Colorado Springs Recycling Audit Finds Half of Residential Trash could have been Diverted from Landfills
Last month at the Pikes Peak Ecofestival, a trained group of Recycling Coalition of Colorado Springs volunteers sorted about three compacted yards of residential trash. That?s the equivalent of approximately 10 families? trash for a week. The volunteers found of the nearly 300 pounds of trash sorted, 158 pounds, 54 percent, could be diverted from area landfills.
Of the materials that could be diverted, 14 percent was clothing, toys and house wares, which could be donated or repurposed, 4 percent was compostable food waste, such as vegetables and coffee grounds, and 2 percent was better disposed of at an electronics recycling center. A remaining 108 pounds, or 37 percent, could have been recycled through single-stream, curb-side service. (Single-stream recyclable materials include plastics 1-7, cardboard, mixed paper, aluminum and metals, and glass bottles and jars. Trash haulers in Colorado Springs currently provide this service for a few extra dollars per month.) Even more materials would have been recyclable with a few simple steps, such as rinsing food containers or preventing paper from becoming contaminated with liquids.
The Recycling Coalition of Colorado Springs' audit goals were to educate Eco-Festival attendees while gaining preliminary data for the extent of resources currently being buried in regional landfills. This audit was the launch of a larger statistical effort, which will cover the span of a year, examine trash from multiple haulers, and cross several seasons.
Recycling coalition volunteers hailed from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, Sierra Club, El Paso County, City of Colorado Springs and Fort Carson. (To address customer security concerns, volunteers were monitored and signed an affidavit of confidentiality.)
Did you know?
According to the most recent 2007 data, El Paso County residents recycled significantly less paper (67.8 pounds per person, per year) than the average Coloradan (119.7 pounds per person, per year), 2009 Pikes Peak United Way Quality of Life Indicators Report.
Recycling conserves natural resources and energy. In fact, energy savings resulting from recycling in Colorado during 2008 totaled approximately 35 trillion BTUs. That?s equivalent to removing nearly 350,000 average homes off the grid (
2009 Annual Report to the Colorado General Assembly on the Status of the Solid Waste and Material Management Program in Colorado.)
Trash and recycling providers in Colorado Springs, and some outlying areas, now offer single-stream (no sorting required), curb-side residential recycling. Although it currently costs a few bucks per month more, ordering it is generally a simple matter of calling your current trash provider. (Tip: to stay cost-neutral ask about getting your trash picked up less often.)
According to the Colorado Association for Recycling and Environmental Protection Agency, the most effective way to increase recycling is a community-wide ?pay-as-you-throw? program that typically embeds the cost for recycling into basic trash service and then charges
residents for trash collection based on how much they throw away. Fort Collins is a Colorado community where private trash providers operate using this type of system.
Currently, Colorado Springs single-stream recycled materials are taken to Denver for sorting. A sorting facility in the Pikes Peak region could serve all of southeastern Colorado and create new jobs in our communities.
The items most often recycled in our community that shouldn?t be are Styrofoam and plastic bags (even if they have a recycle symbol on them).
As good as it is to recycle, individuals can have an even greater positive impact on the environment by reducing and reusing materials in the first place. However, El Paso County residents
are generating more waste each year, growing over the last few years to an average of 6.48 pounds per person, per day (
2009 Pikes Peak United Way Quality of Life Indicators Report)
. The national average is just
4.6 pounds of trash per person, per day. (U.S. EPA document ?MSW Generation, Recycling, and Disposal in the United States: Facts and Figures for 2007?).

The purpose of this study is to find new ways to control malaria by looking at mosquitoes infected with the disease. Knowledge of the genetics that affect the spread of malaria by mosquitoes will help in developing control strategies. A small amount of blood from infected humans will be used to infect the mosquitoes. No contact will occur between the human subject and the mosquito. Study participants will be divided into 2 groups of 20, for a total of 40 children, ages 5-10, in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Each subject will be screened by finger-prick once per month, from June through October, until they reach a maximum age of 10. Two positive subjects of the 40 screened will be asked to donate about 1 teaspoon of blood, which will be used to feed and infect the mosquitoes. Study participants will be involved in study related procedures for a maximum of 5 years.

|Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Genetic Association Mapping of Malaria Resistance in Anopheles Gambiae
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|June 2007
Malaria is a blood-borne human disease, and is transmitted to mosquitoes in the bloodmeal, an obligatory step in human malaria transmission. This is a study of malaria parasites in the major mosquito vector of human malaria in Africa, Anopheles gambiae. The intent of the study is to develop modern forms of vector control that would specifically decrease disease transmission by targeting the vector. Genetic linkage mapping of the mosquito vector (Anopheles gambiae) in Africa has identified a small genomic region in the mosquito that controls most of the natural genetic variation for resistance to mosquito infection with the human malaria parasite (Plasmodium falciparum). In order to study the influence of mosquito vector genetics on transmission of malaria parasites, mosquitoes are exposed to malaria parasites and then the efficiency of parasite development within the mosquito is measured. The goal of the study is to promote and expand this non-transmitting subset of the vector population in order to decrease or interrupt human malaria transmission. The study focuses on the mosquito vector, not the human subjects infected with malaria. The reason for the use of human subjects is that 5cc of blood from human subjects naturally infected with malaria will be used to infect the mosquitoes by an indirect feeding method that involves a membrane feeding device. There will be no contact of human subjects with the mosquitoes. The blood-fed mosquitoes are the primary focus of this study, not human subjects. DNA extracted from mosquitoes that fed on the blood of human study subjects will be analyzed genetically by microsatellites and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to identify mosquito genes that control mosquito resistance to malaria parasites. The genetic analysis is of mosquito DNA, not DNA of the human subjects. At the time mosquitoes are analyzed, one week after the bloodmeal, there is no residual genetic, DNA, cellular, or any material of the human subject remaining within the mosquito, and thus no genetic or other information can derive from the human source, even accidentally. A secondary objective will be to identify naturally-occurring mechanisms of mosquito resistance to malaria infection in Burkina Faso. Mosquitoes that are not infected by malaria parasites do not transmit malaria. Research that identifies these genes for resistance may lead to a method for blocking the transmission of malaria. A total enrollment of 40 healthy volunteers, 5-10 years old, is planned at one site in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Malaria transmission occurs during the rainy season (June through October). There will be 2 experimental cycles per month from June through October (10 cycles per year). There will be two such groups of 20, for a total study size of 40. Each group of 20 will be screened for malaria in an alternating pattern, so each group of 20 is screened no more frequently than once per month during the malaria transmission season, for a total study duration of 5 years. One human subject with mature malaria gametocytes (the transmission stage infective to mosquitoes) will be identified the day before the projected experimental infection of mosquitoes. Blood (5 cc) will be drawn from the subject, which will occur no more frequently than once per month. Twenty subjects are screened for malaria parasites (by standard diagnosis) to insure finding at least one positive donor per cycle. The 5cc of blood is used to feed and infect mosquitoes, which are the subject of this study. Subject participation is approximately 5 months per year, for the total study duration of 5 years. A target sample size of 200 mosquitoes with a set of 150 markers will be analyzed in this study. A successful outcome of this study is genetic identification of mosquito genes controlling resistance and susceptibility to P. falciparum infection of the mosquitoes.

Ryan Dowell Baum (MDiv 2009)
Ryan Dowell Baum grew up in a suburb of Albany, New York and earned his undergraduate degree at New York University. He spent a year studying in Johannesburg, South Africa, which he considers a transformational experience. "It cemented my feeling of being called to urban ministry and social justice." And it spurred him to choose PSR over Harvard and Earlham School of Religion, a Quaker seminary that was also a strong draw for the Quaker Baum.
"The opportunities that the social justice bent of PSR have afforded and its urban location have been really helpful to me," Baum says of his first year here. "Also, the ecumenical setting — being in the GTU — has allowed me to be exposed to all sorts of different kinds of Christian theology and to put together, for myself, a theology that supports my growth — primarily in Christian love, but also in a subsidiary of that, in justice and in working to make God's reign a reality here.
"Another transformative experience that occurred at PSR is that I decided to seek dual affiliation with United Church of Christ. I've been really excited and surprised by my encounter with the UCC. I thought I was going to be one of the first Quaker UCC ministers; but it turns out there are a whole bunch of them! My friends call me a 'Quaking Congregationalist.'"

SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- It's been called the 'silent epidemic'. The Centers for Disease Control says about 3 million young athletes suffer from sports related concussions each year, but there are concerns many more are not being diagnosed. If left untreated, some symptoms can lead to a lifetime of problems.
A New England company has developed technology that could potentially be a 'game changer' when it comes protecting athletes from traumatic brain injuries. There were 32 reported concussions at South Portland High School last year. Some area high schools are seeing anywhere from 20 to 30 plus a year according to school athletic trainers. Protecting student athletes from head injuries is the driving force behind a Sudden Impact Monitor or SIM.
When worn on an athlete's head, it stores an electronic profile of how many hits a player takes in practices and games. It's puts key data in the hands of coaches and athletic trainers charged with keeping kids safe. But critics say it's unproven technology that's not ready for prime time.
When the South Portland Hockey team suits up for their practices and games -- these headbands are now part of their equipment.
But it's not just any 'headband' inside the front pocket is new technology that detects and records head impacts.
South Portland is the first high school in the state to allow it's players to wear a Smart Impact Monitor or SIM. Bob Dolan, is the sales director for Triax Technologies which produces the high-tech devices.
This is not a concussion monitor, we never say that by any stretch of the imagination, said Bob Dolan of Triax Technologies.
The lightweight SIM is the size of a wristwatch and provides athletic trainers and coaches information that can be used to identify head trauma and potentially prevent more serious injuries.
The SIM relay information on the g-force of the impacts in real time to a computer program -- up to 63 players at a time.
'It collects the magnitude, displays it and transfers it wirelessly to a sideline, pc, laptop or tablet,' said Dolan.
South Portland High School Athletic trainer John Ryan says 32 of the school's players had concussions last year. There have been 20 so far this year. Ryan says trainers and coaches follow state law which requires an injured athletes to come out of a game or practice. The student then must be examined by a professional trained in concussion management and follow other guidelines before they are returned to school and play. Ryan says SIMS is another tool to identify a potential concussion.
'Anything that comes down the road that is new and helps myself and other athletic trainers and health care providers manage these type of injuries is
welcome,' said John Ryan, the head athletic trainer on South Portland High School.
There is another way to smart impact monitors can be used to
minimize head trauma among student athletes the data collected also shows when
then athletes are not using proper techniques and that can be utilized as a teaching tool. The device is also being used by individual players.
16-year old Joe Spinney plays hockey for Marshwood High School, but already experienced three concussions in his young career.
His parents purchased a SIM monitor to protect him for another potential concussion.
The junior took two big hits in this game -- impacts Dolan tracked on his laptop in the stands.
Dr.John Hatzenbuehler is a sports medicine doctor at Maine Medical Center, who specializes in concussion management. He says concussions are caused by any hit that jars a person's head in two different directions. But he is leary of the SIM technology because scientists haven't determined what number of g-forces cause a concussion. He says data being collected should first be part of a controlled study.
'Anytime you make money off of a product without testing it for safety poses some bias, I think they are giving this information to parents without knowing what it means. It could lead to either pulling kids out wen they may not be hurt or vice versa. Until we have more information on what this means, using this and having it go directly to schools kinds of makes me nervous,' said Dr. Hatzenbuehler.

The Greenland Ice
In the earlier Science paper, Johanessen et al. found increased snow accumulation on the top of the interior Greenland ice sheet between 1992 and 2003. Above 1500m a.s.l in much of the interior Greenland they estimated an increase of 6.4 ± 0.2 cm/year and below 1500m they observed a decreasing trend of -2.0 ± 0.9 cm/year. Hence, growth in the interior parts and a thinning of the ice nearer the edges. However, Johanessen et al. were not able to measure all of the coastal ranges. Indeed, the thinning of the margins and growth in the interior Greenland is an expected response to increased temperatures and more precipitation in a warmer climate. These results present no contradiction to the accelerated sliding near the coasts, but both will affect the ice/snow (fresh water) mass estimate. Whereas the finding of Rignot and Kanagaratnam suggests a larger sink of the frozen Greenland fresh water budget (the ice is dumped into the sea), the snow deposition in Greenland interiors is a source term (increases the amount of frozen fresh water). It does not matter for the general sea level in which form the water exists (liguid or solid/frozen) when it is discharged into the sea: The same mass of liquid water and immersed ice affect the water level equally (Archimede's principle).
A third relevant study is a recent paper in the Journal of Glaciology by Zwally et al. (2005) on the ice mass changes on Greenland and Antarctica. They use the same satellite obsevations (ERS 1 and 2) as Johanessen et al. and again find that the Greenland ice sheet is thinning at the margins (-42 ± 2 Gt/year = -46 ± 2 km3/year below the equilibrium-line altitude – ELA), but growing in the inland (+53 ± 2 Gt/year = 58 ± 2 km3/year). The mass estimates have been converted to volume estimates here, assuming the density of ice is 0.917 g/cm3 at 0°C, so that the mass of one Gt of ice is roughly equivalent to 1.1km3 ice*. This means that the Greenland ice has an overall mass gain by +11 ± 3 Gt/year (=10 ± 2.7 km3/year) which they estimated implied a -0.03 mm/year SLE over the period 1992-2002.
The critical point for Greenland is whether the increased rate of glacier motion more than compensates for the greater accumulation on the surface. While the broad picture of what is happening is consistent between these papers, the bottom-line value for Greenland's mass balance is different in all three cases. Looking just at the dynamical changes observed by Rignot & Kanagaratnam, there is an increased discharge of about 0.28 mm/year SLE from 1996 to 2005, well outside the range of error bars. This is substantially more than the opposing changes in accumulation estimated by Johannessen et al and Zwally et al, and is unlikely to have been included in their assessments. Thus, the probability is that Greenland has been losing ice in the last decade. We should be careful to point out though that this is only for one decade, and doesn't prove anything about the longer term. As many of the studies make clear, there is a significant degree of interannual variability (related to the North Atlantic Oscillation, or the response to the cooling associated with Mt. Pinatubo) such that discerning longer term trends is hard.
The largest contributions to sea level rise so far are estimated to have come from thermal expansion, with the melting of mountain glaciers and icecaps being of second order. Looking forward, the current (small) imbalance (whether positive or negative) of the Greenland ice sheet is not terribly important. What matters is if the melting were to increase significantly. Ongoing observations (most promisingly from the GRACE gravity measurements, Velicogna et al, 2005) will be useful in monitoring trends, but in order to have reasonable projections into the future, we would like to be able to rely on ice sheet models. Unfortunately, the physics of basal lubrication and the importance of ice dynamics highlighted in the Rignot & Kanagaratnam results are very poorly understood and not fully accounted for in current ice sheet models. Until those models include these effects, there is a danger that we may be under-appreciating the dynamic nature of the ice sheets.

Eye and orbit ultrasound
An eye and orbit ultrasound is a test to look at the eye area, and to measure the size and structures of the eye.
Alternative Names
Echography - eye orbit; Ultrasound - eye orbit; Ocular ultrasonography; Orbital ultrasonography
How the test is performed
The test is usually done in the ophthalmologist's office or the ophthalmology department of a hospital or clinic.
Your eye is numbed with medicine (anesthetic drops). The ultrasound wand (transducer) is placed against the front surface of the eye.
The ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves that travel through the eye. Reflections (echoes) of the sound waves form a picture of the structure of the eye. The test takes about 15 minutes.
There are two types of scans: A-scan and B-scan.
For the A-scan:
- You will usually sit in a chair and place your chin on a chin rest. You will look straight ahead.
- A small probe is placed against the front of your eye.
- The test may also be done with you lying back. With this method, a fluid-filled cup is placed against your eye to do the test.
For the B-scan:
- You will be seated and you may be asked to look in many directions. The test is usually done with your eyes closed.
- A gel is placed on the skin of your eyelids. The B-scan probe is gently placed against your eyelids to do the test.
How to prepare for the test
No special preparation is needed for this test.
How the test will feel
Your eye is numbed, so you should not have any discomfort. You may be asked to look in different directions to improve the ultrasound image or so it can view different areas of your eye.
The gel used with the B-scan may run down your cheek, but you will not feel any discomfort or pain.
Why the test is performed
Your doctor may order this test if you have cataracts or other eye problems.
An A-scan ultrasound measures the eye to determine the right power of a lens implant before cataract surgery.
A B-scan is done to look at the inside part of the eye or the space behind the eye that cannot be seen directly. This may occur when you have cataracts or other conditions that make it hard for the doctor to see into the back of your eye. The test may help diagnose retinal detachment, tumors, or other disorders.
Normal Values
For an A-scan, measurements of the eye are in the normal range.
For a B-scan, the structures of the eye and orbit appear normal.
What abnormal results mean
A B-scan may show:
- Bleeding into the clear gel (vitreous) that fills the back of the eye (vitreous hemorrhage)
- Cancer of the retina (retinoblastoma), under the retina, or in other parts of the eye (such as melanoma)
- Damaged tissue or injuries in the bony socket (orbit) that surrounds and protects the eye
- Foreign bodies
- Pulling away of the retina from the back of the eye (retinal detachment)
- Swelling (inflammation)
What the risks are
To avoid scratching the cornea, do not rub the numbed eye until the anesthetic wears off (about 15 minutes). There are no other risks.

OGDENSBURG By most measures, 2012 was a great year for the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority.
Even without considering its marquee project, the transit of 70 wind turbines to the Marble River Wind Farm in Churubusco, the authority enjoyed a number of successes.
The authority operates the Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge, the Port of Ogdensburg, the Ogdensburg International Airport and a short-line railroad between the city and Norwood. The OBPA also owns and operates Commerce Park light industrial park, adjacent to the bridge.
In January, Samuel J. LaMacchia took the reins as chairman of the authoritys board of directors.
From a leadership role, I guess I would probably say weve had an outstanding year, he said. Obviously the highlight most people see is the wind turbine project and the access road making the entrance to the port a lot more practical. There are a lot of other things that make the whole year.
The boards outgoing chairman, Frederick J. Carter, continued as vice chairman.
In February, Frederick S. Morrill, the authoritys chief financial officer, was named deputy executive director. Throughout his tenure, a little less than two years, the OBPA has remained fiscally healthy.
The OBPA also extended Wade A. Daviss term as executive director through 2015.
In May, the OBPA broke ground on an access road for the Port of Ogdensburg following a flurry of lobbying to raise the money to complete the project after beginning construction while more than $600,000 short. Eventually, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced $450,000 for the port access road, while the St. Lawrence River Valley Redevelopment Agency provided a $95,000 grant and the St. Lawrence County Industrial Development Agency issued an $87,000 loan to cover the rest of the projects cost.
The $1.8 million road was essential to allow wind turbines to clear the port and prepare for the pending Paterson Street rehabilitation project later this year. Previously, trucks used Paterson Street to access the port.
Eventually, more than 1,000 truckloads of wind turbine parts, which arrived by ship and train, left the port for Churubusco.
The port also enjoyed an upswing in agricultural business as the authority continued and expanded a partnership with Richardson International, Canadas largest agribusiness.
This year, I think we looked more closely at some of the main functions, like, obviously, the port business, Mr. LaMacchia said. It gave us a strong indication of what a port should continually be doing. We want the grain business; salt was just the beginning. Were going to add silos to our port in a strategic way to handle grain differently.
During the summer, five 200-ton locomotives were shipped to a Canadian mining firm.
Increased port activity provided grist for the OBPAs advocacy for dredging the port. The Army Corps of Engineers and the authority recently signed a cost-sharing agreement for a feasibility study to examine deepening the Port of Ogdensburg and its approaches. When completed, the port will accommodate more and larger ships; two ships can dock simultaneously at the port.
Through Nov. 30, the port generated almost $1.97 million, three times the budgeted amount of $645,000. Though the windfall will be offset somewhat by additional payroll costs, the authority is celebrating a successful shipping season.
The Ogdensburg International Airport also enjoyed another year of rising passenger numbers. As of Nov. 30, the airports boardings rose by 40.5 percent from the previous year, from 2,609 to 3,666.
At the beginning of the year, the authority set a deal with Countrywide Rental Cars to ensure deplaning passengers have transportation while they are in the north country.
Encouraged by the airports increased use, the OBPA began discussions to add additional flights to its schedule. The airport is connected to Albany daily by three flights said in each direction from Barnstable, Mass., carrier Cape Air.
Since taking over air service in September 2008, Cape Air has seen increases in passengers boarding flights at Ogdensburg each month.
The authority is courting other carriers to provide service to Quebec, Canada.
Mr. LaMacchia said the authority will try to find funding to complete elements of an almost $17 million, five-year capital improvement plan for the airport.
Were looking at the airport and progress there as far as improving the runway, Mr. LaMacchia said. Were still working on extending the runway. Were looking at other operators and airlines to do other business with us.
Traffic across the Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge increased steadily over 2012, buoyed in part by a Canadian dollar that remains at par with its U.S. counterpart. As of Nov. 30, bridge crossings had increased by 11 percent over the previous year, from 471,937 in 2011 to 524,318 in 2012.
The OBPA is revisiting the way it markets sites in its commerce and industrial park.
Were looking at how we can do a better job with the industrial park, Mr. LaMacchia said. Weve put an LED sign out there to say that we are energetic about doing something there. Were also looking into changing our website.
Executive Director Davis has experimented with a small business incubator in Building 1, a 30,000-square-foot manufacturing or warehousing facility. The authority is offering businesses small office space in the building to establish a foothold, then hoping they will lease more space as the need arises.
One tool at its disposal is the recently expanded Foreign Trade Zone 118, which once covered only about 70 acres of OBPA property. Now the zone has been expanded to an area within a 60-mile radius or 90-minute drive of the port. Foreign trade zones provide a special exemption from U.S. Customs procedures to businesses engaged in international trade. The measure will allow firms from around the world to ship merchandise to any business in St. Lawrence County and exempt it from taxes and duty until it is made into finished products or shipped out of the zone. In addition, when a product leaves the zone, it is charged a lower tariff rate than those that do not go through foreign trade zones.
In 2012, the OBPA paid DCG Corplan Consulting of West Orange, N.J., $19,750 to develop an economic development and marketing plan for the commerce park and port. The study recommended the OBPA increase its marketing efforts to French-speaking Canadians, develop a specialty food brand and building or convert power plants to run on biomass products.
In 2013, The OBPA will staff a new position to oversee the application for and administration of grants. The grant manager will be paid $50,000. Theoretically, this would free Director of Commercial and Industrial Development John A. Rishe to concentrate on marketing the authoritys port and commerce park.
The authority also will hire an accounting manager to a new position.
Were adding two new positions to make growth to give us some more manpower instead of just wish power, Mr. LaMacchia said.
While no large wind turbine project is on the horizon for 2013, the authoritys work will continue as it advocates for funding to complete unfinished maintenance on the international bridge. The price tag for painting the bridge and rehabilitating approaches on each side of the St. Lawrence River is set at $95 million.
Were also looking at energy efficient facilities and other ways to keep costs down, Mr. LaMacchia said. Our staff are looking at a lot of things to do.
The OBPA also is working to develop three parcels in the city, contracting out a $128,100 feasibility study to Fisher Associates, a Rochester engineering firm. The authority is interested in building a hotel, a residential development and a flex commercial development on a 6.5-acre parcel off Proctor Avenue, a 13-acre site on the northeast corner of routes 812 and 37 and the site of the authoritys Bridge Administration Building. The authority expects to send out requests for developers proposals in the spring.
I have a real positive outlook on what type of year we had and what type of year were going to have, Mr. LaMacchia said. I think the glass is half full, not half empty.

The songs of World War I are unusually revealing of the values and beliefs of their time. They show how American attitudes changed between 1914 and 1917, from "I Didn't Raise My Boy To Be a Soldier" to "Over There," Most telling, though, were the love songs of those years, with their emphasis on parting, separation, and the longing to return. Then the songs changed abruptly when the War ended to express a new worldview that signaled the emotional and cultural beginning of the 20th century.
Part of a series of events by the President Woodrow Wilson House commemorating the beginning of WWI in Europe. In tandem with "Images of the Great War" exhibition in the Wilson House gallery.
"He doesn't sing and he doesn't dance, but he knows all there is to know about American popular music."
In the summer of 1914, World War I erupted with a spasm of violence. A century later, we ask "Why?" What were the origins of the Great War that forever changed the world?
Millions died, empires fell, nations arose, and the League of Nations emerged. Join us to discuss the circumstances that led to war and the lessons we can learn.
The Embassy of the German Federal Republic and The President Woodrow Wilson House host a panel discussion with the Executive Director of The President Woodrow Wilson House, Robert A. Enholm, as the moderator. The panel will feature the following:
– Professor Dr. Michael Epkenhans, Director of Historical Research at the Centre for Military History and Social Sciences of the German Armed Forces at Potsdam and Professor at Potsdam University. Professor Epkenhans authored Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz: Architect of the German Battle Fleet (2008) as well as (with Ralf Stremmel) Friedrich von Krupp: Ein Unternehmer im Kaiserreich (2010).
– Professor Mustafa Aksakal is an Associate Professor in the Department of History and the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University and the author of The Ottoman Road to War in 1914 (2008). He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University and has recently held fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and the American Council of Learned Societies.
– Professor Elizabeth Thompson is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Virginia and the author of Justice Interrupted: The Struggle for Constitutional Government in the Middle East (2012). She received her Ph.D. from Columbia University and has recently held fellowships from National Endowment for the Humanities, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, and the United States Institute of Peace.
The panel will be in the Dining Room, and the adjacent Drawing Room will be set up as an overflow room with a viewing monitor. Doors open at 4:45 pm, and seating is on a first come basis. Refreshments and reception to follow.
Please feel free to contact Allyson Saca, Communications Coordinator, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Columbia joins the MIT and Duke University in the search for 21st century storytelling. It is interdisciplinary, that's one thing.
There are probably a lot of other academic programs in other universities as well. It's exciting to see interdisciplinary programs such as Duke' GreaterThanGames initiative give birth to awesome projects.

BARTON – Four war veterans walked into St. Paul's School to thank teacher Jennifer Wilson and her fifth and sixth grade class for writing them cards in honor of Veterans Day.Â
Wilson started the project the Tuesday before Veterans Day. She obtained the names of local veterans from her father, John Wilson, a Vietnam veteran.
Wilson wanted each student to write one card, but the class got so enthused, the students ended up mailing 25 cards. Each veteran received at least two cards and some received three and four. Some of the veterans wrote back to the students.
The students did the project to honor the veterans, to thank them for their service and thank them for keeping the country safe. Wilson tied the project into a social studies unit. As part of the unit, the students studied the poppy flower and the origin of Armistice Day.Â
The veterans visiting her class made Wilson feel good and the students were pleased they had made the veterans feel good.Â
"I thought it was nice and fun," said Addie Poginy. Everyone likes to get mail, she said. "I figured who better to write to on a special occasion."
It's important to write to the ones who fought for their country and lost some of their best friends in the process," added Hunter Matte. The letters helped the veterans know that people appreciate their efforts, he said.
"I thought it was the kind thing to do," said Michaela Poginy of writing the cards. "It made me feel good."
The veterans did a lot for the country, added Brandon Allam.
"You have no idea how much you touched some of these veterans," John Wilson told the students. "Some of them are carrying their cards with them and showing them to people in the restaurants. A couple of you brought tears to their eyes."
Honoring veterans is very important. If it were not for the veterans, Americans would not have the freedoms they have, Wilson said.
World War II Veteran Joe Queenin is very pleased the students remembered the veterans and wrote to them.Â
Frank Ormsbee, who served in Korea and Vietnam, briefly talked about the presidential and vice-presidential planes that he worked on during the John F. Kennedy era. He also thanked the students for their efforts.
Vietnam Veteran Roland Prairie told the students about how he enlisted in the service. Back then, a graduate who wasn't heading off to college or had a critical job had to enlist in the military. He served 25 months and 11 days in Vietnam and eight months in Germany. Prairie called receiving the letters a treat.
"Thank you for thinking of us," said Prairie. "It was very heart warming."Â
The veterans handed out American flags, McDonald's gift certificates and homemade cupcakes to each student.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 15 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by jebot Perfect Size Size just right to fit under airplane seat and easily roll through aisle, yet plenty of room inside. Quality much better than previous Travelon--no problem with zippers, handle, wheels. My only issue is the laptop padded compartment is only 11"long, but there is 3" above the padding so my 15" laptop does barely squeeze in the space--is also 1" below the compartment so the zipper easily closes. February 13, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by DocD Too stripped down. I got this because it has a clam-shell opening feature for its main (and almost only) comparrtment. This is a huge convenience for packing. However, its minimal number of outside pockets and especially its absence of any side pockets makes it inconvenient for traveling...water bottle? snacks?? Boarding passes??? and so on. I am returning it with some reluctance. The new Travelsmith S1 four wheeled tote does have side pockets and some other features this lacks. I'll just have to save my pennies and wait (im)patiently to do so. This is a well-made item of good construction and quality...but too stripped down for my needs. If I had a friend on a tight budget who needed an adequate tote, I would certainly recommend this one. April 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LASteve A Very Nice Bag Positive: I was looking for a small, carry-on weekend bag. This bag has met my needs perfectly. It's got plenty of room for my weekend needs and it easily stores in the aircraft overhead bin. The interior computer pocket is the perfect size to store my iPad. Negative: The interior straps don't really work very well. Your stuff will move around if your bag isn't completely filled. I deal with this problem by using a couple of packing cubes to keep stuff from moving around. October 30, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by MacGroupie Not typical TravelSmith standard Is easy to move-- packing is frustrating!! The interior straps are too short to be placed out over the sides. After packing everything gets messed up by having to dig around for the straps buried at the bottom. I used the external pocket for cosmetics and still can't retrieve some of the small pieces that fell into the bottom of that pocket. That pocket does work well for Kindle or iPad. I think the bag is simply a better daily business bag than overnight bag for clothing. September 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by radnor Carryon satisfaction Have not yet used for airline travel, though this model was selected for "under seat" use to avoid competition for overhead rack space. Good experience using it as weekend bag for auto travel. Next time will add plastic bags or packing cubes--without these aids, the bag needs to be flat on luggage rack or totally unpacked at destination. August 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by tootsiejo Universal Carry-On Good size. Not sure it will fit under the seat but will be good carry on in the overhead. Like the purple color, should be easy to spot. November 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by WannaTakeitall A Great Carry-On The Universal Carry On bag worked well on this Florida trip (the bag's maiden voyage). I was able to fit a pair of shoes and two pairs of sandals, papers and travel info, an extra set of clothing, and overnight togs and toiletries. It is the perfect size and rolls smoothly. The only draw back is the front pocket. It doesn't hold much especially when the main bag is packed full...good for pens and pencils and maybe a phone or ball cap. Glad to have it though (and we have 2). January 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by scscooter Too Bad Too Small I think the overall quality of this item is good, it was just too small for my purpose. I have a similar size bag, and was hoping this would be big enough that the two could both be carry-on and I would be set for a week. That just won't be the case, so I've had to return it. I do think though, it would be a great size for just a long weekend (but I've already got that covered!) January 20, 2014

The Man with the Golden Gun
Action/Adventure, Drama
The Man With the Golden Gun, Roger Moore's second outing as James Bond (Live and Let Die was the first), whisks our hero off to Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, and then the South China Sea in search of a solar energy weapon. His opponent is Scaramanga (Christopher Lee), who rules the roost on a well-fortified island. Scaramanga's aide-de-camp is Nick Nack, played by future Fantasy Island co-star Herve Villechaize. Britt Ekland plays the bikinied Mary Goodnight, whose clumsy efforts to help Bond thwart Scaramanga are almost as destructive as the elusive solar device. The Man With the Golden Gun was adapted by Richard Maibaum and Tom Mankiewicz from Ian Fleming's last James Bond novel, which had to be published posthumously in rough draft form.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The air pirate Andan Cly is going straight. Well, straighter. Although hes happy to run alcohol guns wherever the moneys good, he doesnt think the world needs more sap, or its increasingly ugly side-effects. But becoming legit is easier said than done, and Clys first legal gig—a supply run for the Seattle Underground—will be paid for by sap money.
New Orleans is not Clys first pick for a shopping run. He loved the Big Easy once, back when he also loved a beautiful mixed-race prostitute named Josephine Early—but that was a decade ago, and he hasnt looked back since. Jos still thinking about him, though, or so he learns when he gets a telegram about a peculiar piloting job. Its a chance to complete two lucrative jobs at once, one he cant refuse. He sends his old paramour a note and heads for New Orleans, with no idea of what hes in for—or what she wants him to fly.
But he wont be flying. Not exactly. Hidden at the bottom of Lake Pontchartrain lurks an astonishing war machine, an immense submersible called the Ganymede. This prototype could end the war, if only anyone had the faintest idea of how to operate it…. If only they could sneak it past the Southern forces at the mouth of the Mississippi River… If only it hadnt killed most of the men whod ever set foot inside it.
But its those "if onlys" that will decide whether Cly and his crew will end up in the history books, or at the bottom of the ocean.
"The smashing third volume in Priest's Clockwork Century steampunk alternate-history Civil War series (after 2010's Dreadnought) stars Josephine Early, New Orleans brothel owner and Union spy, who must deliver Ganymede, a prototype submarine, to the North. There are only a few problems: no one has ever successfully piloted the craft, and the Texian and Confederate armies are actively searching for it. Josephine's former lover, Andan Cly, agrees to help while completing his primary mission of retrieving supplies for blighted Seattle, where noxious gas forces residents to live underground and zombies remain a constant peril. Priest is at the top of her game, equally deft with pirate battles and mature romance: Cly is tentatively connecting with earlier protagonist Briar Wilkes, sheriff of Seattle, making him elegantly cautious around Josephine as they both try to focus on their mission. Clockwork Century fans will dub this installment the best yet." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

Warning! Warning! A Bit of Self-Promotion Ahead; Or, Why Oh Why Do Ignorant People Bother to Speak?
Books like "Arguing about Gods" by Graham Oppy, and "Logic and Theism" by J.H. Sobel are light years ahead of Dawkins et al. Being put on a list with them would be something to be proud of.Okay, then take a good look at this list of the best atheist books of the decade. I think the reason my magnum opus tops several lists of popular AND scholarly atheist books is because it's both scholarly and also understandable to the intelligent general reader. That was my goal. But your opinion of it is the only one that counts. Carry on. Sorry for this interruption of your regularly scheduled show.
