Rain Recyclers

Oaklanders Learn How to Install Rain Barrels

By Diana Dunn

Oaklanders recently did a rain dance. Water conscious city residents attended a free rain barrel workshop at the end of January hosted by The Watershed Project with help from our partners at the City of Oakland, the Urban Farmer Store, Dig Cooperative, and Merritt College. The free workshop was part of the Oakland Rain Barrel Program (ORBP), which uses federal stimulus funds to offer rain barrels at discounted prices to Oakland residents, primarily those who live on property at risk of erosion.

At the workshop, historical maps showed the transformation of a lush and green Bay Area to highly urban cityscape. Workshop attendees were stunned when Greening Urban Watersheds Project Manager Matt Freiberg pointed out that the City of Oakland is now, "70% impervious, meaning that water that would normally soak into the ground, now rushes over our streets and sidewalks, directly into storm drains." This unnatural water flow leaves local watersheds in bad shape. Rain carries sediment and pollutants from the chemical- and oil-laden city street into local creeks, destroying water quality and reducing habitat for wildlife. Freiberg pointed out that Low Impact Design (LID) projects like rain barrels are "instrumental in restoring and protecting our watersheds because they help slow the flow of water into stormdrains."

Workshop attendees were able to get their hands dirty during a demo installation of a rain barrel with Ingrid Severson from DIG Cooperative. Severson showed workshop attendees how much rain they could collect from their roofs. Participants experienced firsthand how easy it is to install a rain barrel to the downspout from their gutters. They also learned how to link multiple barrels together in a 'daisy chain' in order to increase storage capacity.

Watershed Project Intern Diana Dunn inspired workshop participants to take their rain recycling to the next level. "Your next steps should be baby steps," Dunn told workshop participants. "Rain gardens and bioswales are perfect Low Impact Design (LID) options to be used in conjunction with a rain barrel system, because they require less technical experience." Rain gardens and bioswales typically feature native plants, are installed in a natural depression in the landscape, and can be watered by rain barrel overflow.

Oaklanders learned that there are many green infrastructure options to manage storm water. LID options like green walls and roofs help insulate buildings, and make them more energy efficient by reducing heating and cooling costs. Flow through planters and tree box filters act as reservoirs, where layers of soil and plant roots can filter out some heavy metals and other harmful substances found in rainwater runoff. Pervious paving in parking lots, driveways, or alleys helps rainwater soak into the ground and recharge a parched water table. Workshop attendees were asked to envision Oakland as a city that could be transformed by implementing LID strategies in their community and households.

Become a rain recycler, and participate in the Oakland Rain Barrel Program. Discounts on rain barrels will only last for a limited time, so don't miss out!

So, do sharks eat moose now? We look into it

loading video...

By Nathan Coleman

You probably heard about the shark that was rescued in Newfoundland a week ago, after nearly choking to death on a moose.

Moose meat can be quite a delicacy among hunting enthusiasts, so it's no surprise the ocean apex predator took a bite.

But it doesn't mean we should expect to hear more about the moose-eating sharks of Newfoundland.

Steven Campana of the Bedford Institute of Oceanography said sharks are opportunistic feeders, and probably just happened upon the moose.

"If it had come across a bear or giraffe, it would have eaten that too," Campana said.

Last week, Columbia University mathematician Peter Woit published a note on his blog that he said came to him by way of a commenter. The note is supposedly a leaked internal memo from a team at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, and it suggests that scientists there may have found the Higgs boson--a subatomic particle, sometimes called the "God Particle," that physicists have been trying to observe for years.

Woit was careful to note that the memo was probably "either a hoax, or something that will disappear on further analysis," but the rumor has ricocheted around the science world, and surfaced in general-audience publications like Wired and the Daily Mail. But on blogs run by physicists, the leaked memo is being scrutinized as closely as gossips follow a purported celebrity nude photo: you can find scientists and specialists debating the authenticity of the memo, speculating about the findings therein, and even throwing down cash money in wagers over whether or not the rumor will stand up to scrutiny.

Since we're not physicists, a lot of the technical commentary is opaque to us, though we can understand what James Gillies--a spokesman for CERN, which operates the Large Hadron Collider--told Wired: "It's way, way too early to say if there's anything in it or not ... The vast majority of these notes get knocked down before they ever see the light of day." Still, it's fun to see highly educated professionals going gaga over gossip like this--never has a phrase like "the Smart Set" seemed so appropriate.

3D Printed Quadcopter by wtn Aug 8, 2013

Update 23/12/2013: Added a new video.

This quadcopter is based on MikeyB's original designs with some modifications. I changed some things that I found were problematic to my hardware configuration.

The mount for the kk2 controller was rotated 45 degrees in order to get it to allign forward with an X configuration quadcopter.

Also it features a top mount for an fpv camera, while removing the go-pro mount at the bottom.

Some other minor modifications include new strap holes for battery, and also grooves to keep components from sliding.

The quadcopter was printed on an UltiMax DYI 3D printer.
I also used their filament which printed very well.

I detailed the build on my blog:

Hi I was wondering if you were willing to make one and sell it?

great build but could you put the stl files from the arms please?

Great build, and I've enjoyed reading the process at your blog. Well done!

I'd like to print this on a Makerbot Replicator 2X, but it doesn't support your PRT files. Is there a way to convert these without having the Alibre CAD software?

The Makerbot Repblicator should be able to print the .STL files included. I added the .PRT source files for personal modification, however they require Alibre to modify (You can get a free trial on their site).

Super, I needed the bottom and middle plate - thanks! I am builing Crossfire w/o fpv and camera :)

Interesting mods.... What are you using for landing gear there?

The landing gears are pool noodles with printed tubing fit inside to prevent the zip ties from ripping the foam.

I like the antenna collar! Simple and functional...

First Aid Kit

Some quick steps you can take now to get your practice under control

When I started my consulting firm seven years ago, I went through hundreds of different scenarios of what could happen to advisory firms in the best of times and in the worst of times. I poured through data, research, business management books, and everything else that I could get hold of to come up with practice management models that enable independent advisors to outperform during both up and down markets. We have those models in place today.

What I learned in that process, and has been proven even more through my client work, is that advisory firms suffer from a phenomenon that affects very few other industries. In normal businesses when revenues go up, so does the workload, and decreasing revenues usually means less work. But when advisory firms experience bad economic times the opposite occurs: declining revenues and increased workload.

That's because when revenues are up, the markets are usually up, which makes clients happy, and so the workload is down. Conversely, in turbulent times like these when assets and revenues are down, clients tend to be unhappy, so the workload goes up, often way up. Then, adding to the stress, independent advisors often get a flood of new clients (fleeing their wirehouse brokers) who won't boost revenues for at least a few more months. It can be a flurry of punches that will have an advisory practice reeling.

The most successful advisory practices are already positioned for increased client handholding, so they can take maximum advantage of the opportunity for new clients. Yet, in my experience, the vast majority of advisor practices aren't well positioned to withstand these challenging markets, and it's a little late to suggest a one-year repositioning program. Still, there are some quick steps advisors can take to counter that one-two-three pummeling, and get their practice under control, and ready to take advantage of those new clients.

The long-term solution to the market conundrum is what I call a comprehensive client services program. The biggest problem that advisors face when the markets go south, is the unusually high client demand results in the need for contact with their advisor. The solution is to have high-touch systems already in place, scheduled, and working in your practice: newsletters, reports, client surveys, and group conference calls, all happening regularly and frequently, even in good times. Then when some major crisis does occur, you can adjust your message to address it, and without throwing your staff into a tailspin.

The second biggest problem is new clients. With revenues down, the natural inclination is to try to stop the bleeding with any and all new clients who will fog a mirror. In the relative calm of where ever you're reading this, you can perhaps begin to see the problem here. Setting up new clients into a system is the most labor-intensive thing you and your staff do. And clients who bear little similarity to your existing clients take the most work of all. So, taking on a host of new clients at a time when your practice is already swamped by increased servicing of existing clients (and revenues are falling so you're not likely to be adding any new help), can bring the meltdown from Wall Street to your front door.

To counter this new-clients-at-any-cost impulse, we establish systems that control the growth of practice. Determining your niche, and your target clients is the first step, followed by the discipline of practicing accepting only those clients who are a good fit. Next is controlling the rate at which new clients are added. Predetermining how fast your practice can and should grow based on workload, allows you to be more selective about whom you take. So when the going gets tough, it's a relatively simple matter to determine that whether your practice needs to slow down its growth even further, pushing new clients into the future, and turning away even more prospects.

Of course, putting these systems and procedures in place is all well and good if you have a year or so to create and implement them. The question that most advisors have today is "what can I do now to stabilize my practice and hopefully work on the larger projects when things calm down?" If you don't have a client service program already in place, and are wrestling with myriad client calls and issues, and the temptation to start taking new clients, on top of it all. Here are some steps you should think about taking right now to give your clients what they need, while managing your workload:

o Conduct a client survey. I know, I said manage your workload, but there's no better way to find out what your clients need than to ask them. An e-mail survey doesn't take a lot of time or effort. At a time when clients feel the most needy, just having you ask will go a long way toward calming them down. The last thing you want to do right now is to fail to address their needs, and force them to go looking for an advisor who will.

o Client conference calls. We are in the age of mass media. We now have the technology to get all of your clients on the phone at the same time, so you can deliver your message just once. What's more, having them all on the line together, able to ask questions and comments, gives them a sense of community, and helps them to feel less alone. Having them experience that you actually do have other clients--a lot of other clients--is also a powerful reminder that many other people think you know what you're talking about, too. That never hurts.

o Send out regular client communications. These should be about once a week, by e-mail. Talk about what the markets have done recently, what you think it means, focus on financial goals, and don't forget to ask about any questions or issues they might have that you can help with. Again, most of the content can be used in all client letters, with relatively small sections customized for each client. The point here is that the more they hear from you, proactively, the less they'll feel the need to call you for personalized service. The decrease in workload can be dramatic.

o Segment your clients. While we're talking about personalized service, I suggest you just take a minute or two to make a list of your best clients--the ones you absolutely don't want to lose--so you can make absolutely sure to get them what they need.

o Give timely advice. It's also an excellent idea to give your clients tips on what they should be doing now, such as keep their debt low, stay in their jobs and don't make any other major moves if they can help it, and that they'll probably need to revise their financial plans to reflect lower assets and longer time horizons, and then come to terms with whatever changes in their future that implies. These points don't have to be rocket science, in fact, telling people to do things they are already doing makes them feel good, at a time when feeling good is no small thing. During troubling times, being able to do something always feels better than doing nothing.

o Control growth. Even though you may not have a system in place to do this, you're going to have to make a concerted effort to resist your impulse to take every new client who comes along. Your first priority is to your existing clients: the last thing you want to do is lose some of them. Take the stress pulse of your staff, and get a feel for how much more work they, and you, can handle. Then match the rate of adding new clients to what you all can do without jeopardizing current client service. You might also consider staff bonuses for taking on the extra workload of new clients--especially at time when year-end bonuses probably weren't what anyone expected them to be.

These steps will enable to you to control your workload, focus on high priorities such as your best clients, and hopefully add some new clients to boost your practice when the markets inevitably turn. When the dust settles, you can think about creating more efficient systems to make these solutions a permanent part of your practice, so you can service your clients better, and handle even more new clients. If there's a silver lining in all this, that might well be it.

My girlfriend and i are planning getting married some time in the future, she consider herself christian while i'm a open atheist, but not vocal about it. Obviously, how we'll raise our children has been a topic of discussion; while we agree on the most part, she wants him/her to be a christian from day 1 while i want him/her to decide for him/her self when the time is right be it any religion or none at all.

I'm the only non-religious and anti-religious from both sides of the family, i sometimes think there will be a war over my children's mind and i don't want them to live through that or see their family waging over fables.

What would be the best course of action?

This too is my first reply and i also was urged ti sign up because of your situation to be with your girlfriend.

The advice you have been given is sound, however Fabio gives the best solution. I had to send my daughter to a faith school, as it was a good school, apart from the god bits, but she knows I and her brothers, are atheists.

Welcome Brian.

I think your comment may spark another debate :D Even if a faith school is rated highly enough I still wouldn't send my child to it, sorry. Having been to a faith school & experienced it, im in the 'ban faith schools' corner. Its my view that religion is a place for home (if you are a believer) & should be kept out of educational institutes. Learning about religions, cultures & customs is fine, but only as topical subjects regarding the modern society we live in today.

Hi Stephen

I will not argue with you about faith schools, I went to one, (All my friends that went there, are atheists now) I also agree that faith schools are wrong and serve to split peoples, As for my daughter going to one it will only be for another two years and then she is free.

Ps I am a kind of Pat Condell, Richard Dawkins, and Christopher Hitchins kind of Athest, how do they sit with you ?

Hey Brian,

Its important to teach tolerance of course, thats one way to counter balance & at least understand what you went through. I know many who wouldn't.

Im a huge Hitch admirer, read all his books & essays & I honestly feel he is sadly missed since his death. I never had the chance to see him, but I have seen Dawkins as well as read all his books too. Our species should feel honored to have Hitch & his wonderful mind. As for Pat Condell, he's on my to read list.

Hi, I'm 51 years old and have been married for 29 years... two kids. My sincere advice to you is do not marry this person or at least do not have kids with this person. Sorry, but the truth can hurt. You will never win the battle you are facing, especially when you have already admitted you are the only atheist on both sides of the family. If you care about your future children and want to be a part in raising them, look for a new partner.

Hindsight is 20-20.

And I'm passing on the benefit of having it.

Before your marriage I believe you need to work out ALL the details surrounding your differences about invisible beings. Indoctrination is a necessary tool for the religious and don't kid (unintentional pun) yourself if you think that there won't be any emphasis on getting your child properly indoctrinated. At the very least you need to have a one on one session with your offspring and prepare them for the nonsense they will most assuredly be asked to swallow. Teaching your child to think on their own, critically and free of expectations, is great but they are also very naive creatures at a young age. I expect a certain amount of confusion is going to be present since each parent will be providing different viewpoints on this explosive subject.

Not every child raised in a religious household turns out to be religious. Look at me. I was raised by two devout Catholics with 12 years of private Catholic schooling….. And I turned out ok.

If you want your children to be secularist…perhaps they should walk a few miles in the shoes of religion. My anti-theist ideology is fueled from the knowledge and experience being raised in a religious family.  Don't support your wifes intent to raise the child with religion, but don't hinder it either.

Reading all the wonderful recommendations here should give you an idea of what you have to look forward to. Good luck!

The potential pitfalls that you may face on this subject may changes on a few factors. The first, quite obviously, is your girlfriend. Just how religious she is will matter a lot. At first you said she wasn't very religious, but later you said that she almost broke up with you for questioning Christianity, and that she has tried to convert you as well. To me, that doesn't sound like someone who isn't very religious. She may not be going to church anymore, but the question is why. It could be that you have caused he to doubt. Another is that she's cooling it on the religion stuff a little in order to try and convert you less directly. Or maybe she's made peace with the fact that you are both of different mind on the subject. But it is very very important not to assume to know how religious she really is. Before you get married, please make sure that there won't be any unpleasant surprises waiting for you. But hey, love can be a powerful thing. It certainly is possible that she loves you and truly wants to be with you even if she believes that you are destined for eternal torment. So if she truly does love you for you, and doesn't wish to try and change you (anymore), then there's no real reason not to get married. But kids... If she isn't that religious, a compromise should be possible. The best case would be to raise the child secular, and to let them make up their own mind. State that once he/she decides, you won't stand in their way. The nice bonus is that this gives you a few years to teach skeptical teaching skills. A more balanced approach would be to let them take the child to church, but also allow you to say your piece. You could maybe even agree to go along so long as you are allowed to give your son/daughter the atheist rebuttal to that weeks sermon. But if she is more religious than you think she is, I fear you have a tough road to tread. You'll have to ask yourself if the love you have for her is worth indoctrinating your innocent child into the religious dogma that you reject. I'm not going to pretend that that is an easy question to answer. It isn't. But should the worst case be true, can you live with that? Or would you instead decide to marry but abstain from reproducing? Find a new mate that shares your views? The course of action you take will depend on your feelings and hers as well. If you are 100% sure that she is 'the one', then there's very little you wouldn't do for her. That said, you have probably already done this. Otherwise you wouldn't be here asking this question. Interfaith relationships can work. When we got married, my wife was Wiccan. We've been married for a few years now with no issues. We were open on religion from day one, agreed not to try and convert the other, and we actually agree on much. Today she's would tell you she'd consider herself somewhere between a Wiccan and an atheist. So find out how much, and what her religion means to her. If you can have an open and honest dialogue, I have no doubts that the two of you can come to an amicable agreement that you both can be happy with. But if you two can't openly and honestly discuss what and why you believe, I would seriously worry. I know and respect where my wife is coming from, as she does with me. So while I may not agree with some of the particulars, there is no problem. Just mutual respect and understanding.

The second an possibly bigger worry is the extended family. Remember, even if you can get her to agree with you, they will likely heap pressure on her to give in and 'pass on' the 'family religion'. Depending on how she is, she may be able to stand up and tell them you are sticking with your compromise, or she may cave in. But worse, if you can't get her to compromise and instead try to plant the odd seed of doubt in the child's mind, you will be forever outnumbered. That doesn't always matter. I still wound up as an atheist even though my entire family is Catholic. So maybe an atheist dad against a hoard of Christians does stand a chance. But also realize that if she and her family succeed in raising the child in the church, it may not be long until they turn their sights on converting you 'for the child's sake'. I can tell you that some things that you wouldn't consider could become a huge deal. If my wife and I ever decided to conceive, we would raise the child to decide for themselves. But we also would not get them baptized. Something that I'm sure would shock and dismay our Catholic families.

Sorry if my advice sounded pessimistic at any point. Such was not my intent. My true intent was to point out that there are very many factors that need to be taken into account, and that it is a really serious topic (as I'm sure you were already aware). Best of luck, and may the result be one you are happy with.

These boy names reached the height of their popularity in 1998 and are almost as popular today, but with names like Tyrell, Terrell, Elisha, Arden and Cal falling out of fashion. Liam and Truman are two of the more trendy baby names in this list.

Amin .. (Arabic) "Honest, faithful, trustworthy."
[Aman, Ameen, Amein, Amyn]

Antioco .. (Italian) "Stubborn, resistant." ..
[Antioch, Antiochos, Antiochus]

Arden .. Also possibly "ardent, enthusiastic" ..
[Ard, Arda, Ardie, Ardin, Ardon, .. 2 more]

Cal .. The Hebrew source probably refers to man's faithful companion, the dog (see Caleb) ..

Constant .. (Latin) "Steadfast." .. The name was seldom used in the Middle Ages, until it was taken up by Christians in the 17th century, partly due to its reference to determination in following Saint Peter's exhortations to be sober, vigilant, and steadfast in the faith.

Obesity raises cancer risk - study

A study has found that being overweight or obese raises the risk of cancer

A study has found that being overweight or obese raises the risk of cancer

First published in National News © by

People who are overweight or obese are at greater risk of developing cancer, according to a major new study.

Researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine gathered data on 5.2 million people in the UK, of which nearly 170,000 developed cancer, and found that a person's Body Mass Index, a measure of body fat, was linked to 17 out of 22 cancers.

The findings, published in the Lancet medical journal, suggest BMI was "positively associated" with 10 most common cancers, including uterus, cervix, thyroid, kidney, liver and colon. Post-menopausal breast cancer and leukaemia were also a heightened risk, the scientists said.

A person is deemed to be overweight if they have a BMI score, calculated using their weight and height, of 25 to 30 and are obese if it is above 30.

The study, funded by the National Institute for Health Research, Wellcome Trust and Medical Research Council, also suggested if waistlines continued to grow then there could be 3,790 more cancer sufferers per year.

Dr Krishnan Bhaskaran, who led the study, told the Daily Mail more than 12,000 cases of the 10 most common cancers could be attributed to obesity.

"The number of people who are overweight or obese is rapidly increasing both in the UK and worldwide," he said.

"It is well recognised that this is likely to cause more diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Our results show that if these trends continue, we can also expect to see substantially more cancers as a result.

"The higher the BMI, the higher the risk."

It comes after a report by Nuffield Health in April revealed many people were unaware they were overweight or of the health risks it could lead to.

Research conducted by the charity found that two-fifths of obese people had no concerns about serious illness due to their weight.

Speaking at the time Dr Davina Deniszczyc, medical director for well-being at Nuffield Health, said:' 'We are seeing a vast number of people unwittingly straying into dangerous medical territory and perhaps not realising that the obesity awareness campaigns are directed at them."

Alexia Lindale knows her new case is a matter of life and death. She doesn't have a clue what it will do to her heart...and soul.

From the Christy-award-winning author of The List, The Trial, and The Sacrifice comes this twisting tale of tough decisions, mixed motives, and mysterious, healing grace.

Baxter Richardson survived a fall from a cliff while hiding in the mountains. Whether he'll make it through the next few weeks is unclear. His survival depends on the machines that help him breathe. On the haunted, unstable wife who wants to pull the plug and hide her secrets. On the doting father who wants him alive for reasons of love and money. On the conflicting legal documents that send the fight to court. And, on the music and prayers of an extraordinarily gifted pianist.

D.C. battle over EPA Administrator nomination & the future of the D.C. Circuit

10 Jun

Gina McCarthy was nominated to take over as US EPA Administrator over three months ago. Last month her nomination passed out of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee to the full Senate for a vote. Needless to say, the leadership of EPA is a source of contention between Republicans and Democrats. As a result Republican senators have been delaying McCarthy’s confirmation vote.

Another set of less obvious nominations that may have even more significant environmental repercussions was made last week. President Obama nominated Robert Wilkins, Nina Pillard, and Patricia Millett for the US D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Since federal agencies are typically sued over proposed regulations in the D.C. Circuit, the D.C. Circuit is a prime battleground for US EPA regulations. In fact, these appointments may be especially important as federal judges are appointed for life, unlike agency administrators who typically last only as long as the President who nominates them, if that long. The judges whose change to Senior Status in the Court of Appeals created two of the three vacancies served for 25 and 26 years. The third vacancy was created when John Roberts was elevated to the Supreme Court. Currently, the D.C. Circuit has four judges selected by Republic Presidents (three judges selected by George W. Bush and one by George H.W. Bush and four judges selected by Democratic Presidents (three by Bill Clinton and one by Barack Obama).

If you have questions about these appointments or how to make your voice heard, contact us at 773-609-5320,, or through our web contact form.

RE-Powering America: EPA’s guidance on the use of contaminated properties for renewable energy development

20 Jul

Under the RE-Powering America’s Land: Siting Renewable Energy on Potentially Contaminated Land and Mine Sites Initiative, the EPA intends to take some of the ambiguity out of the redevelopment of contaminated properties for use as utility-scale renewable generation facilities. EPA’s guidance Siting Renewable Energy on Contaminated Properties: Addressing Liability Concerns provides important information on how to limit potential liability when entering into a lease contract. Several of the key takeaways are as follows: (more…)

Nanotechnology and Environmental Law- A new blog topic

29 Jun

In light of numerous requests, we are adding nanotechnology as a new topic to our blog.  Please check back frequently for updates, add this blog to your RSS feed (under the favorites tab in Windows Explorer), or subscibe to our weekly e-mail updates (on the right of your screen).

Few new technologies have generated as much attention and buzz as nanotechnology.  The use of nanomaterials is proposed, or already in use, for medicines, electronics, biomaterials, pesticides, and numerous other applications.  While there is no universally accepted definition, nanotechnology or nanomaterials basically refers to ultra-small molecules, typically between 1 and 100 nanometers long in one dimension.  The utility of nanoparticles derives from their extremely small size, low weights, and large surface areas.  Nano-materials may be functionalized much as any other chemical.   (more…)

EPA Penalties- How did they calculate up with that number?

22 Jun

An article of ours discussing some of the methods used by EPA to calculate penalties was published in the April issue of the Illinois Association of Environmental Professionals Network.  In particular, the article covers the RCRA Subtitle C (hazardous waste) penalty policy, the hazardous substance release enforcement response policy (covering EPCRA Sections 304, 311, and 312 and CERCLA Section 103), and the Clean Air Act Stationary Source Civil Policy.

EPA Penalties- How did they come up with that number

How does EPA calculate its penalties?

10 Jun

While it varies by statute, the maximum penalty for most statutes is $37,500 per violation occurring after January 12, 2009.  Needless to say, imposing the maximum penalty possible for every violation does not accurately reflect a violation’s relative threat to the environment or degree of noncompliance with the regulatory program.  In order to differentiate between violations and to allow for the uniform assessment of penalties throughout the United States, U.S. EPA has devised penalty policies for its enforcement programs.

Household Waste Drop-off Points and One-day Collection Events Under the Illinois Environmental Protection Act

12 May

The purpose of 415 ILCS 5/22.55, Household Waste Drop-off Points, is to improve the collection of waste from households by diverting certain wastes from the general household waste stream. The act provides for collection centers that can be located at commercial establishments, as well as allowing for the collection of waste in one-day collection events. Both types of collection are discussed in this post.

The first major section of the act allows retail establishments to collect certain types of household wastes from their customers. A household waste drop-off point is defined as “the portion of a site or facility used solely for the receipt and temporary storage of household waste.” 415 ILCS 5/22.55(b). A drop-off point is limited to accepting “pharmaceutical products, personal care products, batteries other than lead-acid batteries, paints automotive fluids, compact fluorescent lightbulbs, mercury thermometers, and mercury thermostats.” 415 ILCS 5/22.55(c)(1). However, the types of waste collected must be the same as those sold, distributed or dispensed by the facility. 415 ILCS 5/22.55(c)(2). By way of example, (more…)

The Illinois Safe Pharmaceutical Disposal Act

11 May

On August 4, 2009, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn signed the Illinois Safe Pharmaceutical Disposal Act (the Act). The Act became effective on January 1, 2010 and is codified at 21 ILCS 150/ et seq. The act prohibits any healthcare institution from disposing of any unused medication into the public wastewater collection system or sewage system. 210 ILCS 150/10(a). All medical facilities are required to update their protocols for the disposal of unused medication. 210 ILCS 150/15.

Under the Act, “unused medications” is defined as “any unopened, expired, or excess medication that has been dispensed for patient or resident care and that is in a solid form.” 210 ILCS 150/10. These medications can be pills, tablets, capsules, and caplets. Id. Medication that is in fluid form, such as intravenous fluids, syringes or transdermal patches are not covered by the ban. Id.

Year Walk

Wandering through the wintery Swedish forests of Year Walk is an eerily disquieting experience. Snow drifts silently across your view as you make your way down paths lined with ominously suggestive carvings and monuments, and the screen flickers and speckles like dusty old celluloid being passed through a rusty projector. The only audible sounds are that of the natural – the underfoot crunch of snow, the gentle trickle of a nearby stream, and occasionally, the unnerving drones of the wholly unnatural.

Based on the 19th century Swedish folklore of årsgång – an ominous prophetic vision quest intended to reveal fortunes for the year ahead – Year Walk is a horror game with a brooding ambience so thick that it envelopes like few other iOS titles. It brandishes its teeth every now and then with a few well timed jump scares, but it’s the suggested horrors, the hanging wooden dolls and trails of blood, that give it such an effective atmosphere, much like the unsettlingly tense early Silent Hill’s.

Year Walk is the antithesis of the socially connected, bite-sized distance runners and cutesy puzzlers that saturate mobile gaming, and a change of direction from the whimsical titles Malmö based developer Simogo made its name with. It’s a dark, deeply engrossing adventure that demands to be played, prologue to conclusion, in a solitary late night sitting with a pair of headphones in a dimly lit room. Scratch away at its fettered exterior, however, and you’ll find the same elegance of design that made Beat Sneak Bandit and Bumpy Road such joys to play.

Simogo’s understanding of iOS’s capabilities and limitations as a platform are evident throughout the construction of Year Walk’s simplistic design. There’s no start screen, no option menus; only some introductory prose before you open your eyes in the beautiful paper cut-out styled woods.

This forest setting is constructed from a sequence of parallel plains interconnected by multiple pathways, which limits navigational complexity, ensuring that the challenge remains on figuring out puzzles, not figuring out how to get to the puzzles. Similarly, first-person movement is effortless, with sideways swipes dragging the silvery grey trees of the foreground across your view and pulling on the soft fading white arrows that appear at the vertical edge of the screen, indications of backwards and forwards pathways, unfolding the adjoining scene. Even interacting with the games’ environmental puzzles is a simplistic affair, requiring nothing more than movement, multi-touch, and in one inspired mechanical twist, clever use of the iPhone’s tilt-sensitive accelerometer.

Throughout, Year Walk is an intuitive delight to interact with, which is essential considering the confusing progression of narrative events. A Year Walk is an abstract journey, one that challenges the mind with the macabre and metaphysical, and the ever increasing obscurity coupled with the open world maze-like construction of the forest can often confound progression. Tree-carvings, gravestones and ghostly premonitions all serve as guiding lights, but in the instance that you’re left tracing circles around scenic footpaths in search of a missed clue, the atmospheric tension so carefully engineered through its aesthetic design isn’t nearly as effective.

As an antidote to this lack of direction Year Walk comes with a free companion app containing a reference guide to the folklore that inspired the game; a book of mini-essays that proves both useful and educational in equal measure. All of Year Walk’s puzzle-sequences are structured around the mythical creatures said to be encountered during årsgång, and the companion app is structured similarly, with a page dedicated to each. Within, clues are nestled inside riddling descriptions, adding both an extra layer of depth and a smoothing stone to wear down the rough difficulty of progression.

Simogo’s integration of these two disparate apps is another wisely judged and well-balanced element of Year Walk‘s design; evidence of the studio’s crystal clear artistic vision. Throughout, Year Walk extols all of the simplicity driven design virtues of its host platform effortlessly, with harmoniously attuned mechanics and aesthetics breathing character into its unusual narrative.

It’s the depth and execution of its vision, matched only by Capybyra Games’ majestic Superbrothers: Swords and Swocery, that makes Year Walk something of a rare treasure within the realms of iOS gaming. It’s a simple, beautiful, if sometimes confusing puzzler, whose original premise and disturbing atmosphere will linger in your mind long after its brilliantly suggestive end-sequence.

Alabama Center Jones Will Play In Title Game

Alabama All-American center Barrett Jones is still wearing a protective boot on his injured left foot but says he'll be ready to go when the No. 2 Crimson Tide plays No. 1 Notre Dame in Monday night's Discover BCS National Championship Game at Sun Life Stadium.

Jones, a senior from Germantown, Tenn., has practiced only twice since injuring the foot in the first quarter of Alabama's 32-28 victory over Georgia in the SEC championship game on Dec. 1. He spent much of the past five weeks swimming and running on a specialized treadmill to stay properly conditioned.

"It feels great," said Jones, who won the Rimington Trophy as the country's top center. "I've been able to practice for a few practices.

Of Mice (and Men?)

New studies show that young blood reverses effects of aging when put into older mice.” - Washington Post

Scientists have come to the conclusion
that it's is not a mere illusion:
An aging mouse tends to live longer
with the blood of one that's younger.
Where can I get a transfusion?

Yes! If you find out where to get a transfusion, please share!

Well done, Henry. I wouldn't rush to get a transfusion, however. You might just start acting like a young mouse rather than a younger version of yourself. You never know.
