The Marietta Police Department called in the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation Tuesday to investigate a possible homicide on Groves Avenue in Marietta.
Yellow caution tape roped off the mobile home at 139 Groves Ave. Tuesday evening where a 68-year-old white male was found dead on arrival earlier in the day, said Marietta Police Department Capt. Jeff Waite.
Police were reluctant to give out details, citing the ongoing investigation, but said they planned to release the victim's name this morning.

Investigator Shane Hanshaw from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation collects evidence outside the 139 Groves Ave. home where a 68-year-old man was found dead Tuesday afternoon. The death is being investigated as a homicide, but the Marietta Police Department will not definitively say if they suspect murder.
However, next door, 47-year-old neighbor Mark Swaney watched in shock as an investigator pulled what appeared to be a bloody towel from a burn barrel in the back yard.
"One of the officers was taking pictures of the area and he goes to photograph inside this barrel and it looks like he sees something," said Swaney.
The officer then pulled out a towel covered with dark crimson stains and then went to relay what he had found to other officers, said Swaney.
Fact Box
At a glance
- The Marietta Police Department and Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation are investigating a possible homicide.
- A 68-year-old Marietta resident was found dead Tuesday at 139 Groves Ave., the home of an acquaintance.
- The home's resident, Richard Haught Jr., and several neighbors were questioned, but no one had been taken into custody late Tuesday.
- A next door neighbor watched an investigator retrieve what appeared to be a bloody towel from a burn barrel in the backyard of the mobile home.
- Police are withholding the name of the deceased pending notification of the family.

"Seeing him find that towel was like something you'd watch on Discovery or Syfy," said Swaney.
Despite the presence of BCI and the red-stained towel hanging in the backyard after its discovery, the Marietta Police Department will not definitively say they believe the death is a result of murder or suicide.
"Any death that is not attended by a physician is treated as a possible homicide," said Sgt. Greg Nohe, who added that he was called to the scene around 12:30 p.m.
The deceased male was not the home's owner, but rather an acquaintance of the man who lived there, he said. Nohe identified the dead man as a Marietta resident, but would not say if he lived nearby.
Richard Haught Jr. lives at 139 Groves Ave., said neighbor Jeff Harris, who was shocked to learn of a possible murder in the neighborhood.
"It's pretty much an older neighborhood and it stays pretty quiet," said Harris.
But Haught's home had not been quiet Monday night, said Swaney.
"It was just really loud music all night (Monday) night," he said.
Nohe said the department had not received any noise complaints regarding the residence Monday night or early Tuesday.
Nohe would not comment on the nature of the death or whether a weapon was found in the home.
Aside from questioning neighbors, Nohe would not say if they were looking for anyone else for questioning.
The home's resident had been questioned but not taken into custody, he said.
"No one has been charged with anything as a result of this dead body," said Nohe.
The city was not releasing the name of the deceased Monday night, pending notification of the family.
Nohe anticipated investigators would be on scene until late in the night. The body was expected to be removed around 11 p.m. and transported to the Montgomery County Coroner's Office in Dayton for an autopsy, he said.

When: Saturday, Dec. 1
Time: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: Eagle River Center at the Eagle County Fairgrounds
Hosted by NRC 360, this event is the biggest craft and gift fair downvalley.
"This event supports locals and you can find almost everything. We have more than 60 vendors," said Holli Snyder, NRC 360 general manager. "People are really excited about the fair this year."
Snyder said the event features a great variety of holiday collectibles, wearables and edibles in a festive atmosphere. Carolers will be performing throughout the day and a number of children's activities are planned on site. Santa will be on site to hear gift requests and pose for photos.
"This will be a great kickoff for the holiday season, and to continue to bring events like this to the town of Eagle, people need to show up and support them," said Snyder.
When: Saturday, Dec. 1
Time: 4 to 6 p.m. - Shopping
5:15 p.m. - Parade line-up on Fifth Street
6 p.m. - Parade down Broadway
Where: Downtown Eagle
For more than 20 years now, Eagle has launched the holiday season with this special evening shopping and nighttime parade event.
According to Taylor Slaugh of the Eagle Chamber, downtown businesses will serve special treats and offer special shopping deals during Christmas on Broadway. The Edward Jones office will have cookie decorating set up for kids and Sandra Houghton, author of the children's book "Sleep Comes to You," will have a book-signing outside The Nearly Everything Store. Additionally, her book will be offered for sale for $12.95 rather than its on-line price of $19.99.
"Santa will be on the porch of Studio B Hair Salon to visit after the parade," Slaugh said.
As for the parade, it is always a big hit for the Christmas on Broadway event. According to organizer Michelle Morgan, entries will be accepted up until line-up, which begins at 5:15 p.m. along Fifth Street. The entry fee is $10.
Morgan is appealing to both parade entrants and spectators to be safety cautious.
"Because this is a night-time parade and it is dark outside, we are asking everyone to keep safety in mind and refrain from throwing candy from moving floats or vehicles," said Morgan. "Last year there was an issue with kids running out in the street to get candy and float and vehicle drivers were unable to see them."
She said that parade participants will be asked to walk along side their entries if they want to distribute candy. Additionally, Eagle Police and Eagle Chamber volunteers will be stationed along the parade route to encourage spectators to remain at the curb. Morgan is looking for locals who would be willing to help with this safety effort. Please contact her at 970-471-2294 to volunteer or with questions about how to enter the parade.
The parade will get under way at 6 p.m. and will conclude with the arrival of Santa.
When: Tuesday, Dec. 4
Time: 6 p.m.
Where: Eagle Ranch Village
Eagle Ranch's traditional tree lighting ceremony and shopping event continues the holiday happenings in town next week.
The official Eagle Ranch tree is located east of the James Lee School of Champions studio along Sylvan Lake Road. During the tree lighting festivities Eagle Ranch Village merchants will offer special discounts and activities including the following:
• Slifer Smith and Frampton Real Estate Office - Visit with Santa and his Elf
• Peridot - Refreshments and all products, jewelry and accessories will be 20 percent off
• Axis Sports Medicine - Free seasonal wellness check
• MF Inc. - Decorating ideas and 20 percent discounts
• HP Provisions - Decorate a gingerbread house and buy one pizza, get one half-off
When: Tuesday, Dec. 4 - 5:30 to 7 p.m.
Thursday through Saturday, Dec. 6-8 - 5:30 to 7 p.m.
Thursday through Saturday, Dec. 13-15 - 5:30 to 7 p.m.
Thursday through Saturday, Dec. 20-22 - 5:30 to 7 p.m.
Where: Commercial space next to Eagle Family Dentistry
Eagle resident Sig Bjornson will again assemble his elaborate miniature Christmas village and train display to delight and benefit local kids.
Bjornson is an architect, a model train enthusiast and the creator of "Dickensville," an elaborate miniature world of perpetual Christmas, where six model trains run through four levels of a town that has grown bigger every year for nearly two decades.
While the village fascinates and delights visitors of all ages, for the past couple of years it has also benefited kids who are looking at a lean holiday. While kids are admitted for free to see the display, adults are asked to bring an unwrapped toy or a $5 donation to benefit the Salvation Army's toy drive.
Eagle residents and businesses are lending a hand to the needy.
As the need for food assistance steadily rises each year across the county, the community is doing a great job responding but more is still needed, said Vail Valley Salvation Army Director Tsu Wolin-Brown.
"We are so grateful for the surge of recent support but we always need more these days," Wolin-Brown said.
Across the county, there were more than 5,400 requests for food aid last year compared to 357 in 2008. Wolin-Brown expects even more this year. About 600 food baskets were sent out for Thanksgiving and a greater number of baskets will be packed and delivered Dec. 15.
Helping for the Holidays
Eagle has a few options for those who want to chip in. Joining the effort this year is a drive by the Broadway business district called "Helping for the Holidays."
Non-perishable food or household necessities can be dropped off at any Broadway business in Eagle through Saturday, Dec. 1. Some businesses are offering deals in return. For example, Rouge Consignment Boutique is giving 15 percent off one item for each item donated to the food drive.
Rouge owner Joselyn Brubaker said she recently initiated the drive with an email to other Broadway business owners.
"I read how food banks around here are in desperate need and felt we could do something," she said.
To find updates on the Helping for the Holidays drive, including deals and discounts, visit the Historic Downtown Eagle Facebook page.
An ad for the drive points out that useful items include diapers, soap, baby formula and toilet paper besides the usual types of donations, such as canned goods and dry food. Make sure food items are sealed properly and not expired.
Donations will go to the Vail Valley Salvation Army, which operates the Eagle Food Pantry.
Eagle Ranch area
For the fifth year, Eagle Ranch merchants are participating in the Land Title Guarantee Company Food Drive. Items may be dropped off with any Eagle Ranch business before Dec. 16. Donations will go to the Vail Valley Salvation Army.
"This drive has been growing every year as more people find out about it," said Eagle Ranch Association Manager Erin Vega.
Eagle Food Pantry
Of course direct donations to the Salvation Army's food bank in Eagle are always welcome, too. Donations are accepted from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The Pantry is at 425 East Third St. The bank is in the basement of the United Methodist Church of Eagle Valley but is run separately from the church.
"We have so many people come in, the food goes quickly," Wolin-Brown said.
"We are still desperate for bell-ringers as well," Wolin-Brown said.
Salvation Army bell-ringers stand by "red kettles," soliciting money donations at various storefronts. City Market in Eagle and Columbine Market in Gypsum have red kettles available for donations but more volunteers are needed to run the locations.
"A bell-ringer brings in an average of $60 an hour," Wolin-Brown said. "Anyone who wants to volunteer at a specific location can go onto our website and tell us which store they want to work at and we will put them directly in touch with the captain of that area."
The region's Salvation Army website is www.salvationarmyvail.org.

If the true spirit of Christmas is in giving not getting, many in Washington County should be feeling very merry and decidedly spirited about now.
Numerous businesses, organizations, church groups and schools across the county have opened their hearts and their pocketbooks this yuletide season to give cash and food donations to area food pantries.
A large $250 donation made last week to the Community Food Pantry of Marietta was a pleasant surprise for volunteers there, and ultimately for those the pantry serves.

SHARON BOPP The Marietta Times
Norma Schultheis, 70, of Whipple and Joe Kurtz, 82, of Marietta pack a box of food for a family of four at Marietta's First Congregational Church Tuesday. Area food pantries have received numerous donations of food and money from businesses, organizations, church groups and schools across Washington County this holiday season.
"Donation checks are usually between $25 and $100," said director Bill Farnsworth.
The generous check was from chapter 8400 of the Ohio Civil Service Employees Association, he added.
In a clever holiday twist, servers at the Shoney's Restaurant in Marietta will turn over their order pads to "celebrity" servers from Marietta-based Gospel Mission Food Pantry from 5 to 7 p.m. today.

"The Gospel Mission Food Pantry is something that's dear to us," said Lu Walton, Shoney's assistant restaurant manager. "Candy (Waite, food pantry director) is a really special person, and we want to help them."
"And there's a lot of hunger in our area," she added.
Students at Waterford High School donated more than 400 food items to the Beverly-Waterford Food Pantry in Beverly earlier this month, according to Kirsten Goeller, student council advisor.
In addition to the food drive sponsored by the Waterford High School Student Council, members of the Spanish Club also donated $300 to the Beverly-based food pantry.
"There's a real spirit of giving," Goeller said. "You could see just how happy students were to be helping people less fortunate, especially this time of the year."
At Marietta High School, the Students Against Drunk Drivers group spent Dec. 10 to 14 encouraging fellow students to donate cash and food for Gospel Mission Food Pantry.
"Kids will rise up to the occasion," said Cathy Harper, coordinator of the Right Path for Washington County, which helped with the high school's food drive.
"Food drives are something students can many times relate to. They know someone in their circle of friends that has needed a little lift up," she said.
The holiday help provided by Marietta High School students resulted in thousands of food items collected, plus $400 in cash raised by a $1 admission fee paid by those attending a Dec. 14 dodge ball tournament called "Let's Dodge Hunger."
All the food and money raised in the days and nights before Christmas will be put to good use by the 11 food pantries throughout Washington County and the 17 West Virginia counties served by the Wood County Emergency Food Co-op in Parkersburg.
Through the annual Send Help campaign, sponsored by The Marietta Times and WMOA-AM 1490, county residents and groups can send donations directly to one of these food pantries.
The need for donations of food and money remain higher than in past years for the Beverly-Waterford Food Pantry in Beverly, Community Food Pantry of Marietta and Marietta's Gospel Mission Food Pantry.
"Definitely there's a major increase in the number of people that need help with food at Gospel Mission," said Waite. "It's a very bad time for a lot of people."
It's not clear why the need has increased this year at the Beverly-Waterford Food Pantry, said co-director Jo Teters. "Maybe word of mouth is spreading for people who don't know about us and need (help)."
Kate Portue, 52, of Marietta said people at the Gospel Mission Food Pantry "have been awesome to my family."
She is living on her own for the first time, has bills related to moving and lives on a fixed income with her disability check.
"We would not have had staples to make it through the holiday without the food pantry," said Portue.
Gospel Mission also provides a holiday helping hand to Ariel Andrews, 19, of Belpre, who is looking for a job and is scrambling to make rent payments and keep the utilities on.
"Candy Waite pretty much helps me in every aspect of the holidays-meals, toys and winter clothes," she said.
Ashley Mayle, 22, of Marietta appreciates that Gospel Mission Food Pantry meets her needs for groceries, especially at Christmastime, since she is unemployed and her boyfriend works in Macksburg which requires extra gas for his car.
"I do still have to go out and buy (presents) for my mom, dad and boyfriend. And you need to worry about bills first," she said.
Each week during the holiday season the Community Food Pantry of Marietta serves 100 to 125 households.
"We try to supply stuffing and potatoes that could be used for Christmas dinner," said Farnsworth.
By the second week in December, Waite's food pantry had already helped 300 families.
"We expect that to go very high with it being the last Wednesday before Christmas," she said.
Waite, Farnsworth and Teters all stressed the importance of remembering those in need of food throughout the year.
"Right now, we are blessed with the support we've gotten for the Christmas season, but we also need it throughout the year," said Teters. "People are hungry every day."

PASADENA - When the 27th Annual Black History Parade rolls down Fair Oaks Avenue on Saturday, there will be an extra feeling of celebration in the air, Grand Marshal Lena Kennedy said Thursday.
After all, she said, history has been made with the election of the country's first African-American President.
"I think there is a different feeling - the entire world is celebrating," said Kennedy, a political consultant who was a member of Obama's National Finance Committee and national chairwoman of the Women's Leadership Initiative.
"There will be a different energy and a true appreciation for the legacy of what has gone before us," she said. "We in Pasadena are coming together and celebrating black history, but also the accomplishment of all our efforts to get President Obama elected.
Kennedy, who organized four fundraisers in Pasadena, has said locals raised around $1 million for the Obama campaign.
The parade and festival will follow much the same pattern as in previous years, said Travis Emerson, community services director at Jackie Robinson Center.
"Our headline group at the festival will be Delphonics Revue, an R&B singing group," Emerson said. "In the parade, we have bands from Pasadena High School, Muir High School and Eliot Middle School, and a lot of community groups."
Celebrity guests include television produced Ken Whittingham and actor James Reynolds from "Days of Our Lives," Emerson said. The Wells Fargo stagecoach will be back, plus the John Muir Drumline. The festival will feature food, entertainment, vendors and information booths.
Joe Brown, president of the Pasadena NAACP, said there was a "lot of excitement" about this year's parade.
"People can see the reality now of linking our past to changes in the future," he said. "We in the African-American community can look forward to change, even in the participation of young people ... who see they can accomplish their goals if they stay on track."
Kennedy said she was thrilled to receive a hometown honor.
"It's nice to be recognized by the community you grew up in - these are people who really know me," she said.
Black History Month, honoring often overlooked people and events, still has a place outside the mainstream, Kennedy said.
"Just because we have an African American President does not mean all our problems have been solved," she said. "But it means we're moving in the right direction."

Model(s): 1996-99 Chrysler (NS) Town & Country 1996-99 Chrysler (GS) Voyager 1996-98 Jeep (ZJ) Grand Cherokee 1996-98 Jeep (ZG) Grand Cherokee (International Market) The Memory Seat/Mirror Module (MSMM) (on ZJ/ZG the module is for the seat only) detects and remembers where the end of seat travel (called "soft stop") is in each direction. A soft stop is set in MSMM memory when the position sensing feedback voltage, controlled by a potentiometer on the motor end, fails to change. The feedback voltage potentiometers vary the position sensing feedback voltage based on seat position/movement (no movement, no change in position sensing feedback voltage). The seat motor automatically stops at the soft stop on any subsequent movement so the motor does not run into a stall condition (end of travel). The soft stop limits will be updated any time the MSMM senses a mechanical stall (such as when something is stuck under or behind the seat that causes the seat to stop moving). These soft stops can prevent the seat from being able to have memory positions set over the full range of travel. Also, positions that were previously programmed to locations beyond an updated soft stop limit will not be recalled as they are "out of range."

Extract from The Crocodiles by Youssef Rakha
24. Today, I'm convinced we were a room no one managed to enter except three lovers. Of them, it's Moon who figures in memory or imagination, though the last to reach us: the shade for whose sake we left a door ajar. As if the other two got in by mistake. Is it because we never knew from where she came or where she went after it all came to an end? Was it for the sake of the tomboy traits, which were to lead us to covet one woman above all others in our circle? Moon was the closest to us in age and the only poet. Perhaps for her hyper-insubstantiality and her retention—despite the slightness and small size—of a lion's charisma, perhaps because she was the most changeable and extreme, the one whose behavior it was impossible to predict from one day to the next, we left a door ajar for Moon.

Nadella Taps Qualcomm's Peggy Johnson for Senior Executive Role
Six months into his post as Microsoft chief executive, Satya Nadella made his first major executive appointment, plucking Peggy Johnson from chip maker Qualcomm.
Microsoft hired Johnson as head of business development, which means she's responsible for the company's partnerships with hardware makers, big-ticket customers and influential people in the technology industry. Johnson is filling the role left vacant since March by the departure of Tony Bates as part of a Nadella management shakeup. Bates now is president of video camera maker GoPro.
Johnson's hiring stands out for two reasons: she's an outsider, and a female senior executive.
The lion's share of Microsoft's highest-ranking executives – including Nadella – have worked at Microsoft for a decade or more.
Johnson's appointment also means three of Microsoft's 15 most senior executives, or 20%, are women. That proportion is higher than women in senior levels at Apple or Google, and comes at a time when the tech industry is under more scrutiny than ever before for the dearth of women and other underrepresented groups in their workforce or senior ranks.
In 24 years at Qualcomm, Johnson has worked in engineering, sales and marketing roles. Most recently she was responsible for turning some of Qualcomm's nascent businesses into money makers, and for working on partnerships crucial to the chip maker.
Johnson, who holds an electrical-engineering degree, also has a quirky streak. Her most recent post on Twitter was a photo of her posing with stars of zombie-themed TV series "Walking Dead" at nerd-fest ComicCon.

SANTA CLARA -- David Akers showed no obvious signs of a pelvis injury while kicking field goals in Wednesday's practice.
Akers' ailment prompted the 49ers to try out two free agents Tuesday. Neither Billy Cundiff nor Nate Kaeding was signed, and Akers' injury isn't believed to be serious.
"David Akers is working through something, and we want to be sure we have a Plan B," coach Jim Harbaugh said.
Late in Sunday's 31-21 win at New Orleans, Akers fell to the turf when his kicking foot got clipped by the Saints' Malcolm Jenkins on a 33-yard field-goal attempt, which Jenkins blocked.
It was the eighth failed field goal in 27 attempts by Akers, who set NFL records last season by making 44 of 52 attempts. Akers is 7 of 14 on attempts of at least 40 yards, including a missed 41-yard try in overtime of the 49ers' Nov. 11 tie with the St. Louis Rams, who host the 49ers on Sunday.
Both Cundiff and Kaeding have seen their careers derailed by playoff struggles. Cundiff missed a last-minute, 32-yard field-goal attempt in last year's AFC Championship loss by the Baltimore Ravens. Kaeding was 8 of 15 on postseason field-goal attempts during his Chargers career, which started in 2004 and ended earlier this season.
"I'm just stating facts and not complaining," Fisher added. "Everybody does it, and Justin does a great job of it. As long as his feet are moving toward the quarterback, it won't be called. It's a legal act. Now if he grabs and pulls backward -- a pull and shoot -- it's not necessarily legal, but it's not something that's going to be called."
Brandon Jacobs, LaMichael James and Anthony Dixon were listed by Harbaugh, in that order, as running backs who'll have to fill Hunter's void as Frank Gore's top backup. James, who has been close with Kaepernick since arriving for offseason workouts, said: "If I get the opportunity to play with him, it'll be fun."

Neuroscience at UWM
Neuroscience is the study of the brain and nervous system and involves scientists and technical approaches from many traditional disciplines in the life sciences. At UWM, neuroscience research and graduate training involves faculty, students, and postdoctoral researchers from several academic departments.
Research Areas
UWM neuroscience faculty are engaged in research on several important questions. This work is funded by research grants from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation as well as several private foundations and the private sector. Multiple approaches and levels of analysis are represented by the various laboratories including behavioral, cellular, cognitive, molecular, and systems neuroscience. Specific areas of interest include molecular signaling and neural development, hormonal control of behavior and reproduction, and the neurobiology of memory and cognition in humans and laboratory animals. Specific research interests are listed on the individual faculty pages linked at the left.
Graduate Program
Graduate students pursue interdisciplinary coursework and independent research leading to the M.S. or Ph.D. in Biological Sciences or Psychology. Prospective students should apply to either program with the choice of department determined by the student's specific interests and choice of major professor. Specific admissions requirements and instructions may be obtained elsewhere on this server through the links above.
Undergraduate Program

A Rochester man now faces multiple charges, including DWI, after he allegedly failed to turn on his headlights.
On Aug. 17 at 1:06 a.m. Canandaigua City Police charged James A. Fulton, 29, of 93 Parcells Ave, Rochester, with driving while intoxicated (DWI) and first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, a class E felony. Police said Fulton was allegedly operating on a suspended license.
Additional charges of second-degree criminal impersonation and false personation, both misdemeanors, were added because Fulton allegedly gave a false name and date of birth, police said.
The initial traffic stop was executed when police said they observed a vehicle driving on South Main Street without its headlights on. Fulton was also charged with driving without headlights, then taken to the Ontario County Jail pending arraignment.

Science Features
The nearly four million miles of streams and rivers woven through the landscape of the United States form an immense natural resource and supply many societal benefits. Streams and rivers provide water for cities and farms; they provide recreational, cultural, and aesthetic benefits; and they nourish a rich variety of plant and animal species. Changes in land use and increasing demands for freshwater pose risks to the health of streams and rivers and to the benefits they provide to society.
Recognizing the need for a comprehensive investigation of stream health across the country, the U.S. Geological Survey has conducted a national stream health assessment that is unprecedented in the breadth of its measurements. The recently published report includes wide-ranging assessments of multiple biological communities that indicate stream health, careful estimates of the extent of streamflow modifications across the country, and measurements of over 100 chemical constituents in water and streambed sediments.
A measure of health
The quality of streams and rivers is often evaluated by simply measuring the chemical or physical properties of water. However, a more complete picture comes into view when the biological communities that live in streams are also assessed. These aquatic biological communities ŌĆö namely, algae, macroinvertebrates, and fish ŌĆö provide added crucial information because they live within streams for weeks to years. Through time, they integrate the effects of long-term changes to their chemical or physical environment. Consequently, biological communities function as a direct measure of stream health by indicating the ability of a stream to support aquatic life. The condition of biological communities, in combination with key physical and chemical properties, provides a comprehensive assessment of stream health.
Findings at a glance┬Ā┬Ā┬Ā
Stream health was reduced at the vast majority of streams assessed in agricultural and urban areas. In these areas, at least one of the three aquatic communities was altered at 83 percent of the streams assessed. In contrast, nearly one in five streams in agricultural and urban areas was in relatively good health, signaling that it is possible to maintain stream health in watersheds with substantial land and water-use development.
Multiple factors in stream health
A major challenge to understanding why stream health is reduced is unraveling the effects of many interacting natural and human-caused factors. When stream health is diminished, scientists and managers become environmental detectives in order to determine which physical or chemical factors have been modified by human activity sufficiently to alter biological communities.
No single physical or chemical factor was universally associated with reduced stream health across the Nation, but three factors were significant across the country: streamflow modification, elevated levels of nutrients, and elevated levels of pesticides.
Streamflow modification
Flowing water is the defining feature of streams, yet streamflows across the Nation have been modified by land and water management, leading to reduced stream health. ┬ĀStreamflow modification is such a critical factor in stream health because the life cycles of many native fish species are synchronized withŌĆöand therefore dependent uponŌĆöthe timing and variation in natural streamflow patterns.
Annual low and high streamflows were modified in 86 percent of the streams assessed. Over 70,000 dams and diversions contribute to modified streamflows across the Nation.
Elevated levels of nutrients
Excess concentrations of nutrients (also known as ŌĆ£nutrient enrichmentŌĆØ) are widespread in the NationŌĆÖs streams. Sources of nutrients in streams include wastewater and industrial discharges, fertilizer and manure applications to agricultural land, runoff from urban areas, and atmospheric sources.
Biological alteration associated with elevated nutrient concentrations was most pronounced for algal communities. The occurrence of altered algal communities increased by as much as 40 percent above baseline in streams with elevated nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations.
Elevated levels of pesticides
Pesticides were detected in stream water in all land use settings. In streams with elevated pesticide toxicity, macroinvertebrate communities were altered by as much as 40 percent above baseline conditions. Although concentrations of insecticide mixtures, such as chlorpyrifos, carbaryl, and diazinon, in streams are highly variable seasonally and from year to year, they can reach levels that are harmful to aquatic life, particularly in agricultural and urban streams.
Looking deeper at streamflow modification┬Ā┬Ā
In a separate study, USGS scientists conducted a national assessment of streamflow modification, an extensive analysis of how land and water management practices modify natural river flows across the 48 states.
They found that urban land use and dams broadly affect river flow in most regions, while the effects of agriculture and wastewater discharge on river flow were more geographically limited. The effects of agriculture were most pronounced in the western Great Plains and western basins. Wastewater discharges were important in Atlantic coastal areas with large urban centers.
In general, dams decreased natural river flows whereas wastewater discharges increased flows. Agricultural land use tended to increase river flows in the Corn Belt, but decrease flows in the more arid parts of the United States, where substantial groundwater pumping and water diversions occur.
Most studies of how urban land use influences river flows have been conducted in highly urbanized watersheds. In this study, flows decreased with early stages of urban land development. In contrast, river flows increased with moderate to high levels of urban land use. These changes most likely were related to enhanced connectedness of impervious (paved or built) areas, increased groundwater recharge, household irrigation, and leaky water infrastructure.
Understanding how land and water management, such as dams, agriculture, and urban land use, are modifying the natural river flow is vital for effective water development, for water management, and for mitigating the negative impacts of flow modification on ecosystems.

The wisdom gained through being embodied is the core of dance/movement therapy and authentic movement. The practice of authentic movement has been my teacher for many years. The process begins with an intention to deeply listen and focus on the ongoing stream of felt bodily experience. As images, sensations and feelings arise, they are given attention, and then expressed through movement, gesture, postures. Deep listening opens up a wider range of understanding, creativity and expanded relationships to self and others.
Waiting and listening to the subtle language of the body develops the capacity to witness oneself, and eventually others. To witness means truly seeing the whole picture. It is having a two-fold awareness of what is arising — impulses, sensations, feelings and the one that is noticing. With this awareness, the relationship to the incoming content becomes clarified, within and without.
To give an example, my inner witness tracks a contracted sensation in my belly. Next, I find myself breathing into my belly, attempting to relax. Witnessing the effort to stop the tension, I see the color red and feel like moving my hands. Following the movement impulse, this expands into flailing. I recognize this action as anger with an impetus to create space. Hearing an inner voice, "You're always finding something to be angry about," I am aware of judging my aggressive energy and trying to dismiss it.
If I believe the judgment and adhere to it, I lose the opportunity to discover the meaning of this red energy whose action is to expand the space around myself. Anger is a contracted energy state that has not yet found its outward assertive action. It is a reaction to being in relationship, signaling a lack of boundaries.
The job of the witness is to be nonjudgmental, open to what is arising and, in this case, be curious about the feelings and sensations that the critical self tries to change. Recognizing the critic does not mean swallowing its message as the truth, or pretending to be unaffected, or ignoring it. Bringing awareness to whatever arises increases the possible outcomes and the potential for contactfulness with others.
The personality can be symbolized as a bowl of soup. Each person is born uncooked, with unique ingredients and acquired flavors. Over time with the help of a cook, the personality simmers into "the lovely vitality of a human being," as Rumi says in his poem below. Sometimes, it is spicy, when anger is present, or sweet with love. The way the cook stirs the soup or how much heat is applied, changes it. The cook is the witness, an inner aspect or outer friend that ensures a delicious meal.
"Chick Pea to Cook"
The chick pea leaps almost over the rim of the pot
where its being boiled.
"Why are you doing this to me?"
The cook knocks him down with his ladle and says:
"Don't you try to jump out. You think I'm torturing you;
I'm giving you flavor so you can mix with the spices and the rice
and be the lovely vitality of a human being ..."
Eventually the chick pea will say to the cook:
"Boil me some more, hit me with the skimming spoon.
I can't do this by myself."
The fire that the cook brings provides the necessary fuel to know oneself. As Pittman Mcgeahee says: "I alone must become myself; I cannot become myself alone."

Muy bien situado y muy limpio. Puede ser un poco ruidoso a la hora de la cena, pero no es un problema para dormir porque los restaurantes cierran temprano. Muy recomendable.
Die Lage war sehr gut, zahlreiche Cafés und Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nähe, mehrere U-Bahn-Stationen und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Das Zimmer war wie beschrieben sehr klein, aber sauber. Da andere Besucher zum Zeitpunkt der Reise anwesend waren, gab es morgens Schwierigkeiten das Bad zu benutzen. Die Gastgeber haben wir in den 2 Wochen leider nicht gesehen, Einlass wurde uns über einen Code gewährt. Wenn man nicht zu hohe Ansprüche an die Unterkunft hat und günstig wohnen möchte, ist man hier richtig.
The room was very nice and as described by John. All the appartment was clean and the other guests were very friendly.
It was a lovely stay in little Italy, close to almost everything and not even two minutes from chinatown (amazing place to find very good fruit and very good little restaurants).
If I come back in New-York I will probably contact the host again !
Thank you !
Nice, clean appartment in China Town. Nex time in New York I know where to stay.
First of all: Mike, the host, who also lives there is very nice and helpful.
The apartment is situated in the lower east side, only a 2 min. walk from a subway station, that takes you to Central Park in about 20min.
The only thing I have to say to people who think about staying here: If you are two persons travelling with luggage, make sure you get the big room!!! The smaller one is just way too small!!
Other than that, it's clean. Perfect for a short stay in New York. (In the bigger room)
Very clean apartment at a great location real close to Downtown Manhattan, We stayed in Room nr 2 for a week as family with 1 kid. During the week the other 3 rooms in apartment were almost all occupied, which makes it a bit busy for the shower. But due to the fact we had nice people around us, it was all fine.
Rooms are not that big but good enough. Couple of tips for John/Lucy: Mirrors in the rooms, makes it easier to clear the bathroom quicker. And the bathroom can use some new equipment, as the others are oxidated.
Excellent apartment, very clean, spacious, with two big beds. And the situation it is just superb, very close to the underground.
Perfect for people which are only for sleeping at the apartment. The room and bathroom is small but enouh. It is very close to the subway, clean and you can use the kitchen. For us it was the perfect accommodation!
The apartment is very accessible to midtown, Brooklyn and any place else in Manhattan. Is was clean and had enough room for 3 people. With bigger luggage the stairs might be a challenge but it's manageable. All in all I would recommend staying there and I would stay there again!
Lovely place and close to everything. Not very sound isolated in the hallway but we weren't disturbed. I would definitely stay here again.

I hear the term 'flex' all the time, but I'm somewhat confused as to what it means.
Like in this description of the Discmania Rush:
'The main difference between the Roadrunner and Rush is that you do not need to flex this disc in order to make use of the big glide that it offers.'
Is there a different technique when throwing flex shots?

I've been talking over at the Showtime forums (a media player that runs on jailbroken PS3s) and there is a pretty annoying delay from when PMS is detected in Showtime player.
If Showtime Media Player is open while restarting PMS, then it is detected immediately, but if I have PMS running and then open Showtime Media Player, it takes around a minute to be detected, where as other media servers, such as the Windows Media Server is detected at a much faster rate.
I've searched around but haven't really found any information or possible solutions for this specific issue.
I don't know much about Media Server communication, but is there a way I can increase the "broadcast frequency" so PMS alerts that it is available at a more frequent rate?

Hello there,
I am currenttly using the community version on Ubuntu linux for evaluation and I have a few questions:
My printer does not appear in the list [HP laserjet 1100]. I haven t encountered this problem with other applications. Is there something I need to do before being able to print?
Another question is about the layers. How can I see on what layer an object/line is stored. I think there is something I haven t found, but this is pretty essential.
Last one is about saving layer settings. It doesn t seem possible to save the settings of your layers. I used to work with almost hundred layers and for different drawings I need to switch of quite a lot of them. Is there a way to save these settings so you can later on return to other layer configurations?
Thanks in advance for looking to my quetions

Central as it gets. Vienna is you virtually to the feet. Perfect starting point but also by subway. Fresh bread for breakfast, no problem: supermarket just across the road, cash in the house. Spacious and well furnished apartment. Unfortunately, the functionality suffers a little under the Syling, but that is of no consequence. Again at any time.
Zentraler geht´s nicht. Wien liegt Dir praktisch zu den Füssen. Perfekter Ausgangspunkt aber auch per U-Bahn. Frische Semmel zum Frühstück kein Problem: Supermarkt gleich über die Straße, Bankomat im Haus. Geräumige und gut eingerichtete Wohnung. Leider leidet die Funktionalität ein wenig unter dem Syling, aber das fällt nicht ins Gewicht. Jederzeit wieder.
All Top - super friendly - happy again.
Would we immediately Recommend !!
Alles Top - super freundlich - gerne wieder.
Würden wir sofort weiterempfehlen!!
Everything good in everything. A beautiful apartment in one of the most beautiful districts of Paris (Sacre-Coeur), but still not very touristy. It was all in the area for the most necessary yet (supermarket, bakery, etc.). One or the other should be repaired in the home but, for example, the installations in the bathroom. The electrical system also is pretty ramshackle. In the children's bunk bed should be replaced also times, as it is very wobbly.
Alles in allem gut. Eine schöne Wohnung in einem der schönsten Stadtviertel in Paris (Sacre-Coeur), aber trotzdem nicht sehr touristisch. Es war alles in der Umgebung für das notwendigste vorhanden (Supermarkt, Bäckerei etc.). Das eine oder andere sollte in der Wohnung aber repariert werden, z.B. die Installationen im Bad. Auch die Elektrik ist ziemlich marode. Im Kinderzimmer sollte auch mal das Stockbett ausgetauscht werden, da es sehr wackelig ist.
We stayed for 2 weeks at Plaza Suites in October 2013. We were well pleased with both the apartment, location and service.
Vi boede 2 uger på Plaza Suites i oktober 2013. Vi var fint tilfreds med både lejlighed, beliggenhed og service.
Biarritz is really beautiful, this apartment is definitley not.
The first thing I noticed after the booking was the ~20€ cleaning fee per person (!!) you have to pay, which was not mentioned before I confirmed the booking. We were 6 persons, all in all we had to pay 114€ for cleaning.
Upon our arrival, there were dirt stains all over the walls in 2 bedrooms, mold in the bathroom and one of the two single beds was broken (the mattress would crack down to the floor). Seeing the huge cleaning bill we had to pay, we contacted the office that rented the apartment and showed them pictures of the shortcomings. They didn't react very nicely. At first they proposed to us to send a cleaning lady over to clean walls and bathroom, but with us only staying for 2 days and having plans, this was not an option. Then, they proposed to give us an extra bed which we would have had to transport with our car (!) to the apartment. After heavy protest, they finally agreed to pay us back the money we had to pay in front for cleaning.
Towels and bed linen weren't included either, per person we would have had to pay extra to get some from the office. Fortunatley we had sleeping bags and towels ourselves.
The upsides of our stay were that the apartment is located close to the city center and shops are around the corner, and that Biarritz is a very beautiful town. Also, apart from everything else, the living room is quite nice.
All in all I would not recommend a stay in this apartment, even though the price (at first) sounds reasonable for an expensive town like Biarritz.
It was a great week in Podstrana.
The cottage is well equipped and offers a beautiful view of the sea and Split.
We can all thank the hosts for all us just once!
As a tip for those interested in this apartment;
A car would be advisable since the rise of the "old Podstrana village" in which the house stands, has it all.
But we got along very well without. There is a bus (unfortunately at random times) and also the hospitality of neighbors is enormous.
We can only recommend this Domiziel!
We will come back!
Es war eine tolle Woche in Podstrana.
Das Ferienhaus ist super ausgestattet und bietet einen wunderschönen Blick aufs Meer und Split.
Wir können uns nur nochmals ganz herzlich bei den Gastgebern für alles bedanken!!!
Als Tipp für Interessenten an dieser Ferienwohnung;
Ein Auto wäre ratsam, da der Aufstieg zum "alten Podstrana Dorf", in dem das Ferienhaus steht, es in sich hat.
Doch auch ohne kamen wir super zurecht. Es fährt ein Bus (leider zu unregelmäßigen Zeiten) und auch die Gastfreundschaft von Nachbarn ist enorm.
Wir können dieses Domiziel nur weiterempfehlen!
Wir kommen gerne wieder!
Very clean and well maintained
Sehr sauber und gepflegt
The apartment is absolutely recommendable! We really liked the apartment, the location is very good, very close to shopping, sea and relaxation. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated and ask everything you need to live. Negative point: a bed in the bedroom was kaput and needs repair: (asks a beautiful large terrace overlooking the sea and the opportunity to enjoy eating outdoors Easy recommended sad news..!
Das Apartment ist absolut empfehlenswert! Die Wohnung hat uns sehr gefallen, die Lage ist sehr gut, sehr nah zu Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Meer und Erholung. Die Wohnung selbst ist sehr schön eingerichtet und bittet alles was man zum Wohnen braucht. Negativer Punkt: ein Bett in Schlafzimmer war kaput und benötigt Reparatur :( Große Terasse bittet einen schönen Blick auf Meer und die Möglichkeit draußen Essen zu genießen. Einfach empfehlenswert. Sehr gerne wieder!
They welcomed us with great cordiality and remaining available without creating intrusiveness. The description of the apartment corresponded to what we found. Spacious, bright and practical because near the sea.
Ci hanno accolto con grande cordialità e rimanendo a disposizione senza creare invadenza. La descrizione dell'appartamento corrispondeva a quanto abbiamo trovato. Appartamento spazioso, luminoso e pratico perché vicino al mare.
Great place, very warm and sunny days. Apartment was good value for your money. Nice and clean.

Montevideo businessman Scott Van Binsbergen announced Tuesday that he is considering running for the Republican party nomination for the United States Seventh District Congressional seat currently held by DFL-er Collin Peterson.
Van Binsbergen is a lifelong resident of the Seventh District. He and his wife of 17 years, Clarissa, have three children. He started his own company in 1996, which now employs about 120 people across the district.
Van Binsbergen said he believes this is an opportunity to have a conversation with the people in the 38 counties of the Seventh District. A decision on whether or not he will run for Congress will be made shortly, he said. "My wife and I will make the decision together, sometime around the first of the year."

I wrote a new article to Nokia Developer Wiki. In this article, I will show how you can create a streaming MP3 music player in Windows Phone 7. All the music files are stored in the server and are streamed to Windows Phone. Application first loads all the albums data from the server with JSON data. In server side, there are PHP script which loads ID3 tags from all the MP3 files and generates JSON string, which is returned to Windows Phone.
Latest, Favorite and Album songs are displayed in Panorama Page. User can play music in Player Page. This application uses Windows Phone Background Audio Agent to play MP3 music, so the music can be play in background like the original music player does in Windows Phone.
You can read whole article and download source code here: Streaming MP3 Player in WP7.

This show was part of the "1994 NYE Run."
I had been listening to Phish for about 3 years, but never got to a show before this one.
It was incredable seeing these guys live and still cant get enough of them. Great set list....
Typical high power Weekapaug jam->Suzy Greenberg-esque style of jam->creepy noodly jam->vocal jamming->machine-gun hose->circusy video-game type jam->monstrous Little Drummer boy jam->return to Weekapaug.
They hit so much in this jam, it's crazy. The only down point is really the weird spacey jam between the vocal jamming and the Litte Drummer Boy jam. Listen to this immediately. Now. What are you waiting for?
This was a pivotal year for the band, and in particular this was the end of a year that would see them go from being a small theatre band to a mega act - the days of seeing them in small clubs were over, or soon to be over. By this show, $5 covers had become a thing of the past. The band had graduated from 23 East to the Mann, to The Civic Center & Spectrum in just 2 year span. They were getting big, you could feel it in the air and this show has a "big room" sound, kinda "echoey" if you will. But the acoustics are good, listen to Page bounce the keys off those old walls - beautiful. First we get a strong Mound, before Mounds became rare. And it's time time time.
Simple was still a relatively new song back then, and you can tell the band was having tons of fun with it - they jammed it hard, very early in the show. Julius rocked, so hard, w/ a Buried tease as indicated in the notes. Gin was nice, bouncy & got a little trippy, album version Bouncing, Axilla II (hello! what a rarity!) in one of its last appearances to date, Reba version has an extended nice jam with Trey, Fish and Page going at it pretty heavy. DFB was a needed cool down after that hot Reba, and one of my faves, It's Ice, came out hot as usual and has a spooky ending to the jam out w/ a nice page solo at the end, very different than I've ever heard, and while it's not a staying power jam it certainly breaks this song up from it's more traditional versions. Antelope closes it out, a particularly quiet start followed by a particularly strong intro to the "fast" portion of the song (clearly a miss in my initial review). It's a strong Antelope, but most of them are - not the best ever, I don't think, but a very good one. It stops on a dime for Rye Rye Rocco, so perfectly. 4 "new" songs in the 1st set, all '94 debuts and all sounding great.
We open set 2 w/ that little Suzy Greenberg, nothing overly special about this version except the ending is drawn out more so than typical versions. NICU, felt like a new song but had already spent 2 years in rotation by this show - I remember it being a post show highlight, but really it's a pretty standard version. nothing special (other than it being a '94 version, anything from '94 is going to be special on that year alone). Mike's is nice, some nice early interplay from Trey and the jam gets a little dark w/ a cool build up going into Mango. A nice soft version of Mango becomes upbeat and upon completion, a Christmas present wrapped in a Weekapaugh Groove. A nice, long jammed version complete w/ a vocal jam, some clownish spookiness, I fondly and distinctly remember Trey shredding the Little Drummer Boy, it translates onto the recording as well as I remember it being so special - more than a tease, it's a full on 1+ minute shred that actually gets a little evil at a point before jumping back into the Groove. Like many hot shredders, they are followed by a cool down song - enter Contact (yes we will). Back to the shredding, a 2nd set Llama is hot but not anything over the top. Fish hates HYHU, and so do I as I think it broke the momentum of a hot show... maybe they just needed a breather. Apparently I am not the only one, you can hear someone in the crowd say "not Purple Rain, jesus"... haha, many calls for Cracklin' Rosie but Fish delivers Honey Love You well, after a bit of indecision. He also introduces the band, including trey "Dr Seuss" on the drums. Closing it out is Coil, with a long & beautiful Page solo that lasts several minutes. Bold as Love encore was a treat, but not anything overly special about this version.
In all, pretty much anything from the early 90's is going to be special - but pretty much everything this band does is special. I have grown to appreciate them as a mega act, as much I enjoyed them as a smaller venue band. This show, to me, reflects the jumping off point for Phish as a mega act, and having attended was a privilege.
Great version of It's Ice here too, very tight. Straight into a sexy Antelope. Good closer.
Second set speaks for itself. Mike's > Mango Song > Weekapaug? Yes please. Llama is always fun, and I'm always happy when a Coil closes the set. Bold as Love is pretty epic.
5/5, straight up
Onto the show... highlights for me included Simple, Gin, Axilla, Ice (always!) and although I LOVE to Run Like an Antelope, I don't recall anything special about it. 2nd setters Mike's was good, yes the Drummer Boy was way cool near Christmas, Contact was neat-O too. I was dead ass sober at this show, for what it's worth, and honestly the show itself really doesn't stick out as being anything special - although I distinvtly remember during the show I had this erie feeling like I wouldn't see Phish again for a very long time... not sure where it came from, the scene or maybe just turbulence in my life at the time, anyway I was right, it was 15 years before I got back on the train. WTF was I thinking?
I had primarily been going to hardcore shows back then, so I wasn't surprised when someone jumped on stage, ran around and then stage dove -- I learned very quickly that this was not acceptable behavior at a Phish show, as the first three rows around me parted like the red seat and that poor bastard dropped like a stone into the folding chairs. Pretty hilarious.
My friend Kate asked if there was a song I wanted to hear. I really had only heard Hoist at that point and saw some of those songs at the Mann, so I said Axilla Pt. II. She kinda laughed and said "They never play that," in a manner indicating that she wasn't too big on that song.
I've not been anywhere near that close since.
First set features a decent Reba and a real deal rager of an Antelope. Set II opens with Page really pounding the keys for Suzie. NICU follows and I love listened to my AUD tape for the joyful crowd reaction. The Mike's that follows has a jam that has the feel of organized chaos. The few seconds between the end of Mike's into Mango is one of my favorite transitions the band has played. Page does a good job with Mango. The Weekapaug that follows is my all time favorite 'Paug. This type of improv was the appetizer to next night's Bowie. There are many different entertaining parts to this jam. Reviewing the individual parts of the jam is not necessary. Listen to it and hopefully like what you hear. The Contact/Llama/Coil that follow are just gravy.
I got this show from a guy who claimed to have been there, 20 rows back tripping. Intense show for that.
I was nearly 18, my sister was a senior at nearby University of Delaware and my cousin a freshmen at Penn. I had been listening to some studio stuff via my cousin but man I was green.
My main memory of the scene was pre-show outside by the fountains or something. A high-school friend of my sisters who had made the full on wook transformation was french-kissing her dog. That left a mark for sure.
As far as the show goes, it's hard to remember what it was like at the time. The only crystallized moment I have, which is so clear to me today, was the Little Drummer Boy jam in Weekapaug. The familiar sound of a Holiday song amidst the insanity of that jam was an anchor for me. I could feel the collective swell of recognition was the whole crowd caught on.
Looking (and listening) back, the Simple in the first set has one of my favorite super short type I jams. And that Mike's Groove! What an introduction to the band.
