The scientific basis of soil science as a natural science was established by the classical works of Dokuchaev. Previously, soil had been considered a product of physicochemical transformations of rocks, a dead substrate from which plants derive nutritious mineral elements. Soil and bedrock were in fact equated.
Dokuchaev considers the soil as a natural body having its own genesis and its own history of development, a body with complex and multiform processes taking place within it. The soil is considered as different from bedrock. The latter becomes soil under the influence of a series of soil-forming factors--climate, vegetation, country, relief and age. According to him, soil should be called the "daily" or outward horizons of rocks regardless of the type; they are changed naturally by the common effect of water, air and various kinds of living and dead organisms.
The outstanding soil-science specialist, P.A. Kostychev (1892), in developing the theory of soil, attaches special importance to biological factors. He considers the soil as a botanist and not as a geologist. On the question of the origin of the chernozem, Kostychev attributes the most essential role to plants and microbes. He writes that chernozem formation is involved with the geography and physiology of higher plants as well an that of lower ones which perform the decomposition of organic matter. The accumulation of soil humus depends on the intensity and completeness of the decomposition of plant residues, the roots and the parts which are above the ground. In these processes Kostychev identifies the most important role with microscopic creatures--fungi and bacteria. Being an excellent microbiologist he carried out interesting experiments on the decomposition of organic matter and the formation of humus. The experiments showed that in different cases the decay of plant residues began in a different way. Sometimes bacteria inhabit decaying matter first, and sometimes fungi emerge first. Various parts of the same decaying matter decompose differently, in one part one organism multiplies and near it an entirely different organism may be found. It is further pointed out that various forms of decomposition change consecutively according to changes in the properties of the decaying substance.
Kostychev (1889) for the first time established that humus is formed by soil fungi, Moreover, the discovery of the regularity of the relationship between carbon and nitrogen (C:N) in soil and of its importance In the development of plants and microbes must be attributed to him. Kostychev revealed the essence of the enrichment of soil humus by nitrogen. During the process of the decomposition of plant residues, which are known to contain no more than 1.5-2% nitrogen, humus with 4-5% of nitrogen is obtained. This transformation of organic matter as may be seen from Kostychev's data, occurs with the aid of microorganisms (see Kostychev, 1951).
With his works Kostychev laid the foundation of soil microbiology. He also outlined a vast program of investigations, the problems of which are at present being solved by Soviet microbiologists.
Vernadskii (1927), who expounded the theory of "bio-inert" natural bodies, wrote that the entire soil is a characteristic "bio-inert" body. All physicochemical properties of the soil would appear considerably different if the living substance in it were not taken into, account. In this way Vernadskii formulated the dependence of the fundamental property of soil upon the organisms lodged in it.
Vil'yams (Russian soil scientist (1863-1939) whose name is thus spelled when transliterated from the Russian, though it may appear as Williams in foreign publications) developing the teachings of Dokuchaev and Kostychev. introduced many new principal elements into the science of soil.
He considers the soil a natural body and means of agricultural production, an attributes to it the new qualitative property of fertility, i. e., the ability to produce plant crops. According to him ,the notion of soil and its fertility are inseparable. He considers fertility an essential property, a qualitative indication of soil independent of the degree of its quantitative expression. We oppose the idea of fertile soil to the idea of sterile stone, in other words to the notion of massive rock (Vil'yams, 1949).
It must be noted, that rocks also possess fertility to some degree. Investigations show that even the hardest rock massifs a are inhabited by various organisms. Lichens develop on their surfaces and often cover large spaces on mountain tops. The upper layer of rock massifs, the so-called weathering crust, is saturated with bacteria and algae, as well as fungi, actinomycetes, protozoa and other organisms. According to our data, in the upper layer of basalt rocks, the bacteria in one grain of substrate number from some tens of thousands to millions. Similar data are also given by other investigators (Novogrudskii, 1950; Glazovskaya, 1950; Parfenova, 1955; Krasil'nikov, 1949 and others).
Rocks differ in their fertility. Some of them are densely overgrown with lichens and microorganisms, others are sparsely covered. There are rocks, or more properly parts of one and the same rock, which are not overgrown with lichens, but contain only certain microbial forms--bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi (Krasil'nikov, 1949b).
Even under arctic conditions, on the islands of the northern Arctic Ocean (Franz Josef Land, Novaya Zemlya, Severnaya Zemlya and other areas) rocks and loose calcareous soils contain a considerable number of microorganisms. Tens of thousands to hundreds of millions were counted in one gram. Moreover, these organisms live actively and carry out biochemical and chemical transformations (Krasil'nikov and Artarnonova, 1958).
In order to study the properties which determine the crop capacity of soil and to increase the soil's fertility by exercising an influence on it, "it is first of all necessary to know these properties, to enumerate them, and to choose from the large number of properties and qualities of soil just those which determine the capacity of soil to produce the products necessary for mankind" (Vil'yams, 1949, p 138). Consequently, Vil'yams inseparably related the theory of soil with the theory of its fertility and its crop capacity.
The principal property of the soil fertility is determined by biological factors, mainly by microorganisms. The development of life in soil endows it with the property of fertility. "The notion of soil is inseparable from the notion of the development of living organisms in it". Soil is created by microorganisms. "Were this life dead or stopped, the former soil would become an object of geology" (Vi'lyams, 1950, p 204). Kostychev and Vil'yams transferred the science of soil from the chapter of geology to the chapter of biology.
The new understanding of the biological essence of the soil-creating processes, which was established by Kostychev and Vil'yams, has given the majority of Soviet microbiologists the principal leading landmarks in their investigations. Microbiology also contributed considerably to the development of this new direction in the science of soil, successfully solving many essential questions of soil fertility.
During the last two decades, microbiology has shown that life processes taking place in soil, were larger and deeper than it had been assumed earlier. Whereas earlier, hundreds of thousands and millions of microbial cells were counted in one gram of soil, at present, with more improved methods of investigation, hundreds of millions and billions are determined. The total bacterial mass on one hectare of the surface layer of fertile soils amounts to five to seven tons. This mass to composed of single cells which live, develop and multiply.
Along with bacteria, a very large number of fungi, actinomycetes, algae, ultramicrobes, phages, protozoa, insects, worms and other living creatures. inhabit the soil. Fungi and actinomycetes are counted in hundreds of thousands and millions in one gram, algae--in thousands and tens of thousands. Quite often their number even amounts to a hundred thousand in one gram of soil. The total mass of these organisms in the upper surface layer of the soil may amount to two-three tons in one hectare.
Analyses show that there is in the soil a great number of phages--actinophages and bacteriophages, which have very intense activity.
No less important is the soil fauna. According to different authors, amoebae, ciliata, and other protozoa are numbered in tens and hundreds of thousands in one gram (Brodskii, 1935, Nikolyuk, 1949; Dogel', 1951). In one square meter of the surface layer of soil some tens to hundreds of larger invertebrates may be found--earth worms, myriapods, larvae of various beetles, etc. The population of small nonmicroscopic arthropods (ticks, Collembola, and others) is numbered in tens and hundreds of thousands in 1 m2 of cultivated soil layer, and in forest soils their number often amounts to a million individuals.
The number of nematodes is sometimes counted in millions per 1 m2. According to the counts of Gilyarov (1949, 1953), the total mass of this fauna comprises several tons (3-4) per hectare of soil.
As seen from the data cited, every particle of soil is saturated with living creatures. The enormous mass of these creatures is in a state of continuous activity during the whole vegetative period. Separate individuals or cells of simpler creatures multiply rapidly and attain astronomical numbers. In the process of life activity the whole soil population carries out work of cosmic importance. It transforms enormous masses of organic and mineral compounds, and continuously synthesizes new organic and inorganic substances.
Various active biocatalysts--metabolites of microbes and other living creatures are found in the soil, including enzymes, vitamins, auxins, antibiotics, toxins and many other compounds. All these substances together with living organisms lend particular properties to the soil, differentiating it from a geological body or a mineral rock.
The biogeny of soil is the most significant indicator of its fertility. As soon as the activity of a microbial population begins in a rock, the first signs of fertility are manifested. The degree of soil fertility is determined by the intensity of the life processes of the microbial population.
Quantitative manifestations of biological processes are diverse and depend upon climatic, and geographic al or topographical conditions, as well as the seasons of the year and other external factors.
The knowledge of life in soil, investigation of biological and biochemical processes taking place in it, are inseparably connected with the knowledge of living organisms inhabiting the soil. Consequently, investigation of the microbial world of the soil is one of the basic problems of microbiology and agrobiology. The knowledge of biological processes, caused by the living population of the soil, should be one of the most important problems of pedology and agriculture.
This work deals with present knowledge of microorganisms, mainly of bacteria, actinomycetes and partly of fungi, inhabiting the soil, of their relationships with higher plants, of the importance of different groups and microbial species in the life of higher plants, and of the effect of metabolic products on growth and yield of agricultural crops.
It should be pointed out that in recent years, in the investigation of the problem of soil fertility. more and more attention in paid to biological factors. A growing interest in microbial population is displayed by plant growers as well as by soil scientists. This to not surprising, since it is impossible to solve problems of pedology, not to speak of agriculture and plant growing, without taking into account the microflora of soil.
The importance of microorganisms in the life of plants, as shown by present data, in very great but still little investigated. A lesser influence on the development and life activity of microbes in the soil is manifested by plants.
The interaction of soil microorganisms with higher plants is very complex and multiform. The effect of the former on the latter may be positive or negative. Depending upon the plant cover on the same soil under equal external climatic conditions, the composition of the microflora changes sharply. Plants are a very strong ecological factor. selecting certain species of bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes and other inhabitants of soil. As a result of wrong agricultural practices and crop rotation, the soil becomes infested with harmful microbial forms. By use of suitable plants in the crop rotation, one may change the microflora of soil in the desired direction, and eliminate harmful organisms, in other words--restore the health of soil.
The influence of soil microorganisms on growth and development of higher plants is of great diversity. The role of microbes is not by any means limited to the mineralization of substances in nature. At present, microorganisms should not be considered as only a link in the circulation of substances, as agents delivering sources of mineral nutrition to plants. Microorganisms of soil display a direct, very essential influence on plants, a positive or negative one depending upon the species and external conditions.
The positive role of symbiotic root-nodule bacteria, mycorhizal fungi and others is well known though little investigated. Great attention in paid to free-living nitrogen-fixing organisms--Azotobacter, Clostridium and others. Fertilizers comprising bacteria and fungi are largely used (azotogen, nitrogen, silicogen, phosphorobacterin and others).
A large chapter of science is devoted to the biology of phytopathogenic bacteria and fungi.
Little investigated and elucidated is the role of the free-living microflora, particularly that which inhabits the root zone. Investigation of the rhizosphere microflora has begun comparatively recently. The data obtained show that its effect on plants to very considerable. Among the rhizosphere microflora there is a large number of species which affect the growth of plants with products of their metabolism. Some microbial species are active producers of various biotic substances vitamins, auxins, amino acids and other substances essential to the growth of plants. Other species are antagonists of phytopathogenic bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Microorganisms of these species strengthen the immunization properties of tissues, thus protecting the plants from infections.
Among the soil microflora there are many organisms which produce toxic substances and suppress the plants; they inhibit their growth and development. It must be assumed that there are in the soil other microbial forms, as yet unknown, exerting a positive or negative effect on plants.
Representatives of useful and harmful microflora inhabit the rhizosphere. Their quantitative ratio in various soils and under various conditions of treatment is different. Consequently, the total effect of the activity of the root zone microflora will not be the same. It may be positive or negative, depending on what microbial species predominates.
In this work the latest information on the importance of this microflora for plants is given.
It is evident that in investigations of the activity of soil microflora exact knowledge of its species composition is necessary, as are exact conceptions of the soil climate and the ecological conditions of its development and accumulation. At present. investigations of soil biology in general, and questions of interaction of microorganisms with higher plants in particular, cannot be resolved with a merely quantitative account of the general composition of the microbes. It is necessary to establish the degree of dissemination of the different species, to investigate their biology and specificity of interaction with the plant, and their interaction with other species of soil microflora. The latter should be an important problem of soil microbiology. Microbial antagonists represent an important ecological factor of development and formation of microbial associations in general and dissemination of individual species in particular.
It is important to point out that the determination of the microbial species and particularly of bacteria is very difficult. The similarity of structure and the lack of external marks of identification does not allow the investigator to recognize, immediately or precisely, the forms and species he is faced with in the analysis of soil or other natural substrate.
We shall not be able to reveal the specificity of the root-zone microflora until we learn to identify and differentiate bacterial species. Without this it is impossible to determine the specificity of biochemical transformations in soil, and, consequently, the site of its fertility is also indeterminable.

Lobo Men's Basketball - In The Pit
Saturday: Lobos 66, Air Force 61
Lobos at Mountain West Tournament - Las Vegas
Thursday: Lobos vs. Colorado State, 3:30 p.m. - Thomas & Mack Center
By Richard Stevens - Senior Writer / GoLobos.com
The ending for Senior Night/Dairese Gary Night was perfect for No. 5 because of the scoreboard.
As much as anything, what makes this special Lobo happy is to look up above the Bob King Floor and see Lobos on the winning side of the board.
It was that way Saturday in The Pit, but New Mexico's 66-61 Mountain West win over Air Force wasn't easy. It was a grind and Gary did a lot of the grinding for the Lobos scoring a team-high 17 points, dishing out seven assists and being clutch at the line with an 11-of-13 effort.
"You have to get a win on your Senior Night," said Gary. "It was stressful, but we came out with the win and afterwards it was an amazing feeling."
The very end of the night ended with Lobos coach Steve Alford talking it up about the point guard who followed Alford to New Mexico. Then Gary said goodbye to The Pit for the last time in regular season.
But this is not the last time Gary plays basketball in a Lobo uniform as New Mexico heads into next week's Mountain West Tournament in Las Vegas likely needing a MWC title in order to push into NCAA play. It not, the Lobos will see postseason via the National Invitational Tournament (NIT).
The Lobos open the MWC dance at 3:30 p.m. against Colorado State. UNM will play as the No. 5 seed and CSU is the No. 4 seed. The Lobos beat the Rams in The Pit. The Rams returned the favor in Fort Collins.
"We owe them something," said Lobo Jamal Fenton, who came off the bench Saturday to spark UNM with 11 points and five boards. "We have to have a better effort than we did last time at their house."
Said Gary: "We are looking forward to playing them. Last time, we didn't put a whole game together. We have been putting whole games together lately, so we'll see what happens on Thursday."
The Lobos' win over Air Force probably doesn't go down as a complete game in the eyes of Coach Alford. The Falcons led most of the first half, went up 31-24 with 3:35 to go, and carried a 33-31 lead into the break.
"It was a big night for us, very emotional," said Alford. "We had to come back off a big win at BYU and then back that up. We knew we had our hands full against a disciplined Air Force team.
March 9-12 - Las Vegas
Wednesday's Game
No. 8 Wyo vs. No. 9 TCU, 3 p.m.
Thursday's Games
No. 1 BYU vs. No. 8/9 Winner, 1 p.m.
No. 4 CSU vs. No. 5 UNM, 3:30 p.m.
No. 2 SDSU vs. No. 7 Utah, 7 p.m.
No. 3 UNLV vs. No. 6 USAF, 9:30 p.m.
Friday's Games
Semis, 7 p.m./9:30 p.m
Saturday's Game
Championship, 5 p.m.
"We were nervous about it. We only had Friday to prepare for them. You have to give their system credit. They make you think."
Said Gary: "It was a test for us. Playing Air Force is always tough."
The Lobos came out in the second half and got a quick steal by Gordon that led to a Gordon dunk. A missed layup by Air Force led to a 3-pointer by Gary and UNM was up 36-33. The Lobos never again trailed.
UNM went up 51-42 at the 8:54 mark on two Gary free throws and UNM massaged that into its 20th win of the season against 11 losses. The Lobos carry an 8-8 MWC mark to the tourney in Vegas.
Air Force made it interesting by clawing to 63-61 with 34 seconds to play, but the Lobos sealed the win with two Kendall Williams' free throws with eight seconds to go.
Alford said his team's "big push" at the end of the season was to get into the No. 4 vs. No. 5 game at the MWC tourney. If UNM gets by CSU, the Lobos most likely would play No. 1 seed Brigham Young, which opens with the winner of the TCU/Wyoming game. BYU hammered Wyoming on Saturday, 102-78.
The Lobos swept the Cougars during the regular season and likely spoiled BYU's shot at a No. 1 seed in the upcoming NCAA tourney. Probably the only way BYU could return to that top spot is by rolling through the MWC tourney.
If UNM reaches the MWC title game, the Lobos most likely would be looking at either UNLV or San Diego State.
Gary was joined in double figures Saturday by Drew Gordon with 13 and Fenton with his 11. "I saw we were a little low on energy and my job is to be a spark off the bench," said Fenton.
Gordon had 10 boards as UNM won that battle, 35-25. The Lobos won this game at the line going 22-of-29 to 4-of-7 for the visitors from Colorado. The Falcons had six more field goals than the Lobos, but couldn't keep the Lobos and Gary off the line.
"Dairese has done a tremendous job for us," said Alford, referring to both a career and a season. "We're really going to miss this guy, but the important thing is he's laid a blueprint for our younger guys to follow.
"He has willed us to win and now we are right in the mix of it."
The mix Alford is talking about is the MWC tourney. The Lobos begin trying to stir things up on Thursday.

Used the centro $2.00 shuttle service from the regional market yesterday and was about the worst run situation I have experienced in quite some time. They picked us up from the overflow parking lot in the field area to go to the fair but dropped us off [at 11.30pm] over near the bus station and we had to walk to our car with no visable monitoring or people around of any kind. They had lights on and all but there were plenty of drunk people and that is a secluded lot. Linning up to get on the bus at the fair was a joke and it looked and felt like it was set up by a bunch of toddlers. There will be trouble there in the comming days if they don't fix the linning up and waiting process.......
And by the way....my biasis are based on the percentages of the crimes that I see in the papers and when figures are released about all the vermin of our society. These are facts not biasis. I am just not afraid to say it. There are plenty of white people and asians and and many other races that are "frustrated" too.... But you don't see the same numbers. My observations [and anybody's if they don't hide behind the "oh they are frustrated" mask] also tell the story. There are plenty of good black people that do take advantage of the good oppurtunities that are presented to them. They are overshadowed by the vermin that you choose to make excuses for......
Society is in this rut because of people like the ones I am speaking of. [the ones that even though they are given a job, or welfare, or health ins. or rent, or teraining] they still look for a way to cheat,steal and scam the system.You take a look around and see things without the filter of of the liberal mindset that everything is happening because they are "frustrated". Wake up.
Ya ok "stopprofiling". keep believing that and watch this country go down the tubes...... They are provided with jobs, money, rent, groceries, education, all means to make things right and good in their lives [and the lives of their 15 children they never seen]. and all they do is use those resources to find a way to scam, steal and deal....... Their are plenty of good black people, but there are way too many still trying to ride that bandwagon that it's because of the white man and it's all frustration. I have worked all my life in and out of factories and I have friends and family that work in govt jobs and they all come back with an overwelming disbelief at how 70 to 90% of these people should not be holding these jobs because they are lying, stealing, racist, with the absolute worst attitude about holding a job and making a living for themselves. They better get themselves in order so that the good respecting hard working honest aren't overwhelmed.......
We could have guessed that. seems like [going by what is reported] about 95 to 98% of the people that settle their disputes with guns and knives are of the .....get this....Non White race.......there I said it.....just stateing the obvious..... and of that 95 to 98% it is about 90% black. When will they learn that they have to throw a thought through their mind for a second before they react to an insult or dissagreement..........
Yes I agree mrsditch, if they want to settle everything with guns and knives then send them where that is the norm [like to war to fight for our country not against our country]. This should not be tolerated in our cities.
Join todays world SSO. Find a way to fund operations without govt. help or sink. Just like our schools, public employees etc.... all have to tighten the belts and look elsewhere for funding. Our politicians are not willing to give up all the perks and pork so it's on our backs as usual.
Why are they not posting what race we should all be looking for on these crimes? I don't get it? Are the crime stats really that lopsided to the point where society feels it has to hide it? If so then everybody should know for exactly that reason. If we don't know it we don't change it. Just pump more money into these crime ridden areas and so now the criminals can buy new and better guns and knives and drugs and so on and so on......
Don't worry folks, soon you won't have to watch the news to see this happening overseas because it will be right in mainstreet America. Our politicians traditionally have only cared about getting re-elected and have been putting all the hard decisions off to future generations. Well it is time to make some hard choices now [and get things in better fiscal shape] or have total collapse of our society. And of course the masses are not going to like it. We are in for some very difficult times no matter what is done now because we are in such rough shape. In order for us to come out of this we must always do what we know [and have been taught by our parents] is right. Good will alway prevail over evil.
Do you think that maybe they should maybe change the formula they use in determining these pensions. Like maybe use a longer period of time to more acurately reflect the lifetime of earnings as oppossed to 3 mos of the highest pay periods. I don't blame him one bit. He worked the hours and the system is set up that way, so why not?
lets see how the ob reacts to this.... want to have some talks with them do you Mr Obama? Or how about those deadly UN sanctions.
Don't worry there Jeremiah, when the OB gets this nation to the point of near total collapse you'll be brought back in as a top advisor and there won't be a damn thing anybody will be able to do about it. He is already doing it now [bringing in total nut jobs to advise him] but he has to do it very carefully and walk the tightrope. Soon he will openly show he doesn't care what anybody else thinks or wants, now he just hints at it. Don't worry there old boy, if you can hang in there a couple more years then you will be relivant again through this idiots policies.
They don't care down there, or at least those involved couldn't be decent enough to get her care. Lets see now, how many millions? O ya and if anybody is found negligent........they will just be shuffeled to another job... lets say like....maybe to a hospital, or a juvinile center. Someplace where their inhumane behaviour won't be heard of again. Well not for 20 years or so.
Crooks, That's all they are. Only they have a license to comit crimes.
Unemployment rates going up and this is painted as good news. Something seem a little out of kilter here? Hope & Change???? More like Smoke & Mirrors!!!!!
No political connections here are there. If this was an average Joe like u or I we would be serving a minimum of 30 years for the things he did.
get these idiots out of office!!!!!!!
Beev........ No you don't but the point being is that we have all these "tree hugger type people" that will have a fit over this and yet they are existing in this hilarious soceity just like everybody else...driving vehicles [using oil], heating homes [using oil] and buying almost anything in this world today is oil based. So if it is so evil and bad then the people that have a problem with it should cut these things out of there life....But they don't and won't. The majority of them anyway.
Here we go libs & tree huggers........No more drilling....I can already hear it..
What in the heck drugs are these politicians taking?

Think the first one pretty much nailed it.
All of them nailed it for me.
Especially the one about pausing an online game. >.>
It should be 'Internet Explorer loads slow on friend's computer. Installs and insists him to use Chrome/Firefox instead'.
You forgot "Fixes something for them a week later and finds they still use Internet Explorer, because that other program 'didn't work right' to them".
depends what it was you "fix" and if they want to use another internet browser, IE does work fine, it's obviously just 'not right for you' much like your choice isn't for them, it's a personal choice not a "fix", browsers don't solve any internal problems. Slow running programs isn't always the fault of the program itself, Chrome/Firefox/Safari/Whatever can and do all have problems too. IE just gets bad rep because it's the default choice.
unless u use the IE app for windows 8 which doesn't support adblocker. Start a random search on google, click on some results and watch your pc suffer from malware
Recommend using Chrome.
Get called in to scrape silver paint off the computer.
"Fix problems"
"Labelled as cause"
My life…
i think all of them nailed it but i have to say the flaming fox being blamed is the funniest

Last chance to have your say on how Household Waste Recycling Centres are run
Wednesday, 13 August 2014
Residents and small businesses in Aldershot, Alton, Basingstoke, Bordon, Fair Oak and Netley are being encouraged to take part in Hampshire County Council's Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) survey.
Responses are welcomed from anyone with an interest in the HWRC service, however with only a week to go before the consultation closes on 22 August, these six sites have the lowest number of responses compared to their visitor numbers.
More than 5,500 surveys have already been completed, telling Hampshire County Council what people would like to see in the future from their local HWRC.
The County Council is looking at different and innovative options for running the HWRC service, partly in response to further reductions in Government funding, but also to see how a modern, value-for-money service can best be achieved for Hampshire.
The HWRC survey can be found online at www.hants.gov.uk/recycling, at local libraries, council offices or by calling 0845 603 5634 and requesting a copy to be posted.
Councillor Seán Woodward, Executive Member for Economy, Transport and Environment at Hampshire County Council, said: "Although we have had a really good response to the consultation, I would still like to encourage people who use a HWRC in Aldershot, Alton, Basingstoke, Bordon, Fair Oak and Netley to take part, so we have a good cross section of views before making any decisions."
Comments are invited on six main areas within the consultation:
- Reviewing the number, location and usage of HWRCs and their suitability to meet the needs of communities now, and in the future.
- Introducing measures to reduce the amount of trade waste wrongly disposed of at sites, which is expensive for the Council to dispose of
- Accepting waste and recyclable material from small local businesses for a fee
- Recovering the costs of the disposal of bulky and hazardous DIY waste such as soil, rubble and plasterboard, which is not classified as household waste and is expensive to dispose of
- Reviewing opening times to reduce site management costs
- Working with charities or communities to increase re-use of furniture and other items, to further reduce the amount sent to disposal.

News of the Weird
By Chuck Shepherd, Universal Uclick : December 5, 2012 : Updated: December 5, 2012 5:09pm
In China, not quite a black-and-white issue
The Wolong Panda Training Base in Sichuan, China, released a series of photos to China Daily in October to mark the graduation from captivity, and into the wild, of 2-year-old Tao Tao. Sure enough, Tao Tao and his mother, Cao Cao, were shown frolicking in the woods, accompanied by trainers each dressed in full-length panda suits, including panda heads, as they appeared to demonstrate climbing trees and searching for food.
Cutting-edge science
A research team at Lund University in Sweden, led by neuroethologist Jochen Smolka, concluded that one reason dungbeetles dance in circles on top of dung is to cool off, according to an October report on LiveScience.com. To arrive at their conclusion, the team went to the trouble of painting tiny silicone "boots" on some beetles to protect them from the ambient heat experienced by a control group of beetles, and found that the booted beetles climbed atop the dung less frequently. Explained Smolka, "Like an air-conditioning unit, the moist (dung) is cooled by evaporati(on)."
In 2011, only 75 worldwide shark attacks on humans were reported, with only 12 fatal, yet researchers writing recently in the journal Conservation Biology found that about 60 percent of all media reporting about sharks emphasized just the serious dangers that human swimmers face. By contrast, only about 7 percent of the reports were focused on shark biology or ecology, though the sorry state of shark survival would seem more important, in that an estimated 26 million to 73 million sharks are killed annually from the harvesting of their fins.

The Scioto County chapter of Church Women United hosted the annual Christmas Store event at Shawnee Mental Health Wednesday.
For more than 30 years, Church Women United has hosted the Christmas Store for clients of Shawnee Mental Health.
Shelby Powell serves as president of the local Chapter of Church Women United and said the organization looks forward to hosting the Christmas Store every year.
The volunteers consisted of members of Church Women United, which is a collaborative effort of women from different local churches, as well as other members within the community.
Gayle Massie, is a professor at Shawnee State University brought five of her students to help at the Christmas Store.
"I have been participating in this event for about 20 years. I teach Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing at Shawnee State, and this helps my students to become aware of community services for the clients," Massie said.
Powell said this year's Christmas Store will serve 75 of the Shawnee Mental Health Clients.
"The caseworkers bring their clients in and they come in groups of about 10-15 people at a time, and they can take clothing or anything that they want. We ask for new, and or lightly used items," Powell said.
Powell said the store is not intended to be a rummage sale, and that the items are gift-wrapped for the clientele.
"We just do this out of the love and goodness of our hearts to help the community, and it is something that they really look forward to," Powell said.
There is a myriad of different items available for the clients to choose from such as clothing, books, electronics, household items and so forth.
Desiree Reeves, a clinician at Shawnee Mental Health said that she is very appreciative for Church Women United's efforts.
"I have been involved with the Christmas store for about 25 years, and we really appreciate what they do for our clients," Reeves said.
Reeves also said the priority this year was to put the single parents first on the list of clients to be served.
"We have to make sure that single parents are taken care of. Next, we assess the needs of the clients and act accordingly depending upon their needs," Reeves said.
Reeves said they are always in need of nice items for their clients with the exception of candles and sharp items.
According to Powell, The Christmas Store dates back to the days in which Shawnee Mental Health was housed in the old Receiving Hospital.
"Back then we would provide gifts for the patients at the hospital. Then it became River Valley Hospital and we continued to set up the store and let the patients come in and shop," Powell said. "Then after the Receiving Hospital was gone, then Shawnee Mental Health moved down here to the old Lute Lumber building, here on Washington Street and they asked us if we would continue to have the Christmas store."
Powell said the organization gladly honored the request to continue the event. She said Shawnee Mental Health provides lunch and light refreshments for the volunteers while they work.
Andrea Young, a member of Church Women United said the Christmas store is joy to participate in.
"It is one of the more delightful things that I do during the holidays. It is a joy watch the people, who otherwise, would not be able to shop, come in get gifts is just a wonderful thing to be able to do and we just enjoy ourselves," Young said.

Richards and Franchi Garner NWC Softball Weekly Awards
SALEM, ORE. -- Junior first baseman Marissa Richards (Newberg, OR/Newberg HS) and senior right-handed pitcher Nikki Franchi (Los Gatos, CA/Saratoga HS) helped Willamette University go 4-0 last week with doubleheader sweeps of Lewis & Clark College and George Fox University. Their efforts have earned the Bearcat duo the Northwest Conference Player of the Week awards in softball for the week ending April 6.
Richards was named NWC Softball Player of the Week after hitting .571 (8 of 14), while providing the Bearcats with seven runs and eight RBIs. She hit for the cycle (single, double, triple, home run) in Willamette's first game against Lewis & Clark on April 5. In that game, she was 4 for 4 with four runs and two RBIs.
During the week, Richards earned at least one hit, one run and one RBI in every game. She achieved a total of seven extra-base hits, with three doubles, one triple and three home runs. Richards recorded 19 putouts and one assist with no errors on defense. She also went 2 for 3 on stolen bases.Franchi gave up just one run while going 3-0 in the circle for Willamette and was chosen NWC Pitcher of the Week. She achieved a 0.41 earned run average and struck out 36 batters in 17 innings pitched, including a career-high 16 strikeouts in WU's first game against George Fox on April 6.
She allowed just six hits during her three appearances. She tossed all six innings in the first game with L&C, threw a complete game in the opener versus George Fox and pitched four of the five innings in WU's second game with GFU.
On offense, Franchi hit .583 with one double, one triple and two home runs while batting in all four games. She walked three times, scored seven runs and had six RBIs.
Franchi also is hitting .583 for the season and owns a 1.10 ERA this spring. She has a 10-2 pitching record with 115 strikeouts in 76 2/3 innings.
Willamette defeated Lewis & Clark 8-0 in six innings on the run rule and 11-3 in five innings on the run rule. The Bearcats downed George Fox 3-0 and 11-1 (5 innings, run rule).
WU is now 16-4 on the season, including 10-2 in the NWC. The Bearcats will return to action on Saturday, April 12 at the University of Puget Sound. First pitch to start the doubleheader is set for 2 p.m. (PDT).

Broken, rushed, and just not very fun. 5
Before we begin about the subject at hand, it would probably be a good idea to give you a little background information about me as a person; it's essential to alleviating my own guilt. I'm a Sonic fan; something in 1991 truly captivated me and it's been hard to shake since then. To me, Sonic games are serious business - and yes, I've made a couple of bad purchases because there was a blue hedgehog on the box. When Sega began sounding the trumpets for Sonic's 15th Anniversary, I was hopeful: Wit...5 out of 6 found this review helpful.
How the Mighty Have Fallen 0
There's a generation of gamers now that are old enough to fondly remember the Sonic the Hedgehog games. This generation may have picked up one of the Genesis games as among the first games they ever owned, if not *the* first games they owned. It had a simple formula, and offered a unique platformer that gave Sega its answer to Mario. To say that time has not been kind to Sonic is like saying it's a bad idea to wear a heavy coat in ninety degree weather. Sonic's games have been on a s...1 out of 2 found this review helpful.
Too Fast Too Furious 0
Oh Sonic the Hedgehog, you were so fantastic back in the olden days when you and Mario fought over supreme rule in the minds of platform lovers. Back when you were more about speed than you were about saving the world, or even defeating Dr. Robotnik. But ever since your second installment things have seemingly gotten staler and staler, like 10 years of old lay's potato chips. Ever since Sonic has emerged onto the 3D video game scene back in his Dreamcast days things have been fairly mediocre if...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.

Let's not beat around the bush. Sonic the Hedgehog is one of the most broken, stomach-churning games I have ever had the displeasure of playing. This is a game that I literally got a stomach ache from playing. It's pointless, and it gives Sonic a really bad name. Yes, even a worse of a name then what Shadow the Hedgehog brought to the table. I love Sonic. Don't get the idea that I'm a Mario fanboy (well, actually I am) that's just trolling. This game is bad. And the opening cutscene brings such...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.

So anyways this is my first review, so I decided to review one of the worst games I have ever played... Sonic the Hedgehog for the PS3. So I know this game is old but I just got it a couple months ago because it was 10 bucks so I thought "eh why the hell not?" so boy was i wrong, I paid at least $15 too much for it, I should have been paid to play it, terrible game. I couldn't get past the first level and not because it was hard, but because it had some of the shittiest controls ever. My biggest...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.
A Sub-Par Reboot To The Sonic Series 0
Sonic The Hedgehog on 360 is the first Sonic game to be released on the current generation of video game systems. This time you play as three different hedgehogs, Sonic, Shadow and Silver, all with their own scenarios and stories as they battle Dr Robotnick and new enemies to save The Kingdom Of Soleana and Princess Elise. Sounds a lot similar to a certain OTHER platformer to me… Lets get things straight however, Sonic The Hedgehog on Xbox 360 is a complete disappointment.

It's gotten to the point where I shed a single tear every time a new 3D Sonic game is announced. Just like the commercial - it's the single piece of trash thrown from the car, I'm the Native American up on the hill. The original franchise had spunk, great graphics, clever level design; the games were a true pleasure to play.

We donate small amounts of our own money to help towards the running costs of the association. Through the church and New Heights, we have been able to obtain access to a number of specialist speakers who have offered information, advice and guidance on a range of issues including integration, immigration, health, education, access to employment, volunteering and trainings, citizenship, debt and money management, access to local services including ESOL courses among others. The group provides a regular support system for all families migrating and settling in Birmingham, and offers informal teaching to the members' children to improve their English and Maths, and teach the English language to newly arrived children. Education and training are very important factors to get employment within the UK as most people without formal training find it difficult to be employed. BUACK is now prepared to offer learning and training opportunities including ICT and life skills to both adults and young people. We planned to offer the following courses for now, Health and safety, Food hygiene, Protection of Vulnerable Adults and Children, CV writing, Emergency First Aid, among others. We use the St. John's Centre of New Heights Community Project to carry out all our activities and manned by parents and volunteers.

(AP) NEW YORK - Shares of Sophiris Bio Inc. tumbled Friday after the drug developer slashed the price of its initial public offering while boosting the number of shares being sold.
Sophiris had to raise $65 million by selling 5 million shares for $13 per share. But it said Thursday it would sell 13 million shares at $5 per share instead.
The company's stock lost 66 cents, or 13 percent, to $4.34 in midday trading.
The underwriters of the IPO have the option to buy another 2 million shares.
Sophiris Bio Inc. is based in Vancouver. It is developing a drug intended to treat symptoms of enlarged prostate.

Davis Cup team given tough tie against Russia
Posted: September 19, 2012|
GREAT Britain will play Russia in a Davis Cup Europe/Africa Zone Group I promotion clash next April after being handed a bye in the first round of the 2013 competition.
Leon Smith's side were the only one of the seven unseeded nations to be given a first-round bye when the draw was held in London yesterday – but their reward was a tie against the top seeds.
It will be a seventh straight match at home for Great Britain, who had won five successive ties to go from the verge of relegation to the lowest tier of Davis Cup to within sight of a return to the World Group before losing to Belgium in April.
That defeat, Smith's first as captain, came without Andy Murray, pictured, who has been an intermittent presence in the team over the past few years and did not play in either of the matches last year.
Were the US Open champion to decide to miss the Russia tie as well, Britain would appear to have little chance of winning against a team relegated from the World Group this year and who were champions as recently as 2006.
Russia have four players in the top 100, including world number 29 Mikhail Youzhny and Nikolay Davydenko, while Josh Goodall is the British number two at 210.
Dan Evans was Britain's hero this year, beating two much-higher ranked players in the win over Slovakia in February, but he has failed to build on those results and is ranked 296th.
All of the last four ties have been played at Glasgow's Braehead Arena and the Lawn Tennis Association will announce the venue for the Russia tie, to be played on April 5-7, in due course.
Laura Robson continued her fine recent form by reaching the quarter-finals of the Guangzhou International Open.
Robson, 18, who made the fourth round of the US Open earlier this month, saw off Chinese second seed Jie Zheng in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3, with the Briton's clinical edge seeing her capitalise on five of her six break-point opportunities.
Robson will face another Chinese opponent in the quarter-finals in the form of seventh seed Shuai Peng, who breezed to a 6-2, 6-1 win over qualifier Nudnida Luangnam.

While watching one of the screencast software demo screencasts, I noticed all the various systray icons on display. Mouser, care to tell us what they all are? I recognize some as software I use, and some as your own software, but a list of what's in there might be interesting. Looking at what's in my friends' systray is one of the ways I find out about new and useful software. Chances are, if it's in your systray, it's become indispensible.
I should have read before I posted; I just found the "Which app stays open on your desktop all day?" topic, which covers this. Mouser, feel free to delete this topic or houseclean however you see fit.

Fall foods, yes, but. . .
I love fall foods! Hearty, steamy dishes of all kinds. Except. . .I'm crazy-tired of hearing about butternut squash, apples, pumpkin pie, turkey, stuffing/dressing, etc.
What are your favorite fall foods that DON'T involve the above? (If you love the above, you can find them all over the interwebs already, thanks).
Happy fall!

Topping it's $56 billion Boeing contract, Emirates airlines goes on another $13 billion splurge
Emirates airline has signed a 12-year agreement with General Electric (GE) for the maintenance, repair and overhaul of its new GE9 engines.
The $13 billion (Dh47.7 billion) OnPoint contract is for the engines that will power the airline's 150 Boeing 777X aircraft that it is buying from Boeing for $56 billion.
The contract was announced by GE in a statement on day one of the Farnborough Air Show in the United Kingdom.
Last November, Emirates announced an order at the Dubai Airshow for the Boeing aircraft to be powered by 300 GE9X engines valued at more than $15 billion at list prices.
GE Aviation said that yesterday's agreement makes the entire deal its largest ever commercial jet engine award from an airline.
"The relationship between GE and Emirates continues to grow with the recent GE9X commitments.
Peak condition
"The OnPoint solution agreement will allow us to provide comprehensive MRO support along with OEM parts and workscopes to ensure the engines remain in peak operating condition," stated David Joyce, president and CEO of GE Aviation.
GE's OnPoint solutions are customised service agreements that are tailored to the operational and financial needs of the airline. According to GE, the agreements reduce the cost of ownership.
Yesterday's deal follows an announcement last week that Emirates had finalised its order for the 150 777X's with Boeing. Emirates has purchasing rights for an additional 50 aircraft, which would take the $56 billion aircraft order to $75 billion at list prices. Emirates negotiated the Dubai Airshow deal for the 777X's with Qatar Airways.
Emirates has 208 Boeing 777s pending delivery.
The 777x is the latest variant of Boeing's best-selling wide body aircraft.
Last month. Emirates cancelled its $16 billion list price order for 70 A350 aircraft with European manufacturer Airbus

Derby County loan stars are in it until the bitter end of promotion bid
Posted: April 03, 2014|
LOANEES Andre Wisdom, Patrick Bamford, George Thorne and Zak Whitbread will be available for the play offs should Derby County be involved.
The Rams are odds-on for a top-six finish for the first time in seven years since winning promotion in 2006-07.
They currently occupy fourth place on 69 points with seven games left to play, and the loan signings have played an important role.
The loans of Bamford and Thorne run to May 31.
Wisdom and Whitbread are contracted to stay with the Rams to May 3 but their stays will be extended automatically for the play offs.
First-team coach Paul Simpson has praised the impact made by the loan signings.
"They have been excellent," he said.
"We are in a position we didn't expect to be in.
"We knew we were coming into a good football club with a good group of players but it has been superb the way it has gone, and the loan signings have made a big contribution in that."
Wisdom has been ever-present at right back since arriving from Liverpool in October and Bamford has scored seven goals in 15 appearances following his move from Chelsea in January.
Thorne has impressed in the last three games after having to wait seven weeks for his debut.
Whitbread is providing back up to the central defensive pair of Richard Keogh and Jake Buxton.
He started three consecutive matches when he signed from Leicester City at the end of September before he picked up an injury. He has been an unused substitute since.

BUFORD — Black Friday is synonymous with buying gifts at low prices, which people take pretty seriously after enjoying the family feast.
To Mandy and David Callaway of Covington, it's a little more special.
"It's just a night out," David Callaway joked.
Mandy Callaway added with a grin, "It's sad that this is a night out for us."
The couple have three children to shop for this time of year, which includes the holidays and birthdays.
"They have birthdays in between Thanksgiving and Christmas," David Callaway said while leaning on the electronics counter at Toys 'R' Us. "We tell the children to make a huge list and we'll give it to family."
On Thanksgiving, the Callaways visit family, eat, then get down to business.
"We meet at my parents' house — that's where the children stay — we eat and look through all of the sale papers, figure out where we're going at what time and what we're going to buy at what time."
But these two were just specks in the crowd compared to how many people left their warms beds and leftover turkey to hunt for the best prices.
Jason and Allison Braswell of Athens started their shopping at 8 p.m. Thursday, when many stores opened. The two had already knocked out Old Navy and Walmart, went home for an hour-and-a-half nap, and started again at Toys 'R' Us.
"This year has not been the easiest, but we always sit down the with paper, we make a list from the kids' list, then we have a notebook (with more information) ... because in different stores, we have different strategies," Allison Braswell said about her battle plan. "This is our third year doing this. With an 8-year-old, Old Navy is where we save the most. We brave that one every year because she loves the clothes."
At BrandsMart USA, Jessie Downing was helping her aunt Laura Clark of Bethlehem with the holiday shopping. Although they didn't have much of a plan, one thing was for sure, they were going to stores in between the doorbuster hours to avoid the "crazy shoppers."
"I used to work at Kmart and I remember preparing the store for 20 minutes of chaos," said Downing, who travels up from St. Marys for the bargain buys. "That's why we planned to go in between the crazy crowds for our shopping."
For decades, stores have opened their doors in wee hours of the morning on the day after Thanksgiving known as Black Friday. But this year, that changed when major chains from Target to Toys 'R' Us opened on Thanksgiving itself, turning the traditional busiest shopping day of the year into a two-day affair.
The earlier hours are an effort by stores to make shopping as convenient as possible for Americans, who they fear won't spend freely during the two-month holiday season in November and December because of economic uncertainty. Many shoppers are worried about high unemployment and whether or not Congress will be able to reach a budget deal by January before a package of spending cuts and tax increases known as the "fiscal cliff" takes effect.
At the same time, Americans have grown more comfortable shopping on websites that offer cheap prices and the convenience of being able to buy something from smartphones, laptops and tablet computers from just about anywhere. That puts added pressure on brick-and-mortar stores, which can make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue during the holiday shopping season, to give consumers a compelling reason to leave their homes.
So those of you who stayed home for the shopping holiday, Cyber Monday is two days away with another round of sales for the holidays. Get ready.

Hope everyone was happy buying cheap stuff the stores couldn't sell sooner, mostly off-brand names. we still have not gotten away from being a materialistic society of needing "must-have-now" stuff. Don't want to hear that you can't pay your house note next week.
