Boyd Alumna Billie-Marie Morrison Becomes WomenHeart Champion
Billie-Marie Morrison '01 began feeling sick in the fall of 2008 with what she thought was a cold. When winter followed, her breathing was off and she assumed it was just asthma, which she has had her whole life. One day when Billie-Marie went to work, her friends knew there was something seriously wrong and forced her to go visit a doctor.
At first Billie-Marie was diagnosed with pneumonia after x-rays were taken at Urgent Care. She was given antibiotics and took them regularly, but was not feeling any better, only worse. When she went back to the doctor, Billie-Marie was diagnosed with bronchitis, but she later received a phone call telling her to come back to the doctor immediately.
The clinic had received Billie-Marie's x-ray report and suspected she had a heart problem. After visiting a cardiologist and taking many tests, Billie-Marie was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, a serious disease of the heart muscle that makes it difficult to pump blood and deliver it to the rest of the body. Her ejection fraction rate, the measurement used to determine the function of one's heart, was only at 10 percent. She later found out that 10 percent was thought not to be enough to sustain human life.
At one point Billie-Marie had to wear a Life Vest, which is a portable EKG machine and defibrillator. She had to wear the vest every hour of the day, except when bathing.
On June 12, 2009, Billie-Marie had surgery to get a 3-lead, bi-v AICD implanted into her chest, a device which would control 75 percent of her heart. She is the first person in the state of Nevada to receive this device. Three months after surgery, her ejection faction rate was at 50 percent.
Billie-Marie found out about WomenHeart, a patient advocacy organization for women with heart disease affiliated with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., when she saw an ad in Heart Healthy magazine. She applied to become a WomenHeart Champion and was chosen. After she was chosen, she traveled to Minnesota to attend a five-day training symposium. Billie-Marie is one of 65 women who is now able to speak on behalf of the clinic on the issues of heart health and early detection.
"The Class of 2009 is extremely impressive," said Lisa M. Tate, Chief Executive Officer of WomenHeart, headquartered in Washington, DC. "These 65 women are living with the most devastating of diseases and yet have made a conscious decision and selfless commitment to help other women – young and old – live heart healthy lives and support those currently living with heart disease."
Billie-Marie will soon have her own radio show called "Double Take - The Heart of the Matter" for KLAV on Fridays, starting March 5, from 4 to 5 p.m. On the show she will discuss women's health and women's issues.
"I am thrilled and honored to represent this very important campaign to fight heart disease in women," said Billie-Marie. "I look forward to getting started right here in Clark County to educate the community and support all women in their quest to live a heart healthy life. Together, we can do it and make a difference."
Recently, after given the okay to exercise from her doctors, Billie-Marie has decided to raise money for and participate in the Tour de Cure for the American Diabetes Association on April 10 at the Henderson Events Plaza. So far, Billie-Marie has raised $3,000 for the cause. To sponsor a rider or to donate to the cause, go to tour.diabetes.org.
"Sometimes diabetes and heart conditions can really go hand in hand," Billie-Marie said.
Her heart disease has not set her back, but has only pushed her forward. Billie-Marie works at Craig P. Kenny & Associates as a practicing attorney, dealing with issues such as personal injury, workers' comp and products liability. Her experience has only improved her job skills and has helped her take her career to another level.
"My experience has made me a better attorney because I have inside knowledge of what they're [clients] going through. I know what they're talking about," Billie-Marie said. "I love helping people and it makes me feel good and I wouldn't give it up [working at a law firm] because helping people makes me happy."
WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease is the nation's only patient advocacy organization serving the 41 million American women living with or at risk for heart disease – the leading cause of death for women. WomenHeart is solely devoted to advancing women's heart health through advocacy, community education, and the nation's only patient support network for women living with heart disease. WomenHeart is both a coalition and a community of thousands of members nationwide, including women heart patients and their families, healthcare professionals, and health advocates, all committed to helping women live longer, healthier lives.

1Go to a store that sells Halloween costumes and accessories. Or try a thrift store/opportunity shop.Ad
2Purchase a black robe that goes with the scream costume.
3Get some sharp scissors and cut a straight line that goes from the bottom middle to the middle of the hole the head comes out of. If there are fake tears on the sleeves, slowly and carefully cut them off (unless you like them).
4Put it on - now you have a trench coat!Ad
We could really use your help!
Ice Hockey?
- Try to cut it as straight as possible but don't worry about it too much.
- If you don't want it black, try dyeing it - this should work.
- If you find a trench coat in a thrift store, buy it and wear it as is. If it is not the right size, change this by cutting and sewing.

Green roofs, also called living or planted roofs, are systems of living plants and vegetation installed on the roof of an existing or new structure. The green roof concept is not new. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon constructed around 500 B.C. were perhaps one of the first green roof systems. Terrace structures were built over arched stone beams and waterproofed with layers of reeds and thick tar on which plants and trees were placed in soil.
Popular in Europe for decades, technology has improved upon the ancient systems, making green roofs available in and appropriate for nearly all climates and areas of the United States. All green roof systems consist of four basic components: a waterproofing layer, a drainage layer, a growing medium, and vegetation. Some green roofs also include root retention and irrigation systems, but these are not essential.
Green roof systems are often broken down into two types—extensive and intensive systems. An extensive system features low-lying plants such as succulents, mosses, and grasses. They require relatively thin layers of soil (1-6 inches), and plants usually produce a few inches of foliage. Extensive systems have less of an impact on the roof structure, weighing 10-50 pounds per square foot on average, and are generally accessible only for routine maintenance. Most residential applications are composed of extensive green roof systems. Intensive systems feature deeper soil and can support larger plants including crops, shrubs, and trees. Intensive systems can be harder to maintain, depending on the plants used, and are much heavier than extensive systems—they range from 80 to more than 120 pounds per square foot. Intensive systems are typically designed to be accessible to building inhabitants for relaxation and/or harvesting.
There is a wide variety of materials used for each component of the green roof system, depending on the chosen plants, type of system employed, climate, and underlying structure. Growing mediums include soils, peat and other organic materials, gravel, and other aggregates. A drainage layer is required to adequately distribute water and prevent pooling. To minimize the weight of the system, drainage layers are often made from plastic or rubber, but may also be made of gravel or clay. The drainage layer may or may not include filter media to ensure aeration. The waterproofing membrane is a critical component of the system and should include a root barrier to ensure the underlying roof surface is not compromised. If the weatherproofing material is not root-resistant, an additional layer must be applied to serve this purpose.
Plants used in green roof applications must be easy to maintain and tolerant of extreme weather conditions including heat, freezing, and drought, and must have relatively shallow, fibrous root systems. The plants should also be resistant to diseases and insects, and not generate airborne seeds in order to protect surrounding plantings. Climate-appropriate succulents, mosses, and grasses are often best suited for extensive green roof systems. These types of plants are available in a variety of colors, in both deciduous and evergreen options. Many nurseries throughout the country specialize in vegetation for green roofs.
The added mass and thermal resistance of green roofs reduces the heating and cooling loads of the building. These systems reduce the ambient temperature around the roof, decreasing the building's urban heat island effect; reduce the ambient temperature of the roof's surface; and slow the transfer of heat into the building, reducing cooling costs. They also provide added insulation to the roof structure, reducing heating requirements in the winter.
Green roofs reduce stormwater runoff by absorbing and retaining the water in the soil medium for plant growth. The plants can filter pollutants and carbon dioxide from the air and rain water. These systems reduce rooftop temperatures and can reduce air and noise pollution. They also serve as living habitats for birds and other wildlife.
Vegetation protects the roof from extreme temperatures, ultraviolet radiation, and harsh weather conditions, resulting in a longer lasting roof system.
Green roof systems can be implemented in new and existing construction. The structural design of the home must be carefully considered to accommodate the additional loads. Roofs do not need to be flat to support green roof systems, but different systems have varying pitch recommendations and limitations, which should be considered during the design phase. The systems also require selection of appropriate plantings for the climatic region. Flood testing of the roof membrane should also be conducted prior to placement of the green roof system.
Costs for research, design, and materials of the green roof system and structural support are higher than a conventional roofing system. Extensive systems can cost as little as $7 a square foot, though ranges tend to be $10-15 for extensive, and $15-25 per square foot for intensive systems.
There will be some additional costs involved with maintaining the roof top plantings, but overall maintenance of the roofing membrane will be reduced. Since planted roof systems increase the life-span of the roof, repairs and replacement should be minimized.
The IRC does not cite green roofs. They are accepted under the IRC Section R104.11 for alternative materials, design, and methods of construction and equipment. Local plan reviewers and inspectors might not be familiar with green roofs and may require additional inspections and testing of the waterproofing membrane.
None available
In built-in-place systems, the roof structure must be covered with a waterproof roofing membrane system and tested for waterproofing. A drainage layer system and growing soil medium are then placed, and appropriate plantings for the climatic region are installed. In modular systems, the required roofing systems are contained in pre-set grids which are installed on top of prepared roof surfaces.
Manufacturer warranties vary and may depend on maintenance agreements. Some are all-inclusive and cover the entire system; others cover components such as waterproofing and plantings separately.
Green roofs reduce stormwater runoff by absorbing and retaining the water in the soil medium for plant growth, rather than piping all water directly into a storm sewer system. Results of an evaluation of green roofs in the Seattle area found that green roofs reduced rainwater runoff from 65 to 94 percent (Fall 2007, The Green Roof Infrastructure Monitor, www.greenroofs.org). A green roof might reduce overall development costs for large multifamily buildings; although the green roof would cost more than a conventional roof, stormwater connection fees and related infrastructure costs might be greatly reduced or eliminated. Green roofs reduce the urban heat island effect by reducing roof top temperatures. Green roofs can also reduce air and noise pollution.
Vegetation protects the roof from extreme temperatures, ultraviolet radiation, and harsh weather conditions, resulting in a longer lasting roof system. Reducing daily temperature swings also decreases the amount of expansion and contraction of the roof waterproofing membrane, prolonging its life. Green roofs can lower the energy requirements of buildings by reducing the temperature of the roof's surface and slowing the transfer of heat into the building. They also provide added insulation to the roof structure, mainly by trapping a layer of still air against the roof surface, thus reducing heating requirements in the winter. Appropriate plant species selection provides needed habitat for local and migratory butterflies and other wildlife populations. Green roofs in California's Bay Area have been coordinated to be part of a larger wildlife corridor stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Green roofs are also aesthetically pleasing, especially in urban environments.
While extensive green roof systems weigh no more than slate roofs, intensive systems are much heavier than traditional roofs, so structural design is an important consideration. Like standard gardens, the plantings also require maintenance, the level of which depends on the species chosen and their hardiness in the climate.

Beating the summer heat in D.C.
People across D.C. spent the day finding ways to beat the heat. More than half the month has been 95 degrees or higher, threatening to be the hottest July on record. See how residents coped with the triple digit temperatures.
A few dozen autograph seekers, some under umbrellas, stood outside the Washington Nationals parking lot early on Wednesday afternoon. The fans waited in a small gated area on the sidewalk with baseballs, notebooks, photographs and other memorabilia.

US actress Katie Holmes (L) leaves her lawyer's office in New York City July 7, 2012. Katie Holmes has filed for divorce from her Hollywood A-list husband Tom Cruise, who has reportedly denied Scientologuy sparked the split. (AFP PHOTO / MEHDI TAAMALLAH)
NEW YORK: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes reached a settlement in their divorce, her attorney said Monday.
"The case has been settled and the agreement has been signed," Holmes attorney Jonathan Wolfe said in a statement. An assistant in Wolfe's office who would not give her name would not elaborate on the agreement.
"We are thrilled for Katie and her family and are excited to watch as she embarks on the next chapter of her life," the statement said. "We thank Tom's counsel for their professionalism and diligence that helped bring about this speedy resolution."
Holmes filed for divorce less than two weeks ago, putting an end to the romance that began in 2005. The couple has a 6-year-old daughter, Suri.
Earlier Monday, the couple asked for privacy.
"We are committed to working together as parents to accomplish what is in our daughter Suri's best interests. We want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other's roles as parents," read the statement from Holmes and Cruise's reps, Nanci Ryder and Amanda Lundberg.
The Hollywood split has played out in the celebrity news media, where Holmes has been portrayed with overwhelmingly more sympathy. Whether true or not, the narrative that's emerged is of a locked-away Holmes breaking free from the servitude of a strange, corrupting marriage.
Us Weekly has reported that the couple "fought viciously" over Scientology parenting. The Daily News has trumpeted Holmes entering "a new phase." A TMZ headline blared "Tom treated me like a robot."
That may also be the most convenient view of a relationship that even at its start spawned "Free Katie!" T-shirts.
Cruise's camp vigorously denied such a reading. Cruise's lawyer Bert Fields has said they were letting "the other side play the media until they wear everyone out." The Church of Scientology, too, didn't want to be portrayed as the schism between the couple.
The quick settlement and joint statement may put out some of that fire.
"It's not entirely certain that it's all about Rapunzel fleeing the castle, which is the motif that people love to use," said Larry Hackett, managing editor of People magazine, which broke the news of the divorce. He called this the biggest celebrity story in two or three years, excepting the sudden death of Whitney Houston.
"The danger in this kind of story is the same danger there was back when this whole thing first started," Hackett says. "It's the speculation about the church and all that kind of stuff, and there's a lot of information certainly seems plausible. But like any other story, you've got to run it down and see if it's there."
In the week and a half since filing for divorce, Holmes also captured the spotlight with a handful of public appearances. She stopped by to tape a guest judge appearance on Lifetime's "Project Runway," was snapped taking their 6-year-old daughter, Suri, for ice cream, and was seen taking a trip to the Children's Museum of the Arts.
The appearances have only fed the view that Holmes is now living easier and freer - and conversely, that she's orchestrating a public relations campaign.
On the other hand, Holmes may have simply been trying to regain a measure of privacy, said celebrity publicist Howard Bragman, vice chairman of reputation.com.
"I think she's being smart. If you engage in a bunker mentality, you build up demand" for photographs, Bragman said. "My clients who are under siege by paparazzi, I say go on and live your life. It lets some of the air out of the balloon, if you will."

Most of the modern cars use a power steering system to reduce the effort needed to be given by the driver to turn the steering wheel. In a power steering system, the steering wheel is connected to the steering pump. When you turn the steering wheel, the pump passes the high pressure fluid through the steering hose. The high pressure fluid hits the inner valve and moves the steering rack according to the direction that you turn the wheel. The steering rack has tie rods at both the ends that are connected to the steering arm of the wheel. The steering rack converts the rotational motion into linear motion and helps to move your Audi car wheels forward.
If the Audi power steering rack does not work properly, you will immediately feel the difference in your steering system.

Seven UTSA faculty selected for Regent's Outstanding Teaching Awards
(Aug. 23, 2012) -- Among sixty-five faculty members from institutions across the University of Texas System, seven UTSA professors were honored Wednesday, Aug. 22 by the UT System Board of Regents as recipients of the 2012 Regents' Outstanding Teaching Award.
UTSA's 2012 award recipients include the following:
- Aaron Cassill, professor, College of Sciences (Biology)
- David Han, assistant professor, College of Business (Management Science and Statistics)
- Randall Manteufel, associate professor, College of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering)
- Elizabeth Pate, professor, College of Education and Human Development (Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching)
- Can Saygin, associate professor, College of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering)
- Heather Shipley, assistant professor, College of Engineering (Civil and Environmental Engineering)
- Daniel Tablada, lecturer II, College of Business (Marketing)
"We are honored to again have several of our faculty selected as recipients of the Regents' awards and especially pleased to see so many different academic areas represented in this year's class," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo. "We know we have the best professors in Texas here at UTSA and this recognition is a testament to that."
With the seven newest recipients, a total of 25 UTSA faculty members have received the Regents' award. A list of past UTSA recipients is available on the Faculty Awards website.
"We have a responsibility as a board to support, encourage and reward our most innovative and effective educators. These annual awards help advance a culture of excellence and recognize outstanding performance in the classroom and laboratory that directly benefit our students for life," Regents Chairman Gene Powell said. "On behalf of the Board of Regents, I congratulate each of these dedicated professionals for their commitment to exceptional teaching and providing an education of the first class for our students."
The $25,000-per-teacher monetary awards, offered annually in recognition of faculty members at the nine academic and six health University of Texas System institutions who have demonstrated extraordinary classroom performance and innovation in undergraduate instruction, are the Board of Regents' highest teaching honor. The financial awards this year total more than $2.6 million for faculty at both the academic and health campuses and are among the largest in the nation for rewarding outstanding faculty performance and, given the depth and breadth of talent across the UT System, one of the nation's most competitive.
Award nominees must demonstrate a clear commitment to teaching and a sustained ability to deliver excellence to the undergraduate learning experience. In the competition for the awards, faculty candidates were subjected to rigorous examination of their teaching performance over three years by campus and external examiners.
"The UT System and the Board of Regents believe educating young minds is paramount for the future of this great state and nation," said UT System Chancellor Francisco G. Cigarroa, M.D. "These awards honor those educators who have produced proven results and have had a great impact on our students."
Established by the Board of Regents in 2008, the Regents' Outstanding Teaching Awards complement a wide range of systemwide efforts that underscore the Board of Regents' commitment to ensuring the UT System is a place of intellectual exploration and discovery, educational excellence and unparalleled opportunity.

10 Natural Pesticides for Your Organic Vegetable Garden
When you are planning, designing, creating and planting your organic vegetable garden, it's unlikely that you think about things like pest control. You're probably thinking of the plentiful harvest of fresh and healthy vegetables you're going to be picking every day. However, even organic gardeners need to deal with insects and pests. If going organic is how you want to grow your vegetables, then it makes sense to want to deal with pests in the same manner. Buying commercial pesticides will defeat the purpose of growing organic, and are much more expensive than finding natural methods. Here are 10 items that you can gather from your very own kitchen and chase those pests away so you can enjoy healthy, fresh vegetables.
Coffee grounds
Save your brewed coffee grounds and sprinkle them over your garden. These will deter beetles and snails, and are known to have a fatal effect on both species. You can also mix the coffee with your soil to give it a darker look. By using coffee grounds as a pesticide, you're also keeping your garbage out of landfills. Try to buy organic coffee, as regular store-bought varieties from other parts of the world are known to use pesticides for their crops.
Egg Shells
These are perfect deterrents for slugs, as they don't like the rough edges of the shells. Rinse the shells with water and crumble into small pieces over your entire garden. This is another way to keep your garbage out of landfills.
Companion Planting
Certain plants can be combined for planting close together to help get rid of pests, fight disease and even improve the overall soil of your entire garden. For example, spinach and peppers go well together, as do celery and leeks, and corn and potatoes. If you follow a specific companion planting design, you'll find less disease and pests in your garden.
Planting garlic in your garden is a good pest repellant, as the odor is offensive to many insects (and some humans too!). You can also use whole garlic cloves and mix with chunks of pepper and water. Put into a spray bottle and spray your plants. This will have a dizzying and paralyzing effect on flying insects. Use several cloves of garlic for every gallon of water and let the mixture ferment for several hours before using.
Soapy Water
Mix a teaspoon of mild liquid soap with water in a spray bottle. You can use Ivory, Murphy's Oil or other type of natural, mild soap. Spray the mixture over your plants to repel insects, Japanese Beetles and others. Be careful not to use too much on flowering vegetable or fruit plants, as it can hinder production. Make sure that the soap you use is natural and mild, and does not contain any harsh perfumes or fragrances, as these could actually attract insects instead of repelling them.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Mix one to two tablespoons of vinegar for every gallon of water for a natural fungicide and pesticide. The strong smell is offensive to many flying insects and other bugs like beetles and slugs. Try not to use white vinegar, as many varieties are made from petroleum products. Red wine vinegar and balsamic will also work well.
This isn't just for making bread out of. Cornmeal acts as an excellent fungal control and can be sprinkled directly onto your garden or brewed as a tea to be sprayed on. Mix 1-2 tablespoons of cornmeal per gallon of water. And it will make your garden nice and colorful.
Canola and Vegetable Oil
Mix ½ cup of oil with water to suffocate soft bodied flying insects. Don't use too much of the mixture on fragile plants, as they may burn the leaves. Murphy's oil will also work well.
Rubbing alcohol works well but it is made from petroleum products, while drinking alcohols are made from plants. You only need a couple of tablespoons for every gallon of water. If you use too much it will become a super-powered herbicide. Use spirits such as scotch, gin, vodka, whiskey or rum.
Fresh peppers or powdered varieties like cayenne work well and can burn soft bodied insects on contact. Fresh peppers are best used in conjunction with garlic. Some peppers that experts recommend are banana peppers, sweet green and yellow peppers and chili peppers.
You can mix several of these ingredients together into a tea compost brew so that it offers even more protection for your organic vegetable garden. Don't overuse these brews, though, as it could harm your plants and beneficial insects.
These concoctions will work well on any type of organic vegetable garden that you have planted, including raised beds. They are also quite effective on flower gardens, trees, shrubs and bushes. Like anything, you have to use them in moderation and monitor the results.
If you follow the directions, guidelines and strategies set out by the experts in ecological and organic vegetable gardening, you'll find that your pest problems will be kept to a minimum. It's always a good idea, however, to keep at least one of the above methods on hand and ready to be used at a moment's notice.
By using natural pesticides, you are not contaminating the soil with harmful chemicals and disease-causing substances. If enough people turn to these methods, the demand for commercial pesticides will dwindle, and corporate America might finally get the hint that people want better alternatives to the food they have access to.
Keep in mind that there are some insects that are actually beneficial to your organic vegetable garden. These are called 'beneficials' and include lady bugs, damsel bugs, big-eye bugs and spined soldier bugs. They munch on aphids and other soft-bodied insects, but won't touch your plants. Spend some time online and learn how to spot the pests from the beneficials. Some gardeners actually buy ladybugs by the hundreds and release them into their gardens to feast on all of the other insects.

A perfectly bad Vancouver summer day: dry, yet chilly, yet warm as you ride the four hours around the city and climb the bridges and sail down the inclines. Stop for rice and meat, and later for ice cream. Who cares how many calories. This summer riding is shedding the weight and making for loose pants. I can eat and drink as much as I like and yet the mass goes. The rewards of summer and preparation for another winter of indulgence.
Back in the home office, I wrote yet another EduMine course. I have eight up and they bring me a reasonable income—at least as much and more than social security. Thus I could not resist the temptation inherent in the challenge: "We have no course on groundwater modeling in mining. Why don't you write it—and fast."
Admittedly it is a long time since I lectured on groundwater flow. It is even longer since I did a thesis on the topic. I have worked on projects over the years involving groundwater. I have even solved groundwater problems using common sense and judgment.
Recently I found myself editing and extensively re-writing poor prose for a guideline for mining-related groundwater modeling. I get little credit, but boy did I sweat the rewriting and casting of poor prose into plausible English. Conclusion: groundwater modelers cannot write. They are nice people. But write? Better keep them at their computers.
Thus I elected to write in my own voice what I know and think about groundwater modeling. It will be many months before this course appears on EduMine. In the meantime here is what I wrote today on flow nets:
I like flow nets and believe they are fundamental to understanding groundwater seepage and hence to modeling groundwater at mines and elsewhere. I urge you to become familiar and adept with flow nets. Cedergren is the best. Work through his examples, many of which are applicable to mining groundwater situations.
I have interacted with so-called groundwater modelers who could not draw a flow net. I dismissed them as being incompetent and incompletely skilled for the task at hand.
I helped a young geologist draw a flow net. At first he could not get any correspondence between his sketches and the piezometer readings from the field. We examined the situation. He had forgotten to include the scree slope at the base of the hills. These rock debris piles were of high permeability and significantly affected the groundwater flow. When he included them he was able to sketch reasonable flow nets.
And a bit on boundary conditions:
The constant head boundary. If you put a piezometer anywhere along such a boundary, the water in the piezometer would rise to the same elevation. In effect this means that the energy along that boundary is constant. There may be differences of elevation and differences of water pressure. But the head, which is defined as the sum of elevation and water pressure, is such that in effect the energy that a particle of water has is constant along such a line.
The No-Flow Boundary. No seepage occurs across such a boundary. In real conditions, very low permeability clay layers are no-flow boundaries. Water simply does not seep across such boundaries. The water prefers to seep along in the high permeability soils above the low permeability clays. If you sketch a flow net that incorporates this boundary, the boundary constitutes a flow line, i.e. the path that individual water particles (drops) follow as they seep through the permeable soils and rock.
Water Table (Phreatic Line). This is a tricky boundary that occurs all too frequently in groundwater flow modeling of mining conditions. Mathematically, the energy along such a boundary is equal to the elevation of the boundary. For there is no water pressure along such a boundary; water pressure is zero along this line. In flow net construction, such a boundary counts as a flow line, that is as long as there is no infiltration along the boundary. Things get even more tricky if there is infiltration across the water table. Consult the computer code manual on how to deal with this.
Seepage Face. Along seepage face boundaries water seeps from the mass of soil or rock into the open air. In practice this is a nuisance; wet spots develop; erosion occurs as the seepage flows down the face; and you may have to collect this seepage. In modeling, the issue is often: will the seepage rate be greater of less than the evaporation rate? For if less, generally the rocks will remain reasonably dry and you may mine safely.

The ethics of genetic screening are to be debated by a new committee set up by Britain's Nuffield Council on Bioethics. The working party will be chaired by June Lloyd, a researcher in child health at the University of London, and will examine the current issues in genetic screening now and in the future.
For example, it will assess the risks of the stigma that could be attached to people who are thought to be 'genetically disadvantaged', and will discuss the problems of who should have access to genetic information. Insurers and employers are two groups that might misuse such information. The working party wants submissions from any interested groups before 10 June. It is expected to report within 18 months.
Other members of the group include lawyers, geneticists and health administrators.

Senate passes SB 1040
On a 20-18 vote, the Senate passed SB 1040 today stripping new hires of a retirement and forcing them into a defined contribution plan. The bill also puts merit pay back into final average compensation calculations. Other changes previously reported remain in the bill.
All Senate Democrats voted "no," along with Republican Sen. Casperson, Green, Hansen, Jones, Nofs and Rocca.
An amendment by Sen. Jansen's (R-Grand Rapids) puts all new public school employees hired after July 1, 2012 into a 401k contribution plan that is similar to what state employees have. He praised his own work saying that this Legislature will be known as the one that "fixed an unending nightmare" of a retirement system with a $45 billion unfunded liability.
However, the "unending nightmare" of a relentless attack on school employees that adds retirement costs to their already shrinking wages and benefits and taxes senior citizen pensions continues.
There was no change for current employees who will be paying 5 percent if they are in the basic plan and 8 percent if they are in MIP. To avoid the higher costs in the future, employees can take a smaller multiplier or move into a 401K plan. An effective date of July 31, 2012 and the elimination of the graded premium and age limit to receive health benefits are still a part of SB 1040.
Retirees will see their health insurance premiums double since SB 1040 burdens them with a 20 percent cost—up from the current 10 percent.
Legislators completely ignored the advice of Gary Olson, the former Senate Fiscal Agency Director and author of a study released by the Coalition for Secure Retirement (CSR) which advised legislators to move slowly on SB 1040. In his study, Olson explains why MPSERS is having financial problems and details the devastating financial impact the bill will have on current employees and retirees.
None of the amendments offered by Democrats to prefund the system—as the Governor proposed, or exempt retirees and employees earning less than $15,000 from additional costs passed. The changes were met with objection by SB 1040's author Sen. Kahn (R-Saginaw) who dismissed them as not having gone through proper channels before being introduced on the floor and for not including cost estimates.
And Sen. Jansen (R-Grand Rapids) reminded legislators that low income subsidies were available for retirees.
Republican amendments had little trouble passing.
An amendment by Sen. Colbeck (R-Canton) allowing merit pay to figure into a school employees' final average compensation was unanimously approved. It seems logic prevailed since this Legislature has strongly supported merit pay and now it carries some weight in a person's wallet.
And in an example of not letting facts get in the way, SB 1040 calls for a 12-month study that reviews the cost of retired university employees to the health care portion of MPSERS. Another amendment calls for a five-year projection of payroll contributions from the state.
Republicans continued to call passage of SB 1040 an "historic change" since they're "providing hope to teachers, students, parents and future generations." For now, the only hope for school employees is a bridge card to help support their families!
The bill now moves to the House where more changes are expected. Start contacting your Representatives NOW and tell them to vote NO! As it is now, SB 1040 doesn't keep retirement promises to current employees; discourages new employees from ever joining the profession; and burdens retirees with more unexpected costs.

SOUTH Cumbria's food crisis has reached disturbing levels following shocking revelations some people are walking up to 20 miles to access emergency rations.
Have your say
Barrow lad you obviously can't see what's in front of you.
So mike, you have a problem with immigrants do you?
Is it the colour of the skin you have a problem with?
Is it the culture?
Is it the general appearance?
Is it a language barrier?
There is a collective word for all this.......!!!
You DO have a problem & that problem is, unfortunately, you know nowt & I mean NOWT!!!
ohh Charlie you should be pm as you are as delusional!! Have i a problem with immigrants getting benefit? damn right i have !! my parents grandparents etc all paid into the state coffers and someone who sneaks in here lives in a garage for 12 months can then get benefits?? are you totally thick Charlie? You and all the other nuggets like you have destroyed OUR country and given it to people who in the main are not fit to inherit this country.

Why I Chose Polarity Therapy
I had no idea what I was getting into! In fact, when my polarity teacher first explained what polarity therapy was to me, I wasn't even sure I understood what he was saying, even though I knew all the words he used! I had been in a car accident a few years prior to meeting my teacher, and that led me to seek out different alternative therapies for my neck and head injuries. I found massage seemed to help the most out of all the modalities I tried. Then I found polarity or it found me.
About My Polarity Therapy Session
My first polarity therapy session was amazing. It was like a whole new world had opened up to me. It was the first time in four years that I was completely pain-free after my car accident and what I remember feeling what I can only describe as buzzing or vibrating...in a good way. I was so relaxed and so energized at the same time, and I was so excited to have found a therapy that spoke to my body like no other I have ever experienced.
I remember almost literally jumping off the table and exclaiming, "I have no idea what you just did, but I have to learn it! This is the most amazing feeling!"
- Not all Polarity Practitioners work in the same ways. It's okay to shop around; speak to several until you find the right match for you.
- Polarity therapy opens up our own body's healing potential. We must be ready, willing and open for the change to occur.
- Don't be afraid to communicate ANYTHING that feels important to you with your polarity practitioner. The first step to finding the help we need is asking for it.

ANTIMATTER has been around since the big bang 13.7 billion years ago, when theories say it was born in equal amounts as matter. But that equality no longer holds true, and ever since humans have been aware of antimatter, they have wondered why.
English physicist Paul Dirac came up with the idea of antimatter 79 years ago as he tried to reconcile quantum theory with special relativity. Dirac argued on theoretical grounds that antimatter had to exist. Detection of the positron in 1932 confirmed his theory. In this way, the positron was the first particle to be born out of pure thought, marking "perhaps the biggest jump of all the big jumps" of the 20th century, according to Werner Heisenberg, pioneer of quantum mechanics.
Now physicists have managed to create and trap antihydrogen atoms (see "Antihydrogen trapped at long last"). Studies of these newly ensnared anti-atoms will fire up the imaginations of Dirac's successors as they struggle to understand why antimatter is so rare. By the time we reach 2031, the centenary of Dirac's insight, perhaps we will have solved one of the great cosmic mysteries: where all that antimatter went, and why.

Disorderly Conduct Lawyers
Locate a Local Criminal Lawyer
What is Disorderly Conduct?
Disorderly Conduct is generally considered recklessly or intentionally engaging in violent behavior, disrupting a peaceful assembly of person, obstructing traffic, making unreasonable noises to disrupt the public and refusing to comply with a lawful order from the police.
Disorderly conduct includes crimes such as public drunkenness, disturbing the peace, loitering, and other civil disorders. Participating in unlawful assemblies or rioting may also fall under this category. Disorderly conduct is a misdemeanor.
Defenses to Disorderly Conduct Charge
- Self-defense: If the charge is for engaging in violence, claiming you were protecting yourself from assault may be viable
- Freedom of speech: If the charge is for making unreasonable noises or for engaging in public argument, claiming you have a right do so may get you off the hook. This defense should be used only in appropriate circumstances though, as the speech must be of certain nature to qualify for such protection.
- Public/Privacy Distinction: Disorderly conduct is mainly for disagreeable conduct in public. Police should not be invoking it for domestic disputes (a completely different set of laws govern that area)
- Failure to Prove Beyond a Reasonable Doubt: If the evidence is lacking or contradictory, you can walk.
Consequences of Disorderly Conduct
- Imprisonment, typically up to thirty days for first time offenders
- Fines, typically up to $500
- Probation, to ensure that behavior doesn't occur again for a period of time
- Public record, may hinder employment or tenancy applications
Factors Determining the Severity of Punishment
- Specific Activity and Statute Violated
- Use of Violence or Weapons
- Damage to Property
- Resulting Personal Injury
What Can You Do if You are Accused of Disorderly Conduct?
If you are accused of disorderly conduct or a similar crime you should speak to a lawyer immediately to learn more about your rights, your defenses, and the complicated legal system.

UTSA demographer speaks at congressional briefing on aging trends
(June 20, 2013) -- Joachim Singelmann, chair of the Department of Demography in the UTSA College of Public Policy, presented research in Washington, D.C., at a June 20 congressional briefing on "Aging in Rural America: 21st Century Trends."
The briefing was hosted by the Consortium of Social Science Associations (COSSA) and sponsored by several social science organizations from across the country. It drew from the book, "Rural Aging in 21st Century America," to which Singelmann and Marlene A. Lee of the Population Reference Bureau contributed. Singelmann and Lee researched and wrote the book chapter, "Place and Race: Health of African Americans in Non-metropolitan Areas," on which he was invited by COSSA to speak.
Singelmann and Lee presented their findings to congressional members, staffers and fellow social science experts. His research details the differences in disability among the white and African-American elderly in both metropolitan and rural areas. The aim of the briefing was to educate congressional advocates about the implications these findings have for public policy programs aimed at reducing disabilities in the aging populations of rural America.
Research by Singelmann and Lee found that geographical differences in disability rates for older African-American groups have major implications for the distribution of national and local health resources. According to their study, disability is much higher in non-metropolitan areas. Thus, programs to reduce disability targeting both black and white demographics are especially important for rural areas. Similarly, disability rates are much higher for blacks and whites in the South. Singelmann and Lee suggest that programs to reduce disability would do well to specifically target black and white southern populations to combat disability.
Secondly, Singelmann and Lee's analysis found support for the "weathering" hypothesis by A.T. Geronimus, which suggests that African-Americans have higher cumulative risk measurements than whites. Singelmann and Lee's work suggests that any future programs addressing disability should target younger ages for blacks than whites. Finally, in order to be successful, programs to reduce disability among southern black populations must recognize that there is a broader environment of education that seems to lower disability less for blacks than for whites.
"I hope that our demographic research group's findings educate these congressional staffers about aging and health trends in a way that they will consider closely our work as they implement public policies regarding health and disabilities," said Singelmann. "In the future, it will be necessary to understand the nuanced differences in these groups' disability rates to have any significant or lasting impact and close the rural-urban and black-white gap in health outcomes."

Former New England Patriots wide receiver Aaron Hernandez has been reported to have assaulted a fellow inmate whilst in jail on bail.
Raymond Felton may be grabbing the criminal headlines right now, but TMZ have reported that Hernandez attacked an inmate who had been rubbing him up the wrong way throughout the day.
Hernandez, who is currently in jail without bail over his charge for the alleged murder of footballer Odin Lloyd in 2013, is normally separated from other inmates for his own safety.
But the reports from sources say that he was allowed to walk down a corridor alone and confronted the inmate who was "beaten up pretty badly".
There is no official word on this from the Bristol County Jail or his legal team. But one thing is for certain, his legal team will not be happy with this stunt, especially as there is no bail for his release.

Didn't the discovery of DNA in the fifties kind of
settle the evolution debate anyway? Come on now, the evidence IS overwhelming.
Why do the opponents of evolution keep clutching at straws?
Hey guys............it's obvious.
Whether they like it or not, it's been proved beyond doubt.
Yes, that's right, beyond doubt!
I actually read an answer on here once that god designed DNA that way, and it had to have been god or they wouldn't all be unique!
Forgot to say that I thought that was hilarious at the time. Can't believe that the person was serious.
beyond a doubt, yet half of the population doubts it. Interesting
You would think that the Apollo missions would have ended belief in cities in the sky and angels, but silly people can't think clearly so they continue to believe.
I agree it's been proven. That's why the religous people out in the world changed there story from there being no evolution to god making the changes himself as he saw fit. He changed creatures over time. Now that doesn't work with any of there teachings but they still believe it.
And when ever religion is wrong and they are proven wrong they change there story so how can they ever be right. What are we goin to prove wrong they believe in next. No Afterlife... then if there is no afterlife then why believe.
We already have proven the world was round and not flat. We prove the world revolves around the sun, not the other way around. We have enough to show that evolution is a fact as well as a theory which means they it explains how it works.
Anyone who disagrees is still holding on to the old ways of believing in storyies that were made up by crazy old men that wanted a little power in there life.
The structure of DNA is one of the strongest evidences FOR God I have ever seen. The chirality required to build DNA makes non intelligent design impossible. In order for DNA evolution to work, billions of molecules within our body would have to be generated with the "R" configuration all at the same time, without error. If it is impossible for one nucleotide to be formed with chirality, how much less likely would it be for billions of nucleotides to come together exactly at the same time, and all of them be formed with the same chirality? Chirality is not just a major problem for evolution; it is a dilemma. According to evolution, natural processes must explain everything over long periods of time. However, the process that forms chirality cannot be explained by natural science in any amount of time. As per Dr. Charles McCombs is a Ph.D. Organic Chemist
I think the understanding of evolution is built on a great deal of accumulated evidence and genetics is one of the cornerstones.
Somehow that understanding doesn?t affect my relationship with God at all.
We still don't know how the evolution from non-flowering plants to flowering plants happened. And the missing links in human evolution? Come on...millions of fossils of all types of living things instead of the ones linking them together.....you must be joking.
I don't beleive in a supernatural cause, but certainly extraterrestrials.
You are partially correct. The evidence of a creator is overwhelming. SO much so, that the discoverers of the DNA molecule moved from atheism to a belief in God.
It in amazingly smallminded to prattle on how the THEORY of evolution is proven without a doubt. You are simply taking something you have been indoctrinated in and making uninformed pronouncements with no real evidence to support your preconceptions. You are no better then the supposedly dogmatic people of faith you would presume to lecture here.
SOmething as complex and orderly as the DNA molecule does not happen by magic! There is a designer for every design. I suppose you think of an automobile as a random mineral formation of some kind, or a house as an accidental formation of a pile of wood.
THe evidence for evolution is lacking....pretty much everything. There are no transitional species found, all our supposed pre-human ancestors have turned out not to be so, there are no constructive mutations occurring today, and many of the supposed extinct "primitive" species have been turning up not so extinct, and not so primitive.
You need to think outside the box you have been indoctrinated into, and take an honest look at the evidence for the truth, not what you want to believe. God has NOT gone away, no matter how uncomfortable your high priests of secularism are with Him.

April 1944: A Jewish Exodus From The Polish Army
As the date of the court-martial neared, sympathizers in the British Parliament and the press spoke out. MP Tom Driberg announced that he had "a whole drawerful of personal testimonies to the kind of [anti-Semitism] they are experiencing, written out laboriously in Polish, or, pathetically, in broken English."
MP William Gallacher asked, "Supposing the [U.S.] Government gave a bunch of Englishmen power over a mixed bunch of Englishmen and Scotsmen, and the Englishmen started ill-treating the Scotsmen, would not the Scotsmen be entitled to go to Washington and say, 'You have given the power to the wrong people?' "
An editorial in the Birmingham Gazette declared, "It is clear that not only Germany will have to be re-educated after the war, but we may be faced with an anti-Semitic Poland almost as urgently in need of re-education as Germany itself."
After a trial behind closed doors, the 21 Jewish soldiers were convicted of desertion. But under the pressure of public protests, the Polish authorities meted out suspended sentences to some of them and pardoned the others.
By the time Passover came the following year, Max Wald was serving in the British army. So was Ron Adler, who volunteered for training in England with the Polish navy-in-formation, and then was granted a transfer to the British army. As they sat down at their Seder tables in April 1945, World War II was finally drawing to a close – as was the tragic story of Jewish soldiers who put their lives on the line for the Polish army, only to find themselves victimized by their fellow soldiers.
About the Author: Dr. Rafael Medoff is founding director of The David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, in Washington, D.C., and author of 14 books about the Holocaust, Zionism, and American Jewish history.

Windhoek — Namibian artist, Top Dogg, seems to be on a roll, as his new album is set to grace shelves early February.
His sophomore piece of works titled Heading Top - Reloaded is bound to leave his followers in deep thought as he has now transfixed his eye on a more conscious level of music.
"It is time that we as Namibians stand together and fight as one - not each other. I ask my brothers to stop the killing, stop killing women and children," he pleads mournfully. Top Dogg has taken it upon himself to encourage the youth to have a different take on life, instead of drinking, and doing drugs among other evils.
When one listens to his song, Passion Killings, his favourite, it justifies its title by translating the effects of violence and substance abuse not only to the opposite sex, but ultimately, the children that witness such malevolent scenes. Other songs to note include My Life, a depiction of his journey so far; and Hold On, a subtle call on the youth to disregard negativity and peer pressure.
Furthermore, as opposed to his last album, this one will have 16 tracks, including the award nominated piece My Struggle.
Says Top Dogg: "This one is more mature and I felt the need to have more messages in it. I worked with a lot of locals and artists from Katima and I have already entered the Namas (awards).In addition, the content switches between reggae-tone melodies and hip hop bass and drum, putting it in pole position to entertain any music lover with or without a 'conscious' preference in the realms of music."
He adds that the songs on the album have a message for everybody out there for the year 2013, whether one is a fan or not; adult, youth or child. "Stop killing each other recklessly through driving and drinking. Its time you also forget about holidays, its done and get back to the books. Reduce the drinking please, because last year we even h it a record," he pleads.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 07, 2014
July is National Purposeful Parenting Month, which hopes to foster strong, positive relationships between parents and their children. One goal is development of a love of learning. One way purposeful parenting happens is through modeling of the behaviors parents want to see in their children. A life-long love of reading can be one of the best behaviors parents build. But what can a parent do for a struggling reader who wants no part of books outside of the classroom? While summer should be a time free from the structure of the classroom, there are ways to make reading fun and involve children.

The Bowman City Council is one step closer to finalizing its Downtown Redevelopment Plan after last night's regular meeting.
A decision had to be made last night on whether or not the plan should include sidewalk repairs for the entire square, or just for repairs in a particular section of the square.
Bowman City Councilman Pete Gibbons expressed his opinion on what the plan should include.
"I think the sidewalk is the worst part of the square, and I would like to see something done like in Royston where they have bricks laid out between the light poles so that in the future when you have to dig up the sidewalk you can easily remove the bricks and get through without tearing up all the concrete", said Gibbons.
The council agreed, and the motion made by Gibbons to include the sidewalk repairs into the plan passed with a unanimous vote from the Bowman City Council.
In other matters, the Bowman City Council has agreed to submit a letter of support as requested by Elbert County in their effort to enter into a multi county project to hook up water supplies.
Bowman City Mayor Pamela Johnson said that this could be an opportunity for the city to join in on the project.
"We could let them come around us or join with us, but if we join in it then there is a possibility that we could sell any excess, and if we go to the table and ask that we're apart of that, then we could negotiate with the county and City of Elberton that maybe we could sell water down Highway 17", said Mayor Johnson.
Councilman Pete Gibbons made the motion that Bowman sends the letter of support with the stipulation that Bowman be included in any negotiations that take place in regards to this project.
That motion passed with a unanimous vote from the Bowman City Council.
