Pub. L. 107–210, div. C, title XXXI, § 3102,Aug. 6, 2002, 116 Stat. 1023, provided that: "Congress makes the following findings:
"(1) Since the Andean Trade Preference Act [19 U.S.C. 3201 et seq.] was enacted in 1991, it has had a positive impact on United States trade with Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Two-way trade has doubled, with the United States serving as the leading source of imports and leading export market for each of the Andean beneficiary countries. This has resulted in increased jobs and expanded export opportunities in both the United States and the Andean region.
"(2) The Andean Trade Preference Act has been a key element in the United States counternarcotics strategy in the Andean region, promoting export diversification and broad-based economic development that provides sustainable economic alternatives to drug-crop production, strengthening the legitimate economies of Andean countries and creating viable alternatives to illicit trade in coca.
"(3) Notwithstanding the success of the Andean Trade Preference Act, the Andean region remains threatened by political and economic instability and fragility, vulnerable to the consequences of the drug war and fierce global competition for its legitimate trade.
"(4) The continuing instability in the Andean region poses a threat to the security interests of the United States and the world. This problem has been partially addressed through foreign aid, such as Plan Colombia, enacted by Congress in 2000. However, foreign aid alone is not sufficient. Enhancement of legitimate trade with the United States provides an alternative means for reviving and stabilizing the economies in the Andean region.
"(5) The Andean Trade Preference Act constitutes a tangible commitment by the United States to the promotion of prosperity, stability, and democracy in the beneficiary countries.
"(6) Renewal and enhancement of the Andean Trade Preference Act will bolster the confidence of domestic private enterprise and foreign investors in the economic prospects of the region, ensuring that legitimate private enterprise can be the engine of economic development and political stability in the region.
"(7) Each of the Andean beneficiary countries is committed to conclude negotiation of a Free Trade Area of the Americas by the year 2005, as a means of enhancing the economic security of the region.
"(8) Temporarily enhancing trade benefits for Andean beneficiary countries will promote the growth of free enterprise and economic opportunity in these countries and serve the security interests of the United States, the region, and the world."

Many Utah residents are heading for the nearest lake or dam to beat the summer heat. Whether you own some type of watercraft, rent one or are going along for the ride, keep safety and courtesy in mind. Consider these tips.
*Practice defensive boating. Nationally, operator fault has been determined in more than 75 percent of boating accidents. Common causes include excessive speed, failure to maintain proper lookout, carelessness and inexperience. About 33 percent of boating citations involve improper boat handling.
*Wear a life jacket. Boating accidents can occur without warning. It is estimated that 75 percent of those who drown in water accidents would have survived had they worn a personal flotation device (PFD). Utah law requires that boats have a properly sized U.S. Coast Guard-approved PFD for each person aboard. With few exceptions, all individuals being towed in the water, operating a personal watercraft, 12 years of age or younger and white water rafting are required by law to wear a PFD.
*Be smart about propeller operation. When swimmers are in the water near the boat, turn off the engine.
*Watch for swimmers. Boat operators and passengers should scan the water surface for floating obstacles and swimmers and be prepared to slow and change direction if necessary.
*Plan for emergencies. Common emergencies include colliding with another boat or obstacle, capsizing, someone falling overboard and bad weather. Boats are required by law to have on-board safety equipment such as PFDs, fire extinguishers, navigation lights, audible signaling devices and bailing devices. Safety equipment should be available and in good operating condition. Be sure you know how to use it.
*Have a radio or cell phone on board. In the event of an emergency or mechanical problem, a radio is the best way to request assistance. Assistance calls are transmitted on channel 16, which is the channel monitored for search and rescue. However, often the closest assistance is another watercraft in the immediate area. Cell phones can also be useful, but the signal may not work and other boats cannot monitor your request for assistance.

Monday was a day of remembrance and reflection as Carbon County observed Memorial Day. Flags and flowers adorned cemeteries across the county as friends and a of departed loved ones visited to pay their respects.
Again this year, all resting places had at least one flower thanks to the hundreds of volunteers who took part in the No Graves Unadorned project.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion fired their rifles in traditional salutes at ceremonies recognizing those who served in the armed forces, many of who paid the ultimate price in defense of freedom.

About this blog
Out for Good
The view from under South Hill, as interpreted by Luca
Tagged as "sport"
Friday, February 19, 2010
Can you hear that stirring Olympic theme song music in the background? Have you been following all the accomplishments of athletes from around the globe - the first gold medal for Canada during games hosted within their borders, a stunningly winning evening for Team USA, amazing performances on the ice last night, and so many other records and firsts?
On the theme of "firsts," two new ones to add - one on the global stage, another right here on campus:
the first ever Olympic Pride House at the Olympic games in Vancouver, a place for athletes and their families, friends, and fans to get together in the spirit of LGBT and allied diversity and inclusion, and
House of Roy, the first Ithaca College living/learning community open to all students who are interested in issues of gender identity and sexual orientation. Learn more about House of Roy, and apply to be a part of this new living/learning community. Complete an online application via HomerConnect, application accepted through Monday, February 22!
Olympic Pride House will provide community, camaraderie, and educational and cultural events throughout the Games. It will also help Olympic visitors seek asylum if they are seeking refuge from persecution in their home countries due to their sexual orientation or gender identity.
To learn more about the Olympic Pride House:
- Watch the New York Times video highlighting Pride House's historic opening, and detailing issues of homophobia and sport on our continent and beyond,
- Check out these photos and information about its services and programming throughout the Games,
- Listen to an audio tour of the facility, including information about Jeff Sheng's exhibit Fearless (in which several IC athletes are featured!),
- See visits by Stephen Colbert and Queen Latifah,
- Learn more about the five out athletes at this year's games.
Curious about these two new "houses," and the pros and cons of space specifically designated as safe and welcoming? Read Pat Griffin's blog post about this historic event, and about some of the issues of community versus integration that it can raise.
Ithaca College hosted its very own international conference on the theme of LGBT people, sexuality, and sport in March 2009. Much of the information regarding the conference is still available, and video of the conference keynote by basketball's John Amaechi is available from Ithaca College iTunesU (log-in required).

"Gloriously Fighting a Glorious Cause" : Tennesseans in the War with Mexico, 1846-1848
Fueled by patriotism and faith in Manifest Destiny, the American public was in an expansionist mood in the early 19th century. Tennessean James K. Polk, elected president in 1844 on a campaign pledge to annex Texas and Oregon, moved promptly to fulfill that promise. Both territories soon won statehood in the "Glorious Constellation" known as the United States of America.
Tennesseans flocked to Texas during the 1820s and 1830s to settle territory freshly opened by Mexico. Famous sons like Sam Houston and David Crockett were among the thousands "Gone to Texas." Most Southerners bound for the new Promised Land sought to escape economic hardship, and cheap land—four cents per acre—quickly drew them. The Revolution of 1836, brought on by an increasingly dictatorial Mexico, resulted in the birth of a new independent nation: the Republic of Texas. Most Texans favored immediate annexation by the United States.
During the next decade, relations between Mexico and the US went sour. At the time war broke out in 1846, American troop strength was too low to even consider fielding a foreign occupation force. When the secretary of war issued a call for 2,800 Tennesseans to join the ranks, 30,000 responded! This cinched the nickname "Volunteer State‖ earned during the War of 1812.
The First and Second volunteer infantries were raised in Middle and West Tennessee respectively, and a regiment of cavalry came from East Tennessee. All served in battle with distinction. The Third, Fourth and Fifth infantries were recruited after the main fighting ended. Sickness wracked the regiments throughout the war. Measles, mumps, smallpox, typhoid, and diarrhea claimed more lives than combat wounds.
Three future governors used their wartime experience as stepping stones to high office. Two of them, William Trousdale and William Bowen Campbell, were elected within five years after hostilities ended. Scores of future Civil War officers, including Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant, honed their military skills during the Mexican War.
Most Tennesseans enthusiastically supported the war. Place names like Trousdale County, Fort Campbell, Buena Vista, Cerro Gordo, and Monterey in our state are associated with heroes or battles of the Mexican War. Under the terms of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, Mexico ceded 50% of its territory to the U.S. and relinquished all claims to Texas.
TSLA has a variety of materials from this period: letters, diaries, family papers, muster rolls, scrapbooks, maps, and period books among them.
Papers. Duffy Family, 1794-1936. Of special interest are letters from Patrick and Tom Duffy, soldiers of the First Tennessee Infantry Regiment. They give detailed descriptions of battles and camp life. The Duffys were from Sumner County. (Photocopies) X-B-1. Ac. No. 90-370, 90-371.
Papers. Lauderdale Family, 1812-1909. A Tennessee infantryman's five descriptive letters to his brother, 1846-1847. The soldier writes from camps at Tampico and Vera Cruz, scenes of major fighting. The collection also contains a notification of his death. II-H-2. Ac. Nos. 815 & 846. Microfilm #841.
Papers. Polk Memorial Association, 1780-1972. The letters in this collection are historically significant. Discussed are various aspects of the war: its prosecution, diplomacy, relations with Mexico, soldiers' experiences, and rumors of Santa Anna's troop movements. Other subjects include Murfreesboro volunteers, war resolutions, and comparison of social events in Washington and Murfreesboro. Especially charming are the comments by the Rucker sisters, who are described as "vivacious Southern belles." I-J-3 and I-J-5. Ac. No. 1971-228, 1977-013. Microfilm #805.
Papers. Tennessee Historical Society (T-100). Military records form the majority of this collection: company returns, courts-martial, special orders, marching orders, and reports of troop movements. The collection also includes a personal letter and veterans' reunion items. IX-A-1–3v.
Papers. William B. Walton, 1818-1949. Walton was a hero of the Mexican War. The collection includes correspondence, rosters of units, clippings, genealogical data, and a minute book of the Tennessee Association of Mexican War Veterans. I-H-7. Ac. No. 264. Microfilm #1220.
Diary. Washington Curran Whitthorne, 1845-1846. From Maury County, Whitthorne was U.S. Senate Clerk during the war. His diary is important for its political insight during the early Polk administration. Relations with Great Britain over the fight for Oregon are a major issue. Comments on corrupt politicians, Mexico, patriotism, "Uncle Sam," dark rumors circulating in Washington, and matters of the heart round out this journal. THS I-E-2. Ac. No. THS
Diary, 1846-1847. This detailed journal, published in a period newspaper, describes major fighting in Mexico. It includes lists of officers who served with national hero Gen. Winfield Scott. I-J-2. Ac. No. 67-92
Letter, 1846. Tucker-Vaughn Papers. Of historical value are letters written by William Tucker, father of William Benjamin Tucker, while the latter was serving with Tennessee volunteers in the Mexican War in 1846. He describes in some detail the successful storming of forts guarding the approaches to Monterey and the subsequent capture of the city. XVII-A-5. Box 1-35. Ac. No.1993.109. Microfilm #1431
Letter, 1847. Thomas Love. Written from Buena Vista, this letter gives an account of a speech made there by Col. Jefferson Davis. Love is highly critical of Davis, calling him "arrogant" and "unfit." Contains comments on the common soldier and a vivid description of the Battle of Monterey. "The Mississippi and Tennessee volunteers done all the fighting…." I-J-2. Ac. No. 1346
Letter, 1847. Adolphus Heiman. Writing to the mother of a soldier, the Nashville architect notes Gen. Pillow's arrest of her son, Robert. The young man cut loose another soldier Pillow ordered tied to a wagon. I-J-2. Ac. No. 1268
Letters, 1846. George Henry Nixon. One of three letters describes the charge of Lawrence County men at the Battle of Monterey and includes a list of casualties. "I was the first man on the rampart," Nixon wrote, before he tells of killing an enemy soldier loading a canon. I-J-2. Ac. Nos. 303 & 901

|ASU Falls to High Point in 10 Innings
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Thursday, 12 May 2011 05:30
Robbie Gilles drove in two runs with a two-out double in the top of the 10th inning to lift visiting High Point to a 6-5 extra-inning win over Appalachian State University baseball on Wednesday evening at Beaver Field at Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium.High Point (22-27) snapped a seven-game losing streak with the win while Appalachian (28-22) dropped consecutive games for the first time since April 16-17.
With the score knotted at 4-4 in the top of the 10th, ASU closer Taylor Miller (Raleigh, N.C./Wakefield) was one strike away from getting out of a two-on, nobody-out jam when Gilles hit his two-run double deep into the right center field gap on a 1-2 pitch from Miller.
The Mountaineers put two runners of their own on base with nobody out in the bottom of the 10th when Trey Holmes (Rockwell, N.C./East Rowan) led off with a sharp single through the left side of the infield and Jack Myers (Charlotte, N.C./Myers Park) followed with a walk. Cleanup hitter Daniel Kassouf (Lexington, N.C./North Davidson) pushed both runners into scoring position with a perfectly executed sacrifice bunt and Zack Briggs (Lexington, N.C./Central Davidson) cut the deficit to 6-5 on an RBI groundout to second base. However, with the tying run just 90 feet from home plate, freshman Preston Troutman (Rockwell, N.C./East Rowan) struck out looking at three-straight pitches to end the game.
The contest went to extra frames due in large part to a costly error and a lack of timely hitting by the Mountaineers. Two of HPU's four runs in regulation were unearned due to a throwing error by Appalachian shortstop Will Callaway (Greenville, S.C./Eastside) in the third inning but, perhaps more critically, ASU put runners on base in five of the final six innings of regulation but were not able to push a run across after jumping out to a 4-2 advantage after just three stanzas.
Holmes led the Mountaineers' 11-hit attack by going 3-for-5 with two runs scored and Tyler Tewell (Charlotte, N.C./Butler), Hector Crespo (Miami, Fla./Florida Christian) and Myers all drove in runs for ASU. Despite the RBI on a third-inning sacrifice fly, Myers had his 18-game hitting streak snapped with an 0-for-3 evening.
Miller suffered the loss for Appalachian to fall to 2-2 on the season.
Steve Antolik drove in all four of the Panthers' runs in regulation with a two-run double in the third inning and a two-run home run in the sixth and finished 4-for-5 with four RBI and two runs scored. Antolik and Drew Geissenger (3-for-5, three runs) accounted for seven of HPU's nine hits and scored five of their six runs.
Spencer Andrews (3-1) earned the win with three innings of one-run relief.
Appalachian hits the road for the next four contests, beginning with a pivotal three-game Southern Conference series at College of Charleston this weekend. The three-game set begins on Friday at 6 p.m. at Patriots Point Park in Mount Pleasant, S.C.

LAFARGEVILLE When Lenka P. Walldroff, still sleepy-eyed, got up at 6:30 a.m. last Sunday to check on her hens in their backyard coop at 33768 Route 180, she knew intuitively that something was amiss.
Though the door to the coop was closed, two cinder blocks used to support it had been knocked down, and the small door for the chickens was open. What she saw when she looked inside made her heart skip a beat: All of the pretty ones were gone, she said.
A dozen of her best hens had vanished; only two chickens and a rooster were left. There were no signs of feathers or blood, however, suggesting that the act wasnt committed by an animal.
It was like an alien sucked them up, said Mrs. Walldroff, recalling the scene. Theres no way a raccoon could have knocked down the slabs and slid open the door, so I knew right away that someone had stolen the chickens.
Mrs. Walldroff and her husband, Matthew C., turned up more evidence: tire tracks veering off Route 180 onto the grass, prints that appear to have been made by a womans cowboy boot, a bent section of fence out back.
A lilac bush about 20 feet wide blocks the view of the coop from the house. Mrs. Walldroff speculated that after midnight, the perpetrator hopped the fence, scooped up the hens in a bag and escaped in a matter of minutes.
We think this was premeditated, because they had to know that this was the best place to enter, she said. Police are still investigating the case, she said.
Grabbing the chickens would have been simple because they essentially play dead at night, Mrs. Walldroff said. During the daytime they make a fuss, but at night theyre very quiet and will hardly even cluck if theyre picked up, she said. Thats why we always add new chickens to the flock at night, when the others wont notice.
By closing the door and opening the small hatch, the thief made a poor attempt to make the act look like it was committed by an animal, Mrs. Walldroff said. But it would have been impossible for an animal to enter the property, let alone break into the coop, she said. The Walldroffs installed a wire fence around the half-acre of property last year after a fox killed six hens.
Meanwhile, other residents have reported thefts on nearby Dog Hill Road. However, Mrs. Walldroff said that to the best of her knowledge, this was the first time hens have been stolen from a coop in the area.
The theft does not make much sense economically. The couple originally purchased the chicks for $4 apiece at the local Agway. But the Walldroffs, who sell the eggs from a roadside stand for $4 a dozen, invest a lot of money to keep their hens healthy, Mrs. Walldroff said.
In addition to the $1,000 fence the Walldroffs installed last year, they spend about $30 a month to purchase organic food, feeding the hens twice a day. Collectively, the hens laid about a dozen eggs a day.
The Walldroffs already have taken additional precautions to protect their hens: a padlock has been installed on the door of the coop, and the small hatch has been boarded up. Plans are in the works to install lighting and an alarm system, as well.
Who installs an alarm system to protect hens? Mr. Walldroff asked, shaking his head in dismay. But thats what were going to do.
For the couple, raising chickens has never been about the money. Taking care of them has been an enjoyable hobby the couple shares with neighbors and family.
We do this because we love these chickens and enjoy them, Mrs. Walldroff said, adding that the birds all had unique names and personalities. To her, it feels like the loss of a group of friends.
This had really made me disgusted in humanity, to think someone could do this, she said.
A large sign posted in front of her house now reads: THOU SHALL NOT STEAL God. PLEASE RETURN OUR HENS.
I hope whoever did this will see how much heartache theyve caused and return the hens, Mrs. Walldroff said. If I woke up in the morning and found them back in the coop, it would restore my faith in humanity.

There are a handful of cult labels that the fashion world's particularly dedicated to and today's Line We Love focuses on one of those storied brands: Sandro. Much like Maje, Zadig & Voltaire, and Isabel Marant, this French line is known for epitomizing a certain sort of Parisian chicness-think: a little boyish, yet also a smidge insouciant and edgy-that drives stylephiles like Alexa Chung and Dree Hemingway crazy. Founded in 1984 by Evelyne Chetrite and her entrepreneur husband Didier, the brand's done incredibly well-there are over 140 international stores-and now Sandro's finally opening their first U.S. shop in the West Village next week. If you can't wait or don't want to make the pilgrimage to the Bleecker Street store (212.510.8390), fret not because Sandro's currently stocked at Bloomingdale's in New York City and is also available on Net-A-Porter.com. In celebration of Sandro's stateside debut, we've rounded up a few of our favorite items from their fall collection. Read on for more details and be sure to visit the New York store soon!
Striped Silk Flared Shirt with Bow ($340)
You surely have some silk button-ups in your closet, but somehow we have a feeling that they don't look like this one! With its richly hued colorblocking and crisp white collar, this blouse offers a sophisticated take on the classic rugby shirt. If you like the colorblocking, but are more in the market for knitwear, check out the Sabre Fine-Knit Sweater ($250) instead.
Wool Tweed Deep V-Neck Dress ($320, 212.705.2000)
We love the minimalist-meets-mod look of this charcoal tweed dress and think it would make a perfect layering piece. Style it with a classic white button-down-perhaps the Ecru Silk Top ($195)?-opaque tights, and oxfords for the perfect late-fall look.
Angora Beret ($110, 212.705.2000) in Animal Print
What would a French brand be without an incredible chic beret? Sandro takes this stereotypical item and turns it into something irresistible by creating a lovely leopard iteration in super-soft angora. Talk about tres chic! If you like animal prints, but prefer them in the form of some other accessory, you're sure to love the Leopard-Print Bag ($400), which is also quite cool.
Wool 7/8 Trousers ($320, 212.705.2000) in Camel
We've been on the lookout for the perfect pair of cropped pants and voila! We have found them! These above-the-ankle trousers are perfect for work or play; simply style them with a printed sweater for day, then pair them with a lace blouse and pointy pumps for a more cocktail-friendly look!
Studded Leather Belt with Bow Detail ($155) in Black
Is it possible to resist the siren's song of this perfectly executed black belt? We think not-in fact, it just might be the ideal option for a downtown lady! The bow is sweet, but thanks to the tiny silver studs, it's not saccharine. Wear it with an otherwise girly frock or use it to rein in a longer cardigan, either way, it's a must buy!
Two-Tone Platform Leather Shoes ($565, 212.705.2000)
We're always fans of wedge shoes, so imagine our delight when we spotted these crepe-soled platform shoe boots! They're a total hybrid of form and function, plus we adore their stitched white leather detailing.
Pique Cotton Dress with Removable Collar ($320, 212.705.2000)
If you're looking for a dress that's both fit for a siren and a schoolgirl, the search ends here. This slim cotton dress is decidedly flirty (hello red!), but it also comes with a white collar that you can attach for a little additional sweetness. Even better: it's also available in a black wool version with a leather collar!

Previous Director's Circle Events
Through Rise and Fall: Tidal Effects on Ice Friction and Flow
June 11, 2014 at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
Christine McCarthy , Lamont-Doherty Postdoctoral Fellow
Our ability to predict sea levels in the near future is contingent on our understanding of the processes responsible for flow of ice streams and glaciers. Observations of cyclic motion at a number of ice streams have shown their sensitivity to ocean tides, even tens of kilometers upstream. However, there are still many puzzling questions related to the mechanics of tidally modulated flow. In order to improve our understanding of complex glacier systems, we are embarking on an experimental study to explore the affect of tides on long-term ice stream strength and stability. Using funds from the Lamont Innovation fund, we have been constructing a custom, cryogenic-friction apparatus that will simulate the physics of a glacier sliding over bedrock. I will discuss the goals of the new project, including some predictions based on what we know about materials science.
Droughts in a Changing Climate: A Tale of Three Current Droughts
March 12, 2014 at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
Richard Seager , Palisades Geophysical Institute/Lamont Research Professor, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
Across the world droughts are becoming more frequent, leading to destabilized ecosystems and adversely affecting the human population. Yet within a climate perspective, the causes of droughts have only recently come to be understood. Join Lamont Research Professor Richard Seager as he discusses the causes and stresses of three current droughts in the American west, East Africa
and the eastern Mediterranean.
and the eastern Mediterranean.
Climate and Conflict
September 18, 2013 In New York City
Mark Cane , G. Unger Vetlesen Professor of Earth and Climate Sciences, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
Why do men fight? Have changes in climate been an important influence in the past? Will they be in the future? Anthropologists and historians have a rich store of anecdotal evidence. A recent, contrasting approach applies quantitative methods to investigate the connection between climate and conflict. This discourse in this
subfield is fittingly cantankerous. Mark Cane will discuss his work on two topics: El Niño and global incidence of civil conflict, and the impact of anthropogenic climate change on the civil war in Syria.
The Disappearing Cryosphere and Antarctica's Changing Ecosystems
June 12, 2013 at Lamont-Doherty
Hugh Ducklow , Professor, Division of Biology and Paleo Environment, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
Our biosphere, or biological component of Earth systems, is a tapestry of ecosystems that supports diverse forms of life. These ecosystems are changing -- often in unexpected ways -- in response to rates of warming unprecedented over the past few million years. Climates and ecosystems are changing most rapidly in the cold regions of the planet: the Cryosphere. And among polar ecosystems, no place is being altered faster than the marine ecosystem of the Antarctic Peninsula. Our research documents these changes, suggests mechanisms of change and provides clues to help predict changes throughout the world.

Climate Clues from the Silk Road to Shangri La: Uncovering links between water and climate in Asia's deepest deserts and highest mountains
Aaron Putnam, Postdoctoral Research Scientist, Geochemistry Research Division, Lamont-Doherty
Nearly half of the world's population depends on water derived from glacier melt and rainfall in the highest of Asia's mountain ranges. And yet how these water resources will respond to ongoing climate change is uncertain. Clues unearthed from beneath the shifting sands of the deep Chinese deserts, as well as at the margins of receding glaciers in the high Bhutan Himalaya, afford insights into the relationships among climate, water, and societal change in this key part of the planet. These clues from the past presage the fate of Asia's water resources in a warming world.
October 27, 2012 at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
Our annual Director's Circle luncheon and Afternoon of Science Master Classes began with a presentation by Sean Solomon about NASA's ongoing mission to the planet Mercury. Master Classes included the following options:
Visit a 1,500-ft deep drilling site on our campus where we study carbon capture and storage.
Visit a 1,500-ft deep drilling site on our campus where we study carbon capture and storage.
Explore the laboratory where engineers design and build seafloor seismometers.
Tour academia's largest and most comprehensive collection of ocean sediment cores.
Learn how we use satellite images and seismology to detect landslides.
In the final session, a panel honored Marie Tharp, one of the Observatory's pioneers, recognizing the ways in which researchers today are carrying on her tradition of innovation and discovery.
September 12, 2012 in New York City
Floods, droughts, extreme temperatures, and severe storms are occurring with increasing frequency and intensity, breaking records and forming trends that raise urgent new questions about climate change. At this special panel discussion, climate scientists cut through common misconceptions to lay out the facts about climate change and talk about how we can prepare for a future of weather weirdness.
Moderated by Heidi Cullen, Lamont-Doherty alumna and chief climatologist with Climate Central, the panel included: Lisa Goddard, Director of the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI); Peter B. Kelemen, Arthur D. Storke Memorial Professor; Richard Seager, Palisades Geophysical Institute/Lamont Research Professor; and Jason E. Smerdon, Lamont Associate Research Professor

March 14, 2012 in New York City
Participants learned from Jim Davis about the field of geodesy, which studies the Earth's gravitational field to understand changes in our planet's size, shape, rotation and more. This was followed by a panel, Drilling and Quakes: A Timely Discussion. Arthur Lerner-Lam moderated a discussion with Alberto Malinverno of Lamont's Borehole Research Group, Heather Savage of the Seismology division, and energy specialist Roger Anderson.
October 22, 2011 at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
Attendees enjoyed lunch and an opening conversation with geochemist Peter Kelemen titled Peak Earth: Population, Climate and Energy in the 21st Century. Afternoon Master Classes covered topics ranging from assessing rates of change in Antarctica's vast ice sheets to the long-term ecological impacts of oil plumes in the Gulf of Mexico.

text: Sixteen-year-old Dylan Barker, a junior at Carbon High School, shows a few pages of his 4H record book that helped win him a trip to Atlanta, GA recently. Barker was one of only six Utah 4H members to earn the right to to represent the state at the national gathering. Dylan is the son of Michele and Dorrell Barker. His book recorded the progess of his pork and poultry projects on the family farm southeast of Price. It earned him the chance to compete with other students in the state. While in Atlanta, he got to meet 4H-ers from other states during the five-day session. He found the change of scenery interesting, but noted that, "Their city is bigger, but their mountains are like speed bumps to us." Among the workshops and tours he enjoyed were robotics, baking, and a visit to the CNN studio. Dylan said two dances were fun, and he also got to dine at what he called "an extremely formal dinner."

On Saturday, the editors at the New York Times decided to print Alan Feuer's story of his odyssey into the fringes of society — the "preppers," those people who are preparing for some type of national collapse, often the insolvency of the U.S. financial system.
Feuer, a reporter for the Times who has determined for himself that the U.S. economic system is set for a major shakeup, including high levels of price inflation, said he became concerned about his financial future somewhere "between the fall of Lehman Brothers [in 2008] and the corresponding rise of quantitative easing when it occurred to me … that the financial system was appallingly unstable and that the realm of the possible now included a disruptive reduction in the value of our money."
With only occasional barbs thrown at "preppers," such as derisively commenting about people who believe that "bug out bags" — kits or backpacks filled emergency supplies — were somehow sufficient to see people "through the collapse of civilization," Feuer reported on a vast network of people and corresponding websites devoted to the idea of "preparing for the worst," or The End of the World as We Know It, each with differing views of the coming cataclysm.
What he found was vastly different than he expected:
To the unprepared, the very word "prepper" is likely to summon images of armed zealots hunkered down in bunkers awaiting the End of Days, but the reality, at least here in New York, is less dramatic.
Local Preppers are doctors, doormen, charter school executives, subway conductors, advertising writers and happily married couples from the Bronx. They are no doubt people that you know — your acquaintances and neighbors. People, I'll admit, like myself.
Of course, as is fitting with "The Newspaper of Record," a leftist lean was clearly evident. Feur showed his disdain for people who believe that many of the world's wealthiest people work in a concerted fashion to influence the direction of international politics — even though the wealthy often admit to doing that very thing: "Prepping" to the uninitiated or deliberately misinformed, he said, "continues to be thought of as a marginal and unseemly business, something on par with believing that the Bilderberg Group controls world events."

People who remember when I posted the factorial of 65,536 surely remember that my Ruby script took ~4:30 minutes to complete while a Python2.1 script took over 12 minutes. *I downloaded Python2.2 (which now unifies short integer and long integers) and tried the script again. *Here are the new results:

DEKALB JUNCTION The shelves are full at DeKalb Building Supply, which is open to suggestions on how it can better serve the community, including being the host of DeKalbs first farmers market.
Were working to get the inventory back up, owner Clark R. Porter said. At first, it was hit-or-miss. I think weve got 15,000 different items now.
The sign at the front of the building on Route 11 still says Carvel Ace Hardware but a new one is on its way. The store will celebrate its grand opening throughout May with further specials planned for May 16 and 17.
Hours starting in May will be 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.
The store has been a mainstay of DeKalb Junction for years, but was on its last legs when Mr. Porter bought the building and inventory from Lee J. Carvel.
It was still open but barely had a pulse, Mr. Porter said.
Mr. Carvel is running his trophy business in the store until at least June 1.
So far, the front end of the store is stocked with Milwaukee tools, garden supplies, hardware, paint, plumbing and household products. The store will offer metal roofing, spray foam insulation and lumber. Mr. Porter also is considering the grain business. A cooler for cheese may be added, as well as Amish-made goods for sale outside.
I see us doing a tool rental eventually, Mr. Porter said. A lot of it is space and organization. Were slowly improving. The store in general is not going to be your typical run-of-the-mill hardware store.
Store employees include manager Scott A. Davison and long-time associate Linda Soulia. Another full-time employee has been hired.
Ill pretty much fill in with my other full-time people, Mr. Porter said.
Mr. Porter, in partnership with his wife, Jordan I. Porter, said he decided to open the business because he could use up the inventory even if the business fails.
He has a property-management business for students and others in Potsdam, Canton and Gouverneur, and is a partner in Northern Tier Contracting.
The property will also host the DeKalb Farmers Market, which is scheduled to run from 1 to 6 p.m. Wednesdays May 7 to Oct. 15.
The market, which will take place on the same day as the weekly livestock auction, will have later hours than most. It will offer vegetables, fruit, herbs, syrup, plants, honey and crafts.
I think its going to be amazing, said Renee C. Smith, North Country Pastured. Hopefully itll take off and be another way for people to get fresh, local vegetables.

Lil' Kim in the gift that just keeps giving.
The rapper staged a mini-comeback this year with her "Return of the Queen" tour and has surprised us with her changing looks at every stop along the way.
The Queen Bee played chameleon in 2012, looking completely different at the BET Awards, West Hollywood Pride and New York Fashion Week.
And her brand new holiday card only continues her transformation.
Lil' Kim shared the card with her fans yesterday on Twitter, showing her surrounded by presents as she walks down the stairs (left). Sporting a massive bouffant and a ridiculously cinched waist, it's yet another wild look from The Notorious K.I.M.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
In the last few weeks Carbon County has installed a vast area of green sod around the Carbon County Senior Center near the fairgrounds. Before the lawn, since the center opened three years ago, a type of xeriscaping was in place, one that was supposed to have not required much water.
However, according to Carbon County Commissioner Jae Potter, that landscaping wasn't working out for a number of reasons.
"There was a lot of complaints about how it looked," he told the Sun Advocate on Tuesday afternoon. "We had groups come out to book things at the fairgrounds area and they would see that. Some saw it and would say no."
However, rather than making a good first impression the only reason for the change, Potter went on to explain that it had more to do with costs; the costs of maintaining a xeriscape that did not work.
"Last year we spent about $20,000 hiring part time and SOS temporaries to keep the weeds down and make it look good," he said. "It really just looked like a weed patch."
However some citizens have complained about the fact that the county has put in lawn around the center in a year when water will be scarce. One resident even sent a letter to the commission expressing that if the county kept its lawn green he certainly would not let his lawn die either.
Potter said that he understands people's frustrations and concerns, but that the county needed to do something about not only the way the area looked but also what it would be costing tax payers.
"Up until last year we had been making some trade offs with the Price River Water Improvement District to provide water to the fairgrounds area," he stated. "We were using culinary water for everything. However those trade offs ended the year before last and we spent $100,000 on water last year."
He went on to explain that the county has now installed an entirely new irrigation system for the total complex that will utilizing irrigation water from the canal system with which the county has water shares.
However, Nadine Morris, a concerned citizen who was one of those that contacted the Sun Advocate about the situation, said that people need to change their thinking when it comes to water use in the desert like climate that the people of Carbon County live in.
"When are our major water users going to accept the fact that we are in a desert?" she asked. "Every year it gets worse and worse, with shorter and less productive winters."
Morris points out that xeriscaping works in other areas of the country, like in Arizona where they have been doing it for years. But she also pointed out that that while the county had installed the new grass that covers more than five acres of land, others in the county are just as guilty continuing to keep grass they do not use, but that they continue to water despite the lack of water availability.
"USU Eastern, where there is a need for parking, could remove some of that large expanse of grass in the front of the campus and plant beautiful trees and native plants in the medians," she said. "And Carbon School District, where large areas of basically unused grass at some schools like the Castle Valley Center, could plant those areas in native plants and shrubs in a desert landscape. Those areas could be used as a learning tool on ecology and conservation for students."
But Potter pointed out that the previously in place xeriscaping at the Senior Center wasn't without water or a water system.
"Water is water," said Potter. "The xeriscaping in place already had a drip irrigation system that went to the grasses and bushes, so it was using water too."
It's hard to find anyone who doesn't like a vast area of green lawn to walk across and play on. Yet the controversy about businesses and government agencies constructing buildings and then surrounding them with green grass goes on all around the country. In many cities in the southwest there are rules limiting lawn size and types. Even the San Francisco, Calif. area has had limits put on the amount of water that can be used for lawn watering in an area that is often considered one of the places that gets a lot of natural moisture from ocean storms that frequently traverse the area.
Potter pointed out that the county has built four bays behind the pump house at the fairgrounds that are designed to hold water until the sediment can be settled out before being used for landscaping irrigation. Water from this system is the low-cost alternative to the treated water the county has been using for years.
On top of that, if needed, the fishing pond at the fairgrounds could be used as a backup, but only if really needed.
"That project was built in conjunction with the Division of Wildlife Resources so we have to preserve the fishery there," he said. "But we keep it overfilled just in case."

Upland Birds
Kansas boasts some of the best upland bird populations in the world. In fact, the largest concentrations of both lesser and greater prairie chickens are found in Kansas. Bobwhite quail still thrive throughout much of the state, and in the far southwest corner, scaled quail can be found. Although not native, the ring-necked pheasant has become a fixture to much of the Kansas landscape. This variety and abundance of opportunities has made Kansas one of the more popular destinations among bird hunters worldwide. All upland bird populations fluctuate annually according to weather and habitat conditions. To assist hunters with travel plans, KDWP staff use a variety of surveys to assemble the Upland Bird Forecast , which is published each September. The forecast provides up-to-date information about bird numbers around the state.

Aug 11, 2014 | By Linda
The Snapload Style 12x12 Scrapbook albums are, first of all, just what I need for my chronological albums. The Snapload style puts it over the top for me and I do not want to go anywhere else for my 12x12 scrapbook albums - they are the best anywhere around. After working weeks and months on the year's photos, the Snapload Style Fabric scrapbook albums really showcase my family treasures. Your website is the best!

No Better Album for Me!
Mar 7, 2014 | By Linda McQuerry
I have been scrap booking since 1998. Once my albums became thicker, I was able to expand with the metal posts, but found that invariably some posts would not connect well and it became a bother. When I found the Snap Load method, gone are the metal posts! It is the best for me; and now that the Pioneer albums come with the snap load feature, it is a win-win!

Great but most refills on market are too big
Dec 27, 2011 | By Margaret Aurand
Much easier than the post bound albums to take apart and put together. Facing pages done as a single layout display perfectly with this binding. The catch is that the refills are just a tad smaller than those commonly available in stores and online. All of which means you must buy Pioneer's RMW-5 refills. For me, this is a tremendous duplication of expense.

These soft-gels support healthy heart, bones, joint, immunity, skin, and vision. This is a great way to supplement our diet with omega 3 and flax oils. They are easy to swallow. I love these vitamins especially because they are food based.

When, in 1846, the southern line of British Columbia was determined, all that remained was called Oregon. Later, from Oregon was set off Washington; from Washington was set off Idaho; and from Idaho, for the most part, was set off Montana. Thus for some part of the history of Montana we look to the annals of Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and the Northwest Coast; for part of the history of Idaho we look to the annals of Washington and the rest; and for the history of Washington we must have also the histories of Oregon and the Northwest Coast.

Anyway, things are about to change...
All because I happened to see this gas burner for sale in the local grocery market at only US$32.00:
It has 4 rings. The diameter is about 8 inches. Just use a portable natural gas tank. Nice. I was hoping to find some burner that uses compressed air to boost the heat but so far I haven't seen one available in the USA.
That just got me interested to start a project on my stove and wok shopping. I am posting my photo journal to share with all of you on my thought process in evaluating different burners/woks and related equipment.
The burner that I saw, of course, is far less powerful than the one posted by infernooo:
My new wok burner, 120000 BTU/hr!
but it is still pretty nice to have.
Assuming that I am going to get that burner, my next task is to shop for a good wok, then go through the proper way to season it, etc..
In the same shop, I have found only 2 different models. The first one:
is a cast-iron wok, about 28 inches in diameter. I rejected this wok right away because:
1) It is very heavy. There is no way to pick up the wok and toss the food around.
2) It has 2 small "ears" but no handle. I like to use the handle to toss the food around when cooking, the same way I do with the frying pans.
The second model:
is a stainless-steel (I think - but it's all black in color) wok, about 18 inches in diameter. This looks promising. It is not too big, and not too small. It looks just about right. It has a round bottom, not flat. I picked it up with my left hand and practice the tossing motion and it felt about right.
I took the second wok to placed it on top of the burner. It wasn't a perfect fit. The wok was too small to rest on the outer tripod. It was resting on the smaller, inner tripod. The wok could wobble a little bit. I am not sure if this would cause problems.
I haven't come to any conclusion yet. I need to shop around some more for different wok models and, possibly, burner models. I will make a trip to San Francisco to see better selections if I have too...
Any comments and idea sharings are appreciated!
