Mining Buff Restoring 140-Year-Old Silver Mine on New Mexico Tech Campus, July 17, 2008
By Thomas Guengerich
SOCORRO, N.M., July 17, 2008 – Phil Kozushko of the mineral engineering department at New Mexico Tech is on a mission. The Tech alumnus and adjunct professor is rehabilitating the Merritt Mine at the base of 'M' Mountain, giving the 1,250-foot long mine a new lease on life.
Right: Phil Kozushko explains his efforts to rehabilitate the Merritt Mine to New Mexico Tech student Roger Renteria. Kozushko uncovered the push cart track and, in places, put the track back together.
"This is a historical preservation activity," Kozushko said. "I've been in a hundred mines and I love them all, but this one is special. We have an archive of all the students who used that mine for their research and studies in the early days of our college."
From about 1909 to 1965, students in the geology, metallurgy and mining engineering departments used the Merritt Mine for field work. Many – if not all – of the students wrote their names and the year in soot from their carbide lamps.
Most of the writing is basic – first initial, last name and year. Some students included their hometown. Other writing is obscene or humorous.
The timbers in the Merritt Mine truly represent a 56 year archive of New Mexico Tech students. Nearly every support beam and truss has the name of a former student from 1909 to 1965. Burgess Crenshaw signed his name on October 15, 1920. Sally E. and Betty B. – certainly two of the first women to study at the School of Mines – left no date by their names.
B. Zack of Ontario left his mark in 1912. D. Zack of Calgary left his mark in 1921. Nearly 40 years later in 1960, Dave Zack of Atikokan, Ontario, left his mark in pencil.
The parade of names continues for the entirety of the 1,250 foot-long shaft. Nearly every state is represented, as well as several European and South American countries.
Kozushko hopes that the mine could be opened for periodic tours for alumni, perhaps on 49'ers and other special occasions. He's certain the mine will be a featured attraction for alumni from the 1960s and earlier.
Kozushko is one year into a project to rehabilitate the mine and restore it to its original condition. He is bracing and replacing broken boards, cleaning out the shaft tunnels, re-installing the tracks for the push cart and making the shafts as safe for viewing as possible.
Last year, three students helped Kozushko work at the mine. During the fall semester, he hopes to have five students working with him.
Sitting outside the mine are more than a dozen rusting machines from several eras. Kozushko is not only putting the mine back together; he's also putting together the jigsaw puzzle that is the Merritt Mine's history.
Phil "Kozy" Kozushko holds a piece of 'slag,' which he said is evidence of the student's mining activities in the first half of the 20th century.
In addition to artifacts and mining clues, he has found information about the Socorro Peak Mining District in several books published by New Mexico Tech and the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources.
The Merritt Mine first opened in 1867 as one of three producing silver mines in the Socorro Peak Mining District. None of the three mines were ever as productive as the Magdalena district mines, such as the Kelly and Waldo mines. The Waldo Mine complex included 22 miles of tunnels on 16 levels, while the Merritt was one main level with several winzes – or shafts.
"The early prospectors sought out silver deposits in several little mines," Senior Mining Engineer Bob Eveleth said. "All those mines were driven into Socorro Peak looking for silver deposits that never really materialized."
When the federal government deregulated the silver standard in 1893, the price of silver plummeted. By 1895, the silver mines west of Socorro were shuttered.
Sometime in the early portion of the 20th century – Kozushko thinks 1909 – the New Mexico School of Mines began using the mine as a de facto classroom and field study site.
Kozushko learned from alums that by the 1930s, the mine was used for the senior survey course. Students learned the entire mining cycle – drill, blast, muck, tram, crush, separate and refine. An old clapboard building near the mine adit has collapsed. Surrounding the building's carcass is a graveyard of old mining equipment.
Eveleth, who works at the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, said the Merritt Mine was used for a senior project to survey and map the mine.
"Another interesting project involved mine engineering and metallurgy students," Eveleth said. "The mine engineering students would find the silver ore, then the metallurgy students would grind it, concentrate it and recover the silver bullion."
Kozushko believes the mine was abandoned as a field work location around 1965 when TERA, the precursor to EMRTC, began using the area for explosives testing. Sometime in the 1970s, EMRTC began using a room 500 feet into the mine as a photography darkroom.
An Elliott S. Bailey periodically chronicled his service work in the mine from 1968 to 1992. Near his pencil writing is a statement in marker that says "Dec. 20, 1994, Merritt Mine Station shut down at 12:00." Presumably, the darkroom was shuttered at that time.
Until about 2002, New Mexico Tech used the Waldo Mine near Magdalena for mining field work. The mine owner, Asarco Inc., fell upon hard times and filed bankruptcy. A federal judge ordered the mine locked and shuttered until ownership can be resolved. The bankruptcy proceedings continue to this day.
"When we lost the Waldo Mine as a field location, I told Navid Mojtabai that we need to find a new mine," Kozushko said. "I remembered this one from my old days of working at EMRTC. When I got in to see it, I realized that it's in pristine shape for being almost 150 years old."
Mojtabai, the chairman of the mineral engineering department, said he needs a workable site for the underground surveying lab, and maybe occasional tours. New Mexico Tech could use the Merritt Mine to replace the Waldo Mine for lab work; however, the Merritt would need to be completely safe and secured before it could be used for official class work.
Kozushko and his student workers spent weeks clearing brush and vegetation from around the mine entrance. After several punctured tires, he enlisted EMRTC help to blade the old mine road, so he could haul out dozens of pick-up loads of weeds and modern-day trash – making sure to leave behind all the historic mining detritus.
The support timbers in the first 250 feet of the mine were hand hewn. For the remaining 1,000 feet, the timbers are mill-hewn. Kozushko sees historical clues in various arcane and esoteric details of the Merritt Mine.
He's found N.M. School of Mines letterhead from the 1930s, sardine cans, chisels from the 1880s and many other artifacts.
"I call my self a mining archaeologist," Kozushko said. "That big pile of rusty stuff includes machines that are 100 years old. I'll go through all that and figure out if it's modern or old or ancient. That's a piece of mining history out there."

HARRISONBURG, Va. (AP) Justin Thorpe's 9-yard touchdown run with 1:24 to play vaulted James Madison to a 13-10 win over Towson in Colonial Athletic Association action Saturday.
Thorpe's game-winner capped a riveting fourth quarter, which began when Towson (2-3, 1-1) quarterback Grant Enders orchestrated a 14-play, 92-yard scoring drive. Enders was 6-of-6 passing for 61 yards on the drive, and ran in a go-ahead, 7-yard touchdown with 3:21 left.
The Dukes (4-1, 2-0) began the ensuing drive at their own 21, and drove 79 yards in eight plays before Thorpe ran in what proved the game-winner. Thorpe was 6-of-6 passing for 60 yards on the drive, and finished the game 11 of 19 for 116 yards.
Thorpe, in his fifth year in the program, was granted a sixth season of eligibility by the NCAA earlier this week after missing 2008 and 2010 with injuries.
Towson's Terrance West ran 28 times for 112 yards.

Author hammers congressman over probe
Jayna Davis claims Rohrabacher request for hearings just 'a sham'
The woman whose investigative work into the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing includes compelling evidence of a Middle Eastern terror connection to the crime is decrying as a "sham" a Republican congressman's proposal to hold hearings on the attack.
Jayna Davis, author of "The Third Terrorist: The Middle East Connection to the Oklahoma City Bombing," says the witness list Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., has proposed for a day and a half-long hearing includes only two people who have any information about an alleged Middle Eastern accomplice to killer Timothy McVeigh. In her book, Davis asserts McVeigh and Terry Nichols were not the lone conspirators but were part of a greater scheme involving Islamic terrorists and at least one provable link to Iraq.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher
Davis says Rohrabacher, whom she worked with last year on gathering information for hearings, is focusing on the possible connection of Andreas Carl Strassmeier, a German national who was part of a white supremacist compound in Oklahoma called Elohim City – a connection the author says has been thoroughly discredited in the courts.
As WorldNetDaily reported, In a memo written to Rep. Henry Hyde, chairman of the House International Relations Committee, Rohrabacher says an investigation should focus on the fact that "Timothy McVeigh appear[ed] to have had contact with Arab, Muslim or Middle Eastern terrorist elements prior to and during the implementation of the bomb plot," and, "just as significant, there is evidence of a personal relationship between Timothy McVeigh and Andreas Carl Strassmeier."
Davis, who says she has not spoken to the congressman since July, told WND she was blindsided by the memo requesting hearings.
"I view Dana Rohrabacher's proposed hearings as nothing more than a sham," she said.
"Rohrabacher remains focused primarily upon the neo-Nazi connection," Davis claimed, despite a lack of evidence for the theory.
So, why would Rohrabacher, a former Reagan speechwriter, hold hearings and not comprehensively delve into a possible Middle East connection?
Saying she believes the congressman wants to "change the discourse," Davis claims Rohrabacher hopes to point a finger at Elohim City to divert attention from her Middle East-terrorist contention.
Davis also says Rohrabacher told her last year he had "a lot of Arab friends" and that they would be angry with him for looking into an Arab connection. The author points to an OC Weekly article that reports Rohrabacher's "long, close association with three Muslim Americans investigated by federal authorities for alleged support of anti-U.S. terrorist activities."
In 2004, author and columnist Kenneth Timmerman wrote in FrontPage of what he called Rohrabacher's ties to "radical Islamic groups."
Davis also notes Rohrabacher was co-chairman of a task force that was in receipt of a classified warnings about possible domestic terrorism prior to the OKC attack.
Jayna Davis
"I am forced to consider the possibility that Rohrabacher is attempting to shift the blame to the government for bungling warnings allegedly issued by informant Andreas Strassmeir and his neo-Nazi cohorts, thereby deflecting attention from legitimate prior warnings of a pending Middle Eastern attack on U.S. soil," Davis told WND. "Keep in mind that Rohrabacher formerly served as the co-chairman and a member of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare. I propose that he declassify the Spring 1995 alerts that predicted, weeks before the zero hour of 9:02 a.m. on April 19, that Iran-sponsored Islamist terrorists had recruited 'two lily whites' (i.e., McVeigh and Nichols) to carry out the bombing of an American federal building."
In May, attorney David Schippers, a former federal prosecutor who served as chief counsel for the 1998 impeachment trial of Bill Clinton, conducted videotaped interviews with 14 confidential witnesses Davis used in writing her book. Though Schippers has expressed confidence in the veracity of those witnesses' testimony, Davis says she believes Rohrabacher has little interest in the testimony since he has not paid to have her flown to Washington to present the videotapes.
"I'll present the interviews when they send me a plane ticket," Davis explained, "because it would show me how much stock they are putting in going forward in that direction."
She says if that had been done, members of Congress could have looked at the taped interviewers and decided whether or not the testimony was credible enough to move forward with an investigation.
Davis says that while Rohrabacher in his memo mentions a possible Middle Eastern connection to the bombing, the fact he is calling as witnesses just two of the 22 people whose testimony upholds the theory proves the congressman is not serious about getting to the truth.
"He's not even calling me as a witness to put this into perspective," Davis said.
"Frank Keating, Janet Reno and Louis Freeh are among the star participants who promise to deliver the canned government response."
Continued Davis: "The motel owner and the brown-truck witness are expected to offer limited testimony of their encounters with McVeigh's Middle Eastern accomplices with no one to present the enormous body of evidence that corroborates their stories."
Davis questions why neither Schippers nor retired FBI Special Agent Dan Vogel, who collected the 22 witness affidavits from her, were asked to testify.
The author also slams Rohrabacher for failing to get specific questions answered by the FBI before going forward with hearings – "to corroborate what's in my book" – questions she says the congressman asked her to draft and send to him.
As WorldNetDaily reported, in June Rohrabacher visited Nichols in prison and discussed with him the Arab-terrorist connection.
"Timothy McVeigh on a number of occasions, had talked about Middle Easterners," Rohrabacher told Davis after the visit. "Terry didn't say anything that would dispel the theory, the central theory of your research, which is these people [witnesses featured in 'The Third Terrorist'] actually saw Tim McVeigh and he was with Arabs, and these are the people that you tracked down."
Even so, Davis now has no confidence in Rohrabacher: "I don't think he was ever serious about really delving into the evidence presented in 'The Third Terrorist.'"
Posited Davis: "I don't think the hearings will happen. There's just no evidence" of neo-Nazi involvement.
Saying Rohrabacher's memo to Hyde was not to be made public, a spokesman for the congressman told WND he is overseas and "isn't going to have anything to say about [Davis' charges] right now."

To Charles Spence: I'm sure your Capital Comments column (Fair is fair? FAA, airlines continue blitz for user fees, Nov. 17 issue) went to press before the story by AOPA came out in its internet newsletter on Nov. 24. You know the one where it was pointed out that the FAA had almost $5 billion in assets and property that they seem unable to account for under their antiquated bookkeeping system that seems almost nonexistent. Should general aviation give them another billion or so in user fees so they can prop up their inefficiency a little further? I think not. The airlines feel it all should be turned over to them since they have done such an outstanding job of handling their own finances. Are there any of them that are not cutting salaries and jobs, and declaring Chapter 11 in order to keep their heads above water? "We are from the FAA, and we're here to help you" is the industry joke, but if it costs me and thousands like me an arm and a leg to use their facilities, I'm not laughing.
Fortunately there is a goodly number in the House and Senate that feel as I do, and maybe they can educate the others, as well as our president.
I'm so conservative, I make Rush and Sean look like flaming liberals, but I do know government waste when I see it. Most of what our president does I agree with wholeheartedly, but a few of his ideas are a little off-the-wall, and I don't hesitate to point them out.

Islam /
Arabic: muhammad
Muhammad has no religious importance in Christianity and Judaism, and is considered not to be a prophet by adherents of these two religions, while Muhammad is considered a prophet or central divine figure in later religions, mainly those partly or fully derived from Islam: Baha'i and Alevism.
There exists an idea among most Muslim communities of a prohibition against representing Muhammad, see Muslim iconoclasm.
A majority of modern Muslims consider Muhammad as an infallible human being, as the absolute ideal of anyone. Any form of criticism of Muhammad is by most Muslims considered as criticism of Islam and God. The old term "Mohammedanism" has been abandoned from the claim that Muhammad is not revered in Islam; modern Islam, however, reveres Muhammad to an extent that the old term is not incorrect.
The sources
Muhammad as a normal man (570-610)
The first revelation (610)
Koran sura 96: Congealed Blood
After this first revelation, no new came for a period. Then after a waiting period they came back, and continued for the rest of Muhammad's life.
Coversions and resistance (610-619)
Koran sura 53: The Star
There are 2 interpretations of this, and while many Muslim scholars doubt the sources they do not totally reject that there is something to the story. Many scholars, often Western ones, believe that the first version was an attempt, a successful one, to entice the Meccans to join Islam by opening up for polytheism. Others believe that the first version of the verses were given to Muhammad by Satan, and it is from this the name "Satanic verses" come. This last interpretation is common among Muslims.
The Hijra (622)
Madina and the rise to power (622-630)
Ruler of Hijaz and the Muslims (630-632)

That's because storage doesn't fit neatly into the electrical utility's regulatory universe of generation, distribution, and load — or into the utility rate recovery structure. But that regulatory uncertainty is starting to clear.

Hedge fund billionaire Dan Loeb has some simple advice for investors this year: select good stocks, be patient and do some skillful trading.
The hedge fund founder tells investors not to be fooled by the harsh winter or market shifts in the first few months of the year. Despite the challenges in the first-quarter, it appears that the U.S. economy is about to accelerate, he says.
"As a result, perhaps 2014 will be the year where one should not 'Sell in May and go away,'" says Loeb in this quarterly letter to investors.
While the Third Point founder was positive, he maintains caution for the fall, when negative real interest rates will have lasted for a "longer consecutive time than at any other time – even after the Great Depression."
Loeb adds that "we will have to buckle our seatbelts for an inevitably more volatile environment" as the Federal Reserve ends its so-called tapering policy.
The billionaire laments that looking back at the beginning of the year, perhaps the firm was too optimistic and that certain sectors that were showing "bubblelicious" valuations. The first part of the year was about working in a "lose/lose" backdrop, Loeb tells investors.
A pullback in some long consensus positions this year, which include Japan, underperformed, while value and emerging markets did better, giving way to opportunities to add to the Third Point portfolio at "attractive levels."
The letter goes onto to explain about the fund's position in The Dow Chemical Company, IHI Corporation and SoftBank Corp.
Year-to-date returns for Third Point Offshore fund Ltd. were 3.3%, compared to the S&P 500, which was up 1.8%. The investor letter boasts the fund is up 17.9% since inception, versus the S&P 500, up only 7.3%.

Myles Vincent never took his game to the level he wanted to while playing baseball in Alberta, but he has no regrets about getting a glimpse of what it takes to be a professional.
Vincent, a talented southpaw pitcher who honed his skills in Corner Brook, will give up on his pursuit of pro baseball when he wraps up his season with the Lethbridge Bulls of the 11-team Western Major Baseball League.
He joined the Bulls two years ago when he was a pro prospect learning to take his game to the next level at the Prairie Baseball Academy under head coach Todd Hubka.
The 19-year-old's time in Alberta grew frustrating when he began struggling with his command. He couldn't find the strike zone and eventually found himself seeing limited duty with most of his appearances coming in a relief role.
Like any other young baseball prospect with aspirations of making it to the pros, Vincent can't help but be disappointed thinking about what could have been.
However, he's looking at the bright side of things because he felt he did what he could with what he had.
"I'm glad it happened. I had a lot of fun the past two years," Vincent said. "Even though it didn't go as far as I wanted it to, I still travelled around the (United) States and I got to play for Team Canada, so it was definitely worth it."
Vincent has a flight booked for Aug. 14 to return home. It will give him enough time to get focused and prepared to join the Corner Brook Barons — the defending provincial senior A baseball champions — at the 2014 national baseball championship in St. John's starting Aug. 21.
The Barons will defend their provincial senior A crown this weekend in St. John's, with the series shifting back to Jubilee Field after the weekend.
Unfortunately, Vincent won't be home to play in the provincial final because the Bulls are poised for a long playoff run. Despite his struggles on the mound, it looks like Vincent could very well be a member of a championship team before he wraps up his journey out west. He will be limited to bullpen duty, but he's ready to do his part if he gets a call.
"We're in first place now in the whole league and we're playing really well," he said. "But, if we do somehow lose in the first round, then I will think about changing my flight and coming home, but honestly I don't see that happening.
"I don't play as much as I would have if I was pitching like I could," he added, noting he may have had 12 innings of work with the Bulls all summer.
Vincent will turn 20 next month so he has plans to look at life after the academy. He wants to work for a year before getting immersed in a trade.
As for his first senior baseball nationals, he's hoping to find the zone if the coach calls upon him.

The mythical Michelin restaurant guide for 2009 has come out and some of Portugal´s finest restaurants are thanking their lucky (Michelin) stars. Here is a quick summary:
Casa Calçada (Amarante)– this restaurant is located inside a fabulous little boutique hotel in the pretty riverside hamlet of Amarante, about 60km (50 minutes drive) east of Oporto . Worth spending dinner and at least one night here, the Casa Calçada is also in easy reach of the Douro Valley wine country. More info.
Arcadas da Capela, Quinta das Lágrimas (Coimbra)- elegant small restaurant at the refined Quinta das Lágrimas resort, this is a major destination for foodies. Again, the best way to enjoy it is to have dinner with wine pairings and then stay the night at their beautiful hotel near Coimbra. More info.
Fortaleza do Guincho (Cascais)– This Relais & Chateaux restaurant juts out of a stunning cliffside on the rugged Atlantic coast and is a fabulous lunch venue.
Eleven (Lisbon)- Lisbon´s only Michelin starred eatery, Eleven attracts celebrities, politicians and globetrotting gourmets. Superstar chef Joachim Koerper is the consulting chef here (as in Arcadas da Capela), and the atmosphere is contemporary and stylish with a jetset vibe. Info here.
Vila Joya (Albufeira) – This magnificent restaurant holds two Michelin stars and is located in the sublime Vila Joya resort in a hidden away residential area a few miles from bustling Albufeira. Star Chef Dieter Koschina is probably the most famous chef in Portugal (although Austrian by birth) and his tasting menus are "a must".
São Gabriel (Almancil)- German Chef Jens Rittmeyer tantalizes palates in this glamorous corner of the Algarve, and the decor here is cozy and warmer than in some of the other Michelin establisments. More info on the restaurant here.
Henrique Leis (Almancil)– another quaint and very cozy little restaurant in the gourmet epicenter of Almancil, Henrique Leis is run by the same-named Brazilian chef (Algarve is about as international as you can get!). Rustic and traditional Portuguese decor, stellar food and fabulous wine list. More info on restaurant here.
Amadeus (Almancil)– Again, this excellent restaurant is located in easy reach of the other "golden mile" Michelins of this stretch of the Algarve. In keeping with the multicultural Algarve vibe, chef Siegfried Danler-Heinemann is from Austria. The nice thing here is they offer many different fixed price menus.
Willie's (Quarteira) – Located near the famous Pinhal Golf Course, Willie´s has it all- great food, charismatic chef, and candlelit romantic ambience. More info on Willie´s.
Il Gallo d`Oro (Funchal)– In the luxurious Cliff Bay hotel in Madeira, this classy restaurant offers elegant and formal (gentlemen are required to wear dinner jackets) dining, superb sea views and a real old world ambience. Gallic chef Benoît Sinthon is at the helm, and he has achieved no small feat- getting Madeira island its first Michelin star. More info here.

This forum has been a great resource for building my firs plywood board. Now I poked around and try to learn what more sophisticated board building technology I should use for my next project.
Way back, I have build a windsurf board with glass and polyester. I have repaired windsurf boards with glass and epoxy. Never done vacuum bagging.
I looked at many topics and most (if not all) seem to use ABS or some other form of edges. Why? What makes this needed for a kite board but not for surf or windsurf boards? Why not just overlap the sides with multiple layers of glass?

Client Testimonials
"Like what I saw at NASA and the Oracle Corporation, GRT is blazing a path for the use of new technologies in real-world circumstances. In effect, the GRT patented solution is changing the way people operate in difficult field conditions around the world. By combining their technical expertise in GIS mapping, satellite imagery and satellite communications, GRT is giving decision makers superior capabilities to act with speed and effectiveness. GRT is the real deal."
"RDMS is the total end-to-end solution that even includes logistics. Their technology is operationally proven, fast, user-friendly, and extremely durable...'Marine Corps Proof.' GRT has significantly reduced our processing and administrative work. Currently in use, with outstanding results, in Marine Expeditionary Units (Special Operations Capable) for Humanitarian Assistance, Non-Combatant Evacuation, Mass Casualty situations, Convey and Beach/Port logistic throughput operations."
"With RDMS, the Maine Forest Rangers are able to electronically collect 36 distinct inspections, resulting in an enhanced Ranger productivity by over 50%. RDMS has truly revolutionized the way we do business."
"RDMS is a revolutionary technology that saves lives and has more than proven itself in the harshest conditions of Marine Corps field operations in East Asia, the western Pacific, and Haiti. The only thing better than RDMS's performance, is its potential to grow into other uses, functions, and domains. The civil applications alone are enormous and limited only by our imaginations. It is an order of magnitude increase in capability from our traditional methods of gathering, managing, analyzing, and viewing the world that surrounds us."
"GRT's solution addresses a huge challenge for the humanitarian community: how to easily transmit critical data from the field so that organizations can immediately analyze and respond to fast-breaking crises."

Changes to Kindergarten Communication of Learning
At HWDSB, we know that parent engagement fosters student success. We want to be as clear as possible about changes to how schools report on learning in Kindergarten.
In the past at HWDSB, family members could attend "observation visits" in Kindergarten. For the 2017-18 school year, we will be using the new, written Kindergarten report provided by the Ministry of Education.
Issued on Oct. 30, 2017, the written document Kindergarten Communication of Learning: Initial Observations will be the first formal report of the year on your child's learning in Kindergarten. You can see the document attached and online.
While this replaces observation visits, it aims to open home-school communication throughout the school year. The report includes clear, detailed, and straightforward information about your child's learning, growth in learning, and next steps in learning in relation to expectations in Kindergarten.
At HWDSB, each team of Kindergarten educators will schedule interviews with parents for all students in years one and two of the two-year Kindergarten program. We also encourage parents to attend open house events and take advantage of the many other ways to become engaged in the school community.
Learning works best when families support it at home. Children are more likely to be motivated, to improve in their learning, and to develop positive behaviour and social skills when their parents are actively involved in their learning.
Thank you for choosing HWDSB for these Kindergarten years, which lay the foundation for your child's future achievements and success.

N M Tech President Testifies before Congressional Committee, June 14, 2006
by George Zamora
WASHINGTON, D.C., June 14, 2006 – New Mexico Tech President Daniel H. López testified in Washington this morning (Wednesday, June 14) before the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee on Resources at a Congressional hearing being held to consider H.R. 4761, the Domestic Energy Production through Offshore Exploration and Equitable Treatment of State Holdings Act of 2006.
During his testimony, the New Mexico Tech President specifically urged federal lawmakers to support Sections 12 and 23 of H.R. 4761, which would create a Federal Energy and Mineral Resources Professional Development Fund.
If enacted, the legislation will enable the U.S. Department of Interior to use revenues obtained from H.R. 4761 off-shore leasing activities to establish the new professional development fund to maintain and support petroleum and mining engineering education and research programs at recognized petroleum or mining schools throughout the nation, such as New Mexico Tech.
Initial projections of possible revenues that could be generated through off-shore leases estimate that as much as $40 million per year might eventually be available for the professional development fund.
In addition, an annual outlay of funds under H.R. 4761 may also be granted to institutions that provide vocational education and training for students that lead to technical positions in oil and gas, coal mining, or mineral industries.
"New energy exploration and production also require engineering and workforce expansion," Tech President López said during his testimony. "Unless we opt to become dependent not only on foreign oil, but also on foreign oil engineers and workers in the field, passage of H.R. 4761 will need to become a reality as our next milestone in national energy policy."

i) can we configure LDAP as squid proxy authentication server without active directory
ISPConfig uses mysql to store authentication details for users and not ldap. So if you want to use squid on a ispconfig server, it might be better to authenticate against mysql.

So after reading a ton of posts, I think I'm nailing my rocker table design.
Since I have CAD software available (purchased and licensed), I'll start by prototyping in CAD and then build it.
I'll do the same for the board, including some CFD studies, before building it.
For the rocker table, I'm going for a width adjustable table, depending on the board I'm aiming at, with 600m top width board. But I'm still deciding on this one, since it only depends on the metal strips on the sides of the table.
Which brings me to the question of stability.
Does any one think that my table can be a bit unstable due to the metal strips that define the table width?!
The 3 vertical wood slabs will be trimmed to give the concave and rocker of the board. They're not trimmed on the image because I haven't completed the board yet.
The second question is regarding the table per se. What should I use as the table slab? Wood sheet? Metal sheet (how thick?)?
If I use a metal sheet (stainless steel), can it be used often for different concave/rocker shapes?
I'll be waiting for your inputs!!

Right now, a workhorse of a machine is sitting in my husband's woodshop. If it works properly it's going to make our lives a lot easier over the next couple weeks.
I found it last Saturday through sheer luck and good timing. At the time I was out running errands and whining loudly, as I tend to do, about how we needed an electric apple grinder to go with our cider press. (A grinder, or "scratter," reduces apples to a pulp to allow for maximum juice extraction.)

December 2013 Plant Profile: Gaultheria procumbens
This low growing, creeping shrub often gets overlooked throughout most of the year, but its vibrant fruit and evergreen foliage make it a stunning addition to the winter garden, particularly in containers. The Wintergreen grows via shallow underground rhizomes and like most plants in the Ericaceae, it prefers acidic soils and because of its diminutive size, grows best in mostly sunny and exposed sites.
American Wintergreen is best utilized in container plantings here in the Pacific Northwest as large patches of it in the garden are rarely encountered. It can be a tricky plant to get established in the garden and requires regular watering initially, but looks to be drought tolerant once it gets going.
As a container plant, the lovely (and edible) fruit are closely admired and last for many weeks. The fruit itself is actually a dry capsule and it's the fleshy red calyx that surrounds it that looks like the fruit. When crushed, it has a minty aroma.
Common Name: Teaberry, American Wintergreen
Location: Containers by the commons and Merrill Hall
Origin: Eastern North American
Height and Spread: 3-8″ high x 10-12″ wide
Bloom/Fruit Time: September-March


text: Three French postcards from the time of the Dreyfus affair. Scarce. One has been sent and is addressed with stamp and message on front. The Dreyfus affair was a political scandal which divided France during the 1890s and early 1900s. It involved the wrongful conviction for treason of a promising young French artillery officer of Jewish faith and ethnicity, Captain Alfred Dreyfus, and the political and judicial scandal that followed until his full rehabilitation. He ended his career as a Lieutenant-Colonel and actively served during the First World War, at the end of which he was raised to the rank of Officer of the Legion of Honor.

We created workarounds for this for our customers. Rocks 4.0 is better than 3.3 with regards to some of these issues.

Sioux Falls Skyforce Recover With 2OT Win Over Canton Charge [VIDEO]
Imagine a sweltering summer day where the sticky air portends a coming storm. Once the wind shifts, the clouds close out the sunlight and the search commences for the nearest shelter. The basketball winds shift just as quickly and there is no safe haven. Ride on until the clock reads zero. Then do it two extra times. Metaphors aside, if it were easy everyone would do it. Nonetheless, the Sioux Falls Skyforce squandered a 21-point 4th quarter lead to eventually escape with a 117-111 double overtime win over the Canton Charge.
With 9:03 left, the score was 93-72 in favor of Sioux Falls (23-21). A flash of lightning later, Canton (27-18) had 7.2 seconds left in a tie game with the ball to get a winning score. March Madness indeed. The two teams had enough left in the tank to play two extra sessions and the game wasn't decided until Kyle Gibson was called for travelling with 17.3 seconds left in the second extra session. The victory was especially sweet for Sioux Falls who recaptured a tenuous hold on a playoff spot. Skyforce guard Seth Tarver drew the defensive assignment on Gibson and had to meticulously prepare for the task.
Gibson's miscue notwithstanding, he had a fantastic night with 24 points to lead the visitors with Arinze Onuaku posting another double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds. Demetris Nichols of the Skyforce was just a tick better with 32 points and 9 rebounds, Mychel Thompson came off the bench to post 21 ponts and Andre Barrett nearly posted a triple double of 16 points 9 rebounds and 9 assists.
The schedule sends both teams out for Wednesday night road contests. Canton will square off with the Springfield Armor, while Sioux Falls battle the Austin Toros.

HIV Viral Load Testing
As a person with HIV, having your viral load tested will likely be an important part of your plan to stay healthy.
You will have the test done regularly, and it will be one of several factors you and your doctor will look at when deciding how to manage your infection.
This brochure introduces you to the viral load test and answers basic questions about how it fits into your treatment plan.
What is the viral load test?
A viral load test measures the amount of HIV in your blood. It does this by measuring the number of copies of a specific part of the virus called RNA or ribonucleic acid.
Why do I need a viral load test if I have already had an HIV test?
An HIV antibody test indicates whether you are infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. A viral load test shows how much of the HIV virus is in your blood. While you will have an HIV antibody test only at diagnosis, you will have viral load tests on a regular basis.
How is the viral load test different from a CD4+ cell count?
A CD4+ cell count helps measure the strength of your immune system. A viral load test indicates how active HIV is in your body. Together these two tests are used to monitor how your body is responding to HIV infection and to HIV treatment.
How are viral load test results reported?
You will get an answer in copies/millilitre (ml). The lower the number, the less virus there is in your blood. Numbers can range from over 1,000,000 copies/ml to undetectable.
What does undetectable mean?
Undetectable means that there are fewer copies of the virus in your blood than the test can measure. It does not mean that you have been cured of HIV. The virus is still in your body.
If my viral load is undetectable, can I still pass HIV to others?
Yes. While HIV may not be detectable in the blood, there might still be enough to infect someone. Also, there may be higher levels of HIV in semen or vaginal secretions. So, even if you have an undetectable viral load, you might still infect someone if you share needles or have unprotected sex.
Why should I care about my viral load?
Your viral load gives you an idea of how active HIV is in your body. Because the amount of HIV in your blood changes, you will have viral load tests on a regular basis. The test results are helpful for making decisions about HIV treatment, such as when to start treatment and when to change the drugs you are taking.
What does it mean if my viral load changes from one test to the next?
Your viral load might change from one test to the next, sometimes a lot. These are natural fluctuations. Your doctor will likely tell you to expect them and to try not to worry too much when they happen.
More important are consistent trends, either increases or decreases, in your viral load over several tests.
If I do have a viral load test, will I have to start HIV treatment?
Having a viral load test doesn't mean that you have to rush into taking drugs or other treatments. A viral load test gives you more information for treatment decisions now and in the future. In fact, viral load tests are most useful when you have several taken over a period of time.
If you're considering treatment, you should know that anti-HIV drugs have side effects, which are different for everyone. And, you have to be prepared for changes in your life. CATIE's Practical Guide to HAART can give you more information.
How will I use viral loads to help direct my treatment?
If you're on treatment, viral load is one way you and your doctor will monitor the treatment's effect on the virus. You will have viral load tests done regularly to check whether your treatment is working. In general, anti-HIV drugs slow down the virus and lower viral load.
An undetectable viral load is the goal of treatment, especially when you start your first anti-HIV drug combination. In later combinations, an undetectable viral load is still the goal, although it may not be as easy to achieve.
What does it mean if my viral load rises?
Many different factors can affect your viral load, such as the progress of HIV infection, your overall health, whether the treatment is working, and even how the test was performed that day. You and your doctor will try to find the cause of the rise in viral load by looking at your past viral load tests and by searching for other clues.
If you see a rise in your viral load, your doctor may ask you to have another test right away.
The second test helps to check whether the rise in viral load is temporary or a consistent trend. Temporary changes in viral load can have many causes. For example:
- Sometimes, your viral load may become detectable on a single test and then go back to undetectable on the next test. This is called a "blip" and it is normal.
- Your viral load may rise temporarily if you have a cold or other brief illness.
- Temporary increases may occur after vaccinations, such as a flu shot. Get a vaccination if you need one, but you might want to wait a month after a vaccination (or an illness) before you have another viral load test.
- The way a viral load test is done varies from laboratory to laboratory, and this may change test results. Be aware of this when comparing tests done by two different laboratories, especially if they are in different provinces or countries.
If the rise in viral load cannot be explained any other way, it might be a sign that you need to look at your treatment plan.
What does a consistent rise in viral load mean about my treatment plan?
A consistent rise in viral load may be a sign that your anti-HIV drug combination is failing. Together, you and your doctor will discuss the possible reasons for this and what to do next.
Your viral load may rise if you are not taking all doses of your medication as prescribed. Most people on treatment take pills only once or twice a day and find they can fit taking anti-HIV drugs into their lives. However, missing doses can still happen, especially if you are depressed, anxious, frustrated or using alcohol or drugs. If you are having difficulties taking your medications as prescribed and directed, you might want to think about getting help because sticking to your pill schedule (or "adhering" to it) is one of the most important aspects of your treatment. Missing even one dose can let drug levels in your blood drop so low that the virus can become active.
Sometimes the side effects of an anti-HIV drug make it difficult to take all the doses as prescribed. Nausea is an example. It is important to talk to your doctor about side effects, because they can be managed. Other times, even if all the doses are taken, there is something stopping the drug from working in the body. It may be that your body cannot absorb the drug, or that another drug you are taking is blocking the anti-HIV drug from working. Be sure to tell your doctor about all the prescription medications, over-the-counter products, herbal therapies, supplements and any recreational drugs you take.
Finally, a significant rise in viral load may be a sign that the virus is replicating even in the presence of HIV treatment. This means the HIV has become resistant to at least one drug in your combination. Resistance to an anti-HIV drug is a problem because it means that you can no longer use that drug to keep your viral load low. Poor adherence can lead to drug resistance. If your virus does become resistant, you and your doctor will likely discuss changing the combination of drugs in your treatment.
Is viral load different for women?
On average, women tend to have slightly lower viral loads than men with the same CD4+ cell count. However, this doesn't seem to affect women's health or how they respond to treatment.
If I do have a viral load test, will people know I'm HIV positive?
It's against the law for your doctor and the people who work with him or her to tell anyone about your test without your permission. It is also against the law for any laboratory doing this testing to release any information about your testing to anyone other than you or your doctor, without your permission.
Where can I get more information?
Your doctor and other members of your health care team are good sources of information. They should be able to answer your questions about viral load testing. You might want to use this brochure to start a discussion. For more detailed information, be sure to check out the CATIE in-depth fact sheet on Viral Load Testing. This and more are available for free at www.catie.ca.

New Year, New You and In Home Care
The New Year is here and for the next week or so, we'll probably still be writing last year as the date. As we get adjusted to the New Year, we start to find ways to make our lives better in small, manageable ways. The little changes in our daily lives can bring about big change without feeling like such a chore.
Many resolutions include learning to save more money. Saving money doesn't mean that we need to find ways to avoid all spending in our lives. It simply means finding ways to save a little bit here and there. When going out to eat, search online to see if the restaurant has any coupons available. Ask for the daily specials when placing an order. If ordering clothing and household items online, be sure to look for shopping discounts and coupon codes. Some banks have a program that allows for the change on dollars spent to be rolled over into the Savings account. The extra little step can save money and this will add up in the long run.
Another common resolution is to lose some weight in the New Year. While this goal is beneficial, it is best to strive for better health. Finding ways to eat more vegetables and fresh items instead of highly processed and fatty foods are surefire ways to get healthier and feel better. Eating more protein and fiber-full foods will keep us fuller longer and will help us fight unhealthy cravings. When less junk food is consumed, the weight will come off and we be healthier and feel better overall.
The New Year, new you can start more meditation and relaxation. Sometimes life can get hectic and with the craziness of our schedules, we forget to take a break. Taking the time to reflect and collect our thoughts is important for our wellbeing. Visiting a spa or going on a vacation isn't always possible. Taking the time to go to the movies or visiting a museum can bring a welcome break from the day-to-day grind. These activities can be enjoyed with a loved one or alone and be just as rejuvenating to the mind.
In the end, it's all about the small changes in our lives that will improve our lives the most. Big steps may seem most productive, but it's the little steps that change our lives for the better. New Year, new you may take the entire year to achieve, and in the end, that is okay too.
