Here are some tips for appearing at school board meetings.
Although most of the battle against creationism has focused on the political and legal battles over textbooks and curriculum development, it is important to remember that public opinion plays a major role in determining the material actually taught in biology classrooms. One inexpensive and effective way to educate the public on the nature of science in general, and evolution in particular, is through the editorial pages. Letters to the editor are widely read, and fundamentalists have long used letter campaigns to push their agenda.
1. In 1968, in Epperson v. Arkansas, the United States Supreme Court invalidated an Arkansas statute that prohibited the teaching of evolution. The Court held the statute unconstitutional on the grounds that the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution does not permit a state to require that teaching and learning must be tailored to the principles or prohibitions of any particular religious sect or doctrine.
After the Portland, Oregon, board of education adopted a resolution on climate change education that called (PDF) for the elimination of instructional material "that is found to express doubt about the severity of the climate crisis or its root in human activities," NCSE's Josh Rosenau wrote a column for the Portland Tribune (June 2, 2016) to put the resolution in context.

Charlestonians eagerly await the end of summer's sweltering temperatures and the return of the Southern garden fete, and crisp, clear weather and ethereal gardens welcomed everyone to the Charleston Concert Association's Botanical Bash on Friday, October 21.
Those who attended snagged a signature cocktail before taking a romantic evening stroll through Mr. & Mrs. Randolph Friedman's gorgeous gardens, pausing to savor the twinkling lights of the Ravenel Bridge before stepping into the spacious garden tent. Plush lounges decorated with delicate floral displays invited guests to relax and catch up while the sounds of Joe Clark's Big Band floated through the autumn air.
An absolutely amazing spread from Caviar and Bananas constantly attracted guests, and the fall breeze wafted mouth-watering scents down from the porch food stations. Though nearly everyone made several forays to the porch for small plates or sweet bites, the majority of the partygoers mingled under the tent alongside MOMIX dancers, Charleston Concert Association board members, and Mayor Joseph Riley.
The intimate evening slowly drew to a close, and partygoers savored one last look at the beautiful grounds before heading out into the autumn night.
The Botanical Bash benefited the Charleston Concert Association, whose mission is to bring the joy of world-class music and dance to our community and instill an appreciation of the performing arts in future generations through education.

Nantucket Wind Farm
FOr those of you not privvy to the Boston GLobe this AM check out the follow up article regarding the proposed wind farm off Nantucket.
http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/218/business/Newer_technology_renews_interest_in_wind_power+.sh tml
I have mixed thoughts: structure attracts bait although it may restrict access to the area, good chum grinders I'm sure.
What do others think?
I wonder how it will affect the migration and behavior of the area's fish and coastal bird population? Will the vibration affect the small organisms that hold the ecosystem together out there? If they are prone to falling into pieces, they must generate a distinct vibration into the ground and we know that ground vibration does to earth dwellers because it's a way to rid rodents and collect earthworms. Vibration is significantly stronger in water.
I would bet that any school of migrating fish would swim clear of the noise and visual effect of such a 'farm'. Birds would avoid it, and sand eels and other forage would be repelled by the vibration. Unless the ambient 'noise' was eliminated I would be against.
I would ask why they don't put them on dry land?

Sure, we've hashed this one out before, but I don't think we ever polled everybody on it.
Here's what we "know."
The Orginal Trilogy (OT) as first released, can be transfered onto DVD's and put out immediately if George wanted to.
The Special Editions as released in 1997 could be transfered onto DVD's and put out immediately if George wanted to.
There is a ton of expanded footage from the Insider's Guide and Behind the Magic CD-Roms, and more that's already prepped to be put on DVD's as bonus material, and it would take less time to re-use that, to add some selling value to 'the first version' of the OT on DVD.
George wants to go back to the OT in 2006 and do some more work on it.
Things like the 'bad Jabba CGI-work' are rumored to be fixed, so Jabba will look right, and the scene stays in.
Things like adding a scene with Jimmy Smits as Bail Organa on Alderaan right before the Death Star shoots, are less credible rumors.
Things like more exterior shots of the Falcon battling TIE Fighters in the Death Star Escape could be representative of cool added footage that doesn't really change the original film, but improves it.
Everyone in the whole world except George likes Han shooting Greedo in cold blood. He was threatening Solo's life, or at the very least mugging him, so Greedo got what he deserved, and Han kept the edge on himself a little while longer.
There are a lot of possibilities here, but let's keep the poll simple.
What version of the Classic Trilogy would you buy on DVD?

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 7:26 PM GMT on July 02, 2009
Atlantic tropical cyclone activity typically picks up a bit during the first half of July. Since the current active hurricane period began in 1995, seven of 14 years (50%) have had a named storm form during the first half of July. The busiest first half of July occurred in 2005, when three hurricanes formed. These included Hurricane Dennis and Hurricane Emily--the strongest hurricanes ever observed so early in the season. As seen in Figure 1, most of the early July activity occurs in the Gulf of Mexico, Western Caribbean, and Carolina waters. However, a few long-track "Cape Verdes" hurricanes begin to occur. These are spawned by tropical waves that come off the coast of Africa. Tropical waves serve as the instigators of about 85% of all major hurricanes. Last year's Hurricane Bertha was one such rare early July Cape Verdes hurricane. Bertha's 120 mph winds made it the sixth strongest early-season Atlantic hurricane on record. Bertha also set the record for farthest east formation as a tropical storm, hurricane, and major hurricane, so early in the season.
Figure 1. Tracks of all tropical storms and hurricanes 1851 - 2006 that formed July 1-15. North Carolina and the Gulf of Mexico coast from the Florida Panhandle to Texas are the preferred strike locations. Oddly, the Florida Peninsula has been struck by only two storms that formed in the first half of July.
Sea Surface Temperatures
Sea Surface Temperatures (SST) anomalies have warmed slightly over the past two weeks, but are close to average over the tropical Atlantic between Africa and Central America (Figure 2). These are the are the coolest SST anomalies we've seen since 1994. The strength of the Azores-Bermuda high has been near average over the past two weeks, driving near-average trade winds. Stronger-than-average trade winds were observed through most of the period November 2008 - May 2009, which helped cool the tropical Atlantic substantially. Strong winds mix up colder water from the depths and cause greater evaporative cooling. The latest 2-week run of the GFS model predicts continued average-strength trade winds through mid-July, so SSTs should remain near average during this period.
Typically, July tropical storms form over the Gulf of Mexico, Western Caribbean, and Gulf Stream waters just offshore Florida. SSTs are about 1.0°C above average for this time of year in the Gulf of Mexico, but near average elsewhere. July storms typically form when a cold front moves off the U.S. coast and stalls out, with the old frontal boundary serving as a focal point for development of a tropical disturbance. There will be one or two fronts moving off the U.S. coast over the next two weeks, and we will need to watch these for development. Wind shear is too high and SSTs are usually too cold in July to allow African tropical waves to develop into tropical storms. African tropical waves serve as the instigators of about 85% of all major hurricanes,
Figure 2. Sea Surface Temperature (SST) departure from average for July 2, 2009. SSTs were near average over the tropical Atlantic's Main Development region for hurricanes, from Africa to Central America between 10° and 20° North Latitude. Note the large region of above average SSTs along the Equatorial Pacific off the coast of South America, the hallmark of a developing El Niño episode. Image credit: NOAA/NESDIS
El Niño
El Niño conditions continue to amplify over the tropical Eastern Pacific. Ocean temperatures there rose 0.5°C over the past two weeks, and are now 0.45°C above the threshold for El Niño, according to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (Figure 3). NOAA's Climate Prediction Center issued an El Niño Watch in early June, saying "that conditions are favorable for a transition from neutral to El Niño conditions during June - August 2009". The pattern of changes in surface winds, upper-level winds, sea surface temperatures, and deeper water heat content are all consistent with what has been observed during previous developing El Niños, and latest set of mid-June runs of the El Niño computer models are almost universally calling for El Niño conditions to become well-established for the peak months of hurricane season, August - October. It is likely that Atlantic hurricane activity will be suppressed in 2009 due to the strong upper-level winds and resulting wind shear an El Niño event usually brings to the tropical Atlantic.
Figure 3. Sea Surface Temperature (SST) departure from average for the the equatorial Eastern Pacific (the area 5°N - 5°S, 120°W - 170°W, also called the "Niña 3.4 region"). El Niño conditions exist when the SST in this region rises 0.5°C above average. As of June 28, 2009, SSTs in the Niño 3.4 region had risen to 0.95°C above average. To be considered an "El Niño episode", El Niño conditions must occur for five consecutive months, using 3-month averages. Image credit: Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
Wind shear
Wind shear is usually defined as the difference in wind between 200 mb (roughly 40,000 foot altitude) and 850 mb (roughly 5,000 foot altitude). In most circumstances, wind shear above 20 knots will act to inhibit tropical storm formation. Wind shear below 12 knots is very conducive for tropical storm formation. High wind shear acts to tear a storm apart. The jet stream's band of strong high-altitude winds is the main source of wind shear in July over the Atlantic hurricane breeding grounds, since the jet is very active and located quite far south this time of year.
The jet stream over the past two months has been locked into a pattern where a southern branch (the subtropical jet stream) brings high wind shear over the Caribbean, and a northern branch (the polar jet stream) brings high wind shear offshore of New England. This often leaves a "hole" of low shear between the two branches off the coast of North Carolina, which is where Tropical Depression One formed at the end of May.
The jet stream is forecast (Figure 4) to maintain this two-branch pattern over the coming two weeks. This means that the waters offshore of the Carolinas are the most likely place for a tropical storm to form during this period.
Figure 4. Wind shear in m/s between 200 mb and 850 mb, as forecast by the 06Z July 02, 2009 run of the GFS model. The position and strength of the subtropical jet stream is forecast to change little over the next two weeks, and this jet will bring high wind shear to the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico into mid-July. There will at times be a region of low shear between the polar jet (northern set of arrows on the plots) and the subtropical jet, allowing for possible tropical development off the coast of North Carolina. Wind speeds are given in m/s; multiply by two to get a rough conversion to knots. Thus, the red regions of low shear range from 0 - 16 knots.
Dry air and African dust
June and July are the peak months for dust coming off the coast of Africa, and the Saharan dust storms have been quite active over the past month. Expect dust from Africa to be a major deterrent to any storms that try to form between Africa and the Lesser Antilles Islands in July.
Steering currents
The steering current pattern over the past few weeks has not changed much, and is typical for June and July. We have an active jet stream bringing many troughs of low pressure off the East Coast of the U.S. These troughs are frequent enough and strong enough to recurve any tropical storms or hurricanes that might penetrate north of the Caribbean Sea. Steering current patterns are predictable only about 3 - 5 days in the future, although we can make very general forecasts about the pattern as much as two weeks in advance. At present, it appears that the coming two weeks will maintain the typical July pattern, bringing many troughs of low pressure off the East Coast capable of recurving any July storms that might form. There is no telling what might happen during the peak months of August, September, and October--we might be in for a repeat of the favorable 2006 steering current pattern that recurved every storm out to sea--or the unfavorable 2008 pattern, that steered Ike and Gustav into the Gulf of Mexico.
Recent history suggests a 50% chance of a named storm occurring in the first half of July. Given that none of the computer models are forecasting tropical storm formation in the coming seven days, and SST and wind shear patterns look pretty average, I'll go with a 20% chance of a named storm forming during the first half of July.

A couple of other breeders who might have nice litters--Angie Becker who lives near Dallas in winter and trains in WI in summers. Angie is on here, so you can PM and ask what she might have coming up.
John Ketzner--Windwalkergundogs on here. John lives in WI and summers about 1 hour from the Twin Cities, and winters in TX. John is planning a breeding of a littermate to a male we own. Our dog is HiRollers Aces Full of Drakehaven, call name Ray--you can look Ray up on offa.org. His sister's call name is Jelly--her pedigree name will be something with Drakehaven in it I believe and you will find her as a sibling under Ray's OFA listing. This is a nice pedigree and John will be selective about the stud dog.

This time around however the set is labeled Ultimate Collector Series unlike the Darth Maul Bust and the Rebel Blockade Runner (I know guys, the latter was released with a full color outer box when on retail) and it seems like the set could go retail with this fact in mind.
And I know it will next year.
I made that statement in this post:

|Yak Attack Kayaks and flyfishing = ultimate stealth
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I've taken two swims in waders over the years, one out west in a fast river gorge, another on a bayside tidal flat that flooded suddenly. Two things I can say are (1) you can't be too cautious and (2) it'll never happen again.
Horror stories I've heard and witnessed:
A guy popping up from a 50 yard underwater drift with only his underwear on after he dumped his driftboat - stating that if his suspenders didn't snap he'd be dead when his waders filled.
Bayside flats wader hanging on to a bouy until the tide changed.
Dead fisherman found with his waders pulled down to his ankles unable to get his waders off and hampered by the waders.
*probably not a good idea to try to take them off in the water!*
Pete's heroic rescue at Chatham Inlet.
etc, etc.
In my humble opinion (in no sense do I claim to be nor want to be an expert in this!) the problem is not necessarily having waders on in the water, it's having waders that are full of water and having shoes that you can't swim in. If the waders remained watertight and the boots didn't keep you from making progress then it would probably help. Unfortunately the norm is that they fill up and big boots keep you from getting anywhere.
From a yak, I would think the #1 safety move would be stay with the yak. It probably wouldn't hurt to put a couple flares in the dry hold either if you are on the coast, cell phone is a real plus. GPS would make the event even less threatening, etc.
On shore, a few things I do for safety:
(a) CO2 pfd vest
(b) small roll of duct tape in my chestpack, enough to wrap tops of waders for three people thoroughly to slow or perhaps stop filling up. This only works on shore because you know the tide is coming and you have a moment to prepare.
(c) scuba style boots for flats - you can swim reasonably well in them
(d) compass, constantly take a bearing in fog or occluded vision - knowing where to go is half the battle
(e) whistle - approved designs that resist failure in water
(f) anal retentive on tidal flats on the incoming when on foot - know when to leave
(g) cell phone - watertight container needed
(h) will add a portable GPS this year
(i) use a proper branch or wading staff to wade in current, better yet don't wade where there is risk
(j) carbide studded felt soled boots in fast rivers, very rigid soles and support to prevent compression of the foot between stones
(k) most importantly avoid trouble situations and take safety very seriously
Most of those things are preventative, don't need to quote Ben Franklin there. Of the reactive measures, the pfd is without a doubt the best.
Like Adrian says, I've read the same about facing the feet downstream and trying to float to safety. That's exactly what they say to do when you are whitewater rafting and go overboard.
We've been lucky so far, knock on wood. Let's hope we never have to learn any such lessons the hard way!
I recall many years ago watching an Atlantic salmon fishing program hosted by the venerable Hugh Falkus. He demonstrated the effect of waders in cold water by jumping into a deep pool on a highland river in early spring. By the way, he wasn't wearing a wading belt.
The lessons learned were:
1) If you get dunked DON'T PANIC!! Easier said than done but critical to getting out alive. The additional weight of the waders when full of water is actually slightly less in water than on dry land.
2) Normal swimming techniques when wearing bulky fishing gear may simply not work. If you go over in a river, try to float downstream on you back - feet first - to avoid getting a crack on the head by rocks.
3) When you reach shallow water, don't try to stand up - crawl out on your hand and knees. Full waders weigh a ton ON DRY LAND.
4) Hypothermia is a killer.
I'm fortunate in never having had to take an unexpected swim but practicing these types of survival techniques sound like a very good idea. Smart kayakers practice rescue and survival techniques. Roop mentioned trying to swim in waders a pool. Practicing getting back into a kayak whilst wearing all your gear also seems like a good idea.
Maybe a survival techniques thread would get some interest - anyone know of any good links?
If I could afford the expense I would definitely go for one of the Dry Suits which serious yakkers seem to go for.
I tend to view the "don't wear waders in a yak" thing as the fishing derivative of an urban legend. Waders (neoprene, anyway) are *definitely* the way to go in cold weather and/or water. First of all, closed cell foam (neoprene) floats, so you'll actually get a little extra flotation out of them. Make you clumsy? Sure, but whatever water goes in will NOT weigh you down while you're in the water. What they will do is to provide some insulation, which buys you time to get back into the yak. Wading belt? Yes, but primarily to minimize the intake of cold water.
This time of year, I wear my neoprene waders, a fleece, and a wind shell over the top. (PFD too, of course). Works like a charm.
Look guys while I can appreciate your opinion, I strongly disagree with the assessment of the dangers of wearing waders in a kayak. Having first-hand knowledge, Ive swam in both neoprene and breathables, I know for a fact its not an issue. In fact, its easier than swimming without them.
Flyfish America (the free magazine at fly shops) had an article where they tested nylon, breathable and neoprene waders and found that the ability to swim was in fact improved. Looked for it on their website but its not there so you have to take my word for it.
Granted, there are exceptions to every rule but, if you are wearing a PFD and a wading belt, youre going to have to work pretty hard to drown.
Slugs & hisses,
I figure in the unlucky event that I go over in the Yak with the waders on, I'll be inclined to at least grab the boat. Once I have that, I undo the quick release on the wader straps, wiggle out. Maybe I'm naive and maybe I get knocked out by the paddle some how, but I figure I can lose my $50 cabela's waders in exchange for my life.
Good advise Mark that's why I don't want to ware waders in a yak. Will probably get the Choata Mucklucks and zip off flats supplex pants.
Roop, you're too nice a guy to have to drag a pond for. What ever you do, don't kayak with your waders on!!!
I've never tried it, but, I'd have to imagine you could take on enough water to counteract the bouyancy of a pfd. In a deep water situation you are guaranteed that the top of your waders will be below the surface of the water even with a pfd on.
Also, wading belt or not, water will get into your waders gradually. I've seen someone in real danger after falling out of a kayak, and he had shorts on. He spent a solid half hour trying to get back into his yak. They sent the Fire/Rescue squad out after him becuase of hypothermia. You won't be getting back into your yak in deep water unless you have deck rigging, your paddle, and a paddle float(all of which should always be in your yak anyway). Also, the extra weight of the water in your waders would most assuredly make hauling your butt into the kayak impossible.
Next summer, when it's 90 out and you are with friends, put your waders on in someone's pool and try to get back in your kayak. It's an awful big gamble to take, especially if you are going to be alone on the water. We just had a perfectly healthy 22 year old guy drown in Weymouth, and he was with two other guys in a canoe, and none had waders on.
Get some waterproof pants to wear in the yak over fleece.
|Fish Hawk... shorts... naturally.
|I assume you would be wearing a PFD, if so the waders should not be an issue. I normally wear nylon pant in fair weather, more to keep the bugs off than anything else. If I am going to be getting out and wading I'll go with breathable waders. If there's a chop or rain, I'll throw on a wading jacket too.
I don't think waders are an issue, may even be a benefit if you flip in this weather by protecting you from hypothermia. Wading belt REQUIRED!!
Before a fever and the high winds convinced me not to head out, I was going to do some trout fishing on my favorite pond this weekend.
I was planning on either waders or fleece pants with some foul weather pants on top.
what do you ware?
Trying to figure out what to ware in the yak. Do not want to ware waders in case the yak flipps over. I was thinking of a tall boating boat with zip off supplex pants and putting on the waders once on shore.

Gluten Sensitivity and Genes
HLA stands for human leukocyte antigen and these specific genes tells our immune system what is considered normal and what is considered a foreign invader, worthy of attacking.
Antibodies are what our immune system makes to attack foreign invaders, be it a bacterium, virus or parasite. And of course one thing we take for granted is that our immune system CAN tell friend (or self) from foe.
For those with HLA DQ2 or DQ8 genes, a confusion occurs where the antibodies produced are unable to discern normal parts of the body from invaders and an attack on self ensues.
In celiac disease the small intestine is attacked and in diabetes the cells of the pancreas that produce insulin are the site of attack.
HLA DQ2 and DQ8 genes not only involved in celiac disease and type 1 diabetes, but also other autoimmune diseases.
While this may sound very fatalistic – meaning that if you have these genes you're "doomed to suffer", that is not the case. Many people who have these genes never go on to develop these diseases.
And that opens the door to an area that I am currently fascinated by: gene expression and epigenetics (epi- means above and this field delves into how and why genes get turned on and off). Simply because you have a gene is no guarantee that gene will "turn on" and express its negative tendencies.
While it's a work in progress, many researchers believe that the integrity or health of the small intestine and a healthy population of probiotics therein could very well be at the root of genetic expression, especially as it relates to celiac and gluten sensitivity.
Stay tuned on that point. I am busily researching and doing some testing of my own, but I can tell you that the research that has been done is quite exciting.
Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.
To your good health,
Dr Vikki Petersen
Founder of HealthNOW Medical Center

Vicki Thank you for your wonderful blog and book. My younger sister is a celiac. We both have the HLA DQ-2 genetic type. I was nursed for almost a year, she was nursed for 4 months. I have eliminated gluten for the past 3 years and feel well. I attended my high-school reunion last year and had pizza and beer with my friends. I had bloody stools for a week! Keep up the good work.

The Croak of a Different Frog
Southern Leopard Frog (Rana sphenocephala)
That One Sounds Different
If you ever listen to the croaking of frogs, you know they can be symphonic and beautiful. If you have the chance listen carefully, and see if you can hear differences in the croaks. Some subtle differences will be between individuals, but if you hear big differences, then you are probably listening to more than one species. Kind of cool, huh? Just as different birds have different calls, different frogs have different croaks, and it was this knowledge and a keen ear which led to the discovery of a new species in what people thought was a well-studied area.
- New Frog On The Block at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hij3AZ-qrus
In case you are not in an area where you can hear frogs, here's a clip. Listen carefully and you'll hear the Northern Leopard Frog (Rana pipiens), the Grey Tree Frog (Hyla versicolor) and the American Toad (Bufo americanus).
- Northern Leopard Frog Calls at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luXzpmcq3QM
No Duh's and Head Scratchers
If you need help scratching a mental itch, use the resources below:
- Were you aware that different species of frogs could be identified by their croaks? If not, does this surprise you? What kinds of purposes do you think these croaks serve? What kinds of information would you need to gather to test your hypothesis?
- How were researchers able to confirm their suspicion that there was an undescribed species of frog? What problems could they have run into if they didn't have this sort of information? Why is this sort of information hard to argue with?
- Notice the patterns researchers used when collecting specimens to test. Why do you think they chose this pattern? Can you think of any other information they could gain by using this pattern beyond species differences?
- What roll do you think knowledge of different species should play in urban development plans? Do you think it is important to have different species of frogs or is one species enough for ecosystem stability? What kinds of information would you consider in making your decision? Do you think you would reach the same decision in all areas?

I begin my tenure as President of Medgar Evers College with a profound feeling of excitement and anticipation. I am gratified by the opportunity that lies before me as I return home to a place that holds not only my heart, but also my soul.
Fifty years ago this year, Medgar Evers died at the hands of an assassin as he fought for many of our basic rights, including the right to a fair and equal opportunity at a decent education. Without the selfless determination of Medgar Evers and many like him who paved the way for me and many others, I would not be here.
I am energized by this vibrant and diverse community that embraces our school and its mission of providing significant higher education opportunities to a population faced with many challenges – the challenges of poverty, unemployment, struggling single parent families, underemployment and limited access to jobs.
Unquestionably, our students are competitive, resourceful, and worthy of an investment that steers them on an early path to achievement and success. Today's challenging economy and ever-changing global landscape points to the expansion of the College and its capacity to prepare our students for jobs locally and around the world.
Medgar Evers College is a college of the community. Our stakeholders are heavily invested in its success and they deserve to see the possibilities of higher education in our community. By working closely and very early on with our elementary and high schools, we can build a pipeline of students from underserved communities, create programs to develop their strengths as part of an overall strategy to build the pipeline, and motivate them to compete in higher education.
We provide access and opportunities for personal and professional growth, empowerment, employment, and success – all attainable with an education here at Medgar Evers College.
Beyond providing a degree, we must create a framework for networking students into jobs while building their confidence about their rightful entry into the workforce.
The Medgar Evers College experience is special. Our students deserve our whole-hearted commitment and nothing less. Faculty continue to contribute to the enormous core of substantive work through a wide variety of scholarship and research projects that bring success and accolades to the school, and staff remain steadfast and focused in their work and dedication to the students. We are committed to creating and fostering a caring learning environment that involves human caring, high expectations and a connection to the community – ultimately strengthening our College family.
Our size and locale make us exceptionally diverse and vibrant, and we are small enough to provide each student with the personal attention and support they need. It is important for students to see themselves as successful and productive individuals, and our jobs as educators is to help them connect the dots of building a family, career and community.
Looking ahead, we anticipate moving Medgar Evers College along a continuum of growth that includes the reaccreditation of the School of Business, the successful completion of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education report, identification of new and increased opportunities as we work to address the needs of a younger student population, and increased emphasis on the scholarly accomplishments of our faculty.
This is a community deeply committed to the success of the College. We look forward to the future. Along with our faculty, staff and alumni, I am ready and willing to work with our students as full partners in their education, and every step along the way on their journey toward earning their college degrees.
As President of Medgar Evers College, I am excited and invigorated by the possibilities that lie ahead for our students and our school. I look forward to seeing you here.
Yours in service,
Rudolph F. Crew

Do you believe the federal government has struck the proper balance between protecting civil liberties and providing physical security?
For a better guarantee of public safety, the post 9-11 world is one of constrained personal liberties. To determine whether a proper balance has been struck we would need to believe that the system is static. It is not. It is ever changing and requires constant vigilance and attention. There is an inherent tension between individual liberty and keeping our citizens safe. Further, in an increasingly electronic and cyber-connected world, civil liberties are also increasingly threatened. Cybersecurity will likely be the next area where civil liberties are threatened and where balance will need to be achieved.
Do you support a cap-and-trade system of greenhouse-gas limitation?
Yes. The private sector can be an engine of innovation and find efficient solutions to pressing problems. The cap and trade program for SO2 is an example of industry providing critically needed solutions.
Do you believe the federal government should do more to help students afford college?
Yes. Education, whether at a college or trade school, is one of the keys to prosperity and a higher quality of life. Federal government support for education access is an investment in the future of the country. A trained, employed work force supports economic growth. Further, support for students who want to start a business should be a priority area for a variety of entrepreneurship programs. For the first time in history, college graduates, a segment of our population that should be driving our economic recovery, is so burdened with student debt that they may not be able to start innovative businesses, or buy their first homes. This will present a very serious challenge to our economic future.
Do you believe health-insurance plans should cover contraception without co-pays?
Health insurance plans should cover contraception the same way that they cover other medications, procedures, or devices.
Will you vote to end the Bush-era tax cuts on the wealthiest Americans?
The tax structure must be reformed to close loopholes and ensure that everyone is paying their fair share – this includes the wealthiest Americans. However, the economic recovery is so fragile that it would be dangerous to end these tax cuts at the current time.
In 10 words or fewer, please express your view on Congressional compromise.
Compromise is democracy's foundation – it's a solution, not a problem.

Easily give guacamole a taste twist with colorful additions like vacuum-packed whole kernel corn and sliced jalapenos.
To easily dice avocados, cut lengthwise around the avocado and twist to separate halves. Hold the half with the pit in one hand. Tap pit firmly with edge of sharp knife and twist to remove pit. Score avocado flesh lengthwise and crosswise with tip of knife, making little cubes. Scoop out with a spoon.
The acidic nature of lime juice prevents the avocado from darkening.

Well, for what it's worth, here's the line-up for shows that I know of in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area:
Sci-Fi Expo and Toy Show, Plano, TX
This one is being touted as the "Retro TV and Movie" show and will feature guests from TV and movies of the distant and recent past. Guests include:
Ken Osmond, Leave it to Beaver's Eddie Haskel
Angela Cartwright and Mark Goddard of Lost in Space
Kathy Garver, Cissy of Family Affiar
Jon Provost of Lassie fame
Gerard Chrisopher, Superboy from the 80's TV series
Richard Herd and Paul Boehmer - both Star Trek guest stars
Veronica Cartwright, Lambert in the movie Alien
And of course, the STAR WARS guests:
Rena Owen, the voice of Taun We
Amy Allen, last minute casting addition Aayla Secura
Then two weeks later!
There is a small toy and comic show, probably consisting of little more than a dealer room, but it is FREE ADMISSION being held in Cleburne, TX (South of Fort Worth) at the Civic Center. I spoke with the promoter who said they were hosting a "battle of the bands" that night at the center. Since they had to rent it for the whole day regardless, they figured, "why not have a toy and comic show too!" Check it out if you can, it's free!
And now, the big one!
October 11-13, 2002 in Plano
Dallas Comicon!
This is the one to save up for kids! Carrie Fisher will be there as a long-awaited special guest! Other guests include TV's Shazam and Isis (All Mighty Isis!) Jackson Bostwick and Joanna Cameron, Traci Lords, and a slew of comic book related guests.
And JediCole will be celebrating his birthday on Saturday, October 12th with free cookies for all who attend (while supplies last), prize give-aways, and other surprises. You will be able to spot our tables (those of A Piece of the Action Collectibles) as I am finally going to invest in one of those party canisters of helium and blow up a couple of dozen of the bright red Star Wars balloons I have a couple of hundred of laying around here. Come meet JediCole, Mrs. JediCole, DingoDad, and (hopefully) even Sith Worm as we (hopefully) roll out our new comic book and definitely roll out our official A Piece of the Action Collectibles t-shirt!

I was wondering if you folks could keep an eye out for a few things for me when you are shopping? I need the BEspin Luke and some non Star wars items. I alos collect Johnny Lightning VWs and they recently released 6 new VW cars. I have 4 of the 6 but still need the 21 window sunroof bus and the pick-up truck. If anyone finds them (I need two of each, one to open and one to keep) I would be very thankful if you could pick them up for me. Of course, I will search Star Wars for anyone here.
Thanks. My e-mail address is:

I think he is a UFA....would be a great addition, young, big target and possible #1 .
If I have to Google him, he isn't the solution to the number 1 receiver.
He shouldn't be the teams first choice but could potentially help. I don't personally see him as a #1, I prefer Bowe and Wallace, Bowe because of size and Wallace because of his abililty to seperate from coverage. Both would be great, but I think only one would potentially get here
If you have to google him?... Lol.
Remember when everybody on this board wanted us to draft this guy so badly? He didn't do anything at all in NY. No thanks!
hell no!! I wanted ireland to pick kris durham up from detroit lions, he didn't so he fails. google him he is the white "megatron", dude is 6'6 with a 4.4 speed. think of a bigger and faster brian hartline. I watched this guy in georgia and saw him during the pre-season and i said "jeff, sign this guy" and he said we have enough wrs." I said "yeah right'
GMs should listen to fans.....lol
Yeah, let's get more #3-4 receivers.
Do you have reasons to believe that he'll make a number 1? Or are you throwing names against the wall?

Metadata creation and enhancement is a partnership between Bibliographic Services and McCain Library. Special Collections librarians and Digital Collections staff select and digitize materials from the special collections. Basic metadata creation (administrative, descriptive, and technical) occurs during the digitization process, and most records are made available for public view and use without delay. Bibliographic Services is responsible for enhancement of selected metadata fields, including title, description, creator names, dates, subjects, and geographic locations.
A workflow process document for Bibliographic Services personnel is stored on the BibServices shared drive.
University Libraries uses CONTENTdm to organize, manage, and display its Digital Collections. Multiple collections with more than 15,000 items are available for the use of researchers. A wiki is used to keep a master log of materials ready for metadata enhancement. Digital Collections staff members add information in the wiki when new materials are added to CONTENTdm. When Bibliographic Services completes the enhancement of metadata for collection materials, that information is also added to the wiki.
The chart below is updated monthly to show the status of metadata enhancement of digitized materials.
A locally developed best practices document guides the entry of metadata into more than 40 fields based on an extended Dublin Core set of elements. Metadata Best Practices for Southern Miss Digital Collections in its current form was developed and expanded from an earlier document. It is kept current to reflect our practices and national standards of metadata entry. Periodic meetings of Bibliographic Services and Digital Collections personnel for discussion of changes to the metadata fields are carried out. Changes to the document and our entry standards are made in the interest of providing the best possible searching results to users of the digital files.

If you are going to actually use the originals, take Post # 6's advice. The residual acid in most paper products remaining from the manufacturing process will eventually damage the originals so acid free matting is important, and UV light is a terrible enemy of just about everything, especially printed matter, so either UV or even better "museum" glass is really a must for anything that is going to be displayed. I think that you could get very good results by using a high quality flat bed scanner and printing on high quality paper, then putting the originals in acid free archival boxes (available from Light Impressions, inc) and storing them in a safe place. I really wouldn't tear the pages out and have them laminated. Lamination is pretty much an irreversible process and you might come to rue that decision.
Any doctrine that weakens personal responsibility for judgment and for action helps create the attitudes that welcome and support the totalitarian state.
(John Dewey)
Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company.

"Wilderness is a necessity…a fountain of life… thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people who are beginning to find out that going to the mountain is going home; that wilderness is a necessity; that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life."
—John Muir
Plan Ahead and Prepare is the first principle of Leave no Trace.
Planning sets your trip up for success. A failure to plan well will lead to a trip that does not.
What I mean by that is simply that we need to plan for Leave no trace.
That is not to say that we can't have fun. Rather it is to say that we need to consider the wilderness areas when we enter them.
We need to ask our selves how much trash do I need to produce?
How much impact on the ground are we going to leave?
Where is my waste going? How do I get it all in and out?
What are the goals of the trip?
When we ask ourselves these questions, we start to better understand leave no trace. Some people will have you believe that Leave no trace is a philosophy to to keep you out of the wilderness. That is the farthest from the Truth. Leave no trace is designed around impact and leaving wilderness areas so that we all can enjoy them for years and years to come.
So we start by planning for less impact.
We start by looking at the goals of the trip. When we enter wilderness area we need to be aware of the rules. Travel in smaller groups, spread out camp areas. For Scout units that can be challenging, but really cool too. You won't be able to camp as a big troop in the wilderness, but what a fantastic opportunity for Patrols to camp together.
Which brings up meals. Planning our meals is perhaps that single biggest issue of impact. And that is all about trash. We generate trash with cooking. SO preparation is the name of that game.
Reduce trash by repackaging. Do not take wrappers, boxes and cans with you. Reduce the trash at home. Repackage your meals in ziplock bags or other resealable containers that can easily be carried out, used as litter bags, and take up less space.
Think about the meals you are cooking and what you need to do that. Canister stoves are efficient and allow for quick boil times for water. They are pretty light and take up less space. But you need to plan for the amount of fuel you will consume. This reduces impact and trash. And lightens the load in your pack. But you have to plan. Waste fuel and you will end up short.
Look at your tents, tarps, or what ever shelter you are planning on using. Free standing tents leave less impact. What color tent do you have. Hot pink in the wilderness takes away from other peoples enjoyment. Do you need to stake it down? If not..then don't.
Where are you getting water? How much can you carry? Purifying or packing? These are planning questions that need to be considered.
So the bottom line is that Planning Ahead and Preparing for your next adventure is the first and most important part of a trip that leaves no trace. No matter where you go, or what your goals are, you should always keep in mind that there will be people coming to the wilderness after you and you want to give them the same opportunity to experience it's pristine beauty as you are.
Plan and prepare.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
