This program is designed to help reduce employee and student exposure to occupational air contaminants such as: dust, fumes, mists, gasses, vapors, microorganisms, and radionuclides. Where feasible, exposure to contaminants will be eliminated by either engineering controls (i.e., general and local exhaust ventilation, enclosure, or isolation), or substitution of a less hazardous process or material. When effective engineering controls or substitution are not feasible, use of personal protective respiratory equipment may be required. The purpose of this program is to determine the following information:
This program shall be administered pursuant to the requirements of the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard, 29CFR 1910.134 (Revised April 8, 1998) attached to this document.
Table of Contents
Yeshiva University is committed to maintaining a healthful and safe work environment. Yeshiva University is responsible for establishing this respiratory protection program to assist in reducing or eliminating workplace exposure to hazardous materials.
The Environmental Health and Safety Department (EH&S):
The EH&S Department is responsible for the management of this program. Specific employees in the Department have responsibilities as follows:
The YU Safety Specialist and Albert Einstein College of Medicine Industrial Hygienist are charged with the following responsibilities:
Supervisors are charged with the responsibility to:
Employees have the responsibility to:
The Medical Exam contractor has the responsibility to:
Evaluation of Potential Hazards:
Operations and processes will be monitored for potential respiratory hazards, according to accepted industrial hygiene practices.
Personal sampling equipment may be used in accordance with accepted industrial hygiene standards to sample an area. Decisions regarding the use of respiratory protection may be based upon these results or by a reasonable and conservative estimate of these hazards.
Respirator use is mandatory in areas considered hazardous and will comply with 29 CFR 1910.134 or 1926.110.
Voluntary use of respirators is not permitted in areas that are considered non-hazardous at YU and Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Types of respirators:
Atmosphere or air-supplying respirators provide breathable air from a source of air which is independent from the ambient atmosphere. There are three classes of atmosphere-supplying respirators:
Combination air-purifying and atmosphere-supplying devices have an auxiliary air-purifying attachment, which provides protection in the event the air supply fails.
Respirators currently approved by Environmental Health and Safety Department are:
The following cartridges are available at the EH&S Department. Listed are their colors and usage:
Selection of Respirators:
Wherever respiratory protection is required, NIOSH-approved respirators, appropriate to the hazards, shall be selected by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine EH&S Department.
Selection is based upon physical and chemical properties of air contaminants and concentration levels likely to be encountered by employees.
Respirators will be made immediately available to each new hire or transferee to a job where respiratory protection is required.
Respirators shall be selected in compliance with all relevant regulatory requirements (29CFR 1910.134 and 29CFR 1926.1101).
Areas where respirators may be required:
Respiratory protection shall be required in any work area that has the potential to create an environment where the atmospheric contamination levels exceed the OSHA permissible exposure limits (PELs) for the specific contaminant.
Respiratory protection is always required to be worn in accordance with 29CFR 1926.1101 in any area where workers' tasks may disturb known or potential asbestos-containing material.
Self-contained breathing apparatuses may be required to be worn when filtered respirators are not adequate. These may include areas with insufficient oxygen, where contaminants are at a level Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH), or the contaminant levels are unknown.
For N95 Respirator users
Prior to the issuance of a respirator all employees shall complete a medical questionnaire. (See 29 CFR 1910.134 Appendix C.) This questionnaire must be approved by a Physician or Licensed Health Care Professional (PLHCP) before issuance of an N95 respirator.
Medical examinations will be given to any employee at the discretion of the PLHCP.
For Half-Face, Full-Face, PAPR, and SCBA Respirator users
Prior to the issuance of a respirator all employees shall complete a medical questionnaire, (See 29 CFR 1910.134 Appendix C.), and receive a medical exam to determine the employee's physical ability to wear a respirator. This exam shall be provided without cost to each eligible employee.
Content of Medical Evaluations:
The proper fit of respiratory equipment to the user is determined by a qualitative fit test procedure according to 29 CFR 1910.134 Appendix A.
Employees who take part in this program are not permitted to wear beards unless they provide:
Employees must provide EH&S with a written personal statement for a religious exemption and a written physician's statement for a medical exemption. Respiratory protection for these employees will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Fit testing shall be performed according to the following schedule:
Employees are responsible to check their respirators for fit prior to each use by performing negative and positive seal checks as described in 29 CFR 1910.134 Appendix B-1. If these checks are not successful, the respirator should not be used.
Employees must pass both the medical examination and the fit test in order to wear a respirator.
Employees may not wear a respirator if they have facial hair which comes between the sealing surface of the facepiece and the face or any condition which interferes with the face to facepiece seal or valve function.
Employees who wear respirators are permitted to leave the regulated area to wash their faces and respirator facepieces as necessary. This may be done to prevent skin irritation associated with respirator use or to change the filter elements if a change in breathing resistance or chemical vapor breakthrough is detected.
Every employee is required to perform a negative and positive seal check prior to respirator use.
All respirators shall be maintained using the procedures in 29 CFR 1910.134 Appendix B-2 or procedures recommended by the manufacturer, provided that such procedures are of equivalent effectiveness. The following methods shall be used to maintain the equipment:
Cleaning/Disinfecting:Respiratory equipment shall be washed thoroughly in warm water with detergent, using a soft brush. Detergents with a bactericide are preferable. If detergent with a bactericide is not used, the detergent wash shall be followed with a disinfecting rinse. Components shall be hand-dried with a clean lint free cloth or air dried before assembly.
Storage:Dry, clean, disinfected respirators shall be sealed in clean plastic bags out of direct sunlight with the facepiece and exhalation valve in a non-distorted position.
Repair:Repair and replacement of damaged parts must be done before the respirator can be used. Replacement parts must be those of the manufacturer of the equipment. Replacement parts are available from either Engineering or the EH&S Department. Repairs or replacement must be performed by a qualified individual.
Inspection Procedures:All respirators shall be inspected by each user before and after each use and during cleaning. The following items will be examined during inspection:
Head Strap
Inhalation/Exhalation valves
Filter elements
All employees in the program will be trained annually in the proper use and care of their respiratory equipment that have been assigned to them.
Training will include the following elements:
The training shall be conducted in a manner that is understandable to the employee.
The employer shall provide the training prior to requiring the employee to use a respirator in the workplace.
Surveillance of the workplace will be conducted by the EH&S Department on an ongoing basis to determine the necessity of respiratory protection.
This program will be reviewed and updated periodically via:
Records will be maintained at the EH&S and will include the following:
All written materials are available at the YU and Albert Einstein College of Medicine Environmental Health and Safety Office upon request.
EH&S can be contacted at (718) 430-4150 for questions or clarifications regarding this Respiratory Protection Program.

NEW YORK (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton's book "Hard Choices" is on track to be one of the year's top nonfiction books despite another slip in sales.
Nielsen BookScan says "Hard Choices" sold 26,000 copies during its third week of publication.
Clinton's memoir about her years as secretary of state was published June 10 and sold more than 80,000 copies the first week and nearly 50,000 the second week. The numbers don't include e-book sales, which comprise around 30 percent of the overall market.
"Hard Choices" has been the No. 1-selling nonfiction hardcover on The New York Times' list for three straight weeks but has slipped on Amazon.com, ranking No. 57 as of Thursday night.
Clinton's "Living History" was published in 2003 and sold more than 1 million copies.

Good Qualitative Text
Author: Alex Brown
Posted: June 16, 2006 at 4:21PM
I used this text for my 200 level Spec. Relativity class, and it is excellent and qualitatively explaining the subject matter. It reads well, and there are brief interruptions of the text by a bird, who helps to dispel misinterpretations you may have about the previous section. This text would be excellent when used in addition to another book or on its own. It gives you the quantitative tools needed for S.R. calculations, but it really shines as a qualitative explaination.
Good intro to relativity
Author: Andrew
Posted: July 28, 2006 at 2:02PM
This text is excellent for introducing students to special relativity. It is easy to read, easy to understand, and explains without sounding overly technical. The examples and problems are classic, illustrating the complexities of relativity with the use of simple math.

Spectacular Erick Torres bicycle kick puts WFC in a hole early
Rise to the occasion
To say this is a big game would be a big understatement.
Both teams are sitting just outside the playoff picture with 37 points apiece. They each only have eight matches remaining. After Saturday's contest, Dallas has two tough road games and this is our first of three straight matches away from home.
Both teams will be very anxious to get off to a fast start and not have to chase the game. We already know the 'Caps have conceded goals in the first five minutes in each of their previous two outings, and we just can't afford for that to happen again.
It's going to be hot and humid in Texas and if we surrender an early goal then the conditions are going to feel that much worse. On the other hand, if we start the match well and maybe get an early goal, then it will have the reverse effect.
At this point in the season, we just need to get points on the board – it doesn't matter how we do it. But starting the game on the front foot will make the job a lot easier.
Ferreira scores a late game-winner against Chivas USA
David Ferreira
FC Dallas will be without leading scorer Blas Perez, who is away on international duty, and forward Kenny Cooper, who is suspended. This means they will be leaning heavily on David Ferreira to be their attacking threat.
Ferreira likes to play in the number 10 role right behind the striker, where he can pick the ball up in between the opposition defence and midfield and then use his creativity to carve out chances for his teammates. It's something he has done well this season, leading the team with eight assists. There's no doubt Dallas will be looking to him to work his magic in what could be a very tight game.
The responsibility will often fall on our defensive midfielder to pick him up when he drops deep, or to try and cut off his supply. Communication will also play a big part in nullifying the Colombian, as our defenders and midfielders need to let each other know when he drifts into their area.
It's going to take more than one 'Caps player to stop Ferreira, but if we can make sure he's not the one who beats us it could result in some much-needed points on the road.
'Caps earn a scrappy road point last month in Portland
Battle ready
In reality, being on the road might help this team right now.
At home, sometimes there's a need to entertain. We can go into Dallas with only one goal in mind: to win any way we can.
A game like this can really bring a team together, as you are away from home with no distractions in front of a hostile crowd. Even though Dallas are at home, there is pressure on both teams to get a result, but if we can frustrate the home team and get the fans riled up that would greatly help our cause.
Starting this three-game road trip with a positive result is a must and it doesn't matter how we get it. We need to be ready to battle and scrap for every ball, make the game ugly and capitalize on any chances that come our way. The longer this game goes in that manner, the better it is for us.
We need to make this a battle to get at least a point or even three.

From The Files Of July 23, 1992
'92 The Clinton-Gore Campaign Caravan made an unannounced stop in Fulton County last Saturday afternoon, July 18. The 18 buses carrying the Democratic presidential and vice presidential candidates, along with their wives, campaign aides, national press and Secret Service agents, rolled into the Sideling Hill Plaza on the Pennsylvania Turnpike around 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. Gov. Bill Clinton exited the first bus, called the Flagship, immediately upon arrival and plunged into the crowd which, during the course of the afternoon, had swollen to well over 200. The candidates did not enter the plaza restaurant but shook hands with supporters, tossed a football on the plaza's lawn and were treated to fruit and beverages in a tent which had been erected for their stop. The candidates and their wives spoke with both the national and local press during their stop which lasted approximately one hour. Fulton County's Democratic Party vice chairperson Althea DeShong, party secretary Kate Berkstresser and committeemen Rich Doney and Robert Covert were on hand to greet the candidates.

30 Years Ago
From The Files Of July 29, 1982
The long, hot days of summer continue but rain is much needed at this point. The brief showers tend only to increase the humidity and bring out the bugs.
JLG Industries slashed its workforce to the bone at its McConnellsburg plant Wednesday afternoon with the layoff of about 375 production and office personnel, leaving only a skeleton force of about 150 to man the plant and company headquarters for the next two months. "Continued softness in domestic demand necessitated this action," company President John L. Grove said, in announcing the shutdown.
For the past 15 years, Charles and Betty Baum have come to their Fulton County summer home to escape the city life of Essex, Md. This escape has meant even more to them during the last two years because since then a major expressway has come to a T-intersection right in front of their house, and their yard has frequently been invaded by cars and trucks failing to negotiate the sharp turns. But the sanctuary that Fulton County offered was rudely shattered last Saturday afternoon when an out-of-control car hurtled off Black Oak Ridge Road and onto the Baum's farm, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. Baum said he had stopped mowing in order to get a glass of water at a neighbor's. While there, he heard a crash and ran back to his place, but didn't see any damage until he noticed that the heavy wood gate across his driveway was scattered all over his yard. Then he noticed that several of his trees, including an 8-foot red maple, had been uprooted. Finally, he saw that a wide path had been cut through his cornfield; he walked down the path and saw a car at the foot of a 100-foot embankment. The driver, Frederick Lee Placka II, 19, of Dana Point, Calif., and Robert Lee Shaw, 17, of Hancock, were not injured. The front left tire on Placka's Firebird blew out and he lost control. After striking a tree on the right side of the road, he careened across the road on to Baum's property.

AUBURN — An independent investigation has deemed Auburn Road Agent Michael Dross was not involved with illegal dumping at the town's closed landfill.
The Auburn Board of Selectmen agreed to release details of the investigation after reviewing the information at its Monday, Feb. 24 meeting.
"We believe the investigation was very thorough and provided us with a good base of knowledge," said Auburn Town Administrator Bill Herman. "Obviously, something went on there that we hope to see rectified, but from the town's perspective, we're certainly pleased with the end result, particularly that our elected road agent was not guilty of what he was accused of for the past seven or eight months."
"It's been hell," said Dross, who said he's currently weighing legal action against his accusers. "It wasn't right what happened to me. The whole time, I'm just trying to do my elected job, and I've had to deal with all this."
The investigation — which included interviews with 19 people — was conducted by attorney Craig L. Staples, who was hired last November after a reported conflict of interest arose between the Auburn Police Department and the town's highway department, including Dross.
"This first came to the town's attention in May or June of last year, when police told us they were conducting a criminal investigation into the matter," Herman said. "At some point during that process, it became clear there was some animosity between the two departments and, at the request of selectmen, we hired an independent investigator to look into the matter."
According to the report, one of Dross' private contractors, Darren Wetherbee, was the confidential source who spurred the initial police investigation. "It is my opinion more probable than not that the waste was buried by Wetherbee; he was not involved with or authorized by Dross," Staples wrote.
"I'm glad the selectmen finally went to an independent investigator, and if you read the report, you see this was a very thorough investigation," Herman said. "I'm just happy it's finally over."
The report may be complete, but the town is still on the hook for thousands, said Herman, who explained the cleanup and removal of the solid waste, which involved strict standards from Department of Environmental Services, cost $20,500. The town also spent $4,523 for the testing of ash from road paving, which was alleged to have come from the town's incinerator. The allegations proved false.
In addition, Staples was hired at a rate of $225 an hour. Herman said he's unsure of the final cost of the investigation, but estimated the expense may be in the vicinity of $25,000.
Selectmen are able to offset some of the costs due to a $27,372 payment recently received in 2013 from the state in association with the landfill closure five years ago. The remaining balance, Herman said, will likely be paid through the town's operating budget.
In addition to releasing the report to the public and sharing it with the Rockingham County Attorney's Office, Herman said selectmen referred the findings to Police Chief Edward Picard for "any action he would deem appropriate."
The town is considering legal action in an effort to recoup some of the costs associated with the solid waste removal and investigation, said Herman.
Calls to Chief Picard and Wetherbee were not immediately returned.

The "Boss" wasn't powerful enough to keep his Starz series on the air.
Kelsey Grammer won a Golden Globe for his role in the series as fictional Chicago Mayor Tom Kane, a ruthless survivor in the cutthroat world of city and Illinois politics.
"After much deliberation, we have made the difficult decision to not proceed with 'Boss,'"Starz said in a statement Tuesday. "We remain proud of this award-winning show, its exceptional cast and writers, and are grateful to Kelsey Grammer, Farhad Safinia and our partners at Lionsgate TV."
Things didn't look good for the Chicago-set and -filmed series from the start of its second season. Ratings for the premiere earned just half of the viewers as the series premiere a year earlier. While repeat and On-Demand viewings helped its numbers, they weren't enough to save it.
A source at Starz tells me that discussions for a two-hour conclusion to the series are underway, but there's no deal yet. "[That's] a bit far off," my source said.
"Boss" employed several Chicago actors in prominent roles, including Mary Hollis Inboden and Steppenwolf Theatre vets Amy Morton, Francis Guinan and James Vincent Meredith.
"Boss" joins the ranks of cancelled Chicago-filmed shows such as "The Playboy Club" and "The Chicago Code." Fox's "The Mob Doctor" is still fiming locally but not likely to return after its initial 13 episodes. NBC's "Chicago Fire" has been picked up for a full season, and is currently filming here. Showtime's "Shameless" still films exteriors here, and MTV is airing the first season of "Underemployed," which was filmed here this summer.
Fox's "The Mob Doctor" is likely to join "Boss" in the cancelled heap. It's wrapping up filming the first season now, but it isn't likely to come back after its initial 13-episode order.

Unknown to over 2 billion people around the world, a Handling Specialty custom engineered and manufactured scissor lift premiered at the Atlanta Olympics opening ceremony. Singer Gladys Knight rose out of the ground on a 2,500 lb capacity scissor lift custom engineered and manufactured by Handling Specialty.
Rising to a height of 144", the hydraulically-actuated lift emerged from a retractable hatch in the stadium floor. Handling Specialty engineers developed the triple-stage scissor lift so that it could achieve impressive speed and motion control. The lift was considered key to both the opening and closing ceremonies.

NEW YORK (AP) — Two popular reality shows made a splash upon their re-entry during the past week — and a new one had a strong debut.
A new episode of "Dancing With the Stars" premiered on ABC last week before 17 million viewers, just behind CBS drama "NCIS" as the week's most popular program. It was down to 14.5 million Monday night, facing competition from the return of "The Voice" on NBC.
"The Voice," with Usher and Shakira as new cast members, premiered its spring season before 13.6 million on Monday, the Nielsen company said. Those are welcome numbers for NBC, which has been starved for viewers.
There's also likely to be a healthy rivalry with Fox's "American Idol" for the rest of the TV season. "Idol" reached 12.9 million viewers last Wednesday and 11.9 million viewers for its Thursday edition. Fox points out that when "Idol" debuted its new season in January, it did so with nearly 18 million viewers, far more than "The Voice."
NBC is encouraged by the relatively youthful appeal of its show. An estimated 6.1 million viewers of "The Voice" on Monday were in the 18-to-49-year-old demographic that advertisers seek. "Idol" last Wednesday had 4.5 million young viewers. "Dancing With the Stars" skews much older; its viewership in the young demographic was 3.1 million on Monday.
ABC's new series "Splash," with celebrities like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Louie Anderson and Keshia Knight Pulliam displaying their diving prowess, reached just over 9 million viewers with its first episode last week. That may not sound like much, but it was more than all but two of the network's scripted series last week.
In the week's ultimate reality show — the frenetic first week of the NCAA men's basketball tournament — Nielsen said viewership on CBS and its partner networks was up 9 percent over last year.
For the week in prime time, CBS averaged 8.5 million viewers (5.3 rating, 9 share). ABC was second with 7.5 million viewers (4.8, 8), Fox had 5.9 million (3.6, 6), NBC had 4.2 million (2.7, 4), the CW had 1.4 million (0.9, 1) and ION television had 1.2 million (0.8, 1).
Among the Spanish-language networks, Univision led with an average of 3.6 million viewers (1.9, 3), Telemundo had 1.3 million (0.7, 1), UniMas had 550,000 (0.3, 1), Estrella had 200,000 (0.1, 0) and Azteca 70,000 (0.0, 0).
NBC's "Nightly News" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 8.4 million viewers (5.7, 11). ABC's "World News" was second with 7.8 million (5.2, 11) and the "CBS Evening News" had 6.6 million viewers (4.4, 8).
A ratings point represents 1,147,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 114.7 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.
For the week of March 18-24, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: "NCIS," CBS, 19.79 million; "Dancing With the Stars," ABC, 17.06 million; "NCIS: Los Angeles," CBS, 16.84 million; "American Idol" (Wednesday), Fox, 12.94 million; "American Idol" (Thursday), Fox, 11.93 million; "Criminal Minds," CBS, 11.58 million; "Castle," ABC, 11.26 million; "The Walking Dead," AMC, 10.99 million; "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," CBS, 10.53 million; "60 Minutes," CBS, 10.5 million.
ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co. CBS is owned by CBS Corp. CW is a joint venture of Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corp. Fox and My Network TV are units of News Corp. NBC and Telemundo are owned by Comcast Corp. ION Television is owned by ION Media Networks. TeleFutura is a division of Univision. Azteca America is a wholly owned subsidiary of TV Azteca S.A. de C.V. History is owned by the A&E Television Networks; AMC is owned by AMC Networks.

How to prepare a wall for painting
While it can be tempting to get painting as soon as possible when you want to decorate a room, it's worth taking the time to make sure your room and surfaces are best prepared before you begin. Getting the preparation right is crucial to achieving the perfect finish. It'll also help to keep things neater and cleaner, and reduce the need for additional coats of paint. No paint can completely cover dirty or uneven surfaces, so tackling this at the start of the project avoids the need for extra work later on.
In this guide we'll walk you through the most important steps to take, and show you how to;
- Empty your room ready for decorating, and protect fixtures and fittings you aren't painting
- Clean your walls to help paint adhere
- Fill holes and cracks and smooth your walls for the best possible finish
- Prime stained surfaces or those which have not been painted before
Once you've completed these tasks you should have a smooth, even surface ready to be painted.

2007 Softball Outlook:
After winning seven of its last eight games to close out the 2006 regular season, the ETSU softball team carried the momentum into the Atlantic Sun Tournament and finished one game shy of making tournament championship. Despite the third-place finish, the Bucs made tremendous strides during the season as they were picked to finish 10th in the A-Sun preseason poll and ended tied for sixth at the end of the 2006 campaign.
Entering year two at the helm, head ETSU softball coach Andrea Mangrum and her staff hope to carry the momentum into the 2007 season and look to build off last year's late success. The Bucs will have new look this season as they lost 10 letterwinners from the squad they had a year ago, but Mangrum's staff was busy in the off-season as they brought in eight talented freshmen to fill the gaps. The Bucs can expect to get solid performances from their returning players as senior Stephanie Gaynord (
"As a coach you always preach to your kids to finish strong, we want to start strong and keep climbing throughout the season," added head coach Mangrum. "We were preseason picked at sixth in the Conference this year so that tells me two things: We have earned respect from last season's late success, and we will over achieve what is expected of us from our conference opponents."
Below is a breakdown of each ETSU player and what the Buccaneers can expect from them this season.
Stephanie Gaynord (SS)- Top returnee from last year and the team MVP, Gaynord also broke the single season homerun record. She started every game last season at short, and led the team offensively with a .313 batting average. The senior broke the single season record in home runs (11) and slugging percentage (.593). Gaynord is the team captain, and can expect an even better year in 2007 as she enters her final season at ETSU.
Allison Burnette (
Stephanie Cope (OF) - Cope improved tremendously throughout last year's season both offensively and defensively, while playing in 50 games and starting in 47. She shared time in the outfield and will compete for a spot out there this season.
Amanda Haverman (P/OF) - Haverman had numerous game winning hits last year for the Bucs, including two against Stetson. ETSU was the only conference team to sweep the Hatters in the regular season. Her primary role is designated hitter, and she did an excellent job keeping the Bucs in some big games last season. As a second-year player, she was named to Georgia Tech's all-tournament team, as well as receiving Player of the Week honors in the A-Sun.
Briana Knight (2B/OF) - Started every game at 2B last year, and was very strong and consistent last season at the plate and on the field. Knight was named to
Brittany Richardson (
Jessica Hackworth (
Kate Powell (Johnson City) CF - Worked her way into a stating position in the outfield last season, and was a key component to the strong finish last season with her defensive skills in center. Powell is one of the fastest players on the roster this year so the Bucs will be expecting that speed to be a crucial component in its success in 2007.

2007 Schedule Breakdown
With no home games until March 13th, the Bucs hope that playing a lot of tough competition on the road early will pay off when conference play begins the middle of March. ETSU will play two Top-25 teams in the first week of its season, as they will see
"We want to be put to the test early so that when we step out of the fire, we will be stronger for our conference opponents, said coach Mangrum. By facing some great competition the team's character will shine and grow to higher levels."
To go along with the tough non-conference schedule, the Bucs will be playing
"We love playing a team that make us better and that is why we play a tough non-conference schedule early on in the year, added Mangrum. "We want to get better every day during this season. Our themes for this year are "believe" and "work like an underdog, play like a champion." This is the confidence that fuels our players to trust in their efforts and preparation."

I wrote about this a few weeks ago, but the H&M/Brick Lane Cycles clothing range has gone on sale today and you look at all the items and check out all the prices here.
In case you missed the launch.
The spin is that each item has been designed with the needs of modern cyclists in mind. So the items are technically suited to cycling, but still ideal for wearing all day long.
Included are water repellent rider jackets and articulated blazers, caps and more. But is is the vintage-inspired bike jerseys that caught our eye. These are very classy and are made from a mix of Merino wool and recycled polyester.
Describing the range the company says
Shirts come quilted for colder days and in plaid checks with reinforced patches on the lower sleeves. The crewneck top has a zip and ventilation holes, as well as sleeves cut for extra mobility, while the rider T-shirt has a functional pocket on the back. Rider's trousers similar to a functional chino. Legs are cut for slightly bended knees, a reinforced crotch, and reflective tape seams on the inside leg which are visible when rolled up for extra safety.
I really like this three button tweed style grey jacket. It looks pretty smart for cycling gear is stretch cotton so it moves with you was you cycle and is made from almost all lightweight cotton. And it is a very reasonable £39.99 too.

EDMONTON - The Killicks could be the most balanced family you'll ever meet — and not just because of the hot yoga all six of them do together.
Like other families, their lives are busy, but not hectic, because they control how busy they want to be, explains Dad, Tyler. Instead of everyone running in different directions, they're running the same way most of the time, and that's a very calming thing.
The calmness is palpable in their warm and inviting acreage home that sits outside of Stony Plain, a 45-minute drive southwest of Edmonton. The Killicks are gathered in the family room off the kitchen. Besides Tyler, 44, there's mom Glenna, 43, and their four kids — Von, 21, Gil, 17, Sami, 15 and Tobi, 13.
They banter, finishing each other's sentences and stories about shared experiences, of which there are lots because as Ty puts it, "we do everything together."
Besides the hot yoga classes three times a week at Bikram Yoga West Edmonton, there's the family plumbing and heating business they run from the house, the homeschooling, and the DiSplaCeD iSlanDerS, the indie/alternative/rock family band the kids sing and play in.
Where other families can count the number of precious hours they spend together, the Killicks count the number of hours they're apart — about two hours a day.
"We're totally opposite that way," observes Glenna, noting some people are weirded out by all that family time.
"Sometimes people are shocked that we all watch a movie together," adds Sami.
The Killicks, who are Christian but not affiliated with any church, have always been close since Ty and Glenna decided to home-school their kids. It gave them the flexibility to spend time together around Ty's job, which sometimes took him away from home for days or weeks at a time.
They started out living on Vancouver Island — the kids were all born in Cowichan Valley — but tough economic times brought them to the town of Devon in 2000. They bought the acreage and built their house eight years ago.
Ty introduced the family to hot yoga after a customer in the city noticed how bent over he was because his back was out of shape. A massage would help, she told him, but it would be temporary relief.
What he needed was a lifestyle change, something good that he could physically do for his body three to six hours a day. She gave him a pass for he and Glenna to try the Bikram studio, and the couple finally found something they could do as a family that benefits everyone.
It's also something the kids can do for life, into their 80s and 90s, Glenna notes. Ty says he didn't know what to expect but yoga has turned out to be "the most voluntary pain I've ever signed up for. It was such a challenge."
Glenna admits she wasn't a fan at first because she doesn't like heat (the studio can get up to 40 degrees C), but she appreciated all the good it was doing her family — it's a great way to detox, she says — and the peaceful 90 minutes where no one, other than the yoga instructor, says a word.
Von, who couldn't touch his feet when he started, demonstrates, while sitting with legs outstretched, how far his hands extend beyond his feet.
"Gil can do a handstand now," Von adds.
And while Ty's back still gives him problems sometimes, he recovers more quickly.
With prodding from their yoga instructors, three of the Killick kids, Von, Sami (the bendiest of the bunch) and Tobi, signed up for the International Yoga Asana Championship in Los Angeles last June. There they met a reporter and photographer from the New York Times, who, intrigued by the Canadian yoga family, arranged to come and spend a day with them back home.
That's how the Killicks happened to make the front cover of the Times' Sunday magazine last month, wearing as little as you possibly can in a family newspaper. A similar photo of them appears here. It's what they wear doing hot yoga.
"It's a very stripped down environment," Ty explains. "You're all standing there basically naked, covered in sweat, there's no hiding anything."
Hockey players, mixed martial artists, even American actors, who you'd recognize and that the Killicks have taken classes with but won't name, "are the same sweaty bag of crap when they're done. They're sucking wind and dying in there too," Ty says with a smile.
Since taking up yoga, the family is more conscious of the food they put in their bodies. They're definitely a lot healthier than they were three years ago, Glenna says.
The Killicks know their family life is unique and special in this day and age, but there was no template for that, Ty says, other than "Ty and I both agreed we're not going to be fearful about parenting," Glenna adds, "and they've hung on to that."
Ty points out that he didn't finish high school, "we don't have any financial or background pedigree, we just wanted our kids to be good contributing citizens, to not be takers, but to be givers."
"Those are the things that are important," Glenna says, "more important than if they're doctors or lawyers."
You'll find a video of the DiSplaCeD iSlanDerS doing yoga and performing their own song, I Love Hot Yoga, on Youtube. They recorded the video at the Bikram Yoga West Edmonton studio last May to thank all the yogis and yoginees in the Edmonton yoga community who helped them raise funds so they could compete in the International Yoga Asana Championship in Los Angeles.
The Killick kids put on a lot of volunteer performances at events in and around Stony Plain and Edmonton.

I'm not wild about cop shows on TV. Most are boring, the format is stale and story lines have become increasingly absurd. Also, I think it's completely insane that there are so many different versions of CSI and Law & Order. Nonetheless, I was excited about two recent cop show episodes – because both featured plots involving industrial agriculture!
The shows (Bones and CSI: Miami) aren't intended to be in-depth examinations of contemporary food production. But the stories include some good information about the ills of industrial ag – and we're always glad when these issues percolate into the public consciousness.
Naturally, after viewing both programs, I felt compelled to pin them head-to-head in an epic showdown for the Best Industrial-Ag-Themed Cop Show Episode of 2009 Award.
Here's the analysis:
Bones – "The Tough Man in the Tender Chicken Suit"
Synopsis : The operator of a chicken factory farm dies. The police suspect fowl play [insert groan]. View the episode.
Thumbs Up:
- Factory Farms – Most people have never seen (or even heard of) factory farms. Big bonus points for giving the issue some exposure on a primetime TV show.
- Animal Welfare – The episode includes footage of extremely crowded conditions in a chicken factory, and notes that each bird has less than 1/2 square foot of living space. Viewers also learn about debeaking, a standard factory farm practice that causes birds to suffer lasting pain.
- Hydrogen Sulfide – The victim's sinuses are deformed as a result of long-term exposure to this toxic gas. Indeed, H2S is among the most hazardous pollutants emitted by factory farms; even low concentrations can cause serious health problems.
- Stench – The factory farm's nasty odor is mentioned repeatedly. This is no exaggeration; the odor from factory farms is repulsive and surprisingly pervasive – and it's not just an annoyance; odor damages human health, degrades surrounding communities, and causes local property values to plummet.
- Workers – The episode touches on the plight of factory farm workers, who earn meager wages despite toiling in dangerous conditions.
- Farm vs. Factory – A distinction is made between traditional farms and factory farms (the chicken CAFO is described as a "different beast," bearing no resemblance to small, free-range farms).
Thumbs Down:
- The Issues – Regrettably, the episode focuses on the animal welfare impacts of factory farms. This is a significant concern, but we wish the writers had emphasized the devastating effects of these facilities on human health and the environment.
- Lunatic Fringe – Leave it to Fox to bust out the classic protester stereotype; the factory farm activists are portrayed as a bunch of deadbeat whack-jobs whose primary objective is to create disruption. In reality, most factory farm activists are normal people who live in the surrounding communities. They're not crazy, violent, anti-agriculture extremists – they just want to protect their families' health and prevent their communities from being turned into cesspools.
- Lame Solution – A lab worker is upset by the treatment of CAFO chickens and decides to take action – by raising $1,500 to save a pig. Granted, there are certainly worse ways to spend $1,500, but there are plenty of more effective methods of fighting factory farms; easiest approach: don't buy the foods they produce. The show makes it seem like factory farmed food is the only option. Obviously, it's not.
- Absurd Murder Weapon – Watch the episode; you'll agree.
CSI: Miami – "Bad Seed"
Synopsis: A woman is killed by E. coli; her boyfriend dies after contracting botulism; CSI traces it all back to a shady corporation involved in factory farming and genetically modified crop production. Visit the CSI: Miami website.
Thumbs Up:
- Food: Behind the Scenes – Most people don't think much about where food comes from or how it's produced. The story highlights the complexity of the modern food system, and the importance of carefully monitoring the system to ensure public safety.
- Independent Contractors – Bixton foods are produced by independent contractors, which reduces the corporation's liability if anything goes wrong. This is standard practice for real-life factory farm corporations, which hire CAFO operators to raise animals, but leave these "independent" contractors responsible for all pollution created in the process.
- Illegal Farm Labor – Though only mentioned in passing, this is an important issue in the U.S.; since many workers lack legitimate legal status, they're easily exploited.
- Beef Feedlot – The source of E. coli in the story. We just wish there'd been more than a split-second shot of the feedlot.
- Corn-Fed Beef – The viewer learns that factory farms feed cows corn to fatten them quickly. Unfortunately, since cows have evolved to eat grass, the unnatural corn diet increases the level of acidity in their digestive tracts, creating perfect breeding grounds for harmful strains of E. coli. Kudos for including this under-reported issue.
- Genetic Engineering – The plot centers around the discovery of a deadly form of genetically modified corn pushed into the market by an unscrupulous agribusiness corporation. Though the details of this scenario are far-fetched, in reality there are legitimate concerns that genetically engineered crops are approved for use without undergoing sufficient testing. The episode also touches on the issue of patented seeds (Bixton sues farmers who unintentionally grew crops from genetically modified Bixton seeds that blew into their fields). This is a not-so-subtle dig at Monsanto. (Oh SNAP!!)
Thumbs Down:
- Big Stretches – An E. coli death treated as a homicide? An agribiz CEO admitting to criminally negligent corporate practices? The source of foodborne illness discovered and the guilty party punished all in an 8-hour workday? Not exactly the most realistic story.
- Not Enough Dirt on Factory Farms – We wish there'd been more detail about the ills of factory farming (air pollution, misuse of antibiotics, irresponsible waste management, etc.).
- Inevitability of Industrial Ag – Bixton's CEO delivers the standard "Big Ag or Death" speech (without industrial ag, food prices would skyrocket, everyone starves, etc.). Would've been great if Horatio had refuted the contentions.
And the winner of the Best Industrial-Ag-Themed Cop Show Episode of 2009 Award is… CSI: Miami, "Bad Seed"!!!!
This is just our verdict…if you watch the shows and care to cast a vote, please do so in the comment section.
Yeah, the plot takes liberties with, you know, science and the real-world characteristics of agribusiness, food safety oversight, government bureaucracy, etc., but we like how the story wove together a wide range of issues to illustrate the complexity and interconnected nature of the problems created by industrial food production. But don't let this go to your head, CSI – if anyone even thinks about launching another new iteration of CSI in some other city, the Best Industrial-Ag-Themed Cop Show Episode of 2009 Award will be rescinded. Immediately.

News items pop up regularly about entire towns and villages going up for sale. In April, Buford, Wyo., sold to a Vietnamese buyer for $900,000. The same month, a couple bought the tiny town of Wauconda, Wash., for $360,000. In May, the French "ghost village" of Courbefy sold to an American photographer for about $643,000.
Why buy a whole town? Many buyers see business potential, seeking to transform an abandoned burg into a tourist destination. One man used his July purchase of the town of Bankersmith to put his brand on the map of central Texas. He changed the name to Bikinis, after his "breastauraunt" chain.
Buying a tiny town or a vacant village is not a sure-fire investment. Actress Kim Basinger bought the town of Braselton, Ga., in 1989 for $20 million, then reportedly sold it in 1994 for only $1 million.
For those who might like to own a town (and perhaps give it a wacky new name) and have at least $250,000 to spend, we offer eight options, including two international villages, shown here from least to most expensive. Have your deposit ready: One of the following towns is up for auction on eBay; another hits the auction block Aug. 15.

God & Man on Wall Street: The Conscience of Capitalism
Craig Columbus & Mark W. Hendrickson
Brick Tower Press, New York, NY; 2012
$17.95; 195 pages
In "God & Man on Wall Street: The Conscience of Capitalism," authors Craig Columbus and Mark W.Hendrickson pose the question "Can the brightest and best of the Millennial generation fix capitalism to make it kinder, gentler and more ethical; and yet preserve Wall Street as the engine of financial growth, prosperity and freedom for individuals enshrined in the only system known to mankind that works — capitalism?"
When I left high school more than a few years ago, I was an idealist, change-the-world type of guy. My background taught me that God and Mammon were mutually exclusive. They are not.
As this book artfully declares, wealth and wealth creation are not in and of themselves against God's wishes. It all depends on what you do with that wealth that matters. We have seen great wealth emanating from Wall Street or Silicon Valley being redistributed by its philanthropic owners to those in need, both within the United States and around the world.
As a first generation immigrant to the United States, I often have observed that great wealth sometimes begets great charity. I, like many before me, have sought to attain the American Dream whereby, in theory at least, anybody has a shot at fame, fortune and happiness, no matter how humble their background. In this little book (195 pages, including chapter by chapter references) the authors use the example of the Great Recession of 2006-2008 to remind Americans that human greed, hubris and political arrogance can seriously dent that dream if not kill it off.
The authors, a Wall Street strategist/financial television commentator (Columbus) and an academic (Hendrickson) at Grove City College, Pa., a liberal arts Christian college that offers undergraduate degrees in business, education and the sciences, ably pick apart the complex series of events that led to the Great Recession — which still exists for millions of Americans — and the fixes that policymakers cobbled together to save capitalism as we (except China) know it.
The book is well-researched, well written and for the most part is easy to read.
No-one comes away from the Great Depression without stain. Not policymakers in Washington DC and in Brussels, not Freddie Mac nor Fannie Mae, and certainly not the 'brainiacs' on Wall Street who created the fiendishly opaque financial instruments known as derivatives. The authors also point the finger at the "get rich quick" citizenry who flocked to buy property and flip it for a profit in the misguided belief the millennial property bubble never would burst.
Columbus and Hendrickson pepper the book with biblical quotes, mostly from the Old Testament, that seek to provide a human face to a monolithic structure that underpins world financial markets. People are good and bad, scrupulous and unscrupulous, open and honest, and in some cases, like Gollum from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, slippery and deceitful.
The authors avow that the Great Recession has left a bitter taste in the mouths of the American public and among many Europeans.This taste boils down to the word "trust," the lack of which has scared many investors away from financial markets and thrust many ordinary Americans into joblessness. It also engendered the Occupy Wall Street movement, which could yet be a force to be reckoned with.
Yet as things change and lessons are learned, so they are quickly forgotten. Markets have rallied, Congress has cracked down on Wall Street (maybe too harshly), the big banks still overpay their top executives and the Federal Reserve maintains interest rates at dangerously low levels.

The Department of Justice said Vice President Dick Cheney's interview with the special prosecutor who investigated the leak of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson is top secret and the document's classified status is the reason the agency has rebuffed demands to turn the document over to Congress.
In a letter sent to the government watchdog group Citizens of Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) said the documents have been withheld, in due part, because it contains information "protected from disclosure by the National Security Act."
"We are withholding the records…because they are protected by the deliberative process, presidential communications, and law enforcement investigative privileges," states the Sept. 18 letter sent by OLC attorney Paul Coborn to CREW chief counsel Anne Weissman. "We are also withholding them…because the records were compiled for law enforcement purposes and their production "could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings." "The Department is concerned that releasing the records could interfere with future Department investigations by discouraging voluntary cooperation.
"Finally, we are withholding portions of the records…because they are classified and contain information protected from disclosure by the National Security Act of 1947."
Henry Waxman, the Democratic chairman of the he House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, subpoenaed Attorney General Michael Mukasey in June for Cheney's interview transcript as well a copy the transcript of President George W. Bush's interview with Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, and the grand jury testimony of Karl Rove, Bush's former top aide.
But Mukasey did not state that the either of the transcripts contained classified information when he refused to comply with Waxman's subpoena. Mukasey advised Bush to assert his executive privilege powers to block release of the transcripts.
"I am greatly concerned about the chilling effect that compliance with the [House Oversight] Committee's subpoena would have on future White House deliberations and White House cooperation with future Justice Department investigations," Mukasey wrote in a letter to Bush on July 16.
Yet Patrick Fitzgerald, the special prosecutor who spent three years investigating White House officials' role in the Plame leak, said in a letter sent to Waxman in July that the interviews he conducted with Bush and Cheney in 2004 were not protected by grand jury secrecy rules and could arguably be turned over to Congress if authorized by the Justice Department.
Moreover, Fitzgerald said that in his capacity as special counsel he did not enter into a pre-arranged agreement with the White House to keep secret Bush and Cheney's interview transcripts.
"I can advise you that as to any interviews of either the President or Vice President not protected by the rules of grand jury secrecy, there were no "agreements, conditions and understandings between the Office of Special Counsel or the Federal Bureau of Investigation" and either the President or Vice President "regarding the conduct and use of the interview or interviews," Fitzgerald's July 3 letter addressed to Waxman says.
Fitzgerald has turned over to Waxman's committee "FBI 302 reports" of interviews with CIA and State Department officials and other individuals involved in the CIA leak, Waxman said in a letter to Mukasey last December.
But "the White House has been blocking Mr. Fitzgerald from providing key documents to the Committee," including transcripts of Fitzgerald's interviews with Bush and Cheney, Waxman said.
Two senior DOJ officials knowledgeable about the CIA leak investigation said Saturday that officials in the Office of the Vice President issued a request to the DOJ recently to classify Cheney's transcript. However, the DOJ officials did not know the exact timing of when the DOJ classified portions of the transcript. A DOJ spokesman did not return calls for comment Saturday.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers has also been actively pursuing the interview transcripts. In June, he issued a subpoena to Mukasey for a wide-range of documents related to Fitzgerald's probe and was also rejected.
Conyers and Waxman's interest in the CIA leak case was revived with the publication in June of former White House press secretary McClellan's memoir which suggested Bush and Cheney played a larger role in the matter than they have admitted publicly.
Conyers was set to hold a vote Sept. 10 on a contempt citation for Mukasey for refusing to turn over the subpoenaed documents to his panel but decided to "defer" the matter when the DOJ reluctantly released 681-pages of documents related to a voter identification law implemented last year in the state of Georgia that the Michigan Democrat had sought.
But in a letter sent to Conyers Sept. 9, Keith Nelson, a deputy attorney general, did not say that Cheney's interview transcript was classified. Nelson said he could not release the document because Bush had already asserted executive privilege.
Senior Bush administration officials disclosed Valerie Plame Wilson's identity to several journalists in June and July of 2003 amid White House efforts to discredit her husband, former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson, for challenging Bush's use of bogus intelligence to justify invading Iraq.
Valerie Plame Wilson's CIA employment was revealed in a July 14, 2003, article by right-wing columnist Robert Novak, effectively destroying her career. Two months later, a CIA complaint to the Justice Department sparked a criminal probe into the identity of the leakers.
Initially, Bush professed not to know anything about the matter, and several of his senior aides, including political adviser Karl Rove and the vice president's chief of staff I. Lewis Libby, followed suit.
However, it later became clear that Rove and Libby had a hand in the Plame leak and that Bush and Cheney had helped organize a campaign to disparage Wilson by giving critical information to friendly journalists.
On June 24, 2004, Fitzgerald interviewed Bush for 70 minutes about the Plame leak. The only other member of the Bush team in the room during the meeting was Jim Sharp, the private lawyer that Bush hired, according to a press briefing by then-press secretary Scott McClellan.
Fitzgerald had interviewed a couple of weeks earlier, Cheney.
According to sources knowledgeable about the vice president's testimony, Cheney was specifically asked about conversations he had with senior aides, including Libby, and queried about whether he was aware of a campaign led by White House officials to leak Plame's identity.
It is unknown how Cheney responded to those questions. Cheney retained a private attorney, Terrence O'Donnell.
At the time of Waxman's comments, Fitzgerald's criminal investigation was still underway, leading to Libby's indictment in October 2005 and his subsequent conviction in March 2007 on four counts of perjury and obstruction of justice.
During closing arguments at Libby's trial, Cheney was implicated in the leak, as Fitzgerald acknowledged that Cheney was intimately involved in the scandal and may have told Libby to leak Plame's status to the media.
Fitzgerald told jurors that his investigation into the true nature of the vice president's involvement was impeded because Libby obstructed justice.
Libby's attorney, Theodore Wells, told jurors during his closing arguments that Fitzgerald had been trying to build a case of conspiracy against the vice president and Libby and that the prosecution believed Libby may have lied to federal investigators and to a grand jury to protect Cheney.
"Now, I think the government, through its questions, really tried to put a cloud over Vice President Cheney," Wells said.
Rebutting Wells, Fitzgerald told jurors: "You know what? [Wells] said something here that we're trying to put a cloud on the vice president. We'll talk straight. There is a cloud over the vice president. He sent Libby off to [meet with New York Times reporter] Judith Miller at the St. Regis Hotel. At that meeting – the two-hour meeting – the defendant talked about the wife [Plame]. We didn't put that cloud there. That cloud remains because the defendant obstructed justice and lied about what happened."
