Sports Championships To Blow Your Mind
Ronaldo, Pogba and Kane, just some of the names you're going to hear being yelled in ecstasy from your television set this summer. What about names like Payne, Kopyniak, Tarasenko and Dayson?
These are the athletes from lesser known sports that will keep you on the edge of your seats. Get ready for thrills and spills, crushed dreams and tears of joy as teams compete for another kind of glory.
The tournament tours five countries as athletes compete to accumulate the most points and be crowned champions.
2 Ice Hockey World Championship
Russia will play host to a sporting event that is guaranteed to entertain. If the EUROS are too soft for your liking, chances are that this is right up your street. Taking place from 6 to 22 May, the tournament will bring together sixteen teams seeking glory.
Expect some amazing goals, saves and scuffles over the course of the event, with the likes of Canada, USA and of course Russia competing against each other.
3 World Ultimate and Guts Championships
It's not only got one of the best names going, the WUGC is home to one of fastest growing sports in the UK and around the world. We are of course talking about Ultimate Frisbee, which was recognised by the International Olympics Committee in 2015.
The flying disc sport is coming to London with the Championships taking place from 18 to 25 June. There are expected to be 2,000 athletes from 35 countries competing in five divisions including Men's, Women's and Mixed. Single day and week-long tickets are still available to buy, so what are you waiting for?
4 Sled Racing - NVSDC Classic
Try something different and get on over to Australia to enjoy the NVSDC Classic at Kialla West, one of the biggest annual dry-land sled dog events. The tournament will take place on 11 June over the Queen's birthday weekend.
Don't try and tell us that doesn't look fun. These dogs mean serious business and they're out to win it. It's also the perfect excuse to travel Down Under and enjoy sled dog racing, camping and fun in the bush.
5 World Pole Sports Championships
Pole sport? Yes, set aside any preconceptions you might have. You try accomplishing the feats these male and female athletes pull off in this physically demanding sport and tell us it's not worth your time.
The event takes place in London from 23 to 24 July and will have 150 competitors from 30 different countries competing against one another. Tickets are still available if you want to see up close the strength, flexibility, power and balance needed to be the best of the best.

I have something to say and I don't know what it is. I have something to do and I don't know what it is. I don't know yet.
My journey to Haiti began long before I arrived, and has not ended. Never will.
I don't know when it began. Here's what I remember.
There were news stories. There were stories from Steve's childhood of a former neighbor. There are people I know.
There were hurricanes. A blog. There was another that embedded a news story in February 2009 of how Haitians are eating dirt baked into cookies to fill their stomachs.
There was a stirring. Prayer. A phone call received. Another made. There was a connection. Decisions. Immunizations. There was action.
There was travel. Worship. Work. Play. Laughter. Dust. Beans and rice. Braids, some of them reddish from malnutrition.
There was an earthquake.
There is now.
There are many ways to help.
Here's one.
Grateful #262. "My" people in Haiti are ok.

Paying Student-Athletes: NCAA Not Throwing in the Towel Yet
On January 23, 2014 By Caitlin Buckstaff January 24, 2014
Should college athletes be paid for their performance? Should athletic programs pay college athletes for using the athletes in marketing and business ventures? Two different questions and two highly debated, yet predictable, responses. If you ask this question to current and former college athletes, the answer to both is likely to be "yes" — but [...]Continue Reading →
Amateurs, Pimps, and Freebies: Who Are Antitrust Laws Protecting in the NCAA?
On October 22, 2010 By Andrew Harline February 8, 2017
Money talks. So do shady sports agents, apparently. The most recent edition of Sports Illustrated contains one agent's confession regarding the dirty-side of being a sports agent — paying off college athletes as a means of gaining clientele.

Settlement Leaves NCAA Rule in Force
On October 13, 2009 By JETLaw October 13, 2009
A fundamental precept of college athletics is amateurism. That is part of the charm of college sports, and the NCAA is committed to keeping it that way. However, in February, an Ohio court ruling declared that one rule aiming to preserve this quality goes too far.
The rule, NCAA bylaw 188.8.131.52, prohibits [...]Continue Reading →

Moonlit vistas await you in this five hour workshop devoted to shooting Cape Cod after dark. Night photographer and author Timothy Little will give you a solid foundation upon which to begin your journey into low light and night photography. Learn to shoot using only the light of the full moon, ambient light or flashlights and see familiar places in new ways. Experience the photography opportunities that Cape Cod offers after the sun sets.
The group will meet at the Four Points Sheraton in Eastham for a discussion and slideshow before heading out to nearby locations on the outer Cape for a moonlit shoot. Limit 10 participants.
We'll be discussing the following and much more:
- Low ISO long exposures vs high ISO short exposures – when and why?
- Shooting the moon/Shooting away from the moon and determining your aperture.
- Recording movement of light.
- Focusing in the dark.
- Light painting.
- Night photographer safety.
- Relying on your talent, not your computer: Create "organic" photos using your eyes as your guide, not based on post production expectations.
- Color temperature – capturing the silvery light of the moon, and squashing streetlights.
- Preparing for different night environments: Landscapes, Cities and Fireworks.
- Have fun! I don't like boring lectures, and you probably don't either. We're going to have a fun time, share some laughs and get some great photos.
Attendees will receive your choice of a signed copy of Tim's hardcover book "Cape Cod Nights" or an 8×10 photographic print.
Enrollment is $195 and is strictly limited to 10 attendees.
Who Can Take This Workshop?
All though all skill levels are welcome, you should be comfortable adjusting your camera's manual settings (specifically ISO, aperture, exposure time). It's okay if you don't understand why you are making these adjustments, just know how to access them in your camera. If you're not able to make these adjustments during the day, it will be impossible for you to learn how in the dark.
You must own:
1) A digital SLR camera that has the ability to change lenses. This camera must have a "bulb" setting and be able to take exposures of several minutes.
2) A shutter release cable. This is not the free wireless remote you received with your camera. This is a specialized cable with a locking switch. They are not all that expensive, but they do not come with your camera.
3) A sturdy tripod.

While you may have the perfect trade show booth or display, your staff may scare off any attendees your exhibit manages to attract. Smash Hit Displays specializes in superior displays and exhibits as well as useful advice on habits your staff should avoid while positioned at your booth.
1. Talk With Each Other
While there s no reason your staff shouldn t bond and enjoy themselves at the trade show, they should be sure their sole focus is on attendees. If someone steps up to your booth and your hosts are so engrossed in conversation that they fail to notice, that person will more than likely walk away with a lasting bad impression. Ensure your staff conveys a sense of interest and remains approachable.
2. Use Phones or Tablets
Unless a staff member is showing an attendee something on a phone or tablet related to your company, there s no reason they should be on an electronic device while stationed at your booth. Being on a phone or tablet is no different than your representatives talking with each other. In both instances attendees feel ignored and unwanted.
3. Practice Poor Oral Hygiene
No matter how brief or long a conversation is, not one wants to stand in a show display area where it smells like something died in the speaker s mouth. Be sure your staff brushes after every meal or at least pops a mint. Offensive breath can scare a person away no matter how fantastic a presentation is. Gum should be avoided as a way to freshen breath since chewing and talking at the same time can come across as rude. On a related note, make sure anyone positioned at your booth isn t wearing too much perfume, cologne or lotion.
4. Focus Solely on Making a Sale
Not everyone who stops by your booth does so because they want to buy whatever product or service you re selling, and it s essential that your staff realizes this. That doesn t mean your staff shouldn t try to sell your company s products or services, just that they should recognize when doing so is and isn t appropriate. Have your staff ask attendees what brought them to your booth and go from there. Sometimes simply giving a person the right information and letting them digest it on their own time and terms is enough to turn them into a loyal customer.
While we may not be able to assist you in finding the right individuals to staff at your booth, the experts of Smash Hit Displays can help you select the perfect sized displays and exhibits for your next trade show. Let us know if you ever have any questions about buying or renting a display.

Common Core Math. Most parents hate it. Why I have grown to appreciate it.
I admit it! I hate common core math! To me it IS a common chore, but having a child with a learning disability made me change my tune.
YOU Are Your Best Advocate!
You keep experiencing those health symptoms but your doctor isn't listening to you. You know your child is struggling in school but her teachers do not feel there is an issue. What do you do?
No, not from high school…. from the Children's Dyslexia Center. Children's Dyslexia Centers, Inc. provides tutoring at no charge to children from early elementary through high school who have been diagnosed as dyslexic. Children are eligible regardless of economic status or Masonic affiliation. The positive impact of early intervention on the lives of these children and their families is enormous and inspires our commitment to this program.
Free Help For Dyslexia
As I stated in yesterday's post, my daughter has dyslexia. Learning Disabilities can be frustrating for both child and parent but help is just a phone call away. My daughter's teacher introduced us to the Children's Dyslexia Center run by The Scottish Rite Masons, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction. There are centers all over the country. There is a screening process as well as a rather long wait list.
This will be my daughter's third and last year. She graduates in June although she still has her summer course to complete. She has grown so much since beginning this venture. The center uses the Orton-Gillingham method which involves multi-sensory teaching. We travel there twice a week for an hour of learning. The tutors volunteer and the funding is provided by the masons via fundraisers including pie sales, car washes and walks.
"Dyslexia is an inherited neurological disorder that affects the way people learn to read and speak as well as how they process things mathematically. Dyslexia affects one out of every five people, and affects boys and girls in equal numbers. Children left with untreated dyslexia often suffer devastating personal consequences. It is the number one reason teenagers drop out of school, and is a primary factor in juvenile delinquency. Research reveals that children with untreated dyslexia can become underachieving adults unable to contribute to society at their fullest capacity." Children's Dyslexia Center
Famous Dyslexics
Knowing When Your Child's Inabilities Are Not Normal
When my son, Tyler, was a preschooler, I would try to work with him on numbers, letters, shapes, colors and all the other things a "good parent" teaches her child. Between the preschool he attended and I, he knew the difference between a "v" and a "w", what an "8" was and how the diamond was different than a square. However, he struggled with colors. We would go over them and go over them and he still did not get it. Frustrated, I felt he wasn't applying himself – that he would rather play with his matchbox cars than learn what purple was. It wasn't until a field trip with his kindergarten class that made me think differently.

RE: [agile-usability] user tasks aren't stories
Expand Messages
- Hey Jeff,This sounds about right I think. Not sure its a bad thing.A story is "a promise for a conversation". During your "conversation" you work through the goals, and figure you will make "dumb UI 1.0". You estimate it, you do it. Next iteration you evaluate things again, and maybe from the same ucd task you figure you will make "dumb UI 126.96.36.199". I think the only important thing is that you can come up with the most important things to do for each iteration.I think the concept of "story" is :-A guide to make sure you are creating a slice of a system that works rather than a layer within a system that provides no direct valueIts achievable within an iterationcan be used to make value choices - and value can include - estimated time, cost, risk, etcIf you were an XP teams customer and you were doing UCD "secretly". Could you work out the most important thing to do every iteration? Could you provide guidance to the developers during that iteration? (not that Im suggesting you would want to work this way). If so I don't think it really matters if you have a 1 to 1 mapping or not.That's my random thoughts anyways....Regards,Keith

Subject: [agile-usability] user tasks aren't stories
This isn't a question so much as an observation. A fact has been
slowly sinking into my head, so I thought I'd throw it out here for
comment. [this is proof I actually need a blogger.]
I've done UCD stuff for a while. I've followed a quick sequential
process of identifying organizational goals, then user contituencies,
user goals, and finally tasks user might do to meet their goals. I
then made the assertion that I could simple feed the tasks into an XP
style planning game as stories - then let XP or some other agile
process run its course with heave involvement from UCD people on the
customer side.
But, I'm finding some dissonence between the concept of story and the
user task.
A story has the quality if being estimable - developers can estimate
how long it will take to build it. It's testable: we can write
acceptance tests for it - both automated and manual - often both are
A task is thing a user does to meet one of their goals. Given that
understanding we can describe some human-computer interaction and
design some user interface.
Here's where things go wrong.
When designing the task, I can easily break it up into a bare bones
interaction design and user interface. A design that might make it a
bit hard on the user, but is sufficient to validate an overall
approach. I often learn a bit from this initial design, and might
change the human-computer interaction significantly in response. The
quality of the task interactions might be improved in successive
iterations. The task could always be improved - I just stop when
it's good enough. And, even if it feels good enough now, as more
functionality is added to the system, I might find a task no longer
works well in the context of the rest of its tasks. Basically tasks,
which encapsulates a user and his/her goals, are never really
finished. I'm always continuously validating that user goals are
met - and adjusting if things changed.
To satisfy an agile approach, a story must be completeable. User
tasks, as I use them, don't satisfy that.
In the past I managed this dissonance by breaking down user
stores/user tasks into bits of development work. I let myself be
comfortable with the fact that a story was never really completed -
although development tasks were. But as I move into other agile
development environments that don't have a discipline of UCD, I'm
finding that idea doesn't play so well. There's more concern in
those environments that stories have an end.
User tasks could work if I did the design all the way. If I
described the task in sufficent detail that change was unlikely. If
I described the tasks around that task such that its context wouldn't
change it. But that the big design that agile people cringe at.
And, I'm not good enough at design to be too sure of my design work
without seeing and touching it in code. So, that level of big design
doesn't work for me.
In short strokes, I'm just getting that user tasks don't map one-to-
one with user stories. I'm not sure exactly what to do about that.
thinking out loud.

Nicaragua: From Masaya to Isla Ometepe
Once again we found ourselves in a rented car, another white Nissan. It was a little more beat up than the one of the same model we'd rented in Costa Rica, creating a nice visual metaphor for the two countries. In fact I prefer a beat up rental, it puts my mind at ease as we chug over rutted roads and through paint scratching shrubbery.We first paid a visit to Volcan Masaya, a smoke belching cauldron that at night gives off an eerie red glow. The visitor center and parking lot near the rim were badly damaged in an eruption last year, so the things to see were extremely limited, but the steaming caldera was worth staring into if only to get a sense of the mountain's potency. In the 16th century a Spanish priest decided it was the mouth to hell and did an exorcism to lock the demons in. The cross he planted at the rim is still there, so maybe it worked: we saw not a single demon.
A safe distance from the volcano is a town of the same name, noted for its large craft market. We visited in order to remind ourselves that we didn't need any knit bags with "Nicaragua" written boldly across them. Close by however is a smaller town called San Juan de Oriente, equally noted for its exceptional pottery, specifically the pottery of one artist named Helio Gutierrez.
Back in León we'd visited a remarkable collection of art both antique and modern. On display next to a fine array of indigenous pottery were its modern descendants created by Helio Gutierrez. The design was bold and compelling, an extension of the same conversation begun by indigenous Nicaraguans thousands of years before.In San Juan de Oriente, we ran across a few pieces of Gutierrez's work, but the majority were knock-offs created by his protégées. Nothing that was for sale had quite the same quality, and soon, Magda was insisting we try to buy a piece directly from the artist himself. But how to find him? At first we were told he'd retired. He may well have, since it turns out his pieces are internationally shown. But then someone told us his daughter worked in one of the shops, so we asked around and found her. She was herself an excellent artist, but Magda was set on finding her father. She called him to ask if he had anymore pieces like the ones we were interested in. He did not. His last one had been sold to a Japanese collector the previous week.
Never easily dissuaded, Magda asked if we could meet him, so his daughter called him back to see if he was interested. We stood outside of her studio beside a large pile of gravel that the whole town was taking turns shoveling into buckets and hauling up some stairs. Soon, a short, stocky man walked up looking like a country farmer, a camposino, not an artist of international renown. Like many Nicaraguans he had gold lined teeth, making him look slightly menacing, but only when he flashed his warm, friendly smile.
"Mi papi", the young artist said as introduction.
Magda described the specific piece she'd fallen in love with and he told her he could make it for her for a very reasonable price. How to ship it? He mentioned he was going to LA in the winter, any chance we could meet there? We told him we could make something happen (I picture my cousin Troy meeting him under a bridge in downtown Los Angeles, wearing a trench-coat). We paid half up front, and agreed to pay the other half on delivery. We'll see what happens.
Later in the day we rolled into the extinct volcanic crater of Laguna de Apoyo. We'd driven from San Juan de Oriente through little villages of wood sided shacks covered with terra-cotta or corrugated metal. The roads were paved with cement bricks and in good condition, but dozens of red earth paths veered off into the forest all around. When we'd descended into the old crater, we followed a rutted dirt track to the Paradise Hostel. We skeptically wondered if it could live up to its name.
Laguna de Apoyo is utterly beautiful. It is a clear, warm, clean freshwater lake about a mile wide and perfectly round. The high walls of the old crater are covered with dense forest and only a half dozen houses, making it seem incredibly remote and very tranquil. The Paradise Hostel was almost as good as its name. It fronted the lake with a series of buildings stair-stepping up the side of the hill. The ultimate building was the beach bar which held an unbroken view of the majestic old crater. We ended up staying two nights there, though the first night was marred by the inevitable collision between five young American guys and six young French-Canadians girls who insisted on lounging around in bikinis. When enough alcohol was consumed, the volitile mixture was complete, and the older guests, including us, fled the bar to find refuge on another patio also overlooking the lake. The sounds of screaming twenty year olds reverberated late into the night, but we heard nothing from our small, cramped room in the far rear that we'd chosen over other much nicer rooms, closer to the common areas.
In the morning we woke early to take a kayak out onto the glassy smooth water. As we paddled outwards, ripples followed us like steps across a virgin snowfield. The walls of the crater reflected in the surface. From our little craft we could see fish and the bottom of the lake as easily as if peering into an aquarium.
During the day we drove to Nicaragua's most beautiful city, Grenada, a finely preserved colonial town that was a little more polished than León had been. We'd heard mixed reviews of Grenada, some people found it dangerous but we thought it was a lovely, peaceful place to wander the narrow streets and peer inside shops. One of the places we poked our heads into was a barbershop that looked like it had changed little in the last century. The chairs surrounded a corner of an open courtyard filled with tropical plants, under an eve of Spanish tile. Magda wanted to take some pictures and I'd been thinking my beard had gotten out of control again, so while I got the old time treatment of hot towel wraps, frothy shaving cream, deadly sharp razors and spicy after-shave, Magda clicked away capturing the naturally lit ambiance. It was probably the best barbershop experience I've ever had, more of a face spa than anything else – all for about three dollars. I shook my barber's hand when we were done and he said he'd be waiting if I decided to cut my hair as well. In the future I will seriously consider flying to Nicaragua just to sit in the same picturesque barbershop for some more grooming.
We drove out of the city next and explored the shoreline of Lake Nicaragua. Near Grenada are the Isletas de Lago Nicaragua, dozens of little volcanic outcroppings that form a mini archipelago on the edge of the lake. We drove by dozens of shouting touts that jumped in front of the car to try and sell us boat tours, opting to head towards a more remote spot. We negotiated a herd of cattle, avoiding getting a horn stuck in the side of the car, and made it to the end of yet another lonely, dusty road. There sat an aged man on a wall, unconcerned by our presence. We asked him if he had a boat we could hire and he said he did. Soon we were chugging through little channels past islets populated by single family houses, most of them little shacks fronted by earthen yards that took up the majority of the available land. It occurred to us that anywhere else in the world people would pay millions for a tiny island in a remote corner of the tropics. In fact, quite a few gringos had had the same idea and our boatmen pointed out several houses owned by foreigners. They'd thankfully kept their buildings small and humble like the native Nicos, except for one Costa Rican who'd crafted a little McMansion on his island. Our guide scowled at it, as did we.
The next day, after another lovely night at the Paradise Hostel, we headed back to Grenada to return the car and catch a bus to the ferry headed to Ometepe, a huge island made of two volcanos in the middle of Lake Nicaragua. Getting there was easy enough although it was another ponderously slow schoolbus that took us along with dozens of Nicaraguans. Gringos call these "chicken buses" which I find to be a little offensive – except that on this bus there were in fact chickens.
We took the ferry from the minute port town of San Jorge, from where it was possible to see the two conical volcanos that make up Ometepe. The northern mountain still smolders, as it is active, while the southern cone lies dormant. Once across the calm waters of the lake we walked past a crowd of waiting taxistas and into the verdant interior.
There isn't a great way to see the sights of the island without renting an expensive 4×4. Taxis cost a flat fee of five dollars a ride and it seemed this would add up. We figured the best way was to rent a scooter that could be arranged for us by the front desk at our hotel. It was delivered to us on our first morning there, and we exchanged money without talk of insurance or liability or making note of the sorry state of the machine. Carlos, the scooter's owner, explained that there was enough gas to get anywhere we wanted/were able to go on the island. Then he walked back to wherever he'd driven over from.
We spent the day laboring up steep hills then rattling down the other side. It was hard to see how fast we were (or were not) going since the speedometer, the odometer, the tachometer and the gas gauge were all broken and stuck on zero.
We rolled into Altagracia, one of the two biggest tiny towns, and saw a small sad collection of the remaining indigenous sculptures once found on the island. Some of the best pieces had been spirited away to other countries, including the U.S. and France. Now the remnants stand partly in an old churchyard and partly in a scrappy little museum in town. Neither place does justice to the importance or craft of the artifacts. We visited several other little towns and farms, some that had excellent petroglyphs dotted about their grounds. Most of these were covered to discourage lichens and erosion, none had any explanation about who made them or why.
Stopping for a swim on a black sand beach for a swim in the freshwater lake, the water was so shallow for so long that even 100 yards into the water I had to sit down to be fully immersed. Afterwards we drove to a spring called Ojos de Agua, which was meant to be a deliciously clear watering hole that makes you feel ten years younger, but was actually full of rowdy Nicaraguans throwing rum and coke at each other. We swam for a few minutes, as far away from the cocktail bath as possible, and then got out when a downpour rolled through and soaked everything not already swimming in the pool.
After we got back to our hotel, we changed into some dry clothes and decided to set out again for a festival they were having in the island's other town. It was getting dark and more rain looked imminent, but we were interested in the fiesta since we seem to always be just missing one wherever we go. So we got on the scooter and bounced back up the gravel driveway to the road. As we drove, darkness fell. There were no street lamps. The headlights worked, but blinked on and off when the engine idled low or when we went over a bump. Just as I started thinking how dangerous this whole project might be, the headlights blinked, the engine sputtered and then the scooter completely died. It seemed we'd run out of gas, something Carlos had assured us was unlikely. It wasn't as if we had a way to tell how much we had anyways. Fortunately we had a Nicaraguan phone card and Carlos' phone number so we called and told him we were stranded in the middle of nowhere. He said he'd be right there.
We rolled the scooter to the side of the road. Just as we sat down to wait, the sky opened up and it began to pour. We didn't know where Carlos was coming from, but it was taking him a long time. The darkness was complete, save for the occasional headlights of a passing car, two of which stopped to ask of we needed help. We didn't know how nervous we needed to be about our safety stuck out there in the Nicaraguan countryside, in total darkness. The island had seemed safe but that was during the day. When two motorcyclists pulled over, staring at our scooter, the rain speckling the beams from their headlights, we were hesitant to approach them. Fortunately one of the bikers turned out to be Carlos.
It turns out we hadn't run out of gas, a cable had disconnected. He needed a knife to fix it (for some reason) so his friend ran off towards a nearby farmhouse to find something sharp. After he came back we all stood in the pouring rain while Carlos kneeled in the mud, stabbing at the scooter's innards with a machete. With visible pride, he got the scooter started again. He apologized profusely, rain dripping off of his nose, and reminded us that without this incident it would have just been a normal day, now, he smiled, we've had an adventure!
As we got back on the rain soaked scooter, Magda suggested we still try to go to town to see the fiesta. I asked her if she was kidding and pointed the scooter towards home. Ten meters from the end of the hotel's driveway the scooter died again, leaving us once more in the dark. Fortunately we could see the lights nearby, and rolled the scooter the rest of the way.
The next morning we left the island and found our way back to the Pan-American highway where we'd been told a bus might come by headed for Managua in the next few hours. Our rainclouds of bad luck lifted though and the moment we stepped to the curb a souped up school bus roared up, barely stopping to let us on. Unlike our previous ex-patriated Blu-Bird experiences, this one had been heavily modified into something of a super bus. It thundered across the countryside, passing all comers like a rocket. Our little journey was played back to us in reverse as we flew past Grenada, the turn-off to Laguna de Apoyo, and Masaya in record time. Before we knew it we were strolling back up to the front door of the Urbinas where we were welcomed back into the bosom of their home. We had a celebratory feast of pizza and iced tea and went to bed early in order to prepare for a five o'clock a.m. bus to Honduras.

Impact of Using Paper Mill Sludge for Surface-Mine Reclamation on Runoff Water Quality and Plant Growth

Paper mills generate large amounts of solid waste consisting of fibrous cellulose, clay, and lime. Paper mill sludge (PMS) can improve reclamation of surface-coal mines where low pH and organic-carbon levels in the spoil cover material can inhibit revegetation. When applied at high rates, however, PMS may adversely impact the quality of surface runoff. Therefore, we applied PMS at 0, 224, and 672 dry Mg ha− 1 to 22.1 × 4.6-m plots at a recently mined site and monitored runoff for a total of 13 mo. The zero-rate plots served as controls and received standard reclamation consisting of mulching with hay and fertilization at planting. Compared to the control plots, PMS reduced runoff fourfold to sixfold and decreased erosion from 47 Mg ha−1 to <1 Mg ha−1 Most of the reduction occurred in the 2.5 mo before the plots were planted. Flow-weighted average dissolved oxygen concentrations in runoff from plots at the 224 and 672 Mg ha−1 rates, however, were much lower (≤0.4 vs. 8.2 mg L−1) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) was much higher for the 672 Mg ha−1 rate plots than the control plots during the pre-plant period (7229 vs. 880 mg L−1). There were few noteworthy differences in water quality among treatments post-planting, but plant dry-matter yields were greater for the PMS plots than for the controls. The 672 Mg ha−1 rate did not increase COD or nutrient loads compared to the 224 Mg ha−1 rate and may have more persistent beneficial effects by increasing soil organic carbon levels and pH to a greater extent.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Blake Alma, 16, is an outdoorsman who found his calling when he was 12. (Photo provided)
SHARONVILLE, Ohio -- Blake Alma didn't really want to swim. He wasn't an outdoors kind of person.
That is, until the counselor at the camp he was attending reached out to him, and extended an invitation to go fishing.
"It wasn't my first time fishing, but it was my first time really enjoying the outdoors," Blake says. "We pulled out tons of fish. We were fishing all that week and it was truly awesome. Ever since, my love for the outdoors has always been growing."
That was the summer of 2013, and Blake wasn't yet a teenager.
Boy, have things changed in the last four years.
Blake, now 16, lives in Sharonville and has become an avid outdoorsman, publishing books, hosting a radio and television show and running a website. He likes to spread the word to young people to enjoy the outdoors.
As a WCPO Insider, you can learn who got Blake started and how his faith is incorporated into his interest.
There's more to the story when you become an Insider. WCPO Insider brings you in-depth local coverage and access to national news with a subscription to the Washington Post. Your money supports an exceptional team of journalists committed to shining a light on important issues in our region. We're building a community of people who care about quality journalism. On top of premium coverage you get exclusive access to handpicked events, and savings on things you love to do. Find out more here.
"We are in a new world of technology and video games," he says. "I have found, because of my own life, that the outdoors literally changes one's lifestyle. It not only brought me happiness and joy, it also provided me other things, like physical exercise, a more positive lifestyle, it draws me closer to more important things in life, and it even provided me a small income."
He decided to use technology and the internet to spread the word. "I could promote the outdoors to my generation," he said. "Since my generation loves the internet, why not use the internet to introduce them to the outdoors? Everything that I do to promote the outdoors is on the internet."
You can find him at BlakeAlma.com. You can read his book, "The Outdoorsmen Bible," which he published at 14. You can hear his internet radio show, "The Outdoorsman's Art Radio Show," on WRVO Radio Network 1.
And you can watch his television show, "The Outdoor Experience with Blake Alma," which began airing on May 22 on Hunt Channel, which is on Dish Channel 266 and on Roku.
"As a 16-year-old, I have tons of time to waste, but I decided that I would not waste my teenage years playing videos games or scrolling through my social media all day," he says. "I knew that if I started young, it would benefit me for the future. I only wish that every child had the same passion and zeal toward the outdoors as I do."
Bryan May knows Blake well. He was the counselor who offered to take Blake fishing all those years ago.
"Only a few of the kids wanted to mess with clambering around in the creeks, catching bait and fishing," he said. "Blake was the most enthusiastic participant by far and seemed to really enjoy flipping over rocks to catch crawfish, catching worms and also the various techniques for actually catching fish."
All of it was new for Blake.
"I'm glad to have been a small part of his apparent new-found thirst for the outdoors," May says. "I've been impressed with his tenacious pursuit of learning about the outdoors and sharing that experience with so many others."
Perhaps Blake's biggest reason for loving the outdoors? It gives him a chance to honor God.
"Even though the outdoors is a place of enjoyment and pleasure, it is also a place that shows the glory and wonder of a creator," he says. "There is no place I'd rather be than in a place that shows me the attributes of my creator."
Eli Gourdin, an outdoorsman who has turned to the woods after many trials in his life, now serves as co-host of the "The Outdoorsman's Art Radio Show" and works as a pro staff member with BowTech Archery.
"I believe what he's doing will benefit others in many ways," Gourdin said.
After achieving so much at only 16, Blake says he only hopes to do more.
"I hope I will still be hosting my radio show, running my websites, writing books and writing articles," he said. "Five years ago, I had no idea that I would be a radio host or even a writer at my young age. So, who knows what will happen, but, Lord willing, I will still be pursuing the outdoors."
"His passion and drive are remarkable and he is making an impact in the world," May says. "He is introducing young people to the outdoors and that gets kids off the couch and into the woods. That increases their appreciation for nature and for the God who created all these things."

Phil Ochs wrote over 100 songs during his far too brief 35 years on earth. He was known for his sharp wit, sardonic humor, earnest humanism, political activism, insightful and alliterative lyrics, and distinctive voice. The politicians always seem to hold up their end, and Phil's lyrics are as relevant today as they were when they were written in the 1960's and 1970's. To keep Phil's music alive, groups of performers have gotten together to perform his beloved songs ever since 1983. This Phil Ochs Song Night features outstanding musicians Greg Greenway, Pat Wictor, Reggie Harris, and Tom Prasada-Rao.
Phil Ochs loved a cause, and this concert has one too.

From New Jersey, John Gorka is a world-renowned singer-songwriter who got his start at a neighborhood coffeehouse in eastern Pennsylvania. Though small, Godfrey Daniels was and is one of the oldest and most venerable music institutions and has long been a hangout for music lovers and aspiring musicians. In the late 1970s, John was was one of these aspiring musicians. Although his academic coursework at Moravian College lay in Philosophy and History, music began to offer paramount enticements. Soon he found himself living in the clubs basement and acting as resident MC and sound man, encountering legendary folk troubadours like Canadian singer-songwriter Stan Rogers, Eric Andersen, Tom Paxton and Claudia Schmidt. Their brand of folk-inspired acoustic music inspired him, and before long he was performing his own songs mostly as an opener for visiting acts. Many albums later and thousands of miles traveled, John Gorka remains one of the best of the best.
The title track to Heather Mae's new album, I Am Enough is an ode to body positivity and breaking away from self-imposed affliction to fit into what society defines as beautiful. Wanderer and No Poor Soul are reflections of Maes own experience of publicly coming out and the relief associated with finding love that accepts you just as you areexternally and internally. Stand Up wraps up the entire record with its challenge to listeners to fight against intolerances that so many of us face, such as racism, sexism and other prejudices.

With the announcement of a double nomination in the 2015 BBC Folk Awards (Folksinger of the Year and Best New Song), Jez Lowe has leapt into his third decade as a song-writing troubadour, on the back of a new and much acclaimed album his nineteenth entitled THE BALLAD BEYOND. The year ahead will see him in front of audiences right across the UK, as well as in Canada, Australia, Spain and Denmark, not only solo or with his long-standing backing band Bad Pennies, but in new musical company, on new musical journeys.
Shawna Caspi performs solo, but there's a whole band under her fingertips. A mighty singer, a story sculptor, and a truth teller, she has toured across Canada and the USA and believes in poetry and the power of one person and one instrument, accompanying herself with a remarkable lyrical fingerpicking guitar style. Shawna loves the landscapes of her travels and while weaving them into her songs, she has also been portraying them on canvases, painting one-of-a-kind works of art inspired by the rich scenery she sees on tour.
After a lifetime of crafting finely-wrought, allheart-touching songs, singer-songwriter Pierce Pettis feels that hes finally found his comfort zone. The biggest change, he says of this point in his career has been getting over myself and realizing this is a job and a craft. And the purpose is not fame and fortune (whatever that is) but simply doing good work.
Kate Copeland is an award-winning singer/songwriter composer/arranger based out of New York City.

Change is something that takes a little getting used to. If you need proof of this, ask the soulful singer-songwriter Sarah Borges. After a long and successful stint with her band, The Broken Singles, 2011 marked the band's breakup and Sarah embarking on a solo career. Whether it be through performances or her writing, Massachusetts native Borges has learned to dazzle – and do it well. That ability can be heard all over her 2014 Radio Sweetheart album, as well as her upcoming follow-up, Good and Dirty EP, which came out on March 4th 2016. She attributes that ability to a very eclectic sound, which she comes by naturally, she says, "I would say that my sound is straight up rock and roll, but it's the sum total of what my record collection looks like. The new record is certainly more Americana than the last record was. It's also more rock than the last record. I would say that it's a version of the live shows – a lot of loud guitars and loud singing. You can certainly dance to it."
For Good and Dirty EP, Borges received some all-star help in the producer's chair. "I got to work with Eric "Roscoe" Ambel who has such a great track record – Steve Earle, Bottle Rockets, Joan Jett. I had met him through some mutual friends. He's producing and playing guitar on it." As the release date of the album beckons, look for Sarah Borges to be in her natural habitat. "We're going to be on the road a lot. I was on tour with the Broken Singles for about eight years, then I stopped to have my son. The music business has changed so much since then, but one thing that hasn't changed is people still go out and hear live music. I'm going to continue to do that, because that's what I know how to do.

If ur wife looked a Lil like me u will never sleep with ur church members in the name of counselling and run after ur pastors wives begging them for sex.
So the nxt time u decide to insult another man's wife, in ur shrine thinking we are scared of an idiot like u…pls think about what u ve kept in ur house as a wife. ..kwasia.
Pussy – licking Pastor, Sakawarian and a thief. Your stinking bleach body makes me sick, Pastor Michael Jackson; Stupid brand ambassador for Ama Boahemmaa Condensed Milk…kwasia Kwa.
# hope u do get someone to read this to u…empty headed fool!!!!"
Thank God facebook is not in twi, so that others that do not understand the local dialect can understand her this time round.

Pending sales in escrow have slowed down considerably as well, with only 37 homes in escrow at the end of January, forecasting weaker sales over the next two months.
The average price of the homes sold on the Palos Verdes Peninsula during the last 3 months averaged $1.6 million, up approx. 21% compared to the average price of homes sold in the comparable period last year and has increased each of the last 3 months.
The average listing price for homes during the last 3 months of $3.1 million and up approx. 15% over the comparable period last year. These statistics show that lower priced homes are selling faster than the higher priced homes.
