drawing the same conclusion about Midshire University. His reasons are balanced and rational. But I found this assertion implausible after he had written so convincingly about the "sheer weight of whiteness in the University" especially when he stated that "in this sense the concept of institutional racism has been extremely revealing. And it helps us to grasp why there are some important parallels between the University and the Police." The fact that Midshire University made progress in eventually complying with the Race Relations Act 2000 does not alter the fact that Midshire is dominated by `whiteness`. Regardless of de jure advances and compliance any institution structured in such a way must exhibit de facto racism. The contested issue of racism is analysed by Pilkington and like the rest of this book deserves to be read and discussed – highly recommended.

The pensioner who says she killed her terminally ill husband as an act of mercy has spent months among thieves, con artists and drug dealers in a female prison wing.
Sheila Sampford, 75, must now wait more agonising days or weeks while a judge decides whether or not to believe her.
It is understood the gentle pensioner, who was married to husband John for 50 years, has been on suicide watch because of her state of despair.
Retired coach painter John, 82, died at his Bancroft Park home in July last year.
Last week Mrs Sampford, who is charged with murder, admitted to Luton Crown Court that she strangled him to end the pain he was suffering from terminal leukaemia.
There will now be a second hearing to determine whether she will be tried for murder or mercy killing.
Ironically the decision will come just weeks before the Assisted Dying Bill is brought to debate in parliament by Lord Falconer.
The bill, if approved, will make it legal for any terminally-ill person to go to their GP and request an assisted death through medication.
A spokesman for the campaigning Dying with Dignity group said: "Sad cases such as that of Mrs Sampford highlight why dying people and their loved ones would be better protected by a change in the law."
He added: "The overwhelming majority of the public support the right for dying people to be able to choose and assisted death."

Port of LA wants to add incentives for "green" vessels
ESI is an international web-based ship-rating system ports can use to promote clean ships by rewarding operators whose vessels exceed current environmental performance standards and regulations
in the NewsFedEx partners with Vecna Robotics as part of automation growth strategy Most recent Freight TSI is strong, says BTS AAR reports strong U.S. carload and intermodal gains for week ending March 17 Gartner's 2018 Magic Quadrant Names Kuebix as Prominent TMS Player Meet the 2018 Modern Show Daily team More News
The Port of Los Angeles is working with the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH) to develop incentive program strategies to participate in the Environmental Ship Index (ESI) Program starting in 2012.
ESI is an international web-based ship-rating system ports can use to promote clean ships by rewarding operators whose vessels exceed current environmental performance standards and regulations.
"We are hoping that this will be the start to give BCO's (beneficial cargo owners) a voice on where cargo is routed," said ports spokesman, Phillip Sanfield."We believe that there should be a financial reward given to ports and carriers for doing the right thing."
Port staff presented an outline of the program to the Board of Harbor Commissioners last week and expects to submit recommendations for participation in the program to the Board by early 2012.
The announcement comes on the fifth anniversary of the port's adoption of the Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP), landmark pollution reduction initiative whose measures have helped to cut harmful air emissions from port-related sources in the San Pedro Bay by as much as 76 percent.
The CAAP was designed as a blueprint for charting a permanent course for the Port of Los Angeles to operate the cleanest, most environmentally sustainable port. In 2010, the port reaffirmed its commitment to the CAAP by expanding its programs and setting more aggressive targets with near-term goals through 2014 and long-term objectives through 2023.
"The Port of Los Angeles is looking forward to being part of these international standards and setting the stage for North American ports to follow suit and reward operators for greening their fleets," said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Geraldine Knatz, Ph.D. and IAPH president. "As participation grows, the benefits increase for carriers and communities."
The Port of Los Angeles adopted the CAAP to help tackle harmful emissions in the South Coast Air Basin. After launching the CAAP in 2006, the port has met or exceeded nearly all its goals for reducing air pollution from port-related sources. Ships remain the toughest challenge, as they are regulated by international convention and represent the single largest source of air pollution from port-related operations.
The ESI identifies voluntary engine, fuel and technology enhancements ships can use to exceed current environmental performance standards. The ESI targets primary pollutants, which include nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and diesel particulate matter (DPM). The program also contains a component to help reduce greenhouse gases. The index was developed by some of the world's major ports collaborating under the World Ports Climate Initiative, a project of the IAPH.
Nine European ports in the Netherlands, Norway, Germany, Belgium and Italy have signed on to participate in the ESI and either have current programs or are in the process of developing programs to offer financial incentives to reward operators whose ships outperform environmental standards.

SPORTS BRIEFS| COLLEGE FOOTBALL; Stanford's Gerhart Will Enter Draft
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: January 16, 2010
Toby Gerhart, the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy, announced Friday that he would enter the N.F.L. draft instead of staying at Stanford.
Gerhart could have stayed with the Cardinal for a fifth season because he played just one game in 2007 because of injuries.
Gerhart ran for a Stanford-record 1,871 yards and a nation-leading 28 touchdowns this past season. He won the Doak Walker Award as the nation's top running back and finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting to Alabama's Mark Ingram in the closest vote ever. Stanford (8-5) lost to Oklahoma in the Sun Bowl, the program's first bowl appearance since 2001.
''Toby will be a great pro, and we are all excited for his opportunity at the next level,'' Coach Jim Harbaugh said. ''We are excited and enthused to watch Toby and all of our seniors go on to become leaders in their chosen fields.''
Georgia Tech hired the former Virginia coach Al Groh as its defensive coordinator, hoping he can turn around a unit that was burned for big yards even as the Yellow Jackets were winning the Atlantic Coast Conference championship. The move means Groh, who also coached the Jets for a season, will remain in the A.C.C. after nine years as the Cavaliers' head coach. He was fired shortly after Virginia completed a 3-9 season, its worst since 1982. groh

"Scooter" is a German techno band. The band is currently made up of members H.P. Baxxter (born Hans-Peter Geerdes), Rick Jordan (born Hendrik Stadler) and new member Michael Simon (born Born Michael Simon...). Among their more well-known hits are "RAMP! (The Logical Song)", "Hyper Hyper", "Fire!", "How Much Is The Fish?", "Nessaja", "Weekend!" and "Hello! (Good to be Back)".
Originally the group started as a side project in 1994. Their debut single ''Vallée De Larmes'' (French for ''Valley Of Tears'') reached #8 on the German dance chart. In April of that year, Scooter played their first live show in Hamburg, Germany, where vocalist H.P. Baxxter began freestyling off the top of his head to an instrumental dance track. At that point, Scooter officially became a group, and Baxxter's rapping would become one of the band's trademarks.
In 2002, Scooter enjoyed somewhat of a comeback, with 6 top twenty UK singles ("RAMP! s pl(The Logical Song)", "Nessaja", "Posse (I Need You On The Floor)", "Weekend!", "The Night", and "Maria (I Like It Loud)") all charting in an 18 month period (prior to this comeback, they only ever had one top twenty single in the UK, "Back In The U

There's no day of rest for San Francisco Olympic-hopeful Raquel Miller, who won her do-or-die boxing match against Tiffanie Ward Tuesday night and takes on Andrecia Wasson of Michigan in the ring tonight.
Miller, who is celebrating her 27th birthday today, lost her first fight in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials on Monday, but came back Tuesday in a commanding 23-12 win. One more loss and she's out of the double-elimination tournament.
The Trials, held at the Northern Quest Resort outside of Spokane, Wash, will run through the weekend, if necessary. The last contender to avoid two defeats wins.
Miller is one of eight middleweights hoping to land a spot on Team USA and compete in what will be an historic 2012 Summer Games in London, where women's boxing will be included on the roster of Olympic events for the first time.
The winners from the three weight classes at the Trials will go onto China in May for the 2012 World Championships, the sole qualifying event to get into the Olympics.

A 49-year-old man facing 17 felony charges ranging from sexual abuse to child pornography has entered a plea agreement that could give him 2 1/2 years in prison for his relationship with a teenage girl.
Frederick L. Wigg, a former motor route carrier for the Juneau Empire, agreed last week to plead guilty to one count of second-degree sexual abuse of a minor and one count of sexual exploitation of a minor.
The agreement calls for four years in prison with two years suspended on each charge. With all but six months of the sentences to be served at the same time, Wigg would see 2 1/2 years behind bars.
Juneau Superior Court Judge Patricia Collins scheduled sentencing for Feb. 26.
A grand jury indicted Wigg in June 2003 on three counts of second-degree sexual assault of a minor, seven counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, and seven counts of possessing child pornography.
The sexual-abuse charges allege sexual activity with the girl before she turned 16. According to court records, the relationship began when the girl was 14.
The exploitation and pornography charges relate to seven sexually-oriented Polaroid snapshots Wigg allegedly took of the girl that were seized in May 2003 by officers serving a search warrant on his home.
In pretrial legal arguments, prosecuting and defense attorneys didn't dispute that the sexual activity between Wigg and the girl, now 18, was consensual.
The Empire is not releasing the name of the girl, who in June 2003 told a reporter that Wigg was her first love. She said she agreed to break off the secret affair until she turned 18 but contacted police and the Empire after finding out he was seeing another woman, according to court records.
Affidavits from Public Defender Chris Poag and a private investigator assert that the girl had contacted Wigg's attorney to say she was sorry she had reported Wigg to authorities, and she wished he could be released from jail.
Poag had asked the judge to dismiss the exploitation and pornography charges. Poag argued that the pictures were part of consensual sexual activity that took place after the girl was 16, which was after the period of the alleged sexual abuse.
Collins denied the motion, ruling that the state has an interest in preventing people younger than 18 from being able to consent to their sexual activity being photographed.
Under Alaska law, second-degree sexual abuse of a minor and sexual exploitation of a minor could carry prison sentences of up to 10 years. Possessing child pornography could carry a sentence of up to five years per count.

Energy Future Holdings CEO gets $1 million salary
Published 6:00 pm, Wednesday, January 9, 2008
The new chief executive of Texas' largest power generating company, which used to be called TXU Corp., will make a salary of $1 million and could get annual bonuses up to $2 million.
Energy Future Holdings Corp. disclosed John F. Young's compensation in a filing Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Young, 51, was named the new company's first CEO and president earlier this week. He is expected to start Jan. 29, and will also be a director. He is a former executive at Exelon Corp., a Chicago-based electric utility.
Under a five-year contract, Young can earn cash bonuses up to twice his salary for hitting performance goals set by the board of directors. Energy Future Holdings said Young agreed to buy at least $3 million worth of common stock in the privately held company, and he will get options to acquire additional shares.
If Young is fired without cause or resigns "for good reason" in the next two years, he would get two and one-half times his annual salary and bonus target, the company said.
Executive compensation was a controversial topic at TXU. For 2006, CEO C. John Wilder got compensation valued at $17.12 million, mostly in stock awards, and was expected to get at least $277 million worth of stock when he left the company, according to regulatory filings.
Energy Future Holdings acquired TXU last year in a $32 billion private buyout. Energy Future Holdings was formed by investors including private equity firms Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and TPG, formerly Texas Pacific Group, and investment bank Goldman Sachs.

The end of the first week of Ramadan as is the case every year, mistakes are revealed in most TV series. These mistakes range from recording errors to airing at wrong times, in turn loosing viewer credibility. These problems arise due to the fact that shooting of scenes for most dramas are being done on a daily basis and aired on the same day of their recording. This in turn does not leave sufficient time for any real editing to be done.
The Egyptian daily Al Akhbar, reported that in the TV series "Zaman Emad El Din" (Emad El Din's Era), the director forgot to place one of the main star's name Faieq Azeb and other new faces in the credits at the beginning and end of the series. The daily also reported that Fathi Bashooki, the scriptwriter for the series, has filed a complaint against the director Hani Lashin, to the Production Company, saying he did not receive the proper exposure. The series is currently being aired on Nile TV.
"Yahia Al Adel" (Long Lives Justice) starring Mervat Ameen, has also revealed mistakes in its airing. The director Mohammad Abdul Aziz along with the crew for the series, realized that due to excessive commercial breaks the series is prolonged till Iftar (Breaking of Fasting) causing viewers to stop watching the drama. For this reason the series will be aired ten minutes earlier everyday to give enough time for viewers to watch it without having to cut it short.
Another series, which has faced the same time problem, is "Juha Al Masri" (The Egyptian Juha) aired on Egypt's channel two. The drama was being aired during the dinner, last prayer, time when viewers are occupied with their praying. The series has moved its airing time to the afternoon where there is no occupation of interference with prayer times.
The Egyptian daily Al Akhbar, reported that in a number of TV series, due to lack of time to finish up most of the shooting for the Ramadan TV programs, actors are still in the studios shooting scenes. Due to the extensive works by most actors, directors, and producers, time has not been on the side of many of them. Since Ramadan is set by a specific date and is only thirty days, the risk of not making any mistakes while shooting is quite high as actors have to put extra effort to complete their work with the quality viewed so far. –Albawaba.com

Near-record amount of waste pesticides collected & destroyed
BISMARCK – Almost 125 tons of unusable pesticides were collected and shipped out of North Dakota in the 2013 Project Safe Send collections.
"This year's total is the second highest since the program was started in 1992," said Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring. "Together with 2012's record total, almost 270 tons of unusable pesticides have been collected in the past two years. It demonstrates the need for this program that enables people to get rid of products they can no longer use or do not need safely and affordably."
The collections were conducted during July in 12 communities: Adams, Ashley, Bowman, Casselton, Cooperstown, Grand Forks, Jamestown, Kenmare, Minot, Underwood, Wahpeton and Watford City.
Casselton recorded the largest collection with 57,313 pounds. Grand Forks was second with 35,183 pounds of unusable pesticides.
Goehring said most of the collected pesticides – agricultural and home products that control plant and animal pests, such as insects, weeds, fungi and rodents – are no longer registered for use in North Dakota or have been damaged or are no longer of use to their owners."
Some banned products such as DDT, and cyanide compounds were collected.
Veolia Environmental Services, Blaine, MN, was contracted by the North Dakota Department of Agriculture to collect, repackage and transport the waste chemicals to incinerators.
Project Safe Send is funded entirely by fees paid by pesticide manufacturers to register their products in North Dakota.
