Greenberg Smoked Turkeys, Inc. v. Goode-Cook, Inc., No. 10-621, (Complaint filed November 23, 2010, E.D. Texas) [Download the Complaint]
Happy Thanksgiving. I'm grateful for your continued support and interest in Internet Cases. It truly is a pleasure to write these posts and to get your feedback and engagement. And it's also a pleasure to bring you news of this ultra-timely new copyright lawsuit.
Greenberg Smoked Turkeys, as you might expect, sells turkeys. Since 1987 it has distributed these turkeys with some simple instructions, comprised of three short paragraphs. You can read these instructions which are embedded in the complaint. It posted these instructions on its website in 2003.
Some time thereafter, Greenberg alleges, its turkey selling competitor copied the instructions and began using the instructions on its own website. Thus this lawsuit.
Infringement claims over instructions can be a tricky endeavor. In copyright law, there's something called the "merger doctrine." This relates to the idea-expression dichotomy: ideas are not copyrightable but their expression is. Simple instructions or directions may not pass this threshold: in their simplicity, they may be expressing something in the only possible way. That kind of expression does not rise to the level of copyrightability.

Once upon a time I stumbled across a little something called eggplant bacon. Immediately I was all like "WHOA, WHAT?!?!" Did I just discover the blissful marriage between one of my all-time favorite vegetables and the most delicious edible ever? Because lets be honest folks, bacon is magic. Pure magic. Period. During my vegetarian years, the one thing I missed the most was bacon. Imitated, yes. Duplicated, never.
Several years ago I tried out various forms of this said "facon bacon" delight, and you know what? It tastes NOTHING LIKE BACON. After revamping and melding a few recipes, I came up with a damn good substitute for jerky and that made me a very happy girl! I'm not a big fan of jerky, it gets stuck in my teeth, makes my stomach uneasy, and leaves a weird aftertaste in my mouth. It is a big fat trifecta of no-thank-you-ness! But still, there is just something about jerky that makes me think I want to eat it… and then I'm immediately reminded as to why I don't! Eggplant jerky satisfies my cravings without all the regret!
2-3 medium-sized eggplant, I like to use globe-shaped varieties.
1/4 cup neutral oil, such as sunflower, grapeseed, or safflower.
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup white rice vinegar
3 tbsp Worcestershire
1 tbsp water
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne
1 tsp liquid smoke
pinch of salt
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk to incorporate, set aside. Wash and dry eggplant, cut off stem and blossom ends, and slice lengthwise into 1/4″ pieces. Slice in half again and marinate in spice mixture for 15 minutes, toss occasionally so that all pieces are well coated. Place on dehydrator trays in a single layer and turn up the heat to the veggie setting. Remove from trays once the eggplant is dry but pliable. Usually I let mine run overnight. Place in an airtight container for long-term storage.

Based at the visitor centre this two day course is a great starting point before heading out into the hills. It is ideal for those new to navigating with a map and compass or those looking to refresh their skills. During the two days the course will cover many aspects of how to stay safe with a few classroom sessions mixed in with plenty of practical training based on the local hills.
On Day one we'll look at the equipment we use, what to look for when purchasing new and how to look after it; how to make sense of a weather forecast and the decisions we need to make when planning a day out; understanding commonly used maps, scales, symbols and the shape of the hills we're walking over; Practical skills in route planning and basic navigation.
On Day Two we'll head out on a day walk. With plenty of practical opportunities along the way we'll add to your skills and look at simple navigation strategies including using a compass. The aim at the end of the two days is to give you the confidence to plan your own routes, head out on your local hills and most importantly, return safely.

Because preseason NFL football barely resembles the real thing most of the time, it can be tough to determine how much stock to put into what you're seeing. That goes double for the Bears' warm-up Thursday against San Diego at Soldier Field, which featured Manti Te'o's return to the Chicago area. We're to help you sort out what resembles a hoax and what deserves your concern.
Manti Te'o's injury
How real: 4 out of 5
The former Notre Dame linebacker was in a walking boot and sidelined for Thursday's game. We know—we've been here before. But considering he never missed a game while playing for the Irish, this is (probably) legit. No sign of Dr. Phil, either. Thank goodness.
Devin Hester's elusiveness
How real: 5 out of 5
He returned the opening kickoff 45 yards. It's impressive because special teams players—the ones trying to tackle Hester—typically are on the bubble. Meaning if they don't impress, they're probably not gonna make the team.
Cutler's dependence on Marshall
How real: 5 out of 5
Jay Cutler completed four passes for 38 yards Thursday. All of them to Brandon Marshall. We shouldn't be surprised, considering Marshall caught 41 percent of the Bears' passes in the 2012 regular season. But someone else HAS to get Cutler's attention.
Chris Berman's enthusiasm
How real: 1 out of 5
We're not questioning how much the ESPN broadcaster loves football. He really, really, REALLY loves football. We're just thinking that in the preseason, all that energy has to be coming from somewhere else. Like alternating shots of Red Bull and 5-hour Energy.
Thursday's weather
How real: 2 out of 5
Seriously? Barely 70 degrees at kickoff for a mid-August game, and lows in the upper 50s?! That's just not right. We sure hope the rest of August doesn't feel like mid-May.
Corey Wootton's sack dance
How real: 4 out of 5
Not a bad celebration effort, especially considering it's just the preseason. We'll expect a much more polished effort come midseason, however—something worthy of Sack Dancing with the Stars. Think Clay Matthews or Jared Allen, only less obnoxious.
Lovie Smith's influence
How real: 3 out of 5
The Bears defense forced two turnovers in the first quarter, against the Chargers' first-team offense. Very reminiscent of Smith's takeaway-obsessed crew. The only reason this isn't higher? San Diego QB Philip Rivers is not the most sure-handed guy out there.

Peter came from a wealthy and pious family in Valladolid, Spain. At the age of 13, he was allowed to enter the Conventual Franciscans. Shortly after his ordination, he was made superior of the friary in Aguilar. He became part of a group of friars who wanted to lead a life of greater poverty and penance. In 1442 he was appointed head of all the Spanish Franciscans in his reform group.
Peter led the friars by his example. A special love of the poor and the sick characterized Peter. Miraculous stories are told about his charity to the poor. For example, the bread never seemed to run out as long as Peter had hungry people to feed. Throughout most of his life, Peter went hungry; he lived only on bread and water.
Immediately after his death on March 31, 1456, his grave became a place of pilgrimage. Peter was canonized in 1746.

The Budget Hearing Scam
Colbert King, the Washington Post's Pulitzer-winning columnist, has a pretty good handle on how D.C. mayor-elect Vincent Gray's call for "more public input" on the budget would work out in practice:
The council is elected to make decisions, not to take polls. What's more, people know a set-up when they see it. Gray's scenario, intentionally or not, is a prescription for raising taxes. Here is how it would work:
Council members, with the elections safely behind them, produce a deficit-closing term sheet that reads like a doomsday manifesto. It describes deep cuts in areas likely to produce the most screams: public safety, education, health care, workforce reductions, arts and culture, etc.
That is followed by council hearings at which long lines of witnesses representing nonprofit advocacy groups and employee unions produce gripping testimony that predicts untold pain and agony resulting from the projected program and payroll cuts.
Following the hearing, which stretches late into the night or the next morning, the lawmakers conclude, reluctantly of course, that there is strong "public" opposition to cuts in government and that they, as conscientious legislators, have no alternative but to keep the government at its current size and, instead, close the deficit with tax increases on middle- and high-income D.C. wage-earners.
King, a longtime close observer of D.C. politics, is describing an example of the general problem of concentrated benefits and diffuse costs -- every government program has a few beneficiaries who will show up to defend it, while the taxpayers who will pay for each of these programs have much less incentive to devote time and money to opposing proposals for spending.

Study: Mexican wages fall below Chinese levels
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico is looking to penetrate the Chinese market after a new report suggested that Mexican labor costs have fallen below those of China.
President Enrique Pena Nieto visited Hong Kong on Friday, and said "I am convinced that Mexican products should take advantage of the dynamism of China's markets."
Just a decade ago, Mexico's prospect of exporting much to China seemed distant. Mexican average labor costs were then almost double China's.
But a report by a chief economist for Bank of America Merrill Lynch this week estimated that Mexico's labor costs are now 19.6% lower than China's.
The study by chief economist Carlos Capistran cites the bank's own estimates and official data indicating that a big increase in China's costs have turned the balance.

CPSR Joined Diverse Coalition to Fight AOL's Email Tax
Electronic Frontier Foundation & Free Press
Tuesday, February 28,
CONTACT: Trevor Fitzgibbon, 202-246-5303, Alex Howe, Fenton Communications, 202.822.520
Diverse Coalition Teams Up to Fight
AOL's "Email Tax"
Launches New Web Site, www.DearAOL.com
AOL's pay-to-send system would hurt the Internet - stifling economic innovation, free speech and civic participation online
Today, an unlikely coalition of more than 50 groups representing over 15 million people launched an unprecedented campaign to fight AOL's new pay-to-send email proposal.
The coalition announced an "Open Letter To AOL" at www.DearAOL.com urging AOL not to implement an "email tax" that would harm Internet freedom. Coalition members include Craigslist founder Craig Newmark, MoveOn.org Civic Action, Gun Owners of America, the Association of Cancer Online Resources, the Humane Society, the AFL-CIO, and others.
As described in Tuesday's Associated Press article, "Diverse Group Teams Up To Fight Email Fee," AOL wants to allow mass-emailers to pay to bypass AOL's spam filters and get guaranteed delivery to the inboxes of AOL customers. Charities, small businesses, civic organizing groups, and even families with mailing lists would have no such guarantee their emails would be delivered and would see their email service grow increasingly unreliable.
"AOL's pay-to-send scheme threatens the free and open Internet as we
know it," said Timothy Karr, campaign director of Free Press, a
national, nonpartisan media reform organization and one of two main
sponsors of today's announcement. "The Internet needs to be a level
playing field. The flow of online information, innovation and ideas is
not a luxury to be sold off to the highest bidder."
The coalition's campaign will include a large-scale public awareness campaign about the threat AOL's email tax poses to the free and open Internet. This includes today's national conference call, petitions tomemberships, the www.DearAOL.com Web site where members of the public can sign an open letter to AOL, a "Stop AOL's Email Tax" icon that anyone can put on their Web site, a letter to the editor campaign, and future campaign tactics.
Groups involved in the coalition said AOL's proposal would harm their
ability to communicate with members. In some cases, the
consequences would be extraordinarily harmful.
"AOL's email tax could potentially block every AOL subscriber suffering from any form of cancer from receiving potentially life-saving information," said Gilles Frydman, head of the Association for Cancer Online Resources. "Cancer patients may not be able to get resources simply because a nonprofit like ACOR-which serves more than 55,000 cancer patients and caregivers every day-cannot afford to pay AOL's fee."
"Gun owners don't like the government or businesses controlling what
goes in their inboxes," said Larry Pratt Executive Director of Gun
Owners of America. "Gun owners are an independent lot; their assumption
is that government and corporations will do a bad job of managing their
The moment AOL adopts a pay-to-send system, it would be dividing the Internet into two classes of users - those who pay to get preferential treatment and those who are left behind with inevitably inferior service. AOL customers would be left wondering if emails from their friends, family and favorite causes were being delivered, since those emails would not be "guaranteed" like paid ones.
"Perversely, AOL's pay-to-send system would actually reward AOL
financially for degrading free email for regular customers as they
attempt to push people into paid-mail," said Danny O'Brien, Activism
Coordinator for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the other main
sponsor of today's event. "AOL should be working to ensure its spam
filters don't block legitimate mail, not charging protection money to
bypass those filters."
Coalition members said AOL's decision on whether to go ahead with an
"email tax" would affect the entire future of the Internet.
"We need to judge AOL's email tax by this standard: Will it change the Internet in a way that empowers or disempowers regular people who have a computer and want to turn their small idea into a big idea online, said Eli Pariser, executive director of MoveOn.org Civic Action. "The Internet has revolutionized civic organizing, free speech and economic ingenuity by relying on a level playing field where the haves and have-nots get treated equally...this e-mail tax would be a big step toward dismantling that free and open Internet."

In one of UFC's better title fights of late, Benson Henderson claimed the lightweight belt as he won a unanimous decision over Frankie Edgar at UFC 144 in Tokyo Saturday night.

Crete's second city
Chania is Crete's second largest city and is located on the western side of the island. The Old Town's diverse cultural heritage - Byzantine, Venetian, Ottoman - has resulted in a rich architectural landscape that perfectly complements the natural beauty of the Mediterranean waterfront. Whether its the charm of the local craft shops and museums, or the stunning mountains and beaches nearby, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
Old Chania has traditional workshops and modern boutiques for every taste. In Maher�dika (the knife-makers' quarter), get an inscribed, horn-handled dagger at Apostolos Pakhtikos (Sif�ka 29). Tzangarakis (Sif�ka 18) is Crete's best copper antique outlet, crammed with reasonably priced objects not findable in the rest of Greece. Assorted leather goods – boots, sandals, handbags – line Skrydl�f Street. The last loom weaver in Crete claims to be Mihalis Manousakis, at Roka (Zambel�ou 61), while the Centre of Traditional Folk Art and Culture (Skouf�n 20, Evra�k�) specialises in top-notch embroidery. House of Amber (Kondyl�ki 13, Evra�k�) has 'worry beads' made of amber. Finally, the New Town's covered market bulges with all manner of local foodstuffs, from stamnag�thi (spiny chicory) to ap�ki (cured streaky pork) by way of mountain cheeses and dried herbs.
Food & Drink
Chania offers conventional Cretan eateries and more Mediterranean-fusion ones. Tear yourself away from the interconnecting Venetian harbours, as most establishments there offer poor value – except for inconspicuous Halkina (Akt� Tomb�zi 29-30), popular for titbits like marath�pita (fennel pie), aubergine roulade and ap�ki (cured streaky pork). East of the Old Town in Hal�pa, Kalamoti (Veniz�lou 142) proves a dab hand at casserole dishes and seafood, plus excellent myz�thra cheese. West of the walls in Neah�ra, Ouzythino (Akt� Papanikol�, fishing jetty) offers seaside dining without airs or graces and heaping portions of Sfakian sausages, stuffed peppers and courgette patties. Forego sea views at Tamam (Zambel�ou 49, Evra�k�), famous for Middle Eastern fusion fare and atmospheric Turkish-bath setting.
Chania Carnival
Masquers, parades and parties take over the city during carnival season, with some top events also taking place in outlying villages on the nearby Akrot�ri peninsula.
Blessing of Sheep
Taking place on 23 April, or the Monday after Easter if that's later, the Blessing of Sheep is the big event in Asigoni�, a pastoral village in the hills above Chania. All the flocks are milked (the result offered to spectators), blessed by the priest and re-belled as necessary.
Sampajana Jazz Festival
For four days in June, the Sampajana Jazz Festival plays host to not just jazz, but funk and 'ethnic' gigs too, in the Firka Bastion of the outer Venetian harbour. Past Greek stars have included Psarandonis and Haig Yazdjian.
Sardine Festival
September Free grilled sardines at Neah�ra Beach mark the end of the sardine season, with musical accompaniment.
Cultural Summer
The annual Cultural Summer sees municipally organised performances in a host of venues scattered across the Old and New Town; given the economic crisis, expect the programme to be sparser in future.
Chania's Old Town is overflowing with characterful accommodation, from basic pensions to renovated five-star Venetian mansions. Top of the heap, offering honeymoon-calibre luxury, is suite-format Casa Delfino (Theof�nous 9). A few steps away, Porto del Colombo (Theof�nous and Moschon) is easier on the wallet but almost equally sumptuous, with mock-medieval furniture. In the Hal�pa quarter, east of the walled town, Doma (Veniz�lou 124), a neo-classical manse that once served as a foreign consulate, offers an antique-studded wallow in nostalgia. Near the Orthodox Cathedral, Madame Bassia (Bet�lou 45-51) is an established budget favourite, with variably sized rooms housed in a tall, narrow 1890s mansion.

If there was any doubt that it's political season, look no further than President Barack Obama's social media engagement.
The President recently began sharing over-saturated pictures on Instgram, while his wife Michelle Obama joined Twitter earlier this month.
But don't worry, Sasha and Malia are still not allowed on Facebook.
Now Mr. Obama is planning to conduct a hang out on Google+ at some point next week, according to The Associated Press.
The President is planning to take questions on the afternoon of Jan. 30 ahead of his State of the Union address.

Both those Americans who can't afford to buy health insurance and those who have decided to get by without it will face the same order from congressional Democrats as they prepare legislation to overhaul health care: buy health insurance. And if they can't afford the coverage,taxpayers will help them pay for it.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
The reform bills offered by both Senate and House Democrats would impose an individual mandate — a requirement that everyone obtain health insurance. Taxpayer-provided subsidies would go to lower-income Americans if they could not afford to purchase it.
The Senate health committee's draft bill would require all legal residents of the United States to have insurance and would penalize people who did not obtain insurance, except those with incomes below about $16,250. The House Democrats' bill has a similar provision.
In the most recent Census estimate, published last August, nearly 46 million people, or about 15 percent of the population, were without health insurance in 2007.
That number has risen during the recession as people have been laid off and lost their employer-sponsored health coverage.
The national unemployment rate has risen from 5.6 percent in June of 2008 to 9.5 percent last month. A study done by the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured estimates that for every one percentage point increase in the unemployment rate, there's a 0.59 percent increase in the percentage of uninsured adults.
A 10 percent unemployment rate would equate to 5.8 million additional people being uninsured, according to the Kaiser study.
One reason that the topic of the uninsured has loomed large in the current debate, economists say, is that enrolling the healthy uninsured can improve insurance risk pooling and may help control costs over time.
"One of the goals of health reform is to create broader-based risk pools," said health care economist Linda Blumberg, a former advisor to President Bill Clinton who is now at the non-partisan Urban Institute in Washington. "The more healthy people that we can bring in, the lower will be the average cost in that risk pool."
Seeking a mix of risks
She explained, "If we just open the pool and don't require everybody to come in, then we're making it a high-risk pool. The only people who are going to end up in that pool are going to be the sick. To make those pools sustainable over time we need a mix of risks — we need both the sick and the healthy in."
If Congress imposes an individual mandate, she said, "you're bringing in higher-income people who aren't going to be subsidized and you're bringing in the people who are healthier and didn't expect to use medical care."
There's more than one risk pool: the uninsured would be buying insurance in the individual market, the small-business market, or through a new "health insurance exchange," a federally regulated Web-based marketplace similar to a travel Web site such as Orbitz.
Paul Fronstin at the Employment Benefit Research Institute, a nonpartisan research group in Washington, said, "To some degree, requiring the (healthy) uninsured to have coverage is simply bringing them into the system to cross-subsidize the people that already have coverage."
Bringing in the healthy uninsured will reduce the average cost of care, Fronstin said, "because you've brought in more people in paying, but not necessarily more people using health care."
He added, "We're assuming that this (uninsured) population is healthier on average than the general population. We know that because they are younger on average than the overall population."
According to the Kaiser Commission, nearly one-third of the uninsured in 2007 were between ages 19 and 29 and another 42 percent were between ages 30 and 54.
An essential element of the Democrats' proposals is "guaranteed issue" — a requirement that insurers not turn away people who are sickly and have high medical costs.
Who's who in the health care debate"It's a package deal," Fronstin said. "You can't have an individual mandate without guaranteed issue — and you can't have guaranteed issue without an individual mandate. If we're going to require insurance companies to sell people insurance independent of their health status, then everyone has to be in the system. Otherwise people are going to wait until they get sick to buy health care."
During last year's presidential campaign, President Barack Obama supported mandating coverage for children, but not for adults.
But in a June 2 letter to Sen. Edward Kennedy, D- Mass., the chairman of the Senate health committee, and Sen. Max Baucus, D- Montana, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, the president signaled his openness to an individual mandate: "I understand the Committees are moving towards a principle of shared responsibility — making every American responsible for having health insurance coverage, and asking that employers share in the cost."
The way to make certain that uninsured people obtain insurance is a combination of incentives — subsidies for the low-income uninsured — and financial penalties for more affluent uninsured who try to get by without insurance.
And what about lower-income and middle-income people who are currently struggling to keep paying their health insurance premiums? "You can't just subsidize the uninsured because that would create real inequities," said Blumberg. "You don't want to penalize the people who are sacrificing to buy health insurance."
Cost of subsidies: $700 billion
This will be a costly proposition: the Senate health committee bill calls for more than $700 billion in taxpayer subsidies over 10 years to help low-income people buy insurance.
And then there are those who could buy insurance but prefer not to. The task for Congress will be to devise penalties that prod these people into becoming paying members of a risk pool.
As Fronstin and Murray Ross of the Kaiser Permanente Institute for Health Policy said in a recent analysis: "While there is considerable reluctance to criminalize being uninsured, having only token financial penalties would miss the point."
Fronstin said, "The crucial difficulty is finding that financial penalty sweet spot. If it's too low, then you're going to have a lot of people who just pay the penalty."
Timeline: Health care highs and lowsSince neither the House nor the Senate has debated legislation yet, many of these important details remain unknown.
"You want to see what the penalty is. You want to see what the rules are regarding subsidies for the low-income. You want to see what actually qualifies as a health plan. And some of these details may not actually be in the bill," Fronstin said.
Congress is likely to leave some of nitty-gritty to the secretary of Health and Human Services.
The House Democrats' bill gives broad authority to a new Health Choices Commissioner who would oversee the health insurance exchanges and the system of subsidies for low-income people.
Higher spending in the short run
One thing seems certain: even though the dominant theme of the debate so far has been the need to achieve cost savings, insuring the uninsured isn't a cost savings measure, at least not in the short run.
If an individual mandate became law, there would be higher — not lower — national health care spending, at least initially, said MIT health care economist Jonathan Gruber. "Higher for sure in the short run," Gruber said. "If you newly cover 47 million folks, costs are going to go up. But hopefully this can lower costs in the long run" as people use medical care more efficiently.
Blumberg agrees with Gruber. "If everybody is in the system, at least in the near term, we are going to see an increase in national health spending," she said.
That's because, she said, "there are a lot of people who are currently not getting the care that they need. Once they are brought into the system, at least in the early years, health care costs are going to go up."
But, she added, the hope is that cost-containment efforts will lead to lower spending than if reform hadn't been done.
The forces driving the constant increase in America's health care spending are not primarily the cost of uncompensated care for the uninsured, said Gruber. Uncompensated medical care of the uninsured amounts to an estimated $57 billion a year — equivalent to about 2.6 percent of the $2.2 trillion in annual health care expenditures.
The hoped-for cost savings will need to be found in the way America pays for all who get medical care, not just the uninsured.

The line can be traced back to Sebastian Van Kortrijk whose family was from the Flemish town of Kortrijk on the Lys. He and his family were refuges of the religious upheavals in Europe and in the early 1600s, he left that area and moved to Holland. He took up residence in Leerdam.
There were seventeen provinces in the Netherlands and these contained the present countries of Holland and Belgium. That whole country had been made part of France during the rule of Charlemagne (767-814), but in the fifteenth century it came under Spanish rule. Charles V. became king of Spain in 1516, and finding many adherents to Martin Luther's reformed faith, he became determined to crush out Protestantism. Thus became a time of great religious persecution in the Netherlands. Under Philip, who succeeded his father, Charles in 1555, things became even worse. By the early 1600s, Holland had became an asylum for the persecuted of many lands.
Two sons were born to Sebastian during his time in Leerdam, Jan and Michiel. Family names were the exception among the early Dutch ancestors. Most often the father's first was affixed with sen (meaning son) and used as a surname. So the two became known as Jan and Michiel Bastiensen Van Kortryk.
Michiel, my ancester married and settled at Schoonrewoed, a village about two miles north of Leerdam, in South Holland. There he had four children, Reyer, born in 1653, Metje in 1655, Annetje in 1658 and Bastien in 1662. Another daughter, Alfjie, was born shortly after the family arrived in the New Amsterdam. Meanwhile, Jan had also married had had four children.
With the development of the West India Company, whose main purpose was the expand trade and colonization of America, the Dutch people began to emigrate. The new world promised so much in material gain and religious freedom.
On 16 April 16 1663, Michiel and his brother Jan departed for New Amsterdam, in present day New York, on the "Spotted Cow". Each brought their wife and four children. The Bastiensens came as free men not indebted to the Dutch West India Company for their passage.
Reyer Michielsen/Michelsen was born in 1653 in Leerdam, Holland. He married Jacomia Tiebout on 15 April 1686 in the Dutch Reformed Church of New York. Reyer and Jacomia had eight children, Michiel, Hendrick, Sarah, Tunis, Ryer, Hannah, Mary and Jane. Some of these children followed the Dutch custom and took their father's name with sen attached and became known as Reyersen or Ryerson. Two continued their father's surname and became Michielsen or Michiels. Reyer died in 1733 in Fordham, in what is now New York.
Hendrick Michelsen, my ancestor, was born about 1705 at Fordham Manor in New York. He married Jane and had three sons, John, Hendrick and Michael. He probably lived his entire life there.
John MeKeel was born about 1730. He married Martha Haight about 1749. He was a member of the Westchester County Militia. Joseph and Martha had four children - Joseph, Mary, Nathaniel and John McKeel.
Joseph MeKeel/McKeel was born about 1750. He was a Loyalist during the Revolutionary War, fighting on the side of the English. When the war was over he and his family fled to New Brunswick, Canada. On November 1, 1785 he was granted 200 acres at Long Reach, King's County, New Brunswick, for service to England during the war. He married Anna Burtis and had 6 children, Joseph, John, Isaac, Sarah, James and Mary McKeel.
Joseph McKeel was born about 1800 in New Brunswick, Canada. He married Ann Margaret Lounder on 15 October 1823 in Greenwich, New Brunswick, Canada. They had 7 children, James, Eleanor, Mary, John, Joseph, Sarah and Eliza McKeel.
Eliza Eva McKeel was born on 3 October 1839 and, according to the records of the Greenwich and Westfield Anglican Church, was baptized on 16 March 1840. Eliza had two children born out of wedlock, Melvin and George Byron McKiel, before marrying Jacob VanWart and having 5 more children. Eliza and Jacob's children were Miles, Mahala, Rosie May, Joseph and Frederick VanWart. Eliza died on 6 August 1916 in New Brunswick, Canada.
Harry Redvers McKiel was born 30 July 1900 in New Brunswick, Canada. He married Elise Marie Robinson on 29 October 1924 in St. John's Parish, St. John's, New Brunswick, Canada.
Harry and Elsie moved from Canada to Albion, Maine. They bought a farm there from Fred Hussey who had married Harry's sister Olive May. There they had a dairy and potato farm. They had five children, four girls and my father.

Season 2 is a fairly long way from starting as the numbers have to be established to make it worthwhile. Sign in Here
However, here are a few of the ideas to hopefully be implimented in Season 2.
Reserve League.
Players (young and below average foreign players) often do not get selected. This means they missout on the points they could get from the game and the gap between them and the first choice players widens.
The Reserve League would not require managerial input and would be teams playing 4-4-2 in a vanilla tactic with the aim of giving the players outside the first XI a runout and experience (that increases skills).
Each team will be able to draft 2 experienced pros. This is to allow a team to gameplan and balance a squad. However, only 1 of the 2 'marquee' players may be in the gameday squad at any time. The reason for 2 is that only one can play but a team isnt disadvantaged by having such a player injured as they can use the other one.
The draft will then continue with less experienced and less proficient players to fill squads.
Progession Players, dependant on age, will recieve stats increase or decrease. Generally, the younger the player the bigger the increase.
Adjustment To be discussed, but there may be a change in the stats (though keeping all players at the same relative level) as there seems to be ways to improve the stability and realism of the sim.
No player is contracted to a club and it would be unfair to force them to stay at a club if they do not want to. However, in order to keep an element of parity in the league, to sign a player from another club a team must release a player of equal or greater statistical value. The team that lost a player would then have first option to sign that player.
More to come...

Day Six - August 5, 2002
Click Here for Day Three - August 2, 2002
Click Here for Day One - July 31, 2002
The sixth day of Super Nats 2002 kicked off with an interesting wake-up call. Following a night of heavy thunder and lightening, I woke up to the barking of Otis, the Briney beagle. He had spent the entire night under Bruce and Cheryl's bed when the storm ventured into the Portage neighborhood. Once the sun rose in the morning, however, he was very much alive as he barked at everything that caught his eye. I guess you could call it a poor man's rooster calling, but in any event, Otis provided a good alternative from the usual alarm clock sounds.
Today marked the first full day of tennis from the 18s and 16s division. The 16s group featured a very talented group of players. Some were targeted as potential Broncos as they would graduate in 2003, while others had just finished their first or second year in high school. Though most of the 16s division didn't necessarily have college on their minds, it was still very important to put names with faces and also make sure that they knew we were watching them. After all, most of these young players were going to be on prospect lists down the road so it was advantageous to get a head start on the group.
With 16s competing at the same time as the 18s, time management was critical. My traveling schedule included a trip to Stowe Stadium, followed by Western Michigan University, then Stowe, then Western, and last but not least, Stowe. Matches were pushed back an hour or so due to the overnight storm that made a few puddles on the courts. The action caught up rather quickly at Stowe as some of the early 16s singles matches were pretty much blowouts, while the matches at Western featured a fair share of three-set grinds. Another tricky affair, evaluation day six would require some fancy footwork.
A solid contingent from California highlighted the morning segment, with a pair of players looking to graduate next year. As the hours ticked by past midday, I had caught eight matches and it was now time to hit Western for a four-pack of 18s. A 1 � hour time period was spent at Western before it was time to return to Stowe for more 18s matches and the beginning of 16s doubles.
The stadium was packed to near capacity as five of the top-seeded players in the 18s were all playing on the front courts. A couple quick trips to the Stowe barbecue pit took care of hunger pains, while I focused on tackling lengthy afternoon and evening segment of matches. After the seeded players dismissed their opponents and a few 16s doubles were played, it was time to head over to Western for a half dozen more matches.
At Western, I found myself racing between the lower and upper courts as the six matches were split evenly at both locations. Targeted future Broncos from California, Illinois, Indiana and Florida were battling their opponents while I was darting from court to court. Thankfully, the weather had cooled down to more of a Bay Area climate providing a very refreshing change from the humidity.
The day moved toward the six o'clock hour and it was time to make the final trip to Stowe to watch the final two matches. There was a special barbecue social being hosted by the tournament committee that began at 6:30, so I was hoping for to avoid a pair of three setters. Well, I was 1-for-2 on my wish list as the last match of the day featuring a pair of Californians finished at 9 p.m. Both of the players looked awfully tired and ready for bed. I was ready to speed over to the barbecue for some food and drink.
I arrived to the event by 10 p.m., just in time to enjoy a cold beverage and trail mix. The catering company had unfortunately taken the food away, but that wasn't too big of a deal since I was ready to call it a day.

Department of Revenue News Release
September 03, 2010Department of Revenue Putting More Government Services Online
Innovative use of technology will improve services to taxpayers, make government business 'faster, cheaper and easier'
JEFFERSON CITY - Responding to Governor Jay Nixon's call to promote government efficiency, the Missouri Department of Revenue is using technology to improve citizens' access to government by putting more government services online.
"Gov. Nixon has always been a proponent of innovation and making state government more efficient," said Alana Barragán-Scott, director of the Department of Revenue. "Many aspects of government businesses can be accomplished faster, cheaper, and easier when new technologies are embraced, all the while maintaining high quality service to the tax payers of Missouri."
From January 2009 to the present, the Department of Revenue has held the line on costs and emphasized convenience for Missouri citizens. For example:
- S-Corporation and business franchise tax returns can now be electronically filed through the Department's website.
- The Department's online license plate renewal system (plates.mo.gov) was rebranded and overhauled to make it more customer-friendly. Use of this popular online system has increased more than 2½ times from Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2010.
- Citizens can now register their change of addresses on the Department's website instead of mailing in a form or making an in-person visit to the Department.
In addition to these e-government innovations, the Department was also able to save nearly $700,000 by discontinuing printing and mailing certain forms, reducing the size of some printed forms, converting some forms to an electronic format, and reducing postage costs.
The Department is taking advantage of technology to achieve internal efficiencies as well. For example, the Department has developed its own web-based seminars ("webinars") to provide training to its employees at their desks, saving the cost of employee travel and of paying vendors for programs. Through the use of webinars, the Department has provided more than 1,300 hours of professional and technical skills training and more than 400 hours of other types of employee training, such as confidentiality refreshers.
"I'm a big believer in embracing new technology," Barragán-Scott said. "The Department applied this philosophy when redesigning our website, which now provides easier access to our most popular forms and highlights our most popular online services. And we'll continue to look for ways to achieve cost savings and efficiencies with the use of technology."
The Missouri Department of Revenue is now on Twitter! To follow the Department on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/MoRevenue.

Spectacular Daily Revenue of Clash of Clans
These days, the boom of mobile gaming has brought a breakthrough in the technology market as it has churned out to be a significantly affluent business globally on the digital platform. Analysts have recorded magnificent business revenues in the mobile gaming world that has changed the faces of many developers. One such developer is Supercell.
It was really awesome when the hot news hit the headlines; the superb developer has made $5.15 million as single day revenue. The data was fetched from the internal sales team via a hacker this week. Any spy with having paramount ethical expertise leaked the data, compromising the security of the Facebook accounts of the users in the company and later circulated the developer images of sales figures and internal audience.
According to the snapshots from Re/code, the developer with its most remarkable developments like Clash of Clans, Hay Day, and Boom Beach all together generated revenue of $5.15 million with 29.4 million active users on February 7. It was later revealed that the hack was due to sort of retribution. As per the hacker, he warned the developer about the security threat but they did not pay any attention and so he taught them a lesson by leaking their data.
Later, it was investigated and found that the hack was successful as Ethical Spectrum got access to the internal network and penetrated into the social media tool called Engagor. As per the CEO of Engagor, their app is to manage Supercell's Facebook Pages and the app lost control. When the attack was alerted, the Engagor authorities shut down the account in few minutes and most surprisingly it lost its own security standards.
After all, the hack created a high alert among all the companies operating in the digital platform and raised enormous questions on the security standards of so-called business tycoons. The data may be a pride, but again what would have happened if some vital and classified information had been hacked having high importance for the company.
Just after the attack, Ethical Spectrum tweeted a snapshot of an email sent by the CEO of Supercell to its employees, stating not to comment mush on the attack and continue their job normally. However, the attack may be a crucial one, but it also leaked a crucial data of pride. The CEO also added saying that if we think of the hack the whole day then certainly we are physiologically defeated by the hacker.
With the dawn of advanced technology on the mobile platform, the threats are also boosting on technology aspects. So, whether it's a success in other hand or loss in the other, such questions have puzzled the technical master minds on the planet. However, it's time to celebrate the success of mobile platform and think of the positive aspects only.

Your Betting Guide to the 2011 Nobel Prize in Literature
The world's premier gambling event, the announcement of the Nobel Prize in Literature, happens on Thursday. Who's gonna win? Bob Dylan? (No.) Here are your betting odds!
The top 10 contenders as of this morning, according to international oddsmakers Ladbrokes, are:
Adonis (Syria): 4/1
Tomas Tranströmer (Sweden): 7/1
Haruki Murakami (Japan): 8/1
Bob Dylan (U.S.): 10/1
Assia Djebar (Algeria): 12/1
Peter Nadas (Hungary): 12/1
Ko Un (South Korea): 14/1
Les Murray (Australia): 16/1
Thomas Pynchon (U.S.): 20/1
Philip Roth (U.S.): 20/1
Nuruddin Farah (Somalia): 20/1
(If you've heard of many more than half of those people, you are more well-read than us.)
The New Yorker says Syrian poet Ali Ahmad Said Asar is the safe bet in part because "his selection could be seen as a nod of solidarity to the Arab Spring." Then there's Bob Dylan, who is definitely not going to win the Nobel Prize, but wouldn't it be such a smack in the face to all these serious novelists and poets if he did? It's like, you may as well give it to the writers of Arrested Development.
The Complete Review, which each year produces insanely exhaustive predictions, offers this more general hint:
The 6 October announcement date — the earliest possible — suggest an 'easy' decision, i.e. agreement was presumably reached fairly easily (since there wasn't extended debate), which I would suggest means the choice is not a very controversial one — i.e. more likely, say, Amos Oz than Peter Handke.
So, go bet all of your money on Amos Oz, who has been given 25-1 odds by Ladbrokes. Slim odds, but last year's winner,
Portuguese Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa was just as much of a longshot and wasn't even included in Ladbrokes' top 10.

Vol. 193 Web "Only" Ads
I do kind of like how you can click an ad and see it all by its lonesome. Although I'm not 100% sure what practical utility this function might have. But I thought I'd try to mention a positive instead of complaining all the time.

The mobile version of the site doesn't scroll (it doesn't have a scroll bar and everything below the frame is inaccessible), so seeing one at a time is key in that mode. Newest first would be better, at least as a viewing option.
- February 29, 2012 at 9:18 AM
Frankly I thought it would have been more useful if the link just took you down the page to the ad's location on the full list. But this is far from being one of the top issues/problems with the JFP. So I'm letting it slide.
- February 29, 2012 at 9:34 AM
That's probably to make it easier to identify a specific ad.--you can use a URL instead of quoting or describing.
- February 29, 2012 at 9:54 AM
9:54: Yeah, but being able to identify a specific ad with a URL is kind of pointless if you have to log in before the URL will work.

I think I'm done with philosophy. Just can't take this anymore. Plus I don't even think I'm good at it anymore. Later.

I wish they would implement an RSS feed. Would they even know what I was talking about if I asked them?
Also, how come the phylo jobs wiki doesn't have an RSS feed? The job listings has an RSS.
Also, I want a job dammit! Is it typical to get an interview and to wait over a month to hear anything back?
- March 1, 2012 at 8:58 AM
Anon 8:58--
Based on my experience on two search committees (an admittedly small sample), I don't think it's unusual to wait a month to hear from the department that interviewed you. They may have had more candidates to bring to campus after your visit, and, depending on schedules, those may have taken several weeks. They also may need to run background checks and/or consult references before making a decision. They may have had a hard time getting their faculty together to discuss the on-campus visits. They may, frankly, have decided that you are hireable but only their third choice, and they're waiting to hear back from the top two candidates before extending you an offer or informing you that you're out of the running.
For what it's worth, good luck!
- March 1, 2012 at 10:02 AM
Thanks for the helpful feedback!
My situation is less optimistic, as I'm waiting after a first round interview, to hear about a campus visit. But I will definitely keep all those factors in mind.
- March 1, 2012 at 11:28 AM
8:58/11:28: Check the wiki (http://phylo.info/jobs/wiki). If the wiki indicates that they've scheduled on-campus interviews, then you can reasonably conclude that you weren't in the first group of on-campus interviewees. If the wiki does not indicate that they've scheduled on-campus interviews, then maybe there is still hope. In my own experience, after a first-round interview, the interviewers will usually not contact me at all unless they want to invite me for an on-campus visit. So, if you weren't selected for an on-campus interview, you might just never hear anything from them again.

Speaking of the JFP on the APA site, they seem to have hidden it again. Instead of following the intuitive procedure of clicking on 'resources' and then 'member resources' (or was it the other way around?), now you have to click on 'members only' and then 'publications'. Even if you are logged on as a member, it is not listed under the 'publications' link from the main page.
- March 2, 2012 at 9:29 AM
This APA website is just absurd. I'm too tired to make fun of it anymore. It just sucks period. I'm starting to wonder if it is part of some kind of malicious government psychology experiment to track how long reasonably smart people will follow something that is completely stupid before they give up. Oh, I guess the job market might be a malicious government experiment as well.
- March 2, 2012 at 11:09 AM
Last September I attempted to renew my APA membership. I filled out the form with the boxes you write your credit card number in and snail mailed it to them like its 1994.
About three weeks ago I got a letter from them saying that my credit card "could not be processed," and thus my membership had lapsed.
I use the stupid card every day so either I wrote the numbers in wrong or one of their idiot employees screwed it up.
Either way, it took them six months to inform me of a problem that, were it an online transaction, I would have known about and corrected instantly.
So I had to have a friend email me the new JFP, which was actually a lot easier than wasting an afternoon trying to find it on their website.
I'm not even going to bother trying to renew my membership again. If I have interviews at the Eastern next January, I'll just crash the fucker.
- March 2, 2012 at 12:20 PM
Same problems with getting a membership... would you please upload somewhere a pdf with the latest JFP?
- March 3, 2012 at 7:47 PM
I now can't even find the JFP nor the "web-only" section on the website. I am logged in but the "resources" tab is gone.
Seriously, wtf?
[de not sos mi]
- March 4, 2012 at 7:49 AM
They changed it. Now you have to log in, then click "Members Only", then click "Publications" on the left hand side.
Amazing bullshit on this "website". I hate the goddamn APA.
- March 4, 2012 at 9:36 AM
Thread derailment:
"This paper is competent, and while it wouldn't be horrible to publish in [top-20 journal], I don't recommend publishing it. The author gives reasons to prefer one version of [thesis X] over another, given the framework of [view Y], but the reasons aren't that strong or exciting. Normally I have helpful comments for the author, but not in the case, because the paper is simply competent but lackluster."
Next time, I strongly recommend the editor just give me a "reject without comments". Jesus.
- March 6, 2012 at 2:58 PM
My favorite journal rejections are those in which it's obvious that the reviewer never bothered to read your paper at all.
Recently I submitted a paper to the top journal in my AOS. I wasn't expecting it to be accepted, but the reviewer comments were maddening.
He complained that I never cited the most recent paper on the subject, even though I did—repeatedly.
He complained that I falsely asserted X, even though I stridently argued not-X.
He complained that I misinterpreted a quote from philosopher Y by failing to understand the context of his remark in terms of the larger argument of book Z, even though (as evident from the citation) the quote was not from Z, but from an entirely different book.
He complained that another quote inaccurately translated a particular Latin word, even though the original was in French not Latin, and the translation was not my own but the scholarly standard required by the journal itself.
It went on and on like that.
I used to bitch about the hand-waving impossible to defend against reasons typically offered for rejecting a paper. But to have a paper rejected for very specific reasons that are complete and total horseshit is vastly more annoying.
- March 6, 2012 at 5:07 PM
maybe i'm missing something, but is the APA site all but completely broken now? none of the nav bar links work. i can't really leave the home page. as far as i can tell, there's no way of finding the job ads.
- March 7, 2012 at 11:00 AM
"I wanted to let you know that our decision-making process regarding ontologist positions has temporarily slowed. Your application remains active, and we appreciate your interest in opportunities with Cycorp."
I guess this is still a possibility. This was probably sent to everyone that applied...
- March 7, 2012 at 11:09 AM
11:00, I think there is some browser-specific problem. With Safari it's a total mess, but with Firefox it works fine. (I mean, it works as it was designed to work.)
- March 7, 2012 at 2:11 PM
And what the heck is the problem with making the JFP still something you can copy and paste, something absolutely necessary to jump through the placement service hoops in my little world?
Besides, I did the search, and it just barfed up everthing listed on the most recent JFP. Not helpful.
- March 7, 2012 at 2:52 PM
For the life of me, I can't find the JFP, and I've used Firefox and Safari and followed the instructions people have given.
David Schrader is the executive director of the APA. Isn't it time we call for his dismissal? Not merely because of the website, of course, but for the myriad reasons of which everyone is well aware.
I don't know David Schrader - maybe he's a nice guy. But he can't do the job, and he needs to go.
- March 7, 2012 at 11:21 PM
11:21, huh, I have no trouble. I log in, I go to the Members Only section, I click Publications.
Also: David Schrader has already tendered his retirement, effective October 2 of this year.
- March 8, 2012 at 6:42 AM
I currently see no links to the JFP pdfs; they're just blue text. There are links to the web-onlys, but that's it. Is anyone else having this problem?
- March 8, 2012 at 8:08 AM
Instead of clicking on 'Members Only Expand Members Only' (that's literally what it says right now) in the blue toolbar at the top, you should click on 'Members Only' at the very top right hand corner of the page (above the search box). It's easier that way. Once you click on that 'Members Only' link you will have the option to choose 'Publications.' That's where the JFP is.
- March 8, 2012 at 8:10 AM
8:10, that's the feature (bug) that's browser-specific for me. When I use Safari I get that strange line of nonsense-looking headers (real words but don't seem to mean anything), but in Firefox it looks normal, presumably as intended.
- March 8, 2012 at 9:07 AM
5:07 p.m. - did you complain to the editor? A good editor would send such a case out to another referee.
- March 8, 2012 at 2:15 PM
@9:07, Thanks. I'll use Firefox from now on.
- March 8, 2012 at 3:06 PM
Yeah I complained and even hoped that my paper would be reviewed again as the editor was also the author of the paper the reviewer falsely accused my of ignoring...so I figured he might be embarrassed by the cock-up.
But alas, he responded that the my paper was rejected in the "initial review" process which was necessarily cursory and thus it was unbecoming of me to expect an exacting analysis, etc.
How that rebuts my complaints was rather unclear; but instead of continuing to press the point, I just dropped it and resolved to never submit a paper to that journal again.
- March 8, 2012 at 5:40 PM
re: accessing jfp: what does it mean if the link to 'publications' doesn't show up under either "members only" link?
- March 10, 2012 at 11:22 AM
11:22, it means you should change browsers. (See 9:07.)
- March 10, 2012 at 3:14 PM
11:22 here - but i am using firefox.
maybe as a member i just no longer exist. that would make a lot of sense, actually.
- March 10, 2012 at 6:18 PM
I think they need to hire someone to run the job website who has been through all this recently and so knows how frustrating all this is. Preferably someone who doesn't already have a full time academic appointment. It probably wouldn't be a full time job, but it might supplement crappy adjunct pay.

Taking a Dip in The Online Stream
Classical Music Makes A Play for Web Crowd
By Anne Midgette
Of all European summer music festivals, the Bayreuth Festival may be the hardest ticket. Devoted to the operas of Richard Wagner, presented in the theater that he built, it receives so many requests for its two-month season that people wait for years to get in. Last Sunday saw the first performance this year of "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg" as produced by Katharina Wagner, the composer's great-granddaughter.
Last year, it was the talk of the season among those who had managed to see it. This year, it could be experienced live on your home computer.
For if you don't travel to Europe's festivals this summer, some of them will come to you. If the 49 euros (almost $80) that Bayreuth charged to log on to its first-ever live video transmission was too steep, you could go to the Web site Medici.tv, which this summer has featured live broadcasts from three festivals: Aix-en-Provence, Aspen and Verbier. That same afternoon, free of charge, it was offering a live webcast from Verbier of a chamber concert with violinist Julian Rachlin, cellist Mischa Maïsky and pianists Piotr Anderszewski and Nikolai Lugansky, among others.
Does anybody actually want to watch classical concerts on their computer screens? Evidently, yes. Last year, Medici.tv reached 150,000 unique viewers with its broadcasts from Verbier, according to Medici.tv's founder and director, Hervé Boissière. This year, he says, the numbers are even better. (Check the Medici.tv website for information on web cast availability.)

Aviva Premiership
Mitchell expected at Sale "in the next 48 to 72 hours"

November 17, 2012
Former All Blacks coach John Mitchell will soon join Premiership side Sale according to chief executive Steve Diamond © Getty Images
Sale chief executive Steve Diamond expects to be able to confirm the appointment of coach John Mitchell "in the next 48 to 72 hours".
Speaking in the wake of the Sharks' Anglo-Welsh Cup victory over Saracens on Friday night, Diamond revealed that Mitchell was in the process of negotiating his exit from the Johannesburg-based Lions.
Mitchell was suspended by the Golden Lions Rugby Union earlier this year following allegations of misconduct but having recently been cleared of those charges, the New Zealander then announced his intention to re-join the South African side and reportedly resumed work this week.
However, it appears the Mitchell, who served as a consultant with the Sharks earlier this season and has also been confirmed as a member of the club's 'rugby strategy management board', will soon be unveiled at the Salford City Stadium.
"John's negotiating his way out in South Africa and he's set to join us in the next 48 to 72 hours," said Diamond.

DURHAM — A group of University of New Hampshire students plans to collect human urine as part of a research project aimed at diverting liquid waste from treatment plants and instead using it as fertilizer.
DURHAM — A group of University of New Hampshire students plans to collect human urine as part of a research project aimed at diverting liquid waste from treatment plants and instead using it as fertilizer.
With the town of Durham as a client, the foursome of whiz kids plans to roll out a urine-collection vehicle on March 20 as part of a serious senior project that's inviting jokes along the way. For example, the project has earned UNH senior Taylor Walter the nickname "Queen Pee" from her parents.
A student of Nancy Kinner, UNH professor of civil and environmental engineering, Walter learned that peak time for nitrogen in Durham's waste treatment stream occurs Thursday through Saturday nights, when the student population is consuming extra liquid beverages.
"Eighty percent of the nitrogen going to the treatment plant is human urine," Walter said.
Diverting that 80 percent from the plant would reduce town costs, as well as aid in protecting the Oyster River and Great Bay, she said.
To that end, the students plan to collect student urine in donated plastic bins that will be housed in a shed and towed on a trailer to a downtown Durham parking lot.
"We want to deal with all the liquid," said Adam Carignan, a UNH senior majoring in environmental engineering.
"We need urine, and they have it," said student Elizabeth McCrary.
"It's not only helping the environment, it's helping students," echoed Packhem.
The "pee bus" will debut March 20 in a lot at Garrison Road and Strafford Avenue, from 9 p.m. until 1 a.m.
The research students will be there educating the public about their project and aim to collect 264 gallons of urine during the first round.
Once collected, the urine will be stored at a Durham public works facility for several months to kill pathogens. Alyson Packhem, another UNH environmental engineering student, said granular carbon on the mobile urine collecting vehicle will control odor.
"Pee-pare yourself," she joked.
"Urine luck," McCrary added.
Walter said several landowners have volunteered to have the seasoned urine dispersed on their fields after the students receive a Department of Environmental Protection research permit.
By summer, the students hope to apply the urine to farm fields and see how it acts as a fertilizer, McCrary said.
As the senior project progresses, the students have been working with staff from UNH and Durham, Walter said.
Looking ahead, they're thinking about related innovations that could earn them patents, including an add-on to collect and recycle urine inside portable toilets.
They also plan to tow their urine-collecting shed to football games, outdoor concerts and a UNH "Solar Fest" in April.
"We want to put toilet talk back on the table," McCrary said.
