Shame on the National Academy - Comments
And I thought it as bad enough that Francis Collins became head of the NiH. (And therefore in a very indirect way, sort of like my boss (or at least the grand-boss of the people who holds the purse-strings of my pay.)) This Templeton Prize bullshit is even worse.

Francis Collins might be a shoo-in, especially since it's happening at the NAS...he is the poster-boy after all for scientists who believe. Robert Wright's been trying really hard lately, but still a long shot (although N. Iowa beat Kansas so who knows?).
I'd be better at making a list of scientists who WON'T be receiving the award. You know, the reputable ones.

Thank you sir for pointing this out. I live in America and I cannot believe the things that are happening here. It seems more people are becoming outspoken on topics like this, but I feel we are losing the battle against illogical nonsense. The Texas school board removes Thomas Jefferson from their studies of great political minds, which will most likely affect other school systems in the country. Who ever buys the most text books gets to control what goes in them. Anyway, I agree. Shame on the US National Academy of Sciences.

Richard, There is a claim that yet another famous Oxford Atheist A. J. Ayer, recanted on his deathbed:
Peter Foges
"An Atheist Meets the Masters of the Universe"
"Privately, and secretly, the story is more intriguing. On the day of that first âdeathâ (the second and final one occurred eleven months later), Dr. George (attending physician) returned to Ayerâs bedside. âI came back to talk to him later that evening,â he told Cash. âVery discreetly, I asked him, as a philosopher, what was it like to have had a near-death experience? He suddenly looked rather sheepish. Then he said, âI saw a Divine Being. Iâm afraid Iâm going to have to revise all my various books and opinions.â
Please don't let us down when you go. I hope that Josh continues to have a video camera ready at all times.
Do you expect too much intellectual progress in the USA? Somebody is no doubt driving a car with a bumper sticker that says 'I'm a scientist and a Christian'.
The only way to put a stop to this is to outlaw faith schools and the initiation of defenseless children. I am feeling somewhat hopeful about the future as it seems that Roman Catholicism may be in its death throws. It will be the domino to knock out the others.
BTW Will you accept the invitation to attend the coronation of this year's winner?

CaptainMandate - I completely agree that the key phrases that start off the editorial are:
"elderly patient was admitted with pneumonia"
Dr George sees a "crumpled heap" and treats accordingly:
"Dr. George gave Ayer emergency oxygen and admitted him immediately to the intensive care unit, where his condition improved. âHe would not have survived the day.â
Of course this is a story about a oxygen deprived brain dying. What on earth makes Oxford educated people proclaim that the ramblings of those who are dying or suffering dementia are evidence of spectacular and other world insight?

Definitely Collins. But oh, hey, I'd better "HONOR A STRICT EMBARGO" on my guess.
But I just thought of something- doesnât the fact that Biologos is (at least in part) funded by a Templeton grant bring up a conflict of interest? I know that Collins resigned as president after he became head of the NIH, but he did start it and he still actively promotes their stated goals. Not that Templeton would let such a thing get in their way, but, still, it seems very sleazy and rather incestuous.
Oh, gee, I'm guessing again. I'd better remember to HONOR A STRICT EMBARGO on that.

I would bet on Simon Conway Morris, because only someone who can spend time in the bizarre wonderland of the Burgess Shale biota, yet still stick to the idea "the Creation (studies are )open-ended and endlessly fertile" (his quote from wiki) shows the kind of mental acrobatics and duplicity deserving of the Templeton Prize. Sad.

I was just on Youtube watching Ayaan Hirsi Ali: The Free Market and Morality. When I was shocked to see a message at the beginning saying that the John Templeton Foundation is in partnership with BigThink.com! It was also interesting what Martin Rees had to say about Richard Dawkins on The Science Network. Something like don't alienate the moderates because we need them on our side when it comes to fighting the fundi's. But then I remembered Sam Harris and how moderation can foster extremists. So Rees also said that when one tells a Muslim to either choose Darwin or Allah, there is only going to be one winner. I guess this goes back to the Dawkins/Krauss conversation at the Aurora Forum.

I called 202-334-2000 and explained what information I wanted and was transferred a couple of times and finally was able to ask the lady on the phone why they would give respectability to a group that either ignores or hates logic, science, and the scientific method and she stated that they were checked out and that they were a respectable philanthropic organization that supports the science she then gave me the following URLs to prove her point.
She also stated that allowing them the use of the facility does not give them any more respectability than they already have.
So now I wonder how much extra money they are paying the Academy for the use of their facilities.

Obviously the safe bet would be on Collins, (Frozen Waterfall Boy).
Incidentally, on crystal clear nights, far from city lights in northern Michigan, my home state, and also in the western United States, I've seen the Milky Way strewn across the sky like some spectacular diamond and light show. I've seen the Grand Canyon mid-morning on a haze-free day with the Sun burning thousands of brilliant colors into my brain. I've seen Bahamian beaches with blinding white talcum-powder sand leading up to electric, fluorescent, baby-blue bonefishing flats. And yes, I've seen frozen waterfalls in winter. I've seen these and other natural wonders that take your breath away, like everyone else here has I'm sure, and yet never once did I think there was some omnipotent force behind it all.
Collins says that on a hike in the wilderness he came upon a waterfall frozen in three streams, wich he took to represent the "Trinity".
But what if he had been walking a few days or weeks before or after that moment? Would the waterfall have been frozen in one stream, or two, or not frozen at all? What then of the "Trinity"?
I simply can't trust or take Collins seriously.

My guess is on Conjob Morris.
He hypnotically delivers the highest ratio of woo masquerading as science - all commingled with legit paleontology into a foetid ex recto mush - making it hard for the layman to tell which is which.
He is also incredibly clever at dissimulating quasi-presuppositional doctrines as philosophical ratiocinations.

That the NAS has agreed to host the announcement of the 2010 Templeton prize is indeed a joke, but Iâm somewhat taken aback by Richardâs (and others on this board) hostility towards Francis Collins. Silly religious beliefs aside, Collins is a genuine, intelligent scientist. And I have to think that if he applied the same rigor to checking the veracity of the assertions made by his religionâs holy book as he does with his science, he would renounce his Christianity. He accepts the fact of evolution and even goes as far as trying to explain to Christian readers of his book why they are barking up the wrong tree when they deny the evidence for evolution.
By all means, ridicule the NASâ decision. Ridicule Collinsâ religious beliefs. But donât ridicule Collins the scientist.

To be fair to collin's I was walking through the bush and stubbed my toe three times, I was nearly converted to religion for in my toe based agony I cried aloud: "Jesus Christ!" spontaneously! Explain that science! Ha!

My email to the NAS (email@example.com & email@example.com):
Is it true that the NAS is going to desecrate itself by hosting the Templeton prize? We can't blame the religious organization (John Templeton Foundation) for seeking any means available to legitimize itself. But as the NAS is intended to rise above ideological concerns in pursuit of truth, this association with the Templeton Prize can only tarnish its (NAS's) image and credibility. Sure, it's a lot more than thirty silver pieces but betrayal of principle cannot be concealed by curtain of cash.
Cancel now, due to irreconcilable ideological differences. The NAS has the option of doing the right thing. It may be costly but the cost of scandal is higher. Redemption, after the fact, cannot be bought.
Please correct this egregious error.
Thank you for your consideration,
Thomas Ray

Joshua Canning, 44, died July 9, 2013 of injuries sustained in an accident. Born in Santa Barbara on June 19, 1969, Josh was the quintessential Santa Barbara guy who loved surfing, biking, beach sunsets and his huge circle of best friends. His friend Jeff Clark said it best: "Santa Barbara has lost its brightest light. No one embodied the very nature of SB like JC did. I will forever miss your brilliant smiles, barrel chested laugh, bear hugs and awesomely unique good nature. I have never ever known anyone as positive and genuinely friendly as he. SB will not be the same without him ever again. Godspeed my friend."
A 1987 graduate of Santa Barbara High School, Josh went on to Santa Barbara City College and UCSB where he earned a B.S. degree in Environmental Studies. He was employed by the City of Santa Barbara as a Senior Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator - or as he would say, "Ocean Protector" - since 2007. Josh was so proud of his recently -earned Wastewater Treatment Operator Grade Five Certificate, which is the highest level test and the hardest to pass.
Josh enjoyed life to the fullest and his smiles and huge, warm hugs endeared him to all he met. He left us far too soon and will be sorely missed by all of his friends and family. He is survived by his sister, Allison Canning Curtis, his mother Patricia Canning and his father, Joseph Canning, all of Santa Barbara.
In lieu of flowers, you may make a donation to Heal the Ocean in Josh's name: P. O. Box 90106 Santa Barbara, CA 93190

The Jahangir Mahal in Orchha, Madhya Pradesh, India is one of the most finest and vivid examples of classical Mughal architecture. The Jahangir Mahal was completed in the year 1598 by the then Mughal Prince Salem (later known as the Mughal Emperor Jahangir) in the city of Orchha.
It was built to be a garrison and a palace, that would allow the Mughals greater control over the rebellious Bandela. The domes of the palace, were built according to Timurid customs and its grand Iwans (rectangular halls) were specially built for the entry of war elephants.

The Sharon Health Department currently has pneumococcal vaccine available, according to the Sharon town website.
The vaccine protects against 23 types of pneumonia and, unlike the flu vaccine, which is administered in the fall, the pneumococcal vaccine may be given at any time during the year.
Immunizations are given at the Health Department on Tuesdays from 3-5 p.m. and Fridays from 9-10:30 am.
Residents can get pneumoccocal disease, but some people are more susceptible. The following lists those who should consider immunization:
- All adults 65 years of age or older
- Anyone who has a long-term health problem (cardiovascular disease, cochlear implants, lung disease, diabetes, alcoholism and chronic liver disease)
- Anyone who has a disease or condition that lowers the body's resistance to infection (Hodgkin's disease, kidney failure, organ transplant, leukemia, HIV, sickle cell)
- Anyone who is taking any drug or treatment that lowers the body's resistance to infection (long-term steroids, radiation therapy, certain cancer drugs)
- Those aged 19 through 64 who smoke cigarettes.
A one-time, revaccination is recommended for residents aged 65 and older if they were vaccinated more than five years previously and were younger than 65 at the time.
Appointments are necessary, but there is no charge.

April 14, 2010
When you're hooked to a machine and life is fading away, it can be too late to make decisions for yourself. That leaves it up to the people closest to you to determine your fate. Suzanne Smith, a Chaplin at Martha Jefferson Hospital, often supports families through these kinds of crises.
"Through the years, I have been in many situations with families where there was conflict. In reality, more families have disagreements about religion, values, beliefs, and sometimes power struggles," said Smith.
When emotion clouds decision-making, the Advance Directive - a legal document protecting a patient's choice about health care - can provide a clearer course of action.
"An Advance Directive is about your care while you're still living. More importantly, who you would trust to make decisions for you if you couldn't make decisions for yourself," said Smith.
The Terri Schiavo provides a relevant case study. A family fund kept Schiavo on life support in a vegetable state while her future was decided by courts. Years later, she was taken off life support.
"A few years ago, the Terri Schiavo case started a lot of conversations. People saying to their partners 'don't ever do that to me.' I can understand that, but that's also a very vague comment. Don't do which part? Don't what? Don't do that period of time? Don't do that type of treatment? So the conversations are crucial," said Smith.
Smith and other staffers will be available at Martha Jefferson Friday, April 16 to talk with anyone who is interested in starting the conversation toward an Advance Directive. They'll be able to answer questions about the directive and help interested parties fill one out.
"If you fill one out, it's not necessarily set in stone. The patient can later on change their directive if they gain new insight into their treatments," said Nurse Matthew Smith.
The Advance Directive form can provide a voice for a patient who can no longer speak for himself or herself.
"The question is not 'if that happens to me....' The question is 'when that happens to me, who is the person I trust to get the information?' To have the conversation and make a decision that would meet my goals," said Suzanne.
As uncomfortable as it is to think about end-of-life decisions, having an Advance Directive form can help you plan how you want to live your life.
People interested in the Advance Directive help are encouraged to stop by the Martha Jefferson Hospital lobby between 7am and 7pm for free consultations.

Holiday Shopping Tips
By Ofc. Regenfelder
Saturday, Dec 2 2006, 09:20 AM
1) Clean out your trunk before leaving for your shopping experience. This will give you space to put your holiday goodies where they cannot be observed from the exterior of the vehicle.
2) If possible, only take the credit card you will use and a driver's license with you. These items can be placed in your pocket so you do not have to bring your purse with you. Purses are targets for thieves. If possible, leave them at home.
3) Preplan your shopping. Know where you are going. There are a lot of drivers on the road this time of year that are browsing while they drive and not paying enough attention to the road. If you know where you are going, you can concentrate on driving.
4) If you will be shopping until it gets dark, try and park where there are street lights or parking lights so that you will be in a lighted area when you return to your car.
5) If you are going to leave valuables in the car, keep them out of sight. Put them in the trunk or out of view under the seat.
6) While you shop, if you had to take your purse with you, keep it with you. Do not leave it in the cart while you select items from the shelf or try on clothing. It may not be there when it is time to check out.
7) When returning to your car with your holiday cheer, have your keys in your hand so you can access your vehicle quickly without searching for your keys. Also, do not leave your newly purchased gems unattended while you get the kids situated, start the car, unlock the driver's door, etc. It does not take long before those items could be gone.
8) Return home for some holiday nog and a foot massage from your significant other!
If you do become a victim of theft during your shopping experience, have emergency credit card phone numbers available so that you can cancel your account before the criminals have a chance to use it and call the police .
I hope these hints are helpful and make your holiday shopping experience more cheerful!

Looking At Shedding Some Added Holiday Pounds?
It's that time of the year when the holidays may take the best of us as for sampling all of those special holiday recipes and treats while not taking full advantage of our exercise routines. Before you know it, 2008 will be here and people will be making their New Year's resolutions. Is losing weight and staying fit one that's on your list? The Greenfield Parks & Recreation Department can help fill that void and is once again offering it's Holiday Break Fitness Mix classes beginning December 26th and going through January 11th.
Back by popular demand, join us for this special holiday break "mix"! Stay fit while enjoying a potpourri of fitness classes and instructors (please review the class descriptions in the Fall Recreator.) All classes will be taught with the beginner in mind. For those no longer beginners, try a different class to spice up your fitness routine.Here is how it works, sign up NOW for the fitness potpourri program and pay one low fee. Then, attend as many of the classes listed as your schedule allows. Program requires a minimum enrollment of 15 people, so be sure to register before Thursday, December 20th.

Congratulations Karen!
Karen Malecki, the Parks & Recreation Department's Older Adult and Volunteer Services Supervisor, was honored last night at the Greenfield Chamber of Commerce's 2007 Awards and Recognition Banquet, held at Carl's Catering.

"Keeping the Wreath Green"
The "Keeping the Wreath Green" campaign will start on December 6, 2007 and go through January 2, 2008. The idea behind this campaign is to show how well fire safety is practiced throughout the holiday's. We will do this by using a Christmas Wreath and placing 50 green lights on it, any time there is a fire incident in the City of Greenfield we will replace a green light with a red one. The goal to this is to have all 50 green lights remaining at the end. There are several ways to practice fire safety during the holiday's such as, watch candle useage-keep open flames away from combustible materials (wood and paper.) Limit the use of extension cords (try not to overload electical outlets and use power strips with surge protection in place of extension cords.) If you have a real Christmas tree keep it watered so that it does not become to dry.
Parks are not the cause of high taxes-2
Often when there's a debate over holding the line on taxes, County Park operations are brought up, as if Park expenditures are the fault for our high tax burden. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Last year, for every $100 that a Milwaukee resident paid in total property taxes, only $1.62 went to fund the 15,000-acre park system.
For 2008, the County Executive proposes cutting taxes devoted to Parks by 5.86%, compared to this year. The County Board's Finance Committee alternative would impose a $24.2 million levy which amounts to a $2.1 million increase over this year's budget. That increase would equate to an additional $4.41 on the annual property tax bill for a family living in a $130,000 house.
Neither funding alternative reaches the $26.9 million levy that was devoted to Parks in 1983. You read that right: the County is funding Parks at a level that's less than what existed 25 years ago!
From 1983 to 2007, the County's overall tax levy grew by 112%, outpacing inflation. Yet, during that same time, the County cut the Parks portion of that levy by 18.3%.
Our Parks aren't the cause of high property taxes. Don't let anyone tell you different.
New Berlin not alone in quest for water
I've written extensively about New Berlin's need for city of Milwaukee water and Milwaukee's requirement that certain conditions be met before New Berlin gets water.
Milwaukee is insisting that New Berlin provide low-income housing and mass transit in exchange for much-need public drinking water.
Now Brookfield and Elm Grove are considering getting involved in negotiations for Milwaukee water.
If they do, I am curious to see what Milwaukee will ask those suburbs to offer in return.

State Senate votes to end Frankenstein veto
The state Senate today approved a constitutional amendment that I co-sponsored to eliminate the Wisconsin governor's use of the Frankenstein veto.
The vote by the Senate was unanimous, 33-0.
The constitutional amendment must go back to the Assembly so the Assembly can addres the date change for the statewide referendum on the veto. Originally, the amendment called for an election date of April 2007. The amendment approved by the Senate calls for a statewide referendum to take place April 1, 2008.
The Assembly is expected to concur with the Senate's action.
The amendment would prohibit future governors, regardless of party affiliation, from creating new words or sentences in their budget vetoes in order to appropriate spending that has not been approved by the state Legislature.

No where in this article was that brought out,and all the stories with links to the above were "Sanitized" as well. I had to Google his name and read the entire Wikipedia to find out for sure.It was obvious he was a Democrat in just the headline.If he had been a republican the words "Republican" and "Racist" would have been in large font in both the headline and scattered all through the article.

Introduction: Victorian Other WorldsCora Kaplan
(Southampton University / Queen Mary, University of London)
Victorian Britain's 'other worlds', like our own, were connected to and inspired by the material world of everyday life. The nineteenth-century fascination with alterity of every kind is grounded in its industrial and imperial expansion – perhaps especially when it seeks to escape from their effects. The Victorian imagination – by no means confined to literary and visual art, but expressed there with astonishing richness and brio – was energized by the dizzying and disruptive pace of modernity. The threats and promises of political reform, from the abolition of slavery to the extension of the franchise, not to mention the changing and contested relations between men and women and the accelerated development of scientific knowledge all find their possibilities and drawbacks tried out as romance or fantasy, often juxtaposed with the detailed depiction of the grim conditions of work in Victorian Britain, as they are in Charles Kingsley's Water-Babies: A Fairy Tale for a Land-Baby (1863), but also erupting in his social novels of the late eighteen forties, Yeast (1848) and Alton Locke (1850). Mid-century adult fiction was a mixed genre in which realism and fancy were intertwined. The alternative to dystopian futures draws longingly on the past. The fondness for medieval stories and settings in Tennyson or the Pre-Raphaelites, the idealizing of feudal society in Disraeli's fiction, draw this invented past forward, appropriating conservative social imaginary in the face of radical challenges to it in the Victorian everyday. ...

Adaptive Advantages of Carotenoid Pigments in Alpine and Subalpine Copepod Responses to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Induced Phototoxicity
Date: May 2010
Creator: Kovach, Matthew James
Description: Alpine zooplankton are exposed to a variety of stressors in their natural environment including ultraviolet radiation. Physiological coping mechanisms such as the accumulation of photoprotective compounds provide these zooplankton protection from many of these stressors. Elevated levels of carotenoid compounds such as astaxanthin have been shown to help zooplankton survive longer when exposed to ultraviolet radiation presumably due to the strong antioxidant properties of carotenoid compounds. This antioxidant capacity is important because it may ameliorate natural and anthropogenic stressor-induced oxidative stress. While previous researchers have shown carotenoid compounds impart increased resistance to ultraviolet radiation in populations of zooplankton, little work has focused on the toxicological implications of PAH induced phototoxicity on zooplankton containing high levels of carotenoid compounds. This thesis discusses research studying the role that carotenoid compounds play in reducing PAH induced phototoxicity. By sampling different lakes at elevations ranging from 9,500' to 12,700' in the front range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, copepod populations containing different levels of carotenoid compounds were obtained. These populations were then challenged with fluoranthene and ultraviolet radiation. Results discussed include differences in survival and levels of lipid peroxidation among populations exhibiting different levels of carotenoid compounds, and the toxicological and ecological implications of ...

Analysis of the one-horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) habitat in the Royal Chitwan National Park, Nepal.
Date: December 2005
Creator: Thapa, Vivek
Description: This study analyzes the remaining suitable habitat of the one-horned rhinoceros, Rhinoceros unicornis, in Royal Chitwan National Park of Nepal. An April 2003 Landsat image was classified into eight land cover types: wetland, sand, water, mixed forest, sal forest, agriculture, settlement, and grassland. This image was converted into habitat suitability maps using cover, food, and water. The rhinoceros prefers grassland habitat with oxbow lakes and closed canopy during the monsoon season. Nominal values of five parameters were used to create a map of habitat suitability index. The map was categorized into four habitat classes: highly unsuitable, unsuitable, moderately suitable habitat, and suitable. Landscape metrics, patch metrics and class metrics associated with habitat were determined through the use of FRAGSTATS.

Assessing Outcomes of a Recycling Education and Service Program within an Elementary School
Date: August 2005
Creator: Cunningham-Scott, Carey Beth
Description: During the spring 2004 a pilot school recycling program was implemented within Robert E. Lee Elementary. The primary goal of the program was to determine how recycling education in the school would affect curbside recycling rates within the surrounding community. The program was a cooperative effort between the University of North Texas, City of Denton Solid Waste Department and Keep Denton Beautiful. Throughout the first months of the study during the spring 2004, an increase in curbside recycling within the Robert E. Lee Elementary attendance zone was observed, with a dramatic decrease in participation over the summer and a rapid increase once again during the second full semester of the study. In a survey conducted with 3rd and 5th grade students at the pilot project school, most students expressed positive attitudes about recycling. Students whose survey responses indicated a high level of knowledge about what could be recycled were 37% more likely to claim to recycle regularly, than those students that scored low on the knowledge portion of the survey. Although the total amount of waste generation (recyclable and non-recyclable) at Robert E. Lee Elementary did not decrease during the study, the campus was able to divert recyclable material from ...

Assessing the Spatial and Temporal Distribution of MTBE and BTEX Compounds in Lake Lewisville, Texas February 1999 - February 2000
Date: August 2000
Creator: Lee, Anne W.
Description: The spatial and temporal distribution of Methyl Tertiary-Butyl Ether (MTBE) and BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylenes) compounds were assessed in a multipurpose reservoir, Lake Lewisville, Texas between February 1999 and February 2000. Concentrations of MTBE ranged from 0.0 - 16.7 mg/L. Levels of MTBE in the lake were related to watercraft. BTEX concentrations were never detected above 2.0 mg/L during the sampling period. Finished drinking water from Denton and the Upper Trinity Regional Water District (UTRWD) Treatment Plants were also tested for MTBE and BTEX. MTBE and BTEX were not detected in UTRWD water samples. Denton's finished water samples never exceeded 2.2 mg/L for MTBE and BTEX was not detected except for one replicate of 1.1 mg/L toluene.

Assessment of the efficacy of a constructed wetland to reduce or remove wastewater effluent estrogenicity and toxicity using biomarkers in male fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas Rafinesque, 1820).
Date: December 2000
Creator: Hemming, Jon M.
Description: Vitellogenin in Pimephales promelas was used to assess estrogenicity of a local municipal effluent. Vitellogenin induction in male P. promelas increased in frequency and magnitude with increased exposure duration and was greater ("=0.05) than controls after 2 and 3 weeks of exposure. The level of vitellogenesis induced by effluent exposure was high compared to similar studies. A spring season evaluation followed. Biomarkers in P. promelas were used to assess the efficacy of a treatment wetland to remove toxicity and estrogenicity in final treated wastewater effluent. Comparisons were made with an effluent dominated stream and laboratory controls. Vitellogenin, GSIs (gonado-somatic indices), HSIs (hepato-somatic indices) and secondary sexual characteristics were biomarkers used in P. promelas models to assess aqueous estrogenicity. Biological indicators used to assess general fish health included hematocrit and condition factors. The estrogenic nature of the effluent was screened, concurrent with fish exposure, with GC/MS analysis for target estrogenic compounds including: 17-b estradiol, estrone, ethynylestradiol, Bisphenol A, nonylphenolic compounds, phthalates, and DDT. Plasma vitellogenin measured in P. promelas was significantly elevated (p < 0.0001) at the inflow site of the wetland and stream sites. GSIs for these exposures were less (a=0.001) at the wetland inflow site. At wetland sites closest ...

An Assessment of the Use of Seeding, Mowing, and Burning in the Restoration of an Oldfield to Tallgrass Prairie in Lewisville, Texas
Date: August 1999
Creator: Windhager, Steven
Description: An examination of the effectiveness of seeding, burning, and mowing in the reestablishment of tallgrass prairie species on overgrazed and abandoned pastureland. The study site is a 20 acre tract on U.S. Corps of Engineers land below Lake Lewisville in Denton County, Texas. The site was partitioned into thirty-nine 40 by 40 meter plots with seeding (carried out in 1996) and management treatment (burning, mowing, and no maintenance carried out in 1998) randomly applied following a two level design. For each plot, nine stratified-random 0.1 m2 subplots were examined and shoot counts for each species recorded. The effects of the treatments on individual species and species richness were analyzed with a two-way ANOVA followed by a SNK multiple range test, both on ranked data. Community level analysis was conducted with both a MANOVA on ranked data and a Canonical Correspondence Analysis on raw data. Results indicate that seeding positively affected species richness, particularly when combined with either burning or mowing in the early spring. Mowing also significantly increased species richness in areas that were not seeded, while burning negatively affected species richness on unseeded plots. Treatments significantly affected community composition with treatments having the most clear effect on spring and ...

Bioaccumulation of triclocarban, triclosan, and methyl-triclosan in a North Texas wastewater treatment plant receiving stream and effects of triclosan on algal lipid synthesis.
Date: August 2007
Creator: Coogan, Melinda Ann
Description: Triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC), widely used antimicrobial agents found in numerous consumer products, are incompletely removed by wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) processing. Methyl-triclosan (M-TCS) is a more lipophilic metabolite of its parent compound, TCS. The focus of this study was to quantify bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) for TCS, M-TCS, and TCC in Pecan creek, the receiving stream for the City of Denton, Texas WWTP by using field samples mostly composed of the alga Cladophora sp. and the caged snail Helisoma trivolvis as test species. Additionally, TCS effects on E. coli and Arabidopsis have been shown to reduce fatty acid biosynthesis and total lipid content by inhibiting the trans-2 enoyl- ACP reductase. The lipid synthesis pathway effects of TCS on field samples of Cladophora spp. were also investigated in this study by using [2-14C]acetate radiolabeling procedures. Preliminary results indicate high TCS concentrations are toxic to lipid biosynthesis and reduce [2-14C]acetate incorporation into total lipids. These results have led to the concern that chronic exposure of algae in receiving streams to environmentally relevant TCS concentrations might affect their nutrient value. If consumer growth is limited, trophic cascade strength may be affected and serve to limit population growth and reproduction of herbivores in ...

Bioconcentration of Triclosan, Methyl-Triclosan, and Triclocarban in the Plants and Sediments of a Constructed Wetland
Date: August 2011
Creator: Zarate, Frederick M., Jr.
Description: Triclosan and triclocarban are antimicrobial compounds added to a variety of consumer products that are commonly detected in waste water effluent. The focus of this study was to determine whether the bioconcentration of these compounds in wetland plants and sediments exhibited species specific and site specific differences by collecting field samples from a constructed wetland in Denton, Texas. The study showed that species-specific differences in bioconcentration exist for triclosan and triclocarban. Site-specific differences in bioconcentration were observed for triclosan and triclocarban in roots tissues and sediments. These results suggest that species selection is important for optimizing the removal of triclosan and triclocarban in constructed wetlands and raises concerns about the long term exposure of wetland ecosystems to these compounds.

Bioreactor Landfill Cell Feasibility Study ' Reference to City of Denton Subtitle-D Permit #1590A Landfill
Date: May 2002
Creator: Roberts, Elizabeth
Description: The City of Denton Landfill, Permit #1590A, utilizes "Dry-Tomb" techniques for disposal and promotion of municipal solid waste stabilization, as described by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) prohibition in 40 CFR. Bioreactor research suggests re-circulating leachate increases biodegradation rates and reduces long-term monitoring from fifty years to less than ten years. Current procedures that are followed at Denton's landfill, literature review and the use of the Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance (HELP) model, suggest that a bioreactor landfill cell is worthy of further research. Re-circulating leachate and augmenting it with additional liquid will increase biodegradation and the need to design and build a landfill gas collection system to capture methane for energy recovery uses.

"He had the look and the type that people like, so he made pretty good money here," the club 's manager, Gordy Bryan, told AP. Gordy also specifically claimed that David used to do the Full Monty and perform lap dances for Dick's Cabaret's "mostly male" customers.
While neither David nor Idol's producers have addressed this issue publicly, the speculation and rumors are now focused on whether or not this revelation will disqualify David from the competition. This remains to be seen, since Idol's past manner of handling contestant scandals has been schizophrenically flip-floppy: Producers kicked off 2003 finalist Frenchie Davis when topless photos of her surfaced online, but allowed Antonella Barba to stay after her racy photos made their way on to the Interweb. And they booted Corey Clark after they learned of his criminal record, but kept on other alleged smooth criminals like Scott Savol.
Therefore, it will be mighty interesting to see how American Idol addresses this David H. issue. Because while the show is supposed to be a family-friendly, apple-pie-eatin' affair, it's a fact in the rock/pop world that if every singer with a shady past was refused a record contract...well, let's face it, there'd probably be nothing but staticky white noise on the radio.
And besides, being a boy-toy lapdancer still isn't as embarrassing a past as being in Boyz N Girls United. (Snicker...) I personally say keep David H. on, and let America decide whether or not they approve of his "lifestyle."
So, what do you think? Should David Hernandez be eliminated from American Idol? Post your stripped-bare thoughts below.

1.) Stop dieting for a while. Does that sound strange and scary? I am not saying you should go straight to the fridge and start eating everythig you see in front of you. For many of us, diet means punishment. Right now we are learning how to love and appreciate ourselves, so it's not time for beating ourselves up.
2.) Make a list of all the advantages and positive emotions of eating too much. You heard me right! There are pros about keeping a bad habit, otherwise we would have stopped already. We need to identify these advantages, so we can fill our needs with new good habits.

Wanda Ferrin fills her husband's prescription for the generic antibiotic doxycycline at a Target in Simi Valley. For years, the medication has cost her $6 a month.
In February, however, the price tripled to $18 for 30 pills. And this month, it skyrocketed to $133.
This is noteworthy enough. But what happened next makes the entire business of drug pricing a study in lunacy.
"A pharmacy clerk at Target suggested running the prescription through the company's discount program," Ferrin, 61, recalled. "After a minute at the computer, the clerk I'd been dealing with came back and said my price was now $8."
That's right: A $6 drug turns into an $18 drug and then a $133 drug. But with a little retail hocus-pocus, it can be changed to an $8 drug.
Talk about a trip through the looking glass.
I heard a number of stories similar to Ferrin's after writing recently about a CVS customer who saw her bill for generic doxycycline jump from $4.30 to $165.
One reader told me about a doubling of the price of the generic gout medicine colchicine. Another cited prices for the generic version of the blood-clot blocker Plavix that ran from $21 to $400.
Question: How does this happen? Answer: It's complicated.
The ingredients of prescription drugs come from all over the world these days. Sometimes there are shortages, sometimes not. Sometimes numerous manufacturers will produce a generic drug, pushing prices down. Sometimes only a handful of makers will be in the game.
There are industry lists of so-called average wholesale prices for generic drugs, but pharmacists say these are meaningless because they're not the prices wholesalers or pharmacy chains pay.
"The average wholesale price is a made-up number," said Esther Lainer, a pharmacist at an independent drugstore in Beverly Hills. "Nobody goes by the average wholesale price."
So how are generic drug prices set? Apparently, it's anything goes.
Lainer described her own process for buying drugs. She and other independent pharmacists in the region have formed a buying group, and together they negotiate the best possible price with a wholesaler.
The wholesaler, for its part, haggles prices with drug manufacturers. The manufacturers set prices at whatever level they think the market will bear.
But manufacturers aren't solely to blame. Pharmaceutical economists told me that drugstores often jack up prices for generics as an easy way to boost revenue. Wholesalers might also cut themselves in for extra profits by boosting prices to drugstores.
Meanwhile, Lainer said, insurers have caught on to the pricing shenanigans and often reimburse drugstores for patients' claims at levels they believe are closer to a drug's actual cost — in other words, below what a manufacturer, wholesaler or drugstore may have charged.
Insurers also keep patients in the dark by failing to inform them of what's actually happening in the market. All the patient typically is aware of is his or her co-pay or coinsurance cost.
I asked Target to explain the pricing roller coaster that Ferrin described. Jessica Deede, a company spokeswoman, said she couldn't discuss an individual customer's experience.
But she said that "many factors can impact pharmacy charges, including a guest's insurance plan, price changes from manufacturers, if a provider has named the pharmacy a preferred location and the guest's deductible."

Bourbon Barrel Aged Goodnight Bodacious - offered on tap at Ashley's in Westland for the Shorts vs. Greenbush "throwdown" of Champions. As a lover of the original Goodnight Bodacious, I was very excited to learn that Shorts would be offering a barrel-aged version at this event. It pours pretty sludgy and completely black with a frothy, tan-colored foam head that has decent retention and leaves just a bit of lacing behind.
At first, the beer was served way too cold and it didn't have the "oomph" quite like I was expecting/hoping. But after letting it warm up for about 30 minutes or so, my expectations were finally met. Lots of smooth, bourbon-soaked oak aromas that mesh with sweet, creamy chocolates. Woody, nutty, rustic, and boozy, with a solid amount of vanilla on the back-end. I keep thinking "coconut", too, although it's not prominent enough for me to say for sure.
Quite pungent and strong on the nostrils, and the bourbon barrel aging is definitely noticeable. The tap handle was mislabeled as just the original Goodnight Bodacious and people were questioning whether or not it was barrel aged. One whiff and my concerns were washed away. It seems that much of the hop character from Goodnight has faded and what's leftover are mostly the "stout-y" characteristics. What do you expect after barrel-aging, though?
The first sip is met with an unexpected amount of dark-fruit sweetness that's quickly washed away by a collaboration of chocolate and barrel. Heaps of smooth, milky cocoa blends into a savory amount of heavy oak, whiskey (more so than bourbon, seemingly), wet wood, and some faint vanilla in the finish. Very nice integration of the barrel flavors as to not overpower everything else, but still come through so robust and strong.
Surprisingly enough, the hops are actually damn powerful on the palate, despite going completely under the radar in the aroma. They provide an ashy bitterness and even a lightly citric character that, if nothing else, provides some balance and another level of complexity. The more this warms, the more the finish tastes like dark fudge and bourbon soaked oak-chips. I even get a little bit of maple syrup, but maybe I'm just imagining shit now. Nice mouth feel on this one - big, thick and creamy while still retaining a solid amount of carbonation.
Very awesome offering from Shorts - as I mentioned before, I was a big fan of Goodnight Bodacious, so I was very excited to give this one a try. I'd like to see them bottle it, although I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. But they definitely should. Very good barrel integration while maintaining the flavors well from the base beer.

big thanks to zaphog for hooking this in a LNBA BIF. enjoyed from a mystery brewing tulip.
a - brew poured watery black with a thin mocha tan fizzy head that fizzled away rather quick leaving some lacing skin on the glass and some fiz islands on the surface of the beer.
s - nice chocolatey roast with some decent hopping. smells like a hoppy stout, which i dig.
t - the hops jump up and slap you in the face 5 times before you swallow your first gulp. yowza...then a big tsunami of roasted malt. black ipas are an interesting breed and this one is a double ipa. as advertised a double ipa with some big roasted malts as the backbone.
m - medium to full bodied, but far from chewy. juice like fullness. coats my mouth in bitterness.
o - overall this is a style that is usually a miss for me. there are a few that i really enjoyed (wookey jack, either/or, 5 yrs later, etc) and this one is on the spectrum of the ones i enjoyed, but doesn't hang with the ones i mentioned in my opinion...but this is better than a lot of offerings for this style that i've gotten to try.. definitely worth a try if you get the chance.

With Bardens Boudoir now just a distant memory, The Nest has firmly established itself as a Dalston clubbing heavyweight since it opened in October 2010. The club boasts an industrial chic look and (mercifully) more salubrious toilets than its former incarnation, but the music programme remains the same. 'We will strive to showcase the very best in new, fresh, cutting-edge talent,' the organisers claim. 'We are not interested in promoting acts that have 'made it'; we want to promote acts that will make it.' They seem to be holding hard to their stated intent. Weekly nights like Lemonade and Your Mum's House shout out the club's hip electro and disco credentials and a solid programme of international, alternative DJs make this an even more appealing venue in which to nest-up for the night.

best club in dalston by far! went there last weekend, the music was sick and the club was packed. amazing line-ups. also, this is one of those dark'n'dirty clubs we all love
The best club in East London by far!! Best sound system, DJs and crowd. Left uni two years ago, wish it had been there back then!!! Looking forward to a lot more dancing this weekend....
I have been coming to The Nest for a while now - and it's by far my guilty pleasure! Having seen some TOP line up's, I have also been able to discover some new music and follow some new talent. Gasaffelstein completely blew my mind last Friday - he really tore the club apart - and the atmosphere was electric. I had never really heard of him - and now I can't wait to next see him play. Big thanks to The Nest for arriving on the scene - My Friday nights are now more entertaining.
Went down for Stop.Drop.Roll on Friday, Benji B Brackles and Deadboy killed it! Cool venue, nice sound, suuuuuuuuuuper dark. Loads of sick line-ups coming up.
Dope venue headed down for Russ Yallop, sound was ace, lets hope they keep up their great booking policy!

An essential element of notarization is verifying that a signature on the document belongs to the signer. Notarization provides assurance that a document is authentic and intended to be in force, so in its Recommended Notary Practices, the NNA reminds all Notaries to:
Always have the signature on the document affixed or acknowledged in your presence.
There are different signature requirements for the two most common types of notarizations: acknowledgments and jurats. In an acknowledgment, the signer may either present a document he or she has previously signed, or they can sign the document in your presence. Either way the signature is acknowledged through your careful screening for their identity, willingness and awareness.
In a jurat, the signer must always sign the document in your presence. That's because jurats certify that a person has sworn to the truth of a written statement, and the jurat certificate wording stipulates that the statement was "signed and sworn" before a commissioned Notary Public.
Editor's Note:Throughout 2011, the Notary Bulletin will focus on one of the NNA's Recommended Notary Practices each month. The complete list of Recommended Notary Practices is available online.

Houston, TX - Every year, the Houston International Festival seeks to do more than just show event patrons about other cultures; the annual festival immerses guests in cultural exploration and teaches them, too.
With the help of its annual sponsor, Chevron, the Houston Festival Foundation's programs reach more than 900,000 students at nearly 1,500 schools in seven counties statewide. Its goal is to inspire students of today to become global citizens of tomorrow. The foundation hopes to serve more educators and students every year.
"I think it's important that the general public continues to gain a better understanding of the Houston Festival Foundation and its role as it relates to the Houston International Festival," said Kim Stoilis President/CEO of the Houston Festival Foundation, the 501(c) (3) non-profit organization that produces the Houston International Festival. "We're very proud of the number of students we reach each year and we're able to see, first-hand, the impact of the global experiences and educational enrichment that's provided through our annual guide."
Each year, the Houston Festival Foundation puts together a comprehensive set of fun and effective lesson plans that enable instructors to teach their students many of the required Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for the academic year, as outlined by the Texas Education Agency. By using the provided curriculum guide, educators are enabled with TEKS-satisfactory instructional material in mathematics, history, government, art, economics, culture, geography, foreign language, music, politics and more.
This year, in conjunction with the theme of the 2013 festival, the guide focuses on Brazil. Past curriculum guides on Argentina, the Silk Road, the Caribbean, Ireland and Africa remain available for view years later here so that teachers can continue to incorporate the activities into their lesson plans as needed, beyond the festival.
The iFest Curriculum Guide features instructional information including:
- Topographical information, inside guides to Brazil's forests, historical facts, its political structure and more
- Hands-on lesson plans, activities and even quizzes to make teachers' lives a little bit easier.
- Specific TEKS information that is satisfied, required materials list, links to supplementary material online and examples of properly completed activities
- Unique hands-on classroom activities that encourages students to create a friendly rap with lyrics about fair trade practices, a recipe for homemade recycled paper and an eye-opening look at how some people survive on the equivalent of two dollars daily
- Activities which incorporate each subject covered in a student-friendly way
This year, the Houston Festival Foundation has partnered with the World Affairs Council of Houston (WACH) to create the high-quality curriculum guides that are useful within classrooms. Houston International Festival Chairman, Robert Navarro, said, "This year's guide is our best in the Festival's 30-year history." The World Affairs Council of Houston is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that aims to educate local Houstonians, students and teachers with its interactive, relevant programs featuring guest speakers such as political dignitaries from far and wide, and enabling them to become more informed citizens of the world.
On April 26, the World Affairs Council is hosting its World Cultures Summit in partnership with the Houston International Festival. The summit focuses on Latin America and includes a spotlight on Brazil. The Council brings in speakers, music dance artists and an informational scavenger hunt. Students finish the day enjoying hands-on lessons on culture during a visit to the Festival's Chevron Brazil Living Musem. "Our annual summit makes world cultures come alive for 600 sixth-graders from schools across the city " Seymour explained. "Many students we reach come from underserved populations. This event introduces them to a world they never knew existed and sparks their interest in life-long learning."
During the last two weekends in April (April 20–21, and April 27–28), students, parents and educators are encouraged to bring the lessons of the Teacher's Curriculum Guide to life by attending the festival. Upon arrival to the 2013 Chevron Brazil Living museum, attendees will be instantly greeted by the unique scents, sounds, sights and cuisines that they have been reading about. The World Affairs Council of Houston will have an informational booth on-site during the first weekend of the Houston International Festival April 20th and 21st. The Council will offer a limited number of vouchers for complimentary attendance to one program. For more information about the World Affairs Council of Houston and upcoming programs, visit www.wachouston.org.
The Houston Festival Foundation functions as a non-profit organization. With the help of grants by the City of Houston's Houston Arts Alliance, its sponsors and volunteers, the Houston Festival Foundation is able to keep the costs of the Houston International Festival low enough for every family to enjoy.

2013 marks the 43nd year for the Festival, which is produced by a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, the Houston Festival Foundation, Inc. Festival proceeds benefit the education program of the foundation, which produces a teacher's curriculum guide on the spotlighted country's culture. The curriculum guide reaches a potential 900,000 students at 1,471 campuses in seven Texas counties. Foundation funding is provided in part by grants from the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance, corporate sponsorships, private contributions, in-kind support and volunteer assistance.

TULSA, Okla. – The offense came alive on Friday night for the Oral Roberts University men's soccer team as they knocked off visiting Northeastern State 4-1 in the final tune-up match of the 2013. NSU entered the match ranked No. 14 in Division II.
ORU quickly jumped out to a 1-0 lead just three and a half minutes into the contest as Wayne Farmer found Craig Rogers in the middle of the box. Rogers completed the sequence with a header for the goal.
Just seven minutes later, Johnny Chavez added the second goal of the evening for the Golden Eagles. Marco Hernandez sent a cross from just outside the left post to a waiting Chavez who booted it in from six yards out.
The RiverHawks finally got on the board in the 57th minute of play on an unassisted goal off the foot of Jordan Schmoker.
After NSU put in an own goal give the Golden Eagles a 3-1 lead, freshman Matthew Rogers converted an insurance goal after receiving a pass from Chris Kroeze from the right side of the penalty area.
Ben LaCourse recorded six saves for ORU at goal, while Farmer booted a potential NSU goal away as time expired in the first half for a team save.
Matthew Rogers led ORU with three shots total and Chavez added a pair of his own. Tyler Hill recorded a shot on goal during the first half of play.
The Golden Eagles will begin the 2013 regular season on the road as they travel to face Saint Louis. The match is scheduled for 7 p.m.

is the newest Korean drama series dubbed in Tagalog by GMA 7. The story is about a smart and promising medical student Kang Ma Ru (Song Joong Ki) has been in love all his life with his slightly older next-door neighbor Han Jae Hee (Park Si Yeon), a television reporter. He is an adoring boyfriend and she always considered Ma Ru her home. But when her situation takes a turn for the worse and Jae Hee becomes desperate to escape poverty, she meets a man who changes everything—a rich CEO who introduces her to a life of comfort. So she turns her back on Ma Ru, choosing money over love.
The brutal betrayal leaves Ma Ru fractured—not just angry, but a completely changed man. A few years later, Ma Ru is now 30 years old and works as a bartender and gigolo, no longer a "nice guy. He then meets Seo Eun Gi (Moon Chae Won), a young chaebol heiress who's being groomed to take over her father's conglomerate. Eun Gi is a cold and calculating, business-savvy, and raised by her father to never show emotion to anyone. But Ma Ru intrigues her, and she becomes curious until she can't stop thinking about him.
