This is Python release 1.5 alpha 1 ================================== ****************************************** *** RELEASE RESTRICTED TO PSA MEMBERS! *** ****************************************** What's new in this release? --------------------------- Ehm, I'll be more complete later. Som highlights: I've completed the Grand Renaming. It's much faster (almost twice for pystone.py -- see Tools/scripts.) There's an assert statement, and a -O option that squeezes SET_LINENO instructions and if __debug__ code. It's much smarter (only on Unix, so far) about the initial value for sys.path. See the usage message (python -h). There's an explicit structure that maintains all per-thread globals. Unfinished projects: documentation; multiple independent interpreters; better embedding support; more Windows support. What is Python anyway? ---------------------- Python is an interpreted object-oriented programming language, and is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java. For a quick summary of what Python can mean for a UNIX/C programmer, read Misc/BLURB.LUTZ. If you have web access, point your browser to http://www.python.org. How do I learn Python? ---------------------- The official tutorial is still a good place to start (in the Doc directory as tut.tex; and http://www.python.org/doc/tut/tut.html). Aaron Watters wrote a second tutorial, that may be more accessible for some: http://www.wcmh.com/uworld/archives/95/tutorial/005.html. There are now also two books on Python. While these are still based on Python 1.3 or 1.4, the language is so stable now that you'd be hard pressed to find places where the books are out of date. The books, both first published in October 1996 and both including a CD-ROM, form excellent companions to each other: Internet Programming with Python by Aaron Watters, Guido van Rossum, and James Ahlstrom MIS Press/Henry Holt publishers ISBN: 1-55851-484-8 Programming Python by Mark Lutz O'Reilly & Associates ISBN: 1-56592-197-6 If you don't read instructions ------------------------------ Congratulations on getting this far. :-) To start building right away (on UNIX): type "./configure" in the current directory and when it finishes, type "make". The section Build Instructions below is still recommended reading. :-) Copyright issues ---------------- Python is COPYRIGHTED but free to use for all. See the full copyright notice at the end of this file. The Python distribution is *not* affected by the GNU Public Licence (GPL). There are interfaces to some GNU code but these are entirely optional and no GNU code is distributed with Python. For all these packages, GPL-free public domain versions also exist. A modest plug ============= ********************************************************************* * Without your help, I won't be able to continue to support Python! * ********************************************************************* If you use Python, please consider joining the Python Software Activity (PSA). See http://www.python.org/psa/. Organizations that make heavy use of Python are especially encouraged to become corporate members! Build instructions ================== Before you can build Python, you must first configure it. Fortunately, the configuration and build process has been streamlined for most Unix installations, so all you have to do is type a few commands, optionally edit one file, and sit back. There are some platforms where things are not quite as smooth; see the platform specific notes below. If you want to build for multiple platforms sharing the same source tree, see the section on VPATH below. You start by running the script "./configure", which figures out your system configuration and creates several Makefiles. (It takes a minute or two -- please be patient!) When it's done, you are ready to run make. You may want to pass options to the configure script -- see the section below on configuration options and variables. To build Python, you normally type "make" in the toplevel directory. This will recursively run make in each of the subdirectories Parser, Objects, Python and Modules, creating a library file in each one. The executable of the interpreter is built in the Modules subdirectory and moved up here when it is built. If you want or need to, you can also chdir into each subdirectory in turn and run make there manually (do the Modules subdirectory last!). Once you have built an interpreter, see the subsections below on testing, configuring additional modules, and installation. If you run in trouble, see the next section. Troubleshooting --------------- See also the platform specific notes in the next section. If recursive makes fail, try invoking make as "make MAKE=make". If you run into other trouble, see section 3 of the FAQ (file Misc/FAQ) for hints on what can go wrong, and how to fix it. If you rerun the configure script with different options, remove all object files by running "make clean" before rebuilding. Believe it or not, "make clean" sometimes helps to clean up other inexplicable problems as well. Try it before sending in a bug report! If the configure script fails or doesn't seem to find things that should be there, inspect the config.log file. Platform specific notes ----------------------- (Some of these may no longer apply. If you find you can build Python on these platforms without the special directions mentioned here, let me know so I can remove them!) Solaris: When using Sun's C compiler with threads, at least on Solaris 2.5.1, you need to add the "-mt" compiler option (the simplest way is probably to specify the compiler with this option as the "CC" environment variable when running the configure script). Linux: On Linux version 1.x, once you've built Python, use it to run the regen script in the Lib/linux1 directory. Apparently the files as distributed don't match the system headers on some Linux versions. (The "h2py" command refers to Tools/scripts/h2py.py.) The modules distributed for Linux 2.x should be okay. Shared library support now works by default on ELF-based x86 Linux systems. (Note: when you change the status of a module from static to shared, you must remove its .o file or do a "make clean".) DEC Unix: When enabling threads, use --with-dec-threads, not --with-thread. AIX: A complete overhaul of the shared library support is now in place. To enable it, uncomment the LINKCC line in the Setup file. See Misc/AIX-NOTES for some notes on how it's done. WARNING! In some versions of AIX, you get errors about Invalid Indent when running the Python test set. This appears to be a bug in the AIX compiler. Rebuild Parser/tokenizer.c using OPT="" or OPT=-g, or use gcc. According to the latest reports, it seems this compiler bug is still present in 4.2.1. HP-UX: Shared library support now works by default (at least on HP-UX 9.x). One other problem remains: the HP ANSI C compiler (cc -Aa) is too pedantic to use, but in K&R mode, it barfs on a few files (complexobject.c, getargs.c and operator.c). Until this is fixed, the following seems to work: make -k # this compiles all but a few files make OPT=-Aa # compile the remaining files Minix: When using ack, use "CC=cc AR=aal RANLIB=: ./configure"! SCO: 1) Everything works much better if you add -U__STDC__ to the defs. This is because all the SCO header files are broken. Anything that isn't mentioned in the C standard it's conditionally excluded when __STDC__ is defined. 2) Due to the U.S. export restrictions, SCO broke the crypt stuff out into a separate library, libcrypt_i.a so the LIBS needed be set to: LIBS=' -lsocket -lcrypt_i' 3) According to at least one report, the above apply only to SCO 3 -- Python builds out of the box on SCO 5. SunOS: On SunOS 4.1.x, when using the SunPro C compiler, you may want to use the '-Xa' option instead of '-Xc', to enable some needed non-ANSI Sunisms. NeXT: To build fat binaries, use the --with-next-archs switch described below. Configuring additional built-in modules --------------------------------------- You can configure the interpreter to contain fewer or more built-in modules by editing the file Modules/Setup. This file is initially copied (when the toplevel Makefile makes Modules/Makefile for the first time) from Setup.in; if it does not exist yet, make a copy yourself. Never edit Setup.in -- always edit Setup. Read the comments in the file for information on what kind of edits you can make. When you have edited Setup, Makefile and config.c in Modules will automatically be rebuilt the next time you run make in the toplevel directory. (When working inside the Modules directory, use "make Makefile; make".) The default collection of modules should build on any Unix system, but many optional modules should work on all modern Unices (e.g. try dbm, nis, termios, timing, syslog, curses, new, soundex, parser). Often the quickest way to determine whether a particular module works or not is to see if it will build: enable it in Setup, then if you get compilation or link errors, disable it -- you're missing support. On SGI IRIX, there are modules that interface to many SGI specific system libraries, e.g. the GL library and the audio hardware. For SunOS and Solaris, enable module "sunaudiodev" to support the audio device. In addition to the file Setup, you can also edit the file Setup.local. (the makesetup script processes both). You may find it more convenient to edit Setup.local and leave Setup alone. Then, when installing a new Python version, you can copy your old Setup.local file. Setting the optimization/debugging options ------------------------------------------ If you want or need to change the optimization/debugging options for the C compiler, assign to the OPT variable on the toplevel make command; e.g. "make OPT=-g" will build a debugging version of Python on most platforms. The default is OPT=-O; a value for OPT in the environment when the configure script is run overrides this default (likewise for CC; and the initial value for LIBS is used as the base set of libraries to link with). Testing ------- To test the interpreter that you have just built, type "make test". This runs the test set twice (once with no compiled files, once with the compiled files left by the previous test run). The test set produces some output. You can generally ignore the messages about skipped tests due to an optional feature that can't be imported (if you want to test those modules, edit Modules/Setup to configure them). If a messages is printed about a failed test or a traceback or core dump is produced, something's wrong. On some systems, test_strftime fails due to a non-standard implementation of strftime() in the C library. This can be ignored (or you can complain to your vendor). IMPORTANT: If the tests fail and you decide to mail a bug report, *don't* include the output of "make test". It is useless. Run the test that fails manually, as follows: python ../Lib/test/test_whatever.py (substituting the top of the source tree for .. if you built in a different directory). This runs the test in verbose mode. Installing ---------- Installing Python was never this easy! To install the Python binary, library modules, shared library modules (see below), include files, configuration files, and the manual page, just type "make install". This will install all platform-independent files in subdirectories the directory given with the --prefix option to configure or the 'prefix' Make variable (default /usr/local), and all binary and other platform-specific files in subdirectories if the directory given by --exec-prefix or the 'exec_prefix' Make variable (defaults to the --prefix directory). All subdirectories created will have Python's version number in their name, e.g. the library modules are installed in "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/" by default. The Python binary is installed as "python1.5" and a hard link named "python" is created. The only file not installed with a version number in its name is the manual page, installed as "/usr/local/man/man1/python.1" by default. If you have a previous installation of a pre-1.4 Python that you don't want to replace yet, use "make altinstall". This installs the same set of files as "make install" except it doesn't create the hard link to "python1.5" named "python" and it doesn't install the manual page at all. The only thing you may have to install manually is the Python mode for Emacs. (But then again, more recent versions of Emacs may already have it!) This is the file Misc/python-mode.el; follow the instructions that came with Emacs for installation of site specific files. Configuration options and variables ----------------------------------- Some special cases are handled by passing options to the configure script. WARNING: if you rerun the configure script with different options, you must run "make clean" before rebuilding. Exceptions to this rule: after changing --prefix or --exec-prefix, all you need to do is remove Modules/getpath.o; after changing --with-readline, just remove Parser/myreadline.o (but if it doesn't seem to work, always try "make clean" before giving up or complaining!). --with(out)-gcc: The configure script uses gcc (the GNU C compiler) if it finds it. If you don't want this, or if this compiler is installed but broken on your platform, pass the option --without-gcc. You can also pass "CC=cc" (or whatever the name of the proper C compiler is) in the environment, but the advantage of using --without-gcc is that this option is remembered by the config.status script for its --recheck option. --prefix, --exec-prefix: If you want to install the binaries and the Python library somewhere else than in /usr/local/{bin,lib}, you can pass the option --prefix=DIRECTORY; the interpreter binary will be installed as DIRECTORY/bin/python and the library files as DIRECTORY/lib/python/*. If you pass --exec-prefix=DIRECTORY (as well) this overrides the installation prefix for architecture-dependent files (like the interpreter binary). Note that --prefix=DIRECTORY also affects the default module search path (sys.path), when Modules/config.c is compiled. Passing make the option prefix=DIRECTORY (and/or exec_prefix=DIRECTORY) overrides the prefix set at configuration time; this may be more convenient than re-running the configure script if you change your mind about the install prefix... --with-readline: You can use the GNU readline library to improve the interactive user interface. This gives you line editing and command history when calling Python interactively. Unless GNU readline is a standard part of your system (it is on Linux), you need to configure build the GNU readline library before running the configure script. Its sources are not distributed with Python; you can ftp them from any GNU mirror site, or from its home site: ftp://slc2.ins.cwru.edu/pub/dist/readline-2.0.tar.gz (or a higher version number -- using version 1.x is not recommended). A GPL-free version was posted to comp.sources.misc in volume 31 and is widely available from FTP archive sites, e.g. ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/. Pass the Python configure script the option --with-readline=DIRECTORY where DIRECTORY is the absolute pathname of the directory where you've built the readline library. If GNU readline is a standard part of your system, don't pass '=DIRECTORY'. Some hints on building and using the readline library are in the FAQ (file Misc/FAQ). --with-thread: On most Unix systems, you can now use multiple threads. To enable this, pass --with-thread. (--with-threads is an alias.) If the library required for threads lives in a peculiar place, you can use --with-thread=DIRECTORY. In the Modules/Setup file, enable the thread module. (Threads aren't enabled automatically because there are run-time penalties when support for them is compiled in even if you don't use them.) IMPORTANT: run "make clean" after changing (either enabling or disabling) this option! Note: for DEC Unix use --with-dec-threads instead. --with-sgi-dl: On SGI IRIX 4, dynamic loading of extension modules is supported by the "dl" library by Jack Jansen, which is ftp'able from ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/dynload/dl-1.6.tar.Z. This is enabled (after you've ftp'ed and compiled the dl library!) by passing --with-sgi-dl=DIRECTORY where DIRECTORY is the absolute pathname of the dl library. (Don't bother on IRIX 5, it already has dynamic linking using SunOS style shared libraries.) Support for this feature is deprecated. --with-dl-dld: Dynamic loading of modules is rumoured to be supported on some other systems: VAX (Ultrix), Sun3 (SunOS 3.4), Sequent Symmetry (Dynix), and Atari ST. This is done using a combination of the GNU dynamic loading package (ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/dynload/dl-dld-1.1.tar.Z) and an emulation of the SGI dl library mentioned above (the emulation can be found at ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/dynload/dld-3.2.3.tar.Z). To enable this, ftp and compile both libraries, then call the configure passing it the option --with-dl-dld=DL_DIRECTORY,DLD_DIRECTORY where DL_DIRECTORY is the absolute pathname of the dl emulation library and DLD_DIRECTORY is the absolute pathname of the GNU dld library. (Don't bother on SunOS 4 or 5, they already have dynamic linking using shared libraries.) Support for this feature is deprecated. --with-libm, --with-libc: It is possible to specify alternative versions for the Math library (default -lm) and the C library (default the empty string) using the options --with-libm=STRING and --with-libc=STRING, respectively. E.g. if your system requires that you pass -lc_s to the C compiler to use the shared C library, you can pass --with-libc=-lc_s. These libraries are passed after all other libraries, the C library last. --with-next-archs='arch1 arch2': Under NEXTSTEP, this will build all compiled binaries with the architectures listed. Includes correctly setting the target architecture specific resource directory. (This option is not supported on other platforms.) --with-libs='libs': Add 'libs' to the LIBS that the python linked against. Building for multiple architectures (using the VPATH feature) ------------------------------------------------------------- If your file system is shared between multiple architectures, it usually is not necessary to make copies of the sources for each architecture you want to support. If the make program supports the VPATH feature, you can create an empty build directory for each architecture, and in each directory run the configure script (on the appropriate machine with the appropriate options). This creates the necessary subdirectories and the Makefiles therein. The Makefiles contain a line VPATH=... which points to directory containing the actual sources. (On SGI systems, use "smake -J1" instead of "make" if you use VPATH -- don't try gnumake.) For example, the following is all you need to build a minimal Python in /usr/tmp/python (assuming ~guido/src/python is the toplevel directory and you want to build in /usr/tmp/python): $ mkdir /usr/tmp/python $ cd /usr/tmp/python $ ~guido/src/python/configure [...] $ make [...] $ Note that Modules/Makefile copies the original Setup file to the build directory if it finds no Setup file there. This means that you can edit the Setup file for each architecture independently. For this reason, subsequent changes to the original Setup file are not tracked automatically, as they might overwrite local changes. To force a copy of a changed original Setup file, delete the target Setup file. (The makesetup script supports multiple input files, so if you want to be fancy you can change the rules to create an empty Setup.local if it doesn't exist and run it with arguments $(srcdir)/Setup Setup.local; however this assumes that you only need to add modules.) Building on non-UNIX systems ---------------------------- Building Python for a PC is now a piece of cake! Enter the directory "PC" and read the file "readme.txt". Most popular non-Unix PC platforms and compilers are supported (Unix ports to the PC such as Linux, FreeBSD or Solaris-x86 of course use the standard Unix build instructions). For the Mac, a separate source distribution will be made available, for use with the CodeWarrior compiler. If you are interested in Mac development, join the PythonMac Special Interest Group (http://www.python.org/sigs/pythonmac-sig/, or send email to email@example.com). Of course, there are also binary distributions available for these platforms -- see http://www.python.org/python/. To port Python to a new non-UNIX system, you will have to fake the effect of running the configure script manually (for Mac and PC, this has already been done for you). A good start is to copy the file config.h.in to config.h and edit the latter to reflect the actual configuration of your system. Most symbols must simply be defined as 1 only if the corresponding feature is present and can be left alone otherwise; however RETSIGTYPE must always be defined, either as int or as void, and the *_t type symbols must be defined as some variant of int if they need to be defined at all. Miscellaneous issues ==================== Documentation ------------- All documentation is provided in the subdirectory Doc in the form of LaTeX files. In order of importance for new users: Tutorial (tut), Library Reference (lib), Language Reference (ref), Extending (ext). Especially the Library Reference is of immense value since much of Python's power (including the built-in data types and functions!) is described here. To print the documentation from the LaTeX files, chdir into the Doc subdirectory, type "make" (let's hope you have LaTeX installed!), and send the four resulting PostScript files (tut.ps, lib.ps, ref.ps, and ext.ps) to the printer. See the README file there. If you don't have LaTeX, you can ftp the PostScript files from the ftp archives (see below). All documentation is also available on-line via the Python web site (http://www.python.org/, see below). It can also be downloaded separately from the ftp archives (see below) in Emacs INFO, HTML or PostScript form -- see the web site or the FAQ (file Misc/FAQ) for more info. Emacs mode ---------- There's an excellent Emacs editing mode for Python code; see the file Misc/python-mode.el. Originally written by Tim Peters, it is now maintained by Barry Warsaw <email@example.com>. Web site -------- Python's own web site has URL http://www.python.org/. Come visit us! There are a number of mirrors, listed on the home page -- try a mirror that's close you you. Ftp site -------- Python's own ftp site is ftp.python.org, directory /pub/python. See the FAQ (file Misc/FAQ) for a list of other ftp sites carrying the Python distribution. Newsgroup and mailing list -------------------------- There are a newsgroup and a mailing list devoted to Python. The newsgroup, comp.lang.python, contains exactly the same messages as the mailing list (though not always in the same order, due to the mysterious nature of the Usenet news distribution algorithm). To subscribe to the mailing list, send mail containing your real name and e-mail address to "firstname.lastname@example.com". Use the same address if you want to unsibscribed. (A real person reads these messages, so no LISTPROC or Majordomo commands, please, and please be patient -- normal turn-around time is about one working day.) The Python web site contains a search form that lets you search the newsgroup archives (or the web site itself). Click on the "search" link in the banner menu on any page of http://www.python.org/. Bug reports ----------- Bugs are best reported to the comp.lang.python newsgroup or the Python mailing list -- see the section "Newsgroup and mailing list" above. Before posting, check the newsgroup archives (see above) to see if your bug has already been reported! Questions --------- For help, if you can't find it in the manuals, the FAQ or on the web site, it's best to post to the comp.lang.python or the Python mailing list (see above). If you specifically don't want to involve the newsgroup or mailing list, send questions to firstname.lastname@example.com. The Tk interface ---------------- Tk (the user interface component of John Ousterhout's Tcl language) is also usable from Python. Since this requires that you first build and install Tcl/Tk, the Tk interface is not enabled by default. It works with Tcl 7.5 and Tk 4.1 as well as with Tcl 7.4 and Tk 4.0. I didn't have the time to test it with Tcl 7.6 and Tk 4.2 yet, but it might well work. See http://www.sunlabs.com/research/tcl/ for more info on where to get Tcl/Tk. Also http://sunscript.sun.com/. To enable the Python/Tk interface, once you've built and installed Tcl/Tk, all you need to do is edit two lines in Modules/Setup; search for the string "_tkinter". Uncomment one (normally the first) of the lines beginning with "#_tkinter" and un-comment the line beginning with "#TKPATH". If you have installed Tcl/Tk or X11 in unusual places, you will have to edit the first line to fix or add -I and -L options. See the Build Instructions above for more details. There is little documentation on how to use Tkinter; however most of the Tk manual pages apply quite straightforwardly. Begin with fetching the "Tk Lifesaver" document, e.g. ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/doc/tkinter-doc.tar.gz (a gzipped tar file containing a PostScript file) or the on-line version http://www.python.org/doc/life-preserver/index.html. Reading the Tkinter.py source will reveal most details on how Tkinter calls are translated into Tcl code. There are demos in the Demo/tkinter directory, in the subdirectories guido, matt and www (the matt and guido subdirectories have been overhauled to use more recent Tkinter coding conventions). Note that there's a Python module called "Tkinter" (capital T) which lives in Lib/tkinter/Tkinter.py, and a C module called "_tkinter" (lower case t and leading underscore) which lives in Modules/_tkinter.c. Demos and normal Tk applications only import the Python Tkinter module -- only the latter uses the C _tkinter module directly. In order to find the C _tkinter module, it must be compiled and linked into the Python interpreter -- the _tkinter line in the Setup file does this. In order to find the Python Tkinter module, sys.path must be set correctly -- the TKPATH assignment in the Setup file takes care of this, but only if you install Python properly ("make install libinstall"). (You can also use dynamic loading for the C _tkinter module, in which case you must manually fix up sys.path or set $PYTHONPATH for the Python Tkinter module.)

Extensive customer feedback has made us upgrade our bestseller A755 addSDI into Version 2. Now featuring 2 pulse inputs instead of one and two digital I/Os that allow status checks on equipment and even equipment control!
Here are a few examples:
Depending on the power consumption of your SDI-12 soil moisture sensor you can connect one, two, three or even four SDI-12 soil moisture sensors AND a water meter AND an irrigation gauge to check the proper flow and distribution of water. To see if your pump is ON or OFF A755 v2 also has 2 digital I/O ports for status signals and switching operations.
Most multi-parameter water quality probes available today rely on SDI-12 as their interface of choice. Many such probes even come with their own internal battery pack, so power consumption is not an issue. For some probes we recommend the use of our A917 Power Booster interface to get to the required levels of supply voltage.
Radar sensors are increasingly popular with civil protection agencies as they can easily be mounted on existing structures like bridges, thus reducing the cost of installation. One of the best selling products in this regard is the RLS radar sensor from OTT Germany, for which we have developed a little power booster interface to provide sufficient voltage from the RTUs internal battery. To improve on prediction quality you can also connect one or two rain gauges to the RTU.

From a photo essay on Avery Cardinal Dulles, S.J., to an FBI collection of confiscated art forgeries, the Center Gallery has exhibited the gamut of artwork since its opening in 2001. But this season, the most anticipated exhibit is the gallery itself.
On Sept. 23, the Center Gallery in the Leon Lowenstein Center was officially renamed the Ildiko Butler Gallery at a special opening and dedication ceremony. The appellation honors the gallery's new benefactress, Ildiko Butler, FCLC'85, who, with her husband Gilbert Butler, made a $500,000 gift to the Visual Arts Department to enhance and sustain the gallery at Fordham College at Lincoln Center (FCLC) and provide student grants, then doubled it at the dedication ceremony.
"The generous gift from the Butler family enables the gallery to operate at an increased level of professionalism with a boost in both the quality and scope of what we do," said Stephan Apicella-Hitchcock, artist-in-residence and gallery director.
"Expect wonderful things in our near future."
In addition to helping to fund art exhibitions in the gallery, the Butlers' gift establishes a unique opportunity for visual arts students, the Ildiko Butler International Travel Award for Excellence in Visual Arts. Each year, three undergraduates in the Visual Arts program will be selected by the faculty to receive a travel stipend to undertake independent artistic work during the summer or winter academic breaks.
The grants will be given based on a recipient's academic record, portfolio, and character, as well as a proposal for artistic work in another country. Preference will be given to candidates who plan to work in photography— Butler's own medium of choice.
"I think travel is very important in developing interests and broadening a person," Butler said. "It's important for an artist because you can work in a different way when you're away from home. You can observe things differently, with a new eye."
Hungarian by birth, Butler immigrated to New York with her family in 1957, following the outbreak of a revolution in their homeland in 1956. She said that after the family settled in the city, scholarship money made it possible for her and her sister to begin their educations. She began at Fordham as a history major and soon found in the visual arts program a place to nurture her love for photography.
"Scholarships are important for people who can't afford education," she said. "It helps them to start a life."
Butler attended school part-time over several years; she got married while a part-time student and began traveling widely with her husband.
"As a student she was very focused, driven, precise, and worldly," Joseph Lawton, associate professor and director of the visual arts program, said of Butler. "She knew so much about the world, having traveled. And her own photographs reflect that—they're very precise, they pay tribute to the medium itself, and [they are a tribute] to some of the names that precede her.
"She was the dream student—she challenged you, and she was enthusiastic about the medium—from its history, to its contemporary practice, to making her own images."
Along with ensuring a space for students to observe professional artworks as well as exhibit their own work, Butler's gift to the gallery and the eponymous scholarship will help current Fordham students reap the benefits of their art educations.
"The grant money buys students something precious—time," Lawton said. "It gives them the chance to step away from their academic routine, gain exposure to a different culture, and develop their artwork."
The opening and dedication will feature a photography exhibit that includes works by Butler, Lawton, and two visual arts program alumni, Tiffany Edwards, FCLC '02, and Dylan Chandler, FCLC '04.
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to more than 15,100 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx and Manhattan, a campus in West Harrison, N.Y., the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y., and the London Centre at Heythrop College, University of London, in the United Kingdom.

26 U.S. Code § 5041 - Imposition and rate of tax
prev | next
(a) Imposition
There is hereby imposed on all wines (including imitation, substandard, or artificial wine, and compounds sold as wine) having not in excess of 24 percent of alcohol by volume, in bond in, produced in, or imported into, the United States, taxes at the rates shown in subsection (b), such taxes to be determined as of the time of removal for consumption or sale. All wines containing more than 24 percent of alcohol by volume shall be classed as distilled spirits and taxed accordingly. Still wines shall include those wines containing not more than 0.392 gram of carbon dioxide per hundred milliliters of wine; except that the Secretary may by regulations prescribe such tolerances to this maximum limitation as may be reasonably necessary in good commercial practice.
(b) Rates of tax
(2) On still wines containing more than 14 percent and not exceeding 21 percent of alcohol by volume, $1.57 per wine gallon;
(3) On still wines containing more than 21 percent and not exceeding 24 percent of alcohol by volume, $3.15 per wine gallon;
(c) Credit for small domestic producers
(1) Allowance of credit
Except as provided in paragraph (2), in the case of a person who produces not more than 250,000 wine gallons of wine during the calendar year, there shall be allowed as a credit against any tax imposed by this title (other than chapters 2, 21, and 22) of 90 cents per wine gallon on the 1st 100,000 wine gallons of wine (other than wine described in subsection (b)(4)) which are removed during such year for consumption or sale and which have been produced at qualified facilities in the United States. In the case of wine described in subsection (b)(6), the preceding sentence shall be applied by substituting "5.6 cents" for "90 cents".
(2) Reduction in credit
The credit allowable by paragraph (1) shall be reduced (but not below zero) by 1 percent for each 1,000 wine gallons of wine produced in excess of 150,000 wine gallons of wine during the calendar year.
(3) Time for determining and allowing credit
The credit allowable by paragraph (1)—
(A) shall be determined at the same time the tax is determined under subsection (a) of this section, and
(4) Controlled groups
(5) Denial of deduction
Any deduction under subtitle A with respect to any tax against which a credit is allowed under this subsection shall only be for the amount of such tax as reduced by such credit.
(6) Credit for transferee in bond
(A) wine produced by any person would be eligible for any credit under paragraph (1) if removed by such person during the calendar year,
(B) wine produced by such person is removed during such calendar year by any other person (hereafter in this paragraph referred to as the "transferee") to whom such wine was transferred in bond and who is liable for the tax imposed by this section with respect to such wine, and
(C) such producer holds title to such wine at the time of its removal and provides to the transferee such information as is necessary to properly determine the transferee's credit under this paragraph,
then, the transferee (and not the producer) shall be allowed the credit under paragraph (1) which would be allowed to the producer if the wine removed by the transferee had been removed by the producer on that date.
(7) Regulations
The Secretary may prescribe such regulations as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this subsection, including regulations—
(A) to prevent the credit provided in this subsection from benefiting any person who produces more than 250,000 wine gallons of wine during a calendar year, and
(d) Wine gallon
For the purpose of this chapter, the term "wine gallon" means a United States gallon of liquid measure equivalent to the volume of 231 cubic inches. On lesser quantities the tax shall be paid proportionately (fractions of less than one-tenth gallon being converted to the nearest one-tenth gallon, and five-hundredths gallon being converted to the next full one-tenth gallon).
(e) Tolerances
Where the Secretary finds that the revenue will not be endangered thereby, he may by regulation prescribe tolerances (but not greater than 1/2 of 1 percent) for bottles and other containers, and, if such tolerances are prescribed, no assessment shall be made and no tax shall be collected for any excess in any case where the contents of a bottle or other container are within the limit of the applicable tolerance prescribed.
(f) Illegally produced wine
Notwithstanding subsection (a), any wine produced in the United States at any place other than the bonded premises provided for in this chapter shall (except as provided in section 5042 in the case of tax-free production) be subject to tax at the rate prescribed in subsection (b) at the time of production and whether or not removed for consumption or sale.

North Carolina historian Fam Brownlee will present his research on The Battle of Henry Johnson - one of the most extraordinary military events in American history.
Henry Johnson was born in Charlottesville, VA, but grew up on Sycamore Street in Winston-Salem before moving in his late teens to Albany, New York. His hour long solo fight in pitch darkness against a German platoon, which is still known today as "The Battle of Henry Johnson", is one of the most extraordinary military events in American history.
Henry Johnson displays his croix de guerre with gold palm. It was the first awarded to an American soldier in World War I.
Presented by a historian Fam Brownlee.
Saturday, February 8th, 10:30 am - 11:30 am.

Good call. I don't expect Falkow to go completely without returns in the coreset either.
With 'cheap returning cards' he probably means those that can return with sp advantage (tidal/faytis?) or have too much of a dominating influence in certain matchups (cyclone vs lvl2 rush). To better fight lvl2's Falkow will surely have to rely on Witch opens again, meaning people will be able to fight returning by taking it to the field.

I just wanted to write and tell you how satisfied we are with the boots we ordered, but also wanted to commend you for your excellent customer service! Tracy in the returns department was an absolute gem. We had to do a return for another size but were working with a narrow time frame for my daughter who needed the boots for a missions trip to Zambia, Africa. Well, we weren't sure if the next available size would be too big, but Tracy did everything she could and sent us two different kind of inserts and got it back out to us QUICKLY! Oh how I wish all customer service was like yours. Life would be so much easier and it truly adds to the value of our dollar! Thanks a lot!"

Jeremy Foxworth, who escaped earlier this week from the Graceville work camp, was captured Thursday evening.
The Florida Department of Corrections reported that Foxworth was caught by DOC canine units just before 5 p.m. in a wooded area north of Graceville. Authorities said he gave up without incident.
Foxworth walked away from an outside work detail on Tuesday. He was due to be released in 2013 but now will face escape charges and additional time in prison.
The DOC came under criticism from Graceville residents who said Foxworth's extensive record should have kept him behind bars and not working under minimum supervision.
Foxworth was serving more than eight years for crimes ranging from battery with a deadly weapon to burglary and grand theft.

Power Point Slide show about realities of military enlistment as a counter-recruitment tool. Ready to play without opening Power Point in editing mode.
As our inventory of stories grows and takes shape with regular updates throughout the year leading up to 9/11/11, we welcome the participation of educators at all levels. We hope that this web site will inspire critical thinking among your students, and that you will use our content for writing assignments, curricula, and projects around the topic of 9/11. We'll share some of your ideas here, and hope that they will encourage new conversations among teachers as well as students at this critical time.
War Resisters League has put together a workshop for high school students to learn about the all-consuming war machine which dominates our economy. The workshop curriculum uses hands-on techniques, readings and discussions to build student awareness of the issue. Starting with a breakdown of the federal budget, the curriculum goes on to analyze war profiteers who benefit from the continuation of global conflict to the justifications for the occupation and war in Afghanistan. Students can gain a concrete understanding of priorities through exercises like allocating pennies into labeled jars proportional to our annual federal budget.
Also Listen to Radio Segment with Ali Issa, national field organizer for the War Resister's League about this curriculum for students.
Camouflaged: Investigating How the U.S. Military Affects You and Your Community is a tool for educators to help middle and high school-aged students explore the role of the military in their lives and in their communities. Local New York City teachers, led by the New York Collective of Radical Educators (NYCoRE), generated the Camouflaged curriculum with the intent of making it accessible to educators across the country in a variety of settings and curricular areas. NYCoRE believes that it is the role of educators as allies to young people to ensure that students have information from a variety of sources before considering enlisting in the armed forces. At this point in U.S. history, military recruiters have unprecedented access to young people in and out of school through a variety of mediums. This curriculum provides a critical lens to help students navigate recruiters' messages and to examine the role of the military throughout this country's history to the present.
"What Young People Should Know Before Joining the Military" is a unit designed for a 10th grade US History class. The historical component revolves around imperialism and the Spanish-American War. A contemporary connection is made through a look at imperialism and the Iraq War. The final project for the unit consists of group presentations on what CPS students should know about the military before they consider joining. The presentations were videotaped and then edited and compiled to make a 15-minute video that was posted on YouTube.
Pace e Bene Nonviolence Service announces the publication of Engage: Exploring Nonviolent Living, a revised and expanded version of From Violence to Wholeness. Written by Laura Slattery, Ken Butigan, Veronica Pelicaric and Ken Preston-Pile.
Full of stories, exercises and resources, Engage is a workbook to learn, study and practice the nonviolent options available to us. It offers a guide for groups on how to take action for justice and peace in the midst of war and injustice.
Engage is ideal for advocacy organizations, faith communities, citizen action leagues, campus networks and any group seeking to work together to create a society committed to justice, democracy, peace, sustainability and equality.
Planning to Change the World: A Plan Book for Social Justice Teachers 2013-2014 is a plan book for educators who believe their students can and will change the world. It is designed to help teachers translate their vision of a just education into concrete classroom activities.
Teaching About the Wars breaks the curricular silence on the U.S. military engagement in Afghanistan and the Middle East. Even though the United States has been at war continuously since just after 9/11, sometimes it seems that our schools have forgotten. This collection of insightful articles and hands-on lessons shows that teachers have found ways to prompt their students to think critically about big issues. Here is the best writing fromRethinking Schools magazine on war and peace in the 21st century.
Teaching About the Wars is divided into five chapters:
- Introduction: Breaking the Silence on War
- The Road to War
- The Human Face of War
- Military Recruitment
- Anti-War Resistance
Contributing authors include Bill Bigelow, Ann Pelo, Margot Pepper, Bob Peterson, Özlem Sensoy, and Howard Zinn
The Class of Nonviolence is an eight session class developed by Colman McCarthy, founder of the Center for Teaching Peace in Washington, D.C. It uses classics in peace and justice literature to teach peacemaking. This course can change your life and you can change the world.
The entire eight-session / 48 essay class can be downloaded as a PDF file - it's free!

Water Quality
In a statewide survey conducted by resource management professionals, river basins were ranked in terms of intensive recreational use, bank or shoreline development, sand and gravel dredging, pollution, poor land use, intensive agricultural use, environmental intrusions, channels modification, and water withdrawals. The cumulative ranking of all categories ranked the Meramec River basin as second out of thirty-eight rivers in Missouri (Bachant et al. 1992). On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest), the recreational value was 9.2. Professional staff of resource management agencies ranked intensive recreational use, bank or shoreline development, and sand and gravel dredging as the top three problems facing the basin. As a result, survey participants expect the river to drop one rank in recreational worth in the future.
Beneficial Uses
According to MDNR Water Quality Standards, all streams within the basin are designated for aquatic life protection, fishing, and livestock and wildlife watering. From the mouth of Big River to Meramec State Park, residents use the Meramec River for drinking water supply and industrial uses. Drinking water is considered adequate and only small amounts of toxins remain after treatment. Whole-body contact recreation and boating use are designated on the Meramec River, Huzzah, and Courtois Creek systems. Also, coldwater sport fishing can be found in areas on the Meramec River ( Highway 8 to Scott's Ford) and in Dry Creek (MDNR 1984).
The basin is ranked first out of thirty-six watersheds surveyed (332,224 fishing trips) in a statewide fishing pressure survey (Hanson 1980). In a 1979 survey, 8.5% of the visits and 5% of the total recreational-use hours were angling (pole-and-line method) in four sections: the upper segment of the Meramec River, Indian Creek to Highway 185, the lower 13 miles of the Huzzah Creek, and the lower 15 miles of the Courtois Creek (Fleener 1988). Gigging use was also high. Two thousand eight hundred giggers harvested more than 9,900 fish. In a 1980-81 survey of the 117-mile lower Meramec River segment, pole-and-line fishing made up 15% of the visits. Catch rates were 0.38 fish per hour (Fleener 1988). More recently, in a 1988 telephone survey, angler effort (days fished) was 158,522 (Weithman 1991).
Threats to Beneficial Uses
Current threats to beneficial uses are excessive discharge from sewage treatment plants, cattle in streams, and dioxin and chlordane levels in sport fish. Short segments of stream near sewage treatment plants at Rolla (1993) and Salem have experienced episodes of low dissolved oxygen (MNDR 1984, 1994). Improperly maintained septic systems in the upper and middle basin have been a concern. The upper river and tributary areas experience continued problems with livestock in streams, causing localized water quality problems.
Gravel mining by large operations causes turbidity and reduction of quality aquatic habitat on reaches of the lower Meramec River. Numerous active gravel mining sites throughout the basin contribute to the accelerated transport of sediments. Permits are issued by the Army Corps of Engineers to ensure water quality, some protection of instream habitat, and to document the absence of federally threatened and endangered species.
In the upper stream segments of the basin, a threat to attainment of beneficial uses is the failure of lead or iron tailings pond dams (MDNR 1984). A number of mines in the Washington County area that affect tributaries to the Meramec River are of concern. Failure of these tailings pond dams has the potential to cause heavy metal contamination of stream waters and sediments. In the event of contamination, severe reduction in quality of aquatic habitats from sediment deposition exists. At present, dams are inspected frequently, and a dam failure is rare. Finally, in the lower segment of the Meramec River, another threat to attainment of uses would be several point and non-point discharges (see Section D5 and D6; MDNR 1984).
Overall, the streams in the Meramec River basin have well-sustained base flows during dry periods, except the Dry Fork watershed, which has subsurface flows (MDNR 1984). Below Maramec Spring, base flows are well sustained due to springs and major tributaries such as Huzzah Creek, Bourbeuse River, and Big River.
The lower basin in Jefferson and St. Louis counties has a very large and concentrated number of point-source discharges (MDNR 1984). Water quality violations are not apparent in the lower main stem of the Meramec River, except during extremely low-flow conditions where point-source discharges from domestic sources overload the system.
Water quality in the lower Meramec River has improved greatly in the last 20 years. In a 1964 survey, water quality of the lower Meramec River was high (Ryck 1971). The river was relatively unaffected by man's activities as there were no recommended limitations on whole-body contact. Only a few years later, however, a 1971 survey conducted in St. Louis County by the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) identified Meramec River water quality as at risk. MDC identified domestic sewage as the source of much of the degradation of the lower Meramec River and its tributaries. At that point, MDC considered the river moderately polluted.
In contrast to land use in the lower Meramec River watershed, upper and middle Meramec River watersheds are primarily used for agriculture. This area is thought to be responsible for the majority of the nutrient loading in the Meramec River (MDNR 1985). Cattle frequent riparian areas and stream channels areas for food and water, often leaving behind their wastes. In addition, between $1,000 and $2,000 of chemical fertilizers per year per farm are used in some counties (MASS 1995).
The Meramec River basin has many moderately mineralized springs (Figure Wq01). Calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate are the predominant dissolved components, but sulfate and chlorine comprise a significant portion of the dissolved solids in the water. Dissolved solids range from 116-338 mg/l (Vineyard and Feder 1982). Spring Creek in the Dry Fork watershed and the middle portion of the Upper Meramec River watershed have the highest number of springs (Figure Wq01).
Thirteen springs with flow rates greater than two million gallons per day (mgd) are found in the Meramec River basin. Crawford, Phelps, Jefferson, Dent, Franklin, and Washington counties have the springs with the largest flow rates. Flow rates, representing records ranging from 1924-72, are found in Vineyard and Feder (1982).
Located in Phelps County, Maramec Spring (the spelling, Maramac, is of Indian origin) is the largest spring in the Meramec Basin and the seventh largest in Missouri. The average flow is 93 mgd (Vineyard and Feder 1982). Industrious individuals used Maramec Spring as a water power source for iron production in the 1800s. Today, the ironworks are part of Maramec Spring Park, which is owned by The James Foundation of New York and open to the public. MDC, in cooperation with The James Foundation, manages a trout hatchery at Maramec Spring, which is one of four trout parks in Missouri. Six major springs, Evans, James, Roaring, Westover, and unnamed spring, are located in Crawford County. The largest of these is Westover Spring, producing water at approximately 8.2 mgd. Finally, four springs that arise on private land, known as Blue Springs, have a combined flow estimated to be 4.5 mgd. These springs feed Blue Springs Creek. This part of Blue Springs Creek, near Highway N south of Bourbon, is a wild rainbow trout management zone contained partially within the Blue Springs Creek Conservation Area.
Chemical Composition of Stream
The Meramec River is monitored by 53 STREAM TEAMs, groups, teachers, schools, and/or individuals. The Missouri STREAM TEAM is a joint venture between the Conservation Federation of Missouri, a National Wildlife Federation affiliate, the Missouri Department of Conservation, and Missouri Department of Natural Resources. A Governor's Proclamation in February 1989 inaugurated the STREAM TEAM program (Lee and Ely 1990). Some STREAM TEAM groups are involved in water quality monitoring. They collect information on water color, odor, and clarity. Other parameters collected are temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, nitrates and ammonia, total dissolved solids (TDS), phosphate, zinc, lead, fecal coliform, and stream flow.
To aid Stream Teams, selected water quality parameters (USGS 1995) for the Meramec River basin at the Paulina Hills, Jefferson County, USGS gage station are compared with Missouri State Water Quality 1995 Standards within designated uses I, II, VI, and VII (Table Wq01). This station is strongly influenced by the urban environment and may not represent average conditions in the basin.
Fish Kills
Stream fish kills in the basin have not been excessive, but two fish kill investigations have been costly to the resource and the responsible party. An improper application of termite pesticide to a building in Steelville caused an estimated $7,355.62 of resource damage in Yadkin and Whittenburg creeks on March 21, 1994 (Duchrow 1995b). Investigations revealed 76,986 fish were destroyed in 3.7 miles of the two streams. In another incident within the basin, a fish kill occurred sometime before August 9, 1995, as reported by an unidentified angler, on a 1,075-foot stretch of Blue Springs Creek Wild Trout Management Area. The fish died from suffocation induced by clogged fish gills from fine sediment, released from a culvert replacement project at the Highway N crossing of Blue Springs Creek. The release of unwashed limestone and fresh concrete raised the pH of the water that injured fish gills, thus contributing to fish deaths. An estimated 2,775 fish were killed, including 65 wild trout (Czarnezki 1995). Enforcement settlement totaled $7,516.38, which included a civil penalty of $5,250.00 (Duchrow 1997).
Contamination Levels
Since the early 1980s, MDC has conducted contaminant surveys on fish and mussels. Few people eat freshwater mussels; however, freshwater mussels are better indicators of heavy metal contamination than fish. At some locations, mussels have as much as 1,000 times more lead than edible tissue fish samples from the same locations. Fish are better indicators than mussels of chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as chlordane. Based on fish sampling and analysis performed by the Missouri Department of Conservation, the Missouri Department of Health issues annual health advisories regarding the safety of eating fish harvested from Missouri streams and impoundments.
From 1980-83, MDC analyzed freshwater mussels for lead and cadmium concentrations, finding low lead levels in the Highway W (Jefferson County) to Steelville portion but high lead levels (below the Big River) at Times Beach. Four of the five sampled sites exceeded FDA action levels for lead. For many years, landowners used chlordane for termite and general insect pest control until it was banned in 1988. This allowed chlordane, a known carcinogen, to enter the river via storm water runoff. Consequently, in the late 1980s, Missouri Department of Conservation researchers found chlordane in fish tissue in the lower 22 miles of the Meramec River (MDC 1995). Because chlordane in fish exceeds Food and Drug Administration (FDA) action levels (see below), consumption of fish is not recommended in the lower 22 miles of the Meramec River.
River conditions have greatly improved since the 1980s. Missouri Department of Conservation personnel found lower levels of chlordane, metals (ppb/l), and PCBs in fish during 1994 (Buchanan 1995). FDA and the World Health Organization (WHO) had identified action levels for chlordane as 300 ppb/l, ITOT (sum of the chlordane isomers) as 100 ppb/l, lead as 300 ppb/l, cadmium as not determined, mercury as 1,000 ppb/l, and PCBs as 1,000 ppb/l. Fish contaminant tests performed in 1994 on spotted bass in Meramec River, Winter Park, St. Louis County identified respectively, 55 ppb/l lead, < 0.6 ppb/l cadmium, and 240 ppb/l mercury. Because of the relatively low statewide mercury levels in predators such as spotted bass, Missouri Department of Conservation biologists ceased predator sampling in 1995. Contaminant tests done at the same location on carp were 103 ppb/l chlordane, 28 ppb/l ITOT, 77 ppb/l lead, 5.5 ppb/l cadmium, 77 ppb/l mercury, and 126 ppb/l PCBs (Buchanan 1995).
In July 2001, the Missouri Department of Health issued a fish consumption advisory that incorporated the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommendation that lowered the action level for methylmercury to 300ppb in fish tissue to protect the health of consumers of noncommercial freshwater fish. The statewide advisory recommends that women who are pregnant, who may become pregnant, nursing mothers, and children 12 years of age or younger should not eat largemouth bass more than 12 inches in length. The Missouri Department of Conservation will be sampling and analyzing black bass as well as other predator species to determine the concentration of methylmercury in their flesh (Low 2001).
Water use refers to water used for any purpose (MDNR 1986). Water withdrawals refer to the straight employment of surface water and groundwater taken from its natural location. According to the MDNR Water Quality Atlas, in the lower Meramec River, municipal and industrial facilities are the highest water consumers. No water withdrawals, as defined by the MDNR Basin Plan (1984), affect the upper Meramec River.
Water withdrawals, as defined by the MDNR (1984), affect the lower Meramec River. Maximum surface water withdrawal rates in two of the three public water supplies could significantly reduce water levels in the lower portions of the Meramec River. The South Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and the Meramec WTP, in St. Louis County, remove an average of 20.63 and 10.39 mgd, respectively . A lesser facility in Kirkwood removes 4.5 mgd (MDNR 1984, 1995a).
Significant point-source water quality problems exist in southern St. Louis County and northern Jefferson County. Sewage treatment plant upgrading, elimination, and consolidation have been a top priority of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Water Pollution Control Program for many years. A number of smaller inefficient treatment facilities were replaced by larger, less-polluting systems. The MDNR and local municipalities have progressed to create sub-regional treatment facilities to discharge directly in the Meramec River (Table Wq02). Within the lower Meramec River, the Northeast Public Sewer District in northern Jefferson County is an area of concern because of numerous small treatment systems and the local geology.
Areas from southern Jefferson to Phelps counties have several permitted discharges that are being managed to eliminate potential problems. Lead mine discharges in this area have the potential to affect receiving streams. The discharge from Viburnum Lead Mines No. 28, 29 and 35 has heavy metals and nutrients that may cause algae blooms. In addition, the AMAX Lead smelter discharges heavy metals. These non-municipal permitted discharges have settling ponds or tailings ponds. Management of these areas includes annual dam safety inspections. Latest surveys of these discharges indicate no problems with elevated levels of heavy metals (MDNR 1984, 1995a).
Seventy-five wastewater discharge facilities from the Lower Middle Meramec Watershed to the Upper Meramec River Watershed discharge from 0.1 to 10 million gallons of water per day. Grand Glaize and Fenton STP discharge directly or into a tributary to the Meramec, and water quality is good in this area (MDNR 1995a). Several wastewater facilities in the upper basin have the potential to affect water quality during low flow periods (Table Hc02, Habitat Conditions Chapter). Steelville STP has a large discharge to Whittenburg Creek, affecting 0.1 miles of losing stream. These potential impacts can vary depending upon the extent of the facility malfunction and flow conditions. Low flow surveys were conducted in 1994 and planned for 1999 (MDNR 1995a).
Concentrated Animal Feedlots
As a result of the May 15, 1996, Missouri Clean Water Commission public meeting, amendments have been made to the Missouri Water Quality State Code that impact concentrated feedlot operations larger than 1,000 animal units (MDNR 1996). Sensitive areas as defined by the MDNR--watersheds of outstanding state water resources (Table E of 1996 Missouri Water Quality Standards) and watersheds of public drinking water (Table G of 1996 Missouri Water Quality Standards)--are excluded from permit consideration. Presently, only two poultry operations with nearly 30,000 animal units are found within the Meramec River basin.
Non-point source pollution comes from many sources in the Meramec River basin. Chlordane leaches into storm water runoff in urban areas. In addition, waste oil can cause elevated levels of dioxin in fish. Within the last 40-50 years, particularly following the construction of Interstate 44, an increasing amount of impervious surfaces has allowed more household and automobile wastes to wash into the river. Areas from southern Jefferson to Phelps counties are wooded and sparsely populated, thus non-point source pollution is small and considered as no effect. The Courtois and Huzzah watersheds in the upper end of the Meramec Basin have lead mines with tailings ponds that the MDNR monitors as point sources, having the potential to become non-point sources (Table Wq03). Numerous active gravel mining sites throughout the basin contribute to the accelerated transport of sediments. In Franklin County, Meramec Aggregates affects 0.2 miles of the Meramec River, while in Jefferson County, the Winter Bros. Sand and Gravel dredge in the floodplain of the river.
Significant non-point source water quality challenges exist in southern St. Louis and northern Jefferson counties (MDNR 1984, 1995a). Runoff from construction of roads, homes and businesses, and parking lots continue to affect stream habitats (MDNR 1995a). In addition, releases of toxic chemicals from landfills affect water supplies and fish. To compound the problem, losing streams in northern Jefferson County have affected groundwater. For example, tetra- and trichloroethylene (TCE), known carcinogens, already have contaminated the Meramec River alluvial aquifer at Valley Park and Kirkwood. The source is a dump at 3rd Street and Benton Street in Valley Park (MDNR 1995a).
Several other sites in St. Louis and Jefferson counties have dioxin-contaminated soils (Table Wq04). Times Beach is Missouri's most well known dioxin site. The area became contaminated in 1971 when dioxin-contaminated oil was sprayed on the streets to control dust. In 1983, the federal government bought the land that is now owned by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released a study in 1986 that recommended thermal treatment to destroy the dioxin. Subsequently, the MDNR began water monitoring in the Meramec River and soil sampling around Times Beach. They also installed wells to monitor the groundwater. Demolition of abandoned buildings took place after checking them for hazardous wastes. In October 1994, remediation of the contaminated streets was completed. In September 1995, an incinerator was constructed on site (Silver 1995). After EPA, MDNR, and health agencies reviewed results from the trial burn, the production burn began in February 1996 and was completed a year later.

This 44 second movie clip shows Columbia postflight activity on runway at Edwards Air Force Base.
During 1977 the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California, hosted the Approach and Landing Tests for the space shuttle prototype Enterprise. Since the shuttles would land initially on Rogers Dry Lakebed adjacent to Dryden on Edwards Air Force Base, NASA had already modified a Boeing 747 to carry them back to their launch site at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Computer calculations and simulations had predicted the mated shuttle and 747 could fly together safely, but NASA wanted to verify that prediction in a controlled flight-test environment before the shuttles went into operation. The agency also wanted to glide test the orbiter to ensure it could land safely before sending it into space with human beings aboard.
NASA's Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, developed a three-phase test program. First, an unpiloted-captive phase tested the shuttle/747 combination without a crew on the Enterprise in case of a problem that required jettisoning the prototype. There were three taxi tests and five flight tests without a crew in the shuttle. That phase ended on March 2, 1977. The second or captive-active phase-completed on July 26, 1977, flew the orbiter mated to the 747 with a two-person crew inside. Finally there were five flights-completed on October 26, 1977, in which the orbiter separated from the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA, as the 747 was designated) and landed.
Beginning on August 12, 1977, the first four landings took place uneventfully on lakebed runways, but the fifth occurred on the concrete, 15,000-foot runway at Edwards. For the first three flights, a tail cone was placed around the dummy main engines to reduce buffeting. The tail-cone fairing was removed for the last two flights.

Gibbs is just stupid .... also threw away a lot of talent this way .....
But Pietersen is just a bagload of $@#% . Any union/club/confederation with a bit more spine would have given him the boot long time ago.
So Pietersen it is.

Pietersen really is an uberdouche, but at least he's not (or never tried to be) actively bent.
So Gibbs it is.

Beware the evils of Kit-Kats - they're immoral apparently.
Pietersen is easily the most likeable character among the 3 IMO.
My vote goes for Herschelle Gibbs because Tony Greig at least loved the game of cricket.

Going for KP, so much potential for further improvement as well

I don't care that he's just died, couldn't stand him.
