At its sand mining operation in west-central Wisconsin, Badger Mining Corp. had 6,000 acres of woods, coulees, wetlands, streams and old fields that were used mainly for hunting. The firm wanted to understand the status of vegetation, wildlife, and threatened and endangered (T&E) species on the property. And they wanted action items they could implement to improve ecological conditions and meet management objectives.
AES integrated a variety of tools and resources – T&E species records, historical documents, GIS mapping and imagery – to target priority areas for field surveys. Extensive field investigations – quantitative and qualitative – on vegetation, wildlife, ecological communities, and T&E species were described and mapped in GIS platform.
Based on natural resource studies and company goals, AES wrote a natural resource and wildlife management plan recommending habitat management activities in each of 19 designated Management Units. AES also produced individual pocket-sized Management Field Guides that provide site-specific direction to crew leaders conducting restoration tasks.

Re: Adkins Family Vol. II
Ronnie Adkins 4/07/04
What evidence do you have of William Adkin's birthdate?
Abraham Childer's will was made in 1693, it was probated in 1698.
There is no proof that John and Anne Childers married on July 13, 1700. There is no marriage bond, marriage date or ministers return. True there is a date, but that may have been when it was recorded on the church registry.
What proof do you have that Parker Adkins is the son of William and Elizabeth Adkins? What proof do you have that Littleberry Adkins is the son of Parker?
You state that there is no Indian heritage for the descendants of Parker Adkins. How can you make that blanket statement when you don't even know who Parker's wife was?
Your first book of 771 pages gave ONE page to Parker Adkins.
Ronnie, I had checked your book in the Kenova,WVA library long before I ever purchased your book. I was disappointed then because it was the same ole stuff that was in the Fry and Bartram books.
William Bartram's father and mother were Anne Pew Childers and John Adkins. Your evidence is not credible.

Danielle O'Steen, art history and archaeology Ph.D. candidate, and Rachel Walker, history Ph.D. candidate, are among the four University of Maryland graduate students awarded a Big 10 Academic Alliance/Smithsonian Institution Fellowship for 2017.
These one-year fellowships are offered by the Graduate Deans of the Big 10 Academic Alliance in partnership with the Smithsonian's Office of Fellowships and Internships. The awards support outstanding doctoral candidates from Big 10 institutions who intend to conduct research using Smithsonian collections, facilities or experts in cooperation with at least one Smithsonian advisor.
Danielle O'Steen is currently writing her dissertation on the use of plastics in American sculpture in the 1960s and 1970s. For her fellowship, she will be in residence at the Smithsonian American Art Museum but will collaborate with researchers across the Smithsonian, including people in the Air and Space Museum.
"I'm an art historian, but my research is at the intersection of technological and cultural histories," O'Steen says. "The Smithsonian is one of the few places where I can work with researchers who have a strong knowledge of both American art history and the history of plastics."
Rachel Walker's research is an interdisciplinary exploration of beauty, science and social hierarchy in early America. It focuses on physiognomy, the once-popular pseudoscience of determining character through facial features. Physiognomy was often used to justify slavery and perpetuate gender inequality. Walker will be in residence at the Smithsonian American Art Museum during her fellowship to study how eighteenth and nineteenth-century American portrait artists used physiognomy to inform their work.
"Scientific knowledge was an essential part of creating and enjoying art in the nineteenth century," Walker says. "By studying the portraits and archives of these artists who incorporated physiognomy into their work, I hope to learn more about how discourses of art, science, race and gender intersected in early America."
Only twenty five awards were made, and UMD had more fellows this year than any other institution. The other two awardees from UMD were Leann Biancani, biological sciences Ph.D. student, and Miriam Hiebert, materials science and engineering Ph.D. student.

Prescription drug abuse is the use of prescription drugs in ways not intended by the prescribing doctor; this includes taking a higher dosage than prescribed, or taking the drugs for a longer time period than prescribed. While most people take medicines only for the reasons their doctors prescribe them, an estimated 48 million Americans have used prescription drugs for nonmedical reasons and can then develop a prescription drug addiction. This represents 20 percent of Americans. Studies show that these numbers are continuing to rise from adults and adolescents, making prescription drug abuse a serious and growing problem in the United States.
The most commonly abused prescription drugs are Opioid painkillers
CNS depressants (sedatives and tranquilizers)
Possible Indicators that a person is abusing prescription medications:

The G8 foreign ministers, a group of nations with a broad range of global interests, met in London on Wednesday and Thursday to address multiple international issues, including the Syrian conflict.
The ministers condemned the use of heavy weapons in residential Syrian areas and reaffirmed that the use of chemical weapons would compel a significant response internationally. The ministers also reaffirmed the necessity of safeguarding sites where chemical weapons are held.
Since the conflict began, more than 70,000 people were killed, more than a million Syrian refugees were registered in neighboring countries and more than two million people were internally displaced within the country itself.
The G8 ministers acknowledged the role neighboring countries played in hosting refugees and emphasized the need for the international community to help the countries most burdened by the displaced Syrians. The ministers called on all countries to join with them to maximize contributions to the latest appeals by the U.N. during this challenging situation.
The ministers affirmed their commitment to a Syrian-led political transition that should meet the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people and allow them to independently and democratically choose their own future.
The foreign ministers condemned all human rights abuses and violations in Syria and called on all parties involved to respect international human rights.

Kerala recreating Salim Ali's famous bird survey (With Image)January 3rd, 2009 - 11:56 am ICT by IANS
Munnar (Kerala) Jan 3 (IANS) Exactly this day 75 years ago, India's best-known birdman Salim Ali started a survey that is still considered a benchmark in ornithology. A group of bird lovers is restarting the same survey from the same spot Saturday.Ali carried out his survey on 172 days spread out over the entire year, at 19 different locations in what were then the princely states of Travancore and Cochin. Three of the 19 locations are in present-day Tamil Nadu.
The Kerala State Biodiversity Board and its Forest and Wildlife Department have taken the initiative to start the survey at Marayuur near here, the spot from which Ali had started. They will end on Dec 31, as Ali did.
The livewire of the project and Principal Chief Conservator of Forests,T.M. Manoharan, said: "A lot of bird enthusiasts and students of Ali are coordinating with the four-member core team who will actually do the survey.
"The forest department will play the role of facilitator and we are deputing a handful of our staff who are enthusiasts so as to build a special team for the future," Manoharan told IANS.
But unlike Ali, the present survey team is armed with digital cameras and global positioning system (GPS) equipment. Like Ali, they will carry binoculars and call recorders.
E. Kunhikrishnan, a zoology professor at University College, Thiruvananthapuram, and a keen ornithologist, said that Kerala is one state where bird surveys take place every year. "This event is just to re-live the exploits of the great ornithologist Ali."
"Kerala today has more than 500 varieties of birds and the present survey would do a comparative study with the famous book written by Ali then, the 'Ornithology of Travancore and Cochin'," said Kunhikrishnan. He will be a facilitator to the survey team.
In 1933, bird specimens were collected, different parameters of each bird were recorded and then the skin was processed and stored at the Bombay Natural History Museum.
Each collection centre was marked using a magnetic compass and the altitude of each station using altimeter. No attempt was made to study the population or density of each species.
Ali's wife Tehmina accompanied him during the survey. The lesser golden-backed woodpecker, found in Kerala, is named after her (Dinopium benghalense tehminae).
Manoharan added that the Kerala Council for Historical Research has also shown interest in joining the survey team.
"They would be interested in the historical aspect and this is going to add colour to our efforts. At each location the team will interact with students and those interested in ornithology," he said.

Hailed by victorious European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley as one of junior golf's Majors, the event will see 21 finalists – 12 boys and nine girls – compete at the award-winning venue from October 12-17 for the opportunity to join an illustrious roll call of previous winners.
The highly-regarded 54-hole strokeplay competition is celebrating a landmark 30th anniversary in 2015, with past champions including 2013 US Open winner Justin Rose, Tom Lewis, Tommy Fleetwood, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Melissa Reid, Hayley Davis and Carly Booth.
Portugal's Vitor Lopes and rising England star India Clyburn claimed the boys' and girls' titles after three days of fierce competition in 2014 – with Lopes becoming the first European to win the tournament – and Quinta do Lago is looking forward to its new North Course staging another exciting tournament later this year.
John Dwyer, chief executive of Quinta do Lago, said: "Everyone at Quinta do Lago is delighted to be hosting the final for the third year in a row.
"The juniors were blown away by last year's experience when they played the North Course shortly after it had reopened and it is ideally suited to host such an important event on the junior calendar. The layout is very different and a real challenge, and we're looking forward to welcoming the finalists later this year."
Qualifying for the 2015 Telegraph BMW Junior Championship began this spring and hundreds of qualifying rounds will be staged at clubs across the UK this summer, with the eventual finalists again including the winners of a nett competition for boys and girls introduced last year, with the age limit being increased to under-18.
Officially opened by McGinley last October, Quinta do Lago's North Course was one of the most talked-about design projects in Europe in 2014, with the venue being completed in the space of just ten months.
One of three world-class championship courses at the luxury venue, the new-look layout has quickly become a firm favourite with golfers and was named 'Europe's Best New Golf Course' at the 2014 World Golf Awards.
Redesigned by renowned American architect Beau Welling in close collaboration with McGinley, the North Course has been built to the highest specification and has been redeveloped with the emphasis firmly on precision and strategy.
While many modern-day developments tend to focus on length, Welling and McGinley have been keen to design a golfing experience where accuracy and course management are the key factors, and a course that is playable and fun for players of all abilities.
Set amongst 2,000 acres of the picturesque Ria Formosa Natural Park, Quinta do Lago has been at the forefront of European golf since opening in 1972, with its championship courses matched by outstanding practice facilities including Europe's only Paul McGinley Golf Academy, the only TaylorMade Performance Center in Southern Europe and a new short game area – also created by McGinley and Welling.

Today we recall that infamous day in 1941 that pulled us into WWII. Roosevelt's words assuring us that "the only thing that we have to fear is fear itself" are just as valuable and true today with our culture of violence and terrorists threats.
Like the person who can't see the forest for the trees, there are those who would focus too much on one threat to the detriment of all others. We need broad vision and clarity to address the existential threat of radicalism and religious extremism in all its various forms.
As it will invariably happen for years and decades to come, the commentary that follows such violence as Paris and San Bernardino will elevate the fear that urges many to over react and ignore civil liberties. Anger at high pitch will cherry pick those actions that justify the need to intern all Muslims and arm every individual with a small arsenal of weapons.
The local editorial here in my hometown regurgitates the same alarming message heard around the country that claims "America must face the hard truth". We are reminded that the insanity that is ISIS can now strike anywhere and hit targets that are not even associated with those that they feel pose a direct threat to their cause.
And though no one, regardless of political stripe, denies this, these messages suggest that those who would caution about overreactions to this threat are in fact guilty of not facing the hard truth. It's a message that continues to divide us as a people because its subtle inference is that unless we react in a certain manner that tends to vilify Islam in general and limit it's spread across America, then we are in effect aiding & abetting the enemy.
Better to be safe than sorry and see one innocent Muslim American die or be herded into jail without due process of the law than see other innocent Americans die is the undertone of many, especially those who rally around the messages of Donald Trump who says he will have no problem recreating the intern camps that were shamefully initiated with Japanese Americans in WWII. Meanwhile the other GOP candidates tell campaign crowds that they will prevent entry into this country of middle eastern refugees trying themselves to escape the ISIS violence.
Such fear will ultimately achieve the very thing that a small band of Muslim extremists cannot achieve on their own – the demise of American civil society that has evolved over the years. Terrorist groups around the globe will never have the formidable military man-power and weaponry to defeat sovereign democracies in any conventional sense. They know this and their actions have always reflected this.
But their intent gets lost with the outrage we allow ourselves to dwell in and seek "justice" by blowing them and every living thing around them off of the face of the earth. As if they were actually isolated in such a fashion from mainstream societies that harbor us no ill will.
Then there is the other side of this coin that has 2nd amendment zealots gleefully pointing out that the strict gun laws in California failed to prevent the San Bernardino violence. To them this is evidence that sane gun control measures have no value and allows them to up their maddening claim that more guns, not less, is what will stop all of the violence.
"Strong gun laws do prevent gun deaths. Not every law can prevent every gun death," said Allison Anderman, a staff attorney with the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence in San Francisco. "They work most of the time." SOURCE
Never mind that the laws may well have prevented other nefarious acts with some that have gone unnoticed or unrecorded. And then there is the bigger concern that allows such tragedies to occur in the first place. The fact that the U.S. has more gun violence than all other developed countries combined speaks to a culture that allows damn near anyone who doesn't walk into a gun shop wearing a tin foil cap and in some wild-eyed fashion declares their intent to wipe out those who exists in their paranoid state of mind, to purchase as many guns and as much ammo that fits their budget.
"It is a moral outrage and a national disgrace that civilians can legally purchase weapons designed specifically to kill people with brutal speed and efficiency. These are weapons of war, barely modified and deliberately marketed as tools of macho vigilantism and even insurrection." SOURCE
The twisted notion that the intent by the 2nd amendment covers such insanity is bought into easily by people who may themselves never commit mass murders but who are likely to shrug their shoulders when it does occur to victims they have hidden or even overt hostilities toward. It is further enhanced by the collusion of conservative state and national representatives who pander to the National Rifle Association and those they defend – gun manufacturers.
What gets lost in such extreme reactions is that no one really wants to down play the threat of terrorists, Muslim or American, who have either been radicalized or are a part of a larger more organized movement. Many of us have been accused of such by the 2nd amendment zealots and Islamophobes on blog message boards.
Likewise, no one wants to take away guns or prevent their sale to people who live in unsafe neighborhoods and feel the need to defend themselves or that prevents hunters from engaging in their sport. These straw man arguments come from the peanut gallery of those who exhibit irrational Islamophobia and 2nd amendment zealotry to exploit the human weakness that comes from tragedies like Paris and Newtown; San Bernardino and Charleston, S.C.
All Americans, every single one of us, wants those in authority to take the necessary action to curb and end this violence. But it must be done without losing our civil liberties and devolving into actions not unlike the very people we are being threatened by.
We must not allow the violence to breed a narrative that pits us against each other. By creating an atmosphere that leads to the implosion of American culture, a small group of delusional extremists can achieve more than anything a militarily powerful nation can accomplish.

By now you should have untangled the characters. If you are still having trouble, bookmark the page in the book where the characters are listed in approximate order of appearance. The difficulty for most of you is simply that the Japanese names are somewhat unfamiliar, AND we met so many new characters at once at the minshuku in Shiroyama. You are going to have to focus more to keep the character confusion to a minimum...
By now you should also have a better grasp on what you think of each of the characters, based on their own actions and the way they treat others in the book. So, for this week, pick a character and talk about what that character has done up to this point and how that has changed or added to your assessment of this character. Some of these characters exist simply to move the plot forward, so be careful that you are not making the character more important than he or she is. I have listed the characters again for you here, many of whom were NOT at the minshuku--we meet them when Rei returns to Tokyo. I have grouped the characters in clusters so that their relationship is more obvious:
Rei's family, friends, and frenemies:
- Rei Shimura--a young Japanese American woman [described by one character as a Christmas cake...] who is trying to make a living in Tokyo. She works as an English teacher at Nichiyu--they are marketing a new rice cooker.
- Aunt Norie--Rei's aunt [father's side] who lives in Yokohama with her son Tom; she wishes Rei were more traditional.
- Dr. "Tom" Shimura--Rei's cousin, he is a doctor who works at Saint Luke's Hospital. He helps Rei by translating the autopsy report.
- Richard Randall--Rei's roommate who also works at Nichiyu as an English teacher. There is some question about his sexual orientation...
- Marcelle Chapman--an American tourist who meets Rei on the train to Shiroyama and is also staying at the minshuku. She seemed to be trying to invite herself to be Rei's house guest when they return to Tokyo, but there is not enough room in Rei's tiny apartment, so Marcelle is staying in a hotel in Tokyo.
- Taro and Yuki Ikeda--a couple Rei met at the minshuku. Taro has an interest in "ancient" crime, and Yuki was the one who made the Christmas Cake comment, so although Rei meets them for lunch in Tokyo, it would be hard to call these two "friends."
- Mr. Waka--the convenience store owner who seems to look out for Rei and chides her often about her rice ball fast-food diet!
- Yasushi Ishida--an elderly dealer in antiques who is going to be instrumental in giving Rei some financial security.
- Captain Jiro Okuhara--the police Chief in Shiroyama, he seems to think Rei has more to do with Setsuko's death than she is telling him, but she tells him enough that he arrests Hugh for the murder!
- Mayumi Yogetsu: the innkeeper in Shiroyama, she blames Rei for the broken gas heater that nearly kills her and the torn shoji screen. Her death at Rei's train station is NOT accidental...
The Sendai Group:
- Setsuko Nakamura--Senji's "trophy" wife who loved her clothes and pearls. She is the murder victim who hated her husband and seems to have given birth to a child no one knows anything about.
- Senji Nakamura--an executive with Sendai, he is Setsuko's widower and an associate of Hugh Glendenning. Seiji may or may not be involved with the yakuza, the Japanese mafia, but he definitely is a shady [and somewhat nasty] character. He has a mistress whose black lace teddy is found by Rei when she is searching his house, disguised as a maid. He seems to delight in humiliating women, but can you see him as a murderer?
- Hugh Glendenning--a Scot, a lawyer, and a love interest for Rei, and any other woman within a mile, apparently. He seems to be attracted to Rei, but then again, there is something odd about his relationship with Setsuko--he bought her clothes and accompanied her around town, with the full knowledge of her husband! He has a great apartment in the Roppongi Hills section of the city. He injures his ankle while searching for a missing colleague on the ski slopes and ends up in jail because Rei just can't seem to keep her mouth shut about this case.
- Kenji Yamamoto--a junior salaryman at Sendai. He disappears on the ski slope in Shiroyama and turns up in Hugh's bathroom in Roppongi Hills. There is something slimy about him, and we are about to find out what it is...
- Junichi Ota--Hugh's lawyer. He is somewhat worried about what Rei keeps saying to the police...
- Hikari Yasui--an Office Lady at Sendai who might be missing a black lace teddy.
Club Marimba and the Yokosuka Naval Base Denizens
- Mariko Ozawa--she works at JaBank AND as a "hostess" at Club Marimba. She is quite self-centered and believes that her mother died years ago; Mariko is shocked to discover that Setsuko is her mother. Mariko's father was a black American sailor, so she has a very exotic look, and she and Richard get to be quite chummy, which annoys Rei more often than not.
- Kiki--the Club Marimba owner who is Setsuko's sister and Mariko's aunt. She gives Rei a lot of information about Setsuko's background--Setsuko's father was an American whi has sent her money each month for years. Setsuko's, liaison with an American who fathered Mariko, and Kiki raises her as they saw Setsuko as the one more likely to make a "successful" marriage, but not with a child tagging along. Kiki seems to disapprove of these Japanese women foreign men relationships--she is wholly Japanese.
- Joe Roncoletti--an ex-patriot American who was stationed in Japan during the post war occupation, and now he has made a life for himself here. He seems attracted to Rei, but he has been roped into accompanying Marcelle Chapman to social events. He is NOT Mariko's father!
- Jimmy O'Donnell--a US Navy veteran, he knows a lot about those Japanese woman/American sailor relationships from the late 1940s through the 1950s. Does he hold the key to this mystery?
OK, let's get talking about these characters and determine WHO we suspect of being the murderer and WHY we think that!

TWENTY-five empty properties are to be brought back in to use every year according to new council targets.
Scarborough Council is producing a new Empty Homes Strategy to address the issue of vacant properties in the borough.
The authority is proposing the new plan, which will run from 2011 to 2015, will follow a package of measures and actions to tackle the empty homes problem and bring at least 25 properties per year back in to use.
Such measures include targeting specific empty homes to bring back in to use, utilising an empty homes officer to tackle the issue and creating a provision of advice and guidance including web based information.
Andy Skelton, head of Environmental Services at Scarborough Council, said: "The new strategy reflects the need for the council to take a more strategic and proactive approach to bringing empty homes back in to use.
"With the recent Government cut backs to funding of new affordable housing bringing empty homes back in to use will be seen as an important too for increasing the supply of new affordable housing over the next few years.
"While there are no direct crime and disorder implications arising from this report it is widely recognised that long term empty properties attract anti social behaviour and reducing the number of empty homes will reduce instances of anti social behaviour."
The new empty homes strategy is being developed as the existing strategy is now a number of years old and has been deemed by officials as "not fit for purpose".
The number of empty homes within the council's boundaries amounted to 1,869 in 2009, which represents approximately 3.4 per cent of the total housing stock.
Of that figure 702 had been empty for longer than six months, representing about 1.25 per cent of the total household stock and 37.5 per cent of the number of empty homes.
The new strategy states the vast majority of the empty homes are within the private sector. There are fewer than 100 empty homes within the social housing sector, of which a very limited number have been empty for longer than six months.
According to council figures the number of empty homes in the borough has significantly decreased since 2000 when there were more than 3,000 empty.

I love photos that involve people.
I have never felt the need to try and identify my photography style but what I can say is that I have a true passion for photography that involves people, be that portraiture, lifestyle or street. I love the stories a face can tell, the memories and emotions it can evoke, how body language can change the look and feel, and how we interact with each other.
I have had the greatest amount of fun to date with this style of photography, one minute I could be in front of the camera and the next behind
capturing that moment. Blessed with two beautiful children, they give me endless opportunities to capture photos full of emotion. There is far less control with this style and for me it sits nicely between portrait photography, where I have near full control and street photography, where I have little or no control.
A few seconds before I shot the picture to the right I was playing with my family, having fun on a bright, sunny day on the beach. The photo has great feeling and emotion and brings back many fond memories of the moment.
More recently I have been exploring the creative side of fashion photography, from the early stages of an idea through to the finished result it is a great feeling to create that one image that portrays beauty, be it in a garment, a hair style or the model.
I have been fortunate enough to work alongside some great fashion photographers on location and in the studio. And whilst I love the emotion and excitment on location shoots give there are also times when a simple pure solid backdrops found in studio can create amazing hi and low light results where the subject just pops.
This style of photography has no boundaries but for me it will generally involve people. I have always classified myself as a people watcher; I'm interested and intrigued by everyday lives. This style of photography doesn't require expensive or bulky equipment, but what it does require is an eye for a moment and perfect timing. I The results you get when interacting with your subject can be very different to those you capture when your subject is caught unaware. I enjoy both styles as each can give a unique feel and it all depends what you are trying to create. Once you decide on the style, photography techniques such as depth of field, framing and composition can be used in order to create an image that conveys a compelling story. The photo to the right was captured on a cold winter's afternoon at the top of the South Downs. The couple were just setting off on a walk and the sun dropping in the foreground wrapped them with a warm glow, I wished I was heading off on the walk myself.

Quick card today. I wanted to use a new stencil I have from Create a Smile. I also wanted to make a masculine birthday card, and I had my Distress ink blending tool already on my desk, so that determined how I would use the stencil (because I was in a lazy mood). A white embossed sentiment from Hero Arts onto a scrap of black cardstock, and I'm done!
Virginia's View. I'll also be submitting this to Just Us Girls, who have an Anything Goes challenge.

Last week the Russian Athletics Federation took a huge hit with the news that 3 banned athletes competed while on their ban. Subsequent attempts to cover this up only led to further unraveling and more violations coming to light. This specific incident was isolated to race walk but is indicative of the larger problem within Russia. It is now more important than ever for the athletics community to come together and make a stand for clean sport.
So here I am, reaching out to the global athletics community, asking all the athletes, coaches, and fans out there to take a stand for clean sport and speak out against what is going on in Russia (and while you're at it, Kenya, Turkey and any other countries that have no regard for anti-doping standards). United we can make a difference.
This morning a bombshell dropped with news that in addition to Bakulin, 4 more Olympic/ World Championship medalists have been banned. They include Olga Kaniskina, Valery Borchin, Sergey Kirdyapkin and Vladimir Kanyakin. These 5 athletes have been banned since late 2012 and as it stands right now will lose some of their World Champs medals, but keep their Olympic Medals.
This is how their bans breakdown:
Basically what has happened is that RUSADA has annulled results from certain points but kept other results in place. Personally I have never seen this with a bio passport case where an athlete can lose results between Point A and B as well as between C and D but not between B and C. IAAF or WADA can now appeal the ban for longer sanctions.
One of the more interesting points in all of this is how the case has been handled between the IAAF and RUSADA, quote from AP article:
"Khabriev [RUSADA General Director] said the delay was because the IAAF passed the cases to the Russian athletics federation for adjudication, but he said the federation lacked the resources to deal with "the specificity of biological passport cases."
Khabriev said processing of the cases resumed only this summer after the agency started to investigate the Russian race-walking training center for multiple doping violations. During the course of that investigation, he said the agency obtained the biological passport data and began its own analysis."
What it seems like is that the IAAF passed this on to the Russian Athletics Federation who did nothing with it for nearly 2 years, before RUSADA opened up a separate investigation into the Saransk Training Centre and came across this data. If this is true then both the IAAF and Russian Athletics Federation are at fault of negligence at the least. It's also strange why the IAAF would hand this off to the Russians when it is their mandate to investigate Bio Passport stuff themselves (as per IAAF Anti Doping Regulations- Section 6.6). This certainly isn't the last we've heard about this side of the story.
A few more interesting revelations to come out of today's news:
- Sergey Kirdyapkin was also pictured competing in the Dec 30 race. His ban was set to end early 2016 to make him still eligible for Rio. Is WADA regulations are followed his ban should now extend to 2018, leaving him out of Rio
- Olga Kaniskina was announced on Dec 26th as the new president of the Saransk Race Walking Centre. This was pretty big news. The IAAF new that she was banned and didn't do anything to stop this. It also clearly shows how little value the Russians place on doping bans.
- IAAF/ WADA regulations seem to suggest that all results from the first rule violation are to be stripped. It is unclear to me how this might relate to bio passport cases but it presents a strong argument that these selective sanctions are inappropriate
- Additionally there are many athletes here who will be financially affected by these results. It should be noted that repayment of prize money is only made IF the ineligible athlete pays back his winnings. However nothing in the code precludes clean athletes from taking appropriate legal action. It would be interesting to see how this would work in this case and if there could be the potentially for a class-action type suit against these 5 athletes/ the Saransk centre. Any lawyers out there have good insights on this?

Minister of Sport, Mutko, comments on possibility of criminal action against Viktor Chegin: http://itar-tass.com/sport/1709462
A couple of weeks ago photos surfaced online of a race which featured Elena Lashmanova. This race happened on Dec 30, 2014. Lashmanova, the World and Olympic Champion is currently serving a 2 year doping ban that expires February 2016. Her participation in this race is a clear violation of WADA Code section 10.12.1. And under section 10.12.3 the penalty for such participation is a ban equal in length to the original ban to added to the end of the existing ban. Originally Lashmanova would have been eligible to compete in Rio in 2016, however if her ban is extended she will miss out. (Note these photos have since been deleted, but can be seen in my last post).
To try and avoid this fate, Dmitry Fedotov, the organizer for this event and an employee of the Saransk training centre (a governmentally funded athletics centre) claimed that these photos featuring Lashmanova were actually from 2012. I was quick to point out the impossibility of this due to the fact that they were wearing shoes that weren't available in 2012 and from there a number of people across the globe who were following the story pointed out many other inconsistencies that made this impossible.
At the same time a number of new photos showed up claiming to be from the 2014 race/ podium that didn't feature a number of the athletes. There were also any number of reasons why these photos couldn't have been from the Dec 30 race. The original photos featuring Lashmanova then showed up in an old album on the Saransk website to try and show that they were from 2012. Again we showed how this wasn't the case. It became pretty evident that the Saransk centre were trying to cover up this infraction and that those new photos that appeared were staged, after the fact, to fit the narrative they were trying to write.
When we looked through the photos again we noticed that the 2012 World Junior Champion Ekaterina Medvedeva was also competing (currently serving a 2 year ban that ends June 2015) and that Sergey Bakulin (the 2011 World Champion over 50km) appeared on the podium in the original photographs but not in the new staged photos. The only thing was, up until this point, nothing had ever been said about Bakulin serving a ban (although there had been some suspicions).
The first big step forward came Jan16 when President of the Russian Athletics Federation Valentin Balahnichev confirmed that Lashmanova, Medvedeva and Bakulin had no right to be competing in the competition. This was the first time anything official had been said about Bakulin and then the IAAF confirmed that Bakulin has been provisionally suspended since December 2012 in relation to abnormalities in his biological passport (a record of blood values that over time can be used to detect blood doping).
Where do we go next?
The easiest step is to simply extend the bans of Medvedeva and Lashmanova as per WADA Code section 10.12.3.
It then becomes a bit more complicated. First of all we need to know why the Bakulin case has been kept quiet for over 2 years. Bio passport cases can take a long time to gather information but I have never heard of a case taking 2 years. It is interesting to note that 2 of Bakulin's teammates who are currently serving life bans had their results stripped from Feb25, 2011. It is likely that they have a blood profile for Bakulin from the same day and if his ban was extended back this far he would lose his World Champs Gold medal and his Olympic 5th place and World Cup 4th place. In October it was announced that Andrey Ruzavin had been provisionally suspended due to a bio passport case. So provisional bans aren't confidential. Why was the Bakulin case kept secret? Who bears the responsibility to announce this, was it the IAAF, WADA or RUSADA? And what other information is being kept quiet?
The next thing that needs to be dealt with is the blatant attempted coverup by Russia. The Saransk centre is a national training centre that reportedly receives $2 million in funding. They've clearly tried to cover up that an ADRV took place, which lends itself to the question, how many times has this happened before? This isn't the only violation the centre has to its name. Sergey Morozov who is currently serving a life time ban appeared in photos from the Dec race in what looks like a coaching role. He was also pictured at the 2014 World Cup of Walking with an official team accreditation. Finally, he is actually listed as a coach on the Saransk training centre's website. These kind of flagrant violations act to show that doping in Russia isn't viewed as an problem. If you are banned it simply means you can't compete internationally. You still get to train, receive funding and are still viewed as a champion. In fact on the Saransk centre's webpage, their "about me" section lists German Skurygin as the world champion in 1999 even though he lost that title because of a doping ban.
Handing out doping bans to the athletes is clearly ineffective in Russia. In this case the entire Saransk centre needs to be sanctioned, starting with the president of the centre, Olga Kaniskina, the coach, Viktor Chegin, and the staff responsible for manipulating the photographs. It should also be determined how much fault the other athletes that appeared in the staged photographs have. This is an attempt to cover up an ADRV and should be punished as such. Those athletes are Ivanov, Rhyzov, Strelkov, Alembekova, Sokolova and Kirdyapkina.
If even some of the allegations from the ARD German Documentary can be proven (allegations of systematic doping) then the sanction has to go farther than just the centre. It is well within the IAAFs right to hand down a sanction to the entire Russian Athletics Federation given the number of violations and attempted coverups. These rights can be found under section 14.7 of the IAAF Constitution.
This issue hasn't gained as much publicity and outrage as it should have. Many people don't seem to care because it is happening in race walk. It has to be remembered though that the implications here are much bigger as this case is a microcosm of what is going on across Russia. This centre has produced many world and Olympic champions and these athletes are viewed as hero's in the state of Mordovia. Imagine if the Nike Oregon Project head coach, Alberto Salazar had coached 23 athletes that had served drug bans and was still coaching. And now imagine that NOP didn't receive it's funding from Nike but rather received government funds... say for example that the US Postal Service was sponsoring NOP... Now this would be a big story wouldn't it? This is no different. (Note: I am in no way implicating NOP in doping)
So many clean athletes have lost out on hearing their anthem played while standing atop the podium; minor medals; spots in finals; fulfilling lifelong dreams; becoming role models and many other things due to these cheats. It may be too late for those athletes to hear their anthem in a full stadium but if we, the global athletics community, can band together in saying no more, in taking a stand for clean sport... then maybe, just maybe we can help ensure that the next athlete who rises to the top of the podium is doing so with a clean conscious.

G.T.R. Station, Markham, Ont., Canada
In 1871, the Toronto & Nipissing Railway came to Markham. The Grand Trunk Railway took over the railway in 1893, and became part of CNR in 1918.
High School, Markham
Secondary school education beyond grade 8 (or the "upper fourth" as it was then known) began in 1857, when the Markham Grammar School opened on a site between Franklin and George Streets north of Church Street. In the 1860s, the school moved to the site at the corner of Joseph and Albert Streets.
Girls were not admitted to the school until 1868.
In 1871, the railway came through Markham Village, making high school-level education accessible for young people in other villages. The school became Markham High School, and students came in by train daily from places like Stouffville, Unionville and Agincourt. However, travel on local roads was still so slow that students from remoter hamlets and farms often boarded in the village during the week, going home only on weekends.
After World War II, rapid population growth led to the opening of the new and modern Markham District High School on Church Street in 1954. The old school building became the Markham Union Masonic Lodge.
Main Street, Mount Joy, Ontario
Agriculture Building, Markham, Ontario, Canada
"Quite a heavy fall of snow had fallen during the night and the fire brigade had some difficulty in getting reels through the snow, but in 15 minutes had two streams playing on the blazing buildings. A thirty mile gale was blowing, and in less than an hour the rink and hall were burned to the ground."
Rectory and Grace Anglican Church
Grace Anglican Church
Methodist Church, Markham, Ont.
Built in 1862 as a Wesleyan Methodist Church. When the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches united in 1926, this building became St. Andrew's United Church (32 Main Street). A later vestibule addition now covers the eastern front seen here.

Postcard Collections
A hundred years later, postcards provide us with a fascinating glimpse of the way the world used to be. Markham Village, with its tradition of stewardship of its built heritage, is unusual in that many of these postcard scenes are still recognizable to 21st century eyes. The streets are paved now and filled with motor vehicle traffic, but many of the streetscapes shown in the postcards are still with us.

Main Street Looking South
At the far end of the sidewalk, we can see the Second Empire rooflines of the rowhouses built by the Speight Wagon Company in 1895 to house the Company's employees. The white house in the centre of the photograph is the Wedding Cake House at 48 Main Street North, built in c. 1870, and well-known for its elaborate gingerbread. To its right is the circular corner tower of the Queen Anne Revival style house built at 54 Main in 1910 by Ernest Crosby.
View Looking North
Looking north on an unpaved Main Street, with one car driving down the middle of the street, and a couple of pedestrians on what appears to be recently poured sidewalks.
In the left foreground is the Franklin House Hotel, on the southwest corner of Main and Robinson - now a parking lot.
On the right side of the street, the building with the awning was a general store operated by the Reive family. Just beyond is the Post Office building which opened in 1910 at the corner of Joseph and Main. It was demolished in 1978 to make way for the Bank of Nova Scotia.
Entrance to Fairgrounds
For much of its first two centuries, Markham Township was known as one of Canada's best agricultural areas, and much of its early prosperity was based on farming. Markham's annual Fall Fair grew out of that prosperity, the creation of a proud and forward-thinking farming community. By the late 19th century, Markham Fair had become one of the largest fall fairs in the country.
The Fair site is now occupied by the Markham Village Library and the Markham Arena.
