Heel Honor Roll - Mark Henry, founder and curator of the Hall of Pain
Every great hero needs a villain, and Heel Honor Roll is a column in which we take a look at some of the most effective heels in the business from history and today. Each week we'll discuss one of the many miscreants, jerks, and all around bad guys that we have (at least at some point) come to love in wrestling, and examine how they got doing wrong so very right.
"You didn't believe, did you? You didn't believe that I would be holding the most coveted prize in professional wrestling, did you?!? " - Mark Henry, Night of Champions 2011
The now infamous hand might as well have been shooting a middle finger at Mark Henry when it emerged from underneath Mae Young's blanket. Months of "Sexual Chocolate" finally had been reduced to nothing but meaningless, inexplicable silliness.
Over a four year career, Mark Henry's character had progressed from strongman devoid of personality to strongman devoid of personality who is black, and now he was at the bottom of a storyline spiral that involved sexual addiction, transvestite love affairs, and now, at the absolute nadir of it all, a slime-covered hand popping out of Mae Young. It was the clearest sign yet of the WWE's bafflement as to what they should do with the four year veteran. Henry had both the substantial bona fides and the stylistic form of an unstoppable monster, but he hadn't demonstrated any ability to connect with fans on either a visceral or humorous level. He lacked the ass-kicking fire of a Stone Cold or Rock but also couldn't muster the comic ability of a Mick Foley or Goldust. What the fans were left with was a mass to obviously powerful to be ignored but nowhere near impactful enough to merit our attention.
This led to the fairly unique step of removing Mark Henry from television without firing him, sending him down to former developmental territory OVW in an apparent acknowledgement that his failure was as much the WWE's fault as it was the wrestler's. For almost two years, Henry trained and was retooled.
When he reemerged in 2002 as an angry force of nature who could (with comical frequency) rip cages open to attack the wrestlers inside, something still wasn't quite right. The goofy comic relief and smiles were thankfully gone, but the newfound menace wasn't connecting, credible as it may have been.
"Oh and don't start cheering. Don't start cheering, because none of you believed it either! You're all doubters! You're all haters!" - Mark Henry, Night of Champions 2011
The hand was to blame, or at least the ingrained legacy for which the hand stood. Six years had passed during which Mark Henry was either bland, silly, or absent, and now the fans were expected to believe that this power, which had been there without great effect for years, was suddenly unstoppable? It didn't make sense for the same reason that people yell "Albert" at Tensai; you can't erase your history. We were all there to witness it.
We saw fourth billing in the Nation of Domination; we saw Sexual Chocolate; we saw The Hand. It all happened, and to deny that it happened was no less awkward than all the strange missteps of the past themselves. Coupled with continued bad luck with injuries, Mark Henry's career seemed destined to be swallowed alive by his inability to escape history. He would inevitably make failed comeback, then get released to perform as Sexual Chocolate in TNA and subsequent indy events for the rest of his career…except something amazing happened. Somewhere along the line, Mark Henry stopped trying to escape his history of failure, and instead made it his home.
"I'd like to welcome all of you to the Hall of Pain." - Mark Henry, Night of Champions 2011
The tipping point of all of this was the feud with Big Show in 2011. Suddenly, there was a nasty edge to everything Mark Henry did. The power had an element of malice, and the pain caused appeared to be the victory in and of itself. When Mark Henry crushed Big Show's leg in a steel chair at Money In the Bank in 2011, he had already won; this display was pure spectacle, the driving force behind Henry's "Hall of Pain". Having stated his goal of demolishing the locker room, Henry's power now had purpose, making it dangerous and compelling to watch.
Henry's underrated match against Sheamus at Summerslam in 2011 furthered the growing legend, when Henry beat Sheamus so badly outside of the ring that Sheamus couldn't muster the strength to reenter the ring, losing by countout. Again, here the victory for Henry was not in the win or the loss, but in the demonstration that he could completely annihilate his opponent.
"This is my moment, and I'm not sharing it with none of you! You don't deserve this!" - Mark Henry, Night of Champions 2011
Yet if the feuds with Show and Sheamus transformed the nature of Henry's serious power into something believable, his feud with Randy Orton for the World Heavyweight title gave it pathos and purpose. In a strikingly honest segment of "The Cutting Edge" on Smackdown, Edge and Orton raised the question of whether or not Mark Henry simply couldn't win the big one. Essentially, they were calling him a bust, and instead of denying the past, Henry acknowledged and accepted it.
Yes, his career had been a disappointment, and nobody was more disappointed in all of it than Mark Henry himself, and that disappointment fed the anger that Henry had ridden all the way to his upcoming World Heavyweight Championship match. The insecurity felt real, and from a storytelling perspective it explained everything we had seen (and would subsequently see) from Henry's wonderful work establishing the "Hall of Pain".
It culminated in the apex of Henry's career at Night of Champions in 2011. After an excellent back and forth matchup, Henry defeated Orton, took the title, and cut a blistering promo in which he explicitly refused to let anyone else share the moment with him. Henry's lawless violence was somehow justified, in his own mind, by becoming what nobody thought he could be, and rather than savor the joy of the moment he was intent on turning it on all of us like a flamethrower.
Watching emotions so small come from someone so big was absolutely stunning, and struck an emotional chord that heels in the WWE had never hit up until that point. Mark Henry, from 2011 on, is a fascinating study of how insecure the most powerful men can be, and how that insecurity can, rather than crippling their power, simultaneously enhance it even and turn it into something vicious and ugly. The Cutting Edge with Orton hinted at what the promo at Night of Champions confirmed: Mark Henry is driven to chase dominance by a desire to erase his history, and he is now, as a result, consumed by that history. Night of Champions was reminiscent of Michael Jordan's infamously bitter NBA Hall of Fame induction speech; we were watching someone whose talents and accomplishments were undeniable reveal a deep-seated insecurity that was unworthy of their accomplishments, tarnishing their significance by revealing the petty, selfish motivations that birthed them.
This is, of course, the problem with insecurity as a motivator; the ultimate victory never comes, because no victory can ever erase the past that created the insecurity. The result is Mark Henry's joyless, angry celebration at Night of Champions. Indeed, Mark Henry is the villain precisely because his victories bring no joy with them, only more rage, more unsatisfied bitterness.
The well of insecurity that he hopes to drain is only found to run more and more deep with each achievement, and the cycle continues. Our hatred of Mark Henry's character is rooted in pity over what he has become, what our indifference made him. When he refused to let the fans share in his World Heavyweight Championship victory, it was as much for his own protection as it was for their shame.
He can't let us in anymore, because deep in the foundation of the Hall of Pain is the past that Henry is desperately afraid of us rediscovering and mocking. In his desperation to make us forget that past, he'll keep piling accomplishments, carnage, and bodies on top of it until we do.

Welcome to the District 14 – City of Lake Worth website. I am Captain Rolando Silva, and it is my distinct privilege to serve as the Law Enforcement Commander of Lake Worth. I have been with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office since 1990, and it is my honor to lead the District 14 Team in protecting and serving the residents of Lake Worth.
It is the goal of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office to ensure Lake Worth is a safe place to work and live and we are always striving for better ways to accomplish this objective. Currently, District 14 is staffed by 80 sworn law enforcement deputies and 7 non-sworn employees. Our District services the City of Lake Worth which encompasses over 5.5 square miles and has more than 36,000 residents. The Community Policing philosophy is strongly embraced by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office and our Sheriff, Ric Bradshaw. The Sheriff's Office cannot do it alone though, and that is why it is important for you, the city's residents, to partner with us in addressing crime and quality of life issues within the City. It is our aim to establish and maintain a "team" concept with the community in order to identify and resolve issues while allowing the Sheriff's Office to provide the highest level of professional law enforcement service possible.
In the effort to expand the Community Policing model that we value at the Sheriff's Office, we have divided the City of Lake Worth into five sectors. Subsequently, deputies and supervisors who are assigned to the sectors have "ownership" of any community issues that may arise in their assigned sectors. These individuals are true professionals who are your Community Policing Deputies. If you have not already, please take the time to stop and speak with them - build a relationship with your Sector Deputy so that together we can make a real difference in our community!
Thank you for visiting our website. We look forward to our continued partnership in community excellence.
Best regards,
Captain Rolando Silva, Esq.

The famous temple of Lord Shiva attracts lakhs of devotees in the month of Shravan every year
BHUBANESWAR: Braving torrential rains thousands of bol bom pilgrims have started congregating here on Sunday evening to pour holy water in 11th-century-old Lord Lingaraj Temple.
The queues have begun to grow longer around the temple with devotees getting prepared to spend hours together for completing the journey on the auspicious day of Monday. There were bol bom pilgrims all over the roads leading to Lingaraj Temple. Reason behind the sudden rush of devotees can be attributed to solar eclipse that will take place on August 1 and many believe the week consequent to the celestial event is "inauspicious."
The famous temple of Lord Shiva attracts lakhs of devotees in the month of Shravan every year. And this year was no exception. "I came by train from Berhampur to Cuttack. From Gadgadia ghat of the millennium city, I drew the holy water and now I'm on my way to Lingaraj temple," Papun Nayak said.
Although the painful barefoot journey had taken out the energy from Suresh Rout from Kendrapara district, he gained strength from his strong faith on the Lord Shiva. Suresh was ready to wait in queue for another 12 hours to have darshan of Lord.
This year participation of the woman pilgrims appeared to have increased compared to previous years. Several women and girls had accompanied their fellow villagers from remote areas of Kendrapara, Jagatsinghpur, Jajpur, Khurda and Nayagarh to this temple city.
Some of the bol bom pilgrims were very experienced in the annual pilgrimage. "For last seven years, I have been undertaking the journey. I am now used to the pain of walking long distance," Malay Swain from Jagatsinghpur district said.
Ironically there were some devotees who were walking a long distance on behalf of others. Rains that had been lashing the State since Sunday morning failed to deter these devotees to give up their journey in the middle.

District nixes free lunches in wealthy areas
San Diego Unified adds another site in City Heights
The San Diego Unified School District has removed two more schools in affluent areas from its list of free summer lunch program sites after The Watchdog raised questions about eligibility.
Officials added one more site in a lower-income area — City Heights Wellness Center — after removing the more affluent locales.
The Watchdog first reported that San Diego Unified and Grossmont Union High school districts had selected several schools for the federal "Seamless Summer Lunch Program" that did not appear to fit the need requirements.
Because taxpayers are funding the meals, the U.S. Department of Agriculture requires that they be served only on campuses where 50 percent or more students qualify during the school year for free or reduced meals.
San Diego Unified responded initially by removing La Jolla High School from the list of sites where any student, regardless of income, could eat free breakfast, lunch and snacks.
A district official on Friday said Hage and Miramar Ranch elementaries — in Mira Mesa and Scripps Ranch, respectively — have now been removed from the list. The state Department of Education instructed the district to make meals served at the sites available to only those who qualify during the school year.
"Even though technically we believed they could have been approved, the state asked us to please just use the national school lunch program," said Pam Kowalski, a district food services financial analyst who coordinates the summer program. "So these sites won't be open to the community."
The district's actions come as USDA officials said this week that they would be looking into whether San Diego and Grossmont Union High School districts used sites that were ineligible for the program. There is no timetable as to when federal officials will complete their inquiry, a USDA spokeswoman said.
"We are working with the California Department of Education ... and the sponsoring organizations to address any questions with site locations," USDA officials said in a prepared statement.
Critics said taxpayer dollars should not be spent in communities where there is no real need for the program, and that free meals should be restricted to the students who qualify under federal income guidelines.
"I think that's great, I am glad the issue was brought up," said Tamara Kelleher, a parent whose son did not have a sixth grade promotion ceremony due to district budget cuts. "It doesn't sound like they thought their expansion plans through very well."
The summer meal program has grown over recent years, in part because of the use of schools in wealthier areas. San Diego Unified served 250,000 meals at 50 schools and city parks two years ago. Last year, it was 270,000 at 55 sites. This year, the district is hosting the program at 64 schools and parks.
The USDA pays school districts $2.72 for every lunch served during the summer, so they reap hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal reimbursement. Districts can pocket any money they are reimbursed above their costs, although they say it's marginal.

Gilroy Up Front?
The Rangers, with Roszival back and Gaborik out just short term, will shortly have to make a tough decision on which player to sit but there is nothing that says the player that has to sit must be a defenceman just because Roszival has returned. The truth is, for the large part, Gilroy, Eminger and Mike Sauer all deserve to stay in the line up as all three have raised their games after indifferent starts and all three bring useful elements to a club that needs to squeeze every single bit of efficiency out of the line up when they can. So what not try Matt Gilroy at forward?
With Boogaard unable to stay healthy on a consistent basis and with the fourth line changing at regular intervals it would be prudent to try Matt Gilroy as a checking forward and try and utilise one of his great tools; his speed. The Rangers lower forward lines need to play physical get the puck in deep and play strong along the boards to be effective. Chipping the puck in and having a speedster like Gilroy go after it could be an effective plan. What it also does is allow Gilroy to develop another important aspect that his games needs and that is physical play. While it has improved since playing regularly it goes without saying that Gilroy's game is not based on physicality. Getting him in the corners, getting him going in hard and fast will allow him to be better equipped to take hits and play along the boards should he ever find himself back on the blue line later in the season. Keeping Gilroy in the line up is also important for continuity. Since being re-inserted he has grown in confidence and his game can only realistically develop if he is playing. What he has done recently is re-establish some trade value (that had diminished greatly) and has given the Rangers genuine options, all good things. Now he can be effective and give the Blueshirts more options in another area, at forward.
One or None?
It's a topic for discussion that will be expanded on as the season continues but the recent play of Mike Sauer and Steve Eminger leads us to an interesting debate; who to keep come season's end; both, one or perhaps even none?
Mike Sauer has provided physicality, a defensive conscience and stability while Eminger has provided some strong physical play and has improved as the season has worn on, already providing excellent return for Aaron Voros. The problem is this; with Ryan McDonagh, Pavel Valentenko and Tomas Kundratek all flashing signs of promise at times in the AHL and with most of the NHL jobs already locked up next season (Staal, Girardi, Del Zotto are locks, Roszival is a likely returner) there could be another raft of difficult decisions ahead for management. At this stage both Sauer and Eminger look deserving of at least another year while Sauer has the advantage that he is a Rangers investment (a draft pick) while anything Eminger gave this year was always going to be a bonus but both players have certainly delivered beyond the relatively low expectancy levels. There is a genuine chance neither come back ,should a couple of the prospects really step up their development. Perhaps it's the fact that Sauer and Eminger are basically auditioning for a job next year (anywhere) that has lead to their impressive play? If that is the case the Rangers are benefiting from the healthy competition but looking ahead, don't get too attached to the defensive pair because it's unclear where their future likes for now.

GYNAECOLOGISTS and obstetricians from Fiji need to determine the best screening strategy for cervical cancer in the country.
This subject will be the focus of the second annual scientific conference in Nadi this weekend, hosted by the Fiji Obstetrics and Gynaecology Society.
And to assist in the matter Dr AiLing Tan, a gynaecological oncologist from Auckland, New Zealand, will be at the workshop to evaluate the best screening strategy.
"Cervical cancer is a serious challenge in Fiji and it is the most common cause for cancer deaths and affects relatively young women who are in the prime of their lives," a statement from the society said.
"This cancer is preventable and in many countries the disease is no longer a major health issue. Whilst the planned vaccination campaign is timely for Fiji, we will need to have strategies for early detection of precancerous lesions when the condition is easily treatable."
According to the organisation, another benefit of the screening program would be to detect cancer in its early stages, for which surgical treatment was available locally.
"If the woman presents when the disease is advanced, she would need radiotherapy and this is currently not available in Fiji."

Critical Essay by Margaret Atwood
Judging from a sampling of recent critical commentary on his collected Poems, Reaney's reputation is in [a slump] …; which is a shame. Any poet who has created an original body of work, especially one of such uniqueness, power, peculiarity and, sometimes, unprecedented weirdness as Reaney's deserves better treatment. A critic might begin by attempting to actually read the poems, as opposed to reading into them various philosophies and literary theories which the poet is assumed to have. If you start this way, with the actual poems, one of your first reactions will almost certainly be that there is nothing else like them.
I'd never before read most of the uncollected single poems,… so I was most intrigued by sections I, III and V of this volume. I was especially struck by the early appearance of a number of...

Percent of Patients Discharged to Community
During 2014, Mitchell Rehabilitation Hospital at North Bay admitted 426 patients for acute inpatient rehabilitation needs. The average age of our patients was higher when compared to patients in both the Southeast part of the country, as well as the nation as a whole. Seventy-six and a half percent of our patients were able to return back to a community setting (home or ALF) and twelve and a half percent were discharged to acute care for a higher level of medical management. Our average FIM™ change, which is an objective measure of functional improvement used by all acute inpatient rehabilitation facilities, was thirty-one point three points.

The Astures or Asturs, also named 'Astyrs',[1] were the Hispano-Celtic[2][3] inhabitants of the northwest area of Hispania that now comprises almost the entire modern autonomous community of Asturias, the modern province of León, and the northern part of the modern province of Zamora (all in Spain), and east of Trás os Montes in Portugal. They were a horse-riding highland cattle-raising people who lived in circular huts of stone drywall construction.[4] The Albiones were a major tribe from western Asturias.[5] Isidore of Seville,[6] gave an etymology as coming from a river Asturia, identified by David Magie with the Órbigo in the plain of León, by others the modern Esla.
The Asturian homeland encompassed the modern autonomous community of Asturias and the León, western Lugo, Orense, and northern Zamora provinces, along with the northeastern tip of the Portuguese region of Trás-os-Montes. Here they held the towns of Lancia (Villasabariego – León), Asturica (Astorga – León), Mons Medullius (Las Medulas? – León), Bergidum (Cacabelos, near Villafranca del Bierzo – León), Bedunia (Castro de Cebrones – León), Aliga (Alixa? – León), Curunda (Castro de Avelãs, Trás-os-Montes), Lucus Asturum (Lugo de Llanera – Asturias), Brigaetium (Benavente – Zamora), and Nemetobriga (Puebla de Trives – Orense), which was the religious center.
The Astures may have been part of the early Hallstatt expansion that left the Bavarian-Bohemian homeland and migrated into Gaul, some continuing over the mountains into Spain and Portugal.[4] By the 6th century BC, they occupied castros (hillforts), such as Coanna and Mohias near Navia on the coast of the Bay of Biscay.[4] From the Roman point-of-view, expressed in the brief remarks of the historians Florus, epitomising Livy, and Orosius[citation needed], the Astures were divided into two factions, following the natural division made by the alpine karst mountains of the Picos de Europa range: the Transmontani (located in the modern Asturias, "beyond"— that is, north of— the Picos de Europa) and Cismontani (located on the "near" side, in the modern area of León). The Transmontani, placed between the Navia River and the central massif of the Picos de Europa, comprised the Cabarci, Iburri, Luggones, Paesici, Paenii, Saelini, Vinciani, Viromenici, Brigaentini and Baedunienses; the Cismontani included the Amaci, Cabruagenigi, Lancienses, Lougei, Tiburi, Orniaci, Superatii, Gigurri, Zoelae and Susarri (which dwelled around Asturica Augusta, in the Astura river valley, and was the main Astur town in Roman times). Prior to the Roman conquest in the late 1st century BC, they were united into a tribal federation with the mountain-top citadel of Asturica (Astorga) as their capital.
Recent epigraphic studies suggest that they spoke a 'Q-Celtic' language akin to the neighbouring Gallaeci Lucenses and Braccarenses (see Gallaecia).[7] According to classic authors, their family structure was matrilineal, whereby the woman inherits the ownership of property. The Astures lived in hill forts, established in strategic areas and built with round walls in today's Asturias and the mountainous areas of León, and with rectangular walls in flatter areas, similarly to their fellow Galicians. Their warrior class consisted of men and women and both sexes were considered fierce fighters.[4]
Most of their tribes, like the Lugones, worshipped the Celtic god Lugh, and references to other Celtic deities like Taranis or Belenos still remain in the toponomy of the places inhabited by the Astures. They may have venerated the deity Busgosu.[4]
Way of life[edit]
The Astures were vigorous hunter-gatherer highlanders who raided Roman outposts in the lowlands; a reputation enhanced by ancient authors, such as Florus ("Duae validissmae gentes, Cantabriae et Astures, immunes imperii agitabant")[8] and Paulus Orosius ("duas fortissimas Hispaniae gentes"),[9] but archeological evidence confirms that they also engaged in stock-raising in mountain pastures, complemented by subsistence farming on the slopes and in the lower valleys. They mostly reared sheep, goats, a few oxen and a local breed of mountain horse famed in Antiquity, the Asturcon, which still exists today. According to Pliny the Elder,[10] these were small-stature saddle horses, slightly larger than ponies, of graceful walk and very fast, being trained for both hunting and mountain warfare.
During a large part of the year they used acorns as a staple food source, drying and powdering them and using the flour for a type of easily preserved bread; from their few sown fields that they had during the pre-Roman period, they harvested barley from which they produced beer (Zythos),[11] as well as wheat and flax. Due to the scarcity of their agricultural production, as well as their strong war-like character, they made frequent incursions into the lands of the Vaccaei, who had a much more developed agriculture. Lucan calls them "Pale seekers after gold" ("Asturii scrutator pallidus auri").[12]
The Astures entered the historical record in the late 3rd century BC, being listed amongst the Spanish mercenaries of Hasdrubal Barca's army at the battle of Metaurus River in 207 BC.[13][14] After the 2nd Punic War, their history is less clear. Rarely mentioned in the sources regarding the Lusitanian, Celtiberian or Roman Civil Wars of the 2nd and 1st centuries BC, they re-emerged from a relative obscurity just prior to the outbreak of the first Astur-Cantabrian war in the late 1st century BC.[15]
Led by the ex-mercenary General Gausón, the Astures joined forces with the Cantabri in an effort to forestall Emperor Augustus' all-out offensive to conquer the whole of the Iberian northwest, even backing an unsuccessful Vaccaei revolt in 29 BC.[8][16][17] The Campaign against the Astures and Cantabri tribes proved so difficult that it required the presence of the emperor himself to bolster the failing courage of the seven legions and one naval squadron involved.[4] The first Roman campaign against the Astures (the Bellum Asturicum), which commenced in the spring of 26 BC, was successfully concluded in 25 BC with the ceremonial surrender of Mons Medullus to Augustus in person, allowing the latter to return to Rome and ostentatiously close the gates of the temple of Janus that same year.[18] The reduction of the remaining Asture holdouts was entrusted to Publius Carisius, the Legate of Lusitania, who, after managing to trap the Asturian General Gauson and the remnants of his troops at the hillfort of Lancia, subsequently forced them to surrender when he threatened to set fire to the town.[19] The Astures were subdued by the Romans but were never fully conquered, and their tribal way of life changed very little.[4]
As far as the official Roman history was concerned, the fall of this last redoubt marked the conclusion of the conquest of the Asturian lands, which henceforth were included alongside Gallaecia and Cantabria into the new Transduriana Province. This was followed by the establishment of military garrisons at Castra Legio VII Gemina (León) and Petavonium (Rosinos de Vidriales – Zamora), along with colonies at Asturica Augusta (Astorga) and Lucus Asturum.
In spite of the harsh pacification policies implemented by Augustus, the Asturian country remained an unstable region subjected to sporadic revolts – often carried out in collusion with the Cantabri – and persistent guerrilla activity that kept the Roman occupation forces busy until the mid-1st century AD. New risings occurred in 24–22 BC (the 2nd Astur-Cantabrian War), in 20–18 BC (3rd Astur-Cantabrian 'War') – sparked off by runaway Cantabrian slaves returning from Gaul[20] – (both of which were brutally quashed by General Marcus Vispanius Agrippa)[21] and again in 16–13 BC when Augustus crushed the last joint Astur-Cantabrian rebellion.
Aggregated to the Hispania Tarraconensis province, the assimilation of the Asturian region into the Roman world was a slow and hazardous process, with its partially romanized people retaining the Celtic language, Religion and much of their ancient culture throughout the Roman Imperial period. This included their martial traditions, which enabled them to provide the Roman Army with auxiliary cavalry units (Alae), who participated in Emperor Claudius' invasion of Britain in AD 43–60. However, ephigraphic evidence in the form of an inscribed votive stele dedicated by a Primpilus Centurio of Legio VI Victrix decorated for bravery in action[22] confirms that the Astures staged a revolt in AD 54, prompting another vicious guerrilla war – unrecorded by the ancient sources – that lasted for fourteen years but the situation was finally calm around AD 68. Incredibly, they even enjoyed a brief revival during the Germanic invasions of the late 4th century AD, until being later overrun and absorbed by the Visigothic Kingdom in the early 6th century AD.
At a later date, in the beginning of the Reconquista period in the early Middle Ages, their name was preserved in the medieval Kingdom of Asturias and in the modern town of Astorga, León, whose designation still reflects its early Roman name of Asturica Augusta, the "Augustan settlement of the Astures".

BOULDER - Those who believe the old adage "Those who can't do - teach", have never met Bill Schmoker. The science teacher plans to travel to one of the most remote places on Earth -- for his students.
"It was one of the best phone calls I have gotten in a long time," Schmoker, earth sciences teacher at Centennial Middle School in Boulder, said. "National Geographic called up said, 'You want to go to Iceland and Greenland?' and my heart was in my throat."
Schmoker is one of 14 teachers nationwide awarded the National Geographic Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship. National Geographic will send him and the other educators to the Arctic Ocean aboard its research ship Explorer.
"I am coming up with ideas for how I can integrate it into my lesson plans," said Schmoker. "The ship has a lot of data-gathering ability."
Schmoker says starting the Arctic Ocean will be a gift since he is teaching his students about the impact of possible climate change.
"Whether it's just a neat bird I've seen over the weekend or going somewhere exotic like the Arctic, it really gets the kids' interests," said Schmoker. "When I can show them my own pictures, my own movies, talk about my own experiences, I think it personalizes it for them."
He also says this opportunity also him to bust that old adage 'teachers who can't'.
"It makes us feel very proud and we're really glad that it's one of our teachers from Centennial," said Emma Chow, 8th grade student. "It shows how Centennial is really out there and also trying to do these different things."
Schmoker will leave this summer for Iceland, where he will begin his two-week journey on the Arctic Ocean by re-tracing the steps of Viking explorers from the 10th Century.
"I think it helps (students) see not just me, but all of their teachers as real people, not just the adult in the classroom. But, hey, you're out in the world doing things," said Schmoker.

Naked Pamela Anderson May Grace Billboards
BEIJING (AP) — A naked Pamela Anderson will beckon from Chinese billboards in a new anti-fur campaign – if the former "Baywatch" star can get past the censors.
The posters, featuring the slogan "Give fur the cold shoulder" in English, show the 37-year-old actress topless with her back to the camera and an arm partly hiding her right breast.
An image of falling snow appears above Chinese characters reading "cold shoulders are nothing compared to the pain they feel" and "please don't wear fur."
China's straight-laced media regulators have yet to give the posters a green light, said Jason Baker, a Hong Kong-based spokesman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is promoting the anti-fur campaign.
"Depending on the censors, they may be concerned about it, but it's very tastefully done," Baker said. "We may end up having to crop (the photo) a bit."
China was the origin of 40 percent of all American fur imports in 2000, according to PETA.
"I'm perfectly happy to bare my skin if it will help save animals' skins," Anderson said in a statement.

The Collider Detector at Fermilab's (CDF) Central Tracking Chamber.
June 8, 2010
The Collider Detector at Fermilab's (CDF) Central Tracking Chamber. This device was critical in the discovery of the top quark in 1995--the heaviest elementary object known to mankind. The chamber--at the heart of the CDF detectorsurrounded the collision point at which protons and antiprotons slammed into each other at record energy. Thousands of wires inside the chamber sensed the tracks of charged particles escaping the collisions and their signals were read out using 6,000 channels linked to the CDF data acquisition system. Top quarks were abundant when the universe was first formed; nowadays, they're hard to come by. Of course it doesn't help that they live for an infinitesimally short moment before disintegrating into more mundane particles. The only possible way to produce them is in high-energy cosmic ray collisions, or in the high-energy collisions that take place at Fermilab between protons and antiprotons. (Year of Image: 1999)

NEW DELHI: The bear market that started in 2008 is now beginning to become a true one, says Shankar Sharma of First Global in an exclusive interview with ET Now.
Speaking about how today's fall in the stock market is different from a routine bear market, he says, "What is different is that it is no more a stealth bear market, it has become evident.

First I had to figure out how to get the old unit out so I could work on it. The three screws that others wrote about were the ones that hold the motor in place. There are 3 screws holding the ice maker in the frame, along with one screw covering the electrical connection. The electrical connection was difficult to unplug because the locking tab was on the back side of the connection and with no room to work in the freezer it didn't become apparent until several frustrating minutes went by. There were no instructions provided, the picture on the ordering page showed the complete ice maker, and for $80 you get a printed circuit board with a small round item which must be the motor/timer control. The two plastic parts for moving the ice from the ice maker were included but not replaced because I didn't notice them until I had finished replacing the ice maker back in the freezer and wasn't going to start over again. Once installed, there wasn't any noise, even of water flowing like the old one, could not tell if the unit was working or not. In the morning there was new ice in the bin indicating the repair had been successful. This is like anything else, if you have done it before it is a 5 minuter job but when you have to look at it and try to figure it out it takes a bit longer. All in all, it was simple enough, I was expecting a complete ice maker unit like was in the picture when ordered but only the motor module was actually needed.We have another refrigerator/freezer that has an icemaker that is over 20 years old and has never been repaired, it is a Sears model though, probably made by Whirlpool or someone else.

Situated on the East Coast of Africa, Tanzania is bordered by the Indian Ocean and three of the largest lakes on the continent: Lake Victoria to the North, Lake Tanganyika to the West, and Lake Malawi to the South. Many Tanzanians obtain their livelihoods from these marine and fresh water fishery resources. There are also 83 million acres (33.5 million hectares) of forests and woodlands, 39 percent of which have been designated as forest reserves. The country's landscape varies greatly, from coastal plains to highlands. Key terrestrial ecoregions in Tanzania are the Central Zambezian Miombo Woodlands, Eastern Miombo Woodlands, Southern Acacia-Commisphora Bushlands and Thickets, and Zambezian Flooded Grasslands. Tanzania is especially renowned for its distinct wildlife. The country has over 20 species of primate, 34 antelope species, and a high concentration of megafauna in the grassland and open woodland habitats of the Serengeti and Maasai Steppe, located in the Northwest and Northeast of the country.

Working for Healthy Watersheds in Tanzania
The US Forest Service (USFS) International Programs Office has been providing technical assistance on natural resource management issues in Tanzania since 2001 through a partnership with the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF). The assistance provided by the USFS consisted of providing targeted assessments of key watersheds in the north of the country and assisting with land use planning activities. In 2006 the USAID/Tanzania mission began to partner directly with the USFS to expand the technical input of the agency in Tanzania. Working with USAID/TZ's Environment and Natural Resources Team, the USFS is providing this assistance to implementing partners and Tanzanian natural resource management agencies under the umbrella of the mission's objective of "biodiversity conserved in targeted landscapes through a livelihood driven approach".
USAID's implementing partners are working on four landscapes in Tanzania and across two cross-cutting themes to achieve this objective. These landscapes are the Tarangire/Manyara ecosystem (AWF lead partner), the Ugalla ecosystem ( Africare), the Greater Gombe ecosystem ( Jane Goodall Institute), and a Coastal ecosystem (Tanzania Coastal Management Partnership – a joint initiative between the National Environment Management Council, the University of Rhode Island's Coastal Resource Center). Additionally, two groups addressing cross-cutting themes are working across landscapes; a Policy group ( WWF) and a Conservation Business group ( ACDI/VOCA). Targeted technical assistance support is being provided to each of these by the USFS. The key Tanzanian government agencies and bureaus with whom these partners and the USFS are collaborating include the Ministries of Lands, Tourism, Finance, Water, and Livestock, as well as the Tanzania National Parks Agency (TANAPA).

Watershed Assessment and Management Assistance in the Tarangire-Manyara Ecosystem
The Lake Manyara watershed is one of two catchment basins that sustain the Tarangire-Manyara ecosystem in northern Tanzania. It encompasses an area of 35,000 km 2, lying to the southeast of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Dominated by East African Woodland Savannah, the Tarangire-Manyara ecosystem provides critical habitat for aquatic fauna and birdlife. The region contains an exceptional number of birds, estimated at well over 380 species. Lake Manyara also provides habitat for resident and migratory wildlife including elephant, buffalo, lion, hippopotamus, impala, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, bushbuck, leopard, and baboon.
Much of the area's biodiversity is sustained by wetlands and other water sources in the area, making the Tarangire-Manyara water catchments and wetlands critical ecological components of the region. The landscape includes Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara National Park (an internationally-recognized Biosphere Reserve), Maasai pastoralist community areas with a total population of about 350,000 Maasai, Manyara Ranch, Makuyuni National Service Training Grounds, Minjingu Phosphate Mine, and Mweka College Demonstration Area.
Land use changes and human activities in the Lake Manyara watershed are having profound impacts on ecosystem health and directly affecting the ecological and economic viability of this system. The health of the Lake Manyara watershed impacts wildlife conservation, National Parks, agricultural production, grazing regimes, and human livelihoods.
Assesments of the Lake Manyara and Tarangire River Watersheds
The African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) initiated a detailed assessment of the Lake Manyara and Tarangire River watersheds and asked the US Forest Service to work with them to outline a process by which local stakeholders and other collaborators can assess the condition of the watershed in order to develop management guidelines for the long-term viability of the systems. US Forest Service technical expertise has worked with the field based staff of the African Wildlife Foundation, local communities, and government officials in Tanzania to better understand the current state of these watersheds so as to ensure and conserve the many environmental services they provide to the area.
In August 2001, a Forest Service hydrologist and a soil scientist visited 3 of AWF's African "Heartlands" in Kenya and Tanzania to identify the forest, soil and water resource problems. This assessment team provided the basis for future collaboration between the US Forest Service and the African Wildlife Foundation and the Tarangire River system and Lake Manyara watersheds were identified as conservation targets. The objective was to understand the specific characteristics of these hydrological systems such as precipitation levels, stream flow regime, water abstractions, cover conditions, channel/riparian conditions, and the relationship between local land use practices and these hydrological conditions.
The USFS continued to work with the African Wildlife Foundation to adapt a watershed assessment process used by the USFS in the United States to apply to the situation in East Africa. The process for conducting a watershed assessment has six steps which include: 1) characterization of the watershed; 2) identification of issues and key questions 3) description of current conditions; 4) description of reference conditions; 5) synthesis and interpretation of information; and 6) Recommendations.
Following the initial assessment mission, t wo Forest Service scientists and a specialist from International Programs staff collaborated with AWF staff to organize a Watershed Assessment Stakeholders Workshop in December 2002. The Workshop brought together 24 local stakeholders, including District Forest Officers, rural council members, Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism Wildlife Specialists, Tanzania National Park staff, and Tanzania Land Conservation Trust and Ministry staff. This workshop provided a forum whereby local partners were able to provide detailed information on problems affecting this watershed based on their extensive knowledge of the watershed. The major issues and critical threats to the Maasai-Steppe Heartland were identified so that future land-use planning, agricultural and livestock management, and the development and enforcement of water laws may be improved.
Continued Forest Service Assistance
In September 2004, in carrying on the collaboration with the African Wildlife Foundation, a team of USFS technical experts returned to the region to continue providing assistance in the management of the Tarangire – Manyara ecosystem. This team consisted of a hydrologist and a soil scientist who continued working on information gathering leading to characterization of current conditions in the watersheds and identifying issues and critical questions for the watershed assessment process.
Following this work, these two specialists joined together with a USFS wildlife manager and planner, who assisted in the development of a workshop on creating a strategic plan for the Manyara Ranch, the first acquisition of the Tanzania Land Conservation Trust located between Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks. Together the USFS team worked with primary Manyara Ranch stakeholders, providing them with the opportunity to offer their input on management objectives and activities and to build a common understanding of the planning process on the part of the ranch management team and the Steering Committee. The team also provided training sessions on management plan development for AWF, Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA), and local community stakeholders.
September 2005 brought a return trip to the region by USFS technical experts. A hydrologist and soil scientist partnered with the African Wildlife Foundation to focus on identifying specific threats to the watersheds and mitigation strategies to address them. The USFS team analyzed the water management challenges facing the Ngorongoro Crater conservation area and assessed the importance of the Kolo Hills Forest Reserve as a catchment for the Tarangire River. Additional assistance was also provided to the Manyara Ranch for site-level strategic planning.
Expanding Assistance in the Ecosystem, The Ngorongoro Conservation Area
The Ngorongoro Crater and the Conservation Area that surrounds it is a World Heritage Site and one of the gems among Tanzania 's many spectacular natural resources. Ngorongoro is also one of the largest tourist attractions and income generators in the country, and is home to several thousand Maasai pastoralists and their livestock. As human populations and visitors increase, as well as some of the wildlife populations, signs of strain on the ecosystem are beginning to show, including on water resources.
In 2006 a USFS hydrologist and forest ecologist conducted an analysis of the Conservation Area's watershed and provided guidance on management of the crater's water resources and the forests of the crater rim. This team provided recommendations to AWF and the Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) on managing water use by local communities, Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA) staff and tourist lodges, and an assessment of the impact rising water consumption and effluent is having, and could have in the future, on the hydrology, vegetation and wildlife of the crater. This USFS team also recommended practical techniques for monitoring levels of water that are being drawn out of the system, as well as the impacts of effluent from tourist lodges, and they assessed the potential long term impacts of water being diverted away from the Lerai forest by lodges and the altered hydrology of the crater floor, and provided recommended solutions to mitigate these impacts. Finally, this team examined impacts on the forests of the Crater rim and recommended to AWF and the NCAA avenues for protecting the forest resources of the crater rim, taking into account the reality of local uses and the long term needs of local populations, and on the most feasible ways to monitor the state of this forest over the long term.
Implementation of Recommendations from Watershed Assessments
Moving from assessment and recommendation stages, the USFS assisted AWF in 2006 in taking action on the implementation of some of the recommendations made in earlier assessment visits by the Forest Service. USFS forest management and social science experts examined the feasibility of implementing participatory forest management in the Tarangire River headwaters in Kondoa District; recommending a strategy for moving forward with implementing participatory forest management in the area; and identifying resource and assistance needs to support such a strategy. This team also identified activities that could be introduced in villages in the Tarangire River headwaters to relieve pressure on forest resources and provide alternative ways of meeting livelihood needs that are currently being met by forest products, and recommending a strategy for introducing and developing these activities. This team also held a one-day workshop with Kondoa District staff and others working in natural resource management in Kondoa District to
Assessing Linkages between Watershed Health and Biodiversity in Saadani National Park
In 2007, the US Forest Service sent a team to northern Tanzania to provide technical assistance on an assessment of the interdependence of the Wami River and the ecosystems and biodiversity of Saadani National Park. T he USFS team helped design and carry out a rapid assessment of these linkages between the river and the park's biodiversity and of the threats to water flow quality and quantity in the river itself. This work was performed in collaboration with the Tanzania Coastal Management Program (TCMP), a joint initiative between the National Environmental Management Council of Tanzania and the University of Rhode Island's Coastal Resource Center, funded by the US Agency for International Development. The Forest Service team also provided insight and recommendations on future and more long term studies and monitoring activities which will be needed to effectively assess the health of the biodiversity and water resources of the Saadani NP.
The Wami River Basin (40,000 km2) includes the richly diverse Nguru forest reserve of the Eastern Arc Mountains, the Wami-Mbiki Wildlife Management Area, and Saadani National Park. Saadani is Tanzania 's newest national park, East Africa 's only combined terrestrial and coastal park, and the closest Park to the largest urban area in Tanzania, located just 80 miles north of Dar es Salaam. This proximity to a large urban center has lead to anticipation of great tourism potential for the new park, as well as concern for the future of its resources in the absence of careful planning for biodiversity. The Wami River is the only permanent source of fresh water for wildlife in the Saadani National Park, and during the dry season the diverse fauna of the Park concentrates along the margins of the river. As a result of drought over the last four years and increasing rates of water extraction, the flow of the Wami in both the wet and dry season has noticeably diminished—reducing the abundance of shrimp and other marine fish dependent on the fresh water flow to the estuary. If trends continue and biodiversity is not factored into planning, the Wami River may no longer flow during the dry season, with severe consequences for biodiversity and the livelihoods of local populations.
Fire Management in the Greater Gombe Ecosystem, Kigoma, Tanzania
In cooperation with the Jane Goodall Institute and its partners, the authors conducted a four-day training/workshop in fire ecology and management in Kigoma, Tanzania. Topics included landscape ecology, fire regimes and return intervals, fire-fighting organization (the incident command system), fire prevention (education), fire monitoring, fire suppression techniques, and developing a fire management plan. The training culminated with a field early (prescribed) burning exercise at Mgaraganza village.
During the workshop, breakout groups and continual review from the multi-agency and multidisciplinary participants was used to generate material for a fire management plan. This comprehensive 49-page plan accompanies this report. Although a draft, participants agreed it could be implemented immediately as a pilot, with results to be formally reviewed in one year's time (i.e., in May or June 2009). The plan should be considered a dynamic document, to be revised as warranted by experience and new information.
This Fire Management Plan (FMP) is intended to guide the actions of the Jane Goodall Institute in implementing the goals of the Conservation Action Planning (CAP) process.
The CAP process is multi-disciplinary and multi-organizational, and hence reflects an integrated, peer-reviewed effort. Nevertheless, direction in this document is not binding on the villages, District government, TANAPA, or other partners, unless specifically negotiated and agreed on. Such negotiations are strongly recommended if the plan is to be effective.
Each of the goals in the FMP follows from direction in the Conservation Action Plan (CAP) for the Greater Gombe Ecosystem. Each goal is then followed by a series of objectives and action plans that lay out the steps and processes to be followed to reach that specific goal. Collectively, the goal of the FMP is not only to improve operational fire management, but also to further the community-building and ecological restoration goals of the CAP process.
In addition to establishing goals, objectives and specific action items, the FMP attempts to explain how the overall fire management effort needs to be organized as well as implemented in order to achieve desired results. Some of the topics covered include:

|Amino-terminal sequences of the bacillus anthracis exosporium proteins BCLA and BCLB important for localization and attachment to the spore surface
|Thompson, Brian M.
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|The exosporium is the outermost layer of the Bacillus anthracis spore. The predominant protein on the exosporium surface is BclA, a collagen-like glycoprotein. BclA is incorporated on the spore surface late in the B. anthracis sporulation pathway. A second collagen-like protein, BclB, has been shown to be surface exposed on anthrax spores. We have identified sequences near the N-terminus of the BclA and BclB glycoproteins responsible for the incorporation of these proteins into the exosporium layer of the spore and used these targeting domains to incorporate reporter fluorescent proteins onto the spore surface. The BclA and BclB proteins are expressed in the mother cell cytoplasm and become spore-associated in a two step process involving first association of the protein with the spore surface followed by attachment of the protein in a process that involves a proteolytic cleavage event. Protein domains associated with each of these events have been identified. This novel targeting system can be exploited to incorporate foreign proteins into the exosporium of B. anthracis resulting in the surface display of recombinant immunogens for use as a potential vaccine delivery system.
