The September issue of Montana NSF EPSCoR's quarterly newsletter, with articles on research activities, new faculty hires, outreach programs, and diversity initiatives, is now available.
C2 Project Improves Access to Cyberinfrastructure Resources for Ecosystems Scientists
The C2 project provided the groundwork for a recently awarded a grant of nearly half a million dollars through the National Science Foundation to support a project which will improve the University of Montana's cyberinfrastructure. The two-year Campus Cyberinfrastructure-Network Infrastructure and Engineering Program (CC-NIE) project is under the guidance of Drs. Loey Knapp, Jeffrey Good, Anna Klene, John McCutcheon, and Rebecca Bendick. UM's ARNI project will assist in procuring a 1Gb dedicated connection at the desktop level as well as a dual 10Gb shared connection at the building level for several key sites housing active research requiring heavy bandwidth. This effort will greatly enhance the ability of researchers to actively participate in their fields, work in collaboration with other researchers at the national and international level, and broaden the impact of their research efforts. Specific areas of research to be affected by the ARNI project include studies of animal-microbial symbioses, mountain pine beetle-induced changes in forest infrastructure and hydrology (and subsequent impact on fire management), and geodynamics research in relation to earthquakes in the developing world.
IoE Summer Interns Take on Climate Change Research in Montana
Fifteen Montana University System undergraduates have received summer internships to research climate science related projects at sites throughout Montana. The Institute on Ecosystems students will work with faculty at The University of Montana and Montana State University on a variety of projects, studying everything from elk, marmots and snowshoe hares to Ponderosa pines and microscopic cyanobacteria. The students' research findings will be presented at the Institute on Ecosystems annual summit meeting in Helena on Aug. 21 to 23. "We are excited to fund these students and look forward to their findings," said Ric Hauer, Institute on Ecosystems director at UM. "One of our institute's primary goals is to support the next generation of ecosystem scientists. These students are our future."
Joe Fanguy, director of Technology transfer at the University of Montana (UM), is heading up EPSCoR's workforce development efforts at UM as director of the Montana Technology Enterprise Center (MonTEC), a business incubator in Missoula. MonTEC provides space, services, and support for startup businesses in Montana, with long term goals of growing and diversifying Montana's economic base.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is the worlds largest scientific society, which recognizes scientists for meritorious efforts to advance science or its applications. Cathy Whitlock, MSU director of the Montana Institute on Ecosystems and professor of Earth science, was named a AAAS Fellow this year, one of only19 inductees who specialize in geology or geography. Commenting on her achievement, Whitlock said "The university has given me the freedom to pursue questions of my choice and to go to the far ends of the planet to them. It also has provided the opportunity to pass the thrill of scientific discovery onto students, and this combination of learning and teaching is one of the most rewarding experiences imaginable."
IoE Associates Featured on Montana Public Radio
Two Montana Institute on the Ecosystems (IoE) Research Associates have been featured on the 'Cores of Discovery' show on Montana Public Radio. Dr. Ric Hauer, director of the IoE at UM, was featured on December 7th, 2012, and Dr. Maury Valett, an IoE research fellow discussing water quality in the Flathead River, was featured on December 21st. Tune in or listen to recorded podcasts to learn more.
Four MSU Undergraduates Chosen for Applied Internship Program
In the new internship program offered through the Thermal Biology Institute (TBI), students work on campus directly with MSU faculty members, then complete an internship with industry research partners. The four students selected, and the locations of their summer internships, are Conner Bailey (Pacific Northwest National Labs), Evangaline Koonce (National Renewable Energy Lab), Daniel McDonald (Lucigen Corporation), and Laura Whitmore (Pacific Northwest National Labs). The program, supported by Montana NSF EPSCoR, is designed to promote lasting relationships between TBI and partners in industry and at national laboratories.
UM Associate Professor, Tony Ward, received a National Institute of Health Science Education Partnership Award to develop inquiry-based science lessons that will prepare middle and high school students to conduct research studies on air pollutants. Teachers who are involved in the project will receive training, curriculum and air-sampling equipment to guide environmental health science education.
UM professor Alison Perkins has received a National Science Foundation grant to enhance the quality and quantity of environmental science news reaching Montana's reservations and rural areas.
IoE focus area lead Geoff Poole has received a National Science Foundation grant to study the effects of logjams on streams. His project, entitled "Leaky River: Nutrient Retention and Productivity in Rocky Mountain Streams Under Alternative Stable States" will examine logjams and jam-associated processes across a gradient of streams, including streams in old-growth forests, unmanaged younger forests, and intensively managed forests. This work will provide the first landscape-scale assessment of the effects of jam removal on stream ecosystems.
Montana State University Breaks Record for Research Dollars in 2011
Montana State University had a record $112.3 million in research expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30. Almost $10 million more than last year and $2.8 million more than the previous record set two years ago, the record reflects the university's continued strength in biomedical sciences, energy, and the environment, administrators said. "MSU faculty have proven once again that they are players in a national arena," said MSU President Waded Cruzado. "Not only do they conduct significant research, but they win federal funding to carry out their work even when the field is crowded and the competition intense."
Montana Innovators joined Governor Schweitzer and MSU President Waded Cruzado on August 28th for a high-level panel discussion about investing in and fostering Montana's innovation-driven economy, followed by an awards dinner celebrating select Montana companies for excellence in innovation. Panelists included Dan Berglund, President and CEO of the State Science and Technology Institute, a non-profit organization that leads, supports, and strengthens efforts to improve state and regional economies through science, technology and innovation, Joe Fanguy, Chief Commercialization Officer at the University of Montana, and Rebecca Mahurin, Director of the Technology Transfer Office at Montana State University.
Twelve Montana K-12 Teachers Participate in GPS/GIS Workshop
The August 10 workshop, developed by MSU's Extended University, was part of a public outreach program of Montana NSF EPSCoR called Climate In My Backyard (CLIMB). Participants learned how researchers within the Montana University System and the new Montana Institute on Ecosystems are using GPS/GIS to study everything from noxious weeds to water quality, and practiced using GPS and smart-phone apps in the field to idenfity and report noxious weed infestations. Each participant received a Garmin Montana 650t GPS receiver and several books and educational resources. They will take part in a year-long project that helps students learn about climate science- and ecology-based research by identifying and mapping noxious weeds in their communities.
University of Montana Launches Montana CleanTech Alliance (MCA)
Announced during the Innovate Montana Innovation & Entrepreneurship Day on June 21st, the MCA will work to support and enhance growth in the clean-technology industry in the state by increasing awareness of Montana's existing clean-tech sector. The alliance will help clean-tech companies create jobs, access capital, invest and improve their ability to compete in the global marketplace. UM's Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, which is funded by the National Science Foundation, will help support the MCA over the next several years. The outreach and workforce development effort under EPSCoR focuses on private sector collaborations in conjunction with the Montana Institute on Ecosytems.
Recently, a team of world-class climbers summited Mount Everest in an effort to explore the effects of climate change on the region and provide education to young students through the Climate Change in my Backyard (CLiMB) program. Team member Dr. Dave Lageson, a Montana State University geology professor, provides a rigorous scientific complement to the expedition's climbing goals. Read more about the impact of this achievement in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.

Hearos water protection ear plugs, Plus free case
Now Softer
For adults and kids.
Free case.
For noise environments dominated by frequencies below 500 Hz, the C-weighted environmental noise level should be used.
Improper fit of this device will reduce its effectiveness in attenuating noise.
Consult the above instructions for proper fit.
Although hearing protectors can be recommended for protection against the harmful effects of impulsive noise, the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) is based on the attenuation of continuous noise and may not be an accurate indicator of the protection attainable against impulsive noise such as gunfire.
The Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) calculated from the attenuation data is 25dB.
Hearosear plugs must be properly fitted to attenuate noise effectively.
Refer to instructions.
The level of noise entering a persons ear, when hearing protector is worn as directed, is closely approximated by the difference between the A-weighted environmental noise level and the NRR.
The environmental noise level as measured at the ear is 92 decibels dB(A).
The NRR is 25 decibels (dB).
The level of the noise entering the ear is approximately 67 dB(A).
Using one hand, gently lift top of ear up as shown to expand ear canal.
With other hand, use stem to guide ear plug into a comfortable position.
If necessary, adjust ear plug for enhanced sealing performance.
Wash with mild soap and water.
Dry thoroughly before re-insertion into ear.
No diving.
Not recommended for depths over 5 feet.
Store ear plugs in keychain case to keep clean.
If ear plugs become cut, cracked or unpliable, replace with a new Hearos ear plug.
Not intended for sleeping or any applications where pressure could be applied against stem.
Remove slowly with twisting motion to gradually break seal.
Due to the excellent seal characteristics, rapid removal may damage ear drum.

This week we play the Rockwall Yellow jackets. This game is always a big one. All of Rockwall turns out for the game, it seems. The game has been deemed the I-30 Classic and is a highlight of the season for both teams. There is a traveling trophy that the winner of the game gets to keep for the upcoming year. Overall, there are large amounts of red and orange around town this week.
The Hawks are 3-1 so far this year, including a win over Rowlett last week 45-0. We have some great kids on our team. They are talented players, but more than that, they are great human beings. We have 4 players that have already verbally committed to NCAA, Division I universities: Raaquan Davis – Baylor, Jay Arnold and Jordan Points – Texas A & M and Chase Regian – University of Louisiana, Monroe.
Rockwall-Heath High School is a special place to me. Out of all the places that my husband and I had to choose from when relocating to Texas, 4 ½ years ago – we chose Rockwall as our Home. I wouldn't change it for anything.
-Sheila Higbee, Hawk Huddle Booster Club member, mother of senior starting defensive lineman Evan Higbee and athletic secretary and assistant to Coach Moss. Her daughter Lauren is a sophomore and student athletic trainer for the Hawks, and her three other future Hawks are in 8th, 6th and 3rd grades.

Purpose: To report a case of intraoperative graft dislocation into the vitreous cavity during Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) in an aniridic eye despite the presence of an iris prosthetic lens, and the surgical technique for immediate rescue of the donor lenticule.
Methods: A 30-year-old man, who had undergone previous pars plana vitrectomy, penetrating keratoplasty, and iris prosthetic lens implantation (Morcher Aniridia Implants 67G) for traumatic aniridia, underwent DSAEK for failed penetrating keratoplasty. Intraoperatively, the graft dislocated into the posterior segment through the gap between the lens implant and the scleral wall. The dislocated graft was grasped with a 23-gauge vitrectomy forceps inserted through the temporal scleral incision and the implant–scleral wall gap. The straight endoglide insertion forceps was then introduced through a nasal paracentesis and used to pull the donor from the posterior segment into the anterior chamber through the implant–scleral wall gap.
Results: Postoperatively, the patient did well with no evidence of graft dislocation or retinal detachment, and rapid clearing of the donor and recipient cornea. Donor endothelial cell loss was only 11% at 6 months after DSAEK.
Conclusions: Graft dislocation into the vitreous cavity can occur during DSAEK, even in the presence of a large iris prosthetic lens implant. In a previously vitrectomized eye, immediate retrieval of the donor from the retina can be performed using a vitrectomy forceps inserted through the existing temporal scleral DSAEK incision into the posterior segment, thus obviating the need for further pars plana incisions.

Conservatives used to care about community. What happened?.

Conservatives used to care about community. What happened?
May 28, 2012
| 1428 views | 0
To secure his standing as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney has disowned every sliver of moderation in his record. He's moved to the right on tax cuts and twisted himself into a pretzel over the health-care plan he championed in Massachusetts — because conservatives are no longer allowed to acknowledge that government can improve citizens' lives.
Romney is simply following the lead of Republicans in Congress who have abandoned American conservatism's most attractive features: prudence, caution and a sense that change should be gradual. But most important, conservatism used to care passionately about fostering community, and it no longer does. This commitment now lies buried beneath slogans that lift up the heroic and disconnected individual — or the "job creator" — with little concern for the rest.
Today's conservatism is about low taxes, fewer regulations, less government — and little else. Anyone who dares to define it differently faces political extinction. Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana was considered a solid conservative, until conservatives decided that anyone who seeks bipartisan consensus on anything is a sellout. Even Orrin Hatch of Utah, one of the longest-serving Republican senators, is facing a primary challenge. His flaw? He occasionally collaborated with the late Democratic senator Edward M. Kennedy on providing health insurance coverage for children and encouraging young Americans to join national service programs. In the eyes of Hatch's onetime allies, these commitments make him an ultra-leftist.
I have long admired the conservative tradition and for years have written about it with great respect. But
the new conservatism, for all its claims of representing the values that inspired our founders, breaks with the country's deepest traditions
. The United States rose to power and wealth on the basis of a balance between the public and the private spheres, between government and the marketplace, and between our love of individualism and our quest for community.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Stylish and works!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I was skeptical I'd like a helmet without vents, but it's been no problem and the ocean blue adds color to my ski get up. I've used this helmet in 60 degree days at A Basin and I wasn't sweating. There's enough air flow through the helmet to not be sweating (may be an advantage to a small head?) with that said when it's cold I need to wear a cap underneath. Really nice that you can remove the padding as well for bike use and bluetooth headphones. Fit my head well that it was secure, but I had enough room to comfortably wear ear buds. Very good value compared to "fancier" helmets that are easily $125+.
Literally a lifesaver!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This helmet has already paid itself off with its protection value. It goes without being said: better to be safe, than sorry! With a mind towards fashion sense, this helmet is not bulky at all and fits very comfortably. You can't even tell you have it on when your doing your sport, it is the last thing on your mind. In the snow it keeps your head and ears warm with a wonderful soft lining. It is as attractive as possible for a helmet with the EPS Visor & Thin Shell features. Pick a fun color and have fun! :)

On Sunday, April 22 from 2:00-3:00, J.B. Bauersfeld, sports director from WIBW Channel 13, will be at the library talking to young people about getting into the sports broadcasting industry.
Bauersfeld is a graduate of Highland Park High School and Emporia State University, and has been at WIBW for the past eight years. He is the weeknight sports anchor, and covers all local sports, as well as KU, K-State, the Royals, and the Chiefs. He will be talking about what experience is needed to enter the sports broadcasting field, what schools have programs that will teach you those skills, and what positions are available in the sports broadcasting industry. He will also share what he does from day to day as sports director at Channel 13, as well as answer any questions you might have about sports broadcasting, or broadcasting and journalism in general.
This is a great opportunity for kids who are sports fans, who are not sure of what they want to do after high school, to learn about a profession where they can use their love of sports and turn it into a career. Likewise, this as a great opportunity for anyone interested in the broadcasting or journalism fields, outside of the sports arena, to talk to someone on the inside and see what it is really like within the profession.
We hope to see you here on April 22 in The Edge!

Susana Baca
For years, the career of singer Susana Baca has been fueled by a burning desire to save the musical traditions of the Afro-Peruvian minority in her homeland from extinction, and it's beginning to pay off. Complementing the array of largely forgotten traditional material on her gorgeous new album, Eco de Sombras (Luaka Bop), are two new songs written by a young Peruvian composer named Javier Lazo that clearly draw inspiration from the very history Baca has been struggling to preserve.
"It's really beautiful for me because it brings the tradition into the present," says Baca, speaking through a translator.
A devoted student of the myriad African rhythms that pulse through the various Latin American styles, Baca investigated their disparate permutations on an early album, Del Fuego y del Agua, which included songs of Brazil, Uruguay, Puerto Rico and Cuba. With her husband, the sociologist Ricardo Pereira, she founded Instituto Negrocontinuo (Institute of Black Continuum) to collect and disseminate black Peruvian culture, a rich tradition once strictly limited to oral transmission. "I've been saving songs from my mother, my aunt and from different places I've gone my whole life," she says. "I used to carry them in bags, but my husband and I decided to put them all together so they would be available to everyone."
Despite her activist regard for Afro-Peruvian culture, Baca is hardly old-fashioned. As with vocalists from Cesaria Evora to Virginia Rodrigues to Cassandra Wilson, her musical aesthetic is triumphantly pluralistic, and she cites Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday and Aretha Franklin among her biggest influences. For her new album she worked with producer Craig Street, the man who helped Wilson develop her singular sound. While the seductive, telepathic feeling crafted by her band of a dozen years remains undiminished, Street adds some lovely genre-crossing touches. With the help of musicians like John Medeski, Marc Ribot and Greg Cohen, the album is peppered with subtle details that intimate an expansive musical vision. "Every minute he was taking something out of his hat," says Baca. "It was a very shared, equal experience, but he showed me a whole new palette of colors and nuances."

The FBI investigated two extortion attempts against TV and radio personality Art Linkletter in the 1950s, according to newly revealed documents.
While Linkletter was not concerned about the threats, then FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover launched probes that stretched from Queens to Hollywood to protect the creator of the popular "Kids Say the Darndest Things" franchise.
The NYCity News Service obtained Linkletter's FBI file under the Freedom of Information Act, which allows certain documents to be released after the subject's death. Linkletter died at age 97 on May 26, 2010 at his home in Bel Air, Calif.
According to the files, Linkletter's secretary forwarded three letters found in his fan mail at CBS Studios in Hollywood to the FBI on Feb. 24, 1954.
'Tramp' Stamp
The letters, postmarked from the Jamaica Post Office in Queens, contained threats to kill Linkletter's children if he did not pay $1,000 – but the missive did not specify where the host should send the money.
The letters were composed with cutout newspaper letters and Scotch tape, and contained misspellings and bizarre insults – including calling Linkletter a "tramp." "THIS IS IT YOUR LAST CHANCE," read the third letter, postmarked Feb. 16, 1954. "YOUR CHILDREN ARE NEST RAT."
Agents told Hoover they made multiple attempts to interview the TV host but he couldn't meet them due to his "extremely busy schedule." In another memo, agents noted that Linkletter's secretary told them he thought the writer to be a "crank."
Still, Hoover assigned agents to collect handwriting samples from high schools near the Jamaica Post Office. The FBI suspected the writer to be a student because the stamps were placed in the wrong corner on two of the envelopes, the letters were postmarked after school hours and were addressed in an upper case print commonly used by U.S. high school students at the time.
Amateur Hour
By May 26, 1954, FBI agents had collected handwriting samples from 4,779 students in five schools, including Jamaica High School. The case was closed – unsolved – on June 11, 1954.
In 1958, Linkletter was a subject of another amateurish extortion attempt. Bennie James Riggens, 18, of Georgia, sent letters to then-Vice President Richard Nixon, segregationist Georgia Sen. Herman Talmadge and Linkletter requesting various amounts of money, according to the file.
Riggens demanded $700 from Linkletter and threatened to kill his family if he did not deliver. The letter contained a .22 caliber bullet – and Riggens's full name and address. Riggens later confessed to sending the letter, documents show.
Linkletter told his secretary Riggens sounded like a "mental case."

SNL: Kristen Wiig Returns to "The Californians"
Is there a recurring SNL sketch more divisive than "The Californians"? For everyone who loves it, there is someone else who thinks it's one of the worst things to ever happen to the show. The latest edition won't change any minds, but the return of Kristen Wiig does make it a little more special than the past couple of times they've trotted it out.
