psychic John Edward, of Crossing Over with John Edward fame is crossing
over into another dimension through a deal with Studios USA Programming to
develop a primetime drama series to be aired fall 2002
Edward, who hosts the ever popular Sci-Fi Channel series "Crossing Over With John Edward," will play a man who wrestles with the ramifications of his psychic gift, leaving a career in medicine to examine his spirituality and how it intersects with the law.
Edward is co-creator of the untitled project, produced through his JECO Prods. banner and Studios USA, also home to "Crossing Over." Edwards' manager/producing partner Gina Rugolo will be a co-executive producer.
Edward has gained fame as a medium during the past few years on the strength of his television series and best-selling books "One Last Time" and "What If God Were the Sun?" "Crossing Over" was a hit for Sci Fi from its debut in July 2000, and it ranks as the top new strip of the 2001-02 season since it premiered in syndication in August 2001
The Long Island, N.Y. native maintains that he became aware of his psychic abilities while in his teens. Edward's TV show revolves around his efforts to reunite guests with deceased loved ones who have "crossed over."
John Edward, exhibited psychic abilities from an extremely early age, and was deemed "special" by many in his family. The fact that he would uncannily know family history and events that took place prior to his birth solidified that fact. Because no fuss was made over these early experiences, he maintained as normal a childhood as possible. Since psychic phenomena was accepted by his family. John graduated college with a degree in Public Administration and Health Care Administration. He maintained a management position in a leading health care facility in the Northeast, and always continued his research, lecturing, teaching, readings, and writing in the field of parapsychology. Due to the large demand for his time and ability, John now devotes his time to pursuing his psychic work full time.
John still resides in Long Island, New York, with his wife Sandra and their two Bichon Frises, Jolie and Roxie.

Dawson Geophysical wants permission
to do seismic testing on my land!
What should I do?
Update September 2011, now ION is coming to Preston County (click for info)
Update August 2011, The experience of one landowner in Upshur County who signed a permit
Updated June 15 and 30, 2010 with important information about:
What we understand is happening: (Correct us if we have mistakes or if you hear more):
Dawson Geophysical has been contracted/authorized by at least Chesapeake Energy, and perhaps other gas producers in the area, to conduct both 2D (two dimensional) testing in a straight line, and 3D (three dimensional) testing over 80 square miles of southern Upshur and a bit of Randolph and Lewis counties.
For 3D testing, we understand that their goal is to drill rows of 3 inch diameter holes 20 feet deep (though some rumors say 50 feet deep) approximately every 190 feet going east - west. The rows will be parallel 1500 - 1700 feet apart north and south. At the bottom of each hole will be 2.2 pounds of ammonium nitrate explosive. If you have over 4 acres of surface it is likely they will at least want one charge on you. There will also be geophones placed over the area and wired together in order to record the sonar-like returns when the explosives are set off. There will be wires and cables hooking things together over the entire grid area. The charges may be set off by wires or radio waves. A survey crew will come through first to stake locations for the holes and geophones. (If one of those stakes is at a location near a water well, an underground pipeline, or a foundation etc. call and complain, and keep a diary of what happens.) To drill the holes, helicopters will lift portable drilling units to crews working on the ground. (Click here to read an article from the Wetzel Chronicle about similar testing conducted in Wetzel County in 2009.)
For 2D testing they are going in one straight line of explosive charges and geophones for a much longer distance.
Citizen concerns:
The most significant thing about this is that it means the Chesapeake and others believe that the Marcellus Shale is thick enough and rich enough in the area to seriously investigate a Marcellus Shale (or other shale) drilling program here.
A major Marcellus Shale drilling program will have a huge impact on the community even for people who have no drilling on them. Roads are going to be impacted by hundreds and hundreds of huge tractor trailer truck loads of water sand and powerful drilling equipment. It will punish the roads and crowd them too, making it difficult and even more dangerous for other users, like school buses. For more on that go to the web site of the Wetzel County citizen group that has already had to deal with these problems http://www.wcag-wv.org/ and to web sites in Pennsylvania such as http://extension.psu.edu/naturalgas that are further ahead than West Virginia in dealing with all of this. Sadly, there will only be a scattering of jobs for local West Virginians. Most of the drilling companies are bringing in workers from Oklahoma and Texas making business for motels, but not much hiring.
If you own only the surface, this could mean heartbreaking use of your surface to get the gas out. Fortunately they will probably be using horizontal drilling using centralized well pads for y or more wells, reducing the number of well pads necessary, but there will still be lots of impact, and extra impact on the surface where the 6 plus wells are drilled. (Look elsewhere on the WVSORO web site for more information on horizontal drilling.) If you own the surface and the minerals and a lease has already been signed, it could mean that there will be use of your surface, but you may get significant royalty income. If you own surface and minerals and a lease has not been signed, you can decide whether you want the royalty and the associated surface use.
If they are right that this is a good Marcellus are, there will be lots of wells. If you own both the surface and minerals and no lease has been signed for your tract, you should go to the leasing page of this web site. If you are a surface owner , or if there has already been a lease signed that does not give you the protections that you would like, you should start getting ready now. Here's what you should do:
More immediate concerns:
Your legal rights.
This is a massive project. Although some say they are finding out who owns what before coming to surface owners, we have also heard that they are asking everyone on the surface for permission to do the work without necessarily investigating to see whether the surface owners own the minerals or have leased them, or if there is a lease from the surface owner or a mineral owner, who owns the lease. It may be cheaper for them to pay $3 an acre to everyone than it is to check all the titles of all the tracts of surface land in order to see if they already have permission (see below). If they do run into an unwilling surface owner and they feel that they have the right to use the surface based on permission from the mineral owner or a lease, and if they feel they need permission for that land, they have sued.
Situation #1. If you own the surface and minerals and no lease has been signed, they cannot come on to your land without your permission. You can just say "No," and there is nothing they can do. They do not have eminent domain to do this. (They can walk across your land etc. unless it is "enclosed" or "cultivated" or unless you put up "No Trespassing" signs or unless, if you see them, you ask them to leave.) (Note that the explosions they shoot off near your land, using 3D seismic techniques, will tell them something about the formations under your land. They may not even be able to retain or give out the information they learn about what what is under your land. If you are worried that, for examp[le, they will find out that your minerals are not all that great, reducing their value to lease, you should contact a lawyer.)
Situation #2. If you own surface and minerals and a lease has been signed, the company that currently has that lease (or its agent/contractor) can come onto your land to do geophysical testing that was permitted by the lease or that only causes surface disturbance that was in the contemplation of the parties at the time of the lease (more on that last phrase later). However, WVSORO believes that they cannot do 3D testing on your land to find out about the minerals under other people's land without your express permission. More on that under Situation #3.
Just because someone has the right to do this does not mean that just anybody can come on to your land. It has to be the person with the mineral owner's lease, not just someone who believes they are. Unless the person doing the testing can show you the lease, can show you that the person that signed the lease once owned your land, and can show you the chain of the assignments of that lease that means they now own the lease (or they work for whomever does), then they cannot come onto your land without your permission. (But note that if that lease is owned by Exxon, and Chesapeake wants to do the testing, then Chesapeake can do the testing if they show you a piece of paper in which Exxon says they gave Chesapeake permission to do the testing.) If they do not do that and they come onto your land, and you ask them to leave and they do not leave, then they are trespassing. If someone is trespassing and you call a law enforcement the officer, the officer should ask them to leave and tell them it is a civil matter to be settled in the courts.
Situation #3. If you own the surface but not the minerals, and if the mineral owner signed a lease, then the company that currently has that lease (or its agent/contractor) can come on onto your land to do the seismic testing:
1) If what they are doing only causes surface disturbance that is "fairly necessary" and that was in the contemplation of the parties (more on that phrase later) at the time that the ownership of the surface was separated from ownership of the minerals,
2) If it was set out in the lease from the mineral owner (although if it was not set out in the lease they can go back to the mineral owner(s) and get permission – if they can find them all). Again this does not mean that just anybody can come on to your land – its got to be the one with the lease/permission (See Situation #2 above.), and
3) IF (and this is the most important "if") they are testing the minerals under your surface! WVSORO has recently come upon legal authority for the position that they cannot use your surface to test the minerals under neighboring lands (unless they were part of the same tract at the time that the ownership of the minerals and surface that became your tract were separated). In essence, WVSORO believes that this means that they cannot do 3D testing on your surface without your permission. The law is not absolutely clear. There is no statute on this, and there has not been a test case in West Virginia courts, but according to treatises on they law, this is what the law is.
Note however that if the minerals are owned by more than one owner (whether they own just the minerals or also own the surface with the minerals), then Chesapeake/Dawson can come on to your land to do the seismic exploration even if they only have the permission of one of the owners of the minerals. They cannot drill and produce unless they have the signature of all of the mineral owners, but just one owner is allowed to have someone investigate what that owner has a share of. So Chesapeake/Dawson only needs the permission of one of the mineral owners to proceed with the seismic testing.
Contemplation of the parties. Does it apply here to keep them from doing 3D seismic?
What does, "contemplation of the parties" mean? That term was used several times above.
When ownership of the coal was first separated from ownership of the surface, only deep mines were used to produce the coal. Later when strip mining started, mining companies tried to strip mine using based on the old deeds. The Court ruled that since strip mining was not in the contemplation of the parties at the time of the severance, the surface land could not be strip mined.
That theory has been applied in other circumstances. Could that theory could apply to prevent 2D or 3D seismic exploration for oil and gas? The mineral owner may be is allowed to do what is "fairly necessary" to the surface, but if the severance of the oil and gas from the surface took place before this kind of seismic was known, or if the lease was signed before it was known, then it could be argued that it is not permissible because the surface disturbance is greater and not in the contemplation of the parties. However, the disturbance caused by this seismic is nothing like the difference between deep coal mining and strip mining. This theory could possibly work to deny seismic activity, but it is much more likely to work in a situation where, for example, they try to put a drilling pad for 6 or 8 Marcellus Shale wells on surface that was severed in 1899. There is a little more about this in the West Virginia Surface Owner's Guide to Oil and Gas.So keep this theory in mind if they really come to drill on you, and you can try to use it to stop geophysical, but it is probably a tough case.
What should I say and what should I not say?
Do NOT say anything that MIGHT be taken as a threat to "breach of the peace" – you know what we mean. If you do that, and if they take you to court, you will not be well received by the Judge.
If you are in situation #1, you can just say, "no,", or you can sign the permit/consent form with whatever conditions you can negotiate. If you say, "no," and they come on anyway, take pictures and call the law.
In situations #2 and #3, for 2D testing, you can simply say, "Prove to me that you are the one with the right to come on to my land, and I will not interfere." You do not have to sign the permit/consent form if you do not want to. Do NOT threaten to stop them if they have reasonable proof that they are the ones with the right to come on to your land, at least for 2D. That will give them an excuse, if you end up in court, to at least sue you for damages. They may or may not pursue those damages, but you will have handed them a huge bargaining chip/leverage.
In situations #2 and #3, for 3D testing, WVSORO believes with good legal authority that you can just say,"No" -- that they cannot use your surface to test the minerals under neighboring tracts (that were not part of your surface tract at the time the ownership of the minerals). If you end up getting sued over this issue please contact us and we may be able to help you.
In all situations, follow the advice we give all surface owners in any dealings with oil and gas companies. Keep a diary of all conversations and other communications with the oil and gas companies, their representatives or contractors; get names and phone numbers. Do not get into a heated argument with the person who approaches you. If you are not getting anywhere, or if the other side is misbehaving, simply ask to speak to their supervisor; and if that does not work, get on the Internet, and call the company president and work your way down to their supervisor. Also take lots pictures from different angles, from close up and way back, and from this side and from that side -- before, during and after – it is very hard to argue with a picture.
What if there is damage to my property?
Note that the permit/consent form says that they agree to hold you harmless if someone else sues you over the work they are about to do. That is different from agreeing to reimburse you for damages they do to YOU!
If you are in situation #1, #2, or #3, and if you signed a permit and agreed to take $3 an acre, and if there is disturbance to the surface etc. that occurs from the normal, expected course of their work, then $3 an acre is probably all you are going to get. They are probably going to take the position that this is what they paid you $3 an acre for.
If you are in situation #1 and you did not sign a permit, they should not be there at all. If any damages occurs to your land from what they do on a neighbors land, see a lawyer.
If you are in situation #2 or #3, and if you did not sign a permit, and if there is disturbance to the surface etc. that occurs from the normal, expected course of their work, then they are probably going to take the position that you are not entitled to any damages. They will say that they had the right to do the work as part of their right to explore for and produce the gas, and they only did what was in the lease (situation #2) or what was "fairly necessary" (situation #3) and they do not have to pay you anything. They might at that point still agree to pay you $3 an acre. However, if they do 3D testing, then you may be entitled to compensation for damages to your surface, and maybe double damages, and maybe more, see a lawyer. And as stated above you might be able to argue that they are doing something that was not in the lease (situation #2) or not "in the contemplation of the parties" at the time of the severance (situation #3), and so you should be entitled to damages. We are not ruling that out, but we doubt if a lawyer will take such a case on a contingent fee basis.
However, you probably will be entitled to damages if the blasting causes problems, or if they are negligent in the other things they do. Also, if you are in situation #2 and they do more than the lease provides, you may be entitled to damages. Finally, if you are in situation #3, and they do more than was fairly necessary you should be entitled to damages. So if there is surface or other damage because they were negligent, or did more than was "fairly necessary" or did not perform in a workman like manner, or as a result of the blasting, or if the did 3D testing, they would have to reimburse you, . If they will not, see a lawyer.
If I sign their permit/consent form, is there anything special I should do?
You should insist under the "conditions" section of the permit that they give you notice before they come onto your land to survey and to drill the holes, and when they are going to set off the charges – and give them a way to contact you. Let them know if there are water wells, pipelines, foundations on the land and tell them as best you can where they are located. You can try to say that they have to reimburse you for damages done, but they make take the position that what the $3 is for and not accept that condition.
If you have questions, WVSORO might be able to answer them. If you have serious damages, you may want to go straight to a lawyer.

Pressemitteilung/Press Release
Press Release of 6 March 2013
Germany slips to third largest exporting nation - nevertheless, exports have never been as important to the country as they are today
Since last year, Germany has not even been runner-up in visible exports. It has been overtaken by China, and now the US, on the list of the most prolific global exporting nations. But does this mean losing more than just an attention-grabbing title? Are exports becoming less important to Germany? A closer look at structures and trade patterns shows that in fact the opposite is true. Exports have never been as important to the German economy as they are today. The Federal Republic of Germany is much more dependent on exports than countries of comparable size, and their economic significance has increased considerably in the last decade. In 2012, Germany exported goods worth a total of 1.1 trillion euros, corresponding to a record 44 percent of its gross domestic product. Although Germany remains the strongest exporting country in Europe, the importance of the euro area as a sales market has been waning since 2000. The economic community has also lost relevance for other EU countries, as it proved to be comparatively less receptive even before the crisis. However, the German economy has stemmed the decline in sales in these markets by compensating with growth in Asian markets-primarily China-and trade with new EU member states. In addition to broadening the export base, product groups are becoming more diversified. While machinery and vehicles still account for almost half of German exports and easily make the largest contribution to the foreign trade surplus, other product groups, such as chemical products, have been playing an increasingly crucial role for years. Overall, German foreign trade is dominated to a large extent by complementary trade relationships: in particular, exporting technically complex and knowledge-intensive industrial finished goods and importing agricultural products and raw materials.

Graphics card maker PowerColor, a subsidiary of Tul Corp., said Thursday it would add a yet another cut-down ATI RADEON 9800-based graphics card into the lineup. The firm will from now sell two RADEON 9800-series products with 128-bit memory bus, two times more narrow compared to the original RADEON 9800 specifications.
Tul Corp. now offers two graphics cards powered by ATI RADEON 9800 visual processing unit with 128-bit bus under its PowerColor brand: RADEON 9800 Platinum Edition and RADEON 9800 PRO EZ. The RADEON 9800 Platinum Edition and PRO EZ graphics cards from PowerColor feature fully-fledged RADEON 9800 PRO graphics processor with 8 rendering and 4 geometry pipelines, but are based on PCBs similar to that of the RADEON 9500 PRO – with 128-bit memory bus for 128MB of DDR SDRAM memory.
The original RADEON 9800 PRO 128MB graphics cards were clocked at 385MHz/680MHz for chip/memory and equipped with 128MB of DDR SDRAM with 256-bit bus. The cut-down PowerColor's RADEON 9800 graphics card operates at 380MHz/600MHz for chip/memory.
Cutting down the memory bus width to 128-bit from 256-bit is likely to seriously reduce performance of the graphics card in applications that rely on rapid memory access as well as in situations when full-scene antialiasing is enabled.
Tul Corp. is not the first company to offer RADEON 9800-class graphics cards with 128-bit bus. Earlier this year Sapphire Technology started to produce RADEON 9800 PRO "128-bit Edition" product, but after facing condemnation from a group of computer enthusiasts renamed its product into "RADEON 9800 128-bit Edition". Club 3D also offers RADEON 9800 LE graphics card with 128-bit memory bus. It is unclear why PowerColor calls its cut-down product with "Platinum Edition" brand-name that marks current RADEON X800 XT high-end offering from ATI Technologies.

Sills Hall and Smith Auditorium
McKIM, MEAD AND WHITE
Attention to the campus and buildings had been delayed by World War II; because of the war, the Sesquicentennial of 1944 was a modest celebration. After the war the Sesquicentennial Fund was launched, and plans were made for new college facilities. The most dramatic outcome of this activity was the 1948 rerouting of Harpswell Street which led it through the Pines to Federal Street. The old Delta where Adams Hall and the baseball diamond stood was united with the rest of the campus. What is now Sills Drive was built by the College with the approval of the town of Brunswick. This bold move made it possible to develop a new area of the campus. The President's Gate was moved and placed to allow automobiles access to the new cross-campus road.
No new classrooms had been built since 1894. In December 1948 the faculty committee for a new classroom building was appointed, as was the committee of the Governing Boards, chaired by Harold L. Berry '01. It was natural, by now, to turn to McKim, Mead and White for designs for the classroom building and the new chemistry building.
Ground was broken for Sills Hall in October 1949 after a several-months' delay to rework the plans. The following September the new building was dedicated, and in May 19 51 James Kellum Smith, the architect for McKim, Mead and White, was given an honorary degree for his work on this and other buildings at Bowdoin and at other colleges. It was not until two years later that the building was named for Kenneth Charles Morton Sills, who had announced his retirement.
During the early planning stages the Orient reported: "In view of the importance of visual education, and as a provision for larger classes, the committee also hopes that an annex may be added to the new building as soon as possible, containing a two hundred seat auditorium."1 The final plans did include the Smith Auditorium.
President Sills had once remarked that money tended to come from unexpected sources. Such was the case with the Francis, George, David, and Benjamin Smith Fund, left to Bowdoin from the estate of Dudley F. Wolfe in 1941. Mr. Wolfe, who died scaling K-2 in the Himalayas, was from Rockland and a graduate of Harvard. The fund honors his grandfather, Benjamin Smith, and his great-uncles, Francis, George, and David Smith. The sum of $150,000 came to the College in 1941 with the stipulation that it be used for a building or kept as a fund. The war intervened, so that an appropriate building was not built until 1950.
With the new space acquired by rerouting Harpswell Street and the strong axis provided by the campus drive, the architect planned another, smaller, quadrangle for the new classroom building and the new chemistry building. It was decided to run Sills Hall parallel to Bath Street and place Smith Auditorium at a right angle, making an L-shaped building. One entrance faces Adams Hall, and the second is on the south flank. The Sills building block is two stories high, while the Smith block is one story. The transition is handled by the recessed, arched entranceway on the south side. Tall, round-arched windows recessed in the brick wall line the first stories of each block, providing visual continuity.
The western entranceway is also arched, a stylistic feature often repeated in the work done for Bowdoin by McKim, Mead and White. A parapet, rather than the more sculptural balustrade of the Moulton Union, crowns the roofline. The tripartite window over the entranceway and the splayed lintels argue for some Federal influence, while the door itself is difficult to place. This facade owes something to the oldest dormitories but lacks two stories.
The south flank is more interesting, with some generosity of proportion and courting of light and shade, its original effect now rather obscured by trees.
It was reported in the Orient that the architect wanted to lower Adams Hall to make it conform with the new building.2 This must have been the time when the trim on Adams was painted white and the grey-brown paint of the quoins and window surrounds was allowed to weather and almost disappear.
Today Sills houses the Departments of Classics, Education, German, Romance Languages, and Russian. The Language Media Center, a speech center, and the film library are also here.

I'd like to take a moment to plug a fellow phan Chris's great blog, where he compares and critiques all the AUD sources on bt.etree.org for a given show.
He is certainly rocking better playback equipment than I have, but I can say that after doing my own comparisons via some high quality noise-cancelling headphones plugged into my iMac, I am almost always in agreement with Chris's top picks. The tapers provide us a great service by acquiring and sharing the music, and Chris provides a great service to the legion of fans that might not have the time, hard drive storage, playback equipment, or confidence in their ability to objectively compare AUD sources when there are so many to choose from. While the tapers' section at today's Phish shows is a shell of its former size, the pulls we do get are uploaded in rapid fire succession days after the performances, which is amazing but can also make it overwhelming for some of us.
Chris helps by doing the yeoman's work of source comparisons and shares his thoughts with us, helping us to avoid the classic only-grab-the-first-pull-available-and-hope-it's-a-keeper trap.

Weeds and bad habits
By Irene Conlan –
Arizona had more than its annual average rainfall in the first two months of the year. Put water on the desert and it blossoms and this year it is spectacular. The cacti are in bloom with the brilliant colors only an arid desert can produce with a little water.
My front yard, however, is spectacular in a different way – weeds. Dandelions took over while I was away for those two weeks and when I returned my yard looked like a jungle. It was definitely not a pretty sight. I was a little annoyed with my son for not taking care of it – and then I discovered what he had been battling.
These are not ordinary weeds. They are monster weeds. This is the absolute truth. We went out every day last week to work on the yard and discovered that if we remove all the weeds in the morning we have of them by afternoon. And not only have they appeared but they have grown to at least an inch in height. No kidding. I would never have believed it if I hadn't seen it first hand.
I think they are under control now but it will probably be a daily war of the weeds for the rest of the summer. Dandelions thrive when the temperature goes beyond 100 degrees, going to seed quickly so thousands more of them sprout downwind. It will be a busy summer.
Unwanted habits are a lot like weeds. You pull one out and two take its place. (or so it seems). You stop smoking, for instance, and you eat more so now you have a weight problem. Yikes! You stop biting your nails but start twisting your hair and grinding your teeth as your stress level increases. Your work on procrastination causes you to lose your temper because you feel so rushed.
But wait, there's more (as they say in infomercials). It doesn't have to be like that. To overcome a habit you need to do the same thing you do with weeds.
Start with making strong decision to get rid of the habit. This is important because in the beginning, it may seem like more work than you wanted. Once you have that decision made then:
- Make a plan. What is the best strategy for overcoming the habit? Do your research. What you would do to curb overeating won't be the same as what you do to stop procrastinating and what you do to stop smoking will differe from what you do to stop biting your nails.
- Get the tools you need. For weeds I needed a hula hoe and some weed killer. For smoking you will need hypnosis, the patch, the pills or sheer cold-turkey determination. To stop biting you nails you may need something to paint on your nails that tastes awful, a manicure, or acrylic nails for a length of time.
- Become aware of what triggers the habit – stress, a reminder of something in the past that started the habit, etc.
- Find healthy substitutes for the old undesirable habit; e.g., if you crave a cigarette because you're used to having something in your hand when you talk on the phone, keep a bottle of water handy. The same works for snacking when you're not hungry.
- Visualize what you life would be like without the habit. You will not have the taste of cigarettes in your mouth or the smell of stale tobacco on your clothes and you will have a new lease on life (literally) if you stop smoking – imagine what that would be like for you. If you stop overeating, see yourself as slender and healthy. See lovely hands and nails if you stop the nail biting. Whatever the habit is, see and feel what it would be like once the habit is gone.
- Give it time. It generally takes three weeks – 21 days – to overcome a habit or replace it with a new healthy habit. Every day you succeed, celebrate. If you mess up, don't beat yourself up. Start over – yes, at day one. But it is so worth it.
Once the habit is stopped or replaced with a new desirable habit stay on the alert like you do when you're looking for more dandelions. At the first sign of weakness, take action. Don't allow yourself to go back to the old way of reacting. Pull that weed of old behavior out now and don't let it re-seed.
Cleaning out the weeds in the yard looked like an impossible task to me just like stopping an unwanted habit may look to you. But the end result? Absolutely worth it. Don't let the thought of it intimidate you. Start now.

Project ID: 2005TX195B
Title: Assessing the Potential of Zero-Valent Iron to Reduce Perchlorate and Nitrate Mobility in Soils
Project Type: Research
Focus Categories: Groundwater, Water Quality, Treatment
Keywords: nitrate reduction, zero-valent iron, groundwater contamination
Start Date: 03/01/2005
End Date: 02/28/2006
Federal Funds: $5,000
Non-Federal Matching Funds: $19,615
Congressional District:
Principal Investigators:
Omar R. Harvey
Cristine Morgan
Perchlorate is a major groundwater contaminant of concern in Texas and its presence has been documented in various regions of the state. Perchlorate poses significant challenges because of its mobility and because it can result from natural processes as well as human activities. This project will evaluate the ability of zero-valent iron to chemically reduce perchlorate, nitrate, and other chlorinated organic contaminants from soils and groundwater formations. The project will determine how iron production in soils affects the reduction of perchlorates, nitrate, and ammonia in soils. The study will also quantify the extent to which perchlorate and nitrate are reduced as a result of iron application rates, and will estimate the longevity (the reducing life) of zero-valent iron in soils. Other aspects of this study will determine the possible fate of residual zero-valent iron and the products of reduction, and will develop a mass balance equation for perchlorate, nitrate, and chlorinated organic pollutants. The study will ultimately provide useful design parameters for plot- and field-scale studies.

When a hometown boy won the World Freeskiing Championships last winter at Kirkwood, the victory confirmed what Tahoe locals have always known: Kirkwood is a world-class playground for steep-and-deep extreme skiing. "There is a long tradition of hard-charging skiers flocking to Kirkwood," says Kirkwood skier and Outside Television personality Todd Offenbacher. Kirkwood has always enjoyed a cult following among California skiers.
Now, thanks to its recent acquisition by Vail Resorts, the 'Wood is poised for greater fame. Kirkwood is a skier's dream. Don't expect rollicking nightlife, upscale lodgings, or high-speed lifts. It offers great beginner and intermediate terrain (the Timber Creek area and the back side, respectively), but like Crested Butte, Jackson Hole, and Squaw Valley, Kirkwood is defined by its steeps. Frontside lifts whisk skiers 1,600 feet up to a ridgeline that drops into double-black chutes and bowls. To skier's right is The Cirque—guided-only, no-fall terrain. "It's like the wild West," says Cat Keenan, who moved to South Lake Tahoe seven years ago to ski Kirkwood. "Lots of open spaces, lots of drops and features. There are days when it is 2 p.m., it's dumping, and the only tracks you see are your own."

Tucked into a horseshoe-shaped valley at 7,700 feet in the High Sierra, Kirkwood is a perennial contender for snowiest resort in North America. Locals call it The K Factor: a disposition for gargantuan maritime storms that pile up to four inches an hour and can drop 10 feet over two days. Many locals have stories of being snowed in overnight, waiting for plows to clear roads and patrollers to open the mountain. When the avy danger is past, it's go time. Kirkwood opens sequentially on powder days, starting with Chair 6 and Chair 10 and then the back side. Skiers who are tuned in and willing to bypass lightly skied terrain can get phenomenal lines. Bay Area venture capitalist Todd Francis recalls a mid-March storm last winter: "We hit first tracks all day long, working the ridge, Eagle Bowl, Vista, the Palisades. The sun was shining; the snow was cold and flowing over our shoulders. It was one of those times when we said, 'This is as good as B.C.'" But Kirkwood's greatest assets—its deep snowpack and out-there location (35 miles and two mountain passes from the lake)—are its greatest challenges. When the skiing's best, the drive is scariest. Kirkwood is also off the grid, powered entirely by generators. "Kirkwood is an outpost, a base camp," says Offenbacher. "You have to want it." But a word to the wise: "Be careful whose tracks you follow," Offenbacher says. "Otherwise you can get yourself into a world of trouble."

Unless the Pittsburgh Steelers want to muddle through another .500 season, they'll need to shake up their personnel in 2013.
Veterans, drafted rookies and undrafted rookies will come together in training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa., on July 26.
Several of those players will have to fight to keep their jobs. Subpar performances in previous seasons or injuries have put these seven players squarely on the Steelers' roster bubble.
Any of these players who fail to make an impression in training camp will be called into Steelers coach Mike Tomlin's office.
And he'll be told to take his playbook with him.

'The Challenge' Recap: Free Agents 'A Walk In The Clouds'
"Free Agents" is all about the power of the individual competitor. Although the players were paired up and put in groups during many of the challenges, in the end it was really up to each person to make their way to the final through skill, politics, and strength. In most other seasons, you have to depend on the same team throughout the whole season to get you to the end. However, in this last final the competitors have to depend on three different teammates to make it through some of the toughest challenges. When we last saw the challengers, they were kayaking down a rough river with their first teams. Here's a rundown of how each player managed individually during the final:
If there was a prize for funniest player, Devyn would win hands down. Her commentary was one of the highlights of the season. Her strength as a political player helped her get to the end. But as a competitor, she could never compare to her rivals. The question wasn't whether she'd win, but rather if she'd finish at all.
Partnered with Zach, Devyn recovers quickly from her fall in the river. They predictably are in last place. Zach is practically in tears when they reach the finish line. "The next challenges could be eating and sleeping. Devyn's really good at those," he says. It's not exactly fair to blame her for the boat tipping over. Devyn survived partnering up with Crybaby Zach without getting pushed or cruelly berated, so she has a leg up on some of his other partners.
It's clear that all the men see partnering up with her as the ultimate obstacle to their big win, but she exceeds most expectations. For somebody with so little athletic skill, Devyn spent very little time complaining or threatening to quit (unlike Zach.) As Bananas partner, her puzzle-solving skills allow them to be the only team to finish the puzzle before the time running out. With Johnny, she trudges up a difficult mountain with tenacity.
When it gets time for the individual sections of the final, neither of the girls see Devyn as a remote threat. On the stationary bike, she's left alone to finish her 25 miles, taking an hour longer than everybody else. Unlike Nany, she never threatened to quit, even though she clearly wanted to. It takes a cold heart not to feel for her when she sobbed on the bike, as her competitors all laughed about her from their tent.
The next morning, TJ announced that if the players didn't reach the finish line, they wouldn't make a penny, which may be a first. The final task was to climb a snowy, active volcano. Again, Devyn felt like quitting, but pushed through. Her persistence throughout the final was impressive. How many non-athletic people can say they climbed a volcano in less than 5 hours? Even TJ—who probably hates quitters more than anything in this universe—couldn't help but be impressed.
Has any competitor ever fallen apart more dramatically at the final challenge than Zach? Although the Thor-lookalike has never been known for his level-head, his meltdown on this challenge reached epic proportions. He wasn't off to a good start when he had to be rescued from drowning in the river. This set back may have put him on course to breakdown, especially since he snaps at Johnny and Nany when they congratulate his team for finishing.
For the second part, Zach is teamed with Nany. They finish right behind Laurel and Johnny, unable to finish the puzzle. It isn't until he's partnered with Laurel that his epic tantrums begin. Laurel begins very encouraging with Zach, telling him he can do it, he's got this, etc. "I gotta quit….You don't understand Laurel. I'm gonna die," he tells her. His entire body has cramped up. It doesn't help that he's 200 pounds of pure muscle and the air up on the mountain is thin. Laurel tries her best to assist him, as he helps destroy her lead.
When he starts to get testy with Laurel, she reminds him of Sam from Battle of the Seasons. Zach was all too eager to yell abusive insults at his partner two seasons ago and now here he is acting worse than she ever did. The fact that his glorious tantrum—set with loud, pained whines—is airing for all to see is all the karma he ever needed. Hopefully, Sam DVRed this episode so she can watch it over and over again.
Zach calls Laurel a dumb, stupid bitch a couple of times. "My only motivation was to get away from Laurel." Clearly, Zach has problems with women. Here's to hoping that he's never invited to a season where he has to have a female partner the whole time. His third place finish is a done deal before they ever get to the individual tasks. His body is spent on the second day, so he isn't even sure if he'll survive the horrendous trek. But he does and wins $15k for the trouble. Zach claims the challenge taught him some humility, but probably not.
Even though Nany has done really well on the challenges this season, she's never really seemed like a credible threat to the bigger competitors like Laurel and Cara Maria. She never had to prove herself in the eliminations. That's why it was so strange when she began her obnoxious "how can Laurel think she's going to win?" spiel. It seemed like Laurel would easily squash all of her competition. However, Nany more than held her own, even if she did so in an unremarkable way.
Nany barely made a mark on the episode, as she spent most of the time trailing behind Laurel. The highlights from her part of the episode included being so afraid of a spider that she screamed and almost quitting on the stationary bike section because her feet were cold. "I think I'm at the point where I don't give a fuck anymore," she says.
Surprisingly, she finishes on the volcano seconds after Laurel. She ends up in second place, with just nine minutes separating her and Laurel. The time probably wouldn't have been that close if Zach hadn't had his meltdown on the mountain while partnered with Laurel, but it's still impressive.
Speaking of unremarkable players, Johnny spent most of the season in the shadow of bigger personalities. His season highlight was sleeping with Nany and being too lucky to pull the kill card. Yet, Johnny's final trek was probably the most notable. He's, by far, the best person to be partnered with. As Devyn's partner, he offers only support, telling her that she has nothing to be sorry about, and pushing her without being rude about it. He is constantly on the trail of challenge beast Bananas, either right in front of him or right behind. He even beats Bananas up the volcano. Unfortunately for him, his cumulative time doesn't beat Bananas, but that's not a bad finish for a rookie. It seems like the olden days of The Challenge when rookies were destined to leave in the early episodes is gone.
"Second place is always so disappointing," Laurel says near the end of the episode. After three second place finishes, it would almost be too cruel for fate to give Laurel anything but first. She's definitely one of the most formidable opponents and not just because her robot heart makes it all too easy to crush her rivals.
Laurel begins off in good spirits, clearly believing that she's on the road to her first easy win. When she and Bananas finish kayaking, she's smiling and jumping around in happiness. She keeps her lead while partnered with Johnny. It seems like nothing will get in the way of her win. That is until she's partnered with Zach at his worst. After complaining about his partners for three seasons, Zach is finally given the best possible partner and he mucks it up. Laurel begins her partnership with the big baby with her good spirits intact, encouraging him to continue.
Still, Laurel's good mood doesn't last as Zach threatens to quit. "He's acting like a three year old. I didn't sign up for babysitting." Laurel won a million points by bringing up Sam and how badly Zach treated her. More points for not slapping him when he called her a stupid bitch. Zach's meltdown was the singular cause of concern for Laurel during the whole final. She got first place in every single section except for climbing the mountain with Zach. If he cost her the win, you know she would have crushed him like he was a soda can.
Laurel may not have earned many fans this season, especially after she severed her friendship with fan favorite Cara Maria, but she's by far one of the top female competitors this show has ever seen. All you can do is accept that she's going to be needlessly mean at times and realize that The Challenge needs more people like Laurel. She was always there for the competitions, which is rare on the female side of the show. Hopefully her win doesn't also mean her retirement.
Oy. Did Bananas need a 5th win? His presence on almost every season is a certainty. Death, taxes, and Johnny Bananas worming his way into The Challenge finals. Although his attendance on the show has grown thin, this was probably his least obnoxious season in a long while. He wielded very little power and even had to see an elimination.
As a partner, he was pretty great. Although he was seething to have to work with Devyn, he sang military songs with her and gently pushed her on their hike. Eventually, he carried her on his back. True to Bananas form, he left all his insults to his confessionals, but it was great to see him be a good sport and not yell at Devyn. As Nany's partner, he kept his exacerbation, especially at her spider-related freak out, to a minimum. He is also the only person to figure out that the puzzle was cut straight from a tree so he wouldn't have to know the answers, just put it together. Throughout this season he proved to be smart, savvy, and strong. He's a great player, even if her personality is severely lacking in anything redeemable.
When will it be time Bananas to hang up his peel, move on with his life, and let others have the spotlight? Probably never, but we can dream.
Other Musings:
• Devyn about the puzzle section: "We have a shot at winning this because the other two are…not that smart."
• Even though it was kind of mean, Bananas's complimenting the Chilean scenery's ability to keep him from killing Devyn was pretty funny.
• 100 yards into the second part, Devyn gasses out. This is REALLY not the show for her.
• Zach: "If the first day was this tough, there's no way I'm gonna finish the second day."
• Nany's meltdown on the bike lasted maybe a minute, but could have killed her momentum on the bike. Since she was only nine minutes behind Laurel, that could have definitely been the cause.
• It may have been the first time that TJ had to announce that competitors would only win if they got to the finish line. Zach and Devyn probably threatened to quit. And who could blame them? They were already guaranteed last place.
• Laurel: "I might have to punch Zach in the face because he's lost this challenge for me,"
• Zach: "I'm not gonna quit. But I do feel like I'm gonna wake up in a hospital and not know how I got there."

Welcome, storkie, I am sure you will enjoy your time here. It seems to me that aixelsdyd aibohp might almost be too highly structured for "dyslexia phobia". Have you tried running it through Anu's Anagram server? You would probably get some very entertaining possibilities with that collection of letters.

Dear storkie1: I forget the word for spelling things backward, and welcome some other poster's refreshing my memory. Dyslexia is a cruel affliction, but if you are not born with it, it is unlikely to develop.So it need not be feared. Unless losing your glasses would fit the definition.

Orthography is a second meaning of spelling. So to coin a word, would retrography mean spelling backwards?
I spent quite a bit of time looking for "retrography". In one place it was equated with "mirror writing". But in mirror writing, the letters would also be reversed, so it is not satisfactory definition.

It's a well-known fact that Leonardo da Vinci wrote backwards and left-right reversed, as seen in a mirror. Apparently he wrote that way all the time. Was this some form of dyslexia (or more correctly, dysgraphia), do you know?

Dear Bobyoungbalt: I have read that Leonardo did his mirror writing to make it more difficult for anyone else to steal his ideas. I marvel that he was actually able to do this readily. But since the pages could have been read using a mirror, it does not seem worth the trouble.
I am still unable to find a definition for spelling words backwards. It is common enough that it is surprising that a word for it is not readily available.

It should be noted that Leonardo was left-handed.

Dear Anna: To be sure lefties have trouble getting into wet ink if they write like righties. But Leonardo is the only person I ever heard of taking such a difficult method of solving this problem.
Incidentally I have long wondered if the unusual smile on Mona Lisa's face was a response to Leonardo's alleged problem with sexual identification.She looks as though she were privately a bit scornful of him.

What is in this article?:
• The 2013 winners — John Wilde, San Angelo, Texas; Linwood Vick, Wilson, N.C.; Johnny Little, Holcomb, Miss.; and Chad Crivelli, Dos Palos, Calif. — have continued the High Cotton Award traditions of growing good, profitable cotton in an environmentally friendly manner.
More About:
John Wilde
Like many Texas and Oklahoma growers, John Wilde, this year's Southwest High Cotton winner, is still battling the lingering effects of the Drought of 2011.
Wilde produced more than four bales per acre on a field of drip-irrigated cotton near Miles, Texas, in 2012. About 800 acres of the Wilde cotton operation, centered in San Angelo and including farms to the east near Miles and back west near St. Lawrence, are drip-irrigated.
"Water is the key," says Wilde, who is doing all he knows how to make every drop count. Subsurface drip irrigation helps, as do reduced tillage and rotation and subsoiling between the drip tapes. He also uses furrow diking to reduce runoff and has installed wildlife vegetation strips on CRP land.
He is committed to producing the best yields possible. He's also devoted to conserving soil and water so the land that has been in the family – some for as long as 100 years – will pass on to his heirs in better condition than when he took it over.
Wilde is also adamant about finding something to control root rot, the most economically devastating cotton disease in his area. He has a long term commitment to helping Texas AgriLife Research and Extension discover a management option for the disease.
Eight years ago, Wilde recognized the importance of increasing irrigation efficiency when they installed the first subsurface drip irrigation on 38 acres. Now they have 800 acres of drip-irrigated cotton. "We started small," he says. "We had some of the first drip irrigation in the area, and we saw the benefits."
They've reduced tillage over the past few years as well. "We're not quite to minimum-till," he says, "but we have reduced tillage."
They also use reclaimed wastewater to irrigate some fields. "We filter it and put it through the drip irrigation system."
His sons, Doug and Matt, work with him as partners on the farm. "It's what they want to do," he says. "And where else but a farm can you have the opportunity for parents to work so closely with their children?"

ECM Records
If you define jazz strictly as evolved four-bar blues with rhythm at its heart, the fact that Swiss pianist Sylvie Courvoisier cites jazz as an influence on Abaton, a two-CD effort with her trio of that name, may well drive you to seek refuge in a glass of fine cognac. But if you think of jazz as that perfect free moment when improvisers see possibilities and fulfill them in one motion, you'll see proof of her statement in this album.
On the first disc, Courvoisier, with the help of violinist Mark Feldman (who's also her husband) and cellist Erik Friedlander, creates her own sound-world with four original compositions. She often selects imaginary place-names as titles-"Orodruin," from Tolkien or "Abaton," which means "the place not to be entered unbidden"-and her works appropriately feel spacious yet full of incident. Silences are as important as sounds here, whether the music is fast or slow, but the pauses never imperil the music's momentum. Between the pauses, the Abatonnaires make the exotic ornaments of extended timbres, like strumming and plucking piano strings or playing the violin or cello with the wood of the bow, into essential building blocks. And though clusters of notes and detached (but impassioned) phrases do the most to push the music onward, Courvoisier always guides us to heights where we can hear real, gorgeous melody: the medieval tune that climaxes "Orodruin" or the unexpected, blistering cadenzas in "Abaton."
Producer Manfred Eicher encouraged the Abatonnaires to explore Courvoisier's sound world with improvisations on the second disc, and they do it with both gusto and sensitivity. Each musician gets to show off his or her ample chops above eloquent silences demarcated by the other players in the three "Icaria" pieces. "Octavia" and "Archaos" find Feldman and Friedlander viciously attacking motivic cells they've just created, with sensitive support from Courvoisier, while "Narnia" is an appropriately tender solo lullaby from Sylvie. It's rare to hear modern classical music forged anew in the heat of improvisation, but that's exactly what Abaton does. Jazz fans with a thirst for something strange yet fresh should ask ECM to pass the Courvoisier.

Tripwire, a provider of configuration assessment and change auditing solutions for virtual and physical infrastructure, has unveiled its planned support for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager and Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V. Tripwire Enterprise monitors and controls IT configurations for continuous security and compliance, helping manage IT infrastructure to established policy.
When non-compliant configuration changes are made, Tripwire Enterprise will show customers these changes in Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007, indicating what policies were affected as well as the remediation steps to put the system back into a compliant state. From this single pane, users can hand-off Tripwire remediation advice to have staff manually remediate the issue, can launch Tripwire Enterprise in context for additional information, or can direct System Center Operations Manager to help remediate the issue automatically.
Tripwire Enterprise support for Microsoft System Center also includes support for System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 (SCVMM). On its own, Tripwire Enterprise natively assesses and reports on configuration integrity and compliance of both Microsoft and VMware infrastructure and virtual machines. Tripwire's integration with Microsoft System Center extends this functionality by enabling Tripwire Enterprise to present compliance status of virtual infrastructure within System Center Operations Manager, as well as providing PRO Tips within SCVMM containing detailed remediation instructions.
"Tripwire and Microsoft are aligned in our vision of providing a single destination for managing heterogeneous IT environments — across vendors and physical and virtual infrastructure," said Dwayne Melancon, vice president of Corporate Development at Tripwire. "Through System Center management suite, Tripwire Enterprise will allow customers to measure against their security, compliance and operational policies while providing a variety of options for remediation."
"Mutual customers can benefit from Tripwire Enterprise capabilities to extend the holistic desktop and datacenter management capabilities of Microsoft System Center, enabling a single view across a heterogeneous blend of virtual and non-virtual infrastructure," said David Greschler, director of integrated virtualization strategy, Microsoft Corp.

To place a "ghost" (which is not a Trojan horse or a virus) in a computer is a plan which several people could adopt without hesitation. Full explanation after the jump. ThinkGeek developed what could be the gadget per excellence to irritate a colleague at the office: the Phantom Keystroker, which connects in a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. At an irregular interval, incomprehensible sentences are written on the screen of the victim, that is not taking into account the weird mouse movements which will place its patience at hard test.

A handwritten letter in which Albert Einstein questioned the existence of God is going up for sale on EBay, with bids starting at $3 million.
The "God letter", which the physicist wrote in German a year before his death in 1955, includes his thoughts on religion, God and tribalism.
Einstein sent the letter, written on Princeton University letterhead, to Eric B. Gutkind on Jan. 3, 1954 concerning Gutkind's book, Choose Life: The Biblical Call to Revolt.
The letter was first bought by a bidder in London in 2008 for just over $400,000 and has since been stored in a special facility with a controlled environment.

So far the shared/slave/unbindable statusof mounts is not visible in /proc/mounts or /proc/$$/mountstats.The above mount makes a feeble attempt to record these flagsin /etc/mtab, but will fail in any nontrivial situation.]-To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" inthe body of a message to email@example.com majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlPlease read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
