Thorpe Asks PCSO Lieutenant To Shed Light On RICO Abuses
February 7, 2018 ADI Staff Reporter
A Pima County Attorney legislative liaison frantically texts during Cameron testimony before Rep. Bob Thorpe' House Federalism and Public Policy Committee
On Tuesday, Rep. Bob Thorpe' House Federalism and Public Policy Committee heard testimony from Lieutenant Joe Cameron of the Pima County Sheriff's Office (PCSO) regarding the issue of the misuse of RICO funds.
LaWall Wants RICO Cash For Perimeter Bicycling
Pima County Attorney Barbara LaWall is requesting that the Board of Supervisors today review and approve of RICO monies to various organizations. LaWall is requesting approval of funding for organizations and activities ranging from 88Crime, Inc. to the Perimeter Bicycling Association of America, Inc.
The Pima County supervisors are expected to vote on the RICO requests at today's Board of Supervisor's meeting.
Later in the day, Arizona legislators are scheduled to hear testimony from Pima County resident as to the ongoing misuse of RICO monies….
Thorpe, who has worked to reform Arizona's asset forfeiture laws over the years, invited Cameron to share his experience with and concerns about the misuse of RICO (Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations) funds which are generated by law enforcement activities that result in civil asset forfeiture proceedings.
Cameron offered compelling testimony in which he shared the concerns of both fellow law enforcement officers and Pima County residents about the seemingly unfinished business of bringing personnel, who participated in what the FBI described as a "money laundering scheme," to justice.
Earlier in the day, Thorpe advised Pima County supervisors in an email that he was concerned about "past and current practices within the office of County Attorney Barbara LaWall and the Pima County Sheriff's Department." He wrote:
Dear Pima County Supervisors:
Last year, the legislature reformed RICO and Civil Asset Forfeiture laws in order to address abuses of these laws and the assets collected by county prosecutors from our citizens in civil court. I am greatly concerned as I learn more about past and current practices within the office of County Attorney Barbara LaWall and the Pima County Sheriff's Department.
RICO and CAF laws were never intended to take monies from average citizens, who are not part of organized crime, to be used (abused) by government officials and agencies as a slush fund for non-law enforcement activities. These practices are counter to everything that embodies the concept of 'public trust.'
LaWall's current requests, that include a $5,000 payment to the Perimeter Bicycling Association of America, Inc., demonstrate to me that further state legislative action is needed in order to hold county officials personally accountable for their decisions.
State Representative Bob Thorpe
After receiving Thorpe's email, the supervisors, in a 3-2 vote, delayed the vote to approve the requests from LaWall. They opted instead to have an independent attorney to review the requests for appropriateness.
Committee member Rep. Noel Campbell suggested that the committee send a letter to the Attorney General's Office requesting a full investigation into Pima County's RICO fund expenditures.
RICO funds are intended to be used for crime fighting activity, but among LaWall's proposed RICO funded projects were free infant car seats, and pajamas.
Counter-racketeering expert Aaron Ludwig said of LaWall's latest request. "Article 9, §7 of the Arizona Constitution, commonly referred to as the Gift Clause, provides: "Neither the state, nor any county, city, town, municipality, or other subdivision of the state shall ever…make any donation or grant, by subsidy or otherwise, to any individual, association, or corporation…" The Arizona Supreme Court has interpreted this constitutional provision to mean that the governmental entity giving the money to the private enterprise must receive adequate consideration (probably equal value) DIRECTLY. Indirect and potential benefits cannot be part of the computation of what the government receives. Furthermore, "…a public officer or other person…charged with the receipt, safekeeping, transfer or disbursement of public money is guilty of a class 4 felony…[if she]: without authority of law, appropriates it, or any portion thereof, to [her] own use, or to the use of another." Does the expenditure of public money to bolster one's own image or reputation or to win an election by giving public money to non-profit organizations that make her look good amount to appropriation of public money for her own use? Regardless of whether the conduct is criminal, all Arizona elected officials have taken an oath to uphold the Arizona Constitution, including its Gift Clause."

The Evil One says:
"Supervisors Elias, Bronson & Valadez Deny Sheriffs $1.429M Stonegarden Grant"
And the retaliation has begun.
gruundehn says:
Civil asset forfeiture laws do not need to be reformed, but abolished. If the Government is to take someone's property for breaking the law, then let it happen only after a conviction in a court of law. And used only after the Legislature appropriates it.
Christopher Cole
Pima County Libertarian Party
Kiser Sosa says:
Blue Hair should be on the golf course in Rio Rico. She is a deputy county attorney? Or perhaps she is the only [female] smurf?
It is time for Attorney General Brnovich to act like [pretend] the highest law enforcement officer in the State of Arizona and do a real investigation into the abuse of RICO funds in Pima county. It has been demonstrated more than once the abuses were covered up in Pima county.
It is strange that the highest ranking Chief in the PCSO is married to and attorney in the Tucson office of the US Attorney. hmmmm
DrTom says:
Did anybody put a tracker chip into Dupnick ??
jdfast says:
Hopefully the legislature will follow through and open the lid on the cesspool that is Pima County and its corrupt county attorney and PCSO for their use of RICO funds. The cockroaches at the county have got to be a little worried about now, one would hope. But what the hell nothing has happened to them for years. So why should they worry now.

Redruth needs a new town crier as the Saint steps down
Redruth's George Saint has become an incredibly popular figure regularly spotted at town events
Oggy, Oggy, Oggy! Redruth town crier George Saint with his lunch and bell at the Miners Statue in Fore Street, Redruth (Image: Geoff Hichens)
Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye, this is a call for the loudest person you know to put their deafening tones to good use.
For the first time in many years Redruth is on the lookout for a new town crier.
Over the years Redruth's current town crier George Saint has become a true character playing a leading role at events such as Murdoch Day and the Redruth International Mining and Pasty Festival.
But the time has come for George to give his vocal chords a rest and enjoy his well-earned retirement.
A post on the Redruth Town Facebook page said: "Firstly we'd like to say a HUGE thank you to George who has been our town crier for many years.... He has hung his robe and hat so we are looking for a new town crier of Redruth."
Inside Newquay's inspirational new rehoming centre for the homeless
Interested parties are asked to email the town council at admin@redruth-tc.gov.uk .
Many people have been quick to pay tribute to outgoing George's service to the town.
George Saint who played at key role at Murdoch Day and the Redruth International Mining and Pasty Festival
Janet Hagan said: "George well done on your public service, your shoes will be hard to fill. A true gent."
Lindsey Williams added: "Time to rest George Joseph Saint. You are very much a loved man by many."

My last week in MVP Summit gave me a lot to think about. Conveniently Enterprise Connect revealed new features that adds even more collaboration possibilities to Teams meeting: Whiteboard in Teams. So it is a good moment to recap why meetings in Teams rock!
Joining meetings is easy in Teams. Just go to your meetings app in Teams and choose to join. The Join screen lets you to see your settings (camera + blur on/off, microfone on/off, what device you are using) and also you can join using one-click with Audio off. And if you have a Teams Room available you can join the Room meeting from the Teams user interface on desktop (and soon on mobile as well) .
Teams also notes if there are already more people in the meeting so it will present you an option to join muted. This way you won't disturb others with accidental sounds "open mic scenario". I have found this feature very useful especially when you have 10+ people in the meeting.
Teams meetings have a way better quality in audio and video than Skype for Business had. Teams meetings also can cope with less/varying bandwidth much better than Skype did. You can also change audio devices easily in the middle of the meeting.
Teams has always been promoting the use of live cam video of participants. It is yet limited to 4 simultaneous attendee videos but this is getting better with the Enterprise Connect announcement: you can interact with 9 people using live video at the same time. This makes most of team meetings really close a face-to-face meeting since you can see all participants.
The background blur is also a great feature that helps people to turn on meetings to video enhanced meetings. At least personally that has helped, since I work often from the home office and the background is not ideal. But this is getting even better with the upcoming ability to change the background to custom picture instead of a blur. It is awesome – and as my colleague pointed out: sometimes blur is not enough if there are people moving at the background.
The Room systems are also getting the Content Camera option to add more bone for hybrid meetings (onsite + online) to bring online attendees close to onsite members.
Sharing is easy for every meeting attendee. You choose to share and then select your content (desktop, powerpoint/other application or shareable app like whiteboard).
What is often forgotten is that you can share and view the content using Teams mobile app as well – or even use the mobile application as a controller to advance your slide deck!
I saved the best at last. The Enterprise Connect also announced the Teams Whiteboard that is already available for preview. When you have joined the meeting you can open the meeting Whiteboard via sharing.
First Teams sets the whiteboard up and then you can start drawing to the whiteboard either inside Teams (limited functionalities at this point) or you can open the whiteboard in the Whiteboard app to have more choices available.
The new Whiteboard syncs really fast between Teams and Whiteboard as well. And you can also get the link to the meeting whiteboard directly from Teams Whiteboard UI. I found out that using the Whiteboard app is a way better experience since it works with the inking better (ability to change pen sizes) and overall it has more features than the Teams one. You should start with Teams Whiteboard first (so it gets tied to the meeting) and then open the Whiteboard app to have a full experience.
Limitations do exist. Whiteboard is supported on Desktop and browser versions of Teams. You can't view the shared Whiteboard on mobile and the use of Whiteboard is currently limited inside single tenant. So if you have externals or guests invited to the meeting they don't have access to the whiteboard.
However, the use of Whiteboard is really useful in internal meetings right now. How do you feel about it?

Volkswagen Golf 7 facelift. Another Hole-in-One
June 21, 2017 January 22, 2019 0 Comments cape west coast news, South African Pensioners, Volkswagen Golf 7 GTi, What's on in Darling, working after retirement
"What's new?" the uninitiated might ask when first spotting the latest iteration of the Volkswagen Golf 7. The answer is simple – "More than meets the eye." This unequivocal statement is made in the aftermath of a two-day press launch starring South Africa's favourite hot hatch – the GTI – which has accounted for no less than 55% of all Golf 7 sales.
When it comes to all-round competence, the GTI is unrivalled so its makers would be extremely stupid to make wholesale changes to a winning formula. Therefore evolution prevails – thankfully.
In a way, the widely used descriptor "hot hatch" is not wholly accurate in the case of the GTI because pace is just one of its many virtues. To 'outright speed' you can add 'easily accessed speed' which in simple English means that this Golf always has plenty of urge on hand in all situations thanks to the fact that the motor is not highly strung. Let's just say it's "brawny," a characteristic which makes for exceptional drivability.
That drivability extends to the overall relaxed feel of the GTI in terms of handling and steering responses, not to mention refinement. The reason for all this feel-good stuff rests with the astonishingly effective MQB platform the Golf is built on. I won't worry you with what those letters stand for, suffice to say that a platform in car terms is the equivalent of a skeleton in human terms.
With the revised Golf 7 GTI just announced, that skeleton remains in-situ which comes as no surprise so the changes can all be found in tweaked engine outputs, in subtle styling tweaks centred around the bumpers and lights and in the availability of high tech information and instrument displays together with the introduction of perforated leather seat coverings.
What this means is that owners of existing models won't feel they've been discarded while new buyers will benefit from sufficient changes to justify a purchasing decision.
In mechanical terms, the new GTI now gets the 2.0 169kW motor previously available in the Performance Pack upgrade but the most significant change is the universal adoption of the acclaimed DSG twin-clutch transmission. To the uninitiated who believe there is no alternative to manual gearboxes in a performance application, this may come as something of a surprise but previous purchasing patterns indicated virtually no off-take so VWSA's decision is wholly justified.
The launch test route primarily encompassed rural A-roads with a variable mix of surfaces and sweeping bends to test fully the underpinnings of the new GTI. The test unit was fitted with the optional and wholly worthwhile DCC system which allows individual tuning of the steering, engine and chassis responses. Personally, and given this car was riding on ultra-low profile 225/35R19 tyres, I prefer the chassis in Comfort mode and the steering in Sport. Responses to the helm remain sharp and faithful while the ride is beautifully cushioned with absolutely no sense of sloppiness. Having said that, a colleague who chose to drive some 700km home rather than fly, reported that in more sinuous sections of the route, he ran the chassis in Sport and was enthralled by the GTIs' sharp responses and amazing grip.
Anyone who tells you 169kW is not enough in an application such as this clearly hasn't driven a GTI. You see, that peak power arrives at an unusually low 4 700 rpm but just as importantly, the peak torque output of 350Nm is accessed all the way from 1 500rpm to 4 600rpm. Collectively, such outputs make for very, very energetic performance which is available without massive applications of throttle. In everyday motoring, all out performance afforded by high power outputs simply cannot be accessed all the time or you'd be spending your days in jail. How that power is served up is all-important and this is why the GTI excels in the real world.
As I've come to savour over many years of personal experience, that DSG gearbox, complete with paddle shifters, works at lightning speeds with no slippage and even when left to its own s devices , it reads your driving pattern and changes the shift points accordingly. If the driver wants complete control, move the shift lever across the gate to the S position and enjoy the fact that the sweet motor is allowed to rev into the upper reaches and unleash a few exhaust pops in the process.
If the driving experience is so sweet, how do the facelifted bits and pieces stack up? Externally, unless you're a Golf 7 aficianado, the changes are certainly subtle. New standard-fit LED headlamps (optional on other models) lurk underneath mildly re-shaped lenses, the front bumper and apertures, together with trim elements, have been re-modelled and the front fenders are mildly re-shaped. The overall impression is of a slightly wider, lower stance that's still unmistakably Golf.
Down the back, the (standard across the range) LED rear lamp detailing is massaged along with the bumper and most obviously, the indicators (on the GTI) are now of the sweeping variety and are a visual treat which may get noticed more readily by other motorists.
Open a door and the first thing that catches the eye is the perforated leather seating surface, the "holes" of which are subtly infused with red highlighting that does quite a bit to lift the somewhat pervasive charcoal greyness of the original interior. Those front seats are nothing less than superb, offering just the right amount of lateral and thigh support with a pleasantly-soft surface padding. In my book, there is no better seat available at any price.
Pride of place though in terms of revisions must go to the (optional) Active Info Display which in today's lingo is a "virtual instrument display" as first introduced in the Audi TT. This is linked to the (optional) Discover Pro radio/nav system which is now presented in a gorgeous 9.2in display, with gesture control , that makes the free-standing units employed by others look like an afterthought.
Moving to the Golf 7 range as a whole, all models now feature Bluemotion Technology with auto stop/start system (not my cup of tea!) as well as a mode for storing braking energy. Further, a host of assistance systems is available, not least Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Traffic Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control with Front Assist and Autonomous Emergency Braking. There's even Trailer Assist with Park Assist available for those who like dragging wheeled devices behind them. It's amazing what this safety/convenience aid can do so pay a visit to www.vw.co.za if you've had problems negotiating trailers in tight spaces.
As with the GTI, the interior trim in other models has also received a freshen-up which lifts the already high class ambience to new levels for the class. And all models now feature new alloy wheel designs and bigger media displays even when Discover Pro is not selected.
Those models now consist of an 81kW 1.0 TSI with manual transmission and the familiar 92kW 1.4TSI now with DSG transmission. I've sampled this new engine in the Polo and was amazed by its willing get up and go, a characteristic confirmed by a colleague who drove the new Golf over some 240km with this new motor. He reported very favourably on its open road performance and economy, doubtless a function of the impressive 200Nm torque peak which comes on song at just 2 000rpm.
Anyone who remains unconvinced should take the trouble to check out the torque figures of normally-aspirated 1.4 or 1.6 litre competitive engines and then prepare for a surprise. For the record, the 1.0TSI will top out at 196km/H and scuttle to 100 in just 9.9s.
At launch in May 2017, the SA prices are as follows:
1.0 TSI 81kW Trendline Manual R289 900
1.0 TSI 81kW Comfortline Manual R304 200
1.4 TSI 92kW Comfortline DSG R356 400
2.0 TSI 169kW GTI DSG R545 800
The pricing of the 1.0TSI is certainly keen but for those with a penchant for more shove, hold on until late July for the arrival of the 213kW Golf R and the 130kW Golf GTD.
In the meantime, VW has successfully massaged the hatchback that's defined the class for so many years and added new tech to a formula underpinned by solid engineering, practicality and pleasing driving characteristics. Let's just say they've scored another hole-in-one which is a most unusual achievement.

In this volume the fundamental theory of open quantum systems is revised in the light of modern developments in the field. A unified approach to the quantum evolution of open systems is presented by merging concepts and methods traditionally employed by different communities, such as quantum optics, condensed matter, chemical physics and mathematical physics.
The mathematical structure and the general properties of the dynamical maps underlying open system dynamics are explained in detail. The microscopic derivation of dynamical equations, including both Markovian and non-Markovian evolutions, is also discussed. Because of the step-by-step explanations, this work is a useful reference to novices in this field. However, experienced researches can also benefit from the presentation of recent results.


Windows 8 is finally here and i am writing a small review about it for a common user like me , if you want a full review (full technical review)you can visit any one of the biggest tech websites like pc world. This review will tell just a good and bad features of new Windows 8.
There is a new Windows 8 Metro interface, it will act like Start Menu, when you click on start button , all applications appears like tiles on Windows 8 screen, also you can search an application with search option with auto sort capability. Live tiles are also among the key features of the Windows 8 Start screen.
:) It looks great, Windows 8 Tablet like interface.
:( Wait a minute, Tablet like interface.... hey i am using a desktop, no touch screen here. All icons appears nice but you want a touch screen or touch mouse to interact with screen.
Right click change : right-clicking an object on the desktop in Windows 7 shows a context menu, While in Windows8 , right click produce a bar at bottom with assorted content. It means no direct right click use , you have to move cursor at bottom on bar to interact with assorted content.
:( Why Microsoft ... Why can n't you keep things simple ???
You can understand it like this boot screen is home screen of mobile and then on pressing Windows button (Menu button in mobile) it will move to desktop.
:) I like this feature as it allows to make a custom homescreen on our Windows 8 and less useful apps on desktop , hence utilizing less resources.
The Microsoft Store : Microsoft added a store to Windows, much like the marketplaces for Mac OS X, iOS, and Android. If you want to buy apps from the Microsoft Store, you need to create a Microsoft account. Perhaps i doubt the apps quality on this store as apps are of very low quality , only few nice apps are available.
:) More choice of apps means more interactive Windows 8 environment.
Minimum system requirements : You need atleast 1GHz or faster , 1GB of RAM (or 2GB for 64-bit systems), 20GB of hard drive space and a DirectX 9 graphics card with WDDM driver.
:) Its just the price for better user interface, like Apple did... for people using OS like 98, XP, Its time to buy a new computer.
More Secure : Windows 8 is more secure with compared to Windows 7. With more than thousand security fixes, More powerful Windows defender, it helps to fight with increasing online threats.
:) more security, lesser chances of hackers to get into your system.
Storage & File System Reviews : Windows 8 includes a new file system called ReFS (Resilient File System). It's compatible with most NTFS file, The new operating system comes with Windows 8 app for the SkyDrive cloud-storage service. If you have a Microsoft account, you can get 5GB of SkyDrive space.
:) Now, its time for cloud storage... future technology.
Final Verdict : Windows 8 isn't for everyone. If you're mostly a desktop PC user comfortable with Windows 7, you need not upgrade to Windows 8.

I have been drawn to more and more War World Two stories as of late. When I heard of this story, it piqued my interest. It brought to my attention of an effort in the war I had never thought about. The protection of the valuable works of art. I honestly never thought about how art pieces survived such a catastrophic period. I know that the Nazi's stole quite a bit of the art and to this day they are being rediscovered (thank goodness!). The rest of the art however, I never thought about it.
Shadowed by Grace offered a glimpse into this special department of the war. Men who had knowledge and a passion for art and the preservation, volunteered for this unit, to go with the US Army in WW2 and work with the towns and cities as the army pushed through to protect these priceless pieces of history. It was an effort that seemed to me to help bond Italy and America together as they fought together to preserve, unlike the Nazi's who destroyed.
I really enjoyed this new insight into a time of history. I just wish that the story contained a little bit more of the history. As the two characters met, the story turned more into a romance, and focused less on the history. Rachel, a young woman who has been given the rank of Captain, is working with the US Army to document the war movement. She is a photographer, wanting to capture what is going on, on the front lines, so people back home in America will see and understand. That isn't her sole reason for going, it gives her the perfect opportunity to finally do what she has wanted to do. She is on the search for her father, who she doesn't even know. Her only idea comes from a sketchbook and the fact her mother told her he lived in Italy. Scott is a Lieutenant who is working with the Monuments Men. He is focused on his quest, however, his focus shifts quite a bit once he meets Rachel and the thought of art is put more on the back burner as he focuses on her safety.
The story is a wonderful idea, but I just couldn't quite connect with the characters. With Scott and Rachel thrown together in a war front with being shot at, bombings, air raids, there is so much adrenaline, it didn't seem like the best time for a romance to happen.
I really wanted to like this book, but it was just ok.
Thank you to Litfuse and B&H Books, I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
I really want to see the Monuments Movie with George (were totally on a first name basis :). I think it comes out Friday. I love the history of it!
Jamie, So do I! It looks really good!


The webseries is new and unusual. Drawing from silent movie history, each show will envelop the art of story through music and new tech. Email, DM,text messages and phone calls will further push the plot. In addition, fashion and live performances edge the show to highlight talent and visibility of queer folks.
Auditions will be held Sunday, March 31st at 1:00pm.


Big events have organizational problems that can be solved through technology.
TRImarchi, the most important design conference in Latin America takes place every year in Mar del Plata, Argentina. In its 16th edition, they came to us looking for an app that included all the information about the event. They wanted to provide their users not only with a schedule for TRImarchi, but also information about the city of Mar del Plata, since a great part of their audience comes from abroad. They also needed to solve one of their main problems: there were always delays in the talks and schedule modifications.
Previous experience helped us make smarter decisions.
We were able to use the insights we had learned working on Attender, our in-house conference scheduling product, and combined them with a careful study of the behavior of TRImarchi's target audience. Delays in schedule caused people to miss many of the talks and performances. In the first version of agenda we detected the need to have a real time connection with TRImarchi attendees. The agenda provided all of the information, but time dimension was not clear, what had happened, what was happening and what was going to happen.
Push notifications were the answer to our main problem.
Thanks to our insights, the main objective was to give the app a functional use, to prevent delays and misinformation.To achieve this, we focused on the agenda as the main functionality. It included the schedule and description for each speaker, where users could favorite talks and create their own schedule, and be notified when events got delayed.
Many things were happening at the same time and the event continued to expand as the days drew closer. During previous days, attendees checked what talks they did not want to miss, but during the event everything happened so fast. That's why we created Trimarchi Live, a section where attendees could see what was going on in real time, where and a link to each talk in detail, as well as what event was about to start. The feature was synchronized minute to minute and turned out to be so effective that the actual TRImarchi organization team took it as a reference to see how the event was going on.
A flexible design with editable components that changes from year to year.
Every year, Trimarchi selects a color palette and illustrator that represents a certain theme. On 16th edition, the allusion was 16bit animation. Illustrator Kaeru was selected to dazzle the TRImarchi audience with his pixelart. For the app's visual design, we worked alongside Kaeru to determine illustrations and easter eggs to make sure we conveyed TRImarchi's magic for the user to experience. On the 17th edition, Falu Carolei was the chosen illustrator, so we adapted the assets and animation to his esthetic. We focused on delivering a clean and legible interface seeing as TMDG Agenda was mainly an informative tool.
Saving time & providing tech support.
We took advantage of Contentful, a content administrator that saved us time in backend development and allowed TRImarchi's organizers to publish and manage content & news during the event. We carried out tests to try out certain uses and avoid the app from failing.
Test every functionality as if you were a user.
We tested the acceptance criteria for every story simulating we were users at the conference. When testing, we realized that collaborating with technical support during the conference was crucial.In addition to the programmed notifications, we worked alongside the client to ensure real time notifications reached the user. This way, the user was constantly informed about updates and delays, and an overall satisfaction by the client was achieved.
Promotion was achieved by combining forces with our client.
Along with the TRImarchi organization, we launched the product in both the Apple Store and Play Store, combining our efforts to promote user acquisition with growth hacking techniques and paid advertising.
Feedback was positive and will help us for next year's edition.
Over 6000 users attended the TRimarchi conference in October 2016. More than 2000 users downloaded it and we received positive feedback and suggestions to improve it for the following year. The October 2017 edition achieved 6563 users with 3026 iOS and 1285 for Android.


(July 2013) I have alway played self taught from Sheet Music. I use a Tyros2 plus a NP30 as lower keyboard (OrganStyle). I obtain sheet music as most players do from http://www.wikifonia.org/ but also download Midi Files to convert to Sheet Music using NotationMusician & BIAB.
The excellent PSR Tutorial forum has enabled me to download a lot of things supplied by other members, so I wanted to give a little contribution myself. Over the past year I have assembled styles suitable for my sheet music and given the styles the song name. A few have more than one option. We all have personal preferences with style balance so feel free to change a style (song name) to your liking.
NOTE: The OTS on all these Gig Disk styles were assembled on a Tyros 2 + NP30 Twinset so most OTS's (Righthand Voices) are played around middle C. On a single keyboard some Righthand melody voices may require an octave down adjustment.

GSD Announces $250,000 Grant to Childhelp
feynmanwebteam Blog	Childhelp, Grant Recipient	0
As part of its commitment to support underserved youth through sports programming and educational initiatives, The Foundation for Global Sports Development (GSD) has awarded Childhelp, the nation's oldest and largest non-profit advocating for abused and neglected children, with $250,000 to benefit the Childhelp Merv Griffin Village in Beaumont, California.
"Each year we continue to be inspired by the important work of Childhelp, and we are proud to take a stand with them in the fight to end child abuse," said GSD Executive Board Member, Dr. Steven Ungerleider.
GSD Executive Board Member, David Ulich added, "The $250,000 grant will allow Childhelp's Merv Griffin Village to open their doors to even more youth in need while ensuring the sustainability of this vital child abuse treatment facility."
The Childhelp Merv Griffin Village has been dedicated to the 24-hours-a-day treatment of abused, neglected and at-risk children of California since 1978. Committed to creating a genuine community environment, the village houses as many as 84 children ranging in age from 6 to 15. Through ranch, art, recreational therapy and intensive treatment, children are afforded brighter futures.
"The announcement of this remarkable gift was a highlight of our Childhelp Drive the Dream Gala. The grant launched a Fund-A-Child fundraising moment that garnered an additional $250,000 for the children of Childhelp," said Childhelp CEO and Chairman, Sara O'Meara. "GSD will be meeting a number of sustainable needs at the Village."

Childhelp President and Vice Chairman, Yvonne Fedderson, added, "We have been so blessed to find the places where our mission intersects with GSD's mission – to prevent child abuse in youth athletics with education, while helping recovering children feel safe and loved, by using recreational and sports therapy to heal."
In addition to funding the Childhelp Merv Griffin Village, GSD underwrote the Childhelp Speak Up, Be Safe for Athletes awareness and outreach campaign; a prevention education initiative aimed at promoting the safe physical, emotional, educational and spiritual development of youth athletes which has impacted over 10,000 Arizona youth in its first year.
For over 20 years, GSD has supported Childhelp's mission through advocacy, prevention, intervention, treatment and community outreach.

Community Members Can Learn to Curl with an Olympian
feynmanwebteam Blog, News & Events	curling, Grant Recipient, Milwaukee Curling Club, Olympic Celebration Tour, press release, world curling federation	0
The sport of curling has a long history in the state of Wisconsin, so it is only appropriate that the World Curling Federation (WCF) is continuing its Olympic Celebration Tour (OCT) with a stop at the Milwaukee Curling Club (MCC) the first weekend of November.
Olympic Curling Bronze medalist and World Champion, Sebastian Kraupp, will be joining the tour from Sweden, and will be accompanied by Darrell Ell, Level Three Curling coach and the Competitions and Development Officer for the WCF.
The Olympic Celebration Tour first launched in October 2013 with support from The Foundation for Global Sports Development. Since its inception the tour has provided would-be curlers all over the world the opportunity to learn from an Olympic-level curler, and local curling clubs have welcomed new members into their fold.
The Milwaukee Curling Club may have brand new curling facilities, but it is the oldest still running club in the continental United States, dating back to 1845. Community members will have the opportunity to not only learn the sport from an Olympian but participate in the curling club's rich history.
Hank Bowman, the President of MCC, shares some of the reasons he enjoys curling. "It allows you to engage both physically and mentally while having fun with three of your friends. It's also an opportunity to meet some great people and become involved in the community."
The weekend kicks off as Mr. Kraupp and Mr. Ell will visit the local high schools with MCC members to introduce the sport to teens and talk about MCC's high school curling programs.
The public can register for the two-hour Learn to Curl sessions on Saturday and Sunday morning, where they will learn curling tips from Mr. Kraupp and possibly even compete against him in a scrimmage. Learn to Curl sessions are an ideal way to get acquainted with the sport. By the end of your day at MCC, you will know how to sweep, throw a stone, keep score, and develop a curling strategy.
Learn to Curl Information
Session 1: Saturday, November 7th 10 am – Noon
Session 2: Sunday, November 8th 10 am – Noon
The cost for each session is $30. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to start time and wear warm clothing, such as a light sweater, pants, and comfortable shoes (such as lightweight hiking or tennis shoes).
After your Learn to Curl session is over, plan to spend time at the club laughing with members, as camaraderie and storytelling are key elements of the spirit of curling.
The Foundation for Global Sports Development is proud to be a sponsor and participant of the OCT. This weekend will mark GSD's third visit to one of the OCT's stops. Learn more about GSD's involvement with the Olympic Celebration Tour.
S.O.C.E.S. Cheer Squad Rises to Fundraising Challenge
feynmanwebteam Blog, Grant Recipients	Grant Recipient, grantee spotlight	0
Yesterday we announced our 2015 Spring Grant Recipients, which were recently selected at our June board meeting. Many of the 26 organizations chosen have received continued support from us over the years, but this round of grant recipients has a handful of new groups. Among those is the varsity cheer squad at Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched Studies (S.O.C.E.S.). However, the grant we've awarded S.O.C.E.S. cheer is a bit different from our other grants because it is a matching grant.
THE STORY OF S.O.C.E.S. CHEER
Cheerleading squads go hand in hand with high school sports. The cheerleaders are at every sporting event, lead the pep rallies, and many people would call them the backbone of school spirit. The S.O.C.E.S. varsity cheer squad boasts 21 dedicated high school students who work hard in the classroom, in the gym and competition, and on the sidelines at school sporting events. While the squad members are required to maintain a 2.5 GPA minimum, their average GPA is 3.0, with many of the students taking on a rigorous academic schedule with Advanced Placement classes.
This team spans ethnic, socio-economic, gender, and religious boundaries to create a group of unique individuals, including a student who has autism. Beyond simply cheering for the school's sports teams, the members of the S.O.C.E.S. cheer squad are breaking barriers and fostering relationships with other students with whom they may not otherwise interact. The squad has come together on several occasions to work hard and achieve their goals. Last year they practiced long hours each day – before and after school – to perfect their best routine, which helped them win 1st place in their division at a cheer competition.
On top of their competitions, academic success, and dedication to supporting the school's athlete teams, the S.O.C.E.S. cheer squad has also recently had to prioritize fundraising. After the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) reclassified cheerleading as a non-sport, the S.O.C.E.S. cheer squad lost their funding. Over the past two years, the squad has managed to get by with donations from families and the community, bake sales, and restaurant fundraisers.
FUNDRAISING FOR S.O.C.E.S. CHEER
Now they have reached out to us for help, and we are pleased to offer them a matching grant in the amount of $10,000. We have been impressed with the dedication and hard work the members of the S.O.C.E.S. cheer squad have displayed. They are driven to succeed, and we are optimistic they will raise the rest of the funds. The grant and raised funds will go towards paying their coach's salary, providing new cheer shoes at the beginning of the school year (a safety requirement), team-building and skill-sharpening at the United Cheerleading Association's summer cheer camp, and another competition in November. If the team excels at November's competition, they will advance to the National High School Cheerleading Championship in Orlando, Florida in February. We are confident this team will reach their goals!
The team is already hard at work raising the matching funds for the grant. Their CrowdRise site allows individuals and businesses to make donations for this project, and so far they have raised $2,585! The booster club has also formed a fundraising committee, and different families will lead various fundraising events.
C.H.E.E.R.S. ACT
As the S.O.C.E.S. cheer squad is hard at work raising money to make up for the lack of school funding, the state of California is in the process of passing legislation that would classify high school cheerleading a sport.
The CHEERS Act (California High Schools Expanding Equality, Respect, and Safety Act), or Assembly Bill 949, was created by California State Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez. The bill would require the California Department of Education "to develop guidelines, procedures and safety standards with the California Interscholastic Federation for high school cheerleading…"
If passed and signed by the governor later this summer, the bill would go into effect for the 2016-2017 school year. Regardless of whether or not the LAUSD decides to then fund cheer squads, which would be officially recognized as sports teams, for the 2015-2016 school year, the S.O.C.E.S. cheer squad is still relying on fundraising and our matching grant.
If you are interested in supporting the S.O.C.E.S. cheer squad, we invite you to visit their CrowdRise fundraising page here: https://www.crowdrise.com/SOCESCheer/fundraiser/hollyberger1
US charity donates funding for laptops to be provided to African National Olympic Committees
feynmanwebteam Blog, News & Events	ANOCA, Grant Recipient, philanthropy, united states olympic committee, USOC	0
Funding worth $27,500 (£17,000/€22,000) has been donated to the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa (ANOCA) by the Foundation for Global Sports Development in order to improve communication.
Written by Nick Butler of Inside the Games – Read the original article here.
The funding, provided as part of the Foundation's partnership with the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), will be put towards 55 laptops distributed throughout ANOCA's membership.
This will allow improved internal communication as well as better support between National Olympic Committees, with the hope that this will improve efficiency and professionalism and, hopefully, facilitate better performances, in both an administrative and a sporting sense.
It should also increase the abilities of ANOCA members to publicise their work, which would enhance opportunities to gain sponsorship and other commercial support, it is claimed.
This marks a latest example of USOC helping to develop sport in Africa after equipment – consisting of sports shoes, jerseys, shorts and tracksuits – was donated to the Somone Olympic Africa Centre in Senegal earlier this year.
The Foundation for Global Sports Development, meanwhile, has provided financial support and guidance to organisations using sport for wider development throughout the world for over two decades.
The latest funding has been announced alongside various other projects, including a pledge of $375,000 (£234,000/€299,000) in grants to support charities focusing on improving the lives of young people through sports, educational, and health based programmes.

Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo
feynmanwebteam Blog	cancer, Grant Recipient, grantee spotlight, Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo, San Francisco	0
Throughout the month of September, we turn our attention to Childhood Cancer Awareness. Childhood cancer can leave a wake of devastation in its path as families experience immense worry, financial turmoil, and all too often, the heartbreak of losing a child. According to the American Childhood Cancer Organization, 15,780 children under 21 years of age are diagnosed with cancer every year.
In his 2012 proclamation, President Obama shared the good news that the five year survival rate for all childhood cancers has risen to 80% — a great increase from the 50% survival rate just a few decades ago. Each year important research allows for advances in detection and treatment of childhood cancers.
CANCER AND DEPRESSION
While treatments, such as chemotherapy, can take charge of healing a patient's body, often times, the patient's mental health and emotional well-being are adversely affected. Depression and anxiety are common for people with cancer, as well as for their family members and loved ones. Acknowledging the possibility for post-diagnosis depression in cancer patients is extremely important because patients who experience depression are at risk for failing to comply with their treatment plans, encountering reduced quality of life, and becoming isolated from family members and caregivers, all of which can affect their mortality.
HEALING SPACES
Abundant research has been conducted into the science of healing spaces. For example, in this TED video, Dr. Esther Sternberg discusses the effect our surroundings – especially hospitals – can have on our mental and physical well-being. Numerous elements have the ability to affect our mood and health, such as scents, color, the inclusion (or not) of nature, types and levels of lighting, and sounds or noises. Adjusting these sensory experiences can reduce blood pressure, induce relaxation, and even lower perceived pain.
Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo is a San Francisco-based non-profit organization dedicated to creating more of these significant healing spaces by transforming existing chemotherapy treatment rooms, which are almost always cold, stoic and uninviting, into treatment centers that truly promote all aspects of healing. Their mission is to create positive, healing, lovely and uplifting spaces that spiritually, emotionally, and physically support those dealing with challenges to their health. With a community of volunteers, designers, artists, and medical professionals, they have drastically improved chemo treatment centers – over 150 rooms — across the United States. Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo's work is also 100% volunteer created!
Supporting the physical and mental health of youth and their families is important to us and we are delighted to include Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo as one of our newest grant recipients. On the first of November, we will be joining Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo for their inaugural fundraising gala in San Francisco, and we are excited to have the opportunity to visit some of their amazing healing spaces. We are looking forward to seeing this incredible organization in action and can't wait to share our experience with you!

SGA rejects amendment removing "so help me God" clause from Constitution
By Bryan Anderson | 2/11/16 10:20pm
Elon University's SGA rejected an amendment Thursday night to remove the "so help me God," clause from the Constitution. File photo by Caroline Olney.
Elon University's SGA rejected an amendment to its Constitution Thursday night which called for the removal of the optional "so help me God" clause.
Because amendments require a two-thirds majority from eligible voting members and the final count ended in a tie, the amendment failed to pass. Of the 46 total voters, 23 students voted to keep the "so help me God" clause in the Constitution, 22 voted to remove the clause and one abstained — abstaining results in a negative vote.
Senior Hannah Orth said she was disappointed with the decision to keep the clause in the SGA Constitution because it makes some students feel uncomfortable and forced to share their religious beliefs.
"I am not in favor of the 'so help me God' clause in the Constitution because it is not inclusive of everyone," Orth said. "While it does include a large population that tends to be the majority, it isn't taking into account a lot of the other religions that exist."
All elected members of SGA are required to take an oath of office prior to assuming their positions, according to Article IX Section F of the Constitution. At the end of the oath, it is optional for elected students to say, "so help me God."
Debate over the proposed amendment proved to be an arduous process. With two separate motions for open, 10-minute discussions followed by a one-hour motion for discussion, SGA members expressed a plethora of opinions on the subject.
While some argued the phrase made newly-elected members uncomfortable, others said students shouldn't be uncomfortable since they are not required to say, "so help me God."
Though the amendment did not pass, it will be discussed at greater length through Senate by-law proceedings.


Entering the space, the L&F audience walked behind a curtain, past parts of Siobhan's intallation. The sound from two speakers led them from two overlapping projections of the sun to a beautiful projection on the curtain and finally to the stage where three actors sat. This way, the audience became part of the action on stage. Siobhan tells the starting point for this project is Argentinean writer Adolfo Bioy Casares's science-fiction novel La invenci򬟤e Morel (translated as The Invention of Morel, 1940). The installation also reflect on its setting that of an observation room at a former Pathological Anatomical Laboratory, where the act of watching and the awareness of being watched are analysed, and the boundaries between the living and the dead are challenged.

Pedaling Positivity
Commuters who bike to work are the happiest — and have the highest sense of overall well-being — compared with those who drive cars or use public transportation, according to a Portland State University study.
By Experience Life Staff | July/August 2014
Some commutes inspire road rage, while others inspire rave reviews. One big determining factor? Your mode of transport. Commuters who bike to work are the happiest — and have the highest sense of overall well-being — compared with those who drive cars or use public transportation, according to a Portland State University study.
While many researchers have looked at the effects of health, income, jobs, and home life on happiness, study author Oliver Smith, PhD, focused on commuting. "My study found that commute well-being has a positive effect on overall life satisfaction," says Smith.
Smith surveyed Portland, Ore., commuters who travel by bike, foot, public bus, light rail, or carpool, or who drive alone. He discovered that bicyclists are the happiest commuters — "statistically significantly happier" than public-transit or car commuters, he says.
That happiness stretches into cyclists' daily life. "My study found that bike commuters are more satisfied with life than commuters who drive alone or commute by light rail," Smith explains. Life satisfaction is influenced by many things, of course, and he says it's not certain whether happier people are more likely to bike or whether biking to work simply increases happiness.
Smith believes the findings are intuitive: "Bicycling is enjoyable and it lifts one's spirits. It can provide feelings of control that are lacking when driving in traffic or waiting for a bus, and other positive feelings, possibly triggered by endorphins. Biking and walking allow one to clear the head and focus on the present."
So whether you make bike commuting part of your routine or just an occasional thing, add some happiness to your workday — and enjoy the ride.

So, You Want to Be a Cyclist
By Kara Douglass Thom
Road riding is a great outdoor fitness activity. But it requires some cycling savvy – and some basic safety smarts.


At Cheshire and Staffs Driving School we only use fully qualified instructors.
Fully Qualified green badge holders.
C.R.B checked to ensure safety to the general public.
Conform to the D.S.A's code of conduct.
The first thing to check,is your Driving Instructor on the official register of Driving Insructors?
Driving Instructors have to display a licence in the window of their vehicle when they are charging for Driving Tuition.A fully qualified Driving Instructor will have a Green Badge and a trainee will display a Pink Badge.
Driving Instructors have to go through a very stringent qualification process which involves taking a three part exam.Only when they demonstrate that they have a sound understanding of demonstrational techniques will they be awarded a Green Badge.
A Driving Instructor who has a Pink Badge,will still be in the process of qualifying for the final exam.Approximately 75% of these trainees do not go on to qualify and the official pass rate is about 25%.
Some of the countries largest Driving Schools such as BSM,LDC learner driver centre,New driver,Bill Plant,Red and Learners U.K use trainees and generally charge the same rate for there services.
It's important to note that these trainee's have only passed their Theory and Practical Driving Test's and will be preparing for the all important test of instructional ability at your expense.
Before you commit and book your lessons ASK THE QUESTION will my Driving Instructor be fully qualified.
Before a person can be accepted onto the official register of Driving Instructors they must complete a criminal records check to establish if they will be safe to work with the general public and in particular under eighteen's.
How much should a Driving Instructor charge for lessons?
The price of a driving lesson is only one of the factors that you should consider when making the choice of your Driving Instructor.It's not like buying a new pair of jeans where several retailers will have the same product and you just shop around for the best deal.
Driving Instructors cannot be compared like for like.They may drive around in similar tuition vehicles,but the instruction they give can vary enormously.Some Driving Instructors once qualified never take any additional training to keep up with new developments.Can you imagine a Doctor or Nurse never taking further training.
Other Driving Instructors take part in CPD which is continued professional development,this ensures that they are at the forefront of the many changes taking place within the industry.
People often look for a Driving Instructor who is "good and cheap" unfortunately the two rarely go together as many have found to their cost,but only after wasting hundreds of pounds.
There are Driving Insructors who are reliable,have first class teaching skills,years of experience,high pass rates and many satisfied customers.These types of Driving Instructors stay busy for a very good reason,not because they are the cheapest in town, but because their customers learn in fewer lessons and benifit from top teaching skills.
But some Driving Instructors still teach old methods and have poor customer skills.Beware cheap is not always the least cost effective route in the end.

The English Press
Bloomsbury 2019
In this succinct and brilliantly written one-volume account of the rise and fall of the English press, premier historian Jeremy Black, the most prolific historian writing in the Anglophone world, if not on the entire planet, traces the English press's history from the 17th century to the Internet age. The English Press: A History (Bloomsbury, 2019) focuses on the major developments in the world of print journalism and sets the history of the press in wider currents of English history, political, social, economic and technological. Black takes the reader through a chronological sequence of chapters, with a final chapter exploring possible scenarios for the future of English press. He investigates whether we are witnessing the demise of, or simply a crisis of the English press in the aftermath of the News of the World scandal and Levinson Inquiry. A new title by one of the most eminent historians of Britain and a leading expert on the history of the press, The English Press will appeal to undergraduate students of British and media history and journalism, as well as to the lay reader with an interest in the history of England, and the media.

The Magic Misfits by Neil Patrick Harris
adventure books, books about magic, books for boys, books for girls, funny books, Neil Patrick Harris, the magic misfits
The Magic Misfits by Neil Patrick Harris was sent to me by the Amazon Vine review programme in exchange for my honest opinion.
Neil Patrick Harris is probably best known by adults as the actor who played Doogie Howser M.D. and he continues to act in films and on t.v. This book is a new project, and the first of a series of tales featuring The Magic Misfits.
I'm always a bit cautious about books written by people who are not actually authors. Particularly so in this case as it seems to have been co-written by Alec Azam. I have to say, the style is rather clunky and it's clear to me, as an adult reader, that this is not great fiction. Having said that, if I were a child reader, I would absolutely love this. In fact, if I had had this as a child I'd have been mildly obsessed with it.
Firstly, it's simple to read with a really page turning adventure at its heart. I loved mystery stories as a child, and the gaping holes in this one wouldn't have bothered me in the slightest. Secondly, the characters are sympathetic. Carter, the hero of the piece, is a boy down on his luck, living with a con artist uncle, forced to do magic tricks to make ends meet. When his uncle tries to entice him into crime, Carter runs away and discovers a magical place like no other.
There are great, cartoon like illustrations throughout that work perfectly with the story and help to immerse the reader in the world the author has created. What would have sold it to me, and will sell it to countless children now, is that there are secret codes, letters to the reader, and a whole heap of 'how to' magic trick explanations in the book that you, as the reader can practice, so that you can become part of the Magic Misfits gang yourself.
It's really fun. I recommend it to readers, both boys and girls (it's got an impressive, and not entirely unexpectedly diverse group of characters in it in terms of race, gender and orientation – without pushing any agenda either, I might add) aged six to ten.


Chocolate chip cupcakes–happily handed out to many small and sweet hands–just because we need to keep practice sharing.
A full batch of rosemary rolls, none shared, all gobbled.
So… the lemon cake helped heal the no-good, very bad cold, but believe me when I say I couldn't find anything to help heal the internal bleeding that kept me bedside this last week. Or the two massive rejection letters that came my way. Or the cold that pounced on top of everything. Oh, my. Things do tend to come my way in waves. Gets all of the ick out of the way at the same time, I suppose.
So, no need to spread the germs and tell you any of the gory details. Just know that right now I'm armed with antibiotics and tissues, and the knowledge that it's my choice whether I smile or frown, simper or simply get on with it.
I'm hoping next week might mean a new spate of baking. But even if it doesn't, I'm still thankful for oh, so many things. Finches still darting from fig tree to fountain, a little boy who loves being homeschooled even when I'm in my PJs, a husband who hunts and gathers cheesecakes when all is dismal, and laughter in this little house of ours despite trials and a growing basket of laundry.
It had been three days of a bad cold. My daughter and I were curled on opposite ends of the green couch, complaining and commiserating.
You know, lemon cake might help, I said.
Her eyes brightened. She stopped talking about her biology class where everything went wrong. She even half-way sat up.
Really lemony lemon cake. Super sour.
That did it. She turned on the music, I hefted my way into the kitchen, she pulled out the ingredients, and I set to mixing.
Once I started to smell the lemon filling the kitchen I knew this was a treat to share–with someone else who needed a lemony cure. I tried to think of others who were suffering with the same nasty, horrible, no-good cold, but everyone I could think of was (thankfully!) healthy. Then, I remembered… My heart sunk. I knew the lemon cake would only be a token gift, but my heart told me not to worry that the giving would be small.
A young mom in our church is strangely, seriously ill. The doctors are at a loss. Natalyia's liver shut down, and in just one week she went from living a normal life to the very doorstep of leaving. People have rallied, her mom has returned from the Ukraine, and friends are caring for her young son. On Saturday I took the family who is caring for the young boy the lemon cake, and yesterday another young boy had a tragic car accident and the family donated his liver to Nataliya. We are waiting to see how her body reacts to the transplant. Please think of them all, pray for them all, and if you happen to be healthy at the moment, maybe you, too, can give a little something to someone who is on the other side of well.
Meanwhile, I'm on the mend, and seeing the bright, sweet lemony side of things before me. Especially hopeful for Nataliya.

Study: Small amounts of pharmaceuticals found in north central Pa. rural well water — (Details)
Drinking water from wells in rural north central Pennsylvania had low levels of pharmaceuticals, according to a study led by Penn State researchers.
Partnering with volunteers in the University's Pennsylvania Master Well Owner Network, researchers tested water samples from 26 households with private wells in nine counties in the basin of the West Branch of the Susquehanna River. All samples were analyzed for seven over-the-counter and prescription pharmaceuticals: acetaminophen, ampicillin, caffeine, naproxen, ofloxacin, sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim.
At least one compound was detected at all sites. Ofloxacin and sulfamethoxazole — antibiotics prescribed for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections — were the most frequently detected compounds. Caffeine was detected in approximately half of the samples, while naproxen — an anti-inflammatory drug used for the management of pain, fever and inflammation — was not detected in any samples.
"It is now widely known that over-the-counter and prescription medications are routinely present at detectable levels in surface and groundwater bodies," said Heather Gall, assistant professor of agricultural and biological engineering, whose research group in the Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences conducted the study. "The presence of these emerging contaminants has raised both environmental and public health concerns, particularly when these water supplies are used as drinking water sources."
The good news, Gall pointed out, is that the concentrations of the pharmaceuticals in groundwater sampled were extremely low — at parts per billion levels. However, given that sampling with the Master Well Owner Network only occurred once, the frequency of occurrence, range of concentrations and potential health risks are not yet well understood, especially for these private groundwater supplies.
The researchers used a simple modeling approach based on the pharmaceuticals' physicochemical parameters — degradation rates and sorption factors — to provide insight into the differences in frequency of detection for the target pharmaceuticals, noted lead researcher Faith Kibuye, who will graduate with a doctoral degree in biorenewable systems next year.
She explained that calculations revealed that none of the concentrations observed in the groundwater wells posed any significant human health risk, with risk quotients that are well below the minimal value. However, the risk assessment does not address the potential effect of exposure to mixtures of pharmaceuticals that are likely present in water simultaneously, she said. For example, as many as six of the analyzed pharmaceuticals were detected in some groundwater samples.
"There remains a major concern that even at low concentrations, pharmaceuticals could interact together and influence the biochemical functioning of the human body, so even at very low concentrations they might have some kind of synergistic effect," Kibuye said. "We only analyzed for seven pharmaceuticals but the chances are that there may have been many more."
The findings of the research — which Kibuye will present today (July 31) at the annual meeting of the American Association of Agricultural and Biological Engineers in Detroit — should be of interest the world over because groundwater is a critical supply of drinking water globally.
It is estimated that half of the population accesses potable water from groundwater aquifers. In the United States, approximately 13 million households use private wells as their drinking water source, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In Pennsylvania, approximately one-third of the residents receive their drinking water from private groundwater wells, Penn State Extension surveys show.
It is common for homeowners with private wells to also have septic tanks on their properties for treatment of their wastewater. And while septic tanks are generally installed downgradient of the well, it is possible that contaminant from septic systems can impact well-water quality, especially if the septic systems are not maintained or were improperly installed.
"While common contaminant issues include fecal coliform, E. coli and nitrate, pharmaceuticals and other compounds of emerging concern pose potential threats to well water quality," Kibuye said. "Pharmaceuticals that are incompletely degraded in septic tanks and leaching fields can therefore travel with wastewater plumes and impact groundwater, potentially making septic systems important point sources to surrounding domestic groundwater sources."

I'm relatively conscientious about referencing sources when I write in an academic style (or even when I blog)! I was in the middle of writing a paper where I cite How Buildings Learn, by Stewart Brand, and found that the entry on Amazon doesn't include an image of the front matter that describes where the book was published.
Published in Penguin Books 1995.
… so I must have bought this copy in the United States.
I suppose that the "correct" citation is New York:Viking Penguin, but that's really following rules that don't make sense in a "world is flat" context. As a matter a fact, it makes about as much sense as sending a letter (i.e. snail mail) to Stewart Brand with a street address, when he lives on a tugboat moored at the Sausolito harbour.

Doonside Crescent Reserve is a large patch of Cumberland Plain Woodland wedged between housing developments. Despite being a patch of isolated and fragmented bush, the site contains a high biodiversity of native species that are now coming into bloom. Our work in the reserve was a mixture of APZ works and bush regeneration, primarily focused on removing herbaceous annuals such as Fireweed (Senecio madasgascariensis) and Farmer's Friend (Bidens pilosa), whilst also removing large clumps of African Lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula) and Paspalum Grass (Paspalum dilatatum) in areas of good bush.
Currently the site is a sea of yellow blooms due to the reestablishment of the stunning native Golden Lily (Bulbine bulbosa) as a result of our crew's hard work in removing Fireweed (Senecio madagascariensis) which previously dominated the site. Not to be outdone, a range of lilies are coming into bloom ranging from the vanilla scented Arthropodium spp., to the small but spectacular Wurmbea dioica. Our major success on the site was the placement of habitat logs for insects and fungi. Within a couple of months we observed the endangered Cumberland Plain Land Snail using the logs to breed whilst termites, ants, skinks, centipedes, millipedes and grubs have also made their home underneath our logs.
We have had great success in thermal weeding across the site, stimulating native seed germination with many varieties of lilies regenerating as well as Calotis cuneata, and a wide range of grasses benefiting from the work.
The APZ is firmly established, and we even had some regeneration of native species after spraying African Lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula), with the small herbs including Vittadinia pustulata and Wahlenbergia sp. making an appearance.
There is still a lot of work to do onsite, but we are heading in the right direction with the site improving after every visit.
