Sandpoint air service delayed for cash reasons
The Idaho Statesman This weeks scheduled inauguration of round-trip air service between Boise and Sandpoint by Idaho-based McCall Aviation was delayed.
The launch of the four-day-a-week service has been pushed back to an undetermined date while local businessmen put the finishing touches on a $270,000 cash incentive required by the agreement between Bonner County and McCall Air. When launched, the air service will include round-trip travel between Sandpoint and Seattle.
Local officials believe introduction of air service will help economic development by making Bonner County more attractive to businesses considering relocating to the area.
Rich Faletto, vice-chair of the Sandpoint Air Service Committee that has been working for three years to bring air travel to the community, said some $250,000 in pledges for discounted tickets on McCall Air have already been sold.
"But we have to have $270,000 in the bank 30 days before services begins," Faletto said. "We're confident that we can pick that up in the next week."
Faletto said the committee delayed asking purchasers to pay for their tickets until the Bonner County Attorney's Office had signed off on the agreement with the county.
That process took longer than expected, he said, so people only began paying for their tickets this week.
The pledges, which can be purchased through May 7, are for a special discounted fare of $97.50 for a one-way ticket between Boise and Sandpoint.
"After that, the price of the ticket is going up," Faletto said.
McCall Aviation president Dan Scott declined to say how much the price of a ticket will increase once service begins, but added that customers purchasing a book of 12 round-trip tickets prior to May 7 will receive an additional round-trip ticket.
Flights are scheduled to operate Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
Tentatively, plans call for a nine-passenger Cessna Caravan to depart Boise at 7 a.m. for the two-hour flight to Sandpoint. It will depart for Seattle at 8:30 a.m. (Pacific time), arriving at 10 a.m. The plane will depart Seattle at 2 p.m., returning through Sandpoint and arriving in Boise at 7 p.m.
The Boise/Sandpoint/Seattle route is McCall Aviation's first entry into the scheduled commuter service market.

Sizes of Photographs Enlargements were not a feature of early photographic processes. The size of the final photo was the same as that of the negative or photographic plate. |
Ambrotypes and Tintypes |
Ambrotypes and Tintypes would usually be a fraction of a whole-plate glass size. Tintype sizes (inches):
NOTE: The sizes quoted above for half-plate and quarter-plate are a little different from 'normal' glass plate sizes. I don't know why. Half-plate and whole plate sizes for glass plates are the appropriate proportions of whole-plate. i.e. - 6.5 ins x 4.25 ins (half-plate) - 4.25 ins x 3.25 ins (quarter-plate) |
from 1850s |
Small The smaller tintype photos that I have seen are 1 ½" x 2 ½" and ½" x 1" In both cases, they have been mounted on trade cards 4 x 2 ½ ins. |
Large I have also received an email from a collector in London who has a photograph of a young girl with dress, ear rings and rings painted over the original photo. It is a tintype measuring 13 ins x 10 ins. |
Boudoir Prints |
8.5 ins x 5.25 ins |
from when? |
Portraits In the 19th century, studio portraits were usually produced as either cartes de visite (the smaller size) or cabinet prints (the larger size). Prices for multiple copies were affordable and 19th century photograph albums were usually designed so that these sizes of photo could be slotted into them. Size Cabinet prints were 5.5 ins x 4 ins photos mounted on cards 6.5 x 4.25 ins. with the photographer's name and address on the back of the card (or occasionally below the photo on the front of the card. Here are some examples of cabinet print portraits |
from 1866 |
Views Cabinet size views were 8ins x 6 ins. They were collected and mounted in albums in the 19th century. Albums can still be found, often containing views by Valentine of Dundee and George Washington Wilson of Aberdeen. Valentine sold their cabinet size views for a shilling (£0.05) each. [Roddy Simpson] From the start of the 20th century, views were normally sold as postcards by Valentine and others. |
from mid- 1860s |
Small Portraits In the 19th century, studio portraits were usually produced as either cartes de visite (the smaller size) or cabinet prints (the larger size). Photograph albums were usually designed so that these sizes of photo could be slotted into them. Size Cartes de visite 3.5 ins x 2.25 ins photos mounted on trade cards 4.125 ins x 2.5 ins. Cartes de visite were: - invented by Count Olympe Aguado - patented by AAE Disderi, France, 1854. They enabled 4, 6 or 10 different image to be exposed on a single glass plate. Most cartes de visites were used for portraits |
from 1853 See Dates |
The Price of Cartes de Visite A photographer of high standing might have charged 10s 6d (£0.525) for a dozen for cartes de visite. But some photographers charged only 6d (£0.025) per dozen, so bringing photographs within the reach of a far wider audience. [Ref: Dr Ralph W Rimmer FRPS in an article entitled Poverty: A Subject for Photography: The PhotoHistorian, Sep 2003, pp.5-7] |
An advert was placed in the British Journal of Photography Almanac in the early 1860s by The London Stereoscopic Co, 55 Cheapside, London. It offered: - Highly albumenised paper (the same as used by the artists of the company): 12s per quire - Cards, plain white best quality: 10s per 1,000 - Ditto with address lithographed on the back: 21s per 1,000 (first 1,000) then 17s per 1,000. |
A Set of Uncut Cartes de Visite I was interested to see a set of 8 uncut cartes de visite on this Luminous Lint web site. |
Coupon Prints |

for wet collodion |
Large Plates Ken Watson, USA, a practitioner of the wet collodion process, wrote: "The largest plate made in America was 18 x 22 ins, derived from the largest size of Albumen paper that could be bought from France. In the 1860s, there were no enlargers, so all prints were contact prints. Carleton Watkins had a camera specially made to take 18 x 22 ins plates. His views of Yosemite are recommended." However, Christopher A Wright, a calotype and wet and dry collodion photographer, and consultant to the Getty Museum provided details of several enlargers from the 1860s and earlier. |
1850s onwards |
Sizes in USA, UK, Europe I have not investigated the range of sizes of glass plate that were made, and how these differed between USA, UK and Europe. There seems to be scope for a lot of research. Perhaps somebody will provide a link to a site that gives this information. Meanwhile, here is a comment that I received recently from Bill Hibbert: "Typically plate sizes are 9 x 12, 13 x 18, 18 x 24 cm etc. I have only half plates, one set of which date from the USA in 1906 and another set from France around 1910-20. These are all close to 13x18 (or 5" x 7" in imperial) - within 2 or 3 mm in every case. I presume there was considerable variation in practice, particularly in the 19th century when standards were still being established." My own interest is in stereo/3D photography, for which the standard glass plate sizes are 45 x 107mm and 6 x 13 cm. You will note the 6x13 looks like a 13x18 half plate cut into three I haven't checked the 45x107mm size, but no doubt it can be made economically from one of the larger formats." Bill Hibbert, Suffolk, England: May 8, 2012 |

Photograph Albums |
Here are some observations on photograph albums and the size of prints they were designed to hold in the late-Victorian era. |
1860s to 1900 |
Plate |
ins x 6.5 ins (whole plate) OR 4.25 ins x 3.25 ins (quarter-plate) NOTE: The sizes quoted above are the sizes of half-plate photographic papers that I used to buy. In particular, this half-plate size is a little longer than half of a whole plate. I presume that paper was sold in this size (rather than 6.5 ins x 4.25 ins) to keep the paper approximately in the same proportions as for whole-plate and quarter plate photos. i.e. with the long side about 1.3 x the short side. However, half-plate glass plates would have been cut by cutting a whole-plate sheet of glass into two, so I expect that these would have been 6.5 ins x 4.25 ins. Half-plate negatives were presumably made to fit into cameras designed for half-plate glass slides so I these may well have also been 6.5 ins x 4.25 ins. Whole-plate sheets of glass were also cut into smaller sizes including 1/6th plate, 1/9th-plate, 1/12th plate. |
Victorian, Edwardian and later |
Polyfotos |
Polyfotos were popular in the 1950s - 48 different small photos, often of children, were contact printed onto a single sheet, then the best would be chosen to be enlarged. This Science & Society web site has examples of Polyfotos. |

'Bird nerd' teaches visitors all about birds
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Sara Miller calls herself a "bird nerd."
Every Saturday morning during the summer months, she leads people through the woods of Kanawha State Forest, teaching them to identify birds by sight and by sound. It's a job she particularly enjoys.
"I've always been interested in nature, but in the past few years I've taken a special interest in birds," said the 24-year-old Charleston native. "This job allows me to apply that interest and help others develop an appreciation for birds and for nature."
Miller, who graduated from West Virginia University in 2010 with a degree in wildlife and fisheries biology, was a nature buff long before she ever left for college.
"I've lived in the woods almost since I was born," she said. "I could walk out my back door and be in the woods, and I spent as much time there as I could."
Some of Miller's first memories are of springtime morel hunts with her father.
"I was really little and low to the ground," she said, smiling. "I was a good mushroom finder even at that age."
Her grandfather fostered her avian fascination.
"I was 5 or 6 years old when he got me into birds," Miller recalled. "He started me with the cardinal because it was bright red, easy to see, and was the state bird. I've been a birder ever since, but I didn't get really serious about it until the first summer job I had while I was in college."
Miller and her coworkers were "nest searchers," tasked with finding birds' nests and monitoring their inhabitants' survival.
"To learn where the birds nested, we had to learn what habitat they preferred and how they sounded. We used the male birds' calls to get a general location, and then we watched the adults to find the nests themselves," she said.
The skills she picked up during that first summer job have served her well since last summer, when she became Kanawha State Forest's summertime resident naturalist.
"This forest has a very diverse bird population," she said. "We have everything from warblers and cuckoos to crows and barred owls. One time, sitting just outside the forest's office, I was able to identify the calls of 29 different bird species."
Though her naturalist job entails much more than just bird study, Miller has made it a principal focus of her duties. News releases put out by the state Division of Natural Resources promote her weekly birding forays as "nature programs with your local Bird Nerd at Kanawha State Forest."
Every Saturday at 9 a.m. between Memorial Day and Labor Day, Miller meets up with would-be nature enthusiasts for a morning's worth of bird watching. Some days she assigns themes to the walks. This Saturday's program, for example, will focus on members of the flycatcher family.
Most people who show up for the hikes are nature novices, and Miller sometimes modifies her chosen program to accommodate her audience's needs.
"I gauge the crowd first, and if it's beginners, I kind of play things by ear," she said. "The idea is to get people interested in nature. Birding is great for that because birds are everywhere. People who go on bird walks at the forest can find some of those same birds wherever they live."
Miller said her Friday activities at the forest aren't nearly as bird-specific.
"I set up a 'mobile nature center' beside the forest office between noon and 4 p.m.," she said. "I bring an extra table and set it up with lots of different animal artifacts for people to touch and feel. I also bring things for them to read. Eventually we're going to build an 'interpretive corner,' with signs identifying the different trees, a few birds feeders and things like that."
Information on Miller's upcoming programs can be obtained by calling the Kanawha State Forest office at 304-558-3500.

Comments Thread For: Early Fights Results From Warsaw, Poland: Laszczyk Wins
WBO #14 super featherweight Kamil Laszczyk (11-0, 6 KOs) got his fifth win this year, clearly outpointing overmatched Italian veteran Antonio Cossu, 38, over twelve rounds. The Pole, 17 years his younger, was in full control of the bout and easily outboxed Cossu in almost every round of scheduled twelve. Scores were: 118-110, 119-109 and 120-108 - for the home fighter. As a result of this win, Laszczyk acquired a vacant WBO I/C belt in his comeback to 126 pounds. It's still unclear if he continues to compete as a featherweight or as a super featherweight in the future. Cossu, meanwhile, suffered his first career loss and dropped down to 12-1-1, with 6 KOs.

In addition to the redesigns of SearchEngineWatch and ClickZ we have been hard at work on the event front... keep on reading for clarification on some of our recent SES announcements...
First of all, we announced today a new SES event on October 25 and 26 in London alongside our friends at affiliates4u and the a4uexpo. The SES team will be programming one track – about five sessions – on the second day of this 4-track, 2-day affiliate powerhouse of a show. Please visit the event site for more information. This event is for all those who just can't wait until our next London event in February 2008. Enjoy — it will be a great two days!
Speaking of London, please join me in officially welcoming Mike Grehan as the new host of our SES London event. A longtime SES speaker, ClickZ contributing editor and member of the search community, Mike will host our London 2008 event, to be held at the Business Design Center in February. In this capacity Mike will be responsible for programming the sessions alongside Kevin Ryan.
Last, but not at all least, is our SES San Jose event this August 20 – 23. This show is shaping up quite nicely as Danny and Chris have been very busy building out the agenda. We are featuring 2 keynotes at this event – Jim Lanzone from Ask.com and Marissa Mayer from Google. In addition Google will be hosting the much-anticipated Google Dance party on Tuesday, August 21, and WebMasterRadio.FM will be hosting the SearchBash on Wednesday evening (details to come) – both of these should not be missed. Kevin Ryan will also be making an appearance at the event. He has programmed the ClickZ track on Day 1 – be sure to stop by, as it will serve as a taste of what to expect in Chicago this December (it will be different – lots of new search content and formats).
That's it for now; we are off to the SES Travel launch event in Seattle today and then back to our desks to work up a few more surprise announcements in the next couple of weeks. Then it's off once again to Boston for a full day of dedicated SEM training (this is filling up fast by the way). Thank you for sticking it out with us this last year – it has been an interesting ride. Looking back at it from our current vantage point, I must say, the teams here at ClickZ, SEW and SES have done an amazing job keeping everything together, and we look forward to a bright future — full of fresh and timely content, as well as strong networking opportunities with many of our old friends and some new faces as well.

The Supreme Court in the next few days is likely to deliver its verdict on the gas pricing and supply dispute between energy companies RIL and RNRL, which have seen their share valuations erode as the judgement day nears.
The verdict is expected on or before Monday (May 10), the day of retirement of Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan, who is heading a three-member bench that heard the dispute between Reliance Industries (RIL) and Reliance Natural Resources Ltd (RNRL), the companies led by billionaire brothers Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani, respectively.
RNRL is seeking a 28 million cubic meter of gas a day or more than one-third of peak output from RIL's eastern offshore KG-D6 fields at a price set in a 2005 family agreement to split the Reliance business empire between the brothers.
If the three-judge panel, which reserved judgment in the lawsuit after arguments concluded on December 18, upholds the Bombay High Court verdict, RIL will have to supply gas to RNRL's proposed Dadri power plant at $2.34 per mmBtu — 44 per cent lower than the government set price.
That may not be a problem for RIL unless the court says the government fixed price of $4.2 per mmBtu for KG-D6 gas should be used for calculating taxes and royalty. In such a scenario, RIL stands to lose huge revenues over the 17 year contract period.
RIL shares have fallen 9.26 per cent in a month to Rs. 1,020.90. RNRL took a beating, as it fell 7.55 per cent down in just two days to Rs. 67.30 on May 4 as investors sold ahead of the Supreme Court verdict.
While RIL closed marginally down today at Rs. 1,020.75, RNRL closed nearly two per cent up at Rs. 68.50.
Also, RIL will have to find new source of gas to meet its obligation as KG-D6 field may not be producing 28 mmscmd for 17 years from the date Dadri is commissioned, which may be at least three years from now.
In the event of the court upholding RIL's contention that it cannot sell gas at a price less than $4.20 per mmBtu as set by the government and to customers other than those identified in accordance with the Gas Utilisation Policy (GUP), the Anil Ambani Group firm will have to rework plans for the 7,800 MW Dadri plant.
RIL says it was robbed of its freedom to market gas after RNRL, in the run-up for fixation of price of KG-D6 in 2007, sought a GUP.
RNRL launched a media campaign against the Oil Ministry, accusing it of siding with RIL — a charge vehemently denied by Petroleum Minister Murli Deora who insists that the government's intervention in the dispute was to ensure that national property (gas) is not surreptitiously divided through private deals.
The Bombay High Court had last year upheld RNRL's claim for gas as made out in the family agreement.
The Apex court heard the case for 26 days since it commenced on October 20. It also witnessed the recusal of Justice R.V. Raveendran from the Bench after hearing the matter for six days on the ground that he held shares of both RIL and RNRL.

Bukhara at Sheraton Park Tower
Courtesy Bukhara/ITC Hotels
Why?A limited-time curry pop-up.
There's nothing we love more than good curry -- at least, nothing that's publishable in this here newsletter -- which is why we're thrilled to hear that world-famous Delhi diner Bukhara is popping up at the shiny Sheraton Park Tower this summer. Running from 17th May to 1st June, the pop-up will be creative-directed by none other than luxe-loving jewellery designer-slash-actor Waris Ahluwalia and will offer dishes such as the Sikandri Raan -- a whole leg of spring lamb braised in a marinade of malt vinegar, cinnamon and black cumin, skewered and finished off in the tandoor. And housed at such flash digs, it's perfect for a romantic evening. Just don't overdo it on the spice.

Bodies of 2 divers found under ice at quarry
January 26th, 2003
Bodies of 2 area divers found under ice at quarry
By Linda Cook
LOWDEN, Iowa The bodies of two Quad-City area men who apparently died in an
ice-diving accident were found early Sunday..
Kevin Michael Petersen, 31, of 18739 317th St., Long Grove, and Tracy Michael
Humphreys, 30, 1708 225th St., Calamus, were discovered about 9:45 a.m.
Petersen and Humphreys had planned to go ice scuba diving Saturday at
Wendling Quarry, 2080 160th St., about three miles southwest of here,
according to the Cedar County Sheriffs Department. They were dropped off but
did not appear when their ride came to pick them up. The driver waited for
several hours for the divers, then called for help..
Emergency personnel, including the Lowden Fire Department, Cedar County
Sheriffs Department, Bettendorf Fire and Rescue, the Special Operations
Response Team and Dive Operations searched the area. The divers personal
gear and clothing were discovered near two holes cut in the ice..
Divers made several attempts late Saturday to find the two men. The search
was called off about 1 a.m. Sunday because of extreme weather conditions..
The search began again at 7:30 a.m. Sunday with members of the Lowden and
Wheatland fire departments and the Cedar County Sheriffs Department.
Petersen and Humphreys were found underneath the ice about 275 feet out into
the quarry. They were pronounced dead at the scene by the Cedar County
medical examiners staff. The bodies were transported to St. Lukes Hospital
in Cedar Rapids, where autopsies have been scheduled..
Mark Poulos, scuba instructor for Sentry Scuba out of Moline, is a certified
ice diver and an ice diving instructor. He served as a technical adviser
Saturday night at the quarry..
Mostly your rescue people around here do the ice diving. Its used
primarily for rescue and recovery, he said. .
He said that ice diving requires special training, and death is rare if
proper procedures are followed. It is very beautiful if you do it properly.
The water is clearer (during the winter) in most lakes than in the summer
time. Actually, its warmer under the ice than it is on top. Its at least
33 degrees under the ice, and youre not dealing with wind chill..
Divers cut triangle-shaped holes in the ice, he said. Its easier to get in
and out because youve got the point there, and you can put your hands up on
the ice to help you get out. And having someone on the outside also helps you
get in and out..
With proper equipment, people can stay under about 20 or 30 minutes..
The major problem with diving under the ice is that you have to watch for
hypothermia, Poulos said. Hypothermia happens when the core temperature of
your body dips to a point where it starts affecting your other organs. It
affects your internal organs, and it can kill you. It just numbs you
completely, he said."He who saves a single life, is said to have saved the entire world." TM

Las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo
Argentina and the "Third Cinema"
In 1968 two of the group's filmmakers—Fernanado Solanas and Octavio Getino— expressed their ideals in their treatise Towards a Third Cinema. This manifesto laments the "First Cinema" of Hollywood and its filmmaking rivals—such as London or Bombay. But it also challenges the "Second Cinema" of the "art house films" of Europe and Latin America, those literate, well-crafted films that express reformist political views but are powerless in the face of the resurgent fascism of Latin American governments. By contrast, Solonas and Getino call for a "Third Cinema," a "guerilla cinema....which directly and explicitly sets out to fight the system." Although military rule did repress Argentinean film in the 1980s, the collapse of the military junta after their defeat in the Falklands/Malvinas war gave greater breathing room to filmmakers. Films such as Aldofo Aristarian's Time for Revenge, Hector Olivera's A Funny, Dirty Little War, and Carlos Sorin's A King and His Movie were released just prior to The Official Story and earned international attention for their cagey political fables. When The Official Story won the Academy Award in 1986 for Best Foreign Language Film, it was in many respects the mainstream's acknowledgement of a resurgent Argentinean cinema.

WEST BUFFALO TOWNSHIP - A Mifflinburg man was flown to Geisinger Medical Center for treatment following a crash involving a garbage truck Wednesday morning.
Lennie C. Boop, 38, of Mifflinburg, suffered a major head injury following the 8:22 a.m. crash on Buffalo Road, one-half mile east of Walbash Road in this Union County township. A Geisinger spokesperson confirmed at 3:30 p.m. Boop was at the hospital and being treated. No condition report was available.
State police at Milton report a 2002 Mack garbage truck, owned by Waste Management of Central Pa. and driven by Michael T. Derr, 52, of Shamokin, was stopped on Buffalo Road, also known as Route 192, facing east and picking up garbage. Boop, driving a 2005 Chrysler Sebring, was traveling east on Buffalo Road and struck the back of the garbage truck, police said.
A passenger in the Mack truck, Kenneth C. Zweizig, 57, of Lavelle, was standing at the back of the truck, throwing garbage. He was able to get out of the way of the Sebring, police said.
Boop's vehicle suffered major front end damage and had to be towed from the scene. Derr and Zweizig were uninjured in the crash. The truck sustained minor damage.
Assisting police at the scene were members of the Mifflinburg Fire and Ambulance.

Title: | Calibration of dynamic sensors for noncontact-atomic force microscopy |
Published: | August 12, 2011 |
Abstract: | Access to quantitative information on surface forces in noncontact-atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) requires the accurate calibration of several key sensor parameters. This work outlines a dynamic method for calibrating the spring constant of tuning fork-type sensors. The method eliminates uncertainties due to tip location, provides for direct calibration in ambient, liquid, ultrahigh vacuum (UHV), and cryogenic environments, and offers a route to measurements potentially traceable to the International System of Units (SI). The spring constants obtained with the dynamic calibration method agree with a traceable measurement made using instrumented indentation [1]. |

Quilt Ta Da
When I came up with a plan it went great-the plan took a long time to come forth is all. I have another one to go on the frame today. Already have a design for it so it will be a quick quilt.
This is a fun experiment. I admired these wispy tall grasses at a friend's so she snipped off the tops and instructed me to put them in a vase of water upside down and just wait for them to grow. I know my face reflected my doubt but I did it just the way she said. Look-I have two out of three that have put out a new plant! It took about a month to see results so I almost gave up-so glad I didn't !
I have the first bag done on the new warp-the purply one!

The quilt looks great! Congratulations on another finished project!! I love the house in the center panel.
That's kind of cool that you planted the grass upside down, and it still grew. I guess that makes sense for a tall grass in the wild. If it falls over, it can re-grow.
You were right that the purple bags would make a great weft. Very nice.

"I remember thinking, 'Wow, what a difference one month makes,' " Sherman said. The other baby reached out his arms and kicked his legs, while Wendell curled up in a fetal position. "There were moments up there when I was like, well, shouldn't he be grabbing things? He just didn't have the strength to hold anything."
By his six-month checkup, her fears were confirmed. Wendell couldn't hold his head up when he was pulled to a sitting position. The doctor referred him to a specialist, who referred him to a neurologist. At that point, Sherman said, "I just broke down crying."
A battery of tests, from MRIs of his brain and spine to a biopsy of his thigh muscle, turned up nothing.
For the family, there were only more questions. Would he grow out of it? Learn to talk? Learn to walk?
"Nobody knew," his mother said. "You're in this netherworld of just not knowing how to think."
That isn't unusual when it comes to children with developmental delays, said Dr. Peter Karachunski, Wendell's physician and a pediatric neurologist at the university. "Sometimes it's easy to answer the question, and sometimes it's quite difficult."
Wendell's case turned out to be particularly challenging, he said. Unlike some conditions that can be traced to a single genetic defect, the little boy's symptoms could be caused by many. "So we're kind of stuck right now," Karachunski said.
That's why he suggested the gene sequencing test.
Detective work
The test concentrates on about 3 percent of the human genome where "most genetic diseases and most mutations tend to fall," says Matt Bower, a genetic counselor at the university. That area is known as the exome, he said. "It's the most likely place to find mutations."
The test relies on massive computer power to winnow down the suspects, combing through millions of snippets of DNA. "It's like when you're looking for a murder suspect," Bower said, "you're looking at people with a criminal history vs. just going door to door."
The whole process takes about 15 weeks and costs about $7,000, said Eng, who oversees Baylor's medical genetics lab. One reason it takes so long, she said, is that there's a lot of interpretation. The results are rarely clear-cut — they may turn up genetic variations that have nothing to do with Wendell's condition. "We have to determine which results are clinically relevant and which ones are not," she said. "It becomes almost like a puzzle."
So far, Baylor has run about 1,100 of these tests, with a success rate of 26 percent, she said, meaning only one in four cases comes up with a likely diagnosis.
Even then, the answer only rarely the points the way to a new treatment, she said. More often, it just puts a name to the condition. But that, she said, "is very important to families, and it's important for physicians, too." So far, only about a dozen patients at the University of Minnesota have had the test, according to Bower.
Wendell's parents know there's a good chance they still won't have an answer when the test is done. In some ways, Sherman said, "it really doesn't matter." Her son is getting therapy to strengthen his muscles and help him communicate, and the family is adapting: they've started an online fundraiser, called "Wheels for Wendell," to buy a handicapped-accessible van.
"In an ideal world, I guess I would love an ultimate prognosis," Sherman said. "To be honest, I'm not expecting answers," she added. "Whatever they do find, if they find anything, will be very rare."

Two new frogs discovered in Panama amidst amphibian plague
Jeremy Hancemongabay.com
June 06, 2010

Both frogs were discovered while researchers searched for frog populations in chytridiomycosis-infected areas. The highly contagious disease chytridiomycosis has devastated frog species worldwide and is believe to be at least in part responsible for some 100 extinctions of amphibians.
"We are working as hard as we can to find and identify frogs before the disease reaches them, and to learn about a disease that has the power to ravage an entire group of organisms," said Roberto Ibanez in a press release. Ibanez is a research scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and local director of the Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project.
Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project is a program involving eight institutions working together to capture and collect healthy frogs in infected areas. The frogs will be bred in captivity as insurance policies against increasing extinctions.
Yet, the two new species prove that even in the midst of a full-scale amphibian plague, Panama still contains many surprises for herpetologists.
The new species from Omar Torrijos National Park named Pristimantis educatoris resembles a common frog, but larger. Round finger and toe pads proved it to be a different and unknown species.
The other new frog was discovered in Panama's Darien Province. Dubbed Pristimantis adnus, the species name is a Latinized version of the Spanish terms for DNA, which is AND.
"We chose this name to underscore the usefulness of genetic techniques as we identify these new frog species and determine the relationships between tropical frogs that may look very similar," explains Andrew Crawford, professor at University of the Andes and research associate with STRI.
Currently 197 frogs are known from Panama and Costa Rica, approximately 4 percent of the world's frogs. According to the IUCN Red List, one third of the world's amphibians are threatened with extinction.

World's 'number one frog' faces extinction from New Zealand government
(05/26/2010) Archey's frog is a survivor: virtually unchanged evolutionarily for 150 million years, the species has survived the comet that decimated the dinosaurs, the Ice Age, and the splitting of continents. Seventy million years ago New Zealand broke away from Australia, essentially isolating Archey's frog and its relatives from all predatory mammals. Yet, if the New Zealand government has its way this species may not survive the century, let alone the next few decades. The New Zealand government has put forward a controversial proposal to begin opening three of the nation's protected areas to mining: Great Barrier Island, Paparoa National Park, and Coromandel Peninsula where the last populations of Archey's frogs live. According to critics, the government's proposal could push Archey's frog toward extinction, while negatively impacting a number of other endangered species, beloved wild lands, and a nation driven by tourism.
Photos: Madagascar's wonderful and wild frogs, an interview with Sahonagasy
(03/03/2010) To save Madagascar's embattled and beautiful amphibians, scientists are turning to the web. A new site built by herpetologists, Sahonagasy, is dedicated to gathering and providing information about Madagascar's unique amphibians in a bid to save them from the growing threat of extinction. "The past 20 years have seen resources wasted because of a poor coordination of efforts," explains Miguel Vences, herpetologist and professor at the Technical University of Braunschweig. "Many surveys and reports have been produced that were never published, many tourists found and photographed amphibians but these photos were not made available to mapping projects, many studies carried out by Malagasy students did not make use of literature because it was not available."
Common pesticide changes male frogs into females, likely devastating populations
(03/01/2010) One of the world's most popular pesticides, atrazine, chemically castrates male frogs and in some instances changes them into completely functionally females, according to a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The authors conclude that atrazine likely plays a large, but unsuspected role in the current global amphibian crisis.

There's still one aspect of Rita's question that remains a mystery. When we say that we "allow" the client to vent, are we implying that we've invited the person to engage in this activity, or are we talking about our reaction to the client when he or she decides to engage in this activity of his or her own volition? This, I think, is a crucial distinction. Inviting a client to vent seems like a pretty serious deviation from CT norms, and would require an equally serious reason to justify it. On the other hand, if a client starts venting in the middle of the session, that would seem to be a symptom of a poor therapuetic alliance, rather than a way of strengthening it. After all, how strong could the sense of collaboration be if the client feels free to break the agenda without discussing it with the therapist? The article linked to in the previous post was most informative, and I think there is a passage that relates to this situation: Third, take my concerns seriously. Don't minimize them, ignore my pain, or brush me off as a hysterical patient. If I bring a problem or idea up for discussion, don't dismiss it as unimportant. It is discouraging to get the impression that you think I am being silly or that I want to feel bad. If you brush me off, I may think you don't want to take the time to understand my problem and that you may not provide adequate treatment. Let's suppose that a client has begun venting in mid-session. How would you put the brakes on this activity in a way that's keeping with the above excerpt? I think it's pretty safe to assume that if a client has decided to vent in this way, he or she is already pretty emotionally excited, and a logical explanation of CT practice (sticking to the agenda, agreeing on session activities, etc.) would strike them as dismissive. You are the driver, what would you do? :)

DETROIT -- When I was a kid, there was a monster that lived under my bed. Right before I would look under the bed, he would move into the closet, but he was always there. Sometime later in life, he moved out or maybe my behavior in my 20s scared him away.
I dont think this is the same monster Ben Hogan was referring to when he won the 1951 U.S. Open at Oakland Hills. After shooting 5 under to win his second consecutive U.S. Open (the playoff at Merion was the year before), Hogan said, I am glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees. You will hear this reference often throughout the week.
Ironically, there was speculation after the event that the committee at Oakland Hills set the course up shorter on Sunday -- making the fairway bunkers avoidable off the tee. That U.S. Open was the last where the USGA allowed the host club to set up the course. Since then, the monster evolved with the times; but the footprint is unchanged, and its diabolical putting surfaces are exactly as Donald Ross devilish imagination shaped them.
At the hand of Rees Jones, Oakland Hills was fed new life following the U.S. Amateur in 2002. A dashing young player out of the University of Arizona named Ricky Barnes tamed the monster with graphite and titanium-launching drives that sailed beyond hungry bunkers and flipping wedges to greens designed to greet and dismiss mid-irons. Tom Meeks, the director of competition for the USGA, implored the powers that be at Oakland Hills to bring the course up to modern standards.
When Donald Ross original design was opened in 1918, he left room around the property for new tees to be built and the golf course to be lengthened. At its current configuration of 7,395 yards and playing to a par of 70, Oakland Hills has been given a new set of teeth. The fairway bunkers that Ricky Barnes and his contemporaries were air-mailing are firmly back in the landing area for the best players of the day.
If Oakland Hills was a cookie monster in 2002 for the U.S. Amateur, the course is a snarling Titleist-starved beast for the 90th PGA Championship. The players are saying it is one of the toughest venues theyve ever seen. So in that regard, it has certainly maintained -- with a little help -- its traditional characteristics in the era of modern golf. Hogan also said after his 1951 U.S. Open victory that Oakland Hills was, the greatest test of golf that I have ever played, and the toughest.
That sentiment more than anything else will have the players tip-toeing around OaklandHills this week. Good shots will be satisfying, and great shots will be rewarded, but any shots hit in anger or haste will awaken the monster and bring nocturnal demons to the light of day.
The teeth of the monster just may live in the shortest holes at Oakland Hills -- although to call the par 3s here short is a bit of a misnomer. Nos. 9 and 17 both will instill fear and likely will require a club that bears a head cover to be employed. The ninth can stretch to a massive 257 yards, and No. 17 plays 238 yards uphill into the prevailing breeze. The other two par 3s measure just under 200 yards and require long irons. If you can play the par 3s here this week in even par or better, you just might avoid the monsters bite.
Hell still be nipping at your heels all the way around, though. Often it is not the figurative golf course monsters that can be the most daunting to overcome. The monster that lurks in those corners of our minds, whose roar drowns out rational thought and whose snarl causes bogeys to turn into doubles and triples, comes alive at major championships.
The winner of this years PGA Championship will have to battle the monster golf course and the internal demons of the highest competition. And maybe, just maybe, he will have to sleep with the lights on.

It was a solid day for stocks today, as the Dow (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) and the broader S&P 500 Index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC ) both advanced 0.6%. The S&P 500 achieved a new five-year high, but financials didn't play along -- they were the only losing sector today. In fact, JPMorgan and Bank of America (NYSE: BAC ) were two of the three worst-performing stocks in the S&P 500, declining 0.8% and 4.2%, respectively. (Unsurprisingly, then, they were the worst performing Dow components.)
Why banks didn't play ball
Both B of A and Citigroup (NYSE: C ) reported earnings today. The results were not well received; as mentioned above, B of A shares fell 4.2%; meanwhile, Citi shares lost 2.9%. As one New York money manager told Bloomberg:
Both organizations are, for lack of a better word, somewhat lost. [They] have been spending a significant amount of time dealing with the problems of the past rather than aggressively marketing the organizations.
I suspect this view is relatively popular among professional investors, who find it convenient to conflate the two companies' positions, performance, and prospects. (How's that for alliteration?) A reductive model of the universal banks has J.P. Morgan in a league of its own, completely separate from the second tier made up of B of A and Citi, which are still floundering.
Of course, the notion that this view is widely held is merely a hypothesis, and one that is difficult, at that. But if it is true, I think that part of the decline in B of A's stock is attributable to that of Citi's. You might retort: Why, then, would the former fall harder than the latter? Good question, but I think the recent relative performance of the two shares may help to answer it:
As the graph clearly shows, B of A shares have dusted Citi's over the three-month period ended yesterday, while both have smashed the broad market. In other words, on the heels of a strong run-up in their stock prices, B of A had further to fall than Citi.
You may have guessed that I don't share the view that B of A and Citi are similar organizations. Keep in mind, variant perception is a potential source of opportunity -- assuming it is correct.

2002 Annual Water Level Raw Data Report for Kansas
Prev Page--Executive Summary || Next Page--Conclusions
A field crew from the KGS acquired data from 495 wells in 15 western Kansas counties during January 2002 (Figure 2). The measurement technique and overall responsibilities associated with the 2002 annual water level measurement program were completely consistent with previous years' acquisition activities of both the USGS and KGS (Miller, 1996; Miller, Davis, and Olea, 1997; Olea, 1997; Miller, Davis, and Olea, 1998; Miller and Davis, 1999; Miller, Davis, and Laflen, 2000; Laflen and Miller, 2001). Prior to 2001, data acquisition was accomplished during two field periods with the first (primary) extending approximately from January 3 to January 9, with the second about a week later. During primary acquisition, each well was visited and data collected (water level below ground surface, well condition, GPS, photograph, well characteristics, and general observational notes). New in 2001, enhancement/replacement wells were located and measured during the primary visit as well as all the Quality Assurance (QA), Quality Control (QC), and missing (MIA) wells. The secondary acquisition, designed to finish the measurement of QA, QC, and other missing wells, was incorporated into the primary acquisition campaign for 2001, thus removing the need for a "clean up" or secondary trip. In 2002, difficult-to-measure or initially inaccessible wells have been visited multiple times by several individuals, usually within 24 hours of the initial suspect reading, thus giving a more timely comparison of individual results and a better understanding of potentially problematic areas. All raw data acquired by the KGS on the annual water level measurement program were compiled, digitally stored, and available for widespread circulation in their raw, unprocessed form (digital and/or analog) on or about March 1, 2002. This section represents a summary of all KGS activity related to the raw data, acquisition activities, and technique development.

The 2002 measurement trip was completed in 5 days by a crew of six people (with a seventh picking up problem wells and measuring new wells). Each person was equipped with a vehicle, computer, GPS, cellular phone, field notes, steel measuring tape, and associated supplies. The far northwestern counties (Cheyenne, Sherman, Thomas, and Wallace) were completed the first day, requiring an overnight stay in Syracuse. The second day of measurements ended in Garden City and saw the completion of two counties (Hamilton and Kearny). The third field day ended in Liberal with three counties finished (Finney, Haskell, and Grant). The fourth day ended in Dodge City, with three more counties (Stevens, Seward, and Meade) completed. The crew returned to Lawrence on the fifth day after completing four more counties (Gray, Ford, Hodgeman, and Ness).
During the primary acquisition trip the six crew members were divided into three teams. Each team was responsible for 28 to 42 wells per day along predesignated closed routes. Each day's route was designed so team members would meet along the route after all wells were visited. This method balanced workloads by compensating for different degrees of measurement difficulty (different lengths of time are necessary to measure individual wells), insured that no wells were overlooked during the primary measurement trip, and minimized the number of miles traveled per well and route. Distribution of crew members and routes was designed to insure that no crew member was more than 15 to 20 miles from another crew member. This increased safety and minimized the time necessary to complete a county. Once a team completed its route, the other teams were contacted to determine if assistance was necessary to complete all routes prior to sunset. After a team completed its route and fulfilled any requests for assistance, they proceeded to a pre-designated motel. Approximately 11,500 miles were logged during the measurement trip with the average crew member visiting 17 wells per day and spending about 15 minutes at each well and about 25 minutes traveling from well to well.
QC/MIA/QA Wells
Prior to 2001 the QC/MIA/QA/enhancement well trip required a minimum of two days for two people to complete. In 2001 the QC/MIA/QA/enhancement data acquisition was incorporated into the primary trip, thus eliminating the second trip and adding to the overall program efficiency. The QC accomplished during the primary trip was designed to remeasure wells classified as out of trend during primary acquisition. The 2002 QC water level re-measurement included wells in all counties. These wells were selected based on the following criteria:
The QA acquisition provided repeat measurement data for the purpose of statistical appraisal of measurement error. Fifty-one wells, or about 10% of all the wells measured by the KGS during 2002, were randomly selected by computer for re-measurement.
Again this year, an attempt was made to fill some of the spatially under-sampled areas within the network (Olea, 2001). To fully sample the High Plains Aquifer from water level data, 13 new well sites were needed. Input from the GMDs, DWR, and KGS identified 13 wells in areas that are spatially undersampled and that have sufficient historical and construction data to justify an attempted measurement. From those 13 candidate wells, 12 were sampled during 2002 as new annual network wells. The selection and measurement of these enhancement wells is critical to establishing a method for maintaining the health and continuity of the network through the insertion of new wells to replace unusable wells already in the network.
Well and Measurement Point Information
A few key well characteristics have been compiled for general information and incorporation into efforts to improve and maximize the network. Statistics and characteristics for DWR wells are also included.

Network Continuity
An uninterrupted historical record is important for trend determination and analysis. Significant efforts were made to acquire measurements in all wells regardless of whether the well had been successfully measured in any of the last three years. Wells with problems that were not likely to improve between measurement years were identified by each measurer and then cross-checked by the QC measurer. If both visitors indicate that a well needs to be removed from the network, it generally is dropped from the next year's list of annual measurement wells. A total of 15 wells were flagged by KGS field personnel during the 2002 acquisition season.

To maintain the long-term health and continuity of the network, both wells that should be replaced and acceptable replacements should be immediately identified. Field observations are the most important and insightful method of identifying wells needing replacement; however, statistical quality control analysis has provided valuable insight into the reliability of network wells measured in 2002.
For a fourth year the KGS crews were deployed with acquisition software running on notebook PCs interfaced to GPS units. This system has been under development at the KGS for the last five years. It is designed to provide the measurer with historical data, warning messages in the event of an out-of-trend measurement or incorrect well location, automated depth-to-water calculations based on hold and cut, and real-time tracking and vehicle location displays. The system's primary focus is on insuring that the correct wells are measured and on enforcing complete well site documentation. The GPS units provide the associated computer with a tracking log, which permits time and location of each measurer to be determined throughout the day. During the 2002 measurement program the KGS crews logged over 11,500 miles in 5 days (Figure 3). GPS-measured latitudes and longitudes can be extracted from this log and used to improve the accuracy of well locations in WIZARD.
Figure 3--Example of tracking logs of measurers during the first 6 days
of the measurement program as recorded by the GPS/computer systems located in
each vehicle.
The raw data tabulated in this report are organized into five appendices. A brief discussion of the contents of each appendix follows.
Appendix A | Contains a summary of information for all wells measured by KGS. This appendix includes only county, well legal description (ID), and 2002 depth of water below ground surface (BGS). QA measurements (QA) are identified. |
Appendix B | The same information as Appendix A, but for DWR wells. |
Appendix C | Contains all measurements and characteristics taken at every well in the KGS portion of the network. Included are the following categories of informa-tion: County, legal description (ID), GPS Lat, GPS Long, hold point, cut line, measurement point (MP) elevation, 2002 depth to water BGS, initials of measurer, measuring agency, and all comments. |
Appendix D | The same information as Appendix C, but for DWR wells. |
Appendix E | List by county of wells (legal description, ID) measured as part of the QA program. The list includes the primary measurement of DTW and the QA measurement of DTW. |
Appendix F | Contains the same information as Appendices C and D for all enhancement wells. |
A direct comparison of primary measurements and the QA measurements made by the KGS reveals important information about the accuracy and repeatability of information in the database (Appendix E). In general, the time separation between the primary and QA measurements is less than 24 hours in all cases, and often the same day. This re-measure information, along with parts of the primary data, are integral to quality control discussions documented in subsequent sections of this report.
KGS Data Acquisition Summary
In summary, this year's effort by the KGS staff to acquire annual water level measurements met or exceeded most expectations. Based on preliminary analysis:
1) Systematic errors are an important indicator of erratic wells that should be removed from the network to insure that the network is accurate and that confidence can be placed in the data (see Davis, 2002).
2) More data have been acquired in each of the last six years (1997-2002) than in the previous 7 years (1990-1996).
3) The availability of digital and analog measurement data (for entire network) to DWR, KGS Geohydrology staff, and GMDs has been dramatically improved over years prior to 1997. These data will be provided on CD-ROM.
4) Field acquisition time has been reduced (2002 and 2001 required 5 days; 2000 and 1999 required 5.5 days; 1998 required 6.5 days; 1997 required 8 days); the historical average of time required for field data collection has been about 2 months.
5) Long-term improvements to the network and database are being made.
6) The total program costs for 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002 were about 75% of 1998 and 1997, which were both consistent with the amount paid to the USGS in 1996 to complete this study. When calculated using an equivalent* product, the cost to the Kansas Survey for the 1997 and 1998 water level data is about half that assessed by the USGS in 1996 and less than one-third of the USGS 1996 costs for the 1999 acquisition season. [*Equivalent product cost does not include extra program activities such as QA or QC data acquisition, analysis, or computer and GPS equipment.]
Development of a Kansas water well database was undertaken by the KGS in an attempt to make information quickly and easily accessible to the general public about water wells, both those that are part of the annual network and many that are not. This database will hopefully provide quick and accurate information about potential replacement or enhancement candidates throughout the State. At the present time this database is still under development, but should be fully operational by next field season. The database, by design, will include all significant information contained in the USGS's GWSI database, the KGS's KIWI database, and the KGS's WaterWitch database. It is the intent of the database's designers to incorporate portions of DWR's WRIS, KDHE's WWC5, City of Wichita, and each of the five GMDs' water well databases. Once this database, named WIZARD, is complete it should contain the most inclusive listing anywhere of information on water wells in Kansas. It is the intent that frequent uploads from each of the parent databases will insure that information in the database is current.

The Tablas Creek Vineyard Côtes de Tablas is a blend of four estate-grown Rhône varietals: Grenache Syrah, Mourvèdre and Counoise. Like most wines of the Southern Rhône, it is a blend of varietals, featuring the fruitiness of Grenache balanced by the meatiness of Mourvèdre and the spice and structure of Syrah. The 2003 Côtes de Tablas is Tablas Creek's fourth release of its Côtes de Tablas red blend, made in the style of a full-throttle Côtes du Rhône.
The grapes for our Côtes de Tablas were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The 2003 vintage was tremendous: warm and sunny, with cool nights that prolonged the hangtime of the grapes and led to wines with excellent acidity. A relatively early flowering, combined with a warm but not overly hot summer produced unusually long hangtime, and grapes with concentrated flavors and a distinct minerality. Our first lots of Syrah came in on September 18th, followed by Grenache on September 25th, and Counoise and Mourvèdre both on October 8th. The beautiful fall weather allowed us to bring in fruit when it was at peak ripeness, and allow other blocks to continue to mature. The harvest continued through October, with the last lot of Mourvèdre safely in the cellar on October 29th.
All varietals were fermented in stainless steel with the use of native yeasts: the Syrah in open-top fermenters, punched down manually, and the other varietals in closed fermenters with pump-over aeration. After pressing, the wines were racked, blended, aged for a year in 1200-gallon French oak foudres, and then bottled in June 2004. The wines underwent only a light filtration before bottling.
The 2003 Côtes de Tablas is a rich, spicy wine, with a juicy, meaty nose of rare steak, pepper and blueberry. The flavors are juicy and rich, with ripe tannins and a finish laced with licorice.
Updated tasting notes from a September 2011 tasting can be found on the Tablas Creek blog.

Riding Across AMERICA
Sunday, June 28th, 2009I'm taking a little break from filming this summer to ride across the U. S. of A. So far so good, besides the average 85 mile days we have had. Yesterday riding from Philly to Baltimore was brutal because of all the rolling hills. I managed to get through it all, and down one hill i hit 44.6mph, which i thought was insane. When i told a couple of my fellow riders they all had the same question, "I wonder what your rpm was?". We calculated it and it turned out that at one point it was 205RPM!
