endemic to a single nation
National Distribution
United States
Origin: Native
Regularity: Regularly occurring
Currently: Present
Confidence: Confident
Type of Residency: Year-round
Global Range: (250-1000 square km (about 100-400 square miles)) Historically, this species was widely distributed in the Ohio, Cumberland, and Tennessee river drainages (USFWS, 1984). Currently, it is present in an undetermined number of miles below three Tennessee River mainstem dams (Pickwick, Wilson, and Guntersville) and the upper Clinch River between river miles 323 and 154 (likely only extant and viable between rm 189 and 154) primarily on the Tennessee side at the Virginia border. Although reported by Parmalee et al. (1980) from the middle Cumberland River between 1977 and 1979, it was not found in recent surveys by Tennessee Valley Authority (1976) or Sickel and Chandler (1996). It is present on the Green River, Kentucky between locks 4 and 5 and in the Barren River (Green River tributary in Kentucky) below Lock and Dam 1 (USFWS, 1984). Clarke (1983) found a single living specimen in the Green River near Glenmore, Kentucky. Historical populations are gone in the upper Ohio River drainage and western parts of its range (Arkansas, Missouri, and Kansas) if in fact it ever occurred there. In Alabama, In Alabama, extant populations are in the Tennessee River tailwaters of Wilson Dam (very rare) and possibly Guntersville Dam (Mirarchi et al., 2004) but historically it is known from the following counties: Colbert, Lauderdale, Madison, Morgan, Marshall, Lawrence, Limestone.
Habitat and Ecology
- Freshwater
Habitat Type: Freshwater
Comments: This species is found in medium to large rivers (20 m wide or greater) in sand, gravel, and cobble substrates in shoals. It is occasionally found on flats and muddy sand (Gordon and Layzer, 1989; USFWS, 1984).
Non-Migrant: No. All populations of this species make significant seasonal migrations.
Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make local extended movements (generally less than 200 km) at particular times of the year (e.g., to breeding or wintering grounds, to hibernation sites).
Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make annual migrations of over 200 km.
Population Biology
Number of Occurrences
Note: For many non-migratory species, occurrences are roughly equivalent to populations.
Estimated Number of Occurrences: 6 - 20
Comments: In the 1980s, this species was confined to under 20 sites in the Tennessee, Clinch, Cumberland, Barren and Green rivers (USFWS, 1984); fewer than half are still likely extant. In the 1980s, these included: Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers: the Cumberland River at the middle reaches in Smith Co., Tennessee; the Tennessee River, below Pickwick Dam in Tennessee and below Wilson and Guntersville Dam in Alabama; Clinch River: between Kyles Ford (rm 189.6) and State Highway 25 E. bridge (rm 153.8) in Tennessee; Green and Barren Rivers: Green River below Lock and Dam No. 5 near Glenmore in Warren Co. to Lock 4 near Woodbury, Kentucky; Barren River below Lock and Dam No. 1 near Bowling Green, Kentucky to the mouth of the river (USFWS., 1984). Clarke (1983) reported live specimens from the Green River and Barren Rivers, Kentucky (live specimens only in Green River near Glenmore) as well as two other living populations in the Clinch River Hancock Co., Tennessee, and Tennessee River in Hardin Co., Tennessee. Ahlstedt (1991) reported it from only three locations in Hancock Co., Tennessee (Upper Clinch River drainage). In Tennessee, it is a rare shell in stretches of the middle Cumberland River, primarily Smith and Trousdale Cos., and exists as a relict population in the Tennessee River above Chattanooga (Parmalee and Bogan, 1998). In Alabama, it is historically from the following counties: Colbert, Lauderdale, Madison, Morgan, Marshall, Lawrence, Limestone and may still be extant in the tailwaters of Wilson Dam and possibly Guntersville Dam (Mirarchi et al., 2004; Williams et al., 2008). In Kentucky, it is sporadic in the upper Green River where it is considered rare (Cicerello and Schuster, 2003). It has been collected in Kentucky in the Middle Green and Barren Rivers (Cochran and Layzer, 1993). It may still be extant in the Tippecanoe River, Indiana (Cummings and Berlocher, 1990). A single live specimen was collected from the East Fork White River, Indiana, in 1992 (Fisher, 2006).
Global Abundance
100,000 - 1,000,000 individuals
Comments: Due to problems obtaining a unbiased and complete sample, abundance in mussels is difficult to estimate, and no estimates of population size or abundance have been made for this species.
Life History and Behavior
The reproductive cycle of Pleurobema plenum is presumed to be similar to other Pleurobema spp. (Yokley, 1972). During spawning, males release sperm into the water column, and the sperm are taken in by the females during siphoning. Eggs are fertilized in the female's suprabranchial cavity or gills, which serve as marsupia for embryos developing to the parasitic stage (glochidia). Glochidia are released by the female and must attach to a suitable fish host for metamorphosis to the free-living juvenile stage. This species is probably a short-term breeder, based on gravid females collected in May (Ortmann, 1919). Spawning occurs in spring and glochidia are released in summer (USFWS, 1984). Glochidia are probably semicircular and hookless (Yokley, 1972; Surber, 1915). Fish hosts are unknown for this species.

National NatureServe Conservation Status
United States
Rounded National Status Rank: N1 - Critically Imperiled
NatureServe Conservation Status
Rounded Global Status Rank: G1 - Critically Imperiled
Reasons: Distribution is greatly fragmented and the remaining occurrences are few and highly disjunct. Long-term viability of most populations is questionable, especially those in large rivers where zebra mussel populations are now established. Questionable taxonomic status and problems in identification complicate the problem.
Intrinsic Vulnerability: Highly vulnerable
Comments: Sensitive to pollution, siltation, habitat perturbation, inundation, commercial harvest, and loss of glochidial hosts. The species currently has a disjunct distribution from what was once a widespread distribution limiting dispersal and exchange of genetic material.
Environmental Specificity: Narrow. Specialist or community with key requirements common.
Comments: This species is found in medium to large rivers (20 m wide or greater) in sand, gravel, and cobble substrates in shoals. It is occasionally found on flats and muddy sand (Gordon and Layzer, 1989; USFWS, 1984).
Other Considerations: It is considered as endangered by the freshwater mussel subcommittee of the endangered species committee of the American Fisheries Society (Williams et al., 1993).

Global Short Term Trend: Decline of 70 to >90%
Comments: Once widely distributed in the Ohio, Tennessee, and Green Rivers and some of the largest tributaries, this species is now severely declining (Clarke, 1983; USFWS, 1984). In Illinois, it was formerly widely distributed in the Wabash and Ohio Rivers but is not extirpated from the state (Cummings and Mayer, 1997).
Global Long Term Trend: Decline of 70-90%
Comments: The species has declined significantly to only the Tennessee, Cumberland, Clinch, Green, and Barren Rivers (USFWS, 1984). It is extirpated in Pennsylvania (Bogan, 1993; Spoo, 2008) where it formerly occurred in the Upper Ohio and Middle Allegheny-Redbank drainages (Ortmann, 1919). It is also extirpated from Ohio, where it occurred in the Ohio River basin from Buffington Island to Cincinnati (Watters, 1995) and th elower Muskingum and Scioto Rivers (subfossil) below Columbus (Watters et al., 2009) including Hannibal dam pool (Little Muskingum section) where it was last seen in 2001 (Watters and Flaute, 2010). It is also extirpated in Virginia where it once occurred in the Clinch River although it may still survive as a relictual population in the Tennessee portion (Ahlsteadt, 1991; Parmalee and Bogan, 1998). Alabama distribution has been reduced to the entire northern portion of the state including lower reaches of the Elk and Paint Rock Rivers to possibly two relict populations at Wilson and Guntersville Dams (Mirarchi et al., 2004; Williams et al., 2008). It is extirpated from the McAlpine dam pool in the Ohio River at Louisville, Kentucky (and Indiana) (Watters and Flaute, 2010).
Degree of Threat: Very high - high
Comments: Smith (1971) ranked the causes of extirpation or declines in fish species as follows: siltation, drainage of bottomland lakes, swamps, and prairie marshes, desiccation during drought, species introductions, pollution, impoundments, and increased water temperatures. All of these factors render habitats unsuitable, cause extirpations, and lead to the isolation of populations thereby increasing their vulnerability to extirpation for many aquatic species (including mussels) throughout North America. Zebra mussels, Dreissena polymorpha, have destroyed mussel populations in the Great Lakes and significantly reduced mussels in many of the large rivers of eastern North America. Zebra mussels have the potential to severely threaten other populations especially if they make their way into smaller streams. Pollution through point (industrial and residential discharge) and non-point (siltation, herbicide and fertilizer run-off) sources is perhaps the greatest on-going threat to this species and most freshwater mussels. Lowered dissolved oxygen content and elevated ammonia levels (frequently associated with agricultural runoff and sewage discharge) have been shown to be lethal to some species of freshwater naiads (Horne and McIntosh, 1979). Residential, mineral and industrial development also pose a significant threat. Rotenone, a toxin used to kill fish in bodies of water for increased sport fishery quality, has been shown to be lethal to mussels as well (Heard, 1970). Destruction of habitat through stream channelization and maintenance and the construction of dams is still a threat in some areas. Impoundments reduce currents that are necessary for basic physiological activities such as feeding, waste removal and reproduction. In addition, reduced water flow typically results in a reduction in water oxygen levels and a settling out of suspended solids (silt, etc.), both of which are detrimental. Dredging of streams has an immediate effect on existing populations by physically removing and destroying individuals. Dredging also affects the long-term recolonization abilities by destroying much of the potential habitat, making the substrates and flow rates uniform throughout the system. Natural predators include raccoons, otter, mink, muskrats, turtles and some birds (Simpson, 1899; Boepple and Coker, 1912; Evermann and Clark, 1918; Coker et al., 1921; Parmalee, 1967; Snyder and Snyder, 1969). Domestic animals such as hogs can root mussel beds to pieces (Meek and Clark, 1912). Fishes, particularly catfish, Ictalurus spp. and Amieurus spp., and freshwater drum, Aplodinotus grunniens, also consume large numbers of unionids.
The federal recovery plan (USFWS, 1984) lists the following threats: impoundment (for flood control, navigation, hydroelectric power, and recreation), siltation (due to strip mining, coal washing, dredging, farming, logging, and road construction), pollution (from municipal, agricultural, and industrial discharges). Invasion by zebra mussels is a recent threat to this species' survival.
Biological Research Needs: In order to effectively manage mussel species it is necessary to work out certain life history characteristics first. Because of their unusual life-cycle and dependence on fish for completion of that cycle, it is imperative that the host species for the rough pigtoe be ascertained. Life history studies need to be done to identify age and size at sexual maturity, recruitment success, age class structure, and other important life history parameters.
Research is needed to assess the success of watershed protection on mussel populations. Abundance and distribution of selected species needs to be monitored in order to ascertain how species abundances change over time. From that we can assess what land-use changes, conservation practices, and physical/chemical parameters are correlated with, and possibly responsible for, the biological changes.
As was stated in the taxonomic section above, this is an extremely difficult genus to identify. Arguments arise even among taxonomists regarding the "species" represented in the genus PLEUROBEMA. Although a few "morphs" have been variously identified and named, no rigorous genetic, anatomic, or conchologic study has ever been published on this group to help elucidate species boundaries or relationships.
Global Protection: Few (1-3) occurrences appropriately protected and managed
Comments: Although some populations occur in "protected" sanctuaries (i.e. the Clinch River preserve) or natural areas, disturbances in the watershed impact populations regardless of site protection. No site is adequately protected. Nonessessential Experimental Populations (NEPs) have been proposed for reintroduction into the free-flowing reach of the French Broad River below Douglas Dam (Knox and Sevier Cos., Tennessee) to its confluence with the Holston River, Knox Co., Tennessee, and in the free-flowing reach of the Holston River below Cherokee Dam to its confluence with the French Broad River (Knox, Grainger, and Jefferson Cos., Tennessee), where this species currently does not exist (USFWS, 2006).
Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
Stewardship Overview: This species was listed as federally endangered in the U.S. in 1987 and a recovery plan created (USFWS, 1984).
The recovery plan (USFWS, 1984) outlines the following objectives: (1) preserve populations and presently used habitat with major emphasis on the Tennessee, Clinch, Cumberland, and Green Rivers, (2) determine the feasibility of introducing the species back into rivers within its historic range and introduce where feasible, (3) determine the number of individuals required to maintain a viable population, (4) investigate the necessity for habitat improvement and, if feasible and desirable, identify techniques and sites for improvement to include implementation, (5) develop and implement a program to monitor population levels and habitat conditions of presently established populations as well as introduced and expanding populations, (6) assess overall success of recovery program and recommend action (delist, continued protection, implement new measures, other studies, etc.).
The USFWS, in cooperation with the State of Tennessee and Conservation Fisheries, Inc., proposes to reintroduce this species into its historical habitat in the free-flowing reach of the French Broad River below Douglas Dam to its confluence with the Holston River, Knox County Tennessee, and in the free-flowing reach of the Holston River below Cherokee Dam to its confluence with the French Broad River (USFWS, 2006).
Rough pigtoe pearly mussel
The rough pigtoe pearly mussel or rough pigtoe, scientific name Pleurobema plenum, is a species of freshwater mussel, an aquatic bivalve mollusk in the family Unionidae, the river mussels.
This species is endemic to the United States.

Names and Taxonomy
Comments: The members of the genus Pleurobema are among the most difficult to identify in North America. Arguments arise even among taxonomists regarding the "species" represented in the genus Pleurobema. Stansbery (1983) summarized many of the problems and identified a few of the shell characters used to separate Pleurobema sintoxia from the morphologically similar and often co-occurring Pleurobema plenum, Pleurobema cordatum, and Pleurobema rubrum. A few "morphs" have been variously identified and named but no rigorous genetic, anatomic, or conchologic study has ever been published on this group to help elucidate species boundaries or relationships. Species status of Pleurobema plenum is questionable.

2011 Hall of Fame : David Pitts – With Intellect and Intensity
David Pitts of Classic Graphics poses with a trout he caught while enjoying one of his favorite pastimes. (Double click photos to enlarge.)
David Pitts and wife Wend take time to pause and refresh during a cooking class in Italy.
David Pitts and his wife in Rome.
The Charlotte native transplanted to Bowling Green, KY, with his family around the age of 10 (Pitts was actually born in Munich, Germany, while his father was stationed there). While in high school, he met a girl in his art class who showed him various jobs she had printed at the local vocational school, which led him to take the printing course.
"Back then, anything that got me out of high school sounded like heaven to me," Pitts relates.
A strong work ethic was firmly ingrained in Pitts' psyche at any early age; he started working at age 15 and never stopped, taking side jobs such as working in a movie theater or grocery store. He had printing gigs prior to and after graduating from high school, but Pitts decided that printing was a dead end. So, he enrolled at Western Kentucky. The path soon led back to Charlotte, where he worked for his grandfather in heating and air conditioning while establishing residency to attend the University of North Carolina Charlotte (UNCC). Perhaps a future as a chemical engineer loomed.
A Date With Destiny
But, a funny thing happened on the way to another future. While in school at UNCC, Pitts took a night job at Belk Printing where he met a man bent on starting his own printing company—Bill Gardner.
The duo borrowed $15,000 from family members to acquire a used camera, paper cutter and press, then hung out their shingle with $600 in working capital to spare.
Classic Graphics enjoyed a perfect blend of economical and geographic timing. In addition to debuting at the dawn of a prosperous economic era, Classic Graphics had the good fortune of serving two local financial entities, the predecessors of what are now Wells Fargo (First Union) and Bank of America (Nation's Bank). The financial work, especially, fueled Classic's growth through the mid-1990s.

Interview With Mme Weathersby Shoes
1. How did you come up with the idea of creating Mme. Weathersby Shoes? Mme creates apparel, handbags, and footwear, also furniture. The shoes are getting the most buzz at this point. I love history architecture, culture, and all things feminine. That's where my ideas come from. I can look at a petal, and in my mind, a collection can come forth. 2. Your collection is gorgeous, how do you draw inspiration for your feminine designs? Anything that stands still, planted or moving can inspire me. I love the arts, not so much pop culture. The past inspires me more (read more)

Artist CommentsYay! Long time no manipulations. I really love how the fur turned out on this one.
EDIT: 2/18/13- Holy crap. 137 favorites overnight?! I don't think all of my other stuff combined has that many.
Omg when I first saw it I thought it was a photo
like alive!
good job
really beautiful
Amazing! The light, the details...WOW
Wow! This is beautiful!
I love the detail in the fur ^.^ You make the wolf blend seamlessly
omg, this looks so real
Very nice, you did a good job on the wolf's fur. As a photo manipulator myself I'd like to give you some advise though: Try not to cut off limbs like that next time, it's quite disturbing. If you're not sure how to work with composition you could search a tutorial, knowing a bit more about composition never hurts! I bet this would have even more faves if it had the whole wolf on it.
Thank you for using my stock! <3
Thank you for using my stock! <3
Thanks! It was more a question of, do I feel like looking for feet to stick on it and in the end it didn't happen ;D
Ahh. A small effort like searching extra feet or hide the non existant feet in tall grass can make a big difference in the end though!

Professional Mentoring
Professional mentors serve a valuable role in helping prepare first generation, low income students and/or students with disabilities to enter the "real world" after college. Each school year Project CONNECT will choose approximately 5 SHSU alumni to serve as professional mentors and work with students in our program.
Mentors must attend one panel discussion (held on a work day in the evening) each fall & spring semester and must be available to communicate with students who would like additional mentoring via email and phone. Mentors will receive a small stipend to help cover the expense of attending the panel discussion at SHSU held during the work week and to provide compensation for time spent communicating with students via email or phone.
Ideally each year's group of mentors will come from different college majors. Mentors don't need to be working in the same field as their degree; in fact, alumni who struggled a bit to figure out what they want to do after they graduated will have a unique perspective to share with college students.

I love travelling; all the excitement of seeing new things, having new experiences, it's a blast. But as I've got older I also like to seek out some quiet, peaceful places where I can just sit and stare – recharge the batteries.

Nature Deficit?Thursday, April 7th, 2016
Digital devices are everywhere. Cell phones, tablets and laptops have—especially for young people like my two daughters, aged 11 and 14—replaced cable television for entertainment. All the content you could imagine is available through YouTube, Netflix and other video streaming services. These amazing devices also allow instant communication, via Snapchat, WhatsApp and plain "old fashioned" texting, and incredible, often addictive games to suit every age group and taste. (more…)
Accent Inns Easter QuizThursday, March 24th, 2016

For almost everyone though, it's about spending time with family so here's a fun quiz everyone can take part in. (more…)

Maybe It's Time for a New BikeTuesday, March 8th, 2016
I'm not an avid mountain biker but I do like to ride. A few weeks ago I rode the Galloping Goose Trail in Victoria, B.C. that runs right behind the funky and highly popular Hotel Zed and realized that I needed to start thinking about a new bike. To say mine is ancient is an understatement. It weighs a ton, has more rust on it than a 1986 Datsun and has not enjoyed the tender loving care it may have at one point deserved. Now in my defence I didn't get it new, I'm not sure it was even second or third-hand so I've never been really proud of it. (more…)
5 Top Reasons International Visitors Love B.C.Thursday, March 3rd, 2016
New figures just released show that British Columbia is becoming increasingly popular with tourists from overseas – in fact 2015 saw a 7.9% increase. That's 359,750 more international visitors than in 2014 – for close to 5 million in total annually.
The biggest increase came from France, which saw an increase of 32.8%, with Japanese tourists going up by 15.5% and visitors from our southern neighbours increasing by 9.6%.
This healthy growth in international visitors has been put down to a new marketing strategy by Destination B.C., a growing Aboriginal tourism sector and more direct flights to British Columbia. (more…)
Boomers, Zoomers and TravelThursday, February 25th, 2016
I was reading a survey carried out by AARP (the American Association of Retired Persons) about Boomer travel. It got me thinking about how Boomers, and their exciting subset Zoomers, travel differently to younger people. Millennials (those born from early 80's to early 2000's), for instance, are part of the sharing economy and they are more likely to use AirBnB or other sharing accommodation sites than a hotel. More of them travel internationally, but they are very budget conscious and tend to book online. Many travel for the purpose of finding love (if you're a Boomer, think the Love Boat) and while Boomers travel to impress the younger cohort pack light, very light – a few tee-shirts, shorts and flip-flops and they're good to go.

The 6 Things I Must Take On A BC Road TripThursday, February 18th, 2016
I was packing the car the other day, getting ready for a trip to Whistler to visit family and cursing the amount of stuff we always seem to take with us. No matter where we're going, or for how long, it always seems the car is full. It got me thinking if I was going on a road trip what would be the six things I couldn't live without? I don't mean the standard stuff you simply have to pack like your wallet, medicines, cell phone – all the obvious stuff such as a laptop if you're going on business, but those things that make travelling a little more civilized and comfortable.

Valentines Day, Hotel Love, And Keeping It DownThursday, February 11th, 2016
It's that time of year again when love is in the air. Hotel Zed (Accent Inns' rebel sister hotel) is inviting couples back for a 'Nooner' and extended lunch break. This cheeky offer gives fun-loving guests a room between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. for $50. Accent Inns doesn't offer a similar deal, but overnight stays at great prices are very popular on Valentine's Day and the weekend closest to the day itself. (more…)

OLYMPIA — Discover Pass sales for vehicles in state parks took off immediately once the new pass became available 13 days ago.
The pass opened for purchase online and in stores throughout Washington on June 15. After nine days, 3,715 passes sold, said Sandy Mealing, a spokeswoman for the State Parks and Recreation Commission.
State parks are relying on Discover Pass sales to make up for a loss of nearly $64 million from the state general fund for the next biennium. Officials admit they expect sales to fall short. The agency estimates the passes will generate $54 million for state parks over the next two years.
In addition, Ilene Frisch, the commission's finance director, said officials anticipate a slump in the number of $5 donations for state parks included in license tab renewals at the Department of Licensing over the next couple years. The donation is automatically added to vehicle license renewals, but can be undone by a click of a computer's mouse.
This biennium, the license tab donation program brought in more than $20 million. Officials estimate it will generate only $5 million to $10 million in the next two years.
Beginning Friday, the Discover Pass will be required for daytime access to state parks and areas managed by the departments of Natural Resources and Fish and Wildlife. Virginia Painter, a state parks spokeswoman, said making it available early gave vendors a chance to fix glitches in their sales systems, like failing to send emails to customers notifying them of their pass purchases.
Park visitors can buy a year pass for $30 or a single-day pass for $10. Annual passes cost $35 if purchased over the phone or online after adding transaction and dealer fees. Single-day passes cost $11.50 after those fees.
Officials can fine drivers $99 for not displaying the pass on their windshields starting Friday. However, Painter said they might take it easy on visitors, choosing not to cite them for failing to exhibit their passes.
"I won't say there won't be any citations, but I won't say there will either," Painter said. "What we're doing is education. We're going to be out there talking about the pass and encouraging compliance."
The pass is available at a variety of places, including state parks, sporting goods stores, retail stores like Fred Meyer and Walmart, online at http://www.discoverpass.wa.gov, and via phone at 866-320-9933.

Astringency and bitterness of selected phenolics in wine

- wine;
- phenolics;
- timeintensity
Trained judges rated intensities of astringency and bitterness of four phenolic substances in white wine by scalar and time—intensity methods. According to scalar rating, astringency and bitterness increased as a linear function of concentration for catechin, gallic acid, grape seed tannin and tannic acid. The polymeric tannic acid and grape seed tannin were rated more astringent than bitter; the reverse was found for their respective monomers, gallic acid and catechin. Similar results were obtained for maximum intensity ratings by time—intensity methods. As maximum intensity of astringency or bitterness increased directly with concentration, the total duration of aftertaste increased; however, little or no changes in time to maximum were observed. A slightly longer time to maximum perception for bitterness was observed than for astringency.

I restart Pokemon games in general whenever I feel like playing them again. Although before I do that I'll get everything I want to keep off of the file and onto another one. My copy of Diamond is my current fourth gen storage game, for example; if I want to restart Platinum, HeartGold or SoulSilver, all the Pokemon on there I want to keep go over to Diamond, then I reset it.
I've never restarted a Pokemon game midway through though, not unless I started it earlier and haven't picked it up for months and months. Choices aren't particularly hard to undo in Pokemon now: if it learns the wrong move, go see the Move Tutor or Move Deleter. If you don't evolve it, there's always the next level. I don't EV train, so that's not an issue for me either.

Voynich Manuscript by Gerry Kennedy
Book DescriptionAn examination of the many theories surrounding this enigmatic text, apparently written in code Reveals the connections between this work and the Cathars, Roger Bacon, and John Dee Explains the cryptanalysis methods used in attempts to break the code Includes color images from the manuscript juxtaposed with other medieval writings Since its discovery by Wilfrid Voynich in an Italian monastery in 1912, the Voynich Manuscript has baffled scholars and cryptanalysists with its unidentifiable script and bizarre illustrations. Written in an unknown language or an as yet undecipherable code, this medieval manuscript contains hundreds of illustrations of unknown plants, cosmological charts, and inexplicable scenes of naked nymphs bathing in a green liquid that some interpret as a symbolic depiction of human reproduction and the joining of the soul with the body. Gerry Kennedy and Rob Churchill explore the mystery surrounding the Voynich Manuscript, examining the many existing theories about the possible authors of this work and the information it may contain. They trace the speculative history of the manuscript and reveal those who may be connected to it, including Roger Bacon, John Dee, and the Cathars. With the possibility that it may be a lost alchemical text or other esoteric work, this manuscript remains one of the most intriguing yet enigmatic documents ever to have come to light. Gerry Kennedy is a freelance writer and has produced a number of BBC Radio 4 programs, including one on the Voynich Manuscript in 2001. Rob Churchill is a professional writer who has written scripts for many production companies, including the BBC and Thames Television. Both authors were consultants for the BBC/Mentorn Films documentary "The Voynich Mystery." They live in London."

Statewide alliance sought with tribes
A four-day town hall conference exploring the best opportunities to build alliances and partnerships with tribal governments, municipalities and private companies will begin Sunday at Quartz Mountain Resort in Lone Wolf. "Oklahoma's Second Century: Building Alliances with Tribal Governments, State and Local Governments and Private Sectors" is a centennial event hosted by the Oklahoma Academy. Nearly 150 people are expected to attend. Conference participants will discuss alliances that have been successful, investigate and develop ideas for new and improved alliances, and suggest approaches to encourage these alliances. What will be discussed? •Economic development and tourism. •Education and work force. •Health care and social services. •Infrastructure and transportation. "Tribal governments and state and local governments have many overlapping activities and goals and are spending millions each year to provide services and build public infrastructure. The town hall will explore how tribal and nontribal alliances may yield win-win situations, or better yet, benefits that neither party could possibly achieve independently. If we can find creative ways to work together and with the private sector, all Oklahomans will benefit," Oklahoma Academy Chairman Doug Branch said. Will it affect tribal autonomy? Conference planning committee Chairman Howard Barnett said the conference won't try to challenge tribal sovereignty or its limits. "It is going to explore how to better work with the reality of sovereignty and build opportunities that are true win-win situations for all Oklahoma citizens," Barnett said. The Oklahoma Academy is a citizen-based organization for nonpartisan public policy development. The academy's members are from all locations with varied vocational backgrounds.

I have an 1985 Chevy truck. The master cylinder went bad causing the fluid to leak out of the back reservior causing the brake warning light to come on. I know the switch is located on a crossmember under the radiator. How do I reset this switch. I have replaced the master cylinder and have bled the brakes, but the light is on and I don't think I am getting full fluid pressure to the back brakes. I need to know how to reset the switch.

Book Reviews
and that the bibliography is sketchy. The author is inclined to inter-
pret Kirby by standards of the present rather than those of his own
time, and possibly she handles him too gently. Even so, this handsome
book is a contribution to the economic history of Texas.
Houston Baptist College MARILYN MCADAMS SIBLEY
Littlefield Lands: Colonization on the Texas Plains, 1912-i920. By
David B. Gracy II. Austin (University of Texas Press), 1968.
Pp. xiv--161. Illustrations, maps, appendix, bibliography, index.
In a book that should be titled, The Littlefield Land Company,
Gracy relates the problems involved when an absentee owner of a
West Texas ranch attempted to sell his land to farmers in the early
1900oo's. In great detail, gleaned from letters only recently discovered,
the author, writing from the point of view of the Littlefield Land
Company, takes the reader behind the scenes into various business
transactions concerning the problems of the sale of land. Most of the
correspondence is between Major George Littlefield, the landowner
residing in Austin, and his sales manager, Arthur P. Duggan. One
must conclude that the greatest problem to the owner was one of
retaining agents who could convince settlers to come to the South
Plains of Texas. About one-half of the book is devoted to this problem.
Company agents used various promotional schemes to picture the
South Plains as a blooming oasis in the Brazos River Valley. Songs
described it as "land where milk and honey flow. .. ." Shallow water
was promised in areas where it was frequently far below the surface.
The author always betrays a sympathy, however, for the landowner
and not for the settler.
In his last and most interesting chapter, Gracy deals with the settlers
themselves and attempts to determine why they came, where they came
from, and how they reacted and adjusted to the South Plains. This
chapter is much too short, and this reader must take exception to the
author's conclusion that "the story of settlement on the South Plains
of Texas is in large measure the story of these land and townsite com-
panies." The real story of settlement of the Plains is the story of the
individuals and groups, such as the Mennonites and Germans, who
settled there. Far too little attention is given to these people and their
problems for a well-balanced account of a colonization venture, as the
title implies.

On a night made for comebacks, Whiteland wasn't about to be outdone.
In the end, though, it was defending Johnson County Tournament champion Center Grove punching its ticket to yet another title game, the Trojans holding on for a 51-47 victory Friday at Edinburgh.
Leading by 18 points after three periods, the Trojans held on for dear life as their bitter county rival closed to within three points with 1:03 remaining. Whiteland missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer, and the Trojans ended the suspense with 3-of-4 free-throw shooting inside the final 18.9 seconds.
"I thought we played very well for three quarters but couldn't finish the deal. We wanted 32 minutes tonight, and we got 24," Center Grove coach Cliff Hawkins said. "But we're really proud to be in the championship game."
Sophomore swingman Michael Benkert delivered 17 points to lead three Trojans in double-figures. Senior guard Brady Brown came through with 11, and junior swing Tyler Bryant added 10. Six-foot-four post Troy Vorhies finished with seven points and as many rebounds.
For the Warriors, junior sub John Hubler flirted with instant legend
status by burying 4 of his 6 3-pointers in a frenzied fourth quarter that saw Whiteland make a game of what had been a blowout.
Hubler's triples came in a variety pack of sorts. There's the one that bounced high off the rim and dropped through to cut it to 44-39, the one that dramatically spun around before falling that made it 46-42, and the high-arcing all-netter that had Edinburgh's gym buzzing at 48-45.
The climb, however, proved too high.
"What tournament play does is test the character of your team. If you don't fight for yourself, nobody will," Warriors coach Matt Wadsworth said. "I was proud of how we fought, but when you look back we had too many turnovers to win the game. When you play a team like Center Grove you have to get a shot every possession."
The victory places the Trojans (6-5) in tonight's 7:30 championship game against Franklin (8-2), winners of eight straight. Whiteland (5-6) takes on the host Lancers in the 6 p.m. consolation matchup.
Senior Kyle Alford finished with 14 points for the Warriors, with center Dejan Davis producing eight points and a game-high nine boards.
Center Grove finished 19 of 42 (.452) from the floor and connected on only 7 of 14 free-throw tries. Whiteland warmed up considerably down the stretch but still made only 16 of 42 (.381) field-goal chances.
Neither team shot well from the field during the first half, Center Grove's 11 of 25 (.440) considered downright balmy compared to the Warriors' 5 of 19 (.263).
Whiteland held but one lead the entire ballgame at 5-4 early on. The Trojans then went on a 10-3 run thanks to Vorhies' bucket, Benkert's old-fashioned three-point play, a triple by Brown and a Benkert layup.
A 9-2 scoring burst to open the second period put the Trojans in command, 26-13. Whiteland scored three straight, but Benkert countered with a trey from the top of the key with just inside a minute left for a 13-point margin at the break, 29-16.
Overall, Whiteland scored just 10 points in the second and third periods combined but had 26 over the final eight minutes.

If I find out and its not been posted then I will let you guys know
Hey guys ^^
i have a problem with the Tiff exploit.. my problem are i can´t switch my games.
first im on a 1.5 PAL (germany) firmware
i insert ridge racer 7 or F1 (PAL region code 2 ) in the ps3
then i insert a usb stick or an memory stick with the exploit on it
next "open" the exploit (the icon is blinking in the right of the ps3 menu)
i wait 30 seconds than go to the game thing and start ridge racer or f1
the game starts but hangs not on its booting normal -.-
then i tested it with motor storm
motor storn hangs on in the ps3 menü (not a black screen its in the menü after pressing x to start the game)
i switched it with heavenly sword that request fw 1.82 (im on 1.5)
then my screen tels me that the resolution go from 1080p (ps3 menu)
on 720p (max for heavenly sword) (so he starts the game)
but 2 seconds later it goes without a failure in the ps3 menu
also the R:FOM method doesent work -.-
what is this i need help i won´t update but i will play heavenly sword -.-
btw the heavenly sword is the uk one with region code 2 so i will swap regioncode2 PAL German with regioncode2 PAL UK
can any one help me ? and sorry for my bad english
Re Colin McRae Dirt - doesn't appear to work
I can confirm that the Heavenly Sword unfortunately does NOT work with R:FOM swap. (both games and console PAL, version 1.50) ...
If anyone managed to successfully (or not) use any of the remaining swap trick please report back in here.
Looks like $ony managed to plug another hole.
Earlier I was playing with the swap with some of my games. Somehow, I managed to get NBA07's data file to show FEAR, but the problem is it still doesn't load the game. I deleted the data file and tried recreating it but to no avail. I only remember actually going into a quick game, swap the disc, then quit the game. The game just hangs but the data files got updated to FEAR's icon for some reasons... is it possible that NBA can also be used to swap games?
I'm on 1.31 US ps3.
Hey Did Anyone Get Heavenly Sword To Work with R:FOM swap On 1.50 US Ps3 Thanks
i know it has been over a month since i posted about this issue... and to be honest i have been searching around but i still haven't found a lot of info on this... i need to know info on getting rainbow six vegas working on a PS3 with the resistance swap trick?
i read enomerous posts of people saying it did work... but half of them lack to tell me what version of rainbow six did they try with? what firmware was requested?
my problem is that i had played both NTCS call of duty 3 as well as fear (which i remember required 1.54 firmware for sure) on my NTCS US PS3 with firmware 1.31 and it worked fine with this resistance trick.
i then purchased NTCS rainbow six vegas which requires 1.72 to play and this trick doesn't work anyomre even after i delete the data folder and i never get the update folder... so i can't really delete that.
does anyone know WHICH firmware verison of rainbow 6 vegas work with this trick? PAL or NTSC

Replacing standard bin storage shelving with modular drawer cabinets or drawers in shelving units is one of the most effective ways to save space, increase accuracy in order picking and significantly reduce the time spent taking inventory. However, before you decide on a final layout, it is important to plan for the future of your operation in the current design. There are a few points to consider when designing your system that will make the change easier and ensure that the layout will support growth and product changes in the future.If your order picking software can assign an inventory item to any available space in your storage system, then your issues going forward will be minimal. This type of system offers the most flexibility in what locations are assigned to a specific product. Smaller products can be stored in a location with other small products, maximizing the efficiency of the storage space. New products can be added at the end of the system in empty drawers provided for growth or be placed in slots vacated by older stock. This type of software and organization will make it easier to change product lines, add products, and remove discontinued or obsolete products.
However, there are storage systems that can make the transition to drawer storage more difficult and create problems in the future. Let's examine the typical concerns and see how these can be resolved with proper planning during the design phase.
Typical Storage Methods That Create Problems (and the best way to resolve the issue):
PROBLEM 1: Storing products in numerical sequence or grouped by vendor for ease in picking.
This is probably the most typical storage system, but it is not the most space efficient layout. It is easy to locate a part moving down the aisle, counting part numbers as you go. However, this creates two main problems. First, you often have large items on a shelf, right next to smaller ones. This forces your shelf spacing to be wider and wastes space around all the small items for the need of one larger item. The second problem is when new items are added to the line that fall in the middle of a sequence of numbers. Now everything has to be moved 'down one item' to allow space for the new item. The reverse is true when an item is discontinued. You now have a gap in the system that is not used at all, wasting more space.
SOLUTIONS: Whenever possible, the most efficient storage is possible when you can store the same sized items together. It may be worth looking into a software system that allows you to reorganize your stock in this manner. If this is not an option, then modular drawers in shelving can provide a middle way solution. Installing drawers in shelving to fit smaller and then mid-sized products, larger products can be stored on the open shelves above and below the drawers. This allows you to keep part numbers in a 'close to numerical' sequence, with the full sequence being in a single shelving unit, but some of the larger items moved to the fixed shelves. This can increase storage efficiency so much that it can compensate for any difficulty in locating items that are out of sequence.
PROBLEM 2: Keeping a certain class of products separate from others for security or quality control.
This is a common need in many stocking situations. There can be high value or dangerous products that may need to be locked up or secured in some way, separate from the regular inventoried items. Items that come in from a vendor may need to be checked for quality or inspected before they can be put into the regular inventory.
SOLUTIONS: In situations that require a higher control of product accessibility and distribution, there are a several security options available with modular drawer systems. With drawer cabinets, there will be a single key that locks all the drawers at once. This can limit access to those authorized to handle the products or items in that cabinet. Key systems for multiple users and multiple cabinet locations are available with a master keyed system to allow a supervisor access to all locations. Drawers in shelving can be locked with a vertical security bar attached to the shelving unit that can lock each bank of drawers. Both lock systems are available with keyed locks or adaptable for padlocks.
You can also have single drawers of a group, within a cabinet or in a shelving unit, which can be locked individually. These can be keyed differently from the cabinet or security bar, so that all the drawers in a group are accessible when unlocked, except for certain drawers that would require another key. The highest security would be with a modular drawer cabinet that has a true One-Drawer-at-a-Time mechanism. This would prevent two drawers from being opened at once.
There are locking doors available that allow you to lock the entire contents of a drawers in shelving unit. These doors come in solid steel or clear polycarbonate and are adaptable to any standard shelving, with or without drawers.
PROBLEM 3: Expiration dated or time sensitive stock that needs to maintain a First-In First-Out rotation.
Some products have a shelf live and need to be used or distributed within a certain amount of time. It is not acceptable to have older stock left in the back of a shelf that will eventually have to be discarded because it has passed its expiration date. Stock needs to be organized by date in a simple and clear way.
SOLUTION: There are several ways that drawers can help with this issue. Product can be assigned to a specific 'lane' within a drawer. Each lane can have a movable divider that can be placed behind existing stock to indicate a batch to time sensitive lot. Newer product can be added to the drawer behind the divider and then the divider removed or product moved to the front of the divider after all the older stock is gone. In larger volume situations, two lanes could be assigned to a single product with a label showing the date code of each group. Older product is chosen first and then when that lane is empty, it becomes available for the next group of fresher product.
PROBLEM 4: Varying inventory levels by a large amount to adjust for seasonal or cyclical requirements.
Due to the seasonal nature of the need for some products, inventory levels can be very high at one time of the year and then drop to a minimum maintenance level for the rest of the year. When this happens with several items in your product line, it can create problems in storage and stock rotation.
SOLUTION: Drawers in Shelving allows for dense and efficient storage in the drawers, while providing shelves above or below the drawer set to accommodate overstock of the same items. Color codes, tags, or a secondary label in the drawer labeling system can be used to indicate that there is overstock for a specific item and give the location of where to find the overstock. The dividers in the compartments can accept a variety of label widths and sizes to help with this type of system.
PROBLEM 5: Your product line is growing and you will be continually adding new products.
Growth is a good thing in most businesses, but can be difficult if the additional items added to your product line are not included in your planning. This usually leads to the disruption of your regular storage system and inefficient temporary options.
SOLUTIONS: You can factor in growth with modular drawers in a number of ways. For items that need to be grouped with other similar items, we can leave space in drawers to allow for the addition of new items in that group. An analysis of your product mix will dictate how much space should be made available, but typically 20% of the space in a drawer can be reserved in high growth markets.
With the conversion of standard shelving to modular drawers in shelving, planning for growth is easier. Drawer sets can be added in groups from 18" to 48" high. So, typically you could start with 24" of drawers in a shelving unit (say, 6 drawers @ 4" face) and add another 12" or 24" of drawers as the need arises.
When converting to modular drawers, because of the efficiency of the drawer system, there will typically be empty shelving units left at the end of the process. These can be used for bulk storage or overstock and then converted to drawers in shelving when the existing system has reached its capacity.
These are just some of the ideas that you can use to plan for the future and ensure that your storage system will adapt as your business grows and changes. Call us with any questions you have about your specific storage problems.

gonna get real bad for AAPL shareholder is the stock is rolling over there as a lower shoulder. Perhaps AMZN's strategy is paying off. Really is spectacular outperformance of AMZN stock now versus AAPL ever since the IPAD min intro.
