With a win against the Chargers on Monday Night Football, Denver can tie them atop the division at 3-3 while tilting both the head-to-head and divisional record in their favor.
On the other hand, a San Diego victory extends its first-place cushion to two games as both teams head into their bye week. The Chargers are aware of what's at stake.
"It doesn't get much bigger than this on Monday night," San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers said in a conference call on Thursday. "We've got a chance to play for a two-game lead at the bye, after six games. There's still a lot of ball left after this, but obviously this is a huge game for both teams. From Denver's standpoint, it would get us tied if they won the game. It's obviously a huge game in the division, and I'm looking forward to it."
If recent history is any indication, the Monday night showdown could be a battle to the very end. The teams' last three contests have all been decided by five points or less. Most recently, the Broncos went to Qualcomm Stadium and left with a 16-13 overtime victory.

Director-General/Executive Director
Closing remarks at the UN High-Level Meeting on Countering Nuclear Terrorism with a Focus on Strengthening the Legal Framework
28 September 2012
Your Excellency, Mr. Kim Sung-hwan, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Korea
Ladies and Gentlemen,
On behalf of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, it is my privilege to deliver a short summary of the Chair's Summary of the High-Level Meeting on Nuclear Terrorism. The final version of the Chair's Summary will be circulated to all Member States and participating organizations, including all entities of the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force, by the end of next week.
The High-Level Meeting had two objectives: first, to strengthen the legal framework to prevent nuclear terrorism; and second, to enhance capacity-building efforts to assist States in ensuring the effective implementation of their international obligations as they relate to countering the threat of nuclear terrorism and strengthening nuclear security. These twin objectives of the High-Level Meeting were in accordance with the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and the IAEA Nuclear Security Plan. The High-Level Meeting was also an important step towards promoting international cooperation in combating terrorism, as called for under the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and the relevant resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly.
The Secretary-General acknowledged with appreciation the support expressed by the participants for his initiative of convening the High-Level Meeting and for his leadership in strengthening global efforts to work against the threat of nuclear terrorism, as well as on enhancing nuclear security. In this regard, some participants recognized the contribution of the High-Level Meeting on Nuclear Safety and Security convened by the Secretary-General in September 2011, which served as a bridge to the successful Nuclear Security Summit held in Seoul in March 2012. Participants welcomed the opportunity provided by the High-Level Meeting to discuss national and international efforts, share ideas and consolidate their resolve to counter the threat of nuclear terrorism.
Participants recognized the challenging threat posed by nuclear terrorism and by the dangerous prospect of terrorists or other non-State actors acquiring nuclear materials necessary for the production of nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices or acquiring other radioactive material for use in radioactive dispersal devices. They also underscored their determination to counter this threat through resolute national laws, institutions and practices, effective nuclear security measures, and through enhanced international cooperation. They emphasized that on-going and future work at the international, regional and national levels, and especially greater international cooperation, are essential to address the threat of nuclear terrorism and continuously improve nuclear security.
Participants recognized that each State carries the full responsibility for its nuclear security, and that all States must respond to the threat of nuclear terrorism by establishing a comprehensive and sustainable national security infrastructure to prevent unauthorized access to or use of nuclear and other radioactive material.
Participants recognized the key role played by UNODC and IAEA in promoting the ratification and the full implementation of the international legal instruments dealing with nuclear terrorism and nuclear security. In particular, participants welcomed UNODC's and the IAEA's ongoing efforts to assist requesting Member States in this process. In this respect, participants invited Member States to avail themselves of the UNODC's and the IAEA's successful and long-established technical legal assistance programme and capacity-building activities, and to continue to support them, including financially.
Participants recognized that the IAEA has a central role in strengthening the international nuclear security framework and in supporting States to fulfil their nuclear security responsibilities, including through the provision of practical assistance. In additional the essential role of the IAEA in coordinating international activities in the area of nuclear security was acknowledged.
One area where more action is urgently needed is ratification of the Amendment to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material. Participants were encouraged to implement Integrated Nuclear Security Support Plans and contribute information to the IAEA Illicit Trafficking Database.
On behalf of the Secretary-General, I welcome the IAEA Director General's initiative to convene an international conference on nuclear security in Vienna in July 2013. I see this as an important further step in our collective efforts to counter nuclear terrorism and strengthen nuclear security, and I encourage all States to participate fully in this event.
Participants also reaffirmed the important role of the CTITF and its efforts to promote and coordinate international cooperation and capacity-building more generally in the field of counter-terrorism. Participants welcomed the activities carried out by the CTITF Working Group on Preventing and Responding to WMD attacks, and urged all relevant United Nations system entities and international partners to increase collaboration through the Working Group.
In conclusion, I would like to once again thank all Member States, United Nations bodies and international organizations for their active participation in today's High-Level Meeting. In particular, on behalf of the Secretary-General, I would like to thank the President of the General Assembly for his attendance and for the many Ministers and other high-level officials who took time out of their busy schedules to participate in the Meeting.
Thank you. The meeting is now adjourned.

Hospital observation units could save billions in health costs
U.S.News & World Report, September 28, 2012
Wider use of hospital observation units could save the U.S. healthcare system billions of dollars a year, a new study indicates. Only about one-third of U.S. hospitals have observation units. Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital, in Boston, analyzed national survey data and published research to determine the average cost saving per observation unit and the number of hospitals that would benefit from having such a unit. They concluded that the average amount saved per patient could be $1,572 per visit when using an observation unit instead of inpatient admission. A hospital would save $4.6 million a year by avoiding 3,600 inpatient admissions.

Home > FAQs > Cookbook > Handling File Uploads |
The framework comes with built in file upload support. Uploading a file is simple. When FilterDispatcher receives a request, it checks to see if the request contains multipart content. If it does the dispatcher creates a MultipartWrapperRequest. This wrapper handles receiving the file and saving to disk. It is important for the Action programmer to check to see if any errors occured during processing. Three properties can be set that effect file uploading.
Ensure you have the necessary file upload libraries in your application. If using the default file upload parser, Commons Fileupload and its dependencies should be in your application's classpath. |
Properties can be set by putting a struts.properties file in WEB-INF/classes. Any property found in the properties file will override the default value.
If you're happy with the defaults, there is no need to put any of the properties in struts.properties.
Note, while you can set these properties to new values at runtime the MultiPartRequestWrapper is created and the file handled before your Action code is called. So if you want to change values you must do so before this Action.
That's all you have to do to upload a file. No coding required, the file will be placed in the default directory. However, that leaves us with no error checking among other things. So let's add some code to the Action.
Before the Action method is called the dispatcher will upload the file. Then we can get access to information about the file from MultiPartRequestWrapper.
The first thing you should always do is check for errors. If there were any, there's no point in continuing, most methods will return null. Unfortunately, currently there is no easy way to distinguish what error occured making it more difficult to route to different error pages.
Now get the input tag name for the uploaded file and use that to get information on the transfer. Since you can upload multiple files (just add multiple input tags) at a time getFileNames returns an Enumeration of the names.
Code above may be packed into one nice reusable component (Interceptor) that handles 90% of all typical file upload tasks. And Action does not know anything about web-app and just gets its files. Neat.
For more, see the File Upload Interceptor

By Doug Fabrizio
Salt Lake City, UT – In his book "The Politics of Truth: Inside the Lies That Led To War and Betrayed My Wife's CIA Identity," Ambassador Joseph Wilson candidly discusses the White House's assertions that Saddam Hussein was trying to attain uranium from Africa. After publicly denouncing that statement based on his own CIA sponsored field research in Niger, the administration reportedly leaked the undercover identity of Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame. Wilson joins us in the studio to discuss his experiences, and his concerns about why the US is at war in Iraq.
- Ambassador Joseph Wilson will speak at the Tree Room Author Series at Sundance Resort. His talk begins at noon on Saturday, May 21st. For more information, call Sundance at 801-223-4567 or visit them on-line.

Stretchin' Out the Roast pt. 3
The initial spark for this series of experiments and articles came from discussions regarding a class that I have been teaching for the Roasters Guild. The essence of the class is that it is the job of the coffee roaster to shape roast development to accentuate a coffee's positive attributes.
So, what are you looking for in a particular coffee? Do you want a sweeter coffee? A brighter one? Are you roasting for espresso and would like more body and lower acidity? All of these characteristics can be altered through roast development. In part 1 of this series we looked at stretching out the time after the end of 1st Crack and found that it had a tastable impact on the perceived acidity due to the breakdown of acids and compounds. In part 2 we stretched out the 1st Crack itself and noted how it affected the perception of body and mouthfeel due to the breakdown of particular carbohydrates. In both experiments we saw sweetness greatly affected by the amplification of the interactio of body and acidity, as well as prolonged caramelization.
For part 3 I wanted to stretch out the drying stage of the roast, when the bean is losing moisture in the form of steam but there is not yet any expansion of the cells. There is some yellowing, but there is no Malliard reaction just yet. The Malliard reaction is the chemical reaction between a combination of sugars and amino acids which produce odors when cooking. In coffee, it produces those toasty aromas that you get before entering 1st Crack. Once the Malliard reaction begins, we start to enter the browning stage of the roast.
For this experiment I stretched the initial drying time, before any yellowing had occurred. I chose once again to use a Bourbon coffee from Rwanda, a coffee with delicate floral and citrus features, but also a range of sweetness with a potential for a balanced body and clear acidity. I used the Probat PRE-1Z electric sample roaster again because of the control it gives the user with repeatability of results.
Here are the roasts:
Roast 1
start temp: 300 degrees F
1st C: 7:47
end of 1st C: 9:06
Drop: 9:36
Notes: air out to start, 50/50 at 1:30, all in @ 3:30, air half at 8:14, out at 8:45 secs,
Roast 2
start temp: 300 degrees F
1st C: 8:20
end of 1st: 9:40
drop: 10:10
Notes: air out to start, 50/50 @ 1:30, full in @ 4:30, air at 50-50 at 8:50, air fullis out at 9:20 for 10 seconds,
Roast 3
start temp: 300 degrees F
1st C: 7:05
end of 1st C: 8:30
drop: 8:58
notes: air out to start, air at 50-50 at 1:30, air full in at 2:30, air at 50/50 30 seconds after beginning of first crack, air full out 30 seconds after that for 10 secs
You can see in the logging that the variance between roasts is approximately 30 seconds, with Roast 1 being the control, or middle roast, Roast 2 the long roast, and Roast 3 the short roast. You will also note that the length of the 1st Crack, as well as the drop time (30 secs after the end of 1st Crack) are approximately the same for each roast.
For tasting, I again focused mostly on body, acidity, and sweetness; rather that specific flavor notes. Here are my cupping notes on these roasts:
Roast 1
body: 3D, bigger middle,
acidity: bright middle, and through finish, brightest acidity throughout the whole palate
sweetness: 2nd sweetness
notes: brightest dry fragrance and wet aroma, brightest break
Roast 2
body: longer, not as big in the middle, but present through the palate
acidity: muted, but present and balanced, light syrup
sweetness: more candy sweet, long sweetness through palate and finish, syrupy
notes: fairly muted on dry fragrance and wet aroma, muted break as well
Roast 3
body: slightly more condensed, short finish
acidity: tart, more forward acidity
sweet: sweet in front, but short finish
notes: more nutty on wet aroma, cinammon on the break, shortest finish
When tasting these coffees with the various panels, Roast 1 was the most common favorite, but most everyone did comment on the longer finish and sweetness in Roast 2. One common thread that I've seen in the panels for this whole series is that the people who prefered manual pour-over brewing methods prefered the shorter roasts in each experiment.The front loaded brightness and short dry finish has a certain appeal to them. In my opinion, I think these shorter roast profiles do fare well in pour-over brew methods, with the brightness prominent in the cup. But, in auto-drip machines and press pots, the dryness in the finish as well as aggressive acidity become a little too much.
The other interesting finding is that the results were almost identical to those in part 1 where we stretched out the time after 1st Crack. In both experiments, the longer roasts reduced acid, in a way similar to cocoa roasting. In the shortest roast, the brightness is all in the front of the palate; in the middle roast, the acidity is more centered, a more dynamic cup; and in the long roast brightness is in the finish but quite muted compared to the the other two roasts.
One interesting difference between this trial and the one in part 1 is that the long roast had a long sweet finish. In part 1 the long roast was pretty flat and the sweetness had begun to take on some cocoa bitterness due to prolonged caramelization. But here, in part 3, by stretching out the drying stage, acidity breaks down with no prolonged caramelization, so you are able to accentuate a pleasant sweetness. This is pretty key for roasting for espresso.
The Upshot?
We've learned through this set of experiments that you can alter the perceived acidity by stretching out the time after the end of 1st Crack (Part 1), alter the perceived body and mouthfeel by stretching out the 1st Crack itself (Part 2), and alter the perceived acidity as well as sweetness by stretching out the drying stage of the roast (Part 3). The question that remains for me is whether or not there is a significant difference to be found in the cup between stretching out the initial drying stage and if you were to stretch the roast during the first part of the browning stage, once the Malliard reaction begins. Perhaps a part 4 is in order...

The Board of Trustees approved two-year contracts for football assistant coaches Deke Adams, Kirk Botkin, Grady Brown, Shawn Elliott, G.A. Mangus, Joe Robinson, Everette Sands and Steve Spurrier Jr. All are signed through the 2014 season. Defensive Coordinator Lorenzo Ward was given a three-year contract and is signed through the 2015 season. Head Coach Steve Spurrier was given a two-year contract extension in December 2012 by the Board of Trustees. His current contract runs through December 2017. "Coach Spurrier and his staff have propelled us into a Top Ten program and we appreciate what they have done at Carolina," said USC Director of Athletics Ray Tanner. "Our coaching staff is among the best in the country and their new contracts compensate them accordingly."
"Whenever you have an outstanding season as we have had each of the past two years, it's important to reward the coaches with two-year contracts. Hopefully, we can continue that success in the coming years," said Coach Spurrier. |

VATICAN CITY — Cardinals have set Tuesday as the start date for the conclave to elect the next pope, signaling that they were wrapping up a week of discussions about the problems of the church and who best among them might lead it.
The conclave date was set on Friday afternoon during a vote by the College of Cardinals. Tuesday will begin with a Mass in the morning in St. Peter's Basilica, followed by the first balloting in the afternoon.
In the past 100 years, no conclave has lasted longer than five days.
That said, there doesn't appear to be a front-runner in this election, and the past week of deliberations has exposed sharp divisions among cardinals about some of the pressing problems facing the church, including of governance within the Holy See itself.
U.S. Cardinal Timothy Dolan, considered a papal contender, said in a blog post Friday that most of the discussions in the closed-door meetings covered preaching and teaching the Catholic faith, tending to Catholic schools and hospitals, protecting families and the unborn, and supporting priests "and getting more of them!"
"Those are the 'big issues,'" he wrote. "You may find that hard to believe, since the 'word on the street' is that all we talk about is corruption in the Vatican, sexual abuse, money. Do these topics come up? Yes! Do they dominate? No!"
Early in the week, the Americans had been pressing for more time to get to the bottom of the level of dysfunction and corruption in the Holy See's governance that were exposed by the leaks of papal documents last year. But by Thursday afternoon, Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles tweeted that the discussions were "reaching a conclusion" and that a mood of "excitement" was taking hold.
Vatican-based cardinals had been angling for a speedy end to the discussions, perhaps to limit the amount of dirty laundry being aired.
According to Vatican analysts and even some cardinals themselves, the list of papabili, or those considered to have the stuff to be pope, remains relatively unchanged from when Benedict XVI first announced he would resign Feb. 28. But some Italian media have speculated that with governance such a key issue in this conclave, the cardinals might also be considering an informal pope-secretary of state "ticket."

How to Motivate People: Skip the Bonus and Give Them a Real Project
Social experiments have upended almost everything that modern management takes as a given.
Science has managed to reveal some crazy things that fly in the face of almost every commonly accepted management practice. Here's the latest: Rewards for top performers lead them to worse performance. And if you want to foster innovation, bonuses won't work either. Rather, it's all about letting people slip from under line management and strike out on their own, on projects they care about.
Dan Pink lays all that out in this new video [2], which illustrates a talk he gave at the RSA (a kind of British version of TED):
Wild stuff, and all the more unsettling because of the current mess on Wall Street. It seems like common sense that you should reward the highest bonuses to the top earners. But instead, it seems like the only thing we fostered was a system where money mattered more than results. Which sounds obvious in retrospect, but it's remarkable that science has shown this to be almost universally true.
The fact that science has also created a new vision for workplace performance--fueled less by management and more by individual goals--is shocking.
Pink tackles those themes at length in Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us [3].

Cesme Things to Do

Sheraton's beach for me is the best beach in Ilica. I went there in summer 2004 and 2005. There is a day fee of 20 Turkish lira in 2005 but it is well worth the price to be in the white sandy beach or the jetty which is a large segment of the waterfront and is exclusive to paying guests. Comfortable lounge chairs and parasols are provided along with towels. The service is good when you can find someone to flag down during the busy lunch hour. Drinks run about 12 to 15 YTL. I like their fruit service and there is a cart of boiled corn on the cob that comes through every afternoon. My favorite time is late in the afternoon just before sunset when people leave and it becomes nicer and quieter.

Cesme Nightlife
This was formerly Joy Club and in 2004 became Laila. Laila Cesme was practically empty when I went there to check it out. The place looks better this year than last year and clear plastic were added to shield one from the notoriously windy Alacati beach - after all, it is the windsurfing capital of Turkey.
I believe this summer, 2006 this is now Babylon. I am not sure since I didn't go to Cesme, unfortunately. Next year, I would like to go back, definitely.

It 's on Aya Yorgi bay along with other night spots. Attracts a chic crowd, Istanbulites and hipsters, the yachting set... My friends first took me there in July 2003. It was super crowded then but in late July 2004, it was much more enjoyable. We actually had room to dance! At the entrance, one is greeted by big burly guys checking you out . As in any posh clubs in Turkey, they're the usual front door acessories if you like...Ok for ladies, be careful since your stilettos can get wobbly on the way down so hold on to your gorgeous dates, step down past the oasis like reflecting pool to go toward the main club area then to the jetty/water. I especially like the enclosed pond before arriving in the main bar/club deck. I like the different levels of seating/lounging. The folding deck chairs by the water is irresistible for watching the bay, chilling and for me esp. after my legs were tired from dancing. It's open until 4 a.m. I think.
I went back in July 2005 and it was again wonderful, relaxing during the day and wasn't as packed in the evening. The music was a mix of house, Latin house, Turkish pop and euro house. Crowd dressed more casually in the evening.
Dress Code: jeans are ok as long as they are paired with trendy summer tops. For men, jeans are fine too. Hip and chic is the order of the night..Related to:- Romantic Travel and Honeymoons

I liked the location most of all but since it was in the same beautiful Aya Yorgi bay as Sole Y Mare. It my first time there in July 2004 and for about 2 hours, all the DJ played was rock music. I'm not sure if they play rock music all the time...I hope not. It was definitely a Red Hot Chili Peppers kind of an evening when I was there. The place has many seatings which are comfy with pillows. There is also a restaurant by the sea which was closed by the time we got there. It was a apres party gig for us so it wasn't busy at all. I imagine that it gets crowded.

Politics continue their self destructive course and seem bent on financial suicide over the "cliff."
The only offer at this point is a proposal from the Democrats. Where is the Republican counter offer?
Similar to the plan they had that may have led to their demise in the general election - there is none.
Are you still clinging to the Ryan plan that may be worse than the fiscal cliff, lopsided in cuts for social programs and very little support in Congress?
Come on you old group of Republican boys: Put up or shut up!

Residents living in northwest Cape Coral are fed up with flooded streets caused by storm water run off, but relief may be on the way.
Antonio Ray lives on Jacaranda Parkway. Today the swales in front of his northwest Cape Coral home are empty, but last weekend they were overflowing with storm water runoff.
Heavy rain is flooding parts of the northwest Cape, putting a damper on the quality of life for residents.
On Wednesday, city staff unveiled a storm water master plan aimed at fixing flooded streets.
"Generally we're looking at increasing pipe sizes, adding some additional pipes to drain the water for the flooding issues," said Steve Neff of Public Works.
But those much-needed drainage improvements cost money.
"As always there's limited funding for everything you do in life," said Neff.
So the city has come up with criteria to determine which streets get fixed first.
Problematic areas will be ranked according to the number of developed properties, duration and severity of flooding, size of area impacted and cost.
"This would alleviate those concerns being able to get to their residences, swales not being full with water for 3-4 days," said Bill Edwards of Avalon Engineering.

DeSoto Woman Faces Trial Over False Kidnapping ClaimsJOHNSON COUNTY -- A DeSoto woman charged with two felony counts of disorderly conduct appeared in Johnson County court on Wednesday. Joyce Gibbs is accused of lying to police. She claimed she was kidnapped at gunpoint near Ferne Clyffe State Park, but those claims were brought to question in court.
In October, state police were called to Ferne Clyffe State Park after reports of a woman being abducted at gunpoint and then sexually assaulted.
On Wednesday, an Illinois State Police officer, assigned to the case, testified against those claims.
According to the investigator, in Gibb's initial interview, she claimed to have been kidnapped at the Phillips 66 gas station in Herrin and then taken to Ferne Clyffe.
Video survelliance, obtained by investigators, shows no signs of an abductor.
The state's attorney says if Gibb's knowingly lied to officers about the case she could face serious time.
"She has two counts of felony disorderly conduct for filing a false police report, one to the Johnson County 911 and once to a state trooper," said Johnson County state's attorney Tambra Cain.
When police initially found Gibbs at Ferne Clyffe she was taken to Heartland Regional where she was treated for bruises and a head injury. A rape kit was also taken but the results have not been completed.
A trial by jury will take place on March 17th.

Three decades after the first Chesapeake Bay Agreement was signed, the Chesapeake Bay Program is seeking public input on a new agreement that will guide partners in the restoration of the Chesapeake Bay and recommit stakeholders to conservation success.

The draft Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement establishes a series of goals and outcomes that address water quality, fisheries and habitat, land conservation, public access and environmental literacy. Signatories will include the states of Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia and Delaware; the District of Columbia; the Chesapeake Bay Commission; and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
By signing the agreement, partners will commit to taking the steps needed to attain a healthy watershed: to lower nutrient and sediment pollution; to sustain blue crabs, oysters and forage fish; to restore wetlands and underwater grass beds; to conserve farmland and forests; and to boost public access to and education about the environment.
"Healthy, sustainable fisheries, plentiful habitats for wildlife, conservation efforts and citizen actions that support clean water and clean air—this is how we create a healthy Bay," said Bay Program Principals' Staff Committee Chair and Maryland Department of Natural Resources Secretary Joe Gill in a media release. "Connecting our citizens to these resources through public access and environmental education completes the picture, instilling the personal sense of ownership key to our progress."
"The goals and outcomes that are outlined in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement are interrelated: improvements in water quality can mean healthier fish and shellfish; the conservation of land can mean more habitat for wildlife; and a boost in environmental literacy can mean a rise in stewards of the Bay's resources," said Bay Program Director Nick DiPasquale. "By signing this agreement, Bay Program partners will acknowledge that our environment is a system and that these goals will support public health and the health of the watershed as a whole."
The draft is available here. The Bay Program welcomes comments on this draft between January 29 and March 17, 2014. Interested parties can offer input at the March 13 meeting of the Management Board or by submitting an online comment or an email to the Bay Program. Learn more.
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation has called on Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania to better control stormwater runoff and improve the region's environment, economy and health.

Made worse by urban and suburban development, stormwater runoff is the fastest growing source of pollution in the Chesapeake Bay. Once precipitation falls onto streets, sidewalks and lawns, it can pick up trash, oil and other pollutants before entering storm drains, rivers and streams. Each year, stormwater runoff contributes to fish mortalities and beach closures across the watershed.
In a report released this week, the Bay Foundation pushes watershed states to implement stronger pollution control permits alongside "cost-effective, common-sense projects" that will help cities meet the pollution limits outlined in the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), or pollution diet. Planting trees, building roadside rain gardens and installing green roofs have been proven to reduce stormwater runoff—and can often be done at lower costs than some initially estimate.
The Bay Foundation cites several cases to illustrate this point. Frederick County, Maryland, for instance, used natural vegetation rather than pipes, culverts or other structural solutions to filter polluted runoff, and reduced its projected pollution control costs by 65 percent. A University of Maryland Environmental Finance Center analysis found that Calvert County, Maryland, initially over-estimated its stormwater control costs; by installing more efficient pollution control methods and offering private business owners incentives to reduce runoff on their own properties, the county could meet their cleanup goals at a cost that was 96 percent lower than projected.
"This is a local problem requiring local solutions that will provide significant local benefits," said Bay Foundation President William C. Baker in a media release. "But there are important roles for… governments in tackling the challenges of polluted runoff."
At sunrise, the Roughwater heads out of its Solomons Island harbor and onto the Patuxent River. Driven by a captain who has worked the Chesapeake Bay for two decades, the boat stops over an unseen reef. Simon Dean and his crew—Brian Elder and Jason Williams—are wearing waterproof bibs and white rubber boots, and are ready to bring in oysters.
Known as patent tonging, the work that takes place on the Roughwater moves in one fluid motion: hydraulic tongs enter the water, grab a mess of oysters and dump them with a crash onto a metal culling table. Three-inch grooves built into the table's edge help the crew cull, or sort the oysters by size. Good oysters are tossed into a plastic basket, while too-small bivalves and empty shells go back overboard.
The patent tongs are controlled by foot pedals: one pushes the tongs up and down, while the other swings them open and closed. "At the end of the day, your feet are more tired than your hands," Dean said.
As a waterman, Dean's work is dependent on the seasons. During the winter, he oysters. During the summer, he crabs and takes fishing parties out on the Bay. He bought the Roughwater in 2009, and was "running everybody else's boat before that."
Wooden-handled culling hammers help Dean and his crew knock undersized oysters off of bigger bivalves. Young oysters attach themselves to adults in order to grow, forming dense reefs that offer habitat to fish, crabs and other critters. While concrete is often used to construct artificial reefs, shell makes the best substrate for spat.
Watermen must work to "get as much shell off as you can," Dean said. In part, this is because buyers prefer the look of a clean oyster. And in part, it is because shell must go back into the Bay, where it will provide a new place for young oysters to settle.
In an effort to restore natural oyster populations to the Bay, shell recycling programs have popped up across the region and lawmakers have established oyster sanctuaries and strengthened harvesting restrictions. But this seems to have fueled tension between states and the industry and fed the belief that watermen often work in conflict with the law.
Dean and his wife, Rachel, are working to change this oft-held perception, using heritage tourism to teach both children and adults about estuarine life and the role that watermen play in the region's history and economy. "We're not poachers. We're not outlaws. We're not thieves," Dean said. And he hopes that Solomons Island Heritage Tours will "break down that stigma that watermen have [against them]."
Dean and his crew don't have time for conversation while the tongs are running. Dean thinks about how he will sell his oysters, and how he will compete with other watermen. By the end of the day, they have reached their patent tonging limit: 15 bushels per license, with two licenses per boat. Dean will sell some of these to restaurants and some to individuals. But will he ever keep any for himself? "I like them," Dean said. But when it comes to eating them, "I just don't have time."

The reduction of power plant emissions in the mid-Atlantic has improved water quality in the Chesapeake region, according to new research from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES).
Image courtesy haglundc/Flickr
Researchers at the university's Appalachian Laboratory have traced improvements in the water quality trends of nine forested watersheds located along the spine of the Appalachian Mountains to the Clean Air Act's Acid Rain Program. Passed in 1990, the Acid Rain Program led to a 32 percent drop in human-caused nitrogen-oxide emissions in 20 states. As these emissions have declined, so too has the amount of nitrogen found in some Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia waterways.
In other words, while the Acid Rain Program only intended to reduce the air pollution that causes acid rain, it had the unintended consequence of reducing the amount of nitrogen oxide particles landing on the region's forests, thus improving local water quality.
"Improvements in air quality provided benefits to water quality that we were not counting on," said UMCES President Donald Boesch in a media release.
Once nitrogen oxide particles are emitted into the air, wind and weather can carry them long distances. In time, these particles fall onto the land or into the water. Nitrogen that enters rivers and streams can fuel the growth of algae blooms, which block sunlight from reaching underwater grasses and create low-oxygen "dead zones" that suffocate marine life. Scientists estimate that just over one-third of the nitrogen polluting the Bay comes from the air.

UVa murder trial recessed following attorney illness
The murder trial of a former University of Virginia lacrosse player has recessed on Friday following the illness of one of his attorneys.
Court recessed for the day as George Huguely's attorney, Fran Lawrence says his co-counsel remains ill. She is "seriously projectile vomiting ill, your honor," he said. Judge Edward Hogshire says court will resume again Saturday morning at 9 a.m. Lawrence has promised to wrap up his case Saturday.
The defense co-counsel, Rhonda Quagliana, fell ill Thursday, leading to a postponement in the trial. Defense Attorney Fran Lawrence says Quagliana is the attorney that has "worked for almost two years on the medical testimony."
Lawrence told Judge Edward Hogshire it would be "not be fair" if he attempted to make her presentation.
The judge asked that a doctor's note be produced by court Saturday, a rare weekend session to move this trial along.
FOLLOW ABC7's Gail Pennybacker for live tweets on the trial
Twenty-four-year-old George Huguely, of Chevy Chase, Md., is charged with first-degree murder in the May 2010 killing of his sometimes girlfriend and fellow lacrosse player, 22-year-old Yeardley Love.
Friday marks the eighth day of testimony in the trial. Six of those days were taken up with prosecution witnesses. The defense has only put on two witnesses so far. The trial was estimated by attorneys from both sides to take two weeks
It's already running past the two week period forecast by both defense and prosecutors.
The postponements are not welcomed news to UVA students many of whom fondly remember Yeardley Love and the events of May 2010 that lead to her death.
Defense attorneys were able to produce several witnesses Friday. Two young women who say they saw an angry encounter between Huguely and Love in Huguely's apartment in the days before her death.
Another witness, Huguely's aunt, says she saw the couple holding hands the day before Yeardley Love was found dead.
Surveillance video from this Charlottesville bar shows that the couple was together and holding hands at times.
"This crime would never happen unless he was doing what he was doing," says Fernando Dizon, a Charlottesville resident.

''My atoms were born in the deceptively full hollows of intergalactic emptiness. My anatomy arose from the turbulent patterns of wild fluid fires, in a cosmic cataclysm that fixed life's genesis on the shores of terrestrial fluid waters. All human bodies on Earth arose from these waters that eventually stood up on legs to marvel at the night sky from which they originally came, first as stardust, then as rain, then as liquid bubbles, then as genetic chains, ultimately self-organizing into cellular clusters and complex brains. The whole of human existence is immeasurable, both in time and in space, because each of reality's seemingly separate bodies is perpetually malleable, never absolutely fixed, and continuously connected to every other body. The individual artist, thus, is a momentary manifestation of an infinite, eternal being.'' -- Robert G. Kernodle

I enjoyed watching my birds taking turns in the birdbath today, but the robin was the most fun of all to watch. He really knows how to appreciate a good cool-down! He takes not one, not two, but three separate dips with a LOT of splashing before he flies off. He returns to repeat the pattern several times a day in the heat of the afternoon.

MildMan- You are the one who wants to continue to go over the same ground. As for the USSC decision Texas v. White, I will tell you again and for the last time that the 1869 decision made secession unconstitutional in 1869 and thereafter. In 1861, there was no ruling on the question and therefore it was not a crime to do it in 1861. The Federal Government could not go back and punish anyone for doing it in 1861 based on the 1869 USSC decision. I will tell you again and for the last time that southerners believed (as do I) that secession was their right and that they did not have to appeal to the federal court system for validation. I will tell you again and for the last time that Mr. Lincoln would not have accepted secession no matter what Chief Justice Taney's court (or any other) might have decided. Mr. Lincoln said before he took office that he would not allow secession. As for : "Minor facts" that seem to be of little importance to you- to me if you are continually careless about facts, then it tends to damage the credibility of the totality of what you say. For example, misquoting me by saying that I presented the USSC decision" US v. Texas" as validating secession when it did not and I did not is not a : "Minor" issue to me. Apparently, you either can not or will not address the text of the 10th Amendment. Let me again and for the last time spell it out for you. The Tenth Amendment reads: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." So, lets get to the crux of the matter. I'll issue you a challenge: 1) Show me where in the Constitution that it grants the Federal Government the authority to forbid secession. (You won't be able to- because it doesn't). 2) Show me where in the Constitution it says that the states are prohibited from seceding. (You won't be able to- because it doesn't). I will tell you again, and for the last time, that I find the text of the 10th Amendment more compelling than your: "Logic." You say that you: "Have no idea how the 10th Amendment can be interpreted to allow secession of any state." To me, that: "Defies logic," and makes it clear to me that it is a fruitless exercise to continue to discuss the issue with you. Last edited on Wed Jan 2nd, 2013 01:02 am by Texas Defender |

Look of the Week: First Thursday
Ah First Thursday, the one day of the month where everyone can get dressed up in their 'hippest' attire while taking in culture and booze gratis. A glorious evening where Marina girls and struggling art students alike mingle amongst local artists and benefactors, looking for an intriguing stranger to bump into (which isn't hard in the crowded galleries). Well dear readers, that day is today so we've compiled an artfully sophisticated noir-heavy ensemble that proves black is anything but boring. Perhaps we can discuss the merits of cubism over a glass of two-buck Chuck later...

Based on the writers' lists and the feedback in the comments to the linked post, I have come up with the protection list for the New Jersey Devils and submitted to SBN Hockey for the ensuing draft. Thanks for your feedback. For the sake of simplicity, here's who would be exposed. Needless to say, the mock expansion draft is a good way to clear some salary for some guy the Devils could be signing if the NHL ever allows it. Anyone not listed is protected and/or exempt: Unprotected Goaltender: Johan Hedberg Unprotected Defensemen: Bryce Salvador, Colin White Unprotected Forwards: Brian Rolston, Rod Pelley Full lists across the network will be out on Thursday, so Mock Expansion GMs Gabe Desjardins and James Mirtle can take a look at them all.
The first poll decided the cities for the mock expansion sites. Unfortunately, Winnipeg and Quebec City won. Neverthless, the cities now need names. There are 6 choices for each, go and pick one at the link. My favorites: The Winnipeg Mud and Quebec Citadels. This poll will close on Monday.
We'll email you a reset link.
