Rally for Veterans Nov. 9 on Columbus Campus
Join Columbus State's Veterans Services on Friday, November 9, on the mallway (near the statue) from 8:45-9:45 a.m. as we salute our Columbus State veterans who will march downtown to join in the Columbus Veterans Day Parade!
The Columbus Veterans Day Parade is recognized as one of our nation's biggest parades by the Department of Defense. This year we celebrate and welcome home our Iraq War veterans.
At the college rally, the Veteran Services program will also be accepting monetary donations in support of Blue Star Mothers, a nonprofit organization of mothers who have children honorably serving in the military.
The downtown parade begins at noon at Nationwide Plaza and North High Street, proceeds south on High Street, turns west on Broad Street and disbands at Veterans Memorial.
So come out and cheer for our student and employee veterans and join them in their march downtown! You can also support the Marines' Toys for Tots campaign by bringing a toy to the parade. The Lima Company Marines will be collecting toys all along the parade route.
Columbus State veterans who would like to participate in the parade should contact the Columbus State Veterans Services team at (614) 287-2814 to RSVP and for additional information.
Recognize a Vet on Nov. 13!
Though the college is closed on Veterans Day Nov. 12, we're setting aside a moment to thank our very own veterans. The campus community is invited to stop by the Library Studio at 12:30 p.m. November 13 for an informal reception following the Veterans ERG launch meeting. We invite you to meet, greet and thank a vet for his or her service!
New Employee Resource Group focuses on veterans
The Diversity and Study Abroad Programs Department is hosting the college's official Employee Resource Group (ERG) program. ERGs provide targeted and in-depth networking opportunities for diverse faculty, staff and administrators. The program is designed to help employees build relationships as well as a deeper sense of community with other employees.
The new Veterans ERG welcomes all Columbus State employees who served in the United States Armed Forces, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. Columbus State employees who are family members of veterans are welcome as well.
The first meeting of the Veterans ERG will be on Tuesday, November 13, from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. in the Library Studio. Liaisons to the ERG are Jay Favuzzi and Dan Watrous. RSVP to email@example.com. Attention all Columbus State employees who are also veterans: We want to recognize you!
Interested in these potential ERGs?
Columbus State currently hosts six employee resource groups that meet on a regular basis. As interest in the ERG program grows, we have been approached with ideas for two additional employee resource groups. Before adding additional ERGs, we want to gauge your interest.
Caregivers ERG: The target audience for this group would be employees who are the primary caregivers for children, elderly parents or other dependents. In some cases, the target audience might consider themselves part of the "sandwich" generation, who takes care of both children and parents!
Interfaith ERG: The target audience for this group would be employees who are interested in conversations concerning faith, religion and spiritual expression. This group would be comprised in the spirit of religious pluralism, welcoming all faiths, religions and beliefs – including those who might identify as agnostic or atheist.
If you are interested in either (or both) of these groups, email firstname.lastname@example.com to let us know and you will be emailed directly when their launch meetings are set.
Office Max training offered to cost center managers
Columbus State's new office supply provider, Office Max, will offer training to authorized users and cost center managers on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 6 and 7, 10:00-11:00 a.m. and 2:00-3:00 p.m. in WD Room 407.
International Education Week volunteers needed!
International Education Week, Nov. 13-16, is an opportunity for Columbus State to celebrate the benefits of international education and cultural exchange around the world. With more than 100 countries represented on campus, IEW is a great time to learn about our colleagues and students from all over the world. Columbus State celebrates international education this year with the Geography Jeopardy game, an intriguing roundtable discussion, and the International Film Series, hosted by Global Bridges.
Global Bridges is a year-long program that engages domestic and international students interested in understanding more about the world and each other while connecting via monthly activities. Global Bridges will host the International Film Festival during International Education Week 2012. Guest facilitators are needed to moderate post-film discussions with Global Bridges students. The topics and films include:
Nov. 13, 9:30-11am:

Achieving the Dream team kicks off
three-year initiative
Columbus State's "Dream Team" met their coaches recently as the Achieving the Dream (ATD) project formally kicked off. Coaches Dr. Byron McClenney, University of Texas, and Bruce McComb, Organizational Effectiveness Consultants, met with more than 60 college faculty, staff and administrators who will implement the three-year research effort.
"I am truly excited to be part of this initiative," said team leader and Associate Professor of Mathematics TJ Duda. "I look forward to incorporating the ATD framework into our ongoing commitment to CQI and student success."
Since 2004, Achieving the Dream, an Indianapolis-based nonprofit, has focused on improving community college graduation rates, especially among minorities. The United States has dropped from first to 16th in the past six years in this important category.
Nearly 200 colleges in 32 states and the District of Columbia have signed on to ATD's agenda of a student-centered vision, equity and excellence, and evidence-based decision making.

New art exhibition in Library features work of Wilfredo Calvo Bono
The Library will host a new exhibition by artist Wilfredo Calvo Bono in November. The exhibition is entitled "Out of the Box" and includes two series including the "Bad and Sad" series and the "Possibilities" series. Born in New York City of Cuban parents, the artist acquired the basic knowledge for painting during his studies of architecture. He attended the workshops of artist Josef Albers in 1952 and initiated his first work as an artist in Madrid in 1968.
The "Bad and Sad" series of works in this exhibition is executed with realistic forms which emphasizes social, health, and environmental problems. The "Possibilities" series is formed by abstract geometric pieces with striking colors with the purpose of generating reflective thoughts in the viewer. The exhibition will be on display in the 2nd floor gallery of the Library until November 30.

Bigger in some cases is certainly better and very apt when describing RSP's new Tourlite. Designed to bolt directly to the rack platform, it might be portly but the half- watt LED flanked by two smaller units and integral reflector pack a mighty punch. Raleigh claims it's visible from a mile and friendly acquaintances suggest this is no idle boast.
Battery life iis impressive too-especially in flashing mode where I've managed 97 hours on a set of double a batteries available pretty much anywhere. However, the universal mount wasn't ready in time for testing so getting ours aboard my common or garden expedition rack took some ingenuity and a seat rail mounted bottle caddy…
Tipping the scales at 123g (including batteries) it's a relative Collossus but this is largely unnoticed when bolted to the rack. The width precludes fitting to most universal brackets and the weight needs to be evenly distributed by both screws. Prise the casing open using a flat head screwdriver or coin- this gives you access not only to the battery tray and internals but the screws. A flash of inspiration saw an unused bottle caddy bolted to the carrier and the Tourlite set into to the bottle drillings. Mounting in this fashion also keeps it highly resistant to opportunist theft.
Weather seals are of the waterproof as distinct from water resistant variety; fending attack from heavy rain and garden hose handsomely even around the positive switch there's no obvious sign of ingress and the time honoured slither of Vaseline around the battery contacts seemed unnecessary.
Illumination in all settings is impressive, helped in no small part by the clever LED and reflector arrangement that produces a warm, red arc that isn't easily obscured by expedition panniers. That said, peripheral visibility and battery consumption seem markedly better in flashing modes, which are incidetally perfect for tackling roundabouts, side streets and other hazards on overcast evenings.
Big, beautiful LED ideal for commuting, touring and utility riding.

Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
The Tourlite might feel frumpy alongside the latest generation of super chic LEDs but owing to the wide surface area, integral reflector and sensibly powerful LEDS it's one of the most powerful I've used.
Burn times at least in flashing are extremely frugal and in a pinch, the humble double a batteries can be bought pretty much anywhere. Affixing directly to the carrier means there's a sporting chance of keeping it when popping into the supermarket/off-licence or library.
Friends tell me I'm visible from about three quarters of a mile away and assuming RSP sort the bracket, it could be perfect for tag alongs and trailers too.

Important facts about garbage collection in WebSphere Message Broker
vivekgrover 120000FG70 Comments (20) Visits (48430)
In WebSphere Message Broker, when an execution group is started it creates a JVM which is primarily used by the IBM primitive nodes that make use of java functionality. Examples of these include:
DataFlowEngine JVM can be configured by either passing parameters to the DataFlowEngine directly or through the broker. When using the broker JVM by any of the means above, DataFlowEngine memory may continue to grow and very often may cause resource problems.
Garbage collection is a process of automatic memory management within JVM. The garbage collector attempts to reclaim the memory used by the objects that would never be accessed again by the broker. Any objects that are created during the execution of java functionality in Message Broker will be created within its JVM Heap. Even if no java based functionality has been implemented in a message flow, some of the internal operations in the Execution group use java. The administration threads that perform these internal operations run periodically and when they run they also make allocations on the JVM heap. When the garbage collection is driven, the java application frees up all of its resources, which would then be flagged for deletion. The DataFlowEngine JVM does not delete these resources from the JVM heap until garbage collection is driven. This means, when the garbage collection is driven, it will free up the blocks on the DataFlowEngine JVM heap. Until then, these blocks cannot be re-used, and so the JVM will continue to grow towards its maxJVMHeapSize.
How does garbage collection process work?
The JVM Heap size must be large enough so that all of the threads can perform their java operations successfully when processing concurrently, but must not be so large that the JVM Heap consumes most of the address space. For example, it is possible to set the maxJvmHeapSize of a 32-bit DataFlowEngine to 2GB, but a 32-bit DataFlowEngine process can only grow up to 2GB. So with this type of setting, the JVM can consume most of the address space and hence leave the native C++ memory heap with very little remaining space. This could also cause the DataFlowEngine to abend reporting 'Failed to allocate memory'. So, if the maxJvmHeapSize is too small then java OutOfMemory exceptions will be thrown, however if it is set to a large value, then this can also lead to abends reporting 'Failed to allocate memory'.
To see how often the JVM is doing garbage collection, you can activate the resource statistics collection and check the Cumu
To see the current garbage collection, you can monitor the Cumu
If the UsedMemoryInMB value is always less than the InitialMemoryInMB value, then it would mean that you may have allocated more memory for the heap than required. Therefore, you can reduce the jvmMinHeapSize value for the execution group to a value that is closer to the UsedMemoryInMB value using mqsi
Using clearMessage() in custom Java programs
If your DataFlowEngine process continually grows until an OutOfMemory error is reached, then it is likely that the JVM heap has been exhausted. This could mean that the JVM garbage collection was not driven, indicating the objects are not being freed within the plugin or java Compute node.
When you write your own java code, then care must be taken to ensure all the variables are dereferenced so that the storage can be freed by the garbage collector. Some java objects may require methods to be called on them to delete aspects of the storage created for the object. Sometimes, you may also want to free up the message objects sooner rather than waiting for the garbage collector to be activated. For this purpose, clearMessage() method can be used. If the message object is not deleted using clearMessage() function, then it will not be freed until the Garbage Collector is called. An example of this in the broker java classes is the MbMessage object. This needs to have a clearMessage() call on it so that the associated C++ objects and message bitstream are deleted. For example, if your java node (plugin/JCN) is creating a new output message then you would have lines like:
MbMessage newMsg = null;
In this case, if the createMessage() method is called, a buffer would have been allocated ready to serialize the message tree. As indicated earlier, for every createMessage() issued, an associated clearMessage() needs to be called. This needs to be done after the "outTerm.propagate" and regardless of whether an exception is thrown or not. For example:
MbMessage newMsg = null;
Capturing garbage collection activity
This will log the garbage collection activity in the file gc.trc.
You can also capture the GC activity for all the Execution Groups together, such as at the broker level. The GC activity at the broker level can be captured in one of the following ways:
Understanding garbage collection data
<AF[57]: Allocation Failure. need 16400 bytes, 1420700 ms since last AF>
You can also use the IBM Support Assistant (ISA) workbench, a GUI based application to view the GC activity in graphical form. The ISA workbench can be downloaded from the following IBM site:
After download, you can go to Update > Find updates and add on to install "IBM Monitoring and Diagnostic Tools for Java - Garbage collection and Memory Visualizer". This will install the tool that can now be used to view the garbage collection activity. You can use this tool to analyze any stdout, console.txt or gc output file captured as described earlier. To see the screen-capture that shows the graph created by the tool with the actual heap set on the broker and the used heap during a message flow run, click here. You can also use the Resource statistics as explained above to view the graphs and analyze the JVM usage activity.
I hope this information is helpful in analyzing java memory problems. Let me know if you have any questions.

Migraines are associated with a small increased risk of ischaemic strokes, and a very small increased risk of mental health problems.
A migraine is a condition that often causes painful headaches.
It's not entirely clear what causes migraines. They're known to be triggered by periods, stress, tiredness and certain foods or drinks.
You can ease symptoms of a migraine with painkillers and medicines to stop you feeling sick. Lying down in a dark room may also help.
You may be able to reduce your migraines by avoiding things that tend to cause them. Eating and sleeping well and regular exercise can also help.
A migraine can feel like a throbbing headache, usually on 1 side of the head. Other symptoms include feeling sick and sensitivity to light.

When German researchers reported that fewer weeds grew in fields tilled at night, Doug Buhler at the National Soil Tillage Research Lab, Ames, Iowa, decided to find out for himself. Tracking the growth of 13 common annual weeds, he compared a field cultivated at midnight to a field cultivated in the middle of the afternoon. Buhler reports that nighttime tilling was effective in controlling some weeds.
In Buhler's study, two night cultivations (about 2 weeks apart) produced a 70 percent reduction in lamb's-quarter and an 80 percent reduction in smartweed. Ragweed and black nightshade were reduced by about half, pigweed and mustard by about 40 percent. Night tillage had no effect on many other species, including giant ragweed, velvetleaf, and most of the grasses tested. Buhler says weed species that need light to break dormancy are the ones affected by nocturnal cultivation. That's because tilling allows light to penetrate deeper in the soil. Each time you cultivate during the day, you kill some weeds that have sprouted but wake up others.
Does this mean we all should get night-vision goggles and start hoeing by the light of the moon? Not really, thank goodness. But it does remind us that minimal tillage, plus mulch, is often a better way to prevent weeds than churning up the ground. Buhler theorizes that even very short bursts of light--from a spotlight or even a full moon--could be enough to stimulate some of weed seeds to grow.

The state asked the court to block lower court orders that directed the state to let individual counties decide if they want to permit early voting on the weekend and the Monday before the general election for all registered voters. The state wanted to permit it only for members of the U.S. military.
In a brief, one sentence order, the court said the application for a stay was addressed to Justice Elena Kagan, the circuit justice for that part of the country. She followed the usual practice of referring it to the full court, which then declined to take up the case.

Authorities say a woman who struck and killed a 22-year-old skateboarder in South Daytona had pills and a crack pipe in her car.
The crash occurred Monday as the woman was traveling north on U.S. 1 when she veered off the road and hit Stephen Michael Wilson.
Police say they don't know whether Wilson was on his skateboard, or carrying it, because of conflicting witness accounts.
The Daytona Beach News Journal reports the woman was given a field sobriety test and had to be handcuffed because she became so upset. Authorities eventually had to Baker Act the woman because she was threatening to harm herself.
She's charged with felony possession of drugs. Police say other charges are pending toxicology results form a crime lab.

The Aldrich Alert
A Publication of the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty
by Gary Aldrich - Volume 2, Issue 41
This article appeared on TownHall.com on August 29, 2002.
Let's talk about the facts of life. It's a fact of life that we have lost the war to control pornography. The war was over years ago when the Supreme Court ruled that porn was legal if it met community standards. Whatever Conservatives or American society in general wished to do about this growing wave of filth has been for naught. It's saddening to admit, but it's true.
During the Reagan administration, I was part of a nationwide effort to try to make a dent in the pornography industry. The FBI had hard evidence that organized crime (OC) had moved into the pornography industry, just as they had into gambling, prostitution and drugs. OC thrives on the vices of humans.
After a year-long undercover case that more than proved the OC connection to porn, we brought forward our indictments. At that time, the community standard that allows federal prosecutions for obscene material gave us the hammer to put away many OC thugs - even the Liberal Miami juries agreed that some of the material being sold was a bit over the top. We fined these sleaze merchants heavily and sent them to the slammer.
You know what? We didn't even make a dent.
Today, that same kind of material is routinely displayed on hundreds of Internet websites advertising their wares in an effort to get you to pay a fee to "peek" inside. What's inside must really be filthy, but if it isn't considered child porn, it won't be prosecuted. Eight years of Bill Clinton in the White House and Janet Reno in the Department of Justice guaranteed that every community standard in the nation has been lowered. Today, both federal and local prosecutions of routine porn are a lost cause.
Whatever objections we had as a society to this porn garbage are moot at this point.
Hundreds of billions of dollars are made each year on the "sales" of horrible things, images that most of us want to keep away not only from our children, but from our communities. We want to keep this material from finding its way into the very fabric of our society. Yet, there is an enormous appetite for this stuff - so much so that it's obvious that the flow from producer to consumer cannot be controlled. Conservatives need to understand this. We have lost this war, but is there something positive that can come from this? Do we just "give up," or is there some way we can curtail the amount of porn being produced?
You bet there is, and here's the answer: Tax the living daylights out of it! Tax every part of it. Tax the consumers who want to look at it. Tax the "actors" - mostly women, and some men - who are making money being "models" for these porn sites. Tax every network that allows this human sewage to flow through their switches, cables, phone lines - tax any entity that makes it easy for this material to go from camera lens to your living room where little Johnny can see it while you're out at the grocery store.
Call it a Porn Tax.
Tax them federally, and tax them at the state level as well. Tax them county and tax them local. Tax them until it hurts, and tax them until they scream. Then, tax them right out of business.
Impossible you say? Wait a minute! Isn't this the reasoning behind the tax on cigarettes? Cigarettes are considered to be a threat to the well being of humans. Is filthy pornography less of a threat to the minds and emotional well-being of humans?
We also tax alcohol heavily, reasoning that a heavy tax keeps the prices up, and thus, maybe out of the hands of too many drunks. As a society, we recognize that booze is not the best way to have a good time, but we acknowledge that it cannot be stopped, so we heavily regulate it, and we tax the grapes out of it!
Why does porn get a pass?
Regulating and taxing cigarettes is not a signal that society approves of the production, distribution and use of tobacco products - just the opposite is true. Our society has begun to frown on the use of cigarettes and has outlawed their use in many public places, including restaurants and bars in some states, yet we throw up our hands and claim impotence in our efforts to control porn. We can't even keep it out of our public libraries! It seems we are unable to think of any solution, so we do nothing.
From now on, unless we have some kind of revolution or the installation of a dictator who has the power to chop off the hands of those who possess or produce porn, it's here, and it's widely available. Get over it! Sure you can regret that we cannot control this. Of course, you can do your best to keep it out of your life. I'm not saying we should give any indication at all that we accept this horrible environment that has been thrust upon us.
Most of us hate this deep injury to our civility. The least we can do is think of some way to lessen it.
Let's face another fact: women are ill-served by allowing themselves to be filmed while performing the most intimate of activities, but they sure aren't victims! There are thousands of them, maybe hundreds of thousands of women, young and old, who for some reason think it's just fine to be a part of this scourge.
Being ill-served and engaging in harmful, risky activity has never stopped prostitutes from doing what they do. Obvious facts about the dangers are not going to stop the actors and actresses from appearing in porn flicks. But, we can lay on a heavy financial burden, just like we tax anyone else who's engaged in a high-profit enterprise. Maybe fewer will be available if we make it tough enough. Let's take away the financial benefit.
At a time when government officials are pulling out all the stops to dream up taxes and penalties that honest, hardworking, decent citizens must pay, this idea seems like a no-brainer. If they can put cameras on tops of poles to catch those who run red lights, don't tell me they can't figure out how to tax porn and all who benefit from it.
Let's tax porn back into the dark alley where it belongs.

Lingerie Andres Sarda Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Madrid Spring Summer 2014Fashion One correspondent Ana Sanchez takes us to the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Madrid where we'll be checking out Andres Sarda's 2014 Spring/Summer lingerie collection. Creative Director, Nuria Sarda, tells us about the inspiration for the swimwear and lingerie collection – it will be like a special galactic garden with a vintage style thrown in. Nuria tells us that this new collection will have textured fabric, jacquards, piques, smooth and stamped material, colored plastics, crochets and laminated fabrics. Silks, organic cotton, lace, metal and plastic were some of the materials used in this collection.
The first model on the runway presented a black and white horizontally striped one-piece bathing suit with a twist – it had short sleeves, a boat-style plunging neckline with cut out areas in the shape of a ship's wheel. Next up was a micro-bikini in black and white horizontal stripes with matching Kentucky Derby-style striped hat. Then things got rather strange with a Purple and Orange color plastic shorts and Day Glow Yellow band top with matching full-faced PVC visor. The next garment on the catwalk is a Canary Yellow two-piece bathing suit with a futuristic look. The lower part of the suit is a bikini but the upper part is a crop top with full-length sleeves that attach to a turtleneck, and matching Kentucky Derby-style hat. There is a peekaboo plunging V-neck just over the bosom area, as if the suit wasn't eye-catching enough.
The lingerie portion of the show was truly inspiring, and yet it did get a little strange, too. For instance, the two-piece suit in Pale Yellow silk with wide lapels, plunging neckline, stovepipe pants, wide-brimmed fedora. It wasn't until the model turned around that you could see the flesh-color lace back, bottom and leg, leaving absolutely nothing left to the imagination. It was definitely a showstopper as was the floral jumpsuit with scoop neckline, bell-bottom legs and wing-like appendages at the end of the sleeves.
Interesting garments in the show:
• Cerulean Blue iridescent two-piece suit with boy shorts and strapless Décolleté;
• Alizarin Crimson PVC full-length gown with fishtail hem, high neckline and diagonal strip of cloth from neck to bossom;
• White and black trimmed push-up bra and bikini panties with full-length sleeves and turtleneck pullover that only covers the shoulders;
• Metallic lavender body briefer with bell sleeves
Swarovski Crystals were used during the presentation of the lingerie.
Shoes are from the Jeffrey Campbell Collection.

How Murray Undid Federer
We know enough not to do this again, right? Yes, Roger Federer did not make it to the finals of the 2013 Australian Open, and was in fact out-muscled by Andy Murray in a hard-fought, five-set semifinal loss on Friday. Yes, it is possible that Roger Federer could be beginning a decline down the long shoulder of what has been among the great careers in the sport. But it is certain that he remains Roger Federer, and thus that reasonable observers would do well to leave the "Is this the end?" pondering for another day, or year. Anyway, if there's a story in Murray's first-ever defeat of Federer in a Grand Slam tournament—and in this particularly gutsy bit of racket-to-racket combat—it's probably Murray himself.

The University Libraries are at the center of one of the most potentially far-reaching developments in scholarly communication at UNLV: the launch of the UNLV Gaming Press, a new initiative dedicated to issuing books—both electronically and in print—that share the work of UNLV faculty, highlight the rare and unique materials of Special Collections and provide outlets for the serious study of gambling.
The Press, a collaboration between the University Libraries, the William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration and the William S. Boyd School of Law, is a bold new academic start-up that, taking advantage of advances in electronic publishing and print-on-demand systems, will focus initially on publishing the proceedings of conferences held at UNLV or are affiliated with the university and drawing on the breadth and depth of materials associated with the Libraries' Center for Gaming Research.
"This really is the future of scholarly communication," says David G. Schwartz, Director of the Center for Gaming Research, who serves as publisher for the Press. "It's about sharing primary sources and letting scholars share their innovative ways. It's a testament to the leadership of Dean Iannuzzi that the Libraries is the cornerstone of this endeavor."
There are several books already in the publication queue. Among them are: Frontiers in Chance: Explorations in Gambling Studies, an anthology of papers published by the Center for Gaming Research as part of its regular series; a reprint of Gambling and Public Policy: International Perspectives, a 1991 collection of papers from the International Conference on Gambling and Risk-Taking; and Regulating Internet Gaming: Challenges and Opportunities, a compilation of papers presented at a conference held at the Boyd School of Law last May.
"The book Regulating Internet Gaming is a collection of chapters from authors who are experts in the field," says Ngai Pindell, a member of the Gaming Press' editorial board as well as associate dean of academic affairs at Boyd School of Law. "I am very excited to see the final result and very impressed with the authors' knowledge of the subject and ability to convey this knowledge to others."
All books will be available electronically in all major formats (Kindle, Nook, Kobo, iBook) and in print. They will be for sale in all major retail channels and available for purchase to libraries around the world.

Tracks nine, ten & eleven of the So L.A. Soundtrack…
"Stuck In Lodi" by Creedence Clearwater Revival
So I know I promised a few days ago, when I began this project, that I was going to avoid the "cliché" but when you're writing a book about a town as small as Lodi and it just so happens that there is also a fairly well known song about that same said town, well, you kind of have to include it. Especially when, near the end of the book Magdalena really does find herself "stuck in Lodi. Again."
"Everybody's Gotta Live" by Arthur Lee
Hearing this song was a turning point for me. And equally important, it was a turning point for the book. I was deep into writing the pages of Magdalena's depression, writing the worst and most despicable parts about her. When you're doing dark writing like this it's hard not to get wrapped up in the anger and the despair. I was struggling to write the scene where Mags comes to a resolution and forgives herself for Junah's death, but I just couldn't get the words out. A friend sent me this song and like Arthur Lee says, "Everybody's gotta live and everybody's gotta die." Accepting Junah's death allows Magdalena to live. She just has to "know the reason why."
"Our Lips Are Sealed" by The Go-Go's
This song is spiritual for me. Especially when paired with the video. There's something that's just, well, so L.A. about it. Convertibles with their tops down, girls who are insanely beautiful, but not in a manufactured way (e.g. L.A. in the early 80's and not 2012) and dancing, fully clothed, in a public fountain in Beverly Hills. For me, this is Magdalena before Junah died: self-confident and joyful, and it is Magdalena in Take Six, which is not in the printed version of the book. Splashing in a public fountain while singing with a "hell-if-I-care-who-sees-me" attitude is where I hope Magdalena's headed, off the page, after the book ends.

Wyoming Governor, Matt Mead, has written a letter to the Secretary of Health and Human Services asking for clarification of several components of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to help him make a decision whether the state will subscribe to the act's optional expansion of Medicaid.
The Obama administration is expecting an answer from Meade by Nov. 16 of this year, but Mead insists he needs more explanation before he can arrive at an informed decision.
A press release from the governor's office elaborates Mead's concerns regarding the feasibility of implementing components of the act in Wyoming's unique economy. Mead pointed out the state has a large amount of smaller employers, and many have communicated it would be easier for them to pay the PPACA fines than to continue providing insurance for their employees.
Mead also indicated in the letter he believes the act will have unintended consequences when it becomes fully implemented in 2014, including raising individual health insurance premiums by as much as 30-40 percent.
Mead previously added his name to a joint letter posing similar questions to Secretary Sebelius. The secretary's response letter, addressed to the Republican Governor's Association, did not address all the issues brought forth, and though more information was promised, it has not yet been released from the secretary.

The goal of the project is to complete the dataset for the assessment of Aquatic Recreation Use in Cedar Lake by monitoring total phosphorus, chlorophyll-a, and secchi depth.
The Aitkin County Soil and Water Conservation District will partner with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and local volunteers to conduct water quality monitoring in high priority areas of the Upper Mississippi River (Brainerd) Watershed. Four lakes will be sampled, including Sheriff, Rabbit, French, and Section Twelve. Four stream/river sites will be monitored including the Rice River (2 sites), Ripple River, and Sissabagama Creek. Through this effort we will obtain information that will be useful in assessing the health of this watershed.
Peer Engineering, Inc. (Peer) will evaluate and recommend to MPCA groundwater monitoring staff prospective sites/locations for the installation of groundwater monitoring wells to evaluate contaminant/pollutant concentrations from various sources. Peer will oversee the installation of monitoring wells by retaining a state drilling contractor or preparing bid documents to retain well driller through the Department of Administration. Superfund staff will assist in the project by providing oversight of contractual requirements and provide technical assistance as needed.
This project will complete the installation of four nested wells to the Ambient Groundwater Monitoring Network and relocated one well in the City of Saint Paul. Braun Intertec will coordinate site access and oversee the well installation by a state drilling contractor.
This project will place the Cedar River watershed on a sustainable and clearly understood implementation process for comprehensive water management. All people living in the watershed and all groups operating and managing land in the watershed, are responsible stakeholders in the effort. Objectives for this phase of the project include:
1. Develop a comprehensive watershed restoration and protection strategy.
2. Continue development of a more coordinated and comprehensive citizen participation process.
This project will provide the assessment of the chemical, physical, biological, and bacteriological integrity of surface waters.
The project will include lake monitoring on three (3) lakes found in the Rum River watershed in southeastern Crow Wing County (CWC). The project will be conducted in an effort to gain sufficient data on these data-deficient lake sites. All of the proposed monitoring sites are target sites for 2013-2014. One of the goals of the CWC Local Comprehensive Water Plan (CWP) is to establish a countywide Comprehensive Monitoring Plan (CMP).
This project will collect a complete Trophic Site Index (TSI) data set for Crow Wing County lakes and a complete data set for streams and rivers for the Intensive Monitoring Program (IMP). Crow Wing County, Cass County, Wadena County, Morrison County and Hubbard County are partnering to ensure that all target lakes and rivers within the Crow Wing River watershed are monitored efficiently.
The project will include lake monitoring on seventeen lakes found in the Mississippi River - Brainerd watershed in East Central Crow Wing County (CWC). The project will be conducted in an effort to gain data on these data-deficient lakes. One of the goals of the CWC Local Comprehensive Water Plan (CWP) is to establish a countywide Comprehensive Monitoring Plan (CMP). Surface water assessment monitoring will enable state 303(d) and 305(b) assessments and provide a better understanding of these lakes.
This project will build upon existing planning and implementation efforts already taken on in the project area. The collection of existing information will be used to complement water information in support of a more successful and sustainable water quality improvement and protection implementation program. This will be achieved by active civic engagement activities throughout Phase I of this project.
This project will provide fiscal resources for South St. Louis County Soil and Water Conservation District (SSLCSWCD) to participate and lead efforts to attain geomorphic data sets, dissolved oxygen assessments, culvert inventory, and civic engagement activities in three major watersheds, Nemadji River, South Lake Superior and St. Louis River. This work is currently being worked on as a part of the MPCA's Watershed Restoration and Protection Planning efforts.
This project continues the total maximum daily load (TMDL) and watershed restoration and protection strategies (WRAPS) process for the Duluth Metropolitan Area (DMA). The DMA is defined by water, sitting at the juncture of Lake Superior and the St. Louis River Estuary, and surrounded by semi-mountainous terrain. The project serves as a bridge into the next phase of restoration and protection identified by the Duluth Urban Stream TMDLs and WRAPS. In the first phase of community engagement, a collaborating organization was formed to define a framework for the DMA communities.
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Watershed Pollutant Load Monitoring Network (WPLMN) requests assistance from local partners to collect samples and field data at designated stream monitoring sites for the purpose of assessing water quality and calculating annual pollutant loads.
This project will gather watershed data necessary for the development of a comprehensive watershed management plan with parameter-specific thresholds that will maintain or improve water quality for the Kawishiwi Watershed.
The purpose of this contract is to augment data collection efforts for the St. Louis River (SLR) Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) and for four impaired Duluth beaches. For the SLR WRAPS, activities include: attaining datasets for watershed stressors and geomorphic conditions, water quality gap monitoring, and a civic engagement component. Impaired beaches activities include: collection of field observational data, field water chemistry, and water quality samples for analytical analysis.
This project will provide a protocol for prioritizing sites in the St. Louis Area of Concern (AOC ) for restoration based on site-specific bioavailability considerations. Despite large data collection efforts focused on sediment chemistry, the extent to which sediment with moderate levels of contamination is available for uptake into biota and therefore contributing to Beneficial Use Impairments (BUI)s is still largely unknown.
The St. Louis River Area of Concern (SLRAOC) conservation partners are focused on removing Beneficial Use Impairments (BUI) in the estuary and eventually delisting the SLRAOC. Cooperative efforts between multiple resource agencies and regional stakeholders have identified a host of restoration objectives, developed project support activities, and partially secured funding that includes a state commitment through the Minnesota Clean Water Fund.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (MPCA) Watershed Pollutant Load Monitoring Network (WPLMN) forms the core of a long-term program designed to measure and compare regional differences and trends in pollutant loadings from Minnesota's mainstem rivers and the outlets of major watersheds and subwatersheds draining to these rivers.
The project goal is to conduct water chemistry monitoring at four subwatershed sites and one basin site in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Water chemistry monitoring will be conducted at a wide range of flow conditions with emphasis of collecting samples during periods of moderate and high flows after runoff events, as defined in the Watershed Pollutant Load Monitoring Network (WPLMN) Standard Operating Procedures and Guidance. The data collected will be submitted to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and used in the FLUX32 model for calculating pollutant loads.
This purpose of this project is to evaluate the conditions of eight streams in the Cedar River Watershed and one site on the Wapsipinicon River. Monitoring will take place for two years. Mower Soil and Water Conservation District staff will collect samples following Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Intensive Watershed Monitoring (IWM) sample collection protocols and will organize and review all field and laboratory data, along with field notes and photos.
This project supports monitoring and assessment activities by MPCA EAO staff and includes lab analysis, equipment, and fieldwork expenses associated with monitoring and assessment activities within the described priority watersheds.
Lake Monitoring: Lakes are monitored for nutrients, clarity and other information to provide the data needed to assess the aquatic recreation use support.
This project supports monitoring and assessment activities by MPCA EAO staff and includes lab analysis, equipment, fieldwork, data management, and interpretation expenses associated with monitoring and assessment activities.The ambient groundwater monitoring network describes the current condition and trends in Minnesota's groundwater quality.
This St. Louis River Watershed assessment will include the waters of Dempsey Creek, West Two River, St. Louis River, Mud Hen Creek, Embarrass River, West Swan River, Partridge River, Barber Creek, East Swan River, Helen Lake, Pine Lake, Cadotte Lake, Colby Lake, Loon Lake, St. James Pit, Strand Lake, Nichols Lake, Ely Lake, Silver Lake, Elbow Lake, Mashkenode Lake, Carey Lake and Island Lake. These lakes and streams are found throughout the St. Louis River Watershed, which spans parts of St. Louis and Itasca Counties.
Minnesota Clean Water Funds will be used to complete a paleolimological study of the St. Louis River Estuary for the purpose of providing information critical to removing Beneficial Use Impairments in the St. Louis River Area of Concern. This project will reconstruct the biological (algal load and composition), geochemical (organic and inorganic), sediment, and mercury chronology to identify historical temporal and spatial variations in the St. Louis River Estuary in order to better understand the natural and anthropogenic drivers related to beneficial use impairments for the St.
The goal of this project is to engage citizens in local watershed monitoring, work with regional partners to promote understanding and protection of watersheds, and organize and facilitate gathering of scientific data for the benefit of water quality in the Red River Basin.
The purpose of this project is to improve understanding of primary productivity in the Red River and the diversity and population structure of the algal communities occurring along the river system. This will be accomplished through taxonomic identification of periphyton and phytoplankton assemblages necessary for characterizing responses to nutrient gradients along the Red River of the North.
MN Legislative Clean Water Fund funding to engage citizens in local watershed monitoring, work with regional partners to promote understanding and protection of watersheds, and organize and facilitate gathering of scientific data all for the benefit of water quality in the Red River Basin.
This project will gather watershed data necessary for the development of a Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy with parameter-specific targets that will maintain or improve water quality in the Rum River Watershed. Local Partners will lead various portions of this project and a hired onsultant will be subcontracted to write selected TMDL protection plans.
This project will focus on Watershed Restoration and Protetion Strategy (WRAPS) and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) report development for the Rum River Watershed, which includes Mille Lacs Lake (the second largest lake in Minnesota) and the Rum River of which Mille Lacs Lake is the headwaters. The project will produce a plan that partners and citizens will be able to implement, a framework for citizen engagement, and a set of watershed management activities that will achieve water quality standards for all impairments within the watershed.
The Mille Lacs Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) will assist the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) with water quality monitoring and pollutant load calculations at two sites in the Rum River Watershed. Approximately 20-25 grab samples per site between ice-out and October 31, 2019 will be collected along with field measurements and observations. Samples will be collected using procedures described in the Watershed Pollutant Load Monitoring Network (WPLMN) Standard Operating Procedures and Guidance (SOPG).
The purpose of the project is to collect data to represent the ambient condition of the lakes and streams of the Rum River Watershed within Mille Lacs, Isanti and Sherburne Counties that is needed to determine if thresholds set to protect designeated uses, such as aquatic recreation and aquatic life, are being met .
The objective of this sampling plan is to quantify the inputs and outputs of methyl-mercury in the St. Louis River. Mercury can be bound to organic carbon or suspended solids; therefore, it is necessary to determine loadings of them as well. To get loadings, this sampling plan includes event and base flow monitoring at key tributaries to the St. Louis River and at stations within the St. Louis River.
The goal of this project is to provide drilling services for the Sentinel Lakes Groundwater/Surface Water Interaction Network. The three new wells will be used for monitoring the interaction between groundwater and surface water in Lakes Shaokatan and Bear Head. Groundwater/lake water interactions are not well understood, and in order to produce accurate and useful Total Maximum Daily Load watershed investigations and impairment remediations, the MPCA must understand how groundwater affects lake water quality.
This project will augment data collection efforts for the Lake Superior South, Cloquet, St. Louis River, and Duluth Urban Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) projects. Activities include: attaining datasets for watershed stressors and geomorphic conditions, water quality gap monitoring, and civic engagement. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has been collaborating with the South St. Louis Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) to complete WRAPS related technical and civic engagement work in the Lake Superior basin for the past five years.
This project will collect water quality data in the St. Louis River watershed as part of the 10-year Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) cycle for Minnesota waters. South St. Louis Soil and Water Conservation District (SSLSWCD) staff will conduct all monitoring in accordance with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Intensive Watershed Monitoring (IWM) standard operating procedures. The SSLSSWCD has extensive experience in stream sampling techniques, including dissolved oxygen, pH, specific conductance, temperature, total suspended solids, nutrients, E.
This project will provide complementary (same year) physical and chemical data sets for three MPCA prioritized lakes in NE Minnesota to incorporate into the overall State database for MPCA assessment purposes as well as research purposes.

1967 Buick Grand Sport 400 - Improve Your Car's Ride And Handling
Install A Street Challenge Air Suspension On Your '64-'72 GM A-Body And...
In recent years, makers of air bag suspension systems have waged a highly effective campaign to earn credibility among misinformed skeptics. The nay-sayers are haunted by the misguided assumption that air suspension is for tubby boulevard cruisers and 18-wheelers-not performance cars. While this used to be a valid assessment, it's totally out to lunch in the modern arena.
The big difference is that today's air-spring systems-like those offered by Air Ride Technologies-are complete kits that come with specifically matched springs, shock absorbers, sway bars, and, perhaps most importantly, fabricated suspension control arms and spindles with revised geometry to maximize the handling benefit caused by the altered ride height. Add it all together and the result is a unique combination of improved suspension geometry (for maximized tire contact and adhesion) and reduced body roll, but with the air-only benefits of a smoother ride and the ability to adjust ride height to suit your tastes.
To spread the good word, Air Ride Technologies has gone so far as to sponsor an annual Street Challenge event where drivers are invited to compare their standard metal-sprung cars against cars riding on air. These events are held at Putnam Park Road Course in Greencastle, Indiana-a 1.8 mile road course featuring 10 unforgiving turns. At the '06 event, professional road racer Boris Said generated an amazing 1.1 g in an Air Ride-equipped '67 Chevelle wearing a set of BFGoodrich G-Force tires. His best lap time around the course was 32.23 seconds. Then he jumped into a similar Chevelle-sitting on its stock Super Sport metal coil spring suspension-and ran the circuit in 37.36 seconds, 5 seconds slower.
So there's little doubt that air suspension has arrived. But how easy is it to install? To find out, Rodney Mason and Brad Coomer descended on CC publisher John Gallagher's daily-driven '67 Buick Gran Sport 400. We followed along and were surprised at how it's a pretty basic change-out operation where it's out with the old, in with the new.
At just over $6,000, the complete Street Challenge package shown here can't really be considered a budget bolt-on, but if you're looking for a track tested (and proven) suspension system that delivers a better ride than metal-based counterparts and lets you play with different ride height settings for enhanced cornering-or just bitchin' stance-look no further. And remember, though this installation centers on the STR2000 kit for '64-'67 GM A-bodies, Street Challenge kits are also available for '68-'72 GM A-bodies, Tri-Five Chevys, '58-'64 X-frame Chevys, '62-'74 Novas, '67-'81 Camaros, '78-'88 GM G-bodies, '63-'06 Chevy pickup trucks, and all '64-'70 and '79-'04 Mustangs.

The music world lost yet another star recently when Fayette Pinkney of the Three Degrees died last weekend in Lansdale, PA, a result of acute respiratory failure according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. She was only 61 years of age. Pinkney, who was an original member of the Philly soul trio, lent her powerful voice to the 1970s soul hits "When Will I See You Again?" (see video below) and "T.S.O.P. (The Sound of Philadelphia)" (aka the theme song of the TV show Soul Train).
The video clip above was recorded for the BBC in 1975 for a special that aired on the UK channel in July of that year. The above excerpt from that special includes the group performing the aforementioned Soul Train anthem, "TSOP," and also their first big UK hit, "Year of Decision."
When the Three Degrees first formed in the early 1960s Pinkney was still a student at Overbrook High School in Philadelphia. As a part of the Three Degrees she contributed to helping define "the Philadelphia sound." In their time the Three Degrees were considered by many to be a Philly version of the Supremes.

Toronto city councilors voted to limit their hell-raising mayor's powers on Friday after his latest obscene outburst.
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is under fire for a bizarre series of admitted and alleged misdeeds, most recently drawing mockery and gasps when he used obscene language while denying sexual harassment claims.
He later apologized for Thursday's outburst, but it did little to stem the swelling outrage, which began this month when he admitted he had smoked crack cocaine during a drunken rampage.
On Thursday, Premier Kathleen Wynne, the leader of the province of Ontario, signaled a willingness to find legal means to oust the mayor, if asked by the municipality, but later backed off.
Instead, Toronto's city council passed a motion on Friday morning limiting the mayor's executive powers, effectively leaving him as the city's chief magistrate in name only.
Councilor John Fillion said ahead of the vote that the aim was to "try to contain the mayor so that he doesn't bring down the reputation of council or of the city."
The motion, supported by an overwhelming majority of councilors, reduces the mayor's budget and staff, and strips him of the powers to appoint committee chairs as well as hire or fire department heads.
One councilor described the move as an attempt to build a "firewall" around the disgraced mayor.
Ford responded with a pledge to mount a legal challenge to the "precedent-setting" censure.
A legal opinion circulated by Ford staffers argued the changes to city governance "could be perceived by the public" as an attempt to punish Ford "for alleged personal misconduct."
"There is no evidence before the council suggesting that the mayor has failed to exercise, or abused, his powers, or been unwilling or unable to fulfill them," it said.
The mayor's troubles began several weeks ago when a video surfaced in police hands that appeared to show him smoking crack.
Forced to admit he once smoked the illicit drug, he apologized for his antics, including his many "drunken stupors."
Then new allegations of misconduct, disclosed this week, and lewd remarks gave another boost to the spiraling scandal.
Ford's former chief of staff, two underlings and a bar waiter alleged in police interviews that Ford had snorted cocaine and partied with a possible prostitute on St Patrick's Day last year.
Police used the allegations to obtain a search warrant in an investigation of Ford's friend Alessandro Lisi, who faces drug and extortion charges.
Ford reacted angrily as he arrived for work on Thursday, telling reporters he would sue his former staffers and the waiter, calling the allegations "outright lies."
The three staffers were among revelers who joined Ford as he started partying that evening at City Hall.
One of them said he saw a woman named Alana he believed was a sex worker.
The staffer told police there had been rumors that Ford "had used escorts or prostitutes" and that Alana had previously been seen with Ford "at a stag party."
"It hurts my wife when they are calling a friend of mine a prostitute. Alana is not a prostitute. She's a friend and it makes me sick how people are saying this," Ford said.
According to the police transcripts, the party moved to a private room at a bar, where a waiter said he saw the mayor and a woman bent over a table and "heard two sniffs from both of them."
Ford rejected this account and allegations that, over the course of the night, he made lewd suggestions to a female policy adviser and a female City Hall security guard.
In his denial, he used an obscene metaphor for oral sex, causing further outrage.

Education Aid Watch 2013
Download: English
Education Aid Watch 2013 is a major report by GCE, based on new analysis of aid figures and aid trends. A collaborative project created by GCE national coalitions in donor countries and GCE's international secretariat, the report is analyses donor progress on aid to education, with a particular focus on basic education.
The report finds that overall reductions in aid to education are taking place, in part mirroring overall aid trends in the fall-out of the global financial crisis. But the sharp downturn in support to basic education demonstrates a trend among donors to shift their spending away from basic education in the poorest countries, with some donors completely pulling out of certain countries.
GCE's Education Aid Watch 2013 looks at the efforts of 11 donor countries in which the GCE has an active coalition Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK and the USA. It contains a detailed national profile for each of these 11 countries, which has original research from the coalition of the latest aid patterns. These outline the general trends and government priorities in aid to education, as well as giving specific recommendations for that countrys aid programme.
The report concludes that the world needs an urgent action plan to secure a renewed focus on filling the US $38 billion financing gap for basic and lower secondary education - recently identified by the UNESCOs GMR team. It concludes with clear recommendations for how to address this.

Instead of boiling my probe to denature in labeling solution I accidentally added it to Express Hyb, then realized my mistake and boiled the whole 30ml of hybridization buffer + probe for 20 minutes in 95C heating block. Do you think the SDS and whatever else that might be in Express Hyb is going to interfere with probe denaturation at 95C?

Probably not I would guess. However, you will probably be better off boiling a new aliquot of the probe and re-probing, as you will have to do this anyway to confirm that what you may or may not see is the correct result.
Posted 02 August 2012 - 01:39 PM
Thanks for the reply. Since this is a confirmation SB of samples already screened by PCR and expected band sizes are known, I will just sit and wait for the film to expose. I am not sure if there is anything chemical at all that might prevent dsDNA from denaturing at 95C.
Posted 24 September 2012 - 05:39 PM
I did the same mistake last week (add the labelled probe without heating/boiling for denaturation) but realized later on. So I continued developing the phospho-image and surprisingly expected bands were shown up with minimal background probing. Later on I reprobe the same blot to confirm it again. I am also wondering how I got the bands first time even though denaturation is a critical step for hybridization. Any comments ??
I am just curious to know whether you got any bands ?

Ford's Margins: It's All About the Trucks
By Mike Ramsey
Ford Motor Co.'s stock is getting run over today, as investors worry that the auto maker's profit growth will plateau this year in part because of what CFO Bob Shanks referred to as "adverse product mix."
That phrase is a car business euphemism for a condition in which an auto maker sells more low-profit cars and small sport utility wagons, and fewer of its larger, more expensive models. When a Detroit company like Ford complains about "adverse mix," what it means is the company expects big pickup trucks to account for a smaller share of total sales.
It's true that Ford has built its turnaround — and the impressive 10% margins its North American auto business achieved in 2012 — by boosting the profitability and desirability of its smaller vehicles. The new Fusion midsize sedan, the Ford Focus compact and the Ford Escape compact SUV are all big improvements over their predecessors.
But selling more of these vehicles — and hybrids like the Ford C-Max — can hurt overall profit margins, Mr. Shanks warned during a conference call this morning.
"We are going to have a lot more Fusions, Escapes and C-Maxes," he said. "Obviously the margin we see on these vehicles isn't as high as it is on the F-series."
Auto analysts have pegged the variable margin on each Ford F-series truck at between $8,000 and $10,000. Compare that to $2,500 in pretax profit in North America per vehicle sold and it is easy to see that the trucks contribute an outsized share of Ford's overall profitability. More on the importance of trucks in the full post.

Louisiana Public Broadcasting unveils a special presentation of the first episode of its new six-part series Alive! In America's Delta on Monday, August 19th at 7PM on LPB and Friday, August 23rd at 8PM on WLAE in New Orleans. The series was produced with the generous support and assistance of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
By 1954, Louisiana had lost its entire population of whooping cranes. This majestic North American bird had been over-hunted and much of its coastal habitat was converted to farmland, pushing the population to the brink of extinction and leaving only 16 birds remaining in the world. To assist in the survival of the species, U.S. and Canadian biologists started by working to re-establish the bird, and in the process have learned even more about the whooping crane. Through this intensive, international effort, there are now more than 400 in the wild, and while there is new hope for the future of the species, their ultimate survival is not guaranteed.
This documentary follows the newest initiative to reintroduce whooping cranes into their ancestral territory currently underway in southwest Louisiana, with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries taking the lead. Each year, whooping cranes born in captivity are raised by costumed caretakers at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Maryland, run by the U.S. Geological Survey, with the intent of reintroducing them into the wild.
"This project has been in the works for a long time, because Louisiana has a very large area of high quality habitat for cranes. We're proud to have the opportunity to restore a native species that was lost. With the reintroduction of the whooping crane in Louisiana, we become the latest partner in a consortium of scientists and conservationists across the North American continent restoring cranes," said LDWF administrator Bob Love.
By increasing the numbers of whooping cranes, the bird could eventually be removed from the list of critically endangered species. The addition of a separate non-migratory flock will also serve to protect the species from the danger of disease or a catastrophic event like a hurricane or oil spill.
South Louisiana has retained an extensive crane habitat, with coastal marshlands providing an abundance of food. The reintroduced whooping cranes also frequent rice and crawfish farms, which are a rich source of foraging material. But even with an ideal habitat, the young birds lack the guidance and protection of whooping crane parents, which makes them even more vulnerable as they are introduced to the wild with its predators and man-made dangers.
For an exclusive view of these remarkable animals and the professionals who prepare them to thrive successfully in the wild, LPB producer Donna LaFleur and photographer Rex Q. Fortenberry followed alongside the LDWF staff members as they worked with the cranes. Fortenberry even donned the required crane costume to disguise himself and his camera to capture the arrival of the young birds to the White Lake Wetlands Conservation Area and throughout their release into the Louisiana marshlands south of Gueydan.
Additionally, LDWF biologists wore cameras strapped to their chests while interacting with the birds, giving viewers an intimate look at the young cranes and how they relate to their costumed caretakers, and revealing how staff members approach issues like medicating the birds and achieving dominance over cranes that might challenge their authority.
"The main purpose of the costume is to disguise the fact that we're people underneath the costume. We think that the best chances to succeed in the wild is to not be comfortable, not be used to being around people. They don't see us; we don't speak around the birds," said LDWF biologist Sara Zimorski.
Among those appearing in the documentary are LDWF administrator Bob Love and LDWF biologist Sara Zimorski; assigned to the Louisiana whooping crane reintroduction project, Zimorski began working with cranes as a young intern at the International Crane Foundation in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Research Leader Sammy King, Ph.D., and Research Associate Tandi Perkins from the Louisiana Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit also provide commentary; King talks about the biological characteristics of the whooping crane, while Perkins follows the cranes after their release, using satellite transmitters to track their location in the wild.
"This is at least a 20-year project; it's not going to happen overnight. So, but we intend to stay the course and we think we're going to be successful," said Love. "If you ever look a whooping crane in the eye and see their determination and their visual acuity, and watch their behavior, you know that bird is going to uphold its end of the bargain."
Future episodes in the Alive! In America's Delta series explore Louisiana black bears, wildlife enforcement, and endangered species on land and in the water.
LDWF/LEEC would like to extend a very special thanks to LPB for their time and effort in promoting our prized Louisiana natural resources, in particular two of our threatened and endangered species, the whooping crane and the Louisiana black bear.
In addition, if you are either a formal or informal educator and would like your opportunity to help LDWF spread the word about our Louisiana cranes, please consider attending our "Give A Whoop!" teacher workshop on Saturday September 14, 2013 in Woodworth, LA.
Participants can expect a day of fun and learning at LDWF's beautiful Woodworth education facility south of Alexandria! Learn about the WHOOPING CRANE reintroduction program and the crane's amazing journey back from the brink of extinction! Geared toward teachers of middle and high school students (elementary level teachers are also welcome) and informal educators, these workshops will explain the complexities and challenges of the reintroduction program, demonstrate the new classroom lesson activities, and engage participants in field work related to habitat identification using GPS units. Participants will receive: 10 engaging, GLE aligned lessons, $75 stipend, GPS unit for your classroom, breakfast and lunch, and up to 7.5 CLUs.
So join us Saturday September 14, 2013 from 8 AM until 4 PM at Woodworth, LA. Interested individuals are asked to fill out the attached registration form and mail it, along with your $25 check to be reimbursed, to: Carrie Salyers LDWF 102 Magnate Dr. Suite 201 Lafayette, LA 70508

Ving Rhames is in talks to reprise his "Mission: Impossible" role as expert computer hacker Luther Stickell for "M:I-4," the actor confirmed to NBC's LXTV on Monday.
"We're discussing doing part four," he told LX.
Rhames, who has appeared opposite Tom Cruise in all three "M:I" movies, revealed last week he had to fight to keep his character from being killed off early on in the first film.
"Originally my character died in the first six minutes," Rhames told George Lopez. "I called Tom Cruise and [director] Brian DePalma and I said 'why is it the black man dies in every action movie the first six minutes?' Well, I'm about to do 'Mission:Impossible IV,' so cha-ching!"
Rhames is also set to star in "Pirhana 3D," a remake of the 1978 horror film that hits theaters later this month.
"I call it Piranha 4D. They do some technical things that I don't think we've necessarily seen in film yet," Rhames told LX . "No offense to Avatar, but I think we might be a notch better."

Our Middle Atlas Wool Yarn is processed and spun by weavers of The Anou Cooperative community. They use carders and long wooden spindles of their own creation to spin a bulky yarn that is used for weaving blankets and rugs. These handmade textiles are essential to surviving the snowy winters in the mountains where the weavers live. The yarn is made from a woolen preparation and spun with a woolen draft. After spinning, it is slightly abraded resulting in a yarn with a felt-like texture that is soft to the touch.
The sheep that provide the wool for this line roam freely on the slopes of Morocco's Middle Atlas Mountains, so you may find traces of vegetal matter in the yarn like bits of grass or burrs. However, the spinners do their best to remove these items! The yarn base is 100% natural with no chemicals or bleach used in its preparation. In order to safeguard the health of the artisans, our customers, and the environment, only people and planet-friendly products are used to dye this yarn.
Middle Atlas Wool Yarn is perfect for tapestry weaving and rug knotting. In Morocco, Middle Atlas wool is prized for its strength and known for its ability to produce rugs with minimal shedding.
This bulky yarn is also suitable for accessory and rustic outerwear knitting and crocheting. It results in a knitted fabric with good stitch definition and structure that will keep you warm and dry when worn over a shirt. You can find our free knitting patterns here.
This yarn is available for wholesale. Please contact us here.

We walked the sea
My boyfriend and me
As the children played in the sand
Winter cold cut the air
Hanging still everywhere
Until then did he say "Hold my hand."
We sat and watched as the sun was rising
Across a yellowish, orange horizon
He leaned over and whispered in my ear
The words he spoke were so dear
He said he loved me, but I didn't reply
For I didn't know if it was the truth or a lie
He said it again "I love you, I really do."
That's when I knew that what he was saying was truth
I replied with a smile, "I feel the same."
That's when he frowned and out the truth came
"I love you" he said "But this can't go on anymore."
"Since I last saw you I was drafted to go to war."
"I leave for six months on Sunday
Remember I love you and I'll be back someday."
He'd been gone for a year leaving me all alone
Yesterday I got a letter saying he's coming home
I waited at the airport for him to arrive
It killed me to find out he wasn't alive
My heart is broken I'm left all alone
The boy I love will never come home
