Range DescriptionNumenius madagascariensis breeds in eastern Russia, from the upper reaches of the Nizhnyaya Tunguska river east though the Verkhoyarsk mountains to Kamchatka, and south to Primorye and north-eastern Mongolia (del Hoyo et al. 1996). The Yellow Sea of North Korea, South Korea and China is a particularly important stopover site on migration. It has been recorded as a passage migrant in Japan, Brunei, Bangladesh, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore, with most birds wintering in Australia, but also in China, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and New Zealand (del Hoyo et al. 1996). The global population has recently been estimated at 38,000 individuals (Wetlands International 2006), including 28,000 in Australia (Bamford et al. 2008). The global population is declining, as indicated by reduced numbers at stopover points in South Korea and Japan, and a significant decline in the number of non-breeding individuals wintering in north-west Australia and south-eastern Australia (Amano 2006, Gosbell and Clemens 2006, Moores et al. in litt. 2008, D. Rogers et al. in litt. 2009, Wilson et al. 2011).

Measure for Measure
by William Shakespeare
Measure for Measure Theme of Marriage
As we know, all Shakespearean comedies work their way toward endings that culminate in one or more marriages. This is also true of Measure for Measure, but, in this play, marriage doesn't necessarily bring about a happily ever after. For many characters, marriage is a form of punishment (literally and figuratively). For others, it's a fate worse than torture or death, making Measure one of the most cynical plays about the nature of marriage.
Questions About Marriage
- Why did Angelo break off his engagement with Mariana?
- Discuss the implications of Lucio's attitude toward being forced to marry a prostitute.
- Why do you think Isabella is silent when the Duke proposes to her?
- What does Claudio mean when he says that Juliet is "fast [his] wife" (1.2)?
Chew on This
Lucio believes that marrying a prostitute is a fate worse than torture because being hitched to a promiscuous woman will compromise his masculinity.
Isabella's silence (after the Duke's marriage proposal) forces the audience to wonder whether or not marriage is the means to a happy ending.

|Disentangling the effects of polymer coatings on silver nanoparticle agglomeration, dissolution, and toxicity to determine mechanisms of nanotoxicity
|September 01, 2012
|Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are frequently coated by a variety of polymers, which may affect various intertwined mechanisms of toxicity, including agglomeration and dissolution rate. Here, we measure how citrate, dextran, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), dextran, and poly(vinyl pyrillodone) (PVP) coatings affect AgNP agglomeration, dissolution, and toxicity. In addition, to disentangle the coatings‰ effects on agglomeration from their other effects, we produce multiple stable agglomerate sizes of several of the coated AgNPs using a recently described method. These dispersions allow us to independently study the effects of agglomeration and polymer coating on dissolution rate and hemolytic toxicity. We find that both hemolytic toxicity and dissolution rate are highest for thin PEG coatings, and toxicity and dissolution rate decrease with increasing agglomerate size independent of coating. This correlation between toxicity and dissolution rate suggests that both polymer coating and agglomeration may affect hemolytic toxicity largely through their effects on dissolution. Since both the AgNP dissolution rate and hemolysis decrease only moderately with large increases in agglomerate size, AgNPs‰ hemolytic toxicity may be caused by their large surface area and consequently high dissolution rate, rather than from other size-specific effects. At the silver concentrations used in this work, silver dissolved from AgNPs is expected to primarily be in the form of AgCl NPs, which are therefore likely to be the primary drivers of hemolytic toxicity. In addition, all AgNPs we tested are much more toxic to horse red blood cells than sheep red blood cells, highlighting the complexity of toxic responses.

In October 1991, inspired by the conservation efforts of Ducks Unlimited Canada and recognizing the need for wetlands conservation in Australia, a group of concerned citizens formed Ducks Unlimited Australia. The name was changed to Wetland Care Australia in 1996 but the mission remained the same: to restore, create, conserve, and manage Australia's wetland habitats and dependent species.
To assist with achieving these goals, Wetland Care Australia partners with government agencies, corporations, and private landowners. In addition, Wetland Care Australia promotes and conducts research on wetland-related topics.
Completed Projects:
Wetland Care Australia is a community-based, not-for-profit organization, headed by 16 voluntary board members. They publish a quarterly newsletter for members, Wetlands Alive, which reports on the conservation activities of Wetland Care Australia and related wetland issues.

Just because a movie was a hit before even video cassettes became a standard on the home entertainment market doesnt mean it shouldnt find its way into the latest in 21st century digital delivery systems. With that in mind, VCX, Home if the Classics, has launched an aggressive campaign to do just that.
After nearly 5 years of delivery via Internet Video On Demand and fresh on the heels of a successful debut of VCXCash.com, the companys affiliate driven sales tool, VCX is poised to emerge as one of the industrys leaders in new media delivery. After all, why shouldnt a company like VCX, known for producing some of the most groundbreaking films in the history of adult cinema, titles such as Debbie does Dallas and Devil in Miss Jones also be among the forerunners in content delivery? Simply put, it only makes sense.
Among these new methods of distribution directly to consumers is a new Download to Own product through established new media innovator DivX. This service is compatible with both Windows and Mac systems and allows for a certain instant gratification for customers who wish to own but arent interesting in visiting brick and mortar retailers. Even better is that these DivX files, available through Vcx.com, can also be burned to DVD and is compatible with many consumer DVD players as DivX has recently announced the shipment of over 100 million DivX compatible units.
Coming down the pike is an exciting advancement in streaming video technology from Evotum. The Evotum technology offers instant playback of very high quality, full-screen video with no media player installation required. This service will be available through a new VCX branded site, VCXLive.com.
Upcoming from VCX is also a new IPTV solution from Fyre TV. This delivery system uses a subscriber set-top box similar to other cable and satellite systems, but is linked to the content via a DSL connection. It provides a true on demand product directly to the consumers home entertainment system. Testing is set to begin in the coming month. The video quality can only be described as "breathtaking.
For more information on VCX products, please feel free to direct your web browsers to www.VCXCash.com or send E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
VCXLive.com will go live on Friday, August 24, 2007. Check out the demo trailer and prepared to be blown away!

Landfill Methane Outreach Program
Note: EPA no longer updates this information, but it may be useful as a reference or resource.
Project Profile
Fred Weber-Pattonville High School Landfill Gas Recovery Project
- Location:
- Maryland Heights, Missouri
- End User(s):
- Pattonville High School, Fred Weber, Inc., Schmital Greenhouses
- Sector(s):
- School, Cement, Asphalt, Greenhouse
- Landfill(s):
- Fred Weber Sanitary Landfill
- Landfill Size:
- 25 million tons waste-in-place (2008)
- Project Type:
- Boiler and Direct Thermal (oil burner, rotary dryers, infrared heater, forced air furnaces)
- Project Size:
- 900 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm)
- Savings:
- $27,000 annually for Pattonville High School
- Environmental Benefits:
- Carbon sequestered annually by 22,700 acres of pine or fir forests, annual greenhouse gas emissions from 20,400 passenger vehicles, or carbon dioxide emissions from 247,700 barrels of oil consumed. Annual energy savings equate to heating 3,100 homes. Estimated emissions reductions of 0.0291 million metric tons of carbon equivalents.
- Last Updated:
- 7/15/2010
Fred Weber, Inc., a large construction company near St. Louis, Missouri, operates and manages several quarries, an asphalt plant, and a landfill. Since 1992, the Fred Weber Sanitary Landfill has collected the landfill gas (LFG) from the landfill and used it for its asphalt plant burner and concrete ready mix plant boiler. The remainder of the gas was flared.
Pattonville High School is located less than a mile from the landfill, and the school's ecology club took the initiative to suggest that the school board look into using the LFG as an alternative fuel for its boilers. After feasibility studies and an economic analysis, the school board determined that the projected cost savings were worthwhile. In 1997, Fred Weber partnered with Pattonville High School to develop an LFG energy project.
The project's highlights include:
- Generates awareness of and demand for renewable energy.
- Prevents greenhouse gas emissions.
- Promotes public-private cooperation.
- Provides significant fuel cost savings.
The school received a $150,000 loan from Missouri Department of Natural Resources and a $25,000 grant from the St. Louis County Solid Waste Commission. Fred Weber invested an additional $220,000 for the pipeline construction, for a total cost of $395,000.
The recovered LFG fuels the school's boilers, saving the school about $27,000 annually, depending on the market value of natural gas. At this rate the school has been able to recover its cost. However, since Fred Weber gives the LFG to the school district for free, Fred Weber's investment will not be recovered, at least not financially.

A further challenge lies in gathering resources to sustain the Sisters and the order. The 138 members who work in ministries that pay some salary contribute to a common fund that helps support the congregation. During all the decades when the Sisters taught in Catholic parish schools, the Church never paid into the Social Security fund. In 1972, the U.S. government offered religious orders the chance to contribute to the fund for their members, but the congregations had to come up with the money themselves. Most, like the Sisters of Providence, sold property to get the million-plus dollars needed to purchase retroactive membership for the Sisters. But present-day Social Security payments to retired members are only around $100 per month. Where does the other money to support the Sisters, maintain the property, and fund the order's missions come from?
"From our friends," said Sister Denise Wilkinson, General Superior, whose roots are in County Wicklow. "The nuns have to be self-sustaining." "Doesn't the Church . . . ?" I asked. No, the Church doesn't. Although the Sisters get a small share of an annual collection taken up in churches for Retired Religious, they raise the bulk of their large operating expenses themselves. It means "Cutting, cutting, and begging," Sister Denise said, "and lots of faith in Providence." Somehow they find ways to fund their missions
Despite the obstacles, the nuns remain as dedicated as ever to their charitable works. In the communities near the Motherhouse alone, the Sisters have set up a free clinic that for twenty-five years has served the uninsured. They run the "House on Route 115," where 170 children receive after school tutoring. At the ecumenical Providence Food Pantry, retired Sisters serve clients with incredible respect, Sister Denise said. "The Sisters understand it's hard to have to come and ask for free food."
The Sisters of Providence work in nineteen states and Taiwan in ministries ranging from Providence in the Desert, where two nuns teach English in migrant camps, through the more traditional service as teachers and parish ministers. But with so many Catholic schools closing, many teachers have lost their jobs. According to Sister Denise, "We have two Sisters who were principals of schools that closed. When they applied to other Catholic schools, they were told they were overqualified. They took jobs in public schools."
"Our Sisters are inventive, though," Sister Denise said, and she told the story of Miracle Place, a house Sister Rita and Sister Barbara founded in an African-American community in Indianapolis as a service center for seniors and students. The congregation gave them a grant to begin their work, and somehow they have managed to continue to find funds. Sister Denise said, "I asked one man I met at their annual fund-raiser how he got involved," she remembers. "'Against my will,' he answered. 'You try to say no to Sister Rita.'" Miracle Place recently expanded its ministry and began gathering crews to rehab abandoned houses. To date they'd rescued five houses to provide homes for the homeless. Both women are well past middle age.
With so few parish schools to provide religious instruction, many Sisters have become directors of religious education at parishes, teaching and training teachers in CCD programs and instituting family spirituality programs. And retirement doesn't mean an end to service. Sister Martha Wessel directs the center where retired Sisters live and helps design their apostolate. "One Sister came home from Chicago yesterday," she told me. "She'll spend one morning a week at the maximum security federal prison in Terre Haute. There is no chaplain, so nuns now conduct prayer services there. Seven of our Sisters are 'ministers of record' for death-row inmates," Sister Martha told me. The retired Sister has also "decided to work at the Food Pantry, visit those in Health Care, tutor, work at the day care center, and spend one hour a day praying at the Blessed Sacrament Chapel."
"And how old is she?" I asked. "Eighty-three."
These are the women the Vatican is investigating. Nancy Reynolds, SP, a member of the leadership team, treasurer of the congregation, and a canon lawyer, pointed out to me that "never before in the history of the Church has an Apostolic Visitation been undertaken that hasn't been the result of an abuse." It is hard to see what the abuse might be in this case, as the Sisters gracefully fight to remain active and effective in today's society.
The immediate cause of the Apostolic Visitation seems to have been a symposium on religious life that was held at Stonehill College in Easton, Massachusetts, during September 2008. Many of the speakers were critical of religious life in the United States. Ann Carey, a lay journalist who writes in Our Sunday Visitor, complained about mission statements on congregations' Web sites that state that religious communities in the future may be more inclusive, welcoming associates who may be married. When I read her speech, I thought of the young man I met who was serving a year as a Providence Volunteer, helping at the White Violet Center on campus, an organic farm and eco-justice center. In what way was he threatening? And what about the young woman I'd met who spent a year living with the Sisters, working in their ministries to "deepen my spirituality." I'd told Sister Denise she'd make a great nun. "Except she's Jewish," Denise replied. But to contribute her talents for a year? Why not?

Good Time Away from it All
September 4, 2013
We had a great time at Life is Good. Our large family of 11+ babies had enough room to feel comfortable. The house is about a 15min. drive away from downtown Galveston, which we actually enjoyed. It was a quiet neighborhood. Fishing was a short minute's drive away with a private fishing dock and the ocean was across the street (pretty much). You do have to cross a somewhat busy road to get to beach, but it is completely do-able. My husband and I did it everyday with a 5yr old and carrying a 10month old. The house is very accommodating, but I would suggest bringing extra plates, like paper plates perhaps. And maybe some extra bowls. There weren't very many there of those items. The owner is a joy to work with; very helpful, resourceful, and understanding of particular situations. Also, the house and kitchen were stocked with more than what we even anticipated. Great time!!!

Fabulous house!
August 28, 2013
We loved this house. It is super cute and very close to the beach. We walked on the street and crossed at the light to get over, and it maybe took 3-4 minutes. (You could also cut through some grassy areas to shorten the time.) The house is very spacious, and even though the living room is a little small, the open kitchen with bar stools and kitchen table is right there opening up into one big room. The owners are great to work with too. I highly recommend this house!

A great place to stay
July 18, 2013
I recently stayed at this property with my husband, two kids and my parents (6 total). We had more than enough room and were able to not only enjoy the house, but the beach and other area attractions. It is a great location, quiet and each to access all parts of Galveston. A great place to stay, I would stay there again if we go back to that area.

Awesome Beach House!!!
July 15, 2013
Our family stayed at this house for a week and had a wonderful time! The house has everything you need to make your vacation comfortable and relaxing. The community has a swimming pool and a fishing pier that the kids really enjoyed. The beach access is very close, and it was not overcrowded during our stay. The owner and property manager were great to work with as well. We'll definitely be coming back again!

House is clean. Owner is very attentive. The beach is close and within walking distant to the beach...but you have to cross a busy road.

Nice Getaway!
August 21, 2012
We had a great time at this house! There were 8 of us total and we had plenty of room! The only con was ants... after the first night we realized there were ants in the living room, kitchen bar, and the bunk bed room. We sprayed Raid and washed sheets and they weren't as bad. Besides that we had a great time!!

Great vacation home
August 16, 2012
This house is located just across the street from the beach and only a few blocks from the canal. Great neighborhood, really enjoyed riding around on the "rented" golf cart. Very family friendly.

So Much Fun So Little Time!
August 13, 2012
Our stay at the beach was awesome, we were close enough to enjoy the beach each morning and then drive into town for some great restaurants and scenery. Only downfall, wish we had more time to stay! Enjoyed it and plan to come again next summer! Owner is so very nice and easy to work with. Stay here for a great getaway!
Owner's reply:
We thank you so much for your repeat rental this summer and hope you return again next summer! If you get a chance, come back during the off season as it's a wonderful and peaceful time at the beach, and it's not so hot!
P.S. There is NEVER enough time at the beach once that ocean water gets into your soul! :)
God's best.

Can't wait to do it again!
July 19, 2012
Our family of 10 rented this home last week 7/6-7/13 and it was awesome. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed and then some. Compared to where we stayed last year...SPEECHLESS! The weather was not so great but due to the layout of the house and the space we had it did not ruin our vacation and time together one bit. Because we had an infant we had to bring a pack and play and there was plenty of space in the bedrooms to set it up and it be out of the way. The deck and sitting area below was enjoyable with the wooden swing and BBQ pits. The shower to rinse off in was not only good for getting the sand off us but allowed us to shower the 4yr old & 3 yr old together. They thought that was cool! Everyone in the neighborhood that we crossed paths with was very nice and the kids enjoyed the "movie under the stars" at the marina in the neighborhood. Something else they thought was "cool" Thank you to Jada for making the process easy and to anyone else on your staff that helped get the house ready for us. We will definetly be repeat renters and can't wait to return. Kind Regards, Jenny

Great 4th of July

This was a last minute vacation. The house had everything we needed. We really liked the pier to the bay and the bait shop in the neighborhood and across the street was the beach.

Family fun
May 11, 2012
This house is perfect for families and folks of all ages. We take our kids and grandkids every year. It has everything that we need to keep everybody happy and comfortable. A large kitchen and counter area that has plenty of room for 3 or 4 people to work in it. Also, a good sized eating area. We love the downstairs shower for rinsing off our little beach bums. We just walk to the beach. My favorite is to sit on the deck and listen to the waves. It is so peaceful. I love this house and have recommended it to friends. It is a grade above most beach house rentals. I don't think that you can find anything nicer.

House okay - small for 11.
April 5, 2010
House was nice, clean and functional. It was smaller than expected, about 1000 - 1200 sq ft, definitely too small for 6 adults and 4 kids, especially when we were all cooped up in the house due to weather. Air in the house was difficult to regulate, cold and hot air pockets throughout the house. We couldn't get comfortable! Temperature wouldn't go lower than 75F. It was quite cold when we were there so it wasn't a big problem, but I wouldn't want to rent it in summer! House was closed to street, which made the distance to the beach shorter, thus walkable. Usually, I do not care about other amenities in the house such as TVs but again, we were cooped up because of the cold front. Small, old TVs, nothing like the flat screens I'm used to. :-) House could use some more (decent) pots and pans & utentils, but I'm just picky on kitchen stuffs. I was asked to wash all the linens before departure, which was a chore to me. I don't want to "work" when I'm on vacation, but that might be just me! :) Overall, I don't think I would rent this house again.

Beautiful House
September 23, 2009
The house was beautiful. We had a wonderful family get away here. It felt like a home away from home. The kitchen is very large which is fabulous because thats where everyone always gravitates towards. The rooms are very spacious and offer plenty of room for a large group like ours was. I've stayed at many beach houses and overall this has been my favorite. I would definately stay here again and recommend it to others.

Exceptional Accommodations
August 20, 2009
Our family (10 of us) spent the weekend in Galveston and were fortunate enough to find this wonderful beach house. We were all extremely pleased with the accommodations! There was plenty of room for all us and we all had a bed to sleep in. The house was exceptionally clean, and the decor was fresh. We visit Galveston frequently, and will definitely be renting this house again.

Love the music clips (and the wonders of youtube). Here's another of my favorites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=butg4krAZyo
For some reason, watching Gould listening to his own recording take during the last several minutes is very compelling to me.

Daredevil's Charlie Cox Explains How Tiny Details Tie Marvel's Netflix Shows Together
Marvel's Netflix shows are gritty, prone to ugly violence, and you're more than likely to encounter a nurse named Claire Temple.

Are you really getting the best possible look at Stranger Things (or whatever other show you're currently bingeing)? Here's what you need to know.
Oh Barb with your coke-bottle glasses, your mum jeans, and your perfect eye rolls.
Kim's going to be all over it.
The service will run through a box called a Manbang, and will air programmes that reinforce moral lessons and faith in the government.
Black Mirror is the kind of show you want to watch knowing almost nothing about. The first images from the third season are perfect in that regard.
Ever wonder how that latest season of Orange Is The New Black actually made its way across the planet from Netflix's little home in Los Gatos, California to your big-screen TV?
We've got headband, people. This is not a drill.
Will Netflix stick to its rigid two-Marvel-shows-a-season game-plan?
If you loved Stranger Things, then these movies, books, shows and games are for you.
We've heard about the tantalising casting for a while, but now we know when we'll finally be able to watch it.

The Netflix sci-fi hit will continue its current storyline, should it return for a second season.
Amazon Prime has a growing selection of exclusive rights to US shows and a wide TV program portfolio beyond its own original content. Netflix may soon find that they have to run ever faster to stay ahead – or even just to stay neck-and-neck with Amazon Prime.

'Copper,' Season 1, Episode 5, 'La Tempete': TV Recap
The Civil War will rage on for about six more months in the "Copper" time, and this week the characters raise money to support the troops.
That means that it's time for a proper ball gown that would make Scarlett O'Hara pea-green with envy. Elizabeth, she of the beautiful dresses, lives up to her reputation this week in a frothy white lace gown that was made for romance.
Elizabeth plans a gala to raise money for black troops fighting for the Union. She persuades Morehouse's father to co-host the event with her.
Corcoran's fellow officer, Andrew O'Brian, has a no-good brother-in-law who is found with the plans to the Morehouse house on him. He admits that there is a plot to rob the gala. Corcoran tries to convince Elizabeth to cancel the event. Instead, she goes to Captain Sullivan and bribes him with an invitation to the party in return for free security. To be headed, of course, by Corky.
The party begins and everyone is on deck. Elizabeth and Corcoran flirt above stairs while Frank and Andrew camp out in the kitchen. Even Eva buys her way into the party, as she gives Elizabeth dirty looks and uses her talents to procure a bank loan.
Annie continues her creepy acting-out by hitting on Corcoran and Morehouse during the gala. She tries to blackmail Morehouse, telling him he was with her when she was working at the French brothel, but he was too drunk to remember. She also tells him she saw Elizabeth meeting with a Confederate soldier.
Morehouse confronts Elizabeth about this casually as they dance. She explains that her Southern visitor wanted her to raise money to help those in the South affected by the war. He teases her about switching sides, but she tells him women don't chose sides in war.
At the end of the evening, Corcoran, Frank and Andrew go to transport the money raised at the gala to the bank. They are robbed along the way. When the robbers open the box, though, it's empty. Later Corky runs into Morehouse, who is transporting the money to the bank in his leg.
In other plot lines, Frank and Mary, the sister of the dead abortionist, walk through the Central Park Sheep Meadow (complete with wooly residents). She asks him to tour Europe with her. She reminds him Molly is dead and he kisses her. Wow. Frank tells Andrew and Corky he's engaged to Mary. Corcoran tells him maybe he should be cautious since he's still in mourning. Frank doesn't take too kindly to the advice.
Also, Corcoran admits to Morehouse he saw the ghost of his little girl the first time he took morphine, but that he hasn't seen her since. He's still limping and using a cane, and even had trouble dancing.
Meanwhile, Marcus begins training Jasper to be a boxer. Sarah doesn't like the violence, but Matthew tells her the training is good for both of them. Morehouse plans to sponsor Jasper in a fight against an Irish boxer, but Corky worries about the potential racial fallout of such a fight.
Marcus also tries to attack Sarah. She scratches him and hides in the bedroom with a pistol. Jasper comes in and fights Marcus using the moves he taught him. Dr. Freeman returns home to find the house destroyed. Marcus tells Matthew that Jasper went crazy and left. He admits he went after Sarah and Matthew kicks him out.
What did you think of this week's episode? Which of Elizabeth's many outfits was your favorite? Are Frank and Mary rushing things? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

Form and Function: The Intersection of Poetry and Architecture
Saturday, 09/27/2008, 11:30am–9:00pm
The affinity between poetry (from the Indo-European root meaning to build) and architecture (to weave, or fabricate) is as old as our language. In this symposium, lead practitioners from both disciplines speculate on the vital connections between poetry and architecture, and deepen our reading of the literary and built landscapes that inform our lives. Co-sponsored by the Center for Architecture. Funded, in part, by the New York Council for the Humanities, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Graham Foundation.
11:30am: Latin American Confluences: Poetry & Architecture at the Mid-Century
Far from merely reflecting the zeitgeist, poetry and architecture often actively engage to change it. The subject of this exchange between poets, scholars and architects ranges from the parallel emergence of concrete poetry and idealized civic and socio-economic designs in mid-century South America to the politics of individual expression.
A. S. Bessa is a curator and the author of Oyvind Fahlstrom: The Art of Writing and editor of Novas: Selected Writings of Haroldo de Campos. Carlos Brillembourg, a New York-based architect, is the editor of Latin American Architecture 1929-1960. Rubén Gallo teaches at Princeton University and the author of Mexican Modernity: The Avant-Garde and the Technological Revolution. Mónica de la Torre is the author of the poetry collections Acúfenos and Talk Shows and the co-editor, with Michael Wiegers, of Reversible Monuments: Mexican Contemporary Poetry.
2:30pm: Architexts
Louise Braverman is a New York-based architect, who has recently completed the design for the permanent home of Poets House.
Annie Finch is a poet, translator, editor and critic. She directs the Stonecoast MFA program in Creative Writing at the University of Southern Maine.
Jill Stoner, author of Poems for Architects: An Anthology, has written extensively on poetry and architecture. An architect in Northern California, she teaches at the University of California, Berkeley.
5:00pm: A Conversation with Architect Lebbeus Woods & Poet Susan Stewart
A theoretician and architect who focuses on experimentation, Lebbeus Woods's work is in numerous public collections, including the Whitney Museum of Art and the Getty Research Institute for the Arts and Humanities, and is currently on view at the Museum of Modern Art as part of "Dreamland: Architectural Experiments since the 1970s." Susan Stewarts books of poetry include Red Rover and Columbarium, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award. Susan Stewarts books of poems include Red Rover and Columbarium, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award. Her most recent books of criticism are The Open Studio and Poetry and the Fate of the Senses. She teaches at Princeton University.
7:00pm: Between Forms: A Poetry Reading

text: I bought SFHD a little after its release, I got a 360 and I always liked to play online. I'm not some master player but I think I play relatively well and I have a good win X loss ratio. For some reason, even with SSF4 knocking the door, I bought SF4 because it was cheap at an online store. I tried to play it online and the connection SUCKS MAJOR BALLS. I don't understand, SFHD runs fine here, with very little lagged matches and when they do happen the netcode is excelent and makes me think it is not so lagged as I might think, but in SF4 there is so much input lag that I must pratically see into the future to execute any move. I noticed offline how its easy to do reversals in this game, but I'm unable to do them online and I can do reversals in SFHD online, it's that slow. So how CAPCOM didn't see this? And how they didn't release a patch to fix the issue? Now that SSF4 is hiting the door there is very little hope they will fix it, so to me online play in SF4 is broken and useless, I'll just keep playing SFHD. Good job CAPCOM, in releasing a fighting game where just the ones who have excelent connections can play online.

The Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania
Leonard Harrison and Colton Point state parks are on opposite sides of Pine Creek Gorge, called the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania. Many scenic vistas offer spectacular views into the 800-foot deep, glacially-carved canyon. The scenery at these parks is superb in every season of the year and is especially stunning in late September through mid-October. The large abundance of deciduous hardwood trees display beautiful autumn shades of yellow, orange, red and purple. Pockets of evergreen trees provide a dash of green year-round.
The "Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania" begins just south of Ansonia, along US 6 and continues south for about 47 miles. At its deepest point, Pine Creek Gorge is 1450 feet deep and nearly one mile wide. At Leonard Harrison and Colton Point state parks, the depth of the canyon is about 800 feet and these parks have the most spectacular scenic overlooks.
Many recreational opportunities are available in the Canyon. Some of these activities are regulated by the Bureau of State Parks or by the Bureau of Forestry, which have slightly different rules and regulations. Visitors can hike, mountain bike, horseback ride, fish, seasonally whitewater boat, hunt, camp and birdwatch.
Formation of the Canyon
Until about 20,000 years ago, Pine Creek flowed northeasterly. Then the Laurentide Continental Glacier, which covered most of northern North America, moved into the area, pushing rocks, soil and other debris, which dammed Pine Creek, forming a lake near Ansonia.
The abundant glacial meltwater eventually overflowed the debris dam, reversing the flow of Pine Creek to its current southerly flow. The abundant meltwater of the glacier swiftly carved a deep channel. Thousands of years of erosion by Pine Creek has carved the spectacular Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.
Explore natural areas for more information.
For detailed information on the geology of the Pine Creek Gorge, the Pennsylvania Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey created the brochure Trail of Geology 5 Park Guide, Leonard Harrison and Colton Point State Parks.
Fall Foliage
Leonard Harrison and Colton Point state parks offer outstanding opportunities for fall leaf viewing. Shortening days, cool nights and warm days, wind, and adequate moisture through the preceding seasons, play a factor in the brilliance of the fall foliage. These factors also determine when the leaves will change in the Canyon. Droughts, wind, and cold temperatures can cause leaves to drop early in the fall. Each year varies on when the leaves change, however a guideline is the first three weeks in October provide a spectrum of fall foliage.
Leonard Harrison overlooks offer the best view of the full canyon. The drive up Colton Road to Colton Point State Park and the four overlooks offer spectacular fall foliage viewing opportunities.
General Fall Foliage Colors of Trees
Red: red maple, red oak, black cherry, sumac, sassafras
Yellow/Orange: sugar maple, hickories, sycamore, basswood, aspen, tulip poplar, birches, chestnut oak, serviceberry, black walnut
Brown: white oak, black oak, beech
Human Influence on the Canyon
American Indians used the Pine Creek Gorge as a major travel route. Pine Creek Trail follows the same general route as the original path. Just north of the park at Ansonia was a seasonal hunting camp.
The lumbering of the native white pine and later, the hemlock and assorted hardwoods, led to the settlement of this area. Logs were floated in huge rafts each spring to mills at Williamsport. Lumber from this area helped to make Williamsport the lumber capital of the world in the 1880s. Hemlock bark was peeled and hauled to several local tanneries to turn hides into leather. By the 1900s only a few small areas of native forest were untouched in all of Pennsylvania.
Due to the mass deforestation, massive forest fires, and unregulated hunting and trapping, the wildlife populations declined greatly in the Commonwealth. White-tailed deer, beaver, and elk were reintroduced to the state in the early 1900s. More recent additions to the canyon include the reintroduction of river otters in 1983 and the reintroduction of fishers in the mid 1990s. Bald eagles, once an endangered species, began nesting in the gorge in the late 1980s.
Prior to being a world-class multi-use trail, Pine Creek Trail was an active railroad. The Jersey Shore, Pine Creek and Buffalo Railroad began in 1883 by carrying timber to the sawmills in Tiadaghton, Cammal, and Slate Run. The railroad also transported coal north to New York State and vast amounts of hemlock bark to several local tanneries for use in the leather industry. By 1896, the railroad was carrying seven million tons of freight and three passenger trains on daily runs between Wellsboro Junction and Williamsport.
The railroad changed hands several times and was eventually taken over by Conrail. The last train passed through the canyon on October 7, 1988. Today, the rail line has taken on a new life as a part of the state's extensive network of railtrails.
In 1968, 12 miles of the canyon were designated a National Natural Landmark by the U. S. Department of the Interior. In 1993, the Canyon became a State Park Natural Area, which will protect it in a natural state for future generations. In 1992, Pine Creek was designated a Pennsylvania Scenic River.
Park History
Leonard Harrison State Park honors Leonard Harrison (1850-1929) of Wellsboro. Mr. Harrison was a civic-minded businessman and banker who contributed his time, energy and finances to the betterment of his home community.
Leonard Harrison State Park originally consisted of 121 acres and was called "The Lookout." Mr. Harrison owned and developed the area as a public picnic ground. He gave the area to the Commonwealth in 1922. The park was further developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the mid-1930s. A bronze monument to their achievement is on the overlook. Additional lands were added in the park in the late 1940s.

X-Rite ColorChecker Passport
I was intrigued by the ColorChecker when I was asked to beta test it. It first reminded me of the good old D1 days when profiling your individual camera was the in thing. But when one delves a little more into the ColorChecker, it's anything but days gone past revisited. The idea is really simple, create a custom profile for your camera that you use when you view and post process the file. While I'm not a Lightroom user, every Lightroom user I've talked to who has a ColorChecker swears by its results. The ColorChecker comes with software making it really easy for you to create your own custom profile, it really is amazing.
If I don't use Lightroom, why do I have a ColorChecker Passport? I do a lot of product shooting and getting accurate color is really important. I tend to have to do it on the road and so I have always carried the mini ColorChecker Classic, but travel takes a tool on this expensive piece of cardboard. Well, the Passport comes in a great plastic case that permits you to carry it in you back pocket if you want without worry of damaging it. That's great!
What's the difference between these two images? The top image is a straight file taken with AutoWB under a desk lamp. The image to the left is the same image with the gray eye dropper in curves clicked on the 18% gray square on the color checker. With that, the color cast is removed and you see a color corrected scene. Now I don't foresee hanging this on a Moose antler or putting it out in the middle of the Grand Canyon to achieve the correct color with a click. That's not the point of this tool. You might want to give David's write up a cruise to understand a little more of the power of this cool new tool.

9. James J. Braddock W 15 Max Baer: June 13, 1935, Madison Square Garden Bowl, New York
To understand just how big an upset this was, one must combine the depths of Braddock's struggles with the high regard Baer's talents were held. Braddock was a bright prospect at light heavyweight during the mid and late 1920s as he started his career 27-0-3 with 16 knockouts, all within four rounds. But chronic hand injuries combined with better competition chipped away at his success and after losing a 15-rounder to world light heavyweight champion Tommy Loughran in July 1929 Braddock's career – and life – went into a tailspin.
The effects of the Great Depression along with his frequent injuries forced Braddock to work as a longshoreman to make ends meet. With work assignments spurious at best, Braddock was forced to accept government relief. He took fights when available but with his attentions so divided he lost far more than he won. From Aug. 27, 1929 to Sept. 25, 1933 Braddock was a dismal 11-19-1 (4) with two no contests.
But on June 14, 1934 Braddock's melodramatic rise from the ashes began when he scored an off-the-floor third-round knockout over the heavily favored Corn Griffin. Two more upsets over future light heavyweight champion John Henry Lewis (W 10) and Art Lasky (W 15) – and the enormous press coverage Braddock's rags-to-riches story generated – catapulted the native New Yorker into a shot at the world heavyweight title against Max Baer.
Baer was a charismatic Californian who sported the physique of a movie star and a sledgehammer right that wielded lethal power – literally. Baer's explosive punches proved too much for Frankie Campbell to handle and he died from his injuries the following day. Additionally, although Ernie Schaaf passed away after fighting Primo Carnera, it was thought that the lethal blow he took in the final seconds of his 10-round majority decision defeat to Baer five months earlier – a punch that left Schaaf unconscious for nearly five minutes – contributed to his demise.
On the same night – and in the same building – as Braddock sprung his surprise against Griffin, Baer experienced his greatest night in boxing as he stopped Carnera in 11 rounds to win the heavyweight championship. Baer scored 11 knockdowns in 11 rounds and while the fight occasionally descended into farce the definitive takeaway was of Baer's incredible punching power. Entering the Braddock fight Baer was 40-7 (30) and because he had won his last 14 fights – eight by knockout – and had beaten Carnera so spectacularly he was an overwhelming 10-to-1 betting choice.
Hailed by the ring announcer as "the man who in the last year made the greatest comeback in ring history," the 191¾-pound Braddock was an immense sentimental favorite. In fact, Braddock was introduced last – an honor normally reserved for the champion – but Baer's introduction was met not with hostility but with polite applause. Still, geography and raw emotion were solidly on Braddock's side.
Instead of mentally steeling himself to steamroll Braddock, Baer fought listlessly. He allowed Braddock to take the play away from him early by landing solid jabs and clusters of power shots. Whenever Braddock landed a solid volley Baer dropped his hands and sneered instead of trying to retaliate. All the while Braddock executed his fight plan with understated efficiency. He mixed in rights to the body, constantly changed ring position, landed spearing jabs, ignored Baer's antics – and piled up plenty of points.
The crowd was left in a state of suspended disbelief. They suspected Braddock was building a huge lead on the scorecards but they also realized everything could be erased with a single Baer blow. They greeted every Braddock connect with a rousing cheer but at the same time they couldn't fully invest themselves in the prospect of Braddock's dreams coming true. Therefore, they enjoyed each moment for what it was.
Meanwhile, Baer was playing a dangerous game of chicken with himself; how long would it be before he let his big guns go and rid himself of this stubborn challenger? The longer he waited and the more he clowned, the reality of his situation became more clear: Baer was frittering away the greatest prize in sports.
Braddock landed a blistering volley early in round six and by round's end the crowd booed Baer's lackluster effort. Stung by the criticism, Baer finally woke up in the seventh by stunning Braddock with a trademark right. The iron-chinned challenger shook off the punch and continued to smartly pick his spots. Baer clowned away the eighth and ninth and the slow pace in the 10th brought another round of boos.
Wearing a more serious expression, Baer stepped on the gas in the 11th but his efforts bore relatively little fruit as Braddock continued to hang tough. Braddock summoned his own surge in the 12th and Baer's hard rights to the ribs did little to stem it. The urgency level increased down the stretch but the equation remained the same – Braddock's earnest overachieving was trumping Baer's puzzling carelessness.
With both men tiring most of the final round was spent at close range tossing three-quarters speed shots that mostly targeted the body. When it was over Braddock's manager Joe Gould leaped into the ring and hugged his man, surely knowing that he had guided his charge to the title. He was proven correct as judge Charley Lynch (11-4) and referee Johnny McAvoy (9-5) saw Braddock a solid winner while judge George Kelly scored it 7-7-1 but saw Braddock ahead on supplemental points.
Braddock's emergence from obscurity moved writer Damon Runyon to dub him "The Cinderella Man," a moniker that would define his journey for the rest of his days.

You have been involved in a situation much different than those you usually face. Perhaps this situation elicits an uncomfortable response. Although well trained, you are not prepared for this. You may find yourself confronted by reactions and feelings rarely reported and discussed by other emergency services personnel who have had similar experiences. This information sheet is provided to help you and your family better understand and cope with the reaction following your involvement in the traumatic situation.
In order to better understand your reaction, consider the situation in which you have been involved to be like the initial splash caused when a pebble is thrown into a pond. Your reactions are like the ripples which may continue long after the pebble penetrates the surface. As a consequence, you may have specific physical, psychological, and emotional reactions as well as family concerns. Being aware of the fact that your responses are not unusual may help lessen the level of anxiety these reactions and concerns might cause you and your family.
You are a normal person having normal reactions and experiencing the normal consequences of those reactions. The only thing that is abnormal is the situation you have just encountered! The reactions you may experience can be either physical, psychological, or, most probably, both. Experiencing any of the responses contained in this information sheet does not mean you are going off the deep end. The reactions are the normal and natural result of the situation you have just been through.
Major trauma is frequently followed by one or more emotional reactions. Although any of the following might occur, individuals vary in terms of the variety, intensity, and frequency of such reactions. Possible emotional reactions include:
Becoming insulated from the external world. For example, being unable to enjoy things that were pleasurable before the incident.
Having a memory impairment and/or trouble concentrating, being absent-minded, and having visions of the situation unexpectedly.
Experiencing depression that might be evidenced by fatigue, restless sleep, loss of appetite, or social withdrawal.
Experiencing moodiness, becoming irritable, and having aggressive outbursts with little or no provocation.
Experiencing general feelings of anxiety and being frightened without knowing for certain what is causing the fear.
Experiencing guilt at surviving when others perished, or guilt over the actions taken to survive.
Suffering intensification of symptoms when exposed to events, situations, or activities which symbolize the original trauma.
Feelings of guilt, anger, apprehension, or sadness may be experienced as related to the incident. There may also be renewed feelings related to previous personal traumas.
Questioning your chosen profession and your views of your aggressiveness. The lack of support you may receive from others may make you ask, "Does anyone care about what happens to me?"
Becoming distrustful of your department and your co-workers.
Finding that you are embarrassed and concerned about your reputation. It is possible that you will be more aware of how others respond to you and more sensitive to the treatment you receive from others.
Physical Reactions The physical reactions you may experience may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Following a critical incident such as the one you have just experienced, there are certain things you can do to assist in coping with any reactions you may experience. Some of these are:
Physical Exercise—Helps remove stress-produced chemicals and relieves built-up tension.
Proper Rest—Helps the body and mind regain strength.
Proper Diet—Take in foods and liquids that are high in carbohydrates and low in fats and sugar. No alcohol immediately following a critical incident!
Normal Activities—Quickly resume daily work and family schedule.
Open Discussion—Talk about the incident and your reactions with fellow emergency workers who responded to the incident with you, other firefighters or EMS personnel who have gone through similar incidents, a chaplain, a CISM-trained peer, or a psychologist if necessary. Even with outside assistance provided to help you successfully cope with the critical incident you have experienced, what you do to care for yourself will have a significant impact on the final intensity of your reactions and the speed of your recovery.
Helping Yourself
Individuals who experience a major trauma may attempt to protect themselves from the unpleasant aspects of the situation by denial; that is, refusing to acknowledge the negative consequences. Recognizing that the event might have had an impact on you will enable you to more effectively come to grips with the situation. Avoid impulsive decisions such as resigning from your department until you have worked through the situation. Refrain from self medication with drugs or alcohol as this serves only to feed the denial and can cause additional problems. Although you may wish to be alone, now is the time to turn to someone else for support. Good friends, family, clergy, and counselors may all be helpful in restoring balance to your life by providing support and feedback. Finally, be aware that while the feelings you are experiencing may not be comfortable, they are typical for one who has been through a major trauma.
Helping Your Family
A major approach toward helping your family cope with possible reactions is to realize that they are going through the trauma with you. Although you might want to protect them by not telling them what has happened, your reactions make it clear that there is something bothering you. It would help all involved if you share this information sheet with them. Although you might want to ignore your reactions, it is advisable to deal and cope with concerns as they arise. If not allowed to be expressed, feelings have a way of surfacing inappropriately. Discussing this with your spouse helps him or her prepare for possible reactions. This preparation will help decrease possible confusion and tension which might result from involvement in the trauma. Telling children what has taken place is advisable as they are typically questioned by, or find out from, other children about the incident. Sharing the information and feelings about the incident helps promote a clearer understanding and provides an open avenue for communication. A child who finds out about a traumatic situation from others is quickly involved in second-guessing, i.e., "Why didn't he tell me...I guess I shouldn't talk about it...Well, Jimmy says that what really happened was..." Such second-guessing leads to communication breakdowns and additional reactions to the situation. Children fill in the blanks when the information is not provided. After you've experienced a highly traumatic critical incident is not the time to play the loner. Your friends and family are an important emotional and spiritual resource that needs to be brought into your life during this time, not shut out. They may not understand everything you are feeling, but they will know you are hurting, and can help provide needed comfort.
Where To Go For Help
This information was developed to assist you in dealing with the effects of the traumatic event and your possible reactions. The management of your organization cares about you. They may help make a CISD debriefing available to you. They are concerned that you receive all the help you need during this particularly uncomfortable period. If you or your family want additional help, please contact any CISM team member or the state CISM program director.
