Acolytesby Nikki Giovanni
A collection of eighty all new poems, Acolytes is distinctly Nikki Giovanni, but different. Not softened, but more inspired by love, celebration, memories and even nostalgia. She aims her intimate and sparing words at family and friends, the deaths of heroes and friends, favorite meals and candy, nature, libraries, and theatre. But in between, the deep and edgy conscience that has defined her for decades shines through when she writes about Rosa Parks, hurricane Katrina, and Emmett Till's disappearance, leaving no doubt that Nikki has not traded one approach for another, but simply made room for both.
Bicyclesby Nikki Giovanni
In a career that has earned her accolades, honorary degrees, and awards from both fellow poets and everyday poetry lovers, Nikki Giovanni has established herself as a writer who can entertain and challenge, inform and inspire. Sometimes controversial, sometimes ethereal, but always beautiful, her poems move readers of all hues and generations. With Bicycles, she's collected poems that serve as a companion to her 1997 Love Poems. An instant classic, that book-romantic, bold, and erotic-expressed notions of love in ways that were delightfully unexpected. In the years that followed, Giovanni experienced losses both public and private. A mother's passing, a sister's, too. A massacre on the campus at which she teaches. And just when it seemed life was spinning out of control, Giovanni redis-covered love-what she calls the antidote. Here romantic love-and all its manifestations, the physical touch, the emotional pull, the hungry heart-is distilled as never before by one of our most talented poets.
Blues: For All the Changesby Nikki Giovanni
Intimate, edgy, and unapologetic, Blues: For All the Changes bears the mark of Nikki Giovanni's unmistakable voice.In a career that has spanned three decades, Giovanni has created an indispensable body of work and earned a place amoung the nation's most celebrated and controversial poets; Gloria Naylor calls her "one of our national treasures." Now, in these fifty-two new poems, Giovanni brings the passion, fearless wit, and intensely personal self that have defined her life's work to a new front.Invoking the fates and exalting the rhythm of the everyday, Giovanni writes with might and majesty. From the environment to our reliance on manners, from sex and politics to love among Black folk, Blues is a masterwork with poems for every soul and every mood: The poignant "Stealing Home" pays tribute to Jackie Robinson, while "Road Rage Blues" jams on time and space; Giovanni celebrates love's absolut power in "Train Rides" and laments life's trasience in "Me and Mrs. Robin." With the tenderness that has made her on of our most accessible and beloved poets, Giovanni evokes a world that is not only just but also happy. Her powerful stand engages the world with a truth telling that is as eloquent as it is elegant.Intimate, edgy, and unapologetic, Blues For All the Changes bears the mark of Nikki Giovanni's unmistakable voice. At once political and intensely personal, this long-awaited volume embodies the fearless passion and wit that have made Nikki Giovanni one of our most accessible poets; her audience defies all boundaries of race, class, age, and style.From the poignant "Stealing Home," Ms. Giovanni's tribute to Jackie Robinson, to the defiant "Road Rage Blues," a jam on time and space, these fifty-one poems challenge the fates and invoke the precarious state of our environment, Giovanni's battle with illness, manners, and other topics seminal to one of our most compassionate, outspoken observers.With a reverence for the power of language, Blues For All the Changes will once again enchant Nikki Giovanni's extensive following and inspire those who are newly discovering her work.
Chasing Utopiaby Nikki Giovanni
Nikki Giovanni's poetry has spurred movements and inspired songs, turned hearts and informed generations. She's been hailed as a healer and as a national treasure. But Giovanni's heart resides in the everyday, where family and lovers gather, friends commune, and those no longer with us are remembered. And at every gathering there is food--food as sustenance, food as aphrodisiac, food as memory. A pot of beans is flavored with her mother's sighs--this sigh part cardamom, that one the essence of clove; a lover requests a banquet as an affirmation of ongoing passion; homage is paid to the most time-honored appetizer: soup. With Chasing Utopia, Giovanni demands that the prosaic--flowers, birdsong, win-ter--be seen as poetic, and reaffirms once again why she is as energetic, "remarkable" (Gwendolyn Brooks), "wonderful" (Marian Wright Edelman),"outspoken, prolific, energetic" (New York Times), and relevant as ever.
The Collected Poetry of Nikki Giovanniby Nikki Giovanni
This omnibus covers Nikki Giovanni's complete work of poetry from 1967-1983. THE COLLECTED POETRY OF NIKKI GIOVANNI will include the complete volumes of five adult books of poetry: Black Feeling Black Talk/Black Judgement, My House, The Women and the Men, Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day, and Those Who Ride the Night Winds. Nikki self-published her first book Black Feeling, Black Talk/BlackJudgement in 1969, selling 10,000 copies; William Morrow published in 1970. Know for its iconic revolutionary phrases, it is heralded as one of the most important volumes of modern African-American poetry and is considered the seminal volume of Nikki's body of work. My House (Morrow 1972) marks a new dimension in tone and philosphy--This is Giovanni's first foray into the autobiographical. In The Women and the Men (Morrow 1975), Nikki displays her compassion for the people, things and places she has encountered--She reveres the ordinary and is in search of the extraordinary. Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day (Morrow 1978) is one of the most poignant and introspective of all Giovanni's collections. These poems chronicle the drastic change that took place during the 1970s--when the dreams of the Civil Rights era seemed to have evaporated. Those Who Ride the Night Winds (Morrow 1983) is devoted to "the day trippers and midnight cowboys," the ones who have devoted their lives to pushing the limits of the human condition and shattered the constraints of the stautus quo.

Quilting the Black-Eyed Pea: Poems and Not Quite Poemsby Nikki Giovanni
When Nikki Giovanni's poems first emerged during the Civil Rights and Black Arts Movements of the 1960s, she immediately took a place among the most celebrated and influential poets of the era. Now, Giovanni continues to stand as one of the most commanding voices to grace America's political and poetic landscape. This collection of new poems is a masterpiece that explores the ecstatic union between self and community. Each poem bears our revered cultural icon's trademark of the unfalteringly political and the intensely personal. Quilting the Black-Eyed Pea is Nikki Giovanni's meditation on humanity and soul. It's her revelatory gaze at the world in which we live -- and her confession on the world she dreams we will one day call home.
Rosaby Nikki Giovanni Bryan Collier
Fifty years after her refusal to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, city bus, Mrs. Rosa Parks is still one of the most important figures in the American civil rights movement. This tribute to Mrs. Parks is a celebration of her courageous action and the events that followed.

What do students from L.P. Hill and Duckrey Elementary Schools - two among the 37 Philadelphia School District buildings slated for closure in June - think about officials' decision to shutter their schools?
"I feel down," said Shemar Bates, 11, a sixth grader at Duckrey, in North Philadelphia on the edge of Temple University's campus. "I feel shocked. I don't want them to close my school."
Shemar was one of a handful of students, parents, and members of the community organizing group ACTION United who met at City Hall on Friday, hoping to hand-deliver petitions and dozens of letters directly to Mayor Nutter. They want the mayor, governor, School Reform Commission, and anyone else with clout to listen and, they hope, intervene to halt school closings.

But Diana soon discovers that the place has a secret: In the back room, the smart, savvy tailors sometimes try on the cool clothes. When Diana is modeling a luxe coat, she finds in its pocket the invitation to a Broadway gala opening...and decides to assume the role of the coat owner--and go to the event! Hilarity, mistaken identities, and even some light romance ensue...

Harriet The Spy, Double Agentby Louise Fitzhugh Maya Gold
Harriet is impressed to learn that the girl she has befriended, now called Annie Smith, is the person who not only created three names-Rosarita Sauvage, Yolanda Montezuma, and Zoe Carpaccio-but also three distinct personalities to match. This girl has potential. Being a spy has always been rather solitary, so Harriet is glad to have a new friend and spy partner. But then Harriet realizes that Annie reveals very little about herself, and indeed, is not telling the truth about where she goes and who she meets on the weekend. Sport says he's in love with the girl, but Annie lets drop she's in love with an older man.

The Kenyan Expedition #8by Maya Gold Stefano Turconi Steve Stevenson
"With the smarts of Nancy Drew and the charm of Eloise, Agatha is an exciting addition to the girl-detective canon." --School Library JournalA rare species of white giraffe, worshipped by the Masai tribe, has disappeared from the savannah.

Mask Appeal (Cinderella Cleaners)by Maya Gold

Luckily, she has the great resource of the No-Pickup rack at Cinderella Cleaners, where she can find the perfect ball gown--and mask! On the night of the ball, however, she meets her movie-star crush--and has to decide if she should hide behind her disguise, or reveal the real Diana.
Mother Teresaby Maya Gold
For most people, the words rich and famous are joined at the hip. It's hard to imagine a celebrity who left home at 18 to pursue a religious life, gave up all her worldly possessions except three identical outfits, a pair of sandals, and a tin washing pail, and chose to live and work among the poorest of the poor. Yet Mother Teresa of Calcutta did just that, founding orphanages and shelters in her adopted home of India and around the globe. By the time of her death in 1997, she had gained thousands of followers working with needy, ill, and homeless people all over the world. She had met with many world leaders and won many honors, including the Nobel Peace Prize
Prep Cool (Cinderella Cleaners)by Maya Gold

And Diana's life is turned upside down when, due to a series of misinterpretations, she must assume the identity of a snooty private school girl and attend a school not her own for one day! Will she be discovered, or will the disguise come off without a hitch?
Rock and Role (Cinderella Cleaners)by Maya Gold

When Tasha Kane, a pop star who is even bigger than Taylor Swift, comes to film her latest video in Diana's hometown, Diana gets a chance to audition. The only problem is, her role in the video hinges on wearing her rockin' vest--which she just happened to borrow from Cinderella Cleaners! Diana has to return the vest, but does that mean she can't be in the coolest video of all time?
Scheme Spirit (Cinderella Cleaners)by Maya Gold
Diana's never been a fan of cheerleaders. After all, mean queen bee Kayleigh is one, and she's always snooty to Diana and her friends. Still, Diana has school spirit, and is bummed to be missing all the festivities for the town's Homecoming game while she's stuck working at the cleaners. But when Diana's co-worker Cat has to help a friend in need, Diana finds herself at the homecoming parade. . . and, against all odds, in a cheerleading costume borrowed from the cleaners! And to her surprise, Diana almost. . . enjoys her disguise! But can she pull off this top-secret pom-pom mission?
Spellbindingby Maya Gold
There's more than one way to be powerful . . . It is during a routine school project that Abby Silva--sixteen and nearly friendless--makes a startling discovery: She is descended from women who were accused of witchcraft back in 1600s Salem. And when Abby visits nearby Salem, strange, inexplicable events start to unfold. Objects move when she wills them to. Candles burst into sudden flame. And an ancient spellbook somehow winds up in her possession. Trying to harness her newfound power, Abby concocts a love potion to win over her longtime crush--and exact revenge upon his cruel, bullying girlfriend. But old magic is not to be trifled with. Soon, Abby is thrust headlong into a world of hexes, secrets, and danger. And then there's Rem Anders, the beautiful, mysterious Salem boy who seems to know more about Abby than he first lets on. A reckoning is coming, and Abby will have to make sense of her history--and her heart--before she can face the powerful truth.

Perry Bennett
Hungry jazz heads owe a debt of gratitude to Perry Bennett, who rocks straight-ahead jazz while serving hot-fudge sundaes at his Pasadena coffee, ice cream and sandwich shop, Perry's Joint, a cultural oasis that happens to sell really big sour pickles. The sandwiches have jazz-inspired names like "Birth of the Corned Beef" and "Tuna by Starlight," and the place has a sense of taste and cool, with Josephine Baker posters, Bal Nègre prints, and album covers from Cab Calloway to Thelonious Monk. Most impressive is a life-size portrait of the king of cool jazz, Miles Davis, watching over the teenagers from John Muir High clamoring to be served after school.
Musical education has fallen off in recent years so I don't expect the kids or most anyone else these days to know the standards playing at Perry's, classics like "Sidewinder," "Song for My Father" and "A Love Supreme." Where, other than Perry's Joint, would they even hear this music, which can nourish spirits and expand minds?
Bennett, who was slinging dogs and sodas even as a kid in Philly in the '70s, relocated with his family to Oakland. His dad opened the Fat Lady in the Fillmore district, back before Frisco gentrified all at once. The Fat Lady was popular with the neighborhood and also those young, problematic knuckleheads who could make life difficult for shop owners. Bennett was usually the one to handle the problem: "Take it down the street," he'd tell them. Hip-hop and rap were the background in Bennett's young life, but after taking courses in jazz theory and history, he suddenly had the passion of a convert. He wanted to share with the world the music he loved — along with a scoop of Rocky Road ice cream.
"Young brothers come in here and at first they might not hear the music, but they feel it. It'll get them," he says. "The photos of these jazz giants will make them think about where they come from and what their people have accomplished."

Hello Followers.
Hope you had a great weekend.
As the header today indicates, Saturday's upcoming contest against ASU appears to represent a season maker or breaker of sorts.
Want to read my early thoughts about our upcoming contest against the Sun Devils? Then read on.
Followers, for the past four weeks, we all have witnessed a really nice upswing in the fortunes of Cougar football. Remember, it was only a month ago when we headed into Los Angeles on the brink of yet another disaster-laden season. If you recall, UCLA had just followed a trouncing of 23rd ranked Houston with a walloping of then 7th ranked Texas. As if that wasn't bad enough, our subsequent opponents were all ranked inside of the top 15 of the country.
Of course, we all know now how that all turned out. We woulda-coulda-shoulda beat UCLA, we were one INT away from being a national upset special against the top ranked team in the country, we hung in against a very good Arizona team, and we totally blew up the Tree's aspirations to re-enter the top 10 this week.
And of course, each week we easily covered the mammoth point spreads that were set by the odds makers. And, in exceeding those expectations, we also managed to have blubberheads like myself spewing superlatives like "we have already shown that we have gone beyond just competing to…."
So, as we move toward this weekend's contest, it seems timely to step back and take a more measured approach to our progress at the same time that we highlight the immense opportunity that ASU presents for us for this season and beyond.
Followers, when I wrote those ridiculous words a week or so ago "we have gone beyond just competing" I obviously got ahead of myself. What I should have said at that time is that "we have finally become competitive." But, even saying that we were "competitive" was a bit of an overstatement. After all, with the notable exception of the UCLA game where we were tied, we never actually had a lead going into the fourth quarter. And, while most of us were understandably excited about the "coulda's" against Oregon and Arizona, what those "coulda's" really meant was that we could have closed within a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
On top of that, it seems important to note that the past few games have been played against teams that did not have key offensive playmakers in the game. For instance, UCLA played without Prince. Oregon played without Thomas for most of the game. Arizona played without Foles and Criner for most of the game. And, Stanford played without Owosu last week–and in spite of that, we never actually challenged the Trees in the second half.
So, while I do not want to dismiss our progress over the past two weeks, it also seems reasonable to question what the past weeks' results would have been had those stars played each game in its entirety?
Fortunately for us, ASU looks to provide another opportunity for us to play against a team with less than a full deck. While there is no word yet on his status, it appears that Threat is going to be out for this Saturday's contest. As a result, it appears that the Big O is going to get the start this Saturday. And, although Mr. Brock has a huge cannon for an arm, he sure is a nice target for any team that can make him hurry his throws. And, the fact that he got beat out by the interception machine is case-in-point of his obvious limitations.
To make matters worse for them, ASU is now at a critical cross-roads. To be sure, the whooping that they experienced last week against CAL could help them circle the wagons in a major way this week–especially if the local media in Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe pegs them to lose to us.
At the same time, with their bowl eligibility hanging squarely in the balance–not to mention Dennis' job security–one has to wonder whether or not these guys will essentially fold if we jump on them early.
And so for me, the fate of this weekend's game appears to hinge on two simple factors:
1) Our ability to win the toss
2) Our ability to win the toss AND score a touch on that first drive.
In short, score early, and grab an early lead, and I think the Devils are likely to fold in this one. And if we do score early, I expect us to win this one comfortably–as in by more than 1 point!
And so, this week figures to be the most important first series game planning that Sturdy et al have undertaken during their entire tenure at WSU. And at the heart of that game planning is an ASU defense that figures to blitz, blitz, blitz, and blitz young Tuel in an effort to thwart our clearly potent vertical passing game.
So, the hot routes, screen routes, and sprint draws appear to be key emphasis areas of practice this week.
Cuz, lets face it folks, if we can manage to pull an upset this week, then the road out of the conference cellar will be paved right in front of us.
But, if we fail to take advantage of this truly unique opp for a win (and MUCH needed confidence), then the progress we have seen over the past two weeks may turn out to be hollowly symbolic, not only for the fans, but also for those young players that still believe that a real breakthrough is in their sights.
The time is now, Cougar Nation. The time to win is RIGHT NOW!!!!!

WITH THE longtime domination of the Broad Street Run by Kenyan athletes, what's left for area runners are top-10 finishes, maybe top fives.
Michael McKeeman, of Ardmore, finished sixth Sunday in the Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run in the highly respectable time of 49 minutes, 40 seconds. He was 2:34 behind winner Henry Rutto.
McKeeman, 35, achieved his goal of finishing as the top American runner.
"I was hoping I'd be the top American and have a top-five overall," McKeeman said. "I was hoping to run a little faster. It was a little humid. On a better day I could've run a little faster."

To the Editor:
I read your Dec. 21 editorial, "The Golden Rule..." with amazement. You state that, "...the role of school is to turn unruly kids into responsible adults." Are you kidding? Isn't that the role of parents?
What influence should a family have on a child? As a teacher I was under the impression that the school system was responsible for teaching academic content.
As a parent I was responsible for the socialization and ethical training of my child. Although the school community may influence a child, my child's behavior is a result of the up bringing I have provided. If a minor is arrested do the police contact the teacher? No, the parent is held responsible.
You state that, "Inculcating civil behavior in the young is the first responsibility of the public schools." Where on your "Responsibility List" does academic acquisition and achievement fall?
To top it off, you make this the responsibility of the public schools, specifically. I could almost understand this statement if you were identifying schools with cultural or religious affiliations.
It is the parents and the family that have the primary influence on a child's behavior.

Rose Claims WGC Title at Doral; Woods Withdraws with Leg Injury
Justin Rose closed with a 2-under 70 to edge 54-hole leader Bubba Watson, totaling 16-under 272 over four rounds to win the WGC-Cadillac Championship. The $8.5 million tournament took place at TPC Blue Monster Doral in Miami, Fla.
Rose had four birdies and a pair of bogeys on a blustery Sunday, while Watson, who began the last day with a three-stroke lead, struggled to a 2-over 74.
The 33-year-old Watson had a chance to force a playoff on the tough par-4 18th. But after hitting a fantastic 190-yard shot from the right rough to the green on the PGA Tour's most difficult hole, he missed a tying 10-foot birdie putt to finish a stroke back.
In winning his fourth career title the 31-year-old Rose took home the Gene Sarazen Trophy, $1.4 million and 550 FedEx Cup points. "Been a lot of hard work with my game, and it showed this week," he said during the trophy presentation.
Rose, who will move up to No. 8 in the latest World Golf Ranking to be released Monday, also tipped his cap to Watson - with whom he played three of the four rounds at Doral, noting, "I'd like to congratulate Bubba for being the face of the tournament this week."
Despite coming up short of his fourth overall victory, Watson, who ended up at 273, said he wasn't nervous but simply wayward off the tee. He hit no fairways on the front nine and found two water hazards, carding four bogeys against one birdie for a 3-over 39, and two birdies and a bogey on the back for his 2-over number.
"It wasn't nerve," Watson explained at greenside. "I just started blocking my tee shots. But I was better on the back nine."
Rory McIlroy made a valiant effort to catch the leaders, following up his 7-under 65 Saturday with a 67 to finish in solo third at 14-under 274. The 22-year-old Northern Irishman carded five birdies, an eagle on the par-5 12th and two bogeys, including one on the last. "It was pretty frustrating," McIlroy said at greenside of his finish. "But I can't complain. I played well over the weekend."
McIlroy cemented his position as the No. 1 player in golf. The 2011 U.S. Open champion, who won last week's Honda Classic, has 11 top-five finishes in his past 12 starts. "I'm in contention a lot," he told reporters later. "It was nice to win last week. It would have been nice to get another one this week. But, you know, it's very positive, putting yourself in contention to win so many times, you can take a lot from it.
"I'll look back on it tomorrow and look back at what a good weekend it was, and at least starting the day, eight shots behind, even to just give myself a chance to win was a pretty good effort. I just couldn't close it out the way I wanted to."
Tied for fourth at 13-under 275 in the tournament, which featured the top-50 players in the world, were reigning Masters' champion Charl Schwarzel (68) of South Africa and Sweden's Peter Hanson (71).
Erstwhile No. 1 Luke Donald carded his second straight 3-under 69 to share sixth at 12-under 276 with Australia's John Senden, who tied Italy's Franceso Molinari for Sunday's low round, a 7-under 65.
Donald, now ranked second behind McIlroy, said later that he could have scored lower but that the putts simply didn't fall. Yet after a slow start to his season, the player who won the money titles on both the PGA and European tours last season was pleased with how his game is rounding into shape. "I really could have got close today if I had holed a few putts," the 34-year-old Englishman said. "I had some chances from 15 feet, that kind of range, and three or four, five of them, really, that I didn't make.
"So yeah, a lot of positives, though. It's been a slow start to the year so it's nice to get back in the mix and obviously did a lot of good things this week. I don't think this is a particularly great course for me, and to come here and have a chance to win is a positive thing."
Americans Bo Van Pelt (69), Steve Stricker (69), Matt Kuchar (72) and Keegan Bradley (75) ended up sharing eighth at 277, while a shot back in a tie for 13th at 279 were Australians Aaron Baddeley (67) and Adam Scott (71), 2010 U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell (70) of Northern Ireland, Molinari and American Johnson Wagner (73).
The shot of the day was made by British player Paul Casey, who aced the 166-yard, par-3 15th with an 8-iron. After the ball rolled into the cup Casey's caddie Craig Connelly screamed with excitement, thinking his player had just won the Cadillac that was perched on a platform behind the tee. There was just one problem: the prize-winning hole was the neighboring 15th.
Casey also thought he was driving away from Doral with a new car, but he later found humor in the situation. "I don't think I've ever not wanted a ball to go in the hole," he told CBS's Eye on Golf. "I never enjoyed not winning a car so much." The ace helped give Casey a 73 and a T-51 finish at even-par 288.
Other notable scores included a 72 by third-ranked Lee Westwood, who finished at 5-under 283. Phil Mickelson, No. 12 in the world, carded his third straight 71 to end up at 3-under 285. And Sergio Garcia continued his erratic play in Miami. After opening with a 75 and a 74, the 32-year-old improved Saturday with a 68. But the Spaniard closed with a 76 to total 5-over 293 and end up tied for 60th in the 74-player field.
Besides the victory by Rose, perhaps the biggest news of the day was Tiger Woods' withdrawal. Woods was 3-over par in the final round, 10 strokes out of the lead, when he left the course after hitting his drive on the 12th. After ripping a 320-yard tee shot down the fairway on the par-5, Woods shook hands with playing partner Webb Simpson, got into a cart and headed for the parking lot.
When a member of the press asked for a comment as he departed, Woods mentioned "left leg injury." In a subsequent statement, Woods noted, "I felt tightness in my left Achilles warming up this morning, and it continued to get progressively worse. After hitting my tee shot at 12, I decided it was necessary to withdraw. In the past, I may have tried to continue to play, but this time, I decided to do what I thought was necessary."
The latest injury casts doubt on Woods' playing in next month's Masters, a major championship he's won four times. He has a history of problems with his left leg. After winning the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, it was revealed that he was suffering from significant knee damage that caused him to miss the remainder of the season.
His withdrawal at Doral was the third time in three years Woods has pulled out of a tournament, all attributed to problems with the leg. In last year's Masters he hurt the same Achilles tendon while hitting a shot on the 17th hole; that injury forced him to miss three months and two majors.

Dickinson Bayou: Implementing a Plan to Protect Recreational Uses
County: Galveston
Parameter: Bacteria
Basin: San Jacinto–Brazos Coastal
Segments: 1103, 1103A, 1103B, 1103C, 1104
- Project Overview
- Background and Goals
- Approved Implementation Plan
- Adopted TMDLs
- Get Involved
- Reports
- For More Information
Background and Goals
See Also:
High concentrations of bacteria measured in Dickinson Bayou Tidal, Segment 1103, and four of its tributaries might pose a health risk for people who swim or wade in the bayou. Bacteria from human and animal waste may indicate the presence of disease-causing microorganisms that may cause illness. Swimming and other forms of recreation in which people come into direct contact with the water are referred to as contact recreation in the state's standards for the quality of streams, lakes, and bays.
The TMDL project will characterize the sources of bacteria in the watershed of the bayou and develop a plan to improve water quality. The goal of the TMDL is to reduce bacteria concentrations to within acceptable risk levels for contact recreation.
Approved Implementation Plan
The commission approved this stakeholder-developed plan on January 15, 2014.
- Implementation Plan for Eight Total Maximum Daily Loads for Bacteria in Dickinson Bayou
- Response to Public Comment on the I-Plan
Adopted Total Maximum Daily Loads
On February 8, 2012, the commission adopted:
- Eight Total Maximum Daily Loads for Indicator Bacteria in Dickinson Bayou and Three Tidal Tributaries
On June 6, 2012, the EPA approved the TMDLs, at which time they became part of the state's Water Quality Management Plan. Learn more about the Water Quality Management Plan.
Updates are made to account for changing conditions in the watershed, such as new or revised wasteload allocations, permits that have been canceled or have expired, or changed facility names. Updates are made via the state's Water Quality Management Plan.
- April 2016, Appendix IV, pages 15-16
Get Involved
Stakeholders in the watershed have formed the Dickinson Bayou Watershed Partnership to implement activities that improve water quality in Dickinson Bayou. Meeting information and records are available on the Partnership's website . The TCEQ is working with this existing forum to participate with the public in developing and implementing the TMDL project. Other partners include the Houston-Galveston Area Council, the Galveston Bay Estuary Program, and the Texas Cooperative Extension.

I think it could disturb your sleep cycles, probably by waking you fully when you stir in your light sleep. So eyes, I'm tipping. Wear an eye mask? Works wonders for me.
I think it could disturb your sleep cycles, probably by waking you fully when you stir in your light sleep. So eyes, I'm tipping. Wear an eye mask? Works wonders for me.
Yes, definitely eyes. next chance you get, look closely at someone's eyes while they're closed. Many people's eyes don't exactly "seal" shut, you can see the whites, so moving about may cause light to filter in and cause restless sleep. I am one of those people and have to put a sheet over the lights on my air conditioner because, to me, they light up the room.
Depression Lies
So it seems it's not just your eyes.
I did hear one of the authors of that book speaking on the radio more recently, however, and she said that women function best when they get the appropriate dose of moonlight as the moon waxes and wanes. (But that's irrelevant to men.) I don't know what proof she has of that, but I'd not be surprised.
I guess closest to nature, and probably best, would be a bedroom in which all artificial lights (including clock and radio dials, etc.) are doused and into which streetlamps (and other forms of light pollution) don't leak but which the moon can get into. (The moon is, obviously, a far less intense light-source (being farther away) and is also cyclic, not at the same fixed intensity every night.)
In practice, that can only happen these days in right out in the country. If you're in town the best solution is probably to make your bedroom just as light-proof as you possibly can. If that means having shutters made, or taking Heath Robinson-like manoeuvres such as clipping the end of the curtain to the windowsill and draping towels over the top bit where the light comes through, it might be worth it. Most people who take at least some steps towards darkening their sleeping room report longer and much-improved sleep.
It's definitely not just your eyes. All of your skin has photosensitive pigments that react to light levels and help regulate circadian rhythms. Eyes are probably the most important, but the other ones can matter too.
On the other side of the coin, if your room is still dark even after the sun comes up because you have blackout curtains, how does that not cause the opposite problem, of not being woken up naturally?
I am in the early stages of inventing an automatic system that is programmed to sync to internet time, can calculate sunrise/sunset time for my house's coordinates, and will open/close the curtains accordingly (and silently, so I am not awakened by the sound of the curtains moving instead of the sunlight), but that will take me a while to finish since I have other projects and a job to take up my time. And it needs to be pretty cheap if I want to apply it to all of the windows in the house eventually.
How did Grok sleep? Did he sleep in caves or holes? They had moonlight back then.
Also, slight side note - don't turn on lights if you get up to use the restroom, etc, in the middle of the night. Sudden strong lights affect your skin severely because - like your eyes - your skin is used to the darkness. Source: I read something about blah-blah-cancer-risk-blah-blah somewhere a while ago.
Yes, but the moon does wax and wane—it's not constant as streetlights are.
Caves? People sometimes used the front parts of caves or camped under overhanging rocks—rock shelters might be a better term than caves. They probably didn't often go deep into caves unless they had a special reason for doing so—such as painting rock art, which they often chose to do in near inaccessible places. These were perhaps intentionally womb-like, or perhaps just deep enough to be somewhere specially set-aside, or perhaps somewhere somewhat disorientating (through sense-deprivation).
In any event, it would be wrong to think of people living in a cave permanently in the way modern humans might live in a house. For a start, they might need to follow migrating game animals. You have to think of hunter-gatherers as being at least sometimes on the move—or at any rate as moving between favoured camping-sites on a seasonal basis, here for the shellfish, there for the fruit when it ripens, and so on.
People likely often used temporary shelters as hunter-gatherers in recent times do. Compare an Apache wikiup:
wikiup - Google Search
Such dwellings wouldn't be light-tight, and besides people might have kept fires going—for warmth or to scare off animals, and so on. However, it would have been very much darker than it is in town these days. I can recall spilling out of the pub at closing time when living in the country and having trouble seeing where I was going. Your eyes adapt gradually, although it takes about 30 to 40 minutes, but it's so much darker than in town. Where there are no streetlights the difference is striking.
I understand that there are a few astronomical observatories that are no longer of much use, because they're too near towns. Now that's light-pollution. These days they tend to site them well away from built-up areas.
One has to bear in mind that artificial lighting is so bright and so round-the-clock that it can actually be seen from space. This was a point made by U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in 2002. He pointed out that South Korea's lights (and pretty much everyone else's) can be seen from space, but that North Korea is dark because, despite it's having the bomb, they're living in poverty, and showed a striking image.
North Korea is Dark
At least people in North Korea even if they have to live under the heel of a mad dictator probably get a good night's sleep!
Fun fact: Pluto was discovered at Lowell Observatory. Slightly less fun since Pluto has been downgraded from planetary status, but there you go.

Under his new venture, www.thedbguru.com, Perry is collaborating with former Oakland Raider George Atkinson's Diverse Sports in developing, training, and promoting the top high school prospects in California.
On Sunday, the venture started with a bang.
Perry and Atkinson joked that a friendly conversation late last week spurred Sunday's last minute workout. Despite the short timeframe, nearly 40 prospects turned out with about half coming from the North Valley and Bay Area.
From 2010 Fresno State signee Marcus McDade to 2011 four-star blue chip recruit George Atkinson to 2012 top quarterback prospect Mike Baker, nearly every level high school prospect was represented. The number of athletes would have broken 40 but 2010 signees Jalen Saunders (Fresno State) and Josh Harper (Fresno State) among others did not attend at the last minute. As well, 2011 standout Kendall Brock had to watch from sidelines with a tweaked hamstring.
Top Performers
It's hard not to be impressed with George Atkinson. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound athlete can play multiple positions from running back, wide receiver, safety, and possibly cornerback. On Sunday, he worked out strictly at receiver making defenders look silly. He runs smooth, precise routes with superb speed; he leads California with a state-best 10.61 100m.
He currently has 16 scholarship offers his latest ones coming from USC and Syracuse.
Not to be outdone, his twin brother Josh Atkinson is one of the Golden State's top cornerback prospects. With seven offers in his pocket, the 6-foot-1 cover man locked down just about every receiver he faced. He has good feet, hips, and excellent speed. He now shares the state's fastest man honor with his brother after clocking a 10.61 100m last Saturday.
Castro Valley (Calif.) cornerback/wide receiver Giles Chapman is extremely quick zipping through DB drills faster than anyone did on Sunday. His feet are quick, his hips are smooth, but he does lack size. At 5-foot-8 and 160-pounds, he had trouble locking up against bigger receivers. Nonetheless, he is physical and has very good ball skills. He currently has three verbal offers from Illinois, Mississippi, and Rice.
Fresno Central cornerback Tee Shepard is Tony Perry's next great high school cornerback. In his last year (2007-08) at Fresno Edison, Perry sent five-star U.S. Army All-American cornerback Robert Golden to Arizona and groomed junior Cliff Harris, who signed with Oregon in 2009. But Perry says Shepard has chance to be better than both were in high school.
Shepard is already bigger standing nearly 6'1 as he finishes his sophomore year. While he needs to work on his stance, his footwork is unquestionably good. He matches well with big receivers yet has the wheels to keep up with speedsters.
Working out mostly at receiver, Lodi (Calif.) running back Jordan Perkins blew past defensive backs in 1on1's. Skill wise, he has good hands and runs decent routes. But his future is at running back, where he will play at Stanford after verbally committing to the Cardinal earlier this spring.
Stockton (Calif.) St. Mary's Marcus McDade was one of the few seniors working out. He signed with Fresno State in February. He has added some bulk since last year. He's 6-foot-3, 200 pounds with a cannon for an arm. We've yet to see a stronger arm on any prep quarterback in the last 15 months.
The future elite signal caller in California is arguably Fresno Central's Mike Baker.
The 2012 quarterback prospect is an accurate passer, but his greatest attribute is his ability to throw a catchable ball.
When in comes to the eyeball test, Clovis (Calif.) East safety Jerry Haymon is hard to miss. The 6-foot, 200-pounder can bench press 400 pounds and last month benched 185 pounds a remarkable 28 times at the Under Armour Combine in Los Angeles. However, in 1on1's, he relies too much on his physical play rather than his cover skills. His footwork needs work, but he has great recovery speed.
Fresno (Calif.) Clovis West linebacker Josh Lang worked out with the defensive backs on Sunday. Instead of covering running backs and tight ends, the 6-foot-1, 215-pound sophomore held his own covering receivers in 1on1's. He has nice feet and hips for a future college MIKE backer. He reminds us of his predecessor at CW, 2009 Scout 300 member Travis Brown.

Skip to comments.Let's put this to bed. We have bigger fish to fry.
Posted on 04/27/2012 4:56:50 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Everyone please send whatever you are able to, whether it is $10, $100 or $1,000+. The DUmmies, Morons, Kos Kiddies and that crew are laughing up their sleeves. Jim may have to make this site members only or allow ads. Better for us to just help with what we can. Maybe you can donate as a memorial for a lost loved one, a servicemember who never made it home or was disabled defending our country. Perhaps you'd like to give to keep free discussion alive and to show them that we're not knuckling under. I'm sure a well thought out or prayerful meditation will lead you to see the need and how you can help. If every registered FReeper and our lurkers would each just help out with a fin or a sawbuck, or better yet a Ben Franklin, we could put this to bed and get on with the conservative cause.
Thanks for the thread, Dood!
You may have already noticed that the "rebellion" is right here on your site and a huge number of freepers are rebelling against the insane idea that supporting Romney to defeat Obama is against "Conservatism". There no one worse than Obama and you know this very well, there is no one even close to him in term of how bad he is, including Romney.
Thank you.
And drop the insults. I'm not impressed and will simply quit responding.
>>I live in Florida. It's a little more complicated for those of us living in swing states.
And if we write-in the FR-approved candidate in Florida and Obama wins, then the next day, we'll be reading "Floriduh" posts because WE "re-elected" Obama. Florida and the other swing states need to be strict ABO states or we can kiss freedom goodbye because we'll be showing our papers to people in blue berets by 2016 if Obama wins.
So you're using Dan Rahter's logic on Bush's service? This report may not be true, but I believe the story is. I just dont have evidence. CONSPIRACIES FOR EVERYONE!!!
Ya got a big heart, Gunner.

Thank you all very much!!!!!!!
You left FR long ago.
You accused me of challenging Jim Robinson's principles. I challenged you to point out where I had done that.
One may rationally, logically and morally disagree with an opinion and with a strategy. Those disagreements do not go to principles.
For the third time I ask you to show where I opposed the PRINCIPLES that the site espouses.
Or perhaps you could tell me what those principles are. I thought I knew. Maybe I don't
So he left Bain in 99? Really?
Post 161 with links Bain SEC filings

Mitt Romney; 16,645 shares held by BCIP Associates II-B, a Delaware general partnership of which the managing general partner is Bain Capital, Inc., which is wholly owned by W. Mitt Romney;
Romney marks the end of the GOP as a conservative force. Or, more truthfully, drops the pretense of it ever being a conservative force.
I absolutely will not vote FOR an abortionist, homosexualist, gun-grabbing, mandate loving, big government statist from EITHER party.
And I shouldn't have to explain that any further.
Who said they disagree with what the site stands for? You seem to think that anyone who will vote for Mitt must also be against everything on the front page. That is simply not true.
I love me a conspiracy.
Primaries are always bloodfests on FR. Probably always will be. People get passionate about politics.
You were persecuted daily for years on this forum for your Palin support? How is a large group of posters pinging each other and posting the picture of you and Palin while saying 'this is Palin Country'- you being persecuted? Pardon me but did you not realize your forum persecuted Perry,Bachmann and Santorum.I am here to attest to you (just in case you missed this) That is was Parry,Bachmann and Santorum that were persecuted on this forum.We lost a chance at a good conservative all under the guise of Palin running.Primaries are ugly but 'this was Palin Country', is not persecuting you.
I did not. YOU challenged a post that I made to someone else.
You have lied and are simply looking for a fight. We are done.
Standing with ya. Just added a little to the pot.
You're spinning. Doesn't work on me.
You are really good at making things up just because you want them to be. I never said he left in 99 or 00 (seems like a splitting of hairs, an argument you said previously you dont like). But was he there when they bought the land? You just speculated that he might have been because you dont trust him. You are no different than Dan Rather.
What a sad thead.
However, there have been many times where both (all) candidates for a particular office were so odious that I could not, in good conscience, vote for any of them.
In those instances, I left that line on the ballot blank.
I will continue that practice.
But my disagreement with your opinion of what to do with your vote is a separate matter from disagreeing with principles as laid down on the home page.
I don'et see why that is so difficult to understand.
Some wounds don't heal. Words, whether written or spoken are powerful things.
Once spoken you cannot take them back. My Mom used a fence analogy. Everytime you speak a word in anger its like putting a nail in a fence. You can pull the nail out but the hole is still there.
I do too. I just know the NFL made the Cowboys suck this year so they couldnt win the Super Bowl. I heard about it through my foil-radio. But it kept breaking up because the black helicopters from Bildeberger were flying over head.
Things are not as you say. It didn't go down that way. But it's fun to vent, isn't it.
You quit?
I win.
The dissatisfaction has been building up for me for a long time. That is why I lurked, and stopped donating. This thread shows me that I am not the only one.
Now people are expressing how they feel.
I am not sure that they are listening.
In what way? Your heavy on accusations and light on facts, just like Rather. Are you really him?
Well, I've explained it a million times. We are rebelling against the politics as usual GOP-e who have now gone a RINO too far. In case you have forgotten, Romney is the proud father of RomneyCare and grandfather of ObamaCare which is his illegitimate brain child. Besides being an abortion/gay rights advocate, he's a big government mandate loving statist who has pushed every evil, anti-liberty position that Obama has pushed. Their records are virtually identical.
The tea party sprang up to rebel against such tyranny and I signed on for the duration. Doesn't matter to me if the tyranny comes from the dems or the GOP, it's still tyranny.
Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.
We are the resistance!!
More like 99%, I'd guess.
I've kept my peace regarding the primary this time around because my opinions weren't welcome. I like Newt but I had serious doubts about his ability to be nominated, and if nominated his ability to beat Obama. I figured expressing doubts about Newt wouldn't be prudent, and besides, I didn't oppose him, and who knew? Maybe he had a shot. One could hope, anyway. But that's water under the bridge.
During the primary conservative supporters of Newt and Santorum were a large contingent, and once it was down to the final four Newt and Rick were absolutely the last conservatives standing.
But now the primary is all but over. No question, anyone who supports Newt or Rick who can vote for them in the remaining primaries (assuming they are still on the ballot) should do so. That is a message worth sending to the RINOs.
But in the general election it's ABO, and the only ABO candidate who can beat O is Mitt. From this and other threads it looks like even here most people share this viewpoint.
But where does that leave FR? Most conservatives desperately want to be rid of Obama and all his evil cronies. It's not about whether Romney is conservative, no one really believes that, it's whether he's as bad as Obama.
I don't think he is. So you can deduce my vote from that.
It's hard to see how FR survives if any support for the only available choice that can beat Obama results in removal.
If nothing changes it's going to be really lonely around here on election day.
I can't believe that you said that.
We are done.
Keep telling yourself that principles matter over anything. Principles are important, but if you don't win elections, your principles and $1 will buy you a burger at McDonald's.
People who are just as conservative as anyone else are being driven off. Their only offense is that they believe that it is better to have someone who agrees with us 60, 70, or 80% of the time than to have someone like Obama.
Is Mitt the one I wanted? No. I wanted Palin. She didn't run. Then I wanted Bachmann, then Cain, finally I voted for Santorum. They're gone. Romney is the nominee and FR is attacking him harder than DU ever has.
You lied. I wouldn't brag about it.
I can. This isn't about truth.
How do you interpret "Not going to vote for Romney or Obama" as an attack on Romney? The attacks I've seen are mostly against FReepers who are making a moral stand to vote their consciences and not the party line.
They do. Because if one has no principles, one has nothing.
If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.
Debs! You are not alone. There are others who believe in the Build-a-Burgers and other such subversive plots which are all around us! /s
Bump that.
Exactly. Let the Californians and New Yorkers take a principled stand against the GOP-e. They can thank us later in their hearts while still maintaining their dignity. Those of us in the swing states will hold our noses and do the dirty work.
Very well said. The hyenas have fed on the healthy. Now there is bewilderment as to what has happened.
Well I guess you'll have to spell it out for me, because I have no idea what your beef is about.
As I have said on our front page and elsewhere many many times, I am pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-Declaration, pro-sovereignty, pro-defense and pro-traditional American conservatism. Statist Romney departs from every one of the above principles. And when the GOP departs from them (which they have by lying and shilling for Romney) then they have left me. It should be no mystery.
Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.
We are the resistance!!
Vote straight conservative!!
I liked Perry. I wish he were still in it.
But HOW THE HELL do you figure internecine squabbles HERE affected votes?
What percentage of vote failure for any of those folks do you attribute to Free Republic?
Hey, I got my butt hurt over supporting Perry.
I almost got the ZOT over disliking Palin. Bachmann and Santorum I never gave much thought to.
How do you figure trends HERE on FR.. which I'd LOVE to see you
graph out.. affected where we find ourselves today? How exactly?
Draw that conclusion with a few facts, please do.
Otherwise, you're just another sucker whining because you didn't get your way.
Got news, bud. It ain't gone ANY of our way. Suck it up.
Actually, a poster said he quit in 1999 (not a Romney statement) and all you did is prove that the SEC filings in Feb 2000 had his name on it, which I would expect if he was there in 1999. All you proved is that a freeper may have had bad dates, but nothing about a Romney lie. Again, Rather style tactics.
And this is the 2nd time you said you were done with me on this thread. I'm beginning to think that is your standard line when you really dont have facts to back your argument.
Is this a good time to post the eggs benedict pic?

Corbett says Dem candidates should offer more details
As Gov. Tom Corbett sees it, the field of Democrats vying to be the party's gubernatorial nominee should say they'd be more than the anti-incumbent.
Corbett talked about his re-election bid at Harbor Creek Senior High School moments after presenting three elementary schools in the district with the Governor's Award for Excellence in Academics.
The Republican governor was asked to respond to Democratic Party committee members' inability to reach agreement on a party-endorsed candidate at their winter meeting over the weekend in Hershey, though state Treasurer Rob McCord came away with the most votes among the five who received them.
"It just opens it up. And it's an open race to begin with," Corbett said, referring to the May 20 primary.
Corbett said he's heard and watched some of the candidates debate, but asked: "OK, they all think that they can do a better job than me. Fine. What are you going to do? I have yet to hear any of them say exactly what they're going to do. They haven't distinguished themselves, one from the other."
He added: "Give ... a little more detail than just, you know, I'm going to do opposite of the governor."
Democrats have criticized Corbett on a number of fronts, including the state's record of job creation under his watch -- though the governor has touted the number of new private sector jobs -- and his overall record on education funding.
Corbett has proposed a 2014-15 budget that includes more than $300 million in new education spending, though it also keeps basic education funding flat at $5.53 billion and funding for most higher education institutions the same.
"So it's easy enough to take shots at me. What makes them qualified is that they're going to do something different than where we're going? Because I think Pennsylvania is moving, and moving forward," he said.
But only one in four, or 23 percent, believe Corbett has done well enough to deserve a second term, according to the most recent Franklin & Marshall College poll.
Asked about his still-low polling numbers, Corbett said, "My story hasn't gotten out yet. It will. In November, that's the poll, OK?''

Cowlishaw: Will Mavericks force Game 7? Here's how I'm leaning ...
Columnist Tim Cowlishaw answered questions in a chat Thursday. Here are some highlights.
Question: Does Blair's return help with the pick and roll defense? Isn't that basketball 101, you either stick with your man by fighting through the pick or you switch.
Tim Cowlishaw: Well, Blair's part would be the second part, guarding the guy setting the screen and how you jump out and stop the man with the ball. I thought Dirk was bad at that last night, and Wright had real problems. They seem confused which, five games into a series, doesn't make a lot of sense. Ginobili has killed them with it much of the series and Parker got going a bit last night. Blair helps in defending Duncan and in getting on the boards. Just having him should be a little lift, you are correct.
Question: While I understand the fascination with Deng, why not also look at Greg Monroe. He's a double double machine and Detroit can't max out three frontcourt players without a dynamic backcourt player on their roster. Gortat and Deng could put a bandaid on the Mavs shortcomings, but Monroe could be great now and later. The Mavs might have enough for a player like Loul Deng, Trevor Ariza, Paul Pierce, Lance Stephenson, Danny Granger, or Marvin Williams could help fill out the lineup.
Tim Cowlishaw: Monroe is an interesting thought, I watch about as many Pistons games these days as the next guy (which means none) but I know he's a solid player. I don't know. I don't really think much about free agency and moves for 2015 in the middle of an entertaining playoff series.
Question: Will the Mavs make it a game 7? Our history is not that good in home game 6's
Tim Cowlishaw: I would lean towards yes. These games are all too close to say the Spurs have any kind of momentum. Actually, Dallas may have a little if the second half is an indication that Dirk has figured out where he has to go out on the wing to get some shots against Splitter he can hit. I would suspect Game 6 will look a lot like all the rest. Someone will hit big shots down the stretch, no reason it can't be Ellis and Carter and Nowitzki. I don't think the franchise history in Game 6s at home means anything.
