An Immunofluorescent Survey of the Brown Tide Chrysophyte Aureococcus anophagefferens Along the Northeast Coast of the United States Anderson, D.M., B.A. Keafer, D.M. Kulis, R.M. Waters, and R. Nuzzi Journal of Plankton Research, Vol. 15, No. 5, pp. 563-580, 1993 WHOI-R-93-006 Surveys were conducted along the northeast coast of the U.S.A., between Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and the Chesapeake Bay in 1988 and 1990, to determine the population distribution of Aureococcus anophageefferens, the chrysophyte responsible for massive and destructive brown tides in Long Island and Narragansett Bay beginning in 1985. Both years, A. anophagefferons was detected at numerous stations in and around Long Island and Barnegat Bay, New Jersey, typically at high cell concentrations. To the north and south of this 'center,' nearly half of the remaining stations were positive for A. anophagerrons, but the cells were always at very low cell concentration. Many of the positive identifications in areas distant from Long Island were in waters with no known history of harmful brown tides. The species was present in both open coastal and estuarine locations, in salinities between 18 and 32 practical salinity units (PSU). The observed population distributions apparently still reflect the massive 1985 outbreak when this species first bloomed, given the number of positive locations and high abundance of A. anophagerrons in the immediate vicinity of Long Island. However, the frequent occurrence of this species in waters far from the population 'center' is disturbing. Aureococcus anophagerrons is more widely distributed than was previously thought. Numerous areas thus have the potential for destructive brown tides such as those associated with the sudden appearance of the species in 1985.
Use of Remotely-sensed Sea Surface Temperatures in Studies of Alexandrium tamarense Bloom Dynamics Keafer, B.A. and D.M. Anderson In: Smayda, T.J. and Y. Shimizu (eds.), Toxic Phytoplankton Blooms in the Sea, Elsevier Science Publishers B.V., pp. 763-768, 1993 WHOI-R-93-003 Remote sensing of sea surface temperatures (SST) has proven to be a useful tool in studies of the bloom dynamics of Alexandrium tamarenseand the onset of PSP in the southwestern Gulf of Maine. A warm coastal current (= plume) formed from spring runoff that is believed to be responsible for the southerly transport of A. tamarense along the coast in this region was easily resolved in SST imagery. Coastal upwelling, which moved the warmer A. tamarense-containing buoyant plume offshore and away from nearshore shellfish, was detected in two of the three years of this study. The imagery provides valuable insights into the short-term oceanographic processes responsible for the development and behavior of the plume and the distribution of A. tamarense. Remotely-sensed SST has great promise as a tool to provide early warning of the conditions conductive for bloom development, transport, and the initiation of PSP in the region.

Alongshore Transport of a Toxic Phytoplankton Bloom in a Buoyancy Current: Alexandrium tamarense in the Gulf of Maine Franks, P.J.S. and D.M. Anderson Marine Biology, Vol. 112, pp. 153-164, 1992 WHOI-R-92-003 The authors examined the mechanisms controlling blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense Lebour and the concomitant patterns of shellfish toxicity in the southwestern Gulf of Maine, U.S.A. During a series of cruises from 1987 to 1989, hydrographic parameters were measured to elucidate the physical factors affecting the distribution and abundance of dinoflagellates along this coast. In 1988 and 1989 when toxicity was detected in the southern part of this region, A. tamarense cells were apparently transported into the area between Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Cape Ann, Massachusetts, in a coastally trapped buoyant plume. This plume appears to have been formed by the outflow from the Androscoggin and Kennebec Rivers. Flow rates of these rivers, hydrographic sections, and satellite images led the authors to conclude that the plume persisted for about a month, and extended alongshore for several hundred kilometers.

Anatomical Distribution of Paralytic Shellfish Toxins in Soft Shell Clams Martin, J.L., A.W. White, and J.J. Sullivan In: Graneli, E., B. Sundstroem, L. Edler and D.M. Anderson (eds.), Toxic Marine Phytoplankton, Elsevier, pp. 379-384, 1990 WHOI-R-90-024 Blooms of Alexandrium fundyense are an annual summer occurrence in the Bay of Fundy and are responsible for soft shell clams, Mya arenaria, accumulating paralytic shellfish toxins while filter feeding which result in the closure of most areas to harvesting. Shellfish toxicities for the southern Bay of Fundy behave as a unit and follow the Alexandrium bloom closely due to the tremendous turbulence and mixing within the system. Since 1980, several soft shell clam sites have remained closed year-round due to low, but unacceptable levels of PSP toxins. Although prior reports suggested the use of ozone for detoxifying clams, the authors' efforts to do so from a permanently closed area such as the one in the study (Crow Harbour), with toxins stored for long periods, proved unsuccessful. This study was undertaken by the investigators to determine whether clams from an area where natural detoxification does not occur behave in a similar manner to those from an area where detoxification occurs, and how the toxins are transformed or retained.

Toxic Algal Blooms: An International Directory of Experts in Toxic and Harmful Algal Blooms and Their Effects on Fisheries and Public Health Only available on loan from the National Sea Grant Library White, A.W. 216 pp., 1990 WHOI-D-90-001 Toxic and harmful algal bloom events are increasing in frequency, intensity and geographic distribution around the world. They now constitute a global problem for fisheries, mariculture and public health. Developing countries are especially vulnerable to these occurrences because they lack the scientific and managerial expertise and infrastructure to deal with the resulting fisheries and public health emergencies. There is a pressing need for international coordination and cooperation on toxic phytoplankton blooms and their effects. This international directory lists scientists, fisheries managers, public health officials and physicians who are experienced in dealing with toxic and harmful algal bloom episodes and their impact on fisheries and public health. The directory is intended to improve and accelerate international information exchange on toxic and harmful algal blooms and to foster international assistance with red tide emergencies, particularly in developing countries. It is hoped that it will facilitate rapid access to experts who can respond quickly to toxic algal bloom outbreaks and thus help in reducing the consequences to fisheries and public health.

Toxic Dinoflagellates and Marine Mammal Mortalities: Proceedings of an Expert Consultation Held at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on May 8-9, 1989 Only available on loan from the National Sea Grant Library Anderson, D.M. and A.W. White (eds.) Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Technical Report WHOI-89-36 (CRC89-6), 65 pp., 1989 WHOI-W-89-002 Two events in 1987-1988 involved unprecedented mortalities of humpback whales and bottlenose dolphins, species that have never been associated with typical mass strandings. The unusual characteristics of these two events were such that standard protocols for examining stranded animals were expanded to include analysis for dinoflagellate neurotoxins that have, in the past, been associated with mass kills of fish and other marine mammals. The circumstantial evidence presently available has sufficient implications with respect to marine mammal mortalities, commercial fisheries, and public health to justify future investigations into the impact of dinoflagellate toxins on higher trophic levels. A series of research and monitoring programs is suggested.

...And All the Waters Were Turned to Blood...: Red Tide in the Northeast Helpful to educators and students. White, A.W. Nor'easter, Vol. 1, No. 1, pp. 27-31, 1989 WHOI-R-89-010 For hundreds of years people in some parts of the world have known about red tides and their connection with mass kills of marine animals, contamination of shellfish with deadly toxins, and human illness and death. Toxic red tides have become a problem of global dimensions. They now occur in one form or another nearly throughout the world's oceans. This article describes the red tide phenomenon: the organisms that cause it, the effects of red tide, the research being conducted on red tide, and the need for international cooperation in addressing this important coastal problem.
Mortality of Fish Larvae from Eating Toxic Dinoflagellates or Zooplankton Containing Dinoflagellate Toxins White, A.W., O. Fukuhara, and M. Anraku In: Okaichi, T., D.M. Anderson, and T. Nemoto, (eds.) Red Tides: Biology, Environmental Science and Toxicology, pp. 395-398, 1989 WHOI-R-89-004 First-feeding red sea bream (Pagrus major) and Japanese anchovy (Engraulis japonica) larvae were fed the toxic dinoflagellate Gonyaulax excavata. Older larvae were fed zooplankton (mostly copepods) that had eaten G. excavata. Despite low toxin content of the dinoflagellates relative to field conditions, effects of the toxins were apparent. The mortality rates of first-feeding red sea bream larvae feeding on Gonyaulax was about three times that of starved controls. First-feeding Japanese anchovy larvae fed poorly on Gonyaulax, and no difference in mortality between treatments and controls was observed. Older larvae of both species showed symptoms typical of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) within a few hours after eating zooplankton that contained Gonyaulax toxins; 20 to 30% of the larvae died. Results indicate that fish larvae, like adult fish, are sensitive to paralytic shellfish toxins and suggest that blooms and red tides of G. excavata and its toxic relative cause kills of larval, as well as adult, fish.

Blooms of Toxic Algae Worldwide: Their Effects on Fish Farming and Shellfish Resources Helpful to educators and students. White, A.W. In: Proceedings of the International Conference on Impact of Toxic Algae on Mariculture, Aqua-Nor 1987 International Fish Farming Exhibition, 13-18 August, 1987, Trondheim, Norway, pp. 9-14, 1988 WHOI-R-88-005 Discolored water and its association with kills of fish and other animals has been noted since Biblical times. Ship's logs from hundreds of years ago document discolorations of the sea in many places around the world. The discolorations resulting from high concentrations of microalgae are often of a reddish hue, and hence referred to by the generic term "red tide." Certain bloom-forming algae are toxic; they produce compounds that are toxic to fish or that accumulate in shellfish causing serious illness and sometimes death to humans who eat them. Blooms and red tides of these toxic algae have had significant economic impact on fish and shellfish farming industries in much of the world. Further, the incidence of these toxic blooms appears to be on the increase around the world. This paper, from a presentation at an international conference on the impact of toxic algae on mariculture, is a summary of the major organisms responsible for toxic blooms and red tides in various parts of the world and their effects on fish and shellfish resources, with special reference to mariculture.
PSP: Poison for Fundy Shellfish Culture Helpful to educators and students. White, A.W. World Aquaculture, Vol. 19, No. 4, pp. 23-26, 1988 WHOI-R-88-021 FACT: The risk of molluscan shellfish contamination by paralytic shellfish toxins is high nearly everywhere in Canada's southern Bay of Fundy, one of the richest shellfish areas in the world. FACT: Gonyaulax excavata blooms and paralytic shellfish toxins do not impair the growing of shellfish in the Bay of Fundy because Gonyaulax is a satisfactory food organism and the toxins have little effect on the shellfish. However, the toxins have a major impact on the marketing of all filter-feeding shellfish except the sea scallop, from which only the toxin-free adductor muscle is marketed. FACT: There is no economically viable method for detoxifying or depurating paralytic shellfish toxins in molluscan shellfish, nor is there any known antidote for the toxic effects in humans. Thus the cost of inspecting shellfish for paralytic shellfish toxins must be taken into account in the cost/benefit analysis of shellfish culture operation in areas affected by the dinoflagellate Gonyaulax. This paper looks at these and other important issues relating to PSP in the Bay of Fundy and presents what is currently known about the disease.
An Endogenous Annual Clock in the Toxic Marine Dinoflagellate Gonyaulax tamarensis Anderson, D.M. and B.A. Keafer Nature, Vol. 325, No. 6105, pp. 616-617, 1987 WHOI-R-87-002 Blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate Gonyaulax tamarensis cause outbreaks of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) in coastal waters throughout the world. In this paper, the authors present the discovery of a new factor controlling germination of cysts of G. tamarensis from deep coastal waters--an endogenous annual clock that can override an otherwise favorable environment for germination. Similar annual variability in germination has not been observed for cysts of this species from shallow estuaries. The results presented in this paper represent the first conclusive demonstration of an endogenous circannual rhythm in a marine plant. They are evolutionarily and ecologically significant because an endogenous annual clock can lead to the release of motile cells into deep and relatively invariant bottom waters at those times when temperature and light at the surface are suitable for growth. In shallow waters where seasonal variability is large and extends to bottom sediments, a strategy similar to that of the seeds of terrestrial plants would be more appropriate, namely a direct coupling between germination and the external environment.

Dinoflagellate Cyst Dynamics in Coastal and Estuarine Waters Anderson, D.M. and B.A. Keafer Toxic Dinoflagellates, pp. 219-224, 1985 WHOI-R-85-018 Gonyaulax tamarensis cyst dynamics were studied in a shallow estuarine embayment and in deeper nearshore waters. In these two locations, the cysts accumulate in basins with other fine particulate materials, they are buried below the sediment surface such that the majority are found in anoxic sediments which can inhibit germination. Their total abundance is very high, and their germination is restricted to surface sediments and therefore is small relative to the number of cells in a bloom. The major differences are in the timing and duration of germination. A tight temporal coupling between excystment and bloom initiation is apparent in the estuary where cysts germinate during a one month interval coinciding with the motile cell bloom. Germination begins at a lower temperature in the deeper coastal waters, precedes the motile cell bloom by several months and lasts eight months in total. The Gulf of Maine is thus seeded by the gradual germination of cysts over many months, providing multiple opportunities for bloom development. In the estuary, bloom success hinges on favorable conditions during a short period of active germination.

The Environmental and Climatic Distribution of Dinoflagellate Cysts in Modern Marine Sediments from Regions in the North and South Atlantic Oceans and Adjacent Seas Wall, D., B. Dale, G.P. Lohmann, and W.K. Smith 1977 WHOI-R-77-012 The distribution of dinoflagellate cysts in modern marine sediments is of interest for two main reasons. First, it provides specialized marine biological information concerning the biogeography and ecology of the living dinoflagellate species which form resistant encysted stages during their life histories. Second, it represents a major source of information for palynologists who are concerned with dinoflagellate paleoecology and paleoenvironmental research. This study reports on the distribution of dinoflagellate cysts from fourteen regions in the North and South Atlantic Oceans, the Caribbean and Mediterranean Seas, and one area in the southeastern Pacific Ocean near Peru. The four main goals of the study, presented in this paper in detail, were: 1) to analyze the environmental- climatic distribution of extant cyst-based dinoflagellate species in marine sediments; 2) to attempt an ecologic-environmental classification of these taxa on the basis of this analysis; 3) to identify important factors which determine the distribution of these cysts in modern sediments; and 4) to provide a quasi- theoretical model to account for the observed distribution of cysts which will be useful in the future development of paleoecological and paleoenvironmental studies with fossil dinoflagellates (cysts).

noun \-ˌbīt\: the wound you get when a snake bites you
Full Definition of SNAKEBITE
First Known Use of SNAKEBITE
Rhymes with SNAKEBITE
noun \-ˌbīt\ (Medical Dictionary)Medical Definition of SNAKEBITE
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Wound from the bite of a snake, especially a venomous one. Nonvenomous snakes leave skin tears that may be treated like scratches. A person bitten by a venomous snake needs medical care as soon as possible. Antivenin must be specific to the type of venom, so the snake should be identified or accurately described. Different kinds of venom break down red blood cells or attack the nervous system, causing paralysis. Local tissue destruction may lead to gangrene. First aid for snakebite seeks to keep the venom from spreading to the rest of the body. The bitten limb should be kept still below heart level with a broad, firm (not tight) bandage around it above the bite. Exertion and excitement should be avoided. Cutting, suction, tourniquets, and applying ice are not advised.

"They just gave me this route. This is my first day, and I really don't know where I'm supposed to go," he says. For the next twenty minutes, as the driver pilots the vehicle through the cramped one-ways of LoDo and the congested thoroughfares of downtown, I instruct him on where to turn, where to stop and where not to stop. By the time we hit 17th Street, we've got a load of human cargo; without fail, the driver apologizes to everyone who boards, explaining the plight of the uninitiated driver thrust onto the streets of Denver with only the waving hands of curbside riders and the less-than-expert advice of a passenger to guide him.
I've come to expect such bumps in the road when traveling along it in a city bus, especially on Route 10, which originates in northwest Denver's Rockmont Loop and winds a serpentine path across the city, through the University Hospital complex and the upscale Mayfair neighborhood, and into the western fringes of Aurora. In the two years that I've been riding this run, I've been under the command of plenty of polite and competent drivers. But I've also observed drivers smoking and sleeping on board, cussing at customers and honking at cars. I've been repeatedly waved through without paying a fare (in one instance because the driver's CD player was positioned upon the fare console), hit on by drivers while riding alone (one man told me repeatedly that my perfume was "driving him wild" and that he "didn't know what to do about it") and grown accustomed to not thinking twice when a new person appears behind the wheel. I've waited in freezing-cold rain for buses that never came, run after others that never stopped, and looked the other way when one operator -- who liked wearing headphones and singing heavy-metal songs while driving -- dinged a utility truck and moved on without phoning in the incident to anyone.
It has, at times, been a wild ride -- one that's often led me to wonder just what, exactly, could be going on in the downtown offices of the Regional Transportation District. How could a system governed by a need for exactitude -- necessitated by the implied guarantee that a bus will arrive at one destination at a precise time, to the minute, each day -- allow such apparently haphazard methods on such a well-traveled route?
It's simple, says Bill Jones of the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1001, which represents 2,000 RTD employees. The answer lies in a 1989 decision by the Colorado Legislature that required RTD to privatize 20 percent of its route service. In 2001, the number was upped to 35 percent, even though local providers hadn't been leaping at the opportunity to cart Denver's carless culture about town. RTD accepted bids from two companies that would ultimately be released from their contracts: After three months of shoddy service, the district fired Tennessee-based TCT Transit Service and put an Illinois company, ATC/Vancom, in the driver's seat. But in January, that company skipped out on a five-year, $80.1 million deal with RTD, leaving it to divide its routes between Ohio's First Transit and Kansas-based Laidlaw. Now handling roughly two-thirds of the privatized chunk, First Transit has shown some signs of stress: In July, three of its employees were caught stealing between $300 and $30,000 in untallied bus fares ("Fare and Foul," July 11). And a driver on a Laidlaw bus is facing sex-assault charges after an alleged attack on a fourteen-year-old rider over the weekend.
Despite these glitches, privatization has proved to be cost-effective, at least in the accounting ledgers. According to a recent cost-analysis report prepared by RTD, privatization has saved the district more than $40 million since 1991, largely because without it, the transit company would have been required to expand its own infrastructure for bus storage and spend more on upgrading its fleet operations.
But critics of the system say that gains have been made at the expense of both service and safety.
Like most of the riders on Route 10, which is normally operated by First Transit, I had no clue that I wasn't hitching a ride with RTD. Most buses bear the same trademark "Welcome to RTD" greeting on their sidewalls. The only things that really distinguishes RTD vehicles from contracted ones are the patches found on drivers' uniforms and the ID cards that hang from their necks. But the ATU argues that the differences run much deeper. As the union's attorney, Jones is fond of saying that he wishes the private companies would paint their coaches fluorescent orange, to distinguish them from those navigated and maintained by RTD operators. He believes his union's drivers do a more consistent job.

New Kansas law targets repeat drunken drivers
Published on -6/13/2012, 1:22 PM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- Suspected drunken drivers who refuse to take blood and breath tests will face mandatory jail time under a state law that takes effect July 1.
First-time offenders are exempted from the law, which is designed to react to motorists who refuse the tests, often leaving prosecutors with little evidence for convictions, The Kansas City Star reported (http://bit.ly/KTqMFR).
"These people pose a threat," said Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe, who pushed for the law. "We need to hold them accountable."
Currently in Kansas, refusing the tests can cause drivers to have their licenses suspended. That doesn't deter many chronic offenders who drive with or without a license, Howe said.
The new law carries the same penalties as a DUI conviction -- up to a year in jail for those with multiple convictions -- and takes away the incentive to refuse the tests, Howe said.
But critics say it will cost the state hundreds of thousands of dollars in increased court and jail costs and creates the potential for prolonged court challenges.
"There's going to be a nonstop parade of litigation while this law is in effect," said criminal defense lawyer Jay Norton.
The law will make criminals of people who only are suspected of driving under the influence, he said, and it takes away their rights against self-incrimination, to remain silent or to be free from warrantless searches.
"It doesn't do anything to curb drunk driving or alcohol-related crashes," Norton said. "It only makes it easier to convict people they suspect."
The constitutional questions have been answered in other states with similar laws, said Bill Lemons, traffic safety resource prosecutor for the Minnesota County Attorneys Association.
Since Minnesota implemented a refusal law in 1988 and expanded it to include first-time offenders in 1993, the state has seen a dramatic reduction in test refusals after DUI stops, he said.
Frank Harris, state legislative affairs manager for Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, called the new Kansas law a "step in the right direction."
"Refusal is a problem across the country," he said. "It allows offenders to elude justice."

Six Alaskan Cities in Six Days
Posted by jlwile on September 17, 2012
I just got back from speaking with homeschoolers in six different Alaskan cities (Fairbanks, Kenai, Kodiak, Wasilla, Anchorage, and Juneau). In each city, I gave the same two talks: Homeschooling: Discovering How and Why It Works and Life is Amazing. I gave the first talk in the morning, and it was really for parents. However, there were some students in the morning sessions, and for the most part, they seemed to stay awake. The second talk was in the afternoon, and it was really for the students, but there were a lot of parents as well. Everyone enjoyed it, because I showed some amazing animations and videos (you can find links to them in the PDF linked above) and discussed in detail the science behind what the videos were showing.Lots of great things happened during my time in Alaska, but two of them really stand out in my mind. In the morning talks, I showed several studies that indicate homeschooled students excel, both academically and socially. After I showed these data, I tried to offer some explanations as to why homeschoolers excel. You can see those reasons in the PDF file linked above. However, I also asked the audience to come up with their own ideas as to why homeschoolers tend to excel. I got many excellent replies, but I want to highlight one of them.
A homeschooling father mentioned a study that was done in 1957 by psychologist Dr. Harold McCurdy. What the father said about the study intrigued me, so I looked it up. The author investigated the lives of twenty geniuses like John Stuart Mill, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, and Blaise Pascal. He wanted to see if he could find commonalities in their lives that might have aided their intellectual development. Who knows how effective such a study is, but I found his conclusions to be very interesting. Here is what he said:1
In summary, the present survey of biographical information on a sample of twenty men of genius suggests that the typical development pattern includes as important aspects: (1) a high degree of attention focused upon the child by parents and other adults, expressed in intensive educational measures and, usually, abundant love; (2) isolation from other children, especially outside the family; and (3) a rich efflorescence of phantasy, as a reaction to the two preceding conditions.
By "phantasy," the good doctor just means "imaginative play."
Now as I said, I am not sure how effective such a study really is, so I don't take these results to be conclusive by any means. However, what he describes sounds an awful lot like a homeschool! Homeschooled children are given a high degree of attention from their loving parents, often in the form of intensive educational endeavors. While not completely isolated from children outside the family, homeschooled students certainly have less contact with their peers than do non-homeschooled students. Finally, most homeschoolers I know severely limit the amount of television that their children can watch, which encourages imaginative play. In the end, then, it seems that homeschooling naturally provides a lot of what Dr. McCurdy thinks is necessary for the development of genius.
There is a flip side to the good doctor's conclusion as well. He states it himself:
It might be remarked that the mass education of our public school system is, in its way, a vast experiment on the effect of reducing all three of the above factors to minimal values, and should, accordingly, tend to suppress the occurrence of genius.
If nothing else, I think the good doctor's comments are worth pondering.
The other thing that stands out in my mind was really the highlight of the trip for me. It involved seeing a young man that I met during my previous speaking tour in Alaska. His name is Joshua Russell, and you can see him with me in the picture at the top of this article. I remembered him from my previous trip, because I learned that he and his mother flew in from Barrow, Alaska to hear me. The trip cost them each $660! I was rather shocked that anyone would spend that much money to hear me blather on for a few hours.
Well, when we met up this time, it was in Anchorage. It didn't cost his family anything significant, because they had since moved close to Anchorage. He and his parents took me out to dinner, and I got to learn all about what this incredible young man had been doing since we last met. He's been rather busy. He has taken six of my science courses as well as a fantastic marine biology course written by Sherri Seligson. But wait…there's more! He decided to participate in a summer college program that allowed him to study both biology and trigonometry at a higher level. He performed so well in those courses that he was awarded a full-ride scholarship to any school in the University of Alaska system! At this point, he plans to get his degree in marine biology (well done, Sherri!).
If that's not amazing enough, he gave me an essay that he had to write for a university-level English class he is currently taking. It was entitled "Inspiration," and at the risk of "tooting my own horn," I just have to quote from it:
When I was in Middle School, I must admit that I hated science. However, in my second year of homeschooling, I discovered Dr. Wile's curriculum. After one year of using his curriculum, I became neutral on the subject…By the next year, science was my favorite subject…This change might have come around eventually, but I believe that Dr. Wile greatly expedited this process with his curriculum…So, as you can see, Dr. Jay Wile has had a large impact on my life…He inspired me to seek a college degree, provided a way for me to pay for said degree, and he has made my high school science education pleasurable!
I have to say that many times, I get so bogged down in the day-to-day business of writing, arguing with evolutionists, and giving talks that I lose sight of why I am doing all this in the first place. This past week, Joshua vividly reminded me. Thank you, Joshua, and congratulations!

Wow, thanks for the encouraging words, Jay! But I think you get the kudos for initially inspiring this young man. What great accomplishments he has made!
And it is encouraging to see more and more evidence to support an educational strategy that feeds the passions and God-given skills of the student.Maybe I'll get up to Alaska one day to meet him!
Alaska! Sounds exotic!
Interesting study… Most people forget that "homeschool" was the norm before public school. And even those one-room school houses were just a few families (much like we do for our homeschool support group).
I'm hoping my daughter turns around and enjoys science a little more after doing your General Science book. And hopefully, I will too My daughter is dyslexic, and all that writing is very mentally taxing for her. I often scribe for her, and we're "lab partners." I am always pleasantly surprised when she gets the point of an experiment. She doesn't always get it, so I ask leading questions to see if I can get her to see the point without me just flat out telling her. We're just about to finish up Module 3 but a sick child needed medical attention this morning, so hopefully by the end of this week. I love homeschooling my kids, and it is great materials like yours that make it possible.
I am not married yet but am in the process of becoming engaged. My girlfriend and I have talked about the different modes of education for our future children. She has seen the education system her whole life as her father is a high school administrator. They have moved numerous times and thus have seen a variety of educational styles and methods. We have both decided that it would be best for our children to be home schooled. The reasons for a decision are numerous, such as this was the norm for history, better personalized studies to benefit the child, overseeing the material to ensure quality, control over curriculum, and the list goes on.
But I would like to thank you, Dr. Wile, for quelling any fears that I might have about home schooling my future children. I know the time is not yet here, but it is approaching, and it is the reading of blog posts such as this one that give me confidence in the decision that has been made.
This is awesome! and what a wake-up call to those homeschoolers who insist on "doing" public school in their living rooms!!!!
My oldest son is friends with Josh and I have to say that he is a very inspirational teen who is impacting several others in the area through his example.
Sure wish our family could have made one of the talks when you were here, but illness kept us away. My teen is finally starting to have more vision for his life beyond high school (engineering for him), but it seemed like that would never happen. Science and math used to be his most dreaded subjects and now they are his favorites.
Dr. Wile, this post was just passed along to me. Josh Russell is my stepbrother's son and a fantastic young man. We also used your Apologia Science curriculum to teach our three children. Great grounding in science and an excellent tool for teaching critical thinking. Thank you for providing such thorough teaching material!

There are numerous Geiszlers who settled in North Dakota and Oregon that are very connected, at least in terms of genealogy. In the Geiszlers of America book, there are many listings of the ND and OR descendants but few from Ohio. Ugh. What makes matters worse is the name Geißler has so many different spellings throughout America (GEISS, GEISEL, GEISEN, GEISINGER and GEISSLER to name a few).
I came across Geiszler Coat of Arms / Geiszler Family Crest website. I don't really know if my family actually has a Family Crest. It's rumored they were apart of aristocracy when the former country of Prussia crumbled and fled. It's possible, but I can't figure it out.
What I did find on this website was more information about the fact that Geißler was a Scottish and German name. It referred to the occupation of goat-herding and a location. Plus, there's a famous Geißler...
Heinrich GEISSLER (1814-79) the German inventor, born in Saxony. He became a glass-blower and settled in Bonn in 1854. The GEISSLER tube, by which the passage of electricity through rarefied gases can be seen, and the GEISSLER mercury pump are among his inventions.
Pretty cool. Can't prove I'm related to him but I do have a Heinrich Geißler in my family line. So today, I sit wishing that my Geiszlers had more documentation about who they were.

My kitchen successes can be counted on my two hands with a couple of digits to spare, but among them is the green bean casserole IŌĆÖve prepared for many, many years. There may be a glorious repast including traditional and exotic dishes, but if I donŌĆÖt serve that casserole at Thanksgiving and Christmas, it causes bad feelings among some members of my family.
My father never looked or acted like a daredevil, but in his younger life, he definitely was. Barely reaching the 5ŌĆÖ 2ŌĆØ mark on the height chart, and wearing a size 5.5 shoe, he barely met the ArmyŌĆÖs size requirements.

Susan to the Rescue: Scrod with Lemon-Garlic Bread Crumbs Video
Susan shows how to dress up a lemon for fresh seedless juice
Hi. This is Susan Westmoreland in the Good Housekeeping kitchen. Tonight we're gonna make a really simple scrod with garlic lemon crumbs, really delicious. It's just fresh bread, some lemon and some garlic. And you know when you're serving lemon at the table people are always squirting it and sometimes seeds spatter. So we've got a really simple way to do this. When you're squeezing up a counter, you might wanna just use that but for the table, you don't really wanna bring your juicer. So you can cut the lemon in half just like this and you could see this whole bunch of seeds right in there ready to be squirted at your favorite person across the table, and you just wrap it in a piece of cheesecloth and then if you wanna be really fancy you can use a piece of ribbon. If you don't you can use a twist tie from your plastic bag collection and just do this and then, voila, you get great juice and all the seeds stay back in the cheesecloth, really simple and a perfect complement, no oil, simple garnish for the baked, crumbed scrod. Hope you have a great dinner. This is Susan Westmoreland helping you take back dinner time.

Cammy?s Covers ? From Fairest to Willow
Cameron Hatheway writes for Bleeding Cool
Fairest #10 by Adam Hughes
Oh deer! So if you?re a regular reader of this column, you?ll know of my infatuation with these Adam Hughes Fairest covers. They?re always featuring a beautiful scantily clad woman, which would be the homerun for a lot of people, but it?s what?s surrounding the woman that always makes it a grand slam for me. The giant cat with the glowing eye, the deer with a nice rack, the majestic spackle that?s present all over. This cover is just as gorgeous as the ones before it, and Hughes makes look like child?s play. I?m waiting in anticipation for the eventual Fairest: The Adam Hughes Covers book to go along with my James Jean edition.
Hawkeye #5 by David Aja
So while I didn?t highlight the cover to Hawkeye #4, the last issue consisted of just the tape in tons of empty space, with some audio waveform along the bottom. It was nice, but didn?t really thrill me. This issue however, has my undivided attention. First of all, what kind of bully beats up a VHS tape?! Haven?t VHS tapes been embarrassed enough over the past decade, with the rise of DVDs and BluRays?? Now that I think about it though, who has something to gain if the VHS tape is no longer around? That?s right, our prime suspect Betamax has everything to gain! It?s relevant again! Anyway, lovely cover by Aja, and now I know what Kill Bill looked like on VHS.
Shadowman #2 (Variant) by Dave Johnson
While I feel that I?ve seen this kind of cover by Johnson before (possibly one of the PunisherMAX ones), it?s still fresh nonetheless. The black and white with a touch of pale green color scheme is what my eyes are initially drawn to, then I slowly become creeped out a bit by the shadow eyes and twisted mouth. I?ve never read Shadowman, but just looking at this guy sends me the message that I do not want our paths crossing. So much blood! So many eyes! Very well executed cover.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow ? Wonderland #2 by David Mack
This is my favorite cover of the week, hands down! Now were I Alyson Hannigan, I?d be honored to be a part of a series like Buffy, because if it continues on in the comics medium, every artist would illustrate me forever young. That, my friends, is immortality thanks to artist extraordinaires like David Mack. I?ll admit, I was getting lost in Willow?s eyes, but I was also marveling at the intricate snake skeleton weaving throughout the cover. Every rib and vertebrae accounted for. Throw in some pieces of scribbled parchment here and there, and this cover is just plain magical to look at!

• Yaakov Amitai, Israel's new ambassador to Egypt, arrived in Cairo three months after the embassy was strormed. [AP/WP]

Very good mod with one but very funny weapon: THE HATCH. You can throw it, this way of attack is powerful and practical. You'll love kill the new soldiers enemies with this! (they use Crossbows and a shotgun, performing the double shoot OMFG!).The mapping also is very good, with many different locations and new enemies in the deppending where you go (Example: new xenians in XEN). And theres lovely humoristic sequences.
The same deffect to Todesangst 1: too short!
Rating: 4/5
Good: Cool name; great idea that is well executed; nice new content.
Bad: Nothing amazingly spectacular; new models are slightly modified originals.Review:
Another good mod. I guess everything from Germany is good. Good cars, good engineering, good HL mods…yeah. This is a good mod. The story is nice, all the items are placed logically throughout the maps and as a bonus, and there are two episodes! The only things I didn't about is that the campaigns were somewhat short and there weren't many things too spectacular about it. But anyway, here's the story: you are Gordon Freeman, and after coming back from Xen, you are practically a hero.However, your boss, Dr. Jack Newell, an expert chaos theory mathematician and Director of Black Mesa R&D, thinks otherwise. He doesn't like you for all that you've become. In other words, he's jealous. So you, the intrepid Gordon Freeman, must stop Newell from unleashing the Xen beasties into the wild of Earth. Good story, eh?
I finished it, and it rocks!!!
The Syndicated Review on this Todesangst 2 post is the same review that's on the Todesangst 1 post.
Rare these days is the Half-Life pack with a reasonable and interesting plot. But Todesangst 2: der echte Feind (T2DEF) continues the strong plot and gameplay from the excellent Todesangst, and in most ways surpasses the original.
The scope of T2DEF in comparison to the original is much greater. While Todesangst was essentially a map pack for Half-Life, T2DEF is a full-blown modification, including new weapons, enemies, music, customized voice acting, and a lot of new code that allows for some pretty neat tricks (such as mp3 support, fog, and some cool camera systems that you will get a chance to use). This time instead of making a map pack alone, Daryn "Peppyfool" Waite has both expanded his capabilities and added a supporting team to help build T2DEF into the full mod that it is. The hard work of the whole team paid off: Todesangst 2 is a lot of fun to play, and is certainly one of the very best Half-Life packs to come out recently.
First, if you haven't played the original Todesangst, go download it right now and play it before you even think about playing this pack. OK, well it's not totally necessary, but it will sure help you in understanding some aspects of the plot, since T2DEF is a well-conceived and interesting continuation of the original.

UPDATE: Chris Brown has taken to Twitter to deny reports that his girlfriend is expecting. "And so we are clear @Karrueche is not pregnant!!! Lol," he tweeted.
Chris Brown the guy whose name is synonymous with 'beat the crap out of Rihanna' is going to be a daddy.
MediaTakeOut.com reports that the R&B star is expecting his first child with girlfriend Karrueche Tran, and they say they've got the proof – a photo of Tran sporting a bulging baby belly (small enough that it could be food-bloat, but still, pretty convincing).
The couple are yet to confirm or deny the news.
