Why is Euclid the Father of Geometry?
Why is Euclid the Father of Geometry?
This name is probably one of the famous in the field of mathematics because of his contribution in Geometry that's why he was called as the father of Geometry. Euclid is known as the Father of Geometry because of the knowledge he shared and the books he authored.
He was responsible of getting the people understand how flat surface and 3D geometry works. He was known to have studied Mathematics in Athens together with the students of Plato. He was able to arrange geometry such as spheres, cones, and other geometric figures.
Euclid is indeed one of the greatest mathematicians because of his Euclidean geometry. He founded the set of principles using set of axioms that until now is being taught in school. His Euclidean geometry explained 2-D plane and 3-D figures. He popularized the principle that things are flat and can be measured. With the ideas he shared in a series 13 elements†people long time ago appreciated the importance of geometry and found ways on how to interpret important measurement principles on earth.
What made Euclid's works so famous is his effort in making things simpler to understand through the books he wrote. He presented geometry in a logical framework making it easier to use. His books were also an easy reference that's why his learning are still passed on to the next generations.
Aside from his famous Euclidean geometry, he was also responsible for Data which deals with how the given information can be used to answer geometrical problems. His ideas he imparted in Conics also gave enlightenment to conic sections which gives more perspective on curves and cones, also a part of geometry.
Euclid may be a simple man but the great effort he put on his works had changed the viewpoint of people towards mathematics and of the world.
2 Submissions
Euclid [325-2650], known as the father of geometry, is responsible for assembling almost all the world's knowledge of flat-plane (Flat surface geometry) and 3D geometry in one book. His work, together with the work of Pythagoras, forms the basis of all sacred geometry. It is only in the last few centuries that any significant geometry has been added to what Euclid laid down 2,300 years ago. Euclid probably first studied mathematics in Athens with some of Plato's students. He also wrote close to a dozen of other books on topics, such as music, mechanics and optics, but only four actually survive. Optics, contains some of the earliest studies of perspective.
The ancient Greeks using geometry have built the calculations of harmony that go to make up sacred-geometry and it's step-by-step logic is the basis of modern scientific reasoning. The Greeks created ideals of classical beauty, stunning architecture and the logical scientific approach to solving problems. These ideals and knowledge of form and proportion are the foundation of sacred geometry as we know it today. At the heart of Western science, Greek geometers helped to build strong foundations of architecture, astronomy, mechanics, and optics. Euclid "arranged†geometry; and Pythagoras explained the inherent sacredness of numbers.
Euclidean geometry needs only a compass and straightedge. In the 13 books of Elements, it gives most of the geometric knowledge of Euclid's time, containing all we know about plane geometry (Flat surface geometry) and much that we know about spheres, cones, and other 3-d figures.
In [624-546 BC] Thales of Miletus sometimes referred to as the "father of deductive reasoning' was one of the first to bring the science of geometry from Egypt to Greece three centuries before Euclid. Plato [427-347 BC] founded the Academy in 387 BC that flourished until 529 AD. Plato's book Phaedo supported Pythagoras by attempting to prove that numbers and figures are the perfect noumenal forms behind manifested reality. After some time around [417-369 BC] Theaetetus of Athens created the solid geometry of the five Platonic solids and his work fascinated Renaissance writers with proportion and sacred geometry. Eudoxus of Cnidus [408-355 BC] devised methods for determining the area of circles and the volumes of pyramids and cones. His works were about proportion and harmony and become key factors in Greek architecture and sacred geometry. Eudoxus work inspired Book V of Euclid's Elements. This volume is of particular importance to the study of sacred geometry.

Scofflaws who fail to buy a ticket and ride an RTD light-rail train illegally should avoid bad-hair days and be ready to smile for the camera.
That's because when they are caught, they should expect to be photographed.
Regional Transportation District security officers and fare inspectors have been photographing people who are cited — or issued a warning — for fare violations.
The new measure has been ongoing since late 2011, and RTD officials hope the added step will help drive down the number of fare-beaters, especially repeat offenders.
"One of the benefits is that we're able to track, on different levels, the identity of individuals who have received a warning or a citation," said Scott Reed, an RTD spokesman.
RTD security officers have pursued and tracked fare-beaters in the past, but recording and filing information was cumbersome and included using a radio system to communicate between agents in the field and staff in an office.
Now, a new system allows security personnel to keep data on a Motorola hand-held device — known as an Enterprise Digital Assistant — that is a bit larger than a smartphone. The device, which costs about $3,800 with accessories, also takes photos.
"This device dramatically speeds up the fare-checking process," Reed said.
On a sunny Thursday afternoon, Aaron Pratt, a security officer with G4S, patrolled a light-rail line asking for tickets, looking for riders who hadn't paid the fare. In one hour, Pratt wrote and recorded four warnings, taking four photographs in the process.
Kelly Dugan, 22, was among the four. Dugan said she typically rides the bus and doesn't ride light rail.
As Pratt photographed Dugan, he asked her to smile.
"I don't mind — it's OK with me," Dugan said when asked about being photographed.
Michael Romero, 57, of Grand Junction was also issued a warning. The out-of-towner was a bit lost and confused, riding the light rail trying to get to the Pepsi Center to attend the state high school wrestling tournament.
Someone told Romero to take the train "so I wouldn't have to pay for parking" at the Pepsi Center, he said.
Romero said he didn't realize users pay.
"I'm mad," Romero said after the warning and photo. "I didn't know what's going on."
In 2011, RTD asked 1.3 million riders to show proof of a valid fare. About 26,000 warnings on fare violations were handed out, and 6,500 citations were issued. In 2010, about 30,000 warnings and 7,200 citations were issued.
First offenders are issued warnings, Reed said. A repeat violation results in a citation with a $50 fine; a second citation is a $100 fine. The violations are Class 2 petty offenses.
People with multiple citations are banned from RTD property.
Some daily light-rail riders view the photography as Orwellian.
"I guess it seems a little bit like Big Brother," said Jason Morden, a Metropolitan State College of Denver student. "Repeat offenders should be documented, but I think the photo is a little overboard."
Pratt said most people take the photos in stride.
"I usually tell them, 'It's no big deal,' and ask them to smile," Pratt said. "I try to calm people down."

Crash.Net WTCC News
Zanardi admits he's perplexed by 'retirement' talk
30 November 2009
Alex Zanardi has reacted with some surprise to stories circulating that he has hung up his racing helmet following the end of the 2009 FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) campaign – insisting that he is 'still too young and strong' to call it a day just yet.
The popular Italian finished twelfth in the final 2009 WTCC standings, with a clear highlight of victory at Brno in the Czech Republic mid-season – but no further podium finishes throughout, and far too many failures to score at all for his liking.
That allegedly prompted the BMW Team Italy-Spain star to announce his 'retirement' from competition after the Macau finale just over a week ago – but whilst he acknowledges that he is unlikely to be seen in the WTCC again, Zanardi is adamant that he hopes to carry on racing in one form or another.
"Like probably some of you did, I have also read the news of my 'retirement' from the WTCC which has appeared, at various times, on news channels," the 43-year-old – who lost both of his legs in a terrifying CART accident at the Eurospeedway Lausitz in 2001 – wrote on his personal website. "I feel that a more precise explanation is needed, since the perception from the reported news misrepresents, in my opinion, not only my real thoughts but also the way things happened.
"I have been racing in the WTCC since 2005 as part of a prestigious programme organised by BMW Italy and, despite being certain of giving a lot to the series in terms of communication and media exposure due to a popularity that goes beyond what I have achieved as a sportsman, I recognise that I have also had a lot in return from the series and have found in it the ideal ground to win, with hard work, new challenges.
"The extremely high level of competitiveness, the value of the opponents that I challenged, the beauty of the race tracks we battled on and the difficult task of combining all this with my personal problems make my victories in the WTCC some of the best results I achieved in my career.
"This is the reason why I would be happy to keep on racing in a category that for a driver can be rightly considered as an end point and not necessarily a transition point, but probably – nothing is decided yet – strategic choices of BMW Italy will not allow me to do so.
"I answered a precise question from a journalist in Macau that it's 99 per cent [certain] I will not be racing in the WTCC in 2010. This does not mean announcing my retirement at all, but instead giving an honest answer to a precise question that, avoiding rhetoric, implies a bit of regret for what this will involve.
"I do not know what I am going to do next year. What is certain is that I see myself as still too 'young' and strong to hang up my racing helmet. On the contrary, I hope I can find together with BMW the way to keep challenging, even more directly and without excuses, the strongest opponents – even if this will mean risking getting a good beating... I could not ask for anything better!"

Seeing his truck like this... beyond repair... made him sick. Ed Mora tried taking photos of it, but the operator of American Iron & Metal wouldn't let him, demanding he leave.
Ironically, Mora had done nothing wrong.
According to the Colorado State Patrol, Mora's 1990 Dodge Dakota Club Cab Sport was in good condition when it was stolen out of his driveway in Pueblo West. A thief who's now behind bars reportedly drove it to Colorado Springs and sold it to American Iron & Metal for its worth in scrap.
Mora says, "They purchased the stolen vehicle without a title. They took the vehicle, they processed it, they crushed it, and then found out this vehicle was stolen... then reported it."
Court documents back up Mora's story. The problem is recyclers are supposed to wait seven days before scrapping vehicles without proof of ownership. That's according to a state law.
Since the thief didn't have a title and American Iron & Metal reportedly crushed the car too soon... the Colorado State Patrol recommended misdemeanor charges be filed against the company.
It's an issue we tried to pursue.
I asked, "You know consumers get their cars stolen a lot in El Paso County. What rights do we have? Can you just answer me that?" The operator answers back, "Get off the property." I ask again, "I mean this poor guy had his car stolen." The operator answers, "Get off the property."
Mora took his crushed truck to another recycler... Western Scrap Processing Company getting $367 for his mangled mess.
Western Scrap's controller says their operators never crush or scrap cars before the seven day waiting period expires.
Mike Ade adds, "When someone drives in a vehicle in that good of a shape, hands over the keys and wants money, you know... without a title... that right there should put up a red flag."
Since American Iron & Metal refused to talk to us about this case... Mora took the company to Small Claims Court and won a judgement for $1,833. Now, the El Paso County District Attorney's office is taking action, too. I'm told the company's owner, James Warren is scheduled to appear in court for violating the state law in January 2009.
Warren wouldn't talk to us about Mora's truck. He told us to call police, but he did email me these notes saying he always follows Colorado law and works with law enforcement to prevent theft.
Remember... anyone can become a victim of auto theft. The best advice... keep important papers like the car title and recent photos in a safe place that way you can prove its value later, like Mora did.

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
A journalist pays the ultimate price in Syria
Jillian Kestler-D'Amours | 15 Feb 2014 17:19 GMT | Health, US & Canada, Belgium, Canada, Switzerland
Quebec appears poised to legalise medically-assisted suicide, or euthanasia, as a law is expected to be voted on later this month, making the francophone province the first in Canada to allow the controversial practice.
Known as "An act respecting end-of-life care", Quebec's Bill 52 would permit physicians to administer "medical aid in dying" to patients in their care.
"It's really about this idea of having a continuum in care. Medical aid in dying is something that will be very exceptional, for exceptional circumstances of exceptional suffering," Véronique Hivon, the Quebec Minister for Social Services and Youth Protection that introduced the bill, told Al Jazeera.
"The most important thing, of course, is to be able to provide very good palliative care. In this bill, we provide for the obligation for all of the public health organisations in Quebec to have a policy and a programme of palliative, end-of-life care, and a broad training," she said.
The federal government has said that it will not change the criminal code to accommodate Quebec.
When Bill 52 was first tabled last June, Canada's Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Rob Nicholson, said he would review the implications of the law, and renewed his support for the country's existing restrictions on euthanasia.
"In April 2010, a large majority of Parliamentarians voted not to change these laws, which is an expression of democratic will on this topic," he said in a statement.
Still, Quebec argues that its version of medical aid in dying is a health issue, and as such, falls under its provincial controls.
"We have had no sign from the federal government saying that they intend to challenge this bill. They say for now that they don't intend to change the criminal code, but our approach doesn't need such a change because it's based on our jurisdiction," Hivon said.
Restricted eligibility
To be eligible for medical aid in dying in Quebec under Bill 52, a person must be over 18-years-old, suffer from an incurable illness that is in an advanced state of irreversible decline, be in constant and unbearable pain, be insured under the Health Insurance Act, and most importantly, be able to give his or her full consent to a doctor in writing.
When presented with such a demand, doctors must request the second opinion of another physician, confirming that the patient meets all the requirements.
Medical practitioners that disagree with Bill 52 on moral grounds will be allowed to refuse administering medical aid in dying. They must inform their health institution of the decision, and that institution will then find another doctor to carry out the procedure.
"I am very satisfied with all the guidelines that are very strict. [They] are provided to ensure the respect of the wishes of the people at the end of their life, and also the pre-act and post-act oversight that is planned and will be enforced in the law," Raymonde Saint-Germain, Quebec's ombudsman, told Al Jazeera.
"The precautions [are there] to be sure that the will of the person will be respected, but that this will is of full consent and exhaustive comprehension," she explained.
Still, not everyone is convinced that enough safeguards are in place under Bill 52.
We believe that the risk to vulnerable groups, like people who are elderly or people with disabilities, are huge.
Nicolas Steenhout, Director General of Living with Dignity
"We believe that the risk to vulnerable groups, like people who are elderly or people with disabilities, are huge," Nicolas Steenhout, Director General of anti-euthanasia group Living with Dignity, told Al Jazeera.
He said that only a fifth of Quebeckers currently have access to proper end-of-life care, and that the government should invest in better palliative care services for patients and their families, rather than medical aid in dying.
"On the one hand, we're not providing care. On the other hand, we're saying we're going to help you die. It's wrong," Steenhout said.
The Palliative Care Network of Quebec (RSPQ) has also come out against the legislation, saying Bill 52 "will create confusion and suffering for families of patients and palliative care professionals".
"We are deeply concerned that this bill tries to introduce euthanasia in veiled terms by giving it a new name and incorporating it to the world of palliative care," Alberte Déry, president of the RSPQ, said.
The Anglican Church in Quebec has also expressed its opposition to doctor-assisted suicide.
"Such a notion asks our physicians to transform from ministers of healing to agents of death," the chief Anglican Reverends of Quebec City and Montreal, Dennis Drainville and Barry B Clarke, wrote in a letter to the Montreal Gazette newspaper.
"Both the request for assistance in committing suicide, and the provision of such assistance, must be taken seriously as a failure of human community," they stated.
Canadian debate
According to an opinion poll released last fall by the Toronto-based Environics Institute, seven in 10 Canadians approved of euthanasia, defined as "allowing a terminally ill or severely disabled person to end their life".
In Quebec, support for euthanasia jumped by 10 percent since 2004. In general, Quebeckers back euthanasia more than most Canadians, with 79 percent in favour in 2013, second only to British Columbia, where 80 percent of people support it.
The country's approval rating for euthanasia in 2013 was the highest in the past 20 years, when the high-profile case of a BC woman captured national headlines.
Sue Rodriguez was suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, or ALS) when she wanted to end her life with a doctor's help. After two provincial courts rejected her request, the case was heard by the Supreme Court of Canada in 1993.
The Court eventually ruled, in a 5-4 decision, that Rodriguez had no right to doctor-assisted suicide, and upheld section 241b of the criminal code.
Today, the case of another BC woman is once again challenging Canada's ban on euthanasia. The case of Kay Carter - whose family brought her to Switzerland to receive medical aid in dying in 2010 - led to a challenge of Canada's ban on doctor-assisted death.
That case is expected to be heard next fall.
"What we have here are two totally different approaches to the idea of medical aid to die," Francoise Hebert, a board member of Dying with Dignity, a group that supports medically-assisted suicide, told Al Jazeera.
"The first one is Quebec, which is totally reframing this issue as a healthcare issue… Whereas the Carter case is approaching it from the perspective of the rights of the individual, and the autonomy of the body," she said.
Setting a precedent
There are currently only a few jurisdictions worldwide where some form of euthanasia is legal: Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and in a handful of American states (Oregon, Washington, Vermont and New Mexico).
In February, Belgium is expected to pass the first law in the world that would extend the right to die to terminally-ill minors as young as 12.
The Quebec National Assembly is expected to vote on Bill 52 later this month, as the National Assembly session started again this week. Provincial legislators will be allowed to forego party lines and vote with their conscience, and the law is expected to pass.
The bill may lead the way for other provinces across Canada to adopt similar legislation, Hebert said.
"If Quebec passes this law, and the federal government doesn't challenge Quebec on it… then I think that BC will come on shortly. And I know that Ontario is thinking about it," she said.
"It may be that this reframing of this issue as a healthcare issue rather than a criminal issue was that spark that we need in this country."

The Denver Post reports, "King Soopers is rolling out a revamped version of its home-delivery service that lets shoppers order and receive groceries on the same day for a $10 fee."
The company's HomeShop program is currently active in Boulder, CO and will be available in all communities served by King Soopers by the end of the summer.
The HomeShop service operates with a store-based fulfillment system. Kings Soopers' shoppers who order before 10:00 in the morning will have groceries delivered between 4:00 and 8:00 on the same day.
Dave Hopson, HomeShop manager for Kings Soopers told The Post the improved service will make more products available for purchase than the previous system.
Mr. Hopson said, "demand for delivery service has increased, and if HomeShop is successful locally, parent company Kroger may roll it out nationwide".
Moderator's Comment: Has the demand for grocery delivery services grown to the point where it is now possible for these programs to turn a profit?
If the Kings Soopers' test goes well, we may see Kroger roll out the HomeShop service to its other properties. [George Anderson - Moderator]

U.S. 54 from south of Jefferson City to the Cole County line continues to defy safety efforts.
The primary culprits are grade-level crossings intersecting the dual-lane highway. Jeopardy results when vehicles starting from zero attempt to cross or merge as oncoming vehicles approach at high speeds.
Fatalities, sadly, are not infrequent. Recently, a 16-year-old teen died in a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of U.S. 54 and Heritage Highway.
In an effort to decrease danger, the speed limit has been reduced, from 70 to 65 mph, and state and county law enforcement have increased their presence and enforcement.
The results of those efforts are impossible to quantify; we cannot calculate what accidents were prevented.
What remains apparent is peril persists. The Cole County Sheriff's Department characterizes the stretch of U.S. 54 as the most dangerous road in Cole County.
The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is acutely aware of these dangers.
The agency proposes improvements to 11 of the crossovers, with construction scheduled to begin in mid-summer.
The project will be financed with $5 million in federal highway safety funds and the improvements are estimated to take about a year.
To familiarize area residents with the proposed construction, MoDOT officials will host a public meeting from 3:30-6 p.m. Jan. 6 in the Eugene Elementary School Cafeteria.
District Engineer Roger Schwartze said the plan is designed "to improve the accident history at these locations."
Improvements certainly are needed along this stretch of highway tarnished by tragedy.
Today and in the future, however, motorists need to do their part by observing speed limits and exercising caution.

River East, Chicago the Numbers Are In
River East
Jeff Pinyot
I think it's safe to say that a good thing is worth waiting for. That's exactly the case with the relighting project at the River East Parking Garage at Navy Pier in Chicago.
A call to ECO Parking Lights from the Chicago Impark office back in 2009 alerted the company to a possible lighting project at the large four-level parking garage that they managed. After being introduced to the potential of large energy and maintenance savings through relighting projects, Impark did what a great operator should do: They recognized the opportunity and advised their customer, Intercontinental Real Estate Corp., of the potential financial windfall of a relighting project.
Served by T12 lighting technology, the property suffered severely from rapidly depreciating lamps, significant energy consumption (243 watts per fixture), high-maintenance requirements, and lamps that experienced reduction in output from the brutal cold Chicago weather, even though the facility has underground parking.
After a comprehensive walk-through of the facility, Impark was presented an installed relighting project that included supporting the Chicago economy by subcontracting the installation to a local contractor and by manufacturing their Induction lighting fixtures in their Chicago factory.
Intercontinental agreed to a demonstration installation, pitting five of the 100-watt induction fixtures against five T8 linear fluorescent fixtures. The fixtures were installed in the darkest and poorest lighted sections of the garage, which serves day commuters, the Embassy Suites Hotel, and the River East Condominiums.
Despite having an extremely attractive payback of only 2.5 years when considering the ComEd rebate of $70 per fixture and the $.60/sq ft EPACT 2005 tax incentive (see Sidebar), the owner sat on the proposal and the demos for nearly two years.
Once the demos were installed, the residents of the River East condos moved their best vehicles and located them under the new induction lighting, which had previously been the darkest section of the garage.
Intercontinental agreed to meet with ECO Parking Lights at the Boston NPA show to discuss the project.
After considering the success of the now two-year-old demo induction installation compared with the fluorescent installation, which did not perform well under the spacing of the existing fixtures like the induction; and after rejecting a late entry of an imported Chinese induction fixture, Intercontinental agreed to do the lighting retrofit with the ECO Parking Lights induction solution. The installation was completed in September 2011.
Asked by ECO how the project has performed over the first year of installation, Al Paraharm, Senior Project Manager for Impark at the River East property said, "The energy and maintenance savings you predicted are exactly as you said they would be. … We are spending less than half of what we used to on energy, and we haven't paid a dime on maintenance since the new fixtures were installed."
Art Isom, Property Manager for Intercontinental, added: "This is the first time we have ever been able to see across the entire length of the garage."
Asked by ECO if Impark had seen increased revenue due to the lighting change out, Paraharm said, "Not only have we seen a measureable increase in parkers, we have had many unsolicited comments from parkers indicating that they now choose to park in River East over other garages because they feel safer with the new lighting."
Citing their confidence in the work that Impark has done for them from the lighting retrofit to increased revenues, Intercontinental recently extended the contractual relationship with Impark without offering the parking facility out for competitive bids.
Jeff Pinyot, President of ECO Parking Lights, can be reached at email@example.com.
Project Summary:
Existing: 660 T12 and HID fixtures consuming 152 kW
of energy.
New: 660 ECO Quad Induction fixtures consuming 63 kW of energy.
Energy savings: 89 kW, or 58% reduction in energy.
Annual energy savings: 89kW x $.07/kWh x 8,760 hours = $54,575/year
Utility rate of $.07/kWh
8,760 hours of operation per year (24/7/365)
Maintenance savings: $12,574/year
Total annual savings: $54,575 + $12,574 = $67,149/year
Payback: $305,000 Project cost -
$44,400 ComEd rebate -
$91,558 EPACT incentive (at 30% tax rate) = $164,042 / $67,149 total annual savings =
2.5 years
Payback 'Rule of Thumb'
One of the mysteries of lighting is why owners delay and choose instead to continue to pay huge sums to utilities and to their maintenance budgets. Here is a good "rule of thumb." If the project pays off within the warranty period of the equipment, including financing costs, thus eliminating all risks and obstacles, and if doing the project enhances your facility, do the project.
As the slogan goes, a lighting retrofit is "Green That Makes Cents!"
Note also that all induction is not alike. Insist on a U.S.-manufactured induction fixture that includes lamps and ballast from North America, such as the Sylvania Icetron lamp and the ballast used by ECO Parking Lights.

Dungeness Watershed Facts
Watershed size
Fish Facts
16,000+ people live in the Dungeness River Watershed (74 people per square mile).
Restoration Project Accomplishments
The Dungeness River Management Team brings a solid partnership to the Dungeness Watershed Restoration effort.
» » » » » » » » » » » »
The Dungeness River is a study in contrasts
From its headwaters at 7,000 feet in the Olympic Peninsula's Buckhorn Wilderness, the Dungeness, one of America's steepest rivers, loses an astonishing 4,000 feet in elevation during its first four miles, rushing cold and swift through narrow canyons thick with trees. During the latter half of the river's brief 32 miles, the Dungeness slows dramatically as its winds through the flat, arid northern edge of the Peninsula.
Such striking contrasts in the river's 172,000-acre watershed dictate differing approaches in management and restoration, presenting unique challenges to the federal, state, local and tribal agencies concerned with maintaining the river's ecological health.
Yet despite the challenges, the relatively short course of the river and cooperation among the area's stakeholders provides an excellent opportunity to realize a holistic vision of restoration on the Dungeness that stretches from the mountain ridges of the Olympic range to the ocean waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
» » » » » » » » » » » »
OLYMPIC NATIONAL FOREST, WASH. – Scott Hagerty, a soil scientist with the Olympic National Forest's Hood Canal Ranger District, can sum up the Forest's main restoration focus in the upper Dungeness watershed in one word: roads.
Standing on the precipice of a washed-out Olympic Forest road, it is easy to see why. Loose, gravely soil slips and slides down a dizzyingly steep slope toward the faint sound of the rushing river far below. The more fine-grained sediment that makes it downslope to the river, the worse the spawning and rearing conditions for the river's 10 distinct anadromous fish stocks, the most in Washington for a river its size. Those stocks include Chinook, pink, and chum salmon, steelhead, as well as bull trout and cutthroat trout. Three species – bull trout, summer chum and Chinook – are listed under the Endangered Species Act.
Hagerty says a combination of loose, gravelly soils and very steep terrain in the Dungeness make the region already naturally prone to landslides and erosion. The Dungeness receives a fraction of the rain that falls on other Peninsula rivers, due to the Olympic Mountain's rain shadow effect. Sequim, a growing community on the banks of the lower Dungeness, gets just 17 inches of average rainfall per year, compared to the 240 inches of precipitation at Mount Olympus, a mere 35 miles away.
The steep, slide-prone landscape of the upper Dungeness is also criss-crossed with 108 miles of roads, which can exacerbate erosion problems. But simply removing all roads is not an option: many serve as well-traveled gateways for recreationists seeking access to the Buckhorn Wilderness and Olympic National Park, which is ringed by National Forest land.
"If two roads are going to the same place, then we can choose to decommission one," says Bob Metzger, aquatics program manager with the Forest. "And if the road we're choosing to decommission is the more popular route, then we have to do upgrades on the other road to handle the new traffic."
Metzger and his colleagues got the chance to do just that when they undertook a decommissioning project in an area hit particularly hard by winter floods in 1999.
Working with the local watershed council, the Dungeness River Management Team, the Forest leveraged $85,000 in funds from the Pacific Coast Watershed Partnership to obtain a larger grant from the Washington State Salmon Recovery Funding Board. This grant, sponsored by Clallam Conservation District, helped decommission three and a half miles of a popular road, stabilizing another six miles of an alternate road and repairing seven flood damage sites in the process. Decommissioning entails removing road culverts to improve drainage and fish passage, stabilizing fillslopes, ripping the road surface and outsloping some road segments.
The District Ranger also made the tough choice to decommission a popular 10-site campground adjacent to the river, removing the campground's infrastructure, replanting the riparian zone with conifers, and placing large logs near the riverbank to catch sediment and slow water when river levels rise. While clearly the best option under the Northwest Forest Plan's Aquatic Conservation Strategy, the decision was still a tough sell with the public. A series of public meetings, creation of a new hiking trail and parking area as well as the Forest's extensive road inventory, which analyzed and prioritized which roads should be dealt with first, all helped make the case for the project.
But more work awaits. Hagerty says the Forest's road analysis identified a full 36 percent of the Olympic's 2,254 miles of forest roads as "high hazard potential" when factoring in proximity to fish habitat, potential for instability, stream crossing densities and other criteria. As such, approximately 800 miles of roads within the Forest are slated for decommissioning, roughly a third of the total.
One of the Forest's highest priority roads in the Dungeness watershed, according to Hagerty, is near Eddy Creek, a tributary to the Dungeness. The winding road cuts into an extremely steep slope, with trees askew at varying angles illustrating natural landslides already underway. Nearly 100 feet below the road's surface, a culvert juts into mid-air, sending water cascading down the steep embankment.
"This is a measure of the extent of decommissioning work we have on the Forest," says Metzger, noting that to properly decommission the road, they will have to first lower it to the culvert's level in order to remove the culvert and restore the streambed to its natural state. "We're talking about 27,000 cubic meters of fill material that will have to be removed. That's approximately 2,700 dump truck loads just for these two stream crossings."
Once the huge undertaking is completed, the stream crossings will flow over the former road surface, buffeted by rip rap and large logs to prevent further erosion. In addition, Hagerty says he would like to use educational signs alongside the Eddy Creek project to give visitors an idea of how the Forest is tackling the problem of sedimentation into the watershed's waterways.
"This is good restoration work, and we should let people know what's going on," he says.
And Eddy Creek is not alone. The Forest's road analysis also identified more than 100 culvert fish passage barriers. Tackling culverts goes hand in hand with road decommissioning, but it all takes funding, which Hagerty says is unfortunately becoming more scarce.
"Our big concern is that we're really at a crossroads in funding," he says. "We've identified the areas where we want to do work, but there's not a lot of funding out there now for work on federal lands. The dollars are drying up just when we have our road priorities identified."
On the lower Dungeness outside the Forest boundary, the river meanders through farmland and the community of Sequim, a stark contrast to its steep, cold-running headwaters. In Sequim, signs of change and growth are everywhere. Following the river's northerly path toward the stretch of blue sea that separates the Peninsula from Vancouver Island, we pass golf courses, retirement homes, subdivisions – all the usual suspects of sprawl. Plans are in the works for a big-box retail development, most likely a Wal-Mart, which would bookend the town's downtown.
While Sequim's steady growth – aided by its scant rainfall and mild climate – is a concern for water quality in the entire Dungeness region, the main priority for restoring habitat in the lower watershed lies nearly at the river mouth. The area, known as Rivers End, encompasses 2.7 miles of the river's final stretch, where numerous homes have been built on former pasture land.
Laying out a series of historical aerial photos, Hagerty shows how the Rivers End property and surrounding development used a series of dikes to alter the river's path to the ocean. Historically, the river used to flow directly where a number of homes now stand, and when high flows breach the dikes, it still does.
So the Dungeness River Management Team is proposing the ambitious move of purchasing land from willing property owners at Rivers End. The goal is to first acquire the land and then return it to its natural state by removing dikes and letting the river take its own course. The Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe is also working with University of Washington research scientist Brian Collins to determine the historic vegetation that used to grow in the floodplain, so they can one day begin plantings.
And while the project will restore the river's mouth to a closer copy of what it once was, the plan is just the beginning of a broader strategy.
Dikes constructed to convert the floodplain of the Dungeness to pasture and farmland extend all the way to Sequim, channelizing the river and speeding up its flow, which in turn increases the amount of sediment and pollutants carried to the mouth. Cathy Lear, a planner with Clallam County, adds that the Rivers End project should help address water quality problems near the river's mouth and upstream by opening up the floodplain and estuary.
"This is just the beginning of a system-wide project," she says. "While we aim to completely remove the dike [at Rivers End], we eventually hope to move upstream and begin dike setbacks."
If successful, the river will start to move back to a natural state that can still be seen at Railroad Bridge Park, the lone spot on the lower river where the Dungeness spreads out, forming braided channels and islands while flowing through shifting log jams. The area makes prime habitat for the river's summer chum and Chinook salmon, both listed under the Endangered Species Act.
"The strategy is actually very simple. If we have high-quality habitat that's productive to salmon, we identify it and protect it," says Randy Johnson of Washington's Fish and Wildlife Department. "If we have degraded habitat that should be supporting salmon, or once did, then we have a high priority to restore that spot. So we have to consider property acquisition. Perpetual protection goes beyond tomorrow's regulations."
Though ambitious, the broad plan to restore the lower Dungeness watershed has plenty going for it:
– Solid partnerships established through the DRMT; including federal level involvement (Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Forest and Fish and Wildlife Services, and Bureau of Reclamation), state involvement (Washington Departments of Fish and Wildlife), county government involvement (Clallam County and Clallam Conservation District and Ecology), tribal involvement (Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe), and private landowner involvement."If funding levels stay consistent, I'd hazard to say that we could see the entire area restored within 10 years," Lear says, adding that nearly $1.5 million has been amassed so far toward property acquisitions at Rivers End. "But along with the funding you need people involved that are committed to getting it done. It's amazing what we can accomplish when no one cares who takes the credit."
"It takes awhile to reach a critical mass. These are issues that take a long time to sort out," adds WDFW's Johnson. "Our collaboration will have to continue, between the state, feds, tribe and private landowners. We have a good start, and I think we'll get there."

I'm not sure what style of map you're going for, but... The trees... that's just overwhelming. I am having trouble focusing on the map to look at anything else, because it's too dark/distracting.
I appreciate what you were going for... the denser forest melting out into scarcer trees... but that's not the effect I'm getting. It doesn't gel well with the simple, black outlines of your icons. I bet it would look a lot better if you thinned that out a bit.

Why Tories Are Willing to Risk EU Divorce
Peter Oborne, Daily Telegraph
AP Photo
When David Cameron became Tory leader seven years ago, William Hague is said to have delivered a stern warning on the subject of Europe. Stay well away, advised Mr Hague, who knew from brutal personal experience as Conservative leader the damage it was capable of doing. Mr Hague added that Europe should be regarded as a bomb that could never be defused, yet might well go off at any moment. The wisest course was to leave well alone and hope for the best.
Mr Cameron took careful note. In opposition he did his best to avert trouble, and was almost excessively careful during the early period of government. Europe was the easiest part of the Coalition Agreement to negotiate, Mr Cameron having already abandoned his "cast-iron" guarantee of a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty....

The MRO indirect materials supply world is cluttered and confusing. There are thousands of manufacturers and distributors with various allegiances. Many claim to have indirect materials management specialties, but few have the credentials and the focus to truly perform.
Integrity is at the center of SSI's parts purchasing policies, which means you get the highest quality at the best price.
Ask Questions →
The result is world-class metric-driven indirect materials management and sourcing. That's what we're all about. Pure Integrated Supply is all we do – so we have the people, processes and technology to do it right - every time.
Our founding principles are simple: Respect, Fairness and Integrity in all relationships.
Maybe that's why our clients – large multi-plant food enterprises, international pharmaceutical firms, major universities, heavy and light manufacturing plants – all say the same thing:
They see us as partners – not vendors.

More On TTC Document Dump
Here are the details, if you have the time and stomach, Master Development Plan. There's much more analysis and logic from Off The Kuff and McBlogger.
Let's do a little math here. The full route is 370 miles. How many miles per gallon does your car get on the freeway? We've got a Saturn coupe that exceeds 30 MPG on the highway, and a Subaru Outback that gets between 25 and 30. But let's say you've got a Hummer, and that 370 mile trip would take you 20 gallons of gas (18.5 MPG). At that crappy level of mileage, the gas tax would have to increase by $2.81 per gallon to match the toll price. Let me say that again: That toll equates to $2.81 per gallon extra in gas tax. If we simply doubled the existing gas tax – from 20 cents per gallon to 40 cents per gallon, which would make ours the highest gas tax in the country – you'd have paid an extra $4 for that 370 mile trip.
Four dollars versus fifty-six and change. What a deal, huh?
Current plans for the TTC are to the east of 35, paving over some of the most amazing farm and ranch land in the country. Land that can't be replaced. Land that's been in families for generations and land that will be worth far less once it is divided. This will severely damage agriculture in Texas (one of our largest industries) and the primary reason Hank is against the project. The problem is, many in the media have made an issue of Hank's (Hank Gilbert) opposition, as if he were anti-transportation when in fact nothing is further from the truth.
The solution? For one thing, the gas tax needs to actually be spent on transportation. Further, the people of Texas should have the right to choose, at the polls, whether they want tolls or gas taxes. If it's to be tolls, then let's keep private ownership out of the game. By adding in a private operater, you add in to the cost their necessary profit. Make no mistake, toll roads can be operated by the state just as cheaply as they can by Cintra-Zachry. The state can also issue bonds. In short, many of the 'innovative' solutions being touted by the pro-TTC crowd CAN be done without having to hang Texas taxpayer's to twist in the wind.

"I started watching F1 part way through the 1993 season but I do not recall other instances of califications or mid-season rule changes."
That's odd, because there was plenty of it going on just last year. Hot blown diffusers were allowed, then banned at Silverstone, then allowed again. Rules rarely "change" in F1 - instead they are constantly being "clarified".

WASHINGTON � Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano met with the American Legion on Friday to apologize for a right-wing extremism report written by her agency, and the veterans group walked away from the meeting mollified.
Napolitano blamed one of her agency's analysts for prematurely sending out the intelligence assessment to law enforcement, according to Craig Roberts, an American Legion member who attended the meeting. The report says veterans returning from Iraq or Afghanistan could be susceptible to right-wing recruiters or commit lone acts of violence.
�She essentially admitted fault within her office,� Roberts said.
In a statement after the meeting, Napolitano said, �I pledge that the department has fixed the internal process that allowed this document to be released before it was ready.�
It didn't take long for Napolitano to become a target for Republicans. In less than 100 days after she was confirmed secretary, two Republicans have called for her resignation.
At the heart of the GOP criticism is the right-wing extremism report.
When conservative bloggers began writing about the report, Napolitano defended the assessment while acknowledging that some of it should have been rewritten. She went on a number of television news shows to apologize and explain her support for and admiration of veterans.
A few Republicans took to the House floor this week to criticize Napolitano.
�Has this homeland security secretary gone absolutely stark raving mad?� Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn, said Wednesday.
�I think the appropriate thing for her to do would be to step down,� Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Texas, told Fox News on Thursday.
�Janet Napolitano should resign or be fired,� Rep. John Carter, R-Texas, said on Wednesday.
Obama administration aides dismissed the criticism as a �typical Washington game� and �political theater.�
Despite the furor among some Republicans, party leaders did not bring it up in a meeting with President Barack Obama and on Thursday. House Republican leader John Boehner had indicated it likely would be discussed Thursday. But his spokesman, Kevin Smith, said the topic was not broached.
White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said the right-wing extremist report originated in the Bush administration and Napolitano was working to keep the nation safe from terrorists.
�She doesn't have time for these games � and neither does the president,� Shapiro said.
The veterans issue wasn't the only flap. Earlier this week, Napolitano drew criticism for flubbing an explanation of federal law prohibiting people without proper documents from crossing U.S. borders into the country.
In an interview with CNN, Napolitano, whose career has included stints as a U.S. attorney and attorney general and governor of Arizona, said: �Crossing the border is not a crime per se. It is civil.�
While crossing the border illegally is a crime, most illegal immigrants caught in the United States face only civil penalties and deportation.
Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., characterized Napolitano's statements as one of the most �baffling� he has ever heard from a senior government official.
�It is breathtaking that a Cabinet secretary, bestowed by the public with the responsibility to protect our nation's borders, could be ignorant of the indisputable fact that it is a violation of the criminal code to enter our country illegally,� Sessions said.
Napolitano spokesman Sean Smith said: �She may be new to Washington, but she has been around politics for a long time, and she knows political theater when she sees it.�
Smith said Napolitano spent 16 years enforcing the law on the Southwest border. �Americans can rest assured that she understands what the law is along the border,� he said.
She also has drawn criticism for claiming in an interview that the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorists entered the U.S. across the Canadian border. The Sept. 11 commission found that none came through Canada. But others have, such as the would-be millennium bomber Ahmed Ressam.
Discussing security along the U.S. border on Canada's CBC News on Monday, Napolitano said, �To the extent that terrorists have come into our country or suspected or known terrorists have entered our country across a border, it's been across the Canadian border. There are real issues there.�
When asked whether she was talking about the 9/11 terrorists, Napolitano said: �Not just those, but others as well.�
Smith on Thursday said Napolitano acknowledged she misspoke and had been thinking of the millennium bomber.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano speaks in March at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Arlington, Va.

One of the grains I always keep in my pantry is quinoa, and it is the perfect canvas for a summery, lunchtime salad that is both filling and healthy. Quinoa is a South American grain that is packed full of protein, fiber and vitamins. It has a slightly nutty flavor and a crunch texture.
I love this recipe. It is sweet, nutty and crunchy. The crystallized ginger in the dressing provides a sweet and spicy surprise. With the added fruits and vegetables, this salad will satisfy your grumbling stomach at lunchtime.
2 cups water
1 cup quinoa
1 med apple, diced
1 cup pecans
1 cup spinach, chopped
1/2 med shallot, minced
2 tbsp honey
1/4 cup champagne vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp crystallized ginger, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
Bring the water to a boil, then add the quinoa. Reduce the temperature to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. Once cooked, drain the excess water and cool.
While the quinoa is cooking, toast the pecans in a dry skillet on the stove over medium heat or in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. Watch closely, nuts will go from toasted to burned in seconds. If you can smell the nuts, they are probably done. Once the pecans are toasted, cool and chop coarsely.
Mix together the apples, spinach, shallots, quinoa and pecans in a big bowl. Now, bring together the vinaigrette. Mix together the remaining ingredients with a whisk. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and chill.
