Trim the radishes, wash, and cut into half-moon slices that aren't too thin.
Combine the chopped escarole, kohlrabi strips, and sliced radishes in a plastic or glass bowl.
Then pour over the dressing, toss, and let the salad marinate as long as you can stand to wait before eating it. For me that was about 15 minutes, but next time I would try to wait a little longer!
Wilted Escarole Salad with Kohlrabi, Radish, Lemon, and Parmesan
(Makes 2 generous servings, recipe inspired by escarole that needed to be used and salads at Orangette and In Mol Araan.)
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. salt
juice of one lemon (2-3 T lemon juice)
1-2 tsp. lemon zest (zest the lemon first, then juice it)
generous pinch of Sumac
3-4 T olive oil, to taste and depending on how much juice you got from the lemon
1 head escarole, washed, dried, and chopped or torn into pieces
1/2 large kohlrabi, cut into strips to equal 1 cup kohlrabi strips
1/2 cup radishes, trimmed and cut into half-moon shapes
generous amount fresh ground black pepper
2 T coarsely grated fresh parmesan
Wash escarole, spin dry or dry with paper towels, then chop or tear into bite-sized pieces. (For washing in the salad spinner, I chop first and then wash.) Slice kohlrabi and cut into short strips about 1/2 inch wide. Trim ends from radishes, cut in half lengthwise, then slice into half-moon slices.
Combine escarole, kohlrabi strips, and radish slices in a bowl, then pour dressing over and toss. Let salad marinate 15-30 minutes. Season generously with fresh ground black pepper, arrange on salad plates and sprinkle 1 T coarsely grated parmesan cheese over each salad.
This will keep in the fridge overnight but it will be fairly wilted by the second day. However, I had some leftover and I certainly did eat it!

Topic: Gerson Therapy
I have been reading alot on this way of fighting cancer and actually all ailments. Does anyone have any PERSONAL experience with this treatment of getting back to nature? To me, it makes perfect sense. I have met some people who believe and are practicing the Hallelujah Acres way of eating and are having success. Looking at our (American's) way of eating and lack of exercise, I can see how we are all slowly killing ourselves and our children. Just look at the articles written about children being overweight, having diabetes, high blood pressure, etcetera at younger and younger ages. I do believe what we put in our mouths directly affects how we feel, but will it kill and remove cancerous cells and replace them with healthy ones?

Pilot Initiatives
As we progress through the curriculum revision and refinement process, we will continue to make changes to the existing curriculum to improve learning for current students. These changes take the form of pilot projects based on feedback we receive about the current curriculum as well as what we are learning from the development process for the larger scale revision. The pilots help us refine our change processes and enhance collaboration within all sectors of the WCUCOM academic community.
Current and ongoing projects
- Engage a broad cross-section of stakeholders in the curriculum revision and development process
- Uncover gaps and redundancies in content coverage and make corrections
- Increase the use of case-based teaching and assessment within the curriculum
- Standardize a minimum number of formative assessments used within each course; pilot the approach
- Align all course- and lecture-level objectives with the osteopathic core competencies
Enhance existing approaches to COMLEX preparation
- Pilot use of online testing methodologies to move towards COMLEX-style testing formats as final exams in preclinical courses
- Provide Q-Banks for use by students and faculty, with the aim of aligning course content
- Continue to promote congruence of clerkship courses across sites
- Continue to connect curricular assessment to mission plans and objectives of the COM
- To help students gain understanding of population health and to extend their awareness of global health issues, an international rotation elective was added as an additional training opportunity beginning in fall 2013
- The COM has a newly-formed, interdisciplinary Curriculum Council organized in November 2012 to review and evaluate the curriculum
Long-term and upcoming projects
- Provide ongoing faculty development to increase use of active learning strategies
- Explore course groupings that promote student learning of core subject matter and enhance opportunities for the integration of biomedical and clinical science course content
- Continue to develop horizontal and vertical integration of topics into existing courses across all four years (e.g., communication, geriatrics, medication compliance, ethics, professionalism)
- Increase opportunities for early, field-based clinical experiences
- Continue to develop and refine level-based competencies linked to the mission and targeted graduate outcomes
- Refine alignment of course exams with COMLEX-style question formats
- Continue with improvements to student assessment through increasing use of case-based questions, formative assessment tools, and performance tracking (e.g., CAMS, ExamSoft, Source one45) that support data comparison

Airbus Military has embarked on a major program to assist the Indonesian aerospace industry expand its capabilities and to put the plane-maker PT Dirgantara Indonesia (DI - Indonesian Aerospace) back on its feet after suffering heavy losses accumulated after the Asian economic crisis in the late 1990s. In October the two companies signed a teaming agreement defining the initiatives of the initial 18-month phase of the recovery plan, following a strategic collaboration agreement signed last July.
For Airbus Military (Booth G53a) the deal establishes Indonesia as its marketing and production base for expansion in the Asia-Pacific region. That expansion does not just cover the smaller transport aircraft, but could include the A330 MRTT tanker/transport and A400M airlifter as well. For PT DI the agreement allows Airbus Military in to oversee the implementation of more modern processes as the Indonesian company strives to return to profitability.
The partnership between Airbus and PT DI dates back to September 1974, when the nascent Indonesian aviation industrial concern, then known as Nurtanio, signed a deal with Germany's MBB to build the BO 105 helicopter, and with Spain's Casa to build the Aviocar under license as the NC212. In 1976 Nurtanio became IPTN, and in 2000 adopted its current title.
In the early 1980s Casa – now Airbus Military – and IPTN jointly developed the CN-235 transport, which first flew in 1983. Development beyond the initial version was handled independently, resulting in both companies occasionally competing for the same order. IPTN's successes have mainly been in the Far East countries, including South Korea. In late December PT DI delivered the third of four CN235 maritime patrollers to the Korean coast guard, while in November the Indonesian navy ordered three CN235-220 maritime patrollers. Under the renewed agreement there will be a more joined-up approach to marketing, with an agreement on co-marketing the CN235 a likely outcome.
A direct result of the teaming arrangement became apparent in late October, when a memorandum of understanding was signed covering the joint marketing in the Asia-Pacific region of the Airbus Military C295, a larger derivative of the CN235. At the same time, the Indonesian government announced a requirement for at least 12 of the aircraft: nine for the air force and three for the police air wing.
A firm contract has not yet been signed but, if it goes ahead as seems likely, most of the order will be assembled by PT DI, adding the C295 to the company's portfolio. Airbus Military sees a bright future for the C295 in the region, and not only to answer additional Indonesian needs. The aircraft has already been demonstrated to several nations, including Vietnam. In Thailand the demonstrator was used late last year to undertake humanitarian aid flights in connection with the flooding disaster.
The application of Airbus Military expertise across the company also benefits PT DI's other activities, which include license-manufacture of the Eurocopter Super Puma and Bell 412. The company also makes components for Airbus commercial aircraft, including the A350 and A380.
PT DI has long harbored ambitions for its own development projects. In August 1995 IPTN flew the prototype of the N-250 50-passenger transport, but was forced to cancel the program in the light of the regional economic crisis. Following a down-scaling of the company in the aftermath of the crisis, ambitions for new developments were put on hold, but the new recovery plan has given PT DI new confidence.
It is currently working on the N-219, a utility passenger/freight transport for operations in remote areas based on the NC212 Aviocar. Funding for this project has been restored following commitments for 20 by local carrier Merpati Nusantara, and for 15 from Papua New Guinea. A first flight is scheduled for 2014. More ambitious is the agreement made by the Indonesian government in July 2010 for PT DI to take a 20 per cent stake in the development of the KF-X next-generation fighter led by Korean Aerospace Industries.
At Airbus's annual press conference held in Hamburg, Germany, on January 17, CEO Tom Enders, said that the group's military division achieved higher than anticipated delivery numbers in 2011. It now holds a backlog of 220 aircraft—mainly consisting of the new A400M transport (174 orders)—but also including some new orders for both the new C295 and CN235. Airbus now plans on delivering between 20 and 30 of these medium- and light-transports each year.
Last year, Airbus also the achieved first six deliveries of its A330-based MRTT tanker to three different customers. This program is now supported by a backlog of 22 aircraft. Deliveries last year included anti-submarine versions for Chile and Brazil.
Enders reported that five A400Ms are now in flight-testing, with the last one having joined the fleet in December. They have no logged fast approaching 3,000 flight hours and the Airbus chief executive said that, after overcoming some certification delays due to engine troubles, it is now on track to start first deliveries to the French air force in January 2013. "This will be the year that we start seriously marketing the aircraft and we believe it has potential for at least 400 years," he told the press.

Of course context can be wrong. The intellect is not the ground for understanding (in the case of dhamma).
Contexts are either effective or ineffective, and their pragmatic value is entirley dependent upon one's purposes, aims and goals. The Buddha's path to "awakening" was intensely intellectual. There's no way he would've had so many profound things to say about the dhamma if he'd not grounded his pursuit of understanding it in his intellect.

FUNDRAISING Peter Matheson has learned a valuable lesson.
If you're driving a historic tractor without a cab and an HGV is going past you after a heavy downpour, make sure you shut your mouth.
It's one of a few adventures the former Colchester police man has had since he left John O'Groats, near his adopted Scottish home, more than two weeks ago.
He stopped off in Colchester on his way to Lands End.
From there, he will drive to Dover, to catch the ferry to France and drive to north Norway to see the Northern Lights.
From there, he will return to John O'Groats, via Dover and Lands End.
The 8,000-mile trip will take him about four months to complete, but it's all for a good cause.
The 50-year-old is raising money for the Tom Bowdidge Foundation, which was set up in memory of the inspirational teenager who died battling an aggressive stomach cancer in October having raised more than £100,000 for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Mr Matheson said: "It has been horrendous so far, especially through southern Scotland.
"I've learned a few lessons, not least knowing you should shut your mouth when an HGV drives past after a torrential downpour."
He added: "The support from people has been good.
"My thinking is people are so busy rushing around in their busy lives that getting stuck behind me doing 13mph gives them a chance to think and settle down and perhaps donate to a good cause."
The former cop is also hoping for volunteers to drive a support vehicle throughout his journey.
Anyone who can help should go to tractorbumble.com or search Facebook for Tractor Bumble 2014.
Mr Matheson was the guest of honour at an event at Sainsbury's, in Tollgate, on Thursday.
The store has selected the foundation as its charity if the year.
Charlotte Draper, Sainsbury's ambassador, said: "It's great to continue to raise awareness for The Tom Bowdidge Foundation through various events that all our colleagues and customers can get involved in."
It was the second event held at the store. More than £6,500 has been raised so far.
Nikki Bowdidge, Tom's mum, said: "The support has been unbelievable.
"Everybody keeps coming up with different ideas and none of them have been humdrum, they are ideas which have captured people's attention.
"With Peter and his Tractor Bumble, Tom would have loved it, he would have been getting time off to drive the thing himself."

AUBURN HILLS, Mich.— When you hear Warriors coach Mark Jackson mention
Stephen Curry and the word "elite" in the same sentence, games like
Wednesday's 104-97 win over the Detroit Pistons are why.
Curry finished with 22 points, 10 assists, four steals and one turnover as Golden State (11-7) kicked off its seven-game road trip with a win.
It was his fourth straight game with at least 20 points and 10 assists. The last Warrior to do that was Tim Hardaway in December of 1992. More important, he was the catalyst as the Warriors took control of the
game in the second half, and he was key to Golden State warding off Detroit, which trimmed Golden State's 20-point fourth-quarter lead down
to 3.
"What I love right now is he's in total control out there on the floor," Jackson said. "When things get crazy, there is no need for me to call a timeout, because I feel confident and comfortable with his ability to run this basketball team. He's playing at a whole different level, probably than he's ever played at. I think it's more to do with his health than anything else. This is what we expected from him."
Curry is on a run unlike anything he's done in his career, and Golden State is 3-1 during his streak. In the last four games, Curry has totaled 42 assists and nine turnovers to go with his 21.3 points per game. He's also averaging three steals in that span.
Since 2007-08, the only players with at least 20 points and 10 assists in four straight games are Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Deron Williams and Russell Westbrook.
In Monday's loss vs. Orlando, when Curry padded his stats down the stretch as the Warriors tried to put together a late rally. But Wednesday, Curry was the most impactful Warrior on both ends of the floor, and it led to a victory.
"It's a good feeling knowing your playing well. And winning makes it even more special," said Curry, who before this streak hadn't totaled double-digit assists in consecutive games since his rookie year. "It's
not like my rookie where it was run-and-gun, Nellie ball. And we're winning, so that's big."
While his offensive prowess was evident, his defense stood out as well.
Curry took Pistons' young point guard Brandon Knight completely out of
the game (1 of 9 shooting, three assists, four turnovers). And Curry proved to be a pest to Piston's bigs, who had to deal with his trapping and reaching most of the game.
"He makes multiple effort plays defensively," Jackson said, "which means he doesn't surrender even after being beat or being out of a play. ... Even plays where he has no business being involved in, he's just being
very disruptive."
Even with Curry's monster game - and a big night for guard Klay Thompson, who had a season-high 27 points — Wednesday's game wound up much more of a nail-biter than it should've been.
After an eye sore of a first-half, the Warriors led 40-38. But Golden State's offense got going in the third. Curry set the stage with a 3-pointer followed by a three-point play. He then punctuated a 10-2 Warriors' run by setting up a David Lee layup, putting Golden State ahead 50-42. Then Thompson caught fire.
He knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers. Then after a Harrison Barnes jumper, Thompson and Curry added two more 3-pointers, the latter put the
Warriors ahead 64-52 with 5:38 left in the quarter.
Thompson wound up by making five 3-pointers and totaling 19 third-quarter points. The Warriors set a new high for points in a quarter with 39 and entered the fourth ahead 79-61.
Golden State led by 81-61 after a pair of free throws by Harrison Barnes 13 seconds into the fourth quarter. The Warriors were still ahead big, 94-77, after a Carl Landry jumper at the 5:36 mark. But the Pistons ran off an 18-4 run to make it a challenge for the Warriors. Golden State committed four turnovers, missed two jumpers and two free throws to practically roll out the red carpet for the Pistons, who cut the
Warriors' advantage to 98-95 with 1:08 left after back-to-back 3-pointers by Detroit forwards Charlie Villanueva and Tayshaun Prince.
"We just did not do a good job of putting the final nail in the coffin," back-up point guard Jarrett Jack said. "There are teams that are going to be able to come back when we let them linger around and give them
confidence. So when you are able to put away a team, especially in their building, you have to end it however you can."
The Warriors held on by securing two more defensive stops and knocking down 6 of 6 from the free throw line in the last minute. Fittingly, it was Curry he secured the game-clinching rebound and dribbled out the clock.
Many doubted whether Curry would ever have such a stretch. He's spent the last two seasons battling ankle issues, causing him to miss 40 of the 66 games last season. Many questioned the Warriors' decision to sign him to a four-year, $44 million contract extension on Halloween.
Let Jackson tell it, this is what Golden State expected from him. His teammates didn't seem to impressed either, said it's just a sign that Curry is finally healthy.
Curry, on the other hand, seemed appreciative.
"Being healthy and having an opportunity to play big minutes and have the ball in my hands, I'd like to think I'd be able to do good things with it," Curry said. "I'm just blessed to be able to play. This is the longest stretch I've played in two-and-a-half years."

In July 1968, NASA's Apollo Applications Program (AAP) was undergoing another of its annual deep budget cuts. Despite this broad hint that ambitious post-Apollo space projects were unlikely to receive support, NASA continued its plans for a post-AAP Saturn V-launched Space Station that would serve many different experiment disciplines. The Space Station, which would remain operational for long enough to be considered "permanent," would measure 33 feet in diameter and carry a six-to-nine-man crew. NASA also planned a new piloted spacecraft for economically hauling crews and cargoes to and from its large station. This was widely expected to take the form of a reusable winged or lifting-body shuttle.
Against this backdrop, some engineers proposed lower-cost alternative station concepts. Bellcomm planners E. Marion and J. Schelke, for example, proposed in a 23 July 1968 memorandum that Titan-IIIM rockets be used to launch a series of four temporary "specialist" stations in place of NASA's single multidisciplinary station. The Titan-IIIM was under development for the U.S. Air Force Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) program, which was intended to rely heavily on modified Gemini spacecraft. At the time, Gemini was a recently completed NASA program; Gemini XII, the last mission in the series of 10 piloted Gemini flights, had ended with a splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean on November 15, 1966.
The authors cited an April 1968 study, which had asserted that NASA's proposed large Space Station would suffer from delays in the development of its complex multidisciplinary experiment program and its new logistics spacecraft. This would push its launch to the mid-1970s, well beyond AAP's expected conclusion, creating a gap of several years in NASA piloted flights. The study had also found that the large station's diverse experiment program would generate requirements conflicts. For example, some experiments would need to operate in a low-altitude orbit to be effective, while others would need a high-altitude orbit.
Furthermore, the Saturn V-launched large Space Station probably could not serve a military surveillance role. This was because placing it into a low-altitude near-polar or polar orbit - the best orbit for observing and imaging installations and activities all over Earth's surface - would risk dropping the Saturn V's spent S-IC first stage on Cuba (for southward launches) or New York City (for northward launches).
Marion and Schelke wrote that "the most important job" for their specialist station program would be to permit NASA "to gain experience with long term manned space flight." They proposed four basic missions, each of which would include "Man-in-Space" experiments that would gather biomedical data in support of long-term space missions.
In 1968, "long term manned space flight" was a code phrase for piloted Mars voyages, a long-held NASA objective that had become a lightning rod for Congressional hostility following the Apollo 1 fire (27 January 1967). The Bellcomm planners thus hastened to add that long-term space experience "by itself could not justify a complete program" - that is, if NASA was to make any station program "worthwhile," it would need to fly other experiments.
Marion and Schelke assumed that AAP would demonstrate that astronauts could remain healthy in orbit for up to 60 days and that medical assessments would show that stay-time in orbit could be progressively doubled beginning with the first crew of their program (Mission 1 Crew 1). Returning astronauts would need to pass a 30-day medical assessment before further stay-time doubling could be authorized. The overriding program goal would be to maintain a single two-man crew in Earth orbit for 730 days (two years).
Mission 1, which they called the "Earth-Looking/Man-in-Space/Biology" mission, would commence in mid-1974 and would last for up to 29 months. Mission 1 station assembly would require two manned Titan-IIIM launches to a 125-nautical-mile-high orbit inclined 60° relative to Earth's equator - an orbit determined by the mission's Earth observation emphasis. The orbit's high inclination would enable the specialist station to fly over every spot in the latitude band between 60° north and 60° south, and its low altitude would place observation targets on Earth's surface close at hand.
One Titan-IIIM could launch 36,000 pounds to Mission 1's operational orbit. For both Mission 1 assembly launches, the payload would comprise a 6800-pound Gemini-B bearing two men and a two-deck specialist station module. In place of Gemini's twin ejection seats, the Gemini-B would include a launch escape tower with tractor motors on top for pulling it away from a malfunctioning booster. The station modules would measure 17 feet long.
Each specialist station module would have a diameter greater than the Titan-IIIM core upon which it rode (15 feet versus about 10 feet). This meant that the module would form a "hammerhead" payload atop its booster. The Bellcomm planners noted that The Martin Company, builder of the Titan family of missiles and space launch vehicles, had determined that this configuration would be feasible. From the bottom of its twin solid-rocket boosters to the top of the Gemini-B escape tower, the Titan-IIIM and its specialist station payload would stand a little more than 140 feet tall.
Mission 1's first module, a 21,200-pound Control Cabin, would carry communications & data management systems and guidance & control systems. The latter would include control-moment gyros for attitude control and rocket motors and tanks holding 2600 pounds of propellants for "orbit-keeping." The module would also contain living quarters with a 1000-pound "crew system," 2,500 pounds of food (all that would be required for the station module's lifetime), and 2500 pounds of Earth-pointing sensors, bringing the total launched mass to 33,400 pounds. This would leave a 2900-pound "payload margin" for weight growth during development.
Upon reaching Earth orbit, the Mission 1 Crew 1 astronauts would open a hatch above and behind their seats and clamber through a hatchway in the Gemini-B heat shield into the top deck of the Control Cabin. There they would activate systems, including the Brayton/Isotope (B/I) generator that would supply the module's electricity. Marion and Schelke opted for a nuclear power source because it would eliminate the atmospheric drag and station-orientation restrictions inherent in wing-like solar arrays.
The authors estimated that a three-kilowatt B/I generator for a single-module station would have a mass of 2405 pounds; the equivalent for a multiple-module station with a B/I generator in each module would have a mass of only 2125 pounds. This was because the latter could dispense with redundant parts; if one B/I unit failed, one in another module could step in to provide redundancy. The single- and multiple-module B/I systems would each include a 480-pound nuclear fuel block, an emergency reentry heat shield, recovery aids, and abort rocket system with a total mass of 420 pounds, and 150 pounds of spare parts.
Along with the B/I system, Mission 1 Crew 1 would activate the Control Cabin's life support systems. Marion and Schelke assumed that all air and water would be recycled. Stored life support consumables would be used only to make up for leakage and would not be replenished during the lifetime of the specialist station. To avoid electricity-hungry cryogenic storage systems, oxygen and nitrogen in the station atmosphere would be derived respectively from water and ammonia, both of which have high boiling temperatures. Waste heat from the B/I unit would drive part of the recycling system, reducing total life support power usage to a single kilowatt.
Mission 1's second specialist station module, the 18,300-pound Experiment Cabin, would reach orbit a month after the Control Cabin. One deck of the Experiment Cabin would carry 8700 pounds of Man-in-Space and Biology experiment gear, while the other would house the two Mission 1 Crew 2 astronauts. As was the case with Mission 1 Crew 1, they would be launched in a Gemini-B atop their specialist space station module. Crew quarters in the Experiment Cabin would lack a full-body zero-G shower, but otherwise would not differ from those in the Control Cabin. Like the Control Cabin, the Experiment Cabin would carry 2500 pounds of food. Experiment Cabin mass would total 33,800 pounds, leaving a 2200-pound payload mass margin.
The two Gemini-B/specialist station module combinations would be docked tail-to-tail to form the complete Mission 1 specialist station. This would place the twin Gemini-B spacecraft at opposite ends of the station.
Marion and Schelke proposed an unmanned expendable logistics resupply spacecraft derived from the Gemini Program's Agena rendezvous-and-docking target vehicle. The system would comprise a modified Agena stage, a propellant resupply section, a docking structure, and an Earth atmosphere reentry capsule.
Ninety days after the Control Cabin reached orbit, the first logistics resupply vehicle would lift off atop an Atlas-derived rocket. The crew would remotely guide the resupply vehicle to a docking at one of the Control Cabin's two side ports. They would pump 2900 pounds of propellants from the resupply vehicle into the Control Cabin's orbit-keeping propulsion system tanks, then would discard the Agena and the propellant resupply section. This would leave the docking structure containing the reentry capsule attached to the specialist station.
The crew would remove 1300 pounds of experiment supplies from the capsule, refill it with experiment products (for example, exposed photographic film and biological samples), then seal it and eject it from the frame-like docking structure. The capsule would fire small solid-propellant rocket motors to deorbit and reenter Earth's atmosphere for recovery. Finally, the astronauts would discard the empty docking structure. Logistics flights would take place every 90 days throughout each station's career.
The Bellcomm engineers looked at several methods for reaching their program's 730-day stay-time goal. In one example, Mission 1 Crew 1 would remain in orbit for 120 days, then would return to Earth for a 30-day medical assessment. Two Mission 1 Crew 3 astronauts would arrive to replace them in a Gemini-B launched on a standard Gemini-Titan rocket. The Gemini-B would back up to dock with the Control Cabin docking port the Mission 1 Crew 1 Gemini-B had vacated. If doctors on Earth found Mission 1 Crew 1 to be healthy after their 120 day stay, then the astronaut pair launched with the Experiment Cabin (Mission 1 Crew 2), by then in orbit for 120 days, would be cleared to stay in space for a further 120 days, bringing their total stay-time to 240 days.
Meanwhile, Mission 2, the "Astronomy/Advance Technology/Man-in-Space" mission, would commence. The first of the three modules making up the Mission 2 station, a Control Cabin, would ascend to a 200-nautical-mile, 28°-inclination-orbit 60 days after Mission 1 began. The Titan-IIIM could boost 35,500 pounds to Mission 2's operational orbit. The 21,200-pound Mission 2 Control Cabin would carry 4100 pounds of technology experiments and 1300 pounds of propellants. With the attached Gemini-B bearing Mission 2 Crew 1, its total mass would come to 33,400 pounds, leaving a 2100-pound payload margin.
The second Mission 2 module, an 18,300-pound Experiment Cabin, would lift off nearly simultaneously from a second Titan-IIIM launch pad built at Cape Kennedy specifically for Marion and Schelke's station program. In addition to the Gemini-B bearing Mission 2 Crew 2, the second Titan-IIIM would launch the Mission 2 Experiment Cabin with 4000 pounds of Man-in-Space experiments and 5500 pounds of life-support experiments on board, giving it a hefty total mass to 34,600 pounds. This would leave a slim 900-pound payload margin. The Mission 2 Control and Experiment Cabins would dock in orbit, forming a second four-man specialist station outwardly identical to the first.
One or two months later - following refurbishment of one of the two Titan-IIIM pads - NASA would launch a third Mission 2 Titan-IIIM bearing a new type of module called an Experiment Shell. The stripped-down 12,100-pound module, launched unmanned with no Gemini-B attached, would house 18,200 pounds of astronomy gear, bringing its total mass to 30,300 pounds. This would leave a 5200-pound payload margin. Prior to its arrival, the Experiment Cabin crew (Mission 2 Crew 2) would transfer their Gemini-B to one of the pair of side-mounted docking ports on the Experiment Cabin to make way for the Experiment Shell, which would dock in its place. The crew would then expose the Experiment Shell's telescopes by casting off a protective shroud.
Mission 1 Crew 2 would return to Earth after 240 days in orbit and undergo a 30-day medical assessment. If they passed, then the two-man crew launched with the Mission 2 Control Cabin (Mission 2 Crew 1), already in space by then for seven months, would be cleared to remain in orbit for a total of 480 days (18 months). Meanwhile, two more astronauts (Mission 1 Crew 4) would arrive in a Gemini-B to replace Mission 1 Crew 2.
When Mission 2 Crew 1 reached 480 days in orbit, they would return to Earth for their 30-day medical assessment. Mission 2 Crew 3, the final crew scheduled to be launched to the Mission 1 or Mission 2 stations, would replace them. Assuming that Mission 2 Crew 1 passed medical muster, then the two astronauts that arrived with Mission 2's Experiment Cabin (Mission 2 Crew 2) would be authorized to remain in orbit for 730 days. They would reach the specialist station program's stay-time goal of 24 months just 26 months after the launch of Mission 1 Crew 1.
Meanwhile, the four astronauts on board the Mission 1 station would return to Earth simultaneously in their respective Gemini-Bs. Mission 1 Crew 3 would return after 600 days, while Mission 1 Crew 4 would have chalked up 450 days. The Mission 1 station, having reached the end of its design lifetime, would then be deorbited over an uninhabited region.
Two months later, Mission 2 Crew 3 would return to Earth at the same time as Mission 2 Crew 2. The former would have spent 240 days in space. The Mission 2 station, having also reached the end of its design lifetime, would then be deorbited.
Marion and Schelke provided fewer details for Mission 3, which they dubbed the "Physical Sciences/Man-in-Space" mission. It would begin in the third quarter of 1975 with the launch of two astronauts in a Gemini-B atop a 21,200-pound Control Cabin bearing 4000 pounds of Man-in-Space experiments and 1300 pounds of propellants.
The authors made no mention of crew rotation during Mission 3; the astronauts launched in the Gemini-B with the Mission 3 Control Cabin would apparently remain on board until the third quarter of 1977, their stay-time progressively extended as crews on board the four-man stations reached new stay-time milestones and were found to be healthy after they returned to Earth.
A month after the Mission 3 Control Cabin reached space, a 14,300-pound Experiment Shell with a B/I generator and 14,000 pounds of physical science experiments would arrive. Two months after the Experiment Shell arrived, the crew would remotely pilot a logistics resupply spacecraft to a docking with the station. After transferring its propellants and unloading its cargo, they would use its reentry capsule to return to Earth the first materials samples from their physical science experiments.
Marion and Schelke noted that Mission 3's science program would not be orbit-dependent (its altitude could, they wrote, "be anything"). They chose a 200-nautical-mile-high orbit inclined 28° to Earth's equator. The station's relatively high altitude would minimize required orbit-keeping propellants, while 28° was Cape Kennedy's latitude and thus the orbital inclination most easily achieved by rockets launched from that site.
The Bellcomm engineers did not include Mission 4, the MOL-like "Military Mission," in their mission schedule. They explained that, "by edict" of the U.S. Air Force, the Military Mission would require only a single launch. A Titan III-M would launch a Control Cabin with an attached piloted Gemini-B into a 100-nautical-mile-high orbit inclined 90° relative to Earth's equator. This would take the Mission 4 station over both of Earth's poles during each orbit and enable it to overfly Earth's entire surface every 24 hours. They envisioned a two- or four-month duration for the Military Mission.
Marion and Schelke briefly discussed their views on mission safety. They wrote that "[s]omeone is bound to notice" that their station lacked redundant crew Earth-return vehicles; that is, that its crews would have available to them for emergency Earth return only the Gemini-B spacecraft in which they had reached space. In their view this was not, however, a serious problem. If a station disaster meant that the astronauts could not reach their Gemini-B through normal means (that is, through the heat shield hatch), then they could reach it by spacewalking outside the station. If their Gemini-B failed while it was attached to the station, then they could discard it and extend their station stay until a new Gemini-B could be launched unmanned to the station.
The Bellcomm engineers provided a cost breakdown and spending schedule for their specialist station program. In 1969, the program's first year, NASA would spend $29 million to begin experiment hardware development. The following year, it would spend $42 million to start specialist station module development. Construction of the new Titan-IIIM launch pad at Cape Kennedy would commence in 1971. In that same year, NASA would spend $64 million to begin Gemini spacecraft modifications. In 1972, the program's peak funding year, NASA would spend a total of $787 million, bringing the total spent since program start to $1.361 billion.
The year 1973 would see peak funding for specialist station module development ($396 million); that same year, NASA would complete the new Titan-IIIM launch pad and modifications to Cape Kennedy's existing Launch Complex 41 Titan-III pad. Titan-IIIM launches in 1974 and 1975 would cost a total of $48 million. In all, NASA would spend $2.559 billion between 1969 and 1977 to fly the four specialist stations.
Eleven months after Marion and Schelke completed their specialist space station program proposal, Melvin Laird, President Richard Nixon's Secretary of Defense, announced that the increasingly costly U.S. Air Force MOL program would be scrapped (10 June 1969). This effectively ended plans to use Gemini spacecraft for new missions. NASA launched Skylab, the last vestige of AAP, atop the last Saturn V to fly on 14 May 1973. Three three-man crews reached Skylab on board Apollo Command and Service Module spacecraft. The last, the Skylab 4 crew, remained aloft for 84 days, a U.S. space endurance record not beaten until Norman Thagard lived on board the Russian Mir space station for 115 days in 1995.

Great summary, I especially like the section captured above.
His response to the opportunity has been critical to us having a chance to win, Carlisle said after the switch. Ive loved his approach the whole time. Even when he was out of the rotation and not injured, he kept working. He just kept his head in it and was very professional. While Tinsleys re-emergence was vital to the Pacers success, the emergence of a kinder, gentler Ron Artest was also key. Artest made his first NBA All-Star appearance, joining ONeal on the Eastern Conference roster, and was eventually named NBA Defensive Player of the Year.
While Artests talent and tenacity had never been questioned, his judgment and on-court antics, which resulted in 12 game suspensions for flagrant fouls and other indiscretions in 2002-03, had been a cause for concern.
Artest answered those questions by putting together the best season of his young career, blending 18.3 points per game (second on the team behind ONeal) with his smothering perimeter defense. He became one of the NBAs elite performers, and gave the Pacers the scorer they needed alongside ONeal.
ONeal joined a handful of players to average 20 points and 10 rebounds (20.1 points and 10.0 rebounds). ONeal joined MVP Kevin Garnett of Minnesota, San Antonios Tim Duncan (the 2003 MVP) and Portlands Zach Randolph on that short list of players. He also made his second consecutive All-Star start and third straight All-Star appearance as his evolution into one of the NBAs premier big men continued.
Factoring in offense and defense, theyre the top forward combo in the league, one NBA scout said of ONeal and Artest in Sports Illustrated. Throw in Harrington, whos becoming a monster and its not even close.

Governor Mike Pence's budget plan is focused on economic growth through new investment in transportation and education and lower taxes. OMB Director Chris Atkins presented the governor's budget to the Budget Committee today.
Pence's budget is honestly balanced and funds the Administration's top priorities while keeping spending a full percentage point below inflation. In addition, the budget maintains adequate reserves to protect against further economic downturn.
The budget includes policies that put kids first. It doubles growth in K-12 spending, provides permanent funding for full-day kindergarten, and increases teacher excellence grants by $6 million to provide pay increases for high-performing teachers.
Pence invests in the Hoosier workforce by providing a one percent increase in funding for public colleges and universities and $18 million over two years for adult workforce improvement funds. In addition, the budget invests $6 million over two years to launch Pence's effort to bring career, technical and vocation to every high school in Indiana by creating Indiana Works Councils. The councils will develop regional, demand-driven curricula to prepare students to start their careers when they graduate from high school.
With an eye on making high-demand, high-wage jobs a priority, Pence puts $3 million over the next two years into developing a partnership with Indiana's life sciences industry and its universities. The Indiana Applied Research Enterprise will spur innovation, research and entrepreneurial growth to create new jobs.
Governor Pence's lean budget proposal also targets over $300 million in excess reserves over the next two years and reinvests that money in Indiana's roads and infrastructure, a key component in growing Indiana's transportation and logistics networks.
In addition, the Pence budget reduces the personal income tax by 10 percent over the two-year budget cycle. This will put $500 million directly back into the Hoosier economy and permanently reduce the tax burden on most small and mid-sized businesses and family farms. The move will let Hoosiers keep more of their hard-earned dollars to save, spend or invest as they see fit.
The budget also includes $35 million for the Department of Child Services to hire more caseworkers and expand the emergency hotline. Governor Pence's budget includes money for an assessment of Indiana school security and also fully funds the Medicaid forecast. The Medicaid forecast is the projected increase in enrollment in Medicaid in the next two years.
"This is a jobs budget," said Pence. "It holds the line on spending, funds our priorities, and allows Hoosiers and most small businesses to keep more of their hard-earned income."

State Police allegedly found bloody blanket and pillow in Cambridge toddler's crib
MEDFORD – Blood-stained baby wipes were discovered in 1-year-old Rehma Sabir's bedroom, and State Police also found a blood-stained pillow and blanket in the toddler's crib, according to court records obtained by the Globe today.
Rehma Sabir died Jan. 16 and Middlesex prosecutors have charged Irish nanny Aisling McCarthy Brady with assaulting the child on Jan. 14, the same day a concerned neighbor reported hearing the child crying for nearly 90 minutes before she slowly settled into silence.
"By 8:36 a.m., [the neighbor] could hear the baby crying inside,'' according to a summary of the case against Brady filed in Cambridge District Court. "The crying continued and at around 9:30 a.m., the crying changed to extreme crying.''
Concerned, the neighbor walked downstairs and knocked on the apartment door "for a minute and a half, timing the knocks and then pounds on the door in between the gasping so it would be heard by someone inside,'' prosecutors said.
But no one answered the door, and the neighbor returned to her own unit. "From her apartment, she heard the baby cry for ten more minutes,'' prosecutors wrote. "It started to slow and settle down before stopping completely.''
Authorities allege that Brady violently assaulted the infant sometime Jan. 14, causing massive brain injuries. Doctors at Children's Hospital Boston also discovered that the girl had fractures to her left ulna, or elbow bone; her left tibia, or her shin bone; and left fibula, another leg bone, that were between two weeks and two months old. The child also had compression fractures to her vertebrae in multiple locations.
"Dr. Alice Newton, the medical director of Children's Child protection team, diagnosed Rehma as a victim of abusive head trauma given the constellation of injuries and the absence of a history of major trauma such as a high impact motor vehicle collision,'' prosecutors wrote.
Newton described "abusive head trauma'' as the violent shaking of a toddler, a direct blow to the child's head or a slamming a child into a hard object or surface. Newton, according to prosecutors, concluded that there was "no other medical explanation for Rehma's injuries or death.''
The child, according to the doctor, would have not appeared to be in normal health and would not have been able to "track people with her eyes, sit on her own, play with toys, hold a bottle, drink a bottle or eat food.''
Brady, a native of Ireland who is in the country illegally, is being held on $500,000 cash bail after pleading not guilty Tuesday to assault and battery charges. Her attorney, Melinda Thompson, said in court Tuesday that Brady played no role in the infant's death.
Prosecutors also disclosed that Brady was in charge of a second infant on Jan. 14 because Rehma Sabir's parents, Sameer Sabir and Nada Siddiqui, were part of a nanny share. The second child, a 7-month-old boy, was dropped off around 12:20 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. Brady told the parent that Sabir was asleep in her room; the parent did not look into Sabir's bedroom.
The second child was unharmed, prosecutors said.
According to the report, Brady arrived at the Cambridge home around 7:50 a.m. and awoke Rehma Sabir at 8:15 a.m., describing her to State Police as "cranky as usual.''
"By Ms. Brady's own account, Rehma continued to play, eat, track her with her eyes and appear otherwise happy and normal at least until the 1:30 p.m. feeding,'' prosecutors wrote. "Based on this reported history, the fatal injuries were inflicted sometime during or after this feeding and prior to finding Rehma seizing in her crib at 4:30 p.m.''
In her interview with State Police, Brady said Rehma had napped from about 10:20 a.m. until about 1 p.m. At that time, Brady put the toddler in her high chair to feed her lunch. The nanny described the toddler as a "fussy eater who sometimes held food in her mouth for up to an hour.''
The nanny told investigators that the child had two or three spoonfuls of potato and eggs, along with a bottle. Brady briefly stepped out of the room, and when she returned, she found the infant "slouched'' in her chair with her eyes half-open, Brady said.
Brady told police she put the infant back into her crib to resume napping, leaving her there until around 4:15 p.m. when she became concerned with the duration of the nap and tried to waken the child.
Brady noticed that Rehma was clenching her fist and her arms and legs were stiff. She picked Rehma up and she appeared limp,'' State Police wrote. "Brady got a wet cloth and placed it on Rehma's head.''
Brady contacted the child's father, who told her to call 911. At about the same time, the child's mother returned home.
According to prosecutors, Brady was the only adult present with Rehma Sabir after 1 p.m., which is when they allege the fatal blows were delivered.
When State Police examined the couple's apartment Jan. 17, they found the blood-stained materials. They also found damage to the drywall.
"We noted the wall directly next to the changing table had a piece of drywall/plaster missing … consistent with it being damaged by forceful contact with the corner of the changing table,'' State Police wrote.

Telescope Observations that Changed the World
Galileo made a number of observations that could not be explained with the accepted theories of the day. Old beliefs had to be re-examined.
The visual observations made by Galileo and the work of Nicolaus Copernicus, Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler toppled the Earth-centered view of the universe, replacing it with the heliocentric (Sun centered) model. The previous and long-held assumption that the heavens were perfect in form was suddenly in doubt.
2009 marks the 400th anniversary of Galileo's observations. Over the next few month's we will use Starry Night® to relive the exciting discoveries that changed forever our view of the universe and our place in it. We encourage educators to follow along with us in their classrooms.

Galileo's first observations of Jupiter on January 7, 1610, revealed three "stars" in line with Jupiter's equator. Galileo was not concerned by this observation as he believed they were fixed background stars.
But on the very next day, he found a different arrangement:
Galileo was puzzled by this observation and his thoughts were concerned with how Jupiter itself had moved relative to the fixed background stars.
Further observations over the next few days revealed that these "stars" continued to change their arrangement around Jupiter. Galileo knew that these changes could not be attributed to Jupiter itself and came to the astonishing realization that these three 'stars' were moving around Jupiter.
You can follow in Galileo's footsteps using Starry Night®. Begin by downloading the file Jupiter1610.snf. Open this file with Starry Night® (File-Open). Starry Night® will display the night sky as seen by Galileo 400 years ago on January 7, 1610.
Compare what you see in Starry Night® with Galileo's sketch on January 7, 1610. How many "stars" or more accurately moons, do you see around Jupiter? How do your observations in Starry Night® compare to Galileo's?
Advance the time by one day and compare the view in Starry Night® with Galileo's sketch on January 8, 1610.
How do your observations compare with Galileo's? Hint: Galileo's telescope had a field of view of about 15 arc minutes.
On January 13th, 1610 Galileo discovered an additional "star" which had escaped his earlier observations. These four "stars" are now know as the Galilean moons of Jupiter.
Stay tuned to next month as we continue to relive the discoveries made by Galileo that changed our view of the universe.

CHARITY fundraisers turned their memories into money for a good cause by lighting up Christmas.
The Beacon Centre For The Blind is better off to the tune of £3,500 after people sponsored lights on the charity's Forget Me Not Tree in memory of dead relatives.
The tree, at the Beacon Centre's headquarters in Sedgley, was lit up throughout the festive period and a dedication was made into a book of remembrance for each light sponsored.
Jenni Fryer, fundraising manager for the Beacon Centre, said: "Every year the centre's Christmas tree sparkles with hundreds of lights, demonstrating the tremendous support we receive for our work with visually impaired people across the West Midlands and Staffordshire.
"This vital funding enables us to offer a full range of residential, day care and community services to help local people. For example, just £60 can fund an outreach worker for a day, supporting visually impaired people to lead more independent lives in the community."

Really, quite highly unlikely.
As for the bible, most of the descriptions of supernatural events are borrowed from earlier myths from egyptian and Babylonian mythology, then re-edited to comply with monotheism.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Small investors are figuring out that manufacturing is getting a lot like them: small, yet interesting. It's not news that large tool manufacturers are scrambling for a foothold in a new world of smaller, leaner, more automated top-end manufacturing systems. High-end builders such as Oxnard, Calif.-based Haas Automation; Rochester, N.Y.-based Gleason; and Portland-based Small Parts Manufacturing are turning out a new generation of smart mills, lathes and cutters. And at least based on what I've seen in the past few months, these tools make what Vinnie Martino of American Chopper fame use look like high school metal shop. Bob Bechtold, founder and president of Harbec, an Ontario, N.Y., high-end prototype tool and injection plastic maker, told me that he predicts a red-hot revolution in smaller manufacturing tools that can be excellent bets for smaller, crowdfund-savvy backers. Bechtold even has a hip brand name for the idea: The "Toolmaker Movement." And it includes a new generation of 3-D printers from the likes of Stratasys, 3-D Systems and Germany's Voxeljet. To get a feel for how frothy the smaller fab device space is, check out the QU-BD One Up made by Little Rock, Ark., entrepreneur Chelsea Thompson. Right now on Kickstarter she has fetched north of $226,540 on a $9,000 goal for nothing more than a pretty simple 3-D printer that happens to cost less than $200. And after three months of speaking with designers, manufacturers and investors, the QU-BD is most definitely not the only opportunity shaping up in crowdfunded manufacturing tools. "The future will belong to the environmentally sustainable integration of all the parts of the production process by skilled product makers and craftspeople," Bechtel said emphatically."The dumb production line will no longer dominate." Here are my picks for hot fab tools that should be winners in this new world manufacturing order.

Dire Straits: The Perils of Writing the Early Modern English Coastline from Leland to Milton
Dire Straits: The Perils of Writing the Early Modern English Coastline from Leland to Milton
England became a centrally important maritime power in the early modern period, and its writers – acutely aware of their inhabiting an island – often depicted the coastline as a major topic of their works. However, early modern English versifiers had to reconcile this reality with the classical tradition, in which the British Isles were seen as culturally remote compared to the centrally important Mediterranean of antiquity. This was a struggle for writers not only because they used the classical tradition to legitimate their authority, but also because this image dominated cognitive maps of the oceanic world.As the first study of coastlines and early modern English literature, Dire Straits investigates the tensions of the classical tra

Richard Childress plans to have at least three Sprint Cup teams next year and still is leaving open the possibility of a fourth.
Childress might not know exactly how the future of Richard Childress Racing will look for a few months but he has confidence that his organization will continue to be considered one of NASCAR's strongest teams.
RCR is in transition with Kevin Harvick leaving for Stewart-Haas Racing after this season. Paul Menard recently signed a deal that should keep him with the team through 2016, and Jeff Burton said he has a long-term deal, which likely means he also will return in 2014.
MORE: Indy schedule | Indy and Stewart | Brickyard memorial moments | Eldora format
Childress grandson Austin Dillon is expected to be in a Cup car — and Childress has said he's leaning toward putting him in a No. 3 — but that might not be all for RCR in Cup in 2014.
"Right now we're finalizing some final things," Childress said Monday during a teleconference previewing this weekend's Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "We have sponsorship on a third (car) and we actually have some sponsorship on a fourth.
"But having it all finalized and put together, it could be a couple of months down the road before we have everything ready to do some announcing on any of that."
With Dillon expected to move from the Nationwide Series, Childress would need to find another driver for a fourth Cup time. The possibilities could include Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman, who is looking for a ride after Stewart-Haas announced recently that he won't return next season.
Harvick has 17 of RCR's 27 victories since 2004. Burton has four and Menard one (and former RCR driver Clint Bowyer had five).
While Harvick is fourth in the current Cup standings, Burton is 17th and Menard 20th.
"It was a business decision on his behalf to want to move on," Childress said of Harvick. "Hopefully we'll all look back at the career we had together and say it was all a lot of great times.
"We had some tough times, but we also have had some great times. Hopefully that's the way life carries on. We have (been competitive) for quite a few years. I don't see why it would stop now."
To get Dillon ready for Cup, Childress already has had him compete in six Cup races this year in addition to his full-time Nationwide schedule. Dillon also will compete at Indianapolis this weekend as well at Atlanta and Texas.
"I'm really, really proud to be there (at Indy) with him and to be able to watch him run that race," Childress said.
Eventually, Childress plans to have both of the Dillon brothers — 23-year-old Austin and 21-year-old Ty — racing full Cup schedules.
"They're good young men," Childress said. "They understand the value of this sport. They understand how important the fans are. They understand how important the whole sponsorship is, how important NASCAR is.
"They've seen all different types of drivers come through the sport. The respect that they have for the sport and for what it has created for them and our family, they have a great appreciation for it."

Fact: Debt doesn't discriminate
So here's the update you've been waiting for. Is it working? Is my insane plan of cutting spending, implementing lifestyle changes, ramping up savings and paying down more debt worth it? (See the May 2012 issue or visit http://dvm360.com/campfield for details of my "death to debt" plan.)
Now, I did experience a salary increase since I've been working more and our caseload has increased. And just in case you were picturing me huddled over a garbage can fire under a freeway overpass on my nights off, I did splurge a little bit this year. I pursued some of my passions, engaged in some relaxing time off—heck, I even sent a few gifts to my family for the holidays. But I was able to do so within a defined budget I set before making those expenditures. The real changes I made in managing my finances weren't easy, but the results have been real.Chipping away at the numbers
I recently had the opportunity to pose some questions to Robert Coleman, a wealth management director in Northern California who's been on Barron's annual "America's Top 100 Financial Advisors" list for several years.
I briefly outlined my "sacrifice and pay down debt" plan to him. Mr. Coleman responded first by stressing the importance of maintaining an emergency cash pool of funds. Duly noted.
I then showed him my loan balances and consolidation rates. In my case, the smallest of my three consolidated loans is at the highest rate (6.5 percent). And that's precisely the one he suggested I go after first. "High rates are high rates," he said. "They're costing you the most per marginal dollar. Also, it feels good to pay off a loan and gives other lenders evidence of your intent to pay off the other loans. Paying off a little here and a little there doesn't leave anyone feeling satisfied."
Heeding Mr. Coleman's advice, I made sure to establish a comfortable cash reserve, then I continued to go after the student debt. I finished 2012 with a payment of more than $10,000 that completely paid off the smallest of my three consolidated loans.
I can't describe the sense of accomplishment I got from seeing one of the loans completely disappear from my balance sheet. Now that I've eliminated that loan, around $2,000 of my income will stay in my pocket instead of going to the government as loan interest during the next six years.

Did You Know?
Bald Eagles can lift up to 4 pounds!
For the past 5 years Potter Park Zoo has been participating in the Species Survival Program (SSP) for the Puerto Rican Crested Toad. The Puerto Rican Crested Toad is listed as Threatened by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and is the only Native species of toad found in Puerto Rico.
Every year we undertake the difficult task of getting these toads to breed in captivity. Prior to breeding we get recommendations from our SSP Coordinator regarding which toads are to be bred. This ensures that all zoos participating in the program do their part and help to maintain genetic diversity in the breeding population.
The process by which we get the toads to breed is a very delicate task and our goal is to replicate the rainy season found in the spring and fall in Puerto Rico. We begin by cooling the toads down to 66 degrees Fahrenheit and leaving them in this moist, cool environment for a month. We check on them daily but they spend most of this time hibernating. The cool temperatures are necessary for good egg development in our female toads.
After the cooling process, it's time to wake them up! We heat their room to 82 degrees Fahrenheit over the course of just three days and then spend a week feeding them and giving them anti-fungal baths to prevent the spread of Chytrid (a fungus that is very dangerous and responsible for killing off multitudes of amphibians world wide) to the eggs and tadpoles.
Next we place the toads, split into their recommended pairings, into a specially made rain tank simulating natural conditions in the wild. Due to difficulties in captive breeding we have to inject our toads with a hormone to assist with egg and sperm development. During this time we play their breeding call until the toads amplex and eggs are laid. Then we cross our fingers and wait.
This past round of breeding yielded up nearly 1200 tadpoles when all was said and done. We shipped these tadpoles to Puerto Rico so that they could be released into the wild and help bolster the wild population. Some years we hold a few back to raise to adulthood so that they can enter the captive breeding population and help maintain genetic diversity.
Though we have a protocol to follow, over the years, we've found that some very simple things make a large difference in the breeding of the Puerto Rican Crested Toad. Water temperatures, adult toad diet, tadpole diet and method of cooling/heating have all needed to be tweaked to fit our zoo and our circumstances. We are super excited to have been so successful this time around and we are looking forward to continued success!
