Our Program
Science & Technology Studies offers an interdisciplinary program of study focused on the critical role of science and technology in society, both past and present. Research in the field applies the methods and theories of the humanities, social sciences, and cultural studies to the examination of technology and scientific knowledge and practice.
Science & Technology Studies is particularly well positioned to provide analytical, critical, and historically informed insight to complex questions regarding science, health and engineering policy, intellectual property, expertise, ethics, and the public understanding of science. This field contributes to timely debates that bridge the academy and the world beyond it with a nuance that is often difficult to achieve from within traditional disciplines.
Our Students win scholarships!
Since the program began in 2009, 70 % of our PhD students have received external funding to support their studies from varied sources such as: SSHRC, OGS, Vanier, Trillium, Elia, Colciencias (Colombia), Tubitak (Turkey), NASA and Enbridge.

Dates and Deadlines
These include the Conference Support Fund, Thesis Support Fund, and Skills Development Fund. Applicants are eligible for funding from only one of these funds per year. Average funding is $100 per applicant and varies depending on the number of applicants.
Conference Support Fund
This fund is for students presenting at a conference. This fund is not for students who are only attending conferences and it is not meant to be a primary source of funding for conferences.
Thesis Support Fund
This fund is designed to help defray the costs involved in producing theses or major papers. Expenses covered under this fund include the costs of supplies, materials, and services expended on the project. Purchases of reusable/resaleable items such as computers, books, and journals will not be covered.
Skills Development Support
This fund supports projects that help students develop skills in relation to their programme of study. It is intended for practical, skills-based training programs not offered at York.
The Professional Development Fund provides funding to members in all Units to support them in attending and presenting at conferences, and with other professional development expenses.
A total of $125,000 is allocated to this fund for purposes such as assisting new employees (priority to those within first two years of employment) develop professional competence and ability, to assist employees in upgrading professional qualifications, and to help cover some of the expenses associated with presenting at conferences (airfare, hotels and such). The PDF does not cover capital costs such as equipment, software, stationary, and books, but does cover conference funding, professional development such as fees for courses/programmes/workshops.

The Switch Up Dance Challenge – Between the picture below and the press release posted by Vogue which says it's a marathon in "two rounds" – that could mean one of two things: that the first group of four does a marathon where the music/style changes in the middle, and whoever lasts the longest gets a 10 and it goes down from there. Then the second group does the same thing. OR, it could be that the four pairs dance as a team against the other team and the music changes once (hence the second round). But that latter option makes no sense. But the picture of them rehearsing together makes no sense either. So, I give up. I think it will be stupid either way.
The text with the picture tweeted by @DancingABC: "Monday, the couples will dance in two groups of four, to all different types of music in our Switch-Up Challenge!"

I've created a 512Mb partition on my HTC Desire's (running LeeDroid) SD card to store apps. When I used Windows, I'd never had a problem with this partition becoming read-only, unreadable or corrupted.
Since I switched to a Mac, this partition got corrupted several times. Somehow, I thought it was LeeDroid's fault, and didn't blame it on the Mac.
I installed Cyanogenmod on the Desire to overcome this problem, but the ext2 partition on the card still kept getting corrupted. I read on the Cyanogen's forums that Linux and OSX automatically mount the ext2 partition when the phone is plugged in, causing the partition to become corrupted, and then this made sense.
Question: Is is possible to prevent OSX from automatically mounting the ext2 partition on Android phone's SD card?

As much as I like Yelp, it leads me to a topic that calls for a discussion – choosing a bike shop. Don't always believe what you read in Yelp, and that includes comments about bike shops.
I'm pretty sure every bike shop with a Yelp review has multiple dings (low star ratings) from upset shoppers. I'm not surprised. Bike shops run the gamut from mom and pop hole in the wall to big business, like Performance.
A big disconnect here circles back to the reviewer. For some reason they go in with blinders on. Would they do that at a car repair shop? No way. I'd never take my beat up Mazda 323 to a high-end Mercedes shop for a repair. I wouldn't shop for an affordable car at the Jaguar dealership.
Casual cyclists who walk into any bike shop somehow expect they'll receive the same level of service and the same products being offered. Take a look at the bikes. Do you see rows and rows of bikes that look like yours? If not, you're in the wrong shop.
That's not to say a high-end shop will refuse service to repair a junker (although some do), or that a low-end shop will ignore a performance cyclist, although performance cyclists are more likely to know where to go.
While the biggest oversight is between what the shop sells and what the buyer needs, next in importance is sales support. Let's face it, bike shops don't cater to the Saks Fifth Avenue or Nordstrom crowd.
Nobody in the bike shop business is getting rich. They can't hire lots of sales people. On Saturdays when shops are busiest, don't expect instant service. If that's what you want, go on a weekday morning after the shop opens.
Most bike shops operate one step away from chaos. Handling a million different requests and trying to support the myriad bikes in the market is a big reason why shops specialize.
Remember, look around at the bikes being sold and compare them to what you ride. If they match, the shop is probably for you. Get to know the people who work in the shop by first name and you'll get their attention. It's human nature.
Unlike Saks or Amazon, a bike shop is still a place where you can get to know people and make a connection. It's those customer friendships that make owning and patronizing a bike shop a worthwhile endeavor.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Kristal Jones, a doctoral candidate in agricultural economics, sociology and education in the College of Agricultural Sciences, and Nicole Laliberté, a doctoral candidate in geography and women's studies, have been honored as co-recipients of the 2013 W. LaMarr Kopp International Achievement Award for graduate students.
The award recognizes graduate students who have contributed significantly to the advancement of the international mission of the University. It is named in honor of the late deputy vice president for international programs.
After serving in the Peace Corps in Senegal, Jones came to Penn State to earn a master's degree in rural sociology. She helped develop a dual-degree graduate program in international agriculture and development, of which she plans to be one of the first graduates. Her research involves evaluating the social impacts of a participatory plant breeding project that provided improved sorghum and millet varieties to farmers in Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali through the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics.
Through a National Science Foundation grant, Jones attended an intensive course at the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines and has helped other Penn State students do the same. She has helped plan a campus-wide food security conference, to be held this spring, and she serves on the Ag2Africa board in the College of Agriculture and as the graduate mentor to Engineers Without Borders.
"Kristal believes she has a responsibility to those who participate in her research," one nominator said. "She is dedicated to sharing her findings with the farmers with whom she interacts and collaborating with them to explore potential possibilities to alleviate the difficult conditions in which they live."
Laliberté came to Penn State in 2006 and earned a master's in geography. Her dissertation research concerns human rights development programs that focus on rural women's empowerment. After a year of ethnographic data collection, her research took her to northern Uganda for more than a year, with follow-up visits for longitudinal research.
"Her talent for narration makes her presentations on post-war Uganda some of the most lively and engaging at domestic and international conferences," a nominator said. "Her generosity in teaching, research and mentoring demonstrates how researchers and teachers can carefully and effectively foster global understanding."
She has served as a teaching assistant on two Penn State study-abroad programs — "Feminism and Global Activism: Service Learning in Tanzania" and the pilot Global Program's "Parks and People Program: Field Course in South Africa," where students learned about and researched the country's ecology, political and social history of apartheid and land restitution efforts.

One of my favorite Japanese fabrics is Nani Iro by Naomi Ito. I first discovered it on a trip to Japan last May. Imagine my thrill when I first started working at Purl and discovered that we carried it too! I have been (im)patiently waiting for the past few months for her new line to come out, and I wasn't disappointed. On top of a beautiful collection of fabrics, Naomi Ito has put out a book, Nani Iro Pattern Book, with patterns using her fabric.
This book features clothing for both women and girls, as well as a few accessories. Nani Iro is a double faced gauze fabric, which lends itself nicely to loose, flowing pieces versus highly tailored clothing. None of the patterns have zippers, and only a few have button or hook enclosures.
I made two dresses with the fabric.
This dress is the one on the cover of the book. It's a loose fitting tunic dress that could be worn over pants or a skirt.
One of my favorite things about this pattern is how she uses the selvedge motif along the collar and hem.
This simple tank dress is so comfortable I never want to take it off! It's a slip dress with no fasteners to get in the way.
If you'd like to make a few of the beautiful patterns featured in Naomi Ito's lovely book but feel daunted by the task of working with a Japanese sewing pattern, please visit my Japanese Pattern Drafting Tutorial for directions. –Mari

2008 National Book Award Winner: The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family
Congratulations to Annette Gordon-Reed for winning the 2008 National Book Award for non-fiction.
Annette Gordon-Reed
The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family
W.W. Norton & Company
"In the mesmerizing narrative of Annette Gordon-Reed's American family saga, one feels the steady accretion of convincing argument: Her book is at once a painstaking history of slavery, an unflinching gaze at the ways it has defined us, and a humane exploration of lives—grand and humble—that "our peculiar institution" conjoined. This is more than the story of Thomas Jefferson and his house slave Sally Hemings; it is a deeply moral and keenly intelligent probe of the harsh yet all-too-human world they inhabited and the bloodline they share."

There is also a table of Port Vintages of the Last Half-Century on page 60, but since I am not able to reproduce tables in the code required for the Board (due to my lack of skill, I suspect), I can only reproduce the information and not the layout:A Handbook of Wine by William J Todd, published by Jonathan Cape in 1922 Chapter IV "" The Wines of Spain and Portugal "" Page 54 "" The Wines of Portugal wrote:
While the vineyards of France are for the most part on gentle slopes, the black grapes from which Port Wine is made grow on the rocky terraced hills of the mountainous regions of the Douro in the north of Portugal. Port is now defined, by formal agreement incorporated in a Treaty of 1916, as 'a fortified wine produced in the Douro region and exported through the bar of Oporto.' No wine not answering to this exact description can be sold now as Port, even with a qualifying name, as, 'Tarragona Port.' The grapes are tipped into shallow granite troughs and trodden by the trabalhadores. At a certain stage in the fermentation the process is checked by the introduction of Brandy. The newly-made wine is run off into vats. When the wine falls bright (the cold winter weather of these regions helping to this end) it is racked from its lees. A second racking is given in the warmer spring weather, and the wine is stored in casks.
The three classifications of Ports "" Vintage, Ruby, and Tawny "" need a word of explanation.
Vintage Ports are the finer wines bottled young (i.e. when about two years old) and matured in the cellar. It is these wines that have really made Port famous in England, as, being bottled thus early, they retain the vintage character and full fruity flavour, ruby colour, and fine bouquet. In the process of maturing in bottle they form the well-known crust.
Only years in which climatic and atmospheric conditions have been favourable to the perfect ripening of the grapes and successful harvest have any chance of coming into the category of 'vintage years,' for under such circumstances alone can the wine be expected to possess the necessary fruit and flavour and sufficient fullness of body to throw the firm crust in the bottle. The consumer, if he would consult his purse should buy Vintage Ports early "" that is, as soon as the wine merchants have bottled them. A further advantage, which every regular Port buyer knows, is that it is better for the wine to be thus 'laid down' and kept in the buyer's own cellar, free from disturbances of any kind, to be opened at the owner's discretion or that of his successor.
To preserve the true vintage character all Vintage Ports should be bottled within a period "" varying with the particular vintage and wine "" of from two to four years from the date the grapes were gathered. Purchasers should always assure themselves as to the bottling date before taking delivery of Vintage Ports.
Ruby Ports stand half-way, in character as in treatment, between Vintage and Tawny. They are good wines, kept in wood for some time before being bottled. They may be of one vintage or a blend. They have lost some of their depth of colour and strength in the wood, but have more body and colour and character than Tawny.
A Tawny Port is a Port that has been slowly maturing in wood instead of in bottle. Ports so stored lose their deep red colour. They are more suitable for consumption in hot climates, but many people in the United Kingdom prefer them to the vintage varieties.
It is a curious fact that whereas Sherries were formerly largely shipped to India "" a hot country "" on account of the benefits that accrued to the wine either through the motion of the boat or the effects of the change of temperature, Ports are sometimes shipped to cold countries, such as Newfoundland, and stored there for several winters in the very cold and bracing climate. They thus become extremely soft and free from such qualities as are supposed to be conducing to gout, etc. At the same time they retain their freshness and characteristics of true Port.
Decanting Port. When a Port is decanted the white splash on the punt-end of the bottles should be kept uppermost. The decanter must be dry and clean. If not dry, rinse it out with a little "" a very little "" of the wine. The bottle must not be shaken, even when the cork is withdrawn. If the cork breaks or there is any dust, use a strainer or piece of muslin, but avoid either, if possible. Do not allow any sediment to pass into the decanter. In a well-bottled Port the wine will usually pour out bright to the last. Wine only recently received from the merchants should be stood upright if wanted for immediate use. Stand the wine upright for, say, twenty-four hours in the dining-room to enable it to acquire the temperature of the room. By this means, any crust that may have slipped will also settle. At any rate, all old vintage wines ought to be decanted two or three hours before being consumed. This will allow the wine to develop its bouquet and flavour "" to expand them, as it were, after its long confinement. The same remarks apply to all old-bottled wines, whether Vintage Ports or not.
Besides the Ports shipped from Oporto the Lisbon red wines, of a similar type to Ports, grown in the neighbourhood of Lisbon, are also well known. Since the Treaty also referred to, these wines have been largely sold under their proper denomination of 'Lisbon.' Generally speaking, they are not so good as the wines from the Douro, as their lack their fine qualities, but some of them come up to the standard of Port of fairish quality.
Port is sold, like Champagne, under the name of the shipper or merchant-shipper. Among the well-known Oporto shippers may be noted:
Butler, Nephew & Co.
Cockburn, Smithies & Co.
Croft & Co.

About Asbestos Awareness Safety Training for OSHA and NIOSH Compliance
Asbestos safety and awareness is still a major concern in our industry, especially as older buildings are coming under the wrecking ball, or are being remodeled.
Three of the major health effects associated with asbestos exposure are:
- lung cancer
- mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer that is found in the thin lining of the lung, chest and the abdomen and heart
- asbestosis, a serious progressive, long-term, non-cancer disease of the lungs
This information is taken from the Federal EPA Website
Asbestos is an extremely strong and fire resistant fiber. For that reason it was used as a flame retardant in building materials including pipe wrap and insulation. It was also used extensively in manufactured goods, including door gaskets and automobile clutches and brakes. It is also a major health hazard when airborne
Making sure your employees are properly trained on the identification, hazards, and health concerns surrounding asbestos is not just critical, but is the law. As an employer make sure you have a OSHA safety plan, and a safety training program in place. (1910.1001(j)(7)(i))

There will be no wedding this year for Iggy Azalea and fiancé Nick Young.
The 25-year-old Australian rapper and the NBA player got engaged last June at his 30th birthday party. His proposal came days after Azalea canceled a planned arena tour. In an interview on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show "On-Air With Ryan Seacrest" Friday, Azalea said she plans to tour at the end of the year, which has delayed the couple's nuptials.
"I'm planning my wedding, actually moved my wedding 'cause I have to tour so my wedding plans are changing," she said. "It was going to happen at the end of the year but now I have to go to work so we'll probably have to wait until the end of the next basketball season to do that. So that kind of is a bit sucky, but it's all right."
U.S. & World
Young, Azalea said, is "really awesome and great and totally understanding and does not mind" postponing their wedding.
"He wants to be, like, he's like, 'I can be a bachelor for longer' and like, he's really milking it, he's really milking the whole thing," she said. "So he's really happy. Any time he wants to like, go out with the boys, he's like, 'This is my last summer being a bachelor!' So he likes that."
In a recent interview with Schon! magazine, Azalea talked about how wedding planning, working on her second studio album, "Digital Distortion," arranging a world tour and dealing with negative press made her feel overwhelmed, saying, "I had to have a psychotic break-down last year. I felt tired and stressed out. Now, I feel like my energy's been renewed."
"This wedding was ready but I think that's it's, you know, my last tour I canceled, I had a lot going on," Azalea told Seacrest. "I just felt like the last time I got to a point where I was kind of burnt out on the music, by the time I got around to touring, 'cause my album had been out for over a year. I don't want to have a risk of that happening again."
Azalea said her new album is set for release in June. The first single, "Team," the rapper's first new track in almost a year, dropped Friday.
"It would be really nice to tour, you know, August, September, October, and have that music be fresh and have me still be in love with it and performing it and everybody having a good time," she said.
Meanwhile, some of the wedding planning has been completed; Azalea said has already picked out her dress. Last year, she teased on Instagram a sketch of a bride wearing a Giorgio Armani Privé creation.
Not unlike most grooms-to-be, Young cares only about two aspects of the wedding, according to Azalea.
"Nick only cares about the food and we're not up to that yet," she said. "He's like, 'Just tell me about the food. When we get to food, let me know and other than that, I do not care.' Food and music."
The two had already booked their honeymoon, Azalea said. "Now our honeymoon's just going to be our vacation and then I'll pick another honeymoon," she said.

Drake took the stage present her with the award. During his introduction of her, Drake said he loved Rihanna.
He recalled the first moment he met the Barbadian singer — in 2005, while working as an extra on her "Pon de Replay" music video. He commended her fashion and her ability to remain true to herself.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Drake Just Surprised Rihanna With Literally the Biggest Gift Ever
"We love the music, which can change styles from album to album," he said. "We love the videos which change their artistic vision from year to year. But most of all, we love the woman who hasn't changed from day one."
He continued, "She's someone I've been in love with since I was 22 years old. She's one of my best friends in the world."
"All my adult life, I've looked up to her, even though she's younger than me," he said as the crowd roared. "She's a living, breathing legend in our industry. Ladies and gentleman, the recipient of the 2016 Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, Rihanna."
Rihanna, who couldn't hold back her ear-to-ear smile, then took the microphone to thank MTV and her fans. But she also wanted to take a moment to thank her country.
"This is such an amazing night. It's such an amazing moment in my career," she began. "When I think about the Vanguard Award and receiving this tonight, all I could think of was my country. They're going to be so proud This is the first Vanguard to land anywhere close to my country."
She continued, "My success, it started as my dream. But now my success is not my own. It's my family's. It's my fans'. It's my country's. It's the Caribbean as a whole. It's women, it's black women. So many people feel like they're little piece is such a major part of this puzzle. And I have to thank you guys for supporting me over and over."
Rihanna joins many other huge names in the industry who have also taken home the prestigious award, including: Madonna, Beyonce, Kanye West and Britney Spears.

Tennessee 'Turn Away the Gays' Bill Feels Heat from Memphis Chef
Bill would allow business owners to refuse service based on religious beliefs.
Feb. 17, 2014 -- A Tennessee senator is under fire from a celebrity chef and other members of his district, after sponsoring a bill that would allow business owners to refuse service to gays.
Critically received Memphis chef Kelly English this week offered to host a political fundraiser to unseat Sen. Brian Kelsey after reading that the Republican party member had sponsored Senate Bill 2566, which would allow individuals or religious organizations with "strong religious beliefs" to refuse goods and services that further same-sex unions in Tennessee. It is commonly being referred to as the "Turn Away the Gays" bill.
"I learned about it probably 120 seconds before I posted my reaction on Facebook," chef English told ABC News in a phone interview on Friday. The proprietor of Restaurant Iris and The Second Line is married and straight, but he considers himself a proponent of human rights.
"It's crazy to me that people can still think this way in 2014," said the chef, who feels such bills reflect poorly on the state of Tennessee and foster an impression of intolerance in the South. "Some people have reacted to my announcement saying that I spoke out when I had nothing to gain and a lot to lose, but I disagree. If there is a lack of equality, as a species we all lose."
In addition to chef English's public statement, a petition by other community members has been launched seeking to reject the bill.
"We've seen this attitude before, and it represents one of the darkest times in our Nation's history," reads the online petition. "It's time to send a simple message to our State Legislators - we, as Tennesseans across the state in rural, urban, and suburban areas, will not stand for this. We will call it what it is - bigotry."
Senator Kelsey's name has since been removed as the sponsor of the bill.
"I've heard mixed views from my constituents on this issue, and while I still believe in protecting the differing religious views of everyone in my district, I have decided not to sponsor this particular piece of legislation," he said in a statement released by his office.
But just because Sen. Mike Bell, of Riceville, is now the sponsor, English isn't backing off of Kelsey, who serves as chairman of the senate judiciary committee that will discuss the bill on Feb. 18.
"He's the one who presented the bill," said English. "I can take my name off of the restaurant but it's still my restaurant."
"I don't think this a fair representation of Tennessee," he added. "The 'new South' encompasses everyone: It's straight and gay."

Lemon Turkey with Couscous Stuffing
"For a special-occasion main dish that's perfect for a small family gathering, try this moist tender turkey breast with its unusual dressing," suggests Kathi Graham of Naperville, Illinois. "Lemon and garlic flavor the meat, while raisins and shredded carrot add sweetness and color to the couscous stuffing."
Total TimePrep: 15 min. Bake: 1 hour 25 min. + standing
Makes8 servings
- 1 bone-in turkey breast (4 to 4-1/2 pounds)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1-1/2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup uncooked couscous
- 1 medium carrot, shredded
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- Carefully loosen turkey skin, leaving it attached at the back. Combine the oil, lemon juice, garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper; spread under turkey skin. Place turkey to one side in a shallow roasting pan coated with cooking spray.
- For stuffing, in a bowl, pour boiling water over couscous. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes or until water is absorbed. Add the remaining ingredients; toss to combine. Spoon stuffing into other side of pan, shaping into an 8x5x2-in. mound. Cover pan and bake at 325° for 45 minutes.
- Uncover turkey; leave stuffing covered. Bake 40-50 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 170°. Cover turkey with foil and let stand for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with stuffing.

This thread is for discussing the setting in which the main RP will be set up.
This thread is temporary; it will be locked once a final consensus has been reached. Further changes to the environment can be done through story or request; this is merely for setting the foundation.
First question; Keep setting or not? I actually have an in-depth setting in mind that I'd like to suggest. I could have sworn I had collaborated with Sniper on this, but not only does he not remember, but I can't find the files that I could have sworn I saved. I won't post the idea within the first post because I'd like to encourage others to voice their ideas to this thread.

I got a nice award recently — for environmental leadership the inscription read — really, for just doing work I was paid for and that I often confused with fun.
I've always been a little uncomfortable with awards. I got in trouble as editor of a military newspaper in the 1960s when I editorialized that medals were so common that if you didn't get one, it meant you must have screwed up.
I was forced to cut my hair, shine my shoes and iron my uniform, all for a two-minute dressing down by the commanding officer (but of course I still received my Good Conduct Medal when I got out).
Nowadays, my misgiving with awards is that there are so many environmental stalwarts out there who deserve recognition, but seldom get it.
In that vein, I have been thinking lately about Russ Brinsfield and Ken Staver. Given what they have done for the Chesapeake Bay, they are surely two of the most un-awarded folks there are.
Both are farmers and agricultural scientists in Maryland. And both are something more unusual — farmers and agricultural scientists who were willing, early on in the Chesapeake restoration, to cross battle lines and work with ecologists and environmentalists.
And battle lines there were, and to a degree still are. The sentiment in Maryland's ag community when the restoration was beginning in the late 1970s was that you shouldn't even link farming to water pollution. And Maryland was hardly atypical.
We've come a way from that mind-set. No one argues that runoff from agriculture is the Bay's single biggest source of polluting nutrients — in large part because it's the biggest human use of lands that drain to the Chesapeake Bay.
Even now, too many agricultural officials and scientists still aren't facing up to our toughest issues, such as what to do with large excesses of animal manure in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Virginia.
But Maryland farmers have made huge progress. This winter they will be planting cover crops across about half a million acres. Grown without fertilizer, these crops have one major purpose — to suck up excess fertilizer left after the fall harvest before it makes its way in subsurface runoff into the Chesapeake.
Farmers in Maryland will thus keep an estimated 2.6 million pounds of polluting fertilizer out of the water. That's significant when one considers that the total nutrient reduction needed, from all sources in all six states in the Bay watershed, to meet 2025 goals is in the neighborhood of 80 million pounds.
It's a major achievement, and it comes from what has been perhaps the most difficult part of the puzzle, the runoff from millions of acres of cropland across 64,000 square miles.
And it would not have happened without Brinsfield and Staver, whose science for many years was an uncomfortable fit within their own communities of farmers and Maryland ag officials.
One key to their accomplishment was working early in their academic careers with Bay ecologists at the University of Maryland's Horn Point lab, where researchers were trying to understand what was killing the Bay's underwater grasses.
Staver convinced his professors there — none of whom had been looking at the Bay when it was cleaner — that the slime coating the underwater grasses he was examining was not normal. Fueled by fertilizers from farms and sewage, it was blocking vital light from the grasses.
Brinsfield recalled how his dad planted winter crops on their dairy farm in Dorchester County to feed cows and stop soil erosion. They didn't fertilize it, and its bright green growth meant, Brinsfield realized decades later, that it was pulling leftover fertilizers from the soil.
Beginning in 1984, the two began a classic series of studies on lands of the university's Wye Research and Education Center that documented how cover crops could pull as much as 40 percent of the leftover nitrogen fertilizer out of farm fields before it escaped to degrade rivers and the Bay.
Ironically, the work highlighted just how fundamentally "leaky" fertilizers were, even on a well-managed farm. Their research was not initially what one would call a career booster within the university's College of Agriculture.
But cover cropping is now an established practice in Maryland, although not nearly so well in other Bay states. Brinsfield heads the Hughes Center for Agro-Ecology, which pursues the noble task of marrying farming and environmental protection. Staver continues to do research in a similar vein at the Wye center.
Both still to run their own farms, and both continue to publish and speak forthrightly about where farms still need major improvements to meet clean water goals.
To me, Russ Brinsfield and Ken Staver exemplify the very best of science: combining rigorous research, hands-on experience and a passion for their subject — and a willingness to speak honestly about it all.

Synonyms: Arachis hypogea
Other names: Groundnut
Family: Fabaceae - Legumes
The peanut, also known as the groundnut and the goober and taxonomically classified as Arachis hypogaea, is a legume crop grown mainly for its edible seeds. It is widely grown in the tropics and subtropics, being important to both small and large commercial producers. It is classified as both a grain legume and, because of its high oil content, an oil crop. World annual production of shelled peanuts was 42 million tonnes in 2014. Atypically among crop plants, peanut pods develop underground rather than aboveground. It is this characteristic that the botanist Linnaeus used to assign the specific name hypogaea, which means "under the earth." [Wikipedia]

HttpCore is a set of low level HTTP transport components that can be used to build custom client and server side HTTP services with a minimal footprint. HttpCore supports two I/O models: blocking I/O model based on the classic Java I/O and non-blocking, event driven I/O model based on Java NIO.
The blocking I/O model may be more appropriate for data intensive, low latency scenarios, whereas the non-blocking model may be more appropriate for high latency scenarios where raw data throughput is less important than the ability to handle thousands of simultaneous HTTP connections in a resource efficient manner.
HttpCore components strive to conform to the following specifications endorsed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the internet at large:

Have you noticed how often news articles and blog posts refer to archives as dusty, musty places filled with similarly dusty, musty collections? Here are a few quotes perpetuating the dusty, musty myth about archives:
"I lifted the lid of a sere and dusty gray box; a box unexceptional among shelf upon shelf of sere and dusty gray boxes…"
"An archivist enters, pushing a cart that bears a dozen dusty gray boxes."
"…the search happens in finding aids, the archival stacks, and the dusty boxes."
"When people think of archives at all, they think of mouldering files in forgotten basements…"
"Leaving Cloister of Dusty Offices, Young Archivists Meet Like Minds"
"Musty Archives Shed Light on Democracies at War"
Invoking the name of T.R. Schellenberg, a revered mid-20th century American archival theorist and writer, one archivist responded to the seemingly endless litany of dusty mustiness with this Tweet, "Whenever you use 'musty' [or 'dusty'] in an article about Archives, the ghost of Schellenberg kills a kitten." (Brad Houston, University Records Archivist, University of Wisconsin –Milwaukee, @herodotusjr)
Houston's response, though couched in humor, affirms a truth rarely revealed in the quest for a snappy headline or catchphrase: archives and the collections they preserve are usually pretty darn clean. As these shots of our storage areas show, one would have to search long and hard to find the dust and must so ubiquitous in those articles and blog posts.
Occasionally an archives will acquire a collection that was not stored in clean conditions and requires cleaning or rehousing. If researchers are provided access to such a collection before that work is done, they might indeed encounter some dirt or dust. Or a very small or severely understaffed and struggling archives might lack the resources to perform such work. But those are the exceptions. Far more typical are the well-maintained collections and facilities that disprove the myth of the dusty, musty archives. Come visit us – we promise you won't get dirty!

On the AnyExample.com website, there's a new tutorial showing how to create an XML-based website that uses XSLT for its templates.
XML and XSLT technologies provides standard ways of separation of presentation and data. This article contains an example of simple php "xslt engine" for XML driven web-sites which implements caching techniques and Apache-based XML file processing.
They start by setting up the web server to parse all XML file requests through a handler script using Apache's directives. Following thi ssetup, there's three code blocks, one for each of the "moving parts" of the sample application - the XML content, the XSLT template to style it, and the PHP to bring them both together.

By APCNews MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, 30 December 2003
The convening by ITU and its partners of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) is a major achievement for all those who believe that information has long been the missing element in the development equation.
It is the first Summit to take place in two sessions – the first in Geneva in 2003, the second in Tunis in 2005. The Summit was carefully prepared by a series of regional meetings – with all sectors represented. And global preparatory commissions which are led by governments. The problem with Summits of this kind is that governments must agree to the principles and action plans that emerge from them well in advance of the meetings themselves.
ITU set up a bureau specifically to facilitate civil society participation. Civil society achieved a victory in the February, 2003, Prepcom2 by getting some content included in the official drafts to be considered again in September. But then in the later Intersessional meeting, many of the issues regarded by civil society as key were omitted from the working documents for the Declaration of Principles and the Action Plan, despite the stress put on them by the civil society submissions. The discontent increased in the September, 2003, Prepcom3 meeting, where the civil society press release stated that if the final Declaration of Principles and the Action Plan did not reflect social priorities instead of market-based ones, civil society would not lend credibility to the Summit nor its results.
For the Summit itself, the Communications Rights in the Information Society (CRIS) campaign organised a day of debate within WSIS in Geneva to ensure that civil society voices are heard, and other groups, mostly from outside the process, decided to organise an alternative event, parallel to the Summit. The many civil society groups believe that the Summit documents do not reflect the fundamental inequalities that govern the global information society, and prepared their own declaration of principles, at variance with the official documents. The processes was not perfect but civil society made itself a force to be reckoned with in the most global ICT game in town.

There are few things in the world more visually stunning than a vineyard in the mercurialy pathos-laden clutches of autumn. Autumn in and of itself seems perennially notable for the broodingly poetic emotions it evokes, from the compellingly beautific and austere brilliances of Basho's haiku:
Autumn moonlight–
a worm digs silently
into the chestnut.
to the heart-rendingly blunt heartland realism of James Wright:
I think of Polacks nursing long beers in Tiltonsville,
And gray faces of Negroes in the blast furnace at Benwood,
And the ruptured night watchman of Wheeling Steel,
Dreaming of heroes.
All the proud fathers are ashamed to go home.
Their women cluck like starved pullets,
Dying for love.
Their sons grow suicidally beautiful
At the beginning of October,
And gallop terribly against each other's bodies.
Now overlap the sundials with your shadows,
and on the meadows let the wind go free.
Command the fruits to swell on tree and vine;
grant them a few more warm transparent days,
urge them on to fulfillment then, and press
the final sweetness into the heavy wine.
Whoever has no house now, will never have one.
Whoever is alone will stay alone,
will sit, read, write long letters through the
and wander the boulevards, up and down,
restlessly, while the dry leaves are blowing.

LANCASTER - The son of Dallas Police Chief David Brown killed a Lancaster police officer and another man during a Sunday melee that left three people dead, according to a law enforcement official.
David Brown Jr., 27, was himself shot and killed by officers, according to the official.
A law enforcement source who is familiar with the case and who asked that he not be identified said Brown had been behaving erratically at the apartment complex where the shootings occurred, in the 900 block of River Bend Drive near West Pleasant Run Road in southern Dallas County.
Wearing boxers, sunglasses and no shoes, Brown apparently killed a man who had just pulled into the complex in his car with his wife and children.
A short time later, he shot and killed Craig Shaw, a five-year veteran of the Lancaster police force who was the first officer called to the scene.
"This community has lost a good officer, a very good officer. We are heartbroken," Lancaster Police Chief Keith Humphrey said.
Shaw, 37, a father of two, was the first Lancaster officer fatally shot in the line of duty.
The other man who was killed was 23-year-old Jeremy Jontae McMillian, according to the Dallas County medical examiner's office.
The law enforcement official who has knowledge of the case said that about 5:40 p.m., a car driven by McMillian pulled into a parking lot at the complex.
McMillian, a family man with two jobs and no criminal history, was accompanied by his wife, an infant and another small child. They were headed to his sister's house for Father's Day dinner.
It is unclear whether McMillian knew Brown.
A man later identified as Brown approached the driver's side and fired a couple of rounds, striking McMillian in the neck and head. The gunman fired several times more at the driver's side of the car, narrowly missing McMillian's wife and children.
Carmena Henderson, 27, a long-time friend of McMillian's, said he attended A. Maceo Smith High School in Dallas. She said he worked at a Lancaster auto repair shop and a Dollar General store.
"He's never been in trouble a day in his life," she said. "He goes to work, he comes home. He just had a baby. He don't run in the streets, that's not him."
She said McMillian's son was born about a month ago and that he had appeared to be particularly happy in recent days.
"He was an innocent bystander that got killed for no reason," Henderson said. "This is all senseless."
After shooting McMillian, Brown stalked back and forth to his apartment at least twice, the law enforcement source said. Brown eventually retrieved a rifle from the trunk of a Dodge Stratus, then got into the Stratus.
As sirens began to sound with the approach of police, and as bystanders were yelling and screaming, he backed the car out and began to leave the apartment complex.
Shaw, the first officer there, tried to stop Stratus after witnesses told him the shooter was driving away, the law enforcement source said.
Brown then stopped, got out of his car, and fired at the officer's car.
Shaw returned fire, firing many rounds.
It is not clear if Brown was hit at that point, the law enforcement source said. Brown then got back in the car and began firing again from inside the vehicle.
Shaw was hit in the head.
Other officers, who by then had arrived on the scene, returned fire, striking the Brown repeatedly. He died at the scene.
"Officers responded to the apartment complex and started looking for the shooter," Kim Leach, a Dallas County sheriff's department spokeswoman, said earlier. "At the time, the suspect turned and shot one of the officers, killing him. Another officer returned fire at the suspect and shot and killed him."
Earlier in the day, there had been a call regarding Brown causing a disturbance at the swimming pool at the complex.
Humphrey said Shaw was one of the top-rated officers in his department, a "well-liked, very caring, very giving, selfless, hard worker … [who] lost his life defending the citizens of Lancaster."
Witnesses described a chaotic and confusing scene.
"I just heard lots of quick shots - you know, like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, you know - that's all I heard," said River Bend apartments resident Pat Miles. "I jumped down on the floor."
Throughout the evening, dozens of area residents remained gathered beyond crime scene tape. Officers were seen embracing one another at the scene.
There appeared to be three crime scenes in different areas of the apartment complex. At one scene, a vehicle was covered in blue tarp and an unmarked police car could be seen a short distance away.
A second scene, near the swimming pool, appeared focused on a red sport utility vehicle. The third scene, at the rear of the complex, was centered on a white four-door vehicle that appeared to have crashed next to a Dumpster.
Officers from several area police departments were assisting in the investigation.
Chief Brown could not be reached. First Assistant Chief Charlie Cato, Brown's second in command, confirmed the death in a prepared statement, which he read late Sunday night at Dallas police headquarters.
The chief said in an interview earlier this year that he was proud of the way his son, also a father, grew after a 2003 incident where he was arrested on suspicion of selling marijuana.
"I'm much more impressed when you make mistakes, how you respond to it," Brown said in May.
At the time, he said his son was gainfully employed.
For Brown, the death of his only son on Father's Day is the latest in a line of personal tragedies.
In 1988, his police academy classmate and former partner Walter Williams was fatally shot in the line of duty. Three years later, his younger brother, Kelvin Brown, was killed in the Phoenix area by drug dealers.
Brown, who also has two daughters, has said increased crime in his native Oak Cliff neighborhood played a key role in leading him to become a Dallas police officer in 1983.
"We don't know all of the facts of the incident at this time," Cato said in his statement. "Chief Brown asks that the Dallas community keep his family in their prayers this evening and in the days to come as his family tries to comprehend the circumstances surrounding this tragic incident."

Peter T. Ginaitt remembers the smoke filling the sky as his fire truck crested the hill on Bald Hill Road. Dr. Michael J. Dacey remembers the smell ...
Peter T. Ginaitt remembers the smoke filling the sky as his fire truck crested the hill on Bald Hill Road; he thought it was fog until he rolled down the window.
Dr. Michael J. Dacey remembers the smell, of smoke and soot and burned flesh, as dozens upon dozens of patients filled the emergency room at Kent Hospital in Warwick.
Lois H. McCoy, an occupational therapist, remembers the quiet � how calm and orderly it was at Rhode Island Hospital�s burn center in Providence the next morning, as legions of focused caregivers went about the business of healing.
Whatever their memories, the medical professionals who helped the victims of the Station nightclub fire 10 years ago have one thing in common: they will never forget.
One memory is universal: the skillful and diligent cooperation of hundreds of people who faced an extraordinary challenge that Thursday night.
�Everybody just literally became this big cohesive unit, jumping in and just working,� recalls Betty Morgan, a nurse in the Kent emergency room. �I don�t think I�d ever seen anything like that � how everything just fell into place, everything moved, everything was fluid.�
�You have a lot of people that rose to the moment,� says Dacey, an intensive-care specialist who is now chief medical officer at the Care New England hospital group. �You always think one person has to be in charge. There were like 30 people in charge; you had a team in front of every person.�
�When you�re asked to do your job, you do your job. It isn�t until after the event that it really starts to sink in,� says Ginaitt, then a Warwick firefighter and EMT and now director of emergency preparedness for the Lifespan hospital group.
Also universal is the pride in the result. Everyone who got out of the burning West Warwick nightclub survived that night. Ninety-six people � those who couldn�t escape within three minutes � died inside. One died in a Boston hospital eight days later, and three others succumbed to severe burns in the subsequent weeks and months.
But that night, all the patients got what they needed on time � tubes down the throat to help their seared lungs breathe, lots of fluids to replace water escaping through damaged skin, painkillers dispensed in quantities no one had seen before. At Kent, the pharmacist carried morphine syringes in a bucket and handed out a month�s supply in one night.
The Station fire, however, was a wake-up call for the state about the need for better communication, especially between emergency medical teams and hospitals. A total of 16 hospitals in Rhode Island and Massachusetts saw Station fire victims, but none had advance warning of how many to expect and some didn�t even know that burn patients were coming till the ambulances pulled up.
Rescue vehicles from all over converged on the Cowesett Avenue site and took patients wherever they saw fit. In most cases, that meant the nearest hospital, Kent in Warwick, which received 82 patients, admitting 21 and transferring 18 to burn centers. But with better coordination, some could have gone to other hospitals or directly to burn centers. At one point Kent ran out of ventilators and had to use hand-squeezed bags until patients were transferred, Dacey said.
Rhode Island Hospital � which unlike Kent has a trauma center and had the ability to treat severely burned patients � received 68 patients (some were transfers from other hospitals), and admitted 43. Dr. William G. Cioffi, chief of surgery at Rhode Island Hospital, realized his hospital was getting more severely burned patients than it could handle. He turned to a friend for help, telephoning a Massachusetts General Hospital burn surgeon at home as he was packing for vacation.
Ten patients went to Massachusetts by helicopter from four different hospitals, occupying all the medical helicopters available in New England.
Meanwhile, the EMTs doing triage at the scene had no idea how many rescues were coming. �The last thing in the world I wanted to see was the last [rescue] unit pulling away and I�d still have 40 people in the triage area,� said Ginaitt, who started organizing triage as soon as he arrived at the scene, working with Leo Kennedy, then a captain and now deputy chief in the Cranston Fire Department.
After receiving the first patients, Cioffi heard a false report that another wave was on its way, so he transferred several more patients to Mass. General. The second wave never materialized � and not until the next morning did Cioffi learn that other hospitals had also been sending patients to Boston. Massachusetts General ended up with 17 burn victims.
Today, much has changed, spurred in part by the Station fire, but also by national efforts to improve disaster response in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Now, communications systems can reveal the location of every ambulance, every patient and every empty bed in Rhode Island.
Now, all the hospitals, fire departments and police departments use the same radio system. Computers in every rescue truck statewide give each patient an identifying number, tracking where the patient ends up. An Internet-based system monitors capacity in every hospital and emergency room, with the goal of ensuring that none gets overwhelmed, whether it�s a bad flu season or a mass casualty.
The fire also spurred Rhode Island Hospital to become a verified burn center, meeting the standards of the American Burn Association. Although the hospital had four burn surgeons on staff and often treated burns, the Station fire experience prompted a renewed focus on burn care. The hospital also launched a burn survivor�s support group.
National systems have also improved. If there�s another similar disaster, Cioffi says, he won�t rely on personal connections for help. He�ll call the American Burn Association, and it will coordinate the patient transfers.
While much was learned about disaster response, the medical care of burn patients has changed little, Cioffi said. The lessons from earlier disasters, such as the 1942 Cocoanut Grove fire in Boston, hold true today. And advances, like substitute skin grown in the laboratory, have not met expectations.
To accommodate the influx of burn patients, Cioffi converted the Rhode Island Hospital trauma floor into a burn ICU and burn ward. Two operating rooms were dedicated to burn care.
�A burn patient in an ICU is the most labor-intensive patient you can have in a hospital,� Cioffi said. The typical nurse-to-patient ration in the ICU is one on one. For burn patients, it averages 2 on 1, with as many as 6 people involved in dressing changes and other procedures. �They�re running at the very edge of their capacity to stay alive. You don�t have a margin for error with these patients.�
The last of Rhode Island Hospital�s burn patients left after 11 weeks in the hospital.
Donald Mildner remembers that man, though he hasn�t heard from him since. Mildner is a nurse who worked the night of the fire and who continued to care for burn patients in the ensuing weeks. The experience forged strong bonds among hospital workers, a sense of teamwork that continues to this day, he said. On a recent afternoon, four of Mildner�s coworkers in the trauma unit were nurses who had been on duty that night.
�There�s probably stuff we learned from that that we use every day,� he says. �It really made you an expert in taking care of a burn patient.�
Dr. David T. Harrington, director of Rhode Island Hospital�s burn center, thinks of the Station fire just about every day, when he passes two murals in the hospital hallway that depict hospital care in 1868 and in modern times. The mural isn�t presented as a fire memorial, but painters Lucia and Warren Prosperi quietly honored the fire victims� caregivers by asking seven of them to pose for the painting. Harrington was one of them.
Asked what he learned from the fire, Harrington has a ready and somewhat surprising answer.
�We oftentimes don�t know our true capacity,� he said. �I learned that people are remarkable. When people have a clear mission, when you allow them to do what they were trained to do, it�s amazing what people can accomplish. And it�s very strange to think that from that tragic event, that�s the feeling I walk away with.�
