Wolf Collaring Aids in Disease Research
The best way to track and monitor Yellowstone's wolves year-round is with collars. They are invaluable in monitoring wolves that travel great distances, often in rugged and inaccessible terrain. VHF and GPS collars enable Park biologists to collect important information about individual wolves, wolf packs, and their impact on many components of the ecosystem. In addition to the data collection that collars make possible, there is an added benefit: researchers gather vital information during the capture and collaring process itself.
When individual wolves are helicopter darted and briefly handled for collar placement, researchers can determine size, age, sex, breeding status, and condition of each wolf. They also take blood and other samples for disease research and genetic analysis.
The Yellowstone Wolf Project's disease research is ongoing, and much of it hinges on data gathered during collaring. The blood and other samples biologists extract are analyzed for evidence of parvovirus, distemper, and infectious canine hepatitis. They also perform systematic checks for mange during this opportunity for handling and close visual observation.
Mange on the Rise in Yellowstone
Published studies in 2009 indicate that mange is showing increased prevalence in the Yellowstone wolf population. Mange is an infectious skin disease caused by a mite (Sarcoptes scabei) that causes severe itching and an allergic response. The infected animal scratches and chews its skin for relief, causing hair loss, crusted skin, and open sores, which can lead to systemic infection and risk of hypothermia due to exposure.
Mange has been identified in at least 95 individual Yellowstone wolves over the past nine years. While the disease is suspected as the cause of death in several animals, the good news is that many of the wolves seem to fully recover.
The Wolf Project is closely monitoring this disease, in large part during collaring operations. They hope to begin a study soon that will use infrared cameras during wolf capture to assess heat loss patterns, thereby evaluating the impact and severity of mange in the individual animal more effectively than with the naked eye alone.
Genetic Studies Help Predict Future of Wolves
Annual blood samples taken during collaring operations are also used to study genetic data such as genetic diversity, population structure, parentage and kinship, gene flow, and selection of fitness-related traits. This genetic data combines with ecological and behavioral data to support research on both evolutionary and ecological dynamics in the Yellowstone population.
This genetic data is not only important for gaining a better understanding of the species as a whole, but also the degrees to which subpopulations are genetically structured and connected. Adequate preservation of genetic variation is an important conservation concern. While much of the evaluation of the effectiveness of Yellowstone wolf reintroduction in study areas in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho has been based upon population and breeding-pair counts in those areas, there are equally important genetic factors. Biologists look at the diversity of the wolf gene pool necessary to help predict the long-term health of the wild wolf population in the larger ecosystem.
Read the Yellowstone Wolf Project annual report to learn more about the various studies made possible by wolf collars, as well as additional research relying on direct observation.
Wolf Project Sponsorship
Wolf research and monitoring are critical, but expensive. They involve aircraft, staff time, tracking equipment, and extensive lab and data analysis. One of the most significant ways the Yellowstone Park Foundation has contributed to the ongoing monitoring and research of the Park's wolves is by connecting interested donors with Wolf Project sponsorship opportunities. Through your tax-deductible donation, you can participate directly in ongoing wolf research! Learn more>>

- Abstract
- Helium ion implantation into metals can lead to ordered bubble structures that develop into nanoporous cavity structures at high dose levels. Such cavity structures, and the oxides that can be formed on them, have been investigated previously for materials implanted using ion accelerators. These materials have unique features that offer potential for applications. Here, we investigate pulsed plasma-immersion ion-implantation (PI³ ) as a means of forming nanoporous oxide surfaces on a larger scale. 40 keV helium, and 20 keV oxygen, is implanted into Ti metal and two Ti alloys (including Ti-6Al-4V), and NRA, RBS, HERDA, TEM and Raman spectroscopy are used to characterise the resulting cavity structure and surface oxides. He implantation at a temperature of 160 degrees Celsius produces cavities approx. 2 nm across, in close-packed, apparently random structures. Oxygen implantation into substrates that are not pre-implanted with He, causes significant formation of TiO2 (rutile). Pre-implantation with He causes an increase in the amount of oxide and in the proportion of oxide that is amorphous.

Amarillo city councilmen will consider Tuesday whether giving a financial incentive to an entertainment venue that could top $25 million in construction costs is the ticket to economic development.
The planned venue would provide everything from 10 boutique movie theaters to 16 bowling lanes and an arcade with an agility course suspended above it.

Well, $45 million may sound like a drop in the bucket of $3 billion in bond sales approved by the state, but West Texas A&M University will be glad to get it.
The money will fund the beginnings of an agriculture complex in Canyon and the conversion to a permanent downtown campus in Amarillo.
On top of that, the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Amarillo will receive $7 million for advanced treatment simulation facilities.
The projects are the seeds of further expansion for both institutions.

I just got an email from AccuWeather warning it might be - wait for it - windy and dusty with a chance of grass fires today.
It's well into the afternoon and things aren't so brown, yet. But the email seems concerned. But I know it's coming. It always is.
"Strong southerly winds are expected to rip across the region during the day with gusts up to 40 mph possible. These winds will bring a surge of warm air with them," it says.

Charles Goodnight, preserver of what's now the Official Bison Herd of the State of Texas, just had his 178th birthday March 5, right after the first bison of the herd this year hit the ground Feb. 28 at Caprock Canyons State Park.
Now they aren't really all that cute when they're babies although they grow to look pretty impressive but still not particularly attractive.
Texas Parks and Wildlife expects another 25 calves this spring. That will keep the herd growing. It's reached 85 head so far.

Add Lake Meredith and Alibates Flint Quarries to the drought-parched areas in the Panhandle where outdoor burning is banned.
And since we're dealing with the feds in the form of the National Park Service, the possible fine is $5,000, not $500 like elsewhere like the 13 counties in the Panhandle that have their own bans.
Those counties are: Armstrong, Carson, Castro, Childress, Deaf Smith, Donley, Gray, Hemphill, Hutchinson, Moore, Parmer, Roberts and Wheeler.

No, we haven't got enough rain the last three years to grow crops without irrigation or even much grass for cattle, but Lord, the tumbleweeds are crazy.
We've got them piled up against everything from bushes to fences out in Wildorado. And driving I-40 on a windy day can be like a bad video game with the bad guys flying by everywhere.
But Texas A&M AgriLife Extension reported things were really bad in Dallam and Hartley counties, so I called County Extension Agent Mike Bragg to find out just how bad it was.

It might seem an odd mix, but not one but three Spinning Spurs will be turning on the vast prairie of far West Texas and the U.S. subsidiary of a French firm owns them.

Trucks would take a tollDecember 06,2012
Trucks would take a toll
I was glad to see that the Summer Street truck route has been ended. I would suggest that if or when the issue resurfaces, there are at least two concerns that perhaps were not addressed in this recent consideration, or least I didnt see references to them in newspaper articles.
One: the additional pollutants from the diesel exhaust arising when trucks wait for two additional lights to change, along with the extra time needed to make up to four 90-degree turns. In particular, the Summer Street-Route 14 light has a very long cycle if one is going straight on Route 14. (I trust that that light will either be set to blinking or at least have its computerized cycle changed to an on-demand.)
Two: the necessity of having to resurface (rebuild?) Summer Street. If the truck route is reinstituted, I would expect that street surface would wear down rather quickly. After spending the sum of money thats been spent on North Main Street to create a heavy-wear surface, it seems less than wise to reroute the citys heaviest traffic to a street that was not built for it.

Race Rewind ... In his last appearance at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Menard started the No. 27 Chevrolet from the 27th position and brought home a top-10 finish of seventh, his best effort to-date at the track.
Menard's Thoughts on Racing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway:
"Going to Las Vegas (Motor Speedway) will give us the first true indication of how the new Gen-6 car is going to react. At all the tests we have done with the new car we've seen high speeds. It's definitely been faster than the old car in race conditions. I think there's a good possibility we might see a new track record in Vegas. We're going to the track a day early to test on Thursday, so I really think we are going to learn a lot about how the Schrock/Menards Chevrolet is going to handle. What we gain from the extra day of testing will be crucial to our strategy for the rest of the weekend."
Kevin Harvick
No. 29 Rheem Chevrolet SS
Event Preview Fact Sheet
This Week's Rheem Chevrolet at Las Vegas Motor Speedway ... Kevin Harvick will pilot chassis No. 396 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stable in the Kobalt Tools 400. Harvick last drove this RCR racecar to a 12th-place finish at Chicagoland Speedway in 2012.
Looking for Lady Luck ... Harvick will make his 13th Sprint Cup Series-career start at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this Sunday. Since his first appearance at the 1.5-mile facility, the Bakersfield, Calif., native has earned three top-five and four top-10 finishes. He has completed 99.8 percent (3,220 of 3,225) of laps contested and is credited with 58 laps led. This weekend, Harvick hopes to run across 'Lady Luck' and pick up a win in Sin City as Las Vegas Motor Speedway is one of nine tracks where the RCR veteran driver has yet to visit Victory Lane.
Gotta Have a Rheem ... Rheem Manufacturing Company (www.rheem.com) is privately held with headquarters in Atlanta and U.S. operations in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Indiana, North Carolina and Texas. In its 88th year of operation, the company manufactures a full-line of eco-friendly, technologically advanced residential and commercial heating and cooling systems; tank, tankless, solar and hybrid heat pump water heaters; whole-home standby generators, controls, swimming pool and spa heaters; indoor air-purification products; and commercial boilers throughout North America and world markets. The company's premium brands, including Rheem, Raypak, Ruud and Richmond have been recognized with countless industry and consumer awards for reliability, innovative design and high quality. Rheem is the official heating, cooling and water heating supplier to Richard Childress Racing, and is a primary sponsor of RCR's No. 29 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and RCR's No. 33 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.
2012 Race Rewind ... Harvick and the No. 29 Chevrolet team scored an 11th-place finish in the 2012 Kobalt Tools 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway after starting from the third position and battled handling issues for the majority of the 267-lap affair.
What do you think you'll learn from the test on Thursday and the race in regard to the Gen-6 car?
"I think the cars are obviously really fast because they have more down force. Everyone's anticipation of getting to Las Vegas (Motor Speedway) and getting all of the cars on the race track at the same time is pretty high, just for the fact that no one can tell you exactly what's going on. You really don't know what will happen until you get into 100 percent race conditions. The test on Thursday, and the race, will at least give us a direction of where we need to go after the weekend so we can work on things. It's going to be interesting and we'll see very fast, high speeds."
Jeff Burton
No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet SS
Event Preview Fact Sheet
This Week's No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet SS ... Jeff Burton will race chassis No. 393 this weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This No. 31 Chevrolet was utilized five times during the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season at Auto Club Speedway, Darlington Raceway, Michigan International Speedway, Atlanta Motor Speedway and Kansas Speedway.
Burton in Sin City ... Burton has 15 starts at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with two wins (1999 and 2000), five top-five and eight top-10 finishes, leading 280 laps.
Welcome Kwikset to the RCR Family ...

The Gillette branch supports the mining, petroleum and heavy construction industries. And at the Cheyenne branch, the focus is on-highway trucks and general construction. Our newest location, Rock Springs, is similar to our Cheyenne branch with the addition of serving the oil & gas customers in southwest Wyoming."
Race Rewind 2012 ... After spending a majority of the 2012 event from outside of the top 20, Burton and the No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet team bounced back for a 14th-place finish in the Kobalt Tools 400.
What are your thoughts on driving the Gen-6 car at the first 1.5-mile track of the 2013 season at Las Vegas Motor Speedway?
"We've had a lot of 2013 test sessions at 1.5-mile tracks. There are going to be a lot of questions at Las Vegas (Motor Speedway) for every team. The new Gen-6 cars are really fast with a lot of grip. Goodyear is building better tires than they have ever built while the cars have more downforce and engines have more power than ever. Add all that up and it means we are going to go really fast. Las Vegas is a rough track and not very smooth anymore. There are just so many challenges and unknowns heading into Las Vegas and that's what everyone is worried about. You can test all day long, but it isn't the same as racing. Until everyone brings their best effort to the track, you really don't know where you stand. We feel like we've had good tests, but things tend to be different come race time."

text: I didn't have time to read everything (DD1 wants to take a bath and DD2 wants to nurse!) But I did see that Pedi recommended 12 min per side. I really don't like it when docs recommend that because it can lead to OS issues and/or baby not getting enough hindmilk. I say let her completely drain one side before you offer the other side at all. A lot of babies only need one side per feeding. (both my DDs) Also the more you pump the more your body will not regulate itself to her needs. So only pump if you have to miss a feeding. I'll write more later. DDs are demanding.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.

Flexing the Omnipotent Pipes
God hates Detroit. As if there were any doubts about this fact after watching last year's Detroit Lions, Michigan Wolverines and Detroit Tigers, all you have to do is check the Detroit skyline every October 30 or read the newspapers today. Yes, god hates Detroit but it appears there is a good reason. Detroit hates god right back
And now it also appears that god has decided to flex those omnipotent muscles a little more in smiting Detroit. In the past five days, not only did Dontrelle Willis and Joel Zumaya land on the injured reserve, Gary Sheffield is also looking for a new home. Granted, Sheff has often been a cancer in the clubhouse and both Willis and Zumaya had less than impressive stuff last season. But these are not the kinds of things that Detroit and the state of Michigan need right now
However, I have a couple solutions. Perhaps we just need to butter the big guy up a little. How about a little of this to help out:
Or maybe we just have to really hope that Nietzsche had it right. What I do know is that things can always be worse. At least I'm not a homeless guy in Detroit.
16 Comments
Remember, Julia. God HATES Detroit. Or maybe… maybe he does love them. I mean, Sheff is gone now, right?
I've spent a lot of time in Detroit (most of it accidentally). I remember watching the evening news one time, during a particularly nasty cold streak, and they interviewed several homeless people to see how they were dealing with the cold. I always wondered what their problem was. Most homeless people I know walk constantly. All day, miles and miles, around and around the same circuits. If they would just walk in one direction – southwest, most probably – instead of around in a circle, they would eventually be on the beach. Someday, they'll figure it all out. I can't wait for the Great Homeless Migration along the former Route 66.
Best opening sentence that I've read in a while! And I love Nietzsche! I took an elective on him over the summer. I haven't ever been to Detroit, but I'd like to sometime. Has Willis looked any good this Spring?
Oh Detroit. St. Louis battles it every year for most dangerous city. I remember a few years ago St. Louis came out on top. I was so proud.
Poor Detroit. I have nothing else to say.
Funny story: Some people say the Indians should sign Sheff. This would amusing since according to him his first order of business would be to punch Fausto Carmona and Asdrubal Cabrera. Somehow I don't think that would help his assimilation into the team.
Things can only get better in Detroit. The Willis and Sheffield moves are both steps in the right direction.
That song is very scary. I wonder what happens if you play it backwards. I may have to break out some Doobie Brothers' "Jesus is Just Alright with Me" to get it out of my head.
On a brighter note, Comerica Park does have the best hot dogs, according to my husband….
Yeah, I read that in a book by some Yankee she-fan🙂
Well, at least Detroit isn't under 40 ft of water right now, so there's that…
Hey, when did baseball get an injured reserve? 😉
I was surprised Detroit axed the Sheff man. Plus, it's not really a bad thing Willis is on the DL. I mean do you really want that guy pitching for you? Bonderman, though, he is joining Willis.
Red Sox Ramblings: http://thevendahhh.mlblogs.com
But you guys have that awesome carousel in your ballpark. And the hobo's that panhandle at least say sir and Madam when they ask for money on the way through the parking lot.
And you have Grosse Point, and the casinos, and Windsors adult communit across the bridge. Come on, I was in the airport, it is better than Atlanta' s confusing signs, or Chicagos dirty terminals.
At least you got a chance at getting Jay Cutler now………okay, you might be in the greatest graces with the guy above right now……………but the season begins Sunday officially!!!! Redemption could be close…….
Rays Renegade
Homeless guy or dead guy? Jesus is clearly NOT the dead guys friend.

Two years after the start of Syria's civil war, Lebanon struggles to accommodate Syrian refugees who have settled throughout the country.
When Syrians began fleeing their country's civil war in early 2011, neighboring Lebanon welcomed them into its homes and communities.
Many Lebanese even picked them up at the Syria-Lebanon border to expedite their sudden flight from the violence.
Nearly two years later, though, resentment among their hosts has surfaced as Lebanon struggles to accommodate the 250,000 Syrian refugees who have settled throughout the country.
More than 60 percent of the refugees are now renting their own homes.
But their presence — in hundreds of villages across the country — has depleted supplies in pharmacies, increased competition for jobs, raised the price of housing, and, in some cases, more than doubled the population of certain towns or villages, according to the United Nations.
The Lebanese government opened its public schools to Syrian children. Aid agencies have provided everything from water and sanitation facilities, to food vouchers and monthly housing stipends to Syrian families.
Including refugees, about 811,000 Syrians now live in Lebanon. An additional 450,000 Palestinian refugees live in the country. This guest population of more than 1.2 million equals about one-quarter of Lebanon's citizen population.
And security forces are reporting more crimes involving Syrians, as both aggressors and victims.
To help ease the strain on communities, World Vision is helping to provide food vouchers to as many as 30,000 people.
About 5,900 families have received hygiene kits, blankets, clothes, and other household items. More than 1,000 people received cooking stoves and fuel for three months.
We have also set up Child-Friendly Spaces to provide safe places for children to learn and play.
Also, ongoing community development programs benefit about 50,000 Lebanese people, including nearly 20,000 sponsored children. These projects that provide support for both hosts and refugees help diffuse tension.
In a sign that host countries' appeals for aid are being heard, international donors pledged $1.5 billion to help millions in the region affected by the brutal war, with approximately $1 billion earmarked for Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt.
The remaining $500 million is for humanitarian aid to Syrians displaced inside their country.
It remains unclear when government and donor aid will come specifically to Lebanese host communities, or how it will be distributed.
"We are watching a human tragedy unfold before our eyes," UN humanitarian chief Valerie Amos says.
Pray for Syrian refugees in Lebanon and for Lebanese host communities struggling to support the refugee population. Pray for an end to the conflict so that Syrian families may return home.
Make a one-time gift to help Syrian refugees in Lebanon. Your gift will help us provide basic hygiene kits, food vouchers for refugee families, and established Child-Friendly Spaces to provide affected children with a safe place to play, learn, and interact with their peers.
Give monthly to support children affected by war and conflict. Your monthly donation will help bring assistance to those in greatest need, like trauma counseling, nutritious food, clean water, medical care, protection for children living alone, and more.

Honored by Ancestor Approved Award
I am honored to be the recipient of the Ancestor Approved Award from SouthwestArkie
The Ancestor Approved Award asks that the recipient list ten things you have learned about any of your ancestors that has surprised, humbled, or enlighted you and pass the award along to ten other bloggers who you feel are doing their ancestors proud. Here are the 10 things I have learned from my ancestors.
1. Surprised to find out that my great-great grandmother Sarah Duty Brown taught my grandmother Agnes Laura Keyes, who taught my mother Ruth Sigford to do the Indian shuffle dance.
2. Humbled to receive a copy of of great great grandmother Mary Burns McPheron's recipe for Scotch Shortbread, via her great-granddaughter, a granddaughter of Margaret Burns McPherson Burmeister.
3. Humbled to find a book, Children's Friends, given to my grandmother in 1888. It was tucked away in a box destined for storage, disposal, or whatever. What a wonderful find.
4. Enlightened to find how far back our family history of activism goes in the Burns and McPherson families: the Hecklers of Dundee, the Chatrists and even the Temperance movements of the 1800s,
5. Humbled to be a witness to the recognition and awarding the Congressional Gold Medal to WASP and their efforts on behalf of the nation in World War II, and of my Aunt Gail's efforts as a WASP and also her work in the shipyards prior to joining the WASP.
6. Humbled by the bravery exhibited by the women who followed into new lands, and kept the families in tact in the most difficult circumstances: Sarah Duty Brown, came across the Oregon Trail at 21 years of age and 2 babies; Mary Burns McPherson came from Scotland, to New York, to Wisconsin, following that Scots great-great grandfather, and even my grandmother Elizabeth Alfreda Foss McPherson, who loved a Scots with a wandering heart. These women made a home, cared for children, while following the wild and wandering hearts of their men.
7. Surprised that Oyster Stew, which I thought only my dad and I liked, was a McPherson family favorite from New York, to Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, California, Arizona, Iowa, and to Oregon --- and possibly points of which I know not.
8. Enlightened to find the thread of education coming from the back hills of Tennessee and the flax mills of Dundee, Scotland.
9. Enlightened by my Uncle Ralph's letters; he read six newspapers a day, told me stories of family, and gave me his view of the world around him.
10. Surprised at how many of my ancestors have no one left to tell their story. Enlightened that I have found their lives and stories; Humbled that I have the honor of telling those stories.
The last part of Ancestor Approves is to pass on this award to 10 deserving bloggers;
1. Bonnie at Amore e Sapore di Famiglia
2. Missey at Bayside Blog
3.Amanda at Abt Unk
4. Arlene at Arlene Eakle's Tennessee Blog
5. Patti at Consanguinity
6. Deb at Deb's Genealogy Desk

Esteban Miguel – Phillies Phantasy Camp Umpire
When I stepped up to the plate to take my first at-bat in Camp, the umpire asked me if I was the guy with "the blog". I smiled and said "yes". I then proceeded to watch the first pitch go right by me. I recall looking back and saying, "wow, that was fast".
After Camp, I uploaded my photos from Northeast Photography to my Flickr. I received a message from a man named Esteban Miguel. It turns out that one of those photos featured him during that exact game.
Luckily, it is one of my favorites.
We exchanged some messages and he mentioned how he was thinking of starting his own blog, chronicling his experiences umpiring. Before he gets that incredibly appealing endeavor off the ground, he was gracious enough to answer a few questions for my blog and give me some great insight in to the mind of a baseball umpire.
Sarge: What motivated you to become an umpire? That pressure, people constantly questioning your every decision and move, getting yelled at… that's something people aren't eagerly lining up for.
Esteban: Well what motivated me to become an umpire was some extra money. I started umpiring when I was in high school so I could make some money during the summer. After high school I couldn't play anymore so I just kept going while I worked a regular job. In 2006 I went to the Cooperstown Little League tournament that is held every year. On the first night I was there, an umpire named Dick Wolf, who had been there a bunch of times in the past, gave me a tour. He took me to where the main field was (it was night and the fog under the lights gave me goosebumps). He told me that on championship night, the place is packed with over 3,000 parents, coaches, and players, and that the game is broadcasted through the internet. I promptly told him that I would work the championship game. He laughed and told me that no first year umpire at Cooperstown has ever worked the championship game. I promptly responded with "then I'll be the first to do it." He wished me luck and said that it's a hard road, and that if I had any questions throughout the week, to just ask him. I asked him if he'd come out to see me umpire my first game and evaluate me. He agreed, but I didn't see him until the next day after my two games. When I saw him, he gave me a list of things I needed to work on and I told him that if he came to see me the following day, that they would all be fixed. That night I worked on the list and made sure I wouldn't mess up. The next day, he came to see me and told me to see him after my games. When I saw him he told me that only one aspect of my umpiring from the day before was still a problem, but that everything was fixed. He was impressed. Little did I know that he was in the same bunker as the head umpire from Cooperstown, and that he was listening to everything. The head ump came to see me the next day and was impressed. Apparently my name started to spread around. On the night before the championship game, I was cleaning my shoes, getting ready for the next day when the head ump came in asking if I could cover a game that he needed me ASAP. So I got my gear on and hustled out to the field. When I got back to my bunk I saw a list of assignments for all the games the next day. I started at the bottom to see if I got anything for the top 16 teams. Nothing. Top 8? Nothing. Top 4? Nothing. Then I look at the championship game and my name is on the list. I had the right field line. Nothing glorious but I was in the championship game. I made a few phone calls and was congratulated by some of the people in my bunk. The next morning I was at breakfast when the man from the first night, Dick Wolf, came up and handed me a black MLB umpire hat. "One day you're going to be there." I had a smile from ear to ear. "You worked hard kid, and if you keep it up, you'll get there. You've impressed a lot of people." I wore that hat with pride the whole day. Now the championship game is here and the stadium was packed with about 3,000 people like Dick had said. By the way, he was also working the championship game with me. He had first base. When we were about to walk onto the field, I had those goosebumps again and felt like this is what I want to do forever. At that exact moment I realized that I wanted to be a Major League umpire. For about a week, you couldn't smack the smile off my face.
As far as pressure, getting yelled at, and the constant pressure of people constantly questioning my every decision and move, I tend to ignore what people think they see. 99 percent of the time I'm right. If there's a close call, I'll go back and look at the video and check. I'm almost always right. I don't know how I do it, but I tend to be able to slow everything in my mind and see it more clearly. With the heckling and taunts, I tend to easily ignore them.
S: How long have you been an umpire? Could you give me a timeline of your progress, including umpiring school? What was the highest level you have umpired at?
E: I've been umpiring since i was a sophomore in high school (2000). I graduated in 2002, and worked for some local leagues and travel ball teams. The Cooperstown thing was in 2006, and my first time at umpire school was January 2007. I came just short in my first year. Of the 160 students, I was told I was about 43/160. They only take the top 25 students. I figured if I worked hard on everything I learned, and I go back the next year, I could make it. So i spent all summer working really hard and executing everything I learned in Atlanta, GA working perfect game baseball. I went back to school in January of 2008, and once again, I came up just short. I learned from a friend of mine who was in the minor leagues, and friends with an instructor, that I was about five people short from getting to go to the PBUC (Professional Baseball Umpire Corp). So this time I came in at #30 of 180 students. I was crushed. I've continued to work hard and have been able to work college and high school games. This year was able to work in two actual Major League games. The first was a Blue Jays Spring Training game in Dunedin, FL I worked second base; it wasn't a big roll that I played, but it was still a Major League game nonetheless. Two weeks later, another Spring Training game involving the Phillies.
S: How long have you been doing Phillies Phantasy Camp?
E: 2011 was the first time I've done the Phillies Phantasy Camp. An umpire friend of mine got me in contact with the man who scheduled all the games, and BAM!, there I was.
S: How did you enjoy Phantasy Camp?
E: I loved it for the four days I was there. Everything was very professional and the players were filled with enthusiasm and excitement. I would definitely go back again anytime.
S: I caught one game, and because the last time I did that, I was in Little League, the poor umpire behind me got hit at least a half-dozen times. Do/did you come away from Camp with a lot of bumps and bruises or was my umpire just really unlucky to have me?
E: I can't recall getting hit, but the umpire I was with got hit once or twice. Luckily, it was on the chest protector. Most catchers are pretty good as long as the ball doesn't hit the dirt. When I see that the catcher can't move well, I'll make sure I get out of the way so I don't get pegged all game long. Getting hit is part of the job when you're behind the plate, though so it's not all that bad, especially since we have a lot of gear.
S: In the real world of umpiring… the one that doesn't involve us Campers… who have been, or still are, your favorite players and coaches to deal with on the field… and maybe not so favorite?
E: My favorite players and coaches to deal with are the ones that know that you're not going to get anywhere by arguing with the umpire. The ones I don't like are the ones that aren't as experienced, and feel like they're the know-it-alls, and they argue with you for something small that doesn't really effect the outcome of the game. They usually end up getting tossed and fined. Some of them are funny sometimes too; just the things they say because they are ignorant of the rules. Some think I'm trying to "reinvent the game" or say things like, "you called that ball fair cause you hate me." Yeah, that's right… I called it fair cause because it didn't hit your third baseman's glove five feet in fair territory. I called it fair because I hate you. My favorite is when a wiseass coach comes out with a rulebook. When he does that I toss him right away. That's total disrespect to me, and they usually don't read the whole rule before they come out to me, and find out later that I was right.
S: I'm fascinated with the "art" of the coach/player/umpire argument. What is that exact line someone must cross before you send them to the showers? It seems someone can jaw endlessly without being tossed. Has any Camper ever gotten a little too serious and started something with you or your fellow umpire brethren?
E: As far as the line to cross goes, you can go on and on until you make something personal by adding the words "you" or "you're" or "you all". When you say that, it's grounds for automatic ejection. Phantasy Camp is pretty laid back, so I didn't experience any Campers saying anything. However, Mickey Morandini almost got tossed for arguing balls and strikes, which is another big no-no. I was laid back though, so he got to stay in the game.

So if one object is moving and it hits another object that is stationary, what happens? How can you know in advance what the outcome will be? The answer involves lots of 'Xs' and 'Ys' and 'As' and 'Bs' along the horizontal and vertical axis mixed in with a healthy dose of computational analysis.
Students in Cogswell's "College Physics" class recently spent a lively afternoon loading metal balls into pendulums and launching them into space – or at least as far as the momentum would take them – which was generally over the edge of the counter.
So what does all of this have to do with creating games and animations? One of the glories of these art forms is that things move and are influenced by the world around them. If artists don't understand the theory of motion and other laws of physics, they are less likely to create realistic scenes in their games and films.
In this exercise students are studying projectile motion and collisions using a ballistic pendulum. First they put the ball inside the bucket and then pull the trigger. This sets the pendulum in motion and sends the ball flying. Next students calculate the results by using measurements that include the height the pendulum swings, the speed of the ball's trajectory and the speed and arc of the pendulum.
Cogswell specializes in doing hands-on work and this experiment is just one example of the illustrative laboratory work the College uses to cement theory in the minds of its students.
During the semester students learn the fundamentals of mechanics, fluids and heat with a focus on vectors, translation and equilibrium, acceleration, projectile motion, momentum, uniform circular notion, rotation of rigid bodies, simple harmonic motion, thermal expansion and the thermal properties of matter and wave motion.
Not only to students gain valuable knowledge about how objects move and react to stimuli, they have fun in the process.

School officials and Cletus Bianchi, representing the Facility Advisory Committee shared detailed information about the process that led to the school board's decision to move forward with the proposed project.
Video from the 45-minute-long meeting is now available for viewing at the mySouTex channel at YouTube -- www.youtube.com/user/mySouTex.
The audio visual presentation gives an overview of the project with detailed plans showing a five phase project, which if approved by voters, could be completed within the next few years.
During the Feb. 10 regular meeting, the Karnes City Independent School District (KCISD) Board of Trustees approved the calling of a bond election for the amount of $45 million, for the purpose of expanding the district facilities with new campuses and additions.
"There were three primary concerns that we came up with," said Bianchi as he addressed the board. "The first one is that student growth, specifically at the elementary school, is rapidly expanding. Of course, if it starts at the elementary school it bubbles up into the secondary schools that we have…The other problems we've encountered is that the high school was built in 1960 and is beginning to experience some structural problems…Finally, the junior high has some maintenance issues that will require attention in the not too distant future."
Increasing enrollment and aging facilities are the core concerns for the district. District officials state that the elementary campus has added 130 students within the past ten years, leading to its current total of 554 students, with almost 60 percent of that growth coming during the last four years. Enrollment projections show the campus to be overcrowded within the next five years, according to district officials.
The high school main campus building is now over 50 years old. While the structural problems and issues with that building are age-appropriate, the concern arose about its functionality and stability being sustained within the next couple of decades.
Bianchi presented to the board various architectural plans and ideas drawn up by Lamarr Womack & Associates Architects for the proposed bond projects of the campus expansions and additions.
"The committee recommended that the board call for a bond election to be held on May 10," explained Superintendent Jeanette Winn after the meeting. "The funds would be used to build a new primary grade campus on existing KCISD property located on Browne St. (between Broadway and Mayfield), additional classrooms at the junior high, and a new high school. The secondary schools complex would be built on its current site in phases.
"The total cost for all these projects is $45 million," she said.
Early voting is underway for the bond election and election for Karnes City ISD trustee positions, which is set for May 10.

Tom Cruise's recent track record at the box office has been all over the map. Of course, there have been such hits as "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol." But the star as also endured a few misses ("Rock of Ages") as well as some underperformers, such as "Valkyrie." But one thing about Cruise has remained constant: he always surrounds himself with first rate talent.
His latest film -- "Jack Reacher" -- is no different. Based on the hit crime novels by British author Jim Grant, (writing under the name "Lee Child") the movie was both written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the screenwriter of "The Usual Suspects." The cast includes veterans like Robert Duvall and Richard Jenkins. On paper, at least, the movie has a lot of going for it.
The story begins with a chilling scene of a sniper slowly picking out targets on a Pittsburgh walkway through his rifle scope. But the image of a child in the cross-hairs is incredibly uncomfortable to watch, especially in light of recent events in Connecticut.
After the carnage, the arrested suspect requests a former Army investigator to look into the case. Enter Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher, a guy who "lives off the grid" and is fond of saying things like, "I'm just a guy who wants to be left alone." After some prodding from the suspect's beautiful attorney (Rosamund Pike from "Die Another Day") Jack starts delving into the case and, surprise, surprise, discovers that things really aren't what they seem. He uncovers a big conspiracy involving lots of major-league bad guys.
Cruise moves through the movie adequately enough, but there are too many moments that seem tired and forced. Scenes showing much younger women giving the 50-year-old actor breathless, admiring looks as he passes are difficult to believe. And does he really need to take his shirt off in every movie at this point in his career?
The film does contain some good action scenes, including a car chase through a downtown that has some incredible visuals. The camera is often moving at high speeds just inches from the cars, creating a sense of, "How did they do that?"
A big addition to the movie comes late with the introduction of Robert Duvall as a retired U.S. Marine who owns a gun range. Cruise and the veteran actor have real chemistry together and Duvall has the skill to make some of the frequently awkward dialogue sound witty and believable. That's not the case with actor/director Werner Herzog, who plays the head of a crime gang. There were giggles from the audience when he grimly recites such lines as, "We take what can be taken. This is what we do."
The other actors giving varying performances. David Oyelowo ("Red Tails") is very good as the lead detective on the sniper case and a good foil for Cruise. Richard Jenkins ("The Visitor") is also an excellent actor but his D.A. character isn't given much to do other than keep the audience guessing about possible plot twists. As for Rosamund Pike, she responds to every bit of shocking information by going bug-eyed in order to telegraph her character's surprise.
The main problem with "Jack Reacher" is that it's just an uneven movie. Quite a few of the plot points don't make much sense, and some of the scenes go off in bizarre directions. (Including a bathroom fight that inexplicitly veers off into "Three Stooges" slapstick territory before finishing off with a brutal but original climax.)
"Jack Reacher" isn't bad, it's just that it's been done before and done better.

This folkloric portrayal of Manitoban Crees and Chipewans filmed in 1951 shows the Indians happily doing business with the Hudson's Bay Company.
1. Identify the stereotypical roles being portrayed in the segment at the trading post. How could the portrayal of the Dene hunters have been more authentic?
2. How does the film depict the importance of stewardship to the Cree and Dene of the North, and why is stewardship as important today to our Aboriginal people as it was when the film was made?
Short Description
In 1951, the film captures nomadic Cree and Chippewa hunters accompanied by dog teams in a caribou hunt as they roam the northern Manitoba forests and tundra. Following the hunt, they take the furs to the Hudsons Bay Trading Post for goods exchange.

There are state regulations regarding where state prisoners go when they are released from prison and have no home to go to. If the prisoner is prosecuted in Sullivan County and is homeless upon release, then the prisoner enters the county's Department of Community Services system.
But Legislator Cindy Gieger, working on the issue for over a year along with colleagues such as legislator Cora Edwards, discovered that the county was getting more than its share of homeless prisoners, many of whom have serious mental health issues.
In an interview at the government center on March 7, Gieger said she discovered that the Liberty Police Department gets a list of homeless people who have been released from prisons into Sullivan County from the New York State Division of Parole, so that the police can be aware of who is coming into the county.
In going over the list from 2011, she noticed that the homeless releases were coming from prisons all over the state, even though they had varying previous addresses such as Rochester, Bronx, New Jersey and Ohio. The discharge documents also listed the future address for many of the prisoners as 10 Community Lane in Liberty, which is part of the human services complex.
Enlisting the aid of county attorney Sam Yasgur, she discovered that a recommendation from the state commissioner of parole could also determine the location of release for homeless prisoners. Gieger said that in 2011, 90 prisoners were released into the county and only 16 had been prosecuted in Sullivan County; the reason the prisoners were released in the county is presumably because of a recommendation by the state.
Gieger said, "I don't think Sullivan County was uniquely being identified as a location to release these prisoners to, but my feeling is that other counties were pushing back, and I felt that we needed to set up a meeting with the commissioner of parole and inform him that we are not equipped to take more than 70 releases in a year, because we don't have the housing. We're struggling currently with our homeless housing situation; we put them up in hotels at a tremendous cost. We don't have public transportation so even if you wanted to transition people into the job market, how are they going to get around?"
Earlier in the day, Yasgur said the New York State Division of Parole had agreed to an interview.
Adult homes
Some of those prisoners ultimately end up in adult homes in Sullivan County and, in a related development, Joe Tedora, director of the Department of Community Service, said that a new rule has been created by the New York State Department of Health (DOH) regarding adult homes in some counties, including Sullivan. The rule requires that group homes with 80 or more beds not have a population that consists of more than 25% of residents who have a serious mental illness.
Tedora said, "At present time, we project that about 77% of all people in adult homes have a serious mental illness."
The rule goes into effect in mid May. Adult homes that are impacted, which are the Narrowsburg Home for Adults and the Arcadia Residence in Liberty, must submit a plan to the DOH about coming into compliance. If, after "a reasonable time," they have not come into compliance, they may be fined $2,000 per month per mentally ill resident beyond the 25% limit.
Tedora said the residents are supposed to be released into a facility that can meet their needs, which prompted Gene Benson to say, "Explain that to the people who were affected when they closed down the Middletown Psychiatric Center, explain that to the people when they closed down all the centers around the state, when they closed down Dannemora State Hospital; they put them out on the street."
Tedora said, "Quite frankly, I believe the reason the state has started to slow-step this process is they realized they don't have the community capacity to take these folks out of the adult homes."

Today, SB 770, authored by State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara) passed through the Assembly with a final vote of 51-22. This bill allows workers to receive Paid Family Leave benefits while caring for seriously ill grandparents, grandchildren, siblings, and parents-in-law. The measure, sponsored by Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center (LAS-ELC), and supported by the California Work & Family Coalition, a project of Next Generation, would expand the definition of family to more accurately reflect the caregiving responsibilities of California families.
California's Paid Family Leave Law (PFL) was the first in the nation to provide partial pay to workers taking time off to care for seriously ill family members or to bond with new children. Funded entirely by employee payroll deductions, PFL provides up to six weeks of partial wage replacement benefits per year. However, current law only covers leave to care for a parent, child, spouse, or registered domestic partner. In other words, employees may not receive Paid Family Leave to tend to an ill sibling, grandparent, grandchild, or parent-in-law. Read the complete press release here.
