/ 2012 Cache River WREP MRBI Project
The Cache River - Mississippi River Basin Initiative (MRBI) - Wetlands Reserve Enhancement Program (WREP) Project is a voluntary program that provides financial and technical assistance to agricultural producers for addressing water quality concerns in parts of the Cache River and White River watersheds.
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in partnership with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) has received funding for the initiative. Funding is available for portions of Jackson, Monroe, Poinsett, Prairie, St. Francis, White and Woodruff counties.
Funding will be available to eligible landowners through WREP. NRCS will purchase easements and TNC will restore hydrology and vegetation reducing the amount of nutrient runoff and sediments deposited in the Cache River and White River associated with agricultural production. Land and producer eligibility, adjusted gross income, and all other program criteria for participation in Wetlands Reserve Program must be met to participate in this initiative.
NRCS and associated conservation partners will deliver this program collaboratively. Applications may be obtained and filed with the Natural Resources Conservation Service at:

I have to agree about that ITV documentary. Not mentioning Gareth's time in RL was an absolute disgrace. We took him in and appreciated what he had to offer as a man and as a player.
I hope that Gareth will appear in the media to address and comment on the issue.
Can anyone clarify if Gareth Thomas played RU after he came out? I thought he was playing in France but then stopped playing for a while before coming to RL. I read his article in L'Equipe magazine (he was on the front cover) just after he came out.

Dear Dan,
I am more than perturbed at what went on at last night's Bethel Town Board meeting. You allowed a woman from our community to go on and on about the "dirty Chasidim" strewing garbage all over the lake. She made several defamatory, derogatory and anti-Semitic remarks about a community that has lived peacefully in Bethel for many generations.
It is unfathomable to me that when Judith Maidenbaum called Marge Brown a name last June you sent an officer to Judy's business to threaten her with jail, and you screamed at her in my presence, to stick the milfoil that plagues our communal lake up her butt. (And this is only the printable version of what you actually yelled in a tirade.) You went into a rage that day in town hall.
However, you sat rather quietly by last night in a public meeting that you run, governed by rules and regulations against prejudicial language, and allowed one of your constituents to make derisive and probably untrue allegations about a community that really does Bethel no harm. This is nothing more than bigotry in a public forum.
Do their children rob and steal? Have you ever found a Chasidic child breaking into a home in Smallwood? Do their men get rowdy and drunk on our streets and disturb the peace? The most they do is play Jewish music, and that, only during the day when it is allowed. Yet, even that music was cited last night as being disturbing by one of the other attendees at the meeting in what seemed to me was an anti-Chasidic free-for-all.
These are joyful, g-d fearing people.
I have lived in Kauneonga Lake all my life. I have been out in boats and walk up and down our streets. Never did I see any Chasidic women act aggressively toward bikers or toward anyone, as this woman alleged at the meeting. Nor have I seen Chasidic boaters throwing garbage blatantly in the lake. I have picked up hundreds of beer cans dropped by my secular, non-Chasidic, neighbors, but I have never fished even one of the "yalmulkas and yalmukas" this woman claims to have fished out of our lake as garbage.
Bethel is a diverse community. We cannot tolerate the type of blatant discrimination that went on last night, not towards our minorities, ethnic groups, or gays, or anyone who defines themselves as part of anything other than the world at large.
That last night happened is regrettable. But that you, as town supervisor, allowed it and went on with business as usual is unforgivable.
I know you can be a friend to the Chasidim. After all, you allowed them to keep the shul that caused Tim Dexter his job several years ago. But you were no friend last night. I think you owe that community an apology.
[Howie Block is a resident of Kauneonga Lake, NY.]

Volt May See Increased Nov. Sales; House Republican Looks to Kill $7,500 EV Tax Credit

Despite recent issues with the Chevrolet Volt's battery, GM expects increased Volt sales for November and a recent survey found that Volt customers are satisfied. A GOP lawmaker may, however, ruin EV success by fighting the $7,500 tax credit
General Motors Co. may have hit a few speed bumps this year with the Chevrolet Volt extended-range EV's battery-related incidents, but things seem to be looking up with an expected increase in November Volt sales and a recent survey that confirmed Volt customer satisfaction.
The Chevrolet Volt had its
best-ever sales month
in October 2011, but according to GM Spokesman Jim Cain, November Volt sales are expected to surpass the previous month.
In October, GM sold 1,108 Volts, which was the first time it had outsold the Nissan Leaf EV since April. For the year through October, GM sold a total of 5,003 Volts.
Experts say that it is now very unlikely that GM will meet its sales goal of 10,000 Volts sold in 2011, but GM predicts increased sales in November over the month of October. The final sales figures for November have not yet been released.
Perhaps the reason for increased sales expectations is Volt customer satisfaction. According to a recent survey by Consumer Reports, Chevrolet Volt owners "love their cars."
The Consumer Reports survey, which was released Thursday, is based on over 314,000 opinions of 2009-2012 model year vehicles. The survey found that 93 percent of Volt owners who participated said they'd buy the EV again.
However, the survey was conducted only a few months after the Volt hit showrooms, and mainly consisted of early buyers and enthusiasts. The survey was also taken before the formal investigation of Volt/lithium battery safety began.
Earlier this year, the Volt underwent a series of tests at a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) facility in Wisconsin. Three weeks after a side-impact crash test on May 12, the Volt went up in flames while parked at the facility, catching nearby vehicles on fire.
This sparked a NHTSA investigation, where
three more Volts were tested
November 16, 17 and 18. One battery had normal results while another emitted sparks and smoke, and the third caught on fire one week later. The NHTSA is now conducting a formal investigation of the vehicle's safety.
The Volt may be seeing the upside of a nasty situation for now with a potential sales increase and customer satisfaction, but one GOP lawmaker is looking to throw a wrench in the EV industry's success by fighting the $7,500 tax credit.
Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) told Congress Wednesday that he wants the $7,500 tax credit for EVs to cease because he says electric vehicles have not met desired goals and the tax credit only benefits the wealthy. He specifically noted that the annual income of Volt owners is $175,000.
"[The Volt] has become the poster child of President Obama's failed green agenda," said Kelly. "Like many green initiatives promoted by this administration and bankrolled by the American taxpayer, the electric car is better in theory than in practice; has limited consumer demand; is heavily subsidized; and has fallen short of reaching targeted goals. Despite the fact that the federal government has no business subsidizing a product that a manufacturer could just as easily
promote through rebates and other buyer incentives
, the tax subsidies are largely going to the affluent few who can actually afford to buy an electric car, which costs anywhere between $40,000 and $97,000."
Kelly's "like many other green initiatives promoted by this administration" comment was more than likely referring to this year's Solyndra disaster, where the U.S. government loaned solar panel company Solyndra $535 million in 2009 despite warnings that the company would go bankrupt.
Solyndra filed for bankruptcy
on September 6, 2011.

The Apawamis Club
Rye, New York
July 19-22, 2004
RYE, N.Y. â Pete Alminas of East Longmeadow, Mass., shaved seven strokes from his opening round score and fired a 3-under-par 69 to take over the lead in the Boys Division at the Marsh Junior at Apawamis.
Holding steady, Nicole Smith of Riverside, Calif., separated herself from the Girls Division field with a comfortable six-shot lead entering the final round.
The Marsh Junior at Apawamis is a 54-hole tournament conducted by the American Junior Golf Association at The Apawamis Club Rye, N.Y. The tournament features 99 of the nationâs premier junior golfers, ages 12-18, from 13 states, including 34 from New York.
After high first round scores, The Apawamis Club proved to be a challenging course to break par once again. But without a single bogey all round, Alminas was able to make his charge to the top of the leader-board.
âIâm playing pretty consistent right now,â Alminas said. âI didnât have any bogeys and made some big par putts.
âWith this course, I hit a lot of 3-woods and leave myself with wedge shots in."
In only his fourth AJGA tournament, Alminas still said he feels comfortable with the position heâs in.
âI was in one of the final groups in Virginia (at the ClubCorp Junior Players Championship) last year and played pretty well,â said Alminas, who finished sixth in that event. âThe experience (of being in contention) should help me.â
As the only junior to stand at even par for the tournament, Alminas holds a one shot lead over Peter Uihlein of North Dartmouth, Mass., and Conrad Von Borsig of Swarthmore, Pa. Christopher Gold of Haddonfield, N.J., also fired a 3-under-par 69 to catapult himself into fourth place, while Kevin Horan of Marina Del Rey, Calif., is four shots back in fifth place.
Riverside, Calif.-native Nicole Smith entered the second round tied for the lead with Courtney Tincher of Greenwich, Conn., but separated herself by shooting a second round 5-over-par 77.
âIâm not too happy with the round today, but I know I can come out and shoot a wicked score on this course,â Smith said. âI can reach the par-5s (in two) and am going to come out and play well tomorrow.â
Tincher is in second and Kasi Lee of Paramus, N.J., is in third. She trails the leader by seven strokes.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The largest association of its kind, the AJGA has a junior membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries.
Titleist, the AJGAâs National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Associationâs success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, a supporter of the AJGA since 1983, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004.
AJGA alumni have risen to the top of amateur, collegiate and professional golf. More than 160 former AJGA juniors currently play on the PGA and LPGA Tours and have compiled more than 300 wins. AJGA alumni include Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Davis Love III, Mike Weir, Charles Howell III, Jim Furyk, Vicki Goetze-Ackerman, Grace Park, Christie Kerr and Beth Bauer.
Final-round tee times begin at 7 a.m. Thursday off the No. 1 tee at The Apawamis Club. For more information about the Marsh Junior at Apawamis, please contact tournament headquarters at (914) 967-2100.
The Foundation
The Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Grant program provides financial assistance to junior golfers who wish to play in AJGA events. Its goal is to give top-flight golf opportunities to young golfers regardless of financial resources. This program helps to fulfill the AJGA's mission of developing young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf.
What is Leadership Links?
Leadership Links is a new program whereby the AJGA is able to further its mission to help develop young men and women by teaching charitable giving skills and service-oriented practices at an early age. This program gives juniors all the tools necessary to donate their time, talent and resources to local charities and the AJGA youth development programs.

Sustainable tourism is the goal, with gourmet dining and tropical views available for less during the discounted "green season" which lasts through mid-December.
There's always a party happening in New Orleans, but you can find a peaceful European-style oasis just a block away from Bourbon Street at the Audubon Cottages. Bliss out poolside at the oldest saltwater pool in the French Quarter or relax on your private patio. A butler caters to guests in seven private cottages tastefully decorated with antiques. Naturalist John Audubon stayed here while penning his famed "Birds of America" series. Fall rates start at $499 per night, double occupancy.
Leave big-city stress behind as you nestle into a Mediterranean-style bungalow just a stone's throw from Los Angeles at Terranea Resort, where a health-focused personal concierge is available 24/7.

Go Sept. 14-15, and you can reserve a spot to dine with animal expert Jack Hanna.
If you're ready for a super splurge, or perhaps have a few friends who also are looking for an extreme escape, rent Royal Belize, a private three-villas-only, seven-acre island where there are more pelicans than people. During downtime between gourmet meals prepared by a personal chef, you can savor seaside views from cozy hammocks, kayak or snorkel or take an off-island jaunt to explore Mayan ruins. A three-day stay runs about $5,000 per couple.
Take your perch nearly 2,700 feet above the Dan River in a luxurious Primland tree house, where the natural wonders of the Blue Ridge Mountains meld with high-end creature comforts, such as a soaking tub and 400-thread count Frette sheets. At the main lodge, the resort's observatory dome houses a massive telescope that takes stargazing to a new level. Other activities include golf, fishing, sporting clay shooting, ATV tours and sustainable wild game hunting. Tree house rates start at $550 a night.
You'll feel as if you've stepped into a movie set when you take in the views from luxury tents on the banks of the Blackfoot River in Montana. These safari-style retreats have electricity, fine art and modern amenities. Fall rates at the Paws Up River Camp start at $839 per person, per night, inclusive of all meals and transportation from the airport. The spa menu includes a Moose Drool massage and a Montana Gold Rush massage.
Autumn is a key time to find a "repositioning cruise" as many cruise lines move their ships for the season. These trips don't feature the normal shore excursions, but you'll get quality time at sea with the usual onboard amenities, meals and entertainment -- generally at a discount. Royal Caribbean, for example, has three ships traversing the ocean in November from Europe to various ports in the U.S. Serenade of the Seas sets sail from Barcelona on Nov. 27 for New Orleans with a starting price of $649 per person.

I can't believe it! We made it to two years! And the end is nowhere in sight...he loves kikis! I'm probably as surprised as my relatives - I had no idea our nursing relationship would continue this long, but I'm thrilled. I honestly believe it is part of the reason he's such a happy, well-balanced little man. I had no deadline in mind when I started, I just took each day as it came.
I'm happy to share this wonderfully good news in a week where I'm anxiously awaiting a second ultrasound after an inconclusive first u/s at 4 weeks. I guess I'm back to taking each day as it comes, right?
I'd like to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for your support through endless issues, big and little, over the past couple of years. I could not have done this alone. The mamas here continually inspire me to make the changes in myself, my routine, my family and my parenting to try and be the best mother I can possibly be. Thank you.

Besides BM our 9 mo gets some baby cereal and mashed table food. Somehow I have this idea that we need to hold off on tomatoes until after 1 year, but cannot find info to back that up. Did I make this up or is there asome reason to delay? She has not had any reactions to anything we have tried yet. She has not liked all of it, but that's another issue :)
Also I heard one should wait until after 1 year to give baby foods naturally high in nitrates. This was not useful, since fresh foods do not list nitrate levels. Can someone shed some light on this also?
Baby does not receive bacon, cured meats or red wine. What other high nitrate foods would baby possibly be getting?
Thank you!

Yes, a cyber metal album is BORING.
Written by Guest on 15.05.2011 at 06:28
This does not meet the hype, everyone.
Written by Guest on 16.05.2011 at 19:00
I only intended to make the influences of Neurotech clear because I cannot find an original sound to their music. I understand that the songs are vastly different between the two artists, but the ambience has done nothing to separate them from other artists.
So they have catchy slow songs and they have catchy fast songs? So do a lot of metal bands. They need more twists; they are so boring and straighforward to me. They need more variations WITHIN the songs themselves to truly interest me and so therefore I find that their song-writing is not good enough. The lyricism ranges from OK to...terrible. You can't rate a debut album any differently from any other album simply because it is a debut; I am just saying that out of all the metal I have currently listened to, this album deserves a 6. Of course, I am always open to re-evaluating my ratings in the future and I constantly relisten to some albums (for example, the new Obscura album has something bad that I can't put my finger on so I'm relistening to that over and over again).
I agree-- they are likely industrial/electronic with a bit of symphonic here and there. I have not written a mini-review of sorts-- I just wanted to perhaps open up discussion and look into the pros and cons of this album. I have not seen many dislike the album, so I thought I would make my views more explicit. Yes, this is my opinion and other people have their own opinions--and I'm ultimately advocating that it's a promising listen but not to expect too much when you listen to it.

Written by Guest on 16.05.2011 at 21:58
To MechanisT: I originally said "don't believe the hype, everyone" simply because I was eager to dispute its value. I have since changed that comment because I don't want to boldly influence people too much (although any assessment of the album will influence people to some extent, even your earliest comment about this album). And my long comments simply reflect my eagerness to discuss the album (although the review may be the most appropriate forum to do that with, thanks for the advice). As for the debut comment-- that's quite logical haha. I still think that debut albums should have an original sound already beginning, and that's part of why I found the Neurotech album to be disappointing: because I couldn't find much in terms of originality. That doesn't mean it is bad-- it simply means they need time to mature and develop, IMHO. My 6 is largely represenative of this potential. Cheers, MechanisT!

This album is a jewel, never heard of these guyz before, but a perfect 10 belong to em. Great album. It reminds the old Kovenant/Samael.
Written by Susan on 10.12.2011 at 20:03
So.. this album is amazing. I should really listen to more of this genre. I love how this album incorporates symphonic elements so smoothly. Some songs it feels predominant, other songs it's just a nice background part of the mood. Excellent songwriting.
For a debut they sure sound like seasoned pros. Really solid music.

I'm about to give this baby a spin. And by spin, I mean listen to it for free by downloading it legally from their website! This sounds like my kind of thing.

I am not sure how anyone could find this music boring in anyways? Are you fucking DEAF or something? Are you fucking serious? This is by far the best FULL album i have ever heard, every single song is fucking epic, there are absolutely no weaknesses in this album, its A MASTERPIECE- BOTTOM LINE

Catchy, but pretty generic. Greater emphasis on melodeath influences is what separates this band from bands like Kovenant, unfortunately, the melodeath tones just seem to fall a bit flat and are uninteresting.

I think this album is more industrial than melodeath.

West's largest coal-fired plant on track to closeap file photo
Shown here is the main plant facility at the Navajo Generating Station, as seen from Lake Powell in Page, Ariz.
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. The largest coal-fired power plant in the West will produce one-third less energy by 2020 and is on track to cease operations in 2044 under a proposal that the federal government adopted to cut haze-causing emissions of nitrogen oxide at places like the Grand Canyon.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Monday that the owners of the Navajo Generating Station could either shut down one of the plants 750-megawatt units or reduce power generation by an equal amount by 2020. The owners would have until 2030 to install pollution controls that would cut nitrogen-oxide emissions by 80 percent.
EPA regional administrator Jared Blumenfeld in San Francisco said a final decision didnt come easily and required flexibility. Along with meeting energy demands in the West, the 2,250-megawatt plant powers a series of canals that deliver water to Phoenix and Tucson, fuels the economies of the Navajo and Hopi Tribes, and helps fulfill American Indian water-rights settlements with the federal government.
This is so complex and integrated into the fabric of Arizona, Blumenfeld said.
The final rule comes five years after the EPA gave notice that it was considering pollution controls for the plant. The agency later released a proposal that would have required the upgrades by 2023.
A group made up of the plants operator, tribal and federal officials, a canal system known as the Central Arizona Project and environmental groups said they could do better and came up with their own proposal, which was adopted by the EPA.
Reducing power generation by one-third should come easily because the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and NV Energy have announced their intention to cut ties with the coal plant by 2019. Together, they own almost one-third of the plant near Page, run by the Salt River Project, one of Arizonas largest utility companies. None of the other owners would lose any power generation as a result.
On the whole, while were increasing our costs associated with the plant, the plant itself is still valuable enough to our customers and Arizona for us to continue, Salt River Project spokesman Scott Harelson said.
Conservation groups not part of drafting the alternative proposal had urged the EPA to reject it. They said that the best choice EPA could make was to require the plants owners to install selective catalytic reduction similar to catalytic converters on an automobile by 2018.
The EPA received about 77,000 comments on the alternative proposal.
The final rule means the Navajo Nation ultimately will see less revenue from coal that feeds the power plant. But the executive director of the tribes Environmental Protection Agency, Stephen Etsitty, said it provides a better chance of the power plant continuing operations.
Of course its not perfect, he said. Its an indication that EPA is really open to the recommendations of local stakeholders. To me, thats a good move in the right direction.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

Keynote Addresses
- Geological Society of America Southeastern Section Keynote Address
Cosponsored by AEG Carolinas Section; Geological Society of America, Southeastern Section
Sun., 1 April, 5:306:30 p.m. All meeting attendees are invited. Refreshments will be served.
Richard M. Wooten, Senior Geologist—Geohazards and Engineering Geology, North Carolina Geological Survey.
"Landslide Hazard Mapping 2005-2011: Findings and Lessons Learned."Abstract [open/close]In the Hurricane Recovery Act of 2005 the North Carolina General Assembly authorized the North Carolina Geological Survey to produce landslide hazard maps for 19 western North Carolina counties in response to the landslides and destruction triggered by rainfall from remnants of Hurricanes Frances and Ivan in September 2004. At the time when the General Assembly eliminated the funding and positions for the landslide mapping program in 2010, the team had completed mapping in Macon, Watauga, Buncombe and Henderson Counties, and had begun mapping in Jackson County. The four completed counties comprise an area with about 40% of the population of the 19 counties originally designated for mapping. The landslide hazard maps, designed for use in a geographic information system (GIS), show areas of past, current and potential future landslide activity, and geologic units or structures that pose slope stability hazards. In a separate study, landslide hazard mapping was done as part of a geologic inventory and mapping of the Blue Ridge Parkway corridor in North Carolina.
Some initial findings and observations have emerged from these studies. Mapping identified 3,294 slope movements and 3,153 slope movement deposits (e.g., debris fans). Debris/earth slides, flows and blowouts make up 92% of the total number of identified slope movements, and have resulted in the most fatalities, injuries and property damage. Rock and weathered-rock slope failures that include major rockslide events along I-40 in the Pigeon River Gorge constitute the next major category at 7%. Rainfall rate and duration are critical factors in debris flow initiation. At least seven major storm events that triggered numerous landslides across WNC have occurred since 1916. Two of these regional storm events occurred in 1916, two in 1940, one in 1977, and two in 2004. Losses from 57 landslides occurring since 1990 include six fatalities, five serious injuries, 40 destroyed or condemned structures, damage to 24 structures and 56 other private properties, and damage to 32 private and NCDOT roads. With the exception of the 2004 Peeks Creek debris flow in Macon County that caused five fatalities and 16 destroyed homes, the other 56 landslides occurred where slope modifications by human activity were likely contributing factors.
- Eastern Section of the Society for Sedimentary Geology (ES-SEPM) Reception and Keynote Address
Sun., 1 April, 6:308 p.m. Everyone is welcome. Refreshments will be served.
David A. Budd, Global SEPM President-Elect and Professor of Geological Sciences, University of Colorado at Boulder:
Are self-organizing processes an overlooked component of sedimentary diagenesis?Abstract [open/close]The processes that alter sediments, turn them into rock, and continue to modify the rock throughout its burial history are well known, as are typical associations between processes, products, and diagenetic settings. We do not fully understand all the controls on processes and products, but given a thin section and some key geochemical data, we can decipher a lot about a rocks diagenetic history.
What has been elusive is an understanding of the spatial distribution of alteration products. Recent work suggests that self-organizing phenomena may be one cause of spatial patterning at a variety of scales. Self-organization creates patterns from interactions between the components of a dynamic system. The patterns are produced without external influences or a pre-existing template. Self-organization is increasingly recognized in the deposition of sediments and sedimentary bodies. With respect to diagenesis, disequilibrium and nonlinear feedbacks are the only requirements. Changes in physiochemical regime create disequilibrium between rocks and fluids. Nonlinear feedbacks arise between fluid flow, reactive surface area, changing petrophysics, and the systems evolving chemistry. The appropriate question may not be, are there self-organizing phenomena in diagenesis, but how do we recognize them and determine their origin?
The simplest way to identify self-organizing phenomena is to detect patterns in diagenetic products. This is easiest in at hand sample or thin section scales. At larger scales, patterns can only be detected with regular, closely spaced samples over tens to hundreds of meters, but such a sampling strategy is extremely rare. We will only know which self-organizing phenomena exist if we first adjust our sampling strategies and systematically look for them in the attributes of sedimentary rocks.
Recognizing patterns, however, will not explain how self-organizing diagenetic systems function. Due to the complexity of the systems and the range of possible outcomes, understanding self-organizational mechanisms requires numerical simulations. Recognizing a pattern in massive dolostones and understanding its origin through reaction-transport and fabric-evolution modeling of dolomitization illustrates one example of self-organization in diagenesis.

Watch out for those falling coconuts in Malaeimi
While walking or driving along the main highway in Malaeimi watch out for falling coconuts. There have been calls this week to the American Samoa Power Authority to assist in trimming coconut trees along the main road in Malaeimi.
Samoa News was told that one of the calls for help to ASPA came from the Governor's Office following a recent report, and if it were not for the quick reaction of a driver, an accident would have occurred due to falling coconuts right onto the road.
The second call came from Tualauta Rep. Larry Sanitoa, who first approached the governor's office for help and his request was also forwarded to ASPA. In a separate e-mail message to ASPA's chief executive officer Andra Samoa, the lawmaker explained that he has been "made to understand that ASPA is better equipped and knowledgeable with tree trimming than the Department of Public Works."
"Several families in Malaeimi have reported the danger to pedestrians and automobiles being hit from tree debris, leaves, branches and coconuts falling from trees that are dangerously close to the roadside," Sanitoa wrote.
Specifically, they are referring to coconut trees across from Dave's Taxi Stand & Market Stands in Malaeimi, said Sanitoa, adding that Public Works and Public Safety are "very much aware of the hazard these coconut trees pose to commuters."
And everyone is in agreement that the best solution would be to trim if not remove the trees from the roadside, said Sanitoa.
"The landowner has been alerted and has consented to proceed with trimming these trees as necessary to prevent any fatal accident," he wrote and noted that graduations will begin soon and it would be ideal to get this cleared to avoid and prevent any unnecessary accident."
Last week Samoa News received two complaints from motorists about fallen coconuts also in the Malaeimi area, especially during the time of strong winds. The coconuts fell on the road and missed two motorists heading into town.

Alfonso Daniel Rodríguez Castelao (30 January 1886 – 7 January 1950), most commonly known as simply Castelao, was a Galician writer in Galician language and one of the main symbols of Galician nationalism. As a politician, caricaturist, painter, and writer, he is one of the leading figures of Galician identity and culture, and one of the main names behind the cultural movement Xeración Nós. He was also one of the founders and president of the Partido Galeguista (Galicianist Party).
Afonso Daniel Rodríguez Castelao, or simply Daniel Castelao, was born in the village of Rianxo on January 30th of 1886. His father was a modest fisherman that this same year emigrated to Argentina, establishing himself in the Pampa. In 1896 he travelled with his mother, Xaquina Castelao Gemme to meet his father, and they returned in 1900 along with his two sisters, Xosefina and Teresa (yet alive at hers 100), both born in South America.
In 1903 Castelao was admitted to the Faculty of Medicine of Compostela. He was then, as himself described, "a funny and dancing lad, friend of playing guitar and agile-drawing depicting the surrounding reality." Through the years 1906 to 1908 he joined to the Tuna [student music band], making some tours thru Galicia and Portugal.
In 1909 he participated in the First Galician Regional Exposition of Cartoonists in Santiago and he won the Gold Medal. That same year, he finished his studies and travelled to Madrid to make his doctorcy studies. There, he participed in the First National Cartoonists Exposition.
Castelao returned to Rianxo in 1910 to work as a doctor and he started a new studying and researching phase in his facet of plastic and literacy artist. He meet Galician patriots like Eduardo Dieste, brother of Rafael Dieste, Fernández Mato and Rey Baltar and got a definitive plasmation of his own style as a plastic artist thru the pages of the weekly magazine El Barbero Municipal where he worked as a typographer, illustrator, cartoonist, humorist and political cronist. Besides, he collected sayings, legends and events, he drawed coats and cruceiros, he assisted to romarías, he meet blindmen and troubadours, making a whole inventory of kinds, conducts, situations and conflicts that thereafter would appear in his narratives, stamps and designs. He also meet the first Galician nationalist people, like Manuel Murguía and Valentín Lamas Carvajal. Artists like Valle-Inclán, Goya and El Greco are determinatives in this period, when he was intentionally wanting to show the best and the worst of the peasant and fishering Galicia.
In 1911 he started his collaboration with the Ourensean magazine Mi Tierra, along with Vicente Risco. The next year he was appointed to make the official poster of the Apostle Feasts in Compostela and he presented a exposition in Ourense. He took part in the Galician Regional Painting Exhibition organized by the Centro Galego of Madrid and he also participated in the First Galician Art Exhibition in A Coruña. On april 1912 he exposed his fifty paintings and oils in the Salón Iturrioz of Madrid and started his collaborations with the journal El Liberal of Madrid, and with the magazines El Gran Bufón, La Voz de Galicia and Suevia. Castelao was married on October 19th with Virxinia Pereira Renda, a beautiful woman from A Estrada.
The year of the European war, 1914, his only son, Afonso Xesús, was born. In the negative side, Castelao suffered a retina loosening, being satisfactorialy operated in Compostela.
In 1915 he started his collaboration with the magazine Ilustración Española y Americana in which he published some blindmen pictures. He took part in the Exposición de Bellas Artes of Madrid and made the conference "Something about the cartoons". He also participated in the Cartoonist Exhibition celebrated in the Salón de Arte Moderno in Madrid.
The next year he established himself in the town of Pontevedra, after winning a public examination to the technical corporation of the Geographical and Statistic Institute and he filled the post as a adjunt professor to the Drawing chair of the General and Technical Institute, where he meet since 1921 Antón Losada Diéguez, responsible of the Psichology, Logic & Ethics chair. He started to participate activelly in the Irmandades da Fala activities. In 1917 he first collaborated with the weekly magazine A Nosa Terra.
In 1918 he signed the transcendental manifest of Lugo and published 26 cartoons in the journal of Madrid El Sol, in which catalonian cartoonist Lluís Bagaría worked too.
Two years later, he started his itinerant pictures exhibition that will be printed under the title of "Nós" in 1931. He makes the conference "Humourism, humouristic picture, cartoon". The journal El Sol offers him a scholarship in Europe but he renunces to take part of the staff. Later, he started another collaboration, with the journal Galicia, edited by his friend Valentín Paz Andrade. The articles published in Galicia would be later added in his books Cousas, Cousas da vida and Retrincos.
In 1930 he started a new stage of collaborations in the journal Faro de Vigo which would go on until 1932, when he edited his Cousas da vida [Things of Live] series with more of three hundred pictures. On april 27th he took part in the 6th Nationalist Galician Assembly, representing Pontevedra along with Xosé Filgueira Valverde and Iglesias Vilarelle. In that meeting they rejected the integration in the Casares Quiroga's ORGA (a pro-Spanish political party) and they decided to promote the creation of a new party with a clear Galeguist principles, independent from the Spanish organizations.
On april 14th, 1931 the Second Spanish Republic is proclaimed in Madrid. A meeting of the Galeguist cells is hold with the goal of promoting a candidature to run in next elections. The candidature was formed by Castelao, Valentín Paz Andrade and Ramón Cabanillas. In the electoral campaign Castelao takes part as speaker and he also designed the electoral posters. Finally he was elected and become a representative for the Galeguist Party for Pontevedra.
In the 1933 elections Castelao lost his seat in the Spanish Cortes [Parliament] and the "Bienio Negro" [Black Two Years] start when the right-wing party took the power. In november of 1934 Castelao was exiled to Badajoz (South of Spain) because of his political activities and the defence of the Galeguist ideals. Nevertheless, in 1935 he re-started his collaborations with the journal A Nosa Terra [Our Land], with a chronicle series which will serve in the future as introduction to his masterpiece, Sempre en Galiza, the master work of the Galician politic theory.
In February 1936 he was again elected member of the Spanish Parliament for the Galeguist Party, and he took part in the electoral defence of the Galician Autonomic Estatute, approved by a overwhelming majority in a referendum in February, 1936. Alas, on July 18th the Franco's fascist army started the Spanish Civil War, but Castelao didn't quit from the cause of the Estatute. After a thousand of incidences and obstructionist manouvers, he achieved that Spanish Cortes approved the Estatute in February, 1938. But in the practice, fascist troops had already taken all Galicia and the starting of the Estatute was too late.
In Galicia there was no Civil War. There was a massacre. In 1937 Castelao started a continuous work for supporting and defending the Republic, promoting along with Suárez Picallo the organization of a Galician militias, creating the magazine Nova Galiza and making trips as a Republican roving ambassador in Europe and America.
Being profoundly impressed by the war aftermaths in Galicia, especially the terrible killing of the Galician patriot and personal friend Alexandre Bóveda, he visited in 1938 some cities of the USSR along with a cultural embassy in the spring. He also studied there the arts of Russia, Ukraine and Azerbaiyan. In July he started another trip in the United States and Cuba to support the Republic. He stood three months in the USA and four in Cuba. He published his album Milicianos and started the composition of Dibuxos de negros [Black people drawings]. He was then appointed Honorific President of the World Federation of Black Societies.
The Spanish War finished in 1939 with the defeat of the democracy. In Juny 1940, Castelao was definitivelly established in Buenos Aires, counting with the moral and material supporting of the Galician emigrants, especially the Galician millionaire Manuel Puente. He also promoted the creation of the Irmandades Galegas [Galician Brotherhoods].
Through the period 1941-1944 he participated in the exiled Republican MP's meetings that took place in Mexico City, in which the re-establishing of the Estatutes Comission was approved. He also revitalized Galeusca, an association created in Compostela in 1934, formed by intelectuals from Galicia, the Basque Country and Catalonia.
In 1944 the Consello de Galiza [Counsel of Galiza] was created, as the Government of Galicia in the exile. Castelao becomes the first president of the Consello. Two years later he was appointed as Ministry for the Spanish Republic and he established in Paris, but in 1947 he returned to Buenos Aires again.
In 1949 he knew about the illness that would kill him, a lung cancer. So, he dedicated his last months to prepare the edition of his last work: As Cruces de pedra na Galiza [The stone crosses in Galiza]. It wouldn't be published in Galicia until 1980´s.
On January 7th, 1950 the biggest Galician man ever born died in Buenos Aires in exile. His own countrylanders couldn't know the sad new until some weeks later, because of the Franco's fascist censure. His corpse was buried in La Chacarita cemitery, using earth brought from Galicia. All the Galician people silently mourned him and very important people from all over the world came to the La Chacarita cemitery in Buenos Aires to say salute Castelao. The Argentinian senate and the City of Buenos Aires Council erected monuments to honour him.
In 1984 his remains were moved to Compostela, where they rest in the Distinguished Galician Pavillion of the Santo Domingos de Bonaval monastery. A big political controversy arose then because some people thought that Galician politicians were using or taking adventage from his figure, and the Spanish policemen charged against demostrators. Since then, most of Castelao's work has been translated and published in several languages: Hungarian, Italian, French, Spanish, Russian, English, Chinese...

- Abstract
- Workflow systems are designed to support the process automation of large scale business and scientific applications. In recent years, many workflow systems have been deployed on high performance computing infrastructures such as cluster, peer-to-peer (p2p), and grid computing (Moore, 2004; Wang, Jie, & Chen, 2009; Yang, Liu, Chen, Lignier, & Jin, 2007). One of the driving forces is the increasing demand of large scale instance and data/computation intensive workflow applications (large scale workflow applications for short) which are common in both eBusiness and eScience application areas. Typical examples (will be detailed in Section 13.2.1) include such as the transaction intensive nation-wide insurance claim application process; the data and computation intensive pulsar searching process in Astrophysics. Generally speaking, instance intensive applications are those processes which need to be executed for a large number of times sequentially within a very short period or concurrently with a large number of instances (Liu, Chen, Yang, & Jin, 2008; Liu et al., 2010; Yang et al., 2008). Therefore, large scale workflow applications normally require the support of high performance computing infrastructures (e.g. advanced CPU units, large memory space and high speed network), especially when workflow activities are of data and computation intensive themselves. In the real world, to accommodate such a request, expensive computing infrastructures including such as supercomputers and data servers are bought, installed, integrated and maintained with huge cost by system users

Request Information
Clicking the "Send Request" button above constitutes your express written consent to be called and/or texted by Hiram College at the number you provided, regarding furthering your education. You understand these calls may be generated using automated technology.
Sandy Madar, Professor of Biology
After a recent advising meeting, a student told Professor Sandy Madar, "You're the first person that makes me feel good about the fact that I'm sorting my path out."
That sentence, in a nutshell, is what "First at Hiram" means to her. Hiram College is a place where students can sort out their ideas as they figure out where they want to go in life. Students are put first as they are encouraged to discover new things, and supported as they try them for the first time.
"There should be no apology about walking through the door and saying, 'I want to do "A,"' and (then) taking some classes and having some experiences, doing some volunteer work … and recognizing the fact that it's not 'A,'" said Professor Madar, who also serves as director of Strategic Academic Initiatives.
The conversation she had with this student is typical; often times, students start college with one idea, and by the time they graduate, they've discovered something entirely new that they want to do with life. At a small and tight-knit college like Hiram, students are able to discover their true passions faster than they would at large institutions because they are able to reach across disciplines in a unique way.
And unlike those large institutions where professors sometimes spend more time doing research than teaching, Professor Madar said at Hiram, teaching is interwoven in everything they do. Professors depend on student assistants for their research, so it becomes a two-way street that benefits both sides.
"It's part of our ethos, really," she said. "We recognize the value of those partnerships. There's not enough hours in the day for us to do (research) without students."
Because of those experiences, the students become equipped with both knowledge and an interdisciplinary way of thinking.
"One of the things that you can only do in a small setting is to say (to students), 'Now you've got some content, and because you know a little bit, you're dangerous enough to have your own ideas that are based on your own life experiences,'" Professor Madar said. "And you can't really tease that out of students in a large setting, but you can definitely tease it out when you're working with them in small groups and one on one."

Character plays an important role in society. When people lack character, they are often not held in the same esteem as people who do have it. When a building lacks character, it is often considered drab and uncomfortable, which in the long run could make it unsuccessful in fulfilling its purpose.
A new juvenile correctional facility in Fresno, Calif., was not only designed with character — a colorful façade, daylighting and other aesthetic enhancements — it was designed to improve the character of the youths that walk its halls.
As part of the Fresno County Juvenile Justice Campus, the facility is the first component of the master plan that outlines youth services on the site through 2040. Future projects on the 200-acre site include a juvenile courthouse, group homes and a boot camp.
"Presuming in the final hour it is fully built out, it will have the broadest spectrum of juvenile services in a single facility in the state," says Jim Mueller, executive director of KMD Justice and project director for the facility.

Detention and Confinement
The juvenile center is split into two distinct parts, a 240-bed detention area for juveniles who are awaiting sentencing and a 240-bed commitment area for juveniles who have already made their way through the court system and have been sentenced.
Wards in the detention area are housed in self-contained pods with two floors of single cells, classroom and interview areas, fixed centralized tables and a small, outdoor recreation area.
The setting provides a more controlled atmosphere than the commitment area because the wards in the detention area are often unfamiliar with the system and unsure of their futures, according to officials.
"The kids are a lot more apprehensive; they don't know what is going to happen to them," says Rick Chavez, director of the commitment area of the facility.
Facility name: Fresno County Juvenile Justice Campus
Location: Fresno, Calif.
Type: Full-service, campus-style complex with detention, commitment, education, recreation, administration and support components
Construction budget: $112.7 million
Number of beds: 240 detention and 240 commitment; master planned for 1400 Beds
Area: 341,596 square feet
Construction start date: August 2003
Completion date: March 2006, opened July 2006
A school building with classrooms, vocational training areas and administrative offices creates separation from housing and educational areas, providing a standalone facility similar to real-life educational configurations. A circular courtyard with a large lawn is ringed by the buildings and provides an outdoor common area that links housing areas to the school building.
"Instead of walking down the corridor to the housing unit to go to a self-contained school within the building, these kids go outside and walk to school," Mueller says. "They emulate the normal process."
|To create a campus-style layout more conducive to rehabilitation designers utilized colorful paint and green space in outdoor areas.
In addition to the operational benefits, the campus layout — paired with exterior areas that are covered with colorful paint — strays from the conventional image of a large correctional facility.
"The school's scale is broken down so it is not massive and an intimidating part of a single, monolithic structure," Mueller says. "When you drive by the facility, with the exception of the occasional view of some fencing, you would think it is a small community college by its look and scale."
About 35 county education department employees provide programming at the school building and other educational areas. Vocational areas include shop and computer technology courses.
"There was the realization that these are not college-bound kids," says Claude Dechow, project manager for the county. "These are kids that are probably more vocational education-oriented and the school has the facilities to incorporate those kind of activities."
Wards on the commitment side are woken up at 6 a.m. and have about 45 minutes of
|The Fresno County Juvenile Justice campus is located on a 200-acre site. Future projects envisioned in a master plan include group homes, a boot camp, and additional housing and court facilities.
"We found that once we went to a longer school day, we are sort of hard pressed to get everything in now," Chavez says.
Additional Facilities
As with any public building of its magnitude, several support buildings help keep the juvenile center running smoothly. A core administrative building in the detention section provides intake and booking areas, medical facilities and the main control room, which is supplemented with additional control rooms that oversee specific areas of the facility.
A large sally port is a significant improvement over the previous facility, which was located in a more urban area and didn't have enough space for all of the patrol cars that dropped off arrestees.
"We are not tying up our law enforcement folks to get them in the facility," Chavez says.
The medical area is also significantly larger than the previous facility, with four procedural rooms, a nurse's area with charting stations, dental facilities and offices. The master plan outlines room for more expansion in the future.
|The entrance to the visitation area features seating and garden areas.
"It's been a lifesaver for us in terms of energy use and being able to shift energy load at nonpeak times," Dechow says.
The system, which was a relatively new concept when the county was planning the facility, creates a quieter environment than conventional energy sources.
"The maintenance people think it's the eeriest thing that they have ever had because normally you can hardly talk because it's so loud," Dechow says. "If you walk into the facility here, all you hear are water pumps in the middle of the day."
The final component of phase one of the master plan is a juvenile courthouse that is scheduled to begin construction this spring. The courthouse will be one of the first buildings that visitors see as they enter the site.
"It will be the jewel of the site," Dechow says.
In addition to aesthetically appealing aspects of the courthouse, it will simplify the transportation procedure for getting youths to court. Once the courthouse is completed, youths will walk to the facility via an indoor corridor that attaches it to the detention facility. The number of staff required to oversee the transport will drop from 16 to three employees, and Chavez says eventually the process might only require two employees.

"I think kids react positively when it's less congested," says Ollie Dimery-Ratliff, director of the detention facility. "I think it eases a lot of tension for the kids and staff alike."
Dimery-Ratliff says the site of the facility — a rural area away from downtown Fesno — also adds to the environment at the facility.
"Being in a rural area has a calming affect I think, and it kind of settles them down a bit," Dimery-Ratliff says.
Chavez says the facility is an environment that is more conducive to rehabilitating youths and reinforces the proper approach to situations they'll encounter in public places.

Tribe Trounces Patriots, Honors Its Seniors
from press release
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - The William and Mary lacrosse team cruised past George Mason, 18-8, on Senior Day at Martin Family Stadium at Albert-Daly Field on Sunday afternoon.
After leading 9-5 at halftime, the Tribe (3-12, 1-4) scored seven of the first eight goals in the second half to pull away for the victory.
The Tribe utilized a balanced attack offensively, as nine different players found the back of the cage. FreshmanKaleigh Noon led the team with a career-high six points on four goals - coming on just five shots - and two assists. The Baltimore, Md., native also posted a career-best six draw controls. Junior Kyrstin Mackrides recorded four goals as well, while senior Maggie Anderson totaled five points on two goals and a game-high three assists. Sophomore Taelor Salmon also came up big with three points (2g, 1a), while junior Caitlin Murphy scored twice.
Defensively, senior Sarah Mulvey and redshirt freshman Maggie Bermingham both recorded three ground balls apiece, while goalie Lucy Ferguson posted eight saves and five ground balls. Additionally, senior Lauren Binzer, sophomore Hannah Clarke, sophomore Katie Stillwell and Anderson all caused a pair of turnovers.
W&M opened the game well and quickly jumped out to a 3-0 lead less than three minutes into the contest. Stillwell provided the first goal off an assist from Anderson, while senior Stephanie Steinweg added the second goal on an 8-meter opportunity. Murphy tallied the third score off another assist from Anderson.
Although George Mason (3-11, 1-4) answered with a pair of scores, the Tribe rattled off another 3-0 run to build a 6-2 advantage. Dougherty and Mackrides posted the first two goals, while Murphy found the back of the cage off an assist from Noon at the 18:44 mark.
The Patriots responded with back-to-back goals again, but W&M outscored GMU, 3-1, during the remainder of the half to lead, 9-5, at halftime.
The Tribe pulled away in the second half, as it outscored Mason, 7-1, during the first 23 minutes of the stanza to build a commanding 16-6 lead. Noon recorded three goals during the stretch, while Salmon scored twice.
Mason was unable to cut the margin to less than nine the rest of the way, as W&M earned the lopsided victory.
As a team, W&M held a 14-13 edge in draw controls and owned a 23-19 advantage in ground balls. Additionally, the College scored on 18 of its 30 shots for a .600 shooting percentage.
Emily Ellisen led George Mason with five points (4g, 1a) and posted a team-high four draw controls.
The Tribe will close out the regular season when it plays at Drexel and Hofstra next weekend.

SPRINGFIELD – In the 25 years I've covered government, I've seen plenty of tax increases sold to the voters. They're always in support of something noble: education, breast cancer research, economic development, law enforcement, libraries.
The problem with selling tax hikes this way is something called: "fungibility."
That's a fancy accounting term for money being interchangeable.
When I was a kid, I listened to disgruntled adults talk about money from the new state lottery being "stolen" from schools.
Legislators sold the lottery to voters on the premise that the money generated by this voluntary tax would go toward education.
In reality, the money simply replaced tax dollars that legislators would have spent on education, but instead spend on other projects.
When Rod Blagojevich was governor, he and lawmakers did a "fund sweep" that siphoned money in special funds and allowed it to be used for whatever purposes the politicians pleased.
That's how money taxpayers had designated for breast cancer research through the tax form "check off" program ended up being spent elsewhere.
In government, no designated use for a particular revenue stream remains forever sacred.
We can grumble about this fact or just acknowledge that's the way it is.
Over the past couple of decades, I listened to countless ordinary citizens – as well as more than a few elected officials – talk about being deceived when they supported a tax or rate increase but saw the money going elsewhere.
The concept of fungibility of funds remained elusive to them.
Imagine a giant bucket labeled "government" and a group of people standing around it ladling in money and saying in loud voices: "This is for education." "This is for health care." "This is for police."
And now imagine a different group of people coming back to that same bucket four years later and ladling out money and announcing how they will spend it: "This is for pensions." "This is for pay raises." "This is for prisons."
The only thing assured in such a scenario is that people will put money into the bucket and people will take it out. What changes over time is allocation.
For instance, last year Illinois lawmakers jacked up the state income tax by 67 percent.
Shortly after the income tax hike was approved by Illinois lawmakers, Gov. Pat Quinn said: "We have some temporary tax increases that are designed to pay our bills, get Illinois back on fiscal sound footing, and make sure that our state has a strong economy."
Virtually all of the new revenues went toward employee pensions, which the governor didn't even mention.
"In fairness, maybe a little bit went to pay bills," said Rep. Dwight Kay, R-Glen Carbon. "But this was about funding pensions – and it was being proposed by the same people who let Blagojevich skip paying the pensions."
When a tax or fee is raised, it essentially is funding the overall size of government – not necessarily a particular program. When evaluating the merits of a tax increase, it's best to first ask the question of whether you believe government should be expanded.
If you can't say "yes" to that question, it's best to say "no" to the tax increase, no matter how noble the alleged reason for it.
