Birds and Mammals
Sowerby, Lear and Gray. Tortoises, Terrapins, and Turtles. 1872.
Testudo radiate from Madagascar.
A Thousand Words
By Margi Dykens, Research Librarian
Since earliest times, humans have felt compelled to interpret nature artistically. Although we can only guess at the significance of such images, the graceful and iconic cave paintings of animals and figures that we find in places such as Baja California and Lascaux, France give silent but eloquent testimony to mankind's early desires to express natural forms in an artistic medium.
Trying to draw or represent what we see in nature continues to be one way to try to make sense of the complex and mysterious in nature. Sunflowers and pine cones and beetles are common objects we all encounter in our daily lives, but the day you sit down to try to actually draw one of these objects, will become in a sense the first time you truly "see" them, in all the beauty of their intricate design.
Scientists and artists, through the process of scientific illustration, often work together to try to elucidate natural phenomena around us, such as what makes one species of plant different from another closely related species. Once photography became a highly developed form, it was widely believed that scientific illustrators would become obsolete. Wrong! As anyone who has tried to identify a bird or a butterfly using only photographs can confirm, a skillful scientific illustration can trump a photograph every time. This is because the artist discriminates between what details to leave out, as well as those to leave in. The illustrator can create a composite image, often based on many encounters with the object to be drawn, whereas a photo represents literally one snapshot in time. The artist can examine dried or preserved specimens, photos, collecting data, live specimens, field sketches, whatever material is at hand. After integrating all that information, the artist can create a representation of the object that no camera could capture.
At the Museum, artists involved in scientific illustration fulfill an important role. Jim Melli, who works as museum artist and preparator in the Exhibits Department, has created illustrations in the Museum in almost every medium, from colored pencil drawings to fabrications to murals to sculptures. His work is highly visible throughout the Museum. Brad Riney, a paleontological monitor and fossil preparator in our Paleontology Department, is a talented artist who does scientific illustrations of fossils, some for publication. Elegant, detailed illustrations of mammal skulls by Jennifer Zee, a scientific illustrator currently finishing her graduate study at the University of Michigan, are a critical component of the San Diego County mammal atlas project, currently underway in the Birds and Mammal Department under the direction of Scott Tremor. These and other artists, who carry on in the distinguished tradition of those cave artists of long ago, enrich our understanding of the natural world, through the compelling language of the eye rather than the written word. A picture is truly worth a thousand words.

Since helping launch Avril Lavigne to pop stardom, the Los Angeles-based production trio the Matrix has worked with everyone from Ricky Martin to Britney Spears to David Bowie.
"Somebody said we were the hottest production team in the world the other day," says Lauren Christy. "We just laughed."
Up next for Christy, her husband Graham Edwards and Scott Spock is a trip to Spain to work on Shakira's second English-language album.
"She's such a great writer," Christy says. "She might have ideas she wants us to flesh out with her. We'll probably just wing it."
The three are also serving as script consultants on the movie version of "Sk8er Boi," one of the seven tracks they produced for Lavigne's debut Let Go. "It's our story," Christy says. "They want to make sure they follow it in a cool way."
"We didn't it want to be a silly kids film," explains Scott. "We wanted it to be legit."
The trio will be involved in casting and will serve as executive producers on the soundtrack. "I have a kind of vision in my head of what he's going to look like and what the girl's going to look like," Christy says. "It's not going to be someone from Jason's Creek or whatever creek. We want to do West Side Story meets Saturday Night Fever."

Carolyn Rosenblatt, Contributor
I write about healthy aging, and dealing with aging loved ones.
Victoria is at her wit's end.
After a struggle with deciding how to best care for her Dad, 86, she moved him to assisted living. She's beginning to think it was a mistake.
Over the last five months, there have been numerous errors at the assisted living facility. Dad is spending $7500 a month there. First they got his medication mixed up and created a mess. Then, they sent Dad to the wrong doctor. Finally, Dad fell and they called 911, but Victoria says the assisted living folks "forgot" to tell the paramedics about the fall. He went to the emergency room for what was reported as "the flu".
She's been through the situation with a fall before. They're supposed to check him out all over and take x-rays. As the ER folks didn't know about a fall this time, they did none of that. He was released after getting some fluids. It was lucky he had no fractures. They would have missed them entirely.
Now she is asking herself: should I move move in with him and take care of him myself, with helpers at his home? She did have him at his home for a time, but she didn't live nearby. Now, she has moved back to the area.
Victoria is tired of getting upset with the assisted living staff. They give her the brush-off when she raises questions.
She is facing the issue a lot of adult children face. Where is the best place for her dad?
The main reason Victoria moved dad to assisted living was for socialization. She thought having other men around to talk to and visit would be good for him. And it would have been. It might have worked out all right if dad were able to engage socially with other residents. But, as his dementia got worse, he spent more and more time in his room. That wasn't what she planned for and she didn't feel that the staff there were particularly concerned.
Victoria's problem is not unique. Now she needs to look within. The daunting task of caring for dad as his dementia advances and he may become more of a behavior problem is heavily weighed. Will caregivers at home solve the problem, or will he be still too isolated there, even if she is with him in the evenings?
At AgingParents.com, we come across this question often. Should your aging parent stay at home or move? The concept of assisted living works very well for some people, particularly those who are able and willing to interact with others. It can facilitate friendships, offer activities, balanced meals and transportation to various things like doctor's appointments. We went over the pros and cons with Victoria. One option was to try a different assisted living facility.
But, things can go wrong at any assisted living. There is no direct nursing care, even if a nurse is on staff to supervise the caregivers. The assisted living facility license does not permit "nursing care" from its employees. Perhaps Victoria's dad needs more care than he is getting there. If Victoria is available to supervise the at-home caregivers on a daily basis, she can be assured of what is going on and she can stop the mistakes the facility keeps making.
I work with many families, through my Elder law practice, who have placed their family members with facilities without any of these issues let alone this high number. It really sounds as though there was a placement issue. People should research and seek references of facilties they are considering placing their loved one within. We see more problems with family members postponing placement out of a feeling of guilt resulting in poor care at home because a lack of training or time to give care.
There can also be a significant financial benefit by moving in with your parent, or having them move in with you – housing is the single largest expense for the average household, and the average retiree household (its represents 40% to 45% of expenses). It sounds like this was not a primary concern for Victoria, but for many others in these difficult times it can be a very effective way to cut costs and stretch a dollar.
I would rather just get my parents some sort of assisted living, instead of being required to move in with them. Though I would prefer that over death. I just don't want to move to Framingham, I like Chicago.
it's truly a tough call this. Having to decide whether you pack a moving box for your parents to move into a home really depends on whether there are the resources and time though too. I find that as much as possible, we should try our best to give them the best of care amongst familiar surroundings.

RED BOILING SPRINGS, Tenn. (AP/WVLT) -- The man known as the "Barefoot Farmer" says he is shutting down one of the state's largest and oldest organic farms.
Jeff Poppen told The Tennessean he is closing Long Hungry Creek Farm in Red Boiling Springs because he has concerns about possible contamination from a neighboring farm that has begun raising 40,000 chickens.
The neighbor, Lundy Russell, has denied Poppen's contention that the chicks will pollute his land with excessive waste. The animals are being kept in two long houses on a steep hill that overlook's Poppen's land.
Poppen has hosted hundreds of groups at his farm in addition to putting on workshops and appearing on television.
He said he plans to move, and wants to start up a similar organic farm nearby.

Looking back at some of the strangest cameos in film and TV history, Rolling Stone was struck by how many of them were by musicians. It makes sense. After all, musicians are already out of place among actors on a TV or film set. What they bring to the table is different from what actors bring, in terms of star quality, charisma, self-expression and established personae. If you're familiar with both the musician's work and the characters in a movie or TV show (and the actors who play them), then it's fun to watch the discharge of weird energy that takes place in the pop star's fish-out-of-water encounters with fictional characters and the stars who portray them. Here, then, are 14 of our favorites from over the years.
Tom Waits, Fernwood 2Night (1977)
The faux talk show hosted by Barth Gimble (Martin Mull) and Jerry Hubbard (Fred Willard) books Waits as a guest, since a tour bus breakdown has stranded the whiskey-voiced crooner in the Midwestern town of the title. It's weird to hear a laugh track over Waits' performance of "The Piano Has Been Drinking," with each of its wry little ironies prompting loud guffaws. And then Waits sits down for a surreal interview with the clueless small-town hosts. Mull and Willard are two of the funniest men in TV history, but they play it straight as city slicker Waits drops sly one-liners and cadges $20 from the pair. It's easy to imagine, back in 1977, an audience that was just as puzzled as the hosts were by Waits' shtick.
Actors Who Rock: Big-Screen Stars With Rock Star Chops
The Clash, The King of Comedy (1983)
They're just billed in the movie as "Street Scum," but among the gang of New York City street-corner punks who make fun of Sandra Bernhard's character in one scene are Clash mainstays Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, and Joe Strummer. (Director Martin Scorsese was reportedly a fan of the British punk pioneers.) Also present are the band's manager, Kosmo Vinyl, filmmaker Don Letts, singer Pearl Harbour and singer-actress Ellen Foley (Meat Loaf's "Paradise By the Dashboard Light" duet partner, and later a star of TV's Night Court).
Bo Diddley, Trading Places (1983)
The rock guitar pioneer shows up in this comedy classic as a Philadelphia pawnbroker who believes that down-and-out Dan Aykroyd is trying to sell him a stolen watch. The former commodities broker insists that the watch is worth thousands of dollars and tells time in several different world cities, including Gstaad. Diddley's delivery is priceless on the reply: "In Philadelphia, it's worth 50 bucks." The scene ends as the man behind the album Bo Diddley Is a Gunslinger sells Aykroyd a pistol.
Lou Reed, Get Crazy (1983)
In this nearly forgotten comedy by Allan Arkush (Rock 'n' Roll High School) about a New Year's Eve all-star rock concert, Reed plays Auden, who's an apparent gloss on Bob Dylan. It's an interesting casting idea – both Dylan and Reed were Sixties visionaries who expanded the artistic vocabulary of rock, then spent the rest of their careers exploring vastly different but occasionally overlapping territories. Still, given how much their paths diverged, Reed's take on Dylan seems surprisingly spot-on and hilarious. He's soft-spoken, deliberately obscure and enigmatic, endlessly fascinating, and (onstage) completely on fire.
Boy George, The A-Team (1986)
You probably never realized how much camp was behind the macho heroics of The A-Team until the flamboyant George O'Dowd showed up. At a time when both Culture Club and the A-Team were getting a bit past their prime, they joined forces in an unlikely episode where Face (Dirk Benedict) hits a snag as a music promoter when he mistakenly books CC into a country-western nightspot full of homophobic cowpokes. (See, he thought he was getting an act called Cowboy George, not Boy George.) Still, the British new-wavers save the day, first when they win over the country crowd, and second, when they help the team foil a robbery of the venue's till. At a key moment, Boy George shows how butch he is by kicking in a door. (Then he cracks up, unable to keep from breaking character.) "Totally awesome, Hannibal," George tells George Peppard. Indeed, totally awesome.
Miles Davis, Scrooged (1988)
The inventor of cool plays the leader of a band of street musicians performing Christmas carols in front of the midtown Manhattan office building where Bill Murray's bah-humbug TV executive rules with an iron fist. Davis and company (including fellow ringers Larry Carlton, David Sanborn and Paul Shaffer) barely get through a few bars of a muted, crackling, "We Three Kings of Orient Are" before Murray lashes out at them, calling the buskers amateurs who must have just learned the tune yesterday and who ought to take their collected change and use it on music lessons. Offscreen, one can imagine the two Zen masters, Miles and Murray, either bonding over their shared bad attitudes or else avoiding each other completely out of mutual alpha-male respect. Onscreen, one simply gasps at Murray's chutzpah – though, really, who else would have the balls to dis Miles Davis to his face?
The Flaming Lips, Beverly Hills 90210 (1995)
In the episode "Love Hurts," the alt-rockers give a fairly straightforward performance (by their standards – no animal costumes, for instance) of their then-recent hit "She Don't Use Jelly." Nonetheless, the Fox drama's resolutely unhip teens and twentysomethings seem thoroughly bewildered, even disappointed. Well, not Steve Sanders (Ian Ziering), who admits that he's not much into alternative music, but these guys "rocked the house!" His date, however, grumbles that the Lips are no Michael Bolton. Nope, they're not.

PORTLAND – Sunday marked the 10th birthday of missing Portland boy Kyron Horman, and his family spent the day raising awareness that the search for him is still active.
Kyron Horman was 7 years old when he disappeared from Skyline Elementary in June 2010.
Complete coverage: The search for Kyron Horman
His father, Kaine Horman, and other family members marked the boy's birthday at 'Cause Day' in Sublimity, Oregon.
The family is hoping to broaden awareness outside the Portland area. They set up a booth, passing out T-shirts and buttons with Kyron's most recent age-progression photo (pictured, right).
"Lots of people want to help and they just don't know how," Kaine Horman said Sunday. "This is a way: They can take something with them; even if it just has his name on it, it's enough to connect and start a discussion."
He said the investigation remains very active.
The boy's mother has filed a civil lawsuit against his stepmother, Terri Horman, who was the last person known to have seen him.

Florida's Own Taylor Kiser Takes First-Ever Win at GNCC Opener: Borich, McGill Overcome Mechanical Troubles to Land on Podium
LAKE WALES, FL (March 1, 2009) -- Alva, Florida's Taylor Kiser started the 2009 Can-Am Grand National Cross County Series in dream fashion by notching his first career win at the season opening River Ranch GNCC in Lake Wales, Florida. Kiser, who finished the 2008 tour ranked sixth in the final standings, topped Rockstar Yoshimura Suzuki's Chris Borich and FRE KTM's Adam McGill on a rough, dry, sandy race track at the West Gate River Ranch Resort.
"This is like a dream to win it in front of all of these people," said Kiser in front of his home state fans on the podium. "I saw Chris and Adam setting a good pace out front, and I wasn't sure if I should go with them, because this course gets so rough and I knew it would be a long day. So I just played it smart and it paid off."
Borich grabbed the $250 MotorcycleUSA.com Holeshot Award and took off early. He and McGill traded the lead a bit before McGill came in contact with a lapped rider. "Another rider had just pulled out of Chris' way, and then he pulled back onto the track just as I was coming through. I flipped the thing and it broke the bolt on my front brake. That was some bad luck there."
McGill took an extended pit stop, and Kiser went around to take second. Then Borich started struggling as his clutch started fading. "I felt real good, real strong early," said Borich. "I've been training a lot harder, hitting the gym real hard. We're ready. I ride the clutch a lot through those sand whoops, but in this sugar sand it started to fade. I really had to change my riding style on the last lap just to get in to the finish. I think everyone probably had clutch problems out here."
Kiser admitted his clutch started fading, too, but after he made the pass on Borich he kept his pace up and rolled to a win by just over a minute after two hours of racing.
Fourth went to DeRisi Racing veteran Bryan Cook, on an Honda, with last year's XC2 Champion Don Ockerman grabbing fifth on his factory GT Thunder Yamaha. Sixth went to Brandon Ballance, on a Yamaha, with Warnert Racing Can-Am's Chris Bithell in seventh. Jeff Pickens, Jarrod McClure and Josh Kirkland rounded out the top ten overall, with Kirkland topping the XC2 Pro-Am Class on his FRE KTM.
"This is the way I was hoping it would go, but really, I was just hoping to get to the dirt races to get a win," said Kirkland after a day in the sand.
Second in the class went to another KTM rider, David Crane, while third came an unheralded Kawasaki privateer from New York, Scott Rich. Yamaha rider Brian Wolf grabbed the $100 Rekluse XC2 Holeshot Award and finished fifth, behind Honda rider Eric Hoyland.
Defending GNCC Champion Bill Ballance struggled all day dealing with the effects of getting surgery on his ribs just three weeks ago - the result of an injury that lingered from last year. He finished 18th in the XC1 pro class after completing four of six laps.
Ballance and Bithell did, however, compete hard the night before the race as part of barrel racing at the River Ranch Rodeo. In the end, Ballance came up a second short of the fastest horse while riding his YFZ450R.
In the morning race, KTM's Angel Atwell notched the $100 GT Thunder Morning Race Overall Award in her first GNCC on a KTM. Jennifer Albright notched second overall and second in the Women's class, with Warnert Can-Am's Michael Swift taking top 4x4 honors by notching third overall and winning the 4x4 Limited Class.
The Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series continues with bike racing from the Parts Unlimited River Ranch GNCC on Tuesday, March 3rd. For more information and full results, visit www.gnccracing.com

As the seconds tick away toward the arrival of the new year it causes most to pause and reflect on the past year since the last calendar change. To be sure every year brings challenges and with each passing day we find joy or sorrow as our lives unfold.
We lose friends and family members and we gain some as well through births or marriages. The circle of our family ebbs and flows like the tides but the common core remains intact for most.
I was sharing with my students a couple of weeks ago about the need to live each and every day with the idea that each day is a gift and that each day allots you 86,400 seconds with which to enjoy that time. You cannot save even one single second for another day. I use the example of being given $86,400 and being told you have one day to spend that money in any way you desire but you cannot save it and any unspent money would have to be returned.
Of course the money would be spent by most because there would be zero benefit in wasting the opportunity to spend what is there. So it is with life. Live that when your time is up there are no "would ofs," "could ofs," or "should ofs" which would be evidence of regrets.
I know many people in this area and by the calendar they are old but their attitude toward life defies their age. Yes, they have aged but they haven't grown old. They have robust attitudes and are still involved in learning, volunteering, hobbies, and in other people's lives. They know the joys of life and they seek those joys out constantly.
So as the New Year comes upon us and we make those resolutions to lose weight, attend a night class, or to be more organized, we really need to resolve to live each of those precious 86,400 seconds with vim and vigor so that we are not bored but exhausted when we go to sleep.
Our bodies rarely wear out but they do rust so we need to use those seconds wisely.
During the coming year this country will face many challenges. Some economic difficulties are certain to pop up and there will be threats to our national security. Politics will affect certain judgments and we will debate the issues. During this coming year we will enjoy our liberty guaranteed by the Constitution and enforced by our Veterans, we will see the benefits of millions of hours of time donated to charitable causes and billions of dollars sent to other charities. We will see advances in medicine and technology and we will see businesses come and go. That is what life is all about, the constant change that makes for an excitement that we cannot imagine.
Who knows, this may be the year that cancer is cured, polio is eradicated, and diabetes ceases to cause folks to have to take insulin. Perhaps this new year will be the year that sees record employment numbers, and a drop in people needing help from others to survive. Maybe in 2014 there will be a decline in dropouts from high school and that people will begin to see signs of hope in their life. Maybe at the end of 2014 people will look back and say that 2014 was certainly better than 2013. That would be icing on the cake.
Thank you for making this column a part of your life. Many agree with my thinking and many disagree with my thinking but you read my words and I hope they cause you to think.
May 2014 be a great year for all of you.
Happy New Year.

The Oldtimers are back from Kentucky Lake this week after trying the famous Kentucky-Barkley Lake spring crappie run.
Their opinion is that they were about a week or two early. They battled high winds and rough water most of the week, but did manage to catch some nice crappie. They tried a variety of methods, from spider rigging to dipping minnows.
The good crappie I saw in photos came by fishing jigs in stake beds in six to eight feet of water.
Meanwhile crappie here on Barren River Lake continue to improve with the better weather conditions.
I have seen some nice strings, including one with the blackest crappie I have ever seen. It was almost totally black.
Crappie are being caught here with several methods, but jigs fished in cover along the channels seem to be producing the best fish.

Video: 'Sky Full of Bacon' Visits Iowa Prosciutto Producers La Quercia
Sky Full of Bacon's Michael Gebert posted this video of his visit to La Quercia in late May, but we haven't blogged it yet, and like all his videos, it's definitely worth watching. Says Gebert:
Iowa fills the supermarkets with generic produce and meat... but a few people are trying to show that it can be capable of world-class cuisine, too. That's the mission of La Quercia, whose prosciutto made in a suburb of Des Moines has been raved about by top chefs and food writers.
The video, after the jump.

The Federal Aviation Administration will build its new consolidated air traffic control center in New York, but it remains unclear if the facility will be located in Ronkonkoma.
On Monday, acting FAA Administrator Michael Huerta met with local elected officials and toured Long Island MacArthur Airport (LIMA), one of the locations being proposed to house a new regional air traffic control facility.
Huerta told the Associated Press that the FAA is "very early in the process for a very important decision."
Among the local officials joining Huerta Monday were Islip Town Supervisor Tom Croci, Islip Deputy Supervisor Trish Bergin Weichbrodt, Islip Councilman John Cochrane, Rep. Tim Bishop, Rep. Steve Israel and Sen. Chuck Schumer.
Choosing a new location for its NextGen air traffic control facility is part of the FAA's $2.3 billion modernization plan that will consolidate its 49 air traffic control facilities across the Northeast to four over the next 10 years.
Town officials have been active in promoting MacArthur Airport as the right choice for the FAA's new consolidated facility.
"This site sits at the crossroads of some of Long Island's most critical transportation networks, and includes the largest industrial corridor in New York State," said Croci after yesterday's tour and meeting with Huerta. "There is simply no other location as prepared for this project as Long Island MacArthur Airport.
Huerta's visit to MacArthur comes two weeks after Croci hosted local and state elected officials at an as part of an effort to "encourage" the FAA to house its NextGen air traffic control facility at the airport.
At the press conference, Croci said locating the new facility at LIMA would preserve the 524 air traffic control positions currently on Long Island and add another 500 jobs. It would also have a positive impact on construction jobs in the region as well since the NextGen facility would be a new build, he said.

Spurred to action by a much-debated environmental impact report that favored establishing a strip mine near Temecula, Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone today introduced a proposal to make the county responsible for selecting what firms should be used to conduct environmental studies of private projects.
Stone's "Facilitate Accredited Impartial Required Studies Competently Ordered by Riverside County Entities" -- or FAIRSCORE -- calls for the county Transportation & Land Management Agency to vet companies that conduct EIRs and decide which ones qualify for which proposed projects.
"Environmental documents are too important," said Stone, whose Third District encompasses Temecula and Murrieta. "This will make the process more transparent."
Stone's proposal came on the heels of a series of public hearings spread out over the last year concerning , just inside the Temecula Valley.
The project triggered heated public debate and verbal skirmishes on the Board of Supervisors, where Stone and Supervisor Bob Buster contended with Supervisors John Benoit, Marion Ashley and John Tavaglione to halt it.
Benoit led the pro-quarry side, saying it was needed to increase the supply of asphalt, gravel and other infrastructure materials in the southwestern portion of the county, which lies within Stone's district.
Stone, with the overwhelming support of Temecula Valley residents, contested the proposed mine based on a slew of objections, including an allegedly defective EIR that the supervisor and mine opponents said failed to account for a number of potential health threats -- most prominently, the diffusion of silica dust that could be inhaled.
The EIR, done to meet state compliance standards spelled out in the California Environmental Quality Act, was the product of a contractor hired directly by Watsonville-based Granite Construction Inc., the owner of the proposed mine site.
The city of Temecula filed a lawsuit in July challenging the EIR's validity. The ending the quarry project for good.
Stone said FAIRSCORE would allay future concerns about the legitimacy and objectivity of vendors that conduct environmental reports.
The supervisor said the county TLMA could come up with a "list" of qualified vendors to which projects could be assigned -- all at the expense of the project applicant, not the county, which would act in an administrative capacity.
Riverside County Building Industry Association CEO Bill Blackenship expressed reservations.
"At the end of the day, we want a transparent policy that will stand up to legal scrutiny," he told the board. "But we shouldn't overreact to one application that got a lot of publicity. The current process the county has shouldn't just be thrown out."
The owner of a small firm that prepares CEQA documents also raised concerns about potentially being cut out of the list of prospects because Stone's proposed policy would inevitably "favor large companies."
Stone insisted the criteria for selecting EIR vendors would not be biased.
"The bottom line here is ... we can't have the fox guarding the hen house," he said.
Ashley and Buster lauded the concept, while Benoit withheld comment, inquiring only as to the costs of proceeding with FAIRSCORE. A county official estimated getting the policy enacted would result in about $100,000 in county outlays.
Tavaglione was absent from the meeting.
The supervisors voted to defer further action on FAIRSCORE to Dec. 11, when more discussion on convening an ad hoc committee to work on the proposal will be on the agenda.

Speech and Hearing
I chose an academic/research career because:
I was always curious about almost everything. Initially in
college I wanted to be a high school history teacher but soon
realized that I did not have the patience for high school-age
pupils. My freshman year was spent in the sciences (biology,
chemistry, and math) with English and a few other soft courses. A
friend suggested that I take an intro audiology course as an
elective during my sophomore year. During the class it became
apparent to me that this was a profession that I might enjoy,
mainly for two reasons. First, and most important, audiology
involved numbers, and I liked numbers. Second, it was a
profession that at that time was fairly new (there were only a
couple of textbooks at that time). During that first class, for
some reason, I decided that eventually I wanted to get a PhD and
I wanted to go to Northwestern University.
What do you do in your career as a teacher, scholar,
and/or researcher?
Following my PhD program, I worked for 2 more years at the
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and then took a
position as the Chief of the Audiology Section at the VA Medical
Center in Long Beach, California. The position in Long Beach also
involved an appointment in otolaryngology at the University of
California, Irvine. I took about 10 years to develop the program
at Long Beach into a research-oriented program, the key being the
recruitment of an excellent faculty that included Drs. Janet
Shanks, Cynthia Fowler, and John Preece. Our primary activities
at Long Beach were clinic and research. Occasionally, we taught
classes at local universities but not on a regular basis. After
20 years at Long Beach, which is probably long enough for anyone
to stay in one position, I moved to the VA at Mountain Home,
Tennessee, again to develop a program from scratch.
In addition to the cultural differences between California and
the hills of Tennessee, Mountain Home presented an opportunity to
be intimately involved in the local audiology academic program at
East Tennessee State University. This was in the early 1990s, and
the AuD was becoming the degree of choice. As both programs
developed and added faculty, the decision was made that we could
develop a strong AuD program using the resources of both
institutions. Today, our joint faculty consists of 11 PhDs and
several clinical audiologists. We have a strong program with
substantial resources.
As a Senior Research Career Scientist in the VA, I spend my
time working on my own projects and working with junior faculty
members who have various types of Research Career Development
Awards. In the VA, new PhD staff can apply for grants that pay
their salary and allow them to spend 80% of their time working on
their own research projects. I serve as the mentor for three
audiologists-Drs. Faith Akin, Rachel McArdle, and Sherri Smith.
The purpose of the Career Development program is to develop and
refine the research skills of individuals who eventually will
become independent investigators. In the academic program each
year, I teach the speech perception course to the AuD students
and quite often serve as the director of their graduate research
Speech perception and the acoustic reflex have been my two
areas of research interest. My interest in speech perception goes
back to my work with Dr. Don Dirks, who was studying the binaural
perception of speech in free field (anechoic chamber) and sound
field using a variety of azimuth locations for the speech and
noise signals. Following my dissertation that examined the
interactions of forward and backward masking, my research
interest changed to a more clinical phenomenon, the acoustic
reflex. At the time, I was interested in the amplitude and
adaptation characteristics of the acoustic reflex. Ultimately, my
research interests revolved back to speech perception, where I am
today. Currently, I am interested in the diagnostic and
rehabilitative information that can be gained by evaluating the
ability of listeners to understand speech in background noise
(multitalker babble). We have developed a words-in-noise (WIN)
protocol that evaluates the ability of patients to understand the
same words spoken by the same speaker in quiet and in noise
conditions. The aim is to convince all audiologists to use some
type of speech-in-noise task in their routine audiologic
How did you get to the position you have today?
The 2 years between my master's degree and the start of PhD
school were spent working primarily in the Auditory Research
Laboratory at UCLA with Dr. Don Dirks, with some time in the
clinic. Essentially, this position was like being in a PhD
program but without interruptions in the laboratory experience
caused by formal classes (obviously I preferred lab work to
classes!). When I started the PhD program at Northwestern, I
immediately went to work in Dr. Raymond Carhart's lab,
whereas my fellow students, who didn't have prior research
experience, spent most of the first year learning what type of
lab experiences they wanted.
What were the key factors in your academic/research
career decision(s)?
As I indicated above, my goal as an undergraduate, although it
may have been unrealistic at the time, was to get a PhD at
Northwestern. My undergraduate professor at East Tennessee State,
Dr. Dick Cornell, was a Vanderbilt graduate, through whom I knew
that the faculty members at Vanderbilt were almost all from
Northwestern. These factors, plus being a Vanderbilt legacy, made
Vanderbilt my first graduate stop. Little did I know then that my
journey to Northwestern would not be directly from Vanderbilt but
rather through a detour through UCLA, which had another
Northwestern connection in that Dr. Don Dirks at UCLA was a
recent Northwestern graduate. So, both logic and luck (being at
the right place at the right time) were key factors in attaining
my career goal of a research audiologist.
What do you like most about your career?
I am for the most part my own boss. My success or my failure
depends on me and my work. Through research, I have gotten to
know many scientists around the world. The highlight of my
professional career was spending springs in the early 1980s along
with my good friend Dr. Bob Margolis in Antwerp, Belgium, working
with our good friend Dr. Karel Van Camp, who is a physicist, on
the problems associated with multifrequency tympanometry.
What do you like least about your career?
I've never been able to have a sabbatical.
Who are your heroes/heroines?
In my early years, my grandparents and parents provided very good
role models. Frank Maples, my biology and chemistry science
teacher in high school, stirred my interest in academics and the
importance of learning. At the undergraduate level, Dr. Sol Adler
introduced me to the meaning of academics. As a master's
student, Dr. Freeman McConnell at Vanderbilt was an outstanding
model of a gentleman and scholar. Then as a lab assistant to Dr.
Don Dirks at UCLA, my eyes were really opened to all the various
tasks related to life as a researcher. At UCLA I started gaining
insight into the various aspects of experimentation and, perhaps
most important, writing. Finally, from Dr. Raymond Carhart I
learned that we are all students of the science of hearing and as
such are compelled to make contributions.
What advice would you give to an undergraduate or
master's student who expressed an interest in an
academic/research career in communication sciences and
First, get a strong background at the undergraduate level in the
sciences, math, and English (for writing). In audiology,
henceforth, academics will require both an AuD and a PhD. I would
strongly advise an individual with an AuD to work in an
auditory/vestibular laboratory as a research assistant before
going on for the PhD. I worked 2 years at UCLA before going to
Northwestern for my PhD. What I learned in those 2 years at UCLA
prepared me to get the most out of my PhD program. After all,
audiology is a clinical profession, and a researcher in a
clinical profession must be acquainted with what goes on in the
What was the best thing about your PhD program?
The size and diversity of the audiology faculty at Northwestern
was the big plus. Dr. Carhart was the recognized leader, or
"chief" as many referred to him. Drs. Peter Dallos, Tom
Tillman, Earl Harford, Noel Matkin, and Wayne Olsen all were
important to the program. The old Speech Annex building was so
small, everyone had to be friends. My fellow students were also
contributors. I learned a lot from the faculty, and oftentimes I
learned as much from my fellow students. The program enabled me
to spend as much time as I wanted in the laboratory. I most
enjoyed asking questions, designing experiments, analyzing data,
and writing papers. I least enjoyed data collection and the
structure of the classroom.
If you did your PhD program or your early career years
all over again, what would you do differently?
To get to graduate school in audiology in the early 60s, I was
required to take, I think, 45 quarter hours of speech pathology
courses and, I should add, speech clinic. I didn't want to
take those courses and clinics, but that was the route I had to
pursue in order to get into a graduate audiology program. Instead
of the speech pathology courses, I should have taken another year
or two of lab sciences and math, which would have better prepared
me for my doctoral studies. That option, however, was not
How do you find balance between your professional
activities and your personal life? What do you do to
All of the successful, competitive researchers I know work
extremely hard and work long hours. Working in research becomes a
way of life both professionally and personally. Working
substantially more than 40 hours a week is not an issue. You
don't even realize how many hours you work, because research
is not really work in the traditional sense, but rather research
is something that you enjoy doing, a way "to get your
kicks." I've realized that being a researcher is like
being self-employed even though you work for a big institution.
You have to work hard to keep things going. Researchers are
driven by their curiosity and their need to know the answers to
questions they pose. I must add that it is helpful to have a
significant other with a PhD who likewise has a substantial
commitment to research.
What will you be doing 5 years from now? 10 years from
Five years from now I will probably be about ready to retire in
the formal sense after almost 50 years in the profession. My
first ASHA Convention was in 1962 as a sophomore at ETSU. In
retirement I probably will continue to be available to work with
junior faculty. Maybe I'm wrong, but after 50 years or so I
think it will be impossible to stop what you have been doing.

Cool as Ice!
Mon Dieu, François! I realize it's a warm day outside, but it is positively freezing in here. Our guests will need coats, in August, no less. What are all these portable air conditioners doing here? Is that frost I see on the windows? François! I shudder—make that shiver—to think what this possibly could be about. Yes, this issue's theme is Cool Projects, but nowhere did it say frozen. And, when our editors said cool, I think they meant it in the sense of "really interesting and exciting". Never mind. Our guests will be here momentarily, and I don't think they are dressed for this. Quickly, run to Diane's Manteaux de Cuir across the street and beg her to provide us with some coats for tonight. Vite! Our guests are arriving as we speak.
Welcome, everyone, to a very chilly Chez Marcel. Please pardon the cold. My faithful waiter has once again taken a simple idea to its amusing, if somewhat outrageous, extreme. Nevertheless, he will return shortly with warm coats for all. In the meantime, please take your tables and make yourselves comfortable. Ah, François, you have returned with Diane. Thank you, Diane, for your help. While everyone slips into their coats, perhaps François can fetch the wine. There's a case of 2004 Bodegas Muga Reserva from Spain in the lower level of the cellar's east wing.
As François already has set the stage for us, we're going to explore some Linux coolness. The symbol of Linux coolness is, of course, the penguin. Tux, the Linux mascot (designed by Larry Ewing), is a penguin, and penguins show up pretty much everywhere you turn in the Linux world. In fact, you can't go near a Linux system, magazine, T-shirt, mouse pad, coffee mug or book, without running into some kind of penguin. That's okay for most people, because, well, penguins are cute.
Penguins and Linus Torvalds
Responsible for this whole penguin mania is Linus Torvalds, the Linux kernel's creator. When asked what he envisioned for a mascot, Linus replied, "You should be imagining a slightly overweight penguin, sitting down after having gorged itself, and having just burped. It's sitting there with a beatific smile—the world is a good place to be when you have just eaten a few gallons of raw fish and you can feel another burp coming."
Ah, François, you have returned. Please, pour for our guests. Enjoy the wine, mes amis. This Spanish beauty is very rich, very complex, yet fresh tasting and well balanced. Hmm...make sure you fill my glass as well, François.
The first item on tonight's menu is Matthew Miller's IceBreaker (Figure 1). The premise is similar to events you see every day in the news. A bunch of penguins need to be captured and sent off to Finland. They are all on an iceberg in Antarctica, in an area where global warming hasn't yet started breaking the ice. Penguins, as it turns out, need to travel with ice or they just won't behave. The question becomes, "How much ice?"
As you can imagine, shipping penguins to Finland is expensive, so the order of the day is small ice chunks. When you left-click on the iceberg, a line is drawn across it, separating the two areas of ice. If a penguin hits the line as it is being drawn, your cut effectively is halted. A right-click changes the direction of the cut from horizontal to vertical (or vice versa). To clear an iceberg and move on, you need to clear at least 80% of the ice. Should you manage the job, another penguin is added and you get to start over on the next level.
The more penguins you add, the more complicated it becomes, as they bounce frantically across the ice field. On the off chance that you find this all too simple, there's a menu of options where you can change the difficulty level. Click MENU on the lower right of the screen, and a pop-up menu appears (Figure 2). Not only can you change the difficulty here, but you also can turn sound effects on or off, check high scores and run the game in full-screen mode.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Bussey —
The Twin Cedars softball team turned the tables on Melcher-Dallas when the two teams met Thursday, June 14. The Saints beat Twin Cedars 7-6 back on May 24. This time it was the Sabers who escaped with the one run victory. T-C had a three-run third inning that propelled them to a 4-3 win over the Saints.
The Sabers scored one run in the top of the first. M-D scored two in the bottom half of the inning to grab a 2-1 lead. T-C scored three times in the third to go up 4-2. M-D scored once in the sixth to pull within one run at 4-3. The Saints had the tying run on third base in the bottom of the seventh, but the Sabers used some good defense to get out of the inning with the win.
Mackenzie Sedlock picked up the win for the Sabers. She pitched all seven innings. Sedlock gave up three earned runs, on eight hits and two walks. She struck out three.
Lexi Crozier took the loss for the Saints. She only gave up four hits and two walks. Crozier struck out five T-C batters. The M-D defense committed several errors that led to the Saber scores.
Brooke Dunkin and Brittney Roby each had two hits for T-C. Dunkin scored twice. Bailey Stone had the team's lone RBI.
Crozier had two hits for the Saints. Madyson Riebhoff, Morgan Mitchell, MacKenzie Suntken, Amanda Marlin, Kaylee Houston, and Maddie Roland each had one hit. Suntken and Marlin each had an RBI.
Twin Cedars is now 5-2 in the Bluegrass Conference, while the Saints fall to 6-3.

Beware third-party hotel sales calls
The American Numismatic Association has received several calls from dealers saying a third-party company has contacted them to book a hotel for the World's Fair of Money in Philadelphia. This company is not affiliated with the ANA or its official hotels.
Similar companies have contacted ANA dealers in the past. In some instances, these dealers were left without a hotel room when they arrived at the convention. Additionally, hotels booked through third-parties do not earn stars for dealers.
The phone number taken from an ANA dealer's phone traced these recent calls to Convention Expo Travel, of Henderson, Nev. The company has a C rating with the Better Business Bureau, with 37 complaints in the last three years.
Please book your hotels through the official channels. Direct links to book through the ANA include:
- Spring National Money Show (Hyatt Regency Denver)
- World's Fair of Money (Philadelphia Marriott Downtown and Courtyard Philadelphia Downtown)
- Fall National Money Show (Omni Dallas Hotel and Aloft Dallas Downtown)

The Locust Grove Public Works Authority met last week.
Mary Elizabeth Mach with Garver Engineering presented an update on the town's waste water treatment plant. Mach said the start date of Feb. 1, 2013, for new design and specifications for the plant is, "Simply put, unrealistic."
She said that date is not the recommendation of Garver Engineering and that Garver has been working with the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality to push the date six months to Aug. 1.
Mach said she is hopeful the date will be extended.
Mach said she told ODEQ the Feb. 1 date is not going to happen from a financial standpoint.
"They accepted this report as it stands and in that report you can see that Aug. 1 of 2013 is our date forsubmitting plans of specifications. You might say I am arguing with them (ODEQ) on the city's behalf." Mach added that if the town approves the consent order with Garver, the town has a better chance of getting the date moved to Aug. 1.
Geotechnical Services had not been included for this proposed design for the waste water treatment plant. Mach said Garver had subcontracted with Geotechnical Services in the past, but to "pass the savings on to you" she suggested the town contract with them directly on the waste water plant and in so doing save "several thousands of dollars." The PWA approved the work order with Garver to set up a design on the waste water plant.
The PWA took no action regarding a water tap for Joe McFarland who is father of town trustee Tony McFarland, and cannot make a decision on his father's water tap as they are related.
This left only Vice Mayor Heath Holman and Brenda Williams to make a decision and they did not have a quorum.
The PWA took no action on soliciting bids for water wells for residents along 570 Road who experience non-compliant water pressure. No residents along 570 Road were present at the meeting.
The PWA approved $150 Christmas bonuses for full-time employees and $75 for part-time employees.
The PWA tabled the meeting dates for the 2013 calendar.
The PWA approved paying invoice 4564 for $563 to J & W Mechanical. This was taken out of the water and sewer fund. This was for clearing a sewer line.
The PWA approved payment on invoices 4293 and 4346 for $1,883.60 to
S & D Electric. The funds were taken out of the water and sewer fund. The water plant pumps were not running. S & D replaced on pump and rebuilt the engine of another.
The PWA approved payment on an invoice for $1,302.24 to Pryor Stone for rock and screens for the water line replacement to be taken out of the PWA fund.
The PWA approved payment of invoice 0945704-IN for $6,010.79 to Water Products for pipes, couplings, and other items necessary for laying of the new water line.
The PWA discussed raising the rate of a water deposit for renters in town from $100 to $150 or $200. Town Clerk Tamatha Ogilvie said "Ninety-five percent of renters leave owning the town money on their water bill." Ogilvie said the deposit increase may help offset the loses. Town attorney Tammy Ward said she would have to check the law as it may not be legal to charge renters a different deposit rate than what is paid to home owners. No action was taken.
