Texas Tech Volleyball Adds Four on Signing Day
Feb. 3, 2000
Texas Tech volleyball coach Jeff Nelson announced today the addition of four athletes that will join the Red Raider program next fall. For the first time in Nelson's tenure, all four recruits played in the state of Texas, and three of the four athletes are Texas natives. The class of 2004 features setter Laura Grote (Austin), outside hitter Angela Mooney (Lubbock), middle blocker/outside hitter Jana Kubalova (Bryson) and defensive specialist/outside hitter Courtney Shambaugh (Arlington).
Coach Nelson and the volleyball staff are looking forward to working with the new additions. Nelson commented, "I'm really excited that the best kids in Texas are looking at us and wanting to play at Texas Tech."
Leading the way is Lubbock Monterey stand-out Angela Mooney. Mooney, a 5-11 outside hitter, was named the city's player of the year by the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal and is a two-time All-American at the 16 and 18-under levels. She is a two-time District 3-5A MVP and could make an immediate impact on Red Raider volleyball.
Laura Grote, a 5-10 setter from Austin, is a two-time All-State selection and was named Gatorade Circle of Champions Player of the Year in Texas. Grote is listed as an outstanding Division I prospect and was chosen as the MVP of the 1999 state tournament.
Jana Kubalova, a Slovakia native, was named first team All-State and district MVP. Kubalova is a very physical and athletic player that brings international experience to Coach Nelson's team.
Courtney Shambaugh of Lamar High School in Arlington rounds out the roster. Shambaugh, a 5-8 defensive specialist/outside hitter, was named top defensive player by the Arlington Star-Telegram and Arlington Morning News while playing at Lamar High School.

"I'm especially excited for her to be from Lubbock. It's great and exciting that she is from here and played in the club program. It shows kids, that if you play and work hard, you can play here. It creates a local interest that we have been trying to develop."

College of Arts & Sciences The Graduate Division Professional and Liberal Education
Imagine you inhabit a world, three centuries from now, in which advances in biology and technology allow human beings to 'upgrade' their brains to become superintelligent beings. You choose to resist these neural enhancements, but you are conflicted about your decision. You cannot understand the thoughts of enhanced humans without undergoing the upgrades yourself, but you are also plagued by the possibility that their way of thinking could be flawed.
Susan Schneider, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, poses this conundrum in the introduction to her new edited volume, Science Fiction and Philosophy. She writes, "Is there some sort of neutral vantage point or at least a set of plausible principles with which to guide you in framing a response to such a challenge?" The scenario is one of many presented by the readings in Schneider's book that challenge readers to engage in thought experiments—hypothetical situations that often exceed the bounds of physical reality but can be philosophically enlightening.
Many of the philosophical questions addressed in Science Fiction and Philosophy are age-old—the nature of knowledge, of the external world, of personhood—but they are approached through thought experiments borrowed from the world of science fiction. Schneider believes that the perspectives science fiction brings to bear on philosophical questions grow increasingly relevant as advances in areas like neuroscience and technology add to and complicate our knowledge of ourselves and the world around us.
"What is the nature of the mind if the physical brain extends to encompass things we don't traditionally think of as part of our brain but become seamlessly interwoven with us?" - Susan Schneider
"As cognitive science began to develop," she says, "a lot of science fiction seemed to veer into science fact with respect to the brain. The same is true in physics—physicists talk about time travel in the context of relativity theory for example. It's interesting to consider these issues in the context of science fiction thought experiments that also provoke thought about where the future is going."
To examine the reality of the external world, for example, Science Fiction and Philosophy offers not only Plato's Allegory of the Cave, but also an essay by David Chalmers about the science fiction blockbuster The Matrix. Ideas of free will and the nature of persons are considered in the context of the Computational Theory of Mind (CTM)—the proposition, based in cognitive science, that one's mind is essentially a program running on the hardware of the brain. The book also explores artificial intelligence, the nature of space and time, and the new ethical and political questions generated by our changing understanding of these issues.
In her own essay for the book, "Mindscan: Transcending and Enhancing the Human Brain," Schneider draws from her work in the philosophy of mind, which explores how the mind relates to the world that science uncovers. She considers whether CTM supports the case for radical human enhancement through technology.
"Suppose that one day we can have working memory enhancements or artificial connections to the internet inserted in our retinas," Schneider speculates. "What is the nature of the mind if the physical brain extends to encompass things we don't traditionally think of as part of our brain but become seamlessly interwoven with us?" These up and coming realities, Schneider explains, seem to favor CTM, which proposes that individuals are informational patterns and that the medium—artificial or organic—on which these patterns are instantiated does not play a part in defining personhood.
Schneider's essay interrogates the plausibility of this theory by using, as a thought experiment, Robert Sawyer's science fiction novel Mindscan. She ponders questions such as, if persons are patterns, might enhancements that cause radical shifts to these patterns be tantamount to suicide? Or, if people's patterns are duplicated and uploaded onto artificial brains, such as that of an android, how do they remain individuals, unique and separate from their replications?
Schneider believes that a synthesis between cognitive science and philosophy is necessary to achieve an understanding of the mind that is complete enough to address such quandaries. "My own view on the nature of personhood and mind is that the conception put forth by cognitive science needs a lot of philosophical work," she says, "and I'm reworking the philosophical commitments of CTM to address what I see as some of the problems."
At Penn, Schneider is a member of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, the Institute for Research in Cognitive Science, and the newly established Center for Neuroscience and Society, which plays an important role in facilitating cross-disciplinary research that addresses the impact neuroscience makes on society.
"The new center," Schneider says, "will be an important venue for interdisciplinary debates on what neuroscience says about timeless philosophical questions concerning the nature of persons and their minds, and relatedly, whether we should enhance our mental lives via neurotechnologies. It's extraordinarily important to think now about these issues because scientific innovations and discoveries concerning the brain and artificial intelligence exponentially increase and complicate the ethical questions that we will face in the future."

Chelan Fire District 7 board of commissioners will hear a presentation and recommendation from a Citizen Advisory Committee regarding the potential building of two fire stations along the south shore during their Wednesday, April 18th board meeting.
Fire Chief, Tim Lemon says the recommendation will likely involve construction beginning as early as this year, and will revolve around the outcome of recent meetings with architects as well as the development of a possible funding model.
The district owns a 5-acre parcel near the Lake Chelan Yacht Club, about nine miles up the South Lakeshore Road. It also has a tentative agreement to acquire property near Pat and Mike's.
The district currently has three satellite stations in addition to its main fire hall in Chelan, one in the UnionValley area, one in ChelanFalls and another near the ChelanAirport.
The board of commissioners will meet Wednesday at 7PM at the Chelan Fire Station meeting room on East Wapato."CLICK HERE" for Audio

New Stock Coverage: Energizer Keeps Going and Going and Going...
Justin Sharon
Wall Street ratings agencies set the tone for today's stock market.
$100 bill redesign
, an event that last occurred in 1996, seems to always coincide with government shutdowns. And no wonder — with Uncle Sam's current inaction
costing us $160 million a day
, America must print money ever more prolifically. (Even if the action in
Franklin Resources
(NYSE:BEN), which fell 1.65% yesterday and is assigned a decidedly ho-hum analyst initiation this morning, suggests it is not always about the Benjamins.) Congress, having long ago weighed in on
titanic matters like TV volume
, now
turns its undivided attention to beer
. Seriously, guys, don't sweat the small stuff. With Washingtonian gridlock entering its second week,
Dow Industrials
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) dropped for a tenth time in 13 sessions to fall back below 15,000.
For those who prefer old-school philately to newly minted numismatics,
(NASDAQ:STMP) slumped 3.98%. However, the Post Office, showing a degree of entrepreneurship not hitherto associated with it, clearly wants to help shareholders
turn that frown upside down
. Some equities did buck a bad day.
Dunkin' Brands
(NASDAQ:DNKN), increasingly eschewing its eponymous donuts in favor of java, gained 1.03% as a new study showed
coffee is better than sex
. And an
analyst upgrade
made money talk at
Apple Inc.
(NASDAQ:AAPL), specifically in the dulcet tones of a
suburban Atlanta housewife who moonlights as Siri
Economic data remains on hiatus due to the government shutdown, but
Yum Brands
(NYSE:YUM), and
Wolverine World Wide
(NYSE:WWW) all unofficially usher in third-quarter earnings season when they release results today.
Alimera Sciences
(NASDAQ:ALIM): Northland Capital starts the small cap at an Outperform. Its price objective is $5.
: ISI Group covers dual Dow members
Goldman Sachs
(NYSE:GS) (Neutral) and
JPMorgan Chase
(NYSE:JPM) (Buy).
Charter Communications
(NASDAQ:CHTR): Shares are covered with a Buy opinion and $170 target price with Wunderlich.
Chefs' Warehouse
(NASDAQ:CHEF): CHEF is a Buy at Jefferies, whose target is $28.
Consumer Products
Energizer Holdings, Inc.
(NYSE:ENR), best known for
its indefatigable bunny
, is assigned an upbeat Outperform with Wells Fargo. The company's other brands include Banana Boat, Hawaiian Tropic, Playtex, and Wet Ones. Meanwhile Kleenex maker
(NYSE: KMB) is a Market Perform.
(NYSE:BEN) BEN gets begun with a Neutral at ISI Group.
: Jefferies has Holds on
(NYSE:KR) ($45 objective),
(NYSE:SWY), and
The Fresh Market
(NASDAQ:TFM) ($54.) It begins Buy-rated research, and a $70 price target, on
Whole Foods
Newell Rubbermaid
(NYSE:NWL): NWL is a new Outperform with Wells Fargo.
Pharmacy Stocks
CVS Caremark
(NYSE:CVS) is covered with a Buy and $71 target at Jefferies. The bank has Holds on
Rite Aid
(NYSE:RAD) and
(NYSE:WAG), rolling out respective price objectives of $5.30 and $62.
Premier, Inc.
(NASDAQ:PINC): The healthcare information stock gets picked up with a Neutral at ISI Group.
(OTCMKTS:SBMRY): Stifel starts the brewing behemoth at a Buy, saying it may make an attractive acquisition target for arch rival
(NYSE:SYY): The food service stock — not to be confused with the phonetically similar tech stock
(NASDAQ:CSCO); hey,
funnier things have happened
— is assigned a Hold at Jefferies. Its price objective is $30.
Universal Health
(NYSE:UHS): Goldman Sachs assigns a Buy opinion and $87 price objective on UHS.
Zions Bancorporation
(NASDAQ:ZION): Shares get set a Neutral at ISI Group.

This is the first year attending Expo West that I felt the need for an assistant, or rather a team of people to walk the floor full of natural food companies with gluten-free offerings. Since I have already penned my top 20 favorite products, I wanted to put out more in-depth articles that encompass all of my gluten-free finds at the event.
First up are baking and bread finds.
- Freedom Foods - has created two shake and pour pancake mixes: Regular and Ancient Grains (with quinoa). Each requires only the addition of water to create pancakes. Both mixes are free of: dairy, soy, eggs, and nuts. No 3rd Party Certification; Internal Testing
- Immaculate Baking Company - will launch three gluten-free mixes in July: Double Chocolate Chip Cookies, Sugar Cookie, and Chocolate Chip Cookie. I wonder why they are moving away from the pre-made dough, which really set them apart, to a mix? They also offer Fudge Brownie Cookie Dough (dairy free) and Peanut Butter Cookie (dairy free) Dough. GFCO Certified
- Pascha Organic Dark Chocolate - makes a line of allergen-friendly chocolate bars and chips. Their chocolate bars are mixed with fruits, coffee, chips, and plain. Their chips are available in different percentages of cacao: 55%, 85%, and 100%. I tend to like the more mild dark chocolates, so I sampled the 55% cacao with cocoa nibs and I enjoyed its smooth taste. No 3rd Party Certification; Dedicated Facility
- Schar - has added Pancake and Waffle mix to their offerings in the U.S. No 3rd Party Certification; Dedicated Facility
- Canyon Bakehouse - was on hand with their newly re-branded line of breads. I am a big fan of their deli-style rye and focaccia. I got to meet Christi and Josh's kids too. I also learned that their Target product launch was extended to all stores and not just Super Targets. GFCO Certified
- Glutenfreeda Foods, Inc. - has started selling Artisan Flatbreads, Pizza Crusts, and Tortillas and Wraps. The flatbreads and pizza crusts come in four varieties including: Original, Parmesan & Asiago Cheese, Roasted Garlic, and Sun-Dried Tomato & Herbs. Glutenfreeda's tortillas and wraps roll without cracking and are large enough for burritos, they and come in three flavors, Original, Sante Fe Chili, and Sun-Dried Tomato & Herbs. No 3rd Party Certification; Internal lab tests for gluten
- Glutino Foods - launched a new Multigrain English Muffin that I tried at the Boulder Brands breakfast. Very tasty and very corn-y. GFCO Certified
- Rudi's Gluten Free - launched two new breads: Deli-Style with Caraway Seeds and Double Fiber. They made Ruben sandwiches on the Deli-Style bread that were quite tasty, but they weren't sampling out the double fiber bread when I was at the booth. GFCO Certified
- Schar - launched their cinnamon raisin loaf, which is a dense bread loaded with flavor and fiber. It does contain eggs and soy. No 3rd Party Certification; Dedicated Facility
- Silver Hills Bakery - bakes two gluten-free breads in a separate certified facility that are low in calories and high in fiber. These breads don't contain any gums, starches, dairy,or eggs, so that makes the ingredient list pretty short. The main ingredient is sorghum and they are darn tasty for dense bread. GFCO Certified
Have you tried any of these yet? What looks most interesting to you?

Very Happy Hour
Elettaria is offering $7 cocktails. Good ones, too.
Elettaria, which has one of the best cocktail programs in town (the original drink list was created by Brian Miller of Death & Co. and Lynette Marrero of Freemans; the current visionary is Joe Swifka) has started a 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. happy hour of $8 glasses of wine, $4 beers, and $7 cocktails — meaning the luxe Zombie Punch, normally $14, is half off. The drinks list is here.

As the D70 is a camera which will attract both seasoned SLR users and compact camera owners wanting to move up to a prosumer style camera it's important to consider lenses and lens quality (especially with six megapixels to resolve). The D70 has Nikon's D lens mount, this provides compatibility with a wide range of lenses both from Nikon and third party lens manufacturers. Additionally it's worth noting Nikon's range of DX lenses specifically designed to work with digital SLR's like the D70, they are smaller and lighter than the equivalent 35 mm lens because they don't need to produce such a large image circle.
Nikkor DX Lenses *
- 10.5mm f/2.8G ED AF DX Fisheye
- 12-24mm f/4G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom
- 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED AF-S DX Zoom
- 18-70mm f3.5-4.5G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom
* Complete at time of publication
As part of this review we have chosen to provide a quick overview of three lenses: the Nikkor AF-S DX 18- 70 mm F3.5 - F4.5G (the kit 'bundle' lens and an 'ideal match' to the D70 for a beginner), the Nikkor AF-S 28-70 mm F2.8 ED (professional quality lens) and the Nikkor 50 mm F1.4 D.
Field Of View crop
One thing it is important to understand is Field of View crop. Because the D70's sensor is smaller than a 35 mm negative the field of view provided by a lens is effectively cropped (in the case of the D70 the crop factor is 1.5x). This used to be referred to as 'focal length multiplier' although this term is actually inaccurate as it is not a multiplication but a crop, we prefer to refer to it as Field Of View crop (FOV crop). Thus the 18 - 70 mm lens provides a field of view approximately equivalent to a 27 - 105 mm lens on a 35 mm film camera.

Below you can see a GretagMacBeth ColorChecker chart taken with the AF-S DX 18 - 70 mm lens, place your mouse over either any of the labels below the image to see the same chart taken at the same time (within seconds) in the same light and the same exposure. It's fairly obvious to see the difference in brightness between the AF-S 28-70 mm F2.8 lens and the rest, otherwise color balance is very similar between all three lenses, tonal balance most similar between the AF-S DX 18-70 mm and the 50 mm F1.4 lens.

Resolution and sharpness
Resolution chart crop areas
Below you will find a range of crops from a shots of our standard resolution chart. Each shot was taken at a different focal length and aperture combination. This should provide you with a good impression of how well each lens works from wide open to smallest aperture and at both full wide angle and full telephoto zoom. Remember no lens is at its sharpest at maximum aperture ('wide open') nor at minimum aperture ('smallest').
Nikkor AF-S DX 18- 70 mm F3.5 - F4.5G
The AF-S DX 18 - 70 mm lens was announced at the end of January 2004, just before the PMA show in Las Vegas. This lens is seen as the perfect match for the D70 (and is indeed the kit lens included with the D70 in several countries around the world), it provides a 3.8x zoom with a field of view approximately equivalent to 27 to 105 mm. The lens is fairly compact but noticeably heavier and better built than Canon's 18 - 55 mm lens bundled with the EOS 300D (Digital Rebel).
Overall the lens performed fairly well, although it was clearly quite a bit softer at maximum aperture (F3.5 @ wide / F4.5 @ tele), the lens also exhibited some slight vignetting at maximum aperture and wide angle.
Wide angle: 18 mm
|F3.5 (wide open)
|F22 (smallest aperture)
Telephoto: 70 mm
|F5.6 (wide open)
|F29 (smallest aperture)
Nikkor AF-S 28-70 mm F2.8 ED
The AF-S 28-70 mm F2.8 is one of Nikon's best professional zoom lenses, it's a big and heavy lens but for that you get excellent sharpness and a wide constant aperture. On a digital SLR it probably doesn't offer a wide enough wide angle but can deliver much better overall performance than the cheaper lenses.
Wide angle: 28 mm
|F2.8 (wide open)
|F22 (smallest aperture)
Telephoto: 70 mm
|F2.8 (wide open) *
|F22 (smallest aperture)
Nikkor 50 mm F1.4 D
The Nikkor 50 mm F1.4 D is a very fast prime lens, probably one of Nikon's best. It's small and lightweight and sharp from about F2.0 upwards. This is the lens we use for test comparisons to other digital SLR's.
Normal: 50 mm
|F1.4 (wide open)
|F16 (smallest aperture)

Tulsa's take on Iowa State
Chris Williams
By now, you know where Iowa State stands when it comes to Thursday night's road trip to Tulsa. The Cyclones are 0-2 and if they admit it or not, in total desperation mode.
But at 1-2, the Golden Hurricane haven't exactly set the world on fire to start the 2013 season.
Tulsa head coach Bill Blankenship held his weekly press conference on Tuesday. Here are some notable quotes regarding his thoughts on the Iowa State Cyclones.
On Iowa State QB Sam B. Richardson: "He's a dual-threat guy. He can create. Any time you have quarterbacks that can create, they make you a little antsy. They appear to have designed a little more quarterback run into their offense this year. They've certainly changed some of their formations and sets. They're using a little more of what people call the Pistol (formation), with a back in a deep set behind the quarterback. I think that's a direct result of them trying to use what Richardson brings to the table."
On Iowa State program right now: "I think we're probably in the same boat - teams coming off of a successful run a year ago. We're both in search of the next win. We both desperately need to get back on track."
What are the differences in the two teams now compared to when you met in December: "I think there are a lot of differences. Philosophically, you don't see much difference in either one of us, but there are a lot of personnel changes. This is just an estimate - I would say there will be 30 new faces on the field for both teams, and maybe more than that, who were not an active part of the Liberty Bowl."
On the opportunity to defeat a Big 12 opponent: "One of the measuring sticks for this program over the last several years has been BCS wins. Notre Dame was our last BCS win until you get to the Liberty Bowl last year with Iowa State. The fact that (the Cyclones) are at a Big 12 school, and they've had some big wins over the years, that's a big motivation for us. I think we will always try to measure ourselves against the BCS-caliber teams, and this is the next opportunity."

By sourcing grapes from areas closely associated with a specific varietal Cupcake Vineyards has established a reputation for supplying good quality wine at a very fair price. The 2013 Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough New Zealand is a perfect example of how Cupcake has succeeded in their model. While not the "home" of the Sauvignon Blanc grape New Zealand has become an almost defacto name associated with quality, priced at a very affordable level for the casual and not so casual appreciator of wine, as this reviewer once again discovered.
The Cupcake Sauvignon Blanc pours a very light pale yellow color in the glass tipping off that this is not going to be a blast of fruit wine. A nose of citrus with a touch of cut grass blends easily into a flavor profile that opens with lemon pie up front which was quickly dominated by grapefruit and lime juice on the back end. The finish is clean and while not what I would call "steely" it has a citric quality that created a lean and edgy ending. That might be off putting for some people, however, I found it to be a pleasant way to draw a line between the flavor of the wine and the long lingering essence left in the mouth. This is almost a "throw back" to traditional Sauvignon Blanc wine, before the recent softer body and tropical fruit of many California wineries or the dominate grassy flavor of early New Zealand efforts. Think about the white wines of Bordeaux and if you extract the roundness from the Semillon grape out you are left with something similar to the 2013 Cupcake Sauv Blanc.
I thoroughly enjoyed this wine on a hot afternoon by the pool and think that matching up with many foods could be a stretch. However, if you are one that likes something to eat when drinking serve this wine very well chilled with salad greens and light sandwiches, cucumber comes to my mind and you will have a time to remember with very little dent in your budget.
Cupcake wines are available seemingly everywhere wine is sold, from wine store to grocery aisle and at one time they were popping up in some C-stores in this area. Almost always priced under $10, the 2013 Sauvignon Blanc can be found sale price around the $8 mark, a great buy for the quality in this bottle. In the end would I make a blanket recommendation to buy, not for those who like a plush fruitiness in their wine. I am afraid you might find this Sauv Blanc a bit to sharp and unpleasantly citrus in its bite, but for those who like a light clean and bracing wine on occasion this is a must try.

The task I'm trying to perform involves using OpenMP to launch multiple instances of PLASMA with heterogeneous initializations - i.e. multiple instances of PLASMA with different numbers of worker threads each. In our testing code, we're using two OpenMP threads to launch two instances of PLASMA. We observe that both instances of PLASMA do indeed run concurrently, however the threads generated by each PLASMA are bound to the same cores (well, starting on the same core). So for an example, on the first OpenMP thread PLASMA is initialized with 4 cores (PLASMA_INIT(4,plas_info)) and on the second OpenMP thread PLASMA is initialized with 2 cores (PLASMA_INIT(2,plas_info)). This results in a concurrent initialization, allocation and execution of plasma with no errors, however we see that the 4 threads of the first OMP thread are bound to cores 0, 1, 2, 3 and that the 2 cores of the second OMP thread are bound to cores 0 and 1. It seems that each instance of PLASMA respects it's own allocation of cores and does not disrupt the OpenMP threads, but that it always binds threads to cores starting from core 0, so that in this case there is an overlap.
Inspection of the PLASMA source seems to indicate that a call to PLASMA_INIT_AFFINITY gives one the option to specify an array specifying the cores to which to bind the worker threads. Indeed, writing a small hack to allow usage of this routine in FORTRAN allows for us to specify which cores the workers are bound to, thus relieving this problem. Obviously it is unfortunate to have to perform this little hack to get the library to behave how we want, but it seems odd that the function is available in C however that there is no corresponding FORTRAN interface. Also it is clear that our hap-hazard core binding will not be optimal for execution as we are not considering the physical location of the cores. Are there plans to extend such functionality to the FORTRAN API?

Ancient Egyptian History: The Egyptian Museum
The Egyptian Museum
المتحف المصري
Located right in the middle of down town Cairo, in Tahrir square, is the biggest treasure of ancient Egyptian artifacts. Whether it's a wrapped mummy, a granite statue or pure gold, its all there in the Egyptian museum. The space of the museum is huge and is as rich in history as the artifacts it houses.
Apparently by the late 19th century and early 20th, there was so many discoveries being made and artifacts collected that the Egyptian government established a museum in 1835 near the Ezbekeyah Garden. All artifacts were moved from one building to the other until 1902 when everything was finally settled right in its prsent location.
The best way to reach the Egyptian Museum is by metro, it leaves you right in the middle of Tahrir Square then it's just a matter of crossing over a few streets to reach that huge orange building. Once inside its iron fence, there was a hustle and bustle and numerous tour buses parked all around. Once inside the museum, it was noisy and busy with tourist groups all over.
The interior of the museum is gigantic with colossal statues inside. There's something displayed in every single corner and ever single hall. Even as we went up the stairs to see the Tut 'Ank Amun collection, there were fantastic drawings with hieroglyphic writing and drawings of ancient Egyptian gods in burial and religious rituals. The beauty of the collection of King Tut was not disappointing either. The painted gold masks, jewelry and black and white photos of the tomb as it was discovered in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, left us with an overwhelming feeling of adventure, discovery and mystery.
Then of course the mummies are a must see. Well preserved and so real with hair, nails and facial features. Well, a bit too long in the mummy room proved a bit too freaky for my taste, but it was well worth the visit!
Time flew by amazingly quickly as there are large spaces to walk through and so much to see. I think I'll come again to discover more.

Disease Proof
Mediterranean Diet, Vegetables May Extend Life...
Appearing in the British Medical Journal, a new study claims the Mediterranean diet—i.e. eating a lot of fruits and vegetables and avoiding meat, alcohol and dairy products—increases lifespan. Researchers examined the eating habits of 23,000 Greeks over 10 years, finding the presence of a diet rich in vegetables yielded health benefits, but when the heavy consumption of vegetables was removed, these benefits were negated; HealthDay News reports.
Sadly, many Mediterranean countries are loosing ground. In 2008, childhood obesity in Portugal, Spain and Italy jumped 30%. According to Dr. Fuhrman, all those healthy Mediterranean foods are giving way to western foods. That's why the Mediterranean is getting fat, just like us!
And last September, a report revealed countries like Spain, Italy and Greece are buckling under the weight of fast food and the move away from their traditional dietary roots.
Image credit: ...-Wink-...
Hi Jerry. The Mediterranean Diet, while certainly heavy in fruits and vegetables, is also heavy in olive oil and chronic, yet moderate wine drinking (1-2 glasses every day).
Hey Scott-
Yeah, the report goes into all that, but the pearl of wisdom here is the high vegetable component.

Devil's Due is an okay movie. It's entertaining and the acting is great, but it has several plot holes that add to its list of faults. The movie is also fairly cliché in its delivery. Still, at the very least this movie is entertaining considering it is a mild thriller about the antichrist.
Newlyweds Zach and Samantha McCall, played by Zach Gilford and Allison Miller, take their honeymoon to the Dominican Republic. They meet a cab driver that takes them to a "special" club. After the two are drugged, they pass out and a ritual is performed on Samantha so that she is impregnated and will eventually give birth to the antichrist. As the pregnancy develops it changes Samantha. Will this birth bring forth the antichrist?
The best part of this film is that the acting. Allison Miller has a lot of range and shows a great deal of vulnerability. Zach Gilford's character is also well done. His struggle to come to terms with the truth as he unlocks the conspiracy is pretty fascinating. They seem like good people so it's a damn shame when the misfortune happens to them.
A lot of Devil's Due could have been prevented with common sense. Avoid non-tourist areas in third world countries; don't trust a cab driver who wont take you to your destination; don't drink free booze you are unsure of; turn on the lights in a dark house; things of that nature. The characters were arguably doomed to begin with on account of their poor judgment. There are several other plot holes as well. For example, how the hell would the police think Zach caused the damage that was done to his house when his wife was throwing a telekinetic fit? How could no one have heard of the new doctor assigned to the young couple when there would have been mounds of paper work from billing and insurance, not to mention the assistants and nurses who helped with the amniotic fluid test?
Plot holes aside, Devil's Due is not a bad movie. While not a great movie, it is certainly worth a rental if the horror genre is usually your taste. It keeps a good pace but did not need to be a P.O.V. movie to tell its story. It was entertaining at the very least and sometimes that is all we need from our movies.

When Taryn at Design, Dining + Diapers redesigned her family room recently, she had a limited budget but knew she needed a lot of storage. Aiming for something with a rustic look, she figured out how to make this gorgeous storage system from reclaimed wood.
The reclaimed wood is from our current favorite source of free lumber: pallets. Taryn could get them for free thanks to her brother's workplace, then muscled them into the beautiful, crate-like shelves you see here. I really like the addition of the metal brackets. The whole system looks like it could be part of a display at Anthropologie.
Taryn has provided an excellent tutorial to demonstrate how to make these pallet shelves at Design, Dining + Diapers.

Modesto Police Department

Office of the Chief of Police
Author: Heather Graves
MPD Releases a 10-Year Crime Trends Report
Modesto, CA- The Modesto Police Department is releasing a 10-year crime trend report. This report represents a comprehensive analysis of the crime trends in Modesto over the last decade.
The information is presented to provide the reader with a better understanding of how crime has evolved and provide the community leaders and citizens of Modesto a historical perspective to assist in developing future public safety strategies.
This report includes documented crimes as well as a per capita comparison between the City of Modesto and the State of California. It is intended to demonstrate where Modesto's crime has been, where it presently stands, and serve as a point of reference as we plan for our future.
"Every year crime statistics are published by the Police Department and reported to the Department of Justice. Often times, those statistics are compared year to year without a long term view of what is occurring in the community," wrote Modesto Police Chief Galen Carroll, "The goal of this report and future annual reports is to provide a historical look at crime in our community. I believe this shows a clear picture of the challenges we face as a police department and a community."
The Modesto Police Department 10-Year Crime Trend Report can be viewed online at http://www.modestogov.com/mpd/downloads/Crime%20Trend%20Report%20Final.pdf.

Indian Pudding | Classic New England Dessert
Topped with whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon, Indian Pudding is a traditional New England recipe embodies the flavors of fall. Learn more about the origins of this classic recipe.
Indian pudding might not be pretty, but few New England desserts can rival its claim to fame as the most comprehensive of our regional sweet dishes. It evolved out of an initial British culinary tradition, which was then enhanced by Native American influenced necessity, and finally, flavored with the fruits of New England commerce.
Confused? Here's how the pieces fit together.
Early colonists brought with them to America a fondness for British "hasty pudding" – a dish made by boiling wheat flour in water or milk until it thickened into porridge.
Since wheat flour was scarce in the new world, hasty-pudding-deprived settlers adapted by using native corn meal, dubbed "Indian flour," and flavoring the resulting mush to be either sweet (with maple syrup or molasses) or savory (with drippings or salted meat).
In time, the dish evolved into one that was resoundingly sweet, with lots of molasses and additional ingredients like butter, cinnamon, ginger, eggs, and sometimes even raisins or nuts. Because New England was a stop in the "Triangle Trade" route of the 18th century (see Note below), New Englanders found themselves with an abundance of molasses on their hands. Never a wasteful group, they used it to sweeten everything from Anadama Bread to Baked Beans.
Indian pudding began officially appearing in American cook books in the late 1700's. Early methods called for the dish to be cooked in a "slow" oven, meaning at a low temperature, for a long period of time. The pudding dish was placed in a large, shallow pan, into which a shallow amount of water was added. The water insulated the dish so it would cook very gently during its long cook time.
I confess I tried a recipe that called for the low temperature, long cook time, water bath method…and it was a disaster. I would have to repeat the experiment to know for sure if I went wrong somewhere, or if the recipe needs clarification, but even after three hours in the oven my pudding looked more like soup.
For my second attempt, I used a recipe originally printed in a 1978 installment of Yankee's "Best Cook in Town" feature. The recipe was recently included in Yankee's cookbook, Best New England Recipes: Classic and Inspired Fare, so I knew I would be in good hands.
This version omits the traditional water bath and cooks faster at a higher temperature, however, when I removed it from the oven and saw that it had set into an actual semi-firm pudding, I embraced the update.
Topped with some whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon, Indian pudding embodies the flavors of fall, and reminds us of how a dish can evolve with its surroundings.
Did you grow up eating Indian pudding? Do you make it today? I'd love to know if you have a water-bath cooking method that works for you!
Click to view and print the recipe for Indian Pudding.
Note: The "Triangle Trade" was when slaves were brought from Africa to the Caribbean/South America, then sugar from the Caribbean/South America was shipped up to New England to be distilled into rum, and finally, the rum and other goods were sent back to Africa. Molasses is a by-product of distilling sugar into rum.

The World Interfaith Harmony Week was first proposed at the UN General Assembly on in 2010 by King Abdullah II of Jordan; it was unanimously adopted by the UN and has since been observed the first week of every February.
During this week we are called to challenge our intolerance, assumptions and rigidity of others and instead call for peace, mutual understanding and coming together on common grounds and shared values.
The World Interfaith Harmony Week is based on the pioneering work of the 2007 Common Word initiative. This initiative called for Muslim and Christian leaders to engage in a dialogue based on two common fundamental religious commandments; Love of God, and Love of the Neighbor. The two commandments are at the heart of the three monotheistic religions and provide the most solid theological ground possible.
On February 5, 2014 The Scarritt Bennett center hosted a World Interfaith Harmony Week Breakfast. This was the fourth year the center hosted a breakfast.. This year's conversation was with women from different faith communities on how their spiritual journey has shaped their social justice efforts.
Panelists included Rev. Jennifer Bailey, a SNAP outreach coordinator with Community Food Advocates, Miriam Leibowitz, a reproductive freedom organizer with the ACLU-TN and Aisha Lbhalla, of The Muslim Women's Council.
The panelist detailed their passionate community work and how it is directly inspired by their faith. A recurring message of faith in God, social justice, advocacy, and charity inspired them to serve more than themselves but to contribute to the greater community.
"Bringing joy the heart of human beings, feeding the hungry, helping the afflicted, lightening the sorrow of the sorrowful, and removing the sufferings of the injured are the most excellent actions." Prophet Mohamed (pbuh)
"Eat together and accept invitations because it builds good feelings among people and increases love between them." Prophet Mohamed (pbuh).
One thing stated was that we do not live in a vacuum; regardless of our religious affiliations, economic or social status we have interdependence among members of society. So we have an obligation to make it a healthy society, and to see that the needs of its members are addressed and not leave anyone to the wayside. When one part of the body is ill the rest of the body it is not immune.
The program concluded with encouraging all audience members to continue after World Interfaith Harmony Week to participate in or learn more about faith traditions, diversity and inclusion.
Panelist and audience dined on a wonderful breakfast prepared by the Scarritt Bennett chefs.
Scarritt-Bennett is a non-profit education, retreat and conference center, located in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee. The Center has strong commitment to promoting racial equality, cross-cultural understanding, the empowerment of women and spiritual renewal.

2Add several horizontal lines for the division of each part of the totem pole.
3Now start drawing the bird face at the top of the pole. Use geometric shapes and don't get too realistic.
4The next division is for the bird body and wings. The body should consist of the feet. While the wings consists of several rectangles and triangles at the end.
5For the next section draw a face. Remember to use geometric shapes rather than drawing it too realistic.
6Draw a monkey holding the totem pole upright. (see image)
7Ink in the drawing and erase the sketch.
8Color the drawing and there you have it! Your very own totem pole.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
The Alabama football team began its 2011 fall training slate with a split practice at the Drew-Thomas Practice Facility on Friday morning.
"We are certainly excited about getting started and having our team back here," Alabama head coach Nick Saban said. "The outcome of this season is going to be created by what our players do. What we do, not what we can do, is what it is all going to come down to. Everyone will benefit from the team's success, but every individual will be responsible for what they are supposed to do. That will help develop the team chemistry, the team attitude and the team success."
The first of 29 practice sessions before the season opener on September 3 opened at 9:30 a.m. Friday with a two-hour workout that included mostly veterans in shorts and helmets. The remaining members of the team will meet for a two-hour practice that is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.
"I think today's practice went pretty good," senior nose guard Josh Chapman said. "Guys came out hard for the first day, and I have seen a lot of improvement on the line, now and throughout the summer. We try to work hard and be the best defensive line we can be."
Chapman, a preseason first-team All-SEC selection, is one of 10 returning starters on the Alabama defense. Among those returnees anchoring the Crimson Tide defense are All-American safeties Mark Barron and Robert Lester along with preseason All-SEC linebackers Dont'a Hightower and Courtney Upshaw.
Alabama will hold its first combined practice of 2011 on Saturday. The veterans and newcomers are slated to work out together at 2:30 p.m. at the Drew-Thomas Practice Facility.
The Tide's annual Fan Day will take place on Sunday, August 7, at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Fan Day will start with an open practice from 2:30-4:30 p.m. Following practice, student-athletes and coaches will be available for autographs during a 45-minute session on the field. Fans may enter the stadium beginning at 1:30 p.m. through northwest spiral Gate 5 (closest to Wallace Wade Ave.) The line for the autograph session will start at Gate 46.

After a disastrous season with Cardiff city, getting relegated from the premier I'm just wondering if anyone has the bottle to say they have struggled with ?:confused:
Still trying to work out how Chelsea work their formation of 4 1 2 1 2 in the game. 3 titles and losing only 4 league games makes me wonder if the computer has a super tactic here!

"One of the most important developments
in the art of the 20th century
was the birth of the technique of collage.
It opened up a new world of perception
in which matter and spirit can have a new kind of relationship,
one never visualized before...
... Tillis has given voice to another way of seeing,
has visualized another way of being.
The experience of Tillis is joyous.
His motions are magically musical.
He actually dances the dance of it,
the dance of rapture."

On the heels of a record setting year, the Seward County Lady Saints are headed back to the NJCAA National Tournament after finishing 2nd Saturday at the Region VI Tournament in Wichita.
In maybe the most anticipated match of the whole tournament, Seward's 4th ranked Paula Lopez went head to head with Cowley's 5th ranked Ana Ruzir in the championship match of the #1 singles bracket. Three weeks prior it was Lopez getting the best of Ruzir in a three setter, but this time it was Ruzir getting her revenge when it meant most, downing Lopez 7-6 (5), 6-3 to claim the title.
The championship match at #2 singles also looked to be a tight matchup on paper as Seward County's Paula Coyos battled Cowley's Sarah Giraldo. Coyos had other ideas as she easily handled Giraldo in the opening set 6-0 before burying her 6-3 in the second set to win the #2 singles championship.
Kathryn Roohan took the court for Seward in #3 singles in the third place match Saturday and made up for a loss on Friday with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Johnson County's Kara Hoegerl to finish third and earn the Lady Saints 1.5 team points.
After being blanked on day one of the tournament, Seward's Jackie Arnold came out with a vengeance Saturday as she took on Barton's Kelly Brauer in the #4 singles third place match. Arnold took the opening set 6-3 and bounced Brauer 6-4 in the second set to finish third.
Naomie Bukassa took the court for the third place match for the Lady Saints in #5 singles. After Bukassa got a big win on day one of the tournament, she had some troubles on Saturday, falling 6-1, 6-4 to Narumi Hayano from Hesston to finish the tournament fourth.
Grace Golden rounded out the Lady Saints singles roster and finished Seward's singles play in style Saturday, downing Brittanie Eskut from Barton 6-2, 7-5 in the #6 singles third place match to again earn the Lady Saints an extra .5 points for the team standings.
In one of the more lopsided matchups in the finals round, 6th ranked Lopez and Coyos teamed up to take on Cowley in the #1 doubles championship match. The result played true to its billing as the Lady Saints pair dominated, winning 6-3, 6-2 to win the championship in the top draw.
The final match to finish Saturday was at #2 doubles where Roohan and Arnold took the court for Seward against Barton in the third place match of that bracket. Barton pulled out a nailbiting 7-6 win in the first set and took the momentum into the second set, winning 6-4 to take the match 2-0.
After losing a tough one in the semifinals of the #3 doubles draw, Bukassa and Golden rebounded on Saturday, winning their third place match rather easily, 6-2, 6-1, over the Barton Cougars to finish the tournament third at the spot.
Cowley dominated the tournament once again, finishing 1st with 25 total points while the Lady Saints finished 2nd, their highest finish since 2008, with 16 points in the tournament. The final team qualifying for the National Tournament was Johnson County in 3rd with 13 points while Barton finished just short of a bid with 11 points and Hesston struggled to just 2.5 points.
The Lady Saints will now have a week to prepare for the National Tournament which begins on Saturday, May 3rd in Tyler, Texas.
REGION VI TOURNAMENT RESULTS<http://www.sewardsaints.com/sports/wten/2013-14/releases/20140426i4exwo>
A shorthanded Seward County bunch gave it their best effort at the Region VI Tournament in Wichita Saturday, but with just three players playing, it was too much to overcome as they fell four points short of their fifth straight trip to the NJCAA National Tournament.
Ronzai Saurombe worked his way all the way from the 4th seed in the draw to the championship match on Saturday where he met up with 2nd seeded and 9th ranked Harry Busby of Cowley. The former Seward recruit, Busby, had little trouble with the Saints top man, winning 6-2, 6-2 over Saurombe to kill his chance at an individual trip to the National Tournament.
The third place match at #2 singles was one of the more intriguing matchups of the day as the Saints 20th ranked Alejandro Gonzalez took on 24th ranked Kevin Kochersperger of Johnson County. Gonzalez controlled the first set, winning 6-2, but had to grind out a 7-5 victory in the second set to win the match and take third in the tournament.
The highlight of the day for Seward came in #3 singles where freshman Trevor Kipping finished off one of the finest rookie seasons in school history as he improve to 10-1 on the season and claimed the Region VI Championship with a dominating 6-4, 6-1 upset win over 26th ranked Josh Coleman from Cowley.
The Saints lost valuable point opportunities at #4, #5, and #6 singles as Colin Glassman was forced out due to an injury at #4 and they failed to have a representative at #5 and #6.
Out of the race for a team trip to the National Tournament, Saurombe and Gonzalez still had an opportunity to go as a pair if they were to win the championship match at #1 doubles. After winning the ITA National Championship in the fall and opening the spring season ranked #1, the pair finished a disappointing spring with a 6-4, 6-3 loss to Harry Busby and Erik Eldgasen of Cowley in the championship match to finish the season at just 7-5.
With Glassman injured, the Saints were unable to compete at #2 doubles, finishing 4th without even taking the court in the tournament, while Seward did not have a representative at #3 doubles.
The Saints finished with 9.5 points overall in the tournament, trailing Cowley who nearly pulled off a sweep with 26 points, Johnson County who finished with 14.5, and Barton who makes their first trip to the National Tournament in 5 years with 13.5 points. The lone team the Saints finished in front of was Hesston who ended the tournament with just 3 points.

Adam Wilcox and Ryan Faragher would head into battle in the West Regional final from the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul on Sunday night, and the winner would advance to the Frozen Four at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia to be played April 10-12.
Both teams were shot less in the first two minutes and the aim for both teams seemed to be garnering the first goal of the night. Connor Reilly put the first shot on goal of the game for Minnesota at just past two minutes in, and it was a slim test for Faragher who knocked it aside.
Minnesota's most substantial possession in the first five minutes saw an additional shot on goal but the feeling was that of "more zone time, the better."
There were no penalties in the first seven minutes plus of action, and that allowed a free flowing game to develop on both ends of the ice, and the even strength play for both teams was right on par with where they should be in terms of where the playoffs were at.
Justin Kloos broke the ice for Minnesota at 11:09 on even strength, giving the Gophers the 1-0 lead. Kloos was assisted by Nate Condon and Justin Holl.
As the end of twenty minutes rolled in from St. Paul, Minnesota held the slimmest lead in hockey and an 9-4 shots advantage as well.
The second period would get underway with each team firing a shot on goal through 2:09, and there were zero in terms of penalties being called in the first 22:09 of game play.
Minnesota's Seth Ambroz would put the Gophers up two at 3:48 of the second period when he put the puck in the net. Jake Parenteau and Travis Boyd would assist Ambroz on his fourteenth goal of the year.
As thirty minutes would come and go in St. Paul, an important stat to track was the fact that St. Cloud State only had nine total shots on net. This fact could've been due to blocked shots or shots that went wide of the net.
Minnesota went up 3-0 at 9:53 as Justin Kloos scored his second goal of the night on even strength. SCSU's Brooks Bertsch was also cited by the zebras for boarding at 9:53, giving Minnesota the game's opening power play.
The Minnesota power play failed to convert in its advantage, but the Gophers were well enough ahead where it seemed that bench boss Don Lucia and assistant Mike Guentzel need not be pressured at that juncture.
Shots were 15-12 in Minnesota's favor through 34:00, but Adam Wilcox was keeping the shutout alive for the Gophers. Charlie Lindgren would replace Ryan Faragher in net with about five minutes left in the second period, and it seemed to help the Huskies slightly regain their hockey legs.
At the end of forty minutes, Minnesota had the commanding lead and shots on goal were 19-15 in Minnesota's favor.
Through two periods, only one penalty was on the books, and the Minnesota defense was playing what I like to call "balls to the wall" in most spots fronting goaltender Adam Wilcox. There'd be occasional lapses, but it wasn't anything Wilcox couldn't handle with all eighteen pucks saved on the night to 45:00.
Minnesota would get their second power play of the game at 8:07 of the third as Daniel Tedesco would be called for slashing. Seconds later, at 8:16, Minnesota's Kyle Rau buried a rebound on the power play. Mike Reilly and Travis Boyd would assist on the goal that seemingly brought the Gophers through to Philly.
Coincidental penalties were called at 12:11 against SCSU's David Morley and Minnesota's Brady Skjei for high sticking and roughing respectively. St. Cloud State's Joey Benik drew an elbow (indirect contact to the head) at 13:45, giving Minnesota a power play.
The Gophers power play would go up in smoke, but Minnesota's defense was no match for SCSU's lack of offense.
Minnesota, with the win, would move on to the Frozen Four (national semifinals) on April 10, facing off against North Dakota. The game will take place at the Wells Fargo Center. Shots in the game finished 35-24 to Minnesota with power plays going 1-3 to Minnesota.

Three female characters, each touched by World War I. They all have their own stories to tell about this devastating time in world history, which was especially devastating to the England. There is Evelyn, a pensions clerk, is almost 30 and lives with another "spinster" roommate. Hettie lives with her mother and shell-shocked brother Fred, while working as a dancer. Ada is 45, with a son who never returned from the war and a marriage that's falling apart.
Each of these women are described in an outstanding manner - their thoughts and personalities are distinct. While at first they aren't linked, as the story goes on you begin to understand how they connect, and what the war has done to connect women all over England. Each woman is unhappy and longing for something they cannot find. For Evelyn, she is dealing with the loss of the love of her life. Hettie has lost her brother, and a chance at marriage and happiness. Ada's loss seeps into every aspect of her life, and she longs to know what really happened to her son at the Front.
These stories tie together with that of the Unknown Soldier. I loved that their stories were revealed throughout the novel. I hate the kind of book where it's assumed that the reader is really stupid, and needs every bit explained to them so that they understand. This is a real literary achievement from a debut author, and she adeptly manages the revelatory aspects of the plot with a real understanding of what readers want and need to read.
Man, what a tearjerker this was for me. An exquisitely moving novel, it also manages to keep the historical details authentic and it really adds to the story. I would absolutely read another novel from Anna Hope, and I hope she writes another one soon.
If you liked the emotional drama of Atonement, or historical novels like A.S. Byatt's Possession, you will love this book. I highly, highly recommend.

I'd like to thank everyone who attended my recent legislative session "wrap-up" at Town Hall in Bethany, where most folks expressed concern over the direction in which our state is headed.
Topics of discussion varied, ranging from gun-related proposals and laws to improving the system that provides armed forces personnel stationed overseas an opportunity to vote. Most talk, however, centered on the state's shaky finances and its struggling economy.
That Connecticut spends and borrows too much money were facts upon which everyone seemed to agree, and several of the attendees offered examples of where government can save money. Others provided ideas on how to make our state friendlier to the business community—a subject of particular concern at a time when governors from other states have stepped up their pursuit of Connecticut-based companies fed up with the regulatory environment here.
There's no doubt our state will face significant challenges in the months and years ahead, but I find it encouraging to hear from people such as those in Bethany who are not only concerned about our state's direction, but also hold ideas and a willingness to help change the course.
In the coming months I encourage anyone with questions, ideas or concerns about state government to contact my office at 800-842-1423 or [email protected].

Natural gas from shales has the potential to significantly increase America's security of energy supply, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and lower prices for consumers. Although shale gas has been produced in the United State for many decades, it was not considered to be a significant resource until the last decade when new horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technology facilitated economic production.
Shale gas currently contributes about 16 percent of U.S. natural gas production, an amount that is expected to grow significantly as this huge resource is developed.
Natural gas can replace high-emissions fuels like oil and coal and facilitate variable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. However, concerns about the safety, risk, and environmental impacts associated with shale gas development must be addressed before production can significantly increase.
The Office of Fossil Energy is focusing on resolving these issues to assure a safe and environmentally sustainable supply of natural gas. The FE program consists of the following activities:
Moving Forward
The DOE Shale Gas program collaborates with other Federal and State agencies, industry, academia, Non-governmental Organizations and National Labs to advance oil and gas exploration and production technologies in the most effective and environmentally responsible manner. DOE is refocusing the work done under Section 999 (Subtitle J) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 on safety, environmental sustainability, and quantifying the risks of exploration and production activity. DOE is also developing tools to aid operators in meeting the environmental and economic challenges in managing produced water including water minimization and treatment/disposal and reuse.
The DOE Oil and Natural Gas program leverages its knowledge of the petroleum industry and research capability to provide unbiased scientific information as a basis for regulation. As part of this effort, DOE is participating in the 2010-2012 EPA Hydraulic Fracturing Study and provides comments for rulemaking by other government agencies such as the Department of the Interior and the Forest Service.
Collaborative projects with the Ground Water Protection Council, the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, the Stripper Well Consortium, DOE's Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center and NETL's Regional University Alliance assure that R&D projects are responsive to public concerns.
