So, Al bought an iPad yesterday. Don't ask me how I didn't see that one coming, because Al buys practically every gadget that comes along and has a particular affinity for tiny computers. But since he's not an Apple nerd in particular and has so far resisted the urge to buy an iPhone, when he said "Let's go look at the iPad," I actually believed we were only going to look. You'd think I just met the guy.
Anyway, it is indeed a cool little device. And what I like about it is pretty much what Laura Miller talks about in her review here — it's terrific for consuming all sorts of media — but because I wasn't excited enough to read a million reviews before it was released, I didn't realize some people thought that was a bad thing.
Between being a youngish (emphasis on the "ish") person and having a gadget geek husband (with a job that pays well enough for him to be one), I already consume practically all of my media via small, portable computers. Music comes from iPods and internet radio, not CDs and a stereo. We no longer have a proper TV or a cable subscription, and I can't tell you the last time either of us bought a DVD — we mostly watch Netflix, Hulu, Amazon on Demand and the like on our laptops or via a Roku box hooked up to a projector. And since I got a Kindle, I've pretty much stopped buying paper books unless they were written by friends or aren't available as e-books. (Also, you probably wouldn't have guessed this, but I read the internet a little bit every now and again.) As Laura says, a laptop can do all those things, but for various practical and emotional reasons, she's so far found the iPad preferable for non-work-related media consumption. I think I would too. After Al and I had messed around with it for a while yesterday, my overall impression was, "That's a really nice little entertainment delivery device" — like a TV or a stereo or an e-book reader, except all of those and much more. Which is kind of awesome.
But I forgot that nobody's supposed to be entertained without an opportunity to respond anymore, so apparently, just being able to watch TV and movies, listen to music, play games and read books, magazines, newspapers and the entire internet on one device that does all those things pretty damn well is not good enough. (Not that you can't interact with a lot of the above on the iPad, but it's not always as easy as it is on a laptop.) So this paragraph of Laura's really hit me:
The iPad may not be ideal for what the tech industry calls "productivity," but it's well-suited for the purpose I had in mind: absorption. Even the most creative individuals will tell you that they have to spend some time simply soaking up the world around them, including the work of other creators, or ultimately the well runs dry. Much techno-utopian rhetoric implies that devoting your whole attention to someone else's creation, sans interactivity, is necessarily a sad, incomplete, merely passive experience. Not only is that incorrect, it reflects certain troubling psychosexual attitudes about surrender and control that I don't even want to get into here. When people complain nowadays about not being able to think or read as deeply as they used to, they're not just acting like a bunch of old fuddy-duddies: They're noticing a genuine lack of substance, the threadbare sensation of living in a culture where everyone's talking and nobody's listening.
I love technology, generally speaking, and I don't like people who are all "Oh no! The internet is killing genuine human experience!" But I also don't like people who think that entertainment or art without a high level of interactivity is necessarily inferior to the new kind. That's a whole other post, but for now, let's just say that as someone who lives much of my life online, I'm actually finding it makes me appreciate passive media consumption — as Laura puts it, listening — even more.
Al and I spent last week in Toronto, where I lived about 2/3 of my adult life to date. Crossing the border meant the roaming charges were obscene, so we both turned off everything but the phone parts of our phones. Which meant that for 8 days, we couldn't e-mail, update Twitter or Facebook, end an argument by looking something up on Wikipedia, or read random internet shit unless we were actually in our hotel room with our computers. Now, everyone who witnessed the Sandra Bullock shitstorm knows I was online plenty last week — but I was also offline a LOT more than usual. Because these days, I am used to being online whenever I'm on public transit, when I'm out for dinner (yes, I'm that rude asshole, at least when I'm with my rude asshole husband), when I'm waiting for a movie to start or a friend to show up, etc. So when I realized I'd been out for hours and had no idea what was going on in comments on the Bullock post, for instance, I'd have a moment of panicky frustration before I remembered oh yeah, IT WILL STILL BE THERE WHEN I GET HOME.
I went more than 30 years without owning a smartphone, but it did not take long for me to become disturbingly dependent on one. And living without all those extra features for a week made me really conscious of how frequently that takes me out of the moment. Or, more precisely, it puts me in a different moment — I don't think constant internet access makes you fail to be present or engaged with your own life, as some would argue, but it can mean a lot of your life takes place in your head more than your body.
Sometimes, that's a wonderful thing, especially for people who for various reasons can't be physically present everywhere they might like to be, or who find it much easier to be social this way. But for me, the blessing and the curse of it is, I spend much more of my life than I used to thinking about what I'm going to say next. I'm composing a comment in response to what I just read instead of sitting with it; I'm having "chats" with friends where there can be no pleasant silences without one of us wondering if the other is still there; if I'm observing the world around me, half the time I'm thinking, "How do I make this a funny tweet?" When I was writing for Broadsheet, I read other feminist blogs desperately looking for fodder, rather than just taking it all in because it's smart and interesting — which is exactly what got me interested in them and made me want to start my own in the first place.
All that thinking up something to say gets fucking exhausting. Which is ultimately a big part of why I gave up daily writing for Salon, and why I've been so absent around here for so long. (After a day's work, I'm supposed to think up even more things to say?) And one of the things that made me realize I needed to make a change was that I became obsessed with TV. Like I said, we don't have cable or a proper TV, and part of the reason for that is because we just weren't watching enough to bother. It wasn't a big part of our lives. But over the last few months, I would finish work and just want to sit there for hours watching Hulu/Netflix/Amazon stuff — whatever was available to stream and looked remotely interesting to me. I've found a few shows I really love that way (Leverage, In Plain Sight, Better off Ted, the sadly long ago canceled Kidnapped), but I also watched a hell of a lot of crap TV, two straight seasons of 21 Jump Street in a weekend and about a million episodes of Law & Order I'd already seen. Because all I wanted to do after thinking up shit to say all day was sit there and let someone else tell me a story that was easy to follow and demanded no response.
I really do love writing online and talking to other people about what they're writing and what I am. But man, I also really do love sitting on my ass and letting someone else do all the thinking. I didn't realize how much I missed that when I was in my honeymoon phase with the blogosphere and totally delighted by all these new avenues for interaction with enormous numbers of people.
I also love reading and writing fiction, neither of which I've been doing much of all this time; another reason I gave for quitting is that I'm trying to get back into writing a novel. But getting into the mental space for that involves reading a lot of other people's work, as Laura notes, as well as sitting with my own work and getting no immediate feedback. It involves a hell of a lot more offline time, absorbing time, listening time — listening to other people and to myself far more closely than I can when I'm writing to deadline every day — so it's a surprisingly big adjustment, considering it's what I spent most of my time doing just five years ago. And meanwhile, I don't want to fall off the radar completely with my nonfiction and online stuff, so I'm still taking the occasional paid opportunity, trying (or thinking of trying) to blog here more, tweeting, commenting and working on personal essays that could go in a book. Which means not writing or reading much fiction, unless I can figure out a good balance.
That's what I'm trying/hoping to do right now. It's too early to really say how that's going yet. But I've written a bit of fiction without checking e-mail every ten minutes, I'm reading more books and watching less TV, and that week without a smartphone was surprisingly instructive. It will all still be here when I get back.
I travel a lot, usually with my Kindle and netbook. And I usually work while I travel. When I first considered whether I might want my own iPad — thinking mostly of traveling with it — I thought, "It would be nice to have everything on one device*, but I don't think I'd like working on it." Right now, though, I'm thinking that's exactly why I might want one. Because someday, I might take a real vacation again, go somewhere and not work at all, just explore and observe and maybe passively consume some entertainment on the plane or in the hotel. Just like I did until a few years ago, always carrying several paper books and maybe a cell phone that didn't do anything else along with me. I'm probably too far gone to want to go more than a day or two without internet access at all, and I'm okay with that.** But I love the iPad precisely because it reverses the netbook's priorities — it is ideal for absorption, not productivity. And if my TV binge taught me anything, it was that I need to work more absorbing into my life if I don't want to go completely off the rails.
So yeah, I kind of want one. Probably won't get one any time soon, because they ain't cheap. But it is a really cool little entertainment delivery device. And I think that's all the recommendation it needs.
Also, if you don't see me around here? It's generally safe to assume it's because I'm feeling the need to do more listening than talking. That's all.
*Yeah, I could read Kindle books on my netbook, but I really don't like that as much.
**Unless someone wants to offer me a free week on a beach somewhere I can't possibly get it. I would take that, just for the record.

With an apparent deal with the devil lurking in his past, biker-turned-grim-reaper Mr. Grimm may be the most shattered of all the game's automotive combatants. This clip puts his weapons and attacks on display and hints at what drives the dreadlocked bad-ass. Developer David Jaffe's car carnage fest is due out for the PS3 next Valentine's Day.

Our History
History of CARE
Publication info
Our origins
CARE was founded in 1945, when 22 American organizations came together to rush lifesaving CARE Packages® to survivors of World War II. Thousands of Americans, including President Harry S. Truman, contributed to the effort. On May 11, 1946, the first 15,000 packages were delivered to World War II survivors in Le Havre, France.
These early packages were U.S. Army surplus "10-in-1" food parcels intended to provide one meal for 10 soldiers during the planned invasion of Japan. We obtained them at the end of the war and began a service that let Americans send the packages to friends and families in Europe, where millions were in danger of starvation. Ten dollars bought a CARE Package and guaranteed that its addressee would receive it within four months.
When the "10-in-1" parcels ran out, we began assembling our own food packages, greatly assisted by donations from American companies. At first, senders had to designate a specific person as the recipient, but soon CARE was flooded with donations to send CARE Packages to "a hungry occupant of a thatched cottage," "a school teacher in Germany," and so on.
Later packages included carpentry tools, blankets, clothes, books, school supplies and medicine – and we expanded delivery to other regions in need including Asia and Latin America.
CARE Package phased out
Decades ago, we largely phased out the CARE Package as we expanded the breadth of our work to focus on long-term projects in addition to emergency relief. However, the CARE Package remained a powerful symbol of the compassion and generosity of those who support CARE's vision of a world free of poverty and suffering.
CARE today
Today, CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. We place special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. Women are at the heart of CARE's community-based efforts to improve basic education, prevent the spread of HIV, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and protect natural resources. CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters, and helps people rebuild their lives.

I played my first game of The Pillars of the Earth today with 3 other people. I had a question about the King's Court which was not specifically addressed in the rules. If I have already placed a Master Builder there, may I place a second (or even third?) there in order to potentially "force" other players to have to pay taxes? Doing say may result in them losing victory points if they can't pay, so I thought it was an interesting strategic possibility. The owner of the game has only played a couple times, and also only with 2 players, so he hadn't come across the situation before.
I know that often, there are likely better opportunities to take which will result in a greater net gain for yourself than that loss for your opponents, but I was wondering if it was at least possible. The decision we came to was that it wasn't explicitly stated in the rules that you couldn't so we allowed it as a possibility, though no one took it in the game. Is this allowed?

Mesoraco knocks in six as Cueto cruises to 14th win
Catcher hits pair of homers; righty strikes out nine in eight innings
CINCINNATI -- Sunday proved a pretty memorable afternoon for a guy who was supposed to have the day off.
Devin Mesoraco tied a club record with his third grand slam of the season as the Reds rolled to a 7-2 victory over the Marlins at Great American Ball Park. Cincinnati took the final game of the series, stayed above .500 (60-58) and remained within shouting distance of the National League Central-leading Brewers.
Had Brayan Pena not been nursing a tender left hamstring, Mesoraco might not even have been in Sunday's lineup. Pena had been the starting catcher for 20 of right-hander Johnny Cueto's previous 24 starts this season.
"I figured I would be starting with Brayan [injured] and the off-day Monday," Mesoraco said. "We're going to need him healthy pretty quick."
Miami starter Brad Hand (2-4) had matched Cueto into the fifth inning, when the game was tied at 2-2 after solo homers from Giancarlo Stanton and Casey McGehee sandwiched around a two-run homer from Mesoraco. But then the left-hander lost the strike zone.
Hand walked Ramon Santiago to lead off the frame, then Zack Cozart followed with a single through the left side. Cueto's sacrifice moved the runners up. Kris Negron was retired on a shallow fly ball to center, but Jay Bruce worked the count full before walking to load the bases. Todd Frazier also walked on a 3-2 pitch, forcing in the go-ahead run.
Up came Mesoraco, who turned on Hand's 2-1 pitch and sent the ball sailing into the left-field seats. Mesoraco's 20th home run of the season widened the gap to 7-2.
"I'm just up there trying to stay calm, get the pitch I'm looking for and don't miss it," Mesoraco said.
He certainly appeared calm until arriving at a dugout full of high-fiving teammates.
"I'm definitely excited, but I'm not going to jump around or skip or fist-pump or anything like that," Mesoraco said.
Some free tutoring doesn't hurt, either. Mesoraco recalled a conversation with Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench that had taken place a day earlier.
"I picked his brain a little," Mesoraco said. "He suggested I relax my hands a bit more."
Chris Sabo (1993) was the last Reds hitter with three grand slams in a season. Mesoraco's six RBIs marked a career high.
Sunday's offensive outburst came at an opportune moment for the Reds, who had scored two runs or fewer 11 times in 22 games since the All-Star break.
Cincinnati grabbed its first lead of the series, 2-1, when Mesoraco's two-run shot bounced off the roof of the Reds bullpen in left-center in the first. Bruce, the only left-hander in Cincinnati's starting batting order, had singled two batters earlier.
Cueto (14-6) made the lead stand up, as he extended to 12 his streak of starts not allowing more than three earned runs. Even a hard bouncer off his right rib cage in the third inning didn't slow down Cueto, who struck out nine over eight innings of five-hit, two-run ball.
"It was itching a lot," Cueto said through interpreter Tomas Vera when asked about the injury.
Manager Bryan Price's club was certainly itching for a win.
"That was a game we needed to win," Price said. "We needed to get a good feeling back."

Those who remember the Warren Court recall imaginative renderings of the constitution to expand criminal's rights coupled with outright judicial hostility to police. The result was a national crime wave only recently curbed by new police techniques and more favorable rulings from the Supreme Court.
Now that Barack Obama has identified Earl Warren as a model judge, we could face a judicial flashback to the 1970s. Unfortunately, we have a preview of what that might look like from a recent Sixth Circuit case involving a drug arrest in Michigan.
The suspect, Lonnie Ray Davis, was pulled over for violating a Michigan law prohibiting "dangling ornaments" that obstruct a driver's vision. Davis had a 4" Tweety Bird statue dangling by a 3" string on his rear view mirror.
When he was pulled over, Davis admitted he had no drivers license, and was arrested. A search revealed an open pint of Hennessey Cognac, a stun gun in his waist, 2 baggies of crack cocaine in his sock, four rolled up wads of cash in his pocket, and a loaded .380 pistol under the drivers' seat.
So, we have Tweety Bird, open booze, no license, two weapons, illicit drugs packaged for sale, and the apparent proceeds of prior sales. What were the honorable judges of the Sixth Circuit worried about? Tweety Bird, of course! You just can't trust those cops, the judges concluded, to tell the difference between a dangling Tweety Bird ornament (not allowed) and a parking pass (ok). Even though Davis' lawyers had not even raised the point, the judges struck down the Michigan "ornament" law finding it too vague to trust police with enforcing it.
Beyond the facial absurdity, the case is a classic example of judicial activism. First, courts have a duty to avoid raising constitutional issues unless they are necessary to decide the case. Here, the court bent over backwards to decide a constitutional question that no one raised or even discussed. Second, the judicial gymnastics appear designed to undermine Supreme Court case law that allows police to pull over drivers for minor traffic violations even if the "real" reason for the stop is a belief that the driver is a drug runner. If you can't pull over cars festooned with Tweety, then police have fewer tools to stop potential drug dealers.
Heritage's Todd Gaziano has previously spelled out that the opinion's author, former Chief Judge Boyce Martin, is known for mischief that would make even the most strident activist blush. GW Law Professor Orin Kerr has more on this at the Volokh Conspiracy for those interested in the technical legal doctrines of which such silliness is composed. For the rest of us this case is a sobering reminder that some judges actually believe there is more to fear from a Michigan Township Policeman than from a liquored-up, armed, well-stocked drug dealer illegally operating a motor vehicle.

Despite it having long disappeared from US cinema screens, Wreck-It Ralph has only just made his way across the Atlantic to the UK in the past month. To celebrate his arrival we take a look at the development of two apps from Disney Publishing: Wreck-It Ralph Storybook Deluxe and Hero's Duty, an interactive comic book that fleshes out the back story of Sergeant Calhoun and others from her virtual world. Shane Lindley and Carlotta Quattrocolo, multimedia producer and executive editor respectively at Disney Publishing Worldwide, agreed to tell us more about the apps and the development of the world of Wreck-It Ralph.
GeekMom: Where did the initial inspiration for the Hero's Duty and Wreck-It Ralph Storybook Deluxe apps come from?
Carlotta Quattrocolo: Everything started during a meeting with the Studios. We were looking for new opportunities to work together (Publishing and Studios) and we agreed that the characters involved in the Hero's Duty storyline had great potential to be exploited in new stories. And considering the target age of the game and the themes involved we decided to go with a comic format to be used both in print and digital with an interactive version.
Shane Lindley: We wanted to make a Storybook Deluxe unlike any other, where we worked hand in hand with the filmmakers to tell the story of Wreck-It Ralph in a fully interactive format that really pushed what a mobile device can do. As soon as we saw an early screening of the film, we knew we had to make the fully realized version of Sugar Rush, with Gumball Alley, Ice Cream Mountain and all the other locations!
GM: Are you a big video game players yourselves? If so what games have you enjoyed playing in the past? CQ: I've never been a big player. When I grew up I was more involved in building my Robin Hood LEGO's or reading. And every time I tried to play with the big video games of the time I failed miserably and decided to get back to my bricks and books.
SL: Yes! I grew up with Sega and Nintendo, but now I find myself playing a lot of games on my iPad like Where's my Perry?
GM: Did the prequel information from the Hero's Duty comic always exist or was it a later addition to the overall story? CQ: The comic story was created by our Global Magazines team based in Milan with the help of a scriptwriter who usually works on all of our graphic novels and comics based on movies. We sent some concepts to the Studio, got their feedback and suggestions and the final story is the outcome of the great collaboration.
GM: If Hero's Duty were real, it looks like a game that would be aimed at an older audience than Wreck-It Ralph's audience; did you feel that you had to tone down the concept at all to fit the younger viewers?
CQ: I think that Disney movies are usually for families of all ages. Taking the game outside of the context would definitely position it for an older target. That's one of the reasons why we decided to use comics and not a picture book, which are usually developed for a younger target. However, we need to consider that the movie is set in an arcade and you would expect to find games for different audiences so that all consumers would find something to play with.
GM: Do you think Hero's Duty could ever be fleshed out into a stand-alone video game and brought to market?
SL: Totally! That's the awesome thing about video games – if you can imagine it, you can create it!
GM: Do you have anything else you'd like to tell us about working on Hero's Duty and Wreck-It Ralph?
CQ: Writing or supervising the creation of a product related to a movie is always great, especially when it's as powerful as Wreck-It Ralph. However creating a prequel such as Hero's Duty is even better as you can put something of yourself in the story and feel part of a much bigger creative process than just the retelling of the original story. In this case, as the cherry on top of the cake, we also worked on an interactive version of the comic that allowed us to use the technology, animation and sound/music to recreate the experience and atmosphere of the movies in an app.
SL: Of all the apps I've produced, Wreck-It Ralph Storybook Deluxe is one of my favorites. It has more animations, interactivity, music, dialogue, and SFX than any other app of its kind. It was a tremendously ambitious project that I am really proud of our team creating, and we couldn't have done it without the help of Rich [Moore - Director of Wreck-It Ralph] and the Studio team.
And some questions from the GeekMom kids:
Why didn't you include more of Sonic the Hedgehog?
SL: He's so fast, we had trouble keeping up with him!
Where did the Sugar Rush idea and all the characters come from?
SL: Eating lots of candy and playing plenty of Japanese video games. It's a tough life being an app producer!
Hero's Duty Interactive Comic and Wreck-It Ralph Storybook Deluxe are available on the Apple App Store and Android market for $1.99 (£1.49) and $6.99 (£4.99) respectively. Copies of both apps were provided free for this interview.

The power and energy output of a wind turbine is a cubic function of the wind speed. Doubling the wind speed can mean a substantial increase in the energy output, thereby improving the economic viability of an installation. It is vital to assess the wind power potential of a site with as much accuracy as possible, taking into account seasonal as well as year to year variations in the local wind climate.
The standard way to assess the potential of a site is to measure the on-site wind conditions carefully and consistently for at least a year. Since wind conditions can vary significantly from year to year, measurements are usually correlated with measurements taken at a nearby site, for which a longer-term record is available. The measurements at the site of interest are then 'corrected' for the long-term trend.
At the time of assessing the wind energy potential of the site of Mt-Crosin East, Jakob Vollenweider, of the Swiss utility company JUVENT, considered an alternative option. In addition to a short-term measurement campaign, he commissioned a CFD analysis of the wind conditions on the site, which, together with a long-term data set at the meteorological station of Chasseral a few kilometers away, allowed construction of wind potential maps in the area of Mt-Crosin.

After a pretty impulsive lecture today i've decided to be a little more structured for the next one (in other words prepare more).
9/20's lecture is going to be titled Limit Theory and Epsilon-Delta Proofs. I will be expanding on the concept of a limit briefly discussed in my previous lecture, I will provide a bunch of examples for the existence and non-existence of limits, provide the listeners with definitions and theorems for use in solving problems involving limits.
Please note that although this is a higher-level algebraic topic, i will try to make it as accessible as possible to students at a lower-level.
The lecture will be held 9/20/2010 at 11pm EST. Check in on irc at irc.hackthissite.org #lecture for more information!
Hope to see you there.

Rene Lyman Morin passed away in Rock Springs, Wyoming on March 15, 2012 at the age of 91. Rene was born on September 26, 1920, in the high country of Blanding, UT to Edward Partridge Lyman and Irene Perkins Lyman.
She was a most lovely flower from the desert. Rene was an author, a poet, a composer, a teacher, a secretary, a pianist, and a beloved wife and mother. Her unselfishness and patience were unparalleled. She was bright, happy, energetic, full of hope, full of faith, and athletic. She filled home with music and song. She had tremendous endurance.
Rene attended both Utah State University and Brigham Young University, proving that Cougars and Aggies can get along. Rene also attended LDS Business College and Dixie College.
She was a wonderful model of charity and a great example of how to be a saint in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Rene served a full-time mission for the church, during which she met Arthur R. Morin, her future husband. They were an excellent pair. They were married in the Salt Lake City temple in October, 1948, and over the course of several years had 11 children. All 11 children (and their children's spouses) are still alive: Art (Norma), Brad (Cathy), Marilee (Roger Larsen), Julynn (Robert Simmons), Ed (Lorraine), Lynette (Jeff Moore), Ben (Deann), Burke (Christine), Chris (Connie), Charles (Kimber), and Carolyn (Wally Arave). At the time of her death, Rene and Art had 57 grandchildren (23 of whom had spouses) and 34 great-grandchildren.
One of her most memorable traits was her practice of leaving notes to herself in short-hand.
Rene's parents, all of her siblings (DeAlton, Kay, Edward – known as Bob, Almon, and Allie), and a grandson (little Wally Morin Arave), all of whom she loved dearly, preceded her in death.
Though we are thankful that her last years of hardship are over, we mourn Rene's passing yet rejoice in the faith that heaven has experienced a reunion of great joy.
Services were held March 24, 2012 at the Rivergrove Second Ward chapel in Provo, UT. Interment at Provo City Cemetery.

How do beavers shape Germany's Lower Rhine—and can we keep them from clashing with the people who live there?
Have a question?
How would you prefer us to contact you?
By EmailBy Phone
Help scientists discover everything there is to know about the beaver population in Germany's Lower Rhine region.
These expert builders were reintroduced in the neighboring Netherlands in the 1980s and have since made their way into the densely populated Lower Rhine. But researchers lack information on how many beavers live there, where they range, and how much they're interfering with human activities like farming, fishing, and waterway maintenance.
From boats or the shore, search peaceful ponds and streams for signs of beaver life, like lodges, dams, burrows in riverbanks, and gnaw marks—and, of course, for beavers themselves. You'll count those you see and observe their behavior. You'll also find out about the world they live in by sampling the soil and water and counting other species in the area.
Very little is known about the beaver population in this area, so you'll contribute to critical baseline data that will shape plans to manage beavers. Beavers are skillful manipulators of their environment. Their dams can cause floods, divert waterways, change the composition of the soil, and even help bolster fish populations. They nibble on crops and fences. Help make sure that plans to manage these potentially disruptive activities work for the beavers, too.
One beaver benefit: their presence is associated with a wider array of plants and animals in river habitats.
Beavers could become victims of their own success as their population booms in the Lower Rhine.
The strong beaver presence in the Lower Rhine tells a success story. After hunters nearly drove them out of existence in the region, beavers are remaking a home for themselves. But they could become victims of their own success. As the population grows and their range expands, they're bound to run afoul of farmers and watercourse managers. These researchers are seeking to create a picture of the status of the beaver population so they can work toward strong plans for managing inevitable human–beaver conflicts.
You'll help these researchers meet many of their objectives. They want to know how many beavers are in the District of Cleves and the size of their habitat. They also want to know more about how beavers interact with the environment—for example, what do they eat? Where are they digging canals and burrows?
These researchers are also investigating how beavers impact the people in the area.
They'll talk to locals to see if they've noticed damage and also try to get an objective read on how much beavers are actually nibbling on crops, say, or damaging dikes. This information will help develop management plans that work for people as well as beavers.
The District of Cleves offers the best of both worlds: the natural beauty of the countryside and the cosmopolitan comforts of city living. Here you can explore nature reserves dotted with lakes and forests, world-class restaurants, and a range of historical attractions. The Schwanenburg, a medieval castle that now houses a museum, dominates the skyline in the city of Cleves. Other nearby attractions include the Roman fortified town at Xanten and the medieval town of Kalkar, which still has an active traditional windmill.
The area is rich in German and Dutch culture (Cleves and Emmerich are just a few kilometers from the Dutch border). The people speak German, and many speak some English. You'll also hear lots of Dutch on the streets. You'll be close to many stunning cities, including Amsterdam, Brussels, and Dusseldorf, which makes this project the perfect jumping-off point for wider European exploration.
This is a summary:
Get ready to immerse yourself in beaverdom as you:
Throughout the expedition, you'll hear from the experts on staff about the research and its context, and you'll have some free time to explore the culinary and cultural attractions the region has to offer.
Dr. William Megill has researched jellyfish, whales, and otters and has led Earthwatch teams for more than a decade.
Your team will stay at a full-service hotel in Emmerich, a picturesque city on the banks of the Rhine near Germany's border with the Netherlands. Couples and singles rooms are available. From the hotel, you'll travel to study sites throughout the Lower Rhine region and to the project's labs at the Rhine Waal University of Applied Sciences in the town of Cleves.
The team will share breakfasts and dinners at the hotel and eat lunch at the university's dining hall or at local cafés and restaurants. You'll have your pick of many typical European and American foods and can try a number of local specialties, which include fine cheeses and sausages.

This was an excellent expedition. It was well organised. The training for each activity was easy to understand and activities were fun to undertake. There was a great team feeling generated throughout the expedition. There were many opportunities to see the beavers during the evenings. The hotel accommodation was easy to find from the railway station. The food was excellent with a good variety to things for breakfast. The evening meals were selected from a restricted menu. There was a good selection of meals from this menu. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful during our stay.
Great expedition which I would go on again.
Barbara Polk | Monday, July11, 2016
This project collects data on the environmental impact of beavers and what foods are needed to sustain them, looking to a day when they may need protection. We spent almost all our time in the woods around lakes identifying, charting, and measuring all trees and stumps in a 5-8 meter area around randomly selected points, recording any beaver marks (horizontal tooth marks on trees or stumps), and learning about beavers. At times this was monotonous, at other times fun, but the woods were beautiful, with lots of singing birds, so the time spent was enjoyable, and the beavers are fascinating creatures! We found evidence of beavers in two places they had not been known to exist, and, on a kayak/canoe trip, even saw a beaver during the day! When weather cleared up, we spent evenings sitting near beaver lodges at sunset, waiting for beavers to emerge, a peaceful and meditational experience. I was tremendously excited when I saw a beaver for the first time, after days of measuring trees! Later I saw several more. The small, family-run hotel was very comfortable; the food was good; and the staff pleasant and helpful. Professor Megill, the PI, provided varied picnic lunches each day, and entertained us with endless stories at mealtimes. Ph.D. student Margaret kept us on task and provided a wealth of information on beavers. This is an easy project. Though we walked 4-5 km round trip on a couple of days, the land is flat. Rubber boots can be bought cheaply there.
Robin Kerns | Thursday, November 19, 2015
Not taking a tree or leaf for granted. Studying a single leaf. Examining a tree stump.
Touching. Measuring. Discussing. Recording. Discussing further.
Perhaps the aforementioned activities sound trivial, meaninglessly time consuming, and perhaps irrelevant to life as a whole.
They are definitely not.
Trees, even a singular tree. Leaves, even a singular leaf. I will never view these the same again. What is in store for me next? Incredible that my time in Emmerich will remain so forever significant! Incredible that it has changed my life!
William is a master teacher, possessing the desire to patiently enlighten all.
William is a good man, opening his home to our group for for lunch and reprieve, for example, during a day of work in heavy rain. He cared about each volunteer. He cared about individual needs, including my dietary restrictions.
William is a global citizen, caring about the world with vigor and passion, knowledgable on so many levels, in so many areas.
William is a true world's scientist, seeing all existence as so deeply relevant. Awestricken, I saw a person for whom the data base of vast scientific knowledge appears endless. As I watched William take time to examine and study countless singular leaves and numerous tree stumps, I saw it as commentary: Every bit of nature matters. He possesses grand scientific knowledge. Yet a small, nearly weightless leaf is greatly significant. A true world's scientist.
Thank you, Earthwatch staff in Boston, for the professionalism and time.
Thank you, Stadt Emmerrich Hotel for being amazingly accommodating, down to my relationship with the wonderful chef.
Thank you Magda, university graduate level intern and great young scientist in her own right, with us every step of the way.
Thank you Claudio, graduate level assistant, for your wisdom and kindness.
Thank you, teammates--Gil, Pat and Junto. You are amazing and fabulous people. You helped make this experience exactly what it became...great.
Thank you, William. The significance of your conveyances will never be forgotten.

We were kept very busy on this project. One of the things you will learn is to identify tree species. I now know the species of trees in my local park. One thing I would have liked is to have a little time to explore the local towns. We did have one morning when the rain came and we were unable to explore the river. This time was used to visit two cathedrals in Kevelaer. A week is a short time for a project so I understand the need to spend as much time on the project.
One thing to remember is to have euro when you use the vending machine outside the Dusseldorf airport to buy your train tickets. The machine only accepts German credit cards and cash.

Tracking Beavers Through German Waters was a great expedition to participate in. Professor Megill and his staff of graduate students had a organized schedule keeping us engaged from morning to evening. We received training on field observations and utilized our newly learned skills in helping collect data along several lakes. I fully appreciated the suggested clothing list while walking through stinging nettles and thick vines with thorns. Long sleeved shirts and heavier trousers are a must! I had no idea collecting environment and tree data would be such a challenge. Several members of our team had great knowledge regarding tree identification. We learned from each other sharing knowledge and our experiences.The day we spent canoeing down the Niers River gathering field data was a lot of fun. Several members of our team did not have much experience paddling. At times, some of our canoes where circling in place or going backwards, causing us to laugh. On our observation trips at dusk, we were amply rewarded as all members of the team saw beavers leaving their lodges or swimming across the lake. It was interesting to visit Professor Megill's laboratory at the Rhine Waal University of Applied Sciences and view several projects the students were working on. As a bonus, we visited the Rhinewald Cemetery from WW II and spent a few hours in the city of Cleves allowing us to check out a historic castle and museum. The accommodations in Emmerich were very comfortable.

It was a great expedition : I tramped through forest and marshes measuring habitat, kayaked on rivers collecting evidence of beavers, observed the industrious animals in the evenings and learned a lot about them and their impact on an urban environment. The accommodations were quite comfortable and the meals were very good. William Megill, supported by Margarete and Katria, was an outstanding leader, providing a wealth of information about beavers and other animals they have studied, keeping us engaged and creating a fun atmosphere. We worked pretty hard, saw a bit of the historic countryside and the fascinating submarine lab, and had quite a few laughs, particularly about a new species of zom-beavers (kidding). My only criticism is that 7 days wasn't long enough but Emmerich is a convenient jumping off point to central Europe.
Thanks to our leaders and my team.
This was my sixth expedition and I've already signed up for my seventh.

My wife and I recently completed Team 1 of Beavers which was our 15th EW project. As with most projects this was a very satisfying experience.
We are very careful about reviewing the E W briefing for every project and comparing what is described in the briefing with what actually occurs. William Megill, the PI met or exceeded every expectation from what was stated in the briefing.
The research was demanding and interesting with excellent instruction for what was expected of the volunteers. One of the highlights was kayaking on the River Niers for part of two days looking for signs of beavers.
Actually observing beavers on the critter cam as well as seeing them on a late evening field trip was rewarding. Entering our data in the lab was a challenge, but observing students at work on their submarine entry for the international sub races under the direction on Professor Megill made the lab work more interesting.
Most impresssive was the team work between Professr Megill, the volunteers and his graduate assistants. The work seemed to go like clockwork and was very satisfying.
The accommodation and food at the Stadt Emmerich Hotel were outstanding, probably the best of all of our EW projects.
We would highly recommend this project for your consideration. Please
contact us for first hand information about this project.
