"Between heresy and schism there is this difference, that heresy perverts dogma, while schism, by rebellion against the bishop, separates from the Church. Nevertheless there is no schism which does not trump up a heresy to justify its departure from the Church."
~ St. Jerome, (In Ep. ad Tit., iii, 10), remarking on how practically and historically, heresy and schism nearly always go hand in hand.

IKEA in talks with authorities to find location for stores
The company, which has set up a new product development centre in India, also said it is primarily focusing on textiles to enable development on the factory floor and optimise production, while also exploring other materials like wood, metal, plastic and lighting.
"In India, we are currently defining the entry plan for IKEA. Talks have begun with authorities and representatives in the main cities to get a better understanding of the states and also share IKEA's business model and needs," IKEA said in a statement.
Elaborating on its strategy, the company said: "The most important priority is to find the right location for our stores at the right price in major cities, with easy access to public transport (metro) and good road network."
It, however, did not specify the cities which the company is exploring at the moment.
In August, IKEA CEO Mikael Ohlsson had informed Union Minister for Commerce & Industry Anand Sharma that the Swedish furniture major has identified four states -- Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka -- to set up its stores.
On product development in India, IKEA said it will extend from textiles to other items.
"With primary focus on textiles, we will also explore other materials such as wood, metal, plastic, lighting," it said.
IKEA said it has been sourcing from India for more than 25 years.
"We are focused on finding suppliers with the right competence and strategic fit, at the same time developing and growing existing suppliers," IKEA said.
The government on May 2, 2013 approved IKEA's Rs 10,500 crore proposal for setting up home furnishing stores in the country.
As on date, the Swedish retail major's investment is the largest in the single-brand segment ever since the government allowed 100 per cent foreign investment in this sector last year.
The firm had proposed setting up 10 furnishing and homeware stores as well as allied infrastructure in over 10 years in India. Subsequently, it plans to open 15 more stores.
The government had allowed IKEA to run cafes and restaurants within its single brand stores in India, but it cannot sell packed food items. It can sell food and beverages at its restaurants or cafes located within its stores.

Potholes. They're a part of our roads and they damage our cars. In the past three years, the city has paid more than $20,000 in vehicle damage claims because of road conditions.
Now, Honolulu has come up with a new solution to the problem.
Oahu's road maintenance is going high tech. The city unveiled a cutting edge data collection technology that slashes the time it takes to survey roads and save money for taxpayers as well.
Drivers across Oahu will soon see the new vehicle on the road. It's a part of the city's new federally-funded pavement management system. High resolution cameras mounted on the car capture panoramic imagery of the road.
"We can capture at speed limit speeds," said Dennis Hirota, of Sam O. Hirota, Inc. "If we're on the highway, we can be driving 50 mph and still capture the image."
The data collection system is equipped with Earthmine technology, which snaps 3-D street level shots. The current road survey process takes two years where data is handwritten and requires four crew members. This new high tech version takes less than a month.
All you need to operate the camera vehicle is a single driver. The only time the driver will need to operate the laptop is to start the process and to finish it.
Department of Facility Maintenance Director Westley Chun said the snapshots will help officials identify and track road conditions, including potholes.
"It won't just be based on complaints. It won't be based on subjective observations," said Chun. "It's a scientific-based method that we'll be using."
Earthmine officials said the camera is built to last.
"This particular camera has 20 million actuations. This thing can go day and night for five years without failing," said Hirota.
The system is one of 12 around the world. Australia, Oakland and San Diego, Calif. are also using the system to maintain roads.

Contents of the Water and Sewer Plan
The Water and Sewer Plan is a functional master plan for providing water and sewer services throughout Montgomery County. As such, it provides an important link between the County's land use and development planning and the actual construction of the water supply and sewerage systems needed to implement that planning effort.
The Water and Sewer Plan establishes policies that support the goals and objectives of the County's General Plan, On Wedges and Corridors, and its related local area sector and master plans. These policies emphasize:
The use of public water and sewerage systems along higher-density urban and suburban development areas
The use of individual, on-site wells, and septic systems throughout lower-density suburban, rural, and agricultural areas
The plan's policies are implemented in part by assigning water and sewer service area categories for all properties within the County. The service area categories:
Designate whether properties are intended to be developed using (and are eligible for) public or private service
Provide staging elements or a sequence for planning and providing public service
What is Included?
The land use planning process depends in part on the service policies in the Water and Sewer Plan. These policies provide guidance that helps in establishing a master plan's recommendations for the type and density of development proposed in each community.
The plan provides information on the County's existing water supply and sewerage systems from beginning to end. It includes everything from the point where raw water is drawn from a surface water body or groundwater supply, through delivery and use by the consumer, to the final treatment and disposal or reuse of wastewater effluent.
The plan provides projections for the future needs of water and sewerage systems, which result from land use planning studies, demographic projections, legal mandates, and policy requirements. It addresses these needs using a variety of approaches, such as:
New, expanded, or replacement water and sewer facilities, such as transmission mains, pumping stations, storage tanks, or treatment plants
Expansion of existing water or sewerage systems, or the use of alternative systems, to address communities experiencing public health problems from failing wells or septic systems
New or updated programs and service policies that address issues like changes in sanitary service technology, support for new development concepts and protection from undesired sanitary system expansion or on-site system use.
Read the County Water and Sewer Plan
The content of the Ten-Year Comprehensive Water Supply and Sewerage Systems Plan, which is specified by state laws and regulations, is as follows:
Introduction (PDF, 14.1MB)
Chapter 1: Objectives and Policies (PDF, 15.4MB) provides the legal requirements for the plan; the County's overall objectives for water and sewer service; the policies addressing the provision of water and sewer service by both public systems and private on-site systems; and the procedures and organizational roles through which the County and state adopt, amend, and administer the plan. View Chapter 1 below.
Chapter 2: General Background (PDF, 29MB) provides background information on Montgomery County's natural and man-made environment relevant to the provision of water and sewer service by both public and individual systems.
Chapter 3: Water Supply Systems (PDF, 34.1MB) provides information on the County's existing water supply systems and on planning efforts to ensure that the County's mid- and long-term water supply needs will be satisfied in a manner consistent with public policy and the plan's objectives. Regional planning issues, as they relate to the County, are also addressed.
Chapter 4: Sewerage Systems provides information on the County's existing sewerage systems and on planning efforts to ensure that the County's mid- and long-term sewerage needs are and will be satisfied in a manner consistent with public policy and the plan's objectives. Regional planning issues, as they relate to the County, are also addressed. Chapter 4 is provided in three separate download documents:
Chapter 4, Part 1 (PDF, 14.1MB)
Chapter 4, Part 2 (PDF, 32.5MB)
Chapter 4, Part 3 (PDF, 16.8MB)
Appendix A (PDF, 6.7MB)
Appendices B-D (PDF, 3.6MB)
Council Resolution (PDF, 1.1MB)
Water Categories Map (PDF, 2.3MB)
Sewer Categories Map (PDF, 2.2MB)
Water and Sewer Service Area Category Maps provide the service area category designations established in the plan for each property in the County.

I remember a bit of "sprezzatura" in the Disney production of Peter Pan, in which Captain Hook (a cartoon copy of Basil Rathbone) lights a cigarette with left hand while nonchalanontly fencing with an opponent he isn't even looking at .

My mum always said that the best way to get a new word into your vocabulary was to use it.
A performance sublime
That's sprezzatura
The best after that
Is only bravura.
Case in point:
Secretariat in the Belmont, 1973.
Who remembers any Triple Crown winner since?
Other Sprezzaturissimo Moments?
Miracle on Ice
Nadia's perfect "10"
Simply sprezz!

The epitome of studied casualness; the absolute icon of Sprezzatura - James Bond! No!?
Am also thinking....women down the ages have always had this quality haven't they? Somehow, they always exuded a certain strength, confidence, vim; were the bulwarks of their families, managed SO many things in a day, children, homes, finances, social relationships, food, farms and still made it all look so effortless. ....distinct and definite erosion of sprezzatura methinks; at least certainly at this end; one job seems too much at times
And now...I shall await the brickbats that are certain to come

the bulwarks of their families
You can still find those "bulwarks" in Third World countries, but there isn't much sprezz in their existence.
P.S. What is your historical reference anyway? Vivian Leigh in "Gone with the Wind"?

Third World-ian isn't "a race", Maahey. It's a condition. A truly unfortunate condition.
Fortunately, you escaped it.

text: The 40 Best Amazon Fire Tablet Apps Click To View Slideshow» With a huge and ever-growing list of apps available for your Amazon tablet, how do you know which ones to download? Our list can help. Since the first Kindle Fire's debut, the number of high-quality apps for Amazon Fire tablets has grown dramatically. Whether you have a newer Amazon Fire HDX , or a slightly older Kindle Fire, Amazon's tablet is only as useful as the apps you put on it. This list of the 40 best Amazon Fire apps aims to help you see all the possible uses for your tablet, from entertainment to productivity. Some of the apps that made this list focus on collaboration and task-management, while others are designed for consuming videos, books, music, and other media. Some apps are great for the whole family, and others, such as those for taking private notes or accessing personal documents, you might want to keep as your own little secret. Missing from this list are apps that come pre-installed on the Amazon Fire, which include Pulse, Audible, IMDb, Quickoffice, Facebook, and a few others. Many of these apps are indispensable, but, seeing as you already have them, there's no need to mention them. Here are 40 of the best apps available for the Kindle Fire, and Amazon Fire HD and HDX. Note that in testing and verifying these apps, I used an Amazon Fire HDX (which is a marked improvement over the original Kindle Fire, I might add). Your experience may vary depending on your device. If you know of a great app that isn't on this list, please mention it in the comments, and I'll consider including it in a future update to this article. Click To View Slideshow »

DS will be a year old on the 10th ( ), and while he likes a wide variety of solids (everything from poblano peppers, to bratwurst, to cantelope), he only gets food whenever we eat. Occasionally I'll eat a midafternoon snack, and he'll get some of whatever I'm eating then. But should I be giving him a midafternoon snack regularly?
Question which just popped into my head and is only tangentally related to snacking... When can I start offering raw veggies (carrot sticks, etc)?

Thank you so much to all my readers for getting me to #21 on the Latest Leaders list this week! I moved up ten spaces, so I am very excited. This week, in the tradition started by Jimmy, I dedicate my ranking to #21, the Padres' new closer, Heath Justin Bell.
Heath was born in and grew up in California. He signed with the New York Mets in 1998 as an undrafted free agent. He was in the Mets' minor league system for eight seasons. He actually made his major league debut against the Padres, throwing two scoreless innings with three strikeouts. He went the next two seasons going back and forth between Triple-A and the major league club.
In 2006, he was finally traded to the San Diego Padres with Royce Ring for Ben Johnson and Jon Adkins. He never really got a chance with the Mets, so it was great that he got traded to the Padres. Once he was there, he got the 8th inning role as set-up man to Trevor Hoffman. In 2007, he pitched in 81 games and had 102 strikeouts. In 2008 he pitched in 74 games and had 71 strikeouts. He's pitched a lot for the Padres!
Now he is taking the place of Trevor Hoffman in the closer's role. Heath only has two major league saves, but he saved 108 games in the minors. He's been in that closer's role before, but closing the the minors is a lot different that closing in the majors. He knows that.
Heath is quite the character. He has said that he doesn't like to talk to guys on the other team because he wants them to think that he's slightly crazy. He's like a kid, you know. But he's very serious about his work, and working out and stuff. Over the offseason he lost 25 pounds by playing Wii Fit. He's just really funny, in his quotes and his interviews. It will be very interesting to see how he handles the role of a closer, dealing with the failures and the press. He's an intense guy, and he's going to bring that out to the mound. Though I miss Trevor a lot, I can't wait to see how Heath does this year. It will be a learning experience, but I think he will do very well.
Thank you again, so much, to all my readers. I've said this before, but it's so true: without you guys, there is no purpose to this blog. So, thank you so much for reading and getting me to #21. It really means a lot to me. You guys are amazing! Thanks!

Bell is a good safeguard the Padres. He has always been closer material, he was just playing behind another great closer. Way to go with 21!
Do you think you could feel about Heath the way you did about Trevor? Maybe just a little? If he's successful in the closer's role?
HOMER, I hope he does very well! Thanks!
JANE, I really don't think so, at least not for a few years. Heath's biggest challenge is going to be winning over the fans, and though I will definitely be supporting him this season, I don't think he will be a favorite like Trevor was. Besides, Trevor will be back next year, and then Heath can really settle into his role in 2011🙂
Congrats Kaybee! Great dedication blog and I LOVE the picture on the bike!
Congrats on being #21!!
It should be noted that Heath Bell is good to ballhawks, too!!
Congratulations on your ranking!! Great dedication to Heath Bell! Is he on Team USA?
Congrats! (again) Great, great dedication to our new closer!! Keep it up. And I need to do that as well.
JENN, thanks so much!
JULIA, thank you and I do too!
HAPPY, yeah, I'm sure he is! Thanks!
ELIZABETH, Thanks! And yes, Heath's on Team USA.
HYUN YOUNG, well thank you (again)! Thanks!
Hey, Kaybee …
"Congratulations" on your #21 ranking on the latest "Leader's List" … Little by little you are moving up the list — way to go !!! … Keep up the great work on your blog !!!
Nice dedication in honor of Heath Bell !!! … I was very impressed with his recent performance in the WBC, striking out the side in his one inning of work for Team USA in their 6-5 victory over Team Canada !!! … It was only a WBC game, but Bell looked in mid-season form in that game !!! … Also, thanks for featuring my name on your above dedicaion post !!!
Take care, Kaybee !!!
— Jimmy [27NYY], "BY&L"
Congrats on #21! Heath is an awesome person on and off the field. I love that picture on the bike. He is my favorite reliever on the San Diego Padres!!

|View and Wrong View
Our minds can be wonderful, but at the same time they can be our worst enemy.
In this article especially written for Rigpa's VIEW magazine, Sogyal Rinpoche shows us how to understand doubt and suspicion and recognize wrong views.
What do you have to fear from the wild elephant
Using our intelligence, then, we fortify our wrong view and construct around us a carefully tended, impregnable defence system. Once we have doubts, then everywhere we find allies to help us doubt. We raise a protective dome of doubt about us, which must at all costs be tight and seamless, with no fatal cracks to let understanding filter through.

Theme Sessions
- T1. Snoke Session 1: The Eclectic Tectonic Legacy of Arthur W. SnokeMetamorphic Core Complexes at Age 35.
Allen McGrew, Univ. of Dayton; Josh Schwartz, California State Univ. Northridge; Phyllis Camilleri, Austin Peay Univ.; Walter A. Sullivan, Colby College; Thomas Kalakay, Rocky Mountain College; Cal Barnes, Texas Tech Univ.. This session is associated with Field Trip 7.
- The term "Cordilleran metamorphic core complex" entered the tectonic lexicon with Peter Coneys coinage of the phrase 35 years ago, and soon thereafter captured widespread attention at the first Metamorphic Core Complex Penrose Conference. Art Snoke was an active participant at that conference and has played a key role in exploring the tectonic significance of these important assemblages ever since. This session invites fresh insights, new discoveries, and historical perspectives on the contractional prehistory and subsequent extensional tectonic evolution of metamorphic core complexes in the western North American Cordillera and around the world, and on the kinematic role of middle and deep-crustal shear zones in their evolution.
- T2. Snoke Session 2: The Eclectic Tectonic Legacy of Arthur W. Snoke—Comparative Anatomy and Tectonic Evolution of Continental Margins from the Precambrian to Recent.
Allen McGrew, Univ. of Dayton; Josh Schwartz, California State Univ. Northridge; Phyllis Camilleri, Austin Peay Univ.; Walter A. Sullivan, Colby College; Thomas Kalakay, Rocky Mountain College; Cal Barnes, Texas Tech Univ..
- This session honors Art Snokes diverse and global contributions to the continental margin tectonics of the western North American Cordillera and Appalachian orogen, Tunisia, the Italian Alps, and Tobago. We invite new perspectives on the Precambrian to Phanerozoic tectonic evolution of Cordilleran-type and other continental margins around the globe. This session will focus on new developments in the tectonic evolution and structural geology of arcs, continental transforms, and accretionary tectonics of continental margins.
- T3. Precambrian I: Archean and Paleoproterozoic Crustal Evolution of Western Laurentia.
David Mogk, Montana State Univ.; Paul Mueller, Univ. of Florida.
- This session will cover all aspects of the earliest creation and growth of the North American continent, including contributions from tectonics, geochemistry, and geochronology; studies of surficial deposits and environments; and the record of earliest life on Earth.

This session honors Pierce and the diverse contributions he has made to our understanding of the Quaternary and late Cenozoic geology of the western United States. We invite new perspectives as well as synthetic presentations on any of the topics that Pierces career has touched upon, including the glacial history of the western U.S., new dating methods for Quaternary deposits, geoarchaeology, Quaternary faulting and neotectonics, the Yellowstone hotspot and associated volcanism, and glacial and postglacial environments.
- T6. YellowstoneSnake River PlainColumbia River Volcanic Province: Geology, Petrology, Geophysics, and Geodynamics.
Bill Phillips, Idaho Geological Survey and Univ. of Idaho; Dan Moore, Brigham Young Univ.Idaho.
- New petrologic, seismic, and geodetic results have reinvigorated debate on the origin of Miocene to recent volcanism within the YellowstoneSnake River PlainColumbia River Volcanic Province. This session seeks contributions in the fields of geology (including geologic mapping), petrology, geophysics, and geodynamics. Contributions from throughout the province are encouraged.
- T7. Recent Advances in Structure, Tectonics, and Metamorphism of the Northern Rockies.
Julie Baldwin, Univ. of Montana; David Foster, Univ. of Florida.
- We encourage a broad range of integrative and multidisciplinary contributions to understanding the tectonic evolution of the Northern Rockies region from the Precambrian to the Eocene. We aim to highlight recent studies that utilize modern techniques in metamorphic and structural geology, isotope geochemistry, and geochronology to solve tectonic problems.
- T8. Geology and Geophysics of the Greater Blue Mountains Province, Salmon River Suture Zone, and Western Idaho Shear Zone: Late Paleozoic through Cenozoic Evolution of a Key Location of the Cordilleran Orogen (Posters).
Todd LaMaskin, Univ. of North CarolinaWilmington; Joshua Schwartz, California State Univ. Northridge; Basil Tikoff, Univ. of Wisconsin; Reed Lewis, Idaho Geological Survey. Posters only. This session is associated with Field Trip 1.
Session organizers request posters-only to encourage group discussions.
- Rocks in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho expose the nexus of a lithospheric boundary between young accreted and older continental material and are critical for understanding the Late Paleozoic through Cenozoic evolution of the Cordilleran Orogen. Over the past 10 years, this important region has experienced a renaissance of study with application of modern techniques in structural analysis, isotope geochemistry and geochronology, and active and passive geophysical techniques. As a result, numerous advances have been made and many concurring and differing models of tectono-magmatic evolution for the region have emerged. This POSTER session will be an opportunity for faculty and students to discuss, review, and compare-contrast each others contributions in this rapidly advancing area.
- T9. Paleogene Topography, Basin Evolution, and Sediment Dispersal in the Northern Rocky Mountain Region.
Bob Schwartz, Allegheny College; Amy Weislogel, Univ. of West Virginia; Marc Hendrix, Univ. of Montana; Theresa Schwartz, Stanford Univ.
- The upper Missouri River watershed drains the Northern Basin-and-Range province of southwest Montana and serves as a conduit for detritus entering the Mississippi-to-Gulf sediment sink. Southwestern Montana is marked by the overlap of the Sevier, Laramide, and batholith structural provinces and has undergone a protracted history of Sevier-Laramide compression followed by Paleogene-Neogene extension. Recent studies in stratigraphy/sedimentology, geochemistry, and tectonics have shed new light upon the Paleogene history and geological processes in this structurally complex region. For example, recent findings demonstrate that much of the Paleogene topography and drainage system was fundamentally similar to that of the modern. This session focuses upon the post-compressional to early extensional phase of Paleogene tectonics and the interrelationships between exhumation, superposition of antecedent streams, topography, intermontane basin evolution, and climatology. We encourage all field, laboratory, and modeling studies involving process, patterns, magnitudes, and rates.
- T10. The Early Tertiary Magmatic Firestorm of the U.S. and Canadian Cordillera: Geochemical, Petrological, and Tectonic Constraints.
Richard Gaschnig, Univ. of Maryland; Genet Duke, Arkansas Tech Univ..
- The Eocene and Paleocene epochs were characterized by a widespread flare-up of volcanism and plutonism in the Cordillera, stretching east from central Oregon to South Dakota, north into British Columbia, and south into Colorado and New Mexico. We seek contributions dealing both with the petrology and geochemistry of individual magmatic centers and the larger space-time-composition patterns and links between magmatism and tectonism of this unusual time in the history of the Cordillera.
- T11. Cenozoic Evolution of the Southwest: From the Relatively Undeformed Colorado Plateau to Central Basin and Range Complexities.
Melissa Lamb, Univ. of St. Thomas; Paul Umhoefer, Univ. of Northern Arizona; Tom Hickson, Univ. of St. Thomas; Sue Beard, USGS Flagstaff.
- In this session, we will explore the Oligocene-Neogene tectonic and paleogeographic evolution of the little-deformed but uplifted southwestern Colorado Plateau and the transition to the central Basin-and-Range and Colorado River Extensional Corridor, which have undergone both compression and large-magnitude extension. We invite proposals using a range of methods to examine the evidence of this evolution and/or the processes that formed this complex area.
- T12. Mesozoic Paleogeography of the North American Cordillera.
Joshua Bonde, Univ. of NevadaLas Vegas; Sean Long, Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, Univ. of Nevada; James Schmitt, Montana State Univ..
- This session focuses on our current understanding of the paleogeography of the North American Cordillera during Mesozoic time. Talks will include studies addressing this topic from a wide variety of subdisciplines, including, but not limited, to structure/tectonics, sedimentology/stratigraphy, geochemistry, paleoecology, and paleontology.
- T13. Geology and Paleontology of the Two MedicineJudith River Clastic Wedge.
Jack Horner, Museum of the Rockies and Montana State Univ.; Ray Rogers, Macalester College.
This session is associated with Field Trip 10.
- Paleontological discoveries made within the Two Medicine and Judith River formations of Montana have significantly advanced our understanding of Late Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystems, and analyses of the rock records of these two units have elucidated key aspects of paleoenvironment and depositional dynamics in this foreland basin setting. Some of the earliest discoveries of dinosaurs in North America studied from a scientific perspective were made in the type area of the Judith River Formation back in 1855, and more recent paleontological discoveries in the Two Medicine Formation have yielded key insights into dinosaur reproduction and behavior. Many other fossil groups, including mammals, lizards, turtles, and fishes, are also well known in the Judith River and Two Medicine formations, and work on a broad array of fossil taxa is ongoing. From a geological and taphonomic perspective, these two units provide an outstanding opportunity to study the controls on fossil preservation at both the local and basin scale. Stratigraphic analysis of the Two MedicineJudith River clastic wedge also affords an opportunity to explore the evolution of contemporaneous upland alluvial and coastal plain depositional systems in an active foreland basin. This theme session will bring together a diverse array or workers currently focusing on a variety of research questions relating to the Two MedicineJudith River clastic wedge.
- T16. Hydrogeology of the Williston Basin: Toward a Greater Understanding of Aquifer Dynamics, Water Availability, and Risk Potential from Energy Extraction in the United States and Canada.
Kyle Blasche, USGS Montana Water Science Center; Joanna Thamke, USGS Montana Water Science Center.
- Concerns about aquifer contamination and groundwater depletion from current energy development in the Bakken Formation in the Williston structural basin have prompted the initiation of studies focused on the hydrogeology of these transboundary aquifers, estimated groundwater availability, baseline water-quality conditions for a broad suite of constituents in aquifers used as drinking water sources, and risk potential from produced waters, hydrofracturing fluids, and product leakage. This session provides a venue to share recent results and future activities.
- T17. Tectonic and Climatic Drivers in Geomorphology and Landscape Evolution.
Jean Dixon, Montana State Univ..
- Landscapes evolve due to a complex relationship between the surface processes that sculpt the land surface and their tectonic and climatic drivers. Quantifying the controls on the chemical and physical processes that transport soil and sediment is critical to our understanding of the evolution of Earths surface and our ability to infer past processes and predict future change. This session seeks contributions that explore past, present, or future Earth surface processes from the scale of an individual soil profile to entire basins to those that shape global morphology. Cross-discipline work is especially encouraged.
- T19. Holocene Climate of Western North America.
Lesleigh Anderson, USGS; Greg Pederson, USGS; Andrea Brunelle, Univ. of Utah.
- A critical mass of more highly resolved paleoclimatic data from western North America, including Alaska, is testing old hypotheses and raising new questions about elevation gradients, seasonality of precipitation, synoptic patterns of the past, and the drivers of decade to century scale climatic variability. This session will review the state of the art in geologic and dendrochronologic records in terms of proxy interpretation and modeling of climate, hydrology, and ecosystems.
- T23. Selenium, Uranium, and Radionuclides: Geology, Biogeochemistry, and Ecosystem Impacts from Mining and Other Activities in the Western United States and Southwestern Canada.
David Naftz, USGSMontana Water Science Center; Stan Morrison, U.S. Dept. of Energy; Tony Ranalli, USGSColorado Water Science Center; Kyle Flynn, Montana Dept. of Environmental Quality.
- Concentrations of selenium, uranium, and select radionuclides are naturally elevated in many regions of the western United States and Canada. These elements are associated with active and (or) legacy development of uranium, coal, and phosphate deposits, as well as selected geologic formations in the region. Human activities, including mining, milling, irrigation, and urbanization, coupled with the enhanced natural mobility of these elements, has led to significant pollution of terrestrial, surface-water, and groundwater resources on federal, state, provincial, and tribal-managed lands. Examples of current research on these issues include (1) understanding legacy impacts from milling, mining, and exploration; (2) development of active and passive remediation processes; (3) refinement and application of statistical, hydrologic, and biogeochemical tools to better characterize environmental impacts; and (4) development of better geochemical methods for use in ecosystem-scale modeling of contaminant impacts. This session will integrate scientists from academic, private, and government agencies with U.S. and Canadian regulators to examine how recent research results can improve the identification, environmental management, and regulation of these constituents.
- T25. Teaching the Geology of Western North America. Cosponsored by National Association of Geoscience Teachers.
David Mogk, Montana State Univ.; Basil Tikoff, Univ. of Wisconsin; Cathy Manduca, SERC at Carleton College.
- This session will feature teaching strategies that focus on the geology of western North America from introductory courses to core geoscience courses for majors. Examples and case studies that cover geoscience resources, hazards, geology of the national parks, use of geoscience databases, and EarthScope science are encouraged.
- T26. Geologic Maps: Record of the Past, Foundation for the Future (Posters).
Grant Willis, Utah Geological Survey; Susan Vuke, Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology; Reed Lewis, Idaho Geological Survey.
- Ever since Jules Marcou published the first geologic map to cover the contiguous United States in 1855, geologic maps have served as the foundation of most geologic research in the west. This poster session will feature new geologic and supporting geophysical maps, geologic mapping-related studies, and innovative methods in field mapping, map production, and providing geologic maps for public use.
- T27. Field-Based Research Experiences for Undergraduates.
Cosponsored by Council for Undergraduate Research (CUR); National Association of Geoscience Teachers.
Emily Ward-Geraghty, Rocky Mountain College; Derek Sjostrom, Rocky Mountain College; David Mogk, Montana State Univ.; Kim Hannula, Fort Lewis College.
- This session will highlight the variety of undergraduate research projects happening in the geosciences and how they are being implemented at different types of institutions. The session is open to students who would like to present their research findings and faculty mentors who can speak to the effectiveness of these research experiences on student learning.
- T28. Teaching Geoscience in the Context of Place and Culture for Sustainability and Diversity.
Steven Semken, Arizona State Univ.; David Mogk, Montana State Univ..
- Our senses of place and cultural perspectives influenceand provide relevant context and meaning forthe ways that we teach about geoscience. Place-based and culturally informed geoscience teaching is that which intentionally leverages the diverse meanings people make in geologically illustrative places, the attachments students and instructors affix to such places, and the cultural knowledge of groups that reside in these places (whether indigenous, historically resident, or recent arrivals). These methods, applied in formal or free-choice learning contexts, are advocated to better engage underrepresented minority students, enrich the senses of place of all learners, and to promote environmental and cultural sustainability in places and regions. This session welcomes presentations that highlight current practices, theoretical models, and authentic assessment of place-based and culturally informed geoscience teaching.

The 2010 Ladies figure skating Competition is shaping up to be one of the best ever, with at least ten strong ladies competing for medals.
The favourite going in is Yu Na Kim of Korea.
After redemption in the 2010 Four Continents and taking the title, Mao Asada seems to be classed as her nearest rival.
The other three, not in any order seem to be the next tier of challengers, which include Miki Ando, Akiko Suzuki and Joannie Rochette.
The European Ladies on evidence of their recent showing at Tallinn, seem to be struggling but the likes of Carolina Kostner, Laura Lepisto, Kiira Korpi, Sarah Meier and pre European favourite Alena Leonova are out there to prove they are still in the Hunt. The American Ladies also will need to fine tune themselves to be close to the top.
From 2006 Olympics in Torino, 11 Ladies are returning for another chance to compete in the Games.
Joannie Rochette was 5th last time, but more pressure is on her this time as it is in her own country and from her silver medal at last years world's she comes in this time round as a strong medal contender.
Sarah Meier was 8th last time with great Sp and LP, and that kick started her next olympic cycle, since then she has been a
grand prix final bronze medalist and has picked up 2 silver medals at Euro's and has finished in the top 10 of worlds for the
past 4 years. Her form has dipped slightly mainly due to injury, but her main goal is once again to finish in the top 10. A gorgeous skater to watch. Sarah also competed in the 2002 Olympics. (Only her and Sebestyen remain from those games)
Carolina Kostner was 9th last time in her own country as the pressure took its toll, she did rebound to take two European titles and a third recently in a sub-par event. Kostner seems to be very good or very bad, if she is on she can win it hands down but her jumps seem to let her down. It will be a good competition for Kostner if she medals, it be so good to see her radiant smile.
Elene Gedevanishvili was 10th last time and was her explosive year into the sport, she had no fear, since then she has to battle the body growing but changing coaches seems to have done the trick and seems to be back on track, with a top 10 world finish last year and recently a surprise european bronze medal. She seems to be missing some of her jumps, more notably the loop and flip, but if she can nail the rest, combined with her spins and step sequences, another top 10 finish beckons.
Yan Liu of China was a surprise 11th finisher at Torino, her best result to date, but she has gorgeous lines and is very artistic but at times her jumps can let her down. Yan Liu had to qualify for Torino and she had to do the same in Oberstdorf, but she seemed to be on, on that day and was the highest finisher qualifier. Yan will be hoping to qualify for the free this time around. But if she skates clean like she did in Torino another high finish will be possible.
Miki Ando was a disastrous 15th last time, and was the biggest drop in standings of the night dropping from 8th after the SP to 15th overall. But Ando has rebounded thanks to a coaching change and Nikolai Morozov. Ando since then took the world title in 2007, but after a blip in 2008 came back strong in 2009 with a technically difficult program to capture the bronze medal and deny Asada a medal finish. Ando is certainly stronger this time around and could come away with the Gold if all her tricks come off.
Julia Sebestyen was also disappointing in her 18th place finish and it seems to be a rollercoaster ride for Sebestyen since she won the European title in 2004. She certainly has the best technique for jumping, but this seems to let her down. Julia though seems to be having the best season of her life, which for her will be her swan song. Sebestyen on her form at the moment can get in the top 10. Julia will be in her fourth games, her first being in 1998. WOW!!, well done.
Tugba Karademir was the first Turkish skater to compete in the Torino games and finished a creiditable 21st. Again Tugba qualified her country from the 2009 worlds, always a good skater to watch with good choreography, her aim will be to qualify for the free, she normally is a good SP skater.
A young Elena Glebova was 28th last time and so did not qualify for the free, but she has grown in stature and has posted some good results. Glebova should finish higher this time around as she has a 3x3 in her arsenal.
Anastasia Gimazetdinova was 29th last time and only knew at the last minute she was coming to Vancouver as an alternate, due to strict olympic rules posed on other skaters from other countries. Since Torino Gizmo has done well particularly in her SP at the 2006, 2007 and 2008 worlds. Gizmo has high jumps and if she is on her program can look lovely and would normally finish in the top 15 after the SP, for her she will be hoping to qualify for the free. Gizmo at 29 will be the eldest in the field so it will be nice to see some maturity out there on the ice.
Good luck to All, should be a good Competition.

CSC grads told that high marks come from withinBy Gordon Dritschilo
sTAFF wRITER | May 19,2013CASTLETON David Wolk, president of Castleton State College, congratulated the Class of 2013 for graduating from a school that was better than the one they arrived at.
This is commencement number 12 for me and they keep getting better, Wolk told nearly 500 graduates receiving associates, bachelors and masters degrees Saturday. Here we are for the very first time in this wonderful pavilion yet another new tradition this class has inaugurated.
Wolk said the new pavilion which he said is the largest of its kind in the state and other improvements in the last four years will soon be supplemented by an overhaul of the dining facilities, improvements to Leavenworth Hall and the construction of six new tennis courts.
I hope youll always come back to see the beauty of our new and improved campus, he said.
Graduation speaker Darren Perron, news anchor for WCAX and member of CSCs Class of 1995, also remarked on the schools improvements.
In a way this feels like coming home, but my, my, my how home has changed, Perron said. The campus looks fantastic.
Perron, who grew up in the Northeast Kingdom a place so rural that Burlington is considered the big city and anything below Rutland is considered the South said he came to Castleton because he wanted to be a storyteller and that it was the only school to which he applied.
During a tour, I visited Bob Gershons TV class and I knew right away, CSC was the school for me, he said.
Perron name-checked Sanjukta Ghosh, Tom Conroy, Roy Vestrich, Marjorie Ryerson and Terry Jaye as teachers who prepared him for the job that took him to Afghanistan covering the Vermont National Guard reporting that won him an Emmy.
While I dont wish any of you into a war zone, I do hope for you a lifetime of experiences you can learn from, he said. Even though you no longer have people grading you, I hope you will continue to grade yourself. High marks will come from your own internal sense of decency.
Perron offered a variety of words of wisdom, including an admonition not to fear errors. To punctuate that point, he showed a WCAX blooper reel on video screens placed around the pavilion.
Relax for a bit and dont feel guilty about it, he said. There is plenty of work ahead.

A woman remembered that she purchased a lottery ticket, which turned out to be a winner, only hours before the ticket was set to expire.
Karen Gentry of Alexandria, Va., just happened to see a news report that a Virginia Cash 5 winning ticket worth $100,000 was only hours from expiring, reported Yahoo. The television reporter asked viewers, "Would you leave a $100,000 lying around on your coffee table for anyone to grab? One Virginia Lottery player may be unknowingly doing just that."
Gentry remembered that she'd bought a ticket a few months back and dug it out. It was a winner.
By law, lottery tickets expire 180 days after the drawing.

I always thought breastmilk had more calories than baby food, better nutrients and whatnot. And that's why it should be the primary source of nutrition for the first year. And that's why solids shouldn't replace any breastmilk. And that's why you shouldn't start solids too early, because they aren't as nutritionally dense as breastmilk.
So I said this to someone the other day who said "my ped said that at 6 mos out breastmilk wasn't going to be enough calories for her" and so to offer solids.
To which someone else said "It is *not* true that breastmilk contains more calories than solid food. Unfortified breastmilk and unfortified formula all contain about 20-25 calories an oz. Some baby food contains 90 calories a tablespoon or more."
So what's the deal with this?

Lunar Fertility Cycle
Thousands of years ago, before modern science came along to explain that women menstruate because of changing hormones, it was generally accepted that menstrual cycles and the phases of the moon were interwoven. After all, the moon controls ocean tides, why not women's bodies? Even with the explanations we've been given in recent decades, some experts still support the idea of a relationship between the two. This celestial theory provides the possibility that women can be fertile twice in one cycle; first when she is ovulating, and again during her natal lunar fertile phase.
The term natal lunar fertile phase, coined by Czech psychiatrist Dr. Eugene Jonas, refers to the angle between the sun and the moon on the day of a person's birth. In the 1950s, Dr. Jonas was at a loss to explain why so many of his female patients were becoming pregnant at times when they were not supposed to be fertile. Dr. Jonas' interest in astrology led him to read a statement by the ancient astrologers of Babylon and Assyria that gave him what he thought could be the answer: "Woman is fertile during a certain phase of the moon."
After many years of researching the menstrual cycles of hundreds of women, Dr. Jonas believed he had gathered enough evidence to support the ancient theory, concluding that, in addition to the time of ovulation, a woman can be fertile every month during the same phase of the moon that occurred at the time of her birth. In other words, every month when the moon is in the same phase as it was when you were born, you can potentially ovulate and may become pregnant, even if you are on your period. Supporters say this additional fertile time is a result of the moon having aroused certain hormonal states in your body at the moment of your birth and continuing to influence your body over the course of your lifetime.Can it be true?
Every year, thousands of women faithfully follow and rely on methods of natural family planning in order to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Many of them have regular periods and feel as though they are so in tune with their own cycles that they can pinpoint their exact time of ovulation. Yet many become pregnant at times when they are certain they are not fertile. Doctors usually attribute these instances to mistakes made by women during the process of monitoring their signs of ovulation, which certainly do occur. Still, the menstrual-lunar connection has yet to be disproved, and the theory not only applies to women. A British study found that men's sperm counts significantly increase during their lunar fertility periods.
Regardless, the natal lunar fertile phase is a theory that has always been riddled with skepticism. Some studies have concluded that the connection between menstrual cycles and lunar cycles is non-existent because the average menstrual cycle does not match the 29.5-day lunar cycle. Yet a high percentage of women have cycles which do, in fact, last 29 to 30 days, so the debate continues.When is my lunar fertility phase?
A lunar phase is basically a description of the angular relationship between the sun and the moon at a particular time. Your personal lunar phase is repeated every month when the moon is in the exact position in relation to the sun as it was at the time of your birth. For example, if you were born during the new moon, your natal lunar phase comes every month when the moon is new.

Noise complaints anew for Monticello Motor Club
The noise at the Monticello Motor Club (MMC) has increased immensely since the expansion was approved. Our appointed [Town of Thompson] planning board members gave the MMC permission with no restrictions and added more time to racing. This was done without any consideration of the people that live here. The sound study done by the MMC was completely self serving.
I would like to ask each member of the planning board why they feel that the many people who spoke out at the public hearing deserve to have their homes invaded and quality of life destroyed?
Is the Town of Thompson so desperate for equivalent jobs? I just read an article concerning assessment of real estate taxes on recent developments. The MMC claims to have invested $41 million so far and is adding another $45 million for their expansion. Why should they receive over a $3 million dollar exemption over several years on real estate taxes? Why don't they pay their full taxes like the rest of us?
[Town of Thompson Supervisor] Cellini denied the town gave the club a free pass. What else would you call it with no restrictions? Mr. Cellini said, "There was a lot of give and take. The way I see it there was no give, just all take." Mr. [Ari] Straus [MMC president and one of the owners] states "the vast majority came out in favor of our expansion." Was there a vote? Many people spoke, not opposing the expansion, but asking for control of the noise.
I resent Mr. Straus saying the planning board imposed difficult and significant conditions seemingly to appease a relatively small group of opponents. His "not-so-small" group of opponents have a right to live.
The election is near. Please get out and vote. We need change.

Member, Concerned Citizens of the Town of Thompson

On this day, snakes -- the symbols of energy and prosperity -- are worshipped. Milk and cooked rice is offered to snakes carried by snake charmers. Clay snakes are brought home to be worshipped and immersed in the sea/river in the evening. In Southern India, particularly in Kerala, snake temples are crowded on this day and prayers are offered to the stone or metal icons of the eternal cosmic serpent Ananta or Shesha.

Yeesh, another pointless compilation. ah well you cant stop commercialism huh
Written by RavenKing on 20.08.2010 at 05:36
Though all you need is to ignore them and don't waste money on stuff you already have but has been only re-packaged.
Written by Baz Anderson on 21.08.2010 at 01:51
This is apparently a collection of live material, not the same old studio recordings.
Written by Angelic Storm on 21.08.2010 at 02:59
Really? It's still pretty much worthless unless the live recordings are never before heard...
On the subject of compilation albums, yep, some bands have many released, of which most are far from essential. Although this is a record companies' fault, not the bands'. Motorhead are a prime example. God knows how many compilation cds have been released by them over the years!

Johnny Depp: Fear of Clowns
Can you really blame him? Depp says that the painted faces and fake smiles of clowns give him the creeps. Apparently he didn't look in the mirror when he donned some clown-like makeup for his recent flick, Alice in Wonderland. (Credit: Jorge Herrera/Getty Images for Disney)
Justin Timberlake: Fear of Crawly Things
The former boy band crooner is apparently afraid of snakes, spiders and sharks. (Credit: Miguel Villagran/Getty Images)
Matthew McConaughey: Fear of Revolving Doors
Maybe they make him "Dazed and Confused" but in any case the actor has an extreme fear of revolving doors. (Credit: David Becker/ Getty Images)
Woody Allen: Fear of...Everything?
Maybe the better question is what isn't Woody Allen afraid of? He's reportedly afraid of sunshine, dogs, children, heights, small rooms, crowds, cancer and various illnesses, and any place on earth outside Manhattan. That last one must be hard since he's currently filming his new film "Midnight in Paris" on location. (Credit: Stephane Kossmann/Renault via Getty Images)
