Veteran attacked while trying to save dog
Mon., Feb. 21, 2005
World War II veteran Harry Goedde and his dog, Schatzie, were attacked recently by a dog and its master. (Liz Kishimoto / The Spokesman-Review)
By Tom Lutey toml@spokesman.com(509) 927-2179
There was a time when Harry Goedde, a decorated World War II veteran, took guff from no one. He wasn't cocky, just confident, a young soldier from Uniontown, Wash., willing to take a bullet for the right reason.
The young Harry Goedde would have righted a few wrongs in Valley Mission Park on Feb. 9, when the old Harry Goedde, 81, was slammed to the ground so hard by a young male. The impact of the older man's frame hitting the ground was so hard it blackened Goedde's right arm with bruises from wrist to shoulder.
The assault occurred because the unidentified man's dog had attacked Goedde's schnauzer. And Goedde, worried that his toaster-sized pooch was in danger, gave the larger attacking animal a few kicks.
"All of a sudden I saw this flash go by me and bam! He gave me one hell of a push. I must have gone about 10 feet. I landed between two trees and I couldn't figure out how the hell I got down there," Goedde said.
Splayed on the ground, Goedde, who stands about 5-foot-7 and weighs 178 pounds, felt around for his glasses while the assailant stood over him yelling "come on, I'll fight you. You kicked my dog, you kicked my dog."
Goedde called the attacker crazy for wanting to fight an 81-year-old man and rose as quickly as he could, hoping to get a good look at the assailant who blind-sided him.
But the man disappeared before Goedde fully recovered.
The attack was a shocking event for a man who survived the Battle of the Bulge in Gen. George Patton's 3rd Army and didn't go home until a sniper's bullet pierced Goedde's legs.
Goedde's an artist and he's chronicled the significant events of his life through stories and drawings. This latest drawing, though, isn't one he expected and wishes he could forget. On paper, he is a character untangling his dog from a tree as a black animal charges.
Goedde's attacker was a male, perhaps in his 20s, who was jogging with a woman of similar age near the horse stables at the park's northern end. And the dog that attacked Goedde's schnauzer, Schatzie, was black, muscular, not quite as big as a Labrador, and not wearing a leash.
The long-time Spokane Valley resident suspects the man and woman had driven to the park in a medium-sized red pickup. The truck was parked in the otherwise empty lot beside Valley Mission Pool when Goedde arrived and gone when he returned from his attack.
The dog shouldn't have been running loose. Leash laws in Spokane Valley require dogs to be leashed anytime they're not at home. The only exception would be if the animal was being kept at a friend's house.
There's no exception made for dogs that come when they're called, or never bite, or love everybody. It's a leash or a $76 fine and that's just the first time. It's $114 for the second offense within 12 months of the first. A third offense in the same time period is considered a criminal misdemeanor, not for the dog, for the owner, said Nancy Hill, director of Spokane County Regional Animal Care and Protection Services. SCRAPS serves Spokane Valley as well as the county.
It's the owner who has blown it when a dog runs loose, or scares or bites someone. The dog really doesn't pay until it starts attacking people, or other animals. By then the animal can be ruled dangerous and eventually killed.
"This is the time of year our complaints go up," Hill said. "More people are out. The weather's nice. Kids come home from school and don't lock the gate behind them."
SCRAPS posted leash signs in most parks to remind people. There have been problems of late with unleashed dogs in Spokane Valley parks, Hill said, specifically Terrace View Park on 24th Avenue, where Hill's officers have begun frequently parking just to make their presence known. She hadn't heard of anything as bad as Goedde's encounter because Goedde called Spokane Valley police, not animal control.
The police are more than willing to arrest Goedde's assailant, but they have little to go on. To that end, Goedde returns to the scene of the attack several times a day, looking for, as he puts it, the "Mack truck" that hit him. But he hasn't seen the black dog, or the assailant, or the girlfriend who stood and watched while an 81-year-old man was slammed to the ground.
"I walk down there at about the same time every day and I haven't seen them again, but I don't remember seeing them before, either," he said. "I'll keep looking."

A study of large-scale functional brain network organization and educational history, led by researchers at the Center for Vital Longevity (CVL), has identified a new biomarker of Alzheimer's disease. The findings, published online this week in Nature Aging, describe how declines in a measure of brain network organization precede cognitive impairment in older adults. Researchers also found that brain network declines are greater among individuals without a college education, suggesting that there are aspects of an individual's environment that may accelerate brain aging.
"What's exciting about this study is that we've identified a measure of brain function that seems to be sensitive to an individual's past and present environmental exposures during adulthood. That brain network organization is also uniquely related to the prognosis of dementia, which opens up the possibility of incorporating the measure with other markers of Alzheimer's disease risk and pathology in a clinical setting," says Dr. Gagan Wig, director of the Wig Neuroimaging Lab at the CVL and associate professor at The University of Texas at Dallas.
It is well known that older adults with lower education levels are at a greater risk of dementia. But it's unknown why some are more likely to develop dementia than others. The results from this study shed light on an important biomarker of clinical decline by showing that the trajectory of a person's brain network organization varies according to their educational attainment, and is a unique indicator of individual brain health during older age.
"We've been working on this measure of brain network organization for a long time, and we knew it varied in relation to age and cognitive ability, but we were unsure how it changed over time in individuals or whether this would relate to changes in their cognitive health. We now have evidence that changes in brain network organization have a relation to cognitive decline in older age adults," says the study's first author, Dr. Micaela Chan, a postdoctoral scientist in Wig's lab.
The study analyzed existing data that includes adults between the ages of 40 to 80, who received two to five MRI scans, and multiple clinical visits (the latter up to 10 years after the participant's last MRI). Researchers examined the relationship between the participant's education levels and changes in brain network organization over time while also accounting for demographics and various measures of health and pathology.
Brain network changes were evaluated in relation to the trajectories of clinical decline. While there are other known predictors of the development of Alzheimer's disease, such as a person's genetics and pathology, not everyone who has genetic risk or even the presence of pathology exhibits symptoms of dementia. However, the brain network measure changes observed in this study were independent of these other known risk markers, which suggests it contains unique information.
Importantly, the researchers found that the relationship between brain network decline and cognitive impairment was observed regardless of an individual's education, revealing that there are more specific aspects of an individual's environment that modify the brain's network organization.
"We used education levels as an indicator of an individual's environment because it represents things such as access to resources and health behaviors; although it is a coarse measure, it predicts a lot of important life outcomes," says Chan.
Establishing a link between education levels and specific brain changes during older age is not only an important step toward understanding environmental determinants of brain disease but could also lead to the discovery and incorporation of brain network organization as a biomarker of brain health
"We are now working towards identifying the specific aspects of an individual's environment that matter most for maintaining their brain network integrity. At the very least, this study reinforces the idea that education is a modifiable risk factor for older age brain health," says Wig, who is currently recruiting participants for a new study aimed at isolating the specific health, environment, and lifestyle factors that lead to the largest disparities in brain and cognitive function during adulthood.

High-sensitivity SEIRA sensors using passive trapping of analyte molecules

In a paper published in Light: Science & Applications, a team of scientists, led by Dr Peter Q. Liu from the State University of New York at Buffalo, have demonstrated a new type of high-performance optical sensor which can utilise the surface tension of liquid to concentrate and trap analyte molecules at the most sensitive locations of the device structure, and hence significantly enhance the sensitivity performance. Based on a metal-insulator-metal sandwich structure which also features nanometre scale trenches, the sensor can passively retain and concentrate an analyte solution in these trenches as the solution gradually evaporates on the sensor surface, and eventually trap the precipitated analyte molecules inside these trenches. As the light intensity is also highly enhanced in these trenches by design, the interaction between light and the trapped analyte molecules is drastically enhanced, leading to a readily detectable optical signal (i.e. changes in the light absorption spectrum) even at the picogram level.
In general, the absorption of infrared light is intrinsically weak, optical sensors can drastically enhance the molecular absorption by employing suitable nanostructures on the device surface to confine light into very small volumes (so called hot-spots), which leads to very large light intensity. In doing so, each molecule in the hot-spots can absorb much more light in a given time interval than a molecule outside the hot-spots, which makes it possible to measure very low quantity of chemical or biological substances with high reliability, if enough molecules are located in the hot-spots. This general approach is also called surface enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA).
However, a key issue for most SEIRA optical sensors is that the hot-spots only occupy a tiny portion of the entire device surface area. On the other hand, the analyte molecules are usually randomly distributed on the device surface, and hence only a small fraction of all analyte molecules are located in the hot-spots and contribute to the enhanced light absorption. "The SEIRA signal would be much larger if most of the analyte molecules can be delivered into the hot-spots of an optical sensor. This is the key motivation of our optical sensor design", Dr Liu said.
"There are techniques, such as optical tweezers and dielectrophoresis, which can manipulate small particles or even molecules and deliver them to target locations such as the hot-spots. However, these techniques require significant amount of energy input and are also complicated to utilise." Dr Liu added, "what we set out to explore is a device structure that can trap analyte molecules precipitated out of a solution into the hot-spots in a passive (requiring no energy input) and effective way, and we realised that we can make use of the surface tension of liquid to achieve this goal."
In addition to the demonstration of high-sensitivity biomolecule sensing, the team also conducted another set of experiments, which showed that the same type of device structure also achieved effective trapping of liposome particles (typically ~100 nm) in the tiny trenches. This means such optical sensors can be optimised for detecting and analysing nano-objects such as viruses or exosomes, which have similar sizes to the liposomes used in the experiments.
The team believes that the demonstrated SEIRA optical sensor design strategy can be applied to other types of optical sensors as well. Besides sensing applications, such device structures can also be used for manipulating nanoscale objects including exosomes, viruses and quantum dots.

As an author, you want to receive a fair price for your book. You've put in hours of hard work to get to the publication stage, and now that the book is ready, you must figure out the best price point for selling.
There is no hard and fast rule, but a good starting point is to research the prices of similar books on Amazon and in bookstores. Overpricing your book can be disastrous, but underpricing has its downfalls as well. Oftentimes publishers will put a printed price on the book cover, knowing that they plan to offer a discount for most of its selling history.
If you want your book to be sold in bookstores, pricing it too low may discourage bookstores from stocking it. Bookstores are interested in making a profit and if that profit is in pennies and nickels, then they are not going to bother with ordering your book. If your book is priced too high, of course there is the danger of making few sales.
Do you choose fewer sales and more profit or lots of sales and less profit? It's always a judgment call, but again look at your competition and, unless your book is vastly different, you can use your competition as a benchmark. Look at both highly popular books and moderately successful books.
On Amazon, the lower the book is priced compared to its retail listed price, the better the book will sell. This is because Amazon wants to beat the competition. A book that is listed for the full retail price probably has little or few sales. At the beginning, your book may not have a lot of sales, so you may want to go for the higher price point to bring in more income, if it's needed. Undercutting a book as a giveaway may not only undervalue its worth but may also create the perception that the book is not worth owning.
If you are working with a publisher, this problem will probably not be a concern of yours. Publishers must know the best price points in order to make a profit, sell a book well and ultimately stay in business. You can rest assured that they are constantly studying the fluctuating book markets and adjusting prices in order to compete wisely.

'I hear no more the busy beat of time…'
Classical Music Editor Stuart Millson comments expertly on a recent extraordinary performance of Sir Edward Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius.
The April edition of The Quarterly Review's classical music column contained the following article – an appreciation of a major British choral-orchestral work by Sir Edward Elgar.
"This is the best of me…" These were the words of Edward Elgar, the English composer who, in 1899 and 1900, emerged as our country's most renowned composer with two works, the Enigma Variations and The Dream of Gerontius – a setting of Cardinal Newman's poem about the journey of the soul – "Jesu, Maria, I am near to death…" into heaven and eternity accompanied by an angel. Elgar is sometimes compared to Brahms or Richard Strauss, as an English version of those two Germanic composers, and 'Gerontius' can certainly be likened at least to the idea of Strauss's symphonic tone poem, Death and Transfiguration. But Elgar's piece, which often seems operatic, or even in a visionary musical category of its own (rather than a tried-and-tested religious orartorio from the English provinces), uses for its near two hours of performance a large chorus, and three soloists: an English Parsifal, perhaps, or an element of William Langland's Vision of Piers Plowman in an intense Roman Catholic form.
The Wagnerian conductor, Hans Richter – who championed Elgar throughout his life – conducted the first performance on the 3rd October 1900 and described the Worcestershire composer as "…. this English genius", begging the performers at the 1900 Birmingham premiere to give their very best. Unfortunately, Elgar was plunged into one of his many depressions by the premiere: the performers were, by all accounts, under-rehearsed, and the mystical elation he craved eluded him – at least for a time. How Elgar would have loved to hear recent and modern recordings of his work, not least (for this reviewer) Sir Adrian Boult's outstanding version with the poised, blazing brass and silky strings of the New Philharmonia Orchestra, caught by the EMI microphones of 1975 on what must have been a day of great form and energy. How I hope that people in 200 years' time will still be listening to this music – and understand its tenderness, its awe-inspiring heights (and demonic depths), its Englishness – all projected from Elgar's own emotional heartland, ridged by the Malvern Hills.
Last month, I discussed these very ideas – the genius of Elgar, of what makes Englishness in music, and whether enough is being done to educate people (particularly the young) in classical music – with the conductor, Ronald Corp OBE, who was at that time preparing for a performance of The Dream of Gerontius with one of his "house" ensembles, the London Chorus. We met at a coffee shop near Regent Street on a cold February mid-morning – Ronald Corp, immediately enthusiastic and very warm and outgoing in manner, plunging into a stream of ideas, answers to my questions, and with some very amusing observations about music and musical life in this country.
A composer himself and a great enthusiast for English music, he has written a lyrical Cello Concerto (conducting his own work alongside the Herbert Howells concerto on the Dutton record label), numerous choral works, motets and very beautifully-realised settings of poetry - some with a strongly contemporary themes. He sees a great bond with Elgar. "Our choir, the London Chorus, was actually formed to give the first complete London performance of The Dream of Gerontius, way back in 1903.* Our founding father was a conductor called Arthur Fagge, a name from the heyday of London musical life in the days of Henry Wood, but which seems to have been forgotten over the years."
The maestro is very much attuned to musical links and connections, and sees a symbolic value in his project with the London Chorus. Despite championing new music, he also expresses some scepticism about certain contemporary trends in the arts: "Our 2015 Gerontius is a return to that heritage of the era of Arthur Fagge and Elgar, and a bond with the past. Too often today, contemporary works that are given just one outing are hailed as 'masterpieces' by some in the arts media, and that could be true, but how do we really know until something has stood the test of time? The first performance of Elgar's work was actually not a resounding success, and yet Gerontius has emerged over more than 100 years as a symbol of the English musical renaissance, and an immense and spiritual work almost unrivalled in the English repertoire."
Ronald Corp is very active generally in London musical life, having founded the New London Orchestra (which has many fine recordings under its belt – not least a series of British light classics), and also conducting the New London Children's Choir and the Highgate Choral Society. "I like to think that I run a permanent 'Three Choirs Festival'," remarks Ronald, "and I am immensely proud of all that we have done together. During the Diamond Jubilee, for example, we took over the Barbican for a concert celebration of our Queen's reign, and I conducted the Highgate Choral Society in another Elgar work from the turn of the last century, the Coronation Ode, which was written for Edward Vll. Despite more than a century having elapsed since those works of days of Empire, the greatness of his music speaks much to the audiences of today as it did to those people who lived in the quite different world of Edwardian England." Ronald was also inspired to write his own patriotic work for this concert, entitled This Sceptr'd Isle – a pageantry-filled setting of the famous speech made by John of Gaunt, from Shakespeare's Richard ll.
Ronald Corp also commemorated the anniversary of the First World War, and the pity of war, setting the words of a German poet, Gerrit Engelke, injured in the fighting and defying death, but eventually leaving this world before his time, as the composer explains: "We know so much about Britain's war poets, and we honoured them fully in our concert, especially in our inclusion of Elgar's For the Fallen from his Spirit of England, and the setting which we chose for our performance, the Chapel of the Royal Naval College, Greenwich. But little is known about what was going on in the trenches on the other side. I found the words of one German poet, and thought it would be interesting to show the war from another angle. It seems that war tends to have the same effect upon us all. I was very proud that my work formed part of our commemoration for the World War One anniversary."
But what of music education – why are children not being told about classical music in schools? Why are the names, Elgar and Vaughan Williams, unknown to so many young people – why do they know no hymns or folk-songs? "I – and many others – are trying to counter this, and there are some fine schools and teachers doing great work. But yes, it is a pity, especially when music of every kind is now so easily available. As to folk music, perhaps some of the ideas in some folk-songs, which are by definition old-fashioned and of the countryside, are not liked today – perhaps the idea of a lady or maiden fetching water, or hanging washing on a clothes line upset some people?" An amusing point, which certainly added some laughter to our coffee-conversation!
And so we come to the performance at St. John's, Smith Square, the conclusion of many rehearsals by the London Chorus and the New London Orchestra. It was clear to The Quarterly Review, and to the enthusiastic audience at St. John's, that the players had given us a performance of complete integrity, and passion. Live classical music is as much a physical experience, for the eyes of the onlookers, as it is a "listening pleasure", and throughout Ronald Corp's evening at the helm of Gerontius, his orchestral players – in their expressions and movements – showed their total immersion in their work. The London Chorus, too, sang with a love of the work which I have seldom seen; and it is clear that their loyalty to Ronald Corp is not in question. They gave him their very best, and how they soared and filled St. John's in the passage which follows the first appearance of the bass (in this performance, the commanding Samuel Evans) – in part one of Gerontius:
"Go in the name Of Angels and Archangels;
in the name Of Thrones and Dominations;
in the name Princedoms and of Powers;
and in the name Of Cherubim and Seraphim, go forth!"
Rising operatic star, Peter Auty, sang the tenor part of Gerontius (who becomes the Soul, in part two of the work) bringing concentration and passion, especially in that passage of swelling power and overwhelming ecstasy which begins with the Angel (a beautifully-clear Madeleine Shaw) singing: "We have now passed the gate, and are within The House of Judgement" – the Soul passionately replying and exclaiming:
"The sound is like the rushing of the wind –
The summer wind – among the lofty pines."
With such a moment to treasure and savour, it seems ignoble of me to say that during Part One, I felt that Mr. Auty (a truly fine singer) sounded – at times – as though his voice was not truly embedded in the role; and I have to say, that I missed the other-worldly, almost ghostly, Peter Grimes-like delivery of tenor Peter Pears – to my mind, the best Gerontius, and the jewel in the crown of the well-known London Symphony performance on Decca, under the baton of Benjamin Britten. But by the second half, Mr. Auty gave what we had all come to hear, the passionate pilgrimage of a soul.
Ronald Corp conducted in a restrained, careful manner – always giving clear baton strokes and cues for his singers and performers: a fatherly, serious, priest-like performance, faithful to Elgar's Englishness and his religious introspection. With 50 players, the New London Orchestra created a full symphonic sound, but I wondered if, perhaps, the ensembles ought to have been augmented – to give that extra dimension which such a large-scale work deserves, such as in the hammer-blow-like flash of percussion where the Soul sees "the glance of God"? However, the chamber-like delicacy of the front-desk strings of the New London Orchestra came into their own in the beauty of the introduction to Part Two. If we are approaching heaven, then we must also be with Elgar on the Worcester-Hereford border; with music, and woodwind interpolations over the hushed strings, conjuring the Elgar and England of The Wand of Youth, or a scene by the Severn in Caractacus. Playing of great quality by the New London Orchestra, with Ronald Corp seeing not just the great gestures of Gerontius, but the shadows and quiet corners of the church which are found throughout the score.
Ronald Corp and his New London Orchestra and London Chorus gave a Dream of Gerontius that truly came from the heart. As I left St. John's, breathing in the cool night air in Georgian Smith Square, some words from Gerontius came into my mind…
"How still it is!
I hear no more the busy beat of time…"
Stuart Millson, Classical Music Editor.
Notes: * Prior to the first full performance of the work in London, Sir Henry Wood had conducted a performance of the orchestral Prelude to The Dream of Gerontius, and the Angel's Farewell in an Ash Wednesday concert at The Queen's Hall. Elgar's friend, A.J. Jaeger, the publisher wrote in 1901:
"…this morning we went together to Queen's Hall to hear Wood conduct the Gerontius Prelude and Angel's Farewell… Wood conducted it with loving care, spent one-and-a-half hours on it & the result was a performance which completely put Richter's into the shade".

For a FREE no-obligation basement waterproofing, foundation repair estimate in Saint-placide, QC, please fill out the form to the right and Systèmes Sous-sol Québec will contact you shortly.
We not only adhere to the highest industry standards, we strive to be the industry leader in the home improvement related services we provide. We also use state-of-the-art products and technology which are designed to fix your home. We are the authorized Basement Systems dealer in Saint-placide, QC.
The TripleSafe system protects your basement against water. The discreet and hermetic design allows the pump to remain clean and not to evacuate water vapor. In addition, PowerBraces beams solidify concrete block foundations that crack and bend inward.
Our foreman Eugene is very delicate in his work. He makes sure to install the TripleSafe and UltraSump protection system to protect your basement from any kind of water infiltration or flooding.
This house in Saint-Placide got unexpectedly flooded during a storm and the walls and other property were damaged, forcing her to renovate the space. This is the first time this has happened since our client lived in this house (1988) and she does not want this problem of water to happen again.
Since the house is not located in a flood region in Quebec according to the report, but bordering the Ottawa River, the client did not think the risk would aggravate.
Furthermore she contacted us but she did not want any waterproofing solutions, but when our specialist went to check up her house for a free inspection, he therefore recommended a prevention solution that would eliminate the risk of flooding and give that peace of mind that the client is looking for.
First, the specialist recommended the installation of the TripleSafe sump pump system. This system protects your basement three times more than other systems because it contains 3 pumps. The first operates under normal conditions. The second pump starts if the first pump fails for any reason or when the flow and volume of water are too fast for the first one and , the third pump is an UltraSump that runs on a direct current powered by a rechargeable battery. This pump works when you experience a power failure.
Our client didn't need to worry again in case of water flood or infiltration in the area and the basement is now protected against all these conditions.

north of Cancun, is a research paradise.
I have been to Eden, and seen where the sky is born.
It's an adventure that grew from a proposal to Arturo Gómez-Pompa, founder of Reserva Ecologica El Eden and UCR Distinguished Professor of Botany, to visit, write and photograph the activities at this active research station in Mexico.
The plans grew to include radio and film producer Nancy Pearlman, who wanted to interview Gómez-Pompa for her Environmental Directions radio series. Gómez-Pompa is a catalyst for collaboration and extra work for those who have the good fortune to experience the flurry of productivity that follows him.
Pearlman and I resolved to collaborate in producing a pair of environmental documentaries--one on ecotourism and another about El Eden. Nancy used her experience to gain support for our expedition from the Mexican Ministry of Tourism.
With the recruitment of Maryland-based camerawoman Yokasta Suero, we formed a semi-intrepid film crew of three.
The plans also included a second week on my own devoted to merging into life at El Eden.
The first week's hurried schedule, and a problem with the camera, allowed our team only one very long, hot, humid day in the field to capture El Eden on tape. Two days before our arrival the station generator failed. Since we lacked the means to recharge the camera's batteries, our film project was in danger. Fortunately, two UCR researchers at the reserve carried car batteries and inverters as part of their standard field gear.
That first week continued frantic, full and rich with tours of three Mayan ruins, Tulum, Cobá and Chichén Itzá, and stays at a luxury nature resort and a coastal retreat near Tulum. There, late one night, we watched a hawsksbill turtle digging her nest on the beach.
A highlight of these excursions was a visit to "Sian Ka'an," which translates to "the place where the sky is born." It is also the name for a 1.3-million-acre biosphere reserve, the northernmost portion of which we toured by boat, cruising narrow channels within the mangrove forests. We emerged into wide-open salt and freshwater lagoons, home to more than 250 species of birds and animals such as crocodiles and manatees.
The "Eden" I came to know better upon my return--Reserva Ecologica El Eden--is not an unspoiled garden paradise. Human influences, such as "slash and burn" agriculture, numerous archaeological sites and the effects of natural fires or events such as the 1988 Hurricane Gilberto, provide El Eden's researchers with diverse phenomena to investigate in this largely unstudied region.
Gómez-Pompa created the reserve with his own resources and additional funding from Lazcano-Barrero, family and friends, and non-governmental agencies. He also donated a large portion of the $75,000 he received in sharing the 1994 Tyler Prize, the world's premier award for conservation. The money helped to build the reserve's comfortable but often insufficient structures: a station building, two bungalows and some minimal staff housing. A dilapidated "tent-city" fills the gap when El Eden's beds and cots are full. World Wildlife Fund donated a modest laboratory.
Lazcano-Barrero directs the operations of the reserve without a salary. He pays his bills, and many of the reserve's, through work as a consultant. He also makes an occasional Discovery Channel appearance, a result of his expertise on crocodiles.
Lazcano-Barrero's varied tasks include hosting visitors and chauffeuring them to and from the reserve, a jostling ride not for the faint of heart.
El Eden's team of anthropologists, archaeologists, botanists and ecologists are pursuing research to improve the state of the environment and the lives of the residents of the Yucatán and beyond.
Dr. Ana Luisa Anaya, of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, is at El Eden to search for new biocides and pharmaceuticals. Her research, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is based on the knowledge and practices of the Maya who prospered for centuries throughout the Yucatán. These people relied on and manipulated the native flora to attract animals and to provide fuel, food and medicines.
Dr. Anaya's research has already revealed an extremely active fungicide produced by the che-chém tree, which is common in the region. This natural plant biocide appears to be at least as potent as synthetic fungicides in use today.
Gómez-Pompa and UCR plant ecologist Edith Allen and her husband, Dr. Michael Allen, from San Diego State University, are working to determine how to best reforest following fires. Fires are increasingly frequent in the Yucatán as populations expand. Although lightening causes some of those, most are human-caused escapee fires from shifting agriculture. These fires occur more frequently than the time it takes for the Peninsula's dry tropical forests to grow to a stage at which they might survive. Native vegetation has not adapted to endure such frequent fires.
The project, supported by the National Science Foundation's Conservation and Restoration Biology program, seeks to determine what treatments and species hasten the natural processes of reforestation. The study focuses on beneficial soil microfloraÑminute soil plantsÑmany of which are reduced or lost after fire or severe disturbance.
The experiments include reinoculation with mycorrhizal fungi. These fungi exist in partnership with the roots or other structures of a plant and can greatly enhance tropical tree growth. Local "campesinos" or farmers helped researchers determine the best methods to achieve restoration. Yucatán soil is rich but limited, interspersed in pockets amidst the rocky limestone terrain. Plants will survive only if placed between the rocks where the roots can seek the groundwater. The campesinos, who possess an innate ability for finding these "fosetas" or planting holes, assisted the restoration team in locating and digging.
Gómez-Pompa has links to a vast scientific network. His knack for formulating questions that illuminate connections and encourage appropriate scientists to pursue the answers has enabled him to quickly assemble this team. He hopes to do more for conservation by seeking partners who can help El Eden acquire and protect additional land, improve facilities and communication systems, and support student fellowships. The acquisition of solar energy at the reserve is a fundamental step toward Gómez-Pompa and Lazcano-Barrero's auspicious goal of enhancing El Eden's promise as a haven for researchers.
Bethany A. Morrison, a UCR archaeology Ph.D. student stationed at El Eden, has high praise for the reserve. Not only does it possess a rich archaeological record, she said, it has also given her access to a covey of scientists whose work enlightens hers at every turn.
"Most archaeologists have to work in a vacuum," said Morrison. "They (visit their site), do their thing and then they go home...We're in a really neat situation here in that I'm not just learning about the archaeology. Every day somebody walks in with a new plant or a new animal or something, some new piece of information about the environment."
The work of Gómez-Pompa's students is also crucial to illuminating the information being assembled by the reserve's team. Gillian Schultz, a UCR Ph.D. student, is assessing the dominant vegetation at the reserve. He correlates the data with aerial photos and satellite images to compare and make extrapolations about the vegetation in the Yucatán and how it has changed over time. NSF-funded UCR botany major Jeff Ross is looking at what is in the ground and how the seed bank correlates to what is growing above.
These and other El Eden researchers have helped Morrison learn a lot about how the Maya may have lived. It gives her a greatly increased sense of what their universe was probably like.
The scientists and students working at El Eden, like researchers around the world, enjoy the delight of pursuing scientific questions. What makes El Eden special is that the team's work reflects the scientific goals and mission of the reserve--conservation and sustainable resource management.
The leadership of Lazcano-Barrero and Gómez-Pompa heightens this shared sense of high standards. The place--the demands of working in the heat and humidity of the Yucatán--is itself a strong force in making a community of these enthusiastic researchers as they uncover the discoveries of eden.


I'm sorry Momma, I'm cleaning out my closet! Spring is the perfect time to start clearing out the clutter in your life. We all accumulate it. Often times we don't realize how much we actually have until we sift through it! My Mom is really queen at this. She is so aware of how she uses space, and doesn't keep anything that's not useful.
When you cleanse your space you make room for new and better opportunities to come into your life. Has you watched Marie Kondo? She's a professional at helping people get rid of whatever they don't actually need, organize, and then tidy up their homes. She has a special on Netflix. When I go through my closet I actually use part of her process by making piles of "Rid" "Maybe" and "Keep".
In the past I've donated to goodwill, brought to H&M for a percentage off my next purchase, or to Crossroads for credit, but my favorite way is to sell on Poshmark! I love listing my lightly used items there because I get the most return on my investment and the cash goes straight to my account to either purchase some great new items from Poshmark, or to transfer to my bank. I just listed 5 more items (including this dress) on my Poshmark account. Generally I buy low and high end and Poshmark is a really good place to sell both! If you want to learn more about selling there check out my post Your Guide to Poshmark !

… from the Wychwoods Albums Archive
Church Street, Shipton, early 1900s
Although looking like today, Church Street is no longer the commercial area it used to be. The house in the centre of the photograph has a board 'Edenbridge, butcher', who farmed Parsonage Farm for Mr Brookes before he died in 1908. The wall around the old allotments and the lamp bracket have gone and shortly after this photograph was taken, the post office (second from right) was modernised and refronted. In 1920, the memorial to those who died in the Great War was erected and consecrated.
Shipton School Gardeners, 1935
One of a series of photographs taken at St Mary's school to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of George V and Queen Mary. The pupils at this school came from Ascott and Milton as well as Shipton and stayed on until 14 years old (unlike Milton where they moved on to Burford at 11), so gardening was part of the boys' curriculum. The garden was later grassed over as a play area and sports ground. Charlie Smith (third from right) of Ascott remembers pushing the wheelbarrow through the village to deliver the produce to the master, Mr Horne (standing behind the boys). Three of the boys in this photograph died on active service just a few years later.
Coldstone Farm, Shipton, 1910s
This photograph would appear to be posed because of the smart dress of two of the men and the boy in an Eton collar 'leading foremost'. This job was one of the reasons given for absence in the nineteenth century Shipton school log books. The sheaves were carted from the fields on the Downs to Mr Maddox's rickyard at Coldstone Farm. The man second from the right was Owen Turner who subsequently lost a leg in the First World War.
Trot's Lane, about 1900
In the field to the west of this old sunken lane are the humps and bumps of house platforms, probably indicating part of medieval Shipton. The lane, worn down by wear and water over hundreds of years, is on a line of springs with a spout at the top end on Fiddlers Hill and Trot's Spout nearly opposite the chapel. The lane is also called Water Lane and Chapel Lane.
Baptist Chapel, Shipton 1921
The chapel was erected in 1861 at a cost of £300. In The Brief History of the Baptist Chapel written in 1889, it is recorded that Mr J. F. Maddox not only paid half the cost but also superintended the school, Sunday and weekday services. On 21 September 1921, the Chapel celebrated its Diamond Jubilee with two services and tea on the lawn.
Drum and Fife Band, 1904.
The band was founded by Reuben Rainbow in the early 1900s after he had returned from fighting in the second Boer War (1899-1902). He was wounded in the back, returned home in 1901 and eventually died of his wounds in 1911 aged 40. On the right with a fife is Bill Bradley, and his son Reg plays the triangle.
This is one of series of snapshots taken from the Society's publications "The Wychwoods Albums". These publications from the mid to late 1980s feature a variety of images of the Wychwoods, all of which deserve a place in our expanding online archive.

China's Shaolin Temple has demanded and received a public apology from an internet user who posted a comment on an online forum claiming a Japanese ninja beat its kung fu-practising monks in a showdown.
An open letter from the temple posted on the internet late last week denied the fight ever took place and called on the person who posted the claim to apologise to the temple's martial arts masters.
Monks from the temple, nestled in the Songshan Mountains of central China's Henan province, said they will consider legal action if the person doesn't make a public apology.
The posting last week on the "Iron Blood Bulletin Board Community" - by someone calling themselves "Five Minutes Every Day" - described a ninja who challenged the monks of the Shaolin Temple to a fight in August after practising boxing at a Japanese mountain retreat for five years.
The internet user claimed the monks accepted the challenge and the ninja won, proving the monks are trained to perform rather than fight.
Ninjas - professional assassins trained in martial arts - date back to mediaeval Japan.
The Shaolin Temple's letter said the posting was "evil" and "a pure fabrication." It said the account of the ninja's victory had been widely commented on and distributed, especially in Japan.
"This extremely irresponsible behaviour not only impacts the Shaolin temple and its monks, but also the whole martial arts community and the Chinese people," it said.
According to some reports, the ninja-booster, Five Minutes, later posted an apology.
"What I wrote was fiction. I apologise to Shaolin Temple and all my readers," he wrote. "I hope that the Shaolin masters will exercise their Buddhist compassion and virtue, and forgive me."
The incident comes amid lingering tensions between China and Japan over World War II atrocities. China is highly sensitive to anything that smacks of Japanese militarism, particularly because many believe Tokyo has yet to show adequate remorse for its wartime actions in China.
Last year, some ten thousand Chinese protesters staged a demonstration inside an online game after a motif resembling a Hinomaru or "rising sun" Japanese flag was used in The Fantasy of the Journey West - a popular game set in the Tang dynasty period (618 - 907).

Rewan Amin (Duhok, 8 januari 1996) is een Nederlands voetballer van Irakese afkomst die doorgaans speelt als middenvelder. In januari 2022 verruilde hij Östersunds FK voor Dalkurd.

Clubcarrière
Amin werd geboren in Irak en toen hij drie was verhuisde zijn familie naar Leeuwarden. Hierna speelde hij in de jeugd van LAC Frisia 1883 en in 2008 kwam de middenvelder in de jeugdopleiding van sc Heerenveen terecht. Amin had in 2013 de kans om te vertrekken naar de opleiding van Arsenal, maar deze overgang wees de jeugdspeler af. Aan het einde van het seizoen 2015/16, waarin hij vier keer zonder invalbeurt op de reservebank bij het eerste elftal had gezeten, kreeg hij een contractverlening van één seizoen. Het seizoen erop leverde twee reserveplekken op maar opnieuw geen speeltijd, waarop hij de club transfervrij mocht verlaten. In februari 2017 trok Amin naar het Zweedse Dalkurd, waar hij zijn handtekening zette onder een verbintenis voor de duur van drie seizoenen. In zijn eerste jaar bij die club promoveerde Dalkurd uit de Superettan naar de Allsvenskan. Hierop kreeg hij een contractverlenging tot eind 2021. Halverwege het seizoen 2018 nam Östersunds FK de middenvelder over voor een recordbedrag en gaf hem een contract tot en met december 2021. Na afloop van deze verbintenis keerde Amin transfervrij terug naar Dalkurd.

When the aroma emanating from the catering dishes is so tantalizing lunch is served an hour early, you know the food is going to be good. Such was the case last week when Rooster's, a long-time Jackson restaurant in the Fondren area, was the featured caterer at a meeting I attended. Meeting organizers had no choice but to let us break for lunch an hour early once we got a whiff of the succulent fried chicken tenders, cheese-infused mashed potatoes, salad with Comeback sauce, homemade rolls and banana pudding. Suffice to say, it was the best meeting I've attended in a while, thanks in no small part to the lunch that was light-years above any standard catered lunch.
Rooster's has been around since 1984, when the first restaurant was opened in downtown Jackson. Various locations were opened around the metro area, with the final move made over 10 years ago to the Fondren Corner Building on State Street.
In the past, I frequented Rooster's to enjoy one of its signature burgers, but after tasting its chicken, I realized it's not just about burgers anymore. One look at the menu and a quick stop by the restaurant revealed Rooster's has branched out and offers something for everyone looking for a delicious home-cooked meal in a friendly, neighborhood restaurant.
First, I have to recommend the chicken tenders, located on the menu under the creative heading, "#JXNCKN." That's "hashtag Jackson chicken" for Twitter novices. Three chicken tenders with honey mustard sauce are served with two sides. I highly recommend the mashed potatoes, but there are numerous others from which to choose, including fries, onion rings, cole slaw, red beans and rice, cheese grits, rice and gravy and mac and cheese, to name a few.
Another recommendation: ask for Comeback sauce with your tenders and definitely with a salad order. It was so good, I used it as a dipping sauce for the tenders and dressing for green salad. It's spicy, thick and delicious enough to be served at any Greek restaurant, which Rooster's isn't, of course. I usually refrain from asking chefs for their prized recipes, but in this case, I was sorely tempted.
Other chicken entrees and sandwiches that come with sides are mushroom chicken cutlet ($10.50) topped with sautéed mushrooms and Swiss cheese; tomato cutlet, a pan-broiled chicken breast topped with Rooster's famous Creole tomato gravy; smothered chicken and grits ($10.95) consisting of tenders smothered in Creole tomato gravy on a bed of cheese grits; hot, hot fried chicken sandwich ($7.75) and fried chicken club ($7.75).
Other chicken sandwiches are on the menu, ranging from grilled ($6.95) to chicken jalapeno ($7.95).
I was anxious to see if Rooster's delicious burgers were still on the menu and thankfully, they are. All burgers and sandwiches come fully dressed and come encased in your choice of freshly-baked white, wheat or jalapeno cheddar buns. Burgers come in two sizes ($6.50 for six-ounce/$7.75 for 8-ounce) while burgers topped with cheese, bacon, mushroom and Swiss cost slightly more. For a bit of variety, order the "stupid" burger ($7.75/$8.95) topped with caramelized onions, Applewood bacon and Monterey jack cheese or the nacho ($7.50/$8.75) courtesy of jalapenos and spicy jack cheese.
I'm a fan of Rooster's burger and now, it's chicken, but for others, it's the plate lunches that draw them in on a daily basis. Entrees come with two sides and a roll and include hamburger steak with brown gravy and sautéed onions ($10.95), country fried steak with white gravy ($11.95), Creole hamburger steak with tomato gravy and mushrooms ($10.95) and red beans and rice with smoked sausage, jalapenos and salad ($9.95).
I haven't tried Rooster's fried chicken salad ($8.95) but it looks amazing. There's also a grilled chicken salad for the same price, house salad ($6.95), fried or grilled Caesar ($8.75) and "hot, hot" version called "devil's Caesar ($8.75).
Don't leave without sampling Rooster's banana pudding ($3). I was lucky enough to receive a serving at my work meeting and it's utterly delicious.
Rooster's is located at 2906 N. State St. in the Fondren Corner Building. Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. – 9 p.m.

Arabella Ashby is a Patrick O'Brian girl in a Jane Austen world — born and raised on Mars, she was hauled back home by her mother, where she's stifled by England's gravity, climate, and attitudes toward women. When she learns that her evil cousin plans to kill her brother and inherit the family fortune, she joins the crew of an interplanetary clipper ship in order to beat him to Mars. But privateers, mutiny, and insurrection stand in her way. Will she arrive in time?
Arabella of Mars will appeal to fans of Naomi Novik's Temeraire books, Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan trilogy, and Mary Robinette Kowal's Glamourist Histories, all of which are fast-paced adventures combining a historical setting with a fantasy/SF twist. A novelette in the same universe, "The Wreck of the Mars Adventure," appeared in Locus Award winning anthology Old Mars, edited by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois; another related novelette, "The End of the Silk Road," appeared in F&SF.
Arabella of Mars is published by Tor and is now available in hardcover, ebook, and audio formats from Powell's or anywhere else books are sold.

During the winter months, breakdowns and serious accidents are far more likely in adverse weather conditions (but then again, you knew that already). The obvious result could be a potentially serious injury, increasingly the possibility of a head injury claim, for example. Keeping the little ones safe can be tricky, especially if you're parked on the hard shoulder and the AA has issued you a two hour wait. With the risk of other cars crashing into your vehicle, it's usually recommended that you leave the car and get behind the barrier. But that's not always the best decision.
If its night time and raining, it's safer to take your chances and sit in the vehicle, with the children securely strapped into their child seats. Also, standing outside in the cold with a two year-old (or younger) presents a real health danger for the child. If the temperature is minus two or lower, it's best to keep them inside the car and out of the freezing weather. It's also recommended that you keep the kids inside, if you have four or more, as it's difficult to control their behaviour by the road.
When you call the AA always make sure you let them know that you are with very young children, as this will give you greater priority; especially if you are a woman by yourself with a baby. It's crucial that you always take your mobile phone with you, so you can call for help easily. The AA also recommends keeping spare sets of warm clothes in the car, long-lasting food, drink, and entertainment.
It's a great idea to invest in a portable DVD player. This can keep children happy and quiet for hours and leave you to drive unimpeded. It's unlikely that you'll get through the whole journey without whining or fighting, but don't stop on the hard shoulder unless it's a real emergency.
A great way to avoid having to meet a road accident solicitor and in-car unrest is to stop regularly at service stations. On a motorway, the longest you'll have to wait for one of these safe havens is 30 miles. Always ask the kids if anyone needs the toilet as you reach a service station and stop anyway, if you judge that everyone has spent far too much time in the car (and you need a strong cup of tea). The AA recommends that you stop every 90 miles at least.
When the kids start scrapping, it can really distract you from driving and increase your stress levels. Although you'll want to intervene, driving needs to be your main priority until you can safely stop the car. They may be tearing into each other, but they will be harmed a lot more if you lose control of the vehicle.
Toys and other items should be safely stowed away in the car. Even a box of tissues can turn into a battering ram during a collision, so keep the vehicle debris-free.
Disclosure: This is a featured post. Image by DeusXFlorida.
We broke down recently and my husband wouldn't say that we had a disabled child with us – luckily we weren't waiting too long but I think it's important to let them know how vulnerable your situation is.
Good post with lots of important and helpful advice.
Really, really helpful points, especially about when to get out and when to stay in your car. Thank you.
Great tips, I have two old fleeces but never thought of having entertainment or emergency snacks. I also need to give the car a big tidy out!
