Water Quality
Water quality problems are prevalent for several streams within the basin. Agriculture, coal strip mines and municipal sewage discharges are the major sources of water quality problems.
Land use is predominantly agricultural (approximately 78% row crop, pasture and hayfield, 20% forest and 0.7% mined lands). The Natural Resources Conservation Service estimates sheet erosion at 2.5-5 tons/acre/year and gully erosion at 0-0.15 tons/acre/year (MDNR 1992a). Problems associated with agricultural runoff include turbidity, sedimentation, low dissolved oxygen (DO), high nitrogen and phosphorous concentrations, high ammonia and high fecal coliform counts. Livestock grazing in the watershed and discharges from unregulated or faulty animal waste facilities (lagoons or pits serving confined lots) increase nutrification, ammonia, nitrogen, coliform and biological oxygen demand (BOD). Channelization of the Marais des Cygnes River and Miami Creek and headcutting of tributary streams increase erosion and sedimentation to streams.
Many streams are polluted by drainage from coal mines, and mining continues to occur at several locations. Mine drainage increases erosion, sedimentation, conductivity, acidity and sulfate, iron and manganese concentrations; and it decreases pH. Strip mine reclamation by MDNR has improved water quality at several locations in the basin.
Municipal sewage discharges impact several streams. Elevated ammonia, fecal coliform and nutrient levels, excess aquatic plant growth, low DO, high BOD and other problems are associated with these discharges.
Water quality information for some streams within the basin has been reported by Ryck (1974b) for 1967-1971, Kersh (1977) for 1973-1975, Duchrow (1984) for 1975-1976, MDNR (1984, 1986b, 1989b, 1992a, 1993) and USGS (1979-1992). Additional sources include Department Stream Pollution Surveys and Annual Water Pollution Investigations, and other water pollution reports. Department staff in Sedalia recorded water quality information at selected sample sites from 1990-1991. At this writing, preliminary information on fish, water chemistry, invertebrates, and physical characteristics has been collected by United States Geological Survey (USGS) for the National Water Quality Assessment Program (Jim Petersen, USGS Little Rock, AR, personal communication).
Pollution may prevent some streams within the basin from meeting their beneficial use standards. Aquatic life and livestock watering will not be possible for streams affected by acid mine drainage until adequate land reclamation occurs. Point source discharges will reduce aquatic life in some downstream areas (MDNR 1984). Beneficial water uses for several streams within the basin are listed in Table Wq01.
Sixteen documented pollution incidents have resulted in the loss of more than 37,000 fish in 13 streams within the basin. Natural causes, municipal sewage discharges, acid mine drainage, cattle manure and unknown sources are responsible for these fish kills. The largest fish kill on record was in 1984 on a 26 mile section of the Osage Arm of Truman Lake when at least 35,000 fish died from a combination of bacterial and fungal infections. To report incidents of pollution contact the Department of Natural Resources.
In order to assess the degree and nature of contamination of Missouri waters, the Department began a fish tissue contaminant monitoring program in 1984. Between 1987 and 1991, Department personnel collected paddlefish, carp, blue catfish or channel catfish at several locations within the Basin for analysis. Level II health advisories (limited consumption for chlordane) were issued in 1990 and 1991 for channel catfish in the Osage River in Bates County, and in 1990 for carp in the Osage arm of Truman Lake (Missouri Dept. Health news releases 1990, 1991). At this writing, there are no contaminant warnings for fish within the basin and no routine contaminant sampling is being conducted.
The following is a summary of water quality information reported on selected streams within the basin. It is not a complete listing of all areas affected by pollutants, but includes those documented by the previously mentioned sources. Table Wq02 contains additional information on documented point and non-point pollution sources. Where appropriate, water quality data are compared to standards for protection of designated beneficial uses reported in MDNR (1989a) and Van der Leeden (1990).
Based on Department of Natural Resources data, water quality from the Weaubleau subbasin is good (MDNR 1986b, 1989b). Only two documented problems involving excess nutrients and a discharge of cattle manure into tributaries of Weaubleau Creek caused temporary water quality problems (MDNR 1986b, 1989b). Sampling conducted by Department personnel showed all parameters within normal ranges for their designated beneficial uses.
The Monegaw subbasin suffers from water quality problems attributed to contamination from abandoned coal mines, municipal sewage discharges and agriculture.
Monegaw Creek has a history of water quality problems associated with abandoned and poorly reclaimed coal-mined lands which dates back to 1951 (Duchrow 1984). These problems include erosion, acid mine drainage, sedimentation and high sulfate concentrations (Ryck 1974b, Kersch 1977, Duchrow 1984, MDNR 1986b, 1989b, 1992a). Ricky Creek, a tributary to Monegaw Creek, also has been affected by runoff from abandoned coal mines. Some reclamation work has been completed on these streams. As of 1991, Monegaw and Ricky creeks were not acidified, but were mineralized by sulfate leaching from spoils or coal waste areas (MDNR 1989b, 1992a). Monegaw Creek also contains substantial amounts of coal wastes deposited before any reclamation was initiated (MDNR 1992a). The headwaters of Monegaw Creek also receive sewage effluent from the Appleton City sewage treatment plant.
Other streams within the subbasin have been impacted by pollution. Acid mine drainage has affected tributaries to Salt, Turkey and Gallinipper creeks (Table Wq02). Municipal sewage discharges from Osceola and Lowry City have polluted the Osage River and a tributary to Gallinipper Creek, and agricultural sources have impacted a few additional streams. Localized water quality problems (high chemical oxygen demand {COD} and elevated fecal coliform bacteria levels) in the Osage River attributed to discharges of inadequately treated sewage from the Osceola sewage treatment plant have been reported (Kersch 1977).
Routine water quality sampling occurs at the USGS gaging station (No. 06918070) on the Osage River above Schell City (period of record: 1979 - present). Occasional low DO and elevated fecal coliform bacteria levels have been reported (USGS 1979-1992).
Department water quality sampling indicated low DO and elevated ammonia levels in Little Monegaw Creek, elevated ammonia in Panther Branch, and relatively high conductivity at the Ricky Creek and Ladies Branch sampling sites. Other values were within normal ranges for their designated uses.
Clear Creek subbasin suffers from water quality problems associated with agriculture, coal mining and municipal sewage effluent. Walnut Creek has been polluted by sewage discharges from the El Dorado Springs sewage treatment plant (Ryck 1974b, Duchrow 1984, MDNR 1986b). Treated sewage effluent also enters streams from Camp Clark Military Reservation and several smaller facilities (Duchrow 1984). Robinson Branch is most severely affected by contamination from strip-mined lands, but one area reclaimed in 1987 shows improved water quality (Kersh 1977, MDNR 1986b).
The largest hog operation in Missouri is located within this subbasin. Murphy Farms is located along Clear Creek (SE1/4 S33 and S34, T34N, R30W in Vernon County, and NW1/4 S3 and NE1/4 S4, T33N, R30W in Barton County). A discharge of hog lagoon contents into Clear Creek from Murphy Farms was reported in May 1992 (Department Fisheries District files). The lagoon discharged for about 12 hours before a missing cap was placed on a recycling tube, stopping the discharge. No fish kill occurred.
Water quality sampling indicated elevated ammonia levels at the Clear Creek and McCarty Creek sampling sites. Other values fell within normal ranges for their designated uses.
Water quality sampling within the Marais des Cygnes River subbasin has revealed many pollution problems associated with contamination from strip-mined lands, municipal sewage effluent, agriculture, and non-point and point source pollution entering from Kansas and other sources. During low flows, the Marais des Cygnes River has exceeded secondary drinking water supply standards for sulfates (MDNR 1986b).
Contamination from abandoned and reclaimed coal mines is a major problem for several streams in this subbasin (Ryck 1974b, Kersh 1977, Duchrow 1984, MDNR 1986b, 1989b, 1992a). Erosion, sedimentation, acid mine drainage, high sulfate concentrations and iron deposits have seriously degraded some streams. Walnut Creek appears to be the most impacted. Mulberry Creek, Park Branch, New Home Creek, Miami Creek, the Marais des Cygnes River and other tributaries also are affected. A reclaimed area (1986) within the Walnut Creek watershed continued to be a source of acid mine drainage and iron deposits for that stream after reclamation. At present, nine miles of Mulberry Creek and four miles of Walnut Creek are mineralized by coal mine drainage, but no streams are believed to be acidified (MDNR 1992a).
Discharges from municipal sewage treatment plants impact some streams and were responsible for four fish kills within the subbasin from 1977 to 1989 (Kersh 1977, Duchrow 1984). Discharges from the Butler sewage treatment plant flow into Mound Branch, the Rich Hill facility discharges into Park Branch, and the Drexel North and South plants discharge into Sugar Creek.
Documented water quality problems associated with agriculture include elevated nutrient levels, decreased water clarity and manure in streams (Kersh 1977, Duchrow 1984). Department water quality sampling indicated elevated ammonia levels for several streams, and a few low DO measurements during August 1991. Sampling at the Root Branch site (29-Aug-1991) showed high pH, low DO and elevated ammonia levels. Other values fell within normal ranges for their designated uses.
Sources of water quality problems in the Marmaton subbasin include agriculture, contamination from coal mines, municipal sewage discharges, pollution entering from Kansas and other sources. Duchrow (1984) reported that the Marmaton River was highly mineralized, characterized by high specific conductance values and sulfate concentrations. The Marmaton River has exceeded total sulfate concentration standards for public drinking water supplies, irrigation and livestock watering (Kersch 1977). Poor water quality within the Marmaton subbasin contributes to aquatic degradation (Duchrow 1984).
Problems associated with abandoned and reclaimed coal mines have degraded a few streams (Kersh 1977, Duchrow 1984, MDNR 1989b). Erosion, sedimentation and acid mine drainage have most seriously affected Willow Branch. The Willow Branch watershed drains a reclaimed area (1986) that suffered from acid mine drainage but now has only mineralized water (MDNR 1992a). Other affected streams include the Marmaton River, Little Osage River and Grassy Run (Table Wq02).
Municipal pollution sources have impacted three streams (Duchrow 1984). Nevada's sewage treatment plant discharges into White Branch, the Marmaton receives discharges from the Fort Scott, Kansas sewage treatment plant and Douglas Branch has received municipal refuse (Duchrow 1984, 1991, MDNR 1986b).
Erosion and sedimentation from agricultural lands have caused water quality problems in the subbasin (Duchrow 1984). Industrial dumping and discharges, runoff from a landfill and low summer DO levels also have been reported for the Marmaton and Little Osage rivers (Ryck 1974b, Kersh 1977).
Department water quality sampling indicated some elevated ammonia levels and high conductivity values for the Marmaton and Little Osage rivers. Other values fell within normal ranges for their designated uses.
The Dry Wood subbasin suffers from chronic water quality problems. Past, present and reclaimed coal-mined lands, municipal sewage discharges, agriculture and other sources are responsible.
Several streams have had or currently have severe pollution problems associated with coal mines (Kersh 1977, Duchrow 1984, MDNR 1989b, 1992a). These problems include erosion, sedimentation, acid drainage, iron and manganese deposits, and elevated sulfate concentrations. The most severe degradation, occurring since 1949, is within Dry Wood Creek and some of its tributaries (Duchrow 1984). Currently, about 60 miles of Dry Wood Creek, West Fork of Dry Wood Creek, Moore's Branch and other tributaries are mineralized by drainage from these lands (MDNR 1992a). Known acidified streams include four miles of Fleck Creek and tributaries, located within and just south of Prairie State Park (MDNR 1992a). Duchrow (1984) reported that three known fish kills caused by acid water occurred within the Dry wood Creek watershed.
Municipal discharges further degrade streams within the subbasin. The Nevada sewage treatment plant discharges into Little Dry Wood Creek have caused two documented fish kills. Effluent from the city of Liberal enters Bitter Creek.
Additional pollution includes erosion, sedimentation, cattle manure in streams and other problems associated with agriculture ( Duchrow 1984, MDNR 1989b). Occasional oil spills from the oil and gas industry have been reported in Moore's Branch and other small streams (Duchrow 1984, MDNR 1986b).
Department water quality sampling showed high conductivity values for Dry Wood Creek, Second Nicolson Creek, McKill Creek and West Fork of Dry Wood Creek. An elevated ammonia level was also recorded in Dry Wood Creek. Other values fell within normal ranges for their designated uses.
Several major surface withdrawals occur within the basin. A major water user is defined as anyone capable of withdrawing or diverting 100,000 gallons or more per day. Even though registration is required, major water user information is probably incomplete since there are no fines for not reporting water use (Jeanette Barnett, MDNR, Rolla, MO, personal communication).
Six public water supply surface withdrawals currently occur within the basin. The city of Butler is the only major user. Butler withdraws water from Miami Creek, and has two auxiliary supplies on the Marais des Cygnes River and Butler City Lake.
In addition, the COE uses approximately 7,439,330 acre feet of water per year for generating electricity at the Harry S. Truman Dam (MDNR 1992b). Two major water users for fish and wildlife management purposes include the Four Rivers Conservation Area which withdraws 221 acre feet/year from the Marmaton River, and the Schell-Osage Conservation Area which uses 1,228 acre feet/year from Schell and Atkinson lakes (MDNR 1992b). Water withdrawals may increase with future wetland development. No major water withdrawals for industry presently occur within the basin (MDNR 1992b). The COE in Kansas is planning to sell water from Pomona, Melvern, and Hillsdale reservoirs to various municipalities. The extent of these proposed withdrawals is unknown (Jim Triplett, Pittsburg State University, Pittsburg KS, personal communication).
Municipal sewage effluent is the main point pollution source within the basin. Several municipalities discharge wastewater into streams. The three largest include Nevada, El Dorado Springs and Butler. El Dorado Springs affects the lower two miles of Walnut Creek, and Nevada's discharge has some effect on the lower 1.5 miles of Little Dry Wood Creek and the immediate downstream section of the Marmaton River. In both cases, elevated ammonia levels during dry weather is the main concern (MDNR 1992a). Both facilities will probably require advanced waste treatment in order to meet instream standards for ammonia (MDNR 1992a). Butler discharges into Mound Branch and probably experiences the same problems with ammonia levels.
Rich Hill, Osceola and Appleton City are the next largest municipal point discharges. Rich Hill flows into Slaughter Branch and Appleton City into Monegaw Creek. Rich Hill and Osceola have had chronic problems meeting effluent limits at their wastewater treatment plants. Elevated levels of fecal coliform bacteria in Truman Lake near Osceola has been a problem (MDNR 1984, 1992a, 1993).
Smaller wastewater discharges into streams within the basin include Lowry City (Gallinipper Creek), Liberal (Bitter Creek), Drexel (Sugar Creek) and Sheldon (Little Clear Creek). Other domestic wastewater discharges in the basin generally affect less than one half mile of their receiving streams (Duchrow 1984, MDNR 1984, 1992a).
There also are a few small oil and gas recovery facilities in the basin. Oil extraction is often by pressurized injection of salt water, and overflows of petroleum and salt water from pits have occasionally affected Moore's Branch and other small streams (MDNR 1992a).
The main sources of non-point water quality problems within the basin are agricultural lands and coal-mined areas.
Many streams within the basin are impacted by drainage from active, abandoned and reclaimed coal-mined lands. The Dry Wood subbasin is the most impacted (primarily Dry Wood Creek and its tributaries). This includes about four miles of acidified streams, and 60 miles mineralized by the leaching of sulfate and chloride (MDNR 1992a).
As of 1991, Monegaw and Ricky creeks were not acidified, but were mineralized by sulfate leaching from spoils or coal waste areas. Monegaw Creek also contains substantial deposits of coal waste on the stream bottom deposited prior to reclamation (MDNR 1992a). Two other streams mineralized by coal mine drainage are Walnut Creek and tributaries (15 miles), and Mulberry Creek (9 miles). In addition, there are some small mineralized streams draining into a wetland area adjoining the Little Osage River just north of Arthur, Missouri (MDNR 1992a).
Since all recently mined land must be immediately reclaimed by the mining company, water quality within the basin should continue to improve. The Mulberry Creek watershed is a good example. Mulberry Creek flows through a large, recently mined and reclaimed area. The water is now mineralized but not acid. Therefore, present and future coal mining within the basin will continue to cause mineralization of receiving streams, but may not cause acidity problems (MDNR 1992a).
Major sources of non-point pollution to Truman Lake, such as nitrogen, phosphorous, sediment and biological oxygen demand, come mainly via inflows from the Osage and South Grand rivers rather than the smaller tributaries within the basin. Sampling over several years by the COE has shown poorer dissolved oxygen in the Osage and South Grand arms of the reservoir than in the Sac and Pomme de Terre arms, indicating greater amounts of BOD are entering form the former two streams (MDNR 1992a).
Sampling of Truman Lake in several locations in 1988 by the COE detected low levels (0.2-0.7 ppb) of the common agricultural herbicide atrazine at several locations in the lake. These levels are below the drinking water standard for atrazine (3.0 ppb). However, atrazine levels have exceeded water quality standards in some tributary streams during some years. Farm chemicals are a potential problem that should be monitored since Truman Lake is a source of drinking water for a number of communities (MDNR 1992a). The impact of private sewage lagoons and septic systems on ground and surface water are unknown.

Cadet 2nd Class Stephan H. Claxton's court martial for allegedly sexually assaulting a fellow cadet began Tuesday. It is scheduled to last until April 20.
A woman testified at a hearing in January that Claxton, who is in the class of 2012, allegedly crept beside her while she slept in March 2011 and placed her hand on his genitals. Prosecutors allege he also unzipped the pants of a woman who was passed out after a night of drinking in November.
Claxton was among three Air Force Academy cadets charged this year in separate sex assault cases.
All three were alleged to be in violation of Article 120, which as of 2007 constitutes rape, sexual assault, and other sexual misconduct.
According to the Air Force, Maj. Gen. Richard Clark has dismissed all charges against Cadet Kyle A. Cressy, class of 2012. He had been charged with aggravated sexual assault.
Commanders have yet to decide whether to send Robert Evenson to a court martial.
According to an affidavit released by the AFA, Evenson, a 2011 graduate, raped a fellow cadet between March 1 and July 1 of 2010. The rape charges include additional specifications of aggravated conduct and indecent acts, which according to the affidavit include Evenson holding a woman down while masturbating over her, and engaging in inappropriate sexual conduct while forcibly restraining the victim.
Additionally, Evenson faces charges of engaging in an unprofessional relationship, and conduct unbecoming of an officer. The charge papers indicate he is suspected of abusing his position as the Cadet Non-Commissioned Officer for Honor by helping a cadet in exchange for a dating relationship and sexual favors.
Evenson is currently working at the Academy.

Every woman wants a man who is able to fight for her, so prove that you can come out a winner when you wear the Spartan General Men's Gladiator Costume. This costume comes with a silver vest that looks just like a chest plate that a roman warrior would wear. It has gold accents on the front as well as minor detailing. Compliment that with the included red cape that is adjustable in length. The final thing included in this costume is the black warrior skirt with a pointed hem, which gives you the ability to have mobility in a fight. You can prove that you're ready to head into battle by purchasing some of the weapons and shields from our store to enhance your costume. When you wear this costume you can take any other costume in the arena down easily.
THIS IS SPARTA! Wear our Men's Spartan Armor Costume and you'll be kicking people down wells all day. This set includes a latex armor chest plate, cape, and skirt. The silver armor covers your entire torso and is molded to look like it has two shoulder straps, a gold swirl-decorated chest strap, and ab plates. A silver skull backed by a gold-handled sword and silver bone sits inside a gold-rimmed plaque on the chest. You can adjust the armor at the back to best fit you. Hide all those straps with the included red satin cape, which slips over your head and stays secure by an attached red collar. Pull on the black warrior's skirt underneath the armor and you'll be ready to take down the Persians. You don't need the Oracle to tell you this is a great costume—pop it on and head over to the Halloween party for a smashing good time. Add a Sword and Shield, Roman Sandals, and Roman Helmet (sold here) to finish the look.

With the tragedies in Boston and Texas this week, we've seen a lot of law enforcement response including K-9 officers. Thursday through Sunday more than 20 K-9 teams from all over the east coast are training in Beaufort County for just those kind of situations.
The North Carolina Canine Emergency Response Team hosted a training and evaluation exercise that goes through Sunday. It's for cadaver dogs and is taking place at locations throughout the county.
Instructors say different scenarios are staged such as accident in a factory, railroad collisions or derailments, or a mock plane crash. The teams also participate in a wilderness and water search. The dogs are trained to search for missing people.
"The main reason why we do it and I do the work I do is closure for the families. A lot of cases I work on and older homicide cases or missing person cases. My main function or the main goal I look at is to get closure to the families. That way they can bring their loved ones home and give them the proper respects they need," said
Cpl. Chris Wood with the Brevard County, Florida Sheriff's Department.

President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle are coming clean about their marriage.
In the latest issue of Good Housekeeping magazine, First Lady Michelle Obama shared some of the secrets behind their successful marriage despite their hectic schedules.
"There's nothing that prepares you for this life," Mrs. Obama said. "And we're the only two people who really understand it."
Mrs. O also explained how she and the Commander-in-Chief maintain a strong connection on a daily basis.
"We work out together every day," she revealed. "I usually get up to the gym a little before he does, because I start my day a bit earlier–I [have] hair, makeup, things that he doesn't have to do. I continue to remind him of that. He usually gets up there when I'm halfway through, so we spend the morning checking in, watching Sports Center."

Mississippi State's schedule has been anything but routine this season so this week's Thursday and Saturday matchups against two of the best teams from the SEC East should come by no surprise.At least the Bulldogs can say they have home court advantage in both as they tangle with No. 19 Vanderbilt on Thursday night and a noon matchup with No. 24 Florida on Saturday."We've got a very challenging week ahead of us starting with Vanderbilt," said MSU head coach Rick Stansbury. "I think it's very obvious at this point they are one of the better teams in this league. I think they have one of the better and most improved players in this league in (Festus) Ezeli. They are very efficient at both ends and have a great shooter in (John) Jenkins and a great player in (Jeffery) Taylor. As always Coach (Kevin) Stallings does a great job with them and are playing as well as anybody in this league right now coming off a great win against a really, really good St. Mary's team. We'll have our work cut out for us."Mississippi State has faced similar scheduling dilemmas during the month of December when they played five games in five nights heading into a 14-game road trip that spanned though the Bahamas, Hawaii and Las Vegas.But all of those contests were of the non-conference variety. Stansbury and his squad will now have to prepare for two of the best team in the entire Southeastern Conference."The competition level that we're playing is going to be a lot different," Stansbury said. "You've got one of the better teams in the league, if not the best, in Vandy and you've got a quick turnaround Saturday afternoon against a very, very good Florida team that when they are playing is as good as anybody in the East. They've seemed to have their moments when they've played that way and some moments when they haven't. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

When working with entrepreneurs from all over the world, you tend to see some rather outlandish ideas; everything from sex apps (Singapore Grad, Vibease) to applications that have you running from demons and ghoulish monsters (San Diego Grad, Explorence). This Croatian founder, however, is taking us to an entirely new level. Literally.
Marin Bek, a graduate of the University of Zagreb, is the founder of Marine Tech Factory, a submarine startup that is in the process of patenting a few very innovative approaches to deep ocean exploration. So far he has built an ROV or AUV, for remotely operated vehicle or autonomous underwater vehicle. Marin's goal is to develop technology that will allow deep sea exploration devices to go deeper and farther than ever before. A concept that will undoubtedly revolutionize the way we explore and study the ocean, Marin says, "We can go to Mars, but the deep ocean really is our final frontier".
His prototype, which he affectionately named "DuckyAUV", differs from competitors by utilizing a propulsion system without a pressured hull. As the pressure of the depths becomes too intense for most submarine devices to withstand, Ducky operates with an underwater propulsion system that doesn't require a sealed hull, ultimately allowing it to travel deeper.
While Marin's prototype continues to be perfected, he is looking into potential markets beyond deep sea exploration, such as utilizing Ducky as a tool for oil rig inspection, private boat inspection, and even recreational use. To learn more about Ducky and even see her in action, check out the full article here by Raf Weverbergh of WhiteBoard Mag.

The Supreme Court is reaffirming that police must tell indicted people of their rights before interrogating them.
Justices have unanimously sided with a Nebraska man who says he was tricked into talking to officers who came to his house to arrest him on drug charges.
Civil liberties groups are relieved. They were worried the high court could roll back some of the protections in its landmark 1966 Miranda ruling that led to the familiar advisory, "You have the right to remain silent."
This is the first of four Miranda rulings expected from the Supreme Court this year.

The city of Denver and the Denver Broncos are tossing their football in the stadium for the possibility of hosting a future Super Bowl at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
According to Patrick Smyth, Executive Director of Media Relations for Denver Broncos Football Club, "We submitted an application with the NFL's Super Bowl Advisory Committee to bid on the 2018, '19 and '20 Super Bowls."
Club President Joe Ellis officially submitted the application to bid on behalf of the team in late August.
"Pat Bowlen has always maintained an interest in bringing the Super Bowl to this community and the great football fans of the Rocky Mountain region. He believes the city of Denver along with the Broncos would be excellent hosts," said Smyth.
"With the 2014 Super Bowl in New York/New Jersey, we are looking forward to observing how a cold-weather city with an outdoor stadium accommodates this extraordinary event."
Traditionally, Super Bowl host cities are chosen based on the stadiums that are equipped with covered or convertible covered domes.

Special Seats member of Parliament Josephine Chagula (CCM) has advised the government to use the National Housing (NHC) to construct hostels in secondary schools.
She told the House that one of the Millennium Development goals is to ensure that girl children access education.
"But current reports indicate that many of the children fail to finish their secondary education due to various reasons, including pregnancy," she said, calling on the government to explain when will it will allocate funds for the construction of dormitories for girl students.
Chagula said currently the situation where girl students had to rent houses in some villages and towns was posing a danger to their lives and continued schooling.
She said the trend of pregnancies in schools was making girl students risk getting various diseases, including HIV/Aids, because of living far from school.
Chafula told the House that it was the right time for the ministry of education to collaborate with otherstakeholders, including NHC, to rescue the children by building hostels.
Reacting to the question, the deputy minister for education and vocational training PhilipMulugo said it was the aim of the government to construct 20 hostels in the country every year.
"The government is willing to construct hostels countrywide but we are tied by the small budget that we have. That is why we have decided to build at least 20 hostels every year," said Mulugo.
Earlier, when reacting to the basic question, Mulugo said apart form the 20 hostels, the ministry was providing various life skills and counselling in schools in order to face the many challenges that students and their teachers face.
He advised communities, parents and relatives to take care of their students to enable them realize their dreams.

Nominate a Distinguished Full Professor!
Distinguished Full Professors
The Distinguished Full Professor Award recognizes faculty members who have achieved the rank of Professor and who continue to perform in an exemplary manner through service, scholarship, innovation, leadership, and other professorial achievements. It is intended both to recognize those professors whom faculty should emulate and to reward professors who show outstanding leadership at the college. The award was first given in 2011.
2012 Distinguished Full Professors
2012 winners are Robert Fitrakis, Ph.D., J.D., Professor of Social Sciences; posing with Dr. Harrison are Thomas Habegger, Ph.D., Professor of Sport and Exercise Studies; and James Taylor, CEC,Professor of Hospitality Management. Not pictured is Gerald Mueller, Professor of Mathematics.
The Selection Committee felt that Robert Fritakis' dedication to teaching, his scholarly work, community service, public speaking, activism, love of politics, and boundless energy all combined to merit the Distinguished Full Professor Award. As a senior faculty member in the Social Sciences Department, Dr. Fitrakis maintains a strong academic and intellectually oriented community, and he serves on many college committees and councils. In 2004, he earned a J.D. from the Ohio State University College of Law, and while a professor, he has written 11 books, presented 26 conference papers, and won 11 awards for reporting as an investigative journalist, among hundreds of other scholarly activities. As one supporter wrote: "If you Google Bob Fitrakis, you will find that his work is cited by hundreds of scholars and journalists worldwide!" Dr. Fitrakis' extraordinary range of accomplishments and his dedication to the advancement of his students and the well-being of the community make him worthy of this award.
The Distinguished Full Professor Award Committee felt that Dr. Habegger's attitude and commitment to inclusion in the Sport & Exercise Studies program supported the development, confidence and determination of a multitude of students across age, gender, ethnic background and socio-economic barriers. He prides himself in being able to support and advocate for his students from their initial enrollment, through the celebration of their induction into the Sport and Exercise Studies Hall of Fame after years of career and personal success. Dr. Habegger's commitment to the community is evidenced by his 20-year participation with the Spina Bifida Summer Sports Camp for children. Many of those children have gone on to attend and graduate from Columbus State's degree program, earn advanced degrees, and even return to the camp as counselors. Tom Habegger's unique mentoring style earns the utmost respect from his colleagues, his students, and the host of successful alumni and community members he has helped along the way.
The Distinguished Full Professor Award Committee felt that James Taylor, Certified Executive Chef, impressed upon us his deep commitment and devotion to his culinary students. He works tirelessly advising new students and working on his students' chef apprenticeships. He is very proud of their achievements long after their graduation. Jim's commitment to preparing students for culinary team competitions,and college activities such as Taste the Future, In-Service Day, Foundation events and much more—is quite commendable. He is also extremely active in the American Culinary Federation, the ACF Columbus Chapter, in which he has been both President and Chairman of the Board, and the American Academy of Chefs.
Since becoming a full professor in 1998, Gerald Mueller has devoted himself to curriculum development and governance, at the program level, the college level, and the state level. To ensure student success and attainment, he developed a University Parallel Committee that helped to identify requirements for pre-majors in the Arts and Sciences. With this work, begun in 1996, through his work with Board of Regents Transfer Assurance Guide panels, the Ohio State Preferred Pathway Program, and the statewide semester conversion effort, Jerry Mueller's expertise and willingness to serve in the articulation, transfer, and college readiness areas has had an enormous impact on the students of Ohio.
2011 Distinguished Full Professors
Posing with Dr. Harrison are Steve Abbott, Emeritus Professor of English; Jackie Miller, Professor of Nursing; and Greg Goodhart, Ph.D., Professor of Mathematics.

About that Tyler Colvin for Ian Stewart Trade…
Tyler Colvin is starting the season in Colorado, but not with big league team.
In an unexpected move, the Rockies optioned the 27-year-old to their Triple-A affiliate in Colorado Springs. However, it's not suspected Colvin will stay in the minors for long.
Although he's blocked from a starting job by outfields Carlos Gonzalez, Dexter Fowler and Michael Cuddyer, Colvin's versatility to play all three outfield position, and first base, should be enough to bring him back to the bigs on a bad team.
In the meantime, the Rockies think regular at-bats will help Colvin improve on the rough numbers he posted in the Cactus League this spring:
.167 (8-for-48), 14 K, 18 games.
Cubs fans seem to have difficulty letting go of the Colvin trade (Dec. 2011) because neither RHP Casey Weathers (Colorado's 1st Rd pick in 2007) or Ian Stewart have panned out with Chicago.
But Colvin hasn't reached the potential many saw with him in 2010: 20 HRs, 56 RBI in 135 games. His biggest obstacle, in Chicago and Denver, in establishing himself as a starter has been a continuous struggle with hitting for contact.
2010: 100 K, 25-perent of plate appearances.
2011: 58 K, 26-percent of plate appearances.
2012: 117 K, 26-percent of plate appearances.
Granted Colvin has shown plenty of pop at the plate (.858 OPS in 2012), he strikes out far too often, whiffing at a clip of once every 3.6 at-bats in his career.
That certainly had to be one reason why Jed Hoyer traded Colvin in the first place; he's not a player who fits the organization's grind-it-out plate mentality. But the other reason Hoyer made the move was to replace Aramis Ramirez at third base, and Stewart was expected to be the everyday starter, which obviously takes precedent over a swing-happy fourth outfielder.
If we have to choose a winner in the trade it's Colorado because of the inclusion of DJ LeMahieu, who was packaged with Colvin, and served a bench role as a backup infielder with the Rockies last season. Weathers, on the other hand, went (4-2, 6.62) in 31 games with the Cubs Double-A affiliate in 2012.
Realistically, however, neither side benefited greatly from the trade, and the evaluation could change entirely if Stewart finally has the breakout season the Rockies always expected, and the Cubs have been waiting for.
Besides, the Cubs already have their own left-handed batting outfielder with good pop and a knack for striking out. And Brett Jackson may have a greater upside than Colvin does anyway.

Taken by Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield from the International Space Station, this photo shows the path of the inaugural parade on Jan. 21. (Credit: Chris Hadfield @Cmdr_Hadfield)
Even astronauts in space are turning their attention to President Barack Obama's inauguration today (Jan. 21), snapping photos of the U.S. capital from high above Earth.
New photos snapped by astronauts on the International Space Station over the weekend show key areas of Washington, D.C., as it appears from 240 miles (386 kilometers) up. Two Americans, Kevin Ford and Tom Marshburn, are living on the station, which Ford is commanding.
"This detailed view shows the Potomac River and its bridges at left, with National Mall at the center, stretching eastward from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument toward the Capitol building, where the inaugural ceremony will be held," NASA officials said in a statement.
NASA had a few different events planned for inaugural weekend. A group of the agency's astronauts and scientists -- including "Mohawk Guy" Bobak Ferdowsi -- will march in the inaugural parade today alongside full-sized models of the Mars Curiosity Rover and the Orion Space Capsule.
The space station is currently home to six astronauts representing the United States, Russia and Canada. In addition to Marshburn and Ford, the crew includes three Russian cosmonauts and Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield.
Hadfield even got in on the inaugural celebrations with a photo of Washington D.C. on Saturday (Jan. 19).
"You can even follow the parade route," Hadfield wrote in a post on Twitter, where he chronicles his flight as @Cmdr_Hadfield.

22 U.S. Code § 2762 - Procurement for cash sales
prev | next
(a) Authority of President; dependable undertaking by foreign country or international organization; interest rates
Except as otherwise provided in this section, the President may, without requirement for charge to any appropriation or contract authorization otherwise provided, enter into contracts for the procurement of defense articles or defense services for sale for United States dollars to any foreign country or international organization if such country or international organization provides the United States Government with a dependable undertaking
(1) to pay the full amount of such contract which will assure the United States Government against any loss on the contract, and
(2) to make funds available in such amounts and at such times as may be required to meet the payments required by the contract, and any damages and costs that may accrue from the cancellation of such contract, in advance of the time such payments, damages, or costs are due. Interest shall be charged on any net amount by which any such country or international organization is in arrears under all of its outstanding unliquidated dependable undertakings, considered collectively. The rate of interest charged shall be a rate not less than a rate determined by the Secretary of the Treasury taking into consideration the current average market yield on outstanding short-term obligations of the United States as of the last day of the month preceding the net arrearage and shall be computed from the date of net arrearage.
(b) Issuance of letters of offer under emergency determination; availability of appropriations for payment
The President may, if he determines it to be in the national interest, issue letters of offer under this section which provide for billing upon delivery of the defense article or rendering of the defense service and for payment within one hundred and twenty days after the date of billing. This authority may be exercised, however, only if the President also determines that the emergency requirements of the purchaser for acquisition of such defense articles and services exceed the ready availability to the purchaser of funds sufficient to make payments on a dependable undertaking basis and submits both determinations to the Congress together with a special emergency request for authorization and appropriation of additional funds to finance such purchases under this chapter. Appropriations available to the Department of Defense may be used to meet the payments required by the contracts for the procurement of defense articles and defense services and shall be reimbursed by the amounts subsequently received from the country or international organization to whom articles or services are sold.
(c) Applicability of Renegotiation Act of 1951
(d) Competitive pricing
(1) Procurement contracts made in implementation of sales under this section for defense articles and defense services wholly paid for from funds made available on a nonrepayable basis shall be priced on the same costing basis with regard to profit, overhead, independent research and development, bid and proposal, and other costing elements, as is applicable to procurements of like items purchased by the Department of Defense for its own use.
(2) Direct costs associated with meeting additional or unique requirements of the purchaser shall be allowable under contracts described in paragraph (1). Loadings applicable to such direct costs shall be permitted at the same rates applicable to procurement of like items purchased by the Department of Defense for its own use.

Happy natal day Susan...Time for another trip around the sun!ReplyDelete
Happy birthday! Rule here is the birthday person doesn't have to bake their own cake. Started when my oldest was only 4 (I had to put it in the oven and take it out, but he did everything else!)ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Sue,Delete
That sounds like a great rule. Next year I need to borrow a four-year-old. ;)
Lemon Curd Cake sounds dee-lish. Have you posted a recipe for it?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi FJ,Delete
I was hoping to have posted this lemon curd cake recipe ages ago. I thought I finally had it perfected (the lemon curd part is definitely perfect!), but this time it came out really wonky, and I have no idea why. Nothing to do but bake another one and see what happens (recipe testing is tough work). Fortunately Joe thinks all the versions (and there have been several) were delish. ;)
I can't imagine a happier life for a dog than to be well loved, at liberty all day long, with an important job to do, places to go, and a buddy to trot alongside.ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday!! Your cake sounds delicious. Have a piece for me, as my b-day was June 27th & just started Medicare. A Big Whoop for that.ReplyDelete
Enjoy your day and may you get lots of doggy kisses. :))

Happy Birthday! I love your blog! And you are the very person who starting my love of Swiss Chard! P.S. The "weed" I've been battling in my garden is Purslane, I can't believe how nutritious it is, and I've been throwing it out by the bushel. And if you let your chickens graze on it, it lowers the cholesterol of the egg yolk. The WI Master Gardener website has a great overview about it. It's amazing! I wonder if you knew this? Anyways, I hope you have a great birthday!!! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi DIYmom,Delete
It's always fun to hear from another Swiss chard convert. You know I love that stuff! (And in case anybody is reading this who hasn't seen my umpteen previous Swiss chard shout outs, it's heat tolerant, cold tolerant, ignored by cabbage worms, and so easy to grow!)
As for purslane, I kept hearing about it growing like crazy as a weed in gardens (including our Amish neighbors about 10 miles away), but I'd never seen any in mine. So this year I broke down and ordered some purslane seeds (which are still in the freezer), and what do you know? A purslane plant popped up in my onion bed. I can't wait to grow more of it. I'll have to look up that overview you mentioned. And I'd never heard that about the chickens and eggs. Very interesting. Our chickens are probably getting a little tired of chard. ;) Thanks!
Hoping your young birthday was packed with blessings, Susan. I so enjoy getting to visit your blog...it feeds my rural dreams. :)ReplyDelete
Happy, indeed. Have a great one, Susan.ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday Susan and many happy returns in your lovely farm with your hunky man and your critters.ReplyDelete
Happy birthday Susan! Cake or no, enjoy your very own day!ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday Farmgirl Susan! Relax and enjoy!ReplyDelete

Happy Belated birthday, sweet friend! I always imagine your birthdays to be full of champagne, chips and dips and dips in the donkey troughs (didn't you say you guys used to do that?) - so I hope you got all of that and more. Though I don't need to know how much more ;)Delete
I also have some pretty badass blackberry jam that I'd like to send your way...

You share a birthdate with my father, who turned 85 this year. He was a gentleman farmer in his heyday, and still has plenty of energy to tend his blackberry/raspberry bushes and his beloved black walnut trees. Must be that good ol' farm living, eh? :^)

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.
Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!
Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.
I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.
I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!
