Photo #: S-584-163
"Cruiser Submarine Type # 1--Unprotected" ... October 20, 1920
Preliminary design plan for a "Cruiser Submarine" (Type # 1 -- Unprotected). The Chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repair requested in early October 1920 that his staff develop a set of comparative studies for ships of this type, apparently reflecting his desire to anticipate a possible need for large submarine scouts. The vessel was intended to carry heavy guns and scout aircraft, and be able to submerge "to great depths". Type # 1 emphasized gun armament and speed and had no protection and large aircraft storage tubes topside that the Bureau considered a risk to survival if flooded. The concept was not pursued.
This plan provided eight 8-inch guns, diesel machinery, and a surface speed of 14 knots in a ship 400 feet long on the waterline, 46 feet in beam, and with a normal surface displacement of 10,000 tons.
Note: The original document was ink on linen (black on white).
The original plan is in the 1911-1925 "Spring Styles Book".

Onkel-m gave me this doubles roll when I was in Vienna and said he shot urban art. I forgot that it was a sprocket rocket doubles so I started shooting kids in ballet school for the first frames using the Canon. Then when I remembered that it was a rocket roll, I took the film out of the camera and reloaded it to my rocket and shot the hood. the results came out interesting especially the part with the ballet I think. I really am delighted. I met onkel-m on my first day in Vienna. He is a delight to be with and just a dear friend to me now. Next time I would love to meet his dog Tara too. If you haven't been to his lomo home, I hope you pay it a visit soon because you will have a wonderful time there.

WASHINGTON - Two fishing cat kittens passed their veterinary checkup with flying colors.
The Smithsonian National Zoo's twin kittens, a male and a female, were examined by the zoo's veterinarians Friday. Zoo officials say both kittens received a clean bill of health.
Their complete physical exam included listening to their hearts and lungs. Their mouth, eyes, legs, feet and genital areas were checked. The veterinarians also felt the kittens' bellies.
The kittens received the beginning of a series of vaccines that will protect them against feline distemper and some upper respiratory viruses.
The kittens' birth was an important milestone, according to zoo officials. This is the first time fishing cats have successfully had kittens at the National Zoo.

Hi, I am so glad I found this message board. I am going to spend some time reading through old posts but for right now need to know if I am in the right place. My son was premature. He has been through speech, occupational and physical therapy. He just turned four. He was discharged from all except occupational which honestly I sort of stopped because I didn't click with the therapist. I was told he had sensory issues and that is very apparent. I have also been told he could be on the spectrum of autism (those drs who have said this say it would be a mild case). He hates bright lights. He doesn't like his hair brushed or teeth brushed. He hates loud noises or noisy places. Everything is a struggle. I just recently got divorced and I am just so overwhelmed. He hates anyone he doesn't know to say hi or talk to him. If he knows you he completely connects with you, eye contact and sweet and loving (which makes me think he is not autistic). He is very bright, his speech therapist said he scored cognitively the second highest she had ever seen in her career when he wasn't talking. He gets upset sooooooooooo frequently. I am at my wits end. I am 37 and feel like every day years are being taken off my life. I am exhausted. Everything is a struggle. Is this normal with sensory issues? Thanks in advance
|Tue, 02-21-2012 - 5:19pm
I look forward to getting to know you better, keep us posted on his progress.
|Wed, 02-29-2012 - 9:40pm
Thank you both for your reply. I actually found a place about an hour away that specializes in Sensory Issues. I took him for an evaluation and according to them he definitely has sensory problems. They are recommending 1-2x week OT. I am waiting to find out whether my insurance will pick up any of the cost. I also am looking into OT through the public school system which down in Florida is where he would get treatment free after 3 years of age. It just seems often that not all OT's have the training with sensory. His OT when he was in Early Steps knew of it, but wasn't trained in it. The place I just took him appears to have therapists with extra training specifically geared toward that. We are also dealing with a much more serious problem. He was born with a congenital heart defect and at our last cardiologist appointment found out his condition is worsening and we are now looking at the great likelihood of heart surgery as a child vs. what they originally thought as an adult. We are going to Miami's Children's Hospital in 2 weeks for a second opinion. I know that all his upsets and stresses throughout his day can't be good for his blood pressure or heart. I find that I really try to appease him right now so that he remains as calm as possible at least until I get the second opinion. I am so tired and stressed. As far as him maybe being on the autism spectrum...it is definitely possible. I just don't think that the label is that important to me, at least right now. I think if he has something it would be on the mild end and hopefully he will just be a little different or quirkier than others and won't need to believe something is wrong with him. Thanks again for the warm welcome.

CBS Softballs Doctor Promoting Dangerous Therapy for Autism
Maia Szalavitz, April 17, 2007
Chelation? Mercury in vaccines? Quack, quack! Have CBS producers heard of the Centers for Disease Control, Google?
CBS This Morning today promoted a new book by Dr. Kenneth Bock, titled Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders, with an author interview. On its website, the segment was headlined "Autism: More Treatable Than Thought? Expert: It Is, Along With ADHD, Asthma, Allergies."
But anchor Harry Smith failed to even mention that Bock supports the idea that autism is caused by mercury in vaccines – a connection which is not supported by scientific evidence, despite repeated studies of the issue. Smith didn't even ask about it.
Worse, he didn't question Bock about his use of chelation to treat autism, a method of removing heavy metals from the blood that has already killed at least one autistic child, and is completely unproven as a treatment for autism.
Smith asked one non-softball question: Whether anything more than anecdotes supported Bock's treatment approach. But he allowed Bock to claim some published research backs it and studies are planned without asking for more specifics.
It's one thing to cover a controversial new medical book by exploring both sides of the issue and by letting the audience know that the author's ideas are contentious. It's quite another to claim extraordinary results without requiring evidence and fail to even inform viewers that some treatments promoted by the book's author have resulted in death and are far outside the medical mainstream.

Meeting Weighs Role of Higher Education in NELA
1:29 minutes (1.35 MB) Download
About two hundred people assembled Monday morning at the University of Louisiana at Monroe's Library Conference Center to listen to Commissioner Purcell speak on the future of education and employment in Northeast Louisiana.
Employers and educators in the audience offered some suggestions. Their focus was on overcoming poverty and unemployment through education.
Commissioner Purcell says the meeting was a good first step for the region in discovering its educational needs.
"To some extent, it's what this area wants to be when it grows up. What is that transition going to look like, what kind of credentials will be needed – and then making sure that our institutions can provide those, both at the certificate/associate level, and at the Bachelor – all the way up to doctorate."
Representative Kay Katz was in attendance. She says that staying in school is the only solution for young people hoping to land a job.
"Well the solutions are to bring more business in here, put more people to work, keep out young people in school. Our dropout rates are too high. And we have too many of our young people from the seventh to the ninth grade walking away from education."
Commissioner Purcell agrees with Katz. He wants to scale back high drop-out rates, reminding people that there are scholarships available to further their education.
For KEDM, I'm John Hughes.

Research Interests
Impact of climate change on reef fishes
Acclimation and adaptation to a changing environment
Role of habitat in structuring fish communities
Labile sex allocation in fish
I have broad interests in the population, community and behavioural ecology of reef fishes. My research currently focuses on understanding and predicting the impacts that climate change will have on populations and communities of marine fishes, both directly through changes in the physical environment and indirectly through effects on coral reef habitat. Using a range of laboratory and field experiments I am investigating the effects of climate change on reef fish populations and testing their capacity for acclimation and adaptation to a rapidly changing environment. My research group are leaders in understanding and predicting the effects of ocean acidification on marine fishes.
I have also conducted extensive research on the role of habitat in structuring reef fish communities, from the scale of individual coral colonies up to whole ocean basins. I have students working on a wide range of projects related to fish-habitat associations.
My other major research interest is the ecology and evolution of labile sex allocation in fishes.
Research Projects Currently or Recently Supervised
Thermal adaptation and acclimation in reef fishes
Effect of ocean acidification on behaviour and habitat selection of reef fishes
Effect of global warming and ocean acidification on early life history traits of reef fishes
Effect of habitat degradation on recruitment and community structure of reef fishes
Role of habitat diversity in maintaining reef fish diversity

The Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, formerly the LVH - Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, is one of the city's most respected resorts offering a combination of elegance and impeccable service. Located on Paradise Road, just a block from the Strip, the property is also minutes from McCarran International Airport and steps from the Las Vegas Convention Center. There's even a Las Vegas Monorail station on the premises, so guests will enjoy easy access to popular hotels and attractions on Las Vegas Boulevard.The Westgate Las Vegas has a storied history.

Not the Hilton anymore.
July 3, 2012
I've stayed at this hotel back when it was the Hilton. Some things are the same but some have definitely changed.
First, the rooms, pool & such are still good. The front desk staff at check in was very good.
The clientele have seriously dropped. Many sketchy people and it doesn't seem to be very safe in certain hallways and the parking garage. Didn't see one security person now that I think about it.
The worst part is the casino, namely their sports book. This once was the best sports book in Vegas but now it's no better than some nickel and dime outfit. So sad.
I found out this property is in-between owners so I'm not sure what will come of it later.
In any event, the price, hotel and ammenities were a good bargain but it's not worth it without the good overall service and the distance from the strip. They can and should do better. It's sad because the place still has potential.

The epitome of quality, romance and elegance on the Las Vegas Strip, the Bellagio offers luxurious rooms, gourmet restaurants and upscale shopping along with a healthy dose of cultural enlightenment.From the moment one passes the tree-lined pathway and eight-acre lake in front of the hotel, it's clear that the Bellagio pays impeccable attention to detail. The Fountains of Bellagio are world famous, amazing onlookers as they soar into the sky. A vibrant flower petal chandelier by glass sculptor Dale Chihuly, called Fiori di Como, hangs above the lobby like a garden growing from the 18-foot ceiling. The front desk is bordered by a thriving display of foliage, which often coincides with the seasonal display of fresh flowers and trees at the glass-topped Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. A horticulture staff of 140 maintains the beloved attraction, which boasts an entirely different presentation for each of the four seasons and Chinese New Year. Plus, you'll find Mr. & Ms. Green Thumb on hand daily from 10:30 - 11:30 a.m. to answer questions about the gardens.Art is a common theme at the Bellagio with museum-caliber exhibitions chosen from prestigious collections captivating patrons at The Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art. The lobby for Cirque du Soleil's water acrobatics masterpiece "O" showcases bronze sculptures of dancers and acrobats by master sculptor Richard MacDonald, ushering guests into the world of grace and motion before they even enter the theater.Guests will find ultimate relaxation at the Zen-inspired, two-story and can also take fitness classes in The Bamboo Studio exercise room. A quiet hallway overlooking the villa-style pool area marks the perfect spot to enjoy a cold treat from Café Gelato, read a newspaper or sip coffee. The shops at are high-end and exclusive. Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Giorgio Armani and the timeless jewelry stores Breguet and Tiffany & Co. are counted among these, and several luxury retailers -- like Bellissimo for eyewear and Platino for men's wear -- can be found along the pool promenade.Nightlife is always a classy experience at the The Bank.

Circus "O" tickets
Wife and I are going to Vegas in Oct, and would like to see Circus "O". I was going to purchase tickets today, but the site said that if didn't pick up tickets 2 hrs after purchase, it would be forfeited. How early can I puchase tickets? This will be our 1st time in Vegas.
Hi Kenneth,
I wouldn't buy tickets yet. I think that's a big mistake.
Maybe if you're booking a complete package with refund ability but that's a long time off and you can get tickets with no problem closer to the time you go.
I would wait until a few weeks prior.
Also, you can either book with Vegas.com (I assume you want to b/c you're asking on the website). Nonetheless, if you do want to buy tickets way in advance you can print them at home. It's actually easier that way and that way you know you have them.

CogniDox could not exist without the help of many open source projects. Perl, Apache and Solr are just a few of the excellent open source packages that help make CogniDox a leading document management system. So, to show our appreciation, we've released a couple of open source projects to help others.
Joomla!® is an award winning Content Management System which we've used to create customer extranets. OTRS is a full featured ticket tracking system that we use to support our own customers and it is a supported part of our CogniDox Extranet framework. We thought it would be great if these two tools worked together, so we've created the OTRS Joomla! Gateway component. Read more about it on the project page.
Each week there are around 3 million posts by bloggers on WordPress.com, and new bloggers typically find WordPress® easy to learn and powerful to use. We wanted to make it possible to use WordPress to write a user or company blog, but use Joomla to manage the overall website. So we created WordBridge. It's an easy-to-configure component that allows you to use WordPress to write and manage your blogs, then publish them automatically to a Joomla website. Read more about it on the project page.
OfficeToPDF is a command line utility that converts Microsoft Office® 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013 documents from their native format into PDF using Office's in-built PDF export features. Read more about it on the project page.
CogniDox's flexible search plugin architecture allows us to build interfaces for a number of search systems. We've integrated the open source Flax Search Service for Xapian and as a result of that work we've contributed the Flax Perl client. Read more about it on the project page.

Aquatic Safety Review, Part 1
Windows (and other natural light): Windows provide aquatic facilities with natural light and can be both inviting and aesthetically pleasing (especially to the staff who are working all day in the pool area).
However, windows also provide indoor aquatic facilities with the potential for heat loss, moisture (condensation) collection, and blind spots when guarding the pool (from certain locations).
Blind spots are caused when the windows' natural light overwhelms the indoor or underwater lighting, thereby reflecting off the water's surface and making it very difficult to see anywhere below this reflection.
An opalescent material used in place of windows will limit the glare, but only if the indoor facility lighting is adequate. Underwater lighting can help in such circumstances.
Also, some window coatings can reduce the reflective characteristics of the glass. In situations where there are windows, the indoor aquatic facility staff must always take into account the nature of the above challenges and address them appropriately (see also lifeguard stations below).
Note: HVAC-R systems can be designed to mitigate condensation build-up on windows indoors by installing heating ducts/vents that are directed toward the glass (ideally from below as heat rises). However, whether the heating ducts/vents are at deck height or above the deck level, but below the windows the staff needs to ensure that moisture does not find its way into the ducts/vents!
Worse than heating ducts/vents that blow the heat downward are ducts/vents that can collect water, setting-up the potential for sick building syndrome (where bacteria begins to grow in the ducts/vents and is transported into the facility along with the forced air).
Floors (the pool deck, etc.): The floors/decks should be inspected by staff on a regular basis for places in the deck where water is left standing, moisture condenses (can happen when the floor is colder than the air temperature), the visible presence of mold/mildew, and cracks or changes in expansion seals between walls and deck or the deck and pool (tank).
Staff should also be keenly aware of the deck surface with regard to cleanliness and the absence of anything that might cause harm, such as a hose left out on the deck, deck materials that are wearing or exposing sharp edges, etc.
Broken glass from windows, glass containers, etc. are especially dangerous in pool areas. Glass on the deck needs to be cleaned up meticulously (see also broken glass in the water).
Cleanliness is especially important, and the staff should check some floor areas more frequently than others for reasons of both safety and health…
Shower areas and the hallways leading from showers to pool areas are notorious for a build-up of bacteria that has been inadequately washed off of users prior to leaving the showers, therefore finding its way to the hallway floor. A strong scent of ammonia in these spaces should be a clear indication of the need for immediate cleaning/sanitation.
This same situation occurs where users go in the pool area immediately after showering. Often program participants are asked to report to a corner of the pool deck for instruction prior to entering the water. Over a period of time, these gathering areas will also need spot cleaning (with water and a disinfectant).
Pool: The pool (tank) includes the following physical features: gutter, inlets, outlets (with regard to water recirculation), means of access and egress (ladders, stairs, ramps, lifts, etc.), depth markings (located both on the deck at the pool's edge and on the interior walls of pool just above the waterline), underwater lights (120V AC or 12V DC, UL listed), etc.
Each of these aspects of the pool needs to be inspected by the aquatic staff and/or pool professionals, on a regular basis. Hazardous issues should be addressed immediately and may require closing the pool. Other concerns may be addressed by a daily/weekly/annual maintenance plan.
Indoor pools (occasionally) and outdoor pools (annually) are drained for thorough cleaning, maintenance, and repair. Repairs to the tank are more easily made when the pool is empty.
However, there are a techniques and materials available to repair missing tiles and/or cracks, even in a pool that is full (contact a professional who specializes in swimming pool repairs).
Water Quality: The aquatic staff needs to assess and record (using appropriate tools, like test kits for sanitation and markings on the pool bottom that assess turbidity) the pool temperature and the water quality, and as required by local health code (usually several times per day).
Many pools maintain water quality with automated systems that test the water as it is filtered and then re-circulated back to the pool.

By Jean A. Flanagan
Moorefield Examiner –
Andrew Todd Tanner, 40, of Moorefield, pleaded guilty to one count of attempting to operate a clandestine drug laboratory in Hardy County Circuit Court Tuesday, March 25.
Tanner, a former Hardy County Sheriff's Deputy, has a history of drug abuse. According to court documents, Tanner became addicted to prescription pain killers in 2007. Between 2007 and 2009, Tanner was prescribed hundreds of pills per month by Dr. Rajan Masih. In 2009, then Sheriff Robert Ferrell ordered Tanner to seek counseling.
Masih lost his license to practice medicine after prescribing drugs that led to the death of four people and the addiction of countless others.
Tanner was first indicted in 2010 for 12 counts of obtaining a controlled substance by misrepresentation or fraud. A coconspirator stole a prescription pad from a local physician and the two were writing their own prescriptions.
Tanner pleaded guilty to two counts of obtaining possession of a controlled substance by misrepresentation or fraud. He was sentenced to not less than one and not more than four years, which was suspended. He was sentenced to five years probation, but was released early.
In January, Moorefield Police obtained a search warrant for Tanner's residence based on an investigation that began in July 2013. The search warrant revealed numerous items used in the manufacture of meth amphetamine.
According to the police report, while Tanner would not provide a written statement, he admitted to officers he had been manufacturing meth amphetamine for six months.
At the March 25 hearing, Tanner's attorney, David Judy introduced a representative from the Veterans Administration who said Tanner qualified for drug treatment and a post traumatic stress disorder program.
"He certainly needs therapy," said David Gower from the Veterans Administration. "We did a drug and alcohol evaluation and he more than qualifies."
Judy said he advised his client to plead guilty and requested he be sent to VA treatment. "I think it's in my client's best interest," he said.
Hardy County Prosecuting Attorney Lucas See said he wants Tanner to be further evaluated.
"The state is requesting a 60-day evaluation," he said. "We need to see if he is a candidate for drug rehab. There needs to be a punishment component."
Tanner admitted to manufacturing meth amphetamine. "It was a stupid decision," he said.
Judy said Tanner is being held at the Potomac Highlands Regional Jail on 23-hour lock down because he was a former law enforcement officer. "He had an exemplary record before drugs," he said.
Circuit Court Judge Charles Parsons found Tanner guilty of attempting to operate a clandestine drug laboratory.
"Get treatment and come back for a status hearing on May 28," he said. "I'm sympathetic because of your service. I'm not sympathetic because of the meth lab."

3. Shake Your Thang
I'll always have a soft spot for Marilu Henner due to my massive crush on her in the 1980s, but I have to say that Lisa Rinna has won me over this season as well. I used to write her off as a joke due to the fact that her lips are bigger than my butt cheeks (maybe I'm the one that's a joke then), but I have had to rethink my drink this go round. The woman manages to be both sane and entertaining at the same time, which is a hard feat to pull off on this show.
Our delightful Lisa Rinna moment of the week occurred when the former soap star put her rear into gear for some impromptu dancing to Gary Busey's even more impromptu singing of a song whose only lyrics seemed to be "Art is only the search. It is not the final form." (I think lightning may have struck Mr. Hangbrain more than once, if you know what I'm sayin'.) But it is was another fun aside from Lisa who has turned into a real competitor this season. Especially when you consider that there has been only one female Celebrity Apprentice winner (compared to four male winners), meaning a woman is overdue to win again.
4. Feeling Blue
They're baaaaaaaaack! When I saw the Blue Men Group show up to deliver some money to Plan B's art show, I couldn't help but wonder if Clay Aiken was sitting somewhere breaking out into a huge sweat and having horrible flashbacks to last season's money delivery debacle.
In case you missed it, Penn Jillette got his buddies in the Blue Man Group to deliver a bunch of cash last year to an Aiken-run fundraising task outside in a park. Just one problem: Instead of doing the easy and practical thing of handing over a check or wad of bills, they shot the money through an air pump into a big balloon that then popped, sending money all over the place. Now, just imagine if you will for a second the reaction of people on the streets of New York when money literally starts falling from the sky. Chaos would be an accurate description. Clay looked like he was about to have a heart attack as random dudes starting stuffing their pockets with cash.
So here came the Blue Man Group once again, and once again they could not simply hand over the money. This time, they folded $15,000 of individual bills into triangles inside 150 pounds of gelatin. Oh, Blue Man Group, why must you make everything so hard? And why must you look so creepy? Although I hear Peter Marcelle dubbed the entire thing a "masterpiece!"
5. Boardroom Odds & Ends
* Before we get into what went down in the Boardroom, can we pause for the cause and talk abut Dennis Rodman's jacket for a minute. I mean, WHAT THE HELL?!? That is the craziest red, white, and blue zig-zaggy stripped sport jacket I've ever seen. Are we really sure Dennis Rodman is not still drunk, because I can't see a sober person putting that on.
* Best Celebrity Apprentice exchange ever:
Stephen Baldwin: "May I finish."
Doanld Trump: [long pause] "No."
* So, Power lost yet again as Lil John's team accumulated only $179,500 to Project Manager Lisa's $225,000. Omarosa —who brought in only $12,500 (and $2,000 of that appeared to perhaps be from her own pocket when she asked a friend of hers buying a piece to add it to his total so she could raise more than Dennis Rodman) — hilariously then said that Lil John should be the one fired because he was Project Manager. "How can you possibly blame a Project Manager who brought in $82,500 when you brought in $12,500?" asked Boardroom advisor and licensed Omarosa hater Piers Morgan. Look at Piers Morgan, attempting to inject common sense onto All-Star Celebrity Apprentice! Isn't that cute?

When? Friday, 11 March, 9.00-12.00
Where? "Världen", Geocentrum I, Sölvegatan 10
For who? All students, researchers and teachers at Lund university
Andrew Light, Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress, will visit Lund University on Friday 11 March and talk from an American NGO perspective about what happened after the latest round in the UN climate change negotiations (COP 16 in Cancún, Mexico, December 2010), such as President Obama's domestic energy agenda, the international climate change initiatives and future of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. The US position is rather central in the climate talks, but also a complicated one due to the history of the Kyoto Protocol and the domestic setting with different atmosphere on the federal level and in many of the individual states.
The day may offer insights on what's going on with the US negotiating position now moving forward and reflections on issues of collaboration, such as on climate finance. The latter is one of the foreseen main elements in a sought new global climate deal under the UN system.
The meeting will provide an opportunity for discussion, questions and answers, as well as exchange of ideas, preceded by a short lecture.
The event is for free and without invitation. However, if you want free lunch, please send an e-mail to Ulrika Jönsson Belyazid before Wednesday 9 March, 10 pm.
The day is hosted by the Lund University's internal project called "Klimatinitiativet" and LUCSUS.

White shark tagging expedition sets sail (July 31), Shark Week segment The Return of Jaws features REMUS technology (Aug. 5), and WHOI scientists and engineers share latest research at public event (Aug. 7)
As mythic as sharks are, surprisingly little is known about these apex ocean predators. Scientists and engineers at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) are teaming up with strategic partners to gather crucial scientific data on these elusive creatures and to inform the public about their findings.
Beginning July 31, WHOI scientists will collaborate with the non-profit shark research organization OCEARCH on a month-long expedition to tag white sharks and collect valuable blood and tissue samples off the coast of Cape Cod. The OCEARCH vessel is uniquely equipped to catch, tag, and bio-sample sharks before they are released.
Little is known about population sizes and movements of many large shark species.
What they eat, how often they eat, where they breed
"We're missing the very basics: what they eat, how often they eat, where they breed. There's a real knowledge gap," said Simon Thorrold, WHOI senior scientist, who will conduct research aboard the M/V OCEARCH.
The expedition will help scientists collect the information needed to inform potential conservation and public safety strategies for Cape Cod's white sharks.
"I've been studying shark ecology, life history, and behavior for just about 30 years. And the reason I do that is so we can have the best available, most comprehensive information on how these animals live, ultimately so we can manage them at sustainable levels," said Greg Skomal, WHOI adjunct scientist and MA Marine Fisheries biologist who will lead the research aboard the M/V OCEARCH.
Top of the food chain
As apex or top-of-the-food chain predators, fluctuations in shark numbers can affect the entire marine food web.
"Sharks do the same things lions do in Africa and tigers in Asia," Thorrold said. "Apex predators play important roles in maintaining ecological diversity."
Preliminary research has found that many of these white sharks travel to remote oceanic habitats in the central North Atlantic Ocean, which makes it challenging for scientists to study them. Also, many of the individual white sharks are transient and do not stay in the waters off Cape Cod for long. This gives scientists a narrow window of opportunity to gather data on them while they pass through.
Until recently, scientists have been limited in their ability to observe white sharks. But engineers in WHOI's Oceanographic Systems Lab, which invented the autonomous underwater vehicle REMUS, have developed with funding from the Discovery Channel new technologies to gather information on these creatures in their natural habitat. Some of these advances will be unveiled on Discovery Channel's "Shark Week" on Mon., Aug. 5 at 9 p.m.
Great white shark and gray seal populations on Cape Cod
To raise awareness about the white shark and gray seal populations in Cape Cod waters, WHOI will host a free public forum on Wed., Aug. 7 with presentations from the scientists and engineers who study these species. "White Sharks/Gray Seals: Chasing the Cape's Most Charismatic Predators" will be held in the Redfield Auditorium located at 45 Water Street in Woods Hole from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Adjacent to the auditorium, a "discovery" tent will feature displays and hands-on educational activities about the range of shark and seal research conducted at WHOI. The tent activities will begin at 5:30 and run until 9 p.m. Space for the public event is limited. Reservations can be made online at http://www.whoi.edu/events/sharksandseals or by calling the WHOI Information Office at (508) 289-2252.
Hear from WHOI scientists about their latest research at the Science Made Public talks every Tuesday at 3 p.m. throughout July and August at the WHOI Exhibit Center Auditorium located at 15 School Street in Woods Hole. On Aug. 20, WHOI engineer Amy Kukulya will talk about the new technology she helped develop to track white sharks like never before. On Aug. 27, WHOI-MIT joint program biology student Li Ling Hamady will talk about her research identifying the age of sharks through chemical analyses of their vertabrae. For more information, call (508) 289-2700.

The virtuosi of Canadian Brass has made the brass quintet an exciting vehicle for serious concert music. The quintet has a long history of recording classical repertoire. They have a special affinity for Baroque music, which requires the musical structure that has become the Canadian Brass' trademark.
Their more than 60 recordings include works by Purcell, Vivaldi, Gabrieli, Pachelbel, Beethoven and Wagner - all in meticulously crafted transcriptions that are setting new musical traditions in brass performance. They are especially drawn to the works of J.S. Bach. Join Jill Pasternak when she speaks with Canadian Brass about their new CD, Echo: Glory of Gabrieli.

Reviews For Backwards
Author's Response: lily of love:)
Author's Response: Yea, lol. It gets pretty dramatic at times. There might be a bit of fluffy here and there, and there might eventually be more... I suppose it depends on how much my readers like the fluffy vs the drama. Thanks again for your reviews:)
Author's Response: Lol thanks for all your reviews! They're made my day.
*squees some more*
To this day, I hate to eat at the dining room table. When my husband and I had our son, I made one rule. There was to be no discussion about trouble or unpleasant things during dinner. School could be discussed if something positive was going on there.
Ginny should have let the kids see Dumbledore. That way there could have been an adult present. This is going to be trouble.
Author's Response: It was like that at my grandparents house... Lol but never my parents. I still hide my plate from my grandparents when I have food left on it... And I'm 24. Thanks for the review! I think the next chapter will be interesting;)
how do i think this is going to go? I think it's gonna end badly, one way or another.
Author's Response:
Thanks! And it might end well! Lol or it might not...;) I am still throwing a few scenarios around in my head;).
I forgot to mention I added a fanfiction Facebook page under ye name Lirio Deamor... I will put that on my page as soon as I get to a computer. It will be strictly for my stories, and if readers wish to share their own opinions or ask for this or that to be in the stories... I think it will give me more ideas if it is as successful as others ones that I have seen.

Morning Walkthrough: Celtics believe
The Celtics have gotten rid of their morning walkthrough, but that doesn't mean we have to. Here are a few Celtics links, and maybe even an NBA link or two, to help wake you up and get you focused for the day.
John Schuhmann, NBA.com – "Last season, the Cavs swept their first eight playoff games, winning them by an average of 16.8 points per game. They manhandled a Pistons team that didn't care to be there and then slapped the Hawks, who were banged up and just happy to be in the second round for the first time in 10 years. That's not the case this postseason. The Bulls backed into the playoffs, but had postseason experience, an All-Star point guard and a lot more heart than the Pistons did last season. And as the Cavs are finding out, the Celtics are on another level than the Hawks when it comes to experience, defensive intensity and desire. 'They believe,' Cavs forward Antawn Jamison said of Boston after its Game 2 win. Yes, despite what has been written about them over the last few months, the Celtics believe they're a championship team. So far in this series, they've looked a lot more like it than the Cavs have."
Steve Bulpett, Boston Herald – "'Just do your jobs,' Rivers said. 'That's all we talked about (Monday) was just doing our jobs. I told them. I said, 'Don't try to do more. If you do your job, you're good." The Celtics were, in fact, very good in Game 2 of this Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Cleveland Cavaliers. By keeping their foot (wrapped in support hose and corrective footwear) on the pedal in the third quarter, the C's avoided a rerun of the Game 1 swoon and ran off with a 104-86 victory Monday. As they return to practice today, the Celts are feeling buoyed by the 1-1 series count while the Cavaliers are staggered by the same scene. It's 1968, and the Celts are Harvard after the 29-29 'win' against Yale. And had they not lost their aggression and focus (see above) in the opener, they quite easily could be coming home with a 2-0 advantage and a chance to close this series out. 'Yeah, but we take it one game at a time,' Kevin Garnett said. 'If, could've, would've, should've – it's what it is. We're 1-1. Now we're going back home . . . to the jungle.'"
Rich Levine, CSNNE – "I remember sitting in the Celtics pressroom, watching a dejected Rivers, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce futilely try to make sense of pathetic losses to the Nets, Grizzlies, Wizards and Bucks, and thinking that they didn't have a donuts chance in Big Baby's kitchen of making it out of the first round. And now I just know that things have changed. And maybe that's my answer to how we all got here. That sometimes in sports, things just change. And when it comes down to when they will or how they will, we just don't know. And, really, that is, and always will be, the single greatest part of being a sports fan. You just never know."
Ron Borges, Boston Herald – "'There were times I actually wanted him to attack a little more,' Rivers said. 'There were times, especially when we lost our way a little bit in the fourth quarter (allowing Cleveland a 15-0 run that proved meaningless only because the C's held a 25-point lead at the time it began). But he just had a great floor game. I call him (Jason) Varitek. I thought he called great balls and strikes, if you want to put it that way.' Rondo was in command of the floor all night, but it was when he struck with the ball in his hand that he was most effective, driving the middle with a darting quickness that broke down the Cavs defense. It is what he did in the first half of Game 1 but didn't do in the second. That's when a great opportunity to knock the Cavs back on their heels was lost, but Monday night he showed for all of the 45 minutes he was on the floor what has to be done to beat the Eastern Conference's top seed. The Little One has to become the Little Big Man. If he can, LeBron James will have another MVP trophy to add to his mantle, but nothing more than that. 'We get the ball to him as much as possible when we get stops because he can create havoc,' Paul Pierce said of Rondo. 'He is one of the fastest point guards in the league when he gets into the lane and finds guys. He can also finish, and that's what we need.'"
Julian Benbow, Boston Globe – "If Game 2 proved anything, it's that Cleveland won't be able to win with one player alone, and it will take more than three — or even five — for the Celtics to win. 'That's pretty much the game plan for how we're going to have to beat this team,'' Kevin Garnett said. "We're going to have to do it together and collectively.' 'That's how our team is right now,' said Celtics president Danny Ainge. 'Not any one person has to carry the load, and we don't rely on one person to have a great performance. Every night it can be a different person, and that's the strength of our team.' It's no secret that as the starters go, the Celtics go, but there's a limit on how much of the load they can be expected to carry."
Dan Duggan, Boston Herald – "Growing up in Berkley, Gaffney watched countless Celtics games from the Garden balcony. But since signing with the C's on the final day of the regular season, Gaffney's vantage point has been the team's bench. 'I couldn't count how many times I've been to the Garden when it was the (original) Garden,' Gaffney said. 'Even while I'm not dressing right now, to be able to sit on the same bench that Paul Pierce [stats] sits on and Larry Bird sat on and Kevin McHale and Robert Parrish – it's like a dream come true.'"
Mark Murphy, Boston Herald – "Though the C's bench tied its Cavs counterpart with 27 Game 2 points after barely causing a ripple in Game 1, there's no doubt which side made the biggest dent. Rivers' disappointment earlier in the week obviously had an effect. 'The bench, collectively as a group, said we had to do something,' Davis said. 'We feel like we're one of the best bench teams in the league, and we're capable of games like this. Game 1 was Game 1. We just have to deliver and that's what we did (Monday).' Wallace, perhaps stung by the criticism of his play over the second half of the season, allowed his silence to do the talking Monday. That wasn't a problem – not when teammates like Davis were willing to grab the microphone. 'Rasheed Wallace,' said Davis, as if by simply intoning the name he was saying all that was necessary. 'That was the difference in the game. Rasheed Wallace did huge things for us (Monday), and each night it's going to be somebody different. If we can keep up this level of play, step up and deliver, we'll be fine. Rasheed is just that type of player. I always expect Sheed to play. Sheed never sits down, he always practices. He plays the game like it's supposed to be played, and (Monday) was his night.'"
Kirk Minihane, WEEI – "Easy call for the Celtics. Anytime they have a lead in double-digits I just assume that it will be gone before TNT can get to its next "Are We There Yet" promo. They just get way too Pierce-happy in those spots, moving away from what got them the big lead. Put it another way: When a 25-point lead is trimmed to 18, usually it isn't a big deal. But with this team you just knew it was going to get close on Monday night. And if Antwan Jamison hits a wide-open three that would have cut the lead to seven points with six minutes left, I wonder if this column is even being written."
Mary Schmitt Boyer, Cleveland Plain Dealer – "The Cavs likely would have taken Tuesday off had they won Game 2 on Monday. Instead, Brown brought them in to watch film and talk about what went wrong. 'When I don't feel like I did a good job with something, I'm the type of guy who wants to attack it and see what I can do to help these guys out to better the situation,' Brown said. The coach said he had been more angry after games than he was on Monday. 'I just think we can play better,' he said. 'I know we can play better. You don't want to be satisfied. Not only can the guys play better on the floor, but I can help them better. I have to do a better job of that. We have to do a better job of that on the floor in Game 3.'"
Brian Windhorst, Cleveland Plain Dealer – "The Celtics have identified the Kevin Garnett vs. Antawn Jamison matchup is one they want to exploit. During the regular season, Garnett took 20 shots in a game just two times. Working on Jamison in the post relentlessly, Garnett has taken 20 shots in each playoff game so far. On Monday, the Cavs, an in attempt to keep passes from going to Garnett, had Jamison stand in front of him to deny entry passes for a stretch in the second half. Rondo simply lobbed the ball over the smaller Jamison to Garnett for three consecutive baskets in the third quarter as the Cavs made no adjustments. Garnett had 18 points and 10 rebounds in each game after having just one double double in the past 11 games. It is clear the strategy the Cavs have been using with Jamison is not working well."
Chris Forsberg, ESPNBoston – "When asked by Cleveland reporters about Mike Brown's rise from buzz-worthy assistant in San Antonio to coach of a Cavaliers squad that finished with the best record in the NBA this season, Rivers took the opportunity to shine the spotlight on Thibodeau. 'I had heard of [Brown] because he was in San Antonio, and knowing [Spurs coach Gregg Popovich] and that group, then he went to Indiana [as an associate head coach], so I knew about him,' said Rivers. 'You hear all a lot about assistants. I have one, Tom Thibodeau, that, in my opinion, should be a head coach now and should have been one. Hopefully he gets a shot as well.'"
Brian Schmitz, Orlando Sentinel – "Who knew that the Orlando Magic would end up taking another day off? They certainly couldn't have expected it to be this easy or their play to be this crisp once they blew off the cobwebs. But with their game in mothballs for seven days, the Magic showed none of the rust they expected, whipping the Atlanta Hawks 114-71 on Tuesday night in Game 1 of the second round. 'I was a little surprised with that,' coach Stan Van Gundy said. 'It was good to see.' And bad for the Hawks, who appeared to have trotted out their junior varsity. How bad was it? The Magic's biggest lead was 46. They led by 41 points at the end of the third quarter — and the Hawks had scored just 44. And it might not get much better for Atlanta now that they've seemingly sprung Dwight Howard from playoff purgatory."
Mark Bradley, Atlanta Journal Constitution – "The Hawks really believed they had a chance to steal Game 1, but the only crime committed here was fraud. The East's No. 3 seed performed as if it were back in its glory days of Billy Knight burning lottery picks on guys named Williams. The Hawks were tied after 14 minutes. Ten minutes later they trailed by 20 points. And it would — oh yes, it would — get doubly worse. It's no easy feat to trail a Round 2 playoff game by 41 points having played only 36 minutes, but the proud conquerors of Milwaukee managed it. They were down 85-44 after three quarters. And I say it again: This is why so few folks outside Atlanta, and many folks in Atlanta, don't take seriously a team that won 53 games this season and has survived a Game 7 in each of the two springs. The Hawks tried really hard those first 14 minutes. Then the home team got going, and the visitors decided trying to play sound basketball really wasn't worth the effort. So they ceased and desisted. Joe Johnson kept losing the ball. (He had four turnovers against five points the first half.) Jamal Crawford looked scared. (His first half: Two points, two points.) And Mike Woodson's grand scheme to control Dwight Howard worked for a little while, but the sheer weirdness of it — deploying the forgotten Jason Collins before the NBA's sixth man of the year and the ancient Joe Smith in the first quarter — undid the team it was supposed to bolster. The Hawks were so consumed by trying to bump and bedevil Howard they stopped running any semblance of an offense. (Collins made a basket and seemed shocked.) They scored 23 points in the first quarter; they managed 21 in the next two. They tried to go Iso-Joe and that didn't work, so everyone decided to hoist jumpers. And the lead grew — it would peak at 112-66 — and the humiliation deepened, and the East's No. 3 seed became something a No. 3 seed should never be: pitiable."
Mike Bresnahan, LA Times – "Any way to change this to a best-of-five series? The Lakers continued to get the best of the Utah Jazz, turning a Western Conference rivalry into a playground version of sixth-graders against fourth-graders, the latest after-school scuffle transitioning into a 111-103 victory Tuesday at Staples Center. It wasn't easy — nothing seems to be for the Lakers in these playoffs — but they took a 2-0 lead over the Jazz in the conference semifinals. The numbers are getting overwhelming, the Lakers now two victories from eliminating the Jazz for a third consecutive season while moving to 20-6 against Utah over the last few years, including playoffs. Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom brushed off recent injuries on the way to double-doubles, and Kobe Bryant almost had one too, but before the Lakers pat themselves on the back, they have plenty to study before Game 3 on Saturday in Utah. They gave away most of a 15-point lead, committed 20 turnovers, made four of 17 three-point attempts (23.5%) and failed to coast despite double-doubles by three players. Only when Odom found Ron Artest with a long lead pass for a dunk could Lakers fans begin celebrating in earnest, their team ahead by eight with 28.3 seconds to play. 'Somehow, we managed to win that game,' Lakers Coach Phil Jackson said, sighing a couple of times at his postgame news conference."

Victorine Elizabeth du Pont
Éleuthère Irénée du Pont de Nemours (24 June 1771 – 31 October 1834), known as Irénée du Pont, or E.I. du Pont, was a French-American chemist and industrialist who founded the gunpowder manufacturer, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company. His descendants, the Du Pont family, were one of America's richest and most prominent families in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Early life and family[edit]
Du Pont was born 24 June 1771, in Paris, France, the son of Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours and Nicole Charlotte Marie Louise Le Dée de Rencourt. His father was a political economist who had been elevated to the nobility in 1784 by "letters patent" granted by King Louis XVI. Growing up on his father's estate, "Bois des Fossés", near Égreville, young du Pont was unenthusiastic about his studies in most subjects but showed particular interest in explosives. Du Pont married Sophie Dalmas (1775–1828) in 1791, and they had eight children.
Du Pont sailed before his family and landed at Rhode Island on 1 January 1800, along with his father and his brother's family. By 1802, he had established both his business and his family home, Eleutherian Mills, on the Brandywine Creek in Delaware. 1 January is the anniversary of the arrival of the du Pont family in America, and this date is still so celebrated by its descendants.
Career in France[edit]
In the Fall of 1785, du Pont entered the Collège Royal in Paris. Two years later, he was accepted by the friend of his father and noted chemist Antoine Lavoisier as a student in the Régie des poudres et des salpêtres, the government agency responsible for the manufacture of gunpowder. It was from Lavoisier that he gained his expertise in nitrate extraction and manufacture.[1] He studied "advanced explosives production techniques" [2] After a brief apprenticeship, he took a position at the government powder works in Essones but quit after Lavoisier left.[3] In 1791, du Pont began to help his father manage their small publishing house in Paris, where they published a republican newspaper in support of governmental reforms in France. Despite being a softspoken chemist, he also had a strong sense of social order. Du Pont was a member of the pro-Revolution national guard and supported the Jacobins. However, on August 20, 1792, both du Pont and his father participated in protecting the escape of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette when the Tuileries Palace was stormed. His father riled fellow revolutionaries by refusing to go along with the guillotine execution of Louis XVI, and the two men's moderate political views proved to be a liability in revolutionary France. His father was arrested in 1794, only avoiding execution because of the end of the Reign of Terror. In September 1797, du Pont and his father spent a night in La Force prison while their home and presses were ransacked. These events led his father to lose hope in the political situation in France, and so he began making plans to move their family to America and aspired to create a model community of French émigrés. On October 2, 1799, the du Pont family sold their publishing house and set sail for the United States. They reached Rhode Island on January 1, 1800 and began to settle in the home the eldest du Pont had secured in Bergen Point, New Jersey. They soon set up an office in New York City to decide what their new line of business would be, but ironically mild-mannered and introverted Éleuthère Irénée was not included in much of these plans. However, he would soon begin to realize the possibilities that his childhood apprenticeship with Lavoisier would allow him and his family in America.[4]
E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company[edit]
Du Pont had no thought of becoming involved with gunpowder manufacture again upon his arrival in the United States, but he brought with him an expertise in chemistry and gunpowder making, during a time when the quality of American-made gunpowder was very poor. Delaware legend holds that he decided to go into the gunpowder business during a fateful hunting trip with Major Louis de Tousard, a former French artillery officer then employed by the United States Army to procure gunpowder supplies. Du Pont's gun misfired as he attempted to shoot a bird, which caused him to reflect on his powdermaking apprenticeship with Lavoisier as a youth in France. Du Pont commented on the inferior quality of the American-made powder they were using for hunting despite its high price. At his request, Tousard arranged a tour of an American powder plant. He quickly deduced that the saltpeter being used was of good enough quality, however the American refining process was poor and inefficient compared to the techniques he had learned in France. He began to think that he could use his experience from France to manufacture gunpowder of a higher quality in the United States and reform the current industry standard for refinery. With his father's blessing, he began to assemble capital for the construction of the first powder mills, and returned to France in the beginning of 1801 to procure the necessary financing and equipment. The act of association was signed on April 21, 1801, and the company was christened E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company since it was its namesake's ingenuity that had created this venture.[4] His gunpowder company was capitalized at $36,000 with 18 shares at $2,000 each. He purchased a site on Brandywine Creek for $6,740. There were several small buildings and a dam with foundations for a cotton-spinning mill which had been destroyed by fire. The first gunpowder was produced in April 1804.[3]
Du Pont died on 31 October 1834, at Eleutherian Mills, near Greenville. The cause of death was unspecified, due to "conflicting reports of either cholera or a heart attack." [4] He was buried in the Du Pont de Nemours Cemetery in Wilmington, Delaware.
The company he founded would become one of the largest and most successful American corporations. In fact, by the mid- 19th century it was the largest supplier of gunpowder to the U.S. military, and supplied as much as forty percent of the powder used by the Union Army forces during the Civil War.[5] His sons, Alfred V. du Pont (1798–1856) and Henry du Pont (1812–1889), managed the plant after his death, assisted by his son-in-law, Antoine Bidermann. His grandson, Lammot du Pont I (1831–1884), was the first president of the United States Gunpowder Trade Association, popularly known as the Powder Trust.[3]
