About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 05:20 PM GMT am 13. Mai 2011
America has an Achilles' heel. It lies on a quiet, unpopulated stretch of the Mississippi River in Louisiana, a few miles east of the tiny town of Simmesport. Rising up from the flat, wooded west flood plain of the Mississippi River tower four massive concrete and steel structures that would make a Pharaoh envious--the Army Corps' of Engineers greatest work, the billion-dollar Old River Control Structure. This marvel of modern civil engineering has, for fifty years, done what many thought impossible--impose man's will on the Mississippi River. Mark Twain, who captained a Mississippi river boat for many years, wrote in his book Life on the Mississippi, "ten thousand river commissions, with the mines of the world at their back, cannot tame that lawless stream, cannot curb it or define it, cannot say to it "Go here," or Go there, and make it obey; cannot save a shore which it has sentenced; cannot bar its path with an obstruction which it will not tear down, dance over, and laugh at." The great river wants to carve a new path to the Gulf of Mexico; only the Old River Control Structure keeps it at bay. Failure of the Old River Control Structure would be a severe blow to America's economy, interrupting a huge portion of our imports and exports that ship along the Mississippi River. Closure of the Mississippi to shipping would cost $295 million per day, said Gary LaGrange, executive director of the Port of New Orleans, during a news conference Thursday. The structure will receive its most severe test in its history in the coming two weeks, as the Mississippi River's greatest flood on record crests at a level never before seen.
Figure 1. Two views of the Mississippi River. Left: the meander paths of the Mississippi over time, as published in "Geological Investigation of the Alluvial Valley of the Lower Mississippi River" (Fisk, 1944). Right: The Army Corps of Engineers' view of Mississippi River peak flow rates during a maximum 1-in-500 year "Project Flood" (U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, 1958.) The places outlined in red are where the Corps has built flood control structures capable of diverting a portion of the Mississippi's flow.
A better path to the Gulf
The mighty Mississippi River keeps on rollin' along its final 300 miles to the Gulf of Mexico south of New Orleans--but unwillingly. There is a better way to the Gulf--150 miles shorter, and more than twice as steep. This path lies down the Atchafalaya River, which connects to the Mississippi at a point 45 miles north-northwest of Baton Rouge, 300 river miles from the Gulf of Mexico Delta. Each year, the path down the Atchafalaya grows more inviting. As the massive amounts of sediments the Mississippi carries--scoured from fully 41% of the U.S. land area--reach the Gulf of Mexico, the river's path grows longer. This forces it to dump large amounts of sediment hundreds of miles upstream, in order to build its bed higher and maintain the flow rates needed to flush such huge amounts of sediment to the sea. Thus the difference in elevation between the bed of the Mississippi and the Atchafalaya--currently 17 - 19 feet at typical flow rates of the rivers--grows ever steeper, and the path to the Gulf down the Atchafalaya more inviting. Floods like this year's great flood further increase the slope, as flood waters scour out the bed of the Atchafalaya. Without the Old River Control Structure, the Mississippi River would have carved a new path to the Gulf in the 1970s, leaving Baton Rouge and New Orleans stranded on a salt water estuary, with no fresh water to supply their people and industry.
History of the Old River Control Structure
The Mississippi River has been carving a path to the ocean since the time of the dinosaurs, always seeking the shortest and steepest route possible. Approximately once every 1000 years, the river jumps out of its banks and carves a new path. In John McPhee's fantastic essay, The Control of Nature, we learn:
The Mississippi's main channel of three thousand years ago is now the quiet water of Bayou Teche, which mimics the shape of the Mississippi. Along Bayou Teche, on the high ground of ancient natural levees, are Jeanerette, Breaux Bridge, Broussard, Olivier--arcuate strings of Cajun towns. Eight hundred years before the birth of Christ, the channel was captured from the east. It shifted abruptly and flowed in that direction for about a thousand years. In the second century a.d., it was captured again, and taken south, by the now unprepossessing Bayou Lafourche, which, by the year 1000, was losing its hegemony to the river's present course, through the region that would be known as Plaquemines. By the nineteen-fifties, the Mississippi River had advanced so far past New Orleans and out into the Gulf that it was about to shift again, and its offspring Atchafalaya was ready to receive it.
For the Mississippi to make such a change was completely natural, but in the interval since the last shift Europeans had settled beside the river, a nation had developed, and the nation could not afford nature. The consequences of the Atchafalaya's conquest of the Mississippi would include but not be limited to the demise of Baton Rouge and the virtual destruction of New Orleans. With its fresh water gone, its harbor a silt bar, its economy disconnected from inland commerce, New Orleans would turn into New Gomorrah. Moreover, there were so many big industries between the two cities that at night they made the river glow like a worm. As a result of settlement patterns, this reach of the Mississippi had long been known as "the German coast," and now, with B. F. Goodrich, E. I. du Pont, Union Carbide, Reynolds Metals, Shell, Mobil, Texaco, Exxon, Monsanto, Uniroyal, Georgia-Pacific, Hydrocarbon Industries, Vulcan Materials, Nalco Chemical, Freeport Chemical, Dow Chemical, Allied Chemical, Stauffer Chemical, Hooker Chemicals, Rubicon Chemicals, American Petrofina--with an infrastructural concentration equaled in few other places--it was often called "the American Ruhr." The industries were there because of the river. They had come for its navigational convenience and its fresh water. They would not, and could not, linger beside a tidal creek. For nature to take its course was simply unthinkable. The Sixth World War would do less damage to southern Louisiana. Nature, in this place, had become an enemy of the state.
The Atchafalaya steadily took more and more of the Mississippi's water to the Gulf of Mexico during the 20th Century, until by 1950, it had captured 30% of the great river's flow, becoming the 4th largest river in the U.S. by volume discharge. The Army Corps of Engineers stepped in, and in the late 1950s began construction of a massive structure that resembled a dam with gates to control the amount of water escaping from the Mississippi to the Atchafalaya. This "Low Sill Structure", completed in 1963, consisted of a dam with 11 gates, each 44 feet wide, that could be raised or lowered. The entire structure was 566 feet long. A companion "Overbank Structure" was built on dry land next to the Low Sill Structure, in order to control extreme water flows during major floods. The Overbank Structure had 73 bays, each 44 feet wide, and was 3,356 feet long. The total cost of the two structures: about $300 million.

The flood of 1973: Old River Control Structure almost fails
For the first ten years after completion of the Old River Control Structure, no major floods tested it, leading the Army Corps to declare, "We harnessed it, straightened it, regularized it, shackled it." But in 1973, a series of heavy snowstorms in the Upper Midwest was followed by exceptionally heavy spring rains in the South. The Mighty Mississippi rose inexorably until the flow rate at the Old River Control Structure reached 2 million cubic feet per second--twenty times the flow of Niagara Falls--and stayed there for more almost three months. Turbulence from the unprecedented flows through the Low Sill Structure scoured the foundation and destroyed a 67-foot-high wing wall that guided water into the structure. Scour holes as big as a football field developed upstream, downstream, and underneath the structure, exposing 50 feet of the 90-foot long steel pilings supporting the structure. The structure began vibrating dangerously, so much so that it would slam open car doors of vehicles parking on top of Highway 15 that crosses over the top. Emergency repairs saved the structure, but it came very close to complete failure.
The flood of 1973 permanently damaged the Low Sill Structure, forcing the Corps to build additional structures to control future great floods. The first of these structures was the Auxilliary Control Structure. This 442-foot long structure, completed in 1986, consisted of six gates, each 62 feet wide, and cost $206 million to build. Joining the mix in the late 1980s was a 192-megawatt hydroelectric power plant, build at a cost of $520 million.
Figure 3. The flow of water in the Mississippi River as of Friday, May 13 (red line) has exceeded 2 million cubic feet per second, and was approaching the all-time record (dashed blue line.) Image credit: USACE.
The Old River Control Structure's greatest test: the flood of 2011
Flow rates of the Mississippi at the latitude of the Old River Control Structure are expected to exceed the all-time record on Saturday, giving the Old River Control Structure its greatest test since the flood of 1973. Since there are now four structures to control the flooding instead of just the two that existed in 1973, the Old River Control Structure should be able to handle a much greater flow of water. The flood of 2011 is not as large as the maximum 1-in-500 year "Project Flood" that the Old River Control Structure was designed to handle, and the Army Corps of Engineers has expressed confidence that the structure can handle the current flood. However, the system has never been tested in these conditions before. This is a dangerous flood, and very high water levels are expected for many weeks. Unexpected flaws in the design of the Old River Control Structure may give it a few percent chance of failure under these sorts of unprecedented conditions. While I expect that the Old River Control Structure will indeed hold back the great flood of 2011, we also need to be concerned about the levees on either side of the structure. The levees near Old River Control Structure range from 71 - 74 feet high, and the flood is expected to crest at 65.5 feet on May 22. This is, in theory, plenty of levee to handle such a flood, but levees subjected to long periods of pressure can and do fail sometimes, and the Corps has to be super-careful to keep all the levees under constant surveillance and quickly move to repair sand boils or piping problems that might develop. Any failure of a levee on the west bank of the Mississippi could allow the river to jump its banks permanently and carve a new path to the Gulf of Mexico. I'll say more about the potential costs of such an event in a future post.
According to the latest information from the Army Corps the Old River Control Structure is currently passing 624,000 cubic feet per second of water, which is 1% beyond what is intended in a maximum "Project Flood." The flow rate of the Mississippi at New Orleans is at 100% of the maximum Project Flood. These are dangerous flow rates, and makes it likely that the Army Corps will open the Morganza Spillway in the next few days to take pressure off of the Old River Control Structure and New Orleans levees. Neither can be allowed to fail. In theory, the Old River Control Structure can be operated at 140% of a Project Flood, since there are now four control structures instead of just the two that existed in 1973 (flows rates of 300,000 cfs, 350,000 cfs, 320,000 cfs, and 170,000 cfs can go through the Low Sill, Auxiliary, Overbank, and Hydroelectric structures, respectively.) Apparently, the Corps is considering this, as evidenced by their Scenario #3 images they posted yesterday. This is a risky proposition, as the Old River Control Structure would be pushed to its absolute limit in this scenario. It would seem a lower risk proposition to open the Morganza spillway to divert up to 600,000 cfs, unless there are concerns the Corps has they aren't telling us about.

The vast range of options reflects the commitment of the whole organization to provide a product guaranteed by the Artemide brand, throughout the world, with an image that is strong and consistent: that of a leader in the lighting field.
Renowned lighting series issued by Artemide include the versatile Tizio and Tolomeo, Logico, Melampo, Castore, and color-changing Metamorfosi. Other design classics that Artemide still produces include the unique Boalum, Nesso and Fatto. Over the years, many designers have created beautiful works of lighting art for Artemide, including Michele De Lucchi, Livio Castiglioni, Gianfranco Frattini, Vico Magistretti, Richard Sapper and Giancarlo Fassina. More recently, Ron Rezek's line of practical and affordable designs, including many wall sconces, bath lights and mirrors was acquired by Artemide.
Born in 1951 in Ferrara, Italy, Michele De Lucchi studied in Padua and Florence, graduating with his architectural degree in 1975. A prominent symbol in experimental architecture, Michele De Lucchi was well known in the Cavart, Alchymia and Memphis movements. Not only has he designed lighting fixtures and furniture for the most prominent producers in Europe, he has developed many theories of the evolution of the workplace, and accomplished "experimental products" for Compaq Computers, Philips, Siemens and Vitra.
In 1973 Michele De Lucchi partnered with other designers and architects to create Cavert, which was considered a radical design group during that time. Kartell discovered his artistry in 1978 and hired him in Milan to design for Centrokappa. He later met up with Ettore Sottsass and joined the Studio Alchimia designers. Between his many creations he became a design consultant for Olivetti in 1979. In 1990 Michele De Lucchi founded a small lighting company, Produzione Privata, to produce lighting that could disregard the requirements of mass production and be made by craftsmen using traditional techniques.View other products by Michele de Lucchi
Giancarlo Fassina was born and raised in Milan, Italy. He obtained a degree in Architecture at the Politecnico University in Milan and has worked on several projects involving Industrial Design and has created lighting for Artemide, Luceplan, to name a few. He is a recipient of the Compasso D'oro award for his Tolomeo Series of lamps which he designed together with Michelle de Lucchi.
His work and experiences in different product industrial sectors have allowed him focus his design on projecting lamps & planning and furnishing exhibitions as well as museums. He has collaborated with some of the most important companies in the lighting sector, Luceplan included, for which he projected the lamp Birzi together with Carlo Forcolini.View other products by Giancarlo Fassina

This post is co-authored with Melanne Verveer, ambassador-at-large for Global Women's Issues at the U.S. Department of State.
The past year represented some extraordinary moments for women. It began with a revolution in Tahrir Square, where women organized and led historic protests. It ended with a Nobel Peace Prize recognizing three extraordinary leaders who have led women in Liberia and Yemen to reach for democracy and human rights.
2012 is off to its own strong start. In honor of today's International Women's Day, the United States is honoring the unique contributions of women around the world with two special award ceremonies.
Today, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is hosting the 2012 International Women of Courage Awards Ceremony with special guests First Lady Michelle Obama and two of those three amazing Nobel Prize winners, Leymah Gbowee from Liberia and Tawakkol Karman from Yemen. The prestigious award recognizes women around the globe who have shown exceptional courage and leadership in advocating for women's rights and empowerment, often at great personal risk.
Zin Mar Aung — an activist in Burma jailed for expressing her mind. Jineth Bedoya Lima — a Colombian journalist shedding a spotlight on atrocities of sexual and gender-based violence. The Honorable Maryam Durani — a member of the Kandahar Provincial Council in Afghanistan who refused to let death threats deter her from entering the political arena. These women and the six other winners this year are leaders and doers. They hail from every corner of the world, but the challenges are all too alike. Recipients have endured beatings and kidnappings. They have fought to receive an education and to access business loans. But no matter the obstacle, none of them was willing to accept failure.
In addition, tomorrow, Secretary Clinton will announce the recipients of the Secretary's Innovation Award for the Empowerment of Women and Girls. The award seeks to identify and bring to scale innovative ideas that hold the promise of transforming the lives and women and girls around the world. The award is funded by the Rockefeller Foundation through the Secretary's International Fund for Women and Girls, and awardees are chosen by a panel of experts who are themselves innovators. This year's awardees from India, Kenya, and Tanzania represent scalable innovations in the sectors of agriculture, technology, economic empowerment, and the "green" economy. This year's jurists included such distinguished leaders and thinkers as Mohammed Yunus, Cherie Blair, Sheryl Sandberg, Beth Brook, and Noeleen Heyzer.
The winning organizations truly represent game-changing innovation.
Kickstart, in Tanzania, is enabling poverty alleviation for women through the MoneyMaker Hip Pump — a simple irrigation tool that is low-cost, manually powered, light weight, and portable. It allows women farmers to grow high value fruits and vegetables and sell them throughout the year, even in the dry season.
Samasource, based in Kenya, provides women and youth with the skills and resources to deliver in-demand digital services to companies in the United States and abroad. In three years, Samasource has paid more than $1.5 million in real wages to over 2,000 trained workers in places where most people survive on less than $3 a day — addressing deeper systemic issues within an economy that suffers from the lack of an employed and empowered female workforce.
In India, Chintan has been reducing ecological footprints and increasing environmental justice across the informal sector through green jobs, advocacy, and organizing. It implements grassroots work on the ground, including solid waste handling, plastics recycling, training and organizing wastepickers, and eliminating child labor from recycling.
The women and organizations being honored today and tomorrow are extraordinary, but their perseverance and conviction is indicative of women around the world. They may not be famous or hold fancy titles, but they are leading on the front lines of change in courageous and innovative ways.
The world cannot deny the essential role that women must play in building strong economies, forging peaceful resolutions to conflict, and supporting sustainable communities. A mountain of data affirms that countries closer to closing the gender gap maintain stronger economies.
The fact is that supporting women is not about charity — it is a smart, strategic decision. In the twenty-first century, no country can hope to move forward if it is leaving half of its people behind.

Project MATHEMATICS!
DVDs available
in English & Spanish
Project description
Project MATHEMATICS! videos explore basic topics in high school mathematics in ways that cannot be done at the chalkboard or in a textbook. They bring mathematics to life with imaginative computer animation, live action, music, special effects, and a sense of humor.
Young people are attracted to mathematics through high-quality instructional modules that show mathematics to be understandable, exciting, and eminently worthwhile. Each module consists of a video together with a workbook/study guide, and explores a basic topic in mathematics that can be integrated into any high school or community college curriculum. The modules encourage interaction between students and teachers.
Video technology provides a highly efficient way of conveying information. Visual images make a much greater impact than printed or spoken words, especially when the images are in motion and are accompanied by music and sound effects. These videos provide a valuable pedagogical tool for supporting mathematics instruction.
Millions of viewers have seen one or more of the videos, either in classrooms or on various public television stations. They have been enthusiastically received by teachers and students nationwide and have captured first-place honors at a dozen major film and video festivals. Translations exist in Hebrew, Portuguese, French, and Spanish.
The videotapes were animated by James F. Blinn, and produced by Professor Tom M. Apostol at the California Institute of Technology in
In the following list of titles, the first nine are available either as separate videotapes (English only), or as 3 bilingual DVDs (English and Spanish), grouped as indicated below. A workbook/study guide (in English) is available for each title.

Thread: Mysterious Anthelia Meltdown
Mysterious Anthelia Meltdown
Last month I came home from work and detected the faint odor of 'coral' in my home (those who have handled or fragged live coral should know this smell). I asked my wife if she had used any chemical cleansers or aerosol freshners that day, and she had not.
A cursory visual check of my reef tank didn't reveal anything out of the ordinary but the water had a detectable coral smell, which is something that it has never emitted before.
The next day or so all of my anthellia (waving hand coral, a soft coral and type of xeniid) weren't looking well. This coral was widespread in my tank (to the point of being invasive) and every single polyp was looking deflated and shrivelled.
The following day things when from oddly bad to severely catastrophic.
Anthelia polyps each have 8 feathered tentacles. I had literally at least a good hundred+ anthelia polyps in the tank and not only were they all disintegrating but nearly all of them had shed all of their tentacles or fragments of their tentacles (which my powerheads were disseminating throughout the tank). Anthelia debris, and literally hundreds of anthelia tentacles were everywhere in my tank and the smell was horrid.
My skimmate collection cup was essentially an evil-smelling mass of chunky coral slime with anthelia fragments; the water column was cloudy. My trachyphyllia (open brain coral) and montipora were buried under anthelia fragments and were adversely affected from this physical contact. What ever toxins anthelia contained where being released and all of my euphyllia LPS corals were extremely retracted, almost looking like they no longer existed.
I had no SW on hand so I had to make some, it would take me several hours to create enough RO/DI water and then make the SW (at a minimum I needed 30gal for a 50% water change), I wouldn't be able to get started until about midnight.
In the mean time I netted out a lot of the anthelia debris. For some reason none of my even more widespread xenia was effected. The entire sandbed was littered with settled anthelia debris.
I got as much disintegrated coral as I could and placed 3 or 4 cups of high-grade carbon in my canister filter. I repeated the process a couple of days later and then again during the next couple of weekends (50% water change, copious amounts of high grade carbon) to restore the quality of my water.
Up until this point anthelia had been an indestructable, hardy, fast spreading coral, practically weed-like in my tank (I've had it since 2006), and the entire population was practically decimated. I have not figured out what the cause of this was, why just anthelia was directly effected, or why it was a simultaneous tank-wide decimation rather than a localized one. My water parameters were all within the norms.
Two small anthelia polyps managed to survive unscathed, adjacent to a third polyp which is just a stalk, having lost all of its tentacles. This tiny survivor group appears to be making a speedy come back, and today (3 weeks following the meltdown) numbers nine polyps.
Anthelia debris had coated my montipora and it seems to be on its way out (spreading irreversable tissue recession, no polyp extention and bleaching). My open brain coral was had also been submerged under anthelia debris and has become partially bleached and browned out, but it seems to be in much better shape than the montipora. A few candy cane polyps that were blanketed with anthelia-matter have lost some tissue (looking as if that had been stung). My euphyllia corals have regained their expansion. All other corals (soft, LPS, SPS) were apparently unaffected.
Maybe the huge anthelia population quickly depleted some vital element(s) in the water, I have no idea. One lesson learned is that I will treat any detectable odor of coral in the air or from the water as an immediate emergency. Maybe if I had done a 50% water change that very first day the situation could have been prevented or controlled somewhat.
Or maybe it just mysteriously crashed like its cousin the xenia seems to do for many other hobbyists (my xenia population seems to be has heathy as ever at this time though).African cichlid and saltwater aquariums
do you have any pictures?
This is just the kind of horror story that makes me wander if its worth thr trouble. I hope you get it solved and fixed. I feel your pain.

Hello, new to this site just wondering if you ever figured out what happened. The same things happened to me just this weekend, have been cleaning out anthelia limbs the past couple days. Your story is exactly the same, woke up one morning and the entire colony was just melting away with white bleached looking spots and pieces just coming off. Anyway cleaned out most of it and just hoping to avoid the melt down again. Thanks nice tank by the way!
Funny I should finally see this thread today as we just had all of our Anthilia at the LFS melt away yesterday as well. Everything looked great all week and then when we walked in this morning, the entire colony was dead.
BTW, yes, I know just how old this thread is but it is still quite relevant. 3 Common experiences being shared may help solve all 3.Considering a Marine Aquarium? A Breakdown of the Components, Live Rock, Cycling a Marine Tank

So no word on what happened to all of us yet huh? Well the last of the anthelias died off and floated away, leaving only 2 small shoot that seem like they might make a recovery. So strange any way heres of pic of whats left. hope someone can give some reasoning for this strange event.
You can see the left over shoots of anthelia on the rock between the duncs and colt, above the frog.

I never did discover the cause of the problem.
I guess I'm still sticking to my original assessment/'gestimate': "I have not figured out what the cause of this was, why just anthelia was directly effected, or why it was a simultaneous tank-wide decimation rather than a localized one. My water parameters were all within the established norms. Maybe the huge anthelia population quickly depleted some unknown yet vital element(s) in the water."
I am also at a loss as to why my huge pulsating xenia colony was completely unaffected (both xenia and anthelia are xeniids). Maybe at least in my system the xenia was part of the mystery?
The surviving anthelia that I had that was growing on the glass near the power head (seen in post #5 of this thread) detached from the glass not long after my last post and has since re-attached to some live rock.
The anthelia is now making a slow come-back; I've discovered several small groups of them in various hard-to-see places in the tank far from where the survivor group is.
I suspect these others regenerated from anthelia matting fragments which didn't completely dissolve.
So far nearly all of the rebounding anthelia are developing at disadvantageous locations (in the shadows of other corals or in semi-underhang locations), so it will be a while before it returns to it previous weed-like glory, but these anthelia polyps are doing fine otherwise (at least so far.... some 7 months after the meltdown incident).
As far as my other corals which were blanketed under dissolving anthelia debris and adversely affected: my open brain and candy corals made a quick and complete recovery. My montipora is still struggling. I was able to frag a healthy fingernail-sized portion from the main body not to long ago.

High Risk Program Brochure
In order to create an environment for academic achievement, a wide variety of social issues that impact the classroom must be addressed. This training program is designed to expand knowledge, develop skills and provide instructional strategies and resources in order to create an environment of respect, reduce feelings of isolation and promote a community of caring.
This program consists of five (5) individual workshops designed to help teachers deal with the difficult problems they must confront in teaching at-risk students.
The recommended time for each workshop is 3 hours. Workshops can be condensed to 90 minutes.
1. Gang Intervention
No longer strictly a problem of the inner city, gangs are pervasive across all ethnic, gender, socioeconomic and geographic boundaries in California. This workshop provides information about youth gangs in California, and more importantly, why students join. The role of teachers and schools in gang intervention is thoroughly discussed. This workshop also provides a segment for developing a plan of action for participants, schools and communities.
2. Self Esteem
This informative workshop is designed to help teachers and other education employees learn strategies for enhancing self esteem in students. Self esteem is a critical factor in both student and teacher performance. At the heart of student behavior is the ability to make wise and safe decisions. A person's self esteem is a key contributor to those decisions.
3. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender/Transsexual, Questioning/Queer, Intersex, Ally/Asexual Youth: Breaking the Silence
As students struggle to deal with gay and lesbian issues, educators need factual information so they can correct the misinformation about homosexuality. This training will provide participants with strategies for reducing hostilities towards lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual, questioning/queer, intersex, and ally/asexual students and learn ways to create a safe free learning environment for all students. In addition, participants will learn what their Chapters and Service Centers can do to promote tolerance and understanding of these issues.
4. Child Abuse & Neglect
The incidents of child abuse in California have risen steadily from 713,391 in 2004 to 905,000 in 2006. This workshop focuses on what constitutes abuse and neglect, and how to recognize its signs and symptoms. The California law that defines the duties imposed on teachers in reporting suspected cases of child abuse and neglect is reviewed.
5. Reducing the Risk: Teen Suicide
This training provides an awareness of the sensitive area of adolescent suicide. Statistics and stress factors are reviewed. Common clues and warning signs for identifying potential suicide victims are provided. Suggestions for how to approach and handle students with suicidal behavior are given. The importance of self esteem is stressed. Included is a discussion of referral procedures.

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – State Treasurer Lynn Fitch said the first phase of a study of a program that allows people to lock in college tuition costs does not quell concerns about its solvency.
When asked during a Friday news conference if there is a possibility that the Mississippi Prepaid Affordable College Tuition Program, known as MPACT, could be shut down, the Republican treasurer said, "That would be an option, absolutely."
Fitch, who held the news conference to discuss a number of issues, including her goal to require the teaching of personal finance to high school students, said her office had recently received the first phase of a study of MPACT.
The study, commissioned by the MPACT Board, was conducted by Michigan-based Gabriel Roeder Smith & Company, an actuary firm.
It cited several problems with the program, including the fact that because of rising tuition more might need to be charged to those entering the program.
Under MPACT, which was started in the late 1990s, the cost of tuition can be purchased for a future student at today's prices.
The program is administered by the treasurer, though there is a separate governing board.
This past fall the board closed the program to new enrollees because of concerns about its funding level and ordered the actuarial study.
Fitch said earnings on the plan's investments for the past year were less than 1 percent. The assumed rate of return on investment is 7.8 percent, yet, it has produced a rate of return of only 4.3 percent since inception.
Fitch stressed that the investments of current enrollees – about 22,000 – were safe because they were back "by the full faith and credit" of the state.
But Fitch has said she wants to ensure the program is sustainable because she does not want to have to go to the Legislature to ask for funds for MPACT. Fitch said the actuaries will make recommendations later this year to the board on the future of MPACT.
"This is a long process," she said. "It is an important process … We are talking about our children."
At one time there were more than 20 states with similar plans. But with investment earnings not reaching expectations and with college tuition increasing at a much higher pace than inflation, Fitch said many states have either shut down their programs or made changes. She said only three other states now have plans like Mississippi's that has the full backing of state's resources.
Fitch said a separate college savings plan operated out of the treasurer's office is thriving, and she urged parents and grandparents to look into that program.
Plus, she said the goal is to continue MPACT or some other program that promotes a college education.
"I think we have to explore every opportunity we can to get people in college," she said.

Strange Problems with aspect ratios on BDP3280/12
I received my copy of the new Star Trek: The Next Generation® The Next Level Blu-ray Disc today and have unusual problems with the aspect ratio. I am not sure if this is caused by the player, TV or disk.
The aspect ration of the TNG episodes is in the original 4:3 ratio. As 4:3 format programs are now unusual, especially on Blu Ray disks, I decided to try and expand the image to 16:9 to see how that would look. My Philips Blu Ray player and TV should normally let me expand the width of the video to fill the screen or alternatively zoom the picture in so that the top and bottom are cut off and the sides are enlarged to fill the screen. I wanted to test both modes and was very surprised at what happened.
The equipment I am using is as follows:
Philips 42" Full-HD TV (2011 model) 42PFL7666K/02. FW 000.014.093.000
Philips 3D Blu Ray player (2011 model) BDP3280/12. FW V2.22
The two units are connected via an HDMI Cable as you would expect.
This is what happens with the various picture zoom settings:
Autofill: Shows full 4:3 format image (standard setting)
Autozoom: Same as above
Super zoom: Instead of the picture getting wider, it actually gets slightly narrower and the picture is stretched vertically - NOT horizontally as you would expect.
Movie Expand 16:9: The image width returns to the same size as with the 4:3 image, yet the image is now stretched vertically even more - very strange.
Wide screen: The image size returns to 4:3 format
Unscaled: The image gets a little smaller revealing a bit more image at the top any bottom.
The 4:3 format works fine, but I would like to have at least the option to also expand the video to 16:9 format (either by stretching horizontally or zooming in the image).
I then put my original TNG DVD of the same episode, which is of course also filmed in 4:3 aspect ratio and there I had the opposite problem. The 4:3 video was ALWAYS shown stretched to 16:9. I could not find a setting on TV on Blu Ray player to show this DVD in its original 4:3 format. In my Panasonic DVD recorder, I could view the same DVD normally.
Aspect ratio is pretty important and it is important to get that right. Videos that are originally 16:9 on disk play fine.

I have done further tests on my Blu Ray player and TV to work out the aspect issue.
I connected the Blu Ray player via HDMI to a different (Samsung) TV and I was unable to expand the image width on that either (i.e. unable to stretch the image horizontally).
I did find a zoom function on the Blu Ray player which was at least able to zoom the image (losing picture on top and bottom but keeping the aspect true). At 2x, the image finally filled the screen. The zoom trick worked on my Philips TV, too.
I then found a TV station which was broadcasting TNG in 4:3 format and both TVs were able to show the program in 4:3 and 16:9 format (both stretched and zoomed), something they were both unable to do from the Blu Ray disk.
Either way, there is something about either the way the Blu Ray disk, or the Blu Ray player, is programmed that makes it impossible for two different TVs (connected via HDMI) to horizontally stretch or zoom the 4:3 image from the disk to fill the screen.
On the TV, I played a video on Net TV (a trailer in viewster and a program on the BBC iPlayer) and tested the zoom features again. Here, I again had the image expanding vertically instead of horizontally with Super Zoom and Movie Expand 16:9, so there does seem to be an issue with the Philips TV software as well.
I hope Philips can investigate and fix these issues. When I want to expand the width of a 4:3 program, I do not want the imaged stretched vertically instead of horizontally. If you need further details, simply ask here or contact me directly.
Do I need to report this in the TV forum as well?

|Warmwater flyfishing Bass, pike and even muskies in your backyard
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Yup it was one scorcher of a weekend, here in Cooperstown. In the 90's all weekend. I hit the river for pan fish and caught a few. Water is real low and the pools are where the fish are at. Now we have cool weather coming in for a few days, but no good rains.
|Dble Haul
NH warmwater- low water and slow action
I had a couple of hours to kill on Sunday morning in NH. For the shorebound or wading angler, things are pretty tough. I decided to leave the trout alone and went to a few of my favorite smallmouth rivers......only four fish (two sunfish, a perch, and a largemouth). The water levels are very low, and surface temps are in the 80s.
I have a feeling that I could have done better if I'd been there earlier in the day, but bed was soooo comfortable.
Next time.
I hope if you didn't get any fish this weekend, you at least stayed cool.

What started as a glass factory in Iittala, Finland, now celebrates generations of essential objects made to enrich people's everyday lives. Iittala creates distinctive, multi-functional objects with lasting design that allows for individual use and expression.
In the early years of modernism and functionalism, during the 1930s and 40s, pioneers like Alvar Aalto and Kaj Franck led the development of the Iittala brand. Their belief was that objects should always be designed with a thought, essential and above all, available to all. It was their thinking that set the foundation for the Iittala design philosophy – to push the boundaries and to give people beauty and function.
Iittala strives to create icons that will last a lifetime. What started as a glass factory in Iittala, Finland, now celebrates generations of essential objects that are made to enrich people's everyday lives. More than just beautiful objects, Iittala creates timeless designs that will never be thrown away.
(1911-1989) Born in Vyborg, Finland, Kaj Franck is described as the conscience of Finnish design. He removed everything excessive in his designs, leaving only the essentials. Kaj Franck has been awarded a large number of Finnish and international awards and prizes and his work has been displayed at a range of design museums around the world.

In this episode, Chef Mina and his two sons, Sammy, age 8, and Anthony, age 4, head to the Sacramento Valley, where the walnut trees are in season and ready for the picking. But picking isn't exactly how they harvest a tree exploding with nuts. Instead, the boys climb into a real-life Tonka# truck from which they literally shake the trees-using long pinchers attached to mechanical arms. The earth rumbles and a fireworks display of walnuts comes raining down, to the delight of the excited children below. Fourth-generation farmer Bill Carriere and his three children lead the way as the Minas follow along, eating, tasting and learning about the walnut.

The journey begins in the pitch-black pre-dawn hours on a sleepy Louisiana bayou. The waters come to life at sunrise, offering a bounty of sea life and surprises.

Starters & Salads
Ecuadorian Hot Sauce
A Traditional South American Hot SauceHot sauce, also known as ají, in South America, is a dinner-table staple, often made fresh every day and used to smother on freshly roasted pork, fish, tamales and potatoes and used as a dip for empanadas, bread, plantain chips and more. In Ecuador, tomate de arbol, also known as tamarillo, or tree tomato, is used as the base for the hot sauce. This South American fruit looks like a plum tomato, tastes tangy and slightly bitter and ranges in color from yellow to orangey red. Here, GOYA® Tomate de Arbol Fruit Pulp is blended with Serrano peppers for a quick, Ecuadorian Hot Sauce recipe that you will use again and again.
Makes 1 2/3 cups
Prep time: 5 min.
Total time: 15 min
1 pkg. (14 oz.) frozen GOYA® Tomate de Arbol Fruit Pulp, thawed
2 serrano chiles, seeded (if desired) and chopped
Ľ white or red onion, very finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro
GOYA® Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning with Pepper, to taste
1. Add tomate de arbol and serrano chiles to bowl of blender. Puree until smooth and combined, about 30 seconds. Transfer chile mixture to small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add Ľ cup water; bring to boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture reduces to 1 ˝ cups, about 5 minutes.
2. Remove chile mixture from heat. Let sit until just warm to the touch. Stir in onions and cilantro. Season with Adobo, to taste.
2. Remove chile mixture from heat. Let sit until just warm to the touch. Stir in onions and cilantro. Season with Adobo, to taste.
Ecuadorian Hot sauce can range in heat from slightly hot to extra spicy. To make a sauce that's mild, remove and discard the white inner membrane and seeds; this is where much of the spice in the chile pepper is stored. For medium heat, add only a portion of the seeds, and for a super fiery ají, do like the brave, and add it all.

Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition
On January 17, 2012, The FL Wildlife Corridor Expedition team kicked off a 1000 mile expedition over a 100 day period to increase public awareness of the need to protect and restore Florida's Wildlife habitat. Bear biologist Joe Guthrie, conservationist Mallory Lykes Dimmitt, and photojournalist Carlton Ward Jr. trekked from the Everglades National Park toward Okefenokee National Forest in southern Georgia. The trio traversed the wildlife habitats, watersheds and participating working farms and ranches, which comprise the Florida Wildlife Corridor opportunity area. The team documented its journey through photography, video streams, radio reports, daily updates on social media and digital networks, and a host of activities for reporters, landowners, celebrities, conservationists, politicians and other guests. Award-winning cinematographer Elam Stoltzfus produced a film about the expedition and the Florida Wildlife Corridor. Join the trio on their expedition through audio and video reports available below. . All Reports are made possible by our production sponsor, The Mosaic Company.

One thousand miles. That's how far a group of people will be walking through the heart of Florida. And they'll do it for 100 days straight - through swamps, cattle pasture and subdivisions on the creeping edge of suburbia.
They're not just doing it to get their feet wet. It's called the Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition.
The Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition is nearing the halfway mark of their trip up the length of Florida - 1,000 miles in 100 days. Their mission is to publicize the need to connect the state's disjointed wild areas into a continuous wildlife corridor. Carlton Ward Jr., Joe Guthrie, Mallory Lykes Dimmitt and Elam Stoltzfus discuss some of...
The Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition crossed the finish line nearly 100 days after setting off in the Everglades on a 1,000-mile journey to the Georgia state line. Their goal - inspiring the creation of a permanent unbroken wildlife corridor.
Wildlife photographer Carlton Ward Jr., filmmaker Elam Stoltzfus, bear biologist Joe Guthrie...
They kayaked, biked and hiked 1,000 miles in 100 days last year through the heart of natural Florida. The Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition is now ready to show the world what they encountered. On Sunday, March 3, the premiere of their one-hour documentary will be held outside the Tampa Bay History Center. Florida Matters' Steve Newborn...

Thread: 50 Gallon Journal (Pic Heavy)
Hybrid View
50 Gallon Journal (Pic Heavy)
Hi guys,
This is going to be my first journal. I am relatively new to fish tanks, when I was younger my dad and I had a turtle tank but I never really took care of it. I started with a Betta and moved onto a 20gal planted community as well as a 10 gal half moon. Both low tech with just some basic fish in them, livebearers, tetras etc. I'd been hoping to get more into the aquarium world and make a larger planted community tank maybe with some dwarf cichlids or something.
Well that aside, I got a free 50 gallon from some friends of friends. Went and picked it up the other day, not exactly what I had been expecting (especially since they told me it was a 75). But it looks like I have my work cut out for me so this may be a very slow journal.
Picked up the tank and it was very very very veerrrry dirty. Iron stand was included but also quite dirty and rusting in some places. Came with two filters, heater, and the typical box of stuff.
Here are some pics of it in my garage:
The Front
The Back
As you can see....very dirty
The Side
Last edited by Kjmov4; 01-30-2013 at 05:58 AM. Reason: Added some of the pictures
The Tops (possibly the worst)
Little close up of the dirty gravel/broken ornament substrate
Few corners look like this
Now the extras!
Gravel Vacuum
Actually in pretty good condition, and really long. Might come in handy so I'll keep.
Probably will keep for now at least. Will eventually want to update to some better plant lights anyways but better than no lights. Although still just reminds me of the hoods....yuck.
Nasty heater
Looks to be fluval, depending on how clean I can/want to try and get this possibly keep
Filter 1
AquaClear 70 or so probably a clean and keep
DEFINITELY going to need new innards for this bad boy though. I think they may have been on the once every 2 year cleaning schedule
Sweet net!
Probably will keep, clean enough.
Filter 2
At first thought was a Marineland and was stoked. Upon further inspection...it is not
Support for the previous observation
Bottom of the box
Haven't opened any of it up but probably a mix of toss/keep items.
Well that's everything that I got from them. Not sure how often I'll be updating as the first steps really are to clean this thing. Decide where (if anywhere in this house) I will put it. And what all I'm doing with it. Just thought I'd start the journal so there can be some sort of before and after process. Also thought I'd get some input from you folks on what to use to clean this up with. Thoughts on what I should toss any sort of advice really.
In the beginning (assuming everything is able to be cleaned) I will probably run it with those to HOB filters. Might buy a canister, have thoughts and daydreams about turning my 20 long into a sump/refugium but I'd have to drill (well would prefer to drill) to do that so that is not a next week task for me. Either way thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed my weekend freebie.
Well worth the price A bit of a clean up and you will be even happier
White vinegar and elbow grease will eliminate much of what I am assuming are hard water crust/stains. I would pitch the substrate and all filter media [As mentioned]. The heater would require CLOSE inspection [And testing] before I would be tempted to keep it.
Congrats on your free score!
Gas mileage isn't everything OIIIIIIIO
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.
I second the vinegar suggestion. Works wonders getting the deposits off. The hardest part will probably be the light and hood if they are textured, its sometimes hard to get into the nooks and crannys to get all of the white junk out.
As far as the rust on the stand, see if you can clean it off with some WD40 and a brass brush. If its just surface rust, you should be able to just repaint it. Double check with good lighting and a magnifying glass to make sure that it isn't pitting or rusting through, because where it is at would pose a risk as it is a major load bearing junction.
Good luck with the tank, starting up can be both amusing and frustrating at times, but stick with it, and take time to work out the kinks and you should be smooth sailing before you know it.Money can't buy happiness, but it sure can pay the rent.
I have rescued two tanks in the past year from craigs list that were similar to this.
1. bone sponge and cloth rags
2. plastic putty knife and razor blade
3. garden hose with running water and a bucket
I have found these work best for me and no chemicals. I start off by emptying tank and throwing away substrate. do a preliminary scrape of the tank with the putty knife and then hose everything out. Once all the big chunks of filth are gone, I fill the tank half way and use the sponge to rigorously scrub the inside and outside and then dump the funk water out again. The I closely inspect every square inch of the tank, both visually and with fingertips feeling for abnormalities in the texture of the glass. I use the razor to scrap any rough spots down to smooth.
Once your tank is complete, its time to focus on the hood. Similar process, but just fill your bucket for your sponge or rag to rinse. It probably takes 3-4 hours from start to finish, but both tanks have been pristine when finished. Good luck sir!55 Gallon Freshwater Tank (semi-planted) 48"x21"x13"

This is an awesome use of computer softwware to enable a better future. This kid has a very bright future if he keeps down this path, I only hope that the generation up and coming understands that even the smallest changes can help with the preservation of the planet.
Teen to government: Change your typeface, save millions
(CNN) -- An e. You can write it with one fluid swoop of a pen or one tap of the keyboard. The most commonly used letter in the English dictionary. Simple, right?
Now imagine it printed out millions of times on thousands of forms and documents. Then think of how much ink would be needed.
OK, so that may have been a first for you, but it came naturally to 14-year-old Suvir Mirchandani when he was trying to think of ways to cut waste and save money at his Pittsburgh-area middle school.
It all started as a science fair project. As a neophyte sixth-grader at Dorseyville Middle School, Suvir noticed he was getting a lot more handouts than he did in elementary school.
Interested in applying computer science to promote environmental sustainability, Suvir decided he was going to figure out if there was a better way to minimize the constant flurry of paper and ink.
