“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Super Bowl contender anytime soon, especially in an absolutely loaded NFC. Handing out $70-plus million in guaranteed money along with forking over a third-round pick and a good player for Smith's services is a move I might make if I were running a team with a great roster, but a big hole at quarterback. This feels a lot like a move by a GM/coach combo that is running out of time to start winning games. Ultimately, however, it should keep them in that mediocre zone that they are so used to.3) The Redskins' instability at quarterback continuesRedskins fans know the names of all the quarterbacks who have started at least one game since the Dan Snyder era began in 1999. For those of you who don't: Brad JohnsonJeff GeorgeTony BanksShane MatthewsPatrick RamseyDanny WuerffelTi... ( reasons the Redskins will be a dumpster fire this season)
It happened about 11 a.m. at the Campbell’s Soup plant in Maxton, when a dumpster being moved by forklift tumbled off, landing on top of the worker, reported WPDE. The size of the dumpster was not released. There are conflicting reports as to how the second person was hurt. WPDE is reporting the dumpster fell on both workers, while the Robesonian says the second person was injured “while trying to provide help.” The injured man was airlifted to a hospital and his condition was not released, reported WNCN. Maxton is a town of about 2,400 people in Robeson County, 110 miles south of Raleigh. (mpster kills NC man in freak accident at Campbell's Soup plant, officials say)
Workers from the Environmental Protection Agency respond to an oil spill Oct. 26 at a fork of the Chicago River known as Bubbly Creek. (EPA) Cleanup activities are expected to continue this the week after an oil spill Thursday along the south fork of the South Branch of the Chicago River known as Bubbly Creek.Staff from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency responded Oct. 26 to an oil discharge along a 1.5-mile section of the waterway. Crews have secured the affected area of the river with containment booms, but the source of the oil spill is unknown, according to the EPA’s website.The EPA said it did not know how long the cleanup would last.The spill resulted in the closure of the boat dock at Chicago Park District’s Park No. 571, which remains out of service. The U.S. Coast Guard has also closed off access to Bubbly Creek.Video: Cleanup efforts underway Saturday at Bubbly Creek.

The trash wheels extend floating booms that funnel trash from the river up to rotating forks that sort the trash and move it onto the conveyor belt. The contraption’s two water wheels power a conveyor belt that carries the trash up to a dumpster.The Trash Wheels have significantly improved the cleanliness of the Jones Fall River and Harris Creek. The creator of the Trash Wheels, John Kellett, has been looking internationally for more places to install a similar device. “Kellett, now with a construction company to build the wheels, has done site surveys in Lombok, Indonesia, Panama City, Rio de Janeiro, and stateside in Honolulu, Milwaukee, Atlanta, and Denver,” National Geographic reports.Milwaukee representatives met with Kellet to discuss a possible installation of a Trash Wheel on the Kinnickinnic River in November 2016, according to Lindsay Frost, Manager of Water Projects for the Milwaukee Harbor District. The district’s borders are generally south of the Third Ward, east of Walker’s Point and north of Bay View, encompassing 1,000 acres and 44,000 linear feet of water frontage.“Our organization has been in communication with the organization running the Trash Wheel efforts in Baltimore, and we’re exploring the possibilities further,” Frost says.Frost notes the advantages of Mr. Trash Wheel: “One of the things that’s really great is the Trash Wheel is very engaging. It does collect a lot of trash over in Baltimore, but it also serves as an attraction point and a reason for people to engage with the rivers again, which I think could be a benefit here.”As it happens, Milwaukee already has a waterfront trash collector with a cool name, the 50-foot long river skimmer called Lynyrd Skymmer — a clever play on the southern rock band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, which was the result of a 2011 naming contest.
