Vanessa Pham murder- Julio Blanco Garcia murder trial begins

<html>During opening statements Monday,Detroit Tigers @ Chicago White Sox 8, prosecutors said Julio Blanco Garcia purposefully armed himself and killed Vanessa Pham. The defense, meanwhile, asked the jury to convicted Blanco Garcia of a lesser charge.

Grantham shrugs off concerns about the secondary 0

<html>ATHENS - Todd Grantham is not worried about his secondary. No really, he's not. Really.Georgia's defensive backs have been racked by injuries and several potential starters missed Wednesday night's final scrimmage of the preseason. But Grantham, the defensive coordinator in charge of stopping Clemson, or at least holding the Tigers in check, said the secondary situation isn't keeping him up at night."Nah. Hey, we've got the guys we've got, and I think the guys that played last night did a good job," Grantham said. "I think they're pretty conscientious. They've just gotta understand the gameplan and understand where their help is, and just gotta keep working."Free safety Tray Matthews looms as perhaps the key player who needs to return. The freshman has been out this week with a hamstring injury, but Grantham shrugged off a question about when Matthews would return to practice. But he shrugged it off, with a hint of optimism. "All I go is by the day, and today everybody was getting a little bit better. We're gonna practice on Friday and Saturday, and hopefully we can get some reps for those guys to start preparing for Clemson," Grantham said.Strong safety Corey Moore has been out for awhile with a knee sprain, and strong safety Shaquille Fluker has been ill and missed practice this week. That compounds the problem created by sophomore Josh Harvey-Clemons, the first-team strong safety in the base defense,New Survivor Cast- Blood vs. Water CBS Denver_3, being suspended for the opener. Projected starting cornerback Sheldon Dawson did not play in the practice game with a sprained shoulder, but he was no longer on the injury report Thursday. The players who are healthy have played well, according to Grantham, particularly freshmen cornerbacks Brendan Langley and Shaq Wiggins. "We got some guys back last night. Shaq (Wiggins) practiced, and had an interception, did some nice things. I think those guys are continuing to get healthy, and we'll just continue to treat them, and get them out there when we can,This week in Knicks and the entertainment industry_2," Grantham said. "I think Langley's done a great job. He's been serious about learning our system since really we signed him in February. He's taken ownership in trying to learn the defense."On another note,Psychic fraud trial- Testimony continues in trial of fortune teller Rose Marks, there apparently isn't a decision in the battle between James DeLoach and Leonard Floyd to start at outside linebacker. Grantham indicated that both will play a lot of snaps, and their performance will dictate what happens going forward.Defensive line update: Bailey emerges againDefensive line coach Chris Wilson said he feels comfortable with six players right now, though he didn't want to say who comprises those six. Senior defensive end Garrison Smith remains the player who has most separated himself from the rest, which isn't surprising given he's the only returning starter. But Wilson did single out another player: Sterling Bailey,New Home Sales Drop Sharply, who finished the spring as the first-team defensive end, but has had a quieter preseason. "Sterling Bailey has done some things that have helped his cause,Video- Anderson Varejao’s life, illustrated," Wilson said. "We'll obviously be preparing him till we kick the ball off. So that's the thing, you've gotta see the guys - everybody likes to play. We've gotta find guys that like to win. That's kind of what we're developing right now.""Now we're finally starting the gameplan phase of Clemson, and so now you're trying to marry up your players with the gameplan, and create the matchups you need for Clemson. I like the six guys I've got. I haven't really settled on a guy because we haven't settled on a gameplan as of yet. But as that gets closer and closer we'll be closer to knowing who the six or seven guys hopefully who we'll go win the game with."

Marcellus Shale waste trips more radioactivity alarms than o

<html>Last year, nearly 1,Citizens awards contract for new insurance clearinghouse,000 trucks hauling 15,769 tons of Marcellus Shale waste were stopped at Pennsylvania landfill gates after tripping radioactivity alarms.The trucks were pulled to the side, wanded with hand-held detectors and some of the material was sent to laboratories for further evaluation. In the end, 622 tons were shipped to three out-of-state landfills specifically designed to dispose of hazardous and radioactive materials.But most of the flagged waste was eventually allowed past the gates. It was safe enough to be buried along with other waste as long as it stays below the annual limit, the Department of Environmental Protection and landfill operators deemed.The increase in radiation alarms going off at landfills has mirrored the growth in Marcellus Shale activity, and the DEP has launched a yearlong study of radioactive Marcellus waste to determine any risks involved in its transportation or disposal.PG graphic:Marcellus Shale waste at Pa. landfills
(Click image for larger version)The agency s bureau of waste management also has formed a working group and charged it with developing protocol for tracking rejected loads, for telling gas operators how to characterize the waste, for developing waste acceptance criteria for landfills, and for clarifying how well sites and waste treatment plants should handle residual waste.So far, neither the DEP nor the landfill owners are alarmed.To put it into perspective, the alarms flagged only 1 percent of all landfill-bound Marcellus waste last year, according to state figures. Shale gas operators reported sending just under 1 million tons of waste to Pennsylvania landfills in 2012. The majority of that was drill cuttings -- chunks of earth pulled out of the well during the drilling process -- but there was also flow-back water, frack sand and other fluids that were turned into sludge for disposal.It s these sludges that experts say are most likely contributing to elevated radiation counts.The radioactive material in Marcellus waste is naturally occurring. It s mostly radium,The best kind of home improvements- high, a product of uranium decay, and it has been underground for millions of years in the Marcellus formation. Dredging earth and gas out of the ground brings up the radioactive elements.Since 2002, all Pennsylvania landfills have been outfitted with radiation detectors following concerns about medical waste ending up in the municipal waste stream. All trucks arriving at the facilities pass through a gate topped with a sensor that takes a reading inches away from the top of the truck.According to the DEP, Marcellus sludge is three times more likely to trip alarms than solid shale waste. Last year, 224 loads of drill cuttings elicited alarms at landfills, while 773 loads of sludge did the same. So far this year, 211 loads of sludge and 124 loads of drill cuttings tripped alarms, the DEP said.But the number of times an alarm is tripped doesn t tell the whole story.Landfill sensors are particularly sensitive and able to detect even small levels of radioactivity, said Erika Deyarmin, a spokeswoman for Waste Management Corp., which operates 17 commercial landfills in Pennsylvania.Usually, if a load is really radioactive, it never makes it to a landfill because the oil and gas company or wastewater treatment plant that first scans that waste at their site knows it will be rejected,Heating up- Klamath Basin geothermal project keeps getting w, she said. In such cases, the company must come up with another disposal option.The increase in radioactivity at landfills may be a product of how Marcellus waste treatment has changed over the last few years.In 2011, radioactivity concerns centered around water. Back then, oil and gas companies were still taking their waste to municipal wastewater treatment plants and to commercial plants that were discharging into the state s waters.In the summer of 2011, the DEP collected and analyzed sediment from the PA Brine wastewater treatment plant in Indiana County and found levels of radium 226 in the discharge pipe that was 44 times the drinking water standard. Twenty meters downstream of the discharge point, levels were still 66 percent above the standard.Similar results were found at several other facilities, as revealed in a settlement between the Environmental Protection Agency and the company earlier this year.In April 2011, the PA Brine plant and all such plants in the state had been told not to accept Marcellus wastewater, but the radioactive elements found in PA Brine s soil were remnants of prior discharges.Kelvin Gregory, an assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon University who works on Marcellus water issues, said the peak of radioactivity in wastewater comes after the initial gush of flow-back water comes to the surface after fracking. Radium concentrations are highest in produced water, a term that describes the brine that continues to flow out of the well for long periods of time after that well starts producing gas.In a survey of flow-back and produced water at 46 Marcellus sites, Mr. Gregory found radioactivity increases for two months on average, then he saw plateaus.Whether the level stays at that high concentration forever or tapers off at some point isn t yet clear, Mr. Gregory said. The wells haven t been producing long enough to tell.Examples of highly radioactive waste from the Marcellus are rare so far."The cases where we get a very hot load are very few and far between," said John Poister, a spokesman for the DEP s southwestern district.But every once in awhile, it happens.In April, a truckload from Rice Energy arrived at Max Environmental s Yukon Landfill in Westmoreland County and set off the alarm. The waste was deemed too radioactive.The company shopped it around to a few landfills, but no one would take it, Mr. Poister said. Eventually, the truck went back to the source while arrangements were made to transport the waste to a specialized disposal site in Idaho.Why was Rice s load so much hotter than others?"That s a question for the [DEP] study," Mr. Poister said."We ve taken quite a bit of drill cuttings at our Yukon facility this year, and only one truck triggered the radiation alarm," said Carl Spadaro, environmental general manager of the Yukon landfill. "Other landfills have had alarms triggered quite a bit."Yukon accepts about 90,000 tons of waste annually and just last month amended its permit to be able to accept waste that trips radiation alarms."We didn t do this to bring in a lot of [radioactive] waste,Best Book Clubs In Washington DC CBS DC_1," Mr. Spadaro said. "We did this to level the playing field."Yukon competes with two other landfills within a 5-mile radius."The biggest concern is exposure of a landfill worker during unloading and somebody who s handling material,Seahawks vs. Packers- Preseason Week 3 Coverage_0," Mr. Spadaro said.The exposure level allowed at Pennsylvania landfills is a quarter of the EPA s public radiation dose limit of 100 millirem per year."This is equivalent to about two chest X-rays," said Kevin Sunday, a former spokesman for the DEP.</html>

Ned Rozell- 50 years of coverning science issues in Alaska

<html>While waiting for the talking to begin in darkened auditoriums, I sometimes scan the room, counting heads. "I've interviewed him,Jesse Jackson Says Blacks 'More Equal, Less F, and her,New Tylenol cap will have warning label, and him. And her."At last week's dedication of the Institute of Arctic Biology's lovely new building on the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus, I saw more than a dozen people who have appeared in this space since fall 1994 (when I took over this column from Carla Helfferich).I've written a lot of words about these biologists because we still know so little about far-north creatures and how they survive here, and Institute of Arctic Biology people have discovered things we did not know.One example is where chickadees roost during winter (often in tiny holes in birch trees, Susan Sharbaugh found). Another is that our rugged version of Alaska wood frogs can survive colder temperatures than Lower 48 wood frogs, which live as far south as Georgia (Brian Barnes and his physiology class uncovered that one).Barnes, who also discovered that Toolik Lake ground squirrels' body temperatures sometimes dip below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (getting the ground squirrel on the cover of Science magazine), is the director of the institute. As part of the 50th anniversary celebration of that organization, Barnes challenged 24 current and former researchers to sum up their research in just 15 minutes of stage time.Their lectures, executed rapid-fire in the spotless new auditorium of the Margaret Murie Building, were a lively combination of history, stories about getting caught in offices with disobedient dogs,Small Town Considers Whether To Issue Drone_0, and nice little news bites. Here are a few of the latter: Black spruce trees came into Alaska about 6,500 years ago, when it was cooler and wetter, said plant ecologist Roger Ruess. Wildfires followed the black spruce into the territory. Because interior Alaska is changing as fast as any place on Earth, hardwoods are shouldering out black spruce. Kittiwakes, true "sea gulls" with handsome black wing tips, nest in large colonies in bluffs near the ocean. Every four-to-five years, often after cold springs, chick survival in colonies is zero, said ornithologist Ed Murphy, who studied the birds for years on the western Alaska coast. The acreage burned in western North America has doubled in the last 40 years, said ecologist Terry Chapin. If current warming continues, in 50 years Fairbanks will have a climate similar to Saskatoon. "UAF will have the highest predictable (climate) changes of any university," he said. Wolf-control programs could lead to more coyotes eating lambs, said ecologist Laura Prugh. She studies coyote predation on Dall sheep and has found that when snowshoe hare numbers are up, so are coyotes, and more coyotes eat more lambs. Wolf-control could cause "coyote release" (less wolves mean more coyotes,Season of note unveiled for Live Arts Maryland, which wolves kill). She also pointed out the state of Alaska practices wolf control in an area larger than the state of Washington. Using a snippet of hair, nutritional ecologist Diane O'Brien, using stable-isotope analysis, can determine your approximate intake of sugar-sweetened drinks. Her methods are useful in the studies of what coastal Alaska Natives eat as they combine a traditional diet rich in foods from the ocean and store-bought foods that are almost never from Alaska. Now director of the UA Press, former "microbiologist in a world of macrobiologists" Joan Braddock said one of her most satisfying moments was when U.S. Geological Survey workers used her prescription that enabled oil-eating microbes to clean up a fouled site in Barrow. "After two months of using our fertilizing and tilling recommendations, the contaminant was cleaned up." After studying the largest tundra fire in recent memory -- the 2007 Anaktuvuk River Fire -- ecologist Donie Bret-Harte has found that the site is greening at a surprising clip. "The tundra's clearly recovering much faster than we expected," she said. "This fire is not the big disaster people thought it would be."Since the late 1970s,Is The Play Calling Really Making A Difference For The Cowboys-_0, the University of Alaska Fairbanks' Geophysical Institute has provided this column free in cooperation with the UAF research community.
