The Upper Cambrian of North America is punctuated by three sharply defined mass extinction horizons which appear to represent isochronous surfaces (Palmer, 1984).
They separate iterative evolutionary sequences in the history of
non-agnostid trilobites and are known as biomeres (which are
essentially stages; see Palmer, 1984; and Westrop and
Ludvigsen, 1987, for discussion). At least two of the trilobite mass
extinctions can be recognized in exposures in Yellowstone
National Park. Current hypotheses put forth to explain the
extinctions include marine cooling, anoxia (Palmer, 1984),
marine regression (Lochman-Balk, 1971), and biofacies
shifts during transgression (Westrop and Ludvigsen, 1987).
Previous hypotheses that lack supporting evidence include
terrestrial heating and extraterrestrial impact (Palmer, 1984) and thus some combination of earth-bound causes seems most plausible.
Significant changes in the pattern of sedimentation across biomere boundaries provide important clues that may be used to falsify hypotheses of the extinctions. This is because facies changes observed in vertical stratigraphic sections must reflect local or regional changes in climate, sea level, subsidence and sediment supply. The focus of this paper is the nature of sedimentation patterns across the extinction events that mark the boundaries of the Pterocephaliid biomere in Yellowstone and immediately surrounding areas. Saltzman et al. (1995) revealed significant facies changes across the Pterocephaliid-Ptychaspid biomere boundary in northwestern Wyoming. Deiss (1936), Grant (1965), and Ruppel (1972) have also studied these deposits at various levels of resolution. The primary objectives of this contribution are to: (1) develop a paleogeographic framework for strata deposited in Yellowstone National Park; and (2) integrate newly acquired biostratigraphic and chemostratigraphic data to better constrain the timing of significant stratal surfaces.

Geologic Framework
The Sauk transgression reached northwest Wyoming by Middle Cambrian time in response to a combination of eustatic sea-level rise and flexural bending of the cratonal edge. This initial transgression was marked by deposition of coarse clastic sediments of the Flathead Sandstone over Precambrian basement rocks. Subsequent deposition is characterized by large-scale alternations of fine-grained siliciclastic and carbonate strata. In Yellowstone National Park, the base of the Pterocephaliid biomere is within the uppermost beds of the massive cliff-forming Pilgrim Limestone (Deiss, 1936; Grant, 1965; Ruppel, 1972). This unit is abruptly overlain by the recessive Dry Creek Shale which grades into the carbonates of the Snowy Range (Open Door) Formation. The Pterocephaliid-Ptychaspid biomere boundary, corresponding to the transition between the Elvinia and Taenicephalus Zones, occurs within the Snowy Range (Open Door) Formation. Upper Cambrian strata are unconformably overlain by Middle Ordovician strata in Yellowstone.
Lithofacies Associations
Two sections of mixed carbonate-siliciclastic strata were logged for this study in Yellowstone National Park (Figure 1) at Three Rivers Peak and on the Buffalo Plateau. The sections represent two distinct mappable units: (1) a succession of thrombolite boundstone, shale and flat-pebble conglomerate on the Buffalo Plateau which is similar to the Snowy Range Formation recognized by Grant (1965) in the Cooke City region; and (2) a succession of calcarenite, shale and lime mudstone at Three Rivers Peak which is similar to the Open Door Formation studied by Shaw and Deland (1955) further to the south in the Gros Ventre, Teton and Wind River Ranges. The Snowy Range Formation is generally poorly exposed on the flanks of the Beartooth uplift, where it overlies the cliff-forming Pilgrim Limestone of Crepicephalus and early Aphelaspis Zone age. In marked contrast, deposits of the Open Door Formation are spectacularly exposed in the Gallatin Range. It should be noted however, that the Three Rivers Peak strata, although grouped with the Open Door succession, does differ from the general pattern in that it contains anomalous beds of quartz sandstone at the base, a ~1-meter-thick brecciated olistostrome bed in the middle and abundant chert in the upper wackestone unit (Figure 2).
Sequence Stratigraphy
The change from quartz sandstone to a cherty wackestone at Three Rivers Peak is interpreted to reflect a relative rise in sea level. This is consistent with the pattern observed during this time period elsewhere (Osleger and Read, 1993; Saltzman et al., 1995). The section is however, unique in the presence of a brecciated olistostrome bed between the quartz sandstone and cherty wackestone. This bed may have formed as a result of a short-term, rapid sea-level fall that exposed the carbonate platform or, alternatively, may have formed in response to a seismic event that fractured the platform. The evidence for the drowning of the carbonate platform at the Buffalo Plateau locality is consistent with a tectonic event associated with a eustatic rise in sea levels rather than exposure of the carbonate platform in northwestern Wyoming. Nonetheless, the paleogeographic and bathymetric significance of the Three Rivers Peak breccia remains unclear at this time and future field and petrographic work is planned.

At Three Rivers Peak, trilobites assigned as cf. Pterocephalia sp. occur at the top of the brecciated olistostrome bed. This species marks the presence of the Elvinia Zone. Grant (1965) found specimens of Linnarssonella girtyi and Dellea suada which mark the presence of the Elvinia Zone several kilometers away at Crowfoot Ridge. Two meters above the Pterocephalia sp. horizon at Three Rivers Peak, trilobites assigned to Taenicephalus shumardi mark the Taenicephalus Zone. Grant (1965) collected specimens of Taenicephalus shumardi one meter above Elvinia Zone trilobites at Crowfoot Ridge. No trilobtes have yet been found on the Buffalo Plateau, although trilobite taxa found at similar sections in the nearby Cooke City area (Fox Creek, Swamp Lake, Wyoming Creek, Mill Creek and Clark Fork) indicate the presence of the Elvinia and Taenicephalus Zones.
Carbon-Isotope Stratigraphy
Changes in the d13C of limestones across the Pterocephaliid-Ptychaspid biomere boundary potentially provide a means of correlation, independent of biostratigraphy. Carbonate samples from Three Rivers Peak were analyzed for stable-isotope ratios. Homogeneous micrite identified in thin section was microsampled from polished slabs by using a microscope-mounted drill assembly. Care was taken to sample micrite with no visible cements or skeletal grains, although ~15% of the samples contain sparry calcite or skeletal material. Sample preparation procedures and analytical error are discussed further in Saltzman et al. (1995).
The d13C stratigraphic profile for sections in the Gros Ventre and Wind River Ranges were presented in Saltzman et al. (1995), along with profiles from two sections in the Great Basin. These profiles reveal a positive shift in d13C across the Pterocephaliid-Ptychaspid biomere boundary. The d13C stratigraphic profiles for the Three Rivers Peak section is presented in Figure 2. The highest d13C ratios recorded at Three Rivers Peak are in the Taenicephalus Zone, consistent with earlier studies of this trilobite zone. In addition, the most negative values occur at the biomere boundary (Irvingella major zone). These results are consistent with the biostratigraphic controls at Three Rivers Peak and suggest that the extinction event was associated with changes in carbon cycling (Saltzman et al., 1995). In particular, it seems that the burial ratio of organic carbon to carbonate carbon was increased following the extinction. This may have occurred as a result of increased nutrient fluxes to the surface oceans during sea level rise and subsequent increases in primary production. The significance of the minima at or near the extinction event is unclear. Either there was a sudden decrease in primary productivity related to initial toxicity of upwelling waters, or a sea-level change led to increased erosion of isotopically light organic carbon compared to its preservation before and after the event.
This study provides additional chemostratigraphic and sequence stratigraphic analyses from a section in Yellowstone National Park, consistent with the notion of a significant paleoceanographic event across the Pterocephaliid-Ptychaspid biomere boundary. Future studies in this area focused on better constraining the paleontologic, sedimentologic and chemostratigraphic contexts of this extinction event will be useful in testing hypotheses of extinction. In particular, investigation should focus on the nature of the unique brecciated beds at Three Rivers Peak.

Atkins, Ornish, Weight Watchers, Zone Diet--All Poop Out...
A new study has determined that fad diets like Atkins, Ornish, Weight Watchers, and the Zone produced only modest weight-loss with limited sustainability. Ian Ayres of the Freakonomics blog has more:
A randomized control year-long study looked at the impact of four different diets (Atkins, Ornish, Weight Watchers, and Zone Diets) on a group of overweight and obese subjects who were looking to lose weight. The diets produced only "modest" average weight loss of about 6.4 lbs (2.3 percent of original body weight) and found no statistically significant difference in weight loss for the four different diets.
People do a pretty good job of losing weight for about half a year, and then their weight tends to drift back toward their pre-diet number. The difficulty of sustaining weight loss can be seen in this figure taken from a 2-year randomized study of the Weight Watchers program:
Now, news like this is rather redundant. Diets programs like Atkins and Weight Watchers are nothing but hype—BIG wastes of time! According to Dr. Fuhrman diets like these are doomed to fail. He explains:
All those second rate diets fail, because without addressing adequate micronutrient density, people crave more food than their body requires for good health.
In spite of the more than $110 million consumers spend every day on diets and "reducing" programs (more than $40 billion per year), Americans are the most obese people in history. To be considered obese, more than one-third of a person's body must be made up of fat. A whopping 34 percent of all Americans are obese, and the problem is getting worse, not better.
Unfortunately, most weight-loss plans either don't work or offer only minor, usually temporary, benefits. There are plenty of "rules and counting" diets, diet drugs, high-protein programs, canned shakes, and other fads that might enable you to lose some weight for a period of time. The problem is that you can't stay on these programs forever.
Here's my UNEXPERT opinion. Ditch the "diet" and change your lifestyle. Hey, it worked for me—Healthy, with a Vengeance!

Does hip pain mean surgery?
Robert Karpman, MD, is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon at Banner Estrella Medical Center.
Question: I am having pain in my hip which is worse at night and I have difficulty sleeping on that side. Is this a sign of early arthritis in my hip?
Answer: Hip arthritis is often confused with other problems that can occur around the hip joint. A thorough clinical exam with your orthopedic specialist and a simple x-ray of the hip joint can determine the presence of hip arthritis, which is a loss of the cartilage which lines the hip socket. In most instances, patients with hip arthritis complain of groin pain which can migrate down the thigh and around the inside of the knee. This pain may be confused with a hernia or other abdominal problems, but is more typically associated with hip arthritis.
The pain you describe—worse in the evening and difficulty sleeping because of pressure on one side—is most likely bursitis of the hip. Bursitis is inflammation of the bursae, or small fluid-filled sacks, that are frequently located around bony prominences such as the hip, elbow, shoulder and knee. The bursae allow for smooth motion of muscles that overlay the bony prominence. In some cases, particularly with overuse such as climbing stairs, frequent bending down or even riding a bicycle, the hip bursa becomes inflamed and this causes pain, usually at the end of the day. This pain can be worse when pressure is placed on the area, such as when you sleep on your side.
For this type of pain, treatment is fairly simple and involves using ice over the area, over the counter non-steroidal medication such as Advil, Motrin or Aleve, and stretching exercises to relieve the pressure over the bursa.
A helpful hint for applying ice:
- Fill paper Dixie cups with water and place them in the freezer. This provides you with something to hold on to that won't freeze your fingers.
- Before applying the ice to the affected area, place a thin layer of Vaseline over the skin.
- Peel the paper around the cup and apply the ice directly on the tissues. The lubricant will take the sting away from the skin and allow for better absorption of the ice into the deeper tissues.
By utilizing this technique, you only need 10 to 15 minutes of ice application instead of a half-hour to 45 minutes to achieve the same effect.
Try the ice and over-the-counter recommendation for a month to see if this alleviates the pain. If the problems persist, see an orthopedic specialist. Your orthopedic specialist can recommend an occasional cortisone injection into the area of involvement, which can relieve pain for up to three months after the shot.

BRAC Discontinues Timing System!
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
January 28, 2013
As of January 22, 2013, the Board of Directors has elected to discontinue the use of the BRAC – D&L Sound Chip Timing System in light of recent circumstances that impact the price, support, production and provision of equipment necessary to maintain the system. In late November, 2012, Orion, the French company who manufactures the system, hardware and software, sold the distribution rights to their product to a Belgian company, and released their North American representative from his contract.
Since its inception, our chip-timing efforts have been compromised by technical issues (including those with power and radio frequencies), faulty equipment, and compounded by errors in race registration. Many of these issues have been addressed and improved in the last two years. Our intention, in accordance with the direction provided by the Club Council at our December Annual Meeting, was to re-deploy the timing system in a more efficient manner. However, the change in ownership and distribution of the system, which includes a price increase of nearly 300% for replacement chips, represents an expense that would severely impact the cost of promotion and participation in our races, and compromise the long-term financial health of our organization.
BRAC will continue to work with local service providers and our promoters to ensure the use of appropriate technology (which may include high-speed cameras and race-day chips as offered by professional timing companies) to provide accurate race results as well as a safe and positive racing experience to our members. Racing policy for Cup contests further defines requirements for Gold, Silver and Bronze events to ensure these races meet out standards and expectations.
We appreciate your cooperation over the last two years in our efforts to improve the sport for our athletes, officials, and event directors. We would also like to thank Doug Ashbaugh, Clint Bickmore, Yvonne van Gent, Chris McGee, and our officials for their dedication and thorough efforts in deploying and maintaining this system for the time that it was in use.

Chips can be returned through your club. For every ten chips collected, your club will receive a complimentary entry to the 2013 State Time Trial Championship. Please note that chips must be delivered to Yvonne by June 1 in order to qualify for this offer.
In addition, chips will be collected at events this spring.
Once again, thank you all for your patience and efforts over the last two years.

Shelf life of chips
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
What good is storing the timing chips when the majority of them were purchased approximately 2 years ago and they only have a 3-5 year shelf life on the battery. I'm glad we all paid the $35 and now must return the chips, but we're not getting a refund. I'm assuming that BRAC will look to sell this system with as many chips as possible to get the highest price as it'll be more attractive to a buyer with 1000 chips to go along with it.

Overall this is a very convenient hotel for the Carmel and Indianapolis, Indiana areas. This was our second stay and it met our expectations for the most part. A lower door jamb or weather stripping is needed on the external room door to enhance privacy and reduce noise from the hallway. In both times we have stayed here, orange juice did not happen at breakfast. On this stay, the attendant failed to fix the problem because the orange juice was not mixed properly. Please try harder. This was a busy Sunday morning and I'm very displeased with not having orange juice.

For the curious, most of the pictures were taken in winter 2006 with my Canon PowerShot A430, and most of those used the super-macro mode. The rest were taken with a Nikon D50. All were Photoshopped for color correction and contrast, but no changes beyond that have been made.

By Mary Kate Lau and Alex Carpenter, Sun Devil Communications
Sun Devil Alum Deirdre Cienki was a former Arizona State women's tennis player and English literature major who ventured off into broadcast and now works for ESPN Radio. While playing tennis at ASU Cienki interned for Fox Sport Arizona production department, the Arizona Diamondbacks and Cincinnati Reds media relations department . Later Cienki became involved in the MLB Advanced Media where she was part of the All-Star Game Activities, booked guests for the All-Star Game Fan Fest and helped with the production on the MLB.com studio set at the All-Star game. Sun Devil Athletics caught up with Deirdre Cienki and asked about her experience as an ASU athlete, how it helped her get where she is today, and what working at ESPN Radio is like.
Sun Devil Athletics: What made you pursue sports broadcasting?
Deirdre Cienki: It probably started when I was in high school. I went to a tennis boarding school in Florida and I was among some of the best athletes in the world. I kind of got a knack for picking their brains in terms of how I can improve as a tennis player. Then one day I asked a baseball player, 'Hey, why are you [pitching] this way? What's different about this approach?' You know just stuff that would help me improve as an athlete, and then I realized 'Hey, just in my normal every day-to-day life, I'm asking questions to high-performance athletes.' and maybe this is something I would be interested in doing once my college career is over. Then at Arizona State it started escalating a little more when I started doing my internships and recognizing 'Hey, I could make a career out of this.'
SDA: What's your daily routine like?
DC: Right now I split my time between our [ESPN] national radio talk shows and our remote play-by-play broadcasts. The main thing is developing content, like what we talk about on the air, guest booking, developing and executing show features, working with accounts and getting show feedback, that kind of thing.
SDA: When you do the guest bookings, do you get star struck sometimes?
DC: I wouldn't say I get star struck. A lot of times we don't meet the people we guest book. I'd say 75 percent of the time we just talk to them on the phone or we send a camera to them. We do have what we call a 'Car Wash' at ESPN, where high-profile athletes come in and spend the day at ESPN and they're booked from morning until afternoon going on all of our shows from Sports Center to First Take to Mike and Mike to Scott Van Pelt to The Herd and they do everything,.It's cool to see them but where I trained in high school was probably the top of the top for high profile athletes so having these guys around was just kind of normal for me.
SDA: Any funny stories about some of the ESPN personalities?
DC: Oh yeah a lot of stories, I don't even know what to share. I think probably the biggest thing I'd say is everyone is so much fun and so nice. You see these personalities on TV and on radio and they are sports fans just like us. A lot of people look at them as just heads on a screen but they are just as big of sports fans as the people that watch them. They make work fun. They are so awesome to be around, but they work hard. It takes a lot of work to put on these shows, and people get mad at things they say or if they're wrong about a prediction but they are just like you and I.
SDA: As a female working in sports broadcast you were able to overcome some adversity, what are some obstacles you've faced and how do you deal with that?
DC: I think we all play a big part in determining how we're perceived and for me, I got in touch with a lot of great female broadcasters and producers out here at ESPN that set such a good example for me. I think we have to be conscious of the decisions that we make on a day-to-day basis in order to make sure [women] are perceived correctly. At the end of the day, we can't control what people say about us, or how they perceive us or make misjudgments because you're an attractive female or just a female in general in a locker room. But at the end of the day, if you focus on what you're doing and make good decisions, you'll be fine.
SDA: You don't only work in sports. You also did some business blogging as well for Huffington Post. How did that start?
DC: Arianna Huffington is good friends with the guy I originally sent a letter to at ESPN, which is how I got my job. She was on [the ESPN] campus visiting one day and I met her, had a brief conversation with her and that's how I got into that field. My father is in business and my mom is a lawyer and I always said those are two places I'm not interested in going into and it wasn't something I was interested in doing. But now that I'm at ESPN, in terms of what my goals are and what I want to do, I want to lead an organization and I'm really interested in the business side of sports and what goes into an organization from things like a profit standpoint and figuring out how to get the best out of employees. That's definitely a direction I want to go into when it comes to sports.
SDA: How do you think ASU prepared you for your career academically?
DC: It's funny, I've had people ask me, 'if you could do it again would you still go to ASU?' In a heartbeat. Arizona State was huge in my preparation for where I am right now, from the standpoint of the Athletic Department to academics to teamwork to time management and prioritization. The Athletic Department definitely helped set me up to be prepared for the real world once I left ASU.
SDA: How did being a student-athlete prepare you for a career?
DC: I think that's kind of along the same line from the English department helping me lock down internships and making sure that I could do my internships and still be on the team and still have a big part in the Athletic Department. My academic adviser, Stephanie [Viola] was awesome in making sure I could do online classes in order to be able to do my internship while having practice in the morning or the afternoon and making sure my schedule was flexible. [ASU head coach] Sheila McInerney recognized my ambitions and goals. She always had a quote she would say, 'People always say we're preparing you for the real world, well you're in the real world right now.' She would say 'You're responsible for your schedule, making sure you're at practice on time. If you want to do other things… you can do it but you have to make it work. It's on you. We'll provide you with the services to make it possible but you have to do it. If that means waking up at 5 in the morning to get a workout in and then going to an internship or go student teach and then go to practice in the afternoon.' She made it so that we could be successful, but we had to prioritize our schedule and make sure we were on top of everything.
SDA: What was your favorite experience as a Sun Devil?
DC: Oh man anytime we beat the Wildcats! Those are definitely the best memories.

Men's Cross Country Takes 22nd at NCAAs

One morning in late September, I found myself backstage at the "Annual Day of Peace" in Covington, KY—an event that kicks off October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. I'd been asked to perform a song I wrote about my family's history of domestic violence, and was listening as speakers urged the young audience to find—and use—their voices to prevent violence. I wondered how many listeners were writers, performers, artists, and how many might go on to use their art as voice, changing their communities in the process.
Leaving that day and re-entering the media binge on the word "shutdown," I couldn't help thinking about writers around the globe: how we use our voices; whether (and how) we're heard. I also couldn't help thinking of Audre Lorde:
We lose our history so easily, what is not predigested for us by the New York Times, or the Amsterdam News, or Time magazine. Maybe because we do not listen to our poets…
Creative writing has the potential to change perceptions, elevate public discourse, inform, protest, and/or bring awareness to difficult issues and situations. Could we do more with this potential? Should we?
Before anyone gets politi-scared, hark! I don't believe writers should start "politicizing" all our work, or Woodie-Guthrie-ing our poems for the greater good. But I do believe that if we're moved by any current economic, cultural, political, and/or social suffering, there's a place for us—and our craft—in the fray.
But how? Where? If you're interested in finding your writerly place in this kind of work, here are three steps even non-"activist" writers can take to dive in:
- Identify Our Stories
- Re-imagine "Going Public," and
- Chuck "Art for Art's Sake."

Price: $11.95
Explore the exhilarating majesty and mystique of Southeast Alaska with National Geographic's Alaska's Inside Passage Destination Map. The Inside Passage is a meandering waterway formed by a myriad of islands that lie between the North Pacific Ocean and the quieter waters along the coast. At its heart is the Tongass National Forest, the largest national forest in the United States which at a staggering 16.8 million acres contains 19 designated wilderness areas and the Admiralty Island and Misty Fiords National Monuments.
This remarkable region of Alaska boasts unparalleled scenery and countless opportunities to experience some of Alaska's most amazing and diverse wildlife as well as its rich native culture and history. Visitors can view the ever-changing landscape of Glacier Bay from passenger ships or wind through Tongass National Forest in a sea kayak. Few roads exist in the region so travel is mainly done by boat or seaplane, both of which allow for a greater opportunity to absorb the icy peaks, spruce-hemlock rain forests, and azure waters.
The front side of Alaska's Inside Passage reveals a striking map of the region from the northern reaches of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve south to Prince of Wales Island. Information about the islands and other land features, wildlife viewing and safety, the weather, the tides and more is included.
The reverse side of the map provides invaluable content for travelers with extensive descriptions of points of interest and information about tours, outfitters, visitor associations, lodging, the geology of the region, and local indigenous cultures. A National Parks chart includes services offered and contact information for each park, and an additional map of the entire state of Alaska provides context for the region.
Destination Maps combine finely detailed maps with fascinating and practical travel information. Maps feature a large-scale city map, richly layered with tourist and business travel locations and information. 3-D styled drawings provide you with instant identification of famous buildings and landmarks. The reverse side includes regional maps, top attractions, airport diagrams, travel tips, transit maps and an extensive index to streets, cities, neighborhoods, parks, points of interest, museums, monuments, government buildings, subway stations, hotels, and more. Multi-language legends are included on each map.

Don't Hassle The Hoff
I just wanted to note on this blog that Trevor Hoffman recorded his 600th major league save a few days ago, becoming the first player ever to achieve such a number. He struggled mightily (even being replaced in the role for a large portion of the season in Milwaukee) to achieve the milestone, but I'm glad he finally got there.
With all the lavish attention thrown towards Mariano Rivera as the "greatest closer of all-time", please don't forget about Hoffman. He never got the postseason "proving ground" opportunities like Mo did, but over the long haul he's been just as good. He's slowed down a bit the last few years, but during his prime in San Diego he was as close to a sure thing as existed.
Man, all this talk of closers makes me want to hear these chords ripping through Target Field for the first time (hopefully next season!):
1 Comment
I enjoyed reading your post. Trevor is a class act.

Hello and welcome to The Nature Explorers imagekind galleries, I'm Michael C. Clark Naturalist, Explorer, and Cinematographer. My compañero Loganapithicus and I travel the world in search of unique ecosystems to explore and document cinéma-vérité style. Our expeditions usually take place in an area of five square miles or less within a duration of 7-21 days and we focus on the entire ecosystem plants, animals, geology, weather, and more. We do not specifically seek out, bait, or wait for species, we film what we encounter as we explore the ecosystem on foot.
The purpose of our expeditions is to help in homo sapiens ceaseless quest for knowledge by documenting the ecosystems as they are forever changing with plant Earth as they have for billions of years. Our ecosystem videos can be viewed FREE by anyone and used for nonprofit educational instruction and testing purposes as well as scientific study of the ecosystems. Therefore we have left out narrations and used music in the background when no natural sound is available, ultimately leaving the videos for self interpretation, individual discovery, and for professors to explain or show as examples in a classroom setting.
These video stills are pictures taken from the expedition videos in 2011 and 2012 shot in California, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Colorado. View expedition videos, listen to soundtracks, and more FREE at our website.

|WAC All-Tournament
FRESNO, Calif. –
After the conclusion of the Western Athletic Conference Soccer Tournament
Sunday, two University of Idaho players, Amber Pimley and Christine Leathem,
were recognized on the WAC All-Tournament Team.
"It's great when you get recognized in that quality of a
tournament, and it's nice that it's players who don't always get recognized, purely
because of their positions," Idaho head coach Pete Showler said of the honors.
Pimley is a central midfielder from Camarillo, Calif.
(Adolfo Camarillo HS). While primarily a defensive-minded mid, the junior erupted
for a pair of scores to lead Idaho's come-from-behind 2-1 victory over San Jose
State in the quarterfinal round. Pimley earned her first career game-winner and
first career multi-goal game in the process.
Leathem is a junior center back from Surrey, B.C., Canada
(Sullivan Heights Secondary). She led the Idaho back line through a pair of
gritty matches and stood out in the middle of the defense. Leathem and the Vandal
defense held strong against a hard-charging SJSU offense in the final 60
minutes to preserve the team's first WAC Tournament win, then stifled a potent
Utah State offense for a majority of play in the semifinal.
"Amber coming through with two goals was just phenomenal,
and Christine has just been so consistent, and she's played from the back,
stepped in and started the offense many a time," Showler said. "It's justly
rewarded. I'm glad that it's seen at this level and this stage, and it's
nothing they didn't fully deserve."
Pimley and Leathem helped the team to an 8-11-3 overall
record and 3-3-1 WAC tally, which gave the team its second-consecutive WAC
Tournament bid. Thursday's quarterfinal win was the first conference tournament
win in program history. The duo also becomes the first WAC All-Tournament honorees
in program history.
Utah State, which claimed the tournament title with a 1-0
win over second-seeded Fresno State on Sunday, put four players on the All-Tournament
Team, including MVP Molli Merrill. The Bulldogs added three honorees, while
Idaho and New Mexico State had two selections apiece.

This week in Salt Lake City is a tad slower than usual, but there are still some worthwhile options that should compel you to get of the couch and out of the house.
On Tuesday night, Grouplove, pictured above, headlines a Tuesday night concert at The State Room. Reptar is the opener. Grouplove should appeal to fans of pop-friendly rock. These guys have opened for the soon-to-be huge Florence and the Machine. Grouplove just might wind up that big themselves. Tickets are $15 and remain on sale at thestateroomslc.com.
On Monday night, the Mountain West Ballet Company presents "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at Sandy City Ampitheater. Tickets are available at smithstix.com.
Later this week, on Wednesday the eclectic indie-rockers Broncho and Bad Weather California will bring their highly energized sounds to Kilby Court. BWC is touring behind "Sunkissed," which is punky souding, upbeat album that should translate well live. Tickets remain available through 24tix.com.
And also Wednesday, but a bit later in the night at The Urban Lounge, New York's Here We Go Magic bring their hip indie sounds through. This has the potential to be the coolest show of the week. Hospitality and L'annarchiste are the openers. Tickets remain available at 24tix.com.
And finally Wednesday, Ballet West's production of Innovations 2012 will display some cutting-edge choreography in the first of four performances. This one begins at 7:30 p.m. and tickets remain on sale through arttix.org.

Dr. Matthis teaches courses in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics division in the Graduate School of Education.
Brenda Matthis
Professional Title: Associate Professor
Areas of Academic Focus and Expertise: Emergent technologies and disabilities; software design; educational software; 21st century educational tools; uses of iPads for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Area of Work and Concentration at Lesley: Educational technology; software design; robotics
Representative List of Recent Courses Taught: Emerging Technologies; 21st Century Teaching: Supporting All Learners with Technology; Introduction to Educational Robotics
Education: BBA, University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee; EdM, Harvard University; EdD, Harvard University
During Dr. Matthis's tenure as the director of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Division, she said, "One of the best parts of directing such a great program is teaching some of the courses in it. There's always a fresh perspective gained by discussing the educational challenges of bringing 21st century tools to the classroom with teachers who are challenged with that goal. At the same time I'm fully aware that as the guardian of the program, I'm charged with supporting educators of educators and that's a large responsibility, and I love that as well. A software designer for 19 years, Dr. Matthis received her master and doctorate degrees in education from Harvard University, focusing on the social construction of educational software. In 2005-2006, Dr. Matthis lived in Japan as a Fulbright scholar, lecturing on special education in U.S. and Universal Design for Learning (UDL); and researching the use of technology with undergraduate, graduate, and in-service teachers. "One the highlights of my career so far is working with CAST and learning how to implement Universal Design for Learning. It's a teaching and learning methodology for our time. There's nothing more important at this moment in education than teaching every student in the classroom so that everyone gets the content, not just those who can access the text easily."In 2010, Dr. Matthis launched the 21st Century Micro-Loan Technology Kit for Teachers in Title I Schools Project as a result of her observation that there are so many teachers with little to no funding for technology but who are anxious to bring their teaching into the 21st century. The first two grantees will be chosen in December. Dr. Matthis's latest research is the use of iPads for students with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Why do I need an interpreter?
Vicki Yepiz is the manager of Language & Cultural Services at Banner Estrella Medical Center.
Question: When I was admitted to the hospital, they suggested I use one of the hospital's Spanish Interpreters, even though I had a family member with me who spoke Spanish. Why?
Answer: To provide the best quality care, it is important that nurses and physicians use the services of a professional medical interpreter who has been specially trained and certified in interpreting medical terminology in a hospital setting. This ensures accurate communication across cultural differences, allowing the nurse and physicians to speak as to the exact nature of the problem without worrying that the patient is getting only half of the information.
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits exclusion from services and discrimination on grounds of race, color, and national origin among others. This extends to people with non- or limited English proficiency, which is why having trained medical interpreters on site at the hospital protects the patient as well as the health care provider. It is a matter of trust—patients trust that the caregivers will provide them the best possible care regardless of their race, color or natural origin.
The use of a trained, professional medical interpreter helps us to ensure that patients receive accurate communication by enabling the patient to know precisely what each health care provider or hospital staff member has said. The patient also benefits in that the medical interpreter allows them to speak directly to the health care provider without difficulty. This relationship provides patient confidentially to honor the private and personal nature of the interaction between physician and patient and maintains trust among all parties. In addition, because a family member or friend may have a bias, having a trained medical interpreter eliminates any bias or preference that may create conflict of interest when it comes to a patient's care.
While not all hospitals provide in-person Spanish interpreters, all hospitals contract for over-the-phone interpreter services and Video Remote interpreting. Banner Estrella provides in-person Spanish interpreters and also contracts for these services to provide interpretation to patients who speak languages other than Spanish and encourages them to use these services during their stay, as well.
I hope this explanation helps you understand why hospitals support the use of professional interpreters. They exist because they really do help ensure that you get the best care possible while you're in the hospital.

Animal Tales - N.C. anti-puppy mill bill introduced
Published: Friday, April 12, 2013 at 10:22 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 12, 2013 at 10:22 a.m.
A press release this morning from the Humane Society of the US and the ASPCA reports a new bill has been introduced in the North Carolina General Assembly – to regulate dog breeding and crack down on puppy mills.
Thousands of dogs are suffering today and this suffering has gone on for decades in North Carolina puppy mills. It is long past time for this legislation to become law. Efforts to pass regulations on dog breeding have failed in years past in North Carolina.
I read over HB 930 and find it to be balanced and reasonable. There is nothing excessive or prohibitive for quality breeders. Quality breeders already provide at least the minimum standards of care outlined in this bill.
The bill will be attacked by some groups and individuals, as somehow a violation of property rights or an attack on breeders – or some other fictitious issue. All any reasonable person needs to do is read the bill.
Polls are showing an extremely high level of support from the citizens of North Carolina for regulations on dog breeding, to provide minimum standards of care. This is a clear case of where the will of the people and the welfare of animals should take precedence over the lobbying efforts of special interest groups.
This should be the year when animal welfare in the state of North Carolina steps into the 21st Century.

The only pocket knife I ever need now...
By Good Ol' Dave
from Somewhere in New England
I am the rare breed who works in a computer server room during the day while hiking in the deep woods after hours, and I needed a handy tool that could work in both environments...and this definitely does the trick. The screwdrivers take care of the screws and fasteners on our racks and the knife removes old zip ties with ease, while the knife cuts off small branches so I can make a rudimentary walking stick. I even used the screwdriver to take a Christmas decoration apart to fix the batteries. The only complaint I have is that the description said this knife contained a straight pin, which would have been VERY handy to dig out those [censored] metal flakes that embedded themselves into my skin when I picked up that rusty pipe. It does not. An easy fix for that is to store a straight pin underneath the fish hook remover, a tool which I myself will never use. It may be cheaper elsewhere but I am happy to by it from NG and send them a few extra bucks.

STANFORD, Calif. – A total of 14 Stanford varsity athletic teams have received Division I Academic Progress Rate Public Recognition Awards from the NCAA, in an announcement made Wednesday. It is the highest total for Cardinal teams since the NCAA began tracking the data in 2004-05, surpassing last year's number of 13.
These 14 teams posted multi-year APR scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. Stanford produced nearly half of the Pac-12 Conference total with the other 11 institutions combining for 17 awards.
Cardinal programs to receive the Public Recognition Awards are: baseball, men's basketball, women's basketball, football, men's golf, women's golf, men's soccer, softball, men's tennis, men's volleyball, women's volleyball, men's water polo, women's water polo and wrestling.
While Stanford boasts four straight Bowl Championship Series appearances on the field, the Cardinal football program was also in elite company in the classroom, where it was one of just 13 FBS football schools to earn public recognition. Stanford is the only Pac-12 representative in the sport.
In baseball, the Cardinal is among just 34 programs and one of three in the Pac-12 to earn recognition.
In men's basketball, the Cardinal is among 40 programs to earn recognition and is the only Pac-12 selection. In women's basketball, the Cardinal is one of just two Pac-12 representatives amidst 43 programs nationwide.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete. The APR includes eligibility, retention and graduation in the calculation and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport. High-performing teams receiving awards posted APR scores ranging from 977 to a perfect 1,000.
Stanford is one of 113 schools nationwide to earn at least one Public Recognition Awards all nine years of the program.
Multiyear APRs for all Division I sports teams, including the teams receiving public recognition, will be announced May 14.

What happens after the EEG?
Once the test is complete, the electrodes will be removed and the glue washed off with warm water and a washcloth. Sometimes, all the glue will not come off and you may need to wash your child's hair at home.
The technologist or nurse will give you further instructions and tell you when you and your child may leave.
Are there any risks involved with the procedure?
Experts in neurology have studied EEG for many years and report that it is a safe procedure, with no apparent risks.
Who evaluates the EEG recordings?
A neurologist will read the EEG and then talk to your child's physician about the results.

Just to lighten up your Wednesday…
It appears Tom Brady's hairstylist was either channeling the Steve Nash or Justin Bieber in preparation for Tom Brady's courtside appearance at the Boston Celtics Game 3.
Considering Tom Brady has showed an affinity for the fashion industry (GQ covers and that little matter of being married to a supermodel, Gisele), we'll guess the teen trendsetter Justin Bieber.
The Bieber fever is spreading everywhere. I blame this on Bieber's mentor and part-time Cleveland Cavaliers owner Usher.

I haven't really played video games since I was fifteen
Well, I open my eyes and I see things. I've seen spirits moving through the walls. I've seen a vortex coming through the wall. I've seen amorphous little balls of light bouncing all around in the front yard through the window. I've seen giant bugs on the floor. I was in a hotel room in Amarillo, Texas, and all I remember is standing on the bed and seeing the whole wall in front of me filled with lights that were [makes popping sound] popping like popcorn out of the wall. Then I'll wake up and I go "Wow, I was standing on my bed and staring at this wall."
it's been awhile for me, i think the last time i really PLAYED a video game for more than like one night was around christmas time 2009. i've been in the mood to play a final fantasy game again though lately, but i dont have any of my games or consoles anymore.
that's tragic
video games are like the icing on the cake of home entertainment. Movies? Books? Productivity? Fuck em all I have a princess to save!!!
It mean, it's sometimes cool to see them as a movie, but I'd rather play them. and if it's going to be a movie, have the director and actors play the game at the very least.

Milford Memorial Hospital's parent company recently was named one of seven winners of Minority Nurse Magazine's online first Take Pride Campaign.
The program recognizes hospitals and health care facilities that excel at encouraging diversity, recruiting and retaining minority employees and creates inclusive work environments.
In 2008, Bayhealth established a 20-member diversity committee made up of staff from various disciplines that regularly discusses diversity-related issues at Milford Memorial and Kent General hospitals.
A recent partnership with Delaware State University in Dover also resulted in the 2012 Delaware Cultural Competency Education Series, which educates health care providers about the ways culture influences disease.
The diversity committee and the university also are collaborating on a cultural awareness survey that will be presented at the Bayhealth Nursing Research Conference in April.

A training class to educate the construction industry about the revised
Oregon rules for steel erection is coming to Salem in February.
The Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division (Oregon OSHA) developed
the FREE training to provide labor, management and government agencies

in effect in April 2002. The FREE course is scheduled to be in Salem on
February 11 from 8:00am to Noon in Training Room 'C' of the Labor and
Industries Building, 350 Winter Street NE is downtown Salem.
Oregon OSHA implemented substantial changes to the Steel Erection standard
(also known as Chapter
437, Division 3, Subdivision R of the Oregon Administrative Rules)
in 2002, adopting changes which included fall-protection requirements
for each worker performing their duties at or above ten feet off the ground.
The class will review the entire standard, including site-specific planning,
structural steel assembly, systems-engineered metal buildings and fall
The training class is a service of the Joint Emphasis Program (JEP) created
by Oregon OSHA to reduce construction injuries and fatalities through
education and partnerships. Classes in the Steel Erection standard are
also scheduled for Eugene during March.
Oregon OSHA offers a variety of resources and consultation services to
help Oregon employers create safer workplaces and reduce the number of
injuries which occur at work. More information and resources are available

Since, we couldn't fit all of the info about the new trust in the photo gallery section, we decided to break it down in this blog.
Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young started the foundation to help kids with physical, emotional and financial challenges. Steve and Barb Young hosted the gala for VIPs and put tons of work into raising money for the new project.
The new trust is in memory of Sophie Barton, a local singer-songwriter who volunteered regularly with Primary Children's Hospital, and will fund music therapy rooms called Sophie's Places at hospitals starting with Primary Children's in SLC. More than $150,000 has already been raised for the project.
At Regan's show, guests saw a short video about Sophie's Trust and to raise awareness of the power of music therapy.
"We honor Sophie's life and commitment to music through the creation of Sophie's Trust," said Steve Young in a recent press release. "We are so grateful for the generosity of the amazingly talented Brian Regan to help us celebrate Sophie's life and this important new project for Forever Young, and we hope people will catch the vision and help us bring the healing power of music to hospitals across the country and around the world."
