Metals in the aquatic environments are an environmental concern. The extent of the negative impact of metals is strongly dependent on the molecular form of the metal. Metals may be bound to natural organic matter, bacterial and/or mineral surfaces. Often (but not always), the bound metal is less toxic and possibly less mobile then the free form. Analytical methods that determine forms of metal are termed speciation methods. Metal speciation in aquatic systems is my primary research interest.

The National Rifle Association said the secretive negotiations and lightning-fast passage of New York's tough new gun control laws squelched the powerful gun lobby's ability to mount opposition.
The legislation was negotiated over the weekend, introduced on the first day of the 2013 legislative session and signed into law the next day.
"They did slide this through in the middle of the night," said Tom King, president of the New York Rifle & Pistol Association, the state's NRA affiliate. "There was no negotiation with any pro-gun group. Up until 10 o'clock in the evening of the day of the vote, they were telling me there was no agreement." READ MORE

Gun Permit Applications are up; News Seeks Database of Gun Permit Holders
The Buffalo News has requested access to the entire public database of pistol permit owners in Erie County, re-lighting an isssue that erupted recently when a suburban New York City newspaper published the names and addresses of gun owners in its readership area.
UPDATE: The News says it has asked for the information, but not to publish.
" The News seeks this information just as it has data of voter registration, criminal records, municipal salaries, property assessments and tax rates," wrote editor Stan Evans.
" One reason for seeking the information about gun permits is so that in the event of a gun related crime in the future, we would be able to report whether that individual has a legal hand gun," he said in a prepared statement.
Shortly after Governor Cuomo and the State Legislature agreed to fresh new gun control measures in New York State-- including ammunition limits and a broader ban on newly defined assault weapons-- various lawmakers and policy groups jumped into the discussion.
Here's a sampling of their statements
Here's What's In The NYS Gun Control Law: -Under current state law, assault weapons are defined by having two "military rifle" features spelled out in the law. The proposal would reduce that to one feature and include the popular pistol grip. -Make the unsafe storage of assault weapons a misdemeanor. -Mandate a police registry of assault weapons. -Establish a state registry for all private sales, with a background check done through a licensed dealer for a fee, excluding sales to immediate relatives. -Require a therapist who believes a mental health patient made a credible threat to use a gun illegally to report the threat to a mental health director who would then have to report serious threats to the state Department of Criminal Justice Services. A patient's gun could be taken from him or her. -Ban the Internet sale of assault weapons. -Restrict ammunition magazines to seven bullets, from the current national standard of 10. Current owners of higher-capacity magazines would have a year to sell them out of state. An owner caught at home with eight or more bullets in a magazine could face a misdemeanor charge. -Require that stolen guns be reported within 24 hours. Otherwise, the owner would face a possible misdemeanor. -Increase sentences for gun crimes including for taking a gun on school property. The "Webster provision" would increase penalties for shooting first responders. Two firefighters were killed when shot by a person who set a fire in the western New York town of Webster last month. The crime would be punishable by life in prison without parole. -Limit the state records law to protect handgun owners from being identified publicly. The provision would allow a handgun permit holder a means to maintain privacy under the Freedom of Information law. -Require pistol permit holders or those who will be registered as owners of assault rifles to be recertifies at least every five years to make sure they are still legally able to own the guns. |
Obama was to announce the measures Wednesday at a White House event that will bring together law enforcement officials, lawmakers and children who wrote the president about gun violence following last month's shooting of 20 young students and six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
The broad package Obama will unveil will also include efforts to stop bullying and boost availability of mental health services.
But Congress would have to approve the bans on assault weapons and ammunition magazines holding more than 10 bullets, along with a requirement for universal background checks on gun buyers. Some gun control advocates worry that opposition from Republicans and conservative Democrats, as well as the National Rifle Association, will be too great to overcome.
"We're not going to get an outright ban," Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., said of limits on assault weapons. Still, McCarthy, a leading voice in Congress in favor of gun control, said she would keep pushing for a ban and hoped Obama would as well.
White House officials, seeking to avoid setting up the president for failure, have emphasized that no single measure - even an assault weapons ban - would solve a scourge of gun violence across the country. But without such a ban or other sweeping, congressionally-approved measures, it's unclear whether executive actions alone could make any noticeable difference.
"It is a simple fact that there are limits to what can be done within existing law," White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday. "Congress has to act on the kinds of measures we've already mentioned because the power to do that is reserved by Congress."

SANTA MARIA - Eleven defendants charged in the alleged, kidnapping, torture and murder of Anthony Ibarra earlier this year are due in Santa Maria court Thursday morning.
Lead prosecuting deputy District Attorney Ann Bramsen says the Ibarra eleven defendants will be asked to enter pleas to the charges against them handed down in a Santa Barbara County Grand Jury indictment.
"I anticipate the defendants will enter not guilty pleas and deny the special allegations and then they will have to decide if they want a speedy trial within 60 days of tomorrow", Bramsen says, "or whether they want to do what's called waive time which essentially means they would be agreeing to have a trial later than 60 days from their arraignment."
Bramsen says she prefers to keep all eleven defendants together in the same case as it moves forward toward a possible trial but she adds its likely some of the defendants will agree to a plea bargain before the case goes that far.
"It always makes more sense from my perspective to keep it all together, for a lot of different reasons", Bramsen says, "one, the defendants are all inter-connected or inter-twined in this particular case and two, it helps the integrity of the proceedings and judicial economy and the witnesses to have to go through only one trial if possible."
All eleven Ibarra defendants remain in custody at Santa Barbara County Jail.

Few marine creatures are as mysterious and intimidating as jellyfish. Though easily recognized, these animals are often misunderstood. Some bathers and beachcombers react with fear upon encountering these invertebrates, but, in fact, most jellyfish in South Carolina waters are harmless. This article was prepared to help coastal residents and vacationers learn the difference between the jellyfish to avoid and the ones you can safely ignore.
Jellyfish are members of the phylum Cnidaria, a structurally simple marine group of both fixed and mobile animals: sea anemones, sea whips, corals and hydroids are polyps that grow attached to rocks or other hard surfaces; jellyfish and colonial siphonophores like the Portuguese man-of-war are mobile (either actively swimming or subject to winds and currents). Inherent to both types of life history is their radial symmetry (body parts radiating from a central axis). This symmetry allows jellyfish to detect and respond to food or danger from any direction.
Instead of a brain, jellyfish possess an elementary nervous system, or nerve net, which consists of receptors capable of detecting light, odor and other stimuli and coordinating appropriate responses.
Jellyfish are composed of an outer layer (epidermis), which covers the external body surface, and an inner layer (gastrodermis), which lines the gut. Between the epidermis and gastrodermis is a layer of thick elastic jellylike substance called mesoglea ("middle jelly"). Jellyfish have a simple digestive cavity, (coelenteron), which acts as a gullet, stomach and intestine, with one opening for both the mouth and anus. Four to eight oral arms are located near the mouth and are used to transport food that has been captured by the tentacles to the mouth.
Jellyfish come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and colors. Most are semi-transparent or glassy and bell-shaped, measuring less than an inch to more than a foot across the bell, although some may reach seven feet in diameter. The tentacles of some jellyfish can reach lengths greater than 100 feet. Regardless of their size or shape, most jellyfish are very fragile, often containing less than 5% solid organic matter.
Jellyfish inhabit every major oceanic area of the world and are capable of withstanding a wide range of temperatures and salinities. Most live in shallow coastal waters, but a few inhabit depths of 12,000 feet!
Life Cycles
The life cycle of a typical jellyfish is complex and involves an alteration of generations in which the animal passes through two different body forms. The dominant and conspicuous medusa is the familiar form, while the smaller polyp form is restricted to the larval stage. Jellyfish reproduce sexually, and individuals are either male or female. The reproductive organs (gonads) develop in the lining of the gut. During reproduction, the male releases sperm through its mouth into the water column. Some of the swimming sperm are swept into the mouth of the female, where fertilization occurs. Early embryonic development begins either inside the female or in brood pouches along the oral arms. Small swimming larvae (planulae) leave the mouth or brood pouches and enter the water column. After several days the larvae attach themselves to something firm on the sea floor (rocks, shells, etc.) and gradually transform into flower-like polyps (scyphistoma). These polyps use tentacles to feed on microscopic organisms in the water column. Polyps can multiply by producing buds or cysts that separate from the first polyp and develop into new polyps. When conditions are right, fully developed polyps develop constrictions in their bodies that eventually produce a larval stage (the strobila), which resembles a stack of saucers. Each individual saucer develops into a tiny jellyfish (ephyra stage), which separates itself from the stack and becomes free swimming. In a few weeks, the ephyra will grow into an adult jellyfish (medusa), thus completing the complex life cycle. Jellyfish normally live for a few months; however, the polyp stage may be perennial.
The adult jellyfish drifts in the water with limited control over its horizontal movement. It is, however, endowed with muscles that allow it to contract its bell, reducing the space under it and forcing water out through the opening. This pulsating rhythm allows for regulation of vertical movement. Because jellyfish are sensitive to light, this vertical movement can be important. Some jellyfish, like the sea wasp, descend to deeper waters during the bright sun of the midday and surface during early morning, late afternoon and evening. Despite this ability to move vertically, jellyfish largely depend upon ocean currents, tides and wind for horizontal movement.
To some, jellyfish may appear to have no apparent value, but they are, in fact, a very important part of the marine food web. Jellyfish are carnivorous, feeding mostly on a variety of zooplankton, comb jellies and occasionally other jellyfish. Larger species, however, are capable of capturing and devouring large crustaceans and other marine organisms. Jellyfish are themselves preyed upon by spadefish, sunfish, sea turtles and other marine organisms. Some species, including the mushroom and cannonball jellyfish, are even considered a delicacy by humans. Pickled or semi-dried mushroom jellyfish are consumed in large quantities in Asia, where they constitute a multimillion-dollar part of the seafood business.
Venom Apparatus
Jellyfish are equipped with a specialized venom apparatus (cnidoblast) for defense and feeding. A capsule (nematocyst) inside the cnidoblast contains a trigger and a stinging structure. The stinging structure varies according to species but generally consists of a hollow coiled thread with barbs lining its length. Nematocysts are concentrated on the tentacles or oral arms. A single tentacle can have hundreds or thousands of nematocysts embedded in the epidermis. Nematocysts are activated when tentacles make contact with an object. Pressure within the nematocyst forces the stinging thread to rapidly uncoil. The thousands of nematocysts act as small harpoons, firing into prey, injecting paralyzing toxins.
Stings usually paralyze or kill only small creatures (fish, small crustaceans), but some jellyfish are harmful to humans. Although jellyfish do not "attack" humans, swimmers and beachcombers can be stung when they come into contact with the jellyfish tentacles with functional nematocysts. The severity of the sting depends on the species of jellyfish, the penetrating power of the nematocyst, the thickness of exposed skin of the victim and the sensitivity of the victim to the venom. The majority of stings from jellyfish occur in tropical and warm temperate waters. Most species off the southeastern coast are capable of inflicting only mild stings that result in minor discomfort.
Local Jellyfish
Although most jellyfish that inhabit South Carolina waters are harmless to humans, a few require caution. Learning how to identify the different species can help you decide which ones can be safely ignored.
Cannonball Jelly
(Stomolophus meleagris)
(Also known as the jellyball, and the cabbage head jelly)
Cannonball jellyfish are the most common in our area. During the summer and fall, large numbers of this species appear near the coast and in the mouths of estuaries. Cannonball jellies can be easily identified by their round white bells that are bordered below by a brown or purple band of pigment. They have no tentacles, but they do have a firm, chunky feeding apparatus formed by the joining of the oral arms. Cannonballs rarely grow larger than 8-10 inches in diameter. They are considered to be pests by commercial trawl fishermen because they clog and damage nets and slow down sorting and trawl times, although turtle excluder devices in trawl nets somewhat alleviate that problem. Fortunately, this species is one of the least venomous of our jellyfish.
Mushroom Jelly
(Rhopilema verrilli)
The mushroom jelly is often mistaken for the cannonball jelly, but it differs in many ways. The larger mushroom jelly, growing 10-20 inches in diameter, lacks the brown band associated with the cannonball and is much flatter and softer. Like the cannonball, the mushroom jelly has no tentacles and chunky feeding apparatus; however, it possesses long fingerlike appendages hanging from the feeding apparatus. This species is also considered a pest by commercial fishermen, but they are much less of a problem than cannonball jellies. The mushroom jelly does not represent a hazard to humans.
Southern Moon Jelly
(Aurelia marginalis)
Probably the most widely recognized jellyfish, the moon jelly is relatively infrequent in South Carolina waters. It has a transparent, saucer-shaped bell and is easily identified by the four pink horseshoe-shaped gonads visible through the bell. It typically reaches 6-8 inches in diameter, but some are known to exceed 20 inches. Recent evidence suggests that there are several similar-looking species of moon jellies within a group of species that were once called the moon jelly, Aurelia aurita. The southern populations, including those in South Carolina, are now considered to be a distinct species (A. marginalis). The moon jelly is only slightly venomous. Contact can produce symptoms from immediate prickly sensations to mild burning. Pain is usually restricted to immediate area of contact.
Lion's Mane
(Cyanea capillata)
Also know as the winter jelly, the lion's mane typically appears during colder months of the year. The bell, measuring 6-8 inches, is saucer-shaped with reddish-brown oral arms and eight clusters of tentacles hanging underneath. Cyanea are generally considered moderate stingers. Symptoms are similar to those of the moon jelly but, usually more intense. Pain is relatively mild and often described as burning rather than stinging.
Sea Nettle
(Chrysaora quinquecirrha)
The sea nettle is frequently observed in South Carolina waters during summer months. This jellyfish is saucer-shaped with brown or red pigments, usually 6-8 inches in diameter. Four oral arms and long marginal tentacles hang from the bell and can extend several feet. Considered moderate to severe, symptoms from sea nettle stings are similar to those of the lion's mane. Given that they are most abundant in the summer, when the greatest number of people are likely to be swimming in the ocean, this species is thought to be responsible for most of the jellyfish stings that occur in South Carolina. Exercise caution if sea nettles are observed in the water, and do not swim if large numbers are present.
Sea Wasp
(Chiropsalmus quadrumanus)
Known as the box jelly because of its cube-shaped bell, the sea wasp is the most venomous jellyfish inhabiting our waters. Their potent sting can cause severe dermatitis and may even require hospitalization. Sea wasps are strong, graceful swimmers reaching 5-6 inches in diameter and 4-6 inches in height. Several long tentacles hang from the four corners of the cube. A similar species, the four-tentacled Tamoya haplonema, also occurs in our waters.
Portuguese Man-of-War
(Physalia physalis)
Although a member of the phylum Cnidaria, the Portuguese man-of-war is not a "true" jellyfish. These animals consist of a complex colony of individual members, including a float, modified feeding polyps and reproductive medusae.
Physalia typically inhabit the warm waters of the tropics, subtropics and Gulf Stream. Propelled by wind and ocean currents, they sometimes drift into nearshore waters of South Carolina. Though they infrequently visit our coast, swimmers should learn to identify these highly venomous creatures.
The gas-filled float of the man-of-war is purple-blue and can reach lengths of 10 inches. Under the float, tentacles equipped with thousands of nematocysts hang from the feeding polyps extending as much as 30 to 60 feet.
The man-of-war can inflict extremely painful stings. Symptoms include severe shooting pain described as a shock-like sensation, and intense joint and muscle pain. Pain may be accompanied by headaches, shock, collapse, faintness, hysteria, chills, fever, nausea and vomiting.
Initial contact with Physalia may result in only a small number of stings. However, efforts to escape from the tentacles may further discharge nematocysts and intensify stings. Care should be taken when removing the adhering tentacles. Severe stings can occur even when the animal is beached or dead. Another jellyfish that could potentially be confused with the man-o-war is the Vellela Vellela, which has the common name of "by-the-wind-sailor." This relatively small (4 inches) colonial hydrozoan has a bright blue bladder. It is typically oceanic but may be blown into coastal waters. This species is of little threat to humans, causing perhaps a mild tingling. Given the significant danger of Physalia, all jellyfish having a blue float should be considered dangerous unless specified by an expert.
Treatment of Sting
Primary first aid for any jellyfish sting should be to minimize the number of nematocysts discharging into the skin and to reduce the harmful effects of the venom.
If stung by a jellyfish, the victim should carefully remove the tentacles that adhere to the skin by using sand, clothing, towels, seaweed or other available materials. As long as tentacles remain on the skin, they will continue to discharge venom.
A variety of substances have been used to reduce the effects of jellyfish stings. Meat tenderizer, sugar, vinegar, plant juices and sodium bicarbonate have all been used with varying degrees of success. Methylated spirits and other forms of alcohol formerly recommended for inhibiting stinging cells actually stimulate them and may increase pain and cause severe skin reactions. Picric acid and human urine also cause a discharge of nematocysts and should not be used.
Victims of serious stings should make every effort to get out of the water as soon as possible to avoid drowning. If swelling and pain from more serious stings persist, prompt medical attention should be sought. Recovery periods can vary from several minutes to several weeks.
Care should be taken when swimming in areas where dangerous jellies are known to exist or when an abundance of jellies of any type is present. Keep in mind that tentacles of some species may trail a great distance from the body of the organism and should be given lots of room. Stings, resulting from remnants of damaged tentacles, can occur in waters after heavy storms. Rubber skin-diving suits offer protection against most contact.
Be careful when investigating jellyfish that have washed ashore. Although they may be dead, they may still be capable of inflicting stings. Remember to take precautions when removing tentacles after contact or additional stings may result.
Saltwater Fishing Conservation & Ethics
Although most people once considered ocean resources to be unlimited, recent rapid declines in the populations of many commercial and recreational species have demonstrated the opposite.
Numerous types of saltwater game fish now are being over harvested, and other species will face a similar fate unless all anglers practice wise conservation and adopt an ethical approach to fishing.
Size and catch limits, seasons and gear restrictions should be adhered to strictly. These regulations change from time to time as managers learn more about fish life histories and how to provide angling opportunities without depleting stocks.
The challenge of catching, not killing, fish provides anglers with the excitement and the reward of fishing. Undersized fish or fish over the limit should be released to ensure the future of fish populations. The number of saltwater finfish tagged and released annually in South Carolina has increased significantly in recent years as more and more fishermen take up this practice, providing information on growth and movement of fish as well as conserving resources.
Saltwater fishermen can further contribute to conservation by purchasing a Saltwater Recreational Fishing License, which is required to fish from a private boat or gather shellfish in South Carolina's salt waters. Funds generated by the sale of licenses must be spent on programs that directly benefit saltwater fish, shellfish and fishermen. Help ensure the outdoor enjoyment of future generations by strictly adhering to all rules, regulations, seasons, catch limits and size limits, and through the catch and release of saltwater game fish.
This publication was made possible in part with funds from the sale of the South Carolina Saltwater Recreational Fishing License and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Sportfish Restoration Fund. The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources publishes an annual Rules and Regulations booklet that lists all saltwater fishing regulations. Have an enjoyable fishing trip by reading these requirements before you fish.

Mali's president has named Diango Cissoko as the country's new interim prime minister, according to state media reports, hours after the abrupt resignation of the former prime minister following his arrest by soldiers.
Cissoko is a former public ombudsman for the republic, according to the state-owned newspaper L'Essor.
In a brief online report, the newspaper states that interim President Dioncounda Traore signed two decrees Tuesday, one removing Diarra from office and the second naming Cissoko as his successor.
"Things happened very quickly yesterday," the report says.
Cissoko, 62, is a longtime civil servant, according to public broadcaster ORTM, having served as secretary-general for former President Moussa Traore and his successor, Amadou Toumani Toure, who was deposed in March.
Diarra abruptly resigned Tuesday on state television, a day after he was arrested by soldiers loyal to a former coup leader.
The development was seen as another blow to the stability of a country once hailed as a model of democracy in Africa, but derailed this year by a coup and an uprising of Islamist militants.
It is not yet clear what impact the change in leadership will have on regional and international efforts to tackle advances by the militants in the country's North.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Tuesday he was "troubled" by the resignation and called again for a cessation of military interference in politics. He called for Mali to hold elections and restore peace and stability.
The Economic Community of West African States, which appointed the interim president, also expressed concern over the resignation and condemned "any form of interference by the military in the political process."
It urged the Malian president to "take all necessary and immediate measures to form a representative and inclusive government as soon as possible in order to pursue the ongoing efforts to end the crisis."
Diarra, a former NASA engineer who holds U.S. citizenship, was set to fly to Paris for medical care Monday. But he received notice that his bags had been removed from the plane he was on, according to an aide who spoke to CNN on the condition of not being named.
Diarra went home. Three pickup trucks filled with armed soldiers pulled up late at night and took him away to military headquarters in Kati, five miles north of the capital, Bamako, the aide told CNN. Former coup leader Capt. Amadou Sanogo met Diarra.
Before dawn, armed soldiers brought the former prime minister to broadcaster ORTM and gave him a statement to read, said TV technician Adama Haidara. "I cannot say if he was forced," Haidara said. "He looked unharmed."
In his televised appearance on the military-controlled broadcaster, Diarra did not offer a reason for his resignation, except for a vague statement that he solemnly delivered.
"Our country, Mali, is going through the most difficult period in its history," he said. "During this time of crisis, the men and women of this country -- uncertain of what is going to happen to their country -- find themselves in an unfortunate situation.
"That's why I, Cheikh Modibo Diarra, have resigned with all my government, on this day, Tuesday, 11 of December of 2012."
Diarra's whereabouts are unknown, but his aide said Tuesday he believed he was still in Bamako. He was not harmed when he was arrested, the aide said.
"The arrest was made by a small force loyal to Sanogo," army spokesperson Col. Idrissa Traore said. "The majority of the military officers in Bamako were not informed about the arrest of Mr. Diarra, and no one knows what will happen now."
Mali held its first democratic elections in 1992 after decades of military rule, and had a strong democracy for the most part.
That was until March, when a group of soldiers toppled the government, which it accused of not providing adequate equipment to battle ethnic Tuareg rebels roaming the vast desert in the North.
The then-President Amadou Toumani Toure disappeared from sight.
The Tuareg rebels took advantage of the power vacuum and seized parts of the North. They have always wanted independence, and have staged several rebellions since the 1960s.
After Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi was killed in October 2011 and Libya plunged into chaos, Tuaregs, who had fought by his side, took weapons to Mali to ramp up their efforts.
A power struggle erupted between the Tuaregs and local al Qaeda-linked radicals, who prevailed and seized control of two-thirds of northern Mali, an area the size of France.

I'm pretty sure that I drive my husband nuts with the amount of strawberries that I buy at the grocery store. He always gives me the "eye" and I immediately promise that I'll use them up and not let them go bad. I can't help it. There's just something about those precious and plump red berries that keep me coming back for more...and more...and more.
Whether I make strawberry pie, strawberry rhubarb pie, strawberry rustic pie, smoothies, chocolate-dipped strawberries, or throw them in my cereal or oatmeal...I'm always trying to come up with new ways to add my favorite fruit into baked goods, beverages and other treats.
On my counter sits this beautiful glass dome under which I keep most of these baked goods. There is hardly a day that goes by where I don't have a tasty treat under it...except when I woke up one morning this weekend and noticed that all of the cookies disappeared into thin air. After perusing my cupboards and fridge I decided to make scones and, because I had a ton of strawberries on hand (surprise surprise), I decided to throw them into the batter.
Strawberry Scones
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs, divided
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Place flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and butter in a bowl and mix until well blended.
- Add one egg and heavy cream; mix until soft. Fold in strawberries.
- Knead dough 3 times on a lightly floured surface. Pat the dough into into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges.
- Place wedges two inches apart on a greased baking sheet (or use parchment paper).
- Beat the other egg with water and brush egg mixture over the wedges. Sprinkle the tops of the wedges with sugar.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes and serve warm.

Kansas State Wildcats Football News: Regular Season and Preseason Updates
Kansas State Wildcats Football Tickets - Overview
The Kansas State Wildcats play Division I college football for Kansas State University in the Big 12 Conference. Kansas State plays its home games at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, KS and is coached by Bill Snyder. The Wildcats' main rivals are Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa State. Kansas State's football program began in 1896. The Wildcats lost their first official game to Fort Riley, 14-0.The Wildcats found success early on their program's history. K-State appeared to be headed to the Rose Bowl in 1931, but standout fullback Ralph Graham got hurt. In 1934, K-State went 5-0 in the Big Six Conference for its first major conference championship. Sadly, winning at Kansas State dried up for the next 60 years until Bill Snyder took over the program in 1991. That year, the Wildcats finished 7-4, and just missed out on receiving a bowl bid. Kansas State went to its first bowl game in 1993 and went 11-0 during the 1998 regular season. Snyder led K-State to 136 victories during his first 17 years with the Wildcats, which was as many as the program had won from 1935 to 1988. The Wildcats also won Big 12 North titles in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2003 under Snyder. The Wildcats have played their home games at Bill Snyder Family Stadium since 1968. The 50,000-seat stadium is located in Manhattan, KS. It was known as KSU Stadium until 2005, it was renamed after K-State's legendary coach and his family. Since 1990, the Wildcats have won close to 80 percent of its home games. K-State won 26 straight home games from 1996 to 2000. Don't miss out on seeing K-State fight its way back to Big 12 prominence with coach Snyder back at the helm. Get your Kansas State Wildcats football tickets through SeatGeek.

Job Descriptions for Forum Administrators
I am launching a forum along with 2 other founders/admins. The help was necessary being that we're all 3 grad students. The forum niche is simply our health-related profession. I'm looking to create job descriptions for each staff member and I feel it is necessary to have responsibilities delineated and spelled out for us admins. Personally, I'm going to handle the technical side of things, along with overseeing long-term decisions and goal planning being that I'm the founder. I assume there's marketing, forum content stuff, promotions, etc. So having 3 admins with you leading the way, how would you do it?
With each admin pushing ahead with their level of knowledge.
A good sense of grammar and punctuation also helps too.
I agree with the old man.
Good luck,

text: Stage, film and television actor G.W. Bailey will reign at Bacchus XLV on February 10,2013. Bailey currently stars on the TNT series Major Crimes, a spinoff of The Closer, continuing in his role as Lt. Provenza. A native of Port Arthur, Texas, Bailey has enjoyed an extensive career as a dramatic actor and for portraying "crusty" comedic characters such as Staff Sergeant Luther Rizzo in M*A*S*H, Captain Thaddeus Harris in Police Academy, Captain Felix Maxwell in Mannequin and Detective Lieutenant Louie Provenza in The Closer. He also landed roles in Starsky and Hutch, Rustler's Rhapsody and Charlie's Angel's. Bailey also serves as Executive Director of the Sunshine Kids, a nationally recognized foundation dedicated to children with cancer. Bailey was introduced to the Sunshine Kids by his goddaughter Brandy Aldridge who had been diagnosed with leukemia. During the last 15 years, Bailey has significantly increased the number of young cancer patients who participate in Sunshine Kids programs which provide positive group activities to patients and their families. "The Krewe of Bacchus is excited to have G.W. Bailey as our forty-fifth King," said Krewe Captain Pip Brennan. "G.W.'s commitment to young cancer patients ties in well with Bacchus' work each year at Children's Hospital," said Brennan. "We know G.W. is looking forward to both meeting the patients at Children's and reigning over Mardi Gras' premiere parade." The Krewe of Bacchus parade was founded in 1968 by a handful of New Orleans business leaders whose dream was to revolutionize Mardi Gras with larger and more spectacular floats, a more diverse membership, and a national celebrity as king. Bacchus staged their first parade in 1969 with 250 members and fifteen floats. Bacchus has now grown to 1,350 members and 33 animated super-floats. Recent Bacchus monarchs have included Will Ferrell, Andy Garcia, James Gandolfini, and Nicolas Gage.

Hunted by the hellbourne for their prized shell, they are a main ingredient for the Voodoo Jester potions. No one knows how long they can live for but shells have been found from dead bubble turtles that have been over one thousand years old. The name bubble turtle comes from the constant foaming of the mouth in which the bubble turtle uses to catch prey and protect itself in a manner very similar to mantis shrimp. Young bubble turtles have been seen playing with these bubbles hence the name bubble bobble turtle. Ryven joins the fight for the Legion to avenge his endangered kin.
Ryven, the Bubble Turtle's Legion Back Story
Foreword: Before reading the skills remember that knockback in this specific case is not a Disable, and is not like the spell 'Greater Bash.' However knockback simply keeps enemy units at the distance stated by the spell, effectively creating a new form of defense and support.
Bubble Wrap [q]
Ryven foams at the mouth creating a bubble shield around his entire body. The shield pushes back enemies if they attack ryven or friendly units within range of the bubble and returns damage.
Level 1 - 15 damage when struck / 140 knockback.
Level 2 - 30 damage when struck / 180 knockback.
Level 3 - 45 damage when struck / 220 knockback.
Level 4 - 60 damage when struck / 260 knockback.
Cooldown: 30 seconds
Mana Cost: 75/100/125/150
Level 1: Area of effect 300. Lasts 4 seconds.
Level 2: Area of effect 350. Lasts 6 seconds.
Level 3: Area of effect 400. Lasts 8 seconds.
Level 4: Area of effect 450. Lasts 10 seconds.
(Clarification: Every time Ryven is struck the enemy unit is dealt damage depending on the level of the spell and is knocked back. Spell needs to be activated and only lasts 10 seconds at level 3. After spell wears off the effects no longer occur when Ryven is struck by a melee or ranged attack. This is a self buff and can not be placed on friendly units. It is a twist for countering carry heroes by avoiding the typical damage reduction and evasive passives instead Ryven gets the ability to knock units back when he is struck.
Edit: While the shield is on Ryven, friendly heroes can stand next to ryven or anywhere within the radius of the shield around ryven and be safe from melee attacks.)
Bubble Bath [w]
Ryven foams at the mouth with every attack creating a bubble around him until it eventually pops covering his prey in a bubble bath.
Level 1 - Bubble Bath deals 10 damage per attack saved and knockback for 200. Stacks 5 times for a total of 50 damage.
Level 2 - Bubble Bath deals 20 damage per attack saved and knockback for 200. Stacks 5 times for a total of 100 damage.
Level 3 - Bubble Bath deals 30 damage per attack saved and knockback for 240. Stacks 5 times for a total of 150 damage.
Level 4 - Bubble Bath deals 40 damage per attack saved and knockback for 240. Stacks 5 times for a total of 200 damage.
Level 1: Area of effect 300. Can trigger any time with a second sub spell
Level 2: Area of effect 325. Can trigger any time with a second sub spell
Level 3: Area of effect 350. Can trigger any time with a second sub spell
Level 4: Area of effect 400. Can trigger any time with a second sub spell
(Clarification: Ryven builds up a bubble around him that deals damage depending on the amount of attacks Ryven saves up before he chooses to pop it with his sub skill Burst Your Bubble. The bubbles reach its full potential at 5 attacks max. Level 1 can deal 10 damage with 1 attack or 50 damage with 5 attacks. When the bubble pops, enemies take full damage while getting knocked back for 200 depending on the level. This is very similar to the old Storm Spirit passive only in one way and that is you need to attack to build the charges up, however on the 5th attack it will not trigger because it is a spell that gets released all around your body. The only way to trigger it is to leave Burst Your Bubble on autocast or manually click Burst Your Bubble. The AoE will be a complete 360 degrees around Ryvens body.)
Burst Your Bubble [s]
Ryven eats the foam around his mouth popping the bubble around him.
Level 1 Instantly pops the bubble around Ryven.
Cooldown: 12/8/6/4
Mana Cost: 0
(Clarification: A sub skill for Bubble Bath it allows the player to trigger the spell whenever they choose. The spell can also be placed on autocast when Bubble Bath reaches its maximum of 5 charges. The reasoning for this skill is in case you are being ganked and you only have 4 charges of Bubble Bath one can press Burst Your Bubble knocking back their opponents to avoid the gank. All charges contain a knockback charge.)
Bubble Blow [e]
The foam around Ryven's mouth blows forward as he exhales covering the ground in bubbles.
Level 1 - Blow 4 bubbles in a cone, 240 Knockback if enemy unit walks into them. Deals 35 damage for each bubble in an AoE. 140 Damage for all 4 bubbles popping.
Level 2 - Blow 5 bubbles in a cone, 240 Knockback if enemy unit walks into them. Deals 35 damage for each bubble in an AoE. 175 Damage for all 5 bubbles popping.
Level 3 - Blow 6 bubbles in a cone, 280 Knockback if enemy unit walks into them. Deals 35 damage for each bubble in an AoE. 210 Damage for all 6 bubbles popping.
Level 4 - Blow 8 bubbles in a cone, 280 Knockback if enemy unit walks into them. Deals 35 damage for each bubble in an AoE. 280 Damage for all 8 bubbles popping.
Cooldown: 18 seconds
Mana Cost: 90/105/120/135
Level 1: Area of effect 225. Casting range 900
Level 2: Area of effect 225. Casting range 1000
Level 3: Area of effect 250. Casting range 1100
Level 4: Area of effect 250. Casting range 1200
(Clarification: Ryven blows X amount of bubbles depending on the level of the spell on the ground at a max distance of 1200 range at level 4 in a cone. The bubbles create a wall that if an enemy unit touches it they get knocked back and take damage, if you can imagine Clockwerks cogs but instead they are bubbles and instead of being around Ryvens body they are blown to wherever you desire within the range limit; also very similar to Dark Seers ultimate, Wall of Replica. The bubbles go away until they are all popped or until they pop on their own after 7 seconds. When they pop on their own they still deal damage if an enemy unit is near and they also knockback.
Bust-a-Move [r]
The foam around Ryven's body reaches its breaking point, propelling Ryven forward at extreme speeds sending all foes in his way flying and jumping for cover.
Level 1 - 100 damage when in contact with the bubble / 280 knockback/ gives maximum movement speed.
Level 2 - 140 damage when in contact with the bubble / 280 knockback/ gives maximum movement speed.
Level 3 - 180 damage when in contact with the bubble / 280 knockback/ gives maximum movement speed.
Level 1: Area of effect 400 lasts 2 seconds. Bubble explodes after the 2 seconds for 100 damage and 300 knockback.
Level 2: Area of effect 400 lasts 3 seconds. Bubble explodes after the 3 seconds for 150 damage and 300 knockback.
Level 3: Area of effect 400 lasts 4 seconds. Bubble explodes after the 4 seconds for 200 damage and 300 knockback.
Cooldown: 200/180/160
Mana Cost: 125/175/250
(Clarification: Different from Bubble Wrap, Ryven becomes invulnerable to melee/range attacks, giving him 9999 armor; however spells still damage and effect him. Ryven then proceeds to charge into all enemies around him knocking them back continuously until the effect wears off. This is not like Omnislash only because you have control of what direction you go in the only thing that changes is that there is a big bubble around you, If you could imagine it is a big bubble like effect kind of like faceless voids chronosphere around Ryven and any enemy unit that touches the bubble take damage and gets knocked back. Enemies can only be affected every second to avoid abuse. It is essentially a turtle bubble bulldozer. After the effect wears off the bubble pops releasing one last wave of damage and a
knockback. )
Strategies and Synergies
+ + = Save up Bubble Bath charges then cast Bubble Blow behind the enemy hero, then cast Burst your Bubble to send the enemy flying into the bubbles behind him knocking him back into you.
+ = Blow a wall of bubbles behind your enemy forcing them to either take the knockback and damage or find a new path. Activate your Bubble Wrap and leave your opponent defenseless and unable to fight back while you attack him.
+ = Blow a wall of bubbles behind your enemy then turn on your ultimate Bust-a-Move and knock him into the bubbles.
+ + = A great escape tactic, save up a Bubble Bath charge and use it if you are about to be ganked, then turn on your Bubble Wrap and make a run for it you will be safe from melee and ranged attacks within 550 AoE for up to 10 seconds at level 4.
Synergies With Other Heroes
Behemoth - Your teammate lays down a fissure blocking one route and you lay down your bubbles with the'Bubble Blow' spell to block the other.
Pebbles - Have Pebbles chuck you into battle and turn your ultimate 'Bust-a-Move' on and watch everyone fly back.
Blood Hunter - When Blood Hunter uses Hemorrhage on someone and that person stays still you can lend him a hand to make that person move.
Nymphora - You can knock the enemy back into her Volitile Pod or prevent your opponent from being able to avoid the heal.
Item Synergies
Steamboots - Increased attack speed for 'Bubble Bath' and some extra strength or intelligence early on.
Brutalizer - Since the knockbacks are not stun the new cranium bashers will be able to work with your hero making a stun knockback combo possible.
Runed Axe - With your passive Bubble Bath attack a plus 35% cleave added on to a possible 200 damage AoE attack would synergize quite nicely.
Eldar Parasite - A 75% increases attack speed buff would synergize with your passive Bubble Bath and also help aid with increased movement speed if you are about to be ganked it would synergize with your other skill Bubble Wrap protecting you from taking any extra damage from the mask of madness debuff.
Assasin Shroud - Turn on your ultimate then quickly press loathers and you have an invisible hero knocking back enemy units. (Sounds like a nice laugh.)
Null Stone - A good way to avoid being stunned while your Bubble Wrap is on or your Ultimate Bust-a-Move.
Shrunken Head - Become immune to magic when you turn on either your Bubble Wrap or your Ultimate which will effectively protect you from both physical and now magical attacks.
Savage Mace - Increase your damage and attack speed for faster Bubble Bath procs and become a more offensive Bubble Turtle.
Daemonic Breastplate - Increase your attack speed dramatically and enjoy your AoE Bubble Bath procs.
Frostfield Plate - Are your opponents getting away from you? Frostfield Plate is a good idea to catch up and knock them around.
Insanitarius - One of my favorite strength items, increase your attack speed, damage, strength, and armor. A great way to compliment your heros attributes and abilities.
Behemoth's Heart - Well your hero is a support TANK and there is no better tanking item then Behemoth's Heart.
Portal Key - I saved the best for last. The enemy team is pushing or the enemy team is defending their last base tower. So you blink with your trusty Portal Key, turn your ultimate on, and you are in business.

The WC3 engine couldn't handle the bubble turtle, let's make him real.
I just updated with a lot of synergies, if you see anything I could add or change please post it. Feel free to give constructive criticism!
What is the reasoning behind the knockback of ranged heroes? Also, would Bubble Wrap© affect spells?
The reasoning for knockback effecting all forms of attack is because the hero is supposed to be a new take on the support tank role, now the only form of a support tank is to either have a heal, stun or slow, what this hero does it create a barrier between your team and the opposing team, which effectively creates a new form of support. He is essentially a wall for your team to hide behind, and when things get dicey he can turn on his ult or use his spells to put even more distance between the opposing team and your team.
No, bubble wrap will not affect spells, his role is to counter melee/range carries not spell casters.
very interesting, very good, but im unable to tell how good he would actually be with such unique powers.
I like it but i think it could be a pain to program.
That is the beauty of having an entirely new engine, things that weren't possible in WC3 can now be possible in HoN. Thanks for the T-UP.
Good news, I happen to have inside source from the art team that someone is making some concept art for your turtle. He leaked this to me...
Nothing to say, just awesome. I love it. I wanna marry it and teach my half-human half-turtle children how to play HoN so they can own with Ryven.
Thanks, I spent a lot of time with him, but I still feel there might be some issues with balance and also I do not think people fully understand exactly what the spells do, so anything concerning that would be great.
I dont know, this is realy unique and orginal, but all that feedback seems abit imbalanced. Basically, melee heroes will have no chance versus the turtle as they would just get hurled back. But then again, why should they attack him in the first place? He has one spell that can be avoided and deals a small amount of damage, so in a lane he would be useless if the enemy just ignored him. This is just speculations, but that's how it looks to me. Although I love the concept, and the knockback is awesome for some fun situations. All in all, I need to see this in action to actually verify it's use, but the idea is without a doubt awesome.
