Yesterday, President Obama announced a new focus on community colleges in a speech delivered at Macomb Community College in Michigan. Obama pledged $12 billion to improve facilities, increase enrollment, and boost graduation rates at the nation's community colleges, a shift in education policy from the traditional focus on K-12 education and public universities. In addition to the proposed federal funding increase, Obama's speech also called for community colleges to graduate five million more students by the year 2020.
Community colleges have already seen increased enrollments and publicity in recent years. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, community colleges saw the greatest enrollment boom since the 1960s during the first half of this decade. The current economic downturn has prompted even more first-time college students and unemployed adults to enroll at community colleges this academic year. Community college officials and the Obama administration hope that the increased attention paid to community colleges will prompt more students to consider enrolling, either as a path to a career training degree or certificate, or in order to transfer to four-year colleges.
Beyond Presidential endorsement, there are many other incentives to pursue a degree at a community college. Tuition is typically much lower at two-year schools than at private colleges or state colleges, and courses are often offered with the scheduling needs of working adult students in mind. Additionally, numerous scholarship opportunities exist specifically for students pursuing two-year degree programs. Community college students can do a free college scholarship search to learn more about funding opportunities available.

Service-minded students have a variety of ways to fund their college education through community service scholarships and other awards. Now, students interested in attending Dickinson College in Pennsylvania can participate in a fellowship program that awards $10,000 towards tuition for each year of full-time public service completed.
The Dickinson College Public Service Fellowships are awarded to high school seniors who are interested in deferring enrollment in college to first work in public service in some capacity. If accepted, students can defer enrollment for up to four years, and receive up to $40,000 in scholarship money through this program. Qualifying public service work can be independent or done through a national service organization, such as AmeriCorps, and can be paid or unpaid. Projects must be devoted to some aspect of improving the human condition or the natural environment.
While these scholarship awards are only offered through one college at present, at least one other school is seeking to encourage students to become engaged in public service before they start actively pursuing their college degrees. According to The Christian Science Monitor, Princeton University has also launched a program to pay for admitted students to first engage in a year-long service project abroad before beginning classes.
Several colleges have recently announced campus-based scholarships for community service. Many other schools also match AmeriCorps tuition awards, and over 1,100 private colleges have also pledged to assist veterans with tuition to acknowledge their service to the country. If you are a high school student hoping to get involved in a large-scale service project, there's more incentive than ever as colleges and scholarship providers continue expanding financial aid awards for locally and globally engaged individuals.

After New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo brought to light questionable practices some college financial aid offices engaged in when creating preferred lender lists for private loans, the fallout was felt nationwide. While colleges and lenders have reformed their practices in the face of new regulations, lawsuits against colleges and lenders are still being addressed.
Yesterday, Emerson College in Boston, one of the schools accused of receiving kickbacks in exchange for making it difficult for student borrowers to take out private loans from lenders not featured on their preferred lender list, settled with the attorneys general bringing the case, and agreed to pay a total of $780,000 to students who had been forced into student loans with less favorable rates. Payments will range from $25 to $833 and will cover the extra interest students are paying on their loans, compared to loans they could have obtained.
These cases serve as a reminder to weigh your options carefully before agreeing to borrow a student loan. Apply for federal financial aid and do a scholarship search first, then compare multiple lenders to be sure you are getting the best rate. Even in the face of a lingering credit crisis and a weak economy, not to mention President Obama's plan to change the face of the student lending industry, it still pays to do your research before taking out a loan.

Princeton Review released its annual college rankings yesterday, based on a survey of 122,000 students at colleges nationwide. The purpose of the list is to help students choose colleges based on what current undergraduate students at each school say, and rankings include such categories as best and worst dorm food, most politically engaged students, and most GLBT-friendly schools.
The most publicized of these rankings is the list of top party schools, with Pennsylvania State University unseating the University of Florida as number one this year. The party schools ranking is often seen as closely related to a combination of other rankings, which involve the availability of alcohol, the amount of time students spend studying and the presence of Greek life on campus. Many students at schools that top the party school list take pride in this designation, while university officials often see it as a cause for concern.
Other rankings may be more useful to many students and parents, especially the list of schools whose students are most satisfied with their financial aid packages. Swarthmore College, Stanford University, and Harvard University comprise the top three spots in the "Great Financial Aid" ranking, with a total of 13 colleges receiving an additional distinction from Princeton Review for receiving the highest possible rating for financial aid in their survey.
However, the self-reported nature of the information and relatively small number of students answering the surveys may not paint a wholly accurate picture of campus life, so incorporating other resources into your college search is important. This and other tools can help you find colleges to investigate further, but don't rule out a school entirely just because it is or is not on one of these lists.

While it may be grabbing most of the headlines, the federal "Cash for Clunkers" program is not the only government grant program to run out of money well ahead of schedule this year. The state funding allocated to Illinois Monetary Awards Program (MAP) grants, college financial aid awards for needy students, was slashed during state budget cuts this year. As a result, awards have been cut in half for all students and have been denied outright to over 130,000 students who applied after May 15, a significantly earlier cutoff date than previous years.
Typically, community colleges, who typically apply for financial aid later in the year and often have access to fewer financial resources, are likely to be the hardest hit.
Illinois isn't the only state forced to make cuts to its college grant programs. California and Ohio are among others that have recently gained attention for cutting aid to college students. If you live in a state that's been forced to reduce student financial aid, you still have options to pay for college. Before looking into student loans or considering a semester off, conduct a free college scholarship search. Scholarships, including state and local scholarships, are still out there despite the recession.

A recent college graduate who has failed to find a job since April has sued her alma mater. The student, Trina Thompson, filed suit against Monroe College, a career-oriented college in New York, asking to be reimbursed the full cost of her tuition, which was $70,000.
Thompson's suit claims that the Monroe College career center failed to do enough to help her find a job after graduation. As a result, Thompson is struggling to make ends meet and, according to the New York Post, facing the prospect of homelessness as her student loans are about to come due. While Thompson has been regularly submitting job applications and making use of resources such as job listings available through her college's career center, this has not been enough to find work. So she is suing Monroe College for failing to provide her with the leads and career advice she says she was promised.
While the merit of this particular lawsuit remains to be determined, it does raise questions about what students should expect from college, as well as what services colleges should provide and can promise to their students. Especially right now, when jobs are scarce and competition is fierce, current students and recent graduates are dealing with greater stress and desperation as they try to navigate the job market. Meanwhile, career centers have fewer contacts and resources to work with, as fewer places are actively recruiting or even hiring recent college graduates. As a result, many college career counselors are finding themselves nearly overwhelmed, as more students need to rely on more services for longer to try to find post-graduate employment.
Finally, this lawsuit serves as a reminder for college-bound students of more good questions to ask during their college search: What are the job placement rates for the school and the department, and what career services are offered to help alumni find work? Considering these things while choosing a college may make all the difference when it comes time to find a job after graduation.
August 7, 2009
Following the lead of U.S. News, several other publications have entered the college rankings game in recent years. Yesterday, Forbes revealed its second annual list of America's best colleges. Ranking first was the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, NY, followed by Princeton University. While Princeton typically does well in college rankings, the appearance of West Point in first place is something of a surprise in the college rankings world. Forbes touts its rankings as being focused on a college's ability to meet students' needs, a factor that includes post-graduate student loan debt (20 percent of the ranking), and the U.S. Military Academy is tuition-free.
As is the case with other college rankings, these should be taken with a grain of salt. Forbes' rankings also draw heavily on data from Ratemyprofessors.com (making up 25 percent of each school's score), a website whose primary metrics for rating professors include "hotness" and "easiness." Similarly, a portion of the Forbes ranking is influenced by the number of graduates appearing in publications like Who's Who in America (12.5 percent), whose significance and methodology have been questioned repeatedly, at least once within the pages of Forbes itself.
Much of the information included in the Forbes rankings is useful, though, such as graduates' average salaries, the likelihood of graduating in four years, and graduates' average student loan debt load. However, when checking out these or other rankings, be aware that the criteria used by publications or the sources they use to determine their rankings may be irrelevant to you and your needs. Think carefully about which factors are important to you when choosing a college and base your choices on those. There are many free tools to help you in your college search, so it's a wise idea to look beyond top colleges lists when making your decision of where to apply.

Rising unemployment rates and other symptoms of the ongoing recession continue to drive more people to attend college and look for ways to pay their bills, causing an uptick in state and federal financial aid applications. However, states are also hurting for money to meet financial aid requests and other budget demands. According to the Associated Press, 12 states have made significant cuts to state grant programs so far this year, with additional cuts likely. At least anecdotally, these cuts are already leading to more reliance on student loans, especially among groups that, according to a brief published this week by the College Board, may already be finding themselves overburdened with debt.
This week, the College Board released some new numbers on student debt loads and borrowing habits, culled from the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study, data released every four years by the Department of Education. Students at for-profit colleges are the most likely to borrow (96 to 98 percent graduate with some amount of loan debt), have the largest average debt loads at graduation, and are also some of the poorest college students (students at for-profit schools received 19 percent of the Federal Pell Grants disbursed in 2007-2008 despite making up only 7 percent of the college-going population). With additional sources of need-based aid drying up, these students may find themselves even more burdened with debt.
Students at other types of schools have also had to do more borrowing in recent years, according to the study. A full 59 percent of college students graduate with some amount of student loan debt, including 66 percent of bachelor's degree recipients. While most students took on manageable amounts of debt, 10 percent of students at four-year public schools, 22 percent of students at four-year private colleges, and 25 percent at four-year for-profit colleges borrowed more than $40,000 to attend college.
The average loan debt of undergraduate students in 2007-2008 was $15,123 (this is all students, not graduates), up 11 percent from the last time the survey was conducted. While increases in loan burdens were most modest at four-year state and non-profit colleges, reductions in state grant programs that are often earmarked for students at state colleges or nonprofit private colleges could send these numbers climbing.
You may want to consider statistics on student debt as a factor in your college search, but keep in mind that there are alternatives to borrowing. Scholarship opportunities exist for students at every type of college pursuing many different types of degree programs.

The stress and financial hardships of textbook buying may soon be a thing of the past, as a vast array of textbook rental options are expected to debut or expand this year. According to a recent article in The New York Times, students will have increasing options for renting, instead of purchasing, the required books for many common courses. Rental prices are usually substantially discounted from the retail value of the book and students who rent textbooks will not have to worry about whether or not the bookstore will buy back their text at the end of the semester.
A number of colleges and universities have unveiled on-campus textbook rental programs in recent years, making the texts for popular introductory courses available for a small fee. More bookstores have begun to get in on this, with Barnes and Noble announcing a pilot program this year that will allow students at a few colleges to rent textbooks from their campus bookstores. These programs allow students to rent textbooks as easily as they can buy them from the campus store, though they're still only available at a handful of colleges and for a handful of textbooks.
Several websites have emerged in the last couple years offering online textbook rental services to students anywhere in the country. These sites often have a wider array of books available for rental, though after shipping costs are figured in, their discounts may not necessarily be as deep as those offered by some bookstore-based rental programs. Similar to buying textbooks online, online rentals also require some forethought and don't work well with last-minute schedule changes. Students have to order their books early enough to have them in hand by the time they begin receiving reading assignments.
Addressing this need for immediately available content is one publishing house that recently announced plans to enter the textbook rental market. One company, Cengage Learning, plans to rent a number of its most popular titles to students and make the first couple chapters of each book available online to customers who have rented a physical text. This reduces the stress of waiting for the book to arrive.
Taking advantage of textbook rental programs, as well as other options like used books and free online books, can help you stretch your college savings and scholarship awards further.

Back to school season is also college rankings season, and in addition to well-known lists like those published by U.S. News and Princeton Review, several other organizations publish their own college rankings based on often-overlooked criteria. One such list was released this week by G.I. Jobs Magazine, naming the top military-friendly schools in the United States. To make the list, a school must be in the top 15 percent of colleges, universities, and trade schools in the nation when it comes to recruiting and serving military veterans.
This information is timely for many veterans who may be starting their college search after the new Post-9/11 G.I. Bill took effect at the beginning of this month. Expanded benefits will help more veterans pay for school at more institutions, with funding available for up to the full amount of tuition and fees at the most expensive state college in each state, as well as housing and book allowances. However veteran students, like other adult students, often need additional support to succeed in college, both where their coursework and their financial aid are concerned.
Rather than just including four-year universities, the military-friendly schools list also features community colleges and trade schools, institutions that attract veterans and other returning students, and that are expected to play an instrumental role in President Obama's push to increase the number of Americans attending college.
Based on survey responses and published information, G.I. Jobs ranked schools on their committment to recruiting veterans, providing programs for military students, and maintaining overall academic excellence. The complete list, as well as survey questions and information on methodology can be found on the G.I. Jobs Guide to Military Friendly Schools website.

Industry funds must serve members only
PUBLISHED: 21 Nov 2012 00:08:38 | UPDATED: 21 Nov 2012 07:48:55PUBLISHED: 21 Nov 2012 PRINT EDITION: 21 Nov 2012The Australian Financial Review
Attempts by building unions to use superannuation industry fund Cbus to further its campaign against construction and development giant Grocon, demonstrate yet again why union control of industry funds, through the default fund option in awards, must cease.
Industry superannuation funds are charged with acting on behalf of their members. The managers and trustees of the fund are not there to further the interests of any union, and emphatically are not meant to meddle in industrial disputes.
In particular, they should not help a union such as the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union. Leigh Jones, head of the government's own Fair Work Building & Construction agency, a watered down version of the respected Australian Building and Construction Commission, has described the union as steeped in a "culture of coercion".
However the CFMEU and the Electrical Trades Union have demanded that Cbus's chairman, Victoria's former Labor premier Steve Bracks, and its chief executive, David Atkin, front a meeting to explain the fund's connection to Grocon. But what is an organisation charged with looking after the retirement incomes of working Australians, and managing $18 billion worth of capital, doing meeting with the leaders of an organisation slated as having a culture of coercion?
It is testament to the nature of Australian industrial relations debate that defenders of the system would try to depict this as some sort of trivial or not very serious issue. But the demand raises serious questions about the governance of industry superannuation funds that this newspaper has raised before.
The CFMEU demand has nothing to do with investments benefiting its members and everything to do with trying to use the super fund to bring further pressure to bear on Grocon as part of their long running and bitter industrial dispute.
In August the union illegally blockaded Grocon sites in the Melbourne CBD, despite having previously signed a new enterprise agreement, over the issue of being allowed to appoint workplace safety officers at sites where they have no members. Grocon has since sued the union over its actions, claiming $10.5 million worth of damages.
CBus must ignore the demands of the CFMEU and industry funds should manage funds on behalf of their members and their members only.

The interest in how the genome (DNA) of any species is organized and expressed as traits in an animal has led to a new subdiscipline of genetics, called genomics. Available and rapidly improving technologies have allowed the examination of the genome of an organism as a whole, rather than one or a few genes at a time. Thus, the interest in genome research has focused on sequencing genomes of livestock and poultry to understand how various genes function and interact (functional genomics).
A spinoff from this knowledge is gene transfer (transgenesis), which has the potential to create new or altered strains of agriculturally important animals. These transgenic animals will have improved disease resistance, better growth rate and yield, improved reproduction, and altered cell and tissue characteristics for biomedical research and manufacturing. The program attempts to identify DNA sequences or quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with disease resistance or susceptibility and production traits in livestock and poultry species. These markers will be useful in selection strategies in most, if not all, livestock and poultry species.
The potential for agricultural genomics was officially recognized in the 1990 Farm Bill, which authorized a USDA National Genetics Resources Program. As a result, two new programs were proposed and established: a National Animal Genome Research Program (NAGRP) to be led by NIFA and a National Animal Germplasm Program to be led by ARS.
To help coordinate the U.S. genome mapping efforts in cattle, sheep, swine, and poultry species, the National Research Support Project (NRSP-8) was initiated in 1993. Recently, horses and aquaculture (fish and other water animal) species were added. This project facilitates greater communication among various interest groups through the Species Genome Committees. These committees foster exchange of materials, maintain genomics maps (both physical and genetic), establish databases for sharing and communicating information, and provide leadership in establishing research priorities at a national level.
Key partners in these efforts include Auburn, Texas A&M, Kentucky, Michigan State, Utah State, and Iowa State universities. The Iowa State University team leads database coordination efforts. NRSP-8 is an umbrella project to support and complement the activities of several multistate research projects. These projects primarily focus on species-specific objectives and depend on the resource and infrastructure support of NRSP-8. Examples of these multistate projects are:
This program will support high-throughput sequencing of the bovine genome. The goal is to contribute to a working draft sequence of (approximately six-fold sequence coverage) of 90 percent of the bovine genome. The outcome of draft sequencing projects is expected to include generation of high-quality sequence data, organization of the sequence reads into contiguous sequences (contigs), and deposition of all information into a publicly accessible, preexisting database. Additional information is available through:
Among the domestic food animals as well as the model non-human organisms, the chicken is the first to be selected for genome sequencing. NIFA-supported scientists at Michigan State and Texas A&M universities are assisting the genome sequencing group in the Washington University Genome Center in chicken genome mapping and sequencing efforts. This project has enjoyed interagency cooperation between the USDA and NIH, which provided much of the funding support for this effort. For details, see the Chicken Genome Sequencing White Paper.
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) announces that the first draft of the chicken genome sequence has been deposited into free public databases for use by biomedical and agricultural researchers around the globe.
Advances in pig gene identification, mapping, and functional analysis have made rapid progress through the Pig Genome Coordination Program, funded through the NAGRP. For details, see the Pig Genome Sequencing White Paper.

Nearly 18 million people reside in the Chesapeake Bay region, with more moving to the area each year. Growing disputes over land use have conservationists working hard to protect the robust natural resources that can be found within the Bay region. A significant part of these efforts include developing and improving public access points as means for people to experience, explore and develop connections to the land, water and wildlife.
Nestled in between Accokeek Creek and Potomac Creek, Crow's Nest Natural Area Preserve in Stafford, Virginia serves as one of the state's highest land conservation priorities in the past 10 years. "This is a priority site because it's such a large intact ecosystem. You have thousands of acres of mature hardwood forest on the coastal plain in Virginia," explained Michael Lott, Crow's Nest Manager and Northern Region Steward for the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR).
In addition to around 2,200 acres of mature hardwood forest, the site boasts 750 acres of nearly pristine wetlands and more than 10 miles of hiking trails, and it acts as a safe haven for wildlife and countless viewing opportunities for critters such as migratory waterfowl, white-tailed deer, river otters and beavers.
The preserve and those who manage it have faced many obstacles over the past few decades, including population growth and development encroaching on the area. "In the 1970's, there were around 30,000 people in Stafford County; a few of the subdivisions were vacation homes for people in D.C. Now, the population is about 130,000. This is the best remaining tidal marsh in Stafford County, so our priority here is conservation," said Geoff Austin, Northern Region Operations Steward with DCR.
Despite the vastness of the preserve and the great potential it holds for environmental education and recreational opportunities, the property is largely closed to the public until further operational resources can be effectively implemented.
The dynamic duo of Lott and Austin dedicate 90 percent of their working hours toward maintaining the preserve and trying to make it accessible to the public, but one major hurdle stands in their way – a mile-and-a-half long access road. "The big obstacle is the access road to the [completed] parking lot. We need to raise the money to fix that road. That road has been there since the colonial era, it's been dug down and needs a lot of work before it's passable for cars," explained Austin. The team – with help from volunteers - keeps the trails clear, maintains the parking lot and plans to install proper trail signage once the road is completed.
Lott and Austin measure their success one victory - no matter the size - at a time, their latest being the installation of a handicap-accessible boat ramp to be opened to the public within the next couple of months. The ramp overlooks acres of tidal marsh, provides access to Accokeek Creek and lays adjacent to a half-mile trail complete with benches for wildlife observers. "It's a great birding spot," said Austin. The launch is part of a larger plan to connect a water trail system along the Potomac River.
DCR wants the public to be able to experience the preserve's natural wonder. "In the past, this landscape did not lend itself to farming very well, and so a lot of the soil we have out here is still very much intact. Researchers have said that throughout the mid-Atlantic and East Coast, you can't find soil like this in very many places anymore, which is why the forest out here is so productive," explained Lott. "A lot of the forest, particularly in the ravines, hasn't been logged intensively since the Civil War, so it's trending back toward mature forest. [For this reason] we keep the trails clear and have been holding open houses twice a year for five years now, so people have had the opportunity to see it and enjoy the trails."
Tending to nearly 3,000 acres of forest and wetlands is no simple task for two people, but the work is done out of a place of deep caring and passion for protecting and sharing the special places in life with the public. "I grew up in this area and it's nice to have an intact piece of hardwood [forest] that is going to be preserved in the area for years to come. It's great to be able to walk out there when I'm working or hunting and see the big trees; you don't see that in many other places in this area. As stewards of the land year-round you spend a lot of time here – it means a lot to be able to take care of this place." said Austin.

Many of us look forward to celebrations and gift-giving during the holiday season, but these festivities can be tough on the environment as households use more energy and throw out extra trash. Between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, Americans send about one million additional tons of garbage to the landfill. Give a gift to the Chesapeake Bay this year with our guide to reducing the impact of your holiday gift exchange.
1. Give experiences. Research has shown that spending money on events – not material purchases – creates lasting memories and provides the most happiness. Give the gift of experiences this year with gifts like concert tickets, cooking classes, museum memberships or national park passes. You could also plan a trip for someone special to one of the many parks and public access sites across the Bay region.
2. Edible gifts. Homemade treats give your gift a personal touch, and by packaging them in a reusable container, you can help reduce the amount of trash going to the landfill. Bake a batch of your favorite cookies, pack a basket full of snacks or fill a mason jar with the dry ingredients needed to make muffins, soups, or hot cocoa. Monica from The Yummy Life shares her recipe for double chocolate hot cocoa mix, complete with printable labels to decorate the jars. For more ideas, check out this list from The Kitchn of 40 homemade edible gifts, from salted pistachio brittle to fruit-infused vinegars.
3. Handmade items. Crafting handmade items from recycled materials can give new life to things you might otherwise throw out. Try using an old teacup as the base for a decorative candle with these instructions from Little House Living, or turn an old sweater into a cozy pillow cover with these instructions from Pop Sugar. Simple crafts like these salt dough ornaments from The Artful Parent are perfect for young kids to make for family and friends.
4. Upcycled materials. If crafting isn't your specialty, find a store that repurposes recycled materials to make their products. Store such as UncommonGoods sell a variety of "upcycled" merchandise, ranging from a wallet made from an old fire hose to cufflinks made from railroad nails. For kids' toys, many companies like Green Toys use recycled plastic from milk jugs to make their products.
5. Waste-reducing gadgets. Look for devices that help reduce waste of all kinds – from wasted energy to household trash – for gifts that can help save money and the environment. For the tech-lover, try gadgets like "smart" light switches or learning thermostats that adjust to your schedule to reduce the energy you use. To reduce the amount of waste that goes into the trash bin, consider gifts like reusable lunch bags, grocery bags, water bottles, or coffee thermoses.
6. Creative gift wrapping. Wrapping paper is often used once and thrown away, and much of the shiny, metallic paper is not recyclable. By packaging gifts in creative coverings like colorful shopping bags, old newspapers or decorative cloth instead of paper, you can reduce the amount of wrapping paper that goes in the garbage. With reusable tins or baskets, you can even eliminate the need to wrap presents at all! As a finishing touch, decorate gifts with reusable cloth ribbon or even try making your own bows from recycled paper instead of using plastic ribbon.
7. Rechargeable batteries. According to the EPA, nearly 40% of battery sales occur during the holidays. But depleted batteries can be difficult to dispose of and harmful to the environment. If you're giving a device that uses batteries, consider including rechargeable batteries and a charger with your gift to help reduce waste and prevent harmful chemicals from entering the environment.

Increasing air temperatures have led to warming waters in the majority of streams in the Chesapeake Bay region, according to research from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) published in Climatic Change.
Analyzing fifty-one years of records, scientists found an overall increase of 1.98 degrees Fahrenheit in air temperature and 2.52 degrees in water temperature from 1960 to 2010. The study evaluated measurements from 85 air temperature sites and 129 stream temperature sites of varying size, depth, and land covers.
"Although this may not seem like much, even small increases in water temperatures can have an effect on water quality, affecting the animals that rely on the bay's streams, as well as the estuary itself," said Karen Rice, lead author of the study.
Warming streams can lead to higher nutrient concentrations and decreased dissolved oxygen, resulting in "dead zones" where underwater life is unable to survive. Increased water temperatures may also cause native plants and animals, such as bay grasses and brook trout, to move to different areas as waters no longer fit their habitat needs.
Rising air and water temperatures are just some of the climate change effects that are expected to impact local waters. Results of the study are expected to help inform adaptation strategies to increase climate resiliency across the region.
The article, "Rising air and stream-water temperatures in Chesapeake Bay region, USA," is available for purchase online.
For many of the people living upstream of the Chesapeake Bay, daily life doesn't involve crab pots or oyster dredges. A group of such Bay novices — including one member who had never been on a boat — assembled in Crisfield, Md., this fall to take a ferry to Smith Island, one of the last two inhabited islands in the Chesapeake Bay. Actually a small cluster of low-lying stretches of land, Smith Island and its Virginia neighbor Tangier Island carry a rich cultural history dating back to the 1600s. Over the years, they have been subjected to the extreme weather conditions in the open Chesapeake Bay and forces of sea level rise and land subsidence that have already claimed surrounding islands. The trip, organized by the Chesapeake Bay Program's Forestry Workgroup, gave the foresters the chance to experience the unique life of a Chesapeake waterman.
"These participants are engaged in work throughout the watershed that directly benefits the quality of the Bay, but often they have very little experience on the Bay itself," said Craig Highfield of the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and the Forests for the Bay initiative, who has facilitated the excursion for the past two years. "This trip is a way to connect their work with a community that relies so intimately with a healthy Bay."
Over the course of two and a half days, the group of foresters followed educators from Chesapeake Bay Foundation's Smith Island environmental education center, taking in the unique culture, exploring the changing environment and finding new connections that bring the Bay closer to home.
"I think this group was able to draw similarities between the rural communities they work with — who rely on the natural resources on the land — with this rural community that relies on the natural resources of the Bay," said Highfield.

Trailer (book)
This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (March 2011) |
A book trailer is a video advertisement for a book which employs techniques similar to those of movie trailers to promote books and encourage readers.[1] These trailers can also be referred to as "video-podcasts", with higher quality trailers being called "cinematic book trailers".[2] They are circulated on television and online in most common digital video formats.[3] Common formats of book trailers include actors performing scenes from the book akin to a movie trailer, full production trailers, flash videos, animation or simple still photos set to music with text conveying the story.[4] This differs from author readings and interviews, which consist of video footage of the author narrating a portion of their writing or being interviewed.[5] Early book trailers consisted mostly of still images of the book, with some videos incorporating actors,[6] with John Farris's book trailer for his 1986 novel Wildwood incorporating images from the book cover along with actors such as John Zacherle.[citation needed]
Trailie Award[edit]
In September 2007, the School Library Journal established the Trailie Award for the best book trailers. There are three categories: author/publisher created, student created and librarian/adult created. The award was announced at the School Library Journal Leadership Summit on the Future of Reading on October 22, 2010 in Chicago.[7]
In 2014, Dan Rosen and CV Herst established BookReels, a website dedicated to allowing publishers and authors to post book trailers and other multimedia, culminating in the annual BookReels Awards. BookReels lets readers browse and rate trailers, post comments and reviews, join discussion groups, and share BookReel discoveries.[8]

System that allows persons to send letters, parcels, or packages to addressees in the same country or abroad. Postal systems are usually government-run and paid for by a combination of user charges and government subsidies. There are early references to postal services in Egypt circa 2000 BC and in Zhou-dynasty China circa 1000 BC. The Roman Empire developed various centralized methods of relaying messages. In the Middle Ages there were no centralized postal services. Private postal systems developed with the rise of nation-states during the Renaissance; subsequently, postal services became government monopolies. Charges based on weight rather than distance and the use of prepaid stamps were first proposed in 1837. The General Postal Union (1875; later Universal Postal Union) improved international mail delivery by allowing member countries to retain the postage they collected on outgoing international mail and requiring them to treat incoming international mail as they did domestic mail. Airmail and automated mail handling were developed in the 20th century. Seealso e-mail.

Verizon Wireless bugs customer devices, tracks location, web activity, and app usage
Posted By Ashraf On November 17, 2011 @ 1:25 PM In General Tech | 13 Comments
[1]What has an antenna, fits in your pocket, costs money monthly to use, and violates your privacy? A smartphone from Verizon Wireless. Verizon Wireless has announced plans to start tracking their customers' smartphone data for "certain business and marketing reports and making mobile ads you see more relevant." Exactly what data are we talking about? Most of what you use your smartphone for — surfing the web, using apps, and geographic location:
Personally identifiable information is not "shared" and Verizon does allow customers to opt-out of this tracking (by visiting http://vzw.com/myprivacy [2] or calling 1-866-211-0874; family plans must do it for all devices individually), so this is no big deal. Right? Right? Rightttt? Okay, maybe not right. Class action lawsuit coming in 3…2…1…
On a more serious note, there are no details as to if this is platform specific or if this will apply to all smartphones. I'd love to see Verizon run this one past Apple. (There are advantages of selling millions of units in a span of few days, ya' know.)
I don't understand how Verizon execs think people will be alright with this. I mean, yeah, Verizon isn't the first company to track web activity, with Google being the largest culprit coming to mind. However, Google's business model is providing free services backed by advertising. People pay Verizon to use Verizon's services… and apparently to have their privacy violated, too. Not to mention if you don't like what Google is doing you can stop using their services (or at least try); with Verizon many customers are stuck in contracts with no choice but to continue to use Verizon. (Technically there is a clause in contracts that says people are allowed to break contract without paying the early termination fee if the contract has been modified by the carrier. However, based off some comments that I have read, it appears Verizon is not considering this to be a change in contract and therefore not giving people a get-out-of-jail-free card.)
Anyone wanting more details can hit up the link below which shows an "important notice" released by Verizon regarding these changes:

P.S. The title of this article claims Verizon "bugs" devices. I used the word bug for dramatic effect — don't take it literally. I don't know exactly how Verizon collects/will collect the above-mentioned data so I am not claiming they literally bug devices.

"August 30
I went to work this afternoon only to find out that I don't have a job there anymore.
After 30 years and 12 days of continuous employment as a Broadcast Meteorologist at six different TV stations, I guess I need to quickly look for something else.
I want to thank all of my fantastic coworkers, everyone that I've met in South Central and Southwest Wisconsin and all of the loyal viewers of WMTV since 1997 for your support.
September 28
I will be leaving South Central Wisconsin for KTUU, Channel 2 in Anchorage on Wednesday. It has been a tremendous pleasure to report so many good weather days and a wonderful honor to help you feel more at ease when severe weather threatened you or your family.
It was an awful and demoralizing end to my time at NBC15, but know that I'm thrilled about my upcoming adventure. I get to work at a place that wants me, respects me, appreciates my talents and is making every effort to treat me well.
If we every cross paths again, please call out my name or approach me so I can personally express gratitude for the time we've shared and for the support you've given. To my extended family members and dear friends around the country know that I'm happy and so thankful to have you in my life.
My heartfelt appreciation to all,

Tom Santopietro's third book, Sinatra in Hollywood will be released by St. Martin's Press/Thomas Dunne Books on November 11, 2008.
Sinatra in Hollywood details the brilliant, fascinating, and occasionally inexplicable film career that earned Frank Sinatra standing as one of the last legends from Hollywood's golden age, and grants Sinatra status as an actor equal to his fabled career as vocalist and recording artist. Laced throughout with Sinatra's own observations on his film work, the book deals head-on with the tumultuous marriages to Ava Gardner and Mia Farrow and directly addresses the rumors of Mob involvement in Sinatra's career. The complete arc of Sinatra's astonishing 60 year run as an actor is traced, from his rise in musicals like Anchors Aweigh and On the Town, through his fall from grace with legendary flops like The Kissing Bandit, to the near-mythic comeback with his Oscar winning performance in From Here to Eternity. In the process, Sinatra in Hollywood comes to examine just how Sinatra's iconic screen image did nothing less than embody America at the height of its standing in the second half of the twentieth century- the "American Century."
Tom's second book, Considering Doris Day , published in April 2007 by St. Martin's Press, was named a New York Times Book Review "Editor's Choice". Praised by The Atlantic as "a book offering serious insight into a relatively neglected life- the observations are apt- and often bold", Considering Doris Day constituted an encyclopedic analysis of the film, recording, and television careers of superstar Doris Day, the first book to place this all-American icon within the cultural context of America itself. Considering Doris Day was published as a trade paperback in August, 2008.
Prior to Considering Doris Day, Tom's first book, The Importance of Being Barbra, was published by St. Martin's Press in 2006. Analyzing the extraordinary world wide success of Barbra Streisand, it was the first book written about Barbra Streisand to focus solely upon her career, not personal life, and included a "career scorecard" which graded Streisand's fifty plus albums, eighteen feature films, and television specials. In addition to other countries, the book has now been published in China, and a trade paperback edition of the book was published in the United States in October, 2007.
Considering Doris Day and The Importance of Being Barbra have been featured in The New York Times, Publisher's Weekly, The Atlantic, Library Journal, The Boston Globe, The Miami Herald, The New York Post, and numerous newspapers across the country. Tom has made multiple radio appearances across the country, in forums ranging from National Public Radio to Voice of America, as well as appearing on network and cable television stations. He lectures about all three books nationwide, addressing groups ranging from the Dallas, Texas Women's Club to the Palo Alto, California Morning Forum. Tom writes book reviews for BarnesandNoble.com and also interviews celebrity authors as part of their signings at Barnes and Noble bookstores.
Prior to becoming an author, Tom worked as a tennis pro and has spent twenty-five years as a manager of over 30 Broadway shows, including A Few Good Men, Jersey Boys, Xanadu, Master Class, The Tale of the Allergist's Wife, Noises Off and The Iceman Cometh, working along with the way with Patti LuPone, Tommy Tune, Glenn Close, Jason Robards, Valerie Harper, Michele Lee and Bea Arthur.
Tom is a graduate of the University of Connecticut School of Law, from which he emerged with a firm resolution never to practice law. It is a resolution applauded by the American Bar Association.

Jessica Simpson just listed the Beverly Hills estate she bought after her divorce from Nick Lachey in 2005. The home, which she purchased under "Lime Orchard Trust" for $5,275,052, has a rich Hollywood history. It has been owned by several celebrities, including Ellen Degeneres, who bought it in 2001 and sold it in 2003 to Rick Yorn, a manager to such A-list celebrities as Leonardo Dicaprio and Cameron Diaz.
The five bedroom, 5.5 bath estate spans 5,500 square feet and has been recently renovated with interior designs by Rachel Ashwell, of Shabby Chic Couture. Details include ebonized hardwood floors, crown moldings, high ceilings in the living and dining room, a restaurant-style gourmet kitchen, and a stone courtyard that leads to a koi pond. The master suite has a sitting area with French doors that open to a large deck with view of the grounds. Outside, there's a swimming pool surrounding by lushly landscaped grounds. The home is serene and private, which was important for the singer and reality TV star.
The home is right next door to the estate once owned by Kimora Lee Simmons, where filming took place for her reality TV show "Life in the Fab Lane." It's also around the corner from Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman's residence. "This area of Beverly Hills is dotted with homes owned by celebrities. You can often spot a star walking their dog through the many canyon trails nearby," said Corina Galen, a Redfin real estate agent in Los Angeles.
On March 12 Jessica bought a home formerly owned by the Osbournes in Hidden Hills, Calif. The six bedroom, six bath estate spans 10,953 square feet. Sales records show it was purchased for $11.5 million, under "Dixon Trail Trust," which, like the "Lime Orchard Trust," is managed by her business manager, David Levin. Unlike the former Osbourne and Christina Aguilera home, this one has a much more subdued Cape Cod style. Ozzie and Sharon bought the home in 2007 for $12,388,500, so it looks like they're taking a hit on the sale – much like the rest of the country who bought in 2007. The home was featured in the June 2011 issue of Architectural Digest. The interior was decorated by renowned designer Martyn Lawrence-Bullard.

West Coast School of Law was formed on October 11, 2001 by licensed attorney, David Stallings who received his law degree through correspondence and self study at Taft University. Students did not actually enroll until mid 2002. Initially Dean Stallings called it the California Correspondence Law School but later changed its name because of requests from students who said the word "correspondence" gave a negative connotation when they applied for positions.
West Coast School of Law-Online Law School is located on 7837 Danvers Street in Downey, California. This address is of little significance since it is not a traditional school where students reside in dormitories or commute. WCSL is a self-study correspondence law school. Although no time is spent in classrooms, the school uses the same course books as traditional law schools. Students must complete 864 hours of preparation and study each year. Course work from WCSL is not transferable.
The goal of West Coast School of Law-Online Law School is to provide an economic law degree using distance learning. This allows individuals with too many family and career obligations to pursue their dream of practicing law. It gives a second chance to students who can't get into traditional law school.
Online law schools are not accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA). Although not accredited, WCSL is registered with the Committee of Bar Examiners of State Bar of California. California is the only state where students who graduate from non accredited schools allowed to take the Bar Exam.
West Coast School of Law-Online Law School offers both non bar and bar studies, including a two year program leading to a Bachelor of Science law diploma and a four year program leading to the Juris Doctorate Degree diploma. STudents who want to enhance their general knowledge of law can enroll.
West Coast School of Law-Online Law School has an open enrollment, meaning there is not a specific deadline for submitting applications. The process begins with the submission of the application and registration. The fees are nonredable. The applicant's prior education experience is then evaluated and a decision made. High school graduation is a prequisite for applying. The grading scale of WCSL resembles that of traditional law schools (A, B, C, D and F). Although there isn't a classroom setting, students are expected to maintain satisfactory progress and use the honor code during testing. Financial aid is not offered.
First Year: Introduction to Law and Legal Research, 1 hr; Contracts, 6 hrs; Criminal Law, 4 hrs; Torts, 6 hrs; Legal Analysis and Writing1, 3 hrs
Second Year: Civil Procedure, 6 hrs; Constitutional Law, 6 hrs; Real Property, 6 hrs; Wills, 3 hrs; Trusts, 3 hrs; Legal Analysis and Writing 2, 3hrs
Third Year: Business Associations, 6 hrs; Community Property, 3 hrs; Criminal Procedure, 3hrs; Evidence, 6 hrs; Legal Analysis and Writing3, 3 hrs
Fourth Year: Professional Responsibility, 4 hrs; Remedies, 4 hrs; Uniform Commercial Code, 4 hrs; Legal Analysis and Writing4, 3 hrs
The First Year Law Exam, a four hour test over basic contracts, criminal law, and torts, is taken by bar students after the first year. After completion of four years, the Bar Exam can be taken in either June or October.
Dean Stallings modeled the West Coast School of Law-Online Law School after his own style of learning and the style used by Abraham Lincoln-SELF STUDY. For self learners who want a basic legal education at an affordable price with curriculum that prepares them for the Bar exam and practice of law, WSCL offers a wonderful opportunity!

Why Restore the Everglades - Part 1 Understanding
the Everglades Ecosystem - Past & Present
The Everglades is an ecosystem in peril. Once it was a vast, free-flowing river of grass extending from the Kissimmee chain of lakes to Florida Bay. Wading and migratory birds were so prolific they darkened the skies. Panthers, manatees and deer were abundant. These sub-tropical wetlands supported a rich diversity of plants, fish and other animals.
However, people started to affect the Everglades as early as the late 1800s, when primitive canals were dug to begin draining south Florida. These changes continued throughout the 20th century, as more than 1,700 miles of canals and levees vastly changed the landscape, interrupting the Everglades' natural sheetflow and sending valuable freshwater to sea. More than half the Everglades wetlands were lost to development.
Marjory Stoneman Douglas wrote about the problems of the Everglades in 1947, describing a ecosystem that was beautiful yet already clearly suffering. Just one year later, in 1948, a massive project to provide essential flood protection and water management to south Florida was approved. While the Central and Southern Florida Project allowed the region's rapid growth, it worsened the Everglades' problems.
Today, a plan has been approved to restore the magnificent River of Grass. The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan will capture freshwater destined for sea - the Everglades' lifeblood - and direct it back to the ecosystem to revitalize it. It will improve water supplies for people and farms, too. The nation's largest such project, it will cost $7.8 billion and take more than 20 years to develop.

The Daily Gambling Fix 01/03/11 – Madalina Diana
Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.
The Game: Boston Bruins @ Toronto Maple Leafs
The Reason: The Leafs are one of the worst offensive teams in the league and will find it tough getting many goals against the Bruins. Boston has given up the least amount of goals in the league and its not even close so expect a low scoring affair tonight.
