Title: Bro Professor of Sustainable Regional Development
Office Location: CSE 248
Phone: (715) 682-1261
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Ph.D., Water Resources Science, University of Minnesota
- M.S., Water Resources Science, University of Minnesota
- B.S., Biology, Winona State University
I have spent most of my life on and around the water. I grew up on the Mississippi River in Minnesota (just outside the Twin Cities). As an undergrad, I fell in love with fly-fishing and was lucky enough to find a student research job assessing the health of trout streams in southeastern MN and exploring the backwaters of the Mississippi River. In grad school, my interest in fish turned into a dissertation that focused on the use of fish physiology (e.g., protein production and gene expression) to predict the exposure and effect of chemical contaminants (mostly environmental estrogens) in coastal wetlands throughout the Great Lakes. After grad school, my interest in fish and water quality led to a job teaching at a small college in Washington State where I was able to work on Pacific salmon, watershed and estuary restoration throughout the Olympic peninsula and in coastal Ecuador. Ultimately, the lack of snow and abundance of rain (go figure li! ving adjacent to a rain forest) brought me back to the Midwest, and after two years working as a water resource manager to promote the sustainable use of water resources in MN, I made my way to Northland.
At Northland, my position focuses on integrating student learning (mostly through applied projects) with research and outreach that supports sustainable development and ecosystem management throughout the upper Midwest. I split my time between the natural resources program and Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute teaching courses in ecological restoration, integrated ecosystem management, and stream and watershed ecology and directing our Integrated Ecosystem Science program.
My research is broadly related to the assessment and restoration of aquatic ecosystems. My current research focuses on: (1) assessing the ecological exposure and effect of emerging chemical contaminants (particularly endocrine disrupting chemicals); and (2) the development and implementation of long-term water quality monitoring and ecological modeling programs to support the restoration of lakes, streams and wetlands. Most of my research is collaborative and interdisciplinary and I am currently working on projects that partner with scientists and natural resource professionals form the Chequamegon Bay Area Partnership in northern Wisconsin, University of Florida, University of Minnesota, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Three Rivers Park District and the Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission.
Current Projects
Using cDNA Microarrays to Assess Potential Ecological Impacts of Perfluorinated Chemicals (PFCs) in Select Lakes throughout the Twin Cities Metro Area. Project partners: Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, University of Florida and Three Rivers Park District

Can someone provide a transcription for the name "Kyrylo" - how it will actually sound?
Take the tour

Keer-əl-oh. (ə is the schwa, an attenuated "uh" sound.) | |||
What language is your native? You know that names is specific words, that sounds as it sounds at place where it appeared. So in Ukrainian it sounds like [kirilo] and if you want just transcription а this word you can use Google translator http://translate.google.com.ua/#en|ru|Kyrylo | |||||||||||||
You might think about calling yourself Cyril in English-speaking countries. Quite a few people will find "Kyrylo" strange and hard to pronounce, where Cyril is quite common. (You may not be able to get used to the soft C, of course, in which case just ignore me). | |||||||||

Good Morning!! Welcome to this amazing wednesday, full of potential and opportunity! How are you? I'm doing great! My Fiancee has been an inspiration to me lately (well, she always is , as she has been training for a triathlon with a local shoe company's training clinic, known as The Right Shoe. She's been training 6 days a week, varying from a weight training workout at home, to double workout days running in the AM and swimming in the PM, or swimming in the AM and biking in the PM. She's really been impressing me with her commitment to excellence. You can read more about her story on her blog Tomboythatwearsmakeup.com as she posts regularly on her workouts.
I did have the opportunity to compete in my first ever triathlon in September of 2009, and I've been considering getting back into the tri swing of things, as the Right Shoe clinic is becoming very intriguing to me. For our first triathlon, we did all of the training by ourselves and managed to complete the race in one piece, although I know I could do waaaay better with training from a professional clinic. Here are some pictures from our first ever triathlon.
Recently in her clinic, they had a sports Psychologist from the University of Fraser Valley, Roger Friesen, come in and talk about the psychology behind sport. Roger has worked with numerous elite Olympians, and top of their class athletes over the years. Amanda then shared her new found knowledge with me, and I'd like to share with you what I've learned;
1 You will never know if you can do something or not- unless you try.
2 Do not try to achieve perfection, there is noooo such thing, instead- Strive for Excellence.
3 Always write down your goals- (even have a goal for each workout, whether it is making a certain time, working on form, or just getting through it)
4 Celebrate even the simplest of goals achieved, such as getting outside for that run- even if you don't feel like it (and be truly happy about it! Smile, be excited, CELEBRATE!)
5 Don't let your external environment influence your motivation. Example: If you committed to running outside on Sunday am and it is pouring rain, don't let the rain stop you. It's part of your plan, so do it.
6 Why do you want to achieve your goal?
7 Accountability is crucial. Let friends and family know your plan, so they can celebrate with you and help hold you accountable. (Blogging helps too- I don't know if I would have ever been this pumped up if I wasn't writing and sharing with you every step of the way!)
Just by reading these inspiring words, I think I'm going to go for a run…I crave the sweat : )
Do you have dreams of entering a race, whether it be swimming, biking, running, or all 3?! Do you realize that anyone can do it, including you?! I promise you, it's an amazing feeling to complete any sort of athletic contest. Please share pictures or stories with me, and on my Facebook page! I'm always honoured to hear your feedback!
Thanks for stopping by! I look forward to talking to you soon!

Xuzoka waited for Alia, who arrived around the same time he did. He nodded, and she hit the switch. Within seconds he was transformed into a stream of energy and transferred over to his destination.

R, Juno, and Axl appeared, covered in dirt, dust, and were exhausted. The Reploid at the desk there looked at them in shock, and immediately contact Signas.
"Commander Signas sir, we have 3 Hunters over here that look like they've had a bit of roughing up... One I can identify as Axl, the other two draw a blank for me..." the woman said.
R coughed a bit, and stepped off the Transceiver. Axl sighed, and put his pistol back in it's holster.

"Great Job, Xuzoka! I'll be monitoring the other hunters." Alia chimed in. "Out." Connection closed..
Xuzoka lugged over to the side, panting still. He gained notice from the woman working behind the counter who'd been wtaching him the entire time.
"Do you need to visit the infirmary?" She asked him.
"I'm alright.. But I'll stop by there." He said.
Little did anybody know; He wouldn't be going straight to the infirmary.

"Sir, your coordinates are set." she said. Kazuo nodded, and walked into the Transceiver. After moments, he vanished to an abandoned Research Facility, the [Vacre Research Facility.]

Bane walked through the door to the IT Bay and noticed the Humans there, he had come in roughly a minute after they arrived.
"alright, nothing to fear, i'm Bane Siraneth, Maverick Hunter Rank B..." he began to say, taking a look at the injuries the people had, before continuing "... it is my job to ensure that you reach New Hera hospital in one piece, so if i could have everybody who is able to walk help another who is unable to at the time, we can make it to the Ride Chasers and get you people some medical attention." finishing he speech.
looking out amongst the crowd, Bane saw commrodry unparallelled to his work with the Maverick Hunters, and he thus went forward and helped out by carrying a woman who couldn't move on her own, and then, after everyone was accounted for, started the move towards the Ride Chaser Garage, praying that everyone can make it.

Great value, don't need anything else for your laundry routine Review by Jen
Price Value Quality I've used several cloth diaper safe detergents, but always found myself adding things like vinegar, or RLR to my wash routine as the detergent alone didn't seem to get the diapers clean enough. After some debate, I tried Rockin Green after a friend recommended it and have found it to be fantastic! I have hard water, so their Hard Rock formula has been perfect. I just need a tablespoon or two and our cloth diapers come out smelling clean and fresh - its great! I no longer have a lingering ammonia smell in our diaper pail either - I think the diapers have finally just been cleaned of all the residue that may have been in them. I no longer need to rinse out poopy diapers as much as I used too - they just come out of the wash bright white like the day they arrived. I honestly can't say enough good things about this product - it has made doing cloth diaper laundry a breeze! (Posted on 12/31/10)
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
Best detergent I've used! Review by Rach
Value Quality Price I love this stuff! Cleans messy diapers, gets rid of stains and NO lingering odours. I have hard water and have always had trouble with build up. I haven't had any build up issues with this detergent. And it leaves my diapers soft too. I also use it for my kids regular laundry because of sensitive skin. (Posted on 7/27/11)

Hypothesis testing with one sample
One-tailed and two-tailed tests One-Tailed and Two-Tailed Tests
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- In the last video, our null hypothesis was
- the drug had no effect.
- And our alternative hypothesis was that the
- drug just has an effect.
- We didn't say whether the drug would lower the response time
- or raise the response time.
- We just said the drug had an effect, that the mean when you
- have the drug will not be the same thing as
- the population mean.
- And then the null hypothesis says no, your mean with the
- drug's going to be the same thing as the population mean,
- it has no effect.
- In this situation where we're really just testing to see if
- it had an effect, whether an extreme positive effect, or an
- extreme negative effect, would have both been
- considered an effect.
- We did something called a two-tailed test. This is
- called a two-tailed test. Because frankly, a super high
- response time, if you had a response time that was more
- than 3 standard deviations, that would've also made us
- likely to reject the null hypothesis.
- So we were dealing with kind of both tails.
- You could have done a similar type of hypothesis test with
- the same experiment where you only had a one-tailed test.
- And the way we could have done that is we still could have
- had the null hypothesis be that the drug has no effect.
- Or that the mean with the drug-- the mean, and maybe I
- could say the mean with the drug-- is still going to be
- 1.2 seconds, our mean response time.
- Now if we wanted to do a one-tailed test, but for some
- reason we already had maybe a view that this drug would
- lower response times, then our alternative hypothesis-- and
- just so you get familiar with different types of notation,
- some books or teachers will write the alternative
- hypothesis as H1, sometimes they write it as H
- alternative, either one is fine.
- If you want to do one-tailed test, you could say that the
- drug lowers response time.
- Or that the mean with the drug is less than 1.2 seconds.
- Now if you do a one-tailed test like this, what we're
- thinking about is, what we want to look at is, all right,
- we have our sampling distribution.
- Actually, I can just use the drawing that I had up here.
- You had your sampling distribution
- of the sample mean.
- We know what the mean of that was, it's 1.2 seconds, same as
- the population mean.
- We were able to estimate its standard deviation using our
- sample standard deviation, and that was reasonable because it
- had a sample size of greater than 30, so we can still kind
- of deal with a normal distribution for the sampling
- distribution.
- And using that we saw that the result, the sample mean that
- we got, the 1.05 seconds, is 3 standard
- deviations below the mean.
- So if we look at it-- let me just re-draw it with our new
- hypothesis test. So this is the sampling distribution.
- It has a mean right over here at 1.2 seconds.
- And the result we got was 3 standard
- deviations below the mean.
- 1, 2, 3 standard deviations below the mean.
- That was what our 1.05 seconds were.
- So when you set it up like this where you're not just
- saying that the drug has an effect-- in that case, and
- that was the last view, you'd look at both tails.
- But here we're saying we only care is does the drug lower
- our response time?
- And just like we did before, you say OK, let's say the drug
- doesn't lower our response time.
- If the drug doesn't lower our response time, what was the
- probability or what is the probability of getting a
- lowering this extreme or more extreme?
- So here it will only be one of the tails that we could
- consider when we set our alternative hypothesis like
- that, that we think it lowers.
- So if our null hypothesis is true, the probability of
- getting a result more extreme than 1.05 seconds, now we are
- only considering this tail right over here.
- Let me just put it this way.
- More extreme than 1.05 seconds, or let me say, lower.
- Because in the last video we cared about more extreme
- because even a really high result would have said, OK,
- the mean's definitely not 1.2 seconds.
- But in this case we care about means that are lower.
- So now we care about the probability of a result lower
- than 1.05 seconds.
- That's the same thing as sampling-- of getting a sample
- from the sampling distribution that's more than 3 standard
- deviations below the mean.
- And in this case, we're only going to consider the area in
- this one tail.
- So this right here would be a one-tailed test where we only
- care about one direction below the mean.
- If you look at the one-tailed test-- this area over here--
- we saw last time that both of these areas combined are 0.3%.
- But if you're only considering one of these areas, if you're
- only considering this one over here it's going to be half of
- that, because the normal distribution is symmetric.
- So it's going to the 0.13%.
- So this one right here is going to be 0.15%, or if you
- express it as a decimal, this is going to be 0.0015.
- So once again, if you set up your hypotheses like this, you
- would have said, if your null hypothesis is correct, there
- would have only been a 0.15% chance of getting a result
- lower than the result we got.
- So that would be very unlikely, so we will reject
- the null hypothesis and go with the alternative.
- And in this situation your P-value is
- going to be the 0.0015.

Dianne Bland shows off her crocheted afghan. (Clarence Tabb Jr. / The Detroit News)
Two toothpicks, a spool of thread and a little green book is all it took for a young Dianne Bland to get hooked on needle arts.
�I use to go to the five and dime with my mother where there was a little green book on how to knit and crochet,� recalls Bland, who used her weekly allowance to purchase the book.
�My mother saw that I was interested, so when we went the next week, she bought me yarn and needles.� After teaching herself to knit, it was only a matter of time before the determined youngster got hooked on crocheting, as well.
Now, as an experienced knitter and crocheter, the Southfield resident says, �Knitting and crocheting are a place I can go if I don�t want to talk to anybody; and being a senior, it helps with that brain thing.�
And as a strong believer of sharing one�s abilities, Bland teaches knitting at City Knits in Harrison Township. Her classes range from beginner to a more advanced level for people wanting to learn Fair Isle and Intarsia.
However, there was once a time when her creative skills reached beyond needle arts into the world of performing arts when she taught classical ballet for more than 30 years in Detroit, and spent 10 years choreographing for Motown�s Spinners. She�s also instructed members of the Harlem Globetrotters and Detroit Lions on exercise routines to help improve their game.
Here�s Bland�s original pattern for a �quick-to-knit, cover-up� which she says �makes a great gift for the college student or everyday use.�

I've just come back from a Body Shop 'home' party. And whilst i had a good time it really doesn't sit well, for me at least, for a representative - the host - to preach about The Body Shops 'ethics', yes, it's great TBS don't test on animals but you don't like to mention being owned by L'oreal & Preaching that more customers need to be aware of where your cosmetics are coming from, how 'green' they are and most importantly stating that THEY are the reason for animal testing being banned in Europe - Yeah because that's true ….
I can say one thing, i will never be more grateful for the information and awareness i have now have thanks to LUSH. A couple of years ago i didn't really care or seek out information on where my cosmetics came from, companies stance on animal testing, who companies are owned by and do they test on animals or even how 'ethical' a company is. 90% of all products i use being cruelty free - bath, hair and body, and whilst the other 10% of products i use (being my make-up) which aren't so bunny friendly. I do aim to replace my make-up with something better and animal friendly but at least i am informed consumer.
It saddens me to think how much of my love for Lush has gone. It didn't really occur to me how much so until pointed out to me yesterday, when my sister said something negative about Lush and i didn't even try to argue against it, i actually agree and have done for some time. Some people might think it's sad that i care so much for a 'cosmetics' company, but it's more than to me (or at least used to be) and is for so many others.
It's saddening that most lush SA's are so passionate about the company and have so much faith in its products when the people at the very top care so little for its customers, often belittling/insulting them and turning a blind eye to many many problems that they refuse to fix. But you know what, i can't keep spending money on bubble bars that are rock solid, that if you threw at someone could do some damage. It's pretty shocking. 'nd lets not talk about scent issues.
I'm not saying i won't be buying from them anymore, i'm just buying a lot less as it's not the same company i fell in love with a few years ago. I want to love lush but right now i'm just not feelin' it.
For anyones that interested this makes for a good read on Lush's "ethics". There are a few posts and are well worth the read.
It's ridiculous how happy this perfume has made me today :) It's scented to smell of a Lush store! 😍❤
I only went to pick up a few items for mine and my sisters pamper day next week & came out with a bit more :') The SA was lovely and gave me AOBS, Aquatic toothy tabs and a chunk of Trichomania free ❤

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.-- Action News has learned a now retired EMT with JFRD worked without state certification for two years.
In December, JFRD says EMT Antonio Porter told them the state hadn't received his information. JFRD says Porter passed the required test. Now they're working with the state to find out why the state wasn't aware.
JFRD is also looking into whether any repayments back to insurance companies need to be made.

I loved the Casino, slot machines were paying fairly. My friends did great at the poker tables. Clean, elegant. Cafe food was great. Hotel rooms a bit expensive for my taste. You do get discounts after being a member. Good drink service.
I loved the Casino, slot machines were paying fairly. My friends did great at the poker tables. Clean, elegant. Cafe food was great. Hotel rooms a bit expensive for my taste. You do get discounts after being a member. Good drink service.
Was fortunate to stay one night at the L'Auberge du Lac Casino in Lake Charles, La. The room couldn't have been finer with a big view from my window. The buffet downstairs was quite a feast. Nothing like the steam tables in Las Vegas. All the food was fresh, delicious with so many choices. I got the privilege of playing... More
Our first visit at the L'Auberge and we had a great time. Ample machines, all working, and a very enjoyable experience.
The resort is very nice, the rooms are beautiful. The casino slot machines seem very stingy. The shops are interesting, but overpriced. The buffet is very good.
I went to the Asian Restaurant in L'Auberge du Lac Casino for dinner Thursday night. It was a great meal!! I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere very much.
Valet service, great bellman service, easy check in. Super nice (new) rooms. Everything super clean. Elevator service fast and all the staff were very friendly. Great slots of all kind. I even won this time. Just an overall great weekend.
I have fun wasting my money on slot play. L'Auberge offers a lot of different machines and some even pay a bit! The casino is nice, large, and has free drinks for patrons. Sometimes it's a bit cool and, as is usual with casinos, smoking is permitted. There is a reasonable ventilation system that seems to manage most smoke, unless... More
I liked this casino, the air quality was really good, despite the fact there are chain smoker every where. You won't smell like an ashtray when you leave.
I absolutely loved this casino, It is very beautiful. It has alot of gaming machine's, If you like to gamble please try out this casino.
This casino is the nicest one in Lake Charles. Love the lazy river in the pool area. The restaurants always have quality food. Buffet is too die for!!

Exactly the opposite -- -- are able to GOP is in disarray I think that's fair to say.
They missed opportunity to not raise tax rates now prisoner -- -- is ready to fall off the cliff to bring in more money for the government joining us now is Doug Schoen.
-- the first question -- ask you directly because you hear a lot of this off the cliff stuff specifically.
What would happen what would happen to the private sector what would happen to the government if we go off -- the fiscal cliff.
-- well it's anyone's guess but I think we're gonna see.
Economic activity slowed down David I think we're gonna see with a -- On all of us that people contract.
There are economic activity and given the CBO estimated if we go into a recession I think it'll be cataclysmic to the American economy.
And and specifically with the government we heard a lot I remember during that the Clinton years wind we have that that debt ceiling thing that we went off of and that.
Big government shut that what we see a shot down in certain government agencies if we go off the cliff.
I'm not sure we're gonna see shut down -- we -- certainly good to see.
A lot less economic activity particularly in the military sector I think defense procurement will ground to a halt and that will have again and impact.
On the economy and it'll be deleterious -- Now let's talk about the politics of some of this.
-- Nancy Pelosi -- I very rarely agree with Nancy Pelosi Doug as you well know.
But she says something that she -- -- that I kind of agree which was talking about the republic she was defending her comment.
Last may that taxes should only go up on people earning a million dollars she's come down out of the president's level of 40000.
But she said she counterattack -- she often does she said Republicans.
Have already become a little bit pregnant.
On their tax pledge that they're never going to ever raise tax rates.
And I would have to agree with -- once once Boehner went off his cliff if you will on his pledge not to raise tax rates believing it's you just suggested that if you raise tax rates you're probably the slowdown in economic growth once they went off that cliff.
Katy bar the door what do you think.
Well I I agree with both you and Nancy Pelosi that bottom line.
The Republicans.
Fell into Obama's -- They went for a tax increase David -- what they didn't do was outline a strategy for economic growth for -- job creation for stimulating the economy.
Bottom line Obama's talking redistribution.
The Republicans are just getting parry -- and thrusted by a president who has -- -- a political candidate Doug.
I when you say the Republicans think about with a plan to stimulate the kind of growth Republicans don't believe the government spending does stimulate the -- -- just heard that it certainly hasn't stimulated wind power so they what do you mean when you say Republicans should have come out what kind of plan could they have from our very simple no would have stimulated the economy.
-- David what you've been talking about for years which is a strategy using the tax system.
To stimulate economic activity through a series of lower tax initiatives.
That would offer the prospect for growth are like Jack Kemp.
Right so tax cuts stimulating kind of tax rate cuts tax rate cuts -- -- tax pregnant right.
But he appears no strategy who lives -- -- -- -- but keeping the -- rates for the middle class that -- the middle class at the GOP victory there.
And -- of the got financing pleasant getting a literary like her heavenly pregnant what is she talking about.
I mean what you would be GOP's fearful love that this giving -- -- -- pregnant as she says with their tax rate.
Being lowered -- -- defeat giving birth to an electoral defeat if they go along with these tax hikes.
That the White House wants and I -- I gotta take -- we have still a debt ceiling fight coming -- us in March.
Is it GOP right to stand their credits say no tax hikes we want to help everybody.
And we are not -- -- exchange these poker chips for.
In the debt ceiling fight saying hey we're gonna get in -- -- from new White House this is about the little guy on the street and all tax bracket.
You know the world is that the Republicans had as coherent -- position as you do.
Bottom line take three Republicans you get for positions.
Bottom line there's no Republican strategy on anything either on taxes and spending entitlement reform and certainly not the debt ceiling.
Which is why David was right when he began his comments by saying that the Republicans are in bad shape.
And bottom line is a matter of politics the Republicans are losing more important the American people are losing even more.
Doug Adam Shapiro an -- -- but a conspiracy fears we believe that the president does wanna go over the fiscal cliff and and for one particular reason.
You look at the spending that has taken place during his administration you have talked about this we had initially had and we went from 2008 to 2009 we saw this big jump.
In spending because of the stimulus plan that was an 800 billion dollar plan.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Then just taxing the rich can bring in that's why he might wanna go over the fiscal cliff what do you think.
Well I I certainly don't think he's gonna be crying.
Crocodile tears if we go over.
Bottom line I think it's even more based politics favorite I think he thinks he wins the fight.
If we go over the -- -- the Republicans are blamed in the and the Republicans will do business on his terms so you -- you anatomy may well be right.
But bottom line nobody is putting the country first he nor the Republicans has advocated a centrist.
Program that like Bowles Simpson that we can all agree on.
I wasn't I was getting down to their level Doug has been inside the beltway -- sites like he knows how they think Doug thank you very much -- showing David thank you happy holidays to all happy holidays -- you too thanks very much.

Tom Freeman |
Guest speakers will be Tom and Joe Freeman. Tom will sing his song, "The Isle of Boca Grande," and his father, Joe Freeman Jr., will reminisce about life as the port agent for Seaboard Coast Line Railroad.
Joe Freeman arrived on Gasparilla Island in November of 1951. He was to be the stenography clerk for Mr. D.D. Chastain, then port agent for Seaboard Air Line Railroad Company, which owned the phosphate dock. He would later become the last Port Agent for Port Boca Grande, a position he held for ten years.
His son, Tom, was born and grew up on the island. When he was five years old, his parents bought an organ for his mother to play. He soon got his mother's permission to practice on the instrument. He was a natural, learning quickly and performing for friends and family. Today, his song "The Isle of Boca Grande" is a local hit, playing on musictampabay.com at the top of the charts. In it, he reminisces about his island childhood.
History Bytes will be at a new location this year, First Baptist Church of Boca Grande, in the D.L. Moody Fellowship Hall.

Nicole thanks as always we'll sticking with -- one final act from the House of Representatives before leaving for recess.
Seems to -- scaling back of the Obama administration's energy regulations for that we -- -- -- -- -- yeah well laureates called these stop the war on coal act or any coal miner employment and domestic energy act the white house calls it something that will.
Destroy environmental safeguards the house debates this bill this evening it would prevent the administration.
From issuing new regulations that would harm coal mining jobs and prohibit the EPA.
From using the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gases Republicans say just the volume and the impact of government regulations.
Choking the economy.
We want to put people back to work we have tic -- that red tape.
That is strangling.
Our job creators.
And they point to the EPA alone more than 101000.
Rules on the books more than 18100 on coal alone.
And about 370.
Proposed in just the past three months -- the White House response to this they say it.
Packages together a number of harmful measures that would undermine landmark environmental laws.
And adversely affect public health the economy and the environment.
Now if this passes congress the administration basically says president's going to Vito it.

Maths and Science Summer School kicks off today
Showing the exciting world of maths and science, and highlighting the opportunities for females in traditionally male-dominated fields are the aims of the inaugural Year 9 Girls Summer School at the University of Newcastle.
One hundred and eighty girls from around 60 schools across NSW, some from as far away as Broken Hill, Wagga Wagga and Norfolk Island, will spend the next five days immersed in the worlds of maths, science and technology.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic), Professor Kevin McConkey, said the (Yr9) GIRLS + MATHS + SCIENCE = CHOICES SUMMER SCHOOL aimed to develop girls' confidence in their abilities.
"The Summer School takes a dynamic and unique approach to opening up the world of scientific thinking through creative problem solving," Professor McConkey said.
"The activities we have planned revolve around science, maths and engineering themes. We aim to help young girls realise the pathways to exciting and interesting careers in the innovative technical professions."
Across the five days of the summer school the girls will hear about the wonders of space science, get hands-on experience in multimedia including podcasting, take a closer look at artificial intelligence, and compete in the science arena.
They will hear from young females working as architects, mechanical and chemical engineers, construction managers and physicists. They will also go on field trips to local industries and have fun at the movies and the beach.
Professor McConkey said the number and range of applications for the Summer School was impressive.
"We had around 350 applications for the 180 places available to students who have the ability but may not have the opportunity to experience such an event. For some it is their first visit to a university and their first visit to the Hunter."
Photo opportunities are available across the week, including:
- Monday 10 December at 1.45pm in the McMullin Theatre - The Archie Girder Show. Students will see straws pushed through raw potatoes and watch an egg not crack under pressure as they look at the strength of different structures.
- Wednesday 12 December at 11am in the Life Sciences Theatre - Robotics. Students will learn about artificial intelligence and robotics by manipulating and controlling demonstration robots.
- Friday 14 December at 9.45am at The Forum Sports and Aquatic Centre. Students will compete in the Final of the Science and Engineering Mini-Challenge.
Professor Kevin McConkey is available for interview via contacting Blythe Hamilton.

It is really sad that our government will take from the people who really serve our state (state workers) because they claim the state doesn't have any money but wants to give themselves a hugh incentive. I think this is criminal and should be investigated. The people of the State of Michigan should have a right to vote on this insentive not just legislatures. Where is this money coming from? If the State is so broke no one should get anything!!!! Whatever happened to the Constitution of the United States (that states for the people) when legislators can make any law or statue to satisfy their own needs. That is not in the best interest of the people. Why has the media not reported on this issue?
Looks like some people see the handwriting on the wall for November and are sweetening their going away vigorish. Hopefully we can get rid of them before they can pass this bill. If the bill passes, we should show the door to all who voted for it.

North Korea rocket preparations might be a bluff
SEOUL (AP) - Rocket sections are apparently being trucked into North Korea's northwest launch site, but some analysts are asking whether it's just a calculated bluff meant to jangle the Obama administration and influence South Korean voters ahead of presidential elections in three weeks.
There are questions about whether North Korean scientists have corrected whatever caused the embarrassing crack up of its last rocket shortly after liftoff in April, and whether Pyongyang is willing to risk another failure - along with United Nations condemnation and more sanctions.
"It's possible, of course, that Pyongyang knows its preparations will be seen and discussed in the West, and they are intended to be a signal rather than signs of an imminent launch," Mr David Wright, a physicist with the Union of Concerned Scientists, wrote on the organisation's website this week.
"Preparing for a launch less than a year after a failure calls into question whether the North could have analysed and fixed whatever went wrong."

I added rice about an hour ago, and ate it just now.
Holy ****, I've never had a steak that tender. The rice was perfect.
I'm hooked. If you all want good, easy food, get a slow cooker.

Just about everyone from the South knows about cheese straws. My Mississippi Mother-in-Law would serve these little cheese sticks when she had her lady friends over for tea or to visit. They are great to serve at parties. Cheese straws make great snacks and are good with a dip. They keep well in an airtight container in the fridge. I like them as a snack during the day when I get hungry! Children love them and they are fun to make.
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded and at room temperature 8 tablespoons butter or margarine or 1 stick, softened 1/2 teaspoon salt Pinch of cayenne 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted (Put seeds on baking sheet and toast in 325 degree oven about 10 minutes until brown) Combine all ingredients and keep mixing until you can form a ball. (I do this with my hands. It's kind of like making sausage balls. You have to work the butter and cheese into the flour). Roll out dough as thin as possible and cut strips 4 inches long by 1/2 inch wide. Bake on ungreased baking sheet in preheated 400 degree oven for 15 minutes until brown. Can turn during baking. Makes about five dozen cheese sticks. Enjoy!

Hofstra and Claflin Universities Agree to Exchange Faculty This Spring
First step in establishing ties with historically black institution
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY – Hofstra and Claflin Universities have agreed to exchange faculty for the coming spring semester as part of an ongoing program to establish closer ties between the two institutions, Hofstra Provost Herman Berliner announced today.Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz signed the agreement earlier this year with Henry N. Tisdale, president of Claflin, a South Carolina university founded to educate freed slaves. Dr. Daniel Sciarra, the chair of Hofstra's Department of Counseling, Research, Special Education and Rehabilitation in the School of Education and Allied Human Services, will teach at Claflin for the spring semester. Annette Grevious, an assistant professor of speech and drama at Claflin, will teach at Hofstra during the same period.
"As part of our ongoing initiative to enhance campus diversity, we welcome the opportunity to establish closer ties with Claflin University, a noted historically black institution," said Dr. Berliner, noting that the plan is for the faculty exchange to continue each spring semester. "By sending a highly accomplished Hofstra faculty member to Claflin for a semester and having a highly accomplished faculty member from Claflin come here, we are able to introduce new ideas and build on the strengths of both Universities"
Dr. Sciarra is a tenured associate professor as well as a licensed psychologist and a licensed mental health counselor. He has extensive multicultural experience and also an extensive record of teaching and scholarship. Prof. Grevious has an MFA from the University of Louisville and has extensive teaching experience at all levels. At Claflin, she teaches introduction to theatre, fundamentals of acting, voice and diction as well as modern drama and public speaking. She also has extensive performance, directing and technical experience.
Located in Orangeburg, South Carolina, 75 miles west of Charleston, Claflin University is an independent, liberal arts, co-educational university affiliated with the United Methodist Church.
Claflin was founded in 1869 by Methodist missionaries "to prepare freed slaves to take their rightful places as full American citizens," according to the University, which takes its name from two Methodist churchmen, Massachusetts Governor William Claflin and his father, Boston philanthropist Lee Claflin, who provided a large part of the funds to purchase the campus.
Claflin has a total student enrollment of about 1,800, drawn from 45 South Carolina counties, 24 states and 18 countries. Like Hofstra, Claflin offers a 14:1 student-teacher ratio.
Hofstra University is a dynamic private institution where students find their edge to succeed in more than 140 undergraduate and 150 graduate programs in liberal arts and sciences, business, communication, education and allied human services, and honors studies, as well as a School of Law. Our professors teach small classes averaging 25 students that emphasize interaction, critical thinking and analysis. Hofstra offers a faculty whose highest priority is teaching excellence, cutting edge technology, extensive library resources, internships and special educational programs that appeal to their interests and abilities. The Hofstra community is driven, dynamic and energetic, helping students find and focus their strengths to prepare them for a successful future.

For those about to rock.
One of the main reasons for the Little Mark's incredible international success has been its versatile sound, which makes the bass amp head suitable for any style of music! But since it's so often the choice of Rock bass players, MarkBass decided to make a more aggressive version, adding custom-designed tube-drive circuitry to the bass head for a wide range of onboard overdrive and distortion sounds.

The barber -- -- -- -- -- years right now.
The way when no one here.
She's still think there's no good news out there well this might give you some much needed inspiration and lift venture capital Chris Redlands.
He's working with these prisoners and prisoners he's teaching career skills to survive on -- outside.
And standing outside when there are released so few do you know Chris says it's good for society it's good for taxpayers and other haven't been good for the -- -- And it will save a lot of money maybe billions.
He's us right now -- I read about this saw a little bit -- this I thought.
My goodness I mean if you can just reverse the nine -- -- ten who invariably return to the slammer after getting released from the slammer.
It's it's it's everyone's benefit but what are you doing and how are you don't.
Well we're working with a select group of men and teaching them fundamental business skills.
That will prepare themselves for.
Life after they're released.
So we go through a curriculum that teaches them about technology about business.
And really about being an opt -- -- And that can either lead to them starting their own business or being confident about working with endings in existing business.
How do you select -- I don't know -- personal or does it but -- selective prisoners with whom you're going to work and -- -- -- educated.
We go -- -- pretty rigorous process.
All the men in the program have been through a variety of programs within San Quentin which is where we currently have the program.
They're also either enrolled -- of graduated through -- university which is a two year.
College program.
We go through several.
Written exercise and then the candidates are also approved by the prison in ministry -- Who funds hold -- Right now it's funded by us we we are sort of committed to make this happen.
It's currently in San Quentin.
But our goal is to take this to a variety of other jurisdictions.
Within California and outside California bird right now we're finding it ourselves why are you doing -- for its.
Well in a few reasons you know I was really struck by the the economics the cost of incarceration certainly within California with our country and -- and frankly before -- got involved that was not really that.
Well versed in what the challenges are but when you think about.
The cost him and incarceration -- an individual on an annual basis is 50000 dollars a year.
I think you mentioned before the recidivism rates are upwards of sixty plus percent so.
You know it's it's not as a system that's not necessarily working for rehabilitation.
And we really felt there is something we could do.
What we do -- our day jobs really is you know we're venture capitalists we also have accelerator December Cisco -- -- work with.
Expiring ought to new orders.
So the thought was could we actually take what we do every day.
In our business and translate that into prison and sort of -- create bad and it was an experiment that certainly has worked its resonated inside with the business community.
With potential employers.
So it's really been pretty incredible for us.
Most incredible lot of folks who did confirms -- aren't we dollars and go to and and it's it's up to guys like you.
With the generosity and -- -- to help bring it out and and -- those sort of resources.
Concedes success of this -- great great.
Great then you're -- thank you.

Andrew Sullivan writes, "In their new book, The Chemistry Between Us: Love, Sex and the Science of Attraction, Larry Young and Brian Alexander imagine the personal ads of the future. Lisa Miller summarizes:
"Evolutionarily, women bond to nurture and men bond to protect. The hormone that activates the protect-and-guard impulse (the bonding impulse) in men is called vasopressin. A variant in a gene called RS3 AVPRIA reduces men's receptivity to vasopressin. According to a Swedish study, the married men with this gene variation were likelier to have experienced a marital crisis in the past year, likelier to have talked about divorce than those without the variant. They were also likelier, overall, to be unmarried. "If you want a guy that's bonded to you tightly, you want to make sure you've got a guy with the right variance," says Alexander in a phone call.
"In the last chapter of the book, the authors imagine a world in which online personals contain genetic information as well as physical details and professional status. "In addition to bundling the familiar 'tall, professional, SWM' in personal ads, why wouldn't men proclaim 'AVPRIA RS3 neg.' as yet another selling point? Men and women routinely demand body types in their personals. Why not toss in genetic types?""
This is information that would truly matter in the long run. I think I've known way too many RS3 AVPRIA positives.

Mars rover
A Mars rover is an automated motor vehicle which propels itself across the surface of the planet Mars upon arrival.
Rovers have several advantages over stationary landers: they examine more territory, they can be directed to interesting features, they can place themselves in sunny positions to weather winter months and they can advance the knowledge of how to perform very remote robotic vehicle control.
There have been four successful robotically operated Mars rovers. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory managed the Mars Pathfinder mission and its now inactive Sojourner rover. It currently manages the Mars Exploration Rover mission's active Opportunity rover and inactive Spirit, and, as part of the Mars Science Laboratory mission, the Curiosity rover.
Image map of Mars landings[edit]
The following imagemap of the planet Mars has embedded links to geographical features in addition to the noted Rover and Lander locations. Click on the features and you will be taken to the corresponding article pages. North is at the top; Elevations: red (higher), yellow (zero), blue (low).
Rover synopsis[edit]
Several rovers have been sent to Mars:
- Mars 2, Prop-M rover, 1971, Mars 2 landing failed taking Prop-M with it. The Mars 2 and 3 spacecraft from the USSR had identical 4.5 kg Prop-M rovers. They were to move on skis while connected to the landers with cables.[1]
- Mars 3, Prop-M rover, 1971, lost when Mars 3 lander stopped communicating about 20 seconds after landing.[1]
- Sojourner rover, Mars Pathfinder, landed successfully on July 4, 1997. Communications were lost on September 27, 1997.
- Beagle 2, Planetary Undersurface Tool, lost with Beagle 2 on deployment from Mars Express in 2003.[2] A compressed spring mechanism was designed to allow movement across the surface at a rate of 1 cm per 5 seconds[2] and to burrow into the ground and collect a subsurface sample in a cavity in its tip.
- Spirit (MER-A), Mars Exploration Rover, launched on June 10, 2003 at 13:58:47 EDT[3] and landed successfully on January 4, 2004. Nearly 6 years after the original mission limit, Spirit had covered a total distance of 7.73 km (4.80 mi) but its wheels became trapped in sand.[4] Around January 26, 2010, NASA conceded defeat in its efforts to free the rover and stated that it would now function as a stationary science platform.[5] The last communication received from the rover was on March 22, 2010, and NASA ceased attempts to re-establish communication on May 25, 2011.[6]
- Opportunity (MER-B), Mars Exploration Rover, launched on July 7, 2003 at 23:18:15 EDT[3] and landed successfully on January 25, 2004. Opportunity was still operating as of 2013, having surpassed the previous record for longevity of a surface mission to Mars on May 20, 2010.[7][8] Opportunity is still going.
- Curiosity, Mars Science Laboratory, by NASA, was launched November 26, 2011 at 10:02 EST[9][10] and landed in the Aeolis Palus plain near Aeolis Mons (informally "Mount Sharp")[11][12][13][14] in Gale Crater on August 6, 2012, 05:31 UTC.[15][16][17] Curiosity Rover is still going.
Rover concepts[edit]
Mars rovers in development include:
One experimental design, not proposed for any actual mission, is:
- Mars Tumbleweed Rover, a wind-propelled rover.[19]
NASA rover goals[edit]
NASA distinguishes between "mission" objectives and "science" objectives. Mission objectives are related to progress in space technology and development processes. Science objectives are met by the instruments during their mission in space.
The details of rover science vary according to equipment carried. The primary goal of the Spirit and Opportunity rovers is to discover "the history of water on Mars".[20] (The presence of usable water would greatly reduce manned mission cost.)
The four science goals of NASA's long-term Mars Exploration Program are:
- Determine whether life ever arose on Mars
- Characterize the climate of Mars
- Characterize the geology of Mars
- Prepare for human exploration[21]

I'm starting a small business and I'm concerned about personal liability. I like the idea of a corporation providing some protection, but I'm uncomfortable with the notion that the corporate veil could be pierced if the corporation looks like a shell.
Wikipedia lists a number of common reasons why a judge may pierce the corporate veil. Some of the notable ones listed in the United States section:
- Absence or inaccuracy of corporate records;
- Failure to observe corporate formalities in terms of behavior and documentation;
- Intermingling of assets of the corporation and of the shareholder;
- Significant undercapitalization of the business
- Siphoning of corporate funds by the dominant shareholder(s);
- Treatment by an individual of the assets of corporation as his/her own;
- Was the corporation being used as a "façade" for dominant shareholder(s) personal dealings;
It seems that many of these could easily be proven true for many small businesses operated by one owner or a perhaps a couple.
Speaking strictly in terms of liability, does an S-Corp provide me with any practical protection that I can't get with a liability insurance policy?
