Agencies Preparing To Fight Hydrilla In Lake Conroe
AUSTIN, Texas — In an effort to avoid repeating a scenario that occurred here more than 25 years ago, the San Jacinto River Authority and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department are making plans to control hydrilla and protect native vegetation in Lake Conroe.
Hydrilla in the lake has been increasing despite repeated efforts by the two agencies to control its spread with herbicides. "Hydrilla became a serious problem on the lake in the late 1970s, causing significant problems for boaters, skiers and swimmers," says Dave Terre, TPWD's Regional Director of Inland Fisheries in Tyler. "At that time it was controlled with grass carp, but the number of fish used was too large, resulting in damage to desirable native plants."
TPWD restored native vegetation in the lake, but the resurgence of hydrilla now threatens its existence. "We cannot let hydrilla get back to the levels it once was," says Terre. "If left unchecked, hydrilla can have negative impacts on recreational users as well as create areas of low dissolved oxygen that will be harmful to fish. It will also out-compete more desirable native aquatic plants that provide good habitat for fish"
TPWD and SJRA are developing an Integrated Pest Management plan that will emphasize the use of a variety of strategies to control hydrilla in its early stages. Possible control methods include the minimal use of herbicides, limited numbers of grass carp and perhaps other biological or mechanical methods. "TPWD has successfully used pest management in the past and will carefully monitor the lake, no matter what methods are used," Terre says.
Hydrilla, a plant from Asia thought to have been introduced to the United States by the aquarium industry, is considered to be one of the world's worst aquatic weeds. Unlike most native aquatic plants, hydrilla forms dense mats of vegetation at the water's surface in 15-20 feet of water. Hydrilla covered about 40 percent of Lake Conroe in 1981, some 8,400 acres. A recent survey found the plant infests about 868 acres; a substantial increase from 2002 when it occupied only three acres.
For more information about the hydrilla control effort, contact: Earl Chilton, (512) 389-4652 or email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com, (979) 822-5067.

Combining the strengths of the liberal arts within the context of interdisciplinary studies in biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and statistics, the bioinformatics major prepares students for a world that relies on collaboration.
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary area of study involving the collection, storage, retrieval, management and analysis of biological information resulting from a myriad of projects ranging from the sequencing of genomes to drug discovery. Understanding the relationship between linear sequences of DNA, the structure and function of proteins, and the associated scientific, health and ethical implications of this information is considered one of the greatest challenges in 21st-century science.

Place the radishes, water and umeboshi plums in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and reduce the flame to medium-low. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the plum and discard or use in another dish. Place the radishes in a serving bowl. Slowly add the diluted kuzu to the radish cooking water, stirring constantly until the liquid becomes thick. Pour over the radishes and garnish with parsley.
If the radishes have the radish greens attached, they can be washed, blanched 1 minute in boiling water and chopped. The greens are very attractive when placed in the center of the bowl and surrounded by the radishes.

The Big East held a one-day meeting in Dallas on Friday and released a statement afterward, saying it was "very productive" and "encouraged about moving forward" and "confirmed our common vision for the future."
It did not say whether that vision includes San Diego State.
SDSU Athletic Director Jim Sterk attended the meetings, as did university President Elliot Hirshman, and it was viewed as a final chance for the Big East to retain the Aztecs in football for next season. SDSU has been holding ongoing talks with the Mountain West about staying in all sports, and a decision is expected next week.
Other than a one-paragraph statement that his school is evaluating its options, Sterk has remained quiet about SDSU's future conference affiliation since Boise State announced it would not join the Big East in football and Big West in all other sports. Sterk declined comment again Friday through a spokesman.
As part of Boise State's agreement to stay in the Mountain West, it included a clause that SDSU gets "right of first option" to stay as well, with a Jan. 31 deadline to accept or reject an offer to become the conference's 12th football member. Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson has said he is in daily contact with Sterk.
"I'm always kept abreast of what's going on," SDSU football coach Rocky Long said at a news conference Friday to discuss new offensive coordinator Bob Toledo. "I don't have an opinion. Wherever they put us, we'll play whoever shows up. In my opinion, I think it's 50-50 right now. I'm not in the inner circle, I'm not on the conference calls.
"I don't think it's been decided, but I think it's going to happen quickly."
An interested bystander, certainly, is Big West Commissioner Dennis Farrell. His conference stands to gain a $1.5 million penalty from SDSU if it doesn't join as planned in July in most sports except football. But it is one large check he would prefer not receiving.
"I'm hoping San Diego State finds a future with the Big East in football," Farrell, an SDSU alum, said Friday night, "because we certainly want the Aztecs. We've delivered what we said we would to San Diego State in terms of media exposure and TV exposure in men's basketball.
"I don't want to lose the Aztecs, yet at the same time I totally understand and appreciate that this is a football issue and they have to do what they think is best for their school."
SDSU had successfully lobbied a reluctant Big West membership to provide Boise State a home for its other sports so it could also join the Big East in football. Boise State President Bob Kustra then used that leverage to cut a better deal with the Mountain West.
"I've been in this business a long time, 32 years," Farrell said. "I don't let anything bother me too much. I will say this: I was disappointed. But this is a strange time we are going through in intercollegiate athletics. They were upfront with me. They let me know what was happening. But that still doesn't erase the disappointment."
Few details from the Dallas meeting emerged Friday. Memphis Athletic Director Tom Bowen told the Commercial Appeal that SDSU officials "fully participated" in the meeting but declined to elaborate.
"There is a much stronger sense of, this is where we're going," SMU President Gerald Turner told the Dallas Morning News. "Everybody is excited about the future. It's just a matter of getting everything worked out. Most of the issues of instability are over. We're ready to move forward."

Here's something you may have noticed about me, I don't normally wear shorts. I'm not really a big fan. Especially, since the styles have been pretty short lately. Just not my thing. But, now that Bermuda shorts are making a comeback for the summer, you just might see me in a pair.
Also knows as "walking shorts" or "city shorts," Bermuda shorts are longer in length usually to the knee. Anything a lot shorter or longer is not a Bermuda short. That's just an FYI. And after a little research, I found out this style of shorts originated with the British Army. They wore them as a way to stay cool in tropical and desert climates. The name originated due to their popularity on the island of Bermuda.
As you'll see below, they come in a lot of different colors, denim washes, and materials. Some are cuffed and distressed. What separates these from regular shorts is their tailored cut, which brings them closer to the body. Check out the 16 pairs I found below in a range of prices.

Hollywood scores top marks in its faith report
Hollywood scores top marks in its faith report
In his latest book, about belief among Hollywood actors, the American author Ray Comfort considers famous stars' attachment to spiritual values. Reports under headlines such as "I believe in God," "I pray every night," "Not a day goes by without my giving thanks to God," "God protect you and our country" and "Thanks be to God," have frequently appeared in the press in recent years. This report, carried in the Turkish daily Sabah, concerned the belief in God of such artists as Whitney Houston, Jim Carrey, Halle Berry, Ben Affleck, Madonna, Denzel Washington and Britney Spears.
Halle Berry: "I know there is God, God is with me and protects me at all times. I always … pray. My powerful faith allows me to keep my feet more firmly on the ground."
Whitney Houston: "I was raised to be attached to my religious beliefs, and I still am. I believe In God."
Denzel Washington: "I have never doubted the existence of God. I have felt God's hand on me all through my life. I have an endless belief in God and the Bible. Faith gives me strength."

Competition Series: Iron Grip IWF Spec Olympic Bar
Explosive Lifting is Back
In The USA
This International Weightlifting Federation secification Olympic Weightlifting bar is so new that the "studio" photos are not even ready yet. The photo you see to the left is a pre-production proto-type that we approved at Atomic Athletic. The production model has round inside collars, but if you want to try out our model, you are more than welcome. The action is the same.
Well over a year of testing went into this bar. As you may know, Atomic Athletic President, Roger LaPointe, was the Olympic Lifting Advisor for the York Barbell Company during the mid-1990s, when all the York competition grade equipment was recertified by the IWF. Well, if you were lucky enough to lift on one of those York bars made during that 2 year period, then you will have a good idea what this bar feels like. Of course, there were a couple of changes that make this bar even better...
If you have a clue about the cost of an IWF spec bar, then you know how good a price this one is. I would not wait around to get yours ordered.

A CHARITY challenge to help raise funds for a new women's health unit will take place for the fourth year this summer.
The Twilight Walk for Women returns to Bournemouth seafront in June, with all money going to the Jigsaw Appeal at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital.
And organisers from the Bournemouth Hospital Charity are calling on everyone to join in and take part in a 1km, 5km or 10km walk along the prom.
Last year, more than 350 former patients, residents and hospital staff helped to raise £20,000 by strolling in their pink Twilight t-shirts at sunset.
Consultant gynaecologist Alex Taylor, said: "The Twilight Walk is a fantastic event – it really puts women's health in the spotlight and helps to raise awareness of important health issues.
"A new women's health unit is currently being built and will be in the brand new Jigsaw building. "However, we still need the public's support to help buy new equipment for the unit."
This year's walk will take place on Friday, June 6 at 8pm.
Registration forms can be picked up from the charity office in the main entrance at the hospital, or copies can be downloaded at bournemouthhospitalcharity.co.uk Registration is £15 per person, and fancy dress is optional.

The fruit trees all went away — death by choice. And Hathaway and Hull set about turning the remints of an orchard into their own private show garden.
"This house is over 100 years old," Hathaway explained, "so the orchard came first, and the house, second."
Now nestled among their colorful flowers and decorative trees, there's a birdbath and a hummingbird feeder hanging from a lattice, as well as three sitting areas, a patio table with an umbrella and five chairs. Halfway down the left side of the garden, two chairs with a small table between them invite a tête-à-tête. And in the far left corner, a bench nestles under the birch trees.
"That pink-flowering dogwood tree outside our sitting parlor is the first tree we planted," Hull remembers. "It was a gift from our former neighbors."
"We have planted every tree and bush that is on this property," Hathaway adds. "We have put in all the arbors and plant boxes and grapevines."
No hired help: They do all their own maintenance.
Preserving privacy
Originally, when this house was built in 1908, it was the first house in in the neighborhood. The old Children's Hospital was behind where Safeway is now located.
Their home has had only three owners, Hathaway and Hull being the third. Bertha Guggi, a little Swiss woman, was the second. But there is very little known about the original owner.
"In 1981, we were already living on Queen Anne," Hathaway reminisced. "We actually lived next door to the house we bought from Mrs. Guggi. That apartment building has been now replaced by condos (Barcelona Court).
"We raised our children, Elliott and Amelia, here," she continued. "Elliott was 2 when we moved into this house in 1983. He is 31 now, and Amelia is 27."
When Guggi's husband passed in the 1960s, she took in boarders. So when their children grew up and moved out, Hathaway and Hull followed suit, turning their house into a guesthouse/boardinghouse. They named it "Suite Bigelow."
They have since planted trees to create a barrier between their home and Barcelona Court.
"We wanted privacy," Hull explained. "There's a Korean dogwood in the front part of our property. And when the three-story, box-style houses were built outside the back corner of our garden, we planted birch trees for additional cover."
Colorful, fragrant backdrop
Their garden contains lilacs, a grape arbor and maple trees. "We have red maples," Hull said, "one at the front in a pot and one in the ground, and we have vine maples."
There's also a magnolia tree in the back with pretty, pink, teacup flowers, plus one white lilac bush and one purple one. And there is jasmine, as well as tall columns of colorful sweet peas. Other flowers include purple, white and pink clematis and zinnias. But Hill advises that this is not the best climate for zinnias: They like it really hot and really dry.
Most of all, there are no tomatoes and veggies.
"I decided that I wanted flowers and fragrance more than I wanted a bell pepper," Hathaway proclaims, "so we planted white lilies called 'Casablancas.' It's an Oriental lily and my favorite variety. They are majestic, late-summer bloomers."
As for the roses, Hull insists, "They've always been Louise's roses; I'm just the one who tends them.
"We've had our dahlias for 20 years," Hathaway said. "The peonies are also wonderful in the spring — we have cerise and magenta. Those are the only flowers left over from Mrs. Guggi's era."
"But the most magnificent flora we have in our garden is the white wisteria that blooms in late May," Hull said. "Nobody has wisteria like that."
"The garden smells really special at different times of the year," Hathway chimes in. "In the spring, it smells like Daphne, which is always a beautiful smell, and of course, the lilacs. And our 'Casablanca' lilies are at their best right now."
A pathway, surrounded by vines and various foliage leads to the front of the house, where the cousin to the 'Casablanca' lily reigns. Up the front steps, just below the porch level, more white lilies thrive. Below, on the west side of the house, another path leads back to the garden, guarded by the tall, pink dogwood tree.
Over the years, the 6-foot trees they planted have grown to 30 feet high. Woodpeckers come through, as do goldfinches and hummingbirds. As if by signal, a tiny hummingbird flutters its way to a high branch of a nearby tree.
"Nowadays," Hathaway said, smiling, "I just sit outside and bask in the flora and fauna."

About the Book
This book is a collection of art, poetry and essays written and created by Georgia native, Amy Karissa Miller. The overall theme is finding beauty from ashes, pleasure from pain, and finding yourself after years of being lost.
About the Creator
I am an artist, aspiring writer, mother, wife and non-traditional college student and Believer. It took me 32 years to overcome the crippling pain of depression and addiction. I still battle, I still conquer. At fourteen, writing and creating art took hold of me fiercely. It was and still is my therapy. I have been heavily influenced by the south as I was born and raised in Georgia. I lived most of my young adulthood in Atlanta but longed for environmental tranquility. That longing led me to the mountains of Idaho where I currently reside. I am a folk painter venturing out into sculpture and installation works. I am a writer coming out of hiding.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Volusia County's 911 system has been restored Wednesday evening after an outage that lasted hours.
Local 6 has learned people received a recorded message when calling for emergencies.
VCSO reports that according to AT&T, it was not a problem with the 911 system and it was a countywide network problem caused by a trunk group failure that affected phone systems between the times of 1:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.
VCSO reported that the 911 call issue was restored just after 5:30 p.m.
The issue affected both landlines and cellphones, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies said anyone who receives the recorded message should hang up immediately and call (386) 252-4911 to reach the Emergency Communications Center.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/2/2013 (1634 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A weekend of sold-out shows in San Francisco last week. A cluster of sold-out shows in Winnipeg this week.
It's pretty clear that even two decades after his exit from Saturday Night Live, Rob Schneider remains a hot ticket among comedy fans.
"It's really nice, and very gratifying" says Schneider, 49, who is performing 10 sold-out shows (Wednesday, Feb. 27 to Sunday, March 3) at Rumor's Comedy Club. "I feel like all the stuff I've done over the years has added up. You can say, 'He's still here?' and that's OK. I don't mind. It has been a journey, and the only reason I'm still doing it is because I feel like I'm just getting started."
For the local comedy club, Schneider's popularity has created both an opportunity and a logistical challenge. Shows for the engagement -- originally the standard Thursday-to-Sunday booking that most big-name "concert series" acts get -- sold out so quickly that management was forced to approach the comic about adding dates.
Wednesday and Thursday are traditionally one-show nights at Rumor's, and the club is closed on Sundays, but the demand for tickets prompted the addition of extra midweek shows and an unprecedented pair of Sunday-night performances.
The club's general manager, Tyler Schultz, said 10 sold-out shows over five nights likely amounts to the busiest week in Rumor's Comedy Club's history.
And despite the fact it's been almost 20 years since Schneider ended his four-season run (1990-94) on SNL, his subsequent big-screen efforts (including Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, The Hot Chick, The Animal and appearances in several of fellow SNL alumnus Adam Sandler's films) and a couple of TV projects (Men Behaving Badly, Rob) have saved the San Francisco-born comedian from doing the pop-culture disappearing act that has plagued many former Saturday Night Live regulars.
"I think the generosity and friendship of Adam Sandler has had a lot to do with it," Schneider says, explaining that the camaraderie that he, Sandler, David Spade, Chris Rock and the late Chris Farley developed as the young-gun crew on the early-'90s version of the NBC show carried over into their post-SNL careers.
"Adam would literally lift us up. He would bring us along, because he wanted to be around his friends. I remember once when Spade and I got into some stupid argument and didn't talk for a while, Adam put us both into a movie so we would have to do it together.
"That's Adam Sandler -- even when he became a huge star, he just wanted to have his friends around, because that's what was the most fun for him."
Schneider adds that one such hanging-with-Sandler moment turned out to be a life-changing event for him.
"My career was kind of in the toilet a dozen or so years ago, and Adam said, 'Write your own movie,'" he recalls. "I said, 'I don't know how to do that,' and he said, 'Just write something.' So I tried it, and I got about 85 pages into the script, and I showed it to him on a plane when we were on our way to promote something, and he started laughing so hard. He said, 'Dude, you have to finish this.'
"As soon as the plane landed, I said I was going to fly back home to finish it. But he said, 'No, stay here for a couple of days so we can hang out and have some fun, and then go finish it. If you stay and hang out and have some laughs, I'll produce the movie.' ... So he produced Deuce Bigalow, and it made $350 million worldwide and changed my life."
Speaking of major life events, Schneider says he has drawn much comedic inspiration from the joy and insomniac stresses of becoming a father again at almost 50 (he has a grown daughter from an earlier marriage, but he and wife Patricia Azarcoya Arce welcomed daughter Miranda last November).
"It has helped me a lot, because it completely throws your life out the window," he says. "It's like, before baby/after baby, and you feel like it's impossible to get anything done... You're not sleeping regularly, and it makes you kind of crazy -- which is actually very good for standup.
"Personally, my life is pretty much upside down right now, but my writing is on fire. I think it's because of the new baby -- the left-brain, structural side of your body gets exhausted after a while, and the right side, the creative side, kind of takes over."

ST. MARYS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio will treat its largest inland lake this spring with a chemical aimed at heading off toxic algae blooms that have hurt area tourism.
The state says it will treat all 13,000 acres of Grand Lake St. Marys with aluminum sulfate beginning April 1. The alum helps neutralize phosphorous that gets into the lake from manure and chemical runoffs. The phosphorous feeds blue-green algae and produces a nerve toxin that can sicken humans and kill animals.
The toxic algae led to previous lake closures and advisories against swimming and boating and even to warnings against touching the water.
This year's alum treatment will start two months earlier than last year's. Officials say that should allow phosphorous to bind to the alum more effectively and improve water quality.

Okay guys, listen to me when I say – you have to hire a videographer! Being the crazy, obsessed with weddings person that I am, I had watched hundreds of wedding videos and knew that I wanted a videographer at my wedding long before I was even engaged. The moments they can capture that your photographers don't will be something that you will cherish forever. Words cannot even express how much my husband and I love this video.
Aqua Vivus Productions based out of San Diego, CA filmed and edited our same day video, which the guests at our wedding viewed during the reception. It was absolutely beautiful and everyone was floored with how amazing and fast Tom and Chris edited the footage. As soon as the ceremony ended and we moved to the reception room, they began putting our clips together with a song that I picked out – White Dress by Ben Rector. The song couldn't have been anymore perfect. I'm so excited to share with all of you!
Ryan + Kristena Same Day Premiere from AQUA VIVUS on Vimeo.
We should be receiving our full length, 20-30 min wedding film in a few months, but this is a great teaser until then! My husband and I are so happy that we have this to watch for years to come, it's something that helps us relive our wedding day over and over again
