Tar Creek through the eyes of artists, scientists
Tuesday, September 24, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
The theme for the 2013 Pittsburg State University Interdisciplinary Lecture Series, set for Sept. 26-28, is one familiar to anyone who has lived and worked in the Four-State area for any length of time. The series, which bridges art, science and politics, will look at the Tar Creek Superfund site as both a major environmental issue and also a place that many still call home.
Art Department Chair Rhona Shand said the department hosts a series of lectures each semester that relate to a theme provided by an art exhibit in the University Gallery. The lectures draw on the expertise of faculty and guests from a wide variety of disciplines.
"It pulls the rich resources of the university community together in a wonderful way," said Shand.
This year's series begins with two lectures on Thursday, Sept. 26, in 103 Porter Hall. PSU faculty member Darren Botello-Samson, an expert on the effect of property rights litigation on environmental regulatory agencies, will begin the discussion at 6 p.m. At 7 p.m., artist Vaughn Wascovich will talk about his work, which makes up a new exhibit, "A Strange Place to Call Home," in the University Gallery.
Wascovich's images document not only the current environmental problems found at Tar Creek, but also attempt to convey the close relationship that local residents have with the land. His photographs are intended to reflect the social, physical and emotional implications of living in a compromised environment.
Wascovich is an associate professor at Texas A&M University/Commerce. He received is MFA at Columbia College and has more than 20 years experience as a commercial photographer as well as more than a dozen years teaching photography. Wascovich is currently a visiting scholar with the Harvard School of Public Health.
On Friday, Sept. 27, the series will open at 9 a.m. in the Governors Room of the Overman Student Center with introductory remarks from Shand and a welcome from PSU President Steve Scott, who grew up in Baxter Springs, near the Tar Creek site.
From 10-11:30 a.m., PSU archivist Randy Roberts will moderate a panel discussion by Gene Bicknell, a southeast Kansas native with a long career as an entrepreneur, philanthropist, author and entertainer; Ed Keheley, a nuclear engineer who served on the Oklahoma Tar Creek Task Force-2000; Alicia Mason, assistant professor in PSU's Department of Communication; and John Sparkman, founder of the Tar Creek Basin Steering Committee and executive director of the Picher Housing Authority.
Artist Vaughn Wascovich will speak from 11:45 a.m.-12:15 p.m. From 1:10 until 4 p.m., there will be a series of short presentations by Jim Triplett, PSU biology professor and an expert in aquatic biology; Morgan McCune, PSU catalog librarian and a poet and artist; Steve Ford, a PSU biology professor and an expert in wildlife ecology and land management; Kyle McKenzie, a Webb City, Mo., artist; and Xiaolu Wu, a PSU assistant professor of biology and an expert in cell and molecular biology.
The event will conclude with open discussion from 4-4:45 p.m. and closing remarks.
For information, contact the PSU Department of Art at 620-235-4302 or visit the department web page at www.pittstate.edu/art.

From previous page
The situation is thought to be reversible after patients go gluten-free. Consider the story of Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who spent two years trying to pregnant; she'd had longstanding health problems but it wasn't until after she became a patient of Dr. Peter Green of The Celiac Disease Center in New York City that things changed. He diagnosed her celiac disease and showed her where sneaky gluten could hide.
Now, she is a mom three times over and an example for an untold number of others in a similar position.
Think of osteoporosis and you tend to think of it as a disease of the elderly, with bones that have become fragile and are easily broken. You think of that great aunt who broke her hip after a simple fall against the kitchen counter, or the granddad who fractured his elbow after a slip in the bath. But due to a triple autoimmune whammy, osteoporosis can strike much earlier if you have celiac disease.
First, the disease affects the absorption rate into the body of fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals that are vital for bone growth and the ability to heal. Second, damage to the small intestine means that more cytokines (small proteins) are released into the bloodstream, which happens to encourage bone loss.
Finally, studies indicate that the immune system's attacks may be targeting both the small intestine and the bones. What to do? If celiac disease is diagnosed during childhood, switching to a gluten-free diet may be enough to prevent further bone loss and allow for bone growth to meet skeletal needs later in life.
If the diagnosis is later, it is not clear if full bone recovery is possible. But you can probably increase your bone mass as long as you go gluten-free. Consult with your doctor about incorporating drugs and/or calcium supplements and vitamins into your diet.
Type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes, long known as juvenile diabetes, is an autoimmune disorder that occurs when the immune system destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. According to statistics from the American Diabetes Association, an estimated one in every 20 people with type 1 diabetes also has celiac disease. Compare that to the rate in the general population, which is only one in 100!
One theory, presented in a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2008, is that almost every gene associated with celiac disease is also implicated in type 1 diabetes.
Another school of thought is that some people may have undiagnosed cases of celiac disease that lead to the development of type 1 diabetes. Whatever the link, it is not easy to adapt a regime to keep one's blood sugar levels in line with a gluten-free diet.
Make sure you consult with a dietitian well-versed in celiac disease because the level of carbohydrates, proteins and fats in gluten-free foods can differ greatly from those made with wheat products. And make sure you follow up with the dietitian on a regular basis, since this is not an easy combination of conditions to manage.
Neurological/psychological disorders
Celiac disease affects the central nervous system, which means that sometimes, the symptoms are not what you would expect. You could be extremely irritable or depressed. You may exhibit schizophrenic-like behavior.
In children, the symptoms can be mistaken for autism, as in the case of a 5 year-old Alberta boy whose physical and behavioral development had been normal until he was 2, when he changed. He struck out, was picky with food, had problems communicating, was tired and suffered from itchiness and painful bloating. But his parents refused to accept the initial diagnosis of severe autism.
They brought him to an Edmonton specialist who noticed the boy ate a diet high in wheat products and ordered a nutritional assessment. It turned out the boy was deficient in vital, fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D and E, in omega-3 fatty acids and polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acids, in coenzyme Q10, necessary for the basic functioning of cells, and in folate, a lack of which of which can lead to depression, weight loss and other behavioral disorders.
Further blood tests for antibodies indicative of celiac disease proved positive. After gluten was eliminated from his diet, his behavior rapidly changed and he was integrated into a regular school class. The moral of this story? Keep an open mind.

- Michigan has been blessed with a great abundance of wildlife and natural resources and has long been known throughout the country as a destination for outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, skiing and boating. Diverse habitats, splendid scenery, healthy waters, and dense forests attract tourists year round.
Recreation - Recreational opportunities within Michigan's State Parks and State Forests include camping, hiking, fishing, picnicking, boating and sightseeing. Many outdoor enthusiasts also pursue mountain biking, wildlife watching, waterskiing, horseback riding, nature study, and sailboarding. Cold winter weather enthusiasts embrace ice skating, snowmobiling, ice fishing, downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, and lounging around a warm crackling fire.
Climate - This state normally experiences mild summers with average temperatures near 70 to 80 degrees F. Nights can be cool in the northern reaches of the state with lows dipping near 50 degrees F. August and September are the wettest months on average. Fall temperatures begin to cool in mid September, which brings a spectacular fall foliage color change. Days are crisp and nights chilly during this time of year. Winters can be brutal in Michigan with lake-effect snows bringing 200 inches of snow to some areas in the Upper Peninsula. Spring reaches the southern regions of the state in late March and a few weeks later in the north. This time of year is also very wet with snow melt and spring rains.
Location -
Seven travel regions beset the State Park and State Forest system. Southeast Michigan harbors the most state-operated recreation areas and parks (21) while the largest concentration of parks and forests lie within the most remote, wild, and beautiful region referred to as the Upper Peninsula (17). The West Coast Region, a linear section along the shores of Lake Michigan comprises 14 state parks. Mid Michigan and Saginaw Bay each have 5 parks while Northern Michigan contributes 15 units to the system. The Straits, a scenic and exciting area to visit, contributes 12 parcels.

Star Wars: Scatterstar"Execute order 66"
With those simple words, myriad Jedi and Padawans had fallen under the trigger of a blaster. They were all but purged from the galaxy. Survivors, desperate to live on hid, in exile and scattered to distant, remote planets. The Galactic Senate had crumbled, giving way to the Empire.
But balance must return to the Force, and secretly, Jedi are roaming the galaxy to find Padawans, a new generation to train in the ways of the light side of the Force. A rebellion is forming and those once undiscovered in the Wild Space and the Unexplored Sector are now making their voices heard.
ScatterStar is a Star Wars crossover forum based RPG set in the 26th century and takes place between Episode III and Episode IV. Ever wanted a Vulcan Jedi? A Klingon with a BFG 9000? A Roswell Grey Sith? A Yautja bounty-hunter who collects the lightsabers of his kills? A Wookie ensign in Star Fleet? In ScatterStar, all this and more can be possible.
Because the Universe is a very, very big place...

Income Tax Problems of Fiduciaries and Beneficiaries
Presented at a technical session of the Illinois Society of Certified Public Accountants, Chicago — December 1956
As there are many types of trusts, I should first define the particular
type of trust I propose to discuss. We will exclude from consideration: Associations taxable as a corporation, Investment trusts, Liquidating trusts and Tax-exempt trusts, such as charitable trusts or foundations, and employee-pension and profit-sharing trusts.
This definition is not intended to limit the questions which may be asked later but merely to limit the subject to be covered in the allotted
Specifically, we are considering a trust created by will or by a grantor where the trustees take title to and protect and conserve the corpus; the grantor is not a beneficiary and the beneficiaries do no more than accept the benefits of the trust.
The trust is a separate taxable entity and its entire income must be reported on a return filed by the trustee. A trust or estate is subject to the same normal tax and surtax as an individual taxpayer — that is, a single taxpayer who is not the head of a household.
Unlike an individual, however, the trust is allowed a deduction for that part of its gross income which is distributable to the beneficiaries or which is properly paid or credited to the beneficiaries. The income which is allocated to a beneficiary retains the same character in the hands of the beneficiary as it had under the trust. This principle of retention
of character of income considers the trust to be a mere funnel

Willow River hires city clerk
The Willow River City Council discussed water and sewer updates at their regular meeting Monday. Water and sewer operator John Mikrot reported the sewer ponds are finished and pumping into the primary pond has resumed. He said the ponds were inspected, passed and should get the city through the winter.
The P-4 forms will be ready to submit for release of funds from FEMA once the lift station is repaired. The bids still need to go out. The city park, pond and Willow Street repairs are finished. Zoning supervisor Tom Jensen received area flood maps from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
There was a motion made to have the water meters all read again by Becky Morse and to have Mikrot learn the process. There is a need to get all the billings for sewer and water up to date. Non-payment assessments will be discussed at a later date.
The council welcomed the new city clerk, Connie Ecklund, and approved her salary, hours and ability to write checks. Clerk Ecklund reported Quickbooks has been updated to 2013. The new city office hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 7:30 a.m.-4 p.m. and Wednesday will be 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. The city office will be closed Veterans Day, Monday, November 12, and Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 22.
City maintenance employee Todd Anderson stated the garage work is close to completion once the furnace is installed. The gas line was plowed in. He is currently working on the hall's bathroom. Anderson will be plowing this winter and guidelines were discussed.
Fire Chief Tim Prachar reported the new radios the county purchased are fantastic. The department will have the antennae for them mounted on the tower. The fire department got a new truck that will be converted into a tanker as two tankers are currently out of commission with brake issues. The fire department gun raffle will be held Saturday, November 17, at the Corral Bar.
Under new business, a canvassing meeting was set up and approved for 6 p.m. Tuesday, November 13, to approve the findings of the elections. This will be open to the public.
The council also approved liquor licenses for the Squirrel Cage and Corral Bar and electronic discharge monitoring and reporting (eDMRs) for Ecklund and Morse. A Boy Scout working on his Eagle Scout was approved to work in the old cemetery on repairs in the spring. The scout would also like to build an informational kiosk in the old cemetery.
It was noted Prachar will be receiving a public safety award from the state of Minnesota on Thursday, November 9, at the Earl Brown Heritage Center in the Twin Cities for his help with the June flood.

Latest from Kim and Clive
We (Clive and Kim) have now been in Uganda for three weeks and are gradually acclimatising ourselves to a total lifestyle change, with all its challenges and adventures. We have been warmly welcomed by wonderful people at Sabina School and the surrounding community and can't wait for all the children to return after the school holidays.
Mike has been showing us around the permaculture project at the school and it's exciting to see all the work that has been done so far. With the hot weather and no children around to do the watering, the garden has suffered. Several fruit trees haven't made it and the Mandala Garden has experienced a lot of die-back and the organic material has composting down exposing the roots of many plants and toppling them over. The front entrance looks great although we're waiting expectantly for the grass to grow to help keep the dust down.
We're making compost again as we slowly sift through the muddle of organic material and plastics that has accumulated at the back of the Mandala Garden. And following the rains on Monday we sowed seed directly into the Mandala Garden, protected from the sun by banana leaves laid loosely on top (a bit of any experiment, so let's hope it works). Nyero and Charles are constructing a shaded nursery area for propagation of seedlings to restock the Mandala Garden. After looking around at other nursery set-ups, we have commissioned Ben and Charles to make small clay pots at Kiwanga in which to grow seedlings (most seedlings here are grown in small plastic bags which results in further litter in the environment).
With Charles and Nyero getting some experience at building shade structures, we have also asked them to extend the existing shade frame in Freedom Park to provide more shade for the kids when they return.
Mike is busy tending to the 100+ fruit trees that have been planted – watering, mulching, clearing around then, replanting any that have been lost to the dry. He is involved in establishing the grey water system outside the boys dormitory which needs some remedial concrete work. His advice and local knowledge is invaluable to us as we find our feet.
In a week or so we hope to be able to place the order for about 100,000 litres of plastic water tanks, which will most likely sit at the main school building and also at the library, primarily to feed the proposed main vegetable garden.
Plenty on the go .. and lots to do in the future. But in case you're getting the idea that we're go, go, go, that's really not the case. We're keen to take our time – to observe the natural rhythms around us and to get to know the special people here who make up this community. Everyday we are touched by the generosity of people who are keen to pitch in when something needs to be done, and the laughter that's never far away. A few nights ago we had a spontaneous Dance Party using Kim's radio. It's true, muzungus can't dance (certainly not as well as Ugandans) but in a typically generous gesture Clive was declared the 'winner', despite Mike admitting that he had to turn away when Clive got going! Lots of laughs.

Howdy Clive + Kim!
Ethan Roland here of Permaculture Across Borders; Thank you so much for your energy and effort at Sabina!
I'm in Thailand right now teaching a Permaculture Design Course (www.panyaproject.blogspot.com), and the folks here have found a new material for nursery pots: Coconuts! After flattening the bottom and opening the top to drink & eat, the coconuts are filled with soil and planted with seeds. Multiple functions in action!

Good luck in Rakai! I've been a short-time visitor twice and envy you the longer time there. Hope to get back this summer, depending on family obligations here.

American Patriots Against Government Excessamericanspage.com
All of us are aware of the cost of purchasing books for our use. Once we have read it, we wonder what to do with it, but we sure don't want to throw it away and many do not have the space to store a lot of books once they have been read. We have a large selection of books, DVD's and CD's that have been generously loaned to our group by our members. Anyone that is a member may "borrow" any of these at any time to expand your self-education. We have many current books written by Michelle Malkin, Dick Morris, Ann Coulter, Mark Levin, Michael Savage and of course Glenn Beck. Stop in to our office at any time to check out our lending library.

Attention all American Patriots!
American Patriots Against Government Excess first meeting of the New Year is March 23rd. Please plan to attend, as it will be a very important meeting concerning the direction our group for 2013.
American PAGE's original intent was education. Book studies, trips, documentaries, rallies and speakers have enriched all those who have taken advantage of them. However, our group is still small in number. We want to grow. We want to be more of an impact in our communities!
Some suggestions have been to move our Sunday evening meetings to another day and time, more involvement in social media and an up to date website has been mentioned. Our group needs volunteers to lend their expertise in both these areas-social media and website. Continuing study groups on the effects of Obamacare, immigration, 2nd amendment rights and Agenda 21 and our school boards have been an interest to many. All of these are very worthy issues but to keep our group focused and more importantly, to grow in membership, we want to do what YOU believe will make this happen.
So please plan to attend this very important meeting of direction for American PAGE.
WHEN: Saturday, March 23rd, 2013
WHERE: Great Lake Inter-Drain building
2951 East State Street, Fremont.
RSVP: By March 16th
A potluck will be prior to the meeting. Ham Sandwiches and beverages will be provided. Please bring a covered dish of your choice.
If you cannot attend, please feel free to email any suggestions, comments or concerns to the TEA party's email. (firstname.lastname@example.com) or call 419-332-3259. They will be discussed during the meeting.
Thank you for your participation.

During the last seismic Apple announcement, in 2010, I was at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco as Steve Jobs unveiled theiPad, a device he said was so singular it would create its own landing strip.
When the expected reveal came, there was a huge roar, and I looked around to see many of my fellow journalists clapping their hands red. I was an interloper in the land of tech announcements, but I was surprised that a group of cynical-by-nature reporters had been so completely won over in the moment.
I didn't attend last week's Applemageddon of multiple product announcements — new phones, a watch and a mobile payment system — but I saw more of the same when I checked the coverage. And while I may not have been clapping, I found myself rooting for Apple to unveil something extraordinary.
A lot of the subsequent coverage has been ecstatic, much of it tinged with palpable relief that a Jobs-less Apple can still set the bar in new and unexpected ways.

Way back in 2007, Rupert Murdoch and other News Corp executives used to go around telling reporters that sure, Facebook may be a big hit with users, but MySpace was an actual business success.
That's because, every Friday, MySpace would sell huge roadblock ads for the movies opening that weekend.
The ads worked and marketers loved it.
But Facebook executives, from Mark Zuckerberg on down, said that their site would never show those kinds of intrusive, in-your-face ads because users hated them.
They were right. Eventually, users got fed up and MySpace became a ghost town.
But these days, when you open up Facebook, you're likely to get a huge ad in the middle of the page, several on the right, and zero content.
How long will users tolerate it?

Twitter Updates Rules to Crack Down on Abuse
After a week of public outcry over a series of threats against high-profile media figures, Twitter on Saturday announced an update to its site rules, aiming to more directly combat abuse and harassment that occurs across the network.
"Over the past week, we've been listening to your feedback on how we can improve our service," Twitter employees Del Harvey and Tony Wang wrote in a company blog post on Saturday. "You told us that we need to make our rules clearer, simplify our abuse reporting process, and promote the responsible use of Twitter."
"It comes down to this: people deserve to feel safe on Twitter," the company said.
As a result of the fervor, the company updated its rules to better clarify that it does not tolerate abusive behavior on the service. The company also plans to add an in-tweet report button to its Android client and Twitter.com by the end of next month, and will work closely with the U.K. Safer Internet Centre to promote safe online practices to users.
The complaints began to stir last week, when feminist activist Caroline Criado-Perez received rape threats in the form of tweets, a response to her successful campaign to put celebrated British author Jane Austen on the ten-pound bank note.
Twitter's original response was unsatisfactory to Criado-Perez, who ultimately received support from Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper in the form of vehement condemnation of the microblogging service. Later in the week, a series of bomb threats were made against female journalists covering the story.
Upward of 125,000 signatures were collected on Change.org, a social petitioning and activist website, calling for Twitter to enact stronger policies against abuse and harassment made using its network.
Areas regarding free speech issues are particularly sensitive to Twitter, a company that prides itself on its ability to give a voice to the public while minimizing it's own role in mitigating what should and should not be said via the service.
Clear and present threats, however, have not been tolerated on the network for some time. Twitter's Saturday update lays the policy out more directly, adding clearer language on what constitutes "targeted abuse."
"We are committed to making Twitter a safe place for our users," the company said.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Go to fuel
I use these for short and long rides/ski tours. My go to gel. I'm celiac and these are free from gluten.
Leaky packaging
On yesterday's ride I reached into my jersey pocket to find.. a mess of gooey muck! The Honey Stinger gel had leaked all over everything.. regardless of how good the product is, they need to get their packaging done correctly. I googled this problem and they've had leaky gels for at least five years.. not acceptable. I suggest that you avoid this product unless you're willing to risk getting slimed.
Quick and easy
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are a simple energy boost that is easy to take with you just about anywhere. I enjoy the gel more than actually eating something when I'm gassed at the top of a climb or hike.
Best Gels I've Had
I am not a big fan of the other gels, but these taste good and provide the energy you need. Great for long runs or rides
ski tours and long days on the wall
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I always have these in my pack ready to keep me going all day. Dangerously delicious - dont forget to hydrate!
For that extra boost of energy needed to finish your sport this are great and the great honey taste is a bonus.
Great pick up
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These worked so great for an extended hiking carb and electrolyte. Definitely picked up the group when I passed them out. The taste proved to be a hit as everyone really liked the flavor and the fact they weren't too thick.
Taste good but bad packaging
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These would get a higher score but the ones I got have not been sealed well enough at the opening and keep splitting open in my pack and pockets. Otherwise they taste great, are easy to digest and provides just the right amount of boost to keep you going. Hopefully mine were a production mistake but I am going to put them in a ziplock from now on.
The Stuff Works!!
While they may be a bit sweet; these gels really work; providing that extra lift to get us to the front of the group a the finish.
Great fuel
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These "honey's" have a great flavor and provide substantial fuel for the burn. Been a great addition to my long hikes and runs.
I really appreciate that real honey is used and natural benefits associated with that.
Tried a new flavor and love it. Provides that last little kick to get you up the last climb for the day!
"It's just honey!"
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Yum. yum!
I've been a skeptic of the whole space-food situation when playing bikes or ultra-running. No more! A friend handed me some of these fine fellows on a recent v long ride, when I was approaching **hangry** and shazam, felt so much better that I went out and bought a box that day.
The viscosity of the gel is just right for slurping down mid-activity. It also does not leave me parched or feeling like I'm eating something only to survive as they are delish!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Love these on the bike and skintrack. My go to gels!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Honey goes down easy on the bike and provides a quick boost of energy that doesn't upset your stomach. These are perfect for racing.
I got the Ginsting
Ginsting...? It wasn't bad, but it was very honey'ish. Ginseng? I have no clue what ginseng tastes like. I am not some hippy dippy person who eats that crap.
This is decent stuff. It is like if some honey bee got into some ginseng and made some honey out of it.
Keep This Handy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I always have a couple of these in my pack of gear must-haves when mountain biking and I need some quick energy. I'll have one before a longer or challenging ride as well for a good start. I buy these always by the case before going to Moab for the weekend, and always come home with an empty box (my friends indulge as well). I go for the Gold. *** Questions? Need other product recommendations? Hit me up at email@example.com
Exactly What I Was Looking For
I was originally confused by these and the organic flavored ones and ended up getting the latter in Fruit Smoothie. I'm still not totally sure I understand the difference but nonetheless liked them although that specific flavor was a little too fruity. Gave these a try in gold as a result and they're exactly what I was looking for to keep me fueled while biking/hiking/skiing. Thanks America.
organic is way less sugar and also less of everything...less potassium calories carbs sodium etc...
one and only
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
love these. my friend let me try her GOLD gel on one of our first (running) races, and i just stuck with it. i'm training for the marathon this year and have used it in 5 races so far.
needs to be taken with water as they are slightly thick and concentrated.
had a hard time finding them in-stock at local stores, so i ended up buying a box so i wouldn't have to worry about finding them before every race!
Honey Stinger Energy Gel
not buying again
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I'm a big fan of chocolate, but the chocolate honey I can't handle. And the gel is thicker than any other I've tried. I'd recommend GU or Hammer Nutrition over this stuff. Other flavors may be better, but I'm not going to buy it to try it- a free sample I'd give a shot though

The other thing I've found with cooking these 10 minute pizzas made from dough assembled the day before, it it sets the pace for a gathering. Everyone stands around and talks and socializes, and I chat and work on pizzas, and every 15 minutes or so there is something different to try. It works with everyone standing around the kitchen island drinking wine and being involved in the process, and it works with everyone seated at the table, talking among themselves. I still haven't found the ideal marriage of dough and toppings, but it is fun trying and everyone leaves with a full belly. I've come to realize there will eventually have to be a wood fired pizza oven in my yard, and I'm slowly come to accept the eventuality this passing idea will be a full-grown obsession, temporarily displacing everything until it get built or the next nutty idea comes along. Currently, I am working at jacking up an old shed, replacing the floor joists and attaching skids and moving it, so I can built another shed slightly longer, all so I can built an Aleutian style kayak for which I purchased the wood 2 years ago. So you see, I really don't let go of ideas . . . I still carry an idea for a sculpture titled "The Dichotomy of Man" in my head from maybe 8 years ago. Might be a good project to work on in the new shed . . . . .

Hey Steve, perhaps you can confirm or deny what I've heard about the bulk of the crab, at least King crab, that is caught on the Bering out of Dutch Harbor:
Most of it never sees the lower 48; the bulk of it gets shipped immediately to Japan.
Is this correct?
Is that why you NEVER see King Crab legs, in the lower 48, the size of those caught on, say, the TV show Deadliest Catch?
I've heard that contracts mandate the bulk of the GOOD and BIG crab gets shipped right off to Japan.

There is a self-healing impulse which is part of every person's body, mind and spirit. In most cultures the traditional healing system is based on enhancing and supporting this inborn healing energy. For some reason knowledge of how to enhance our automatic healing impulse has been lost in the United States and the Western world until very recently. For several hundred years we have believed that the disease comes from outside and attacks the individual who is a helpless victim. Many disorders including heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer have been found to be largely preventable. We are now realizing that even though the disease may come from the outside, as in a virus, the internal healing mechanism of the immune system is the most important healer. The best and most profound medicine is already in us. We must learn and then apply methods to turn the medicine on and activate its ability to heal us.
Self-health responsibility, more than any other possible option, is the solution to our healing. Evidence for the truth of this fact is coming at us from everywhere. Research has shown that diet, exercise and stress management are powerful tools for maintaining health. However, in the Western world we have little tradition that is well tried in support of self-health actions. Diets change every day. Jogging was thought to be a perfect system but now has been found to be less beneficial than simple walking. Aerobics sold a great deal of equipment but was found to be detrimental to many people. Now low impact aerobics is the latest approach.
The Qigong of China and the Pranayama of India are systems of self-applied health enhancement which are easy to learn and simple to apply. Self-care is one of the most important features of the Asian traditional systems of medicine. These ancient philosophical and medical theories encourage, and, in fact, demand action and responsibility on the part of the person who is seeking to maintain or enhance health.
The self-application of health enhancement methods is particularly remarkable because of the broad array of real health benefits that are triggered. These practices modify and accelerate the body's own self-regulating physiological and bioenergetic mechanisms. They have a very practical application for healing diseases as well as supporting health maintenance, endurance and longevity. In addition, the very same practices, refined, deepened, and perfected, link to a whole realm of more metaphysical practices focused toward spiritual growth.
In the modern Western world the prevailing medical system is tragically lacking in strategies that a person or patient can implement themselves to support their own healing process. Aside from being patient and compliant to the physician's orders there has generally been little that the patient could do. The self-applied health enhancement methods (SAHEM), that spring from the Asian traditions, are tried and true techniques refined over thousands of years that are ready to be used now. A rapidly expanding health care revolution in the areas of patient responsibility and patient action is necessary immediately to meet the urgent need for solutions to the crisis in medical costs and the crisis in quality of care. These health enhancement practices lend themselves completely and readily to the critical need for patient applied self-care which complements any clinical strategy whether it be as conservative as acupuncture or as radical as surgery.

Google Italy Faces Fresh Tax Probe
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Google's (GOOG) Italian division is under investigation for tax practices once again.
Today, Italian police initiated a new investigation into the company, after a previous probe of 2002-2006 found that Google Italy still owed the government sales tax and had not declared all of its income, Reutersreports.
Google has said that it has complied with the tax laws of all nations in which it operates, and that it plans to cooperate with the investigators.
Italian authorities allege that Google shifted profits from its Italian unit to Ireland, to take advantage of that nation's more lax tax rates.
Shares of Google were recently up 1% in afternoon trading.
In the U.S., Google is hoping to wind down an antitrust probe with the Federal Trade Commission.

Could the Christ Statue be a target for terrorism?
6.1.2016 – Mark Lassise Editor
In light of the corrupt nature of Brazil and the COUP that just took place. I am deeply concerned with the potential for terrorist attacks during the Olympic Games that will be held in 2 months here in Rio de Janeiro. There is a mad dash to finish a dozen infrastructure projects and I feel a serious lack of focus on building security at the Airports, tour stops, hotels and venues. I have lived here for 7 years and traveled all over Brazil as a journalist. It is not to difficult to get access if have are a foreigner and look important. If that doesn't work you can get anything you want in Brazil for the right price and that is straight up truth. Brazilians will tell you there are two Brazils; one for those who have money to buy access and those who are stuck in the system. I hope not to offend but I know this country and I will now gear most of my reports towards this issue.
Brazil is a relatively neutral player in the global governance and terrorist fight. They have not directly created enemies with Radical Islam. Though, the lifestyle here is not in any way in line with Sharia Law. Therefore it is safe to say the most Christian society in the world is at risk. Especially now with the Worlds largest sporting event coming to Rio de Janeiro in August 2016. I just led a tour to the Christ Statue a few days ago and I thought to myself this seems to be a likely target for ISIS or anyone that supports killing Infidels. Then I started to look at the security. I have to say there was a lot of ticket takers and workers but no police presence except the one Park Police officer at the gate of Tijuca National Forest.
I can tell you from experience in my production endeavors. When I was filming the Wingsuit Pilots of Brazil in 2013. We climbed the Corcovado mountain through the forest and cable car tracks, and found a spot just under the Christ the Redeemer Statue. We filmed the preparation and the exit jump of our featured athletes (video below). The whole process took about 4 hours. We were there from before sunrise until 8:00am. The athletes jumped from the base of the statue, landed on the military base grounds with no problems. Me and my crew climbed down the way we came by way of the cable car tracks and forest paths. Not one authority stopped or questioned us.
DONT GET ME WORNG, I love freedom and liberty to do what you want just as long as you are not hurting others while doing what it is you desire. This is Liberty and Freedom at its core BUT we have an enemy that will exploit this if not careful and aware of our defenses. The Christ the Redeemer Statue is the largest symbol of Christianity in South America and seems like a good target. I hope I am wrong but when in a war it is necessary to think like the enemy.
Stay Informed! Stay Vigilant!
Tchau For Now!
An UPDATE on this video. We lost a great guy Fernando Brito last week to a wingsuit accident. He is one of the pilots featured. God Speed my Friend, it was a pleasure to climb the mountains of Rio de Janeiro with you.

And much like the pioneer predecessors who arrived hundreds of years before, the residents of this new unincorporated settlement arrived with little fanfare, minimal provisions, and will build meager, basic living accommodations for their families. Likewise, they come seeking only a new frontier of freedom and embody a primal spirit of survival. On June 28, 29 Black-tailed Prairie Dogs were reintroduced to Caprock Canyons State Park's Honey Flat area as part of a prairie restoration project to return the park's landscape and wildlife back to its appearance prior to European settlement. "This is the latest phase in our attempts to restore this prairie ecosystem," said Donald Beard, Caprock Canyons State Park superintendent. "Restoring the Texas State Bison Herd into the park will probably always be the flagship of our effort, but our plans also include bringing back other animals and native plants to make the land more complete. Adding a prairie dog town is one more part of that, and it will add another popular wildlife viewing opportunity for park visitors." These transplanted animals were donated by Lynda Watson, a private prairie dog advocate and relocation specialist from nearby Lubbock, who had held the animals in a three-week quarantine before being released into the park. In preparation for their arrival, park staff pre-drilled several holes to encourage the animals to begin making their dens. Bottomless cages filled with hay and food were placed over some of the holes to provide temporary shelter and protection from predators. Black-tailed Prairie Dogs are an indigenous, keystone species to the Texas Panhandle, but once upon a time, they were hunted, even exterminated to reduce competition for cattle and other livestock. However, recent decades have brought to light information that has begun to change public perception--that prairie dogs can actually play a useful role in the fragile prairie ecology. Grazing by prairie dogs decreases annual and non-native vegetation, such as mesquite trees, while at the same time increasing beneficial perennial grasses such as buffalo grass and blue grama. Typically, prairie dogs settle in large family groups--called towns--with a labyrinth of interconnected burrows and holes, and also benefit numerous other native species such as Burrowing Owls, Black-footed Ferrets, Ferruginous Hawks and Swift Foxes. A few hundred years ago, these oversized ground squirrels roamed some 700 million acres across the Great Plains of North America with a population estimated to be more than 5 billion animals. The transplanted prairie dogs at Caprock Canyons will be confined within the interior of the 15,000-acre nature preserve to prevent the animals from leaving the park borders. Environmental boundaries such as heavy brush, steep canyon cliffs and natural funnels along with constant monitoring and population management practices will assist park staff in containing the town within the 200-acre defined habitat enclosure. "Another part of having prairie dogs on site here in the park is for education for the visiting public," Beard added. "Although prairie dogs can compete with cattle and livestock, it has been found that in healthy pastures, there is sufficient forage available cattle and dogs, even under heavy grazing pressure."For more information, contact Caprock Canyons State Park at (806) 455-1492. -30-

PMView + Panorama VESA
Message 1:
From the log I can see that the crash occurs in the IBM Open Class library. Obviously Panorama VESA changes the OS/2 behavior so that it is not compatible with the OCL code...
OS/2 returns error 0x2033 when calling GpiCreateLogFont.
This may not necessarily be an error, but the OCL code does not like it and throws an exception that kills PMView.
Message 2:
Ok, I found this notation in my code:
// GpiCreateLogFont sometimes fails "without reason" and a retry will succeed. Let's try three times until giving up...
PMView is currently only trying 3 times, and this used to work in the past. Maybe with todays faster machine even more retries are needed.
Nobody reported this problem, but I remember seeing it on my own SMP system.
The problem is clearly an OS/2 problem. There's nothing to do about it but to retry... Apparently a retry count of 10 would be better than 3...

The Miami Dolphins have shed some light on their search for a new general manager.

Dolphins owner Stephen Ross released a lengthy statement late Thursday night that read in parts like a job listing on Monster.com. The statement made it clear the new GM will have control over the roster -- the same power held by Jeff Ireland, fired Tuesday after six years on the job.
"The new general manager will have autonomous responsibility for the 53-man roster and selecting players during the draft and will report to me," the statement read. "First and foremost, this person must have a passion for the game and demonstrated player evaluation expertise. They will need to be a person who is a collaborative team player that puts the organization first.
"Regardless of reporting structure, the relationship between the general manager and coach Philbin must be one of trust, respect, and collaboration, and this will be an area we will look closely at during the process. This individual also must be a person with integrity who is open-minded and creative."
Ross additionally revealed that former Kansas City Chiefs general manager Carl Peterson will assist the team in locating Ireland's replacement. Peterson will not have a role with the team after the search is complete.
"Carl and I have had a business relationship for almost 30 years dating back to the USFL, and I have tremendous respect for his experience and judgment on team-building and football operations," Ross said.
The owner added that he and coach Joe Philbin are running football operations during the search and continue to conduct interviews in the search to find Mike Sherman's successor as offensive coordinator.
UPDATE: The Dolphins completed interviews with three GM candidates, the team announced Friday. They were Brian Gaine, assistant GM with the 'Fins, Omar Khan, director of football and business administration with the Steelers and Jason Licht, vice president of player personnel with the Cardinals.
We previewed all four Divisional Round Weekend games in the latest "Around The League Podcast."

The book brings to life, international philanthropic celebrities like Bill and Melinda Gates, Warren Buffet, the Tatas, Azim Premji, etc. and makes you realise your power to do good.
This book is close to my heart for a number of reasons - the biggest of them being Mr Lala. I happened to be seated across Mr Lala at a philanthropy conference. He asked me to see him to get to know about new tools and platforms for giving. I could not imagine that the expert, who was Director of the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust for 18 years and Co-founder & Chairman of the Centre for Advancement of Philanthropy for 15 years, was keen to know more about giving! It was overwhelming and humbling to meet him and I am excited to receive and read an autographed copy of his most recent book, "The Art of Effective Giving". I found our brief interaction covered in pages 110-112 of the book.
– Pushpa Aman Singh, CEO, GuideStar India
For instance, it is to Sir Dorab Tata's philanthropy that India owes her participation in the Olympic Games and Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy Hospital continues to save lives, 150 years after inception.
Aimed at a layperson audience, the book is divided into two main sections. The first section navigates through the turning points in the lives of philanthropists, giving the reader a ring-side view of their journeys from capitalism to "philanthrocapitalism". The variety of the journeys is striking: While Bill Gates describes it as "a grand new adventure", he also "weeps at the story and the suffering of other people". Warren Buffet, having given away 99 per cent of his wealth, regards philanthropy "a lot harder and riskier than business" while Thomas Boone Pickens, while pledging 1 billion USD to the United Nations, confesses "My hands shook as I signed it away". Carnegie regards all surplus revenues as "Trust funds" which he is "called to administer…for his poorer brethren". The author demystifies and simplifies philanthropy, addresses the head-versus-heart dilemmas faced by the philanthropist giants in a chapter-wise, easy-to-read fashion. The first section, in effect, leaves the reader with a healthy feeling of smallness, perhaps wondering "If the giants did it, what's stopping me?".
Having sufficiently touched the heart of the reader, the author, in the second section, proceeds to ask the reader to now lend a hand, so to speak, or rather partake in the pleasures of becoming a giver, even if, at a small level. The second section, though far briefer, is power-packed with stories of impacts of individual giving, and is the actual bungee jump (after the mental preparation in the first section!), plunging the reader into an action-mode, and after having satisfied the adrenalin rush of giving once, to give again.
Broadly, the author, owing to his personal involvement in the sector perhaps, does not dwell on measurable impacts achieved by the philanthropists per se, but, the heart-cry of the book is different: it is "to encourage people to enjoy the joy of giving".
To this end, the author states excerpts from an interview with Pushpa Aman Singh, CEO, GuideStar India, where she shares her motivation to quit the corporate sector and join the voluntary sector and she motivates people to step out, take a chance and change a life and enjoy the journey!
In closing, it is not just another un-put-down-able book, for, at the end of it, I am persuaded to utilize "my power to do good" and loosen my purse-strings for the benefit of a 'stranger' street child at a railway station near home… therefore, "The Art of Effective Giving" has certainly hit home.

Please note that the actual cover of the book and the title is slightly different from the one seen on the website -"Widening the circle: The Art of Effective Giving". Don't let this distract you from the treasures inside the book!
