On a chilly Monday afternoon, a handful of Summit High School students tromped out of their classroom, across the road and down to the snowy bank of the Upper Blue River. Without hesitation, they moved into the water, some in waders and some simply in tennis shoes, overturning rocks and holding mesh sifters in the running current.
These students are part of the Stream Ecology class, taught by biology teacher Christopher Lambrecht. The class, which students must apply to and be accepted to join, aims to give students hands-on experience while teaching them the biology and chemistry behind stream and river ecology.
"It's taught as a biology class from a fisherman's perspective. Students get practical knowledge," Lambrecht said. "It fosters that respect for the environment, taking care of the trout and putting them back carefully."
The trout Lambrecht is referring to are currently inhabiting a large tank at the back of the Stream Ecology classroom. A donation from the local chapter of the national nonprofit Trout Unlimited, the fish serve as a key component to Lambrecht's curriculum. Students learn by taking care of the fish from hatching to maturity, at which point the aim is to release them back into the river system.
"You can teach so many things," Lambrecht said of having the fish right there in the classroom. "You can teach biology of chemical cycles; you can teach life cycles of the fish. It teaches these guys how to care for something; it's hands-on experience where they're actually working on the tank and the tank maintenance and learning how those systems work. If they want to go on to the field of biology they've got that experience; they know how to care for samples and take care of equipment."
Lambrecht said he's pleased to work with Trout Unlimited to offer this type of experience.
ut Unlimited is a nonprofit organization that stretches across the nation. The Colorado branch, founded in 1969, works as a financially self-sustaining, grassroots organization to protect, conserve and restore Colorado's coldwater fisheries and their watersheds.
The organization has been active in Summit County for decades through the Gore Range chapter, which currently has upwards of 60 members. The chapter meets every month at a different location in Summit County to discuss its current projects and how best to serve the nearby rivers, watersheds and riparian areas.
These monthly educational meetings are one of a handful of projects that the Gore Range chapter takes on. The meetings offer insight into the science of water conservation and the ecology of streams and rivers. Another project is held in the summer to teach Summit County youth how to fish. Waders, reels and rods are donated to help pass enthusiasm for the sport and caring for natural resources on to the younger generation.
The chapter also has a wounded warrior project that works to connect military veterans with fishing. Last summer, around 10 veterans came up from Fort Carson, each with various disabilities including amputations and brain injuries. Members with Trout Unlimited then helped them to fish, teaching techniques and guiding them to the best river spots.
In addition to fishing, Trout Unlimited works to conserve and restore rivers and streams. One of the biggest projects undertaken by the Gore Range chapter is the restoration of more than 17 miles of the Swan River near Breckenridge.
"It was just flip-flopped during the mining era," said Gore Range chapter secretary Corkie Ramey. "The dredges came through and churned it all up and the rocks ended up on top and the water found its way through there."
Now the chapter is working to turn the river right side up, using both heavy equipment and manpower to move the rocks and let the water flow up freely on the surface. Eventually, the group hopes to introduce cutthroat and rainbow trout to the revitalized river.
"We're going to not only enhance the stream, we're going to put the fish back too," Ramey said.
The Gore Chapter is into its second year of working directly with Summit High students. Last year it donated around 200 trout eggs for the students to raise. Although in the end there were not enough trout to be able to release into the wild, it was a learning experience. This year the students were able to produce nearly 60 rainbow trout from 100 donated eggs.
Now the trout have entered the "small fry" part of the life cycle and are all about 4 inches long. Next, about half of the fish will be sacrificed in the name of disease control. The specimens will be sent away to be studied by Park and Wildlife pathologists to ensure that the fish are disease-free and safe to be released back into the environment. Once the fish are approved and reach adulthood (around 6 inches long), the class will determine the best place to release them into the river.
The Stream Ecology class is a popular one, and the students seem excited about the prospect of eventually releasing the fish. For now, however, they're focused on collecting bugs in the river and learning more about how insects tie into the cycle of the stream.
"We're excited," said Brian Acosta, a freshman who has been taking the course since the first quarter. "In a week or two they're going to come in and test them, so that's going to be really cool to see."
"We're excited how many fish there are," fellow classmate Joe McComb agreed.
Many students said that they heard the class talked up by Lambrecht or their classmates and were intrigued with the natural component, particularly the ability to do hands-on work outdoors.
"The course intrigued me because 'Happy' is my biology teacher as well," McComb said, referring to Lambrecht by his nickname. "He said that it's really fun and if you love nature you should do it." He gestures to the river behind him. "I love nature."
"Probably coming out to the river and taking samples," said senior Kristina Middlebrook of her favorite part of the class. "It's a lot of fun hiking through the snow and getting to come outside."
Lambrecht looks just as excited as the students, if not more, to be outside. He moves from group to group, adjusting the angle of a mesh filter or pointing out particular species of bugs that the students have gathered into plastic jugs. He said that being outdoors and doing the work by hand greatly improves the experience and gives unique knowledge to the students.
"I went into biology because I loved the subject and loved reading about it and doing the lab in class," he said, "but I didn't really know what a biologist does on a daily basis."
Trout Unlimited is also happy to assist in that experience, Ramey said.
"It allows them to get involved in the ecology of the area and the environment and hopefully makes them good stewards of the earth," she said. "If they can see what is growing and how things are working in the life cycle of the earth, then they have more appreciation through understanding.
"Through education comes understanding - they understand it and they appreciate it, then they take care of it."

This week has been a busy one for mola mola sightings around Nusa Penida. The water temperature around the islands has dropped from 30 degrees (which we experience from November to May) to an average temperature this week of just 24 and some even colder thermo clines. Whilst this means we have been shivering a bit it also brings the mola mola! The main spots where we have been seeing them are Buyuk on the North coast of Nusa Penida, Blue Corner on Lembongan and also Crystal Bay on the South coast of Penida.

Board meeting Jbourg 2001
Board Meeting - Midrand South Africa - 31 July 2001
A meeting of the board of AfrinNic took place on Tuesday 31st July 2001 at the Uniforum Offices in Jo'burg. Unfortunately we did not have a quorum and consequently it can not be construed as being a formal board meeting. However minutes were taken and a suggested resolution was passed. This mail is intended to form the minutes of the meeting and the rest of the board is requested to make their comments. The aim is to arrive at a consensus on the proposed resolution not later than 10th August, and all BOT are requested to give their input by that date. 1. Attendance: BOT * Theo Kramer * Yan Kwok * Charles Musisi * Richard Bell (Temporary Chair for the duration of the meeting Observers * Brian Longwe * Thomas Senaji * Kyoko Day 1. Agenda * Discuss Action Plan & Proposal from Kyoko Day *
Discuss Presentation by AfriNIC to be made at ACT 2.
Item 1 - Action Plan Kyoko day introduced herself, explaining that she had been the business manager involved in the formation of APNIC, that with the expansion of that organization there was no longer a logical role for her there, and that she was eager to contribute whatever she could to the AfriNIC process. She went through here experience and qualifications in detail. The board asked her to clarify what exactly she was offering and after some discussion it was concluded as follows;
a. Kyoko Day is ready to offer her services for a period of not less than 12 months as the business manager to move the AfriNIC implementation forward. She would be available part time wef mid August and full time from mid November. She would be prepared to relocate to Africa if required but not before the end of November.
b. Kyoko Day would organize her own funding to cover her remuneration and expenses for the duration of her role in getting AfriNIC started. She explained that the Japanese Foreign Ministry had expressed an interest in funding her, and that she was pursuing this. In any case she would work out her own funding. c. Kyoko explained that her role would be to develop and then facilitate the implementation of detailed plans covering the following areas; Financial Plan, HR Plan, Marketing Plan, Operational Technical and Admin Plan, Transition Plan. Kyoko explained that in doing so she would consult with existing RIR's, the BOT and other stakeholders in developing these plans, and that everything would be reported back to the BOT for approval before any action was taken. After some general discussion those present achieved a consensus that her proposal would be in the interests of AfriNIC, and that if approval were given sooner rather than later, she would be able to make some significant progress prior to the interim half yearly board meeting in Cairo in January. It was therefore agreed that a resolution be proposed (we could not pass it since we did not have quorum) and that the rest of the BOT be requested to provide feedback and indicate their agreement (or otherwise) by 10th August: "It is proposed to appoint Kyoko Day as the Interim Business Manager of AfriNIC with the aim of creating the Financial, HR, Marketing, Operational, and Transitionary Plans, to see AfriNIC through from its current state to a fully functional Regional Internet Registry by the end of 2002."

How can we best help African wildlife return to and thrive in their native habitat?
How would you prefer us to contact you?
By EmailBy Phone
Join an Earthwatch team—and an abundance of wildlife, including lions, leopards, and elephants—in Malawi's Majete Wildlife Reserve.
You'll help researchers gather the data they need to best manage the park and make sure all its species thrive. For many years, wildlife of Malawi wasn't doing so well: poachers and habitat destruction reduced populations of many to near-extinction. Then the government started an intensive conservation program aimed at reintroducing iconic species such as the rhino, leopard, and hyena. The Majete Wildlife Reserve is home to a major rehabilitation project, and, as a member of this team, you will help to monitor the reintroduction of native species.
Since 2003, more than 2,500 animals from 14 different species have been reintroduced in Majete. You'll check up on these animals as you walk the park during the day and drive through at night, counting and observing all of the creatures you see. You'll also conduct waterhole counts, during which the team stakes out a spot where animals congregate to make observations. You might also visit to a local school and spend time sorting through camera-trap images, which have already revealed surprises: species the scientists didn't know were in the reserve, and even some poachers that got found out on film.
You'll learn about and do a wide variety of research activities on this expedition, but two things are a constant: you'll see many of Africa's most well-known animals each day as you work, and you'll help make the reserve a safer, healthier place for them in the future.
*Includes accommodations, food, and all related research costs.
12+ days - See all dates
This research will help make Majete a model wildlife reserve that also supports local communities.
Can African wildlife successfully return to their native habitat? Your research will help answer that question.
You'll be part of one of the first research initiatives in the reserve, which is critical to understanding how reintroduced species are faring and what management decisions will help keep the reserve as a whole healthy. For example, scientists recently observed that more hyenas than were previously thought make their home in Majete. The park, then, has significant populations of at least three carnivores (hyenas, lions, and leopards), not just of lions and leopards. Park management had planned to introduce more lions, but might now reconsider to make sure prey species like antelope aren't overstressed.
You'll help with some of the following research: monitoring the success of reintroduced predators (lion and leopard) and their impact on prey species, determining the impact of large herbivores (elephant, buffalo, and rhino) on the habitat, studying the population dynamics and distribution of the spotted hyena, studying how the reintroduced black rhino population is faring in regard to birth and survival rates vs. death rates, determining how many hyenas are in the reserve, and what their habits are.
Your work will help make Majete a model wildlife reserve. The reserve also supports local communities through tourism and educational opportunities, so you will have a positive impact on the people of Malawi as well as the animals.
You will have an important part to play in gathering critical information about animal behavior.
Malawi is known as the Land of the Lake. Lake Malawi, home to an incredible array of fish species, follows the contours of the Rift Valley along the nation's eastern border for 363 miles (584 kilometers). To the west of the lake are no fewer than five national parks, four wildlife reserves, and over 70 protected forest reserves. Malawi has stunning topography, ranging from the heights of the grassland-covered Nyika Plateau in the north to the Shire Valley in the south, where the Majete Wildlife Reserve is located. Mt. Mulanje, a spectacular 250-square-mile (650-square-kilometer) massif, rises in dramatic isolation above the Phalombe Plains, southeast of the expedition rendezvous city of Blantyre. It is topped by the 9,850-foot (3002-meter) Sapitwa Peak, the highest point in central Africa.
Majete Wildlife Reserve is home to lions, leopards, buffaloes, elephants, and rhinos, as well as a large number of antelopes and more than 300 species of birds along the Mkurumadzi and Shire Rivers. Take a guided nature walk, birding walk, or night drive, or climb Majete Hill to take in views of the Shire Valley. Or explore attractions such as Kapichira Falls, Murchison Cataracts, and the Shire River, where you can go fishing. Your team may also be invited to visit Ndakwera village, enjoy a traditional dance performance, or tour the local sugar estate and factory.
This is a summary:
You'll start your expedition by all the training you need to participate. Then you'll:
You'll get a great variety of experiences on this expedition, all while helping to gather critical information about animal behavior.
Volunteers placing a camera-trap.
Join Dr. Leslie in Malawi and learn about poaching that once was rife in the Majete Wildlife Reserve.
Dr. Leslie studies a broad range of species with a common goal to develop management plans for governments, farmers, and wildlife organizations. Dr. Leslie has worked with many Earthwatch volunteers in South Africa, Botswana, and Zambia. She is also a well-known TV personality, having worked with National Geographic television, the BBC, and several other documentary producers.
Your wildlife-viewing opportunities won't end when field work does. Teams stay at the research camp in the Majete Wildlife Reserve, (safely) ensconced in the wilderness for the whole expedition (one team had to stay in camp to let a herd of elephants pass by undisturbed, for example). You'll sleep in individual tents that have cots and basic furniture. Hot showers and electricity are available.
When you're eating, relaxing, or taking in presentations and workshops, you'll gather in the open-air communal lounge. The nearby lodge offers pool privileges, while a small, reserve-owned restaurant and tuck shop makes it easy to supplement available food, though African-style meals are ample. You'll enjoy full-scale hot breakfasts, a variety of lunch options, and traditional African dinners cooked on an open fire. Meals will include fresh fish (when available), beef, chicken, beans with fresh vegetables, rice, and nshima (a traditional maize dish).
Please review this expedition. You may only review expeditions you have been on.

After 12 days I felt like I could stay several more months. Majete is a beautiful place to spend time living outdoors and observing the natural world. The research team at Majete is capable of making you feel like part of the research family. This expedition is a purposeful use of time, where the days of counting at a watering hole are worth every moment.

Great experience! Leaders FaFa and Jeanette are super smart and fun. Park staff were great—open and friendly. We saw loads of wildlife, often at close range as when the nyala, elephants and warthogs wandered near and in the research camp. Be open to the "unadvertised" experiences—lots of interesting birds, extra activities (like tagging along on an attempt to radio-collar a hyena), watching for small as well as large animals, enjoying the sounds, sights, smells and textures of this special environment. Briefing document is mostly accurate—except they require closed shoes in camp. They were not kidding about climbing a tree—our scout told us to climb when he spotted a rhino on our first walking transect! For a preview of the weather, consult the predictions at Chikwawa, not Blantyre which is at higher altitude and much cooler than Majete. Our group had several chances to enjoy some R&R at the Ngoro resort, a short drive from the reserve, low key and lovely place for a drink, meal, and dip in their beautiful pool. On walking transects I wished I had a collapsible trekking stick—to push thorny branches out of the way and help with clambering in and out of stream beds. The other "wish I'd known" was arranging to stay at either the fancy (Mkulumadzi) or more moderate (Thawale) resort for a couple of days after our volunteer stint for complete relaxation and a bit more pampering. If you're considering this trip, I think you'll find it interesting, unique, and fun.

This was another enjoyable African expedition with Earthwatch. The researchers at our camp were very knowledgeable and fun to be around. Our camp was well run and the tents were comfortable and very sturdy. We even had showers and limited hot water (solar heated). The activities were a mix of transect walking, game drive viewing, water hole watches, and camera trap maintenance, all of which gave us the chance to see many animals at fairly close range. Our recreation day allowed several choices. My team all chose a visit to a nearby village where we saw traditional dances and drumming, as well as a variety of village life. As usual, the logistics to make our expedition possible were very well taken care of by Earthwatch.
Kenneth Dubuque | Thursday, August 14, 2014
It was hard work getting up early, living in a tent and taking less-than-hot showers but it was worth it. Locating and observing a wide variety of wildlife in an unspoiled setting in vehicles, on foot and on your rear was really satisfying and educational. The scientists led by Allison Leslie were very informative, supportive and fun. We were also able to connect with the Reserve staff and local community via visits and a soccer game.. The team was great (as they always are), even putting up with my humor. I really felt like I was contributing. Thanks to the team and Allison, Kate, FaFa and Jennette, as well as Sausage!
This was my fifth expedition and I will be planning a sixth.

The Malawi trip was a very nice one, no problems and great people both on staff and in the area. Work was varied and not exceptionally difficult. I was there in August, which is the start of the "cool, dry" season - it was dry but temps were in the 90's; everyone said that was very early for heat.
I did not take the rabies shots, There were no dogs in the camp or at the campground and very few in the villages some miles away. In endemic species there is no history of rabies in the reserve.
The public campground is community operated, is just steps from the research camp and usually is "Earthwatch only". During our stay, there was one overnight group in the raised shelters across the campground for one night and private campers for one night only twice. I actually enjoyed talking to them for the limited amount of time we had together in the public area. The public campground provides the tents which are quite spacious (for tents), furnished with a wooden cot and mattress, small bedside table, and woven reed mats. You can stand up in the tents, which also have a covered "porch" at the entrance. The washhouse is segregated by sex, with each side having two toilets and two toilets, with one washbasin.
Our only "issue" was one night when we couldn't get back to the research camp for about an hour because an elephant herd had moved in to browse - we had to wait for them to move on.

OK, I've posted all my Christmas reviews now, plus the guest posts that I had stacked up since October. But we are still in the middle of NaBloPoMo, so I still have to come up with a post a day for another 12 days, and I have to say that this morning I was hit with the dreaded blogger's block.
In desperation I headed over to look at the new Google Analytics. I thought perhaps I would look and see which of my posts have been the most popular over the past year – then maybe I would get some inspiration as to subject matter to blog on with.
I tried to imagine before I set the report running which my most popular posts of the year would be. The results have certainly surprised me in some areas, but they have definitely given me inspiration for the future as to what exactly the Motivating Mum blog should cover.
I am going to do this in two sections (fills up a blog-dry weekend – plus ten posts is a lot of links to ask you to look at all at once). So here are the 6th to 10th most popular posts that I have made this year – in reverse order, plus a small comment about what I have learned.
I hope you enjoy reading them – please feel free to like, tweet or make comments (with lovely backlinks from commentluv) as you see fit.
10: What to Do When your Computer Crashes This tells me that it is good to blog about disaster. It acts as a warning to others, and also tugs at the emotional heartstrings, as we all think – that could have been me… this also reminds me that I never made good on my promise to blog about all the Cloud solutions that I am now using to stop this from happening to me again. (3-4 extra ideas now added to my blog queue)
9: Free Advertising for Small Businesses This post was written by Natalie Strong, as part of Mummy Mentoring Month. I think the key to this post's popularity is that the title is a keyword that I'm sure a lot of people are looking for.
8: Mumpreneur: Who Me? My take on the news that the word mumpreneur has entered the dictionary. This word splits the community – you either love it or hate it. And anywhere that there are strong emotions, good blogs will follow…
7: Maternity Pay and Allowance for Business Owners This is a great factual post by Ingrid Niang – also part of the Mummy mentoring month series. This post reminds me that one of my core missions is to provide support and advice to businessmums out there – I will be actively searching out more information of this type.
6: What not to Wear for Five Year Olds This was one of my very first blogs – about one of those great parenting dilemmas, and how I solved it. My children are an immense source of inspiration to me.
So there you have it – the first half of my bloggy Top 10. Stay tuned for the Top 5 posts tomorrow. I'd also love to see your Top 10's if you want to share – please leave a comment and a link if you do…

SAN FRANCISCO — Parking in the City by the Bay has always been an expensive challenge, but the BART strike is making many drivers dig deeper into their wallets to find a spot.
Some drivers are reporting private garages are jacking up their rates to take advantage of the demand this week as the transit system shutdown entered its second day Tuesday.
"What do you want from me? It's money," snapped an attendant at a Howard Street lot who was asked why the fee to park there all day went up from $25 on Monday to $30 on Tuesday.
The city does not regulate the prices charged by private garages, but drivers who overstay their welcome at one of the city's coveted parking meters also will be stuck paying more. By complete coincidence, the city just added $2 Monday to what's now the highest-in-the-country fine -- $74 -- for expired parking meters downtown.
Thinking twice about driving to San Francisco now?
Around downtown Tuesday morning, parking prices at privately-owned facilities varied greatly. A garage on Brannan Street was offering $10 spots for the day while a Mission Street garage a few blocks away was charging $40. The rate at a lot on the Embarcadero was $6.50 an hour with a daily maximum charge of $50.
Despite the BART strike, the volume of cars in downtown was "fairly light" Tuesday morning, said Paul Rose, a spokesman for the Municipal Transportation Authority, which flooded streets leading from the Bay Bridge with workers in orange vests tweeting whistles to direct traffic.
Even Monday, when bridge traffic into the city surged, Rose said MTA-owned parking facilities peaked at about 80 percent of capacity. People unfamiliar with the city's parking meters, which take credit cards, may have caught a break if they ran out of time this week.
"Most of our parking patrol officers are being deployed to keep traffic moving," Rose said. There was no increase in the number of parking tickets issued, he added.
But don't get too comfortable.
Tuesday, some private parking facilities were charging more.
"It's supply and demand," reasoned Debbie Levitt, as she paid $30 to park at a lot near Second Street. "This guy usually charges $15 to $20." It was back to $25 in the afternoon.
Levitt said she'd tried to find parking at the Caltrain station in South San Francisco, where she lives, but there was nary an open space. So she drove in.
"I'm a BART rider," she said. "I hope they settle (the strike) so everyone there is happy." A round-trip ticket from South San Francisco to the nearby Montgomery Street station is $7.60.
But the $30 she forked over to park on Tuesday could have been worse. Inside the attendant's booth was a sign that read "$60 Flat Rate. All Day."
"That's a New Year's Eve price," Levitt said.
A worker at the lot said the daily fee had gone up $5 overnight. He declined to give his name or comment further.
From his sidewalk flower shop at Mission and Spear streets, Gary Thorn sees the bustling South of Market neighborhood every day. "They're jacking (prices)," he said of nearby parking lots. "They are sticking it to people. But people are coming in four to car."
At a garage near Mission and Main streets the rate was $40 to park all day, with the $40 portion of sign at the edge of the sidewalk taped over a $25 sign that was still underneath it.
"It's not good," said a man who walked out of the garage into the J.P. Morgan Chase building nearby.
An attendant at the garage declined to discuss its fees and referred questions to a company office where a phone message was not returned. Despite the price, the garage was filled before 10 a.m., with the attendant placing orange cones to block the entrance ramp which was filled with cars.

Born: September 27, 1876, Union City, Indiana
Died: February 3, 1943, Los Angeles, California
Earle Raymond Hedrick was the first president of the MAA. In addition to his involvement with the founding and early years of the MAA, he is known for his mathematics research and editorial work, as well as for his interests in the applications of mathematics to engineering problems and in mathematics education.
Hedrick served as an editor of the American Mathematical Monthlyfrom 1912 to 1915, when many mathematicians were considering whether the American Mathematical Society (AMS) should expand to support the teaching of collegiate mathematics and the Monthly, the only journal on the subject. Hedrick strongly favored this proposal to the suggested alternative of the creation of a new society to cover this field. On April 28, 1914, he wrote,
I am firmly opposed to the creation of an organization other than the Society which should undertake to support the Monthly and ask the support as members of these people. Indeed, unless absolutely forced, I would refuse to join in the formation of such an organization other than the Society.
On April 23 of the following year, the AMS decided not to take over support of the Monthly, instead encouraging the creation of a new society. On December 30-31, 1915, despite his earlier protestation, Hedrick presided over the founding meeting of this society, soon named the Mathematical Association of America. He was elected president.
The first annual summer meeting of the MAA was held September 1-2, 1916, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, near the time of the AMS summer meeting. The second annual winter meeting was held December 28-30 at Columbia University in affiliation with the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Among the 184 attendees were 14 MAA presidents: Hedrick, Cajori, Huntington, Slaught, Smith, Miller, Archibald, Rietz, Coolidge, Jackson, Ford, Young, Carver, and Cairns.
The MAA had more than a thousand individual members by the end of 1916. In his retiring presidential address on "The Significance of Mathematics," Hedrick highlighted the utility of applied mathematics and the need to promote public appreciation of it.
Hedrick earned his bachelor's degree at the University of Michigan from 1892 to 1896. He taught in a high school for a year before pursuing his master's degree at Harvard, which he completed in 1898. On a fellowship, he studied in Germany for two years at the University of Göttingen. Supervised by David Hilbert, he completed his doctorate degree in 1901. He spent part of 1901 on another fellowship at the École Normale Supérieure in France.
Hedrick taught as an instructor at Yale University (1901-1903), a professor at the University of Missouri (1903-1924), and a professor and department head at the University of California at Los Angeles (1924-1937). He was vice president and provost of UCLA from 1937 to 1942.
Hedrick's only Ph.D. student was Eula Adeline Weeks (University of Missouri, 1915). Weeks is profiled in Pioneering Women in American Mathematics: The Pre-1940 PhD's.
In addition to being president of the MAA and editor of the MAA journal, Hedrick was the 1929-1930 president of the AMS and editor of the Bulletin of the AMS from 1921 to 1937.

Savannah Riverkeeper Tonya Bonitatibus (WRDW-TV / March 15, 2012)
EVANS, Ga. (WRDW) -- A popular waterway just off the Savannah River is caught up in a controversy. The Savannah Riverkeeper is angry after she was told a part of the river is privately owned, meaning if you float through, you could be trespassing. The Riverkeeper says it should be a public river and she'll take it all the way to court if she has to.
It all came to light as they were planning their Benderdinker Festival, a kayak and canoe race along a waterway in Columbia County. When they applied to DNR for a permit, they were told they needed the permission of the property owner to use that part of the river.
"Private, public, private, public, same exact waterway," said Riverkeeper Tonya Bonitatibus as she pointed to either side of her boat.
Her boat was sitting on the line between what's considered public and private portions of the river.
"This water comes directly from the Savannah River, it is portions of the Savannah River and we can not get to a point where we are allowing people to privatize the river," she said.
But Georgia's Department of Natural Resources says state law allows landowners to control the water flowing through their property.
"If they pay taxes on both sides in his particular area of the river, it's theirs. It's private property," said Capt. Mark Padgett with the DNR.
"If the landowner wanted to stop people from going up through there, he could," added Sgt. Doyle Chaffin.
The part of the river in question is the backside of an island on the Savannah River where dozens of people canoe, kayak and fish on a daily basis. In this case, the owner is the Champions Retreat Golf Club. A portion of the river with the golf course on both sides is the part that's considered private property.
"This portion of water comes directly from the river at the top of the island and comes back around as it wraps around this island and this is a public waterway," Bonitatibus said. "This is something that belongs to you and me and the children."
DNR says the waterway is not considered navigable, meaning a barge carrying freight couldn't go through it, but Bonitatibus says its a part of the Savannah River.
"Usually this type of situation is had over a 20-foot wide little tiny stream," she said. "Not something that is so clearly an active water body used by so many people. It really kind of blows me away."
She says she plans to take this issue to court if necessary.
"I want there to be a very clear case law from this instance that says is this water navigable or not and I very strongly believe that it is," Bonitatibus said.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says it is considered a navigable waterway because it flows from the Savannah River, but in these situations, state law supersedes that.
The festival did get permission from the property owners for the festival on Saturday, April 27. DNR says they have never had a problem with these owners not allowing people on that part of the river, but Bonitatibus says it shouldn't even be an issue and should be a public waterway.

First: It is only QCad I am now having problems when I try to print. Printing from "all" other software works.
This has happened on MacOSX 10.4, the latest version of it. PPC.
Earlier I used QCad and did print. Then one day QCad crashed and after that I have not succeeded to print. Well, I do not know whether the crash is the reason or not but I think it is now better to tell that it happened. QCad works all fine but it just does not print anymore.
Everything in user interface looks good - as it were printing - but I have observed through user interface of the printer that it receives nothing from QCad. No job to print comes.
I have removed QCad plist from Preferences but it did not help.
Any ideas?


text: How much do you know about fantasy (or sf)? I am posting this in the fantasy board but feel free to discuss where you fall in relation to sf, if it is different. I couldn't think of a clever acronym, but we'll just call this the Fantasy Knowledge Scale. Take my descriptions loosely; you may find that you fit some of one tier and some of another--just try to average it out (NOTE: I've used John Clute's name half-humorously as a kind of barometer--thus the second, joking, name; don't take it too seriously, please). Oh yeah, if you think of a good name for this let me know and I will change it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE FANTASY KNOWLEDGE SCALE, aka THE CLUTOMETER Novice - You're just starting. Maybe you saw Lord of the Rings or read Harry Potter and want to read some fantasy books. You haven't decided whether you like it or not, but are curious. Apprentice - You're a casual fan of fantasy. You've read some of the classics and/or more popular authors such as Tolkien, Brooks, Lewis, Rowling, Jordan (or in sf, Herbert, Clarke, Heinlein, Bradbury, etc). Or you might have found your way into the field through another avenue like horror or a fantastic literary author like Michael Chabon. You've read dozens of fantasy novels but probably not more than a hundred, and you don't have a sense of the history or field as a whole. The name "John Clute" is meaningless to you. You might have an inkling to write a book someday. Journeyman - You're a serious fan, probably life-long. You've read hundreds of books and have a solid sense of the field, although don't necessarily know the history beyond the broad-strokes or have a sense of who wrote when. You read for pleasure and only what suits your interest. You probably don't know who John Clute is, although you might have checked out one of his Encyclopedias for ideas of books to read. This is probably when you decide to either write a book or leave it to your betters. Scholar - You're both a diehard fan and a serious student of the field. You may not have read more than a Journeyman, but you know more about what you haven't read--you have a sense of the history of the field and could place most authors somewhere along the timeline, with at least a general idea how the genre has evolved. You haven't read everything but you hope to gradually fill out the holes in your knowledge and strive for Mastery, to some degree at least. John Clute becomes a source of awe (or disgust), his work a major reference point; you almost certainly own at least the two Encyclopedias at this point, maybe some of his review compilations. You find yourself buying books on genre history and criticism. You may start thinking about writing a book on some aspect of the field. You may have a blog or some other way to communicate and discuss your ideas. Master - You're an authority of the field. You've filled out the holes in your knowledge and have read almost all of the classics and at least one book by almost every significant author, and many others besides. Those classics or authors that you haven't read is by conscious choice and taste, although you have read many books that you didn't enjoy because you felt you should. Clute is like an elder statesman that you refer to although don't always agree with. You either write a book on the field or are working on ideas for one, or you decide not to and focus on your own collection and knowledge. Sage - You've transcended even the authority of mastery and know more about the field than anyone you know, whether in person or via the computer. You could easily teach a graduate program on the field. There is almost certainly no non-vanity published authors that you haven't heard of and you've pretty much read something by almost everyone. John Clute? Phaw! You are beyond Clute. You are the book on fantasy and/or sf. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd call myself a Scholar in both fantasy and sf, although have read more fantasy. I am more serious about writing fantasy than reading and researching it, but I also love reading and am constantly trying to expand my knowledge of the field. I hope to read at least something by most "significant" authors, except those I try and don't like.

9 New Dating Rules for Getting the Guy
"I had a pretty bad break-up with a guy that I was totally in love with a few years back. Luckily, I'm very productive when depressed, so even though my head was constantly spinning with 'what ifs,' I decided to take up drumming. Other than learning 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' on the recorder and 'Chopsticks' on the piano, I'd never learned to play an instrument, and the drums were always something that I was drawn to. I finally decided to invest in myself and get a set. Banging away on the drums turned out to be a pretty good distraction and I've been playing ever since." —Ariana N.
"A year and a half ago, I ended a seven-year off-and-on relationship for what I knew would be the last time. This particular ex was a self-proclaimed music snob and hated pop music. One day I was listening to Beyoncé and thought, 'Hell yeah! I'm listening to Beyoncé! And I will listen as long and loud as I want!' Days, weeks and months of Beyoncé and Justin Bieber later, I still get a kick out of listening to music that would piss him off. And when music fails, nothing beats a weekend out of town with great girlfriends." Lulu F.

Anderson County was among the 29 Tennessee courthouses to receive a bomb threat Tuesday morning, forcing the evacuation of many buildings across the Volunteer State. As of late Tuesday afternoon, however, investigators said no devices were found.
Tennessee became the fourth state to deal with similar bomb hoaxes. One targeted 28 courthouses in Oregon, while threats were also reported in Nebraska and Washington state.
On Tuesday, threats were made in 14 East Tennessee counties alone. Anderson County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Mark Lucas reported that someone at the Anderson County Courthouse received the bomb threat phone call shortly after 11 a.m. Though the Anderson Courthouse was evacuated for about 40 minutes while a search was made, nothing was found.

The city of Marietta has been awarded a $126,169 Ohio Public Works Commission grant to purchase more than 20 acres of platted property for permanent green space that can be used for hiking and biking trails, according to an announcement by Mayor Joe Matthews during Thursday's city council meeting.
The property, being purchased from Bob and Betty Boersma, is located east of Cisler Drive and lies between Gibbons Street and Oak Grove Cemetery.
Councilman Michael Mullen, I-at large, said the property purchase is a plus for the city.
"This will allow generations to enjoy these outdoor spaces within the city," he said. "And I was surprised to learn the city now includes more than 1,000 acres of green space."
Councilman Roger Kalter, D-1st Ward, added that 15 miles of trails have been developed on that acreage.
And Councilman Tom Vukovic, D-4th Ward, said although he's been hesitant to purchase green space properties in the past, the effort is benefiting the city.

If you go
Marietta City Council's finance committee, water, sewer and sanitation committee, and planning, zoning, annexation and housing committee will meet from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the community building at Lookout Park.
The committee meetings will be followed at 4:30 p.m. by a special council session to consider emergency legislation that could not be approved during Thursday's regular meeting because two council members were not present.
All council and committee meetings, except executive sessions, are open to the public.

"I was a prime skeptic of buying green space at first," he said. "But this is enhancing our city and allows the CVB (Marietta-Washington County Convention and Visitors Bureau) to promote Marietta as a destination for off-road bicycling."
In other business, 10 pieces of new legislation was introduced, but no action could be taken because Councilmen Harley Noland, D-at large, and Mike McCauley, D-2nd Ward, could not attend Thursday's meeting.
City law director Paul Bertram III explained that it requires six votes to suspend the rules and pass legislation on the first reading, and only five council members were present Thursday.
Thursday's seven ordinances and one resolution are expected to be approved during a special council session scheduled at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the community building at Lookout Park.
Among the introduced legislation was an ordinance authorizing a project to replace 5.4 miles of city signage with retroreflective signs that include upper- and lower-case lettering. The upgrade is mandated by the federal government, and will cost around $84,000.
City engineer Joe Tucker has said the city may be able to secure 80 percent of that funding in a grant from the Ohio Department of Transportation. The city would pay the remaining 20 percent.
Other new legislation included approval of a $1.6 million upgrade to the Acme, Pike and Jefferson streets intersection, which will include additional turning lanes and improved traffic signalization. Construction work is expected to begin early next year.
Council also began Thursday's meeting by honoring four retiring employees.
Mayor Joe Matthews handed out plaques and certificates of appreciation, expressing the city's thanks to 31-year employee Marvin Mosser who retired from the water and sewer department Dec. 31; 25-year employee Sharon Karcher who retired from the law director's office Nov. 30; 21-year employee Lynn Vermaaten who retired as mayor's secretary Dec. 31; and 15-year employee Ila Cox who retired from the water department Jan. 31.

My workout room is sick! My house is a bit bigger then average so we had a couple rooms that nobody used on our 4th level. When I decided I wanted to go somewhere with basketball as a present my parents started a project to make me a room where I could train comfortably in every day.
They knocked down the wall inbetween two rooms and then dug out the carpet and lay down a limestone foundation which was then covered with a shorter more comfortable carpet. Along with this they had a custom Nike Basketball made that bounces off of limestone so now instead of going to LifeTime to train every day I just go to my "Man Cave" It's sweet I got my own TV down there and sometimes I have sleepovers down there with my girlfriend and some friends. As for my shot, our neighborhood kinda sucks as our neighbors are "snobby or stuck up" so instead of having a hoop on the side of the road, I have a 10 foot reclining Nike hoop down in a cul de sac. I just take a 10 minutes jog down there and then I can shoot hoops for hours.
Anyways, my question is where do you guys train? Do you just train on your driveway, at lifetime, or do you have a little setup at your house like me?
I train at the local gym in my town. During the week I lift and train, but later I play pickup basketball on the courts in the gym. This is all during the offseason of AAU.
I sometimes go to the gym but that's just for pickup games. Do you play in a local league along with AAU?
I try to train everywhere. Most of the time I train at my house, at the local park, or at my school.
My driveway i use for ball-handling because it is pretty narrow, but the length almost of a full-court, then sometimes I train or play pickup at my towns rec center, but primarily I work out with my old middle school coach turned trainer. He lives next to an old church and has the keys to the churches gym so he works me out 7 days a week for free. He just loves basketball and has been working people out for years so he works me out now. Pretty sweet; the level of drills I get from paying for these "elite trainer clinics" i get for free just 2 blocks from my house!

Fox News is doing its best (worst?) these days to convince its gullible viewers that Robert Bergdahl, the father of former POW Bowe Bergdahl, is some kind of radical Muslim.
But the evidence tells us otherwise.
It seems that the elder Bergdahl actually has a lot in common with the typical Fox viewer — except, of course, for his age and gullibility.

White Marlin
Category: Nature
Photo and caption by Peter Allinson
I spent about 8 hours each day in my wet suits sitting on the transom waiting for a fish to rise to check out the baits. After the second day with no results we were getting discouraged, at the end of the 3rd and final day about 30 minutes before we had to turn back to shore, a white marlin rose to check out the bait. I slipped in the water and swam towards the marlin and was lucky enough to get this rare photo of one underwater.

Hewlett-Packard's plan to pay shareholders' lawyers as much as $48 million to help sue former Autonomy executives was rejected by a judge who said such a provision shouldn't be part of an accord shielding the company's management from claims over the botched acquisition.
The lawyer fee arrangement with Cotchett Pitre & McCarthy is "potentially fatal" to winning approval of a settlement that would protect Hewlett-Packard and target former Autonomy managers for investor claims over an $8.8 billion loss tied to the Autonomy purchase, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer said Monday at a hearing in San Francisco.
Former Autonomy chief financial officer Sushovan Hussain, one of the executives Hewlett-Packard has said it will sue, is seeking to challenge the settlement, saying Hewlett-Packard executives shouldn't be allowed to escape blame.
John Keker, Hussain's attorney, told Breyer today that the agreement between HP and the Cotchett firm was a "whitewash" and an attempt to cover up wrongdoing.
"This is a joke," Keker said. "If this was a carcass, animals would walk around it, it stinks so much."
Executives at Hewlett-Packard and Autonomy have been sparring over who's to blame for the 2012 writedown over the acquisition. Hewlett-Packard alleged the U.K.-based software company had accounting irregularities and that Hewlett-Packard was the victim of fraud by Autonomy management. Former Autonomy executives contend Palo Alto-based Hewlett-Packard was at fault.
Marc Wolinsky, a lawyer for Hewlett-Packard, said in court that the company will sue Deloitte's U.K. business unit over its role in auditing financial results at the British software maker. He said Hewlett-Packard also will file lawsuits in California against others whom he didn't name and who can't be sued in the U.K.
The fee arrangement wasn't final and can be removed from the proposed settlement, Wolinsky and shareholder attorney Joseph Cotchett said.
The settlement calls for Hewlett-Packard to adopt governing procedures to review potential mergers and acquisitions and no payment for shareholders. It also included a provision for the Cotchett firm to receive from $18 million to $48 million in fees to assist in litigation against Autonomy founder Lynch and Hussain.
Breyer scheduled a Sept. 26 hearing to review the revised settlement and consider requests by Hussain and some shareholders seeking to intervene in the case to object to the accord.
"We will continue to work to have the derivative actions settled or dismissed and to hold the former executives of Autonomy as well as Autonomy's auditor, Deloitte UK, responsible for the wrongdoing that occurred," Sarah Pompei, a Hewlett- Packard spokeswoman, said in an email.
James Igoe, a spokesman for Deloitte, said in an email that "any possible claim would be utterly without merit."
"Deloitte was not engaged by HP, or by Autonomy, to provide any due diligence in relation to the acquisition of Autonomy," Igoe said. "Deloitte UK was auditor to Autonomy at the time of its acquisition by HP. Deloitte UK conducted its audit work in full compliance with regulation and professional standards."
Shareholders sued Hewlett-Packard and its top executives claiming the computer-maker ignored warnings about Autonomy's accounting and mismanaged the buyout.
Lawyers for investors in three of the lawsuits said in court filings in June that they were dropping claims against Hewlett-Packard after an internal review committee concluded HP executives weren't to blame. The plaintiffs said they would assist the company in suing ex-Autonomy chief executive officer Mike Lynch and Hussain.

OAKLAND -- An Oakland youth radio station covering the George Zimmerman trial and verdict is one of the many businesses that fell victim to vandalism Monday during the third day of protests in the city.
The crowd of several hundred were protesting Saturday's acquittal of Zimmerman in Florida, leaving damage in their wake. During the protesters' marches, more than a dozen businesses were vandalized, including Youth Radio on Broadway.
"Youth Radio is seen as a community institution that Oaklanders are proud of, so we were surprised our windows were broken," said Richard Raya, executive director of Youth Radio. "It makes you wonder if the folks who did it really know about Oakland."
Youth Radio, which works with young people ages 18 to 24, has been around for 20 years. The purpose of the station is to prepare youths for college and for a career using digital media skills. Youths at the station have been out in the field following the protests and interviewing people, as well as working on commentaries, perspectives and op-ed pieces on the Zimmerman trial.
Denise Tejada, multimedia assistant producer, began working at the radio station when she was a sophomore in high school. Now 24, Tejada primarily works with youth reporters in producing multimedia stories for local and national outlets.
Tejada said she agrees with one of her students who said if people knew what Youth Radio does for young people, they wouldn't have vandalized the station.
"Our main goal is to make sure there is an outlet for people to express themselves, but not by smashing windows," Tejada added. "We're going to continue getting the voices of young people out, and this is not going to stop us from doing that."
Raya said when he arrived at the station late last night to clean up the mess from the three broken windows, there was a small crowd of people gathered who were also in shock that the radio station had been hit.
Issa Eismont, manager of Dogwood bar, was one of the people who helped Raya and three other Youth Radio staff clean up the mess from the broken windows. Eismont said he and other bar employees yelled at protesters who were smashing Youth Radio windows.
"Yeah, way to go. Nonprofit radio for underprivileged is really the enemy," Eismont said sarcastically. "Everybody is just struggling to get by, trying to revitalize Oakland and make it a vibrant place to be. This is shameful and makes Oakland look really bad."
Although the station will have to replace the thick, soundproof windows that were broken, which Raya estimates to be very expensive, he said the station will continue its focus on reporting moving forward.
"I think the George Zimmerman verdict is something we all need to reflect upon as a nation, and that's what we're focused on here in the newsroom," Raya said. "The vandals are just a small part of that larger discussion that we're having."

Application launcher and much more.
Quicksilver is a unified, extensible interface for working with applications, contacts, music, and other data.
Anyone using a computer (and the Macintosh is no exception) spends a lot of time locating files and applications, and then carrying out actions on those items. The Finder is a reasonably good tool for getting a visual overview of the contents of your disk, but it isn't ideal for quickly locating and manipulating files, especially if you have a deep and complicated folder structure, or if you prefer keyboard navigation to using the mouse.
Quicksilver allows you to find what you need quickly and easily, while keeping your hands on the keyboard. For example, if you want to launch an application hidden in the depths of your file system, simply activate Quicksilver with a keystroke, type a few letters of the application's name, then hit Return or Enter to launch it. When you don't need Quicksilver, it keeps out of your way, preserving precious screen real estate, and yet you can summon it instantly with a key stroke - just like Mercury the winged messenger. Actually, Roman mythological texts are remarkably silent on whether Mercury could be summoned with a key stroke, but it would have been great if he could. Quicksilver will certainly make you feel as if you have god-like powers.

I'm using it since yesterday, I wonder how I could live without it.
exilio, not an update in 4-5 months? Seems to me almost every time I press apple-space, quicksilver asks to be restarted because there has been an update :)
No Mac should be without it. Period. Try it. Use it for a week. If you don't love it you probably don't understand its feature set. Speedy, small footprint, can't live without it.
Great program, i use it everyday.
Ofter the longer I use a program the less I need it and the more it becomes a gimic. Quicksilver started as an application launched and as other (gimic) programs showed me a need, I would diccover a plugin or action in Quicksilver that fullfilled that need. I can't use the other Macs around the office anymore.
hi from Chile.
quicksilver is simply the best launcher app. Fast, ligth and it can do anything. Just download it and try.
Quicksilver easily replaces hundreds of small freeware/shareware applications. If someone I know have found a nifty application that does the task x on your Mac, my standard reply is "Oh, Quicksilver has that one built in".
I personally prefer LaunchBar, becasue the keyboard shortcuts make more sense the handling is better and I end up using one or two clicks or keystrokes less than I would have to use with QS.
Also I like to give credit where credit is due and QS was quite frankly taking the idea from LaunchBar which was AFAIK the first keystroke launcher for OS X. And LaunchBar also seems to better adjust to my keystrokes.
Can't be without it.
best launcher and trigger ever, i couldn't imagine using my mac without it
