A Publication by the Federal Geographich Data Committee November 1996
A New Strategy for the NSDI
Responding to rapid changes in institutions and technology in the geospatial data community, the Federal Geographic Data Committee is leading the revision of the 1994 Strategic Plan for the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). The revision process will involve a broad range of individuals and organizations throughout the nation. To date, the plan has been reviewed by a number of professional organizations, and has been available for comment on the FGDC home page. An open meeting to finalize goals and objectives is scheduled for Chicago, November 7 and 8. The final strategy document that emerges from this meeting will be posted to the FGDC home page and can also be requested in paper form from the FGDC.
The strategy will provide the foundation for the further growth of the NSDI as various communities of interest from Federal, State, local governments, academia, and the private sector craft implementation plans to support the strategy that meet needs within their own communities. All interested parties are invited to participate in this ongoing dialog.

National Digital Geospatial Data Framework Initiative
The Framework Demonstration Projects Program: 1996 Award Announcements...
The Framework Demonstration Projects Program (FDPP) supports cooperative projects that test the means by which the geospatial data community can work together to build and maintain the data framework for the NSDI. These projects will test the institutions and technology needed for framework operations, and demonstrate the sustained ability to supply data over a geographic area from locally available data sources. FDPP projects will provide guidance on policies and practices for establishing other operational framework sites, act as examples of applied framework for other implementers, and provide a springboard for future research and development.
The following were awarded a total of approximately $800,000:
- A Statewide Framework of Public Lands Data Using Locally Derived Cadastres, North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis
Creating a Federally Compliant State and Local Delivery System for High Resolution Framework Data, Earth Data Analysis Center - University of New Mexico
Assessing the Framework Model Within a Collaborative Multi-Jurisdictional Local, Regional, and State Setting, Minnesota Office of Strategic and Long Range Planning
Utah Cadastral Integration Project, Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center
Vermont Spatial Data Partnership Project, Vermont Center for Geographic Information, Inc.

For additional information describing the FDPP projects and contact information see the Framework home page or contact the FGDC Secretariat.
Community Expertise Hones Framework Concept
The community-based approach to develop and maintain commonly-needed data described in the FGDC report "Development of a National Geospatial Data Framework" appeals to many public and private organizations. They see it as a way to share resources, improve communications, and increase efficiency. Many are developing framework-like activities in their geographic areas. In 1996, more than 40 individuals from local, regional, State, and Federal government agencies and the vendor community met to pool experiences from their projects, to critique the framework concept, and to identify steps needed to move forward. The group: characterized the functions needed in framework activities: data production, data management, data distribution, resource management, clearinghouse participation, coordination, policy development, and working with users. Identified approaches to organize these activities:
- the most common approaches include efforts organized by State GIS councils, by consortia of agencies in a region, and on a project basis.
listed techniques needed to implement the framework concept fully and identified shortcomings in current technology: includes data generalization, geographic data transactions, integration of data developed by different organizations, data certification, and permanent geographic feature identifiers.
constructed a business planning template for framework projects.
developed and tested a way to identify the information content proposed for the framework. The approach uses data modeling techniques to identify data that are common to many applications and organizations.
identified incentives needed for the framework.
The four-meeting series was sponsored by the FGDC. Additional information developed at the meetings is available through the FGDC home page at http://www.fgdc.gov/Fram/index.html. Organizations pursuing framework projects will find the information to be a very valuable resource. The FGDC uses the material in the framework handbook, and for planning its 1997 activities.
NSGIC, FGDC Agree to Survey Framework Data Development
In September, the National States Geographic Information Council (NSGIC) and the FGDC entered into an 18-month cooperative agreement to develop and maintain information about the status of data that can contribute to the framework for the NSDI. The first phase will provide an initial "snapshot" of data available nationally at all levels of government. Phase two will develop guidelines for implementing and maintaining ongoing inventories of data, and provide a means to report this information through the National Geospatial Data Clearinghouse.
"The results of this effort will provide important tools for measuring progress of the NSDI," states Hank Garie, NSGIC president and principal investigator for the project. "All levels of government will benefit if tools are available to help organizations keep an accurate inventory of their framework data. This study brings together the collective resources of states, local governments, and the FGDC to measure progress in ways that will ultimately empower those collecting spatial data at the grass roots."
The project will be guided by a project management team led by Karen Siderelis, Director of the North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis. For more information about the project, contact the Center (by telephone at (919) 733-2090 or through the Internet at firstname.lastname@example.com) or NSGIC (by telephone at (603) 643-1600, through the Internet at email@example.com, or through the NSGIC home page at: http://www.geo.drake.edu/ nsgic/index.html).
Status of the NSDI Data Clearinghouse
Clearinghouse Software... The National Geospatial Data Clearinghouse is designed to promote the availability of digital spatial data on the Internet through use of relevant technical standards. In 1995, a prototype Clearinghouse was initiated that used the 1988 version of the Z39.50 Search and Retrieve protocol. Eleven sites in federal, state, and university settings created searchable nodes using this configuration as a proof-of-concept. These sites can be visited through a multi-server query form at: http://nsdi.usgs.gov/public/fgdcquery.html.
The Z39.50 standard, like most information technology standards, has been revised since 1988 to support new features. Versions 2 and 3 take a fundamentally different approach than Version 1 -- away from indexed full-text and towards support of registered fields and operators. The newer versions readily allow information to be stored in complex ways, including traditional databases.
Given the obsolescence of the 1988 Version of the Z39.50 standard and an interest in harmonizing and sharing data elements with the Government Information Locator Service (GILS), the Clearinghouse is beginning its transition from the prototype to include features present in Version 2 of Z39.50. To make this process easier, the FGDC and cooperating agencies have funded the Center for Networked Information Discovery and Retrieval (CNIDR) to enhance their public distribution of the Isite suite of Z39.50 server and indexer software.
This enhancement will accommodate the complex data types in the FGDC Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata. Users will be able to query on all the fields listed in the Metadata Standard as opposed to the few fields supported in freeWAIS-sf, based on the 1988 versions of Z39.50. The Isite software has been alpha tested by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in prototyping service of digital orthophotos, the State of North Carolina in configuring central and distributed Clearinghouse nodes, and the USGS in demonstrating a searchable service for Everglades scientific data in the South Florida Ecosystem.
CNIDR and the Naval Research Lab are also collaborating in the creation of the gateway server that can support true parallel search of multiple on-line servers, as opposed to the serial search provided by the fwais.pl interface used in the prototype. A Java query interface is ready to provide multiple methods for discovering spatial data. An HTML interface is also available with similar, but necessarily limited, capabilities. The availability of the gateway service and the Java and HTML interfaces will be announced.
A step-by-step, clickable tutorial interface has been built in two versions to assist those interested in setting up a Clearinghouse Node. Both are intended for self-paced creation of an NSDI Clearinghouse Node. These tutorials are available from the FGDC Clearinghouse Home Page. Isite and mp tool software will be downloadable through this interface as compiled binaries for various platforms arebuilt.
Encoding Guideline for Geospatial Metadata...
At the request of the FGDC Coordination Group, a formal guideline is being drafted to specify an encoding guideline for geospatial metadata for use within the FGDC activities. The lack of exchange, presentation, or data model guidance in the existing standard makes the exchange and search of structured geospatial metadata difficult. The guideline will be used primarily for the Clearinghouse. It will specify the formal rules for encoding FGDC metadata to assure maximum interoperability. An encoding guideline does not specify how the data are internally managed but specifies how it should be structured for exchange with other applications including metadata collection tools and Clearinghouse. The document is available through the Clearinghouse home page at: http://www.fgdc.gov/clearinghouse/docs/encoding.html.
Bathymetric Data Workshop for San Francisco Bay
The FGDC Subcommittee for Bathymetric Data and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission are co-sponsoring a 1-day workshop on December 6th in the San Francisco Bay area to discuss with Federal, state, and local representatives the development of a "definitive" bathymetric data base to share among the various data users and producers in the area. The focus will be on issues relating to data quality, data fusion, data base maintenance, data distribution, and potential products from the data base. Discussion of concepts currently being developed through FGDC framework pilot projects and workshops is also planned. Those agencies or individuals interested in participating at the San Francisco workshop should contact either the Bathymetric Subcommittee Secretary (see below) or Capt. Thomas Richards (E-mail: email@example.com).
Workshop organizers are especially interested in involving representatives from Federal agencies (e.g., COE, USGS, USCG, EPA) who have local offices and are actively involved in data collection in the Bay area. For additional information on subcommittee activities, please visit the Bathymetric Subcommittee Home Page at: http://wave.nos.noaa.gov/ocs/ text/bathy.html
Standards Working Group
The past several months have been busy ones for the FGDC Standards Working Group (SWG). Seven FGDC standards have been submitted to the SWG for review prior to their release for public comment. In the coming months, watch for the announcement for the public comment period for these standards in the Federal Register, on the Standards Working Group home page, and the home page of the sponsoring subcommittee or working group:
- Soils Geographic Data Standard, Soils Subcommittee
Standard for Digital Orthoimagery, Subcommittee on Base Cartographic Data
Standard for Digital Elevation Data, Subcommittee on Base Cartographic Data
Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standard: Part 1 Introduction, Federal Geodetic Control Subcommittee
Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standard: Part 2 Standard for Geodetic Networks, Federal Geodetic Control Subcommittee
Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standard: Part 3 National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy, Subcommittee on Base Cartographic Data
SDTS Point Profile, Federal Geodetic Control Subcommittee
The SWG is also in the process of finalizing its recommendations to the Coordination Group on the readiness for final endorsement of the following two standards:
- Classification of Wetlands and Deep Water Habitats, Wetlands Subcommittee
Cadastral Data Content Standard, Subcommittee on Cadastral Data
Additionally, five proposals have been approved by the SWG for the development of FGDC standards. They are:
- Facility ID Standard, Facilities Working Group
CADD Profile to SDTS, Facilities Working Group
Utilities Geospatial Data Content Standard, Facilities Working Group
Address Content Standard, Subcommittee on Cultural and Demographic Data
Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata: Thematic Supplement for Geospatially Referenced Cultural and Demographic Data Metadata, Subcommittee on Cultural and Demographic Data
Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standard, Geodetic Subcommittee
The U.S. Corp of Engineers has completed phase one of their effort to build an integrated feature registry and demonstrated the prototype at the October meetings of the SWG and the Coordination Group. In this "proof of concept phase" the Corp translated content standards for wetlands, base cartographic data, and vegetation into a common data model, the entity attribute model of SDTS. A search capability and user interface was also designed for this database and the Corps will make recommendations for full implementation of the features registry. The goal of this project is full integration among all themes of data
For more information on Standards Working Group activities and for the status of FGDC standards, visit the FGDC home page.
The Future of the Metadata Standard
The revision of the Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata will begin soon. This revision will address the experiences of metadata implementers throughout the country. The MITRE Corporation is assisting the FGDC in this revision effort, which will be conducted almost entirely on the Internet using web pages, discussion lists, and hypermail. Some of the goals of this revision effort are to maintain compatibility with previous metadata implementations, and to achieve compatibility with the emerging international metadata standard.
Anyone with an interest in metadata or the Standard is encouraged to participate in this revision effort. Information and instructions will be available on the FGDC home page. A preliminary document with comments and suggestions collected during the past several months is being prepared and will serve as a first list of discussion points for the Standard revision effort. If you would like to contribute to this initial document, please e-mail your suggestions to the address below as soon as possible. The revised standard will be presented through the Standards Working Group for final approval by the FGDC.
The results of the MITRE Corporation's 1995-6 contract with the FGDC to survey metadata implementors and collect information on metadata tools and searchable sets is also available on the FGDC home page.

National Wetlands Inventory Commended in Minnesota
Minnesota Governor Arne Carlson recently presented the National Wetlands Inventory of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with a Certificate of Commendation in recognition of the NWI's achievements in developing and distributing Minnesota's portion of the digital National Wetlands Inventory. Governor Carlson recognized the NWI's pioneering approach to data access through the Internet that has provided Minnesotans with an exceptionally valuable, cost-effective and readily-available source of digital data. NWI data are particularly useful in land use planning efforts to balance environmental and economic concerns with the wise use of natural resources.
The NWI is a significant building block in the development of NSDI and supports the principles of data sharing partnerships and the use of common standards vital to NSDI development. The governor stated that the Fish and Wildlife Service's insight in anticipating the need for this kind of information and the strong state and local partnerships with such groups as the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources produced a product that provides broad benefits to both the public and private sectors of Minnesota.
Digital wetland data is available for about 30% of the United States. Approximately 180,000 files have been downloaded through the Internet in the past 2 years the NWI site. The National Wetlands Inventory may be accessed through Internet address at: http://www.nwi.fws.gov

MADISON, Wis. - With the regular season now over, the Wisconsin football team awaits an invitation to its bowl game after finishing its schedule 7-5. Before the season started, the Badgers were predicted by many to finish within the top three of Big Ten teams, instead, UW finished in a tie for sixth place with rival Minnesota. Today, BadgerBlitz.com recaps the season from start to finish:With the loss to Tennessee in the Outback Bowl not sitting well with the returning Badger players, UW kicked off the season against Akron from the Mid-American conference. Senior quarterback Allan Evridge finally took over the reigns as Wisconsin's signal caller after a roundabout process that led him from Kansas State to Madison. In the game, Evridge did not have a great passing performance, he finished 7-of-10 for 75 yards with a touchdown and an interception, mostly because the Badger rushing attack was dominant. In total, P.J. Hill finished with 210 yards rushing and John Clay and Zach Brown helped the team rack up more than 400 yards on the ground in the 38-17 win. "We presented a unique problem for them," Bielema said following the season opener. "There aren't people in their conference that do what we do. I'm sure it was a difficult preparation for them."In week two, the Marshall Thundering Herd came to town and put a small scare into the Badgers, and the UW fans. But still, after falling behind 14-0 in the early stages of the game, Evridge's 308 passing yards helped UW rattle off 51 unanswered points for the 51-14 drubbing of Marshall. "To walk off that field scoring 51-straight points without giving up any makes you want to pack our bags and head to Fresno and keep playing," Bielema said. "I really like the energy that they showed throughout the rest of the game."The Badgers took to the Valley riding two dominant performances in its first two wins and hoped to continue its momentum at No. 21 (at the time) Fresno State. In the southern California heat, the Badgers snuck past a very physical and tough Bulldog team after FSU's three missed field goal attempts. Nonetheless, the Badgers were heading into conference play with a perfect record and a bye week to get prepared for Michigan. With the coaching change in Ann Arbor, many knew 2008 had the potential of being a down year for Big Blue. Heading into the game, UW had a terrible historical record in the "Big House," having not won there since 1994. In the first half of the conference opener, it seemed the No. 9 Badgers would coast to an easy win as it held a 19-0 halftime lead. But when the teams came out for the second half, the game, and in turn, the season completely got away from Bielema and his team. The same Wolverine squad that would go on to lose a school record nine games, scored 27 unanswered points and pulled one of the biggest upsets of the college football season and held on to win 27-25. "In my three years of being here, we've only had to endure a loss six times," Bielema said at his weekly press conference two days after the shocking loss to Michigan. "This is the sixth time, it's not easy, it's nothing that I ever want to get used to, it's a very painful experience, but it's something that you have to endure."Unfortunately for UW, it would have to endure the early-season Big Ten gauntlet, playing at Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State and at Iowa in successive weeks. As damning as the loss to Michigan way, UW had a chance to rebound and correct its season with a win against the Buckeyes. In fact, after a Hill touchdown run with six and a half minutes to play put the Badgers up, it seemed Wisconsin would get back on the winning track. Instead, a very composed Terrelle Pryor led a 12 play, 80-yard touchdown drive that gave OSU the lead with just over a minute left. While UW had a chance, Evridge's interception on the first play of the drive finished UW's hopes of a win and sent its Big Ten title hopes into a 0-2 hole. "I could come out and say,'Yeah, I am satisfied with how we played,' but we lost and that is what it comes down to," senior tight end Travis Beckum said following the loss. "When deciding my goals and wanting to win Big Ten championships but then losing ball games, it's kind of taking that faith away."It did not come as a surprise that the Badgers struggled the following week. First, UW was playing an undefeated and very talented Penn State squad and second, it had suffered back-to-back heartbreaking losses. Still, the Nittany Lions came into Camp Randall and pasted the Badgers 48-7. During the loss, Evridge played the last snap of the season to date when he was pulled in the third quarter and was replaced by Dustin Sherer. The Sherer era officially began the following week when UW traveled to Iowa to play the Hawkeyes. Riding a three-game losing streak and conference title aspirations out of the window, the UW coaching staff decided the time was right to develop the junior Sherer against a physical Iowa defense. In his first career start, Sherer finished 17-of-34 with 161 yards and two interceptions and proved no match for Iowa's star running back Shonn Greene. Greene rushed for 217 yards and scored four touchdowns in the Hawkeye's 38-16 rout of UW.In had been 12 years since the Badgers had lost four-straight games, but the 2008 version of UW football had already notched that stigma when it headed back to Madison to play Illinois. Much like UW, the Illini had been through its share of ups and downs and were in need of a win. However, even after losing Beckum to a broken leg, the Badgers held on for its first win since defeating Fresno State."It was just a fun game," Jay Valai said. "Going around and smacking people, you can't ask for anything better than that."It was not nearly as much fun the following week at Michigan State as the team's nightmares in the state of Michigan continued. With just over nine minutes to play, the Badgers held an 11-point lead and looked to be on its way to defeating a very good Spartan team. Instead, MSU stormed back and capitalized on late UW penalties, including a 15-yarder from Bielema, to set up kicker Brett Swenson's 44-yard game winning field goal to send the Badgers back to Wisconsin with another last-second loss. "Anybody that would question whether we have anything to play for anymore," senior defensive tackle Mike Newkirk said after the loss. "It's something that they don't understand what it is to be a player."Sitting at 4-5 and its post-season eligibility on the line, the Badgers had to go into Indiana and beat the lowly Hoosiers. And that is exactly what it did. UW rattled off 55 points, including 31 in the second half to crush IU 55-20. In the game, David Gilreath (168), Hill (126) and Clay (112) all passed the 100-yard mark on the ground. After playing back-to-back road games, the Badgers had two home games to round off the schedule and needed to win at least one to make itself bowl eligible. After trailing 21-7 at the break, UW stormed back in the second half and retained the axe for at least one more year by defeating the Gophers 35-32. "The axe means a lot to everybody here," center John Moffitt said after the emotional win. "Coming up, as you get older from your freshman year to your senior year, it just becomes more and more important. So to the seniors it just probably means the most."Finally, with a 3-5-conference mark in tact, the Badgers hoped to boost its bowl standing with a season ending win against Cal-Poly. To many of the announced 80,000 plus in attendance (although it looked to be a much smaller crowd), the Mustangs gave UW all it could handle. The Badgers snuck past Cal-Poly in overtime after the Mustangs missed its third extra point of the game 36-35. "It is fun, it's something that you really embrace," Newkirk said following the win in regards to the final two, nail biting wins. "A lot of people get on the edge of their seats and some people may not like it, but they're games that really bring out the best in yourself. They test you and I like to be tested." ...More...

Elmwood Park, NJ—After an investigation that began in 2009, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has come down hard on some defendants that made weight-loss claims for the herb, hoodia. FTC claims the group claimed its ingredient could treat obesity (an unsubstantiated health claim), suppress appetite, reduce caloric intake and more; the ingredient didn't always contain authentic Hoodia gordonii.
Washington, D.C.—In a letter to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), U.S. Senator and Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin (D-IL) urged inquiry into whether the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is effectively implementing dietary supplement safety legislation passed in 2006.
Brattleboro, VT—More American families than ever before are adding organic products to their weekly shopping lists, says the Organic Trade Association (OTA). In the 2011 U.S. Families' Organic Attitudes and Beliefs Study by the OTA, 1,300 families were polled about their feelings and buying habits when it comes to organic products. Four in 10 families said they are buying more organic foods than they were in the year prior. Of these families who have made the switch, three in 10 are brand new to the market.

Doha, Qatar—An estimated 300 million people across the globe are suffering with asthma. Of those diagnosed, almost seven million are American children, according to The American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology.
Oslo, Norway—Studies have shown that the intake of recommended doses of folic acid (a naturally occurring B-vitamin) from the period before conception to early pregnancy can prevent neural tube birth defects. Now, Christine Roth, M.Sc., Clin.Psy.D., from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, Oslo has led a study (published October 12, 2011 by JAMA) that investigated whether maternal use of folic acid supplements was associated with a reduced risk of severe language delay in children at age three years.
In this month's issue, you'll find WholeFoods' 34th Annual Retailer Survey. There's lots of good news to report. Smaller stores, those under 2,600 square feet, which have struggled the last few years, showed signs of strength, reporting higher sales, profits and larger basket sizes. Overall, two main trends emerged from the survey.
Two recently published studies that pointed to adverse results with the consumption of dietary supplements have raised questions and concern among industry leaders. While one study indicates an association between dietary supplement intake and increased mortality risk, the other suggests that supplementation with vitamin E significantly increased the risk of prostate cancer among healthy men. Many experts believe otherwise. Here are some insights that bring the shortcomings of these studies into the limelight.

The Power of Independent Thinking
The Supreme Court and the Battle for Second Amendment Rights
Recorded: Thursday, July 22, 2010
In June 2008 the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a landmark ruling on the Second Amendment individual right to keep and bear arms with its Heller v. District of Columbia decision. Two years later, in June 2010, a second historic decision squeezed through the highest court in the land.

Is it possible that the U.S. governments response to the 9/11 attacks has served al-Qaeda interests? Despite the hype, U.S. law-enforcement officials have found little evidence of serious terrorist activities inside the country, compelling them to escalate their use of prosecution and entrapment to justify their enormous budgets.

Recorded: Thursday, February 16, 2006
The recent elections in Iraq have not resolved the main problems therea constitutional crisis, continued terrorism, a potent Sunni rebellion, and fighting between religious and ethnic groups that could result in a full-blown civil war. Is the Iraq war a hopeless quagmire that has been lost, or can the U.S. still foster a united, peaceful and prosperous Iraq?

WASHINGTON (USA TODAY) -- The U.S. House is on track to approve a two-year bipartisan budget framework Thursday that will eliminate the threat of a government shutdown during that time and modestly reduce the deficit over the next decade.
The deal, crafted by House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Senate Budget Chairwoman Patty Murray, D-Wash., sets top-line federal spending figures and partially alleviates unpopular spending cuts known as the sequester.
The legislation is expected to pass with both GOP and Democratic support, although neither side is enthusiastic about the scope of the deal. "We fought it to a draw," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. She said the deal would allow Congress to move on and debate other issues beyond the fiscal disagreements that have defined the previous three years.
"Let's get to it. Let's get her off the table. Let's move on to addressing specific issues," she said.
House Republicans were lining up behind Ryan, despite ongoing opposition from outside conservative groups and GOP senators. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, denounced the efforts to derail the deal, accusing groups such as Heritage Action, FreedomWorks and the Club for Growth of "misleading their followers."
"Frankly, I just think that they've lost all credibility," Boehner told reporters.
His comments ratcheted up an ongoing rhetorical fight between the groups and congressional Republicans. FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe responded: "When it comes to 'credibility,' actions speak louder than words. And right now, it looks like the Speaker is leading the charge for spending increases and recruiting Democrat votes in the House to help get it done."
A vote on the package is expected next week in the Senate, but Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., cautioned Thursday that Democrats will need at least five Republicans to support the package to ensure they can overcome a filibuster threat. So far, GOP senators who have publicly stated their position are opposed, including Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Ted Cruz of Texas, Mike Lee of Utah, and the top Republican on the Budget Committee, Jeff Sessions of Alabama.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has not said how he intends to vote.

DENVER - Trader Joe's opened three of its five Colorado locations Friday.
The California-based chain opened a store at East Eighth Avenue and Colorado Boulevard in Denver, a location at 5901 S. University Blvd. in Greenwood Village and a Boulder store at the Twenty-Ninth Street Mall.
Lines were long at the Denver location Friday morning - the only store in the state that will be licensed to sell "Two-Buck-Chuck" and other spirits, including beer.
Two additional stores are in the works, one in Fort Collins and one at East Seventh Avenue and Logan Street.
The store sells some 4,000 other grocery and fresh food items. The company has more than 400 outlets in 40 states and an estimated $8 billion in sales.
Dennis Huspeni, of the Denver Business Journal, says this may be just the beginning of an even larger expansion into the Front Range grocery market.
"They will look at a market, and they will study it," Huspeni said. "Then, they will open a couple of stores like they are doing now. They will look at the all the zip codes from the shoppers that are coming there to make sure that they're not getting people from too far away. If they start seeing that, they may look at other stores to open."
Dozens of workers were racing to make the Friday opening at the Greenwood Village store. Outside, they were still building an entryway and working on unfinished concrete. Inside, the aisles are jammed with new hires stocking shelves.
Among the first thing you will notice is all the employees wear Hawaiian shirts. They answer to a ship's bell at the front desk that calls them as needed with a series of coded rings.
There are no intercoms or public address systems. It all has something of a nautical feel. The store's manager, Dan Guajardo, is referred to as the "store captain."
"A strong part of our Trader Joe's culture is that we're traders on the culinary seas," Guajardo said. "It's part of our business model. We're constantly striving to make sure that every customer has a fun experience, but also a knowledgeable crew that can help them make informed buying choices."
Guajardo is hoping that you'll sail in and discover, among other things, their tasting station. This goes on all day, with samples changing from a breakfast theme in the morning to lunch and dinner concepts as the shopping day goes on.
Eighty percent of the products at Trader Joe's are products that carry the store's brand name, including the chicken, the beef and the sausage and cheeses.
Guajardo says self branding makes their products very affordable.
"By branding under out private label, we're essentially dealing directly with manufacturers in most cases. We're able to cut out that middle man," Guajardo said.
Huspeni agrees.
"That's where a lot of their success has come, offering products similar to what Whole Foods and Sprouts offers, but at a discount," Huspeni said.
You will find unusual frozen foods and organic and vegetarian selections, all right next to the staples such as dairy, bread and coffee.
A wide array, but a selection dwarfed by the traditional grocery which carries some 54,000 products.
"If you're going grocery shopping you may not be able to find 100 percent of what you need at a Trader Joe's," Huspeni said. "I think part of their business model in offering so few products is that they've taken a lot of the brain-drain out of it."
"You know what you like at Trader Joe's. You get used to your favorite products. You know they're going to be there and you go and get them," he added.
No matter what your shopping habits, Trader Joes is betting you'll be able to find just enough at such low prices that you'll keep coming back.

Check with your school if you are unsure if they have an agreement. You must submit a signed statement on letterhead or email from the Director or Assistant Director of Student Accounts or Financial Aid indicating the amount of surplus financial aid (if any) that will be available to cover costs that your school is not paying on your behalf, the approximate date of disbursement of those funds, and the person or institution to which the funds will be disbursed. If you have any questions about this, please contact Karen Sprague (below). Emails should come directly from your school official, addressed to firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Letter of Financial Responsibility must be completed by the party responsible for financial matters. This form acts as a guarantee that your full account will be settled with SIT Study Abroad, including any debt incurred while abroad.

From OrthodoxWiki
- Come, O faithful, let us work zealously for the Master,
For He distributes wealth to His servants.
Let each of us according to his ability increase his talent of grace:
Let one be adorned in wisdom through good works; let another celebrate a service in splendor.
The one distributes his wealth to the poor; the other communicates the word to those untaught.
Thus we shall increase what has been entrusted to us, and, as faithful stewards of grace,
We shall be accounted worthy of the Master's joy.
Make us worthy of this, O Christ our God, in Thy love for mankind.

With Team Rocket's latest plot averted to take over the Unova Region, and returning to Kanto for good, Ash and co. can focus on the Unova League in Vertress City since the invasion of Team Rocket is over as they leave Cynthia's vacation home in Undella Town behind. But before that, he, Iris and Cilan have to battle those three snooty girls who called themselves the "Flower Garden Troop". Their names are Moira, Mona, and Sher (who had their Cinccino, Lilligant, and Roserade) and Iris wanted to battle them to get her revenge after Moira called all of their pokemons unattractive which enraged her. They've manage to ask the market lady on where their headquarter is, and found it but there is one condition: No Boys Allowed, Girls Only. So (for the fourth time) Ash and (For the second time) Cilan have to dress like girls. Can they manage to beat the trio to calm Iris down?
Episode Plot
Team Rockets plans have now been crumbled and now the gang moves on. Cynthia tells Ash and friends that the Unova League will be held in Vertress City. Ash gets super excited about it. Jervis tells them, the best way to get there, is by going through Opelucid City. Iris hates that idea and asks Ash if they could go through the Village of Dragons? Ash agrees. They leave the Villa to head for Vertress City. While Ash and friends are walking, Ash decides to take a break. Cilan decides that they should have lucnch. They sent out all their Pokemon to eat lunch. Oshawott being greedy, eats all of Pignite's food. Pignite then uses flamethrower on Oshawott and they both began to fight. Ash and Pikachu try to separate them. Oshawott then uses Hydro Pump on Pignite, but misses and hits Emolga. Emolga is hit into a Cliff and is knocked out. Ash then demands that Pignite and Oshawott say that they are sorry.
Three girls then appear at the top of the cliff and say that Iris's Emolga is unattractive. Iris gets mad at her. The girl tells them that her name is Moira and her Pokemon Cinccino is the most beautiful in Unova. The girl Mona says her Pokemon Lilligant is the second most beautiful. The last girl Sher says her Roserade is the third most beautiful. Moira says she took her Pokemon out to get some fresh air, when Iris' unattractive Emolga attacked it. She also says Ash's Snivy is unattractive, as well as their other Pokemon. Iris gets mad and chases after the van they get into. Cilan then asks a woman if shes seen a flower bus go by. She says its the Flower Garden Troops Bus. Cilan doesn't know who they are, so the woman says they are the most famous Theater Troop in Unova. Cilan asks for directions to their Headquarters, but the woman tells them men are not allowed in. Iris wants to get payback. She, Ash and Cilan have to dress up as girls too. As well as their Pokemon. They walk into the Headquarters and say that they are friends of Moira. They look for the girls in the HQ and Mona comes out of a room. She asks about the 3 girls (Ash, Cilan, and Iris). Iris says that she and her friends came to watch The Flower Garden Troop practice. Mona starts to get suspicious about Iris. Moira then says that they are welcome to see them rehearse. She then tells them that their costumes are beautiful and that they are clever. Iris then tells them their names are Iris, Ashley, and Cilanoir. Moira then insists that they at "ette" to the end of their Pokemons names and that their prettier.
They watch as they practice and Moira wants their Pokemon to walk on a balance beam. Moira then opens up a door on the floor which as mud in it. She says that will have a contest to see whos Pokemon is more beautiful. Iris accepts the challenge. Pansage and Roseradette then faceoff against each other. Pansage jumps forward missing Roseradette and going into the mud letting her win. Next its Lilligantette and Emolga. Emolga gets pushed off, but recovers by flying around Lilligantette and pushing it into the mud making Emolga the winner. Cinccino and Snivy now are against each other. Snivy almosts falls in, but jumps on Cinccino at the last second. Cinccino then leaps forward, Snivy grabs her and puts Cinccino into the mud. Cinccino then gets out and isn't affected by it because of its Oily white fur. Iris then gets very upset at that.
Moira then takes them to a battle field. She tells them that they have a special in which if the Pokemon loses, they both Trainer and Pokemon must be covered in mud. Iris and Sher start to battle. Roseradette then uses Poison Sting, Emolga dodges and uses discharge, but Roseradette dodges it. It then uses Bullet Seed and Emolga dodges it and almost falls into the mud, but doesn't. Emolga then uses discharge again hitting Roseradette. Roseradette then uses Bullet Seed and Emolga dodges, but gets hit with Energy Ball and flies away from the mud. Emolga then finishes Roseradette with Hidden Power knocking both Sher and Roseradette into the mud. Pansage and Lilligantette then start to battle. Pansage uses Bullet Seed on Lilligantette, but she dodges. Lilligantette then uses Leech Seed, but misses because Pansage used dig quickly. Pansage come back up out of the hole covered in mud. Cilan, Ash, and Iris then find out that there is mud under the arena. Lilligantette then uses Energy Ball on Pansage knocking Cilan and Pansage into the mud. Iris really wants payback now. Ash and Snivy then want to battle Moira, but Iris steps in saying she wants to battle with Snivy. Iris and Moira start to battle each other. Cinccino then uses Tail Slap on Snivy. Snivy then uses Vine Whip, but misses and Cinccino uses Rock Blast. Snivy dodges the Rock Blasts. Snivy then uses Leaf Storm, but that misses too. Cinccino then uses Hyper Beam and Snivy successful dodges and uses Leaf Storm again, but misses. Cinccino then uses Giga Impact, but Snivy dodges it. Iris then says for Snivy to use Leaf Storm once more, but Cinncino hits it away and uses Tail Slap. Snivy then intercepts it with Vine Whip and then uses Leaf Blade on Cinncino knocking her and Moira into the mud. Cinccino then tries to shake off the mud, but can't Iris tells them that all those Leaf Storm weren't just missing on purpose, but taking off Cinccino's Oil as well. Iris says taking a mud bath would suit them well and laughs.
A woman by the name of Ms. Chandler comes on to the battle field clapping saying it was a wonderful battle. She then asks them if they would like to appear on the Flower Garden Troop stage. They all say that they have to pass on that offer. They all run out of the headquarters and Ms. Chandler asks if they would reconsider. They say no and that they have to go. Ash and his friends return the costumes to the shop and Ash asks if Iris is alright now. She says she is now that she got payback. They all now head to Vertress City. As the journey continues.

Oil Weathering Process
Years after the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill of 1989, Prince William Sound, Alaska continues to be adversely affected. The severity of the damage from a spill and how long the damage lasts is influenced primarily by the chemical changes the oil undergoes during and after the spill. The process by which the spilled oil changes both physically and chemically is referred to as oil weathering and involves a series of sub-processes including spreading and drift, evaporation, natural dispersion, emulsification and biodegradation. These processes are influenced in turn, by factors including composition of the spilled oil, the duration time of weathering, the type of oil being weathered, temperature, and wave action. For example, lighter oils will generally weather differently than heavier oils. However, some light oils contain waxes that make it behave more like a heavy oil resulting in longer weathering processes. Also, oils with a lower specific gravity (lighter oils) will be less persistent than oils with a higher specific gravity (heavier oils).
Oil weathering sub-processes
Spreading and drift
Spreading and drifting of the oil occurs immediately after oil mixes with water and occurs as a result of interacting forces including gravity, wind and surface tension. This process is also directly influenced by the viscosity or fluidity of the oil. The less viscous the oil, the more it will spread and increase the area of water covered by an oil slick. Additionally, underwater tides and currents, the weather and many other factors influence the rate of spreading. Spills have been known to spread hundreds of kilometers in a matter of days due in part to high currents.
Evaporation involves the loss of lower molecular weight, more volatile molecules and can be responsible for the loss of 20 to 50 percent of the spilled oil.[1] For these oils, spreading increases evaporation rates because it increases the surface area of the spill allowing for more evaporation. Additionally rough seas; high wind speeds and warm temperatures can increase evaporation rates.
Natural dispersion
Natural dispersion is the process by which small droplets of oil are formed and integrated into the water column by the energy of breaking waves. These oil droplets may either remain in suspension if they are very small in size, or float back to the water surface if they are fairly large. The large droplets that float back to the water surface may coalesce and form an "oil sheen". Particularly viscous oils disperse more slowly and can persist in the ocean for prolonged periods of time. Dispersion of the oil results in lowering the localized concentration of the oil.
Wave action and wind cause emulsification -- the incorporation of water droplets into the oil. Emulsification changes the viscosity and the thickness of the oil slick and can make the clean up more difficult. Some oils are easier to emulsify than others and one factor that affects emulsification rate is the metal content of the oil. For example, oils with high asphaltene content will promote emulsification. Asphaltenes, complex compounds containing metals such as nickel and vanadium, are the heaviest and most aromatic components found in crude oil. More viscous oils will emulsify at slower rates than less viscous oils. Emulsions become more viscous and stable as more water is incorporated into the oil (70%-80% water).[2] Once the oil is emulsified, it remains in that state and can stay on the sea surface for prolonged periods of time. In some cases, the oil has to be weathered by other processes (such as evaporation) before emulsification. Unlike dispersion or evaporation which reduce the amount or concentration of oil, emulsification is increases the volume of oil, sometimes by as much as four-fold.[2]
When marine microorganisms metabolize oil compounds, it is referred to as biodegradation. As with all of the weathering sub-processes, biodegradation is influenced by oil properties, temperature and, in addition, availability of oxygen and nutrients. Because different microorganisms degrade specific hydrocarbons, multiple species of microorganisms must be involved for biodegradation to occur. Populations of specific microorganisms increase during a spill following the increased availability of nutrients. However, as nutrients and oxygen once again become limiting, populations return to their natural state. Larger and more complex molecules are more difficult to biodegrade.
Because the sub-processes of natural dispersion and emulsification increase the available surface area, they encourage biodegradation. As a result, biodegradation is often the final step in oil weathering and also often responsible for eliminating the last traces of oil.
Amoco Cadiz spill
The Amoco Cadiz oil spill occurred in 1978 off the coast of France spilling 68 million gallons of oil.
The spill quickly began to emulsify, creating what scientists called a "mousse", while an estimated one third of the oil was evaporated.
The remaining oil was absorbed into denser material and pulled vertically down the water column and this material became imbedded in the surrounding beaches and salt marshes.
Once imbedded in sediments, the oil was biodegraded by microbial action.
Exxon Valdez spill
The Exxon Valdez spill of 1989 spilled more than 10.5 million gallons of oil into the Prince William Sound of Alaska, USA. The Prince William Sound (PWS) is an area that experiences "extreme storms, waves and tidal action". These natural actions were instrumental in weathering the spilled oil. Only a few small patches of oil slick remain in PWS and these patches are found mainly in areas with moderate to low wave energy. These areas were also noted to have larger boulders and cobbles. The remaining oil from the spill has mostly been covered by new sediment is slowly leaching into the surrounding environment.

Beauty fads come and go, but it is the ones that continue to crop up that are worth paying particular attention to. Because Glamour Magazine has been following these trends for 70 years, it has a pretty good grasp on what trends to keep on the radar.
Wavy hair graced the heads of stars like Brigitte Bardot in the 1960s and still looks perfectly pretty on today's celebrities such as Jessica Simpson and the Kardashians, making it one trend that is a tried and true favorite.
Certain makeup trends have also proven to be worth your while. Thick, long lashes have almost always been a symbol of beauty, and are easy to get with volumizing mascara. At the same time, "naked" hair and makeup have also long been favorite trends. Makeup artist Linda Cantello told the publication that if there is one look all women want, "it's looking like they aren't wearing makeup. It has timeless appeal," she said. Makeup palettes that don't stray far from what nature gave you often create the prettiest look.
Red lips and pale pink nails also seem to be a time-tested classic, as is the ponytail and the Cali-girl look of tousled blonde locks, the news source reports.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The Georgia Board of Regents has voted to confirm the consolidation of Augusta State University and Georgia Health Sciences University.
The two schools have combined to form Georgia Regents University.
The board recommended the consolidation back in January, approved the mission statement for the "New U" in May and the name GRU in August.
The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges will visit GRU in the fall to make sure the "New U" is following accreditation standards.

Maple Meadow Farm shows a year in the life of the Gregg family on a four hundred acre farm in Mapleton, Maine where three generations of Country folk still work the land and forest using workhorses.
From harrowing to haying, and from plowing in the fields to twitching out logs in the snowy woods, the Greggs rely on a team of six workhorses to complete their tasks. This film shows heritage farming, done by the Greggs, but it also provides a glimpse into the Gregg family life. After workhorse Pat twitches out the logs, Terry Gregg and his son, Matt spend time sawing the logs back at the wood pile, while Miriam Gregg, and her daughter-in-law, Andrea, make zucchini bread in the farmhouse kitchen. Young Clay and his two little sisters pick eggs and tend their thirteen hens. On the last weekend in June, the Greggs invite the whole community to Maple Meadow Farm Festival, held in the grounds and fields of their farm. Folks come from miles around to experience the traditional farming demonstrated at Maple Meadow Farm. Join them for a nostalgic trip into the past.
Maple Meadow Farm was produced by Brenda Nasberg Jepson of Crown of Maine Productions.

- On a less emotional level, they found that cloth bibs were often scattered all over the house - and usually ended up in places where they weren't needed, such as an upstairs bedroom.
- Through the production company, I've written three books, and I have a small line of T-shirts, umbrellas, kids clothes, and bibs.
- The classes involve jogging, sprinting, star-jumps, stomach crunches and push-ups with participants wearing a numbered bib, allowing easy identification should you need to be shouted at.
- One night last December in Beaver Creek, he was hanging out in the village plaza awaiting the announcement of the starting draw and handing out of race bibs for the next day's downhill race.
- The teams - in orange, blue or green bibs - are each a deliberate mixture of first-team regulars, substitutes and fringe players.
- But some of the silk eveningwear was fit for the most glamorous of parties, apron bibs floating across the chest then twisting into straps over the shoulders and asymmetrically across the back before dripping into a train.
- The company has continued to add full and bib apron styles and colors, and it has expanded its line, and introduced a new poplin smock.
- Unique to the garden store is a rugged nylon bib with five mesh pockets suitable for holding and organizing hand tools and seed packets.
- The female is paler and lacks the grey crown, white cheeks, black bib and eye stripe and chestnut brown nape, but has a straw coloured stripe behind the eye.

Late 16th century: probably from bib2.
A bib for a baby is recorded from the late 16th century. It probably came from the old word bib from Latin bibere, meaning 'to drink'. Towards the end of the 17th century adults too were wearing bibs, often as part of an apron. Women could decorate this with a tucker, a piece of lace worn round the top of the bodice—'The countrywoman…minds nothing on Sundays so much as her best bib and tucker' (1747). Soon men, too, were described as wearing their best bib and tucker, their smartest clothes. See also beer
