What's Facebook's Secret? Company Tells All on Tuesday
Facebook's mystery "press event" on Tuesday could reveal a more robust search feature that would intensify the competition between the social networking giant and its rival Google Inc.
Facebook is holding the event at 10 a.m. (1 p.m. EST) at its Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters. The company has not said what it plans to announce. Last week, it invited bloggers and journalists to "come see what we're building."
The company probably won't be showing off a new office building -unless it decided to make its invitation very literal.
It's also unlikely to be unveiling a much-rumored "Facebook phone" -unless CEO Mark Zuckerberg has changed his mind recently. Last fall, as he'd done on numerous occasions, he publicly shot down speculation that Facebook was building its own smartphone.
"It is so clearly the wrong strategy for us," Zuckerberg said at a September technology conference in his first public interview after Facebook's May initial public offering. "It doesn't move the needle for us."

Nothing Like It in the World: The Men Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad 1863-1869by Stephen E Ambrose
Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
Abraham Lincoln, prior to being elected president and at the time working as a railway lawyer, met future Civil War hero General Grenville Dodge, in Council Bluffs, Iowa in 1859. According to historian Stephen Ambrose, Lincoln's first words were "Dodge, what's the best route for a Pacific railroad to the West?" Lincoln went on to become president, with the building of the transcontinental railroad second to the abolition of slavery on his agenda. Dodge became the chief engineer of Union Pacific, one of the two railway companies (the other being Central Pacific) to create a railroad that spanned 2,000 miles of American soil. In addition to its being one of the most remarkable feats of engineering in the nineteenth century, the railroad represented massive economic risks for the investors of this extraordinary project, and imminent danger for its laborers. UP and CP were pitted against each other in a Congress-mandated race whose winner received the greater share of land and government bonds, while immigrants from China and Ireland, as well as ex-soldiers from both the Union and the Confederacy, toiled under backbreaking working conditions.
Stephen Ambrose records the history of this incredible project, with attention to both the financial and bureaucratic wheeling and dealings, as well as the blood, sweat, and ? frequently enough ? lives lost by the men who laid the tracks. Renowned for his masculine prose and his skill at weaving firsthand accounts into compelling narrative, Ambrose presents an assured and well researched record of this milestone in American history. Kate, Powells.com
Publisher Comments:
andlt;iandgt;Nothing Like It in the Worldandlt;/iandgt; gives the account of an unprecedented feat of engineering, vision, and courage. It is the story of the men who built the transcontinental railroadand#8212;the investors who risked their businesses and money; the enlightened politicians who understood its importance; the engineers and surveyors who risked, and sometimes lost, their lives; and the Irish and Chinese immigrants, the defeated Confederate soldiers, and the other laborers who did the backbreaking and dangerous work on the tracks.andlt;BRandgt;andlt;BRandgt;The U.S. government pitted two companiesand#8212;the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific Railroadsand#8212;against each other in a race for funding, encouraging speed over caution. Locomotives, rails, and spikes were shipped from the East through Panama or around South America to the West or lugged across the country to the Plains. In Ambrose's hands, this enterprise, with its huge expenditure of brainpower, muscle, and sweat, comes vibrantly to life.
"To critics who charge that the railroad magnates were corrupt and grew obscenely rich and powerful through land grants and government bonds, Ambrose replies that the land grants never brought in enough money to pay the bills and, further, that the bonds were loans, fully paid back with huge interest payments. But this argument fails to convince, partly because Ambrose does a superlative job of re-creating the grim conditions in which the tracks were laid." Publishers Weekly
"Relying on newspaper reportage, he presents the project through the eyes of the men working for the Union Pacific and Central Pacific and marvels at the blasting, gouging, grading, hauling, and more that transpire as the rival railroads punched through mountains, straddled gorges, and strode across the Plains in the race to link the continent....his hands every sledgehammer blow hits hard and every blast echoes." Library Journal
"This muscular yet flowing telling of the railroad's physical construction, will be a sure winner with the author's legions of readers." Gilbert Taylor, Booklist
"It is when the human drama of the actual construction of the railroad begins that Ambrose's narrative picks up speed. Although not many first hand accounts exist from railroad workers, what material he does have is woven skillfully into the whole to create a picture of various ethnic groups working together (and frequently warring with each other as well).A master historian and writer takes on another pivotal epoch in American history." Kirkus Reviews

This example shows the use of SimHydraulics® to simulate a three-tank fuel supply system where side tanks periodically change elevations during the simulation cycle.
The fuel supply system represented in the example consists of three tanks and an engine. The engine is fed from the central tank, while fuel from the LW tank and the RW tank is pumped to the central tank with respective pumping stations. Each pumping station consists of two centrifugal pumps, connected in parallel, with check valves installed in the pump outlets to prevent back flow. The pumps are driven by prime movers at angular velocity of 120 Hz. The movers are simulated with the ideal angular velocity source.
The central tank bottom is elevated by 36 in with respect to the reference plane, which is drawn horizontally through the entry point of the engine. The side tank bottoms are elevated by 4.2 in each.
The LW and the RW tanks are equipped with the volume control block intended to cut the outlet off if fluid volume in the tank becomes less than preset volume. A similar block in the central tank controls both the tank overfill and the exposure of its highest port. In all tanks, the cutoff is performed with the 2-way valves.
The example simulates the 3000 second cycle, during which each side tank periodically changes its elevation by 28 in both upward and downward. The vertical position of the central tank is assumed to remain the same during the cycle.

Yorkshire submits its formal bid to host 2016 Tour de France Grand Départ
Tourism agency also launches Back Le Bid webpage to allow public to express their support
Previous News
Next News
Yorkshire tourism chiefs have confirmed that they have submitted a formal bid to Tour de France organisers ASO to bring the Grand Départ of the 2016 race to the North of England, reports BBC News. A dedicated page, Back Le Bid, has also been set up on the Yorkshire.com website to allow the public to pledge their support.
Since the first Grand Départ outside France which took place in Amsterdam in 1954, the race has got under way abroad on 17 further occasions, and nowadays tends to do so every two or three years. Among other potential candidates to host the start of the 2016 race are Barcelona, Venice, Berlin and, closer to home, Scotland.
Staff from Welcome to Yorkshire have been discussing the prospect of what is historically England's largest county hosting the start of cycling's biggest race since last year, with the proposed routes of the opening two stages taking in Leeds, Sheffield, Hull, York, Scarborough and the Yorkshire Dales.
Today's news of a formal bid being submitted represents another milestone in the bid process, although going by past practice on ASO's part it's unlikely to be until 2014 or even 2015 that the identity of the venue for the 2016 Grand Départ is known.
Gary Verity, chief executive of regional tourism agency Welcome to Yorkshire, commented: "It is the world's biggest annual sporting event, 88 million people every day watch it on the telly. It offers massive coverage.
"We are making a series of pitches which will culminate in a big meeting in two months time to try and persuade the organisers that Yorkshire is the place for them."
It has previously been revealed that a delegation from ASO will be visiting Yorkshire this May to see for themselves the proposed route of a Grand Départ in the region.
Britain last hosted the Tour de France in 2007, when London and Kent hosted the first two days of the race, with the Prologue won by Fabian Cancellara on the opening day and Robbie McEwen sprinting to victory in Stage 1 in Canterbury 24 hours later.
That year also saw the debut in the race of Britain's most successful ever Tour de France rider in terms of stage wins, Mark Cavendish – although a crash towards the end of the stage through Kent denied him the chance to vie for his first stage win. He's made up for it since, mind.
Last year, Cavendish, whose mother comes from Yorkshire, gave his backing to the region's efforts to bring the Tour de France to the region.
When Yorkshire bids will they allow other counties to start subsequent stages ?
A longish Team Time Trial going from one City Centre to another would give masses of people access to that route by a variety of means of transport . Better a Point A to Point B situation so that the maximum can access the area !
Also it would be best if there were several stages rather than the two day effort in 2007 since there are so many other areas worth a visit on the way to the channel .
Would be great to see a Bid that takes an interest in showcasing " Athletes with Disabilities " on the days when the media are available ! So many Grand Departs in recent years have had events on the weekend before but WHO can recall seeing " Hand Bikes or Para Athletes " even then ?
ASO does not make a " Profit " from " Para Sport " so makes no effort to include these " Athletes " in any Media Plans .
Of course people only think of what benefits them and ASO are past masters of making sure they maximise their interests !

Other recommendations include using cellulosic biofuels such as switchgrass and poplar hybrids, but the assessment team acknowledged that field implementation of cellulosic biofuel crops is under development. In the meantime, cellulosic ethanol is being produced from corn stover -- the cobs, leaves and stalks left in a field after harvest.
Dale is proposing research to establish landscape design that will help farmers and land management agencies determine where and how biofuel feedstocks can be grown with minimal environmental impacts.
In our report to the EPA, were recommending planting perennials, promoting environmentally sustainable biofuel production and using no-till farming as key land management strategies, Dale said. Reducing the amount of nutrients on fields and restoring wetlands are other important parts of the panels land management recommendations.
At a recent Department of Energy conference, Biomass 2008: Fueling our Future, researchers discussed multiple aspects of bioenergy crops.
Choices about what crops are grown and how they are planted, fertilized and harvested influence the effects of biofuels on native plant diversity, competition with food crops and effects on water and air quality, Dale said.
Decisions in this area also affect economic viability because the distance that biofuels must be transported has a large effect on the market cost of biofuels as well as the quality of life for those who live in communities through which the bulky fuel is transported, Dale said.
Dale and colleagues at ORNL are now focusing on watershed studies to determine what is happening between fields and the Gulf using models at different scales to interpret the data.
Understanding these intermediate layers is crucial to filtering out th

Comments about New York Jets Spotlight Full-Zip Sweatshirt:
I have started wearing a lightweight jacket around the house in the fall and winter months and have gotten rid of several heavy bathrobes. This fleece (100% polyester) jacket is perfect for keeping warm on chilly days and nights. Also will keep you warm and comfortable outdoors on cool (not cold)days. Probably not useful below about 45 degrees, unless you are keeping active/exercising. NFL team logo and lettering is embroidered into jacket and should last for the life of the jacket. Jacket is made in Swaziland. Have not yet washed it but it calls for cold water wash on gentle cycle.

A member of the Chicago Bulls' Luvabulls cheerleading squad won't be forgetting Thursday night's game anytime soon, and not just because her team won!

August 1,
- The administration of The University of Southern Mississippi's
College of Health (COH) is leaving no doubt as to its commitment
to students, faculty, the university and its educational mission.
The College
of Health has adopted a new motto, RESOLVED, INC. The motto is an
acronym for eight key areas of focus interim dean Dr. Joan Exline
and her staff believe will help define the college as it moves into
the future.
"It (coming
up with the motto) is a great opportunity," Exline said. "We're
moving into a new location, we're a new college. So it made a lot
of sense to sit down and figure out what we are going to do, and
how it is we are going to go about doing it."
Laura Malone,
assistant to the dean for the COH, said that coming up with the
new motto was a staff-wide affair.
"It was
very collaborative," Malone said. "The meeting began with
us trying to describe what we wanted the dean's office of the College
of Health to represent, and then we just started brain-storming
different things we wanted to provide to our students, staff and
"We came
up with words that are important to us, to describe who we wanted
to be. It was a real team effort."
Each of the
letters in RESOLVED, INC hold a specific meaning for COH students,
faculty and staff: R-Resourceful; E-Efficient; S-Student friendly;
O-optimistic; L-Loyal; V-Visionary; E-Energetic; D-Dedicated; I-Innovative;
N-Notable; C-Caring.
The "S,"
which stands for student friendly, is of particular note because
it speaks to another new approach being taken by the COH, that of
extending office hours to run from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and keeping
the college's office open during lunch.
"We feel
that we have a lot of nontraditional students who need to reach
us during the noon hour and after work," Exline said, "and
some of the graduate classes don't begin until 6:30 p.m.
"We are
going to test this, and see if it makes us more accessible, especially
with those groups."
Malone added,
"Ideally what we wanted to do was provide students with more
The new hours
will go into effect Aug. 14.
Another letter,
"V," for visionary, can be directly applied to an upcoming
improvement in how the college serves students.
looking at some new things," Exline said. "One of those
new things will be the Student Resource Center. We're creating a
setting where students can visit and learn about careers and degree
programs in the COH. Because often they know they want to do something
in health care, but they don't have a clue what.
hasn't been a central place for them to get information before,
so they had to go to each of the different departments."
The Student
Resource Center is scheduled to open Oct. 1, Exline said.

Soap & Glory Mighty Mouth Lip Balm
No word on Soap & Glory's US launch yet but I'm patiently awaiting the word! Miss it yet? I do! My Target shelves look so lonely without Soap & Glory gracing their presence.
Le sigh!
Today I bring word of a new Soap & Glory Mighty Mouth Lip Balm, we can't get it in the US but we can hope for it to reach us come Fall 2011 when Soap & Glory promises to announce their new US retailer!
Her lips were so crushingly luscious they nicknamed her… Mighty Mouth. Extreme-hydrating super glossy lip balm! In yummy vanilla, with a gorgeous pink colored tint that gives a natural fresh healthy glow to the lips.
For the record, totally can do without being nickednamed Mighty Mouth! Makes me think of Mouth from the Goonies!
But I can get on board with this lip balm. I generally like Soap & Glory's Sexy Mother Pucker so I imagine this new balm will be just as good plus it's a squeeze tube so you can really layer that bad boy on! The color looks lovely as well.
What do you think?
£7 at your local Boots and for the rest US residents, well, we just have to patiently await its arrival on US shores.

The Faerieworlds festival runs this weekend, July 25th through 27th, at Howard Buford Recreation Area at Mount Pisgah. It is an annual music and arts festival that welcomes dress-up, dance, music and magic. Lane Country has ended its contract with Faerieworlds after this year, so this year's event may be the last in the area. Faerieworlds' organizers say they plan to move the event back to Horning's Hideout northwest of Portland near North Plains.

Nana arrived here from the US on 13th October. Just in time for William's birthday and the birth of Rocky.
The kids have warmed upto her very quickly. William has a habit though of calling Nana, Emily. He does it many times a day, seems no matter how many times we correct him he still reverts to Emily.
Explaining to him that this is Nana and Aunty Emily is in Bogata, Columbia. William is really enjoying having Nana do things with him and having an alterative to mummy since she is stuck often feeding Rocky.
Nana brought some cards from Aunty Ellen and Nana a book each for our munchkins and a scarf for Gigi.
We are all loving having Nana here with us.

By CLAUDETTE LANGLEYSun Advocate reporter
The fourth time was the charm for South Price residents seeking to re-zone their property.
Pace and Tonda Hansen and Aggie Peirce applied to have more than 64 acres re-zoned from five acre parcels to two-and-half but ran into some opposition from neighbors forcing them to undergo two additional hearings. After being bounced back to planning and zoning the residents were finally granted their request at the June 18 Carbon County Board of Commission meeting.
"I fully recognize that you are surrounded by different zonings from RR5 to RR1," said Commissioner Bill Krompel to the Hansens and Peirce. "But I want to add a caveat to the planning and zoning commission when they are making these changes."
Krompel and Commissioner Steve Burge voted at their May 6 meeting to send the request back to planning for a second review before making a final decision. Their decision seemed to be spurred on by very vocal neighbors who showed up for the May 6 public hearing and protested the change.
Citing various quality of life issues Brett Griggs asked the commissioners not to allow the change to two-and-a-half acres. He stated that his family had moved to the area for solitude and freedom and that the smaller parcels would open the door for development and crowding of the rural area.
While the protests resounded at the hearing, Krompel had another issue he shared at the June 4 planning and zoning meeting on the requests. He further expounded on his concerns June 18 before voting to approve the change.
Projecting a little hand-drawn map of the area on to a screen Krompel detailed his concerns about the impact future development on O'Brien Road, that he says is narrow and not built to withstand heavy traffic flow.
"I had a traffic survey done on three roads," he said. "On 3600 South, which has 12-foot wide lanes and a shoulder, there were only 44 vehicles a day; on O'Brien there were 300 to 400 and 2460 South which is also plenty wide has 260 to 280 cars."
However, Commissioner Mike Milovich reminded his colleague that while the information was important that it simply had no place in considering a zone change.
"These points can't be part of the equation," Milovich said.
Milovich was reiterating points made at the second review of the application by the planning and zoning board members. Somehow, the discussions on the requests focused mainly on issues that were tied to development, such as increased traffic flow and density.
The board members and county planning staff seemed a little confused as to how it had evolved into considering future problems, when proposed development wasn't on the table.
Peirce said she was pursuing the change because she wanted to sell her home and that the tentative purchasers just weren't interested in buying five acres of property. The Hansens whose property is across the street from Peirce's said they decided to go in with her on the request to support her efforts and for reasons of their own.
"Aggie needs this change to sell her house and I want to do it because I can," Pace Hansen said.
Krompel however, seemed to see this request as an opportunity to bring to the forefront some broader concerns.
"I would like to see the planning and zoning board more actively involved in our county planning process and looking for solutions to some of our road problems," he said.
Milovich, who also serves on planning, assured the crowd and his fellow commissioner that the board takes concerns into consideration.
"To say that planning and zoning has been engaged is unfair," he said.
With the issues aired Krompel and Milovich moved to approve the zoning change. Commissioner Steve Burge was not present.
In other business commissioners approved Restaurant Tax money for two of the county's premier summer celebrations - Sunnyside's Community Daze and Helper's arts festival.
"Prices of fuel, supplies and so forth have gone up," said Helper Councilman P.J. Jensen in asking for support.
However, before deciding on the exact amount to be granted to Helper, Milovich counseled the representatives at the meeting on fiscal responsibility.
"We have been funding you guys for the last 10 to 11 years," he said. "We want to encourage you to move forward so you can be more self-sufficient."
The festival's co-director Melanie Steele said that they have been trying to pull in enough private support to keep the festival afloat and that they were able to go one year without the county's help.
"Last year was the first year we did not apply for the Restaurant Tax," she said. "We did put out an application for a grant from the state but there were too many others competing for the same money. That's the reason we are coming back for help."
Steele's co-director Marilou Kundmueller seemed a little confused as to why there would be a question of supporting the festival.
"I don't see why there would be any hesitancy on the county's part to keep funding the art's festival," she said.
Milovich informed her of the history between the entities.
"You keep giving us promises and commitments of where you want to be and where you are going," he said. "But we are still here. What is your financial plan? How are you going to make this sustainable."
Despite the caveats, the commission approved $12,500 for this year's arts festival, which was half of what the committee was seeking.
In addition, Krompel and Milovich approved giving Sunnyside City $1,200 to support the rodeo at this year's Community Daze.

Hudson River Almanac July 6 - July 12, 2012
There is speculation that scarcity of submerged aquatic vegetation (primarily wild celery) in the estuary this summer may be the result of last summer's tropical storms Irene and Lee. In an ongoing story, a stretch of 90+ degree days may have contributed to kills of Atlantic menhaden in the lower estuary.
7/12 - Yonkers, HRM 18: The Beczak Center educators at the Kathryn W. Davis River Walk caught a fish in their seine that we had not seen before. From the attached photos, can you tell us what it is?
- Susan Hereth
[The fish was a spot (Leiostomus xanthurus), a palm-sized, saltwater species of the drum family. They get their name from a conspicuous black spot just behind their gill opening and above their pectoral fin. While spot are found occasionally in summer in the lower estuary, they are more common farther down the coast from New Jersey to Maryland. They are colloquially called "Lafayettes," a name passed down in river lore since 1824 when a visit of the Revolutionary War general Lafayette to Manhattan coincided with a great presence of these fish in the lower river. Tom Lake.]
7/6 - Selkirk, HRM 135: In two hours early this morning, I saw baby bunnies in the back yard, a fawn crossing the street, a baby gray squirrel running up a tree, and a mother raccoon herding her four babies across the road. This was definitely a morning for babies.
- Roberta S. Jeracka
7/6 - Kerhonkson, Ulster County, HRM 77: Early in the morning, as I watered my friend's garden, I noticed a miniscule caterpillar on a very small clump of 15-inch-high dill. With a second look I was amazed to find 16 more. This brings back to me the time when a dear friend told me that she was killing the annoying parsley worm (that also eats dill and Queen Anne's lace). I explained to her that she was killing the larva of the black swallowtail butterfly! She never killed one again.
I think it is a very good caterpillar year. For the second time in thirty years I began raising monarch butterfly caterpillars before May 20. My beautiful black swallowtail larvae are as attractive as those of the monarch. I've decided the caterpillar is my totem animal. That may have been obvious to many who know me but with the gift of this season, I can ignore it no longer.
- Betty Boomer
7/6 - Town of Poughkeepsie: I had the pleasure of watching the two fledglings from eagle nest NY62 fly together for twenty minutes, including some frolicking while in flight - they each did a barrel roll. They are flying much higher and flew out of my sight several times. When they came back they began talon grabbing in flight over the fields. You can sense that the adults want them to expand their boundaries as they bring food only sparingly.
- Terry Hardy
[Immature eagles, even those only three weeks out of the nest, will begin playing games such talon-grabbing that provide good exercise and social interaction. In the winter months, we frequently see immatures playing "tag" on the river ice: One bird will carry a stick, a rock, or a fish in its talons and others will pursue until it is dropped, whereupon another bird will pick it up and the game continues. Tom Lake.]
7/6 - Wappinger Falls, HRM 67: While leaving a farm market and heading south, something "winged" caught my eye. I looked up and watched a large red-tailed hawk swoop down and take a squirrel. They tumbled head over talon twice down the slope of an embankment and finally came to a stop. The squirrel fought but the hawk was not losing its meal. The hawk protected its catch, with an eye on me to make sure I was not a threat. I watched for a few more minutes and left with the hawk picking fur.
- Zshawn Sullivan
7/7 - Cheviot, HRM 106: A majestic group of five great blue herons flew slowly past in a loose formation, wings seeming almost to touch. They circled just above the big tree at the end of the jetty and came back to land in its upper branches. Three were definitely immatures; the other two were obscured by foliage. We see many great blues but this was the first time seeing a tight flying group like this. My thought was that this was a family of adults and fledglings.
- Jude Holdsworth
7/7 - Staatsburg, HRM 86: A juvenile red-shouldered hawk perched on the roof of a house across the street, "kayaking" all morning. It didn't take much imagination to translate its call to its parents: "How about some breakfast!"
- David Lund
7/7 - Norrie Point HRM 85: Thirteen of us hauled our seine through the weedy shallows at a very low tide at the Environmental Education Center. Our modest catch consisted of a white sucker, three pumpkinseed sunfish, six banded killifish, nine spottail shiners, and at least 25 tessellated darters.
- Jim Herrington
7/7 - Town of Poughkeepsie: We stood and listened to the "chortling" of the eagle fledglings as they perched in the nest tree (NY62). In the twelve years we have watched this pair and their offspring, these have been by far the most attached-to-the-nest fledglings that we have ever seen. In most years, they have left in a few days and the nest remained empty for the next seven months. But these two have the "run of the house." Just as the adults had to limit food delivery in order to get them to fledge, they will probably have to find a way to entice them away from the dinner table that has become the nest tree.
- Tom Lake. T.R. Jackson
7/8 - Saugerties, HRM 102: Several of us have noticed an almost complete lack of wild celery (Vallisneria americana) in the river this year in areas where it has typically been known to thrive.
- Patrick Landewe
7/8 - Poughkeepsie, HRM 75.5: We went seining this morning during low tide at the Mid-Hudson Children's Museum. Among our catch was a three-inch-long, juvenile Atlantic needlefish, very uncommon here. We also caught white perch, young-of-the-year [YOY] striped bass, pumpkinseed sunfish, spottail shiner, and a tiny hogchoker. The river is great to share with families!
- Lisa DiMarzo
7/8 - Cortlandt Manor, HRM 38.5: I sat on the deck this evening watching at least six bats flitting around. I was getting glimpses of five or six at a time overhead, a fun aerial show that I have not seen for at least three years.
- Peter C. Schechter
7/9 - Cheviot, HRM 106: I saw what I thought was a huge cormorant in the big tree out on the jetty. It turned out to be an immature bald eagle doing the "Dracula" pose. After a while the bird dropped down and stood in the river, and was later joined by another juvenile who also stood in the river. Later I read the Almanac that they were cooling off on a very warm day.
- Jude Holdsworth
7/9 - Cruger Island HRM 98: Beds of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) seem to have diminished this year compared to areas where they had flourished at this time last year. Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve [HRNERR] staff monitor SAV plots south of Cruger Island, and so far have noted no growth of the native wild celery. Other observations document a lack of SAV in known beds near Iona Island (HRM 45), Black Creek/Norrie Point (HRM 85), Esopus Meadows/Dinsmore (HRM 87), the Kingston/Rhinecliff Bridge (HRM 96), and Glasco (HRM 100). The SAV Volunteer Monitoring program, a partnership between HRNERR and the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, plans to re-visit points throughout the Hudson River Estuary that were checked last year to try and confirm the presence or absence of SAV. If a loss of SAV is confirmed, causes are uncertain, but may be due to the impact of last fall's tropical storms Irene and Lee.
- Sarah H. Fernald
7/9 - Stone Ridge, Ulster County, HRM 90: Rondout Creek is now host to a pair of bald eagles, an adult and an immature, that have taken up residence above a quiet spot where the creek widens between a farm and a golf course. The creek is slower here; the bend keeps down the wind and leaves the fish easy to spot in the shallows.
- Peter Hales
7/9 - Town of Fishkill, HRM 63.5: As I sipped my morning coffee four tufted titmice flew into my Japanese maple tree. One was obviously an adult - the three followers didn't have their complete "tufts" yet. They were all squawking as the adult flew to a spruce tree, then to a silver maple with the fledglings in hot pursuit. It was as if they were playing a game. Three minutes later, a northern flicker came through with two fledglings that did exactly the same thing in exactly the same order. Too cute! Eleven yellow jackets were sitting on the edge of the birdbath getting a cool drink.
- Andra Sramek
7/9 - Fishkill, HRM 61: While standing next to a plastic window box planter set atop a stone wall, we noticed a small dark bee with a leaf cutting as it entered an opening beneath the planter. When I overturned the planter, it was evident that the leaf-cutter bee had developed quite a network of nest cells along the plastic grooves beneath the planter. Normally these bees nest in soft, rotted wood; the nest is built and the young are then tended only by the female bee.
- Ed Spaeth, John Pereira
7/10 - Ulster County, HRM 78: As a follow-up to spring peregrine falcon observations conducted by the Mohonk Preserve at three locations along the Shawangunk Ridge, Bob Elsinger and I, with ground support from Glenn Proudfoot, climbed to the eyrie ledge of the recently failed second breeding attempt of one pair of falcons. The second eyrie was located 300 feet north of this year's first unsuccessful eyrie, on a ledge 170 feet up from the base of the cliff.
A few hours before the climb to the eyrie, Glenn Proudfoot had hiked up the back side of the cliff to investigate the location where, a few days earlier, a turkey vulture had dive-bombed a male peregrine that had set down in a patch of grass near a tall, columnar red cedar. Glenn found no evidence of a peregrine chick or its remains or anything unusual at the location where the male peregrine had been seen, but did notice an odor of decay coming up from below the cedar. A similar odor of decay was also noted at the site on the eyrie ledge where the limited remains (mostly feathers, down and a few small bone fragments) of a peregrine chick were spotted. No adult peregrines were seen or heard during the climb and reconnaissance of the eyrie. Part of a peregrine falcon chick, peregrine egg shell and membrane fragments, and a white wing of a rock dove were collected while climbing to the eyrie.
This has been a frustrating peregrine falcon monitoring season. It started out with optimism and the promise of successful breeding/fledging of falcons at three eyries along the Shawangunk escarpment. It ended with failure of all of them, including our last hope - the Trapps re-nesting pair. It is clear that we need to have a better understanding of predation and ideally a grasp of predation management at the eyries if future peregrine breeding efforts at the Shawangunks are to be successful. We will look into available information about peregrine predation, especially by great horned owl and gray fox.
- Joe Bridges, Tom Sarro
7/10 - Manhattan, HRM 0: During the twelve-minute ride to Governor's Island, our ferry boat was shadowed by common terns and laughing gulls.
- Tom Lake
7/11 - Kowawese, HRM 59: The seemingly endless string of 90-plus Fahrenheit days had warmed the shallows to 81 degrees. Two immature bald eagles were out in Cornwall Bay perched in the forest of deadfalls that were swept out of Moodna Creek by tropical storms Irene and Lee last summer. Given the time of the season, our seine catch was predictable: YOY blueback herring 42-55 millimeters [mm] long, many of which had arrived there after a long swim from the Mohawk River more than 100 miles away. Other YOY fish (a Hudson River specialty) included alewives (62-64 mm) and striped bass (50-51 mm).
- Noel Poindexter, Veronica Schneider, Tom Lake, A. Danforth
7/12 - Rhinebeck, HRM 90: As I was walking on Wurtemburg Road in Rhinebeck today, I heard my first summer cicada. It sounded like a solitary cicada.
- Phyllis Marsteller
7/12 - Hyde Park, HRM 82: We electro-shocked Crum Elbow Creek as part of our TogetherGreen collaborative grant for the Hudson River Estuary Program eel project. We made three passes over the same 135-foot stretch of the creek, a bit below the second dam upstream from the estuary. All together we caught two cutlips minnows, 26 adult blacknose dace, three YOY blacknose dace, one tessellated darter, a small neotenic salamander, 10 spiny-cheeked crayfish, and 11 American eels ranging in size from 55-87 mm. When we let them go, that largest eel was a joy to see, slowly undulating through the shallow waters and easy to watch. We also spotted an excited young water snake, with its head up like a submersible cobra.
- Eric Lind, Sarah Mount, Chris Bowser
[The cutlips minnow is a member of the carp and minnow family. Their name describes their lower jaw, which is divided into three lobes. They have been known to use the sharp scalpel-like edge on the middle lobe to core out the eyes of other fish, most notably yellow perch and other minnows. C. Lavett Smith.]
[Neoteny refers to a phenomenon in which salamanders keep some larval features while metamorphosing into sexually mature adults. Steve Stanne.]
7/12 - East Fishkill, HRM 60: In last two days I have seen monarch butterflies flying around my yard. They seemed to be going south, but who can tell with their random flight pattern. They sampled the cosmos flowers in the yard before flying away.
- Sudhir Sharma
7/12 - Croton-on-Hudson, HRM 35: My neighbors had their swimming pool filled for the summer and almost immediately a bullfrog took up residence. Every night the croaking and singing begins at dusk and then goes on into the dark.
- Robin Fox
7/12 - Yonkers, HRM 18: In the last two weeks, there have been a lot of fish found dead in the river around the Beczak Center and Kennedy Marina. Some of this same species have been seen swimming on their side at the surface offshore. Attached are pictures of two of the dead fish.
- Todd Patton
[The photos were of Atlantic menhaden, a saltwater species of herring also known as bunker or mossbunker. They travel in large schools in the warm, brackish lower Hudson, where they provide forage for striped bass, bluefish, harriers, osprey, eagles and seals. Fish kills of bunker are pretty much a part of most hot and dry summers in tributaries and bays along the coast. Menhaden are very sensitive to high water temperatures (especially sudden rises, which have occurred recently) and the resulting lowered concentrations of dissolved oxygen. According to the National Weather Service, air temperatures have reached 90 degrees Fahrenheit or higher in 10 of the last 13 days. Tom Lake.]

College recruiters have their eyes on B-HP's Kendall Joseph
It's been a whirlwind few weeks for Belton-Honea Path's Kendall Joseph on the recruiting front. He's spent years perfecting his craft with the lone goal of becoming the best prep linebacker in the state.
As subjective as that title may be, the only opinions that matter to Joseph are those of college recruiters. In the last two weeks, at least five schools — Louisville, UCLA, Clemson, Appalachian State and Furman — suggested he's in the running for that moniker in the Class of 2014 when they extended scholarship offers.
"I've been waiting for this for a long time. It's amazing that it came in the last two weeks," Joseph said. "But it's not unexpected. I've worked real hard for this and knew I was good enough."
Many may misconstrue Joseph's confidence in himself for cockiness. The junior is grateful for everything he's accomplished, but he chooses to take the tact of a champion, someone who's been there before.
And, Joseph's ability to keep his emotions intact, never getting too high or too low, always looking toward the next play or in this case offer, is how he's separated himself on the gridiron.
After a breakout sophomore season where he racked up 119 tackles in seven games, Joseph tallied 127 in 2012 in leading B-HP to an 8-4 season.
Schools took notice of the 6-foot-1, 228-pound workhorse early on, but Louisville was the first to pull the trigger when one of head coach Charlie Strong's former players convinced him to take a look at Joseph's film.
An addiction to film study put Joseph in the right place at the right time on a regular basis the last two years.
A three-time state champion at the South Carolina High School Strength Coaches Association meet, Joseph's workout regimen has prepared him to take on some the state's toughest offensive linemen.
Joseph became the second Anderson County linebacker in three years to be offered by nearby Clemson. T.L. Hanna linebacker Ben Boulware committed quickly last spring and signed with the Tigers in February.
Boulware's and Joseph's recruitment, however, figure to be on opposite ends of the spectrum, though. Whereas Boulware was a lifelong Clemson fan, Joseph said he has no allegiance to any college team, which has him more inclined to go through the whole process.
"My family said to take my time and make the best decision for me," Joseph said. "If I feel ready to commit before the season, I'll commit. But, if not, I'll wait until after the season."
He has maintained that he wants as many offers as will come his way and will do his due diligence on each one. Even FCS schools like Furman aren't out of the question as more BCS offers are sure to pour in, he said.
Joseph will make a visit to the Greenville campus Saturday before attending the Nike training camp in Atlanta April 13.
"It's not so much about tradition and what level you're on as much as it is about the coaching," Joseph said. "It's about the coaches more than anything and then playing time. I'm willing to redshirt and then gradually move into a starting role."
For now, he plans on taking his official visits and letting everything fall into place from there.
"Football season comes first," Joseph said. "The recruiting process really isn't that bad in terms of taking up a lot of your time. I just need to keep focused and maintain my grades and we'll see what happens."

South Lamar beer update
As mentioned in the last Badass Beer post, we have indeed gone to two Badass Bottles, but we lost one Badass Draft in the process. However, there's a light on the horizon, a silver lining around the cloud, one door closes etc.
The reason for losing the draft is that summer is drawing to a conclusion. Now, all things are relative, and although we're still experiencing near-100° temperatures and Austin's hottest recorded temperature (112F/44.44C) happened in September, the fact is that we're only three weeks away from the autumnal equinox, and to friends of John Barleycorn that means one thing - autumn seasonals! Yesterday (Monday), Live Oak rolled out the first kegs this year's Oaktoberfest and it is delicious. I had me a few pints while watching Get Low, a film I highly recommend. We also tapped a keg of Sam Adams' autumn seasonal, and there'll be more Oktoberfests to follow in the coming weeks, including a Badass Oktoberfest draft or two. Stay tuned for details.
If sweet, malty German brews aren't to your taste, we also have New Belgium Hoptober on tap. As the name suggests, it's a hop-forward beer - a golden ale, moderately - but noticeably - hopped, possessing a decent malt balance and without too many IBUs (40, to be exact).
This weekend we tapped (and it's our current Badass Draft) the first of two kegs of (512)'s descriptively-named TWO. The name is appropriate not just because this is their second anniversary brew, but also because it's a double IPA, and a damn fine one. It is, and I quote, "...heavily hopped with over 4 lbs/bbl of Simcoe, Magnum, Nugget and Ahtanum. This is a big, malty ale with delicate hop aroma, complex hop flavor and sustained smooth hop bitterness. Hops are added from beginning to end during the brewing process and, like most (512) ales, this one is made using over 80% USDA certified organic ingredients." Kevin and Nate have knocked out another good one, I reckon. If TWO is a double IPA, dare we hope that THREE will be a tripel?
So, what about that new Badass Bottle to partner the North Coast Le Merle Saison? This is an interesting one - Dogfish Head Squall IPA. It's described as a bottle-conditioned and dry-hopped 90 Minute and, to be sure, you'll find that characteristic 90 Minute sweetness, but with far more hop flavour and bitterness. There's been some talk among the beer geeks regarding the carbonation of DFH Squall. Some have said their bottle was flat as a pancake while others have had a gusher! I've only had one experience of it so far - a bottle I bought a few weeks ago from Central Market - and I guess I got lucky because mine had that very soft carbonation you find in cask-conditioned beers. Perfect for my palate.
Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione describes it as "the most hoppy beer we make at Dogfish Head", and who am I to disagree with him? By DFH standards it is indeed a serious hop bomb, and well worth investigating. Being bottle conditioned, you will find some sediment at the bottom. It's entirely drinkable and it's up to you whether you go for a regular pour or decant the beer into your glass.
You do always drink your beer from a glass, right?

Travel Picks: Top 10 BBQ spots for Labor Day holiday
Sep 2, 2011, 7:20 a.m.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Picking top barbecue spots is a tad dangerous. The emotions connected to hometown recipes run as deeply as their flavors. Nevertheless online travel adviser Cheapflights (www.cheapflights.com) couldn't resist taking a stab at where to find finger-licking good beef and pork dishes for the Labor Day holiday. Reuters has not endorsed this list:
1. Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Find quintessential Eastern North Carolina barbecue (hint: slow-roasted pork and thin, vinegar-based sauce) in Chapel Hill at cult favorite Allen & Son Barbecue. No need to wear your jacket and tie to this neighborhood joint; its floors are covered in vinyl tile and its tables with checkered table cloths. Keith Allen cuts the hickory wood himself, then uses his secret ingredient to smoke house specialties like fall-off-the-bone ribs and BBQ sandwiches. Accompany Allen's tangy dishes with a glass of sweet tea, and remember to save - or compartmentalize - room for southern sweets like homemade peach cobbler.
2. Memphis, Tennessee
Dry rub reigns in Memphis, where restaurants throw elbows to win the hearts of visitors and would take to their secret recipes to the grave. Heavy hitter Charles Vergos' Rendezvous, opened in 1948 by "Mr. Downtown" Vergos himself, dishes out slabs of pork - part wet, part dry. "Vous style" ribs are basted with vinegar before being dusted with savory spices, creating a crispy, smoked bark. Though Vergos passed away in 2010, his legacy lives on in downtown Memphis. Those without a trip to the River City on the horizon need not fear: Rendezvous ships ribs, pork shoulder, barbecue sauce and other specialty items at a pricey - though worthy - cost.
3. Kansas City, Kansas
We know Anthony Bourdain brought legitimate attention to Oklahoma Joe's Barbecue - a restaurant nestled inside a corner gas station - years ago. But after a visit just this past spring, we couldn't miss the opportunity to talk about the unassuming gem's menu. Pulled pork sandwiches slathered in a spicy sauce with sweet undertones are just the start at this Kansas City favorite. Order a full slab of ribs - fit for you and a friend or two - and drown them in KC's rise-to-the-top table sauce.
4. Austin, Texas
The only thing better than chowing down on Texas barbecue is chowing down on Texas barbecue outside at a live rock concert. Stubb's Bar-B-Q combines Austin's two claims to fame - barbecue and live music - at one awesome downtown venue. Gracing the menu is barbecued brisket, served with your choice of two sides, including coleslaw, fried okra or pinto beans. And while other southern states perfect pork, Texas focuses its culinary attention on beef brisket. Prepared with a simple seasoning - usually just salt and pepper - the beef is slowly cooked over wood or coals. Some joints sop their meat in a famous beer, lemon and vinegar concoction, while others let the brisket speak for its savory self.
5. Chicago, Illinois
Follow a comedy show at Second City with a trip to Smoque, Chicago's go-to restaurant for fall-off-the-bone ribs and barbecue. Take the L train to Irving Park - a neighborhood north of the Loop - for brisket, pulled pork, Texas-style sausage and smoked chicken. "Low and slow" is Smoque's slogan, and the thoughtful methodology pays off. Though Chi-town is climbing the ranks of America's foodie towns and reservation-necessary restaurants like Girl and the Goat and Publican are serving snout-to-tail pork to critical acclaim, it's Smoque that's got the city's barbecue title on lockdown.

"Dai Fujikura ... has already swept up many prizes, and worked with Boulez and Dudamel. Europe, he says, thinks of him as a Japanese composer. The sensuous, watery influences of Takemitsu, writ large, are certainly audible. He considers himself British and says writing slow, meditative gong music is against his nature. This lively east-west tension is evident in the five works here. Secret Forest (2008) is a riot of imaginative bird and insect noise – a private utopia well worth exploring'"
Fiona Maddocks - The Observer
"Exceptionally striking pieces, combining mastery of texture and form with a marvellous sense of compositional pacing and gesture. Secret Forest is especially sublime." *****
Christopher Dingle - BBC Music magazine (Brief Notes section) - September 2012
"... All the performances do Fujikura proud in their unbridled commitment and attentiveness to the smallest nuance. David Toop provides an illuminating overview of his often unlikely evolution ... Natalie Braune's cover artwork , too feels entirely appropriate as an adjunct to the music of one of the most distinctive and thought-provoking younger composers."

Welcome to Player Attack!
McGee explains:
For the past year Spicy Horse has been working on a new initiative, to bring AAA quality gaming to browsers, social networks and mobile devices.
We've been using Unity3D to build three new games based on original IP – all of them what you might call "advanced casual" and all of them created using high quality 3D art assets. These are not your mother's Flash-based social games! But we are integrating many of the elements that helped make online, social, MMO and micro-transaction/freemium/F2P games amongst the fastest growing segments of gaming today.
The studio is currently working on three new games, all in various stages of development and due for release later this year.
First off is BigHead BASH, a fast-paced online multiplayer affair, set inside a giant toy store (that's a theme from Spicy Horse this year, you'll notice).
McGee describes the game as a "new form of digital toy store": Virtual toys are based on real-world licensed content (from games, comics, books, movies and even music), as well as original Spicy Horse creations. Collect a bunch, upgrade them all, and send them in to fight!
BigHead BASH is heading to Facebook and other social/game networks around in the none-too-distant future. For gaming on the go, a tablet version (designed to use a game controller) is also in the works.
Want in on this action? Join the Beta testing of the game right now, at the BigHead BASH website.
Secondly, the team has tackled another fairy tale, giving it the dark, twisted treatment we've come to expect from McGee and his friends. This time around, Little Red Riding Hood has received a makeover, a rich, narrative presentation and a stunning artistic direction, and now appears in Akaneiro: Demon Hunters.
Considered a "spiritual sequel" to the femme fatale fairy tale concept we saw first in Alice, Akaneiro is a sort of RPG-lite, in the spirit of Diablo.
Without mentioning a primary platform for the game, McGee promises cross-platform playability between a PC client, social networking and tablet versions - all using the same player account. He also mentions that social networking will be woven into this release as well.
Finally, the title which we hinted at last week. McGee wants to make sure people know that this is not a game based solely on Jack & The Beanstalk, despite the stunning concept art.
Instead, the Beanstalk is merely one level from Crazy Fairies, a virtual anthology similar Spicy Horse's earlier offering Grimm.
It's been designed to draw on "a multitude of fairy tale stories from around the world", with each story linking into a game play system McGee explains is similar to Wild Ones or the Worms franchise. That is, a turn-based, multiplayer, projectile weapon duelling game, with a comedy twist.
Eagle-eyed gamers may have spotted one key point with all three games: They're all being developed for mobile, social platforms, with nary a "major" console between them.
While McGee isn't ruling out console development in the future, he explains the reasoning behind focussing on the alternatives, for now at least.
We are not interested in publishing to Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo proprietary platforms (at least not right out of the gate). There's only so much bandwidth a team can throw at various incarnations of the games they build - both from a development/support perspective, and from a business development perspective.
Our 'path' is the one we view as having the least resistance - iOS, Android and web/social. If, after we find success on those platforms, we feel the need for "more" then we might publish elsewhere. This strategy means we can better focus our limited resources on making the best games possible.
McGee and his Spicy Horse team have spent the week in San Francisco, holding "many, many meetings" while at GDC. Upon their return to Shanghai, expect to hear plenty more about BigHead BASH, Akaneiro and Crazy Fairies, with all games expected to be publicly playable very shortly.
