I love my Bersa Thunder380CC. I evaluated both and the CC won me over with smaller size, lower weight, and features. In terms of grip, I don't feel much of a difference. In terms of accuracy I have not shot the non-CC but I am very happy with the CC. It is one of the BEST for Concealed Carry and the non-CC is bigger and heavier. I am also very happy with target acquisition after recoil. The Bersa I have has flourescent orange rear and front sights, and they make sighting easy. The Trigger is FANTASTIC, too. DA is lightweight too.
Additional features: flourescent orange chamber indicator, safety/decocker, side mag release. It has a magazine interlock which I don't like and it was easily removed.
Three downsides: Due to the fixed barrel design the gun gets dirtier than others after range practice...same for non-CC. I clean mine after every practice, but it is easy to clean. Available third-party grips are hard to find. You many need to take a file to the rough edges if you buy new just to smooth the hammer or the slide....that is optional.
The CC is easy for women to shoot as well.
Good Luck and Get plenty of training.

I very rarely see bears around here and they are usually on the small side, but I want a 500 S&W just because.
Clan MacPherson
Here in my part of va bears coyote and wolfs are just a fact of life. City people moving in and not paying attention to their surroundings don't need to mention the deer population.
But a500 Smith would be cool
All you need is a little .22.
Just shoot your buddy in the kneecap and the bear will go after him instead.
Certified AR-15/M-16 Armorer / SIG Pistol Armorer
My. Daddy told me I don't to run faster than the bear I just need to run faster than you!
Ruger's are built like tanks. As a reloader I can get more FPE from a 45 vs 44.
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
Bears can be very hard to kill. And once you shoot them, they can get angry and will attack and **** you up.
A .44 Magnum would be the very smallest thing I'd consider for bears. If there was any serious chance I'd have to take on a bear, I'd just jump to the .500 S&W.
Lots of people shoot bears with .44s, and even .357s... but there's a huge difference between hunting a bear, choosing your position, and shooting one from a distance, and between having one step out from around a building or tree a dozen feet from you.
Perge, scelus, mihi diem perficias.

2009 Sony still wants GTA games on PSP
GTA: LCS - General News | @ 05:50 PM MDT | By Neil
At the end of a tremendous week in which The Lost and Damned hit Xbox 360 and trailers for the DS-exclusive Chinatown Wars were released, many will be wondering when Sony's consoles will get a little more GTA action.
That question may have been answered yesterday when MTV News spoke to John Koller, SCEA's Head of PSP Hardware Marketing. In the interview, he expresses the good relationship which his company has with the series publisher, Rockstar Games and goes on to talk a little further about GTA:
"No one should sleep on that franchise. It's tremendous for PlayStation in general. We've had two that are the top two sellers on PSP right now. So, there's definitely continued conversations with Rockstar on all their brands."

Large tax hike and wasteful spending
Large tax hike and wasteful spending
House Democrats are seeking a $3 billion increase in taxes and fees to erase a $627 million shortfall. We could erase this shortfall without raising taxes by setting a responsible budget that is within our anticipated revenue growth of approximately 3 percent.
This is a clear example of excessive spending, not a revenue shortage.
The proposed increases in taxes and fees has an estimated price tag of close to $600 for every man, woman and child in Minnesota. The tax bill would raise income taxes on nearly one-third of Minnesotans, even including people making around $22,000 per year.
The House Democrat plan would also raise taxes on Internet purchases, sports memorabilia, cigarettes and alcohol, just to name a few. All Republicans and a few Democrats voted to oppose the tax bill.
The clincher? With $3 billion more in revenue, House Democrats this week passed an omnibus bill that includes a $26 million cut to baseline funding for long-term care facilities that would greatly damage nursing homes throughout the state.
Seniors and other vulnerable citizens should be a top priority, not be pushed aside so government can waste more money on bureaucracy.
The Democrat majority in the Senate is working on a bill of its own to raise taxes by billions. Our Democrat governor has his own plan for billions more in taxes. The House bill may not serve as the finished product after the conference committee process, but it seems pretty clear where this is heading: The largest tax hike in 30 years is being thrust on hard-working Minnesotans to support wasteful spending by a government that apparently thinks it knows better what to do with your money.

Richard Branson Wants to Start A Population on Mars

Richard Branson
(Source: thejanedough.com)
His spaceflight company, Virgin Galactic, is set to start making commercial flights in a year
Richard Branson is hoping to be one of the first humans to
populate Mars
as space travel enters an era of commercial flight.
Branson, CEO of Virgin Airlines, discussed his future space plans for both his spaceflight company --
Virgin Galactic
-- and his potential settlement on Mars.
Possibly in the next year, Virgin Galactic will lead the shift into commercial spaceflight, taking anyone who can pay $200,000 on a two-hour trip beyond Earth.
"It's going to be absolutely incredible because finally people...ordinary people will be able to have a chance to become astronauts, go into space," said Branson. "There are only 500 people who have ever been into space. They are the privileged astronauts...we just want to enable people to become astronauts and experience it."
He went on to say that "hundreds of thousands" of people will take part in the commercial space program. In fact, Branson and his children will be the first people on a Virgin Galactic flight next year.
Commercial spaceflight comes at a time when U.S. government space agency NASA has retired its space shuttle fleet and temporarily suspended a way for American astronauts to get to the International Space Station (except via Russian Soyuz rockets). This is where the private sector has stepped in, where companies like California-based SpaceX has since shipped its
Dragon capsule to the ISS
for the delivery of supplies. Virgin Galactic is another member of the private space sector, but it is focusing more on commercial flights that anyone can take.
Branson went on to describe the future of American spaceflight, saying that people will eventually settle on Mars -- and he hopes to be one of the first.
"In my lifetime, I'm determined to being apart of starting a population on Mars," said Branson. "I think it is absolutely realistic. It will happen."
Branson isn't alone in dreams of life on Mars. SpaceX is also developing
a reusable orbital launch system
that would make spaceflight affordable and permanent Mars settlement a reality.

UTSA President Ricardo Romo
>> View KENS-TV video, 12/5/08 (Windows Media)
Bush appoints Romo to White House commission
By Marianne McBride Lewis
Director of Public Affairs
(Dec. 4, 2008)--Ricardo Romo, president of the The University of Texas at San Antonio, has been appointed by President George W. Bush to serve on a 23-member commission that will explore the potential of creating a national museum dedicated to American Latinos.

The Commission to Study the Potential Creation of the National Museum of the American Latino Act of 2007 was signed into law by Bush on May 8, 2008, and the White House announced Tuesday the names of seven commission appointees. The museum will showcase the arts, culture and history of the Latino community in the United States. Read more about the National Museum of the American Latino.
"I am honored to be appointed to this important commission," said Romo. "I've had a lifelong interest in the Latino community, particularly in the culture and arts, and look forward to working with fellow commission members to create an outstanding museum."
The commission is charged with organizing a national conference within nine months of being formed by bringing together stakeholders, experts, policymakers and other interested parties to discuss the museum's viability.
Additionally, they will develop a fundraising plan to create a public-private partnership within 18 months and produce a report to Congress within 24 months of the bill's passage with a recommended plan of action to take the museum from concept to reality.
According to excerpts from the executive summary of House Bill 512/Senate Bill 500, members of the commission were appointed because of their demonstrated commitment to the research or promotion of American Latino life, art, culture and history, and expertise in museum administration or fundraising.
A nationally respected urban historian, Romo is the author of "East Los Angeles: History of a Barrio," now in its ninth printing. As president of UTSA, an Hispanic-serving institution, Romo oversees the operation of two academic campuses that educate more than 28,400 students as well as UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures, a downtown San Antonio cultural museum.
In 2002, Bush appointed Romo to the President's Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and in 2004, Romo was appointed as a U.S. representative to the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization.
Currently, Romo serves as vice chair of the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, San Antonio branch.
The other six individuals appointed by Bush to the commission include Anna Regula Haug de Cablik of Georgia, Gilberto Cardenas of Indiana, Doreen M. Colon Camacho of Puerto Rico, Dorene C. Dominguez of California, Jose B. Fernandez of Florida and Patrick Alexander Lopez Negrete of Texas.

MIAMI -- A federal appeals court threw out the convictions and life sentences of five accused Cuban spies Tuesday, ruling that they did not receive a fair trial because of community prejudice and extensive publicity.
A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta ordered a new trial after agreeing with the arguments of defense attorneys about the 2001 convictions. None of the jurors was Cuban, but the defense argued that prejudice against Fidel Castro and his communist government runs high in Miami.
Federal prosecutors had no immediate comment on the court's decision.
Also overturned was the murder conspiracy conviction of ringleader Gerardo Hernandez. He was also convicted for his role in the deaths of four Cuban exiles shot down by Cuban MiGs in international airspace in 1996, an event that sparked widespread condemnation.
All five Cubans were convicted in June 2001 of serving as unregistered agents of a foreign government. Evidence showed that two of them targeted U.S. military installations from Key West to Tampa and the ring spied on Cuban exiles.
The five admit being Cuban agents, but said they were spying on "terrorist" exile groups opposed to Castro, not the U.S. government. The defense said the agents' primary mission was to thwart extremist exiles who supported terrorism in Cuba, including a string of Havana bombings that killed one tourist and injured 12 others in 1997.
The five were the only ones who went to trial after they were indicted in 1998 as part of the 14-member Wasp Network.
Cuba has made the five a cause celebre, featuring them on a Web site and issuing a CD of one spy's jailhouse poetry set to music. Free the Five committees were set up in several countries.

Canterbury coach Des Hasler says the club's supporters should be proud of his players after they edged out Manly 16-10 in a brutal NRL qualifying final encounter at ANZ Stadium.
A second-half try from newly-crowned Dally M Medallist Ben Barba proved to be the difference between the sides as the Bulldogs booked themselves a week off and consigned Manly to an semi-final clash against either Brisbane or North Queensland in Sydney next week.
Hasler denied he took any more satisfaction from the win coming against the club he left in bitter circumstances just weeks after leading them last year's premiership.
"A win in a semi-final is always satisfying," Hasler said.
"But it's no more satisfying than it would be against any other team. It was a tough game and it was a game we would rather win than lose.
"Both sides gave it their all and our fans should be very proud of them."
While the defeat does not end Manly's defence of their title, they look certain to be without Jamie Lyon who limped off with a calf injury early in the game.
Joe Galuvao also went off with an ankle injury and Steve Matai and co-captain Jason King could miss next week's game after being placed on report within 30 seconds of one another for high shots on Aiden Tolman and Sam Perrett.
Matai, who has carryover points against him for previous offences could be out for up to two games should the match review committee opt to sanction the Kiwi star on Monday.
Sea Eagles coach Geoff Toovey remained tight-lipped on the incidents after the game and said he had no idea how serious the injuries were.
But he did accuse the referees of allowing Canterbury to not be 10 metres when his side were playing-the-ball.
"We just ran out of petrol at the end, we lost a couple of players and ran out of petrol," he said.
"I thought our defence was really good, it was hard in attack missing Jamie but I thought we were playing back in the five metre rule at one stage.
"They were very quick off the line let's just say that.
"I thought it was ridiculous to tell you the truth but that's just me being a bit biased I suppose.
"If there was a 10m sprint in the Olympics there'd be a couple of gold medallists out there."
Lyon and Galuvao will undergo scans on Saturday to determine the extent of their injuries.

Accuracy and a lot of recoil are not exactly going to go hand in hand unless you plan to be able to take as long as you want between shots. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a powerful gun, but a really well designed piece will fire the largest of rounds and eat the recoil so you can shoot multiple shots accurately.
If you want something you can customize you absolutely will not beat a 1911, however there needs to be a distinction in what you call customizing. Do you consider customizing to be grips and exterior "bolt on" stuff, or do you mean customized triggers, asthetics, internal components, etc.
Personally I'm not a huge fan of most of the polymer guns if for no other reason than they all seem to look alike, but that's just me.

Due to the different crop factors, this 24mm will give different equivalent field of view and play different roles in your gears: on a Four Third, it becomes a 48mm, well suited for portrait, and on a full frame, it gives a wide angle better at architecture and landscape photos. You should also note that the Samyang 24mm f/1.4 ED AS UMC doesn't offer any autofocus capabilities, so be prepared for manual focusing. But, as usual with Samyang, this should enable this lens to be sold for a very reasonable price.
In term of design, these lenses are accomodate 13 lenses among which 4 are made of ED low-dispersion glass and 2 are aspheric lenses. The lenses are treated with multi-layer anti-reflective coating (UMC) which should also improve the light transmission. This all sound promising, so let's wait for the test results shortly after commercial availability expected at the end of this year or early next year. To be informed as soon as the results become available, feel free to subscribe to our RSS feed or follow us on Twitter.

Good lens
Please test this lens !!
Bought it for Sony A7 with adapter, and am quite happy with it. Stepped a bit down it is super sharp in centre area (full frame). Bokeh is creamy and very pleasant. Focus wheel is is precise and gives a feeling of working with high quality. It is a bit big and heavy for carry on a the camera on a neck strap. With focus peaking enabled in the cam it is fast and easy to do the manual focusing required for this lens.
Some other reviews says that this lens is at least as good and sharp as the 35mm in center area, and slightly less sharp at the edges. I dont care about corner sharpness, so thats not a problem for me. Stepped down to f2.0 I very seldom put the object at focus in the corner of the image. Compared to Carl Zeiss lenses I would say that this is almost as sharp, has better Bokeh, but that Carl Zeiss has better contrast. Contrast I fix afterwards, so I really just care about sharpness and bokeh, and then this lens beats the Zeiss. :)

text: Home- Academics- Departments and Programs- Geology- Academic Program Colgate Geology Academic Program Menu Menu Geology (For 2016–2017 academic year) Professors April, Harpp, Leventer, Peck, Selleck, Soja Associate Professor Wong (Chair) Assistant Professor Adams Senior Lecturer Keller Geology is the study of the physical and chemical nature of Earth, the evolution and impact of life on our planet, and the global processes active both now and in the past. An understanding of geology — developed through the scientific study of minerals, rocks, and fossils — explains how past and present-day ecosystems, including the oceanic realm, have been reshaped by plate tectonics, volcanism, mountain building, climate change, evolution, and other events through time. Introductory courses are designed to contribute significantly to a liberal arts education and an understanding of Earth and the environment. Advanced courses provide the highest possible level of general and pre-professional training for majors. Majors in geology or environmental geology provide students with the opportunity to pursue careers in the geological and environmental sciences, business, and education, as well as government and public service. Upon graduation, many geology majors go to graduate study in geology, hydrology, oceanography, environmental sciences, and environmental policy and law. Other graduates go directly into a wide spectrum of employment situations, including business, environmental consulting, teaching, administration in schools and museums, and mineral resources and petroleum-related jobs. Major Program in Geology A major program consists of nine full-credit geology courses and two full-credit courses in biology, chemistry, mathematics, or physics. GEOG 245, Geographic Information Systems, can be taken in place of one of the required biology, chemistry, mathematics, or physics courses. Central to the major is a core of five geology courses that provides students with a basic foundation of knowledge in the geosciences. It is strongly recommended that these core courses (GEOL 201, 202, 215, 302, and 305) be taken by all majors because they are required for honors in the department, and they are generally expected for graduate study in geology, civil service examinations, and employment in government and industry. Similar considerations apply to a field experience, such as that provided by GEOL 320. Majors wishing to go to graduate school in geology should note that graduate schools expect applicants to have supplemented their undergraduate geology majors with a year each of introductory calculus, chemistry, and physics or biology. The geology department strongly encourages majors to take these courses; they are required for honors in geology. Students interested in paleontology are encouraged to take BIOL 304 in addition to, or in place of, one of the above. In counting the nine required full-credit courses for the major, the following rules should be taken into account: (1) only two full-credit 100-level courses may be counted toward the major. If two are counted, the second must be GEOL 190; (2) each student must take at least two 400-level geology courses one of which must be GEOL 441 (GEOL 491 does not count toward this requirement); (3) students who elect to take a summer field course at another institution may apply no more than one such credit toward their nine major courses; (4) certain upper-level science courses offered by other departments (e.g., CHEM 263 or 333 and BIOL 304 or 352) may be counted toward the major program, with prior permission of the department chair. Students majoring in geology and environmental geology are required to complete a senior research project that comprises original work. Students enrolled in GEOL 441, Senior Research Seminar, during the spring of their senior year will complete this requirement through the submission of a written paper and a formal, public presentation of their work. The primary objective of GEOL 441 is to provide a capstone research experience for geology majors guided by faculty oversight and peer-group discussions. In exceptional cases (e.g., a student who plans to graduate early or because of conflicts cannot enroll in GEOL 441 in the spring of their senior year) a student may enroll in GEOL 441Z during the fall of their senior year, with the approval of the department. Students can initiate a senior research project of interest by speaking directly to a faculty member about ideas for a research project or by consulting with a faculty member about a project that might arise from a summer internship, a summer employment experience, or be based on research initiated in a geology course. A number of upper-level geology courses, including GEOL 491, Independent Study, feature a research component that could be used as a starting point for future original work. In all cases, a student must consult with a geology faculty member in planning and designing the senior project. Normally, this faculty member will be the student's research adviser during the senior year. All majors will be expected to submit a research proposal during the fall term of their senior year. Papers and presentations will be evaluated by the geology department faculty in the spring. A GPA of 2.00 in the major is necessary for graduation. The nine full-credit geology courses of highest grade are used to compute this average. A passing grade must be received in GEOL 441 and in all courses counted toward the major. Major Program in Environmental Geology Students interested in environmental science, environmental law and policy, water and natural resources, energy, and global change should consider this interdisciplinary major, which includes a core of coursework plus electives in geology and environmental studies. Courses from biology, geography, economics, philosophy, and other departments may form part of the major program. For a complete description of this program, see "Environmental Studies." For further information, contact the geology department chair. Minor Program A minor program consists of any five full-credit courses, with at least four full-credit courses above the 100 level. For the purposes of the minor, GEOL 190 is counted at the 200 level. It is strongly recommended that these courses be selected after consultation with a member of the department faculty. Honors All geology and environmental geology majors are encouraged to consider the advantages and challenges of an honors program in geology. A GPA of 3.00 or higher in the five core courses (GEOL 201, 202, 215, 302, and 305), plus the two required 400-level courses are required for a student to become eligible for honors. In addition, at least six full-credit courses in biology, chemistry, mathematics, or physics must be taken to become eligible for honors. GEOG 245, Geographic Information Systems can be taken in place of one of these six courses. An honors thesis represents the culmination of a year-long research project that typically begins during the summer before the senior year and continues during the fall and spring terms of the senior year. The thesis will be read by a faculty committee comprising the honors adviser and two other departmental faculty members chosen by the student in consultation with the honors adviser. Alternate arrangements may be made in consultation with the geology department chair. The written thesis must be completed and orally defended by the end of the spring semester. Following the defense, and with the recommendation of the thesis committee, the geology faculty will vote to award honors or not. Awarding the distinction of honors or not is based primarily on the quality of the written thesis but will also include an overall assessment of the student's academic record. Students who may be eligible for honors will be notified in the spring of the junior year. Teacher Certification The Department of Educational Studies offers a teacher education program for majors in geology who are interested in pursuing a career in elementary or secondary school teaching. Please refer to "Educational Studies." Awards See "Honors and Awards: Geology" in Chapter VI. Advanced Placement and Transfer Credit Credits should be discussed with the department chair. Transfer credit and/or placement appropriate to academic development of a student may be granted to incoming first year students who have achieved a score on an international exam (e.g., A-Levels, International Baccalaureate) that indicates a level of competence equivalent to the completion of a specific course in the department. Requests should be directed to the department chair. Any such credit may not be used to fulfill the university areas of inquiry requirement, but may count towards the major. Topical Major in Marine Science — Freshwater Science is offered with the cooperation of the biology department through the Division of Natural Sciences. See program requirements listed under "Natural Sciences." This major is intended for students who are interested in aquatic sciences and who wish to major in both biology and geology while preparing for certain teaching, museum, and technical positions, and for selected graduate studies programs. Field Courses The department offers two summer field courses. GEOL 120, The Geology of America's Parks, is designed for introductory level students and includes a two- to three-week field component. GEOL 320, Techniques of Field Geology, is designed for junior and senior majors; occasionally sophomores with strong geology preparation participate also. The course lasts for five weeks and examines classic geologic areas in such locations as Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and the northeastern United States. The course is shown as a summer course on the student's transcript. Contact the department chair for further information. Study Groups See "Off-Campus Study" in Chapter VI for information on off-campus programs in Australia, the United Kingdom (Wales or Manchester), SEA Semester, and other approved programs. Course Offerings GEOL courses count toward the Natural Sciences and Mathematics area of inquiry requirement, unless otherwise noted. All credit-bearing laboratories carry 0.25 course credits unless noted otherwise. Please see the "Academic Credit" section in Chapter VI for additional information and restrictions. 101/101L Environmental Geology A. Leventer, W. Peck, B. Selleck, M.

GEOL 202 is recommended. Prerequisite: GEOL 201. 311/311L Environmental and Exploration Geophysics A. Adams Near-surface features of the Earth display a stunning variety of structures and compositions. These features give insight in the geology of a region, and can also be important in the fields of environmental studies, engineering, and archaeology. Many subsurface structures are not visible at the surface, but can be illuminated using geophysical measurements and modeling. In this course, students will learn the science behind several geophysical techniques, including gravity surveying, reflection and refraction seismology, GPS monitoring, and electric and magnetic methods. Students will apply this knowledge to collect and model real-world geophysical datasets in the associated lab. GEOL 311L must be taken and passed concurrently with GEOL 311.Prerequisite: one GEOL course. 317 X-Ray and Clay Mineralogy R. April An integrated and detailed study of the nature of clay minerals and the methods of x-ray analysis.

Topics include x-ray diffraction and x-ray fluorescence theory and applications; computer modeling of x-ray patterns; the structure and chemistry of clay minerals, their origin and occurrence; clays and the origin of life; and the role of clays in weathering. Students complete an original research project making extensive use of the department's x-ray facilities. Prerequisite: GEOL 201. 320 Techniques of Field Geology Staff A five-week summer field program introduces the basic field techniques used in geologic mapping. Students prepare geologic maps and stratigraphic sections in assigned map areas and develop geological histories, focusing on igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic processes. The course consists of field work in such locations as Colorado, Wyoming, and Idaho. Prerequisites: GEOL 120 or three geology courses or completion of six semesters. 350 Paleoclimatology A. Leventer Earth's climate has fluctuated widely in the past, between droughts, warm periods, and ice ages. In fact, climate change is a certainty. The planet is currently faced with potential abrupt climate change resulting from human-induced environmental modification. Paleoclimatology, the study of past climates and environments of the Earth, provides a long-term perspective on the nature of global climate variability that is critical for evaluating the sensitivity of the Earth system to past, present, and future changes. This course provides students with an overview of paleoclimatology by examining the use of proxy records such as marine and lake sediment sequences, ice cores, tree rings, corals, and historical data to reconstruct past climatic conditions. Dating methods are introduced, and seminal publications in paleoclimatology are reviewed in tandem with current research papers addressing outstanding questions in paleoclimatology. Throughout, students critically analyze their current understanding of past climates and environments, and identify promising directions for future research. Topics include abrupt climate change, human evolution and climate, biosphere-climate interactions, and paleoclimate modeling. Prerequisites: GEOL 215 or 302, or permission of instructor. 403 Geochemistry R. April The major geochemical processes and events that produced transformative change to the Earth's surface environment, from the origin of the planet 4.5 billion years ago to the present-day, are the focus of this course. Topics of study include the origin and evolution of Earth's atmosphere and oceans; geochemical evidence and conditions for the emergence of life; the chemical behavior of ocean water, rivers, and lakes; the global distribution and cycles of the major elements; weathering and erosion of the continents; and the nature of the Critical Zone — the fragile skin of the planet in which complex and interactive biogeochemical and physical processes operate together to sustain life. Lectures and weekly readings in the scientific literature guide class discussions. Prerequisites: CHEM 101 and GEOL 201, or permission of instructor. 411 Isotopes in the Earth Sciences K. Harpp, W. Peck The age of the Earth, genesis and growth of continents, global climate change, and the formation of the solar system are all understood primarily through isotope geochemistry. This course explores how geochemical tracers are used to understand processes in the Earth and solar system that are not possible to observe directly. Methods to be investigated include geochronology, radiogenic isotopes in magmatic systems, stable isotopes as applied to understanding fluids in low- and high-temperature environments, stable isotopes and the paleoclimate record, and the radiogenic and stable isotope cosmochemistry of meteorites and lunar samples. Current research in these fields (and readings in the primary scientific literature) is a focus of this course. Prerequisites: four geology courses, including GEOL 202 (may be concurrent) or permission of instructor. 415L Tropical Field Course on Modern and Pleistocene Reefs C. Soja Intensive investigation of fossil and modern reefs is the focus of this 0.25-credit, field-based "outdoor laboratory" course. Student participants complete a project based on collection of data in the field to learn first-hand about coral reefs, one of the most important and most threatened ecosystems on Earth. During a nine-day trip to the tropics over spring break (or January), students engage in practical exercises to study reef communities past and present. Research projects involve snorkeling to make observations of modern reefs and their inhabitants, including aquatic surveys to assess biodiversity. Projects also include comparison of modern reefs with fossil (Pleistocene) reefs exposed on land. Final reports rely on these and other data to assess the changes reef species have experienced in abundance, diversity, and health through time, and to consider debates about the past, present, and future status of coral reefs. Students complete a short final paper and present research results after they return to campus. Prerequisites: GEOL 215, GEOL 302 (may be taken concurrently), or permission of instructor. This course is graded as satisfactory/unsatisfactory (S/U). 416/416L Marine Geology A. Leventer The course is designed to provide a realistic understanding of rapidly evolving concepts in the field of geological oceanography. Sedimentary and geophysical data are discussed in the context of global plate tectonics. These data are used to examine the processes responsible for the origin and evolution of continental margins and ocean basins and to reconstruct global climate history. When offered the credit-bearing laboratory session GEOL 416L must be taken and passed concurrently with GEOL 416. Prerequisites: four geology courses or permission of instructor. 418 Tectonics M. Wong This course analyzes large-scale structures of the Earth's crust and interior. There is particular emphasis on the interpretation of modern and ancient orogenic belts in terms of plate tectonics models. The course includes discussion of the details of plate boundary structures and plate interactions, evolution of the Earth's lithosphere through geologic time, and the use of isotopes in geological investigations. Student presentations are required. Prerequisite: GEOL 305 (may be taken concurrently) or permission of instructor. 420 Solid Earth Processes A. Adams, K. Harpp This course focuses on how the Earth's processes such as volcanism, plate motion, and mantle dynamics are studied by geologists. Through a seminar-style approach, the course considers the techniques used to understand the solid Earth, with emphasis on volcanic and plate tectonic systems. Methods studied include (a) volcanic systems: gas, plume, and thermal monitoring for prediction of eruptions, lava chemistry, heat flow, geochronology, field observations, and lava flow dynamics; (b) plate tectonics: earthquake observations, ground deformation, and gravity; (c) planetary geology: remote sensing, spectroscopy, and plume sampling. Each technique is examined in the context of a specific case study (e.g., Mount Pinatubo, Hawaii, Yellowstone, Los Angeles fault zones, Venus, and the moons of Jupiter) through readings and discussions of current geological literature. Experts currently working in the field are consulted as resources. Prerequisites: GEOL 202 and 220. 430 Seminar on Acid Rain R. April Acid rain — more properly termed acid deposition — is a worldwide environmental problem that adversely affects lakes and streams, forest ecosystems, plants and animals, and human health. The course examines this environmental issue from the beginning of the industrial revolution to the present. The science of acid rain — from why and how it forms to what we know about its effects on ecosystems, earth materials, and people — is explored and discussed in detail. For decades New York State received some of the most acidic deposition in the United States; therefore a portion of course time is spent examining the effects of acid deposition in central New York and the Adirondack Mountains, and the potential for recovery of ecosystems to pre-acid rain conditions. Finally, links between science and policy are explored through examination of the Clean Air Act and events leading up to this and subsequent landmark environmental enactments by Congress. Prerequisites: GEOL 201 and at least three additional geology courses. 441 Senior Research Seminar Staff Students engaged in senior or honors research are required to register for this course designed to guide them in the proper preparation of a research paper or honors thesis. Students are instructed in research techniques, including library research, statistical analysis, and other approaches commonly used in the geosciences.

How do you get these giant radios into our little Subies?
I would love to see some photos of recent CB Radio or Ham Radio installs and how the heck did you mount those stink'n long antennas? I've searched the forum and haven't found much and I found much less on google.
I am looking into the Cobra 29 LX (but I don't hink the faceplate is detachable) with a 3' FireStik FireFly antenna, but I have no idea where to put either of them!

Given this epoch of tight budgets in California, it's refreshing to see city leaders focusing on basic government services such as filling potholes and fixing traffic woes.
By most accounts, Poway takes the crown in keeping its pavement in good shape, come foul weather or state money grabs. It's a top priority for the City Council, with candidates typically campaigning on promises to maintain roads.
At least six city workers either fix or look for problems every workday. Contractors rotate through eight zones, upgrading one each summer. Major roads get constant monitoring and repair.
In Escondido, budget woes were so acute that George Weir, a local philanthropist who owns an asphalt company, in 2010 directed his workers to fill potholes for free, a project he expanded through 2011. Now, with the City Council managing its way to a $4.1 million surplus, officials are plowing $5 million into paving roads — a sharp increase from the $1.5 million it typically spends.
City officials also are studying whether to invest in "adaptive" technology, at $40,000 per stoplight, to speed traffic along major roads by synchronizing the lights in response to conditions.
It's hard to overstate the benefits of the surprisingly complex matter of timing the lights. The resulting smooth flow of traffic saves drivers time and fuel. It also keeps people safer, because when lights are set to turn green in the proper sequence, drivers are given powerful incentives to obey the speed limit, lest they accelerate only to stack up at the next red light.
Temecula has extracted enormous benefits from its adaptive red-light timing program, seeing a 14 percent reduction in travel time, a 17 percent improvement in travel speeds, and a 29 percent reduction in stops. Temecula takes its traffic jams seriously, with Mayor Ron Roberts known to call in synchronization problems to city engineers.
Even with such success, city officials aren't satisfied. Next they want to synchronize the city's system with on-ramps to Interstate 15 managed by the California Department of Transportation, as well as with roads linking Temecula to Murrieta and the unincorporated county.
San Marcos has also invested heavily in high-tech signal timing, leveraging state and federal grants to fix notorious clogs on San Marcos Boulevard and Rancho Santa Fe Road, which have become regional arterials as population growth and underinvestment caused steadily deteriorating conditions on Interstate 5 and State Route 78. The job is tougher in San Marcos, because computers must re-sync the lights on major roads every time a Sprinter rail car cuts across them.
Speaking of San Marcos, we were critical when officials closed Nordahl Road at Route 78 during rush hour to do road work. Now that we've seen the results — a mall bottleneck significantly improved — the city deserves our praise.

Hi there from an absolute beginner
I have a fascination with bees and would like to learn more about keeping a hive or two and also developing habitat for bees on my property. I have 1.5 acres with half of it in fruit/avacado trees. My property backs up to a large wash and wilderness which I think would be ideal for bees. I'm looking forward to meeting you all through your posts and learning from your experiences. Any one know of any teaching groups/associations here in or near western San Bernardino County?
Thanks for a reply

jamies new range of food at sainsburys
I bought a jar of jamies tomatoe and basil pasta sauce to see if it was any good.Just out of curiosity as i normally make my own.I was surprised it was really good, not surprised because it's jamies range just surprised because normally i don't like bought sauces. My son woofed it down.I tried it a week later again this time adding bits of bacon, onions and mushrooms to the sauce and pasta, and all my family cleared their plates even my fussy eater of a daughter who is 8. So it is handy to keep in the cupboard on the days when you get back late after going to the zoo or just can't be bothered with too muh cooking. Well done jamie for making a sauce my whole family agrees is worth eating ( as good as mine!

Did a cutout today on a colony of gentle, law-abiding bees in a hollow log. Got very lucky and found and caged the queen in a clip, so the battle is won for hiving.
But one comb has 3 capped swarm cells, so would like to set up some mating nucs. Advice on what to build, # of combs of brood and honey to include, links to instructions on how to do it, volunteers to come to Texas and show me how, etc. would be appreciated

"Economic Motivated Adulteration"
A low cost syrup is added to the honey (as much as 25%-75%) of the syrup is added to the honey. When dealing with 1000's of pounds of honey this can add up to big dollars for an unscrupulous distributor considering the price of most of these syrups is less then 1/3 the price of pure honey.
Speaking with a distributor that handles millions of pounds of honey, you can really not taste the difference. Typical syrups added; cane, inverted beet, corn, rice and or tapioca. The syrups have extremely close sugar profiles to honey and are extremely difficult to detect. And no, there is no simple candle test, dissolve test or pour test that will indicate this. It takes very sophisticated analytical testing techniques to identify if honey has been adulterated.
There are obvious problems with adulteration;
- The honest distributor can not compete even at low margins against products that are not pure but are labeled as such
- Food companyies that use honey in their products are inadvertently breaking the law as they are not labeling the product as containing these syrups
- The consumer does not know what they are ingesting which they have a right to
The real cure to this problem is for distributors and large food companies to start testing the products they handle. It would be useful for the FDA or USDA to also do spot checking to catch the bad guys (I am not talking about checking the small honey producer that sells their jars of honey at a farmer's market but rather the large distributors that sell to large food companies or other distributors or test the honey at food companies themselves)
As mentioned above, testing for adulteration was not easy in the past and required very sophisticated equipment and chemists to operate this equipment. Recently Polarmetrics Corp. has just released an instrument that can determine the amount and type of adulteration in honey. This instrument only requires a drop of sample, takes about 5 minutes to produce a result and literally anyone can be taught how to use the instrument in a matter of minutes. From a cost standpoint this instrument is less expensive then most laboratory instruments and does not require a chemist.
If distributors and large food companies to not start testing for purity then the I am afraid the honey market is doomed to be infiltrated by these adulteration syrups. "These companies are either part of the solution or part of the problem." Claiming ignorance that the product was labeled as pure is not a solution and only encourages the practice.
While Polarmetrics Corp. was developing the calibration for the instrument it was found that 30% of samples that were thought to be pure honey were not.
It is important to note that many times honey is distributed in bulk and mixed with others sources of honey (or thought to be pure honey) One batch of adulterated honey can easily contaminate a large amount of honey.
So what can the local honey producer do to protect their industry? Put pressure on distributors, large food companies and large retail stores to start testing their honey for purity (so they can properly and legally label it correctly) There is also no reason that state or federal organizations can not easily test honey now on a routine basis. Local, state and federal Honey Councils should also lobby for this testing.

Reviews of this property
A lovely apartment with a romantic view, in bustling Montmartre . Safe and secure whilst being in a vibrant part of the city. Apartment is spacious with every convenience. Thanks Herve for sharing - we had a lovely stay
We were looking for a one bedroom apt, north of the Seine with a balcony that had a great view of Paris and wow did this location ever deliver! Located within the neighbourhood of Montmarte, the 8th floor apartment is in a non historic building however surrounded by great buildings including a ten minute walk to Sacre Coure Cathedral through old winding streets. The view from the balcony ( which spans the living room and bedroom) is looking over the charming rooftops and chimneys of Montmarte and an incredible view of Sacre Coure at all times. It is lit up at night so amazing view in the evening as you sip coffee or wine . The tip of the Eiffel Tower is also in sight and easy to see at night with its lights. The apartment also looks down into a green courtyard and the area is remarkably quiet at night considering you are in a high density area. The neighbourhood has grocery stores, cafés, bakeries, meat and fish shops, fruit and veg markets, Asian take out and chocolate shops all within 5 minutes of the apartment so cooking and eating in the apartment is a breeze. The Metro is a 8 minute walk which can which you anywhere in the city. Our host Herve, bilingual in French English was very helpful in our advance booking planning and arranged to meet us at a time of our convenience. The apartment is very secure and we felt completely safe walking in the neighbourhood in the evening as there were lots of people, families, joggers, dog walkers etc. The apartment did not have Wifi, which would be nice to access on site however the local cafe 2 minutes away did so we used it regularly for our next days planning . The bathroom had a bath and shower and a separate toilet. The kitchen also has a great view and was fully equipped with stove, oven, microwave and dishwasher. The bed and pull out coach were both queen size and very spacious and good quality. We would highly recommend this apartment for anyone wanting to experience a great neighbourhood, and daily Paris life as well have convenient access to the sites of Paris.
We (family of 4) have been seduced by this beautiful apartment Hervé Montmartre where we stayed in late December 2013 with our two children aged 13 and 10 years. Very good location, very well maintained and well equipped kitchen. In short, a dream apartment to discover Paris. It offers all the facilities you may need. Can rely on the pictures because nothing is trucqué: what you see is what you get. Fantastic! We strongly recommend this beautiful apartment. Hervé is very welcoming and well organized. We will return for our next raid on Paris.
Nous (famille de 4) avons été séduits par ce joli appartment de Hervé à Montmartre dans lequel nous avons séjourné en fin décembre 2013 avec nos deux enfants de 13 et 10 ans. Très bon emplacement, très bien soigné et avec une cuisine bien équipée. Bref, un appartement de rêve pour découvrir Paris. Il offre toutes les facilités dont on peut avoir besoin. On peut se fier aux photos car rien n´est trucqué:what you see is what you get. Fantastique! Nous recommendons très fortement ce très bel appartement. Hervé est très acceuillant et bien organisé. Nous y retournerons à notre prochaine descente sur Paris.
The description was 100% true, we enjoyed a marvelous view to Sacré Coeur and above the roofs of Paris. We stayed for one week with our two boys in October 2013 and all interior incl. bed and bed-sofa was excellent. All facilities and Metro were nearby on the street and Hervé was very helpful by also personally guiding us the first day when we came. All in all we would very much recommend this Appartment for your short-trip to Paris. Kerstin & Thomas
A wonderful apartment in a great location. Beautiful views of Sacre Coeur and Eiffel Tower tip. Everything was clean and well cared for. Few minutes walk to metro Jules Joffrin and accessible from the Périférique. Well within walking distance of Montmartre, Not cheap but well worth the money!
Een heerlijk appartement op een prima locatie. Prachtig uitzicht op Sacre Coeur en topje Eiffeltoren. Alles was schoon en goed verzorgd. Paar minuten lopen naar metro Jules Joffrin en op loopafstand van Montmartre, goed te bereiken vanaf de Periferique. Niet goedkoop maar het geld zeker waard!
Cozy 2-bedroom apartment with lovely views and located in nice neighborhood, close to 2 metro lines. The apartment was clean and neat and that is what was needed. Herve was helpful and friendly. We stayed for 2 adults and 2 teenagers and it went fine, with 2 sleeping in the living room. Lilian
Hyggelig 2-værelses lejlighed med dejlig udsigt og beliggende i hyggeligt kvarter, ikke langt fra 2 metro-linjer. Lejligheden var ren og pæn og der var, hvad man skulle bruge. Hervè var hjælpsom og venlig.
Vi boede 2 voksne og 2 teenagere og det gik fint, med 2 sovende i stuen.
Nice and clean Appartement located in a safe area of Paris and easy to reach by metro. We enjoyed our stay, when we spent some days in Paris. Everthing was taken care of - no Problems occured.
It is a very nice, quiet apartment rental in 8th Floor (elevator) of an apartment building with direct views of Sacre Coeur and the uppermost tip of the Eiffel Tower. The base is sufficient for up to 4 people, the device completely (also dishwasher). In the street there are several well-stocked supermarkets, baker, greengrocer, etc. The metro (Jules Joffrin) about 5 minutes away, Sacre Coeur about 15min. The landlord had (not present) by cell phone always accessible and very accommodating. Maybe for our next trip to Paris, we will definitely hire them again.
Es handelt sich um eine sehr schöne, ruhige Wohnung mit Charme im 8. Obergeschoss (Aufzug) eines Mehrfamilienhauses mit direktem Blick auf Sacre Coeur und dem obersten Spitz des Eiffelturmes. Die Grundfläche ist ausreichend für bis zu 4 Personen, die Einrichtung komplett (auch Geschirrspüler). In der Straße gibt es mehrere sehr gut sortierte Supermärkte, Bäcker, Obsthändler etc. Die nächste Metro (Jule Joffrin) ca. 5 Gehminuten entfernt, Sacre Coeur ca. 15min. Der Vermieter (nicht anwesend) war per Handy immer erreichbar und sehr zuvorkommend. Für unseren evtl. nächsten Trip nach Paris werden wir sie auf jeden Fall wieder anmieten.
Hervé pretty little apartment is located at the foot of Mont Martre and offers everything for a few days in Paris makes it beautiful: view of Sacre Coeur, well served by public transport, many shops and restaurants in the neighborhood. Absolutely empehlenswert!
Hervés hübsche, kleine Wohnung liegt am Fuss des Mont Martre und bietet alles, was ein paar Tage in Paris schön macht: Sicht auf Sacré Coeur, gut mit öffentlichem Verkehr erschlossen, viele Läden und Restaurants im Quartier. Absolut empehlenswert!

There are the usual ways of spelling out your support for a candidate, and then there's this weekend's "Bike Write for Obama."
Sarah Sandman, 28, is organizing a group "typographic bike ride" across Providence on Sunday to signal support Barack Obama for president and to promote alternative forms of transportation.
The idea is that the eight-mile pedal, which begins at 2 pm outside the Providence Center, at Hope and Cypress streets, and ends at Broad and Saratoga streets, will spell out Obama's slogan "Yes we can" — so you can see it from the air. Expect some doubling back as riders stay within the lines.
"I'm a grad student in graphic design, so I'm constantly trying to find ways to reinvent typography," Sandman says. "The idea of a group, to not only have a message, but to also be literally writing it, is really powerful, I think."
The ride will include three stops along the way to hand out pro-Obama fliers. All are welcome to join in the ride. Sandman is asking participants to wear yellow; she'll be selling $6 event T-shirts. Additional info can be found at the Steel Yard blog (thesteelyard.blogspot.com).
"I feel like traditional canvassing is so expected," Sandman says. "When people approach me with a clipboard, it's like: how many times has this happened? You just turn your attention away." She hopes Sunday's ride "shows another level of dedication to the cause."
Obama's positions, Sandman says, are more in tune with her ideals of sustainable living than his opponent's: "His environmental policies just sound a little bit better than what McCain's offering" — "Drill, baby, drill."
One of the people helping Sandman organize the ride is her bike-art pal Melissa Small, 27, who is also working towards master's degrees in graphic design at RISD.
Between June 14 and August 30, the two women biked from Providence to Seattle as part of their "Gift Cycle" tour. They stopped at 12 communities along the way, each time giv-ing away art made by people at their previous stop in exchange for art by people at their current location, which they in turn passed along at the next stop, and so on.
Here and there people joined them for bits of their trip, or rode with them out of town. "Every time it would happen, it was the most empowering experience," Sandman says.
"We're just interested in exploring new ways of communication," Small says of Sunday's ride. "I'm hoping it invites conversations with people along the way, people we wouldn't necessarily meet or talk to in our day-to-day lives."

Thyroid and Metabolism
The thyroid is one of the larger endocrine or hormone-producing glands in the body. It's located at the base of the neck, below the Adam's apple and controls how your body burns energy and makes protein. It also plays a role in other hormone functions.
To do all this, the thyroid secretes the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which are essential in regulating body temperature and basal metabolism.
The most common problem of the thyroid gland is hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). In more rare cases, people suffer from hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). Because of its role in basal metabolism, when the thyroid is out of balance, the body is out of balance.
The main symptoms of slow thyroid function are fatigue, low body temperature and weight gain. When you shake hands with someone who always has cold hands, they may have a slow thyroid. Or if someone is always cold, they may have a slow thyroid. The reason is every process that goes on inside our bodies requires energy.
Nutritional Support for Proper Thyroid Function
The thyroid requires specific nutrients to function properly. Without them, it cannot activate the thyroid hormones. Combination thyroid supplements such as Lindberg Thyroid Support can help optimize your thyroid to perform on a higher level than it could on its own.
Healthy thyroid function is dependent on a range of nutrients, especially selenium and folic acid. Recent research has shown selenium is critical to thyroid function. Vitamins B6 and B12 provide a balance of nutrients, while trace minerals support thyroid health.*
Ayurvedic herbs gum guggl extract and ashwagandha have been used in India for thousands of years for weight management and increasing tolerance to stress.*
The balance of zinc and copper is important in maintaining normal thyroid function.*
Lindberg Thyroid Support provides all the most researched ingredients you need to support the proper functioning of your thyroid and maintain overall health.*
Supports Normal Thyroid Function*
Thyroid Support is a complete nutritional supplement designed to support normal thyroid function. The thyroid gland regulates your metabolism and is important for overall health.*
The primary ingredients selenium, tyrosine and iodine are essential for normal thyroid secretion production. The herb extracts, guggul and ashwagandha, are known for their ability to support healthy metabolism.*
