KARST - Introduction
Throughout the world karst landscapes vary from rolling hills dotted with sinkholes, as found in portions of the central United States, to jagged hills and pinnacle karst found in the tropics. The development of all karst landforms requires the presence of rock which is capable of being dissolved by surface water or ground water.
The term karst describes a distinctive topography that indicates dissolution (also called chemical solution) of underlying soluble rocks by surface water or ground water. Although commonly associated with carbonate rocks (limestone and dolomite) other highly soluble rocks such as evaporates (gypsum and rock salt) can be sculpted into karst terrain.
Understanding caves and karst is important because ten percent of the Earth's surface is occupied by karst landscape and as much as a quarter of the world's population depends upon water supplied from karst areas. Though most abundant in humid regions where carbonate rock is present, karst terrain occurs in temperate, tropical, alpine and polar environments. Karst features range in scale from microscopic (chemical precipitates) to entire drainage systems and ecosystems which cover hundreds of square miles, and broad karst plateaus.
Although karst processes sculpt beautiful landscapes, karst systems are very vulnerable to ground water pollution due to the relatively rapid rate of water flow and the lack of a natural filtration system. This puts local drinking water supplies at risk of being contaminated. In the mid 1980's, flooding of caves in the highly populated area of Bowling Green, Kentucky, caused industrial waste to leak into the vast system of underground fissures polluting the ground water in local wells. Due to urban expansion millions of dollars is spent annually in the United States to repair damage to roads, buildings and other structures which are built on unstable karst surfaces.
Karst Topography
The degree of development of karst landforms varies greatly from region to region. Large drainage systems in karst areas are likely to have both fluvial (surface) and karst (underground) drainage components. As stated in the introduction, the term karst describes a distinctive topography that indicates dissolution of underlying rocks by surface water or ground water.
Water falls as rain or snow and soaks into the soil. The water becomes weakly acidic because it reacts chemically with carbon dioxide that occurs naturally in the atmosphere and the soil. This acid is named carbonic acid and is the same compound that makes carbonated beverages taste tangy. Rainwater seeps downward through the soil and through fractures in the rock responding to the force of gravity. The carbonic acid in the moving ground water dissolves the bedrock along the surfaces of joints, fractures and bedding planes, eventually forming cave passages and caverns.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock consisting primarily of calcium carbonate in the form of the mineral calcite. Rainwater dissolves the limestone by the following reaction: Calcite + Carbonic acid = Calcium ions dissolved in ground water + Bicarbonate ions dissolved in ground water.
Cracks and joints that interconnect in the soil and bedrock allow the water to reach a zone below the surface of the land where all the fractures and void spaces are completely filled (also known as saturated) with water. This water-rich zone is called the saturated zone and its upper surface is called the water table. The volume of void space (space filled with air or water) in soil or bedrock is termed porosity. The larger the proportion of voids in a given volume of soil or rock the greater the porosity. When these voids are interconnected, water or air (or other fluids) can migrate from void to void. Thus the soil or bedrock is said to be permeable because fluids (air and water) can easily move through them. Permeable bedrock makes a good aquifer, a rock layer that holds and conducts water. If the ground water that flows through the underlying permeable bedrock is acidic and the bedrock is soluble, a distinctive type of topography, karst topography, can be created.
The first part of our animation shows evolution of karst landforms created by downward movement of water accompanied by dissolution of rock and mass transport of sediments in stream channels. In tropical areas with thick massive limestones, a remarkable and distinctive landscape of jagged hills and narrow gorges completely dominates the landscape. Movement of solution along fractures and joints etches the bedrock and leaves limestone blocks as isolated spires or pinnacles. Pinnacles range from small features a few inches tall to intermediate forms a few feet tall to large pinnacles hundreds of feet tall. Besides the etching of pinnacles and residual hills, sheets of flowing water move down sloping surfaces creating a variety of etched surface features. Our computer animation shows the dominant landforms, such as pinnacles, cones, and towers, commonly found in the tropical karst environment of northern Puerto Rico.
Our paper model represents another type of karst landscape, that of a rolling limestone plain such as is found in south-central Kentucky, northern Florida, and the Highland Rim of central Tennessee where doline karst is the dominate feature. Doline karst is the most widely distributed type of karst landscape. The landscape is dotted with sinkholes (dolines) which can vary widely in number and size. For the Sinkhole Plain in central Kentucky, there are approximately 5.4 sinkholes per square kilometer over a 153 square kilometer area. For north Florida there are almost 8 sinkholes per square kilometer over a 427 square kilometer area (White, 1988, table 4.1, page 100).
Karst topography dominated by sinkholes or dolines usually has several distinct surface features. Our paper model shows features normally associated with karst topography. Sinkholes (also known as dolines) are surface depressions formed by either: 1) the dissolution of bedrock forming a bowl-shaped depression, or 2) the collapse of shallow caves that were formed by dissolution of the bedrock. These sinkholes or shallow basins may fill with water forming lakes or ponds. Springs are locations where ground water emerges at the surface of the earth. Disappearing streams are streams which terminate abruptly by flowing or seeping into the ground. Disappearing streams are evidence of disrupted surface drainage and thus indicate the presence of an underground drainage system. Cave entrances are natural openings in the earth large enough to allow a person to enter. Caves may reflect a complex underground drainage system.

What do Caves Contain?
Moving water may transport earth materials into and through caves physically or chemically. Caves contain interesting features as a result of the physical and chemical processes that form them. Among these features are breakdown blocks of rock formed by collapse of cave ceilings. Also seen are sediments containing boulders, sand, silt, and clay deposited from water flowing in and through cave passages and conduits. Speleogens are irregular or distinctive shapes of carbonate rock etched from bedrock by dripping or running water. Speleogens can form where bedrock is not uniform in chemical composition. Consequently, the less soluble rock dissolves slower than adjacent more soluble rock through time. The less soluble rock tends to stand in relief and projects from walls and ceilings of caves.
Away from their entrances, caves usually provide a relatively constant temperature and humidity over a long period of time. Thus, caves provide an ideal environment for chemical deposition of minerals. As water laden with dissolved carbonate seeps into the air-filled cave passage, it may lose excess carbon dioxide to the cave atmosphere, or the water itself may evaporate, causing the dripwater to precipitate secondary carbonate or other minerals from solution, creating cave formations or speleothems including cone-shaped stalactites , stalagmites , flowstone or rimstone, or other interesting shapes. Caves in karst areas often have stalactites (icicle-like masses of chemical limestone) that hang from cave ceilings and stout stalagmites protruding from the cave floor. Stalactites and stalagmites can be a few inches to several feet long. Sometimes the drip water will flow down the walls and over the cave floor creating flowstone or rimstone deposits. Where drip water seeps from a joint and then drips over the edges of ledges, deposits of great complexity known as draperies are formed. The color of dripstones and flowstones comes from organic and/or iron oxide compounds brought in from the surface, giving the speleothems an orange brown color or from the presence of oxides and hydroxides of iron and manganese which give the speleothems a deep brown or black color.
What Lives Underground?
Some scientists are interested in cave ecology and how cave animals interact with cave microclimates. Animals found in caves include everything from surface dwelling animals like raccoons that occasionally use the cave, to animals that have adapted exclusively to life in the cave (troglobites) . Troglobites cannot survive outside caves. These may include such diverse animals as eyeless fish and crayfish, cave beetles, flatworms, and other unusual types of insects. Many of these animals have lost body pigmentation and are white or transparent in color. Although the cave environment appears to be stable, change can and does occur. The temperature of the cave varies due to air movement near the entrances and the temperature of water entering the cave. In reality, some caves have their own weather systems which create wind due to temperature and pressure differences between the entrance and interior passageways.
Many animals, such as bats, cave crickets, and pack rats, regularly visit, raise their young, or hibernate in caves. These animals are called trogloxenes . Caves may support large numbers of different types of bats. Bats may be among the most beneficial animals to people and the ecosystem as insect-eaters and plant pollinators. The little brown bat can eat 600 mosquitoes in an hour thus performing the work of a "natural insecticide," helping control crop pests and other insects. The Mammoth Cave-Flint Ridge System in Kentucky, which is the most extensive cave system in the world, has a biodiversity of 43 mammals, 15 reptiles, 19 amphibians and 3 fish. In 1981, the United Nations designated Mammoth Cave National Park as a World Heritage Site. An excellent summary of the Mammoth Cave area and other caves found in the U. S. National Park System can be found on the World Wide Web at: http://www2.nature.nps.gov/grd/tour/caves.htm.
In 1988 the United States passed the Federal Cave Resource Protection Act which preserves and protects all significant caves found on federal land for future generations of Americans.
What's in it for Me?
Knowing where karst features are located could help city and town planners, as well as individual landowners, to make decisions on where to build houses and other structures. This information could save cities thousand of dollars in repairs to buildings that are built on unstable karst terrain.
Karst springs supply drinking water to millions of people. Knowledge of karst terrain and the movement of water in underground drainage systems is important for maintaining good quality and safe drinking water. Pollution of ground water is a major problem in karst terrain.
Caves provide a venue for recreation. Although most of the caves located in National Parks are protected, there are over 200 commercial show caves nationwide which are open to the public. Recreational caving has become a popular hobby. The National Speleological Society has about 20,000 active affiliates nationwide.
Deposits preserved in caves can tell geologists about past climates. Fossils and artifacts found in caves help geologists and archaeologists unravel the prehistory of an area.
Caves support a unique community of bacteria, fungi and animals not seen on the surface of the Earth.
Breakdown - An underground rock fall. Blocks of rock become detached from the roof of the cave. The accumulation produces a series of rough angular rock fragments scattered on the cave floor.
Carbonate rocks - Sedimentary rocks composed mainly of calcium carbonate.
Carbonic acid - A mild acid formed when water and carbon dioxide chemically combine in the atmosphere and soil.
Cave - A natural opening in rock large enough to be entered by man and extending to points where daylight does not penetrate.
Cave system - A cave or caves having a complex network of interconnected chambers and passages that constitute an underground drainage system.
Disappearing streams - In karst areas, streams often disappear into the ground usually at a sinkhole.
Dissolution (also called chemical solution) - The process of chemical weathering of bedrock in which the combination of water and acid slowly removes mineral compounds from solid bedrock and carries them away in liquid solution.
Dolines (also known as sinkholes) - A closed surface depression draining underground in karst landscape. Dolines are usually "bowl-shaped" and can be a few to many hundreds of meters in diameter.
Flowstone - A general term referring to a deposit formed from thin films or trickles of water, the minerals are usually calcium carbonate and encrust floors or walls.
Fluvial - Pertaining to a river or rivers.
Ground water - Water below the level at which all voids in the rock are completely filled with water.
Karst - A distinctive topography that indicates dissolution of underlying soluble rocks by surface water or ground water.
Microclimate - The climate (temperature, humidity, air flow) of a local or confined area such as part of a cave.
Permeability - The property of rock or soil that permits water to pass by flowing through interconnected voids (spaces). Permeable bedrock makes a good aquifer, a rock layer that yields water to wells.
Porosity - The volume of void space (space filled with air or water) in soil or bedrock. When these voids are interconnected, water or air (or other fluids) can migrate from void to void. Thus interconnected pores make the soil or bedrock permeable.
Sinkholes (also known as dolines) - A closed surface depression draining underground in karst landscape. Sinkholes are often "bowl-shaped" and can be a few to many hundreds of meters in diameter.
Speleology - The exploration and study of caves.
Speleothems - A deposit, usually calcium carbonate, formed in caves by chemical precipitation from drips or thin films of water. Common speleothem forms are: Stalactite: which hangs downwards from a roof or wall of a cave and Stalagmite: which projects vertically upwards from a cave floor.
Stalactite - See speleothems (above).
Stalagmite - See speleothems (above).
Spring - A spring or resurgence is the point where ground water reappears at the earth's surface and begins flowing downhill as a surface stream. The opposite of a sinking stream.
Troglobites ("cave dwellers") - These animals can only complete their life cycle in caves and typically exhibit adaptations to the totally dark cave environment, including low metabolism, unpigmented skin, long feelers or pedipalps, and loss of eyes in adult forms.
Trogloxene - An animal which spends only part of its life cycle in caves, such as a bat.
Water table - The surface between the zone of pure saturation and zone of pure aeration underground.

Fundamental Concepts
"SCIENTIFIC LITERACY FOR ALL STUDENTS is a National goal. The National Science Education Standards are a contribution toward achieving that goal." (Draft, November 1994, National Science Education Standards, prepared by the National Research Council, National Academy of Science)
After building this model and reading the text all students should have developed a basic understanding of the following fundamental concepts of Earth and Space Science as recommended in the National Science Education Standards. Some of these concepts for grades 5-8 and 9-12 are:
Grades 5 - 8
+ The Earth processes we see at work today are similar to those that operated in the past.
+ Animals have adapted to unique environments.
Grades 9 - 12
+ Creativity, imagination, and a good knowledge base are all required in the work of science and engineering.
+ Human activities can enhance the potential for hazards. Students should understand the risks associated with natural and man-made hazards.
+ Humans use many natural systems as resources. Changing the natural system can affect the quality of resources humans use, i.e. drinking water pollution.
+ Each element moves among reservoirs in the solid Earth. Understanding chemical reactions and geochemical cycles is important for maintaining the health of natural environments.

Former county prosecutor caught shoplifting, again
A former Douglas County prosecutor found herself in trouble with the law again.
Pam Dahlquist has had multiple shoplifting arrests in less than a year. Police said she shoplifted at Westroads Mall this week after she bonded out of jail on a separate charge days before.
Police said the 55-year-old tried to steal $500 worth of clothes at Von Maur on Monday.
According to court records, she was arrested in December when she was caught stealing $521 worth of clothes and tote bags at Canfield's Sporting Goods near 84th and Center streets.
On Oct. 15, Dahlquist pleaded not guilty to another felony arrest at Kohl's. She was also convicted on two other shoplifting charges in April.
Dahlquist has been arrested six times with five charges.
Douglas County mental health expert Jeri Schaben said research shows most shoplifters do what they do out of addiction.
For the last two years, Schaben has been trying to help people like Dahlquist. She runs Douglas County's compulsive shoplifters anonymous meetings.
"This is a support group where people can come and talk about how they would like to quit shoplifting and just learning more about themselves and the reasons why they shoplift," Schaben said.
Schaben said in order for the program to work, the person needs to want to quit. He said for each time someone is caught, they could have shoplifted 30 to 40 times.
"I believe that one arrest is enough to know that there's a problem," Schaben said.
The group meets every Thursday at Alegent Creighton Health Bergan Mercy from 6-7 p.m.

This seems like a marketing ploy to me that tea drinkers can do without Celestial Seasonings and Random House's help. We have to buy their tea and Random's books...kinda reminds me of being a kid and wanting the certain cereal box for the "prize". Not convinced it will work.

Here's another reason, the Human Rights Campaign lists Celestial Seasonings as a company to avoid in their 2008 Buyer's Guide. They ranked low based on inadequate policies that support GLBT people.
Before I heard this I signed up for their book club. Now I'm planning to compost my Celestial Seasonings tea.

At the height of his career in the mid-1980s, he was a fresh representation of how a male pop singer could look, with his perfectly chiseled face, long curls, white T-shirt, black pegged pants, white ankle socks and black loafers. Reminiscent of a dancer's costume, the graphic black-and-white enhanced his unbelievable moves. That rhinestone-studded glove became his signature statement.
The power of his determinedly idiosyncratic style was amplified by MTV, which beamed "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" around the world and made him its first fashion icon. Teenagers wanted what he had, taking break-dance lessons and wearing pink bow ties and single rhinestone gloves to school.
The more his popularity soared, the more he dressed to impress. The red leather, zippers and Jheri curls of "Thriller" evolved into a more regal look that was in keeping with his reputation as the King of Pop. Embellished jackets became his uniform. Festooned with gold braiding, epaulets, brass buttons, even forks and knives, each one was more elaborate than the next, and they became a kind of symbol for the more-is-more fashion era.
In 1984, when Jackson was invited to the White House to receive an award from President Reagan, he wore a blue sequined cropped jacket with gold sequined epaulets, his signature glove, black loafers with spats and aviator sunglasses.
The men behind the Man in the Mirror were L.A.-based costume designers Michael Bush and Dennis Tompkins. They quietly designed most of Jackson's personal and concert tour wardrobes -- tens of thousands of pieces, many with military details -- working from a Michael mannequin in their studio that was built to the singer's exact measurements. The pop star's directive was always, "This is what the world's wearing -- top it," the designers said in 2005. And they tried. One jacket -- worn in a 1990 L.A. Gear ad campaign -- was black suede and covered in miniature gold license plates.
Costume designer Deborah Landis designed the iconic leather "Thriller" jacket, settling on the color after learning that "there would be a huge dance with ghouls, and the ghouls would be very ragged and coming from dust," she said recently. "So I thought, what would make Michael pop? I went through the palette and came up with red."
Jackson understood the power of costume on and off the stage -- and even in court. When he appeared at the Santa Maria courthouse in 2005 to face child molestation charges, his oddly styled get-ups (the famous pajama bottoms and armbands) created a template for a kind of kooky celeb-goes-on-trial look.
It was his face, though, that seemed to hold the most fascination for the public. The never-ending speculation about his rhinoplasties fueled a cultural obsession with plastic surgery as Jackson pursued an ideal of beauty that for him was always just out of reach.
It's almost as if the fashion industry knew it was time for a Jackson tribute. The pop singer's influence was everywhere on the runway this past season, in the crystal-dusted jackets at Balmain, Givenchy's gold-studded jackets and the sequined gloves at Louis Vuitton.
Swarovski had been tapped to bedazzle the costumes for Jackson's comeback tour beginning next month in London. It would have been a fashion spectacle for the ages.

Tokyo, Japan, November 3, 2010 - Poland improved to 3-2 in first-round play at the 2010 FIVB Women's World Championship after beating winless Algeria (25-17, 25-16, 25-12) who now return home. The win completed a good comeback for Poland after dropping their first two matches to Japan and Serbia and they now move into second-round action which kicks off on Saturday.Poland were led by their captain Aleksandra Jagielo and by Katarzyna Gajgal who each racked up 11 points. Standout players Anna Werblinska, Joanna Kaczor and Malgorzata Glinka-Mogentale were among those who rested. The trio of Zohra Bensalem, Faiza Tsabet and Lydia Oulmou all scored seven points each for Algeria.

Poland dominated from the start with solid play by Berenika Okuniewska who served up an early ace. She followed on the next point with a miraculous dig that set up a Jagielo spike to make it 8-2. They stayed comfortably in the lead as Jagielo drove home a spike to make it 16-8. A pair of attacks from Joanna Staniucha-Szczurek then gave Poland set-point, and they went on to take it 25-17 on a net serve by Tsabet.The teams started the second set tentatively with Joanna Wolosz posting a pair to put the Poles 8-7 up. Katarzyna Zaroslinska got in on the action with a spike that blew past blockers Boukhima and Oukazi Fatima Zahra. An outstanding block by Gajgal on Algerian standout Bensalem was one of eight unanswered points for Poland who extended their lead to 21-11. Wolosz closed the set with an emphatic ace, taking it 25-16.Poland cruised through the third set, taking a 10-point lead early on thanks to the fiery spiking of Karolina Kosek. Great serving by Okuniewska down the stretch helped them to set point, where Wolosz put it away 25-12 with a tip at the net.

Once upon a time, I was 14 years old at my friend's birthday party. Cookies and Cream ice cream had just arrived in New Zealand, and it was generally a very nice time having bowls of that with no real thoughts of boys or boyfriends to muddy the fun.
Suddenly, however, news spread that one of the guests was having quite a dramatic weep in the garden on the trampoline. 'What's the matter with her?' I asked one of the other girls (possibly a bit unkindly). 'Oh,' was the reply, 'it's because romance and love will never be like it was in the olden days, ever again. It really gets her down'.
HA! At the time I found that highly amusing. Beyond the occasional (and wildly adult-seeming) 7th former who caught my eye, boys hadn't really featured for me yet. What did I care if they arrived in horse and cart with love notes, or three hours' late, stoned and barely able to speak? (Actually, one of my very first dates was like that, and I can now say with some authority that horse and cart would have been the better option.)
Anyway: 16 years after that girl cried on the trampoline, as I researched olden-day Valentine's customs and nearly died several times of cute, I suddenly realised: Trampoline Weeper had a point! I don't know how she already knew, but there was a degree of innocence and propriety back then - 'then' being pre-iPhone times, obv - that will never return.
But if only it would! Old-fashioned-people's romantic traditions were so adorable I can hardly bear it, like when a puppy is So. Bloody. CUTE you get that urge to squeeze it with all your might or throttle its little neck or something. (This.)
So. In celebration of how things were (and completely ignoring the fact every era comes with its own pitfalls and stresses, etc), here are some very sweet Valentine's Day things from years and years ago that make me love all the old-fashioned people like they are my own:
Draw the Name!
By the early 1700s, "drawing names" was one way people came to merge mouths. Sort of like Keys in a Bowl, except way less evocative of sex-starved suburban parents with white socks and mustaches. It took place on Valentine's Day eve, as explained by Author Henry Bourne in his posh 1725 book Antiquities of the Common People:
It is a ceremony, never omitted among the Vulgar, to draw Lots which they Term Valentines, on the Eve before Valentine-day. The names of a select number of one sex, are by an equal number of the other put into some vessel; and after that, every one draws a name, which...is called their Valentine, and is also looked upon as a good omen of their being man and wife afterwards.
I like to think they all sat in a rose garden and blushed as they picked the name they'd crushed on forever, but probably it was like spin the bottle back in form 2 when you always got that boy in your class who smelt funny and ate his scabs.
Similarly, whichever lady the man got on his bit of paper, he had to take her around for a year and buy her gifts whether they liked each other or not. Bad luck! But lovely and polite, which is the point here.
Wear a heart on the sleeve!
If you were a 18th century lady, you might discover a man was mooney-eyed over you on Valentine's Day because suddenly, pinned to his sleeve, would appear a paper heart with your name on it. How convenient is that?!
Never mind that if a boy did that today you'd probably pass him off as some earnest hipster with a Frankie magazine subscription - back in the day it was completely legit, and led to the expression "To wear one's heart on one's sleeve." Good.
Write a sweet thing!
In the mid 1800s, Valentine's cards came to be. Usually they were made of satin and lace and ornamented with flowers, ribbons, and images of fat cupids or birds. Here is a ditty from one that was printed in 1900:
If I've dreamed a dream from fairyland,
Be sure you have your part in it.
I pledge my word, I give my hand
With more than half my heart in it.
YES! Whoever you were, let us go and hang out in fairyland, that sounds charming.
Admittedly, others were a little presumptuous: Weddings now are all the go, Will you marry me or no? (1850.) And: Oh! Goody your [sic] going to give me your heart. (1920.)
The earliest recorded Valentine's verse was actually written by a Frenchman (of course it was) called Charles, Duke of Orleans, and the card sits in the British Museum.
He wrote it to his wife in the 1400s when he was locked up in the Tower of London for some reason and it says, in part: Je suis desja d'amour tanné
ma tres doulce Valentinée. Which translates as I am already sick of love, My very gentle valentine. (As in, lovesick. You thought 'Tired of love', didn't you. That's because you're from 2013.)
But it wasn't all nice...
It should be said there was also a dark undercurrent to Valentine's Day in the mid-1800s. An anti-Valentine's Day movement took root, manifesting in alternative and "comic" cards with messages that insulted and mocked outcasts like gays, unwed women and early feminists.
As detailed by author Leigh Eric Schmidt in his very interesting book Consumer Rites: The Buying & Selling of American Holidays, here is one such message, from 1850:
You ugly, cross, and wrinkled shrew,
You advocate of woman's rights,
No man on earth would live with you
For fear of endless fights
And another one, with the express aim of making ladies who hadn't found anyone yet feel like complete failures at life:
Oh what a very sorry sight it is,
to see an aged lady still a Miss,
to know that single she must live and work,
and in the end be toasted on a fork.
And for mouthy ladies in the public domain, who never shut up:
I send you this, as a warning, in time
To unscrew your long tongue, if you'd have a Valentine
Happy Valentine's Day everybody!

Zuckerberg group launches TV blitz
The Mark Zuckerberg-backed organization pressing for immigration reform will launch its first wave of television ads Tuesday, in a move aimed at shoring up support for a large-scale immigration deal on the right, strategists for the group told POLITICO.
FWD.us, the organization formed to push Silicon Valley's priorities in Washington, will advocate for a new immigration law through a subsidiary group created specifically to court conservatives. Americans for a Conservative Direction will spend seven figures to run ads in more than half a dozen states, according to strategists who sketched out the organization's plans.
Story Continued Below
The sales pitch leans heavily on clips of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio to make its case to skeptical Republican-leaning voters. The ad campaign is the first wave of advocacy advertising from FWD.us, and an early test of the group's ability to move the political debate.
( PHOTOS: 20 quotes on immigration reform)
The conservative-oriented FWD.us affiliate running the ads has assembled its own blue-chip board of advisers, including former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour; Sally Bradshaw, the former chief of staff to Jeb Bush; Dan Senor and Joel Kaplan, the former George W. Bush advisers; and Rob Jesmer, the former executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee who serves as the campaign manager for FWD.us.
Brian Walsh, the former NRSC communications director, is working closely with the group on communications and strategy.
In a statement, Jesmer said the TV offensive was aimed at giving air support to Republicans in Washington who have gone out on a limb to forge an immigration deal.
"Conservative leaders in Congress have put forward a bold plan with the toughest enforcement measures to secure our broken borders and hold those who have broken our laws accountable. Americans for a Conservative Direction is committed to supporting this effort as Congress gets to work on the real solutions that will fix our broken immigration system, secure our borders and help grow our economy," the GOP strategist said.
FWD.us, a registered not-for-profit, will also have an arm focused on reaching out to progressive and independent voters, dubbed the Council for American Job Growth. Both affiliate groups are incorporated as LLCs.
And while both entities will be funded through the FWD.us umbrella organization, strategists said they will have independent boards to shape their political activity.
In six states – Texas, Florida, Utah, North Carolina, Iowa and Kentucky – the Americans for a Conservative Direction commercials will feature clips of Rubio extolling the virtues of a tough-but-fair immigration compromise. Voters in a seventh state, South Carolina, will see 60-second ads praising the conservative credentials of Sen. Lindsey Graham, a top Republican advocate for immigration reform.

After a long, stealthy, super-hushed wait, the wraps have finally been taken off Airtime, the video chat application from former Napster co-founders Sean Parker and Shawn Fanning. The Internet got the briefest of brief peeks at Airtime back in March, and everyone loosely following the story has known it's a video chat service of some sort for awhile.
Now it's up and running, just like the combination of Facebook and Chatroulette we thought it would be. Airtime connects with your Facebook account, finds and activates your webcam, then throws you into its sleek chat interface. On the right-hand side of your screen is your friends list, and you can text or video chat with them.
Airtime pulls in your Facebook information, which is displayed below video of you. All of your "likes" have been translated into "interests," clickable terms that you can use to find people to chat with if you so choose. Clicking these interests reveals a prompt to "find people who like this." If you hit that, Airtime will start dialing for you. You can also choose between trending topics for random dialing, or stick to people who are nearby, have common interests, or are friends of friends. Airtime also lets you share videos to watch together
It's very much like if Chatroulette if Chartoulette had done things right, or if were just founded today. The site experienced a quick, meteoric, and meme-filled beginning, only to fade into the background thanks to the rise of Facebook for social, Skype for chatting, and its unavoidable "penis problem."
Airtime is a much more sophisticated, fully-featured client than Chatroulette, and it will rely on its connection to Facebook to kill the aforementioned penis problem that hurt Chatroulette. It's an idea that many new connection-focused apps are based their networks on: Facebook uses real identities, real names, and peoples' lives are very much represented there. Because of this, people hold themselves to a higher standard; they are more traceable and real than if they are just anonymously trolling video chat rooms at no expense to their name.
Of course it's worth noting that Facebook isn't exempt from fake name syndrome – and there are always people who will throw caution to the wind and ruin their good name in the spirit of video chat exhibitionism. You can't ever entirely get rid of the creepy factor with this type of thing, you can only best prepare for it.
Where Airtime really proves its use isn't by connecting strangers, but rather with its implementation of the interest graph. Plenty of applications have tried to grab all the data you've created on Facebook and use it in some compelling way to connect you to like-minded people. Airtime actually does that – I mean, actively does that. You don't have to create a section of topics, it's done for you (although you can edit if you want). Then, you literally just click and call and you're connected to someone who shares that interest – and possibly others. You will be notified if they have more in common with you.
The biggest question I have about Airtime is "do people want this?" Facebook has built-in video chat, and Skype's popularity persists. There are a handful of well-used apps that connect people based on their interests, just sans video. Do we want real-time, video chat with people we don't or hardly know? The idea is that even though we're all so connected through Facebook, so much separation still exists – or maybe even exists because of it. Parker and Fanning want to cut through the pretense and make connecting more action-oriented.
In my brief hands-on time, all video calling worked sufficiently. I connected with a handful of strangers who I shared interests with, as well as video-called my own friends. The star-studded Airtime demo launch (featuring famous people!) apparently experienced a few technical difficulties, but my Airtime time was nothing but smooth sailing.
Social video, in all its many shapes and forms, is becoming an increasingly hot commodity. Airtime might manage to strike a cord with a service that's both compelling and actually works.

This summer, AAA is hosting two interns: Melissa Campbell-McIntosh and Juliana Bennington. In this blog post, Melissa shares her feelings about her first week in Washington, DC.
Hi, my name is Melissa and I am one of the two interns selected to work for the American Anthropological Association (AAA) this summer. I would like to start by briefly introducing myself. I am entering into my senior year at Saint Mary's College of California in Moraga, CA, located in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area. My major is Anthropology with a concentration in Archaeology. I am particularly interested in Maritime Archaeology, Collections Management, and Cultural Resource Management. I have worked for the past two years as an assistant to the Archivist at my school. This has allowed me to apply my scholarly interests in a practical setting.
Once I heard of the internship being offered by the AAA in partnership with the Underwater Archaeology Branch (UAB) of the Naval History & Heritage Command (NHHC), I knew I had to apply. I was confident that I was well qualified for this opportunity; however, I was not going to allow myself to get my hopes up until I knew for sure. I had never applied for an internship before and I figured at the very least I would walk away from this with some much needed practice in applying for future internships or research grants. Getting my congratulatory e-mail was one of the most thrilling experiences, second only to being accepted at Saint Mary's.
Being accepted to this program brings with it a fair amount of pressure. Working for the AAA and the UAB entails representing these organizations, my school, the Anthropology Department, and my professors. I also wish to use this experience to enrich my knowledge base and gain more skills I can use in the future.
Since arriving in Washington, D.C and beginning my internship on July 6, 2011, I have been exposed to a wide variety of tasks and experiences. Working at the AAA offices has afforded me the opportunity to utilize social media outlets to promote my passion for all things Anthropology. This experience has allowed me to bring awareness to the processes of governmental funding which can greatly impact scientific research within the social sciences.
The other portion of my internship takes place at the Navy Yards where I work with Archaeologists and Conservationists at the Underwater Archaeology Branch of the Naval History & Heritage Command. This organization is responsible for acting in stewardship of all naval aircraft and vessel wreck sites that remain underwater and for preserving and housing all artifacts that have been excavated. Excavations of sites are only undertaken when intervention is required to preserve artifacts that are under threat; this can be due to environmental instability or human interference of the site.
I have been able to assist in the inventory of artifacts, conservation of artifacts, and promotion of the projects that are currently underway using social media outlets. On Monday July 18, I will be headed out to the field for the first time. The UAB is excavating the USS Scorpion, a War of 1812 ship that is located beneath the Pawtuxet River in Maryland. I will be able to aid the divers from atop a research barge and document any artifacts that are brought to the surface. Once the excavation team returns to base we will begin processing the artifacts to ensure that proper conservation methods are initiated immediately.
I would like to thank Saint Mary's College and my professors for preparing me so well, I would not be where I am today if it were not for the remarkable educational experience I have had. I would also like to thank Damon Dozier and the entire staff at the AAA; I know that my future is much brighter now that I have been able to expand my horizon through gaining practical experience within a field which is so dear to me: Anthropology.

The mother of twins successfully separated after being born joined at the chest says she's looking forward to holding the babies she once thought had no chance of survival.
"I'm just so happy that they're here and they're alive and thriving. It's the best feeling in the world," Jenni Ezell said Thursday during a news conference at Medical City Children's Hospital in Dallas, where she was joined by husband Dave and a doctor.
Owen and Emmett Ezell were separated Saturday at the hospital after being born joined from just below the breast bone to just below the belly button on July 15. The babies shared a liver and intestines and had an about 3 inch by 5 inch area on their lower stomach that wasn't covered by skin or muscles.
"The whole pregnancy was very frightening. I didn't know what would happen. I didn't know if they would make it. It's hard as a mom to know that," Ezell said tearfully.
Dr. Clair Schwenueman, a neonatologist, said that once the boys were born, tests were done to determine exactly how many connections they had. During the nine-hour surgery, a team of surgeons separated the liver and intestines, with the most difficult part being the separation of a shared blood vessel in the liver.
"At this point they're as stable as we could hope for post-operatively," Schwenueman said.
Conjoined twins are rare, occurring in about one in 50,000 to one in 200,000 deliveries, the doctor said.
The Ezells, both 31, discovered the twins they were expecting were conjoined on March 1, when she was 17 weeks pregnant. The couple, who now live in Dallas but lived in Oklahoma at the time, said their doctor there gave them little hope the babies would survive.
"We didn't think they had a chance, that they weren't going to make it at all," she said. "So we decided to abort and it was the hardest decision that a mother has to make."
The Dallas clinic where they went for the abortion had concerns that her scar from previous cesarean sections might tear and sent her to Medical City for a consultation about the scar tissue. During that visit, a doctor unexpectedly told the parents that there was hope for their unborn boys, Jenni Ezell said.

"I could not contain my joy," said Ezell, who added that since they weren't even looking for a second opinion, she felt that through the whole process God was leading them to "exactly where we needed to be."
The boys weighed a combined 11 pounds, 15 ounces at birth. Hospital officials say the twins had grown to more than 16 pounds when the surgery was done.
Schwenueman said he doesn't know yet when they might be able to leave the hospital. The boys are still connected to breathing machines and must heal from the surgery, he said.
Also, he said, they'll face at least one or two more surgeries in the future for the openings below their chests, which are currently covered with a mesh as doctors try to promote skin growth.
In the meantime, Ezell is already planning their first birthday party and getting excited about the boys' brothers — a 7 year old and 16 month old — seeing them now that they're separated.

Lentil (Mason)
The Lentil is one of the oldest cultivated annual legume, and is believed to be native to South Western Asia and Northern Syria. Unlike dried beans, lentils do not need to be soaked before cooking. They are a popular vegetarian food, due to their high protein content and are often served in winter soups and casseroles.

His fame began when he became the first man--at least the first in recorded history--to sing a song in which he named 54 Russian composers in 38 seconds. The song was "Tchaikovsky." The place was Broadway's Alvin Theater on January 21, 1941. The show was Moss Hart's Musical Lady in the Dark. The man was Danny Kaye.
Hart had discovered this young mobile-faced, nimble-tongued redhead in a small Manhattan basement nightspot and written him into the play with the now-famous 11-minute part of a temperamental photographer who had developed the art of tongue-twisters. The number brought the second act to a standstill. Danny Kaye never stood still in his profession again.
He was born David Daniel Kaminsky, the son of an immigrant Ukrainian tailor. After having dropped out of school in his teens, he got early experience as a comedian on the Borscht circuit of summer hotels and camps in the Catskills.
With the help of his wife, composer-lyricist Sylvia Fine Kaye, who provided much of his musical material, he continued to gain prominence. She wrote many of the songs and gags that brought him to the attention of Samuel Goldwyn in 1944. Starting with the film Up in Arms, he was for a decade one of the screen's biggest comedy and musical stars--often as disaster-prone, manic clown with good intentions and a plethora of words flung out haphazardly and at a dizzying rate.
Films he made during this period included Wonderman, the Kid From Brooklyn, The Court Jester, Merry Andrew, Me and the Colonel, and The Inspector General. He also starred in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Hans Christian Andersen, White Christmas, and The Five Pennies and was the recipient of a special Academy Award in 1954.
He took his one-man concert revue to London in 1948, and his success at the Palladium was instant. The Royal Family not only went to see him, but for the first time in history left the royal box and sat in the first row of the orchestra. Life magazine described England's reaction to Kaye as "worshipful hysteria."
Another aspect of his career, conducting major symphony orchestras, began at a time he described as "100 years ago" --an era in which he tends to place many things. Even though he claimed he could not read a note of music, had been known to conduct with a fly swatter and lie on the podium on his back keeping time by kicking his feet in the air, the music was true to its symphonic form and his concerts raised more than $5,000,000 for musicians, pension funds.
Kaye recalled that he took up the baton at the invitation of Eugene Ormandy. It was while Kaye was playing in a stage show in Philadelphia in a theater located a block away from the Academy of Music.
In spite of the unpredictable zany antics that accompanied the conducting, it was praised by the likes of Zubin Mehta who has stated that Kaye "has a very efficient conducting style." And his "Live from Lincoln Center: An Evening with Danny Kaye and the New York Philharmonic," broadcast on PBS, was partially responsible for the Peabody Award Kaye received in 1981. The award was presented to him for "his superb and stimulating entertainment efforts" both for that performance and for his serious dramatic role as a Nazi concentration camp survivor in "Skokie" that year.
Kaye was a familiar face on television. He starred in his own musical-variety series, "The Danny Kaye Show," for four seasons (1963-67). It won him an Emmy Award in 1963. He also received an Emmy for his 1975 appearance on "Danny Kaye's Look-In and the Metropolitan Opera," part of "The CBS Festival of Lively Arts for Young People" series. The following year, he starred opposite Sandy Duncan in "Pinocchio," and as Captain Hook to Mia Farrow's "Peter Pan."
When he returned to Broadway in 1970 in Two by Two, he hurt his hip but continued with the show, appearing night after night for 10 months either on crutches or in a wheelchair.
Although performing was the backbone of his life, Kaye's heart was also with UNICEF for which he was a permanent ambassador-at-large to the world's children. He was so identified with the United Nations agency that, when in 1965, UNICEF received the Nobel Peace Prize, Kaye was selected to accept it.
The entertainer logged thousands of miles on his UNICEF jaunts. He once went to 65 cities in five days and did all the piloting, one of his hobbies. He started flying, also "100 years ago," with a single engine plane and has since flew 747s.
Laughter, however, is what he did best--singing, impersonating and miming, making audiences laugh and cry in the same breath, changing staid adults into grinning children by making faces at them or following a routine such as one he used in Washington D.C. when presented with an award for his work with UNICEF from B'nai B'rith International.
At the end of his standing ovation, he told the audiences to keep standing. He suggested that they all sing "Happy Birthday" to no one in particular. At the end of the song, he asked them why they were "standing up like fools." Then he made faces at the photographers for 20 seconds "so they would go away."
As a youngster, David Daniel Kaminsky wanted to be a doctor. He has become one, using what is considered the best medicine.

Research in wetland forests has indicated that suitable nesting cavities for wood ducks are very limited. Current timber management practices in the southeast U.S. dictate that cavity densities will increase only slowly, if at all. Consequently, populations of wood ducks in the southeast, including Louisiana, may be limited by the number of suitable nesting cavities.
The Waterfowl Program initiated a wood duck box program in 1990 and currently manages over 2,750 nesting boxes. Boxes are mounted on pipe, donated by oil companies, with sheet metal predator guards and installed primarily on LDWF WMAs and also on select private wetlands, state parks and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers properties. Boxes are placed in or proximal to wetlands with good brood habitat in an effort to increase survival rates of young.
Waterfowl Program personnel work with a network of 25 LDWF biologists and specialists that check boxes at least twice/year to monitor annual production. Data from nesting boxes are computerized and summary reports developed. This program is increasing local breeding populations of wood ducks and increasing use of our WMAs by wood ducks. Hooded merganser nesting in boxes is also increasing on some WMAs. Program personnel conduct interagency wood duck workshops in conjunction with federal and state wildlife personnel to provide updated information and techniques to program participants. Personnel also work with university staff to facilitate wood duck research projects.
Wood duck population monitoring is difficult due to the bird's use of densely vegetated habitats. Banding is the primary tool for sampling wood duck populations and provides important information for management. Banding data, when combined with population and harvest data, also provide vital information on the life history, population status and ecology of wood ducks. LDWF typically bands nesting hens while checking nesting boxes, and all captured birds during the pre-hunting season period (July-August). The number of wood ducks banded each year, but over 1,700 have been banded the past 2 years, and Louisiana has banded more wood ducks since 1990 than any other southeastern state.
The preseason banding program is directed toward "local" wood ducks to obtain management information specific to wood ducks from Louisiana and the southern part of the flyway, including the recovery distribution, recovery rates, and survival rates. These data, along with reproduction data help to assess the affect of harvest on wood duck populations.

As an unincorporated community, Perry Hall, Maryland values its own independence as well as the independence and privacy of its apartment renters. This is a great place to move to if you're hoping to get away from it all. Though it's not far from the busy city of Baltimore, giving renters easy access to the city for work or play, Perry Hall is pressed up against the open spaces and farmland of rural Maryland. Around 30,000 people chose to make their homes in this town. Renters who move here will have plenty of people to get to know but won't have to feel like they're struggling to stay afloat in an endless crowd.
For a quiet day of fun, head down to the Chesapeake Bay to play on the shore and hike along the beach and dig up something delicious for dinner (whether with your own hands out of the sand or just at a local seafood restaurant). For a more action-packed day, head into Baltimore to cheer on the Orioles or catch a live comedy show.
The quiet, safe streets of Perry Hall are a great place to live. Unfortunately, everybody knows it and it can be difficult to find an affordable place in town. Renters can bide their time and wait for a good deal to come along or shack up with a couple of roommates to cut down on the cost of living. It is possible to find reasonably priced apartments in town but it may take a little searching around.
Your new apartment lies just a few minutes from the northernmost portion of the Chesapeake Bay. This far north, the brackish water ecosystem is home to a wide variety of fish and birds. Nature lovers can explore the beauty of this part of the state at a few different parks including the nearby Gunpowder Falls State Park. This park has over 100 miles worth of hiking trails spread out over its 18,000 acres. Water-sport enthusiasts can canoe or kayak down the Gunpowder River and out into the bay to explore the marshlands. Fishing, crabbing and digging for clams are also popular pastimes in the area, just make sure to check with the rangers to find out what's in season.
If you love sports, Perry Hall is a great place to call home. This town is just a short drive from Baltimore, which is the home of a number of sports teams, including the Orioles in baseball and the Ravens in football. Though it's easy to cheer on either of these (or any of Maryland's other teams) from the comfort of your neighbor's couch or the local sports bar, heading into Baltimore to catch a live game is no big thing. The city even has a club especially for people who want to connect over their love of sports, so if that sounds like you, be sure to join to meet some like-minded people. Athletes who'd like to get in on the action can also get together down at one of the local sports fields to play a friendly game of softball before hitting up the local pizzeria for dinner.
Most nights here are on the quiet side. While Perry Hall does have its fair share of restaurants and bars, renters who are looking for a little more city life will need to head into Baltimore every once in a while. Baltimore is known for its theaters, comedy clubs, and live music venues. With so much going on, you won't have any trouble finding something fun to do every day of the week. It's also the perfect place to spend a day, whether at a sports game, museum, or matinee. After experiencing a little wild city life, there's nothing better than returning home to your quiet town to rest up for the next fun-filled day.
In a place like this, apartment renters will find it easy to have fun with the neighbors. There's even an official town committee devoted to creating fun-filled events and celebrations. Newcomers should be sure to pick up a copy of the town's newsletter or the local paper because there's something different going on all the time. From parades and fairs to performances and festivals, Perry Hall has something for everyone to enjoy.

The ending of "Inception" was consciously and infuriatingly ambiguous: did the top fall or keep spinning? Was the ending a dream or was it a final happy conclusion for Leonardo DiCaprio's tortured character?
If you were one of the millions who screamed at the movie screen at the end of the movie, this question has haunted you for months.
Leave it to the always capable Alfred, Sir Michael Caine, to put an end to this nonsense once and for all. Caine had the movie watching world in a tizzy after his interview with BBC Radio hit the airwaves.
While director Christopher Nolan and stars of "Inception" have spanned the range from dodging the ending question (DiCaprio) to declining to give an opinion (Cillian Murphy), Caine, who played DiCaprio's mentor and father-in-law in the film, chimed in with this take on the spinning top.
"[The spinning top] drops at the end, that's when I come back on," Caine explained. The toy falling thus denotes that DiCaprio's character is awake and finally reunited with his children.
"If I'm there it's real, because I'm never in the dream. I'm the guy who invented the dream."
So it's a happy ending. Um, right? Or did we just dream this?
To be continued, no doubt.
