(ABC 6 News) -- She was taken into the trafficking world at age 19. Now, that woman is spreading her message across the country. Stacy Jewell Lewis had been walking home, just like she had every day, when an elderly man offered her a ride. He had been paid to take her directly to her trafficker.
That's what brings her to Rochester. She performs in an awareness event called Breaking the Chains. It's a portrayal of her real life story and effort to spread an important message, that trafficking is still happening everywhere.
"He looks very harmless, maybe I can accept a ride to the train station," said Stacy Jewell Lewis about her abduction. Only 19 at the time, she thought this was just an act of kindness, but when the car passed the station it quickly turned into a nightmare. "They delivered me to the trafficker who held me at gunpoint at that time," she said.
From there it all happened so fast. "As they're transporting me to another city, I am immediately drugged and I'm told the rules of this lifestyle," said Stacy.
A lifestyle she couldn't break free from for more than a year, being threatened and brain washed. "There's nothing short of rape, of beatings, of trauma," she said. She was one of the oldest girls there too. "I saw 13 year old girls and 14 year old girls," she said.
Girls just like her who were tricked and taken. Something that many don't realize happens all over the United States. "Minnesota's deemed number 13 as far as highest level state where trafficking incidents happen," said Stacy.
That's what brought her to Rochester, to spread awareness of this issue on stage. "We just go around and we use the performing arts to bring awareness and it's powerful because it gives survivors a chance to speak," she said.
She and Rochester officials were there letting people know this is a real problem. It can happen to anyone. "They bring us together to share that, yes in fact, it is going on here. It's happening here in Rochester. It's happening in Olmsted County. It's happening in our region," said Olmsted County Attorney Mark Ostrem.
Stacy wishes someone would have warned her and that's the number one reason why she travels across the country to share her story. "It's happening every day and it's happening right here," she said.
There was a panel discussion at the end of the event with city officials including undercover agents. We were asked not to show them so they could remain anonymous. If you missed tonight's event, there's another one Saturday. That begins at 8:30am at Assisi Heights in Rochester. It goes until 1:00pm.

Students come to New York University School of Law from varied lifestyles but the student expense budget reflects a simple lifestyle; that of a graduate student. The Office of Student Financial Services develops student expense budgets that estimate a student's annual projected educational expenses, including:
- Tuition
- Fees
- Living Expenses (includes housing)
- Books
- Health Insurance
This budget governs the total amount of aid (loans or a combination of grants and loans) that is available to a student in any given year. Students may not borrow in excess of the approved budget.
Budget Adjustments
We realize that students come to the Law School from varied backgrounds, experiences, and lifestyles; however, the student expense budget allows for a simple lifestyle—that of a graduate student. If a student has legitimate educational expenses that cause him/her to exceed his/her student budget, the Office of Student Financial Services can adjust a budget once appropriate documentation is reviewed and approved.
Students requesting a budget adjustment must complete the Request for Budget Increase form and submit it to the Office of Student Financial Services for processing. This worksheet is required and becomes part of your student financial aid file.
NOTE: The Request for Budget Increase for a given academic year is available beginning October 1 of that year.

Keith Richards' daughter cancels gig
Keith Richards' model daughter Alexandra cancelled a gig in France this week (beg18Jul11) after her boyfriend was struck down with a nasty virus.
The model/DJ was due to play at a private party in St. Tropez on Wednesday night (20Jul11), but decided against flying in from Italy because her partner Nick Cohen had fallen sick with "Mediterranean flu" and been advised not to travel.
Richards' representative tells the New York Post's gossip column Page Six, "Alexandra must be by his side. They were both looking forward to DJing. I don't know what the 'Mediterranean flu' is, but he did come down with flu-like symptoms and was advised not to travel."

Analysis of the baseline survey on the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in holdings with breeding pigs, in the EU, 2008 - Part B: factors associated with MRSA contamination of holdings
A European Union-wide baseline survey on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was conducted in 2008 in holdings with breeding pigs. A total of 1,600 holdings housing and selling mainly breeding pigs (breeding holdings), and 3,473 holdings housing breeding pigs and selling mainly pigs for fattening or slaughter (production holdings) from 24 Member States and two other European countries were included in the survey. Pooled dust samples collected from holdings were tested for MRSA. The likelihood of a limited set of holding-level factors to be potentially associated with MRSA-positive holdings were analysed by multiple regression analysis, separately for breeding and for production holdings. These analyses showed that the risk of holdings of being contaminated with MRSA increased as the number of breeding pigs in the holding increased, in both breeding and production holdings. Analyses at country-level demonstrated a strong positive association between the prevalence of MRSA-positive breeding holdings and MRSA-positive production holdings, suggesting a vertical dissemination of MRSA between the holdings. A complementary country-level analysis using TRAde Control and Expert System data on intra-Community trade further disclosed strong positive associations between the prevalence of MRSA-positive holdings with breeding pigs and the volume of imported breeding pigs, and a proxy for numbers of imported breeding pigs at risk of being colonised with MRSA. Further investigation of the diversity of MRSA Staphylococcus protein A types (spa-types) showed that the distribution of spa-types differed significantly between countries. Spa-types belonging to lineages MRSA ST1, ST5, and ST8 tested negative for Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) toxin genes, suggesting that these strains were not related to the PVL-positive MRSA strains known in human medicine. Further investigations of risk factors for MRSA holding contamination at country level, as well as investigations on prevention and intervention measures to contain MRSA contamination in pig holdings are recommended.

A European Union-wide survey was carried out in parallel with a baseline survey on Salmonella in holdings with breeding pigs to assess the prevalence and diversity of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in pig primary production and to provide information on potential factors associated with its prevalence. The survey distinguished between breeding holdings (holdings housing breeding pigs and delivering replacement breeding pigs to breeding holdings and production holdings) and production holdings with breeding pigs (holdings housing breeding pigs and producing mainly pigs for fattening or slaughter). The samples for MRSA detection were taken concomitantly in the same holdings that were selected for the Salmonella spp. investigation, between January and December 2008. Environmental dust samples were collected from five different pens per holding. These samples were pooled per holding and analysed to determine whether the holding was contaminated with MRSA or not. All isolates were sub-typed by Staphylococcus protein A typing (spa-typing). A total of 5,073 holdings with breeding pigs with validated results from the European Union (24 Member States), Norway and Switzerland were included in the survey analyses, corresponding to information on 1,600 breeding holdings and 3,473 production holdings. The analysis of the prevalence of MRSA-positive holdings was carried out earlier and was published by the European Food Safety Authority on 24 November 2009 in the Part A report. The present Part B report contains a risk factor analysis for MRSA contamination of breeding and of production holdings, a correlation analysis between MRSA prevalence in breeding and in production holdings, as well as an investigation of the association between intra-Community imports of breeding pigs and MRSA prevalence of a country. In addition, further analyses of the distribution of the spa-types of MRSA isolates across Europe, as well as the results of the tests for Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) genes in a subset of isolates originating from the baseline survey, are also included.
Additional data on a limited set of holding-level factors collected by the participating countries as part of the Salmonella survey, were investigated with respect to their association with the likelihood of a holding to be MRSA-positive. This included the date of sampling during the year, the types of breeding holdings (nucleus or multiplier) and production holdings (farrow-to-finish, farrow-to-weaner or farrow-to-grower), the size of the holding, the gilt and boar replacement policies of the holding, and the days of delay between sampling and testing in the laboratory. The likelihood of these factors to be potentially associated with MRSA-positive holdings were analysed by multiple regression analysis, separately for breeding and production holdings. The results showed that the risk of holdings of being contaminated with MRSA increased as the number of breeding pigs in the holding increased, both among breeding and production holdings. This effect might reflect a greater risk of introduction and/or of within-holding diffusion of MRSA in larger holdings, for example through a more intensive introduction of replacement breeding stock, but also the impact of other unmeasured underlying risk factors that are associated with structural characteristics and/or managerial practices typical for larger holdings. In addition, the risks of breeding holdings and production holdings being contaminated with MRSA varied significantly between countries even when accounting for the effect of the holding size.
As breeding pigs are intensively traded within and between Member States and may, once colonised, disseminate MRSA to destination holdings, the association between the prevalence of MRSA-positive breeding holdings and the prevalence of MRSA-positive production holdings in a country was investigated and a strong, positive association was observed. Moreover, country-level analyses using TRACES (TRAde Control and Expert System of the Community) data on intra-Community trade of breeding pigs further disclosed a strong, positive association between the prevalence of MRSA-positive holdings and the volume of imported breeding pigs in the country. This association was particularly strong with a proxy for the number of imported breeding pigs that are at risk of being colonised with MRSA. This proxy was obtained by summing the country-of-origin-specific combinations of the number of imported breeding pigs and MRSA holding prevalence. These positive associations are suggesting of a vertical (top-down) dissemination of MRSA in the pig production pyramid within the country and also that the risk of MRSA contamination of holdings with breeding pigs in a country increases as the volume of imports of breeding pigs from countries with MRSA increases.
An important diversity in MRSA spa-types was observed in the European Union, and the spa-type distributions of MRSA isolates were found to vary significantly between participating countries. MRSA isolates with spa-types belonging to lineages ST1, ST5 and ST8, which are spa-types known in human medicine, were tested for PVL toxin genes. None of the tested isolates tested positive for PVL toxin genes, suggesting that those strains were not related to PVL-positive, Community-Associated MRSA strains prevalent in some parts of the world in humans.
Since only a limited set of factors potentially associated with MRSA-positive holdings were analysed in the framework of the survey, it would be useful to perform further national studies to identify more closely the factors that put holdings with breeding pigs at risk of MRSA contamination in specific countries. Also investigations on the impact of addressing MRSA through on-farm biosecurity and managerial practices are needed as a basis for the development of potential, future, measures of prevention and intervention. In particular, it would be important to investigate measures to prevent the introduction of MRSA into MRSA-negative holdings, such as the checking of the MRSA status of replacement breeding pigs. Furthermore, it is advisable to characterise MRSA isolates derived from pigs by using molecular typing methods in order to follow the diversity of the MRSA population.

Christopher Schroeder
ReInventing the University
Literacies and Legitimacy in the Postmodern Academy
Also by Schroeder - Diverse by Design
"Discussions of critical pedagogy, if they ever were only for a "radical fringe," are so no more, but rather are moving to central position in the field's pedagogical and theoretical concerns." "Schroeder has produced a book that will do much to advance our understanding of these concerns...[His] concept of "constructed literacies" poses a provacative pedagogical and theoretical challenge that I am sure will be much discussed and debated. . . . I think "cinstructed literacies" represents a posistive advance over much existing work in critical pedagogy." —Patricia Bizzell
Christopher Schroeder spends almost no time disputing David Bartholomae's famous essay, but throughout ReInventing the University, he elaborates an approach to teaching composition that is at odds with the tradition that essay has come to represent.
On the other hand, his approach is also at odds with elements of the pedagogies of such theorists as Berlin, Bizzell, and Shor. Schroeder argues that, for students, postmodern instability in literacy and meaning has become a question of the legitimacy of current discourse of education. Schroeder is committed, then, to constructing literacies jointly with students and by so doing to bringing students to engage more deeply with education and society.
To accomplish this, of course, he must advocate rebalancing instruction to a more radically student-centered curriculum. This does not mean he abandons traditional discourse or traditional practice in the classroom; rather, tradition becomes only one voice among many in the classroom, instead of being the dominating one. ReInventing the University is an extended discussion of why Schroeder feels this is necessary, how he tries to construct literacies that have legitimacy with students, and what his experiences could mean for classrooms, departments, and disciplines.
Along the way, Schroeder includes parallel voices of dissent and evaluation from his students, administrators, and his colleagues, plus responses written especially for this book by Peter Elbow and Victor Villanueva. Few other books in this field engage contrary positions with such respect and honest dialogue.
A challenging, path-breaking work, ReInventing the University articulates a new standard by which pedagogy in composition must now be considered.

Utah forecast: Spring weather to warm body, and soul
The mystic soul of poet Rainer Maria Rilke seemingly foretold Utah's forecast when he penned these words: "Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems."
Whether in rhyme or prose, that sums up weather Thursday. Temperatures will hover around 70 degrees along the Wasatch Front under sunny skies, up a few degrees from Wednesday's forecast when partly cloud horizons were the rule.
Southern Utahns expected springtime perfection on Thursday, when temperatures were to sigh into the mid-80s under clear, sunny skies after Wednesday's forecast for the upper-70s under partly cloudy skies.
The Utah Division of Air Quality flew its "green," or healthy for breathing banners statewide through the midweek period.
Even allergy suffers were catching a break. The Intermountain Allergy & Asthma website on Wednesday reported all pollen counts as "low" on its index.

Those of you who have been following our brick saga will no doubt recall, on page 16 of our January 6th edition, the bizarre brick brought down from Scotland by Jeff Pritchard, a former builder who had found it a couple of decades ago in Kingswinford after demolishing a row of cottages.
It bore the name Solomon Dingley and the company which made it, Ketley. During his chat with the Bugle, Jeff mentioned that Ketley were later taken up by Pensnett firm Hinton Perry and Davenhill, of Dreadnought brick and tile fame. He also recalled that the Dreadnought works had been known, in his youth and much earlier, as No Mons, due to the unusually high number of women workers employed there years ago.
So we were pleasantly surprised when we got a call from Ken Bird, production manager at Hinton Perry and Davenhills Dreadnought works, to tell us that the firm had a couple of photographs we might be interested in; one of which dated from the No Mons days. Better still, both Dreadnought Tiles and the Ketley Brick Company are still alive and well at the site, and remain in the hands of the Davenhill family.
The photographs in question hang in the entrance hall of the works, a low-roofed Victorian building which exudes industrial history every bit as much as the pictures do. In 1925, according to the evidence of one of the pictures, there were indeed no men to be found on the factory floor - and most of the twenty-six females were barely into womanhood. The only man with the group is Mr Perry, at far right. Many of the girls must only have been teenagers, and some on the front row have their arms around each other in the way that they would have done at school. Yet, despite the dusty, no doubt heavy nature of their work, they look a pretty happy bunch. Thankfully most of the names were preserved along with the picture, and they are as follows.
Back row, from left: Molly Hughes, May Walker, Annie Hughes, Daisy Hill, ?, Ethel West, Lily Marsh, Daisy Kempton, Minnie Caswell.
Middle row: ?, Sally Taylor, Louis Malpass, Minnie Malpass, ?, ?, Elsie Bonsor, Mr Perry.
Front row: Mary Jones, Sally Cook, Eliza Taylor, Lizzie Bates, Linda ___, ?, ?, Alice Marsh, ? and Bertha Flavell.
Displayed alongside this picture in the entrance hall is an earlier image, this one dating from 1912, and showing an exclusively male group. All are in just the sort of attire wed expect of the period and the area; white shirts with rolled-up sleeves, boots, waistcoats and the trademark flat cap. Their names, with just a few omissions, are as follows:
Back row, from left: Enoch Norrey, ?, Billy Smith, Joe (Runner) Priest, Frank Hughes, ?, ?, ?, ?.
Middle row: David Jones (Dave Prop) Foreman Bricklayer, Will Loat, Enoch Parkes, Tom Raybould, Yard Foreman, ?, Big Jim Westwood, Bricklayers Labourer, Joe Southall, Head Kilnburner.
Front row: ?, Little Joey Darby, Jack Marson, ?, ?, ?.
There has been a brickworks on this site since 1805, two hundred years this year, and the most striking thing about the Dreadnought works today is just how little it has changed, in several respects, in the last century or so. There are new buildings, new machinery and up to date working practices, but the modern is blended in seamlessly with the traditional. There are machines here which have been producing bricks since before those men were pictured in 1912, and there are workers here practising skills which date back far earlier.
The well-known Ketley Pavers are pressed on an eighty year old machine which was originally powered, via belts in the ceiling, by a large engine. Now it has its own electric motor and is caged for safety, but is still working as well as ever and churning out the iron-hard blue pavers in exactly the way it always has done. But that is a mere youth in comparison to another machine that is put to use regularly here; a hundred year old hand press which is operated by two men taking a lever each. Amongst its tasks is one of the most modern - the large blistered bricks which line pavements at the edge of a zebra crossing.
The Dreadnought works traditional approach to manufacture is reflected in its output. The forty or so staff produce special bricks and tiles to order, but even their standard shapes and sizes are different from a lot of what is widely available these days. As theyre made the way they always were, using local clay from the firms own Ketley quarry, the tiles, for instance have a slight variety in their colours, which blend together to give a wonderfully warm hue that cannot be replicated with the artificially-coloured concrete tiles seen on a lot of roofs.
Specially-ordered bricks and tiles are made by hand in the same way as they have been for generations, using hand-made wooden boxes to mould and shape the wet clay. Steve Cartwright (pictured) was busy finishing off by hand a huge brick, the clay still wet, when we made our visit. It will require a month or so to dry out before being gas-fired in a modern kiln. These kinds of bespoke items are often used in the renovation of Victorian buildings and canalsides, as are the Staffordshire Blue

Paper dolls are the perfect emergency boredom-buster to have on hand, at least if you're our family; every fall, a bunch of annoying colds and coughs descend on my children, leaving at least one of them at any given time home on a school day, moaning "I'm boooooored." I'm loving this wonderful Etsy find as an alternative to 12-hour movie marathons.
We're already big fans of the gorgeous collectible carved Alice in Wonderland dolls at Etsy shop Cart Before the Horse, but we're so happy to find their awesome articulated paper-animal dolls which are just as lovely.
Personally, I think if anything's going to make a lethargic four-year-old smile, it's a striped-sock-clad, plie-ing pink elephant–or a Big Bad Wolf or a dragonfly named Lulu. And I'll take any of those over another auto-tuned episode of The Backyardigans any day. –Stephanie S.

Editorial: An appetite for food trucks, after all
Apparently, we were wrong.
It happens!
Not so long ago, we surmised in this space that Chapel Hill's Town Council didn't want to see popular food trucks trundling around the community.
But last week, as The Chapel Hill Herald's Gregory Childress reported, council members sent an entirely different message.
They voted to cut an exorbitant vendor regulatory fee from $600 to $200, starting in July.
Tasty decision, we think.
It's a decent compromise amount for the permit – not as low as the bigger cities in the Triangle, but enough to help Chapel Hill pay for the cost of keeping an eye on health and safety issues with these vendors.
We don't envy council members, who have to balance a budget that's a fraction the size of larger metropolitan areas while trying to provide extra opportunities for the town of Chapel Hill.
The sky-high $600 fee, approved in January 2012, just proved far too much for most food truck operators. We sympathize with them too. After all, their budgets often are even less than Chapel Hill's. So, the town priced itself out of the market for more than a year, selling only two permits, and both of those were to Baguettaboutit.
"The fee was a choking point for us," said Tracy Livers, operator of Olde North State BBQ.
The new fee makes Chapel Hill more accessible. She plans to buy a permit this summer.
We're glad to hear that and we hope other food truck operators will take the opportunity to give Chapel Hill a try. When students return to UNC this fall, they may find a growing assortment of mobile dining options roaming around Franklin Street.
The council also approved two amendments for their food truck ordinance. One allows the trucks to handle catering, while the other clears trucks to participate in food truck rodeos. Organizers of those food truck rodeos would need to pay an annual $200 specialty market fee.
We commend the Town Council for giving food truck operators and Chapel Hill residents an opportunity to share in the culinary craze that has proven so popular in Durham and Raleigh.

The Los Angeles Clippers really didn't have an enjoyable year.
But there is something enjoyable to look for.
The off-season. In the 2010 NBA Draft, the Clippers are projected to get Cole Aldrich. But what's the point in that when you have Blake Griffin, Drew Gooden, and Chris Kaman?
But even if they do get him, it won't fill in the spot the Clippers need to fill in at the most: small forward.
Let's face it, the Los Angeles Clippers are weak at that spot. I don't think there's a chance in the world they are able to land LeBron James. Don't expect it. The Clippers best bet is Rudy Gay.
But my idea is to not get Rudy Gay.
"Why not, he's the perfect fit!" is probably some NBA fan would say. But there is someone else who would probably fit in this Clippers' system better.
Joe Johnson.
Johnson is the missing man in Los Angeles.
"But he is a shooting guard," is another thing you might say. Yes, yes, he is in fact a shooting guard. And yes, the Clippers already have their shooting guard for the future in Eric Gordon.
And no, I'm not saying he won't be a point guard. He just doesn't fit there and that spot is reserved for Mr. Beardman Baron Davis.
So where the hell we he be?
Well, there's one obvious choice here, ain't it? Small forward. The Clippers need a scorer, and Johnson is coming off a year with 21.3 PPG, 4.9 APG, and 4.6 RPG.
Those stats, to me, make it good enough for him to be a small forward. Along with that, check out his size, too. He's a 6'8" 240-pound athlete with speed. He's a lot of gas left in the tank and at 28 years old: can make a difference for L.A.
Baron Davis has already proven a while ago he's a fierce point guard. I've seen Eric Gordon play in college and on his way up to the NBA, and he's damn good.
Chris Kaman is coming off a great season. And even though Blake Griffin was out last year, it doesn't mean he's bad. He's questionable. But Johnson is the missing key.
Maybe the Clips can finally make the playoffs, with this guy.

California Has Missed Equivalent
Of Full Year of Rain in Ongoing Drought
Over the past three years of severe drought, California has accumulated a rain "debt" equal to a year's worth of precipitation, NASA
Drought conditions in the U.S. West
in the
Journal of Geophysical Research — Atmospheres
. The state is roughly 20 inches behind in total precipitation, the scientists calculate, which is the average amount expected to fall in the state in a single year. The deficit has been driven primarily by a lack of extreme precipitation events known as atmospheric rivers — water vapor-rich air currents that move inland from the Pacific Ocean — which, in an average year, provide 20 to 50 percent of California's precipitation. The researchers found that California also had a 27.5-inch precipitation deficit between 1986 and 1994. However, the state's population, industries, agriculture, and water demand have grown significantly since that time.

If Alaska's Pebble Mine Proceeds
The proposed Pebble Mine in southwestern Alaska is a project of almost unfathomable scale. If the copper- and gold-mining project proceeds, the mine would cover 28 square miles and require the construction of the world's largest earthen dam — 700 feet high and several miles long — to hold back a 10-square-mile containment pond filled with up to 2.5 billion tons of sulfide-laden mine waste. All this would be built not only in an active seismic region, but also in one of the most unspoiled and breathtaking places on the planet — the headwaters of Bristol Bay, home to the world's most productive salmon fishery. In a photo essay, landscape photographer Robert Glenn Ketchum documents the lands and waters at risk from the project, whose fate is currently wending its way through the courts.

President Obama Announces
Major New Limits on Interstate Ivory Trade
President Obama has announced
strict new limits
aimed at stemming the global ivory trade which, when implemented,
FWS crushed illegal ivory trinkets in Times Square.
would nearly ban all ivory trade within the United States. The measures also include new restrictions on when ivory can be exported to other countries. "We're proposing a new rule that bans the sale of virtually all ivory across state lines," Obama said at a press conference in Kenya on Saturday. Current laws in the U.S. are aimed at controlling the import and export of ivory, while allowing some legal trade among states — a loophole that many illegal ivory dealers have used to their advantage. The new regulation, expected to be finalized later this year, would restrict ivory trade between states to items that are over 100 years old or contain only very small amounts of ivory. The U.S. is estimated to be the world's second largest ivory market, with sales outpacing all nations except China.
With Camera Drones, New Tool
For Viewing and Saving Nature
In a career spanning four decades, award-winning filmmaker Thomas Lennon has tackled topics as diverse as the Irish in America and a
polluting chemical plant in China
. But it was his current project — a short film about the Delaware River — that opened his eyes to what he sees as a revolutionary new tool for viewing the natural world: the camera drone. In an interview with
Yale Environment 360
, Lennon — who produced a
video of drone images from the Delaware
— describes how drones are a major innovation that allows filmmakers to capture images from vantage points never before possible. "There's an opportunity for visual excitement, but combined — and this is the key — with intimacy," Lennon says. "And I think that can become a tool for artists as well as for environmentalists."

Algae Could Be Environmentally
Friendly Livestock Feed, Research Finds
Algae could replace corn as feed for cattle and other livestock, according to
published in the
Journal of Animal Science
. Algae — hardy
Algae-based cattle feed
microorganisms that can grow in a variety of environments and laboratory settings — require less fertilizer, water, land, and herbicides than corn, and thus could prove to be an environmentally friendly alternative for livestock feed, researchers say. The materials used in the new study were remnants of algae grown and processed for other applications, such as cosmetics, cooking oil, and biofuels, and would otherwise have been burned as waste. The researchers found that even these pre-processed leftovers were able to provide the same amount of protein as corn, along with slightly more fat. Cattle in the study readily ate the algae at a variety of concentrations and maintained their body weight as well as corn-fed cattle. Researchers say the algal meal could be priced to compete with corn and could be on the market by 2016.

California Almonds Have
Smaller Climate Impact Than Many Foods
California almonds could become carbon-neutral or even carbon-negative if growers were to make full use of practices such
Almonds growing in an orchard
as shell, hull, and biomass recycling, according to new research in the
Journal of Industrial Ecology
. Eighty percent of the world's almonds come from the drought-stricken state, and production operations there have drawn much ire since
studies showed
that almonds are a particularly water-intensive crop. However, the new research shows that the energy and greenhouse gas footprints of almonds can be lessened by, for example, using shells, hulls, and orchard biomass to generate electricity or feed dairy cows. "Our research shows 1 kilogram of California almonds typically results in less than 1 kilogram of CO2 emissions," said author Alissa Kendall, which is "a lower carbon footprint than many other nutrient- and energy-dense foods."

Most States Have Curbed
Power Plant Emissions Ahead of EPA Rule
A large majority of U.S. states — 42 of 50 — have already cut power plant carbon emissions ahead of the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan, whose rules will be finalized next month,
according to
an analysis published this week. The plan requires each state to limit emissions from its power plants; to do this, many states have closed coal-fired plants and replaced them with natural gas power plants, which release less carbon dioxide. In fact, the report found, the 42 states that have already lowered power plant carbon emissions did so by an average of 19 percent between 2008 and 2013. The report was conducted by the sustainability advocacy group Ceres, the Natural Resources Defense Council, Bank of America, and four large utilities. "Most parts of the country are firmly on the path toward a clean energy future, but some states and utilities have a longer way to go, and overall the carbon emissions curve is not bending fast enough," Ceres' president, Mindy Lubber, said.
Interview: The High Environmental
Cost of Illicit Marijuana Cultivation
As some U.S. states move to legalize marijuana, one issue has been largely ignored in the policy debates: the serious

environmental effects of the marijuana industry. A new paper co-authored by ecologist Mary Power details many of those impacts by focusing on marijuana cultivation in California, where most of the marijuana consumed in the U.S. is grown. In an interview with
Yale Environment 360
, Power describes how California growers siphon off scarce water resources, poison wildlife, and erode fragile soils. What's needed, she contends, is legalization of marijuana at the federal level, which would likely drive down marijuana prices. "As long as there is a market that will pay enough to compensate for the brutally hard work they do to grow this stuff in forested mountains," she says, "then it will keep growing."

reports. Mountaintop removal (MTR) mines have recently been subjected to additional stringent regulations. For example, MTR operations planning to discard excess rock and soil in streams must now secure extra permits from the Environmental Protection Agency. Tennessee is considering banning some types of MTR mining altogether, and a federal stream protection rule expected to be proposed this summer could place additional limits on the practice. Lower demand for U.S. coal in general can be attributed to competitive natural gas prices, renewable energy growth, flat electricity demand, and environmental regulations, the EIA says.

according to
an analysis published in the journal

. Autonomous taxis are projected to cut carbon emissions primarily through a process known as "right-sizing," or deploying a car that is specifically tailored to match occupancy needs of each particular trip. Right-sizing is cost-effective for both the fleet owner and for passengers, the researchers say, and companies and research groups are currently exploring how to efficiently manufacture small one- and two-seat vehicles. Optimal routing, smoother acceleration and braking, and a cleaner electric grid in 2030 would also contribute to lower carbon emissions. Autonomous taxis are projected to reduce emissions by 63 to 82 percent compared to hybrid cars likely to be on the road in 2030, and by 94 percent over a 2014 gasoline-powered model, the study found.

Water Usage for Fracking
Has Increased Dramatically, Study Shows
Oil and natural gas fracking requires 28 times more water now than it did 15 years ago, according to
a study
by the U.S.
Water use in fracking operations in the U.S.
Geological Survey. The increased water demand is attributed to the development of new, water-intensive technologies that target fossil fuels in complicated geological formations, the researchers say. The amount of water used
varies greatly
with location, the study found. A fracking operation in southern Illinois, for example, can use as little as 2,600 gallons of water each time an oil or gas well is fracked. That figure jumps to more than 9 million gallons in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and south and eastern Texas. Fracking is often concentrated in arid regions and could exacerbate existing water shortages, especially as water requirements for fracking continue to increase. Most of the water used for fracking is disposed deep underground, removing it from the water cycle.

Residential Solar Panels Are
Net Win for Utility Companies, Analysis Says
Households and businesses with solar panels deliver greater benefits to utility companies than they receive through programs

an analysis
of 11 case studies from across the U.S. by the advocacy group Environment New York. Net metering programs credit solar panel owners at a fixed rate — equal to or less than the retail price of electricity — for providing the excess power they generate to the grid. Utility companies have been fighting those credits in recent years, saying that solar panel owners don't pay a fair share of grid maintenance and other overhead costs. However, all 11 studies showed that solar panel owners provide net benefits to their respective utility systems, Environment New York says, including reduced capital investment costs, lower energy costs, and reduced environmental compliance costs. The median value of solar power across all 11 studies was roughly 17 cents per unit, compared to the nation's average retail electricity rate of about 12 cents.

Fuels from Canadian Oil Sands
Have Larger Carbon Footprint, Analysis Says
Gasoline and diesel refined from Canadian oil sands have a significantly larger carbon footprint and climate impact than
Oil sands extraction in Alberta, Canada
fuels from conventional crude sources, according to
an analysis
by the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory. Oil sands-derived fuels will release on average 20 percent more carbon into the atmosphere over their lifetime — and possibly up to 24 percent more — depending on how they are extracted and refined, the study says. Methane emissions from tailing ponds and carbon emissions from land disturbance and field operations also contribute to the higher carbon footprint. "This is important information about the greenhouse gas impact of this oil source, and this is the first time it has been made available at this level of fidelity," said Hao Cai, the Argonne researcher who led the study. Roughly 9 percent of the total crude processed in U.S. refineries in 2013 came from the Canadian oil sands, and that percentage is projected to rise to 14 percent by 2020.

after a vote
yesterday by the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council. The 38,000-square-mile zone encompasses waters at the edge of the continental shelf, from Virginia to Massachusetts, and includes 27 deep sea canyons, some of which are nearly 100 miles long and are as deep as the Grand Canyon. Their steep walls are excellent habitat for a rich array of coral species that thrive in cold Atlantic waters. The new protections will shield rare, vulnerable, and ecologically important coral communities from bottom fishing and trawling — a highly destructive practice that involves dragging nets along the ocean floor, often destroying thousand-year-old coral communities in the process.

The first quarter of any given year typically sees the fewest solar installations because of winter weather, the group notes, but the period from January through March of this year saw a solid increase over last quarter — 11 percent — and a 76 percent increase over the same period last year. The average cost for a residential solar system is now $3.48 per watt, or 10 percent lower than this time last year, the SEIA report says. It also notes that, cumulatively through the first quarter of 2015, nearly one-fourth of all residential solar installations have now come on-line without any state incentives.

level since the 1980s, reducing CO2 emissions from power plants by 1.6 billion tons per year, according to an
by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). The Clean Power Plan, which was proposed last June, sets goals for reducing carbon emissions from existing power plants by 2030. Under the plan, power sector CO2 emissions are projected to fall 25 percent below 2005 levels by 2020, and 34 percent below 2005 levels by 2030, the EIA analysis found. That would bring CO2 emissions from the power sector down to levels not seen since the early 1980s, the report notes.

Many Trees in Southeast U.S.
Closely Related to Tree Species in Asia
DNA studies show that more than half the trees and shrubs in southern Appalachia
can trace their ancestry to eastern Asia.
A flowering dogwood tree
Based on molecular studies of more than 250 species of trees and shrubs from Georgia to Virginia, researchers at Duke University found close ties between East Asian species, such as dogwoods, and species in the southeastern U.S. Forests throughout the northern hemisphere were joined together by the supercontinent Laurasia as recently as 180 million years ago. Then, as the great northern land mass broke into continents, eras of glaciation wiped out various tree species. Forest remnants hung on in China, Japan, small parts of Europe, and Appalachia, which explains the similarity in tree species. The research was published in the
American Journal of Botany.

an additional 50,000 turbines are planned for similar areas,
according to

, a species that has already declined by up to 80 percent in recent decades due to habitat loss, ABC says. The group is asking the federal government to regulate the wind industry with regard to its impacts on birds. Areas of "critical importance," where federally protected birds face the highest levels of risk, comprise just 9 percent of the land area of the U.S. and should be avoided in wind development, ABC says.

Low Snowpack Raising Drought
Concerns in Oregon and Washington
While drought conditions in California and the southwestern U.S. have been dominating news headlines, Oregon and
Snowpack in May 2015
Washington could also soon be facing dangerously dry conditions due to
low snowpack
levels, as these photos show. Although the region has seen several months with average or just-below average precipitation, unusually warm temperatures on land and offshore led to most of that moisture arriving in the form of rain rather than snow. Like many parts of the western U.S. and Canada, the Pacific Northwest depends on mountain snowpack to melt and fill streams and rivers through warmer, drier summer months. According to state officials, snowpack in Washington was just 16 percent of normal as of May 15, and yearly runoff is predicted to be at its lowest in 64 years. Average snowpack in Oregon stood at just 11 percent of normal, its lowest level since 1992.

An algal bloom in the Chesapeake Bay in 2007
the University of Maryland. Driven by runoff containing excess nitrogen and other nutrients, algal blooms can severely deplete oxygen levels and release significant amounts of toxins in the water, killing fish and altering food webs. Harmful algal blooms have long been plaguing the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, but water quality data from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources show that the events roughly doubled in the 1991-2008 period. Major blooms of one type of microscopic algae,
Kalrodinium veneficum
, increased from fewer than five per year in 2003 to more than 30 per year in 2008. That type of bloom produces a toxin implicated in fish kills in the Chesapeake Bay and with oyster spawning and development problems.

Idle Electronics and Appliances
Waste $19 Billion Annually, Study Says
Roughly $19 billion worth of electricity — an amount equal to the output of 50 large power plants — is devoured annually in
Idle power usage
the U.S. by household electronics and appliances when their owners are not actively using them, according to
a study
by the Natural Resources Defense Council. These always-on but inactive devices account for nearly 23 percent of home electricity use in California, the researchers found after analyzing data from 70,000 residential smart meters. The cost of this so-called "vampire" energy drain, which provides little benefit to consumers, averages $165 per household per year, but it can be as high as $440 in areas with high electricity prices, the study says. Appliances that consume a lot of power when in use, such as heating and cooling systems and refrigerators, accounted for just 15 percent of the vampire consumption. The majority — 51 percent — is drawn by consumer electronics such as televisions, computers, printers, and game consoles.

Ethanol Refineries May Emit More
Smog-Forming Compounds Than Expected
Refineries that produce ethanol fuel may be releasing much larger amounts of smog-forming compounds than researchers and government agencies had suspected, according to a
new study
in the
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres.
Airborne measurements downwind from an ethanol refinery in Illinois show that, compared to government estimates, ethanol emissions are 30 times higher and emissions of all volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which include ethanol, are five times higher. Producing one kilogram of the fuel at the Illinois refinery emits 170 times more ethanol than what comes out of a vehicle burning the same amount, the study says. Along with nitrogen oxides, VOCs can react with sunlight to form ground-level ozone, the main component of smog. Renewable fuel standards mandate that gasoline burned in the U.S. contains 10 percent ethanol — an attempt to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and petroleum imports while boosting the renewable fuels sector.

First Nations and B.C. Set
North America's Largest Ocean Protections
The Canadian province of British Columbia and 18 coastal First Nations have released
marine plans
to bring the northern
Area encompassed by protection plans.
Pacific Coast of British Columbia under ecosystem-based management, completing the largest ocean plan to date anywhere in North America. The ecosystem-based approach was designed to protect the marine environment while sustaining coastal communities whose culture and commerce depend on a healthy ocean, officials say. The area under the protection plans lies between Haida Gwaii archipelago on the north coast of B.C. to Campbell River on Vancouver Island — a span of nearly 40,000 square miles, equivalent to a 200-mile-wide swath from San Francisco to San Diego. The plans were based on input from a variety of stakeholders — renewable energy developers, conservationists, aquaculture companies, small-boat fishermen, and traditional and local community members — and the best available science, officials say.
Interview: How British Columbia
Gained by Putting Price on Carbon
Earlier this month, Ontario announced it will join the carbon cap-and trade-program that Quebec and California participate in.
Stewart Elgie
British Columbia, in 2008, became the first jurisdiction in North America to adopt an economy-wide carbon tax. Stewart Elgie, a professor of law and economics at University of Ottawa, has analyzed the results of that tax and describes them as "remarkable." In a
Yale Environment 360
interview, Elgie says the tax has significantly reduced British Columbia's fossil fuel use without harming its economy. Citing the lack of support for a carbon tax at the federal level in Canada as well as in the U.S., Elgie warns that "we're moving toward a global economy that will reward low-carbon, innovative, resource-efficient production. And if we don't prepare ourselves for that, other countries are going to eat our lunch."

California Governor Orders
Tough New Greenhouse Gas Emissions Target
California will cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent compared to 1990 levels over the next 15 years, according to an
California Governor Jerry Brown
executive order
issued today by Governor Jerry Brown. The state already has an ambitious climate law on the books, requiring emissions cuts of 80 percent from the 1990 benchmark by 2050. Brown says the new order sets a tough interim target that will be important for ensuring the state meets its 2050 goal. The state's 2030 and 2050 emissions goals build on a law enacted under former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger that requires the state to reduce emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. California is on track to meet, and possibly exceed, that mark, officials say. Governor Brown has been positioning California as a world leader in efforts to curb climate change ahead of the United Nations climate talks in Paris at the end of this year.

Long-Term CO2 Record by Keeling
Named National Historic Chemical Landmark
The Keeling Curve — a long-term record of rising carbon dioxide in the planet's atmosphere — will be named a National Historic
The Keeling Curve
Chemical Landmark, the American Chemical Society
yesterday. The late geochemist Charles David Keeling began collecting precise, systematic data on atmospheric CO2 concentrations at Hawaii's Mauna Loa Observatory in 1958. Since then, the rigorous and continuous measurements have become the most widely recognized record of humans' impact on the planet, helping to illustrate the link between rising CO2 levels from burning fossil fuels and global warming. Other works highlighted by National Historic Chemical Landmark program include the discovery of penicillin, deciphering of the genetic code, and the works of Rachel Carson, Thomas Edison, and George Washington Carver.
Interview: Oklahoma's Clear Link
Between Earthquakes and Energy
In recent years, Oklahoma has experienced a stunning increase in the number of earthquakes. Yet despite numerous

studies to the contrary, state officials have remained skeptical of the link between this seismic boom and oil and gas activity. That ended last month with the announcement by the Oklahoma Geological Survey that oil and gas wastewater injection wells were, indeed, the "likely" cause of "the majority" of that state's earthquakes. Oklahoma geologist Todd Halihan, who has examined this issue, welcomed the announcement. In an interview with
Yale Environment 360
, Halihan outlines some ways that the abnormal seismic activity in Oklahoma might be tamped down. But he also explains why he believes the problem has no quick or easy fixes.

With all the recent talk about people leaving Facebook and their privacy concerns, here is ultimate proof that they, and Mark Zuckerberg, plays with the devil. Not like you needed more proof. What with Mr. Zuckerberg making statements like this IM conversation in college:
Mark: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard…just ask. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS.
[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?
Mark: People just submitted it. I don't know why. They "trust me." Dumb fucks.
Personally I don't use Facebook and never have, but that's because I'm not a farmer or mafioso and I hate being poked…but speaking of evil, have you met the Cruddy Combo Clan?

1st, McClain AGAIN for 6.
2nd and 4, LeRon for 3. He's running really hard. Grubbs gets into it with the Eagles.
Bunkley is hurt.
They should go for it......
3rd and 1, McClain stuffed for no gain. And they're punting. Statistically, they should go for this.
Who's #39 for the Ravens??
Eagles start at the 8.
1st, give to Westbrook, wrapped up for no gain by Ngata.
2nd and 10, complete to Smith, tackled soundly by Ivy. Short gain.
3rd and 6, Pryce coming quickly, pass is McNabbed to his wideout. 3 and out.
Good Pressure by the Ravens!!!
Yamon loses yardage. lol.
OMG, please cut Figurs now please.
Unreal how terrible he has been this year.
Way to go Yamon....run backwards as always....
At the stadium today on my Blackberry.
Defense so far is tight. Offense needs to get protection up front or we aren't going to be throwing a lot.
Seriously, Jim Leonard has been a better punt returner this year.
If anything, he should juke towards the middle of the field and go down the sideline.....or just fair catch it!!!!
1st from the 33, Willis gains 2.
2nd and 8, complete to Mason for 10.
McCain Twitched on that play... good no call.. Refs letting players play
Samuel injured by the looks of it. Arm/Shoulder.
Get ready for stacked boxes the rest of the year....
Did he just call Asante Samuels the best corner in the league?
1st, Willis loses 2. He is useless! NEVER PLAY MCGAHEE.
2nd and 12, PA, looking deep, then thrown away. Very, very obvious holding on Terry.
2nd and 22, Flacco heavily pressured, dumps to Rice and ends up too high for him.
3rd and 22, dump to Rice for a modest gain.
Best game ever!

Local firefighters and other first responders showed their respect by climbing 110 stories - the height the World Trade Center stood.
The event took place at the Varisco Building in Downtown Bryan.
The climb signifies the commitment of the fallen service men and women who died serving their country and its citizens.
Participants also climbed in personal protective gear most often used when fighting fire - the same type of equipment those responding to the World Trade Center wore..which makes the climb even more difficult.
This is the third consecutive year the Bryan Fire Department has hosted a memorial service to honor 9/11.
