A small trailer of a very early build of the mod, a minor space battle giving a taste of what it will be like. A few things to look for are the new WIP textures of the Arachnid ships and the new modified design of the Hero Rodger Young ship. A few things set it apart from the Star Battleship. Also, the weapon particle effects shown are not the ones that will be in the finished version. There are also a few texture issues with the Fed Fighters not being properly UVd. http://z8.invisionfree.com/SST_FIW/index.php?act=idx

Anticipation Builds in Carolina
By Bob Wage, TheFourthPeriod.com
Unlike last year when the roster was set before training camp even started, there are jobs available this season and several players are in the mix to claim them. One or two newcomers might even work their way into the top-six forwards and nothing is etched in stone for this Hurricanes team that missed the playoffs last season.
Last season Patrick Dwyer saw duty there, (7G 5A) and Carolina GM Jim Rutherford said recently that he would be given a chance to earn that spot again but a couple of "young and restless" prospects will be nipping at his heels. Zac Dalpe left Ohio State after two seasons, traveled to Albany at year end and promptly scored seven goals in his nine-game debut for the River Rats. He's played very well in Traverse City recently (4GP 2G 2A) and would have to be considered a front runner presently.
The Hurricanes traded a second round draft pick to Edmonton for Riley Nash, who needed some friendly convincing to move on from Cornell a year early. Nash comes highly recommended by none other than Ron Francis, so coaches will be watching this player very closely.
Added to the mix is Jeff Skinner, Carolina's first round pick in this year's draft and seventh overall. Everyone is talking about this 50 goal scorer from the Kitchener Rangers who played center during his successful junior career. Skinner led Carolina's prospect team in scoring during the successful Traverse City Tournament.
There is also the chance that one of those players could be moved to wing and if they impress they could see time in the top six. Other young players to watch this camp include Zach Boychuk, Jiri Tlusty, Drayson Bowman, Jerome Samson, Matt Kennedy, Chris Terry, and Jared Staal.
With several prospects knocking on the door to get some veteran Canes in their contract years need to have bounce-back seasons if they want to keep their jobs. Rutherford recently told the press that Erik Cole, Sergei Samsonov, and Chad LaRose were at the crossroads of their careers and that they needed to step up this season. Jussi Jokinen is also in a contract year but he is coming off a 30-goal season and management would be tickled pink if he could repeat that.
The Hurricanes are young on the blueline and there will be a couple of battles there as well. Joni Pitkanen, Joe Corvo, and Tim Gleason will get the lion's share of ice time while rookie Jamie McBain played very well at the end of last season and will also see some major minutes. Anton Babchuk, Brett Carson, Bobby Sanguinetti, and Jay Harrison are among the favorites for the final pairing.
Cam Ward is the main man in net and he'll be supported by rookie Justin Peters, who just played nine games last season. The Canes' brass will be holding their collective breath in hope that Ward's sporadic back problems don't pop up again this season, otherwise they will be looking for outside help in goal. (See Manny Legace last season).
Coach Paul Maurice will have ample flexibility mixing and matching his line combinations and we think one version could be: Eric Staal-Erik Cole-Tuomo Ruutu, Brandon Sutter-Jussi Jokinen-Sergei Samsonov, Jeff Skinner-Jiri Tlusty-Zach Boychuk and Patrick Dwyer-Tom Kostopoulos-Matt Kennedy/ Jerome Samson/Drayson Bowman.
Whether Rutherford adds more players to the group or not, this promises to be one of the most interesting and exciting training camps in Hurricanes history. The Canes open their season schedule on Oct. 7 in Helsinki, Finland against the Minnesota Wild.

Hi Friends,
I've been thinking a bit the past few weeks about whether or not I want to continue blogging. I still love food and cooking but I have lost my motivation/desire to write blog posts about what I ate for dinner. GAH! But I've been think about perhaps starting another blog focusing more on over all health which I think may be helpful as I start my career as a health counselor. It could be a kind of fun niche to blog about maintaining holistic health in the wedding planning process :) But I still want a place to share ice cream recipes with you all and I kind of like what I've created with this blog. So basically I am at a loss as what I would like to do. Start another blog and continue this one? Stop blogging here completely? Revamp this one a bit? Suggestions welcome!
See you when I get this jazz figured out :)

Tim Gray Wins Top Prize Playing "Crossword" Scratch Game
DES MOINES, Iowa - A Harlan man kept it quiet after he won $30,000 playing the lottery's "Crossword" instant-scratch game.
Tim Gray, 42, said he was at work when he scratched the ticket and realized he had won the top prize. Gray is employed at Shelby County Cookers in Harlan.
He said he didn't plan to tell anyone about his big win until after he visited the lottery's Council Bluffs office on May 28 to claim his prize. He said after that he'd let his coworkers and his wife in on the big news.
Gray purchased his winning ticket at Kum & Go, 702 Chatburn in Harlan.

Launched in 2009 with funding from the Learn and Serve America Higher Education program of the Corporation for National and Community Service and ongoing support from the Environmental Protection Agency, GLISTEN (the Great Lakes Innovative Stewardship through Education Network), harnesses the expertise and innovation of college faculty and undergraduate students to promote stewardship of the Great Lakes, an ecosystem containing 20% of the world's fresh water.
Vision and Mission
By focusing undergraduate curriculum development efforts, academic courses, research, fieldwork, and other resources on a single but multi-faceted civic issue, GLISTEN builds the capacity of STEM faculty and departments to:
- improve learning in the STEM disciplines,
- engage students in direct action (i.e., service-learning) and community-based research to benefit resource-strapped governmental and community-based organizations,
- position students to take advantage of "green" professional opportunities upon graduation,
- provide students with the 21st Century skills (such as critical thinking, capacity for collaboration, as well as associated civic engagement skills), and
- help students as well as members of the involved communities become enlightened stakeholders who practice active stewardship behaviors in their private and civic lives.
How GLISTEN works
GLISTEN supports collaborative clusters in the 8 Great Lakes states. Each cluster embraces at least one 4-year and one 2-year undergraduate institution where Great-Lakes-stewardship-focused courses are developed and offered. GLISTEN Clusters include community-based organizations, local governments and others as collaborators working to achieve goals for water quality, clean air, conservation, and other environmental improvement. Each cluster also includes representatives from at least one informal science education venue, such as a science museum, nature center or state or national park. Through these venues and others, the outcomes of cluster projects are shared with the general public to empower citizens to engage more effectively in scientifically-informed stewardship behaviors. While each cluster focuses on a particular Great Lakes stewardship challenge, all will share goals in the following three areas:
Undergraduate student leadership development and career preparation
Undergraduate stewardship liaisons serve as the logistical "glue" linking participating faculty and community-based organizations who benefit from GLISTEN-sponsored service-learning and undergraduate research activities. These students provide critical project leadership, ensuring that each cluster maintains an optimal balance among curricular goals, community needs, and student interests. Student leaders also receive specialized training to prepare them to excel in the "green jobs" of the future.
Curriculum development, dissemination and the creation of a community of practice
Within each cluster and across clusters, faculty collaborate to integrate on-the-ground stewardship activities to improve learning in their undergraduate STEM coursework.
Evaluation and assessment to promote program effectiveness
To assess learning and civic engagement outcomes, GLISTEN-associated courses utilize the Student Assessment of Learning Gains (SALG) and other assessment resources of the National Center for Science and Civic Engagement.
Since 2009, GLISTEN-affiliated higher education institutions have enrolled over 3,000 undergraduate students in coursework incorporating Great Lakes stewardship activities. These activities - including water quality monitoring, restoring wetlands, and assessing and addressing aquatic and terrestrial non-native species invasions ? have benefited dozens of community-based organizations in 8 states undergoing challenges to their operational capacity due to the recent economic downturn (by anthony). Over 80 undergraduate stewardship liaisons have assisted faculty and community-based agencies with the coordination of these activities and formed a corps of future leaders in efforts to restore and protect the Great Lakes.

Eating Out: Royal Oak Inn, Little Cawthorpe
Posted: January 23, 2013|
THE Royal Oak Inn at Little Cawthorpe, near Louth, is a real home from home.
A roaring fire, top-quality food, smiles in abundance and a place to relax and wash away any pressures, is how we found it.
The brook, which has to be crossed to get to the popular bar restaurant, nearly washed away more than our stresses as the melting snow created quite a torrent.
But the stream, which gives the venue its more popular name – The Splash – is easily crossed whatever the weather, so long as you drive carefully and give way to anyone coming the other way.

With such a homely feel to the place it was not surprising, therefore, to bump into our neighbours as they took their 92-year-old matriarch out for a lunchtime treat.
Our six-week-old baby felt just at home, too, and the staff were kind and heated her lunchtime milk bottle.
Having chatted for a while with the neighbours, we ordered a couple of soft drinks at the bar and found our own cosy snug.
Soaking in the relaxed feel to the pub, we took our time browsing the new winter menu.
It was filled with delights.
With temperatures not having gone above freezing for a couple of days, I decided soup was the best choice of the day.
The roasted red pepper soup, at £4.95, was superb. My partner had mushroom in smoked bacon, topped with Monterey Jack cheese sauce, also at £4.95.
She loved it and suggested respectfully that pancetta might have worked better and made it perfect.
The dish was perfectly presented.
Other starter options included prawn cocktail with Marie rose sauce at £5.25 or The Splash home-made chicken liver and bacon pate on Foccacia bread, for £4.95.
The combo of mushroom and chicken liver and bacon pate with filo prawn with naan bread was very tempting, too.
A wide range of sandwiches, including cheese, egg, tuna or roast meats, were on offer at £4.95 and baguettes with hot and cold fillings with chips, for £5.95, were available for those looking for a snack lunch.
The venue also offered a range of jacket potato fillings, from £4.95 to £5.95, and there was a good range of salads, from £7.95 to £8.95.
The fish dishes looked equally appetising, with haddock with all the trimmings for £9.25, or Whitby breaded scampi for £8.75. The fresh Grimsby fish of the day was £10.50.
For vegetarians, there was a tasty vegetable bean curry with rice and naan for £9.50, or a mushroom, spinach and stilton pie.
Chicken dishes included hand-battered chicken breast in a rich barbecue sauce, for £10.25.
But our day was made complete when we tucked into a tasty gammon dish with both egg and pineapple, chips and peas and a lasagne with salad.
My partner said her lasagne was wonderful, though the edges were crisper than necessary.
The gammon was equally delicious.
We were both full. Although tempted by desserts, including ice-cream at £4.95, we resisted.
On another day I would have gone for the range of European cheeses for £5.95.
There was also a gluten-free choice of sponges and treacle or chocolate brownie, for £4.95.
It was good to see The Splash has maintained its tradition of very high standards and its new winter menu has to be sampled whatever the weather.

River Estate Guest House Hotel Review: This lush riverside property offers exceptional value for special occasions such as honeymoons. Located over an hour away from Lihue airport and set among acres of tropical gardens, the Guest House offers a serene, private setting. The dreamy town of Hanalei is within reach via one-lane bridges. The house is ideal for those looking for individual, stand-alone accommodations, as a stay here feels like being a guest in someone's well-kept home (a maximum of four guests can stay in the two-bedroom property). These two residences for rent are outfitted with hardwood floors, modern furnishings, state-of-the-art entertainment centers, a gourmet kitchen and barbecue grills. There's air-conditioning in the house, but we prefer taking in the fresh Hawaiian air on the decks.

LEE COUNTY, Fla. - It looks like any other flag waiving in the breeze, right? Well, not exactly.
The flag is upside down and at half staff. So, who is doing this and why? Well, we caught up with Fort Myers homeowner 77 year old Don Zehnder.
He turned his flag upside down in his front yard first thing Wednesday morning after learning President Obama will get another 4 years in the White House.
"I had to do something," said Zehnder.
He was opposed to Obama's re-election he stopped watching tv news coverage of the election late Tuesday night.
"I beleive in god and my country and I think we have lost both," said Zehnder.
But one of his neighbors doesn't think his flag statement is appropriate.
"I just can't beleive someone would do that,"said one neighbor.
Another neighbor thinks differently.
"I think people are upset he got another term," said another neighbor.
Zehnder says he will fly his flag upside down for the next few days.

Alycia Green, a mother of three who volunteers as a liaison between the school and parents at Moulton Elementary in Des Moines. / JOHN GAPS III/THE REGISTER
Dreamers & Doers
Why I'm doing this series
This occasional series showcases Iowa activists and their causes in a way I hope will inspire, motivate and in some cases move you to action.
Suggest subjects
If you would like to suggest an activist to be profiled, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or (515) 284-8584.
A car screeched into the parking lot of a Des Moines elementary school on Eighth Street. The worked-up driver was scolding her daughter for not leaving enough time to fix her hair.
Another woman stepped forward, introduced herself and offered to do the child's hair every day if it would help their mornings go more smoothly. It was Alycia Green's subtle way of telling the mother she was not providing an appropriate start to her child's school day. And of stepping in to help.
From her vantage point as parent ambassador at Moulton Extended Learning Center, Green sees the good and bad ways kids' days start. Sometimes she comforts. Sometimes she supports. If a parent isn't there to photograph the first day, she clicks. If someone's hair is not done, she braids. And if a kid has no winter coat, she brings one from home.
She's not a retired grandmother with all the time in the world for this. She's an active single mother to six young children, who says simply, "Children are my passion." Her six range from 3 to 14 years old, and include a nephew she adopted.
Most of the activists profiled in this series are trying to change laws, government policies, business practices or other structures. The change Green is trying to bring about is more personal. She's an activist for greater parental involvement. Because the lack of engagement is sometimes driven by working long hours to escape poverty, displacement from a home or homeland, or the absence of a structured life, it can be tougher to tackle than what happens inside a brick and mortar institution.
Green has played this role with and without a title and an office. She does it without pay. In fact sometimes she spends her own money on it.
A parent ambassador
She began volunteering as a Moulton parent five years ago. Teachers noticed how well she interacted with other parents and children, so when the non-profit Child and Family Policy Center of Iowa got funding three years ago to create parent ambassador positions at several schools, she was tapped for the job at Moulton. It came with a $50 a month stipend and a small, damp basement office. The stipend ran out a year ago, but Green continues the work.
Melissa Gradischnig Nelson, of the Child and Family Policy Center, says the program's goal was to reach out to parents at schools with high poverty rates and low test scores to help them better engage with the schools. She and Green went door to door in the neighborhood, as Green introduced herself. "Alycia always made the parents feel welcomed and we saw parent involvement rise after we hired her," says Nelson.
Parental participation has been low at Moulton, a year-round school, where over 34 percent of enrollment turns over every year, and the entire school is eligible for free or reduced price lunches. More than half the approximately 450 kids from pre-K through 8th grade are members of minority groups, many of them recent immigrants.
Some of the parents never had a formal education and don't know how to be involved in their children's, Green explains. Some feel intimidated or overwhelmed with work. Some don't speak English well and shut down, fearing the teachers won't understand them. It may be an older sibling who escorts the younger ones to school.
What kids need
Green understands all that. But she also knows firsthand how much teachers appreciate parental involvement, and how it helps children to see their parents and teachers interact. "It boosts kids' self-esteem to know, 'My parent cares enough about me to be here at the school,' " she says.
So she tries to bring parents in, whether by urging a mom who complains of a problem in her son's class to talk to the teacher, or by having prize drawings at PTA meetings.
At first she donated the prizes herself. Eventually, as the idea took off, she sought out and got in-kind donations from local vendors, like movie tickets and game arcade passes. Once there for the drawings, many parents have continued to come for the other benefits. The idea was so successful, the PTA, of which Green is treasurer, has taken over sponsorship.
There is no job description for some of the other things Green, 35, does on her own time at her own expense. If she's at a store and sees a child in a jacket that's too small and no shoes, she rushes home, fills a backpack with clothes and shoes, returns and give it to the parents. The front porch of her home always has a table stacked with stuff that people can help themselves to. If someone rings the doorbell asking for a vacuum cleaner and Green doesn't have one, she'll round one up in a day or two. She uses Facebook to send out messages about school budget cuts and meetings.
Now she's working with the Des Moines school district and Iowa State University on a project to help families create better daily routines. A lot of family stress, she observes, comes when families are rushing around without defined meal- or study- or bedtimes. Some parents never had those defined for them.
They say charity begins at home, and if you look at how Green parents her own kids, you know she lives what she preaches. Those in school are above their grade levels, involved in sports and well-behaved, notes Jill Gilmore, a kindergarten and first-grade teacher at Moulton. That's all the more impressive because Green has been raising them alone since a divorce two years ago, when her ex-husband moved to Maryland.
"At this school, it's really rare that we've got parent involvement," said Gilmore, who calls Green "one of a kind."
Learning from experience
Her empathy comes from experience. She knows what it is to manage on little. Still home with her 3-year-old, she lives off child support, an adoption subsidy and occasional substitute teaching jobs.
Constantly on the run to her kids' various activities, she understands the lure of eating dinner off a tray in front of the TV rather than around a table as a family, though she resists it. She has huge empathy for what parents are dealing with, and tries to lead by example. But she draws a line when someone takes problems out on a child. "Children will be children. They didn't ask to be here," she says. "This is where I get kind of emotional."
Motherhood can be hard, thankless, mundane, overwhelming. Society doesn't offer much support for it, nor give out awards for doing it well, though his time of year, TV ads pay lots of lip service to it. Yet whatever angle you view it from - child development, economic development, social welfare- there is nothing more important than preparing members of the next generation to be resilient and make their way in the world on a solid foundation of love, security and education.
Education is supposed to equalize income inequalities. But not only is not all education equal, not all parents are operating with the same sets of skills or experiences to ensure their kids get the most out of theirs. That's where parent-to-parent outreach from someone in the neighborhood is so valuable.
Ask Green where she gets the energy and she says, "It's just God working through me." That and, "I like to see children have a chance in life."

Written By: John Weatherford
"You're too old" is what Kenny Loggins was told when he asked a friend and business confidant about his plan to form a new band with a recent collaborator. The comment knocked the wind out of him, but not for long. He called his new friend, Gary Burr, and said, "We're going to start the band but, we need a female singer to join us." Mr. Burr knew the perfect person: Georgia Middleman. Together, they formed the Blue Sky Riders. The three singer/musician/songwriters are currently at Feinstein's Loews Regency until September 29. The show is a celebration of their CD, Finally Home, which will be released January 22, 2013.
The entire evening was composed of mostly original songs written by one or all of them, according to Mr. Loggins. The first was "I'm Feeling Brave," proving that their voices and styles are a perfect match. "Another Spring" was inspired by seeing a few green sprouts coming from the burnt forest near Mr. Loggins' California home. When he was able to take his regular bike ride after the fires had subsided, he realized that the rebirth would take another spring. It is about the time it takes to begin recovering from disasters, including those of the heart.
All the material from the evening comes from the new CD. The songs are heartfelt and tell stories of living. In "Little Victories," written by Ms. Middleman, she sings about the struggle to survive loss and accepting that each day the sun comes up, you move forward and understand the healing power of the heart ("Take it from me, little victories are all a heart needs").
We also discovered the path that led to the forming of the band. We were told wonderful stories about the thoughts bringing them mutual understanding. We were also allowed to share many of the heart moments that became lyrics that will, no doubt, become glorious individual mantras of hope.
The backup musicians left the stage and Loggins, Burr and Middleman remained to sing individual numbers that were accompanied vocally and musically by the others. One of Mr. Loggins' selections, his classic "Danny's Song," was set up with the story of his brother's letter to him in 1965 about the expectation he had of his son's birth. The audience, filled with fans, sang along with the touching lyrics. This was followed by Ms. Middleman's "Love Doesn't Come with a Contract," written for Keith Urban. Mr. Burr performed "A Thousand Wild Horses," his first recording that played on the radio and took him from being a Connecticut electrician to a Tennessee musician.
It is clear why these fine folks fell in love with each other, musically and creatively. Their new material is clever, melodic and memorable. Their old songs are thrilling and as new as when first written. They closed the show with the title song from the new CD, Finally Home.
This classic club, Feinstein's at Loews Regency, should be packed to the rafters for those lucky enough to experience this delicious new band formed by the-never-too-old Kenny Loggins.
It is clear that their voices, passion, creative merging and love of the art will make an impact on the world of music. This may well be one of the best shows in town, even for twice the money. Gather your friends and family and make reservations to see this musical adventure. I will add, hesitantly, that I would have preferred the encore number be one of their own.

OCZ launches 8GB & 16GB Memory Kits
"DDR2 kits marketed as Vista 64 Upgrade."
Published: 7th August 2008 | Source: OCZ |
Performance high capacity memory kits
OCZ announced their new 'P45 Special' 4GB modules, the module density is optimised specifically for the latest Intel chipset. They are available in 8GB dual channel kits or a special 16GB quad kit. Dr. Micheal Schuette, Vice President of Tech Development at OCZ, said the following regarding the new modules:
"64-bit operating systems are becoming more mainstream and finally enable user memory to shed the 2GB limitation of 32-bit OS," commented Dr. Michael Schuette, VP of Technology Development at OCZ Technology. "Moreover, the latest multi-core systems are capable of simultaneous execution of highly complex workloads, each commanding its own virtual memory space. In that scenario, the only way of avoiding data collision without writing back to the hard disk is the migration towards super-high memory densities."

TALLAHASSEE, Florida - Florida's falling unemployment rate is not as good as it looks, according to a state jobs report.
The jobless rate has dropped from 9.9 percent in December to 8.6 percent. But the jobs report concludes the rate is declining because so many people are dropping out of the workforce, not because they're finding jobs.
The current unemployment rate of 8.6 percent would actually be 9.5 percent if you include discouraged workers who have given up looking for jobs. People who aren't actively looking for work are not included in the workforce.
The Florida AFL-CIO says the report shows Gov. Rick Scott's policies are not causing unemployment to drop, as he has argued. AFL-CIO spokesman Rich Templin believes Scott's policies, including the rejection of federal money for high-speed rail and Medicaid, have really cost the state tens of thousands of jobs.
"The governor's policies are absolutely failing. He will not meet his pledge of 700,000 new jobs in addition to normal economic growth and it also shows us that Florida desperately needs the jobs that would be created by the Obama administration's policies were they allowed to be enacted in the state of Florida."
Gov. Scott insists the falling unemployment rate shows Florida is moving in the right direction, but concedes there's still a long way to go.
The new report comes from the Legislature's Office of Economic and Demographic Research.

Most people watching 'ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball' game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets knew that the reason the crowd suddenly erupted into cheers was because they had just found out Osama Bin Laden had been shot dead by American special forces.
The players on the field, however, had no idea. "I really didn't understand what was going on there for a minute," said Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee, whose team wound up losing 2 to 1 in 14 innings.

Society for the Study of Evolution®
Promotion of the study of organic evolution.
The Stephen Jay Gould Prize
The Stephen Jay Gould Prize is awarded annually by the Society for the Study of Evolution to recognize individuals whose sustained and exemplary efforts have advanced public understanding of evolutionary science and its importance in biology, education, and everyday life in the spirit of Stephen Jay Gould.
The winner of the 2014 Stephen Jay Gould Prize is Steve Jones of University College London. Professor J. Stephen Jones is well known in Britain and worldwide as an eloquent spokesperson for promoting the public understanding of science, particularly with regard to evolution. He has authored 11 books that have been translated into 12 languages. Among his best known popular works are The Language of Genes (1993), which won the 1994 Rhone-Poulenc Science Book Prize, Darwin's Ghost: The Origin of Species Updated (2000), which reviews Darwin's great ideas in the light of modern science, and his most recent The Serpent's Promise: The Bible Retold as Science (2013). Professor Jones is a regular contributor to radio, television and newspapers on a variety of scientific subjects, and recently appeared in a Radio 4 series on the legacy of Darwin. He has written extensively in the press on scientific issues and has a regular column in The Daily Telegraph, View from the Lab, which has appeared on more than 400 occasions since 1993. With a strong commitment to education, he has spoken directly to more than 200,000 school children, and at educational conferences. Additional awards for his writing and public outreach include the Royal Society Faraday Medal for public understanding of science in 1997, the Institute of Biology Charter Medal in 2007, the Linnaean Society Tercentenary Medal in 2008 (with Sir David Attenborough and Professor E. O. Wilson), and the Zoological Society of London Book Prize in 2009.
Professor Jones' scientific research interests overlap those of Stephen Jay Gould, with a focus on the evolutionary genetics of snail shell polymorphism. He was Head of the Department of Genetics and Biometry, UCL from 1990-1994, and again from 2008 to mid2010. He has been Vice President of the UK Genetics Society and was President of the Galton Institute from 2001-2007. Prof Jones is a Trustee and Board Member of the UK Stem Cell Foundation, the Charles Darwin Foundation, and the Society of Authors, and was President of the Association for Science Education in 2011. For these and many other contributions to the understanding of evolutionary science, it is fitting that Prof. Steve Jones receive the Gould Prize.
The 2014 Stephen Jay Gould Prize Committee:
George Gilchrist, Chair
Stephen J. Gould Prize recipients and presentations:
Nomination/Application for the 2015 Stephen J. Gould Prize are open September 1 through December 18, 2014
The Society for the Study of Evolution's Committee for the Stephen J. Gould Prize for the Improvement for the Understanding of Evolution is soliciting nominations for the Award for 2015. With this annual award the Society for the Study of Evolution recognizes, promotes, and rewards individuals who have increased public understanding of evolutionary biology and its place in modern science. The award will include a cash prize of $5,000 and the expectation that the recipient will present the Public Outreach Seminar at the Evolution Meeting (expenses for travel/lodging and registration would be covered by the SSE). The awardee should be a leader in evolutionary thought and in public outreach who can deliver an inspiring lecture for both professionals and the broader public at the 2015 meetings of the Society in Guarujá, São Paulo, Brazil.
Nominations should include the CV of the nominee along with a 1-2 page letter describing why this individual is worthy of the award.
Please send nominations via e-mail to the Chair of the Committee, George Gilchrist, at email@example.com. Please submit nominees by December 18. 2014. All nominations will be treated confidentially and will be evaluated by members of the Committee and the Council for the Society. An awardee will be announced in early February.
