Management Problems
The management goals, objectives, and strategies for the Spring River Tributaries Watershed were developed using information collected from the Spring River Tributaries Watershed Assessment and Inventory (WAI) and direction provided by the MDC Strategic Plan, and the Fisheries Division Five Year Strategic Plan (1995-2000). Objectives and strategies were written for instream and riparian habitat, water quality, aquatic biota, recreational use, and hydrography. All goals are of equal importance, with objectives listed in prioritized order whenever possible. This plan includes only those activities and results the Fisheries Division of Missouri Department of Conservation can reasonably expect to achieve or influence during the next 25 years. Completion of these objectives will depend upon their status in overall regional and division priorities and the availability of human resources and funds.
Status: Problems affecting riparian and aquatic habitats include insufficient wooded riparian corridors, stream bank erosion, gravel dredging, and other point and nonpoint sources of pollution. Protecting and enhancing the riparian corridor is essential to obtaining quality aquatic habitats. A timbered stream corridor significantly influences many components of the stream ecosystem including stream bank stability, water quality, ground water absorption and recharge to the stream, amount of physical instream habitat, spatial and structural complexity of physical instream habitat, and the food web.
Objective 1.1
With the assistance of willing landowners, over a 25-year period, increase by 50% the proportion of streams with a timbered corridor width >100 feet and decrease by 75% the amount of unvegetated stream bank.
Strategy: Using the following list of prioritized watersheds management units, (developed through our evaluations of forest cover, losing streams, public ownership, point and nonpoint source pollution, and fish community data), direct our management efforts towards those watersheds of highest priority: (1) Warm Fork Spring River, (2) South Fork Spring River, (3) Myatt Creek.
- Using videotapes, field investigations, aerial photography, and satellite imagery, document and update the current and future conditions of riparian corridors and stream banks. Future projects such as the Missouri Resource Assessment Partnership Land Cover Classification need to be encouraged in order to insure that adequate data is available that will allow efficient analysis of riparian conditions over time.
- Utilizing state and federal assistance programs, such as the MDC-DNR incentive programs and educational efforts, implement riparian and aquatic habitat protection measures on streams with the cooperation of willing land owners.
Status: Little water quality or hydrologic data exists for the Spring River Tributaries Watershed. However existing data indicate that high fecal coliform levels, nutrient loading, and the potential disturbance of sediment and gravel budgets are the most severe threats to surface water quality.
Ground water has also experienced water quality problems relating to turbidity and high bacteria counts. It is from the ground water system that nearly all water for domestic use is obtained within the watershed. Poor land use practices, gravel dredging, large numbers of cattle, and runoff as well as sewage effluent associated with developed and urbanized areas all contribute to water quality problems of both surface water and ground water.
Objective 1.1
Assure that watershed streams meet or exceed state standards for water quality.
Strategy: Due to the connection between the surface water and ground water systems in the watershed, protection of surface waters, both permanent and intermittent, can also greatly contribute to the enhancement of ground water quality. Protecting riparian corridors will reduce surface runoff and provide stream bank and channel stability. Streams also need protection from other pollutants. Education of the citizenry and land owners on water quality issues and land stewardship is the best hope for improving water quality. Encouragement of appropriate agencies to enforce existing water quality laws is also required to obtain satisfactory water quality.
- Through media contacts, personal contacts, literature development, and speaking engagements to groups such as area stream teams and land owners, inform the public of water quality issues and problems (e.g. karst topography, excessive siltation, animal waste runoff, gravel dredging, septic system failure etc.) and potential solutions to these problems.
- Establish a structured water quality sampling program within the watershed in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and Stream Teams.
- Assist with training and involvement of Stream Teams in water quality monitoring and advocacy in the Spring River Tributaries Watershed. This includes promoting such projects as storm drain stenciling and stream cleanups.
- Encourage and assist with additional dye tracing studies within the watershed in order to further determine intrawatershed and interwatershed ground water movement as well as recharge area of selected springs within the watershed with an emphasis on publicly owned spring outlets.
- Assist with enforcement of existing water quality laws by reviewing 404 permits, cooperating with other state and federal agencies to investigate pollution and fish kill reports, collecting water quality related data, and recommending measures to protect aquatic communities. Additional emphasis should be placed on losing streams.
- Encourage the enforcement of existing water quality laws with an emphasis on losing streams.
- Promote "greenways" in urban and residential areas i.e. West Plains and Thayer Missouri.
- Encourage the entry of water quality data into a Geographic Information System (GIS) compatible format in order to facilitate effective data updating and analysis. This includes the creation of a 'Designated Use' data layer based on current Rule 10 CSR 20-7.031 of the Rules of Department of Natural Resources Division 20-Clean Water Commission Chapter 7-Water Quality, Tables G and H.
- Cooperate with other Missouri Department of Conservation divisions to insure all department areas follow best management practices.
Encourage limiting livestock access in riparian areas through education and/or incentive programs for willing private landowners.
Objective 1.2
Establish a hydrologic data set for selected streams and springs within the watershed in order to provide for future analysis of surface water and ground water flows.
Strategy: Priority for obtaining flow data should be placed on streams having urban areas within their drainages. Springs on public lands and flowing into stream reaches which have been shown to be significantly influenced by spring flow (refer to Habitat Conditions Section) should also be of high priority.
- Encourage the establishment of a United States Geological Survey long term daily discharge gage station within the watershed with the highest priority given to the Warm Fork of the Spring River.
- Design and initiate a flow study of selected streams and springs within the watershed using instantaneous flow measurements.
Status: An assemblage of 46 fish species, 5 naiad species, 8 crayfish species, and 45 families of benthic macro-invertebrates have been identified throughout the Spring River Tributaries Watershed. Major sport fish include bluegill, green sunfish, longear sunfish, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, shadow bass. The Asiatic clam is the only exotic aquatic species currently found in the watershed. In addition, a total of 39 "species of conservation concern" are known to occur within the watershed. These include two fish species, one mussel species, and three crayfish species.
Objective 1.1
Maintain the diversity, abundance, and distribution of native non-sport fish and invertebrate communities at or above current levels.
Strategy: High priority should be placed on protecting state and federally listed species and unique community assemblages. Focusing enhancement and protective efforts on a few species can be effective in helping other species that share the same habitat. Detecting changes in faunal composition and abundance can be accomplished by conducting routine surveys of fish and invertebrate communities. Determining reasons for any changes will be more difficult since a variety of factors (e.g. interspecific and intraspecific competition, water quality, habitat condition, etc.) could be involved.
- Assist with recovery efforts for any state or federally-listed rare or endangered species in the watershed.
- Survey fish communities in the watershed every 10 years at historical sampling sites using standardized sampling techniques. Establish additional sampling sites as necessary with high priority given to Missouri Department of Conservation areas. Incorporate data into a Geographic Information System (GIS) in order to document changes in species diversity, abundance, and/or distribution.
- Using a Geographic Information System (GIS), document locations and identify unique fish assemblages associated with natural features and special habitats such as spring branches and marshes.
- Develop criteria for identifying instream habitat needs (e.g., presence of listed species, extent of timbered stream corridor, size of stream, land use, soils, presence of permanent water, presence of sport fish, natural features, critical habitat, etc.) and develop a prioritized list of streams and stream reaches needing instream habitat restoration with priority given to public lands.
- If appropriate, initiate research projects in cooperation with Missouri Department of Conservation Research Staff to investigate reasons for significant changes in faunal abundance and distribution and recommend corrective measures.
- Coordinate with Missouri Department of Conservation Research Staff and other groups (i.e. University of Missouri, etc.) to conduct a survey of mussels on all fifth order and larger streams. Resurvey every 10 years to document changes in species abundance, diversity, and distribution.
- Coordinate with Missouri Department of Conservation Research Staff and other groups (i.e., MDNR, University of Missouri, etc.) to conduct a survey of benthic invertebrates on all fifth order and larger streams. Resurvey every 10 years to document changes in species abundance, diversity, and distribution.
Objective 1.2
Maintain or improve populations of sport fish while maintaining a stable and diverse fish community.
Strategy: Proper management of sport fish populations will depend on obtaining adequate samples to determine the status of the fishery. Currently, insufficient sport fish survey data exists for the Spring River Tributaries Watershed which allows the setting of specific management objectives. Once adequate information is obtained, future management efforts will be directed toward setting appropriate fishing regulations, protecting and improving fish habitat, and stocking where appropriate.
- Develop and initiate a regular sampling regime for high priority sport fishes to evaluate the status of their populations and provide baseline data for management decisions.
- Complete fish habitat improvement projects at MDC-managed areas where sport fish habitat is limited.
Objective 1.3
Prevent detrimental impacts on native fauna of the Spring River Tributaries Watershed by exotic aquatic species.
Strategy: Controlling the introduction of exotic species into the state is the easiest way to prevent detrimental impacts to native fauna. Once a detrimental exotic species becomes established, research will be needed to seek ways to contain or eliminate the exotic from the system.
- Continue Division participation in the Missouri Aquaculture Advisory Council (MAAC) and other organizations and advocate controlling the introduction of exotic fauna into state waters.
- Monitor for potentially harmful exotic species (i.e., zebra mussel or grass carp). This can be performed during fish community surveys.
- Educate anglers on the potential damaging effects of 'bait bucket' introductions to lake and stream communities.
Status: Little information exists regarding recreational use of the Spring River Tributaries. The Limited amount of public access and stream frontage in the watershed undoubtably is a limiting factor for recreational use.
Objective 4.1
Assure that sufficient stream frontage and access sites are developed at desirable locations to encourage public use and awareness of stream resources within the watershed.
Strategy: Assess the feasibility of limited development of selected stream frontage areas on existing public land within the watershed. Pursue the acquisition of areas of additional stream frontage adjacent to existing public lands as well as new.
- Complete the development of Martin Access on the Warm Fork of the Spring River.
- Assess sites for limited development of stream frontage areas on existing Missouri Department of Conservation Lands with efforts guided by the following initial priorities:
a. Tingler Lake Conservation Area
b. Warm Fork Conservation Area
c. White Ranch Conservation Area
d. Archie and Gracie VanDerhoef Memorial State Forest
- Pursue the acquisition of additional frontage adjacent to existing Missouri
- Department of Conservation Lands with efforts guided by the following initial priorities:
- Pursue the acquisition of stream frontage along selected permanent streams based on availability and suitability which currently have limited or no public access.
Objective 4.2
Increase awareness of stream recreational opportunities and appreciation of stream ecology and advocacy to a level that will encourage a widespread and diversified public interest in the Spring River Tributaries Watershed.
Strategy: Careful publicity which focuses on state and federally listed species as well as abundant local fish stocks can maintain and promote a continued appreciation of these types of resource elements. Providing opportunities for the public to learn about holistic stream ecology will, hopefully, create stream advocates.
- Write fishing prospectus for public release to local media, describing the specific fisheries and angling opportunities of selected waters as data becomes available.
- Provide the local and statewide media with timely "How to", "When to" articles and interviews that focus attention on activities and places such as: wade gigging, wade fishing, seasons, baits, methods and techniques for catching particular species, life histories, habitats and behaviors of various aquatic animals.
- Publicize the acquisition, development and opening of new public access sites.
- Conduct periodic recreational use surveys to determine levels of public use and satisfaction.
- Emphasize stream ecology and good stream stewardship (utilizing brochures, aquaria, and stream tables where applicable) during presentations to school groups, youth organizations, and private landowner contacts.
- Conduct outdoor youth events, such as Ecology Days at stream sites with field activities that demonstrate stream ecology and good stream stewardship.
- Facilitate the development and activity of Stream Teams and other groups interested in adopting or otherwise promoting good stewardship and enjoyment of watershed streams.
- Make public presentations that focus on the MDC Streams For The Future program.
- Provide promotional, educational, and technical stream materials to groups, fairs and other special events.
- Develop brochure which promotes best management practices within the watershed .

Dressing up to celebrate the theatrical release of a film has become common practice. People cosplay as their favorite characters, showing off their fandom and appreciation for a specific story. But for Paulo Henrique dos Santos, a Brazilian pool attendant, using Hulk costumes or makeup to recreate his favorite superhero's image was not enough.
Paulo Henrique dos Santos used industrial strength green paint, the kind typically used for ballistic missiles and nuclear submarines, to recreate the image of The Incredible Hulk. Later, when he tried to scrub the pain off, he realized that no matter how hard he scrubbed, the paint remained on his skin.
According to Brazilian site Globo Extra, dos Santos covered himself in the paint for a running event. He originally planned to use regular paint, but local shops were all sold out of the brand he wanted to use. This led him to discover the industrial strength paint.
After dos Santos realized the paint would not come off, pictures of his painted body hit the Internet, turning him into an overnight celebrity in the Vila Cruzeiro favela of Rio Janeiro. The most infamous, and hilarious, of the photos involve him and his mother double-teaming the paint.
To avoid potentially ruining bed sheets or mattresses, dos Santos slept in a room full of plastic bags. He also feared that the industrial paint would cause lead poisoning.
Thankfully, after a team of family members and friends scrubbed dos Santos for 24 hours, the paint finally came off and dos Santos is back to his normal self. It seems that dos Santos's attempt to recreate the Incredible Hulk made him an incredible individual in the process.

When I think of Don Clark I think first of him standing in a college football stadium, surrounded by people clad in clothes bearing the vibrant colors of their school.
Don is wearing a brown coverall.
Which is neither vibrant nor, so far as I know, a color affiliated with any college's athletic teams.
It might have been a Carhartt, that coverall.
The garment certainly gave the impression, at a glance, of being a Carhartt.
Although I don't believe the company has patented that particular loamy shade which is its trademark.
Possibly Don himself didn't know on that chilly October evening in Pullman, Wash., whether he was, as they put it in the high-fashion business, "wearing Carhartt."
(As in, the model is "wearing Dior." Whenever I hear that grammatical construction I envision a waifish woman lurching along the runway with Christian himself riding horseyback.)
What I am sure about is that Don cared not a whit "who" he was wearing, or whether his clothes bore an appropriate label and were dyed the correct color.
He was a true individual, which is a fine thing to be.
Better, anyway, than surrendering always to conformity, which veers as wildly as the wind, and has as much substance.
Don was made of sterner stuff, and for that I admired him.
He died Sunday at age 87.
I don't recall when I met Don, and my memory is murkier still about the circumstances.
The reason we became acquainted, though, is no mystery: We both graduated from the University of Oregon.
The way I figure it, Don found out I was a Duck in one of two ways.
Either his friend Jack Turner, who was publisher of the Herald when I started working here in 1992, told him, or else Don read the column I wrote after I came home from the 1995 Rose Bowl.
Our friendship was I suppose an unlikely one, if only because of the age discrepancy.
Don was close to half a century older, a gap which is no great impediment in the relationship between grandson and grandfather, but is rather more so for two people who share neither blood nor history of a non-genetic sort.
We got on well just the same. It helped that we never lacked for topics to kick around — when it's not football season it's getting ready to be football season, after all.
I doubt, though, whether Don and I would have built more than a passing acquaintance had we been incapable of conversing about anything but Duck football.
(Well, there's always Duck basketball, too.)
Besides having five decades on me, Don grew up in Baker. I'm intrigued by the area's history and Don told me much about the town that I, being a native of someplace else, didn't know.
We also shared an interest in, and love for, cars.
Fast cars, in particular — a subject about which Don had considerably more knowledge and personal experience.
(My childhood, if you'll pardon an analogy that's decidedly non-automotive, was rather like that of a boy who yearns to be an artist but never gets anything to work with but crayons and those watercolors that come in a plastic case with a lid and a brush with maybe a dozen bristles. The first car I drove was a 1977 Nova, a four-door the color of — and this just occurred to me — the classic Carhartt coverall. The first car I bought was scarcely an improvement: a 1978 Mercury Zephyr which despite its name didn't go like the wind but sounded like it, especially when it was afflicted with carbureted emphysema. Which was often.)
Don had raced cars. And although his competitive era was well past when I knew him, I glimpsed its remnants in the way he twisted the steering wheel and manipulated the shift lever, a manner that was a peculiar mixture of elegance and authority. When he switched gears it reminded me of a sniper working the bolt on a rifle.
Don drove a white Nissan Maxima when I met him. I rode in it once to La Grande, where we attended a U of O alumni dinner. His attitude as regards freeway speed limits was, well, indifferent.
Don had owned quite a lot of other makes but his affinity in his later years was for Nissans.
He replaced the Maxima with a dark green Altima. In September 1997 I rode in the Altima with Don to the Boise Airport. We flew to Reno and watched the Ducks beat the Wolfpack with a fourth-quarter comeback.
Don later spurned Nissan for a brief dalliance with Mercedes-Benz. We drove his Benz — an M-class SUV, in silver — to the valley in the fall of 2000, when the Ducks played UCLA.
We stayed at my parents' house in Salem on that trip.
A few weeks later we drove up to Pullman for the Wazzu game. My dad, Alan, and my brother, Michael, went along, as did the Herald's intern, Dylan Darling.
Don was of course the oldest in our group — he would have been about 78 then; my dad was but 55 — yet he drove the whole way, at least 400 miles I guess.
My parents didn't know Don as well as I did but they both liked him, and appreciated, as I did, his utter lack of pretension. Pretension is an unpleasant trait in most people but one which, it seems to me, is more typically abundant than scarce.
My mom thought Don's laugh especially endearing. It was indeed one of his distinguishing characteristics, a unique sound that melded the staccato rhythm of a witch's cackle with the infectious innocence of a child's giggle.
I was slightly surprised that I didn't hear that laugh last week. I hadn't seen Don for several weeks but I sort of expected he would amble into the office on Monday the 7th, chortling about the Ducks denying the despised Beavers the Rose Bowl for the second year in a row, and knowing I had been at the game.
I wouldn't have been shocked either had Don suggested we drive down to Pasadena in a few weeks to watch the Ducks play Ohio State. We would have traveled in his current Nissan, of course, a bright red Murano that replaced the 350Z sports car that supplanted the Mercedes.
This season's Rose Bowl is the first for the Ducks since that '95 game I wrote about.
I would have enjoyed watching this Rose Bowl with Don, just sitting on the sofa in my living room or in his.
We would have laughed.
And probably muttered a few curses when the Buckeyes pulled off a good play.
The convention at times like these is to wish the person godspeed.
But I don't think there's any need of that here.
I rode many miles with Don Clark, you see.
And he was not one to drift along with all the rest, as anonymous as a single mackerel in a school so big it makes a cloud in the sea.
Even when he dressed drab you could always pick him out.

Did you know? I sure didn't. But in 2008, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association confirmed what many in the National Marine Fisheries Service already suspected: the Caribbean monk seal (Monachus tropicalis) was extinct. Last seen in 1952, this seal once inhabited the entire Caribbean Sea, from the U.S. Gulf Coast to the northern shores of South America.
Christopher Columbus first discovered the Caribbean monk seal, just two years after discovering America. By the late 1800s, however, the species was already considered rare. According to The Extinction Website,
It [the Caribbean monk seal] appears in the account of Columbus' second voyage to America. Columbus promptly ordered his crew to kill eight of the animals, which he called "sea-wolves", for food, paving the way for exploitation of the species by European immigrants who came in his wake. Since then, the once abundant seals have been hunted for their oil and slaughtered by fishermen, who regarded the animals as competitors.
It saddens me to think how little has changed. Many local fishers in the Hawaiian Islands consider the Hawaiian monk seal—a close relative of the Caribbean monk seal— as competition, too. The endangered Monachus schauinslandi is an opportunistic feeder, eating a wide variety of fish and shellfish. It's doubtful that the 100 or so remaining
speciesindividuals in Hawaii would have a large impact on the seafood stocks around the Hawaiian Islands. However, their opportunism gets the monk seals into trouble. They are known to "steal" catch and bait from fishers. Year after year, agencies such as the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources attempt to manage public relations on behalf of the seals. And year after year the fishers get angry. Some of them try to get even.
I've seen a Hawaiian monk seal mother and pup hauled out on the North Shore of Oahu, and it melts the heart. Let's hope that our government agencies continue to be empowered to preserve the few remaining specimens for the sake of our future and theirs.

By Dr. Inell Rosario, M.D.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a common condition in which, while asleep, a person stops breathing or their breathing becomes extremely shallow for 10 seconds or more. There is ongoing respiratory effort to breathe, but no or minimal airflow is getting into the body as tissues in the throat have collapsed and are limiting air or oxygen from getting to the lungs. It is most often noticed by persons who live with the patient as the breathing pauses can be quite dramatic and alarming to hear.
Why should I care about OSA
Obstructive sleep apnea, once poorly understood and at times the source of comedy, is now understood to be a very serious medical condition affecting essentially all aspects of a person's health. Untreated OSA makes management of common diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, and obesity much less effective. Also, patients with OSA are more likely to complain of daytime tiredness, be less productive at work, be involved in motor vehicle and work accidents, and have more issues with depression. As one ages, the incidence of OSA increases in part because of the increased collapse or sag of airway tissue. Therefore, either you will eventually suffer from OSA or it will affect someone you know, so learning more about it is very important.
What causes OSA? Obstructive sleep apnea is caused by the collapse of tissues in the upper airway, especially at the level of the back of the tongue. Continue Reading →

Birds have evolved numerous adaptations for flight, including wings, powerful muscles, hollow bones, and, most distinctively, feathers. Some species, such as ostriches, penguins and kakapos, have lost the power of flight. All birds reproduce by laying eggs. Of the world's 10,000 known bird species, 12 percent are threatened with extinction.

Fordham Journeys to World Youth Day

July 29, 2013
Last week millions of Catholics participated in one of the largest and most anticipated events for young people globally—and among them were 16 members of the Fordham community.
A delegation of 14 students and two campus ministers left July 11 for World Youth Day 2013, held this year in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The group joined more than two million young Catholics from around the world for a week of prayer, music, cultural events, pilgrimages, and a celebration of Mass with the pope.
The group provided live updates of the experience from its Twitter account @FordhamWYD and on Facebook at
. While in Brazil, they celebrated Mass with Adolfo Nicolás, S.J., Superior General of the Society of Jesus, made a 73-mile pilgrimage through the Bahia region, and visited the famed Christ the Redeemer Statue at the top of Corcovado Mountain in Rio de Janeiro.
Their journey began in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, the site where the Society of Jesus arrived in the 17th century to begin their mission in Latin America. There, the group participated in Magis 2013, a pastoral experience held in the days leading up to each World Youth Day. Grounded in Ignatian spirituality, Magis brings together members of Jesuit institutions from around the world for a week of cultural immersion and solidarity.
The Fordham delegates and their international companions convened in Salvador da Bahia and then split into groups for immersion experiences. Activities ranged from volunteering on themed service projects, such as justice-oriented and environment-oriented excursions, to going on a pilgrimage.
"The students are really excited about the Magis component, because it means we'll immerse ourselves in the Brazilian community as men and women for and with others," John Gownley, assistant coordinator of liturgy for campus ministry and a chaperone for the trip, had said before the group departed.
They traveled to Rio de Janeiro on July 20, and on July 23 they joined their fellow World Youth Day pilgrims to officially launch the experience.
In addition to being an event held only every two or three years, this World Youth Day was particularly exciting for participants, because it is the first one to be attended by the newly-elected Pope Francis.
"When the students signed up to go on the trip, Pope Benedict was still the pope," Gownley said. "Once we found out that a Jesuit had been elected, it changed things in a sense, because we feel a deep connection."
The group—which comprised seven students from each of the Rose Hill and Lincoln Center campuses, as well as Gownley and Carol Gibney, associate director for campus ministry at Lincoln Center and director of Ignatian Programs—met throughout the academic year to prepare for the trip. In addition to fundraising, they had met monthly for spiritual reflection, cultural instruction, Portuguese language lessons, and even packing tutorials.
"I told them that before they leave, they should pack their bag and then walk down to their local mall and back. If they can do that with no problem, then they have packed well," Gownley said.
For Deborah Adewale, a rising junior at Lincoln Center, knowing what to pack was hardly a concern. The Staten Island native went with her home parish to attend the 2011 World Youth Day in Madrid. The effort it takes to prepare for the trip is well worth the experience awaiting the pilgrims, she said.
"It's so uplifting to see youth like myself praising and worshipping together," Adewale said. "The beautiful thing is that it shows how religion can unite people from different countries and walks of life."
And despite being a World Youth Day veteran, Adewale felt the anticipation as the date of departure drew closer.
"I would like to grow more in my faith through this experience," she said. "But I do not know what to expect, so I hope for all the best."
Gownley said that he hopes each student will receive from the experience just what he or she needs.
"At World Youth Day, you get to experience Catholicism on a global platform and see the real presence of God's work in a way that is alive and active and not isolated to me here in my community," Gownley said. "It validates something for them, especially because our students are growing up in a world where faith is secondary and is constantly challenged for them."

Wednesday February 20, 2013
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- It was a dramatic first practice session for the Daytona 500, with Ryan Newman demonstrating the instability of NASCAR's new Gen-6 race car.
Newman spun about 15 minutes into Wednesday's first session, losing control of his Chevrolet right in front of Carl Edwards and Mark Martin. All three cars sustained damage, and it's the third wreck in a week that has collected Martin.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s engine blew during the session, and putting a fresh one in his car means he will start at the back of the field in Thursday's Daytona 500 qualifying race.
Defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski missed most of the session with a fuel system issue.

But sharing isn't immoral — it's a moral imperative.
Rest in Power, Aaron Swartz. (1986 -2013)
We are not really as good at writing obits as we are at making stuff for the web, but there are beautiful and very important stuff about Aaron's incredible legacy, his amazing politics and the miscarriage of justice against him, that you should read. You can even join the JSTOR Liberator Front!
F.A.T. fellows are deeply sorry that Aaron is not anymore around and we thought the best way to remember him would be building something for the web that could be shared.
Next weekend is the anniversary of the EPIC FAIL of SOPA, in which Aaron played a key role. We reused the code of STOP SOPA campaign to build this little moment of silence and pay a html tribute to Aaron.

Beyonce Has Signed a $50 Million Deal with Pepsi
Pretty soon we'll stop calling pop musicians "artists", and just refer to them as what they're increasingly becoming: COMMERCIAL PITCHMEN.
--BEYONCE just signed a $50 MILLION DEAL with Pepsi that basically makes HER a Pepsi product.
--She'll do a new commercial and make various promotional appearances. She's also doing the Super Bowl halftime show, which is sponsored by Pepsi. And Pepsi will be investing in several of her CREATIVE PROJECTS.
"Sesame Street" Made a Video to Teach Kids About Divorce . . . But It Won't Air on the Show
"Sesame Street" has produced a 13-minute video to help teach kids about divorce. But the segment won't air on the show . . . it'll be available online, as part of something called "Little Children, Big Challenges: Divorce".
--The package also includes a storybook called "Two Hug Day", and a guide for parents.
--By not airing it on the show . . . and making it part of their optional content geared toward specific kids . . . they can tackle the issue directly without confusing or worrying kids it doesn't apply to.
--The segment stars the fairy character Abby Cadabby, whose parents have been divorced for a while.
--And here's how it initially comes out: Abby and some friends draw pictures of their homes, and Abby draws TWO houses. She explains, quote, "This one is where I live with my mommy . . . and this one is where I live with my daddy."
--Which seems like a more comforting approach than having kids watch a character experience a divorce in the present. Since Abby is already living in the situation, it should feel more normal.
--"Sesame Street" actually tried to take on divorce before . . . back in 1992 . . . and it was a DISASTER.
--They planned an episode where Snuffy would announce that his dad was, quote, "moving out of our cave, [and moving to] some cave across town." And Snuffy was upset, angry and crying.
--When "Sesame Street" previewed it to a test audience of kids, THEY FREAKED. They didn't know what would happen to Snuffy . . . they cried . . . and they became paranoid that their own parents might get a divorce.
--So the episode was yanked from the schedule, and never aired. (--For the record, "Sesame Street" says a test audience of kids reacted much better to the new divorce video. There was no crying, and they "seemed to 'get it.'")
Charlie Sheen Wants a "Thank You" From Lindsay Lohan for the Hundred-Grand
When CHARLIE SHEEN gave LINDSAY LOHAN $100,000 to pay down some of her debt to the IRS, he didn't expect anything in return. Except maybe a "thank you".
--He says, quote, "[She's] a very good and decent young lady that is just going through a lot. I'm still waiting for a text to say 'thank you.' Anything, you know?"
Pamela Anderson Owes More Than $371,000 in Back Taxes
PAMELA ANDERSON just had two tax liens filed against her. The IRS is hitting her up for more than $259,000 in back taxes . . . and the state of California says she owes them more than $112,000.
--Combined, she owes more than $371,000. This is just for 2011. Earlier this year, California said she owed $529,000 from 2010.
--And in 2009, the IRS said Pam owed them $1.7 million.
Luke Bryan Was the Big Winner at the American Country Awards
The LUKE BRYAN fix was in at last night's "American Country Awards". He came in with nine nominations . . . and WON EVERY SINGLE award he was nominated for . . . including ACA Artist of the Year.
--Other winners included CARRIE UNDERWOOD who took home Female Artist of the Year . . . and LAUREN ALAINA who won Best New Artist. MIRANDA LAMBERT'S song "Over You" won Single of the Year and Female Music Video of the Year.

- Nathan Dunlap granted "temporary reprieve" by governor
After trying, so far unsuccessfully, to stop his execution in the courts, attorneys for Nathan Dunlap have formally asked Gov. John Hickenlooper to spare the condemned killer's life.
Saying "there are many reasons to spare Nathan Dunlap, and there is no principled reason to execute him," the petition asks Hickenlooper to grant Dunlap clemency and to commute his death sentence to life in prison without parole.
Last week, Arapahoe District Judge William Sylvester moved Dunlap closer to becoming the first person executed in Colorado in 15 years when he set an execution date for the week of Aug. 18.
Filed along with the 25-page petition are letters from a collection of his supporters and death-penalty opponents, from the Lutheran Evangelical Church in America to the American Civil Liberties Union.
The package also includes, along with graphic descriptions of the violence, sexual abuse and chaos inflicted on Dunlap in his childhood — and baby pictures of him — a polished, professional-looking 40-minute video of his friends, his brother and sister, psychologists and Dunlap himself, all trying to humanize the man who has been known for nearly 20 years as "the Chuck E. Cheese's killer."
"I regret what I did. I regret what I did to those victims' families and Bobby Stephens," the now-39-year-old Dunlap, in a forest-green prison jumpsuit, says into the video camera.
In December 1993, Dunlap, then 19, went to the Aurora Chuck E. Cheese's where he once worked and killed 17-year-olds Ben Grant and Colleen O'Connor, 19-year-old Sylvia Crowell and 50-year-old Margaret Kohlberg, all employees of the restaurant who were closing it for the night. He also shot and seriously wounded a fifth employee, Bobby Stephens, and made off with about $1,500 in cash and game tokens.
Dunlap is now the longest-serving of Colorado's three death-row inmates.
Also delivered to Hickenlooper is a letter, in small neat handwriting, from Dunlap.
"I can complain about the process and the situation I'm in but after everything is said and done, I killed four people, and tried to kill a fifth, in cold blood knowing the pain I would cause," Dunlap wrote.
He acknowledged that many of the victims' families feel his execution would be justice and said, "I understand that."
Both Dunlap's attorneys and the governor's office aren't entirely certain whether Colorado law requires him to respond to the clemency request.
But Hickenlooper spokesman Eric Brown said, "I think at some point he'll have to make a response." Brown could not predict when the response would come.
Dunlap's petition landed on the desk of a governor who has publicly wrestled with the death penalty and remains deeply conflicted about it.
On Friday and Saturday, Hickenlooper heard privately from a number of people trying to sway him on the issue, including families of Dunlap's victims, prosecutors, law enforcement officials and defense attorneys.
After the week for the execution date was set last week, family members of Dunlap's victims tearfully hugged each other and called the date a step toward justice. The next step is for the director of the Department of Corrections to set an actual date during that week in August.
Whatever his final decision, Brown said Hickenlooper won't reach it hastily.
"He has always voiced the gravity and the weight that this has on him," Brown said.
For Dunlap's attorneys, the argument for clemency boils down to two themes: First, that Dunlap suffered from undiagnosed and untreated bipolar disorder when he shot the victims; and that Colorado's death penalty system is broken, expensive and "racially biased and arbitrary."
All three of the men on Colorado's death row were prosecuted in the state's 18th Judicial District, and all three are African-American.
Last week, District Attorney George Brauchler called the idea that race played a role "offensive and outrageous."
Brauchler, who was not district attorney when any of those defendants was prosecuted but who is seeking the death penalty for accused Aurora theater shooter James Holmes, said whites, Latinos and African-Americans were on Colorado's death row until their sentences were overturned.

US Coast Guard Cutters Doing Good Work in the Pacific
As guardians of the free world, how the United States Armed Forces are perceived by the citizens of other countries is of paramount importance. Consequently, they undertake a number of goodwill missions. Pursuant to this goal, the United States Coast Guard will occasionally dispatch one of its cutters to humanitarian missions in the Pacific region.
The USCG Cutter and Buoy Tender Sequoia recently had the honor of carrying out this duty, and this beautiful 225' buoy tender did so admirably. Not only did the Sequoia aid law enforcement in performing search and rescue missions, it also collected scientific data, assisted a village's rebuilding era, taught boat safety, and delivered humanitarian aid and supplies to the South Pacific. Wow. That's a lot.
While based in Guam, the USCG Sequoia traveled all about the Pacific, stopping by Pohnpei, a small island approximately 1,900 miles northeast of Australia, where it gave a tour to local school children. It then distributed humanitarian aid to typhoon ravaged atolls, and, a month later, collected various floating objects which contained tracking devices that allowed scientists to track the drift of unattended objects. After this, the Sequoia continued to perform search and rescue missions and provide aid to the island nation of Poluwat, becoming the first US military vessel to visit it in the last 30 years.
The visit of a United States Coast Guard Cutter, such as the Sequoia, is a significant event to the peoples of many of these small island nations. In addition to their humanitarian efforts, such as distributing food and medicine, the US Coast Guard also teaches boat safety and, in the case of the Sequoia visit, even repaired such vital community resources as the island's only UHF transmitter. These efforts not only promote goodwill by being a good citizen of the world, they also help to increase the efficacy of future search and rescue efforts by teaching locals to paint their boats bright colors or carry mirrors with them when they go out to sea.
The Sequoia is but one of the 225' Coast Guard Cutters (or Juniper Class) operating in the Pacific. Currently, the list of Juniper class cutters operating in the Pacific are: USCGC Juniper, USCGC Willow, USCGC Kukui, USCGC Elm, USCGC Walnut, USCGC Spar, USCGC Maple, USCGC Aspen, USCGC Sycamore, USCGC Cypress, USCGC Oak, USCGC Hickory, USCGC Fir, USCGC Hollyhock, USCGC Sequoia, USCGC Alder.
Handcrafted Model Ships is proud to offer an exact model of the Juniper class, which comes complete with a nameplate that can, by customer order, by changed to any of these beautiful ships. Simply specify what you want the plaque to read at the time of your order. These model boats are ideal gifts for anyone whose family proudly includes present of past sailors in the US Coast Guard.
The handsome model and base add a touch of class to any home or office decor, so order yours today!

Holliday is sixth with TD returns
CHARLOTTE, n.c. — With his 76-yard punt return Sunday, Trindon Holliday became the sixth Broncos player with more than one special-teams touchdowns in the same season.
Also accomplishing that feat were Al Frazier in 1961 (one punt return, one kickoff return), Goldie Sellers in 1966 (two kickoff returns), Rick Upchurch in 1976 (four punt returns), Upchurch in 1982 (two punt returns), Darrien Gordon in 1997 (three punt returns) and Eddie Royal in 2009 (one kickoff return, one punt return).
"Doing it back-to-back weeks is fun," Holliday said. "We'll just go back to practice next week and see if we can build on it."
Mike Pereira, an NFL rules analyst for Fox television, said the return should have been called a fumble and subsequent touchback because Holliday flipped the ball in the air in celebration just before the ball crossed the plane of the goal line.
"It was confirmed," referee Al Riveron told a pool reporter. "The entire play on a scoring play is reviewed."
Riveron added he had not talked to the replay officials.
Fox gets game ball. After the Broncos' victory, owner Pat Bowlen delivered the game ball to coach John Fox.
"I know this one means a lot more to you," Bowlen said.
Fox was Carolina's coach for nine years from 2002-10. When his contract wasn't renewed, Bowlen quickly gave him another one. Fox is 15-12 in his two seasons with the Broncos, counting last year's postseason run.
"It was a little strange. I had never been in the visitors' locker room," Fox said of his return. "All the years I've been here as a head coach, I had never been here. But it was great getting back. My sons are still out here going to school, so it was neat seeing family."
Close calls. Elvis Dumervil's shoulder strain was the most serious of the Broncos' injuries Sunday, but they had several other near misses with some of their marquee players .
Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, running back Willis McGahee and linebacker Von Miller also left the game briefly, but all returned. Quarterback Peyton Manning also briefly grabbed his knee after the brace he wears appeared to catch in the grass when he slid after a run in the first half.
Manning didn't leave the game.
Miller's had looked the most serious, as his left ankle was rolled up on in a pile during the Panthers' second possession of the game. He initially grabbed his left ankle and was helped off the field.
He returned a few plays later.
"A guy just rolled up on me. I had to come out," Miller said. "But they worked on me, and I was able to get back out there and go. It wasn't as bad as it looked right away."
Blog: First-and-Orange
The Denver Post's NFL reporters post analysis, notes and more on this blog focusing on the Denver Broncos.
Century-mark man. Thomas caught nine passes for 135 yards to reach triple figures for the fifth time this season.
"I'm just doing what they want me to do — beating my defender," Thomas said. "The offensive line is giving Peyton enough time to throw, and he's putting the ball on the money."
Prater's streak ends. Broncos kicker Matt Prater missed his first field goal of the season — a 43-yarder in the second quarter — to end his streak of 11-for-11, including a 53-yarder earlier in the quarter.
"I hit it pretty good," Prater said. "There was a little wind today, and I hit it straight, but I hit it a little right and it kept drifting on me. It was a good learning experience."
Prater made a 27-yarder in the fourth quarter.
Williams returns. D.J. Williams is finally a free man, at least in the court of the NFL. The Broncos' linebacker served the final day of his nine-game suspension Sunday. He can rejoin the team in all activities starting Monday, although the team won't start practicing until Wednesday.
Third-down dominance. The Broncos held the Panthers to an 0-for-12 showing on third down. It was just the fourth-time since 1991 the Broncos held an opposing offense without a conversion.

I hope so too! but it would be hard to turn down a DC position at a school that is doing pretty well. PLEASE STAY CHRIS ASH!!!!
Wally probably referred him so his son could be in line for DC after he retires instead of Ash

Agree. It really would be no different that when PR left ISU to go to Pitt. It is a definite "promotion" so should Ash be offered and he accepts...congrats to him! He should do it!
That said...I wish we could find some sort of stability! Hard to control that...

Adding JavaScript
This chunk should describe in detail how to add JavaScript to the head of a template using the Joomla! 1.5 API calls. It should be aimed at people who have only minimal knowledge of PHP, HTML and JavaScript.
Add the following code to have the javascript library /media/system/js/sample.js included in your template.
<?php $document = &JFactory::getDocument(); $document->addScript( '/media/system/js/sample.js' ); ?>
Ultimately you are trying to have the resulting HTML page have in the <head> ... </head> area have a javascript include:
For Example:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/media/system/js/sample.js"></script>
Ensure that the javascript you want to include is in the directory, from the above example:
When you are able to load both your page and see the <script> tag in the <head> area, and be able to load the javascript from the address
Again, using the example:
Then the script is integrated into your page, and you can proceed to using javascript in your HTML.
Do not directly add the <script> to your template's index.php.
The code will insert the the <script> line where your index.php has the following line:
<jdoc:include type="head" />
Add this PHP code to your page, in the head, or next to the javascript code you will use, depending on your preference.
<?php $document = &JFactory::getDocument(); $document->addScript( '/media/system/js/sample.js' ); ?>
Reload your template and view the page, and ensure that the sample.js is included in the <head>
Adding Javascript Files Using JHTML
You may also use the JHTML script method to add a javascript file to the head of your document.
<?php $filename = 'path/to/file/filename.js'; JHTML::script($filename); ?>
There is a second parameter that can be passed to the script method. The parameter is a boolean (true/false). You would set this to true if you wanted MooTools loaded as well.
<?php $filename = 'path/to/file/filename.js'; JHTML::script($filename, true); // MooTools will load if it is not already loaded ?>
Please Note: Joomla 1.6+ may or may not handle MooTools differently than in previous versions.[1]

- Abstract
- A three 3D transient finite element model has been developed to predict the temperature distribution in Ti6Al4V alloy plate workpiece. It is found that the temperature profile is strongly dependent on the parameters of the laser beam and material properties. Also the thermal model results were compared with results produced by experimental work and these show close agreement.

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - It wasn't the offensive onslaught we're
accustomed to seeing from LeBron James, but when his team needed a bucket, the
Miami superstar stepped up.
James poured in 14 points in the fourth quarter, including a clutch 3-pointer
late in regulation to help the Heat extend their win-streak to 13 games with a
98-91 triumph over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday at AmericanAirlines Arena.
James finished with 18 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds, while Dwyane
Wade led the way with 22 points and eight assists in Miami's 11th straight
home victory.
Marc Gasol scored a game-high 24 points and grabbed nine boards, while Mike
Conley and Zach Randolph donated 14 points apiece for the Grizzlies, who saw
their eight-game winning streak come to an end.

Troops stationed overseas will be able to watch the graduation ceremony at Lejeune High School, located at the Marine Corps base.
The ceremony for 88 graduates is being held Thursday evening at the Base Theater.
It will be recorded and sent via live-feed to the students' parents who are currently deployed.
School officials say the class of 2013 earned 40 scholarships amounting to $227,000.
Upon graduation, 49 percent of the students obtained a cumulative grade point average greater than 3.0.

Wow that's just ... wow.
I joined ConceptArt.org last week to make my comment on their forum regarding the map Torstan linked in his General Forums thread "map that needs some love".
So I decided to upload my portfolio onto their site and three days later I received a commission from one of the other artists there. They don't want me to map per se, rather they want me to colorize an existing B/W map he is using for an online game site.
Problem is, its the most River Violation riddled map I have ever seen. Although I'll do what he asks in coloring it in, I had to tell him all the river violations on his map. To the point that I want paid for the commission, but I really don't want credit for doing the work, as I do not want to be associated with such a violated map.
I had to laugh, at how bad the river violations are! "Cringe"

Wow that's just ... wow.
Perhaps try thinking of them less as rivers, and more as very thin bits of sea between very close together land masses?
That is pretty shocking.

We should require these so-called artists to do an internship here. Interesting concept, too bad the natural laws of geology prohibit something like this from ever actually happening.

The 4am-8am window has come and gone... and so has the rain. No major issuse reported around here - some decent winds and some downpours, but that's all.
Clearing is beginning, and will last throughout the day. With the clearing comes the cooling. Highs today will likely be some of the mid an upper 60s we saw early this morning. Some spots may try to get back into the mid 60s, but it's not all that likely for all of us. As we keep clearing and cooling, temps will fall into the mid 30s tomorrow morning.
More sun and dry for Thursday, highs around 60. Another Frosty start on Friday, mid 30s. Maybe some showers back in the forecast for Saturday afternoon... we'll see how that all plays out.
There's always more on Facebook and Twitter... connect with us!

The new timepiece by Jaeger-LeCoultre has a rendezvous with the sky. It offers an authentic anthem to the creative freedom that has inspired the Manufacture in the Vallée de Joux since 1833. Paying tribute to artistic crafts, its elegance is inextricably bound up with its mechanical excellence.
Created in complete harmony with traditional horology, it illustrates 180 years of history, expertise and technical perfection. The Rendez-Vous Celestial by Jaeger-LeCoultre is an invitation to embark on a galactic voyage and a vivid reminder that, 180 years ago, it was beneath the same star-studded sky that Antoine LeCoultre gave rise to what would become the Grande Maison in the Vallée de Joux.
Nestling in its 18-carat white gold case, the watch reveals the full force of charm by a ricochet effect. Like a luminous echo, diamonds dance across the sides of the case all the way to the crowns and the bezel, before unfurling like a diadem above the numerals. The dial succumbs to the beauty of rare crafts while preserving the impeccable readability of all the functions. The collection's characteristic hour numerals feature a contemporary shape stretching across the curve of a crescent that is hand-guilloché according to the ancestral tradition of this decorative art, and coated with a transparent blue lacquer. The hour arc tops a disc providing a spectacular vision of the sky with the constellation appearing on a precious lapis lazuli plate. Offering a delightfully lyrical touch, the designers of the model have chosen to incorporate a shooting star as a means of customising time: via a second crown adorned with an inverteddiamond, the mobile star serves to set a personal rendezvous with the stars.
Accentuating the celestial ambitions that make this watch a perfect instrument for making astronomical observations, a zodiac calendar on the dial serves to show the position of the constellations at any moment of the year, by means of an annual calendar that governs the system of time display and measurement. The mechanical automatic movement, Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 809, rotates the star disc at the imperceptibly gradual pace of one turn every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 04 seconds.
