Use of macroinvertebrates to identify cultivated wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region

AbstractWe evaluated the use of macroinvertebrates as a potential tool to identify dry and intensively farmed temporary and seasonal wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region. The techniques we designed and evaluated used the dried remains of invertebrates or their egg banks in soils as indicators of wetlands. For both the dried remains of invertebrates and their egg banks, we weighted each taxon according to its affinity for wetlands or uplands. Our study clearly demonstrated that shells, exoskeletons, head capsules, eggs, and other remains of macroinvertebrates can be used to identify wetlands, even when they are dry, intensively farmed, and difficult to identify as wetlands using standard criteria (i.e., hydrology, hydrophytic vegetation, and hydric soils). Although both dried remains and egg banks identified wetlands, the combination was more useful, especially for identifying drained or filled wetlands. We also evaluated the use of coarse taxonomic groupings to stimulate use of the technique by nonspecialists and obtained satisfactory results in most situations.

Excellent Audio Performance
Yamaha drew on its long experience as a manufacturer of top quality HiFi speaker systems to develop these three all-weather models. We were able to make them extremely durable while still maintaining audio performance up to Yamaha standards. The woofer uses a highly responsive cone and a fluid-cooled soft dome tweeter, both specially processed for water resistance. The internal structure has been carefully designed for optimal time alignment between the two units, providing proper sound imaging. A waveguide and front baffle ensure good sound dispersion characteristics. Tonal clarity in all frequency ranges is excellent, with very low distortion.
All-Weather Construction
With a plastic cabinet and specially processed woofer and tweeter, these speakers will perform reliably when mounted outdoors. They are water resistant, and are not affected by sunlight (UV rays) or high or low temperatures.
Versatile Applications
Designed primarily for use as outdoor speakers, they can add to the fun of backyard parties, supply background music on patios and decks or be mounted in or near the garage. They can be used indoors or outdoors at public facilities, as well as inside shops. And of course, they can also serve as surround speakers in home theater installations.
Various Installation Possibilities
The bracket that comes with each speaker can be adjusted in multiple ways, providing a wide variety of installation possibilities. On the wall, on the ceiling, on the floor, with either end facing up, or even horizontally, with a 90° adjustment range. Virtually any way the customer wants to install them is possible.
Unique Cosmetic Design
The NS-AW392, NS-AW592 and NS-AW992 have a unique, appealing design that sets them apart from other outdoor speakers, most of which are box-shaped. Even though they stand out on their own, once you install them you'll find they nicely match the exterior or interior decor.

Clonidine Hydrochloride
The signs and symptoms of clonidine hydrochloride overdosage include hypotension, bradycardia, lethargy, irritability, weakness, somnolence, diminished or absent reflexes, miosis, vomiting and hypoventilation. With large overdoses, reversible cardiac conduction defects or arrhythmias, apnea, seizures and transient hypertension have been reported. The oral LD50 of clonidine in rats was 465 mg/ kg, and in mice 206 mg/kg.
The general treatment of clonidine hydrochloride overdosage may include intravenous fluids as indicated. Bradycardia can be treated with intravenous atropine sulfate and hypotension with dopamine infusion in addition to intravenous fluids. Hypertension, associated with overdosage, has been treated with intravenous furosemide or diazoxide or alpha-blocking agents such as phentolamine.
Tolazoline, an alpha-blocker, in intravenous doses of 10 mg at 30-minute intervals, may reverse clonidine's effects if other efforts fail. Routine hemodialysis is of limited benefit, since a maximum of 5% of circulating clonidine is removed.
In a patient who ingested 100 mg clonidine hydrochloride, plasma clonidine levels were 60 ng/mL (one hour), 190 ng/mL (1.5 hours), 370 ng/mL (two hours) and 120 ng/mL (5.5 and 6.5 hours). This patient developed hypertension followed by hypotension, bradycardia, apnea, hallucinations, semicoma, and premature ventricular contractions. The patient fully recovered after intensive treatment.
Symptoms of acute overdosage include nausea, weakness, dizziness and disturbances of electrolyte balance. The oral LD50 of the drug in the mouse and the rat is more than 25,000 mg/kg body weight. The minimum lethal dose (MLD) in humans has not been established. There is no specific antidote but gastric lavage is recommended, followed by supportive treatment. Where necessary, this may include intravenous dextrose-saline with potassium, administered with caution.
CLORPRES (clonidine hydrochloride and chlorthalidone) ® is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to chlorthalidone or other sulfonamide-derived drugs.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

By Rheta Grimsley Johnson
SANTA FE, New Mexico – An admission: I'm lukewarm about Georgia O'Keeffe's art. I like erotic flowers and horse skulls as well as the next person, but in paintings I prefer to see the French countryside, or the churning sea.
I've always admired the woman, Georgia O'Keeffe, however, more than her art. The fact that she hied late in life to the New Mexico desert to live alone and paint from nature impresses me far more than the work itself. For me, the desert is the definition of loneliness. She conquered it.
I'm the same way about the writer Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. I'm a tad ambivalent about her words – all that dialect is off-putting – but I find her tough life in the marshes at Florida's Cross Creek fascinating. She once hiked with a backpack holding snakes to try and overcome her fear of the reptiles. It didn't work. She added an indoor toilet with her first royalty check. She was one gutsy woman.
Both O'Keeffe and Rawlings were ahead of their times and crafts, successfully negotiating male-dominated realms of art and literature. They thumbed noses at convention and dove into deep waters. You can look at their respective faces and see strength. Like Sinatra once warbled, they did it their way, or ways.
I knew precious little about O'Keeffe until visiting the museum named for her here. I had no idea she was a Wisconsin native, for instance. Looking at the iconic photographs, you half forget she wasn't a Native American from New Mexico; by the end of her life she could have passed.
O'Keeffe lived with, and then married, the New York photograph Alfred Stieglitz, who did more to promote his wife than any rich patron. He shot more than 300 portraits of his younger bride, and their sensuality caused a stir, which, in turn, was good for business – his and hers.
In search of new things to paint, O'Keeffe traveled to New Mexico with a friend, and there she found her muse. Love at first sight. She'd spend summers there painting until Stieglitz died, and then she moved to New Mexico for good.
Rawlings, working in Rochester, N.Y., as a newspaper columnist, abruptly moved herself to a rural Florida orange grove that she bought through the classifieds. The first moment she saw the place, she knew she was home. Through her novels and nonfiction, Marjorie Rawlings made the hamlet of Cross Creek famous.
There's that old adage to "Bloom where you're planted." I guess that's sound advice if you haven't the resources to leave – or legs on which to walk away.
These women put themselves into settings that inspired and nurtured their talents. They did the choosing, perhaps more instinctively than calculatingly. The point: They took control.
O'Keeffe already was a rich artist when she made her move. Rawlings inherited money from her mother that she used to buy the grove. Money always helps in these artistic leaps.
But, still, in both cases, there was a will to plant themselves where they might bloom. And there were sacrifices.
They both were married to men who preferred more cosmopolitan existences. Rawlings got a divorce. O'Keeffe traveled to New Mexico alone each year. Neither relinquished a dream.
There is a price for artistic and personal independence. Both paid.

|Diana Dykstra (left), President and CEO of the California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues, presents SchoolsFirst FCU CEO Rudy Hanley (middle) with the Buck Levins Award.
updated 02/25/14 09:27 AM
Hanley Honored With Buck Levins Award
Nearly 200 California and Nevada credit union executives attending the Credit Union National Association's 2014 Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC) in Washington D.C. focused on three pressing issues as they prepared on Monday to visit members of Congress later in the week—data security, tax reform, and charter enhancements.
Click here to view Monday's photo gallery of California and Nevada credit union leaders.
These and other top subjects of concern—such as raising the member business lending cap, access to supplemental capital, and requesting a government study of Regulation D—remained top of mind for leaders at the California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues' legislative briefing. CEOs, board members, and executives were also reminded to tell their credit union's personal story about the positive impact being made in local communities across both states.
Leagues President and CEO Diana Dykstra lauded member credit unions' efforts toward the "Don't Tax My Credit Union" campaign kicked off last year by CUNA and state credit union leagues. So far, 1.3 million individuals across the nation have sent letters to congressional lawmakers in support of the credit union movement's federal tax exemption, with 300,000 coming from California and Nevada.
"We have taken the lead," Dykstra said. "I can't take the time to thank you enough on going to your members on this important issue for our movement."
This year's GAC comes as legislators begin the last half of the 113th congressional session. Congress's work will lead up to the mid-term elections in November. The first half was contentious as lawmakers remained entrenched over government spending, the debt limit, and issues surrounding budgetary policy.
Credit union CEOs said CUNA's annual event remains an immensely valuable touch point when it comes to meeting face to face with lawmakers.
Before the legislative briefing ended, the Kelly J. Purcell Credit Union Memorial Fund Scholarship was awarded to Ashley Rooney, a student at the George Washington University Graduate School of Political Management—and slated to graduate in 2016 with a master's degree in political management. Rooney talked about her love of politics and said she was honored to receive the scholarship in memory of Purcell.
"This scholarship is very important," she said. "It will help me make a difference like Kelly Purcell did."
Later that day, SchoolsFirst FCU CEO Rudy Hanley—who is retiring this year after a lifetime of service to the credit union movement—was recognized with the Buck Levins Award on stage during the general session for defending the credit union philosophy through advocacy efforts during his 40-year plus career. His words to the audience were brief, but notable, as he thanked the industry for the honor of having the privilege to serve so many years, as well as be involved on the political advocacy front for credit unions.

SVB Asset Management's monthly Observation Deck newsletter covers current topics on portfolio management, credit considerations and market events that influence investment strategy.
Renuka Kumar, CFA, Portfolio Manager
Over five years after the Federal Reserve embarked on record stimulus measures to spur economic growth, it is clear that the U.S. economy is on firmer footing. There is still progress to be made given the slow pace of recovery, but with GDP on track for 2.5-3.0 percent growth this year, the unemployment rate at 6.3 percent and the Fed halfway through its bond purchase tapering, the focus is now shifting to the question of how and when this easy, accommodative monetary policy will end.
Not surprising, there has been quite a bit of Fed rhetoric regarding the aforementioned topic this year. This rhetoric has ranged from hawkish comments from Philadelphia Fed President Plosser saying the central bank may be forced to hike rates "sooner rather than later" to dovish comments from New York Fed President Dudley stating there will be "a considerable period of time" between the end of its asset purchases and the first rate hike. The general consensus seems to follow the latter sentiment as evidenced by the minutes from the April Federal Open Market Committee meeting where policymakers concluded there was little risk of inflation with the current stimulus. While they discussed tools for normalization of policy, nothing implied that they would act soon.
The Fed continues to be data dependent, looking for greater support for underlying strength in the economy to avoid stunting growth prematurely. Policymakers recently dropped the 6.5 percent threshold for the unemployment rate in favor of a broader range of statistics. This means that in addition to the unemployment rate, they are also factoring in metrics such as the labor force participation rate, the "quits" rate (the rate at which workers are quitting their current jobs) and wage growth. Looking at these metrics in total, there are no factors pushing for an imminent end to accommodative monetary policy.
Of course, there are risks to the unprecedented monetary policy. Even with a slower rate of bond purchases, the Fed's balance sheet is on path to hit $4.5 trillion before year end and there is approximately $2.5 trillion of excess reserves on banks' balance sheets, which could pose a threat to inflation. This has heightened the talk of exit strategies to mitigate potential shocks to the economy. Once bond purchases come to an end—which is expected to happen this fall—the Fed could likely implement one or a number of the following options to remove excess liquidity from the system: increase the interest paid on bank reserves (IOER), halt reinvestments on securities or engage in outright asset sales, pursue reverse repurchase agreements where they pledge collateral in exchange for cash, offer interest-bearing term deposit facilities, and of course, raise the federal funds target rate.
Upcoming economic data and projections by Fed members will be telling in determining when and how fast they will exit current policy accommodation and begin tightening. This is a major factor in determining how to position portfolios and we believe a neutral to long stance remains appropriate until we see any signs of the Fed reversing course.
Melina Hadiwono, CFA, Head of Credit Research
Despite the Fed's moves to taper its bond purchases, bond yields remain low and continue to support robust credit markets. According to Fitch's report, the U.S. corporate bond market continued to show healthy issuances with financial sector leading the charge due to improving lending activity in the first quarter of 2014,. The financial sector's issues expanded 4 percent to $1.42 trillion, while industrial issues grew by 2 percent to $3.4 trillion with refinancing continuing to represent a healthy portion of the newly originated bonds. The financial sector's issuance volume peaked at $1.9 trillion in 2007.
Conversely, the industrial sector's bond issuances have been steadily increasing since 2006 mostly supported by growth from the energy, technology, consumer non-cyclical, healthcare, telecommunication and utilities industries. Borrowing costs continue to contract. Floaters are making their way in with 23 percent in the financial sector and 7 percent issuances from the industrial sector. Financial sector continue to dominate in the high investment grade landscape with over 71 percent with A- or better compared to 34 percent in industrials. Banking remains the prominent segment in the short-term bond landscape with over $500 billion in maturing debt in 2014-2016 compared to $489 billion for the combined 23 industrial subsectors.
S&P 500 companies continue to retain large amounts of cash as percentage of assets. While total debt has steadily increased, the absolute amount remained at 39 percent below peak level in 2007. Net Debt to EBITDA and Total Debt to Total Assets continue to hover close to two-decade low level. The rise in debt has been offset by strong operating margins and liquidity.
Despite recovery being in the low gear, credit fundamentals should remain steady in 2014 with some divergence among sectors. Deterioration in credit quality could occur if consistently easy credit conditions and high cash balances were to lead to an increase in aggressive financial policies.
We remain comfortable of the names on our Approved List and continue to monitor and search for prudent investment opportunities for our clients.
Paula Solanes, Portfolio Manager
The effects of the harsh winter back east have dissipated and the U.S. economy is showing signs of improved momentum. Non-farm payrolls came in very strong increasing by 288,000, the biggest gain in close to two years. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate dropped to 6.3 percent, the lowest level since 2008. However, the unemployment rate is still driven primarily by an all-time low in the labor force participation rate.
The consumer is recovering following the cold spell that covered the East Coast this past winter. Personal income increased 0.5 percent while personal spending increased 0.9 percent. Spending on durable goods increased by 2.7 percent, the biggest increase in four years. Spending on services also increased with healthcare and utilities leading the gain, while retail sales have been fairly steady with purchases up 0.1 percent in April.
Inflation is picking up; readings show that price pressures are on the rise. The consumer price index increased by 2 percent on a year-over-year basis, putting inflation in line with the Fed's target. Core inflation, which excludes food and fuel, increased by 1.8 percent.
Housing is at a steady place. The recent drop in mortgage rates and more stable prices is adding to home affordability. Housing starts climbed 13.2 percent to an annualized pace of 1.07 million, with gains driven by a 40 percent uptick in construction starts on multi-family homes. There has also been a notable increase in construction targeted at rental housing. Existing home sales increased 1.3 percent thanks to improved supply with the number of available properties close to a two-year high. Finally, new homes sales increased 6.4 percent, the biggest jump in six months, due to the drop in mortgage rates.
The second revision to GDP showed that the winter took a bite out of output, and it was worse than initially estimated. The good news is that winter has finally passed!
Hiroshi Ikemoto, Money Market Trader
Even with the relatively positive economic numbers in May, the bond market rallied with continuing uncertainty in the Ukraine and the dovish tone of the Fed speakers during the month. The two-year benchmark Treasury yield lost eight basis points month-over-month, while the three-year's was down 10 basis points. The Treasury bill market is showing an even stronger bid where the yield on six-month paper is five basis points and one-year is at nine basis points. Many traders are in a holding pattern, placing their cash in the short-end while waiting for any signs from the Fed of any rate hikes. Corporate bond spreads also tightened as demand for any type of yield is driving prices higher. Two-year investment grade financial bonds are trading in a range of 45 to 70 basis points depending on the region and rating, while similar maturing industrial names range from 40 to 45 basis points. Whether they are financial or industrial names corporate bonds maturing inside of one year are trading in a much tighter range of 22 to 35 basis points.
With little profit for corporate trading inside of three years and the cost of funding rising, many dealers are starting to lower their inventories to offset higher carry cost thus easing margin compression. Going forward, we should continue to see rates tight with little volatility in bonds maturing inside of 15 months. However, with the Fed tapering projected to end this fall, we should be getting more color from Fed Chair Yellen on the Fed's exit strategy. Hopefully.

Shimano Ultegra 6800
$1,250, Bike.shimano.com
The draw: Impeccable shifting and braking
Electronic groupsets get the headlines, but Shimano's mid-tier mechanical Ultegra group is the best value in bike components. The kit was totally updated this year and it achieves nearly the same functions that distinguish the top-level Dura-Ace set, including precise front shifting and highly predictable brake performance. The true value of Ultegra is most obvious on a road bike, although similar function translates to triathlon bikes. For elite performance, mechanical Ultegra is the most affordable option.

Mary Moller, DNP, ARNP, APRN, PMHCNS-BC, CPRP, FAAN, YSN Associate Professor and Specialty Director for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing, is the recipient of the 2012 APNA Award for Distinguished Service.
This award honors Prof. Moller's commitment, initiative, loyalty, integrity and exceptional and meritorious service to the American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA). Throughout her career she has developed research and clinical tools that promote recovery for persons diagnosed with complex psychiatric conditions and has partnered with consumers to promote recovery from mental illness and substance use disorders.
"Getting the telephone call last summer that I would be receiving the APNA Distinguished Service Award at our annual meeting in November has elicited many mixed emotions. On one hand it is such an honor that of course I'm overjoyed and humbled at the same time, yet on the other hand, to be honored for giving service to an organization that has been so incredibly interwoven and supportive in my professional life and such a blessing to my personal life that I wish there was some way to create an award to honor APNA for what it does for its members," said Moller. "I have been involved in many professional organizations throughout my 41 years as nurse, but no other group has offered so much at so many different levels to its members. Thank you, APNA for all you do for psychiatric nurses, our patients, and our communities."
A past president of APNA, Moller has presented at numerous APNA conferences on topics such as trauma, illness cognition, recovery from psychosis, and recovery models for inpatient care.
"Her message has affected the ways in which we see and treat people with mental afflictions, and in doing so, she has impacted research, education, and public advocacy," her colleague Kathleen McCoy DNSc, APRN says. Moller is a member of the APNA Recovery to Practice Steering Committee, Curriculum Workgroup, and Faculty, whose work, as part of a SAMHSA initiative, involves developing curriculum and training materials to increase nursing knowledge of recovery-oriented care and how it translates into nursing practice. "She has mentored many other nurses in APNA to take on positions of contribution and responsibility – thereby ensuring the growth and stability of the organization," says APNA colleague Mary Jensen, MA, RN, CRSS.

Meeting held on July 27, 2009
The Newtown Township Environmental Advisory Council met on Monday, July 27, 2009 in the Township Building. In attendance and voting were co-chairmen Aliya Aslam and Jay McGuigan and members Dennis Annarelli, Pam Fitzpatrick, Walt Leck and Autumn Thomas. Also present was Planning Commission Liaison Dennis Fisher.
Call to Order
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM.
Approval of Minutes
Ms. Aslam noted that page 1, paragraph 3 should read, "…if the Planning Commission wishes it to do so, the EAC can assist in developing a checklist to identify land development projects that may need information similar to an EIS. "
Under New Business on page 3, Ms. Aslam ask that the following be inserted, "Ms. Aslam reported that groundwater resource management at the regional level is primarily under the jurisdiction of the DRBC, and that the DRBC has issued guidelines to municipalities to assist them in developing specific rules in a document entitled Guidelines for Developing an Integrated Resource Plan. She reported that the DRBC considers the development and implementation of an IRP as the responsibility of local governments."
Mr. McGuigan moved to accept the minutes as amended. Mr. Leck seconded and the motion passed 5-0-1, with Ms. Thomas abstaining.
Liaison Reports
Newtown Creek Coalition: Ms. Aslam said that the EAC still has not had a member commit to serving as liaison to the Coalition. She suggested that the members rotate attendance, which would require each member to attend only about twice a year.
The recording secretary noted that the Coalition would not be meeting in August.
Ms. Fitzpatrick said that the Coalition had been discussing some statements recently made about the dam and reservoir at Hidden Lake. She would follow up with the Coalition's secretary for any updates.
Mr. Fisher said that there had been an informal presentation of the proposed redevelopment of the Stockburger property in Newtown Borough which might include some creek activities including a possible pedestrian bridge to the Township side of the creek.
Planning Commission: The Commission has been focusing its efforts on review of the zoning of the TC Town Commercial Zoning District on Sycamore Street.
Discussion of Projects
Wildlife Management: Jim and Jean Bray of Lower Makefield's EAC were in attendance to discuss their research in wildlife management. Mr. Bray said that Lower Makefield began researching wildlife management primarily because of damage to the understory in Five Mile Woods. The Lower Makefield Board of Supervisors has voted to conduct a sharpshooting to cull the herd; this could include some bow hunting. The hunt has not taken place yet. Mrs. Bray said that non-lethal methods will not solve the problem, but neither will lethal.
Mrs. Bray discussed Streiter lights, which are placed along roadways to keep deer from running into oncoming cars. The success rates reported are primarily anecdotal, with no hard data on reduction of accidents. The costs can be very high, with a one mile stretch of road costing about $10,000. Most of the installations are for short distances along highways.
Mr. Bray said that he has concerns about lethal methods of wildlife management primarily because, in order to be effective they must be kept up to date. Holding a hunt once will not produce long term benefits. He has done extensive research on contraception, which is still not perfected. Lower Makefield has established a committee to research non-lethal alternatives.
Mr. Bray noted that Lower Makefield has focused its wildlife management efforts on protection of natural areas, where the use of sharpshooters could be beneficial. It might not be as effective in residential areas and might have little impact on deer/vehicle collisions.
The members discussed Newtown Township's research on deer/vehicle collisions as the primary focus of research. Regarding deer hunting, members discussed with Mr. and Mrs. Bray such ideas as working with the State Gaming Commission on extending the hunting season, increasing the permitted number of kills and opening Township properties to controlled hunts. Because the surrounding municipalities, including Lower Makefield, are facing similar concerns, the members discussed collaborative, inter-municipal efforts toward wildlife management.
Mrs. Bray said that Lower Makefield has a Safe Driving Committee and a Citizens Traffic Commission. Perhaps these committees and Newtown Township could work on some public education on avoiding accidents with deer.
Mrs. Bray provided copies of some research on a number of wildlife management topics to members and agreed to share any other information she gathers. The members agreed that the issue is regional and the municipalities should communicate and share information.
Open Space: Mr. McGuigan reported that the Township had recently received the draft of the Open Space Comprehensive Plan from Bucks County Planning Commission. He explained that an ad hoc committee of Planning Commission, EAC and Park and Recreation Board members had prepared a draft plan which was then forwarded to the BCPC for additional information and comment. The plan is necessary if the Township wishes to participate in the County Open Space grant program. It is Mr. McGuigan's understanding that the Board of Supervisors will now review and approve the plan.
Ms. Aslam asked to take home the maps prepared for the open space inventory. She said that she would like to further investigate wetlands which have not been delineated.
Mr. Leck said that he knew of a Newtown resident with some expertise in wetlands. He would provide Ms. Aslam with contact information.
Ms. Thomas said that she would help with reviewing of wetlands as this is part of her profession.
Ecostar: tabled.
Energy Conservation: Ms. Thomas said that she has been in touch with someone at Middletown Township who is interested in working on a joint presentation for residents about energy conservation incentives available to homeowners. She will follow up on this.
Ms. Aslam reported that she had gone to see a demonstration of a wind turbine with the Township Manager and Public Works Director at Omnipoint in Dublin. The Township is working on finding an appropriate location for a wind turbine to help provide energy for the new municipal complex buildings.
Green Corner: Ms. Thomas said that she would like to investigate hosting a "Tree Tenders" workshop at the new municipal complex in the spring. The event would involve an educational component on tree planting and the planting of a donated tree. She would like to have some information on other Tree Tender workshops in the a area for the next newsletter.
New Business
Ms. Fitzpatrick said that a group of Bucks County EAC's would be having an informal meeting on September 26, 2009 in the Lower Makefield Library. On the agenda will be groundwater resource management. She will provide additional information on the meeting to the EAC members.
Ms. Thomas reported that in response to the Green Corner in the last newsletter she had been contacted by Newtown Grant resident Judy Murrin, who has expressed interest in becoming involved with the EAC. She urged Ms. Murrin to submit a letter of interest to the Board of Supervisors to be appointed to the vacant seat on the EAC.
Ms. Aslam suggested that, looking ahead, the EAC might want to sponsor a clean-up event at the Neshaminy Creek in Tyler Park.
Ms. Aslam said that she has been thinking about the stormwater basin at Village at Newtown and suggested that the owners be urged to clean up the area to create a park like setting.
Mr. Leck said that he has some concern that the basin never drains completely. He does not think it is supposed to be a pond but there is always standing water.
The meeting adjourned at 10:30 PM.
Respectfully submitted by:
Mary Donaldson, Recording Secretary

CUT the Habit Student Film Project
March 26, 2009
Promotes Changing Attitudes Toward Tobacco in Greater Franklin County
CUT the Habit, a student-led film project organized by the Healthy Community Coalition (HCC), recently launched its Web site featuring six films produced by students from area schools. Students from Jay, Livermore Falls, Mt. Abram, Mt. Blue, and Foster Regional Technology Center worked from July through February to create unique short films that demonstrate the harmful effects of tobacco-and how media, particularly movies, influences youth in their choice of whether or not to use tobacco products.
The CUT the Habit films are currently open for voting on the Web site www.cutthehabit.org. The top three films receiving the most votes will be distributed on DVDs and given out to local schools, community groups, and movie rental stores.
CUT the Habit is funded through a grant from the American Legacy Foundation. Approximately 1,200 smokers die each day worldwide from tobacco-related causes. "Big Tobacco (the tobacco industry) advertises their products to entice young people into a lifetime of smoking," said Lorri Mealey, HCC program coordinator. "The goals of the American Legacy Foundation through this grant are to counter the use tobacco products by youth and educate consumers about the causes and prevention of diseases associated with the use of tobacco products."
Throughout the project students worked with MPBN executive producer, Chris Sweet, a graduate of Mt. Blue High School, who offered technical assistance. Another Mt. Blue graduate, Desi Van Til, along with her husband Sean Mewshaw, spoke to students about their experiences working on movies in Hollywood, and offered advice for producing an effective short story through film.
All films will be shown at a film festival, scheduled for Friday, April 10, at the Ben Franklin Center at Franklin Memorial Hospital.
For more information about CUT the Habit student films, the film festival or joining CUT the Habit, please contact program coordinator Lorri Mealey at (207) 779-2929 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Attorneys for the businessman filed a motion on Thursday seeking reimbursement for the costs of fighting Jamie McCourt's motion to overturn their 2010 settlement that ended an ownership dispute over the Dodgers.
Jamie McCourt's attorneys argued that her ex-husband shortchanged her $770 million by misrepresenting the value of the Dodgers, which sold in 2012 for more than $2 billion. A judge refused to overturn the agreement in September.
Frank McCourt's attorneys state they spent seven months fighting the motion and he deserves to be reimbursed by his ex-wife.
As part of the couple's 2010 divorce settlement agreement, Jamie McCourt received $131 million tax-free and several luxury homes the pair had purchased during their nearly three-decade marriage.
"Even after paying for the attorneys' fees her actions caused Frank to incur, she will remain one of the richest people in America," Frank McCourt's motion states.
A phone message left for Jamie McCourt's attorney, Bert Fields, was not immediately returned.
A hearing on the motion has been set for March 12.

The homeowner had reported that someone broke into her residence and stole earrings valued at $450, a Wii gaming system valued at $150, a laptop computer valued at $1,500 and other items, according to a report.The homeowner told investigators that she suspected her daughter, Dori Burke, was involved. Subsequently Burke was arrested. Burke told authorities that she gave items from the home to Albritton so he could pawn them. Woman charged with assaulting husband during argument over pizza SEBRING - A Sebring-area woman was arrested Monday after her husband told authorities that during an argument over pizza she sprayed him with insecticide, according to a report released Tuesday. Maria Seibert, 68, no address given, was arrested Monday and charged with battery on a person 65 years old or older. Seibert had initially told authorities her husband struck her with a vacuum handle during an argument over ordering pizza.

Cellphone Problems Persist Across New York City
By Thomas Gryta
While many New York City residents returned to work Wednesday, the city's cellphone service remains strained — and a source of frustration for those trying to communicate.
Much of Lower Manhattan is still without wireless or wireline service, and mobile-phone users across the city complained on Twitter about service problems that seem to be increasing in the days after the storm.
The telecom providers, for their part, have offered few details on their service problems, other than to acknowledge that issues exist and the companies are working to resolve them. On Tuesday, the Federal Communications Commission said about a quarter of cellular towers have been damaged in East Coast states affected by Hurricane Sandy.
AT&T has been having wireless problems in the city, but the situation with Verizon Wireless seems to be getting worse.
New York State Assemblyman Alec Brook-Krasny and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz both reported on Twitter that there were outages in Brooklyn and across city in general from Verizon. Checks with subscribers show that Verizon Wireless phones — which were working Tuesday — aren't able to make or receive calls Wednesday, particularly in Brooklyn and Midtown Manhattan.
A Verizon Wireless spokesman said there aren't any updates or new problems since Tuesday, when the carrier reported around 94% of cell sites were functioning in the storm-hit areas. An AT&T Inc. spokesman said a vast majority of the company's cell sites in the Northeast were online and working. Both companies said teams were working to restore service in impacted areas.
The FCC said Tuesday that the situation with mobile phones may get worse before it gets better, as backup power wears down and flooding persists. If unable to make a call, sending a text message may be a more successful alternative.

A Reliable, Durable IronI must say, bajaj is a good old friend. I purchased this as birthday gift for my mother, and she seemed very happy. She liked the light weight and quickly heating of the iron as sometimes it becomes crucial to wait for the iron to get hot. Also, this is very balanced, and it can be placed easily while ironing. So, i'll give it 4.5/5. The only problem for me was that it's cord length wasn't lengthy enough for our home. May vary for different homes(although it's standard length).

I am delighted to welcome you to my blog which will be updated on a regular basis. I want this to be a two way communication process so I welcome any thoughts and feedback that you may have regarding my entries.
This will be a great opportunity for me to be sharing news and details of what I have been doing across the Trust with you all and I do hope you enjoy reading them.
It's that time of year again when final accounts are submitted and plans for the next twelve months agreed. Manchester Mental Health & Social Care Trust has had a very successful 2012/3, not only in terms of our financial performance, but also as regards the significant strides we've made towards key strategic goals. So, now we are focusing all our energies on the next stage in the journey: 2012/3.
In the year ahead, we will move into the implementation phase of our review of clinical services, moving towards a streamlined delivery model which will be easier for service users, carers and staff to navigate and which puts recovery and re-integration into the community at the heart of all that we do.
As one of only six national demonstrator sites for recovery, we understand the pivotal role that joined-up, end-to-end care pathways have to play in the delivery of care. With our breadth of social care, health & wellbeing, specialist mental health, community-based, inpatient and urgent care services, we are uniquely placed to demonstrate how our blend of services and expertise delivers benefits to the people we serve.
Our clinical strategy in the coming year will therefore focus on our three main areas: urgent care, inpatient services and our community teams. Working with our clinicians and partners, we have developed clear pathways for each, appointed strong leaders in key positions and informed all staff of not only where we need to be, but how we believe we are going to get there. The new arrangements dovetail with our Stepped Care delivery model, allowing us to 'flex' levels and types of care in direct response to need and individual journeys towards recovery.
In 2012/3 we will also be focusing on the national dementia challenge, building on our pre-eminent work in the field. The Trust is fortunate to have the national Dementia Tsar, Professor Alistair Burns leading this work and piloting innovative ways of ensuring early assessment working with local GP surgeries. At the moment, some 25 per cent of acute NHS beds and around 75 per cent of nursing home places are occupied by sufferers of dementia. In the year ahead, we expect to work with Manchester Academic Health Science Centre (MAHSC) and other partners to develop new strategies for dealing with various forms of dementia right across the City.
Other key objectives for the Trust will be further investigation into the links between physical and mental health, working with the Schizophrenia Commission to improve the care of people with schizophrenia and the ongoing drive to de-stigmatise all forms of mental illness.
Finally, we very much hope that this will be the year when we become a Foundation Trust. Recent elections have provided us with a vibrant and representative Council of Governors who will help the Board to set strategy once we have the necessary authorisation. I am proud to report that almost all seats were contested and that the final composition of the Council includes a good number of service users and carers, as well as members of the local communities we serve.
This year has been a good year all round and that's down to the people who actually make up the Trust, particularly those staff who have once again gone 'above and beyond' in terms of their personal and professional commitment to our services. Sincere thanks are due to them - and to our service users and carers who continue to work tirelessly with us to review, refine and where appropriate reshape services so that they remain relevant and appropriate. We could not hope to do what we do without their support and active involvement.
Here in the north mental health community team, this valued committed small team left with four workers and one part time worker, in the past there was 13 of us, not knowing what our furture holds, is a unnerving thought to us all. Together we bring over 100 years of long term experience of dealing with all and most aspects of mental health problems and yes , even some times achievements within mental health is achieved with the folks we have worked with. Over many years within there own homes and the wider community. We came from the council over to the NHS and i do hope that come next year, that they have the insight to see how we have lots still to offer in recovery development work to give still, because even though we are quite new to the NHS we was always in the community for years and are known were it really counts to our service users their familys and the wider community out side the NHS buildings is us reaching out and giving our services to one of the groups most vunuable in our society.

Flatts Family to Grow
The Rascal Flatts family is getting a little bigger. Bassist and vocalist Jay DeMarcus and his wife, Allison, a former Miss Tennessee and CMT personality, are anticipating the birth of their first child in January.
"Allison and I are thrilled about becoming parents. I am confident Ali will be a wonderful mother because she has done an incredible job raising me over the past six years," Jay said in a statement.
"Jay and I are thrilled to let everyone know we are going to be parents! We can't wait and are ecstatic to share our news," added Allison.
The group's Gary LeVox is father to two daughters, 9-year-old Brittany and 6-year-old Brooklyn, with wife Tara. Meanwhile, Joe Don Rooney and wife Tiffany Fallon have a 2-year-old son, Jagger, and are expecting their second child in September.
Jay and Allison were married May 15, 2004, in Nashville.

By 1969, with his schooling complete, he elected to turn pro in the Detroit Red Wings' chain with the Fort Worth Wings of the CHL. Over the three seasons he spent in the organization, he got only two brief tryouts with the parent club that amounted to little more than a tutorial on bench warming. Otherwise, he had plenty of time in Texas to refine his game.
His first real break came when the expansion Atlanta Flames secured his rights in 1972. The fledgling Flames could use all of the defensive help they could get which afforded Manery his first chance to show the Wings what they'd been missing.
Over the five seasons that followed, he established himself as one of his team's most consistent defenders. Although not a hitter, he earned his marks as a cool customer who could skate well, move the puck with ease, shoot well from the point, and perform effectively under pressure.
He might well have remained a Flame throughout his career. But by 1977, the club was increasingly strapped for cash. To cut corners, the team traded Manery and his salary to the Los Angeles Kings.
During his first two seasons on the West Coast, he was consistently his team's best all-around defender. He was usually teamed with resident brawler Dave Hutchison who was known to spiral out of control. Manery brought a steadying influence that helped keep the duo more focused.
In his third and final season with the Kings, the usually dependable blueliner became inexplicably lethargic. He plodded through the first part of the campaign like an overripe apple ready to fall. It took some time, but it was eventually discovered that he'd been suffering from an iron deficiency in his blood. He gradually recovered, however, to complete the season and then retired for keeps.

Looking in peak condition and every inch a potential champion, Murray hardly broke sweat as he took his Slovakian opponent to pieces in an hour and 24 minutes, winning 6-1 6-1 6-0.
"Getting games finished quickly helps. I feel like that cost me a little bit at the French Open," said Murray after the quickfire victory.
"Not that I would necessarily have beaten Rafa, but I played a lot of sets and in a lot of those sets, I was up. If you can finish matches as quickly as possible, it helps."
Rola did earn three break points during the match, but was unable to take any of those chances.
And Murray was utterly ruthless, particularly on Rola's second serve: the defending champion won 71% of the points when Rola failed to find the box with his first serves.
While the British number one was winning Wimbledon last year, Rola was winding up a successful college tennis career for Ohio State University. The contrast in quality was stark.
Some of the biggest cheers on an otherwise partisan Court One were reserved for Rola's two winning games, the crowd willing him to avoid further embarrassment.
But Murray, blasting winners from both sides of the court, put the 23-year-old firmly in his place to set up a third round clash with either Czech Jan Hernych or Spain's Roberto Bautista.
[LINK: Murray on course to be Britain's greatest-ever sportsman?]
"I played well today," Murray told the BBC after his 16th consecutive singles victory at the All England Club (seven at the 2012 Olympics, seven at last year's Wimbledon and now two this year).
But he cautioned against reading too much into the one-sided match, pointing out that his opponent was out of his element.
"This is the first year he's played on grass. He's just come out of college and broken into the top 100.
"It was tough for him, because he doesn't have a lot of grass-court experience, but he'll definitely keep improving. I had to concentrate on my side of the net today, though."

Officials Rescuing About 500 Atlantic City Residents
Atlantic City officials are trying to rescue hundreds of people from their homes, with just an hour left before Hurricane Sandy is expected to hit, the city's top emergency management official said.
In total, about 3,000 people are left in the gambling mecca, which is expected to receive a direct hit from one of the biggest storms in history. Tom Foley, the city's director of emergency management, said most of the city's 40,000 residents had followed mandatory evacuation orders.
The National Guard was assisting with rescues, he said. He expected the hurricane to hit at around 6 p.m.
Despite earlier reports of the famed boardwalk collapsing, Mr. Foley said the boardwalk was "fine."
There haven't been any deaths or major injuries, he said. Much of the city has been flooded because of the rain and the swelling bay, he said.
Mr. Foley said officials were trying to rescue 490 people from their homes.
In addition, two large clam boats came out of their moorings and became loose inside the harbor, he said.
"This is a hurricane. This is what happens," he said. "The people who chose to stay here did not heed the warnings of emergency management and National Weather Service."
Atlantic City, with its iconic boardwalk and casino industry, relies heavily on tourism. A Rutgers University study from May 2010 found that Atlantic City drew 34.4 million visitors who spent an estimated $7.5 billion in 2010. Casino resorts were a major draw, with 80% of visitors reporting that gambling was the primary purpose of their trip.

on March 9, 2014 - 12:53 AM
There's something special about March for Cody Freeman.
Playoff time brings out the best in the junior forward and Saturday it brought out his first career hat trick.
Freeman scored three goals to pace the Canisius Golden Griffins to a 5-0 win over Sacred Heart in front of 403 at the Buffalo State Ice Arena.
The Griffs swept the best-of-three series and now move into the best-of-three quarterfinal round where they will play an opponent still to be determined.
No. 12 Army faces No. 5 Robert Morris tonight in a series that will be the key to determining the quarterfinal bracket since Atlantic Hockey re-seeds after the first round.
Last year, Freeman was tied for the national lead for goals in March with eight.
He scored his goals Saturday in front of the net and off rebounds while one was a beautiful, momentum-changing shorthanded tally.
"March is my month I guess," Freeman said. "Since I played junior hockey, there's something about the playoffs that I think gets everyone going. Even going back to my freshman year, I only scored one playoff goal, but it was in the first game. Last year things obviously blew up. It's just getting hot at the right time and I just hope it keeps going, like last year."
Canisius took a 1-0 lead with 6:37 left in the first period when Ralph Cuddemi's shot hit Sacred Heart goaltender Alex Vazzano high in the chest. The puck bounced over the back of Vazzano and into the net.
Nursing the one-goal lead, Canisius found itself on the penalty kill. That's when Freeman created a turnover at center ice, kicked it up to himself, made a nice move and shot high past Vazzano.
The goal sparked the Griffs who carried the balance of play for the rest of the period.
Braeden Rigney added a goal at 11:33, jamming the puck in low, stick-side off a pass from Logan Roe.
Freeman scored twice in the third period to give Canisius a cushion. He netted one at 6:20 and another at 14:25 with Kyle Gibbons picking up assists on both goals
Sacred Heart had opportunities including pulling the goaltender to turn a 4-on-3 power play to a 5-on-3 chance midway through the third, but the Canisius defense was solid and Tony Capobianco made the saves he needed to.
Capobianco recorded his second straight shutout, making 31 saves. The senior goaltender set the program for career saves on Friday night. Three of his career record eight shutouts have come in the Atlantic Hockey Tournament.
"I've been seeing the puck pretty well," Capobianco said. "I've been getting to my spots early, on passes just getting my position so I don't have to go into scramble mode. And then there's the guys in front of me. I think they had three huge blocked shots and it gives me more motivation to stop the puck."
Niagara drops AIC
The Purple Eagles needed two overtimes to get on the board Friday night, but they didn't waste any time Saturday in completing the first-round series sweep.
Niagara built a 3-0 lead in the first period and went on for a 4-2 win over American International College at Dwyer Arena. With the win, Niagara takes the first-round series over AIC and advances to the quarterfinal round.
Sam Alfieri scored 4:36 into the game to give Niagara the early lead. Matt Chartrain and Ryan Rashid added first-period tallies,
Matt Willliams added a goal at 4:02 of the second to extend the Purple Eagles' lead to 4-0.
American International came back in the third, scoring 44 seconds into the period then cutting the lead in half at 11:34, but the Purple Eagles held on for the win.
Niagara hits the road for a best-of-three quarterfinal series against a still-to-be-determined opponent.

|Target Penetration of Laser-Based 3D Imaging Systems
|January 19, 2009
|The ASTM E57.02 Test Methods Subcommittee is developing a test method to evaluate the ranging performance of a 3D imaging system. The test method will involve either measuring the distance between two targets or between an instrument and a target. The first option is necessary because some instruments cannot be centered over a point and will require registration of the instrument coordinate frame into the target coordinate frame. The disadvantage of this option is that registration will introduce an additional error into the measurements. The advantage of this option is that this type of measurement, relative measurement, is what is typically used in field applications. A potential target geometry suggested for the test method is a planar target. The ideal target material would be diffuse, have uniform reflectivity for wavelengths between 500 nm to 1600 nm (wavelengths of most commercially-available 3D imaging systems), and have minimal or no penetration of the laser into the material. A possible candidate material for the target is Spectralon1. However, several users have found that there is some penetration into the Spectralon by a laser and this is confirmed by the material manufacturer. The effect of this penetration on the range measurement is unknown. This paper will present an attempt to quantify the laser penetration depth into the Spectralon material for four 3D imaging systems.

When you choose HEC Montréal, you're choosing an exceptional environment. Immediate boarding for Montréal, Quebec, Canada.
A gateway to the Americas, Montréal is a fascinating city. Its typically North American vitality is the perfect match for its European-inspired way of life.
With its expansive green spaces and European-styled neighbourhoods, Montréal is attractive for so many reasons. It offers an exceptional quality of life combine with a relatively low cost of living compared with the world's other great cities, which can be attributed to the reasonable cost of housing.
Montréal's global outlook serves as magnet that has led many multinationals and organizations to set up their head offices here. The city is home to the head offices of over 65 international organizations.
With its four universities, Montréal ranks first in North America for the number of university students per capita and is among the country's leading university research cities. In 2005, Montréal ranked first in Canada for funding dedicated to research.**
15,000 international students at four English-speaking and French-speaking universities
Libraries in every community, including the Grande Bibliothèque du Québec
Some twenty classic museums to suit every taste, from fine arts to history to humour
Nature museums: planetarium, Botanical Garden, Insectarium and Biodôme
Many theatres, both amateur and professional
Countless performance halls, including the Bell Centre and the Olympic Stadium, both of which can host crowds reaching into the tens of thousands of spectators
** Attractiveness indicators, Montréal International, 2008
Montréal is not only a bilingual city where English and French live side by side and intermingle quite naturally, but it is also home to some 35 languages and at least as many well-established cultural communities, including the Italian, Chinese, Greek and Spanish-speaking communities.
Montréal overflows with warmth year-round, thanks to a whirlwind of cultural and sporting activities that fill its busy calendar. A slew of bistros, pubs, restaurants, night clubs and trendy dance clubs… Unquestionably something to suit every taste and budget.
Countless bars, bistros and dance clubs.
Restaurants serving food from all over the planet, enough to satisfy every palate, appetite and budget, not to mention the home-grown specialities that have gained increasing renown.
A plethora of world-class events and festivals held throughout the year, including:

Approximately three times the size of France or Texas, Quebec is one of Canada's 10 provinces, a predominantly French-speaking territory within a mostly English-speaking continent. As a jurisdiction that counts on immigration to keep its population stable, Quebec is Canada's only province to select its own immigrants. Tolerant and open, Quebec is a world leader in human rights. The province's laws and population are strong defenders of equality of the sexes and keen on fighting discrimination of any kind, be it on the grounds of ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation. Protecting nature is important to Quebecers, who produce 98% of their electricity using renewable resources.
The world's second largest country in terms of geographical size, Canada is a country of wide open spaces. Its population of 33 million is concentrated mostly along the southernmost part of the country, within a relatively narrow yet densely populated strip of land running along the border with the United States. Politically, the country is a parliamentary democracy that has inherited British institutions and a constitutional monarchy. Multiculturalism is one of this immigration nation's key features. In Canada, permanent residents (selected immigrants) have the same rights and responsibilities as Canadian citizens, other than the right to vote. English and French are its two official languages.

Line Rider McDonald's commercial Jun 06 2008
Whoa, a TV commercial for McDonald's that features Line Rider. (via waxy)
Whoa, a TV commercial for McDonald's that features Line Rider. (via waxy)
Ok, this is the last one of these, I promise. This is the most elaborate Line Rider track ever created. Dear god, how much time did that take to make?
Trailer for an amazing-looking game called Crayon Physics Deluxe; it's part Line Rider, part The Incredible Machine. Deluxe is a sequel to the more rudimentary Crayon Physics (sadly, PC-only). (via clusterflock)
The Line Rider version of the first level of Super Mario Bros...in case you need to know what having way too much time on your hands looks like.
Forget all the other Line Rider videos you've seen previously. They all suck in comparison to the mastery of this one. Beautiful. (thx, this is narnia)
A California game company purchased the rights to Line Rider and plans to release versions of the game for the Nintendo Wii and DS. (thx, selena)
Last Saturday, Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg collaborated on a music video for a new holiday gift idea: Dick in the Box. If you haven't seen the video yet, go now and then come back...it's pretty funny and you won't understand the rest of this if you haven't seen it. So go!
You back? So, my favorite part of the song is the instructions and yesterday while we were alternating between watching the video like 50 times and assembling some IKEA furniture for the office, I had the obvious idea. Ikea instructions for making Dick in a Box:
More Dick in a Box: Mr. and Mrs. Potatohead version, Line Rider version, some guy dancing in his living room with a box fastened to his crotch with a belt version, and a this is either brilliant or completely stupid (DURRR! DURRR!) video response.
Line Rider is not quite a game but not quite a toy or drawing tool either. But judging by the 6,000,000 views its gotten since it was posted a month ago, Line Rider certainly is compelling. I don't even like playing it all that much, but I spent a solid hour a few weeks ago watching videos of other people's tracks on YouTube; it's just so fascinating to see how much can be done with simple lines and rules. Here's one of the better tracks I've seen (c/o clusterflock). This little non-game has even shown up in Time magazine. Go, little Line Rider, go.
Update: A new version of Line Rider is to be released soon. New features will include an eraser, new types of lines, line snapping, etc.
If you're looking to record your Line Rider creation and post it to YouTube, you can use CamStudio (Win), Super Screen Recorder (Win), oRipa Screen Recorder (Win), Screen Movie Recorder (Mac), iShowU (Mac), Snapz Pro (Mac), and ScreenRecord (Mac).
For information on how to play Line Rider more effectively, check out the Line Rider Forums.
