Mutants: On Genetic Variety and the Human Body
By Armand Marie Leroi
Stopover at Armand Marie Leroi on the net: http://armandleroi.com/index.html
Stepping without problems from delusion to state-of-the-art technology, Mutants offers an excellent narrative account of our genetic code and the alluring humans whose our bodies have published it—a French convent woman who stumbled on herself altering intercourse at puberty; teenagers who, echoing Homer's Cyclops, are born with a unmarried eye in the midst of their foreheads; a village of long-lived Croatian dwarves; one relatives, whose our bodies have been solely lined with hair, used to be saved on the Burmese royal court docket for 4 generations and gave Darwin one in all his keenest insights into heredity. This dependent, humane, and interesting publication "captures what we all know of the improvement of what makes us human" (Nature).
Poison Spring: The Secret History of Pollution and the EPA
By E.G. Vallianatos
When you order a meal in a restaurant, you won't locate malathion, kelthane or arsenic indexed at the menu as an element of your entrée, yet those and rankings of alternative insecticides and hazardous chemical compounds are within the nutrition we consume. they're dumped into the surroundings the place they seep into our water provide and waft within the air we breathe. using those poisons is approved--or now and again, easily ignored--by the Environmental defense company.
Poison Spring records, in devastating element, the EPA's corruption and misuse of technological know-how and public belief. In its half-century of lifestyles, the company has again and again bolstered the chemical-industrial complicated by means of endorsing lethal chemical substances, botching box investigations, turning a blind eye to poisonous mess ups, and swallowing the self-serving claims of undefined. E. G. Vallianatos, who observed the EPA from the interior for greater than 20 years with emerging dismay, unearths in Poison Spring how the organization has allowed our lands and waters to be poisoned with extra poisonous chemical substances than ever. nobody who cares for the wildlife, or for the overall healthiness of destiny generations, can forget about this robust exposé.
Greenhouse of the Dinosaurs: Evolution, Extinction, and the Future of Our Planet
By Donald R. Prothero
Donald R. Prothero's technological know-how books mix best learn with first-person narratives of discovery, injecting heat and familiarity right into a career that has a lot to supply nonspecialists. Bringing his trademark variety and wit to an more and more proper topic of outrage, Prothero hyperlinks the weather adjustments that experience happened over the last two hundred million years to their results on vegetation and animals. specifically, he contrasts the extinctions that ended the Cretaceous interval, which burnt up the dinosaurs, with these of the later Eocene and Oligocene epochs.
Prothero starts with the "greenhouse of the dinosaurs," the global-warming episode that ruled the Age of Dinosaurs and the early Age of Mammals. He describes the outstanding creatures that after populated the earth and attracts on his reviews amassing fossils within the great Badlands of South Dakota to cartoon their international. Prothero then discusses the expansion of the 1st Antarctic glaciers, which marked the Eocene-Oligocene transition, and stocks his personal anecdotes of excavations and controversies between colleagues that experience formed our knowing of the modern and prehistoric international.
The quantity concludes with observations approximately Nisqually Glacier and different destinations that exhibit how worldwide warming is occurring a lot swifter than formerly envisioned, irrevocably altering the stability of the earth's thermostat. attractive scientists and normal readers alike, Greenhouse of the Dinosaurs connects occasions throughout hundreds of thousands of millennia to clarify the human possibility to typical weather change.
Fixing My Gaze: A Scientist's Journey Into Seeing in Three Dimensions
By Susan R. Barry
When neuroscientist Susan Barry was once fifty years previous, she took an unforgettable journey to ny. As she emerged from the dim mild of the subway into the light, she observed a view of town that she had witnessed again and again some time past yet now observed in an astonishingly new manner. Skyscrapers on road corners seemed to loom out towards her just like the bows of big ships. Tree branches projected upward and outward, enclosing and commanding palpable volumes of house. Leaves created difficult mosaics in 3D. With each one look, she skilled the deliriously novel feel of immersion in a 3 dimensional world.
Barry were cross-eyed and stereoblind due to the fact that early infancy. After part a century of perceiving her atmosphere as flat and compressed, on that day she was once seeing long island in stereo intensity for first time in her lifestyles. As a neuroscientist, she understood simply how outstanding this modification used to be, not just for herself yet for the medical realizing of the human mind. Scientists have lengthy believed that the mind is malleable purely in the course of a "critical interval" in early adolescence. based on this concept, Barry's mind had prepared itself while she used to be a child to prevent double imaginative and prescient – and there has been no option to rewire it as an grownup. yet Barry chanced on an optometrist who prescribed a little-known software of imaginative and prescient remedy; after extensive education, Barry used to be finally in a position to accomplish what different scientists or even she herself had as soon as thought of impossible.
A revelatory account of the brain's ability for switch, Fixing My Gaze describes Barry's notable trip and celebrates the joyous excitement of our senses.
Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny
By Robert Wright
In his bestselling The ethical Animal, Robert Wright utilized the rules of evolutionary biology to the examine of the human brain. Now Wright makes an attempt anything much more bold: explaining the path of evolution and human history–and discerning the place historical past will lead us next.
In Nonzero: The good judgment of Human Destiny, Wright asserts that, ever because the primordial ooze, lifestyles has a simple development. Organisms and human societies alike have grown extra complicated by means of studying the demanding situations of inner cooperation. Wright's narrative levels from fossilized micro organism to vampire bats, from stone-age villages to the realm exchange association, uncovering such surprises because the merits of barbarian hordes and the necessary balance of feudalism. this is heritage endowed with ethical significance–a manner of our organic and cultural evolution that means, refreshingly, that human morality has better through the years, and that our intuition to find which means may possibly itself serve the next function. Insightful, witty, profound, Nonzero deals breathtaking implications for what we think and the way we adapt to technology's ongoing transformation of the realm.
Why Evolution Is True
By Jerry A. Coyne
"Coyne's wisdom of evolutionary biology is prodigious, his deployment of it as masterful as his contact is light." -Richard Dawkins
within the present debate approximately creationism and clever layout, there's a component of the debate that's not often mentioned-the facts. but the evidence of evolution through usual choice is large, diversified, and sumptuous. during this succinct and available precis of the proof assisting the idea of normal choice, Jerry A. Coyne dispels universal misunderstandings and fears approximately evolution and obviously confirms the clinical fact that helps this striking means of swap. Weaving jointly the numerous threads of recent paintings in genetics, paleontology, geology, molecular biology, and anatomy that display the "indelible stamp" of the tactics first proposed via Darwin, Why Evolution Is True doesn't objective to turn out creationism unsuitable. particularly, through the use of irrefutable proof, it units out to turn out evolution correct.
Science Set Free: 10 Paths to New Discovery
By Rupert Sheldrake
The bestselling writer of Dogs That be aware of whilst Their proprietors Are Coming Home bargains an fascinating new evaluation of contemporary day technology that might transform the way in which we view what's possible.
In Science Set Free (originally released to acclaim in the united kingdom as The technology Delusion), Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, one of many world's such a lot cutting edge scientists, exhibits the ways that technological know-how is being constricted via assumptions that experience, through the years, hardened into dogmas. Such dogmas will not be in basic terms restricting, but dangerous for the way forward for humanity.
According to those ideas, all of truth is fabric or actual; the realm is a laptop, made from inanimate subject; nature is purposeless; realization is not anything however the actual task of the mind; unfastened will is an phantasm; God exists basically as an concept in human minds, imprisoned inside our skulls.
But may still technology be a belief-system, or a style of enquiry? Sheldrake exhibits that the materialist ideology is moribund; less than its sway, more and more dear study is reaping diminishing returns whereas societies around the globe are paying the cost.
In the skeptical spirit of actual technology, Sheldrake turns the 10 basic dogmas of materialism into fascinating questions, and exhibits how them all open up startling new probabilities for discovery.
Science Set Free will seriously change your view of what's genuine and what's possible.

The Structure of Scientific Revolutions: 50th Anniversary Edition
By Thomas S. Kuhn
A reliable e-book can have the facility to alter the way in which we see the realm, yet an excellent e-book really turns into a part of our day-by-day realization, pervading our considering to the purpose that we take it without any consideration, and we disregard how provocative and difficult its rules as soon as were—and nonetheless are. The constitution of clinical Revolutions is that sort of e-book. while it used to be first released in 1962, it was once a landmark occasion within the background and philosophy of technological know-how. Fifty years later, it nonetheless has many classes to teach.
With The constitution of medical Revolutions, Kuhn challenged long-standing linear notions of clinical growth, arguing that transformative principles don't come up from the daily, slow technique of experimentation and information accumulation yet that the revolutions in technological know-how, these leap forward moments that disrupt authorised considering and supply unanticipated principles, happen open air of "normal science," as he referred to as it. notwithstanding Kuhn was once writing while physics governed the sciences, his rules on how clinical revolutions deliver order to the anomalies that amass over the years in study experiments are nonetheless instructive in our biotech age.
This new version of Kuhn's crucial paintings within the background of technological know-how comprises an insightful creation via Ian Hacking, which clarifies phrases popularized via Kuhn, together with paradigm and incommensurability, and applies Kuhn's principles to the technological know-how of at the present time. Usefully keyed to the separate sections of the e-book, Hacking's advent offers vital history info in addition to a modern context. Newly designed, with an extended index, this variation could be eagerly welcomed through the subsequent iteration of readers trying to comprehend the background of our views on science.

text: MISHAWAKA -- One day Evan Forslund was playing baseball with his friends. The next, he was lying in a hospital bed wondering if he'd ever play again. A diving accident at a friend's pool changed his summer, and almost his life. Three fractured bones in Forslund's neck put his future as Mishawaka High School's catcher for this, his senior year, in doubt. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound left-handed-hitting Forslund arrived on the Cavemen scene as a JV second baseman as a freshman. Once coaches saw his strong arm, he was moved to third, a position where he played varsity as a sophomore. Midway through his sophomore year, he was sent to the JV team to learn how to be a catcher. "We needed somebody who could throw out runners," Cavemen varsity coach John Huemmer said. "We wanted to prepare for the future." "I didn't like it at first," Forslund said of the position switch. "There was a lot to learn. You take a beating blocking the ball." The transition went well. Once versed on the mechanics, Forslund flourished. Besides being a strong defensive asset behind the plate, Forslund hit .420 for the season -- tying the school record with 14 doubles -- and .490 in Northern Indiana Conference games. He was selected as the first-team all-NIC catcher. In early July, the weekend before Forslund played with his American Legion Post 161 team in the sectional, Forslund dove too far in a friend's pool and hit the other side. "My arms were tingling," Forslund said. "I knew something was wrong. I knew it was bad. I didn't want to get out of the pool, but I knew I had to." A short hospital stay was followed by three months in a neck brace. "I couldn't drive (from July to October)," Forslund said. "That was hard. I had always slept on my stomach. Now, I had to lie flat and sleep on my back. You take little things for granted when you go through something like that." The recuperation period was a success. When x-rays were taken in October, doctors were amazed. "They couldn't even tell where the fractures were," Forslund said proudly. "They had to compare x-rays. I was given a complete release." Extensive physical therapy strengthened the neck muscles. Regular weight room work kept everything else strong. He was given a release to get ready for this season. "Catcher is a (physically) demanding position," Huemmer said. "Any injury to a catcher is difficult to recover from." "I still have stiffness in my neck," Forslund said. "I'm restricted a little bit turning my head from side to side, but that's getting better." What's the biggest problem? "Pop-ups," Forslund said. "Moving my head quickly to find the ball is hard. I guess it will just come with time." As the season gets started, Huemmer hasn't seen Forslund's confidence waiver. But the backstop did admit to some trepidation. "I still haven't had that first collision," Forslund said. "There were a couple plays (at the plate in the season-opener at Goshen earlier this week), but the runner slid off to the side. It was something I tried not to think about, but it did come into my mind." As the healing process -- mental and physical -- continues, Forslund's immediate future is set. Next fall, he will take his 3.0 GPA to Lincoln Trail Junior College in Robinson, Ill., just west of Terre Haute. It will be a two-year audition for a Division I opportunity. "I was excited to get that taken care of," Forslund said of his collegiate plans. "It's a great situation." It's an opportunity he refuses to take for granted.

I have been a Calgary Wedding Photographer for the past 10+ years and on average shoot around 20 weddings a year. Most Calgary Wedding Photographers offer an engagement session to couples either as an add-on or part of their coverage. I try to keep these sessions informal and fun. Actually, I try to keep all my photography that way, but even more so with engagement sessions where I am often trying to convince the skeptical groom that being photographed can be a good time. There are some key pointers/suggestions that I make to couples who are planning a session. For now I'll talk a bit about the various different seasons of the year and how they work for engagement sessions or any portrait session for that matter. I realise not all readers are in Calgary or even Alberta, so please keep in mind that this advice is specific this part of the world.
I won't sugar coat it, planning a winter engagement session in Calgary is usually and exercise in patience. There are very few days during the winter where there is fresh snow on the ground but it's not -20 or snowing sideways. Some of the best wedding photographers in Calgary know "winter" shoots usually work better in the mountains where snowpack is more consistent and the weather is sometimes a bit more moderate. I spend a lot of time in the mountains and calling me a Banff Wedding Photographer wouldn't be too much of a stretch. Some years I do more weddings in the mountains than I do in the city. I have photographed quite a few winter weddings at Lake Louise and it is usually pretty reliable for snow. Banff photographers also struggle with a lack of snow at times too, so best to check out the webcams first and make sure there is actually some snow on the ground before driving out. Having said all that, if you do time a winter session right it can be really amazing, so worth the hassle.
My favourite two times of the year for engagement session in Calgary are early summer and early fall. Calgary photographers know that June typically starts off great and ends up wet, so you might not want to plan anything too late into June. Fall is in my opinion the best time of the year for an engagement session or Family Photography session in Calgary. As we move into September the light gets better and the fall colour starts to appear. The season typically peaks around the end of September, when the leaves come down, but October can be really nice too some years.
My least favourite time of the year in Calgary is April, it is basically really ugly. The unsung hero though for me is November. Not every November works out, but more often that not there is a week of weather where the temps are warm and there isn't much wind. If you can plan on getting out to do your shoot in the late afternoon there are some perfect sunsets. It has an amazing California look to it. Have fun!

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- First Bancorp FBP, +0.11% Friday said its total loans receivable before the allowance for loan losses stood at roughly $12.7 billion as of Dec. 31, up from $9.7 billion at that time a year ago. The company attributed the increase to an additional $1.4 billion in commercial and construction loans, an increase of about $360 million in consumer and automobile loans and an increase of roughly $1.3 billion in residential real estate loans. Also, the company said its audit committee has concluded all transactions related to pass-through certificates from R&G Premier Bank, a unit of R&G Financial Corp. RGF, +0.00% were not "true sales" as a legal matter or for accounting purposes. The committee determined the certificates, which represent roughly $220 million in mortgages, will now be classified as secured commercial loans. In relation to these loans, First Bancorp recorded loan loss reserves of $110,000. The company added that the audit committee's ongoing review of mortgage-related transactions is nearing completion.

The Republic of Sierra Leone is located on the West Coast of Africa, between latitudes 7° and 10° north and longitudes 10.5° and 13° west. The Republic of Guinea is to the north and northeast; Liberia is to the east and southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean on the west and south. It has 300 miles of coastline. From an approximate 70-mile coastal belt of low-lying land, the country rises to a mountain plateau near the eastern frontier rising 1219.2 m to 1828.8 m with a rich forest region. The Western Area encompasses the Freetown Peninsula, on which the capital and main commercial centre of Freetown stands; is 24 miles long and 10 miles wide. A mountainous peninsula, that rises in places to 92 m above sea level – one of the few parts of the West African Coast where there is high land so near the sea. Where the lush green forest spills down hillsides to meet the most beautiful white sandy beaches along the Atlantic Ocean.
This 27,925 square mile (73,326 sq. km) country has a population of approximately seven (7) million people. Sierra Leone is divided into four main Provinces, West, North, East and South. There are twelve Districts in the entire country. Most of the country is underlain by rocks of Precambrian age (Archaean and Proterozoic) with a coastal strip about 50 km in width comprising marine and estuarine sediments of Tertiary and Quaternary to Recent Age.
The Precambrian (mainly Archaean) outcrops over about 75% of the country and typically comprises granite-greenstone terrain. It represents parts of an ancient continental nuclei located on the edge of the West African Craton. Regional reconnaissance mapping indicates that the Archaean basement can be subdivided into infracrustal rocks (gneisses and granitoids); supracrustal rocks (containing greenstone belts); and basic and ultrabasic igneous intrusions. The infracrustal gneisses and granitoids were formed and reworked during two major orogenic cycles, an older Leonean episode (~2,950-3,200 Ma) and a younger Liberian episode (~2,700 Ma).
The Leonean orogenic episode commenced with the intrusion of a basic igneous suite (the Pre-Leonean amphibolites) and by the formation of a greenstone belt represented by the Loko Group which is now deeply eroded. The Loko Group comprises amphibolites, silimanite quartzites and ironstones. It appears to have formed on a gneiss/granitoid basement in which several granitoid bodies related to an earlier plutonic orogenic episode have been distinguished mainly in the northern part of the country. Only the main deformational phase of the Leonean orogenic episode which resulted in folds and fabrics trending east-west has been distinguished. Minor gold and cassiterite mineralization associated with portions of the Loko Group is probably related to a late Leonean granitization event which accompanied the formation of major shear zones in the craton. Other volcano-sedimentary sequences are preserved within the granites, gneisses and migmatites. Highly folded greenstone belts predominate in the north and central Sierra Leone.
In the southeast, the metamorphic facies increases, first with the Kambui Schists and finally with the Mano-Moa Granulites. Greenstone belts of the Kambui Supergroup are believed to have been deposited upon a post-Leonean basement and accompany by basic to ultrabasic intrusives. The Kambui Supergroup includes most of the schist belts exposed in the Sula Mountains and the Kangari, Kambui, Nimini and Gori Hills; the Marampa Group; and the two small greenstone belts of Serekolia and Sankarama in the northeast. These greenstone belts comprise a lower volcanic unit composed of ultrabasic lavas and basic lavas with pillow layers, overlain by a sedimentary unit comprising tuffs, pelitic and psammitic sediments, with conglomerate layers and ironstone bands. The greenstone belts are the principal hosts of the gold mineralisation of the country. Other associated mineral deposits include molybdenite, columbite-tantalite, chromite and possible nickel and copper.
The Marampa Group, bounded on its eastern margin by a tectonic contact, is important for its iron-ore deposits and forms the upper part of the Kambui Group. Late Liberian granitoids, marginal to, and within, the Kambui Supergroup are associated with important zones of shearing and deformation where gold, sulphide and molybdenite mineralization has been concentrated. The Rokel-Kasila Zone bounds the main part of the West African Craton on its west and south-western margin in Sierra Leone, and appears to form part of a north-south orogenic belt. Within this belt, the Marampa Group appears to represent some of the oldest rocks.
The Kasila Group is a distinctive group of mafic gneisses and granulites, trending NW–SE, flanking amphibolites emplaced along the western margin of the West African Craton. It comprises the main outcrop of crystalline schists, gneisses and granulites of the Liberian complex. The unit is bounded on the east by intrusive granites whilst on the west; it is overlain by sediments, sands and clays of Pleistocene to recent age. The lithology of the Kasila Group is dominated by fine- to medium-grained basic granulites with minor horizons of quartz magnetite, quartz diopside, and silimanite rocks. The granulites are intruded by deformed gabbros, anorthosites, and ultramafics in which relict igneous textures have survived the Pan- African reworking in zones where shearing was less intense. The Kasila Group comprises of siliceous gneisses with lesser amounts of charnockites, garnet-hornblende gneisses, garnet-plagioclase gneisses and minor hornblendite and pyroxenite. Protoliths probably included basalt along with siliciclastic and chemical sedimentary rocks metamorphosed to granulite and almandine–amphibolite facies.
The western portion of the group is predominantly amphibolites, gneisses and metasedimentary migmatites, whereas the eastern portion is metabasic and subordinate metasedimentary granulites containing thin layers and lenses of banded iron formation, quartzite and leucogabbro. The Kasila Group, also considered to be part of the Kambui Supergroup, comprises a high-grade series of granulites, consisting of garnet, hypersthene and hornblende gneisses, quartzites and associated migmatites. When eroded, significant secondary deposition of titanium minerals have been formed from this unit as well as bauxitization which is as a result of weathering process.
A late Precambrian to Cambrian sedimentary and volcanic assemblage, the Rokel River Group, was deposited unconformably on a basement complex. Deposition was probably in a fault-bounded basin of the intracratonic type along the line of the Rokel-Kasila Group following the formation of the tectonic zone at the end of the Liberian or during the Eburnean Orogeny. The Rokel River Group and the Kasila Group to the west were deformed during the Rokelides orogenic episode (~550 Ma). Deformation increased in intensity westwards.
The Saionya Scarp Group forms a small ingression into Sierra Leone in the northwest of the country, and is composed of horizontally-bedded arkoses, grits and shales with intruded dolerite sills. The group appears to belong to that part of the Gres Horizontaux of Guinea which has been classified as Ordovician, based on the discovery of the graptolites Monograptus riccartonensis and Monograptus priodon in shales near Telimele. In Sierra Leone, the Saionya Scarp Group rests on The Rokel River Group. Dolerite intrusions are common as dykes trending mainly east-west within the basement complex, and as extensive sills above the Rokel River Group.
The Freetown igneous complex forms an intrusive body on the coast, with arcuate outcrop concave towards the west. It is composed of a layered complex of gabbro, norite, troctolite and anorthosite. Platinum occurs in the gravels of many of the streams that cut the outcrops of anorthosite and anorthositic gabbro in the noritic gabbro complex of the Freetown Peninsula. The relation of this complex with the other units is obscured by the coastal veneer of Tertiary sediments of the Bullom Group which lies unconformably on the basement. Tertiary and more recent weathering has led to lateritization across a large part of Sierra Leone, affecting mainly the greenstone belts and the extensive dolerite intrusions.

XML is the latest facet of government IT processing to be encompassed by e-GIF, the e-government interoperability framework.
The State Service Commission plans a survey of all XML schemas currently in use in government agencies and what they're used for, and will follow this with a framework to achieve better interoperability in the use of XML in New Zealand government, says SSC spokesman Jason Ryan.
The bulk of this "XML governance" exercise is to be done by a yet-to-be-appointed advisory group, but as part of the initial scoping step, vendors who deal with XML have been asked to a two-hour forum to give an account of what they have achieved in working with government agencies.
"The forum: is not commercial and will not lead to commercial advantage for any participants," says the invitation, posted on the government electronic tenders service (GETS) website.
"All the information generated will be shared throughout the industry. People who attend need to have the technical knowledge to participate [The forum] is a venue for people to get involved and give freely of their time, knowledge and experience."
The forum will be held on July 25, starting at 12 noon, in the SSC's Wellington head office.
The advisory group is expected to be in place by late next month, says the SSC's Ryan.

Another Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper's name has been added to Santa's naughty list, thanks to some tenacious investigative reporting by an area newspaper.
On Thursday, Dec. 22, The Tennessean reported that Sgt. Gregory R. Badacour – who in August 2004 was arrested for filming people having sex at a local lookout point – was given a one-day suspension for his actions, and is still working as a patrol officer at the state Capitol.
According to The Tennessean , Badacour pleaded guilty to filming one couple and was placed on probation, while his police file says he filmed at least nine other couples. He also admitted to clicking on a child pornography Web site link on a computer.
However, his record with THP only mentions the one guilty plea, despite being informed by the local police of the other incidents, The Tennessean reported.
Although Badacour does have a criminal record, he's certainly not the only one in THP. The Tennessean found that 48 of the state's more than 800 troopers had some type of charges on their criminal record, including felony charges and suspended driver's licenses. The paper also found that two-thirds of all officers in the patrol had made some sort of campaign contribution, and about half of those were promoted over troopers with better test scores.
The investigation eventually led to the resignation of three higher-ups in the patrol, including Lynn Pitts, former head of the patrol, who resigned after the criminal record bombshell was dropped by the newspaper.
After stepping down, Pitts also fingered Deputy Gov. Dave Cooley – the second in command in the state's government – saying he was involved in cronyism and was often consulted when it came time for high-level promotions within THP.
Additionally, The Tennessean also uncovered the story of Jerry Dean Watson – a former "trooper of the year" – who'd been convicted of a felony and resigned from the Highway Patrol in November 2001, only to be hired back in January 2003.
His crime? Forging a judge's signature to get out of a speeding ticket.
The Tennessean's probe of the patrol has been an ongoing topic of interest for the newspaper. Less than six months ago, an investigative series uncovered corruption in THP's "honorary captain" program, which eventually led to its government-ordered shutdown.
State officials have not taken The Tennessean's investigations lightly. After Watson's rehiring was uncovered earlier this week, Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen ordered background checks on all 800-plus Highway Patrol officers.

California, Yosemite Valley, Glacier Point Apron
On September 26, 1993, at 1350 Gleed Toombes (41) took a 25 foot leader fall while climbing a route called the Green Dragon on the Glacier Point Apron. Toombes was flipped upside down by his tripping over his climbing rope causing him to hit the back of his head. Toombes was lowered by a bystander who witnessed the fall.
On scene at 1410, I contacted the conscious, disoriented patient with obvious head trauma. Patient received immediate medical care provided by Park Medic Jacobi who arrived on scene at 1415.
Due to stat trauma and mechanism of injury, patient was packaged for short haul evacuation. SAR team, led by SAR Officers Dill and Ingram, was in charge of short haul preparations. Patient was short hauled to the Ahwahnee Meadow at 1455 where he was met by Dr. Bill Bouie, who provided patient with advance life support on scene at the meadow. Patient was loaded on to Medi Flight and flown out at 1538. (Source: Mary Litell, NPS Ranger, Yosemite National Park)
According to his climbing partner, Brian Trask, Toombes is a 5.11 climber. He was leading this 5.11b, had clipped into the last bolt and was heading for the anchor when he popped off a thin friction move.
One of two climbers nearby, Jeff Davis, assisted Trask in lowering Toombes to the ground. While this saved a significant amount of time, it was risky considering the injury. Toombes had been unconscious for eight minutes and blood was coming out of his right ear. Surgeons thought he might die on the operating table.
The fact that SAR were already at the cache, that they could drive to within 200 yards of the climb, and that Toombes was already on the ground enabled quick stabilization and transport to the ER in Modesto. Toombes seems to be recovering without a significant deficit. (Source: John Dill, SAR Ranger, Yosemite National Park)

Organizing for a disaster
April 5, 2007
If a major disaster strikes the State of Pennsylvania, would you be willing to help out? If you have the desire - and the needed skills - the state health department wants to hear from you. According to The Associated Press, Congress authorized all 50 states to develop volunteer registries following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the subsequent mailing of anthrax-laden letters. The registries were designed mainly as a way to determine how many health-care providers states could call on, but the law also allows states to sign up those with other abilities.

'Disaster' decision might help some farmers in area
August 28, 2007
The USDA declared Maryland a drought disaster area last week. Officials said the designation will help provide assistance and financial relief to Maryland farmers affected by the severe dry weather and excessive heat from June 1 through the summer months. "It just makes more money available for farmers that can't get a loan from a conventional source, which actually in a disaster situation, that's going to hurt them so more people might really be eligible," said Colleen Cashell, executive director of USDA's Farm Service Agency in Washington County.

"The program provides $16 million in benefits to dairy producers across the country for dairy production losses that occurred between Jan. 1, 2005, and Dec. 31, 2007, because of natural disasters," Cashell said.
Red Cross urges people to make disaster kits

September 17, 2002
firstname.lastname@example.com Following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the idea of being prepared for emergencies - big or small - has never seemed more important, according to the Red Cross. "The Washington County Chapter of the American Red Cross is suggesting that families prepare an emergency disaster supplies kit," said Cindy Kline, director of disaster services. Not a new idea with the American Red Cross, the push has been on since last Wednesday, when President Bush approved raising the level of civilian alert from code yellow to code orange - the highest level imposed since the alert system was established in March.

Preparedness in the Park hopes to teach people to be ready for any disaster

Verna Brown's advice is like an umbrella. When the sun is shining and everyone's smiling, it's easy to think "Life is good." But if you're caught outside in a slashing storm, you'll wish you'd planned ahead. And if you're caught in a natural disaster, you'll really wish you'd planned ahead. Getting you to plan ahead is Brown's job. She is Washington County's emergency management coordinator. "The word 'disaster' is misleading," Brown said. "I like to tell citizens you're preparing for your average, everyday-type emergencies, even if you're at home." Brown is co-organizer of the first Preparedness in the Park, a community event to encourage citizens of all ages to prepare for trouble - natural disasters, house fires, power blackouts, neighborhood evacuations - all kinds of trouble.

Do you have a disaster plan?
May 2, 2013
Whether it's an explosion, flooding or a tornado, there are three basic things you need to be prepared for any emergency: a plan, supplies and information. First, develop an extensive plan so you and your family know what they're going to do in any situation. Second, have a kit that provides basic needs, water and nonperishable food items for a minimum of 72 hours and includes any items for any family member, like a child or an older adult, who has special needs. Third, constantly monitor what is going on so you stay informed.
Letter to the Editor - Nov. 22

Obama is steering country toward an economic disaster To the editor: I had to shake my head over Allan Powell's comments concerning Obama's re-election. " America has just been given a wonderful gift ," he wrote. Powell really can't be serious. He goes on to say that Obama's victory is a mandate to move forward. Well, I hate to burst Powell's bubble, but Obama only received 50 percent of the popular vote. To me, that means this country is still seriously divided over the direction we as a nation should be taking.
Martinsburg South Middle School overrun by 'Walking Dead'
By MATTHEW UMSTEAD | email@example.com
June 8, 2012
Splotched with fake blood, green and white paint and torn clothes, friends Sean Shearer and Jacob Pauley say they dress in costume every chance they get. But the "Zombie Attack" Friday at Martinsburg South Middle School was no ordinary opportunity. They were among more than 140 people to be screened in the first 20 minutes of the Berkeley County Health Department's zombie-themed, disaster-training exercise, incident commander Vickie Greenfield said. About one third of the people screened were first responders who then treated the gorily-dressed volunteers who took part in the emergency drill, organizers said.
Closure of Frederick Mail Processing Facility 'utter disaster,' according to director of union organization
By HEATHER KEELS | email@example.com
March 10, 2012
The Christmas decorations were beginning to come down, the gifts long unwrapped and Thanksgiving dinner a distant memory when mail carrier Mike Shoop put Kohl's department store's Black Friday ads in the mailboxes on his route. "Dec. 28 I was casing these, and it was clearly marked on the pieces that they should have been in homes Nov. 19, 21 or 22," he said. According to area residents, businesses and postal workers, delays of this sort have become common in recent months, and Shoop and other postal workers say they know why. The November closure of the Frederick, Md., Mail Processing and Distribution Facility, which resulted in mail to and from 217- ZIP codes being sent to Baltimore to be sorted, has been an "utter disaster," overwhelming the Baltimore plant and leading to mail delays of, in some cases, more than a month, said Richard Shelley, who works at the Baltimore Processing and Distribution Facility and serves as director of organization for American Postal Workers Union 181. Shoop, a Hagerstown resident, worked at the Frederick processing center until it closed, then found a job as a carrier in another 217- ZIP code community.
Disaster declaration could help Washington County
By ANDREW SCHOTZ | firstname.lastname@example.com
September 2, 2011
Although Washington County was largely spared from Hurricane Irene damage last weekend, it will be included in an emergency declaration for Maryland counties affected by the storm. Kevin Lewis, the county's director of Emergency Services, said the county helped other parts of the state cope with the hurricane. Seven firefighters from Funkstown and Hancock helped Ocean City firefighters in Wicomico County from Saturday to Monday. And a three-person, swift-water rescue team with Washington County's Special Operations unit went to Baltimore County, then was called to help in Cecil County on Sunday, Lewis said.
Mock disaster prepares emergency crews for the real thing
By KATE S. ALEXANDER | firstname.lastname@example.com
May 23, 2011
A smoldering vehicle protruded from the side of a passenger plane. Bodies, supposedly ejected from the aircraft, peppered the airport's east apron while the flight crew and passengers remained trapped inside the plane. An employee lay on the ground at the Rider Jet Center with a bullet wound to the head as the person allegedly responsible fled on foot. Across the rain-soaked tarmac, firefighters, police and rescue workers swarmed to secure the scene, to sort and treat the wounded, and to extinguish flames.

The Devil has fascinated Christians since the time of the New Testament, and inspired many haunting works of art. This Very Short Introduction looks at the Devil in the history of ideas and in the lives of real people. Darren Oldridge shows us that the Devil is an important figure in western history--a richly complex and contradictory one. Oldridge focuses on three main themes: the idea of the Devil being integral to western thought from the early Middle Ages to the beginnings of modernity; the belief that the Devil represents the mirror image of goodness; and the multiplicity and instability of ideas about the Devil. Oldridge concludes by exploring "demonological" ways of thinking in our own time, including allegations of "satanic ritual abuse."

Thursday, 20th of November, 2003:I added a bit of the "continental" to my site today. Check
my "French Argument" page to see what Im on about! (WARNING: Never let your mother eat a French guy's donkeys!
They may get angry!). "What else happened to "Jennerz Your God" today" I hear you cry! Well...Dear sweet Katie ruined
me by skipping off into the sunset with my ex. No doubt about that. Not only did they not care, but they lasted less than
a week before Katie "saw the light" and left him. Little did she know, that "light" was just a train in the entrance to the
tunnel, heading straight for her. Don't know what I mean?! Nah, neither do I really, but I do know that she thinks im gonna
forget about it all and forget about all the crap ive been through over her for the last few days. Ive been grounded, Ive
been in arguments, my family have done a "Freeze Out" thing on me, Ive been on a protest (though that was about George Bush,
so not really relevant in this case).Oh yeah, I went a-protesting yesterday. It was in Sheffield, where Jennerz
Your God is from, and it was pretty cool. Basically, it was walking around town chanting about getting rid of Tony
Blair and George Bush. Vice-God Libby and Vice-Vice-God Sofia Lauren went also, as did Sam
and his (overly fit) brother, Matt. "Fun times!" (-
TM of Vic!)PS: I miss James.
Sunday, 30th of November, 2003Its
nearly Ye Olde Christmas (oh joy(!)). Don't get me wrong, its cool an' all, but its a bit over-rated nowadays. And as
a "christmas treat", we have to do stupid "country dancing" in pe. Looks like im booking my time off for then.... Also
happening - Check the new page, "The New Matrix". Written by and starring myself and Vice-Vice-God Lauren, mostly VVG Lauren
(and she wrote it out). Its kinda fun, and shows our enemies what we really think of 'em (We wanna kick their ass, Matrix
Sunday, 7th of December, 2003I
can't believe that I forgot to tell you about the greatness of the newest album that I bought!!! Shame on me!! Ok, weeell,
its Rage Against The Machine - Live At The Grand Olympic Auditorium and it just rocks arse! Unless you own
this album, you have no idea how utterly fab it is!!! Aw man its so muchly good!!! Its the last gig they did, recorded and
put on CD (and im getting the DVD soon also!) Its just the best thing since sliced bread..."and sliced bread was pretty darn
great!" (-Quote of Gay Boy Rob). oh Jesus wept! (I can't say "Oh My God" anymore you see) I hate Rob, stupid
Sea Cucumber lover (name courtesy of Vice God Lib). Hes such a..a...a...LETTUCE! (name also courtesy of VG Lib). i mean, what
IS his point in life?! To annoy me?! Well, thats everyone else on this planets aim, so why should he be different eh!? I proper
hate him, and I need anger management whenever Im near him. Man hes such a piece of salad! Ah well, me and
Vice God Lib'll have fun plotting his sweet sweet murder. Mwahahaaa!PS: RAGE RULE!
Tuesday, 9th of December, 2003HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAUREN
Saturday, 13th of December, 2003Ok
Louise! Keep your wig on! OK, I'll admit! I havnt wrote in my God Log for some time, but, as its lil ol' you, I'll put something.
Don't blame me if its crap "news", but nothings happened recently! ("Breaking news, breaking news, breaking news... with our man at the scene..." "Hello"... *he falls
backwards*) Basically, ive done nothing but add a new tribute to my site for Vice God Libby, finish all my coursework
for maths at a rushed rate, and also sat and watched a none-stop Dare To believe then Blackadder marathon. Happy now?! Your
full of boring knowledge about my week! Actually, some of that information was quite interesting. Dare
To Believe is so funny!! People, you MUST watch it! Its on ITV1, Thursday nights at around 1:45am!
Jennerz Your God COMANDS you to watch it!!! Its totally rules! The best bits to watch out for are "The Bicycle Box/ Man" and
"Jimmy The Jab". Its so good! And Vice God Lib agrees!! I'll leave you with some advice from the great programme itself...: Fly like a mouse.... Run like a cushion... BE
the small bookcase! ("I'd be much obliged... much obliged....")
Monday, 15th of December, 2003Urm... nothing much has
happened, but V.G Lib advertised Jennerz Your God today by writing my worship details on the whiteboard in Chemistry. Happy
days. Also, I think a guy that I know has suddenly started to become fit! I mean, where did THAT come from!! Very weird me
thinks. But still, life goes on eh.
Sunday, 21st of December, 2003Gotta say HAPPY BIRTHDAY
to some peeps, so here goes:Lauren - 15th, Laura - 19th and Vicz - 20th. Happy Birthday dudes.Anywho, back in the
real world (TM of VG Lib) its nearly Christmas, Ive broke up from school AND ive only had two fights! So, things ARE looking
up! I fear that GB heard me diss her yesterday. Sorry, did I say "fear"? I meant "hope"! "Oh watch me shake in my shoes(!)"
Its sheer pathetico (Another TM of Lib... shes on a roll!) ("Lets roll")oh and by the way, WATCH LOTR NOW! IT ROCKS (Well,
Vic saw it and said it does... I have yet to sample its delights. But I will, never fear!)By the way (also), im over such-and-such...
no longer finding him fit! Phew!Also, I saw James again today and he looked godly as usual (*sigh*).Happy Christmas
to all, unless I dont like you.
Friday, 26th of December, 2003 (BOXING DAY):So we've
gone past Christmas and what do we have left.... A SHIT LOAD OF GOODIES, THATS WHAT! Its another 364 days before I have to
lay eyes on estranged family members, have an actual reason for my drunken behaviour and be made to watch the joys of Christmas
TV! Well, unless someone taped it, or else im safe for another year! But it does mean, yes, im afraid we have to
wave a solumn goodbye to those cola adverts where the fireplace turns (rather scarily) into a truck. I mean, what
the fuck! I was terrified as a child (well, I wasnt, but it can help in my case to sue them cant it!) Anywho, Jennerz
Your God celebrated Christmas like most of you lot did.... Face down on the floor after getting completly hammered ("T'is
the season after all!" - Lib). Well, the rest of the day was a blur of wrapping paper, screaming and alcohol. So, a usual
day, only I don't usually have the wrapping paper. But anyway, im moving away from the point ("Oh we've got a plot this year?!"
- Eddie). I got some rather dudesome swag this year, including my guitar. Its a bitch (in a good way man!) and shes a real
beaut! So, to all my lil Jennerlings, have a very merry holiday! So eat what you like, dance to what you like and
(most importantly!) drink what you like!!!!!
Tuesday, 30th of December, 2003Is this the age we live
in?!? Has it really got this bad!? Leonard Peilter wrongly imprisoned, Avril Lavigne still in the "music" industry, and Janine
marrying Barry!! Whats wrong with the world?!?! Also, this week saw the death of our beloved "Wipeout" presenter, Bob Monkhouse.
yes, dear Jennerlings, he is gone, to a better place. Out of the world where things get so mad that Bush was elected! yes,
its really going to pot ("Pot" being the operative word!) I have to rant about this, why does everyone have to be "Cool",
then protest that they arnt, knowing full well that theyre just lying? Well, thats the impression I get from our society! Society
blows. As does New Year. Quote of Chandler... "its just a stupid Dick Clarke holiday"! As a none-American, I am as yet unaffected

Nearly 30,000 people enduring long-term joblessness in Michigan are set to lose their unemployment insurance as a federal program that provides the final 20 weeks of benefits expires there.
The lapse of the Extended Benefits program in Michigan is a reminder that, even though Congress fully reauthorized federal unemployment insurance for two months in December, lawmakers sneakily shortened the duration of benefits. Legislators did not announce benefits would be changed, but according to its complex eligibility formula, Extended Benefits will expire over the course of the year in the rest of the 32 states where the program is in effect.
"This is the first wave of tens of thousands of laid-off workers losing their unemployment insurance unless the program is extended in Washington these next weeks in a sound and sensitive manner," Rep. Sander Levin (D-Mich.) said in a statement on Saturday. "If the federal extended benefit program is not fixed in the conference committee, close to 30 states will follow Michigan and lose access to this program in the first six months of 2012."
States are eligible for Extended Benefits if their jobless rates are high and rising compared with a corresponding period over the previous three years. Since Michigan's rate is steadily declining -- it fell from 11.1 percent at the end of 2010 to 9.3 percent in December -- the state is "triggering off" the program. But even if the rate hadn't fallen at all, unless it's at least 10 percent higher than it was three years ago, the state would still lose Extended Benefits.
Maine, where the jobless rate is 7 percent, will also trigger off the program this month.
Levin said he advocated for Congress to change the "look back" period for evaluating state eligibility to four years -- at the end of 2010 Congress lengthened it from just two years -- but other top Democrats in the House and Senate said they had to give ground for Republicans to sign on to approving even a short-term extension in December.
"We couldn't get it done otherwise," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said at the time.
"There are things in this bill as we pointed out that we had to make concessions on," House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said then.
The December deal marked the beginning of the end of 99 weeks of combined state and federal unemployment insurance. As the Extended Benefits program expires in one state after another over the course of the year, the total duration of unemployment insurance will drop to 79 weeks. (Michigan's maximum duration will be even shorter because last year state Republicans cut state benefits from 26 weeks to 20.)
As congressional Republicans are fond of pointing out, the Obama administration first proposed phasing out Extended Benefits this year. In legislation that passed the House, Republicans would have gone further by cutting another 20 weeks from the 53-week Emergency Unemployment Compensation program, reducing the total duration of benefits to 59 weeks.
Both federal unemployment programs will expire at the end of the month. Lawmakers are currently negotiating a deal to reauthorize the benefits as part of a bigger package that includes a 2-percent reduction in the Social Security payroll tax on workers, which is also expiring.
Emergency Unemployment Compensation aided 3 million workers during the week ending Jan. 14, according to the latest from Labor Department, while 474,252 received Extended Benefits.
The next states to lose Extended Benefits eligibility will be Massachusetts, Missouri, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina and Tennessee, according to an analysis by the National Employment Law Project, a worker advocacy group. In those states the program will stop in April.

Brighton's singing stars of the future made their way to Churchill Square today (March 10), to try out for the forthcoming series of The X Factor.
Wannabe pop stars turned up to show off their talent in the hopes of making it through the open auditions, and a chance to appear before the judges on TV later this year.
Churchill Square centre director Mark Buchanan-Smith said: "We know that there are some incredibly talented bands and singers in the region and it was terrific to see so many people of all ages come along to show off their talent. As always we were not disappointed with the quality of the singing and dancing on display, and we're all excited to find out whether the next star of tomorrow comes from the area."
The talent show hit Brighton as part of the show's open audition tour, which is visiting towns and cities across the UK on the lookout for the next big breakout music stars.
The singing competition will return to ITV later this year.
